Here is what the data is telling us for today's MLB games ⏬
Mariners @ Twins
BET: 🔥 Total runs OVER 8 FanDuel Sportsbook (+100)
📈 54.8% probability
These teams like to play in high scoring games. The over/under is a combined 9-5 between the Mariners and Twins to open the 2021 season, and that included a 10-2 game that they played against each other last night going in Minnesota's favor. The 8 run line looks pretty good to us! Take the over.

Athletics @ Astros
BET: 🔥 Total runs OVER 9 with DraftKings Sportsbook (+100)
📈 53.7% probability
We're going to keep the overs train rolling with Houston and Oakland in H-Town this afternoon. The Astros had a relatively quiet night last night only collecting 2 runs on their way to a loss in the second game of the weekend series with the A's, but they're primed to explode today at + odds. This is the second best team in the MLB right now for runs scored per 9 innings at 6.72. They might be able to clear the 9-run line on their own.

Cubs @ Pirates
BET: 🔥 Pittsburgh Pirates at the run line with BetMGM (-115)
📈 57.9% probability
The Pirates continue to be one of the league's worst teams after a dire 2020 season, but they do also have a knack for throwing up the odd surprise or two. They continue their weekend set against the Cubs after losing the first game on Friday 4-2. Our data like a potential reversal of their fortunes here, but we're taking the run line just for that little extra bit of insurance.
