Best Bets for Wednesday’s MLB Slate

Astros Moneyline (+116): Houston is drawing only 22% of bets but a commanding 81% of the handle, the largest sharp/public split on the entire board. The money side likes the Astros behind Peter Lambert against a TBA Yankees starter.
Cardinals Moneyline (-103): St. Louis holds 52% of bets but a staggering 97% of the handle in a virtual pick’em with Baltimore. Sharp bettors are loading up on the home side at near even money.
Rangers Moneyline (+114): Texas is attracting just 23% of tickets but 75% of the handle as an underdog in Chicago. Sharp money is fading the public’s fascination with the White Sox.
Royals Moneyline (+125): Kansas City is collecting 34% of bets but 77% of the handle in Toronto. The sharp lean on the underdog here is significant against a Blue Jays team getting heavy public action.

ERA	TBA	3.68
WHIP	TBA	1.202
