The following MLB betting trends are a collection of analytical data, betting systems and strength ratings featured on VSiN and qualified for the MLB games of Friday, May 9, 2025. This report is meant to emulate the process that Steve Makinen and other members of the VSiN Analytics team undergo when handicapping each day’s MLB board.

 

AJ’s Angles

These are the top MLB betting trends and systems for today’s games, handpicked by VSiN Analyst AJ Makinen.

Trend: Baltimore has won 17 of the last 22 games (77.3%, +12.85 units) against LA Angels
– The ROI on this trend is 58.4%
Trend Match (PLAY): BALTIMORE (-148 at LAA) 

Trend: Jose Quintana is 17-4 (+11.80 units) in the shorter line favorite (-120 to -135) range in the last six seasons (including 7-0 on the road)
Trend Match (PLAY): MILWAUKEE (-120 at TB) 

MLB Series Betting System #7: Small home favorites of -111 to -180 have been terrible in the first game of any homestand, going 281-240 but for -58.38 units and a ROI of -11.2% over the last three seasons
System Matches (FADE ALL): NY METS (-155 vs. CHC), HOUSTON (-180 vs. CIN), SEATTLE (-142 vs. TOR) 

Home teams coming off unusually bad team pitching performances where they allowed 16 hits or more in a game are on a run of 293-253 (53.7%) for +29.21 units and a ROI of 5.3% since the start of the 2018 season.
System Match (PLAY): CHICAGO WHITE SOX (+130 vs MIA)

MLB Bullpen Systems

The following systems and qualifying plays are from the weekly update series on handicapping MLB teams using Steve Makinen’s bullpen strength ratings.

The quickest way to play the bullpen system
For the 2025 season, better rated bullpen teams that were not favorites of -190 or higher, or were -190 or higher and had a winning percentage 19% or higher and a starting pitcher edge of at least 20 have gone 268-221 for +11.24 units and an ROI of 2.3% so far in the regular season. This is a solid early return for what has been a long-running strategy I have embraced, especially when you consider that the average bettor playing every MLB game this season theoretically would be down -26.90 units.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): ATLANTA, ST LOUIS, TAMPA BAY, CLEVELAND, NY METS, KANSAS CITY, CHICAGO WHITE SOX, SAN FRANCISCO, SAN DIEGO, BALTIMORE, TORONTO, LA DODGERS, NY YANKEES 

Back teams with both a better SM bullpen rating AND starting pitcher rating if that team has an even or worse record
In the 2025 season, I have found that teams with an even or worse record on the season but showing a better Steve Makinen Bullpen Rating and starting pitcher rating have gone 58-30 for +20.22 units, and an ROI of 23%! To ensure this wasn’t a fluke run, I went back and tabulated the results from the 2024 full regular teams, and teams in that same scenario were 189-127 for +35 units and a ROI of 11.1%. This seems to be a good foundational angle to follow since the prices aren’t that high typically.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): BALTIMORE (-148 at LAA), TORONTO (+124 at SEA) 

Fade better bullpen overpriced favorites of -190 or higher when the win percentage difference of teams is <19%
In the last two regular seasons in which the team with the Steve Makinen better rated bullpen was listed as a favorite of -190 or higher and had a winning percentage less than 19% higher than the opponent, that team has owned a 307-182 record, but for -118.22 units. This represented an ROI of -24.2%! For ’25, these teams remain off to an uncustomary good start, 29-6 for +14.65 units. This has to be slowly draining the sportsbooks, and I’d be surprised if it kept up.
System Matches (FADE ALL): DETROIT (-270 vs. TEX), HOUSTON (-192 vs. CIN) 

Better bullpen underdog teams were solid wagers all season long
A frequent and profitable system in the 2023 season, and prior to that as well, arose when the team with the better SM Bullpen Ratings played as an underdog (or pick ’em). Money line underdog teams with better bullpen ratings for the last two seasons were 701-790, but for +46.27 units. The 2024 season was below standards historically (lost -26.45 units), and we will be looking for a bounce back in 2025, but the start has been slow, 82-115 for -20.04 units.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): ST LOUIS (-105 at WSH), MILWAUKEE (-120 at TB), CLEVELAND (+105 vs. PHI), CHICAGO WHITE SOX (+130 vs MIA), KANSAS CITY (+100 vs. BOS), TORONTO (+124 at SEA), LA DODGERS (+105 at AZ) 

