The Mets sold off half the pitching staff, started winning immediately, swept Cleveland, then got to Atlanta and remembered they are still the 2026 Mets. Fun little vacation from reality while it lasted.This week on The Put it in the Books Show, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down where the Mets actually stand now: 53-69, buried in the Wild Card picture, and basically playing the rest of the season to figure out who matters in 2027.Nolan McLean keeps giving Mets fans dangerous reasons to believe, Sean Manaea has temporarily escaped the “Manure” nickname, and Kodai Senga suddenly has his first MLB save while the bullpen gets even weirder after Devin Williams landed on the IL.Francisco Lindor says David Stearns is still the right guy, which gives Farace something to debate, Rodriguez something to doubt, and Producer Joe another chance to interrupt with a sound effect nobody asked for.We'll also hit Stock Up/Stock Down, Soto's rehab, Jefry Yan's energy, Carson Benge accidentally giving away Senga's save ball, and the Nationals coming to Citi Field next.The standings are cooked. The evaluation period is not. Farace will try to find hope, Rodriguez will show up with a shovel, and Producer Joe will somehow make the bullpen situation feel more organized than the show.LGM.#PiitB #Mets #LGM #NewYorkMets #PopCulturePros

The Mets have another chance to take the series over the Pirates and ahead of the rubber game Keith Raad sat down with Andy Green to get some roster updates, Carson Benge's return to the lineup and the day's starter Sean Manaea.
The Mets got a great all around day resulting in their 11-1 win to take the series over the Pirates and after the game and series victory Andy Green met with the media to discuss Sean Manaea's stellar start and the team's ability to move the line at the plate all day.
It was a terrific start for Sean Manaea as he collected 11 strikeouts over 7 innings and after the game and the win the Mets Starting Pitcher met with the media to discuss the outing and improved results over his past few starts.
In their first game after the trade deadline, the Mets defeated the Guardians 6-2. Postgame, Andy Green spoke with the media and praised the three-hit performance of Sean Manaea, the superb outing from Sean Manaea, and spoke about the long home run by Carson Benge.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk sports betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Dave Essler open with a look back at a profitable recent stretch before diving into a loaded Tuesday MLB card that features five headline matchups and closes with an early breakdown of the Green Bay Packers win total for the coming NFL season. The guys start in Cleveland, where Sean Manaea and the Mets face Joey Cantillo and the Guardians, debating whether a deflated Mets team total makes more sense than laying a heavy price on Cleveland, especially with New York missing Juan Soto and the Guardians bullpen showing some recent cracks. From there they move to Cincinnati, where JT Ginn and the Athletics face Brady Singer and the Reds, with both hosts leaning toward two ground ball pitchers keeping the total under in mild conditions, while an Athletics club missing Shea Langeliers and Brent Rooker adds to the case. The White Sox and Red Sox get a look next, with Davis Martin cooling off significantly since a hot start and Boston riding a long run as a road underdog after adding catcher Adley Rutschman at the trade deadline. The headline game of the night sends Tarik Skubal to the mound for his first start in a Dodgers uniform against Javier Assad and the Cubs, and the guys dig into lopsided betting splits on the under before landing on a first five innings approach given how unfamiliar Chicago hitters are with a new face in the division. The marquee slate wraps with Randy Vasquez and the Padres visiting Eduardo Rodriguez and a red hot Diamondbacks club, where sharp money on San Diego catches Uncle Dave's attention even as Munaf leans toward trusting Arizona's dominant home and road splits. Along the way the guys touch on the Pirates, Twins, Yankees, Rays and a Blue Jays team they both believe is quietly playing its way into relevance against a thin Houston rotation. The back half of the show pivots to football, where a full breakdown of the Green Bay Packers win total covers quarterback Jordan Love's up and down health history, lingering questions around Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft on defense, and a rugged opening schedule that has both hosts leaning toward the under for the season. Before wrapping up, the guys share a promo code for fifty dollars off the rest of season MLB all access package, and close with best bets on the board, including a total in the Giants and Rangers game and a first five innings look between the Athletics and Reds. Whether you are following the MLB stretch run or getting an early jump on NFL win totals, this episode covers the full board with context, numbers, and a couple of strong opinions along the way.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. On episode 73 of What I Bet, Griffin Warner runs through the entire July 29 Major League Baseball card before landing on his best bet of the night, opening with a check on his previous pick, Detroit on the money line at minus 130, while noting his recent form of four and two over his last six selections, eight and four over his last twelve, ten and five over his last fifteen, and thirteen and seven over his last twenty. He works methodically through the slate, starting with Jesus Luzardo and the Phillies visiting Ryan Gusto and a Marlins club fresh off a stunning comeback win, then moves into a genuine Wild Card scrap between Eduardo Rodriguez and the Diamondbacks and Jared Jones and the Pirates, a Blue Jays trip to face Zack Littell and the Nationals, and the opener of a Braves Mets doubleheader featuring AJ Smith-Shawver's return from elbow surgery against Sean Manaea. Warner covers Trevor Rogers and the Orioles taking on a Tigers club leaning on Tarik Skubal, a low scoring look at Shane Drohan and the Brewers against Logan Webb and the Giants, a Rangers trip to face a Rays bullpen game fronted by Casey Legumina, and Joey Cantillo pitching for the Guardians against a surging Cincinnati offense behind Brady Singer. He previews the Braves Mets doubleheader nightcap between Chris Sale and Christian Scott, a Yankees White Sox matchup pitting Cam Schlittler against Davis Martin, a Royals Twins game with Randy Dobnak on the mound for Kansas City, Matthew Boyd and the Cubs visiting Dustin May and the Cardinals, Hayden Wesneski's 2026 debut for Houston against Grayson Rodriguez and the Angels, Patrick Sandoval and the Red Sox against Jacob Lopez and the Athletics, and closes the card with a marquee matchup between Emerson Hancock and the Mariners against Eric Lauer and the Dodgers. Throughout, Warner breaks down current moneylines, run totals, and juice on both sides, weighs bullpen strength and recent form, and flags which underdogs he believes are priced fairly and which are not. He shares a Pregame.com promotional code, HIT50, that saves fifty dollars on his Major League Baseball second half all access package covering every pick through the World Series, bringing the regular 349 dollar price down to 299 dollars through August 10, while noting he is plus 23.92 MLB units on the season with a goal of doubling that total. Warner closes the show with his official best bet for the episode, the under seven and a half runs in game two of the Braves Mets doubleheader, built around Chris Sale on the mound for Atlanta against Christian Scott for New York, explaining that he leans toward the under nearly every time Sale pitches and does not fully trust a recent Mets offensive uptick against a true ace working on a turnaround between games. It is a comprehensive, game by game breakdown of a packed Wednesday slate from one of the more consistent voices in the sports betting podcast space, capping a stretch in which Warner has gone thirteen and seven over his last twenty selections while building toward a season long goal of forty units won.

