For example, the pitcher for a particular team can make all the difference. Say a team, like the Kansas City Royals, has a horrific record. If it were a basketball team or a football team, the Royals would be the underdog against almost every single other team. Now say the Royals have a pitcher who is just fantastic, and despite the fact that they are the worst team in the league, win every single game that this pitcher starts and finishes. Baseball betting odds are created using the pitchers listed for the game, the starting pitcher, or the team as a whole. Depending on which you as the bettor choose, it will change the odds and the amount of money you make on a particular game. Overall, the pitcher is considered to be the most important aspect of creating baseball betting odds. Surprisingly, home field advantage is a much smaller consideration.

That being said, there is one major difference in baseball betting odds as opposed to other sports, like football or basketball, and that is that there is no point spread. Instead, baseball odds are written in what is called a money line. The money line is basically the baseball betting odds expressed as a dollar figure. For example, let's say the Dodgers have -130 odds to win a particular game that is basically -1.3 odds to win a particular game. In other words, a person would have to bet $130 to win $100 if the dodgers win. Negative money lines exist when that particular team is a favorite to win a particular game. Now let's say that the Marlins have +130 to win a game. This means that if bettor puts up $100 and the Marlins win, the bettor makes $130 on his $100 investment.
