Best Bets for MLB Postseason
Best Bets for Dodgers vs Phillies
Perched as +360 favorites on the World Series odds, the Los Angeles Dodgers will be aiming to snap a three-series losing streak against the Philadelphia Phillies when they take the field at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday night. Shohei Ohtani is expected to take the mound for the first time in the Postseason in Game 1, and will be aiming to extend an impressive run of 17.1 innings during which he has not surrendered an earned run.
That shutdown stretch includes 5.0 innings of no-hit ball in his first ever mound appearance against the Phillies on September 16. In addition to sporting short -185 odds of allowing UNDER 2.5 earned runs, Ohtani will be looking to build on a solid performance against Cincinnati in NL Wild Card action, with the superstar connecting on two home runs and three RBI, and is worth backing on the MLB props as a +145 bet to pick up at least one RBI in Game 1.
Best Bets for Yankees vs Blue Jays
The Toronto Blue Jays aim to extend their recent dominance over the New York Yankees on home turf at Rogers Centre when they hit the diamond for Game 1 of their ALDS matchup on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Jays defeated the Bronx Bombers in six of seven home meetings this season and 11 of 15 overall since September 2023, but despite enjoy five days rest and a return to good health that includes the possible return of injured star Bo Bichette, they still find themselves lagging as +130 underdogs on the MLB series prices ahead of Game 1.
The Yankees are coming off an impressive Wild Card win over the Boston Red Sox, but with that series going the distance, they are unlikely to get the pitching matchups they had hoped for. Combined with the Yankees' growing track record of futility when opening Postseason series on the road, losing three straight and six of nine, the Blue Jays offer good value as -135 favorites on the Game 1 MLB odds and to eventually claim the series win.
Best MLB Postseason Picks
- Shohei Ohtani: UNDER 2.5 earned runs | -185
- Shohei Ohtani: OVER 0.5 RBI | +145
- Toronto Blue Jays: Series winner | +130
Best Events to Use the BetMGM Bonus Code For Saturday October 4
- NCAAF: Mark Fletcher Jr., OVER 80.5 rushing yards | -115. The Miami Hurricanes extended their red-hot 4-0 start with last week's 26-7 rout of the Florida Gators. Running back Mark Fletcher Jr. has played a huge role in the Canes' early-season success, averaging 118 rushing yards over the past two games and racking up five total TDs. Look for Fletcher to maintain that pace while paying out as a -115 bet on the college football props to top 80.5 rushing yards on Saturday night.
- MLB: Vanderbilt vs Alabama, UNDER 55.5 | -110. The Vanderbilt Commodores have had their way with overmatched opponents during a dominating 5-0 start but find themselves pegged as 10.5 underdogs on the college football odds in Saturday's date with Alabama. Indeed, Vandy will struggle to run up the score against a Crimson Tide pass defense that ranks second in the nation. While the Commodores are and intriguing bet to cover, the better betting value is found in backing these teams to go UNDER 55.5 in totals betting.
