If you want to improve your betting returns, a good place to start is to analyse a large sample size of MLB betting stats. Doing so can help you find angles and biases that other tipsters and bettors simply do not consider. Here we will take a look at MLB stats dating back to the 2007 season beginning with a situational analysis of straight up win-loss results.
The table below shows win-loss percentages for teams in a range of situations. For example, we can see that home teams win almost 54% of games. This represents a home field advantage that is less than that of the NFL where home teams win around 57% of their games.
One factor that is often discussed when it comes to expert picks is rest. We can see that while there is no distinct advantage for a team coming off a number of days rest, there is an advantage when a team has had more rest than their opponents, with such teams winning over 51% of their games. It’s only a slight advantage, but it’s a factor to keep in mind when betting on MLB fixtures.
| Situation | WIN PCT | LOSS PCT |
|---|---|---|
| Home Teams | 53.9% | 46.1% |
| Away Teams | 46.1% | 53.9% |
| Favourites | 57.6% | 42.4% |
| Underdogs | 42.4% | 57.6% |
| Home Favourites | 58.5% | 41.5% |
| Home Underdogs | 44.3% | 55.7% |
| Away Favourites | 55.7% | 44.3% |
| Away Underdogs | 41.5% | 58.5% |
| After A Win | 51.2% | 48.8% |
| After A Loss | 48.8% | 51.2% |
| After 1 Days Rest | 50.4% | 49.6% |
| After 2 or 3 Days Rest | 50.1% | 49.9% |
| After 4 or More Days Rest | 50.5% | 49.5% |
| With More Rest | 51.4% | 48.6% |
Run lines are a popular way of betting on MLB games. A run line is essentially a 1.5 run handicap given to the favourite and a 1.5 run advantage given to the underdog. While we can see distinct advantages for teams in certain situations, such as underdogs playing away from home, we do need to consider the betting odds for these games, as run line odds can vary from between 1.50 and 2.50.
| Situation | RUN LINE WIN PCT | RUN LINE LOSS PCT |
|---|---|---|
| Home Teams | 45.8% | 54.2% |
| Away Teams | 54.2% | 45.8% |
| Favourites | 41.6% | 58.4% |
| Underdogs | 58.4% | 41.6% |
| Home Favourites | 40.6% | 59.4% |
| Home Underdogs | 49.4% | 50.6% |
| Away Favourites | 56.5% | 43.5% |
| Away Underdogs | 59.4% | 40.6% |
| After A Win | 49.5% | 50.5% |
| After A Loss | 50.5% | 49.5% |
Run totals for matches vary from 8 runs to 10 runs. Can we see any distinct biases in MLB run total betting? While nothing jumps off the page, we can see that non league games finish under the run total 51% of the time, as do non division games.
| Situation | OVER WIN PCT | UNDER WIN PCT |
|---|---|---|
| League Games | 49.3% | 50.7% |
| Division Games | 49.7% | 50.3% |
| Playoff Games | 50.1% | 49.9% |
| Non League Games | 48.6% | 51.4% |
| Non Division Games | 48.9% | 51.1% |
| Regular Season Games | 49.2% | 50.8% |
