The Major League Baseball Playoffs are underway, and the New York Yankees are the public choice to win the American League pennant. With the best record in the American League and the highest payroll in the junior circuit, the Yankees are a compelling choice. In addition to their performance on the diamond this year, the Yankees are a megabrand. With that status, the price... 

The National League playoffs have opened with a familiar name on top of the wagering board. The Los Angeles Dodgers have opened as the favorite to win the National League pennant.

With the expansion of the wild card format, the MLB Playoffs have become... 

The final weekend of the 2024 MLB season is upon us with a few games on Saturday, September 28 likely having postseason implications. Entering the weekend three teams are fighting for two wild card spots in each league. The Padres will play a role in which team joins them in the NL playoffs. The Padres secured a playoff spot and can finish anywhere from NL West champ to third wild card. Th... 

There is one chance remaining to hit a mid-week MLB parlay since September 25 is the last Wednesday of the 2024 regular season. Oh, we’ll still take our shots once the postseason begins, but we won’t have the opportunity to bet against the White Sox at that time. With several teams battling for a spot in the playoffs there are some important games on the slate. The NL West title is on the ... 

The next to last Saturday of regular season play on the 2024 MLB schedule has a number of matchups that will affect the playoff races in both leagues that we can also use to build a winning MLB parlay. The number of teams vying for a postseason spot has dwindled but tight races for wild card positioning will leave one club in each league out of the picture. The San Diego Padres have the to... 

It’s probably a good thing for my MLB parlays that the 2024 season is nearing an end. Last week’s picks failed miserably with the three-teamer missing all wagers. We can look at the positive, though, and say we have only a few more chances to cash a winning ticket. And well, since there are 15 games on the schedule for Saturday, September 18, playing a parlay is the only thing to do. There... 

With just a few weeks remaining in the 2024 MLB regular season there are some key matchups on the schedule for Saturday, September 14 to help clarify playoff positioning. Two of those games take place in the NL between division leaders and wild card contenders. The New York Mets won’t catch the Phillies in the NL East but they can track down the top wild card spot. No-hit through eight inn... 

As the clock ticks down on the 2024 MLB regular season several teams remain in contention for a playoff spot and winning games now takes on added importance. Entering the week the New York Mets are the hottest team in baseball. They won nine straight games before the streak was halted on Sunday in a 3-1 loss to Cincinnati. They caught Atlanta for the third wild card in the NL while closing the gap on the Padres and Dbacks. The Mets are one of the top investments on the road this season and they ... 

With a little over three weeks remaining in the 2024 MLB regular season time is quickly expiring on our opportunities to win MLB parlays. Not that long ago we had a number of teams contending for a wild card spot in each league, but we’ve seen some separation with just a few teams clinging to postseason aspirations. Two of the hottest teams in baseball entering the weekend have narrowed th... 

As we enter the first full week of the final month of the MLB regular season plenty still needs to be decided.

The number of chances to win a MLB parlay becomes shorter by the day as the league readies to enter the final month of the season.

With around five weeks left in the regular season games now take on more meaning for teams in the playoff hunt, and there are plenty of them still in contention.

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee... 

The stretch drive towards the MLB postseason is underway, with plenty of teams in the race. The Minnesota Twins have gotten the cash in seven of their last ten games to close within two games of the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central. One of the most reliable parlay legs on the board has been the Houston Astros, with nine payouts in their last ten games. In the NL Central, the Milwaukee... 

Things are heating up in the dog days of summer with division and playoff races tightening. There’s still a month and half left in the 2024 MLB season, but games won and lost now will have a direct effect on which teams qualify for the postseason. A number of games between playoff hopefuls dot the schedule for Saturday, August 17 which makes building a winning MLB parlay a worthwhile endea... 

A number of games featuring teams in playoff contention dot the MLB schedule for Wednesday, August 14. That isn’t saying much since plenty of teams are still within striking distance. Entering the week eight teams are 10 or more games behind in the wild card standings making it unlikely for them to qualify for the postseason. Those could be teams worth targeting when it comes time to build a winning MLB parlay. Or you could play the hot hand. San Diego and Arizona have been the best teams in MLB since the All-Star break with the Dbacks hosting Colorado and San Diego entertaining Pittsburgh. ...

With plenty of teams still in contention for a playoff berth there are a number of games on the MLB slate for Wednesday, August 7 that can affect the standings. Since the All-Star break San Diego has been on fire winning 11 of 14 games completing a 2-game sweep of the Dodgers last week to close within 4.5 games of first in the NL West. They’ve been a great MLB parlay pick over the last two...

Those new acquisitions should all be settled into their new digs for the slate of games on Saturday, August 3, making things more interesting for final two months. It will take time to determine winners and losers from the deadline deals, but the New York Yankees experienced i... 

The last day in July signals the beginning of the dog days of the 2024 MLB season. However, with the expanded playoff format a number of teams are still in contention. And July 31 is the first day after the trade deadline with teams looking to bolster their rosters for a playoff push. One team in need of a jolt is the New York Yankees, who have stumbled over the last six weeks with one of the worst records in baseball. Their once strong pitching got shredded for 29 runs during a three-game stret... 

The final Saturday in July brings something we haven’t seen in MLB in decades; a traditional doubleheader. That’s right, buy one ticket to the Colorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants and see two games. Oh, there’ve been plenty of doubleheaders over the years but few scheduled and most of the day-night variety. That is one of the five divisional matchups on tap for July 27 with the Yankees...

Earlier in the day the Subway Series moves to the Bronx with the Yankees looking to avenge a sweep they en...

Those clubs hook up in the Twin Cities for the first of a brief two-game interleague set. That’s also one of three crossover series with the most i... 

All but two teams are in action on Friday, July 19 as the MLB season resumes following a break for the All-Star Game. While the time off surely benefitted players that didn’t make the festivities in Texas, hopefully it helped me out after slumping on my MLB parlays. I did hit three of five individual bets last week, but unfortunately one loss was on my three-team card and the other was par... 

There are some good divisional matchups and several interleague tilts on the MLB slate for Saturday, July 13 that you can use to build a winning MLB parlay. In the final weekend before the All-Star Game hopefully your betting team doesn’t pack it in early for the break. The top two teams in the AL East tangle when the Orioles host the New York Yankees in a FS1 telecast. The struggling Yank...
