Given the safety precautions needed to be taken to ensure the safety of everyone, bringing back the MLB is not easy. Sportsbook pay per head bookies are already preparing for the changes that will happen in the league. So far, plans include a maximum of 80 games, plus a regionalized schedule. This means that the divisions within the league will now be divided geographically.
Of course, it follows that since social distancing is a priority, fans will no longer be able to watch the games in person. They can watch on tv, stream it live, and place their wagers to their bookies through an online bookie software.
MLB’s New Normal
Teams will be aiming for local games as much as possible, and games will be held within divisions only. This is to reduce travel and reduce health risks for players and staff. But more than anything, the concern will be on player safety as well as compensation.
There are rumors that MLB players may get a pay cut to compensate for the lack of ticket sales for this season, and the player union is on top of this. All parties concerned, from players to officials, want to give the fans a good season. But of course, they have to make sure that players remain safe and healthy.
MLB players are all looking forward to see what officials can come up with. Just like baseball fans and bookie pay per head operators, they only hear rumors, and nothing has been cast in stone yet. Everyone will be hearing from officials about the plan for the season within the week, so from there we can see where this season will take us.
