1:00This is Ready, set bet with Matt Brown and Mike Sommage on Fisand, these sports betting never. Matt Brown, back to you. Start now with Shohei Otani to win the NL MVP, Dodgers to win the pennant, Vlad Guerrero for AL MVP, and you added Hunter Green and Elsa Young in round four. I'm going to head to the Sion Market and go ahead and close this out on the AL side. I definitely like Scoobal and Crochet better. Maybe even DeGrom, if I actually thought he could stay healthy. I'll take Cole Reagan. I think the only guy that can really kind of match electric stuff with those guys at the top could be Reagan's. And there seems to be some Royals love here along the panel. So if they're going to win those bets, then Reagan's going to be a big part of that. So give me him at 13 to 1. That was me from our MLB futures draft, Mike Sommage, from earlier this week, in which I went in and took Cole Reagan's, and the deal was, with this draft, it was basically like any snake draft in anything you've done from fantasy sports.

2:00Like once something's off the board, it can't be repeated. And so, yeah, obviously, I like the guys at the top better. And do I think that there is a very real chance that Cole Reagan's goes in and upsets what we get from a Scoobal, a Crochet, probably not. And of course, we saw that DeGrom can do with the healthy season last year and all of that. But I do think from a pure stuff standpoint with Reagan's. Like we talk about dudes that can go in and approach that ridiculous K-Rate. They can keep the walk rate down a little bit. If we think this Royals team, and you seem to like this team, people in that panel seem to really like the Royals team. I hear a ton of buzz about the Royals team. If they can win that division, it's probably going to be because Reagan's has been that frontline number one dude for them and all of that. And so, again, didn't love as much of the other guys. But I think at that point in the draft at 13 to 1, to come in and still be able to secure him as a guy that I actually think could win this award.

3:01Whereas once you get past that, I think you're just, I'm not going to say you're drawing dead. But I think you're drawing very, very, very slim. But I do think there's a world where Reagan's can come out and be a very dominant pitcher here in 2026. Yeah, I mean, look, he's an interesting guy. If you go back and you look at what he did two years ago, he had 4.9 wins above replacement. He had 223 Ks in the 67 walks. Last year, obviously struggled with injury, but his walk, their K-to walk rate went from 3.3 to 4.9. If you can reinvigorate that 220 K season, but have that K-to walk rate at 5. He's going to be very, very good. And this offensive lineup also is going to give him more support than what he saw two years ago when he was pitching for this royals team, which means that you should be able to translate that into wins as well. So he's someone where I think he's outside looking in. I kind of agree with your assessment. I wouldn't go any further down the board if I'm looking at AOSI, young. But he has the physical tools to be able to do it. The question is going to be health. And is that K-to walk rate last year, again, which was 4.9,

4:02his best of his career? Can he do that over a full season and still have the dominance that he had two years back when he was fully healthy? If that all comes together, then look, 13 to 1 is going to be live when you get later into the season. That's kind of the way that I looked at it with all that with the draft. And if you guys didn't catch it, it's over on YouTube if you want to watch the whole thing. But, you know, I started out like I was, I had the sixth pick. I actually was pretty bummed. I got the sixth pick. I thought that was going to be the worst pick basically in in the draft, right? There were 10 drafters. I was going to one miss out on the what I considered to be the top five picks in in the first place. And then you go so long between picks every single time that is like I was going to get wiped out. I was very happy that Shohei in LNVP was sitting there for me at pick six. Because again, this is about winning these things. You're trying to get ROI. And as we can't continue to say over and over and over and over and over and over again, without injury. And I know it's a big if, but without injury, he's going to win the award. I mean, he hits and pitches.

5:02I mean, he's going to have 40 plus home runs and he pitches. I mean, like the guy is going to win NVP so long as he doesn't get hurt for a long stretch of time. He can even miss a couple of weeks and still win NVP like he just has to he has to avoid major injury. Yeah, it's interesting with these drafts. You want to try and construct it so that you have a couple that you're like counting on. That you can get the win. You can book the win and then you want one of the long shots to come in. Because if you can go three and oh, four and oh and those minus one 10 to minus one 50 markets and then have one 13 to one, you're going to be in a very good situation to come out with the best overall drafted team. And that's kind of how you constructed this year. I know you like the Orioles win total over. I know you like the Yankees under. And if you can get those two home and the Dodgers win the pennant and Shohei wins NVP. If you get any of your other selections home, you're going to have the best ROI in this draft. Yeah, that's kind of how I structured it. I know that there were people who were kind of taking longer shot stuff early or on. And for me, that's where the game theory comes in, right? Like you and I done a bunch of game theory stuff poker in the past and fantasy and all

