ASA's NFLX Thursday Night Preview

by ASA, Inc.

Monday, Aug 17, 2026

ASA’s NFLX Thursday Night Preview  Las Vegas Raiders at Houston Texans 8 p.m. ET | ESPN | NRG Stadium   Lines (as of Aug. 17; subject to change):  Spread: Houston Texans –2  Total: 38 Moneyline: Texans –130 | Raiders +120   RAIDERS WEEK 1 RESULTS - Lost at home 27-14 vs Arizona Cardinals.  The Raiders were favored by –2.5 & Total was 42.5.  Cards covered and the Under hit.    GAME TIDBITS FROM LAST WEEK - Kirk Cousins started under center and was 5-of-6, 50 yards, 1 TD.  Rookie #1 pick Fernando Mendoza came in and was 10-of-16, 97 yards, 1 TD.  Raiders were outgained 369 to 317 vs Arizona but Las Vegas did put up 5.7 YPP to 5.4 YPP vs the Cardinals.  The Raiders also outrushed Arizona 5.4 YPC to 4.3 YPC.  Defensively the Raiders did allow the QB trio of Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Mishew, and Kedon Slovis to complete a whopping 87% of their pass attempts (26 for 30).   THIS WEEK @ HOUSTON – As of this writing on Tuesday, Las Vegas new head coach Klint Kubiak, had not revealed if his starters will play or how much action they will get if they do see the field.  However, we’d expect Starting QB Cousins to get at least a series or 2 before giving way to Mendoza comes in to see extensive action.  Mendoza was under center for 4 series last week and may see more in this game.  Kubiak has a career preseason record of 0-1 both SU & ATS.  TEXANS WEEK 1 RESULTS - Lost at home 27-7 vs LA Chargers.  The Chargers were –1.5 favorites in that game with a total of 36.5.  Chargers covered and the game went Under the total.  GAME TIDBITS FROM LAST WEEK – Houston played mostly backups with the offensive line being the only grouping where the starters played (only 1 series). Starting QB CJ Stroud did not play in the game with Davis Mills starting at QB going 9-of-15, 82 yards, 1 TD. The Texans were dominated in the stat sheet as well getting outgained 379 to 209 and 6.0 YPP to just 4.3 YPP.  Defensively Houston did hold LAC to just 3.6 YPC (4.0 YPC for Houston’s offense) but gave up nearly 300 passing to Charger back up QB’s Trey Lance and DJ Uiagalelei.     THIS WEEK vs RAIDERS – The Raiders & Texans will have a joint practice in Houston on Tuesday leading into this game. Unlike last week when Houston sat most of their starters and gave back ups and rookies extended action, head coach DeMeco Ryans has already stated that everyone whoever is healthy will play in this game.  Ryans has a career preseason record of 7-3 SU and 6-4 ATS.     San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Chargers 10 p.m. ET | NFL Network | SoFi Stadium   Lines (as of Aug. 17; subject to change):  Spread: Los Angeles Chargers –1.5  Total: 38.5 Moneyline: Chargers –120 | 49ers +105   49ers WEEK 1 RESULTS - Lost at home 19-13 vs Tennessee Titans.  The Titans were favored by –6.5 & Total was 40.  The Niners covered and the Under hit.    GAME TIDBITS FROM LAST WEEK – The Tians played most of their starters while SF sat most of theirs.  Tennessee starting QB Ward played 3 series and the Niners sat starting QB Purdy.  Despite that, San Fran outgained Tennessee 322 to 279 but also ran 14 more offensive snaps leaving the YPP stats nearly even.  SF went pass heavy with 44 attempts through the air and only 28 rushing attempts.  The Niners never led in the game.  QB #1 (Purdy) and #2 (Mac Jones) did not see action in the game.    THIS WEEK @ LA CHARGERS – One of SF’s 4 QB’s and last week’s starter, Kurtis Rourke, was injured in the game and won’t play here.  That means we will have to see Mac Jones this week (didn’t play last week) otherwise Adrian Martinez would have to play the entire game.  We’d be surprised if Purdy was made available for Thursday’s game.  They continue to have injury issues with key players McCaffrey, Bosa, Kittle and others on the injury report.  The 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has been very conservative with playing his starters in the preseason so we don’t expect that to change.  Shanahan has a career preseason record of 14-12-1 SU and 15-11-1 ATS  CHARGERS WEEK 1 RESULTS – Beat Houston on the road 27-7.  The Chargers were –1.5 favorites in that game with a total of 36.5.  Chargers covered and the game went Under the total.  GAME TIDBITS FROM LAST WEEK – The Chargers dominated the stat sheet in their win over Houston last week with a +1.7 YPP differential.  LA won by 20 points despite turning the ball over twice to the Texans one giveaway.  They sat starting QB Herbert but fill ins Trey Lance and DJ Uiagalelei combined for 275 yards through the air on 9.5 yards per pass attempt.  It was mainly a battle of back ups and 3rd teams with both Houston and LA sitting the majority of their regulars.  THIS WEEK vs 49ers – Charger head coach Jim Harbaugh already laid out his plans for the preseason prior to last week’s game.  The starters would mainly sit in game 1 (which they did), they’d play 1 series in game 2 Thursday vs San Francisco, and the plan is for 2 series in their final preseason game next week vs the Rams.  Harbaugh has a career preseason record of 13-10 both SU and ATS.

