Luis Arraez and the Minnesota Twins host the Cleveland Indians in an AL Central battle on Saturday night. Caesars sportsbooks have the Indians as modest -117 road favorites.
MLB betting odds are on the board for a 15-game Saturday schedule, one game less than expected after the San Francisco Giants-San Diego Padres tilt was postponed by COVID issues. Among the marquee matchups is an AL Central battle between the Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins.
Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on MLB opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Saturday’s games.
MLB line movement
The Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins resume their three-game set in an 8:07 p.m. ET contest. On Friday night, the Twins posted a 3-1 victory to move to 7-2 in their last nine, while the Indians have lost four straight. For Saturday’s game, Caesars books opened at Indians -116/Twins +106 and were at -117/+107 late Friday night.
The Dodgers had Friday off, returning home after taking two of three from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Meanwhile, the Astros continue what has been a terrible road swing, losing four of five against the Oakland Athletics to fall to 1-8 in their last nine games. Caesars opened at Dodgers -155/Astros +145 and moved just one penny through late Friday night, to -156/+146 for an 8:07 p.m. ET start.
The Chicago White Sox are arguably one of the pleasant surprises of the shortened season, sitting atop the AL Central with a 28-16 record. Chicago held off the visiting Detroit Tigers 4-3 Friday night and is on a 6-1 run entering Saturday’s 7:10 p.m. ET meeting with Detroit. The line for this game was not posted by late Friday night.
MLB public betting
The Consensus leaned toward the Twins, who were attracting 61 percent of picks against the Indians through Friday night. And it’s no surprise at all that the Dodgers were drawing 68 percent of early Consensus picks against the struggling Astros.
