MLB Baseball Betting Info on Odds Shark

Betting on baseball is actually more popular in terms of overall bets than even the NFL at many sportsbooks. Not that MLB wagering rivals NFL betting in terms of popularity, but in terms of how many games are available for betting and how long the season runs. What it means is there is a constant need for and interest in baseball odds, matchup reports, game previews, trends analysis and more from the exhibition schedule in March through the end of October each year.

And that’s what you will find here at Odds Shark if you are a serious MLB bettor or a casual one. Learn about runline and moneyline wagering and learn what all the data scrolling across your TV screen each day means in the betting world.

MLB Baseball Betting

Did you know you can lose more than half of your baseball bets and still turn a profit? Yup, win 40-45% of your MLB wagers and still be ahead. The reason is that baseball odds – and the most popular form of MLB betting – focuses on moneylines. Instead of a point spread, MLB odds adopt a different way to represent the line. Instead of Boston being 1.5-point favorites (meaning they have to win by two runs to win the bet), they are -180 baseball moneyline favorites. The Yankees might be +160 moneyline underdogs. Betting MLB baseball totals is also popular and requires heavy research into bullpens, starting pitchers, even umpire stats. To learn more about MLB odds – including baseball runline odds – check out the Betting 101 section to improve your odds of winning.
