Podcast appearances and mentions of Nick Pivetta

Matt, Jordan and Isiah break down the final series of the 2025 Boston Red Sox, as they've been eliminated by their archrival New York Yankees in three games of the American League Wild Card Series. The trio doesn't spend a whole lot of time talking about the series, instead pivoting towards offseason dialogue. Just how obvious are the fixes? Would you trade Ceddanne Rafaela?Jordan also poses the question of, knowing what we know now, would Red Sox fans have been happier with Nick Pivetta returning in 2025 if it meant keeping Rafael Devers opposed to what potentially may be only one season of Alex Bregman in Boston.Finally, the group picks their World Series winners before closing out the final episode of the 2025 season.Make sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram, @ThePeskyReport. We are officially a part of Beyond The MonsterTwitter: @BeyondtheMnstrSubstack: https://beyondthemonster.substack.com/ Intro Music: DannyEBTracks https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxOQyRmgJqHji6ItvllZmYg

National League Wild Card RecapHighlights from the NL side of the Wild Card Round. The Dodgers dominate, as expected, and the Cubs survive a thrilling three game set against the Friars.San Diego Padres (90-72) @ Chicago Cubs (92-70)GM 1: Matthew Boyd (14-8 3.21 ERA 179 IP) vs. Nick Pivetta (13-5 2.87 ERA 181 IP)GM 2: Andrew Kittredge (3-5 3.40 ERA 53 IP) vs. Dylan Cease (8-12 4.55 ERA 168 IP)GM 3: Jameson Taillon (11-7 3.68 ERA 129 IP) vs. Yu Darvish (5-5 5.38 ERA 72 IP)Chicago Radio WSCR - Pat Hughes, Ron CoomerSan Diego Radio KWFN - Jesse Agler and Tony Gwynn, Jr.Cincinatti Reds (83-79) @ Los Angeles Dodgers (93-69)GM 1: Blake Snell (5-4 2.35 ERA 61 IP) vs. Hunter Greene (7-4 2.76 ERA 107 IP)GM 2: Yoshinobu Yamamoto (12-8 2.49 ERA 173 IP) vs. Zach Littell (10-8 3.81 ERA 186 IP)Los Angeles Radio AM570 - Stephen Nelson and Rick MondayCincinatti Radio WLW - Tommy Thrall and Jeff BrantleyAudio clips from MLB.tvAs always, thank you to Baseball Reference and SABR for statistics, box scores, background information, and much, much more.Catch you next time,P.C.O.

We've seen losses like that before. Nick Pivetta was sharp early, but two homers were too much for the Padres to overcome. After striking first they failed to add on, before going quiet in the back half of Game 1. Jackson Merrill bunted. His fault or a product of the environment? Stars didn't show up. How confident are we that they will on Wednesday? Did wind and shadows at Wrigley impact the Padres? Can they reverse MLB postseason history? Pressure is on Dylan Cease.

The Padres got cozy at Wrigley Monday, and Game 1 is fast approaching. Darnay and Todd look ahead to their Wild Card Series against the Cubs. Nick Pivetta has a chance to set the tone. How are we feeling about Dylan Cease in a crucial start? What did Pivetta, Mike Shildt and Manny Machado have to say? Shildt has been preparing his team for playoff baseball all season. Can the Padres overcome their struggles on the road? And how will the next three days help define the 2025 season?

San Diego Padres vs. Chicago Cubs MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Padres at Cubs 3PM ET—Nick Pivetta is starting for San Diego. Pivetta has started 31 games dealing with an ERA of 2.87 with WHIP of 0.99. The veteran fans 26.4% with 6.9% walks. Ground balls dished at 33.5% with 1.09 home runs per nine innings.

Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour talking about the latest on Padres catcher Elias Diaz who left Saturday's game due to injury, and the guys discuss whether or not he will be ready to go for the Wildcard round, who will catch for Nick Pivetta, and more. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before the guys are joined by our buddy Craig Elsten for his weekly Monday hit to discuss the Padres, SDFC, and more! Listen here!

