I’m finally cashing NHL bets again, so now that that issue has been solved, I’m heading back to the diamond tomorrow for my winning play. For my best bet for Monday (Oct 12th): MLB Playoffs Predictions, we’re off to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, for Game 1 of the American League Championship Series. Let’s get this money!
Best Bet for Monday (Oct 12th): MLB Playoffs Predictions
Cleveland Guardians vs Tampa Bay Rays
Start Time: 8:00 PM EST
We actually have two games on the MLB slate tomorrow, with Game 2 of the National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers also going down. But it’s the moneyline in Game 1 of the ALCS that I have my eye on as my best bet.
In the matchup between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Guardians, I’m in on the Rays to win Game 1 as well as the series. The Guardians just got done a grueling five-game series with the Chicago White Sox on Saturday, so the team, and most importantly their starting pitchers, are not rested.
With the (tied for) best home record in the majors this season (55-26), and Drew Rasmussen on the mound to start tomorrow, fresh off one-hitting the New York Yankees, Tampa will be hard to beat. The Rays on the moneyline is my best bet for Monday.
Best Bet: Tampa Bay ML (-157)
Best Bet Overall 2026 Record: 153-124 (55%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($453.19)
Return on Investment: -2%
