Are you ready for some baseball? Some baseball, you said! Its a 7-month, 162-game season, which means theres plenty of opportunity to place your wagers. In fact, from April 4th through October theres rarely a day on the calendar that doesnt have at least a few MLB games.
Along with the large volume of games, there comes a variety of betting choices. Basic bets include the money line, run line and over/under, while numerous propositions are also offered. As with any other type of sportsbook wagering, many of these bets can be parlayed in an attempt to increase your return.
MONEY LINE:
The most common baseball wager is the money line. A typical money line for baseball would look like this:
Florida Marlins D. Willis+120
New York Mets T. Glavine-130
The top team is the away team. Next to each team the scheduled starting pitcher is listed. The plus symbol in front of the number indicates this team is the underdog, while the minus symbol denotes the favorite. The home team in a wager is always listed below or last, unless otherwise noted.
With the money line above, for every $10 you wager on the Marlins, if they win, youd get $12 plus...
