Tampa Bay Rays ace Shane McClanahan exited his start early after suffering an unexpected physical setback.

The health and transaction wire is moving rapidly as Shane McClanahan exited his latest outing early, top prospect Max Clark earned a major promotion, Edwin Arroyo was sent back to the minors, and both Blake Snell and Kyle Harrison are embarking on rehab starts. Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani was held out of the lineup, Harrison Bader is officially out for the season, Curtis Mead is scheduled for re-imaging in four weeks, Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited early with cramping, and relief pitcher AJ Minter joined the Twins. Daily performance slates featured strong outings in the studs column from Kody Clemens, Noah Cameron, Alex Bregman, JJ Wetherholt launching a home run and swiping a bag, Roki Sasaki, Brandon Lowe, and Ryan Weathers dueling Sean Burke. Conversely, several prominent options struggled into the duds section, with Jake Burger going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, Miguel Vargas and Colson Montgomery turning in 0-for-5 days, Lars Nootbaar going 0-for-4 with three punchouts, and Bryan Woo, Trent Grisham, Jose Caballero, Kyle Tucker, Eugenio Suarez, and Bryan Reynolds all taking heavy hits.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Friday. Munaf Manji hosts this Friday, July 24, 2026 edition of Cash That Ticket solo once again, with his usual co host away handling a personal matter and expected back for Monday's show. He opens by recapping a winning Thursday built around a light five game slate, highlighted by the Detroit Tigers covering the first five innings run line against the Kansas City Royals before rallying to an eight to three win overall. From there he shifts into the bigger picture around the league as the trade deadline approaches, walking through persistent rumors that Tigers ace Tarik Skubal could become available, with the Los Angeles Dodgers viewed as the most aggressive suitor and the Milwaukee Brewers floated as a dark horse fit alongside young starter Jacob Misiorowski. He runs through the American League standings, noting the Detroit Tigers sitting at fifty four and forty nine through one hundred three games yet only six games back in a bunched AL Central, drawing a comparison to the Cleveland Guardians historic comeback from a season ago. He also covers a wide open AL West with no team above five hundred, along with a National League picture that shows more separation, led by an Atlanta Braves club four and a half games clear of the Philadelphia Phillies and a Los Angeles Dodgers team eleven games ahead in the NL West with the league's best run differential. With the landscape set, Munaf works through six matchups from Friday's ten game card. He starts with the Chicago Cubs at the Pittsburgh Pirates, weighing Matthew Boyd's rough road history against Pittsburgh against Jared Jones's improving recent form, and lands on the Pirates in the first five innings. He then breaks down the New York Yankees at the Philadelphia Phillies, pointing to Cam Schlittler's dominant road splits against Jesus Luzardo's home struggles at Citizens Bank Park, backing New York on the money line. He turns to the Arizona Diamondbacks hosting the Washington Nationals, highlighting Eduardo Rodriguez's consistent season and Washington's poor recent history in home series openers, which sets up his best bet of the night on the Diamondbacks team total. He covers the Atlanta Braves opening a series at the Baltimore Orioles, calling it the toughest read of the card and leaning toward the under. He previews the Los Angeles Dodgers visiting the New York Mets, targeting the Dodgers team total given Roki Sasaki's home run troubles and a Mets offense that has gone quiet lately. He closes matchup coverage with the Seattle Mariners at the Texas Rangers, siding with the home underdog Rangers behind Mackenzie Gore's strong home splits against Bryce Miller's poor career history in Texas. Throughout the show, Munaf references weather conditions at each ballpark and how tightly the betting board has moved compared to earlier in the season, when heavy favorites were far more common across the schedule. He wraps the show by naming the Arizona Diamondbacks team total over four and a half his best bet of the day, built on Washington's tendency to allow runs in series openers at home, and thanks listeners for sticking with him through a second straight week without his co host, promising more baseball and football coverage in the days ahead as the weekend series get underway around the league.