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???

The New York Mets continue their West Coast swing going 4-2, but not without some lingering frustrations. In this episode, we break down the bizarre series finale in Denver as the Mets appeared to punt the getaway game against the Colorado Rockies, raising plenty of questions about urgency, lineup construction, and in-game management.We dive deep into Carlos Mendoza's recent decision making, the bullpen usage that continues to confuse fans, and whether the Mets are overthinking matchups at the expense of consistency. Plus, are the constant lineup shuffles doing more harm than good for an already streaky offense?And then there's the elephant in the room: is it finally time for the Mets to DFA Sean Manaea? We discuss Manaea's struggles, what the alternatives could be, and whether the organization is nearing a breaking point.All that and more as we recap the road trip, examine the state of the roster, and look ahead to what's next for the Mets.FOLLOW on Instagram, YouTube & X: @cupofmetsSUBSCRIBE on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts!DOWNLOAD The SeatGeek App!

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. The guys discuss a Mets team that won some games, the shaky status of manager Carlos Mendoza, some offensive production, the ups and downs of Mark Vientos, Francisco Alvarez, Brett Baty, and Carson Benge, plus the ace-like work provided by Clay Holmes. 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. Ewing. Be sure to subscribe to The Mets Pod at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What's new with Asians in Baseball a few weeks into the season? First up, check out our new TeePublic store for all your Asians in Baseball merch needs! Ichiro's new bronze statue is revealed...a little wonkily, and we give a quick update on the guys on the IL. In position player news, Steven Kwan scores from first on some little league defense and discusses chasing his baseball dreams as a shorter player and Asian American, Trevor Larnach and Kim Hyeseong prove they deserve more playing time, and Bo Bichette's bat seems to be heating up...amid speculation he may still be nursing an injury. Then in pitching, Tatsuya Imai and Kodai Senga struggle; Joey Cantillo, Kumar Rocker, and Tomoyuki Sugano are solid; Kai Wei Teng, Sean Manaea, and Riley O'Brien make the bullpen proud, and Shota Imanaga and Bryan Woo do NOT deserve this from their offenses! Finally, Ohtani breaks another record, has the longest active streak without an earned run, and had 4 homers in his last 7 games, blah blah blah.

Fresh off crossing the 10 years of service time threshold Mets Pitcher Sean Manaea sat down with Pat McCarthy to discuss what the honor means to him along with the moments that mean the most to him over the 10 years.
Well well… look who decided to show up. The Mets finally remembered how to hit a baseball out in San Francisco, taking 3 of 4 and giving us just enough hope to start believing again — which, if you've watched this team long enough, is always a dangerous game. Farace tries not to overreact (he will), Rodriguez will pretend he saw this coming all along, and Producer Joe will be behind the wall nodding like he's the smartest one in the room without saying a word.Of course, because this is the Mets, the good vibes last about five minutes before getting punched in the face — Juan Soto is now out 2–3 weeks with a calf strain. Timing? Impeccable. We'll get into what this means for the lineup, who needs to step up (spoiler: everyone), and how long it takes before Rodriguez starts blaming the training staff and Farace starts blaming the universe.Meanwhile, the organization is out here actually doing something right for once — adjusting start times due to freezing temps and even giving away tickets. Mets caring about fans? Somebody check if Steve Cohen got hacked. Farace will take credit for it somehow, Rodriguez will still find something wrong with it, and Joe will just shrug behind the wall like he approved it personally.We also dive into Carlos Beltran getting his number retired on 9/19 against the Phillies — and yes, we'll remind everyone how great he was… right before someone inevitably brings up that one moment and ruins the vibe. You already know it's coming. Rodriguez probably has it bookmarked.Rodriguez is already fired up about the starting pitching needing to be better — which is rich considering he panics after two bad innings like the season's over. We'll talk Sean Manaea's potential to stabilize this staff and turn the bullpen into a real weapon… assuming we don't burn it out by May like we usually do.And then we get into the stuff that drives you insane — mental mistakes. The kind that Little Leaguers get yelled at for. The kind that make Farace lose his mind mid-show while Joe quietly laughs and Rodriguez tries to explain it away like he's on the coaching staff.We'll also ask the uncomfortable question — is Carlos Mendoza already on the hot seat? Too early? Probably. But that's never stopped this show before. If the Mets sneeze wrong, Rodriguez's already got a replacement lined up and Farace's halfway through a rant.At the plate, the approach is… confusing. Patience is great… until you're watching strike three go by like you're admiring the view. There's a balance here, and the Mets are still trying to find it. And yes, Rodriguez will say “I like the approach” while also complaining about it in the same breath.And speaking of reality… here it comes fast. Two more with the Diamondbacks, then three with the Athletics — including a reunion with Jeff McNeil, which is either going to be emotional or just awkward depending on how he plays. Then it's back out West again, this time to Los Angeles to face the back-to-back champion Dodgers. So yeah… that “we're back” feeling? Let's see how long that lasts.So the Mets are trending up… kinda. But there's still a lot to clean up before we start planning anything beyond April optimism. We'll break it all down the only way we know how — loud, honest, sarcastic, and with just enough chaos to keep it real. #PiitB #Mets
Sean Manaea was called upon to deliver a long relief outing in relief of David Peterson, and Sean was up to the call, delivering 4 solid innings of relief. He spoke with the media postgame about his outing and the gratification he gets from delivering out of the bullpen.
Following the Mets loss to the Diamondbacks, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza spoke with the media and discussed the struggles of David Peterson, his bounce back after the 2nd inning, Carson Benge snapping his hitless streak, and Sean Manaea's strong relief outing.

