This is Beeson by the books on Beeson, the Sports Betting Network.

Top of the hour. It is Beeson by the books.

Dave Ross right here at the men gaming hall in Franklin, Kentucky, our closer,

Jensal Lewis, back home in Cleveland, Ohio. What hour we got lined up here. My man, we're going to do some Daily Diamond, and I'm going to go out west to San Diego for your fathers and the Padres and see how they look this year as you break down that team's profile. Going to have Reid join us here, the father of analytics, really, in MMA betting.

So it's going to be great to have Reid on. And again, he was also on First Strike, so Double Duty there. Check it out wherever you get your podcast. Like, subscribe to First Strike.

first round pick from the Atlanta Falcons, they still pick

at 13th overall. So they had the ability in the back end of the first round to be able to swing

this and really sweeten the pot with the extra picks later on. So a win-win, at least on paper,
