On the latest episode of Bet the Edge, Drew Dinsick highlights why he’s backing USA’s Katie Ledecky (+175) as an underdog in the 400m freestyle event on Sunday at the Tokyo Olympics.
Cowboys beat reporter Newy Scruggs joins the show from Oxnard, California where Dallas has begun their training camp for the 2021 season. He tells Sara and Drew how QB Dak Prescott looks early on after his season-ending injury last year, plus the expectations for RB Ezekiel Elliott in year 2 under head coach Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys over/under win total is 9.5, but Scruggs discusses why their schedule doesn’t look as easy as it seems.
PointsBet Head Trader Jay Croucher stops by to detail where bettors are coming in on NFL futures and why the Cleveland Browns are seeing so much action ahead of the 2021 season. He also recaps how the sportsbooks did after the NBA playoffs and why public bettors may be glad the basketball season has come to an end.
The NL East is very much up for grabs and the Phillies and Braves are seeing the most action in NL East Champion markets.
Sara and Drew wrap up today’s episode with their Edge of the Day plays. Sara expects pitching to stay dominant in Milwaukee and is backing the under (7.5) between the White Sox and Brewers. Drew is feeling patriotic on Friday and sees value in USA’s gold medal prop and is taking the over (43.5).
