To start, I will grade the rest of my Divisional Series Bets. This isn’t going as well as everything else has so far in this blog. As tempting as it is to press things and try to get even, I’m going to stick with my process.

My Championship Series predictions were:

ALCS – Baltimore Orioles vs. Minnesota Twins – I got both of these wrong.

NLCS – Atlanta Braves vs. Arizona Dbacks – Only the Dbacks were correct

Graded Bets:

Arizona Dbacks to win Wild Card Series +165 – Won $165

Toronto Blue Jays to win Wild Card Series +118 – Lost $100

Miami Marlins to win Wild Card Series +165 – Lost $100

Texas Rangers to win Wild Card Series +140 – Won $140

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Atlanta Braves +2000 – Lost $100

Toronto Blue Jays win series 2-1 +285 – Lost $100

Braves to Win the National League +150 – Lost $100

Braves to Win the World Series +330 – Lost $100

Texas Rangers vs Atlanta Braves +1800 – Lost $100

Minnesota Twins to win ALDS +135 – Lost $100

Arizona Diamondbacks to win NLDS +195 – Won $195

Twins to win the American League +370 – Lost $100

Total Profit: Risked $1,200 / Lost $400 = -33%

I have my own method of pricing out the series odds. So I will start with my numbers and then compare them each to the best available market numbers to find the value in the overall series prices for these teams:
