Monday’s Major League Baseball slate features only 10 games, but expert bettors are still managing to find opportunities.
The Action Network PRO Report designates five factors — sharp money, big money, PRO systems, model edge and expert picks — to help distinguish certain plays from others available.
Today’s report sees one side and two totals trigger at least three of the above signals. So, without further delay, here are the report’s recommendations.

Max Scherzer APGame #2 – New York Mets at Atlanta Braves, 7:20 p.m. ET
