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:
So I am meh on SportsLine MLB picks so far but please check out my CBS Sports plays because then I get to manipulate numbers -- doing quite well via those SGPs with alts. And I have one for this game. But I'm fine with Cubs ML straight. Shota Imanaga has utterly owned the Bucs career. The Cubbies better take advantage of missing Pittsburgh's two best pitchers in this series, although I moved to Bears camp news with the crushing Cade Horton injury. Not sure crushing is enough.
