KBO Baseball Betting Odds and Schedule for Tuesday, May 12
While we’ll likely have to wait until the end of June or early July to throw our first MLB betting picks, the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) is in full swing.

So is it time to wake up early and turn on the KBO to rid yourself of that baseball itch? We think so. Here’s a look at KBO betting odds for Saturday, May 9.

Things to Know Before Betting on the KBO
- The KBO is made of 10 teams
- Because there are only 10 teams, the league doesn’t have divisions or separate leagues
- KBO lineups include a universal designated hitter
- Games end in a draw after the 12th inning. 14 games ended this way in 2019, and there were 12 draws in 2018
- Only five teams make the playoffs in a rather unique postseason format. Click here for more KBO postseason details
