The shocker to me is the Cubs are now 5 games back of the Brewers and still fading. They have that 5 game series coming up in 10 days, but the Cubs might be 7-8 games back by then. They might need to sweep just to stay within shouting distance. And the Brewers haven't lost more than 2 games in a row in 10 weeks (which in itself is astonishing). What are the chances they will go to Chicago and lose 5 straight, or even 4 of 5? The Cubs fall has been mostly Pete Crow-Armstrong. For 3 months he looked like an MVP candidate. The last month, he looks like a guy that should be sent to the minors. He really is neither.

Yankees are really fading fast. 6.5 games back of Toronto now. Red Sox have pulled to within 3 of Toronto. I have such good odds with Boston, if it were only a two-team race, I could now hedge and make a good profit. But I can't risk that as long as the Yankees are within striking distance of winning the division. I don't really think they are, but can't risk it until they fall a few more games back.

My Phillies division bet (these are all win the division bets) is looking good. Mets, like the Yankees are fading right now. I could hedge and make decent guaranteed money right now, but don't think I need to right now. Maybe if the Mets start to show signs of life.

My one division bet that is showing no life right now is the Texas Rangers. That was an impulse wager when they were winning and scoring a lot of runs. I should have done a deeper analysis.

But all told, I am pretty sure I am going to make money on these 4 futures wagers. Maybe some big money. And the best part, is I will be playing through rollover requirements. If I broke even it would be a win, but I should make good money on top. The past couple months of baseball season have been really good to me, which is good because I was having kind of a down year sports betting prior to that.
