It’s been a mixed bag for the Philadelphia Phillies as the end of August looms. They’ve won five of their last ten games but still have some breathing room as the NL’s top wild-card team. With that, the Phillies’ odds of winning the Pennant have been bet down from +1000 to +950.
With four straight victories and seven over their last ten games, the Milwaukee Brewers are starting to solidify their positioning atop the NL Central. Even with that, the Brewers’ odds haven’t changed over the last week to win the National League, continuing to reside at +1600.
Six wins over their last ten games have the Chicago Cubs back occupying a wild-card spot in the National League. They trail the Brewers by 3.5 games for the NL Central lead, while their odds of winning the Penannt have taken a slight hit from +1700 to +1900.
Losses have started to pile up for the San Francisco Giants, and they’re no longer owners of a playoff spot. The Giants sit half-game out of the wild-card race and have lost seven of their last ten games. With that, San Fran’s odds of winning the National League have tailed off from +1700 to +2400.
If you’re looking for one of the hottest teams in the NL, the Arizona Diamondbacks are just that. The D-Backs have won four in a row and eight of their last ten games, which has them occupying a wild-card position. As a result, the D-Backs’ odds of winning the NL have risen from +3500 to +3300.
With a 5-5 record over their last ten games, the Miami Marlins sit one game behind the final wild-card spot in the National League. The Marlins have seen their Pennant odds fall from +3000 to +4200, thanks to recent inconsistencies.
There have been many chances for the San Diego Padres to get back in the National League wild-card race, but they sit six games out heading into action on August 23. As a result, their odds of winning the National League have continued to drop from +3000 to +4600.
The Cincinnati Reds have quietly started to fall out of the NL Central race, where they sit four games back of the Brewers. Still, they remain only a half-game out of a wild-card spot and are very much in the playoff hunt despite their +6000 odds to win the Pennant.
