Find the Best Base­ball Bet­ting Option
The most com­mon type of base­ball bet­ting option is known as the money line and can be found at online sports­books like Lines­Maker. This type of bet involves wager­ing on the out­come of the game. Point spread has no affect on this type of base­ball bet.

While money lines are the most com­mon type of base­ball bet­ting, other options do exist as well. One option is lever­age your risk by only bet­ting on listed pitch­ers. In this case, the action will depend on both pitch­ers who are listed actu­ally start­ing. In the event one, or even both, of the listed pitch­ers miss the start then there will be no action on the bet and your wager is returned.

Bet­tors can also choose an over/under totals bet. This type of bet is based on the total num­ber of runs that is scored by both teams. For exam­ple, in this type of bet if the game is posted at 7 and the com­bined total num­ber of runs for both teams adds up to less than 7 then the under bet wins. If the com­bined num­ber of runs adds up to more than 7; how­ever, then over bet wins. In the event the com­bined total hits exactly on 7 then the bet is a push.

Another option is known as the run line. This is sim­i­lar to a stan­dard point spread. A run line is fixed at 1.5 points. This means that a favorite would need to win the game with a min­i­mum of two runs ahead in order for the bet to pay off. The under­dog could lose by one and the bet would still win. This is a pop­u­lar type of base­ball bet because it allows bet­tors to bet on a favorite with­out wager­ing as much money.
