Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open Thursday's episode by working through a three game getaway day slate before turning their attention to two of the more closely watched NFL win totals on the board. The night's headline game is the Field of Dreams matchup between the Phillies and Twins in Dyersville, Iowa, streaming on Netflix, with Aaron Nola starting for Philadelphia against Taj Bradley for Minnesota. Rain is the real storyline here, with chances climbing through the evening and threatening to shorten or postpone the game entirely, a factor the hosts believe is keeping the total pinned at eight and a half even as public money piles onto the over. Dave leans the under and toward Minnesota given his skepticism of Nola's recent form, while Munaf backs up the same concerns with Nola's home and road numbers this season. From there the show moves to Rangers at Angels, where Jacob deGrom's rough recent stretch against Houston and the White Sox opens the door for a high variance read on Walbert Urena and a shaky Los Angeles bullpen, with Dave favoring an Angels first five look and a Rangers team total over, while Munaf reveals he is the featured dollar capper on Pregame.com with a three star play on the game. The nightcap pits Shane Drohan against Roki Sasaki as the Brewers visit the Dodgers, with a Freddie Freeman injury scare from the previous night hanging over the Los Angeles lineup. Both hosts lean under the total, with Dave adding the Brewers on the run line given Milwaukee's bullpen depth and Drohan's tendency to limit home runs. After a quick pass through the day's earlier getaway games, including a Red Sox and Blue Jays pitching matchup between Payton Tolle and Max Scherzer, the conversation shifts fully into football. The Philadelphia Eagles carry a win total of ten and a half after an eleven and six season and a second straight NFC East title, and both hosts take the under, pointing to the trade of A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, first year offensive coordinator Sean Mannion learning on the job, lingering questions in the secondary beyond Cooper DeJean, and a stronger projected NFC East. They still see Philadelphia as a ten win caliber team capable of winning the division, with DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, and rookie Makai Lemon absorbing a larger share of the passing game behind Saquon Barkley. The Detroit Lions carry the same ten and a half win total after a nine and eight season that saw the best point differential in the NFC North undone by a losing divisional record. Dave leans under given injuries to both projected starting safeties and a tougher slate of divisional quarterbacks, while Munaf takes the over, betting on Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Aidan Hutchinson returning to full strength on defense. The two hosts close the show with their daily best bets, Dave backing the Green Bay Packers minus three and a half in the first half of their preseason opener against Pittsburgh, and Munaf taking the over in Texans at Chargers behind Houston's deep receiver room and Mike McDaniel's new offense in Los Angeles. Listeners are reminded to use promo code NFL50 for fifty dollars off a full NFL season access package on Pregame.com, and the crew previews tomorrow's episode, which continues the NFL win total series with a look at the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

I feel like I did everything & then some this weekend. And I've got even more to do this afternoon. Thankfully, it's supposed to stay dry…because I MUST mow the lawn today. I was planning on doing it this weekend, but we were too busy & there was so much rain yesterday that I never got a chance to get to it. Hopefully you had a great weekend, as well. In the news this morning, a deadly boat capsize by the State of Liberty, Ben "Cooter" Jones dies, the Powerball jackpot is reaching towards a new record, legendary basketball coach Don Nelson died at age 86, a recall on a popular green powder, and what's on the ballot tomorrow in Wisconsin! In sports, the Brewers took two out of three from the Twins this weekend…even as Cooper Pratt & Joey Ortiz are injured, Ty Gibbs won in Iowa yesterday, the NFL pre-season officially starts later this week, Laremy Tunsil is out for an extended period of time, Teddy Bridgewater retires, and Max Scherzer is now 10th on the MLB's all-time strikeouts list! We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, an actress from the "Harry Potter" movies talks about how much money she's been making on OnlyFans. Cool story about a kid with autism who wanted to go trick-or-treating on his birthday, a Wendy's employee who's going to Yale thanks to some help from his bosses at the fast food restaurant, and a kid in Maryland just made a very special cake. Elsewhere in sports, a recap of the Pro Football HOF induction ceremony…some wild times in the WNBA with a flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham, a rescinded tech on Caitlin Clark, and former NBA players are now declaring for the WNBA draft. Plus, another scandal for FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Have you ever had an unexplained experience?? You're not alone!!!

