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.

Old Dominion Monarchs vs Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

Jacob deGrom was scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday with what was termed “right side tightness”. The real injury is to deGrom’s back, for carrying the Mets through the early part of the season and the entire last three seasons.

Fortunately, the Mets didn’t have to play without deGrom, as the game was rained out, but Marcus Stroman was there to answer the call if needed. The man known as Stro will now face the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 of the doubleheader, The Cardinals are countering with Kwang Hyun Kim in the first game.

This game is lined pretty closely both ways with a total of 5.5 at <strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a></strong>. St. Louis opened an overnight favorite for the full-game line and remained that way for the Game 1 line, which will be a seven-inning doubleheader.
<h2><strong><u>New York Mets</u></strong></h2>
The Mets are a team that has a great chance of breaking out in the near future. New York is off to a very slow offensive start, due in large part to a complete lack of hitting with runners in scoring position. The Mets entered play on Tuesday 28th in batting average with RISP. One of the biggest culprits has been the subject of boos, as Francisco Lindor entered Tuesday’s game just 1-for-18 with a man in scoring position.

The Mets are also one of three teams with more strikeouts than RBI with RISP. Situational hitting is the main deciding factor in games this season. This depressed offensive environment with fewer home runs and less carry has basically turned the games into a hitting contest with runners in scoring position. The Mets have not won most of those battles, so they have limped out to a .500ish start.

If you look at the Mets pitching staff, you’ll see that the bad luck that has befallen the lineup is contagious. They’ve been in the bottom five in wOBA against and batting average against when the opposition has men in scoring position. This is a concept called Cluster Luck, explained thoroughly in Joe Peta’s book <u>Trading Bases</u>. The reality is that when these two things normalize for the Mets, and they should, this is a team that could take off in what has been a pedestrian NL East thus far.

With any luck for Stroman, it will happen on Wednesday. Stroman, who was pulled after just five innings in his last start, had struck out eight and allowed a couple of unearned runs. A nagging hamstring was said to be the problem, but Stroman seems fine, given that he volunteered to start in deGrom’s place on Tuesday.

Stroman has a 1.84 ERA with a 2.70 FIP in his 29.1 innings of work. He’s struck out 23 and walked six with his usual high ground ball rate and outstanding command. He has not allowed a home run since his first start of the season. The Mets have converted a lot of balls in play into outs for him and they’ll need to continue doing that until the bats arrive.
<h2><strong><u>St. Louis Cardinals</u></strong></h2>
Kwang Hyun Kim will make his fourth start of the season for St. Louis in this one. He’s allowed five runs on 17 hits in 13.2 innings with 16 strikeouts against just one walk and one hit by pitch. The KBO import was signed after a long and successful career with SK Wyverns in Korea. He, unfortunately, was left to deal with COVID-19 and his first season in a new country during a tumultuous 2020 season.

Kim had a 1.62 ERA with a 3.88 FIP in his first year. He had a .217 BABIP against and an 86.6% LOB%, so he would have been a pretty big regression candidate had the season kept going. This season, Kim has a .400 BABIP against through his three starts with a 79.5% LOB%. Kim has already allowed seven barreled balls, two more than he allowed in 25.1 more innings last season.

The command profile hasn’t been overly sharp, but the low walk rate and St. Louis’s defense have allowed him to outperform his expectations to this point. The question for Kim, who was a pretty high K% guy by KBO standards, is whether or not his MLB strikeout increase is here to stay. His SwStr% has jumped from 7.3% to 13.5%, which is a good sign of sustainability, but I’m still not fully buying it.

The Cardinals, once again, rank in the bottom half of the league offensively, but things are not quite as bad as they were last season. Nolan Arenado has been a fine addition in the batter’s box and in the field and Yadier Molina is having a big offensive year to this point. The Cardinals are just doing what they do year in and year out with a bunch of average or better players that comprise a solid roster.
<h2><strong><u>Mets vs. Cardinals Free Pick</u></strong></h2>
The big worry that I have here is that Kim strikes me as a regression candidate. He’s probably better than I give him credit for and his KBO numbers are maybe translating a little bit better. The new MLB ball plays a lot more like a KBO ball as well, with the increased drag and not nearly as much carry. It could allow him to have more success than I anticipated.

