Help me out here - I’ve stared at these kinds of numbers long enough without understanding them.

What’s the deal?

If you bet a dollar on the ML you’ll win .80 on the Yanks or 1.65 on the Guardians.

The over/under is 9.5 for runs scored.

The Yankees are favored by 1.5 runs.
 
So how does -200 get you 80 cents? I don’t understand the relationship between -200 and 80 cents. Can you explain the math?

1.00-.20=0.80
- means that team is favored, you win less when you a bet on a favorite.

The ML is essentially the odds but you have to take into consideration that when you when you win you get back your initial bet plus the winnings.

- = favorite, better odds to win, less payout
+ = underdog, longer odds to win, better payout

+200 means 2-1. So you will win $2 for every $1 that you bet. If I bet $10 then I will win $30. That is $20 for the win (2 * $10) plus my original stake ($10). +250 is 2.5-1 and so on.

If it is -200 then it is 1-2. So you will win .50 for every dollar that you bet. If you bet $10 then you will win $15. $5 for the win and your original $10 back. -250 is 1-2.5 and so on.

That’s what I thought. -200 means you have to bet $200 to win $100, and +155 means a $100 bet wins $155, right. I was thoroughly confused by Bigs .80 cents example.
 
The Braves seem to suck this year.

I thought there was another thread devoted to meeting.
