Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off today's show with a recap of the Spurs' 115-111 victory in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. They break down Victor Wembanyama's improved play last night, the Knicks' struggles down the stretch, and De'Aaron Fox's big shot late. Next, the guys pivot to discuss Peter Laviolette becoming the next head coach of the LA Kings. They question why the Maple Leafs missed out, if it's an indictment of Toronto's process and how long it is all taking, and the remaining options for the vacancy. Ben and Brent also take a closer look at Dylan Larkin's trade request, before getting into the Blue Jays' series-opening loss to the Phillies. They examine Cristopher Sanchez and Patrick Corbin's respective starts, George Springer's rough night at the plate, and if it's time to consider dropping him down the batting order. The guys close out the hour by looking at the longest day in golf as qualifiers for the US Open wrapped up.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning are joined by Michael Grange, Sportsnet NBA reporter, to break down Game 3 of the NBA Finals! They discuss the level of concern in New York, Victor Wembanyama's performance, the free throw differential, and where the Knicks can improve heading into Game 4. The guys also chat about the Raptors extending GM Bobby Webster and what it means for this upcoming off-season in Toronto. After the break, Sportsnet's Shi Davidi shares his view on the Blue Jays' 5-2 loss to the Phillies last night. He questions if we reached the end of the line with Patrick Corbin's time in the rotation, what's behind George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s struggles at the plate, and who will be the odd man out once Alejandro Kirk is ready to rejoin the team.

Blue Jays fell behind early and never fully recovered in a 5-2 loss to the Phillies, dropping to 32-35 on the season. On episode 11 of Flight Deck, Nick Alberga breaks down a rough outing from Patrick Corbin, who allowed five runs in three innings as Philadelphia jumped out to an early lead. We discuss the Blue Jays' inability to capitalize against Cristopher Sánchez and why the bullpen once again deserves credit for keeping Toronto within striking distance. The bigger conversation, centers around Vladimir Guerrero Jr. After another hitless performance, we examine his recent struggles and ask the question every Blue Jays fan is wondering: when will the star first baseman break out of this slump? Next, Dylan Cease returns from the injured list to face Phillies ace Zack Wheeler in what feels like a must-win game for Toronto. We also discuss the roster decisions looming with Max Scherzer expected back soon and what Adam Macko's demotion means after an impressive stint in the majors. Can Cease provide a spark? Can the Blue Jays finally get some run support? And can Vlad turn things around before the Yankees come to town? We close with Nick's picks presented by bet365.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji hosts a solo edition of Cash That Ticket on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, working through a loaded sports night that includes Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals and a six-game MLB Wednesday slate packed with elite starting pitching matchups. Co-host Dave Essler sent in detailed pregame notes that Munaf reads and builds upon throughout the episode, producing a collaborative breakdown even without Dave in the booth. The show opens with a recap of Tuesday, where the under in the first five innings of the Brewers and Giants game cashed behind Kyle Harrison's career-high 12-strikeout performance for Milwaukee, though the Cubs team total over did not survive Chicago's one-run first inning and subsequent silence. The show stands three and one on best bets for the month of June. On the NBA Finals, Munaf discusses tonight's Game 1 in San Antonio with the Spurs as four-and-a-half point home favorites over the Knicks at a total of 218.5. Rather than chasing the historical Game 1 under trend, he prefers the second half over around 105.5, reasoning that first-game rust and jitters will suppress scoring early before both teams open up. The Knicks arrive with eight days of rest following their sweep of Cleveland while the Spurs are three days removed from a Game 7 win over Oklahoma City that was aided by the injury absences of Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell. Munaf singles out OG Anunoby as his Game 1 player prop, taking him over 15.5 points at minus 115 on DraftKings, and identifies Dylan Harper as the Spurs' most critical secondary contributor beyond Victor Wembanyama. Stephon Castle's ability to contain Jalen Brunson and Landry Shamet's timely three-point shooting off the Knicks bench are highlighted as key series variables to watch. On the MLB side, the episode covers six matchups in detail. In Philadelphia, Christopher Sanchez continues his Cy Young-caliber run against Walker Buehler and the Padres, with both Munaf and Dave aligning on the first five innings under and the Phillies run line. At Fenway, Chris Bassett's brutal road splits, including an 8.02 ERA in five away starts, make the Red Sox team total over in the first five innings an attractive play at minus 110 on DraftKings. In New York, Gerrit Cole's third start back from Tommy John surgery against Gavin Williams and the Guardians produces Munaf's