    Run line or money line
    If I want to bet a favorite team in baseball, which gives a better value, run line or money line? or a combination of both?

    It depends on the price of each. You need a conversion chart to determine which is better.

      Thanks. I see many betting tools on this site, but can't find this conversion chart. Is it complicated?

        general rule of thumb, for any quick and dirty spread/ml valuation use pinny's drop down menu

          I believe it is 75% of the time a team in baseball wins by more than one run, home/away splits might be something to view as well, since one less at bat for winning home team.

              Moneyline is usually better than laying -1.5 runs, books tend to juice the -1.5 side heavier since they know people like to lay it.

              But like Justin said, you need a conversion chart.

                Depends on expected number of total runs as well

                Justin keeps his chart close to his chest

                  Run lines are good sometimes. Like mentioned above road favs , because they are going to get full at bats. Good in my opinion to play them very early on overnight lines.

                    If you want to win big money on baseball you just have to do good parleys with the moneyline but if you do it with the runlines it all depends on the money line and on the convenience of the bet if the money line is to hi then on your convenience you should take the runline its lets higher than the money line.
