Podcast appearances and mentions of davis martin

The fantasy landscape is bracing for impact as dominant MVP frontrunner Aaron Judge remains entirely shut down from physical activity, stalling his recovery timeline indefinitely. Corey Pieper breaks down a high-stakes pitching landscape, devastating long-term prospect injuries, a seismic trade market update, and the latest FanDuel Bet of the Day. Roster managers face massive late-season fallout as Aaron Judge remains unable to resume baseball activities, Christian Walker exits early with acute hip tightness, and dynamic infielder Jeremy Pena suffers yet another frustrating physical setback. The pitching front is equally turbulent as the Chicago Cubs aggressively trade for right-hander Aaron Civale, the high-octane duo of Mick Abel and David Festa are both declared out for the season, Casey Mize exits his latest start early, and JoJo Romero lands on the injured list. Fortunately, reinforcement is on the horizon with Jameson Taillon's return imminent, Ranger Suarez tracking to be activated tomorrow, and Ronel Blanco scheduled to pitch Monday, though managers must monitor Will Smith's recurring neck issues, Samuel Basallo handling right shoulder discomfort, Shohei Ohtani being withheld from the mound, Corbin Carroll's daily status, and Blaze Alexander's long-term absence with a broken hand. An absolutely loaded performance slate features a masterclass on the bump and offensive explosions. Chris Sale fired seven dominant frames of zero-earned, two-hit ball with six strikeouts, Gerrit Cole struck out eight across six high-quality frames, and Jake Bennett, Pete Lambert, Brady Singer, Landen Roupp, Jared Jones, Brandon Pfaadt, Tarik Skubal, JT Ginn, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Paul Skenes, Shota Imanaga, Hunter Greene, and Logan Gilbert all logged stellar outings, while Troy Melton dueled Reid Detmers, Shane Bieber battled Davis Martin, Sean Burke matched up with Trey Yesavage, and Eury Perez went head-to-head with Robert Gasser. At the plate, Trea Turner and Fernando Tatis Jr. both went completely electric by blasting a home run and swiping a bag on Saturday, Jose Trevino launched two home runs, and huge performances rolled in from Junior Caminero, Sam Antonacci, Drake Baldwin, Ryan Jeffers, Elly De La Cruz, Spencer Steer, Andres Chaparro, Curtis Mead, Kody Clemens, Wilyer Abreu, Shane Drohan, Spencer Torkelson, Hunter Goodman, Jackson Merrill, Nolan McLean, Austin Riley, Francisco Lindor, Esmerlyn Valdez, Ty France, and Tyler Stephenson. Conversely, Christian Walker's night was cut short, Jonathan Aranda bottomed out with an 0-for-7 doubleheader collar, and Griffin Jax, Gage Jump, Rhett Lowder, Ian Seymour, Jake Bauers, Eduardo Rodriguez, Cam Schlittler, Noah Cameron, Zebby Matthews, and Munetaka Murakami all landed in the duds column. Our weekly Waiver Wire segment delivers deep-dive evaluation on priority targets available in more than 60% of leagues, isolating the long-term roster utility of Caleb Durbin, AJ Ewing, Ryan Jeffers, Bryce Eldridge, Garrett Mitchell, Shane Drohan, Roki Sasaki, and Kade Anderson.

Chicago White Sox at Toronto Blue Jays by Tony T. This matchup pairs Davis Martin, a right-hander, against Shane Bieber, a right-hander. Davis Martin enters with a 3.41 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 18 appearances and 18 starts, while Shane Bieber owns a 7.64 ERA and 2.04 WHIP through 4 appearances and 4 starts. The comparison below separates strikeout, walk, ground-ball and home-run prevention rates so bettors can evaluate the shape of each starter's performance without reducing the matchup to ERA alone.

