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.

These Big 12 rivals will meet for the second time this year; the Cowboys won 67-60 at home.</p>



<p><strong>Cowboys were dismantled by TCU on the road</strong></p>



<p>The Oklahoma State Cowboys (16-11, 14-13-0 ATS) went through their best period of the season as they recorded five consecutive wins, but returned to losing ways against the Kansas Jayhawks and TCU Horned Frogs. The Cowboys allowed a season-high 100 points in a 100-75 road loss to the Horned Frogs. It was evident they are going to lose this one after trailing by 20 at the interval.

<p>Junior guard Bryce Thompson led the Cowboys with a game-high 18 points, four rebounds, four assists, and game-high three steals. John-Michael Wright scored 15 points, while Caleb Asberry added 12 points. Oklahoma State’s bench contributed 22 points opposite TCU’s 39.</p>

<p>The West Virginia Mountaineers (15-12, 12-15-0 ATS) returned from a two-game road trip on which they suffered losses to the Texas Longhorns and Baylor Bears, but couldn’t get a win as they lost to the Texas Tech Red Raiders 78-72. The Mountaineers played well in the opening half and had a 1-point lead at halftime, but the Red Raiders switched to a higher gear in the second 20 minutes and got a victory. The hosts did make 11 three-pointers opposite Texas Tech’s six, but the visitors were better from the foul line (14-7) and in rebounds (39-28).</p>



<p>Senior guard Erik Stevenson led the Mountaineers with a game-high 27 points. Kedrian Johnson added 20 points, game-high four assists, and two steals. They lacked help from teammates; nobody managed to score more than five points besides two of them.</p>

<p><strong>Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. West Virginia Mountaineers Pick</strong></p>



<p>The Mountaineers have a better offense than the Cowboys; West Virginia is scoring 76.3 points per game opposite Oklahoma State’s 69.7 ppg. Still, I believe a stronger defense will prevail on Monday, and the visitors are better in that segment. They are allowing 65.6 ppg, while the Mountaineers allow 70.8 ppg. West Virginia surrendered 71+ points in seven of the last eight games, and I am backing the Cowboys, who scored 71+ in seven of their previous eight, to stay close and perhaps outscore the hosts.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Cowboys at +7.5 (-133)</p>



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



<p>West Virginia is struggling defensively of late and even though the Cowboys are not a highly-scoring team, they will have a decent chance to score 70+ points on Monday. Even though the Mountaineers failed to impress on offense in the last four games, they do have the potential to also score more than 70 in this one, so I expect a high-scoring affair. Over is 7-1 in the Cowboys’ last eight overall; Over is 4-0 in the Mountaineers’ previous four home games, while Over is 8-0 in West Virginia’s last eight home games vs. a team with a losing road record.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 141.5 points (-133)</p>
