A crazy busy weekend in sports betting is over, but the week ahead offers just as much excitement with several sports going at once.
Major League Baseball
Major League Baseball enters its second week of exhibition games.
So far, all the training camps have gone without significant COVID-related incidents. Today, 9 games will take place out on the diamond. These pre-season games tend to be unpredictable to bet on, especially with some new rules in effect, but there's action available if you're into baseball wagering.

NBA Odds and Notes
NBA teams get the night off following a strange All-Star weekend in Atlanta without any spectators – or defense. One of the pick-up teams beat the other pick-up team 170-150 in an embarassment of basketball fundamentals that might as well have been a track meet for cheap easy shots, but hey at least the horror is now over.
The second half of the 2020-21 regular season starts Wednesday. Here are some interesting recent trends for those who want to start capping games early:
