Our “Public Fades Humidity = Unders” system has a 20% lifetime ROI and a 15% ROI this season over 58 picks (35-23).

This system capitalizes on an overlooked weather edge when betting MLB totals. It focuses on regular-season games in which elevated humidity — ranging from 45 to 95 — intersects with moderate temperatures and neutral wind patterns. Despite assumptions that humidity boosts offense, public bettors often fade these conditions, which actually correlate with suppressed scoring in certain environments.

Pick: Under 8 (-106)

There is a value opportunity on LaMonte Wade Jr.’s home runs prop. THE BAT X is projecting 0.11 home runs, with a 10% chance that he records at least one home run. If you can get the over at +1500 or better, there is great value.

By Bet Labs

This matchup fits our “Contrarian Unders for Winning Teams” system as both teams have solid win percentages (51%–100%) and the public is heavily favoring the over (≤35% under bets).

In matchups between winning teams, sportsbooks often inflate totals due to perceived offensive capability, though these teams also tend to have stronger pitching and tighter late-game execution, which leads to a profitable edge on the under.

Overall, this system is 1777-1545-149 (53%) with a 4% ROI. This season, it’s 92-78-2 (54%) with a 3% ROI.

Pick: Under 7 (+105)

By Grant Neiffer

I’m going back to the well on Brent Rooker today because this is a great spot.

Rooker gets a matchup vs. Joe Ryan, who has been a gas can for righty power in his career and has massive fly ball numbers. Additionally, the weather in Sacramento is great with temperatures in the 80s and winds blowing out in one of the most wind-receptive ballparks in the majors. I have the true odds of Rooker homering today at under +300, which makes this a great EV bet.

Pick: Brent Rooker Over 0.5 Home Runs (+340)
