MLB Betting FAQ
How do MLB run lines work?
The run line is baseball's version of the point spread. The favorite is typically -1.5 runs, meaning they must win by 2 or more runs. The underdog is +1.5, meaning they can lose by 1 run or win outright. Run line odds adjust based on each team's likelihood of covering.
What are MLB totals (over/under)?
Totals betting involves predicting whether the combined score of both teams will be over or under a set number. For example, if the total is set at 8.5, you bet on whether the final combined score will be 9+ (over) or 8 or less (under).
How does moneyline betting work in baseball?
Moneyline betting is simply picking which team will win the game. Unlike other sports, baseball moneylines are the most popular bet type due to the lower-scoring nature of the game. Favorites have negative odds (e.g., -150) and underdogs have positive odds (e.g., +130).
When are MLB lines released?
Opening lines for MLB games are typically released the night before or early morning of game day, once starting pitchers are confirmed. Lines can move significantly based on pitching matchups and weather conditions.
