How to Use Our MLB Picks and Betting Advice

If you’re new to online betting, you may be a little unsure about the legalities.

Online betting has only recently become legalized and even then, there’s only certain states where online bookies have been given licenses to operate.

Yet there is a totally legit loophole. There are no federal laws outlawing offshore sportsbooks, so the majority of sports bettors can legally use this type of bookmaker, without fear of any repercussions.

There’s just a few states where offshore sportsbooks are specifically prohibited, but those are ones where there are legal licensed alternatives available.

Take a look at one of our recommended offshore sportsbooks and you will see that they are specifically targeting US bettors.

This demonstrates the number of US players they already have and how it is a safe activity. So wherever you live, you’ll be able to make the most of our MLB free picks.

Not only are offshore sportsbooks a legitimate and legal option, but we have partnered with the very best.

They all boast comprehensive coverage of the MLS, with great value odds. Let’s take a look at some of the different bet types that you will be able to match up with our baseball picks for today.

MLB Run Line Picks

The spread in baseball is known as the run line.

It works in exactly the same way as a regular spread, with the favorites given a handicap to overcome and the underdogs given a points advantage.

Because baseball is a low scoring sport, you’ll often find that the run line is standardized at -1.5 and +1.5, but other alternate spreads will be available.

As you have to factor in not just the result, but also the margin of victory, then MLB picks against the spread are a valuable commodity with this line.

Moneyline MLB Picks

If you want to keep things simple, then you can just pick out the result with a moneyline bet.

With games tending to be tighter than with other leagues such as the NFL or NBA, then the moneyline is often a smart choice with strong odds.

This is reflected by the fact that BetIdeas gives out MLB moneyline predictions every day.

MLB Totals Picks (Over/Under)

The run line and moneyline form part of a trinity of the most popular bets for baseball.

The third is the totals market, in which a number is stated and you have to bet on whether the total accumulated runs of both teams will be higher or lower than that figure.

When making such MLB score predictions, there are a lot of factors to digest.

For this reason, the average bettor who doesn’t have the time to do the required research, will most often benefit from our MLB over/under predictions today.

There are also a range of other MLB over under markets available, based on alternate scores and other statistics.

First Five Innings MLB Picks

As the name suggests, with this bet you are purely betting on the outcome after the first five innings, rather than the overall game.

You will be able to find first five innings lines for popular markets such as the moneyline, run line and totals.

Making a prediction in these markets requires considering some different criteria, such as the form of the starting pitchers and batters.

Again, this is another type of bet where our AI predictions are useful. You’ll often find first five innings picks within our MLB best bets.

MLB Picks And Parlays

Parlays are a very popular type of bet for baseball. With so many games taking place at the same time, it can be fun to combine a few MLB parlay picks together, to form one overall wager.

You can generate some spectacular odds with parlays, but remember that every selection needs to be successful for the overall bet to win, so there is a balance to be struck.

Many bettors group together a number of MLB locks at short odds individually, which collectively make a value bet.

Our baseball computer picks contain selections at every level of odds, so you can be sure that there will be some appropriate wagers suggested to form a parlay bet.

MLB Prop Picks

With there being so many different statistics associated with baseball, this is a sport that lends itself to props.

This form of bet sees a proposition made and you wager on whether it will occur or not.

There are team props such as which team will have the highest scoring innings and player prop bets, such as how many strikeouts a pitcher will record.

You’ll find that with player props in particular, there are a great variety of markets available.

To delve through the stats to accurately predict props lines is time consuming, do many savvy bettors prefer to instead take advantage of our AI MLB picks.

MLB Futures Picks

While we produce plenty of MLB predictions for today, we also like to look ahead to tomorrow and beyond.

With futures bets, you are wagering on long-term markets such as which team will win the World Series.

There are also lots of futures lines based around players, such as who will win various awards, or record certain stats over the course of a season.

Don’t forget to look out for Major League Baseball picks for markets that will be settled in the future, as well as the short-term.
