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.

Mike's Analysis:

Tonight, there is a strong pitching matchup at Wrigley Field with Mitch Keller facing off against Justin Steele in a friendly pitching environment. Keller possesses a great fastball, consistently hitting 95+ MPH, along with a .264 xwOBA and very low average exit velocity. Steele, on the other hand, is poised to finish as a top 3 Cy Young candidate in the National League. His best pitch is his slider, which has an impressively low .236 xwOBA this season. This game holds immense importance for the Cubs' chances at reaching the postseason, and success hinges on run prevention. I'll place a small bet on the Under.
