Rays vs Giants Prediction, Betting Analysis

This system targets MLB regular season games where both teams are coming off low-scoring performances (0 to 2 runs scored in their previous game) within the same series.

These matchups tend to reflect strong pitching or cold offenses, and the market may not adjust the total downward enough in time.

This strategy filters for more recent seasons to reflect current scoring environments and pitcher usage trends.

Betting the under in these situations has shown consistent short-term profitability.
