As co-Host of The Mets Pod, Joe brings his in-depth knowledge of the Mets and their farm system to the fore and explains it for all of us. And of course he tells us…what's good to eat while watching the ballgame. *Music by Podington Bear

Griffin Warner talk betting for Friday. Griffin Warner is back on the What I Bet podcast with one of the most loaded Friday cards of the season, covering a Champions League final preview, a potential series-ending Game 5 in the NHL Eastern Conference Finals, and a full fourteen-game Major League Baseball slate from first pitch to the night's marquee showdown in Los Angeles. Warner opens with a quick look at Arsenal and PSG preparing to meet in Hungary on Saturday, noting that both clubs play a possession-dominant style that would make the final an exercise in control and patience. The hockey segment takes center stage early as Warner dissects the situation facing the Montreal Canadiens, who arrived in Carolina as a plus 199 money line underdog trying to avoid elimination after a dominant Game 1 gave way to three straight losses. He walks through the series odds, the compressed total of 5.5 at nearly even juice, and the possession dynamics that have kept Montreal trapped in their own zone, comparing Carolina's shot-volume approach to the ball-control philosophy of the two Champions League finalists. His clearest hockey lean is the under, supported by a secondary interest in Montreal's puck line at plus 1.5. The baseball analysis begins with Atlanta and Grant Holmes visiting Cincinnati and Chris Paddock, where Warner leans over, before working through Lucas Giolito's road start for San Diego against Washington and the potential value in the Nationals as a home underdog given their surprising offensive output. Pittsburgh and the long-awaited return of Jared Jones from internal brace surgery draws a careful look against Taj Bradley and Minnesota, with Warner favoring the under given Jones's extended absence and bullpen volatility on both sides. The Miami Marlins and Max Meyer visiting Freddy Peralta and the Mets produce an under lean consistent with a matchup Warner faded successfully the previous week. He moves through Walbert Ureña and Los Angeles at Tampa, Boston's minor league call-up visiting Cleveland and Slade Cecconi, Shōta Imanaga and the Cubs visiting St. Louis, Troy Melton and a struggling Detroit team road-favored against the White Sox and Erick Fedde, Stephen Kolek on a post-complete-game fade against MacKenzie Gore in Texas, Coleman Crow on the road for Milwaukee in Houston against Kai-Wei Teng, Logan Webb and the Giants visiting Colorado where Warner leans over and toward the Rockies, Carlos Rodón and the Yankees at the Sacramento Athletics and Luis Severino, Zac Gallen and Arizona at Seattle in a stay-away situation, and finally Zach Wheeler and the Phillies arriving in Los Angeles as plus 103 road underdogs against Justin Wrobleski, where Warner leans to Philadelphia as a coin-flip spot with positive expected value. The What I Bet Best Bet lands on the Cleveland Guardians and Slade Cecconi at minus 115, a number that climbed from minus 113 during the recording session as confirmation of the direction.

A sweep in Wrigley Field followed by a series-opening win against the Dodgers continued a torrid stretch for the Brewers, although back-to-back losses to close the week killed the mojo a bit. It sure feels like the Brewers will see these teams in the race for the division and NL pennant; did we learn anything about those potential clashes? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the team's pitching excellence, some enigmatic work from Brandon Sproat and Robert Gasser, the weak corridor of the lineup and the Class AAA options that remain available, and is there even a remote chance the team would entertain a trade for Tarik Skubal ... or Freddy Peralta?In Three Up Three Down (38:00), they discuss a PCA inside-the-park adventure, the unique way the Brewers have used relievers, Tarps Off and the latest test passed by Jacob Misiorowski. In Remembrew When (57:00), JR looks back at a far more dubious sweep of the Cubs. And Curt Blanche (1:00:00) tackles a fashion motif that happens to be in JR's wheelhouse.Then, JR sits down with Brewers broadcaster Vinny Rottino (1:05:30), discussing his Racine roots, his fascinating playing career (including a thrilling late-season win), how he got started in broadcasting and where he hopes to go from here.

The Mets gave their fans a thrilling Subway Series moment, but the bigger question is whether it can actually become the start of something meaningful. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber look past the emotion of beating the Yankees and focus on the path ahead, from getting back to .500 to proving this team can stay relevant into the summer. The guys also examine why the Mets still need cleaner baseball despite winning five of six, including defensive mistakes, pitching concerns, and Freddy Peralta's inability to work deep into games. The conversation closes with a wider look at how quickly baseball expectations can shift and why even the Dodgers' dominance does not make the season feel decided.

