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

It's a great Wednesday.

We've got a great recap screen, and we've got a great cast.

Thank you for being in here,us dawson jason paugas

kiley reynolds joshua is in here and of course larry hartstein the meister is in here let's take a look

at the recap screen before we bring in the stars of the show nice little bounce back we've been a little

uneven the last couple of days with like two and three records things like that we'll take three

and one sniper nails his buckets hits his very easily.

Claudia comes in here and nails hers as well. We lose the sports line pick, but we'll take

three and one pretty much every time. But ladies and gentlemen, we got to bring in the stars of the show

because we got a lot to cover, including WNBA, NFL, UFC, MLB, home run props, and a little bit of soccer. We thought we would have buckets on the show today, gentlemen, but he's at the dentist. He's still, he's caught up at the dentist. I don't know what kind of work he's getting done, but he does have a soccer pick for you. Calvin, I'm going to start with you. We don't see you all the time. You've got WNBA. We've got a couple of games tomorrow night. The playoffs are starting. I'm going to ask you about some futures you might like, but how are you doing today?

I'm doing well, yeah, like you said, this weekend is going to be playoffs last day of the regular season tomorrow.

So got a couple picks.

You got to be careful with motivations in these spots with a lot of teams locked in.

But a couple spots I like that we'll talk about.

And then I'm really excited for the playoffs this weekend. Danny Brasco, you've got an NFL play. You've got a UFC play. Tell me about UFC coming up. Yeah, we got UFC fight noche. It's an exciting card, actually. Really big main event between Diego Lopez and Gene Silva for pretty much the number one contender spot at Featherweight. And last night there was Contender Series,

which I can't bet on on any legal books, see ya, that New York has such limited restrictions

on what I can bet on. My friends are out here in Pennsylvania betting on live Mahjong.

I can't even bet on Dana White's Contenders series. So a little frustrating frustrating there. I find state to state you get a lot of different options. Amags, I see you're sporting the beard. Andrew Stanick is in here. He says, Amags, you were right about strider. And I wish I had caught that in time because, listen, I think it's good to have stuff on both sides of the spectrum when we give out a pick.

And yesterday we obviously gave out the strider pick. But you came in here, Amags. I remember you kind of came into the show late in the chat and you said, hey, just so everybody knows, you weren't saying don't take that pick, but you were saying, hey, just so everybody knows, your model has Strider to go over his strikeouts. Can you just talk about that a little bit? It was interesting because I wrote it up in my article too that I personally was not willing to

lay my money on the minus 160 or minus 150 for a little bit lower level for the sixth strikeout.

But I also wasn't loving trying to go up the ladder for seven, eight and nine just because of
