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

    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.

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
