Follow The Money | April 9, 2026 | Hour 2

In Hour 2 of 'Follow the Money' on VSiN Best Bets, Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive into the early chaos of the 2026 Masters, where favorites like Jon Rahm and Scotty Scheffler falter early, while underdogs like Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth show promise. The hosts dissect dramatic swings—Reed’s quadruple bogey, Rahm’s six-over collapse, and Sergio Garcia’s late stumble—highlighting how quickly fortunes can change at Augusta. They emphasize the importance of course difficulty and the Masters’ ability to control the narrative through pace and setup. Transitioning to sports betting, they break down major NBA news, including Joel Embiid’s appendicitis diagnosis and surgery, which shifts the Philadelphia 76ers’ odds and impacts the Eastern Conference playoff race. The conversation shifts to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ playoff positioning, with guest Tony Rizzo weighing in on their preference for the Pistons over the Celtics in the second round and the pressure on Donovan Mitchell and coach Kenny Atkinson. The segment also covers NFL draft speculation, the Browns’ uncertainty at No. 6, and the quarterback situation with Deshaun Watson’s recovery. In MLB, the hosts spotlight high-value props using OptAI data, including Anthony Kay’s K-prop and the Rockies’ surprising turnaround under new manager Warren Schaefer, whose energy is credited for the team’s momentum.
