Podcast appearances and mentions of Miles Mikolas

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  It was a very rough week for the Redbirds (well, not the Springfield ones) and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) aren't terribly inclined to talk about it.  They do give some kudos to Miles Mikolas (of all people) while talking about the pitching problems next year may have.  Are we expecting too much from Chaim Bloom or will this actually be a busy offseason?  Plus Masyn Winn gets shut down, finally.  All that and more on this week's outing!

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals loss from Monday night in Seattle as the Cards dropped the game 4-2 to the M's, which dropped the team to back below .500.Miles Mikolas had one of his better road starts of the year, but when the sixth inning began to go off the rails, Gordon Graceffo came in to try and keep it on the track.When it went off the rails, do we blame Graceffo? Oli Marmol? Or do we just understand that this is all a necessary part of the growth process for these Cardinals.SUBSCRIBE to this channel for St. Louis Cardinals coverage all year long!

St Louis Cardinals vs. Seattle Mariners MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Cardinals at Mariners 9:40PM ET—Miles Mikolas gets the start for St Louis. Mikolas has 27 starts with an ERA of 4.89 and WHIP of 1.33. The right hander fans 14.7% with 5.6% walks. Ground balls served at 39.6% with 1.58 home runs per nine innings.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Wednesday. The latest Dream Preview baseball breakdown opened with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner reviewing tough recent beats before diving into Thursday's slate of Major League Baseball action. Early frustrations centered on bullpen management, where questionable decisions cost winning tickets. Griffin highlighted Bruce Bochy's choices with the Rangers, while Munaf recapped Jeff Hoffman's collapse for Toronto. Both acknowledged the natural ebb and flow of a long season but emphasized how frustrating late-game implosions can be when handicapping results were correct until the ninth inning. Attention then shifted to Thursday's card. The first matchup was Boston at Baltimore. Garrett Crochet's dominance, particularly on the road, was contrasted with Cade Povich's struggles at Camden Yards. With Boston in the playoff chase and Baltimore fading, the Red Sox were positioned as strong run-line value. From there the crew evaluated Arizona against Milwaukee, with concerns about the Brewers' bullpen health and Jose Quintana's crafty veteran presence. Both leaned toward expecting runs given Milwaukee's offensive consistency at home. Houston hosting Colorado drew skepticism about laying a steep moneyline price on the Astros when their offense has sputtered. Kyle Freeland's road history pointed to unders, though the panel admitted Houston needed wins to stay in the AL West race. Pittsburgh at St. Louis prompted a lean toward the under, with Miles Mikolas much stronger at home and Braxton Ashcraft offering upside. The Cubs and Giants series was pegged as a pitcher's duel between Shota Imanaga and Logan Webb, with a likely under in a low-scoring Oracle Park day game. Atlanta at Philadelphia carried the most intrigue. Cal Quantrill's move to the Braves and Aaron Nola's inconsistency created an opening for offense. Both analysts saw double-digit potential and pointed to recent totals easily exceeding posted numbers. The Phillies' injury issues, especially losing Zach Wheeler, added to the uncertainty but suggested their bullpen would be heavily tested. The evening spotlight was Yankees versus White Sox. Will Warren's inexperience and Davis Martin's limited ceiling pointed to offense in Chicago. With both defenses prone to errors and suspect bullpens, the over nine was recommended, while the White Sox as home underdogs were noted as live if their bats clicked. The missing line revealed Mets versus Marlins, with Clay Holmes favored to control the matchup but bullpen risks keeping the over attractive. Best bets were locked in at the end. Griffin chose Yankees–White Sox over nine, citing unreliable pitching and defense. Munaf went with Boston -1.5 behind Crochet's stellar road form against a struggling Povich. They closed with reminders about Pregame promotions, including a college football contest and Griffin's discounted 30-day package. Overall the podcast combined raw reactions to recent heartbreakers with sharp handicapping of Thursday's board. The hosts stressed the importance of finding value across moneylines, run lines, and totals while acknowledging baseball's volatility. Their insight showed how bullpen management, pitcher splits, and situational motivation shape betting strategy. For bettors tracking MLB daily, this episode offered guidance across multiple matchups and reinforced why patience, discipline, and line shopping remain essential for long-term profit Learn more about your ad choices.

We dissect the team's turbulent 2025 season with a focus on the pitching staff's dramatic collapse. From blown leads to inconsistent outings, we explore how the rotation and bullpen have faltered, contributing to the Cardinals' slide to a 65-69 record and fourth place in the NL Central. We zero in on the struggles of key starters Miles Mikolas, who's posted a disappointing 6-10 record with a 5.17 ERA over 25 starts, and Andre Pallante, who's battled to a 6-12 mark with a 5.44 ERA in 25 appearances. What factors are behind their high ERAs and losing records, and can they turn it around before the season ends?

