Scott White and Chris Towers break down Tuesday night's action!
Producer John recaps the Guardians splitting a day-night doubleheader with the Reds, highlighting a controversial hit-by-pitch call turned grand slam for Kyle Manzardo and a wasted elite outing from Gavin Williams in the nightcap loss, while Lima and Nick Pedone debate whether the team's inconsistency bodes well heading into next week's trade deadline, including chatter about a possible Steven Kwan trade. They also cover new details on 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan's car accident, including reporting that he was at fault and is still dealing with concussion symptoms like difficulty concentrating and making decisions. Lima uses the Shanahan news to revisit an old debate about drafting him among any coach or player in football, and John closes with a tease about Mario Hezonja's Cavs deal possibly falling through due to interest from Real Madrid.
Vladimir Guerrero exited with hamstring tightness, sparking major fantasy concern. Joe Bond breaks down the latest injury fallout and dives into key Trade Targets to make before the deadline. Plus, get today's FanDuel Bet of the Day: TOR @ WSH O9.5 (-104). In news and injuries, Vladimir Guerrero left early with hamstring tightness, Byron Buxton was pulled with hip soreness, and Casey Schmitt suffered a torn meniscus. Meanwhile, Curtis Mead landed on the IL, Adley Rutschman is set for evaluation, Jack Flaherty remains out beyond the minimum, Oneil Cruz and Corey Seager are starting rehab assignments, and J.T. Ginn completed a bullpen session.

Duds include Jeremy Pena, Hunter Goodman, Lane Thomas, Wyatt Langford, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Michael McGreevy, Michael King, Landen Roupp, and Paul Sewald. For this week's Trade Targets segment, we look at Kevin Gausman as a candidate who could be moved out of the AL East to a contender for extra win potential. Freddy Peralta also appears likely to move and benefit outside of New York, while Brandon Pfaadt remains a sell high despite his hot streak. Finally, target non-contending closers who could be dealt into volatile bullpen roles. First Cup Fantasy Baseball drops every weekday around 9 AM ET on The F6P Hour.

Matt Dery joins Ken and Anthony to push back on the running bit that Angel Martinez and Jose Ramirez returning count as the Guardians' trade deadline moves, arguing the team genuinely needs another bat given Kyle Manzardo and Rhys Hoskins' inconsistency at first base and Gabriel Arias' shaky production. He credits the club for staying at 54-50 despite losing three of its best hitters for stretches, but calls Wednesday's 0-for-17 with runners in scoring position performance a symbol of a season full of near-misses, including the sloppy loss that wasted Gavin Williams' gem. Dery also notes Steven Kwan looks like himself again at the plate over the last few weeks and floats sending Manzardo down to Columbus to reset.
Ken and Anthony run through "About Last Night," with producer John starting with Gavin Williams' dominant seven-inning, 11-strikeout outing that included an immaculate inning, even though the Guardians still lost 3-1 in 12 innings to Minnesota. They debate whether an immaculate inning deserves more fanfare and swap little league pitching stories before shifting to Myles Garrett listing his Wadsworth home for $2.1 million, furniture, home gym, and Jurassic Park-themed media room decor included. The conversation turns into a broader riff on athletes decorating their homes with shrines to themselves, with Ken noting his own house keeps personal photos modest compared to guys like Garrett.
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze a frustrating Guardians loss and debate whether manager Steven Vogt or the lineup deserves the blame. They react to Brian Windhorst's insights on LeBron James' future and evaluate a hypothetical blockbuster trade involving Jarrett Allen and Anthony Davis. The conversation also covers Gavin Williams' immaculate inning and Myles Garrett's recent home listing. 02:45 - Debating the Guardians Loss 06:30 - Bunting and Analytics Debate 10:47 - Brian Windhorst on LeBron 14:50 - Exhausted by LeBron Watch 22:11 - Anthony Davis Trade Scenario 27:00 - Jarrett Allen Versus AD 34:45 - Gavin Williams Immaculate Inning 38:24 - Myles Garrett Selling House
Former Indians pitcher Cody Allen joined "Afternoon Drive on The Fan" Monday talking all things Guardians and why it may seem Gavin Williams has been struggling more this year than last.
John 13 and 15. The world has many definitions of what makes a Christian. Fortunately for us, the Bible plainly records what Jesus said about how to spot a Christian. In this study, Evangelists Jacob Holman and Gavin Williams explain that it all comes down to what and who we love.
Pittsburgh Pirates at Cleveland Guardians Game 1 by Tony T. This matchup pairs Jared Jones, a right-hander, against Gavin Williams, a right-hander. Jared Jones enters with a 4.37 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 8 appearances and 8 starts, while Gavin Williams owns a 3.81 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 19 appearances and 19 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.
Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner returns with a new episode of the What I Bet Podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, diving into a loaded Friday, July 17th Major League Baseball card while riding a strong recent stretch of 5 and 2 in his last 7 picks, 7 and 3 in his last 10, and 10 and 5 in his last 15. The episode opens with an early matinee between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox, featuring Griffin Jax against rookie left hander Jake Bennett, before moving into the marquee matchup of the night as the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the New York Yankees with Roki Sasaki opposing Gerrit Cole, a game complicated by the possible absence of Shohei Ohtani and the continued absence of Aaron Judge. Warner works methodically through the rest of the card, breaking down Jared Jones against Gavin Williams as the Pittsburgh Pirates travel to face the Cleveland Guardians, a matchup that becomes central to the episode. He also covers Anthony Kay and the first place Chicago White Sox against Spencer Miles and the Toronto Blue Jays, Cal Quantrill and the Texas Rangers against a red hot Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves, and Sandy Alcantara leading the Miami Marlins against Logan Henderson and the Milwaukee Brewers. From there, Warner turns to Bailey Ober and the Minnesota Twins against Colin Rea and the Chicago Cubs, citing possible wind conditions at Wrigley Field, along with Dean Kremer and the Baltimore Orioles against Peter Lambert and a Houston Astros bullpen bolstered by the return of closer Josh Hader. He continues through Michael King and the San Diego Padres against Seth Lugo and the Kansas City Royals, Brady Singer and the Cincinnati Reds against Gabriel Hughes and the Colorado Rockies, Troy Melton and the Detroit Tigers against Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels, Cade Cavalli and the Washington Nationals against Gage Jump and an Athletics club currently playing in Sacramento, and closes the card breakdown with Landen Roupp and the San Francisco Giants against a surging Bryce Miller and the Seattle Mariners. Along the way, Warner shares a major promotional code, base25, offering 25 percent off any purchase at Pregame.com including his own season long MLB All Access package, dropping the price from 349 dollars to 262 dollars before the offer expires on July 27th, while noting he is up 21 and a half units of MLB profit on the season. The episode closes with Warner's official best bet, backing the Cleveland Guardians and Gavin Williams at minus 129 after building his case around Cleveland's pitching depth and bullpen advantage over Pittsburgh throughout the show. Listeners can find new episodes of the What I Bet Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify through the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on the Pregame.com Podcast Network, with daily updates from Warner available at Real_G_Warner.

Ken and Anthony bring in producer John to recap the Guardians avoiding a sweep behind Gavin Williams' strong start and a power surge, previewing the tough upcoming Marlins series as a real test before the break. They then dig into the Bryce Harper controversy, where a personalized FanDuel cameo video surfaced in a lawsuit from a bettor who wagered 18.5 million dollars and lost 1.5 million, prompting the hosts to joke about recording a similar cameo for Brendan Sorsby. The conversation drifts into gambling more broadly, with John admitting he once bet on a Notre Dame game while driving to call a different game, drawing comparisons to the San Antonio broadcaster who lost his job over a gambling scandal. The segment closes with the hosts ribbing John about eating Chipotle while driving before teasing more Jared Verse trade talk coming up.

The New York Mets suffered a crushing corner infield blow as breakout third baseman Mark Vientos was placed on the injured list with a confirmed hand fracture. Corey Pieper breaks down a seismic wave of injury updates, massive impact rookie activations, high-strikeout pitching performances, and the latest FanDuel Bet of the Day. The injury bug continues to drastically alter fantasy rosters as Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez lands on the injured list with a groin strain, Zack Gelof is managing a new knee injury, and top outfield prospect Owen Caissie is expected to miss two to four weeks with a mild right calf strain. In response to these vacancies, Ryan Waldschmidt has been recalled to the big leagues while Pavin Smith was designated for assignment. On the positive side, massive offensive reinforcements have officially arrived as the Texas Rangers activated rookie sensation Wyatt Langford, and international superstar Munetaka Murakami has been activated to make his highly anticipated impact. Roster managers are also tracking solid rehab progression as Patrick Sandoval threw 4.1 innings of one-run ball and Logan Henderson logged 5.1 frames. An electric daily slate of performances featured elite strikeout upside on the mound. Gavin Williams put together an absolute masterclass with 11 strikeouts over seven brilliant innings, matched by Jesus Luzardo racking up 11 punchouts across seven frames of two-hit ball. Nathan Eovaldi fanned ten batters over six frames, Framber Valdez fired seven innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts, and Sean Manaea, Trevor Rogers, and Brady Singer turned in high-quality extended outings. Offensively, Tyler Tolbert's teammate Jake Mangum went 4-for-5 out of the leadoff spot, Ben Rice launched two home runs with five RBIs, and Esmerlyn Valdez and Bryan Reynolds hit back-to-back home runs, alongside long balls from Seiya Suzuki, Dominic Canzone, Brice Turang, and Jordan Walker, while Josh Naylor flashed surprising speed with two stolen bases. Conversely, Austin Riley bottomed out with a four-strikeout collar, Elly De La Cruz punched out three times in a hitless night, and starting pitchers Michael Wacha, Drew Rasmussen, Bryce Miller, and Andre Pallante were thoroughly blasted. Our weekly Waiver Wire segment provides critical target analysis for your weekend transaction runs, specifically detailing the long-term value upside of AJ Ewing and Cole Carrigg.