Ben & Woods kick off the 9am hour with The Reindl Report and a few of Paulie's top stories of the day. Then the guys discuss "Etsy witches" and whether or not Woodsy should look into purchasing the services of one. And at the bottom of the hour we look ahead to tonight's game in New York against the Mets as Nick Pivetta looks to get the Padres back on track. Listen here!

Tony, Chris, and Skraby talked about the Padres win, talked to Nick Pivetta for Friar Friday, the Thursday Night Football game, a Countdown, and a lot more!

Nick Pivetta has put together a remarkable 2025 season for the San Diego Padres, posting career-best statistics in all categories, while pitching with an edge we haven't seen in a Padres uniform in a while. Acting as the team “stopper”, Pivetta has been the guy to right the ship on a constantly evolving 2025 rotation.

Chris and Skraby heard from Mike Shildt about Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts. We had Nick Pivetta on the show!

San Diego Padres vs. Colorado Rockies MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Padres at Rockies 8:40PM ET—Nick Pivetta will start for San Diego.

The Los Angeles Dodgers once again scored only one run, once again on an Alex Freeland solo home run. Tyler Glasnow struggled with his command and four Padres walks came around to score, but without any offense, the Dodgers weren't going to win this game. LA now finds itself in the position of needing a win on Sunday to salvage one game in the series and pull back into a tie with San Diego, but they'll have their work cut out for them with Padres ace Nick Pivetta on the mound. Jeff Snider and Kevin Skinner are here to talk about another dumb, ugly loss for the Dodgers. Tube in all season long! Leave a voicemail or text the Friend of the Show hotline!

