Astros vs Giants Monday recap Dov Kleiman's tweet about CJ Stroud Thoughts on the Texans unofficial depth chart? Will the Texans win higher or lower than 9.5 games?

Hour 1

Cam Smith ties the game for the Astros to go into extras + Reaction to Texans Practice.

Toronto Blue Jays starter Jameson Taillon exited Monday's outing with right forearm discomfort. Corey Pieper breaks down a major wave of pitching injuries, key roster updates, the daily Bullpen Report, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The injury and news wire moves fast as Jameson Taillon exits early with forearm discomfort, Devin Williams lands on the injured list with a shoulder strain, and Geraldo Perdomo deals with knee soreness. On the transaction side, former All-Star Tim Anderson announces his retirement, Zack Littell signs with the Diamondbacks for relief duties, and the Braves release Jorge Mateo, while fantasy rosters receive boosts with Zack Gelof and Mike Soroka activated, and Adley Rutschman expected back Tuesday. On the diamond, daily standouts in the studs column feature Dean Kremer, Austin Martin, Josh Bell, Kyle Schwarber, Andrew Painter, Jac Caglianone, Jackson Merrill, Logan Henderson, Jacob Lopez, Freddy Peralta, Cam Smith, and Nolan Arenado. Conversely, notable struggles in the duds category include Dylan Beavers going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, Kaelen Culpepper finishing 0-for-4 with four punchouts, Bryan Reynolds going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts despite a walk and a run scored, Bryce Elder, Brandon Marsh, Gabriel Hughes, and Noah Cameron matching up against Tarik Skubal. The daily Bullpen Report analyzes high-leverage late-inning situations around the league, breaking down Paul Sewald's DFA in Arizona, Hogan Harris taking over leverage for the Athletics, Kodai Senga stepping into ninth-inning save situations for the Mets with Devin Williams sidelined, late-inning chaos following Rico Garcia's blowup with Tyler Wells and Yennier Cano in Baltimore, Edwin Diaz locking down a save, Steven Cruz in Kansas City, Ben Joyce and Sammy Natera in Anaheim, and an unsettled closing picture in San Francisco.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. Munaf Manji runs the Monday, August 10 edition of Cash That Ticket on his own, with Dave Essler away handling personal matters and expected back Tuesday, when the show will also tackle the next NFL win total as preseason opens this week. Munaf opens with an honest look at a rough recent stretch for baseball wagering, both on the podcast and for his clients on Pregame.com, pointing to Sunday's setback as the latest example. He had backed the Brewers at minus one and a half with Jacob Misiorowski on the mound, only to watch Kody Clemens hit a two run home run that tied the game and forced extra innings. Milwaukee won outright but the run line ticket fell short. Friday's Best Bet podcast fared better, cashing on the Cleveland Guardians moneyline with Parker Messick starting. Munaf also touches on the Dodgers, who snapped a losing streak over the weekend only to fall again on Sunday against the Diamondbacks, where Eduardo Rodriguez worked seven strong innings against a Los Angeles offense he calls shockingly quiet given the roster's talent. From there, Munaf runs his weekly standings check, noting the Rays hold a five and a half game lead over the Yankees in the American League East while the Red Sox slide to seven games back after dropping their weekend series to the Athletics. The White Sox lead the Tigers by three and a half games in the AL Central, and the AL West sits as the league's tightest race, with the Astros up half a game on the Rangers and the Mariners four back in a division where every team carries a negative run differential. In the National League, the Braves hold an eight and a half game lead over the Phillies, the Brewers are up five and a half on the Cubs, and the Dodgers remain seven and a half games clear of the Diamondbacks despite their recent stumble. Munaf then works through five matchups on the Monday card. Sonny Gray and the Red Sox visit Jameson Taillon and the Blue Jays, with Gray's strong road and night splits pushing Munaf toward Boston on the moneyline despite a rocky recent history against this Toronto lineup. Christian Scott and Bryce Elder headline Mets at Braves, where a surging Mets offense and warm, carrying conditions in Atlanta have Munaf leaning to the over. Andrew Painter continues to scuffle for the Phillies against Hunter Dobbins and the Cardinals, and with a bullpen Munaf calls putrid over the last month, he leans to the over, whether through the first five innings or the full game. Logan Henderson gets the assignment for the Brewers against Casey Mize and the Padres, and between Henderson's dominant recent form and a Sunday Night Baseball fade trend that favors Milwaukee, Munaf names this his best bet of the show, the Brewers moneyline at minus 115. Blade Tidwell makes just his second career start for the Giants opposite Hayden Wesneski and the Astros, and rather than lay heavy juice on a shorthanded Houston lineup, Munaf leans to the over. He credits Yordan Alvarez with carrying the top of the Astros order while Jose Altuve works through a down year, with Jeremy Peña, Cam Smith, and Daulton Varsho all contributing. Before wrapping, Munaf previews tonight's marquee pitching matchup, Tarik Skubal for the Dodgers against Noah Cameron and the Royals, calling it the best chance yet for a struggling Los Angeles offense to turn things around given Skubal's strong recent history against Kansas City. Munaf closes with a reminder about the Pregame.com Bulk Dollars promotion, twenty dollars for one hundred Bulk Dollars that can be spent like cash across any best bet package and never expires, even though the promotion window itself closes at midnight tonight. He signs off hoping Dave Essler returns Tuesday and that the next episode arrives with a winning best bet already in hand, wishing listeners good luck with their bets and encouraging them to enjoy the games.