Better bullpen underdog teams in -110 to +144 range have won nicely
Digging deeper into the better bullpen underdog system above, when limiting the plays to those better bullpen underdogs (or pick ’ems) in the -110 to +144 range, those teams produced a 328-350 record, for +9.84 units (ROI 1.1%) in the full 2024 season. I believe this angle has a bit more merit than the overall bullpen underdog system in that the better bullpens figure to be the difference in games that are expected to be highly competitive. For 2025, these teams have struggled out of the gate, as they are 72-100 for -21.34 units. This is still a disappointment early, but we were able to capture back +1.96 units over the last week-and-a-half.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): ST LOUIS (-105 at WSH), MILWAUKEE (-120 at TB), CLEVELAND (+105 vs. PHI), CHICAGO WHITE SOX (+130 vs. MIA), KANSAS CITY (+100 vs. BOS), TORONTO (+124 at SEA), LA DODGERS (+105 at AZ) 

Worse bullpen teams continue to struggle in extending winning streaks
I have found that fading teams with a lesser SM bullpen ratings that were looking to extend winning streaks is also a strong strategy. Over the last two regular seasons, on two-game winning streaks, the teams with worse Steve Makinen Bullpen Ratings in a matchup have gone 428-485 for -78.6 units, a ROI of -8.6%. For this year, they are 42-48 for -5.86 units (ROI -6.5%), and have dropped -16.89 units over the last four weeks. Worse bullpen teams on 3+ game winning streaks finished the last two regular seasons with a record of 186-218 for -29.23 units. The ROI on that system was -7.2%. After a slow start to this year, they are starting to fall back into place (22-23, -0.94 units).
System Matches (FADE ALL): 2-games – BOSTON (-120 at KC), SEATTLE (-148 vs. TOR)
3+ games – PHILADELPHIA (-125 at CLE), MINNESOTA (-108 vs. SF) 

Better bullpen teams are capable of building lengthy winning streaks
In conducting a study of teams with better bullpens on winning streaks in 2023, when looking at teams with better Steve Makinen Bullpen Ratings looking to extend three-game winning streaks, I tracked that those teams that went 241-168 for +11.33 units, a respectable ROI of 2.7%. For 2024, better bullpen teams on a 3-game winning streak went 200-187 for -64.18 units (-16.6% ROI). This was a massive one-year swing for this system, and it was removed from the Analytics Report. However, I am giving it a chance in 2025, and so far it is 53-39 for -0.31 units.
System Matches (SLIGHT PLAY ALL): DETROIT (-270 vs. TEX), ST LOUIS (-105 at WSH), KANSAS CITY (+100 vs. BOS) 

Better bullpen teams thwart losing streaks
Better bullpen teams on 3+ game losing streaks have gone 231-159 for +40.34 units over the last two regular seasons, maintaining remarkable consistency as well. The ROI during that span has been 10.3%! For 2025, it is off to a fabulous start, 34-20 for +10.05 units, an ROI of 18.6%.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): TAMPA BAY (+100 vs. MIL), CHICAGO WHITE SOX (+130 vs. MIA), BALTIMORE (-148 at LAA)

Strategies Using MLB DraftKings Betting Splits Data

One of the most touted features on the VSiN.com website, and a feature that we believe to be a fantastic resource for bettors, is the betting splits pages. These are the pages that we have built utilizing the data that DraftKings so graciously provides to us, detailing the breakdowns of the money and ticket splits for point spreads, money lines, and totals. 

In an article published on the VSiN.com website prior to opening day, Steve Makinen outlined 10 different systematic strategies for successfully using the DK Betting Splits Data that was developed in the 2023/2024 season. Here are the systems and qualifying plays for today’s games as of 11:30 a.m. ET. These can and will change, so continue to track and qualify the systems up until first pitch for best usage. 

