Monday was a relatively slow sports betting day after an action-packed weekend with just 6 MLB games, but we did have the College World Series decided, though LSU’s title-clinching victory was anti-climactic.

Let’s get to the details in our betting recaps that we post every night on Twitter @ViewFromVegas, and also the season-long betting stats in MLB, plus USFL with its championship game coming up on Saturday.
