Blackpool took maximum points from their last four games to finish third, but Sky Bet has the two sides as equal second favourites to gain promotion to the Championship.
The bookmaker has Sunderland as the team to beat, despite the Black Cats taking just seven points from their final nine matches of the campaign.
Lee Johnson's side finished fourth, above Lincoln City on goal difference, and visit Sincil Bank next Wednesday ahead of the return leg three days later.
Lincoln are outsiders, according to Sky Bet, after winning just one of their last five matches of the season.
Sky Bet's odds to win League One play-offs (as of 10.30am today):
- Sunderland 13/8
- Blackpool 11/4
- Oxford United 11/4
- Lincoln City 10/3
