Baseball Fever - It's Almost October
Baseball Fever – It’s Almost October
Here at Alpha Tickets we try not to get too excited about Baseball. We are not particularly passionate baseball fans, and we rarely stock baseball tickets. However, we do get involved with the MLB All Star Game every year, and with post season play. Over the last few days, I have swapped my football helmet for a baseball cap to predict what may transpire over the next few weeks.
The picture of the National League seems clear. The Braves clinched last night for the 14th straight time - which is impressive in comparison to the number of times they’ve failed to complete. The Cardinals clinched several weeks ago, and the Padres have a magic number of two and are headed into the post season. The only question remaining is which team will take the wild card spot - Philadelphia or Houston. The Braves will play the wild card team in the divisional series, so this question is important, especially to an Atlanta Ticket Broker like me. The Astros appear to have a slight edge with their last three games at home (against the Cubs) while the Phillies have to go on the road against the Nationals.
The Phillies would probably make for a better ticket for the series against the braves and may also be a more beatable opponent than having to match up with the awesome pitching of the Astros.
Having yet another classic fall season race is The American League. The Yankees and the Red Sox are deadlocked in first place in their division and face off against one another for the last three games of the season at Fenway Park. The Angels have clinched, and the White Sox have a magic number of four. Again, like the National League the wild card spot is going to be interesting and in my opinion even more interesting than that of the National League. The Indians have been hot lately and will be fighting it out with the loser of the Red Sox/Yankees for the Wild Card Spot.
Below I have listed some of the current prices for 0-100 contracts on http://www.tradesports.com/ related to my predictions.

Philadelphia 9.1/11.9

You'll be pleasantly surprised at the uniqueness of the game live. Watching it on TV is okay, but actually being there in the presence of the best of the best is something you can't miss.
