This is Live Bet Sunday on VSiN, the Sports Betting Network.
I'm Scott Seidenberg with you on VSiN, the Sports Betting Network, always on Twitter, at Scott's on air, and at VSiN Live as the Little League Classic is about to get underway in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. We are on the over seven and a half between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Atlanta Braves, taking one last look at the market as this game is about to begin. We are at Milwaukee now, minus 116 here at Circa, minus 108 Seven and a half is the total here at Circa. There are eight on the board. So if you are an under player and you want to take the under eight, if you're an over player, there's seven and a half, plenty of seven and a halves in the market available right now, as the pregame festivities are ongoing. We are awaiting first pitch between the Brewers and the Braves, Sunday night baseball at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the Little League Classic. So we'll get you any live betting opportunities that present itself over the next couple of hours as we watch this game and sweat out our over seven and a half. I was going to play the over on draw hand, the starting pitcher for the Brewers, over one and a half earned runs, minus 160s where it's at right now. Not going to do that. I thought about playing the team total for the Braves over one and a half in the first five innings.
Let's just stick with our main bet here. We have the over seven and a half. That's the play. We're just going to root for runs from both sides. If it happens with the draw hand, giving up two runs to the Braves, great. Our read is correct, but more importantly, it'll help us get towards our goal of scoring eight or more runs in this game coming up here tonight. Good stuff with Colby Marchio last segment. Talk a little Major League Baseball as the postseason races are heating up across the league in the National League East, of course, where the Philadelphia Phillies have won nine straight games, now two and a half back of the Atlanta Braves pending tonight's result in the American League East. The Yankees are three games back of the Tampa Bay Rays. Those are your closest division races right now here in Major League Baseball. Three and a half is the difference between the, actually, excuse me, the Rangers and Astros are tied in the AL West standings. Mariners two and a half games back of them. Guardians, three and a half back of the Chicago White Sox. The wild card race, I think, is just, like, fascinating in the American League. Can you make the argument that every team in the American League, except for the A's and the Angels, is alive for a postseason spot? Now, you would think the Kansas City Royals, who are seven and a half games out, with a record of 58 and 74, are dead to rights and not in the race for a wild card. But they've won eight straight games. If they keep winning, seven and a half is going to eventually become six and a half to five and a half, and we still have so much time left in the season. Now, there's a lot of teams you have to, you know, jump over, but right now, Yankees are the first wild card, Red Sox are the second wild card, Rangers and Guardians tied for the third wild card. Then you have the Blue Jays, one and a half back, the Twins two games back, the Orioles are two games back, Mariners two and a half back, Tigers three and a half back, and then the hottest team in baseball, besides the Phillies, the Royals, seven and a half back, winners of eight straight games. In the National League, a little bit of a different story, right? Cubs are the first wild card, Phillies are the second wild card, Padres the third wild card, Arizona two and a half back of the Padres, Marlins are four games back, the Cardinals five and a half games back, and then it's the Pirates at eight and a half, and I think everybody past the Pirates is out of it. Like eight and a half, you're out of it here. So it's a different story in the National League, but in the American League, it is gonna be quite the month of September to see who climbs up this list to make the postseason. And you know, it's what the most interesting part about it is you can look at the futures market, and it might get some good value on a team to make the playoffs, just because hey, they're still technically alive in this race. So here we go, in the American League, Blue Jays right now are plus 310 to make the playoffs. The Blue Jays are one and a half games out. Yes, there's a bunch of teams above them, but still one and a half games out, plus 310 The Orioles, plus 570 The Orioles are two games out of a playoff spot, and they're plus 570 to make the playoffs.
