This is Vincent, the sports betting network. This is cashing out on Vincent, the sports betting network. Coming out you from the circus sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas, Dustin Sweetlesen here. You there. Thanks for making us a part of your night. However, you may be tuning in. Sirius XM, Channel 158, YouTube TV, the Visa Watch App and Radio Affiliates Cross United States of God Bless America. Late night baseball action, the giants on top of the friars in the eighth inning, eight to three. The Yankees leading Seattle, five nothing. That game in the top of the ninth inning. You have the Dodgers one. The Guardian's nothing. As that game is currently in the sixth inning. And then finally, the Tigers and Diamondbacks. Ooh, it's a one run game. Detroit up five, four, eighth inning there. We do have two late night NBA games. As the trailblazer starting to pull away here from the clippers.

51, 39. A nice performance on the road by these two teams next to each other in the standings. And then the one that everyone wanted to watch tonight. The Lakers leading the Cavaliers. 80 to 63. We're there laying 12 and a half in game in the third quarter. 241 and a half. You're in game total. To help us make sense of all that in the NBA. We are going out to the progressive guest line. Welcome again, Michael Fiddle, NBA handicapper action network. Also Yahoo sports at Fiddle's picks on X. And he joins us back in his usual spot here and cashing out. Did you do anything with the trailblazers and the clippers or the Cavaliers and the Lakers tonight? So I have a clippers minus four and a half. There was some late steam against me. And I closed flat at the number. So slightly minus EV. Like minus 2% ticket right there. And I also do have Kauai over six and a half rebounds. And I have that circulated into some player prop parles where I'm trying to disguise some sharp action on some good numbers. And put plus EV parles together because you know parles not to I mean player props not too liquid.

In NBA in terms of overnight bedding when I do most of my stuff. So I'll try and disguise some of my action and put them in parles. So if Kauai gets to six and a half rebounds over six and a half so seven plus. That would come home with some other stuff that already hit. So I'm hoping that Kauai can grab a few more boards and maybe maybe the clippers storm for a late comeback. But I've done really well tonight so far. So it's looking like the hot street continues because I've been crushing it recently in the NBA. Oh, I love to hear it. Act Fiddle's picks. By the way, check out his NBA bedding show. All the information is over on his x page as well. Where are you with the clippers right now or the Lakers right now? They've won 12 of 13 tonight. If they finish this job against Cleveland, be 13 of 14. And they're really finding their way late in the season. I know a lot of people want to get hopeful about the Lakers making a run here. The Western Conference is still what it is. But what do you think of them and how they could potentially match up with someone in the postseason? So I think they're going to be very matchup dependent. They've played very well against some of the slower pace teams within struggle against teams that, you know,

present very athletic and fast pace. I have them like power ranked 10th, 11th best in the league right now. I believe they're playing above their skis. JJ Redick has proven to be a fantastic head coach in this late game situations are just amazing. Obviously he's got very high IQ players in local LeBron, Reeves, even Marcus smart. They're playing very smart basketball upon intended. And so, you know, we'll see what they can do and who they get matched up against. But they seem like 80% locked into the three seed. It's really just going to be a battle of, you know, do they get the lemon that is the Houston Rockets right now? So the Timberwolves, if they have the Minnesota Timberwolves, I'd probably be looking Timberwolves at plus money and, you know, money lines and series prices against them. If they get the Rockets who we just saw them take two against, you know, a week or two ago. I would like the Lakers a little bit better in that match up. And then again, the spurs if they do, you know, end up in that six spot. They might get the spurs in round two. In which case, you know, the experience of LeBron and Luca in the playoffs against how young and fresh.

You know, they've not been in a single playoff series. Most of these spurs guys, except for like Harrison Barnes and Luke Cornett and they're like role player facilities. Mitch Johnson has never coached a playoff series at the helm of a team. So how you get game planned against for four games, seven games in a row. It becomes very new in the NBA for a lot of these young guys. You get punched in the mouth a little bit. So I actually think the Lakers, if they're in the in the three spot and they get, you know, Rockets in round one spurs in round two. They could be really sneaky. But if they end up with Minnesota, they might be around one exit. Michael Fiddle is our guest at Fiddle's picks on X NBA handicap or Yahoo Sports, the action network NBA betting with Fiddle Monday Wednesday Friday, 11am Eastern time, all the information, and at Fiddle's picks on X. Luca just hit a stupid one-legged shot here in this game. 8466, the Lakers with the lead on Cleveland will keep you posted on that throughout the night here. But let's start shifting our attention, looking for some value on the board as far as Wednesday's concern, Michael. And Atlanta goes to Orlando laying four and a half.

