SEGMENT - Arcand reacts to the latest from Red Sox Spring Training as the WBC winds down and the Sox turn their attention to Opening Day in Cincinnati.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Friday's Cash That Ticket episode on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed moved across several betting markets, with Munaf Manji and Dave Essler touching on college basketball, MLB futures, NFL offseason movement, and Friday best bets. The tone opened with some frustration after both hosts dropped their Thursday selections, but they framed it as a bump in a strong recent run and turned quickly toward Friday's card. Essler also shared details from a long volunteer shift at The Players Championship, describing the physical toll of a full day on his feet in the rain, while also reflecting on the contrast between players who treated volunteers and fans with appreciation and those who did not. He highlighted Ben Griffin and Eric Cole for thanking volunteers, and noted Patton Kizzire and Nicolai Hojgaard for handing balls to kids during tournament play. On the betting side, the MLB discussion centered on the Toronto Blue Jays. Manji noted Toronto's 94 win season, AL East title, strong home record, World Series appearance, and current win total in the 87.5 to 88.5 range. Essler said he was higher on Toronto than the market, arguing the club had strengthened its pitching despite losing Chris Bassitt, pointing to additions including Dylan Cease and other offseason moves. He questioned why the team was being priced several wins lower than last season and said he liked the over on the win total. Manji agreed, citing Vladimir Guerrero Jr., roster depth, front office aggression, and the organization's willingness to spend and make in season upgrades. He said Toronto could reach 90 wins again and backed the over 88.5. The conversation then shifted to NFL win totals and quarterback changes. Atlanta drew attention after Tua Tagovailoa joined the Falcons on a one year deal. Manji framed the move as a fresh start for a quarterback whose availability has been a recurring issue, and asked whether Atlanta could clear a 7.5 win total with new coach Kevin Stefanski, Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts in place. Essler was skeptical, raising concerns about Tagovailoa's durability, Atlanta's ceiling at quarterback, and whether Stefanski's reputation exceeds the results. He said everything would need to break right for the Falcons to get to eight wins, though he conceded the division leaves room for a team to outperform modest expectations. Manji leaned under 7.5, saying the number likely comes down to health and whether Tagovailoa can hold up for a full season. The Minnesota Vikings were also discussed after signing Kyler Murray. Manji argued that Murray was an upgrade and could benefit from Kevin O'Connell's offensive approach, even if the fit still comes with questions. Essler pushed back harder, saying Arizona's willingness to move on spoke loudly and questioning whether Murray matches what Minnesota wants to do offensively. He also noted uncertainty at quarterback overall and said the Vikings' finish last season looked less impressive under closer inspection. Both hosts leaned under Minnesota's 8.5 win total, with Essler saying the team was still moving in the wrong direction from where it stood a few years earlier. To close the show, the hosts gave out Friday best bets. Essler went with the under in Timberwolves Warriors, saying recent high scoring Minnesota games would drive an overreaction in the market and create value on a lower total in a matchup he expected to play slower. Manji backed the Pacers plus 13.5 against the Knicks, citing Indiana's recent competitiveness in the series and what he described as a growing rivalry between the teams. Essler also added a bonus bet on Kennesaw State plus 3.5. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Cash That Ticket opened Tuesday's show with a full sports slate, from conference tournament college basketball to MLB win totals, NBA matchups and early NFL free agency. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler quickly moved into the NBA, starting with Boston at San Antonio, where both leaned toward the Spurs in what Munaf called a strong measuring stick game. He also preferred the under, pointing to both teams ranking among the league's best in defensive rating and Boston's season long tendency to play at the slowest pace in the NBA. Essler agreed San Antonio's form and motivation made the favorite appealing, especially if Boston were short handed. The second featured game was Minnesota at the Lakers. Essler liked the under and said the Lakers can still bring a strong defensive effort without LeBron James, while also noting Austin Reaves becomes more aggressive in that setup. Munaf took the Timberwolves side, arguing the Lakers had benefitted from a softer stretch and adding that Anthony Edwards looked live for a big scoring night, with his preferred prop range around 29.5 to 30.5 points. From there the show shifted to baseball and continued its season win total series. On Baltimore, both hosts landed on under 85.5 wins. Essler said the lineup should still score, especially with Pete Alonso added to the middle of the order, but he remained unconvinced the Orioles solved their larger pitching problems. Munaf agreed, saying the offense was good enough on paper but the rotation still lacked the frontline reliability needed in a difficult AL East. Detroit brought a different conclusion. Both hosts backed the Tigers over 85.5 wins, largely because of a rotation headed by Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez. Essler said Detroit may have the best pitching staff in the American League on paper and believed the club could push toward 90 wins or more if it stayed healthy. Munaf echoed that view, pointing to the bullpen, managerial stability under A.J. Hinch and the possibility that either Jack Flaherty or Casey Mize could emerge in a big way behind the front end of the staff. The conversation then turned to a listener question about five players who could hit 30 home runs this season. Essler said the obvious names were easy enough to find and suggested looking for value with less obvious sluggers. Munaf highlighted Kyle Tucker at minus 120 and Jose Ramirez at plus 110, citing lineup context, durability and prior production. Essler later called Hunter Goodman of the Rockies his favorite value play at even money after a 31 homer full season. They also discussed Mike Trout as a high upside but health dependent option. For best bets, Essler went to college basketball and took Detroit plus 4.5 against Wright State, citing momentum, matchup history and possible fatigue on the other side after a high tempo game. Munaf stayed in the NBA and made Suns Bucks over 217.5 his top play, saying the number looked light given Milwaukee's recent defensive issues and the offensive talent expected to be on the floor. The show closed with another reminder about Pregame's current promotion, where ten dollars buys fifty bulk dollars under the site's special discounts section, with the credit available immediately and not expiring.

