We'll get into the schedule coming up here for tomorrow, as well as the World Baseball Classic. As the tournament continues, as the United States is 2-0 and covering the run line on both games. Nine-and-a-half point, nine-and-a-half point.
We're going to be able to get into the schedule coming up here for tomorrow, as well as the World Baseball Classic, as the tournament continues. As the United States is 2-0 and covering the run line on both games. Nine-and-a-half point, nine-and-a-half run favorite on the run line in their first game against Brazil, they won by 10. Eight-and-a-half on the run line in their game here on Saturday against Great Britain. Actually, they do not cover the eight-and-a-half because they won the game nine-to-one. Nine-to-one for the United States is not a cover of eight-and-a-half runs. They win by eight runs. So, hey, shop around. Maybe you got a seven-and-a-half, ha-ha. Anyway, let's take a look at the schedule coming up here for Sunday and some early lines that there's any opportunity to be betting on these games. Coming up in about 15 minutes or so from now, we're going to be joined by Rowan Cavanaugh from Fox Sports, writing a coverage major league baseball.
We'll get their take on the WBC. But college basketball heating up right now, conference tournament time is here, especially when we are in the smaller conferences where we're getting to the semi-finals this weekend, the championship games, we're punching tickets to the big dance obviously. And then, of course, the power conferences will get underway this week. We have, we've already seen some tickets punched to the big dance. Congratulations to Long Island University. That's right, L.I.U. the Sharks without even playing in their conference championship game. They have clinched a bid to the NCAA tournament because of the way that the NEC works, well, not just the NEC, but there's a lot of conferences where certain teams making the jump up from lesser divisions to Division 1, they have to have that probationary period. And so Mercyhurst, who is in the NEC championship game facing off against L.I.U., Mercyhurst is ineligible for the NCAA tournament.
So L.I.U., just by winning the semi-final, is already in the NCAA tournament. So congratulations for them to get that victory. And then congratulations to Tennessee State, Tennessee State, who wins the Ohio Valley as they are going to the NCAA tournament. They won the OVC championship against Morehead State 93 to 67. So we are also going to keep an eye on the games coming up here for the rest of this week. And here on Sunday, we have the Missouri Valley Conference Championship game here on Sunday. And Arch Madness Unders are all the rage. We've been talking about it now all week. I tweeted about it. Beeson retweeted me. We talked about the numbers. It has been incredible. Last year, 10-in-1 to the under in the Arch Madness tournament, which is the Missouri Valley Conference tournament played in St. Louis.
We started off 3-0 this year. And actually, let's see, we started off 3-0 this year to the under. It is now 5-4 to the under this year. So we started off 3-0, but then there was the 3-1 under day on Friday. And then it went 1-1 here on Saturday. Or 3-1 over day, excuse me. And actually, those numbers got bent down significantly. And then now we have 1-1 here on Saturday, the championship game between, let's see. UIC, let's see, UIC, Illinois, Chicago, is going to be taking on, let's see, Northern Iowa. And the line in this game, the total in this game, is at 1-24 and a half. Now, this is a low total. But we are in the last four tournaments. We are 3-1 to the under in the Missouri Valley Conference.
So we talk about the under's dominating here. The under's have also been dominant in the championship games. 3-1 to the under in the last four championship games. Now, I'm looking at some of these games here. And this year, by the way, 1-24 and a half is the lowest total that we have had in this tournament this year. 1-27 and a half was the lowest total prior to that. That was the Northern Iowa game against Evansville. And that one did go under. Okay. And then also Northern Iowa against Bradley here in the semi-final, and that game went over. Both games at 1-27 and a half. Now, Northern Iowa against UIC, total of 1-24 and a half. It's hard for me to bet this under as much as I want to.
Here's the thing. I'm curious how the market treats this game. Because we have seen, at least in the first round, people were betting the overs. I don't want to say people. There might have been a group that was betting the overs. Because simultaneously, all the market changed on all the games. And they were hit to the over. And then we saw the 3-0 to the under. It then became public. Everyone's talking about it. Everyone's tweeting about it. I'm talking about it. I'm tweeting about it. Veecin's talking about it. Veecin's tweeting about it. And we saw all of the totals get hit to the under on Friday. And then we go 3-1 to the over. It was kind of neutral here. It kind of split the moves on Saturday. And it goes 1-1. Well, in the three, in the four previous championship games. So the last four years, so starting with the 2021 season. So 2022-20, 23-20, 24, and then 25 last year. Again, we are 3-1 to the under.
