Former President Donald Trump's administration reportedly explored ways to influence international soccer outcomes, a detail shared in a collection of notes that also offer sports betting recommendations. The notes reference an instance where Trump "tried to make America great again by making Folarin Balogun’s red card disappear," humorously comparing the impact of Balogun's return to a reality television personality rejoining a show.
The commentary suggests a lighthearted approach to soccer fandom, with a reference to "fans who jumped on the USA bandwagon" being likened to those unfamiliar with prominent athletes. This is juxtaposed with an account of watching a soccer match between Argentina and Egypt while getting a haircut, with Argentina ultimately winning 3-2.
MLB Betting Predictions
Shifting focus to baseball, the notes provide a specific betting pick for an upcoming MLB game. "Stitches," a handicapper for the New York Post since 2019, predicts that Dylan Cease will lead the visiting Blue Jays to a victory over the Giants. The recommended bet is to "Play $50 on Dylan Cease and the Blue Jays (-118, BetMGM)" for the game on Wednesday, where Logan Webb is slated to start for the Giants. IMAGE1
Another brief mention is made of a Detroit Tigers game, where Tarik Skubal struck out nine batters and Colt Keith hit a home run in a 6-2 win against the A's, snapping a winning streak.
