<p>The 2022 MLB season goes on Saturday, April 9, with plenty of interesting matchups around the league, including the NL West battle at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, so we bring you the best Dodgers vs. Rockies betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Los Angeles and Colorado continue their three-game series, and Friday’s opener has been excluded from the analysis. Last year, the Dodgers have won 13 of their 19 encounters with the Rockies.</p>



<h2>The Dodgers hope to extend their dominance over the Rockies                 </h2>



<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the new season as top favorites to win the World Series. They sit at +450 on BetOnline Sportsbook, while you can take the Dodgers at -240 to win the NL West. Los Angeles lost Corey Seager, AJ Pollock, and Kenley Jansen in free agency, but the Dodgers managed to sign Freddy Freeman on a six-year deal.</p>



<p>Freeman, who won the 2021 World Series with the Atlanta Braves, should be a massive boost for the already-loaded Los Angeles lineup. The five-time All-Star slashed .300/.393/.503 this past regular season while leading the National League in runs scored (120).</p>



<p>Tony Gonsolin will get the starting call Saturday, and the talented 27-year-old right-hander had some injury problems in 2021. He went 4-1 in 13 starts and a couple of relief appearances, posting a 3.23 ERA, 4.54 FIP, 1.35 WHIP, and 65/34 K/BB ratio across 55.2 innings of work. Gonsolin is 2-1 with a 1.40 ERA in four career starts and one relief appearance against the Rockies.</p>



<h2>The Rockies look to upset the odds in 2022         </h2>



<p>The Colorado Rockies are considered huge underdogs in the NL West with their odds to win the divisional crown at +12500. They signed Kris Bryant in the offseason but lost Trevor Story, who decided to join the Red Sox.</p>



<p>The Rockies’ pitching staff remains a big problem. German Marquez and Kyle Freeland had a lot of ups and downs in 2021, while the Rockies’ bullpen was pretty much awful, recording the fifth-worst ERA in the majors (4.91).</p>



<p>Marquez will get the nod Saturday, and the 27-year-old righty went 12-11 in 32 starts last regular season. Through 180 innings of work, he’s registered a 4.40 ERA, 3.86 FIP, 1.27 WHIP, and 176/64 K/BB ratio. Marquez is 2-1 with a 3.47 ERA in 13 career starts against the Dodgers. He met LA twice in 2021, yielding six earned runs on 12 hits and ten walks across eight frames of work.</p>



<h2>Trends:</h2>



<p><strong>LA Dodgers:</strong></p>



<ul><li>13-5 in the last 18 games against Colorado&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>16-4 in the last 20 games against the NL West</li></ul>



<p><strong>Colorado:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-7 in the last nine home games against the Dodgers</li><li>2-10 in the last 12 games against the NL West</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-los-angeles-dodgers-vs-colorado-rockies-pick">Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies Pick</h2>



<p>Tony Gonsolin has allowed three earned runs on six hits and a walk across nine innings of work at Coors Field. He should fare well in this matchup, but even if Gonsolin starts to struggle, the Dodgers have plenty of dangerous weapons in their bullpen.</p>



<p>On the other side, German Marquez will have to give five or six strong innings or the Rockies will be in big trouble. The Rockies’ bullpen is the main reason why I’m backing the Dodgers to come out on top.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Los Angeles Dodgers&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>Eight of the last ten encounters between the Dodgers and Rockies in Colorado have produced 11 or more runs in the total. Coors Field is a typical hitter-friendly ballpark, so I’m going with the over on the totals.</p>



<p>German Marquez struggled against the Dodgers in 2021. He’ll have a tall task to slow down one of the most dangerous lineups in baseball. On the other side, the Rockies slashed .280/.342/.475 at home this past regular season.&nbsp;</p>



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

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies Odds, Pick, Prediction 4/9/22

<p>Week 11 of the 2021 college football season kicks off Tuesday, November 9, with three games around the country, including the Mid-American Conference showdown at Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo, Michigan, so here’s the best Akron Zips vs. Western Michigan Broncos betting pick.&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, the Broncos are massive 25.5-point home favorites with a total of 61.5 points. Last year, Western Michigan destroyed Akron 58-13 as a 20.5-point road fave, tallying its fourth victory in the last five encounters with the Zips.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Akron lost three games in a row</h2>



<p>The Akron Zips (2-7; 4-5 ATS) are coming off a tough 31-25 home loss to the Ball State Cardinals this past Tuesday. They nearly managed to overcome an 18-point deficit but eventually failed to upset the odds as huge 20-point home underdogs.</p>