official best bet of the night, the Yankees first five innings run line at minus half a run, plus 115 on Bet Online, backed by Cole's 13-3 career record against Cleveland and his flawless return. In Cincinnati, Chase Burns at 7-1 with a 1.96 ERA takes on Stephen Kolek and the Royals, with Munaf structuring a synthetic minus-one play by splitting units across the moneyline and run line. In Atlanta, the Braves run line against Patrick Corbin and the Blue Jays is the clear lean given Atlanta's consistent dominance against left-handed pitching and their habit of winning at home by multiple runs. The episode closes with the Pirates and Astros game featuring Paul Skenes against Spencer Arrighetti, which both Munaf and Dave agree is the best pitching matchup on the slate and produces Uncle Dave's official best bet, the first five innings under four.

Then, ESPN insider and host of Sources Tell, Jeff Passan (30:48), joins the guys to discuss the defensive value of a first baseman, if the Seattle Mariners are the second best team in the Majors, which direction the Blue Jays should turn near the trade deadline with their current performance through May and early June, and if the team will look into the hitting over the pitching market.  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.

The Blue Jays opened their series against the National League leading Atlanta Braves with a frustrating 4-3 loss that perfectly summed up their season so far: painfully average. On season one, episode 6 of Flight Deck, Cody Gaudreault breaks down Kevin Gausman's outing after the veteran allowed four runs over six innings.We discuss the costly early deficit, the Blue Jays' inability to capitalize offensively, and why Toronto continues to struggle to find timely production throughout the lineup. Looking ahead, we preview Game 62's pitching matchup between Patrick Corbin and Grant Holmes. Can Corbin continue his surprising run of solid starts and help save the Blue Jays' bullpen ahead of a scheduled bullpen game? Or will the Braves' star-studded lineup continue to punish Toronto pitching? Cody also break down the lineup changes, discuss what's gone wrong for some of Toronto's colder bats, and gives you his key to victory for tonight's game!

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 Thursday. Griffin Warner — Real_G Warner — is back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a tight, focused episode of the What I Bet Podcast, courtesy of the Pregame.com Podcast Network, breaking down the full Major League Baseball slate for Thursday, May 28, 2026. With the Vegas Golden Knights having swept the Colorado Avalanche and hockey winding down for the postseason's next round, Thursday belongs to baseball, and Griffin walks through every game on the card with the analytical directness his audience expects. The episode covers six MLB matchups, opening with the getaway day game in Detroit where Grayson Rodriguez takes the hill for the Los Angeles Angels against Jack Flaherty and a Tigers team that, in Griffin's view, is paying a significant salary for one of the worst-performing starters in the American League. Griffin makes the case for the Angels at plus-113 and leans toward the over at plus-105 on a nine-run total before the number potentially tightens. In Chicago, Kendry Rojas starts for Minnesota against Davis Martin and a White Sox team that has been genuinely better than the industry expected this season, with Griffin giving Chicago its proper credit and acknowledging that the minus-138 price reflects real performance. The afternoon game at Fenway Park brings Chris Sale back to Boston for the Atlanta Braves, squaring off against young Red Sox lefty Payton Tolle. Griffin likes what he has seen from Tolle but is unwilling to play the under at seven and a half minus-130 at Fenway, noting that Boston's home park is simply not the right environment for that construction, and leaving the Red Sox money line as the only possible play in the game, if anything. In Baltimore, Patrick Corbin and Chris Bassitt meet in a matchup Griffin describes as two veterans fighting to justify their roster spots, and he takes the Blue Jays at plus-116, pointing to Corbin's underappreciated resurgence and his skepticism of the Orioles as a roster-construction project. The Cubs visit Pittsburgh for the series finale against Paul Skenes, and while Griffin respects the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner as the best pitcher in baseball, the plus-149 number on Chicago is interesting enough to note alongside what he identifies as the stronger analytical play, the under seven and a half. Late in Arlington, Spencer Arrighetti takes a plus-135 number on the road for Houston against Nathan Eovaldi and the Rangers, and Griffin lands on the under seven and a half as a split play across the first five innings and the full game to manage variance in a park that consistently suppresses scoring. The episode closes with Griffin's What I Bet Best Bet: Cubs versus Pirates, under seven and a half, with Skenes on the mound and two offenses unlikely to generate the kind of volume needed to push past that total. Before signing off, Griffin details the Pregame.com promo code GRIFFIN50, which gets subscribers fifty dollars off his All Access All-Star Break package, delivering 49 days of picks across every sport, including the World Cup and the full MLB slate, for two hundred forty-nine dollars.

