Astros vs. Yankees Game 5 Sharp Report
Since last night's game sailed over the total, it's not all that surprising to see public bettors once again expecting a higher-scoring game.
Sixty-three percent of bets and 60% of dollars are currently on the over, yet this line has dropped from the opener of 8 to 7.5 across the market thanks to plenty of action from respected bettors.
Sports Insights' Bet Signals have triggered a Steam Move on the under, citing market-moving action driving this total down.
It's important to note that this signal came at under 8, meaning sharps have yet to take a position at the current number of 7.5.
