• 3-Day: 46.7% Favorites – Neutral
• 7-Day: 48% Favorites – Neutral
• 1-Month: 50.7% Favorites – Neutral
• YTD: 55.5% Favorites – Neutral

Takeaway:
Favorites fell flat yesterday, cashing just 33% of the board – a BEARISH signal. Dogs had their day, and sharp bettors who chased underdog moneylines likely got paid. Over the past week and month, however, the market has stabilized back into neutral territory.

⚖️ Totals (Over/Under) Market

Takeaway:
The totals board is sitting in neutral gear across every timeframe. No major trend has emerged, with overs and unders trading punches. This signals that matchup handicapping and pitching analysis are more valuable than leaning blindly on market bias.

🏟 ATS (Runline) Favorites vs. Dogs

• 1-Day: 42% Favorites – BEARISH
• 3-Day: 51.7% Favorites – Neutral
• 7-Day: 52.1% Favorites – Neutral
• 1-Month: 56.5% Favorites – Neutral
• YTD: 50.4% Favorites – Neutral

Takeaway:
ATS favorites took a beating yesterday, hitting just 42% – another BEARISH flag. Dogs on the runline delivered value. Over the longer-term windows, though, the board has settled into a neutral pattern, offering no edge to either side.

💡 Market Insight

The story of August 19th is simple: dogs stole the spotlight. Straight-Up favorites hit just 33% and ATS favorites just 42%. It’s the type of day where bankroll discipline pays off — blindly riding chalk would have been costly.

Looking ahead, the market remains largely neutral over 3-day, 7-day, and monthly frames, meaning handicappers must dig deeper into pitching matchups, bullpen fatigue, and situational angles to find edges.

📈 Final Word

When the market turns BEARISH on favorites, sharp bettors know it’s time to hunt underdog value. But with the board sitting in neutral gear long-term, it’s a reminder that the Raymond Report handicapping system shines in finding those daily mismatches.
