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.

The featured trends went 1-0-1 yesterday, and the matchups with strong Baller Matchup Ratings all came through (Braves, Giants). I am not counting the Astros as I went out of my way to not endorse them at -405, but they won and covered, nonetheless. Back on the winning track – let’s keep it going!

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 Trends:

  • Giants: 11-21-1 O/U as home favorites vs. RHP
  • In L30 days, White Sox: 0-6 O/U when Jonathan Cannon starts
  • In L30 days, White Sox: 0-5 O/U vs. LHP
    • These trends point towards an under in the pitchers’ park at AT&T Park in San Francisco. With the Chicago White Sox sporting the worst offense in the league, we’re not expecting many runs. We’re favoring the Under 8 (-115, DraftKings).



Here are the rest of today’s trends:


Arizona Diamondbacks @ Miami Marlins

  • No starting pitchers announced and thus, no interesting trends to note at the moment.


Cincinnati Reds @ Toronto Blue Jays

  • Blue Jays: 18-6 O/U when Kevin Gausman starts.


Baltimore Orioles @ New York Mets

  • Mets: 10-3 ML when David Peterson starts.
  • Mets: 32-15 NRFI as home favorites.
  • Orioles: 11-20-2 F5 O/U vs. LHP.

  • Pirates: 32-15 NRFI as road underdogs.


Boston Red Sox @ Houston Astros

  • Yusei Kikuchi’s teams are 0-10 RL (-1.5) as home favorites.
