Run lines typically sit at 1.5 runs with corresponding odds, while totals reflect projected combined runs scored.

Line shopping becomes crucial given baseball's daily schedule and varying vig across operators. A five-cent difference on a -110 total might seem minimal, but compounds significantly over a full season of betting.