What kind of grade do the guys give Baltimore for their offseason including signing Pete Alonso?

In a high-energy Thursday morning appearance on Sid Rosenberg's show, WFAN icon Joe Beningo joins from New Jersey to discuss the latest in New York sports. He opens with light-hearted jabs about his recent media feud with Mayor Zohran Mamdani before diving into the good news: warmer weather ahead to end a brutal winter. Beningo expresses strong support for President Trump's actions on Iran, citing decades of unaddressed attacks on Americans, while acknowledging some Republican criticism. Turning to sports, he mourns the recent passing of coaching legend Lou Holtz (who coached the disastrous 1976 Jets season), reminisces about college basketball's glory days before NIL and one-and-dones "ruined" it, and debates the Knicks' status as a solid but not elite Eastern Conference team (predicting 50+ wins, a first-round playoff victory, but no championship). He rips the officiating in their recent loss to OKC but urges fans to relax—the regular season is just seeding. On the Jets, Beningo shows cautious optimism in new GM moves (like franchising Breece Hall) but low confidence in head coach Aaron Glenn, suggesting a stopgap QB this year and a real franchise prospect in the stacked 2027 draft class. For the Mets, he laments losing Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, questions the bullpen (especially Devin Williams), but sees contender potential with improved starting pitching and hitters like Juan Soto and Bo Bichette—if they don't make the playoffs, manager Carlos Mendoza and GM David Stearns could be out. He gives the Yankees a strong nod for their rotation (led by a healthy Gerrit Cole) and playoff lock, though the loaded AL East and Dodgers' dominance temper World Series hopes. Beningo closes by predicting a potential lengthy MLB lockout over salary cap issues, urging fans to enjoy 2026 while it lasts. Full of signature passion, honesty ("let's be honest"), and New York grit, it's classic Joe Beningo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

HR1 - Arcand dives into Red Sox roster projections and where major outlets see the Sox finishing in the AL East. One thing is clear the Sox have one of the best rotations in the sport, but a rather lackluster offense, leading Arcand to ask, what would you rather have an elite offense and middling pitching or vice versa? Arcand discusses some comments from Mike Vrabel at the NFL Scouting Combine including some about his former player, Eagles WR AJ Brown. Is Brown a legitimate possibility for the Patriots?

