Top MLB Trends for the Day
NY Mets vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
The NY Mets have dominated their rivalry with the Pittsburgh Pirates as of late, with a record of 18-1 in their previous 19 games. This trend suggests placing a bet on the NY Mets at a line of -162 against the Pirates, which offers a solid return on investment (ROI) of 86.9%[^1].
San Diego Padres vs. Los Angeles Angels
After a series against Colorado, the San Diego Padres have shown exceptional momentum, with a record of 22-10 in the last 32 games. Betting on the San Diego Padres at a line of -238 against the Angels could be a promising play with a ROI of 45.2%[^1].
Texas Rangers: Under the Total
In Texas Rangers home games this season, the trend of going under the total has been consistent, with a record of 16-4 and an ROI of 11.6%[^1]. This trend supports placing a bet on under in the COL-TEX game with an over/under of 8.5.
Avoiding St. Louis Cardinals on the Road
Teams that have won their last four games but are playing on the road as large underdogs (+140 or more) have struggled historically, with a record of 23-56 in the last 79 tries. This system suggests avoiding a bet on St. Louis Cardinals when they're positioned as +145 underdogs against the Philadelphia Phillies[^1].
Happy betting, and may your bets keep rolling!