6:04sort of that. Like I'm I was like, okay, if this is how they're going to go, then I'm just going to go this direction because I'm going to try to just win then. If they if they want to go with starting off in round one with nine to ones and 11 to ones and things like that that were going the first round, I'm like, okay, well, then I'll just go chalk and and try to win because I mean, ensure if you if they hit one of these, they're going to be they're going to be a head on of me. But do I honestly believe that Shohei wins NVP nearly Mike? What would you say nine out of 10 times so long as he maybe more than that so long as he doesn't miss a ton of time with injury? Yeah, I mean, I nine out of 10 seems a little aggressive. But at the same like I would say it's probably closer to 75% of the time because maybe he has a down here. I don't think he's going to, but it has to at least be factored. Maybe someone comes out of the clouds and absolutely smashes in the NL again, something I don't think is overly likely. Like to me, the AL and judge much more risky than the NL with Otani. But I like again, to your point, when you're sitting in the six spot especially,

7:09you kind of want to just get a winner. And this feels like it was one of the most likely winners on the board that was sitting in that position. So I started out there then went Dodgers to win the pennant. That was kind of like the correlated play there in that one. And then I wanted to go to these scarce markets and over in the the Sai Young and NVP markets and things like that, like, you know, I think that there was a decent amount of scarcity. And so I didn't want to get further that much further down the board than Vlad Jr. from an MVP standpoint over in the AL is judge the favorite and likely to win it. Yes, obviously, of course, but like you just said, I think that that was a little bit more open than it is over in the NL because judge doesn't pitch as well. And so I didn't want to get too much further down the board than Vlad as far as real contenders who could actually win the award to put up the type of numbers to get that done. And then on the Sai Young side with 100 green, you know, obviously skeens is your dream pick in that one. He is going, he is very, very likely to win it if he stays healthy as well. He is filthy. He is nasty. And the pirate team is probably going to be better. But you do look at the stuff, just the pure stuff that hunter green possesses.

8:15And his K rate rocketed up last year because in his walk rate went down a little bit like, could you say that his stuff, it's not the same as skeens, but could you say that it is at least on par with how electric skin stuff is? I think you could. And so again, just didn't want to get too far down the board. We're really, I'm just putting in a pick that has no chance of winning. At least I feel like there is some chance of this getting home. I'm a little disappointed in this one, Matt. We made a promise to each other. We weren't going to get sucked in by the reds this year. I know. And here you are. I know sucked in by one of the red starting pictures. And for me, it's Nick Lidolo for you. It's 100 green. We can't quit him. I know. We said we wouldn't do this. And here you are. Before the season even starts, it's my fault. There's nothing I can do about it. And then Don Kelly, manager of the year, of course, he's the manager there for the pirates. A team that, you know, you and I have talked about this like multiple different times over the course of the off season. It's just they made some additions. And like outside of schemes, if Bubba Chandler is even remotely close to the hype that that he got in the minors.

9:17And although there's, I don't think they're going to be like, air quote, good. I think they are easily could be at 500 T. I think they could beat their win total by 10, 12 wins. And if that's the case, then Kelly is probably going to be at least in the conversation. Well, especially if the Cubs for some reason don't play like they should this year. If the Cubs have an off year, that division's wide open. And all the sudden 85 wins could take it. Right. And that, that's something that is at least achievable for the pirates if they absolutely reach their ceiling. So I don't, I don't hate that number. Attend to one either.

10:21So to kind of recap the draft here for me, also close things out Mike with and then these, these are the ones I waited really late on because I just felt like they were deeper where it was division winner world series winner and rookie of the year because mainly if you didn't get the Dodgers and you didn't get the Yankees, then what am I rushing to get a world series winner? Well, you know what? I'm not really rushing to get a world series winner. And like we know rookie of the year is the most the most random award that that there is, right? I mean, like whether a rookie is going to perform or not is so incredibly random. That being said, I did pick a guy in the Al because I didn't want to go up against Conner Griffin because he seems like the real deal. Like he seems very, very, very legit. So I didn't want to go against him in the NL. So I at least picked an Al guy and chased the water. But I went Red Sox division winner and then correlated it with Red Sox world series win. Again, these were like last round picks for me and stuff, but it was just they were available. I still think they're a good team for sure. And the upside and any I believe you and I were to run our Sims, even though we don't we don't have our own simulator. If we ran

11:25our Sims, the world, the Red Sox would win that division and they would win the world series X percent of the time for sure. They're not dead. I mean, this is this is your kicker and defense of the draft, right? Where it's like, yeah, but like if you want to go ahead and you want to take Brandon Aubrey two rounds earlier than me, take the kicker, that's fine. Go ahead and do it. I think there's more upside in the back half of this. And if I don't get the Dodgers, to me, the Yankees, I wouldn't even consider slightly. If I didn't get the Dodgers, I'd be like, after that, dark between 10 teams is fine with me. Yeah. That's kind of the direction I went with all that. I liked the way that the draft broke for me. Actually, all things considered that I was in the six slot that I was actually kind of dreading, but the strategy that other people use and I get it. Look, if they hit one of these longer shots and I'm dead, because you know, I mean, so it's just it's the nature of the beast, but they're longer shots for a reason. And so I kind of kept a little bit closer to the vest with that strategy. Once I saw the strategy that was being deployed by everybody else, I'm like, Oh, all right, I'm, they're sick and I'm in a sack. You know, and so I went the opposite direction and just kind of went with what I thought might be the higher ROI strategy of this draft. So we'll see how it all plays out. It would be a fun deal.

