Podcasts about mlb all stars

The guys discuss the fish's new found success and Otto Lopez's campaign to the All-Star game. Tobin and Leroy discuss potential landing sports for Jaylen Brown as it seems like the Celtics still plan to move on from him. The guys get into a quibble over Sergei Bobtovsky as Tobin is still not ready to give him up while Leroy thinks it may be time to move on from him.

The guys start the show off reacting to the first night of the NBA Draft and the Lakers trading up one spot to pick Cameron Carr out of Baylor. Kap is somewhat disappointed that there isn't a bigger storyline regarding the Lakers, since they simply picked a developmental player instead of making a trade for a current player or trade further up in the draft. Is there any excitement in this move for Lakers fans? Berg's 3 Dodgers Things with Lindsey: Wrobleski bolstering his All-Star case with 9th win of season, Dodgers lead in run diff, win percentage and No.1 in power rankings with an injury-riddled roster, and Hye-seong Kim is 4th place in the MLB All-Star fan vote for second basemen, despite being in the minors! NBA Insider/Outsider! Kap and Lindsey ask Ball-Knower Sedano some questions about Cameron Carr - Why did he slide? Carr and Luka share the same agent - is that a coincidence, or a sign Luka's camp has influence on Lakers decisions? And is the Carr pick a real commitment to player development?

The Cardinals enter a pivotal point in their season as they begin a six-game stretch against the Arizona Diamondbacks and Miami Marlins, two series they may need to win before facing a significantly tougher schedule leading into the All-Star Break. The discussion centered on St. Louis' playoff positioning, the importance of taking advantage of favorable matchups, and how a strong week could shape the club's outlook for the second half of the season. The show also highlighted another historic achievement by soccer superstar Lionel Messi, who added yet another milestone to his legendary résumé during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The crew examined where Messi's latest record ranks among his countless accomplishments and what it means for his place in soccer history. Plus, Intern Pierce "The Fierce" sparked a lively debate on two hot-button topics: MLB All-Star voting and Canada. The conversation covered whether fan voting still produces the most deserving All-Stars, which players may be getting overlooked, and featured plenty of laughs as Pierce shared his unique takes on America's northern neighbor.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. It is June 1, 2026, and Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back at the start of a new month with the full MLB Monday slate on the table and a perfect 2-0 best bet record from Thursday to carry into the week. The guys open with a quick but meaningful conversation about handicapping discipline, with Munaf explaining why he took Sunday off from posting plays rather than force something that was not there, and Dave backing the decision by making the case that this kind of restraint is exactly what winning long-term looks like and what clients are actually paying for when they subscribe. From there the full card gets the full treatment. Detroit heads to Tampa Bay with Ty Madden activated off the injured list to start or handle a bulk role against Griffin Jax, who has reinvented himself as a legitimate starter for the Rays with a 1.42 ERA in his recent stretch, and both hosts weigh a fade of the IL return against the case for the Tigers plus one and a half on the run line in a game the total projects for around eight. The Marlins take Sandy Alcántara to Washington, where Cade Cavalli gets the ball for the Nationals and both bullpens are identified as over-pushing threats in a park that has hit the over at nearly 68 percent in home games this season, leading Dave to his best bet of the episode, the Marlins team total over three and a half. In Milwaukee, Landen Roupp faces an opener-led Brewers lineup with Shane Drohan starting and Chad Patrick handling the bulk of the workload, and both hosts land on the under and the Giants run line in a low-total game where paying a big price on a three-inning pitcher does not make sense. David Sandlin faces the same Minnesota Twins club he dominated in his MLB debut five days earlier, retiring 18 straight after a leadoff homer, while Joe Ryan brings a solid recent stretch but a 4.42 home ERA into a spot where the White Sox first-five plus a half run gets the call. Jacob deGrom and Michael McGreevy headline the pitcher's duel of the night in St. Louis, where deGrom's 8.44 career ERA at Busch Stadium and McGreevy's 1.93 home ERA combine with both teams' shaky bullpens to make Munaf's official best bet an easy call: first-five-innings under four at minus-115, take the two starters and get out before the relief corps get involved. Kyle Freeland's ugly season numbers run into Freeland's strong career record against the Angels, while the market has already knocked the price down nearly 20 cents from its opening on José Soriano, with Munaf leaning Rockies plus one and a half and Dave going Angels team total over rather than lay the big number. Chase Burns has been one of the best pitchers in baseball in 2026, and his Cy Young-caliber season continues against Kansas City, where Luinder Avila is being asked to handle a starting role out of the bullpen and the sharp money that moved the price nearly 20 cents makes the Royals plus one and a half a reasonable market-following play. Eduardo Rodríguez is 5-1 with a 2.31 ERA but owns a troubling split against the Dodgers specifically at home in Arizona, where Emmet Sheehan brings the better underlying metrics despite a higher ERA, and both hosts elect patience, watching the early innings for a live entry rather than committing pre-game. The night closes in Seattle with Emerson Hancock against an Austin Warren opener for the Mets, where uncertainty about the Mets bullpen depth earns the game Munaf's official pass of the day and Dave identifies the first-five under as the cleanest available angle. Dave closes with a market call: home favorites went 11-1 on Sunday, and that kind of lopsided result historically corrects itself, making Monday a dog-day card where the plus-money side of the ledger deserves attention.

