When it comes to MLB betting, futures picks can be made at any time — before the season, right up until the postseason.

With the playoffs quickly approaching, the Foul Territory crew gave out some futures picks.

MLB Futures Picks

A.J. Pierzynski: Paul Skenes Under 164.5 Strikeouts

“You know why? Because [the Pirates] are going to shut him down,” he said. “He’s around 113 right now, and he’s only going to have 3ish more starts. Once they get to September, I feel like the Pirates are going to be out of it, and they are going to shut him down.”

Erik Kratz: Jackson Merrill National League Rookie of the Year

“Because Skenes is going to get shut down,” he said.

Scott Braun: NL West to Win the World Series

“I think even the Padres have a shot to shock the world based on their bullpen,” he said.

Foul Territory airs Monday-Friday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET.
