An eventful week of Brewers baseball included a 4-3 record, including a thrilling debut for top prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who worked five no-hit innings in a 6-0 win. His arrival also meant an abrupt departure for Aaron Civale, traded to the White Sox after expressing dissatisfaction with his move to the bullpen. Plus: The Brewers may have just been right about Quinn Priester. The confusing nature of Freddy Peralta. The continued struggles of Joey Ortiz. An offense that still needs a spark. In Three Up Three Down (47:00), there's some tension in a battle with the Cardinals, Sal Frelick's screamer and Abner Uribe continues to shine. In Remembrew When (1:03:30), a look back to the 1980s and perhaps the buzziest pitching debut in franchise history. Curt Blanche (1:08:00) tackles a popular food item. Then, JR sits down with Jacob Misiorowski himself (1:15:15), talking his memories growing up watching the Royals, Miz the wrestler, the Futures Game, draft night and how he tops that first outing.

On June 4, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers dominated the Cincinnati Reds with a 9-1 victory at Great American Ball Park, securing their 12th consecutive series win against the Reds. The game, which decided the three-game series, showcased Milwaukee's offensive firepower and pitching depth, while Cincinnati struggled to find rhythm against a relentless Brewers squad. The Brewers struck early and often, with their bats erupting against Reds starter Andrew Abbott, who had been stellar in May with a 0.55 ERA. Abbott, however, faltered, allowing a season-high five runs. In the third inning, Brice Turang doubled and scored on Andruw Monasterio's single, giving Milwaukee a 1-0 lead. The fifth inning saw Jackson Chourio's two-run homer, his 10th of the season, pushing the score to 3-0. Daz Cameron added a two-run shot in the sixth, his first homer since July 2024, further widening the gap. The Brewers capped their offensive onslaught in the ninth with Isaac Collins' three-run homer off Wade Miley, sealing the 9-1 rout. Milwaukee's pitching was equally impressive. DL Hall opened, tossing three innings and allowing just one hit, notably escaping a bases-loaded jam in the third by inducing a lineout and groundout. Quinn Priester earned the win, allowing one run over five innings. The Brewers' staff stifled Cincinnati's offense, which managed only one run despite loading the bases early, highlighting their inability to capitalize on opportunities. For the Reds, the loss underscored ongoing struggles against their NL Central rivals. Cincinnati's lone run came late, but their offense fizzled after the third, continuing a trend of failing to score consistently against Milwaukee. The Reds' defense and baserunning also faltered, with miscues like a strikeout-throwout double play involving catcher Jose Trevino, as noted in posts on X. Fans expressed frustration, with one X user lamenting the Reds' predictable offensive woes. This game solidified Milwaukee's dominance over Cincinnati, with a 42-16 record in their last 58 meetings. The Brewers' balanced attack—combining timely hitting, power, and solid pitching—overwhelmed a Reds team fighting for NL Wild Card contention. As Milwaukee looks ahead to a series against the Padres, the Reds, now without Hunter Greene due to injury, face an uphill battle to regroup against the Diamondbacks.
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Brewers at Reds 12:40PM ET—Quinn Priester gets the start for Milwaukee. Priester appeared in ten games this season, dealing with an ERA of 4.09 with WHIP of 1.34. The right hander strikes out 14.9% with 10.75 walks. Grounders are 58% with 1.07 home runs per nine innings.
The Milwaukee Brewers came into the week having not swept any series this year, and now they've swept them back-to-back. Including two walk-off wins, an eight-run inning, a series of strong individual hitting performances, Milwaukee took down Boston at home and then cleaned up against the best team in the National League, Philadelphia. Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe discuss how real it is, the somewhat concerning injury to Christian Yelich, the decision to cut ties with Tyler Alexander, the back-to-back rough starts from Freddy Peralta, the excellence of Rhys Hoskins and the ascendance of Caleb Durbin. In Three Up Three Down (25:00), they discuss big Sal Frelick moments, Chad Patrick and Quinn Priester and the walk-off grand slam by Yelich. Remembrew When looks back at another memorable walk-off granny (40:10) against Boston and Todd's Take of the Week looks at the big homestand ahead (46:15). Then, JR sits down with Brewers reliever Abner Uribe (49:30), discussing his origins with the Brewers, his celebrations and more. That's followed by a conversation with USA TODAY sports columnist Bob Nightengale (55:15) to discuss the viability of Brewers owner Mark Attansio as a candidate for baseball commissioner, looming labor strife in the league and how the Brewers are regarded nationally.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Brewers at Phillies 6:45PM ET—Quinn Priester is starting for Milwaukee.

