One might think that with college football season officially underway and NFL Week 1 just 10 days away, bettors may be losing interest in professional baseball.
However, based on The Action Network’s public betting data, Monday’s MLB slate is already landing an impressive handle.
And per usual, it’s not just recreational bettors looking for some action — sharps are always swimming in Monday’s MLB waters.
Phillies vs. Nationals MLB Pick
Sharp Action
The Nationals opened as +115 underdogs against the Phillies for tonight’s matchup, a number that eventually floated as high as +165 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Wiseguys appeared to have little interest in that short opener, but couldn’t help themselves once the Nationals moneyline peaked at +165.
Action Labs’ Bet Signals have tracked two separate waves of sharp action coming in on the Nats, driving this number back down to a consensus of +130 across the market.
Big Money
Unsurprisingly, professionals are backing their opinions with big bucks as well.
Washington has convinced just 26% of moneyline bettors to back its plus-money price, yet the Nats have attracted 54% of the money.
A bets-vs.-dollars discrepancy this large tells us exactly where the biggest bets are coming in on this game.
