MLB public betting, line movement September 13
Patrick Everson
Corey Seager and the Los Angeles Dodgers look to earn a split of their two-game series with the Houston Astros when the two teams meet in prime time on Sunday night.
MLB betting odds are on the board for a full slate and then some, with a 16-game Sunday schedule. Among the more noteworthy games is the wrap-up of a quick two-game weekend set between the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on MLB opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Sunday’s games.
MLB line movement
Houston is having a dreadful West Coast swing, but finally broke through with a five-run ninth inning to beat Los Angeles 7-5 Saturday and halt a 1-8 nosedive on the trip. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have been human lately, losing two of their last four, but still lead the majors with a 32-14 record.
With the Dodgers’ starter not yet set for an 8:08 p.m. ET Sunday contest, most sportsbooks held off posting the line until Sunday morning. Check back for details.
The Minnesota Twins aim to finish off a three-game sweep of the visiting Cleveland Indians. Caesars books opened at Twins -133/Indians +123, and there was no movement through Saturday night.
And it appears the New York Yankees are on the rebound. The Pinstripes followed a 5-15 nosedive with four consecutive wins, heading into the finale of a four-game home weekend set with the Baltimore Orioles. Caesars opened at Yankees -198/Orioles +179 and moved to -202/+182.
MLB public betting
The Consensus had the Twins drawing 56 percent of early picks against the Indians, through Saturday night. The Yankees were slightly more popular, at 63 percent of early Consensus picks.
