[upbeat rock music] This is VSiN, the sports betting network. The numbers told the story. They always do. He's one of those idiots who believe in analytics. This is a numbers game with Gil Alexander on VSiN.
0:20
July the 17th be with you on a Friday morning. Welcome on in to a numbers game. I'm Justin Sweetilson. That is Kelly Bidlin. Yo. We got you covered for the next three hours right here on VSiN, the sports betting network.
0:33
Appreciate you hanging out with us. SiriusXM channel 158, YouTube TV, the VSiN Watch app and radio affiliates across the United States of God Bless America, and Game Plus in Canada. I did it without a reminder.
0:44
What's up, Kelly Bidlin? Nailed it. Got it. Good morning, Justin. How we doing, man? I'm doing good. Yeah. I'm doing good. I woke up.
0:51
I, uh, I updated my leaderboard o- on my phone as soon as I could open these eyes at 4:30 in the morning with the alarm going off, and I said, um, "Who are these people?"
0:59
[laughs] As I'm sure a lot of people are doing at the Open Championship over the past couple days, yes. Yeah, I was like, "Okay, we'll do, we'll do plenty on the golf throughout." It is live currently in action.
1:09
The sun, despite the odds, still out at this course, something I did not anticipate seeing throughout the weekend at Royal Birkdale. We have a lot to get to as far as the W- uh, uh, uh, the World Cup is concerned.
1:19
It is our final weekend of World Cup action. We will be sad to see it go. We have one match tomorrow for third place. We have one for the title on Sunday.
1:27
I'm fascinated by all the [laughs] storylines with all four teams remaining. It does, however, feel a bit un-American, though, that there is even a third place, third place game.
1:36
I feel like it's 50/50 whether I'll watch it or not. No, you're gonna watch it. It's a third place game.
1:43
But i- it's France and it's England, and there's a lot of history there, and I'm not gonna start yelling the years of the wars [laughs] that, that we've been in with all of them.
1:52
You're gonna keep, you're gonna keep bringing it back. Look, there's good people on both sides of these wars each ti- well, not the, the big one- [laughs]... but you get my point.
1:58
The French have helped us in the past is all my point is. If it wasn't for the French, we'd still be p- speaking the old English. Someone tweeted us that earlier this weekend- That's right [laughs]...
2:06
I thought it was very good. Um, no, you're gonna watch. Mbappé with the Golden Boot. Here, I'm gonna force you to place a bet for the Golden Boot, and that's gonna make you have to watch on Saturday.
2:15
Oh, yeah, we dove into that market yesterday. Should I do my PSA now on that, I guess? Yeah, do it. Uh, be very careful with your markets and what you're betting if you're in- interested in Golden Boot.
2:25
Uh, we were talking about that yesterday with DraftKings odds. B- be very careful. FanDuel has clearly Golden Boot odds to win Golden Boot.
2:34
Odds to win Golden Boot is not the same thing as top goal scorer in the tournament. Just keep that in mind. I, I, I've seen a lot on Twitter about w- way different odds floating around on this.
2:45
At FanDuel, y- you've got Messi's like -200 to win Golden Boot, uh, as we got it up there.
2:51
We know he's gonna be playing in, in the final, and then that's where we were talking about the assist tiebreakers coming into play.
2:57
You and I [laughs] were both kind of like, "Wow, Messi feels a little light at even money." Well, that makes sense for the Golden Boot race. Yeah, we, we were right. He's, he's, he... That was too light.
3:06
He should be -200. Top goal scorer, you can find him around even money 'cause I'm assuming if there's any d- uh, any ties there, that is gonna be a dead heat situation. Yeah, I want Mbappé, by the way.
3:17
I, I, I, I think- I see now you've flipped. Yeah. Yeah, I've, I've flipped m- my mentality.
3:20
One, I, I don't think myself, I'm not gonna include other people in it, it feels like sharp soccer people have, have given Spain a lot of credit for the style that they play with. Mm-hmm.
3:29
I think there's one team that's a really tough m- matchup, you know, for Messi to, to get one in the back of the net. It's Spain with the way they play. It's gonna be limited possessions.
3:37
It's gonna be limited shots on net. They're gonna try and smother him defensively, keep him from beating them. Because the way Spain plays as a team, I think it's gonna be tough for Messi to score.
3:45
And on the other side, Mbappé has a golden matchup, right? He's got England licking their wounds. Yep. You've got a, a manager for England that's not gonna be around the next time the World Cup happens.
3:55
He's probably getting fired as soon as that match ends on Saturday. And then you're gonna have backups in that matchup. Mm. The motivation's not there for England.
4:03
The motivation for France is for Mbappé to continue to add to his legacy. I think he's gonna get one, maybe two, in this matchup with, with England.
4:10
I can't wait to talk to Paul Carr, Chris Falica about this situation 'cause I do, I, I just... W- we don't know, right? You and I don't know so much of how many backups are gonna play and how...
4:19
what does that mean for an Mbappé, right? Do stars, do you, do you wanna win this award, or do you just wanna make sure you're, you're healthy for your next actual game that matters and not a third place game?
4:29
I think this, these are all interesting questions. Can't wait to get in- uh, into it with those guys. You want real analysis on the World Cup, vsin.com. Nigel Sealey, Alex Blowers- Yeah...
4:37
already with articles up on both of these final matchups. They've done yeoman's work, really.
4:42
I don't know what a yeoman is, but I know that's the work that they've been doing on the website because I use it every day to prep for the show. I use it every day to find the bets that I like, the angles.
4:49
You don't blindly follow, but once you sort of get the gist of the way people who, who analyze the sport day in and day out feel about certain games and situations, you can come up with your own way to handicap these things.
5:00
We also have the baseball second half. 28 teams get underway for their second half tonight. In case you missed it last night, the Mets victorious against the Phillies 4-1 as Francisco Álvarez goes yard twice.
5:13
Brett Baty hits a homer. Christian Scott, five and two-thirds, three hits, no runs, no walks. We lost that prop on the over one and a half walks, but seven strikeouts we did cash.
5:21
Plus 117 on Aaron Nola had to have over five and a half Ks in that game. But the story coming from the Mets out of that, Kelly, they've informed teams that everyone except Juan Soto, Nolan McLain, Carson Benge, A.J.
