Premium Top 5 Plays 7/27
MoonPicks98 Premium Top 5 Plays Recap: Discipline Pays Off With Another Profitable Day
Final Record: 2-2-1 (+ Slight Profit)Wins: Chicago Cubs ML, Toronto Blue Jays ML Losses: Seattle Mariners ML, Milwaukee Brewers ML
Void: Cincinnati Reds ML
Not every profitable day comes from going 5-0.
Sometimes the best example of long-term sports betting success is a day like this one. Despite finishing with just two wins, two losses, and one void, our card still ended slightly profitable because we focused on finding value instead of simply chasing the highest win percentage.
Sports betting is a marathon, not a sprint, and Monday's card was another reminder of why disciplined bankroll management matters.
Pick #1: Seattle Mariners Moneyline (-122) ❌ Loss
Seattle entered the game with several factors we liked.
Favorable starting pitching matchup
Strong bullpen advantage
Positive recent form
Reasonable price below our maximum odds threshold
Unfortunately, baseball doesn't always follow the numbers.
The Mariners struggled to capitalize offensively, and despite entering with one of the better projections on the board, they were unable to get the job done.
Result: ❌ Loss
Pick #2: Cincinnati Reds Moneyline (-147) ➖ Void
The Reds looked like one of the stronger favorites on Monday's slate before the game was ultimately ruled a void due to weather and the make up game will be played on 7/28/26
While voids can be disappointing when you're excited about a play, they're simply part of betting.
The important takeaway?
A void preserves your bankroll and removes unnecessary variance.
With this game playing on 7/28/26 we have a breakdown on what to look for in both of these games HERE
Result: ➖ Void
Pick #3: Chicago Cubs Moneyline (-113) ✅ Win
This was one of our favorite value plays.
The Cubs offered:
Excellent price
Better recent offensive production
Favorable matchup
Strong value compared to implied probability
At only -113, this was exactly the type of wager we love making.
Result: ✅ Win
Pick #4: Toronto Blue Jays Moneyline (+111) ✅ Win
The Blue Jays represented our biggest value play of the day.
Getting a quality team as an underdog is always attractive when the numbers support it.
Our model liked:
Offensive matchup
Starting pitching
Positive expected value
Plus-money return
These are the types of bets that separate profitable bettors over an entire season.
Winning an underdog at +111 offsets multiple favorites that don't cash.
Result: ✅ Win
Pick #5: Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline (-127) ❌ Loss
Milwaukee was another matchup that graded well before first pitch.
The Brewers entered with advantages in several key metrics, but baseball has a way of producing unpredictable outcomes.
Even the strongest handicap can lose on any given night.
That's why bankroll management is just as important as picking winners.
Result: ❌ Loss

Why This Card Still Made Money
Many bettors focus solely on win-loss record.
Professional bettors focus on expected value.
The winning +111 underdog from Toronto helped offset one of the losing favorites, while the void eliminated additional risk. That combination allowed the card to finish in the black despite an even record.
This is exactly why we don't judge our process by one game or even one day. Consistently finding value at the right prices is what drives long-term profitability.
The MoonPicks98 Approach
Our goal isn't to promise perfect cards.
Our goal is to consistently identify value, manage risk, and put ourselves in a
position to be profitable over hundreds of bets throughout the season.
Every pick we release is backed by research that includes:
Advanced matchup analysis
Starting pitcher evaluations
Bullpen comparisons
Line movement and market analysis
Value-based betting principles
Strict bankroll management
Some nights we'll sweep the board.
Some nights we'll split.
What matters is maintaining discipline and trusting the process over the long run.
Final Thoughts
Monday wasn't flashy—but it was another example of why disciplined betting wins over time.
A 2-2-1 record doesn't jump off the page, yet it still produced a slightly profitable day thanks to smart pricing and value selection.
That's the approach we'll continue to bring every day at MoonPicks98.
