UFC on ABC 9: Petr Yan vs. Marcus McGhee odds, picks and predictions
In a 3-round bantamweight bout on the main card, Petr Yan and Marcus McGhee meet Saturday at UFC on ABC 9 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The prelims begin at noon ET (ESPN / ESPN+), and the main card at 3 p.m. (ABC / ESPN+). Their fight is expected to start at approximately 4:45 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's UFC odds around the UFC on ABC 9: Yan vs. McGhee odds, and make our expert UFC picks and predictions. Records: Yan (18-5-0) | McGhee (10-1-0) Yan halted a 3-bout losing skid with a pair of unanimous-decision wins against Song Yadong (May 9, 2024) and Deiveson Figueiredo (Nov. 23, 2024). Since successfully defending his championship belt at UFC 267 (Oct. 30, 2021) against Cory Sandhagen, he suffered a split-decision loss to Aljamain Sterling at UFC 273 (April 9, 2022) that sent him into the 3-bout tailspin -- which included decision losses to Sean O'Malley (Oct. 22, 2022) and to Merab Dvalishvili (March 11, 2023) The 35-year-old McGhee has won all 4 of his fights since making his UFC debut against Journey Newson in April 2023. He has KO/TKO victories against JP Buys (Aug. 12, 2023) and Gaston Bolanos (Jan. 13, 2024), but he hasn't exactly fought the cream of the crop in the division. Facing the former division champ Yan is a major step up in competition. McGhee enters with a 2-inch reach advantage, while posting a 6.06-to-5.11 advantage in significant strikes landed per minute. Yan is much more accurate on those strikes at 60.30%, while McGhee checks in at just 49.41%, per Yan has a 1.61 takedown average, to just 0.46 for McGhee. Yan is accurate on those takedowns, too, posting a 49.06% mark. Watch this card with ESPN+ by signing up here. UFC on ABC 9: Yan vs. McGhee odds Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 7:51 p.m. ET. UFC on ABC 9: Yan vs. McGhee picks and predictions Fight result (2-way line or moneyline) Yan (-350) will cost 3½ times the potential return, which is too much risk for not enough reward. There is never a reason to justify spending so much for such a little return. Let's get a little more specific. Yan has had a penchant for dragging fights out, and doing the technical aspects well, wowing the judges into awarding points and winning rounds. In fact, Yan's past 6 fights have gone the distance, albeit against much, much stronger competition. McGhee could be in above his head against the former champ as he faces a major step up in competition. However, he went the distance in a unanimous decision victory vs. Jonathan Martinez last time out at UFC 309 (Nov. 16, 2024), so, he knows how to hang around. As such, let's roll with YAN BY DECISION/TECHNICAL DECISION (-185) for a much better value, although still slightly on the pricey side. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now! Over/Under Yes (-300): "Fight will go the distance" will cost 3 times the potential return. There is no value there, risking so much for such a small return. If you were to toss this into a multi-leg parlay, that would be the only way to justify playing such a heavy favorite line. Again, Yan is good at wowing the judges and scoring points based on certain technical aspects. He is impressive on takedowns, too, and betting YAN: OVER 1.5 TOTAL TAKEDOWNS (-145) is a particularly attractive prop to target. Visit MMA Junkie for more fight news and analysis.

Los Angeles Angels at New York Mets odds, picks and predictions
The Los Angeles Angels (49-51) and New York Mets (57-44) play the second game of their 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Citi Field in Flushing, New York, is set for 7:10 p.m. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's MLB odds around the Angels vs. Mets odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets. Season series: Mets lead 1-0 The Mets topped the Angels 7-5 Monday night, cashing as a -165 home favorite with the Over (8.5) hitting. Despite recording just 6 hits, New York made them count. 3B Brett Baty delivered the big blow with a 2-run homer, while RF Juan Soto added a 2-run single. Angels SP Tyler Anderson was not sharp in the loss (6 IP, 4 ER, 4 H, 5 BB, 4 K, HR). LF Taylor Ward went 2-for-5 with 3 RBIs and a run scored. C Logan O'Hoppe added a solo home run and a stolen base and 2B Luis Rengifo chipped in with a 3-hit performance. Angels at Mets projected starters RHP Kyle Hendricks vs. RHP Frankie Montas Hendricks (5-6, 4.88 ERA) is making his 19th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 through 96 innings. Montas (2-1, 5.03 ERA) is making his fifth start. He has a 1.17 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 through 19 1/3 innings.

Angels at Mets odds Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:16 a.m. ET. Angels at Mets picks and predictions Mets 8, Angels 3 Moneyline PASS. I've got the Mets winning the second game of this series on Tuesday, but I'll take the better odds on the run line. Run line/Against the spread BET METS -1.5 (+115). There are plenty of reasons to back the Mets on Tuesday night. They've been dominant at Citi Field this season, boasting a 35-16 home record—second only to the Blue Jays (36 wins). That success is driven by elite pitching; the Mets hold a 3.59 ERA at home, fourth-best in MLB, and opponents are batting just .237 at Citi. SS Francisco Lindor thrives in front of the home crowd, batting .295 with 12 of his 19 home runs coming there. On the mound, Montas makes just his fifth start of the season, but he knows this Angels lineup well from his years with the A's. He looked sharp in his last outing, a road win in Kansas City. On the flip side, there's little to fear with Hendricks. He's a serviceable veteran, but his stuff isn't overpowering, and he's been inconsistent all season. This sets up perfectly for New York to take care of business. Expect the Mets to roll again Tuesday night. Over/Under BET OVER 9 (-120). The Over is a strong play Tuesday with the Angels involved. They've gone Over in 10 of their last 11 games, thanks to poor pitching—especially on the road, where they carry a 4.73 ERA. With Hendricks on the mound, expect the Mets to do most of the scoring themselves and push this total past the number. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!
