Thursday on The A-Team, Adam Clanton and Adam Wexler break down Lance McCullers Jr.'s comments after being traded, Tari Eason's response to critics on social media, Yordan Alvarez's Triple Crown chances, and much more!

Chandler Rome of The Athletic joined The A-Team with Adam Clanton and Adam Wexler to discuss the critical factors that could shape the Astros' chances after the All-Star break. Rome also weighed in on Lance McCullers Jr. being traded, Yordan Alvarez's MVP chances, and how he expects the trade deadline to ultimately play out.

Seth and Sean, along with our new colleague Cole Thompson, kick off the show by talking about the rather cringeworthy ESPYs last night and give the details and their thoughts on the trade sending Lance McCullers Jr. to the Brewers.

Spencer Michaelis of Brewer Fanatic and Backfield Brew joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the Brewers' 2026 draft, from top pick Brady Ebel and second-round pick Sawyer Strosnider to the sleepers Spencer really likes, including a dominant high-school pitcher from California. After JR looks back at the all-star game (a boring 4-0 win by the American League), the two also discuss the news Wednesday that the Brewers had traded for Astros pitchers Lance McCullers Jr. and Colton Gordon. Both pitchers have some question marks; what should we make of the transaction? Plus: What are the minor-league story lines to watch in the second half of 2026?

ITL debates whether the Texans are truly building their own identity under Nick Caley or simply borrowing too much from the Patriots' blueprint. The guys discuss how New England's offensive philosophy fits Houston's personnel and whether the Texans are adapting proven concepts or trying to recreate a system that worked elsewhere. The conversation then shifts to the Astros as more details emerge from the Lance McCullers Jr. trade, including the prospect Houston received from Milwaukee, leading to a debate over whether Houston got enough in return. Listeners also weigh in on the QOTD: What's just dumb? Around The NFL covers the biggest stories from across the league before ITL reacts to Rockets forward Tari Eason's viral tweet that sparked plenty of backlash from fans.

Plus, Figgy's Mixtape features professional chefs revealing foods you should never grill, a former news anchor who lost her life savings to a scam, and more wild stories from around the internet.

ITL starts the show by asking whether the Texans are truly learning from the Patriots or simply copying them.

Then the focus shifts back to the Astros after more details emerge from the Lance McCullers Jr. trade, including the prospect Houston acquired from the Brewers. ITL reacts to the return package, discusses whether the Astros got enough value, and what the deal says about the organization's direction moving forward.

ITL covers another packed day across Houston sports, starting with “Happy Rookies Will Be On The Field Day” as the Houston Texans rookie class officially hits the practice field and the guys sort the newcomers into categories ranging from instant-impact players to long-term projects and hidden breakout candidates. The show also dives into a heated debate surrounding the Houston Astros and whether leaving Lance McCullers Jr. in during a brutal outing was irresponsible or simply a sign of how desperate Houston's pitching situation has become. Around The NFL features more Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini buzz, fresh Aaron Rodgers rumors, and reactions to the latest headlines from around the league. ITL also debates a proposed Kawhi Leonard trade to the Houston Rockets and whether the upside is worth the risk.

ITL celebrates “Happy Rookies Will Be On The Field Day” as the Houston Texans rookie class officially hits the field, and the guys sort the newcomers into categories—who looks like an instant contributor, a long-term project, a sneaky breakout candidate, or someone fans may be sleeping on entirely. Then the conversation shifts to the Houston Astros after Lance McCullers Jr. was left in during a rough outing. ITL debates whether it was irresponsible to leave him out there or simply a reflection of how desperate and thin things currently are for Houston's pitching situation. The hour wraps with today's QOTD: What are the most irritating and painful little injuries?

Stoerner-Stock Up : Bryan Abreu/Stock Down : Tatsuya Imai Hughley-Stock Up: Spencer Arrighetti /Stock Down: Lance McCullers Jr. (Last 6 starts 24 ER in 23 IP ERA 7.41 for LMJ.. YIKES!!!)

It was indeed a ROUGH hump day in the world of 'Stros baseball y'all..