5:35
Ewing, and Christian Scott are available. That's per Chelsea Janes, who covers the team. Mm. Which, a name that was not mentioned as untouchable would be shortstop Francisco Lindor- Yep... which is fascinating to hear.
5:45
And as a Mets fan, I just can't help but reflect and s- and think back to signing Juan Soto Literally Ted Williams, of his generation. 27 years old, putting up monster numbers across the board.
5:58
But it does feel as if the New York Mets have sold their soul for, for Juan Soto.
6:02
And for all the, the, the transgressions of Francisco Lindor on the field, where there's been a lot of down moments, there's been plenty of up moments in clutch situations where he's come through.
6:11
The one thing that I can appreciate about Francisco Lindor is the way that he meets with the media. He stands up when they're in the middle of adversity.
6:18
He wants to c- have control of that clubhouse to motivate his teammates, while Juan Soto has made it very clear he has no thoughts of being a leader, despite having the richest contract for a position player outside of Shohei Ohtani.
6:30
Because of that, I feel like the Mets are losing their soul here if they do trade Francisco Lindor. Mm. Yeah. Well, maybe it makes sense, man. I think it's a good point.
6:40
All right, ACC media days going down in North Carolina. We will check in with Alex Donno later on in the program, live on the scene. And we're gonna play two clips for you later on in the show.
6:50
A crazy statement by a coach that's straight up just lying. I mean, it, it's one of the greatest lies of all time I've ever heard.
6:55
[laughs] And another head coach in the ACC apparently going through an identity crisis, but more importantly, we need to update you right now on the British Open.
7:05
I look at this leaderboard, Kelly Bidlin, and there is a gentleman by the name of Lucas Herbert at the top of it right now. Eight under for today. He shot a 70 in round one.
7:15
He is currently your leader with 132 as his total score, and he was one putt away from history not long before we started the program today. Yeah, he tied history.
7:25
A bogey on 18, uh, send, it sends him to finishing with a 62. He had 61 in sights. Uh, that would've been the lowest round ever at an Open Championship.
7:35
Uh, instead, the 62, he ties with Branden Grace, uh, from 2017 at this exact same s- course, uh, who went with a 62.
7:44
And, uh, while everybody was kinda waiting for the Lucas Herbert, was on Lucas Herbert watch for 62, y'all forgot about Sam Burns, 'cause my guy Sam Burns came rushing, uh, down the back nine too.
7:54
Went eight under on his round with six birdies on the back nine. He, uh, also finishes his round with a 62. He is five under for the tournament, eight under on his day.
8:06
Uh, so tho- uh, those are now three times, let me make sure this way, since 2017, we have had three different courses that have given up 62s, uh, to two different golfers in major championship golf. Wow.
8:19
This isn't just an Open Championship thing. This is just how much better golfer, golfers are these days. That, that's what that tells me. So, um, Lucas Herbert is your leader right now, eight under.
8:29
He is two clear of Jackson Suber. And the guy everybody seemed to forget about this week, Cameron Young, has m- uh, just finished his round too. He is six under par as well, tied with Jackson Suber there.
8:41
Uh, then it is Sam Burns, Sungjae Im at five under par. Big group then at four under par. Lucas Herbert's updated odds. Go to the live odds for this event. Scottie Scheffler your favorite, plus 420.
8:54
Then it is Cameron Young at plus 680. Lucas Herbert, plus 890. What was he before the round, [laughs] Dustin, over at DraftKings? 290 to one. [laughs] What was he before, what was he before round one? 280 to one.
9:07
And this is, we wrote, we had great write-ups at vsin.com on this. Go check that out. Myself, Matt Brown, uh, Wes Reynolds, Matt Humans, all writing out, uh, about the first round action that we all saw.
9:18
The one thing that I wanted to make clear in my piece, Dustin, was there, I know there are a lot of casuals that, that, that catch on for major golf. Jackson Suber, not a nobody.
9:29
There are some nobodies and some surprise names that are, often happen on the top of the Open Championship leaderboard, but this is a guy that has played very well t- He has six top six f- or three top six finishes in his last six events.
9:41
He's been playing very good golf coming into this Open. He's just never played links golf before. That's the surprise. Scottie Scheffler just underway, Kelly. Yeah. And his first shot of the day.
9:50
He's in a group with Tyrrell Hatton as well right now. I know someone that a lot of people were high on coming into this event.
9:56
Also getting going in the next five or six minutes there at Royal Birkdale, Tommy Fleetwood, Jon Rahm, all set to tee off their first holes of the day. We will keep you posted all day long.
10:06
Scottie Scheffler right now still the favorite, plus 420. At what point, Kelly, do we just go, you know what? It's either too low, 'cause it was about seven, eight to one yesterday- Yeah...
10:16
two days ago, before this event started. Or at this point in time, now that someone has set the bar for what the expectations are- Mm-hmm...
10:23
to win this event, with the leaderboard shaking out the way that it has, do we anticipate a surge from sc- from Scottie here? Man, I would think so. I think this continues w- uh, with, with Scottie Scheffler.
10:33
Two under par, though, you're talking. You're talking six shots off the lead. [sighs] I'm not gonna hate that. I mean, I look, I don't think Lucas Herbert is the guy who ends up winning this event.
10:42
Uh, but I do expect scoring to continue. That was something you and I brought up throughout the course of the week.
10:47
If conditions were gonna be like this, and the wind is relatively calm, the, it's really more about the baked-out golf course that these guys are having to work their way around than really dealing with any elements.
10:59
So, I, I know I mentioned it once or twice throughout the week. I'm not really shocked that we saw a couple 62s today. I think there are some... It's an Open Championship course. There are gonna be some ugly scores.
11:09
We are s- we are seeing some big names that are gonna miss the cut, but these low scores are, I think are gonna be out there for the next couple days.
11:15
I appreciate you including me for a statement that I did not make- [laughs]... that you made, but it looks right. So it looks like you, you're giving me credit- Hey, man, we're a team, bro...
11:22
means that I brought up the same thing. Uh, below the cut line right now, well, we're a team on this one, Matt Fitzpatrick below the cut line. Yeah.
11:27
Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama, and Brooks Koepka all currently below that cut line. A lot of big names. They may, uh, be going home early. Fire up the PJ.
11:36
See if you can, uh, you know, group together on the way home. Yeah, that's right. Little carpool. Might be able to s- yeah, save some, uh, save some gas money, yeah.
