Today we have a loaded midweek slate of MLB action on tap with 15 games to choose from<\/a>. Let\u2019s examine where smart money is leaning for a trio of matchups using our VSiN MLB Betting Splits<\/a>, which are updated every 5 minutes and come directly from DraftKings and Circa Sports.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Phillies (65-48) have taken the first two games of this Interleague series, dominating the opener 13-3 as -200 home favorites and then winning again yesterday 5-0 as -145 home favorites. <\/p>\n

In this early afternoon series finale, the Orioles (51-63) hand the ball to lefty Trevor Rogers (4-2, 1.44 ERA) and the Phillies counter with fellow southpaw Ranger Suarez (8-4, 2.68 ERA).<\/p>\n

This line opened with Philadelphia listed as a -150 home favorite and Baltimore a +130 road dog.<\/p>\n

Sharps have pounced on the Phillies to complete the sweep, steaming Philadelphia up from -150 to -180.<\/p>\n

At Circa, the Phillies are taking in 84% of moneyline bets and a whopping 99% of moneyline dollars, a notable \u201clow bets, higher dollars\u201d sharp split and further evidence of the wiseguy desert wagers laying the chalk with the home favorite. <\/p>\n

Favorites off a win with a winning record receiving at least 5-cents of line movement against a team who made the playoffs the previous season are 135-62 (69%) with a 7% ROI this season. Home favorites who made the playoffs the previous season playing an opponent who also made the playoffs the previous season are 105-62 (63%) with a 6% ROI. <\/p>\n

The Phillies are 37-13 (74%) with a 14% ROI as a home favorite with a line move in their direction, 2nd best in MLB. <\/p>\n

Philadelphia has correlative betting value as a favorite in a low total game (7.5), with the fewer amount of expected runs scored more likely to come from the \u201cbetter\u201d team who is expected to win. <\/p>\n

The Phillies have the more productive bats, hitting .255 with 534 runs scored compared to the Orioles hitting .242 with 492 runs scored. <\/p>\n

Philadelphia is hitting .250 against lefties (9th best in MLB). Baltimore is hitting .227 against southpaws (23rd). <\/p>\n

The Phillies are 37-20 at home. The Orioles are 24-36 on the road. <\/p>\n

This is the rubber match of a three-game series.<\/p>\n

The Tigers (66-49) won the opener 6-3, taking care of business as -185 home favorites. Then the Twins (53-60) bounced back with a 6-3 win yesterday, cashing as +120 road dogs.<\/p>\n

In this afternoon\u2019s series finale, the Twins send out righty Pierson Ohl (0-2, 7.50 ERA) and the Tigers go with fellow righty Jack Flaherty (6-10, 4.36 ERA).<\/p>\n

This line opened with Detroit listed as a -130 home favorite and Minnesota a +110 road dog. <\/p>\n

Initially, the Twins starter was undecided. Once it was announced Ohl would start on three days rest, we saw a big adjustment toward the Tigers -130 to -170. Then pros pounced the Tigers even harder up to -200.<\/p>\n

At DraftKings, the Tigers are receiving 85% of moneyline bets and 95% of moneylien dollars. At Circa, Detroit is taking in 79% of moneyline bets and 99% of moneyline dollars.

The Tigers are 38-19 (67%) with a 7% ROI as a home favorite with a line move in their direction, 4th best in MLB. Detroit is 18-6 (75%) with a 15% ROI as a home favorite against sub .500 teams. <\/p>\n

The Tigers have the superior offense, hitting .250 with 147 homers and 552 runs scored compared to the Twins hitting .241 with 131 homers and 471 runs scored. <\/p>\n

Flaherty has only allowed 1 earned run in his last two starts, spanning 12 innings. He is 3-1 with a 2.76 ERA in day games. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ohl is making his 3rd career appearance and has given up 5 earned runs in 6 innings pitched. <\/p>\n

The Tigers are 37-22 at home. The Twins are 23-26 on the road. <\/p>\n

The Guardians (58-55) have taken the first two games of this three-game series, winning the opener 7-6 in extra innings as +165 road dogs and then winning again yesterday 3-2 as +135 road dogs.<\/p>\n

In this afternoon\u2019s series finale, the Guardians tap righty Gavin Williams (6-4, 3.33 ERA) and the Mets (63-51) start lefty David Peterson (7-4, 2.83 ERA).<\/p>\n

This line opened with New York listed as a -165 home favorite and Cleveland a +150 road dog.<\/p>\n

Sharps are banking on the Mets to earn a victory and avoid the sweep, steaming New York up from -165 to -180. <\/p>\n

At DraftKings, the Mets are taking in 74% of moneyline bets and 81% of moneyline dollars. At Circa, New York is receiving 53% of moneyline bets and 97% of moneyline dollars. Both books are showing a wiseguy \u201clow bets, higher dollars\u201d bet discrepancy in favor of the home chalk.<\/p>\n
