Update as of September 16, 2024

The hunt for October baseball remains one of the most entertaining races in all sports. Following a series loss to the Phillies, the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves are tied for the final NL Wild Card spot. Both teams will play a non-playoff team in their next series, but after playing the Phillies again at the end of the week, the Mets will start next week with a three-game set against the Braves.

That three-game series from September 24-26 will likely determine who wins the final NL playoff spot. Based on the market, sportsbooks believe the Braves have the edge in this matchup, and that certainly could be due to the fact that Francisco Lindor left Sunday's game with a back injury, making his status moving forward undetermined.

In the American League, the Wild Card race is also exciting. The Twins currently hold a 2.5-game lead over the Tigers and Mariners for the final spot, but Detroit and Seattle have been the better teams over the past ten games. All three teams have two series remaining with surefire playoff teams, so while sportsbooks believe the Twins have the best chance to secure the final spot, the Tigers and Mariners will have their chance.

Update as of September 12, 2024

At one point in the season, the Atlanta Braves had the fourth-best odds to win the World Series, and the New York Mets were getting pressured by fans to trade Francisco Lindor. Well, baseball is a long season for a reason, and as we head down the home stretch, the Braves are moving closer to even money just to make the postseason, while the Mets are (-165) on FanDuel after going from being no-hit to winning the game 6-2.

With that win and their 8-2 record over their past ten games, the Mets hold a one-game lead over Atlanta for the final NL Wild Card spot. Currently, those two NL East foes are in the most intense Wild Card race, but that could change soon, as the Detroit Tigers are making an impressive surge for the final AL Wild Card spot.