12:29And guess what? We won't know that we won't know until, until November, right? I mean, like, seriously, because they don't know the awards until like way late or so. Yeah. Well, we'll tell you there was one this thing and in November, whenever we come back, let's get to the guardians.

USA is taking on Belgium on Saturday, March 28th at 2 p.m. Eastern. USA versus Portugal, Tuesday, March 31st at 6 p.m. Eastern live on TNT and HBO Max. Welcome back to ready set bet with Matt Brown and Mike Sommage on Vsyn. Please force Betty Network. Pretty set bet here on Vsyn heading overtime Arkansas on Missouri 74, a piece there, Mike Sommage. So we will need a little bit extra time to decide whether Missouri covers. Over time where dogs go to die. If you had Arkansas here, you are probably not happy with the current scenario because I felt like they were going to cover this game, especially after what we

14:33saw in that early 15 point first half lead. And now we are headed to overtime 74 74 close to 2.5. We will see if Arkansas can stay within that number. We said Yukon surprisingly only up to over Marquette at the half. How about surprisingly down seven with 11 50 left in the second half. They are being outscored 19 to 10 here in the second half. Mike Sommage against again, not your Marquette team of old. No, not a great Marquette team at all. Currently six and 13 in the big east, which by the way, probably getting three in the tournament, like not a good big east and Marquette been struggling all season long. So surprising score there. We'll see if Yukon able to find a way to grind back here and erase a seven point deficit with 12 minutes left in the second half. Once down 10 points and there were a couple of guys who host a radio show on this network. I don't know who they are, but said, you know, maybe this is the time to get in on Houston. Wind by seven. They come all the way back in and win this thing by seven over Oklahoma states. So Houston 82 to 75 there on the road over Oklahoma state and Virginia where they 16 point half

15:3916 point lead at the half. Winds by four against Virginia text. They do hold on 76 to 72. But squander that massive lead. They had at the half that claw scratch. Do what they had to. A win is a win is a win, Mike. So I mentioned so Virginia 76 to 72 of Virginia tech. Yeah, this is one of the nice parts about the college basketball season. They don't have to be pretty. As long as they go in the wing problem, it that's all that really matters at the end of the day here. So Virginia 27 and 4 going to be able to put one up over those in-state rivals in the version. Virginia tech Hokies, we'll see what they're able to do in the ACC tournament coming up next weekend. We've got the leaders teed off now over at Bay Hill. So we'll see what can go on with Daniel Berger. It took, it did not take very long for that regression. I was talking for Octavia to set in. He is one over through two. He is now tied with Ludwig and Sahi Thagalla and now Sep Strocca, who is four under through seven on the day. We have seen a bogey from Colin

16:39Mora Calla. Ricky Fowler is even on the day. Russell Himmley has a birdie on his card, a couple for Chris Goddrup as well. So we are seeing this leaderboard consolidate in the middle. But there's a giant gap there between Daniel Berger and the rest of the field. He holds a six stroke lead currently over everybody. We will see if he can hold this one and keep things together. Mike, like we said, he has been green across the board. He has not been green across the board for a whole tournament in a couple of years. So Daniel Berger trying to kind of get back to what we've, you know, Daniel Berger used to be a guy that I bet all the time four years ago, you know, four or five years ago and stuff. And then it just kind of faded after the injuries hit. So maybe he's all the way back. We'll find out. Yeah, it's going to be a fascinating top five top 10 market right now. You mentioned how condensed it is. Berger out by five strokes, but there are 16 players who are between four under and seven under. And if you expand that out to three under, you've got 23 players who all are still in contention for those top five and top 10 bets that people may love to make, heading into these tournaments. Cleveland Guardians, back to back AL central titles,

17:43just pulled off, just pulled off. Like, I mean, what can you say about last season? I don't even know it's, I don't even know what to say about last season. Winning games, no business winning. I don't know what they did credit to them. They got it done. It is, it is what it is. But definitely the clear number three team heading into the season in this division behind, solidly behind the Tigers and the Royals. But it's not like this team is devoid of talent. I mean, Mike, I mean, it's a, it's a team for me that if you look kind of up and down, yeah, you don't love really anything, but I don't know if you hate really anything. It's just, it's just the Guardians. There's another way to explain it. It's like, it's like, here's the Guardians. This is, this is what the Guardians are. Aren't the Guardians like the, the Pittsburgh Steelers of the baseball. Yeah, it's just like you look and you can't hate it, but like, you don't love it. Yeah, it's because like, you got Jose Ramirez, right? It's awesome. You,

