Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner get you set for MLB Tuesday betting. The guys also give out best bets. In the RJ Bell Dream Preview MLB podcast, hosts Munaf Manji and Griffin Werner offer a complete betting breakdown for Tuesday's MLB slate. The episode begins with lighthearted banter as both hosts recount humorous Memorial Day mishaps, setting the tone for the in-depth analysis to follow. The podcast proceeds through every major game with detailed assessments of pitching matchups, team form, statistical betting trends, and value-based betting recommendations. The first game reviewed is Dodgers at Guardians, where Dustin May's 0-4 record in road starts is highlighted as a key fade point. Griffin supports a Cleveland lean, and Munaf prefers the game total over due to Tanner Bybee's possible regression. For Cardinals at Orioles, both express skepticism about Andre Pallante as a road favorite, with Baltimore identified as a live dog given Sugano's contact-reliant style and Baltimore's recent bullpen improvement. In Giants at Tigers, Logan Webb's bounce-back potential is weighed against Detroit's disciplined offense. Flaherty's decline and Detroit's playoff-style play hint at a competitive game. The Braves-Phillies game is a marquee matchup where both hosts land on the Phillies, citing Spencer Strider's rust following Tommy John surgery and strong home form for Ranger Suarez. This becomes Griffin's best bet of the show. Next, they evaluate the Twins at Rays. Joe Ryan's 7-0-2 under trend is pitted against Taj Bradley's home run issues. Twins team total over and game over are both floated as viable plays. The Mets vs White Sox game is largely dismissed due to Chicago's poor form and lack of discipline despite Shane Smith's promising numbers. When analyzing Rockies at Cubs, Griffin equates Colorado to a “bad news bears” team and recommends backing Cubs team total over due to Marquez's poor road stats. In Blue Jays at Rangers, they highlight Bowden Francis's struggles and the Rangers' 22-6 under record at home, aligning both to bet the under confidently. Astros vs Athletics is covered next with JP Sears being unpredictable and Hunter Brown highlighted for his success at home and against Oakland. Munaf supports an Astros run line and game under if the total reaches 8. In Yankees at Angels, Rodon's improved form is discussed, along with Anderson's smoke-and-mirrors style that's worked at home. The price is too steep for the Yankees, so Angels +162 and possibly the over are considered. Pirates at Diamondbacks is where Munaf shares his best bet. He backs Arizona -1.5 based on Corbin Burnes' recent form and Pittsburgh's 6-19 road record. For Marlins at Padres, Miami's last-place scoring in the first five innings and San Diego's solid bullpen push both hosts toward first-half or full-game unders, or a light parlay with the Padres moneyline. The show concludes with a promo for pregame.com, urging listeners to use the code ERA20 for 20% off betting packages. Both best bets are recapped: Griffin on the Phillies -113 and Munaf on Diamondbacks -1.5. The summary blends humor, data, and actionable betting strategies, offering a complete picture of the Tuesday MLB card. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg break down the MLB slate of games for Memorial Day This special Memorial Day episode of The Inside Pitch features Scott Seidenberg and former MLB pitcher Josh Towers providing a comprehensive breakdown of the upcoming Monday baseball slate. The podcast focuses on travel dynamics, pitcher performances, betting angles, and how team momentum and logistics influence game outcomes. Central to the discussion is the “Sunday Night Fade”—a strategy of betting against teams that play Sunday night games and must travel before playing again on Monday. Scott cites a 6-1 record with this approach, spotlighting the Dodgers' travel from New York to Cleveland. Josh outlines how travel delays, postgame treatment, and media responsibilities—especially for players like Shohei Otani—can exhaust players, making them vulnerable in early Monday games. Josh and Scott discuss Otani's homer against Kodai Senga, noting it was the first Senga allowed since Opening Day. They analyze the Dodgers-Guardians matchup: Gavin Williams has a strong home record (3-1, 3.40 ERA), but struggles at night (5.09 ERA), while Yamamoto has a 1.00 ERA overall and has not yet pitched in a day game. Despite Yamamoto's strength, Josh is cautious, citing fatigue from travel as a factor. In Mets vs. White Sox, the Mets