Baseball season is in full swing! After the first week of regular season action, we’re already beginning to see some salient trends arise in the world of MLB betting. The start of any new season is a challenging time to get on a betting hot streak, as team results vary widely and game lines adjust to new rosters. However, when equipped with the right tools and information, you can pinpoint MLB betting angles with prime value this early in the season before sportsbooks adjust for broad trends.
Featuring an assortment of incredible tools -- from the Edge Finder to game predictions, player prop projections, to current and historical trends and so much more -- we’re confident this year’s MLB betting tools are the finest we have ever produced. Packed with decades of data and fully-customizable features, we’re sure that the newest edition of our MLB betting tools will optimize your wagering strategy no matter which line you’re interested in taking.
Today, we’re spotlighting how our Edge Finder tool can help uncover value for a given matchup or player. The Edge Finder has everything you could possibly want as you prepare your MLB bets; it allows you to filter through a multitude of scenarios that could possibly shed light on where betting value lies in a certain contest. The focus of today’s Edge Finder preview is tonight matchup between the Seattle Mariners and Chicago White Sox. Two former Cy Young winners lock horns as Robbie Ray and Dallas Keuchel aim to keep the scoring at a minimum. See which bet our Edge Finder likes for Mariners-White Sox:

By adjusting the filters on the Edge Finder, we can observe that the data is trending toward the Under (9) for Mariners-White Sox tonight. Part of the utility of the Edge Finder is that, unlike other sites, you can leverage player presence with the outcome of full-game lines rather than attempt to spell out value on a game line purely using standard individual stats. The Edge Finder allows us to note how Totals on games that Robbie Ray starts have fared dating back to the start of the 2021 season, without the arduous start-hunting labor on your part. Unsurprisingly perhaps, games that Ray has started (since April 2021) have trended toward the Under at a 67% clip, an overwhelmingly lopsided hit rate. Moreover, dating back to the start of September last season, the White Sox have had a penchant for Unders with a 61% hit rate. This likely is a result of sportsbooks’ altering of game lines in response to bettors seeing the team’s stacked lineup and hammering Overs, only for the Under to end up hitting once the 9th inning concludes. The Edge Finder, therefore, recommends considering the Under on the Total if you’re looking to wager Mariners-White Sox tonight.
