They take your calls and texts, and get right to Max Scherzer allowing seven earned runs over 2.1 IP - should he have been pulled sooner to give the waking bats a chance? What is his role going forward if he can't be a member of the starting rotation with Trey Yesavage and José Berríos on their way back, and has even Patrick Corbin earned a role over him?

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.

** THIS IS A SHORT, FREE PREVIEW OF THIS WEEK'S PATREON-EXCLUSIVE BONUS EPISODE. TO HEAR THE EPISODE IN FULL, VISIT US AT PATREON.COM/BJHH **For this week's Patreon-exclusive bonus episode, with Max Scherzer's wobbly start to the season front of mind (*recorded before his Arizona start*), we decided to "remember some guys" by looking back at several players who finished out HOF-calibre careers with the Blue Jays—or played briefly with the Blue Jays at or near the end—as diminished versions of their former selves. Turns out there have been quite a few! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sho Alli and Kaitlyn McGrath break down the Blue Jays' 6-2 loss vs. the Diamondbacks in Arizona to lose the series, their sixth straight series loss. They take your calls and texts, and get right to Jeff Hoffman loading the bases with none out in the eighth inning, only to promptly give up a grand slam to Corbin Carroll. After already being removed from the closer role, what else can be done? Is he completely out of the circle of trust, and what other leverage spots can he pitch in at this point? They also discuss the offence providing 12 hits but only one extra-base hit, and get to Max Scherzer delivering six innings of two-run ball on just 74 pitches.   The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The Blue Jays bats showed signs of life on Tuesday, but went immediately back to sleep in consecutive 2-1 losses to the Brewers in Milwaukee that sent to club to its fifth straight series defeat. Their hitters are struggling, and even on the pitching side—where help is on the way—a strong performance from Patrick Corbin and back-to-back duds from Eric Lauer and Max Scherzer are complicating the path forward. Fun, huh?The American League has hardly gotten away from them yet, but getting back to a .400 winning percentage shouldn't be this tall of a task. Especially when, through all of this, we're simultaneously having to deal with Insufferable Closer Discourse (TM).** FOR AN AD-FREE VERSION OF THIS—AND EVERY—EPISODE, PLUS WEEKLY BONUS SHOWS, FIND US AT patreon.com/BJHH ** Hosted on Acast.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Toronto Blue Jays' series-opening win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Defending champ Fitzgerald Mo Pena is back for more after peppering the Yahoo coding to play in his favor. You can see why everyone in the league has this guy under close watch. What won't you do to win, Fitzgerald? Who's children won't you consume on your way to the top? Rough third week for Ian of NASP. Mostly because of the ever present cheating scandal. Also because of Max Scherzer, who I would recommend against picking up. It is time. Stay tuned for more fantasy! https://linktr.ee/nasppodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 14-2 loss vs. the Dodgers in the series opener at the Rogers Centre. They take your calls and texts, and get right to the short outing for Max Scherzer - after hearing about the forearm tendonitis, what could that mean for the rotation going forward? They get into another listless outing for the offence as well - even with a bug going around the clubhouse, do the bats deserve some blame?   The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates. 

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open Tuesday morning by recapping the Blue Jays' disappointing 14-2 loss to open their series against the Dodgers. The boys dive into the team's slow start, the injuries to then rotation including Max Scherzer's forearm tendinitis, and the strain on the bullpen. They also reflect on the return of the Dodgers to Toronto after the World Series, fan reactions, and offensive concerns surrounding players like George Springer and Kazuma Okamoto, while considering if last season's slow start offers any reassurance. After the break, they're joined by Adam Stanley (27:51) live from Augusta National Golf Club to discuss the atmosphere, storylines following Rory McIlroy's green jacket win, the openness of the field, expectations for LIV golfers like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, and Canadian Corey Conners' opportunity.

Guests: Blue Jays pitchers Max Scherzer and Spencer Miles, Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke   This week in Deep Left Field, we go over the Blue Jays' week that was, which featured a sweep of the Athletics and an ugly series loss to the sad-sack Colorado Rockies, with a special emphasis on Cody Ponce's catastrophic knee injury and what that means for the rotation. Then we hear from two Jays pitchers at the absolute opposite ends of the spectrum. Max Scherzer is starting his 19th season in the big leagues and is ticketed for immortality in Cooperstown when he's done. Spencer Miles is a rookie, selected in the Rule 5 draft, who still hasn't hit the 25-inning mark as a professional. Incredibly, the two hurlers are linked by a Missouri snowstorm. They both tell us that story. Also, Pickering's own Denzel Clarke made an opening day roster for the first time in his career, after playing for Canada at the World Baseball Classic for the second time. We catch up with the centre field magician as we look out at the stands where he saw his first big-league game. All that, plus the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!