England Premier League Futures (2026/27 Season)

by Amedeus Mastrangelo

Sunday, Aug 16, 2026

The start of the English Premier League is right around the corner now with the 1st match to be played on Friday, August 21. Arsenal is the defending champion of the league after an impressive season and will be looking to repeat, but the league has also been a lot more competitive over the last few years. Manchester City was the dominant club in the league for a while over the last decade, but now the league has had 3 different champions the last 3 straight seasons. With the start of the league just around the corner now, it is time to see who has the best chance at winning the Premier League Title this season.  To Win Outright Arsenal +150: Arsenal is coming into this season as the team with the best chance at winning the Premier League Title, according to the oddsmakers. Arsenal is the defending champion of the league after a 26-7-5 season, finishing with 85 points and a +44 goal differential with 71 goals scored and 27 goals allowed. They had the 2nd best attack in the league behind Man City and they also had the best defense, being the only team to concede less than 30 goals. They also went on a very deep run in Champions League, going all the way to the Final where they lost to PSG in penalties. They still had a very accomplished season with their 1st Premier League Title in 2 decades, but Champions League is also a highly coveted trophy that they are going to be a lot more focused on this year after getting to the Final last season. Arsenal has lost a bit of their quality, but they did not lose much and they also did a very good job replacing that talent. Their team has not changed much from last season though, so they are still going to have the quality and the depth to be one of the better teams in the league. They will also have a lot less pressure to win the title after finally getting over the hump last season, but since they did win it last season, the Premier League could also end up taking a backseat to Champions League late in the year if they find themselves making another deep run. They are going to be a lot more focused on getting over the hump in Champions League this season, a competition that they have never won, and they have been in some tight races in the Premier League late in the season the last few years, so it would not be shocking to see them stumble in a tight race if Champions League is still on the table. Arsenal certainly does still have the quality and the depth to win the Premier League again, but the league has not had a repeat winner the last 3 seasons and this is not a good price for Arsenal as the favorite. There is not a lot of value in Arsenal at this price. Manchester City +275: Man City is coming into this season as the team with the next best chance at winning the Premier League Title, according to the oddsmakers. Man City is coming off of a very good season finishing in 2nd place in the Premier League with 78 points from a 23-9-6 record and they had a +42 GD, scoring 77 goals and allowing 35 goals. They had the best attack in the Premier League as well as the 2nd best defense behind Arsenal, being just 1 of 2 teams in the league who averaged less than 1 goal allowed per match. This is going to be a very different Man City team as previous years though. The Pep Guardiola era in Man City has finally come to an end and with him goes the dominance of the club. They did hire Enzo Maresca to take over and he was in charge of turning around a Chelsea club that was in complete turmoil just 2 years ago. He ended up getting Chelsea on the right track before leaving and now he will be looking to take Man City back to the top of the league where they have spent most seasons over the last decade, but there are some glaring problems with the squad. They replaced their goalkeeper with Donnarumma who is certainly an upgrade for them, but the defense has lost a lot of quality and is not going to be as good this year unless some major changes are made. They lost a lot of key pieces on defense that they have not really replaced with similar quality and the pieces that they did lose were also the heart of their defense. The attack and midfield are going to be similar to last season with Erling Haaland still leading the way, but he is going to have to carry a lot more weight on his shoulders to bail out the defense. When Maresca was at Chelsea the last 2 years, they were known for having a very potent attack that could score a lot of goals, so that is going to be a positive for Haaland and company, but that Chelsea team also had some big problems on defense with Maresca in charge. Man City still has the quality to be one of the better teams in the league this season and their attack will be able to bail them out of a lot of matches as well, but this is still going to be a very different team than previous years and they are going to have to prove themselves under this new manager before they can be chalked up as a threat to win the title every year like they were in the Pep days. There is not a lot of value in Man City at this price with a new manager and a defense with less quality.  