“[51:30] I'm going to go with an under parlay on the two preseason games tonight. [51:37] Raiders-Texans is down to 38 now. [51:41] If you can get it at 38.5, take the under. [51:44] Niners-Chargers, also 38.5. [51:46] we parlay the two unders we get like plus 260 i think it is at bet mgm”

“[51:55] baseball bets how about this i saw this pop up on my feed just a couple minutes ago cardinals play [52:01] the reds this afternoon get started in less than an hour and brady singer is getting the start for [52:09] the reds you say chris i have no interest in this game how about this though brady singer [52:15] As a dog at home in day games, the Reds have gone 16-0, 16 in a row in the last 16 such starts with Brady Singer on the mound. [52:33] I think that calls for the Reds on the money line at minus 105 at BetMGM. [52:41] Sometimes it's a trend. [52:43] Sometimes it's a trap. [52:45] I'm going to ride the trend this time.”
CIN 9, STL 10 — Cincinnati Reds lost; moneyline busts.
“[52:47] And also, Royals on the run line, looking for a sweep of the A's this afternoon. [52:53] Randy Dobnik on the mound. [52:55] The A's bullpen has collapsed in this series. [52:58] Royals are 5-1 against the spread in Dobnik's last six starts. [53:03] This will be his first time as a favorite, though. [53:05] Something to keep in mind, but I'll bet the Royals on the run line, [53:08] laying the run and a half at plus 145.”
KC 6, ATH 2 — Kansas City Royals margin +4 vs line -1.5; covers.
“[46:36] I'll tell you what I am going to bet on. It's tomorrow night. Football. I don't care if it's [46:42] preseason football. I don't care if it's the Cardinals and the Panthers. I don't care if it's [46:47] the Hall of Fame game. Did they ever fix the terrible turf there in Canton? I think they did [46:51] a couple years ago. I don't care if it's Kenny Pickett against Carson Beck. In fact, I should [46:58] Take that back. [46:59] I do care that it's Kenny Pickett against Carson Beck because I'm betting the Cardinals. [47:04] Plus 105, I think it is, at BetMGM. [47:07] No, minus 105. [47:08] Apologies. [47:09] Whatever. [47:10] It's about an even money bet on the money line. [47:14] Arizona against Carolina tomorrow in the Hall of Fame game because I am more confident in Carson Beck than I think anyone else in the world without the last name Beck.”
ARI 30, CAR 33 — Arizona Cardinals lost; moneyline busts.

“it's going to be Pulisic who's almost 2-1 at BetMGM to score a goal tonight. Plus 195. That's going to be my bet for tonight. For USA Belgium. That's what I'm going with. You can choose to tail that. You can choose to fade it. You can go with somebody else. But that's the direction I will be going in.”

3-2 — Lionel Messi scored one goal (29th minute) as Argentina beat Cape Verde 3-2 in extra time on July 3, 2026, falling short of the two-or-more-goals prop. (Lionel Messi: 1 goal)
“I do have a bet. I guess a couple. You could parlay them for a decent number that I really like tonight. It's baseball, though. Jacob Mizorowski has been, I mean, breaking radar guns the way he's been throwing for the last two months. Back on the mound tonight against Cincinnati. The Reds strike out at a greater rate than any other team in baseball. While Mizorowski's been averaging nine and a half strikeouts per start over his last 10 starts. Over nine and a half strikeouts is plus money at BetMGM.”

“Braxton Ashcraft has been their best starter so far this year, and he's going in Philly tonight against the Phils lineup that is just mashing lately. Ashcraft, for what it's worth, 17 strikeouts in his last two starts over 12 innings. So with a K prop lined at five and a half, the over is a good look in my opinion.”
PIT 11, PHI 7 — Braxton Ashcraft struck out 8 over 6.0 IP as the Pirates beat the Phillies 11-7; over 5.5 strikeouts won (ESPN box score). (Braxton Ashcraft: 8 strikeouts)

And he's plus money to go under one and a half earned runs tonight as well. So that's where I'll be at BetMGM. Schlittler under one and a half earned runs. That's my bet for the day at BetMGM.”

“Douse it in kerosene early on and then just flick a match and watch the scoreboard burn because Texas and Georgia, maybe the two best offensive teams in this tournament, left in this tournament, the total is posted at 14.5.

