What the data says

The Athletics don't have a strong public-vs-money pattern this season. Across the 55 games we've tracked, the average bet percentage on Athletics is 40.4% and the average money percentage is 40.7%. Those are middle-of-the-pack numbers — bettors are split, dollars follow the bet count, and the line generally reflects the matchup rather than the public lean.

With 55 games on the board, the data is starting to mean something — and what it means is that Athletics aren't a high-conviction fade or follow play. There's no consistent edge in either direction.

Watch the per-game splits below. Even balanced teams have individual games with meaningful divergence — that's where the daily roundups come in. See our methodology →.

What is a meaningful bet% / money% gap?

What is sharp money?

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.

Athletics are 27-28 against the spread this season. See full splits-by-bucket on the leaderboards.

What is Athletics's record when they are a public favorite?

When Athletics draw 60%+ of bets, they are 5-9 this season. Public favorites historically underperform; see the methodology page for the season aggregate.

How does Fade the Public Analytics calculate splits?

What is a public favorite? A public favorite is the side drawing 60% or more of the betting tickets on a given game. When the money percentage trails the bet percentage on that side, it's a signal that smaller, casual bets are stacking up there — and the larger bets are on the other side. See our methodology →.
