That way if the team you are betting wins by two, you win both wagers. If they win by 1, you push because the money line payout covers the run line wager amount.
Say you have the Yankees -150 and run line +100, and you want to bet $25 on the Yankees (-1). If you place $15 on the Yankees money line the payout from that bet would be $10. So you take that $10 and place it on the run line. If the Yankees win by 2 it pays a total of $20 on you $25 wager.
A simpler way to figure the amount to wager on the money line is to structure this wager so that the amount bet plus the amount to be paid equals the total amount you wish to bet on the game. So in the above example you money line wager ($15) plus it's payout ($10) equals the total amount you want to bet on the game. Then you just place the money line payout amount on the run line.
Hope that's easy to understand. Good luck!
