2026 Baseball Betting Predictions

Baseball starts on Wednesday night and that’s an underrated betting opportunity for sharps out there. The key to wagering on baseball is money management. Picking favorites of -150 or more is not a wise choice. But considering there are 162 games and as many as 15 games per day, you have plenty of opportunities to find good values on a money line, run line or a total. Also, it’s a long season. Pace yourself, don’t get frustrated by losing streaks and don’t chase losses.

Here are my predictions in order of Divisions with last year’s record, money line profit, totals record and odds to win the World Series (from DK).