Ground balls come in at 54.8% with 1.01 home runs per nine innings.
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Brewers at Pirates 4PM ET—Quinn Priester gets the start for Milwaukee.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets. he MLB Tuesday Preview & Best Bets podcast hosted by Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner delivers a game-by-game analysis of the 13 MLB matchups scheduled for Tuesday. The show opens with some light NBA draft lottery banter, but the bulk of the discussion is tightly focused on baseball betting strategies, player performance, and team trends, all based on currently available betting lines. In the Brewers versus Guardians game, both hosts express doubts over Quinn Priester's reliability as the Brewers have lost four straight games he's started, providing him minimal run support. Logan Allen's control issues are acknowledged, but the Guardians are still preferred as a slight home favorite. The Twins against the Orioles matchup sees both hosts backing the Twins, riding their eight-game win streak and taking advantage of Kade Povich's continued struggles, especially at home. Munaf suggests taking the Twins team total over due to their potent offense. For the White Sox and Reds, Griffin leans toward the Reds' offense prevailing, noting the White Sox's dreadful 3-17 road record. Abbott's limited innings aren't seen as problematic due to the White Sox's overall weaknesses. In the Cardinals and Phillies clash, Sonny Gray's consistency and St. Louis' bullpen strength make them an appealing underdog, with both hosts preferring an under if the total reaches eight. The Rays versus Blue Jays game highlights the collapse of Tampa Bay's pitching, with Shane Boz's recent blowups making the Blue Jays the favored side, especially with Jose Berrios pitching steadily at home. In the Pirates versus Mets game, both see little hope for the Pirates despite a recent managerial change, with Munaf favoring the Mets run line and team total over, given Kodai Senga's strong stats. For Nationals versus Braves, the consensus is Braves team total over, citing Soroka's vulnerability and the Braves' offensive firepower, though bullpen concerns persist. The Marlins against Cubs matchup leans strongly toward the Cubs, with their superior offense and Ben Brown's solid form giving them a significant edge. The Rockies versus Rangers game reflects both hosts' disdain for the Rockies' 2-17 road record, suggesting Rangers -1.5 and under 8.5 as the play, with the Arlington ballpark playing pitcher-friendly. Royals versus Astros is a more cautious game, with both acknowledging Michael Wacha's solid form and Framber Valdez's unpredictability when a favorite, but Munaf leans Astros at -140. The Angels versus Padres game is flagged as a potential upset, with Dylan Cease expected to regress after his long no-hit bid. Both hosts side with the Angels due to the risky price on the Padres. In the Yankees versus Mariners showdown, Griffin emphasizes Brian Wu's 11-1 home record and favors Mariners as a home underdog while also suggesting the under, citing the ballpark's suppression of runs. Finally, the Diamondbacks versus Giants game is strongly supported by both as a Giants money line play, highlighting Robbie Ray's perfect 8-0 start record for the Giants. Brentt Fott's last strong outing against the Dodgers is considered unsustainable in the pitcher-friendly Oracle Park, especially given the Giants' ability to win division games at home. Best bets for the day are Griffin's pick of Guardians ML at -120 and Munaf's pick of Giants ML at -105. The overall tone reflects skepticism toward big favorites, leaning instead on undervalued home underdogs and carefully selected unders in specific matchups, especially where bullpen and venue factors suppress offense.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cleveland Guardians MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Brewers at Guardians 6PM ET—Quinn Priester will start for Milwaukee. Priester appeared in six games this season with an ERA of 5.08 with WHIP of 1.66. The right hander fans 15.3% with 14.5% walks. Ground balls dealt at 57.8% with 0.95 home runs per nine innings. Logan Allen is starting for Cleveland. Allen made seven starts with an ERA of 4.33 and WHIP of 1.67. The left hander strikes out 15.4% with 11.7% walks.

The Brewers offense continues to struggle badly through another 3-3 week, but the rotation suddenly has more options than spots. Host JR Radcliffe is joined by special guest Dominic Cotroneo of WTMJ 620 to talk about the playing-through-injury status of William Contreras (and his long-term future in Milwaukee), the roster decisions involving Tobias Myers and Vinny Capra and the curiosity of Chad Patrick. Brandon Woodrufff should be back next week, and Aaron Civale is on the mend. And what about Jacob Misiorowski? Did the Quinn Priester trade get even worse this week? In Three Up Three Down (28:30), they discuss obstruction plays, the struggling bottom-third of the lineup and doubling up the fastest man in baseball. Remembrew When (44:00) looks back at another Mother's Day moment, and Dominic's Take of the Week (47:45) examines something the Brewers did Sunday that they hadn't done all year. Then, JR sits down with Brewers reliever Grant Anderson (52:30) on converting from catcher and the reluctant decision to start throwing from a funky angle. They also chat about his twin brother and their passion for hunting. Music intro from bensound.com.

