VIP Picks 8/21/25

Well that backfired…Ohtani got lit up like a Christmas tree. On to today with some day action!

PGA:

12:49 EST

Round 1 Matchup

Ludvig Aberg over Cameron Young (-135) - if it looks familiar it’s because we took this same matchup last week on Thursday and Friday and won both of those bets. We are going back to it today in Round 1 at East Lake. Both guys have been playing well but Aberg still has the edge in this head to head matchup so we are taking it for the 3rd time in 8 days. 

MLB:

2:10 EST

Royals (-125) - let’s jump on the Royals at home who have won 4 of their last 5. They are going to be facing Patrick Corbin who we cashed in on the last time he pitched and got rocked in a 14-2 loss. The Royals already beat Corbin this season and they come in with great numbers hitting .308 against him. Michael Lorenzen is pitching for KC and he’s held the Rangers in check to a .240 avg. Lorenzen is also riding an 11 inning scoreless streak into this game so he’d pitching good right now. 

2:20 EST

Brewers / Cubs Alt Under (7) - we are taking the alternate under here today to get that extra half run on the line to get it up to 7 instead of 6.5. Both of these pitchers have been great this season and in head to head matchups. Imanaga has pitched 6+ innings while allowed just 1 run each in 2 of his last 3 starts. 11-1 Quinn Priester will pitch for the Brewers and he held the Cubs to 2 runs over 5.2 innings in his last start against them. There have been 7 or less runs scored in 3 of the first 4 games in this series.

Bonus play - Same Game Parlay Dodgers ML / Freddie Freeman Hit (-170)

The reason this is a bonus play and not a standard play is the juice on it. If it weren't for losing the hammer last night, this is the kind of play that I would bet heavy today to make up for the juice. But do what YOU want with it ;)
