RJ Bell's Dream Preview

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 summary blends humor, data, and actionable betting strategies, offering a complete picture of the Tuesday MLB card. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. They concluded with a promo for Griffin's picks and encouraged listeners to take advantage of the B.A.T.20 discount at pregame.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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

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. They promote a $10 discount using code BUNT10 at pregame.com for season-long picks and wrap up promising continued coverage through the MLB season. Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

RJ Bell (0:05-0:24) opened the podcast celebrating the team's sharp NFL schedule release analysis and hinted at Fezzik's overenthusiasm. Mackenzie Rivers (0:24-0:26) supported RJ's disciplinary stance. RJ detailed NBA playoff promotions (0:26-1:44), highlighting Mackenzie's 20+ unit season profit and Fezzik's 21.7, while Diamond Dave Esler led with 37 units. Mackenzie (1:45-1:52) admitted frequent alignment with Fezzik's picks. RJ offered bundled picks at a discounted price. 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. RJ (5:57-6:19) supported this with Kansas City's precedent of resting players. Fezzik (7:02-7:14) warned about Saints and Jets possibly tanking due to QB issues. 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. RJ (22:37-23:55) spotlighted the 49ers' easiest stretch—Week 13 to 17—and New England's favorable Weeks 5-9. Scott (24:37-25:19) dissected Dallas' post-bye stretch as brutal. RJ (25:26-26:08) showcased Cincinnati's taxing three-game stretch against Baltimore, Buffalo, Baltimore.

RJ (54:53-55:04) noted the 49ers' early season is manageable but highlighted their late-season schedule as historically easy. RJ (1:24:28-1:24:44) confidently placed a best bet on 49ers over 10 wins, supported by Mackenzie. 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. He and Scott (1:43:57-1:44:05) saw the Knicks as undervalued against the Pacers, projecting the Knicks as deserving stronger home court consideration than the market indicates. Throughout, RJ questioned the sustainability of the Chiefs and emphasized the 49ers' position as strategically undervalued. The panel agreed that San Francisco remains a betting target despite roster losses, with RJ and Mackenzie noting their favorable odds across the board. Learn more about your ad choices.

-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.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about players receiving threats, the Rockies ineptitude and other betting stories around Major League Baseball. In this episode of "The Inside Pitch" recorded on May 12, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers discuss the controversy surrounding Lance McCullers Jr., his disastrous return, and the broader implications of gambling culture in MLB. McCullers, in his second start after a two-year injury hiatus, surrendered seven runs in a 10-run first inning against the Reds, registering just one out, giving up three hits, three walks, and one home run. Post-game, McCullers and his family received death threats, which Towers attributed to the toxic intersection of sports betting and fan entitlement. Towers emphasized that no athlete intentionally underperforms and that threatening players over wagers is unacceptable. Seidenberg concurred, adding that the accessibility of players via social media exacerbates the issue. McCullers expressed frustration, noting he only wants to perform for the Astros while ensuring his family's safety. Shifting focus to live betting strategies, Seidenberg recounted betting the Astros team total over 3.5 runs during the blowout, leveraging the assumption that weak bullpen arms would enter early. Towers supported this approach, explaining that such scenarios often lead to high-scoring games due to less effective relievers being used and pitchers potentially experimenting with pitches under low-pressure conditions. They dissected Brady Singer's outing, noting he stuck to his sinker-slider mix, throwing 30 sinkers, 15 sliders, and four cutters, struggling post the 45-minute delay. The discussion broadened to emphasize that blowouts offer learning opportunities for pitchers, enabling them to test pitches in-game situations they'd avoid in tighter contests. Attention turned to the Rockies' collapse, particularly their 21-0 loss to the Padres, followed by Bud Black's firing. Towers criticized the Rockies' misuse of pitchers, particularly exposing young arms like Blaylock to overwhelming situations, likely contributing to organizational dysfunction. Betting-wise, the Rockies were highlighted as historically profitable to fade, with 30 of their 33 losses by