What the data says

Pittsburgh Pirates at New York Yankees shows a meaningful bet/money divergence on the moneyline market — not the biggest split on the slate, but worth a look. 61% of bets are on New York Yankees while only 41% of dollars are on the same side — a 20-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 Pittsburgh Pirates 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 Pittsburgh Pirates, 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 →.

Frequently asked questions

What is a meaningful bet% / money% gap?

A 10-point gap is the threshold we treat as noise vs. signal. 15+ points is meaningful — it usually means the average bet on the money side is materially larger than on the public side.

When does the public usually win?

Public favorites still win plenty of games — they are usually the better team. Where the public underperforms is against the spread on big-name teams in nationally televised games.

How often does the team with more money% cover?

Sharp money is wagering activity from sophisticated, high-volume bettors. It shows up as a money percentage that exceeds the bet percentage on the same side — bigger checks per ticket on the contrarian view. See our methodology →