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The MLB Friday betting preview with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner broke down twelve games with both hosts riding an 8–2 streak on best bets. Munaf opened by stressing the urgency with roughly 35 games left, while Griffin noted, “we're getting hot at the right time of year.” Colorado at Pittsburgh led the card. Antonio Senzatela, torched in a 17–16 loss the last time he saw the Pirates, carries a 2–8 road record. Munaf called the over 8.5 the best angle. Griffin, mocking the Rockies as “one of the least competitive franchises in global sports,” leaned Pirates at home but doubted unders due to Colorado bats. Washington at Philadelphia followed with Cade Cavalli against Taijuan Walker. Cavalli threw seven shutout innings versus the Phillies previously, but Munaf warned that rematches favor the hitters. Griffin advised focusing on Phillies run lines and blowout props. The Red Sox at Yankees matchup paired Brayan Bello with Max Fried. Griffin argued the line “doesn't respect what Bello has done,” while Munaf highlighted Boston's 6–1 record in Bello's last seven against New York. Fried has allowed four or more runs in four of his last five. Both favored Boston plus money. Houston at Baltimore featured Lance McCullers in his first start since July 19 against Cade Povich. Griffin pointed to Houston's offensive slump of just eight runs in seven games. Munaf doubted McCullers' sharpness and leaned over nine, adding that Adley Rutschman is sidelined and Josh Hader likely out until October. In Detroit, Ryan Bergen faced Casey Mize. Munaf cited Mize's 3.63 ERA and 103 strikeouts, with Detroit winning his last four starts. Griffin criticized Mize's All-Star nod and praised Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez. Both leaned under early but saw Royals value. The Mets at Braves matchup showcased rookie Nolan McLean, who struck out eight but walked four in his debut. Griffin favored Atlanta as a home dog and the over 8.5, while Munaf leaned similarly, noting hot Atlanta weather would boost scoring. St. Louis at Tampa Bay featured Miles Mikolas against Adrian Houser. Griffin trusted the Rays' bullpen, while Munaf stressed Mikolas' inconsistency and backed Tampa at -128. Minnesota at Chicago pitted Zebby Matthews against Aaron Civale. Griffin quickly said, “give me the White Sox.” Munaf agreed, citing Matthews' 5.06 ERA and Chicago's 7–3 record at home on Friday nights, all as underdogs. In Texas, Slade Cecconi met Nathan Eovaldi. Griffin praised Eovaldi's Cy Young-level form, recommending under plays. Munaf backed that, noting Rangers home unders sit at 64.5 percent. Milwaukee hosting San Francisco saw Carson Whisenhunt oppose José Quintana. Griffin highlighted Bryce Turang's surge, while Munaf cited Milwaukee's 42–20 home record and San Francisco's 13–22 mark against lefties, backing Brewers run line at plus money. Cincinnati at Arizona matched Zach Littell with Ryne Nelson. Munaf praised Nelson's 5–1, 2.20 ERA home mark across 57 innings, backing the Diamondbacks and their team total. Griffin agreed Arizona held value despite a high price. The Dodgers at Padres closed the slate with Blake Snell against Yu Darvish. Griffin trusted Darvish's improvement and liked San Diego as a home underdog. Munaf leaned to the under eight, noting Snell's six scoreless innings against the Padres last week but citing Darvish's 2.55 career ERA in 16 appearances versus Los Angeles. Best bets closed the show. Griffin picked Tampa Bay over St. Louis, while Munaf selected the over in Houston and Baltimore, both looking to extend their winning streak into the weekend.

Bernie Miklasz joins Tom Ackerman to break down the Cardinals' draft strategy with the 5th overall pick, weighing top prospects including a 17-year-old shortstop from Oklahoma and a Florida State lefty. He discusses the team's slide since June, pitching woes, and inconsistent offense, suggesting players like Ryan Helsley and Miles Mikolas could be traded as the team eyes the future. Bernie also reacts to the surprise departure of longtime Blues broadcaster John Kelly, praising his legacy and questioning the move.

This week Ron, Elliott, and Pete welcome back special guest Dustin “The Duke” Duquenne as they dive headfirst into last weekend's fireworks at Wrigley, highlighted by an eight-homer beatdown of the Cardinals on the Fourth of July that set league and franchise records (for both teams!).