Looking ahead, how would you feel in 5 years if the Knicks make the Finals but come up short? Also, are the Mets really considering trades for Freddy Peralta? What kind of indictment would that have on David Stearns? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Milwaukee Brewers completed a sweep of the New York Yankees this past weekend that included back-to-back walk-off wins to help them crawl a little closer to the top of the NL Central. However, it was something their young ace did in his start that stole the headlines for the series. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the emergence of Jacob Misiorowski as the true number one in the Brew Crew's pitching staff after he threw some of the fastest pitches ever by a starting pitcher en route to helping Milwaukee secure the win. Even though the Brewers traded away former ace Freddy Peralta this past offseason, “The Miz” is grabbing the number one spot by the horns and might not relinquish it for a long time. Later, Jake and Jordan talk about the Atlanta Braves taking two of three from the Los Angeles Dodgers in what could be a possible NLCS preview come October, and they get into the interesting trade for baseball “sickos” that went down between the San Francisco Giants and the Cleveland Guardians. The guys then recap all the other action from this past weekend in baseball, including the New York Mets not having a great road trip, the Texas Rangers cooling off the Chicago Cubs a little and Kyle Schwarber not slowing down in the home run department. 2:26 - The Opener: The Miz throws fire 17:16 - Why the Brewers are just getting going 26:29 - Around The League: Possible NLCS matchup 33:03 - Remembering Bobby Cox 37:34 - Giants & Guardians make a trade 53:32 - Turbo Mode: Rest of weekend action Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

NY Mets vs. Colorado Rockies MLB Pick Prediction by tony T. Mets at Rockies 9:20 PM ET—Freddy Peralta gets the start for NY. Peralta in seven starts carries an ERA of 3.52 with WHIP of 1.20. The right hander fans 25.6% with 9.8% walks. Grounders are 42.6% with 0.94 home runs per nine innings. Michael Lorenzen is starting for Colorado. Lorenzen appeared in eight games posting an ERA of 6.09 with WHIP of 1.76. The righty strikes out 14.6% with 5.5% walks. Ground balls sit at 46.9% with 1.59 home runs per nine innings. A FIP of 5.08.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Griffin Warner returns for Episode 33 of What I Bet with a full Thursday betting card breakdown across Major League Baseball and the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The show opens with a quick look back at a winning Chicago Cubs underdog pick before moving into a busy MLB slate led by Detroit at Atlanta, where Framber Valdez as a plus money underdog against Bryce Elder immediately catches Griffin's attention. The Braves have been dangerous offensively, with Ronald Acuña Jr. heating up and the bullpen holding together better than expected after Raisel Iglesias went on the injured list, but Detroit's matchup still creates value because Griffin likes backing Framber Valdez in underdog roles. From there, the card shifts to St. Louis at Pittsburgh, where Hunter Dobbins faces Paul Skenes and the under becomes the main question if Dobbins can do enough to support the low total. Houston at Baltimore brings Peter Lambert against Chris Bassitt, and Griffin points to Bassitt's struggles, Houston's strong hitting, and the Astros' pitching problems as reasons over nine could be live. Colorado at Cincinnati gives Andrew Abbott another important test against the Rockies, with Griffin noting that Cincinnati has not yet played in the kind of heat that can punish a fly ball pitcher. Washington at the New York Mets becomes a run line discussion, as Griffin is not eager to lay a big price with the Mets and instead finds Washington plus one and a half runs more interesting with Miles Mikolas facing Freddy Peralta. The strongest MLB position comes in Arizona at Milwaukee, where Michael Soroka faces Brandon Woodruff. Griffin likes the Brewers at minus 120, pointing to Woodruff's improved control, Soroka's durability concerns, and Arizona's early body clock spot. Kansas City against the Athletics in Sacramento brings interest in both the Royals and under nine and a half, with Griffin pushing back on the idea that the park should already be priced like peak summer conditions. Toronto at Minnesota closes the baseball portion, with Kevin Gausman against Bailey Ober and the under drawing some attention despite concerns about Minnesota's bullpen. The NHL playoff section begins with Dallas at Minnesota, where Griffin has a live viewing perspective after attending multiple games in the Stars and Wild series. He believes Minnesota has looked like the better team overall and is more drawn to the total than the Dallas side. Edmonton at Anaheim closes the betting breakdown, with the Oilers trying to stay alive and the Ducks holding a 3 to 2 series lead. Griffin expects strong Edmonton fan support in Anaheim, questions whether Connor McDavid is fully healthy, and says Anaheim plus money is tempting after a competitive series. The episode finishes with a Pregame promo code and the official What I Bet best bet, Milwaukee Brewers minus 120 behind Brandon Woodruff. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sal Licata is back from vacation and he needs a break from his vacation. Sal is finding it harder and harder to get excited about things like the Mets announcing Freddy Peralta is the opening day starter. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ron Darling's blunt assessment of the rotation. With six healthy starters, is it finally time to stop building around Cody Singer and lock into a traditional five-man plan? The guys break down the risk of a six-man rotation, how it could cost Nolan McClain and Freddy Peralta valuable starts, and why Carlos Mendoza has a season-defining decision to make before Opening Day. Evan also pushes his favorite compromise: a “tag team” piggyback strategy that could maximize depth while protecting arms. Then spring training drama hits. Cardinals broadcasters call out Juan Soto for not running out a pop-up, and Evan and Tiki go at it over whether hustle even matters in March. Is it lazy optics, smart injury prevention, or fake outrage from a meaningless game in Jupiter? Plus, a quick look at Clay Holmes' development, pitchers experimenting with new stuff, and why nothing you see right now should cause panic… yet.

