Jeļena Ostapenko to win Wimbledon (+700)
“Let me ask you about the women's side, because you said it's likely that we see, you know, maybe a new face in there or somebody that hasn't won it yet. Is there anybody that you're bullish on in their matchup or the draw that they have making it to the finals and possibly winning? Yeah, just double checking some of the odds here from our friends over at BetMGN. To no surprise, Elena Rybakina is the favorite here, plus 110. I think that makes a lot of sense. I would look a little further down the board. Somebody like Elena Ostapenko, which if you have never watched tennis, whether this bet wins or not, watch some Ostapenko. The value you will get watching her. She designs her own outfits. They're very interesting. She is someone who is very vocal, very emotive on the court. We'll look up a lot and talk to someone that's not there. She curses in very interesting ways. Super fun, someone that's playing great tennis and someone that does something in tennis we call redlining. It basically means peaking for an extended period of time. She is capable of doing that. She's been playing great tennis this week. She is 7-1 right now over at MGM. If you don't have any Ostapenko in your pocket already, grab some now. Let me ask you one more about Rabakina just because me, random, watches 20 days of tennis in a year probably over here.”

Donna Vekić and Emma Navarro moneyline parlay
- Donna Vekić moneyline
- Emma Navarro moneyline
“On the women's side, I've got a nice, boring parlay. I know you're never supposed to parlay stuff, but I show an edge. Not here, buddy. Give me the parlay. Yeah, give me the parlay. On a package, just minus 300. I make for minus 400. Emma Navarro's minus 200. I have it closer to 250. Put the two together. We're right at even odds. I'm going to hold my nose and hope that on the women's side, we can finally get a day where at least two of the favorites win but i think it's like if you”
Donna Vekić beat Lulu Sun 5-7, 6-4, 6-1, but Jasmine Paolini beat Emma Navarro 6-2, 6-1 in the Wimbledon 2024 quarterfinals, so the two-leg moneyline parlay lost (WTA Tennis). (Vekić def. Sun 5-7, 6-4, 6-1; Paolini def. Navarro 6-2, 6-1)
Karl-Anthony Towns under 19.5 points
“It's at 19 and a half, even some 20 and a half, a few different places depending on where you look. But go ahead, continue to take those points under again. As I mentioned, he's shooting very poorly, even with that 9 for 13 in game four still. between 30 and 35 percent, sub 30 percent from three point land and actually plays worse at home.”
124-103 — Dallas beat Minnesota 124-103 in Western Conference finals Game 5 on 2024-05-30, and Karl-Anthony Towns scored 28 points (9-for-20), clearing the 19.5-point under. (Towns: 28 points)
Jaylen Brown to win NBA Finals MVP (+550)
“One of my favorite ways to kind of bet these things is the NBA finals MVP. You can find yourself a little more value. I have been accruing little positions here. I'm surprised this number hasn't moved that much, given as well as he played in the Eastern Conference Finals. But Jaylen Brown at 5.5 to 1 to me is much too high. I have him a lot closer to Jason Tatum.”
Jaylen Brown won the 2024 NBA Finals MVP award, averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists for the champion Celtics. (2024 NBA Finals MVP: Jaylen Brown)

Tyrese Maxey to win Most Improved Player (+2000)
“I actually started betting that about a month, month and a half ago. And I know everybody hates to hear this, but basically he was able to find that it opened around 35 to one. I took it all the way down to 20 to one.”
Tyrese Maxey was named the 2023-24 NBA Most Improved Player, edging Coby White (NBA.com award announcement). (NBA Most Improved Player: Tyrese Maxey)