The Blue Jays opened the second half of the season with one of their most disappointing performances of the year, falling 12–4 to the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. Toronto has now lost three straight games, sits at 45–52 and is 3.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot.On game preview 98 of Flight Deck, hosted by Dan Riccio, we break down another rough night for the Blue Jays' pitching staff. Spencer Miles allowed six runs on six hits over four-plus innings, including five runs in the second inning, as Toronto found itself facing another massive early deficit. How concerning was the team's first performance coming out of the All-Star break?The offence showed some power but was unable to create a sustained rally. Luis Urías, George Springer and Brandon Valenzuela each hit solo home runs, but Toronto finished with only seven hits and never seriously threatened to get back into the game. Can the Blue Jays turn those individual flashes of power into a more complete offensive performance?Unfortunately, things only got worse for the pitching staff as the game continued. Chicago added three runs in the fifth before exploding for five more in the seventh, led by Braden Montgomery's bases-clearing triple. Montgomery finished with four RBIs, Colson Montgomery drove in three and Sam Antonacci added a two-run home run. We'll discuss why Toronto has struggled so badly against a White Sox team that has now beaten the Blue Jays in all four meetings this season.Looking ahead, Shane Bieber takes the mound against Davis Martin in Game 2 of the series. Bieber enters with an 0–1 record and a 7.64 ERA, while Martin is 9–4 with a 3.41 ERA and 92 strikeouts. Martin has struggled recently despite his strong season totals, posting a 6.34 ERA across his last seven starts. Can Bieber build off a better outing against San Diego, earn his first win of the season and finally stop Chicago's dominance?Finally, with Toronto now sitting seven games below .500 and the trade deadline rapidly approaching, how much pressure is on the Blue Jays to turn things around immediately? At only 3.5 games outside of a playoff spot, can Ross Atkins still justify adding to this roster, or is the organization getting closer to becoming a seller?We finish with Dan's picks presented by bet365.LIVE every game day one hour before first pitch right here on the Blue Jays Nation YouTube channel and on Instagram @BlueJaysNation.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Flight Deck.Thanks to our partners:bet365: http://www.bet365.caTable Fare + Social: https://www.tablefoodhall.com/#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB #BlueJaysNation #FlightDeck Hosted on Acast.

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) discuss pitch tunnels and their impact on arsenal construction. The podcast starts by talking about what a pitch tunnel is and why it can be effective against all types of hitters (including Jordan Walker, who Nate has to give a mention to after the Home Run Derby win). They talk about how release points and movement can confuse a hitter in terms of pitch recognition and affect their decision window when it comes to making a swing. Then, they talk about all of the different ways that the public has attempted to quantify tunneling. The next segment discusses arsenal construction -- like what makes pitches good tunnel partners and how bridge pitches can be effective. Additionally, they talk about why it can be useful to have pitches that don't tunnel with one another. Finally, they close with players that have interesting tunnels & mixes: Davis Martin, Bryan Woo, Nolan McLean, and Paul Skenes.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. On this episode of Cash That Ticket, Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open by reviewing a one and one showing on Tuesday's best bets, highlighting a walk off win for the Miami Marlins on the moneyline against the Seattle Mariners and a missed over in the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres game that stalled out after a fast start. From there the pair moves into a loaded Wednesday slate, starting at (2:16) with Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees traveling to face Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays, breaking down McClanahan's dramatic split between a dominant May and a rough June, his shifting batted ball profile, and Cole's struggles against left handed hitters, before Essler leans toward the total and New York while Manji prefers the Rays in the first five innings, pointing to McClanahan's strong home numbers and Cole's road troubles. At (6:42) the focus shifts to Spencer Arrighetti and the Houston Astros against Foster Griffin and the Washington Nationals, where Manji digs into Arrighetti's sharply different walk rates at home and on the road and both hosts land on the Nationals team total going over, both for the full game and in the first five innings. At (10:21) the conversation turns to Jake Bennett and the red hot Boston Red Sox against Davis Martin and the Chicago White Sox, with Martin's perfect home record and stingy home ERA driving the hosts toward Chicago at home and the under, while Manji lays out Martin's specific history against Boston over the last two seasons. At (13:55) Jose Cabrera and the Arizona Diamondbacks visit Michael King and the San Diego Padres, and the hosts revisit King's strong history against Arizona this season while noting Cabrera's inexperience at the Triple-A level, settling on the Padres in the first five innings on the run line. At (17:23) Essler runs through the rest of the card, touching on the Cincinnati Reds, the Milwaukee Brewers bullpen usage after a heavy pitch count outing from Jacob Misiorowski, the Athletics against the Tigers, the Guardians and Twins, the Rangers and Angels, the lone day game between the Blue Jays and Giants, the Cubs and Orioles, the Mariners and Marlins, and a Royals and Mets series still shaking off a wild sixteen to twelve final from the night before. At (20:17) the show shifts into its NFL win total series, landing on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at eight and a half wins for 2026 after an eight and nine finish the year before. The hosts weigh the loss of Mike Evans to the San Francisco 49ers and the retirement of longtime linebacker Lavonte David against a healthier outlook for Baker Mayfield in a contract year, a young receiver group led by Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan, added depth back Kenneth Gainwell, and a manageable NFC South, ultimately leaning toward the over and projecting nine to ten wins while noting the stakes for head coach Todd Bowles if the team misses the playoffs again. The episode wraps at (31:01) with best bets from both hosts, Essler on the Padres in the first five innings and Manji on the Nationals team total over, along with one final look ahead to a potential fade on the Brewers rotation before Thursday's show, which turns to the Jacksonville Jaguars win total and more of the week's baseball results, plus a reminder about the latest pregame.com promo code for listeners looking to save on second half baseball coverage.

