Sports Betting 101: Top 10 MLB Tips

April 30, 2021 By AM 1530 WCKG

Sports Betting 101: The Top 10 tips YOU need to know when making bets in the MLB.

Looking for sports betting tips and strategy when handicapping baseball? In the latest episode in the Sports Betting 101 Series on WagerTalk TV, Minty Bets sits down with Teddy Covers to go over his Top 10 Winning Tips for Betting on Baseball. Some of the MLB betting tips from Teddy:

  • Understand Math: -200 = 2:1 favorite, +150 = dog has 40% chance of winning. The bettor must be right more than 75% of the time with his big three-dollar favorites in order to earn a profit.
  • Understand How MLB lines are set: The starting pitcher is more than half the equation. Same two teams, same field, not unusual for one team to be -150 the one night, the other team to be -150 the second night based entirely on starting pitching.
  • Understand the stats that matter. ERA, W/L record, batting average No BABIP/DIPS, FIP/XFIP, K/BB, defensive metrics, etc.
  • Be Aware of Derivatives: first 5, series prices, will they/won’t they score a run First inning/team to score first
  • One word: bullpens. The more you know, the more you’ll win. Manager tendencies; what’s the throwaway game in the series; which pens can you trust (bet on & bet under); which pens are getting lit up (bet against & Over).
