Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Early Edge.

0:12.5

We are brought to you by BetMGM, the sports book, born in Vegas.

0:16.7

And we've got a great show for you today as we start to really dive into football season. We've got football picks. We got baseball picks. We've got home run picks. We've got all your picks and questions in the chat. Let's see how we did yesterday on the recap screen. My Cubs first five was looking good for a minute and then it was looking pretty bad. I lose that one, but we go four and two overall. Buckets hits two out of three.

0:40.1

Calvin, an absolute no sweat on that Seagrist rebound under, and the sports line pick

0:45.3

hits very easily. Another winning recap screen. We've been on a nice little run over the last

0:50.7

four or five days, and let's keep it going with the stars of the show. Again, it's football season. So, you know, Tom Casale is going to be here. We got Mike McClure. We got the sniper. There's a lot going on. Mike, a little off the cuff here. I do want to ask you because you came with a football pick. And Tom, you got a football pick, sniper, you got some baseball picks. Can I just ask you for an U.S. Open update?

1:13.7

Any surprises so far?

1:15.2

Is it sort of business as usual through the first few rounds or first couple rounds?

1:20.9

Mostly business as usual here.

1:24.0

After this round like today, Thursday, Friday, it really starts to get interesting.

1:29.7

You're not looking at as many, you know, minus 1,200 lines, minus 2,000 lines.

1:35.2

The matches start to get a little more competitive as the cream kind of rises to the top.

1:40.3

One interesting match that I did not play that happens today.

1:45.0

The American Jensen Brooksby is an underdog.

1:49.4

I think he could be a live underdog, but a lot of variance in that match ultimately

1:53.2

chose not to play it, but I'll be watching it very closely.

1:56.5

Sniper, you kind of have a lot to live up to today because one thing that we left off the recap screen, and I don't know, there's a debate whether we could have put it on or whether we couldn't. As everybody knows that watched yesterday, as Jen is reminding me of, Buckets had his injury. If you missed it, get on Twitter, get on Sportsline YouTube, and watch yesterday's show. It's really incredible what happened as Buckets played with scissors.

2:18.5

And Amags tagged in and sniper, you know what he did? He came in here and he said, hey, listen, I know it's the end of the show, but if you don't mind, I'd like to come on the show. I'd like to give out a home run prop on Aaron Judge. He put Bellinger in the chat as well. And he said, Mike Trout's going to strike out in his first hit bat.

2:16.1

All three of those things hit.

2:17.3

So yeah, we had a four and two recap screen, but I know a ton of chat as well. And he said, Mike Trout's going to strike out in his first hit bat. All three of those

2:34.8

things hit. So yeah, we had a four and two recap screen, but I know a ton of you, of course, why wouldn't you, tailed Amag's plays to some degree? So you could make the argument worse, much better than four and two. But sniper, I mean, that was a mic drop moment. Yeah, I'm not going to, I don't think I would can go that crazy today, although it would be nice, but it's a, that's a high bar.

2:34.5

So yeah. a mic drop moment. Yeah, I'm not going to, I don't think I couldn't go that crazy today,
