Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg discuss the latest around Major League Baseball. Juan Soto's struggles, the Dodgers slump and futures bets to make right now! In this episode, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers dissect a range of MLB storylines, with a heavy focus on Juan Soto's troubled transition to the Mets. Soto's recent on-field behavior—particularly his lack of hustle on a hit off the Green Monster and only securing one hit across three games against the Yankees—sparked criticism. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced plans to speak with Soto about his effort. Towers emphasized how professional athletes are expected to hustle regardless of performance, especially when part of a new organization. He critiqued Soto's declining stats (.246 average in 2025, subpar defense) and called out the media narrative that built him up unrealistically since his 2020 breakout. He believes the $765 million valuation raised unsustainable expectations. Michael Kay, based on conversations with Mets and Yankees insiders, claimed Soto appears “glum” and without joy. Soto reportedly preferred to remain a Yankee, but his family urged him to accept the Mets' offer. Towers, who played for both franchises, praised the Yankees for their professionalism and structure, saying it fosters respect and accountability. In contrast, he noted that the Mets, while improving, still lack the Yankees' foundational stability. Scott and Josh then evaluated the NL East race. Seidenberg endorsed betting on the Phillies to win the division at +130, noting their strong veteran core (Harper, Schwarber, Wheeler) and manager Dave Dombrowski's history of bold moves. Josh echoed this but pointed out the Phillies' need for young talent infusion, something they've lacked in recent years. They also discussed the Braves' resurgence, who started 0-8 but have since gone 24-15, with key players like Max Fried returning. Shifting to the Dodgers, both hosts criticized Dave Roberts' pitching management. The team's constant injuries and overuse of bullpen arms have led to four consecutive home losses. Towers questioned the effectiveness of the organization's throwing programs and training strategies. Despite Yamamoto's reliability, the rest of the rotation, including Snell, Glasnow, and Kershaw, remains inconsistent or injured. Fried's Cy Young candidacy was explored in depth. With a 1.29 ERA and consistent dominance, Josh called him the clear front-runner. Other contenders like Robbie Ray, Hunter Brown, and Chris Bubik were noted, though Fried's consistency set him apart. On the offensive side, Pete Crow Armstrong's recent surge sparked MVP speculation, but Josh dismissed it due to his relatively weak OBP and limited consistency. Attention turned to the Texas Rangers, whose rotation (deGrom, Eovaldi, Mowley) and improving offense make them serious contenders. The coaching shift toward personalized, non-analytic-heavy hitting plans has improved their situational batting. They also discussed trade rumors including Bo Bichette, Kenley Jansen, and Sandy Alcantara potentially moving before the deadline. The Orioles and Rockies came under fire for poor development. The Rockies' minus-150 run differential led Scott to predict they might break the all-time worst record. Josh argued that both teams lack direction and accountability, especially with player growth and clubhouse culture. Lastly, home field advantage in 2025 has reached historic levels, with home teams winning 56.5% of games, the best rate since 2005. Betting trends show high returns for home favorites, and Seidenberg emphasized this is a year to follow such patterns. The hosts closed with MVP and Cy Young betting odds, a promo for Pregame.com, and a final note on the season's unpredictability and remaining opportunities. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets. The "MLB Tuesday Preview + Best Bets" episode hosted by Munaf Manji with guest Griffin Warner offers a detailed, game-by-game analysis of the MLB slate. Munaf opens by mentioning the excitement surrounding the weekend's games and Juan Soto's return to the Bronx. Griffin begins with the Orioles' implosion, losing despite a 14-3 hit advantage, leading to their manager's firing. He criticizes their underperforming stars like Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman, failed pitching replacements, and Kyle Gibson's poor debut followed by being designated for assignment. Griffin speculates that Brandon Hyde's dismissal, despite being 2023's Manager of the Year, stems from high preseason expectations. Munaf admits he underestimated how poorly the Orioles were performing. They highlight the Cubs vs. Marlins matchup with Jameson Taillon vs. Ryan Weathers. Taillon is untrustworthy as a favorite, while Weathers has promise but is fresh off the IL. Munaf leans on the Cubs' offense, skeptical of Taillon's price. Next, they analyze Reds vs. Pirates. Despite interest in backing Bailey Falter, Griffin is deterred by Pittsburgh's scoring drought—failing to surpass 3 runs in 23 straight games. Nick Martinez has been consistent, while Falter has struggled historically against the Reds. Both lean toward the under 8.5. In the Rangers vs. Yankees game, they discuss Patrick Corbin's surprising stability—holding teams to three or fewer earned runs in all starts this season—and Will Warren's solid form. Though historically bad, Corbin's early-season stats make him a tempting underdog. Munaf supports backing Corbin, noting his past success in Yankee Stadium. They discuss Twins vs. Guardians next, where both support Minnesota. Chris Paddock has rebounded after early struggles, while Gavin Williams hasn't found a reliable swing-and-miss pitch. The Twins' recent 13-game win streak reinforces their pick. The Cardinals vs. Tigers match sees both siding with St. Louis for value. Although Detroit's Skubal is a top Cy Young contender, the Cardinals have been on a hot streak. Eric Fedde, typically inconsistent, has posted strong recent starts. Phillies vs. Rockies analysis is brief—Philadelphia should dominate, especially with Sensatela's 6.39 ERA and 1–7 record. Munaf and Griffin agree on Phillies run line and team total over. In Mets vs. Red Sox, Walker Buehler's IL return raises concerns, and Clay Holmes lacks long-term reliability. Both expect high scoring and back the Mets team total over. Royals vs. Giants features Birdsong's first start for SF. With Kansas City's weak offense and San Francisco's cold bats, both prefer under 8. Angels vs. A's is expected to be a slugfest. Kyle Hendricks and Gunnar Hoglund both provide fade-worthy profiles. They predict double-digit scoring, with Munaf backing the over as his best bet. In Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers, Yamamoto is solid, but Ryan Nelson's fastball-heavy approach is predictable. Dodgers' depth and Arizona's weak bullpen suggest the Dodgers team total over is viable. They close with a quick mention of Braves vs. Nationals, likely featuring Spencer Strider off the IL. Griffin's best bet is Twins -108, trusting Paddock's resurgence and the team's momentum. Munaf selects the Angels-A's over 10 due to suspect pitching and a hitter-friendly park in West Sacramento. They promote a $10 discount using code BUNT10 at pregame.com for season-long picks and wrap up promising continued coverage through the MLB season. Learn more about your ad choices.

