Podcast appearances and mentions of Casey Mize

Ronald Acuna exits early with an injury, forcing fantasy managers to immediately brace for the upcoming medical updates. Joe Bond breaks down today's major news, runs through the Drops of the Week, and locks in the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Adley Rutschman deals with hamstring tightness, Oneil Cruz gets scratched, and Will Smith faces a possible IL stint. On the positive side, Tarik Skubal, Cole Ragans, Casey Mize, and Brandon Woodruff are all making visible progress toward returning. Dillon Dingler, Jac Caglianone, Matt Olson, Bryce Eldridge, and Nick Kurtz lead a deep list of top daily performers. Conversely, Dalton Rushing, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Adolis Garcia, and Freddy Peralta struggled heavily in yesterday's action. We evaluate the rotating segment to decide if it is time to cut ties with Maikel Garcia, Jose Altuve, Emmet Sheehan, or Aaron Nola.

Elly De La Cruz is undergoing an urgent Monday morning MRI after exiting early with right hamstring tightness. Corey Pieper analyzes the massive fallout from weekend injury news, key Statcast trends, the Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The medical updates are altering the fantasy landscape as Munetaka Murakami is sidelined for up to six weeks with a severe hamstring injury, Eury Perez suffers an eight-week gracilis strain, and both Casey Mize and Bailey Ober hit the shelf. Fantasy managers get a breath of fresh air as Logan Webb and Jung Hoo Lee return from the injured list. Statcast data signals a massive buying opportunity for Shota Imanaga despite coughing up three home runs, as his underlying vertical approach angle remains elite. Conversely, look under the hood of Bailey Ober's horrific twelve-hit shellacking, where a sudden velocity dip preceded his immediate move to the injured list with elbow inflammation. For the Waiver Wire, we map out priority additions available in most shallow configurations, highlighting deep-league stashes like Jake Bauers, Carson Benge, Curtis Mead, Tatsuya Imai, Kai-Wei Teng, and Troy Melton.

The Detroit Tigers are finalizing their Opening Day roster with three days until the first game of the 2026 season against the San Diego Padres. On "Days of Roar," Evan Petzold and Chris Brown break down Tarik Skubal's "lethargic" final spring training start and reveal their final roster predictions, focusing on the biggest decision: Will top prospect Kevin McGonigle make the Opening Day roster? We also dive into the other roster battles, including Parker Meadows, Wenceel Pérez, Brenan Hanifee, Enmanuel De Jesus, Burch Smith and Sean Guenther. As the season begins, Petzold and Brown identify the Tigers' biggest strength (starting rotation) and biggest weakness (bullpen), plus they dive into 10 predictions about the season, featuring Skubal, McGonigle and Justin Verlander. Kevin Acee, the Padres beat writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune, joins the show to preview the opening series between the Tigers and Padres.

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.

Spring training storylines are heating up for the Detroit Tigers with just 16 days until 2026 Opening Day.

We also break down Kevin McGonigle becoming an international sensation after hitting a 461-foot home run in the Dominican Republic — and provide an update about his chances of making the Opening Day roster. We debate other key roster questions: A left-hander like Enmanuel De Jesus or a right-hander like Burch Smith for the final bullpen spot; Casey Mize or Drew Anderson for the final rotation spot, with the other moving to the bullpen; Parker Meadows or Wenceel Pérez if McGonigle forces his way into the position player group, with the other landing in Triple-A Toledo. Bob Nightengale — USA TODAY Sports MLB columnist and insider — joins the show to discuss Skubal's contract situation. Have the Tigers offered their homegrown ace a long-term extension in the past 16 months? Nightengale has the answer, plus other information. To wrap up, we take a deep dive into the prospects selected by the Tigers for MLB's Spring Breakout showcase, including youngsters Cris Rodriguez, Jordan Yost and Michael Oliveto.

