In this high-energy episode of VSiN Best Bets' 'Follow the Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into a packed slate of sports betting action across MLB, NBA, and NHL, with a strong focus on the high-stakes play-in games and the upcoming NFL Draft. The duo breaks down the Hornets vs. Heat matchup, highlighting Charlotte’s elite January-to-date performance and their explosive three-point shooting, while cautioning about Miami’s playoff experience and defensive adjustments. They also analyze the low-scoring potential of the Suns vs. Blazers game, emphasizing defensive efficiency and slow pace. The MLB segment features a tribute to Dave Malinsky on the eight-year anniversary of his disappearance, introducing the 'Malinsky Special' — a statistical edge for teams returning from long road trips. Key props include Nolan McLean’s strikeout projection, the Mets’ hitting struggles, and the Pirates’ dominance over a struggling Nationals pitcher. The episode then shifts to NFL Draft speculation, with Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review Journal discussing the Raiders' first-overall pick dilemma, Kirk Cousins' competitive mindset, and mock draft projections for players like Cade McDonald and Sadiq. The segment closes with a lively recap of the night’s sports action, including a record-breaking home run night in baseball and a dramatic NHL third period.
