Is this parlay a winner?

[roger6906]

I made the following futures bet in baseball earlier this year:

Baseball - 25401 Los Angeles Dodgers make playoffs -1500 for Game
WON Baseball - 25405 Atlanta Braves make playoffs -260 for game
Baseball - 25451 New York Yankees make playoffs -1050 for Game
WON Baseball - 25472 Texas Rangers won't make playoffs -2000 for Game

My book won't grade it as a win. They have not provided an explanation. Am I missing something? Haven't the Dodgers and Yankees made the playoffs?
Thanks.

I would chat with them. I would think so, but they could have small print that says the Wild Card game isn't the playoffs. That way you can hedge today and tomorrow

Wildcard is the playoffs.

No debate

If you’d have parlayed division winners different story. Should be a winner

I agree regarding the division winner scenario. I was concerned the Yankees may not win the division, but still make the wild card. Certainly didn't expect the same with the Dodgers, but glad I wagered it that same way.

Frustrating that the book is holding off until after the wild card games are played to grade the parlay. Leads me to believe they are taking the position that wild card does not equal playoffs. Completely self-serving and utter non-sense.

yep, it's 100% playoffs. the regular season is over and everyone is at 0-0 right now. i'd say maybe there was a division winner clause in there.. but the yankees seem super high at -1050 with tampa in the same division, and texas super low at -2000 having to battle the A's and astros.

Agree dxp. There were different odds (maybe -400 or something) for the Yankees to win the division.