The average total in these games has been 131.8. So we had a 130 total four years ago. Right? And that one went under by, I believe, six points, let's see. No, one under by eight points. Okay. And that was an under. Then we had a total of 130, the following year in 2022. And that went under by two points. Then we had a total of 148 and a half. And that went, that was an over. So as high as that was, 148 and a half, that went over by, like, 15 points. That was no overtime game either. 84-80, well, Drake and Indiana State. And then last year, Drake and Bradley get this. The total, 118.5. And it went under. 63-48 was the final score.
Now, think about that. We had a run going into that championship game in that tournament. The unders were nine and one. So think about the market suppressing that number to get to 118 and a half. And it still went under. Ten and one is what the unders finished at last year. So this total is at 124.5. Again, I'm very curious to see how the market reacts. And if there's any adjustments as we get closer and closer to this game here on Sunday. So that's one that I will absolutely have my eyes on. And also in the top 25, and we'll talk about this. Our very own Greg Hoops Peter Sim will join us here. I'm going to get his take on the MVC. I also get his take on Michigan, Michigan State. I don't know what a handle this game. Number three Michigan, number eight Michigan State, it's in Ann Arbor. Michigan is a nine and a half point home favorite right now. There's nothing on the line here. I mean, is bragging rights?
Sure, there's always bragging rights. But in terms of playing for like if Michigan loses this game and then Michigan wins the big 10, Michigan's a number one seed. And honestly, if Michigan loses this game and then doesn't win the big 10 championship, they're probably still a one seed. Because they're not going to drop beyond, you know, the number five team right now. Let's say it's like Yukon, right? Is the number five team right now. And with Yukon's lost by the way, that's why they're number five. Like Yukon losing to Marquette. They're not a number, they're not a one seed. Your one seeds are Duke, Michigan, Arizona, and Florida. Those are your one seeds. So even if Michigan loses this game and then loses in the big 10 semi-final, let's say, or final, whatever it is, they're still going to be a one seed. They're not going to get downgraded. But if Michigan state wins this game, there is a chance that Michigan state can get a two seed.
Right now, looking at the bracket matrix, the majority of the brackets have Michigan state as a two seed. Michigan state loses this game, though, let's say. And then they lose in the big 10 quarterfinals or semi-finals or finals. Are they still going to be a two seed? Or do they drop down to a three seed if there's a good performance by one of these like potential three seeds in their conference tournaments? Like if Iowa State has a big conference tournament, let's say it's Purdue that winds up knocking out Michigan state or Purdue goes on to the big 10 championship game. Does Purdue go from the three line to the two line? Does the team like Nebraska in the big 10? There's still a lot that's up for grabs here. Does where does Gonzaga fall? They're going to win the West Coast. I think Michigan state has more to gain here with a win than Michigan has in this game. So I would lean towards taking the points here with Sparty in this final game of the regular season. I'm Scott Saddenberg, always on Twitter at Scott's on air.