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner brings a full fourteen game Major League Baseball slate to episode 70 of What I Bet on the Straight Outta Vegas AM podcast feed, arriving with a hot hand at three wins in his last three, seven wins in his last nine, nine wins in his last twelve, and twelve wins in his last seventeen, and he spends the Friday, July 24 show walking through every number on the board before locking in his best bet of the night. He opens with an early 4:10 p.m. Eastern first pitch between the Colorado Rockies and Milwaukee Brewers, explaining at 01:31 why Colorado's inflated home numbers make them nearly unplayable even at a plus price on the road. From there he turns at 02:16 to the matchup that becomes his headline lean, Matthew Boyd and the Chicago Cubs visiting Jared Jones and the Pittsburgh Pirates, fading Boyd after a swing and miss free final start against the Twins and backing Pittsburgh's price against a nationally popular opponent. At 03:02 he breaks down how the loss of Bobby Witt Jr. and uncertainty around Jac Caglianone push him toward the under as the Kansas City Royals visit Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers, then at 03:48 previews a potential shootout between Eduardo Rodriguez and the Arizona Diamondbacks against Connor Palmquist and the Washington Nationals, two travel worn clubs he expects to hit more than pitch. At 04:34 he explains why he does not trust Will Warren against Jesús Luzardo and the Philadelphia Phillies even with an underachieving Phillies lineup, and at 05:05 walks through why he leans toward the Atlanta Braves over Trevor Rogers and the Baltimore Orioles despite Rogers producing results that the market still will not fully believe. One of the most detailed segments arrives at 05:50, where Griffin analyzes Roki Sasaki's triple digit velocity without matching swing and miss numbers as the Los Angeles Dodgers visit Sean Manaea and a New York Mets team still unraveling after a defensive miscue in right field turned a sure win into a season altering loss, a sequence he ties directly to his under position on New York's adjusted second half win total. From 07:22 through 11:55 he moves through the rest of the card, leaning under with Joey Cantillo and the Cleveland Guardians against Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays, questioning whether Patrick Sandoval can be trusted post elbow reconstruction as the Toronto Blue Jays visit a red hot Boston Red Sox club, passing on Houston's Spencer Arrighetti and Chicago's Davis Martin until the price on Yordan Alvarez and the Astros gets cheaper, fading Mackenzie Gore's well known second half decline as the Seattle Mariners visit the Texas Rangers, fully fading the Athletics' pitching and offense as they travel overnight to face the Minnesota Twins, leaning under on a Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals pitching duel between Rhett Lowder and Dustin May, and choosing patience over a play on the Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco Giants total while it sits above his number. The episode closes at 13:42 with Griffin's official What I Bet best bet, the Pittsburgh Pirates at home, minus 120, over the Chicago Cubs, extending his run heading into the next installment of the show and giving listeners a complete first look at a full slate of numbers built game by game across nearly two hours of Major League Baseball action.

Roki Sasaki and Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered big performances in New York, while Justin Wrobleski and Eric Lauer helped quiet Philadelphia's dangerous lineup. Max Muncy starred in both series, Tommy Edman looked like his pre-injury self, and the Dodgers continued delivering in key situations. The crew also discusses Kyle Tucker's disappointing season and whether buyer's remorse is setting in, Emmet Sheehan's potential and struggles, and what the Dodgers still need before the trade deadline. Plus, the latest on Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, Edwin Díaz and Kiké Hernández, along with a breakdown of the Seth Halvorsen trade and the Dodgers' upcoming promotional schedule.

