Just in time for the launch of legal sports betting in the state.
New York sports betting goes live on Jan. 8. Four sportsbooks will be immediately available to place wagers: FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars and BetRivers.
Baseball might not be on the brain in the middle of a lockout. But getting on the Mets now before the offseason resumes and the team can make more improvements may be the way to go.
Let's look at odds across New York sportsbooks when it comes to the Mets.

|---|---|
| DraftKings | +1000 |
| FanDuel | +1100 |
| Caesars | +1200 |

The New York Mets aren't the betting favorite to win the World Series, but they're close .

New York Mets Cy Young & MVP Odds
There are no odds available yet for individual awards, but as the season approaches you can be sure Jacob deGrom and Scherzer will be near the top of the board when odds are released.
Even after a disappointing year, Francisco Lindor will likely be a preseason MVP candidate along with teammate Pete Alonso.
