In this second hour of VSiN Best Bets' 'Follow The Money' episode, hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into a high-stakes sports betting landscape across NBA, MLB, and NHL playoffs. The discussion kicks off with a detailed breakdown of the Knicks vs. Hawks matchup, highlighting Brunson’s scoring potential, Towns’ dominance, and the under-the-radar value of Josh Hart’s rebounding prop. The Raptors vs. Cavaliers series is analyzed with emphasis on Brandon Ingram’s potential breakout and Donovan Mitchell’s explosive scoring trend. The MLB segment focuses on Shohei Ohtani’s historic performance against Rockies’ starter Cristian Javier, with a deep dive into Ohtani’s 51-game on-base streak and career dominance against Colorado. The episode also explores betting angles on Houston’s struggling starters, the Cubs’ offensive resurgence, and the Braves’ red-hot form. The NFL draft conversation with RJ Choppy from 105.3 The Fan in Dallas centers on the Cowboys’ potential trade-up to draft a top defensive player, with speculation around David Bailey and the financial implications of trading George Pickens. The NHL section highlights the trend of underdog comebacks, with data showing that road teams winning Game 2 after losing Game 1 have a 52.5% success rate over the last 14 years. The hosts emphasize the importance of data-driven decisions, especially in high-variance playoff environments.
Ohtani has a 391 batting average and 13 home runs in 34 straight games against Colorado, making him a near-unstoppable prop in the Dodgers-Rockies series.
Josh Hart has averaged over 9 rebounds in 13 playoff games over the past two seasons, making his rebound prop a strong value at 7.5.
Teams that lost Game 1 at home have won Game 2 52.5% of the time over the last 14 years, a powerful statistical edge for betting road teams.
Donovan Mitchell has scored 28+ points in 13 of his last 16 postseason games, making him a reliable over 27.5 points prop.
The Astros’ starter Slade Ciccone allows 500 OPS in the third time through the lineup—creating a live betting opportunity to target the third inning.
