Who fills the Braves' DH slot with Jurickson Profar suspended all season? Is José Ramírez's shoulder injury a real concern? Can Nick Kurtz maintain his 50-homer pace from last year? Joe Bond, AJ Applegarth, and Corey Pieper answer one critical fantasy question for every MLB team heading into 2026 drafts. The guys debate FanDuel props on Tarik Skubal (224.5 K over/under) and Bryan Woo (179.5 K), dissect injury concerns (Francisco Lindor's and Corbin Carroll's hamate bone injury, Zach Neto's wrist), and reveal which rosters are fantasy wastelands (Cardinals pitching staff, White Sox/Rockies everything). Plus: sleeper picks across all 30 teams including Marcelo Mayer's 15/15 upside, Jordan Beck as a forgotten 20/20 option, and why Luis Arraez might be a top-15 second baseman. Biggest debates: Lindor's hamate bone: When are you comfortable drafting him? (AJ says Round 3. Joe Say Round 2) José Ramírez shoulder injury: Drops him below Skubal? (Joe says yes if drafting today) Nick Kurtz 50-homer projection: Corey says "basically Pete Alonso" with .235 avg risk Cardinals rotation: Is there a single draftable pitcher? (AJ asks "Is Adam Wainwright still playing?") Royals platooning Jac Caglianone: Real threat or just talk? Key injury updates: Profar suspended (full season) - Who benefits in Atlanta? Lindor's hamate bone - Power sap concern vs. quick return timeline José Ramírez shoulder - Should you drop him out of top 6? Seiya Suzuki PCL strain - Start the year on IL? FanDuel props breakdown: Skubal 224.5 K: Corey takes UNDER (injury risk), Joe's projections say OVER Bryan Woo 179.5 K: Joe takes OVER, AJ takes UNDER (injury history) Plus: Why the White Sox are trash league gold, Andrew Painter as a "generational talent" according to AJ, and Corey's "ride or die" Chase Burns shares across five leagues.

Episode 373 - Help Wanted: World Champs Looking for a Running Back RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot react to the growing likelihood that the Seahawks could lose star running back Kenneth Walker in free agency, debating whether John Schneider's reluctance to franchise tag him signals a different plan at running back. The conversation explores possible draft options, Seattle's roster strategy after a Super Bowl season, and the risks of relying on a rookie backfield solution. Jason Hamilton joins Mitch to discuss his decision to step away after 24 years as the radio analyst for Washington Huskies basketball, reflecting on his journey from UW player to assistant coach to broadcaster. Hamilton explains how the move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten dramatically changed the travel demands of the job, making it increasingly difficult to balance with his career and family life. Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle join Mitch to analyze the biggest storylines emerging from Mariners spring training, including the development of top prospects Colt Emerson, Cole Young, and Cade Anderson. The discussion covers roster realities heading toward Opening Day—why Emerson likely starts in the minors, how Brendan Donovan stabilizes the top of the lineup, and whether Brennan Davis could force his way into the outfield mix later in the season. RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers join Mitch to break down the Seattle Kraken's precarious playoff positioning with 20 games remaining, describing the Pacific Division race as a "turtle derby" where nearly every contender is struggling. The trio discuss the team's inconsistency, the addition of volume-shooting forward Bobby McMann, Jordan Eberle's contract extension, and the surprising resurgence of goaltender Philipp Grubauer.

