WHAT IS AN MLB TEAM PROP?
A team prop is a bet on one team’s own performance in a game, not on who wins it. Which team scores first, how many runs one side puts up. The final score is irrelevant.
ONE TEAM • ONE STAT
3 THINGS ONLY
Isolate one club, pick one number, and ignore the other dugout completely.
01
ONE TEAM
Ignore the other side’s score.
02
ONE STAT
First run, total runs, hits.
03
ONE GRADE
Only your team’s total counts.
FORGET THE FINAL SCORE
Baseball is streaky. Team props let you skip the coin flip and bet what you have a read on: one offense against one starter. Score First and Team Totals lead the menu.
SCORE FIRST, THEN THE TOTAL
Braves at Phillies. Philadelphia’s starter has a 6.75 first-inning ERA and Atlanta’s top three hit above .290, so you take Braves to Score First at -125. You also like the bats against a thin pen: Braves Team Total Over 4.5 at -110.
Atlanta loses 7-5. Both tickets cash anyway.

BRAVES -125 • PHI +105
TEAM TOTAL

5 RUNS IN A LOSS STILL CASHES
TWO TICKETS, ONE OFFENSE
Score First at -125: risk $125 to win $100. Team Total Over 4.5 at -110: risk $110 to win $100. Neither needs a W.
$125
RISK → WIN $100
$110
RISK → WIN $100
OVER OR UNDER 4.5
The book sets one team’s run total, usually between 3.5 and 5.5. A dominant starter makes the under attractive; a weak starter and a tired bullpen is an over spot.

[ 4.5 ]

FIRST RUN WINS IT
Score First settles the moment a run crosses, often in the first inning. Check the starter’s first-inning ERA and the other side’s 1-2-3 hitters. Visitors bat first.
BRAVES -125
PHILLIES +105

WRAPPING IT UP
Team props strip a baseball game down to one side and one number. Score First settles in minutes; team totals let you bet an offense without sweating the other dugout. Handicap the starter, the pen and the top of the order. Know the 8.5-inning rule.
KNOW THE 8.5 RULE
FIVE RULES BEFORE YOU BET
Team totals need an official game: 8.5 innings if the home team leads, 9 if it trails. A rain-shortened game voids them, even if you were already over. Score First grades when a run crosses.
01
START WITH ARMS
The opposing pitcher caps every team prop.
02
1ST-INNING ERA
The best single stat for Team to Score First.
03
WATCH THE PEN
Late runs against a tired bullpen decide totals.
04
SPLIT THE LINEUP
Lefty-righty splits show when bats go quiet.
05
PLAN FOR WEATHER
A shortened game voids full-game team totals.