Below is a summary of the 2024 season findings, with the 2023 results also noted. As you can see, bettors were somewhat improved over the 2023 season in all of the six measured categories. These were the 2024 full season results, along with some notes about the early 2025 returns: 

–  2024 Majority handle on sides: 1366-1064 (56.2%), -129.73 units – ROI -5.3% (2023 full season ROI was -10.7%)
–  2024 Majority number of bets on sides: 1399-1044 (57.3%), -129.28 units – ROI -5.3% (2023 full season ROI was -8.9%)
–  2024 Majority handle on run lines: 1181-1260 (48.4%). -108.79 units, ROI -4.5% (2023 full season ROI was -7.9%)
–  2024 Majority number of bets on run lines: 1165-1280 (47.6%). -97.78 units – ROI -4.0% (2023 full season ROI was -7.9%)
–  Majority handle on totals: 1200-1139 (51.3%). -52.9 units – ROI -2.3% (2023 full season ROI was -2.6%)
–  Majority number of bets on totals: 1186-1121 (51.4%), -47.1 units, ROI -2.0% (2023 full season ROI was -8.3%)

If you’re wondering why all of the results don’t add up to the same amount of games, it’s because 50/50 handle or bets splits are counted as null, plus there were several pushes on totals throughout the season. 

As a general rule, acknowledging the approximate -7% returns on all side majorities, and -4% on total majorities, if adopting the use of the betting splits this season, opt to fade majorities unless shown otherwise in one of the systems below to be a profitable follow angle.

DK MLB Betting Splits system #1: When 90% or more of the handle was on the home side of an MLB money line wager since the beginning of the 2023 season, this “super” majority group has fared quite well, going 200-83 (70.7%) for +35.78 units and an ROI of +12.6%. This obviously beats the overall majority handle ROI return by over 20%. If you see 90% or more of the handle backing a host in an MLB game this season, it’s a solid bet to follow it.
System Match (PLAY): HOUSTON 

DK MLB Betting Splits system #2: Majority bets groups have proven to be reasonably successful when not too many of them hop on a side since the beginning of the 2023 season, and in fact, the benchmark was 60%+. When the majority percentage figure of bets landed in the 51%-59% range, these groups have gone 431-381 (53.1%) for -4.6 units and an ROI of -0.6%. This is no longer positive after two full seasons, but it is an improvement of about 6.5% on the overall numbers, and a return that would easily keep bettors afloat, considering this angle has included 812 total games. Following smaller majorities can be a sound strategy.
System Matches (CONSIDER PLAYING): WASHINGTON, KANSAS CITY 

DK MLB Betting Splits system #3: Majority handle bettors have been sound over the last two seasons when getting behind huge home favorites of -250 or higher. This group is 194-62 (75.8%) for +13.5 units and an ROI of 5.3%. This is a nice rate of return and a tremendous winning percentage, but with prices like this, things can turn fast, so consider that when backing.
System Match (PLAY): DETROIT

DK MLB Betting Splits system #5: Majority handle bettors have been at their worst overall in interleague games since the start of 2023, going 716-658 (52.1%) but for -140.34 units and a ROI of -10.2%. This is over three full percentage points worse for return and an indication that bettors have trouble gauging the strengths/motivations of the teams when playing unfamiliar opponents.
System Matches (FADE ALL): MILWAUKEE, PHILADELPHIA, MIAMI, SAN FRANCISCO, HOUSTON 

DK MLB Betting Splits system #6: There has been a unique system that has developed since the start of last season when majority handle betting groups backed home favorites with fewer wins on the season. This is a terrible scenario for bettors, as they are just 226-228 (48.3%) for -105.41 units and an atrocious ROI of -23.2%. There’s a lot of common sense to this not doing well, since the lesser team is being favored just because it is at home or has a better starting pitcher working.
System Matches (FADE ALL): WASHINGTON, HOUSTON 

DK MLB Betting Splits system #7: There has been a distinct up-and-down pattern of performance for majority handle bettors by month since the beginning of the ‘23 season. Combined March/April ROI has been -1.5%, May has been a brutal -12.5%, June has climbed back up to -5.3%. July has slipped to -12.5%, followed by an August return of -3.5% in consecutive seasons, and finally a September/October drain of -13.3%. Diving deeper into specifics, these three different systems will continue to be tracked for 2025:
– Majority handle bettors in May games of 2023-24 were just 431-379 (53.2%) for -101.23 units and an ROI of -12.5%
System Matches: FADE ALL MAJORITY handle TEAMS THIS MONTH 

DK MLB Betting Splits system #9: Over the last season-and-a-half, the average posted total in MLB games has been a touch over 8.5. In games with posted totals higher than that (9 or higher), majority bettors have done quite well when they’ve had the discipline to opt for Under the total. This group has gone 190-169 (73.4%) since the start of the 2023 season for +26.1 units and an ROI of +7.3%!
System Match (PLAY UNDER): MIL-TB 

MLB Series Systems

The following systems are from an article posted on April 3, 2025 regarding MLB game-by-game betting, particularly the first and last games of a series.

