Open Extended ReactionsAfter making some of the biggest splashes of the MLB trade deadline, the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners emerged as the biggest odds movers and most popular selections for bettors in the futures markets.
San Diego also moved from +1800 to +1200 to win the National League pennant.
Bettors will be hoping that the big-time prospect talent San Diego surrendered will be worth it this season -- and that it will work out better than previous attempts.
Since Wednesday, Seattle is ESPN BET's most-bet team with 18.6% of the tickets and 30.5% of the handle for the World Series market.
Even excluding the momentum from the Suarez trade, DraftKings says the Mariners have attracted a leading 17% of bets since the deadline.