Liverpool +500: Liverpool is coming into this season as the team with the next best chance at winning the Premier League Title, according to the oddsmakers. Liverpool is coming off of a season finishing in 5th place with 60 points from a 17-9-12 record and they had a +10 GD, scoring 63 goals and allowing 53 goals. Liverpool had the best start to the season last year and were at the top of the table after 5 weeks, but they completely collapsed shortly after their hot start and were fighting the whole 2nd half of the season just to get back into the top 5. Their defense was a big problem last season as they were averaging close to 1.5 goals allowed per match and they have made some moves to improve that defense for this year, but the changes they have made do not jump off the page either. Their attack was very good last season and was able to bail out their poor defense in some of their matches, but that attack is going to look very different this year. They still have a lot of quality in their midfield, but they lost a lot of attacking talent with the departure of Mo Salah and Luis Diaz. They still have some solid goal scorers, but they lost some key pieces as well and this attack is going to look very different now. Liverpool has not been the same team since losing Klopp either and they have been searching for answers ever since he left, now with another new manager this season, their 2nd manager in 3 seasons since Klopp left. Liverpool is another team with too many new faces to be considered a threat to win the league this year, especially after such an awful collapse last season. There is no real value in Liverpool to win the Premier League Title at this price.  Manchester United +700: Man Utd is coming into this season as the team with the next best chance at winning the Premier League Title, according to the oddsmakers. Man Utd is coming off of a season finishing in 3rd place with 71 points from a 20-11-7 record and they had a +19 GD, scoring 69 goals and allowing 50 goals. They had the 3rd best attack in the league last season, but their defense was not great. They did have a very poor start to the season though and were struggling a lot before hiring Carrick to take over as manager in January and they ended the season as one of the best teams in the Premier League. They were able to surge up the table and finish in 3rd place after an awful start to the year and Carrick ended up going 11-3-2 with the team to end the season. Man Utd is also a team that has been in turmoil for years now with a revolving door of managers over the last few years, but it looks like they have finally found the right man for the job. They have lost a bit of quality from last season, but they have also made some moves to bring in more quality and improve even more this season. Man Utd has a lot of momentum with the way they ended last season too and there is going to be a focus on winning the Premier League now that Carrick will be here for the start of the season. Man Utd is a team that has not had a lot of success in recent years, but they are starting to trend in the right direction and this is one of the better clubs in Premier League history, looking to get back to glory. Man Utd is going to continue to improve under this manager this season and they have the quality to be a threat in this league. They are a team with a lot of promise this season and Carrick looks like the right man to wake up this sleeping giant. There is a lot of value in Man Utd to win the Premier League Title at this price.  Chelsea +800: Chelsea is coming into this season as the team with the next best chance at winning the Premier League Title, according to the oddsmakers. Chelsea is coming off of a season finishing in 10th place with 52 points from a 14-10-14 record and they had a +6 GD, scoring 58 goals and allowing 52 goals. They took a big step back last season after turning things around the last 2 years and now their future is uncertain. They lost a lot of their quality for this season, including a key piece in Cucurella who was one of their better players. He was a good defensive piece as well as the engine that made their attack so dangerous. He is a very difficult player for them to replace and their attack is going to suffer for it this year. They also had some major problems on defense last year and that is not going to improve much this season with the pieces they have. They were also a club that was in turmoil just 2 years ago before hiring Enzo Maresca as manager and he did a lot to turn the team around, but now he has taken the job at Manchester City, so Chelsea must start over with another new manager now. They did hire a great manager in Xabi Alonso who was in charge of a great Leverkusen club that actually won the Bundesliga Title 3 years ago, but his team did take a step back the next season as Bayern Munich retook the league and now he is coming off of a 1-year stint at Real Madrid and failed to win any trophies with one of the most talented squads in the world. Alonso will get Chelsea back on track in the Premier League, but it is going to take some time and they are not going to be a big threat this season with the quality that they have lost. They will likely be better than the way they finished last season, but there is no real value in Chelsea at this price as a true contender.  RecommendationAfter years of being dominated by the same club, the Premier League has finally had some major changes at the top of the league. Coming into this season, 3 of the top 5 contenders in the league have new managers with a lot of changes to their squads as well. Arsenal is still clearly the best and the deepest team in the Premier League this season and they certainly have the quality to be the 1st repeat winner in 3 years, but +150 is not a lot of value for a team that has been in multiple tight title races the last few years and has choked a lot of them away. Arsenal at +150 is the safe choice, but there is still a lot of time for squads to change to challenge them. Manchester United at +700 is a great option as a potential dark horse to win it this year after having one of the strongest finishes to the season and a lot of momentum with this new manager. Arsenal at +150 is still the safe option, but Manchester United at +700 is a great option when looking for a true contender with some good value.

