MLB Playoff Picture: Teams To Watch
Here are two bets we like.
Arizona Diamondbacks To Make Playoffs (+110)
The D-backs might not win the NL West, but, after reaching the World Series a year ago, these Rattlers aren't giving up. Corbin Caroll will make an MVP push in 2024, so don't be surprised if Arizona ends up as the second wild card this year.
Tampa Bay Rays To Make Playoffs (+130)
Yes, the Rays traded Tyler Glasnow and Wander Franco is unlikely to play in 2024, but this is still Tampa Bay. This organization prides itself on a rolling conveyor belt of scrubs-turned-studs. Manager Kevin Cash won't let this club fall short, either.

MLB Win Totals: Teams To Watch
Here are a few totals worth watching.
Tampa Bay Rays OVER 84.5 Wins (-105)
Yes, I'm bullish on the Rays' win total, too. Excluding the 2020 COVID season, Tampa has won OVER 84.5 games in five straight seasons.
The Rays pitching staff is dinged up in 2024, but, believe me, they will find warm bodies to fill the void. Tampa Bay always finds a way.
San Francisco Giants UNDER 81.5 Wins (-120)
The Giants are a mess. With a limp offense and a dangerously weak starting staff beyond Logan Webb, San Fran is trending toward a third-straight sub-81-win season. And there's a chance they drop even lower in 2024.
This is the best UNDER on the board.
Who is playing in the AL wild card series?
The Toronto Blue Jays will play the Seattle Mariners in the 2022 AL wild-card series. Toronto is hosting all three games.
The Cleveland Guardians will also play the Tampa Bay Rays for the AL wild card. Cleveland is hosting all three games.
Who is playing in the NL wild card series?
The Philadelphia Phillies will play the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2022 NL wild-card series. St. Louis is hosting all three games.
The New York Mets will also play the San Diego Padres for the NL wild card. New York is hosting all three games.
