Jeff Passan's playoff odds (via FJM):
I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt here (he needs it), and figure that 4/5 means the Cubs and Angels are 80% to make the playoffs (so 1/4), 2/1 means Boston is 50% (1/1), etc., etc.
These add up to 380.8%. That's not even half. Someone should inform Jeff that it's not 1992.
Okay, new contest. You get $100, which you can spread out amongst four teams. Minimum $10 on each team, max. $60. Let's all get rich.
