RJ Bell's Dream Preview

On the April 18, 2025 episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview MLB podcast, Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner provided in-depth analysis of the Friday baseball slate with betting insights. Munaf opened by highlighting his 5-1 betting record and credited their collaborative discussions for the success. The first matchup covered was Diamondbacks vs. Cubs (0:10–7:40). Corbin Burnes has struggled early, while Cubs starter Colin Rea provides potential value. Chicago leads MLB in runners in scoring position appearances and has scored 124 runs to Arizona's 104. The Cubs as home underdogs and a lean to the over were discussed, depending on Wrigley Field wind. In Royals vs. Tigers (7:41–11:34), Cole Ragans faces top prospect Jackson Jobe. Kansas City's offense has produced just 19 runs over its last 10 games and is 2-8 on the road. The Tigers' bullpen is strong, and both hosts leaned toward Detroit plus money and under 7.5. Guardians vs. Pirates (11:35–15:11) features Luis Ortiz against Carmen Mlodzinski. Mlodzinski has a 1.77 WHIP with command issues. The Guardians were favored due to bullpen depth. Pittsburgh is 6-4 at home and to the over. There was a slight lean to Cleveland and possibly over 8.5. In Marlins vs. Phillies (15:12–19:08), Sandy Alcantara is no longer dominant, while Zack Wheeler boasts an 11-4 record and 2.73 ERA against Miami. Philadelphia is 24-11 in Wheeler's home starts since 2023. The Phillies were a strong lean, especially on the run line. Yankees vs. Rays (19:49–25:11) featured Carlos Rodón, who has allowed 4+ earned runs and 3+ walks in three straight starts. Drew Rasmussen has not allowed a run in 21 career innings vs. the Yankees. Munaf's best bet was Rays first five innings at -110. In Reds vs. Orioles (25:12–28:31), Andrew Abbott faces Cade Povich. While Abbott had a solid outing against Pittsburgh, Baltimore's offense poses more danger. The Orioles were favored and offensive production expected. Mariners vs. Blue Jays (28:31–31:40) has Bryan Woo, who has struggled away from home, against Bowden Francis. Toronto is 7-3 at home and the over 7.5 was considered. Cardinals vs. Mets (31:42–35:05) pits Miles Mikolas against David Peterson. St. Louis is 1-6 on the road and lacks comeback potential. The Mets were the lean, especially on the run line. Griffin's best bet was Braves -130 vs. Twins (35:06–38:12). Chris Paddack has lost all three starts by 2+ runs and Bryce Elder is trying to earn a rotation spot. In Red Sox vs. White Sox (38:13–41:46), Martín Pérez is a steady innings-eater. Boston has a negative run differential and both hosts were reluctant to back them as heavy favorites. Dodgers vs. Rangers (41:46–45:55) features Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has a 0.91 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 22 innings, against Jacob deGrom, who's allowed multiple home runs in consecutive starts. The Dodgers were favored early. In Astros vs. Padres (52:32–56:54), Kyle Hart rebounded after a poor debut, while Houston's Ryan Gusto is unproven. The Padres are 15-4, and with Houston's bullpen issues, San Diego at +123 was the consensus lean. Brewers vs. A's (56:55–1:01:02) has Freddy Peralta allowing six earned runs over 23.1 innings. Milwaukee is 43-27 at home in his starts since 2018. Nationals vs. Rockies (1:01:11–1:04:14) features cold Denver weather and a low total of nine. MacKenzie Gore's road struggles were noted, but Washington was the slight lean. Giants vs. Angels (1:04:14–1:07:43) featured Logan Webb's consistency against Tyler Anderson. San Francisco is 9-4 on the road with eight wins by 2+ runs. Munaf leaned Giants run line. The episode ended with a promo for Pregame's $1,000 MLB contest and 20 percent discount code HOMERUN20.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA playoff betting for the firs round. The guys break down each series and give out predictions and best bets. In the “NBA Playoffs 1st Round Preview + Best Bets” podcast, Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers deliver a detailed analysis of six confirmed playoff matchups. Starting with Bucks vs. Pacers, they highlight Damian Lillard's Game 1 absence and potential Game 3 return. Despite Indiana's strong finish and better trendline, both lean Milwaukee in six games, citing Giannis' dominance, Halliburton's road struggles, and playoff pedigree. Munaf mentions Doc Rivers' questionable playoff history and the Bucks' edge in rebounding and roster depth. Next, Knicks vs. Pistons shows New York as a clear -400 favorite. Mackenzie highlights Detroit's weak half-court offense and inexperience. They agree Jalen Brunson is the best player in the series and pick Knicks in five, suggesting -2.5 games as a value bet. For Celtics vs. Magic, Boston is a -5000 