MLB Series Betting System #1: Teams starting a new series and riding at least a three-game winning streak are 347-267 for +44.58 units and an ROI of 7.3% over the last three seasons
System Matches (PLAY ALL): DETROIT (-270 vs. TEX), ST LOUIS (-105 at WSH), PHILADELPHIA (-122 at CLE), KANSAS CITY (+100 vs. BOS), MINNESOTA (-108 vs. SF)

MLB Series Betting System #3: Small road favorites of -111 to -130 have been a solid wager in the opening game of a new series, going 175-113 for +36.40 units and an ROI of 12.6% over the last three seasons
System Matches (PLAY ALL): MILWAUKEE (-120 at TB), PHILADELPHIA (-122 at CLE), BOSTON (-120 at KC), SAN FRANCISCO (-112 at MIN)

MLB Series Betting System #6: Small home underdogs of -109 to +120 have been awful in the first game of a series when welcoming a new opponent in a multi-series homestand, going 92-143 for -47.92 units and a ROI of -20.4% over the last three seasons
System Matches (FADE ALL): TAMPA BAY (+100 vs. MIL), KANSAS CITY (+100 vs. BOS), MINNESOTA (-108 vs. SF)
*watch for LA ANGELS vs BAL and ATHLETICS vs NYY, both +124 currently 

MLB Series Betting System #7: Small home favorites of -111 to -180 have been terrible in the first game of any homestand, going 281-240 but for -58.38 units and an ROI of -11.2% over the last three seasons
System Matches (FADE ALL): NY METS (-155 vs. CHC), HOUSTON (-180 vs. CIN), SEATTLE (-142 vs. TOR) 

MLB Series Betting System #8: Home favorites opening up an interleague series have gone 125-56 but for +13.63 units and an ROI of 7.5% over the last three seasons
System Match (PLAY): HOUSTON (-180 vs. CIN)
*watch for MINNESOTA vs SF, -125 currently 

MLB Series Betting System #10: Teams playing in the first game of a new series on the road and coming off a win in which they scored six or more runs in a win boast a solid 324-262 record for +60.91 units and a ROI of 10.4% over the last three seasons, so long as they are not priced at +175 or worse
System Match (PLAY): PHILADELPHIA (-122 at CLE) 

MLB Extreme Stats Systems

The following systems and qualifying plays are from the article titled MLB Extreme Stats Systems, detailing eight MLB betting trend systems for betting teams based upon noteworthy stats they accumulated in their previous game 

“9” is a magic run number for fading a team in the next game
Since 2018, doesn’t matter if the team is playing at home or on the road, if they scored nine runs or more in the previous contest, they are posting a winning record at 1743-1662 (51.2%), but oddsmaker overpricing has resulted in a loss of -245.64 units. This represents an ROI of -7.2%, which is significant in the grand scheme of baseball daily betting.
System Matches (FADE ALL): KANSAS CITY, DETROIT, HOUSTON 

Road teams that didn’t score well in the last game are a bad bet in the next outing
You’re going to want to consider fading teams playing on the road that scored two runs or fewer in their last contest. They have proven to be bankroll-busting options over their last 4+ seasons. These road teams are just 1696-2181 (43.7%) for -205.18 units and an ROI of -5.3% since the start of the 2019 season.
System Matches (FADE ALL): MILWAUKEE, CHICAGO CUBS, MIAMI, BALTIMORE, TEXAS 

Home teams that did score well last game are also actually a bad bet in the next outing
Going back another season to 2018, home teams coming off a game in which they scored five runs or more are winning more often than not at 3544-3113 (53.2%), but they have been a loser for bettors at -485.03 units and an ROI of -7.3%.
System Matches (FADE ALL): CLEVELAND, WASHINGTON, HOUSTON, SEATTLE, ATHLETICS, NY METS, MINNESOTA, KANSAS CITY, DETROIT, TAMPA BAY, LA ANGELS, ARIZONA 

