Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a loaded Wednesday card that covers two NBA playoff Game 2s, a ten-game MLB slate, and the Framber Valdez meltdown that had the baseball world talking Tuesday night. Tuesday went one and one, the Lakers team total got there quietly, Cade Cavalli got roughed up, and Dave's Rangers first-five under died when Texas scored three in the top of the first, but April closed strong and the guys are right back at it.

Brunson over is Munaf's best bet. In the West, Minnesota stole Game 1 in San Antonio 104-102 despite Victor Wembanyama posting 12 blocks in a record-setting performance, though Wembanyama went 5 of 17 from the floor and De'Aaron Fox added 5 of 14, with the two combining to shoot 10 of 31 from the field. The Spurs are nine and a half point home favorites for Game 2 with the total at 215 and a half. Dave leans over, citing the S…
