What is the Dominican Professional Baseball League?

The Dominican Professional Baseball League is a professional baseball league in the Dominican Republic. In Spanish, the league is called Liga de Béisbol Profesional de la República Dominicana, which is why it’s often shortened to LIDOM. The league has just six teams but gets tremendous support from fans in the Dominican Republic, where baseball is wildly popular.

In terms of competition level, LIDOM doesn’t quite compare to the American-based baseball league, Major League Baseball. However, it’s common for future big leaguers and MLB veterans to play in LIDOM. For example, MLB stars like Rafael Devers and Juan Soto were born in the Dominican Republic.

History of LIDOM

There have been pro baseball teams in the Dominican Republic since the early 1900s. Some of the teams formed during that era are still in existence today. While a few championships were awarded during the 1920s and 30s, LIDOM officially played its first season in 1951. Since, there have been just three years - all in the 1960s - in which there was no LIDOM season.

Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League Schedule & Format

There are six teams in LIDOM with each team playing 50 games during the regular season. That means each team plays exactly 10 games against every other team. The regular season runs from mid-October until late December. This is followed by a shorter 18-game season involving the top four teams in the league that lasts until the end of January. The top two teams after those 18 games face each other in a best-of-9 series for the LIDOM championship. The LIDOM champion every year advances to compete in the Caribbean Series against the league champions from Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela.

How to Bet on LIDOM & Baseball Bet Types

Stake Sportsbook makes it easy to bet on LIDOM by offering a variety of betting markets and a comprehensive baseball betting guide. The types of bets available for LIDOM games are similar to what you’ll find for other pro baseball leagues.

• Moneyline - A moneyline bet is a simple bet that is concerned only with the outright winner and loser of a particular game.

• Total - Rather than picking a winning team, a total bet is only concerned with the total runs scored between the two teams.

• Handicap - With a handicap bet, the favoured team usually needs to win by at least two runs for the bet to pay; otherwise, the losing team can win a bet if they only lose by one run. In baseball, this is called a run line, although it can also be called a spread.

• Player Props - Prop bets are based on events or stats within a game rather than the final score of a game. For instance, many props revolve around how many hits a player has in a game or how many strikeouts a pitcher records.

• Live Bets - It’s possible to make bets after a game begins. This can include bets on the outcome of the game, as well as specific events that occur during the game.

• Parlay - With a parlay, bettors can increase their potential payout by combining multiple bets into a single bet. However, if one of those bets loses, the entire parlay loses.
