What is the run line in baseball betting at Stake?

The run line is baseball's version of a point spread, set at 1.5 runs — betting the favorite means they must win by 2+ runs, while the underdog can lose by 1 or win outright.

What are first-5-innings bets at Stake?

First-5-innings markets settle based only on the score after 4.5 or 5 complete innings, making them popular for games with unreliable bullpens and a strong starting pitcher matchup.

Does Stake offer MLB player props?
