00:00The brighter the lights, the bigger the stakes, hunt or be hunted, know your prey, this is
00:18a whole new jungle, this is The Lion's Share, brought to you by BetMGM.
00:27Of course, how about a 33% odds boost token, either on the 12th or 13th.
00:35You do the math, that's like, you know, this weekend, right?
00:38Like you're styling.
00:40You get the 33% odds boost token to use on a straight bet when they opt into the promotion
00:49of any account holder.
00:50So you go to the BetMGM app on iOS or Android, you're styling or go to BetMGM.com, you get
00:56your token, you get full details there, a 33% odds boost token.
01:01And that's today and tomorrow on BetMGM.
01:05So Friday and Saturday, you can use that 33% odds boost token.
01:10They're giving away these boost tokens, honestly, like toilet paper.
01:14It's everywhere.
01:15And Carver High has been cashing in left and right with these boost tokens at every level.
01:20It doesn't even matter.
01:22He's like cashing in those rewards on the swing for defenses.
01:25He's cashing in tennis.
01:27He's cashing in golf.
01:29I mean, what's next, basketball?
01:31I mean, you're going to cash in on that too, aren't you?
01:34It's very possible.
01:35I'm hoping to.
01:36That's for sure.
01:37It would be nice.
01:38But yes, we've been doing well with all the great stuff at BetMGM, including that swing
01:42for defenses where we got a double today and we got ourselves a little parlay boost token
01:46that will probably put a couple of these taters that we're about to do together tonight in
01:52one of those.
01:53We got to cook it, Scotty, on the lion's share brought to you by BetMGM.
01:58We'll start with some of the more chalkier plays tonight.
02:01I'm going to Christian Walker first, late night out in Arizona with the Blue Jays coming
02:07to town.
02:08Now, Walker actually hasn't homered, Scotty, since he destroyed the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine
02:12about a week and a half ago.
02:14He's due.
02:15We've got a guy.
02:16He's due.
02:17And we've got a guy coming in tonight, Yariel Rodriguez with the Jays.
02:19Charts and graphs gives up a lot of hard hit balls, Scotty.
02:22What does Christian Walker do?
02:24He hits the ball hard.
02:25Plus 310 for Walker out in the desert.
02:28Let's get back on the board, big fella.
02:30Yes, I'm with you.
02:31And Suarez, who's been on fire, Marte.
02:35I'm all in on all three of them and certainly Walker.
02:39Next, we will go to San Diego.
02:42Atlanta, of course, was just in Arizona with Christian Walker.
02:45Now they will go to Petco with the soft serve ice cream to see the Padres.
02:49And the good thing for the Braves is they're going to see Randy Vasquez tonight.
02:53And he loves giving up long balls.
02:54Your boy has given up 11 in 58 innings so far this year.
02:58We've got Matt Olson coming in with a good price at plus 375.
03:02He just missed one last night, Scotty, in Arizona out to left center field.
03:07I think he yanks one down the right field line at Petco tonight off of Vasquez.
03:12Plus 375 for Olson.
03:14Soft serve ice cream for everybody.
03:16And I'm also willing to throw Riley Murphy and Kelnick into the mix.
03:20The Braves are starting to get hot and they're winning and they're playing good.
03:26And you're seeing the ball fly out, so I'd be willing to put shackles on any of them.
03:30And Olson.
03:32Why not?
03:33Because like I said, Vasquez, he loves to give them up.
03:36Next, let's go to the Trop for the Rays and the Guardians tonight.
03:40And look at what we got here.
03:41Carlos Carrasco and Todd Bradley.
03:43That sounds like home runs to me.
03:45And Brandon Lau, Scotty, in his career against Carrasco.
03:49Four for eight with two home runs off of him.
03:52He's in the lineup tonight in the two-hole.
03:54Plus 425.
03:56Let's ring the bell, Brandon.
03:58He almost hit one last night, so tonight he will.
04:02Let's hope so.
04:03That would be very nice.
04:04I'm owed one down there at the Trop, by the way, because of that dopey catwalk.
04:07I hope that I get one tonight with Lau.
04:09That would be nice.
04:11The Buccos are in Chicago against the White Sox tonight.
04:15Now, you know, Scotty, I'm not going to go after.
04:18Garrett, don't call me Davy Crockett with one of the pirate bats.
04:22But I will go after Marco Gonzalez, who's making his return to the Pirates.
04:26He has not pitched since April, coming off of the injury list.
04:29What do we do here?
04:30Well, we got the soft tossing lefty.
04:33Let's go with the big, powerful, right-handed hitter.
04:36And that would be Luis Robert Jr.
04:39We will line up, Robert, tonight.
04:40Plus 425 against Gonzalez.
04:43That's fine with me.
04:44If he hits a home run as the Pirates are crossing the plate multiple times
04:49to beat the White Sox, because they stink.
04:51I won't deny Crockett's tough, though.
04:54Crockett is tough for the White Sox.
04:56There's no doubt about that.
04:57Next, the Cubbies and the Cardinals in St. Louis this weekend.
05:02Now, we have a lot of guys, Scotty, believe it or not.
05:04Actually, you shouldn't believe it or not, because this guy stinks.
