MLB odds explained
The moneyline is the most popular way to bet on baseball, but Over/Unders and the point spread (called the run line in baseball) are also very common.
Moneyline
The moneyline is the most common way to bet on lower-scoring sports like baseball as you¡¯re simply picking which team will win the game. The moneyline favorite will have a minus sign (-) before the odds and the underdog will be shown by a plus sign (+). Learn more with our moneyline guide and calculate how much you could win with our moneyline calculator.
Updated moneyline odds can be seen by selecting ML above the odds tool.
Run line
The run line is baseball¡¯s version of the point spread. In the MLB, it is almost always set at 1.5 runs ¡ª meaning the favorite (-1.5) needs to win the game by two or more runs, and the underdog (+1.5) can lose by one run or win the game outright. Learn more with our run line guide.
Current run line odds can be seen by clicking the run line button above the odds tool.
Over/Unders
Over/Under odds, also known as totals, are another popular way to bet on the MLB. When wagering on Over/Under odds, you¡¯re making a bet as to whether the total runs scored by both teams combined will go Over or Under the number set by the sportsbook. Learn more with our Over/Under betting guide.
See today¡¯s MLB Over/Under odds by choosing the total tab above the odds tool.
Futures
Betting on baseball futures means betting on an event that is later in time, such as the odds to win the World Series or which team will win the NL or AL pennant. These odds are posted during the offseason and take action until a winner is crowned. Learn more with our futures betting guide.
You can switch to view MLB futures odds by clicking Team Futures in the right-hand corner of the odds page.
Pitching matchups & odds
The matchup between the starting pitchers is an important factor in how oddsmakers set the lines for each game. It¡¯s also a good place for bettors to start when handicapping baseball matchups.
The projected starting pitchers are listed in the odds tool and more details can be found by clicking on the matchup button.

MLB odds FAQs
The odds above default to American format. With odds of -110, you will need to wager $110 to profit $100. With odds of +130, you can profit $130 from a $100 bet. You can also switch the odds format to decimal or fractional in the odds settings.
On a moneyline baseball bet, the team you bet on needs to win the game outright. Learn more about how odds work with our how to bet on baseball guide.
The opening lines for baseball are usually posted the night before game day.
In baseball, +1.5 means the team is the underdog on the run line (baseball¡¯s version of the spread). It means the team can win the game or lose by one run and still cover the spread.
