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.

South Alabama Jaguars vs Louisiana Ragin Cajuns Betting Pick & Prediction 11/16/24

<p>The NBA betting action goes on Friday, December 17, with eight games around the league, including the Western Conference showdown at Target Center in Minneapolis, so we’ve prepared the best Lakers vs. Timberwolves betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Los Angeles and Minnesota continue their four-game regular-season series with Game 2. Back on November 12, the Timberwolves hammered the Lakers 107-83 as 2-point road underdogs. Minnesota is a 1.5-point home fave for Friday’s clash, while the totals sit at 224.0 points on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<h2 id="h-the-lakers-eye-their-fourth-consecutive-w">The Lakers eye their fourth consecutive W  </h2>



<p>The Los Angeles Lakers (16-13; 11-18 ATS) are riding a three-game winning streak following a 107-104 overtime victory at the Dallas Mavericks this past Wednesday. LeBron James topped the Lakers’ scoring chart for the third straight game with 24 points on 9-for-19 shooting from the field. Anthony Davis had a 20-point, 12-rebound double-double, while Russell Westbrook added 23 points, 10 boards, and nine assists.</p>



<p>The Lakers held the Mavs to 39.8% shooting from the field and 27.3% from downtown, but their offense didn’t impress. Los Angeles turned the ball over 14 times and shot only 43.3% from the field, though the Lakers went 15-for-39 from beyond the 3-point line (38.5%).</p>



<p>Over their last eight outings, the Lakers have gone 6-2 straight up and 4-4 ATS. During that stretch, the Lakers have scored 110.4 points a night (tied-13<sup>th</sup> in the NBA) on 48.4% shooting from the field (tied-4<sup>th</sup>) and 38.2% from beyond the arc (7<sup>th</sup>). Los Angeles owns the seventh-worst offensive rating in the NBA, posting 107.4 points per 100 possessions.</p>



<h2>The Timberwolves smashed Denver for their second straight win</h2>



<p>The Minnesota Timberwolves (13-15; 13-15 ATS) are coming off a nice 124-107 victory at the Denver Nuggets this past Wednesday. Playing as 4-point road underdogs, the T-Wolves dominated the Nuggets from start to finish and led by as many as 23 points. Anthony Edwards accounted for 38 points and ten triples, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 32 points on a 12-for-18 shooting from the field.</p>



<p>Edwards took 14 shots from deep against Denver. The Timberwolves went 23-of-48 from downtown (47.9%) and 45-of-88 from the field (51.1%) while playing solid defense and forcing 18 turnovers.</p>



<p>Minnesota has dropped five of its previous seven contests, allowing 16.7 fast-break points per game in the process (29<sup>th</sup> in the NBA). The Timberwolves have made only 42.1% of their field goals in that span (also 29<sup>th</sup>), showing how poor offensive execution often leads to bad transition defense.</p>



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



<p><strong>LA Lakers:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games against Minnesota&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



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



<ul><li>3-6 ATS in the last nine games played in December&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2>Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Pick</h2>



<p>The Lakers have improved offensively over the last few weeks, while their defense has been solid all season. Los Angeles has allowed 104 or fewer points in five of its previous seven outings, and I’m expecting the Lakers to continue with a strong defensive performance.</p>



<p>If they slow down Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, the Lakers will win this game. Keep in mind they missed LeBron James in that heavy loss to the Timberwolves in November. This time around, the Lakers have some COVID-19 issues, but all their key guys are ready to go.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Los Angeles Lakers +1.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>Both Los Angeles and Minnesota prefer to play at a fast pace, so I’m going with the over despite the Lakers’ stout defense. The Timberwolves are not a bad defensive team either, but we should see both teams trying to speed up things and score in transition.</p>



<p>The Lakers average 100.6 possessions per 48 minutes (2<sup>nd</sup> in the NBA), while the T-Wolves register 99.3 (7<sup>th</sup>). The under 5-0 in the Lakers’ last five outings, but the over is 5-0 in the Timberwolves’ previous five games overall and 5-1 in Minnesota’s last six showings at home.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 224.0 points&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