The fantasy baseball community received brutal news as Kansas City Royals ace Cole Ragans underwent a UCL repair surgery that will sideline him for the next 10 to 12 months. Corey Pieper breaks down a devastating injury wave, sweeping league suspensions, a major lineup shakeup in Houston, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. A volatile day on the medical and disciplinary fronts sees Willson Contreras and Cade Cavalli hit with 7-game suspensions, while Miles Mikolas receives a 5-game suspension. Meanwhile, the Houston Astros have moved Cristian Javier to the bullpen, Matt McLain is beginning to see reps in center field, and Brandon Nimmo continues to sit out with a lingering shoulder injury. Roster managers must also adjust for Jason Adam landing on the injured list with a shoulder strain, Dustin May getting forced out after just two outs by a dangerous comebacker, and Kenley Jansen curiously being brought into the 7th inning of a blowout loss. On the positive side, dynamic starter Hunter Greene is officially locked in to return to the mound. Daily performance highlights feature a spectacular pitching duel where Jacob Misiorowski racked up ten strikeouts over five dominant frames against Chase Burns. Nathan Eovaldi fanned nine over five innings, Ian Seymour struck out nine across six one-hit frames, and Walbert Urena battled Bryce Miller in a stellar pitching showcase. Offensively, Brandon Marsh and Mickey Moniak triggered heavy production, Jake McCarthy shined as Colorado erupted for 14 runs, and Sal Stewart, Jordan Walker, and Carter Jensen all launched home runs alongside foundational standouts Dalton Rushing and Kyle Tucker. On the negative side, Framber Valdez collapsed for five earned runs with just a single strikeout, Davis Martin struggled heavily through 3.1 frames, Junior Caminero turned in an empty 0-for-5 day, and Roki Sasaki suffered a brutal daily regression. The Pitching Planner segment lays out direct tactical management strategies for the weekend, specifically profiling Logan Gilbert's upcoming start with Emerson Hancock scheduled to follow him out of the bullpen on Saturday.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford officially lands on the injured list after suffering an unexpected physical setback. Corey Pieper breaks down structural managerial firings, significant minor league promotions, the weekly Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The medical and transaction wire is in complete chaos as the New York Mets fire manager Carlos Mendoza, Tony Santillan lands on the injured list with an oblique strain, and Marcelo Mayer, Robert Suarez, and Jesus Sanchez all hit the injured list. Meanwhile, Wyatt Langford hits the shelf, Tyler Soderstrom battles hip tightness, and Kai-Wei Teng is demoted, though fantasy managers receive reinforcements with Konnor Griffin returning, Hurston Waldrep being recalled, Adley Rutschman returning from the injured list, Sean Keys and Miguel Ulola earning promotions, Simeon Woods Richardson hitting waivers, Carlos Santana signing with the Braves, and Tommy Pham joining the Phillies on a minor league deal. Daily performance metrics highlight a stacked group of standouts as Hunter Goodman, Jake Bennett, David Peterson, Logan Webb, Kazuma Okamoto, Seiya Suzuki, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Luis Garcia Jr., Ryan O'Hearn, Sonny Gray, Junior Caminero, Brandon Woodruff, Esmerlyn Valdez, Chris Sale, and Kerry Carpenter deliver big games, while Michael Wacha clashes with Davis Martin and Robbie Ray battles Chris Sale. Conversely, a massive list of foundational aces completely imploded, with Dylan Cease, Logan Gilbert, Gerrit Cole, Andre Pallante, Chase Burns, Kyle Bradish, Michael King, Anthony Kay, Roki Sasaki, Jared Jones, and Spencer Arrighetti all relegated to the duds section. Our weekly Waiver Wire segment provides direct tactical targets to optimize your active roster, specifically breaking down the immediate priority additions of Heliot Ramos, Bryce Eldridge, AJ Ewing, Joey Cantillo, and Brandon Young.

Marshall Harris and Gabe Ramirez were joined by Chicago Sports Network host Chuck Garfien to discuss the latest White Sox storylines, including how many All-Stars they'll have this summer.