11:43
All right, when we return, baseball, second half, 28 teams underway. I like this dog at +110, despite the opposing pitcher on an absolute heater. I'll tell you who that is next on The Numbers Game.
12:00
You're here because you want an edge. That's what separates listeners from winners. But let's be real, mindset alone doesn't get bets home.

13:08
It's a numbers game on VSiN, the sports betting network. Kelly, uh, back in the day, maybe about two, three years ago, he'd be considered a Bear in some places. When I lived in West Hollywood- Wow...
13:19
I was considered a Bear. I was definitely considered a Bear when I lived in West Hollywood. You don't think you are anymore? I don't live there anymore.
13:24
Yeah, but you don't, you don't think you're considered a Bear anymore? I guess, does that travel with you? Yeah, it... Of course it travels. And the OG of Bears is our next guest. He is Chris 'The Bear' Fallica.
13:33
He is the host of Bear Bets over at Fox Sports, and he joins us now on the Progressive guest line. Chris, we'll, we'll get to the World Cup, we'll get to some of the horse- Mm-hmm...
13:42
racing as well, but I wanna continue a conversation we had during the break where you and I might be on opposite sides here, and I like the case you're making.
13:49
The Miami Hurricanes, I'm a fan, you're an alum, so obviously you're a fan. Minus 136 to win the ACC. Media day's going down in, in North, uh, or not north, in Greensboro, North Carolina right now.
14:01
I'm not willing to lay that number because I have trust issues with Mario Cristobal, but I thought your argument was pretty strong as to why they might be worth a look on the other end going against me.
14:12
I've already bet it. I bet it at 135 already. So, like, you look at the schedule. They're, they're gonna be in the ACC Championship game. I mean, they do have the trip to, to Clemson and that.
14:21
Who knows what Clemson is going to be. But w- when have they not shown up for, for a big game under Mario Cristobal? Every, every big game they have, they, they showed.
14:29
And I think, I think that Mario Cristobal, uh, kinda gacks games away, I think that narrative, uh, needs to go away.
14:36
Yes, they did lose l- against Louisville last year with, what, four Carson Beck interceptions, three may... I think it was four, and the fourth one didn't count because the play was called back.
14:45
So they lost that game and Ret- and, uh, Jeff Brohm's always giving them problems. Yeah. Uh, the SMU game was a game where they had eight starters out, uh, a late flag on a weird call.
14:59
Wind up losing in overtime against a good SMU team. So you, you lost those games and the rest of the season and so those inferior teams that they needed to pummel to, to get to the playoff, they did.
15:08
So I, I think that's a thing of the past.
15:10
The only issue I have with, uh, Miami, well, I shouldn't say issue, concern, the biggest issue/concern I have is while I believe they're going to be more talented than they were last year, you lose the guts leaders- Yeah...
15:25
locker room guys on the team. You lose Keyonté Scott. You lose C.J. Daniels. You lose Keylan Marion. Uh, you'll, you'll lo- you'll lose Ruben Bain. You'll lose Akheem Mesidor.
15:36
Like, the g- heart in CeCe Magoa, you'll lose those guys who not only were great players, but great leaders that kinda self-policed the team.
15:44
So you're gonna need a, a, a Moten or a Fletcher or a Tony or a Motoré, someone like that to step in and kinda be that glue guy in the locker room. But, uh, talent-wise, uh, they are by far the best team in the ACC.
15:58
I don't disagree with anything you said. I, I just think about maybe it's not even Cristobal, maybe it's some of the transgressions of the past. Remember late games at Pitt- Yeah... couple years ago.
16:07
Uh, Syracuse at the end of the year. Syracuse. Georgia Tech at the end of the... Georgia Tech was Cristobal. But y- you're right. Including the playoffs too. Let's factor in how big those games are.
16:16
He always shows up dialed up. They always win at the line of scrimmage. And at this point, I just trust them with transfer quarterbacks.
16:22
We've reached a point in college football in this landscape now, we're finding out who knows how to work the transfer portal and get players, but more importantly- Mm-hmm... how to work them in and develop them.
16:32
Miami back-to-back years. Cam Ward, number one pick in the draft, that was not anticipated. Carson Beck, a third rounder going to Arizona, might start this year.
16:40
And now they bring in maybe the best of them all in Mensah. I bet him 16 to 1 here at Circa for the Heisman. Do you think he has a chance to be a part of that elite group, or is he on the outside looking in?
16:51
Oh, he absolutely has a chance to be part of the elite group because I think the winner of that Miami-Notre Dame game on November 7th is going to be undefeated and be the number one ranked team in the country going into the playoff.
17:02
And I think if you have, uh, certainly the quarterback at Notre Dame, if they go undefeated, uh, he will win the Heisman Trophy, CJ Carr.
17:09
With Miami, the only concern I have with your bet there is do we have a situation where there's a little bit of a votes play? Does, does Malachi Tony get some votes? Hmm. Uh, does Mark Fletcher get some votes?
17:20
I think you'd be in a really good position, but I would c- be concerned about that. But I don't think this is going to be a year in general where you can look at that list right now,
17:29
anybody below Trinidad Chambliss, just get rid of right now. Uh, well, I shouldn't say. Hmm. Gunner Stockton would be a guy that you could throw in there.
17:37
But w- with the talent level at quarterback and you kinda have that separation of, of teams and players there, Carr, Manning, Mensah, Moore, Sain, Chambliss, like, Stockton potentially.
17:50
Like, it's gonna be one of those teams 'cause one of those teams is going to be number one.
17:55
One of those teams is gonna be 11 and 1, 12 and 0 most likely, and one of those quarterbacks will ni- This is not going to be a Fernando Mendoza coming from off the map at 100, 150 to 1 or a Travis Hunter of 65, 70, 80 to 1 a couple years ago.
18:08
This is gonna be a very form full year, I believe, uh, in the Heisman market All I know, fellas, is it's gonna be a long college football season for this Florida State grad.
18:18
[laughs] And I don't wanna see that ACC odds board, like, ever again. [laughs] That is a real depressing thing to look at. Boy, 35 to one and, uh, minus 135. Okay, over to the World Cup, Chris.
18:29
Let's head there to, uh, one of the most historic pitches in all of soccer, uh, the Meadowlands. We- we'll go over there for the, uh- [laughs]... World Cup final here, Spain and Argentina.
