What Is the MLB?

Major League Baseball (MLB) is one of the big hitters when it comes to baseball tournaments in the United States of America and Canada. The MLB comprises of 30 teams which are split evenly into the National League (NL) and the American League (AL).

The National agreement between the NL and AL in 1903 makes this major professional tournament one of the oldest in the world. The winning teams of the NL and AL compete in the annual World Series. The Toronto Blue Jays of the AL’s East Division is the only Canadian MLB team while the remaining 29 clubs are from the United States.

American League Baseball Teams

The AL is made up of 15 competing teams that are divided into three divisions (East, Central, and West) comprising of five clubs each.

Since the Word Series began in 1903 following the peace agreement between the two leagues, the AL teams have won the most Commissioner’s Trophies with 68 combined titles as of 2023.

The New York Yankees formerly Baltimore Orioles/New York Highlanders are the most successful MLB franchise of all time with a record 27 World Series titles, 20 AL East Division honors, and 40 American League trophies.

Just like the AL, the NL has 15 member teams which are further grouped into three divisions of five teams each – East, Central, and West.

MLB Spring Training

Spring training is the preseason for MLB teams where a sequence of test and exhibition games take place before the regular season opens. This preseason period typically starts in early February and continues until the commencement of the regular season.

During this period, players can practice and try for different positions within the team. For the 2024 season, spring training is officially slated to start on 22nd February.

MLB Regular Season

The MLB regular season normally starts and ends in five months. It begins in late March or early April and finishes in late September or early October of the same year.

The 2024 regular season officially starts on 20th March with all 30 teams scheduled to play on Opening Day. During the regular season, each team is scheduled to play 162 games.

This includes 13 games against their division rivals (52 games), each team playing 6 matches against 6 opponents and 7 games versus 4 opponents in the same league (64 games), and each franchise playing 46 interleague games.

For the first time in MLB’s history, regular-season games will take place in South Korea as the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres square off in a two-game series in Seoul on March 20th and March 21st of the 2024 season.

MLB All-Star Game

This game is usually played every year on the second or third Tuesday in July. The one-day MLB All-Star Game is played between a group of exceptional players selected from the two leagues.

The next MLB All-Star Game is officially scheduled to be played on July 16th, 2024.

MLB Postseason

The MLB postseason involves 12 teams, six from each league, with the teams seeded from Seed 1 to Seed 6 based on their qualification route. The postseason tournament takes place after the conclusion of the regular season and takes approximately one month to complete.

There are four rounds of games: the Wild Card Series, the Division Series, the Championship Series, and the World Series which is played in late October or early November. The wildcard series are best-of-three format, and the division series are played in a best-of-five, with home-field advantage going to the higher seed. However, the Championship Series and the World Series are played in a best-of-seven format.

This means games 1, 2, 6, and 7 are played in the stadium of the team that has a home-field advantage, and games 3, 4, and 5 are hosted by the other team. The maximum and minimum number of games that can be played during the postseason are 53 and 32 in that order, meaning there are plenty of MLB baseball betting opportunities available to players.

How Does MLB Sports Betting Work?  

Many punters want to know the answer to the question β€œhow does MLB betting work?”. At Betiton, you can place a bet on which team will win a matchup, the total number of runs that will be made, the pitcher to record the most saves during the regular season, the player to make the most hits of the regular season, and many events covered in our MLB betting lines.

MLB Betting Odds

Baseball odds at Betiton are numbers used to represent the likelihood of a specific outcome of a game or event happening and they come in three types: Decimal, American, and Fractional.

You can switch to whatever format you prefer by using the menu located in the right hand corner of the screen.

MLB Types of Bets

Take a look at some of the main MLB betting markets we offer at Betiton Canada.

  • Moneyline: Moneyline betting is about placing a wager on which team will win a game. The final score doesn’t matter here. The focus is on who wins. This is one of the simplest forms of MLB online betting that you can choose at Betiton.
  • Run Line Betting: This is similar to spread betting available in other sports betting. The run line is commonly set at 1.5 runs by most bookmakers. You can bet whether or not a team will cover that run line. This means that for your selected team to cover the -1.5-run line and win the bet, it must win the game by two or more runs, and the underdog has to lose by less than two runs or win the game to cover the +1.5.
  • Totals: In MLB betting online, you can bet on the totals of a game rather than picking a side is another option that you can go with. For this, the bookmaker makes a projection on the total number of runs both teams will make in a game. You can either bet that the combined runs of the teams will be over or under the set total of the sportsbook.
  • Propositions: These are wagers you place on whether or not a specific player-based stats or performance will happen, or you bet on one team to achieve something such as a team that will score first.
  • Futures: An MLB future wager is betting on a baseball event that will be decided in the long term. At Betiton, you can bet on which team you think will win the World Series, which pitcher will make the most saves in the regular season, the player to make the most hits of the regular season, and so on.

MLB Betting Tips by Betiton Canada

Check out our goldenMLB betting tips that you may consider before making your betting decisions.

  • Examine the starting pitchers. When betting on MLB, keep in mind that the starting pitcher can be a massive factor in deciding the outcome of a game.
  • Consider the MLB betting stats of hitters versus pitchers. Also, check their right and left splits. Perhaps the team you intend to bet on has an excellent record against right hitters but struggles against lefties. This can help you make better decisions.
  • Make sure to track the starting lineups and injury list. Knowing which players are starting for the teams or which key players are ruled out due to injuries can give you a strong idea about a game’s most likely outcome.
  • Consider the weather conditions. The temperature, wind speed, humidity, and snowfall are all factors that can have a significant impact on MLB games. For example, the trajectory of a ball experiences little resistance in hot weather as compared to when the weather is cold.
  • Consider the MLB public betting trend before placing your bets but remember that the public is not always right.
