MLB Betting, Odds & Analysis

MLB Betting has Grown in 2024

Baseball is widely considered “America’s Pastime.” Many people have fond memories of eating hotdogs on a warm summer day at the ballpark. Baseball is a sport with a rich history, and while many of the sport’s traditions continue to this day, the sport is always changing. From the shift, to a universal DH, and even sports betting. Some rules have been changed to increase the game speed, like the implementation of the Pitch Timer, which is comparable to the shot clock in basketball. With the legalization of mobile sports betting across many states, there has been a growth in Major League Baseball viewership and involvement. The MLB has a long season compared to many of its professional sports counterparts, giving bettors plenty of options when it comes to finding a bet on any given day. If you are looking to bet on the Atlanta Braves to repeat, Shohei Ohtani to be the strikeout leader, or Freddie Freeman’s performance with the Los Angeles Dodgers, be sure to check out our sportsbook reviews and claim one of the various promos we have available, just for our customers.

MLB Against the Spread (ATS) Records

Betting the spread is probably the least popular form of MLB betting. You may have seen the spread for MLB games referred to as the, “runline”. This is because the spread is frequently 1.5 runs. The spread rarely changes, however the odds do. You can read more about runlines in our MLB game eduction guide. Even though betting on runlines (or MLB spreads) is not extremely popular, these are good bets if you think a team will either win or lose by more than one run.

MLB Injury Report

Injuries always play a significant role in any MLB season. The loss of key players can dramatically alter a team's prospect for winning games. Not only that, but the absence of stars on the field will also impact a game's odds. Seasoned bettors know to scour the injury reports before making a wager to ensure that their selection is one that takes into account who might be missing from the field in a given contest.
