Fifteen games hit the board on Monday, July 20, and the trends worth circling come with a bonus. Several of the steadiest sides are paying better than the standard -110. The Yankees keep getting held down, Texas keeps slugging with an ace back on the mound, and a Cardinals road offense won't quiet down. Here is where the numbers line up tonight.
| Bet | Record | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Yankees Team Total Under 3.5 | Under in 13 straight | +106 |
| Rangers Game Total Over 7.5 | Over in 16 of 19 | -109 |
| Cardinals Team Total Over 4.5 | 24 of 30 on the road | +112 |
| Phillies Game Total Under 8.5 | Under in 13 of 19 | -112 |
| Orioles Money Line | 5-0 as a dog | +133 |
| Guardians NRFI | 17 of 22 | - |
The Yankees can't buy runs, and the Under keeps cashing
Start with the plus-money headliner. The Yankees Team Total Under has cashed in 13 straight games, and tonight you are getting +106 to ride it. The number sits at just 3.5 as New York hosts Pittsburgh, on the low end for a lineup with this much thump, which tells you how the bats have looked lately. A winning side that pays plus money does not show up every night, and this one has been automatic.
Worth a look: the Team Total Under at +106.
deGrom is back, and Texas games still turn into track meets
Here is the tension piece. Jacob deGrom is expected to take the ball for Texas against the White Sox, back from a glute scare, and he has been sharp with a 3.07 ERA over his last 7 starts. And yet the Rangers Game Total Over has cashed 10 in a row, 16 of the last 19, with tonight's number at Over 7.5, -109. Texas has hung double digits on the scoreboard through much of that stretch. Can an ace on a good run finally cool it off? That is the read. The board says the Over, deGrom says not so fast.
The lean is the Over 7.5, with an eye on deGrom's first inning.
Cardinals bats travel, and the price rewards it
St. Louis has been a menace on the road, cashing the Team Total Over in 24 of its last 30 road games, and tonight in Anaheim the number is 4.5 at +112. Another plus-money tag on a trend that keeps landing. The Cardinals hung big crooked numbers in several of those games, and while the active streak is short at just one, the 30-game body of work is what stands out here.
Worth a look: the Cardinals Team Total Over at +112.
Phillies and Dodgers, and the runs still won't come
Two heavyweights meet in Philadelphia, and the scoreboard has not cooperated with the star power. The Phillies Game Total Under has cashed in 13 of the last 19, five in a row, with tonight's number at 8.5, -112. Five straight Unders in a series stacked with sluggers is the kind of thing that makes you look twice at the number.
The lean is the Under 8.5 in Philadelphia.
Baltimore keeps winning as the dog
Short and sweet. The Orioles are 5-0 straight up in their last 5 games as an underdog, and tonight they are getting +133 on the Money Line in Boston. Small sample, no argument there, but a dog that keeps finding a way is worth a look at plus money.
Worth a look: the Orioles Money Line at +133.
The first inning has gone dark in Cleveland
Guardians games have finished with a scoreless first inning in 17 of the last 22, a run of quiet openers that has reached three straight. Tanner Bibee is expected to start for Cleveland opposite Minnesota's Joe Ryan, and Bibee has kept the opening frame clean in 5 of his last 10 outings. There is no posted price on the NRFI in the feed tonight, so treat this as a trend to track rather than a number to chase. If NRFI is new to you, our betting terminology guide breaks it down.
The lean is the NRFI in Cleveland.

Chasing player angles instead? Those live in tonight's props board.
The board did not hand out a ton of drama tonight, but it did hand out plus money on a stack of sides that keep cashing. Take the number, or at least shop for it.
