Types of MLB bets
For those learning how to bet on baseball, these are the most popular types of wagers and what they mean.
Moneyline: This is a straightforward bet on which team will win the game. The margin of victory doesn’t matter as long as you correctly pick the winning team, with the odds and the size of your wager determining your potential payout.
Spread/run line: The team that’s the favorite will almost always have a run line of -1.5. This means that a run line bet on that team will be successful if and only if the team wins by two runs or more. The underdog will typically have a +1.5 run line, meaning that a bet on that team will win if the team either loses by a single run or wins by any score.
Over/under (total): This allows you to bet on the total number of runs the two competing teams will combine to score in the game. Sportsbooks set the total, and you can choose whether to bet the over or the under. If the total is 10.5, for example, an over bet would win as long as the teams combine to score 11 runs or more by the end of the game.
No run first inning: This bet is exactly what it sounds like, which is a wager on whether there will be any runs in the first inning of a game. Part of the appeal of this type of bet is that it gets a quick result. One way or another, by the time the game reaches the top of the second inning, you’ll know if you’ve won.
Player prop (total bases, for example): This is a bet on an individual player’s accomplishments. In this example, it’s a bet on how many bases a hitter will gain through the course of the game with his batting alone. For instance, if that player collected two singles and one double in a game, his total bases would be four. Walks, steals and other advancements that don’t come as a result of his own hitting do not count toward his total bases.
How to read MLB odds
The simple way to understand odds is that a plus sign indicates an underdog, while a minus sign indicates a favorite. The higher the number next to the plus or the minus, the bigger an underdog or favorite the sportsbook considers that bet to be. For instance, a $100 bet on a +250 underdog would win you $250 (in addition to the return of your original stake) if that bet won. But if you were betting on a -250 favorite, a bet of $250 would stand to win $100 (plus the return of your stake).
MLB FAQs
In every state where sports betting is legal, yes, sportsbooks typically offer odds and multiple types of bets for every MLB game throughout the regular season and the playoffs.
One of the most popular MLB bets is the moneyline bet, which means simply picking one team to win the game by any margin. Another popular option is betting the over/under on the total number of runs that the two teams will combine to score by the end of the game.
Run line bets operate similarly to point spreads in other sports. In the case of baseball, however, the favorite almost always has a run line of -1.5, meaning that a bet on that team only hits if the team wins by two runs or more. A bet on a team with a +1.5 run line means that the bet hits if the team wins, or loses by only one run.
Futures allow you to bet on certain outcomes — which team will win the World Series, which will win the AL/NL pennant, division winners, etc. — well in advance of those things actually happening. The advantage is that the odds are typically better at the start of the season, when the field is still wide open and there are many games still to play. As the season winds down and the picture becomes clearer, odds on the teams still in contention will get narrower.
Live betting, aka in-game betting, is often especially popular in sports like baseball. Sportsbooks will sometimes offer changing, dynamic odds as the game goes on. As one team gains a lead or changes pitchers, those odds can see big shifts, and your risk and payout will depend on what the odds are at the time you place your bet.