Chuck Garfien sits down with Brian Kenny to discuss whether the White Sox are for real and what their recent stretch against the Braves and Dodgers says about the team's progress. Brian compares the White Sox rebuild to successful turnarounds from the past, weighs their chances of winning the AL Central, and breaks down the breakout seasons of Miguel Vargas and Davis Martin. They also discuss the role of technology in hamate bone injuries, preview his upcoming conversation with Ozzie Guillén, and look back on his memorable debate with legendary White Sox announcer Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson on MLB Network.

Welcome to the **True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast** — BIG-Z and the boys have a LOT to talk about today!

Clint Scott and Dr. Mike Gustafson discuss Brendan Sorsby and Texas Tech Football deciding to mutually part ways and Sorsby will enter supplemental draft, the start of the season for Chicago White Sox pitcher and former Red Raider Davis Martin, as a Red Raider fan how will you view Sorsby going forward, Play of the Day highlights Will Hammond getting the reigns and now being the starting Quaterback once he comes back from his injury, reactions to the two week Sorsby Saga. 

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox just had one amazing week. The Sox took two of two from the Atlanta Braves then took two of three from the LA Dodgers. Outstanding performances from Davis Martin, Chase Meidroth and the new kid on the block: Braden Montgomery. The Sox are tied with Cleveland at the top of the Central and have a big week on the road in New York and Detroit. This team is special and with Teel on his way, it's a great time to be buyers. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox! #WhiteSox

In the final hour, Leila Rahimi, Marshall Harris and Mark Grote were joined by Yahoo Sports insider Russ Dorsey to discuss the Cubs' struggles and the White Sox ascending to first place in the AL Central. After that, White Sox ace Davis Martin joined the show to discuss his breakout season and the team's continued success.

Episode 171 of Tablesetters is LIVE! We open with the first place Chicago White Sox, who suddenly sit atop the AL Central at 36-31 after starting the season 6-13. We break down whether this surge is actually sustainable, how Chicago has gone 29-17 since April 18, why their top-five offense has changed the entire outlook, and how Munetaka Murakami, Colson Montgomery, Miguel Vargas, Davis Martin, and top prospect Braden Montgomery have turned the White Sox into one of baseball's best stories. From there, we dive into Bryce Eldridge's unbelievable signature moment in San Francisco. Just two days after striking out with a chance to tie the game, the 21-year-old rookie launched an ultimate grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to complete an 11-10 Giants comeback over the Nationals. We discuss the Giants erasing a 9-1 deficit, Eldridge becoming the youngest player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam, Matt Chapman's monster game, and one of the most improbable wins in franchise history. We also discuss Ronald Acuña Jr. landing back on the injured list with another Grade 1 left hamstring strain, what it means for the Braves, and the bigger question of whether he is still a superstar. Acuña's 2023 MVP résumé is undeniable, but with two IL stints this season, multiple major injuries since 2021, and current numbers below his usual standard, the conversation has shifted from talent to availability. Plus, Drew Rasmussen dominates the Red Sox with a career-high 13 strikeouts over seven shutout innings, Max Scherzer reaches 3,500 career strikeouts while his season-long struggles continue, the Athletics and Brewers turn Las Vegas Ballpark into a launching pad, Dalton Rushing's villain reputation grows after another controversial slide, and we make our official Men's College World Series picks with Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, West Virginia, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Troy all fighting for Omaha.

Oneil Cruz is headed to the injured list with a broken left hand and is expected to miss at least four to six weeks. Joe Bond breaks down the latest news, the Rankings segment, and previews the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Will Smith is ticketed for the injured list, while Kodai Senga and Ryan Helsley are resuming rehab assignments. Garrett Crochet admits his strain is worse than expected, and Seth Lugo leaves early after being hit by a comebacker. Brent Rooker sits with knee soreness, and Matthew Boyd will not start this weekend. Today's performance listings feature Matt Chapman, Tyler Callihan, Caleb Durbin, Logan O'Hoppe, Byron Buxton, Davis Martin, Drew Rasmussen, George Kirby, Reid Detmers, Jesus Luzardo, and Shota Imanaga as studs. Jake Bauers, Trea Turner, Riley Greene, Zach Neto, Michael Harris II, Ryne Nelson, Max Scherzer, Robbie Ray, Parker Messick, and Framber Valdez are listed as duds. In the weekly Rankings segment, Hunter Goodman, Pete Alonso, Jeremy Pena, Josh Hader, and Logan Webb emerge as risers. Meanwhile, Trey Yesavage, Spencer Strider, and Jose Soriano are sliding down as fallers. First Cup Fantasy Baseball drops every weekday around 9 AM ET on The F6P Hour.