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.

The New York Mets suffered a crushing corner infield blow as breakout third baseman Mark Vientos was placed on the injured list with a confirmed hand fracture. Corey Pieper breaks down a seismic wave of injury updates, massive impact rookie activations, high-strikeout pitching performances, and the latest FanDuel Bet of the Day. The injury bug continues to drastically alter fantasy rosters as Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez lands on the injured list with a groin strain, Zack Gelof is managing a new knee injury, and top outfield prospect Owen Caissie is expected to miss two to four weeks with a mild right calf strain. In response to these vacancies, Ryan Waldschmidt has been recalled to the big leagues while Pavin Smith was designated for assignment. On the positive side, massive offensive reinforcements have officially arrived as the Texas Rangers activated rookie sensation Wyatt Langford, and international superstar Munetaka Murakami has been activated to make his highly anticipated impact. Roster managers are also tracking solid rehab progression as Patrick Sandoval threw 4.1 innings of one-run ball and Logan Henderson logged 5.1 frames. An electric daily slate of performances featured elite strikeout upside on the mound. Gavin Williams put together an absolute masterclass with 11 strikeouts over seven brilliant innings, matched by Jesus Luzardo racking up 11 punchouts across seven frames of two-hit ball. Nathan Eovaldi fanned ten batters over six frames, Framber Valdez fired seven innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts, and Sean Manaea, Trevor Rogers, and Brady Singer turned in high-quality extended outings.

