LeBron James is headed to Philadelphia, and the Knicks-Sixers rivalry just became the hottest fight in the Eastern Conference. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash explain why LeBron, Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey make the Sixers a legitimate threat, even though the defending champion Knicks remain the favorites. Evan argues that LeBron chose the highest-risk destination possible, putting himself in position to become either a Philadelphia hero or the face of another crushing Sixers failure. The Celtics take heavy blame for helping create Philadelphia's new powerhouse, the crew revisits its wildly inaccurate LeBron predictions, and Knicks fans are challenged to invade Citizens Bank Park in team gear. Plus, Evan and Shaun celebrate three years of Evan & Tiki by revisiting the show's first moments, Shaun's Giancarlo Stanton controversy and the surprisingly forgettable debut of Cinco de Five-o.

Sean Kane and Spencer McKercher share their thoughts on a WILD night at CBP with the 2026 Home Run Derby.

History was made at Citizens Bank Park on Monday night when Jordan Walker became the first-ever member of the St. Louis Cardinals to win the Home Run Derby. While the Philadelphia crowd showed its brotherly love attitude toward the Cardinals' young slugger, many were left shell-shocked following his improbable final-round comeback against hometown favorite Kyle Schwarber. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, live from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down all the action from the drama-filled Derby. They also highlight the impressive performances from Willson Contreras and Junior Caminero, share their thoughts on the new format and explain why they're already looking forward to next year's slugfest. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan preview the 2026 MLB All-Star Game and pick who they think will be named MVP.   0:44 - Jordan Walker wins the Derby 9:17 - Thoughts on the new format 16:47 - Phillies in the Derby 21:58 - Everything else that happened 34:21 - All-Star Game preview Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Griffin Warner talks sports betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner delivers a leaner but sharp episode of What I Bet built around the only two events worth betting on this Tuesday, the World Cup semifinal between Spain and France at AT&T Stadium in Arlington and the Major League Baseball All Star Game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Griffin opens at 0:32 by setting the stage for Spain and France, two nations that entered the tournament as co favorites at 5 to 1 odds as of July 3rd but have since diverged, with France now installed as the clear favorite needing a win in regulation to cover the spread. At 1:17 Griffin lays out his case for Spain, arguing that their possession based style works identically whether they are favored or underdogs, a trait he considers rare in knockout soccer, and noting the team is getting healthier at the right time. At 1:33 he acknowledges France's individual talent, led by Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, both of whom scored from outside the box in a 2 to 0 quarterfinal win over Morocco discussed at 2:03, while questioning whether longtime manager Didier Deschamps offers much beyond simply fielding the more talented roster. By 2:18 Griffin lands on his headline soccer pick, backing Spain as a quarter goal underdog and urging listeners to grab the number immediately before it shifts, explaining that the quarter goal split between a pick em portion and a plus one half portion protects bettors with a partial cash return if the match extends into extra time, which he expects given Spain's discipline defending against counterattacks. At 2:48 he shares his lean on the two and a half goal total, expecting the public to favor the over given the star power on both rosters while he sees a low scoring, controlled match shaping up instead, landing at 3:19 on a combined recommendation of Spain under the total and Spain to advance outright near plus 130 depending on the sportsbook. The show pivots to baseball at 3:49, with Griffin outlining the All Star Game lines, a National League team favored at minus 128 against the American League at plus 116, and a total of eight runs priced at minus 104 to the under and minus 116 to the over. At 4:20 he explains his general approach to exhibition baseball, trusting that the sport's best pitchers will suppress even the hottest first half hitters, despite acknowledging Philadelphia's shorter outfield dimensions raise the risk profile for an under play. At 4:50 Griffin spends real time on the Toronto Blue Jays' dominant presence in All Star voting following last season's seven game World Series run, highlighting Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s selection as the American League's starting first baseman despite a career worst first half that included stretches of just five home runs, and wondering aloud whether a taxing offseason program contributed to the decline. At 5:05 he notes Blue Jays manager John Schneider is running the American League dugout, tying the assignment to Toronto's pennant winning season, and projects a National League win that should mean fewer total at bats and a lower final score. After a quick promotional break at 5:35 pointing listeners toward pregame dot com and the CUP15 discount code for 15 dollars off any package, including Griffin's World Cup All Access pass covering the tournament's final four match days for 60 dollars instead of 75, Griffin previews an upcoming return to full scale baseball coverage once the World Cup wraps this Sunday and marks the milestone of six years and 64 episodes of Pregame Network podcasting. He closes at 6:51 with his top play of the night, the under eight runs total in the All Star Game, built on the theory that elite pitching wins out over hot hitting even in a hitter friendly ballpark, and offers the under first five innings at 7:07 as a higher variance alternative for bettors wanting extra action, reasoning that without extra innings or the Manfred Man rule extending the game the first five inning number offers a cleaner read on true scoring pace. Griffin signs off previewing Tuesday's World Cup semifinal as the centerpiece of the show's next episode and thanking listeners for their continued support of What I Bet and the wider Straight Outta Vegas AM lineup on the Pregame Network.

