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.

Toronto's overall series record is 15-21-5, and they are 6-4 across their last 10 games.</p><p>When the Blue Jays are on the road, they are a good bet against the run line, as they are 43-25 on the run line. They have a negative run differential both at home and on the road, but they are covering the run line at a better rate away from Toronto.</p><p>The Blue Jays are on the road today to face the Red Sox, and the over/under line for the game is set at 9 runs. Toronto's games have averaged 8.9 runs per game this season, and their over/under record is 72-60. When the over/under line is set at 9 runs, the Blue Jays are 4-10-2, and only 8.1% of their games have had lines set at 9 runs or higher. Their games have had an average over/under line of 8 runs, and their games have gone under the line in 80.0% of their games this season.</p><p>Bowden Francis has been pitching well for the Blue Jays, as he has won his last three starts. Most recently, he faced the Angels on August 24th and picked up the win, going 8 innings and giving up just one earned run. Looking at his overall numbers, Francis is 7-3 with a 4.02 ERA. Opponents are batting .215 off the right-hander this season. Francis has made 12 starts on the road, going 4-3 with a 4.24 ERA. At home, his ERA is 5.47.</p><p>For the Blue Jays to improve on their 4.2 runs per game average, they will need George Springer to pick things up at the plate. For the season, Springer is batting just .219, and over his last nine games, he has gone 7/36 with four homers. However, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been on fire of late, hitting .406 over his last nine games, with two homers. Guerrero Jr. comes into the game with a team-high 27 homers and 87 RBIs, which is 9th in the league.</p>

<p>Overall, the Blue Jays are batting a collective .239, which is 13th in the league, and they have been pretty good at avoiding strikeouts, as they are 6th in the league in this category. So far, they have been a below-average home run hitting team, and their collective isolated power of .153 is also below the league average.</p><h3>Red Sox Records & Stats</h3><p>Boston is 69-64 overall and trails the Yankees by 8.5 games in the AL East. Currently, they are 3rd in the division and have gone 18-17 in AL East matchups. The Red Sox have won two straight games, and they are 4-6 over their last 10 games.</p>

<p>At home, the Red Sox are 31-37 this year compared to 38-27 on the road. As the home favorite, Boston is 22-25 this year and 36-30 as the favorite overall. Their overall series record is 21-15-5, and they are leading the Blue Jays 2-1 in this series.</p><p>When it comes to betting the run line on the Boston Red Sox, it's been a mixed bag this season. They're just 62-71 against the run line overall, but they've been much better on the road, going 38-27. They've covered the run line in two straight games overall and as the underdog, they're 39-28 against the run line. Their average run margin in winning games is 3.9, but it's -4.0 in losing games.</p><p>The Boston Red Sox are playing at home against the Toronto Blue Jays, and the over/under line for the game is set at 9 runs. The combined run average in Red Sox games this season is 9.7, and their over/under record is 69-57. When the over/under line is set at 9 runs, their record is 8-5-3. Overall, 30.1% of their games have had over/under lines set at 9 runs, and their current under streak is at 2 games.</p><p>Kutter Crawford gets the start for the Red Sox today and will be looking to bounce back from a rough outing vs. the Diamondbacks, where he took the loss. In that start, he gave up two earned runs on three hits in five innings of work. Looking back over his last four outings, Crawford has given up at least two home runs in three of them. His record for the season is 8-11, and he has an ERA of 4.19. Opposing batters are hitting .216 off Crawford this season. Overall, he has made 27 appearances and 11 of them have been quality starts.</p><p>So far this season, the Red Sox have been one of the league's best offenses, averaging 4.9 runs per game (6th) and batting a collective .259 (3rd). They have also been one of the league's top home run hitting teams, as their 168 homers is the 6th best mark in the league. One of the reasons they have been so good offensively is that they have the league's best team BABIP at .32.</p>

<p>Coming into the game, Jarren Duran is one of the league's hottest hitters, as he has gone 13/36 (.361) in his last 10 games, including four homers. For the season, he is batting .295 with 20 homers, which is 3rd on the team. Rafael Devers is leading the Red Sox with 28 homers and 80 RBIs, while batting .290.</p>

It doesn’t seem like we talk enough about bad beats on the race track, but Xfinity Series bettors were treated to a couple of gems last week. Noah Gragson won Stage 2 and led the most laps in both races at Homestead-Miami and failed to win either one. Harrison Burton won on Saturday and Chase Briscoe won on Sunday.

