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.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about players receiving threats, the Rockies ineptitude and other betting stories around Major League Baseball. In this episode of "The Inside Pitch" recorded on May 12, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers discuss the controversy surrounding Lance McCullers Jr., his disastrous return, and the broader implications of gambling culture in MLB. McCullers, in his second start after a two-year injury hiatus, surrendered seven runs in a 10-run first inning against the Reds, registering just one out, giving up three hits, three walks, and one home run. Post-game, McCullers and his family received death threats, which Towers attributed to the toxic intersection of sports betting and fan entitlement. Towers emphasized that no athlete intentionally underperforms and that threatening players over wagers is unacceptable. Seidenberg concurred, adding that the accessibility of players via social media exacerbates the issue. McCullers expressed frustration, noting he only wants to perform for the Astros while ensuring his family's safety. Shifting focus to live betting strategies, Seidenberg recounted betting the Astros team total over 3.5 runs during the blowout, leveraging the assumption that weak bullpen arms would enter early. Towers supported this approach, explaining that such scenarios often lead to high-scoring games due to less effective relievers being used and pitchers potentially experimenting with pitches under low-pressure conditions. They dissected Brady Singer's outing, noting he stuck to his sinker-slider mix, throwing 30 sinkers, 15 sliders, and four cutters, struggling post the 45-minute delay. The discussion broadened to emphasize that blowouts offer learning opportunities for pitchers, enabling them to test pitches in-game situations they'd avoid in tighter contests. Attention turned to the Rockies' collapse, particularly their 21-0 loss to the Padres, followed by Bud Black's firing. Towers criticized the Rockies' misuse of pitchers, particularly exposing young arms like Blaylock to overwhelming situations, likely contributing to organizational dysfunction. Betting-wise, the Rockies were highlighted as historically profitable to fade, with 30 of their 33 losses by multiple runs and a 5-29 record in first-five innings. Seidenberg recommended automatic daily run line fades against the Rockies. Broader betting trends were analyzed, including the Mets' 29-12 first-five innings under record and the Royals' similar 30-12 mark. The Mariners surprisingly leaned to the over. The conversation shifted to player performance futures. Kyle Schwarber's 46-game on-base streak, 14 home runs, and .404 OBP were celebrated, with Seidenberg suggesting profitable betting strategies targeting Schwarber to reach base safely in his first plate appearance using various app markets. Josh Towers and Seidenberg also agreed that Freddie Freeman's .367 average and league-best OPS made him undervalued at +1100 for the NL MVP, criticizing how consistently elite players are often overlooked in futures markets. In Cy Young discussions, Wheeler was favored in the NL at +700 due to his 58 innings, 2.95 ERA, and 0.91 WHIP, while Skubal and Eovaldi were highlighted in the AL. Hunter Brown was noted as a legitimate contender, given his cleaned-up mechanics and plus stuff. The Rookie of the Year race saw Jacob Wilson as AL favorite, while Luis Angel Acuna led the NL despite modest power numbers, with Towers skeptical of his long-term viability. They concluded by discussing rookie dark horses and emphasized the difficulty pitchers face sustaining excellence across a full season, all while promoting Pregame.com's latest offers.

SUBSCRIBE to the channel to ensure you never miss a thing.   The Cincinnati Reds are currently mired in a frustrating three-game losing streak as of April 4, 2025, with each defeat coming by an identical score of 1-0. This skid, which follows a promising 14-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on March 31, has dropped the Reds to a 2-4 record early in the 2025 season. What makes this stretch particularly remarkable—and historically rare—is that it marks only the second time since 1920 that a Major League Baseball team has lost three consecutive games by a 1-0 margin, underscoring both the brilliance of Cincinnati's pitching and the utter collapse of its offense. The Reds' pitching staff has been nothing short of exceptional during this trio of losses. Across the three games—against the Rangers on April 1 and the San Francisco Giants on April 2 and 3—Reds hurlers have allowed just 12 hits and three runs, with starters like Nathan Eovaldi and Carson Spiers delivering standout performances. Eovaldi, for instance, tossed a complete-game shutout on April 1, only to see his effort wasted by a silent lineup. The bullpen has been equally stingy, keeping opponents in check but unable to secure a win due to a lack of run support. This level of pitching dominance should have Cincinnati sitting pretty, yet the team finds itself on the wrong end of history. Offensively, the Reds have hit rock bottom. After erupting for 14 runs in their series opener against Texas, they've been shut out for 27 straight innings, managing a meager nine hits while striking out 27 times over the three losses. Stars like Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain, who powered the early-season surge, have gone cold, leaving manager Terry Francona scratching his head. “We'll figure it out together,” Francona said postgame, a sentiment that reflects both optimism and urgency. The bats, which showed such promise, have vanished at a critical juncture. This streak isn't just a statistical anomaly; it's a wake-up call. While the Reds can't clinch a playoff spot in April, they can certainly dig themselves a hole. With a tough four-game set against the Milwaukee Brewers starting today, Cincinnati's offense must awaken fast—or risk letting stellar pitching go to waste in a season that began with postseason aspirations. Baseball's unpredictability is on full display, and for Reds fans, patience is being tested early

