This matchup on Sunday Night Baseball fits a historically profitable betting system developed by the Action Network that reports a return on investment (ROI) of 7%.

If you had bet $100 on each game that has fit this particular betting algorithm, you'd be up about $19,000 since 2005 — that's roughly $1,150 per year.

And this is over a massive sample size: 2,500+ games over the last 17 odd seasons.

The betting system incorporates public tracking data also proprietary to the Action Network.

Cardinals vs. Phillies Betting System Pick

This betting system fades the public on totals between two good teams.

When both teams in a given matchup have a winning record and the over or under has fewer than 35% of the total individual tickets, that over or under has won 55% of the time since 2005.

That's an aforementioned 7% return on investment, a very solid clip for a betting system with this large of a sample size.

This vibes with the under tonight, which has just 31% of the total bets. The best price on the market is with Caesars at u7.5 (+105).

While today might be the day to cash in, keep in mind that this system applies to over 150 MLB games per year. In order to maximize that 7% ROI, make sure to tail this system whenever it lights up for the rest of the season.

PRO System Pick: Under 7.5 (+105) or better