It starts with the Mets, and Ron Darling absolutely bringing the hammer down on how the rotation should be handled. With six healthy starters, Evan and Tiki debate the five-man vs six-man dilemma, whether the Mets should stop “building around” Cody Singer, and how Mendoza can keep everyone on schedule without costing Nolan McClain or Freddy Peralta starts. Plus, Evan pitches his favorite spring solution: the “tag team/piggyback” approach to steal innings, protect arms, and keep the season plan flexible. Clay Holmes, new pitches, and spring training experimentation all get the microscope. Then it turns into a spring training etiquette war after Cardinals radio broadcasters go at Juan Soto for not running out a pop-up. Is it lazy, smart, or completely meaningless in March? Evan and Tiki argue the hypocrisy, the injury risk, and whether this stuff ever matters when the games count. Next, Chris Carino drops a take so wild it derails the segment: Devin Williams gives up a homer on his first pitch as a Met and suddenly gets hit with a “Ben Simmons” comparison. Evan recoils, Tiki debates it, and the conversation turns into a mix of Mets panic, Yankees baggage, and the reality of relievers trying new stuff in spring training.

Then it turns into a classic call-driven ride: Giants free agency and cap reality (it is not “infinite money”), the challenge of projecting college tackles to NFL guard, and how a roster can look “vastly different” just by letting free agents walk. Plus, the chaos keeps rolling with more on the Aaron Glenn combine clip (yes, we're still doing the eyes debate), an NFL news detour with David Montgomery landing with the Texans, and a quick Knicks temperature check on ceiling vs floor basketball. It wraps with Mets Opening Day drama: Freddy Peralta vs Nolan McClain, the “respect vs hype” argument, and a ridiculous Citi Field first pitch temperature prediction battle. Also, Shaun Morash catching strays, as usual.

C-Lo starts with the sounds of that Knicks win. We heard our own Jerry Recco on the call as Rutgers beat Maryland by 4 on the road. Matthew Schaefer scored again as the Islanders beat the Panthers. Boomer wanted Nolan McLean to start opening day for the Mets instead of Freddy Peralta.

We were hoping Nolan McClain. Also, is Jerry into the World Baseball Classic.

A caller reminds Boomer that his grandkids are destined to be lifelong Islanders fans. The Freddy Peralta versus Nolan McLean debate and World Baseball Classic. C-Lo has Ty Simpson on Glenn & Reich, Ron Darling's stories of bar mitzvahs, Phil Simms and exotic animals, and Jameis Winston at an IndyCar race. The Moment of the Day features a former New Yorker singing "Cool Names" followed by a final debate on the McLean vs. Paul Skenes we won't get.

Gio's out one more day, so Boomer and Jerry open with the Knicks' dominant defensive win over the Spurs at MSG before C-Lo checks in with the highlights. Also, Jerry's call of a big Rutgers road win over Maryland, Matthew Schaefer's scoring streak for Isles, Boomer reacts to the Mets choosing Freddy Peralta as the Opening Day starter. Finally, Jerry's trip to Maryland, where he tracked down Boomer's plaque and swapped stories with his former classmates.

Boomer and Jerry open the show with the Knicks' defensive win over the Spurs before C-Lo highlights a Rutgers road victory and an Islanders win where Matthew Schaefer earned Wayne Gretzky comparisons. The NFL Draft talk follows with a look at the Jets' quarterback needs. We also discuss the undefeated UConn women's season. After a call from a former homeless listener in Florida, the conversation shifts to Giants draft targets, an SNL clip featuring Jack Hughes, and Kevin Willard's memories of working under Rick Pitino. Plus, Boomer's divided Rangers-Islanders family, the Mets' decision to start Freddy Peralta on Opening Day over Nolan McLean, and Ron Darling's wild stories of attending bar mitzvahs. We even talk the World Baseball Classic.

As Pete Alonso flexes his power at Orioles spring training, Boomer & Gio wonder if any regret from the Mets will start to sink in. Plus, Evan & Tiki react to comments from Daryl Strawberry who says Alonso will be the one who regrets leaving New York (12:04); Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber on the Mets choosing Freddy Peralta over Nolan McLean to start Opening Day (30:42); a caller asks Evan about Joe Benigno's anger toward the Mets (54:43)

Full Show: The Giants could trade Kayvon Thibodeau, Aaron Glenn gets a little sleepy at the Combine, the Mets have their Opening Day starter, Tiki discusses space travel and aliens, and much more.

Sal Licata joins the crew today, and you'll never guess how Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo tried to pronounce Jarrett Stidham. We discovered that Sal was a ladies' man when he worked at Home Depot in the past. Then, the Mets made moves adding pitcher Freddy Peralta and outfielder Luis Robert Jr., and we get Sal's take on it. Stugotz thinks the Bills should hire Bill Belichick. And finally, we discuss the etiquette of buying Girl Scout cookies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