The fantasy landscape is bracing for impact as dominant MVP frontrunner Aaron Judge remains entirely shut down from physical activity, stalling his recovery timeline indefinitely. Corey Pieper breaks down a high-stakes pitching landscape, devastating long-term prospect injuries, a seismic trade market update, and the latest FanDuel Bet of the Day. Roster managers face massive late-season fallout as Aaron Judge remains unable to resume baseball activities, Christian Walker exits early with acute hip tightness, and dynamic infielder Jeremy Pena suffers yet another frustrating physical setback. The pitching front is equally turbulent as the Chicago Cubs aggressively trade for right-hander Aaron Civale, the high-octane duo of Mick Abel and David Festa are both declared out for the season, Casey Mize exits his latest start early, and JoJo Romero lands on the injured list. Fortunately, reinforcement is on the horizon with Jameson Taillon's return imminent, Ranger Suarez tracking to be activated tomorrow, and Ronel Blanco scheduled to pitch Monday, though managers must monitor Will Smith's recurring neck issues, Samuel Basallo handling right shoulder discomfort, Shohei Ohtani being withheld from the mound, Corbin Carroll's daily status, and Blaze Alexander's long-term absence with a broken hand. An absolutely loaded performance slate features a masterclass on the bump and offensive explosions. Chris Sale fired seven dominant frames of zero-earned, two-hit ball with six strikeouts, Gerrit Cole struck out eight across six high-quality frames, and Jake Bennett, Pete Lambert, Brady Singer, Landen Roupp, Jared Jones, Brandon Pfaadt, Tarik Skubal, JT Ginn, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Paul Skenes, Shota Imanaga, Hunter Greene, and Logan Gilbert all logged stellar outings, while Troy Melton dueled Reid Detmers, Shane Bieber battled Davis Martin, Sean Burke matched up with Trey Yesavage, and Eury Perez went head-to-head with Robert Gasser. At the plate, Trea Turner and Fernando Tatis Jr. both went completely electric by blasting a home run and swiping a bag on Saturday, Jose Trevino launched two home runs, and huge performances rolled in from Junior Caminero, Sam Antonacci, Drake Baldwin, Ryan Jeffers, Elly De La Cruz, Spencer Steer, Andres Chaparro, Curtis Mead, Kody Clemens, Wilyer Abreu, Shane Drohan, Spencer Torkelson, Hunter Goodman, Jackson Merrill, Nolan McLean, Austin Riley, Francisco Lindor, Esmerlyn Valdez, Ty France, and Tyler Stephenson. Conversely, Christian Walker's night was cut short, Jonathan Aranda bottomed out with an 0-for-7 doubleheader collar, and Griffin Jax, Gage Jump, Rhett Lowder, Ian Seymour, Jake Bauers, Eduardo Rodriguez, Cam Schlittler, Noah Cameron, Zebby Matthews, and Munetaka Murakami all landed in the duds column. Our weekly Waiver Wire segment delivers deep-dive evaluation on priority targets available in more than 60% of leagues, isolating the long-term roster utility of Caleb Durbin, AJ Ewing, Ryan Jeffers, Bryce Eldridge, Garrett Mitchell, Shane Drohan, Roki Sasaki, and Kade Anderson.

Roki Sasaki had never had an MLB start against a non-Angels team in which he didn't allow any earned runs. He has now, after 5.2 strong innings to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to victory in their series opener at Yankee Stadium. Max Muncy hit a huge two-run homer in the 7th inning to account for all of LA's runs, and Andy Pages teamed up with Mookie Betts and Dalton Rushing to cut down the potential tying run at the plate in the 8th, making up for earlier in the game when a Pages error and a Rushing passed ball led to New York's only run of the game. Also, does Will Smith's uncertain status mean the Dodgers need a catcher at the trade deadline? If so, who? Jeff Snider and Clint Pasillas are here to discuss it all, along with updates on Kiké Hernandez, Edwin Diaz, and Blake Snell.

