Reporting live from Jacksonville ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' joint practices with the Jaguars, Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick recap the shaky tackle depth behind Baker Mayfield in the preseason opener and preview what to watch as the Bucs get real practice reps against Liam Cohen's similarly-schemed offense. They dig back into the Jalon Daniels debate — why his string of strong preseason relief outings still shouldn't make him QB2 over veteran Jake Browning — and break down the wild news out of Cleveland, where Todd Monken named Deshaun Watson the Week 1 starter over Shedeur Sanders, setting up a loaded Week 2 matchup when the Browns visit Tampa Bay and Baker Mayfield faces the quarterback who effectively pushed him out of Cleveland. Rick also weighs in on the arrest of 49ers owner Jed York and what it means for accountability at the ownership level.On the Rays, Drew Rasmussen and Nick Martinez keep building Cy Young cases with back-to-back dominant starts, and closer Bryan Baker pushed his save total to 38 as Tampa Bay knocked off Detroit behind some old-school, back-to-back bunt small ball. At 78-53, the Rays have already topped last year's win total with 31 games still to play. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down the Bucs' 16-15 preseason win over Kansas City, where Baker Mayfield's night was cut short behind a patchwork offensive line missing three of its top four tackles, but the starting defense — even without Vita Vea — flashed real teeth, with Rueben Bain Jr. terrorizing the pocket and Anthony Nelson turning in a monster first half. Once again it was Jalon Daniels rallying the offense late, and Rick and Steve debate whether the rookie has already played his way onto the 53-man roster and turned the Bucs into an unlikely three-quarterback team. They also dig into the wave of players testing a new court ruling that allows a return to college eligibility — Jack Pyburn's situation, plus the wild story of the Browns releasing tight ends who got calls from Lane Kiffin — and preview this week's joint practices with Liam Cohen's Jaguars in Jacksonville.On the Rays, Nick Martinez was brilliant — six innings, one hit — in a 3-1 win over Baltimore that snapped a three-game skid and avoided a fourth straight series loss to the Orioles. Rick and Steve talk about what's behind the second-half stumble in the pitching staff, and why holding onto the AL East lead down the stretch matters as much for the bye it could buy as anything else.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler sit down on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, opening at 00:11 with a plan to run through the day's baseball card before turning to the next NFL win total on the board, the Buffalo Bills at ten and a half. Essler joins at 00:50 fresh off a rough night with a Braves team total, then lights up over a Frank Thomas rookie card pull from a fresh box, sparking a short conversation about grading costs, centering, and how AI and celebrity involvement have pushed the trading card market toward pricier autographed, numbered parallels. At 02:25, Manji delivers a scheduling note, confirming this is the final week of the show before it shifts into its football format, with a Thursday props pod, a college football podcast alongside Lante, a Monday morning recap paired with a Monday Night Football preview, and a full weekend preview show on Fridays taking its place, while the current format returns after the new year. The baseball breakdown begins at 04:13 with the Yankees at the Orioles, Carlos Rodon opposing Shane Baz at a total of eight and a half, where Essler leans toward the Yankees team total while Manji sides with Baltimore on the moneyline, pointing to New York's struggles with runners in scoring position and Rodon's recent return from the injured list. At 08:09, the Blue Jays visit the Rays, Jose Soriano against Nick Martinez at seven and a half, with both hosts warming to Toronto behind Soriano's strong two starts and a struggling Tampa Bay bullpen. At 12:16, the Tigers travel to Pittsburgh to face the Pirates, Keter Montero opposite Braxton Ashcraft at a total of eight, where Essler favors a first five under while Manji likes Detroit's plus money given its league best road record since the All Star break. At 17:06, the Padres meet the Mets, Robbie Ray against Zack Thornton at eight and a half, with both hosts landing on the first five over given shaky command from both starters. At 21:16, the card closes with the Mariners in Milwaukee against the Brewers, Bryce Miller opposing Kyle Harrison at seven and a half, where Manji highlights Miller's poor road form and a Sunday Night Baseball fade angle to back the Brewers team total over three and a half. Essler runs down the rest of the day's slate at 25:36 before the conversation turns to football at 29:23, where the hosts dig into the Buffalo Bills win total of ten and a half. They walk through a 12 and 5 season a year ago, an AFC East runner up finish behind New England, a wild card win over Jacksonville, and an overtime divisional round exit in Denver, before previewing new head coach Joe Brady, the addition of DJ Moore at receiver, and a defense under new coordinator Jim Leonard that both hosts see as the swing factor for the season. They break down the schedule in detail, from the Week 1 trip to Houston through a manageable home stretch, a West Coast swing, and a difficult December run, ultimately agreeing the over is the right side if Josh Allen stays healthy. At 39:22, the hosts remind listeners about the pregame.com picks package and a seasonal discount before wrapping with best bets at 41:38, Essler backing the Astros team total over four and a half against the Angels and Manji sticking with the Brewers team total over three and a half against the Mariners. The show closes at 46:08 with Essler hoping his card collection has one more gem waiting inside, and Manji confirming the crew returns tomorrow with more picks and analysis as the season rolls on toward the football schedule ahead.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to left wrist inflammation, marking his third stint on the shelf this season. Corey Pieper breaks down a frantic wave of injury updates, an incredible single-game home run barrage in Cleveland, high-leverage late-inning bullpen roles, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The transaction wire continues to move at a relentless pace across Major League Baseball. On the health front, Bobby Witt Jr. was forced to exit Monday's contest early with lingering back tightness, Miguel Andujar hits the injured list with a wrist fracture, and Max Meyer lands on the IL with a neck strain.

