MLB Friday Fun Fact Report – July 18, 2025

By ATS STATS – The Raymond Report System

 

Welcome back to baseball after the All-Star Break! Here’s your Friday, July 18th, 2025 edition of MLB Fun Facts powered by The Raymond Report System. We’re highlighting key market streaks, situational trends, and sharp numbers that bettors should keep in mind before firing away on today’s board.

 

Boston Red Sox vs. Chicago Cubs – 2:20 PM ET

  • The Red Sox come in with a perfect 10-0 SU streak over their last 10 games. That’s the hottest form in the league right now.
  • Cubs are no slouches: 6-4 SU L10, but their Value Index Confidence sits neutral.
  • Both teams showing 67% COGO — expect total volatility here with Over or Under possibilities.

Chicago White Sox vs. Pittsburgh Pirates – 6:40 PM ET

  • Rare spot: Pirates open -164 favorites. They’re usually dogs, but Chicago’s 3-game losing streak and league-worst SU record justifies it.
  • Pirates are just 2-8 SU last 10 though — so there’s contrarian value in fading the market’s big line.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Philadelphia Phillies – 6:45 PM ET

  • Phillies open -208, carrying a 55-41 SU record. They’ve hit 3-7 to the Under in their last 10.

  • Padres -149, with a sharp Value Index at NEUTRAL.
  • The Nationals enter on a 4-game losing streak and have a staggering 8-1-1 Over record in their last 10 games.
  • Fun Fact: Washington’s bullpen ERA ranks bottom 3 in the league as of July 18th.

San Francisco Giants vs. Toronto Blue Jays – 7:07 PM ET

  • Jays -156 favorites despite back-to-back SU losses. They’re still 7-3 SU last 10.
  • Giants have been scrappy: 6-4 SU last 10 but struggling to score, reflected in their 4-5-1 Under mark L10.
  • Sharp COGO read: 59% chance of Over.

Oakland Athletics vs. Cleveland Guardians – 7:10 PM ET

  • Guardians are on a 3-game SU win streak with bullish market signals.

Kansas City Royals vs. Miami Marlins – 7:10 PM ET
