As part of a weekly betting strategy piece for the popular sports betting website Sports Betting Stats, I recently covered MLB Dime lines.
Most online sportsbook create a wider gap between the favorite and the underdog when it comes to MLB money line bets. For example, if you are betting the New York Yankees as -165 home favorites, you could be the other side of that matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays set as +145 road favorites.
An online book offering a MLB dime line on that same game might have the Yankees listed as -160 home favorites with the Rays set as +150 road underdogs. In either situation, there is added value in that bet. You would only have to risk $160 to win $100 betting New York. If you have Tampa Bay pulling off the upset, you can earn a $150 on that same $100 wager.
Saving $5 on the juice or earning another $5 on your overall return may not sound like much on a single bet. However, when you add it all up over the course of the 162-game MLB regular season plus the postseason run to the World Series, the savings/earnings would be substantial.
Here is the link for my complete breakdown of betting MLB Dime Lines at Sports Betting Stats.
