Send us a textFor the fourth time in their last five, the Minnesota Twins lose a series, this time to the visiting Texas Rangers. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for David and helps Dan make sense of an up-and-down series that included a wonderful Game 2 victory and then two ugly blowout losses. Hoges heaps the praise on a "mature" Byron Buxton but wonders about the longevity of this battered starting rotation. Dan is thankful for the performance of young David Festa but is concerned that the AL Central might be out of reach already anyway.

The White Sox have some real ballplayers and the youth movement is suddenly on after this past weekend. We have a perplexing question about Joshua Palacios, though. It goes something like "why is Joshua Palacios stealing at bats from Edgar Quero?" Another question has to do with next season. Are the White Sox closer to getting out of the basement in the AL Central than previously thought? Enjoy "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Mike Axisa joined Baskin and Phelps to preview the Guardians' upcoming series with the Reds, the importance of the Ohio Cup, and shared his insight on why Terry Francona decided to go to Cincinnati. He also broke down the American League and explained why he thinks three AL Central teams could make the post season again, where the Guardians stand in the division, and how bad the Rockies' record is for both fans and the league.

The Cincinnati Reds, now 33-33, roared back to .500 with a commanding three-game sweep over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Great American Ball Park, showcasing offensive firepower and resilient pitching. The series, concluding on June 8, 2025, saw the Reds overcome early deficits and weather challenges, including rain delays, to secure a 4-2 victory in the finale. Christian Encarnacion-Strand, fresh off the injured list, was a standout, going 7-for-13 with six RBIs, including a solo homer in the fifth inning of the final game. Jose Trevino tied the game with another solo shot, and Matt McLain delivered the decisive blow—a two-run homer in the seventh off Arizona's Zac Gallen, who allowed four runs over 6 2/3 innings. Brady Singer kept the Reds competitive, pitching five innings and allowing two runs despite taking a comebacker to his arm. Taylor Rogers earned the win with two scoreless relief innings, and Tony Santillan sealed the sweep with his second save. The Reds' earlier wins included a 4-3, 10-inning thriller and a 13-1 rout, highlighting their offensive depth and bullpen strength. . Now, the Reds head to Progressive Field for a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians (34-30), starting today, June 9, 2025. This matchup follows Cincinnati's sweep of Cleveland in May, adding intensity to the battle for the Ohio Cup. The Reds aim to maintain momentum against a Guardians team chasing the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers. Cincinnati's probable starters are Wade Miley (0-0, 18.00 ERA), Andrew Abbott (5-1, 2.18 ERA), and Nick Lodolo (4-4, 3.21 ERA), facing Cleveland's Luis Ortiz (3-6, 4.02 ERA), Slade Cecconi (1-2, 4.87 ERA), and Logan Allen (3-4, 4.42 ERA). Miley's return from injury makes his start a question mark, but Abbott's consistency and Lodolo's solid outings provide stability. Cleveland's José Ramírez, with 12 homers, remains a threat, though their recent 5-3 loss to Houston exposed vulnerabilities. The Reds, buoyed by their sweep, must navigate Cleveland's strong 17-13 home record. One win secures the Ohio Cup, but Cincinnati's focus is on climbing the NL Central standings. Expect a competitive series with the Reds' bats aiming to exploit Cleveland's pitching.

Chelsea Janes joined Baskin and Phelps and shared her thoughts on the Guardians, the AL Central, and whether or not the Tigers are currently overperforming. She discussed why she thinks interleague play is a good thing for Major League Baseball, as well as what the biggest hang ups will be if the league wanted to institute a salary cap and revenue sharing.

We get an update on the AL Central from Mike Schaefer, our resident Guardians fan. An Australian Rules punter is in Lincoln, was Nebraska Baseball's season a success, and an out of nowhere David Krumholtz reference from one of our favorite guests.

