Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler take on a focused Thursday card on Cash That Ticket, covering Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference Finals and three all-divisional MLB matchups on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed. The Oklahoma City Thunder arrive in San Antonio holding a 3-2 series lead with Jalen Williams listed as questionable, Ajay Mitchell officially ruled out with a right soleus calf strain, and Thomas Sorber also unavailable, while the Spurs enter with a clean injury report for an elimination game at home. The Spurs open as 3.5-point favorites at a total of 219.5, and both hosts target the under as the primary play. Dave makes the case from Game 5 numbers he considers unsustainable, including OKC shooting 48 percent from three, 70 combined free throws, 26 Spurs fast break points, and 241 total points in a San Antonio loss. He expects the Spurs to slow the pace and play one possession at a time to force a Game 7, while also noting that eight of the last nine Spurs games went over yet this total is the highest they have faced in months. Munaf goes further by also laying the 3.5 points with San Antonio, using Game 4's 103-82 result as his stylistic template, and identifies the first half total of 106.5 as a secondary under spot. On props, Dave targets Stephon Castle at plus 116 for two or more threes made, backed by five-plus attempts in four of his last five games and a Thunder defensive focus on Wembanyama that consistently opens the perimeter for Castle. Munaf backs De'Aaron Fox rebounds plus assists over 9.5 on FanDuel after the number cashed easily in Game 5, and reads Wembanyama as more likely to impact the game through scoring than rebounding given OKC box-out adjustments over the last three games. The baseball card features three 6:35 to 6:40 Eastern divisional matchups. In Baltimore, Patrick Corbin faces Chris Bassitt, who takes on his former team at Camden Yards with a sharp home-road split showing a 3.46 ERA at home against an 8.02 on the road. Dave leans Toronto at the underdog price, while Munaf backs the Orioles and over 8.5, noting Pete Alonso as a home run prop candidate and Corbin's career struggles against Baltimore. In Pittsburgh, Paul Skenes draws the Cubs in a spot where the data runs against his reputation. In four home starts against Chicago, Skenes has never completed five innings, owns a 5.60 ERA, and has allowed 11 earned runs and five home runs in 17.1 innings against Cubs bats. Winds blow out at 13 miles per hour at PNC Park and both hosts back the over 7.5 with the Cubs first five innings money line as a supporting play. The rubber match between Houston and Texas closes the card with Spencer Arrighetti facing Nathan Eovaldi. These starters combined for more than 14 innings and zero runs when they each faced these same opponents roughly two weeks earlier. Dave makes the Astros first five innings plus 0.5 runs at minus 120 his official best bet, keeping Houston's struggling bullpen out of the equation while the half-run cushion protects a tie after five. Munaf takes the first five under, citing Eovaldi's streak of six-plus innings in five straight starts and a seven-inning Astros shutout on May 17th as reasons the total stays low early. Best bets for Thursday are the Astros first five plus 0.5 runs from Dave and Cubs-Pirates over 7.5 from Munaf.