Welcome to the True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast…BIG-Z and the boys got a LOT to talk about today!”Tonight on the True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast, we carry heavy hearts into one of the biggest episodes we've ever recorded. We open with a full, emotional tribute to Chicago Bulls legend and beloved broadcaster Stacey King, who passed away Sunday at just 59 years old after a fall at his home. We break down what he meant as a player on three championship teams alongside Michael Jordan, and celebrate his 20-year broadcasting career — his iconic catchphrases, his legendary calls, and why he belongs in the same conversation as Harry Caray, Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, Pat Foley & Eddie Olczyk, and Jeff Joniak & Tom Thayer. Then we get into the Cubs, the White Sox, and the Bears news that is shaking the entire city of Chicago to its core.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner is back on the What I Bet Podcast, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM Podcast Network at Pregame.com, covering every major betting angle for Tuesday, June 2nd, beginning with Game 1 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals and running through a full 14-game Major League Baseball slate. Before diving in, Griffin reminds listeners that promo code GRIFFIN50 at Pregame.com gets you $50 off his All Access package through the All-Star break, dropping the price from $249 to $199 and locking in every pick through mid-July. The deadline is July 8th. Starting with the NHL, Griffin lays out his case for the Vegas Golden Knights as a plus-money play in Raleigh. Carolina enters as heavy home favorites after losing just one game across three playoff rounds, but that loss came in Game 1 of the Eastern Final after an extended layoff, a detail Griffin finds relevant as Vegas arrives with its own rest-and-rust dynamic following a sweep of the Colorado Avalanche. Cale Makar's injury limited Colorado at key moments, which gives the Golden Knights some credit for how they navigated that series. Griffin likes Vegas on the money line at plus-132, the series price at plus-127, and is targeting the under six rather than under five and a half to avoid the empty-netter problem that has burned under bettors throughout these playoffs. The MLB breakdown covers every game on the board. Griffin passes on the Padres and Phillies despite a soft Nola start because the overall offensive environment makes it a coin flip. He moves past Detroit and Tampa Bay after finding Jack Flaherty unbackable at any number in his current form and the Rays too expensive for his framework. He finds a clear lean in Washington, where the Nationals are priced at a shockingly cheap minus-111 against Miami's bullpen game, and C.J. Abrams, James Wood, and the rest of a hot-hitting club make that number feel like a gift. Baltimore and Boston shape up as a borderline under at Fenway, and Griffin acknowledges the park's history of eating unders alive before moving on. Cam Schlittler and the Yankees are simply too dominant to fade at any price. Noah Cameron gets some love from Griffin but the Royals bullpen situation, highlighted by a rough week from closer Lucas Erceg, makes Kansas City impossible to trust even if the starter delivers. The Braves look cheap at minus-122 against Toronto, and Bryce Elder's 2026 track record in Atlanta earns Griffin's lean in that direction. Kyle Harrison's continued dominance in Milwaukee, now at 18 consecutive scoreless innings, makes the former top prospect one of the more fascinating stories on the June 2nd card, though Griffin passes on the game itself. Davis Martin and the White Sox visiting Minnesota provides little grip for Griffin, who moves quickly. In St. Louis, he finds one of the night's more interesting numbers at plus-100 on the Cardinals with Dustin May facing Nathan Eovaldi, noting the Rangers' home run problems and Jordan Walker's hot stretch as reasons to look at the Cardinals price. Gage Jump's early big-league exposure at Wrigley Field against Jameson Taillon in a wind-in environment is a situation Griffin monitors but does not commit to. Mike Burrows and Houston get a lean at minus-110 against Pittsburgh. Grayson Rodriguez and the Angels as minus-155 against the Rockies is a price Griffin finds heavy given Rodriguez's injury history, though Colorado plus-140 is a number he admits he will be tracking closely before first pitch. And Michael Soroka's plus-107 price against the Dodgers in Arizona becomes the final talking point, with Griffin identifying his buy price at around plus-100 and expressing genuine affinity for the Diamondbacks in that spot. The official What I Bet Best Bet to close the show is the Washington Nationals minus-112, a number Griffin calls simply too cheap against a Miami team running a bullpen game. The show is three and one over its last four Best Bets.

