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.

North Florida Ospreys vs South Carolina Gamecocks NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/4/24

<p>An interleague blockbuster begins Friday night when the New York Yankees (34-24, 15-11 away) visit the Los Angeles Dodgers (34-23, 19-8 home). These are two of the biggest teams in baseball and no one would be surprised if this was a potential World Series preview. Below is my MLB pick for the New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Dodgers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-new-york-yankees-vs-los-angeles-dodgers-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: New York Yankees +105</p>



<p>This game will be played at Dodger Stadium at 10:10 p.m. on Friday, June 2, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-new-york-yankees"><a></a>Why Bet the New York Yankees:</h2>



<p>✅ New York has been hot having won four of their last five games played.</p>



<p>✅ The Yankees have won six of their last seven games away from Yankee Stadium/</p>



<p>✅ Los Angeles has gone 2-2 in their last four games played.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-new-york-is-gaining-steam"><a></a>New York Is Gaining Steam</h2>



<p>New York is finally hitting their stride as they have lost just once over the last week. The Yankees dug themselves a deep hole to start the season, but they have gotten back into contention in the AL East and need a big June. Trailing the first place Rays by six games, the Yankees need to avoid losing this series in Los Angeles.</p>



<p>Luis Severino is set to make his third start of the season and he has been brilliant so far. Severino has posted a 1.59 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in 11.1 innings pitched.</p>



<p>Aaron Judge is doing his thing and leading the Yankees with 18 home runs and 39 RBIs. Anthony Rizzo is batting a team high .304.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-los-angeles-dodgers-will-run-away-with-the-division-again">The Los Angeles Dodgers Will Run Away with the Division Again</h2>



<p>Los Angeles has been in good form of late and they have taken over first place in the NL West. Having won two of their last three series in May, the Dodgers enter June half a game ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West. The Dodgers enter this series after winning two of three at home against Washington.</p>

<p>The college football betting action continues Friday, October 15, 2021, with the Atlantic Coast Conference showdown at Carrier Dome in Syracuse, so we bring you the best Clemson Tigers vs. Syracuse Orange betting pick, tips, and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Tigers are firm 14-point road favorites on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, searching for their fourth straight victory over Syracuse. The Orange are +460 moneyline underdogs, while the totals sit at 45.0 points.</p>



<h2><strong>Clemson desperately needs to get things going offensively</strong></h2>



<p>The Clemson Tigers are undoubtedly the biggest disappointment of the 2021 CFB season. Through their first five outings, Dabo Swinney’s boys have been awful on the offensive end, averaging only 21.2 points per game (112<sup>th</sup> in the country) on 147.4 rushing yards (84<sup>th</sup>) and 176.8 passing yards (tied-113<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p>Sophomore QB D.J. Uiagalelei has been a disaster thus far, completing just 54.4 percent of his passing attempts. He’s tossed for 793 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. Sophomore RB Kobe Pace leads the backfield with 39 carries for 218 yards and a couple of scores, while junior wideout Justyn Ross has 23 receptions for 231 yards and three touchdowns.</p>



<p>The Tigers are coming off a bye. Back in Week 5, they barely outlasted Boston College as 14.5-point home favorites, 19-13. The Tigers held the Eagles to 357 total yards and forced three turnovers. Clemson is yielding only 12.2 points per contest (tied-2<sup>nd</sup>) on 107.0 rushing yards (24<sup>th</sup>) and 203.8 passing yards (41<sup>st</sup>).</p>



<h2><strong>Syracuse suffered another heart-breaking loss</strong></h2>



<p>The Syracuse Orange (3-3; 5-1 ATS) are coming off a tough 40-37 overtime loss to No. 19 Wake Forest this past Saturday, covering as 6-point home underdogs. It was their second defeat on the spin, as the Orange suffered a 33-30 loss at Florida State in Week 5.</p>



<p>Syracuse battled bravely against the Demon Deacons. The Orange racked up 514 total yards and 33 1<sup>st</sup> downs while surrendering 426 total yards and 21 1<sup>st</sup> downs to Wake Forest. Sophomore QB Garrett Shrader carried the pigskin 29 times for 178 yards and a TD and completed 15 of his 27 passing attempts for 160 yards and a couple of scores.</p>



