consistently that aren’t subscribed so you should probably do that and uh the podcast listens as well uh we need more subscribers on there so take advantage of uh the ease of modern podcasting software and hit subscribe all right let’s get into it i got to say today you know I I at the beginning of this week I talked about the um I talked about the need for uh you know some more sports to get into on a daily basis or weekly basis with uh NNBA and NHL wrapping up nba obviously could be done after this evening uh NHL is already done shout out to the Panthers that was a dominant performance a couple days ago but uh yeah so I have been doing WNBA i’m one on one and one on the year in WNBA uh and I added PGA today as well so we got something to sweat all weekend long so let’s get into it here though we’ll start with MLB like we always do this is what we’re most comfortable doing and also I’ll say yesterday the weather was an absolute terror i had seven entries get cancelled yesterday so uh yeah hopefully the weather cooperates a little bit better today in Major League Baseball but MLB entry number one starting bright and early about noon Eastern uh Byron Buckton higher than nine and a half fantasy points against the Reds byron Buckton against Nick Martinez i really like this matchup bucks big Bucks is one of our favorite players on this show uh just a really underrated player if he had his health his whole career man he’d probably be a Hall of Famer uh so Byron Bucks higher than nine and a half fantasy points obviously home run gets it done but he’s also a guy who can score a lot get a lot of RBI’s steal bases can help us in many many ways even if he isn’t getting hits that’s important if he gets walked and gets a steal we are right on track so uh you know we can make things happen with higher than nine and a half fantasy points by Buckston against Nick Martinez then we have Paul Goldmid higher than eight and a half fantasy points he went 0 for yesterday he gets Tyler Anderson here today he’s hit Tyler Anderson well in the past uh and also I don’t expect Goldie to uh be a you know multi-game slump here when it’s going to be beautiful hitting weather at Yankee Stadium tyler Anderson I think is an underrated pitcher but I don’t I still think Goldie is going to have higher than eight and a half fantasy points here that’s a 3x multiplier with fantasy points over Byron Buckston and Paul Goldmid mlb entry number two we’re going Hunter Goodman higher than one and a half total bases it’s going to be beautiful hitting weather in National or at Nationals Park at least that is what uh the early reports say uh Goodman is just straight good he had the day off yesterday so let’s get back in the grind goodman higher than one half higher than one and a half total bases here pairing that with Vladimir Guerrero Jr higher than 0.5 RBI’s in this pretty eventful series we’ve seen with the uh Dbacks taking on the Blue Jays up there in Toronto vlatty I think he’s going to get an RBI here so 3.9x on that one nice multiplier mlb entry number three we are going to go with Cory Seager higher than seven and a half fantasy points against the Royals and Michael Walka again another guy he’s seen plenty seager is another one of those guys who can get the sack flies he can get RBI’s without or he can get fantasy points without hits um you know I he gets plenty of hits but some people it’s like you know if they’re batting late in the order if they don’t get you know a couple hits or if they don’t get driven in uh they’re not going to get their fantasy points seager is a guy that knows how to have good played approaches and find a way to get on base get fantasy points with the walks get fantasy points with ARB sack flies and everything else so give me Cory Seager higher than seven and a half fantasy points and then Trey Turner higher than one and a half total bases against Edward Cabrera uh I think Trey has uh unlocked something in the last couple days i think he’s been playing very well i think that streak continues down in Miami 3.18x multiplier on that one mlb entry number four Jung Holi higher than six and a half fantasy points i actually don’t understand why it’s so low uh against Gavin Williams gavin Williams you know it’s a allegedly going to be a tough hitting environment in San Francisco but Jung Holi isn’t a guy who relies on the ball going out of the park i like Jung Holi here obviously he can steal bases as well you like to see that when you’re playing fantasy points over uh and pair that with Francisco Lindor higher than one half hits runs and RBI’s lindor not a great day yesterday against Sale uh Strider fake ace he got back on track but it was against the Rockies last game it’s going to be a different animal with Francisco Lindor playing that leadoff spot so 3x multiplier on Jung-ho Lee higher than six and a half fantasy points francisco Lindor higher than one and a half hits runs and RBI’s let’s get into these pitcher entries chris Paddock plus Nick Martinez higher than 0.5 first inning runs allowed first game of the day yes run first inning with these two pitchers that I would call midminus mid minus they’re not good uh there’s good power in the top of these lineups there could it’s good hitting weather for the ball getting over the fence so I really like this one to get a first inning run allowed probably a homer but hey there’s more than one way to skin a cat then I’m gonna take Chase Dylinder and Trevor Williams in that Colorado against uh Nationals game higher than 0.5 first inning runs allowed because I think that again both these lineups have some pop at the top and I don’t think these pitchers are really the type of guys that are going to be locking it down long yesterday the game went what like five innings between these two teams without a run scored but I think that the delay really threw off just the flow of that one so 3x multiplier on this one pitchers entry number two Christopher Sanchez and Edward Cabrera lower than 