HOW TO BET ON BASEBALL GAMES

Betting on baseball isn’t rocket science. Here we’ll teach you the keys to understanding baseball odds. To explain baseball odds, we’ll break down many different types of bets – providing examples for each. You’ll find baseball odds explained in a way that makes them as easy to understand as possible.

HOW TO READ BASEBALL ODDS

 Reading Major League Baseball odds is not unlike reading football odds. As with football, there are still spreads, moneylines, and over/under wagers available, and baseball lines are fairly straightforward.

BASEBALL MONEYLINE

How does the moneyline work in baseball? As is the case in football and basketball, a moneyline bet is a wager on the outcome of the game. The favorite will have “negative” odds, and the underdog will have odds starting with a “+.”

Here’s an example of a baseball moneyline bet:

The Philadelphia Phillies (home team) are favored to beat the Colorado Rockies (road). If the Phillies have moneyline odds of -180 and the Rockies have odds of +220, then:

• A $180 moneyline bet on the Phillies returns $100.

• A $100 moneyline bet on the Rockies returns $220.

Remember: moneyline baseball bets are strictly wagers on who will win the game, regardless of the final score.

BASEBALL POINT/RUN SPREAD

Baseball spread betting is another way to bet on America’s pastime. Major League Baseball point spreads are not quite as large as NFL or NBA spreads, because the final scores of baseball games aren’t quite as lopsided.

Here is an example of baseball spread betting:

The Philadelphia Phillies (home team) are -1.5 home favorites against the visiting Rockies. In this situation:

• A spread bet on the Phillies means the bettor needs the Phillies to win by at least two runs for the bet to cash.

• A spread bet on the Rockies means the bettor needs the Rockies to either win the game or lose by only one run.

The Betway Insider blog offers baseball picks against the spread and MLB ATS betting odds during the regular season (which typically starts in late March).

BASEBALL OVER/UNDER

How does the over/under work in baseball? Just like in football and basketball, over/under baseball bets are wagers on the cumulative score posted by the game’s two teams.

Here’s an example:

• The Phillies vs. Rockies over/under is set at 8.5 total runs.

• For the over bet to win, the combined score of the two teams must be at least nine runs. If eight runs or fewer are scored, then the bet won’t cash.

Over/under bets in baseball are a fun way to stay involved in the action throughout a game.

LIVE BASEBALL BETTING

Baseball live betting and college baseball live betting are fun ways to stay involved in the action once the game has already started. The strategy for live betting is different from other betting done before the game.

Here’s an example:

• The Phillies start a game as -180 moneyline favorites against the Rockies but already trail 4-0 in the third inning. As a result, the Phillies’ moneyline has moved to +200.

• Placing a live bet on the Phillies is riskier at this point, but there are still six innings to go, and that risk offers a far bigger cash payout than any moneyline bet on the Phillies placed before the game.

BASEBALL PLAYER PROPS

What is a baseball player prop or an MLB player prop? A baseball player prop bet is a bet on a specific player to achieve something during the course of a game. Player prop bets are some of the most popular MLB prop bets.

Here’s a player-prop example:

• The Phillies’ star outfielder Bryce Harper has +350 odds to hit a home run against the Rockies.

• A player prop would involve a bet on Harper to hit a home run (+350). It’s far from guaranteed that he will hit that homer, but the risk/reward is tempting.

BASEBALL PARLAYS

What is a baseball parlay? A baseball parlay has multiple legs, meaning bettors need MULTIPLE outcomes to all hit in order for the bet to cash. While parlays are riskier, the payout is far greater.

Here’s an example of baseball parlay betting:

• The Phillies are -180 home favorites to beat the Rockies.

• The Cleveland Guardians are -130 home favorites to beat the Cincinnati Reds.

• A bettor places a parlay wager on both the Phillies and Guardians to win. The payout would be far greater than either -180 or -130, but both the Phillies and Guardians would have to win for the bet to cash.

BASEBALL SAME-GAME PARLAY  

MLB same-game parlays and college baseball same-game parlays are fun ways to track multiple bets within the same event. SGP’s involve a minimum two bets being placed for the same game.

Here’s an example:

• The Phillies are -180 home favorites against the Rockies.

• Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper has +350 odds to hit a home run.

• A bettor places a same-game parlay on the Phillies to win and Harper to hit a home run. That increases the payout if both legs hit!
