Free MLB Run-Line Picks
Run-line picks in MLB can be viewed as ATS or Against the Spread Picks since a spread or in this case, a run-line is involved.
Oddsmakers always open run-line spreads as -1.5 or +1.5 and then there is money associated with each run-line spread.
Instead of backing a heavy money-line favorite, bettors have the option to back that team to win by two or more runs at a lower price.
When taking the underdog at the +1.5 price, your wager can still lose the game outright but if it stays within the spread (1.5) then you'll be okay.
Our MLB Run Line Free Picks will feature a selection either on the favorite or the underdog and will include betting analysis on how to lay or take the points.
MLB Free Totals Picks (aka Overs/Unders)
If you’re undecided on MLB ML or MLB Run Line Free Picks, you must be a Totals bettor, and our Free MLB Over Under Totals Picks allow you to cheer for either a slugfest at the ballpark or a great pitching battle.
Everybody loves the long ball and cheering for an Over is much more fun but that doesn’t prevent our experts from playing the Under in our Free MLB Betting Picks page and looking for strikeouts.
All selections featured in the MLB Over Under Totals Picks include betting analysis and tips on how to find the best markets.

How to Bet on Baseball
How to bet on baseball during the season is similar to that of other sports in that the most popular betting options are on the moneyline (ML) – who will win the game – and the total – over/under total runs scored.
How do MLB Moneyline Picks Work?
In baseball, a moneyline takes the place of a point spread.
When it comes to moneyline betting, you just need the team you select to win the game straight up, regardless of the margin.
In moneyline wagering, you always have a favorite and an underdog.
The minus sign (Ex. Nationals -120) indicates the favorite and the amount you must wager to win $100.
In the above example, bettors would stake $120 to win $100 on the Nationals.
The plus sign (Ex. Phillies +110) indicates the underdog and the amount you will win for every $100 wager.
In this case, bettors would place $100 on the Phillies to win $110.
How do MLB Run Line Picks Work?
The Run Line is similar to the point spread and is typically plus or minus 1 ½ runs.
You either wager on a team to win by two or more runs or you bet on a team to either win outright or lose by just a single run.
Since bettors are at a disadvantage by taking the favorite, oddsmakers install a positive return.
In the above example, the Nationals are - 1 ½ (+160) and the Phillies are +1 ½ (-180).
If you wager $100 on the Nationals, you would earn $160 if they won the game by two or more runs.
If they lost the game outright or won by exactly one run, you would lose your $100 wager.
If you bet $100 on the Phillies, you would have to put up $180. This wager will win if Philadelphia wins outright or if they lose by exactly one run.
How do MLB Total (Over-Under) Picks Work?
The "O/U", also known as Over/Under or Total, is the number of combined runs that the oddsmakers expect to be scored between the two teams.
Bettors can either wager Over or Under on the runs listed.
For example, if the total is set at 10 runs, bettors taking the Over would win if the Phillies and Nationals score 11 or more runs in the game.
Bettors taking the Under would win if the teams combine for nine runs or less. If the game ends with 10 runs, it is considered a push (tie), and all wagers are refunded.
Oddsmakers often associate a money line with "O/U" lines, which means bettors would have to lay extra money in some cases.
Ex. Over 10 (-120) -- bettors would wager $120 to win $100.
MLB Expert Picks Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MLB computer picks, consensus picks, and expert picks?
The consensus picks we present are gathered using computer and expert-generated picks from industry-leading sources.
What is a "run line bet" when betting on baseball?
A run-line bet is a bet on the margin of victory by either team.
They will typically be listed at +/- 1.5, with the +equaling an underdog while the - indicates a favorite.
Can you bet on totals in baseball?
Yes, you absolutely can.
If you take over 7.5 runs scored, then you win if there are 8 or more runs scored and lose if there are less than 8 scored.