Griffin Warner talk betting for Friday. Griffin Warner is back on the What I Bet podcast with one of the most loaded Friday cards of the season, covering a Champions League final preview, a potential series-ending Game 5 in the NHL Eastern Conference Finals, and a full fourteen-game Major League Baseball slate from first pitch to the night's marquee showdown in Los Angeles. Warner opens with a quick look at Arsenal and PSG preparing to meet in Hungary on Saturday, noting that both clubs play a possession-dominant style that would make the final an exercise in control and patience. The hockey segment takes center stage early as Warner dissects the situation facing the Montreal Canadiens, who arrived in Carolina as a plus 199 money line underdog trying to avoid elimination after a dominant Game 1 gave way to three straight losses. He walks through the series odds, the compressed total of 5.5 at nearly even juice, and the possession dynamics that have kept Montreal trapped in their own zone, comparing Carolina's shot-volume approach to the ball-control philosophy of the two Champions League finalists. His clearest hockey lean is the under, supported by a secondary interest in Montreal's puck line at plus 1.5. The baseball analysis begins with Atlanta and Grant Holmes visiting Cincinnati and Chris Paddock, where Warner leans over, before working through Lucas Giolito's road start for San Diego against Washington and the potential value in the Nationals as a home underdog given their surprising offensive output. Pittsburgh and the long-awaited return of Jared Jones from internal brace surgery draws a careful look against Taj Bradley and Minnesota, with Warner favoring the under given Jones's extended absence and bullpen volatility on both sides. The Miami Marlins and Max Meyer visiting Freddy Peralta and the Mets produce an under lean consistent with a matchup Warner faded successfully the previous week. He moves through Walbert Ureña and Los Angeles at Tampa, Boston's minor league call-up visiting Cleveland and Slade Cecconi, Shōta Imanaga and the Cubs visiting St. Louis, Troy Melton and a struggling Detroit team road-favored against the White Sox and Erick Fedde, Stephen Kolek on a post-complete-game fade against MacKenzie Gore in Texas, Coleman Crow on the road for Milwaukee in Houston against Kai-Wei Teng, Logan Webb and the Giants visiting Colorado where Warner leans over and toward the Rockies, Carlos Rodón and the Yankees at the Sacramento Athletics and Luis Severino, Zac Gallen and Arizona at Seattle in a stay-away situation, and finally Zach Wheeler and the Phillies arriving in Los Angeles as plus 103 road underdogs against Justin Wrobleski, where Warner leans to Philadelphia as a coin-flip spot with positive expected value. The What I Bet Best Bet lands on the Cleveland Guardians and Slade Cecconi at minus 115, a number that climbed from minus 113 during the recording session as confirmation of the direction.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler take on a focused Thursday card on Cash That Ticket, covering Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference Finals and three all-divisional MLB matchups on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed. The Oklahoma City Thunder arrive in San Antonio holding a 3-2 series lead with Jalen Williams listed as questionable, Ajay Mitchell officially ruled out with a right soleus calf strain, and Thomas Sorber also unavailable, while the Spurs enter with a clean injury report for an elimination game at home. The Spurs open as 3.5-point favorites at a total of 219.5, and both hosts target the under as the primary play. Dave makes the case from Game 5 numbers he considers unsustainable, including OKC shooting 48 percent from three, 70 combined free throws, 26 Spurs fast break points, and 241 total points in a San Antonio loss. He expects the Spurs to slow the pace and play one possession at a time to force a Game 7, while also noting that eight of the last nine Spurs games went over yet this total is the highest they have faced in months. Munaf goes further by also laying the 3.5 points with San Antonio, using Game 4's 103-82 result as his stylistic template, and identifies the first half total of 106.5 as a secondary under spot. On props, Dave targets Stephon Castle at plus 116 for two or more threes made, backed by five-plus attempts in four of his last five games and a Thunder defensive focus on Wembanyama that consistently opens the perimeter for Castle. Munaf backs De'Aaron Fox rebounds plus assists over 9.5 on