The Boston Red Sox just completely broke the betting market over the last two weeks. On July 2nd, they were dead in the water at 11 games under .500, holding +600 odds (14.3% implied probability) to make the playoffs at BetOnline Sports & Casino.
Fourteen consecutive wins later, they are sitting at -180 (64.3% implied probability). A 50% swing in postseason probability in the span of 14 games is an absolutely unprecedented mid-season turnaround.
One more win, the franchise will also break an 80-year-old record. How is that for insanity?
Caleb Durbin hit a tiebreaking homer over the Green Monster with two outs in the eighth inning, and the Red Sox extended the second-longest winning streak in club history to 14 games, beating Baltimore 6-5 on Monday night to snap the Orioles’ season-best win streak at seven.
“I’m trying not to, but I want it,” Durbin said about the possibility of tying the club record. “I can’t speak for anyone else. We really haven’t talked about it, but I want to make history here.”
