MLB Playoffs 2023: Schedule, Printable Bracket, Wild Card Predictions and World Series Odds
The MLB Playoffs 2023 are ready to roll. It took all 162 games of the regular season schedule to determine the seeds and matchups, and now the chase to win the 2023 World Series is on!
Will the No. 1 seeds dominate the field, or can a Wild Card team defy all the odds and be the last squad standing?
MLB Playoffs 2023 – Baltimore was no surprise to us!
For those of you who love prop bets, we posted four of our best wagers when the MLB season began. If you followed, you know we cashed in on three of them.
The Tigers and Orioles would be great OVER wagers, along with nice side bets to win the division. Baltimore at +6500 back in March? Yes sir! Cha-ching! Also, the Padres going UNDER their projected win total brought home the bacon.
The pick that didn’t make us any money was the Dodgers going UNDER 96.5 wins. LA squeezed out 100 W’s. Still, it was a nice profit with the Tigers and Orioles at huge odds.
Like we always say, you gotta find some dogs if you want to make money. Favorites are a dime a dozen – and they don’t win as much as you may think they do.
So to continue my dog days, I am loving the No. 5 Rangers to take out Tampa and the No. 6 seed Blue Jays to send the Twins home early. The prices aren’t the greatest, but I am leaning towards the higher seeds.
Both Texas and Toronto are stacked and have the potential to score runs by the dozen.
In the other two series, the favorites are my selections to advance in Milwaukee and Philadelphia.
Below is the complete Wild Card round schedule, printable bracket, and current odds to win the 2023 World Series.
