A high-stakes Monday schedule fundamentally shifted the fantasy landscape as ace starters faced starkly contrasting fates, strategic bullpen management unlocked massive streaming value, and a wave of superstar injury activations prepared to reshape active lineups. Corey Pieper returns to dive deep into a critical slate of performances, breaking down brilliant bounceback campaigns, alarming pitching regressions, crucial bullpen developments, and a fresh FanDuel Bet of the Day target. The elite pitching tier delivered extreme polarization to start the week. Kyle Bradish put together an absolute masterclass, stifling hitters across eight scoreless frames with nine strikeouts, while Michael King was equally spectacular, preservation-perfect over seven shutout innings with five punchouts. Brandon Woodruff was utterly electric in his return, silencing opposition bats with 10 strikeouts across six dominant, one-hit frames to hold off an equally sharp Brady Singer. Framber Valdez flashed stellar form with eight strikeouts over six frames of one-run ball, and Michael Wacha outdueled Drew Rasmussen by logging seven frames of one-run stability. Conversely, Gerrit Cole ran into an absolute buzzsaw, shelled for five earned runs on nine hard hits in a brief 4.1-inning exit, leaving fantasy managers sweating over his structural consistency. Meanwhile, strategic bulk-relievers stealing wins behind openers became an absolute goldmine; Eric Lauer fired six hitless, spectacular frames out of the bullpen, Alan Rangel tossed five innings of one-run ball, and highly touted prospect Kumar Rocker fanned nine batters across five stellar bulk frames to eclipse Tyler Phillips. The waiver and injury landscape is shifting beneath our feet with massive high-impact reinforcements on the immediate horizon. Fantasy managers can officially rejoice as Cincinnati's dynamic superstar Elly De La Cruz is locked in for his Tuesday activation from the hamstring injured list, while former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber is ready to make his long-awaited season debut for the Blue Jays. San Francisco is also on the verge of an incredible depth boost, with Francisco Lindor and flame-throwing righty Eury Perez trending aggressively toward a potential Wednesday return. On the critical tracking front, MVP centerpiece Bobby Witt Jr. sat out Monday's action but remains highly optimistic about avoiding a costly IL stint, while Kyle Tucker continues to manage lower back spasms. On the downside, both Dalton Rushing and Jeremy Peña triggered concern by leaving their respective contests early due to apparent physical tweaks. We wrap up the program with a comprehensive, deep-dive Bullpen Report tracking sudden closer instability. We analyze Ryan Helsley's uncharacteristic recent structural struggles, evaluate Jaden Hill's ascending leverage role in Colorado alongside Elvis Alvarado's concurrent high-leverage blown-save regression, navigate the cloudy late-inning committee situation for the Chicago Cubs, and dissect highly unusual, rough high-leverage outings from trusted anchors Cade Smith and Aroldis Chapman.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler open the new week on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a fully loaded Monday edition of Cash That Ticket, working through five MLB matchups and then delivering what Dave calls his strongest NFL win total call of the entire series so far on the Cleveland Browns. The guys come in off a split weekend, both taking their lumps and moving on with the goldfish memory approach that keeps the show rolling. On the baseball side, they start with the pitching matchup of the night in Detroit, where Garrett Cole faces Framber Valdez in a game the market has been moving aggressively, with the total climbing from seven and a half to eight and a half. Munaf lays out Cole's remarkable career dominance over the Tigers, a 10 and 1 record with a 1.84 ERA and the teams he has pitched for going 12 and 2 straight up, while Dave zeros in on the value of Cole at minus 130 and the case for a first five innings under before the bullpens get involved. In Toronto, Hunter Brown faces Dylan Cease in a matchup both hosts see as a first five innings situation, with the Astros bullpen too unreliable to back beyond that point and Cease's home splits revealing an ace-level pitcher who simply has not been getting run support. The Cubs and Mets game carries a significant weather caveat, with a 75 percent rain probability at Citi Field, but if it gets played both hosts fade Kodai Senga despite their deep skepticism about the Chicago offense, reasoning that Senga's recent run of seven home runs allowed and multiple short outings makes the Cubs the better side regardless. In Chicago, Munaf goes with the White Sox as a home underdog behind Anthony Kay, who carries a 3.08 home ERA and gets a Cleveland lineup that struggles against left-handed pitching. The Dodgers and Twins game draws both hosts to the Minnesota side, where Eric Lauer's brutal history against this specific team, thirteen earned runs in ten innings across his last two starts against the Twins, makes laying minus 155 with Los Angeles a non-starter. Both hosts land on the Twins at plus 128, with Munaf adding the Twins team total over in the first five innings. Dave closes the baseball segment with bonus looks at the Reds on the run line against Brendan Woodruff returning from the injured list, a possible under in Texas with Kumar Rocker, and the Red Sox in the first five at Coors. The second half of the episode belongs to the Cleveland Browns, who come in with a win total of six and a half and a roster that looks nothing like the team that went 5 and 12 last season. The Myles Garrett trade to the Rams for Jared Verse and three future draft picks wiped the slate clean, Todd Monken arrives as head coach with prior Cleveland experience and fresh Ravens divisional knowledge, and the quarterback room features Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel competing for snaps. Dave walks through a schedule that he calls extremely favorable, with the Panthers, Jets, Titans, Saints, Falcons, Colts and Giants all on the docket in winnable spots. He counts at least six wins from those matchups alone and calls this the team he feels most confident about in the win total series. Munaf throws out the bold take that the Browns could legitimately threaten for the AFC North title given that three of the four division teams have new coaches. Both hosts take the over. Best bets feature Dave on the Tampa Bay Rays minus half run in the first five innings behind Drew Rasmussen, who has been one of the most quietly dominant starters in baseball with a 0.88 WHIP and 29 strikeouts over his last three starts, and Munaf on the Yankees and Tigers first five innings under four and a half, backing both starters to control the early innings. Dave adds a weather-dependent bonus on the Cubs team total over four and a half against Senga and the Mets bullpen.