Brandon Day of Bless You Boys joined to discuss the Tigers and help break down the series. Having quite a year, the Tigers have stormed into first place in the AL Central, reminding everyone that they are the team to beat. And they're only getting healthier, and unfortunately, better. Here is what Chrystal and Brandon talked about: The Javy Báez resurgence: from injury to center field star What's new in Detroit AJ Hinch saved the organization Casey Mize figured out his splitter, and Spencer Torkelson is a hitting machine Are the White Sox cursed? Chrystal's thoughts on Will Venable Rating the offseason Alex Bregman is a persona non grata in Detroit Brandon's thoughts on the season Pitching matchups Is Tarik Skubal the best pitcher in baseball right now?

Dream, of For The Numbers Fantasy, joined Chrystal to chat about the sorry state of the Baltimore Orioles and help preview the upcoming series. The White Sox and Orioles face each other in what could be a mid-off after a slow start from the O's, and well, Chicago being uninspiring after a painful, record-breaking season in 2024. Here is what we talked about: What's new with the Orioles Was Brandon Hyde's firing a scapegoat for deeper issues within the organization? The grass isn't always greener; see Rick Hahn and Chris Getz as an example of that How much can the front office be blamed when the product on the field can't hold up their end of the bargain? Rating the offseason Jackson Holliday's mechanical changes and move to leadoff Injuries have plagued Baltimore, and pitching is abysmal Pitching matchups, of the three, Tomoyuki Sugano might be the only good O's starter the White Sox will face Trade bait, and the lack thereof with Luis Robert Jr. Old friends of the White Sox who are doing better elsewhere Is Gunnar Henderson the biggest threat to White Sox pitching? The keys to winning the series Fears ahead of the series Why we're seeing a lack of the long ball and fun home runs The AL East has been really bad, and the AL Central has been really good The Dodgers are deep in the pitching injury drought You can find Dream on Twitter.

Detroit Sports Podcast -- Doc N Jock Sports w/ John & Adam This week -- What stood out this week for the Tigers after losing the series to the Guardians, but winning against the Giants, How big of a threat are the Guardians to the Tigers in the AL Central, Does Tarik Skubal have what it takes to be this generation's Justin Verlander? Plus: Detroit Lions OTA preview! 

Audacy MLB Insider Bob Nightengale joins Afternoon Drive to discuss the Guardians. He talks about the competition in the AL Central, if Jose Ramirez will become a cautionary tale in baseball, how the National League has become stronger than the American League, and more.

Are the Detroit Tigers surprisingly the best team in MLB in 2025?

In Hour 1, Patrick and Joe react to the great season by the Detroit Tigers so far, debate whether or not the Boston Red Sox should give up on 2025, and more.

In Hour 2, Patrick and Joe discuss the possibility of teams near .500 getting better in the second half of the season, debate whether or not the Texas Rangers are cooked, and more.

8Tigers have best record in baseball, AL Central could have 4 teams in playoffs, and Dodgers are getting younger. Bri makes his initial predictions for 2025 Bengals (11-6 behind an improved D), Jags (a surprising 10-7 w/upset over Chiefs) and Packers (12-5 with big week 1 win over Lions.)

Hot Dog eater Joey Chestnut made quite the impression on Dusty Bob and Mac in New Orleans during the super bowl and we talk a little AL Central v AFC West.

Send us a textDespite all the rain, the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Guardians managed to get a couple games in at Target Field this series, splitting the pair. And that seemed just fine, considering how battered the Twins' lineup is now. David and Dan discuss the impact weather had on this series while seriously questioning how Rocco Baldelli handled it, while they also saw the ending to Game 1 as the most Minnesota ending a baseball game could have. They assess how the team is holding together the lineup without Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton, and they look ahead to a big weekend of baseball in the AL Central.

Browns are going back to the 2020 offensive model to find new wrinkle+NFL players can join the 2028 Olympic flag football team+Scott Braun: Guardians have consistent system to compete for AL Central

Scott Braun of Foul Territory TV joins Afternoon Drive to break down how the Guardians have done thus far this season and what they need to do to continue winning and competing for the AL Central Division.

