    MLB Futures

    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.
