NBA POINTS PROP

Victor Wembanyama (SAS)
Over 24.5 Points (-112)
We faded the Spurs in their opener and cashed with both our best bet on OKC and free bonus pick on SGA, but now it's time for them to bounce back. Wemby's poor shooting night was rough to watch, but it's not one we expect him to repeat. The Rockets were able to blow out the Mavs, but we still saw Cooper Flagg become the youngest ever to score 30+ in a season debut. Even if KD shows up big, we're backing the Frenchman.

Howard Bender
MLB HITS+RUNS+RBI PROP
|
Jackson Chourio (MIL)
Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
With two home runs and seven RBI over just eight playoff games, Chourio should continue hit hitting prowess against Nick Martinez, a righty who pitches to contact and struggles to contain same-handed hitting. Chourio posted a .339 wOBA vs RHP this season and remains one of the most dangerous of the Brewers hitters he faces today. Milwaukee wants to get off to a hot start after an 11-day layover and Chourio should lead the charge.

Mark's Game 1 breakdown is above with the NBA best bets, Knicks-Celtics, Dan's full Week 8 college card and Duke-Virginia behind it. First pitch is 8 PM ET from American Family Field on FOX, Milwaukee are -200 and the total sits at 6.5, with Mark on Jacob Misiorowski over 6.5 strikeouts in the featured piece. His exclusive stays on the hardwood though, backing Victor Wembanyama over 24.5 after a rough shooting night in the opener. Howard has gone to the Fall Classic for his, taking Jackson Chourio for a hit, run or RBI against a starter who pitches to contact. Good luck tonight.
