Toronto Blue Jays starter Jameson Taillon exited Monday's outing with right forearm discomfort. Corey Pieper breaks down a major wave of pitching injuries, key roster updates, the daily Bullpen Report, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The injury and news wire moves fast as Jameson Taillon exits early with forearm discomfort, Devin Williams lands on the injured list with a shoulder strain, and Geraldo Perdomo deals with knee soreness. On the transaction side, former All-Star Tim Anderson announces his retirement, Zack Littell signs with the Diamondbacks for relief duties, and the Braves release Jorge Mateo, while fantasy rosters receive boosts with Zack Gelof and Mike Soroka activated, and Adley Rutschman expected back Tuesday. On the diamond, daily standouts in the studs column feature Dean Kremer, Austin Martin, Josh Bell, Kyle Schwarber, Andrew Painter, Jac Caglianone, Jackson Merrill, Logan Henderson, Jacob Lopez, Freddy Peralta, Cam Smith, and Nolan Arenado. Conversely, notable struggles in the duds category include Dylan Beavers going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, Kaelen Culpepper finishing 0-for-4 with four punchouts, Bryan Reynolds going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts despite a walk and a run scored, Bryce Elder, Brandon Marsh, Gabriel Hughes, and Noah Cameron matching up against Tarik Skubal. The daily Bullpen Report analyzes high-leverage late-inning situations around the league, breaking down Paul Sewald's DFA in Arizona, Hogan Harris taking over leverage for the Athletics, Kodai Senga stepping into ninth-inning save situations for the Mets with Devin Williams sidelined, late-inning chaos following Rico Garcia's blowup with Tyler Wells and Yennier Cano in Baltimore, Edwin Diaz locking down a save, Steven Cruz in Kansas City, Ben Joyce and Sammy Natera in Anaheim, and an unsettled closing picture in San Francisco.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 2-1 win vs. the Red Sox to open the series in Toronto! They take your calls and texts, and discuss the rare rule - Rule 5.09(c)(4), if you're curious - and umpire review in the 7th inning that awarded the Red Sox a late run - did the umpires give the Jays a chance to appeal the play fairly? Did the Red Sox really not know how many outs there were? Plus, they get into the work from Jameson Taillon and Simeon Woods Richardson to hold the Red Sox to one earned run, Charles McAdoo blasting a home run, the continued struggles of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and what Brett Bateman could be in the future.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open this morning's show with a recap of the Blue Jays' dramatic 2-1 win to open their series against the Red Sox. The boys try to make sense of the bizarre seventh-inning situation that resulted in Boston scoring a run despite three outs being recorded and the lead runner never tagging up at third base. Will we ever see a play like this again in MLB history? They also take time to discuss Jameson Taillon's injury that limited his strong start on the mound, Simeon Woods-Richardson's relief performance, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. coming up empty in big moments, and Andrés Giménez' continued clutch hitting. After the break, Sportsnet Raptors reporter Michael Grange joins to discuss the latest in the Kawhi Leonard saga, potential CBA consequences, and whether the controversy will matter once the season begins.

The Blue Jays open their series against the Red Sox with a bizarre 2-1 victory, continuing to chip away at the AL Wild Card race. On game 121 preview of Flight Deck, Dan Riccio breaks down Charles McAdoo's unexpected impact, Jameson Taillon's strong start before leaving with forearm discomfort, and Simeon Woods Richardson stepping up with three huge innings. We'll also try to make sense of the wild seventh-inning rules controversy that gave Boston its only run. With Toronto now just 3.5 games out and holding an 8.4% playoff chance, can the Jays keep cooling off the Red Sox? Plus, an update on Taillon and Trey Yesavage, Louis Varland's latest save, and whether Dylan Cease has done enough to become the AL Cy Young favourite. Toronto has taken seven of 10 from Boston this season. Can they keep it going?

Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. Munaf Manji runs the Monday, August 10 edition of Cash That Ticket on his own, with Dave Essler away handling personal matters and expected back Tuesday, when the show will also tackle the next NFL win total as preseason opens this week. Munaf opens with an honest look at a rough recent stretch for baseball wagering, both on the podcast and for his clients on Pregame.com, pointing to Sunday's setback as the latest example. He had backed the Brewers at minus one and a half with Jacob Misiorowski on the mound, only to watch Kody Clemens hit a two run home run that tied the game and forced extra innings. Milwaukee won outright but the run line ticket fell short. Friday's Best Bet podcast fared better, cashing on the Cleveland Guardians moneyline with Parker Messick starting. Munaf also touches on the Dodgers, who snapped a losing streak over the weekend only to fall again on Sunday against the Diamondbacks, where Eduardo Rodriguez worked seven strong innings against a Los Angeles offense he calls shockingly quiet given the roster's talent. From there, Munaf runs his weekly standings check, noting the Rays hold a five and a half game lead over the Yankees in the American League East while the Red Sox slide to seven games back after dropping their weekend series to the Athletics. The White Sox lead the Tigers by three and a half games in the AL Central, and the AL West sits as the league's tightest race, with the Astros up half a game on the Rangers and the Mariners four back in a division where every team carries a negative run differential. In the National League, the Braves hold an eight and a half game lead over the Phillies, the Brewers are up five and a half on the Cubs, and the Dodgers remain seven and a half games clear of the Diamondbacks despite their recent stumble. Munaf then works through five matchups on the Monday card. Sonny Gray and the Red Sox visit Jameson Taillon and the Blue Jays, with Gray's strong road and night splits pushing Munaf toward Boston on the moneyline despite a rocky recent history against this Toronto lineup. Christian Scott and Bryce Elder headline Mets at Braves, where a surging Mets offense and warm, carrying conditions in Atlanta have Munaf leaning to the over. Andrew Painter continues to scuffle for the Phillies against Hunter Dobbins and the Cardinals, and with a bullpen Munaf calls putrid over the last month, he leans to the over, whether through the first five innings or the full game. Logan Henderson gets the assignment for the Brewers against Casey Mize and the Padres, and between Henderson's dominant recent form and a Sunday Night Baseball fade trend that favors Milwaukee, Munaf names this his best bet of the show, the Brewers moneyline at minus 115. Blade Tidwell makes just his second career start for the Giants opposite Hayden Wesneski and the Astros, and rather than lay heavy juice on a shorthanded Houston lineup, Munaf leans to the over. He credits Yordan Alvarez with carrying the top of the Astros order while Jose Altuve works through a down year, with Jeremy Peña, Cam Smith, and Daulton Varsho all contributing. Before wrapping, Munaf previews tonight's marquee pitching matchup, Tarik Skubal for the Dodgers against Noah Cameron and the Royals, calling it the best chance yet for a struggling Los Angeles offense to turn things around given Skubal's strong recent history against Kansas City. Munaf closes with a reminder about the Pregame.com Bulk Dollars promotion, twenty dollars for one hundred Bulk Dollars that can be spent like cash across any best bet package and never expires, even though the promotion window itself closes at midnight tonight. He signs off hoping Dave Essler returns Tuesday and that the next episode arrives with a winning best bet already in hand, wishing listeners good luck with their bets and encouraging them to enjoy the games.

The Blue Jays fall just short of a sweep in Philadelphia after a wild 12-inning battle, but Toronto still takes two of three from the Phillies to finish the road trip 4-3. On game 120 preview of Flight Deck, Dan Riccio breaks down Shane Bieber's up-and-down outing, Jesus Luzardo's dominant performance, and wild extra innings finish. We'll also look at Andres Gimenez's huge series, Nathan Lukes' defensive heroics, and why Toronto's bullpen workload could become a major issue moving forward. With the Blue Jays sitting just 3.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot, can Toronto pull off a Red Sox-like run down the stretch? Plus, an update on Spencer Arrighetti, the latest roster moves, and what to expect as Jameson Taillon takes the mound against Boston. The playoff push continues — but time is running out.

Brent Gunning and Sam McKee open the show with a recap of the Blue Jays' extra-innings win over the Astros! They break down yet another series victory for the Jays, the club's Wild Card outlook, Jameson Taillon's debut, Ernie Clement's go-ahead homer, Chase Lee's first save opportunity, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s day off. They also discuss what the Jays need to show this weekend to keep their playoff hopes alive, before shifting to LIV Golf's reported new investor, why the league continues despite its struggles, and what changes could make it more viable.

We'll also discuss Jameson Taillon's Blue Jays debut, whether it's time to put Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the IL to get him healthy, Kevin Gausman's comments after joining the Cubs, and what to expect as Dylan Cease takes the mound looking to strengthen his AL Cy Young case.

