This is Live Bet Sunday on VSiN, the Sports Betting Network.
Coming to you from the Circus Sportsbook here in downtown Las Vegas, I'm Scott Seidenberg. This is Live Bet Sunday here on VSiN, the Sports Betting Network. You guys can contribute to the program. Hit me up on Twitter, at Scott's On Air and at VSiN Live. NFL preseason week number two will conclude tonight with Sunday Night Football on Fox. The Seattle Seahawks and the Tennessee Titans, where the Titans are down to a three and a half point favorite now. Yesterday, they were four and a half point favorites, so the market moving against them. And in fact, I do see some books that have the Titans at just three point favorites. We'll talk about that game coming up here in a little bit. At the top of the hour, we will have the Little League Classic in Major League Baseball in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It will be the Milwaukee Brewers and the Atlanta Braves playing a baseball game in a small park there in Williamsport. Traditionally, it's been a good underpark. The past couple of years have been unders in this Little League Classic. But we'll tell you why I do think runs are scored coming up here tonight. Total is seven and a half. Right now, it is a pretty close split. We're seeing Atlanta minus 112, Milwaukee can get plus 104 So it's kind of a short line here for this game, the Little League Classic tonight in Williamsport. There is some Major League Baseball games that are going on right now. Checking out the scoreboard, you have the Guardians with a 6-2 lead over the Rockies, top of the eighth inning in Colorado, top of the fifth inning in Seattle, Cubs with a 6-2 lead over the Mariners, but they are threatening for more with the bases loaded and just one out. Bottom of the sixth inning in San Diego, Padres a 5-1 lead over the Twins, Dodgers a 4-0 lead over the Pirates, in the bottom of the sixth inning in LA., and going to the bottom of the sixth in Arizona, the Reds a 3-0 lead over the Diamondbacks, and excuse me, Milwaukee, the minus 1-12 favorite, over the Braves coming up here at the top of the hour in that little league classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. But moments ago, about 30 minutes or so, we received breaking news in the NFL. Ashton Jeanty starting running back of the Las Vegas Raiders was injured in practice today. Now, how severe is this injury? We won't know until we get confirmation of any tests that occur, but the reports coming out from every Raider reporter, and it's all over Twitter now, it's blowing up on social media. Ashton Jeanty, one report I saw that he collided with a teammate. The other report said that he just went down diving for a ball that was out of his range. Either way, Jeanty could not put any pressure on his leg when he was helped off the field. And after the injury, the Raider's teammates, his Raider teammates, all huddled up and said a prayer for Ashton Jeanty who was helped off the field. Now, I don't necessarily care how religious of a person you are. I don't care how important faith might be to the team. You don't stop practice and have a prayer circle for a guy who rolls his ankle.
It just doesn't happen, right? If Ashton Jeanty had a minor injury and limped off the field, they're resuming practice. They're going on to the next play. But for the reports telling us that the team gathered in a huddle and said a prayer, again, you never want to assume things. It makes me think this is a serious injury. And his teammates know that it's a serious injury based on what they saw, based on the Jeanty reaction or whatever. So now, what do we think about this moving forward here from a Raider perspective, from a Jeanty perspective? Well, my first inclination is to run and bet the under on Ashton Jeanty's season long props. And the sports books, very quick to take that down. Now, some sports books lingered a little bit because they were maybe behind the news. But for the most part, every online book, all the major books, it's all off now. You can't get Ashton Jeanty. If you were able to grab the under 975 and a half and it was floating around when the first tweet came out, more power to you. And some of these sports books, they all have different house rules. But for DraftKings and Fan Duel specifically, their house rules state, quote, all bets action if player plays at least one regular season snap. So if you were able to get a Jeanty under, and this is not a season ending injury, and he comes back at whatever point in the season and plays, your bet is golden.
