In one of the most improbable and memorable single nights in the history of MLB betting, both the Tampa Bay Rays and St. Louis Cardinals managed to complete the most incredible comebacks in the history of the Wild Card races. Down more than nine games at the beginning of September, and trailing by seven against the powerful New York Yankees, Tampa Bay somehow managed to rally back for an 8-7 win capped off by a walk off home run in the bottom of the 12^th, and in a few instances they had stepped over the Red Sox, who blew a 3-2 ninth inning lead with two outs. Meanwhile, in the National League it was the Cardinals that blew away the lowly Houston Astros 8-0, while the Atlanta Braves unraveled in a 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in 13 innings. That has set the stage for two of the most unlikely storylines heading in to the sports betting postseason, after the Rays and Cardinals played like it was the playoffs for nearly the entire month of September.

The momentum that comes with such an improbable comeback should provide both teams with a boost heading in to the postseason, with Tampa Bay scheduled to meet the defending AL Champion Texas Rangers, and St. Louis ready to travel to face the powerful Philadelphia Phillies. While it will be difficult for either team to overcome again in the postseason against such tough opponents, the confidence that they have garnered through the month of September should help them along as they prepare for their next fishing games beginning on Friday.
