Live Bet Saturday | August 8, 2026 | Hour 4

This is VSiN, The Sports Betting Network.
Sometimes there's bets out there that you are so wrong about, you could potentially lose them twice. That's one thing that happened today. I'm happy I did not lose two bets on the Yankees and the Braves. He's Joe Cerauno, I'm Dustin Swedelson. This is Live Bet Saturday on VSiN, The Sports Betting Network. Final score in the Bronx, Yankees win five to four. I liked the under and I bet the Braves.
Neither came home. Luckily, only bet one of those things. And a lot of people would say it was karma for congratulating Joe on winning a first five bet that wound up losing. That's why I lost the full game on the Braves. But George Lombard Jr, with a home run in this contest, his second of his career, he becomes the first New York Yankee ever to start his career in his first four games, to have two home runs and three walks in his first four games. George Lombard Jr leads the Yankees to a win over Atlanta five to four. How about this? The Yankees won the first two games in this series.

**Joe Ceraulo** (1:12)
They go for the sweep on Sunday against who was the hottest team in baseball, right? The Braves had won eight in a row going into this series and they were up to nothing going into the bottom of the ninth last night. And the Yankees have just, you know, a flip switch in the bottom of the ninth inning last night. Rizella Glacius blew it and it's been all Yankees ever since this series. How about the Red Sox, Dustin? Two on, one out. Jaren Duran, who's quietly been kind of hot lately and what's been overall a disappointing, underwhelming season. He's the tying run at the dish right now.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:45)
Plus 180

**Joe Ceraulo** (1:46)
Can you do it?

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:47)
Plus 180 Do you want to do it?

**Joe Ceraulo** (1:49)
You want to lift eight?

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:50)
What I say was last segment, like plus 220 or so. It wasn't like it wasn't that I had plus 260 Okay, plus 260 But we now know there's two runners on.

**Joe Ceraulo** (1:59)
Yeah, what am I? Oh, I'm showing plus 240

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:02)
I got plus 215 right now.
I don't want to open it. I'm going to open another book, see if I can get a better number. But we may lose it. Two strikes on Duran. It is lefty on lefty.

**Joe Ceraulo** (2:12)
I just took a half a unit plus 250

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:14)
Let me get in here. And Duran just struck out. Duran just struck out as I said that.
But I'm going to join you because I said I like that. I found plus 240 Let's do that. Plus 240
We're on the Red Sox. Let's see. I don't trust the A's bullpen. Also, I just kind of want something live to fire off here and sweat out the rest of the way because we lost on the Braves.

**Joe Ceraulo** (2:34)
We're degenerates. We want a little something to wet our beef.

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:36)
OK. And at plus 240, we can win back all of the losses on Atlanta. So that works out for us.

**Joe Ceraulo** (2:44)
My will, you're a brave is still pending in the account, even though so dirty. Oh, man. If he pinch hits, I'm going to be pissed.

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:51)
What if he pinch hits and hits a home run, though?

**Joe Ceraulo** (2:53)
I'm going to be happy.

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:55)
That's what I'm saying.

**Joe Ceraulo** (2:59)
But if you gave me the option, right? Nullify the ticket or let it ride. Absolutely. Because the value plus 150, I thought it was great value for you. Sure. That value is out the window.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:07)
Absolutely.

**Joe Ceraulo** (3:08)
If you're telling me one at bat to get an RBI, I know I want like 15 to one at a zero to plus 150 at that point.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:14)
Yeah. Here's a frustrating part for like wanting to believe in Boston. It's Connor Wong at the plate. He's the reason why they traded for Adley Rutchman. They're just not getting a lot of production out of the catcher spot. It is a lefty on righty matchup. So theoretically, he could be in a good spot here to do something.
You just need him on base. He gets on, we go back to the top of the order. Is he capable of doing that?

**Joe Ceraulo** (3:38)
I don't know. Not with an 0-2 count. I mean, jump is dealing. He's 99 pitches in and he hit 97 miles per hour on his 99th pitch. Ten strikeouts.
