Percentages are our win probability for each side and always total 100, because baseball cannot end level. The tip is our one call on each fixture, and it names its own market. 1 is the home side, 2 the away side, matching the percentages. A tip with no label is a straight win. Handicap 1 (-1.5) is the home side after that run line is applied, and Over / under O 10.5 is the match passing that many runs. Green means the call won, red means it lost, amber means it has not settled yet. Losing calls stay on the page, which is what the accuracy record is built from. The last column shows the start time until a fixture begins, then the live score, then the final score.
How Baseball Over / under Settles
What counts, and what does not
- The line. The total is the combined runs of both sides including extra innings. A line of 8.5 wins the over at nine or more.
- Overtime. Extra innings count and a game cannot end level in MLB. The moneyline, the run line and the total all settle on the final score including extra innings. Some leagues outside MLB allow ties after a set number of innings; where a tie is possible the row says so.
- Both sides count. It does not matter who scores, only the combined figure.
Settlement rules vary slightly between bookmakers. Where practice differs we say "most bookmakers"; check the rules of the one you use before placing anything.
About Our Baseball Over / under Predictions
What the market is, how we rate it, where it tends to land and how to use the page
Baseball over / under predictions rate the combined runs of a game against the bookmaker line, and ignore who wins. Baseball totals in MLB usually sit between 7.5 and 9.5 runs and depend more on the two starting pitchers than on anything else. NPB and KBO totals run in a similar range but the leagues differ in how far the ball travels and how often sides bunt. We rate the total on every game we cover and list the ones where our expected figure sits far enough from the line, from the card on the baseball predictions hub.
How the Total Settles
The total is the combined runs of both sides including extra innings. A line of 8.5 wins the over at nine or more.
What Drives a Baseball Total
The starting pitchers are the first driver of a baseball total, and they are confirmed in advance, which is why our rating is published once the probable starters are listed. The ballpark is the second; some parks favour hitters and some pitchers. Wind and the bullpen are the rest. The method is on how we make predictions.
Reading This Page
The baseball total is the market where the starting pitchers matter most, and our rating is published only once the probable starters are listed. The ballpark is the other driver, since some parks favour hitters and some pitchers, and the rating uses park adjusted run figures. The competitions that produce most of the rows here are MLB, NPB, KBO, LIDOM.
The Other Two Markets
The straight win page rates the winner and the run line page rates the margin. A total and a margin are often related, because a one sided game tends to carry a different total from a close one, and reading the two pages together on the same fixture is worth the minute it takes.
How to Use This Page
The chips above the table switch market. The country and competition selects narrow the table to one competition without leaving the page. The day pills move to tomorrow or the week ahead, and the date picker goes to any day. Every row links to the full fixture page, where the analysis explains the number. When a pick settles it stays on the site with its result, and the market's strike rate on the accuracy page is calculated from that archive, losses included. The baseball predictions hub carries the same fixtures across every market.
