Betting on MLB Baseball
Baseball betting totals at SBG Global are something that serious players look at each year. There are a number of factors to consider when looking at totals in MLB betting including umpires. That is why every MLB betting season we want to advice you what to look at every time you wager baseball at SBG Global.
Baseball betting for some people really does involve wagering on totals. There are gamblers and handicappers that consider totals a great way to make money in baseball betting. Some of those gamblers really look at the umpire factor. Finding out the home plate umpire before each game is easy enough to do, so taking umpires into consideration when betting totals is something you should consider.
Baseball betting totals are available on every game from April until June at SBG Global. That means you have a lot of games to choose from. Looking at umpires is one way to increase your chances of winning in MLB betting. Remember that umpires rotate from first base to home plate and around the diamond so you can easily predict who the next day’s umpire will be. Also, you can go to the stats page and verify the Umpire Report. MLB stats with us also include games, matchups, team stats, pitcher stats, pitcher reports, standings, trends and injuries.
If you are looking at baseball betting totals there are some things to remember going back to the umpire trend. It seems like a good idea when you bet on baseball to follow statistics from previous years but for some reason the data doesn’t always hold true with umpires. It could be that umpires are human and not the most consistent so their trends are tough to figure out. Nevertheless, SGB Global always tries to have the best and most precise statistics for all MLB betting fans.
With baseball betting totals there are the basic stats like ERA, hitting, home/away numbers etc. Those are usually incorporated into the MLB betting line. The umpire is never taken into consideration as the oddsmakers simply don’t care who is behind the plate. This also applies to baseball bet sides since there are trends for umpires in terms of how they call a game for the home or the road team. Most people ignore this factor but there are some interesting stats to look at in regards to umpires.
There is no question that totals in baseball betting don’t get as much attention as sides. That doesn’t mean they can’t be profitable and looking at the umpire factor might just give you the added edge you need to win in MLB betting at our sportsbook.

Baseball betting: Who will win the World Series?
According to MLB betting lines, if the World Series started today, it would pit the American League’s Detroit Tigers or Oakland Athletics versus the National League’s Los Angeles Dodgers or San Francisco Giants. Regardless of which teams make it though, the AL representative would be the favorite to become the 2014 to win the 110th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series.

Baseball betting favorites for 2014 MVP
There are a few MLB betting favorites to win the World Series, but individual performance is also rewarded in the form of the National League and American League Most Valuable Player awards. Last year’s NL MVP Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates has good odds of repeating like his AL counterpart Miguel Cabrera did in 2012 and 2013. Cabrera himself has a good chance of pulling threepeat, but neither he nor McCutchen are in the lead at the moment. McCutchen is in fact trailing Troy Tulowitzki and Giancarlo Stanton (formerly known as Mike).
