Most MLB trades are ultimately inconsequential, shifting a team’s trajectory by one win or less and not affecting how you bet on their future. I’ll preface this piece by saying that the Marlins swapping minor league right-hander Justin Sterner and cash considerations for the Rays’ David Hess likely falls in that category.
The Rays have the sixth-best World Series odds among MLB teams (+900), per SportsBetting.ag; the Marlins are tied for second-worst (+400,000). Every season each team has 162 games to play and at WSN.com you can find the latest game previews and odds, including amongst other stuff; future bets and money lines.