Leagues Cup Futures (2026 Season)

by Amedeus Mastrangelo

Sunday, Aug 16, 2026

The group stage of the Leagues Cup has concluded and the competition is down to the final 8 teams. There have only been 5 editions of this competition since its inception and Mexican clubs won the first 2 trophies, but the last 3 years of the competition has been dominated by MLS clubs with all 3 years seeing an all-MLS Final as well. Now with the start of the Quarter-Finals set for Tuesday, August 25, it is time to see who has the best chance at lifting the trophy this season.  To Win Outright Columbus Crew +450: Columbus is coming into the knockouts as the team with the best chance at winning it all this year, according to the oddsmakers. They finished in 3rd place of the MLS group with 8 points after winning 2 of their matches and winning the other in penalties after a 1-1 draw. Their attack was very good with 6 goals scored in their 3 matches, but their defense did concede a goal in each of their matches. They also had the luxury of playing all 3 of their group stage matches at home, but now they will be on the West coast for their match against Club America. Columbus is currently the favorite of the competition, but this is not the same team that has dominated the MLS over the last few years. They have struggled a lot in the MLS this season, currently sitting in 11th place of the Eastern Conference at 5-5-9 and they are 24th in the overall table out of 30 teams. They do have experience in this competition as they won it 2 years ago, but they did not get back to the Final last season and they are going to struggle more now that they are not playing at home. They are 1-3-6 away from home this season and that is going to be a big factor as Club America is going to have a lot of fans in the Quarter-Final. Club America is also one of the better teams in all of Mexico and they have had a great start to their new season, so they are going to be a very tough team for Columbus to get through. There is no real value in Columbus at this price as the favorite considering the season that they have had in the MLS and the quality of opponent that they have to face in their next match. Columbus is not a true contender to win this competition.  Club America +500: Club America is coming into the knockouts as the team with the next best chance at winning it all this year, according to the oddsmakers. They finished in 2nd place of the Liga MX group with 7 points after winning 2 of their matches and losing the other in penalties after a 1-1 draw. Their attack has been great in this competition with 7 goals scored in their 3 matches, but they have also conceded a goal in each match as well. They are one of the better teams in Mexico though and they have had a great start to their new season in Liga MX. Their defense has been great to start the season and their attack has been ramping up recently as well. Club America has never been to the Final in this competition, but they have the quality to win it all as they are one of the better teams left in this tournament. They have also played just 1 home match in this competition, so they have already proven themselves with dominant performances in these away matches and now they are going to have a more friendly environment for this match against Columbus. Columbus was great in the group stage, but they got to play at home in all 3 matches and they have struggled a lot in the MLS this season, so they should not pose too much of a threat to a team like Club America that has a lot more quality, especially on defense. Club America is going to be a threat to win this competition and should probably be the favorite with the quality they have and the form they have been in recently. There is some good value in Club America at +500.  Real Salt Lake +600: Real Salt Lake is coming into the knockouts as the team with the next best chance at winning it all this year, according to the oddsmakers. They finished in 4th place of the MLS group with 7 points after winning 2 of their matches and losing the other in penalties after a 1-1 draw. They had a slow start to the group with that 1-1 draw before winning their next 2 matches by a combined score of 7-0, but Real Salt Lake also looks to be a bit of a paper tiger here. They had the luxury of playing all 3 of their matches in the group stage at home and they are not going to be at home for this next match. They also had a very weak schedule in the group stage as their 2 wins came against some of the weakest teams in Mexico, Beating Juarez and the newly promoted club Atlante, and even their loss in penalties came against Tigres UANL who is supposed to be good but has been in awful form