The total's 234 and a half as Atlanta's the five seed or Lando's the eight seed right now. And there's been a little weird dysfunction with the magic lately with Jamal Mosley. How do you want to play this game between Atlanta and Orlando on Wednesday? So there's 234 and a half on the total. And I think this is a clear under spot for this game. Atlanta's offense on the road has really suffered. And then you factor in that, you know, market ratings for a total of prices game closer to 232. And so I'm going to go against that and go on towards the under on the 234 and a half. The markets moved it from 232 and a half up to 234 and a half. But I think that's got to be the ceiling. And this is going to start coming down back down and close closer to that 232. There might be a little bit of pump fake in the betting market early for this game. You can play off intensity. You mentioned where they are in the seedings. We saw this just the other day yesterday with Phil Dalfi and Miami. The playoff intensity to either be in the right side of the play and bracket in the seven eight or for Atlanta avoiding the play and bracket altogether and trying to strive up to that five seed.

So they make their path in the playoffs as easy as it possibly can be from those positions. There should be a high level of intensity, a real focus on defense. And so it's going to be a little bit more offensively the pace slows down a little bit because you value your possessions so much and you try and get to the right actions. And so you you operate a little bit less carefree and transition and just the pull up three slow down. So that ends up driving pace down and drive scoring down. So I'm attacking some of these high level seeding matchups for the last seven or eight games of the NBA season to say treat them as almost playoff intensity and almost handicapped them from a playoff level. So that's how that would be impacted. And so pricing is a 232 like you might even want to manually adjust it down to 230. So this is at under 234 to have under 233 and a half. Literally everything in market right now is good for me as an under for this game. Michael Fiddle is our guest NBA handicap rap Fiddle's picks on X action network Yahoo sports as well as where he can find his work.

Let's go to another game on the card for Wednesday where we got a big spread New York's lane 14 and a half at Memphis the totals to 28 and a half. They're off the back to back disappointing performance against the rockets on Tuesday night. Which direction are you going to look in this game? So you mentioned earlier that the Cavaliers are getting smacked in the mouth by the Lakers. And I'm not too surprised by that because being the four seed in the east is probably better than being the three seed. You're the four seed in the east right now. You're technically getting Toronto instead of Atlanta, which is plus to get the raptors as they're struggling versus the hawks who are surging. And then in the second round, you would get the pistons who you know might be getting Kate cutting him back for the playoffs. But even if Kate cutting him does return for the playoffs, you want to get to him, you know, quick before he gets his win back, you know, all pun intended with the lung injury that he suffered. You want to get to that. You'd want to avoid the hawks and the six seed in the first round and then the Celtics who are the eastern conference favorites in the second round. And so it's actually makes sense that the four seed is probably better than the three seed in the east.

So the next being second night of a back to back on the road. I think there's a chance that Brunson sits. I think there's a chance that Carl Anthony Towns sits. I think there's a chance at OG and an OB sits and I think there's a chance this line swings heavily because of the injury report right now. We have the game price at 14 and a half, which prices Memphis's lines where they should be like this assumes that the next guys are going to go. And I wouldn't be surprised at all to say, OK, maybe we get questionable towns Brunson and an OB and Josh heart tomorrow. And that would cause a huge fluctuation. So if you're watching this, you know, tonight and you can action this as an NBA overnight, Memphis with the asymmetry right here is an absolute no brainer should offer the ability to open up the middle and play it back or just ride a ticket. I did some of the math before we hopped on Dustin. And if you think Brunson is worth four points, which I think is being conservative against the spread for Jalen Brunson. He would have to sit 17 and a half percent of the time in this exact situation for this to be a plus EV ticket.

Just the slight possibility that a little bit less than one in five chance that he sits in this game means you should bet it right away and play into that asymmetry. And that doesn't even factor in that if Brunson sits, you might get towns, you might get an OB, you might get Josh heart. Michele Bridges will play because he's got that Iron Man streak, but maybe less minutes. So I'm looking Memphis plus 14 and a half Memphis plus 675 plus 700s out there on the money lines are no brainers because it seems like at worst case scenario, the next come into this game and say we need to get right. We're going to play our guys. We need to develop a rhythm and the line closes at 14 and a half or 15 and like, you know, like I mentioned with the clippers. If you close flat at the number, you have a minus 2% EV ticket long term. So the chance of either being minus 2% EV or potentially plus 12, 14 or even greater percent EV. It's one of the largest asymmetries that I see on the board right now. So I'm looking to fade the next and buy the Memphis Grizzlies and while Memphis has kind of been tanking themselves, they still play really hard at home.

