Why is run line bet the most sought after bet in baseball betting?

Question

I have seen many baseball bettors placing run line bets most of the time. I would like to know, why run line bet is the most sought after bet in baseball betting? Please specify the reasons.

Answer 1

The main reason to bet run lines in baseball is to take down the price on the favorite. Sometimes handicapping can lead you to a favorite but the price is very expensive. You have another option instead of laying the big price. You can bet the run line and lay less money but lay 1.5 runs. If you can accept the fact that you have to win by two runs you can get a lot better price on the game.

When looking at run line betting you must remember that a run line favorite on the road always gets more at bats than run line favorites at home. That is an important point to remember. That can make it harder to score the runs on the favorite at home. You should know that the run line price is affected by whether the team is on the road or at home.
