Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler closed out the February schedule on the Cash That Ticket podcast with another winning recap, noting a 2-0 night on Thursday and a combined 19-5 run in best bets for the month, including a perfect 7-0 week to that point. They revisited Manji's Pelicans team total over 123.5 and Essler's Derrick Jones Jr. points prop over 10.5, highlighting lineup news that helped the play and Jones Jr. leading the Clippers with 18 points. The Friday NBA discussion opened with Cleveland at Detroit, a short slate night, where both hosts leaned toward taking the points with the Cavaliers despite Donovan Mitchell being ruled out. Essler cited market movement toward Cleveland and suggested expectations that James Harden and Dennis Schroeder would play, while noting Cleveland's interior defense could blunt Detroit's paint scoring and force more jump shooting. Manji agreed, emphasizing Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen as rim protection anchors, calling the number a stretch for Detroit, and adding an under lean at 227.5 alongside Cleveland plus the points. The second featured matchup was Denver at Oklahoma City, with the Thunder favored by 8.5 and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returning after missing time. Essler acknowledged the “OKC tax” but sided with Denver's value as a road underdog, referencing recent outright wins and competitive results in similar spots, and leaned under, arguing Oklahoma City's defense should hold even if offensive timing was imperfect. Manji also took the points, describing division familiarity and motivation, and pointed to Nikola Jokic rebound and assist related props as potential angles, especially if Jamal Murray were unavailable. The episode then shifted to MLB win totals, starting with Cleveland's 79.5. Essler praised the Guardians' manager and prior overachievement on a low payroll, but argued the roster could regress, questioning the rotation depth behind Gavin Williams and the lineup's run production, and leaning under as other AL Central teams improved. Manji echoed concerns, saying Cleveland's offense has often lagged, that last season's division outcome owed partly to Detroit's stumble, and that the win total could be tight but tilted under. They followed with Arizona's 79.5, where Essler leaned under again, citing pitching uncertainty without Corbin Burns until midseason, concerns about bullpen reliability, and skepticism that additions like Nolan Arenado and Carlos Santana would be enough, especially with age and recent production trends. Manji countered with an over, arguing a change of scenery could help Arenado, that the lineup had recognizable depth, and that Arizona could stay competitive long enough to benefit from Burns returning and possible in-season pitching upgrades. The show delivered a promo code for pregame.com, FastBreak20, for 20 percent off through March 8, and discussed the value of longer-term packages over daily buying given natural variance. For best bets, Essler went with Cameron Johnson over 18.5 PRA in the Denver-OKC game, citing elevated minutes and potential opportunity depending on Murray's status, while Manji backed Boston Celtics first half minus 10.5 versus Brooklyn, citing Boston's bounce-back profile after losses and Brooklyn's back-to-back road situation. They wrapped by reiterating disciplined bankroll management and their focus on providing serious, vetted information even in a free format. Learn more about your ad choices.

For the first edition of Sharing Sox since baseball has made a 2026 appearance, duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and west coast correspondent, Will, marvel at the 19-3 run differential in the first two spring games for the White Sox. Then they go into the good possibilities (Munetaka Murakami, middle infield and catcher), the bad (outfield) and the possibly awful (starting pitching), wending their way through names and skills (or lack thereof). The conclusion? The AL Central is going to be so absolutely horrible except for the Tigers that ... well, will keep you in suspense on that. Plus, they take a look at the very crowded middle infield situation ... especially down the road apiece ... and decide who is best just cut loose to seek his fortune elsewhere. Or to maybe, possibly, with a whole lot of luck, bring back an outfielder. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Detroit Tigers fans, the "rebuild" is officially a thing of the past. In one of the most explosive weeks in franchise history, the Tigers have solidified a rotation that isn't just the best in the AL Central—it might be the best in baseball.In this episode of Buffed Up Sports, I break down the two massive moves that have shifted the MLB landscape:⚾ Tarik Skubal's Historic PaydayTarik Skubal didn't just win his arbitration case; he broke the bank. By being awarded $32 million, Skubal has set the record for the highest arbitration salary in MLB history. I discuss the massive $13 million gap between the team and the player and what this means for a long-term extension in Detroit.⚾ The Framber Valdez BlockbusterThe Tigers landed their second ace by signing Framber Valdez to a 3-year, $115 million deal. At a staggering $38.33 million AAV, Valdez is now the highest-paid left-handed pitcher per year in the history of the game.⚾  Is it World Series or bust for Detroit in 2026Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and hit the BELL to stay Buffed Up on all things Detroit sports!Comment Below: Does this rotation make the Tigers the favorites to win the World Series this year?