18:39
I think I'm gonna be sitting on the sidelines, but you're loaded up with a couple more bets for the final. What are you looking at here? Yeah.
18:45
Where, where, where Schem Messi and, uh, Giorgio Chianalia and Pele, uh, ma- made their, made their hay- Of course... over, uh, in, in north, in northern Jersey.
18:54
I do think Spain to lift the cup is the, the play that I like the most here.
18:59
I, I believe Argentina is going to be a very trendy public side, but I just think the way Spain have the ability to control the ball and, and ma- and just kinda suck the life out of the game, uh, like they had, like they did against France, uh, like, like they did against Portugal.
19:17
Uh, if it gets to extra time and it gets to penalties, uh, you would think with Emi Martinez, Argentina might find a little bit of magic, but this feels like a one nil, a two nil type of game, just like the Spain, France match, uh, did the other day.
19:31
I know there have been some reports about Lamine Yamal, uh, nursing a, a, I believe a thigh injury, but they say he's under no, uh, concern for missing the match.
19:39
Even if he's not in, I still like the play, and you might be able to get a little better price o- o- on that.
19:45
Uh, because you just look at the midfield that Spain have, you look at the defense that they have with Cucurella and, and Pedro Porro, and Poku Barsey, who has been the best young player in the tournament.
19:57
They just k- do not allow shots. I think Unai Simon, the keeper, has made six or seven saves the entire tournament, so you don't get shots on goal, you can't score, and Spain do not allow shots on goal.
20:08
I think Spain win one nil, two nil, something in that range. What are we thinking about Saturday? Yeah. Because th- this, as Americans and as non-soccer guys, for me and Kelly- We got more questions about this...
20:20
we're, we're, we're ki- Yeah. [laughs] We're kinda in the group think of how does England get up from this? You see it from a betting angle- Right... over and over again.
20:26
Demoralizing loss with so much on the line, and now you have to play again, and they're me- there's no way they're gonna run it back here with Thomas Tuchel for another World Cup, so his days are numbered.
20:38
How do you see this one going in the third place game, where right now in the betting market, France is minus 215 and England's plus 170? I think you need to look, wait.
20:47
I would not make any wager until you either get information on the starting lineups- Okay... or see the starting lineups. Because I, because I agree.
20:56
Uh, if you look at the, the, the, the England locker room right now, I don't know how you get up from that, like you said. Uh, Thomas Tuchel even said today, like, "No one wants to play this match."
21:08
I, and I would ima- I would imagine Fran- at least you could make a case that in Didier Deschamps' final match, uh, you would think that France wouldn't like to send him out a winner. But again- Hmm...
21:19
do we know what type of lineups we're going to?
21:21
Are we going to see, uh, an effort to put Kylian Mbappé out there, or Harry Kane, uh, out there to w- ma- maybe try and score two, three goals, uh, to win the, to win the Golden Boot? I don't know.
21:33
Uh, I do know, the only thing I am sure about in this game is that this is not going to extra time. Yeah, I don't know what the, the numbers are on the three-way.
21:42
You could pro- maybe get, if you can get a, some type of arb or a scalp on a three-way, you could probably do that, 'cause the last thing these guys are gonna wanna do after suffering through the, the losses that they did in the semifinal is have to play another 30 minutes in the heat and humidity of South Florida, where I believe there's also a really good chance of late afternoon thunderstorms, which could kinda
22:03
put, put a little kink in things as well. But, uh, yeah, I would not make any wa- You could even find, like, own goal at, like, nine to one- [laughs]... or so. That might be a, a fun little, uh- Yeah...
22:13
I, I know, Dustin, you like to throw a little, uh, f- funsies bets out there on player- Yeah... props and such. Like, that might even be a little, a little fun thing to watch, like, uh, could be a little loose play.
22:22
Yeah. But yeah, I, I, I would, I would wait and w- look at the lineups before really getting involved here. Chris, minus 110 for France, draw plus 285, England plus 270 on the three-way.
22:32
And then how does this affect- Okay... your thoughts on Golden Boot? Uh, and i- is that, I, I...
22:39
Do we think Mbappé's live, or is he just not a, not a bet you can make right now 'cause you don't know if he's gonna play or not? You don't know if he's gonna play a- and that's the ultimate thing.
22:47
And I would not expect Messi to score more than one goal probably in the final against France. Yeah. But he does, however, have the edge on assists.
22:55
He's got four assists now as well after having the couple i- in the semifinals.
22:59
So Mbappé is going to have to win it outright, so we're, we're just gonna have to wait and see, um, if indeed he does, uh, be, get named to the 11 after not scoring and really being a non-factor, uh, in, in the semifinals.
23:12
So I would not make a, make a wager here, um, be- because, uh, i- just at the uncertainty of whether- Right... there's going to be a, a roster, uh, turnover or not. Chris, 30 seconds. Horse racing this weekend.
23:25
What are we looking at? Yep. I, I, I think we can start today at Saratoga, and the number eight horse, Awesome Czech, in the Diana Rose. Uh, trainer Jorge De Pozas is winning everything right now at Saratoga.
23:36
This horse goes back into a, a New York bred handicap type race. I think, uh, very live here. Del Mar opening day as well. Uh, don't forget to fire in- Hmm... on Del Mar later today.
23:47
Uh, the number eight, Charlie's Curlin, in the Oceanside Handicap, the t- the traditional, uh, opening day, uh, feature there, uh, for Jeff Mullins.
23:54
Uh, I think this horse taking back off the pace, uh, sending from an outside post, looks to be very good. And then the Haskell tomorrow looks like it's gonna go.
24:02
Obviously, the weather in the northeast could be an issue, but The Puma is back.
24:05
Remember, he was one of the Triple Crown favorites earlier in the year, got injured, and I think he's going to be better off now for the remainder of the year not having the attrition of the Triple Crown.
24:14
The Puma, 7 to 2. I like him tomorrow as well. The Bear, Chris Felica, breaking down the pony here on The Numbers Game. Thanks for the time, man. Good luck with all the bets. Appreciate you.
24:25
I'm ready to get my heart broken by this team in the NFL. Find out who on the other s- This is VSiN, the sports betting network. [upbeat rock music] The numbers told the story, they always do.
