Happy Wednesday and welcome to the early edge brought to you by Bed, NGM, Make it legendary. I see Richard Pierre in the chat, Cleveland fan Jeff Stenberg in the chat. Josh Davis, thanks for being in here. Hit the like button if you could. Let's see if we like the recap screen as we end up going five in three A max one for two buckets. One for two. Look at sniper two for two, including a plus 195 hit and Calvin Wetzel. Absolutely smashes fever, money line. That was an easy one. We had one sports line pick game postponed. We lose another one. We go five and three overall and we'll take that especially with a plus 195 and a plus 100 peppered in there. So let's talk about some more picks that we can have winners maybe Chicago, Cubs minus one and a half plus one 32. From EC we know he's a winner. We got the Guardians Red Sox first five under three and a half plus one 12 from Jeff Hockman. That's two sports line picks for you. They'll be on the recap screen at the end of the show as well. Let's talk about the beginning of the show though because we've got a great cast as we usually do on a Wednesday. We've got the sniper. We got buckets.
We got Calvin Wetzel for WNBA and we've got Mike at the track sniper. I got to start with you because it's always nice when you hit a couple of props, but hit in a plus 195 on it. On a just a standard Tuesday afternoon is a nice hit. Yeah, I was pretty pleased. I mean, he early in the game, he got a walk and then he stole seconds. I was like, okay, it's only the fourth inning. I only need one more on these. And his next step bat was like an infield slow grounder that they initially called him out and then they went to review and then it ended up overturning it. So I was all excited. Like, yeah, yeah, all right. I hit it. It didn't even matter because he ended up getting a hit and a walk later in the game, but it was very nice in the moment to have replay overturning. Cash us out. Calvin, talk to me about the slate in the W today because I know we had that big game with the links in fever yesterday. Any big games tonight into obviously you came with a W pick tonight. Yeah, two games tonight. Storm don't have anything to play for. Wings still do. They face off and then Atlanta, New York face off. Both of them still have a lot to play for. I'll be talking about that one, but last game for all four of those teams and then everyone else plays their last game of the season tomorrow before we start to play off.
On Sundays. So a lot still to play for in terms of seating with a lot of these teams, including Atlanta in New York tonight. Buckets, you're going to kick things off with picks, but Mike, I got to ask you first. Because I'm sure people are wondering where you are and also what you brought to the show today. Bring in NFL to the show today. We're in St. Louis. This is the million dollar drag race. We're here racing all weekend or all week for a million bucks and yeah, biggest, biggest event of the year for me. So definitely fired up to be here as well, but I've got NFL huge betting week and winding down the M.O.B. season as well. Still watching some of those division and wild car races. Speaking of NFL, we'll have a big Thursday night football show tomorrow at 10 o'clock in that Christian Watson play. Those lines are moving up. So hopefully you got it when I gave it out yesterday on sports line buckets. Sorry to get to you last year, but we're going to get to you first with official picks. A, how are you? B, what are the picks?
A, not great. I played a risky 50 50 with some gas station sushi last night. So I might not be on for the full show, you know, you live and then you don't learn and then you live a little bit more. B, I do have one bet for today, but kind of say how cool Mike's life is like he's on here giving out winners on the early edge while doing a million dollar drag race. Like, and I'm, you know, throwing up from gas station sushi. Same life. Different people. Doesn't matter. Let's get to the best because we've got more. I enjoy the background noise of the. Just hear them taking off. It's a lot better than the lawn mower that comes. So believe it or not, at the racetrack gas station sushi came up a week ago. I've been told that when we go to Dallas, Texas area in a couple weeks, there's gas station sushi that everyone recommends. I'm not going to try it, but it came up. And I didn't think that was a real thing. I thought that was just a bucket thing until somebody else in my other world also mentioned that. I was going to say when he said came up, it definitely comes up a lot. I would.
Yeah. Well, there are, there are dozens of us gas station sushi eaters, but there's also dozens of us. If not more betting on women's UCL today, we've got a very big match. If taking place between Barcelona and Paris FC and this bet is going to be scary to a lot of people because I'm taking barcelona over four and a half goals team total, which means I need barza to score five at minus 110, not even plus money for five goals, but I need you guys to understand this level of dominance doesn't exist. I feel like in other sports. And maybe you guys can tell me I'm wrong. But if you watch this barcelona women's team play, I just want to go over the last few years. They have one three of the last four champions leagues in the 23 24 season. They played 30 matches in league play outscored their opponents, 137 to 10. The next year, 128 to 16 last season, 130 goals scored nine goals conceded in 30 matches. They average over four goals scored a play or per game in league play. And they're playing a parasite who earlier this month lost to Leon seven to one.
