With the playoffs now just over a month away, it is do-or-die time for several MLB clubs. Today, by using odds supplied by DraftKings Sportsbook, we will be examining the teams with some of the best odds of recording the W.

On Tuesday, all five of the predicted clubs, save for the Yankees, came through with wins. Keep reading to see which clubs have the best odds around MLB on Wednesday.

Best MLB MoneyLine Prop Bets - Aug. 28

San Diego Padres: -125

Since the All-Star break, the San Diego Padres have amassed an MLB-best record of 26-9. Now within three games of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West, the Padres will have the chance to sweep the Cardinals on Wednesday, adding further fuel to their playoff hopes.

Pittsburgh Pirates: -170

On Wednesday, the Pirates will send rookie sensation Paul Skenes to the mound against the Chicago Cubs. In two career games against Chicago, Skenes has a 2.70 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 10 innings. However, over the past two weeks, the Cubs have scored the second-most runs in MLB, meaning that Skenes and the Pirates will have their hands full.

Atlanta Braves: -135

Anytime Chris Sale starts for the Atlanta Braves, the club has a good chance to win. On Wednesday, Sale will make his 31st career start against the Twins and will seek to better his 11-6 record and 3.81 ERA against Minnesota.

Moreover, the Braves rank sixth in batting average over the past two weeks. Still in the thick of the wild card race, watch out for Atlanta to leave it all on the field.

New York Yankees (Safest pick of the day): -198

On Tuesday, the Nationals beat the odds to defeat Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees by a 4-2 margin. However, the Bronx Bombers remain the favorite as the two clubs wrap up the series on Wednesday.

Aaron Judge is on a roll, having hit to an MLB-best 1.498 OPS over the past two weeks. Still, without a home run in the series, all eyes will be on the big outfielder as he pursues yet another single-season home run record.

Kansas City Royals (Bold Prediction of the day): +124

When the Cleveland Guardians arrived in KC for a four-game series on Monday, they led the AL Central. However, after three straight losses at the hands of the Royals, the two clubs are tied for the AL Central's first place.

"The Royals have taken the first 3 games of this 4 game series in Cleveland, they are tied for first place in the AL Central with 29 games to go and just clinched the season series over Cleveland officially giving them the tiebreaker over the Guardians" - Braiden Turner

Taking four out of four from their divisional foe would be a huge win for the Royals. On Wednesday, the team will look to veteran Michael Wacha to attempt to complete the club's first four-game series sweep of the 2024 MLB season.
