Washington Nationals vs. St. Louis Cardinals Sharp Report
Anibal Sanchez (11-8, 3.85 ERA) vs. Miles Mikolas (9-14, 4.16 ERA)
St. Louis opened as a -120 favorite and is garnering 60% of all moneyline tickets. While that does give us some information, what's truly telling is where the majority of money is landing.
Those 60% of bets make up 83% of dollars wagered. In addition, Sports Insights' Bet Signals triggered a Steam Move on the Cardinals, revealing that large wagers from professional bettors are responsible for the movement to -135.
When it comes to the total, SI Bet Signals are all we need to determine the opinions of sharps.
A whopping five sharp money indicators have been reported on the under, so it's no surprise to see this number drop from an opener of 8.5 to 8.
In fact, the under action has been so one-sided that a handful of books have already adjusted the total another half-run to 7.5.
