Baseball Betting & Baseball odds

Baseball is one of America’s most famous sports and sporting institutions, first played competitively in 1846. With nine innings across a game, the fast-paced action in the ballpark makes it the ideal sport to bet on. And at BoyleSports you’ll have all your essential baseball betting markets and baseball odds to wager on the action. 

At BoyleSports, you can bet on all the baseball matches you want from across the world, most notably America’s most prestigious league, Major League Baseball (MLB). You’ll find MLB betting markets and MLB odds throughout the Regular Season, the Playoffs and the pinnacle of baseball, the World Series.

How Do I Bet on Baseball with BoyleSports?

The first thing to do is to sign up for a BoyleSports account and make your first deposit. You’ll then find all your essential baseball betting odds right here on this page, covering markets like: 

• Money line bets: A simple bet on a team to win in a baseball fixture

• Run lines: A spread bet where one team either starts with -1.5 runs (the favourite) or +1.5 runs (the underdog) 

• Team totals: A bet on how many runs a certain team will score 

• Home run: A bet on whether there will be a home run in a certain baseball fixture 

You can even make parlay bets, where you tie two or more bets into the same bet. 

Once you’ve found a bet you want to make, click on the odds for that bet then add it to your betslip. Put your stake (the amount you want to wager) in the box next to each bet. You’ll see your Total Stake wagered at the bottom of your betslip and your Total Potential Return. Simply click on the button below your betslip to place your bets.

How Do Odds Work on Baseball?

At BoyleSports, you’ll see our baseball betting odds displayed as fractional odds – this is the norm for UK and Irish betting markets although you can change them to decimal odds to be more in line with US betting.  

With fractional betting odds, you see your potential winnings alongside the stake it takes to win. For example, odds of 5/1 means it takes a £1 stake to win £5, should your bet be won on the day. If you placed a £10 bet on the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series at 5/1 and they do, you would win £50. You’d also get your £10 stake back for a total of £60. 

At BoyleSports, our baseball odds continually change to ensure we provide you with the best possible bets. This goes for both our day and outright markets. Factors like the form of the starting team, the strength of a pitcher and any injuries to key players all play their part when setting the baseball odds. And the action on the diamond as the match unfolds will also affect any live in-play baseball odds too. 

Bet on Major League Baseball 

MLB, or Major League Baseball, is the world’s premier baseball league taking place across the Atlantic in America. A total of 30 teams are split into two leagues – the American and National Leagues – with the season typically taking place between late March to early October.

Each league is then subdivided into three divisions – East, Central and West – with five clubs apiece. During the regular season each team plays a whopping 162 games, which means plenty of opportunities for MLB betting. 

And with major teams like the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and LA Dodgers, you can have your say on the eventual winner of the World Series with our outright MLB odds. 

Tips for Baseball Betting

Keen to bet on baseball with us? Head to the BoyleSports blog for our tips and predictions for the biggest and best MLB encounters. 

And when it comes to making your bets, consider: 

• Team form: Look into the recent performances, win/loss records, and current form of the team you’re interested in betting on.

• Head-to-head records: Analyse the past matchups between the teams to see if one has the beating of the other. A good run of form can often be halted by coming up against one of your bogey teams. 

• Travel distance: Has one team had to travel far for an MLB match-up? Small factors like tiredness from travel can make a difference. 

• Baseball news online: Use MLB news sites and social media to get insights from the experts but also to find out any stories that may impact team form, such as a key player being injured. 

• Shifts in momentum: If you’re betting live in-play, a run for one team in a key inning could start to shift momentum in the encounter.