However, Stroman has a lot of upside himself and the Mets offense is going to break out here soon. It could really only take one big hit to take the top off of this offense and loosen everybody up a bit. With Stroman leading the charge a day after best-pitcher-on-the-planet Jacob deGrom got hurt, I expect the Mets to prevail.

<p>The 2022 NFL Divisional Playoffs kick off Saturday, January 22, 2022, with the AFC showdown from Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, so we bring you the best Bengals vs. Titans betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<p>Cincinnati meets Tennessee for the first time since November 2020 when the Bengals beat the Titans 31-20 as 7-point home underdogs. The Bengals are 3.5-points road dogs this time around, while the totals are set at 47.0 points.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>The Bengals barely outlasted Las Vegas in the wild-card round    </h2>



<p>The Cincinnati Bengals (11-7; 11-7 ATS) defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 26-19 in the wild-card round of the 2022 NFL playoffs, covering a 6-point spread in front of the home fans. However, it wasn’t a comfortable victory for the Bengals, who scored only a couple of field goals in the second half.</p>



<p>Joe Burrow led the way for Cincinnati last weekend, tossing for 244 yards and a couple of touchdowns. Rookie wideout Ja’Marr Chase had nine receptions for 116 yards, while tight end C.J. Uzomah posted six catches for 64 yards and a touchdown.</p>



<p>The Bengals had only 83 rushing yards on 25 carries against the resilient Raiders’ defense. At least, they took good care of the ball, while the Raiders committed a pair of turnovers, including Derek Carr’s interception with 17 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter.</p>



<p>Cincinnati managed to grab its first playoff win since 1990. The Bengals have gone 4-1 straight up and 5-0 ATS over their previous five games overall.</p>



<h2>The Titans aim for their fourth straight W           </h2>



<p>The Tennessee Titans (12-5; 10-7 ATS) enjoyed a bye in the wild-card round after clinching the No. 1 seed in the American Football Conference. They retained the AFC South crown despite missing Derrick Henry in the final nine weeks of the regular season.</p>



<p>Henry suffered a foot injury in Week 8. He’s been outstanding in the first half of the season, posting 937 yards and ten touchdowns on 219 totes. Henry should return to the starting lineup Saturday against the Bengals, but he’ll probably be on limited reps.</p>



<p>D'Onta Foreman, who replaced Henry in the backfield, finished the regular season with 566 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 133 totes. Ryan Tannehill threw for 3,734 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions, while WR A.J. Brown posted 63 receptions for 869 yards and five touchdowns.</p>



<p>The Titans made it to the postseason for the third consecutive year. They are riding a three-game winning streak following a 28-25 road victory over the Houston Texans in Week 18. Tennessee has gone 3-5 ATS in its previous eight outings at any location.</p>



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



<p><strong>Cincinnati:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-0 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games on the road</li></ul>



<p><strong>Tennessee:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-6 ATS in the last seven games against Cincinnati</li><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games in January&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-cincinnati-bengals-vs-tennessee-titans-pick">Cincinnati Bengals vs. Tennessee Titans Pick</h2>



<p>The Titans own the second-best run D in the NFL, allowing only 84.6 rushing yards per game. Also, they surrender just 3.9 yards per carry (4<sup>th</sup>), but the Titans’ secondary is a problem, yielding 245.2 passing yards per contest (25<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p>Hereof, I’m expecting the Bengals to keep it close on the back of their passing offense. Joe Burrow is doing a superb job in his second professional season, while Ja’Marr Chase is enjoying a wonderful rookie campaign. The Bengals should have enough firepower to deal with the Titans’ offense. Cincy surrenders 22.1 points per game (17<sup>th</sup>) on 102.5 rushing yards (5<sup>th</sup>) and 248.4 passing yards (26<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Cincinnati Bengals +3.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>I’m expecting the Bengals to take advantage of the Titans’ passing D, while Tennessee should look for the same thing on the other side. Cincinnati’s secondary has had some issues in the regular season, and the Titans possess some deadly weapons in A.J. Brown and Julio Jones.</p>



<p>Five of Cincinnati’s last eight contests have produced more than 47 points in total. On the other hand, the under is 4-1 in Tennessee’s last five outings and 8-2 in the Titans’ previous ten home contests.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 47.0 points at -110</strong></p>

