When you read MLB Vegas odds, you should check whether they have a plus or minus sign. The bookies present the favorite with a minus symbol. The Toronto Blue Jays may have MLB odds of 105 while the San Diego Padres have MLB odds of -125. When betting on San Diego Padres, you have to wager $125 so that you win $100. If you pick the Blue Jays to win the game, you have to wager $100 to win $105. When it comes to reading MLB odds, the moneyline is the simplest type of betting line. It also provides a way to determine the payouts for other types of bets.

That means a successful $100 bet on the Braves will generate winnings of $1
