00:00Welcome to the Beck QL Daily Boost.
00:05I'm Lucy Bird of Beck QL and I'm joined by Matt Horner and Kate Constable and we have
00:10an MLB news for all of you today.
00:13And this is on two heavy hitters, Aaron Judge and Shoei Otani to hit a home run.
00:18So this is Aaron Judge or Shoei Otani to hit a home run.
00:21Not both.
00:22Just one of these guys has to hit a home run for this to cash.
00:26It is plus 165 at BetMGM.
00:28Aaron Judge has been kind of quiet.
00:30His bat has been pretty quiet throughout the playoffs, maybe a heat up.
00:34This one, Shoei Otani has already hit a home run in these playoffs, so we shall see.
00:37But plus 165 at BetMGM, what do you think of this one?
00:40I mean, for this price at 165 for arguably the two best home run hitters on these two
00:46teams right now, I think this is a great bet.
00:49You're getting some decent value.
00:50I mean, alone, Judge is sitting around 265 right now for a home run, Otani 295.
00:56So obviously those are a little bit better odds, but when you couple them together and
01:00it's Otani or Judge, then you're getting some pretty good value here.
01:05I think this is a fun one for if you want some late afternoon, evening baseball action
01:10tonight.
01:11Yeah.
01:12I pretty much feel the same way.
01:14You know, if you just want to sprinkle this one, Judge has been horrendous in the postseason
01:18as he usually always is.
01:19For some reason, he just gets in there and I don't know what it is, but the big games
01:23for Aaron Judge, you're just nervous.
01:25Yeah.
01:27I don't know.
01:28It's just, it's terrible.
01:29It's terrible.
01:30Yeah.
01:31But yeah, so he's going against Seth Lugo.
01:33I've talked about Seth Lugo plenty of times.
01:35I don't think he's nearly as good as what his numbers say.
01:38And then on the other side, Dylan Cease pitching for the Padres against Otani.
01:42Cease is great.
01:43He didn't have the greatest first game there, but he's a really good pitcher.
01:47He just had a bad game, but I mean, it's Shohei Otani and it's Aaron Judge.
01:51They can definitely hit a home run.
01:52So if you want to sprinkle this one for a quarter, half unit, I don't mind it.
01:56Exactly.
01:57It's really, really all there is to say.
01:58These are two home run hitters.
02:00So either one of them could do it tonight.

02:39We also have our favorite bets for today, and I'm sticking with Major League Baseball
02:43and I'm going with the Mets bet Mark Vientos over one and a half total bases in hopes that
02:48the Mets just close this out today and finish it up.
02:50He has hit this in every game of the series so far with seven hits across the three games,
02:55two in game one, three in game two, and another two hits yesterday.
02:59And against Rangers Juarez, he has three hits, a single, a double and a home run.
03:04So I think his chances are pretty good to go over one and a half total bases here.
03:07Love it, Lucy.
03:08I'm going to go over to the NFL.
03:09I'm going to take the Lions minus three.
03:11They are on the road this weekend against the Cowboys.
03:14I just think that the strengths of this Lions team are going to overpower the weaknesses
03:18of the Cowboys team.
03:20I'm not hiding the Cowboys at all.
03:21I think they're just not a good football team this year.
03:25And the Lions run game is extremely strong and going up against a Cowboys run defense
03:29that is among the worst in the league and has given up so many yards.
03:34I just don't believe in the Cowboys.
03:36So I like the Lions this weekend.
03:37I know they're on the road, but I would lay the three with them.
03:41Yeah, I am going to take.
03:43I'm staying in the NFL.
03:45And can I interest anybody out there in the Cleveland Browns?
03:48Anybody?
03:49No.
03:50No.
03:51Anybody?
03:52No one's interested?
03:53No.
03:54Okay.
03:55I guess it'll just be me betting on the Browns again.
03:56Absolutely disgusting.
03:58There was a plus nine on the board.
03:59I just looked at it.
04:01It's gone.
04:02So it is now eight and a half everywhere.
04:03The nine is gone.
04:04It got taken.
04:06Nine is kind of a key number there.
04:07Three field goals.
04:08So that was taken off the board.
04:10Still eight and a half.
04:11I'd still take that.
04:12I'm betting over a touchdown I would take.
04:15Nobody wants to bet the Browns.
04:16I mean, it's just obvious.
04:17Last week, nobody wanted to bet the Browns either.
04:19I bet the Browns, and that was a mistake.
04:20It was the most obvious bet in the world to bet the Commanders, and all of you that bet
04:25the Commanders, good for you.
04:27You won.
04:28This week, I'm going with the Browns again because nobody's going to want to bet the
04:31Browns, and the house is going to definitely need the Browns because everybody's going
04:36to have the Eagles in their Moneyline Parleys.
04:38Moneyline Parleys, the Eagles are going to be in it every single time because the Browns
04:42are terrible.
04:43So, hey, we've seen the largest underdog win multiple times this season of the entire week.
04:49So can the Browns win this game?
04:51Yes.
04:52So I'm going to take the plus eight and a half, plus nine, whatever you can get it at.
04:55Give me the Browns.
04:56Okay, very nice.
04:57I guess that is the point.
04:59We will not be interested in the Browns, and that makes it more of a viable bet because
05:03the public is staying away.
05:05So this is very smart.
