Odds to Make National League Playoffs
Odds as of September 26th at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Notes on the latest MLB Playoffs odds movement in the National League include:
- September 26 – Just one NL playoff spot remains and the Mets may yet hang on to it. New York is getting -330 to pick up the sixth seed, thanks to their one-game cushion over the Reds.

- May 7 – After getting plus-money odds to open the season, the Padres (-210) are a likely candidate to nab a NL Wild Card at season’s end.
- April 10 – The Braves’ slow start to the season have seen their playoff odds already drop from -400 to -185, though they’re still getting the fourth-best odds in the National League.
- February 19 – The opening MLB Playoffs odds in the National League has four clear frontrunners (the Dodgers, Braves, Phillies, and Mets) before a mess of teams vying for the final two spots, ranging from the Cubs at -140 down to the Cardinals and Pirates at +360 each.

Odds to Make American League Playoffs
Odds as of September 26th at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Notes on the latest MLB Playoffs odds movement in the American League include:

- May 7 – Big shakeup in the American League Playoff odds with the Tigers climbing as high as -500 to lead the way, while the Orioles plummet from +145 to +280.
- April 10 – The Texas Rangers have nearly climbed to the top of the AL Playoffs odds table, going from -130 to -240 in the two weeks since Opening Day.
- February 19 – Going into Spring Training, the New York Yankees are the only clear favorite to make the American League playoffs. In terms of probability, there’s just a 10.1% difference between the Texas Rangers with the fourth best odds at -125 and the Cleveland Guardians with the 10th best at +120.