multiple runs and a 5-29 record in first-five innings. Seidenberg recommended automatic daily run line fades against the Rockies. Broader betting trends were analyzed, including the Mets' 29-12 first-five innings under record and the Royals' similar 30-12 mark. The Mariners surprisingly leaned to the over. The conversation shifted to player performance futures. Kyle Schwarber's 46-game on-base streak, 14 home runs, and .404 OBP were celebrated, with Seidenberg suggesting profitable betting strategies targeting Schwarber to reach base safely in his first plate appearance using various app markets. Josh Towers and Seidenberg also agreed that Freddie Freeman's .367 average and league-best OPS made him undervalued at +1100 for the NL MVP, criticizing how consistently elite players are often overlooked in futures markets. In Cy Young discussions, Wheeler was favored in the NL at +700 due to his 58 innings, 2.95 ERA, and 0.91 WHIP, while Skubal and Eovaldi were highlighted in the AL. Hunter Brown was noted as a legitimate contender, given his cleaned-up mechanics and plus stuff. The Rookie of the Year race saw Jacob Wilson as AL favorite, while Luis Angel Acuna led the NL despite modest power numbers, with Towers skeptical of his long-term viability. They concluded by discussing rookie dark horses and emphasized the difficulty pitchers face sustaining excellence across a full season, all while promoting Pregame.com's latest offers.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets. The MLB Gambling Podcast's latest episode hosted by Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner delivers a detailed Tuesday betting preview based purely on pitching matchups, team trends, and recent performance statistics. Munaf and Griffin open the show with excitement following a strong 2-0 performance in their previous picks and aim to extend their hot streak. They begin by analyzing the AL Central battle between the Twins and Guardians, with a cautious lean toward the under 8 runs given Chris Paddack's improved recent starts and Tanner Bibee's historical success against the Twins. They then move to the Yankees vs Orioles matchup, noting vulnerabilities with Carlos Rodón's road performances and Kyle Gibson's questionable season debut, leading to a preference for betting the over 9.5 runs. Griffin stresses the decline of Cleveland's Emmanuel Clase as closer and the potential rise of Cade Smith. Munaf continues by previewing Cardinals vs Reds, highlighting Myles Mikolas' dreadful history against Cincinnati, pushing both hosts to recommend overs for both the first five innings and full game totals. The discussion moves to Nationals vs Phillies, where Mackenzie Gore's dominance over Philadelphia's lefty-heavy lineup is emphasized, making a strong case for a first five innings under. In Royals vs Rays, Michael Lorenzen's overachieving start and Todd Bradley's homerun struggles lead the team to back the Royals as live road underdogs. When analyzing the Red Sox vs Blue Jays game, Griffin points out the absurd 110-pitch outing by Garrett Crochet and supports the Blue Jays as a home underdog while favoring the under 7.5 total. Attention then shifts to Diamondbacks vs Mets, where Arizona's bullpen injuries cause concern and Munaf and Griffin favor the Mets at -136 along with a lean toward the game going over 8.5 runs. Freddy Peralta's inability to pitch deep into games and the uncertainty surrounding Bryce Wilson's starting role lead to a mixed, cautious view on Brewers vs White Sox betting opportunities. Reese Olson's excellent performances and Ryan Gusto's surprisingly solid outings prompt a lean toward the under 7.5 in the Tigers vs Astros matchup. In Braves vs Rockies, the duo highlights Herman Marquez's recent collapse and backs the Braves confidently on the run line, with a side of team total overs. Padres vs Giants analysis reveals preference for the Padres as slight home underdogs behind Nick Pivetta's hot streak, despite Logan Webb's steadiness. An under 7 is preferred in this pitcher's duel. The final game between Mariners and Angels leads to a discussion about Bryce Miller's control issues but favorable pitching environment in Seattle's T-Mobile Park, leading both hosts to lean toward under 8 runs. The show wraps up with brief comments about Sandy Alcantara possibly auditioning against the Dodgers for a future trade and a reminder of ERA10 promo code benefits for listeners. Griffin's best bet locks in on the Mets moneyline while Munaf targets the Yankees and Orioles game to go over 9.5 runs. Throughout the episode, Munaf and Griffin emphasize bullpen health, pitcher-specific matchup trends, weather conditions, and momentum as the critical factors influencing Tuesday's betting edges.