MLB odds: Braves, Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Astros lead pennant futures
MLB is back! With the season two weeks in, here is a look at the Divisional odds for both the National League and American League.APRIL 21, 2022
Randy Arozarena - Swipes first bagArozarena went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Cubs.
ImpactArozarena had a productive series against the Cubs, racking up four runs scored and two RBI across three games despite only collecting two hits. He also delivered his first stolen base of the season Wednesday after doubling home a run in the opening inning. Arozarena has only a .220/.235/.340 line across 51 plate appearances early on in the campaign, but he has dropped his strikeout rate to 23.5 percent and has delivered four RBI and six runs scored.

Taylor Walls - Steals another baseWalls went 2-for-3 with a stolen base Wednesday against the Cubs.
ImpactWalls has earned starts in four of the last five games, and he has delivered multiple hits in each of the last two. After leading off the fourth inning with a base knock, Walls stole second base but was ultimately stranded. Walls has made multiple appearances at second and third base as well as shortstop early this season, and his ability to play across the infield could help him find significant playing time despite not having a regular spot in the lineup.

Jalen Beeks - Records first winBeeks (1-0) struck out two and walked one while not allowing a hit or a run across two innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Cubs.
ImpactBeeks entered game in relief in the fourth inning and turned in two solid frames to earn the win in a rain-shortened game. Wednesday's appearance was his fourth of the season, and he's now held opponents scoreless across 7.1 frames while maintaining an 11:2 K:BB. Beeks has also recorded more than three outs in each of his outings this season, so he should be a decent source of strikeouts while also having the opportunity to pick up occasional wins.
