What the data says

Baltimore Orioles at Washington Nationals shows a meaningful bet/money divergence on the spread market — not the biggest split on the slate, but worth a look. 72% of bets are on Baltimore Orioles -1.5 while only 43% of dollars are on the same side — a 29-point gap.

A 10 to 20-point gap is the band where the data starts to mean something but doesn't yet scream. It usually means a handful of larger bets landed on Washington Nationals +1.5 without the public catching on yet, or the public is leaning on a side that the market doesn't fully respect. Either way, the money side here is Washington Nationals +1.5, and the price reflects what the books think of that lean.
