To bet on baseball legally in the US, you can use licensed sportsbooks at the racetrack, off-track betting locations, or online. You can place a variety of bets, including moneyline bets, run line bets, totals bets, futures bets, and prop bets.
Moneyline bets are the simplest type of baseball bet, where you pick which team will win the game outright. Run line bets are similar to point spread bets in basketball, where a team has to win by a certain number of runs. Totals bets involve betting on whether the total number of runs scored by both teams in a game will be over or under a predetermined number.
Futures bets involve betting on the outcome of a future event, such as the winner of the World Series or league MVP. Prop bets, or proposition bets, involve betting on a specific event within a game, such as the number of strikeouts by a particular pitcher or the number of home runs by a specific player.
