Jonathan Coachman is joined by top betting experts Justin Perri, Zack Cimini, Ameer Tyree and Matt Snyder on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get prime plays for the the World Series, NBA and MMA for Tuesday Oct. 26.

Making his Early Edge debut, Matt provides some interesting angles for Game 1 of the World Series, including the long-awaited return to the Fall Classic for Atlanta, and how both teams are well-rested. Justin notes that these teams have not faced off in a few years, yet there are some very nifty managerial storylines to consider. 

Ameer talks about how LeBron James' health is affecting line movement for Lakers-Spurs. Zack considers how the Warriors have been embarking on an unusual early schedule and are now finally traveling out of their time zone. 

Justin is taking the Astros -130 over the Braves in Game 1 of the World Series at 8:09 p.m. ET. "I like the Astros because I like them to continue to get hot against right-handed pitching. Charlie Morton is on the mound," he says. "The Braves have played three of the top four offenses this season in their matchups against the AL East. In the 13 games against Tampa Bay, Boston and Toronto they were 2-11 and allowed 87 runs. The Astros are basically as good, if not better than all of those offenses." Justin is also on the Astros Over 4.5 runs at +110. 

Matt disagrees and is going with Atlanta at +120. He points out that Morton has been better on the road this season, and even though he prefers the Astros to win the series, he believes the Braves will strike first. His Game 1 prop play is for Eddie Rosario to homer at +350. 

Andrew Gombas joins in to offer three plays from Wednesday's PFL Championships. He is taking Ray Cooper III and Magomed Magomedkerimov at Under 4.5 rounds, Marthin Hamlet +170 over Antonio Carlos Jr. and Abigail Montes +275 over Claressa Shields. 

In the NBA, Ameer is recommending the Lakers -4.5 over the Spurs at 8:30 p.m. ET. The matchups definitely favor the Lakers, and the Spurs do not have the star power to contend with them. Zack is backing the Warriors -9 over the Thunder at 8 p.m. ET. Golden State is meshing well and blew OKC out in their meetings last season.
