🧠 MLB Market Watch: Home Favorites vs. B-Grade Teams (2025)

When any MLB team plays at home vs. a B-Grade opponent, the results this season have leaned toward the expected β€” but with a few surprise patterns savvy bettors can bank on.

🏠 SU Record: 198-130 (60.4%)
πŸ“‰ O/U Record: 153-161-14 (UNDERs cashing 51.3%)

This situational trend tells us home teams are handling business, but the total is showing a slight lean toward the UNDER β€” a stat not to be ignored as early-season fatigue sets in.


πŸ”₯ Spotlight on the Texas Rangers

πŸ“ When: Home vs. B-Grade Teams
βœ… Straight Up: 10-3
⛔️ O/U: 1-12 (yes, 12 UNDERS!)

The Rangers have quietly become one of the sharpest fades on totals in these matchups. With an average game total of 8.46, the combined score sits at just 5.76 β€” nearly 3 runs under. Bettors hammering the UNDER have made a killing.

🏟️ Texas has also delivered the goods SU, covering 10 of their 13 games in this role. A rare team that’s winning and driving totals UNDER. That’s called a value window.


πŸ“Š Other Team Notes:

  • New York Yankees: 8-4 SU, 7-5 O/U β€” Home favorites getting it done
  • Boston Red Sox: 6-4 SU, but 4-5-1 O/U β€” Not the same UNDER edge as Texas
  • Toronto Blue Jays: 8-5 SU, 7-6 O/U β€” Steady SU with mild OVER lean
  • Baltimore Orioles: 5-6 SU, 9-2 O/U β€” The OVER team of this group
  • Chicago White Sox: 4-8 SU, 5-5-2 O/U β€” Fade material with inconsistency

🧠 Raymond Report Tip:

Use the Value Index, team grades, and current cycle indicators to find soft lines. When B-Grade teams visit, don’t just look at SU β€” examine the psychology of the total. Texas shows us how valuable that angle can be.

πŸ“‰ If the market posts a high number, but both teams are low run-producers in current cycles, the UNDER is your friend.
