AJ’s Angles
These are the top MLB betting trends and systems for today’s games, handpicked by VSiN Analyst AJ Makinen.
Trend: ATL is 10-1 (+7.95 units) in the last 11 Home Divisional starts by Spencer Strider
Trends Match (PLAY): ATLANTA (-136 vs. NYM)
* Teams on losing streaks of seven games or more and winning fewer than 43% of their games on the season are on a 65-136 skid (-40.45 units, ROI: -20.1%).
System Match (FADE): WASHINGTON (-164 vs. COL)
MLB Series Betting System #11: Road teams wrapping up a series after a game in which they lost and scored 4 or fewer runs have bounced back well with a 545-614 record but for +51.60 units and an ROI of 4.5% over the last three seasons
System Matches (PLAY ALL): MILWAUKEE (+108 at CHC), ARIZONA (+117 at TOR), MINNESOTA (-105 at CIN), NY METS (+112 at ATL), SAN DIEGO (+216 at LAD)
* This season, teams with strong bullpens (SM rating of 10 or higher) and an elite starting pitcher with a SM rating of +20 or more have gone 165-87 for +39.32 units, when not matched against the same. This represents an ROI of +15.6%!
System Matches (PLAY ALL): NY YANKEES (-285 vs. LAA), MILWAUKEE (+108 at CHC), SAN FRANCISCO (-181 vs. CLE), DETROIT GAME 1 (-327 vs. PIT), ATLANTA (-136 vs. NYM), TAMPA BAY (-137 vs BAL), LA DODGERS (-272 vs. SD)
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 521-440 for +3.54 units and an ROI of 0.4% so far in the regular season. To get a full perspective on the advantage of this strategy, playing almost every MLB game on the board, the average MLB bettor now using it and playing it would theoretically be down over -56.25 units.
System Matches (SLIGHT PLAY ALL): MINNESOTA, COLORADO, ST LOUIS GAME 1 AND GAME 2, DETROIT GAME 1 AND GAME 2, CHICAGO CUBS, TEXAS, TORONTO, SAN FRANCISCO, MIAMI, ATLANTA, TAMPA BAY, HOUSTON, SAN DIEGO
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 97-57 for +28.24 units, and a ROI of 18.3%! To ensure this isn’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 an ROI of 11.1%. This seems to be a good foundational angle to follow since the prices aren’t that high typically. We gained another +4.29 units last week.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): TEXAS (-125 vs. KC), ATLANTA (-136 vs. NYM)
** NEW STARTER/BULLPEN CORRELATION SYSTEMS **
Teams with elite starting pitchers (SM rating of higher than 25) and a NEGATIVE SM team bullpen rating in a game have gone 27-30 for -12.20 units when not matched up against similar. This represents an ROI of -21.4%, and it is proof of my belief that the strength of a team’s bullpen has to be accounted for in games.
System Match (SLIGHT FADE): PHILADELPHIA (-148 at MIA)
Teams with strong bullpens (SM rating of 10 or higher) and a poor starting pitcher with a SM rating of -10 or worse have gone 74-93 for -20.77 units when not matched up against the same. This represents an ROI of -12.4%.
System Match (FADE): BALTIMORE (+113 at TB)
Teams with strong bullpens (SM rating of 10 or higher) and an elite starting pitcher with a SM rating of +20 or more have gone 165-87 for +39.32 units, when not matched against the same. This represents an ROI of +15.6%. This is obviously the ultimate scenario. This angle is 18-5 for +11.56 units since I introduced it last Monday.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): NY YANKEES (-285 vs. LAA), MILWAUKEE (+108 at CHC), SAN FRANCISCO (-181 vs. CLE), DETROIT GAME 1 (-327 vs. PIT), ATLANTA (-136 vs. NYM), TAMPA BAY (-137 vs. BAL), LA DODGERS (-272 vs. SD)
Teams with poor bullpens (NEGATIVE SM rating) and a poor starting pitcher with a SM rating of -10 or worse have gone 77-157 for -32.40 units when not matched up against the same. This represents an ROI of -13.8%. This is the double whammy scenario to avoid.
