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.

A new Great Talk for a new year- we cover Mizzou bowl loss, Simmons transfer, NIL $ regulations, Arenado trade + HOF future, Blues up and down, NHL players in the Olympics and more. Listen here thanks to Lou Fusz Automotive group:

The Cardinals offseason continues quietly, with not a ton of trade action ramping up. Rumors remain though, so is Nolan Arenado headed to the Angels? Is a Brendan Donovan trade guaranteed this offseason? Will the Cardinals move on from some more under-the-radar names this year like Matthew Liberatore?

Chaim Bloom joins Tom Ackerman to discuss the St. Louis Cardinals' offseason approach, fan engagement during winter events, and the impact of the newly upgraded spring training complex in Jupiter. Bloom addresses the trade market, starting pitching depth, and the ongoing situation with Nolan Arenado, while outlining a long-term vision focused on development, smart roster fits, and sustainable success for the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Brendan Donovan trade saga takes center stage as the Cardinals slow-play their best asset, hoping to turn patience into a real prospect haul while the market shifts around them. We break down why Contreras moved first, how Arizona's Ketel Marte situation could reshape Donovan's value, and where teams like the Mariners, Giants, and Red Sox fit in.
