The Blue Jays suffered one of their worst losses of the season, getting crushed 16-2 by the Chicago Cubs in a game Toronto will want to forget quickly.

Toronto now have to put the loss behind them and bounce back against Chicago with Colin Rea on the mound for the Cubs. Toronto faces another opportunity against a struggling starter, while Patrick Corbin looks to recover from what's been a tough June. We preview Corbin's matchup, his struggles this month, and what the Blue Jays offence needs to do to get back on track after being shut down in a blowout loss.

06/09/26 Hour 1: Illinois Football lands 3-Star Quarterback Sladen Shack - what you need to know; Cardinals vs Mets and Cubs vs Rockies Preview Illinois football added another piece to its future quarterback room as three-star 2027 signal caller Sladen Shack from Brandon, Mississippi announced his commitment to Bret Bielema and the Illini. The 6-foot-1, 211-pound quarterback chose Illinois over offers from Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, UConn, South Florida, East Carolina and others. Shack is rated as one of Mississippi's top prospects in the Class of 2027 and becomes Illinois' quarterback commitment for the cycle after the staff reset its recruiting board this spring. Illinois coaches Art Sitkowski and Barry Lunney Jr. prioritized Shack following strong evaluations and an official visit to Champaign. The commitment continues Illinois' recent pipeline into Mississippi, following the success of former Illini quarterback Luke Altmyer.  Then we shift to baseball as the Cardinals open a three-game series against the Mets at Citi Field. St. Louis enters the matchup at 35-28 and currently holds the top National League Wild Card position, while New York sits at 29-36 but comes home with momentum after winning series against both San Diego and Seattle. Young stars Jordan Walker and JJ Wetherholt continue to fuel the Cardinals' surprising season, while the Mets welcome catcher Francisco Alvarez back from the injured list ahead of the series opener. The matchup features two teams trying to strengthen their playoff positioning in a crowded National League race. Meanwhile, the Cubs begin a six-game season series with the Rockies at Coors Field. Chicago enters the series looking to gain ground after an inconsistent stretch, while Colorado continues rebuilding after a difficult 2025 campaign. The probable pitching matchups feature Colin Rea vs. Tomoyuki Sugano, Shota Imanaga vs. Michael Lorenzen, and Edward Cabrera vs. Ryan Feltner. Despite Colorado's struggles, Coors Field has historically been a difficult place for the Cubs, making this an important road test as they try to stay in the National League playoff picture.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Monday. Griffin Warner is back for episode 32 of What I Bet on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, recording late on April 20 and covering three sports on the holiday Monday card — European soccer, the 2026 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs first round, and a full MLB slate — opening with a transparent note that the previous best bet on the Braves-Phillies over did not cash after Atlanta scored nine runs and Philadelphia was shut out with zero. In Serie A, Griffin leans Lecce plus one quarter as a home underdog against Fiorentina, a club stretched thin by Europa Conference League commitments, and finds the under at two and a quarter goals equally appealing given Lecce's deeply defensive profile. In the Premier League, he is waiting for West Ham to reach plus one quarter before playing the side against Crystal Palace, whose manager Oliver Glasner is expected to depart at the end of the season, with the under two and a half his biggest interest for now. On the NHL side, Scott Seidenberg of Pregame.com contributed useful playoff totals history showing last year's playoff average posted total was 5.8 against an average outcome of 6.2, suggesting some market adjustment potential. Griffin fades the Pittsburgh Penguins at minus 152 in Game 2 of their Battle of Pennsylvania series and backs the Philadelphia Flyers at plus 134 after the Pens' weak Game 1 performance. He is genuinely unimpressed by the Carolina Hurricanes despite their 2-0 shutout win over Ottawa and finds the Senators at plus 128 in Game 2 a live underdog play. Minnesota's dominant 6-1 road win in Game 1 over the Dallas Stars makes the Wild plus 115 and over six his two plays in that series, while in the Oilers-Ducks Game 1 opener he leans the over six and a half rather than backing Anaheim outright despite acknowledging the upset potential his stepdad is calling for. On the MLB side he covers the full card from the Patriots Day early game featuring Jack Flaherty at plus 124 for Detroit against Sonny Gray and the Red Sox, through Spencer Arrighetti starting for the injury-depleted Astros against Slade Cecconi in Cleveland where he backs the Guardians at minus 113, to the Cardinals-Marlins under eight lean with Michael McGreevey's poor underlying numbers a concern, the Braves too expensive at minus 160 on the road despite Bryce Elder's excellent start, the Cubs at plus 102 at home against Aaron Nola with Philadelphia's defense and inconsistency making home value on Colin Rea the right play, the Royals at plus 104 with Seth Lugo against Kyle Bradish and an overvalued Baltimore club, the over at Coors Field with Justin Wrobleski facing José Quintana, over eight with Dylan Cease and the Blue Jays against Reed Detmers and the Angels, and the under eight in the Athletics-Mariners finale with J.T. Ginn a scary arm to back in Seattle against Emerson Hancock. Official best bet is the Chicago Cubs plus 102 at home behind Colin Rea.

Griffin sees Marlins' value; Munaf expects Cards' offense to produce. Nationals vs Astros (45:13–52:25) – Jason Alexander vs Michael Soroka. Astros in a slump (five-game losing streak), lacking offensive power without Tucker & Alvarez. Munaf leans Nationals first five innings. Rangers vs Angels (52:25–55:52) – Patrick Corbin (1 ER over last 2 starts) vs Yusei Kikuchi (struggling in July). Griffin and Munaf lean Rangers +107 and team total overs.

Don't miss the full postgame reaction and analysis from another exciting day at the Friendly Confines!

In what's becoming a regular occurrence, the Cubs are calling up another elite prospect to make his major-league debut. To get you prepared for Moisés Ballesteros' big moment, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney have a scouting report on what to expect from the young left-handed hitter, and why the Cubs are making this move right now. Ballesteros follows Cade Horton, a top pitching prospect who certainly looked like he belonged in New York. These are things that have to happen in order for a team to put together a special season.

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.

Losing to the Cubs 13-11 in a heartbreaking game is not the way fans wanted to begin their weekend. Eugenio Suarez put a grand slam on the board to get the Diamondbacks to get things going after Colin Rea started off the game well. Joe Mantiply became the story after struggling again on the mound, coming in for a short handed bullpen. Corbin Burnes handed in another quality start for the Diamondbacks as well.
