Braves vs Phillies Prediction, Betting Analysis
This system targets Unders in regular season MLB series after both teams had low-scoring performances in the previous game.
When both the home and visiting teams have scored 0–2 runs in the prior game, the following game is often priced based on regression assumptions.
However, many of these games continue to stay under the total due to momentum, fatigue, or strong pitching matchups.
Limiting to games 2+ in a series helps isolate these carryover effects and remove opening-game volatility.
Pick: Under 7.5