SCOTTS, O-N-A-I-R. You know, it's all on the network. At VC in live, coming up next, we're going to get into the world baseball classic Rowan Cavanaugh from Fox Sports, covers Major League Baseball. We'll join us on the program, the United States, with a win over Great Britain here on Saturday, improves to 2 and 0 in the tournament. I mean, they're massive favorites to win the pool. Matt there were minus 110 before the tournament even started to win the tournament. But in terms of what we have seen so far, what are the bets to be made, not just for the Sunday games, but also for the future of this tournament as we progress into the elimination round. Because I think there's a team out there. I think there's a team that is not getting enough love in the market. And I'm very curious and very eager to bet this team. Not just coming up here on Sunday, but also in maybe another game or two coming up here. We'll get to that and more coming up next. I'm Scott Saddenberg, once again,

These sports betting network. It's got Saddenburg here with you cash and out on Vsyn. The sports betting network. Congratulations to the United States with a 9-1 win over great Britain improves the 2-0 at the world baseball classic. It's been fun to watch the first couple of games. It's curious to see once the competition level gets a little bit better and a lot of bit better honestly to see how the US team handles it. Tarek's school will pitch then it was kind of like that scene from Major League 2 when Rick Wilde thing Vaughn goes out there in the bullpen session and he throws one pitch and then he tells Jake Taylor that's it. I'm good for today. He's like after one pitch. Well Tarek's school will through his pitches and he said I'm good for the tournament guys. That's it. I'm good. So he will not be pitching anymore for team USA and they'll have to rely on some other arms as well as we move on through the next rounds. The pitchers will have more allotment. More pitches to throw. It was only 65 pitches in the opening round anyway and then it'll increase
and then increase again once we get into the championship rounds. Let's continue the conversation here about the world baseball classic though. Joining us right now on the Progressive Guest Line from Fox Sports is Rowan Cavanaugh. Rowan thanks so much for giving us a couple of minutes here on cash now. What have you made of the tournament so far? How have you enjoyed watching the first couple of games? Yeah it's been fun. I don't think there's been any huge surprises. You know I think you look at it was always kind of a top three that you saw you know they're obviously team USA putting together the best team we've ever seen maybe on a baseball field. I know for the first half of the first couple games it maybe hasn't looked like that and then you've sort of seen that happen again but just an incredible team that they have obviously and you know Japan's the international leaders until prove and otherwise they haven't really given you a reason. I know Korea kept it close with them but haven't really given you a reason to think otherwise there. And then Dominican Republic I mean that lineup is just so stacked really bad showing in the last time out. It sounds like they're pretty motivated just a really fun team to watch when they're clicking and they do seem to be clicking.
And so right now and I guess Venezuela is kind of the other team where I feel like those three are kind of in their own bracket and then Venezuela is almost it's other separate bracket too. Clearly I think the fourth best team in this tournament. And so you look at it you know Venezuela is undefeated. Dominican Republic is undefeated. Japan is undefeated. USA is undefeated. Puerto Rico with a really fun finish to that one and you know we hadn't seen any I guess you know what I make of it we hadn't ever seen a walkoff home run in this tournament before which is kind of crazy to think about. We've had two today so that's really the fun stuff here and when it's in Puerto Rico for that to happen that was just electric so I think that's the other thing here it's it's it's such an international game but when you see these places when you have you know San Juan hosting games and you have Puerto Rico playing there and you just see how into it everybody is that's an atmosphere you just can't really replicate a lot of other places. Yeah and it's exciting once we do get everybody together for the elimination rounds and you do get those fans whether it's the Puerto Rican fans or the other Latin American fans that do come to the ballpark and they start banging their drums and making noise and it does
show the American fans that are watching on television that's like hey this is different than what we're used to seeing when we're watching the Yankees take on the Dodgers let's say or something else so it is really fun I do enjoy it from that aspect of it the odds to win now they have changed a little bit despite nothing really changing the standings the United States was minus one 10 to win the tournament coming into it now it's minus one 15 the Dominican Republic though has overtaken Japan as the second favorite at plus 350 Japan right there next to them though at plus 380 and Venezuela at plus 700 I've long said Rowan there's no value in betting the United States at minus one 15 like listen you're better off just betting the United States in their quarter final game then mechanical parlay roll over your winnings and bet them in the semi final roll over your winnings and bet them in the championship game I promise you you're going to do better than the minus one 15 and oh there's a chance that they lose there's a chance that someone beats them if there is a hiccup along the way from the United States who is the team that does
