The last week of the Major League Baseball regular season is here, and there are still three true races. All betting on the 2025 MLB post season can be found here.
And the funny thing is, all three were thought to be foregone conclusions a week ago.
Aaron Judge was a sizable favorite a few weeks back to win his third American League MVP Award.
Not so fast my friend (hat tip to Lee Corso)! Cal Raleigh is now up to 58 home runs, leading the Mariners to an incredible 14 wins in their last 15 games, all while playing the most grueling position in baseball.
He has seven home runs in these 15 games, and now the Mariners are on pace to have the first-round playoff bye.
AL MVP
Cal Raleigh -130 (10/13)
Aaron Judge +100 (1/1)
Note: Odds indicate a 56.5% likelihood of Raleigh winning the MVP.
Next up is the AL Central Division where the Guardians have picked up eight games in the standings over their last 10 games.
The Tigers hold a one-game lead, currently, and all six of their final games are on the road, including the next three in Cleveland. Meanwhile, the Guardians have all six games at home.
The Tigers and Guardians can both make the postseason, or the loser could be on the outside looking in to the Houston Astros.
2025 AL Central Division
Detroit Tigers -150 (2/3)
Cleveland Guardians +120 (6/5)
Note: Odds give Tigers a 60% likelihood of winning the Division.
Finally, we move to the last Wild Card spot in the National League. In late June, the Mets had the best record in baseball.
Since then, they are one of the worst five teams and are now tied with Reds for the last spot.
The Mets play all six on the road while the Reds have the first three at home and the second three in Milwaukee.
BetOnline.ag has odds on which of these two teams reaches the postseason.
Team to make the Playoffs
Cincinnati Reds -140 (5/7)
New York Mets +110 (11/10)
Note: Odds give the Reds a 58.3% likelihood of making the playoffs over the Mets.
