Alex Stumpf revisits the Pirates' biggest offseason swing: the Brandon Lowe trade. After Lowe homered against Mike Burrows and the Astros, it feels like the perfect time to look back at why this move mattered so much for Pittsburgh. The Pirates needed left-handed power, real lineup impact, and a win-now message to the clubhouse. Lowe has delivered all of that, while also helping make Pittsburgh a more serious landing spot for Ryan O'Hearn. Alex breaks down how the trade came together, why the Pirates' offseason may have looked very different without it, what Lowe's power pace means historically, and why this move stands out as one of the rare aggressive Pirates trades aimed directly at winning right now.

What happens to Mike Burrows with a healthy Astros rotation? The Astros losing winnable games Could Aaron Donald come out of retirement? Madden curse coming for Caleb Williams
Bucco Minute – Another big night for the Pirates last night, beating the Astros 10-6 in Houston. Home runs from Endy Rodriguez, Oneil Cruz and Brandon Lowe. Mike Burrows started for the Astros and did his usual (not great). The guys can't get over how big the Buccos have won a trade. Should the Pirates prioritize Cruz or Lowe if they need to pay someone $200M?
One day after Nick Herbig inked his $100M+ extension with the Steelers, Alex Highsmith missed practice. Steelers PR quickly got ahead of the narrative stating that Highsmith was ‘sick.' If a team approached the Steelers about trading Highsmith in exchange for a 2nd round pick, should they say Yes? Are fans buying the ‘illness' excuse for Alex Highsmith today at practice? One legendary caller said the Steelers are the ‘North Korea of the NFL' because they have an answer for everything.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner is back on the What I Bet Podcast, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM Podcast Network at Pregame.com, covering every major betting angle for Tuesday, June 2nd, beginning with Game 1 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals and running through a full 14-game Major League Baseball slate. Before diving in, Griffin reminds listeners that promo code GRIFFIN50 at Pregame.com gets you $50 off his All Access package through the All-Star break, dropping the price from $249 to $199 and locking in every pick through mid-July. The deadline is July 8th. Starting with the NHL, Griffin lays out his case for the Vegas Golden Knights as a plus-money play in Raleigh. Carolina enters as heavy home favorites after losing just one game across three playoff rounds, but that loss came in Game 1 of the Eastern Final after an extended layoff, a detail Griffin finds relevant as Vegas arrives with its own rest-and-rust dynamic following a sweep of the Colorado Avalanche. Cale Makar's injury limited Colorado at key moments, which gives the Golden Knights some credit for how they navigated that series. Griffin likes Vegas on the money line at plus-132, the series price at plus-127, and is targeting the under six rather than under five and a half to avoid the empty-netter problem that has burned under bettors throughout these playoffs. The MLB breakdown covers every game on the board. Griffin passes on the Padres and Phillies despite a soft Nola start because the overall offensive environment makes it a coin flip. He moves past Detroit and Tampa Bay after finding Jack Flaherty unbackable at any number in his current form and the Rays too expensive for his framework. He finds a clear lean in Washington, where the Nationals are priced at a shockingly cheap minus-111 against Miami's bullpen game, and C.J. Abrams, James Wood, and the rest of a hot-hitting club make that number feel like a gift. Baltimore and Boston shape up as a borderline under at Fenway, and Griffin acknowledges the park's history of eating unders alive before moving on. Cam Schlittler and the Yankees are simply too dominant to fade at any price. Noah Cameron gets some love from Griffin but the Royals bullpen situation, highlighted by a rough week from closer Lucas Erceg, makes Kansas City impossible to trust even if the starter delivers. The Braves look cheap at minus-122 against Toronto, and Bryce Elder's 2026 track record in Atlanta earns Griffin's lean in that direction. Kyle Harrison's continued dominance in Milwaukee, now at 18 consecutive scoreless innings, makes the former top prospect one of the more fascinating stories on the June 2nd card, though Griffin passes on the game itself. Davis Martin and the White Sox visiting Minnesota provides little grip for Griffin, who moves quickly. In St. Louis, he finds one of the night's more interesting numbers at plus-100 on the Cardinals with Dustin May facing Nathan Eovaldi, noting the Rangers' home run problems and Jordan Walker's hot stretch as reasons to look at the Cardinals price. Gage Jump's early big-league exposure at Wrigley Field against Jameson Taillon in a wind-in environment is a situation Griffin monitors but does not commit to. Mike Burrows and Houston get a lean at minus-110 against Pittsburgh. Grayson Rodriguez and the Angels as minus-155 against the Rockies is a price Griffin finds heavy given Rodriguez's injury history, though Colorado plus-140 is a number he admits he will be tracking closely before first pitch. And Michael Soroka's plus-107 price against the Dodgers in Arizona becomes the final talking point, with Griffin identifying his buy price at around plus-100 and expressing genuine affinity for the Diamondbacks in that spot. The official What I Bet Best Bet to close the show is the Washington Nationals minus-112, a number Griffin calls simply too cheap against a Miami team running a bullpen game. The show is three and one over its last four Best Bets.

