Gorilla Sports podcast Ep-178
All right, we had a big football game yesterday, a big Jets versus Niners game. That was actually a pretty good game. It's good to see Rogers back out in the field. I know the Rogers haters are probably loving it because he didn't do as great as we all thought. Now, there was Christian McCaffrey was a late scratch to the game, which I know put a lot of fantasy people in jeopardy of winning or losing their week, expecting him to go. But it gave great closing line vowels, excuse me, great closing line value to all of our bets. And only half of them came through. So we took the Jets plus the four and a half after McCaffrey was ruled out. It went down to plus three and a half. So we had a nice full point on that one. I did like that look. We took George Kittle over his 43 and a half receiving yards. He ended up right at 40. He had a couple of drops and actually Brock Purdy missed him on a couple of shots, a couple like dinged off his hands. So man, we were right there. He asked me to make that bet again. I absolutely would. I ended up taking over his catches as well. That actually did come through, but his yardage did not. We took Deebo Samuel over his rushing and receiving yards combined. That was at 65 and a half. That ended up going up to about 69 and a half, obviously because with Chris McCaffrey, he does a lot of running. And that was kind of part of our handicap yesterday was saying that with him being injured, that he would be the guy that would kind of spell him and not as much Jordan Mason. Also we had Breece Hall over his three and a half catches. Now that was kind of juiced up pretty good, but I did take over his four and a half catches as well. And that came in at a plus one 30. So that was a nice look. There's a ton of same game parley. So we ended up losing our same game parley as we had the Jets on there. But again, that'll be a bonus bet that's going to come back to me today. But they're in a ton of live betting as well for both sites. So draft Kings gave live drive results. So I ended up winning both of those. They were profit boosted at 50%. So I would kind of take things like would the Jets get to the opposing 20 yard line. And it would be like a minus 180 for them to march the whole field to get to the Niners 20 yard line. But it would be like a minus 190. But once you profit boosted, it became like a minus, you know, one 19 minus 118 stuff like that. So it's like, this is a beautiful bet. You're taking a huge juice and then just bringing it back down to a regular price. So I ended up winning two of those bets. That was nice. I had a free boost for a touchdown prop. Took that on brace all that came through for me. So as much as we went to 200 picks, I ended up winning a ton of money on this game just because of all of these free bonuses. So really have a lot of outs be looking, whether it's bed 365 draft Kings, a fan duel, any of them. Go back and forth between them. Don't just kind of stick to one book. And if you are going to sign up for a new book, have a friend or somebody else give you a referral code, because not only will they get money, but you'll get extra money as well. And this is the time to do it. They give away a ton of bonuses, things like that. We had two batter parlays yesterday. We ended up getting three correct, which means we only won one and we lost one. So we took Bobby Whit and we paired it with the Andy Diaz. That came through for us. And then we took Gunnar Henderson and we paired it with Vladi Guerrero and Vladi did not come through for us. He went over yesterday. Gunnar Henderson got his. All right. So we kind of went even on the picks two and two on the football and two and two on baseball. But like I said, with all these profit booths, I ended up winning a couple units yesterday. So it's not a bad night. Let's get into some baseball today. I've got three batter parlays I like and I got a total as well that I'm on today. All right. Let's get into it. Our first play is we're going to go right back to Gunnar Henderson. Now he's got two plus bases in seven of his last eight games. He's going versus cutter Crawford today, who's in the bottom seventh percentile in barrel rate, which is perfect for Gunnar Henderson. And I was talking yesterday how just from the eye test, how Henderson matches up in Fenway Park with that big green monster is perfect for him. So I took a deep dive into it and it turns out I was dead right. His last seven games in Boston, he's got two plus bases. So a double or more, whether it's all more a triple or two hits, doesn't matter what it is. He's had at least two bases in six of his last seven games in Boston. So that's a great look. And we're going to pair him with Marcelo Zuna of the Atlanta Braves. Now, he's got to hit in 20 of his last 25 games and he's going versus Mackenzie Gore, who's the lefty in Washington, that's 326 versus left handed pitching, and he's six for 15, about 400 versus Gore, but he's four for eight in 2024. He's about 500 this year versus Mackenzie Gore. So that's a great look taking Gunnar Henderson and Marcelo Zuna together. And that comes out as a minus one 12. So I like the price of that as well. Our next play is we're going to take Gandy Diaz again. Now again, he's going versus the left handed pitcher, Ranger Suarez