So I like that this game is also in Memphis. That was awesome breakdown. That is the way you attack the board every day. I can't wait to do this with the post season with you just the night after night reaction here, looking at these books have to adjust with a very short amount of time in these series.

I look forward to it again next week, Michael. Nice to be back with you. I'll see you next week. Awesome stuff per usual with Michael there. Final score in Seattle. The Yankees get the win five nothing against the Mariners. We go into half time in Los Angeles with the Clippers and the Trailblazers 62-46 Portland with the lead. Right now we're looking at a Clippers team that shot 5-17 from three not not great, but not horrible. And on the other side a Portland squad that's come out firing. We're on to Monte Camara over 20 and a half PRA.

He's got 15 and three. He's at 18 already. So we're sitting in a good spot as far as that bet's concerned. Our first half over though did not wind up caching. Let's see if there's a second half wager we can make on that game. And we'll look for some wagers on the Wednesday major league baseball card three up three down and has there ever been a picture in our better bounce back spot. Then this one we're going to discuss.

Welcome back into cashing out on Dustin sweetle sin you're locked into V sin the sports betting network late night action NBA major league baseball. We've got it across the board Lakers up 98 78 on the Cavaliers. They're laying 15 and a half and the total in game is 251 and a hook. That games in the third quarter with about 249 to go Portland on top of the clippers at the half 62 46 year score Portland's laying eight and a half totals 216 in a hook. You just look at how this thing played out in the first half so it was a three point game Portland led 34 31 in the first quarter. Second quarter and the trailblazers out scored the clippers 28 15 you have a home team who is down here these two teams are next to each other in the standings and I think it's a clippers team that can shoot better than they have so far in this game.

I'm going to go in game I'm going to take the Los Angeles clipers plus the points here at where is it on my app hang on NBA. We're going to go plus eight and a half is that what it is here eight and a half yet eight and a half. I'm going in game eight and a half on the clippers. I do think that they're they're live here to come back and at least make this game closer and more respectable. So let me do that. We're also going to fire on a better than major league baseball Wednesday while I have that open on my sports book. I'll tell you what that is in just a second. Night fitting in San Diego and the Giants are up eight to three on the Padres Giants still batting here with a runner on first and nobody out. So not great there. We were stupid. We bet on Hermann Marquez and the Padres today at a plus price and that unfortunately that's not going to come home in that game in Los Angeles. You have the Dodgers on top of Cleveland Guardians to nothing and right now the Dodgers are minus 9000 Cleveland 11 to one of the seventh inning your in game total is three and a half.

So Tony made his debut for the Dodgers six innings one hit three strikeouts six strikeouts or three walks six strikeouts. He goes over on his outs recorded which we had at 16 and a half but he goes under his six and a half strikeouts in the game as Alex Vesia came on and did get an inning of work. Struck out a batter scoreless that moved us into the seventh inning. So I'll keep you updated on all the late night action throughout here on the program. But let's start looking ahead try to find some value on the board as far as major league baseball is concerned. And what we like to do here on catching up is we begin with the starting pictures in a segment we call three up three down who's hot who's not coming into the card for Wednesday. So let's begin with the Philadelphia Phillies hosting the Washington Nationals as Christopher Sanchez makes his second start of the season. He is now your favorite for a national league saw young and he is a minus 271 favorite plus 218 the other way with Cade Cavalli and the Nats eight and a half is your in game total.

Sanchez is first started the year against Texas was brilliant six innings three hits no runs ten strikeouts. Now he saw Washington only one time last season five innings to earn three walks and six strikeouts for him but he's become a totally different picture. This is a guy who's blossomed and become a legitimate front line ace and I'm looking at his K prop it's six and a half. You can go over it minus 150. I like it here even though Washington's been punchy offensively to start the season. I do think Sanchez could be a mismatch for them his total outs recorded is 18 and a half. I don't know if I want to go there that feels a little bit high it actually lean under especially early in the season and if Philadelphia's offense continues to open up here and start to put runs on the board. If they knock Cavalli around and they have a few run lead. I don't know if Sanchez in the six inning if his teams leading by three runs is going to stay on and risk anything down the road. So I'd stay away from the outs. I'll go over six and a half K's at minus 150 juice. I hate paying that price but that's the reality that you have to do sometimes in major league baseball.