Kyle Tucker hit a game-tying three-run homer and later threw out the potential go-ahead run at home plate. Miguel Rojas hit a pinch-hit homer to break a 3-3 tie. Eric Lauer threw a quality start, and the bullpen was nails (or at least nails-adjacent). Add it all up, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays in game one of their three-game series.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner returns with the May 26 edition of What I Bet on the Straight Outta Vegas AM pregame.com podcast feed, covering a critical NHL elimination game and a full 13-game MLB slate in one of the busiest betting days of the early summer. On the ice, Griffin explains why he is not buying the Colorado Avalanche as road favorites against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final. The Avs fell 5-3 in Game 3 and now trail 3-0, with Nathan MacKinnon's knee injury after blocking a shot adding serious uncertainty to Colorado's roster situation. Cale Makar returned from his own upper-body absence but Griffin says he never looked fully himself, and the backhand goal from Tomas Hertl that extended Vegas's lead was the moment that defined the game. Golden Knights minus 102 is his play. On the baseball side, Griffin works through every matchup on the board, starting with the Washington Nationals and Cade Cavalli against the Cleveland Guardians and Joey Cantillo, leaning Cleveland at minus 130. He covers the Tampa Bay Rays and Griffin Jax against a bullpen game, with former Rays righty Shane Baz, now an Oriole, having pitched well against Tampa recently, and finds value in the under on total first five at plus 100. He leans to Keider Montero and the under in Detroit against the Angels and Jack Kochanowicz, backs Boston and Ranger Suarez plus 100 over Spencer Strider and the Braves because Strider still needs to prove his return from elbow surgery is complete, monitors Sandy Alcantara and Miami against the Blue Jays and Braydon Fisher in a bullpen game, and sides with the Mets and David Peterson over the Reds and Chase Burns in a battle where plus money is simply too attractive to ignore. Kyle Harrison has been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball since joining Milwaukee from Boston and Griffin respects him enormously but cannot pay minus 170. He leans under on Cam Schlittler and the Yankees against Kansas City and Bailey Falter after recounting how Lucas Erceg's blown save on a misplaced slider to Anthony Volpe cost him a two-unit win the night before. Joe Ryan and the Twins draw plus money from Sean Burke and the White Sox, making the under on seven and a half the natural lean. The Houston Astros no-hit Texas on Monday and Griffin reads that as a direct statement on how poorly the Rangers have been hitting and how difficult Globe Life Field plays, leaning under against Jack Leiter. Aaron Nola and the Phillies get the nod over Randy Vasquez and the Padres after Vasquez was scratched Monday and slid into Tuesday's spot. Emerson Hancock and Luis Severino shape up as a low-scoring Sacramento game, Eduardo Rodriguez and Tyler Mahle figure to keep it quiet at Oracle Park, and there is simply no case for backing Kyle Freeland and the Rockies at plus 206 in Los Angeles against Eric Lauer's Dodger debut. Griffin's Best Bet is the Pittsburgh Pirates and Braxton Ashcraft at minus 125 over the Cubs and Jordan Wicks, who is making his first big-league start of the season after being recalled from Triple-A Iowa following a stint on the IL.

