2026 MLB Playoff Odds for Every Team (Red Sox Making a Run; Wild Card Race Heating Up in NL)

We’re officially into the second half of the MLB season, and now is the time to take regular check-ins on playoff odds.

While a handful of teams have their spots more or less locked up, there are going to be a few changes throughout the league between now and October.

Let’s take a look at the 2026 MLB playoff odds for every team a few weeks after the All-Star break.

2026 American League Playoff Odds

Division Leaders

Tampa Bay Rays: -2500
Chicago White Sox: -180
Texas Rangers: -130

The Rays have built out a 2.5-game lead over the Yankees in the AL East, who are 4.5 games up on a Wild Card spot. These two teams are more or less guaranteed a spot in the postseason barring a second-half collapse. The oddsmakers have the Yankees (+105) and Rays (+110) both at plus odds to win the AL East, with the Red Sox sneaking in there at +900 thanks to their historic winning streak.

The White Sox are in a similar position, although their playoff spot is far from guaranteed. They’re one game up on the Guardians, who are just one game up on a Wild Card spot. Once again, both of these teams are at plus-odds to win the division, with the Tigers at +800.

The Rangers are the only team at .500 in the AL West, and they’re just a half-game up on the Mariners. However, Seattle is two games back of a Wild Card spot. Texas is -130 to make the playoffs but +150 to win the division.

Wild Card Race

New York Yankees: -3000
Cleveland Guardians: -215
Seattle Mariners: -190
Boston Red Sox: -180
Houston Astros: +230
Baltimore Orioles: +270
Minnesota Twins: +330
Detroit Tigers: +350
Toronto Blue Jays: +700
Athletics: +2500
Los Angeles Angels: +3000
Kansas City Royals: +3000

The Yankees, Guardians, and Mariners are all expected to make the playoffs right now, as are the Red Sox, giving the AL East three playoff teams, at least if the oddsmakers are to be believed.

That leaves a small handful of teams looking to upset the apple cart.

The Astros, Orioles, Twins, and Tigers all have around the same odds to make the playoffs, with implied odds between 22.22% and 30.3%.

The Blue Jays are fading fast, and they could soon find themselves in the basement with the Athletics, Angels, and Royals.

2026 National League Playoff Odds

Division Leaders

Los Angeles Dodgers: -20000
Milwaukee Brewers: -20000
Atlanta Braves: -5000

The National League divisions are more or less decided here in late June. The Dodgers are 11.5 games up on the Diamondbacks, and the Brewers are seven games ahead of the Cubs.

The NL East could see some movement, though, as the Braves are only four games ahead of the Phillies, with the Marlins and Nationals over .500 and eight games back.

Wild Card Race

Philadelphia Phillies: -1000
Chicago Cubs: -650
Arizona Diamondbacks: +140
Pittsburgh Pirates: +180
San Diego Padres: +340
St. Louis Cardinals: +370
Miami Marlins: +500
Washington Nationals: +1100
Cincinnati Reds: +1800
San Francisco Giants: +2800
New York Mets: +2800
Colorado Rockies: +5000

The National League could have a fun final few months of the season with only the Phillies and Cubs joining the division leaders with minus-odds to make the playoffs.

The Diamondbacks currently hold the third Wild Card spot, but are only a half-game up on the Cardinals and Pirates. The Marlins and Nationals are just 1.5 games back, with the Padres hanging around at three games back.

Understandably, Arizona and Pittsburgh are a bit ahead of the rest in the odds, with the Padres and Cardinals on their own tier above the NL East squads.