Now I'm not seeing odds for this game and I don't know why this keeps happening with this series. I understand that the Jacob DeGrom situation hung over the Texas Rangers. And that's why we didn't get odds until way to late in the night last night. But we don't have odds for native Aldi versus Trevor Rogers at Camden Yards for Wednesday. It's an early start by the way 1235 PM Eastern time. Trevor Rogers though is the story for this one even though native Aldi was awesome last season. He was hurt a lot but he was awesome when he was healthy. Trevor Rogers if you go back to his 18 starts last year. This is probably the hottest pitcher in baseball like legitimately this side of Paul Skinsen school ball I guess. But in his first start against Minnesota the winning ways continued. Seven innings for the lefty for Baltimore three hits no runs. He did a four walks but he had five strikeouts. Now he's going to face this Texas team who I like them offensively. But a year ago they weren't really dominant against left-handed pitching. Could Trevor Rogers continue this because last year in 18 starts.

He had a 1-8-1 he already down the stretch. He was amazing. I'd actually start to think about Texas here. Maybe this thing comes crashing down to Rogers who I like as a player like like don't get it twisted. I thought it was a pretty decent trade at the time at the deadline two years ago. Right though Rogers is going to make an impact that led to Baltimore making a run on the postseason. That never came to fruition. Him finding himself last year was a bit of a surprise coming off of how things shook out two years ago. I just I think he's pitching way over his skis because he's not a side young caliber guy. And that's what he's currently performing like. Paul Skins looks to rebound from opening day where he did not make it out of the first inning against the New York Mets. Now we'll take on the Cincinnati Reds and in his career against Cincinnati. Paul Skins has done a lot of work man and he's been awesome. And in five starts 29 innings pitched. He has a 0.31 ERA a 4-0 record 40 strikeouts in those 29 innings in a 0.793 whip. Paul Skins is minus 163 on the money line facing Andrew Abbott who's plus $1.35 the total in the game is seven and a half.

There is no props up right now for pictures. But if I was doing something on the game, I would lean under seven and a half where I'm not sure Pittsburgh really knocks around Andrew Abbott at home. And I think Skins has a monster performance coming off a game at city field where he didn't make it out of the first inning. So that is three up. Now let's go three down the pictures that maybe we look to fade on the Wednesday card. Boston's Garrett crochet your second shot on the board for American League side young. He is not good against the Houston Astros. This blew me away when I saw some of these numbers as Boston is in Houston taking on Mike Burrows on the other side where Boston's a minus 156. Favorite Houston and Burrows are plus 129. The total in the game is seven, but in four games three starts against Houston. Garrett crochet has a 6 to 80 R.A. He's 0 in three 14 to the third inning. He does have 22 strikeouts, but a 1 6 7 4 whip for the left. And this is a Houston lineup that notoriously pounds left handed pitching.

Jeremy Pena is for for eight lifetime against him. L2 V3 for seven with a double parade as who kills South pauses two for three with a dinger. Jordan Alvarez the rare lefty who can hit lefties two for five with a double and Carlos Correa is three for nine. I would consider maybe a first five plus a half run on the Houston Astros once that becomes available. Because I do think Mike Burrows bounces back from his first start of the year. This is a guy that they hyped up coming into the year. I don't know if I'm willing to go against them for the full game. Boston with crochet, but maybe there's some player props we can find once those start to populate later on in the night. Let's go to back to the Texas game with Baltimore. As Kumar rocker takes the hill for the Rangers and Kumar rocker from a prop perspective is someone I'd like to fade coming up against this Baltimore lineup. That is waiting to explode. Rocker on the road last year for Texas was horrendous a nine to nine ERA eight starts 31 innings. He went one in five with just 25 K's and a whip near two.

He's going to face a Baltimore lineup with Gunner Henderson who looks fully healthy. Peter Lonzo who just hit his first home run for the Orioles and a really deep one to nine. So while I don't love the idea of Trevor Rogers continuing to be this dominant player once we get odds for this game. I do imagine Rogers going to be something like a 150 favorite 145 is in that range because Kumar rocker can't be trusted on the road. And I think the Baltimore team total would probably be the best way to attack Kumar rocker in that matchup. No odds currently up for the late night action featuring the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Detroit Tigers. Oh, you know, it's not late night. It's going to be at 1240 PM Pacific time. So 340 on the East Coast, but this is one of the later games on the slate. So it's Terrick school ball taken on Zach Allen. No odds available, but it doesn't mean we can't fade Zach Allen once they're once they're up. First start of the year for gallon for innings pitched for earned five hits two walks to strikeouts. This guy looked like a say young contender for like two or three years with Arizona and he's completely falling off.

