Baseball betting can be confusing for newcomers, especially when dealing with point spreads. So, what does the “-1.5” mean in baseball betting? It’s a type of run line bet where the favored team must win by more than 1.5 runs for the bettor to win.
- Run Line: Essentially the baseball equivalent of a point spread in other sports.
- -1.5 Spread: Indicates the favored team must win by at least 2 runs.
- Underdog Advantage: The opposing team can lose by 1 run, and bets on them still win.
Understanding these basics helps in making informed betting decisions.