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA playoff betting for Tuesday and Wednesday. The guys have been on a roll and offer up best bets. The "NBA Dream Pod Tuesday + Best Bets" episode, hosted by Munaf Manji with Mackenzie Rivers, provided a detailed breakdown of the NBA playoff matchups for Tuesday and early Wednesday. The show opened with Munaf introducing the focus on games involving teams trying to avoid elimination, notably the Celtics, Knicks, Bucks, and Lakers. Mackenzie explained historical playoff patterns, emphasizing how two-seeds facing a 1-2 deficit have managed a comeback 28% of the time, offering statistical hope for teams like the Rockets. A significant portion of the conversation centered around the Boston Celtics versus Orlando Magic series. Munaf outlined Boston's injury concerns, including Jason Tatum's return and Jalen Brown's dislocated finger. Mackenzie highlighted how Orlando's offense had improved post-All-Star break, moving from 17th to 12th among playoff teams. They agreed that closeout games historically hit the under 55.6% of the time, suggesting a lean toward the under for the total, while both backed Boston to cover the large spread at home. The New York Knicks were another major topic. Mackenzie argued that despite negative media narratives, the Knicks had validated their playoff favoritism with Jalen Brunson leading the way. He praised Brunson's transformation into a consistent playoff performer and criticized market overreactions that downgraded New York despite a 3-1 series lead. Both Mackenzie and Munaf saw clear value in betting Knicks -5.5 against the Pistons. The show then shifted to the Milwaukee Bucks' struggles. Mackenzie dissected Milwaukee's systemic issues, pointing to Giannis Antetokounmpo's gaudy stats lacking meaningful impact within a flawed offensive system. With Damian Lillard suffering a torn Achilles, the Bucks' outlook grew even grimmer. Munaf labeled the situation a “dream crusher” and forecasted a bleak future for Milwaukee unless major changes occur. Both hosts leaned toward the Pacers not only to cover but to dominate Game 5, suggesting Pacers -7.5 and the Pacers' team total over 114.5. Attention then turned to the Clippers vs Nuggets series. After a dramatic Game 4, where the Clippers nearly erased a 20-point deficit, Mackenzie acknowledged his pre-series Clippers bets but now found value on the Nuggets due to an over-adjusted market. Both hosts respected Denver's championship heart but leaned slightly toward the Clippers for Game 5, impressed by Ty Lue's adjustments and the team's resilience even without Russell Westbrook, who might return. The conversation naturally flowed into the Lakers vs Timberwolves series. Mackenzie critiqued the Lakers' reliance on "random basketball," lacking structured offensive schemes in crunch time. He praised Anthony Edwards' fearless, Iverson-like performances, noting Minnesota's +36 fourth-quarter margin across four games. Although he recognized that playoff situational dynamics might favor the Lakers in Game 5, Mackenzie still rated the Timberwolves as the superior team overall. Munaf agreed, suggesting live-betting Minnesota if the Lakers led after three quarters and favoring the under on total points. Toward the end, Munaf and Mackenzie each gave their best bets: Knicks -5.5 and Celtics -11 respectively. They reflected on which team down 3-1 had the best comeback chance, settling on the Lakers because of LeBron James' and Luka Doncic's individual brilliance despite their flawed team dynamics. They closed the episode optimistically, hoping their sharp betting angles would continue delivering winners for listeners throughout the NBA playoffs Learn more about your ad choices.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg discuss the top stories around Major League Baseball with betting leans for this week and beyond. The Inside Pitch, recorded April 28 with Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers, reviews MLB standings and focuses on Yankees bullpen changes. Devin Williams lost the closer role after posting an 11.25 ERA, allowing 12 runs, 12 hits, and 7 walks in just 8 innings. Towers attributes Williams' struggles to mental weakness under New York pressure rather than mechanics, noting his strikeout rate dropped to 18.2% and sweet spot contact rose to 42.9%. Luke Weaver, who has thrown 14 scoreless innings with only 3 hits allowed and 14 strikeouts, steps in as closer. Weaver's mindset and adaptability were praised. The discussion predicts Williams could struggle further when used earlier in games to rebuild confidence. The Orioles are highlighted as the best "over" team at home due to poor pitching, favoring the over nine-and-a-half total in the Yankees-Orioles matchup. Conversely, an under nine bet is favored in the Rangers-Athletics game, citing solid pitching from Patrick Corbin and JP Sears. Gunnar Henderson's slump is analyzed: batting .220 with a 29.1% strikeout