Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. Griffin Warner returns with a loaded May 20 betting card on What I Bet, opening with the Europa League final between SC Freiburg and Aston Villa before moving through the NHL playoffs and a deep Major League Baseball slate. The soccer breakdown focuses on why a neutral site final in Istanbul could play tighter than the market expects, with SC Freiburg carrying underdog value and Aston Villa entering as the more talented favorite. Griffin explains why finals are often less about style and more about survival, clean sheets and avoiding the one mistake that decides a trophy. That points him toward the under two and a quarter, with Freiburg plus three quarters also drawing interest because a low scoring match naturally improves the underdog case. The show then shifts to the NHL, where the Vegas Golden Knights visit the Colorado Avalanche as a sizable road underdog. Colorado is respected as the stronger team, but Griffin sees a path for Vegas if the Golden Knights can slow the game down, defend with discipline and stay out of the penalty box. The market has moved toward the over, but Griffin leans the other way and would be especially interested in an under six and a half if it appears. From there, the episode moves into baseball, where Griffin works through the full MLB board. He leans Phillies behind Aaron Nola against Andrew Abbott and the Reds, understands the Twins price with Joe Ryan against Mike Burrows and a thin Astros lineup, sees runs and possible Rockies underdog value at Coors Field with Jack Leiter facing Kyle Freeland, and likes the Diamondbacks and over angle with Merrill Kelly against Tyler Mahle. He finds the White Sox interesting as a road underdog against the Mariners, especially with Seattle struggling at the plate and Cal Raleigh on the injured list. The most important baseball handicap comes in Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins, where Chris Sale is a large road favorite against Jackson Junk. Griffin does not want to lay the big price with Atlanta, but he respects Sale, gives Junk more credit than the market may and does not trust Miami to produce much offense. That makes under seven and a half the cleanest betting angle and ultimately the official What I Bet best bet. Other MLB thoughts include Washington as a home underdog against the Mets, caution on Toronto against the Yankees because of the Blue Jays bullpen, a Cubs lean against Milwaukee at a cheap price, Boston value with Connelly Early against Michael Wacha and the Royals, St. Louis behind Michael McGreevey against Pittsburgh, an over look in Dodgers vs Padres with Shohei Ohtani involved, and the Angels as an underdog against the Athletics with Aaron Civale facing Jack Kochanowicz. The episode closes with the promo code ERA20 for 20 percent off anything at pregame.com through May 31, then lands on Braves Marlins under seven and a half as the best bet for Wednesday.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler return for a packed Wednesday edition of Cash that Ticket, opening with momentum after a two and one best bet day and quickly moving into the biggest betting angles on the board. The conversation starts with the dramatic Eastern Conference Finals opener, where the Knicks came back from 21 points down, forced overtime, got the cover, and helped the game clear the total. From there, the focus shifts to Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder, where San Antonio holds a 1 to 0 series lead after a double overtime road win. Dave makes the case that the matchup is more complicated than a simple Oklahoma City bounce back spot, noting that the Spurs won Game 1 despite turnover problems, poor outside shooting, and limited bench scoring. He points to the rebounding edge, the paint scoring edge, and the dominance of Victor Wembanyama as major reasons San Antonio can stay inside the number again. Munaf agrees with the Spurs side and highlights how San Antonio has the defensive profile to frustrate Oklahoma City, especially if Alex Caruso does not repeat his 31 point performance. The hosts also get into player props, with Dave liking Stephon Castle over his points number because of his aggression, free throw attempts, and room for better shooting, while Munaf looks toward Shai Gilgeous Alexander assists if the Spurs send extra defensive attention his way. The show then turns to Major League Baseball, beginning with Mets and Nationals, where Dave leans Mets first five behind Zach Thornton and against Zack Littell, while Munaf agrees that the early inning angle is cleaner than trusting the full game bullpen picture. Brewers and Cubs becomes one of the strongest discussions of the episode, with Kyle Harrison getting attention for his recent form and strikeout upside, and Wrigley Field weather creating a strong case for a low scoring game. Dave likes Brewers first five plus a half run, while Munaf later makes Brewers and Cubs under six and a half his official best bet, citing the wind blowing in, Harrison's pitching form, and the likelihood that Chicago's home run based offense is muted. Red Sox and Royals brings another shared lean, as Dave backs Michael Wacha and the under because of his control, Boston's limited success against him, and the cooler Kansas City conditions. Munaf adds that Red Sox team total under could also be a strong look. Dodgers and Padres centers on Shohei Ohtani, with Dave going back to the familiar under angle when Ohtani starts and also considering Padres run line because Randy Vásquez has been difficult to square up and the Dodgers may not have the same offensive ceiling if Ohtani is not hitting. Munaf reinforces the under trend in Ohtani starts and mentions Dodgers team total under as another way to approach the matchup. Dave also adds a lean to Blue Jays and Yankees under, pointing to Trey Yesavage, Cam Schlittler, and two offenses that may not be in ideal hitting form. After a reminder about the Pregame promo code playoffs20, the hosts close with official best bets. Dave takes Athletics and Angels over nine and a half, trusting the hitting conditions, vulnerable pitching, and weak bullpens. Munaf takes Brewers and Cubs under six and a half, expecting a pitcher friendly setup and runs at a premium. The episode delivers a sharp mix of NBA playoff matchup analysis, MLB totals, first five angles, player props, and best bets for a busy Wednesday betting card. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we chat the Royals taking the first couple games of the series from Detroit, while Bobby Witt Jr. wore the superman cape with an inside the park home run to electrify the city. They weren't able to take the finale to really step on the throat though, and Matt discusses how this team hasn't shown they can do that when called upon. Michael Wacha has been incredible amongst an up and down season. As they just keep falling short: a dramatic moment, risky error, they keep drowning. We wonder how competitive this team can be if they're struggling against Chicago as well. Because you need to win the games you're supposed to win. Then we of course, end it with america's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!

