Atlanta Braves vs Texas Rangers MLB Preview
Bryce Elder is expected to take over the starting pitching role for the Braves, while Jack Leiter is expected to do so for the Rangers.
This system targets Sunday MLB games where the home team is coming off 1–2 consecutive overs, suggesting recent offensive outperformance or inflated totals.
The theory is that on Sundays — often the final game of a series and an early start — teams may rest key hitters, lineups can be inconsistent, and pitchers often perform better against lineups they’ve already seen.
With an opening total set at 9, the line is high enough to offer under value when offensive regression is likely.
Betting the under in these specific setups has historically yielded a positive ROI over time.
