Thirteen games fill out today’s Major League Baseball schedule, but three have caught the interest of expert bettors.
All the information about to be presented is drawn from the Action Network PRO Report, which provides betting percentages and five “signals” — sharp money, big money, PRO systems, model edge and expert picks — that help distinguish certain plays.
Today’s report sees three sides — two of which are underdogs — trigger at least three of the above signals. Without further delay, here are the report’s recommendations.
Expert MLB predictions, picks today
Game #1 – Cincinnati Reds at New York Yankees, 7:05 p.m. ET
There’s slight disagreement on this contest, but a majority of the signals are hitting the Reds.
It’s worth noting that sharp action has come in on the Yankees, which opened as a consensus -165 favorite in the Bronx, but three of the four possible remaining signals go in the Reds direction. First, big money bettors are getting behind the Reds — as of this writing, they’ve seen only 21 percent of all bets against 52 percent of the total handle.
Additionally, one Action Network PRO system — Contrarian Betting Against Good Teams — identifies Cincinnati. That system, which looks for teams receiving less than 35 percent of bets on a small losing streak, has a 41 percent historical winning percentage and 10 percent return on investment.
Finally, one top Action Network MLB expert is backing the Reds to round out the three signals in their direction.
