Field (anyone except Shohei Ohtani) to win National League MVP (+180)
“Cody Decker and I on our show, Bet for the Cycle, which airs from noon to 4 on Saturdays here on the Beck UL Network, hashtag shameless self-promotion, said preseason, don't put money down on a DH to win the MVP. Don't do it. And yet here we are after 27 dingers with Shohei Otani, the odds-on favorite. Am I bananas for still telling people, Kobe, do not bet on a DH to win the MVP? Because I can't do it. Take the field. Take the field. It's plus money. You don't have to sweat about any other player. You get the whole field. You just got to worry about Shohei not being good enough because he's a DH to win MVP. I also like it for the AL too. It's just a great play. Plus money, it's so much. He's only hitting, and if he goes into a slump, it's not really going to be worth it. guys with gloves out there playing. I can't put my money on it. I'm sorry. At 180, I believe, is the odds for the field on some books. Take the field. You get everybody else except for the guy that only swings the bat. It's as simple as that.”

Wilyer Abreu to win American League Rookie of the Year (+450)
“I think he's coming back down to earth. I think he's actually human. Of course, he had such a hot start. His last three starts, he's given up four-plus runs, notably seven against the Orioles the other day. his his start was so hot now he's leveling out his era is 3.41 his whip of 1.13 i honestly like a brae over in uh boston sadly i'm talking about a boston guy as a yankees fan i think outside of his injury coming coming down from a step missing the step at the dugout and being out most of june i think he's a great player at plus 450 to get the real rookie of the year he's very consistent He plays every day. He's batting 270 with an OPS of 806. Six home runs, 22 RBIs. Nothing impressive, but he finished June batting 272 with six hits and two doubles. That's with missing majority of the month. I think he's a great play at 450.”

Philadelphia Phillies moneyline (-120)
“Zach Wheeler against Imanaga tonight. Philly minus 120, Chicago even money. I want to go Philly again with Wheeler on the bump. Do you think there is ever a return of Shoto Imanaga to what we had him doing back towards the beginning of the season? I don't like him. I don't like him in a rookie of the year. I don't like him anywhere. I think he's really, really shown that he's human. Like, there's rookies out there, like, honestly, Paul Skeens is not human. But Shota is showing that he's legitimate human. I don't think he has a good matchup tonight against the Phillies. Phillies, the whole game doesn't really have a good because Wheeler's on the bump. Honestly, I would 100% take Philly in this one. I'm looking on batters-box.com right now. The Phillies have the better matchup rating. The Cubs offense. Sorry, Cubs fans. It's gross. It's honestly gross. It's the Phillies.”

I loved him. He's gone 0 for 6 in his last two games. He's betting 303 with an OPS of 954. Has not gone three straight games without a hit. The value on the hit, minus 165, it is there.”

Baltimore Orioles to win American League East (+160)
“Honestly, what's the price set that you saw for them to win the AL East? Oh, I'll have to go look it back up. I mean, it was definitely plus money. I want to say last time I saw it, And I don't know if anybody in the back chat can pull that real quick. I think the last I saw it, it was sitting in a little over 2-1, which I don't think is – I mean, it's not the value I want, but it's not awful either. I've got it at plus 160 right now. I mean, it's not terrible. It's a division that is just two teams. It's the Yankees and the Orioles. I don't see – the Rays aren't good. The Red Sox aren't good. It's the Blue Jays or the Blue Jays. I'm not even going to talk about that team. They're not good at all. It's really two teams. So you're going to get plus value at a 50-50 chance, essentially. I would take it, even if it's against my favorite team. It is a Colby Marchio.”

Minnesota Twins first-five team total over 2.5 (+114)
“All right. Let's start off with the Twins team total in the first five innings, over two and a half, plus 114. They're going up against the Oakland F starter, Joey Estes, who has the worst pitcher rating on battersiphonbox.com. He allows a boatload of hard contact to opposing pitchers. Estes is posting a 5.97 ERA with a whip of 130. Sorry. He is a lot over this number in four of his seven starts this season. The Twins have the highest hitter matchup rate today. They have six elite hitters. Six. That is well over 50% of their roster starting today. They have been phenomenal in the last few games in the F5, averaging 3.33 runs in the first five innings, last three games. Can they keep it up against the Fs? I think so. At plus money, I think it's tremendous value.”
MIN 5, OAK 6 — The Twins scored just 1 run through five innings against Oakland (Athletics won 6-5), staying under their first-five team total of 2.5. (Twins through 5 innings: 1 run)