18:46right? But which is your TJ? That's your TJ Watt, you know, whatever. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, it's just, I don't know how they, I don't know how they did what they did last year. I have no idea how they were able to come back. Tiger's obviously collapsed. That helps. But at the same time, this is a Guardian scene that I didn't think was able to put together the second half. Neither did the markets, by the way, as they were, I believe it was 1560 to 101 point to win the division. You, you don't see that very often in Major League Baseball. I mean, the lineup is fine, right? You got here is a bunch of other dudes that are okay. You've got, you don't chase the lotters. Got the upside. So there's that. But like, not anything. I'm really like jumping for joy about here on the offensive side. You look at the pitching staff and it's, it's Gavin Williams up top, Tanner BB, Logan Allen. Like, okay. But not inspiring either. Like to me, clearly, the third best team in this division and would need a little bit of more of that, that voodoo magic to be able to compete with the top two. Yeah. It's, it's a very interesting deal. Joey Cantillo is a super interesting guy. Has kind of that like high 20s, low 30s,

19:55K upside for them. And if he were to kind of blossom here in his first full season of being a full-time starter for them, that could be interesting because like Williams and Bobby is a nice one to not a great one to put a nice one to. And then if Cantillo can get there, then now you're four and five slot isn't that all that bad. Kate Smith obviously is a good great reliever and he'll, he'll be a good closer for them and all that. It's just, they're middle. I get why they're win totals, what it is. I get why they're, I mean, everything about them. A win total sitting at 80 games to make the playoffs is like plus two 30. All these, they are the most middling team. There is like, this is the definition of a middling team. Yeah. I like, and in not a great division, that's the other part. Like, there are two clear of bottom feeders in this division. I guess the twins aren't a clear bottom feeder. But we'll get into the twins and the weights a little bit later. But yeah, this is, it's one of those teams where the numbers are right. I mean, like, this isn't, I'm not like running to the window to bet the under, but I'm sure as heck not,

20:56running to the window to bet the over and I have no interest in make the playoffs at plus two 30, plus two 90s, a little too steep to lay. So this is one of those teams where I've probably interested in some unders early in the season, especially at home. We've seen that as a pretty common trend for specifically when they're playing in Cleveland, you're not seeing the ball fly out of that stadium early in the season. Maybe you pivot to overs if you do see a chase really getting going on the offensive side. But this is a team I'm much more interested game by game than anything I want to put in preseason. Yeah. And I mean, you know, the manual class I think is, still out there. I mean, I don't think that it's going to be a huge distraction for this team, but that case is certainly going to happen at some point this this year. So that's going to be out there. You also are down one of the most dominant closures in the game. So there's that as well too, right? I mean, there's the class I was as automatic as there was for a few seasons there. And now you don't have him. And so I think there's a lot here. If you're talking about like,

21:57we said wheels fall off scenario for the Tigers early. If there's a wheels fall off scenario here, that this bullpen that had been very good for several years, there's all this unrest and everything. It's just it's blowing games left and right. The offense isn't quite good enough to overcome the bullpen not being sharp. And all I said, I do think there is also a a wheels fall off scenario for for the Guardians for sure. Oh, yeah, 100%. I mean, if Ramirez gets hurt, it's this offense, right? Like that right away, that's a big huge issue. You don't have a stopper on the rotation. That's a big problem. This is this is a team that could really struggle. If they don't aren't able to stay healthy and they're not able to get their bats going, and they're not buyers. They've never been buyers. They're sellers like, you know, so it's like, it's a team that's never been buyers. So if anything, they go the opposite direction at the deadline. It's unlikely that they're going to be within shouting distance of like either the Tigers, the royals, most likely will be well in front of them come to deadline, which makes them even less incentivized to go out and to buy. It's just a team that to me is just dead middling. And we talked

22:59about like, look, the Tigers have a high floor high ceiling, right? The royals have a high ceiling. This is a low floor low ceiling. Yeah, they could go bad. And the ceiling is probably 85 wins. Like I don't see the world they're getting to 90. No, I would, yeah, I think you were being, I think you were dead on with that. It's like, okay, seven and a half. One seems definitely right. But the floor, certainly, I think could be low 70s. They could they could they could be they could be a stinker. If like says, certainly from here, it's saying they haven't him then game over. Watch out. But this is not a great rotation. As it sits right now, the bullpen, there's like question marks about all of that. And they do have some do like Reese Hoskins is going to have to perform for them, right? Like, I mean, like there's bow nailer and all this like these, you know, said, but these are guys are going to have to be major contributors. We mentioned Chase De Lauder. Like, I mean, I think he's got super high ceiling. But again, he's a, we see rookie fell all the time. Like we see, we see, we see them not adjust to the majors

24:01all the time. See Orioles. It's like four different prospects that have come up with after destroying the minors and not been able to produce in the majors. It's funny because you can hear in your voice as you say these players names. You're lack of belief in them. It's like, oh, nailer, like, you can just kind of know that you're like, I don't really think this is going to work. And I'm with you. Like, I don't see, I don't see where this really absolutely takes off. They could win 80 games. I'm not saying like just hammer the under. You're like I said, I think it's a good number. But man, like, there's just if everything goes perfect for them, I don't think they can get to 90. I don't think they can win the division. Yeah, I'm waiting. This is just this is about as the most stay away team. Maybe there will be that we talk about all offseason for me. I will have no bets on them. Don't plan to have any bets at all. Let's head to the ice with Mike when we come back. Welcome back to ready said bet with Matt Brown and Mike Sommage on V-Syn.