favorite. Mackenzie acknowledges Orlando's improvement to 17th in offense post-All-Star despite losing Jalen Suggs but criticizes their three-point shooting and sees Game 1 as a blowout. Munaf agrees, pointing to Boston's depth and perimeter strength. They recommend a Magic team total under and predict a sweep or five-game series. Clippers vs. Nuggets is the tightest series, priced at -110 each. Mackenzie is hesitant to trust Kawhi Leonard's health but notes the Clippers were strong late season. He values Denver's playoff-tested core of Jokic, Murray, and Porter Jr., even with coaching changes. Munaf favors the Clippers in seven games, citing Ty Lue's ability to adjust and Harden's solid season. Both suggest betting the series after Game 1, with Denver favored by 2.5. In Lakers vs. Timberwolves, Munaf backs the Lakers based on star power and playoff history. Mackenzie points out their mediocre net rating and questions public overconfidence. He critiques Julius Randle's poor playoff stats and remains skeptical of Minnesota's secondary scoring. While Mackenzie sees potential in the Timberwolves, he passes on betting them now. Munaf lays the four points with the Lakers, expecting a statement in Game 1. In Rockets vs. Warriors, the hosts praise Houston's growth but highlight their lack of playoff experience. Mackenzie notes Golden State's poor half-court offense but trusts Curry and Green's pedigree. Munaf calls it a development year for Houston and picks Warriors in six. They mention the low total for Game 1 and expect another under, given both teams' tendencies. Mackenzie's best bets are Knicks -7 and Trae Young under 26.5 points vs. Miami, based on historical defensive matchups. Munaf echoes the Knicks pick and supports Lakers -4, banking on home energy and playoff urgency. For Heat vs. Hawks, Munaf leans over on Miami's team total, while Mackenzie prefers fading Trae Young. They note past eighth-seed play-in games are 6-1 to the under. For Mavericks vs. Grizzlies, Munaf leans under and highlights Dallas' defense, while Mackenzie passes on a side but acknowledges Memphis' volatility. Both hosts ground their takes in net rating, recent trends, EPM data, and postseason form. They avoid hyperbole, focusing on betting value, historical angles, and matchup dynamics, giving listeners a sharp and disciplined first-round betting guide. Learn more about your ad choices.

Will Doctor reviews all 95 players at Augusta en route to finalizing card for the 89th playing of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. -Reviewing 4 futures outright tickets -Reviewing 3 picks to win any major in 2025 -Going through all 95 players in the Masters Tournament -Adding 1 outright -1 t20, 1 t30 -2 bets "to make the cut" -1 bet "to miss the cut" -4 72-hole matchups -1 first round matchup -3 round 1 three ball matchups -1 t10 after R1 including an 8.2-unit loss at the Valero Texas Open and a failed 9-1 futures ticket on the Houston Cougars in NCAA basketball. He stresses the importance of reviewing picks, especially amid a losing streak, and outlines the four Masters futures he carries from December: Scottie Scheffler (7-1), Ludwig Aberg (14-1), Sung Jae Im (50-1), and Sepp Straka (100-1), with three additional tickets on Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim, and Davis Thompson to win any major. Scottie Scheffler, coming in as the favorite at +525, is praised for consistent elite performance, including no finishes worse than 25th in six events since returning from a hand injury, and podium finishes in his last four starts. His game, including a best putting performance of the season in Houston, is peaking. Rory McIlroy is faded despite strong wins at Pebble Beach and the Players; Will cites driving accuracy issues and suggests 10-1 would be a fairer line than 7.25-1. Jon Rahm, now on the LIV circuit, enters at 16-1 with recent top-10s but inconsistent putting and chipping. Morikawa is also passed over due to final-round collapses, though Will does back him to top 10 in Round 1. Other fades include Bryson DeChambeau (20-1), Justin Thomas (25-1), and Hideki Matsuyama (35-1), due to poor putting or chipping trends. Conversely, Will is bullish on Robert MacIntyre (60-1), who has recorded three straight top-11 finishes and two strong prior Augusta showings. He places both an outright bet and a matchup on him. Victor Hovland is another targeted play, specifically in a matchup over Cam Smith, following his Valspar win and a confident outlook on his improved short game. Shane Lowry, cited for consistency and solid Augusta history, is backed for a top 20, while Russell Henley earns a top-30 ticket thanks to elevated iron play. Several key quotes add depth. Scottie Scheffler credits Texas's varied conditions for developing his shot-making adaptability. Rory McIlroy