RJ Bell, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA Finals betting and NFL this week. The "Dream Podcast NBA Finals Game 3 Reaction & NFL Wind Report" is a sports discussion hosted by RJ Bell alongside Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers. The conversation begins with light banter and references to “Happy Days” before transitioning to a Father's Day promo and hot betting streaks by Andre Gomes and Fezik. RJ highlights their impressive records—49-21 and 25-7 respectively—with total units gained standing at +59 and +37. The analysis then turns toward the NBA Finals Game 3, where the Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC) lost to the Indiana Pacers. Mackenzie breaks down the collapse, emphasizing OKC’s rotational rigidity as a critical flaw. Although Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) played 42 minutes, his brief rest early in the fourth allowed a 10-0 Pacers run, turning a 103-100 OKC lead into a loss. RJ critiques OKC’s systemic inexperience, noting their league-second-fewest 24 clutch games in the regular season. Meanwhile, Indiana’s superior poise in tight games continues, now boasting a 9-1 playoff record in clutch situations, defined as within five points during the final five minutes. Scott lauds Pacers coach Rick Carlisle for implementing a Spurs-like approach—balanced scoring and consistent fourth-quarter performances. The Pacers have scored 32 or more points in every fourth quarter of the series so far. Indiana’s Benedict Mathurin came off the bench to score 27, bolstering the team’s depth. RJ discusses the market perception of the Thunder and Pacers, suggesting OKC was overvalued due to their youth and playoff inexperience. Historically, NBA teams favored by -600 or more have gone 10-1 over the last 50 years; should Indiana win, it would rival the 2011 Mavericks’ upset and perhaps even eclipse it. The discussion transitions into betting market mechanics, specifically the zigzag theory, which expects teams to rebound after a loss. While this strategy is currently hitting at 66% against the spread in these playoffs, RJ notes it’s not profitable long-term due to line adjustments. The team cites that home dogs in Game 3 receive an average 4.5-point boost, and home favorites see about 8.5 points. They then preview Game 4, citing that OKC is 5-0 after playoff losses, averaging a +8 first-quarter margin. Yet, the Thunder are 0-8 against the spread on the road during the postseason. The podcast closes with a detailed look at NFL betting trends related to wind. Since 1999, games played in over 25 mph winds have gone 33-10-2 to the under, a 77% rate, averaging 8 fewer points than the line. Even at 15-19 mph, the under holds a 2-point edge. Finally, they briefly touch on Aaron Rodgers’ surprise marriage and his move to Pittsburgh, noting that Vegas markets had already priced in his team change, keeping the Steelers' win total at 8.3 and showing no Super Bowl odds shift. The Dolphins’ win total dropped from 8.1 to 7.5, the largest decline in the NFL, potentially due to depth issues or quarterback concerns. Learn more about your ad choices.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the U.S. Open at Oakmont. -Going over top 7 names on odds board -1 matchup -2 top nationality tickets -3 futures outrights (+350, 14/1, 18/1) -2 outrights added (100/1 & 150/1) -Sleeper, 2 lineups, scoring -Best bet For more on the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59 In the "U.S. Open at Oakmont Picks and Predictions" podcast, Will Doctor provides a comprehensive betting preview of the upcoming U.S. Open at Oakmont. Beginning at 0:16, Doctor sets the tone with energetic anticipation, positioning Oakmont as a legendary course hosting the U.S. Open for a record tenth time. From 0:43, he sharply critiques the previous RBC Canadian Open, describing the Osprey Valley course as “a disgrace” and detailing a 5.8-unit loss that week, with Sam Burns’ top-20 finish as the lone success. Despite the setbacks, he praises Ryan Fox’s recent success, highlighting the Kiwi’s two playoff victories in four starts and his historic Canadian Open win, the first by a New Zealander since 1968. Doctor then shifts focus to Oakmont’s rich history. He recounts notable U.S. Open wins, including Tommy Armour (1927), Sam Parks Jr. (1935), and Ben Hogan’s record-setting 1953 season. He emphasizes Jack Nicklaus’ 1962 victory over Arnold Palmer at age 22, which kickstarted Nicklaus' legendary career. Johnny Miller’s final-round 63 in 1973 is labeled the greatest round in U.S. Open history, despite not being the lowest score ever. Further champions like Larry Nelson (1983), Ernie Els (1994), Angel Cabrera (2007), and Dustin Johnson (2016) round out Oakmont’s storied hosting record. At 12:00, Doctor begins his betting picks. He endorses Scottie Scheffler (+350) as outright number one, citing dominant recent wins and past experience at Oakmont, where he missed the cut by one in 2016. Bryson DeChambeau, with a futures ticket from December at 14-1, is lauded for his driving power and improved approach play, though his recent accuracy issues raise concern. DeChambeau claims Oakmont is “the toughest test in the world right now,” and Doctor remains confident in his form. Rory McIlroy is passed over due to a poor performance at the Canadian Open, including erratic driving and uninspired play. Doctor quotes Rory discussing his struggle for motivation and interest in hobbies like tennis. John Rahm, however, is preferred in a head-to-head matchup (-133), praised for his polished game despite recent putting inconsistency. Doctor argues Rahm is better equipped than Rory to handle Oakmont’s demands. Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa are also faded. Xander’s driving accuracy is flagged as a season-long weakness, and Morikawa is critiqued for losing strokes around the green in five of his last six starts, rendering him unfit for a major requiring elite scrambling. Ludwig Åberg is highlighted as a top Nordic pick at +180, benefiting from strong recent form and inconsistent competition, with Joachim Lagerlund identified as his main threat. Doctor names Hideki Matsuyama as top Japanese player at even money, emphasizing his elite U.S. Open history and the weak form of his countrymen. Outright picks include Scheffler (+350), DeChambeau (14-1), Brooks Koepka (18-1, faded due to poor form), Keegan Bradley (100-1, riding strong recent finishes), and Cam Young (150-1), who’s gained strokes off the tee and on the greens recently. Young’s playoff qualification over top names and his form earn him sleeper status. Two fantasy lineups are provided. A DraftKings build includes Rahm, Åberg, Spieth, Bradley, Young, and Leishman. The PGA Tour lineup features Scheffler (captain), Bradley, DeChambeau, and Young, with Åberg and Leishman on the bench. Doctor predicts a winning score of -3, depending on weekend rain, and offers Cam Young to finish top 28 at +320 as his best bet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

NBA Finals Game 3 Preview + Best Bets !! 49:33

49:33

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA Finals Game 3 betting. Best bets as always. The podcast hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers on RJ Bell's Dream Preview delves into the NBA Finals Game 3 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. The conversation opens with a recap of the first two games. Game 1 saw Indiana pull off a dramatic 111-110 comeback win despite Oklahoma City dominating most of the match. Rivers critiqued the Thunder’s 207 passes—lowest in the league this season—paired with suboptimal shooting: SGA scored 38 on 14-of-30, while Holmgren went 2-of-9 and Jalen Williams shot 6-of-19. He referenced young stars’ struggles in early Finals appearances to contextualize OKC’s performance and emphasized his power ratings still favor Thunder significantly over Pacers. In Game 2, the Thunder responded decisively with a 123-107 victory. Munaf noted heavy betting movement on OKC and the ease with which they covered both spread and team total (120.5). Player stats were more balanced: SGA posted 34 points on 11-of-21 shooting, Holmgren bounced back with 15 on 6-of-11, Caruso hit four threes en route to 20 points, and Wiggins added 18 off the bench. Munaf applauded Coach Mark Daigneault for stellar in-game and series adjustments, likening his growing status to elite coaches. Rivers supported this by citing Daigneault’s league-best 60.2% ATS record since 2020-21 (220-139-7), reinforcing Thunder’s first-half dominance where they’ve led by an average of 14 points and both games' first halves stayed under the total. They discussed betting angles with Game 3 looming. While Rivers downplayed OKC’s 0-7 ATS road playoff record due to small sample size, he endorsed betting Thunder -5.5 based on his power ratings and market comparison. The Thunder were -400 after splitting two games with Denver; against Indiana, the series price ballooned to -525, implying the market sees Indiana as a weaker opponent. He argued the spread should be closer to -7, citing historical trends where teams that won and covered Game 2 as road favorites in Game 3 are 3-0 straight up and ATS. Munaf explored Indiana’s home court advantage, citing their 16 playoff home games over two seasons: 12-4 SU, 11-5 ATS, and 10-6 to the over. He correlated betting the over with Pacers’ competitiveness. Rivers agreed, noting the faster-than-usual Finals pace (102.5 and 98), exceeding previous series like Heat-Nuggets. He identified both teams’ willingness to launch threes as a key driver of pace despite low transition play. Both agreed on the over (228) for Game 3. They highlighted Tyrese Halliburton’s prop values. When Halliburton scores 20+, he averages 11 assists; below that, just 7.5. He’s had 8 double-doubles in 18 playoff games, 4 at home. Munaf and Rivers both endorsed his over on combined points and assists (25.5) and his double-double at +160. Shifting to league news, they addressed Darius Garland’s toe surgery which sidelines him for 4–5 months. Trade rumors link him to Sacramento. Rivers emphasized Garland’s significance to Cleveland’s offensive identity alongside Mitchell. With Garland out or traded, the Eastern Conference becomes wide open. Despite injuries, Rivers considers Cleveland a better team than Indiana or New York if healthy. Odds show Knicks and Pacers at 8-1, Cavs at 11-1, Celtics falling to 20-1 due to Tatum’s issues. They closed by discussing the Knicks coaching vacancy. Jason Kidd, Mike Malone, and longshots like Jeff Van Gundy or Johnny Bryant were mentioned. Kidd’s potential move may stem from dissatisfaction with the Luka Doncic trade. They agreed New York requires a seasoned coach, with Vogel and Budenholzer seen as less dynamic fits. Munaf finished with promo details and noted Halliburton practiced fully despite “a leg thing,” suggesting no injury impact for Game 3. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk Tuesday MLB betting. Best bets as always. 🎯 Conclusion (Spoiler-Style Recap) Munaf and Griffin dissect multiple MLB matchups, emphasizing starting pitchers' recent performance and team trends. Griffin favors the Guardians (-115) for their bullpen edge and dislikes short home favorites despite his cautious optimism. Munaf backs the Cardinals as a home dog due to Chris Bassett’s poor road form and Myles Mikolas’s consistent presence. Other key takes include fading Sandy Alcantara despite pedigree, backing Phillies under 9.5 due to offensive slumps, and exploring Royals +1.5 for lefty-split success. They advise caution on games with missing or unstable pitcher designations and encourage betting line awareness. The show wraps with best bets and a promo plug. 🎙️ Andrew Abbott analysis : Big May performance (32.2 IP, 2 ER), but last outing vs. Brewers (6 IP, 5 ER) showed regression risk. ⚾ Sandy Alcantara & Mitch Keller matchup : Sandy has a poor ERA (7.89), while Keller is 8-1 with 4.13 ERA; Pirates favored due to Alcantara's recent struggles. 📉 Phillies offense without Harper : Struggled post-sweep in Pittsburgh; regression expected. Under 9.5 is considered valuable. 📊 Mick Abel & Colin Rea : Mick has delivered in early starts; Rea consistent on road.

