Playoff baseball is racing to its conclusion.
MLB clubs play 162 games only to fight their absolute hardest in the tensest, tightest October moments. And it's part of the experience to bet these electric games all the way to the World Series.
The 2023 MLB Playoffs have chugged into the ALCS and NLCS matchups. Here's what we've got:
2023 MLB Playoff Series Prices: ALCS Odds
Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros
| Clubs | Odds |
|---|---|
| Texas Rangers | -450 |
| Houston Astros | +350 |
Odds as of Oct. 18
Rangers lead series 2-0
At the start of the ALCS, Texas carried +120 odds. You're licking your chops if you snagged that value, as the Rangers have moved to -450 favorites two games in.
Now what? Well, if you don't want to play a series handicap, this is probably your last chance to throw a prayer on Houston at +350. Keep in mind, though, clubs that trail 2-0 in a seven-game playoff series win just 14% of the time.
For more Rangers action, go with Rangers -1.5 (-270) or Rangers -2.5 (-140).
Best Bet: Rangers -2.5 (-140)
2023 MLB Playoff Series Prices: NLCS Odds
Arizona Diamondbacks vs Philadelphia Phillies
| Clubs | Odds |
|---|---|
| Arizona Diamondbacks | +650 |
| Philadelphia Phillies | -1000 |
Odds as of Oct. 18
Phillies lead series 2-0
The Phillies scored 20 runs in four NLDS games, upset the World Series favorite Braves, and haven't stopped yet. I'd say there's plenty of momentum in the City of Brotherly Love.
After dropping a 10-spot on the D-backs in Game 2 of the NLCS, Philadelphia has assumed chalk spot to win the World Series. A Phillies sweep (+205) is the only smart bet remaining.
Best Bet: Phillies to sweep (+205)
