The 2022 MLB playoffs roll on with all four series in action during an important Saturday schedule. The latest MLB odds from Caesars Sportsbook list the Braves as slight -125 favorites (risk $125 to win $100) against the Phillies in a must-win Game 4 for Atlanta at 2:07 pm ET. Seattle also has to win to stay alive and the Mariners are -105 on the money line against the Astros at 4:07 pm ET.
In the later games, the latest MLB lines show the Yankees at -120 in Game 3 against the Guardians at 7:37 pm ET in a series tied at 1-1. And the Dodgers (-120), who entered the playoffs as World Series favorites, will try to stave off elimination against the Padres in a 9:57 pm ET first pitch.

This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.
Now, the model has locked in four confident MLB best bets for Saturday. If you successfully parlay the picks, you’d be looking at a payout of well over 5-1. You can only see the model’s MLB picks at SportsLine.
Top MLB playoff picks for Saturday
The model, which ran 10,000 simulations on each of Saturday’s Division Series games, is backing San Diego +1.5 on the run line (-170) against the Dodgers. San Diego swung for the fences at the trade deadline, bringing in big names like Juan Soto, Josh Hader and Josh Bell with the hopes of competing with teams like the Dodgers in the postseason.
They could all come into play in this potential clincher for San Diego. But the model really like San Diego starter Joe Musgrove in this spot. He’s given up just one earned run in his last five starts, and one of those outings came against the Dodgers.
The model is projecting Musgrove to go almost six innings and to strike out six as he gives up fewer than two earned runs. That should at least keep this one close, if not be enough for San Diego to win outright, as the Padres stay within the run line more than 60% of the time. See who else to back right here.