<p>The Zips extended their losing streak to three games, dropping to 1-4 in the conference play. They outgained the Cardinals in total yards (458-425) but couldn’t cope with their ground game, surrendering 5.7 yards per carry. Freshman QB Zach Gibson led the way with 331 yards and a couple of touchdowns, while freshman RB Jonzell Norrils had 17 carries for 88 yards and a TD.</p>



<p>Akron remains one of the most inefficient teams in the country. The Zips score only 20.4 points per game (116<sup>th</sup> in the nation) on 349.7 total yards (102<sup>nd</sup>), while their offensive line has allowed a whopping 48 sacks thus far, enough for the most in the country. On the other side of the ball, the Zips yield 38.0 points per contest (126<sup>th</sup>) on 446.4 total yards (114<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<h2>Western Michigan hopes to snap a two-game skid</h2>



<p>The Western Michigan Broncos (5-4; 4-4-1 ATS) have won four of their first five games in 2021, but they’ve won just one of their last four contests overall. Western Michigan is coming off a 42-30 upsetting defeat to the Central Michigan Chippewas this past Wednesday, playing as a 9-point home fave.</p>



<p>The Broncos put up an awful performance in Week 10 and fell to 2-3 in the conference play. They allowed a couple of punt-return touchdowns while turning the ball over three times. Sophomore QB Kaleb Eleby went 22-of-36 for 276 yards, a TD, and an interception, so he now has 2,253 yards, 13 touchdowns, and three picks on the season.</p>



<p>Western Michigan scores 29.1 points per game (58<sup>th</sup> in the country) on 433.9 total yards (tied-38<sup>th</sup>). The Broncos’ defense has been a huge problem all season long, surrendering 28.9 points per game (tied-85<sup>th</sup>) on just 328.3 total yards (24<sup>th</sup>).</p>



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



<p><strong>Akron:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-13 ATS in the last 20 games overall</li><li>6-13 ATS in the last 19 games against the Mid-American Conference</li><li>4-10 ATS in the last 14 games played in November&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Western Michigan:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-2 ATS in the last nine games against Akron</li><li>5-0 ATS in the last five outings as favorites of 20 or more points&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-akron-vs-western-michigan-pick">Akron vs. Western Michigan Pick</h2>



<p>Despite a huge spread, I have to go with the favorites to cover. Akron is one of the worst defensive teams in the country and will have a mountain to climb against the Broncos’ prolific offense. Western Michigan desperately needs a win to clinch its bowl eligibility, so I’m expecting the Broncos to come out of the gate running and properly trounce the Zips.</p>



<p>The Broncos have been terrific against the spread lately when playing as favorites of 20 or more points. Also, they’ve dominated Akron since 2010, going 4-1 SU and ATS in the process.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Western Michigan -25.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The over has hit in four of the last six meetings between the Zips and Broncos. Last year, they combined for 71 points in total. The under is 5-2 in Akron’s last seven outings, but the over is 3-1 in Western Michigan’s previous four showings, while the total has gone over in nine of the Broncos’ last 11 games played in November.</p>



<p>The Zips will have a tall task to hold the Broncos below a 40-point mark, but they’ll certainly stand a chance to score some points against the struggling Western Michigan defense.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 61.5 points at -110</strong></p>

<p>The NBA Play-In games continue Wednesday night when the Chicago Bulls (40-42, 18-23 away) visit the Toronto Raptors (41-41, 27-14 home). These are the two worst teams in the play-in tournament and it is hard to see either of these teams winning two games to get into the actual playoffs. Below is my <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/nba/"><strong>NBA</strong></a> pick for the Bulls vs Raptors.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-chicago-bulls-vs-toronto-raptors-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Chicago Bulls vs Toronto Raptors Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Toronto Raptors -5.0 at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betus/"><strong>BetUS Sportsbook</strong></a></p>



<p>This game will be played at Scotiabank Arena at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-toronto-raptors"><a></a>Why Bet the Toronto Raptors:</h2>



<p>✅ Toronto enters this game in pretty good form having won six of their last nine regular season games.</p>



<p>✅ The Raptors, at home, are a good team and they have won 12 of their last 13 games on their home floor.</p>



<p>✅ Chicago has lost nine of their last 11 games in Toronto.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-chicago-bulls-are-just-happy-to-be-here"><a></a>Chicago Bulls are Just Happy to be Here</h2>



