Time To Fade The Padres?
(MLB) San Diego Padres To Miss The Playoffs (-140)

This bet can be found on the DraftKings Sportsbooks App. To locate the bet, head to the MLB, then to "Team Futures", and then select "To Make The Playoffs".

As things currently sit (08/20/21), the Padres have a one game lead on the final wild card spot in the NL. The teams that are still a threat to the Padres are as follows. The Reds (1 game back), the Cardinals (3.5 games back), the Phillies (5 games back), and the Mets (6 games back).

Here is the bottom line with this bet... The Padres to make the playoffs is being offered at an appealing (+120) price. For those who don't know, the Padres are one of the publics heaviest bet teams across the MLB. That being said, this prop bet is a HUGE trap for the public. The casual public bettor does not see any logical reason that a team as talented as the Padres would miss the playoffs.

Here is what the public didn't take the time to look at... The Padres remaining schedule includes 3 series against the Dodgers, 3 series against the Giants, and series against the Astros, Braves, Cardinals, and Phillies. Meanwhile, each of the teams trailing the Padres are amongst the easiest remaining schedules in the MLB. We recommend laying a unit on the (-140) price. If the Padres drop out of that final wild card spot (which could happen any day), this price could go north of (-200).