give them that upset loss yeah I mean I I don't think you're worried about pool plan I know again I mentioned it I think you're watching you know it's the eighth inning of the Brazil game and it's a three run game I know you look at at the blow at the end and when Brazil walks 17 batters at some point that's going to come back to bite but then you even look at the middle innings of the great Britain game and they're chasing great Britain I mean the end results are what we thought they would be but getting there certainly hasn't been I I think they've yet to kind of really put a full game together I'm not too concerned about that happening I still think they're going to you know cruise out of pool B but yeah once you start to get to to you know quarter finals semi semi finals yeah I think like I mentioned it the two teams before it's the Dominican Republic in Japan and you know I put together some some power rankings before the tournament and I had DR second just ahead of Japan and and maybe that's unfair Japan it just been so dominant in international play but from the pitching side for them just maybe not quite what it was in in 23 they're still
stacked offensively and and it's just such a cohesive group that Japan has and you know you see Seia hitting bombs and and you know Yoshida and the MPB stars they have are are really incredible I'm not at all worried about that offense I don't know if they're they have the depth to win it again this year I'm obviously they could they're a top three team year but I just think that DR lineup when that group is is clicking and motivated and in it the way that they they seem to be that is a team that can put runs up really really quickly then as well also not to be messed with so I think you're looking toward kind of the semi finals finals that either of those teams that those line-ups get hot can can really cause problems I'm curious to see what happens in pool sea I know Korea is playing right now I don't know if that's wrapped up they have a really interesting offense that I don't know if they have the pitching to really be a huge surprise where we're talking about semi finals or finals or really upsetting but if they get through their offense has some punch and
and I think we've been underrating Australia before this I mean they almost made it to the semi is in the last tournament now they're two and oh they don't have the pitching to win this whole thing but an interesting team there I know I've kind of I feel like I'm bouncing around quite a bit here but the other two teams I'm interested really interested in are Canada and Italy you look at kind of the MLB talent especially that they have in the lineup I think it leaves a real threat to be the runner up in pool B I know Mexico is probably favored there but they had some drop outs toward the end and that Italy lineup has a lot of really interesting pieces you know Noah's part of that group now too on the pitching staff so that'll be interesting to see who ends up being the runner up in that group I'm glad you brought up Italy because they're the team that I think is not getting enough love here in this tournament we're talking to Rowan Cabner from Fox Sports writer for MLB I'm Scott Saddenberg this is cashing out here on Veson we don't have a line up just yet for their game coming up against the great Britain but I'd be interested in playing
the run line here on Italy to be great Britain they they have an MLB player at every position and they got some young talent on this team they have some boppers as well it's not just about drinking the espresso and the dugout here Rowan this team has this team has talent and it's I think's being overlooked here granted they didn't play anybody like they played Brazil that was that you know that they blew them out just like the United States blew them out right but I think that they're going to have a nice time here an easy time a great Britain and then when they face the United States I got to be honest I think I'm going to take the runs with team Italy I think they can put up runs and I think if you've looked at what's happened so far I know you know that you mentioned you know schoolboy that's what he needs to do and gets kind of doing it last two games to see a lead off home runner couple times surprising to see Brazil be able to put up five runs I know again it was a blowout but that's was surprising for me to see I don't expect that necessarily to continue but yeah I do expect Italy to be able to put up runs regardless
of of who that team is facing even against the U.S. I wouldn't be surprised if they're able to at least play a few here but yeah that that lineups for real I mean I you know I know we look at Pascantino but you know they have Marcia they have Kyle Teal who was had an incredible year can zone was underrated and just an absolute bomb in this last game so these are real players and I think kind of the big wild card here is is caglione who I know struggled in his first taste of the majors but we know the the power that he possesses the raw power he has and the potential he has it'll be really interesting maybe this is the time where he kind of puts it together on this stage you can kind of take that into the the 26 season but yeah there's some real guys on this team and I said it I think you know there's a clear top three I think there's there's a clear four Venezuela I think Mexico and Puerto Rico are probably kind of on the same level and then you just have this this kind of grouping here where I'm looking at teams like like Italy like Canada who I would not be surprised if if they're able to make a run I would probably put Korea in that
