Just because a team is fantastic against the MLB betting moneylines doesn’t make it an awful squad against the run-lines. Here at BetUS Sportsbook, we’re keeping you in the know for how to beat the less popular lines to bet baseball on. See who joins the woeful Brewers on this MLB betting list!

1: Milwaukee Brewers (18-29, -$1,404) – If the Brewers don’t start to get some pitching together, they’re not going to be beating moneylines, run-lines, alternate lines, or any other lines aside from the maybe the unemployment lines! Milwaukee’s problem with beating any of the lines has to do with the fact that its pitching staff is just prone to giving up the big inning seemingly every night. It’s nearly impossible to come back from a 4+ run inning to cover anything in MLB betting action.

2: Chicago White Sox (17-30, -$1,356) – If you thought that manager Ozzie Guillen was unhappy with umpire Joe West after a balk call against his LHP Mark Buehrle a few days ago, he certainly won’t like the fact that no team in the majors has a worse record against the run-line than his club. The Pale Hose have come out on the wrong end of the run-line in four straight one run games, which isn’t going to help matters any for a team that only has eight wins by more than one run all month long.

3: Houston Astros (20-27, -$1,339) – What this is telling us is that the Astros are underdogs quite a bit. Teams that are only seven games under .500 on the run-line shouldn’t be out over 13 units worth of coin on the season. The ‘Stros did lose a one run game and cash on the run-line last night in Milwaukee, but that’s something that has only happened six times all season long. Just like so many other bad teams in baseball, it’s hard to make headway on the run-line when you can’t lose games by just one run. The oddsmakers have really yet to react.

4: Cleveland Indians (20-25, -$1,112) – This is the exact same situation that Houston is in. The Tribe have only picked up victories on the run-line in four games for the entire season in which they lost, the lowest amount for any team in baseball that is regularly an underdog. (Meaning teams like the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees that are favorites nearly every night don’t count in this statistic, as they have combined for zero wins against the run-line in games that they have been underdogs in). Until Cleveland starts winning games, winning run-lines is going to prove to be just as difficult.

5: Texas Rangers (18-29, -$938) – Now here’s an odd team to throw in this mix. The Rangers are +$136 on the season on the moneyline and they play in a ballpark that is historically known for having a smaller amount of one run games than most. Texas doesn’t quite have the offense this year that it normally does, and the oddsmakers have caught on to the fact that this is probably the best team in the AL West. As a result, a few extra one run games have gone a long way in crippling run-line bettors for the Rangers.