On the positive side of roster moves, Ronel Blanco has officially been activated, Ranger Suarez is set to return to the mound today, and Gleyber Torres is officially back in active lineups.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. On this Friday edition closing out the first half of the baseball season, Munaf Manji and Dave Essler run through a full slate of matchups before turning their attention to an NFL win total preview on the Dallas Cowboys, all while being honest about a rougher stretch of results over the past couple weeks. Dave opens by noting he cashed his client best bet on the Brewers first five the night before, and he shares that he likes Matt Fitzpatrick and Rory heading through their respective golf rounds. Munaf explains that Thursday cards have been a consistent trouble spot this season, largely because of the thin getaway day schedule, and he pledges never to force plays just to have something on the board every day. The two then work through four featured games in careful detail. In the nation's capital, Ryan Weathers and the Yankees face Carson Palmquist and the Nationals, with both hosts leaning heavily on the over given Palmquist's expected short outing, a shaky Nationals bullpen, and a Nationals lineup that leads the majors in runs scored, plus a standout trend showing the Nationals going twelve and three to the over in the first game of a home series this season. In Tampa Bay, Luis Castillo and the Mariners take on Nick Martinez and the Rays, with the pair pointing to Castillo's poor history following high pitch count starts and Martinez owning a career mark of zero and four against Seattle, landing both hosts on the over and some added interest in the Rays moneyline. In Miami, Parker Messick faces Sandy Alcantara in what both expect to be a tightly pitched affair, with a detailed discussion of pitch count trends, Jose Ramirez potentially returning to the Guardians lineup soon, and Alcantara's strong home splits this season. In Cincinnati, Shota Imanaga takes on a struggling Hunter Greene coming off a brutal return from injury, with both hosts leaning toward the Cubs in the first five innings and citing Imanaga's strong career track record against the Reds, including a ten strikeout effort earlier this season. The conversation also touches briefly on several other games around the board, including Chris Sale and the Braves against the Cardinals, the Dodgers as rare underdogs against the Diamondbacks, a total that spiked from nine and a half to ten and a half between Baltimore and Kansas City, action involving the Athletics and White Sox, a total shift in the Astros and Rangers game, the Angels and Twins, Phillies and Tigers, Red Sox and Mets, and a notable total jump in the Blue Jays and Padres matchup. From there, the show shifts into a lengthy and opinionated breakdown of the Dallas Cowboys ahead of the coming NFL season, with a win total set at nine and a half. Dave delivers an extended take on ownership, ongoing questions about the new defensive coordinator and head coaching staff, and why he continues to side with the under until the results prove otherwise, while Munaf highlights a brutal opening stretch of the schedule, an offense that should remain productive, and a defense that gave up the second most points in the league last season, ultimately projecting an eight or nine win season. The episode wraps with best bets for Friday, as the hosts land on a Royals team total play, a low scoring first five bet between the Guardians and Marlins, and a bonus mention involving a red hot Twins starter against a struggling Orioles pitcher working back from injury. Before signing off, the pair remind listeners this is the final show before the All-Star break, with new episodes returning around July twenty first, and they encourage listeners to check out a discounted picks package covering baseball, golf, and basketball coverage heading into a busy sports weekend that also includes UFC action and World Cup quarterfinal matches.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Real_G Warner closes out the World Cup Round of 32 with a full betting breakdown before diving into a stacked Major League Baseball card ahead of the July 4th holiday weekend. The episode opens on the soccer pitch with Australia and Egypt in Dallas, where Real_G leans toward a low scoring affair and a cleanly priced Egypt moneyline, before shifting to Cape Verde and Argentina, a matchup he expects to stay under the total even as Cape Verde's improbable tournament run continues. The soccer preview wraps with Ghana and Colombia, where Real_G questions whether Colombia's attack can find its rhythm against a Ghana defense that already shut down England, while flagging rising moneyline value on a potential Ghana advance. From there the show moves into baseball, working through the entire MLB slate one matchup at a time, including St. Louis and Andre Pallante visiting the Cubs and David Peterson, Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller against Washington's Foster Griffin, Minnesota's Mike Paredes facing Gerrit Cole and the Yankees, Chicago's Anthony Kay against Cleveland's Gavin Williams, Baltimore's Trevor Rogers on the road against a struggling Reds club, the Mets and Christian Scott visiting Atlanta, San Francisco's Logan Webb against Colorado's Ryan Feltner, Tampa Bay's Nick Martinez against Houston's Spencer Arrighetti, Boston's Jake Bennett against the Angels and Reid Detmers, Miami's Tyler Phillips against Jack Perkins and the Athletics, Milwaukee's Kyle Harrison against Arizona's Jose Cabrera, and Toronto's Dylan Cease on the road against Seattle's Luis Castillo. The centerpiece of the baseball portion is San Diego and Michael King on the road against Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers, where Real_G explains why the run line offers far better value than an inflated moneyline number on King. The episode closes with the official What I Bet best bet, sending listeners into the holiday weekend with the Padres and Michael King on the run line at plus one and a half, along with a look back at recent results that has the show sitting at five wins and three losses over its last eight picks. Before the pick is revealed, Real_G shares a July 4th promo code for Pregame.com, offering holiday weekend access from Wednesday through Monday across every pick in every sport for seventy seven dollars using code HOTDOG12, giving listeners full coverage heading into one of the busiest sports weekends of the summer.

