After the rollercoaster negotiations between the MLB and MLBPA this offseason, the 2022 MLB season finally got the go-ahead. Although the Arizona Diamondbacks may not be the most entertaining team to watch or root for, there’s certainly excitement surrounding sports betting in Arizona. How does that help the Diamondbacks and their fans? The team struck a partnership with Caesars sportsbook which not only brought its mobile app to Arizona but will also allow for a retail sportsbook right at Chase Field. While you can currently place bets at some of the Chase Field windows, a brand new sportsbook is being built where Game 7 Grill used to be located.
At the beginning of the season, the Diamondbacks had the longest odds to win the 2022 World Series at +20000 (along with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles), according to Caesars sportsbook. The Diamondbacks’ odds to win the National League were also the longest (again, tied with the Pirates) at +12500.
The D-Backs’ performance so far hasn’t done anything to improve their odds, either. As we cross the 50-game mark, the Diamondbacks are tussling with the Colorado Rockies for last in the NL West.
Whether you’re wagering on or against them, this page will lay out everything you need to know about betting on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

How To Bet On The Arizona Diamondbacks in Arizona
If you are looking to bet on the Arizona Diamondbacks, you can do so by finding a licensed and legal sportsbook in Arizona like Caesars. If you don’t feel like heading to a retail sportsbook, you can place bets straight from your phone.
- Search for the sportsbook app of choice in Google Play or the App Store and download it to your phone.
- Register with the sportsbook by providing basic information and verifying your age and location. (Bets must be placed within Arizona state lines)
- Once you have successfully signed up, you can start to deposit funds using a debit card, online bank transfer, or e-wallet like PayPal. We do not recommend using credit cards, as deposits count as cash advance charges.

- Check for any bonus offers that the app has available, especially if you are a new user.
- Place your bet on the Arizona Diamondbacks!
MLB Odds At Arizona Sportsbooks
Arizona sports bettors that want to make sure they’re getting the best possible wager should join multiple online sports betting apps. While they’ll all usually have the same types of bets, the lines can vary significantly between the platforms. Just be sure to practice Responsible Gaming.
How The MLB Odds Work
MLB odds at US sportsbooks are usually displayed the American way, with odds having a minus (-) or a plus (+) symbol. Odds with the minus symbol represent how much you need to bet to win $100. Odds with the plus symbol represent how much you would win if you bet $100.
For example, if you bet $200 on -200 odds, you’d win $100. If you bet $100 on +200 odds, you’d win $200.
It seems confusing to newcomers, but once you get used to it, it becomes second nature. You can bet as little as $1 at online sportsbooks in Arizona too, so don’t get too hung up on the $100 wagers. It’s just a baseline to represent the potential payout.
When you go to a sportsbook’s website, even if you’re not a member, you can click on the MLB betting line you want and type in any denomination. The sportsbook will automatically generate the payout in the box next to the wager, so you don’t have to break out the calculator.
Types Of MLB Bets
Moneyline Bet
The moneyline bet is the simplest wager at a sportsbook. You’re simply betting on which team will win. The underdog will have the highest paying odds while the favorite will pay out the least. Here’s an example of an MLB moneyline at BetRivers Sportsbook for a game this season between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Texas Rangers:
- Diamondbacks: -155
- Rangers: +130
Because the Diamondbacks are the favorites, you’d have to bet $155 to win $100. If you bet on the Rangers instead, you’d win $130 on a $100 bet.
MLB Run Line Bet
The run line is the MLB betting version of a points spread, and it works the same way. The favorite team (- points) has to win by a minimum number of runs for a payout, and the underdog (+ points) has to either win or lose by fewer than the listed number of runs. Here’s an example of a run line bet at Caesars Sportsbook for a matchup between the Detroit Tigers and Pittsburgh Pirates:
- Detroit Tigers: -2.5 (-105)
- Pittsburgh Pirates: +2.5 (-125)
You know the Tigers are the favorite because the points spread has a minus sign. To beat the spread and get you a payout, the Tigers would need to win by three runs or more. The Pirates have the plus sign and are therefore the underdogs. They need to either win the game by any number of runs or lose the game by two runs or fewer.
The run line does not affect the payout. The odds will usually be between -101 and -130 for an MLB run line wager, represented above in (parentheses).
MLB Run Totals
Betting on total runs for an MLB game might be even simpler than a moneyline bet. The sportsbook will guess how many runs both teams will score combined. You can wager that they’ll score over that or under that. The odds for over/under for MLB betting usually hovers between -105 and -115.
Prop Bets
Here’s where things get more interesting. A prop bet is a wager on an in-game event, such as a specific player to hit a home run or a pitcher to get a certain number of strikeouts. Online sportsbooks will have a wide range of prop bets, and bettors have the option of requesting specific lines that they want to bet on if it’s not already listed.
Parlay Betting
A parlay bet is where you combine multiple bets into one parlay to increase the overall payout. Parlays can have as few as two events (called “legs”) all the way up to 20 or more. MLB parlay bets are usually multiple moneyline or run line bets parlayed into one wager. But some Arizona sportsbooks let you parlay multiple prop bets on a single game.
MLB Futures
You can place a bet on a future championship or player award months in advance. Open your favorite sports betting app, click on the baseball/MLB section, then click the “futures” category. There, you can bet on which team will win the 2022 World Series, the division, or the league. You can also bet on which player will win the MVP of the league, Rookie of the Year, and the Cy Young.
How To Bet On The World Series In Arizona
Baseball doesn’t have the same level of popularity as football or basketball – until the World Series comes around. Then all bets are off. Well, all bets are on in this case.
In addition to picking who you think will win the World Series, you can also make player prop bets. Other World Series prop bets usually include if a run will be scored in the first inning or if the team that scores the first run will win the game. Every sportsbook will have different prop bets, so be sure to shop around for some of the most exciting lines.
The Arizona Diamondbacks Partnership With Caesars
Caesars Sportsbook and the Arizona Diamondbacks agreed to a 10-year partnership, allowing Caesars to offer mobile sports betting as well as a retail sportsbook right next to Chase Field.
The retail sportsbook bar will be located adjacent to the busiest entrance of Chase Field. The retail sportsbook is expected to be open year-round and occupy two levels that can easily be accessed from the street.
Caesars offers betting on all major sports leagues, including futures bets, parlay bets, prop bets, and more. This makes it easy for sports bettors attending Diamondback games to place bets or for sports bettors to place a bet any day of the year.