reflects on family memories and the beauty of Augusta. Morikawa defends media avoidance, which Will critiques as symptomatic of poor mental preparation. Hovland speaks optimistically about short-game improvements with coach Grant Waite, prompting confidence from Will. Aberg's comments reveal awareness of recent struggles, but he remains committed to routine. Sepp Straka remains a strong value at 100-1 with excellent iron play and driving form. He's bet to beat Sam Burns in a first-round matchup, who is faded due to declining performance. Sung Jae Im's ticket has cratered in value, and Will expresses regret on that pick. Spieth is passed over at 40-1 due to erratic iron play, despite solid chipping and putting. Other noted fades include Tommy Fleetwood, Corey Connors, Cam Smith, Patrick Cantlay, Min Woo Lee, and Brooks Koepka, each due to specific statistical weaknesses in approach, short game, or driving. Later segments analyze lower-ranked players, including positive remarks about Phil Mickelson's resurgence and Charles Schwartzel's sharp form. Will picks Mickelson to make the cut, citing recent LIV success. Keegan Bradley and Akshay Bhatia are also featured in favorable matchups. Will wraps with lineup picks for Masters.com, choosing Scheffler, Patrick Reed, Shane Lowry, Davis Thompson, and Straka.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Valero Texas Open live from San Antonio at TPC San Antonio (Oaks). -Discussing top 8 on odds board -1 matchup -1 t10, 1 t20 -3 outrights (30/1, 55/1, 110/1) -Sleeper, 2 FRP, 2 lineups -Scoring, best bet For the latest as far as the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59 In the VALSPAR25 Golf Preview Podcast, Will Doctor recaps the Houston Open and offers a detailed betting breakdown for the upcoming Valero Texas Open. He opens by acknowledging a disappointing week in Houston, losing 5.5 units, bringing his season total to -53.8 units. Minwoo Lee claimed his first PGA Tour title, winning by one over Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland. Though Minwoo only hit 22 of 52 fairways, his dominance on and around the greens—15th in approach and around-the-green, and 2nd in putting—secured the win. Alejandro Tosti, known for his distance (4th at 317 yards), finished T-5 after a solid Sunday despite a rough start. Gary Woodland's emotional runner-up, his best since brain surgery, was fueled by elite putting and iron play. Scottie Scheffler posted his best putting week of 2025 and nearly chased down Minwoo with a final round 63, birdieing holes 13 through 16. Will's picks last week largely faltered. Davis Thompson (T-27) had a strong middle stretch but imploded on the greens Sunday with several missed short putts. Mac Meissner (T-39) drove poorly, finishing 67th in strokes gained off the tee, but impressed with iron play. Tony Finau missed a top-20 finish by two shots due to negative iron stats and a disastrous four-putt on Saturday's 15th hole. Minwoo Lee's top-20 bet hit, but Mackenzie Hughes lost top Canadian to Taylor Pendrith, who posted three rounds of 65. Looking ahead to the Valero Texas Open, Will previews a course demanding driving accuracy and elite short game on firm Bermuda greens. He dismisses favorites Ludwig Aberg (12-1), Tommy Fleetwood (14-1), Patrick Cantlay (20-1), Hideki Matsuyama (20-1), Keegan Bradley (25-1), and Jordan Spieth (25-1) due to recent struggles, poor pricing, or course history. Corey Conners, despite being 18-1, gets a top-10 pick (+175) based on his consistent form and two past wins at TPC San Antonio. Akshay Bhatia, the defending champion, earns a top-20 nod at even money given his recent top finishes. Will's outrights include Denny McCarthy (30-1), praised for elite putting and consistent irons; Bud Cauley (55-1), coming off two top-10s with sharp ball striking; and Isaiah Salinda (110-1), a powerful, accurate rookie who dazzled late in Houston. Woodland, fresh off his emotional T-2, is his sleeper pick for a top-10 finish at 4-1. First-round picks are Cauley (+450) and Salinda (+650) to top-10, both teeing off early. His DraftKings lineup features Bhatia, McCarthy, Cauley, Woodland, Salinda, and Meissner, while the PGA Tour Fantasy roster has Bhatia, McCarthy, Cauley, Salinda (captain), Woodland, and Lee Hodges. With potential wind and rain forecasted, Will predicts a winning score of 16-under. His best bet: Salinda to finish top-20 at 3-1.