Spring training is entering its final stretch and the Mets are starting to get a clearer picture of what this roster might look like when Opening Day arrives. Farace and Rodriguez are back in the booth to break it all down — and with Producer Joe missing the show on some very questionable unapproved time off, things might actually stay on track for once.The biggest storyline right now revolves around Francisco Lindor, who has begun playing rehab games as he works his way back from hamate bone surgery. Lindor says he's confident he'll be ready for Opening Day, and if that holds true it's a major boost for the Mets lineup and clubhouse.There's encouraging news on the pitching side as well. Kodai Senga's velocity is reportedly right back where the Mets want it, sitting around 97–98 mph this spring, while Sean Manaea made his first appearance of the spring as the Mets continue evaluating their rotation depth. Meanwhile, Freddy Peralta is already speaking openly about the possibility of a future extension, which raises questions about how the Mets plan to structure their long-term pitching core.The roster picture is also beginning to take shape. Prospect Jonah Tong has been optioned to Triple-A, while Carson Benge continues competing for a role on the major league roster. Rodriguez was actually at the game on Friday and got a firsthand look at Benge in action — and even managed to end up in the background of a video featuring David Wright talking about Bo Bichette.Elsewhere around camp, Luis Robert Jr. reminded everyone about his power with a home run in a minor league game, while the Mets continue to work with Bichette behind the scenes as he gets comfortable in the organization.The World Baseball Classic is also creating some drama around the Mets organization. Nolan McLean is part of Team USA, which just suffered a surprising loss to Italy and now needs help in its next game to advance. It's another reminder of how much Mets talent is scattered across the tournament and how closely fans are watching to make sure everyone comes back healthy.We'll also take a look at MLB Network's Top 10 Right Now list for outfielders and where the game's elite stack up at the position.Spring training decisions are getting closer, roster battles are heating up, and Opening Day is right around the corner. Farace and Rodriguez break it all down — this time without Producer Joe behind the wall.See you in the booth. #Mets #PiitB #PutItInTheBooks

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo look back at a tough week that was for the Mets, and look ahead to the final stretch in the chase for a playoff spot. Connor and Joe feel relief after Pete Alonso's walk-off home run that snapped a long losing streak, and praise the early big league work by young starters Nolan McLean and Brandon Sproat. The guys also go long on the problems at hand, including the veteran members of the starting staff, Kodai Senga trying to find himself in Syracuse, an inconsistent offense, the readiness of Jonah Tong, and the uneven performance of an overworked bullpen. The show then goes Down on the Farm to check in on the minor league playoffs, and goes into the Mailbag to answer questions about the Mets' chances to get the third NL Wild Card, and what their starting rotation would look like in the postseason if they got there.

