Find Today’s Free MLB Best Bets via the Fantasy Life Bet Tracker 

The Fantasy Life Bet Tracker is the place to go to find free analysis and picks for the MLB season.

Our betting analysts will list their best plays on the bet tracker and provide both their reasoning and analysis behind the pick – along with which sportsbooks offer the best odds on the market. 

In the offseason, you can also find futures bets in the bet tracker such as award categories and team totals/betting when they become available.

The bets listed on Fantasy Life will cover the entire spectrum of the MLB. Player props, over/under (totals), run lines, moneylinesparlays and whatever else our analysts feel they have an edge on will pop up.

As the season wears on, you’ll also have a chance to track the bets while our team continues to churn out new ideas every week.

What can you find on the Fantasy Life MLB Bet Tracker?

The MLB Bet tracker is an extension of everything you find at Fantasy Life, including the people driving it.

The bets and picks are always free, but the best part is that each one will have a write-up with the reasoning behind it – which means you’ll get a chance to understand the analyst’s process before deciding whether or not to add the pick to your portfolio.

We’ll also have a spot to track the analysts as the season progresses. Since the MLB includes a wide array of betting markets, their bets will also be broken down via the betting different categories (e.g. futures, props, run lines) so you can track based on category preference as well. 

The tool will also provide you with a suggestion for where to place the bet. Not every sportsbook offers the same line on every game or prop, but our analysts will shop for the best lines available on each play they enter. The aim is to take a lot of time and effort out of your hands and make tailoring the plays easier and more profitable. 

How to use the Fantasy Life MLB Best Bets Tracker  

The MLB best bets tracker aims to provide you with good advice while taking some of the time and effort that goes into researching and line-shopping a bet out of your hands. It’s meant to be an all-encompassing tool for betting while giving you exposure to the plays and thoughts of experienced bettors.
The Bet Tracker can be used in a variety of different ways, but a general guide is below:

Search for the kind of bets you are looking for 

The bet tracker will include a variety of different bets, with the most recently placed bets found at the top of the tracker for various sports, including the NFLNBANHL, and College Football

You can search through (top to bottom) to find the kinds of plays you are looking for in an upcoming week.

The bet tracker allows you to search through all the bets (most recent to least) and use the ones that you think represent the best value or opportunity. You can choose based on category (prop, spread, etc) and you can also search via betting expert. Each bet will always show which of our analysts placed the bet, so if you are tailing one specific person, then you will be able to clearly see his or her plays as they are produced for a future week. 

Decide which bets you want to follow

Regardless of how you decide to use and search through the MLB bet tracker, our analysts will have you covered with some great analysis and reasoning. Once you are done taking in their thoughts, you can then decide to tail one specific analyst for the week or simply mix and match based on which bets you think are the most enticing. 

The great thing about the MLB betting tracker is that, regardless of what route you take, you’ll have the ability, each and every week, to read through the bets and decide. 

Place your bets using the sportsbooks links

Once you’ve read the analysis and decided what bets you want to place, then it’s time to find the best price and place for you to make your bet. The bets placed in the bet tracker will always come with a recommended place to make the bet based on price or availability. 

Line shopping is a hugely important part of becoming a successful bettor, and the bet tracker will always include the best available sportsbook with which to place a bet. 

It’s important to note that many of the bets placed in the bet tracker will include early-day lines as our analysts attempt to jump on and take advantage of any edges they see forming in the marketplace. 

If you are trying to tail a bet placed early in the day on the bet tracker, you will most certainly want to do some line shopping to see if the best available line has shifted – as the originally posted line may have become stale. 

It always behooves you to look around for the best line available when placing a bet, and if you are looking for more information on line shopping in general, you can find a quick and easy guide here

Keep tracking as the season goes on

The bet tracker will update with new bets and analyses each day while tracking performance. Whether you are a long-term bettor or just looking for a few casual bets for a few days of the season, keeping up to date with the tracker is certainly recommended.

What kind of MLB bets can you find on the Fantasy Life MLB bet tracker?

The aim of the Fantasy Life Bet Tracker is to provide you with the best array of MLB bets across the entire spectrum of the betting market. That means we are not limiting ourselves to just one category of bets. Spread bets (run lines) and totals will certainly encompass a large portion of the bets found on the be tracker, but some of the best edges for MLB betting exist in more exotic markets like game and player props

Below is a brief description of some of the kinds of bets we’ll be featuring and links to more information about each specific market. 

MLB Best Bets Against The Spread 

The spread is a concept used in sports betting that refers to artificial handicaps made by sportsbooks in an attempt to even out a matchup between opponents. Spreads are essentially oddsmakers giving their bettors an estimate of the margin of victory or defeat in a game.

Since the spread market is so heavily bet and influenced by player availability, you will often see the spreads change (sometimes significantly) throughout the course of a day when team injury reports are filed.

To take advantage of some of these early against the spread lines or day-of line movement, be sure to keep checking out the bet tracker at the beginning of every day right through to the end to see the new edges the analysts think are worth exploiting.

MLB Moneyline Best Bets

moneyline wager on a sportsbook involves answering a very simple question:

Who do we think will win the game or match? 

There are no totals or spreads to bet against. In a straight moneyline bet, all we are attempting to do is pick the winner.

Perhaps it’s a big underdog who is being undervalued in terms of their actual win equity or a favorite who is playing a weak opponent, making it an ideal time to make a multi-unit play. Moneyline bets are still relevant in the MLB and can also be used as legs when building out parlays

MLB Total Best Bets

The total is a number set by the sportsbook, which indicates the combined number of runs they expect to be scored by both teams in a specific game. This number allows bettors to take a side (over/under) and wager against the total.

Total bets are another prominent market in the MLB. Like against the spread lines, numbers in the over/under market tend to move throughout the day and can be influenced by things like player injury updates, lineup changes, and, of course, the betting handle and volume being taken in on either side (over or under). 

MLB Prop Bets

Prop betting has exploded in popularity over the last few seasons. Prop betting is betting on an event that takes place inside or during a game or sporting event. Prop bets expand our betting options by allowing us to bet on different contest elements. Player performance, team totals, who will score first, and for MLB betting specifically, hits, strikeouts, and home run props are just some examples of the opportunities prop bets provide us.

The player prop market specifically is now so vast in the MLB that many of the opportunities in this market can often go overlooked.

Once individual and game props are released every day (usually, they start dropping mid-morning pending injury news), you’ll be able to find a big variety of prop bets in the MLB Bet Tracker from our analysts. 

If you are looking for more information on prop bets, you can find a quick and easy guide here.

MLB Parlay Best Bets 

parlay bet is a common form of wagering where two or more bets are combined together into a single bet.

Once you place a parlay wager, for it to cash, every leg of the parlay must be graded as a win. Even losing just a single leg of a parlay results in the overall parlay bet being graded as a loss. 

As a result of this rule, parlay bets are much more difficult to win than singular bets, as they always involve winning two or more legs.

However, they are also very attractive, allowing bettors to combine odds on multiple events while giving them access to much bigger payouts.

Occasionally, you’ll see some parlays pop up in the MLB Bet Tracker. Single-game parlays that correlate events from within a game can also be a great way to access bigger payouts.