The hot stove finally cools down as the Detroit Tigers sign ace pitcher Framber Valdez to a massive 3-year, $111 million deal. Tiki and Evan debate whether this move makes Detroit a legitimate World Series contender or if they are simply capitalizing on a weak AL Central—and how they stack up against the New York Yankees in a potential playoff series. Then, the results are in for the show's MLB Free Agency Bingo. After months of tracking, a winner is crowned (spoiler: it's Tiki), while Tommy finishes dead last. The guys also pivot to a bizarre history lesson, discussing Robert Todd Lincoln's uncanny proximity to three presidential assassinations and the irony of the man who saved his life.

The Tigers cement themselves as the team to beat in the AL Central after giving Framber Valdez a 3-Year, $115M deal. -Valdez Reaction, DET Rotation -Red Sox Sign IKF -White Sox Bidets -Family Feud -Pirates Sign Urquidy -Super Bowl Use promo code “Jared” to get up to $1000 in bonus credits AND a special pick on Underdog! PLAY HERE: https://play.underdogfantasy.com/pc-d2PyPbHAPu This episode of Baseball Is Dead is sponsored by BetterHelp.

In this special "Days of Roar" bonus episode, Evan Petzold welcomes USA TODAY Sports MLB columnist and insider Bob Nightengale to recap MLB's Winter Meetings in Orlando. Evan and Bob discuss the biggest storyline of the 2025-26 offseason: Will the Detroit Tigers trade Tarik Skubal, and if not, where will the back-to-back American League Cy Young winner sign after the 2026 season — with 10 years, $450 million as the expectation? Do the Tigers have a chance to sign Alex Bregman if his market collapses again, or is he destined to return to the Boston Red Sox, even on another short-term contract? At the Winter Meetings, Kyle Schwarber signed with the Philadelphia Phillies, Edwin Díaz signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pete Alonso signed with the Baltimore Orioles. What happens to free-agent position players such as Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, Bo Bichette, and what about free-agent pitchers like Framber Valdez, Tatsuya Imai and Ranger Suarez? For more on the Tigers, Evan and Bob discuss the chances of the Tigers winning the AL Central in 2026 — and what moves the Tigers need to have a chance to win the World Series.

