While baseball may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Soweto taxis and Saturday rugby, it is actually a perfect fit for those calm, laid-back South African nights, like a potjie simmering on low heat. The games usually start right after supper, so you can chill out, sip some tea, and check a couple of markets.
Quick wins
With markets like Match winner, totals, and run line, you can quickly see when extra innings are included. With cash out, if things start to go south for your team, you can pull out at any moment to salvage what’s left. You will also find a great variety of leagues from around the globe, meaning that there’s action every single day. But remember that this is baseball, so if you hate slower matches and close scores, then you may want to pick something else. Also, don’t expect to find local SA teams to bet on here.

Home plate
South Africans who like to see order, numbers, and calm, late-night events are going to enjoy baseball on YesPlay. You can bet a tiny amount of money, look at the listed markets, and back a team or a total without betting on dozens of different outcomes. If you want a more fast-paced experience, or prefer to watch local games, baseball might not be for you.
