Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open their Tuesday, July 7, 2026 show by revisiting Monday's card, where a first five innings call on Atlanta cashed even as the Braves bullpen later surrendered an eleven run ninth inning, while a three star Dodgers team total over covered a wild extra innings win over the Rockies. From there the two work through a full Tuesday baseball slate, starting with Milwaukee and St Louis opening a day night doubleheader behind Jacob Misiorowski, before turning to a headline matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles, where Matthew Boyd opposes Shane Baz. Both hosts lean toward Chicago after examining Boyd's strong run support and Baz's fly ball tendencies coming off a heavy pitch count start. The conversation moves to Sacramento's trip to Detroit, where J.T. Ginn faces Tarik Skubal, with the hosts split between concerns over Ginn's recent home run rate and Skubal's own workload questions after a 104 pitch outing. Atlanta's visit to Pittsburgh draws a long discussion of both bullpens, with Hurston Waldrep opposing Paul Skenes, and Munaf ultimately backing the Pirates on the money line despite a rough recent stretch for the Pittsburgh ace. Boston and the Chicago White Sox follow, with Payton Tolle against Noah Schultz, and both hosts landing on the home underdog White Sox given a hot recent stretch and command questions surrounding Tolle. A rapid tour of the rest of the card touches Arizona and San Diego, Cleveland and Minnesota, Seattle's trip to Miami, and a Houston and Washington matchup featuring Tatsuya Imai and Andrew Alvarez, along with starts from Zach Wheeler, Trevor McDonald and Michael Lorenzen. After a quick mention of a new Pregame.com discount code, the show pivots to football for the latest entry in its NFL win total series, a detailed breakdown of the Pittsburgh Steelers heading into 2026. The hosts walk through an offseason that brought a new head coach in Mike McCarthy, the return of Aaron Rodgers for a final season, and a retooled receiving corps built around DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr, Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth. Weighing an accomplished pass rush duo in TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith against an aging offensive line and a defense leaning on veterans, both hosts land on the over for Pittsburgh's eight and a half win total, pointing to a favorable schedule and a division full of first year coaching staffs. The episode closes with Tuesday's best bets, an over in the Arizona and San Diego game from Dave and a Marlins money line pick from Munaf built around a dominant home pitching performance, before the two tease Wednesday's show and its look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh opened their show by discussing the Cubs' sweep of the Mets that saw Matthew Boyd return and Ben Brown head to the IL. Later, they conducted the Pick 6 segment, where they debated the top sports stories of the day.

A blockbuster Thursday slate shook the fantasy baseball universe to its absolute core, delivering a slate-breaking power clinic from a top-tier young phenom alongside an elite pitching performance that flirted with absolute perfection. Corey Pieper returns to break down the massive fantasy fallout, highlighting league-winning offensive explosions, high-leverage pitching meltdowns, crucial injury timelines, and an enticing underdog look for the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The Tampa Bay Rays put on an absolute masterclass that dominated the fantasy landscape. Infield cornerstone Junior Caminero logged a historic, slate-shattering first career three-home run game, punishing Royals pitching to the tune of 6 RBIs in a 13-2 rout. Right behind him on the mound, Ian Seymour put together a breathtaking bulk-relief performance, carrying a collective no-hit bid into the late frames while spinning 6.2 hitless, scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. Elsewhere in the league, young frontline arms flashed jaw-dropping upside. Bryce Miller weaponized an uncatchable arsenal to fan 11 batters over 5.2 frames, Tatsuya Imai fanned 10 in a stellar 6-inning duel to outlast Troy Melton, and Connelly Early logged nine punchouts to match Cam Schlittler's electric 9-strikeout showcase. After an agonizing slump, Freddy Peralta finally provided a massive sigh of relief for his fantasy managers, bouncing back beautifully from his previous shellacking to fire 5.2 brilliant, scoreless innings. Meanwhile, the power surges continued at the dish, as Caleb Durbin launched another long ball, and Texas phenom Wyatt Langford kept his blistering hot streak alive by clearing the fences yet again. On the flip side, several high-investment foundational players completely tanked fantasy ratios on Thursday. Premium righty Seth Lugo was targeted early and often, completely unraveling to surrender seven earned runs in just five painful innings. Kevin Gausman similarly hit a devastating structural roadblock, shelled for six earned runs on 10 hard hits across six laborious frames. Relief depth took a massive hit too, as Gus Varland collapsed out of the bullpen, tagged for five earned runs while failing to finish his second frame. High-profile rookies also endured a harsh reality check, with both Jac Caglianone and Nick Kurtz going completely quiet, turning in empty 0-for-4 nights anchored by three empty strikeouts apiece. The active fantasy landscape is bracing for a monumental weekend wave of high-impact activations and structural shifts. Roster reinforcements are officially incoming as dynamic shortstop centerpiece Bobby Witt Jr. is anticipated to make his highly awaited return to lineups today, and Corey Seager is officially back in action. Arizona's active rotation gets an immediate jolt with Brandon Pfaadt taking the bump today, newly flanked by veteran Max Kepler, who officially linked up with the Diamondbacks yesterday. However, it's not all positive news; Toronto suffers a blow as infield stabilizer Spencer Horwitz heads to the injured list, Oakland's Zack Gelof lands on the IL with a hand fracture, and the Cubs lose depth with Ben Brown sidelined due to a neck issue. Meanwhile, fantasy managers are keeping a vigilant eye on young catcher Cooper Ingle and tracking Matthew Boyd's progress as he works back toward rotation durability after a 4.2-inning buildup outing. We close out the broadcast with our signature Friday Pitching Planner segment, analyzing the essential arms you need to stream, start, or sit to guarantee your team locks down those crucial weekend category matchups.

Mark Grote and Russ Dorsey listened to Cubs manager Craig Counsell's comments on left-hander Matthew Boyd's meniscus injury.

Munetaka Murakami is the biggest sell high of the fantasy baseball season so far, and Joe Bond and Corey Pieper both agree you should be moving him right now for legitimate top-tier talent before the league figures out how to pitch to him. On the waiver wire add side, AJ Applegarth and Joe run through Nolan Arenado, Cole Young, Moises Ballesteros, JR Ritchie, Chase Dollander, Foster Griffin, and Spencer Arrighetti. AJ was skeptical on Arenado while Joe and Corey are riding the hot bat, and Dollander gets the strongest endorsement of the group despite sitting at just 46% rostership. Jarren Duran is the rage drop of the week, with Joe keeping him for now but benching him in every league — Corey and Joe went deep on why he simply cannot be started right now despite the massive upside. Also on the drop list: Luis Castillo, Giancarlo Stanton, and Eugenio Suarez. Rankings risers this week include Mike Trout, Randy Arozarena, Josh Jung, Jose Soriano, Nolan McLean, Bryan Baker, and Louie Varland. Falling down the board: Jarren Duran, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Rafael Devers, Devin Williams, Aaron Nola, Salvador Perez, and Logan Gilbert. Corey leads the buy low and sell high segment. Buy low targets are Ketel Marte, Freddie Freeman, and Matthew Boyd — all three have strong underlying numbers that do not match their surface stats. The sell highs are JJ Wetherholt, Mickey Moniak, and Murakami, with Joe and Corey both making the case that Murakami hype is at its peak and you can flip him for serious value right now.
