The Leagues
MLB — 162 Games, One Trophy
Thirty teams. One hundred and sixty-two regular-season games each. 2,430 games before the Wild Card round even tips. The longest regular season in any major sport, designed to grind out the schedule luck and surface the genuinely better team across six months of play. The 162-game schedule is also why MLB carries the deepest single-game data depth in pro sport — every pitch tracked, every launch angle logged, every spin rate published. Lucky Rebel runs spread (runline), moneyline, totals, F5, alternate run lines and totals, the full player props board on every starter and hitter, anytime home run, pitcher strikeouts, hits Over/Under, total bases, plus daily specials and live in-play pricing pitch-by-pitch.
The MLB Postseason — Wild Card to World Series
Twelve teams into October. Six in each league. The top two division winners in each league earn first-round byes; the other four play a best-of-three Wild Card round at the higher-seeded home park. The Division Series is best-of-five; the League Championship Series is best-of-seven; the World Series is best-of-seven across late October and into early November. Postseason baseball is different baseball — bullpens get shortened, starting rotations compress to three or four arms, and bench depth becomes the deciding factor in extra innings. Lucky Rebel runs full markets on every postseason game plus series prices (which team wins the series and in how many games), exact series score, and the full postseason player props book.
NCAA & The College World Series
Division I College Baseball runs across 300+ programs from late February through to the College World Series in Omaha every June. The 64-team NCAA tournament feeds through Regionals (16 four-team double-elimination brackets) and Super Regionals (best-of-three) into the eight-team College World Series. SEC, ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12 programs dominate the seeding rounds. Lucky Rebel runs full markets on every D1 game across the spring, the conference tournaments in May, and the full NCAA tournament bracket. The College World Series outright opens in the regular season and pays the longest odds on conference dark horses before Selection Monday in late May narrows the field.
The World Baseball Classic & International Baseball
The WBC runs every four years in March with the 20-nation field — Japan, Dominican Republic, USA, Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Korea and the rest. Japan won the most recent edition with Shohei Ohtani striking Mike Trout out to end the final. The tournament format runs four pools through a single round-robin into a knockout quarter-final and semi-final bracket, with the final at LoanDepot Park in Miami. Lucky Rebel runs full WBC markets when the cycle hits. NPB in Japan runs March through October with the Climax Series and the Japan Series. KBO in Korea runs a similar calendar with the Korean Series. The Caribbean Series in February gathers the winter-league champions from the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the rest.
