00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost.
00:06I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL, and I'm joined by Matt Horner and Kate Constable.
00:11We have an MLB odds boost for all of you today on two guys to hit a home run each.
00:16And those two guys are Shoai Otani and Manny Machado.
00:19This is for them to each hit a home run boosted to plus 2,000.
00:24At Caesars, what do you think of this boost?
00:25I mean, with the way Shoai Otani is playing right now, I think anything including him
00:31is something worth at least putting a little money down on.
00:34I mean, he has been absolutely just unreal, 14 hits in his last four games.
00:39He's got 13 RBIs, five home runs, like he's just absolutely playing out of his mind.
00:46So right now is the time to jump on Shoai Otani, but you're not going to get a great
00:50number on him just by himself.
00:52So pairing this with Manny Machado, I think that that is a decent bet right there.
00:57Machado, 22 homers, 22 of his 29 against righties, and he is facing Landon Mack today for the
01:04Dodgers, a rookie pitcher.
01:08This year, his first year in the big leagues, he's given up quite a few home runs, four
01:12home runs in his last five games.
01:14And Machado has had nine homers in his last 30 games.
01:17So he's playing really well right now, hits the ball really well.
01:19Matt, I like this at the number that we're getting it at.
01:22Yeah, I don't mind at all.
01:23I mean, anything with Shoai Otani.
01:24I mean, the guy is just unbelievable.
01:26It doesn't matter who he's facing.
01:28It doesn't matter left, right hand.
01:29It doesn't matter.
01:30He's unbelievable.
01:31It doesn't really even matter who he's facing.
01:34Michael King going for the Padres today.
01:36He's due for a little bit of regression, 304 ERA, 3.50 expected FIPS.
01:41So he's not quite as good as his ERA says.
01:44Nack on the other side, 339 ERA, but a 4.17 expected FIPS.
01:49So definitely some regression coming his way for Machado, which is the one we're worried
01:52about here, right?
01:53Like Otani, you know, he could hit a homer every night.
01:56There's really almost no analysis you need to give into it.
01:58He's that good.
01:59Machado is the one that you'd have to worry about, you would think here.
02:03Going against Nack, like I said, due for some regression.
02:05So I don't mind this if you just want a little sprinkle on it.
02:07Love that.

02:37Kate Constable and at Lucille Burge favorite bets for today.
02:41I'm going with another guy who tends to hit home runs, but I am taking him to go over
02:45one and a half bases.
02:46It is Aaron Judge.
02:48So he just hit his 55th home run the other night.
02:51And so he's gone over this in his last two games with a home run in each of those.
02:55But he's also gone over this in six of his last nine games against Dean Kramer.
02:59He's batting 308 with three home runs off him and a single.
03:03So I think he can at least go over one and a half total bases.
03:06Love it, Lucy.
03:07I'm going to go over to the NBA.
03:10We have playoffs going on right now.
03:12I'm going to take the Liberty minus twelve and a half against the dream.
03:14They beat the dream in game one of the series the other night, beat them by 14.
03:19The Liberty have also held the dream under 20 percent from three in two of their three
03:22regular season wins against them and again in that first playoff game on Sunday when
03:28they played.
03:29So dream do not shoot very well against this Liberty defense, especially from deep and
03:34the Liberty if they move on, which I'm assuming they will being I like them to cover this
03:38big number.
03:39They'll play either the Aces or Storm next.
03:42I would venture to guess the Aces are going to come out of that series.
03:44They're already up one, nothing on the storm, but that one's a little bit more competitive,
03:47I think, than this Liberty and dream series.
03:49So if the Liberty can get past the dream early, they'll have a little bit of extra time to
03:53rest, assuming that the Aces and Storm potentially go full the full length of the series, which
03:59would be three games and against the two time defending champs, you're going to need all
04:02the rest that you can get going into that.
04:05So I think the Liberty make an effort to take care of business tonight, close out the series
04:09and I like them to win big at covering a 12 and a half.
04:13There you go.
04:14Love that.
04:15I actually bet the WNBA the other day.
04:16I don't bet it very often, but it was Caitlin Clarke's first playoff game against the Sun.
04:23You absolutely know everybody was betting the fever.
04:26You were betting the fever, Caitlin Clarke, Sun minus six and a half was a whale.
04:31I was going to say.
04:32Absolutely cashed.
04:33You bet the Sun.
04:34Yeah.
04:35Definitely bet the Sun 100%.
04:37They won by like a million.
04:38It wasn't even close.
04:39So that was an easy cash for me.
04:41I had to do it.
04:42I just had to go into the the college football slate coming up this weekend.
04:49You've got I like Baylor here.
04:51Minus three.
04:52You can get it at MGM and minus three everywhere else.
04:54It's three and a half.
04:55Now it opened at minus two and a half for Baylor.
04:58So that line is moving towards Baylor here.
05:00Baylor, as we know, blew it against Colorado this last weekend.
05:04They had that game in hand and they lost on that Hail Mary again.
05:07You know, overtime, all that crap.
05:09So the perception of Baylor probably going to be a little lower this week.
05:12And they're taking on BYU at home here at Baylor.
05:15They're taking on BYU, a team that just destroyed Kansas State in every way you could possibly
05:21imagine a ranked team in Kansas State and BYU destroyed them.
05:24Now BYU is ranked.
05:25So the public perception of them is going to be quite high after they just destroyed
05:28a ranked team.
05:29They're ranked now, taking on a Baylor team that just lost.
05:31Why is Baylor favorite here?
05:33The public's going to be on BYU.
05:35Baylor is going to win this game.
05:36So give me Baylor minus three over at MDM.
05:39Absolutely love that play.
05:40Everybody, the White Sox are going for the record tonight.
05:43Everybody out there, please watch this game.
05:44It is absolutely hilarious.
05:46Jonathan Cannon on the mound for the White Sox.
05:49Will he be able to avoid the record?
05:52Will he give a good performance against Jack Kukoniewicz?
05:57Whatever.
05:58Is that just Kukoniewicz or something?
06:00I always mess that one up.
06:02Yeah.
06:03I have no idea.
06:04He's terrible.
06:05But we're going for the record.
06:06Everybody tune into this.
06:07See, this is what should have been the Netflix documentary.
06:11They're doing one on the Red Sox this year, which I don't know how they're going to wrap
06:14that up because it's kind of a sad ending, I guess, if they don't make playoffs.
06:17They should have done it on the White Sox because, as you said, it's funny and it should
06:21have been the White Sox.
06:22So much more drama, too.
06:24Exactly.
06:25I would rather watch that.
06:26It would be an absolute disaster.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Pedro Gafal.
06:29Could you imagine them doing this documentary with Pedro Gafal and the amount of toxicity
06:34with the front office and all that?
06:35Oh, my God.
06:36It would be great television.
06:37They just missed opportunity.
06:39They picked the wrong socks is what they did because the Red Sox are not having a historic
06:44season.
06:45The White Sox are.
06:46So I would watch that.
06:48I might just watch the season over again if you really want to, since there's no documentary
06:52on it.
06:53But it's very interesting to follow, I think, because I think things like this are more
06:56entertaining.
06:57Well, a good team is good, but either be really bad or really good.
07:02That's entertaining.
07:03Yeah.
07:04And the bad is also just as entertaining.
07:05So good point.
07:06Watch out for that.
07:08Very exciting.