Brewers as home dogs suggested. 🟥 Cardinals & Mikolas : STL has won Mikolas’s last 5 starts; Bassett is 1-5 in road starts. Underdog home team value. 📉 Brandon Pfaadt collapse : 13 ER over last 3 IP across 2 starts; Mariners’ Woo favored despite slight road dip.

Marlins vs. Pirates [6:26–10:34] Sandy’s high ERA (7.89) and poor late-inning form limit value; Keller’s 8-1 record sways Griffin to Pittsburgh despite price concerns. Cubs vs. Phillies [10:36–13:33] Cubs’ Rea has excelled recently; Phillies offense struggling without Harper. Mick Abel strong in limited work. Munaf favors under 9.5.

Blue Jays vs. Cardinals [27:47–30:02] Bassett’s road woes (1-5 team record), Mikolas undefeated in last 5 starts. Munaf and Griffin agree: Cardinals ML is mispriced. White Sox vs. Astros [30:04–32:33] McCullers on a 4-game win streak since May 10; Astros hot without Alvarez. Griffin leans under; Munaf takes Astros RL at +112. Giants vs. Rockies [32:34–35:02] Harrison improving; Rockies 1-17 vs. LHP.

1:04:58

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. Best bets as always. Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner preview the MLB Friday slate on RJ Bell’s Dream Preview. They open by discussing the Orioles’ recent 9-2 stretch despite being 11 games under .500, and Minnesota’s past long winning streak. Griffin reflects on Moneyball’s low ranking on his movie list and praises Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs. In the Phillies vs. Pirates matchup, Joe Ross starts for Philly as an opener while Bailey Falter, performing solidly for Pittsburgh, starts for the Pirates. Both agree under 9 runs is the best angle due to limited offensive firepower from Pittsburgh and Ross's limited innings. Next, Texas faces Washington with Patrick Corbin vs. Michael Soroka. Corbin has stabilized while Soroka battles recurring injuries. Griffin likes Nationals ML and over 9.5, noting Nationals’ young talent and the weather boosting offense. Munaf supports first 5 over and Nationals’ team total over, citing Texas’ poor 9-20 road record. In Red Sox vs. Yankees, Walker Buehler faces Will Warren. Boston’s bats have struggled, while Warren allowed 7 ER in his last outing. Both predict an over 9 outcome, expecting Rafael Devers to homer and citing both teams’ bullpen issues. The Diamondbacks visit Cincinnati with Eduardo Rodriguez vs. Nick Lodolo. Rodriguez has allowed 13 ER over his last 3 starts with control issues. Lodolo’s 4-4 record and 3.10 ERA give Griffin confidence in the Reds. Munaf favors Reds ML and sees plenty of scoring. Astros travel to Cleveland with Colton Gordon vs. Logan Allen. Allen's lefty matchup gives the right-handed Astros lineup an edge, but Munaf remains cautious due to Houston’s late travel. Griffin would take Astros at plus money, considering Cleveland’s competitiveness. Kansas City faces the White Sox with Seth Lugo vs. Davis Martin. Lugo has dominated the White Sox historically, allowing just 3 ER over 29.1 IP. Munaf strongly supports Royals RL, citing Lugo’s recent success against Chicago, while Griffin leans over 8. The Padres visit Milwaukee with Randy Vasquez vs. Chad Patrick. Vasquez’s control issues and HR susceptibility concern both hosts. Griffin makes Brewers ML -142 his best bet, citing Milwaukee’s base-stealing prowess and San Diego’s fatigue after extra-inning games. Munaf adds Brewers first 5 team total over. Dodgers face Cardinals with Justin Robleski vs. Sonny Gray. Injuries to Betts and Freeman concern both. Griffin trusts Gray as a home underdog, noting St. Louis’ bullpen depth. Munaf supports Over 8.5, expecting offensive production from both sides. The Mets visit Colorado with Kodai Senga vs. Antonio Senzatela. Senzatela enters 1-10 with a 7.14 ERA and 1.98 WHIP. Munaf makes Mets team total Over 6.5 his best bet, expecting New York’s offense to dominate at Coors Field. Griffin acknowledges Rockies’ rare 3-game win streak but avoids backing them. Seattle travels to Anaheim with Bryce Miller facing Kyle Hendricks. Miller’s bone spur has altered his delivery, making Griffin favor the Angels ML, citing their hot bats and rest advantage. Munaf agrees, backing the Angels and runs scored. In San Francisco, Braves’ Spencer Schwellenbach faces Giants’ Hayden Birdsong. Schwellenbach has 22 Ks in his last two starts, but Griffin trusts Birdsong and Giants’ bullpen, backing the under 7.5 and Giants ML. Munaf echoes this, emphasizing both pitchers’ strong form. They close with Griffin taking Brewers ML as his best bet and Munaf locking in Mets team total Over 6.5. They promote pregame.com with a STRIKE20 discount code for picks packages.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the 2025 RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto. -Discussing top 7 on odds board -2 t20's -3 outrights (40/1, 80/1, 100/1) -Sleeper, talking Cougar Collins -FRP, 2 lineups, scoring, best bet For the latest on the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59 The 2025 RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto brings exciting betting opportunities and player analysis. Hosted at Osprey Valley, this wide-open, low-hazard course with oversized greens promises a birdie-fest with a projected winning score of 27-under par. Will Doctor’s PGA Tour Preview Podcast delivers in-depth insights for bettors and fans. Rory McIlroy leads the odds at +450, having won twice and posted two additional top-10s in four Canadian Open starts. Despite some recent iron play struggles, McIlroy’s game suits the forgiving Toronto course, though Doctor passes due to short odds. Ludvig Åberg sits at 16-1 after a strong 16th-place finish at Memorial and a prior 7th at the Masters. Corey Conners, at 20-1, boasts consistent ball-striking and improved putting but faces distance concerns. Shane Lowry’s excellent tee-to-green game is offset by putting woes, making him a fade at 22-1. Robert MacIntyre, last year’s champion, faces chipping and driving distance issues, leading Doctor to pass on him at 30-1. Taylor Pendrith’s elite iron play is countered by inconsistent putting, leaving him off the card at 30-1. Sam Burns offers strong value with elite putting and returning iron form, making him a top-20 pick at +125. Johnny Keefer, a 24-year-old emerging star, enters with Korn Ferry Tour success and a recent U.S. Open qualification, earning a top-20 bet at +250. Luke Clanton, the Florida State standout with historic amateur PGA Tour performances, is backed for an outright win at 40-1. Gary Woodland, recovering strong form and elite bentgrass putting, holds value at 80-1. Eric Van Rooyen’s dominant U.S. Open qualifying win makes him a compelling 100-1 outright play. Sleeper Cougar Collins, a TPC Toronto member, earned his Canadian Open spot via qualifying and is backed for a top-40 finish at 8-1. First-round pick Harry Hall, ranked 6th in first-round scoring average, offers value at 4-1 to finish top-10 after round one. DraftKings lineup selections include Åberg, Burns, Clanton, Keefer, Van Rooyen, and Collins, while PGA Tour Fantasy features Åberg, Hall, Clanton, Van Rooyen (Captain), Keefer, and Burns.