that little bucket too I think one team it's kind of interesting they're just no one really I feel like we don't know a whole lot about it's Cuba you know I we just don't see these players very often they have an awesome they have an awesome closer they have some interesting players I don't think they're quite as good as they were before but that's just a team we don't I feel like we don't really have a a a great grasp on but ride on Martinez was was one of mpb's most dominant closures they have a couple real guys so I'm interested to see how they do yeah you and I United States takes on Italy that game coming up on Tuesday night and I'm telling you I will be taking the run mine on team Italy in that game against the United States they row and appreciate the time and the insight will continue to read your work over there at Foxburgs and enjoy the rest of this tournament awesome there you go enjoy it there he is Rowan Kevin are joining us here on caching out I'm Scott Saddenberg you hit me up on Twitter at Scott's on air hit us on the network at vc live coming up next get back into the college basketball conversation we have a busy slate of games here on Sunday the man they call hoops Greg hoops Peterson will join
me coming up next on the program get his take on his handicap on the games coming up here on Sunday in college basketball I'm Scott Saddenberg this is cash and app right here on vc the sports betting network welcome back to caching out here on vc and these sports betting network always on twitter at scots on air and at vc live we are joined now on the progressive guest line by our very own Greg hoops Peterson you catch coast to coast hoops wherever you get your podcasts from read Greg's daily write ups up on vc and dot com as we talk college basketball and Greg it was an exciting Saturday here which saw in my opinion you know what I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do is I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do is I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do was an exciting Saturday here which saw in my opinion you cons opportunity to get a number one
seed go out the window now I know there might be an argument saying well they could still run through the biggest tournament right and win and then you're looking at you know Duke Arizona Michigan and you can as the fourth number one seed I think you cons lost first off to Creighton a couple of weeks ago or a week and a half ago and then losing to market here on Saturday which gave Saint John's the outright Big East title I think that loss eliminated you con from the number one line what do you think Greg I think so I was even asked about this with Femi a buffet about a week or two ago on I believe it was one the shows it might have been live but Saturday but I remember he was asking me do you think that you con or Florida might get that final number one I kept saying Florida mainly because you knew that Florida was going to be able to get more opportunities at quality wins because out there in the Big East you've got you con Saint John's and Villanova is probably your low another lock for the NCAA tournament maybe seeing all gets in there but they've been flailing down the stretch as well you mentioned that Creighton loss that was rough for them and then
losing to market today I'm a man from the great state of Wisconsin market has been absolutely terrible this year like that is an indefensible loss right there and for Florida they just I continue to say this they are not the best team in college basketball but they might have the highest ceiling of any team in college basketball the way that the guards have given you had nothing whatsoever they're finally starting to find it a little bit more from three four inch boogie fland has been looking better and better by the game the out there in the SEC Florida's not just winning games they're winning games big we saw what they were able to do against Kentucky here on this Saturday I do believe that Florida's going to be able to get that final number one seat all right Greg so here's the bet because let's project out the seeds and let's give Duke Michigan Arizona and Florida the four number one seeds well there's odds out there different sportsbooks offer it I've seen it anywhere from minus one eighty five to even north of minus two hundred will I number one seed win the NCAA tournament so I'm basically saying you have those four teams or the field what are you
betting I would have to lay the juice I probably wouldn't want to go much past minus two dollars but I mean it's really hard to see anyone outside those top four teams really being a shall we say big competitor to be able to win the title now could a team be able to make the final four like a Yukon yeah I could see them making a final four but if you put Yukon up against any one of those four teams and say a final four matchup I'm going to favor any one of those four teams like maybe and I would say makes a little bit run but they've been looking awful down the stretch Purdue is just object all over themselves I don't know why I feel like his interesting team but they've been like your buddy at the bar every single time they get into a close game they can't close maybe Michigan sake can give you a little bit of something but I don't know if they have enough offense to be able to win the title so I would be looking at those top four teams that's what I said I said you know it's cute when people want to talk about the long shots and they want to say I like this team at twenty five to one I like this team at thirty to one save your money they're not winning the national championship and especially in this new era of college sports
