And if they don\u2019t, the MLB season is off the cards for 2020. Reportedly, the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) is the reason for the stalemate. Over the weekend, the MLBPA rejected an offer of 72 games and 80% pay, saying that further talks \u201cwould be futile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Executive Director Tony Clark of the MLBPA says the MLB should set a schedule and call teams back. However, that would give the union grounds to take the league to court over lost wages and damages. Meanwhile, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has lost hope after assuring fans that the MLB season would go ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Just last week, he was confident in a return and told ESPN that the stalemate \u201cshouldn\u2019t be happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8220 size-full\" title=\"MLB Season Rob Manfred\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gambling360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mlb-season-rob-manfred.png\" alt=\"MLB Season Rob Manfred\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gambling360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mlb-season-rob-manfred.png 500w, https:\/\/www.gambling360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mlb-season-rob-manfred-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gambling360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mlb-season-rob-manfred-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/www.gambling360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mlb-season-rob-manfred-360x240.png 360w, https:\/\/www.gambling360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mlb-season-rob-manfred-262x174.png 262w, https:\/\/www.gambling360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mlb-season-rob-manfred-162x108.png 162w, https:\/\/www.gambling360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mlb-season-rob-manfred-100x67.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\n<h2>Odds on the 2020 MLB Season<\/h2>\n<p>While the country waits for the MLB season to start, oddsmakers are offering lines on the two organizations striking a deal. Two weeks ago, the odds were at \u201cYes -500,\u201d implying an 83.335 chance. Had you bet $100, you\u2019d only net $20.<\/p>\n<p>However, today\u2019s odds are reduced to -165, which implies a 62.26% chance of winning $60.61 on a $100 bet. And if you take the underdog odds, you\u2019d get $125 from a $100 wager if the MLB season is canceled.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter to the MLBPA, Manfred stated that the owners are \u201c100 percent committed\u201d to getting the season back on track. As for the lines on that, bookmakers are offering these odds for the amount of regular-season games:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>51-65 games (-155)<\/li>\n<li>50 or less (+225)<\/li>\n<li>66 or more games (+375)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Pandemic Regulations in Play<\/h2>\n<p>According to the team owners, they can\u2019t afford to pay full salaries while COVID-19 regulations are in place. Without fans in the stadiums and shortened MLB season, baseball just isn\u2019t profitable. Of course, Manfred\u2019s over-confidence is only succeeding in stirring the pot to upset fans and players.<\/p>\n<p>In recent statements, the commissioner threatened to outright cancel the season entirely. It seems like someone\u2019s batting to thin air.
