      MLB odds, lines and wagering analysis
      <div><div><h3>MLB Betting in 2019</h3><p>One of the best things about Major League Baseball is there’s always a game tomorrow. That’s the cliche MLB teams use to get over a loss, and it’s something bettors should remember throughout the season.</p><p>There’s no waiting until next Sunday to bet on the Cubs or White Sox. Bettors don’t need to sit on a loss for a week like in football. At the same time, betting baseball requires discipline with options on run-lines, moneylines and totals seven days a week.</p><p>Baseball is harder to adjust and react to for oddsmakers and bettors both because of the sample size. A losing streak by the Red Sox or winning streak by the Orioles won’t dramatically change future lines.  Analytics are increasingly available to help bettors know when to bet the Cardinals or fade the Dodgers. Slumps can create value in the futures market while hot starts can be deceiving. We’re here to help provide the information to make your decision.</p><p>Also, keep in mind live-betting opportunities. Wagering after a game has started has became a major part of the baseball betting experience.</p></div></div>
      <div><p>Major League Baseball has the longest regular season in sports with 162 games in just over 180 days. With a handful of variables impacting the betting markets, ranging from lineups to pitchers, weather to umpires, staying on top of odds, totals and roster changes can be a difficult task.</p><p>It can be easy to fall into a trap of wagering on the team with a better record or starting pitcher, but so much more goes into MLB betting than that. One needs to consider the moneyline, as teams like the Yankees, Astros and Dodgers often come with an inflated price. Also, all trends must be put in the proper context. If you’re not sure about which side to pick, there’s always the option of betting 'over' or 'under' the total runs scored. You can even bet on the first five innings. </p><p>Also, <a href="https://www.betchicago.com/mlb-advanced-stats-glossary-sports-betting">understanding advanced stats</a> can go a long way toward profitable baseball handicapping.</p><p>Not interested in the day-to-day grind of betting the baseball slate? There are prop bets and futures to analyze as well, from MVP to Cy Young, from World Series to pennant winners.</p><p>There is no sure way to be successful betting baseball, but analyzing multiple pieces of information, trends and news can help turn a profit. We get insight from bookmakers and experts to help bettors make informed decisions. </p><p>We follow everything in world of Major League Baseball, particularly with the <a href="https://www.betchicago.com/cubs-betting-odds">Chicago Cubs</a> and <a href="https://www.betchicago.com/white-sox-betting-odds">Chicago White Sox</a>.  </p></div>
