The VSiN Weekend Morning Line episode on April 12, 2026, delivers a dynamic mix of baseball betting insights, a scathing critique of the New York Yankees' recent collapse, and a deep dive into the final round of the Masters. Frank Amarante of Roto Ball Fantasy Pros Action Network joins to break down early-season MLB trends, cautioning against overreacting to a two-week sample while highlighting real concerns—like the Blue Jays’ injury crisis and the Pirates’ genuine playoff potential. He makes strong plays on the Pirates over five and a half in their Cubs game, the Marlins’ money line against the Tigers, and the Rangers’ first five over the Dodgers. The hosts then pivot sharply to a viral moment involving Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm, whose postgame admission of not knowing basic double-play rules sparks outrage and betting skepticism. The segment underscores a broader concern about Yankees’ lack of fundamentals and managerial softness. The episode closes with a detailed look at the Masters, where Will Hill and Gresh discuss the psychological weight of the final round, the volatility of the course, and the value in under-the-radar picks like Sam Burns at +660 to win. They also critique the NBA’s end-of-season futility, with star-studded teams like the Celtics sitting their core players, leading to a strong recommendation to bet overs in games where effort is lacking.
Avoid overreacting to early-season MLB performance; sample size is too small for definitive conclusions.
The Pirates are a legitimate playoff contender with a strong rotation and improved lineup, making them a strong over target.
Jazz Chisholm’s admission of not knowing double-play rules is a career-derailing moment and a red flag for betting on the Yankees.
In the NBA, bet overs on final-day games where teams aren’t competing for playoff positioning.
At the Masters, Sam Burns (+660) is a high-value underdog pick due to his strong play and lack of pedigree, making him a sleeper to contend.

Early MLB Season Trends & Pirates Playoff Potential
“I do think the Pirates will contend for a playoff spot all year. Maybe not win the division, but I think they can make the playoffs for sure. I think they're for real.”
Yankees Collapse & Jazz Chisholm’s Infamous Interview
“I don't know what the rule is if I went to first base first and threw it back to second, if it's still an out. Is it still a double play?”
Masters Final Round: Pressure, Perception & Value Picks
“Burns is flying under the radar here, was the co-leader after Thursday. He's played pretty well Friday and Saturday. I know he doesn't have a habit, a history here, a pedigree of closing out these majors, but nobody wins these majors until they do.”
NBA Regular Season Collapse & Betting Overs
The hosts express deep frustration with the NBA’s end-of-season futility, where teams like the Celtics sit their stars. They argue that the lack of competition makes betting overs the only viable strategy, citing a $2.34 billion combined salary of players sitting out.
Final Round Masters: Course Setup & Key Props
The discussion shifts to how Augusta National may adjust the course after record-low scoring in round three. They explore props like Matt Fitzpatrick’s birdies and the value in betting on players like Russell Henley who claim the course is 'gettable'. They also analyze the massive gap between top-five odds and win odds for players like Shane Lowry.
“I don't know what the rule is if I went to first base first and threw it back to second, if it's still an out. Is it still a double play?”
“The other night Memphis sat 14 guys. Memphis was down, I think three minutes into the second quarter. They made a substitution. They were down like 15. They did not make another substitution until the second half when they were down by 50.”
“I do think the Pirates will contend for a playoff spot all year. Maybe not win the division, but I think they can make the playoffs for sure. I think they're for real.”