Mercyhurst Lakers vs Binghamton Bearcats NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/18/24

<p>The Week 6 of the NFL continues with eight afternoon games on Sunday, October 16, so make sure you don’t miss out on the best Jets vs. Packers betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>New York is looking for the third consecutive win when they visit Green Bay at Lambeau Field. The Packers are 7-point favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 45 points. These inter-conference rivals will meet for the first time since 2018.</p>



<p><strong>Jets dismantled the Dolphins at home</strong></p>



<p>The New York Jets (3-2, 3-2 ATS) won two games in a row, and the most recent against the divisional foes Miami Dolphins was special for many reasons. New York recorded the first win over the AFC East rivals in 13 games, while they scored a season-high 40 and allowed season-low 17 points in a 40-17 victory. The Jets forced two turnovers and didn’t commit a single one on the other end.</p>



<p>New York took a 2-0 lead through safety and didn’t stop for the remainder of the game despite Miami’s attempts to make a comeback when they came close to 19-17 at the end of the third quarter. However, the Jets scored 21 points and allowed none in the final 12 minutes. Zach Wilson completed 14 of 21 passes for 210 yards. Breece Hall led all the receivers with 100 yards on two receptions and added 97 rushing yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Michael Carter, Braxton Berrios, and Zach Wilson also recorded a rushing TD apiece. Defensively, C.J. Mosley and Kwon Alexander were dominant with ten tackles each.</p>



<p>LB Quincy Williams (ankle) is out indefinitely, while DE Jermaine Johnson II (ankle) is questionable to play on Sunday against Green Bay.</p>



<p><strong>Packers were stunned by the Giants</strong></p>



<p>The Green Bay Packers (3-2, 2-3 ATS) were hoping to get their fourth win in a row when they faced the New York Giants in their first international game, but the Giants surprised them. Green Bay had a 14-point lead in the second quarter, but the Giants dominated in the second half and won that period 17-2 to claim a 27-22 victory in London, UK.</p>



<p>Aaron Rodgers completed 25 of 39 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns. Allen Lazard and Marcedes Lewis caught those TD passes, but veteran Randall Cobb was the one to lead all the receivers with 99 yards on seven receptions. Green Bay was held to below 100 rushing yards in this loss; Aaron Jones had 63 on 13 attempts. Quay Walker led all the defenders when it comes to tackles with eight.</p>



<p>WR Sammy Watkins is on the injured reserve list due to a hamstring injury, and there is no timetable for recovery.</p>



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



<p><strong>New York:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-7 ATS in the last ten games following an ATS win</li><li>2-6 ATS in the last eight games following a straight-up win</li><li>3-10 ATS in the last 13 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game</li></ul>



<p><strong>Green Bay:</strong></p>



<ul><li>16-7 ATS in the last 23 games following an ATS loss</li><li>10-4 ATS in the last 14 games vs. a team with a winning record</li><li>9-3 ATS in the last 12 games in October</li></ul>



<p><strong>New York Jets vs. Green Bay Packers Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>It’s strange seeing the Packers scoring below 20 points per game, but that’s the case so far this season. Still, the Packers' defense is looking good as they allow 19.2 ppg, and although the Jets scored 40 in the previous game against Miami, the visitors will find it hard to score more than 20 here. I don’t remember the last time when the Jets had a better offense than the Packers, but that is happening in 2022, so Green Bay will have to rely on its defense to get a win here. Green Bay has to be disappointed after a loss to the Giants and I am backing them to respond with a win on Sunday.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Packers at -6.5 (-135)</p>



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



<p>Aaron Rodgers doesn’t have top wideouts to rely on anymore, so the Packers are focusing on the run offense this season. Aaron Jones will probably run the ball often in this one, and given the Jets are allowing 114.4 rushing yards per game to the opponents, I am backing the Packers to have 100+ rushing yards here. On the other hand, Green Bay has the second-best pass defense, and the Jets are relying on a pass offense. I don’t think the visitors will be successful through the air. Under is 10-4 in the Packers’ last 14 games on grass, while Under is 4-1 in Green Bay’s previous five games following a straight-up loss.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 45.5 points (-115)</p>
