fried green

Las Vegas - Maximus doesn't thrill me, but that's the nickname Max Fried hears from his teammates. I would prefer French Fried, or maybe even, Max Fried Green Tomatoes. Does not matter what nickname Max is using, the kid can pitch. Yea, he's 28, but everyone that's currently playing is a KID to me. Fried took a minute to get going, coming up empty in his first two starts, but I'll just chalk that up to a hangover from the World Series win. Hangover OVER! Max took the hill against the Dodgers last Tuesday and threw 7 innings worth of bagels at L.A., allowing just 2 hits and posting 8 Ks. Looked at Marcus Stroman's work for the Cubs and he is heading in the opposite direction. After a solid start to open the season, Marcus has been roughed up, BIG TIME! He has been ripped for 14 hits and 12 earned runs in just the last 8 innings, and that's, say it with me, UGLIFIED! Gonna get Fried for the money!

How about the latest Top 5 on the NFL Draft Board. Travon Walker has jumped to the top of the charts and is now the betting favorite at 1/2. Aidan Hutchinson dropped down to 5/2, Ikem Ekwonu is 4/1, Evan Neal is 20/1 and Kayvon Thibodeaux is 50/1.

Interested in the first QB selected? Got Malik Willis as the favorite at 1/2, Kenny Pickett at 3/2, Desmond Ridder at 10/1, Matt Corral at 20/1 and Sam Howell at 50/1.

Quick note for all the Ecks & Bacon fans living in or coming to Vegas/Nevada. Per Nevada Gaming regulators, draft bets and props will be taken down 24 hours before the draft, which starts on Thursday at 8:00 p.m. ET, 5:00 here in the desert. So unless you get here on Wednesday before 8:00/5:00, you WILL NOT be able to get any bets down. If you're staying home, check out these states that DO NOT allow betting on the Draft. Connecticut, Iowa, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington are all NO BET states. Or course, if you wanna watch from my patio overlooking Lake Mead, c'mon! We're taking ALL YOUR ACTION!!!
