Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Matt's Analysis:
Michael Busch has homered in three straight games and is 7 for 14 with six RBIs in that span. He's hitting cleanup in a Cubs' lineup that'll face walk-prone Randy Vasquez Tuesday. And Vasquez gets crushed by lefties, which Busch is. It's a recipe for another big game.