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner preview MLB Tuesday betting schedule is packed with sharp betting opportunities and valuable matchups for bettors seeking an edge. This expert MLB betting analysis breaks down key games, highlighting top MLB moneyline picks, underdog plays, and totals worth considering. We begin north of the border with the Blue Jays hosting the Yankees on Canada Day. Despite Kevin Gausman's recent struggles versus New York, the Jays offer home underdog value. Max Fried has been in elite form, but Griffin Warner leans Toronto while Munaf Manji prefers the under. In Philadelphia, Nick Pivetta takes the mound for the Padres against Christopher Sanchez and the Phillies. Pivetta's elite stuff and the Padres' superior bullpen provide value, leading both hosts to side with the under and the Padres. Paul Skenes Day in Pittsburgh raises red flags as he's lost four straight to the Cardinals despite quality outings. Both experts prefer St. Louis plus money and favor the under, citing the Pirates' inconsistency and the Cardinals' strong bullpen. In Miami, Joe Ryan's dominance makes the Twins a solid first five play against the streaking Marlins. Edward Cabrera's walk issues and a volatile Twins bullpen push Munaf to target early betting value and the under. The Tigers and Nationals offer one of the day's best over spots. With Jack Flaherty and Trevor Williams both unreliable and Detroit trending 12-1 to the over in road series openers, both hosts lock in on the over 9.5. In Tampa, the surging Rays send Shane Baz against Jeffrey Springs and the A's. Tampa's hot June offense and Baz's recent dominance make them a clear moneyline and team total over pick. The Brewers are Griffin's top play as Freddy Peralta faces Clay Holmes and the sliding Mets. Milwaukee is red hot, while New York struggles late in games. Munaf highlights Peralta's spotless record vs. the Mets and backs the plus money. In Boston, the Reds look to rebound after a wild series opener. With Richard Fitz struggling, Griffin and Munaf support the Reds moneyline and game over. The Angels and Braves offer another over candidate with Tyler Anderson and Grant Holmes on the mound in a hitter-friendly park. Atlanta's power and Anderson's road overs make this a strong target for runs. In Arlington, Jacob deGrom's excellence anchors a Rangers first five run line play against Baltimore's shaky Brandon Young. With a low park run profile, the full game under also draws interest. The Cubs host a reeling Guardians squad that can't hit lefties, making Matthew Boyd and the under strong leans. Griffin notes Cleveland's ugly error stats and poor bullpen. The Astros visit the Rockies in Coors Field with Houston sending a lefty against a team that's 1-13 at home vs. LHP. Over 11 and Astros run line stand out. In Arizona, the Giants are a live dog with Hayden Birdsong facing the struggling Zac Gallen. With the D-backs' bullpen decimated, Munaf leans Giants team total over and game over. Seattle's pitcher-friendly environment makes Royals-Mariners a tough call, but under 8 has value despite weak starters Lorenzen and Hancock. Finally, the Dodgers host the White Sox in a mismatch. Yoshinobu Yamamoto's recent dip doesn't deter confidence, and Dodgers team total over is the clearest angle. Griffin and Munaf close with best bets: Griffin on the Brewers ML and Reds ML, Munaf on Tigers/Nats Over and Rangers first five run line. Together they offer sharp insights and valuable MLB betting predictions for Tuesday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Yoshinobu Yamamoto's recent dip doesn't deter confidence, and Dodgers team total over is the clearest angle. Griffin and Munaf close with best bets: Griffin on the Brewers ML and Reds ML, Munaf on Tigers/Nats Over and Rangers first five run line. Together they offer sharp insights and valuable MLB betting predictions for Tuesday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets. The MLB Gambling Podcast's latest episode hosted by Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner delivers a detailed Tuesday betting preview based purely on pitching matchups, team trends, and recent performance statistics. Munaf and Griffin open the show with excitement following a strong 2-0 performance in their previous picks and aim to extend their hot streak. They begin by analyzing the AL Central battle between the Twins and Guardians, with a cautious lean toward the under 8 runs given Chris Paddack's improved recent starts and Tanner Bibee's historical success against the Twins. They then move to the Yankees vs Orioles matchup, noting vulnerabilities with Carlos Rodón's road performances and Kyle Gibson's questionable season debut, leading to a preference for betting the over 9.5 runs. Griffin stresses the decline of Cleveland's Emmanuel Clase as closer and the potential rise of Cade Smith. Munaf continues by previewing Cardinals vs Reds, highlighting Myles Mikolas' dreadful history against Cincinnati, pushing both hosts to recommend overs for both the first five innings and full game totals. The discussion moves to Nationals vs Phillies, where Mackenzie Gore's dominance over Philadelphia's lefty-heavy lineup is emphasized, making a strong case for a first five innings under. In Royals vs Rays, Michael Lorenzen's overachieving start and Todd Bradley's homerun struggles lead the team to back the Royals as live road underdogs. When analyzing the Red Sox vs Blue Jays game, Griffin points out the absurd 110-pitch outing by Garrett Crochet and supports the Blue Jays as a home underdog while favoring the under 7.5 total. Attention then shifts to Diamondbacks vs Mets, where Arizona's bullpen injuries cause concern and Munaf and Griffin favor the Mets at -136 along with a lean toward the game going over 8.5 runs. Freddy Peralta's inability to pitch deep into games and the uncertainty surrounding Bryce Wilson's starting role lead to a mixed, cautious view on Brewers vs White Sox betting opportunities. Reese Olson's excellent performances and Ryan Gusto's surprisingly solid outings prompt a lean toward the under 7.5 in the Tigers vs Astros matchup. In Braves vs Rockies, the duo highlights Herman Marquez's recent collapse and backs the Braves confidently on the run line, with a side of team total overs. Padres vs Giants analysis reveals preference for the Padres as slight home underdogs behind Nick Pivetta's hot streak, despite Logan Webb's steadiness. An under 7 is preferred in this pitcher's duel. The final game between Mariners and Angels leads to a discussion about Bryce Miller's control issues but favorable pitching environment in Seattle's T-Mobile Park, leading both hosts to lean toward under 8 runs. The show wraps up with brief comments about Sandy Alcantara possibly auditioning against the Dodgers for a future trade and a reminder of ERA10 promo code benefits for listeners. Griffin's best bet locks in on the Mets moneyline while Munaf targets the Yankees and Orioles game to go over 9.5 runs. Throughout the episode, Munaf and Griffin emphasize bullpen health, pitcher-specific matchup trends, weather conditions, and momentum as the critical factors influencing Tuesday's betting edges.
