St. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh Pirates shows a meaningful bet/money divergence on the totals market — not the biggest split on the slate, but worth a look. 72% of bets are on Over 7.5 while only 54% of dollars are on the same side — a 18-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 Under 7.5 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 Under 7.5, and the price reflects what the books think of that lean.

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.
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.
Look for 15+ point gaps where the money is on the unpopular side. Those are the games where the average bet size is doing the talking.