Fantasy Baseball Live – November 9, 2025 – 3:00 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segment 1 – News and Notes1.Munetaka Murakami was officially posted over the weekend and has 45 days to sign.a.Give us a scouting reportb.Where are the best landing spots for him?2.The Rockies change leadership at the top, bringing in long-time executive Paul DePosta, who most recently was head of strategy for the Cleveland Browns of the NFL. I got to know him a bit in that role, and he's a super-smart, thoughtful guy, but I worry the Rockies are a “bridge too far” for anyone.a.Your thoughts?3.The Rays decline the $11 million option on Pete Fairbanks, and he is now a free agent.a.Of course they did. Fairbanks was solid, bordering on elite in 2025, with 27 saves and a 2.83 ERA.i.Who does he sign with?ii.And more importantly, who is the closer in Tampa?4.Shane Bieber surprises by exercising his option, staying with the Blue Jays.a.He turned down a huge payday to stay with the Blue Jays. Is there a long-term deal in the making?5.Trevor Story is staying put in Bostona.After his huge season in 2025, where he hit 25 home runs and stole 31 bases, is he a safe bet for a number #1 shortstop in 2026, or are you going to bypass him in drafts given his injury history?6.The Orioles acquire Andrew Kittredge, and I'm assuming he will be their closer with Felix Bautista missing the 2026 season.a.He's a Top _____________ closer for you in 2026Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the AL Central – Tigers, Royals, and TwinsDetroit Tigers1.When do we see Kevin McGonigle? – July 15a.Stat line for 2026 – AB, HR, BA – 240 AB, 10 HR, .265 BA2.Spencer Torkelson has had 31 home runs in the past three years, with a 10-home-run clunker in the middle. The even/odd theory says expect a tough season. The data says he has above-average exit velo, but a huge leverage swing to reach his power, and too many strikeouts (26%).a.What say you?3.Casey Mize finally had a solid season after going 1:1 in 2018. He posted a 3.87 ERA (xERA 3.69) but with only an 8.4 strikeout rate. a.Mize is a top ___________ pitcher.b.Where will you be interested if he falls in drafts, or will you?4.Will Vest get at least 25 saves next season – true or false?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Kansas City Royals1.Bobby Witt hit the ball harder in 2025 with an elite exit velo of 93.3 MPH with the same launch angle, yet he only hit 23 home runs. That makes no sense to me.a.I'm expecting 30+ home runs next season. What say you?2.Carter Jensen is my #1 prospect in the Royals system. Sal Perez is on a team-friendly 13.5 million contract extension. How many at-bats do you see Jensen getting?a.Is he someone who interests you?3.Jack Caglianonea.Stat line for 2026 – AB, HR, BA – 32 HRs, .195 BA4.Cole Ragans didn't live up to his lofty draft slot, but also spent three months on the IL. He still managed to strike out 98 in 61.2 innings. Do you still see him as #1 pitcher? Do you think you can get a discount on him at the draft table?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Minnesota Twins1.True or False - Byron Buxton will be over-drafted in 2026?2.Royce Lewis somewhat stayed healthy – playing in a career high 106 games. The power wasn't there though as he only hit 13 home runs and a .388 SLG. He still hits the ball hard enough with plenty of loft to project at least 20 to 25 home runs.a.Do we see a bit of a bounce back?b.Does it matter because we know he's going to get hurt?3.Pablo Lopez has two years remaining on his four-year deal with $21.75 million per season. Is he a Twin to start the season?a.If not, where does he go?4.Zebby Matthews – sigha.Stat line for 2026 – IP, wins, K's, and ERA.5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Close

Thoughts on him going into the season?4.Jordan Leasure is supposedly going to be the closer. Who is your next in line?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Cleveland Guardians1.Roster Resource is showing George Valera and Chase DeLauter. Who has the best chance of staying there on opening day?2.Bo Naylor has not been very good. He did hit 14 home runs in 2025, but also hit .195.

A voiceless Andy joins Brendan! for a Monday morning recording that opens with an all-time story about stolen groceries and freezing ground turkey that isn't yours. After they unpack the unpacking of someone's fridge, the two discuss the latest young winner in pro golf, Michael Brennan. Brennan, the top player on the PGA Tour Americas this year, will skip the Korn Ferry Tour after his runaway win at the Bank of Utah Championship. Andy and Brendan commend Brennan for his performance off-the-tee and note that the venue of Black Desert allowed for the top player to separate from the pack and cruise to a win on Sunday. PJ shares an amusing note from the broadcast that may get some Halloween costume ideas flowing after hearing that Brennan dressed up as Rickie Fowler as a kid. Elsewhere in golf, Steven Alker is the new "Mr. October" AND the new Schwab Cup No. 1 after a big win at the Simmons Bank Championship. Brendan tuned in for some banter between Zinger and Tommy Gainey, who did just enough to secure a place in the Schwab Cup finals and full status for 2026. Andy has some takeaways from watching some late-night International Crown and flags that a former Ryder Cup player is coming for a spot at Adare Manor after this week's DP World Tour event. Fifa Laopakdee won the Asia-Pacific Am, scoring an invite to next year's Masters. ANGC Chairman Fred Ridley spoke at the event and condemned the Ryder Cup fan behavior, which segued nicely into a unsubstantiated rumor about everyone's favorite PGA of America leader. In other news, DJ has re-upped with the 4Aces after his glowing comments about LIV last week and TGL's LAGC got some new investment from an AL Central ownership group that's been reportedly lowballing their Cy Young Award winner. Our annual Halloween costumes episode will be out Wednesday, so submit your ideas to sgsgolfadvice@gmail.com now!

First title since 2015! Alex Cora talked after the Red Sox made the postseason. He said no one believed in them. Hmm. (37:00) The Guardians did it. They won the AL Central. How? 15.5 games back!
