All baseball betting lines are not created equal. In a game carrying a dime line, a minus 130 favorite would be paired with an underdog of plus 120. If that same game carried a 20-cent line, the underdog would get back only plus 110. Ten cents on the dollar, even for a moderate bettor, can easily add up to hundreds, possibly thousands, of dollars over the course of a baseball season. The best bets for baseball bettors, the following sports books don't break their dime line until the minus 180 to minus 200 range.
