*Odds as of Thursday morning
Thursday’s MLB odds board is heavily weighted toward afternoon action.
Seven of today’s 10 matchups will start by 3:40 p.m. ET, leaving just three games for MLB bettors looking for value tonight.
With that said, St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs, which doesn’t get underway until 8:05 p.m. ET, currently qualifies for an MLB betting system with a 60% win rate dating back to 2005.
So let’s go ahead and dig into tonight’s Cardinals vs. Cubs matchup, including the MLB pick showing value.
Cardinals vs. Cubs MLB Pick
The theory behind this MLB betting system pick is quite simple.
Wrigley Field is known for its strong winds, and knowing the direction of those breezes is crucial when identifying betting value.
On Thursday night, the winds are blowing in from left field at 8-9 mph, which makes Cardinals vs. Cubs a match for the Action Network’s Wrigley Field Unders PRO System.
Over that span, unders are 268-179-24 for a 60% win rate in games fitting this criteria.
In addition, this total has dipped from 9 to 8.5 at FanDuel Sportsbook, so the market is clearly taking note as well.
With that said, savvy bettors can still lock in the most value possible by shopping around for the best MLB odds (and vig).
For example, most sportsbooks have under 8.5 listed at -105, while DraftKings is five cents better at +100 as of the time of writing.
