VIP Picks 8/1/25

1-0 yesterday! We had 3 games to pick from and we picked one and they literally could have called the game after 3.5 innings because the over already hit for us! On to Friday with a full slate and looking to set up a big weekend! Hey, it’s August, there’s going to be REAL regular season College Football this month….just a heads up. KOOOOOFSPORTS!!!

MLB:

6:45 EST

Brewers (-155)

The Brewers will face the Nationals who they swept less than a month ago and outscored them 22-9 in that series. They will face Mitchell Parker who they tagged for 7 runs in 4.2 innings in that series as well and beat him 8-3. The Brew Crew have always brewed up a good beer against Parker and come in hitting .342 lifetime against the guy. Love that matchup. I am feeling old saying this and thinking about it but the Brewers will have old man reliable Jose Quintana on the mound. He’s held the Nats to a .188 avg lifetime. He’s also 5-1 with a 2.36 ERA on the road. All things line up for a Brewers win here. 

7:10 EST

Twins / Guardians NO Runs in the 1st (-150)

Two studs on the mound with Joe Ryan and Gavin Williams. Ryan is on a 13-2 NO runs in the first streak. Williams is on a 10-0 NO runs in the first streak. Both pitchers have good numbers against the opposing lineups. Both guys should get through the first inning clean tonight. 

8:10 EST

Pirates (-137)

The Pirates are facing 4-14 Antonio Senzatela and we are basically 14-2 when we bet against him this year. We bet against him his last time out and won 18-0. The Pirates come in hitting .375 against Senzy AND this game is in the thin air of Colorado so it should be a slugfest for them. Andrew Heaney is pitching for the Pirates and he has not been pitching good by any means but he should be better than Senzatela. Heaney has held this Rockies lineup to a .255 avg. The Pirates are on a heater winning 5 in a row and the Rockies have lost 4 of their last 5.