System Matches (FADE ALL): LA ANGELS (+225 at NYY), CHICAGO WHITE SOX GAME 1 (+123 vs. STL), CHICAGO WHITE SOX GAME 2 (+140 vs. STL)
Fade better bullpen overpriced favorites of -190 or higher when 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, 56-23 for +4.51 units. Three straight losses by the NY Yankees bring this closer to negative territory.
System Match (FADE): NY YANKEES (-285 vs LAA)
Back big favorites (-190 or more) with better bullpen ratings and winning percentage >=19% higher than opponent
A 2023 mid-season bullpen ratings discovery found that some big favorites do prove worthy of backing consistently, regardless of the high prices, because the games are absolute mismatches. The last two regular seasons for this system finished at a record of 252-103, for +8.01 units. The ROI on this angle was at +2.3% ROI. For ’25, these teams are off to a very strong start, 83-24 for +20.67 units, a ROI of 19.3%.
System Match (PLAY): DETROIT GAME 1 (-327 vs PIT)
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. For the season, the record is now 190-214 for +10.55 units.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): MINNESOTA (-105 at CIN), COLORADO (+134 at WSH), DETROIT GAME 2 (+115 vs. PIT), MIAMI (+122 vs. PHI), SAN DIEGO (+216 at LAD)
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 ’25, these teams struggled out of the gate, but are now nearly positive at 159-182 for -7.27 units.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): MINNESOTA (-105 at CIN), COLORADO (+134 at WSH), DETROIT GAME 2 (+115 vs. PIT), MIAMI (+122 vs. PHI)
Worse bullpen teams continue to struggle in extending winning streaks
I have found that fading teams with a lesser SM bullpen rating 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 98-97 for +6.22 units (ROI +3.2%). 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%. This has been a very consistent angle, so this year’s results (55-48, +7.68 units) are somewhat surprising.
System Matches (FADE ALL): 2-games – KANSAS CITY (+103 at TEX), CLEVELAND (+148 at SF)
3+ games – CINCINNATI (-115 vs MIN), LA ANGELS (+225 at NYY), LA DODGERS (-272 vs SD)
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 three-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. So far, it is 108-83 for -0.01 units, having recovered from a slow start.

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 11:00 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 #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 ‘23 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 Match (CONSIDER PLAYING): PITTSBURGH GAME 2
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 Matches (PLAY ALL): NY YANKEES, DETROIT GAME 1
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 an 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): CINCINNATI, DETROIT GAME 1 AND GAME 2, TORONTO, SAN FRANCISCO, ST LOUIS GAME 1 AND GAME 2
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 Match (FADE): ATLANTA
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 ‘23 season for +26.1 units and an ROI of +7.3%!
System Match (PLAY UNDER): LAA-NYY
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 #2: Teams wrapping up a series and riding at least a three-game losing streak are 344-357 but for +43.31 units and an ROI of 6.2% over the last three seasons
System Matches (PLAY ALL): MINNESOTA (-105 at CIN), NY YANKEES (-287 vs. LAA), WASHINGTON (-164 vs. COL), ARIZONA (+117 at TOR), SAN FRANCISCO (-181 vs. CLE), PITTSBURGH (+255 at DET), NY METS (+112 at ATL), SAN DIEGO (+216 at LAD)
MLB Series Betting System #4: Road underdogs of +101 to +187 have been a reasonably good investment in the final game of a series, going 577-759 but for +26.26 units and an ROI of 2% over the last three seasons
System Matches (PLAY ALL): COLORADO (+134 at WSH), MILWAUKEE (+104 at CHC), ARIZONA (+117 at TOR), CLEVELAND (+148 at SF), NY METS (+112 at ATL), BALTIMORE (+114 at TB)
MLB Series Betting System #5: Road underdogs of +101 to +187 have been a very good investment in the final game of a series if ending a road trip, going 302-336 but for +80.34 units and a ROI of 12.3% over the last three seasons