24:41
He's one of those idiots who believe in analytics. This is a numbers game with Gil Alexander on VSiN. [upbeat rock music] Welcome to Friday. What up, what up, what up? July 17th. May the July 17th be with you.
24:54
I'm Dustin Swedelson, that's Kelly Bidlin. And injecting a little bit of energy- Do you do that just for me? No, I, that, that's my new schtick. Oh, okay.
24:58
My new schtick is I, I'm starting every show with it, but I do like to reuse it later on j- 'cause it became a bit a few years ago- Oh, it's my favorite Dustin Twitter thing...
25:07
because- That's why I didn't know if you did it just for me So everyone did, like, May the fifth be with you, and I was like, "Okay, here's what I'm gonna do.
25:13
It's gonna become May the sixth, May the seventh, May the eighth." And- Yeah, it's real obnoxious, but it's funny...
25:17
at one point I think I got into, like, late July, maybe even early August, and people were like, "Yo, if you don't stop this, I'm reporting you to Twitter." [laughs] I was like, "What are they gonna do?
25:25
Tell me to stop being hilarious?" Oh. @DustinSwedelson, by the way, @KellyBidlin, @VSINLive, you can follow us. Kelly and I both are a little out of breath.
25:33
Well, me more so 'cause I, I, I have not lost the weight that Kelly has lost in the last year. But, uh- D- is, is Danny mad at us? Did you... I, is Danny mad at you? Ooh. I detected a tone with Danny to you- Ooh...
25:42
when we were sitting down. I, I'm behind on the reads. I thought usually I'm the one in trouble, so I'm very, I'm very happy to, I, it sounded more just like you than me.
25:50
Well, for those that wanna know what happened is we w- we both ran out of the studio at the same time to use the restroom because this is what happens.
25:56
It happens to women, but when you spend too much time around someone, eventually your cycles sync. You and I are like- And our pee cycles have synced now- Yeah [laughs]...
26:04
where we're like on the same schedule of having to use the restroom. So that, that's all that occurred. We, we didn't get to chat with Paul during the break. I know. He's waiting for us.
26:11
He's like- He's hanging out patiently... he's like, "I'm used to Gil reading 30 tweets before I come on, not you guys talking about using a urinal." [laughs] So with that, let's get to Paul Carr- Oh, man...
26:19
breaking down everything going on in the World Cup, doing a tremendous job here on a numbers game. Check out True Media Sports. Also Expected Value is the podcast. @PaulCarr, you can find him on X.
26:30
Sorry for all that, Paul. That was, uh, not worth waiting for. But, uh, what is worth waiting for is what we have this weekend. And call me crazy, to steal a bit from Stormy and JVT- Hmm...
26:40
I am more excited [laughs] to see what England looks like against France in this third place game. [laughs] I, I, there's something, like, so un-American about even playing this game, however it exists.
26:50
France is minus 215, England's plus 170. Thomas Tuchel probably on borrowed time there as the manager of the English. How do you feel about what we're gonna see? I have no idea. [laughs] I mean, third place match-up.
27:03
I mean, what I expect, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé will both play because they're both in the Golden Boot race. So I would expect them to do that.
27:13
I think this will be an open game, you know, third place games tend to be. 11 of the last 12 have had at least three goals, and half the last 12 have had at least four goals.
27:21
So if you wanna play over three and a half at plus money, um, I don't mind that. I may end up sprinkling a little on there. But I don't know. I don't know what the r- roster, the lineups are gonna look like.
27:31
Like, we may see- Yeah... you know, 20 guys who have barely played in this tournament starting this match. Uh, so there's just, it's a weird game, even more so with these teams.
27:41
Sometimes you'll get a team, uh, maybe Croatia or Morocco four years ago, where like- Hmm... hey, getting to semis was just a massive thing. So they're maybe a little more excited to be in the third place game.
27:51
Uh, but both these teams expected to be in the final and expected to win this tournament. So this is definitely a letdown of sorts for them. So if anything, I would play the over.
28:01
But d- without knowing who's gonna play and what these lineups are gonna look like, I'm not going near this game at all.
28:07
Okay, yeah, and we talked a little bit about this with Chris Falica earlier in the show, Paul, and I, I really think me and Dustin are probably more fascinated by this than, uh, than, than maybe even the final.
28:16
But the, just the list of don'ts, I think the don'ts from a betting standpoint leading into this game.
28:22
A- and Chris said, "I, look, I don't even think you could really consider, uh, Kylian Mbappé for Golden Boot until you know for sure if he's playing or not." Mm-hmm. So I think I would- Mm-hmm... add that onto the list.
28:33
Uh, and, and then this is, he, he brought up, I thought this was a great point, of the we can play the to win to advance to lift whatever third place trophy market or the, or the three-way 90-minute market.
28:44
Chris thought you should absolutely look in that, uh, as opposed to... 'Cause this is not going to extra time. Is that something you would say too? Right. Yes. Yeah, I would not wanna play.
28:54
Like, the draw price at 285 looks nice. Right. Like, that's, that's appealing. But- No play... yeah, the fact that, first of all, the fact that they play extra time in this match is ridiculous.
29:02
Like, just go straight to penalties and end this thing. But yeah, I don't think either team's gonna want to go to extra time. So I would expect, again, who knows?
29:09
But I would expect if this is tied in like the 80th minute, I would expect and hope that these teams are making some, you know, kinda silly looking subs just to try to get a goal.
29:18
Like, sub on a forward or two just to get it over with one way or the other, 'cause I don't think they care that much. But again, we're all, it's all just guesswork at this point. Yeah.
29:26
Yeah, Paul Carr is our guest, True Media Sports, sock candy, soccer handicapper, Expected Value podcast, @PaulCarr on X.
29:33
I mean, we haven't talked, we probably should've started this way, but we haven't talked about what happened with [laughs] England in the meltdown against Argentina. Right. Paul, you watch a lot of soccer.
29:42
Let, let, let's do both sides of it here. Argentina- Yeah... the comeback kids, it continues. Now they're in the championship.
29:48
But, but England, the style at which they went about it once they had a one-nil lead, just not being involved offensively. I think I saw 12% of the possession once they went up one-nothing. Mm-hmm.
29:59
Like, how do you even defend that if you're the English? It's really weird. I mean, it's basically what they were criticized for under Gareth Southgate, their previous manager, the last, uh, few tournaments.