I don't know what's happened and Detroit hitters have decent numbers against him. It's mostly Havi bias five for 10 lifetime with a homework three doubles. Zach McKinchery one for five with a home run. Overall Tigers are 12 for 40 lifetime against him three out 300 average two dingers and four doubles. I would look to fade Zach gallon, but you know Detroit with school ball on the bumps could be laying a huge price there. So perhaps the Tigers team total with the way they're mashing to start the season. That's probably the best direction to look here.

When we return, we'll talk final four with former college coach Mark Godfried on cashing out. Welcome back to cashing out here on V sin these sports betting network. Back at it on cashing out. I'm Dustin sweetle sin. This is V sin. These sports betting network late night action in the association Portland leads the clippers 64 49. We're just a couple minutes into the third quarter as far as that game is concerned. We went in game at halftime. On the clippers just catching eight and a half. It just felt like a lot of points here in a game where this does matter for seedings between these two teams. So 64 50 is your score right now 1009 to go in the third quarter. The Lakers in the fourth quarter up on Cleveland 111 87 10 minutes to go there.

Your in game total is 245 and a hook just want to pull up the box score real quick and see what exactly has been going on. Because every time I look up, I've seen Luca make some circus acrobatic shots in this game. And yeah, that would be the case. He is 35 points. He is 11 times 5 rebounds. He's 510 from beyond the arc. You know what? I said, I don't think he can win MVP, but good God is he going to make it a difficult decision for those guys. You just have to consider it, especially because like you look at LeBron, you think there's name value there. LeBron James is not the LeBron James you think he is when you think about his name. And Austin reels is a very good number two three option, but the rest of the roster is not impressive. I mean the construction of it was mostly done by LeBron, which is part of the issue. The fact that Luca has them on this heater where they're about to win 13 of 14. I think there is something interesting there as far as that is concerned with him for MVP. I don't think he wins the award, but I do think he's going to make it a very compelling case by the end of this thing. We have a final score in San Diego where the Giants win nine to three. Wow, nice performance by Vitello squad. There is they pick up a win.

And that is their second win of the season San Francisco Logan Web was not good six innings three earned run five Ks by his own standards. I'd say Vitello let him throw 104 pitches is second start of the year. That is quite a move. Maybe because we're seeing some things go back to the way they used to be in baseball. Like we're seeing contact be something that the better teams are emphasizing. If you notice certain teams are trying to get guys to put them on play more because mistakes can happen in the field. Maybe we're going back to a world where pictures are allowed to go deeper into games and work their pitch counts up because that theoretically gives them more strength later in the year instead of coddling them and treating them like babies and that they're delicate pieces. But Logan Web does get the dub as Willie Adama's homework is first of the year Matt Chapman also homework his first of the year against Hermann Marquez San Francisco moves the two and three on the season after that win. And then in Los Angeles we have the Dodgers doing battle with Cleveland Guardians right now it's to nothing eighth inning in game number.

The Dodgers are laying yet 2300 plus 780 the other way with Cleveland total in the game is two and a half. I consider the under but the problem is there's always a chance that Cleveland brings in some bullpen arms that really aren't all that great in this game. We will see how that shakes out though and I'll keep you posted throughout the night here on caching out. I'm Dustin Sweetleson. I appreciate you making us a part of your night. However you may be tuning in serious XM channel 158 YouTube TV the visa watch app and radio affiliates across the United States of God bless America. So the only late night action in baseball right now is that Dodger game and then the NBA we have the two contests and now it's time to talk a little final four and I'm excited to do so with our next guest. He is coach Mark Godfried. Check out his podcast the Mark Godfried show wherever you get your podcast and he joins us once again on the precipice here with the final four come in this weekend on the progressive guest line coach. Thanks for doing this. How are we feeling right now? I'm excited excited to watch the final four and I was listening to you there. I'm watching my Dodgers right now and I got the Lakers. I got TVs everywhere and so it's a good night.

Yeah, show Hey, look good on the bump. Show Hey, look good throwing the ball that adds a positive side for the Dodgers. We like that. I like Max Muncie just going ahead and get one out of the way hit a home already. First one of the season. So hopefully we can hang on and get this one done tonight. Yeah, be a nice win against Cleveland team that was punchy the other day against the Dodgers at Dodgers stadium. But let's talk final four and you've been through this before and it's a really delicate situation when you're up for a coaching job when someone's trying to get you over there and the rumors are around. Can you help us understand what Tommy Lloyd's going through having to prepare his team for a final four but also deal with questions on the outside about is he going to take this North Carolina opening as they're getting set to take on Michigan this Saturday. You know, it's really difficult for him and you know, because I'm sure they want to have a conversation with him and I am also pretty sure. I would doubt that he that he's already had a conversation. I don't think he would ever let that happen. So, you know, it's difficult, but at the same time, you know, it's part of the business and I'm sure he's got himself as team focusing on the final four.

