The Game Betting Markets: Moneyline, Spread, and Total
The odds at the top of the page are the classic wagers. This is the foundation of MLB odds.
Moneyline: Who Wins?
This is the simplest bet. Just pick the winner. The Dodgers are the champs for a reason, and they’re the favorites at -220. What does that mean? A $220 bet on LA wins you $100. The implied odds give them a 68.75% chance to win. The Blue Jays moneyline is +190. A $100 bet on Toronto nets you $190. Their implied chance is 34.48%. Remember, the Jays have home-field advantage, with Games 1 and 2 at Rogers Centre.
Run Line (Spread): How Much Do They Win By?
This is baseball’s version of the point spread. The favorite (Dodgers) gets -1.5 runs, and the underdog (Blue Jays) gets +1.5 runs. If you bet the Dodgers spread, they must win by 2 or more runs. If you bet the Blue Jays spread (+1.5), they can win the game or lose by just one run, and your ticket still cashes. It’s a great way to back an underdog you think will keep it close.
Total (Over/Under): How Many Runs?
Forget who wins. How much offense will we see? The oddsmakers set a total number of runs (e.g., 8.5). You bet on whether the combined score from both teams will be Over or Under that number. With the Dodgers’ pitching staff and Toronto’s late-game heroics from guys like George Springer, the World Series totals will be a battle every night.
World Series Prop Bets
This is where real baseball fans get their edge. Prop bets are wagers on specific outcomes within the game. They aren’t always tied to the final score.
Player Props
Think you know who’s going to shine? This is for you. Player props let you bet on individual performance.
- Pitcher Strikeouts (Over/Under)
- Player to Hit a Home Run
- Total Bases (Over/Under)
- Player to Record an RBI
Betting on a former player to haunt his old team? Teoscar Hernández won two Silver Sluggers in Toronto. Max Scherzer pitched for the Dodgers in 2021. These guys have narratives, and player props let you bet on them.
Game Props
These are tied to team or game events. They’re a fantastic way to bet on World Series game flow.
- First Team to Score
- Will There Be a Run in the 1st Inning? (YRFI/NRFI)
- Team Total Runs (Over/Under)
- First 5 Innings Moneyline
If you have a strong read on the starting pitchers but don’t trust the bullpens, the First 5 Innings line is your best friend. Hunt for value here.
