AJ's Angles:

Our very own VSiN analyst, AJ Makinen, has handpicked the top MLB betting trends and systems for May 14, 2025. Here they are:

MLB Series Betting System #5:

Road underdogs with a sweet spot between +101 and +187 in the final game of a series, particularly if they're wrapping up a road trip, have been profitable investments over the last three seasons. System Matches (PLAY ALL): MILWAUKEE (+114 at CLE), BOSTON (+185 at DET), MIAMI (+185 at CHC), KANSAS CITY (+120 at HOU)

System Match (PLAY): TORONTO (-162 vs. TB) - Backed by a powerful historical trend, teams coming off a game in which they hit 4+ home runs often prove to be winning bets.

Trend (PLAY UNDER): TEXAS (o/u at 9) – Under the total goes 18-4 (+13.60 units) in Texas home games this season, making under a strong play for the Rangers' game at home.

System Match (FADE): WASHINGTON (+142 at ATL) - Teams on extended skids like this one have shown poor results in their next game, particularly when they're playing as road underdogs.

MLB Bullpen Systems:

Our resident guru, Steve Makinen, has crafted a variety of strategies using his bullpen strength ratings. Here are some systems that might tickle your fancy:

System (PLAY ALL): MINNESOTA GAME 1, ST LOUIS GAME 1, CLEVELAND, MINNESOTA GAME 2, SAN FRANCISCO, LA YANKEES, ST LOUIS GAME 2, NY METS, HOUSTON - Teams with better bullpen ratings have been excellent investments when not considered heavy favorites of -190 or higher.

System (PLAY ALL): ST LOUIS GAME 2 (+120 at PHI), HOUSTON (-142 vs. KC) - Teams showing both a better bullpen and starting pitcher rating, with an even or worse record, have been successful plays.

System (FADE ALL): DETROIT (-225 vs. BOS), CINCINNATI (-230 vs. CWS), LA DODGERS (-285 vs. ATH) - When the team with the better-rated bullpen is listed as a heavy favorite of -190 or higher but has a winning percentage of less than 19% higher than the opponent, they've struggled in the past, but this season things are looking unusually positive.

System (PLAY ALL): NY METS (-278 vs. PIT), CHICAGO CUBS (-225 vs. MIA), TEXAS (-225 vs. COL), SAN DIEGO (-192 vs. LAA) - Big favorites with better bullpen ratings and a winning percentage of 19% or more higher than the opponent have proven to be solid choices for big paydays.

System (FADE ALL): CHICAGO CUBS (-225 vs. MIA), TEXAS (-225 vs. COL), SAN DIEGO (-192 vs. LAA) - Overpriced favorites with better bullpen ratings, but a smaller starting pitcher edge, have historically been risky bets. However, early returns this season have been surprisingly positive.

Strategies Using MLB DraftKings Betting Splits Data:

The DraftKings Betting Splits data is a fantastic resource for discerning system-based strategies. Here are a few handpicked for May 14, 2025:

System (PLAY ALL): NY METS, CINCINNATI, LA DODGERS - System #1: When 90% or more of the handle is on the home side of an MLB money line wager since the beginning of the 2023 season, this "super" majority group has been a sound investment, delivering wins 70.7% of the time and generating a solid 12.6% ROI.

System (CONSIDER PLAYING): MINNESOTA, MINNESOTA GAME 2, SAN FRANCISCO, KANSAS CITY - System #2: Smaller majority bets (51-59% range) have shown promising results, with a 53.1% win rate and a 0.6% ROI, albeit a slight dip from the overall numbers in recent seasons.
