We’re back on the air!
The technology has been upgraded and we miraculously managed to use it.
There’s a call to action early in the episode and it involves benefiting at @grayruby’s expense. So, listen up.
Thanks to our supportive ~Stacker_Sports listeners. Let us know how the new setup sounds and if we need to adjust anything.

Cool new setup. Even got a soundboard now. Definitely becoming professional podcasters.
If we do land Giannis, you go and write the lyrics @grayruby. I'll sing the whole song for you, not cheaping out on singing just the chorus.
It would be a great story if the Pacers win the chip, since almost no one believed they could win it. And the path they took just to get to the finals is nothing short of multiple miracles happening. It's as if they are the destined team and have the full support of the basketball gods. Even though I picked OKC to win on every contest, every occasion, I can't help but secretly (or maybe not so secretly) cheer for the Pacers to win it. Plus, it's more fun to cheer for the underdog. I'll be missing the first half, and maybe even the 3rd quarter of today's game because I'll be at my little one's ringette practice. Hoping to at least catch the 4th quarter. Go Pacers?!

The Pacers winning would definitely be the most fun outcome.

You only really need to catch the last couple of minutes of a Pacers game.

This is my strategy. I am probably going to miss the first half tonight.

True based on past games during this season's playoff run.

  • They've upgraded their recording software, introducing sound effects and exploring features like live streams with chats.
  • Audio quality might differ due to equipment changes, and they seek listener feedback on audio levels.
Predicts Market and Betting Discussions:

  • Strategies include speculative attacks on team positions (e.g., 49ers), with playful banter about outsmarting each other.
  • Mention of other Predicts markets like chess tournaments and cricket, with community engagement in the Stacker Sports territory.

  • Analysis of team strategies, fan bases, and the matchup dynamics between the Oilers’ offense and Panthers’ defense.
Basketball (NBA Finals):
  • Recap of a dramatic Pacers comeback against the Thunder, highlighting Tyrese Halliburton's clutch performance (5/5 on game-winning shots).
  • Debate on Halliburton’s status as a top player, with comparisons to other elite point guards and discussion on his impact on game pace.
  • Predictions for the series, with expectations of a Thunder bounce-back but acknowledgment of Pacers’ resilience.
  • Offseason speculation on trades, particularly Giannis Antetokounmpo to Houston or Toronto, and Kevin Durant’s potential moves.
Football (NFL Updates):
  • Aaron Rodgers’ move to the Steelers for $13 million, seen as a fit for a desperate team but not a game-changer (predicted 9-10 wins).

  • Talk of trading Pirates’ pitcher Paul Skenes for future assets given the team’s lack of contention and his high value.
  • MVP market analysis, with Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani dominating (high WAR stats), making betting against them largely a bet on injury.

Is it my kid rampaging around in the background? Or, are you asking about our studio audience?

It's hard to justify their presence, considering our budget and how little they react.

As a follow up to our Judge MVP Predyx market conversation. Judge is actually underpriced on Predyx.
Here is the current AL MVP odds on FanDuel.

Dang. I might need to reevaluate.

Cal Raleigh is having an absolute monster year so far, especially for a catcher. He is currently on pace for 65 homers. If he hits 65 homers and or Judge gets hurt there might be a chance Judge doesn't win.
Cal Raleigh has never hit more than 34 homers. So I wouldn't count on it.

Btw Cal Raleigh's nickname is Big Dumper because he has a big ass. Probably the best nickname in baseball right now.
