The Trade Deadline approaches and the Atlanta Braves have several needs to fill before Monday's cutoff. Can Alex Anthopoulos find the pieces the roster needs to complete a championship contender? Grant McAuley delves into the trade deadline rumors in the wake of the Detroit Tigers dealing ace Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers. With many more starters on the block, it leaves the Braves and other contenders with considerable options to weigh.

Also on deck for this episode: Ronald Acuña Jr.'s impact, the one-run victories, the stress on the bullpen, an injury to Reynaldo Lopez, an update on Spencer Schwellenbach, and the Braves roster crunch with Ha-Seong Kim back and Sean Murphy closing in on a return as Lane Thomas arrives in a trade with Kansas City.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the holiday weekend with a loaded Friday edition of Cash That Ticket, breaking down four featured MLB matchups before diving into the New York Giants NFL win total and closing with their best bets for the night. The show starts with a recap of Thursday's action, including a walk off win for Dave's best bet with the Cleveland Guardians and a narrow miss on his personal Seattle Mariners play behind a dominant Bryce Miller outing. From there the hosts break down Pittsburgh at Washington, where Foster Griffin's excellent form and edge against left handed hitters make the Nationals a clear first five innings lean, followed by Baltimore at Cincinnati, where hot weather and a rested Orioles club point toward a team total over. The Mets and Braves matchup becomes a bullpen driven under conversation given Christian Scott's inability to work deep into games, while Grant Holmes tries to navigate a Mets lineup he has rarely faced, all while Atlanta continues to play without Ronald Acuña Jr. The fourth featured game brings Michael King back to the mound against Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers one night after a wild slugfest, with both hosts targeting the first five innings under behind King's strong season long trend against Los Angeles hitters not named Freddie Freeman and Kyle Tucker. Beyond the headline games, Munaf flags value on the Rays against a struggling Spencer Arrighetti, while Dave breaks down a market driven angle on Arizona getting extra runs against Kyle Harrison and the Brewers. The back half of the show shifts to football as the pair continue their win total series with the New York Giants, weighing new head coach John Harbaugh's track record of fast turnarounds against the loss of Wan'Dale Robinson to the Titans and the trade of Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals, while balancing those changes against a healthy Malik Nabers, the additions of Odell Beckham Jr. and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and a promising young defensive front led by Abdul Carter and Brian Burns under new coordinator Dennard Wilson. Dave takes the over while Munaf sides with the under, setting up a friendly wager between the two co-hosts heading into the season. The show wraps with best bets for Friday, as Dave splits his play on the Astros and Munaf backs the Nationals on the moneyline, plus a quick look at a WNBA angle favoring the Chicago Sky against A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the month of July on Cash That Ticket with a full breakdown of the Wednesday MLB slate and the next chapter of their NFL win total preview series, all while looking to shake off a rare losing June that saw the show finish 10-13-1 and drop 5.6 units, leaving the all-time record at 106-79-3 for 57.3 percent and plus 14.17 units. The headline matchup of the night sends Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates into Philadelphia to face a red-hot Phillies club and a dominant Zack Wheeler, with both hosts weighing whether Skenes finally snaps an eight-start winless streak or whether Wheeler's outstanding home splits and recent history against Pittsburgh push them toward backing Philadelphia and a low-scoring first five innings. From there the guys turn to St. Louis traveling to Atlanta, where a Braves club still missing a fully ramped Ronald Acuña Jr. gets a close look against Michael McGreevy and a workload-limited Reynaldo López, leading both hosts toward value on the Cardinals as a live underdog. The Minnesota Twins and Houston Astros present the toughest puzzle of the night, with Taj Bradley and Tatsuya Imai both carrying uneven recent form, pushing the conversation toward team totals and first-five-innings alternatives rather than a straightforward side. San Francisco and Arizona close out the marquee action, with a struggling Zac Gallen drawing serious skepticism from both hosts given his home run rate and rough night game splits this season, setting up a Giants team total over as one of the night's featured plays. Beyond the marquee matchups, the guys touch on a Rockies-Marlins total and issue a caution about a heavily bet Royals-Rays game involving Shane McClanahan before shifting gears entirely into football. The NFL win total series continues with the Carolina Panthers set at seven and a half wins, and both hosts walk through last year's surprising NFC South title, the offseason departure of running back Rico Dowdle to Pittsburgh, a breakout rookie season from Tetairoa McMillan, and a retooled roster that now includes Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd on defense and Chuba Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks, and Trevor Etienne in the backfield, along with a quarterback room behind Bryce Young featuring Kenny Pickett, Will Grier, and Haynes King. Concerns about the offensive line, a still-developing defense, and a brutal opening stretch of the schedule push both hosts toward the under. Before wrapping, the guys remind listeners about pregame.com's 12th annual All American Celebration promotion, use code FIREWORKS12 for access to every pick from every pregame pro from Wednesday through Monday for just 77 dollars. The episode closes with best bets for the night, a Giants team total over from Dave Essler and a Pirates-Phillies first five innings under from Munaf Manji, plus a preview of tomorrow's show, which continues the win total series with the New Orleans Saints. Whether you're following the daily MLB grind, tracking NFL win totals ahead of the season, or just want sharp, conversational betting talk from two hosts who track their record publicly, this episode delivers the full Cash That Ticket experience heading into a busy July on the Pregame Network.
