Sharps Betting Cubs-Padres, 3 Other Sunday MLB Games

- The Toronto Blue Jays have dipped from +140 to +131 vs. the Red Sox, despite the overwhelming majority of bets being on Boston.
- Sharp bettors have been all over the Pirates-Brewers series, which is continuing on Sunday.
Sharp bettors went 2-1 Saturday, winning a bit over a unit thanks to the plus money they took with Pittsburgh.
Today they're hammering four spots — including the Pittsburgh matchup again — as they look to build off yesterday's wins.
Before that, though, here are some terms you should know.
Steam Move: Sudden, drastic and uniform line movement across the market caused by an overload of sharp action from respected players.
Reverse Line Movement: When the betting line moves in the opposite direction of the betting percentages. It’s a top smart money indicator.
Juice: The tax or commission that bettors must pay the sportsbook in order for them to accept your wager.
