The 2026 MLB All-Star Game is set to take place next month in Philadelphia, and while fan voting ballots have officially dropped, it's time to start thinking about who you might place on the American and National League squads. While there are some obvious names to make the team—looking at you, Shohei Ohtani and Yordan Alvarez—fans will have to make a few difficult decisions about who else will get their vote. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down both sides of the ballot and give their opinions on who they think should be voted in, including who might be the top vote-getter on the AL side with Aaron Judge set to miss the game.

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.

Finish Your Breakfast (5.28.2026): I see you Juan Soto, and even you can't make me hate Jalen Brunson (hahaha), even Pope Leo is a Knicks fan. Shohei did what Shohei does last night. Murakami did what Murakami does last night. Byron Buxton did what Byron Buxton does last night. Yordan Alvarez has hit four homers in two games. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was dominate against the Royals. The O's got a meaning sweep against the Rays, and the Nats won their series against the Guardians 2-1. The Rangers DFA'ed Andrew McCutchen. I hope he gets on with another team for the remainder of the season.
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a loaded Wednesday baseball card on Cash That Ticket, dated May 27, 2026, with the NBA on pause after the New York Knicks swept the Cleveland Cavaliers out of the Eastern Conference Finals and left no playoff action on the schedule. Six MLB games get the full treatment, game by game, pitcher by pitcher, with best bets locked in at the end of the episode. The guys open with a quick Tuesday recap, noting the Brewers three-star loss after Milwaukee scored five of six runs in the wrong inning and the Yankees rocking chair win where the offense exploded for 24 hits and somewhere around 13 or 14 runs, with Munaf cashing his run line and Dave's first five surviving on the back of that first inning. Oklahoma City beat San Antonio 127 to 114, covered the number, and went over the total, now sitting one win away from back to back NBA Finals appearances. First game up is Tampa Bay at Baltimore, where Stephen Matz gets a bit of long overdue respect from the crew and both men land on the Rays team total over given Trey Gibson's limited major league track record and the uncertainty around his pitch count in what is essentially a spot start. The Angels and Tigers follow, and Munaf delivers Jose Soriano's road splits, which are hard to dismiss at a 1.14 ERA this season on the road and a career 2.86 ERA across 32 road starts. Detroit is one and nine in their last ten and carrying a minus 29 run differential, and the lean is first five Angels with an alternate run line as a bonus. Chicago heads to Pittsburgh for a Jameson Taillon and Bubba Chandler matchup, and Dave makes the contrarian call for the Cubs at plus odds, pointing to Chandler's 99-pitch, five-inning outing last start and a season ERA sitting near five as reasons the Pirates may not be the slam dunk many bettors will assume. Bryce Elder and Connelly Early face off at Fenway in a game the guys expect to produce runs, with Elder's 1.97 road ERA and Early's 4.43 ERA at home pointing toward the Braves team total over as the primary play. Gerrit Cole makes his second start since coming back from Tommy John surgery against Noah Cameron in Kansas City, and Munaf makes a data-driven case for the Yankees team total over four and a half at minus 130 based on Cameron's history against New York, where the Royals lefty has surrendered eleven earned runs and five home runs in fewer than nine career innings against this lineup. Jacob deGrom and Mike Burrows square off in Arlington for a Rangers and Astros matchup that Dave calls as the game total over seven and a half, with Burrows allowing eleven earned runs in his last two starts and deGrom pricing oddly low for a home favorite. The nightcap belongs to Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the Dodgers against Tomoyuki Sugano and Colorado, with Ohtani confirmed to pitch after exiting Tuesday's blowout win as a precaution following a hit by pitch on his right hand.

Fantasy Baseball Live! – May 24, 2026Segments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.With the struggles of Steven Kwan this season, Travis Bazzana has been moved to the leadoff spot.a.What is your assessment of him so far this season?b.When do we pull the trigger on Steven Kwan and throw him on the waiver wire – he's hitting .199 with 1 home run and 2 SB. Granted, he also has a .224 BABIP, so I would expect a correction. But the xERA is still only .223. Yikes!2.Kevin Alcantara is getting another shot. He can't hit, but there is speed and power. Your thoughts.a.BTW, quietly Spencer Jones was demoted last week. The fanfare of a demotion is never the same as that of a promotion.3.So it's not Franklin Arias at shortstop, the Red Sox are turning to Marcelo Mayer and his .216 batting average and .286 OBP. a.I really missed on this one. The bat speed is clearly there – ranking in the top quartile of the leagues, but his 87 mph EV and 9% of loft is making him an easy out. Makes great contact, it's just weak.i.Your thoughts?4.Gerrit Cole returned and the velo was spot on. The swing miss of his secondary stuff was not quite there but overall he looked good.a.Your thoughts?5.Cristopher Sanchez has pitched 37.2 of scoreless innings. How is that possible? He's also pitching extremely deep into games. Just dominant.6.Jonah Tong quietly got the call but it appears he will pitch out of the bullpen.a.Any interest?7.Taj Bradley is back, touching 100 mph and shoving it. On Saturday, he pitched 5 innings of one run ball, striking out 7.8.Zack Wheeler has been dominant since returning from TOS. I thought pitchers didn't come back very well from that?

Today's word of the day is ‘squiggly' as in squiggly line as in the Thunder as in the Spurs as in SGA as in Wemby. The series is all tied up. Jalen Williams is hurt. Dylan Harper is hurt. There were fouls called and fouls not called. (7:10) The Yankees and Blue Jays had their aces go last night. The aces are young. The aces are not getting back hundreds of millions. But they are aces. So why do teams keep giving out these monster deals? (15:11) Shohei Ohtani is the best. I just can't. A leadoff HR and a scoreless outing pitching. It's just crazy. (20:10) The tarps off movement is sweeping the nation. Shirtless fans at MLB games are losing their minds in the stands. And teams have fully embraced it! (27:00) The Angels of where? Lawmakers in California want the Angels to lose the Los Angeles part of the team name. What? (33:10) Review: Marty, Life is Short. (39:00) NPPOD. Let's take a second to talk about Gerrit Cole and his return for the Yankees. (45:25) Aaron Rodgers says this season is his last year. It's over. One last ride. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the “tarps off” fan-shirtlessness trend sweeping MLB ballparks, early grand slams, inside-the-park home runs, and “little league home runs,” more sources of baseball embarrassment, Blake Snell’s bone spurs (and the Dodgers’ perennial pitcher-injury issues), Gerrit Cole’s return to the Yankees, Gio Urshela and other players who excelled for one team but struggled for others, updates on early-season sensation Joey Wiemer, John Brebbia, and this season’s class of rookie hitters, and the league’s trend toward catcher challenges.
