What the data says

New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies is one of the strongest sharp-money signals on tonight's MLB slate. On the moneyline market, 81% of bets are on Philadelphia Phillies but only 51% of the dollars — a 30-point gap between bet count and money share that ranks among the largest divergences in the slate.

That gap is the cleanest sharp-money tell we have. When the bet count and dollar share point in different directions, the dollars are coming from fewer, larger checks — the kind of bets that distinguish high-volume, professional action from the public crowd. Books rarely give back this much line value on a casual mistake; the price you're seeing is what the market thinks of the divergence in real time.

None of this is a pick. It's where the money is landing — you decide what to do with it. See how we calculate splits →.

Frequently asked questions

What is sharp money?

What is a meaningful bet% / money% gap?