recently. They have been good in the MLS this season as they are currently sitting in 6th place in the Western Conference at 8-4-6 and they are 11th place in the overall table, but they have also been night and day this season home and away. They have been one of the more dominant teams at home in the MLS, but they have also been one of the worst away teams at 1-3-5. Their defense has been much worse as well and that is going to be a problem in their 1st match of the knockouts against a Leon side that was perfect in the group stage. Real Salt Lake was propped up in the group stage by their home advantage and weaker schedule, but reality is going to strike in the knockouts as they are not a true contender. There is no real value in Real Salt Lake at +600. Toluca +600: Toluca is coming into the knockouts as the team with the next best chance at winning it all this year, according to the oddsmakers. They finished in 3rd place of the Liga MX group with 6 points after winning 2 of their matches and losing the other. Their attack has been great with 6 goals scored in their 3 matches and their defense has also been very good, allowing just 2 goals in their 3 matches. They were dominant in their 2 wins in the group stage against Dallas and Seattle, but they also had the luxury of playing both of those matches at home. The only away match that they had to play in the group stage was a 1-0 loss to LAFC and this Toluca team has struggled in recent away matches going back to last season. They are certainly one of the better teams in Mexico with the quality that they have and they are going to have a favorable matchup in their 1st match against Austin. Toluca has also been very inconsistent though, specifically away from home, so they are likely going to lean on their defense more as their attack will struggle to score. Toluca does have some value at this price as one of the better teams in Mexico and they should be able to get through this 1st round as well, but they are not the best option to go with in this tournament nor are they the best option to go with from Mexico. It would not be shocking to see them win it all, but there are still better options considering how Toluca could have been propped up by their 2 home matches in the group stage. There is some value in Toluca at +600, but there are still better options.  Leon +650: Leon is coming into the knockouts as the team with the next best chance at winning it all this year, according to the oddsmakers. They finished at the top of the Liga MX group with 9 points after going a perfect 3-0-0 in the group stage. Their attack was very good with 6 goals scored in their 3 matches, but their defense was not great as they conceded goals in 2 of their 3 matches and still allowed 3 goals total. They did not have an easy schedule in the group stage by any means with wins coming against Inter Miami, Nashville, and Orlando, but they have certainly had their own struggles in Liga MX. They have struggled to start the new season of Liga MX and they are coming off of a season in which they did not make the playoffs. They did not have the luxury of playing any of their matches at home though, so they were very impressive to beat 3 quality opponents away from home and they are clearly focused on winning this competition which will make them a dangerous team. They also have an easier opponent in the next round with Real Salt Lake and they have experience in this competition as they are the last Mexican club to win the Leagues Cup. Leon is a bit of a wild card here as they have struggled in their own domestic league but have shown an interest in this competition and have the quality to make a run. They are still not the best option to go with, but they are on the weaker side of the bracket and it would not be shocking to see them end up in the Final. There is some value in Leon at +650. Chicago Fire +650: Chicago is coming into the knockouts as the team with the next best chance at winning it all this year, according to the oddsmakers. They finished at the top of the MLS group with 9 points after going a perfect 3-0-0 in the group stage. Their attack was great with 7 goals scored in their 3 matches and their defense has been even better with 2 goals allowed in their 3 matches. They did have the luxury of playing all 3 matches at home, but they have been in great form recently as one of the better teams in the MLS this season and they also get the luxury of playing their next match in this competition at home as well. They did play against 2 of the weaker teams in Mexico, beating Necaxa and Santos by 2+ goals, but they still needed a win in that final match of the group stage and they beat Cruz Azul 2-1 who is one of the better if not the best team in Mexico. Chicago has been having a great season in the MLS though, currently sitting in 4th place of the Eastern Conference at 9-2-6 and they are 8th place in the overall table. It helps that their next match is also at home, but they have been a balanced team all season and they also made some big moves to improve in the summer transfer window. Chicago is by far the best MLS team left in this competition and they are going to be a threat to go all the way. They also have a great defense which will carry them deep into this competition. There is a lot of value in Chicago at +650 as the best MLS team left in this competition.  