The first game on the MLB odds board for today is San Diego Padres vs. Pittsburgh Pirates at 12:35 p.m. ET.
An early afternoon matchup on a weekday in June between two bad teams is very unlikely to draw much attention from recreational bettors.
On the other hand, there are MLB odds posted for today’s Padres vs. Pirates matchup, meaning there’s also an opportunity for value.
With this in mind, let’s dig into the Action Network’s PRO betting tools to pinpoint the surprising MLB pick to consider for Thursday’s Padres vs. Pirates matinee.
MLB Pick Today: Padres vs. Pirates
The Padres are clearly the more popular play among bettors in this game — San Diego has garnered 66% of the moneyline tickets to this point.
However, the Action Network’s MLB public betting data is reporting that Pittsburgh is landing a whopping 97% of the money on just 34% of the bets.
A bets-vs.-dollars discrepancy this vast is often a key signal that larger wagers are consistently falling on one side of a game and the odds movement seems to concur.
After opening at +190, oddsmakers has reacted to the influx of Pirates money by adjusting this line down to +160 (click here for live MLB odds) as of the time of writing.
With that said, BetMGM is still offering Pittsburgh at +165, providing five cents of additional value for those willing to shop for the best line on Thursday afternoon.