Four decades ago, Cory Satterfield arrived on campus as a heralded right-handed pitcher from South Jersey. Recruited by Cal Koonce – a member of the 1969 Amazin' Mets – and later coached by 1982 Cy Young runner-up Mike Caldwell – Cory enjoyed a career capped by leading the Camels to their first Big South baseball title in 1988 and earning all-conference and all-tournament honors along the way. Thirty-seven years since he graduated, his name is still etched in the Campbell record books. He is still ranked among the program's top five all time leaders in wins, starts, complete games, innings pitched and strikeouts. Drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1988, Cory played three seasons in the minors, earning Midwest League All-Star honors in 1989. After his playing career ended Cory began a teaching career in Harnett County and later Richmond County. He was twice honored as principal of the year and later served as assistant superintendent and interim superintendent of Scotland County schools. After retiring from administrative duties, he was elected to the Richmond County Board of Education in 2022 and continues to serve that organization. In addition to playing golf whenever he can, Cory is also a member of the Athletic Director's advisory board at his alma mater. In the next installment of Tales from the Creek, Cory Satterfield talks with Stan Cole about his journey to Campbell, being coached by two former major league pitchers, his deep connections with his teammates and to the Buies Creek community, and much more.

Mullsy joins to recap the Mullsy-Austin trivia game. Is Tommy Pham one of the worst free agent signings in Pirates history? Pham is hitting .176 with no home runs and six RBIs in 34 games. This is not the Paul Skenes we expected. His strikeouts are down three-per-game. He's still pitching great, but not at a Cy Young level.

On Episode 958 of Hittin' Season, host John Stolnis of The Good Phight recaps the first two games of the Phillies series in Tampa, another series win for the boys!

On May 7, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds secured a narrow 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park, snapping a four-game losing streak and improving their record to 18-19. The game was highlighted by TJ Friedl's two home runs, which provided crucial offensive firepower, and a resilient bullpen effort led by Brent Suter and closer Emilio Pagan, who bounced back from a blown save the previous night to earn his ninth save in 11 opportunities. The Reds' starting rotation, ranked fifth in the majors in WAR and eighth in ERA, has been a cornerstone of their season, and this win underscored their ability to compete despite mounting challenges. However, the victory was overshadowed by a concerning injury to ace pitcher Hunter Greene, who exited in the fourth inning with a right groin injury. Greene, a 2024 All-Star and Cy Young contender, had been dominant through three scoreless innings, striking out six and allowing just two hits on 53 pitches. The injury occurred during warm-up pitches before the fourth, when Greene felt a “grab” in his groin, prompting manager Terry Francona and a trainer to remove him from the game. Greene, who remained optimistic postgame, is scheduled for an MRI on May 8 to determine the injury's severity. He expressed hope of avoiding the injured list but acknowledged uncertainty, stating, “I don't know what the future holds on this.” The Reds are already grappling with a slew of injuries, with key players like Noelvi Marte (oblique), Austin Hays (hamstring), and Jake Fraley (calf) sidelined or limited. Greene's potential absence could strain the team's pitching depth, especially after his stellar 2025 performance (4-2, 2.36 ERA, 61 strikeouts in 45.2 innings). If Greene misses time, 22-year-old prospect Chase Petty, who recently threw six no-hit innings inTriple-A, is a likely replacement, though his MLB debut was rocky. Despite the injury concerns, the Reds' resilience in holding off the Braves (17-18) offers hope. Francona emphasized the team's grit, noting that while Greene's exit was a blow, the win showcased their ability to adapt. As Cincinnati navigates this precarious moment, Greene's MRI results will be pivotal in determining whether their rotation can continue to anchor a season teetering on the edge.