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Real_G Warner closes out the World Cup Round of 32 with a full betting breakdown before diving into a stacked Major League Baseball card ahead of the July 4th holiday weekend. The episode opens on the soccer pitch with Australia and Egypt in Dallas, where Real_G leans toward a low scoring affair and a cleanly priced Egypt moneyline, before shifting to Cape Verde and Argentina, a matchup he expects to stay under the total even as Cape Verde's improbable tournament run continues. The soccer preview wraps with Ghana and Colombia, where Real_G questions whether Colombia's attack can find its rhythm against a Ghana defense that already shut down England, while flagging rising moneyline value on a potential Ghana advance. From there the show moves into baseball, working through the entire MLB slate one matchup at a time, including St. Louis and Andre Pallante visiting the Cubs and David Peterson, Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller against Washington's Foster Griffin, Minnesota's Mike Paredes facing Gerrit Cole and the Yankees, Chicago's Anthony Kay against Cleveland's Gavin Williams, Baltimore's Trevor Rogers on the road against a struggling Reds club, the Mets and Christian Scott visiting Atlanta, San Francisco's Logan Webb against Colorado's Ryan Feltner, Tampa Bay's Nick Martinez against Houston's Spencer Arrighetti, Boston's Jake Bennett against the Angels and Reid Detmers, Miami's Tyler Phillips against Jack Perkins and the Athletics, Milwaukee's Kyle Harrison against Arizona's Jose Cabrera, and Toronto's Dylan Cease on the road against Seattle's Luis Castillo. The centerpiece of the baseball portion is San Diego and Michael King on the road against Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers, where Real_G explains why the run line offers far better value than an inflated moneyline number on King. The episode closes with the official What I Bet best bet, sending listeners into the holiday weekend with the Padres and Michael King on the run line at plus one and a half, along with a look back at recent results that has the show sitting at five wins and three losses over its last eight picks. Before the pick is revealed, Real_G shares a July 4th promo code for Pregame.com, offering holiday weekend access from Wednesday through Monday across every pick in every sport for seventy seven dollars using code HOTDOG12, giving listeners full coverage heading into one of the busiest sports weekends of the summer.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima bring in producer John to break down the Cleveland Guardians' recent struggles following a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, focusing on pitching concerns with Gavin Williams. They also debate the merits of the new MLB Home Run Derby format compared to the classic head-to-head style. Finally, a personal story emerges regarding a platonic vacation that sparked questions from family and listeners.
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze the Guardians' performance and Gavin Williams' start before discussing a producer's unusual vacation plans. The conversation shifts to a deep dive into college quarterback Brendan Sorsby and the gambling allegations surrounding him. They react to comments from Sorsby's agent, Ron Slavin, debating whether the player's past mistakes will affect his NFL stock. 01:50 - Guardians and Gavin Williams 05:40 - John's Florida Hinge Date 16:10 - Dating and Generational Trust 19:26 - Sorsby Gambling Controversy 26:45 - Sorsby's NFL Draft Outlook 33:20 - Ron Slavin's Defense Strategy 40:12 - Character and Redemptive Trust
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima spiral into an extended back-and-forth about Cleveland sports nicknames, debating whether anyone actually calls Chase DeLauder "CDL," why Tito always seemed to make player nicknames longer instead of shorter, and Carman's refusal to ever use "Spida" for Donovan Mitchell. A caller pokes fun at both hosts for their own nickname habits, leading to a detour into old Browns and Indians nickname history before the guys set up their upcoming interview with Cavaliers executive Chris Kaiser. The whole segment is the kind of loose, bickering tangent that somehow still ties back to bigger questions about Jose Ramirez, Gavin Williams, and the Browns quarterback situation looming over the show.
Another study in our question-and-answer series, answering questions submitted by members at Fairview Park. In this study, Evangelists Jacob Holman and Gavin Williams answer "How do we handle imprecatory psalms in the New Covenant?" and "How do we decide what to give?"
