In this second hour of VSiN Best Bets' 'Cashing Out' episode, host Dustin Swiedelson dives into early-season MLB performance, featuring insights from longtime MLB reporter Kyle Glazer. They analyze underperforming teams like the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners, with Glazer arguing the Mets' offseason moves were largely downgrade-heavy and the Mariners' struggles are likely temporary due to April's typical offensive slump. The NL Central is highlighted as competitive, with strong performances from the Pirates, Reds, and Cardinals, while Glazer praises the dominance of reliever Mason Miller and the historic greatness of Aaron Judge and Shohei Otani. The segment transitions into betting strategy, with Swiedelson and guest Eric Cohen discussing MLB props, including wind-aided home run bets at Wrigley Field and value plays like Spencer Horowitz and Matt Chapman. The episode then shifts to hockey, where Swiedelson recounts a tense under 2.5 goal bet on the Avalanche vs. Kraken game, ultimately cashing in after a nail-biting finish. The NBA play-in games are examined next, with a focus on the Warriors' comeback over the Clippers and the inflated line on the Suns, leading to a strong under bet on the total and key player props. The episode closes with a mix of strategic betting insights and reflections on the unpredictability of sports betting.
Wind direction at Wrigley Field can dramatically impact scoring and should be factored into home run prop bets.
Mason Miller's dominant relief performance makes him a legitimate Cy Young contender despite being a reliever.
Aaron Judge's offensive dominance is historically significant and should not be taken for granted.
Shohei Otani's dual-role excellence as both pitcher and hitter is unprecedented in MLB history.
The Warriors' recent comeback win has inflated the line on the Suns, creating value on the under.
…and 3 more takeaways available in PodZeus
MLB Season Preview: Mets, Mariners, and the NL Central
“This is a team that, you know, I, my preseason predictions, I have them third place, barely over 500. This is not a better team than last year. I, the Mets had a bad off season and I think people are realizing, I think this is kind of what they are.”
Mason Miller and the Cy Young Conversation
“This is a level of dominance that we have rarely seen from any reliever, Mariano Rivera, Trevor Hoffman. Pick your favorite reliever. We have not seen a scenario where a guy strikes out 23 of the 30 batters he faced going back to last year at the trade deadline.”
Betting Strategy: MLB Props and Wind-Aided Home Runs
“When that happens, the overrated Wrigley Field is 64%. Edward Cabrera has been great for the Cubs. Kodai Senga has not been great for the Mets. I expect to see 11 or more runs in that game.”
Hockey Bet Drama: Under 2.5 Goal Victory
“We cashed the under 2-1. Oh my God. Hockey bets. Absolutely crazy. You love to see it. Under 2.5 at 2-1 gets home in game on the Avalanche and the Kraken.”
NBA Play-In Analysis: Warriors vs. Suns and the Under Bet
The hosts analyze the Warriors' comeback win over the Clippers and the inflated line on the Suns, arguing that the Warriors' recent fatigue and lack of back-to-back wins create value on the under. Swiedelson places props on Steph Curry and Dylan Brooks under their totals.
“We will not see it again. We have never seen it before in 120 years of Major League Baseball. We will not see it again. This is an alien among us, and just sit back and appreciate it because, again, this is Ruth Williams mantle-level stuff.”
“This is our grandfathers telling us about watching Ruth, Mays, Williams, Mantle. That's what we're watching or we're watching the singularly most talented player to ever step foot on a major league baseball field.”
“This is a level of dominance that we have rarely seen from any reliever, Mariano Rivera, Trevor Hoffman. Pick your favorite reliever. We have not seen a scenario where a guy strikes out 23 of the 30 batters he faced going back to last year at the trade deadline.”
