Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NBA betting for Monday and much more. Cash That Ticket returned on February 23 2026 with Munaf Manji and Dave Essler breaking down a tight NBA card and continuing their Major League Baseball win total series. Manji noted a strong February run despite a narrow loss on a Jalen Johnson points rebounds and assists prop that fell short at 43 and a half even after a 16 rebound and 11 assist effort, underscoring the fine margins that define the market. The featured NBA matchup saw the San Antonio Spurs visit the Detroit Pistons with Detroit laying one and a half and a total of 232 and a half. Essler pushed back on early market enthusiasm for both San Antonio and the over, pointing to both clubs ranking inside the top eight in defensive points allowed and suggesting an inflated number driven by recent overs. He backed the under, emphasizing that Detroit is not an uptempo or defenseless team and viewing the total as an overreaction. Manji agreed on the under while leaning slightly toward the home side in what he framed as a playoff style test for both contenders. In Sacramento at Memphis, with the Kings mired in a 16 game losing streak and both rosters depleted by injuries, Essler made a contrarian case for Sacramento plus the points, citing recent covers and limited faith in a short handed Grizzlies team. Manji preferred the over at 233 and a half given what he described as historically poor defense from both sides, while Essler added Keegan Murray over one and a half three pointers as a prop angle. The final NBA game featured Utah at Houston with the Rockets favored by 13 and a half. Essler highlighted Utah recent competitiveness in first halves and Houston struggles to generate consistent offense, recommending a first half under with flexibility to adjust in game depending on second half pace. Manji, acknowledging Houston issues closing games and a modest scoring profile since the start of 2026, indicated a likely second half Rockets position if Utah stayed within range early. Shifting to baseball, the hosts examined the St Louis Cardinals at 69 and a half wins after trading Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan and finishing 78 and 84 with a minus 65 run differential last season. Essler favored the under, citing a youth movement, a rotation led by Matthew Liberatore and Dustin May, and long divisional odds that reflect limited expectations. Manji echoed concerns about rotation depth and projected the Cardinals to take a step back despite a strong home record last year. The Los Angeles Angels, posted at 70 and a half wins after a 72 and 90 campaign and a minus 164 run differential, drew similar skepticism. Essler pointed to Mike Trout durability questions, an aging pitching staff, and steep divisional odds compared to rivals, concluding too many variables must break perfectly for an over. Manji agreed, referencing recent under tickets on the Angels and continued uncertainty in the rotation. For best bets, Essler selected the first half under 65 in Houston versus Kansas in college basketball, citing defensive intensity and slow tempo, while Manji returned to the NBA with Victor Wembanyama over 13 and a half rebounds and assists against Detroit, banking on increased minutes and steady rebounding production in a competitive setting.

Dave Munson didn't launch Saddleback Leather with a business plan. He was living in Mexico, burned out from ministry work, when he designed a leather bag he couldn't find anywhere — simple, rugged, built to last. A local craftsman made it. Strangers kept stopping him to ask where they could get one. He went back, had a small batch made, and started selling them one by one. That small run turned into Saddleback Leather Co., now known worldwide for overbuilt bags backed by a 100-year warranty and a philosophy that products should be strong enough to be fought over when you're gone. Dave went from selling on eBay to owning his own factory, collaborating with brands like Toyota and Major League Baseball, and building a loyal following of more than 250,000 customers who value durability over trends.

In this episode, we break down the biggest power moves shaping the sports landscape. First, we dive into NFL Free Agency, analyzing the teams that spent big, the quarterback dominoes that could shift the playoff picture, and which franchises positioned themselves as true contenders versus offseason winners.Then we examine ESPN's decision to move away from Sunday Night Baseball and spotlight the WNBA and National Women's Soccer League in prime time. Is this a bold business strategy, a cultural shift, or a signal about the future of Major League Baseball?We connect roster strategy, media economics, and the evolving power dynamics of sports all in one conversation.

We're all excited about the possibilities of the 2026 MLB season but the clouds of labor war are percolating even in spring training. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the complicated complications of six decades of Major League Baseball labor history and the bubbling situation for a salary cap.

Hutt and Chad break down why the baseball world is buzzing, and it's because Tony Vitello didn't give Giants media the canned, corporate answers about moving from Knoxville to the Bay Area. He talked about leaks, he talked about stress, and he talked about how he almost stayed put because of how the news broke. The 'Old Guard' calls it his first unforced error and questions his loyalty. I'm calling it the first win of the season. Why? Because Tony Vitello is doing something Major League Baseball hates: He's being a human being. Learn more about your ad choices.

75% of top-drafted pitchers never make it to the big leagues. If your son is a pitcher, this episode could change everything about how you approach his development. Subscribe for weekly baseball career insights. Former first-round pick Justin Orenduff had the GM of the Dodgers watching him pitch in Double-A. Then his shoulder gave out. That injury sent him on a decade-long quest to understand why some pitchers stay healthy and others break down. His answer is backed by data from 1,100 drafted pitchers and published with Duke University. ✅ Why 75% of top-drafted pitchers never reach the big leagues — and only 2–3% become everyday starters ✅ How college innings count against a pitcher's professional career before it even starts ✅ What the DVS score is and how it quantifies injury risk on a 0–24 scale ✅ The free training tool every youth pitcher already has access to that nobody talks about ✅ Why velocity and longevity don't have to be mutually exclusive Justin Orenduff was a first-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers who had his career derailed by a shoulder injury. After surgery, his surgeon told him something that changed his entire mindset: the way he threw the baseball caused the injury. That single phrase launched Justin into years of research, eventually partnering with Duke University to publish a formal study on pitching mechanics and injury risk. His study tracked the top three pitchers drafted and signed by every MLB organization since 2013 — over 1,100 pitchers total. The findings were staggering: nearly half arrived in professional baseball already carrying arm injuries from their amateur careers. College pitchers who needed surgery had accumulated only around 320 total innings, and that number includes their college workload. The professional runway before a major injury was shockingly short. From that research, Justin built DVS — the Delivery Value System — a biomechanics scoring model that rates a pitcher's delivery from 0 to 24 based on injury risk and mechanical efficiency. Pitchers like Justin Verlander, Clayton Kershaw, and Mariano Rivera all scored above 16. Justin himself scored a 7 before his surgery and climbed to 17–20 after learning how to move differently — throwing harder at 35 years old than at any point in his professional career. The conversation also dives into the USPBL, a four-team developmental league where Justin runs pitcher development. Unlike traditional independent baseball, the USPBL prioritizes skill development days, individualized plans, and a culture where committing to growth matters more than winning that night's game. So far, 52 players have signed with MLB organizations and 7 have reached the big leagues. Matt and Justin also tackle the uncomfortable reality behind youth pitching culture: training programs that chase velocity to validate their own business models, not the pitcher's long-term career. And they explore a simple thought experiment that every baseball family should consider: if you had to choose between a coach who promises 100 mph and a coach who promises health, which would you pick? Scroll down to the timestamps to hear why that's the wrong question. If this episode changed how you think about pitcher development, share it with a baseball family who needs to hear it.  RESOURCES → DVS Baseball: https://dvsbaseball.com → Justin on X/Twitter: @JustinOrenduff Matt Hannaford is a Major League Baseball agent with 25+ years of experience advising families on baseball career decisions.
