The MLB betting markets are showing major shifts as we close out the month of August. Using the Raymond Report Sports Betting Index (SBI), we track how favorites, underdogs, and totals (Over/Under) are performing in both the short-term and long-term windows. Today’s snapshot tells us where the market is leaning — and where bettors can find value.
📌 Analysis: Favorites cooled off yesterday (47% SU), but they remain strong over the last week (57.6%). This suggests chalk bettors may still have the upper hand in the short-term.
📌 Analysis: Overs completely collapsed yesterday, with just 33% hitting. Pitching has dominated the board, making Unders the more reliable play for cautious bettors.
📌 Analysis: Runline bettors took a beating yesterday, as ATS favorites hit just 40%. Despite that, the longer view remains steady, with no clear long-term edge.
The August 31 MLB SBI Report shows:
This is a neutral-to-bearish environment for Overs and ATS chalk, but SU favorites remain strong in the 7-day window.
👉 Smart bettors should consider selective favorites and continue monitoring totals — especially with pitchers locking down bats as playoff pressure builds.
