How to Read MLB Prop Bet Stats and Make Better Betting Decisions

You’ve seen the numbers: win rates, units gained, ROI — but what do they really mean for player prop bets in MLB?

Whether you're following our picks or tracking your own, knowing how to interpret the stats behind your bets is key to long-term success. Let’s break it all down.

📊 Understanding the Stats Behind Player Prop Bets

Here are the key metrics you’ll see in every betting report:

• Win-Loss-Draw Record
  Example: 56-32-4 — this means 56 wins, 32 losses, 4 voided picks.
• ROI (Return on Investment)
  If you bet $100 per pick and earn 5% ROI, that’s $5 profit per bet.
• Units Gained
  A unit is your standard bet size. +15 units = 15x your base stake.

Understanding these three helps you evaluate whether a betting strategy is actually profitable — not just lucky.

🧮 How to Use This Data in Your MLB Betting

If you’re following Player Props or making your own picks, here’s how to apply the numbers:

1. Track Your Own ROI
   Stay accountable. Logging your own bets lets you see what’s working (and what isn’t).
2. Adjust Unit Size Based on Confidence
   Higher confidence ≠ higher bet size. Stick to a consistent system.
3. Spot Trends in Performance
   Are you better at pitching props? Avoiding HR bets? Use that knowledge.
