A lot of money is also betting on the under. Only 33 percent of all wagers have been placed on the under, but 54 percent of the total handle has been placed on the under.

After losing the opener of a two-game series in Cleveland, expert bettors once again backed the Guardians.
Observers have tracked sharp action coming in on the Guardians, who opened as a -120 home favorite but are now priced at -129. Additionally, the hosts bring in a great deal of money. The Cleveland Browns have seen 77 percent of all moneyline bets to 99 percent of all moneyline handle as of this writing.
In addition, there is an Action Network PRO system that triggers the Guardians based on average AL teams against average NL teams. Based on that system, which is used to pick American league sides with win percentages between 47 and 54 percent, there is a historical win rate of 63 percent and a return on investment of 10 percent.