The guys are live from Detroit and while they're having a blast and making friends, it is all business for the Mariners who took game 3 in Motown and a 2-1 lead over the Tigers. With Game 4 this afternoon, and a chance to close out the ALDS, we look at the makeup of this team and how the win came together. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners hitters were busy and the team was cruising to an 8-1 victory before a little snafu in the 9th, but Munoz came in to close it out and put the Mariners up 2-1 in the series. Can they close it out today? :45- Is Dumper guy the biggest Cal fan ever? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Detroit Tigers are still playing postseason baseball — and they're finally home. The Tigers split the first two games of the ALDS against the Seattle Mariners after taking down the Cleveland Guardians in the AL wild-card series. On "Days of Roar," Evan Petzold and Chris Brown ("Tigers Minor League Report") discuss overcoming the Guardians, the better ALCS matchup for the Tigers (Toronto Blue Jays or New York Yankees), the offense with runners in scoring position and the bullpen needing to be lights out without run support. To help break down the ALDS, Ryan Divish — the Mariners beat writer for the Seattle Times — provides insight into the Mariners, including AL MVP candidate Cal Raleigh. For Game 3 of the ALDS, the Tigers selected Jack Flaherty as their starting pitcher. Should it have been Casey Mize? Colt Keith returned for the ALDS after missing two weeks with an injury. When will we see injured players Matt Vierling and Reese Olson join the Tigers? Follow Evan on X/Twitter here. Read Evan's most recent work here