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler reunite on Cash That Ticket for a full breakdown of the Tuesday, July 28 major league baseball card, opening with a look back at Monday's near miss on the Washington Nationals team total tied to Max Scherzer's return from the injured list, a bet that looked live after the Nationals loaded the bases in the first inning before stranding the chance. From there the hosts move through an early Guardians and Reds doubleheader before turning to the night's headline matchups, starting with the Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins, where neither host wants any part of Aaron Nola after a season of allowing home runs at an alarming rate, leaning instead toward Sandy Alcantara and Miami in the first five innings or the game total after the Marlins snapped a rough stretch with a walk off comeback win. The Arizona Diamondbacks and Pittsburgh Pirates follow, with Brandon Pfaadt and Bubba Chandler both expected to work deep after heavy bullpen usage in Monday's extra innings finish, pushing both hosts toward the first five under. The day's featured play comes from Citi Field, where Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves visit a New York Mets club already missing Juan Soto for four to six weeks, and both hosts argue Christian Scott is being undervalued in a heavily juiced line, settling on the first five under four as Munaf Manji's best bet of the show. Attention then shifts to the Bronx, where Cody Bellinger joining Aaron Judge on the injured list adds another dent to a Yankees lineup that has produced little run support for Gerrit Cole in his last three starts, sending both hosts toward Anthony Kay and the Chicago White Sox in the first five innings. The Chicago Cubs and St Louis Cardinals bring a rare moment of full agreement on the Cardinals team total over, powered by Colin Rea's steep home and road split and Michael McGreevy's strong numbers pitching at home despite a lack of run support. Out west, Peter Lambert and the Houston Astros face Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels, with both hosts landing on the first five under behind two of the more underrated arms in the game, before the conversation turns to Houston's trade deadline outlook, touching on rookie right hander Tatsuya Imai's surprising climb into Rookie of the Year odds and speculation linking shortstop Jeremy Pena to the Boston Red Sox. Dave Essler closes the card with his own best bet, backing Logan Henderson and the Milwaukee Brewers in the first five innings against the San Francisco Giants, while also weighing a Boston Red Sox team total over against the Athletics in hot weather and a Minnesota Twins team total lean against the Kansas City Royals. Munaf Manji wraps the card with a Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres total play and a note on the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Dodgers series, where the presumed Dodgers starter never actually got confirmed. The two close the show by previewing football season, noting all 32 NFL teams have reported to training camp with the Hall of Fame Game and the start of the show's NFL win total series, beginning Wednesday with the Chicago Bears, both on the horizon, and remind listeners that Pregame dot com is offering full season access to every college football and NFL pick through the Super Bowl using the promo code Super777 for 777 dollars.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Monday. Griffin Warner runs through the full July 27 Major League Baseball card on this episode of What I Bet, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on Pregame.com, arriving with a betting record of 4 and 1 in his last 5, 8 and 3 in his last 11, 10 and 4 in his last 14, and 13 and 6 in his last 19, even after a tough Friday loss on the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs game that unraveled in extra innings once Pittsburgh's bullpen got exposed. He opens by flagging the first trade of deadline season, the Boston Red Sox sending a young pitching prospect out for a veteran infielder just days after the club tied a franchise record with a 15 game winning streak, one of the longest runs in team history. From there Griffin works through all 11 games on Monday's slate, starting with an early afternoon window between the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers that got pushed up because of World Cup activity around the ballpark complex in the Dallas area. Seattle enters off a dramatic comeback win Sunday behind a go ahead three run homer from Dominic Canzone, and Griffin questions how Texas has been using its bullpen arms in high leverage spots. He breaks down George Kirby against Kumar Rocker, the movement