Kansas City Royals vs. Athletics MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Royals at Athletics 9:40 PM ET—Michael Wacha will start for KC. Wacha started five games posting an ERA of 2.51 with WHIP of 0.93. The veteran fans 22.8% with 8.1% walks. Ground ball rate of 31.7% with 0.84 home runs per nine innings. A FIP of 3.62. Luis Severino is starting for Athletics. Severino started six games with an ERA of 5.17 with WHIP of 1.56. The right hander strikes out 23.4% with 15.3% walks. Grounders are 40.7% with 1.15 home runs per nine innings.
Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss Kevin McGonigle getting an even bigger extension than Konnor Griffin, the Padres reported valuation of $3.9 billion and whether it will affect CBA negotiations later this year, and how Edwin Diaz missing extended time will affect the Dodgers.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner hosts the latest episode of What I Bet on the Pregame Network and Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, returning after a short break at 5-3-1 over his last nine and ready for a long summer of World Cup soccer and Major League Baseball content, opening with a Friday soccer card that covers Serie A, Ligue 1, and the Bundesliga before running through every game on the MLB slate and delivering the What I Bet best bet. In Serie A, Griffin leans Sassuolo plus one at home against Cesc Fàbregas's Como, a newly promoted side that scores goals and offers real value as a home underdog while Como faces tactical distraction from their Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter midweek, and he leans under three goals in Inter's home match against Cagliari citing possible rotation of Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram for the cup match. In Ligue 1, he waits for Toulouse at plus one and a quarter or better against RC Lens in a game where the visiting side tends to perform above expectations in difficult road environments. In the Bundesliga, St. Pauli host FC Köln in a relegation six-pointer where Griffin expects St. Pauli to control possession and grind out a low-scoring physical game, leaning under two and a quarter to two and a half. On the MLB side he runs every game on the Friday board including Kodai Senga and the Mets at plus 124 against Edward Cabrera and the Cubs, Cleveland minus 135 with Tanner Bibee against Chris Bassitt and the Orioles, Tampa Bay over Pittsburgh in the Rays-Pirates game, Michael Wacha at plus 162 for Kansas City against Cam Schlittler and the Yankees, the Blue Jays-Diamondbacks over nine at plus money with Eric Lauer facing Michael Soroka given bullpen concerns for both clubs, Jacob deGrom against Logan Gilbert in the pitching matchup of the night where he wants a seven to play the under, and José Soriano continuing one of the best starts to a season in the American League while the Angels lean makes sense at a reasonable price against Matt Waldron and the Padres. The official best bet is the Braves at Phillies over nine and a half, with Taijuan Walker finding barrels consistently and Martín Pérez generating soft contact but enough traffic for runs to cross the plate on both sides.

They take your calls and texts, and get right to Kevin Gausman allowing five earned runs over six innings of work - most of those runs came in the early innings via the long ball, how can the Jays curb the home run issue? They get into the first outing from Louis Varland as a Jay, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hitting an early home run, and Michael Wacha solving the rest of the Jays offence to the tune of eight innings of work. 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.
Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The discussion hosted by Manaf Manji with Griffin Warner covers MLB trades, team trajectories, and Friday betting previews. It begins with anticipation for an active trade deadline as the Arizona Diamondbacks officially begin a fire sale after being swept by Houston, trading Josh Naylor to Seattle and reportedly shopping Eugenio Suarez. Griffin notes the Yankees and Cubs as possible suitors while mocking the Yankees' defensive issues despite Aaron Boone's optimism. The first breakdown focuses on the Brewers hosting Miami with Freddie Peralta (12–4, 2.85 ERA) against Cal Quantrill. Milwaukee, 22–6 in their last 28, are heavy favorites at -220. Manji highlights Peralta's home dominance (7–0, 1.53 ERA), backing Brewers -1.5. The Diamondbacks vs Pirates matchup features Ryne Nelson (5.79 road ERA) against Mike Burrows. Warner criticizes Arizona's bullpen anchored by closer Kevin Ginkel (7.89 ERA) and prefers the Pirates as slight home underdogs. The Phillies visit the Yankees with Taijuan Walker and Will Warren on the mound. Both expect a high-scoring affair in homer-friendly Yankee Stadium, with Manji giving his best bet on over 10 runs. In Baltimore, Kyle Freeland (2–10, 5.19 ERA) faces Dean Kremer, who has a 2.00 ERA at home. Manji leans Rockies +1.5 for value. The Dodgers visit Boston with Emmet Sheehan against Brayan Bello. Warner views the Dodgers as overpriced and takes the Red Sox at +106. Tampa Bay's Zach Littell faces Cincinnati's Nick Martinez; Warner favors the Reds as home dogs, while Manji prefers the Rays' team total over. The Blue Jays visit the reeling Tigers, who are 1–10 in their last 11 and last in MLB in runs, ERA, and WHIP over that stretch. Both back Toronto behind José Berríos against Keider Montero. In Chicago, Shota Imanaga meets Adrian Houser. Manji notes the White Sox are 5–2 straight up at home and leans their run line or first five innings while targeting under 8.5. The Braves take on the Rangers with Joey Wentz against Nathan Eovaldi, and Warner leans Braves moneyline against an expensive favorite, though Manji supports Texas early behind Eovaldi. Cleveland's Gavin Williams faces Michael Wacha in Kansas City; Warner points out KC has lost five straight Wacha starts due to poor run support, siding with the Guardians. The Nationals visit the Twins, with Mackenzie Gore versus prospect Zebby Matthews. Warner calls Gore overworked and makes Minnesota -131 his best bet, joined by Manji. Seattle's consistent Brian Wu visits the Angels' Jose Soriano, who has a 5.65 ERA at home. Manji recommends Seattle's team total over. The Mets travel to San Francisco, with Clay Holmes set to be piggybacked by relievers against Logan Webb. Warner backs the Giants at -132, while Manji prefers the under 7.5 or first five under. The show closes with best bets: Griffin takes the Twins -131, while Manji selects Phillies-Yankees over 10. They also tease expanded coverage next week with three episodes leading up to the trade deadline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets. he MLB Tuesday Preview & Best Bets podcast hosted by Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner delivers a game-by-game analysis of the 13 MLB matchups scheduled for Tuesday. The show opens with some light NBA draft lottery banter, but the bulk of the discussion is tightly focused on baseball betting strategies, player performance, and team trends, all based on currently available betting lines. In the Brewers versus Guardians game, both hosts express doubts over Quinn Priester's reliability as the Brewers have lost four straight games he's started, providing him minimal run support. Logan Allen's control issues are acknowledged, but the Guardians are still preferred as a slight home favorite. The Twins against the Orioles matchup sees both hosts backing the Twins, riding their eight-game win streak and taking advantage of Kade Povich's continued struggles, especially at home. Munaf suggests taking the Twins team total over due to their potent offense. For the White Sox and Reds, Griffin leans toward the Reds' offense prevailing, noting the White Sox's dreadful 3-17 road record. Abbott's limited innings aren't seen as problematic due to the White Sox's overall weaknesses. In the Cardinals and Phillies clash, Sonny Gray's consistency and St. Louis' bullpen strength make them an appealing underdog, with both hosts preferring an under if the total reaches eight. The Rays versus Blue Jays game highlights the collapse of Tampa Bay's pitching, with Shane Boz's recent blowups making the Blue Jays the favored side, especially with Jose Berrios pitching steadily at home. In the Pirates versus Mets game, both see little hope for the Pirates despite a recent managerial change, with Munaf favoring the Mets run line and team total over, given Kodai Senga's strong stats. For Nationals versus Braves, the consensus is Braves team total over, citing Soroka's vulnerability and the Braves' offensive firepower, though bullpen concerns persist. The Marlins against Cubs matchup leans strongly toward the Cubs, with their superior offense and Ben Brown's solid form giving them a significant edge. The Rockies versus Rangers game reflects both hosts' disdain for the Rockies' 2-17 road record, suggesting Rangers -1.5 and under 8.5 as the play, with the Arlington ballpark playing pitcher-friendly. Royals versus Astros is a more cautious game, with both acknowledging Michael Wacha's solid form and Framber Valdez's unpredictability when a favorite, but Munaf leans Astros at -140. The Angels versus Padres game is flagged as a potential upset, with Dylan Cease expected to regress after his long no-hit bid. Both hosts side with the Angels due to the risky price on the Padres. In the Yankees versus Mariners showdown, Griffin emphasizes Brian Wu's 11-1 home record and favors Mariners as a home underdog while also suggesting the under, citing the ballpark's suppression of runs. Finally, the Diamondbacks versus Giants game is strongly supported by both as a Giants money line play, highlighting Robbie Ray's perfect 8-0 start record for the Giants. Brentt Fott's last strong outing against the Dodgers is considered unsustainable in the pitcher-friendly Oracle Park, especially given the Giants' ability to win division games at home. Best bets for the day are Griffin's pick of Guardians ML at -120 and Munaf's pick of Giants ML at -105. The overall tone reflects skepticism toward big favorites, leaning instead on undervalued home underdogs and carefully selected unders in specific matchups, especially where bullpen and venue factors suppress offense.
