VIP Picks 10/9/25

1-2 to drop another unit on the week is not what we had drawn up for yesterday but that’s the way it went. No 3-0 with a titty flash in Edmonton. Now we REALLY need to put together a winning day today. 

NFL:

8:15 EST

Alt Line Parlay

Eagles ML / DeVonta Smith 40+ Rec Yds (-110) - The Eagles are coming off of their first loss of the season ands they will be looking to bounce back. DeVonta Smith is coming off of his biggest game of the season with 114 yards on 8 catches. He’s gone for 40+ in 3 of his last 4 games and 5 of his last 6 against the Giants. The Giants pass defense ranks 24th so I think the Eagles passing game can get going and the Giants focus on defense will be Saquon after he gashed them for 176 last time. The Giants got all hyped up beating the Chargers but then they came right back and lost to the Saints. The Eagles bounce back tonight and DeVonta goes over 40 for us. 

MLB:

6:08 EST

Dodgers (-137) - The Dodgers have a little pressure after losing last night because now they need to win tonight to close out the series or else they have to go back to Philly for a Game 5 and no one wants to be a road team in Philly for an elimination game (hostile environment). Christopher Sanchez will pitch for the Phillies and he’s been very good this season but he has a 4.74 ERA against the Dodgers this season. Tyler Glasnow will pitch for the Dodgers and he was good down the stretch with a 2.49 ERA over the last month. He threw 1.2 scoreless innings in Game 1. The Phillies rocked him in the regular season but we are trusting his recent form and the Dodgers bats giving him run support. 

6:08 EST

Hit Parlay

Shohei Ohtani / William Contreras (-106) - Ohtani has been cold in this series including an 0 for 5 game last night and he’s struggled against Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez but it’s really hard to imagine the best player on the planet going 0 for in back to back playoff games. Then we have Contreras who OWNS Matthew Boyd coming in 5 for 10 against him lifetime and Contreras has had multi hit games in 2 of the 3 games in this series while hitting safely in all 3 games. He’s also hit safely in 12 of thee 16 games against the Cubs this season. 

9:08 EST

Brewers (-125) - Same matchup as Game 1 when the Brewers chased Cubs pitcher Matthew Boyd in the first inning after scoring 6 runs off of him before he could get the third out. The Brew Crew have had success and beat Boyd twice now this season and I look for the same tonight. Freddy Peralta will pitch for the Brewers and he held the Cubs ti 2 runs over 5.2 innings in Game 1. Don’t forget he also held the Cubs to 1 hit over 6 scoreless innings the last time he pitched against them at Wrigley. We got the same matchup at -155 in Game 1 so we will gladly take it at -125 tonight.