that that we exist in Greg it's not as shocker that last year we had four number one seeds in the final four and it's not going to be a shocker if it's the same exact thing this year and if you asked me am I taking those four teams or the field I'm taking those four teams because if you look analytically we're seeing Duke and Michigan in particular put up numbers that we haven't seen in decades like nineteen ninety nine was the last time on Kenpon we had a team go into the NCA tournament with a net rating above forty coincidentally that was Duke and that's what Duke's going to do this year and Michigan could do it as well we're talking about historic numbers these teams are putting up oh we definitely are and I you remember me last year getting a little bit admonished for the fact that I took four number one seeds to the final four but low on the hold that was absolutely correct now could we see a little bit more upset a little bit more parity this year absolutely because I do think that unlike the three lines the four lines there are some teams are looking very fragile right now like Kansas I was state Houston you've got a lot of teams that
have been taking losses so I don't think that we're going to have quite as much shock as we did a season ago I do think that perhaps like I was saying in Illinois in Michigan state if the draw breaks right they catch one of these seams on a bad day they could be able to make a final four as well that said I think that you're probably going to be seeing at the very minimum two one seeds be able to make the final four if not right three like I said probably not four but I do think that those top four teams very clearly are headed shoulders above the rest of the country looking ahead to tomorrow schedule here Greg Sunday we have a top 10 matchup number three Michigan number eight Michigan states the final game of the regular season they're in the big 10 Michigan's laying 10 and a half but what does each team have to play for Michigan's already clinched the big 10 regular season they're the number one seed in the tournament Michigan state has already clinched the double by so it doesn't matter if they're the two seed or the three seed in the big 10 conference tournament so what is really on the line here besides pride besides wanting to you know beat up on your rival going into the big 10 tournament how did you handicap this game yep and for Michigan
state I think it means a little bit more to them as well because if Michigan is not on the one line that would be a shock to everyone Michigan state they very much do want to be able to secure perhaps a two seed perhaps a three seed so they do so have a little bit of something to play for and I did take the place with Michigan state these interesting rivalries we do see a lot of times the underdog has quite a bit of value in them look at the Miami of Ohio versus Ohio game on Friday I and at North Carolina did not get the job done outright against Duke but if you took 17 F 18 F points he got there with them as well so I feel like the number is a little bit too big I semi-line at 8 F and a lot of it has to do with the way the Michigan state plays there's lore game I try to earn 80th in the country in terms of total possessions brand and they don't give you second chance it's a score in games played away from home teams grab 18.4% of their mishats as an offensive rebound that is number one the country top three team in terms of points a lot on a perfect session basis and they did not look good in the back after the game against Rutgers and don't think for a second that Tom is oh it's not going to utilize that as a coaching message to try to be able to get his team up for this game so to take the place here with Michigan
state and the under final of arch madness it'll be northern Iowa against Illinois Chicago there you and I minus two and a half total one twenty four and a half drag we know about the arch madness unders historically it's been a very profitable trend yes we had some overs in this tournament but it's still been profitable long term it's a low number here of one twenty four and a half what do you have in this match up there in St. Louis well right now I'm personally waiting on some live movement because I said my number one twenty five if I absolutely had to play this right now I would bet the one twenty four and after the over if it goes down to like one twenty three one twenty two and a half I'd be feeling a little bit better there I'm personally open this gets like you know one twenty six one twenty seven but I think that that's a very wishful thinking for the under by I'm going to be one way of northern Iowa I did set them as a three point favor because this team does an amazing job in terms of guarding the arch there at top 15 team turns upon its three point cheating percentage they play at slow as heck they're about to team in the country in terms of total possession spray and for Illinois Chicago they allow a lot of second in third
chances they're outside the top 270 in the country in terms of defense and rebound percentage they fed their own turnover issues not saying northern Iowa's amazing at generating tournaments but there are top one twenty five team with that regard I do think the northern Iowa goes out there gets a job done with a very experienced coach has been here before meanwhile for Illinois Chicago this is year two of their coaching regime right now as well so I do think that the experience factor with having Jacobson on the sidelines for northern Iowa big in this game will lay the two and a half high point a six and a half point favorite against Winthrop in the big south championship game who do you got the only team in the big south that has bail stand up to high point this season has been Winthrop I'm going to be taking the six half points Winthrop very lucky to be here we all remember what happened in that game against Charles's other act they were life and death on Saturday against Presbyterian but for Winthrop they just play sort of that drop zone system that has seemingly been giving high points of issues they put up over 85 points in both games against high points so they are able to score on this defense high point they're very generous they're very based around
