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.

Jake's Analysis:
We're going with a "he's due" approach for Oneil Cruz, who's due both in general and specifically against Mikolas. Cruz's batting average is down to .203, largely because he's hitting just .110 with a .409 OPS against left-handed pitchers. While he hasn't been great against righties either, he's hit 17 of his 18 HRs against them. We set Cruz's line at +360 to homer.