The guys recap a .500 homestand, whether the Brewers' frequent blowout losses should be cause for concern, mixed signs from Quinn Priester's first six outings, and more.
Houston Astros vs. Milwaukee Brewers MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Astros at Brewers 1PM ET—Framber Valdez will start for Houston. Valdez has seven starts this season carrying an ERA of 4.39 with WHIP of 1.27. The left hander strikes out 21.6% with 8.8% walks. Ground balls come in at 52.2% with 0.88 home runs per nine innings.

Ground balls sit at 56.8% with 1.16 home runs per nine innings.
The Brewers went 3-3 vs. the two Chicago teams but looked like they misplaced their edge, as manager Pat Murphy put it. The Cubs, right now, are clearly the better team; how can the Brewers narrow the gap? Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe break it all down. Another great showing from Freddy Peralta, a litany of starting pitchers on the road to return, very rough showings from Tobias Myers and Quinn Priester and a demotion after a blowup outing for reliever Craig Yoho. Can the offensive struggles simply be alleviated by Christian Yelich and William Contreras turning a corner? What's up with Trevor Megill? In Three Up Three Down (43:30), Tyrese Haliburton is mad about a first pitch, Megill celebrates a great catch with an even better dance and the Shane Smith Revenge Game goes Milwaukee's way. In Remembrew When (1:02:15), it's May Day with a father/son twist and in Curt Blanche (1:07:30), something is missing from the AmFam experience. Then, JR is joined by Daz Cameron (1:17:15), who had a nice day Sunday. They talk of course about his former Brewers father, the 2008 season, a home run on his father's jersey retirement day, getting traded for Justin Verlander and his fresh start with the Brewers.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner get you set for this weekends MLB betting. We kick things off with the Friday games and offer up best bets. On the May 2 episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview MLB Podcast, hosts Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner deliver sharp, stats-backed insights across the full Friday MLB slate. With Griffin riding a six-podcast win streak and Munaf at a 7–3 record on the season, both bring analytical edge to betting lines, pitching matchups, and team trends. They begin with Nationals vs. Reds, with Griffin skeptical of Cincinnati's high price (-161) and backing underdog Mitchell Parker (+146) despite his weak fielding. Munaf notes the Nationals have won four of his five starts. Next is Padres at Pirates. Cease hasn't pitched six innings since early April, and Keller's inconsistency leads both hosts to favor the Pirates at +142. Diamondbacks vs. Phillies features Jesus Luzardo (1.73 ERA) facing Merrill Kelly. Due to Arizona's bullpen injuries and Philly's undervalued pitching, Griffin names Phillies -142 his best bet. In Royals vs. Orioles, Wacha faces off against Kremer, who's allowed 5 ER in his last two starts. Still, doubts about Kansas City's offense tip the scale toward Baltimore. Yankees (-235) host the Rays with Max Fried on the mound. Fried boasts a career 0.42 ERA vs. Tampa. The hosts avoid fading him. Guardians visit the Blue Jays, where Chris Bassitt has allowed only 1 ER in 11 home innings. Logan Allen struggled defensively last game. Munaf leans Jays in the first five. Twins vs. Red Sox offers value on Boston at -103. Griffin questions Joe Ryan's volatility and trusts Bello's recent support. For A's-Marlins, the A's are road favorites behind debuting Gunnar Hoglund. Griffin calls this mispriced, siding with Miami (+123). Dodgers and Yamamoto face Braves, with Yamamoto holding a 1.06 ERA. Despite a steep -172 price, Munaf backs L.A., while Griffin questions Braves' rare underdog status. In Astros vs. White Sox, Framber Valdez faces Jonathan Cannon. Given inconsistent Astros bats and Cannon's walk rate, Munaf avoids the -235 price. Griffin leans under. Mariners at Rangers features Brian Wu vs. Jack Leiter. With Texas 15-2 to the under at home, Munaf's best bet is under 8.5. Griffin leans Rangers as a home dog. Cubs vs. Brewers sees Ben Brown against Quinn Priester. Despite Brown's strikeout potential, Griffin and Munaf both back the Brewers at plus money due to home-field motivation. For Mets vs. Cardinals, Clay Holmes faces Sonny Gray, who has dominated at home. Munaf backs the Cardinals citing Gray's form. In Tigers vs. Angels, Skubal dominates and Trout's IL status hurts L.A. Munaf recommends Tigers via moneyline or run line. Lastly, Giants host Rockies with Robbie Ray on the mound. Ray's teams are 6-0 in his starts, but Griffin finds -280 too steep and suggests a Rockies run line. Munaf agrees on targeting Giants team total. Griffin's best bet: Phillies -142. Munaf's: Mariners vs. Rangers under 8.5. The show closes encouraging listeners to shop lines, list pitchers, and monitor late moves, all key in chasing sharp MLB edges.

Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Cubs at Brewers 8:10PM ET—Ben Brown will start for Chicago. Brown appeared in six games in 2025 delivering an ERA of 6.04 with WHIP of 1.89. The right hander fans 24.6% with 11.1% walks. Ground ball rate of 42.9% with 1.07 home runs per nine innings. Quinn Priester is the starter for Milwaukee. Priester has four starts with an ERA of 3.79 and WHIP of 1.63. The righty strikes out 15.3% with 14.1% walks.
The Brewers suffered through an ugly 2-5 week in which defensive miscues played a huge role in the losses. What's up with the defense? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss that, the struggles of Joey Ortiz, the return of Tobias Myers, the injury to Garrett Mitchell and the dawn of Craig Yoho. Two players got benched over the weekend; is that generally a good idea at the MLB level? In Three Up Three Down (46:00), Devin Williams is out as closer in New York and an eventful day for Jackson Chourio. Remembrew When (1:03:00) looks back at another instance of a player getting benched for miscues and Curt Blanche checks in on some interesting Willy Adames comments (1:09:00). Then, JR visits with starting pitcher Quinn Priester (1:13:45), the midseason acquisition who's trying to fortify a hobbled starting rotation. Among the topics: His affinity for the Chicago Bears and the family members who prefer the Packers side of the rivalry. Music intro from bensound.com.

Detroit Tigers vs. Milwaukee Brewers MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Tigers at Brewers 7:40PM ET—Jack Flaherty will start for Detroit. Flaherty has three starts in 2025 posting an ERA of 1.62 with WHIP of 0.96. The right hander has an elite 31.8% K rate with 10.6% walks. Ground balls sat at 37.8% with 0.54 home runs per nine innings. Quinn Priester gets the start for Milwaukee. Priester in his opener allowed one earned run with four strikeouts in five innings at Colorado. A 2019 first round pick has a career ERA of 6.02 with WHIP of 1.56 and 6.28 strikeouts per nine innings.
Milwaukee went 3-3 out west and got some encouraging performances from its patchwork starting rotation, so that's good news, right? Bullpen struggles played a role in all three losses, especially for Joel Payamps, and a 4-0 lead lost in the ninth Saturday looms large. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the bullpen and whether personnel moves are called for. Are we closer to Craig Yoho? They revisit the early-week trade for Quinn Priester and whether or not it was too high a price, plus the other roster move in December that looms over everything. The rotation got lots of good news, including the debut of Jose Quintana, a credible debut for Priester and yet another strong showing by Chad Patrick. Brice Turang just keeps hitting the ball hard and William Contreras may have turned a corner, but what about Rhys Hoskins, Joey Ortiz and Christian Yelich? In Three Up, Three Down (37:20), Tyler Alexander makes a circus catch and Jackson Chourio is chasing a weird bit of Brewers history. In Remembrew When (47:50), we visit one of the many Quintana outings against the Brewers, and Curt Blanche (55:10) has a spicy video-game take. Then, JR sits down with Jake Bauers (59:15), Brewers first baseman, to discuss his path to the big leagues, how seriously he takes his unconventional role as mop-up pitcher and his memories of last year's dramatic playoff homer ... and why he thinks it's a springboard into this season. Music intro from bensound.com. Musical cues (in order): "I Got What You Want" (Extended Version) by Gloria Tells, "Arriving at Dusk" by American Legion and "Screaming Fool" by Andreas Dahlback, all from www.epidemicsound.com.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin discuss their key takeaways from the team's 12-4 loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday afternoon at LECOM Park in Bradenton, Fla. Newly signed left-hander Andrew Heaney made his Pirates spring training debut, and it didn't go well. What caused Heaney to give up four earned runs and three walks in 1.2 innings? Should we be concerned about that? Plus former Pirate Quinn Priester started for the Red Sox and earned the win, showcasing velocity we never saw during his time in Pittsburgh. Where was that version of Priester during his time at PNC Park? Billy Cook made an excellent play in center field Tuesday. Could his defensive versatility give him a better chance of cracking the opening day roster? Our duo answers those questions and more.