Remember, they also have a bunch of deferred money kicking in with Ohtani, etc. one thought is as they deal with the bad contracts, they promote all their young kids as cheap alternatives as the Mookies of the world become backup players. So cheap everyday players and expensive backups. Besides Betts and Smith, freeman, Tucker, Teoscar all are done in three more years. The strategy might work. I will say that Smith's contract looks the worse but he's also the most reasonable. They might have to buy him out.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Griffin Warner — Real_G Warner — is back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a tight, focused episode of the What I Bet Podcast, courtesy of the Pregame.com Podcast Network, breaking down the full Major League Baseball slate for Thursday, May 28, 2026. With the Vegas Golden Knights having swept the Colorado Avalanche and hockey winding down for the postseason's next round, Thursday belongs to baseball, and Griffin walks through every game on the card with the analytical directness his audience expects. The episode covers six MLB matchups, opening with the getaway day game in Detroit where Grayson Rodriguez takes the hill for the Los Angeles Angels against Jack Flaherty and a Tigers team that, in Griffin's view, is paying a significant salary for one of the worst-performing starters in the American League. Griffin makes the case for the Angels at plus-113 and leans toward the over at plus-105 on a nine-run total before the number potentially tightens. In Chicago, Kendry Rojas starts for Minnesota against Davis Martin and a White Sox team that has been genuinely better than the industry expected this season, with Griffin giving Chicago its proper credit and acknowledging that the minus-138 price reflects real performance. The afternoon game at Fenway Park brings Chris Sale back to Boston for the Atlanta Braves, squaring off against young Red Sox lefty Payton Tolle. Griffin likes what he has seen from Tolle but is unwilling to play the under at seven and a half minus-130 at Fenway, noting that Boston's home park is simply not the right environment for that construction, and leaving the Red Sox money line as the only possible play in the game, if anything. In Baltimore, Patrick Corbin and Chris Bassitt meet in a matchup Griffin describes as two veterans fighting to justify their roster spots, and he takes the Blue Jays at plus-116, pointing to Corbin's underappreciated resurgence and his skepticism of the Orioles as a roster-construction project. The Cubs visit Pittsburgh for the series finale against Paul Skenes, and while Griffin respects the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner as the best pitcher in baseball, the plus-149 number on Chicago is interesting enough to note alongside what he identifies as the stronger analytical play, the under seven and a half. Late in Arlington, Spencer Arrighetti takes a plus-135 number on the road for Houston against Nathan Eovaldi and the Rangers, and Griffin lands on the under seven and a half as a split play across the first five innings and the full game to manage variance in a park that consistently suppresses scoring. The episode closes with Griffin's What I Bet Best Bet: Cubs versus Pirates, under seven and a half, with Skenes on the mound and two offenses unlikely to generate the kind of volume needed to push past that total.

The single-elite-pitch era is closing out. Hitters caught up. Flatter swings, simpler load patterns, machine prep against any movement profile, and the discipline to ride out their front side mean a 70-grade four-seamer alone doesn't survive third time through the order anymore. The new edge is repertoire.Trevor and Dan break down why pitching development has shifted toward stacking multiple fastballs at the same velocity. Zach Wheeler throws three. Paul Skenes throws three. Cam Schlittler, Peyton Tolle, Davis Martin, Christopher Sanchez — all riding multi-fastball mixes that defeat the single-pitch sit. The conversation moves through tunneling, weak contact and stolen strikes as the new market inefficiencies, why Stuff+ models miss repertoire interaction, and Corbin Burns as the canonical case study where a "below-average" sinker existed to make a 120-grade cutter play.Chapters00:00 — Open / Mother's Day intro01:53 — The multi-fastball trend: Soriano, Schlittler, Joe Ryan, Peyton Tolle02:22 — The Zach Wheeler model: why hitters caught up, and the Trajekt machine03:58 — Mizorowski as the velocity outlier04:58 — Christopher Sanchez: when even an elite pitch starts getting hunted07:22 — Corbin Burns: cutter as the engine, sinker as the steal12:46 — The two missed market inefficiencies: weak contact and stolen strikes16:48 — Peyton Tolley: adding a C-grade sinker to make a 70-grade four-seamer play21:54 — Davis Martin: 60% fastball, three variations, nothing graded above average, sub-2 ERA23:19 — Joey Volcheck and Georgia: the trend reaching college baseball24:40 — IPitch / Trajekt: how hitter prep changed the math32:17 — Multi-fastball relievers: Vodnik, Mejia, Perkins41:22 — The Stuff+ blind spot: how do you grade repertoire interaction?51:00 — Closing thoughts