Clint and Alanna discuss what was different for Sasaki. (23:01) Plus, injury updates on Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, Edwin Diaz, Kiké Hernandez, and more.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner returns with a new episode of the What I Bet Podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, diving into a loaded Friday, July 17th Major League Baseball card while riding a strong recent stretch of 5 and 2 in his last 7 picks, 7 and 3 in his last 10, and 10 and 5 in his last 15. The episode opens with an early matinee between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox, featuring Griffin Jax against rookie left hander Jake Bennett, before moving into the marquee matchup of the night as the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the New York Yankees with Roki Sasaki opposing Gerrit Cole, a game complicated by the possible absence of Shohei Ohtani and the continued absence of Aaron Judge. Warner works methodically through the rest of the card, breaking down Jared Jones against Gavin Williams as the Pittsburgh Pirates travel to face the Cleveland Guardians, a matchup that becomes central to the episode. He also covers Anthony Kay and the first place Chicago White Sox against Spencer Miles and the Toronto Blue Jays, Cal Quantrill and the Texas Rangers against a red hot Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves, and Sandy Alcantara leading the Miami Marlins against Logan Henderson and the Milwaukee Brewers. From there, Warner turns to Bailey Ober and the Minnesota Twins against Colin Rea and the Chicago Cubs, citing possible wind conditions at Wrigley Field, along with Dean Kremer and the Baltimore Orioles against Peter Lambert and a Houston Astros bullpen bolstered by the return of closer Josh Hader. He continues through Michael King and the San Diego Padres against Seth Lugo and the Kansas City Royals, Brady Singer and the Cincinnati Reds against Gabriel Hughes and the Colorado Rockies, Troy Melton and the Detroit Tigers against Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels, Cade Cavalli and the Washington Nationals against Gage Jump and an Athletics club currently playing in Sacramento, and closes the card breakdown with Landen Roupp and the San Francisco Giants against a surging Bryce Miller and the Seattle Mariners. Along the way, Warner shares a major promotional code, base25, offering 25 percent off any purchase at Pregame.com including his own season long MLB All Access package, dropping the price from 349 dollars to 262 dollars before the offer expires on July 27th, while noting he is up 21 and a half units of MLB profit on the season. The episode closes with Warner's official best bet, backing the Cleveland Guardians and Gavin Williams at minus 129 after building his case around Cleveland's pitching depth and bullpen advantage over Pittsburgh throughout the show. Listeners can find new episodes of the What I Bet Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify through the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on the Pregame.com Podcast Network, with daily updates from Warner available at Real_G_Warner.

Alanna Rizzo and Clint Pasillas react to the series finale between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies. It was another vintage "Roki Sasaki start" for Roki Sasaki who looked terrible before locking in. Did Sasaki find what Dave Roberts and the Dodgers were looking for? We discuss! Clint points out something interesting with Edgardo Henriquez in the bullpen. On offense, the Dodgers have looked flat. But in this game, did they find their new two-hole hitter? We give some love to Tommy Edman. And a big Blake Snell update has us excited.
The fantasy baseball community received brutal news as Kansas City Royals ace Cole Ragans underwent a UCL repair surgery that will sideline him for the next 10 to 12 months. Corey Pieper breaks down a devastating injury wave, sweeping league suspensions, a major lineup shakeup in Houston, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. A volatile day on the medical and disciplinary fronts sees Willson Contreras and Cade Cavalli hit with 7-game suspensions, while Miles Mikolas receives a 5-game suspension. Meanwhile, the Houston Astros have moved Cristian Javier to the bullpen, Matt McLain is beginning to see reps in center field, and Brandon Nimmo continues to sit out with a lingering shoulder injury. Roster managers must also adjust for Jason Adam landing on the injured list with a shoulder strain, Dustin May getting forced out after just two outs by a dangerous comebacker, and Kenley Jansen curiously being brought into the 7th inning of a blowout loss. On the positive side, dynamic starter Hunter Greene is officially locked in to return to the mound. Daily performance highlights feature a spectacular pitching duel where Jacob Misiorowski racked up ten strikeouts over five dominant frames against Chase Burns. Nathan Eovaldi fanned nine over five innings, Ian Seymour struck out nine across six one-hit frames, and Walbert Urena battled Bryce Miller in a stellar pitching showcase.

