Betting MLB Middles for 2013

There are a few ways to bet an mlb Middle .I have listed the two most common below.The second
Is probably more familiar to most than the first ,but both can be a very effective part of you
MLB betting arsenal for the upcoming season.The initial Middle which I'll give an example of on
Todays card.Lets say the Yanks were + money on the Run Line ,which currently they are not.
If they were it would look like this ....Yanks -1.5 +115 .No with the Yanks being such heavy faves right around -175 as of this writing I would bet the on the R/L and take the Dog (Astros) at the Pre season 15 cent line of +160.Only one way to lose this bet and that would be if the game had the Yanks win by 1 run.Other than that you have a built in guaranteed profit



The above example of a typical R/L -M/L middle as opposed to what I like to call a generic 
Middle .In other words a Fave opens -180 and considering eveyone will be using a Dime Line
.We would grab the Dog +170 early and look for the fave to dip to the -160 /-165 Range
effecting a no lose situation .If the Fave wins assuming a 1 Unit bet the profit would obviously 
be one Unit allowing the bettor to push on this middle as the Dog losing would cost -1 Unit.If the Fave should lose the player would lose -160 ,but profit the +170 on the Dog
making the midle a profitable wager .Of course the only bet you're really making here
is that the line moves in the desired direction which unfortunately isn't going to be the case
every time.When this happens you're stuck a bit and need to minimize the damage by getting down on the
Fave in as favorable position as possible and minimizing your losses on that Middle .
All in all you're likely to hit more than you miss ,and it will certainly add up over the course of the Season fattening you Bankroll substantially .

Best of luck this Season