today. We took him versus his lefty yesterday. He got two hits yesterday versus Sanchez and Philly. He that's 354 versus left handed pitching. Love it. He's got two plus hits in four of his last five games. And so we're going to pair him with Aaron judge. Now judge is going versus Seth Lugo today. Now we were talking about cutter Crawford and his seventh percentile. Seth Lugo is in the second percentile, the bottom second percent as good as he's been in the first half. He's like a Cy Young winning first half to the to the year. He's gone downhill since then. Aaron judge is about three thirty seven versus right handed pitching. So I really like these two guys together. You get a minus one oh five pretty good price there as well. Our last batter parlay is we're going to that same Yankees game or we're going to take Bobby Whitt. Now obviously we know Bobby Whitt has the best average in baseball. He's absolutely crushing this year and he's going versus Marcus Strowman who's been getting destroyed lately. Now Strowman he's two for three versus Strowman in 2024 this year. He's got a single and a double versus him and the one game that they played against him. And we're going to pair Bobby Whitt with our boy Lawrence Butler on an 18 game hitting streak. He's absolutely tearing it up. We've put on a ton of these games with him right in this guy along versus great pitchers, terrible pitchers all the way through. But he's going versus Spencer Aaron Getty today. Now this guy is like literally completely Dr. Jacqueline, Mr. Hyde. He has elite games and terrible games. So he's had two terrible games lately sandwiched between two elite games. So four games ago, he lasted four innings, giving up six hits and nine runs. And then he went two hits, zero runs, three hits, zero runs. And then his last game versus the White Sox, he lasted two innings, given up seven hits and four runs. So he can just be up and down all the time, but Butler's already seen him. He's two for five this year versus him. So he's got 400 versus Spencer or Getty. So I do like Lawrence Butler and Bobby Whitt together. Now our total play is in that Yankees and Kansas City game. Now the Yankees bats have just been on fire lately since the All-Star break. They're a league high 5.33 runs per game. And that's a great number because we only needed over eight and a half. Now totals are going to start coming down as the weather is turning. It's not quite as nice out. It's going to be a decent day in New York today, but we're not going to see those 80 and 90 degree temperatures, which really helps the ball carry today. But it's less of a worry about that with the two pitchers we got going today. Like I said, it's Marcus Strowman going today. His last two starts, he's given up over nine hits. Now we only lasted three innings versus Texas as last time out, given up nine hits and five runs versus Texas. So he's just been getting rocked. His fastball isn't fast enough to get by guys in Kansas City and that crazy hitter friendly lineup that they have there. And then like we said, Seth Lugo has been struggling mightily since the All-Star break. They just played to a 10 four game last night. Kansas City obviously has a great offense as well. So when we pair the two of these teams, I definitely think we're getting over eight and a half runs. I can see a six, four or a seven, three, something like that in that sort of final. So we are going to take Kansas City and New York over the eight and a half. We have the three batter parlays and make sure to join us tomorrow, nine PM Eastern. Now I was talking about this with a couple of my friends today that they took a lot of my player props that I gave out on that Wednesday show, but the lines move, we said that it could move a lot. So when I find something that I like, I have to hit it. I can't wait to give it on the podcast. We all get the same number. Sometimes it switches the other way, but it pays to listen in. So nine PM Eastern time on Twitter spaces. All you have to do is go and click on the link. I'll have a reminder or something like that set up and it'll say set reminders. So once we go live, you'll get a little post on your phone that'll say, hey, Twitter's live. Just click on it and just listen in. You can ask questions if you want stuff like that. There's a little button where you can say, raise your hand or ask to speak, anything like that. Type something into the chat. All the above, but yeah, I'll be doing my buddy Jeremy's sharp guy. This guy, you had a beautiful pick last night. I followed him. He had Jordan Mason over the 11 and a half rushing yards, obviously before the McCaffrey came out, but that was a good read and a good look. I liked it because a lot of my handicap was saying that we haven't seen McCaffrey play. He's going to be on a limited snap. And then once he was ruled out, I mean, obviously it went up to about 69 yards. So I mean, we had just insane closing line value on that. It cashed in the first quarter. So I had to shout him out a little on that one because that was a beautiful call for me yesterday. So yeah, 9 p.m. Eastern at Bulbs One, B-U-L-P-S-1, if you want to follow me on Twitter and then just click along to the reminder and we'll talk football tomorrow 9 p.m. Eastern. All right, guys. You're rocking with me.
