Here at VSiN, we spend every day breaking down the numbers, finding the edges, getting the best bets. But when it came time to launch our own store, we turned to Shopify to make it happen.
Setting up the VSiN store was pretty straightforward. Their templates and AI tools got us up and running fast. Looking sharp and professional from day one, no coding needed.

This is VSiN PrimeTime. Live from the Circus Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas on VSiN, the sports betting network.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:14)
Back at it on VSiN PrimeTime, Dustin Swedelson alongside Will Hill. We got you covered tonight here on VSiN, the sports betting network. As we come back from break, runs being scored in a couple of different locations. First in Queens, New York, where the Dodgers have tied things up with the Metropolitan's 1-1, fourth inning, and they have another runner on first with one out here in the fourth. Over in Baltimore, a double by Michael Harris has driven a run for the Atlanta Braves. That is now a 2-1 score. Baltimore on top, however, Atlanta is threatening with a runner in scoring position. Actually, two runners. Oh no, the run didn't score. Never mind. How do you not score on a double? One out, Mauricio Dubon, who is a lefty killer, is at the plate with one out. So they'll need him to drive in the run. It's actually 2-0. I'm shocked that a run didn't get home on the double by Michael Harris. More on that in the team's also in action right now with our next guest. He is Rowan Kavner. You can read him over at foxsports.com, and he joins us on the Progressive Guest Line. Rowan, thanks for doing this, man. We appreciate the time as always.
Let's talk deadline because a lot of reports coming out about the Los Angeles Dodgers, their aggressiveness potentially for Tarek Scoobel.
What do you think the market looks like for Scoobel and do you anticipate him being dealt before we get to the deadline?

**Rowan Kavner** (2:38)
It depends what day of the week it is, I guess.
I think if you asked me yesterday, I said, no, not going to happen. And now I'm like, yeah, I can kind of talk myself into it. I think I just keep going back. Look, Scoobel is not Cho Heyotani, but I keep going back to 2023 and the Angels kind of being in the exact same position that the Tigers kind of find themselves in now, where you're kind of three to five games out of a playoff spot and you say you can either build around this guy and go try to win right now or you can get something back. Of course, the Angels case, that didn't work out so well. They knew pretty quickly that was over. Now you get nothing for Shohei Otani. So look, this is a Tigers team that's obviously more built to win than I think that Angels team was clearly. But I think if you ask me today, I would think they maybe are open, more open to trading him. I would guess he goes, but it's 50-50 every day, it feels like.

**Will Hill** (3:37)
Rowan, right now the Tigers lead the Royals two to one. They play the Royals Saturday. They play them Sunday.
Let's just say, you know what? They win four out of the next five instead of being four out of a playoff spot. They're one or two out of a playoff spot. They keep Scooble. Where do the Dodgers pivot? Hunter Green from the Reds, Joe Ryan from the Twins? Is there another name kind of off the radar that you might have in mind?

**Rowan Kavner** (3:57)
I think if it's not one of the top, you know, sure, Joe Ryan, I guess, is a guy that you can feel comfortable.
You just got to say, is Joe Ryan, how much better is he than Tyler Glass now? How much better is he than the third or fourth option you have if you're the Dodgers here? I think if it's not a scubal type, then I think you might end up seeing more, maybe what they did last year, where you're getting a couple guys on the margins here and there, a relief pitcher, something like that, maybe a backup catcher, and it's not gonna be all that exciting. So we're really only talking about who's a guy that can start one of the first three games of a playoff series for you, and is he that much better than what you have at your disposal already? So they're just so much better equipped right now than they were for you during these last two championship runs, that they could do nothing and they would be the favorites.
