October Is Here

I don't know about you, but I'm loving this new MLB playoff format. The three-game home series was entertaining, and I'm glad we're done with the single-elimination Wild Card game 🧢

To kick it off, check this out...despite the fact that the Mets have already been eliminated, former superstar Robinson Cano still has a chance to win a ring 💍

With all four series kicking off today, eight teams remain in contention for the race to claim the Commissioner's Trophy. Check out the full odds list 👇

Odds To Win The World Series (subject to change)

• Los Angeles Dodgers: +270 (bet $100, win $270)

• Houston Astros: +350

• Atlanta Braves: +460

• New York Yankees: +490

• San Diego Padres: +1100

• Philadelphia Phillies: +1100

• Seattle Mariners: +1300

• Cleveland Guardians: +1600

While the top-three teams have each won it all in the past five years, the Yanks haven't won since '09, the Phillies last prevailed in '08 and Cleveland hasn't taken home the hardware since 1948 ⏰

Some of the longer shots are looking to make franchise history, as the Padres, Mariners and Guardians have all yet to win a title, with the Mariners being the only team in the majors to never make a World Series 😳

I'm sure rookie sensation Julio Rodriguez is hoping that this is Seattle's year. That would be an incredible story 💪

ALDS Preview

Looking to win their fourth American League Pennant in six years, Justin Verlander's Astros enter the Division Series as slight favorites ahead of Aaron Judge's Yankees. While each superstar has concluded their regular season as a completely prohibitive favorite to win the AL's top two individual awards, their teams each have a long ways to go before they can even sniff another title 🏆

• Aaron Judge's MVP Odds: -10000

• Justin Verlander's Cy Young Odds: -20000

While I wouldn't necessarily recommend betting the awards race with such an impossibly low return on investment at this point, there is still action to be had on the outstanding division series 💸

ALDS Betting Preview

• Mariners vs. Astros: Astros -235, Mariners +194

• Guardians vs. Yankees: Yankees -220, Guardians +182

Personally I'm fired up for this Mariners vs. Astros series...Houston has the experience, but this Seattle team is fun 🙏

NLDS Preview

Coming off a World Series win with the Braves, Freddie Freeman is looking to lead the favored Dodgers to their second title in three years. To do so, they'll have to get past a surging Padres team in their Division Series matchup. However, each club is missing a player they certainly hoped would be a key contributor down the stretch 🤕

• Walker Buehler will miss the entire playoffs, and most of next year, after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August

• Fernando Tatis Jr.'s return from a broken wrist was delayed after a positive drug test led to an 82-game PED suspension, also back in August

Still, these clubs are stacked, and this should be an electric series for fans of both teams. It certainly was the last time they met in the postseason 👇

NLDS Betting Preview

• Braves -186, Phillies +158

• Padres vs. Dodgers: Dodgers -235, Padres +194

The Dodgers are the favorite to win it all, but the other three teams left in the NL are scary. This should be in interesting 👀

For My Parlay Gurus

Starting with Game 1 of Phillies-Braves at 1:05 PM EST and concluding with Padres-Dodgers at 9:37 PM EST, baseball is on all day long today 🥰

The Braves (Max Fried), Yankees (Gerrit Cole) and Astros (Justin Verlander) all have huge advantages on the bump, which should keep them in the game early if their offenses struggle to get going out of the gates. Ride the wave with me for a potentially lethal payday if all things go to plan 👇

• Braves -1.5 vs. Phillies: +105

• Astros -1.5 vs. Mariners: +100

• Yankees -1.5 vs. Guardians: +106