25:04These sports betting network. Pretty said, bet your home. Bees in these sports betting network, Matt Brown and Mike. Sommage keeping an eye on that Arkansas in Missouri game went to over time and we could be heading to double OT 51 seconds. I'm like 81 to 81. Nobody is going to try and win this game here and in overtime. No, we do a foul on Arkansas here. So I assume Missouri going to go to the line in this situation is they're both going to be over the bonus. They're heading into overtime. So we'll see still still on over high overtime dog death here. We'll see if I Arkansas able to stay inside that two and a half number. We talked about Yukon struggling with Marquette. The struggle continues. It is 58 to 49. And we're down to six minutes left in this thing. So if the number 14 in the land is going to keep that three losses in that in that column, Mike, we're going to need a rally. Yeah, and it matters. It absolutely matters right now there up for that fourth number one seed floor to the other team being in discussion to get on that line. A loss to Marquette not going to help the case here for Yukon is Florida surging toward the end of the season.

26:05I was state 23 22 early there against Arizona State. That's about halfway through the first half or eight minutes in Kansas 16 to 11 over Kansas State. 29 21 early on there about half a little over halfway through the first half Louisville over Miami. And we are at the 750 mark of the first half Vandy 22 Tennessee 11. So Vandy doubling up Tennessee right there again plenty of time even left in the first half there in that one guy.

Mike, when we when we left, there was only last time we updated. There was only one game going on in the NHL. That is still the case here as our next putt drop isn't for half an hour, but the capitals and the Bruins are at the 15 30 mark of the third period. One a piece each got a goal in the second. We are scoreless five minutes into the third. Yeah, interesting game here. The capitals sold at the deadline. The Bruins trying to make a push for the playoffs. Both of these teams like it feels like the capitals have kind of admitted. They're not going to make it. The Bruins need to win right now because they are in a massive race right now for those last one or two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. We've already gone to the track, but we know Mike Sommage likes himself some ice hockey as well.

28:12So let's head to the ice. It's time to ask Mike Sommage. What the Who's whoever is my cup. I yes, a repack a place for Mr. Sommage today starting with the Devils and the Rangers. Yeah, we're going to go to that noon puck drop here at Pacific three Eastern and we're going to look at the first period under. We've always talked about this later in the season. I like playing these first period under as especially between teams that are in the playoff hunt. And this is two teams that play good defensive style hockey. The Devils, one of the better first period under teams in the NHL. The Rangers not a jump out fast style team either. I like both of these teams from a defensive structure perspective, especially with an early puck drop here. So let's go first period under a goal and a half Rangers Devils minus one 10 to kick it off your map. Let's head to to Buffalo and I think you and Aaron Halterman on the opposite side of this one. We are on the same side. Just different directions. So Aaron, Aaron is going to lay the goal in a half with the Buffalo

29:14savers today. You can get that a plus one 45 if you want to go that direction. They're pretty decent size favorites taking on the predators at home right now minus 185 in the market. And the savers have been a very good home team 18 18 83 on the season here. But this is a Buffalo team that's played their best hockey over the last 10 or so games of this season. They went out. They made additions at the deadline added a forward and two defensemen. That really bolsters what they need. They needed to add defense at the deadline here. They went out. They did that. I think this is going to be a raucous home crowd throughout the rest of the regular seasons. They're currently tied for the division with the Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the sabers in regulation here. So I'm going to take the minus one 15. Aaron's going them winning by two or more plus one 45. I'm going to go a little bit less aggressive here. Minus one 15. The sabers get it done in regulation today against a floundering national predators team. And while we're at it, if we don't need any instant gratification, we're going to stick something in the account that we can try and catch a little bit later. Yeah. If you don't want to take this one, and we're 22 to one here on a future, the Ottawa Senators are plus 130 to make the playoffs.