30:10
You know, they went up real early on Italy in a Euro final and, like, tried to park the bus for 85 minutes. Obviously, that didn't work out well.
30:16
Uh, but then in the first game against Croatia of this tournament, they were up three-two in the second half, and they went for it. You know, they did not park the bus.
30:26
And it was ki- almost this revelation like, oh, if England's gonna do this, given all the talent they have, 'cause they're one of the, I don't know, three, four most talented teams at the tournament.
30:35
And if they're gonna go for it when they have the lead- Like, that just changes the upside of this team. And then they get to this Argentina match, and they don't do that. And this...
30:45
Again, they didn't go up one-nil in the 80th minute. You wanna park the bus then, fine. But they went up one-nil in the 55th minute and just became not interested in playing.
30:54
So I don't know if this was a residual effect from the Azteca game against Mexico. You know, there they bunkered in for a while, but they were down a man, and they were at Azteca. That's a totally different situation.
31:04
Mm. And you're playing Mexico, uh, which does not have the creative playmakers that Argentina has. So that was a very different situation.
31:10
And, you know, I kind of understood, you know, putting on some defenders because you're gonna face crosses and such, but at the same time, you know, why wasn't Bukayo Saka in to be an outlet on the wing?
31:19
You know, maybe he's dealing with injuries, but something in that vein just to relieve pressure for a few minutes here and there is what England needed, and it d- wasn't something that they seemed either interested in doing or maybe was capable of doing.
31:30
Yeah, and this is... A- Paul, spin this forward with, with Argentina 'cause I feel like we've seen this type of team in other American sports, uh, before, but this is...
31:40
W- we've gotten to the point in the tournament where I feel like I keep hearing this about Argentina.
31:44
A team of destiny, or they just keep getting a little lucky and getting by each one of these opponents and are a little overrated? I, I, I don't know which is true. They're in the final. I...
31:55
W- what do you feel about this team and how they've gotten to this point? Yeah, I think they're kind of both true. They remind me of, like, the Chiefs from two, three years ago. Mm.
32:03
Um, and then the question is, are they going to... You know, they're in the final, they're in the Super Bowl. Is it gonna be one of those where they, you know, battle it out and pull out a win against the 49ers?
32:13
Or, you know, I think there's a chance it's... You know, the Chiefs ran to the Eagles a couple years ago and just got smoked. Mm. There's a chance of that.
32:20
Uh, but they, they clearly have all the intangibles, which as a numbers guy is a little difficult for me to digest, but they have the grit, they have the belief, they have the team spirit, all these things.
32:29
I mean, I was at their quarterfinal against Switzerland, and the fan support in Kansas City was, like, 98% Argentines. It was crazy. Wow.
32:36
Uh, I don't think it'll be that dramatic in New Jersey for the final, but it's gonna be a pro-Argentina crowd, so that's something. Um, so, so I don't know.
32:44
I, I, I struggle to, on paper, just think like, look, Spain is significantly better, and they're a favorite for a reason, but Argentina, uh, they've won three straight tournaments, international tournaments. Mm.
32:53
Major tournaments, uh, and on the verge of a fourth, which no one's ever done before. So it's... You can't discount whatever it is that they have.
33:00
No one's gone back-to-back since Brazil in 1962, winning back-to-back World Cups. Mm-hmm. And I'm gonna go cross-sport on you again, Paul- Okay... just with the, the comparison.
33:09
Both teams, I think, could be, could be compared to the Knicks and their run. Okay. Argentina never out of it, all these comebacks, waiting for the best shot. Right.
33:17
A- a best shot of a team and then answering a- and winning in the end. And then Spain, it's the best team. They play together as a unit. You can see the chemistry. You see the cohesion.
33:27
They're not the most athletic team in the field this year, but for some reason, the way they work together, the way they take advantage of counters, like, they, they both remind me of the Knicks in their own way.
33:37
How do you think these two styles match up with each other?
33:41
Yeah, I mean, I think the thing about Spain is if they get a one-goal lead, they're not going to pull an England and just decide to bunker in for the rest of the game.
33:49
I mean, obviously it's different if it's the last few minutes. That's a different thing. But... And I think they'll continue to press. That's what they do.
33:55
They press out of the midfield especially and don't give you a whole lot of opportunities. They've allowed, like, 2.1 expected goals this entire tournament, which is crazy over seven games.
34:04
Uh, the shot quality they allow is low. Just any metric. I mean, they've only allowed one goal, if you wanna just make it super simple. [laughs] One goal in the whole tournament, uh, which is impressive.
34:12
Uh, so Argentina's got to figure out a way to break that down. Um, I don't know if they can.
34:18
Again, they've always seemed to find a way, but Spain, I think, is just better equipped to deal with that 'cause they won't have to change as much as what, of what they do if they get a one-goal lead.
34:26
Okay, I like it, Paul. Rolling in with three bets for you for the World Cup final. Uh, Paul, talk us through all these. All right. We'll start first half.
34:35
I think this first half could look a lot like the Argentina-England first half, which had no shots in the first 30 minutes. First World Cup game on record to do that.
34:43
Um, so this could be real cagey, look like a final, et cetera. Uh, wouldn't shock me if there were no goals in the first half. So I've played that at plus-155.
34:51
Uh, you know, Spain's last four first half, two scoreless, one only had a penalty.
34:55
Uh, none of Argentina's four knockout stage first halves had more than one goal or about one XG, and they all had, I think, eight or fewer shots. So I think this will feel like a final.
35:05
You know, England-Argentina, that first half hour especially, no shots, but it was still pretty entertaining. They were just battling it out in the midfield. Um, so that's my first bet.
35:12
Uh, and this is a little bit contrary maybe, but I still like both teams to score, uh, minus 105.
35:18
I mean, Spain has found a way to score in every game but the Cape Verde game when they outshot them 27 to six in the opener, and Argentina has scored twice in every game.
35:26
And obviously we've talked about their belief and such. So I like both teams to score around even money. But ultimately, I just like Spain to win. This is a 90-minute bet at plus-130. Uh, they're the better team.
35:38
They're good defensively. They're better defensively. They're as good offensively.
35:42
Maybe I'm banging my head against the wall a little bit by betting against Argentina because they have Messi and the devil magic and whatever else is going on there. The devil magic [laughs] But I think, I think...
