A popular MLB betting option for bettors at the outset of the season is baseball season win totals. The concept of this bet is easy. Sportsbooks place lines on a team, and you have to pick whether or not the team will go over or under that total.

You have to be very careful with these though, because everything isn't exactly cut and dry. The important thing to note is that these props are based on the number of wins, not the number of losses.

Especially at the end of the season, if you end up with games getting rained out (or as the case might have it that late in the year, snowed out), and those games aren't made up, they're as good as losses. That being said, you could easily be basing your team's season off of as few as 160 games, which is the limit for most teams to play for these bets to have action.

You also have to remember that the "team" you're betting on at the start of the year might not be the same looking one that you see at the end of the season. A team like the Pittsburgh Pirates is more likely to make its team worse at the MLB trade deadline, which could set up more losses down the stretch. Meanwhile, the New York Yankees are likely making trades to bolster their roster during that same time, factors that are impossible to predict at the start of the year, just like injuries.

Still, baseball season win totals, like baseball futures are very popular and very easy ways to cheer on or root against a team all season long, and they definitely should be weapons in your arsenal for Spring Training.