NBA Finals - Game 1 Preview + Best Bets !! 48:03

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down NBA Finals Game 1 between the Thunder and Pacers. The guys also give out best bets. On RJ Bell's Dream Preview NBA podcast, Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers preview the 2024-2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers. Munaf opens by announcing the matchup and noting the Finals odds, with OKC favored at -700. He then covers breaking news that Tom Thibodeau has been fired by the Knicks despite leading them to back-to-back 50-win seasons and a conference finals appearance. Mackenzie says while surprising, it's easier to replace coaches than players in today’s NBA, referencing possible Knicks replacements like Mike Malone and Jay Wright. Both agree that without a consistent second scorer next to Jalen Brunson, the Knicks remain flawed. The conversation shifts to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s rumored interest in joining the Toronto Raptors. Mackenzie notes the Raptors’ assets like Scottie Barnes and the ninth draft pick, making a trade feasible. They discuss how the Eastern Conference has opened up due to injuries to stars like Jayson Tatum and uncertainty around Giannis’ future. Munaf suggests Giannis may seek an easier path to championships by moving to the East. Turning to the Finals, both highlight Indiana’s surprising run, defeating an injury-riddled Bucks, the top-seeded Cavaliers, and the Knicks. Yet, Mackenzie emphasizes OKC's statistical superiority, noting their league-best +12.6 net rating compared to Indiana’s +2.1. The 10.5-point gap is the second largest in seven years of playoff matchups. Historically, teams with such a margin almost always win quickly, often in five games or less. Munaf praises OKC's playoff-best defensive rating of 104.7, their dominance in steals, and their elite fast break defense. Both teams rank top-three in pace, but OKC's versatility gives them an edge. Mackenzie likens Indiana to a "AAA version" of OKC and predicts either a sweep or five-game series. They acknowledge Indiana’s edge in 3-point shooting at 40.1%, while OKC ranks 13th out of 16 playoff teams. However, OKC’s depth, led by SGA, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Lu Dort, Hartenstein, and Caruso, is seen as decisive. Munaf and Mackenzie analyze Game 1, with OKC favored by nine points. Mackenzie favors betting OKC in the first half due to their rest advantage (9 days vs Indiana’s 4 days). Historical data shows well-rested teams go 22-7 straight up and 20-9 ATS in such scenarios. He notes SGA’s dominance against Indiana, averaging 36 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists across three recent games, including a 45-point game. Munaf adds that OKC’s defense, unlike the Knicks', is fully equipped to contain Indiana’s offense, especially Tyrese Haliburton. They quiz each other on Finals experience: Caruso (Thunder), Siakam, Nesmith, and Bryant (Pacers). Debating the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, Mackenzie leans Siakam due to his two-way impact, though both acknowledge Halliburton’s critical offensive role. Finally, they share best bets. Munaf selects OKC -9 for Game 1 and Siakam over 19.5 points, citing favorable matchups against OKC’s interior defenders. Mackenzie agrees, adding that Siakam's playoff experience positions him well. For Finals MVP longshots, Mackenzie likes Siakam at 16-1, while Munaf backs Jalen Williams at 35-1 as a breakout candidate if defenses focus heavily on SGA. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB Tuesday from a betting perspective. Best bets as always. This podcast episode features Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner breaking down the full Tuesday MLB betting slate with detailed game-by-game analysis, pitcher matchups, team trends, player performances, and betting recommendations. The show opens by discussing missing lines for a few games but covering all available matchups. The Colorado Rockies visit the Miami Marlins with Chase Dollander facing Sandy Alcantara, who struggles with an 8.47 ERA and 1.67 WHIP, prompting both hosts to lean towards Rockies team total over and even Rockies run line. In the Houston Astros versus Pittsburgh Pirates game, Lance McCullers Jr. takes the mound for Houston after returning strong from injury while Paul Skenes starts for Pittsburgh. Despite Skenes' excellence, Griffin prefers fading the Pirates bullpen while Munaf leans under the 7.5 total. The Chicago Cubs face the Washington Nationals, with Cade Horton opposing Trevor Williams, who carries a 5.69 ERA. Nationals young bats, especially James Wood, have been surging, leading both to like the Nationals moneyline and first 5 innings over. The Cleveland Guardians travel to Yankee Stadium where Carlos Rodon starts against Tanner Bybee. Rodon boasts strong recent form and career stats versus Cleveland, leading to a consensus on Yankees moneyline and run line. In Toronto, the Phillies start Christopher Sanchez against Bowden Francis of the Blue Jays. With Harper’s injury status still unclear, both lean towards Phillies team total over and full game over 8.5. The Angels visit Boston with You Say Kikuchi facing Brian Bello. Bello’s inability to work deep into games and Kikuchi’s past struggles at Fenway push both towards Angels moneyline and the over. Milwaukee Brewers visit Cincinnati with Freddy Peralta against Hunter Greene. Greene’s poor history against Milwaukee, allowing frequent home runs, leads both hosts to prefer Brewers moneyline and target Christian Yelich home run props. Arizona Diamondbacks visit Atlanta where Zac Gallen faces Spencer Strider. Both pitchers have struggled recently, but Griffin trusts Gallen slightly more, leaning Diamondbacks moneyline and over 8.5. The Rangers face the Rays in Tampa with Tyler Mahle versus Drew Rasmussen. Rasmussen’s strong recent form and Tampa's under trend make the under appealing, with a slight edge to the Rays. Kansas City Royals visit St. Louis Cardinals with Michael Lorenzen opposing Andre Pallante. Lorenzen's solid career stats versus the Cardinals and Pallante’s recent control issues steer Munaf toward Royals moneyline while Griffin prefers Cardinals if the price drops. In Seattle, Baltimore Orioles send Tomoyuki Sugano against George Kirby. Kirby’s recent struggles and Orioles recent wins push both towards Baltimore moneyline with caution towards the total. San Diego Padres visit San Francisco Giants with Romeo Burkert opening against Landen Roupp. The Giants’ bullpen dominance and Padres offensive issues make Giants moneyline and under the preferred plays. The night concludes with the New York Mets visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers, featuring Tyler Megill versus Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw’s perfect 11-0 career record against the Mets leads both to confidently back Dodgers moneyline. Griffin’s best bet is Dodgers ML while Munaf selects Brewers ML.

The Inside Pitch w/Josh Towers: Ep 10 58:18

vor 10 Tagen58:18

58:18

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about all the blowouts in baseball this year, the most wins in June market and the latest stories around the game. In this June 2nd episode of The Inside Pitch, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers analyze MLB’s increasing blowouts. This season has already seen 46 games decided by 10+ runs, a record high since 2004. Towers attributes this to rushed player promotions, shortened drafts, minor league cuts, and analytics failing to teach players in-game adjustments. They cite examples such as Padres overcoming a 6-0 deficit against the Marlins and Diamondbacks’ collapse due to emotional hangovers, underscoring how coaching and mental preparedness affect outcomes. The duo discusses bullpen usage’s critical role in betting, highlighting the Red Sox’s rested bullpen as an advantage. Towers explains that rested pens allow better in-game flexibility and reduce reliance on struggling relievers. Player development also takes center stage with the debate over Roman Anthony’s MLB readiness. While his AAA stats are strong, Towers emphasizes non-statistical growth areas like situational hitting and emotional maturity. Craig Breslow’s careful approach reflects a balance between development and team competitiveness. Looking at June betting markets, the Yankees, Dodgers, and Tigers share favorite status at +650. Towers favors the Tigers due to their home-heavy, softer schedule. He also projects the Nationals as a 2026 division contender, crediting their steady development. They examine profitability trends, identifying the Tigers as the most profitable moneyline and run line team, while the Rockies remain the best team to fade. The Cubs, Cardinals, Guardians, and Mets round out the most profitable sides, while Orioles, Braves, A’s, and White Sox follow the Rockies in fade profitability. The conversation shifts to run support, highlighting pitchers like Andrew Heaney, who receives only 2.17 runs per start, despite a 3.39 ERA. Others like Kyle Freeland and Mitch Keller face similar challenges. Meanwhile, Max Fried benefits from 7.17 runs per start, aiding his success. Towers explains how run support impacts pitcher performance and confidence, influencing managerial decisions and pitcher development. Later, they address Corbin Burns’ elbow injury, which appears severe as he was seen mouthing “elbow is done” after leaving a game. Towers elaborates on the biomechanics behind such injuries, emphasizing the importance of shoulder alignment and core stability to prevent stress on the elbow. Towers credits his own injury-free career to disciplined maintenance of these mechanics. They close discussing the Mariners retiring Ichiro’s and Randy Johnson’s number 51, an unprecedented honor. Towers reflects on his pitching strategy against Ichiro, where focusing on a single pitch location neutralized Ichiro’s strengths. The podcast wraps with Seidenberg offering promotional codes for listeners and previewing upcoming MLB series while noting NBA and NHL finals on the horizon. Learn more about your ad choices.

