Best Bets on the Board in the NBA and MLB Tonight

Welcome back to cheddar bats brought to you by bet mgm the opening round of the masters tournament teen off earlier today and we all know that all of the eyes were on one golfer. Tiger Woods, the five time Masters finishing the first round at one under par Woods who entered the tournament with odds of plus 4000 is just three strokes off the lead as of right now. So Alex, what did you make a Tiger's opening day? I mean it's incredible, it was incredible, right? I mean 14 months ago doctors are talking about amputating this guy's leg and he goes one under par. I mean it was just good to see him out there just I joked on twitter that the masters didn't start until Tiger teed off at 11 04 and it really it really felt that way through though for the general public that's all the talk is always around tiger and for that horrific accident that he had to to be able to just like be there even if he doesn't come back. Right well listen a lot of people are hoping that he can come back a lot of, a lot of money and a lot of tickets were on Tiger. Absolutely, that's for sure. Alright now it's time for my favorite game show of the night who's betting line isn't anyways where we you know we pull up similar prop bet lines, put them against each other and ask our experts which bet they think is worth taking but unlike that other roles show that you guys might be thinking of the points do matter in this one. So we'll be keeping tabs on our expert picks. All right Alex you ready for this? We don't read that second part because let's not let's not forget that I went four and last week I was gonna say you were about to skip over that and get into the game. I want everyone to know that I went for no last week. Perfect four for four. But did you know that? Yeah, I kept track of it. Absolutely. Okay, well we're keeping track of it too. I don't know if you know we're definitely doing that and notice we don't keep track of anything that I've said. That's what you say. Which is why you're here. Okay. Alright, so so first thing that we're gonna ask who's more likely to hit their plus money three point total tonight, fred Vanvleet Vanvleet at 3.5 or James Harden 2.5. I like fred Vanvleet um Over James Harden even though I do need four threes from from fred tonight. He's gone over 3.5 threes and two of the last three games and I like the volume that he's putting up. He's shot more than 11 threes in each of the last three games. So I like fred Van Fleet to knock four down tonight more than I like James Harden. I don't know if I don't know if fred's gonna be able to do it for me but I like him more than hard tonight. Okay. Alright. There we go with that one. Next up we have pascal Sinochem and Harden again. They both have combined points, rebounds and assists total of 37 a half. So who's hitting that tonight? Okay. So this is gonna sound like I'm a big James Harden hater. But I'm going with pascal. I'm going with pascal c outcome tonight. He's going over there against Harden, nothing, nothing. He look he's just been a little inconsistent for me. The outcome's going over and back to back games and I just think this is a good spot for a for CIA come. We'll see. Okay. Alright, well we'll see. All right. We're going over to baseball now. The Mets and the nats first pitch seven p.m. Tonight. Pete Alonso and juan Soto. More likely to leave the yard tonight. Pete Alonso. Um And that might surprise some people considering, you know how talented juan Soto is and I mean he is but he's facing a lefty tonight in Patrick Corbin, Four home runs in his last 30 at bats against Corbin and he had 16 home runs last year against lefties. So Alonso just he does he does well against lefties. So I like the math tonight in my favor. You're pretty much going in on the mets right. Look, we're gonna get into that. But yeah, I'm definitely going in on the on the metro. Okay. Alright. Alright, so the nightcap which vet is hitting their strikeout total Madison Bumgarner 3.5 or you darvish? Okay, I don't love this, but I'm going with Madison Bumgarner, this is more of a fate of yu darvish than than anything just because of how he's played at chase field lately. But yeah, I'm just gonna I mean that's that's really the only reason I'm going I don't really love the Bumgarner pick either, but if I had to pick one, I'm going with Bumgarner. Okay, so now we have to get the best of the rest on the board tonight. So what picks from Bet mgm Sports book? Are you hot on or you know bullish on? Okay, I am bullish on Taylor McGill, the Mets pitcher to go over 4.5 strikeouts tonight did not allow an earned run during spring training and had a great great grapefruit league, you know, through six and two thirds scoreless innings, seven strikeouts. The mets are really high on him and for good reason, had a solid rookie season and I think he's gonna be able to keep that positive momentum going tonight. Is there anyone else that you're bullish on tonight? Bullish? I don't know, it's kind of a weird because I want to I want to give some NBA picks but it's tough because of the time of year. It's tough, it's tough. So I'm not really bullish on any NBA place tonight. Wait, what about what happened to your panthers picks I couldn't hold on. So if there was if there was, if there was a nice play I wanted to give out tonight, it would be the hurricanes. Um I believe they're playing the Sabers on the freeway money line. It's it's so juicy though. I would not play it straight up unless you're throwing in the parlor or something. Even then it's still too juicy. Do you like me? Just trying to work the florida panthers in this conversation and you can't, you know, I gotta know how to pick the spots with the ice caps. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. So what are you bearish on and staying away from tonight? Staying away from the Celtics. We went into this um the Celtic has been playing really well lately and it might, you might look on the board today and see that they're getting a bunch of points. Stay away from the Celtics tonight. We don't know if if jayson Tatum's gonna be playing. We don't know if Jalen Brown's gonna playing, We don't know if Al Horford is going to be playing. They don't need to win this game. This is the second night of a back to back for them. I can see them resting starters tonight. So save yourself the mental energy, protect your mental peace and just stay away from the game? Can I say? What do you bearish on in the baseball world though? In the baseball world. Okay. So I would probably honestly stay away from home run props for a little bit because it takes batter's a little bit to to catch up to the pitching usually in the beginning of season you see the pictures start to have a lot of success early. So look at some props but the home run props I probably would stay away from for a little bit personally. Okay. You know, I'm gonna ask this one who is your absolute ironclad can't lose bonafide lock that. We can take all the way to the bank today. Mets on the money line. Patrick Corbin is pitching, he's been money. He's facing a Gnat's team there in rebuild mode. Aside from juan soto, there is absolutely nothing to like about this nat's team. I see that. I see the mets having a lot of success and a big night for the Mets by the way. Did you know that for all of the mets struggles are the best team ever on opening day. I did not know that. So, but you know that I just knew something that you didn't know. Let's write that down producers because this isn't going to happen often. Is that real? That's real? That's real. Yeah. So you definitely know your stuff. This is why we gotta listen to this guy. You heard him tell him or fade us. Let us know what you do on twitter at cheddar. That's gonna do it for cheddar bats brought to you by Bet MGm the King of Sports Book.
