MLB Bets: Systems bettors should note

MLB Bets: Systems bettors should note

Updated:

By: Nick Friar

One important thing to note before digging into specific systems: The Systems tool in the DraftKings Stats Hub now allows you to filter systems by team and not solely by grading. Here’s what the different views looks like:

SYSTEM: Under on total when road favorite is coming off a loss

This system is 88-70-9 to this point in 2024. Far from an overwhelming play from a season-long perspective, but it’s been trending recently. Over the last 30 days, this play is 40-27-3. Over the last seven days specifically, this play is 7-2-1.

Three games fit this system on Tuesday:

  • CIN @ PIT
  • MIL @ LAA
  • KC @ OAK

Of the three teams favored, Milwaukee is the only one that’s been more favorable to the over than the under overall (38-31-3 to the over). However, the Brewers are specifically strong to the under in this setting. Milwaukee has played as a road favorite following a loss on five occasions this season. In four of those games, the under has hit.

SYSTEM PICK FOR JUNE 18

MIL-LAA under 9 runs -115

SYSTEM: NRFI when home favorite is coming off a win

Been a bit since we last highlighted this system, and it continues to be a reliable option. Over the last 30 days, this play has come through in 57.43% of the 148 games it’s been in play. That’s put the play’s season-long success rate at 57.40%.

Four games fit this system on Tuesday:

  • PHI vs. SD
  • WSH vs. ARI
  • ATL vs. DET
  • MIN vs. TB

With the help of the NRFI/YRFI tool in the Stats Hub, Washington-Arizona jumps out as the top option of the bunch. Washington is the best team to NRFI this season at 49-22 overall. Furthermore, NRFI hits slightly more frequently when the Nationals are playing at home (23-10).

Now, the Diamondbacks aren’t as strong to this play at 38-34. However, when Arizona is playing as an underdog, NRFI is 23-14. And while Slade Cecconi isn’t exactly a pitcher I’m looking to back, he has held opponents scoreless in the first frame in six of his eight starts this season.

SYSTEM PICK FOR JUNE 18

WSH-ARI NRFI -105
