MLB Playoffs Betting & World Series Odds
Written October 1, 2008 by Jack Jones
The MLB playoffs will get underway on Wednesday, October 1st and if you want to get in on the action with some baseball betting then head over to BetUS, where not only can you get up to 150% in signup bonuses, but also a great set of odds to bet on.
The action gets started at 3 PM EST when the Philadelphia Phillies host the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers had to battle back over the past week to get past the New York Mets, while the Phillies were just far enough ahead of the Mets to win the NL East without a lot of stress closing out the season. The odds are set on the Phillies -180, with the Brewers +150. That means if you think the Phillies will win the series then for every $18 you bet, you will win $10 (plus your $18 back). If you want to bet on the Brewers then every $10 will get you $15 of profit. Head to BetUS to get your 135% in signup bonuses and bet this series.
The next game on today’s triple header slate is the Chicago Cubs playing host to the LA Dodgers at 6 PM EST. The Cubs are the biggest favorites to win their series with the Dodgers, and fans are hoping they won’t disappoint. You have to bet $23.50 to win $10 if you think Chicago will advance, and a $10 bet on the Dodgers will net you $18.50 if they make it to the NL Championship Series. If you like the chances of either team, head to BetUS now and place your wager.
The last game on Wednesday night takes place when the Boston Red Sox head to California to take on the LA Angels. This is the tightest of the opening day series, with the Angels odds set at -130, with the Red Sox getting +110 odds. Can Boston repeat as champions without Manny Ramirez? The odds makers don’t appear to think so, but they aren’t really giving a lot of credit to the team that led the American League in wins either.
The odds on the Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay Rays are not yet posted, but should be shortly. The White Sox are pretty hot coming into their series, and could have a chance to make another run through the playoffs. Tampa doesn’t have a lot of experience, but this team hasn’t been given any credit all year long and look where they are.
Do you want to bet on a certain team to win it all? Well you can do that as well and here are the latest World Series odds:
Chicago Cubs +325
Los Angeles Angels +350
Boston Red Sox +400
Tampa Bay Rays +500
Chicago White Sox +1000
Milwaukee Brewers +1000
LA Dodgers +1100
