Dodgers vs Cardinals Prediction, Betting Analysis
After the Dodgers dropped yesterday's matchup 2-1, they are now a prime target for Evan Abrams' "Revenge Spot Favorites" system as they aim to salvage a game from this series with the Cardinals.
The Revenge Spot Favorites system in MLB moneyline betting backs quality teams coming off a narrow loss to the same opponent. These teams have winning records, substantial average run differentials, and are moderately favored by the market. The strategy targets clubs in rhythm, whether on a steady home stand or road trip, far enough into the season to have a clear identity and drive.
When they face a recent opponent who edged them by only a few runs, these teams often respond with sharper focus, particularly when they remain the favored side. This system capitalizes on that bounce-back potential where form and motivation converge.
This system has achieved a 10% ROI since its inception in 2006 and is currently 33-21 this season, with a 6% return on investment (ROI).
