How to Read the MLB ATS Rankings

The MLB Against the Spread or ATS Rankings are a vital betting resource for all bettors following the action on the MLB diamond.

This feature provides updated records for all 30 MLB ball clubs in the league and present the data in a sortable fashion.

The categories featured within the MLB ATS Rankings are listed below:

  • Straight Up
  • Run Line
  • Over-Under

Straight Up

The term Straight Up or what’s also identified as SU in the sports betting industry is as simple as it gets. A straight up wager is a bet on the outright winner of a matchup with the point-spread not involved.

Bettors just need to select the winner of the matchup and cheer for a final result. For SU wagers, there are only two choices and it’s either the favorite or underdog. In some instances, you might have a game go off as a pick ‘em where there is neither a favorite or underdog.

Straight Up wagers are most common in sports where the money-line is the most popular market, in particular MLB, NHL, Soccer and MMA events.

Against the Spread

For MLB, the Against the Spread category is often called the Run Line.

The MLB run line wager is a popular betting option that allows bettors to wager on the margin of victory in a baseball game. It is similar to the point-spread in other sports, but with a few key differences.

In MLB run line betting, the favorite is typically given a handicap of -1.5 runs. This means that the favorite must win the game by two or more runs in order for their bettors to win. The underdog, on the other hand, is given a handicap of +1.5 runs. This means that the underdog can either win the game outright or lose by one run and their bettors will still win.

For example, let's say that the New York Yankees are -1.5 run line favorites over the Boston Red Sox. A bettor who places a $100 bet on the Yankees to cover the run line will win their bet if the Yankees win the game by two or more runs. If the Yankees win by one run or lose the game, the bettor will lose their bet.

Conversely, a bettor who places a $100 bet on the Red Sox to cover the run line will win their bet if the Red Sox win the game outright or lose by one run. If the Red Sox lose by two or more runs, the bettor will lose their bet.

Run line bets can be a great way to get better odds on a favorite that is expected to win by a large margin. They can also be a good way to bet on an underdog that you think has a chance of winning or at least keeping the game close.

Over-Under

The Over-Under or Totals column is another popular feature in the MLB ATS Rankings feature.

An Over-Under wager focuses on the total combined runs by both teams for a matchup and that number is created by the oddsmakers prior to the matchup.

Put simply, bettors have two choices on the total and they can select Over or Under.

If the game goes Over, then it will appear 1-0 in the O/U column and go up or down accordingly and 0-1 if the Under connects. It is also common to see ties (pushes) with the Over-Under betting results.
