*Whispers*
There’s futures value on the Dodgers today.
Washington at Atlanta
There isn’t much for Heat Index to choose from today, but for what it’s worth, the Braves are its top choice.
Pick: Atlanta to win –256. 5.79 units to win 2.26. Gore and Sale must start.
Milwaukee at San Diego
The Brewers are again the second choice.
Pick: Milwaukee to win +102. 2.22 units to win 2.26. Peralta and Pivetta must start.
NLCS
Ok, here’s the big thing. There’s postseason futures value available on the Dodgers right now.
Longtime readers know we struggle to ever get postseason units down on Los Angeles. Should we empty the holster today? It’s tempting, but we’re going to wait it out. We think this is tied to some Mets/Reds probabilities. Also? It’s really expensive. We don’t need to make the Dodgers a profitable outcome right now. We just need to raise our floor. Every little bit helps.
Pick: Los Angeles to win +300. 4.00 units to win 12.00.
Detroit at Baltimore
We like FPI, FPI likes the Lions, etc. etc. etc.
Pick: Detroit +4.5 (–101). 2.28 units to win 2.26.

I am only roughly 90% confident in these numbers. At some point we’ll get that Google Sheet up which tracks all our bets this year.
2025–26: –471.78 units (started with 1,000-unit bankroll)
2025–26: –7% average ROI (weighted by unit; sample size: 775 single-game markets plus three completed futures portfolios and one partly completed futures portfolio)
Pre-2025: 0% average ROI (worse when limited to only sports)
Units taken from best odds we can find at major sportsbooks available to most Americans.
