Bet Labs' Brewers vs Dodgers Best Bet: System Suggests Under
By Bet Labs
This system targets unders in MLB series games (Game 2 or later) in which both teams have winning records as that suggests quality pitching and competitive matchups.
However, when public betting leans toward the over — as many likely expect fireworks between top teams — contrarian value on the under is created. By capitalizing on low public support for the under (≤35%), this system fades public perception in favor of market inefficiencies, especially when bettors overestimate offensive output late in a series.
Overall, this system is 1400-1192-111 (54%) and has generated a 5% ROI. This season, the system has generated a 1% ROI and has cashed 53% of its picks (168-149-11).
Pick: Under 7.5 (+100)
Tony Sartori's Brewers vs Dodgers Best Bet: Back LA at Home
By Tony Sartori
A key pitching disparity in this matchup is that, unlike Jose Quintana, Tyler Glasnow has dominated Thursday’s opponent. In their two meetings this season, Glasnow posted a 0.82 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP against Milwaukee.
Milwaukee has struggled mightily against Dodgers' starters in this series, a trend likely to continue in Game 3. Through 79 combined plate appearances against Glasnow, this current Brewers roster owns a mere .141 batting average, .282 slugging percentage and .228 wOBA.
Pick: Dodgers -1.5 (+110)
Sean Paul's Blue Jays vs Mariners Best Bet: Back Bats to Stay Hot
By Sean Paul
The total is low here.
The over hit in two of the first three games and although hitting typically goes to die in Seattle, these offenses are elite, and both pitchers are pretty mediocre.
I'd be surprised if there aren't nine runs scored here.
Max Scherzer and Luis Castillo will have to provide some length, although the leash on Scherzer is probably a bit tighter.
Either way, I like the over.