The Athletic's Chandler Rome joined The A-Team with Adam Clanton and Adam Wexler on Friday to discuss the Astros' soft upcoming schedule, the moves he liked at the trade deadline, and Daulton Varsho's role with the team. Rome noted that while Varsho has been an average hitter, the Astros believe he can improve offensively. The fact that he has been hitting cleanup says a lot about how the Astros view him. They don't necessarily need Varsho to be a difference-maker; they need him to be a calming, established presence. Rome also shared his thoughts on Cam Smith's long-term future, saying the young outfielder could eventually become a monster. He compared the situation to Jeremy Peña, noting that it feels like the Astros were having this same conversation about Peña a few years ago.

Top prospect shortstop Joshua Kuroda-Grauer made a stunning major league debut for the Athletics, racking up three hits in his first game. Corey Pieper breaks down high-impact rookie promotions, crucial injury wire shifts, the daily Bullpen Report, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Roster adjustments are flooding the transaction wire as Tyler Soderstrom, Jacob Wilson, and Jeremy Pena are all headed to the injured list, while Addison Barger is shut down with a stress reaction. On the positive side, Hunter Greene is expected back this week, Tyler Glasnow has resumed throwing, Chase DeLauter is activated off the injured list, and Teoscar Hernandez returns to action while Ryan Ward hits the shelf. Roster managers must also track early game exits for Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Dane Myers following separate outfield collisions. A massive daily performance slate features Casey Mize striking out ten over seven one-hit frames, George Kirby fanning seven across eight strong innings, and Eduardo Rodriguez logging seven sharp frames. Offensively, Brandon Marsh launched two home runs, Endy Rodriguez smashed a grand slam, and Francisco Lindor, Esmerlyn Valdez, Cam Smith, Cole Young, and Heliot Ramos all left the yard, alongside stellar pitching lines from Sean Burke, Shane Baz, Trey Yesavage, Zebby Matthews, and Eric Lauer. On the negative side, Aaron Nola collapsed for seven earned runs in 4.1 innings, Braxton Ashcraft and Ryan Weathers combined to give up ten runs, Christian Walker went hitless, and frontline starters Sandy Alcantara and Gage Jump suffered heavy five-earned-run implosions. The daily Bullpen Report analyzes critical late-inning shifts across the league, tracking David Bednar heading to the paternity leave list, Gregory Soto handling duties for Pittsburgh, Garret Whitlock locking down a save for Boston amid Aroldis Chapman trade rumors, Trevor Megill staying locked in for Milwaukee alongside an eleven-win campaign for Aaron Ashby, Mason Barnett emerging for the Athletics, and a potential closer change for Paul Sewald.
