What the data says

Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago Cubs has a modest split worth noting on the totals market. 68% of bets are on Over 6.5, with 55% of dollars on the same side — a 13-point gap. It's a small edge, not a top opportunity, but it's a directional signal in the same direction as a real sharp-money tell.

Splits in the 10 to 15-point range are common — most games on most nights land in this band. It's not nothing, and it's not enough on its own to override the price. The money side here is Under 6.5 if the gap matters. The public side is the one the line is built around. Most professional bettors don't act on a split this size in isolation; they use it as one input among several.
