Straight from the sharp desk at ATS STATS — Monday’s card looks like a trading floor before the bell. Public favorites are overpriced, live dogs are circling, and the smart money is moving on undervalued sides. Let’s break it down like Wall Street with a baseball bat.
💹 Top Investment-Grade Plays – Market Value Meets Confidence
DETROIT -203 @ OAKLAND
📊 63.64% C.O.W. | Tigers in a Bullish (11) cycle
🔥 78–54 overall, 44–25 on the road
💡 Heavy chalk, but Detroit remains an A-grade portfolio stock
TORONTO -144 vs MINNESOTA

📊 57.22% C.O.W. | Angels in Bearish (3) funk
💡 Rangers remain a buy signal, Angels pure fade
PHILADELPHIA -131 @ NY METS
📊 48.12% C.O.W. | Phillies Bullish (5), 76–54 overall
