Will there be a 2020 Major League Baseball season in the wake of the coronavirus epidemic? Needless to say, if it’s at all possible to stage even a hugely truncated season MLB is going to do it because there are billions of dollars at stake.

On Monday, the league pushed back Opening Day until mid-May at the earliest after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Sunday that gatherings of 50 people or more be canceled or postponed across the country for the next eight weeks. The 2020 season was supposed to start a week from Thursday.

So, while we don’t know when the season will begin, bettors can still wager on plenty of MLB futures. On the odds to win the American League pennant, the New York Yankees are +150 favorites even though they have lost projected No. 2 starting pitcher Luis Severino for the entire 2020 campaign following Tommy John surgery.