NBA Preview - Knicks at Pacers GM 6 !! 49:40

vor 13 Tagen49:40

49:40

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for this weekend. The guys also give out best bets. In this episode of RJ Bell’s Dream Preview, Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers analyzed the NBA Playoffs, focusing on the Knicks-Pacers Game 6 and Oklahoma City Thunder’s Western Conference Finals victory. The Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 124-94 in Game 5 to close the series 4-1. Mackenzie emphasized that OKC’s key series win was against the Nuggets, which elevated them from contender to champion-level status. Shea Gilgeous-Alexander's playoff performance was historic: 29.7 points, 6.9 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 47.1% shooting, and only 2.1 turnovers per game. Only Michael Jordan, Nikola Jokic, and LeBron James have posted similar numbers in playoff history. OKC’s defense also made history, holding two teams under 10 points in the first quarter within six games, something no team has previously accomplished. Their balanced profile of third in offense and first in defense mirrors the 2015 Warriors. With 61 total wins, the Thunder have surpassed the 2017-18 Warriors for the most 10-point playoff wins ever. Mackenzie argued that betting markets are undervaluing OKC, who entered the Finals as -750 favorites. Shifting to the Eastern Conference, the Knicks won Game 5 against the Pacers 111-94. Jalen Brunson led with 32 points on 12 of 18 shooting, Karl-Anthony Towns added 24 points and 13 rebounds, and Josh Hart contributed 12 points and 10 rebounds in 34 minutes. The Knicks’ defense has consistently limited Indiana, holding them under 100 points in both of their series wins. Mackenzie critiqued betting lines that made Indiana 3.5-point favorites for Game 6, arguing the market was reacting to recent outcomes rather than overall team strength. Injuries also factored in, with Pacers defender Aaron Nesmith limited to 16 minutes due to an ankle injury. Pascal Siakam admitted postgame that the Knicks "played harder," signaling New York's edge in effort. Mackenzie highlighted Towns' advantageous matchup against Myles Turner, citing Towns’ career average of 28 points per game against him and recommending a prop bet on Towns scoring over 22.5 points. Josh Hart’s rebounding was also emphasized, with Hart posting 10 or more rebounds in 14 of his last 16 games against the Pacers when playing at least 30 minutes. His rebounding prop was set at 9.5 rebounds with plus odds, and his double-double was available at +254 odds. Mackenzie revealed his updated player rankings based on playoff performances. Nikola Jokic ranked first at 97.5 out of 100, followed by SGA at 97, Giannis at 96.5, Luka and Steph both at 95.5, with Tatum and Anthony Davis tied at 94. Jalen Brunson and Anthony Edwards both earned a 93 rating, while Tyrese Haliburton was ranked 23rd. Mackenzie argued Haliburton’s playoff inconsistency and low scoring frequency kept him outside the top tier. Karl-Anthony Towns was ranked 19th, performing better than Haliburton overall. Ja Morant was downgraded to 26th due to his limited availability, while Sengun led the Rockets contingent. Both hosts discussed the international dominance in today’s NBA, with Jokic, SGA, Giannis, Luka, and Wembenyama leading a generational shift. Mackenzie concluded that the Knicks have the momentum and desperation advantage heading into Game 6, predicting they could force a Game 7 at Madison Square Garden. They agreed to record another episode if Game 7 materializes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The guys also give out best bets. The MLB Friday podcast with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner previewed the full Friday slate with in-depth betting analysis. Munaf opened by noting seasonal transitions while Griffin celebrated being up 22 units in May. Munaf described his bad beat with Arizona’s bullpen meltdown against the Phillies. Griffin praised Corbin Burns’ outing despite Munaf’s loss. For Cubs vs Reds, Andrew Abbott was confirmed for Cincinnati while Colin Rea was probable for Chicago. Rea's 5-1 record against the Reds was clouded by a 5.88 ERA. Griffin warned against trusting Reds closer Emilio Pagan, recommending first-five bets for Reds backers. Munaf noted mild wind at Wrigley, making early scoring possible. For Orioles vs White Sox, confusion surrounded Chicago’s starting pitcher—Sean Burke or Jared Shuster. The Orioles were heavy -215 favorites. Munaf hesitated to back either side, citing Zach Eflin's recent struggles and Chicago's poor form. Griffin criticized the White Sox as dysfunctional, saying backing them was dangerous. Milwaukee faced Philadelphia with DL Hall starting against Taijuan Walker. Philadelphia was favored at -133. Bryce Harper was listed day-to-day with an elbow contusion. Griffin emphasized Milwaukee’s overreliance on base stealing and bullpen fatigue. Munaf supported Philadelphia, noting their 19-9 home record. The A’s faced the Blue Jays with Jeffrey Springs against Chris Bassett. The Blue Jays, favored at -160, saw Bassett excel at home (1.61 ERA over 28 innings). Springs pitched well but suffered from bullpen collapses. Munaf leaned Blue Jays and under 8.5. For Rockies vs Mets, Peterson faced Freeland with Mets huge -306 favorites. Freeland struggled at Coors but was slightly better on the road. Munaf suggested Mets team total overs while Griffin found no value backing Colorado. In Giants vs Marlins, Harrison faced Quantrill. Griffin noted Quantrill’s recent turnaround (4 wins, 6 ER in May), while Harrison’s pitch limit posed risk. Munaf agreed Miami offered home underdog value. Guardians hosted Angels with Luis Ortiz vs Jose Soriano. Soriano’s control issues were concerning (14 walks in 4 starts). Griffin favored Cleveland’s patient lineup, citing bullpen advantage. Boston played Atlanta with Giolito vs Grant Holmes. Griffin detailed Red Sox clubhouse turmoil and lack of cohesion. Munaf pointed out Giolito’s inconsistency, especially against Atlanta earlier. Both leaned Braves team total over. In Cardinals vs Rangers, Lieberatore likely faced Jack Leiter. The Rangers had gone 24-6 to the under at home. Both hosts strongly supported the under 8.5. For Tigers vs Royals, Casey Mize opposed Seth Lugo. Griffin backed Kansas City due to Mize’s IL return and KC’s home form. Munaf highlighted Lugo’s good career numbers vs Detroit. Tampa Bay visited Houston with Pepiot vs Valdez. Griffin respected Houston’s design against lefties. Munaf leaned under, noting Framber’s 4-1 under record at home and Pepiot’s 3-0 road unders. In Pirates vs Padres, Keller faced Pivetta. Griffin liked first-five unders due to San Diego’s offensive struggles but found little value elsewhere. Munaf noted Keller’s poor past vs Padres. The Nationals faced the Diamondbacks with Irvin vs Kelly. Griffin leaned over given bullpen issues and Arizona’s park. Munaf added Arizona’s historical home unders with Kelly but agreed on D-backs team total over. Seattle hosted Minnesota with Zebby Matthews vs Brian Wu. Wu’s home dominance (12-1) made Seattle a strong pick. Both leaned under 7. Lastly, Yankees faced Dodgers with Max Fried vs Gonsolin. Fried was surprisingly favored at -116. Griffin was shocked Dodgers were home underdogs, citing bullpen risks for New York. Munaf also preferred Dodgers ML and slightly leaned over. For best bets, Griffin chose Phillies ML at -126 while Munaf picked under 8.5 in Cardinals-Rangers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the action at Jack's Place. -Going over top players on odds board -1 matchup -2 p2p -3 outrights (40/1, 75/1, 110/1) -Sleeper, 2 FRP, scoring -Best Bet Will Doctor delivers a focused and stat-driven breakdown of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village, offering sharp PGA betting insights, critiques of tour policies, and precise player analysis. He opens with a recap of Week 21's 10-unit loss, missing on Ben Griffin’s win despite Griffin’s elite short game and putting. Griffin, a two-time winner this season, overcame poor driving stats at Colonial and held off Mati Schmidt and Bud Cawley. Doctor also critiques picks like JT Poston, who faltered due to big numbers, and others like Riley, Højgaard, and Rai, who failed to deliver. Scottie Scheffler is highlighted as a dominant force at Muirfield, with podium finishes in his last three appearances, though Doctor avoids betting him at 3-1 due to putting issues and his third straight week competing. Rory McIlroy receives heavy criticism for skipping his third signature event of the year, including Memorial, without informing host Jack Nicklaus. Doctor dissects the PGA’s approach to field size, arguing it unfairly excludes players like Higgo and Phillips while excessively relying on sponsor exemptions for names like Fowler and Snedeker. Muirfield Village is described as a long and punishing course with narrow fairways and small bentgrass greens that reward elite ball-striking and putting accuracy. Top betting lines are reviewed: Morikawa (16-1) is doubted due to form; Schauffele (18-1) lacks Sunday contention; Justin Thomas (25-1) and Patrick Cantlay (25-1) show concerning stats despite course fits. Doctor recommends a matchup bet of Taylor Pendrith over Davis Thompson, citing Pendrith’s recent T5 and solid form. Key top finishes include Tony Finau Top 20 (+120) and Shane Lowry Top 10 (+250), with Finau’s ball-striking and putting trending positively. Three outright picks are revealed: Lowry (40-1), Novak (75-1), and Bud Cawley (110-1), each supported with course history and recent performance data. Cawley’s comeback from injury and recent top-5 finishes are especially praised. Sleeper pick is Cawley to Top 10 (+550), and First Round Top 10s include Lowry (+275) and Novak (+400). Fantasy lineups include combinations of Scheffler, Lowry, Novak, Fowler, Cawley, and Graceman, with strategy adjusted for DraftKings and PGA Tour.com rules. Doctor projects a winning score of 10-under due to rain-softened conditions in Dublin, Ohio. The final best bet is Novak Top 20 (+175), emphasizing his current form and statistical edge.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA playoff betting. The guys also give out best bets. This episode of RJ Bell’s Dream Preview: NBA Playoff Edition with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers provides an in-depth analysis of two critical NBA playoff matchups: Knicks vs. Pacers Game 4 and Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 5. The conversation opens with a reflection on Game 3, where the Knicks overcame a 20-point deficit to win. This turnaround stemmed from strategic adjustments—starting Mitchell Robinson and bringing Josh Hart off the bench—allowing New York to clamp down on Indiana's offense. Jalen Brunson struggled with foul trouble and inefficiency, contributing just six field goals on 18 attempts and a single assist. Despite his limited impact, the Knicks held Indiana to only 42 second-half points, a stark contrast to the Pacers' usual offensive rhythm. Hart’s late-game rebounds and composure at the free-throw line stood out, and Towns’ fourth-quarter scoring lifted the team to its first win of the series. Mackenzie discussed RJ Bell’s "fourth quarter win share," an advanced stat favoring teams with strong late-game control, suggesting the Knicks had been more dominant across multiple quarters despite their earlier losses. Looking to Game 4, the hosts note the Pacers as 2.5-point home favorites with a 220.5 total. Mackenzie and Munaf favor the Knicks and the under, emphasizing that a defensive-focused Knicks approach correlates strongly with low-scoring games. Brunson's role is expected to shift toward playmaking, reducing his shot volume. His under 29.5 points prop is Mackenzie’s best bet, backed by historical splits where he’s gone under this line 20 times versus 19 overs. Meanwhile, Towns is averaging over 25 points and 11 rebounds per game in the series and is projected to exceed both point and rebound props. Transitioning to the Thunder-Timberwolves series, OKC leads 3-1. Game 3 saw a dominant Timberwolves blowout, but OKC rebounded in Game 4 behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 40-point near triple-double and key support from Jalen Williams and the bench. SGA’s leadership was pivotal—his late-game assists demonstrated poise under pressure. Mackenzie praised SGA’s situational IQ and contrasted it with Anthony Edwards’ passive play. Edwards is averaging only 17 FGA per game, the lowest of his postseason career, and scored just 24 PPG despite efficient shooting. Postgame, he deflected criticism, saying he didn’t struggle because he didn’t take enough shots. Mackenzie critiqued this mindset, calling for Edwards to embrace higher usage when it matters most. With SGA elevating his impact and Edwards retreating, Mackenzie believes the Thunder’s edge in leadership and strategy is decisive. In Game 5, OKC is an 8.5-point favorite. Munaf’s best bet is the Thunder team total over 114.5, citing strong home scoring trends. SGA’s over 6.5 assists is another key angle, supported by three overs in four games and an average of 8.5 APG. The Thunder have shot below their season average from three, suggesting positive regression is likely at home. Mackenzie projects a potential 120–102 OKC win and predicts they’ll close the series. The hosts close with futures discussion, noting the NBA’s growing parity. The Thunder are +225 favorites for next season, while teams like the Knicks, Pacers, Cavs, and Wolves range from 8/1 to 12/1. Mackenzie emphasizes the historical rarity of such dispersed odds beyond the top team. He speculates Giannis may be traded, naming the Knicks and Rockets as possible destinations. He lauds Sam Presti’s roster-building and envisions OKC as a possible dynasty. In conclusion, Munaf and Mackenzie agree the Finals might be lopsided but promise strong betting value through derivatives and props. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner get you set for MLB Tuesday betting. The guys also give out best bets. In the RJ Bell Dream Preview MLB podcast, hosts Munaf Manji and Griffin Werner offer a complete betting breakdown for Tuesday’s MLB slate. The episode begins with lighthearted banter as both hosts recount humorous Memorial Day mishaps, setting the tone for the in-depth analysis to follow. The podcast proceeds through every major game with detailed assessments of pitching matchups, team form, statistical betting trends, and value-based betting recommendations. The first game reviewed is Dodgers at Guardians, where Dustin May’s 0-4 record in road starts is highlighted as a key fade point. Griffin supports a Cleveland lean, and Munaf prefers the game total over due to Tanner Bybee’s possible regression. For Cardinals at Orioles, both express skepticism about Andre Pallante as a road favorite, with Baltimore identified as a live dog given Sugano’s contact-reliant style and Baltimore’s recent bullpen improvement. In Giants at Tigers, Logan Webb’s bounce-back potential is weighed against Detroit’s disciplined offense. Flaherty’s decline and Detroit’s playoff-style play hint at a competitive game. The Braves-Phillies game is a marquee matchup where both hosts land on the Phillies, citing Spencer Strider’s rust following Tommy John surgery and strong home form for Ranger Suarez. This becomes Griffin’s best bet of the show. Next, they evaluate the Twins at Rays. Joe Ryan’s 7-0-2 under trend is pitted against Taj Bradley’s home run issues. Twins team total over and game over are both floated as viable plays. The Mets vs White Sox game is largely dismissed due to Chicago’s poor form and lack of discipline despite Shane Smith’s promising numbers. When analyzing Rockies at Cubs, Griffin equates Colorado to a “bad news bears” team and recommends backing Cubs team total over due to Marquez’s poor road stats. In Blue Jays at Rangers, they highlight Bowden Francis’s struggles and the Rangers’ 22-6 under record at home, aligning both to bet the under confidently. Astros vs Athletics is covered next with JP Sears being unpredictable and Hunter Brown highlighted for his success at home and against Oakland. Munaf supports an Astros run line and game under if the total reaches 8. In Yankees at Angels, Rodon’s improved form is discussed, along with Anderson’s smoke-and-mirrors style that’s worked at home. The price is too steep for the Yankees, so Angels +162 and possibly the over are considered. Pirates at Diamondbacks is where Munaf shares his best bet. He backs Arizona -1.5 based on Corbin Burnes’ recent form and Pittsburgh’s 6-19 road record. For Marlins at Padres, Miami’s last-place scoring in the first five innings and San Diego’s solid bullpen push both hosts toward first-half or full-game unders, or a light parlay with the Padres moneyline. The show concludes with a promo for pregame.com, urging listeners to use the code ERA20 for 20% off betting packages. Both best bets are recapped: Griffin on the Phillies -113 and Munaf on Diamondbacks -1.5.