With the Trade Deadline in the rearview mirror Justin and Patrick convene to assess the moves made by the Toronto Blue Jays.Out are Kevin Gausman, Daulton Varsho, Jeff Hoffman and top prospect Arjun Nimmala. In are Jose Soriano, Josh Smith, Jameson Taillon and a handful of prospects. Did the Jays do enough? Is there still a chance at competing down the stretch?
Guest: Toronto Star baseball columnist Gregor Chisholm The trade deadline has passed and the Blue Jays were very busy indeed. After picking up right-hander Jameson Taillon and trading beloved starting pitcher Kevin Gausman to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, the Jays made four more trades on Monday's deadline day. They dealt away embattled former closer Jeff Hoffman and one-time MLB Defensive Player of the Year Daulton Varsho, along with left-hander Adam Macko and former top prospect Arjun Nimmala and they picked up potential all-star starter Jose Soriano, utility player Josh Smith and a whole bunch of very similar-looking young players, both pitchers and position players, plus one kid who stands out from the rest, a 20-year-old left-hander who throws 99 miles per hour named Dasan Hill. Gregor Chisholm and I break down the Jays' deadline and explain what they were trying to accomplish and how we think they did. We also take a dip into the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!

Corey Pieper breaks down a frantic deadline news cycle, high-stakes injury updates, the weekly Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day.

On the injury front, Shane McClanahan hits the injured list with a back issue, Luke Raley lands on the shelf with a left forearm strain, Ryan O'Hearn will miss six to eight weeks with a left quad strain, and Will Smith requires three to four weeks to ramp up.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. Munaf Manji goes solo on this edition of Cash That Ticket, holding down the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on Monday, July 20, 2026, while his usual co-host handles a personal matter, and he wastes no time diving into a packed MLB second half slate just a day after Spain claimed the 2026 World Cup title, with college football, the NFL, and the EPL all now less than seven weeks away. Munaf opens with a quick look back at Sunday's doubleheader split between the Yankees and Dodgers before turning to the night's marquee matchups, starting with Joe Ryan and the Twins traveling into Cleveland to face Tanner Bibee and the Guardians, a matchup he frames as a likely low scoring affair and ultimately builds into his top play of the day, the first five innings staying under four total runs. From there he shifts to Yankee Stadium, where Braxton Ashcraft and the Pittsburgh Pirates take on Ryan Weathers and a Yankees offense that has struggled to generate runs without Aaron Judge in the lineup, leading Munaf to back the Pirates on the money line. He then breaks down a series opener in Philadelphia between Emmet Sheehan and the Dodgers against a red hot Christopher Sanchez, who Munaf argues belongs in the National League Cy Young conversation given his dominant numbers at home, structuring his play around the Phillies on the run line rather than the straight money line. The show spends real time on the Boston Red Sox, winners of thirteen straight games, as they host the streaking Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park in a matchup with direct implications for the tightening American League wild card race, with Shane Baz opposing Payton Tolle and Munaf ultimately favoring the Red Sox across the first five innings rather than laying the bigger number on the full game given recent bullpen concerns. Munaf also previews a high total matchup at Wrigley Field between Jack Flaherty and the Tigers against Jameson Taillon and the Cubs, where strong winds blowing out are expected to boost scoring, along with a brief mention of the Miami Marlins as a value side against Ronel Blanco and the Astros. Before wrapping the show, Munaf reminds listeners about pregame.com's promo code STAR25, good for twenty five percent off any purchase on the site, including a discounted second half MLB all access package that covers every pick through the World Series, and shares that he is running a strong profit margin in MLB betting since he began tracking results back in mid-May. The episode closes with a recap of the top play of the day, the Twins and Guardians staying under four runs through the first five innings behind Joe Ryan and Tanner Bibee, and a preview of tomorrow's show, when Munaf's usual co-host is expected to return and the two plan to pick back up their ongoing coverage of MLB alongside their season long series ranking NFL win totals as football season approaches.