0.5 first inning runs allowed sanchez I think is pretty underrated lefty uh the lefties I’d keep some of these uh some of these bats out of the order for the Marlins they have a lot of righties they do but uh you know I Jesus Sanchez he’s a dog uh and he is not probably going to start against a lefty and then I’m going to He’s with uh Edward Cabrera again Edward Cabrera is good in short spurts but by the time he gets to the fourth inning he’s in trouble i think he get out of the first though then I’m pick Williams Logan Webb higher than 0.5 first inning runs allowed we want contrary in here and getting a nice multiplier uh Webb has been amazing he’s not going to be amazing every inning every first inning and Gavin Williams is very overrated in my opinion so 3.02x multiplier on that one all right let’s talk about the NBA Finals this potentially is the last game of this NBA year NBA season whatever you want to say yesterday I gave out Miles Turner higher than 13 and a half points chad Homegrrim lower than 15 and a half points i am going to stick with that here the nothing has changed same multiplier 3x just a flat one uh I think Turner has a step up with Hallebertton being injured uh and I think homegrren lower than 15 and a half points i think that you know he had an outlier game where he crushed this number but I don’t think that’s going to be a thing here uh Jay Jay Will and Shay and Shay Shay Gild Alexander are doing enough for this team uh I don’t think they need Chad to have a big game offensively 3x multiplier on that one the second NBA entry the one added for today is Tyresce Hallebertton lower than 13 and a half points he’s listed as having a strained calf in a game time decision he’s going to probably try to go it’s NBA Finals elimination game strained calf is not a an injury that you just recover from in two days i think that if he plays he’s going to get hurt again and go out or he’s going to be very very limited so lower than 13 and a half points for Tyresce Hallebertton taking a little shot with there because if all of a sudden he does have you know maybe the strength cap was exaggerated and it’s all mind games uh and maybe he’ll crush this number but I don’t think so it didn’t look like it uh and then Shay Gilch Alexander higher than nine and a half three free throws made three of the games in the series so far three out of five games he’s had higher than nine and a half free throws he uh he gets to the line double digits every single game so higher than nine and a half free throws made 3.39x multiplier wnb entry number one going back to some of our favorites caitlin Clark higher than three and a half three-pointers made especially after that controversial game last time out uh she is going to be wanting to prove a send a message here then I’m going to take Sabrina Inescu higher than 19 and a half points she’s had 34 points in her last two games she’s had 24 34 34 in her last three games riding the hot hand 3.36x multiplier on that one tennis entry number one Yannik Center lower than 9 and a half games lost against Alexander Bubble bubbleck is good on grass but Yannik is a different animal riley Opelka lower than 0.5 sets lost he is a souped-up version than his souped-up version of his opponent uh who is uh Arthur Renderneck here i don’t think Renneck has what it takes to take out Big Riley so 4.29x 29x tennis number two Amanda Anisimova lower than 0.5 sets lost i really like how she’s been playing on grass i think that she’s going to roll through this one clara Talsson lower than 0.5 sets lost again I think that her serve is such a weapon on grass she should roll through as well that’s a 3.27x multiplier all right we did a golf entry today first one ever on this show I think um I looked at von.com/golf read Wes Reynolds article uh to get get acquainted with how things are rolling at the Travelers just one entry here it’s go it’s for the full tournament so we got to lock in uh reading Wes’s article you know it’s not really sexy to say “Oh Scotty Sheffller is going to win.” But in basically every stat that matters for golf handicappers Scotty Sheffller is on the leaderboard i’m taking him turnney finishing position better than five and a half so he’s got to be finished top five i think he can definitely do that he can win this tournament and then a longer shot Tom Hoge he popped in some important metrics on Wes’s model uh I actually like I I actually liked you know the odds we’re getting here for him to be top 20 so finishing position better than 20 and a half sheffller top five tom Hoge top 20 for 3.46x multiplier combo entry number one this is the longa this is the lotto as we say the lotto or the combo um we’re going to go with Miles Turner higher than one and a half three-pointers made we know that Miles Turner needs to take three-pointers here with M uh with Hallebertton being banged up sean Burke higher than three and a half earned runs allowed in the first game of this double header with the White Socks and the uh and the uh Cardinals cardinals should hit Burke well jacob Wilson higher than one and a half runs scored uh I don’t think that the the pitching is going to be that good in for the for the uh for the Astros here uh and I think that the weather is going to allow Wilson to get on base and to score some runs so 34.39x multiplier 17.19x if it goes 33 on the flex 5.51 if it goes two out of three on the flex not bad at all dong squad number one Austin Wells higher than 0.5 home runs james Wood higher than 0.5 home runs spencer Tolson higher than 0.5 home runs 58.94x or 29.47x if it goes three for three on the flex 4.88x if it goes two out of three on the flex dong squad number two Paul Goldmid higher than 0.5 home runs jordan Beck higher than 0.5 home runs tasks Hernandez higher than 0.5 home runs 66.9x flex it 33.45 if it goes three for three 5.31 if it goes two out of three let’s hit a dong squad today all right that’s all I got for you today good luck on your bets let’s make some money