Caleb Williams is using the same nail technician as Angel Reese. Gio's not sure if Chicago Bears fans want to read something like that. Boomer said he needs to get his head out of his ass and start listening to his coaches. A caller said this Mets season is karma for all the trash talking the fans did after they got Juan Soto from the Yankees. Jerry returns for an update, but first Boomer shows a picture from a Ryder Cup event he played in 20 years ago with a bunch of celebrities. Jerry starts with the sounds of the Yankees loss to the Tigers as they gave up 9 runs in the 7th. Sean Manaea had a rough outing in Philadelphia where the Mets lost again. Carlos Mendoza was asked after the game about the possibility of them not making the playoffs. The critics are out in Chicago as JJ McCarthy looked better in game 1 of his career than Caleb Williams did in start number eighteen. Ben Johnson talked about his struggles. Deion Sanders was asked about his starting quarterback for this weekend. In the final segment of the hour, C-Mac, who loves the Yankees, has officially given up on Anthony Volpe. A caller has a wager for Gio for this weekend's boxing match on Netflix.
It feels like we are in the middle of a complete collapse by the Mets. The Mets are on the verge of not making the playoffs, and if they do make it, it will be short lived. To not get as far as last year after adding Juan Soto would be insane. They cannot let Sean Manaea pitch another game this season. Gio said they stink and have stunk for months. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with Kyle Schwarber hitting his 50th HR last night as the Phillies beat the Mets. The SF Giants won, also not good for the Mets. The Yankees had a very rough 7th inning and lost to the Tigers. Aaron Judge passed Yogi Berra as 5th all time in Yankees HRs. Buck Martinez had quite the critique of the Yankees during the Blue Jays broadcast. Chris Long talked about feeling old while watching the YouTube NFL broadcast. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls from Mets fans who have come to expect this type of season.

Will the Jets offense look anything like week 1 or was that an anomaly? If the Jets can run the ball like week 1, they will be in every game this year. Gio wonders if Boomer was into the UAP video of a missile being shot at an orb and it bouncing off. We took many calls on the UAP orb. Jerry returns for an update, but first Gio asks him about the alien orb. The Jets are cutting Xavier Gipson because of his fumble this past weekend. Daniel Jones was on Pat McAfee and talked about his big game with the Colts and his poor play with the Giants. Micah Parsons talked about his move to Green Bay after camp. The Yankees had a terrible seventh inning and lost to the Tigers. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wonders if this Mets collapse will be worse than 2007. Hour 4 We talked about the Ryder Cup with Jimmy Roberts from NBC. The event is taking place at Bethpage Black in Long Island. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with audio of Aaron Nola talking to the media and somebody farts and people laugh. Kyle Schwarber hit his 50th HR of the season as the Phillies beat the Mets again. The Yankees had a terrible 7th inning and lost to the Tigers. Daniel Jones was on with Pat McAfee and asked him what he learned in his short time with the Vikings. The Moment of The Day: Jerry talking like a space alien. In the final segment of the show, yesterday was 20 years ago that Gio walked in to WFAN to start the first day of his internship.

The Yankees aren't embarrassed by that ugly loss but they should be. The Mets are entering dangerous territory and Sean Manaea is hurting them.
On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo cover another crazy week for the Mets as the September stretch run begins.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB Tuesday betting. The latest MLB Tuesday betting preview from RJ Bell's Dream Preview podcast, hosted by Munaf Manji with Griffin Warner, sets the stage for a critical slate of late-August matchups as teams position themselves for the postseason. The episode dives deep into 14 games on the betting board, breaking down pitching matchups, recent team form, and value spots for bettors. Manji and Warner are riding an 83% hot streak on best bets, going 10–2 in their last 12, and their confidence and banter drive an engaging analysis that blends sharp betting insight with humor and strong statistical breakdowns. The show begins with Red Sox vs Orioles, where Lucas Giolito's improved form and Kyle Braddish's return from Tommy John make Boston and the over intriguing plays. The Braves vs Marlins matchup highlights Sandy Alcantara's struggles, with Warner leaning to the home underdog Marlins and the over on 7.5 runs. In Rays vs Guardians, Shane Baz's road splits and Cleveland's sputtering offense create strong value on Tampa Bay plus money. The Yankees vs Nationals discussion centers on Luis Gil's control issues and the Yankees' defensive problems, leading both analysts toward overs rather than trusting either side. Toronto vs Minnesota showcases Chris Bassett's dominant home record against Bailey Ober's brutal losing streak, making the Blue Jays run line their clear best bet of the day. The Mets remain a “fade” team, with Sean Manaea's poor record and Jesus Luzardo's strong history against New York cementing Philadelphia as the sharper side. Brewers vs Diamondbacks is pegged as a potential shootout, with Jacob Misiorowski's walk issues and Arizona's power threats pointing to an over. Royals vs White Sox highlights Chicago's lack of offense despite Martin Pérez's decent outings, pushing Kansas City as the stronger side. Other key breakdowns include Pirates vs Cardinals (leaning over), Angels vs Rangers (under 8.5 tabbed as Warner's best bet despite Corbin's volatility), and Astros vs Rockies (only playable through alternate run lines given Houston's -315 price). Padres vs Mariners positions Dylan Cease as a value underdog against a hittable Luis Castillo, while Cubs vs Giants trends under behind Matthew Boyd's road splits and Justin Verlander's home tendencies. The card wraps with Reds vs Dodgers, where Nick Martinez's inconsistency and Clayton Kershaw's diminished form suggest the over nine runs is the sharper angle. Beyond game analysis, the hosts highlight Pregame.com promotions, including a Beat Greg Shaker college football contest with $1,000 in prizes and a 20% sitewide discount using the promo code SLUGGER20. This synergy between MLB betting insights, college football contests, and broader handicapping content reinforces Pregame's role as a hub for sharp sports betting information. From an editorial perspective, the podcast succeeds by pairing statistical depth with practical wagering advice, appealing both to seasoned bettors and newer fans seeking guidance. The mix of trends, fantasy baseball angles, and promotional tie-ins keeps the content dynamic. My commentary is that the show's value lies not just in picks, but in its process: highlighting faulty lines, identifying exploitable splits, and stressing the importance of context when interpreting numbers. The betting insights are actionable, but the broader lesson is that line shopping, injury context, and market awareness are as crucial as raw stats. Late-August baseball handicapping, with best bets on Blue Jays run line and Angels vs Rangers under anchoring a comprehensive breakdown. As playoff races tighten, bettors get both sharp picks and a reminder of Pregame.com's broader offerings, making it a must-listen for anyone serious about MLB odds, betting strategies, and value plays heading into September.