Rob and Jeremy took some time from Friday's BBMS to discuss the impact that Jordan Westburg's potential absence could mean for the O's playoff hopes. Do you still see them as contenders to take the AL East without Westy?

“The day where the Red Sox spend like the Dodgers or Phillies is not coming," says WEEI's Christian Arcand. Where do you think they'll finish in what may shape up to be a highly-competitive AL East?

They also break down Canada's narrow semi-final win over Switzerland in the Olympic women's hockey tournament, highlighted by a hobbled Marie-Philip Poulin, and preview the Gold medal matchup against the United States. The discussion wraps with a look at the men's tournament bracket and the preferred path to the final.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 a textFirst it was #Mets Francisco Lindor who came up with the 'hamate' bone problem on his left (glove) hand. It bothers players when swinging the bat as the bone rests on the knob of the bat.  Lindor had surgery last week as did Jackson Holliday of the #Orioles and Corbin Carroll of the #D'backs.  The latter two will miss the start of the 2026 #MLB season but Lindor may make it for Opening Day since the injury is not to his throwing hand unlike the others.  Injuries a sadly a part of Spring Training. With the WBC starting in early March managing player health is trickier this year.  #Brewers Caleb Durbin who finished 3rd in the NL Rookie of the Year race in 2025 was shipped to the #Red Sox and we wondered what Milwaukee was thinking! We also talk about the impact ballparks play on a hitter's home run rate. Brandon Lowe may have a problem now that he's a Pittsburgh #Pirates player. PNC Park is notoriously bad for home run hitters as are several of the NL Central parks. This is in contrast to the parks in the AL East where Lowe played for the #Rays last season. Check out the podcast and next week we will have Tom Stone of Beyond the Box Score join us!Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Boston Red Sox shake up the rotation behind ace Garrett Crochet who was named Opening Day starter. Can the new pitching additions propel the Sox back to contender status? Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian analyzes the Red Sox's offseason moves—highlighting Ranger Suarez's playoff pedigree, Sonny Gray's potential, and tough choices for the fifth starter among Johan Oviedo and Kutter Crawford. The episode covers Alex Bregman's surprising departure for the Cubs, the acquisition of Caleb Durbin and Willson Contreras, and the team's reliance on young talents like Marcelo Mayer, Wilyer Abreu, and Jarren Duran. Defensive upgrades and run manufacturing strategies come into focus, but will the lineup's lack of power undermine a playoff push in a loaded AL East? Don't miss this spirited breakdown of Boston's strengths, lingering concerns, and high-stakes battles as Red Sox spring training sparks renewed hope.

With pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring Training, Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are back! They discuss what to expect from a post-Bo Bichette Blue Jays lineup, how Kazuma Okamoto's production in Japan will translate to the MLB level, and why the bullpen is still the biggest weakness heading into the 2026 regular season. Then, they get into José Berríos's role for the Jays moving forward, Toronto's standing in a much-improved AL East, and whether there's cause for concern over the number of Jays participating in the World Baseball Classic.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.

Evan and Tiki react to Brian Cashman's media session and the line that set Yankee fans off: the idea the Yankees are not “running it back.” Is he right, just terrible at saying it, or both? The guys debate whether last year's trade deadline basically was the Yankees' offseason, what's still missing without a true Soto replacement, and how the team should handle Anthony Volpe's rehab and role when he returns. Then the calls roll in, from prospect trade debates and “go get a bat” arguments, to a Mets tangent on Eugenio Suárez vs. giving Mark Vientos one last runway. Hour wraps with Knicks trade chatter and Mikal Bridges' brutally honest “entitlement” quote as Giannis rumors hang in the background.
