Hello Ballers – welcome to today’s top MLB Betting Trends! 3-2 yesterday with the featured trends – although the juice on the Twins and Phillies ate away at a lot of the profits.
Our NFL Team Previews and Matchup Pages are now live! Additionally, our Week 1 NFL Newsletter, packed with stats, trends, angles, and a few in-depth breakdowns, will be released later today. Stay tuned!
I’ve mentioned before that trends don’t always equate to a bet, but here are a few that are most compelling to me:
Featured MLB Betting Trends:
- Twins: Baller Matchup Rating of ‘6’.
- Twins: 16-7 ML vs. road favorites vs. RHP.
- While the line is close to a pick’em, making it difficult to consider the Twins strong favorites, their Baller Matchup Rating of 6 gives us confidence. We’re backing the Twins at ML -110.