turnovers there are top 15 team in terms of taking care of the ball themselves there are top 15 team in turnovers generated on a perverse basis Winthrop and games played away from top 25 team in terms of ball security I think that that's going to help them out along with having a big man and Logan don't come was we will be at 18 points nine rebounds and as we know these title games typically they're tight typically they're a little bit slowed down so I've seen a total of 164 164 and I have I like the under and the points with Winthrop. Hi Greg final thing which major conference tournament are you looking forward to the most this week? That is a good question but I do think that we are going to get some massive fireworks out there in the big 12 tournament obviously Arizona is going to be the favorite but what do we get out of Kansas what do we get out of Iowa State Texas Tech BYU the middle teams in that big 12 tournament are going to be a lot of fun to watch so I'm looking forward to that Greg appreciate the time as always continue success we'll be listening to the pod coast of coast hoops and we'll be looking forward to your right ups and analysis up on vsin.com always fun thank you so much Scott there he is our

back here on cash and out scott's i remember with you on v-sign the sports betting network always on twitter at scott's on air and at v-sign live as we take a look at the schedule here on sunday with some best bets and let's start in the NBA where we take a look at the matchups we have some marquee matchups a nationally televised matchups and the action gets started at one o'clock eastern time where the Celtics take on the Cleveland Cavaliers currently Cleveland a one and a half point home favorite and it's hard to imagine how much we're going to get from Jason Tatum in this game full disclosure i had under 12 and a half points in his first game on friday thinking that he wasn't going to play a full complement of minutes and it was going to take him time to kind of get his feet underneath him and it looked great in the first half you know what he was like oh of six from the field and i thought all right here we go uh Tatum's going to go under and then of course he um has 12 points hits a three and then comes out of the
game and finishes with 15 points so Tatum played 27 minutes 15 points on six of 16 shooting three of eight from three point range 12 rebounds seven assists in his first game back hard to kind of you know think we're going to get that similar type of performance i would think he plays a little bit more minutes but then again you never know like this was his first game back in ten months from the Achilles tear so does he had his body respond after one game after playing that full complement the minutes is he going to be okay here for this second game this is a marquee game this is going to be the um you know this is an eastern conference finals preview potentially Tatum's player prop is now 18 and a half so think about that it was 12 and a half in the first game now it is up to 18 and a half and obviously people seeing the volume of shots that he took in that first game and also the amount of minutes that he played and thinking that hey in game number
two he'll have you know a similar allotment of minutes i don't know if that's going to be the case i don't know i i can certainly speculate on the minutes they say no restrictions but again first game back is one thing now it's after having a Saturday to recover now you're playing an early one o'clock east you know one o'clock eastern time game on a Sunday how does his body respond do we see the same type of minutes this game probably also is going to be a little bit more intense than it was against the Dallas Mavericks in a runaway victory so a little hesitant here with Jason Tatum and the Boston Celtics but they are rightfully so the favor in the eastern conference and especially with Tatum coming back now they are the team to beat in the eastern conference elsewhere also on ABC nationally televised a 330 eastern time game the next taking on the lakers in la and the next right now two and a half to three point favorites i'm on the next in this game that the lakers have lost 12 straight games as an underdog and they haven't covered
any of them 12 straight straight up and ats losses this season as an underdog i'm not going to buck that trend let's continue to feed the lakers here as a dog and let's go with the next lay in the points i would imagine the pistons bounce back from what was a horrific performance against the brooklyn nets here on saturday they've lost two straight they've lost three straight now losing to the calves the spurs and the nets now they go to my army to take on the heat this is a game where you should win this is a game where you should win convincingly its pistons are passed for me here in this one but i got to imagine it's going to be a better effort than what we saw yesterday against the brooklyn nets a tanking team just just embarrassing to watch that performance i am very intrigued by the houston rockets and the san antonio spurs i would be back in the san antonio spurs this team is just a wagon right now this team is an absolute machine that i do not want to get in front of so i'm comfortable laying the five and a half points here with the san antonio spurs i think they roll here against the houston rockets and
