The Twins' overall series record is 13-9-2, and they have gone 7-3 over their last 10 games.</p><p>Minnesota has been a solid bet on the run line this season, going 34-43 overall. They have been a better bet on the road, where they are 19-19. They have a positive run differential both overall and on the road, but have been a better bet to cover the run line as the underdog.</p><p>The Twins are on the road today against the Athletics, and the over/under line for the game is set at 8 runs. Minnesota's games have averaged 9.2 runs per game this season, and their overall over/under record is 36-39. When the line is set at 8 runs, their record is 5-10-2.

He has made 15 starts this season and has a record of 6-6 with an ERA of 5.62. Looking at his overall numbers, López has a WHIP of 1.25 and opponents are batting .261 this season. In his last outing, he finished with a no-decision, giving up five earned runs in four innings of work. Before that, he had won two straight starts. One positive note for López is that he has a BB/9 figure of 2.02 compared to 9.79 strikeouts per nine innings.</p><p>For the season, the Twins are averaging 4.7 runs per game, which is 8th in the league. They have been even better on the road, averaging 4.9 runs per contest.

<p>Carlos Santana and Ryan Jeffers are both tied for the team lead with 12 home runs, with Santana's 38 RBIs leading the team. Royce Lewis has been a great surprise for the Twins so far, as he is batting .371 with 10 homers. He has also been on a tear of late, going 10/28 with five homers in his last seven games.</p><h3>Athletics Records & Stats</h3><p>With a record of 29-50, the Athletics are 5th in the AL West, trailing the Mariners by 16 games. So far, they have gone just 6-14 in AL West matchups. The Athletics have struggled on the road, putting together a mark of 11-28. At home, they are 18-22 this season.</p>

<p>As the underdog, the Athletics have gone 23-48 this year, compared to a mark of 6-2 as the favorite. Oakland's overall series record is 8-15-1, and they are just 3-7 over their last ten games.</p><p>When betting the run line on the Oakland Athletics, it's been more profitable to take them as the underdog. They are 38-33 against the run line as the underdog compared to just 2-6 as the favorite. The A's have an overall run line record of 40-39, with an average run margin of -1.2 runs per game.</p><p>The Oakland Athletics are playing at home against the Minnesota Twins today.

In that outing, he gave up four hits, two walks, and one homer. Overall, he has made four starts and six appearances this season, finishing with a no-decision in each of his last three outings before getting the win vs. the Royals. Harris has a record of 1-0 and ERA of 2.37 to go along with a WHIP of 1.12. Opposing batters are hitting .207 off the left-hander this season. Per nine innings, Harris has 7.71 strikeouts and 3.26 walks.</p><p>So far this season, the Athletics are averaging just 3.6 runs per game, which is 28th in the league. This number is even worse on the road, where they are averaging only 3.2 runs per contest. As a team, the Athletics are batting just .222, which is 21st in the league. However, they do have the 7th most home runs in the league and have the 11th best walk rate in the MLB.</p>

<p>Over his last seven games, Zack Gelof has gone 6/26 with three home runs and seven RBIs. For the season, Shea Langeliers is batting just .207, but he does have 14 home runs, which is 11th in the league. Brent Rooker has also been a bright spot for the Athletics offense, as his 44 RBIs are the best mark on the team, and his 13 homers are 2nd on the team and 12th in the league.</p>

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.

<p>Uriah Hall and Sean Strickland may not carry the weight as Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane, literally and figuratively, but this week’s UFC on ESPN 28 card has the chance to be a good lead-in to the next big pay-per-view card coming up on August 7.</p>



<p>Before we get to that point, we have this week’s UFC Vegas 33 card at the Apex. There are 13 fights scheduled for this card with that Hall vs. Strickland main event. Coming off of an outstanding card with a great main event and some questionable judging, we’ll have to see what the July 31 card has in store for us.</p>



<p>To do that, we’ll use the odds from <strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline Sportsbook</a></strong> to break down the 13 matches on the card this weekend and spend a little extra time on the main card fights.</p>

<h3><strong><u>Phil Rowe (+128) vs. Orion Cosce (-148); Total: 1.5 (-180/150)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Phil Rowe lost his first fight under contract to Gabe Green back in February. He was a Dana White Contender Series winner over Leon Shahbazyan in August 2019, but it took a while for his first fight. That came at UFC 258. He’s now the opener of this card against Orion Cosce, who has been waiting for his first contract fight after beating Matt Dixon on DWCS this past August.</p>



