Coffee, conversation & today’s best bet.

 

First Sips

 

Good morning, all! First thing's first: new podcast episode is live – come start Thursday with me! Coffee is still tasting good this morning, as we had a solid betting day yesterday – Picks cashed 2/3, and Player Props hit 2/3. The casualties unfortunately were Pick of the Day and our parlay. If you're on a tier, you made it out of the day relatively decent 😌 Speaking of: my last sale of the entire year ends TODAY! So if you haven’t already, go take advantage of that 40% discount on any tier (get 40% off your first month or entire annual purchase...), with code LASTOF2026 at checkout. Once this sale is gone, things are back at full price for the remainder of 2026, friends! And now, on to today's play...

 

 

Pick of the Day

 

-MIN Twins -1.5 (+140) | 0.5 Units

 

Another big plus-money adventure, friends – but I like it too much not to make it Pick of the Day. Minnesota starter Bailey Ober (4.56 ERA) is an impressive 5-0 at home, and is far better on his own turf than his overall ERA suggests. Meanwhile, the Royals actually haven’t lost by 2+ since returning from the All-Star Break, but Kansas City pitcher Noah Cameron (4.93 ERA) is just 1-5 on the road, and 4 of his last 5 starts have resulted in a loss for the Royals. Kansas City managed to shutout the Twins last night, but I won’t be surprised if they return the favour this afternoon. I’m on Minnesota to cover the RL for a nice pay day.
