Elite Eight Teams Left in MLB Postseason
Dodgers Remain Top Choice
It is never too late to play MLB futures at BetsUS. There are eight teams left in the postseason and there are intriguing World Series baseball betting odds.
The two-time champion Dodgers continue to lead the baseball World Series odds market at +200. That’s not a shock as they continue their best-of-five series with the Atlanta Braves (+850). Atlanta went through the only wild-card round that was three games, eventually eliminating the Philadelphia Phillies.
The second choice in MLB odds to win the World Series is also in the National League. Looking for a nice price, look no further than the Milwaukee Brewers. They won the most games in MLB in the 2026 regular season and are listed at +450. Will Milwaukee get past the surging San Diego Padres, who are +950 in MLB futures?
San Diego has been playing great baseball down the stretch and dispatched the Cubs to earn the series against the Brewers. This figures to be a tough task to get past the Brewers, but the Padres have finally been living up to the level of play many have expected.
American League Titans Tangle
MLB, for some reason, doesn’t re-seed its playoff teams after the Wild-Card round. If there was an example of a reason why this needs to be reconsidered, it is this postseason.
The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays combined for 191 wins in the regular season. The Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians had a total of 169. Why wouldn’t MLB have the top-ranked Rays play the White Sox while the Yankees meet the Guardians? What’s the point of having a slew of wins if all it does is get you a more difficult matchup in the division series?
Tampa Bay won the AL East comfortably over the Yankees. However, the oddsmakers are not sold on the Rays. Despite 98 regular-season wins to New York’s 93, Tampa Bay is +750 in MLB future bets. That’s a nice number for people looking for an extremely live team if it can dispatch the Yankees (+500) to win it all in the division series and then finish off the AL Central team that survives its best-of-five scramble.
Coming out of the AL Central has led to the White Sox and Guardians being dismissed in future odds MLB. Chicago, which lost 324 games in its previous three seasons, is considered the longest shot of the remaining eight teams at +1600. The Guardians caught Chicago late in the season to win the AL Central and sit at +1000 in World Series baseball betting odds.
Whether one is sitting on a ticket at a nicer price than is left or it is time to hedge the bet to guarantee a profit in the futures bets MLB market, BetUS is the place to go. There are eight teams left, and tempting choices and tough decisions remain.
This is probably the last chance to get a comfortable price because when the field whittles to four, the odds will be shorter. Ready, set, go get those MLB futures.
