Is there a way to calculate the run line from the ML

[LVBOUND]

I have been searching for a sight that has historical run lines for MLB. I checked covers, sportsdatabase.com, Vegasinsider..... nothing

So I was hoping as an alternative to find a calculation and do it myself.

Thanks.

the total is a factor in it.

Phil,

Just like you can convert a spread into a moneyline in most sports, there are conversion charts for baseball. They are a little more complex though - you need both a moneyline and total to determine the fair runline. You also need to account for whether the home team or road team is the runline favorite - since the game ends in the middle of the 9th when the home team is leading, home favorite runline prices are more expensive than road teams...

I don't remember exactly, but the home team wins a game by exactly 1 run about 21% of the time, and a visiting team does so by about 14% of the time. The lower the total, the more often this happens. One other technical adjustment you can make: if a team has a strong bullpen and closer, they tend to win by exactly one more often (remember Gagne at LA when he was on fire?)

You might check the lines at Pinnacle. Not

Scores and odds.com has it.