Mat Germain sits down with Blue Jays insider Brent Cardy to break down the state of the Toronto Blue Jays in 2026. The Blue Jays Injury Bug Anthony Santander – out for the year Shane Bieber – June return still possibleJimmy Garcia – facing setbacks in rehabJosé Berríos – forearm fracture, got lit up in rehab startsMax Scherzer Alejandro KirkNathan LukesAddison BargerGeorge Springer New Faces Making an ImpactJesús Sánchez – power against rightiesYohendrick Piñango – strong swing, great at-bats, batting near top of lineupBrandon Valenzuela – switch-handed catcher, big power & a rocket arm, showing some rookie growing painsSpencer Miles – Rule 5 pick from the Giants; threw 3 shutout innings on Mother's Day; Jays now considering him as a rotation optionErik Lauer DFA'd after a rough startSchedule gets harder from here — Yankees (with Gerrit Cole returning), Baltimore, and tougher AL East competition. Brent is cautiously pessimistic but believes the team will eventually get healthy and go on a run.Vladdy, Bo, and the LineupVladimir Guerrero Jr. – only 2 HR's; may be pressing himself under the weight of $500M contract (comparison to Vernon Wells' struggles after his big deal)The loss of Bo Bichette to the Mets has left a voidThe offense tends to hit in bunches (Vladdy, Springer, Okamoto, Varsho) without a reliable anchorFrancisco Lindor Trade? - Shapiro & Atkins have a history with Lindor from their Cleveland daysPossible pieces: Arjun Nimmala, JoJo Parker, Andrés Giménez, Davis Schneider, or Addison BargerMoney coming off the books (Springer, Scherzer) Brent sees the fit — a dynamic switch-hitter is exactly what this lineup needsPitching Depth: Who's Next from AAA? Top candidates from Buffalo to watch:Chad Dallas – back from Tommy John; ~3 ERA in seven startsAustin Voth – waiver pickup, bulk innings guyGrant Rogers – big frame, mid-90s fastball, high release pointRicky Tiedemann – hasn't pitched since 2024, same issues persistingDylan Cease - Strong early returns; going 7 innings in his last two starts. Velocity & command are elite. Brent believes the price tag will look like an underpayRobbie Ray as a Trade TargetWon Cy Young with the Jays in 2021Pairing him with Cease would be a formidable 1-2 in a playoff seriesBrent likes the fit; doesn't expect price tag to be astronomicalBullpenJeff Hoffman – out of the closer role, settling into 7th/8th; velocityLouis Varland – closing; loves his mentality, wants him in the zone moreTyler Rogers – middle reliefMason Fluharty – doing a solid job but playing above his weightJoe Mantiply – veteran add, not a high-impact armSpencer Miles – potential starter, injury history a concernSmall Ball & Jonatan ClaseMat draws parallels between Jonatan Clase & Chandler Simpson (TB Rays) — elite speed and tools, but needs to commit to the fundamentalsBrent agrees the Jays need to play more small ball given the lack of middle-of-the-order powerAll-Star PredictionsJays All-Stars: Vladdy Guerrero Jr. and Dylan CeaseRecord at the All-Star Break: 42–46 (under .500, but still in wild card contention given the weak AL)Follow Brent Cardy with his Blue Jays Breakfast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecardyshowpodcast/
Hawks and United Broadcaster Mike Conti talks about how unexpected the Hawks turnaround since the All Star Break has been, role players stepping into starring roles, how difference the offense has flowed since things started to run through Dyson Daniels, the chances the Hawks would have to advance in the first round of the playoffs, why Jonathan Kuminga is having some issues having a bigger impact, keeping Zaccharie Risacher in a healthy mindset, and the Dan Hurley incident at the end of UConn's win.
Send us Fan MailWith just a few days to go before the season opener, David and Dan discuss the end of the World Baseball Classic, the 2026 rule changes and the final shuffling of the Minnesota Twins roster. Dan thinks the WBC should be moved to an extended All-Star Break; David thinks the rule changes mostly make sense. But the Twins bench and bullpen are still considerable question marks for a team that David and Dan are both hoping will surprise this season.

(00:00-26:04) – Query & Company opens on a Hump Day Wednesday with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison discussing last night’s World Baseball Classic Championship with the United States falling to Venezuela.

(26:04-34:11) – Las Vegas and Seattle are gaining momentum as two potential cities for expansion teams in the NBA. Jake spotlights the history of Seattle with the Supersonics and promotes where you can be tomorrow for the show!

(46:04-1:09:32) – Joel Erickson from the IndyStar joins Query & Company to discuss what the trade value is for Anthony Richardson right now from what he has heard, address Jake’s concern that nobody will acquire Richardson because it would seem the Colts will release him. Jake also brings up a conversation that hasn’t been had about the Indianapolis Colts since the passing of Jim Irsay, what is the future of the Colts in Indianapolis? (1:09:32-1:22:41) – The Indiana Pacers lost their 15th consecutive game last night, remaining the only team that has yet to win since the All-Star Break. Jake and Eddie highlight a couple takeaways from the game and wonder how different the Pacers could look stylistically next season with pairing Ivica Zubac with Tyrese Haliburton and, hopefully, their first round draft pick.

(1:56:38-2:09:02) – Jake and Eddie recap the ending of the Ohio State and TCU game because with the way it ended, it seemed like the Buckeyes weren’t prepared for a moment like that. Jake goes through some of the last second shots that we talk about frequently because they all had one thing in common in Jake’s perspective. (2:09:02-2:13:07) – Today’s show closes out with JMV joining Jake from Union Jack Pub to preview his show!Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/query-and-company/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On deck: (3:39) I had to take a second to discuss about the Blizzard of 2026 in NYC as we have to dig out of another storm before we get to the month of March. (5:04) The USA Men's Hockey Team did it. They won their first gold medal since the Miracle on Ice back in 1980, defeating Canada 2-1 in OT. Despite the win, there's a bit of a stain in my eyes as to how it was won, which quite a few people share the same sentiment. I'll also put a bow on the Olympic Games as it wrapped up last night, with the next stop in France four years from now. (18:58) That'll lead me into the hockey as the season will resume on Wednesday.