They have a chance to have a legitimate chance to win it this year. They're good enough to. And so I think you just kind of find a way to put that on the back burner. What happens, you know, whatever their season ends, hopefully if they can win it all. You know, that may change things too for him, but that'll be an interesting one to watch to see what happens with actually with the whole North Carolina job search. I know Billy Donovan's name's been mentioned and and Nate Oates's name's been mentioned. So we'll see which way they ultimately end up going. We're going to try to use our guests, former college basketball coach, and he's been through this before he knows what guys like Tommy Lloyd are preparing for Alabama NC state. And now this matchup for for Arizona against Michigan. How do you see these two teams going up against each other because my eye sees a lot of length, a lot of size, a lot of real skill, especially in the paint. Who do you think ends up being most successful in this matchup?

Well, first of all, I think they're the two best teams, no knock on Yukon or Illinois, but I like Michigan and I like Arizona. And, you know, you almost waiting at times for Arizona's freshman players, they're relying on two or three guys that are they're young. Maybe for those guys to crack or fold a little bit, but they haven't they have not they have stepped up every single game. I love the length inside. I love their athleticism. I love co-oped. All the guys ever does is win one in high school, nice winning. I think for USA basketball and for Arizona. So they're awfully good, but you know, from the start, I've really liked Michigan's team and I love the kid. I can never say his name right, but the kid that transfer from UAB, the player of the year. Yeah, him he's he's a good one. And then I think Mara makes them different, you know, it's seven foot three just hanging around the rim and, you know, he finds a way to help him here and there and their guard place been great. So you looking at two teams in my view that are evenly matched.

They're they're both good and I'm not sure they have weaknesses with either team and that's why I think it's going to be a great game to watch. I mean, it's it's literally impossible. Our job is to have an opinion. Someone asked me on another show earlier today, I said, here's what you do. You go out to your car, you find a quarter and you flip it. And that's how you decided to win that because I don't know. I love both of these teams. We're chatting with coach Mark Godfrey. Download his podcast to coach Mark Godfrey. He has awesome guests on it from all walks of life in the world of sports. How about the other game? I'm super intrigued by this matchup illinois with the euro invasion and everything underwoods done there and then Yukon and Hurley. All he does is when these tournament games coach, it's a one and a half point spread. So anticipation. This one's going to be close as well. How do you see it shaken out? You know, I think when you have a game like Yukon had against do so many times in the tournament and, you know, maybe your viewers might be too young to remember. But in 95 when we wanted at UCLA, I was an assistant coach, you know, we had the game where Ty said he went behind his back and we were invoiced the Idaho and he made the game winning shot at the buzzer when we beat Missouri.

And sometimes that those plays, they almost put wind at your back and they there's a belief in that locker room now that they're destined to continue on. And the way Yukon beat Duke being down 19 coming back and then hitting the amazing shot on a steel late in the game. I mean, that was just an incredible basketball kind of series to watch right at the end of that game. But I do believe that that might be a momentum boost for Yukon also remember that, you know, you know, Danny Hurley's been here now and Brad underwear has done an amazing job. But there is something to about, you know, understanding that moment, the locker room, your preparation, keeping your team focused, keeping them level. Because always said this and I remember UCLA when we won in the elite eight, we traveled back to Los Angeles from Oakland. And in those two or three days when you're home, you know, the phones ringing off the hook and people want tickets and people are reaching out left and right left and right and sometimes that could be distracting.

So I think, you know, the fact that Yukon has been there, Danny Hurley's been there, I think in the end, maybe that plays into their favor, but Illinois has proven themselves all year long too. And they got a number of guys that can step up and score, they got size, they have length, I love the way, you know, when it's crunch time in the game, they'll go inside, they'll play old school basketball and they'll pound it in there and and take twos and not worry about all these threes. And so I like that the way Illinois plays as well. Coach, for I let you go in about 30 seconds, who do you believe will be cutting down the nets as the national champion on Monday night? Well, only because I've been saying Michigan for about three or four weeks, I'm just going to, I'm going to stay with them. But I will say this, like you said, we can flip a coin in the air and there's no telling, but I'm going to say with Michigan, I think they have the team to do it. So we'll see. He's coach Mark Gottfried, the Mark Gottfried show available wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks so much for doing this during the big dance coach. I really enjoyed our conversations.

