MLB Opening Week: Early ATS Trends to Watch

The 2026 MLB season is underway and early against-the-spread data is already revealing patterns. Road favorites are covering at a 58% clip through the first week, continuing a trend we saw late last season. The Dodgers (-1.5) have covered in 4 of their first 6 games, while the Blue Jays are emerging as a reliable home cover team. Keep an eye on NL East matchups where divisional familiarity is leading to tighter margins than oddsmakers expect.