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Wednesday. The guys are ramping up for the NBA stretch run and provide best bets. The latest episode of the NBA podcast on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers, covers key NBA topics as the regular season nears its end. With around 16–17 games left, they discuss team performances, injuries, and betting angles for the Lakers, Bucks, Thunder, Celtics, Suns, Rockets, Timberwolves, and Nuggets. The Lakers' situation is a focal point, especially LeBron James' groin injury, sidelining him for 1–2 weeks. Mackenzie, holding an under 49.5 wins bet on the Lakers, sees hope as they've lost to the Celtics and Nets. With a tough schedule ahead, including games against the Thunder, Bucks, and Nuggets, he believes they may struggle to reach 50 wins despite improving as a team. Shifting to the Bucks, Milwaukee holds a 36–27 record with the sixth-hardest remaining schedule, including key matchups against contenders. Mackenzie projects them to surpass 46.5 wins and sees playoff potential, though he doubts they can challenge Boston or Cleveland. He also critiques the Kyle Kuzma trade, questioning whether he improves the team over Khris Middleton. The episode highlights a marquee matchup between the Thunder and Celtics. Boston is a 4.5-point favorite, but Mackenzie argues Oklahoma City has been the better team. He points to Boston's weak home-court advantage and statistical inferiority, supporting a bet on the Thunder. Munaf notes Oklahoma City's impressive 24-7 road record and believes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will exploit Boston's defense. The Suns' fading playoff hopes are another focus. With chemistry concerns, including reports of Kevin Durant's frustration, Phoenix struggles to stay competitive. Sitting outside the play-in tournament, they must overtake the struggling Mavericks. However, Munaf and Mackenzie question their motivation, especially given recent locker-room tension. Meanwhile, the Rockets, currently fifth in the West at 40–25, are dealing with depth issues. Injuries to Amen Thompson and Fred VanVleet complicate their guard rotation. Mackenzie sees value in betting on Phoenix, given Houston's instability and VanVleet's struggles. Munaf agrees, predicting strong performances from Durant and Booker. Next, the Timberwolves vs. Nuggets matchup is analyzed. Denver, a 3.5-point home favorite, seeks revenge after losing twice in Minnesota. Mackenzie leans toward a Nuggets moneyline bet, citing their superior clutch play and Nikola Jokić's ability to dominate late in games. He notes Denver's outstanding home record, making them a solid bet. Munaf's best bet is the over (237.5) in Mavericks vs. Spurs. He highlights San Antonio's poor defense without Victor Wembanyama, leading to high-scoring games. The Spurs have allowed an average of 256 combined points in their last six contests. Despite missing key scorers, Dallas remains potent, and both teams play at a fast pace. Munaf expects a high-scoring affair. The episode concludes with discussions on March Madness contests at Pregame.com, promo codes for betting packages, and upcoming player prop bets.

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben beak down CBB betting for this weekend. The guys are ready for March Madness and give out best bets. Griffin Warner and Big East Ben hosted the Need for Seats College Basketball Podcast (March 7, 2025), providing analysis and bets for significant college basketball matchups. Griffin Warner opened by acknowledging his recent betting loss on South Carolina against Georgia and humorously presented a Kawhi Leonard San Diego State jersey after their recent game against UNLV, won by Big East Ben's pick (0:15-1:28). Big East Ben celebrated snapping a four-game losing streak, noting UNLV's Julian Rich Wayne's standout performance with 26 points, significantly above his 8 PPG average, alongside Jayden Hensley's 17 points (1:29-2:19). Warner humorously discussed Julian Rich Wayne's extensive college transfer history (San Francisco, Florida, Boston College, UNLV) (2:20-3:08). They briefly touched upon Ed Cooley's move from Providence to Georgetown and speculated about his future tenure there, predicting he would remain beyond next season (3:35-4:11). The hosts moved onto detailed analyses of five highlighted matchups: Alabama at Auburn: Auburn favored by 7.5 points, total 178.5. Big East Ben critiqued Alabama's Mark Sears, highlighting his poor recent shooting (2-10 from three) and questioned his All-American credentials. Both predicted a high-scoring game, recommending betting the "over" due to potential late-game fouls and free throws (6:07-11:05). Arizona at Kansas: Kansas favored by 3 points, total 153. Ben expressed confidence in Kansas's ability at home, referencing their long-standing Senior Day success and recent competitiveness against Houston despite numerous turnovers. Warner preferred betting "under 153," citing Kansas's defensive strength and inconsistent offense (11:06-14:39). Houston at Baylor: Baylor underdogs by 4.5 points at home, total 131. Ben critiqued Baylor's poor defensive rebounding and perimeter defense, strongly backing Houston (-4.5). Warner opted for "over 