All right guys, thank you so much. All right, when we return this team in baseball may have a saw young contender and early MVP guy. I'll tell you who it is next. Welcome back to cash you out here on V sin, these sports betting network. The Dodgers may not be done with the scoring. Welcome back into cashing out. I'm Dustin sweetlson. This is V sin V sports betting network. Eighth inning at Dodgers stadium and we've got runners going first, the third right now. And the Dodgers threatening leading to nothing in the eighth inning. Good thing we didn't touch that total in game. I thought about going in game under. We did not do with that. That ended up being the right call right now. So first and third for the Dodgers looks like. I don't know how many out there are. I can't see there's something blocking my screen. Let me see real quick. Do I have the box score up? Of course they don't have the box score up. Why would I make things convenient for myself?

Well, I'm doing the show one out right now as Teoscar Hernandez is at the plate and Festa is on the hill for the Minnesota for the Cleveland Guardians. I was looking ahead to tomorrow where I'm trying to figure out if I want to back Joe Ryan on the road. I can't to city against or yeah, I can't to city against Noah Cameron. I just I don't like this twins team, but it's early in the year and I do think they have the pitching it. That's why that was in my brain right there. So we've got the fourth quarter in Los Angeles between the Lakers and the Cavaliers going down right now. About 321 to go and the Lakers lead by 18 120 to 102. They're laying 16 and a half in game 236 and a half is your in game total. As Luca Donchich has been going bonkers in this game. I believe it'll be 13 of 14 wins for the Lakers now. As Luca has 35 and 12 assists. Nico Harrison somewhere. I still can't believe that trade happened. Oh, what a wild world Portland up 10 on the road at the Clippers 76 to 66.

And it's a four and a half point spread. Portland's laying it. And that's a bucket right there from the Clippers to make it 76 68. We went in game on the clip plus eight and a half at half time. So that looks pretty good right now to 14 and a half is your in game total. As I believe it was Darius Garland with a nice move to the basket to make this a eight point game. I'll keep you updated on all of that and the rest of the live action throughout the night. But since the show is called cashing out, we probably should look back on the tickets that got home earlier today. And a game that really jumped out to me was what went down with the Houston Astros earlier today because I thought two players made specific very big statements in the game. So first of all, case you missed it. The Astros with the win against Boston 9 to 2. They moved to 4 and 2 on the year. I'm on the Astros win total under. I might be dead wrong about that team. They might just know how to win. And in the game, two players jumped out to me 100 Brown, 100 Brown goes six innings, one hit and eight strikeouts. That is to pair with him in his first start of the year.

4 and 2 thirds, four hits, no runs, nine strikeouts against the angels. And 100 Brown was sitting around 12 to 1 preseason for AL Sai Young. I think this guy has a chance to contend for this award right now, the betting market currently up for the American League Saiyong, you can still get Hunter Brown at 13 to 1. And it's a big jump. You've got Terrick Scoobalk 3 to 1 is the favorite. Garrett Crochet is through plus 360. Max Fried is 10 to 1 and then it's Hunter Brown at 13 to 1. I don't believe what happened last year with Hunter Brown was a flash in the pan. I do believe this guy is a legitimate ace. He's only 62, but when he pitches, he looks like he's 65. Feels like he has a long build where he's throwing the ball close to the batter. And last season in 185 into third innings, he had 206 strikeouts. He had a 243 ERA. The stuff is dominant here. And against the Boston lineup that a lot of people are high on, I think you can do a lot worse. If you were looking to get down on the Saiyong market, if you had nothing currently bet, then then Hunter Brown post flop two starts in where he's absolutely killing it with a 0.84 ERA 17 strikeouts in 10 and two thirds innings.

He's allowed five hits in that work. I like Hunter Brown a lot. And I think that he will be in the mix for the Saiyong throughout this season. The other guy in that game want to bring up is your Don Alvarez and your Don Alvarez, people get annoyed when I say this. But if you compare the start to his career, like the first three or four seasons based on like at bats, it's very comparable to David Ortiz when David Ortiz started to become big poppy. And your Don Alvarez tonight against Boston, he went two for three with a home run, his third of the year and two ribbies. Now, American League MVP is difficult because Aaron Judges just under two dollars to win this thing. Bobby with his four and a half to one. Raleigh is 11 to one. Julio Rodriguez is 12 to one. Vladie is 15 to one. Gunner Henderson. I like his 15 to one. Where is your Don Alvarez? Now, he's a DH. So it's always difficult. He's 30 to one. He's 30 to one. And the problem for your Don Alvarez is not ability. When he plays, he's elite. He is a top tier back.