“Speaking of which, get inside the BetMGM app for tonight's Game 2 of the NBA Finals. You'll receive an NBA Final Odds Boost token. to use that token, add a wager made up of NBA final bets to your bet slip and activate the token. You win your wager, you receive extra winnings in unrestricted bonus dollars. And I told you, the Knicks haven't lost a game in which Jalen Brunson played by more than a single point since March. They've been this big a dog. They are six and a half point underdogs tonight in San Antonio. just twice since January. One was a road game at OKC when they were eight-point dogs. One was the season finale against the Charlotte Hornets when the Knicks didn't play anybody. They're six-and-a-half-point dogs. And look, it's entirely possible that Wemby could actually play with some aggression tonight, or maybe Greg Popovich pulled the Spurs aside for another one of his marathon film sessions to try and fix everything. But even if those things come together and happen and the Spurs win game two, are you willing to bet on the Knicks postseason winning streak ending without them at least having a shot at some late game heroics? I'm not. So I'm on the Knicks plus six and a half tonight. Maybe use that NBA final odds boost token inside the BetMGM app as well.”
105-104 — Knicks beat Spurs 105-104 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, so New York covered as 6.5-point underdogs (ESPN box score).
“Hurricanes, Canadians. Game five tonight in Montreal. A chance for Carolina to close out Montreal at home. I'm all over the puck line. Yeah, I'll lay one and a half because I think Carolina is going to smother the Canadians' offense again. They have two periods in this series where they have double-digit shots. The rest of them, their shot on goal totals read like a phone number, 8-6-7-5-3-0-9-9. It's terrible. Montreal, Montreal has not been able to generate any offense. I'll take Carolina plus 105 at BetMGM on the puck line to close out the Eastern Conference finals and advance to the Stanley Cup final against Vegas whenever that thing has been scheduled for.”
CAR 6, MTL 1 — Carolina Hurricanes beat Montreal Canadiens 6-1 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final, covering -1.5 and closing out the series (ESPN box score).
“It's Scottie Scheffler. This is a Scottie Scheffler weekend I bet it last weekend Looking ahead to this thing And I will stand firm Until Scotty firmly takes the lead And takes over in this thing Because it's going to happen at some point this weekend”
Aaron Rai won the 2026 PGA Championship; Scottie Scheffler did not win, so the futures bet lost (ESPN leaderboard).