Sho Alli and Kaitlyn McGrath break down the Blue Jays' 5-2 win vs. the Pirates to secure a series win in Toronto! They take your calls and texts, and get right to Patrick Corbin, who notched seven strikeouts and allowed only one run over six innings of work - how did he outduel Paul Skenes, and was that his best outing as a Blue Jay? They get into the offence, including Jesús Sánchez knocking home an RBI double off Skenes, George Springer and Tyler Heineman both blasting no-doubt home runs, and Yohendrick Piñango continuing to impress. Plus, they discuss the bullpen, which had both a shaky outing from Yariel Rodríguez and a dominant one from Jeff Hoffman.   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.

Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss the Mariners calling up Colt Emerson, whether Patrick Corbin and Spencer Miles can keep the Blue Jays' rotation afloat, the state of the Dodgers' rotation with Blake Snell on the IL and the team acquiring Eric Lauer from Toronto, if the Mets can crawl back into contention despite the injuries to Francisco Alvarez and Clay Holmes, and Jose Altuve's oblique strain and the Astros overall struggles.Listener email topics include who the biggest positive surprises have been so far this year, and if the Dodgers could leverage their glut of outfield prospects at the trade deadline.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 7-6 loss vs. the Yankees to open the four-game series in New York.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back for a loaded Monday edition of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, and the Western Conference Finals take center stage right from the jump as these two dig deep into Game 1 between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at Paycom Center. The series odds on DraftKings have the Thunder as minus-260 favorites and the Spurs sitting at plus-210, but both guys make a compelling case for San Antonio, pointing to a 4-and-1 regular season record against OKC, consistent spread coverage across a wide range of lines, and a style of play that gives the Spurs a real chance to compete against the defending champions. Munaf officially takes the Spurs at plus-220 for the series on FanDuel and likes them plus six and a half for Game 1 as well, arguing that Oklahoma City's price is built on public perception rather than a genuine gap between these two rosters, and that the defensive attention funneled toward Victor Wembanyama will open the floor for Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, and De'Aaron Fox in exactly the ways that have made this Spurs team so dangerous all season. Dave agrees the spread is inflated, spots the number as high as seven on FanDuel, and leans to San Antonio plus the points while also backing the under despite a market that has pushed the total north of 221 at multiple books. The total discussion is sharp, with both guys citing under trends in game ones for both franchises and pointing out that OKC's big offensive outputs this postseason came against Phoenix and the Lakers, neither of which remotely resembles what San Antonio brings defensively. On the prop side Dave goes with Ajay Mitchell over 13 points at minus-123 on DraftKings, making the case that Mitchell has scored fewer than 14 points only once in eight postseason games and is the kind of off-brand value that separates sharp bettors from the crowd, while Munaf tracks Stephon Castle at 17 and a half given Castle's history of scoring 32, 22, 24, 19, and 20 against OKC this season. The baseball card gets the same thorough treatment across five games: the Reds-Phillies over is the consensus call with Nick Lodolo struggling badly since returning from injury and Andrew Painter's numbers even weaker than his reputation, the Orioles-Rays matchup generates a yellow flag despite Shane McClanahan's exceptional form because the line movement tells an interesting story, the Blue Jays-Yankees game produces a first-five over recommendation at four and a half with both Patrick Corbin's regression metrics and Ryan Weathers' fly-ball tendencies pointing toward