The host's begin the show by discussing who is in their top 5 as far as player rankings for the following positions: Quarterback, Wide Receiver, Running Back, Cornerback, and Defensive End. We had a deep discussion regarding why certain players were ranked where they were, the things we took into consideration when ranking the top 5 players and their production level that caused them to be apart of the top 5. We proceeded to discuss the winner of the Super Bowl and if this win marks the new start of a dynasty and if the current QB play changed your mind on the patience you should have when developing QB's. In college basketball, we discussed the injury bug that UNC has been facing, we discussed if Darius Acuff Jr. is the best point guard Coach Cal has coached, and we discussed what has been going on with top NBA prospect Darryn Peterson. In the NBA, with teams returning this week from the All Star Break, we discussed things were looking forward to in the NBA as far as teams and certain prime time players. We then closed the show with our CSN Overreaction Segment, and our CSN Overtime Segment. As always we appreciate the support, please continue to like, subscribe, share and view the content.
We are BACK after a quick break (sure, let's say it's Olympic related, why not), and we once again delve into all things Philadelphia Sports. Whether the public demands it or not!First - we almost live looked in at the Sixers v the Hawks after the All Star Break. And things are...not yet up to game speed for the Sixers. Maxey is starting to plateau out, PG is still suspended, Embiid has a thing with a body part...but VJ wins MVP of the Rising Stars game! That last part is really the only good news. Maybe we shoulda kept Jared McCain. I refuse to look up his solid stats and minutes played on his new team lol.NEXT - we compare the seemingly similar strife striking squads situation in South Philly. The Phils have a Dombrowski / Harper problem, and the Eagles kinda have an overall AJ Brown problem. We discuss the similarities between to the two - is it really about questionable leadership on the coaching / GM side? Or is it just entitled diva season from the players end of things? Man, I just hope we hang on to these two anchor players, because we need em if we are gonna continue our winning ways.We promise to be more upbeat next week - if the NEWS ALLOWS IT TO BE.Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back at it after a less-than-festive All Star Break where the state of the league address by Adam Silver left one of our hosts pessimistic, to say the least. The tanks are already rolling out before we reached the All-Star Game, but is it forcing the league's hand to consider drastic changes or sit idly by while the playoff standings stay in idle? Why is Andrew so intrigued in this particular season by the Most Improved Award race with such a deep pool? Adam also discusses the very real possibility of third or fourth options winning MVP and All-NBA honors by default due to DNP's by superstars. So suit up and take it out in episode 379 with the NBA-Team!
The team took the week off with the All-Star Break, but we didn't want to leave you unfed, so Bibs sat down with a friend to discuss both a league and a phenomenon that is occurring in Europe right now. Adam Silver and the league have been promoting NBA Europe during the All-Star Weekend, so I wanted to get a perspective on this upcoming league from someone in Europe. We also discussed the trend of lower-half-of-the-bench NBA players choosing bigger roles in Europe over being a role player or bench player in the NBA. The money gap has shrunk, so players who actually want to play can do so.

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley kick off today’s show discussing the unique season the Nuggets have had as they head into the All-Star Break with a win over Memphis. Phillip Lindsay had a surprisingly fantasy football take from a guy who played the game, advocating a trade for a well-known locker room cancer, Mike and Stoke explain why this trade would be a terrible idea. Mike and Stoke try to pin down what the Nuggets are at this point in the season after all of the games they’ve gone without their full starting five. Mike and Stoke look ahead to the NFL free agency, coming up with a game plan for the Broncos to get over the top.
Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley without Mark Schlereth open the fourth hour recapping a Nuggets win before the All-Star Break and they break down what the Nuggets need to do to stay healthy for the home stretch of the season if they want to make a Finals run. They talk about some good old sports hate, like the the way Stoke feels about Stink right now or the way many Avalanche fans feel about Mikko Rantanen after Team Finland’s shocking loss. Has Mikko entered the Melo Zone? They chat about some Olympic hockey, fighting, plunking the batter, and Joey Porter airing out some of Big Ben’s dirty laundry. Mike and Stoke cap off today’s show discussing Stink’s squatting rights on the second chair before Mike tells the story of the deep-fried cheeseburger.

In the final meeting of the regular season, the Hornets took care of business against the Hawks 110-107, despite missing Moussa Diabate and Miles Bridges, who were suspended for four games earlier in the day. Sam Farber and Rob Longo break down the game and pick their favorite performances of the night, and also take a look at the standings and question how high Charlotte can climb after the All-Star Break.
As the Hornets have one more contest before the All-Star Break, Sam Farber is joined by Mirin Fader, Senior Writer at The Athletic, who recently wrote an in-depth piece on Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel. The two also preview Charlotte's final showdown against Atlanta in the regular season.
Grizzlies only scored 15 points last night in a loss at Golden State, Jazz sat their best players in the 4th quarter again, and there are multiple stories out about NBA teams tanking and we aren't to the All-Star Break yet...due to up to 10 teams tanking, Chris says this will be the last year of the current lottery format and also says the NBA will tweak the ability to protect picks in future NBA Drafts (9:47). Next we talk about the brawl last night in the Pistons/Hornets game, Isaiah Stewart running on the court with ice packs on his knees, Miles Bridges ability to dodge Beef Stew's punch, us not realizing Moussa Diabate had that in him, Jalen Duren, the suspensions that will follow and then we'll take the Pistons off the board....who is the next team you would want in an NBA Royal Rumble? (40:45) After that we'll try to see if we've heard of the people participating in the NBA Celebrity Game this weekend in Los Angeles (1:10:04).
