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.

Welcome to Episode 74 of Tablesetters! We're joined by a multi-platform voice in Tampa sports—Ryan Bass, who covers the Rays for FanDuel Sports Network Sun, reports nationally for NewsNation, and hosts with the Orlando Magic. We dive into everything shaping the 2025 Tampa Bay Rays season, starting with the unfortunate injury to Shane McClanahan and what it means for the Opening Day rotation. Ryan gives us the latest on McClanahan's status, clubhouse morale, and how the Rays plan to pivot. We explore the emergence of Curtis Mead after a scorching spring, Junior Caminero's slow start (despite the power), and whether the Rays will pursue a long-term extension for this potential cornerstore. Plus, Ryan breaks down Drew Rasmussen's comeback, Joe Boyle's upside, and the futures of Chandler Simpson and Carson Williams. We also step back to assess the AL East: Who's the team to beat? How do the Rays stack up against the Yankees, Orioles, Jays, and Red Sox in what may be baseball's most brutal division? From the front office's prospect-heavy trades to ongoing ballpark drama and ownership tensions, Ryan offers behind-the-scenes insight into a franchise at a crossroads. And we close with a fun one—Ryan's Mount Rushmore of Tampa Bay athletes, with some surprises in the mix. Follow us on Instagram and X @TablesettersPod for exclusive clips, polls, and extended content. Subscribe, share, and join the conversation—this is TableSetters, where every pitch sets the stage.

They used FantasyPros to navigate ADPs around the industry and landed on a slew of names - both pitchers and hitters - to target in your keeper startups. Join Pitcher List Plus and get an ad-free website and access to the Pitcher List Discord community, while supporting the podcast.Timestamps8:00 - Pete starts things off with Tarik Skubal, who he believes that - if everything goes right - could be a top 3 SP.13:43 - Chad thinks Corey Seager could provide some keeper value for 2025, even though he is already a late second/early third round player.16:19 - Pete is back on the Jazz Chisholm Jr. train. All aboard!19:26 - Chad sees Cole Ragans climbing draft boards and wants you to get in now to keep the 2025 keeper price lower.22:30 - Have people cooled on Shane Bieber too much? Pete is a belieber, and the velocity is up!26:43 - One year ago, Jordan Walker as the hottest commodity on the draft market. Now? It feels like people have forgotten about him. Chad likes the potential long-term cost.30:39 - Pete is excited to draft Jarren Duran in his keeper leagues, especially considering his post-150 cost.33:33 - Chad wants Riley Greene at his current cost and thinks there could be a lot of future value given his current 164 spot on FantasyPros ADP.37:28 - Byron Buxton is essentially free yet is still just 30 years old and has immense power.44:34 - Robert Stephenson is a little banged up right now, but it does feel like he will inevitably be the closer in Los Angeles.48:11 - Gavin Lux is interesting at his cost to Pete, Chad is less enthused.54:08 - Drew Rasmussen will miss most of the season, so he is basically free in drafts… get him! His keeper value for 2025 could be immense.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | TuneIn | Google Podcasts | RSSConnect: Twitter | keeporkut@gmail.com | Join PL+Get PL+ and join our Discord: https://pitcherlist.com/plus

Always one of our most humorous and knowledgeable guests we cover a range of topics including Shohei Ohtani and his blister (SERIOUSLY!) and Drew Rasmussen getting his 3rd Tommy John surgery.

Strong side platoon watch Isaac Paredes PT? Just 1 of 3 vs RHP Merrifield not a everyday player early on. Only 1 o f 3 vs rhp Luis Garcis leading off vs RHP IS a thing. Graham ashcraft season Ashcraft 3 pitch mix (at least 11%) but heavy cutter/slider usage +1.9 on slider and added 2in of horizontal break -1.2 mph on cutter MacKenzie Gore good outing M. Gore velo up on all secondaries and posted a 32% CSW% vs Braves. Impressive. This is with 63% fastball usage with FB sitting 94.7 mph on the day. In line with last year. Tanner Houck new cutter T. Houck velo down across the board. Yuck. Did feature a new cutter that he averaged around 90 mph on and threw it 27% of the time (2nd most of any pitch) A 40% CSW% - not too shabby Springs is amazing and featured a new sweeper. Springs is amazing and featured a new sweeper that he threw 12% of the time. Got a 40% CSW on it and a 41% CSW overall. Just another weapon for the budding star. Drew Rasmussen is interesting (tweet) Carlos Estevez sweeper? Carlos Estevez velo dipped yesterday-1.9 on 4-seam -2.3 on slider Ryan Weathers watchlist Musgrove returning. Could be odd man out +1.8 mph on 4-seam but lost movement. Could be an issue if it is too straight. 1.6 on sweeper but 5 inches added to vert. Break. And 2 inches to horizontal break. Had a 40% whiff rate. I want to see him throw more secondaries. Chapman big velo spike Kolten Wong and Jarred Kelenic sat 2 straight vs LHP Names to stash in deeper leagues: Senzel/ Votto/ Kirilloff Deep league note: Zack McKinstry getting strong side run with J. Schoop getting weak side. Braxton Garrett is an add M. Kepler DTD - next man up? E. Sosa strong spring and carrying it over. Can the PT be there?