35:50
Like Real Madrid in Champions League, you don't wanna bet against them, but here I am again. Uh, so just Spain to win at plus-130 in 90 minutes. All right. That was awesome, Paul. You've been crushing it. Yes.
35:58
I know you do soccer all year long on the program, but World Cup, it's your time to shine. You've been killing it. Thanks for doing this as always, man. It's been fun. I'm gonna go take a nap for two weeks after this.
36:07
[laughs] Yeah, you should. Paul Carr, True Media Sports Expected Value podcast, @PaulCarr you can find him on X. We've got Steve Fezzik, pro handicapper, coming up in about 20 minutes here on the show.
36:17
With that, we gotta run through our bets for the day, including a baseball game that gets going in the next hour. That's next on A Numbers Game.
36:24
[upbeat rock music]A numbers game on VSiN, the sports betting network.
36:47
Dustin Swedelson alongside Kelly Bidlin. It's a numbers game, VSiN, the sports betting network. We get tweets @VSiNLive, @DustinSwedelson, @KellyBidlin. Bob Gettis writes in. How about Bob dedicating- Hey.
37:00
"I just walked into a store in Spain and they were playing doo-wop. Now I think of you in a numbers game. The bearded brothers shenanigans are top tier." Uh, Bob, we love you. We love how much you listen.
37:11
Can you please enjoy your vacation time in Spain though, please? Yeah, can you step away for a minute? [laughs] From, from the, from, from this time of year, like- You-...
37:20
probably, like, better to be enjoying Europe than these two morons I know, I know we're gonna have to watch it here in a couple minutes, but, uh, he was texting me yesterday about the hoof moment on the show that I- Oh, we got that...
37:33
could not get over. I, real quick, I, before, before we get into wackiness, I do have to thank, uh, a few people, uh, for the past, what, month, six weeks, Danny?
37:41
I don't even know how long we've been talking World Cup at this point, but Chris Felica, Paul Carr, multiple times a week, Drew Dinsick on this show, Dallin Cuff on this show every single week through the World Cup.
37:54
Every single one of them did an amazing job. I tailed most of their futures, made out very well, was a profitable World Cup I was not expecting.
38:02
Uh, so hopefully you guys enjoyed having them, seeing them wi- listening to them on the show. I know I did, and a big thank you to those guys who took a lot of time out of their lives to join us.
38:11
The most frustrating part of the World Cup to me was, one, well, there's two, I guess. One, I have to retire being a soccer expert now. I've been a soccer expert for the last four to six weeks. I know, right?
38:20
We gained all this knowledge. Uh, it's like the end of March Madness. I just learned who's on every team- [laughs]... and now we have to walk away.
38:26
The second is I am up betting the World Cup, which makes me wonder, I know nothing about soccer and I'm winning. How come the sports I know a lot about [laughs] I struggle to be above 500? It's a tough feeling.
38:38
It's a tough feeling. Sports betting can be wacky sometimes, but, uh, you know what? Everybody I've heard say something similar. It's the, it's o- it's okay. You know what the best thing is about this?
38:46
It's the timing because now we're gonna end this thing and it's gonna be right towards the end of July. And I don't know about you, but I'm s- I'm counting my money now about for NFL futures- Exactly...
38:55
and contests and everything. So any th- any boost to the bankroll, I will gladly take this time of year. All right. We also have some write-ins over on X @VSiNLive, @DustinSwedelson, @KellyBidlin.
39:07
Scrabble star Dustin Dustin, "I have to remind everyone that there is no such thing as positive regression." Sorry about the caps. I was yelling at my phone. "Regression is by definition negative.
39:16
You can regress less, but positive? No." We will ask the Fesik who is right in this great debate coming up in just a minute. I, I, I really believe this is an English verse m- verse math thing. Oh.
39:26
Like, in, in math, there is positive regression, in statistics. I w- we'll ask Steve. I, I'm not gonna sit here and not- Yeah, no, in English definitely doesn't- I'm not dying on this hill... it doesn't work.
39:34
Yeah, yeah, it's progression or regression. Yeah. I get that from an English standpoint. Yes. You can't negatively regress. That's a negative times a negative, which equals a positive.
39:43
[laughs] Speaking of, uh, I did, uh, reveal way too much on yesterday's show, including that one of my guilty pleasure videos I watch are cows- Oh... getting their hooves shaved.
39:53
And shout out to the guy yelling at Kelly because trying to say that it was horses that I watch. I don't know how you think you know what I watch, but mine are definitely cow hooves.
40:01
This is not what a horse hoof looks like. So this is what happens. They go in, they have a cut, they have a hole in their hoof, they have to even things out. They just have to get it shaved down.
40:09
It's like going, going to getting a pedicure.
40:12
And they take this sharp device, they cut it down, they find the spot, they fix it for the cow who's suffering, and that's why your steak tastes the way that it does, 'cause this cow gets to live a little bit longer.
40:20
All right. Unfortunately, I've seen this enough now, I'm not as disgusted anymore. Look at that hole. We hit this point, it's really, really disgusting. Oh, yeah. So what, are, wait, are they shaving off...
40:29
Like, this is bone or hoof. What is- No, it's like a nail. R- okay, so it's like a nail. Fine. So they are cutting nail away to, to get underneath it where there is a lot of- An issue...
40:40
dirt, scum, whatever I'm looking at. No, that's, I think, I think that's either dirt or an infection 'cause it goes under the nail. R- okay.
40:46
So- I think they're fixing an infection or something- So they're gonna scrape-... some injury... so they're gonna scrape this out, this thick gross- Clean it out. They're gonna spray it. They're gonna d- disinfect it.
40:56
This is so, it's so disgusting. It's just like getting a pedicure at, or- It's very disgusting... it, it's like an ingrown toenail where you gotta go get it cut out.
41:02
They put some medicine on it so it doesn't get infected and it doesn't grow back the same way. Yeah, but, like, I don't, like, I don't have to watch that. You know what I mean? I watch those videos, too.
41:09
Uh, yeah, I know. This is- And, I mean, I, I, I get pedicures myself. I, see, I get 'em too, but I don't have to, I don't, I don't necessarily look down at my feet. I don't have a foot fetish.
41:18
I just wanna lay that on the line. I've never sucked a toe in my life over here. Just want, wanna make sure. I've been admitting a lot on this show. Wow. That is not something I'm into. No. Okay. All right.
