History

Historical Context

The June 26 2018 Supreme Court ruling in Murphy v. NCAA struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, legalizing sports betting nationwide. Following the decision, FanDuel launched MLB wagering, and by 2023 the industry generated $1.5 billion in handle across 30 states. Today, the Phillies–Giants doubleheader features FanDuel odds of -144 for Philadelphia and +122 for San Francisco, mirroring the post-ruling betting boom. This legal shift fuels deeper analytics in baseball, prompting sportsbooks like NBC Sports Bet to publish detailed ATS records and run-line spreads for each game.
