Wolves Howl, Dodgers Seeing the Money

Your Daily Bread of Betting Insights – May 8, 2025

🌟 Baker’s Note
Sharps are slamming 83% of the cash on the Timberwolves’ -10.5 spread, but the public’s yawning at just 37%—Minny’s ready to howl! Meanwhile, the bar crowd’s tossing 88% of bets and money on the Dodgers’ moneyline at -148 like it’s a sure thing. Anthony Edwards over 27.5 points at -125 is lighting up slips, and Shohei Ohtani’s 2+ bases at -145 is a diamond stud. Yesterday was a gut punch—2-3, -3.5 units, thanks to the Celtics choking a 20-point lead and the Jays melting down—but let’s crack a brew, stack today’s picks, and turn this Thirsty Thursday into a dough-stacking party!