Ronnie Lane fills in for TKras and welcomes Marc Topkin to break down the hottest team in baseball. The conversation starts with Ronnie's disbelief over Jeff Passan calling the Yankees the best team in the American League "by far" while seemingly overlooking the Rays. Ronnie and Marc discuss Tampa Bay's 8-game winning streak, Junior Caminero's remarkable transformation into one of baseball's most dangerous hitters, and whether the young slugger has officially become the face of the franchise. Plus, they examine the recent impact of Cedric Mullins, Taylor Walls, and whether Nick Martinez has earned his first All-Star selection.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner returns to the What I Bet show on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a stacked Friday, June 26, 2026, pairing a decisive World Cup group stage with a complete Major League Baseball board. With two matches per group kicking off at the same time until the round of 32 arrives, Griffin moves group by group through every total, line move, and side worth a look, starting with a chaotic backdrop, the United States exit after two wins and a clinched group, and Turkey finally scoring a goal at the death after two blank matches. He breaks down Norway against France, both through on six points and chasing the group win, leaning to Norway plus one behind Erling Haaland out of Manchester City while noting Kylian Mbappé under scrutiny at Real Madrid for his defensive work, a wrinkle that pushes Griffin toward the under. He covers Iraq and Senegal, both reeling on zero points, with Senegal a major disappointment behind an aging backline despite strong goalkeeping from Mendy, and he criticizes the structure that advances eight third place teams as a quick shot at FIFA. He digs into Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde, praising the Cape Verde side as tournament darlings after draws with Uruguay and a goalless result against Spain, and lays out the under two and a quarter to two and a half range. He frames Uruguay against Spain as the marquee pairing, liking Uruguay plus one and the under while watching Darwin Núñez search for form under aggressive manager Marcelo Bielsa, with a caveat that Spain can crack the game open. He leans firmly under in the Iran and Egypt pride match in Seattle, and closes the soccer card by fading a flat Belgium golden generation while liking New Zealand and the under. Then the baseball begins.