McCullers leaves the 'Stros hump day action vs the Dodgers with a.. Hurt FINGER NAIL..?! WHAT?!?! And, everyone's favorite cornball Quarterback, Russell Wilson-he says he's weighing offers from the NY Jets, & a network TV position.

Paul Skenes lands in the dud column on today's First Cup Fantasy Baseball, while Logan Webb, Cristopher Sanchez, and Bailey Ober all earn studs recognition. Host Joe Bond runs through his Two-Start Pitchers and Weekend Planner segment to help you set your roster heading into the weekend. On the Two-Start/Weekend Planner, Cade Cavalli and Tyler Glasnow both get the start nod, while Bubba Chandler and Nick Martinez are questionable. Jack Flaherty is a sit, and Aaron Nola and Chase Dollander are streaming options. In studs and duds, Kyle Schwarber, Adley Rutschman, MJ Melendez, and Spencer Steer join Webb, Sanchez, and Ober as studs. On the dud side, Samuel Basallo, Hunter Goodman, Vinnie Pasquantino, Lance McCullers Jr., and Kevin Gausman join Skenes. On the injury and news front, Brandon Woodruff was removed with diminished velo, Tyler Soderstrom missed a second straight day, and Jeffrey Springs was removed with a hip injury but is expected to make his next start. Nick Kurtz walked for a 19th straight game, now just three away from tying the all-time record held by Roy Cullenbine in 1947. Today's FanDuel Bet of the Day is Zack Wheeler over 7 strikeouts vs. Miami at +102. Wheeler threw 84 pitches last game with 6 Ks in 5 innings, and figures to push into the 6th against Miami with a higher pitch count.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Esler close out the week on Cash That Ticket, the sports betting podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, with three NBA playoff Game 3s and a full MLB Friday card on the board. The guys are coming off a 3-and-2 individual week and a 6-and-4 combined mark, and they are locked in to finish strong. On the NBA side, the show opens with a deep breakdown of Celtics and 76ers in Philadelphia, where Dave admits he loves the Sixers at plus seven and a half despite his loyalty to Boston, pointing to VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey as two players capable of shooting right over the Celtics defense at home. Munaf fires back with a compelling multi-year trend under head coach Joe Mazzulla showing Boston at 12-and-2 straight up and against the spread in playoff road games following a loss, including five straight covers and seven wins in the last eight such situations, every one by at least eight points. He also notes positive shooting regression is coming for Derrick White, Jayson Tatum, and Sam Hauser after a combined cold night in Game 2. Moving to Houston, the short-handed Lakers hold a stunning two-game series lead with Luke Kennard and Marcus Smart having combined for 48 points in Game 2, and both hosts land on the Lakers plus eight and a half while debating whether the over makes more sense given how suppressed the total has become. Munaf makes the case that Reed Sheppard's 11 minutes of playing time in Game 2 is the single biggest problem for Houston's offense, and he names Kevin Durant points over 23.5 as his prop bet of the night given Durant's 41 minutes of usage and his role as the Rockets' primary scoring option in a must-win home environment. In Portland, Victor Wembanyama's concussion status dominates the conversation as the Spurs arrive with their best player officially listed as questionable. Both hosts lean the over given the pace rankings of both teams and Portland's higher three-point accuracy at home, while Dave endorses the Blazers team total over and names Robert Williams III points, rebounds, and assists over 15 at minus 122 as his best bet of the day, citing Williams' 11-point, nine-rebound, four-assist performance off the bench in Game 2. Munaf backs Jrue Holiday PRA over 27.5 on FanDuel as his other best bet, building the case around Holiday's 30 PRA in Game 2 and his locked-in usage for Portland. On the MLB side, Dave highlights the Nationals and White Sox over as a prime bullpen game spot with favorable weather and two of the worst relief corps in baseball, while Munaf adds the Brewers at plus odds against Paul Skenes, the Yankees team total over against Lance McCullers Jr., and the Cleveland Guardians riding a nine-and-one straight-up after-a-loss trend against Max Scherzer and Toronto.
