Bet Labs' Orioles vs Cubs Best Bet: System Suggests Under
By Bet Labs
Our "Wrigley Field Unders" system focuses exclusively on Cubs home games, where wind direction is a major scoring variable. When wind blows in or across (in or from sides) and the total opens between 8-13, unders become highly valuable. Wrigley is uniquely sensitive to weather due to its field orientatio, making it the premier ballpark for wind-based betting edges.
Overall, this system has generated a 16% ROI as it has cashed on 60% of its picks 304-201-27. This season, the system is 9-5-1 (64%) and has generated a 21% ROI.
