VIP Picks 10/18/24

1-2 and what a dud from Kamara….Rattler is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. Atleast the Dodgers came through for us to salvage the day and we start our day with them today!


MLB:

5:08 EST

Dodgers (Flaherty) (-142) 🥇

  • Jack Flaherty takes the mound for th Dodgers and he held the Mets scoreless and to just 2 hits over 7 innings in Game 1. He’s held them to a .200 avg lifetime in 90 at bats and the Dodgers have all the momentum in this series.

  • The Mets start David Peterson who the Dodgers come in hitting .343 against and 4 guys in the lineup have taken him deep before. Lefty lefty matchups not too scary here - Ohtani .375 vs him, Freeman .316 with 2 HR, & Muncy .400 with 1 HR.

  • How long will Peterson last? This Mets bullpen has been struggling allowing 17 runs and 15 walks in this series. 

  • A lot of things would have to go wrong for the Dodgers to not close it out tonight and I don’t see them losing.


8:08 EST

Yankees (Gil) (-125) 🥈

  • The Guardians have some momentum after the late heroics to tie the game and then walk it off last night but tonight’s matchup favors the Yanks.

  • The Guardians will start Gavin Williams who went 3-10 with a 4.86 ERA in the regular season, he hasn’t pitched in a game in about a month, he’s young, & he’s never pitched in the Playoffs. Oh, and the Yankees beat him 6-0 earlier this season.

  • Luis Gil will pitch for the Yankees and the guys in this CLE lineup are just 4 for 18 against him.

  • Surprised the moneyline is only -125, take it.


*Bonus Friday Fun Play - parlay Dodgers ML + Yankees ML for +210 odds (don’t double dip though, so either play them separate or parlay them, don’t do both)


CFB

8:00 EST

1st Half

Oregon (-16.5)

  • #2 Oregon on the road against 1-5 Purdue and the Ducks should jump out to an early lead and never look back! 28.5 for the full game is tempting but being up 17+ by half time seems like the better play here. 

  • Look at these 1st half results for Purdue - down 24-3 to Illinois, down 21-6 to Wisconsin, 0-0 to Nebraska, down 17-7 to Oregon St, & down 42-0 to Notre Dame. Point being that Purdue hasn’t done much on offense and have been dominated out of the gate im a couple of them.

  • #2 Oregon is gonna score here, their team total is 44.5! And I’ll give their defense credit that they’ve been pretty good vs lesser opponents.

  • Ducks will be up 3+ touchdowns by halftime. Book it.
