-- Chris Sale is not human as Braves get much-needed win-- Left field remains a black hole as Alex Verdugo has become unplayable-- Kirk Cousins arrives to Falcons mini camp-- Will Trae Young force Hawks to give him a max contract-- US Open predictions

HR2 - Minicamp important for Michael Penix Jr. & Falcons to establish more chemistry In hour two Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac talk about the Atlanta Falcons starting mandatory minicamp today, and former Falcon Mike talks about how minicamp is all about focusing on terminology and communication. Then, Mike, Beau, and Ali continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves snapping their seven game losing streak by beating the Milwaukee Brewers last night 7-1 in what was a complete team performance. The Morning Shift crew also talks about how Braves' starting pitcher Chris Sale has reverted back to his Cy Young form after the rough start he had at the beginning of the season, and then reacts to the latest news, rumors, and reports in the NFL as they go In The Huddle. Mike, Beau, and Ali also react to a list of college football's 25 most dynamic players of the past 25 years that Brad Crawford of CBS Sports put out, and debate whether or not former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow belongs on the list.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg thinks Don Kelly is in this for the long-haul and is not the interim manager of the Pirates. We are starting to see Bryan Reynolds heat up a bit, and he's not the only hitter you can say that about. Kelly is actually 15-11 in complete games managed this season, an even better mark than his 15-14 overall record. Can Paul Skenes win the Cy Young with a losing record or are voters still do dead-set on wins and losses? Brownie said Kelly is not afraid as Pirates manager to take chances and risks during games, unlike what we saw from Derek Shelton most of his tenure. Greg was surprised we didn't see Bubba Chandler during this homestand and isn't sure when he arrives. Brownie questioned how good Chandler will be when he's here. If we could ask Aaron Rodgers a question today, what would you ask him? Aaron Rodgers has started talking to the media at the Steelers facility. Wet got on a tangent about when Renegade is played.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Donny Chedrick: Paul Skenes now has a 1.88 ERA but a 4-6 record. Donny and Austin think Skenes will be the first pitcher with a losing record to win the Cy Young. The Pirates have promoted Konnor Griffin to High-A Greensboro after dominating with the Single-A Bradenton Marauders. We all would have bypassed Greensboro and promoted Griffin to Double-A Altoona.

Paul Skenes now has a 1.88 ERA but a 4-6 record. Donny and Austin think Skenes will be the first pitcher with a losing record to win the Cy Young. It heightens the need for offense. Bob likes how Don Kelly has managed and is trusting his gut. Donny thinks the Pirates should take calls on Bailey Falter.

Dan Zangrilli jumps on with Poni to talk about whether or not Paul Skenes could win the Cy Young Award this year, if Don Kelly will be back in 2026, if he's ever done hard drugs, and more!

The Nats got a taste of their own recent medicine as Texas blanked them 5-0 on Saturday afternoon on South Capitol Street.  Al & Mark run through some of the recent offensive slumps as the team has only scored nine runs in their past six games.  (05:00) Nathaniel Lowe went 1 for 3 in facing his former team. Lowe's OPS is a troubling .650, much lower than when it was .785 at the end of April. His last homer came on May 16th in Baltimore.(09:45) Jacob deGrom was dominant on Saturday in seven shutout frames and looked like the pitcher we remember from the Mets. The two-time Cy Young winner has undergone a pair of Tommy John surgeries.(15:40) Mitchell Parker continued his trend of struggling in the 1st inning, but then settled in from there.  Hear what Davey Martinez said when asked by Mark about the possibility of using an "Opener".(24:00) It was not Cole Henry's day as he issued three walks and a balk. Eduardo Salazar has the roughest afternoon as he allowed three runs in the top of the 8th to let the game get out of reach.

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.
