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.

Larry's Analysis:
Lefty Brandon Walter allowed two runs over six innings on June 6 against Cleveland, and I like him to have another strong performance Wednesday at home. The Guardians have been terrible against lefties lately. Cleveland also might not have some of its top bullpen arms to back up Slade Cecconi. Back Houston to avoid the sweep.