The Inside Pitch w/Josh Towers: Memorial Day 56:22

56:22

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg break down the MLB slate of games for Memorial Day This special Memorial Day episode of The Inside Pitch features Scott Seidenberg and former MLB pitcher Josh Towers providing a comprehensive breakdown of the upcoming Monday baseball slate. The podcast focuses on travel dynamics, pitcher performances, betting angles, and how team momentum and logistics influence game outcomes. Central to the discussion is the “Sunday Night Fade”—a strategy of betting against teams that play Sunday night games and must travel before playing again on Monday. Scott cites a 6-1 record with this approach, spotlighting the Dodgers’ travel from New York to Cleveland. Josh outlines how travel delays, postgame treatment, and media responsibilities—especially for players like Shohei Otani—can exhaust players, making them vulnerable in early Monday games. Josh and Scott discuss Otani’s homer against Kodai Senga, noting it was the first Senga allowed since Opening Day. They analyze the Dodgers-Guardians matchup: Gavin Williams has a strong home record (3-1, 3.40 ERA), but struggles at night (5.09 ERA), while Yamamoto has a 1.00 ERA overall and has not yet pitched in a day game. Despite Yamamoto’s strength, Josh is cautious, citing fatigue from travel as a factor. In Mets vs. White Sox, the Mets are favored. Hauser is unreliable (5.00 ERA in the minors), and the White Sox are 5-21 on the road. Clay Holmes has been strong for the Mets but is nearing workload limits. The duo leans Mets on the run line. Tarek Skubal’s dominant performance (13 Ks in a 9-inning shutout) leads into Tigers-Giants. Keiter Montero’s poor control (13 BB in 30 IP) makes backing the Giants appealing despite Hayden Birdsong’s inexperience. Red Sox-Brewers is another key game. Boston’s offense has faltered without Bregman, while Crochet has been elite. Chad Patrick has been solid at home. Josh and Scott prefer a first-five under wager, given offensive struggles. Cubs vs. Rockies is heavily skewed toward the Cubs, with Palmquist’s disastrous starts (9 ER in 8 IP, 7 BB) making a run-line play likely. Eric Fedde (Cardinals) is steady, while Charlie Morton (Orioles) has had a volatile season. Despite recent rebound, Morton’s early performances were poor, and the line favoring Baltimore is puzzling. In Rangers vs. Blue Jays, both deGrom and Gausman are top-tier arms. Toronto has scored just two runs in three games, and Texas’ offense is struggling. Josh and Scott prefer the under, particularly a no-run first inning (Nerf-y) play. Royals vs. Reds also presents a Nerf-y opportunity: Lorenzen is 10-0 to the Nerf-y, and Chris Booback has a 1.45 ERA with 70 Ks in 68 innings. In Rays vs. Twins, Josh praises Tampa’s momentum, especially with lineup depth like Chandler Simpson batting seventh. Paddock’s 5.19 road ERA and vulnerability in early innings make Tampa appealing. However, Scott warns of fading the Rays later due to a back-loaded road-heavy schedule. Pirates-Diamondbacks features Heaney (8-2 Nerf-y) vs. Ryan Nelson, whose inconsistency and starter-reliever toggling limit trust. Another Nerf-y opportunity is noted. Padres-Marlins showcases Vasquez’s steady performances against Weathers, who’s shown flashes but is prone to walks and home runs. Yankees vs. Angels sees Yarbrough returning to form, while Kocanowicz has erratic command (20+ walks in 5 starts). Josh recommends betting Yankees and possibly on Kocanowicz’s walk prop. The discussion shifts to the mound in Sacramento. Zach Wheeler complained about mound hardness affecting pitch delivery. Scott theorizes high elevation in pitches might stem from poor footing. Josh stresses that pros must adjust, though he criticizes coaches like Minnesota’s, who lack firsthand pitching experience and can't offer adjustment strategies. The show ends with a promo code "DAY20" for 20% off at pregame.com and a reminder to enjoy the holiday with plenty of daytime baseball and solid betting opportunities.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday and this weekend. The guys cover the entire card and give out best bets. The MLB Friday betting podcast hosted by Manaf Manji and Griffin Warner covered an extensive analysis of all 16 matchups. Manaf opened by highlighting the full Friday slate, including a doubleheader between the Orioles and Red Sox. Griffin immediately addressed frustrations with umpiring and pitch clock enforcement, using Yoán Moncada’s controversial strikeout as an example. For Game 1 of the doubleheader, Povich (Orioles) and Baio (Red Sox) were both criticized, with both hosts favoring the over due to poor pitching. Povich's 5.28 ERA vs. Boston and Baio’s recent seven-run outing made betting the over a logical play. In Cubs vs. Reds, Griffin noted Hunter Greene’s return from injury as a risk, while Manaf praised Boyd’s consistency and strikeouts, leaning toward the Cubs. Brewers vs. Pirates saw Freddie Peralta favored despite Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes’ talent, due to a lack of run support. Both suggested under 7 as a good play. For Giants vs. Nationals, McKenzie Gore’s strikeout success and the Giants’ bullpen issues led to a lean toward the Nationals, especially in the first five innings. Blue Jays vs. Rays featured skepticism toward both bullpens. Despite Rasmussen’s 3.00 ERA vs. Toronto, his 1-4 record and poor run support made the Jays an attractive underdog. Dodgers vs. Mets focused on Clayton Kershaw’s weak return and Canning’s strong 5-1 record with a 2.47 ERA. The Mets, 8-1 in Canning’s starts, were backed heavily. In Guardians vs. Tigers, Jackson Jobe’s 4-0 record and Detroit’s 8-0 team mark in his starts made them the clear pick. Pablo Lopez vs. Royals saw under 7.5 suggested, with Lopez’s home starts hitting the over but mainly due to weak opponents. In Braves vs. Padres, Chris Sale’s 15-2 home mark with Atlanta was compelling, but concerns over the Padres’ offensive slump and pitching made Griffin hesitant. The Rangers, with a 35-15-1 under record and the worst AL offense, were labeled an overvalued -180 favorite vs. the White Sox. Burke’s wildness (13 walks in 3 starts) and Texas’ high swing rate set up a potential upset. Mariners vs. Astros examined Emerson Hancock’s inconsistency and the Astros' injury woes. Both leaned Mariners at plus money. Phillies vs. A’s spotlighted Sacramento's hitter-friendly park. Despite Wheeler’s average road form, Philadelphia’s offense was favored to overwhelm. Yankees vs. Rockies centered on the 12.5 total at Coors, suggesting Yankees’ team total overs. Marlins vs. Angels featured heavy criticism of Sandy Alcantara’s 7.99 ERA. Kikuchi, despite inconsistencies, was backed due to the Angels’ offensive momentum. Cardinals were recommended over Arizona due to Gallen’s 5.14 ERA and recent struggles, while Mikolas had been reliable. For best bets, Griffin took the Angels at -143, fading Alcantara. Manaf backed the Mets over Kershaw, citing Canning’s stellar form and New York’s offensive edge.