rate and minimal walks, attributed to over-aggression. Team evaluations followed: the Yankees and Red Sox are considered legitimate, Tampa Bay consistent but streaky, while skepticism is directed at the Blue Jays and Orioles sustaining competitiveness. In the AL Central, the Tigers are viewed as legitimate division contenders, with the Royals better than their record suggests. Towers criticizes the MLB's reduced minor leagues for worsening player development and opposes expansion. Aaron Judge's performance is lauded as historically elite with a 13.7 WAR across the last year, comparable to Babe Ruth's best seasons. Judge's discipline at the plate and patience are credited for his continued dominance. In the NL East, the Mets' excellent pitching and 12–1 home record establish them as serious contenders. Towers expects the Braves to rebound and questions the Phillies' consistency due to defensive lapses. In the Central, the Cubs are seen as overperforming, while Cincinnati, led by an improving Elly De La Cruz, is a value pick. Further analysis highlights Judge's league-best weighted runs created plus and criticizes the Dodgers' injury problems, blaming organizational changes to pitching mechanics. The Padres and Mariners are praised for pitching but have offensive concerns; the Rangers are expected to surge in the AL West. Award discussions follow: Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso are MVP favorites, Tariq Skubal and Logan Webb are Cy Young contenders. Top prospects like Roman Anthony and Jack Caglione are discussed cautiously, with Towers warning that MLB's fast-tracking approach harms long-term player development.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA playoff betting for Friday. Mack and Munaf also discuss other games on this weekends slate. The NBA Playoffs are in full swing, and this weekend's slate offers critical matchups packed with betting potential. The Boston Celtics face the Orlando Magic with star Jason Tatum listed as doubtful and Jrue Holiday questionable, shifting the balance as the series moves to Florida. Despite the Celtics leading 2-0, Orlando's strong home ATS record contrasts sharply with their struggles as home underdogs, and betting attention turns to the low total line of 197.5, which sharp bettors see as an opportunity due to Boston's depth pushing pace. In Milwaukee, the Bucks return home down 0-2 to the Indiana Pacers in what's being framed as a do-or-die Game 3. Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to dominate statistically, but the Bucks need more from Damian Lillard and their role players. Analysts highlight the importance of the zigzag theory—teams returning home down 0-2 tend to cover well when favored. With home crowd intensity and urgency peaking, Milwaukee emerges as a popular favorite at -5, while expectations are high for Lillard to step up and justify the hype surrounding this playoff duo. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves host the Lakers in a series tied 1-1 but with Minnesota showing signs of dominance. With one blowout win and another defensively strong performance, the Timberwolves appear the better team. Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle have bolstered a defense that's holding the Lakers under 95 points per game. Betting leans heavily on the Timberwolves at -3 and the under 205.5, especially with the Lakers struggling to generate offense beyond LeBron James and Luka Doncic. In the West, the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets are also tied 1-1, but Jimmy Butler's deep glute contusion puts his Game 3 status in jeopardy. With Butler sidelined or limited, the Warriors become a favored pick at -3.5. Both games in the series have gone under, and experts note the 6-1 under trend in head-to-head matchups, underscoring a strong play on the under 203 regardless of Butler's final status. Golden State's playoff experience and Houston's road inexperience further point to a bounce-back game from the Warriors in a defensive battle. The Cleveland Cavaliers, up 2-0 against the Miami Heat, look poised for a sweep. Anchored by Donovan Mitchell and a dominant frontcourt, the Cavs are thriving while the Heat—absent Jimmy Butler—struggle for answers. The early start time for Game 3, a 1:05 PM ET tip, also favors the under based on long-standing trends. With a -6 line, the Cavs are considered a strong play as Miami lacks the firepower and depth to contend without their playoff hero. Altogether, the weekend's NBA action offers compelling narratives, strategic betting angles, and several best bets grounded in injury reports, home court advantage, and historical trends. Whether it's the Celtics' adaptability, the Bucks' urgency, the Timberwolves' defense, or the Warriors' reliance on Butler's status, these games will define playoff momentum—and betting outcomes.