are favored. Hauser is unreliable (5.00 ERA in the minors), and the White Sox are 5-21 on the road. Clay Holmes has been strong for the Mets but is nearing workload limits. The duo leans Mets on the run line. Tarek Skubal's dominant performance (13 Ks in a 9-inning shutout) leads into Tigers-Giants. Keiter Montero's poor control (13 BB in 30 IP) makes backing the Giants appealing despite Hayden Birdsong's inexperience. Red Sox-Brewers is another key game. Boston's offense has faltered without Bregman, while Crochet has been elite. Chad Patrick has been solid at home. Josh and Scott prefer a first-five under wager, given offensive struggles. Cubs vs. Rockies is heavily skewed toward the Cubs, with Palmquist's disastrous starts (9 ER in 8 IP, 7 BB) making a run-line play likely. Eric Fedde (Cardinals) is steady, while Charlie Morton (Orioles) has had a volatile season. Despite recent rebound, Morton's early performances were poor, and the line favoring Baltimore is puzzling. In Rangers vs. Blue Jays, both deGrom and Gausman are top-tier arms. Toronto has scored just two runs in three games, and Texas' offense is struggling. Josh and Scott prefer the under, particularly a no-run first inning (Nerf-y) play. Royals vs. Reds also presents a Nerf-y opportunity: Lorenzen is 10-0 to the Nerf-y, and Chris Booback has a 1.45 ERA with 70 Ks in 68 innings. In Rays vs. Twins, Josh praises Tampa's momentum, especially with lineup depth like Chandler Simpson batting seventh. Paddock's 5.19 road ERA and vulnerability in early innings make Tampa appealing. However, Scott warns of fading the Rays later due to a back-loaded road-heavy schedule. Pirates-Diamondbacks features Heaney (8-2 Nerf-y) vs. Ryan Nelson, whose inconsistency and starter-reliever toggling limit trust. Another Nerf-y opportunity is noted. Padres-Marlins showcases Vasquez's steady performances against Weathers, who's shown flashes but is prone to walks and home runs. Yankees vs. Angels sees Yarbrough returning to form, while Kocanowicz has erratic command (20+ walks in 5 starts). Josh recommends betting Yankees and possibly on Kocanowicz's walk prop. The discussion shifts to the mound in Sacramento. Zach Wheeler complained about mound hardness affecting pitch delivery. Scott theorizes high elevation in pitches might stem from poor footing. Josh stresses that pros must adjust, though he criticizes coaches like Minnesota's, who lack firsthand pitching experience and can't offer adjustment strategies. The show ends with a promo code "DAY20" for 20% off at pregame.com and a reminder to enjoy the holiday with plenty of daytime baseball and solid betting opportunities.

Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 3-1 loss vs. the Rays to drop the series in Florida at Steinbrenner Field. He takes your calls and texts, and gets into an offensive display from the offence, that saw the team log six hits and five walks...and only one run. Does it fall on the top four batters, or does everyone wear it in games like this? He discusses Anthony Santander starting to (slightly) turn it around, and gets into the outing from José Berríos, who gave the team a chance to win over six innings after allowing a first inning three-run bomb. Plus, with Yimi García being put on the IL, what does the circle of trust look like moving forward? 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.

Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 13-0 loss vs. the Rays to wrap up a series sweep in Florida. They take your calls and texts - did anything go right for the team today? They get into the start from Chris Bassitt, the outing from Mason Fluharty, and the bats continuing to lay low for a third straight game. Plus, they take a larger look at the team - are they just going to hover around a .500 record all season long, and if so, is that good enough to compete in a weaker AL East and American League overall? 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 break down the Blue Jays' 3-1 loss vs. the Rays to open the three-game series in Florida. They take your calls and texts, and begin with a discussion on Anthony Santander and Jonatan Clase - if Santander was available to pinch hit at the end of the game, should he have come in for Clase in the seventh inning? Does that speak to the confidence level John Schneider has in Santander right now? Plus, they get into the outing for Eric Lauer, the performance from Braydon Fisher, and their first (regular season) glimpse at Steinbrenner Field. 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.

