Betting on Major League Baseball has become almost as much a national pastime as the game itself. Baseball is considered by many to be one of the more difficult sports to bet on, but with the proper information and the knowledge of when to bet your MLB pick, you can make baseball your most profitable season of the year. A main reason for this is the sheer volume of games in which you can bet MLB each week. With each team playing at least 162 games per year, that gives sports bettors 5,184 baseball games to handicap in the regular season alone. The other advantage is baseball betting odds are more exploitable than those of football and basketball due to bookmakers not having as much time or volume to sharpen the lines. Betting volume per game is much lower, especially on smaller market teams. This means that our MLB handicappers here at Doc's have a boatload of games in which to offer premium and free MLB picks to our readers. All lines are scrutinized each night so we can bring you the gems that are our MLB best bets!
Users can also easily find pages of free MLB picks to choose from on the Doc's Sports network, which includes our free MLB predictions page; MLB Experts picks page and the Youtube channels of our team of MLB cappers. When you're ready to take advantage of our $60 in free member selections just click the button above and start receiving premium baseball picks for tonight's games! Let us prove the value and quality of our expert picks and unmatched customer service with the only baseball betting guarantee of its kind.
Doc's Sports offers users both free MLB picks & expert MLB picks each and every day from Opening Day until Game 7 of the World Series. More importantly, we can take a day full of garbage games from bottom feeder teams and turn it into a profitable afternoon of MLB betting. These are some of our favorite days here at Doc's Sports. Games that are considered low value for major television networks can bring some of the best betting opportunities. We view each and every day that an MLB game is played as another opportunity to grow your bankroll. With 26 weeks of games to play, this leaves a lot of opportunities to find the right days with the right games and that is exactly what we do each and every season. A pro baseball bettor will often say that winning in baseball is as much about which games to walk away from as it is about finding value. Following our baseball experts can make the season one of the quickest ways to build your bankroll which then carries over to a better return on your football betting come fall.
Unlike football and basketball, the MLB is much like betting hockey in the sense that moneylines wagers dominate the landscape and bets against the spread are less prevalent. Moneyline bets, or outright bets, are simply picking the winner of the game for the specified return on investment, with no other factors involved. Say the Yankees are hosting the Red Sox as a home favorite… a common bookmaker board showing this matchup's moneyline odds would look something like this:
Example: New York Yankees (-120) Boston Red Sox (+110)
In moneyline betting, the favorite prices are always preceded by a (-) while underdogs have a (+) in front of the integer. This is due to the fact that a bet on a favorite will always payout less than the amount wagered while an underdog bet will net you more than your original stake. Ergo, a $120 bet on the Yankees would collect $100 plus the $120 staked. On the other side, a winning bet on the Red Sox would win you $110.00 plus your $100 stake. MLB Odds can vary greatly from sportsbook to sportsbook which is one of the advantages we have and why bookmakers like MLB less than the other major market sports. It is also why MLB limits are often lower than the NFL and NBA.
At Doc's Sports we look at each game and ask ourselves, out of 100 bets, are we going to come out on top of this MLB moneyline? We don't sell our picks based on the popularity of the teams, or if the game is a prime time nationally televised event like many 'pro' cappers do in order to maximize their sales. We prefer to pick apart each game without limiting our experts to prime time events or teams in contention. If MLB handicappers thinks that the worst team in the league has value over the second worse team, then that is the MLB selection the client will receive.
Taking sides isn't the only way to bet on a baseball game. Often our MLB experts will find opportunity betting the O/U for total runs scored combined. When taking a look at baseball betting totals, pitching matchups are obviously the first stop in the research. The MLB handicappers at Doc's Sports spend countless hours sifting through matchup reports, game splits and H2H numbers as well as their own unique factors, in order to best highlight the most profitable total bets on the board each and every day. If a particular pitcher has been red hot of late but has traditionally struggled against lefties we may use that information in a given game. A pitcher may face a lineup that is southpaw heavy which can dictate an over bet despite the pitcher's recent dominance. Another consideration when looking at MLB totals, where handicapping other sports is not a factor, is the specific venue of the game. Games that take place in the thin air of Coors Field in Colorado are notoriously high scoring and can see totals that reach 13 or more. On the flipside, fields like Petco Park see run numbers almost .75 less per game and therefore can see totals as low as 6. We know being home or away amounts to points in every sport but the physical Venue has relatively little impact in other leagues. You might see basketball teams in Denver score less because of altitude, having the opposite effect on MLB scoring as shown here. However, an even bigger factor is the bookmaker overreacting to these situations and thereby creating value with their pricing. With so many factors going into betting MLB totals, we proudly provide expert O/U picks for the entire baseball season so our readers can make the best bets available. Additionally, we provide free MLB total picks intended to aid in easing the legwork our readers have to do themselves.
While MLB parlay picks can often be viewed as 'sucker bets', the MLB might be the best sport for taking a chance on those multi-team wagers. Parlays require that players bet on 2, 3, 4 or even 10 separate games on a single betting slip. Unlike parlaying other sports, it is all or nothing for moneyline MLB parlay bettors! You either win each leg or lose the entire parlay. For those MLB bettors who love the thrill of playing on the train tracks, big underdog odds can lead to massive payouts but require a lot of work and an understanding that winning droughts in underdog betting is part of a winning MLB betting season! Along with NHL Hockey, properly playing MLB parlays can really take your baseball betting to the next level.
One of the more popular parlay bets in the MLB is to combine an underdog with a bet under the total. Essentially, you're hoping the underdog can keep the favorites from lighting them up and eke out a close win. While the risk is greater, a three-team MLB parlay will usually pay out around 6 to 1. At Doc's, our MLB professional handicappers will offer free MLB parlay picks on the rare occasion that the value is there for our customers. The downside of parlay betting is that we do not have the opportunity to make our selections through multiple baseball sportsbooks. That means no line shopping and we must find value at the market average price. It is also why parlay bets are a rare occurrence in Doc's premium MLB selections.
Once the calendar hits October and the regular season ends, the MLB much like other sports, sees an influx of public betting action. This increase in betting the playoffs is for two reasons. One, people bet on the more exciting and meaningful games and series. Two, more bettors are at the counter because football is also in full swing and the NBA is about to begin. Bettors have fewer games to sift through, but the square action can shift many lines into the favor of more patient or careful bettors. At Doc's we identify games where the public betting has created value. MLB baseball in the playoffs comes down to pitching, both starting and out of the bullpen. Handicapping pitchers is a skill in itself. Betting, and winning, in the MLB playoffs is as much about when you bet as who you bet. A series can have long gaps between games unlike the regular season. Edges can come and go as the market changes. At Doc's we help you bet smarter and avoid betting on teams when you don't have the expected advantage!