The Blue Jays have a worse record all-time at the new (2009) Yankee Stadium than they do at cursed Tropicana Field, and this in this episode—recorded before yet another frustrating loss on Tuesday night—we talk about all about where these Blue Jays are at in the middle of this vital four-game set in the Bronx.Is John Schneider the right man for the job?

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning begin with thoughts on the Montreal Canadiens advancing to the Eastern Conference Final. They break down Alex Newhook's overtime winner, what has made the Canadiens' rebuild so successful, how impressive Jakob Dobeš has been, the impact of Martin St. Louis behind the bench, and whether Montreal has a chance to upset the Hurricanes. The conversation also shifts to what the rise of both Montreal and Buffalo means for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the increasingly difficult path through the Atlantic Division. After the break, the guys react to the Blue Jays series-opening loss to the Yankees. They discuss concerns around Yariel Rodríguez and the bullpen, questionable late-game at-bats from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer, the team's need for rotation health, the surprise trade of Eric Lauer, and whether the Jays still hold an edge over New York.

Jeff Spiegel, Jeff Snider, and Clint Pasillas react to the Los Angeles Dodgers' sweep of the Anahiem Angels. The bats appear to be back on track following a nice series from Shohei Ohtani and company. But the bigger story is the state of Dodgers' pitching. Roki Sasaki put together his best outing as a major leaguer. What went right for him? The guys discuss. Roki's breakout could not have come at a better time as the team will be without Blake Snell for an extended period of time following a procedure on his left elbow. To offset the loss of Snell, the Dodgers acquired veteran left-hander Eric Lauer from the Toronto Blue Jays. What will his role be? Sunday Dodgers talk LIVE!

Alanna Rizzo, Katie Woo, and Clint Pasillas recap the Dodgers' weekend sweep of the Angels. What went right and what went wrong for LA? (2:01) In the what went right column, Roki Sasaki's dominant start against the Halos. What went into this being his best start as a big leaguer? The hosts discuss. (9:59) Shohei Ohtani's bat has woken up. Did he just need a mental reset or is there more to him breaking out of his slump? Katie shares her insight.

Sho Alli and Jesse Rubinoff break down the Blue Jays' 4-1 win over the Tigers to win the series in Detroit! They take your calls and texts, and get to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. getting moved up to the two-hole and launching a home run in his first at-bat - can Vladdy build on this heading into the Yankees series? They discuss Daulton Varsho continuing to look good with a double and RBI triple, get into the updated bullpen Circle of Trust™ and chat about the return of Yariel Rodríguez. Plus, they get into a sterling start from Kevin Gausman, who threw six shutout innings of four-hit ball, and also discuss the news that the recently DFA'd Eric Lauer had been acquired by the Dodgers.   The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The Eric Lauer era is over. Long live 2025 Eric Lauer! But, unfortunately for the Blue Jays, the 2026 version of Lauer—the version that could barely crack 91 on his fastball—was clearly not going to a the rotation's saviour for a second season in a row, resulting in him being designated for assignment earlier in the week.Was his exit hastened by his weirdly public disgruntledness with his role? Is it fair to thrust Spencer Miles into the fifth spot in the Jays' rotation? Could Chad Dallas get a look? How close is Jake Bloss? Will Addison Barger really just need 10 days on the injured list? What on earth is up with Vladdy lately? And can Daulton Varsho's walk-off grand slam against the Rays maybe, finally be the turning point for this stuggling club?This week we search for the answers to these questions, and a whole lot more.

