VIP Picks 6/17/25

2-0! 2-0! Great start to the week with the Phillies coming through and of course the Pacers made us sweat right until the final minute but that was only because of the 5 million turnovers they had in that game and STILL went over 107.5. We improve to 5-2 on the Finals. Hockey has NOT been as good for us but lucky for us tonight is the last game of the season so of course we are betting on it.

Parlay

Phillies ML / Nationals ML (+130)

The Phillies face the Marlins again who they are 3-1 against this season and Cal Quantril is pitching for the fish who the Phillies fileted last time they faced him for a 7 piece nugget in 3.1 innings. Jesus LLuzardo will pitch for Philly and he is coming off of a nice start 6 innings 1 run vs Cubs and held this Marlins lineup to 1 earned run over 7 innings last time he faced them. Then the Nats who aren’t a regular on the VIP Card ever but they are facing the Rockies and Senzatela and I have an alarm go off on my phone every day he’s pitching for the rest of the season because betting against that combo on the moneyline is 12-2 in it’s last 14 and 1 was quite the gag job so it should be 13-1. Anyways, this Nats lineup comes in hitting .421 against Senzatela who is coming in rocking the 7.23 ERA. Michael Soroka will pitch for WAS and he’s going a solid 5 or 6 innings every time out giving the Nats chances to win. Senzatela does not do that and I expect the Nats to win tonight. +130 for these matchups is great value. 

NHL:

Panthers (-155)

The Oilers were in good position going into Game 5 but now they face elimination and that cocksucker who was too greedy to cash out his parlay for over $100k that all the betting sites keep promoting finally gets what’s been coming to him tonight. The Panthers dominated in Game 5 just like they did in Game 3. You could argue that Florida has been the better team and outplayed the Oilers in all 5 games of this series even though it’s 3-2. Either way, Game 6 in Florida tonight where they are 8-3 in the playoffs. They’ve won 15 of their 19 home playoff games. Florida is +42 hits in this series wearing the Oilers down. The line is juiced with the books expecting another multi goal win from the Panthers but I’m not pivoting to the puck line because of some of the close games these teams have played. Panthers Moneyline is the play.
