This is VSiN PrimeTime. Live from the Circus Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network.

**Tim Murray** (1:02)
We are off and running on a Tuesday night alongside Matt Youmans. I'm Tim Murray. Matt, we got the Betbashers starting to make their way into lovely Las Vegas and here at Circus and the one and only Brett McMurphy. I was just chatting with him not too long ago and he's going to join us in studio. So the big shots are coming around. Word on the street, rumor has it, the bear, Chris Felica, is in town and I just saw Will Hill and I think he did about three sets of curls before coming into studio.

**Matt Youmans** (1:36)
Will Hill is here and he's got his seven or eight kids with him.

**Tim Murray** (1:41)
I think it's nine, ten.

**Matt Youmans** (1:42)
I don't know. They're not allowed to be in circuit with the kids. So I think he's staying down at the D. But yeah, we're seeing a lot of Betbashers. We were meeting some outside the studio right before the show tonight. Anytime you have the man, the myth, the mustache, the McMurphy on the show, it's a special show, especially in studio.

**Tim Murray** (1:59)
So he will.

**Matt Youmans** (2:00)
How about Jeff Sherman? First time he's a member of the Circus Sports Odds team, he's going to be on the show tonight.

**Tim Murray** (2:06)
We can revisit our behind the counter with Jeff Sherman. So excited to talk to Jeff. We'll talk to Matt Grill. David Bearman will jump on the show. So a whole lot going on. As always, just a reminder, the VSiN College Football Betting Guide is out, and we will be talking college football throughout the show as well. But Matt, you know, we were welcomed to a pretty exciting day yesterday of Major League Baseball. Some comebacks, some big time performances, some underdogs playing well. And tonight, Matt, in just a little bit, we will see the debut of one Tarek Schubel as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers. And that is where we start our show.
You know, we were just talking, I think you and I were both talking to a loyal listener who lives in Chicago. And he said, do the Cubs have a shot tonight against Schubel? I said, I think so. I think they do have a shot. And that is our game of the night, Chicago Cubs. After winning last night 10 to 5 over the Los Angeles Dodgers, they are pretty significant underdogs. Even though, Matt, last night when we looked at the board, there were some minus $2 out there. And here at Circa, it's down to minus $185. So is there some sharp money coming in on the Chicago Cubs at plus $165 as a home underdog?

**Matt Youmans** (3:37)
Well, I would believe so. I noticed today, if you look at the betting splits, the several sports books reporting the Dodgers taking more than 80% of the bets and the money. And when you have a situation like that with a public favorite and lopsided action, a lot of times you will get sharper play on the home dog. And I think that's the situation we have tonight with the Cubs.
And also you got a pitcher going for the Cubs who's got a pretty good background as an underdog.

**Tim Murray** (4:04)
Tweet today from at bet underscore labs, Javier Asad, 20 and 9 straight up in his career at Wrigley Field, 9 and 2 straight up Matt as an underdog. And Asad, the starter tonight for the Chicago Cubs at around plus 165 So to our loyal listener who made a point to stop by the studio, much appreciated to him. He said hello to you. Hello to me.
And he said, do they have a shot? I said, yeah, they do. And I wouldn't be opposed to a little bet on the Chicago Cubs tonight as a home dog against Scoobel.