The fantasy landscape is bracing for impact as dominant MVP frontrunner Aaron Judge remains entirely shut down from physical activity, stalling his recovery timeline indefinitely. Corey Pieper breaks down a high-stakes pitching landscape, devastating long-term prospect injuries, a seismic trade market update, and the latest FanDuel Bet of the Day. Roster managers face massive late-season fallout as Aaron Judge remains unable to resume baseball activities, Christian Walker exits early with acute hip tightness, and dynamic infielder Jeremy Pena suffers yet another frustrating physical setback. The pitching front is equally turbulent as the Chicago Cubs aggressively trade for right-hander Aaron Civale, the high-octane duo of Mick Abel and David Festa are both declared out for the season, Casey Mize exits his latest start early, and JoJo Romero lands on the injured list. Fortunately, reinforcement is on the horizon with Jameson Taillon's return imminent, Ranger Suarez tracking to be activated tomorrow, and Ronel Blanco scheduled to pitch Monday, though managers must monitor Will Smith's recurring neck issues, Samuel Basallo handling right shoulder discomfort, Shohei Ohtani being withheld from the mound, Corbin Carroll's daily status, and Blaze Alexander's long-term absence with a broken hand. An absolutely loaded performance slate features a masterclass on the bump and offensive explosions. Chris Sale fired seven dominant frames of zero-earned, two-hit ball with six strikeouts, Gerrit Cole struck out eight across six high-quality frames, and Jake Bennett, Pete Lambert, Brady Singer, Landen Roupp, Jared Jones, Brandon Pfaadt, Tarik Skubal, JT Ginn, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Paul Skenes, Shota Imanaga, Hunter Greene, and Logan Gilbert all logged stellar outings, while Troy Melton dueled Reid Detmers, Shane Bieber battled Davis Martin, Sean Burke matched up with Trey Yesavage, and Eury Perez went head-to-head with Robert Gasser. At the plate, Trea Turner and Fernando Tatis Jr. both went completely electric by blasting a home run and swiping a bag on Saturday, Jose Trevino launched two home runs, and huge performances rolled in from Junior Caminero, Sam Antonacci, Drake Baldwin, Ryan Jeffers, Elly De La Cruz, Spencer Steer, Andres Chaparro, Curtis Mead, Kody Clemens, Wilyer Abreu, Shane Drohan, Spencer Torkelson, Hunter Goodman, Jackson Merrill, Nolan McLean, Austin Riley, Francisco Lindor, Esmerlyn Valdez, Ty France, and Tyler Stephenson. Conversely, Christian Walker's night was cut short, Jonathan Aranda bottomed out with an 0-for-7 doubleheader collar, and Griffin Jax, Gage Jump, Rhett Lowder, Ian Seymour, Jake Bauers, Eduardo Rodriguez, Cam Schlittler, Noah Cameron, Zebby Matthews, and Munetaka Murakami all landed in the duds column. Our weekly Waiver Wire segment delivers deep-dive evaluation on priority targets available in more than 60% of leagues, isolating the long-term roster utility of Caleb Durbin, AJ Ewing, Ryan Jeffers, Bryce Eldridge, Garrett Mitchell, Shane Drohan, Roki Sasaki, and Kade Anderson.

Detroit Tigers at Chicago Cubs by Tony T. Jack Flaherty owns the stronger strikeout-minus-walk profile, while Jameson Taillon has generated the higher ground-ball rate. Jack Flaherty has allowed fewer home runs per nine innings, an important separator when traffic builds or the game reaches a power-heavy portion of either lineup.

