Griffin Warner talks betting for Monday. Griffin Warner is back on the Pregame.com Podcast Network with episode 52 of What I Bet, the Monday, June 22nd edition, covering the full FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage card and the complete MLB slate before delivering a single best bet to close the show. Griffin opens by confirming the previous episode's winning play, Kansas City Royals at plus 113, a result that held on through a three-run ninth inning for a 6-5 final before moving straight into the World Cup. The first match on the board is Austria taking on defending champion Argentina at noon Central Time in Dallas, where Griffin observed real Austria supporter presence before making the tactical case for Ralf Rangnick's gegenpressing system as the one approach capable of limiting Messi's time and space. Griffin recaps Argentina's Matchday 1 win over Algeria, where Messi survived a red card situation and scored twice in the second half, and frames the Austria plus one and under two and a half combination as potentially live if the press works the way Rangnick, widely credited as the architect of that style and an influence on coaches like Xabi Alonso, designs it to work. Next up is France against Iraq, where Griffin acknowledges France is on another level after Kylian Mbappe's stoppage-time goal from outside the box buried all underdogs and unders in Matchday 1, and sees no compelling case for Iraq to compete. Griffin identifies Norway versus Senegal as the best match of the day, noting Erling Haaland scored twice in Norway's opener while Senegal impressed for 64 minutes against France before conceding a late Mbappe goal, finding the under two and a half and Senegal as a quarter-goal underdog both worth watching. The final group stage match features a must-win Algeria side returning after a 3-0 loss to Argentina taking on a Jordan team whose best European-league player, Mousa Al-Tamari, the so-called Jordanian Messi playing club football in France, did not show up in the opener. Griffin finds the one-goal spread too tight given Algeria's talent depth and expects sharp money to push the line before kickoff. Baseball follows with a ten-game slate preview. Griffin likes the under 8 in Yankees-Tigers with Garrett Cole back and a worrying Detroit bullpen, the under 7.5 in Royals-Rays with Michael Wacha and Drew Rasmussen both going well and a Tampa Bay team not built to score, the Astros at plus 104 against Toronto with Hunter Brown making a second start opposite Shane Bieber's first of the year, a slight Mets lean at plus 103 against the Cubs with Shota Imanaga's fly ball tendencies a concern against Kodai Senga, the White Sox at home over an injury-thinned Guardians roster missing José Ramírez after hamate surgery, a tempting Merrill Kelly plus 122 number against Andre Pallante in St. Louis, the over on Jason Bennett's rookie Coors Field debut for Boston, and a lean toward the under in the Braves-Padres matchup where Grant Holmes faces Michael King, with both bullpens strong and Ronald Acuña Jr. sidelined by a hamstring injury. Griffin closes with his official What I Bet Best Bet: Kansas City Royals under 7.5 at Tampa Bay Rays at minus 120, with a recommendation to sprinkle on the under 4 in the first half as well.

Episode 171 of Tablesetters is LIVE! We open with the first place Chicago White Sox, who suddenly sit atop the AL Central at 36-31 after starting the season 6-13. We break down whether this surge is actually sustainable, how Chicago has gone 29-17 since April 18, why their top-five offense has changed the entire outlook, and how Munetaka Murakami, Colson Montgomery, Miguel Vargas, Davis Martin, and top prospect Braden Montgomery have turned the White Sox into one of baseball's best stories. From there, we dive into Bryce Eldridge's unbelievable signature moment in San Francisco. Just two days after striking out with a chance to tie the game, the 21-year-old rookie launched an ultimate grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to complete an 11-10 Giants comeback over the Nationals. We discuss the Giants erasing a 9-1 deficit, Eldridge becoming the youngest player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam, Matt Chapman's monster game, and one of the most improbable wins in franchise history. We also discuss Ronald Acuña Jr. landing back on the injured list with another Grade 1 left hamstring strain, what it means for the Braves, and the bigger question of whether he is still a superstar. Acuña's 2023 MVP résumé is undeniable, but with two IL stints this season, multiple major injuries since 2021, and current numbers below his usual standard, the conversation has shifted from talent to availability. Plus, Drew Rasmussen dominates the Red Sox with a career-high 13 strikeouts over seven shutout innings, Max Scherzer reaches 3,500 career strikeouts while his season-long struggles continue, the Athletics and Brewers turn Las Vegas Ballpark into a launching pad, Dalton Rushing's villain reputation grows after another controversial slide, and we make our official Men's College World Series picks with Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, West Virginia, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Troy all fighting for Omaha.