Hour 4 with Donny Football: Pirates analyst Michael McKenry of SportsNet Pittsburgh joined the show. The Pirates have scored 102 more runs at this point in the year than last! The Brandon Lowe trade was an incredible one and has been great for the Pirates, while Mike Burrows hasn't been good for the Astros. The Carmen Mlodzinski situation puts pressure on Bubba Chandler and Jared Jones to be much better. We hear from Mike McCarthy after the first day of Steelers mandatory minicamp.
Hour 2 with Donny Football: The Cleveland Browns traded Myles Garrett to the Rams for Jared Verse, a first round pick, and additional draft capital. Astros reporter Chandler Rome of The Athletic joined the show. Chandler shared how former Pirates pitcher Mike Burrows dealt with a lot of bad luck in April in many metrics, but hasn't found consistency. Burrows has allowed 13 home runs and most off his fastball. He would be stunned if Alvarez is traded.

Burrows has allowed 13 home runs and most off his fastball. Chandler doesn't think it's been as much of a failure for Burrows as it looks. He doesn't see the Astros having a full selloff unless they freefall. Rome said on a Yordan Alvarez trade, "I would be fall on the floor stunned."

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a loaded Wednesday baseball card on Cash That Ticket, dated May 27, 2026, with the NBA on pause after the New York Knicks swept the Cleveland Cavaliers out of the Eastern Conference Finals and left no playoff action on the schedule. Six MLB games get the full treatment, game by game, pitcher by pitcher, with best bets locked in at the end of the episode. The guys open with a quick Tuesday recap, noting the Brewers three-star loss after Milwaukee scored five of six runs in the wrong inning and the Yankees rocking chair win where the offense exploded for 24 hits and somewhere around 13 or 14 runs, with Munaf cashing his run line and Dave's first five surviving on the back of that first inning. Oklahoma City beat San Antonio 127 to 114, covered the number, and went over the total, now sitting one win away from back to back NBA Finals appearances. First game up is Tampa Bay at Baltimore, where Stephen Matz gets a bit of long overdue respect from the crew and both men land on the Rays team total over given Trey Gibson's limited major league track record and the uncertainty around his pitch count in what is essentially a spot start. The Angels and Tigers follow, and Munaf delivers Jose Soriano's road splits, which are hard to dismiss at a 1.14 ERA this season on the road and a career 2.86 ERA across 32 road starts. Detroit is one and nine in their last ten and carrying a minus 29 run differential, and the lean is first five Angels with an alternate run line as a bonus. Chicago heads to Pittsburgh for a Jameson Taillon and Bubba Chandler matchup, and Dave makes the contrarian call for the Cubs at plus odds, pointing to Chandler's 99-pitch, five-inning outing last start and a season ERA sitting near five as reasons the Pirates may not be the slam dunk many bettors will assume. Bryce Elder and Connelly Early face off at Fenway in a game the guys expect to produce runs, with Elder's 1.97 road ERA and Early's 4.43 ERA at home pointing toward the Braves team total over as the primary play. Gerrit Cole makes his second start since coming back from Tommy John surgery against Noah Cameron in Kansas City, and Munaf makes a data-driven case for the Yankees team total over four and a half at minus 130 based on Cameron's history against New York, where the Royals lefty has surrendered eleven earned runs and five home runs in fewer than nine career innings against this lineup. Jacob deGrom and Mike Burrows square off in Arlington for a Rangers and Astros matchup that Dave calls as the game total over seven and a half, with Burrows allowing eleven earned runs in his last two starts and deGrom pricing oddly low for a home favorite. The nightcap belongs to Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the Dodgers against Tomoyuki Sugano and Colorado, with Ohtani confirmed to pitch after exiting Tuesday's blowout win as a precaution following a hit by pitch on his right hand. Neither man wants to lay minus 411, and the Rockies first five innings under one and a half at minus 165 is the only angle worth touching at this price. Best bets close the show: Dave goes over seven and a half in Arlington, Munaf goes Yankees team total over four and a half minus 130. Pregame.com listeners can access Munaf's all access picks through the MLB All Star break for one hundred ninety nine dollars using promo code NERD50, which saves fifty dollars off the standard price and delivers forty nine days of every pick in every sport including games of the week, month, and year, with the offer good through June 8.

