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.

Matt's Analysis:
Pittsburgh has the second-best record in the Grapefruit League and is starting pretty much every regular in the lineup today from lovely Bradenton -- where the Bucs are 7-3. Starting pitcher Mitch Keller has been excellent this spring with a 1.23 ERA over three appearances. Houston is starting no regulars and has three road wins in Florida.
