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.

Bryant Bulldogs vs Grand Canyon Antelopes NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/30/24

The Milwaukee Bucks have just suffered their first consecutive loss of the season, and things are not getting easier as they play back-to-back at Pepsi Center in Denver on Monday night. Back in January, the Nuggets beat the Bucks 127-115 as massive 13-point road underdogs, and they will try their best to thrash off the best team in the league once more. However, the Nuggets are not playing in a good form at the moment, so we expect to see an exciting clash in Denver on Monday.

<strong>Injuries/Suspensions</strong>

The Bucks are missing Giannis Antetokounmpo for the second straight game, as the reigning MVP is dealing with a joint capsule sprain in his left knee. Kyle Korver (back) is also out. On the other side, the Nuggets are coming in full strength.

<strong>The Line</strong>

The Nuggets opened as 4.5-point favorites with a total of 220.0 points at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">Betonline</a> and <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI</a>. Considering Giannis’ absence, it’s not strange that the bookies listed Denver as a -190 money line fave.

<strong>What's at Stake?</strong>

The visitors are cruising through the Eastern Conference, so even the third straight loss will do no harm. However, the Lakers are only three games behind them in the race for the best record in the league. The Nuggets are No. 3 seed in the West, a game behind the LA Clippers and a game ahead of the fourth-seeded Utah Jazz.

<strong>The Spot</strong>

Milwaukee has dropped two straight games for the first time this season. After a 113-103 defeat at the LA Lakers as 1.5-point road dogs this past Friday, the Bucks lost at the Phoenix Suns 140-131 as 6.5-point road favorites last night. The Nuggets, on the other side, are coming off a disappointing 104-102 defeat at the Cleveland Cavaliers as 9-point favorites this past Saturday. Denver has dropped three of its previous five games overall.

<strong>The Matchup</strong>

The Bucks surrendered 140 points in Phoenix last night which tells you a lot how much they missed Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak is averaging 29.6 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game, but he’s also a vital part of the Bucks’ defense that is the best in the league. Milwaukee allows only 101.3 points per 100 possessions (1<sup>st</sup> in the league) on 41.1% shooting from the field (also 1<sup>st</sup>).

In that surprising road victory over the Bucks in January, the Nuggets shot 48.0% from the field while making 22 triples out of 46 attempts (47.8%). They will need another hot-shooting night to beat the Bucks, and the Nuggets also have to control the glass. The Nuggets are 19<sup>th</sup> in the league in total rebounds per game (44.3), while the Bucks lead the league with 52.0 total rebounds per contest.

On the other side of the ball, the Nuggets will have to defend the 3-point line well. Without Antetokounmpo, the Bucks will have to lean more on their shooting from deep instead of taking the ball into the paint. Still, the Bucks are fifth in the league in 3-points attempts per 100 possessions (36.5), while the Nuggets are 25<sup>th</sup> (30.7), but Denver plays at a much slower pace than the Bucks.

Milwaukee records 105.1 possessions per 48 minutes which are the most in the NBA. On the other side, the Nuggets average only 97.1 possessions per 48 minutes which are the second-fewest in the league. Denver scores 112.8 points per 100 possessions (8<sup>th</sup> in the league), while the Bucks are right behind with 112.7 points per 100 possessions.

<strong>The Bets</strong>

The Bucks could struggle with fatigue, playing their third road game in just four days. Also, they are without Giannis Antetokounmpo, so I think this is a great opportunity for the Nuggets who love to play against tough teams. Therefore, I’m backing the hosts to win and cover, and I would stick with the side bet. Denver is 15-4 SU and 12-7 ATS in its last 19 meetings with Milwaukee

Betting on the totals seems like a tricky job in this one. Unlike the Bucks, the Nuggets love to play at a slow pace and will try their best to slow down the tempo. The Bucks will miss Giannis on both sides of the ball, but they are still capable of playing good defense. Also, they should be fired up to prove it after allowing 140 points last time out. This clash could easily go either way, so I would stay away from the totals. If you like to follow betting trends, the over has hit in the previous five meetings between the Bucks and Nuggets at Pepsi Center.

