Podcast appearances and mentions of Nick Pivetta

Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) take a look at some first-half-keeper-league All Stars (largely based on value gained compared to their ADP) after a spirited conversation about their Head-to-Head Heroes from last week.5:00 - Chad picks George Springer as his Head-to-Head Hero. Pete goes with Jasson Domínguez and Michael Busch in a two-way tie.16:30 - Conversation about our keeper league All Stars begins with Emmet Sheehan, oddly enough.23:02 - Kris Bubic and Andrew Abbott are looking like probable keepers for 2026 and make the Keeper League All Star Team.29:00 - Chad likes what Ryne Nelson is cooking up this season. Pete is worried about the fastball usage.33:52 - Casey Mize has a 2.63 ERA through 15 starts. Is this a breakout and slam dunk keeper, or is he a first-half fluke.35:34 - Grant Holmes and Edward Cabrera look really good! Cabrera's success is long overdue for Pete!41:45 - Both hosts are excited about the idea of keeping Hunter Goodman and Andy Pages for 2026 at this point. 46:38 - Eugenio Suárez, Christian Yelich, Sonny Gray, and Merrill Kelly are having solid seasons, but are their seasons so good that managers should consider keeping them?49:31 - Jhoan Duran could be a potential keeper based on his numbers so far, potentially in roto leagues, at least.50:28 - Nick Pivetta should make the keeper league All Star team, the homers are down!51:25 - Will Vest and Emilio Pagán generate a short conversation about how to approach closer keepers.53:39 - Cristopher Sánchez is looking like a slam dunk keeper given his 2025 cost.55:08 - Nathan Eovaldi is good when he pitches, but is probably not a keeper 2026. 55:53 - Byron Buxton once again gets talked about on Keep or Kut.57:23 - Carlos Rodón and Robbie Ray are pitching like aces, but their costs were more pricey than most of the players we had discussed to this point. Does it look like they will still be worth keeping for 2026, despite that cost?59:38 - Bryan Woo is most likely going to be a keeper in a lot of leagues.1:01:03 - Joe Ryan and Pete Crow-Armstrong end the show. Pete and Chad discuss if they will have a lot of shares of PCA in 2026 or not.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | TuneIn | Google Podcasts | RSSConnect: Twitter | keeporkut@gmail.com | Join PL+Get PL+ and join our Discord: https://pitcherlist.com/plus Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network

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

Tony, Chris, and Skraby broke down tonight's matchup between Nick Pivetta and Logan Webb. Plus, they had a Chris' Fantabulous Sports Game Show and a Sports Court!

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.
