Betting World Series Games

In any game as drama-filled as the World Series, there are going to be moments when a player takes his team and puts it on his back, carrying them to victory.

However, there are also times when players simply commit a gaffe that ends up draining their team of hope.

Let’s take a look at some of history’s biggest goats in MLB online betting World Series play history.

 

Brief Look at the 10 Biggest Goats in MLB Online Betting World Series History

Neftali Feliz | 2011: Game 6

The Texas Rangers had the St. Louis Cardinals down to their final strike in the World Series, but Feliz permitted two runs in the ninth inning to let the game go into extra innings.

The Cardinals would win in 11 innings and then take Game 7 also.

---

 

Mariano Rivera | 2001

The New York Yankees were just three outs away from back-to-back titles, but Rivera fell apart in the clincher against Arizona.

He made a throwing error, hit a batter and permitted three hits.

---

 

Tony Womack’s Double | 2001: Game 7

The Yankees were leading Arizona 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth with men on first and second with one out.

Womack’s double would bring the game level and put the winning run on third.

---

 

Jose Mesa | 1997: Game 7

The Cleveland Indians were only three outs away from winning their first World Series since 1948.

However, Mesa coughed up a 2-1 lead in the ninth inning, permitting a run when Craig Counsell smacked a sacrifice fly.

The Marlins would then prevail in extra innings, winning on Edgar Renteria’s RBI single in the 11th inning.

---

 

Edgar Renteria’s Single | 1997: Game 7

It was the bottom of the 11th inning as Florida looked to win its first World Series ever, at the expense of the Cleveland Indians.

The bases were loaded with two outs for Edgar Renteria.

---

 

Mitch Williams | 1993: Game 5

The Phillies’ closer came in to protect a 6-5 lead in Game 5, but instead he gave up a bomb to Joe Carter to clinch the series for Toronto.

---

 

Sid Bream’s GIDP | 1991: Game 7

It was the top of the eighth inning in Game 7 between the Minnesota Twins and the Atlanta Braves.

This is also the half-inning when Lonnie Smith was fooled into thinking that Chuck Knoblauch had snagged Terry Pendleton’s hit – which turned into a double – and ended up at third instead of putting the Braves up 1-0.

However, there were still second and third with nobody out.

Then, Ron Gant grounded to first while the runners held.

Morris then walked David Justice intentionally to bring slow Sid Bream up.

Then, Bream hit into an inning-ending double play.

The game stayed tied at zero, and the Twins would prevail 1-0 in the tenth:

---

 

Lonnie Smith | 1991: Game 7

It was Game 7…Braves against Twins.

Jack Morris was on the mound, in the midst of a 10-inning complete game gem that brought the 1991 title to the Twin Cities.

However, Lonnie Smith made a major baserunning blunder.

Terry Pendleton hit a double that should have easily scored Smith.

However, instead of paying attention to his third-base coach, he got fooled by Twins second baseman Chuck Knoblauch and stopped at third base.

That run might have given Atlanta the run they needed to win the game.

---

 

Kirk Gibson’s Walk-Off Home Run | 1988: Game 1

The score was 4-3, Oakland, when Kirk Gibson limped to the plate to pinch-hit.

There was a man on second, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth.

Then this happened.

It’s still the only walkoff home run in playoff history that happened when a team was down to its last out.

---

 

Bill Buckner | 1986: Game 6

Mookie Wilson’s ground ball…says it all.

---

 

George Frazier | 1981, three games

George Frazier is one of only two pitchers to lose three games in a World Series.

His ERA in the 1981 Series was an unsightly 17.18.

Who’s the other pitcher to get this “honor”? Lefty Williams…from the 1919 Black Sox.

---

 

Joe Morgan’s Single | 1975: Game 7

It was the top of the ninth with two outs and men on first and third.

Joe Morgan would single to break a 3-3 tie and end up on second on the throw.

---

 

Bill Mazeroski’s Homer | 1960: Game 7

This is the blast that got Bill Mazeroski into the Hall of Fame, as his Pirates and the Yankees sat level in the bottom of the ninth inning.

---

 

Yogi Berra’s Three-Run Homer | 1960: Game 7

The Pirates were up on the Yankees, 4-2, in the top of the sixth inning.

Then Yogi Berra came to the plate with men on first and third with one out.

Check out what he did.

---

 

Hal Smith | 1960: Game 7

This was in the same game as Bill Mazeroski’s blast, but it actually helped the Pirates more, because it brought them back from a deficit.

He turned a deficit into a lead in the eighth inning – and this hit came from a backup catcher in his only at-bat of the game.

---

 

The Shot Heard Round the World | 1951 Pennant Tiebreaker

This wasn’t technically a World Series moment, but in an era when the Series was the only round of the playoffs, this blast in the pennant tiebreaker surely counts.

Bobby Thomson came up in the bottom of the ninth with one out and men on second and third, his Giants down 4-2 to the Brooklyn Dodgers.

---

 

Cookie Lavagetto’s Double | 1947: Game 4

Bill Bevens, the Yankee pitcher, had not permitted any hits through eight innings, but he had yielded eight walks, one of them turning into a run.

In the bottom of the ninth, though, the Yankees led 2-1 until Lavagetto came to the plate for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

---

 

Babe Ruth | 1926: Game 7

Ruth was the tying run on first base with two outs in the ninth inning.

Bob Meusel was next up for the Yankees, against Pete Alexander with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Babe tried to swipe second, though, and was thrown out on the play, bringing the World Series to an end when he was ignominiously tagged at second.

---

 

George Peckinpaugh | 1925

This Washington Senators shortstop was a stellar defensive shortstop, but he would make eight errors in the 1925 Fall Classic, with two happening in Game 7, giving the Pittsburgh Pirates four unearned runs..and a world championship.

---

 

Fred Snodgrass | 1912: Game 8

Yes: Game 8.

Originally, the World Series was a best-of-nine series, so there were four World Series to go eight games.

However, in 1912, the World Series had already been shortened to a best-of-seven affair.

Game 5 ended in a tie, though, because of darkness.

In this Game 8, center fielder Fred Snodgrass dropped an easy fly ball by the Boston Red Sox that paved the way for two unearned runs, as they rolled past the New York Giants.
