What are the MLB Consensus Picks By Vegas Insider?
The Consensus Picks is a detailed report that provides a breakdown of selections for each matchup based on the three most popular pre-game betting markets for MLB bettors: Moneyline, Total (Over-Under), and Run Line.
For each of these betting markets, the free MLB Consensus shows a percentage breakdown and the total number of selections made on each matchup.
These numbers are a great handicapping tool as bettors can see a quick snapshot of which way bettors are leaning on a moneyline, total, or run line wager.
Our MLB Matchups offer a more comprehensive betting trends percentage breakdown from the action that operators are receiving on specific games.
Knowing the betting public plays through these operators, the majority of the leans usually trend toward favorites with moneyline wagers and the over-in total bets.
For the Picks at Vegas Insider, the data shows all available selections made by our MLB expert handicappers.
Unlike the majority of bettors, our MLB expert handicappers have a great pulse on the diamond, and rest assured, we also track and show that experience with our leaderboards and documented records.
Understanding the MLB Betting Consensus Picks
The VegasInsider MLB Public Consensus Picks provide betting percentages on three different markets and the point spread is the most popular.
In the below example of the MLB matchup between Seattle and Houston, there are a total of seven selections posted on the three markets from our MLB experts.
Moneyline: 7
Total: 1
Run Line: 1
The moneyline betting market had seven handicapper picks and all two were on the Mariners and five were on the Astros, therefore 71% of the consensus was on Houston for this matchup.
The total or over-under market also had one pick on the ‘over’ or high side.
The Run Line only had 1 handicapper pick posted and it was on Seattle, which was a 1-0 lean or 100% on the Mariners +1.5 on the run line wager.
MLB Betting Consensus Picks Record
What differentiates the MLB Consensus Picks at Vegas Insider is our presentation of the records based on previous-day trends.
Users can switch between past days or weeks to see how well the free MLB Consensus Picks performed.
The overall Consensus Picks Record grades each matchup and betting market that had selections posted. The three grades are Win, Loss, and Push.
We identify a Push as a tie and in the case of our MLB Consensus Picks, that would be identified as a 50-50% split.
In the above example, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 5-3 and there were ten handicapper picks on this matchup.
The Moneyline was a Loss since the Padres lost the game, while the Total was a Win with the ‘over’ cashing and the Run Line was a Win since the Dodgers (-1.5) won by two runs.
Fade or Follow Consensus Picks
The MLB Consensus Picks are a great handicapping tool for bettors with different styles.
Some users like to go against the grain and play the opposite of the betting public and those individuals are often referred to as ‘contrarian’ bettors.
The bettors that often side with the higher percentages in each matchup would be defined as ‘chalky’ players.
Some might scoff at that term knowing that the favorites do cash more often than not on the MLB diamond.
Our advice is to take a look at our free MLB Consensus Picks and then compare them to the data in the MLB Matchups index.
If you tend to see a large following of Vegas Insider experts on an underdog or under wager and the betting public on the opposite sides, then it’s probably a great idea to back our group instead of the consensus.