131," expecting Houston to dominate Baylor's zone defense, forcing Baylor to adapt unsuccessfully (14:41-19:07). Marquette vs. St. John's: Marquette favored by 2.5, total 143. Ben passionately backed Marquette on Senior Day despite disappointment in recent performances. He highlighted Davion Smith's injury absence for St. John's as crucial. Warner disagreed, seeing the 2.5 spread as excessive given Marquette's recent inconsistency and St. John's resilience, despite losing two conference games narrowly (19:08-26:26). Missouri vs. Kentucky: Missouri favored by 5.5 points, total 168.5. Ben supported Missouri, citing Kentucky's key injuries. Warner preferred betting the "over," expecting both offenses to exploit each other's vulnerabilities, with Missouri's press defense contributing to a high-scoring pace (26:30-31:12). In concluding, Big East Ben selected Marquette (-2.5) as his best bet, emphasizing Senior Day motivation and St. John's weakened backcourt. Warner's best bet was Indiana (-2) over Ohio State, trusting Indiana's recent form and the home advantage despite previous inconsistency. The podcast also promoted a discount code (March20) for listeners to save on pregame.com bets (31:13-33:43). Throughout the podcast, the hosts shared humorous exchanges and insightful critiques, enhancing the analysis with statistical details and context for each team and key player discussed.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Saturday. The guys also give out best bets. The NBA Dream Preview podcast hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers provided analysis and insights for NBA games scheduled for Saturday. Munaf Manji (0:11–2:02) opened by highlighting the major news of Kyrie Irving's torn ACL injury, emphasizing its severe impact on the Dallas Mavericks. He pointed out Kyrie's exceptional season, noting he was the only player averaging over 20 points per game, 50% from the field, and 90% from the free-throw line. Mackenzie Rivers (2:03–3:54) discussed the implications of Irving's injury, stressing that while ACL injuries have shorter recovery periods today, it's significant given Kyrie's age (32) and heavy usage (39 minutes per game—the highest in the NBA post-Luka trade). Mackenzie critically noted the broader issue of heavy player workloads, suggesting the NBA's physical intensity has surpassed traditional scheduling models. Munaf Manji (3:54–4:56) agreed, proposing fewer games (65-70 instead of 82) could reduce injuries and improve player availability for playoffs. Discussing Anthony Davis's future with Dallas (4:57–6:17), Mackenzie declared the Mavericks' current championship window effectively closed. He asserted that Davis is primarily valuable as a trade asset and doubted Davis's return to significant play for Dallas. Rivers (6:37–6:56) briefly predicted a Lakers-Celtics finals matchup, highlighting these franchises' historic rivalry and current strengths. Munaf Manji (6:57–7:47) emphasized star power in the Lakers-Celtics potential finals, specifically mentioning Luka Doncic, LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, and Jalen Brown. He noted the Celtics' injury issues and their intent to keep stars healthy for playoffs. In the "I Got Five On It" segment (7:49–14:18), Mackenzie set the Lakers' over-under win total at 52.5, noting their impressive 12-2 record since acquiring Luka Doncic, making them the number two seed in the West. Munaf chose the under, citing a challenging remaining schedule and likely rest periods for LeBron and Luka. Game analysis began with Orlando Magic at Milwaukee Bucks (14:19–20:19). Mackenzie favored Bucks at -7.5, noting Orlando's poor recent form and injury to Jalen Suggs negatively impacting both offense and defense. Munaf supported this, citing Milwaukee's historic dominance over Orlando. The Lakers at Celtics game (20:19–26:04) was assessed next. Rivers initially leaned toward Boston but cited concerns about Drew Holiday's injury and the Lakers' recent strength in clutch moments. Munaf took Lakers +6, highlighting their resilience and strong halftime adjustments. Finally, they analyzed Detroit Pistons at Golden State Warriors (26:06–33:45). Despite Detroit's impressive recent performance, Mackenzie expressed cautious support for the Pistons +5 due to Warriors' recent long road trip. Munaf agreed, noting Detroit's strong road performance this season. Munaf's best bet (34:10–36:34) was Houston Rockets -8 against the Pelicans, citing Houston's 3-0 head-to-head record against New Orleans and recent defensive strength. Mackenzie supported this but mentioned Fred VanVleet's questionable status as an important factor. The episode concluded with promotional announcements for pregame.com and playful banter about Irish Heritage Month (38:32–39:50). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
