Video Transcript

- The MLB regular season has ended and the World Series is about a month away. But before we get that far, I want to give you guys my upset picks for the wild card rounds. Let's start with the American League. I like the Toronto Blue Jays at plus 170. Now, this is a surprising team because they're so young. They're in the rebuilding stage and they didn't play a home game at all, so they do lack depth in pitching. However, I think if the rest of the team can clean it up, they have a really good chance that winning. And they've got value at plus 170.

And for the National League, I like the Cincinnati Reds at plus 105. I've been high on the Reds all season long, all preseason. So I really like them here. Although their batting average isn't that impressive at .212, 61% of those runs scored were homers and that is impressive. The Reds did kind of have a slow start in the beginning, but they picked up when they needed to. And I think they're going to ride that high and win the NL wild card around. So Cincinnati Reds, plus 105.
