MLB All-Star Break Shocker: Which Dark Horse Teams Are Poised to Dominate the Second Half?
 If the playoffs ended today, you’d have the Blue Jays, Tigers, and Astros in from the American League as division winners. The wild card winners would be the Yankees, Red Sox, and Mariners. In the National League it would be the Phillies, Cubs, and Dodgers winning their respective divisions, and the Wild Card spots would go to the Brewers, Mets, and Padres. There are still a lot of teams in the race with six teams within 4.5 games of the last Wild Card spot Mariners, and four teams within 5.5 games of the last Wild Card spot Padres. It would be hard to see one of these division leaders not make the playoffs, but it is possible. The most likely would be the Blue Jays. If you’re looking for a team to bet against with making the playoffs, I’d probably pick the Padres or the Red Sox. You’re not getting much value on Boston or San Diego as they are basically a coinflip for betting odds at the moment. Boston got hot right before the break, but they were under .500 shortly before that streak. San Diego has played well all year, but they have to deal with the Dodgers, Giants, and Diamondbacks.ÂÂ
