Game 2
Some clear morning sharp action, which has been brought to light in part by a bet-vs.-money discrepancy, has landed on the Rays. And this line is falling because of it.
Opening Rays numbers were as high as the low +140s. Now, Tampa is being found at a consensus of +125.
Sharps have been the driving force in that significant move, as confirmed by two Sports Insights Bet Signals in the form of steam moves.
In this case, two such moves were triggered on Tampa at +138 and +133, the latter coming just after 11:15 a.m. ET.
Further confirming the Rays to be the sharp side, their 59% early backing has generated 83% of the money thus far, meaning bigger bets are landing on the underdogs. And while big bets can technically come from anyone, they’re far more likely to come from professional bettors over a large sample. So a discrepancy such as this one certainly serves as another hint toward the pros’ pick.
