Instead of just winging it, or avoiding it altogether, we’re approaching MLB weather for Tuesday’s slate equipped with elite data.
Today, two total over/under predictions stand out due to weather conditions: Brewers vs. Cardinals and Tigers vs. Cubs.
A PRO System that is historically profitable making over/under predictions when weather conditions pop alerted those two games in particular, noting the wind conditions.
Wind is one of the most impactful weather factors in baseball betting. It can affect everything from home runs to fly balls, making it a crucial point of consideration. Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs, is particularly notorious for its dramatic wind patterns. These elements can shift rapidly, influencing how the ball travels and ultimately affecting the game’s total score.
Both the Brewers vs. Cardinals and Tigers vs. Cubs over/under odds at the time of writing are 7.5.
With this in mind, let’s delve into our picks for these two games, both of which align with our proprietary weather betting data.
MLB Weather and Over/Under Predictions Backed by Data Tuesday
Today’s matchups fit perfectly into a specific predictive model known as the “Wind Blowing In” system.
This approach involves betting the under when the wind is blowing inward toward home plate at speeds of 5 mph or more. This simple yet effective strategy has proven to yield favorable results, making it an intriguing angle for today’s games.
