What the data says

Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Dodgers shows a meaningful bet/money divergence on the totals market — not the biggest split on the slate, but worth a look. 86% of bets are on Over 8 while only 70% of dollars are on the same side — a 16-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 Under 8 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 Under 8, and the price reflects what the books think of that lean.

Worth noting, not worth chasing alone. Pair it with the broader slate context if you're going to use it. See how we calculate splits →.
