The MLB Draft is now thrust into the All-Star break and its added attention has resulted in betting lines at most major sportsbooks.
However, bettor beware, the MLB draft is an enigma. There are many things to account for when teams draft players. Yes, talent and need are the priority, but money is also a significant factor.
