Bet Labs' Rockies vs Marlins Best Bet: Expect a Low-Scoring Game
By Bet Labs
Our "Public Fades Humidity = Unders" system has a 20% lifetime ROI and a 15% ROI this season over 58 picks (35-23).
This system capitalizes on an overlooked weather edge when betting MLB totals. It focuses on regular-season games in which elevated humidity — ranging from 45 to 95 — intersects with moderate temperatures and neutral wind patterns. Despite assumptions that humidity boosts offense, public bettors often fade these conditions, which actually correlate with suppressed scoring in certain environments.
Pick: Under 8 (-106)

Bet Labss Padres vs Giants Best Bet: System Suggests Over/Under Play
By Bet Labs
This matchup fits our "Contrarian Unders for Winning Teams" system as both teams have solid win percentages (51%–100%) and the public is heavily favoring the over (≤35% under bets).
In matchups between winning teams, sportsbooks often inflate totals due to perceived offensive capability, though these teams also tend to have stronger pitching and tighter late-game execution, which leads to a profitable edge on the under.
Overall, this system is 1777-1545-149 (53%) with a 4% ROI. This season, it's 92-78-2 (54%) with a 3% ROI.
Pick: Under 7 (+105)
