Cashing Out - Hour 3 - May 3rd

In this episode of VSiN Best Bets, Dustin Swedelson and guest Eric Cohen dive deep into the NBA playoffs, dissecting the second-round matchups with a mix of sharp analysis and bold predictions. They debate the legitimacy of calling the second round 'conference semifinals,' with Cohen favoring the Sixers over the Knicks despite the spread, betting on a seven-game series and highlighting Joel Embiid and Donovan Mitchell as strong Eastern Conference Finals MVP candidates. Cohen also backs the Thunder over the 76ers in the NBA Finals exact result market at 11-1, citing Oklahoma City’s dominance. The conversation shifts to hockey, where Jonathan Davis praises the high-scoring potential of the Avalanche vs. Wild series and the Ducks vs. Golden Knights matchup, advocating for the over in both. In MLB, Cohen and Swedelson highlight the Rays’ underrated potential, the Cy Young market with Chris Sale and Mason Miller as long shots, and offer several strikeout and team total props. The episode closes with a strong emphasis on under bets in low-scoring games, particularly in the Timberwolves-Spurs and Sixers-Knicks matchups.
