jeffreysfishfry 154 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Any takers? with all the 2003 comparisons, it sure gets my attention. Here is another oddity, mentioned by another poster who has compiled a decent list of them. A win tomorrow would mirror 2003 exactly. In 2003 we clinched, winning the first game in the seasons final series against the N.Y. Mets. If we win tomorrow it won't be official, but it could be the conclusion to winning the wild card.

Michael 2,176 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Shouldn't we have been 30/1 odds from day 1? Are we not 1 of 30 teams? Wow, Oddsmakers. Weird move. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SirFishFan 349 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 This was from February of this year.. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-marlins/fl-sp-marlins-mlb-betting-odds-20200214-xmx5jwuwgbc5rcpk5bjym2vmjq-story.html Quote "So, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is Las Vegas doesn’t think highly of the Miami Marlins’ chances this season. The good news is if you’re bullish on the Marlins’ chances, you could earn some serious cash. With spring training underway, the Marlins have the third-worst odds of winning the World Series, according to the website Sports Betting Dime. At 300/1, Miami odds are only above the Detroit Tigers and Baltimore Orioles — both 500/1. That means you could hypothetically win $300 if you plunk down a buck for Miami to win it all..." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jeffreysfishfry 154 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 You couldn't expect the Jays to be 2/1 odds if they played the Dodgers, just because it's the last two remaining teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