The problem is he's always hurt. So if you're going to bet on him at 30 to one, you need to understand that there's a world where he gets hurt and he's out for the next three months tomorrow. Okay, but I do think it 30 to one. He's someone that's worth considering right now. As you guys know, following the show, we did the core four. So I have four bets in every market. I'm not really looking to add anymore in the month of March or April. Maybe once we get to mail start considering some additions. If I think there's value on the board. But if I had no bets in this market, I think both these Astros are two players. I'd start considering not just on the start, but based on the track record as well. I don't think it's Flux. I mean, you're on Alvarez. Let's go back and look at the numbers when he plays because I'm curious what is 162 game average is actually. That's that's one way to evaluate it. Now with him, you know, you're not getting 162 games out of him. But I do like that baseball reference throws that out there. And you're done Alvarez is 162 game average is a 297 average with 41 homers, 118 ribbies and 103 runs.

Look, you do that. You're going to be in the conversation for MVP. Is it enough to topple judge? Probably not. But if judge gets hurt, this thing opens wide up. And that number puts you right there with everyone else in this market. It's almost like if you're going to bet MVP in either league. It's you're betting on judge missing like three or four weeks or Otani missing a couple weeks here or there. That's the only way this thing can open up. Unfortunately, it is the general vibe here. So those are two things that jumped out to me from the night's action as far as baseball is concerned. Texas beat Baltimore eight to five. Seeger, Janssen and Durand all hit homers in that game for the Rangers. As the ground was good that bad at the end, finished allowing three earned runs did allow a home run to Pete Alonzo. His first as a Baltimore Oreo, but Texas gets the win. We were on Texas minus 131 on the money line. You'll love to see that Pittsburgh topped Cincinnati eight to three as Bubba Chandler made his debut for the season four and a third notes earned six strikeouts. O'Neill Cruz, who can't play center field did have two homers in the game. Brian Reynolds went yard, Ryan O'Hern hit a homer.

And Ryan O'Hern is someone I want you to file away. I am not the biggest offensive player prop better as far as baseball is concerned. But there's a few guys out there that I really like to back specifically when they have a good matchup. Ryan O'Hern is a left handed bat. He has made a living off of killing right handed pitching. So if he has a really good matchup against the picture that doesn't have overpowering stuff. His total basis is something that I like to look at his combo of hits runs and RBI can make sense at times too if you can get a good price. But he's a guy wears out non dominant right handed pitching. In fact, he hits pretty good right handers as well. Just file that name away for a little bit later. And that's really the big stuff as far as baseball is concerned that jumped out to me. Now in the NBA, what we saw on Tuesday night, the magic beat the sun's 115 111. Now they're going to be on the second half of a back to back where they're taking on the Atlanta Hawks. And that's a four and a half point spread with Atlanta favored on the road. Is there a world where Orlando gets right?

I don't really love them in a back to back spot coming off a win over Phoenix. I think one way I'm going to attack this game is it's going to be on an under with Wendell Carter. We'll discuss that a little bit later, but I think it's a tough matchup and Wendell Carter's coming off a game where he had 58 play 28 minutes had 15 and 12. So I'm thinking about an under with him. And then Jalen Suggs and Desmond Bain both played 38 and 37 minutes in this game. I wonder what they're going to bring to the table in a matchup with Atlanta coming up on Wednesday. Their unders might be two plays. I'm considering as well, just because I don't know if they're ready for that where it looks like Orlando rested to silver who only played 25 minutes. But that caro played 37 minutes in this game as well Orlando's desperate. They're 40 and 35, but it doesn't feel that way. And it feels like there's a disconnect with Mosley and the rest of the team. So that's one element of the night of action in the NBA that did jump out to me. It's like losing 111 94 at the Rockets. There were two and a half point favorites. We said last night we leaned Rockets. We leaned under both of those came home. Of course, we didn't bet either of them if we would have actually made them official plays.

They both probably would have lost. Is there a world where he was thinking get things going in the right direction. I just. I want to believe so I just don't think it's the case. I think this is a squad that desperately misses the presence of Stephen Adams. They've dominated the rebounding battle for them and allowed everyone else to operate and play their own game around him. It's been an absence that's missed for this team that probably is going understated for the next. They're on a back to back. They're going to Memphis after a loss to Houston on back to back nights. That's a 14 and a half point spread. I agree with our buddy Michael fiddle. I'd consider Memphis plus the 14 and a hook in that game.
