On the April 18, 2025 episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview MLB podcast, Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner provided in-depth analysis of the Friday baseball slate with betting insights. Munaf opened by highlighting his 5-1 betting record and credited their collaborative discussions for the success. The first matchup covered was Diamondbacks vs. Cubs (0:10–7:40). Corbin Burnes has struggled early, while Cubs starter Colin Rea provides potential value. Chicago leads MLB in runners in scoring position appearances and has scored 124 runs to Arizona's 104. The Cubs as home underdogs and a lean to the over were discussed, depending on Wrigley Field wind. In Royals vs. Tigers (7:41–11:34), Cole Ragans faces top prospect Jackson Jobe. Kansas City's offense has produced just 19 runs over its last 10 games and is 2-8 on the road. The Tigers' bullpen is strong, and both hosts leaned toward Detroit plus money and under 7.5. Guardians vs. Pirates (11:35–15:11) features Luis Ortiz against Carmen Mlodzinski. Mlodzinski has a 1.77 WHIP with command issues. The Guardians were favored due to bullpen depth. Pittsburgh is 6-4 at home and to the over. There was a slight lean to Cleveland and possibly over 8.5. In Marlins vs. Phillies (15:12–19:08), Sandy Alcantara is no longer dominant, while Zack Wheeler boasts an 11-4 record and 2.73 ERA against Miami. Philadelphia is 24-11 in Wheeler's home starts since 2023. The Phillies were a strong lean, especially on the run line. Yankees vs. Rays (19:49–25:11) featured Carlos Rodón, who has allowed 4+ earned runs and 3+ walks in three straight starts. Drew Rasmussen has not allowed a run in 21 career innings vs. the Yankees. Munaf's best bet was Rays first five innings at -110. In Reds vs. Orioles (25:12–28:31), Andrew Abbott faces Cade Povich. While Abbott had a solid outing against Pittsburgh, Baltimore's offense poses more danger. The Orioles were favored and offensive production expected. Mariners vs. Blue Jays (28:31–31:40) has Bryan Woo, who has struggled away from home, against Bowden Francis. Toronto is 7-3 at home and the over 7.5 was considered. Cardinals vs. Mets (31:42–35:05) pits Miles Mikolas against David Peterson. St. Louis is 1-6 on the road and lacks comeback potential. The Mets were the lean, especially on the run line. Griffin's best bet was Braves -130 vs. Twins (35:06–38:12). Chris Paddack has lost all three starts by 2+ runs and Bryce Elder is trying to earn a rotation spot. In Red Sox vs. White Sox (38:13–41:46), Martín Pérez is a steady innings-eater. Boston has a negative run differential and both hosts were reluctant to back them as heavy favorites. Dodgers vs. Rangers (41:46–45:55) features Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has a 0.91 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 22 innings, against Jacob deGrom, who's allowed multiple home runs in consecutive starts. The Dodgers were favored early. In Astros vs. Padres (52:32–56:54), Kyle Hart rebounded after a poor debut, while Houston's Ryan Gusto is unproven. The Padres are 15-4, and with Houston's bullpen issues, San Diego at +123 was the consensus lean. Brewers vs. A's (56:55–1:01:02) has Freddy Peralta allowing six earned runs over 23.1 innings. Milwaukee is 43-27 at home in his starts since 2018. Nationals vs. Rockies (1:01:11–1:04:14) features cold Denver weather and a low total of nine. MacKenzie Gore's road struggles were noted, but Washington was the slight lean. Giants vs. Angels (1:04:14–1:07:43) featured Logan Webb's consistency against Tyler Anderson. San Francisco is 9-4 on the road with eight wins by 2+ runs. Munaf leaned Giants run line. The episode ended with a promo for Pregame's $1,000 MLB contest and 20 percent discount code HOMERUN20.

Cole Ragans is a top 3 pitcher right now and Bobby Witt is a top 3 player. Which has impressed you more so far?
There won't be a more dramatic moment in sports this year than Rory McIlroy's playoff win at the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam. It was just the greatest and he sobbed like a baby with no tears of joy. It was all relief. This really is a tradition unlike any other. Cole Ragans picks up the Royals to avoid a sweep in Cleveland and this was bigger than most. Ragans pitched deep into the 8th and recorded 10 strikeouts. It was pure pandemonium at the UFC fights in Miami this weekend when President Trump arrived. He also announced a tariff break for tech companies. A Kansas City man that was falsely accused of being an illegal alien gunman at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade is found dead in his home. And comedian Bill Maher comes clean on Trump.

Missouri and Kansas hit the road for the NCAA tournament and will play at roughly the same time on Thursday night. Mizzou heads to Wichita to play Drake and they expect a big local flare crowd in that one. KU heads east to face Arkansas in a pod filled with Hall of Fame coaches. We break it down for you. The Chiefs keep making moves and the Royals season opener is just around the corner. We'll explain why Cole Ragans is their guy for opening day. President Trump made birdies and won his club championship and then watched on a monitor as American forces targeted Houthi drones making shipping lanes dangerous with terrorism attacks. Then, my co host Stephen Miller is getting tons for credit for his work. Miller orchestrated 261 violent criminals deported to an incredible prison in El Salvador that is the greatest crime deterrent in the world. The City of Lenexa is pulling a total scam on voters that sounds like an April Fool's joke, our astronauts are thrilled at the chance to come home and KSU women make the big dance even as their coach is targeted by Mizzou.

If you were somebody's boss and they went on tv and trashed your decisions, what would you do? Well, whatever you would do is not going to happen at MSNBC where Rachel Maddow just unloaded on the network for cutting costs and employees. Elon Musk says a small number of government employees responded to their email request to share what they did last week. Now he says, at the President's discretion, everyone gets a second chance to send anything in to their supervisor or they will be fired. A married couple in KCK got arrested at the same time Monday in different locations. We'll tell you what they did in January to deserve it. Polls show Americans are no longer divided.

What a spectacle at the Great American Race Sunday as President Trump provides a fly-by and then takes the Beast out on the track as the pace car. It was red, white and blue at its finest. What a show. DOGE never sleeps and Elon Musk has posted some of his findings in our Social Security system. Musk calls it "insane" and says it's like an amazing puzzle. CBS News spends Sunday attacking free speech on it's biggest shows and celebrates German officials for arresting people that post hate speech on the internet. What's going on here? Mizzou uses a 15-0 second half run to blast Georgia while KU loses again.... this time at Utah. What is going on with Bill Self's team? He's not happy at all. The Royals sign pitcher Cole Ragans to a great contract and Tiger Woods says President Trump is going to help broker a deal between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. It's about time.
On the latest episode of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox discuss Pitchers & Catchers reporting, starting with the fallout of the Ky Bush injury and what it will mean for the roster in Charlotte and Chicago.

The NCAA season is underway and Ian and James talk about some of the breakout performances and possible picks for the White Sox at #10, while also mentioning the changes to the drafts with the Alex Bregman and Nick Pivetta signings. Ian and James finished things off with happenings across MLB, starting with Bregman, moving to Anthony Rendon's hip surgery and what it means for the Angels, TA, and Yoan, plus the Cole Ragans contract renegotiation. The show ended with a new segment, dragging with Jimmy Hoax. James and Ian discuss some X/Twitter beef about James' takes on Andrew Vaughn across the years.

A surprising study shows that it's really hard to catch the ball at Arrowhead at night. Who knew?