05:07Who hit the ball well off of Kyle Hendricks,
05:09who's going tonight for the Cubbies.
05:11Hendricks has given up 13 homers in 63 innings already this year.
05:15Now, Arenado, he's got three homers in his career off of Hendricks.
05:19Got a couple other guys with good numbers.
05:21But Alec Burleson, the big lefty, is where I am going to go.
05:25He's got three homers in the month of July.
05:27He's got two in the last week.
05:30And Hendricks gives them up to lefties.
05:31Nine of those 13 he's allowed have been the left-handed hitters.
05:34Plus 575 for the big guy Burleson tonight.
05:38I hope you're right at that price.
05:40I'll say this, though.
05:42The stones I got going today on this Cubs team.
05:45Jimmy Hendricks is having an awful season.
05:48I won't deny it.
05:50At 1 and 7.
05:51And he's been terrible.
05:52But in his career, he has always pitched well
05:57against the St. Louis Cardinals.
05:59He's done incredible things.
06:02Low ERA, winning record, faced them a ton of times,
06:07has beaten them a ton of times.
06:08And Sonny Gray, who's going on the other side in his last two
06:14starts, has been tattooed.
06:16In 9 and 1 3rd, he's given up like 11 runs.
06:21I mean, the guy's been getting jacked all over the place.
06:24And the Cubs are coming off of that sweep at Camden.
06:28So I'm on Hap again.
06:31I'm on the Cubs.
06:32I'm on Hendricks.
06:34I think they're going to win again at Bush
06:36and beat Sonny Gray.
06:37Something is wrong with Sonny Gray in his last two starts.
06:40I don't deny Sonny Gray has been the Cardinals' best pitcher.
06:43But he's hit a wall all of a sudden, too.
06:46Hap is hitting .462 with a homer in his career
06:49off of Sonny Gray.
06:50I know he went to Hap last night,
06:52and he did not get it done for us.
06:53But he does have pretty good numbers against him.
06:56I'm fine with the Cubs winning, Scotty.
06:58They can win 6-1, and Burleson can hit the homer for St. Louis.
07:01That's fine by me.
07:02Next, we go to Citi Field.
07:04Here's your big ball of the night
07:06with the Rockies in town against the Mets.
07:09We are going to go to Brenton Doyle.
07:11Who?
07:12Let me tell you about Brenton Doyle, Scotty.
07:14You're not going to be saying who for much longer.
07:16This dude is on fire.
07:18Six homers so far in the month of July.
07:20Three in the last week.
07:22We've got a soft toss and lefty on the mound
07:24and Sean Manier for the Mets.
07:25Your boy Doyle has been hot, and you're giving me
07:28seven bills plus 700 tonight?
07:30Let's go, Scotty, for the big ball tonight.
07:34And I'm going to go with Nimmo and Lindor
07:37against Flash Gordon.
07:39On top of that, I love your bat.
07:41That's gigantic money.
07:43And Nimmo's been hitting them out all week, too.
07:47Nimmo has been hitting them out all week as well,
07:49so I don't have any problems there.
07:50And there's one game I didn't throw in there,
07:52but I'll tell you.
07:53I want the lineup to come out.
07:55If Alvarez is in there tonight against Andrew Heaney
07:58in that Ranger Astro game, I have both those guys.
08:01Hunter Brown and Heaney could give up a ton of taters.
08:03Keep an eye on the Rangers and the Astros tonight.
08:05I think we can get some homers out there as well.
08:08All right, bonus for you here on The Lion's Share.
08:11Soccer goals for Sunday.
08:14That's right, before we go.
08:15Danny Almo for Spain.
08:17What has he got a chance to do on Sunday?
08:19Not only lift the Euro for Spain,
08:22but win the Golden Boot as well as the top gold scorer for it.
08:26Plus 425 for Almo to score against England on Sunday.
08:30Let's go.
08:31I think that is a fantastic bet.
08:34He scores every game and Spain never loses.
08:38Spain never loses.
08:39And in the night game, the Copa final.
08:41Look, it's a big game.
08:43Everything's on the line.
08:45I thought about going back to some of these guys
08:47on Argentina that have hit for me, Scotty,
08:49but only one guy could score in the final.
08:52Leo Messi, and it's plus 185.
08:54I've seen a lot of minus 110s for him, plus 105.
08:57Plus 185 for Messi on Sunday night.
08:59Let's go.
09:01I mean, this guy in big games, in the World Cup,
09:06in the Euro, in everything.
09:10Everything he does.
09:10What he's done in Miami is insanity.
09:13So putting it past him to score a goal in this game
09:16Sunday night when Spitting Speeds and I are on SportsGrid
09:19doing that Copa final, I'm not going to be surprised at all.
09:24And when you hit that goal and catch that 185,
09:27you know I'll give you a shout out, Carver Hot.
09:29I know you will.
09:30Six-pack on the lion's share.
09:32Walker, Olsen, Lowe, Robert, Burleson, Doyle.
09:35Let's get the taters tonight.
09:36Let's go.
09:38Let's do this all.
09:39Let's do this.
09:55The lion's share presented by BetMGM.
