VSiN PrimeTime | August 19, 2026 | Hour 1

**SPEAKER_1** (0:01)
This is VSiN PrimeTime. Live from the Circus Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network.

**Doug Kezirian** (0:20)
We are live in downtown Las Vegas at Circus Resort and Casino. The lovely Circus Resort and Casino in the Sportsbook is starting to get packed. We've got six games on the baseball diamond going on right now. So we're going to have you covered top to bottom. I am Doug Kezirian here in Las Vegas, joined by Will Hill on the other side of the East Coast. Little Coast to Coast action. Will, how are you?

**Will Hill** (0:42)
Doug, what's going on, man? Great to be with you. Yeah, it seems like, I don't know, just an hour ago, a day ago, you and I were elbow to elbow at Naked City, throwing back drinks, eating wings, but I have, unfortunately, I guess fortunately, returned to my homeland, but we'll still have fun together, even though we're not next to each other, but four hours here, a lot of baseball, football is very much on the horizon because full week of preseason starts tomorrow, college not that far, we're 10 days away from college, so should be a fun show, a fun time of the year, Doug.

**Doug Kezirian** (1:15)
And we probably need to clarify for our audience, given this is Las Vegas, the name of the establishment is Naked City, it's a pizza, beer and wings place, okay.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:24)
Yes.

**Doug Kezirian** (1:24)
It was a family. In fact, you brought your family next door, albeit, but you took the road trip with the family to Vegas.

**Will Hill** (1:33)
You witnessed them and everyone at Naked City that night, Matt Youman, Sammy P, Femi, Abebefe, who's usually with me on Wednesdays, witnessed my kids get ejected from their first bar, they walked in and they walked right out. I was told, I think, I don't want to point fingers, but I don't want to mention names.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:48)
Point away. Point away.

**Will Hill** (1:49)
Bring the family, bring the kids, it'll be fine. No big deal. And as soon as they walked in, I think it was the bar, I said, absolutely not. Are you out of your mind? You're going to bring a three year old to a bar. So we had to, we had to slum it next door. Yeah.

**Doug Kezirian** (2:01)
I was going to ask you to give some context. You said your kids got thrown out of their first bar. We weren't trying to pull a fast one at 19 here.
Definitely. Awesome. Awesome sequence. So we have, like I said, six baseball games, that those six 40 Eastern starts really sneak up on you. If you're not ready to kind of play those seven Eastern games you wait, there was one day game still going on. Red Sox with two outs and two on a few innings ago, hit a three run shot to tie it at five. And that's where we stand top nine. So it rolled as Chapman, not a safe situation, but they're the home team. So they bring out Chapman for the ninth. Diamondbacks have one on and one out. So Arizona is an above 500 team. And I believe they said this on the broadcast. I'm probably going to butcher it, but Boston, I think, is 17-0 since, like, whatever, the beginning of whatever month against teams with a winning record.
So remember, they lost to the, they stubbed their foot against the A's recently. But yeah, they've been just dominating in this situation. So down five-two and do come back from five-five. And then the Diamondbacks now have two on with the runner on second in scoring position after a hit-and-run fielder's choice.

**Will Hill** (3:11)
Yeah, and the Red Sox, it looks like a little bit like the July Red Sox here and they have rowied back and I know our buddy, Chris Massera, our mutual friend gets annoyed when Chad Tracy, the manager, overuses Aroldis Chapman and brings him into unnecessary situation in our buddy, Chris, which is why we love him. Gets annoyed at a lot of things, which is why he's great. But right now, like he said, five-five, top of the ninth. Other scores, Philly up three-nothing on Miami.
Yankees down one-nothing. And this is a game I have a play on. And if you listen to VSiN regularly, I've just blindly been betting Yankee unders Doug because it's pretty simple. They can pitch, they can't hit. It seems like every game you look up in the sixth inning, it's one-nothing, it's one-to-one. It's just a struggle for them to score runs. But they're pitching, starting pitching and bullpen have been really good. But this night, that trend might break here is it's one-nothing. But it looks like McMahon just doubled here, was thrown out at second. So it's going to be at least one-one here. And I think set up a man on third. But what interests you here from a baseball perspective here is we're in the middle of August.