<p>Cosce’s win pushed his record out to 7-0. He’s giving up a lot of size here, but seems to be the better striker. Rowe has fought at higher levels and has a better ground game. It’s a tough fight to call.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Trevin Jones (+135) vs. Ronnie Lawrence (-155); Total: 2.5 (-115/-115)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Trevin Jones slots in as a late replacement for John Castaneda in this one. Jones is technically 2-0 in UFC, but his win over Timur Valiev was eradicated because of a positive pot test. Jones faces Ronnie Lawrence here, as Lawrence looks to improve to 8-1 in his career. His lone loss came in Bellator back in 2016 and he was away from MMA for a while after that.</p>



<p>Lawrence returned in February 2019 and just scored his first UFC contract win back in February. Jones got his first official one the first week of March. This fight would seem to be a closer call than the line indicates, as Jones has gotten better with age.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Jinh Yu Frey (+120) vs. Ashley Yoder (-140); Total: 2.5 (-400/300)</u></strong></h3>



<p>The judges made a lot of questionable decisions last week, but they may be called upon here with heavy over juice in the fight between Jinh Yu Frey and Ashley Yoder. Frey, a former champ in Invicta, is just 1-2 in her three UFC fights. Yoder has lost three of her last four, but at least they’ve all been against UFC competition.</p>



<p>With a decision likely in the smaller Octagon, Yoder’s big size edge might be the difference here. Neither fighter has fared well lately, so that seems like about all we can go on for this one.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Danny Chavez (-103) vs. Kai Kamaka III (-117); Total: 2.5 (-200/160)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Danny Chavez is 1-1 in his two UFC fights to this point, as he topped TJ Brown and lost to Jared Gordon. Kai Kamaka III is 1-2, with losses in each of his last two fights, including one to Brown as a common opponent. The two losses for Kamaka come on the heels of a six-fight winning streak that included stops in Bellator and LFA.</p>



<p>Chaves had won four in a row. Neither guy fought great competition on the way up the ranks and this fight does seem as even as the line suggests. Neither guy has a lot of paths to victory either. This is a tough fight to find an edge.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Chris Gruetzemacher (+255) vs. Rafa Garcia (-305); Total: 2.5 (-140/110)</u></strong></h3>



<p>This is a big fight for 35-year-old Chris Gruetzemacher. He is just 1-3 in his last four UFC fights, including a loss in October to Alexander Hernandez. It was his first fight since April 2018. Maybe he’ll be in a better spot with a shorter turnaround here against Rafa Garcia, but the heavy line suggests that he won’t be.</p>



<p>The 26-year-old Garcia was one of several recent Combate Americas fighters to head to the UFC. He lost his debut fight to Nasrat Haqparast by unanimous decision in March, but it came with a 13-month layoff. He should be in better shape here, making him a solid money line parlay piece.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Collin Anglin (+110) vs. Melsik Baghdasaryan (-130); Total: 2.5 (-140/110)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Collin Anglin was impressive enough in his Dana White Contender Series win back on September 15 to get a crack here against Melsik Baghdasaryan, a 29-year-old Armenian who fought a couple weeks prior in his own Contender Series match. That win was the first for Baghdasaryan to not come via knockout, as he needed to full 15 minutes with Dennis Buzukja.</p>



<p>This is a very interesting fight because we have two 5-foot-9 knockout artists in the smaller UFC Octagon at the Apex. The under 2.5 at plus money is screaming for a bet here, given that both guys had finished their previous four fights by KO/TKO because tightening up a bit on the Contender Series. With contracts in hand, we should see some more aggressiveness.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Wu Yanan (+205) vs. Nicco Montano (-240); Total: 2.5 (-300/240)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Wu Yanan came to the UFC with quite a pedigree and a lot of promise. She also had a record of 10-2. She has lost three of her four UFC fights and was badly outclassed by Joselyne Edwards last time out. She’ll try her luck with Nicco Montano here. Montano has not been able to stay healthy. The TUF 26 winner has only fought once since that December 1, 2017 match. It was a loss to Julianna Pena.</p>



<p>This is a big price to put on Montano, who has been suspended for a banned substance, hospitalized after a weight cut, injured, and has had travel issues. It has been a litany of things for Montano. As much as Yanan has struggled, how could you lay the -240 here with the odyssey that has been Montano’s UFC career?</p>



<h3><strong><u>Jason Witt (+235) vs. Bryan Barberena (-275); Total: 2.5 (140/-170)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Jason Witt will try to climb to even in his UFC career with the opener on the main card against Bryan Barberena. Witt is 1-2 after losses to Takashi Sato and Marcus Semelsberger. His lone win came back on Halloween over Cole Williams. The 34-year-old Witt is on the last fight of his contract and his two losses have been by knockout in 66 combined seconds.</p>