<p>Chicago had a favorable schedule to end the season and they took advantage of that by winning their last two games. The Bulls were the beneficiaries of the Mavericks not wanting to make the playoffs and then beat the Pistons, who may get the first overall pick, in their regular season finale. Prior to that, the Bulls lost two games in a row.</p>



<p>The Bulls have been balanced this season as Zach LaVine leads the way with 24.8 points per game and Nikola Vucevic is grabbing 11.0 rebounds. Demar DeRozan is dishing out a team leading 5.1 assists per game this year.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-toronto-raptors-are-disappointing">The Toronto Raptors are Disappointing</h2>



<p>Toronto has been disappointing this season, but they have the talent to make a run and make some noise in the playoffs. The Raptors beat a resting Milwaukee Bucks team to end the regular season and will now look to get one win away from the playoffs proper. This team cannot compete with the top teams in the conference, but they should be able to clear this hurdle.</p>



<p>Pascal Siakam had a nice regular season and he led the Raptors with 24.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. Fred VanVleet leads the way with 7.2 assists per game this year.</p>

<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>College Basketball Betting -- Notre Dame Looks to Win Shooting Contest with Miami</strong></span></h3>
The Miami Hurricanes experienced a bit of a hiccup over this past week as they had to postpone a game against North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but after sitting out a full seven days they are back to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

This game takes place at 6 PM Eastern time at the Joyce Center in South Bend, and if you're a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customer, you can get a great deal on the odds with reduced juice. And of course, you can always make wagers during the action through Sports Betting Prime.

<strong>MIAMI HURRICANES at NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH, 6 PM ET (ACC Network)</strong>

<strong>College Basketball Betting Odds: Notre Dame -7.5, Total 140.5</strong>

Miami last saw the floor eight days ago, losing in overtime to Virginia Tech. Considering how many players they actually have available, that was a pretty good result, as was their previous outing, a victory over Duke. And obviously they're not stepping up in class here.

Isaiah Wong has been critical to this team's survival, and he has averaged 18.9 points over his last seven games. With the likes of Matt cCross and Earl Timberlake out of action, it's been a good opportunity for Elijah Olaniyi to get additional playing time.

Olaniyi is a transfer from Stony Brook who was first team all- conference in the American East a year ago. When he transferred to Miami, he was not expecting to play without having to sit out a year. But the NCAA adjusted its rules because of the pandemic, and he was given immediate eligibility. So here he is, and he seems like a natural scorer. Against Duke he had 21 points, then turned around and had 19 against Virginia Tech.

It's kind of touch-and-go as to whether the Hurricanes will have Chris Lykes available. The diminutive guard, who provides a lot of spark at the point guard position, injured his ankle early in the season and has only played a couple of games. It was hoped that he could come back last week, and he was practicing with the team, but after the North Carolina postponement, he re-injured his ankle in practice, so his status is certainly in doubt.

When you look at the Notre Dame team, they may not have scored a lot of quality wins, but they played some good programs. They've been swept by both Virginia and Virginia Tech, also losing to North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Duke, and in the non-conference schedule, Big Ten squads Michigan State, Ohio State and Purdue. But they got a little payback against Duke in the rematch last time out, as a career-high 28 points from Cormac Ryan paced them to a 93 - 89 victory.

Against the Blue Devils they shot 55% from the field, and that's been a strength, as they are indeed in the top 20 in effective field-goal percentage. Mike Brey's teams rarely turn the ball over, and this season's squad is no exception, as they rank 14th in the category of turnover percentage, according to the metrics compiled by Kenpom.com.

Notre Dame often has a sweet shooting team, and they are hitting 39% from the field. And 6 - 10 forward Nate Laszewski has been excellent at stepping out to hit the triple, with 53.3% accuracy. He's going to be a problem for Miami to deal with.

What Notre Dame doesn't necessarily do is defend all that well. They don't exert pressure, so opponents don't commit many turnovers. And they aren't exactly Hell on Wheels on the defensive glass. No, their path to victory is to hit a lot of open jump shots from beyond the arc. Miami's opponents have taken 41% of their shots from downtown, so obviously they permit that. And that is not necessarily the kind of thing you want to do against Notre Dame, which shoots treys and shoots them often, and shoots them well, at 39%.

I'm not sure that kind of combination it's going to work for Miami, so we are going to go ahead and lay the points.