Will Doctor brings you the sharpest golf picks and information for this weeks Zurich Classic and Chevron Championship. Will Doctor's Golf Preview Podcast, recorded from the Nicholas Course at Carlton Woods, dives deep into betting picks and performance analysis for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the Chevron Championship, and briefly, the Veritex Bank Championship. Opening with a recap of the RBC Heritage, Doctor praises Justin Thomas for winning his 16th PGA Tour title after a playoff with Andrew Novak. Thomas posted a 61 in round one and closed with a bogey-free 68. Novak, described as the American Jon Rahm, impressed with elite short game and iron play, though he missed key putts, notably a 10-footer on the 13th. Doctor criticizes himself for failing to include Novak in his bets, noting Novak's three final group appearances and five top-15 finishes in 2025. The podcast reflects on several betting losses, including missing JT's surge and Novak's rise. The card was down 6.7 units, adding to an overall deficit of 81.2 units for the season. Scottie Scheffler's T8 finish was dissected, focusing on a critical double bogey on 15 caused by a tricky lie in the waste area. Despite superb ball-striking, putting lapses limited his contention. Daniel Berger's T3 finish came with elite ball-striking but poor putting early in the week. Other near-miss bets included JT Poston (T11), Sungjae Im losing the top Asian bet to Siwoo Kim, and Ryan Gerard's bogey on 18, which destroyed a top 20 ticket. Garrick Higgo's win at Corrales Punta Cana, his second PGA Tour victory, was a notable miss for Will, who lamented overlooking Higgo despite strong form in previous starts. For the Zurich Classic, two outright bets are offered. Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin at 28/1 are highlighted for elite ball-striking and top-tier putting. Griffin's form shows recent putting struggles, but his strong Bermuda putting history is encouraging. Billy Horschel and Tom Hoge, also at 28/1, are touted for their pairing of elite putting and solid recent results. Horschel's Zurich history includes two wins and a second-place finish, while Hoge has four straight T18 finishes with resurgent driving accuracy. A top 20 bet on Nico Echavarria and Max Greyserman at +130 is based on their elite Bermuda putting and last year's T4 result. Their recent ball-striking is a concern, but their putting could carry them into the top 20 if they strike it average. Doctor explores other pairings but passes on Carl Yuan and Michael Thorbjornsen due to inconsistency and on Isaiah Salinda and Kevin Velo due to Velo's below-average stats. At the Chevron Championship, hosted again at the Nicholas Course, the course demands power and precision, favoring long hitters due to tight driving lanes and potentially soft greens. Nelly Korda is picked to win at 9/1. She won here in 2024 and continues to be elite across all metrics, especially improving putting. Ingrid Lindblad is the value pick, taken at 70/1 to win and 4/1 to finish top 10. She recently won in just her third LPGA start and ranks high in driving, approach, and putting stats, although her short game remains untested at this venue. Finally, Doctor previews his visit to the Veritex Bank Championship, with plans to gather insights on-site and update picks via social media. He teases future episodes from the Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch and the Truest Championship at Philadelphia Cricket Club. The podcast closes with a promo code for picks at pregame.com and a strong focus on preparing for the upcoming stretch of the season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting. The wiseguy round table does the annual Vegas wiseguy NBA Playoff draft !! conduct a unique NBA Playoffs team draft, each receiving $250 to bid on teams, with scoring based on playoff progression: 1 point for the first round, 2 for the second, 4 for reaching the Finals, and 8 for winning the title. Boston and Oklahoma City (OKC) are split into halves due to their odds outweighing the individual cap. Mackenzie wins half of Boston for $131, arguing their elite two-way metrics and experience justify the price. He notes Boston's 16–2 playoff run last year, strong net rating, and top-tier half-court efficiency. RJ and Fezzik counter with Cleveland's comparable point differential and challenge the strength of Boston's schedule in the East. Cleveland's hot shooting is scrutinized. Mackenzie explains their +18 clutch rating is extreme compared to the +4.5 average among playoff teams and unsustainable over time. Scott notes they played 38 clutch games, about average, while OKC's low number of clutch situations (24) reflects dominance. OKC's +12.6 point differential is the best in