Dodgers star Max Muncy joins The Mental Game to talk mental health with Brandon Saho. Max opens up about his baseball journey, Dodgers career, winning the World Series, battling depression, his special father-son relationship, mental performance training, retiring a Dodger, his love for LA, and how he best takes care of his mental health today.
A closer look at Max Muncy's 2026 season, during which he has been arguably the best third baseman in the National League, and in line for a potential third All-Star Game appearance. Muncy leads all NL third basemen in home runs (16), runs scored (46), on-base percentage (.371), slugging percentage (.532), OPS (.903), wRC+ (151), Outs Above Average (+5), and FanGraphs WAR (2.9). His 225 home runs with the Dodgers are just three shy of fifth-most in franchise history. Plus, Shohei Ohtani's Cy Young Award chances against Jacob Misiorowski, Cristopher Sánchez, and others, and a look at the Dodgers schedule facing four American League teams in a row.

Tim Cates gets you ready before the Dodgers start a 3-game series against the Angels. Kirsten's Corner. Dave Roberts gives an update on Max Muncy. DV catches up with Rick Monday and Alex Vesia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We are a little more than a month from the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, so we take a look at various Dodgers who might play for Dave Roberts and the National League team at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Shohei Ohtani is a lock for the All-Star team, whether he's voted as the starting designated hitter or not. He should make the team as both a DH and a pitcher for the first time since 2021 in Colorado. Andy Pages has been one of the best outfielders in baseball this year, and should be an All-Star for the first time. Max Muncy is off to a great start at the plate and has improved his defense, giving him an excellent start to make his third midsummer classic. Freddie Freeman is still humming along, but this brings a question of whether only first-half stats should count or should we also consider a player's numbers since last year's All-Star Game. Plus, we look at whether Yoshinobu Yamamoto will make his second midsummer classic and which Dodgers pitchers (Tanner Scott? Justin Wrobleski?) might join him.

Catching up on the first roughly third of the 2026 season for the Dodgers, who are atop the National League West as expected, despite injuries to Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Edwin Díaz, Mookie Betts and others. Shohei Ohtani is excelling at both the plate and on the mound in his first full two-way season since 2023. Andy Pages is having a breakout season both at the plate and playing exceptional center field. Max Muncy is having a resurgent season both at the plate and at third base. The Dodgers' depth has shined through, especially in the bullpen with Will Klein, Kyle Hurt, and Edgardo Henriquez taking on load-bearing roles for an effective pitching staff. We look at how the two-way-player rule allows the Dodgers to carry Ohtani as an extra pitcher, and how that lessens the burden for the rest of the staff, to everyone's benefit.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a rough first inning but then settled in nicely, and for once he got good run support as the Dodgers offense broke out against a weak Astros pitching staff. Add it all up, and Los Angeles beat the bad guys 8-3 and snapped their six-game homerless streak with dingers from Alex Freeland and Kyle Tucker. Freddie Freeman added two hits, Will Smith had three, and everyone except Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy had at least one hit (and Ohtani and Muncy each had multiple walks).

The Los Angeles Dodgers needed a win on Thursday afternoon to avoid being swept by the rival Giants. Tyler Glasnow took the ball and ran with it, allowing just one hit across eight scoreless innings, and the Dodgers offense got to Logan Webb enough to bring home a 3-0 victory. Kyle Tucker had two hits and a run scored, Max Muncy and Hyeseong Kim both had big hits in a two-run fourth-inning, and Dalton Rushing drove in the first run AND was in the middle of some new spiciness in the rivalry. Jeff Spiegel, Jeff Snider, and Clint Pasillas are here to talk about LA's happy flight home, Rushing's place in Dodgers/Giants lore, and plenty more!

Episode 164 of Tablesetters is really about figuring out what's actually real right now. We're only a couple weeks in, but you can already start to see which trends are sticking and which teams are just kind of drifting without an identity. We start with the New York Mets, and this has gone way past a rough stretch. When you zoom out, the profile tells you everything. This isn't just a team going through a cold streak, this is a lineup that isn't creating pressure, isn't doing damage, and isn't giving itself any margin for error. The approach has slipped, the power isn't there, and the at bats feel disconnected from inning to inning. That's why the losses keep stacking the same way. They hang around early, they don't extend anything, and eventually the structure breaks. Until the approach changes, the results aren't going to. That conversation carries into Philadelphia, where the issue isn't just one thing you can fix, it's everything showing up at once. The talent is there, but the execution hasn't been, and that's why the results look the way they do. The difference here is there's still belief internally that this can turn, and Zack Wheeler coming back is a big part of that. Not as a full solution, but as something that can stabilize one area and start to shift the overall rhythm of the team. From there, you get a completely different picture with the Dodgers. This is what it looks like when a lineup has depth and rhythm. Dalton Rushing and Max Muncy are driving a lot of that right now, but it's bigger than just two players. The lineup doesn't have a break. Guys are getting on, passing it along, and doing damage when they get their pitch. It's not forced, it's just consistent. And when that's paired with steady pitching, it gives them a level of control most teams just don't have early in the season. That same idea of control shows up individually with Nico Hoerner, and at this point, it's fair to start asking the question. This isn't just a hot start. It's a player impacting the game in every way. He's putting the ball in play constantly, producing in key spots, creating pressure on the bases, and playing elite defense. When you combine that with even a little bit of power showing up, the profile shifts. It stops being about being a solid all-around player and starts becoming something much bigger. Munetaka Murakami fits into that same conversation in a different way. He's not easing into anything. The power is real, the patience is real, and the impact shows up immediately. There's swing and miss in the profile, but it's balanced by control of the zone and the ability to do damage when pitchers make mistakes. And when that balance is working, it forces the entire game to adjust to him, not the other way around. Around the league, you're starting to see which teams are actually breaking through. Cincinnati is a good example of that shift. They've been winning without the offense fully showing up, and then you finally get a game where it clicks. That's where it changes. When the baseline is already strong and the offense starts to catch up, it raises the ceiling quickly. And then you have teams like San Diego, where the identity is already clear. They're winning with pitching, controlling games, and showing they can beat you in different ways. That's why the question about keeping pace with the Dodgers is real. Because right now, it's not just results, it's how they're getting them. The challenge is sustaining that over time, especially against a team with as much built-in margin as the Dodgers. That's really what this episode comes back to. It's not just who's winning or losing. It's who has structure, who has a plan, and who is actually showing something that can hold. And even this early, you can start to see that gap forming.