We’ll see if Gragson can snag that elusive third win of the season this week at Talladega Superspeedway in the Unhinged 300. Admittedly, something that I missed is that we’re in the midst of the Dash 4 Cash races for the Xfinity Series, so the drivers have some extra incentive to win, which makes Gragson’s tough losses hurt that much more.

This is the third of the four Dash 4 Cash events. As you would expect with Talladega, the odds for the favorites have been depressed a bit and the odds for the middle group have also been impacted. This is technically no longer a restrictor plate race, as a tapered spacer is being used in lieu of the restrictor plate, but for all intents and purposes, it is the same concept.

With that in mind, here are the odds for the Unhinged 300 from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a>:

This will be a long grind for the drivers after running twice last week at Homestead-Miami. The 2.66-mile loop at Talladega is a long one. This winds up being 300.58 miles if extra laps are not required for overtime. It will also be quite a bit hotter in Lincoln, Alabama than normal with the race date moved from late April to June 20.

<strong><u>The Betting Board</u></strong>

As you can clearly see, the odds get a facelift with a race like this. Chase Briscoe, Justin Allgaier, Noah Gragson, and Ross Chastain are all priced at +770. The next tier of drivers is Austin Cindric, Justin Haley, AJ Allmendinger, Harrison Burton, and Brandon Jones, with the first three at +1100 and the last two at +1200.

Through 10 events, Gragson, Briscoe, and Burton have combined for seven wins. Jones, Allmendinger, and Kyle Busch have the others. Allmendinger has only run in three races, but he has a win and will likely have enough points to steal a playoff spot if he keeps running regularly or at least semi-regularly.

Gragson won the season-opening race at Daytona and has finished in the top five in seven of the 11 races, so he is very much deserving of being a co-favorite. Allgaier has four stage wins, but only two top-five finishes. It seems like he is overpriced week after week and if you’ve found some Xfinity Series matchups, you’ve made good money fading him. Perhaps that changes this week, but you can see why some would believe he isn’t on that same level as Gragson and Briscoe.

Chastain is another interesting one to be up that high, given that he only has two top-five finishes this season.

<strong><u>How They’ve Done</u></strong>

That means we need to take a closer look at how these guys have done at Talladega. This is only a once-a-year stop for the Xfinity Series, so we have much smaller sample sizes for these guys, plus there are a lot of relative newbies to the Xfinity Series with only one or two attempts at this track.

As such, we look at Allgaier, who returned to the Xfinity Series in 2016 and has four data points here. He’s been second, eighth, third, and 28th, but he led the most laps back in 2017 when he finished eighth. That is why he is listed among the favorites. That being said, despite the JR Motorsports backing and the experience, he only has one win in his last 51 Xfinity Series races. He’s had a lot of top-five finishes, but only the one victory.

Jones is an elder statesman at this point in the Xfinity Series at 23 with 147 races under his belt. He was the runner-up at Talladega in 2018 and led the most laps in 2016 before finishing 18th. He only has two Xfinity Series wins out of all of those races, so it would be tough to trust him this week or any week.

Chastain has four Xfinity Series starts here and hasn’t finished higher than 16th. He has run a little better at Daytona, including last year’s win in the summer race. That is why he’s getting so much respect on his name this week.

Briscoe has two starts here and has finished 16th and fourth. Cindric also has two and has finished 30th and fifth. Rookie Burton ran a smattering of races last year, but none of them included Talladega.

The obvious one with sample size here is Allmendinger. He finished fifth in the Cup Series in 2014, but had a lot of pedestrian efforts otherwise. This will be his first Xfinity Series start at Talladega. For a guy that had one win and 57 top-10 finishes in 371 Cup Series races, he sure has milked a long stock car career out of things. He does have four wins in 19 Xfinity Series races.

<strong><u>So, What Do We Do?</u></strong>

That is the million dollar question here. The winners the last four years in this race are Elliott Sadler, Aric Almirola, Spencer Gallagher, and Tyler Reddick, so pretty much all over the map. Brennan Poole actually looked like the winner in 2016, but Sadler was ahead when a last-lap caution came out during the overtime finish.

We don’t have a lot of Talla-data, if you will, to go off of with the current crop of Xfinity Series drivers and especially the top guys. We have some Daytona data, but not much and the two races are indeed different.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, there is a big gap between the “haves” and the “have-nots” given the winners and all the stage points. It sure seems like Burton, who only has 58 stage points, has gotten very fortunate to be where he is in third place. The others in the top five have 122, 106, 119, and 112 stage points. Maybe that makes him something of a fade candidate.

