Relative baseball newbie here. I'm a bit mystified by the run line and would like some perspective from the veterans here. What I don't quite "get" is why the odds change so dramatically from the ML to the run line. The only thing I can think of is that in a very substantial percentage of games the winning team wins by a single run. Is that the explanation? And do you vets consider the run line a sucker bet?
To me, unburdened by any actual statistics to disabuse me of the notion, it seems awfully appealing to forsake the ML for the run line in many games.
Your thoughts/advice please?
Thanks and GL.
