Bet Labs' Cubs vs Phillies Best Bet: Fade Both Offenses
By Bet Labs
Our "Unders with Soft Starters and Neutral Winds" system has generated a 15% ROI lifetime with a 465-312-38 (60%) record. This season, it is 19-5-1 (79%) and has produced a stunning 50% ROI.
This system targets unders in regular-season MLB games in which softer home starting pitchers (pitchers with low strikeout rates and moderate WHIPs) are on the mound in games three or four of a series. By this point in the series, hitters have seen multiple arms and scouting reports are sharper, yet scoring remains muted when the matchup lacks overpowering velocity and winds remain neutral.
The setup avoids exaggerated run environments by filtering out strong directional wind influence, which keeps offensive surges in check. With the home team in the middle of the season grind and winning at a modest clip, the market may overlook how often these quiet conditions lead to slower-paced, low-scoring outcomes.
