VIP Picks 8/7/25

2-1 day thanks to a late comeback from the Padres, the only better scenario would have been a walkoff hit from Arraez to cash a 3-0 day. We will take the back to back winning days though! Today is light for MLB so we are going one PGA parlay and one MLB play. 2-0 order up!

Round 1 Matchups

Xander Schauffele over Aldrich Potgieter / Scottie Scheffler Over Sepp Straka (-103)

Schauffele finished 2nd here last year and shot 66 in Round 1 while Potgieter wasn’t even in the event. We were on Potgieter in the event he won back in June but looking through his recent play, he’s missed the cut or withdrawn in 10 of his last 13 events.

Straka finished 61st out of 70 here last year and Scottie finished 4th. Straka has been up and down all season and either really good or really bad but we know we are getting consistency from Scheffler the #1 golfer in the world with 11 straight Top 10 finishes. 

MLB:

Mariners (-1.5)

The Mariners have covered the -1.5 in each of the first 2 games in this series vs the White Sox with wins on 8-6 and 8-3. They are going to face 3-7 Shane Smith who the White Sox have lost 11 of the 14 games with Smith on the mound by 2 runs or more this season. Logan Gilbert takes the mound for the Mariners and he has a 2.27 ERA at home this season. Let’s take the Mariners to cover -1.5 today.
