Why Prefer Baseball Totals Over Money Line in MLB Betting?
Baseball betting can be a bit daunting for most bettors, as many are bowled over by the moneyline and others simply cannot understand the run lines. Making money from MLB betting by wagering on moneyline is not such an exciting option, as MLB lines may denote one team at –150 and the other at +135. Therefore, the only real hope for the gamblers is baseball totals, which can be profitable for your bankroll as the risk of losses is greatly reduced by the oddmakers.
Earlier the juice on MLB betting odds for totals was not more than a quarter (-125), but with increasing popularity of totals bet, the oddmakers may even take –140 for some games. Before betting on baseball totals, you should know the digits well; more than 90% of the totals are between 7 and 11 with 7, 9 and 11 being the prominent figures. Moreover, you cannot neglect the number of games that end up in a tie at 3–3, 4–4 or 5–5, late in the game, so someone got to win these close game.
Besides, you need to be wary of certain factors that may affect the totals like starting pitchers, bullpens, how a team is hitting the ball, previous history etc. You may ride the streaks out, but you need to be cautious as well. Ballparks, weather and umpires are other important factors that shouldn’t be overlooked when playing totals in MLB betting, whether its World Series Betting or regular season betting.
