Year after year baseball betting becomes more and more difficult in deciding who will win the World Series. Experts and fans alike each know that MLB betting on the American League East is extremely difficult. But in the National League the betting becomes a little easier as the Phillies and Cardinals are usually guaranteed post season births. The most exciting division in all of baseball as seen over the last few years is the National League West. A division made up of the San Diego Padres, Colorado Rockies, LA Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks.

Annually the division and wild card are battled over all the way until the final weekend of the regular season. For the majority of the season, the difference between whoever is in first place and whoever is in last place in the West is only two to five games. As well, for the last few years, the Giants and Diamondbacks are usually out of the race by July, however this year both of those teams look to be getting stronger.

To start the season, the Padres, Giants and Dodgers each got off to strong starts, while the Diamondbacks and Rockies struggled out of the gate. Lately, the Diamondbacks have continued to struggle while the Rockies appear to be rounding into form. Last night the two clubs faced each other in the series finale, with the Rockies claiming an eight to three victory. The Rockies led by stars Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez reeled off three consecutive home runs in the romp.

Currently, the Padres continue to lead the division, however with the Rockies rounding into form and the Dodgers and Giants gaining steam, the NL West looks to be headed for another dramatic end to the regular season.