Griffin Warner talks betting for July 9th. Griffin Warner opens episode 61 of What I Bet on a winning note, cashing the Marlins moneyline as Tuesday night's best bet and pushing the show's recent form to 8 and 4 in the last 12 picks, 5 and 2 in the last 7, and 3 and 1 in the last 4. The episode carries the name of Heriberto Hernandez, the Marlins outfielder who has become a frequent feature on recent Marlins broadcasts thanks to a run of highlight reel home runs. From there the show turns to the World Cup quarterfinals, where four matches are on tap for Thursday, July 9, and the biggest one by far is France against Morocco at Gillette Stadium outside Boston. Griffin calls France the most talented team in the tournament behind Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise, co favorites with Spain, but questions whether manager Didier Deschamps will let his players attack with the freedom their talent deserves given how conservative Deschamps has been all tournament. That doubt pushes Griffin toward Morocco, a one goal underdog with the total at two and a half, a price he calls expensive but still appealing given how much more pragmatic and possession oriented Morocco has become in this competition. He also floats a Morocco to advance price near plus 305, leaning on his earlier successful call backing Morocco past the Netherlands. The show then moves into a full Major League Baseball breakdown covering nine games on the July 9 card. Bryce Elder and the Atlanta Braves visit Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh Pirates in an early getaway day matchup, with Griffin leaning toward the Pirates at a plus price. Michael Wacha and the Kansas City Royals visit Sean Manaea and the New York Mets, with Griffin favoring Kansas City. Trevor Rogers and the Baltimore Orioles host David Peterson and the Chicago Cubs in what Griffin calls his top interest of the day. Patrick Sandoval and the Boston Red Sox visit Anthony Kay and the Chicago White Sox, with Griffin fading the White Sox. Jack Perkins and the Athletics visit Framber Valdez and the Detroit Tigers, with Griffin liking the Tigers price. Jesus Luzardo and the Philadelphia Phillies visit Brady Singer and the Cincinnati Reds, with Griffin leaning to the over. Logan Henderson and the Milwaukee Brewers visit Andre Pallante and the St. Louis Cardinals, with Griffin sticking to his rule against road favorites and taking the Brewers. Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels visit Nathan Eovaldi and the Texas Rangers, with Griffin leaning under while flagging the shaky Angels bullpen. Merrill Kelly and the Arizona Diamondbacks visit Griffin Canning and the San Diego Padres, with Griffin fading a tired San Diego bullpen after closer Mason Miller worked on Tuesday. To close the episode, Griffin delivers his single best bet of the day, the Baltimore Orioles at minus 125 behind Trevor Rogers in an early matinee against the Chicago Cubs, calling Rogers the far more trustworthy arm in a spot he believes is priced too cheap. He wraps by restating the show's hot recent stretch and encouraging listeners to keep riding the streak through both the World Cup and Major League Baseball slates, with new episodes landing daily on the Straight Outta Vegas AM podcast feed and across social media at Real Underscore G.

The Mets won a series. Alert the authorities.This week on The Put it in the Books Show, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down the Mets finally taking 2 of 3 from the Royals, which would feel a lot better if the season wasn't already sitting in the corner wearing a neck brace.The .500 by the All-Star break goal is officially cooked, burned, buried, and probably traded to the Cubs for cash considerations. So now the conversation shifts from “can they save the season?” to “what the hell is the plan at the trade deadline?”Do the Mets sell and add talent throughout the system, or do they try to buy pieces at different levels and pretend this thing is still one hot streak away from mattering? Selling has pros: restock the farm, move short-term pieces, and stop lying to yourself. The cons? You're punting another expensive season and admitting the whole thing face-planted before August. Buying has pros too: you still have Soto, Lindor, and enough money to bully people. The cons? Buddy, have you watched this team?There is some good news. Juan Soto is an All-Star, because even in the middle of Mets chaos, superstar talent still shows up. Soto gets the nod, the kids keep making noise, and Nolan McLean continues to give Mets fans dangerous ace thoughts that Rodriguez will immediately try to ruin with math and sadness.We'll also talk about the offense waking up a little, Sean Manaea finally giving them length, Christian Scott flashing, A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge forcing the “play the kids” conversation, and Brett Baty picking a very interesting time to remind everyone he still exists.And yes, Farace will absolutely remind everyone that the Knicks won the 2026 NBA Championship, because New York joy is New York joy — and unlike the Mets, the Knicks actually figured out how to finish something without turning it into a federal investigation.Of course, because these are the Mets, even a series win comes with a bill. Mark Vientos gets hurt, trade deadline panic is still hanging over everything, and Andy Green is trying to manage a team that feels like it was assembled during a fire drill.Plus, we remember Phil Regan, “The Vulture,” who passed away at 89. Former pitcher, longtime coach, former Mets pitching coach, and a baseball lifer. Rest in peace to The Vulture.The goal is no longer .500. The goal is to look alive, figure out the keepers, and maybe not make Farace question every decision that led to owning microphones.Baseball. Sarcasm. Soto as an All-Star. Kids giving hope. Deadline pros and cons. Knicks championship joy. Trade panic. RIP Phil Regan. And Producer Joe probably wondering why he didn't fake a power outage.LGM.#PiitB #Mets

