This is the most straightforward bet type. You place a bet on the team to win the baseball game.

Handicap (Run Lines)

 Just like in football, handicap works the same here. A team is disadvantaged while the other is advantaged because it’s perceived to have fewer chances at winning.

In an example where team A is given +1.5 and team B is given a -1.5 meaning that team A can lose by at least 1 run for your bet to win while team B must win the game with at least two runs for you to win the bet.