Dream Podcast - Epic Knicks Collapse + NFL Hard Knocks & Best Bets !! 1:49:19

vor 22 Tagen1:49:19

1:49:19

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk all things NBA playoffs. Plus, the guys discuss NFL Hard Knocks and give out best bets. In this podcast episode, RJ Bell and his expert panel analyze a historic NBA playoff collapse, strategic betting angles, and key NFL developments. The episode opens with a promotion for discounted picks at pregame.com, spotlighting successful handicappers like Dave Esler and Greg Shaker. The heart of the episode is the New York Knicks' unprecedented collapse against the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Scott Seidenberg recounts how the Knicks lost a 14-point lead in the final 2:45, with the Pacers scoring 23 points in 3:14—an NBA playoff record since 1997. Aaron Neesmith’s six 3-pointers in the fourth quarter were the most in any playoff fourth quarter since 1997–98. The panel discusses the psychological and statistical impacts of this loss, with RJ questioning how such a collapse may affect the Knicks' mindset for the rest of the series. McKenzie Rivers and Steve Fezzik explore the zigzag theory in betting, revealing that Game 2's line moved from Knicks -4.5 to -6, despite the traumatic nature of Game 1’s finish. Statistical trends support a potential Knicks bounce back: favorites after a Game 1 loss are 59% ATS since 2002, particularly dominant in first quarters. However, McKenzie notes this edge vanishes when teams are closely seeded. Despite the market showing confidence in New York, concerns linger over their seven-man rotation, fatigue after an overtime loss, and historical playoff struggles. RJ emphasizes the Knicks' tendency to crumble under high expectations, comparing this year to the pressure-filled 1994 and 1999 Knicks teams. Attention then shifts to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1. Anthony Edwards was held to 18 points and scoreless in the fourth quarter. The panel credits OKC’s elite perimeter defense and deep roster. McKenzie highlights OKC's transition from regular-season darlings to playoff powerhouses, noting they lead the league in turnovers forced and have the lowest turnovers committed. Betting markets reflected OKC’s strength; post-Game 1, their series odds jumped from -330 to -675, reflecting a 1–1.5 point market upgrade. In NFL coverage, the panel discusses two major Hard Knocks announcements: the Buffalo Bills will be featured in training camp, while the NFC East will be showcased during the regular season. They also debate the NFL’s decision to retain the “tush push” after the Packers' failed attempt to ban it, with Fezzik estimating the Eagles would’ve been downgraded by half a point without it. Jalen Hurts’ rushing TD prop even increased from 9.5 to 10.5 after the rule's preservation. The episode concludes with betting strategies across sports. RJ and Fezzik analyze the Rockies’ historically bad MLB season, advocating for under 40 wins. They highlight Colorado's -160 run differential just a third into the season—on pace to break modern records. Additionally, they discuss the Tampa Bay Rays’ skewed home-heavy schedule, recommending an under 77.5 wins bet as they face 59 road games in their final 97. The podcast closes with RJ teasing advanced NFL projection models and a “five-pack” of early NFL bets for next week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

The Inside Pitch w/Josh Towers: Ep 8 1:07:14

1:07:14

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg discuss the latest around Major League Baseball. Juan Soto's struggles, the Dodgers slump and futures bets to make right now! In this episode, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers dissect a range of MLB storylines, with a heavy focus on Juan Soto’s troubled transition to the Mets. Soto’s recent on-field behavior—particularly his lack of hustle on a hit off the Green Monster and only securing one hit across three games against the Yankees—sparked criticism. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced plans to speak with Soto about his effort. Towers emphasized how professional athletes are expected to hustle regardless of performance, especially when part of a new organization. He critiqued Soto’s declining stats (.246 average in 2025, subpar defense) and called out the media narrative that built him up unrealistically since his 2020 breakout. He believes the $765 million valuation raised unsustainable expectations. Michael Kay, based on conversations with Mets and Yankees insiders, claimed Soto appears “glum” and without joy. Soto reportedly preferred to remain a Yankee, but his family urged him to accept the Mets' offer. Towers, who played for both franchises, praised the Yankees for their professionalism and structure, saying it fosters respect and accountability. In contrast, he noted that the Mets, while improving, still lack the Yankees’ foundational stability. Scott and Josh then evaluated the NL East race. Seidenberg endorsed betting on the Phillies to win the division at +130, noting their strong veteran core (Harper, Schwarber, Wheeler) and manager Dave Dombrowski’s history of bold moves. Josh echoed this but pointed out the Phillies’ need for young talent infusion, something they’ve lacked in recent years. They also discussed the Braves’ resurgence, who started 0-8 but have since gone 24-15, with key players like Max Fried returning. Shifting to the Dodgers, both hosts criticized Dave Roberts’ pitching management. The team’s constant injuries and overuse of bullpen arms have led to four consecutive home losses. Towers questioned the effectiveness of the organization’s throwing programs and training strategies. Despite Yamamoto’s reliability, the rest of the rotation, including Snell, Glasnow, and Kershaw, remains inconsistent or injured. Fried’s Cy Young candidacy was explored in depth. With a 1.29 ERA and consistent dominance, Josh called him the clear front-runner. Other contenders like Robbie Ray, Hunter Brown, and Chris Bubik were noted, though Fried’s consistency set him apart. On the offensive side, Pete Crow Armstrong's recent surge sparked MVP speculation, but Josh dismissed it due to his relatively weak OBP and limited consistency. Attention turned to the Texas Rangers, whose rotation (deGrom, Eovaldi, Mowley) and improving offense make them serious contenders. The coaching shift toward personalized, non-analytic-heavy hitting plans has improved their situational batting. They also discussed trade rumors including Bo Bichette, Kenley Jansen, and Sandy Alcantara potentially moving before the deadline. The Orioles and Rockies came under fire for poor development. The Rockies’ minus-150 run differential led Scott to predict they might break the all-time worst record. Josh argued that both teams lack direction and accountability, especially with player growth and clubhouse culture. Lastly, home field advantage in 2025 has reached historic levels, with home teams winning 56.5% of games, the best rate since 2005. Betting trends show high returns for home favorites, and Seidenberg emphasized this is a year to follow such patterns. The hosts closed with MVP and Cy Young betting odds, a promo for Pregame.com, and a final note on the season’s unpredictability and remaining opportunities. Learn more about your ad choices.

