The initial post received 5779 sats in zaps so that is the current prize pool. I will update the prize pool with every post. Remember all sats zapped to MLB survivor pool posts from this account will be added to the prize pool.
Pick submissions for week 1 (Games occurring April 1 through 7) are now open. Reply to this post with your selected team to lock in your pick.
Good Luck!
We may want to include a link back to original post in each future weeks post.

I am sure I will be re-reading the rules a few times.
Good point. I will do that next time.
Don't forget to make a pick.

Astros
Jays in fine form against the Astros tonight. 0 hit through 7 innings.
I'm breaking out an old man expression. Astros are a day late and a dollar short.
Good for your start to the pool week though.
Astros are playing the blue jays and rangers next week. Bold.
I feel like it's more of a crapshoot than nfl
Definitely. That's why I put in the 3 strikes and you are out rule. Otherwise the pool would probably only go a couple weeks.

Congrats to all my fellow Red Sox pickers ( @needcreations_,@Jer, @Bell_curve,@grayruby )
It was a more bet against the A’s approach for me but I will take it.
Just a reminder. Waiting on picks from. You guys have until Monday at 12pm est @wumbo @Turdinthepunchbowl @Cje95 @BTC_Bellzer

Using the best team in the AL already. Bold or you are confident the rest of us won't be around long. Haha
yeah, bit of a different strategy on this one for sure. if she goes anywhere near as deep as the nfl survivor pool went, i'm probably boned.

Using the best team in baseball the first week of the pool is an interesting strategy.
Oh shit! Are the Dodgers good?
Odds To Win MLB - World Series 2024 Team Odds LA Dodgers +400 Atlanta Braves +450 Houston Astros +900 NY Yankees +900 Philadelphia Phillies +1100 Texas Rangers +1100 Baltimore Orioles +1400 Toronto Blue Jays +1500 NY Mets +2200 Seattle Mariners +2200
I saw they had the best odds for top regular season record, too, which is why I picked them.
I figured injuries and other unexpected stuff would shake up the power rankings throughout the year, so I may as well take them while they're on top.

Did you pick the mediocre at best red sox because they are playing the A's and Angels as well?
Angels usually lose to Red Sox. Former angels fan here
My son is an Angels fan. Angels is the first game he went to when he was 4. My wife is from LA area. We spent the first four years of my son's life travelling back and forth between LA and Toronto until we decided to settle in Toronto permanently so I could focus on my business. My son cheers for the Blue Jays now too but still has a soft spot for his first team.
Every year I hope the Angels are going to be a playoff contender but they are always just a mess.
Interesting, thanks for sharing
The Angels are a mess despite having two generational players in Trout and Ohtani
Yes it is too bad it seems they wasted Trout's prime and the years with Trout and Ohtani.
