<p>The UFC is going to leave the United States for the weekend as it’s time for UFC Fight night from Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia. This will be the first time that the UFC will be in that part of the world, but there is a terrific card set up.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The main event will feature a great middleweight battle between championship contenders, and the <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting odds</a> are tight as well. Here is a look at the best fights of the night, and some of the bets that should be made. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aliskerov-Whittaker Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>The main event is a fight that is a long time coming as both the fighters have been on a path to contend for a title belt. Ikram Aliskerov will face off against Robert Whittaker and the latter is a slight betting favorite in this matchup.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This fight was actually just thrown together based on some other scratches, but these fighters were always going to meet up at some point. Aliskerov comes into this fight with odds set at +131, while Whittaker is a slight favorite at -151.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Whittaker will be delivering Aliskerov the first loss of his career, as he has been a fighter that just continues to impress. This should be a great matchup of two aggressive fighters, and this one will be decided by a knockout of some sort.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There is a really good chance that this fight will end with an upset, and getting Aliskerov at +131 is an opportunity that you can’t pass up. </p>

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



<p>The UFC has done a great job of putting together some other great fights, and that includes a huge heavyweight battle between Alexander Volkov and Sergei Pavlovich. This is another fight where the betting odds are pretty tight, and it should lead to an excellent battle in Saudi Arabia.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Pavlovich has already had a shot at winning the title in this weight class, but he was clearly not prepared for that battle. He is the favorite in this battle at -201, but he will have his work cut out for him.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Volkov comes into this fight with three straight wins, and all three of them have come via stoppage. While that is an impressive run, that’s not going to be what happens in this fight.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you are going to bet on this fight then you want to take Pavlovich at -201 to come away with another impressive win.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Desperate Welterweights Ready to Fight</h2>



<p>Daniel Rodriguez will be looking to pull off a pretty big upset when he takes on Kelvin Gastelum in Saudi Arabia this weekend. Rodriguez currently has <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker">odds</a> set at +220, but he is facing Gastelum (-260), and he is another fighter that has been struggling to win of late. </p>



<p>Since both of these fighters are coming into this bout on a losing streak, there will be a bit of desperation that is shown throughout the fight. This might end up being the biggest upset of the night, and going with Rodriguez at +220 is the way to go.</p>

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.

The four-horse race in the National League Central Division is going to make for a lot of interesting talking points. You’ve got the perennial contenders of the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs. You’ve got the Milwaukee Brewers, who won the division in 2018 and also made the playoffs as a Wild Card in 2019. You’ve got the Cincinnati Reds, who made a lot of upgrades this winter and played much better than last season’s record would indicate.

You also have the Pittsburgh Pirates, who will be a non-factor.

This one is going to be a tough handicap for a lot of people out there. A really low PECOTA projection on the Cardinals induced some season win total under money, but it has not displaced them from the top spot in the NL Central Division futures list. Of course, that seems like it could all change quite a bit as we get closer to the season.

It is interesting to look back at last year’s odds and see where everybody was priced and how things shook out. These were taken from BetOnline Sportsbook on March 5. The Cubs were the +175 favorites, with the Cardinals at +225, the Brewers at +250, the Reds at +1200, and the Pirates at +1400.

What a difference a year makes.

The Reds, who went 75-87 last season, have gone from +1200 to under +400. This is a real challenge for me as somebody who does like the Reds a lot based on their commitment to analytics and their offseason additions. They are getting a lot of the respect that I have given them. Their season win total line last season was 79.5 in early March and there was a lot of interest on the over throughout the process.

Their season win total line this time around is 84.5, so they have gotten a good bit of attention and the adjustments have been made accordingly.

With that being said, there are three approaches to the NL Central Division. You bet the Cubs. You bet the Reds. You bet the Cubs and the Reds and look to get some profit with the two likeliest teams to win the division.

The odds may not bear out that last part, but the Cardinals are not worthy of being the favorites. They won the division last season, but they lost some pieces from last season and are already dealing with pitching injuries that will force them to tap into some of their young, uncertain arms. The low PECOTA projection that pegged the Cardinals as a .500 team carries a lot of weight in my mind because it falls in line with the regression that I was expecting.