-PGA Championship review -Discussing Colonial -Talking top 7 on odds board -1 t10, 1 t20 -2 outrights (+250, 45/1) -Sleeper -2 FRP, 2 lineups, Scoring, best bet -Soudal outright & t10 The podcast, hosted by Will Doctor, offers a comprehensive preview of the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club and touches on the Soudal Open. Doctor begins with praise for world number one Scottie Scheffler, forecasting his victory at Colonial and noting his dominant Texas swing. Scheffler’s recent win at the PGA Championship marked his 15th PGA Tour title before age 29, aligning him with legends like Nicklaus and Woods. Doctor outlines Scheffler’s stats from the event, highlighting his final round resilience, including an eagle on 14, critical birdies on 14 and 15, and solid putting after initial struggles. Randy Smith, Scheffler’s coach, described this performance as possibly the most rewarding round Scheffler has played. Doctor critiques his own PGA Championship betting card, noting it only yielded a half-unit gain despite hits on Scheffler (+550) and DeChambeau (Top 10). He reflects on losses from backing McIlroy, Thomas, and Im, delving into McIlroy’s inaccuracy off the tee, failed iron play, and silence following a USGA equipment test that deemed his driver nonconforming. Justin Thomas’s underperformance is attributed to poor ball striking, while Jon Rahm’s fade despite elite ball striking was due to putting failures. The host shifts to Colonial course analysis, highlighting a $25 million renovation aimed at restoring Perry Maxwell’s original design. Though some greens now appear less aesthetic, the redesign added hydronic systems to preserve bentgrass surfaces. Doctor stresses the importance of accuracy and iron sharpness over distance, favoring creative shot-shapers and bentgrass specialists. Scheffler is his top pick again at +250, citing his exceptional iron play and previous Colonial results. Daniel Berger, though strong with irons recently, is dismissed due to weak putting on bentgrass. Fleetwood, Spieth, Matsuyama, and McNeely are similarly passed over due to poor form or course misfit. Two featured picks to place are Davis Riley (Top 10 at +350), praised for improved driving and short game despite iron inconsistencies, and Aaron Rai (Top 20 at +130), celebrated for precision and bentgrass putting. Doctor’s outright longshot is JT Poston (45-1), noted for consistent driving, improving irons, and elite putting, making him an ideal Scheffler challenger. The sleeper pick is Thor Bjorn Olsen to Top 10 at 6-1, based on positive recent form and favorable putting surface. First-round bets include Scheffler (Top 10 at even) and Harry Hall (Top 10 at 5-1), with Hall’s strong putting and improved iron play highlighted. Two fantasy lineups are shared. The DraftKings lineup features Poston, Rai, Riley, Hall, Olsen, and David Ford—a top-ranked amateur with Colonial experience. The PGA Tour fantasy team mirrors this with Ford and Olsen benched. Doctor forecasts a 12-under winning score and pegs Poston (Top 10 at 3-1) as the best bet. For the Soudal Open, Thomas Pieters is tipped to win at 22-1 and to Top 10 at +225. Doctor notes Pieters’ revived iron play and strong finishes in past editions of the home event. The episode concludes with a promo code and a sign-off promising updates from the next major venue.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets. The "MLB Tuesday Preview + Best Bets" episode hosted by Munaf Manji with guest Griffin Warner offers a detailed, game-by-game analysis of the MLB slate. Munaf opens by mentioning the excitement surrounding the weekend's games and Juan Soto's return to the Bronx. Griffin begins with the Orioles' implosion, losing despite a 14-3 hit advantage, leading to their manager’s firing. He criticizes their underperforming stars like Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman, failed pitching replacements, and Kyle Gibson’s poor debut followed by being designated for assignment. Griffin speculates that Brandon Hyde’s dismissal, despite being 2023’s Manager of the Year, stems from high preseason expectations. Munaf admits he underestimated how poorly the Orioles were performing. They highlight the Cubs vs. Marlins matchup with Jameson Taillon vs. Ryan Weathers. Taillon is untrustworthy as a favorite, while Weathers has promise but is fresh off the IL. Munaf leans on the Cubs' offense, skeptical of Taillon’s price. Next, they analyze Reds vs. Pirates. Despite interest in backing Bailey Falter, Griffin is deterred by Pittsburgh’s scoring drought—failing to surpass 3 runs in 23 straight games. Nick Martinez has been consistent, while Falter has struggled historically against the Reds. Both lean toward the under 8.5. In the Rangers vs. Yankees game, they discuss Patrick Corbin’s surprising stability—holding teams to three or fewer earned runs in all starts this season—and Will Warren’s solid form. Though historically bad, Corbin’s early-season stats make him a tempting underdog. Munaf supports backing Corbin, noting his past success in Yankee Stadium. They discuss Twins vs. Guardians next, where both support Minnesota. Chris Paddock has rebounded after early struggles, while Gavin Williams hasn’t found a reliable swing-and-miss pitch. The Twins’ recent 13-game win streak reinforces their pick. The Cardinals vs. Tigers match sees both siding with St. Louis for value. Although Detroit's Skubal is a top Cy Young contender, the Cardinals have been on a hot streak. Eric Fedde, typically inconsistent, has posted strong recent starts. Phillies vs. Rockies analysis is brief—Philadelphia should dominate, especially with Sensatela's 6.39 ERA and 1–7 record. Munaf and Griffin agree on Phillies run line and team total over. In Mets vs. Red Sox, Walker Buehler’s IL return raises concerns, and Clay Holmes lacks long-term reliability. Both expect high scoring and back the Mets team total over. Royals vs. Giants features Birdsong’s first start for SF. With Kansas City’s weak offense and San Francisco's cold bats, both prefer under 8. Angels vs. A’s is expected to be a slugfest. Kyle Hendricks and Gunnar Hoglund both provide fade-worthy profiles. They predict double-digit scoring, with Munaf backing the over as his best bet. In Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers, Yamamoto is solid, but Ryan Nelson’s fastball-heavy approach is predictable. Dodgers’ depth and Arizona’s weak bullpen suggest the Dodgers team total over is viable. They close with a quick mention of Braves vs. Nationals, likely featuring Spencer Strider off the IL. Griffin’s best bet is Twins -108, trusting Paddock’s resurgence and the team's momentum. Munaf selects the Angels-A’s over 10 due to suspect pitching and a hitter-friendly park in West Sacramento.

NBA Conference Finals Preview + Best Bets 48:21

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA Conference Finals betting. The guys also give out best bets. This episode of RJ Bell’s Dream Preview features hosts Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers analyzing the 2024 NBA Conference Finals based on recent Game 7 outcomes, team trends, player performances, and betting odds. Munaf introduces the matchups, focusing on the Oklahoma City Thunder’s dominant 125–93 victory over the Denver Nuggets. SGA led with 35 points, while Jalen Williams added 24. The Thunder’s defense clamped down after the first quarter, and the game became one-sided by halftime. Mackenzie emphasized that this was one of the most lopsided Game 7s in NBA history and criticized analysts for underestimating OKC. SGA’s playoff run is highlighted as historically elite. Mackenzie cites stats placing SGA alongside Jordan and LeBron in terms of efficiency and playoff production, calling him the true standout of this postseason. He also criticizes NBA media for not giving SGA due credit and believes the Thunder are significantly undervalued by betting markets. The hosts favor OKC in their series against the Timberwolves, recommending bets on Thunder -1.5 games (-140). They argue Minnesota’s playoff path has been easier and note that OKC’s defense, including players like Caruso, Dort, and Jalen Williams, is particularly effective against stars like Anthony Edwards. The conversation pivots to props, with Mackenzie suggesting Anthony Edwards under 26.5 points and Munaf recommending pivoting to Edwards’ assists over 4.5, given his distribution role when facing pressure defenses. Attention then shifts to the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and Pacers. The Knicks are favored (-145), and Mackenzie recalls that last year’s series loss came without key players like Mitchell Robinson, who is now healthy and central to their defense. Both hosts agree the Knicks are deeper and more playoff-ready, especially with Jalen Brunson averaging nearly 30 PPG against Indiana and Karl-Anthony Towns showing breakout potential. They support a Knicks Game 1 -4 bet and consider Towns (13-1) a value pick for East Finals MVP. For Game 1 of Thunder-Timberwolves, Munaf’s best bet is the under (215.5), supported by OKC’s playoff pace trends and Minnesota’s preference for slower half-court sets. Mackenzie agrees, noting the Thunder's short rest and defensive versatility. The episode concludes with a recap of best bets, a promo code (RIM10), and brief updates on MLB and NFL betting.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB Friday from a betting perspective. best bets as always. Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner hosted the MLB podcast focusing on Friday's games. They began by reflecting on their recent 2-0 best bets streak, expressing confidence heading into the weekend. The first highlighted game was the Chicago rivalry at Wrigley Field, where Shane Smith starts for the struggling White Sox against Cade Horton of the Cubs. Griffin noted Horton's limited pitch mix might still overpower the weak Sox lineup. Munaf emphasized the Cubs' rest advantage and the Sox's fatigue after a loss in Cincinnati. Next, the Guardians face the Reds in the "Battle of Ohio." Griffin was cautious about Tanner Bybee as a road favorite, pointing out the hitter-friendly park and Brady Singer's vulnerability to home runs. Munaf countered, citing Bybee's strong recent performances, including seven innings against the Phillies, making him lean toward the Guardians' money line. In Philadelphia, Andrew Haney's inconsistency was likened to an unpredictable night out, while Ranger Suarez's solid home record made the Phillies a favored pick, especially on the run line, with Munaf highlighting Haney's poor career numbers against the Phillies. For the Mets vs Yankees, Griffin leaned toward the Mets due to their bullpen strength and skepticism of the Yankees' offense, while Munaf preferred betting the over, expecting home runs from both sides at Yankee Stadium. Griffin selected the Orioles over the Nationals as his best bet, trusting Baltimore's bullpen despite their shaky start to the season. Munaf agreed, noting Cade Povich's prior success against the Nationals. In Toronto, Griffin doubted the Tigers' offense despite their strong start, while Munaf leaned under 8.5, noting Flaherty’s rough patch and Francis's vulnerability. In the Braves vs Red Sox matchup, Griffin was hesitant to back Chris Sale and wary of the Braves' underperformance. Munaf praised Crochet's early season form and leaned towards under eight, expecting a pitching duel. Regarding the Astros vs Rangers, both analysts favored the Rangers due to Ivaldi’s dominance and McCullers Jr.'s limited pitch count. Munaf stressed the under, given the Astros' offensive struggles and Rangers' home under trends. In Milwaukee, Griffin was cautious about backing the Brewers despite Chad Patrick’s solid form, while Munaf pointed out the absence of Buxton and Correa for the Twins, making the under eight a strong play. For the late games, they mocked the Rockies' dire situation in Arizona, where Corbin Burns' Diamondbacks were massive favorites. Munaf joked about backing the D-Backs team total overs. In San Diego, Munaf leaned over eight and a half in the Mariners vs Padres game, noting Koenig’s regression potential after his shutout of the Rockies. Griffin, however, was hesitant. The Dodgers vs Angels featured Dustin May against Jack Kahanowitz. Both hosts dismissed the Angels’ chances, advising bettors to focus on Dodgers team totals. In the Giants vs A’s game, Griffin acknowledged JP Sears' surprising stability but warned about his fly-ball tendencies in San Francisco's pitcher-friendly park. Munaf favored Logan Webb’s strong home splits and suggested a Giants win by multiple runs. Finally, the best bets were set: Griffin chose Orioles ML at -108, citing bullpen strength and home field, while Munaf selected Phillies -1.5 at -108, pointing to Suarez's home form and Haney’s frailties. Throughout the podcast, both hosts balanced data and playful commentary, giving special attention to pitching matchups, team fatigue, and offensive inconsistencies, emphasizing the significance of situational factors like park dimensions and team travel schedules.

