How to read a point spread in baseball betting?

Question

I am unable to understand the point spread in baseball betting, though I have experience of other sports betting. Can you help me know, how to read a point spread in baseball betting?

Answer 1

Point spread is the most common betting type offered in football and basketball betting. The sportsbook spreads the odd of a certain match by subtracting points from the favorite team, which is the team most likely to win and adding points to the underdog, which is the team that will raise a lot of eyebrows if wins.
