Key MLB Markets


Orioles Daily Markets

Full pre-game and live markets on every Orioles game. Camden Yards historically rates as a slight hitter's park; adjust totals expectations accordingly.

Run Lines

The MLB spread equivalent. Favorite at -1.5 (must win by 2+), underdog at +1.5 (lose by 1 or win outright). Often pays plus money on short-priced moneyline favorites.

Starting Pitcher Props

Strikeouts (Over/Under), recorded outs, earned runs. Pricing moves heavily on pitcher confirmations; always wait for the official lineup post.
