If you ask many "experts" they will tell you that MLB Picks is the easiest sport in which to make money. That's rather amusing since 90% of all bettors actually lose money. Looking deeper into these so called experts they will also tell you that the best way for profitable MLB Picks is to grab the small favorites. Considering that even the best teams win only 60% of the time, betting on any favorites larger than -135 is a sure way to the pure house. So what's an MLB Picks bettor to do? One way that I have been profitable over the years is to consider MLB Picks underdogs. Not only can you profit but your winning percentage can actually be less than 50%. So, with all of that being said let's take a look at the profits made this MLB Picks season thus far if you were to have bet underdogs in the American League. Below are the records and profits made on the MLB Odds money line:

BAL 20-31 (-535)

BOS 10-5 (+680)

CHW 20-19 (+740)

CLE 14-23 (-430)

DET 12-14 (+40)

KC 13-27 (-950)

LAA 18-17 (+770)

MIN 15-19 (-35)

NYY 3-8 (-470)

OAK 17-27 (-495)

SEA 16-24 (-365)

TB 13-10 (+680)

TEX 20-18 (+760)

TOR 14-17 (+100)

The bottom line is that ignoring Underdogs when considering a profitable MLB Picks this season is leaving money on the table. These winning dogs thus far have produce $3270 on $100 wagers.