Carlos Mendoza said that last night's version of Sean Manaea was the best the Mets had seen in 2026. Pregame, he sat down with Pat McCarthy and echoed that sentiment, while also breaking down everything he has done and is continuing to do to try and get to that best version of himself, and stay at his best.
Happy Pride and welcome to June, where the Asians in Baseball underdogs are CRUSHING IT.3:45 - First up in position player news, some big moves this week that include Munetaka Murakami going on the 10-day IL, Jung Hoo Lee is ELITE elite (like, hitting 517 in his last 7 games elite), and the Red Sox Asians -- Yoshida, Wong, and Kiner-Falefa -- are HOT at the plate...even if their team is not. 20:45 - Ohtani the hitter is back to his old form, giving himself run support and generally just being the GOAT. And Naomi has a word for Brewers fans (hint: it's the same one that Ohtani uses when he's frustrated on the mound...)26:40 - Ohtani the pitcher is NOT satisfied with 6 innings of no-hit ball!!34:36 - In pitching news, Imai tosses the bulk of a combined Astros no-hitter, Kai Wei Teng seems quite comfortable in his new role as a starter, and we don't know what the heck is going on over at the Mets, but we do know that Jonah Tong and Sean Manaea are up for the task of righting the ship. 50:42 - This week's hot topic: What are we going to do with Hyeseong Kim and the Dodgers???

For about five minutes, it actually felt like the Mets were putting things together. Three straight wins. Four wins in five games. The offense waking up. The starters finally pitching deeper into games. Actual signs of life.And then Craig Kimbrell came jogging out of the bullpen like it was 2017.The Mets were one inning away from getting back to 4 wins in 5 games before Kimbrell decided to turn Coors Field into batting practice, serving up a grand slam that completely killed the momentum and dropped the Mets right back to 9 games under .500. Tremendous signing. Really elite stuff. Nothing says “stabilize the bullpen” quite like immediately detonating a game in the 8th inning.And the best part? Nobody even knows if the grand slam was actually fair or foul because apparently the Colorado Rockies are still using security cameras from a 2004 gas station. Every replay angle was obstructed, blurry, blocked by fans, or shot from somewhere near Wyoming. The umpires called it fair… and that was basically the end of the conversation because MLB apparently entered the witness protection program when it comes to competent replay systems in Denver.So now Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe try to figure out whether the Mets are actually improving… or if this team simply enjoys finding new and creative ways to ruin everyone's mood.The offense HAS looked better lately, which honestly seemed impossible a couple weeks ago. Marcus Semien is finally starting to look like a functioning baseball player again both offensively and defensively, while Mark Vientos continues to prove why the Mets keep giving him opportunities. The power is real. The defense? Still feels like every ground ball comes with suspense music.And in shocking baseball news, when the starters pitch deeper into games… the Mets actually win. Incredible discovery. Somebody alert NASA. We'll get into why the rotation settling down has helped and why Sean Manaea continues to look less like a reliable starter and more like a weekly social experiment designed to test Mets fans' sanity.We'll also cover injury updates involving AJ Minter, Jorge Polanco, and Francisco Lindor as the Mets try to survive long enough to keep the season from completely spiraling before summer even starts.The good news? April is over. The bad news? The Mets are still the Mets.Next up is 3 against the Diamondbacks before an off day Monday and a return home to Citi Field for a series against the Tigers.So yes… technically things look a little better.But every time this team gives you hope, somebody immediately drives it into a wall.LGM. #PiitB #Mets
Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo recap a somewhat good, maybe not bad week on the latest episode of The Mets Pod.

Connor and Joe then cover the developing Christian Scott story, the non-development of hitting in the minor leagues the last few years, and answer Mailbag questions about the bullpen, Sean Manaea, and top prospect A.J.