NBA history. They also had 38 wins by 15+ points and only 2 such losses. RJ emphasizes their resilience with an 18–10 record when trailing by double digits, far superior to the second-best 13–14 mark. Lower-tier play-in teams draw minimal bids. Miami goes to RJ for $3. Mackenzie critiques their 10-game losing streak post-Butler trade, Bam's decline, and poor offensive efficiency, though Spolstra and slow pace offer playoff upside. Chicago is seen as improved since trading Zach LaVine, becoming a top-10 team post-All-Star break. Bulls are split among three drafters for $1 each. RJ also picks up Orlando, who are 1600-1 to beat Boston, and praised for grit but dismissed due to weak three-point shooting. Boston led the league with 53.6% of their shots from three, the highest rate in NBA history. RJ gets Detroit for $3. Mackenzie notes they've been the most upgraded team in his power rankings and highlights Cade Cunningham's All-NBA case, but says they lack playoff-caliber depth. RJ grabs Milwaukee for $8, believing Giannis can carry them. The panel debates Lillard's availability; Mackenzie is skeptical, estimating the line implies only a 25% chance he plays. Indiana, led by Tyrese Haliburton, is drafted by Fezzik for $15 due to their strong seeding and Milwaukee matchup. RJ then wins Cleveland for $111, citing their historic shooting profile. They're the only team top five in both three-point rate and percentage. Mackenzie remains skeptical of their overall ceiling. Fezzik outbids the panel at $34 for the Knicks, but Scott highlights their 0-4 record against elite teams and suggests they've struggled against contenders. In the West, Scott makes a calculated move and takes half of OKC for $123. Mackenzie praises their evolution and improved playoff readiness. RJ wins the Clippers for $41, citing Kawhi's elite playoff form when healthy. Fezzik takes Denver for $63, stating he preferred the Clippers but couldn't risk being shut out. Scott grabs Golden State for $45 and the Lakers for $38, expecting both to have favorable paths if they advance. Mackenzie questions the Lakers' hype, citing shallow margins and overperformance against weak opponents. RJ wins the other half of OKC unopposed. The show closes with MVP debates. Jokic's season (52.5 combined PTS+REB+AST) surpasses all prior years, and media sentiment may swing votes his way. OKC's dominance and individual achievements are noted, but voter narratives and recent performances could shift ballots. RJ, Mackenzie, and Fezzik assess title probabilities and wrap with final rosters, confirming RJ and Mackenzie as high spenders and Scott's OKC acquisition as the savviest draft moment.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for week 16 at the RBC Heritage & Corales Puntacana Championship! -Reviewing Rory completing the grand slam at the 89th Masters -Discussing top 8 at Heritage -1 matchup -2 t10's -3 outrights (+475, 50/1, 90/1) -Sleeper, 2 lineups, scoring, best bet -2 FRL for Corales -2 outrights for Corales -1 t10 for Corales The transcript begins with host Will Docter reacting to Rory McIlroy's landmark Masters victory, completing the career Grand Slam and joining an elite group of six. Mike Tirico's emotional broadcast is cited, capturing McIlroy's on-course collapse in tears. Rory's press conference reflects on inspiration from Tiger Woods, struggles throughout the day, and mental strength, particularly after early double bogeys. A note from Ángel Cabrera added a sentimental touch. Rory's rounds of 72, 66, 66, and 73 included four double bogeys—no past Masters winner had ever overcome as many. Docter notes Rory's final round featured both mistakes and immediate recoveries, such as birdies following doubles and clutch iron shots, particularly a hook 7-iron on the 15th hole. Despite sloppy play off the tee and below-average putting, his elite approach and short game, backed by years of mental training, led him to victory over contenders like Justin Rose, who shot a 66 on Sunday to force a playoff but fell short. The loss marked Rose's second defeat in a Masters playoff. Docter transitions to a betting review, citing a 12.6-unit loss on the Masters, part of a 74.6-unit deficit on the season. Key misfires included failed bets on Sepp Straka and Tom Hoge, both below-average chippers—highlighting a key error in strategy at Augusta. Ludwig Åberg nearly contended until a late collapse; Collin Morikawa's first-round falter also ruined early bets. Sungjae Im was a bright spot with a fifth-place finish. Doctor criticizes his overreliance on players with poor short games and reviews each ticket, including failed first-round bets and frustrating near misses like Shane Lowry, who imploded with an 81 on Sunday. Shifting to the RBC Heritage at Harbor