<p>The Orange are scoring 31.5 points per game (tied-49<sup>th</sup> in the nation) on 244.5 rushing yards (11<sup>th</sup>) and 167.8 passing yards (116<sup>th</sup>). They are yielding 24.0 points in a return (64<sup>th</sup>) on 114.0 rushing yards (31<sup>st</sup>) and 194.2 passing yards (31<sup>st</sup>).</p>



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



<p><strong>Clemson:</strong></p>



<ul><li>0-6 ATS in the last six games overall</li><li>0-5 ATS in the last five tilts against the Atlantic Coast Conference</li></ul>



<p><strong>Syracuse:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-2 ATS in the last seven games against Clemson</li><li>7-1 ATS in the last eight games overall</li><li>5-1 ATS in the last six games at home&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-clemson-vs-syracuse-pick"><strong>Clemson vs. Syracuse Pick</strong></h2>



<p>Interestingly, the Orange are winless in nine consecutive games against the ACC, but they’ve gone 6-3 ATS in that stretch. Syracuse has been terrific against the spread as of late, so I’m backing them to cover a 14-point spread in this one.</p>



<p>The Orange are a run-heavy side and will have a tall task to outplay the Tigers’ top-notch defense. On the other side, I’m expecting Clemson to continue with an anemic offensive performance, and the Orange have been solid defensively so far this season.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Syracuse +14.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The under is 6-2 in Clemson’s last eight games overall, and it is 4-1 in the Tigers’ last five encounters with the Orange. Also, four of Syracuse’s last five games played on Friday went in the under.</p>



<p>I’ve mentioned the Tigers’ offensive woes. Clemson leans on its stout D and should slow down Syracuse’s ground game. Both teams should run as much as they can, so I’m taking the under on the totals as my best Clemson vs. Syracuse betting pick.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 45.0 points at -110</strong></p>

Dallas Mavericks vs Detroit Pistons Betting Pick & Prediction 3/9/24

<p>The 2022 MLB season continues Sunday, May 1, with the NL East showdown at Citi Field in New York, so we have prepared the best Phillies vs. Mets betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Philadelphia and New York will close down a three-game series, their second of the season. The Mets have won two of their three encounters with the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. They won the opener of this set last Friday, 3-0, while the middle contest has been excluded from the analysis.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Phillies couldn’t get a hit in the opening game&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 Philadelphia Phillies dropped to 10-11 on the season following Friday’s nightmare at Citi Field. They drew six walks but couldn’t get a single hit against the Mets’ pitching staff. On the pitching side of things, Aaron Nola yielded three earned runs on seven hits while punching out nine across six frames of work.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Phillies put an end to their four-game winning streak. They beat Colorado 7-1 last Thursday to sweep a four-game series at home, outscoring the Rockies 32-9 in the process. Back on Tuesday, Zach Eflin threw six innings of a one-run ball in a 10-3 thrashing of the Rockies.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Eflin will take the hill Sunday in New York. The 28-year-old righty is 1-1 with a 3.20 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 3.00 FIP, and 15/4 K/BB ratio through his first four starts in 2022 (19.2 innings pitched). Eflin has gone 0-2 with a pedestrian 5.14 ERA in six career starts (28 frames) at Citi Field.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Mets continue to impress&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The New York Mets’ pitching staff threw a 159-pitch gem in Friday’s opener. Tylor Megill and four relievers combined on the first no-hitter of the 2022 MLB season and the second in franchise history. The Mets improved to 15-6 on the season, boasting the best record in baseball.&nbsp;</p>



<p>New York lowered its ERA to 2.79. The Mets’ starting rotation has been terrific thus far, posting an 11-3 record to go with a 2.55 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and .183 batting average against. On the other side of the ball, the Mets have recorded a .261/.343/.395 triple-slash (.232/.308/.370 league average).&nbsp;</p>



<p>Max Scherzer will toe the rubber Sunday, searching for his second win against Phila in 2022. The 37-year-old right-hander threw five innings of a one-run ball in a 9-6 road victory over the Phillies on April 13. Scherzer has recorded ten strikeouts and 21 outs in each of his previous two starts, surrendering only one earned run in the process. He’s 3-0 with a shiny 1.80 ERA and 33/8 K/BB ratio across 25 frames in 2022.&nbsp;</p>