Kevin Gausman allowed six earned runs on ten hits in 4.2 innings, and Gunnar Henderson is hitting .205 with no home runs or steals since April 28, making them the two biggest dud stories on today's episode of First Cup Fantasy Baseball with host Corey Pieper.

Nunez picking up saves, and how Bryan Baker and Paul Sewald have been performing.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 8-5 loss vs. the Rays to kick off the three-game series in Toronto. They take your calls and texts, and discuss Kevin Gausman, as he notched his 2000th career strikeout but also gave up six earned runs over 4.2 IP - was there anything to him having back-to-back starts both against the Rays? They discuss Vladimir Guerrero Jr. going 0-for-4 - despite that line, is he close to turning it around? Plus, they get into Andrés Giménez blasting a pair of homers, Braydon Fisher hitting Jonathan Aranda, and the return of Yariel Rodríguez following Eric Lauer getting DFA'd earlier in the day.   The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open Tuesday's show by celebrating Kevin Gausman becoming the ninth active pitcher to reach 2,000 career strikeouts. The boys debate whether his résumé puts him on a Hall of Fame track, or rather the “Hall of Very Good.” They then break down the Rays' 8-5 win over the Blue Jays with thoughts on Tampa Bay's continued success against Toronto, Gausman's rough outing, the Jays' lack of walks, Eric Lauer being DFA'd, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s slow start. After the break, they discuss the Leafs' new front office choosing not to retain Shane Doan, Mats Sundin's comments about no-move clauses and what they could mean for Morgan Rielly's future. This hour wraps up with the latest golf report focusing on Jordan Spieth's pursuit of a career Grand Slam. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner hosts the latest episode of What I Bet on the Pregame Network and Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, returning after a short break at 5-3-1 over his last nine and ready for a long summer of World Cup soccer and Major League Baseball content, opening with a Friday soccer card that covers Serie A, Ligue 1, and the Bundesliga before running through every game on the MLB slate and delivering the What I Bet best bet. In Serie A, Griffin leans Sassuolo plus one at home against Cesc Fàbregas's Como, a newly promoted side that scores goals and offers real value as a home underdog while Como faces tactical distraction from their Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter midweek, and he leans under three goals in Inter's home match against Cagliari citing possible rotation of Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram for the cup match. In Ligue 1, he waits for Toulouse at plus one and a quarter or better against RC Lens in a game where the visiting side tends to perform above expectations in difficult road environments. In the Bundesliga, St. Pauli host FC Köln in a relegation six-pointer where Griffin expects St. Pauli to control possession and grind out a low-scoring physical game, leaning under two and a quarter to two and a half. On the MLB side he runs every game on the Friday board including Kodai Senga and the Mets at plus 124 against Edward Cabrera and the Cubs, Cleveland minus 135 with Tanner Bibee against Chris Bassitt and the Orioles, Tampa Bay over Pittsburgh in the Rays-Pirates game, Michael Wacha at plus 162 for Kansas City against Cam Schlittler and the Yankees, the Blue Jays-Diamondbacks over nine at plus money with Eric Lauer facing Michael Soroka given bullpen concerns for both clubs, Jacob deGrom against Logan Gilbert in the pitching matchup of the night where he wants a seven to play the under, and José Soriano continuing one of the best starts to a season in the American League while the Angels lean makes sense at a reasonable price against Matt Waldron and the Padres. The official best bet is the Braves at Phillies over nine and a half, with Taijuan Walker finding barrels consistently and Martín Pérez generating soft contact but enough traffic for runs to cross the plate on both sides.
