MLB expert predictions and odds today: Royals vs. Twins, Dodgers vs. D’Backs

Only 10 games feature in tonight’s Major League Baseball schedule, but expert bettors are targeting two games in particular.

All the information about to be presented is drawn from the Action Network PRO Report, which provides betting percentages and five “signals” — sharp money, big money, PRO systems, model edge and expert picks — that help distinguish certain plays.

Two sides — both underdogs — trigger a majority of the above signals today. So before the games get underway, let’s examine the report’s recommendations.
