you would have to know the players on the team strengths weakneses etc so you would have to watch or listion to some of the games also, look up such things as pitcher verses batter stats and how well each player does at a paticuler park etc just don't bet on something just to bet it especially if Baseball is not your cup of tea gamblingis supposed to be enjoyable just don't bet on something that may bore you.
My 2cents:
Basketball (NBA and NCAAB) are the most difficult games to cap, NBA in particular. The bookmakers' lines are usually very sharp to start with.
Baseball is where the money's at.
I can suggest a very simplified way (this being a newbie forum, I hope you don't treat this as condescending). Pardon me if this is "too obviously clear" for you.
The key is identifying value in the line. Let's say a book offers odds on coin flip; -105 heads and -105 tails. There's no value here because ultimately in the long run you'll get 50/50 distribution on heads and tails and you end up losing out on the vig.
However imagine a scenario whereby a stupid book offers -120 heads and +220 tails. If you pound tails all the time eventually you'll come out ahead.
So similarly, you need to cap the chances of winning of a game :lol: easier said than done I know...
