VIP Picks 4/24/24

Boooo 0-3 last night. Big Wednesday on 4/24/24 for us to claw back and head into the second half of the week with some momentum!


MLB:

1:15 EST

Diamondbacks (Montgomery) (-125)

  • Jordan Montgomery will pitch for the DBacks today and he was great his last time out where he only allowed 1 run over 6 innings pitched in a 17-1 win.

  • The DBacks beat the Cardinals 14-1 yesterday and they can definitely go off this season!

  • Kyle Gibson will pitch for the Cardinals and he’s sitting at 1-2 with a 5.04 ERA on the season. Plus the DBacks already beat him on 4/13.

  • The Cardinals offense has been pretty dead in recent games - 1, 0, & 1 plus they have a tough matchup vs Montgomery. Let’s take the DBacks to roll. 


7:05 EST

Parlay

Yankees ML / Oilers ML (+116) 🥉

  • The Yankees will face As starting pitcher Joe Boyle who has allowed 7+ runs in 2 of his 4 starts so they should crush him tonight.

  • Clarke Schmidt will take the ball for the Yankees and he’s posted a 2.45 ERA over his last 3 starts. 

  • The Oilers will be home for Game 2 of the series tonight and they scored 7 goals vs the Kings in Game 1.

  • The Oilers have now gone 4-1 against the Kings this season. 

  • The Oilers capitalized on the Power Play in Game 1 and that could very well be the difference again tonight.


7:00 EST

Team Total

Celtics Over (110.5) 🥇

  • The Celtics put up 114 in Game 1 and kind of took their foot off of the gas in the 4th quarter.

  • They have now scored 110+ in all 4 of their games against the Heat this season.

  • The experts are saying the Heat will lock down defensively and turn this game into a grind as part of their strategy but it feels like that should have been and likely was their strategy in Game 1 and Boston came out on fire.

  • The Celtics averaged 120 ppg this season and the number was even better at 123 ppg at home this season.

  • Look for a lot of energy and a good shooting night from the Celtics tonight who the Heat are going to struggle stopping.


7:00 EST

Player Prop

Jayson Tatum Threes Over (2.5) 🥈

  • Kind of a double dip here taking a second prop on the Celtics offensive effort but I’m with it, you don’t have to be if you don’t want to!

  • Tatum went over 2.5 threes made in 2 of his 3 games against the Heat in the regular season. 

  • He went 1 for 8 from 3 in Game 1 while the Celtics hit the most threes ever in a playoff game in franchise history.

  • I expect the Celtics to be firing away from three again tonight and I expect Tatum to have a better game from behind the arc tonight. He’s hit 2+ threes in 6 of the 8 games following a game where he only made 1 three this season.

  • His line has been 3.5 all season or at like -220 when it’s at 2.5 this season so -140 is worth taking.


*If these NBA plays are looking good and the Yankees win, I will look to add a play for the late game(s)
