VIP Picks 2/18/24

Well instead of accepting the 2-1 day yesterday and being down 1 unit going into today, we added 2 plays and neither of them worked out so we come into Sunday chasing 3 units. Unfortunately that's a call I made and it didn't work it. Not a place you want to be but that’s really just where we are at after last night. We had some tough breaks this week as well. The strategy we are going with today is 2 plays that I feel pretty good about hitting and then we are going to take a shot on a parlay to slightly (.73 units) put us in the green for the week. PRESSURE IS ON!


Cross Sport:

1:00 EST

Purdue ML / Avalanche ML / Arkansas ML / Texas A&M ML / Oregon St ML (+216)🥉

  • #2 Purdue on the road and 23-2 riding a 9 game winning streak vs Ohio St who has lost 4 of their last 5 and just 4-10 in Big Ten play.

  • Like most teams, OSU doesn’t have the size to match up with Purdue’s 7’4 Zach Edey. His presence will make it tough for OSU to score inside and he will be unstoppable on the offensive end.

  • The Avs will host the Coyotes who they have actually gone 1-2 against this season but the Yotes are going through a tough stretch where they have lost 8 straight. 

  • The Avs had a tough road trip themselves recently but they return home where they are 20-5 this season. 

  • For College Baseball it’s 2 of the same 3 teams we’ve cashed in on the last 2 days and adding #7 Oregon St to the mix today. 

  • Arkansas has beat James Madison 6-4 & 15-5. Mason Molina will pitch for Ark & the lefty went 6-2 last season. 

  • Texas A&M will face McNeese who they have outscored 21-1 the last 2 days. 

  • #7 Oregon St is 2-0 and they have hit 9 homeruns in those 2 games so look for them to be swinging away today. They take on 0-2 CSU Bakersfield who has lost two 1 run games to the same teams Oregon St has beat by 2 & 9. 6 of the 10 runs allowed on the season for O St have come in the 8th inning so the games weren’t as close as they look.

Round 4 Score

Xander Schauffele Under (68.5) 🥈

  • Schauffele has posted 65 and 66 scores the last 2 days. Yesterday’s 65 round featured 4 birdies and an eagle as well as going bogey free. His 66 the day before featured 5 birdies and another bogey free round. 

  • Looking back to Round 1 when he posted a 70, he had 4 bogeys in that round so as long as he avoids the bogeys, he should be under 68.5 today.

  • Another factor that sets this one up is that he is 2 strokes out of 1st place and will definitely be making a push to win today.

  • If you want to take a chance on him winning the tourney, you can get it at +300 on Fanduel but under 68.5 at -105 is pretty solid. Don’t take both.


NHL:

3:00 EST

Rangers (-148) 🥇

  • This is another Stadium Series game at MetLife Stadium. 

  • The Rangers come in on a 6 game winning streak and 7-2-1 in their last 10.

  • The Islanders 3-4-3 last 10.

  • The Rangers have a +28 goal differential and the Islanders have a -22.

  • The Rangers have the advantage in every stat category and are the better team. 

  • The Rangers have won 3 of their last 4 by 2+ goals but I’d rather stick with the moneyline.
