<p><strong>Denver Nuggets vs. Brooklyn Nets Pick</strong></p>



<p>The Nuggets do have a better offense, while the teams are pretty equal when it comes to defense, but I am backing the Nets because they are playing well against Denver, who is not playing well in general recently. The Nets already beat the Nuggets a week ago in Colorado and I believe Brooklyn can sweep the season series on Sunday. Denver lost four of the previous six on the road and six of the last eight in H2H duels at Barclays Center. The current form, even though Brooklyn lost the last two, is on the Nets’ side, and I am going with them in this one.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Nets at +3.5 (-120)</p>



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



<p>Denver is scoring 116.9 points per game opposite Brooklyn’s 113.5 points per contest, while the Nuggets allow 113.0 ppg opposite the Nets’ 112.9 ppg. The Nuggets played on Saturday against the Knicks and will undoubtedly be a bit tired on Sunday, so I expect to see some heavy legs from the visitors, especially on defense. That’s a chance for the hosts to bounce back from a pair of poor offensive displays and score a bunch of easy points. Over is 4-0-1 in the last five H2H meetings and Over is 6-1 in the previous seven H2H duels in Brooklyn.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 231.5 points (-130)</p>

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.

<p>A potential National League Championship Series preview begins Monday night when the Philadelphia Phillies (15-14, 7-9 away) visit the Los Angeles Dodgers (16-13, 9-6 home). These are two of the better teams in the National League and both are playing well. Below is my MLB pick for the Phillies vs Dodgers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-philadelphia-phillies-vs-los-angeles-dodgers-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -167 at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports/"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a></p>



<p>This game will be played at Dodger Stadium at 10:10 p.m. on Monday, May 1, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-los-angeles-dodgers"><a></a>Why Bet the Los Angeles Dodgers:</h2>



<p>✅ Los Angeles has been good of late and have won six of their last eight games played.</p>



<p>✅ The Phillies lost three of their last four games at Dodger Stadium.</p>



<p>✅ Philadelphia had to play on Sunday Night Baseball and will have to travel from Houston to Los Angeles in a quick turnaround. The Dodgers were home all weekend.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-philadelphia-phillies-have-a-tough-schedule"><a></a>Philadelphia Phillies Have a Tough Schedule</h2>



<p>The Philadelphia Phillies are in the middle of a tough portion of their schedule, but it seems to have lit a flame under them as they have started to play well. Philadelphia is coming off a weekend in Houston that saw them take two of three from the team that beat them in the World Series. The Phillies won the first two games of the series and then lost a tough series finale on Sunday Night Baseball.</p>



<p>Taijuan Walker is set to make his sixth start of the season and he will look to improve on his 4.97 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 25.1 innings pitched.</p>



<p>The Phillies have been balanced at the dish as Brandon Marsh leads the way with a .329 batting average, Kyle Schwarber has mashed six home runs, and Alec Bohm has knocked in a team high 21 RBIs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-los-angeles-dodgers-got-a-much-needed-sweep">The Los Angeles Dodgers Got a Much-Needed Sweep</h2>



<p>Los Angeles was coming off a series loss to the, surprising, Pittsburgh Pirates and needed a nice bounce back over the weekend. They got exactly that as they hosted the struggling St. Louis Cardinals and swept them right out of Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers pitching staff did not allow more than three runs in any game and the offense scored six runs in two of the three wins.</p>



<p>Tony Gonsolin is set to make his second start of the season and he was solid in his first outing, throwing 3.1 shutout innings.</p>



<p>Max Muncy has been mashing this season as he leads the Dodgers with 11 home runs and 22 RBIs. Freddie Freeman has a team high .292 batting average.</p>
