The MLB playoffs are approaching quickly, and the addition of a third wild card team in each league has left several teams in the hunt for a playoff spot. 

Plus, there are multiple division races that are tightening up, especially in the AL West where the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and Houston Astros are all tied!

For bettors, there may be value in some playoff teams based on their odds compared to their strength of schedule or the path they have to a spot in the postseason. Last week, I compared the Baseball Reference playoff percentages to the team’s actual odds to try to find some betting value. 

There's no better way to bet on MLB playoff teams than at DraftKings Sportsbook. New users that sign up with the link below, deposit and wager $5 will instantly receive $200 in bonus bets regardless of the outcome of their bet.
