When it comes to baseball, any MLB team can win on any given day. This means that you should try to find underdogs that have a lot of value because they can make you very profitable. Baseball is different than football in the sense of the favorite does not usually win. 

Anything can happen in baseball, so keep this in mind when placing wagers. The next market is the run line, which is the ML equivalent of the spread. The run line in baseball is always -/+ 1.5.

The team that is favored is -1.5, meaning they must win by two for your wager to be successful. If you take +1.5 as part of your MLB betting picks, the team must be within one run or win the game for your bet to hit. 

The run line is a great way to add value to heavy favorites. The one issue is they must win by two runs which is never an easy task in baseball. The final market in the traditional group is the total.

The total is when you bet on the number of runs scored in a game. This number is derived from both teams’ projected scores. The totals that you will see on sportsbooks typically begin at 7.5 and the largest is around 12.

This depends on the stadium, weather, pitchers, and offenses that are in a game. As a bettor, you must choose if the total will go over or under the allotted amount. These are the main ways you should make your MLB betting picks today. Best of luck!