Jeff is in Disney World? Yep—and because of that, we bring you Team Tim Disney… and it’s perfection. Huge thank you to everyone who sent in their Team Tim Disney submissions—they were absolutely incredible. Well done! Plenty of takeaways this episode, including a big game from Max Muncy and the unlikely heroics that got him there. We also say goodbye to one of baseball’s greats, as Tim reflects on the impact Phil Garner had on him and on the game. Strikeouts are piling up this season, which means we’ve got ANOTHER Team Tim—did we get lucky or what? If you had a four-strikeout game this year, there’s a good chance you made the team. And a special thank you to Catholic University for giving Tim such an amazing day and for the love they’ve shown our family.

In the third hour of the show Dave and Jason are joined by The Athletic's Sam Amick for their weekly NBA talk. Next, they were joined by Athletics third basemen Max Muncy before his game against the Yankees, and told you What's Hot and What's Not.
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday Michigan is a national champion, Uncle Diamond Dave Esler cashed a 5-to-1 futures ticket, and there are still three MLB games, two NBA matchups, and a Masters first-round leader portfolio to get through before the week really starts. That is the agenda on this Tuesday, April 7th edition of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, hosted by Munaf Manji alongside Dave Esler. The show opens with a full championship recap of Michigan's 69-63 victory over UConn, breaking down how the Wolverines won despite shooting just 38 percent from the floor and going 2-of-15 from three-point range, leaning instead on a 25-of-28 free throw performance and a 36-22 edge in points in the paint. The guys walk through the sharp money signals on the spread, why the total was never going to go over once the pace was established, and why UConn fans have no real basis for their free throw complaints given how the Huskies are built offensively. On the MLB side, Munaf and Dave break down three Tuesday games starting with the Dodgers and Blue Jays in Toronto for Game 2, where Yoshinobu Yamamoto faces Kevin Gausman in what projects as a low-scoring first-five-innings battle worth playing both from the under and the Toronto run line. Dave makes the case for Gausman's historically dominant start to 2026 as genuine value against the Dodgers price, flagging Max Muncy as the one hitter with the résumé to hurt him, and declines to lay the full-game number on Los Angeles given continued bullpen concerns. The second game sends the Mariners to Arlington, where George Kirby carries a jaw-dropping career record against the Rangers into a matchup against Nathan Eovaldi, who has allowed 11 earned runs in fewer than nine innings this season. Munaf names Kirby and Seattle at minus-120 as his official best bet of the episode. The third game features Cristopher Sánchez and the Phillies visiting Oracle Park against Robbie Ray and a Giants team that has gone 1-and-7 since opening weekend, with Dave pointing to the first-five Phillies run line and the under as his preferred structure in a pitcher-friendly park. The NBA card covers Boston hosting Charlotte in a game that means considerably more to the Hornets, who are scrapping for seeding in a tight play-in race, while the Celtics essentially mark time before a more consequential Thursday matchup with New York. Both hosts like the under, backed by back-to-back regular-season meetings that stayed well beneath their respective totals and top-ten defensive ratings from both clubs over the last ten games. The late game puts a streaking but arguably fraudulent Rockets road run to its toughest test yet in Phoenix, where the Suns are a strong home team and both Dylan Brooks and Jalen Green will be facing former employers with something to prove. Dave takes Phoenix, and Munaf agrees. To close, Dave delivers the week's first Masters betting segment with first-round leader plays for Thursday's opening round at Augusta National, building a plus-money portfolio anchored by Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler as proven top-five finishers in round one, Adam Scott at an eye-opening 50-to-1 given his current form on approach shots and first-round scoring, Chris Gotterup at 39-to-1 in his Augusta debut, and Jason Day at plus-475 to finish in the top ten after round one, a number Dave considers well below fair value given Day's documented history at this course. Dave's official best bet for Tuesday is the Yankees to win the first five innings against Oakland on the run line at minus-140 with Cam Schlittler dominating a lineup that has never faced him.
