About MLB Consensus


You handicap the Red Sox vs Yankees game and see that the baseball consensus number favour Boston 76.4%. Is this a solid indicator that the Red Sox are a good bet at -135 on the moneyline or does this mean you should be digging deeper into the trends and stats to find reasons to bet the Yankees at +125. What you do with this baseball consensus depends on how you handicap MLB games, but having access to it is critical to your success.

Some strategies call for bettors to simply fade (or bet against) the MLB consensus, because handicappers believe that the betting public is wrong more often than it is right. Many casual or recreational bettors enjoy betting favorites or wager on the chalk regardless of the moneyline.

Here at Odds Shark, we gather picks and opinions from our visitors and from fans on numerous other sites. The goal is to create the industry's best baseball consensus and to show which online sportsbooks are showing the best moneylines or run lines on the games.

Add your own opinion by clicking on matchup report links. Together, all baseball fans contribute to percentages representing a solid cross-section of MLB betting society. Bookmark this important page and tell your friends to check it out as well.