Town, Docter details the course as favoring accurate drivers, sharp approach play from 150–175 yards, and strong Bermuda putting. He reviews top favorites. Scheffler (+425) is a strong pick, showing consistent elite form and success at Harbor Town last year. Morikawa, Henley, and Fleetwood are dismissed due to poor putting. Corey Conners and Åberg are borderline due to form and past finishes. Schauffele is in good form but not elite in the critical approach range. Cantlay and Fleetwood are passed due to inconsistent recent play. A key matchup pick is Ryan Gerard over Adam Scott, citing Scott's issues with driving and putting. Gerard is also the sleeper pick to top 20. Two “picks to place” include Schauffele top 10 (+120), based on elite approach numbers and improving putting, and JT Poston top 10 (+375), with recent putting resurgence and three top-10s at Harbor Town. Outright picks include Scheffler, Berger (50:1), praised for driving accuracy and course history, and Bud Cauley (90:1), with recent top-5 finishes and elite stats in the target range. Fantasy lineups are provided for DraftKings and PGA.com platforms, with lineups built around Scheffler, Schauffele, Im, Berger, Poston, and Cauley. The predicted winning score is 19-under. The best bet is Sungjae Im as top Asian (+160), citing strong course history and lack of serious competition beyond Ryo Hisatsune. For Corrales, Mitchell (28:1) and Hall (33:1) are first-round leader picks based on scoring averages. Outright bets are Packieter and Cootie at 45:1, while Alejandro Tosti is selected to top 10 at +333 based on form despite putting concerns. The podcast wraps with reminders of betting value and expectations heading into the next week. Predicted winning score: 19-under-par at RBC Heritage.

RJ Bell, Mackenzie Rivers and Scott Seidenberg discuss many topics on this weeks Dream Podcast. The guys cover some NBA coaching changes and NFL season win total adjustments. Plus, Stock market and gambling markets deep dive. The Dream Podcast – NBA + NFL Win Totals & Stock Market! features RJ Bell, Scott Seidenberg, and Mackenzie Rivers dissecting sports betting insights and investing behavior. RJ introduces a special 90-day all-access betting package, recommending Fezzik for his strong MLB (+43 units) and NBA record. Mackenzie highlights his NBA season performance with a 57.5% win rate over 710 plays, positioning himself as a premier handicapper. The discussion turns to the NCAA tournament, where Duke blew a six-point lead to Houston in under 30 seconds despite a 92.5% win probability. Florida emerged as champions, becoming the first team in over 20 years to win three straight tournament games while trailing by eight or more points, underscoring tournament randomness. Scott discusses refusing to hedge a $300 bet to win $1,800 on Houston, which leads to RJ's broader discussion on hedging psychology—only advisable when money is emotionally or financially pivotal. The NFL segment dives into new overtime rules: both teams now receive possession, unless the first team controls the entire 10-minute period. RJ and Scott analyze how this changes endgame strategies, field goal thresholds, and 2-point conversion decisions. Shifting to NFL win totals, RJ spotlights major market movements. Dallas's total drops from 10 to 7.5 wins, which RJ deems wildly low given Dak Prescott's top-8 QB status, an elite receiver and defender, and a fourth-place schedule. He calls this his “epiphany best bet.” They compare this to Pittsburgh, questioning the sustainability of Mike Tomlin's non-losing streak amid aging quarterbacks and reliance on Mason Rudolph. RJ leans under for the Steelers. Denver firing NBA coach Michael Malone—despite playoff contention and a title last season—signals internal dysfunction. Jokic reportedly approved the move, later drawing up plays on the whiteboard. Mackenzie highlights the “dead coach bounce,” noting teams who fire their coach mid-season win 75% ATS in the next game but regress to 40% ATS in the second. Jokic's role seems to be shifting toward playmaking, suggesting betting unders on his points and overs on assists when Denver is ahead. In the final segment, RJ dives into financial strategy, likening betting discipline to investing. He advises avoiding timing the market, minimizing transaction costs, and investing via low-fee index funds over hedge or mutual funds. RJ references his finance background, recounting managing Ohio State's $7 million endowment and concluding that behavior, not picks, determines most losses. He encourages dollar-cost averaging and diversification, especially outside the U.S. dollar. The key, he insists, is resisting emotional decisions in both betting and finance.

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.