Dylan Campione & Nicho Fernandez take turns drafting the best players they think will make the all-star game for the first time in 2025! Cy Young candidates such as Yoshinobu Yamamoto & Michael King, veterans Cal Raleigh & Jesus Luzardo are just some of the 21 names mentioned on today's episode! 

Dukes and Bell get into some Braves talk as they react to their win over the Reds, praising Michael Harris II for being 'clutch' when it was needed the most by the Braves. They then pivot to Chris Sale and discuss how well he has looked striking out 10 Reds batters, making it the second straight start he has struck out at least 10 batters, as they agree he appears to be trending in the direction of returning to his 2024 Cy Young self.

HR3 - Chris Sale is starting to look like the reigning Cy Young award winner that he is In hour three Ali Mac, Mike Johnson, and Beau Morgan let listeners call in and talk about how many bones they've broken, and how old they were when they broke them in the Wake Up Call. Then, Ali gets Mike and Beau to debate a plethora of topics in a game of Which One! The Morning Shift crew continues hour three by continuing to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves beating the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 in ten innings last night thanks to clutch hits from Michael Harris II and Marcell Ozuna, and another nice outing from Chris Sale. Mike, Beau, and Ali also continue to talk about what the expectations should be for Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts this season, and also talk about what kind of season they think Pitts needs to have this season for them to want the Falcons to bring him back. Finally, The Morning Shift crew closes out hour three by diving into the life of Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan in The Life of Squid.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg discuss the top stories around Major League Baseball with betting leans for this week and beyond. The Inside Pitch, recorded April 28 with Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers, reviews MLB standings and focuses on Yankees bullpen changes. Devin Williams lost the closer role after posting an 11.25 ERA, allowing 12 runs, 12 hits, and 7 walks in just 8 innings. Towers attributes Williams' struggles to mental weakness under New York pressure rather than mechanics, noting his strikeout rate dropped to 18.2% and sweet spot contact rose to 42.9%. Luke Weaver, who has thrown 14 scoreless innings with only 3 hits allowed and 14 strikeouts, steps in as closer. Weaver's mindset and adaptability were praised. The discussion predicts Williams could struggle further when used earlier in games to rebuild confidence. The Orioles are highlighted as the best "over" team at home due to poor pitching, favoring the over nine-and-a-half total in the Yankees-Orioles matchup. Conversely, an under nine bet is favored in the Rangers-Athletics game, citing solid pitching from Patrick Corbin and JP Sears. Gunnar Henderson's slump is analyzed: batting .220 with a 29.1% strikeout rate and minimal walks, attributed to over-aggression. Team evaluations followed: the Yankees and Red Sox are considered legitimate, Tampa Bay consistent but streaky, while skepticism is directed at the Blue Jays and Orioles sustaining competitiveness. In the AL Central, the Tigers are viewed as legitimate division contenders, with the Royals better than their record suggests. Towers criticizes the MLB's reduced minor leagues for worsening player development and opposes expansion. Aaron Judge's performance is lauded as historically elite with a 13.7 WAR across the last year, comparable to Babe Ruth's best seasons. Judge's discipline at the plate and patience are credited for his continued dominance. In the NL East, the Mets' excellent pitching and 12–1 home record establish them as serious contenders. Towers expects the Braves to rebound and questions the Phillies' consistency due to defensive lapses. In the Central, the Cubs are seen as overperforming, while Cincinnati, led by an improving Elly De La Cruz, is a value pick. Further analysis highlights Judge's league-best weighted runs created plus and criticizes the Dodgers' injury problems, blaming organizational changes to pitching mechanics. The Padres and Mariners are praised for pitching but have offensive concerns; the Rangers are expected to surge in the AL West. Award discussions follow: Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso are MVP favorites, Tariq Skubal and Logan Webb are Cy Young contenders. Top prospects like Roman Anthony and Jack Caglione are discussed cautiously, with Towers warning that MLB's fast-tracking approach harms long-term player development.