On April 2, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds face the Texas Rangers in the decisive third game of their series at Great American Ball Park, with first pitch set for 12:40 PM EDT. After splitting the first two games, the Reds aim to secure their first series win of the young season. The series opener saw Cincinnati's offense erupt for a 14-3 victory, powered by Elly De La Cruz's two home runs and seven RBIs, alongside Brady Singer's seven shutout innings in his Reds debut. However, the Rangers bounced back in Game 2, with Nathan Eovaldi delivering a masterful complete-game shutout, allowing just four hits in a 1-0 win, evening the series. Today's matchup features Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (0-0, 3.60 ERA) against Rangers righty Jack Leiter (1-0, 1.80 ERA). Greene, coming off a solid first start, will look to harness his electric fastball to stifle Texas' lineup, which has struggled offensively outside of Wyatt Langford's solo homer in Game 2. Leiter, fresh off his first MLB win, brings momentum but faces a Reds offense that showcased its potential in the opener. Cincinnati's key hitters, like De La Cruz and Gavin Lux, will need to solve Leiter early to avoid another quiet day at the plate. The Reds' pitching staff has shown promise, but consistency remains a question after Spiers' loss in Game 2. Defensively, Cincinnati must tighten up after De La Cruz's error in the field last night. With a daytime start and 67-degree weather in Cincinnati, conditions favor a competitive game. A Reds win would signal early-season resilience, while the Rangers hope to ride Eovaldi's momentum and steal the series on the road. Expect a tight contest as both teams vie for the upper hand in this final showdown.

Texas Rangers vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Rangers at Reds 6:40PM ET—Nathan Eovaldi will start for Texas. Eovaldi in 29 starts in 2024 had an ERA of 3.80 with WHIP of 0.50. The righthander struck out 23.9% with 6% walks. Ground balls sat at 48.3% with 1.21 home runs per nine innings. Eovaldi in his opening start allowed two earned runs with nine strikeouts in six innings at home to Boston. Carson Spiers will start for Cincinnati. Spiers appeared in 22 games last year with an ERA of 5.46 and WHIP of 1.53. The righthander struck out 19.5% with 6.6% walks. Ground balls were 35% with 1.99 home runs per nine innings.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Nathan Eovaldi is once again getting the Opening Day start, being relied on to start the Rangers' season in fine fashion. It's a big stage, which is exactly how Eovaldi has shown he likes it. Bradfo catches up with Eovaldi's former teammate and good friend Garrett Whitlock to talk about the impact Eovaldi has on and off the field, and why he is able to perform so well when it counts the most.

Nathan Eovaldi to start for Texas. Eovaldi had 29 starts a season ago, dealing an ERA of 3.80 with WHIP of 1.11. The righthander struck out 23.9% with 6% walks.

The fans do NOT share the optimism that Travis, Mego, and Arcand have. Mego: it is important to say what it means to be a big buyer.Travis: will the continue to make moves like this Paxton one? If it is smaller non-sexy moves with a good personality, it can help the team go on a run. I am willing to mortgage the future a little bit for Eovaldi or someone like that to make a reunion. Arcand: Their top three prospects are all in the top thirty in the MLB. Mego: there is still plenty of other prospects that you can trade. I get saying the top three are not touchable. Other than that, I do not care. Look at the returns for Arozarena and Puck.