Ben and Carlos talk about the strides that Brewers righthander Jacob Misiorowski is making with his strike-throwing in the early parts of the 2025 season. The two move onto a number of up-arrow Blue Jays prospects, including recent first rounders shortstop Arjun Nimmala and righthander Trey Yesavage.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday and this weekend. The guys cover the entire card and give out best bets. The MLB Friday betting podcast hosted by Manaf Manji and Griffin Warner covered an extensive analysis of all 16 matchups. Manaf opened by highlighting the full Friday slate, including a doubleheader between the Orioles and Red Sox. Griffin immediately addressed frustrations with umpiring and pitch clock enforcement, using Yoán Moncada's controversial strikeout as an example. For Game 1 of the doubleheader, Povich (Orioles) and Baio (Red Sox) were both criticized, with both hosts favoring the over due to poor pitching. Povich's 5.28 ERA vs. Boston and Baio's recent seven-run outing made betting the over a logical play. In Cubs vs. Reds, Griffin noted Hunter Greene's return from injury as a risk, while Manaf praised Boyd's consistency and strikeouts, leaning toward the Cubs. Brewers vs. Pirates saw Freddie Peralta favored despite Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes' talent, due to a lack of run support. Both suggested under 7 as a good play. For Giants vs. Nationals, McKenzie Gore's strikeout success and the Giants' bullpen issues led to a lean toward the Nationals, especially in the first five innings. Blue Jays vs. Rays featured skepticism toward both bullpens. Despite Rasmussen's 3.00 ERA vs. Toronto, his 1-4 record and poor run support made the Jays an attractive underdog. Dodgers vs. Mets focused on Clayton Kershaw's weak return and Canning's strong 5-1 record with a 2.47 ERA. The Mets, 8-1 in Canning's starts, were backed heavily. In Guardians vs. Tigers, Jackson Jobe's 4-0 record and Detroit's 8-0 team mark in his starts made them the clear pick. Pablo Lopez vs. Royals saw under 7.5 suggested, with Lopez's home starts hitting the over but mainly due to weak opponents. In Braves vs. Padres, Chris Sale's 15-2 home mark with Atlanta was compelling, but concerns over the Padres' offensive slump and pitching made Griffin hesitant. The Rangers, with a 35-15-1 under record and the worst AL offense, were labeled an overvalued -180 favorite vs. the White Sox. Burke's wildness (13 walks in 3 starts) and Texas' high swing rate set up a potential upset. Mariners vs. Astros examined Emerson Hancock's inconsistency and the Astros' injury woes. Both leaned Mariners at plus money. Phillies vs. A's spotlighted Sacramento's hitter-friendly park. Despite Wheeler's average road form, Philadelphia's offense was favored to overwhelm. Yankees vs. Rockies centered on the 12.5 total at Coors, suggesting Yankees' team total overs. Marlins vs. Angels featured heavy criticism of Sandy Alcantara's 7.99 ERA. Kikuchi, despite inconsistencies, was backed due to the Angels' offensive momentum. Cardinals were recommended over Arizona due to Gallen's 5.14 ERA and recent struggles, while Mikolas had been reliable. For best bets, Griffin took the Angels at -143, fading Alcantara. Manaf backed the Mets over Kershaw, citing Canning's stellar form and New York's offensive edge. They concluded with a promo for Griffin's picks and encouraged listeners to take advantage of the B.A.T.20 discount at pregame.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After a sweep of the reeling Padres, Justin and Patrick return to discuss how the Jays were able to pull it off. They got great pitching from Bassitt, Gausman, and the bullpen over the 3 game set and tons of production from up and down the lineup. With the sweep, the Jays climb back above .500 and head out on a road trip to play the Rays and Rangers. Justin gives updates on injured players and Patrick asks tough questions about Jeff Hoffman.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comRenewalSometimes my brain wakes up before my body wants to these days. And sometimes, when this occurs, I reach for my earbuds to feed my brain a gentle signal while my body transitions from asleep to awake. A couple days ago, when this happened, I instinctively decided to cue up the oldest, least recognizable opus in my trove of draft audio files: #2046. (You're invited to tap that play button at the top if you haven't already to listen in.)The tones of a familiar Pianet electric piano trickled into my ears, followed by a tape-delayed synth, an unrecognized electrified piano, then brighter, more kaleidoscopic voices. I had forgotten this piece. I listened, charmed by many things, annoyed by numerous details as well. Later that day I pulled up the session, noting it was created a year ago, to the day. I massaged it, sanded it its rough sonic edges, and came away with something I was happy with. Indeed, I'm eager to share this rediscovered piece. I've titled it Renewal. Beyond the preview above, I'm making this another Substack Exclusive. This is the only place you can hear it.Soundwalk is a reader-supported publication. Paid subscriptions start at less the $3/month. Free