Chris Assenheimer joined Baskin and Phelps and talked about whether or not it's concerning that the Guardians are sitting in fourth place in the division. He also talked about facing Terry Francona and getting swept by the Reds, where the team can find power in the lineup, as well as his thoughts on the rotation and how he expects it to change with Shane Bieber returns.

The Detroit Tigers continue to thrive as the first MLB team to reach 30 wins in the 2025 season — a milestone that's contributed to the campaign nickname "Year of Javy," courtesy of Tigers TV voice Jason Benetti. But the Days of Roar podcast is ready to add a new theme: "Summer of Tork." Javier Báez continues to shine, single-handedly winning two key games against the Red Sox and Blue Jays, while Spencer Torkelson is on pace for 41 home runs and 131 RBIs, looking like 2022 Pete Alonso. Despite Detroit's hot start, the American League Central remains competitive, with the Twins, Guardians and Royals all already achieving 25 wins. Bobby Nightengale Jr., the Twins beat writer for the Minneapolis Star Tribune, joins the show fresh off Minnesota's 13-game winning streak. Looking ahead to the July 31 trade deadline, could a right-handed hitting third baseman like Nolan Arenado be the upgrade the Tigers need to win their first World Series since 1984? Plus, the Tigers are getting Jake Rogers, Matt Vierling and Casey Mize back from their injuries this week, with Parker Meadows expected to return next month. Follow Evan on X/Twitter here.

Send us a textThree managers have been fired already before Memorial Day!  #Pirates Derek Shelton, #Rockies Bud Black, & #Orioles Brandon Hyde all were dismissed and it kind of makes sense. You can't fire 26 players!  #Twins won 13 straight before finally losing on Sunday. They move to 2nd place in the #ALCentral. #Tigers are the best team in #MLB right now and look strong enough to hold that position. How about #Mariners hitting? After years of putrid offense, the M's are leading the #ALWest over tired #Astros & underperforming #Rangers. Only #Yankees are over .500 in the #ALEast. #Dodgers still leading the #NLWest but the #Padres, #Giants, & #Dbacks are all good teams and will vie for a playoff spot all season. #Cubs may be the only #NLCentral team to make the postseason. #Mets lead #NLEast, #Phillies lose Jose Alvarado to PED suspension, and Aaron Nola is on the IL. #Braves are righting the ship & will be heard from. We also talked about inside the park home runs which are an increasing rarity. Ballparks are smaller, players are better athletes and understand how to play the outfield in the various parks. There have only been 10 inside the park homers in the World Series.

In this episode, we're breaking down the Chiefs' 2025 draft picks — who's a game-changer and who's a gamble. Plus, the Royals are heating up and making noise in the AL Central. And we're diving into the latest NBA drama — is the league rigged, or are fans just fed up? Tune in for hot takes, sharp analysis, and a few rants along the way!

Sho Alli and Daniele Franceschi break down the Blue Jays' 3-2 loss vs. the Tigers to wrap up a series loss in Toronto. They take your calls and texts, and get to the offensive performance of the team's biggest bats in Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Anthony Santander. Should they be moved around the order? Does Santander need to bat even lower in the lineup until he starts to heat up? They also discuss the six innings of two-run ball from José Berríos, the strength of the other teams in the AL East, and what the Jays' chances are of making the playoffs with stronger teams in the AL Central. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins sweep the Baltimore Orioles in a three-game set at Camden Yards. The Twins extend their winning streak to 11-straight games, the most done so far in the MLB this year. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson, and the boys are giddy due to the Twins current streak. The guys discuss the unbelievable wins the Twins pulled out against all odds with several guys struggling with injuries and a overly-taxed bullpen. Hoges offers high praise for Rocco for managing to win these games, and David wants to see the Twins recall Randy Dobnak to fill in as a long reliever. David once again romanticizes a Kody Clemens homerun, while Hoges can't stop talking about Willi Castro's great catch in left. David is curious if this is what we can expect out of Chris Paddack moving forward, while Hoges wants to know how many AL Central teams will make the postseason. The guys discuss the recent Hall of Fame voting rules changes, and make their picks for the upcoming Brewers series.

