SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

Hey, folks, it's Tim Murray, and here we are, College Football season, long Saturdays ahead, and staying locked in for an entire day of football takes a little bit more than coffee. Loreen's new pouch is built exactly for that, without the nicotine. It works just like the pouches you've seen before. Tuck one in and go about your day. Each has 50 milligrams of caffeine, about half a cup of coffee, plus L-theanine and alpha GPC for smooth, steady focus with no crash. And because it's Loreen, it's also got nano hydroxyapatite, the mineral your teeth are made of. So it gives your daily enamel support in between brushings. It's smooth energy without the jitters, and it comes in mint, cinnamon, and mango, all nicotine free. I love the cinnamon. Give Loreen a try.

Right now, Loreen is offering our listeners up to 50% off at buyloreen.com/college.

SPEAKER_3 (1:15)

That's what I always say, you always follow the money. This is Follow the Money with Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard on VSiN.

Mitch Moss (1:24)

Here we go. Welcome in. Follow the Money on VSiN, Vsports, Betting Network, Mitch Moss, Pauly Howard live, Downtown Vegas, Circa Resort and Casino is your spot as always. Fun show lined up here on a Wednesday. We're going to cover a little bit of everything, including in 30 minutes, Best Bets and the NBA Futures with Zach Cohen. He was the man in charge of putting together VSiN's NBA Betting Guide for the Year available now. And it starts in six days, Pauly, believe it or not. The great Sal Palantonio on the show today.

We can maybe start calling the 5 p.m. Eastern hour, the power hour on Wednesdays. We go a half an hour today with Sal Pal. We go a half an hour with Mike Palm, including You Could Not Be Serious with him. Matt Heumann's Best Bets, Major League Baseball sprinkled in today, some college football as well.

We got a big one on tap, my friend, big one. You're openly rooting against me and the team that I grew up rooting for tonight. Because for some reason you like big markets and that's it.

Pauly Howard (2:24)

Can't have the smallest market team in the World Series, yes.

Mitch Moss (2:27)

Why is that?

Pauly Howard (2:27)

Yes, so this is, they're playing Ohtani and he talked his way into the lineup.

Mitch Moss (2:32)

Was there ever any doubt?

Pauly Howard (2:34)

I think if he told him about I can't go or I'm hurting the team or I'm not 100%, he probably would have benched him. But he said, I can help us win and I got to be out there and I'm healthy. So first things first, they're for their last 27 against lefties.

And they're hitting 193 in the postseason. You're up 2-0 and a best of 7, you're 83% all time. The Dodgers are responsible for four of the comebacks though. But between how they're struggling at the plate, can't put together a rally, Ohtani's been an automatic out.

He's 3 for 20 in the playoffs. One home run since August 18th, and not many RBI is going back as well. And then I got to worry about this Brewers bullpen, which has allowed one earned run. How great they've been, historic. So there's a lot for the Dodgers to overcome. Even though, yes, they're a $1.80 favorite, and they're going to get the best of it almost every time out with their starting pitchers. But between guys I don't trust and their bullpen, there are issues offensively, there are issues against lefties, the great Brewers' pen, maybe they're not going to have 3P here, and it's not going to happen. And you're going to get small market against small market.

Mitch Moss (3:49)

Because of the recent struggles by Babe Ruth here, he is almost 5 to 1 to hit a home run today. Now it's going to have to be lefty on lefty crime with gasser on the mod anyway until they go to the pen.

Pauly Howard (4:01)

Probably should be higher. As bad as he's been. How bad has it been? He showed bunt the other night.

Mitch Moss (4:05)

What number would you actually need to bet Ohtani to hit a home run?

Pauly Howard (4:10)

He can't hit a lefty either and he's in such a funk.

Mitch Moss (4:13)

All it takes is one pitch. Puts it over the park, there you go. Kind of a meatball accident. Oops, there it goes. 428 feet buried into the right field stands. And he's almost five to one right now. I get it with the struggles. It doesn't look pretty as well. And that's why I was asking like if Ohtani told management here that he was good to go, there was absolutely no way they were going to sit him. It was going to have to come down to Ohtani and say, you better sit me. To me, he was never going to do that ever. So this is interesting, by the way. Some great numbers, as always, vsin.com, Steve MacKinnon. And as he pointed out, if you're a chalk better and looking for the best line range with LCS favorites, it has been in the $1.45 and $1.85 range. They are 62 and 26 for almost 20 units since 2000, an ROI of 22.1%.
