Or does anyone pay attention to the % of games won by 2 runs or more? I'm seeing the difference between the ML and the -1.5 RL of 100 points or more. That's doubling your win.

If a team has a high % of winning by 2 runs or more it would be worth it to take the -1.5 RL instead of the ML. Likewise, if a team had a large Margin of Victory I would think it would be more likely that they win by 2 runs or more.

Those larger 100-cent differences come on the home side which is more likely than the visiting team to win by a single run. I'll lay 1.5 at times but usually not on home team. You get shorted 3 outs too often. Your up 5-3 after 8 innings, then watch the visitor get one in Top of 9th, or extra innings and you need a homerun with men on.