41:26
I've never put a foot in my mouth. Share, sh- I'll speak for the crew. Share. [laughs] Share. We got it. I think this is a very normal video that people watch. I, I, maybe. Maybe.
41:37
I, I, you know, there's a lot of stuff on the internet these days- [laughs]... so who know- who knows what's normal anymore, okay? How about that? That's a valid point.
41:44
Uh, what is on the internet are our best bets in major, or my best bets in Major League Baseball, vsin.com/picks. If you wanna check them out, we do have some best bets from all the guests on the show.
41:53
Let's begin recapping. Let's run through, like my girlfriend in college was, uh, all the bets that were placed on today's numbers game. Let's do that. Am I running these, uh, for you?
42:02
I like when you lead into the other people's bets. Oh, okay. So we're going soccer first then. We gotta go, we're going soccer first.
42:09
We'll go with Chris Felica, who's got a lot of bets today, uh, both on the horse track and at the World Cup. Start with the World Cup. Spain to lift the cup minus 150.
42:18
So he's going to play, this is very important, lift the cup, and especially if you haven't been betting World Cup throughout the entirety of it. Lift the cup.
42:26
This is basically the to advance market that you've been betting, uh, through the group st- or the knockout stages here. And then we had Paul in the 90-minute. We'll get to that later.
42:35
He's also on the under two and a half in this game at minus 115. And then I know we had some horse racing bets as well from Felica. Thank you, Danny.
42:45
Uh, this is today the De La Rosa Handicap- Uh, race nine at Saratoga, the eight horse, awesome check, six to one. And then also today, Oceanside, race eight, uh, at Del Mar.
43:00
This is the eight horse, Charlie's Curlin, six to one. And then the Haskell Stakes, race 12, uh, at Monmouth tomorrow. He is on the number four horse, The Puma, seven to two, who we remember from the Kentucky Derby?
43:11
Is that where he was at? And then we never saw him again, Dave. I don't remember. Yeah, Kentucky Derby. I remember my horse races. Uh, okay, over to Paul Carr.
43:18
He's got a three-pack of bets for the World Cup fi- uh, final. Under a half first half goals at plus 155. I lo- I love that one.
43:25
I think I do, too, 'cause all the, even the Argentina magic that we've seen, it's been late, right? Yeah. I think I'm gonna bet that as well.
43:32
Both teams to score, yes, minus 105, and then Spain to win on the 90-minute line, plus 130, as he even rightfully pointed out, 'cause I was thinking the same thing.
43:42
Uh, look, if you, if you have a shop where the same game parlays still reward some of these negative correla- correlated, uh, correlated plays, this is that.
43:51
Because, eh, both teams to score, yes, combined with an under half first, uh, first half goals, tha- that is not very correlated. Can I bring up one thing I'm just realizing? Hmm.
44:00
And I don't think this should be allowed. The World Cup final can be de- be decided on penalty kicks. Sure. I feel like they should have to play till their legs fall off.
44:08
Oh, you think this is like the w- we gotta throw out that rule in the NFL. Play it out. Yeah, like, like we just, we play it out. Best team to eventually punch it through.
44:14
Maybe you change the substitution stuff late in the match once we get into, like, extra, extra, extra time.
44:19
But I don't know if I like the World Cup being decided on PKs, 'cause the more I think about it, with the way that Spain plays, specifically defensively, and, and really the only offense coming on counters, and then Argentina with those guys offensively,
44:33
I think Spain tries to keep it away from Argentina, doesn't let them set up offensively, and then we could be looking towards a draw, which will then lead to a potential shootout, and, like, then Argentina has the advantage.
44:45
Hmm. Yeah, I'm, I, I'm with you, man. I, I have a feeling, I think I'm gonna play that under in the first half. Kind of have a feeling just the game under is a really good bet, too. Yeah, I agree.
44:55
Uh, just with how Spain's playing, and then if, i- if this Messi magic finally stops, right? And the- that's amazing Spain defense could step up and really shut them down. Yeah, I think this could be a low-scoring game.
45:06
All right, as far as I have today, Major League Baseball, we return for the second half, and we're looking at the Rays coming up here. What time is it? About o- an hour and 12 minutes. Yeah, about an hour.
45:16
Griffin Jax on the bump, taking on Jake Bennett. Look, I understand wanting to back Jake Bennett. He's been red hot. I, I'm one of these people where I look for opportunities to bet against someone who's on a surge.
45:26
I, I just think Tampa Bay is a good play. I got plus money. It's now minus 107. I don't love that as much, but in baseball, I like to take these plus prices when I can find them, when I'm into them.
45:36
Jax has been good this year. Tampa Bay has seen him before, and the Rays are 19 and 7 straight up against lefties. Boston, six and 10 in home division games.
45:46
They're also 30 and 38 straight up against righties, minus 17 units on the year. Give me Tampa Bay. Taking the Cubs, minus 138. I love this spot against Bailey Ober and the Twins.
45:55
Ober pitches to a lot of contact, and right now, the, the Cubs, at the end of the first half, have been great the last two months. We're talking about a team, 54 homers last 36 games, OPS around 786.
46:08
And then Ober, since 2024, 0 and 9 against teams averaging one and a quarter or more home runs per game.
46:14
I think this offense for Chicago decimates Minnesota, and then Colin Ray keeps them in this ballgame with a 272 home ERA. Give me the Tigers. Give me Detroit on the road at the Angels, minus 104.
46:28
Troy Melton's been better, and the Tigers are the offense that I trust. It's simple as that. Detmers against teams averaging 4.4 or less runs per game, two and 12 straight up, going back to 2024.
46:38
And then finally, the Giants-Mariners, we're on the under, because I believe Bryce Miller and Landon Roop will keep both offenses that I hate at bay today at T-Mobile in Seattle. So those are the plays. I like it.
46:52
I like it. I only got one from yesterday. It's, uh, old Chad Tracy, 28 to 1, AL Manager of the Year. Let's go Red Sox. All right, get the tweets in, uh, @VSANlive, @DustinSteedlson, @KellyBidlin.
47:02
Steve Fezzik's gonna join us. Pro handicapper, only two-time winner of the Hilton Super Contest, and he's been listening to me all week on the show. I trigger Steve. Over, under,
47:14
three and a half items will be discussed about something I brought up during the show that he hates over the last five days. Find out when we return on Numbers Game.
