Whether you’re betting in Vegas or looking to move your money offshore, here’s a quick snapshot of the current prices (As of 4/1) for all 30 MLB teams.  On the bottom of the chart is each book’s specific hold percentage.  For those bettors unfamiliar with that term, hold percentage is the theoretical percentage a sportsbook should keep of each dollar wagered in a given market if teams are priced correctly and they’re seeing balanced action.  Lower hold is always better for the player but even in the highest hold books there’s often a team or two available at more advantageous prices than you’ll find at even the most competitive books.
