Guardians vs White Sox Prediction, Betting Analysis
The "Steam Unders with Low OU Support" system identifies profitable MLB betting opportunities by targeting games where sharp money drives totals lower, but public bettors still favor the over. This strategy focuses on regular-season matchups from 2019 to 2025 with closing totals between 8 and 10 runs, prime scoring ranges where volatility often creates value.
It pinpoints games where the total drops significantly from open to close, signaling respected action on the under, even as only a small percentage of bets (typically under 30%) support that side. This discrepancy between betting volume and ticket count reveals market inefficiencies and exploitable edges.
To refine the signal, the system includes only games played in mild to warm weather, filtering out those impacted by extreme temperatures. It also requires both teams to show recent scoring patterns close to the posted total, avoiding misleading trends driven by outlier performances.
By isolating realistic scoring environments where smart money quietly leans under and public interest is misaligned, this system has delivered a 15% ROI since 2019. The result: high-value unders in overlooked spots shaped by sharp action, not hype.
