AJ's Angles
Check out these top MLB betting trends handpicked by VSiN analyst AJ Makinen for May 12, 2025:
Trend: Milwaukee has been on a roll as a road underdog when wrapping up a road trip, going 37-27 for +47.63 units and a 19.4% ROI over the last three seasons! Take 'em as a road dog once again, this time against Cleveland (+114).
Trend Match (PLAY ALL): Don't hesitate on Boston (+155), Tampa Bay (+190), Philly (+115), and Arizona (+135). These teams have a history of winning when presenting an underdog opportunity against divisional opponents.
MLB Series Betting System #5: Road underdogs in the final game of a series have dominated, going 284-320 for +72.49 units and a 12% ROI over the last three seasons. This trend continues with teams like Milwaukee (+114), Boston (+155), Miami (+185), and Kansas City (+120).
Teams on Losing Streaks Against Divisional Opponents: Avoid wagers on teams with losing streaks of seven games or more facing divisional foes, as they've only managed to go 33-68 in their last 101 tries (-20.71 units, ROI: -20.5%). This system suggests fading teams like Colorado (+225) in their match against San Diego.
Steve Makinen Bullpen Systems
Here are the best MLB betting systems based on Steve Makinen's renowned bullpen strength ratings:
The Quickest Way to Play the Bullpen System: Don't let the favorites get the best of you! Teams with an edge in bullpen strength that aren't heavy favorites (-190 or higher) or heavy favorites with a winning percentage ≥ 19% and a starting pitcher edge ≥ 20 have been golden this season, going 284-233 for +12.81 units and a 4.2% ROI. On May 12, check out teams like New York Mets, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Detroit, Kansas City, Houston, San Diego, New York Yankees, Baltimore, Toronto, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Cleveland.
Back Teams with Better Bullpen and Starting Pitcher Ratings Despite Even or Worse Records: The underdogs may beSB underdogs, but their superior bullpen and starting pitching have led them to a 62-31 record for +23.55 units and a 25.3% ROI this season. Don't overlook Tampa Bay (-155) against the Rays, or Baltimore (-142) against LA Angels.
