Sunday MLB Gold: Why Underdogs Keep Paying
Why this one day of the week is baseball's most overlooked edge.

Ever notice how some people seem to win big on the weekend while you’re left nursing another busted parlay? It’s not luck, it’s a pattern. And at WagerLens, we’ve been tracking one that’s quietly printing money all season.
The Trend: Sunday Underdog Run Lines
Turns out, Sunday underdogs have been crushing the run line in 2025, with a 60.9% win rate generating over 59 units. And no, this isn’t a small sample fluke, it’s backed by sharp data and mispriced markets.
Here’s why Sundays are different:
Key players rest. It’s getaway day, and managers rotate lineups—especially favorites.
The public still bets favorites. Casuals don’t account for lineup drops or bullpen fatigue.
Underdogs fight harder. Late-series desperation and motivation give them extra juice.
Bullpens get shaky. Top arms are usually burned out by Sunday.
Teams That Thrive on Sundays
Three squads are especially worth watching:
Mets: Better Sunday ERA and more run production = double-digit ROI in Sunday dog spots.
Royals: 8–3 as road Sunday dogs. Don’t let their overall record fool you.
Blue Jays: 7–2 run line record as Sunday underdogs. Power bats feast on tired arms.