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 Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler are back on Cash That Ticket for a stacked Friday edition on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, working through four NBA playoff games across the Friday and Saturday schedule while also firing through a loaded MLB card that features one of the most anticipated pitching debuts of the 2026 season. Dave opens the show processing a painful Cleveland Cavaliers loss from Thursday night, breaking down the Harden problem in detail and explaining why a fourth-quarter Cavaliers comeback was always going to run out of steam on the road. From there the conversation shifts to Game 3 of the Sixers and Knicks, where Joel Embiid is questionable and the line has swung from New York as a nine-point favorite all the way to Philadelphia as a home favorite. Dave lands on the Sixers team total over 107 and a half while both hosts pass the side, arguing that without Embiid the Philadelphia offense actually plays faster and that the Knicks, for all their paint dominance in the first two games, are not a shutdown defensive unit. Munaf adds a structural argument centered on the Knicks outscoring the Sixers by 52 combined points in the paint across Games 1 and 2, and identifies the first quarter and first half as the cleaner angles if you want to side with Philadelphia. The Spurs and Timberwolves debate produces an unexpected consensus, with Dave walking himself through history and landing on Minnesota at plus four and a half, pointing to San Antonio potentially having shot its load in a statement blowout victory and the pendulum swinging too far. Munaf reinforces the position with Minnesota's six-and-two bounce-back record at home in the playoffs since 2023, covering in all three categories, and both hosts converge on the Wolves team total over given that Minnesota shot only 30 percent from three, missed 15 free throws, and committed 22 turnovers in Game 2 on the road. Saturday's Cleveland game is treated as a home-side spot play, with Dave liking the first half and Munaf laying the full number, both pointing to Detroit's unsustainable 50-percent three-point shooting from the blowout win and Harden's near-certain bounce-back game at home. Oklahoma City is a straightforward laydown at minus eight and a half over a Lakers squad that has no bench, an aging LeBron playing heavy minutes, and a defense that surrendered 125 points in Game 2. Baseball brings Robby Snelling's major league debut for the Miami Marlins as Dave's best bet, with the 22-year-old lefty having posted a 1.86 ERA with 44 strikeouts in six Triple-A starts in 2026 and a dominant multi-year minor league track record that makes the debut label meaningless. Munaf counters with the Cincinnati Reds team total over four and a half runs against Mike Burrows and the Astros, a bet grounded in Burrows surrendering at least five earned runs in four of his last five starts and a bullpen that has done him no favors.

Is public opinion starting to turn around on Ben Cherington? His two major offseason additions have made a significant difference so far this season. Ryan O'Hearn and Brandon Lowe have been hits. Don Kelly is 80-82 in a "full season" as Pirates GM. The Pirates acquired Lowe and Mason Montgomery for Mike Burrows. Burrows has performed poorly during his time so far in Houston. Nick Gonzales has hit well as a first round pick in the Cherington era.
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for the May 1 edition of Cash That Ticket, and the slate is as loaded as any Friday of the playoffs. The show opens with a full Thursday night recap after Minnesota eliminated Denver in six games, with Jaden McDaniels going for a career-high 32 points and 10 rebounds while Terrence Shannon Jr. added 24 in a starting role forced by a three-guard injury pile that left the Timberwolves shorthanded going into the clincher. Jamal Murray shot 4-of-17, finished with 12 points and four assists, and the Nuggets are done. Minnesota advances to face San Antonio on Monday. The Knicks destroyed Atlanta 140-89 on a night where the Hawks never threatened, and Philadelphia beat Boston to force a Saturday Game 7 in the Eastern Conference. Then the guys get into tonight's three elimination games and that is where the real work begins. In Orlando, the Magic are catching four points at home against Detroit in a game where Franz Wagner is out and the Pistons are laying points for the first time in the series on the road in a must-win spot for the home team. Dave likes the Magic plus four and the under at 210. Munaf builds a detailed case for Desmond Bane over 2.5 three-pointers made at plus-117 on DraftKings, citing three consecutive games with three-plus threes, five-plus threes in both Orlando home games, 8.83 attempts per game from deep, and 35-plus minutes of run with Wagner sidelined. In Toronto, Cleveland has never won on the road in this series and the Raptors outplayed the Cavaliers in every stat but three-point shooting in Game 5, losing by five while outrebounding Cleveland by 13 and posting 32 assists to Cleveland's 20. Brandon Ingram moves to doubtful mid-show and the line shifts a full point across every book, but both Dave and Munaf had already made their call on Toronto at plus points before the downgrade was official. In Houston, the Rockets try to force a Game 7 without Kevin Durant, who is out again with a bone bruise in his ankle. LeBron James is 41 and playing six games in thirteen days on the road. Austin Reeves is back but has become a defensive liability. Reed Sheppard had his coming-out moments in Game 5. Amen Thompson is playing like a seasoned postseason veteran. Dave and Munaf both land on Houston to cover and the under at 205.5, noting that three of five games in this series have finished at 205 or below. The MLB card gets a full breakdown too, with Dave delivering his best bet of the year candidate in the Red Sox team total over 4.5 runs against Mike Burrows and the porous Astros bullpen at Fenway Park. Munaf adds the Royals at Mariners under with Cole Ragans and Bryan Woo on the mound as his cleaner baseball play. There is also discussion of the Dodgers at St. Louis under, the Twins team total against Patrick Corbin, the White Sox run line against San Diego, and whether Shane McClanahan at minus-150 is worth it against San Francisco. All this plus the Pregame.com promo code HIT20 for twenty dollars off a thirty-day MLB all-access package at one hundred and nineteen dollars, and a Monday preview that will bring the official April best bets recap, second-round series previews, and the full Timberwolves versus Spurs Game 1 breakdown.
