Pitchers and catchers will report to their spring training sites next month to begin preparations for the new MLB season. Some of those pitchers will be wearing a different uniform this year in an effort to help their new team win the 2020 World Series.
At the top of the list is Gerrit Cole. He was the biggest free agent acquisition during the offseason; going from the Houston Astros to the New York Yankees. This not only shifted the entire balance of power in the American League, it altered the win total outlook for each team.
Many of the top online sportsbooks have released their betting odds for the projected win total of all 30 MLB teams. As part of my weekly MLB coverage for the popular sports betting site Scores & Stats, I have put together a few of my personal "best bets" to cash a winning ticket.

Betting On Beast Mode in NFL Week 17 Props
Each and every week of the NFL season I come up with a few 'best bet' prop picks for the popular sports betting website Sports Betting Stats. Since there are so many plot lines headed into this Sunday's final round of regular season games, the list of available betting options was longer than usual.
After digging deep into the stats, facts and betting trends for the NFL this season, I came up with two strong prop plays as well as a bonus prop bet option for running back Marshawn Lynch.
Lynch is back with is old team, the Seattle Seahawks. They will play host to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night with the NFC West Division title on the line. America's Bookie online sportsbooks has Seattle listed as a 3.5-point home underdog. The total line for this game is set at 46 points.

Army Comes In as a Live Dog Against The Midshipmen
My last two underdog picks for Scores & Stats cashed in with straight-up wins. This week I am going with Army plus the 10.5 points at America's Bookie in their annual showdown against Navy in Philadelphia this Saturday afternoon. The No. 23 Midshipmen have already won nine of their first 12 games with their only setbacks coming against No. 17 Memphis and No. 15 Notre Dame. Army has battled its way to a 5-7 record both SU and against the spread.
Emotions run high in this heated rivalry and that is one of the biggest reasons why I am taking the Black Knights to cover. I do see Navy winning this game SU as the better all-around team but I really like Army's chances to keep things closer than the current 10.5-point spread. The last three meetings (all won by Army) have been decided by a combined 12 points.

Take The Ducks and The Points in Friday Night's Pac-12 Championship
Every week I come up with my top underdog play for the popular sports betting website Scores & Stats. With this weekend's betting action dominated by the 10 college football conference championship games, I knew that this was a great starting point for this week's search.
Clemson is a huge favorite against Virginia in the ACC for good reason. Ohio State is the top team in the nation and a two-touchdown plus favorite against Wisconsin in the Big Ten. This is not the week to start betting against the Tigers or Buckeyes at 12-0 straight-up and 9-3 against the spread.
I have LSU beating Georgia SU and ATS as a seven-point favorite in the SEC and Oklahoma should complete the season sweep against Baylor while covering the nine-point spread. That left the Pac-12 when it comes to the title games in the five major conferences. The idea of betting against a team which is 8-0 SU and ATS in its last eight games goes against conventional wisdom. However, I think the Oregon Ducks as 6.5-point underdogs are going to end the Utah Utes' current winning streak with the only SU upset among the majors this weekend.

Betting On The Lions to Cover in Columbus
Every week I release my top underdog play for the popular sports betting site Scores & Stats. I have had a good run of success in my college football picks this season, so I decided to focus my attention on Saturday's Big Ten showdown between Penn State and Ohio State in Columbus. Both teams are ranked in the College Football Playoff Top 10 with the Lions at No. 8 and the Buckeyes holding down the No. 2 spot. However, the Oddsmakers see a much wider spread between the two Big Ten East Division rivals. Ohio State is currently favored by 18.5 points at America's Bookie online sportsbook.
This is a great opportunity for the 10-0 Buckeyes to cement their spot as one of the best teams in the nation. It is also a chance for 9-1 Penn State to get back into the college football playoff picture following an earlier loss to Minnesota. While it is hard to see the Lions pulling off the straight-up upset on the road, recent history between the two rivals suggest that this game will stay much closer then the betting line at America's Bookie suggests.

Betting NASCAR's Cup Series Championship
The long extended NASCAR Cup Series schedule that began with the Daytona 500 ends this Sunday with the running of the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The final race of the year will determine this year's overall racing champion. The top four drivers in the Cup Series standings will square off against one another for one last run around the track.
Over the past five years, the racing champion also won this race. In those five races, a different driver has walked away with the racing title. Kevin Harvick claimed his only career Cup Series title with the victory in the 2014 race at Homestead-Miami. Kyle Busch won the championship the following season with Jimmie Johnson adding a seventh racing title to his Hall of Fame racing career in 2016. Martin Truex Jr. won the championship race in 2017 and Joey Logano bested the four-driver field last year.
Harvick, Busch and Truex have worked their way into this year's championship field along with Denny Hamlin, who is in position to win his first career Cup Series title. Hamlin started this season with a victory in the Daytona 500 as the first of six Cup Series wins this year. How fitting would it be if the No. 11 Toyota can end the season with a championship trip down Victory Lane.