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford officially lands on the injured list after suffering an unexpected physical setback. Corey Pieper breaks down structural managerial firings, significant minor league promotions, the weekly Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The medical and transaction wire is in complete chaos as the New York Mets fire manager Carlos Mendoza, Tony Santillan lands on the injured list with an oblique strain, and Marcelo Mayer, Robert Suarez, and Jesus Sanchez all hit the injured list. Meanwhile, Wyatt Langford hits the shelf, Tyler Soderstrom battles hip tightness, and Kai-Wei Teng is demoted, though fantasy managers receive reinforcements with Konnor Griffin returning, Hurston Waldrep being recalled, Adley Rutschman returning from the injured list, Sean Keys and Miguel Ulola earning promotions, Simeon Woods Richardson hitting waivers, Carlos Santana signing with the Braves, and Tommy Pham joining the Phillies on a minor league deal. Daily performance metrics highlight a stacked group of standouts as Hunter Goodman, Jake Bennett, David Peterson, Logan Webb, Kazuma Okamoto, Seiya Suzuki, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Luis Garcia Jr., Ryan O'Hearn, Sonny Gray, Junior Caminero, Brandon Woodruff, Esmerlyn Valdez, Chris Sale, and Kerry Carpenter deliver big games, while Michael Wacha clashes with Davis Martin and Robbie Ray battles Chris Sale. Conversely, a massive list of foundational aces completely imploded, with Dylan Cease, Logan Gilbert, Gerrit Cole, Andre Pallante, Chase Burns, Kyle Bradish, Michael King, Anthony Kay, Roki Sasaki, Jared Jones, and Spencer Arrighetti all relegated to the duds section. Our weekly Waiver Wire segment provides direct tactical targets to optimize your active roster, specifically breaking down the immediate priority additions of Heliot Ramos, Bryce Eldridge, AJ Ewing, Joey Cantillo, and Brandon Young.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner returns to the What I Bet show on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a stacked Friday, June 26, 2026, pairing a decisive World Cup group stage with a complete Major League Baseball board. With two matches per group kicking off at the same time until the round of 32 arrives, Griffin moves group by group through every total, line move, and side worth a look, starting with a chaotic backdrop, the United States exit after two wins and a clinched group, and Turkey finally scoring a goal at the death after two blank matches. He breaks down Norway against France, both through on six points and chasing the group win, leaning to Norway plus one behind Erling Haaland out of Manchester City while noting Kylian Mbappé under scrutiny at Real Madrid for his defensive work, a wrinkle that pushes Griffin toward the under. He covers Iraq and Senegal, both reeling on zero points, with Senegal a major disappointment behind an aging backline despite strong goalkeeping from Mendy, and he criticizes the structure that advances eight third place teams as a quick shot at FIFA. He digs into Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde, praising the Cape Verde side as tournament darlings after draws with Uruguay and a goalless result against Spain, and lays out the under two and a quarter to two and a half range. He frames Uruguay against Spain as the marquee pairing, liking Uruguay plus one and the under while watching Darwin Núñez search for form under aggressive manager Marcelo Bielsa, with a caveat that Spain can crack the game open. He leans firmly under in the Iran and Egypt pride match in Seattle, and closes the soccer card by fading a flat Belgium golden generation while liking New Zealand and the under. Then the baseball begins. Griffin walks through Andrew Abbott against Paul Skenes in Pittsburgh, Spencer Arrighetti at Keider Montero in Detroit, Andrew Alvarez against Trevor Rogers in a Nationals and Orioles tilt, Nathan Eovaldi opposite former Ranger Patrick Corbin in Toronto, Will Warren versus rookie Payton Tolle at Fenway where his strongest lean is under eight and a half, Luis Castillo against Joey Cantillo in Cleveland with the Guardians at minus 108, Zac Gallen drawing Nick Martinez, Colin Rea against the electric Jacob Misiorowski in Milwaukee, Tomoyuki Sugano in a high total at Minnesota, Max Meyer opposite Michael McGreevy in St. Louis where he trusts the pitching toward under eight, JT Ginn against Walbert Ureña in Anaheim where he likes the plus 112 home underdog, and Roki Sasaki facing Walker Buehler in a tiny San Diego number he leans over. Bryce Miller, George Kirby, Bryan Woo, and José Ramírez all enter the rotation conversation along the way.

