Ready, Set, Bet! | April 12, 2026 | Hour 2

In this second hour of 'Ready, Set, Bet' on April 12, 2026, Matt Brown and Mike Somich dive deep into the dramatic final round of the Masters, where low scoring and aggressive play are shaping the leaderboard. Victor Hovland and Gary Woodland are surging, while Scotty Scheffler remains a threat despite a shaky second round. The hosts analyze betting lines on players like Cam Young, Sam Burns, and Rory McIlroy, emphasizing that a sub-14 under par score may be necessary to win. They also discuss the volatility of golf betting, especially with Scheffler’s unpredictable style—either a 67 or a 75. The conversation shifts to baseball, where early scoring is rampant, and the hosts caution against overreacting to small sample sizes, advocating for awards market bets over daily game lines. They highlight the value in betting on outliers like Gunnar Henderson’s MVP potential. Horse racing takes center stage with detailed picks at Keeneland, including a dead heat in the Jenny Wiley and analysis of price discrepancies. A key discussion on photo finishes clarifies that only the nose matters, not the tongue. The episode concludes with a sharp analysis of the NBA’s chaotic final day, where injuries and playoff implications create murky handicapping conditions, leading to targeted player prop bets on Tyrese Maxey, Vijay Edgecombe, and Cooper Flagg. The hosts also preview NHL plays, favoring the over in an Ottawa-New Jersey game and Chris Kreider’s power play points prop.
