What the data says

Cincinnati Reds at St. Louis Cardinals is one of the slate's lopsided public plays. 93% of the bet count on the totals market is sitting on Over 9 — the kind of one-way lean that usually shows up on a name-brand team in a high-profile primetime slot, not a coin-flip matchup.

The money side tells a slightly different story: 92% of dollars on Over 9 versus 93% of tickets. That's a small gap by itself, but in the context of a 93% public bet count, even a few points of money lag suggests the average bet on Under 9 is materially larger. Books price these games knowing the public is coming — the line builds in the lean — which is why heavy public favorites historically underperform their implied win rate against the spread.