They lost seven one. Barcelona beat Leon in the Champions League final last year for NIL. This team is stacked beyond compare and even with them transitioning and switching out the roster. It doesn't matter because the backups for Barcelona are world class starters for any other club playing in champions like this team is outrageous and Paris. I'm sorry. I love you guys. You don't stand a chance. This match is just about trying to make this hurt as little as possible to just not embarrass yourself. Because when you go on to pitching against Barcelona, that is a team you want to ladder goals and you want to have fun with. So just one bet for me today, guys, but Barcelona's women's team this afternoon to score four and a half goals or more at minus one 10 is where I'm putting my money. All right. We've already got a lot of questions in the chat. Sniper, I'm going to go to you. Does PCA get to 40 tonight? Of course, we've got drag and referring to 40 stolen bases, I believe. Yeah, I thought about running it back. It's going to be somewhat similar, hopefully not the result, but somewhat similar to last night in that the wind is going to be blowing in. So it's going to be more of a small ball game.
I expect if he gets on first, he's going to be looking to take a second because they're trying to score runs. Runs will be at a premium again, at least until a 12th inning for the Marlins apparently. But yes, runs will be at a premium again for most of the game at least. Any thoughts, Mike McClure on TCU minus three at minus one 12, the asks Josh Davis. Yeah, so I'm trying to pull up my number on that right now, see where I have it. Lean that direction, don't love it as much. I prefer their team total over before I would lay a full three on that number. But lean in that direction would play their full team total over. Bucket, I hear you smiling. That was to the drag racing in the background. Yeah, just the rocket ships going on behind him. It's awesome. It is really cool. All right, let's get to some more picks. And actually, Mike, we're going to go right back to you because you've got an NFL play. Of course, you came early last week with an NFL play on the Cowboys, that ended up caching.
And in fact, I think it was the same spread as you have now with the bangles who talked to me about bangles, Steelers. Yeah, look, I'm going to lay the road chalk with Cincinnati. I know it's not something you love to get in the habit of doing laying road chalk in division. I think that there's still just a big ratings difference between these two teams. Obviously, they're favored on the road in a what used to be considered a very difficult place to go play. I am not high on Pittsburgh at all, though. Offensively this team, I do not think that they can keep up in this particular matchup. I know that we watched Cincinnati beat Houston. I know Houston didn't have Nico Collins offensively, but they still were able to find success in that one. They had success against Tampa's defense. I think that this is a spot where Sensei kind of gets in a little rhythm here. And it's really my rating has gone down on the Pittsburgh Steelers quite meaningfully from the start of the season already. I think the numbers should be four and a half. I think it's a situation similar to Dallas, where this number is going to move and it's going
to close at four or four and a half. So I would play the three and a half, particularly minus 108s, not the full minus one 10 or more that's out there right now. I would like to send today because I think the line's only moving one direction by the time this game kicks off on Sunday. All right, Bengals minus three and a half at Pittsburgh. One of the, listen, I was wrong and right so far about a lot of NFL teams. One of the teams I was right about it will so far again, small sample size is the Bengals because that defense looks like it's actually decent and we know what the offense can do. So Bengals minus three and a half in Pittsburgh is the play for Mike McClaur. Let's get to some more questions before we get to official picks. sniper, Moshe's in the chat. He says he likes the Braves run line, no akunya, but of course it's Chris sale versus Andrew Abbott again on the run line minus 105, your thoughts. Did you see my plays yet? Oh, this is a spoiler. See, I try not to look sometimes. Moshe, all I can tell you, right? This is a spoiler. Yeah, all I can tell you right now, Moshe is great minds think alike. And we're going to get to that in just a second.
