FREE PREVIEW – Top MLB Betting Trends | Mon, August 26

Hello Ballers! Featured MLB Betting Trends went 3-1-1 yesterday – Royals took a huge dump on our ‘8’ Baller Matchup Rating, but a good day otherwise. 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:

• Braves: 6-15-1 F5 O/U when Max Fried starts.
• In L30 days, Twins: 0-4-1 F5 O/U when Bailey Ober starts.
  • With both teams trending under and two strong pitchers (Max Fried: 3.57 ERA, Bailey Ober: 3.54 ERA), we’re targeting the under 4 at -115.
    
    

• Guardians: 13-5-1 O/U when Logan Allen starts (4-0 O/U as home favorites).
• In L30 days, Royals: 8-0-1 O/U vs. LHP.
  • Given these aligning trends and two shaky pitchers (Alec Marsh: 4.71 ERA, Logan Allen: 5.56 ERA) on the mound, we’re backing the over 8.5 (-110, BetRivers) in Game 2 of the doubleheader.
