City of Baltimore is Home to the 2 Best Trends in Sports Betting
The city of Baltimore may not even championship-caliber sports teams right now, but they have a lot to be proud of in the world of sports betting.
They're the home of two teams who currently hold the best active sports betting trends in all of North America. The Baltimore Orioles have been cashing tickets for their faithful backers for weeks on end, and the Baltimore Ravens continue to win money for any person brave enough to bet on the NFL Preseason.
Let's dive into the two trends that have taken the sports betting world by storm.
Orioles Are Best Underdog Bet in Baseball
As our very own Joe Summers points out, the Orioles have been on fire as underdogs. They have gone 22-4 on the underdog un line over their last 26 games.
22-4. I'm a coward for not going moneyline https://t.co/NXMC2jXlzt

As a result, the Orioles have been by far the most profitable team to bet on this MLB season. If you look at their moneyline, they're 61-55 overall and 48-50 as an underdog. If you bet $100 on them in each of their games so far this season, you'd be up a profit of $2,511. That's some serious coin.
Now let's switch sports and look at the Ravens.
Ravens Are an Auto-Bet in NFL Preseason
Every sports bettor worth their salt knew just how good the Ravens were in the preseason heading into their Week 1 matchup against the Titans. And what did they do? They won and covered the spread. Again.
Baltimore is now 26-4 against the spread in their last 30 preseason games. They're also on a current active spread of covering in 10-straight preseason contests.
At this point, you should just continue to back the trend for the fun of it.
But, it's worth noting that sportsbooks might have finally caught on and have become committed to ending the streak. They're the biggest favorites in Week 2 action, and it's not even close.
Are sportsbooks reacting to the Ravens' insane 26-4 preseason ATS tear? Well, they're the biggest favorite for this week's preseason games at -6.5 vs Arizona. That's the biggest favorite they've been during the 30-game trend.

Even if it does end against the Cardinals this week, it's been a hell of a ride.
Shoutout to the city of Baltimore. These trends are the best things it's produced since The Wire.
