Follow The Money | April 1, 2026 | Hour 1

In this hour-long episode of VSiN's 'Follow the Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Paulie Howard dive deep into early-season sports betting trends across MLB, NBA, and NHL, with a focus on team performance, prop bets, and market inefficiencies. The show opens with a strong emphasis on the Yankees' dominant pitching start, highlighted by Cam Schlittler’s impressive debut and the team’s historic low run total allowed. The hosts analyze underperforming teams like the Padres and Red Sox, while praising the defensive prowess of the Pistons and the surprising resurgence of the Lakers. A major segment features guest Brian Geltseiler, who discusses the NBA’s competitive landscape, the impact of SGA’s free-throw dominance, and the rising influence of rookie Cooper Flank. The episode also covers the Masters preview, sponsor promotions from ProfitX and Sharp Plays, and a lively discussion on team tanking, with data-driven insights into 'A-League' vs. 'B-League' teams. The hosts blend sharp analysis with humor, including a memorable breakdown of a dog destroying a couch, and end with a look ahead to Jeff Seeley’s upcoming Masters preview. Key takeaways include: (1) The Yankees’ pitching staff is on pace for a historic season, making strikeout props and team defense bets highly compelling; (2) Teams like the Pistons and Lakers are defying expectations with strong defensive play and late-season momentum; (3) SGA’s free-throw volume is a critical factor in OKC’s success and could be a game-changer in playoff matchups; (4) The 'tanking parlay' strategy—betting on teams that are clearly not trying—shows strong historical data; (5) Early-season performance, especially in pitching and defense, is a reliable indicator of long-term success; (6) Prop bets on high-strikeout pitchers like Schlittler and Soriano offer strong value; (7) The Masters is approaching, and early betting on golf markets can yield high returns; (8) Sponsor promotions from ProfitX and Sharp Plays offer real value for new users. The overall tone is optimistic and analytical, with a strong belief in data-driven betting and early-season trends.
