This Wednesday afternoon matinee has big moneyed bettors all over one side of the total.

The Action Network’s proprietary tracking data has discerned that this pick also fades the public — but still has the majority of the smart money.

That means sharps are slapping big money on this particular total line, whose best marketplace price is with DraftKings.

This game aligns with another matinee game between the Astros and Rangers that also has a system play. The historically profitable, 8% ROI pick for that contest can be parsed through here.

Both of those 2:10 p.m. ET start times will air on MLB.tv this afternoon.

The big money is all over this game to go under its total runs.

The best line on the market that sharp bettors are targeting is with DraftKings at under 8 runs (+100).

While about 62% of the retail bettors are betting the over for this line — sometimes as high as o8.5 — about 94% of the smart money is on the under.

It's a ridiculous split, where 38% of the individual bets but a whopping 94% of the total money is on this game u8 runs.

Pick: Under 8 runs (+100) or better
