MLB Predictions | Expert Model Picks Athletics vs Tigers Moneyline
Betting underdogs early in the MLB season has been a profitable betting proposition — if you account for the right filters.
Today, Athletics moneyline fits a betting trend labeled Early-Season Dogs. Here, we bet:
- Road underdogs
- At +131 or longer
- With an over/under of 7.5
- During games 1-9
The unique angle highlights solid, plus-money sides likely being overlooked due to last year’s performances.
The MLB picks submitted by the expert model aren’t always attractive to bet, but the results are excellent. Also, let’s be honest: The Athletics upsetting the Tigers — who enter Friday red-hot out the gates — would increase the enjoyment tenfold.