<p>He’ll need to show something here as a big underdog to Barberena. Barberena has not faired well recently either, as he is just 2-3 in his last five fights and beat a nobody in late replacement Anthony Ivy last time out. It took him the full three minutes to do it as well. Neither one of these guys seems to be worthy of your money, but Barberena is the pick.</p>



<h4><strong>Pick: Bryan Barberena</strong></h4>



<h3><strong><u>Zarrukh Adashev (+118) vs. Ryan Benoit (-138); Total: 2.5 (-200/160)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Zarrukh Adashev is 0-2 in UFC after losses to Tyson Nam and Su Mudaerji. The 28-year-old native of Uzbekistan takes on Ryan Benoit here in search of his first UFC victory. The line is pretty close, as Benoit was originally supposed to fight Adashev back at UFC 262, but Benoit had major issues with the weight cut and was taken off the card.</p>



<p>He even came in three pounds overweight for that fight. Benoit had lost two in a row and three of four prior to that bout getting canceled. Now he hasn’t fought in over a year. The health and state of Benoit seems to be a major question with a similar weight cut here. Adashev hasn’t been great in the UFC, but he has to be the pick here.</p>



<h4><strong>Pick: Zarrukh Adashev</strong></h4>



<h3><strong><u>Niklas Stolze (+170) vs. Jared Gooden (-200)</u></strong></h3>



<p>A late switcheroo gave us this fight, as Mounir Lazzez could not secure a visa to fight Niklas Stolze. It will be Jared Gooden that takes the fight on short notice and serves as the favorite. Stolze lost his UFC debut to Ramazan Emeev just over a year ago. Gooden comes in having lost both of his UFC fights. This seems like a pretty optimistic line for a guy that has not fought good competition throughout his career.</p>



<p>Gooden has lost to Alan Jouban and Abubakar Nurmagomedov. Stolze isn’t exactly experienced at the top levels either. There is no major size advantage. There is only one combined stoppage loss between the two. It is hard to see an edge in this fight, other than to say that Stolze was at least preparing for one.</p>



<h4><strong>Pick: Niklas Stolze</strong></h4>



<h3><strong><u>Gloria de Paula (+155) vs. Cheyanne Buys (-180); Total: 2.5 (-350/275)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Gloria de Paula lost to Jinh Yu Frey back in March in her first contract fight. It was her third career unanimous decision loss. With this one looking to go to a decision, impressing the judges will be important. Cheyanne Buys has gone 4-2 in her decision matchups, with her most recent result a loss to Montserrat Conejo. That was her first contract fight as well.</p>



<p>These two 26-year-olds have a big opportunity here. Buys, who at least had a stop in LFA, seems to have fought better competition on her way up. Neither fighter was aggressive in those recent losses. As crazy as this line is, it looks like the over 2.5 at -350 is the play here. Parlay it with Rafa Garcia on the undercard to cut down the vig a bit.</p>



<h4><strong>Pick: Over 2.5</strong></h4>



<h3><strong><u>Rani Yahya (+109) vs. Kyung Ho Kang (-129); Total: 2.5 (-140/110)</u></strong></h3>



<p>You probably can’t go wrong with trying Rani Yahya by submission in this fight. Yahya is 27-10-1 in his career and has 21 wins by submission. He has never recorded a knockout and probably won’t start now. Submission is the preferred method of victory for both guys, as Kyung Ho Kang has 11 wins by sub in his career out of 17 victories.</p>



<p>We haven’t seen Kang since December 21, 2019 when he beat Liu Pingyuan for his second straight split-decision triumph. Yahya has fought twice since with a win and a draw. For all of the submission wins that these two have accumulated, they’ve each only lost by submission once. That has to bring the over 2.5 into play.</p>



<h4><strong>Pick: Over 2.5</strong></h4>



<h3><strong><u>Uriah Hall (+183) vs. Sean Strickland (-213); Total: 3.5 (-115/-115)</u></strong></h3>



<p>The resurgence of Uriah Hall may come to an end here against Sean Strickland. At least that’s what the odds say. Hall has won four in a row, though his most recent fight will be remembered more for the devastating knee injury suffered by Chris Weidman. We don’t know what would have happened the rest of the way, but Hall had won his three previous fights as well.</p>



<p>Sean Strickland, who checks in at 23-3 here, rides his own four-fight winning streak into this bout. The 30-year-old Strickland has a few years on the 36-year-old Hall, who is coming back in four months from that Weidman fight. He can do that because of the circumstances, but this is the first time since 2018 that Hall has fought twice in a year.</p>



<p>Strickland went the full 15 with Krzysztof Jotko on May 1 and won that fight by unanimous decision. This is his fight to lose, especially with the championship rounds in play.</p>
