I love betting futures in Vegas, and enjoy shopping different casinos looking for the best odds. Last couple of trips have been to South Point, so I’ll go downtown for a day and bounce around sports books looking for the best odds I can find. But in some cases, South Point has the best odds.
Anyway, all 3 of my MLB picks are in the playoffs. Dodgers at +375, White Sox +800, Braves +1800. I bought them in early June for $50 each.
Padres aren’t playing spoiler they packed it in weeks ago and most of our starters are done for the year. Tatis shouldn’t even be playing he should have had shoulder surgery the day after we were eliminated.
They’re not depending on Kershaw to lead them through the playoffs I’m sure. Scherzer and Buehler are the big boys now, with Urias in the mix too.
I don’t bet on teams that I necessarily like, but sometimes they grow on me over the season. I think my favorite short-term romance was with the 2001 Diamondbacks. Got em at 20-1 for $50 past the halfway mark of the season. With Schilling and Johnson, I thought they had a chance. Was jumping up and down in my living room when they pulled it out LOL.
