The Runline vs ML debate for favs

Biggamer3 · Apr 4, 2008

I have been betting runlines all the time so far and i am getting my ass handed to me with my team winning 1 run games.

Is using the runline in baseball the smart move longterm?

Like I said in the thread I just started, fading the SF Giants on the ML is gold.

They will still win 55 games you gotta think with their pitching so IDK about every game.

Not every game, like I said, 'Until proven otherwise"

if you like a big home favorite, bet the moneyline. do not bet -1.5 or -1

If you are betting on the home team at -1.5, they have eight chances against the other teams nine, then they have to outscore the opposition by at least two runs. Then it is usually a 20-cent line compared to 10 cents on the ML. Generally not a good bet

Taking a dog at -1.5 (or even -2.5) for +250 or higher can sometimes work out ok
