Here is what the data is telling us for today's MLB games ⏬
Red Sox @ Phillies
BET: 🔥 Red Sox at the moneyline with PointsBet (+108)
📈 2.9% edge on the sportsbooks' odds
The 'books might not like Sox tomorrow, but the early public money indicates that this might go down as the underdog of the day.
Boston have taken care of the Phillies twice already this weekend and look primed for yet another W. With starting Red Sox pitcher, Eduardo Rodriguez, boasting a 5-2 starting record this season, this looks like a great bet at plus money.
But more than just that, when PointsBet is offering free bets like they are in the offer below, why wouldn't you take advantage!?

Pirates @ Braves
BET: 🔥 Atlanta Braves at the run line (+110) with William Hill Sportsbook
📈 2.4% edge on the sportsbooks' odds
It's been a weekend to forget for the Pirates who have lost their two games against the Braves in this series by a total of 24 runs. Atlanta finally might be producing on the early season hype that saw them pegged as one of the preseason favorites to claim this year's World Series. We're getting great odds on a repeat dosage.
For a play like this, it's hard to look past this offer from William Hill Sportsbook who are giving new customers in certain states a RISK-FREE bet up to $500 - see if your state is one of them here. Basically, you can deposit as much or as little as you like (we recommend around $50) and then place your bet on our play. If we get it right, you cash in! If not, that's okay - they'll give you your money back to use again on another bet.

Diamondbacks @ Rockies
BET: 🔥 Total runs UNDER 12 with BetMGM (-112)
📈 56.1% probability
The only thing higher than the altitude in Colorado seems to be the run total lines set by the sportsbooks for Rockies games. A monumental 12-run total is the line for tonight's game against Arizona and all signs point to this being way too many. Both starting pitchers have respectable ERAs below 4.00 and give up minimal amounts of hits per 9 innings pitched compared to some of the worse pitchers in the league. This is one bet well worth taking.