The old saying in baseball is that “momentum is only as good as the next day's starter,” which shows how important having a good pitching staff is to a club. As part of our 2026 regular season preview, it's time to figure out who will do the best job of limiting their opponents' offense. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman draft all 30 MLB clubs based on who they feel will have the best pitching and hitting this season. While every squad wishes they had a Tarik Skubal, Shohei Ohtani or Paul Skenes to lead their pitching staff, will teams like the Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers still be able to find success on the bump? Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the second PED suspension handed to Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar, causing him to miss the entire 2026 season after he was suspended for eight games in 2025. They then get into the latest news surrounding the World Baseball Classic, including a surprising name joining Team Dominican Republic and Team USA finalizing its rotation for the tournament. 1:05 – The Opener: 2026 Run Prevention Draft 19:40 – Teams 1–10 recap 35:30 – Teams 11–20 recap 46:22 – Teams 21–30 recap 47:11 – We Need To Talk About: Profar suspended 56:50 – New Team DR roster addition 1:00:19 – Team USA's rotation Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
The Atlanta Braves once again find themselves in the kind of familiar territory that would rather avoid. On Tuesday, Major League Baseball announced a 162-game suspension of Jurickson Profar after his second violation of the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs. Grant McAuley discusses the fallout from Profar's latest ban, how the Braves will cover for the loss in production, what effects it will have on the lineup construction, the opportunity it presents for newcomer Mike Yastrzemski and others, as well as the possibility of adding another outfielder to cover for the loss. While the Braves lose Profar for the entire season, the $15 million he was owed is now on the table to potentially help the club in a variety of ways. Could that be better spent on a starting pitcher to fortify the injury-riddled rotation. All of that and more on this edition of the show.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, Munaf Manji and Dave Essler opened the Cash That Ticket Podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed by recapping a strong recent run of picks and turning quickly to a two-game NBA handicap, followed by two MLB win totals and best bets. They reviewed Tuesday results, noting the Spurs cashed an under despite scoring 131 in a 131 91 win over Philadelphia, helped by a low-scoring late stretch. They also highlighted Cleveland's 113 109 home win over Detroit and a missed play with Toronto against New York, as the Knicks won 111 95. From there, the focus shifted to Wednesday's featured matchup, Oklahoma City at New York on ESPN, with the Knicks taking 4.5 points at home and a total of 222.5. Manji cited workload details from Tuesday, including 37 minutes for Jalen Brunson, while noting Oklahoma City sat Shai Gilgeous Alexander and expected him to play at Madison Square Garden. Essler emphasized the back to back dynamics and market movement toward the Thunder, but leaned to the under, pointing to New York trends and the likelihood that fatigue shows more in the second half. Manji acknowledged Oklahoma City's struggles on the second leg of back to backs and took the points with New York, adding an interest in Karl Anthony Towns rebounding, with his rebounds at 12.5 and points plus rebounds at 29.5. The second NBA game was Charlotte at Boston, with the Celtics laying 6.5 and a total of 213.5. Manji noted Boston's clean injury report aside from Jayson Tatum, while Charlotte entered off a 27 point win over Dallas with limited heavy minutes, led by Miles Bridges at 31 and Kon Knueppel at 32. Essler praised Boston's recent blowout form, referenced concerns about rookies hitting a “rookie wall,” and said the low total made him prefer Boston and consider a Charlotte team total under. Manji countered with Charlotte's strong back to back record against the number and an under trend in those spots, while also pointing to improved defensive performance, but still aligned with Boston minus 6.5 and the game under, noting Boston did not play the next day and should deliver a full effort. After promoting a pregame.com coupon code, FASTBREAK20, they moved to MLB win totals. Kansas City's number was 81.5 after an 82 80 season, and both discussed the Royals' upside around Bobby Witt Jr. while weighing rotation questions and the importance of production from the bottom of the order. Essler said he liked Kansas City over the total, while Manji agreed the roster looked capable of clearing the number and noted division games would be pivotal. They then covered San Diego, with a win total of 83.5 after a 90 win season, and agreed the number looked low relative to recent results, especially given bullpen strength. Despite Essler's stated dislike of the Padres, he took the over, and Manji also backed over 83.5, citing their recent 90 plus win seasons and the potential to add pitching later. Before best bets, they noted Jurickson Profar had been suspended 162 games for a second positive test for banned substances. Essler's best bet was Arkansas to cover against Texas, citing pace, matchup edges, and coaching, while Manji supported the play and added his own best bet on Philadelphia's team total over 123.5 against Utah, also playing the full game over 237.5, expecting a higher scoring effort after the prior night's blowout loss.

The Jets reportedly franchise tag Breece Hall, and the guys break down why New York chose the franchise tag over the transition tag, what it means for a long-term extension, and why they're convinced Breece will play. Then the conversation shifts to the World Baseball Classic, where Paul Skenes' “close second to military service” quote sparks a heated debate about tone, timing, and representing your country. They compare Skenes to Tarik Skubal's one-start plan and why fans hate the “mercenary” vibe, plus a caller currently in the military weighs in. Later, it's rapid-fire breaking news: a PED suspension report involving Jurickson Profar, and a stunner from the NFL world as the Seahawks are not expected to tag Kenneth Walker, potentially impacting the Giants' plans. The hour also features a spirited Giants discussion (including the “LOL Giants” argument), a wild trip into the WFAN archives with old Lakers-Rockets Game 7 stringer updates, and a Mets first base debate that has Brett Baty emerging as the surprising innings leader. Plus: East Coast vs West Coast fan culture, Dodger Stadium horror stories, and plenty of classic Evan and Tiki chaos along the way.
