Wild Card Day One Mega Thread

We’re guaranteed four games of post season action today. Talk about it all here.

The matchups are as follows, with betting lines courtesy of sportsbetting.ag Note, these lines are for the series not the individual games. For those unfamiliar with betting lines, a line of +145 means you bet $100 to win $145. In this case you’d pick up $245 from the betting window if you won. A line of -145 means you have to bet $145 to win $100. You would again pick up $245 from the window but you’d have more on the line.

Rangers +145 vs. Rays -165

The odds imply the Rays have a 62% probability of winning the series.

Blue Jays -107 vs. Twins -113

The odds say this is basically a toss up with the Twins having a 53% probability of advancing.

Diamondbacks +165 vs. Brewers -190

The odds imply Milwaukee advances 65.5% of the time despite the face Arizona won the regular season series 4 games to 2.

Marlins +180 vs. Phillies -210

The odds say the Phillies are the most likely team to advance, giving the Fightin’s a 67.7% probability of doing so.

Who are you hoping wins? And do you have anything on it?

Go Snakes!

Red uniforms with an A on the hat…. Squint hard enough and it’s the Angels playing.

I thought Counsell was supposed to be a good manager. Leaving Williams in that long was Nevinesque.

Got booooooed heavily with that K…hurt himself on the swing before. Maybe it’s an oblique? Hurt often this season.

Sounds like we found a guy for next year

As Marsh steps to the plate for the Phillies in a play-off game, he thinks of the Angels and says to himself, “I fart in your general direction.”

Hard to believe that there was actually a faction against Shohei as rookie of the year.

Miguel Andujar could be in a “where are they now” feature.

Lol, another over-hype skank. Gleyber is another one. Volpe looks like he’ll ruin the streak.

One of the nicknames for the 2023 D-backs is the “Answer-backs”…….they will need to show up today now.

Those Twins uniforms are classy. Ditch the red in 2024.

Corbin Carroll is 2023 version of MNT 2012.

Definitely have a dog in this fight – Snakes plays 12 miles north of me and they play exciting ball – its a great substitute for me for Oct baseball. As Angels faded in 2023, Dbacks got more attention from me.

Also, Lovullo was in the Angels system for years as was being groomed as heir apparent for the Angels manager seat.

We whiffed on that one.

Your confusion is understandable as it’s something we don’t have.

It’s a first round draft choice that worked out at the MLB level.
