Follow The Money | April 13, 2026 | Hour 3

In this episode of 'Follow the Money' on VSiN Best Bets, hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into sports betting insights, team performances, and media coverage across MLB, NBA, NHL, and golf. The discussion kicks off with a scathing critique of the Denver Nuggets' decision to rest their starters in back-to-back games, which they argue handed the San Antonio Spurs a golden opportunity to eliminate them from contention and now forces Denver into a tougher playoff path. The hosts express disbelief at the lack of accountability from the Nuggets' front office and coaching staff, especially given their analytics-driven approach to load management. They also dissect the bizarre and frustrating coverage of the Masters, criticizing CBS for ignoring players outside the top five and failing to show key moments like Colin Morikawa’s valiant but ultimately unsuccessful effort despite physical struggles. The episode then shifts to betting analysis, with detailed projections on pitchers like Ryan Nelson and Yusei Kikuchi, highlighting regression indicators such as poor BABIP and high FIP. The hosts also discuss the rising Cy Young candidacy of Padres closer Mason Miller, the impact of narrative in awards, and the importance of tools like Opta AI for real-time betting decisions. A major segment covers the disappointing performances of several high-profile players and teams, including the Yankees’ poor record in one-run games and the Bucs’ underwhelming season despite a championship win, leading to calls for accountability and better management. The episode closes with a recap of weekend betting plays, including a failed tanking parlay involving the Rockets and a strong run on the Masters, while also highlighting the shocking WNBA trade of Rekia Jackson to Chicago.
