The field has been set for the Major League Baseball playoffs and you'd be hard-pressed to find a more dramatic end to the baseball season, as both Tampa Bay and St. Louis made up ground down the stretch and clinched playoff spots on the last day of the regular season.

The playoffs begin with the divisional series, a best 3-out-of-5 series that determines who plays in the American and National League Championship Series.
In this article, we'll look at betting trends in the divisional series games, both from a long-term perspective, as well as the short term.