Our reigning Cy Young winner has struggled so far this season but owns every minute of it! He sits down with Cellini & Dimino and discusses his season thus far. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Braves are back home this weekend, against 2 sub .500 teams, and they have to win both series to keep their home winning record afloat. This weekend will be a good one for Chris Sale to gain his first win of the season, but he may not be able to rely on the offense too much, so a stellar performance may be required.

The assumed 2025 debut of Spencer Strider to the Atlanta Braves rotation is looking like it will happen on Wednesday, and it will be an immediate shot in the arm to this Braves team, but even Cy Young level pitchers require run support. The Braves at least have 5 hitters hitting above .200, and Marcell Ozuna is even hitting .306, but the timeliness of the Braves hitting is something less to be desired. The Braves are the 2nd worse team in MLB with runners in scoring position, and even though there are signs of power of late, they will have to start scoring more runs if they want to dig themselves out of the hole that they have created in the early part of the season. The hitting is coming around, and adding Strider will help, let's just hope that this April hole is not an insurmountable one to climb out of. Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael talk more about the Braves and the AL East swing that they are on right now.

Mike Johnson and Abe Gordon continue to react to the Atlanta Braves losing their three game series against the Tampa Bay Rays after losing the rubber match yesterday 8-3, and also explain why Chris Sale doesn't have to replicate what he did last year in his Cy Young season, but has to better than what he is right now.

HR3 - Chris Sale hasn't pitched any better than Grant Holmes or AJ Smith-Shawver In hour three Mike Johnson and Abe Gordon hand out some Wake Up Calls, let listeners give out some Wake Up Calls as well. The guys continue hour two by spending some time recapping The Masters with former PGA Tour caddie Mick Middlemo. Mike, Abe, and Mick discuss what Mick's thought process was when Rory missed the putt that forced the playoff, how Mick expected Rory to perform in the playoff, what Mick would've said to Rory going into the playoff if he was his caddie, Rory not speaking to Bryson DeChambeau all day on Sunday, where Mick would rank Rory Mcllroy among the all-time great golfers, if Mick thinks Bryson DeChambeau struggling yesterday caused Rory to struggle at some points during the final round of The Masters yesterday, if Mick thinks Justin Rose is now going to be the guy a lot of golf fans pull for to win The Masters now that Rory has finally won, how Mick's podcast with Dave Ashburn came to fruition, and what the podcast is going to be about. The guys also continue to react to the Atlanta Braves losing their three game series against the Tampa Bay Rays after losing the rubber match yesterday 8-3, and also explain why Chris Sale doesn't have to replicate what he did last year in his Cy Young season, but has to be better than what he is right now. Finally, Mike and Abe close out hour three by diving into the life of Abe Gordon in The Life of Squid featuring Abe!

No fluff — just facts, futures, and fire. In Hour 2, Dave and Jensen zero in on the MLB weekend shakeups, including the Dodgers' hot bats, early Cy Young risers, and bullpen meltdowns you'll want to fade fast. Plus, how does UConn's second straight title impact next year's futures board? You're not just betting games — you're building edges. Let's go.

The future is indeed bright for Spencer Schwellenbach, and he is only going to get better. And as Chris Sale comes off of a Cy Young winning 2024 season, and a good looking start to 2025, he is being out-pitched by the Braves young phenom. Abe Gordon and Beau Morgan discuss the Braves rotation and start to the season with Fanduel sports network, and Braves' play-by-play broadcaster Brandon Gaudin.

The Word of the Day is Notable (0:00-11:31) John Clark joins the show to share his insights on the Phillies following their recent victory over the LA Dodgers. (11:31-20:46) The Question of the Day focuses on which individual career sports record is deemed the most unbreakable, aside from Wayne Gretzky's points record. Tyrone suggested LeBron James's scoring title, while Ricky pointed to Tom Brady's record of throwing touchdowns to 98 different receivers. Sylvana mentioned Cy Young's impressive win record of 511. (20:46-32:51) Our discussion then shifts to active players who might have the potential to surpass some of these seemingly unbreakable records. One listener proposed that Jalen Hurts could break Cam Newton's rushing touchdown record. (33:51-45:33) The weekend series against the Dodgers was a challenge, yet the Phillies emerged victorious. While challenges are inherent in the game, they successfully navigated the difficulties presented by the reigning champions.
