Dodgers Remain Favorites Despite Not Leading Division
The defending World Series Champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, have remained the betting favorite all season despite not leading their division. The San Francisco Giants hold the best record in Major League Baseball at 82-48, but the Dodgers still sit only 2.5 games back in the race for the division.
Both teams are locks to make the postseason, but the team that fails to win the division will have to play in a wild card game and will have a much tougher path to the World Series.
New York Yankees Surge Since Trade Deadline
Adding Anthony Rizzo, Joey Gallo and Andrew Heaney at the MLB trade deadline has proven invaluable for the Yankees. They’ve won nine of their last 10 games, and are firmly in a wild card spot heading into the final month of the season.
They still sit four games back of the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East, but there’s plenty of baseball left to be played this season. After looking like they could miss the postseason, the Yankees are now finally living up to everyone’s preseason expectations.
What Happened to the New York Mets?
It was only a few weeks ago that the New York Mets were sizable favorites to win the NL East, the division that they had been leading all season, but their lack of offense has finally caught up to them.
The Mets are now 3-7 in their last ten games, and have fallen off a cliff since the start of August. With a losing record at 62-67, they’ve lost the lead on the division and now sit 7.5 games back of the Atlanta Braves. Their hopes of a postseason berth have slipped through their fingers in record time.