The Dodgers moved Tyler Glasnow to the 60-day injured list over the weekend, pushing back his timeline for returning from back spasms until July 6 at the absolute earliest. Glasnow has been shut down from throwing. With Glasnow and Blake Snell out, we compare the Dodgers rotation this year to 2025, when those two were injured midseason but returned by August, giving the team a big four starters they rode to a championship in October and November. For now, the Dodgers have to first get through the next six weeks until the All-Star break, but with strong performances by Roki Sasaki, Justin Wrobleski, and Emmet Sheehan, the pitching depth is in a much better place in 2026. Plus more on Nick Frasso, now back on the 40-man roster, what's next for River Ryan, and more. The Three-Inning Save is part of Bleav Network.

Fantasy Baseball Live – June 7, 2026 – 3 pm ETSegments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.Tanner Bibee with a great game on Saturday. They announced on the game that he was the least supported starter in baseball this season.2.Imai with another good start on Saturday – 5 IP, 5 hits, 2 ER, 8K/3BB. That's three in a row, including the no-hitter.a.Is he turning the corner?3.Sure it was the Angels, but Roki Sasaki looked great on Friday. 7 IP, 2 hits, 0 ER, 10K/2BB. He's been particularly good over his past four starts.a.Has he turned things around?b.Who would you rather have the rest of the Season – Imai or Sasaki?4.Royce Lewis is back in the Majors. I wrote last week that he was red hot and would likely see a return. Here's what I wrote.a.What are you thoughts on his return?Royce Lewis is making a loud statement for a return to Minnesota. In 13 games, he's hit 10 home runs and posted a .358 average. More importantly, his average exit velocity sits at 94.1 mph — a massive improvement over the woeful 87.9 mph he produced earlier with the Twins. He's still expanding the strike zone a ton, so the approach hasn't really changed. So why is he performing better?Some of it is BABIP correction, but only to a point. His .250 mark in Triple-A is better than the .215 he ran in Minnesota, yet still well below league norms. The real driver is simple: he's hitting the ball much harder. The caveat, of course, is that it's a tiny sample, and when you hit 10 home runs in 13 games, your EV is going to look inflated.Looking deeper, he's become a dead-pull hitter, and his long injury history has likely contributed to a gradual decline in exit velocity over the years. Will the EV fully return? Maybe. But can he stay healthy long enough for that to matter? My best guess is that he normalizes around 89–90 mph. With his leveraged swing, that still makes him a 20-homer bat. Given the aggressive approach, a modest batting average — something around .250 — feels realistic.I do think he'll return as a viable MLB player, but the superstar trajectory he once flashed doesn't look attainable anymore. At the same time, he wasn't as bad as he looked in April and May with Minnesota. The encouraging news is that he's hot, he's motivated, and he's forcing the issue. If the Twins wanted to see a spark before bringing him back, they're getting it. They'll surely say he “made an adjustment,” and maybe he did, but with samples this small, it's nearly impossible to prove through the data.5.Bryce Miller has been money since returning from the IL – 1.33 ERA, 29K/5BB in 29 innings.6.Zebby wins again on Friday. Is he an every time starter now or are you holding your breath every time out?a.Order these pitchers the rest of the season – Gage Jump, Zebby, David Sandlin, Christian Scott7.We crushed Matt Chapman on Friday and that night he went 2 for 3 with 8 RBIs – a grand slam and a three-run home run.a.Fantasy managers – You're welcome!Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

The Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, and Milwaukee Brewers are the only teams in MLB this season to have eclipsed the 40-win mark so far. As leaders in their respective divisions, all three hold sizable leads and have shown they are among the best teams in the Senior Circuit. However, with many games still left to be played, which team will be able to handle the grind of 162 games and come out on top this season? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the success the National League division leaders have enjoyed this season, including breaking down the recent success of Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki. They also examine why starting pitching has been the key to the Braves' winning ways and how the Brewers have found offense in bunches during their sweep of the Colorado Rockies. Later, Jake and Jordan discuss Tarik Skubal's current rehab process, which is fast-tracking him for a potential return, and why the "Skubal Scope" surgery could be an absolute game changer for pitchers in the future.
