The spread, or the run line, is much less popular in baseball than it is in football or basketball. The books almost always set the line at 1.5, with one team needing to win by two or more runs, and the other needing to stay within a run in a loss, or win outright. Betting on the two-run victory for a favorite will always offer greater value than the moneyline for the same side, while the potential profit margin can drop significantly for the underdog. On occasion, (typically later in the season when games can become more lopsided) lines may rise to 2 or even 2.5, but this is rare.

In spread-based betting, oddsmakers install a number that can be all over the map from the low single digits up to double digits and then some. For MLB, the standard run line is set at 1.5. You can take the favorite minus the runs or pick the underdog plus the number. The favorite covers by winning by two runs or more, while the underdog covers by keeping the margin less than the run line or by winning outright.
