MLB Odds Thursday: Late Money Moving Rangers vs. Tigers Line

MLB Odds: Rangers vs. Tigers

*MLB odds as of Thursday morning

I’m old. How old, you ask?

I’m old enough to remember Al Leiter pitching in the majors. And not New York Mets Leiter from the early 2000s. I’m talking about New York Yankees Leiter from the late 1980s. I’m talking about 1988 Topps error card Leiter.

So, the fact that his son, Jack Leiter, is making his MLB debut for the Texas Rangers on Thursday afternoon doesn’t exactly make me feel young!

A Rangers vs. Tigers weekday matinee in April may not be all that interesting under other circumstances, but sheer curiosity regarding Leiter may be enough to attract more eyeballs.

And speaking of eyeballs, wiseguys have been watching this game as well, and around 10:24 a.m. ET today, they made their move.

Here are the details.

MLB Pick: Rangers vs. Tigers

The Rangers vs. Tigers over/under sits at a consensus of 9 as of the time of writing.

However, this total initially opened at 8.5 and remained there until earlier this morning when, according to Action Labs’ Bet Signals, the sharps struck.

It’s at this point that pro bettors steamed the over, convincing oddsmakers at many sportsbooks to increase the line by a half-run to 9.

Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.

With that said, there are still a handful of books offering this total at 8.5, so be sure to shop for the best price possible if tailing the wiseguys on Thursday’s matinee.
