VIP Picks 7/22/25

1-1 on the week and frustrating that the Reds scored 8 runs and lost…THAT’S how bad Brady Singer was last night. Didn’t expect that. On to Tuesday and we are DUE for a winning day so let’s see what we can put together.

MLB:

8:05 EST

Rangers ML / Cubs ML (+102) - JACKHAMMER

Nothing like breaking out of a slump with a big one and dropping 3 units on this will return 3.08. The Rangers will have deGrom on the mound, he’s 9-2, and he has a 1.95 ERA at home. Last time he pitched against the A’s, he went 6 scoreless innings and the Rangers won the ballgame 15-2. Sign me up. Then we got the Cubs going up against 45.5 year old Rich Hill who has only made 4 appearances since 2023. I think it’ll be tough for the old man to keep up with Cubs pitcher Matthew Boyd and his 5th ranked 2.34 ERA. “Over he Hill” Let’s smash this one!

9:40 EST

Astros (-121)

Framber Valdez on the bump for the Astros and he’s really been dominating and that’s led to a 12 game winning streak for the Astros when he’s pitching. He’s pitched 6+ innings in 11 of those 12 starts as well which shows his consistency and dominance during that stretch. He will go up against the DBacks lineup tonight who he has held to a .143 avg and he has a 28.5% strikeout rate against them. 3-6 Eduardo Rodriguez will pitch for the DBacks and this Astros lineup comes in with good numbers against him hitting .302 in 53 career at bats but Altuve makes up more than half of those. Houston has scored 23 runs over their last 3 games so I expect them to get to ERod tonight.
