Jovan Hurts predicted Shedeur Sanders will ultimately start for Cleveland this season, arguing the rookie-signal caller’s college tape and camp performance make it inevitable. Hurts praised Sanders’ anticipation and accuracy—"he throws it where the receiver is going to be, not at the receiver"—and said reports out of training camp and joint practices have been uniformly glowing. He believes Sanders already belongs high on the depth chart and "will save a lot of jobs" if the Browns commit. While acknowledging some growing pains, Hurts compared the opportunity favorably to cases where lesser QBs have been given chances, asserting bettors and season-long fantasy managers should bank on Sanders emerging as the Browns’ starter.

Jovan Hurts laid out a plus-money angle on Saturday’s game at Chavez Ravine: Dodgers –2.5 runs at +186. He expects a multi-run blow-out because Chris Bassitt’s home/road splits are "crazy," noting the right-hander’s worst starts have all come away from Rogers Centre, including the 15-1 disaster in Boston Hurts attended. Hurts trusts Blake Snell in just his second start as a Dodger to shake off the rust after allowing three runs over five innings last time out. He pointed to Los Angeles’ lineup finally heating up, the Blue Jays’ bullpen coughing up three in the 7th on Friday and having "been giving it up pretty much all season," and the Dodgers’ confidence in late-inning spots. Hurts projects the L.A. bats to "crack" Bassitt early and sees a full eight or nine innings of swings at Dodger Stadium leading to a comfortable cover of the alternate –2.5 run line.

Jovan Hurts recommended laying an alternate run line of San Diego -2 at +145 against Boston. Hurts noted both clubs are 8-2 over their last ten, but expects a downturn for the Red Sox because Walker Buehler is "well-known to these Padres" and San Diego’s lineup is "seeing the ball well". He projected Buehler and Boston’s pen to surrender multiple runs while touting Nick Pivetta’s current form (seven shutout or one-run innings in his last start and a recent string of 1–2 ER outings). Although Boston has Pivetta’s scouting book, Hurts pointed out several current Sox hitters have never faced him. With San Diego’s bats "cracking" and Pivetta motivated versus his former club, Hurts anticipates a comfortable three-plus run Padre victory, so he shortens the spread to -2 to grab plus money instead of laying heavy juice on the standard line.

Jovan Hurts recommended laying the alternate –2 run line with Oakland at +216. Hurts argued that Arizona has waved the white flag on 2025 by dealing away veteran pieces and it is showing in their play: the Diamondbacks came into Saturday off a 5-1 loss and have scored three runs or fewer in four of their past five. He focused in on Zac Gallen’s collapse, noting the right-hander has been tagged for 5, 4 and 6 earned runs in his last three outings and has surrendered multiple runs in virtually every start this summer. Meanwhile Oakland is "seeing the ball and hitting the ball" – Hurts pointed out the A’s bullpen owns a sub-3.00 ERA over the last five games and rookie JT Ginn has not allowed more than two earned in any of his recent turns. With Arizona’s pen "just nasty right now" in a bad way and Oakland’s relievers actually shutting the door, Hurts expects the A’s bats to jump on Gallen early and trusts the pen to hold a multi-run cushion. The payoff is a double-up of your stake, mirroring yesterday’s Padres –2.5 cash at +210.