The Mets bounced back despite another poor Kodai Senga start. He is the new human rain delay. The Mets scored a lot of runs with two outs last night. Mark Vientos is red hot and looking like the player he was last season. Willie says it's time for the Mets to start stacking wins and the guys agree that Sean Manaea needs to get going beginning with his start tonight.
Jerry and Willie Colon fill in for Boomer and Gio, and spirits are high. The Mets rebounded despite another poor Kodai Senga start, who's now the "human rain delay." They scored many two-out runs, with Mark Vientos red hot. Willie and the guys agree Sean Manaea needs to step up tonight. The game was delayed by Phillies' complaints about parabolic mics, but the Mets responded well. The Yankees won their "lose-lose" series. Andrew Bogusch's update covered the Yankees' win, Jazz Chisholm's 25th homer, Luis Torrens' 5 RBIs, and Francisco Alvarez's potential rehab assignment. Kodai Senga struggled again. Micah Parsons remains a hold-in after Terry McLaurin and Trey Hendrickson's new contracts, but Dak Prescott is unfazed, and Jerry Recco believes Jerry Jones will close a deal. In the final segment, Jerry and Willie discuss Micah Parsons with a Cowboys fan, and Jerry updates his bat situation, confident in the "jacked" exterminator.
Hour 1 Jerry and Willie Colon fill in for Boomer and Gio. The Mets bounced back, despite another poor Kodai Senga start (the new human rain delay), scoring many runs with two outs. Mark Vientos is red hot, and Willie says it's time for the Mets to stack wins; Sean Manaea needs to step up tonight. The game was delayed for 10 minutes because the Phillies complained about parabolic mics. Jerry was impressed with the Mets' response. The Yankees did what they needed to do in a lose-lose series. Andrew Bogusch's first update covers the Yankees' win, Jazz Chisholm's 25th homer, Luis Torrens' 5 RBIs, and Francisco Alvarez's potential rehab assignment. Kodai Senga struggled again. With McLaurin and Hendrickson signed, Micah Parsons is the lone hold-in; Dak Prescott is unbothered, and Jerry Recco believes Jerry Jones will get a deal done. Jerry and Willie discuss paying Parsons with a Cowboys fan and Jerry updates his bat situation (the exterminator was jacked). Hour 2 Jerry and Willie discussed Aaron Rodgers' interview, agreeing he tried with the Jets and expect him to excel in Pittsburgh. Terry McLaurin and Trey Hendrickson secured new contracts. The guys believe the Giants, with Russell Wilson, will surprise people and beat the Commanders. Bogusch provided an update, and Jerry mentioned Willie and Eddie Scozzare considering yoga. The Mets won big, and Cam Schlittler had a good start for the Yankees. Willson Contreras had a dugout meltdown. The hour concluded with a yoga call and a discussion about The Biggest Loser documentary. Hour 3 Willie believes Eddie and Fliegs have untapped athletic potential, but they and Jerry disagree. Jerry wonders what activities people spend a lot on but never master, like golf, with top X responses including sex, marriage, gambling, and skiing. Willie was a bad bowler early in his NFL career. The guys discuss the Jets and Giants' offensive and defensive lines. Bogusch updates on Tommy DeVito being waived by the Giants (Willie and Jerry expect him to be picked up) and plays Rodgers' message to Jets fans. The Yankees and Mets both crushed their opponents. Jerry is concerned about the bullpen tonight if Sean Manaea doesn't pitch deep. LIU is getting paid to play Florida, which helps financially, but Jerry and Willie worry about injuries. Finally, Jerry looks at