<p>We’ve got a busier Monday card than usual because the All-Star Break just wrapped up and everybody got a few days off from that. Mondays are often travel days or a chance to take a break, but not this week in most cases. There are several games of interest and intrigue and one of them features the AL MVP favorite on the hill.</p>



<p>Shohei Ohtani and the Angels are in Oakland to take on the Athletics. Cole Irvin will counter for the home team, who faces a slight underdog role per the odds at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a> in this one with a total of 8.5.</p>



<h2 id="h-los-angeles-angels"><strong><u>Los Angeles Angels</u></strong></h2>



<p>Mike Trout excitedly tweeted about being on the plane to Oakland, so the perennial MVP candidate will be on the road once again to watch the current MVP favorite do his thing. Trout’s return could be a much needed shot in the arm for the Angels, though it still appears to be a little bit of time before he ends up being activated from the injured list.</p>



<p>Trout’s return, whenever it happens, will boost a strong Angels offense that ranks fifth in wOBA at .329. The ongoing problem for the Angels is that their defense and their subpar pitching staff have canceled out a lot of the good things that the bats have done. The Angels have a potent lineup with the second-highest SLG in baseball, but even with one of the league’s top offenses, the Angels have been hovering around .500 all season long.</p>



<p>Fielding metrics are scrutinized a lot and nobody has come up with an ideal way to measure defense and all of the variables involved, but the Angels have a -25.3 rating in the all-encompassing Def metric at FanGraphs. Only the Tigers grade lower. Los Angeles is -14 in defensive runs saved, a metric that has been improving lately, and -21.3 in Ultimate Zone Rating.</p>



<p>In other words, the best thing to do as a pitcher is strike out the opposing batter. Shohei Ohtani has 87 of those strikeouts in 67 innings of work. Some bettors have been skeptical of Ohtani this season because of his elevated walk rate with 35 free passes for a 12.4% BB%, but the reality is that Ohtani has gotten better in that department. He walked 19 batters in his first five starts. He has walked 16 in his last eight starts.</p>



<p>Ohtani has a 3.49 ERA with a 3.57 FIP on the season. He allowed seven runs on two hits against the Yankees on June 30 and that led to a correction in some of his stats. He hasn’t pitched since July 6, save for an inning in the All-Star Game, so we’ll see how sharp he is here.</p>



<h2 id="h-oakland-athletics"><strong><u>Oakland Athletics</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Oakland A’s are not off to the second half start that they envisioned. They were one inning away from being swept by the Cleveland Indians at home to start the post-All-Star Break schedule. Jed Lowrie’s walk-off home run on Friday was the only bright spot of the weekend for the A’s.</p>



<p>The A’s rank 15th in wOBA offensively at .312. Their home ballpark is more penal than Angels Stadium, but even with a park adjustment factored in, the Oakland offense is decidedly worse than the Angels offense. Oakland is still running a 102 wRC+, which implies that they are a better than average offense, but their home/road splits do play a role in their offensive numbers, as they have been much stronger on the road than at home.</p>



<p>Cole Irvin was a pleasant surprise for the A’s in the first half with a 3.65 ERA and a 3.69 FIP in his 106 innings of work across 18 starts. Irvin has only walked 19 of the 443 batters that he has faced and has a 7.7% HR/FB% with only 10 homers allowed in 18 starts. In today’s MLB, when batting averages are lower than in previous eras, limiting walks and home runs is the way to have success.</p>



<p>Irvin could never fully crack the Phillies rotation, which is why a lot of people have questioned the sustainability of his performance this season, but he seems to be in it for the long haul. Irvin does pitch to contact with a low 17.6% K%, so that will be an area to watch in the second half.</p>



<h2 id="h-angels-vs-a-s-free-pick"><strong><u>Angels vs. A’s Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>You wonder about both starters here, as Irvin has not pitched since July 9 and Ohtani is on that extended layoff after a whirlwind trip to Denver for the All-Star Game. On the other hand, this is a bad ballpark for offense. The A’s do have the bullpen advantage if it comes down to that, but the Angels have the offensive advantage and the starting pitcher with the higher upside. How about a 1st 5 look at Los Angeles?</p>
