Today’s Best Bets: Will We Get a Game 7?

We’re back. Just cleaning up the MLB futures portfolio today. We’ll have a lot tomorrow—not sure what football, hockey, and basketball futures will be included but we’ll catch up on as many as possible.


World Series Game 6

We’re up 113.82 units so far on the MLB futures effort. We still have 176.64 units pending before placing this bet. Heading into today, if the Dodgers won this series we’d lose 114.64 more units, placing us narrowly below even. We have upside on the Blue Jays, especially if they win in 6 games.

So, we’re using some of that upside to get out of half our remaining Dodgers risk while dramatically raising how many units we make if the Blue Jays win in seven games.

Pick: Los Angeles to win –135. 77.38 units to win 57.32.

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: –388.40 units (started with 1,000-unit bankroll)

2025–26: –5% average ROI (weighted by unit; sample size: 866 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.

These bets are not investment advice. If you’re worried you or someone you know might have a gambling addiction, call 1-800-GAMBLER for free, confidential help.