The Rays are riding the Nick Martinez wave, the Bolts have a Selke finalist, and a wild MLB injury!

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 5-1 loss vs. the Rays in the series opener down at Tropicana Field. They take your calls and texts, and discuss the offence spraying ten hits but only managing to score one run - when will the power come more consistently? They discuss the approach against Nick Martinez and the Rays bullpen, the usage of the Jays bullpen on the other side, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and what he continues to be as a hitter, and Eric Lauer's start of 4.1 IP of three earned runs allowed.   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.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined by Vancouver Canadians' Jose Mayorga (3:11) to chat about the promotion of No. 3 prospect in the Blue Jays organization Arjun Nimmala to Double-A, his development at shortstop and running the bags, how coachable he is, his advice to Arjun in playing in a league up, pitchers Johnny King and Holden Wilkerson's developments on the mound, and if he's seen a difference between the current group of players compared to previous years coming through the organization. Then, Kevin shares his experience getting promoted, playing in the minors and when we can expect Nimmala to play in the Majors. Later, former MLB pitcher and Tampa Bay Rays TV analyst Brian Anderson (28:00) stops by to discuss the differences between the 2026 team and the AL East-dominating rosters of the past, Nick Martinez's reliance on his secondary pitches this season, Bryan Baker's success in the 9th inning, and Drew Rasmussen's fastball usage.  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.

Paul Skenes lands in the dud column on today's First Cup Fantasy Baseball, while Logan Webb, Cristopher Sanchez, and Bailey Ober all earn studs recognition. Host Joe Bond runs through his Two-Start Pitchers and Weekend Planner segment to help you set your roster heading into the weekend. On the Two-Start/Weekend Planner, Cade Cavalli and Tyler Glasnow both get the start nod, while Bubba Chandler and Nick Martinez are questionable. Jack Flaherty is a sit, and Aaron Nola and Chase Dollander are streaming options. In studs and duds, Kyle Schwarber, Adley Rutschman, MJ Melendez, and Spencer Steer join Webb, Sanchez, and Ober as studs. On the dud side, Samuel Basallo, Hunter Goodman, Vinnie Pasquantino, Lance McCullers Jr., and Kevin Gausman join Skenes. On the injury and news front, Brandon Woodruff was removed with diminished velo, Tyler Soderstrom missed a second straight day, and Jeffrey Springs was removed with a hip injury but is expected to make his next start. Nick Kurtz walked for a 19th straight game, now just three away from tying the all-time record held by Roy Cullenbine in 1947. Today's FanDuel Bet of the Day is Zack Wheeler over 7 strikeouts vs. Miami at +102.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick on the Rays signing right-handed pitcher Nick Martinez to help round out their rotation and take the payroll above $80 million.

On this week's episode, we begin by discussing a notable week for the Tigers, adding Framber Valdez on a three-year, $115 million contract, bringing back future Hall of Fame Justin Verlander, and losing a historic arbitration hearing to ace Tarik Skubal.

To wrap up, we pay tribute to Mickey Lolich and Terrence Gore, and discuss the MLB Network Top Ten at each position.
