More than in any other sport, MLB odds vary from book to book, so you want to choose wisely, and perhaps carry accounts at multiple sportsbooks. Instead of trying out each of the hundreds of sites out there, we’ve compiled this list of the best places to open an account. Our staff has done the research for you so that you can choose the best option(s) for you based on what you are looking for in an online book.

5Dimes
I strongly recommend that everyone who bets on baseball holds an account with 5Dimes. They have a true dime line in baseball, plus 5 cent overnight money lines, run lines, and totals throughout the regular season. This reduced juice adds up quickly, not only giving you more to bet with, but meaning that you can win a smaller percentage of your baseball bets, while still winning money. Think of it this way. Say you are able to get a +115 underdog at 5Dimes, where other books have the same team at +110. Now, if you are betting $100 per game, that’s only an extra $5 if you win, but say you win 100 games during the baseball season. That ends up making you about $500 throughout the course of the season. I don’t know about you, but that’s all I need to hear to know that I must have an account with 5Dimes during the baseball season.
BetOnline
This book offers some of the best dime lines in the business, making it ideal for anyone looking for a long-term sportsbook to use for baseball betting. They will give you 10 cent lines all they way up to -199 and have discounted prices for lines higher than that. The other thing we really like about BetOnline is that they have one of the best ongoing bonuses in the business. Most books will give you an initial deposit bonus, but few offer that same bonus on every deposit you ever make into your account. BetOnline’s 25% Lifetime Bonus Guarantee ensures you are going to get that same 25% bonus for every deposit you make throughout the lifetime of your account.
Bovada
Bovada is one of the most popular online books for baseball wagering. We recommend holding an account here as they often have much better lines on underdogs than some of the other books on our recommended list. This is because they typically receive heavy action on favorites, giving you the perfect opportunity to pounce on an inflated underdog line. They’ll also give you a 20% initial deposit bonus, plus they offer a wide variety of special bonuses throughout the baseball season. We always recommend holding an account at a dime line sportsbook like the two above, but for maximum profits every baseball season you should really have accounts at one of them, plus a book like Bovada.

How to read Baseball Las Vegas Money Line Odds
Choose one team or the other for the win!
If you’re betting Major League Baseball money line wagers, you will either be cheering for the favorite or the underdog to pick up the victory, as long as the game officially goes past the midway point (through the top of the fifth inning). A game must at least become official, per the rules of MLB, before a winner is determined. And when you are betting the money line, you will either select the favorite or the underdog to win outright, and you needn’t worry about margin of victory. Simple, right?
Similar to our Run-line and 1st Five Inning Odds, every game on the board shows with pitcher information, as well the Date and Time of the Major League Baseball games of the evening.
Baseball will list Favorites and Underdogs for that day’s games. The Money Line Odds will show the favorite listed with a (-), and the underdogs will be indicated by a (+) symbol. Most betting sites online, as well as all betting apps, will do the math for you. But it’s a rather simple equation based upon $100 wager.
N.Y. Yankees -125 (Bet $100 to win $80)
Tampa Bay +110 (Bet $100 to win $110)
In the above example, N.Y. Yankees is listed as the favorite (-), while Tampa Bay is considered the underdog. If someone making a wager selected the Yankees, favored to win, they would return only $80 on a $100 wager at minus-125. Some books will also offer fractional odds, and in this particular instance the Yankees would be a 4/5 favorite. The decimal format is sometimes listed, especially popular overseas, and the Yankees would be listed at 1.80 on the big board.
Since the Yankees are the favorite, the Rays are considered the underdog and bettors receive a larger return on their initial stake. In the example above, a $100 winning wager on the Rays would return a $210 total, which includes a $110 win and your original $100 stake. The fractional odds for this example would be 11/10, with the Yankees listed at 2.100 with the decimal conversion.
