After Bryce Harper and the Phillies blasted five home runs en route to a 7-0 victory in Game 2 of the World Series, Philadelphia sits just two wins away from a world championship.
That means time is running out for you to make this Phillies bet and secure a payday while your squad secures a title.
As it turns out, going up 2-1 in the World Series is a critical indicator for winning it all.
Since 1987, 80.7% of teams that go up 2-1 go on to win the World Series. However, the Phillies’ current odds are just -147. That’s an implied probability of just over 59%, which gives us a massive amount of leeway to profit from.
That’s not the only trend in Philly’s favor, either. MLB.com tells us that teams who win Game 1 of the World Series go on to win 64.7% of the time. That’s two different trends that give us a better implied probability than the current odds, so we can win BIG by slamming the Phillies right now.
The next two games are in Philadelphia, where the team is undefeated this postseason, so the Phillies have both history and their fans on their side.
No bet is guaranteed, but we’ve got a better chance to be successful if we utilize historical trends and find value in the gaps of implied probability. Thus, I’m all over the Phillies to win the Series after going up 2-1.
You’d better hurry. Odds are constantly updating and you don’t want to miss out on any value. It’s almost time to celebrate, so we might as well secure a nice payday while we’re at it.
