Monday’s MLB roster features 13 games for bettors to choose from, but two are drawing the attention of expert bettors.
All the information to be presented is extracted from the Action Network PRO Reportwhich provides betting percentages and five “signs” (hard money, big money, PRO systems, model advantage, and expert picks) that help distinguish certain plays.
Three picks in those two games trigger most of the above signals. Without further ado, let’s examine the recommendations.

Game 1: St. Louis Cardinals vs. New York Mets, 7:10 p.m. ET
The Cardinals and Mets will kick off a four-game series Monday at Citi Field, but punters are looking for the total here.
We’ve seen strong action in the starting number of 8.5 races, which has largely held steady. That said, there are fewer than eight races available at +100, the best price on the board. Also, the big money rollers are pretty supportive of the low here. At the time of writing, that side has received only 38 per cent of all bets against 81 per cent of the total handling.
This side also has a model projection edge. According to our MLB power ratings, the total between these two teams should be set at 6.99 runs, giving bettors a full expected streak of value.
Finally, two of The Action Network’s top MLB betting experts are backing tonight to round out all four signs in favor of this bet.
PRO Report Pick for Mets vs. Cardinals:
Less than 8 runs (+100) – BetMGM
Game 2: Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs, 7:40 p.m. ET
In this game, both a side and a total are recommended with the first triggering four signals.
Although the Pirates are not the favorites on the road, strong bettors have arrived in Pittsburgh. More… the high-rollers are backing Pittsburgh’s money line pretty strongly: As of this writing, the Pirates have seen 52 percent of all money line bets vs. 83 percent of total handling. .
In addition, there is also a model projection edge for this side. The best price available on the Pirates is +140, but our MLB power ratings make him a +110 underdog for the Cubs. Lastly, two of The Action Network’s top MLB betting experts are backing the Pirates to complete all four signals in their favor.

Looking at the total, sharp money goes to the top, but three of the remaining four signals trigger the bottom. The big money is piling up as that side has received just 39 per cent of all bets against 82 per cent of the total.
There is also an Action PRO system in favor of the lower ones: Wrigley Field Unders – which has a historical win rate of 60 percent and a return on investment of 16 percent. Finally, one of The Action Network’s top MLB pundits is endorsing the under to give it a third sign.
