Who Are the Best Run Line Teams in MLB Entering June? (Target Underdogs Like Rangers, Orioles, Diamondbacks)

We’ve made it through the first two months of betting on MLB, and there’s a few teams that have been much better to wager on than others, especially on the run line. 

Baseball run lines are almost exclusively set at +1.5 and -1.5, with varying juice on either side of the run line. 

That means favorites have to win pretty convincingly, while underdogs need to keep things within one run to cover. It’s extremely tough to gauge in a low-scoring sport, and it’s a reason why I am a big fan of just backing moneylines when betting on baseball. 

That being said, some teams have really been a step above the rest on the run line in 2022. Let’s check out which teams you should consider betting on the run line at WynnBET going forward this season. 

Best MLB Teams on the Run Line

• Texas Rangers: 30-18
• Arizona Diamondbacks: 31-20
• New York Mets: 31-20

The Rangers may seem like a shocker here, as they are just 24-24 on the season, but they have come on as of late to take the stop spot on the run line in MLB. The Rangers have done most of their damage as an underdog, going 23-11 on the run line so far this season. They are 17-17 straight up as underdogs, which is a major reason why they lead the league in this stat. 

The Diamondbacks are similar to the Rangers, as they have also hovered around .500 this season, but the Mets are a different case. New York is one of four teams that has covered as a favorite in at least 56 percent of its games this season. 

The Mets deserve bettors’ trust, as they are 10.5 games up in the NL East already this season. 

Best MLB Teams on the Run Line at Home

• Baltimore Orioles: 16-8
• Texas Rangers: 14-10
• Cleveland Guardians: 10-8

The O’s at Camden Yards have been a lock this season!

Baltimore has surprised a lot of people with a 21-30 start to this season. The O’s are almost never favored (just three times this season), but they have been able to keep things close thanks to a solid bullpen (sixth in bullpen ERA). 

Best MLB Teams on the Run Line on the Road

• San Diego Padres: 19-7
• Oakland Athletics: 19-7
• Arizona Diamondbacks: 15-7

The Padres have been ELITE as road underdogs this season, going 11-2 on the run line, which has propelled them to this top spot. The A’s are in a similar spot, as they’ve been a dog in all of their 26 road games, covering in 19 and going 13-13 straight up in those matchups. 

The Diamondbacks have also made their way into this list with an 11-11 straight up record as a road dog this season. 

The Padres will likely be favored on the road more as they continue to play well, but right now they are a must bet as road dogs.
