Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs Virginia Tech Hokies Betting Pick & Prediction 10/26/24

The AL MVP chase is going to be fascinating. Why? Because Mike Trout has such a short price according to the odds at 5Dimes Sportsbook. That means we have a ton of really good players to pick from at very reasonable prices. The departure of Mookie Betts actually made Trout a -125 favorite with everybody else at +1000 or higher. This seems too good to be true.

Sure, Trout has won the award three times already, but it seems like writers sort of get bored with how good he actually is. I’m not sure how that’s possible, but it does feel like the writers try to reward other guys whenever they can.

With that in mind, that creates a whole lot of value in a lot of different ways. It is also nice that unlike the NL MVP, which wasn’t posted at 5Dimes at time of writing for some reason, we can go back to the 5Dimes odds, where there are a lot more players listed. For what it’s worth, the AL MVP odds came from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a>.

Here are the AL MVP odds per <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a> as of February 20, 2020:

If we’re being honest, a lot of these guys have no business being listed. The MVP won’t come from a bad team unless his name is Mike Trout, so a lot of these guys aren’t even considerations.

There are a lot of really good players with double-digit prices because Trout is lined so low and some of those 10/1 to 20/1 prices are really worth extended looks. I do think that a guy like Alex Bregman, who was the runner-up last season, will be hurt by the sign stealing scandal, so I will be shying away from all of the Astros that are listed...except for one.

I will also shy away from guys like Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, and Giancarlo Stanton. Health isn’t as important as it has been in the past, but players need time to put up those counting numbers that the old-school members of the electorate need to see. Trout and Betts each played less than 140 games the last two seasons, but they had the numbers regardless. That just isn’t something that I would want to bet on.

There are also a lot of guys that we can remove that are good hitters that put up great numbers, but elite numbers are required to win the MVP. Each of the last four awards has gone to a guy with an OBP over .400. Four of the last seven and five of the last eight to hitters have gone to guys with a SLG over .600. Only four qualified hitters did that last season. Only seven hitters had an OBP over .400.

The risk is there to take somebody like Anthony Rendon because he could split votes with Trout, but at +2500, he is hard to pass up. Rendon was one of the seven hitters that had an OBP over .400 last season. He fell just shy of that .600 SLG mark at .598, but he hit 34 home runs, played excellent defense, and could be the missing piece for an Angels playoff run. If Rendon is the guy that helps put the Angels over the top and back into the playoffs, he has a real legitimate chance to steal the award from his teammate. The 25/1 price certainly takes into account Trout’s presence, but if you look at Rendon’s numbers from last season, he fits the bill as a guy capable of winning the MVP.

Yordan Alvarez did not have enough plate appearances to qualify, but he had the numbers. Over 369 plate appearances, Alvarez slashed .313/.412/.655 with stupid power. He hit 50 home runs in 622 plate appearances between Triple-A and the Major Leagues. He is a guy that the voters can excuse from the sign stealing scandal because he was playing in A-ball and had no involvement whatsoever.

If the Astros have a huge season offensively, and they probably will, it will be hard to shut them out completely. The easy default is to Alvarez, who should have the power, should have the OBP, and should have all of the counting stats. At 100/1, this price is ridiculous. The value here is astonishing, to be totally honest with you. That is absolutely my favorite bet of the AL MVP odds.

To be honest, at the prices, those are the only two guys I would consider. If Judge was healthier, 10/1 on him is a great gamble with that bandbox in the Bronx. If the baseball plays differently, Yankees hitters won’t be as affected.

Nelson Cruz is kind of fun at 300/1, but the last DH "type" to win was Barry Bonds and he was putting up obscene numbers. Albert Pujols won twice in the NL, but he was still a first baseman at that point.

There are a lot of very good players on this list, but the pickings are slimmer than you would think.

<p>The NBA action continues with a five-game slate on Friday, January 27, and here you can check out the best Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Memphis is desperate to avoid the fifth consecutive defeat when they visit Minnesota at Target Center. The Grizzlies are -3.5 favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at N/A points. These conference rivals have met twice this year, and the series is tied at 1-1.</p>



<p><strong>Grizzlies fell short of the Warriors on the road</strong></p>



<p>The Memphis Grizzlies (31-17, 23-24-1) are going through their toughest period of the season as they suffered four straight losses. All four defeats came on the road; the Grizzlies will conclude their five-game road trip on Friday against Minnesota. The most recent loss was against the Golden State Warriors even though the Grizzlies had a 10-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. Memphis did force 21 turnovers and committed 13 on the other end, but the hosts were better in rebounds (44-36) and assists (33-26).</p>



<p>Ja Morant led the Grizzlies in a 122-120 loss with a double-double of 29 points and a game-high 12 assists along with four rebounds and two steals. Desmond Bane added 20 points and four dishes, Brandon Clarke chipped in 19 points and team-high eight boards, Jaren Jackson had 17 points and six rebounds, while Santi Aldama and Dillon Brooks combined for 23 points and seven boards.</p>



<p>C Steven Adams (knee) is out indefinitely. SG Danny Green (knee) and SG John Konchar (concussion) are questionable to feature on Friday against Minnesota.</p>



<p><strong>Timberwolves beat the Pelicans in New Orleans</strong></p>



<p>The Minnesota Timberwolves (25-25, 23-27-0 ATS) opened a two-game road trip with a loss to the Houston Rockets, the worst team in the NBA, but managed to bounce back with a 111-102 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Now, the Timberwolves will spend the next six games at home, starting from Friday with a clash against Memphis. Minnesota scored 39 and allowed 21 points in a crucial third quarter in New Orleans and kept the hosts to 43.5% from the floor. The Wolves forced 15 turnovers and committed nine in return.</p>



<p>Anthony Edwards led the Wolves with a game-high 37 points, six rebounds, and five assists. D’Angelo Russell contributed 19 points, five dimes, and two steals, Rudy Gobert posted a double-double of 17 points and game-high 12 boards, while Kyle Anderson had ten points, team-high seven dishes, two thefts, and two blocks.</p>



<p>C Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) and PG Jordan McLaughlin (calf) are out indefinitely. SF Taurean Prince (ankle) is questionable to play on Friday against the Grizzlies.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Memphis:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>4-10 ATS in the last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record</li></ul>



<p><strong>Minnesota:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>6-2 ATS in the last eight home games</li><li>7-3 ATS in the last ten games playing on one day of rest</li></ul>



<p><strong>Memphis Grizzlies vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Pick</strong></p>



<p>Memphis has a better offense and defense than the Timberwolves, but the Grizzlies are going through a hard phase at the moment and are playing without their toughest player - Steven Adams. While the Wolves are also without Anthony-Towns, they accustomed to playing without him for quite some time now and have Rudy Gobert as a presence below the rims. The Grizzlies don’t have such an option at center, which is the biggest advantage for Minnesota in this one. The Timberwolves are going to exploit Memphis’ current weak form and get a win here. If not, they are at least going to cover.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Timberwolves at +4.5 (-120)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>Without Adams in the paint, I believe the Wolves are going to score a bunch of easy points. Memphis allowed 122+ in three of the last four, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the hosts score 120+ here. On the other hand, the Grizzlies have the fifth-best offense in the NBA that averages 117.1 points per game, so the visitors should contribute enough to make a high-scoring game out of this one. Over is 4-1 in the Timberwolves’ last five games following an ATS win, while Over is 5-0 in the Grizzlies’ previous five games following an ATS win.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over N/A points</p>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

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.
