MLB betting offers moneylines, run lines (baseball's spread), and totals. With 162 games per team per season, line shopping is essential.
MLB moneylines see more variation than any other sport because of the large number of games and the role of starting pitchers. A favorite listed at -150 at one book might be -130 at another — a significant difference.
The standard MLB run line is -1.5/+1.5. Betting the underdog at +1.5 gives you an extra run of cushion, while taking the favorite at -1.5 increases your payout compared to the moneyline.
MLB totals typically range from 7.5 to 9.5 runs. Finding the best total number (e.g., 8.0 vs 8.5) across books can be the difference between a win and a push.