subscribers are valued too!Looking back, it is perhaps one of the earliest harbingers of a new direction that would become my Sleeping Animal oeuvre. Which is to say, it's the first of a string of impressionistic and atmospheric instrumental suite pieces that do not use environmental recordings to lend atmospheric overtones. Speaking of which, another planned Sleeping Animal release arrives tomorrow, May 22 on all streaming services. Look for Rays, wherever you get your music.Human Dust, or 50 Times Dumber than a StarfishThis morning I did it again. This time, at 5:30 am I chose to cue up the debut album by Eliana Glass: E. I formed a favorable first impression watching a video clip, so I was hopeful the album would prove out my hunch. Long story short, after a couple listens it largely did. I do like Glass' unique voice, which according to her blurb, “blends sonorous, androgynous poise with fluttering delicacy.” One track, “Human Dust” piqued my interest as I tried to parse out the lyrics in the dawn light of the bedroom.The first line grabbed me: “He was an artist. He died of a heart attack. He was born fifty years ago, which means he lived a half century, or 2/3 of his expected lifespan.”Well that could be me, I thought. Go on. The nearly eight minute song then lists a number of statistical observations—both private and quotidian—in an attempt to eulogize this man with objective candor, as if from an omniscient point of view. But the tone, if objective, was not empathetic or charitable: “He was unhappy and lonely more often than not, achieved 1/10,000 of his dreams…” The line that really grabbed me was this: His work was good but not great,and the last 10 years of his life he resigned himself to this fact.Could that also be me? I wondered. In the ranks of all those who self-identify as artists, what percentage are great? And these “great” artists; do they know it, like without a doubt? Padding down the stairs to make the morning coffee I felt a mix of introspection, intrigue and a touch of resentment as I strained to decode all the lyrics. Later that morning I discovered that the lyrics are a reading from the text of Agnes Denes' 1969 art installation piece, Human Dust, which features a shallow bowl of cremains on a pedestal, and the text on the wall.The interesting moments in the song come from misreads. While describing the man's future offspring, instead of “1 will have an unusual talent, 1 will be a politician, 1 will collect garbage,” Glass sings, “I will have an unusual talent, I will be a politician, I will collect garbage,” forcing a lurch in narrative framing. Instead of “[He consumed] 140 gallons of wine,” Glass murmurs, “4000-and gallons of wine”. Rather than “moved his bowels 18,548 times,” a mouthful, she abbreviates “384 times” with a cool nonchalance. Lastly, instead of “his brain contained 1010 neurons and it received 109 electrical impulses,” she deadpans “His brain contained 10 neurons and 10 electrical impulses.” Poor soul. No wonder he never achieved greatness. He was a constipated drunk; 50 times dumber than a starfish! But, comic reading aside, the heft of the work survives—despite the specifics lost in translation—and one could argue it possesses an impact that the stark bones, dust and text in a museum do not convey. I ruminated on it all morning.I could not find the text quoted on the internet. I zoomed in on the gallery photo to read it. ( In all fairness, the “1” in the typeface is mistakable for an “I”.)His work was good but not great. It struck a nerve. It's a much more potent insult to an artist, than say, a tradesperson. Good but not great is often too much to hope for, for say, a politician, but will do fine for a garbage collector, waiter, coder, etc… We hold artists to a higher standard, don't we?It's a trap. It's a wine snob type of thing, I defensively thought. “Great” is just marketing. An illusion. Shoot, even good-but-not-great wine is an order of magnitude more tolerable than good-but-not-great art. That brings me back to work #2046 / Renewal slumbering a year in digital obscurity. Just yesterday I started in on #2114. In the past year I've taken 70 stabs at making audio art. It's fair to say they can't all be great. Maybe none can. Fair enough. Whatever.I've always subscribed to the idea that art is not so different from other work. It's just something you keep doing, especially if you want to do it for a living. There is no one correct way of working as an artist. It takes all kinds. It's more of a use it or lose it proposition, as far as I'm concerned. In 1977 Woody Allen offered, “80% of life is showing up.” He went on to say, “Sometimes it's easier to hide home in bed. I've done both,” but that part got lost. So it goes with creative work. You show up. You put in the time. You practice. Hopefully you find ways to evolve and grow. Eventually you revisit old work, and it might inform a new direction. Shoot, some part of the creative process can even happen in bed. But, boil it all down, it's mostly just showing up, just like any other job. If someone says you're great, well that's just a bonus.Thanks for reading. Thanks for showing up here. I don't take it for granted.
