Baseball handicaps almost always start at 1.5 runs. That single number, called the run line, turns a lopsided moneyline into a closer price and explains much of how MLB betting works. Around it, sportsbooks build totals, first-five-innings markets and season-long futures. Each one settles on a different slice of the game, and pitching changes, extra innings or rain can alter the outcome of a bet before the final out. A clear sense of which market answers which question helps a crypto bettor read an MLB board with confidence, whether it shows a Tuesday in May or a playoff night.
