May 12th Dough Drop: The Money is Stacked on Cubs and Rangers

Your Daily Bread of Betting Insights – May 12, 2025

🌟 Baker’s Note
What’s good, dough-stackers? We took a breather this weekend (no picks, no sweat), but today’s action is hot off the press! Sharps are slamming the Rangers and Cubs ML and run lines—value alert! Meanwhile, the bar crowd’s tossing 65% of bets on the Guardians’ run line at -155, but the money’s light at 43%—fade time, fam! Philly’s moneyline at -175 is another lock with 77% cash and 78% bets, and Brunson’s over 27.5 points at -115 is begging to be stacked. Sip your brew, build your slip, and let’s bake some winnings this Monday!
