Whether you’re chasing the juice, fading your own picks, or just here for the schadenfreude, we’ve got you covered (unlike half our bets). Expect hot takes, bad beats, and zero accountability.

In this episode of The Spread Zone, Scott Rizzuto, Tim McKernan, and Anthony Stalter build out a full 2026 MLB futures card from the ground up — breaking down division winners, pennant picks, World Series anchors, value plays, long-shot sprinkles, MVP bets, Rookie of the Year targets, and Cy Young candidates. With spring training just underway, the guys debate whether to back favorites like the Dodgers and Yankees or chase payout-heavy value on teams like the Mets, Mariners, Royals, and Tigers. Along the way, they discuss how heartbreaking World Series losses affect the following season, where true betting value actually exists on the board, and how to balance chalk with calculated risk. It’s a strategic look at how to approach MLB futures — not just who to pick, but how to build a smart, structured card before the season even starts.
