Buffalo Sabres vs Anaheim Ducks Betting Pick & Prediction 11/22/24

As great of a season as the Tampa Bay Rays had in 2019, they still finished seven games behind the New York Yankees. The Yankees certainly got better with the signing of Gerrit Cole and will hope for the healthy returns of Luis Severino, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton.

The Rays are the chief threat once again. The Boston Red Sox spent their offseason trying to shed money because the tax of having too many luxuries became too burdensome for owner John Henry. That resulted in the trade of Mookie Betts and David Price to the Los Angeles Dodgers. A good package of players returned, but only one, Alex Verdugo, will make an impact in 2020.

The Toronto Blue Jays will be much better with full seasons of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, and a revamped starting rotation of Major League pitchers with actual track records. The Baltimore Orioles will still be a bottom-feeder.

With that, here are the odds to win the AL East per <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a> as of February 20, 2020:

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/new-york-yankees-win-total-analysis/144/"><strong>New York</strong></a><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/new-york-yankees-win-total-analysis/144/"> Yankees</a> -425</strong>

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/tampa-bay-rays-win-total-analysis/136/"><strong>Tampa</strong><strong> Bay</strong></a><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/tampa-bay-rays-win-total-analysis/136/"> Rays</a> +650</strong>

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/boston-red-sox-win-total-analysis/159/"><strong>Boston</strong></a><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/boston-red-sox-win-total-analysis/159/"> Red Sox</a> +1025</strong>

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/toronto-blue-jays-win-total-analysis/134/"><strong>Toronto</strong></a><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/toronto-blue-jays-win-total-analysis/134/"> Blue Jays</a> +5350</strong>

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/baltimore-orioles-win-total-analysis/160/"><strong>Baltimore</strong></a><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/baltimore-orioles-win-total-analysis/160/"> Orioles</a> +85000</strong>

There are only two options in this division. The first is to lay -425 to tie up your money for more than seven months on the Yankees to win the AL East. The other is to take the BaseRuns and 3rd Order Win% AL East champs of 2019 at +650. The Yankees won by seven games based on the actual records of games played, but the Rays had the better record per the alternate standings metrics of BaseRuns, a context-neutral run differential metric, and 3rd Order Win%, which is adjusted based on strength of schedule and “underlying concepts” as calculated by Baseball Prospectus.

You can read more about it in the team preview for the Yankees, but New York was much better with men on base than with the bases empty and that created a rather big gap between the team’s actual record and the BaseRuns record.

Ultimately, the game is played between the lines and the Yankees are still very likely to win this division. The -425 price tag implies that the Yankees win the division about 81% of the time. That seems a little bit high to me.

The February announcement that Severino had a setback after last season’s injury-plagued campaign does make the Rays a little bit more interesting. The Yankees are missing Domingo German for a domestic violence suspension and James Paxton had a surgical procedure on his back that will keep him out until at least June.

The Rays could very well win the AL East. They are the only other team that can. If you wanted to take the +650 price, you could and you could easily justify it, given that this is a two-team race and one of the horses is already limping out of the starting gate. The +650 price tag implies a 13.33% likelihood of the Rays winning this division and that seems light to me, particularly when they really are the only other team with the chance to do so.

Tampa Bay +650 is really the only option for a division future here and it is a pretty good one all in all.

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.

<h3><strong>DETROIT LIONS at MINNESOTA VIKINGS, 1 PM ET</strong></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a> NFL Football Odds: Vikings -4, Total 50.5</strong></h4>
Did the Minnesota Vikings get untracked by any chance last weekend? They seemed to play a little "bully ball" with the Green Bay Packers, and with Dalvin Cook apparently good to go, they are in a good position to make Kirk Cousins more effective by being able to take some of the pressure off him.

Cook had been bothered by a groin injury but didn't show any effects of it last Sunday, as he ran for 163 yards and scored three touchdowns in a win over Green Bay. Some think that Cousins customarily tries to do too much; well, he only had to throw 14 passes against the Packers.

At its best, Minnesota's offense will run the ball more than it passes. And in the two meetings last season against the Lions, they were able to go heavy on the ground, not chalking up a high yard-per-carry figure but pounding out 286 yards and churning the clock.

Detroit generally has some low efficiency numbers when defending the run; they are 24th in Adjusted Line Yards allowed, and they are not likely to keep opponents without a gain ("stuffing" just 14% of the time).

As most BetAnySports patrons know, Matt Patricia came to the Lions' head coaching job with a background as an assistant under Bill Belichick, handling defensive coordinator duties. But it is getting more and more clear that he needs to do something to reverse this team's fortunes. They are 3-4 right now (both SU and ATS) and while they are not horribly out of it, they are not contenders.

Minnesota's offensive line has the ability to really get humming. This is a team that does not get stuffed without positive yardage very often, although when Cook (second in the league in rushing yards) is not in the lineup, it's a whole different ball game.

This is usually one of those situations that requires an "all hands on deck" approach, but the Lions unfortunately don't have that going. In this game they'll be missing defensive end Trey Flowers, who is on injured reserve with a wrist injury, and he has been the most consistent defender they've had.

We wonder whether there will be an "Everson Griffen" factor. For ten years he played in Minnesota, six under coach Mike Zimmer, making the Pro Bowl four times. During the off-season he signed with Dallas as a free agent, but the Lions just made a trade for him.

Griffen not only knows the Vikings' offensive scheme pretty well, he also has a chip on his shoulder. When asked about Griffen, Zimmer described him as a "good" player for him. Apparently that wasn't enough for Griffen, who must have been longing to be called "great," and his feelings were hurt. In this age of high sensitivity and social media, that functions as the equivalent of "blackboard material."

By the way, Zimmer practically admitted that the Vikes' run-heavy approach in Green Bay, which featured 30 carries on the part of Cook, was a reaction to the unfavorable weather conditions. That isn't the case in the indoor setting of US Bank Stadium. The more we see of Cousins, the better a chance Detroit may have. Grabbing more than a field goal, we're happy to take the points with DETROIT, but keep in mind that we make that call under the assumption that Matthew Stafford, who was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list this week, will get the clearance to play.
