Akron Zips vs Yale Bulldogs NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/20/24

<p>The Milwaukee Brewers head to PNC Park on Thursday night to start a four-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. These two NL Central foes already met twice in 2022, and the Brewers swept the Pirates in a couple of three-game sets.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>, Milwaukee is a -130 road fave for Thursday’s battle, while the totals sit at 8.5 runs, so here’s the best Brewers vs. Pirates betting pick.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Brewers are riding a four-game win streak&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The 44-33 Milwaukee Brewers just swept a two-game interleague series on the road against Tampa Bay, outlasting the Rays 5-3 on both occasions. They’ve won four games in a row and nine of their previous 12 contests at any location.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Brewers had a rough patch in June but managed to turn things around in the second half of the month. They were topping the NL Central on Wednesday, one game ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Adrian Houser will toe the slab Thursday, hoping to bounce back from a heavy loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Milwaukee lost to Toronto 9-4 last Friday, and Houser yielded five earned runs on nine hits across six innings of work. The 29-year-old righty is 4-8 with an underwhelming 4.50 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 14 starts (74 innings) this season.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Pirates just snapped their five-game streak&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Pittsburgh Pirates outlasted the Washington Nationals 8-7 on Wednesday afternoon to finish their six-game road trip with a 1-5 record. The Pirates put an end to their five-game losing streak and improved to 30-45 on the season thanks to Bryan Reynolds’ three home runs and six RBIs.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Pittsburgh is 12 games behind the bottom wild card in the National League. The Pirates are 9-18 in June, sporting a 4.62 ERA and 1.47 WHIP along with a .213/.276/.389 triple-slash at the plate. They’ve scored only 20 runs over the last six games.&nbsp;</p>



<p>JT Brubaker will get the ball Thursday and take on the Brewers for the second time this season. Back in April, Brubaker was charged for a loss in a 5-2 defeat at American Family Field in Milwaukee, yielding four runs (two earned) on a couple of hits and walks across five innings. The 28-year-old righty holds a 1-7 record, 4.14 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 76/31 K/BB ratio in 15 starts (76 frames) in 2022.&nbsp;</p>



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



<p><strong>Milwaukee:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<ul><li>8-0 in the last eight games against Pittsburgh&nbsp;</li><li>9-3 in the last 12 games overall&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Pittsburgh:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-5 in the last six games overall&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>2-11 in the last 13 home games against Milwaukee&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Milwaukee Brewers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Brewers are looking to keep the good times rolling. They are undefeated in eight straight meetings with the Pirates and given their recent form, the Brewers should extend their dominance over Pittsburgh.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Adrian Houser meets the Bucs for the first time this season, and the current Pirates lineup has only seven hits and a .288 OPS in 40 at-bats against him. I don’t trust Houser, but the Brewers have plenty of dangerous arms in their bullpen, which has recorded a 3.04 ERA and 3.25 FIP in the last ten days and 26.2 innings of work.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Milwaukee Brewers at -130&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>The Pirates’ bullpen is 1-5 with a pedestrian 5.97 ERA and a solid 3.64 FIP in the last ten days and 31.2 frames of work. JT Brubaker has allowed 15 runs on 35 hits through his five starts (28.1 innings) in June, so I lean toward the over on the totals even though the Brewers’ bullpen could easily shut down the Pirates down the stretch.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If Adrian Houser continues to struggle, he’ll allow a few runs to the Pirates early. On the other side, JT Brubaker will have a tall task to keep the Brewers quiet. Milwaukee has 18 hits, five home runs, and a .936 OPS in 76 at-bats against Brubaker.

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.

<p>The 2021 CFB season goes on with Week 9 matchups on Saturday, October 30, including the Conference USA showdown at S.B. Ballard Stadium in Norfolk, Virginia, so here’s the best Louisiana Tech vs. Old Dominion betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Bulldogs and Monarchs met each other once in 2014, and Old Dominion barely outlasted Louisiana Tech 30-27 as a 13.5-point home underdog. The Monarchs are listed as 5.5-point home dogs for Saturday’s clash, while the totals sit at 52.5 points.</p>



<h2>Louisiana Tech couldn’t cope with the No. 24 UTSA</h2>



<p>The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs fell to 2-5 straight up and 3-4 ATS on the season following a heavy 45-16 home loss to the UTSA Roadrunners this past Saturday. They failed to cover a 5.5-point spread and extended their losing streak to three games.</p>



<p>The Bulldogs turned the ball over three times against the Roadrunners, who racked up 213 rushing yards. On the other side, the Bulldogs had 33 carries for a paltry 69 yards, while senior QB Austin Kendall tossed for 279 yards, a couple of touchdowns, and an interception.</p>



<p>Louisiana Tech’s offense ranks 25<sup>th</sup> in the country in passing yards per game (277.4) and 106<sup>th</sup> in rushing yards per contest (115.0). The Bulldogs are tallying 26.6 points per game (tied-81<sup>st</sup>), but they’ve scored only 19 points in total over their previous two outings.</p>



<h2>Old Dominion rides a five-game losing streak </h2>



<p>The Old Dominion Monarchs (1-6; 4-3 ATS) are coming off a bye, looking to snap a five-game skid. They’ve been solid in losses to Buffalo 35-34, UTEP 28-21, and Marshall 20-13 OT, but last time out, the Monarchs have suffered a heavy 43-20 home defeat to Western Kentucky.</p>



<p>Old Dominion failed to slow down the Hilltoppers’ passing offense, allowing their signal-caller to throw for 397 yards and five touchdowns. On the other side, freshman Hayden Wolff went 26-of-41 for 327 yards and a couple of interceptions.</p>



<p>Wolff replaced junior D.J. Mack Jr. under center, and it’s unknown who’ll get the starting call in Week 9. The Monarchs are scoring 23.1 points per game (tied-103<sup>rd</sup> in the country) on 170.6 rushing yards (59<sup>th</sup>) and 189.4 passing yards (105<sup>th</sup>).</p>



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



<p><strong>Louisiana Tech:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-10 ATS in the last 15 games overall</li><li>2-6 ATS in the last eight games against the Conference USA</li></ul>



<p><strong>Old Dominion:</strong></p>



<ul><li>N/A</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-louisiana-tech-vs-old-dominion-pick">Louisiana Tech vs. Old Dominion Pick</h2>



<p>This is the clash of the two bad teams that have been playing in poor form, so the best move is to stay away from it. While the Monarchs have struggled offensively all season, the Bulldogs have been awful over their previous two showings.</p>



<p>I’m looking for a tight contest, and the hosts, who are coming fresh off a bye, should be able to keep it within seven points. The betting trends are not helping a lot, as both teams have struggled to cover so far this season.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Old Dominion +7.0 at -145&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The Monarchs are yielding 31.4 points per game (102<sup>nd</sup> in the country) even though they are 52<sup>nd</sup> in the nation in total yards allowed per contest (357.3).