System Match (PLAY): COLORADO (+134 at WSH)
MLB Series Betting System #9: Big home favorites of -180 or more closing out a divisional series have been a nice investment lately, going 137-53 but for +17.17 units and a ROI of 9% over the last three seasons
System Match (PLAY): LA DODGERS (-272 vs. SD)
MLB Series Betting System #11: Road teams wrapping up a series after a game in which they lost and scored four or fewer runs have bounced back well with a 545-614 record but for +51.60 units and an ROI of 4.5% over the last three seasons
System Matches (PLAY ALL): MILWAUKEE (+104 at CHC), ARIZONA (+117 at TOR), MINNESOTA (-105 at CIN), NY METS (+112 at ATL), SAN DIEGO (+216 at LAD)
MLB Extreme Stats Systems
The following systems and qualifying plays are from the article titled MLB Extreme Stats Systems, detailing eight different betting systems for betting teams based upon noteworthy stats they accumulated in their previous game
Home teams off blowout losses are solid bets to rebound versus that same opponent
Teams playing at home against the same team after a blowout loss of seven runs or more have been solid wagers over the last 6+ seasons, going 393-375 (51.2%) for +25.43 units of profit. This represents an ROI of 3.3%.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): ATHLETICS (+109 vs. HOU), CHICAGO WHITE SOX GAME 1 (+123 vs. STL)
“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 1807-1720 (51.2%), but oddsmaker overpricing has resulted in a loss of -250.97 units. This represents an ROI of -7.1%, which is significant in the grand scheme of baseball daily betting.
System Matches (FADE ALL): ST LOUIS GAME 1 (-150 at CWS), TAMPA BAY (-139 vs. BAL), HOUSTON (-132 at ATH)
Road teams that didn’t score well 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 1791-2285 (43.9%) for -204.19 units and a ROI of -5% since the start of the 2019 season.
System Matches (FADE ALL): ARIZONA (+117 at TOR), MINNESOTA (-105 at CIN), NY METS (+112 at ATL)
Home teams that scored 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 3665-3213 (53.3%), but they have been a loser for bettors at -492.86 units and a ROI of -7.2%.
System Matches (FADE ALL): DETROIT GAME 1 (-328 vs. PIT), CHICAGO CUBS (-127 vs. MIL), TORONTO (-142 vs. AZ), ATLANTA (-136 vs. NYM), TAMPA BAY (-139 vs. BAL)
Home team hitting slumps don’t last long
MLB home teams coming off a game in which they had four hits or fewer have rebounded quickly with a 1039-901 (53.6%) record in the follow-up contest since the start of the 2018 season. This has resulted in a profit of +7.75 units for backers and an ROI of 0.4%.
System Match (PLAY): NY YANKEES (-281 vs LAA)
Hitting a lot of home runs has a carryover effect for home favorites
Home favorites coming off a game in which they hit 4 or more home runs have proven to be a very good investment for baseball bettors over the last 5+ seasons, going 328-165 (66.5%) for +42.89 units and an ROI of 8.7%!
System Match (PLAY): DETROIT GAME 1 (-328 vs PIT)
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 303-265 (53.3%) for +27.35 units and an ROI of 4.8% since the start of the 2018 season.
System Match (PLAY): ATHLETICS (+109 vs HOU)
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 65-136 skid (-40.45 units, ROI: -20.1%).
System Match (FADE): WASHINGTON (-164 vs COL)
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 18-19 (+12.01 units, ROI: 32.5%) while against all other opponents with lesser records than 61.5% winning percentage, they are just 78-164 (-65.56 units, ROI: -27.1%) since the start of the 2021 season.
System Match (FADE): WASHINGTON (-164 vs. COL)
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 225-233 run (+16.53 units, ROI: 3.6%).
System Matches (PLAY ALL): CHICAGO WHITE SOX GAME 1 (+123 vs. STL), NY YANKEES (-287 vs. LAA), WASHINGTON (-164 vs. COL), SAN FRANCISCO (-181 vs. CLE)
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 107-117 (-53.84 units, ROI: -24%) in the next contest since the start of the 2021 season.
System Match (FADE): LA DODGERS (-287 vs. SD)