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh discussed the top sports stories of the day in the Pick 6 segment.
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a stacked Tuesday edition of Cash That Ticket, opening the show with a clean Monday sweep before diving into what may have been the single most active day in NFL offseason history. The guys run the numbers first: May closed at 17-16-2 and down 1.77 units, a modest dip by the pod's own high standards, but the cumulative record now sits at 96-68-2 and plus 21.77 units since launch, with three-star plays running at an 8-2 clip, and Monday's sweep only added to the momentum heading into June. From there, the conversation shifts to the Myles Garrett trade, with Cleveland sending the two-time Defensive Player of the Year and all-time single-season sack record holder to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick. Munaf walks through a full market breakdown, noting the Rams moved to 6-to-1 favorites at DraftKings, with their NFC odds shifting from plus-390 to plus-310 and their NFC West line dropping from plus-140 to plus-105. Dave offers the more measured take, calling it a fair deal for both franchises while pointing to the AFC North adjustment as the more actionable angle for bettors, since the Rams were already favorites and the division rivals who no longer face Garrett every year are the ones who quietly got better. The second trade brings AJ Brown from Philadelphia to New England in exchange for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, reuniting Brown with head coach Mike Vrabel after a well-documented split from the Eagles, and giving Drake Maye a legitimate downfield threat in New England. Dave, a Patriots fan, acknowledges the upgrade while tempering Super Bowl expectations given a difficult 2026 schedule. The main event of the episode is the full NBA Finals series preview ahead of Wednesday's Game 1 tip in San Antonio, where the Spurs enter as minus-205 favorites but the Knicks arrive on an 11-game winning streak with eight days of rest and a road record in the playoffs that no team has matched, six wins all by double digits. Dave goes Knicks in Game 1 at plus four and a half, highlighting the rest edge and wondering aloud whether the Spurs left their best collective effort in the OKC series, while also crediting the Towns-Wembanyama matchup as a more complicated problem for San Antonio than the Holmgren dynamic in the conference finals. Munaf takes the Knicks to win the series outright at plus-170, citing the collective offense, the defensive versatility of players like Anunoby, Bridges, and Hart, and a road dominance that has been consistent and convincing. Both hosts flag OG Anunoby at 40-to-1 and Towns at 20-to-1 for Finals MVP as market signals that the Knicks are being underpriced. The back half of the show covers the full Tuesday MLB card, with looks at Tigers-Rays, Padres-Phillies, Orioles-Red Sox, Guardians-Yankees, Blue Jays-Braves, Giants-Brewers, and Rangers-Cardinals, plus quick angles on the Dodgers-Diamondbacks, Royals-Reds, and Rockies-Angels. Best bets to close: Dave plays the Cubs team total over three and a half with Jameson Taillon facing Athletics rookie Gage Jump in just his second career start, Munaf backs the Giants-Brewers under four in the first five innings with Trevor McDonald and Kyle Harrison both lined up to pitch efficiently after Monday's 16-run blowout, and Dave adds the Royals as a live plus-105 underdog against Andrew Abbott and the Reds as a sharp bonus look.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner is back on the What I Bet Podcast, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM Podcast Network at Pregame.com, covering every major betting angle for Tuesday, June 2nd, beginning with Game 1 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals and running through a full 14-game Major League Baseball slate. Before diving in, Griffin reminds listeners that promo code GRIFFIN50 at Pregame.com gets you $50 off his All Access package through the All-Star break, dropping the price from $249 to $199 and locking in every pick through mid-July. The deadline is July 8th. Starting with the NHL, Griffin lays out his case for the Vegas Golden Knights as a plus-money play in Raleigh. Carolina enters as heavy home favorites after losing just one game across three playoff rounds, but that loss came in Game 1 of the Eastern Final after an extended layoff, a detail Griffin finds relevant as Vegas arrives with its own rest-and-rust dynamic following a sweep of the Colorado Avalanche. Cale Makar's injury limited Colorado at key moments, which gives the Golden Knights some credit for how they navigated that series. Griffin likes Vegas on the money line at plus-132, the series price at plus-127, and is targeting the under six rather than under five and a half to avoid the empty-netter problem that has burned under bettors throughout these playoffs. The MLB breakdown covers every game on the board. Griffin passes on the Padres and Phillies despite a soft Nola start because the overall offensive environment makes it a coin flip. He moves past Detroit and Tampa Bay after finding Jack Flaherty unbackable at any number in his current form and the Rays too expensive for his framework. He finds a clear lean in Washington, where the Nationals are priced at a shockingly cheap minus-111 against Miami's bullpen game, and C.J. Abrams, James Wood, and the rest of a hot-hitting club make that number feel like a gift. Baltimore and Boston shape up as a borderline under at Fenway, and Griffin acknowledges the park's history of eating unders alive before moving on. Cam Schlittler and the Yankees are simply too dominant to fade at any price. Noah Cameron gets some love from Griffin but the Royals bullpen situation, highlighted by a rough week from closer Lucas Erceg, makes Kansas City impossible to trust even if the starter delivers. The Braves look cheap at minus-122 against Toronto, and Bryce Elder's 2026 track record in Atlanta earns Griffin's lean in that direction. Kyle Harrison's continued dominance in Milwaukee, now at 18 consecutive scoreless innings, makes the former top prospect one of the more fascinating stories on the June 2nd card, though Griffin passes on the game itself. Davis Martin and the White Sox visiting Minnesota provides little grip for Griffin, who moves quickly. In St. Louis, he finds one of the night's more interesting numbers at plus-100 on the Cardinals with Dustin May facing Nathan Eovaldi, noting the Rangers' home run problems and Jordan Walker's hot stretch as reasons to look at the Cardinals price. Gage Jump's early big-league exposure at Wrigley Field against Jameson Taillon in a wind-in environment is a situation Griffin monitors but does not commit to. Mike Burrows and Houston get a lean at minus-110 against Pittsburgh. Grayson Rodriguez and the Angels as minus-155 against the Rockies is a price Griffin finds heavy given Rodriguez's injury history, though Colorado plus-140 is a number he admits he will be tracking closely before first pitch. And Michael Soroka's plus-107 price against the Dodgers in Arizona becomes the final talking point, with Griffin identifying his buy price at around plus-100 and expressing genuine affinity for the Diamondbacks in that spot. The official What I Bet Best Bet to close the show is the Washington Nationals minus-112, a number Griffin calls simply too cheap against a Miami team running a bullpen game. The show is three and one over its last four Best Bets.
