There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

<p>UFC action returns to the APEX in Las Vegas this weekend, and there is a great fight card scheduled to take place. This is not going to be a marquee event like some others have been this season, but there should still be some great intrigue. </p>



<p>There is a five round fight scheduled to take place, and there are several others that could go the distance of three rounds. Here is a look at a few of the biggest fights scheduled to take place, and some bets that you want to make.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/betus">BET ON UFC FIGHT NIGHT AT BETUS</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brady-Burns Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>The main event scheduled to take place during Fight Night is a matchup between Sean Brady and Gilbert Burns. This is a matchup of some solid welterweight fighters, and that should lead to an epic battle in the Octagon.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The over/under for this fight is set at just 3 ½ rounds for the main event, and that could mean that this fight ends quickly. Sean Brady is the betting favorite at -180, while the odds for Burns are sitting at +150.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This could be a chance to cash in with an underdog pick on Saturday night, but it’s just really hard to see Brady getting upset. Burns has lost two straight fights, and that skid is going to fall to three after another disappointing defeat.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Jump on Sean Brady at -180 to come up with a win in this bout as he continues to climb up the rankings.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Flyweights in Interesting Matchup</h2>



<p>The main card is loaded with some interesting fights, and that includes some of the top women that are currently fighting in the UFC. A pair of flyweight title contenders are set to meet up, and this should be a great matchup to watch.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Natalia Silva is coming into her match with Jessica Andrade as the betting favorite, but this is a fight that should go the distance. Scheduled as a three round event, the over/under for this bout is sitting at 2 ½ total rounds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Betting on Silva at -310 is going to be the way to go in this bout, but it should come down to a judge’s decision that will be hard to predict.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Great Lightweight Battle Coming</h2>



<p>Instead of looking for the best fighters on Saturday night, it’s better to try to find the best possible betting options that are out there. A pair of lightweight fighters are going to be in the Octagon on Saturday night, and it should lead to a great matchup.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Yanal Ashmoz will be taking on Trevor Peek in a lightweight matchup, and this should be an interesting matchup to explore. These are two fighters that appear to be pretty similar, and that should lead to some excitement.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Trevor Peek is the betting favorite in this fight at -130, while Yanal Ashmoz has betting odds sitting at EVEN money. This is going to be a battle in which you should go with the underdog, and jumping on Ashmoz will be the way to go.&nbsp;</p>
