In this second hour of 'Follow the Money' on VSiN Best Bets, hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into the NBA playoffs, NFL Draft speculation, and live baseball action. With NBA odds maker Justin Chicarico joining the show, the team analyzes key series like the Warriors vs. Suns, Knicks vs. Hawks, and the Lakers vs. Rockets, discussing power ratings, injury impacts, and betting value—especially on player props like Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson. The conversation shifts to baseball, where the hosts highlight the Rangers’ explosive offense, Tampa Bay’s surprising small-ball strategy, and a standout player prop on Ryan Weiss’s strikeouts. The episode then pivots to the NFL Draft, featuring Dan Leverfeld, who breaks down the Jets’ potential pick of David Bailey despite canceling their visit, the Titans’ tradeable pick, and the growing consensus around mock drafts being influenced by coordinated leaks. The hosts stress the importance of following the money, not just the headlines, and caution bettors against overreliance on need-based mock drafts.
Player props like Ryan Weiss’s 5+ strikeouts and Karl-Anthony Towns’ 9-1 odds for most points in a series offer high-value betting opportunities.
Small-ball teams like Tampa Bay are succeeding through contact and situational hitting—key for under-betting totals against them.
The NFL Draft is likely to see major trades, with coordinated mock drafts suggesting a potential 'perfect storm' of moves.
Teams like the Jets may draft without a visit, prioritizing internal data over traditional scouting, which can create betting edges.
Betting on 'best player available' over 'need' is a critical strategy, especially for teams with a history of value-based picks like the Giants.
