The Action Network's proprietary tracking data has indicated a trove of sharp bettors on this Wild Card Round series between the Rays and Guardians.

The sharp bettors are targeting the total and the moneyline for this Game 2.

These playoff totals have been historically low on account of great pitching, but the sharps are fading prevailing notions for this mid-afternoon game.

Tampa Bay Rays v. Cleveland Guardians Sharp Pick

The sharps are riding with the under and the Raysmoneyline tonight.

The market-best price for the Rays' ML is +102 at BetRivers.

The best price for the under is with FanDuel at u6 (-110).

Make sure to price shop for this contest. While +102 is a great price on the Rays, the market-worst price at -107 with PointsBet is awful in comparison.

Betting with PB tonight would cut down on the value by about 2%, a very, very substantial degree over the long run.

Tailing the wise guys and fading retail bettors is how you develop a profit in the long run.

In the short term, of course, variance is a massive constraint. You'll lose a few bets along the way.

The best method to ensure a positive ROI is to bet — with the same unit sizing — each time there's sharp action on a particular pick.

Pick: Rays +102 or better | Under 6 runs (+100) or better
