Summary
In this episode of The Spread Zone, Scott Rizzuto, Tim McKernan, and Anthony Stalter build out a full 2026 MLB futures card from the ground up — breaking down division winners, pennant picks, World Series anchors, value plays, long-shot sprinkles, MVP bets, Rookie of the Year targets, and Cy Young candidates. With spring training just underway, the guys debate whether to back favorites like the Dodgers and Yankees or chase payout-heavy value on teams like the Mets, Mariners, Royals, and Tigers. Along the way, they discuss how heartbreaking World Series losses affect the following season, where true betting value actually exists on the board, and how to balance chalk with calculated risk. It’s a strategic look at how to approach MLB futures — not just who to pick, but how to build a smart, structured card before the season even starts. The Spread Zone is presented by FanDuel Sportsbook.

| 0:51.4 | When we bought our house back in 2018, yeah, 2018, the deck was in disrepair. And we're trying to put band-aids on it. Like the railings were loose. We have to tell people, please, for your health and safety, don't lean against the rail because you could plummet to your death. So we eventually had to do it. We had a bunch of bullets. We had to call on Chesville vets a deck, and they did a tear down of the old deck and put up a gorgeous new deck. They used their own crews. They used their own tools. We did the underdecking, we did the concrete patio. |
