VIP Picks 9/10/25

BOOOO Padres and BOOOOO Zac Gallen for grooving a fastball to serve up a 1st inning homerun last night. 3-3 on the week going into Wednesday, let’s get to work.

MLB:

3:35 EST

Red Sox (-130) - The Red Sox have outscored the A’s 13-0 through the first 2 games in this series and they are facing a pitcher who is listed as an “Unspecified Position" on ESPN and he’s 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA. He has a 6.13 ERA in Minor Leagues this season so the numbers don’t look great for him going into this matchup against the 5th ranked offense in the league. Payton Tolle will start for the Red Sox and he got lit up in his last start so he’s looked great in one start and terrible in another since coming up to the Big Leagues. Luckily for him, today’s matchup against this A’s lineup that hasn’t scored a single run in this series should be a confidence booster for him. Sox -130 great value this afternoon. 

8:40 EST

Padres (-151) - They screwed us last night but we are going back to them tonight. Andrew Abbott is pitching for the Reds and he started the season 10-3 but the dude hit a wall and has gone 2-7 over his last 9 starts. The Reds have been outscored 29-9 in his last 5 losses. Nick Pivetta will pitch for the Padres and he’s been delivering quality starts all season pitching 5+ while allowing 2 or less runs in 12 of his last 13 starts. He’s hasn’t faced this Reds lineup yet this season but he’s held them to a .183 avg in 65 at bats lifetime.
