Baseball Odds Today at Prime Sportsbook: Get the Best Baseball Betting Lines and Live Odds

Baseball is one of the most popular sports for wagering because of its daily action and numerous betting options.

Major League Baseball, the best-known and most popular league, runs from March to the beginning of November. Gamblers can get action nearly every day, as MLB plays on average 15 games per day.

Betting options include moneyline, sides, run lines, totals, props, in-game betting, and futures. Sharps enjoy betting on baseball because there are numerous options for finding the most advantageous lines.

Understanding Baseball Betting Odds

The most popular way to bet on baseball is with the moneyline. Gamblers lay or take odds with the baseball betting lines on which team will win the game.

With the run line, gamblers lay or take 1.5 runs at a lower dollar rate than the moneyline. Over/Under (“Totals) is where gamblers bet on whether the combined score of a game will go over or under a set number.

The first five innings are a wager on which team will lead at the end of the fifth inning. Player and team props focus on certain events, such as whether a player will hit a home run.  Futures betting is for items such as which team will win the World Series. Learn how to bet on baseball with our guide covering odds, run lines, and strategy basics.

Baseball Betting Types at Prime Sportsbook

Moneyline Betting: An example of a bet on baseball money line is the Los Angeles Dodgers -150 to win $100 vs. the San Francisco Giants +130 with a $100 bet. Moneyline bettors like the simplicity of only having to pick a straight-up winner.

Run Line Betting: An example of the baseball odds run line is the Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 runs at +120 on a $100 bet vs. the San Francisco Giants +1.5 -140 to win $100. Gamblers often use the run line on expensive money line favorites to bring down the potential cost of a loss.

Over/Under (Totals) Betting: An example of an over/under “totals” line is the Dodgers and Giants 8.5, over -135 to win $100 vs. under at $100 to win +105. Gamblers who bet $135 on the game to go over the total would win $100 on a final score of 5-4.

First 5 Innings Betting: The principal run and moneyline options still apply, but the team that leads after five innings would be the winner. If the game is tied after five innings, your bet is refunded.

Player & Team Props: An example of a team prop would be the Kansas City Royals vs. St. Louis Cardinals over or under the total of 2.5 home runs in a game. Player props include how many hits a player will get in a game.

Baseball Futures Betting: An example of future odds is the New York Yankees +800 to win the World Series on a $100 bet. You can also wager on a team going over or under a set number of wins in a season.

Bet on Major Baseball Leagues & Tournaments

Although the most popular form of baseball betting is on Major League Baseball, tournaments from the college ranks have gained popularity as well.

Each May, gamblers can bet on college conferences or regional tournaments.

Additionally, there are plenty of international tournaments throughout the year. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and South America provide such betting opportunities.

Live Baseball Betting at Prime Sportsbook

Live baseball betting, also known as “in-game” wagering, adds to baseball's wagering appeal.

The strategy and betting theories are endless. Most in-game betting angles revolve around pitching changes and matchups between pitchers and hitters. Teams that lead a game in the late innings but with unreliable relief pitching are often targets for gamblers, especially with reliable run-producing teams.

Also, gamblers will jump on a team with multiple runners on base with no outs. The best live-betting gamblers focus on hitters or pitchers with a distinct advantage.

Live betting also offers the ability to hedge on a pregame wager.
