Understanding Public and Money

Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Bruce's Analysis:

It looks like Mitch Keller is going to have some suitors at the trade deadline, and good for him if it's a team like the Cubs (as rumored), giving him a chance to pitch in the postseason. That's not happening with the Bucs, who are a hard sell right now as this road trip into the All-Star break has begun with four straight losses and outscored 17-3 in the process. Meanwhile, the Royals seem to be picking up some momentum, with wins in four of five, and roughing up Andrew Heaney in Monday's 9-3 win. Seth Lugo has also been one of the AL's hottest pitchers the past month, with a 1.29 in six starts since the beginning of June. Play Royals on Run Line
