St. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh Pirates looks like a balanced market right now. The bet count and the money share are tracking close together on the moneyline market — 75% of bets and 74% of dollars on Pittsburgh Pirates, a 1-point gap that doesn't clear the threshold we treat as meaningful.
Even splits are the default state for most games on most nights. The public and the dollars agree that the line is roughly fair. There's no clean directional signal here — nothing to act on from a splits-only perspective. That doesn't make the game unpriced or uninteresting; it just means the public-vs-money lens isn't picking up an edge.

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.
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. See our learn page for more.
In our season-to-date sample, the side with more money than bets covers slightly more than half the time. The edge grows with the size of the bet/money gap.
A 10-point gap between the share of bets and the share of dollars on a side is the threshold we treat as meaningful. 15+ points usually means the average bet on the money side is materially larger — that's where sharp money lives. See our methodology →
