Three consecutive games with double-digit run outputs have most bettors expecting more than nine runs to be scored in tonight's NLCS Game 5.

In addition to the high-spending sharps hitting the under, one of our PRO Systems is also suggesting the under to be the right side tonight.

Sharp Action

The line move away from the popular side serves as a pretty good indication of sharp action on its own, but confirming that, two Sports Insights Bet Signals have been triggered on the under, with none popping on the other side.

Sharp Action edge: Under

Making that sharp side even more clear, the 31% of bettors on the under have generated a whopping 95% of money at the time of writing. That could certainly come down as first pitch approaches, but I'd imagine the discrepancy to remain significant, meaning bigger bettors — the ones more likely to be sharps — are on the under.

Big Money edge: Under

PRO Systems

Thanks to the over's popularity, the under fits into one of our PRO betting systems: Contrarian Unders for Winning Teams.

The system has a 55.1% win rate since 2005 on a sample of more than 2,600 games.
