Today, Action PRO models pinged three savvy over/under picks to consider – and look out for the wind.


MLB Over/Under Picks for 5/31 Using Weather

White Sox vs. Orioles Pick for Saturday

Our first pick comes from the White Sox/Orioles game, recommending the under 9 total.

This aligns with Director of Research Evan Abrams' "Weather Watch Unders" model, specifically designed for totals bettors who recognize how environmental factors subtly influence run scoring.

The system zeroes in on games with moderate to strong winds—today’s average wind speed is 14 mph left to right—especially when winds blow in or cross-field, combined with mild to cool temperatures. This combination typically suppresses fly balls and overall scoring. When the total opens high but falls before game time, it reflects sharp money reacting to weather cues.

Brewers vs. Phillies Pick for Saturday

Next, for Phillies vs. Brewers, we again recommend the under 8, applying the same Weather Watch theory. Winds are blowing 11 mph from left to right, adding another layer of run suppression.

PRO Pick: Brewers vs. Phillies Under


Dodgers vs. Yankees Pick for Saturday

Finally, in the Dodgers vs. Yankees matchup, despite the wind blowing out, the pick is under 9.5, based on Abrams' “Interleague Under Edge” system.

Targeting interleague games featuring strong teams with totals between 7 and 10, this model capitalizes on teams’ unfamiliarity with opposing pitchers and lineups, settled pitching rotations later in the season, and favored home teams with reliable bullpens. This approach has cashed 65% this season, reflecting profitable unders in tightly contested matchups where run production is constrained.