Munaf Manji talks betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji hosts a solo edition of Cash That Ticket on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, working through a loaded sports night that includes Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals and a six-game MLB Wednesday slate packed with elite starting pitching matchups. Co-host Dave Essler sent in detailed pregame notes that Munaf reads and builds upon throughout the episode, producing a collaborative breakdown even without Dave in the booth. The show opens with a recap of Tuesday, where the under in the first five innings of the Brewers and Giants game cashed behind Kyle Harrison's career-high 12-strikeout performance for Milwaukee, though the Cubs team total over did not survive Chicago's one-run first inning and subsequent silence. The show stands three and one on best bets for the month of June. On the NBA Finals, Munaf discusses tonight's Game 1 in San Antonio with the Spurs as four-and-a-half point home favorites over the Knicks at a total of 218.5. Rather than chasing the historical Game 1 under trend, he prefers the second half over around 105.5, reasoning that first-game rust and jitters will suppress scoring early before both teams open up. The Knicks arrive with eight days of rest following their sweep of Cleveland while the Spurs are three days removed from a Game 7 win over Oklahoma City that was aided by the injury absences of Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell. Munaf singles out OG Anunoby as his Game 1 player prop, taking him over 15.5 points at minus 115 on DraftKings, and identifies Dylan Harper as the Spurs' most critical secondary contributor beyond Victor Wembanyama. Stephon Castle's ability to contain Jalen Brunson and Landry Shamet's timely three-point shooting off the Knicks bench are highlighted as key series variables to watch. On the MLB side, the episode covers six matchups in detail. In Philadelphia, Christopher Sanchez continues his Cy Young-caliber run against Walker Buehler and the Padres, with both Munaf and Dave aligning on the first five innings under and the Phillies run line. At Fenway, Chris Bassett's brutal road splits, including an 8.02 ERA in five away starts, make the Red Sox team total over in the first five innings an attractive play at minus 110 on DraftKings. In New York, Gerrit Cole's third start back from Tommy John surgery against Gavin Williams and the Guardians produces Munaf's official best bet of the night, the Yankees first five innings run line at minus half a run, plus 115 on Bet Online, backed by Cole's 13-3 career record against Cleveland and his flawless return. In Cincinnati, Chase Burns at 7-1 with a 1.96 ERA takes on Stephen Kolek and the Royals, with Munaf structuring a synthetic minus-one play by splitting units across the moneyline and run line. In Atlanta, the Braves run line against Patrick Corbin and the Blue Jays is the clear lean given Atlanta's consistent dominance against left-handed pitching and their habit of winning at home by multiple runs. The episode closes with the Pirates and Astros game featuring Paul Skenes against Spencer Arrighetti, which both Munaf and Dave agree is the best pitching matchup on the slate and produces Uncle Dave's official best bet, the first five innings under four.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Esler open Monday's Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a well-earned Masters hangover, recapping Rory McIlroy's historic back-to-back green jacket win at Augusta National where the Northern Irishman became just the fourth player ever to win consecutive Masters titles joining Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods, holding on through a dramatic final round where Cameron Young briefly seized the lead and Justin Rose surged into contention before McIlroy finished at 12 under par, one shot ahead of Scottie Scheffler, with a four-way tie for third including Young, Rose, Tyrrell Hatton, and Russell Henley. Dave went roughly break even on his Masters exposure and both hosts note the NHL and NBA regular seasons are done with playoffs now underway. The focus quickly shifts to a loaded Monday MLB card where Dave and Munaf work through four games starting with Miami Marlins at Atlanta Braves where Eury Pérez's walk rate and home run vulnerability make the Braves first five innings team total over one and a half at minus-155 Dave's preferred play against a lineup that just erupted for 13 runs on Sunday, then Cleveland Guardians at St. Louis Cardinals where Gavin Williams and his electric 2.04 ERA make the Guardians first five innings money line at minus-115 at South Point the cleanest low-juice bet on the board despite the overnight travel factor, with the Gavin Williams outs issued prop sitting at 17 and a half on DraftKings as a secondary angle, then Texas Rangers at the Athletics in West Sacramento where Brent Rooker is on the injured list with an oblique strain and Luis Severino is making his first home start of the season having issued five walks in each of his last two road outings, with Munaf going Rangers money line at minus-126 on DraftKings behind Nathan Eovaldi off a strong bounce-back start and a career ERA of 2.76 against this Oakland organization, and finally New York Mets at the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 10:10 Eastern night cap where the Mets arrive in a brutal cross-country travel spot after being swept at home by the Athletics and David Peterson brings a 6.14 ERA against a Dodgers lineup ranked first in slugging and second in batting average against left-handed pitching this season. Official best bets are Dave Esler with the Braves first five team total over one and a half and the Guardians first five money line, Munaf Manji with the Texas Rangers money line.
