3-0! 3-0! 3-0! What a great start to the week! Small slate tonight but we are going to go for a 2-0 Tuesday to move to 5-0 on the week. Let's get it!
MLB:
8:08 EST
It’s a weird game tonight with no starter announced for the Dodgers yet and likely a bullpen game and on the other side is Luis Gil who has had ups and downs this season. Let’s focus in on a hit parlay.
Mookie Betts / Aaron Judge (-110) 🥈
Betts has hit safely in 6 of his last 7 and 7 of his last 9 playoff games despite having at least 1 walk in 7 of those 9 games as well which takes an at bat away from him as far as a chance to get a hit. He went 1 for 3 with a double and 2 RBIs against Yankees starter Luis Gil earlier this season and I like him to get a hit tonight.
Aaron Judge, going through one of the worst cases of mental flaws in baseball history. He’s overthinking everything, over adjusting, and it’s resulted in a .083 avg in the World Series and even .140 in the playoffs. I’m a stats guy, the stats do not say to take Judge in our hit parlay tonight. But I’m also a baseball guy, and there comes a time where you just remind yourself to stop overthinking and just go do what you do best. Sometimes situations like elimination games is the perfect kind of game that can force you to just go play ball.
NBA:
9:10 EST
Player Prop
De’Aaron Fox (Sac) Assists Over (5.5) 🥇
I was shooting for a player prop in one of the TNT games for you guys but I can’t ignore that Fox has just about doubled this number in 2 of his 3 games to this point with 10 and 11 assists in those games.
The Kings are playing the Jazz tonight who have allowed 131 and 117 points in 2 of their 3 games plus this game has the highest point total on the NBA slate tonight and it’s 15 points higher than the next closest. What’s my point? Lots of offense and lots of offense from the Kings. That means lots of assists from Fox.