i'm going to look for the charlatte hornets on tomorrow night going up against the phoenix sons they are an absolute fun team to watch and i think it's going to be a blast here checking them out against the phoenix sons a team that has been decimated by injuries all season and we'll see how healthy they are going up against this young fun charlatte hornets team here on sunday in college basketball we have a couple of games inside the top 25 i'm going to take the points here with michigan state sparty is a nine and a half point dog at michigan and it means more for michigan state now i know it's a rivalry i know obviously you want to win at home if you're michigan you want to end the regular season on a high note but michigan's already clinched the number one they've clinched the regular season title they clinched the number one seed here in the big 10 conference tournament michigan state is also clinched their standing here in the conference tournament like they are the double buy right so they're good like they got the double buy they don't it doesn't matter if they're the two seed of the three seed like they clinched their spot here so i want to take the
points here with sparty against michigan because they're still playing for something if michigan state if michigan loses this game it's not going to affect them they're going to be a one seed in the NCAA tournament but if michigan state wins this game they can lock themselves into the two line now if they lose this game and then lose in the big 10 conference tournament that's a whole other story maybe they drop down to the three line per se but i think that there's a real opportunity for michigan state with a big win here at michigan take to firmly put themselves on the two line here in the NCAA tournament so i am very intrigued by michigan state plus the points elsewhere in the big 10 number 11 Illinois lane 15 and a half at Maryland number nine Nebraska lane six and a half at home against Iowa i just don't like this Nebraska team at all to be honest with you so i don't really want a piece of them and then let's talk about the NHL and listen trade deadlines now in the rearview mirror teams are going to be motivated now for this stretch run about 20
games left in the regular season we have a fun one here in the afternoon the wild at the avalanche Colorado's minus 180 and this is this is an important game because it's like a measuring stick type of game for the wild to know that they can compete with the avalanche come postseason time because in the seven game series right now i have no interest in betting against the avalanche at all these two teams played each other about a week ago it was during that incredible stretch that the wild run with all these games going over and it was a stone cold under game for the majority of the game and then all of a sudden with five minutes left in the third period the teams combined for four goals pushing this total over the wild won the game five to two it would be avalanche or past for me in this one so and i would look towards the over again because the the avalanche i mean the wild are an over team couple of other interesting games on the schedule including tomorrow night the oilors are here in Vegas take on the golden nights and vgk's just been a shell of themselves
post Olympic break it really they have not been great the one one game which was before or when the Olympic players kind of didn't come back like that first game they took the game off and then they lose three straight they get the win against the red wings in overtime right and then they just go back to their losing ways against the Minnesota wild they're not right right now that's all i'll say they're not right right now and so it's hard for me to back them i'd be looking towards the over in this game the oilors they are giving up a ton of goals they are giving up a they just lost six three of the hurricanes like they are just giving up a ton of goals and i know vgk can score i know vgk gives up a ton of goals as well so the over is probably my favorite play in that game and then we have world baseball classic which continues here on sunday as the next few days are going to be pretty fun to see if some of these undefeated teams remain undefeated through pool play the United States is off to a two and i'll start one cover of the
run line in the nine and a half run line against Brazil they one by ten they did not cover the eight and a half run line against great Britain though they only won by eight in that game so looking at the games here on the schedule here for sunday i am very intrigued by team italy they take on great Britain that would be a team that i want to back i'm curious what the run lines gonna look like once it comes out i'd be interested in italy against great Britain this Italian team is better than what people are giving them credit for they are a team that has a major league or at every position they got some young talent they have good pitching major league pitching major league bullpen as well i'd be looking at italy to cover a run line here against great Britain it's not going to be as high as it was here for the United States when the US was eight and a half run favorites over great Britain but italy three and a half four runs uh i'm gonna bet that i actually like that so once that gets posted keep an eye out for that i'm going to be on team
italy against great Britain hey tomorrow start your betting day with the visa in weekend morning line at nine a.m. eastern time then it's ready set bet at noon at three p.m. eastern live bet sunday takes you through the biggest games and the best in game betting opportunities and that's where i will join you coming up tomorrow on live bet sunday as we take you through the college basketball slate the NBA slate will preview the night games of course and we'll give out some best bets for not just the games that are in progress but the games that are still to come on sunday night i'm scat satan berg you can always hit me up on twitter at scots on air scot ts o n a i r hit us all up on the network at v saan live we are counting down the days till selection sunday more tickets to the big dance will be punched here on sunday and i'll be back with you on live bet sunday to monitor it all in progress this is cashing out right here on v saan v sports betting network the toyota tundra and dakoma are built to keep going blending