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB betting for Wednesday. At 0:10 Munaf opens the show, sets the stage for the Wednesday slate, and reminds listeners about special codes on Pregame.com. Griffin jumps in with fresh Milwaukee Brewers gear talk, noting their brutal schedule and the need for rest. From 1:45 Munaf confirms the show will move to a once-per-week schedule now that football is here, but assures fans that MLB playoff coverage is locked in. At 3:18 they dive into the first matchup, Miami Marlins vs Washington Nationals. Munaf highlights Mitchell Parker's struggles while Griffin emphasizes Miami's improved form but admits the price is tough to justify. By 5:34 the New York Mets vs Detroit Tigers discussion turns into a critique of Casey Mize's numbers and the shaky Tigers bullpen, with both leaning toward the over. At 9:12 they cover Texas Rangers vs Arizona Diamondbacks. Jack Leiter's inexperience and Arizona's offensive power are discussed, with Zach Gallen's desert struggles also noted. Munaf points to Gallant's home ERA issues, leaving room for Texas value. By 12:25 Baltimore Orioles vs San Diego Padres shifts to Cade Povich's inconsistency and San Diego's bullpen strength, leaving both hesitant to back the pricey Padres money line. At 15:34 the Dodgers vs Pirates brings Shohei Ohtani into focus. Griffin leans slightly toward Pittsburgh value but Munaf stresses Ohtani's upside and recent improvement. They explore how the Dodgers might deploy him in October. At 19:48 Toronto Blue Jays vs Cincinnati Reds brings Shane Bieber's post-surgery resurgence into the spotlight, with Munaf impressed by Bieber's control. They suggest backing Toronto despite Cincinnati's hitter-friendly park. By 23:19 the Mariners vs Rays matchup shows George Kirby's control versus Adrian Houser's regression. Griffin leans toward Tampa Bay at home while Munaf likes the under. At 29:23 the Braves vs Cubs features Bryce Elder's volatility and Horton's blister issues, leading to interest in an over. At 32:23 the Phillies vs Brewers matchup becomes a highlight. Both analyze Aaron Nola and Jose Quintana, ultimately agreeing Philadelphia offers value as an underdog. At 37:12 the White Sox vs Twins matchup centers on Gomez versus prospect Zevi Matthews, with Munaf leaning over 8.5 as both pitchers have struggled. At 39:48 Athletics vs Cardinals brings Jeffrey Springs vs Matthew Liberatore, with both siding with Oakland as the sharper play. At 43:02 Yankees vs Astros highlights Jason Alexander's success in Houston's rotation, with Munaf backing the Astros as a plus-money home side. At 47:33 Giants vs Rockies ends the game breakdown. Coors Field and Robbie Ray's unpredictability lead to an over lean. At 49:26 best bets are revealed: Griffin selects the Phillies as a live underdog while Munaf goes with White Sox vs Twins over 8.5.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The MLB Friday betting preview with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner broke down twelve games with both hosts riding an 8–2 streak on best bets. Munaf opened by stressing the urgency with roughly 35 games left, while Griffin noted, “we're getting hot at the right time of year.” Colorado at Pittsburgh led the card. Antonio Senzatela, torched in a 17–16 loss the last time he saw the Pirates, carries a 2–8 road record. Munaf called the over 8.5 the best angle. Griffin, mocking the Rockies as “one of the least competitive franchises in global sports,” leaned Pirates at home but doubted unders due to Colorado bats. Washington at Philadelphia followed with Cade Cavalli against Taijuan Walker. Cavalli threw seven shutout innings versus the Phillies previously, but Munaf warned that rematches favor the hitters. Griffin advised focusing on Phillies run lines and blowout props. The Red Sox at Yankees matchup paired Brayan Bello with Max Fried. Griffin argued the line “doesn't respect what Bello has done,” while Munaf highlighted Boston's 6–1 record in Bello's last seven against New York. Fried has allowed four or more runs in four of his last five. Both favored Boston plus money. Houston at Baltimore featured Lance McCullers in his first start since July 19 against Cade Povich. Griffin pointed to Houston's offensive slump of just eight runs in seven games. Munaf doubted McCullers' sharpness and leaned over nine, adding that Adley Rutschman is sidelined and Josh Hader likely out until October. In Detroit, Ryan Bergen faced Casey Mize. Munaf cited Mize's 3.63 ERA and 103 strikeouts, with Detroit winning his last four starts. Griffin criticized Mize's All-Star nod and praised Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez. Both leaned under early but saw Royals value. The Mets at Braves matchup showcased rookie Nolan McLean, who struck out eight but walked four in his debut. Griffin favored Atlanta as a home dog and the over 8.5, while Munaf leaned similarly, noting hot Atlanta weather would boost scoring. St. Louis at Tampa Bay featured Miles Mikolas against Adrian Houser. Griffin trusted the Rays' bullpen, while Munaf stressed Mikolas' inconsistency and backed Tampa at -128. Minnesota at Chicago pitted Zebby Matthews against Aaron Civale. Griffin quickly said, “give me the White Sox.” Munaf agreed, citing Matthews' 5.06 ERA and Chicago's 7–3 record at home on Friday nights, all as underdogs. In Texas, Slade Cecconi met Nathan Eovaldi. Griffin praised Eovaldi's Cy Young-level form, recommending under plays. Munaf backed that, noting Rangers home unders sit at 64.5 percent. Milwaukee hosting San Francisco saw Carson Whisenhunt oppose José Quintana. Griffin highlighted Bryce Turang's surge, while Munaf cited Milwaukee's 42–20 home record and San Francisco's 13–22 mark against lefties, backing Brewers run line at plus money. Cincinnati at Arizona matched Zach Littell with Ryne Nelson. Munaf praised Nelson's 5–1, 2.20 ERA home mark across 57 innings, backing the Diamondbacks and their team total. Griffin agreed Arizona held value despite a high price. The Dodgers at Padres closed the slate with Blake Snell against Yu Darvish. Griffin trusted Darvish's improvement and liked San Diego as a home underdog. Munaf leaned to the under eight, noting Snell's six scoreless innings against the Padres last week but citing Darvish's 2.55 career ERA in 16 appearances versus Los Angeles. Best bets closed the show. Griffin picked Tampa Bay over St. Louis, while Munaf selected the over in Houston and Baltimore, both looking to extend their winning streak into the weekend.

Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) take a look at some first-half-keeper-league All Stars (largely based on value gained compared to their ADP) after a spirited conversation about their Head-to-Head Heroes from last week.5:00 - Chad picks George Springer as his Head-to-Head Hero. Pete goes with Jasson Domínguez and Michael Busch in a two-way tie.16:30 - Conversation about our keeper league All Stars begins with Emmet Sheehan, oddly enough.23:02 - Kris Bubic and Andrew Abbott are looking like probable keepers for 2026 and make the Keeper League All Star Team.29:00 - Chad likes what Ryne Nelson is cooking up this season. Pete is worried about the fastball usage.33:52 - Casey Mize has a 2.63 ERA through 15 starts. Is this a breakout and slam dunk keeper, or is he a first-half fluke.35:34 - Grant Holmes and Edward Cabrera look really good! Cabrera's success is long overdue for Pete!41:45 - Both hosts are excited about the idea of keeping Hunter Goodman and Andy Pages for 2026 at this point. 46:38 - Eugenio Suárez, Christian Yelich, Sonny Gray, and Merrill Kelly are having solid seasons, but are their seasons so good that managers should consider keeping them?49:31 - Jhoan Duran could be a potential keeper based on his numbers so far, potentially in roto leagues, at least.50:28 - Nick Pivetta should make the keeper league All Star team, the homers are down!51:25 - Will Vest and Emilio Pagán generate a short conversation about how to approach closer keepers.53:39 - Cristopher Sánchez is looking like a slam dunk keeper given his 2025 cost.55:08 - Nathan Eovaldi is good when he pitches, but is probably not a keeper 2026. 55:53 - Byron Buxton once again gets talked about on Keep or Kut.57:23 - Carlos Rodón and Robbie Ray are pitching like aces, but their costs were more pricey than most of the players we had discussed to this point. Does it look like they will still be worth keeping for 2026, despite that cost?59:38 - Bryan Woo is most likely going to be a keeper in a lot of leagues.1:01:03 - Joe Ryan and Pete Crow-Armstrong end the show.

He's having a great season with a .288 batting average, 17 home runs, and 55 RBIs. However, he's only started eight games against lefties. Will the Cubs give him a full-time role or keep him as a strong-side platoon option?6.Colson Montgomery was promoted on Friday. I've downshifted on his because he's striking out a third of the time. I'm sure people will lay big money down because he's a famous prospect and had a good game.a. Your thoughts on him for the second half?Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer Report Close

Mize helped the Tigers sweep the Guardians with a sterling performance on Saturday night

6:00 HOUR: The most satisfying win of the Tigers' season, Is Casey Mize the best redemption story on the team?

Eno, Trevor, and DVR discuss a lengthy absence of Pablo López following a Grade 2 teres major strain, and wonder if Chase Burns' arrival in Cincinnati might come earlier than expected with Hunter Greene's return to the IL. Plus, they dig into the regression cases of several starting pitchers -- including the always puzzling Andrew Abbott, Kris Bubic, Casey Mize, and several others.Rundown0:42 Pablo Lopez: Out 8-12 Weeks6:18 An Opportunity for David Festa8:03 Hunter Greene Goes Back on the IL11:50 Another Attempt to Understand Andrew Abbott's Success19:29 2025 ERA v.