But before we do that, let me talk to you about bed MGM, bed MGM players will get a parlay boost for any sport on bed MGM today. Just make a parlay in any sport you choose and activate the boost token. If you win your wager that was made with the token, you will receive extra winnings only at bed MGM. All right. Well, I've got another question for you. How about Jack Caglione? Over one and a half hits runs RBI is minus 120. Yeah, the white socks don't have a ton of pitching left. As we saw last night, they built a huge league lead in the royal started to come back. I like Caglione a lot. So yeah, I'd be good with that play absolutely. All right. Good call out there. We got to get some more picks. I've got an outright pick. If you missed the president's cup show, it's still in your feed. It's in your podcast feed as well. I've got one of the picks I brought from what I'm bringing today is from that show, but it's in the open to France tournament. It's not the DP World Tour. It's not the president's cup. So stay tuned for that. We've also got a pick in the WNBA. We're going to cover it all right after this message from our partners. We're back on the early edge in Calvin. I want to get to your WNBA pick, but sniper quick question because I don't want to forget this.
Somebody fortune in the chat was saying, hey, two for two again, sniper, good stuff. We've got a couple of afternoon games, including the makeup game with the Orioles with Shurser and Basset on the Mount. That games at 135. We also have a game at 110, but any thoughts on that that makeup game that was scheduled for yesterday? Yeah, I definitely lean blue jays on this one. Just a lean. I wouldn't make it an official player anything. I know it's Shurser and stuff to trust him at this point in his career, but I don't really trust Chris Basset either and that Jays are pushing hard to try to somehow steal that final wild card in the American League. So I lean more towards the blue jays on that one, but I don't, look, we can't trust either one of these teams. So that game right when I saw it was like, yeah, I'm not digging much into that one. That's totally fair. All right, Calvin, let's talk about you. Hit the fever yesterday. It looks like we're taking the Liberty tonight. We are going with the Liberty on the money line again at minus 130. If you want to play the minus one and a half, that's fine. But last night we cashed the fever basically around pick
them or one and a half in the only game with both teams still playing for something. We cashed the home team. So we're doing the same thing tonight. Liberty hosting the only game where both teams are still playing for something. The only team such game left on the slate, none of the games tomorrow. We're going to have both teams still fighting for seeding. So this is a back-to-back dream one in New York on Monday. And I think New York makes adjustments from that game and flips the script in this one. You look at that game. They only shot 24% from three. That's got to regress positively for them for a pretty good shooting New York team. And if shots fall, I have them rated as a comparable team to Atlanta. So home court should be enough to give you value on this number and outside of that game, that last game against Atlanta, the other night with that poor shooting. Liberty have been playing much better since the World Cup break. This was the preseason favorite, the Liberty. Obviously, we know that the talent is there. It hasn't shown up
at times this season. They've had injuries this season. But since the World Cup break, and as we kind of push towards the playoffs, they're starting to click a lot more and maybe not look as strong as we thought in preseason when we had them number one. But still look definitely a lot better than they did in the middle of the season. So they really need a win in this one to avoid the 8 seed last night. Even though the links did lose to that fever in that game that we bet the links still clinched the one seed because the balker is also lost. So now the 8 seed is going to have to go and play at Minnesota, which no one wants to do. And if the Liberty lose this game, they will be locked into the 8 seed. So you know that they're trying to avoid Minnesota and trying to win this game at home, especially after losing the other night. So I like them at minus 1 1 1 1 half or minus 1 30. You're going with the money line as the official play at minus 1 30. All right. We're taking the Liberty money line minus 1 30. Mike, two questions for you. Do you have any earfies or nerfies that you like? And also, what, there's questions about horsepower of
the car that you raised? I'll hand it to the horse bar first. This car here, the dragster that I have, is around 1300 horsepower, like 1285 to 1300. Depending on the car, rater, setup that's on it. Now, as far as nerfie and urefie, if I had to play a yes run first inning, it would be in the Cubs game. If I had to play no run first inning, it would be in Toronto and Baltimore in that early start game. All right. That first game of two is where that nerfie would be. Let's get to some more picks here, sniper. Again, we kind of spoiled it a little bit. I believe you might like the braves or maybe not. I don't know. Could have gone either way. And also, you've got to play in the pirates game. Yeah. We'll start with that braves game. I'm going to play the braves on the run line there. Look, I like the fact that they lost last night because then you are looking at a little bit of a bounce back. And I know people might think, oh, they don't have anything to play for because they're pretty well locked into the three seed. But we've heard from this team in the past, they didn't like to buy in 2022 and 2023. They did not like to buy. They like to play every single day.