Maybe this is the week for Allgaier, but it won’t be with a ticket from me. He’ll have to prove he can get another win first. To sit fourth in stage points and eighth in points overall speaks to the issues that he has had late in races.

Forced to pick somebody here, Brandon Jones gets the nod at +1200. He ran extremely well on the big track at Auto Club Speedway with two stage wins and the most laps led. He’s been pretty consistent overall and has had two pretty strong runs at the Superspeedway in the past.

Coverage of the Unhinged 300 will be on FS1 on Saturday June 20 with a 5:30 p.m. ET start time.

At the 11th hour, the Xfinity Series found a sponsor for this weekend’s race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. Say hello to the Production Alliance Group 300. This race will consist of 150 laps around the two-mile track. The Xfinity Series will be idle next week when the Cup Series heads to Martinsville.

This is the fifth race of 26 set for the regular season. The next race, which takes place at Texas Motor Speedway on March 30, will also seem as a qualifying race for the first Dash 4 Cash event. The three races in April and the first race of May will be Dash 4 Cash events. No Cup Series drivers can run those events, so we’re getting into a sweet spot on the schedule for the points-eligible guys.

<h5><strong>Busch Bash</strong></h5>
Kyle Busch is in the field this week. Kyle Busch is the favorite at -145. This will be the third straight Xfinity Series race for Busch and he is looking for his third straight win. He led the most laps at both Las Vegas and Phoenix en route to the win. Stage wins went to Cole Custer and Tyler Reddick at Las Vegas and to Austin Cindric and Christopher Bell at Phoenix, but the all-important wins went to Busch.

This development is suboptimal for the Xfinity Series guys. As mentioned last week, Busch only won once in his seven starts last year. Over the previous two years, Busch won 15 of his 27 races. Busch is 16-for-34 over the last three years. This is an oversimplification of odds and implied probabilities, but 47.06 percent would be +112.

Busch actually hasn’t won in his last three tries at California at this level, but has been in the top three each of those years.

Oh, yeah, and he’s a four-time winner of this race.
<h5><strong>Xtra Intrigue?</strong></h5>
Here is the Xfinity Series, wins can be tough to come by. Austin Dillon won this race in 2016. Outside of that, dating back to 2009, Busch has four wins, Joey Logano has two, Kyle Larson has two, and Kevin Harvick has one. In other words, the Xfinity drivers haven’t stood much of a chance in this race in the past.

This week, Busch is the only Cup guy that they have to worry about. Christopher Bell is the closest thing to a Cup guy in the Xfinity Series and he is the second favorite at +450. He could have won last week, but went into the wall after another driver’s engine blew in front of him. That wreck also took out Justin Allgaier. That made it real easy for Busch to win.

Speaking of Allgaier, he’s the fourth favorite this week at +1050. Cole Custer is +780. Nothing against the 21-year-old, but he has two wins in more than two full years of Xfinity Series starts. It is really, really hard to take him at any price point under double digits. Anytime there is a Cup Series guy or two in the field, it adjusts Bell’s price, making him just about the only guy worth taking.
<h5><strong>Cats, Bags, Etc.</strong></h5>
So, with that in mind, are there any value guys or did I let the cat out of the bag? Look, it’s NASCAR. There is always the chance that somebody else wins. Allgaier had five wins last year. Spencer Gallagher, Ryan Preece, and Chase Briscoe had wins. Tyler Reddick had wins at Daytona and Homestead. John Hunter Nemechek won at Kansas.

It happens. Of the regular season races that weren’t Dash 4 Cash events or solo events, Cup Series guys had 13 wins. That means we exclude the four Dash 4 Cash events, Iowa twice, Road America, and Mid-Ohio. Of those 18 races, Cup guys won 13. It’s a tough sell when any are in the field. Fortunately, there is only one this week.

You can look for some value bets in races without Cup Series guys. For now, when those guys are present, your options are basically Cup guys, Bell, or Allgaier.
<h5><strong>Picks</strong></h5>
It’s hard to lay -145 with Kyle Busch, but he’s 2-for-2 in the Toyota Supra at this level. Justin Allgaier ran really well here last year and Christopher Bell runs well just about everywhere. It would be nice to have something creative or outside of the box for you here, but it’s just too hard to find given how top-heavy this field is.
