This is Follow The Money with Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard on VSiN.

**Mitch Moss** (0:19)
Here we go, welcome in. It is Follow The Money on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network, Mitch Moss along with Pauly Howard. We live in downtown Vegas, Riker Resort and Casino is the spot fun program lined up today among the guests, Dave Ross, 30 minutes. Okay, I love the graphic. It says that he has Swimmer's Ear.
He does, but we're also going to talk Cowboys with him. What are the odds on this?

**Pauly Howard** (0:45)
I know what he's going to say on every Dallas related question. So it's more about Swimmer's Ear and why this is such a thing and we can't get rid of it.

**Mitch Moss** (0:53)
Two people, same network. It's not that big of a network, Swimmer's Ear You got to be kidding me. I mean, the odds on this, it has to be like a million to one.

**Pauly Howard** (1:01)
And the audience has been great.

**Mitch Moss** (1:03)
Mike Palm on the show today.

**Pauly Howard** (1:05)
A billion to one.

**Mitch Moss** (1:06)
Sal Palantonio. Will we get Sal Pal's Super Bowl prediction today, Paul? I don't know yet.

**Pauly Howard** (1:13)
Cousin Ralphie said yes.

**Mitch Moss** (1:14)
He does. Okay, he did say that.

**Pauly Howard** (1:15)
He did it a week early, yes.

**Mitch Moss** (1:17)
And Matt, you went on the program coming up. We have tons of football to get into today.
Week one college football, bets that I've added in the National Football League, we'll hit it a lot over the next three hours of this program. We will begin a little major league baseball. Games that are, it's, I like kind of the split today. Bunch of day games, but a bunch of night games as well. And are the Padres going to tease everybody again this year?

**Pauly Howard** (1:42)
Yeah, do you want to make the playoffs? That's five of six they've lost now, and you lose two out of three to Cincinnati.

**Mitch Moss** (1:47)
That is a brutal result from that series.

**Pauly Howard** (1:49)
It is, so still a half game up on Arizona, as they're trying to avoid the sweep against the Red Hot Phillies. But the other thing they're doing is both teams are letting Miami back into this. After Miami gets the big win in Kansas City, and the funny thing about the Marlins, 53-30 against teams with a losing record, 17-39 against teams above 500 But the door is open for Miami, and it's a horrific week for the Padres, how they blew a couple games, especially what happened Sunday against Tampa. Bad job, you're right. And the other thing now, is Atlanta just took a 3-0 lead at Washington. Philly's trying to run them down, and Philly has passed the Cubs now, with their win yesterday, and the Cubs blowing that 4-run lead against the Brewers. And Atlanta and Philly have that big 4-game set this weekend, and play 7 times in the next 10 days. So this is getting juicy.

**Mitch Moss** (2:40)
Sure, that's a bad job there by the Cubs, once they were staked to that 4-0 lead in that game, and cruising along.

**Pauly Howard** (2:46)
Bullpen issues.

**Mitch Moss** (2:47)
For sure, because then you were talking about taking the first two games against the Brewers, then the sweep is actually potentially real despite Mizorowski going today. And even if you could take, you probably needed a sweep, but if you could take three out of four minimum, and you still can, obviously, but losing that game like they did yesterday kind of hurts a little bit. There's a lot, by the way, to look at with the future numbers as a result. Mizorowski at Caesars today, down to even money to lead the league in Ks, and he has a 5K lead over Cease who's going today. Cease was bumped up to $1.30.
I wonder if that win by the Brewers actually had something to do with that, because as we get closer to October and they like wrap up everything, division one seed, whatever, that whole idea of them setting up the rotation for the playoffs and having Mizorowski as healthy as possible and not burning a bunch of innings on him, he might not lead the league in Ks this year, despite putting up these phenomenal numbers throughout the end. And here's the thing.

**Pauly Howard** (3:43)
We're trying to suck you in today with that price. It's a rat line in a Js game.
What do you think?

**Mitch Moss** (3:48)
It's a rat line on his K prop.

**Pauly Howard** (3:50)
Yeah, that too.
