MLB SERIES PLAYS

You can't make long term gains laying high priced favorites in any sport. You need to concentrate on finding underdogs with value or short priced favs. Betting on a MLB playoff series is no different. With that in mind, as we look at the 3 MLB playoff series with prices posted, we would automatically throw out the Phillies and Cubs. The prices are too high for us to get involved. We'd only consider playing the Brewers or Dodgers in those series. Of the two, the Dodgers present much more value and the series holds some intrigue with Torre managing in the Playoffs for the 13th straight years. The Dodgers are a live dog here. The Cubs took the regular season series 5-2 but Manny Ramirez wasn't there. Manny is the wild card here. The Dodgers have a very good chance to steal a game in Chicago which would also open the door for hedging opportunities for the faint of heart. The better team generally wins out over the course of a 7 game series but the short 5 game first round series opens the door for upsets. We're going to make a 2* play on the Dodgers to win the series at +190 or better.

We're also going to play the Angels to win the series over the Bosox at-120 or better. The Bosox are banged up, Beckett is hurt, and the Angels simply dominated the Sox this year going 8-1 against them. The Angels are the better team and the price is right. If we get a chance we'll have a more thorough write up posted on Bettorsworld tomorrow.

So two Series plays

2* Dodgers +190 over the Cubs

3* Angels -120 over the Bosox