30:19They're part of that race in the east to try and get in. For my money, I like the plus 130 as well. So if you want a little bit more of the instant gratification, that's only 20 games or so away. I do like the idea of taking them 22 to one to win the East here. I added this to my account a couple days ago. And when you dive into the Senators, their top five in Fenwick, of course, the top three in Fenwick, two of the more important defensive shot against perspectives, puck control, perspective stats in the analytical market on the NHL side. Their biggest issue here is expected goals against. They've given up 23 more goals this season than expected based on the shot charts and where those chai chance opportunities are coming from other sides. So you dive into the question, why is that? Well, they've started five goalies this year, Matt. Not most NHL teams don't start five goalies throughout the course of a season. Their number one goalie, Omar missed a full month in games that he's played. He is 18 and eight when they're five on five. Now, this is also a team that's struggled and over time. You don't play three on three over time once you get to the playoffs. So if this if this Senators team can get get in, they're very good from a defensive

31:22structure standpoint. They limit possession, they limit shots, and they do have the offensive talent to be able to score goals here. You need old marks to stay healthy. That's obviously a big key in this. You got to make the dance. But if they do in an Eastern conference where I'm not all that afraid of the top teams, I think Tampa is a very good hockey team. But to me, Carolina still has the same issues they had last year. I'd much rather look at a price here, try and take a shot with the team that has high upside when they are healthy. And that's something that we're seeing from Ottawa. There's seven one and two in their last 10. They're playing very good hockey right now. I love the defensive structure. I think this is a team that's very dangerous if they make the dance. So let's go with the Ottawa Senators 22 to one to win the Eastern conference playoffs. There we go. Sabers and regulation devils Rangers first period under and then stick a future in there for these Senators to win the East. Mike, I don't want to short change the last two teams here in the AL Central. But let's just be for real. The twins and the white socks are not going to win the division. It's just it's not going to happen. Even worse for the twins, Pablo Lopez goes down for the year for them with Tommy John. And so they don't even

32:25really have an ace. I mean, I guess you could say Joe Ryan is kind of like a like a ace light. He's kind of like a front end guy light. But outside of that, I mean, Bailey Overs, Simeon Woods Richardson, Taj Bradley and then Zeppie Matthews has ace stuff. He just has not shown that stuff in the majors yet. Now he could he could break out for sure. And so Zeppie Matthews could be a very nice starting pitch for this Minnesota twins team. But outside of that, the rotation doesn't give you much. Byron Bucston, we know he's going to get hurt at least three times over the course of the season. He's your best player. Then you go down that line up and you just go, okay, it's a bunch of just also rants, you know, on this team. I don't know how you get excited really at all about this team. It's just again, when your best when your best player can't stay on the field, Royce Lewis, another guy, huge prospect coming in that he can't stay healthy. Either your best pitcher might be a guy that hasn't proven it yet in the

33:26majors. It's just very, very tough for me to like the twins. I I'm kind of I'm actually really down on this team. And I think there might be a point where in season I come in and and just bang the under here on this team because it does seem like a team that could be sellers at the deadline. Actually, more likely to be sellers at the deadline if any of these guys can perform whatsoever for them. Yeah, this feels like an under team to me. And if they start out hot, I'll rebet the under because I just I don't believe in any piece of this this twins team. And to your point, I don't see a world where they're buyer, which means they are selling off pieces. And so even if you like Bucston is healthy, he's someone will be targeted at the deadline. And I wouldn't be shocked if the twins decide to move them, right? The rotation's a mess. I like Taj Bradley now being one of your, you're like, maybe your stopper if Matthews doesn't perform is a is a a problem. Like I just I don't like anything about this team. I don't like the white socks either. But the white socks win totals a lot lower than twins. So give me the under on the twins win total year. Yeah, I mean, Kareya gone, Durand gone, you know, Lopez, we just said Lopez gone for the

34:27season. There's just like not a lot to like really hear about this team at all. I mean, the the bullpen suspect it. I mean, yeah, I mean, it's not quite a net. It's not quite a F, but it's definitely a D, you know, if you were like grading the bullpins and stuff. So yeah, it's just it's a bummer. But it's just no case. Yeah, there's no feeling like there is no world where you can argue, well, if this guy breaks out and this guy pitches really well and these two prospects hit, there isn't that doesn't even exist in this case. And to me, that's the other reason why I like the team total under here, because I don't, I don't see how they outperform their post there, their projected record by five to 10 games. This is a team that I think it's all downside. And then as we know, I mean, and they did it with Durand, shipped him out as we know, if there's any of these guys in the bullpen that do go above expectation, they'll just be traded the deadline. Everyone needs bullpen arms at the deadline. I mean, like that, that's what everybody comes after. And that is what these tanking teams, well, I shouldn't say tanking,

35:27just struggling teams give up because that's just, you get a return off of a bullpen guy. So, yeah, I mean, this to me, really, really bad team.

USA is taking on Belgium on Saturday, March 28th at 2.30 p.m. Eastern. USA versus Portugal, Tuesday, March 31st at 6 p.m. Eastern. Live on TNT and HBO Max. Welcome back to ready set bet with Matt Brown and Mike Sommage on V-Syn. V-Syn, V-Syn sports betting network. Presented by your own V-Syn, V-Syn, V-Syn, V-Syn sports betting network, Matt Brown and Mike. Sommage, Mike, we get a run by Arkansas on the road and down goes Missouri as slight home favorites there. The razor backs. We talked about nobody wanted to win it in overtime. Well, they did. The 51 seconds, they go in an isolated run and they get take care of business there on the road. Yeah, like I said, overtime. We're underdogs pull out the outright victory, Matt Brown.

