I’m Steve Crave and today’s 50% off Friday over at Sports Memo. I have a 5% MLB max bet locked and loaded for you. Haven’t had a 5% play in quite a while. Last one was July 30th. cash that one with the Texas money line. And we’re still running hot across all sports. Uh number one over the last five weeks with plus 50 units. As always, if you guys enjoy this content, do me a favor and hit that like button, subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already, and uh drop those MLB picks. Let me know if you agree or disagree with my play in this video. I’ll check those comments and respond back to you guys. So, we took a tough L on our Wednesday night video. We did not have a video on Thursday. We had the over for my Red Sox and the Astros. And we finally saw a lowscoring game in that series, four to one. Uh, not much action in that one, but we’re still running hot. 17- six is obviously nothing to sneeze at. And we’ll look to cash another one tonight. Yankees, Cardinals, New York, uh, minus 137 on the money line. total of nine. We’ve seen money coming in on the over as this one opens at 8 and a half. And we’ve seen some money on the Yankees. They opened at minus 130. Couple of righties on the hill. Andre Palante, Luis Heel. Uh Heels missed the majority of the season due to a lat strain that he suffered back in February. He’s only got two starts under his belt now. Last time out against Houston. a little bit more encouraging than his first start. Two earned runs across five and a third. He did strike out seven hitters in that one. Not much of a history for Heel against St. Louis. Doesn’t have a ton of starts under his belt. So, no history whatsoever actually. On the other side, we got Palante. Below average season for Palante. Erra just a shade of below five at 495. Ugly start last time out. Brutal start though for right-hand pitching. Cubs had been crushing righties. They have cooled off a little bit, but he got rocked. Ugly. 6 earned runs across only one and two/3 innings. He counts on the ground ball. Uh Cubs second lowest ground ball rate in the MLB. This could make for a tough start for Palante because the Yankees have the ninth lowest ground ball rate. They’re not a ground ball team either. and they’re pretty good against right-handed pitching. Obviously, Judge back in the lineup, he hasn’t been quite himself, but that we know that’s probably going to only be a matter of time. So, the player prop we’re going to look at here. Now, I do twe lean towards the Yankees money line at minus 137. I just don’t trust either bullpen. Feel like the Yanks have the better starting pitching option here. They’re looking to build off some momentum after winning a series against the Twins, but I just don’t trust their pen. I don’t trust St. Louis’s either at this point after they traded um Hley, Matt, and Matts at the deadline. So, two weak bullpens here. If you’re looking for a side though, I I play the Yankees on the money line, but I much prefer to look towards Heel strikeout line. Now, this one opened last night at 4 and a half, heavily juiced, and it since moved to five and a half, but the good news is you can get it at plus 110. We just mentioned already he struck out seven Astros, much tougher lineup than the Cardinals have in his last outing. Now, he’s facing a Cardinals team uh dead last the last 30 days against righties in WRC plus OPS isolated power. This team is bottom of the barrel against right-handed pitching during the last 30 days. And during that span of time, they’re below average strikeout rate as well, 22.4%. And we’ve now seen seven straight right-handed pitchers clear their respective K lines against the Cardinals. Chase Doander, five strikeouts. Uh Ray, six strikeouts. Otani eight strikeouts. Shehan five strikeouts. Glass now seven strikeouts. Dylan C struck out nine. Vasquez struck out three. He still went over his line. He’s not a strikeout pitcher. His line was set at two and a half and he cleared that one with three. Uh but we’ve seen several guys clear this line now. Otani Glass now sees guys kind of like little a couple of those arms obviously better than Luis Heel, but Heel seems to be rounding into form. We only need six here to get the job done at plus money. And I think we can count on his pitch uh count increasing tonight as he gets his third start under his belt. So that’s going to be our official play for the video. We’re going to go with Heel over five and a half strikeouts at plus 110 over at Caesars. Like I said, that’s our official play. And like I said, you can get my 5% MLB max bet half price today. It’s only$1250 if you pick that one up. And uh like I said, running hot across all sports. Number one over the last five weeks. We’re up 50 units. If you check out my page at Sports Memo, I also have additional free plays for the MLB in the WNBA. And speaking of the WNBA, I have a 3enter actually attached to that 5% play. So, you pick up that 5% MLB play, you’ll get the 5% MLB. I’m gonna be adding another MLB play to the package as well, plus my 3% uh WNBA best bet for the day. And right now, you can get a 90-day all access pass discounted down to $499. That’s exclusive to my page over at Sports Memo. It was $5.99. Uh breaks down to about 550 per day. And you’re going to get the rest of the MLB season right through the World Series, the rest of the WNBA right through their finals, plus over a month of NFL and college football action. Speaking of the NFL, we finished number one in the postseason last year, 11-1 for plus 35 units. So, I’d encourage you guys to go check out that package. Uh it’s a great deal. Like I said, uh $5 Wednesday. you look at those plays, you’ll get $5 play every single day out of me and you’ll get all my sports uh including 5% plays. You get today’s play as well, obviously. As always, my page is linked in the pin comment. I’m always posting free content at sportsmemo as well as over at X at Steve’sbook 222. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. If you’re looking for a side, roll with the Yanks, but official play for our video, we’re going Luis Heel over 5 1/2Ks at plus money. I’ll see you guys next time. Enjoy your weekend and good luck.
