Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals shows a meaningful bet/money divergence on the totals market — not the biggest split on the slate, but worth a look. 55% of bets are on Under 8.5 while only 36% of dollars are on the same side — a 19-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 Over 8.5 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 Over 8.5, and the price reflects what the books think of that lean.
