We found something when analyzing American League teams hosting National League opponents. And it’s our best moneyline model in MLB PRO Systems.
Specifically, AL home teams with win percentages ranging between 47% to 53% have a notable 61% success rate against their NL counterparts, especially as the season matures. This trend suggests that these AL teams are often undervalued in such matchups, providing a lucrative opportunity for savvy bettors.

It’s the Rays matching Friday’s 61% trend.

Next, we delve into the “Contrarian Unders for Winning Teams” PRO System.
This model indicates a preference for the under when two winning MLB teams go head-to-head, particularly if the majority of bets—66% or more—are leaning towards the over. This contrarian approach holds a 53% historical win rate and has proven to be a solid strategy for identifying undervalued betting lines.

Friday’s matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks falls squarely within this system. Early bets are on the over (88% of tickets).
Both teams have been performing well, and with public sentiment heavily shifting towards a high-scoring game, this creates the perfect storm for an under bet. By going against the grain, bettors can capitalize on inflated lines created by majority betting.