Austin +900: Austin is coming into the knockouts as the team with the next best chance at winning it all this year, according to the oddsmakers. They finished in 2nd place of the MLS group with 8 points after winning 2 of their matches and winning the other in penalties after a 1-1 draw. They picked up a great result against Club America who is certainly one of the better teams in Mexico, but their other 2 opponents in the group stage were not very strong. They beat up on a mediocre Tijuana side and Puebla who is one of the worst in Liga MX. Austin had a great attack in the group stage with 6 goals scored and their defense was also great with 1 goal allowed in their 3 matches, but they also had the luxury of playing all 3 of their matches at home and that will not be the case in their next match. They have struggled a lot in the MLS this season as well, currently sitting in 14th place of the Western Conference at 4-5-9 and they are 27th in the overall table. They also have the single worst away record of all 30 teams in the MLS at 0-3-7, allowing 29 goals in their 10 away matches. Austin has been good in this competition, but that is not going to hold up with the quality of opponents they are going to face the rest of the way. There is no real value in Austin at +900 as they are not a true contender to win it all. Monterrey +900: Monterrey is coming into the knockouts as the team with the next best chance at winning it all this year, according to the oddsmakers. They finished in 4th place of the Liga MX group with 6 points after winning 2 of their matches and losing the other. They played against 3 quality opponents as they lost to Orlando, beat Inter Miami, and completed a comeback win against Nashville after going down 1-0. That comeback win was enough to slip them into 4th place, but they barely made it through. Their attack has been good but not great in this competition, scoring 5 goals in their 3 matches, and their defense has not been good at all as they conceded a goal in each of their matches and allowed 4 goals total in those 3 group matches. They are a very good team in Liga MX and usually find themselves being one of the better teams, but they are also a very inconsistent team and they will struggle to keep things together for 3 straight matches. They are not a hopeless team here as they do have the quality to make a run and it would not be shocking to see them in the Final, but they are not consistent enough to make that happen. They are on the stronger side of the bracket with a very tough 1st match against Chicago who will have home advantage, and that Monterrey defense is going to be a bigger problem the deeper they go. There is some value in Monterrey at +900, but they are not really a big threat to win this competition.  RecommendationThere are a lot of quality teams left in this competition that can win it all as the tournament feels very wide open going into the knockout rounds. It is also very clear that the winner this season will likely be a Mexican club with the quality of the teams left. The 4 Mexican clubs left in the tournament have proven to be some of the better teams in Mexico in recent years while the 4 MLS teams left include a lot of teams that have been struggling in their own domestic league this season. It would not be shocking to see any of the 4 Mexican clubs win it all, but there are a few options that do jump off the page. Club America at +500 is the best option to go with as one of the better teams in Mexico who is rounding into form recently. Chicago at +650 is the next best option as the strongest team from the MLS left and a more favorable path to the Final. Both of those teams are on the same side of the bracket though, so Leon at +650 is another great option from the opposite side of the bracket as they are on the weaker side and have been in the best form in this competition with a Leagues Cup Title in their history as well. Club America at +500 is the best option, followed by Chicago at +650, and then Leon at +650 as well.

