MLB line movement
The Braves-Mets tilt is a toss-up at PointsBet USA, after visiting Atlanta opened -115 behind Sean Newcomb and New York opened -105 with Rick Porcello on the bump. Shortly thereafter, the Braves ticked up to -120, but late Saturday night, the game dialed back to a -110 pick ‘em. First pitch is at 7:08 p.m. ET.
Meanwhile, the Angels send Shohei Ohtani out for his first start since 2018 against the A’s and Mike Fiers. Los Angeles opened -120 on the road and quickly jumped to -130, before settling at -125 late Saturday, with Oakland at +105 for a 4:10 p.m. ET start. PointsBet USA opened the Cards -170 and Pirates +145, then tightened a pinch to -165/+140 in a 2:15 p.m. ET matchup.
MLB sharp money
Early moves are generally sharp moves, so the quick jump up on the Braves was likely on a sharp bet or two, and ditto for the early 10-cent line movement on the Angels.
MLB public betting
The Braves-Mets tilt seemed to draw some public betting later Saturday night, hence the 10-cent line movement that took the Mets from even-money underdogs to a -110 pick ‘em.
