MLB Baseball: 2017 Spring Training About 10 Days Away

The 2017 Major League Baseball spring training schedule starts with pitchers and catchers reporting between Feb 13 and 17. Position players arrive a few days later and the first full workout occurs between Feb. 17 and 21.

As spring training begins, Betting Brain will be posting its extensive MLB Preview of each team, division and league. We don’t recommend that you bet on spring training games, which often include split squads, players who will likely be in the minors, and guys getting a tryout. These games have very little to do with winning and a lot to do with teams figuring out their rosters and players getting back into shape.

Who Will Win It All

The one thing you cannot tell from a team’s spring training performance is whether or not they will be in the hunt during the playoffs forget about which will take the World Series. Projections regarding which teams will make it to the postseason aren’t based on spring training. They’re based on information we have regarding team starters, the bullpen and established everyday players, guys who look like they’ll have a breakout season, and what we know about management, the coaches and manager, each team’s farm system, and more.

A team can lose a majority of their spring training games and end up having a huge season. The reverse is also true. A club can look great in spring training, but end up having a bad season. The MLB season is a grind where every team plays 162 games starting in April and finishing in October.

2017 Major League Baseball spring training is a great time to get to know the new players, see where teams are at, and do some analysis.
