🍊 Three straight wins. Now let's open up the buffet.

GM. This is Everyday Juice, the sports betting newsletter that ate Penguins for dinner and is now staring at a World Series buffet with a small plate.

🍊 The Squeeze Play: A desperate home team with a cheaper price than it opened at. We like a discount.

🥤 The Fresh Pour: Brewers vs. Rays in the World Series. Two franchises, zero titles, one of them fixes that.

🤔 Off the Menu: Last issue's leans went 3-for-3. Juice wants a raise and a parking spot.

⚡ Quick Sips: A 6'9" goalie, a guy who promised to eat dog poop, and a Bears doink called in advance.

🍋 The Sour Squeeze: Thursday night had a 58-yarder, a late field goal and a lot of people yelling at their phones.

🤖 Brain Juice: DraftKings has the Brewers −198 and the Rays +162 for Game 1. Turn both into implied odds and add them up. Why is it more than 100%? Juice did the math with a crayon. Answer in The Last Drop.

The Refill, presented by Pikkit.

🍊 Refill: ✅ · Penguins ML (−114), BetRivers, 1 orange · +0.88u

Pittsburgh shut out a Florida team on its second night in a row 4–0, so "fade the legs" went from theory to a very rude scoreboard.

Record: 17–6 · +9.32u

Last issue's leans, graded (ESPN):

✅ Kings ML (+100, DraftKings): Kings 3, Islanders 2 in OT. Clarke ended it, and Panarin's two goals mean somebody on Long Island is still mad.

✅ Blues ML (+106, FanDuel): Blues 6, Golden Knights 2. Barron put up four points and Vegas left early for the buffet.

✅ Thunder −7.5 (−115, DraftKings): Thunder 96, Nuggets 84. Covered by 4.5. Holmgren grabbed 17 boards and blocked four shots, and Denver's offense never found the light switch.

Three for three. Juice is now demanding a corner office and a nameplate. Vig says leans still don't get promoted, no matter how hot the streak. Leans don't count toward the Squeeze record and carry no units.

Tonight's leans: The almost-Squeeze Plays. We liked them, just not enough.

One run of cushion, priced like it.

Why: Every book in the Action Network feed has the main game total at 6.5, with DraftKings pricing Over 6.5 at −112 and FanDuel at −105. The opener was also 6.5 with the Over at −105, so the market has held its number. Over 5.5 sits a full run below that consensus total, which is why the alt price is steeper.

🧃 Pulp: −160 means this needs to cash about 62% of the time, and Misiorowski led MLB in ERA.

Odds as of 1:03 AM ET. Not official plays. Leans are not part of the Squeeze record.

6'9" (Nice). Cooper Black made his NHL debut as the tallest goalie in league history. Shooters are now aiming for the 4 inches he can't reach. (via @spittinchiclets)

Promises were made. A JMU fan said he'd eat dog poop if they lost. They lost in OT, and he deleted his account. The house always wins, the dog always wins. (via @br_betting)

Big Cat, sports prophet. "I don't feel good about this field goal." Then it doinked. Somebody give this man a crystal ball and a Bears helmet. (via @barstoolsports)

Under 50.5, Patriots at Bears. Late in the fourth it was 27–21, 48 points, and Under bettors were picking out the steak for their victory dinner.

Then Cairo Santos hit a 58-yard field goal, a new career long, with 1:34 left. 51 points. Over by half a point. New England added a 47-yarder with 37 seconds left just to rub it in: Bears 30, Patriots 24, 54 total.

The Over crowd called it "never a doubt." It was nothing but doubt. Under bettors, Juice is sending a fruit basket. It's mostly lemons.

Juice booked a spa day for the weekend. The spa is three games and a hot tub of regret.
