The runline is one of the best ways to bet on baseball, so let's check out MLB's best runline bets for 2025.
Some MLB teams are just better at covering the -1.5 or +1.5 runline than others. It's too early to draw massive conclusions, but the preliminary trends suggest some clubs, like the Dodgers, are primed for a strong season of covering the runline.
Here's the complete 2025 runline report with some highlights below:

MLB Runline Takeaways: Dodgers Are The Club to watch... For Now
There is rampant speculation about how many games the Dodgers will win in 2025. 108? 110? 120? L.A. will inevitably mop the floor with teams on the ML, but that may not translate to direct profit.
Enter the runline. If the Dodgers are such a wagon, who's to say they don't just club teams by two or more runs on most nights? The Dodgers started with a very decisive runline record this year, going 6-1 and covering the 1.5 runline since they were favored in each of those contests.
Braves Struggling Early
I'd also keep an eye on Atlanta. The Braves are wounded yet again with pitching injuries, plus Ronald Acuna Jr. may not return until May. As a result, Atlanta started very slow, especially on offense, leading to a 1-5 runline record through six contests. There is value in fading the Braves if they continue to underperform.