Home team hitting slumps don’t last long
MLB home teams coming off a game in which they had 4 hits or fewer have rebounded quickly with a 1009-870 (53.7%) record in the follow-up contest since the start of the 2018 season. This has resulted in a profit of +19.88 units for backers and an ROI of 1.1%.
System Match (PLAY): PITTSBURGH (+124 vs. ATL) 

Watch for home teams that didn’t record an extra base hit
Home teams that failed to record an extra base hit in their previous game bounce back with a 522-441 (54.2%) record in the next contest when at home in that same time span. The profit there is +21.15 units, for a ROI of 2.2%.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): PITTSBURGH (+124 vs. ATL), COLORADO (+140 vs. SD) 

Unusually poor pitching performances provide motivation for hosts
Home teams coming off unusually bad team pitching performances where they allowed 16 hits or more in a game are on a run of 293-253 (53.7%) for +29.21 units and an ROI of 5.3% since the start of the 2018 season.
System Match (PLAY): CHICAGO WHITE SOX (+130 vs. MIA)

MLB Streak Systems

The following systems and qualifying plays are from the 2023 midseason article titled Handicapping MLB Streaks, detailing 14 different systems for betting teams on winning or losing streaks. 

Losing Streak Betting System #2:
Teams on losing streaks of seven games or more and winning fewer than 43% of their games on the season are on a 57-126 skid (-40.02 units, ROI: -21.9%).
System Match (FADE): PITTSBURGH (+124 vs. ATL) 

Losing Streak Betting System #3:
Strangely, teams on losing streaks of seven games or more tend to fare best against their best opponents. Against teams winning 61.5% of their games or more, these teams on losing skids have gone 16-15 (+11.77 units, ROI: 38%) while against all other opponents with lesser records than 61.5% winning percentage, they are just 72-155 (-60.92 units, ROI: -26.8%) since the start of the 2021 season.
System Match (FADE): PITTSBURGH (+124 vs. ATL)

Losing Streak Betting System #5:
Teams that have lost their last four games but are playing on the road in a competitive line scenario (+130 to -300) have been successful in snapping their skids, 120-106 outright (+3.97 units, ROI: 1.8%).
System Match (PLAY): BALTIMORE (-148 at LAA) 

Losing Streak Betting System #6:
Teams that have lost their last four games but are getting reasonably good pitching during the skid have been solid wagers in game #5, as those that allowed 6.0 RPG or fewer during the streak are on a 204-203 run (+30.31 units, ROI: 7.4%).
System Matches (PLAY ALL): CHICAGO WHITE SOX (+130 vs. MIA), PITTSBURGH (+124 vs. ATL)

Losing Streak Betting System #7:
The matchup most likely to find a team ending a four-game losing streak is a non-divisional league matchup, as these teams are 166-187 (+4.30 units, ROI: 1.2%) in such games since the start of the 2021 season.
System Matches (SLIGHT PLAY ALL): BALTIMORE (-148 at LAA), PITTSBURGH (+124 vs ATL) 

Winning Streak Betting System #2:
Strangely, teams on winning streaks of five games or more and winning fewer than 50% of their games on the season have been the better investment than winning teams, as they are 60-52 (+12.18 units, ROI: 10.9%) in their last 112 tries to extend streaks.
System Match (PLAY): MINNESOTA (-108 vs SF)

Winning Streak Betting System #3:
The teams with some of the best value in looking to extend winning streaks are actually those that don’t score a lot of runs typically. Teams on winning streaks of five games and scoring less than 4.5 RPG are 139-111 (+10.22 units, ROI: 4.1%) since the start of the 2021 season.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): KANSAS CITY (+100 vs. BOS), MINNESOTA (-108 vs. SF) 

Winning Streak Betting System #4:
Teams on winning streaks of five games or more and playing against non-divisional league opponents are 189-133 in their last 322 tries (+13.50 units, ROI: 4.2%).
System Matches (PLAY ALL): KANSAS CITY (+100 vs. BOS), ST LOUIS (-105 at WSH) 

Winning Streak Betting System #6:
Oddly, teams that score the most runs per game are the best to fade to see their four-game winning streak reach five. Teams scoring 5.0 or more runs per game and riding a four-game winning streak are just 102-109 (-46.07 units, ROI: -21.8%) in the next contest since the start of the 2021 season.
System Match (FADE): DETROIT (-270 vs. TEX)