examples of athletes with one standout season and surprising attendance numbers. Jerry thinks Raleigh, not Aaron Judge, should be MVP. Hour 4 The final hour discusses the Mets' win, Willie's concerns about Mendoza's team, and the Jets possibly claiming Tommy DeVito. Jerry and Willie debate why some college players fail in the NFL and agree not to rush Jaxson Dart. Bogusch's update covers DeVito's cut, the Jets' receiver search, and Yankees/Mets blowout wins. The show also questions Ohio State banning Dave Portnoy, features Willie the Yogi, and concludes with a dessert debate: key lime pie vs. chocolate, and cone vs. cup.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. Munaf Manji opens by previewing the weekend MLB slate, noting tightening division races and their current 6-0 best bet streak, aiming to match last year's 10-0 run. Griffin Warner jokes about his long commute before they dive into Friday's matchups. They start with the Cubs hosting the Pirates, Braxton Ashcraft versus Colin Rea, Cubs -196, total 9. Griffin cites Pittsburgh's weak road offense and bullpen reliance, favoring Chicago, possibly the under if the wind is in. Munaf highlights Chicago's strong record after losses, with Rea solid at home, backing Cubs -1.5 at -105. For Phillies at Nationals, Zach Wheeler faces MacKenzie Gore, PHI -175, total 8. Griffin notes Wheeler's home run troubles but likes the over; Munaf recalls Gore's two earlier meetings with Philadelphia and prefers PHI -1.5. In Texas at Toronto, Jacob deGrom meets Chris Bassitt, TOR +101, total 7.5. Griffin declares the Rangers' season “cooked” and picks Toronto, telling an “inside the pork” joke. Munaf cites Bassitt's dominant home record and leans Blue Jays and under. Miami at Boston sees Sandy Alcantara against Lucas Giolito, BOS -163, total 9. Griffin doubts Alcantara's form and leans over; Munaf notes his road over trend and favors BOS team total and full game over. Atlanta at Cleveland has Hurston Waldrep against Joey Cantillo, CLE -120, total 9. Griffin cites ATL injuries and poor road form, liking Cleveland; Munaf notes Atlanta's 23-38 road record and backs CLE. Seattle at New York Mets features Luis Castillo versus Sean Manaea, NYM -111, total 8.5. Griffin distrusts the Mets' bullpen, leaning Seattle; Munaf notes Mariners' road success in Castillo starts but with some caution. Baltimore at Houston matches Brandon Young against Framber Valdez, HOU -243, total 8. Griffin doubts Young's MLB quality; Munaf cites HOU's 8-3 home record with Valdez, backing -1.5. Chicago White Sox at Kansas City pits Aaron Civale against Noah Cameron, KC -180, total 9. Griffin dislikes KC as a home favorite but doubts CWS; Munaf sees value on CWS. Yankees at Cardinals has Luis Gil versus Andre Pallante, NYY -126, total 9. Griffin says STL sold key pieces; Munaf sees Gil in form and likes NYY. Arizona at Colorado, Brandon Pfaadt against Tanner Gordon, ARI -180, total 12. Griffin calls Pfaadt unpredictable, leaning over; Munaf notes Coors Field overs profitable, siding with over and slight COL lean. Angels at A's has Yusei Kikuchi versus Jack Perkins, near-even odds, total 10. Griffin favors whichever is underdog; Munaf leans under due to Kikuchi's poor road record. Tampa Bay at San Francisco pits Joel Boyle against Landen Roupp, SF -122, total 8. Griffin notes SF's poor offense and Boyle's HR issues, liking TB plus money; Munaf favors SF for Roupp's form. For best bets, Griffin takes Guardians -120 over Braves, citing motivation disparity, while Munaf picks Cubs -1.5 against Pirates based on their strong post-loss performance and Rea's reliability.