So they're going to want to be playing the rest of this week hard and having some momentum going into the playoffs. I don't know for sure if Ronald Likunye Jr. is out. He fouled one off his shin. It's a bruise. They said he's day to day. They probably will give him today. But even without him, they still have a good lineup. And Andrew Abbott of the reds has been absolutely shellacred in his last five road starts 4.7 OERA overall. The braves have a full and rested bullpen behind Chris sale who actually has three days extra rest. He was supposed to go on Friday. And they bumped him all the way back to now. He's going to finish second in Sai Young voting this year to Jacob Mizraowski. So that you've got an overwhelming pitching matchup for the braves. And again, they're going to want to bounce back. They want to be hitting their stride right as they finish the calendar. So I like the braves a lot in this one. And then I'm going to go to Pittsburgh. I'm just going to go with the pirates on the money line. We won with Jared Jones rather easily last night on the strikeout prop. I'm going to go back to the well a little bit here. This isn't bullpen game.
Lake Bakker starting for the pirates. But last time they ran this bullpen game, they won. They did that on Sunday. They won with his exact formula. And they've been really good this month. I know not that many people have probably noticed it. But they're 13 and 6 this month. And for those losses came to the Cubs and Brewers. So this is a team playing really well except when they play two playoff teams and the cards are not so much. They're not a playoff team. They've lost five of six Matthew Libertory 5.36 area in the mound. Pirates just saw them on August 30th and beat them up. So I like the pirates a lot in this one. Big cheesy in the chat seems to like the Padres plus one and a half. Of course, we got Robbie Ray on the mound. I believe against Yamamoto against Dodgers. What do you think of the plus one and half at minus 115? I don't love that one. The Dodgers are kind of lining up all their troops and getting things ready for a playoff run. We saw last night where they brought Rookie Suzuki and Relief. They held down Robleski in the starting role. It's like they're getting everybody ready with Yamamoto on the mound. He's probably going to go at tidy five or six.
But then they're going to run some guys out of the bullpen who are probably well rested. And Robbie Ray has been a little up and down. I think the Dodgers can get to him. And if anybody wants to look, Kyle Tucker has beat Robbie Ray up in his career if you wanted to prop there. And also, Kike Hernandez has five home runs in a relatively small sample against Robbie Ray. So do with that what you will. All right. What great answer from the pick from big cheesy buckets. Anything socker wise in the chat. I didn't see a ton of questions. It might just be that time of year. I do think we have a birthday to celebrate in the chat. Alex says, can I get a birthday parlay? I don't know if we have anything along those lines buckets. There's just not a lot of games that we can parlay together. We have one MLS game tonight. Seattle Sounders ticking on real salt lake. Seattle Sounders have now drawn their last five games in a row. It's probably that thing. We know when like you see something keep painting like, man, I should have bet that in the one time you bet it at misses. We're probably getting near that territory. But their last five have ended one one one one two two three three nil nil. So there's something to be done with that
MLS game. I don't know what it is yet. What I will say is I've got a question that is a completely original buckets question for sniper here. My own research, my own everything. Ellie DeLa Cruz is currently at 29 homers and 29 stolen bases. Would you rather take a stolen base tonight or a home run? Which one of those happens first? If you get's the 30 30 there. I'm going to go with a steel here. He's got a tough matchup and Chris sale as a starting pitcher. So, you know, it's tough to steal on sale too. I don't know. I don't love either one. Now that I think through it. I'll go to the steel because sales not going to throw a complete game. I'm just not feeling a home run. I just realized the big cheesy copied me in the comments there. So what I'm cheesy. That's a good shout there. I just wanted to run it by you sniper. Yeah. His comment was definitely not from about 14 minutes ago. So yeah, good question buckets. And then go ahead. Yeah, real quick. I'm losing the fight with that sushi. So I'm going to hop off and I'll see you guys tomorrow if that works. Best wishes buckets. Mike. I love the cars. I'll see you guys. Calvin, I've got a question for you. You know, you could just disappear. You don't have to tell us
