The Mississippi River is accepted as one of the dividing lines of the United States.
Resolves YES for any of the following teams winning the World Series in 2025:
Atlanta Braves
Baltimore Orioles
Boston Red Sox
Chicago Cubs
Chicago White Sox
Cincinnati Reds
Cleveland Guardians
Detroit Tigers
Miami Marlins
Milwaukee Brewers
New York Mets
New York Yankees
Philadelphia Phillies
Pittsburgh Pirates
Tampa Bay Rays
Toronto Blue Jays
Washington Nationals
The Cardinals and Twins were tricky to place because St. Louis and Minneapolis are both on the river. However, both home parks are situated west of the river, so they are considered part of the western side of the league for this market.
Update 10/11:
Of the 8 teams remaining in the playoffs, only the Los Angeles Dodgers and Seattle Mariners remain as the west-of-the-Mississippi teams. Will resolve YES for any of the following teams winning the World Series:
Toronto Blue Jays
Milwaukee Brewers
Chicago Cubs
Odds currently stand at 60%, but after either the Cubs or the Brewers win tonight, it’ll be full 50/50 and remain that way through the LCS and potentially the World Series unless the series ends up Mariners/Dodgers.
