Baseball, with the distinctive sound of the bat hitting the ball and the roar of the crowds, sets the rhythm of the sporting summer in America. From Opening Day to the World Series, the Major League Baseball (MLB) season is filled with excitement due to its home run hitters, speedy outfielders, and powerful pitchers.
Major League Baseball, commonly known as MLB, is the premier baseball competition in the world and boasts the highest total attendance of any sports league. The biggest names, the hardest hitters, and the top pitchers all converge in America to participate in one of the most-followed baseball competitions — it's no wonder that the winner of the World Series is crowned ‘the World Champion'.
With Betwinner, you can bet on every baseball game around the MLB, with the latest odds and live betting on all 162 regular season games — plus the excitement of the playoffs. Bet on the number of home runs hit, the margin of victory, outright division winners, and much more.
Place your bets on the World Series, the ultimate prize in baseball. Every season, the champions of MLB's American and National Leagues compete in a best-of-seven series to determine the season's champion. You can bet on the overall winner of the World Series at any point during the baseball season, as well as on the World Series MVP, margin of victory, and tons more.
Betting on baseball can be as straightforward as picking a team to win the match — known as an outright or money line bet. With over 2,000 games played in every MLB season, there's a wealth of odds to choose from.
You'll also find plenty of special baseball markets to bet on, including:
Outright winners: pick the winner of the National League, American League, or the World Series.
Run-line betting: handicap betting on individual games, such as whether a team will win by more than a specified margin of runs.
Total runs: the total number of runs scored in the game.
Home runs: bet on how many times the ball will be hit out of the park during a game.
Baseball may seem like a complex game to newcomers, but fortunately, there's a wealth of statistical information available that can be leveraged when betting on individual games, World Series champions, or the MVP. Keep an eye out for:
The pitcher's ERA (earned run average) – this indicates how many runs a pitcher allows on average over nine full innings of pitching. An ERA below 3 is exceptional; an ERA above 5 typically suggests that a pitcher tends to give up a lot of hits.
A batter's BA (batting average) – how often a batter gets a hit.
A batter's RBI (runs batted in) – a batter is credited with an RBI each time he helps a teammate score a run for the team or hits a home run himself. 100 RBIs are considered an excellent contribution over a full season.
A player's WAR (wins above replacement) – advanced stats in baseball include WAR, which measures how many more wins a player is worth compared to a replacement-level player at his position. It's a way of quantifying a player's value with a specific number of wins and is usually a good indicator of who will be in the running for MVP each year.
In addition to baseball stats, also consider the following when betting on America's pastime:
Form: teams can go on hot streaks in baseball, especially towards the end of the season when lineup rotation takes a backseat in pursuit of securing a playoff spot.
Team news: injuries can significantly impact the outcome of a season in baseball, particularly among pitchers who are constantly balancing the ability to throw at 100mph without burning out.
Line-ups: similarly, teams will rotate and rest players throughout the regular season. If you're picking a team because one of their sluggers is red hot, make sure he's in tonight's lineup!