The Cubs went 84-78, so it looks like they weren’t very good on the surface. Maybe they weren’t. They also went 2-10 in their last 12 games to go from 82-68 and a pace of around 89 wins to 84-78. They could very well have given the Cardinals a run in the last week of the season. Because they didn’t, it feels like we are getting some decent value on that +265 price tag. While I am big on the Reds, the Cubs and their track record, particularly on offense, is more projectable.

The Reds at +365 are hard to pass up. A lot of people like this team and deservedly so. This is a team that was far better than that 75-87 record, with a BaseRuns record of 84-78 and a 3rd Order Win% record of 86.4-75.6. A regression to the expectation and a leap based on the new additions could very well put the Reds into that 88-90 win range and contention for the division.

To me, the Cardinals and Brewers will slide backwards, leaving the door open for either the Cubs or Reds. If you can only play one, it would have to be the Cubs, however you can bet 1 to win 2.65 on the Cubs and 1 to win 3.65 on the Reds. More often than not, one of these two teams wins the division. Obviously you can’t guarantee profit here, but you cover the two most likely bases.

That would be my approach to the NL Central if you want to get invested in the futures market.

2020 NL Central Division Betting Odds & Prediction

Tuesday night brings us a larger nine-game slate to discuss.

As for Monday, Charlotte was this close several times to covering as there was one overtime, then a second. Thankfully the extra point turned out to be needed as a loss turned into a push in a game that sailed past the over.

Fortunately, Denver’s shooting heated up just enough along with their defensive intensity. Milwaukee had few answers as their perimeter shooting was contested and at best ice cold most of the night. The result was an easy double-digit point win for the Nuggets that was never in doubt.

Our overall record is 31-26-3 on the season and yes, leans mean there is no consensus spread out yet. However, staying away from the Toronto-Utah game if the spread moved too high proved to be prophetic.

We take a fast look at two games on this Tuesday night.

Follow me on Twitter <a href="https://www.twitter.com/chriswasseldfs"><strong>@ChrisWasselDFS</strong></a> to chat about basketball and my picks.

<em>Lines from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a>.</em>
<h3><strong>Orlando Magic (+2.5) vs Memphis Grizzlies</strong>
<strong>O/U: 222.5</strong></h3>
Orlando and Memphis are sort of the irresistible force meets the movable object. In one of the crazier games to look at. There is some total contrast. The Magic have connected on the over a whopping 11 straight times. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies control the pace to such a level that the under has hit in six consecutive games.

Memphis has been playing well over their previous five contests – going 4-1 straight up and ATS. However, Orlando has won just two of their five games but has covered in four of five – including a resounding 20-point blowout of the Houston Rockets on the road. This again presents a challenge as both teams come in with momentum.

Orlando’s epic streak with the over has pushed their record to 20-11 which is the slate’s best for road teams. Memphis is just 14-18 at home in that scenario. The Magic have benefited from some hot shooting along the way and they may be able to control enough of the pace to keep this game very close or win outright. Remember, the last meeting was a resounding 32-point win for Orlando at home in November.

Our pick tonight is taking Orlando with the 2.5 points. Also, that number may move a little bit later in the day so do not be surprised.

<em><strong>Pick: Orlando Magic, +2.5</strong></em>
<h3><strong>Dallas Mavericks (-3) vs San Antonio Spurs</strong>
<strong>O/U: 227.5</strong></h3>
The two teams come in off losses, but Dallas has won six of ten overall while San Antonio has won just four. Dallas thankfully is on the road where they are 21-11 while the Spurs are just 15-14 at home.

A big problem both teams of late is being able to cover. Dallas has not covered in three of their last five games. However, San Antonio has been far worse as they have missed the cover in seven consecutive contests.

Dallas is 2-3 straight up in their previous five games while San Antonio has lost four of five. Again, the overall ATS records are complete opposites. The Spurs are 9-20 at home while the Mavericks are 20-9-2 away from home. Only the Boston Celtics come close to covering that often on this slate ATS.

The Mavericks are also within a few games of Utah and could hop a few teams as the playoffs draw closer. Dallas’ scoring margin is +6.7 points per game on the road while San Antonio rides in with a negative 3.7 point scoring margin per contest.

Again, the Mavericks are giving only 3 points and have covered in seven consecutive road meetings against the San Antonio Spurs.

<em><strong>Pick: Dallas Mavericks, -3</strong></em>

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>One Final Note:</strong></span>

How will Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Lakers game end up? The feeling is that Los Angeles should be able to cover and that is our one lean. Good luck tonight!