FanDuel after the number cashed easily in Game 5, and reads Wembanyama as more likely to impact the game through scoring than rebounding given OKC box-out adjustments over the last three games. The baseball card features three 6:35 to 6:40 Eastern divisional matchups. In Baltimore, Patrick Corbin faces Chris Bassitt, who takes on his former team at Camden Yards with a sharp home-road split showing a 3.46 ERA at home against an 8.02 on the road. Dave leans Toronto at the underdog price, while Munaf backs the Orioles and over 8.5, noting Pete Alonso as a home run prop candidate and Corbin's career struggles against Baltimore. In Pittsburgh, Paul Skenes draws the Cubs in a spot where the data runs against his reputation. In four home starts against Chicago, Skenes has never completed five innings, owns a 5.60 ERA, and has allowed 11 earned runs and five home runs in 17.1 innings against Cubs bats. Winds blow out at 13 miles per hour at PNC Park and both hosts back the over 7.5 with the Cubs first five innings money line as a supporting play. The rubber match between Houston and Texas closes the card with Spencer Arrighetti facing Nathan Eovaldi. These starters combined for more than 14 innings and zero runs when they each faced these same opponents roughly two weeks earlier. Dave makes the Astros first five innings plus 0.5 runs at minus 120 his official best bet, keeping Houston's struggling bullpen out of the equation while the half-run cushion protects a tie after five. Munaf takes the first five under, citing Eovaldi's streak of six-plus innings in five straight starts and a seven-inning Astros shutout on May 17th as reasons the total stays low early. Best bets for Thursday are the Astros first five plus 0.5 runs from Dave and Cubs-Pirates over 7.5 from Munaf.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. Griffin Warner is back with a fully loaded Wednesday edition of What I Bet Best Bet, delivering picks across three sports on one of the most action-packed single days of the sports calendar. The episode opens with the UEFA Conference League Final in Leipzig, Germany, where Crystal Palace of the English Premier League takes on Rayo Vallecano of La Liga in the biggest European match either club has ever played. Crystal Palace enters as a half-goal favorite on a neutral pitch, but Griffin makes a pointed case for Rayo at plus-half-goal, arguing that the line overvalues Palace on a neutral site where a draw through ninety minutes or any result in extra time still cashes the Rayo side. The under two and a quarter is also in play as line movement from minus 135 to minus 148 signals sharp money flowing to the low-scoring side. Griffin traces the fascinating managerial backstory, connecting Rayo boss Inigo Perez to Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola and explaining how Brexit work permit rules sent Perez back to Vallecas instead of England, where he built one of the more compelling underdog runs in recent European football. From there, Griffin pivots to the NHL Eastern Conference Final, where Carolina leads Montreal two games to one after back-to-back overtime wins. Griffin remains a Canadiens believer, takes Montreal plus 127 at home in the largest arena in the NHL, and outlines a total strategy of waiting for the line to climb from five and a half to six before buying the under for push protection. The bulk of the episode covers the full 14-game Major League Baseball Wednesday slate, running through every matchup from the Toronto-Miami matinee with Kevin Gausman against Eury Perez to the massive Dodgers-Rockies nightcap featuring Shohei Ohtani against Tomoyuki Sugano. Griffin leans heavily on Christopher Sanchez as a total trust play against Walker Buehler in San Diego, backs the Twins over the White Sox despite Chicago's surprising market momentum, eyes the Sacramento ballpark factor in Mariners-Athletics, and still believes in the Tampa Bay Rays moving forward after Griffin Jax's line drive injury derailed Tuesday's start. The episode closes with Griffin's Best Bet of the day: Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees under nine runs, backing Garrett Cole to deal efficiently in just his second start back from Tommy John surgery while giving genuine credit to Noah Cameron as a left-hander the market consistently undervalues. Use promo code GRIFFIN50 at pregame.com for 49 days of all-access picks through the MLB All-Star break for $199, a $50 savings off the standard price. Offer valid through June 8.

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.