every little detail. That's true. Anyway, go ahead. Yeah, here we are though. I've got a question for you, Calvin from Addison gift regarding something you talked about with the wings. But let me just get my pick out of the way. Hopefully you all watched the early wedges yesterday. And if you're interested in the DP World Tour event over in France, I gave out a lot of picks for that, including first round leaders, which I'll put in the sports line discord. I may even tweet them out. If you recall, I had first round leaders in the PGA event last week, Jackson, Super 54 to one. It looked like he was going to coast to the first round lead and then he botched to the last two holes. So that was pretty disconcerting. But I've got some first round leaders for this tournament in France. And I've got some outright too. I'm going to give one of my outrights here. It's going to be Matt Fitzpatrick. It's not a super fun number plus 900. But I do think he's the best golfer in the field. Now we do have some good golfers in this field, including Tommy Fleetwood and Ludwig and a handful of good DP World Tour guys. But at the end of the day, when Matt Fitzpatrick is on, that's when I want to take him. He really hasn't been on towards the latter part of the year. But we saw last week at Wentworth, the DP World Tour event. He started to really start hitting the ball like old Matt Fitzpatrick earlier in the year,
Matt Fitzpatrick. So I do think plus 900 in this field is actually a pretty good number. And if you noticed what I did on the early wedges, I'm actually trying to scoop here a little bit because I'm taking Fitzpatrick at plus 900. But then I'm taking three other guys in the without market. That without market includes Matt Fitzpatrick. So I'm trying to get lucky a little bit and hit both here. Matt Fitzpatrick would have to win, of course. But my without market guys, just so everybody knows our Chacara, Joe Dean and Kazuma Cabori. So those are three at relatively long odds, especially those last two, where we might get something in play on Sunday afternoon. So again, these are my open to France outright picks. Matt Fitzpatrick is my primary one at nine to one. Let's go back to the WNBA, Calvin. Addison Giff was asking, what was the matchup you mentioned earlier regarding the wings? Yeah. So the second game of the night is wings versus storms, storm or out of it. Wings right now have something to play for. But I'm glad Addison brought this up because the wings will not have anything to play for if Atlanta wins that first game. So hopefully Atlanta doesn't win that game because we're on the New York side of that. But tune in for that
if we lose that bet and Atlanta does beat the Liberty in that first game, then the wings are going to be locked into the seventh seed and they will no longer have any incentive to really try in this game. Their last game of the season. And right now, they're minus nine and a half. You can probably hit the storm plus nine and a half at that point. The wings might end up resting someone, even if they don't rest someone, you know, by the time they find out the result of that game, everyone's going to be warming up and starting lineups are going to be in. But they still might pull starters early, maybe at halftime, if they end up being locked into their seed by the time that game happens. So I would watch that first game. And if Atlanta does win that game, then I think storm plus nine and a half would be a look in the second game. My quick question regarding Thursday night football, I gave out a prop on Christian Watson yesterday over 64 and a half receiving yards. That line is now in that 67 68 range. But Ramo has a question about Watson over four and a half receptions. I like that too. I like the Matthew Golden stuff. I honestly like the Tucker craft stuff too. I think they're going to have to pass with that said, do you have any answers on the prop side or on the
spread side? This line down to like five and a half in some places at Lanna going to green, Baydemar, of course, Michael Penex starting for Atlanta. Yeah, I think I heard the question. So obviously super loud. Sorry about that. But I'm not playing any unders on Watson. I like Watson's upside. I like them there. I do like Atlanta to be a little more competent in this game. Yeah, they have been throughout the season so far. I think that they've had obviously horrendous quarterback play. The guy that I would be interested in buying low on and that game would be culpets. I just been non-existent. I think it's all related to quarterback play. So I would take flyers on that side. I would need a full seven to feel comfortable betting the Atlanta side. So yeah, not playing unders on Christian Watson. If I wanted to go grab some optimistic overs, I would be looking at culpets. Yeah, you can't help but think that the quarterback plays obviously going to, even if you
