MLB Picks

Written by Jimmy Boyd

From the first day of spring training, Jimmy Boyd starts getting excited about another year of baseball betting and his MLB picks will spark your excitement as well. Major League Baseball betting is growing in popularity each year, but yet it takes a back seat to both football and basketball betting. If only bettors knew that betting baseball actually gives you the best chance of winning.

Baseball betting is done on the money line so all you have to do is pick the winner and you don’t have to pay the ridiculous juice you are expected to pay in other sports for picking favorites. With that being said, picking underdogs are the way to go this MLB season. If you are someone with the ability to pick dogs on a consistent basis you can make more while wagering less. Here’s what I mean. If the Boston Redsox are a -127 favorite against the Baltimore Orioles you would have to pay $127 to win $100 to take the Redsox. So it’s easy to see that the value is much better in taking the Orioles at +127 as you only have to spend $100 to win $127. This is just hypothetically speaking so that you understand a little bit more about how baseball money line betting works. Obviously if Schilling is on the hill for the Redsox with this line you may want to lay the $127 on the BoSox, but if Schilling is on the mound and he is just coming off of injury, perhaps the O’s would be showing more value here. These are just some of the types of things that are important to think about when making your MLB picks.

Although money line betting is the major form of MLB betting, you can also place wagers on the total and the run line. Neither of these types of wagers show as much value on a day in day out basis, but there are certain occasions when both wagers can be appropriate. If there are two aces on the mound and the total is set at 8 runs, you may want to think about taking the under. Here’s another example of when you may want to think about making a run line bet. Let’s say you really like the Yankees to win against the Royals but you don’t want to pay $227 to win $100. If you think that New York will win by more than 1.5 runs, it will lower the juice and make this bet more affordable for you.