early scoring, and the Dodgers-Padres game is where both guys get loudest, taking San Diego at plus-128 because Yoshinobu Yamamoto has allowed at least three earned runs in four straight starts and Michael King has been one of the better starters in the NL over the same stretch. Dave wraps up with a smart segment on weather handicapping that every baseball bettor should hear, breaking down exactly how to factor wind, temperature, humidity, and air pressure without blindly chasing overs every time conditions look favorable. Best bets to close: Dave takes the Padres run line at minus-130, Munaf fires on the Braves-Marlins under at eight and a half backing Max Meyer's breakout campaign against rookie J.R. Ritchie making his first appearance against Miami. Use promo code RISE10 at pregame.com for ten dollars off any purchase including rest-of-May all-access through May 31st.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for the May 1 edition of Cash That Ticket, and the slate is as loaded as any Friday of the playoffs. The show opens with a full Thursday night recap after Minnesota eliminated Denver in six games, with Jaden McDaniels going for a career-high 32 points and 10 rebounds while Terrence Shannon Jr. added 24 in a starting role forced by a three-guard injury pile that left the Timberwolves shorthanded going into the clincher. Jamal Murray shot 4-of-17, finished with 12 points and four assists, and the Nuggets are done. Minnesota advances to face San Antonio on Monday. The Knicks destroyed Atlanta 140-89 on a night where the Hawks never threatened, and Philadelphia beat Boston to force a Saturday Game 7 in the Eastern Conference. Then the guys get into tonight's three elimination games and that is where the real work begins. In Orlando, the Magic are catching four points at home against Detroit in a game where Franz Wagner is out and the Pistons are laying points for the first time in the series on the road in a must-win spot for the home team. Dave likes the Magic plus four and the under at 210. Munaf builds a detailed case for Desmond Bane over 2.5 three-pointers made at plus-117 on DraftKings, citing three consecutive games with three-plus threes, five-plus threes in both Orlando home games, 8.83 attempts per game from deep, and 35-plus minutes of run with Wagner sidelined. In Toronto, Cleveland has never won on the road in this series and the Raptors outplayed the Cavaliers in every stat but three-point shooting in Game 5, losing by five while outrebounding Cleveland by 13 and posting 32 assists to Cleveland's 20. Brandon Ingram moves to doubtful mid-show and the line shifts a full point across every book, but both Dave and Munaf had already made their call on Toronto at plus points before the downgrade was official. In Houston, the Rockets try to force a Game 7 without Kevin Durant, who is out again with a bone bruise in his ankle. LeBron James is 41 and playing six games in thirteen days on the road. Austin Reeves is back but has become a defensive liability. Reed Sheppard had his coming-out moments in Game 5. Amen Thompson is playing like a seasoned postseason veteran. Dave and Munaf both land on Houston to cover and the under at 205.5, noting that three of five games in this series have finished at 205 or below. The MLB card gets a full breakdown too, with Dave delivering his best bet of the year candidate in the Red Sox team total over 4.5 runs against Mike Burrows and the porous Astros bullpen at Fenway Park. Munaf adds the Royals at Mariners under with Cole Ragans and Bryan Woo on the mound as his cleaner baseball play. There is also discussion of the Dodgers at St. Louis under, the Twins team total against Patrick Corbin, the White Sox run line against San Diego, and whether Shane McClanahan at minus-150 is worth it against San Francisco. All this plus the Pregame.com promo code HIT20 for twenty dollars off a thirty-day MLB all-access package at one hundred and nineteen dollars, and a Monday preview that will bring the official April best bets recap, second-round series previews, and the full Timberwolves versus Spurs Game 1 breakdown.