Fantasy Baseball Live – May 11, 2025 – 3:00 pmSegments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend gamesMicrosoft Teams:Additional Questions:1.Are the Padres this good, or are the Rockies this bad? They lost 13-9 on Friday, 21-0 on Saturday, and we shouldn't forget about the doubleheader loss to the Tigers on Thursday (21-3). The Rockies' run differential is -134, having nearly lapped the second-worst run differential in the league, the Baltimore Orioles. 2.Corbin Burnes shoved against the Dodgers on Saturday. Good to see.3.Cade Horton wins his first game as the bulk innings guy. Were you happy with what you saw?4.Ranger Suarez looked great in his second outing, but It was against the Guardians. He has Pittsburgh next Friday. Are you starting him?a.Lance McCullers was awful yesterday. I started him against the White Sox and danced with the devil, but not yesterday. Should I be done with him or keep him on my bench for a while? His sinker (fastball) is down to 91.6 MPH, and while his slider is still missing bats, it got destroyed, as did his change-up.5.Casey Mize hits the IL with a hamstring strain. This one hurt for me as I have him in a number of leagues. Assuming a short IL stint, I still look at the matchup before starting him, but he has yet to have a blow up. Should I start him with confidence going forward?6.Jasson Dominguez had three home runs on Friday. Judge with two more home runs on Saturday and is now leading the league with 14 and batting average (.396). Just a ridiculous start to the season.Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

Take 10 with Tim – April 4, 20251.The talk all week has been about the Torpedo bat. It's funny that Franciso Lindor used it all last season and was a Top 3 finalist in MVP, and nobody said a thing. But, the Yankees hit nine home runs in a game, and the whole world goes crazy. Three of them were hit by the Judge, who doesn't use the bat.a.Is this something that could make a real difference or just a blip like the hockey handle was a few years ago?2.Overreacting to the first-week statistics. Can these players continue?a.Eugenio Suarez (AZ, ADP=161, Ranked=7) – 5 HR, 1 SB, 11 RBI, 5 runs, .238 BAb.Victor Scott (STL, 368.77, 38) – 1 HR, 4 SB, 5 RBI, 8 runs, .348 BAc.Wilyer Abreu (Bos, 316.33, 42) – 2 HR, 1 SB, 6 RBI, 5 runs, .500 BA in only 14 ABsd.Kyren Paris (LAA, 456.13, 78) – 1 HR, 3 SB, 3 RBI, 5 runs, .444 in 9 ABse.Jake Magnum (TB, Undrafted, 85) – 0 HR, 3 SB, 6 RBI, 5 runs, .533 BA in 15 ABs3.Overreacting to the first-week statistics on the downside. Should we be worried?a.Triston Casas (Bos, 116.19, 790) – 1 for 18, 9K/1BBi.Francisco Lindor (14.5, 785) – 2 for 20, 1 SB, 6K/0BBb.Carlos Correa (Min, 231.09, 783) – 2 for 25, 4K/1BBc.Rafael Devers (Bos, 34, 782) – 3 for 27, 16K/5BBd.Curtis Mead (TB, 476.70, 775) – 0 for 10, 3K/1BB after hitting .524 this springe.Dylan Crews (Was, 122.58, 773) – 0 for 18, 1 SB, 10K/1BB4.What three players or teams are you worried about that I might not have listed above?5.Jurickson Profar is suspended. Like…what? Is this still happening?a.Who gets his playing time in Atlanta? Bryan De La Cruz? He's 6% rostered in CBS6.The Athletics cut ties with fantasy darling Esteury Ruiz, and the Dodgers trade for him. Why do I think he gets a shot as a fifth-outfielder type of player? Any interest in NL-only or deeper mixed leagues?7.Dustin May pitched well earlier this week, but he got hit hard, and his velo is not what it was before his multiple surgeries. In 2023, his fastball averaged 97.3. On Monday, he averaged 95.4 MPH. It does appear he dropped his cutter and is now throwing he's sweeper a ton. Given its spin and movement, it's a devasting pitch.a.Dunno, what do you think? Is this someone you start with confidence?8.How about Casey Mize? He had a similar dominating outing as May and also, his stuff was not as hot as 2024. His fastball was down over a mile per hour. He did have crazy whiff rates on his pitches. His splitter, which has always been his best pitch, received a 71% whiff rate.a.Now, here's the rub, his opponent was the Mariners in Seattle. Same question with Mize, do you start him with confidence or maybe try to move him after his big start?9.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?10.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?