37:36Thank you. I heard you say like five or six different times on the course of the show. So yeah, it's a good thing you played out. When I'm catching four, when I'm catching three, I always want overtime. Good stuff. So that ended up getting home there. So news and nuggets over in the NBA, Kate Cunningham is out today versus Brooklyn. If you're one in VJ edge comb is out today versus Atlanta. So if you are betting those games, just understand that as you were going in and playing those, Mike, I did have a prop that we can just hit real quick. I want to make sure to get through everything here, but I played Yannis under his points today. And the reason being is is they're playing against Utah as 10 and a half point favorites. They have limited Yannis to 25 and 26 minutes in his return as it is anyway. They're supposed to blow this team out. This is a team that is openly tanking and trying to get as many ping pong balls as they possibly can. And so it's not necessarily that I don't think Yannis can score 27 points against Utah. I definitely do. It's I just don't know if he needs to or will or how long they'll leave him out there. Because like I said, since he's since he's come back,

38:39we are talking 25 minutes and then 26 minutes. And you know, again, in this game, I don't know if you're going to like keep him out there for a ton. So I took the under 26 and a half. Yeah, I like the look. I mean, it makes sense that the handicap behind it there. The jazz, like any game they are involved in is so hard to bet pre flop now. You just you know that they're going to try and lose if they have a lead at half time is what's hard to take like 10 and a half year against the box where if I do you got a jazz team with full effort, I would be taking the points, but I have no clue. Like so this is one of those situations where maybe if the jazz are up at half, you want to come in and take a box live money line like that. But jazz are such a difficult team to try and back in any way, shape or form and even play against because they are like having legitimate lineups out there for some of these first halves of these games. And then it's just a mess after that. Yeah. So for me again, it's it's not it's not about the matchup. It's not about any of that stuff. It's literally I'm I'm handicapping the fact that their star is two games back from injury after missing over a month and you're a big favorite in a game where why are

39:41you going to run him out for the 30 minutes when you don't need to? I mean, just doesn't make a ton of sense to me. No, it makes no sense. Yeah. And the bucks are trying to win for some god for sake of reason. They're trying to make playoff. Something like like I'm not bitter about that at all. That's fine. That's fine. It's funny because sometimes you make bets assuming the organization is going to be intelligent. I made it bet assuming the bucks would be an intelligent organization. I was wrong. They're not. They're still trying to figure out how to keep you honest in the offseason when let's be honest. They should have moved on from them two years ago. But here we are. Mike some news in the industry that didn't really get a ton of a ton of play mainly because it only affects people in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Michigan. But you and I just a name that was so so massive in our previous lives. Poker stars is going to roll into Fandall into the in those three states. And so people will play Fandall poker as opposed to Poker stars poker in Pennsylvania,

40:42New Jersey and in Michigan. And so with that, I think it's a pretty sharp move by both companies. You get people who maybe I know there is a lot of crossover between poker and sports betting, but maybe there are people who are playing on Poker stars that don't have a Fandall account and all of that. If you don't have one, you have to sign up for a Fandall account in order to continue to play poker on on the site and things like that. And so and for Poker stars, you just get you get access to a bigger player pool, obviously more marketing dollars, all the things like that. And so probably a win win, but something that will be interesting if online poker can actually get legalized in other states out there. And then this kind of becomes more of a thing. It is comical that prediction markets are legal and online poker is not like how we got to this spot. I don't know. Just give me back Poker stars. Just give it back. Come on. This is like, well, why did you take it away in the first place? You mean Fandall poker now. Fandall Fandall poker here in the United States. So that's what it will. Yeah. That's that's what it will. Yeah. Fandall poker. Give it all back.

41:46Poker should be legal online in the U.S. The White Talks last team for us to hit here. I actually think that this team is somewhat interesting. They have a super incredibly low win total in the 60s. Micah. I like it over. I like the white for one. You can't be just that. I mean, 67 wins to hit the under on this like 67 wins is a horrific, horrific season. And I actually think that there is some bright spots on this team. And yeah, you're going to need young dudes to play. I mean, listen, you are talking 24 year old, 24 year old, 24 year old, 26 year old, 26 year old, 30 year old, 25 year old, 23 year old is like your star. I get all that. Like, yeah, it's a super, super young team. But I mean, that's kind of why I'm excited. At least a little bit about this White Talks team. And I kind of like the over on their win total. I'm not going to lie. I think the 68 wins is certainly within the range of possibilities for a bunch of pretty highly pedigree. Like pretty good dudes like this white socks farm system was good. It's just they were too young to contribute

