- The Boston Red Sox have won 13 games in a row and have +1000 odds to win the AL East at +1000 odds.
- Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough has +350 odds to win NL Manager of the Year.
- Both longshot picks could translate to a higher cash out offer if success continues.
BOSTON – Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear, and that phrase is true in the race for the AL East. The Boston Red Sox have won 13 games in a row and now are just 6.0 games behind the division-leading New York Yankees.
Still, MLB betting sites aren’t bought in on the Sox just yet. Boston has +1000 odds to win the AL East, far behind the Yankees (-120) and Tampa Bay Rays (+130).
AL East Division Winner Odds
- New York Yankees -120
- Tampa Bay Rays +130
- Boston Red Sox +1000
- Baltimore Orioles +3000
- Toronto Blue Jays +5500
The Boston Red Sox completed a four-game sweep against the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend, marking a large swing within the division. That sweep extended Boston’s win streak to 13 games, tying the 1948 team with Ted Williams for the second-longest streak in team history.
Can they win the division? Odds say its unlikely, but with six more home games coming up against the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays, it’s time to get on the hype train before Boston’s hot streak gets more national media coverage.
Bet Marlins’ Clayton McCullough For NL Manager Of The Year
One of the most valuable MLB awards futures isn’t a player; it’s a manager. Clayton McCullough of the Miami Marlins has +350 legal sports betting odds to win the National League Manager of the Year award in his second season with the club.
National League Manager of the Year Odds
- Don Mattingly (PHI) +290
- Clayton McCullough (MIA) +350
- Pat Murphy (MIL) +500
- Oliver Marmol (STL) +600
- Blake Butera (WSH) +750
Since firing manager Rob Thompson after a 9-19 start to the season, Don Mattingly stepped in for the Phillies and they went 38-18 (MLB best in that stretch). However, this feels more like a vibe change than impactful management with such a talented roster.
As for Miami, they won 79 games in McCullough’s debut last season after a disastrous 62-100 record in 2024. Now, the Marlins hold an NL Wild Card spot and have won 50+ games before the All-Star break for the third time in franchise history.
The Marlins have lost six-consecutive games but if manager Clayton McCullough can steer the ship and get his team into the postseason, he’s a good bet to win NL Manager of the Year at +350 odds.