don't like Michael Penex, it's certainly going to be improved. Kyle Pits numbers around 35 and a half. So I do lean to that over. Obviously, they're going to try to establish the run too, but it'll probably be Kyle Pits and Drake London there. Let's see, sniper. We have more questions. Yama Motto over six and a half K's minus 105 from James Erion Water. He points out something that I'm not aware of. If he gets to seven K's, there's some sort of giveaway. It's stadium, some free jumbo jack. I don't know. Liddy might be able to answer that question. But go ahead, sniper over six and a half K's for Yama Motto. Yeah, I like that one. And it's interesting in the chat, cheesy pointed out. I think it was cheesy that said the Padres are like 14 and three in their last 17, which is true. They haven't beaten anybody with a winning record in there at all because they haven't played anybody with a winning record in a while until last night and the Dodgers crushed them. Of course, I should point out if we're doing that, if the Dodgers win the series against the Padres, and I think they will, it'll be their first series where they've beaten the team with a winning record since July 20th through 22nd. They've been losing every series to good teams since July. So that's why I was really looking
forward to this series and seeing which team was going to step up and the Dodgers did in a big way last night. How about from Richard Pierre? I think this is one so to one and a half total bases plus 130. They're playing the Rangers Bradford. I don't know. Sure. It's one so to so why not. Nothing really jumped out about that to me, but hey, it's one so to so yeah. Sure. And finally, we can't ignore Jeff Stenberg. He says, do you like even see more over six and a half K's at plus 115? Sure. That's just a year. I don't have an opinion, but I know Jeff wants me to say yes. So yeah, man, do it. You know, you want to anyway, you know, you're going to anyway. Calvin, before we wrap things up, anything in the chat that you saw WNBA was? I didn't see anything else. Obviously, you could hit me up in the discord. I know yesterday, I saw some questions and maybe some people have them about the motivations and things like that. So I'll just say for tomorrow, the last day of the season, that first game, tempo versus sun, they're both out of it. The other four games are all between one team with something to play for,
and one team that doesn't have anything to play for. So those, there's no games where both teams have something to play for. So try to cautiously tomorrow, but the favorite is going to have something to play for in the last four games. We have a really good question from our very own Danny Brasco in the chat. And it goes back to these afternoon games. Technically, there are three because there's a 345 game with the twins and the giants, but the first game, well, first of all, we talked about Blue J's Orioles and sniper, you didn't have a really big opinion on that one. You had a lean towards the Blue J's, but again, that was more of a stay away. Any thoughts on nationals, tigers, and oh, by the way, these starting pictures, I just have to say their names. Richard Love Lady is starting for the nationals in Framber Valdez for the Detroit Tigers. Speaking of teams, they don't have anything to play for. Any thoughts on this one 10 Eastern time game? Not a ton. Maybe something with the Tigers offense. Maybe if you had a free home run player, something you could look at some of the Tigers players. I mean, Riley Green, I'm always going to think about if you wanted to look at Spencer Torkelson or something like that, not that I would
definitely recommend that, but that's what I started to look at there. In speaking of, I did have one home run play. Yeah, one aeronauto back in Cours Field to hit one last night. He's been really hot recently. He's used to that ballpark. So you've got a terrible rock. He's pitching staff, no one aeronauto on Cours. I like that combination. All right. Good stuff from sniper. I think that'll probably wrap it up. My hand up. If I missed anything, Calvin, hand up. If I missed anything, but I think we can get to the recap screen. Ben, let us see it. We've got the my outright pick 104. So again, check out the sports line discord or just check out the early wedge in your feed. Matt Fitzpatrick at plus 900 again, not a very fun number, but I do like Matt Fitzpatrick contending in this tournament. We go to Mike McClure for Sunday, Bengals minus three and a half minus one of eight in Pittsburgh. Then we got buckets Barcelona versus Paris. This is on the women's side. Barcelona over four and a half team total minus 110 baseball. We've got Braves minus one and a half and minus 105 and the pirates money line at minus 113. Then we go back to Calvin, Liberty
money line minus 130. And then we've got two sports line picks Chicago Cubs run line at plus 132 from EC and Guardians Red Sox first five under three and a half plus 112. That one courtesy of the very sharp Jeff Hawkman. Well, we've got, I mean, what a great Wednesday show this was, but don't forget tomorrow. We are really leaning into Thursday night football. So make sure you're here at 10 o'clock for that. Matt Snyder, Calvin Wetzel buckets, Mike McClure, and of course, Ben on the ones and twos and threes and fours. Thank you very much. We'll see you all very, very soon on the early edge. Until then, we rest our case.