SA 139, MIN 109 — Anthony Edwards scored 24 points in the Spurs' 139-109 Game 6 win over the Timberwolves, under his 29.5 point line (ESPN box score). (Anthony Edwards 24 pts)
“I don't have any baseball bets or specific home run bets, but I will say I am on the T-Wolves plus the four and a half. Maybe I'm proven wrong, but I'm going to pay to see that the Spurs can roll Minnesota for a second game in a row, that the Timberwolves are going to look as lifeless and listless for a second game in a row as they did in game two. And I'm going to bet that I'm not saying they win, but I think we're going to get a much better game in game two. I think we get a classic in fact between the Spurs and the T-Wolves tonight and that it goes right down to the wire. And maybe Minnesota even steals game three at home. And that would set us on a path towards, I think, a seven-game epic. A seven-game episodic legend that just grows game by game. The other side of the coin, which I'm not saying is impossible, is that the Timberwolves lay another egg tonight, the Spurs go up 2-1, and it's all downhill from here and over in five. But I don't think that's the case. Timberwolves getting four and a half at BetMGM today.”
SA 115, MIN 108 — Spurs beat Timberwolves 115-108 in Game 3; Minnesota lost by 7, missing the +4.5 cover (ESPN box score).
“His points prop at BetMGM is 22 and a half. He's gone over that mark three times in five games in this series. And down the stretch, when geezers like him are supposed to be in rocking chairs, just coasting to the finish line, He averaged 23 a game, picking up some Luka and Austin Reeves slack because they were both hurt. Sure, but he's still doing that, even with Reeves back in the lineup. So if you don want to just take L plus the three and a half if you looking for another angle on Lakers Rockets tonight you could do worse than LeBron over 22 in my opinion That what I be on tonight at BetMGM”
98-78 — LeBron James scored 28 points as the Lakers eliminated the Rockets 98-78 in Game 6 on May 1, 2026, covering his over 22.5 points prop (ESPN box score). (LeBron James: 28 points)
“Skeens over 17.5 outs is what I will be on. It's a little juicy, but it's worth the squeeze, I think. I would even look, if you want to, at at least 6Ks. If you want to bet that as well, he's got at least that many in each of his starts of six innings or more this year as well. So that's where I'll be inside the BetMGM app.”
10-5 — Paul Skenes pitched 5.0 innings (15 outs) with 7 hits, 5 runs, 3 earned runs and 9 strikeouts in the Pirates' 10-5 loss to the Cardinals on April 30, 2026; his over 17.5 pitching outs prop lost (ESPN box score). (Paul Skenes: 5.0 IP (15 outs), 7 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 9 K)
“Payton Pritchard, three plus threes tonight, is a little better than even money at BetMGM, plus 105. He's 11 of 22 from three in the last two games combined. Payton Pritchard. And if you're the Sixers, what are you going to do to slow Pritchard down? Are you going to take some of the focus off Tatum or Brown? Understanding he comes on the floor while one of those two, if not both sometimes, is off the floor. But you're not going to sell out to stop Payton Pritchard, I don't think. And even if you do, So the guy's just been lights out, 50% from three in the last two games. So Payton Pritchard, three plus threes tonight. Like I said, plus 105 at BetMGM. I'll be riding with that one.”
113-97 — Payton Pritchard made just 1 of 5 three-pointers as the 76ers beat the Celtics 113-97 in Game 5 on April 28, 2026; his 3+ made threes prop lost (ESPN box score). (Payton Pritchard: 1-for-5 on threes)
“so I'm going to take Detroit to lock down on defense as they did in game two even the series up and send it back to game five in Detroit even up at two games apiece Detroit laying just two and a half at Orlando tonight so I'll take the Pistons and lay the two and a half”
ORL 94, DET 88 — Magic beat the Pistons 94-88 in Game 4 on April 27, 2026, a 6-point loss that failed to cover Detroit's -2.5 spread (ESPN box score).
“It's seven and a half, and it's almost three to one to take Arkansas to upset Arizona outright. I'm not going that far. I know Arizona's deep. You don't need to show me what they did to LIU and Utah State. I know Arizona is good, but there's a certain, we'll talk about soft spots I have. I have a giant soft spot for John Calipari. We can get into that in about an hour. But I also just think the ability of Darius Acuff Jr. to take over a game in the biggest moments leaves me wondering how Arizona pulls away in this one and covers seven and a half. So I am definitely, Tyler, on Arkansas plus the seven and a half, even if I'm not willing to go all the way to the money line.”
ARIZ 109, ARK 88 — Arizona routed Arkansas 109-88 in the Sweet 16, a 21-point margin; Arkansas +7.5 did not cover (ESPN box score).
“speaking of bets i mentioned this one earlier one i got in earlier this morning and it's gone up a point since i got in on the over at 157 and a half it's now 158 and a half i'm all over the over in texas and nc state tonight in the second half of the double header in Dayton as a part of the first four.”
Texas 68-66 NC State — Texas beat NC State 68-66 in the First Four, a combined 134 points, under the 157.5 total (ESPN).
“And 15.5 There you go. It has moved since then. Would help if you looked at the screen while you talked, Chris. Give me the points. Cooper flagged. I think they'll give a chance to play on the second half of a back-to-back. Maybe not because, you know, young future cornerstone of the franchise, all that. You don't want to risk any further injury. But he's back. He's fresh. Kids from Maine. So this is kind of a New England homecoming for him. And who knows what we're going to get from Tatum. So I would take the 15 and a half.”
BOS 120-100 DAL — Celtics beat Mavericks 120-100, a 20-point margin that busts Dallas's +15.5 spread (ESPN).
“The line right now, at least as I saw it this morning, Iowa State laying 3.5 against BYU I'm more than comfortable laying that”
BYU 79, Iowa State 69 — BYU beat Iowa State 79-69 outright, so Iowa State -3.5 busts (ESPN box score).

The 2026 NBA Finals matched the San Antonio Spurs against the New York Knicks, not the Detroit Pistons, so the Pistons-to-face-Spurs futures pick busts (NBA.com).

“I don't think I'd bet a side on this game. The total, though, at 40.5, I'm going under. You saw the Patriots with three field goals before they finally punched one in late against the Chargers. And you saw the Texans with just two offensive touchdowns last night. So between the two of them, they scored three touchdowns in their wildcard game. I don't think we get to 40. So that would be my bet on this game.”
28-16 — Patriots beat Texans 28-16 in the AFC Divisional Round, a combined 44 points, so the under 40.5 total lost (ESPN final score).