The Cincinnati Reds recently faced the Chicago White Sox in a three-game series from May 13-15, 2025, at home, dropping two of three contests. In the opener, the Reds fell 5-1 in extra innings, managing only six hits against White Sox pitching, with Chicago's Vargas delivering a decisive three-run homer in the 10th. The second game saw Cincinnati lose 4-2, as the White Sox capitalized on solo homers and efficient pitching from Martin, who allowed just one earned run over 6.2 innings. The Reds salvaged the finale, winning 7-1, with a strong offensive outburst, including 12 hits, led by Palacios and Thaiss. However, the Reds' overall struggles were evident, with a .175 batting average and 1-for-26 performance with runners in scoring position across their last three series, scoring only 24 runs in nine games. Looking ahead, the Reds travel to face the Cleveland Guardians for a three-game series starting May 16, 2025. The Guardians, perennial contenders in the AL Central, present a tough challenge with their balanced roster. Cleveland's pitching, led by Tanner Bibee and Shane Bieber (if healthy), could exploit Cincinnati's recent offensive woes. The Reds will rely on their young core—Elly De La Cruz, Matt McLain, and Hunter Greene—to spark the lineup and rotation. Greene's high-velocity fastball could test Cleveland's contact-oriented hitters, but the Reds' bullpen must hold late leads, an issue in the White Sox series. Cincinnati's ability to improve plate discipline and capitalize on scoring opportunities will be critical against Cleveland's stingy defense. Splitting the series would be a positive step for the Reds as they aim to regain momentum in a competitive NL Central race

Cody Decker, former MLB player and host on Sirius XM, joined The Drive to discuss the Royals and the difficulty of their division.

Joe Sheehan joins Eno and DVR to discuss dropping the skepticism around the Tigers as AL Central frontrunners, where credit (and blame) belong with the 2025 Giants, over-performing teams they expect to see fade from the playoff picture over the course of the season, and under-performing teams they believe will find their way into the playoffs. Plus, the lack of top-end results from Jordan Walker despite top-end bat speed, and a few selections for summer breakouts.Rundown5:30 Should We Believe in the Tigers?12:41 The 'Bustarhan' Giants Are Pretty Good21:18 Best Teams Today That Won't Make the Playoffs This Season25:15 Is the Guardians' Pitching Development Fading?30:57 2025 Playoffs Teams with Worst Record on May 13th?39:41 Why Are Teams Reluctant to Make 'Early' Trades?46:12 Jordan Walker: Top-End Bat Speed, Without Top-End Results53:32 Who Is Your Favorite Breakout On Tap This Summer?Follow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.socialFollow DVR on Bluesky: @dvr.bsky.socialFollow Joe on Bluesky: @sheehannewsletter.bsky.sociale-mail: ratesandbarrels@gmail.comJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisWith: Joe SheehanProducer: Brian SmithExecutive Producer: Derek VanRiper Hosted on Acast.

The MLB Pipeline Podcast's division-by-division look at the game's prospects continued this week in the American League Central. Before that, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff dove into the first "market corrections" of the Top 100 and looked at the revised top 15 (led by Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony), biggest risers (including shortstops George Lombard Jr. of the Yankees and Jesus Made of the Brewers) and new additions. Then the gang welcomed in one of the prospects who moved into the updated top 15, Royals slugger Jac Caglianone, before discussing other AL Central prospect standouts like White Sox outfielder Braden Montgomery. The guys talked about some big-name callups to the big leagues -- the Cubs' Cade Horton and Moises Ballesteros as well as the D-backs' Jordan Lawlar -- before answering a Mailbag question about Mariners outfielder Jonny Farmelo.

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.
