Podcast appearances and mentions of Craig Breslow

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about all the blowouts in baseball this year, the most wins in June market and the latest stories around the game. In this June 2nd episode of The Inside Pitch, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers analyze MLB's increasing blowouts. This season has already seen 46 games decided by 10+ runs, a record high since 2004. Towers attributes this to rushed player promotions, shortened drafts, minor league cuts, and analytics failing to teach players in-game adjustments. They cite examples such as Padres overcoming a 6-0 deficit against the Marlins and Diamondbacks' collapse due to emotional hangovers, underscoring how coaching and mental preparedness affect outcomes. The duo discusses bullpen usage's critical role in betting, highlighting the Red Sox's rested bullpen as an advantage. Towers explains that rested pens allow better in-game flexibility and reduce reliance on struggling relievers. Player development also takes center stage with the debate over Roman Anthony's MLB readiness. While his AAA stats are strong, Towers emphasizes non-statistical growth areas like situational hitting and emotional maturity. Craig Breslow's careful approach reflects a balance between development and team competitiveness. Looking at June betting markets, the Yankees, Dodgers, and Tigers share favorite status at +650. Towers favors the Tigers due to their home-heavy, softer schedule. He also projects the Nationals as a 2026 division contender, crediting their steady development. They examine profitability trends, identifying the Tigers as the most profitable moneyline and run line team, while the Rockies remain the best team to fade. The Cubs, Cardinals, Guardians, and Mets round out the most profitable sides, while Orioles, Braves, A's, and White Sox follow the Rockies in fade profitability. The conversation shifts to run support, highlighting pitchers like Andrew Heaney, who receives only 2.17 runs per start, despite a 3.39 ERA. Others like Kyle Freeland and Mitch Keller face similar challenges. Meanwhile, Max Fried benefits from 7.17 runs per start, aiding his success. Towers explains how run support impacts pitcher performance and confidence, influencing managerial decisions and pitcher development. Later, they address Corbin Burns' elbow injury, which appears severe as he was seen mouthing “elbow is done” after leaving a game. Towers elaborates on the biomechanics behind such injuries, emphasizing the importance of shoulder alignment and core stability to prevent stress on the elbow. Towers credits his own injury-free career to disciplined maintenance of these mechanics. They close discussing the Mariners retiring Ichiro's and Randy Johnson's number 51, an unprecedented honor. Towers reflects on his pitching strategy against Ichiro, where focusing on a single pitch location neutralized Ichiro's strengths. The podcast wraps with Seidenberg offering promotional codes for listeners and previewing upcoming MLB series while noting NBA and NHL finals on the horizon. Learn more about your ad choices.
