Today’s lone MLB matinee includes the red-hot Milwaukee Brewers taking on the Chicago Cubs (2:20 p.m. ET, MLB Network) in the first game of a Monday doubleheader at Wrigley Field.
The Brewers have won 14 of their last 15 games and now hold a staggering eight-game lead over the Cubs in the NL Central.
Live MLB odds peg Chicago as a -126 favorite against Milwaukee, with the over/under settled at 8.5.
MLB odds movement has been eerily quiet for Brewers vs. Cubs thus far, but a building wave of large wagers could change that soon.
MLB Odds, Pick for Brewers vs Cubs
*Odds as of Monday morning
Just 12% of tickets wagered on the Brewers vs. Cubs total have come in on the under to this point.
However, those 12% of bets account for 37% of the actual money, suggesting that the larger-sized wagers are flowing on the under.
As mentioned above, this line has yet to move since opening, but assuming the current betting percentages hold, or even separate further, don’t be surprised to see the total come down between now and this afternoon’s first pitch.
For those curious, while this total is listed at 8.5 at every major sportsbook, FanDuel is offering the cheapest vig (-112) as of the time of writing.
