In this episode of VSiN Best Bets' 'Cashing Out,' host Dustin Swedelson delivers a deep dive into late-night NBA and MLB action, with expert analysis from guest Michael Fiddle, NBA handicapper and founder of Fiddles Picks. Fiddle breaks down key matchups, emphasizing strategic value in under bets on Atlanta-Orlando and Memphis-New York, citing playoff intensity and injury risks as key drivers. He highlights the asymmetry in the Knicks-Grizzlies game, where resting key players like Jalen Brunson could create a massive edge for betting on Memphis. The show also features a segment on 'Three Up, Three Down' for MLB, spotlighting strong performances from pitchers like Christopher Sanchez and Trevor Rogers, while cautioning against overvaluing players like Kumar Rocker and Garrett Crochet. Later, Coach Mark Gottfried joins to preview the NCAA Final Four, offering balanced insights on Michigan vs. Arizona and UConn vs. Illinois, ultimately favoring Michigan as the national champion. The episode closes with a spotlight on emerging MLB stars Hunter Brown and Jordan Alvarez, both of whom Swedelson believes are undervalued in Cy Young and MVP markets despite injury concerns.
Bet the under on Atlanta-Orlando due to playoff intensity and defensive focus in late-season matchups.
Look for value in Memphis plus 14.5 against the Knicks, especially if key players like Brunson or Towns sit due to back-to-back fatigue.
Hunter Brown is a legitimate AL Cy Young contender at 13-1 odds, with dominant early-season stats and a strong track record.
Jordan Alvarez, despite injury concerns, has a 162-game equivalent of .297/.410/.610 and is worth considering at 30-1 for MVP.
Trevor Rogers’ current dominance may be unsustainable; his 18-start 2024 form was exceptional but likely over his true talent level.

“If you think Brunson is worth four points, he would have to sit 17.5% of the time for this to be a plus EV ticket. And just the slight possibility that a little bit less than one in five chance that he sits in this game means you should bet it right away.”

Emerging Stars: Hunter Brown & Jordan Alvarez
“If you're going to bet MVP in either league, it's you're betting on Judge missing like three or four weeks or Otani missing a couple of weeks here or there. That's the only way this thing can open up.”