MLB World Series Futures Bet

by Sean Murphy

Thursday, Aug 13, 2026

If you’re looking for the team most likely to win the 2026 World Series, you can make a very easy case for the Dodgers. If you’re looking for value, however, you almost certainly have to look in a different direction. For my money, the best value play right now is the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays are currently sitting at roughly +1400 to win the World Series, and I think that number is simply too high for a team that has put itself in position to have one of the best records in baseball. The Rays entered Thursday at 74-46 after Milwaukee’s loss to San Diego, giving Tampa Bay the best record in the majors. Of course, that alone doesn't automatically make them a great futures bet. We’ve all seen teams dominate the regular season and then disappear in October. But there are several things I really like about Tampa Bay. First, this isn't some fluky team that suddenly caught fire in August. The Rays have been one of the best teams in baseball for most of the season, and they’ve continued to win despite playing in the extremely difficult AL East. Tampa Bay didn't stand pat at the trade deadline, adding Freddy Peralta, giving an already competitive rotation another frontline arm. Peralta was acquired from the Mets specifically to strengthen the Rays' rotation for the stretch run and postseason. Another reason I think we're seeing considerable value; the majority of bettors aren't nearly as interested in Tampa Bay as they should be. BetMGM's latest futures numbers have the Dodgers at +155, Yankees +750, Brewers +1000, Braves +1100 and Red Sox +1100, while the Rays are sitting at +1400. That's a significant difference in price between Tampa Bay and the teams getting most of the attention. The Dodgers are obviously loaded, especially after acquiring Tarik Skubal. But you're paying a massive premium for them. At +155, you're essentially being asked to believe Los Angeles has close to a 40% chance of winning the World Series. That's a ridiculous amount of juice to lay on any MLB postseason outcome. The Yankees are another team I expect to attract plenty of futures money, but they have their own questions. Aaron Judge has missed significant time and his return timetable remains uncertain. The Brewers are another team I like, and they deserve a ton of respect after putting together the best record in baseball for much of the season. But their price has already been hammered down considerably from where it was earlier in the season. Milwaukee was +2500 in late May before climbing all the way into the top tier of the futures market.The Rays simply aren't getting the same amount of attention from bettors. BetMGM reported Tampa Bay ranked only 12th in ticket count and 13th in money among World Series futures, despite having the best record in the American League at the time of its latest report.Obviously, there are risks. The Rays don't have the postseason pedigree of the Dodgers, and the AL East could give them a brutal path through October. Baseball is also the most volatile of the major sports when it comes to a playoff series. One bad pitching matchup, one injured starter or one cold week offensively can end a championship run.  At +1400, I think we're getting enough of a potential return to make the risk worthwhile.