on Seattle's price, and why the Rangers as home underdogs along with the game total look like the most interesting angles. Next comes a deep look at Philadelphia hosting Miami, with Zach Wheeler opposing Tyler Phillips, Griffin's long standing trust in Wheeler, and the fallout from a physical Yankees series that left New York banged up heading into the week. He touches on Philadelphia's aging roster, its fifth starter search, and lands on the under as his preferred angle. The show continues through Arizona visiting Pittsburgh with Merrill Kelly on the mound, Baltimore traveling to Detroit still shaking off a gutting extra inning loss to Atlanta, Max Scherzer returning from injury to face his former club in Washington, the Mets hosting Atlanta with a rookie chasing his second win, a Battle of Ohio matchup between Cleveland and Cincinnati, the Yankees visiting a surprising White Sox club atop the American League Central, Houston visiting the Angels, Boston traveling to face an Athletics team getting a key bat back from injury, and Milwaukee closing the card in San Francisco. Along the way Griffin shares live odds movement, first five inning numbers, bullpen availability notes, and the reasoning behind each lean, all delivered in his usual direct, conversational style. He wraps the card breakdown with a rundown of the current Pregame.com promo code before delivering his official What I Bet best bet of the day, a lean built around trusting a proven arm even at a reduced number. Whether you are tracking totals, first five inning props, or straight sides, this episode covers the entire Monday board in one sitting, with the kind of matchup context and injury notes that shape sharp, informed betting decisions across a full slate of Major League Baseball action.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. A new week of baseball betting opens with a full breakdown of the Monday MLB card, starting with a look back at a tough finish to last week when a Diamondbacks team total fell one run short, and rolling into a heavy dose of Sunday scoring across the league that set up several of Monday's angles, including a detailed look at how teams coming off Sunday Night Baseball perform in their next game on the road, a trend that has favored the over at a rate above seventy percent across multiple seasons and puts a red hot Phillies offense in a fascinating spot against a Miami Marlins team that has dropped twelve straight games, with Zach Wheeler's dominant season and long track record against Miami weighed against Tyler Phillips and his much stronger home numbers, landing on a total rather than a side. From there the card moves to Pittsburgh, where a shaky Merrill Kelly has quietly turned things around over his last four outings while Mitch Keller continues to struggle at home and at night, pointing toward a first five innings total with an eye on rain chances around first pitch. The headline matchup of the day sends Max Scherzer back to the mound for Toronto after more than a month and a half on the injured list, and his rough underlying numbers this season, paired with a well worn trend of fading pitchers fresh off the injured list and a Washington offense that just put up double digit runs, form the basis of the day's featured best bet on the Nationals team total. Atlanta and New York also get a full look, with Ronald Acuna Jr still working back from a leg issue and Juan Soto sidelined for a month or more, while Mets starter Zach Thornton has quietly turned in one of the best individual seasons in the rotation despite getting almost no run support, setting up a first five innings lean toward New York. Out west, Houston and the Angels both trot out starters who have battled control issues all year, suggesting a game that could be decided by which lineup stays patient and draws walks rather than which arm dominates, with a lean toward the total and a slight preference for the home side. A quick tour through the rest of the schedule touches on a heavy favorite in Cincinnati, the Yankees rolling into Chicago as a big favorite, and matchups on the west coast rounding out the night, before closing with a reminder about a football season ticket package covering every pick through the Super Bowl and National Championship for a flat price using a promo code. The episode wraps with the day's single best bet, a team total angle built on a struggling former ace returning from injury and an offense trending in the right direction, delivered in the same straightforward, numbers first style that runs through the rest of the breakdown, mixing pitcher splits, home and road trends, and situational betting angles into one complete rundown of everything worth knowing before locking in a Monday ticket.