42:46for the couple of years. And why they've been so bad. And I don't know. I think I think that they're an interesting team to say that I kind of like a better than the twins. How about Chicago white socks to finish fourth in the division? Yeah. I mean, plus 300. Oh, well, then yeah. Right? Great one. Yeah. I think if we're like the fun part about having all of these new markets and all these different things to bet you get bets like this where it's like if you like the twins under and you like the white socks over, why not just take plus 300 on the white socks finishing fourth? I think that's a good way to look. I think that's a good bet that you can look out there as well. And listen, they're going to get some young arms come up as well. They've got some guys that I think they're only going to leave down in the minors for at least a little bit. And then they'll get them up as well. Pretty highly pedigree dues as well. Yeah, I think they're a super interesting team. I don't have a ton to say outside of that from a win total space. It's a super low win total. I'm saying I think when 68 games, I'm not saying a ton about the team whenever I say that, but they're not competing for the division, not doing anything special this year. But I do think that they could win some games and be a little bit pesky, a little bit feisty.

43:47Yeah, I'm not going to call them super interesting. I think they're not going to be interesting. But to your point, it doesn't take much to be able to get over that win total. And again, if the twins don't perform to that level, like 300 plus 300 and three to one, I'd rather bet that than the over because I if you if you have the same opinion on the twins as I do, you're getting three to one instead of even money. All right. We were going to Tampa Bay downs today. We got a call here in race number nine and race 11. Yep. Two races on the card here for pony up. We'll start out in race number nine. We're going to take the number eight and one more time six to one on the morning line coming off a absolutely brutal trip at Gulfstream Park today. No speed signed on. And that should be a very good thing for and one more time. I would not be surprised if this horse able to get the lead early and be able to go gate to wire in this spot. So we're going to go with the number eight and one more time race number nine at Tampa Bay downs. We'll fast forward to race number 11. The Tampa Bay Derby here. Five legitimate Kentucky Derby contenders in this spot. I'm going to go with the Puma who is eight to one on the morning line off a with some people called

44:49disappointing Sam F Davis. I think it was a much worse trip than people are giving a credit. We're switching back to the jockey and Javier Castellano who rode this horse the first time for this barn when he just finished just a length behind chief Wallaby who I have is my number one horse in the Kentucky Derby trail right now. I'll take a shot with the Puma here eight to one on the morning line for race number 11 at Tampa Bay, the Tampa Bay Derby. Over on the ice we have a first period. We have a win in regulation and then we also have a future Sam. Yeah, we're going to go Devils Rangers. This is a noon Pacific three o'clock Eastern puck drop. So this one gets going right after we get off the air. We're going to take the first period under with two defensively well structured teams in a game, which I think you're going to see playoff intensity here between across state border rivals here. So I I'm going to take first period under a goal and a half minus 110 Devils and Rangers. I like this Sabers team today against a Predators team. Sabers added at the deadline. The Predators kind of in no man's land here. Buffalo been one of the best teams in the NHL over those last stretch of games. I think Buffalo gets the job done in regulation

45:49late minus one 15 there instead of the minus 185 on the money line. And then the Ottawa Senators. Look, they're outside looking at in the playoffs plus 130 to make it. Everyone else kind of sold around them. They added a piece. This is a team that's very good from a defensive structure. Top five in Corsi, top three in Fenwick. They lost their goalie for a month. Olmark now back. I think they surge here. Make the playoffs. And if they get in the dance, this is going to be a very, very pesky team. So give me the Senators at 22 to one to win the Eastern Conference playoffs. We do have a number of UFC tonight as well. Main event of Max Hollow Holloway going against Charles Olivera. I played the over two and a half rounds in that one. Listen, I get it. Olivera, one of the most prolific finishers in all of mixed martial arts, but Max Holloway is just so incredibly durable. And I think that this thing can just get drug into the championship rounds here. So I did take the over two and a half rounds there against Holloway and Olivera. I just don't think Holloway goes away easily here in this one against him. So we will roll the dice against one of the better finishers in the history of mixed martial arts and think that we can get

46:53done there. In that one, Mike, as we get out of here, the Bruins get one in the third periods, about five minutes left. Who to one now? Bruins over the caps. Yeah, we talked about this. I had a great guest on earlier and she mentioned take the Bruins here and they currently got the lead. So we'll see if they can hold on. It would be a big win for their playoffs. I know people keep asking. Yes, we did go out, play some golf yesterday. Myself, Kelly Bidlin, Isaiah Vaughn-Frenkel, and then also Danny Higgins of a numbers game, a little bit earlier. Yesterday, being Kelly Bidlin, team Bidlin and Brown, Sommage, take down Vaughn-Frenkel and Danny Higgins. We win the front. We win the back. We win the overall. So Kelly, having not hit a golf ball in five years, we still get it done. Get the Bruins out, baby. There it is from Mike. I'm Matt Goodlock. I'll know you're back.
