2024 MLB AL Championship Series Picks

Winner: Texas Rangers +540

The defending champs boast the same team from last season. What makes Texas the best play to go back-to-back in the AL, though, isn’t just the rotation headed by Nathan Eovaldi, or the bats led by Corey Seager.

Runner up: Minnesota Twins +1000

The AL Central isn’t deep. In fact, after the Twins, there isn’t much to like in the division. So Minnesota should have a clear path to the postseason.

Pablo Lopez will be a Cy Young contender for sure. If Joe Ryan, Bailey Ober, and Chris Paddack can hold their own, the Twins will have one of the top rotations in baseball.

The bats are solid. Overall, though, the lineup must pick up the individual averages for Minnesota to truly contend. The belief here is that at least a few of those averages break .300.

Third Choice: Houston Astros +380

On paper, the Stros win the AL pennant. But isn’t that the case every season? And how many times does Houston actually make it to the World Series?

It feels like the Astros make it every season, but that’s not the case. In addition, eventually, all teams suffer a down turn. Houston scored a playoff spot in 2023 and then did nothing in the postseason. So the Stros down turn could have started. The odds are another issue. They’re way too low to warrant a bet.

Top Underdog Pick: Boston Red Sox +2000

The Red Sox have a sneaky interesting team. For sure, beating the Orioles, Yankees, and Blue Jays in the AL East won’t be easy. Boston, though, has the potential to field an excellent lineup.

Pitching is a question. If Brayan Bello takes the next step, he could end up with a sub-4.00 ERA. Lucas Giolito must have a bounce back season. If that happens, maybe, the Sox are this season’s under the radar squad ala the D’Backs in 2023.