Fezzik (4:47-5:57) introduced the critical Week 18 schedule impact, noting six teams—Jets, Washington, Vegas, Pittsburgh, Carolina, Indy—may face weakened division leaders, offering betting value.

Scott Seidenberg (7:26-8:24) declared Kansas City’s schedule as brutal, starting in Brazil, facing the Eagles, and enduring short-week matchups against Buffalo and Baltimore. RJ (8:24-13:19) added context about KC’s fatigue from years of dense scheduling and pointed to their 11th hardest schedule overall. Fezzik (13:20-14:32) explained that by Robbie Greer’s method, the Giants had the hardest (+1.6 per game) and the 49ers the easiest (-1.4). Fezzik (16:48-20:05) outlined a strategy of betting unders on NFC teams, due to their road-heavy schedules.

Scott (1:25:32-1:26:07) advised splitting bets on Broncos and Chargers to fade the Chiefs in AFC West. Mackenzie (1:40:21-1:41:31) warned of increased NBA playoff injuries, stating all-star absences are five times higher than 20 years ago.

107th PGA Championship Picks and Predictions 56:12

vor 30 Tagen56:12

56:12

-Discussing top 7 on odds board at Quail Hollow -1 matchup -2 picks to place -2 outrights added to 2 futures on card -Sleeper, 2 lineups, scoring, best bet Will Doctor, host of the Golf Preview Podcast, provided a comprehensive breakdown of the 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, North Carolina. The event features 156 players, and the course—known for hosting the Wells Fargo Championship—is now set for its second PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy, with four wins at Quail Hollow and four victories in his last ten starts, is co-favorite at +550 alongside world number one Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy, though powerful off the tee averaging 324 yards at Philly Cricket, only hit 40% of fairways, presenting accuracy concerns. Scheffler, coming off an eight-shot victory at the Nelson, has shown flawless iron play and putting, despite never playing Quail Hollow professionally. Will Doctor endorsed Scheffler as his primary pick at +550. Justin Thomas, fourth favorite at 22-1, has been exceptional lately with two runner-ups and a win in his last four starts. His strong course history at Quail Hollow, including a 2017 PGA win, positions him as a top contender. Bryson DeChambeau, at +950, recently won at Live Korea, praised for his elite driving and improving short game, though his iron play remains a question. Doctor recommends DeChambeau for a Top 10 finish at +110 but avoids an outright pick. Sepp Straka's victory at Philly Cricket was highlighted by his 60% fairway rate, over 3.5 strokes gained on approach, and best-in-field putting performance. Shane Lowry led the field in approach but faltered with the putter, notably a costly three-putt on the 72nd hole, continuing his winless streak since 2022. Will Doctor criticized his own picks from the previous event, noting none contended, with Spieth finishing T34, Stevens T23, and Dorby Olson T54. His picks to place last week salvaged some units, including Patrick Cantlay and Tommy Fleetwood, both closing with 65s, and Andrew Novak with a final round 64 for T17. Quail Hollow, expected to play at 7,600 yards, faces wet conditions from early-week rains, likely favoring bombers and elite chippers, though greens will remain firm due to sub-air systems. The betting focus includes Justin Thomas over Jon Rahm at +117, McIlroy to Top 5 at even money, and Bryson DeChambeau to Top 10 at +110. Futures on Tyrell Hatton and Sung Jae Im have lost value, with both needing career weeks to contend, particularly Im, whose iron play has struggled all year. The DraftKings lineup features DeChambeau, Thomas, Matsuyama, Novak, Mitchell, and Norgaard, while the PGA.com lineup includes Scheffler (captain), DeChambeau, Thomas, McIlroy, with Mitchell and Novak on the bench. Keith Mitchell, known for his fast starts but inability to maintain over four rounds, is backed to Top 20 at 3-1. Doctor expects the winning score at 14 under, higher than the 8 under posted by Thomas in 2017 due to softer conditions. His best bet is DeChambeau to Top 10 at +110. He criticized the Live schedule's poor major prep, arguing it hampers players like Rahm more than DeChambeau. Finally, he acknowledged the rain's impact would likely limit firmness to Saturday only, favoring players with distance, elite iron play, and strong short games.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets. he MLB Tuesday Preview & Best Bets podcast hosted by Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner delivers a game-by-game analysis of the 13 MLB matchups scheduled for Tuesday. The show opens with some light NBA draft lottery banter, but the bulk of the discussion is tightly focused on baseball betting strategies, player performance, and team trends, all based on currently available betting lines. In the Brewers versus Guardians game, both hosts express doubts over Quinn Priester's reliability as the Brewers have lost four straight games he's started, providing him minimal run support. Logan Allen's control issues are acknowledged, but the Guardians are still preferred as a slight home favorite. The Twins against the Orioles matchup sees both hosts backing the Twins, riding their eight-game win streak and taking advantage of Kade Povich’s continued struggles, especially at home. Munaf suggests taking the Twins team total over due to their potent offense. For the White Sox and Reds, Griffin leans toward the Reds’ offense prevailing, noting the White Sox’s dreadful 3-17 road record. Abbott’s limited innings aren't seen as problematic due to the White Sox’s overall weaknesses. In the Cardinals and Phillies clash, Sonny Gray’s consistency and St. Louis’ bullpen strength make them an appealing underdog, with both hosts preferring an under if the total reaches eight. The Rays versus Blue Jays game highlights the collapse of Tampa Bay's pitching, with Shane Boz’s recent blowups making the Blue Jays the favored side, especially with Jose Berrios pitching steadily at home. In the Pirates versus Mets game, both see little hope for the Pirates despite a recent managerial change, with Munaf favoring the Mets run line and team total over, given Kodai Senga’s strong stats. For Nationals versus Braves, the consensus is Braves team total over, citing Soroka's vulnerability and the Braves’ offensive firepower, though bullpen concerns persist. The Marlins against Cubs matchup leans strongly toward the Cubs, with their superior offense and Ben Brown’s solid form giving them a significant edge. The Rockies versus Rangers game reflects both hosts' disdain for the Rockies' 2-17 road record, suggesting Rangers -1.5 and under 8.5 as the play, with the Arlington ballpark playing pitcher-friendly. Royals versus Astros is a more cautious game, with both acknowledging Michael Wacha's solid form and Framber Valdez’s unpredictability when a favorite, but Munaf leans Astros at -140. The Angels versus Padres game is flagged as a potential upset, with Dylan Cease expected to regress after his long no-hit bid. Both hosts side with the Angels due to the risky price on the Padres. In the Yankees versus Mariners showdown, Griffin emphasizes Brian Wu’s 11-1 home record and favors Mariners as a home underdog while also suggesting the under, citing the ballpark's suppression of runs. Finally, the Diamondbacks versus Giants game is strongly supported by both as a Giants money line play, highlighting Robbie Ray's perfect 8-0 start record for the Giants. Brentt Fott’s last strong outing against the Dodgers is considered unsustainable in the pitcher-friendly Oracle Park, especially given the Giants’ ability to win division games at home. Best bets for the day are Griffin’s pick of Guardians ML at -120 and Munaf’s pick of Giants ML at -105. The overall tone reflects skepticism toward big favorites, leaning instead on undervalued home underdogs and carefully selected unders in specific matchups, especially where bullpen and venue factors suppress offense.
