It’s sort of crazy to think that in exactly one week, we could have as many as four Wild Card series being decided by a winner takes all Game 3. That’s not to suggest there aren’t huge stakes for tonight’s slate of matchups, though. In fact, four of the five contests taking place past 7:00 p.m. ET have massive playoff implications. It’s a fun time of year on the sports calendar, folks.

Thanks to the new Systems tab on the DraftKings Sportsbook Stats Hub, some plays from Wednesday’s MLB slate jumped out head and shoulders above the rest.

The following is a collection of analytical data, betting systems and strength ratings featured on VSiN and qualified for the MLB games on Tuesday, September 26, 2023. This report is meant to emulate the process that Steve Makinen and other members of the VSiN Analytics team undergo when handicapping each day’s MLB board.

Only eight teams were in action yesterday around Major League Baseball, but all 30 will take the field tonight. We’ve got a doubleheader in Colorado, which gives us seven games in the NL, six in the AL, and three interleague matchups.

Happy Hump Day, baseball fans. Just like yesterday, we’ve got 16 games on the board thanks to a doubleheader, as unplayable conditions washed out the Marlins/Mets game at Citi Field. They’ll play two today and the Marlins don’t have Thursday off, so the bullpen will have to weather a storm of its own in order to make the postseason push the rest of the week.

Every MLB team is back in action tonight, as we play through the final few days of the regular season. I have some bets tonight I’m liking to sweat along with as these games play out.