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



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



<ul><li>3-12 in the last 15 games on the road&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>NY Mets:</strong></p>



<ul><li>9-3 in the last 12 games overall&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>5-1 in the last six games at home&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Mets look like a well-rounded team and with Max Scherzer on the mound, they should beat the Phillies once again. Keep your eyes on Starling Marte, who’s 7-for-11 with five doubles and one home run against Zach Eflin.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The current Phillies are slashing only .134/.197/.209 with six homers, 21 walks, and 84 strikeouts in 233 at-bats against Scherzer. Mad Max has gone 4-0 in five starts against the Phillies over the last two years.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take New York Mets at -175&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>Both bullpens have done a great job over the last ten days. New York’s ‘pen has recorded a 2.67 ERA while striking out 12.5 per nine innings. On the other side, the Phillies’ relief pitching has posted a 2.57 ERA, 3.20 FIP, and 9.9 K/9.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Betting on the under seems like a logical choice. However, I don’t feel comfortable with a 7-run line, as you never know what can happen down the stretch. The under backers will hope for another strong performance by the Mets’ pitching staff.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 7.0 runs at -115&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets Odds, Pick, Prediction 5/1/22

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are headed for a collision with history. They haven't lost, and nobody - with the exception of West Virginia - has even come close. Not since Indiana in 1976 has a team won the national title with an undefeated record.

So what's to stop them?

Well..... maybe a USC Trojans team that is bound and determined to provide the Pac-12 Conference, which had three teams in the Elite Eight, with at least one entrant in the Final Four.

It's a big job, but somebody's got to do it.

That mission gets underway on Tuesday night at 7:15 PM ET at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and you know, while TBS is televising it, <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline</strong> </a>customers can engage in all kinds of betting props - more than you'll find anywhere else.

<strong>USC TROJANS vs. GONZAGA BULLDOGS, 7:15 PM ET (TBS)</strong>

<em>NCAA Tournament Betting Odds: Gonzaga -9 / Total 153.5</em>

Gonzaga scores more points per game than anyone in the nation, and as we mentioned, the rugged West Virginia Mountaineers are the only team that has thrown any kind of scare into them. Every win but that one has come by double digits. And it's not because they have gone up against "filler" either; they beat the likes of Kansas, Virginia and Iowa in the non-conference schedule, not to mention three wins over BYU in the West Coast Conference slate.

As the #1 overall seed, they have not been seriously challenged in the NCAA Tournament either. It's not much of an argument that USC is the best team they have faced on this journey. But they aren't the best opponent they've faced all season.

Still, this is one of those potential "pain in the ass" matchups for the 'Zags. That is because what they do best on offense meets its match with what USC does on defense. And if you want to go by the statistics, each of them do that better than anybody.

Let's explain.

Gonzaga is head and shoulders above everybody else inside the three-point arc. They are hitting just below 64% from two-point range, which is best in the country. And they went far beyond that in their Sweet Sixteen game against Creighton, as they nailed 25 of 33 (75.8%).

USC is #1 in the nation DEFENDING two-pointers, allowing just 41.5%, and Oregon didn't do much better than that on Sunday, shooting just 43% from that territory.

So it really comes down to what Evan Mobley and his brother Isaiah Mobley can do against someone like, say, Drew Timme, who is not a bad playmaker at the center position, and is a great "garbage man" around the basket. Then, of course, there is Jalen Suggs, who drives to the basket and ignites the fast-break offense.

It is plausible to say that this is the most resistance Gonzaga has met this season, and while we concede that they've got some people like Suggs, Joel Ayayi and Corey Kispert who can stick threes if they have to, that's not necessarily the game they want to play. The 'Zags score less than 25% of their points from beyond the arc. That means it's not the game they want to play. And USC has a tendency to push the opponent out there.

So it might be a different kind of game than usual for Gonzaga.

We do know that the 'Zags want to step up the tempo. We also know that USC is in no hurry. Gonzaga isn't usually lauded for its defense, but they did a pretty good job against Creighton the other day.

USC will cramp Gonzaga's style, but we don't really trust them to cover this number, especially considering Gonzaga's record against all different styles of opponents. But the total - specifically the UNDER - is the way to go here.
