Miami Marlins Odds

The Miami Marlins are one of two Major League Baseball franchises in Florida and have plenty of fans in the Sunshine State. Bettors in Florida who want to wager on the Marlins and other MLB action can do so in person at several Seminole-owned retail sportsbooks as well as online using the Hard Rock Bet sportsbook app.

Here’s a guide to finding the best Marlins odds throughout the season as well as information about different bet types and trends to help you when placing those MLB bets.

MLB bets for Marlins games

What is the Marlins run line?

Baseball has a bet type of its very own that you won’t find in the NFL, NBA or any other sport. The run line, which is basically the point spread, is almost always set at 1.5 runs. Most online sportsbooks such as the DraftKings betting app or Fanduel betting app will display game odds as follows:

  • Miami Marlins -1.5 (-130)
  • Washington Nationals +1.5 (+120)

The negative odds associated with the Marlins indicate they are the favorites to win this matchup. They need to win by two or more runs to win Miami bets. If you wagered $130 on them and they did indeed succeed in that task, then you’d win $230—your initial wager plus $100 in profit.

A bet on the Nationals would require them to either lose by fewer than two runs or win the game outright. A $100 wager on them would bring back $220 ($120 in winnings).

What is the Marlins moneyline?

The moneyline is the easiest bet to understand in all sports betting. It’s just a simple question of which team is going to win the game. If you pick correctly, you win.

Like the above run line, the odds associated with each team tell you which is the favorite (negative odds) and which is the underdog (positive odds). The payout works the same as above, with any negative number representing how much you have to wager to win $100 and any positive number being the amount you would win if you wagered $100.

Here’s a quick example of what you might see at the Florida online sportsbook, the Hard Rock Bet app, or at others like the BetMGM Florida app:

  • Miami Marlins -130
  • Atlanta Braves +110

You’re seeing that the Marlins are the favorite here, and because there isn’t a very large gap between the odds, you can reasonably assume that oddsmakers expect it to be a close game. Large gaps, such as -200 and +160, would indicate sportsbooks expect the game to be lopsided.

What are the Miami Marlins totals odds?

This bet type is also commonly known as the over/under. The goal is to determine whether the final combined scores of the two teams will be more or fewer runs than predicted by oddsmakers.

If you pick more, you’d be going with the over. Fewer runs would be the under.

Here’s a totals bet example from the BetRivers app:

  • Over 7.5 (-110)
  • Under 7.5 (-110)

Sportsbooks often look at factors like starting lineups, weather, the home field and more when determining the total. The payouts work the same as the other bets we’ve already explained. A $110 bet would win you $210—the original wager plus $100 in profits.

Bet on Marlins props and futures

You don’t always have to bet on which team will win. You can bet on everything ranging from game-day performances to how the Marlins will deliver throughout the entire season.

Prop bets and futures bring a bit of variety to the sports betting industry. They are capable of helping you stay involved in the hobby throughout the year and allow you to wager on some of the finer points of baseball.

When looking at your favorite legal and regulated online or mobile sportsbook, you can find the props and futures wagers for the MLB in the baseball section. You can also click on the main listing for an upcoming game to see the various betting opportunities available for that event.

Some props are designed for the entire season, while others focus on a single game. Some examples include:

  • Over/under on Jazz Chisholm Jr. total hits for today’s game/season
  • Which pitcher will get the most strikeouts? (Out of two options)

The list goes on in the world of prop betting. There is always a large variety of prop bets at the most popular sportsbooks. Props focused on the whole season can range from specific player statistics to total wins. Make sure to shop around before betting, though, as you’ll want to get the best Marlins betting lines and odds available.

Futures bets are wagers made on, well, future events. World Series odds can be released right after the World Series ends and run throughout the offseason and into the regular season.

The sports odds will change depending on the betting opportunity, any new information the oddsmakers come across, public betting trends and more. The earlier a wager is made, the more the potential payout will be, but also a greater risk at a losing bet. Be sure to review the MLB betting rules at your sportsbook to see when futures bets can be ruled no action.

Some futures you’ll potentially see include:

Again, we always suggest you shop around at the various online and mobile sportsbooks to get the absolute best return possible if you’re planning on any futures. For more information on how to bet on MLB, check out our How to Bet on MLB and our MLB betting odds pages.