Hometown duo Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber look to give Philadelphia a Derby champion on their home turf, while 2025 runner-up Junior Caminero returns looking to go one step further. Breakout rookie Jac Caglianone and White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami bring fresh power to the bracket, joined by Willson Contreras, Ben Rice, and Cardinals masher Jordan Walker, rounding out one of the most loaded Derby fields in recent memory. We break down our pick to win it all, our longest-homer prediction, a sleeper who could shock everyone, why the new swing-based, clock-less format changes the whole equation, and whether home ballpark advantage gives Harper and Schwarber the edge. This segment was recorded before the Derby started; no spoilers, just our best reads on how it plays out.

We break down France facing Spain in Dallas and England taking on Argentina in Atlanta, with a trip to the July 19th final in New Jersey on the line. We give our thoughts on who's playing the best soccer right now and who has the clearest path to lifting the trophy. We also dig into the shocking Diamondbacks sweep of the Dodgers heading into the All-Star break, breaking down how a lineup missing its biggest bats found a way to take all three games from the reigning champs at Dodger Stadium, and what it means for Arizona's playoff push in the second half. Plus, we make our early predictions for the MLB Trade Deadline, breaking down which contenders could make a splash and which teams might be selling as the deadline approaches. And we close out with more speculation on the LeBron James free agency rumor mill, breaking down the buzz around The King potentially joining Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball in Minnesota.

The Korner Booth Podcast is back with a loaded episode covering the biggest stories in sports right now, from an NBA offseason that's already turned the league upside down to World Cup drama and the Midsummer Classic debate heating up. We open with the blockbuster that has the NBA world buzzing: the Boston Celtics have dealt Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks. The boys break down whether Brad Stevens is playing 4D chess with franchise flexibility or pulling off one of the most confusing trades in recent memory. Just two years ago, Brown won Finals MVP, and this past season finished sixth in the regular-season MVP vote after the best individual season of his career — so why move him now, and what does it mean for Boston's title window with Jayson Tatum? We get into it all. Then it's the LeBron James free agency circus, and the Timberwolves are making their pitch. Minnesota's bold offer: team up with Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels, and Rudy Gobert to chase a championship that could settle the GOAT debate once and for all.

USMNT striker Folarin Balogun was reinstated for the match against Belgium after FIFA's disciplinary committee suspended his one-game red-card ban, setting off a firestorm involving the Belgian federation, UEFA, and even a reported call from President Trump to FIFA's Gianni Infantino.

It's a stacked sports day at the Korner Booth Podcast! New York City came to a standstill as the Knicks celebrated their first NBA championship in 53 years with a massive ticker-tape parade. An estimated 2 million fans lined Broadway from Battery Park to City Hall, where Finals MVP Jalen Brunson was serenaded with chants, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani presented the team with the Keys to the City. The parade closed out a Finals run that saw the Knicks beat the Spurs in five games behind one of the best title-stage performances in recent memory from Brunson, capping a Finals series that averaged more than 20 million viewers, the most-watched NBA postseason since 1998. We break down the best moments from the celebration, Brunson's incredible run, and what this title means for a Knicks fanbase that's waited over half a century for this moment. Then we head to the gridiron for the 2026 UFL United Bowl, where the Louisville Kings pulled off one of the most remarkable championship runs in recent sports history. In their first-ever season as a franchise, the Kings knocked off the defending champion DC Defenders 27-20 at Audi Field, completing a perfect season sweep of DC. Running back Ian Wheeler was named United Bowl MVP after rushing for 81 yards and the go-ahead touchdown, while Louisville's defense forced a key fumble and held the Defenders to just four points in the second half. The win is even sweeter considering the Kings started the season 0-3 before rattling off a championship-or-bust turnaround. We break down how a brand-new franchise pulled off the title run in year one. We're also bringing you a Week 2 update from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, brought to you by Belly Up Sports' "Summer of Soccer." Group play has delivered drama all over North America with co-host Canada thrashing Qatar 6-0 to take control of Group B, while Switzerland bounced back from a slow start with a dominant win of their own. In Group A, Mexico sits perfect through two matches as the co-hosts push for a deep run, while South Africa and Czechia battled to a dramatic late draw. Elsewhere, the US continues group play against Australia, and Brazil looks to stay unbeaten against Haiti. We run through the standings, the biggest storylines, and which teams are trending toward the knockout rounds as the group stage heats up. And finally, breaking news out of MLB: the Home Run Derby is getting a major facelift for 2026. After a decade of using a pitch clock, MLB is scrapping the timer and going back to an outs-based, swing-driven format at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Hitters will get 20 swings in Round 1 and 15 in each of the final two rounds, with any home run on a hitter's final swing earning them another swing, meaning a hot streak can keep the round alive indefinitely. The move comes after players like Bryce Harper raised concerns about fatigue and injury risk under the old timed format. We get into what the new rules mean for this year's Derby and which sluggers stand to benefit most. #Knicks #NBAFinals #NBAChampions #JalenBrunson #CanyonOfHeroes #UFL #LouisvilleKings #UnitedBowl #DCDefenders #FIFAWorldCup2026 #WorldCup2026 #BellyUpSports #SummerOfSoccer #MLB #HomeRunDerby #Phillies #NYKnicks #SportsNews #KornerBoothPodcast
