Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about all the blowouts in baseball this year, the most wins in June market and the latest stories around the game. In this June 2nd episode of The Inside Pitch, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers analyze MLB's increasing blowouts. This season has already seen 46 games decided by 10+ runs, a record high since 2004. Towers attributes this to rushed player promotions, shortened drafts, minor league cuts, and analytics failing to teach players in-game adjustments. They cite examples such as Padres overcoming a 6-0 deficit against the Marlins and Diamondbacks' collapse due to emotional hangovers, underscoring how coaching and mental preparedness affect outcomes. The duo discusses bullpen usage's critical role in betting, highlighting the Red Sox's rested bullpen as an advantage. Towers explains that rested pens allow better in-game flexibility and reduce reliance on struggling relievers. Player development also takes center stage with the debate over Roman Anthony's MLB readiness. While his AAA stats are strong, Towers emphasizes non-statistical growth areas like situational hitting and emotional maturity. Craig Breslow's careful approach reflects a balance between development and team competitiveness. Looking at June betting markets, the Yankees, Dodgers, and Tigers share favorite status at +650. Towers favors the Tigers due to their home-heavy, softer schedule. He also projects the Nationals as a 2026 division contender, crediting their steady development. They examine profitability trends, identifying the Tigers as the most profitable moneyline and run line team, while the Rockies remain the best team to fade. The Cubs, Cardinals, Guardians, and Mets round out the most profitable sides, while Orioles, Braves, A's, and White Sox follow the Rockies in fade profitability. The conversation shifts to run support, highlighting pitchers like Andrew Heaney, who receives only 2.17 runs per start, despite a 3.39 ERA. Others like Kyle Freeland and Mitch Keller face similar challenges. Meanwhile, Max Fried benefits from 7.17 runs per start, aiding his success. Towers explains how run support impacts pitcher performance and confidence, influencing managerial decisions and pitcher development. Later, they address Corbin Burns' elbow injury, which appears severe as he was seen mouthing “elbow is done” after leaving a game. Towers elaborates on the biomechanics behind such injuries, emphasizing the importance of shoulder alignment and core stability to prevent stress on the elbow. Towers credits his own injury-free career to disciplined maintenance of these mechanics. They close discussing the Mariners retiring Ichiro's and Randy Johnson's number 51, an unprecedented honor. Towers reflects on his pitching strategy against Ichiro, where focusing on a single pitch location neutralized Ichiro's strengths. The podcast wraps with Seidenberg offering promotional codes for listeners and previewing upcoming MLB series while noting NBA and NHL finals on the horizon. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg discuss the latest around Major League Baseball. Juan Soto's struggles, the Dodgers slump and futures bets to make right now! In this episode, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers dissect a range of MLB storylines, with a heavy focus on Juan Soto's troubled transition to the Mets. Soto's recent on-field behavior—particularly his lack of hustle on a hit off the Green Monster and only securing one hit across three games against the Yankees—sparked criticism. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced plans to speak with Soto about his effort. Towers emphasized how professional athletes are expected to hustle regardless of performance, especially when part of a new organization. He critiqued Soto's declining stats (.246 average in 2025, subpar defense) and called out the media narrative that built him up unrealistically since his 2020 breakout. He believes the $765 million valuation raised unsustainable expectations. Michael Kay, based on conversations with Mets and Yankees insiders, claimed Soto appears “glum” and without joy. Soto reportedly preferred to remain a Yankee, but his family urged him to accept the Mets' offer. Towers, who played for both franchises, praised the Yankees for their professionalism and structure, saying it fosters respect and accountability. In contrast, he noted that the Mets, while improving, still lack the Yankees' foundational stability. Scott and Josh then evaluated the NL East race. Seidenberg endorsed betting on the Phillies to win the division at +130, noting their strong veteran core (Harper, Schwarber, Wheeler) and manager Dave Dombrowski's history of bold moves. Josh echoed this but pointed out the Phillies' need for young talent infusion, something they've lacked in recent years. They also discussed the Braves' resurgence, who started 0-8 but have since gone 24-15, with key players like Max Fried returning. Shifting to the Dodgers, both hosts criticized Dave Roberts' pitching management. The team's constant injuries and overuse of bullpen arms have led to four consecutive home losses. Towers questioned the effectiveness of the organization's throwing programs and training strategies. Despite Yamamoto's reliability, the rest of the rotation, including Snell, Glasnow, and Kershaw, remains inconsistent or injured. Fried's Cy Young candidacy was explored in depth. With a 1.29 ERA and consistent dominance, Josh called him the clear front-runner. Other contenders like Robbie Ray, Hunter Brown, and Chris Bubik were noted, though Fried's consistency set him apart. On the offensive side, Pete Crow Armstrong's recent surge sparked MVP speculation, but Josh dismissed it due to his relatively weak OBP and limited consistency. Attention turned to the Texas Rangers, whose rotation (deGrom, Eovaldi, Mowley) and improving offense make them serious contenders. The coaching shift toward personalized, non-analytic-heavy hitting plans has improved their situational batting. They also discussed trade rumors including Bo Bichette, Kenley Jansen, and Sandy Alcantara potentially moving before the deadline. The Orioles and Rockies came under fire for poor development. The Rockies' minus-150 run differential led Scott to predict they might break the all-time worst record. Josh argued that both teams lack direction and accountability, especially with player growth and clubhouse culture. Lastly, home field advantage in 2025 has reached historic levels, with home teams winning 56.5% of games, the best rate since 2005. Betting trends show high returns for home favorites, and Seidenberg emphasized this is a year to follow such patterns. The hosts closed with MVP and Cy Young betting odds, a promo for Pregame.com, and a final note on the season's unpredictability and remaining opportunities. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about players receiving threats, the Rockies ineptitude and other betting stories around Major League Baseball. In this episode of "The Inside Pitch" recorded on May 12, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers discuss the controversy surrounding Lance McCullers Jr., his disastrous return, and the broader implications of gambling culture in MLB. McCullers, in his second start after a two-year injury hiatus, surrendered seven runs in a 10-run first inning against the Reds, registering just one out, giving up three hits, three walks, and one home run. Post-game, McCullers and his family received death threats, which Towers attributed to the toxic intersection of sports betting and fan entitlement. Towers emphasized that no athlete intentionally underperforms and that threatening players over wagers is unacceptable. Seidenberg concurred, adding that the accessibility of players via social media exacerbates the issue. McCullers expressed frustration, noting he only wants to perform for the Astros while ensuring his family's safety. Shifting focus to live betting strategies, Seidenberg recounted betting the Astros team total over 3.5 runs during the blowout, leveraging the assumption that weak bullpen arms would enter early. Towers supported this approach, explaining that such scenarios often lead to high-scoring games due to less effective relievers being used and pitchers potentially experimenting with pitches under low-pressure conditions. They dissected Brady Singer's outing, noting he stuck to his sinker-slider mix, throwing 30 sinkers, 15 sliders, and four cutters, struggling post the 45-minute delay. The discussion broadened to emphasize that blowouts offer learning opportunities for pitchers, enabling them to test pitches in-game situations they'd avoid in tighter contests. Attention turned to the Rockies' collapse, particularly their 21-0 loss to the Padres, followed by Bud Black's firing. Towers criticized the Rockies' misuse of pitchers, particularly exposing young arms like Blaylock to overwhelming situations, likely contributing to organizational dysfunction. Betting-wise, the Rockies were highlighted as historically profitable to fade, with 30 of their 33 losses by multiple runs and a 5-29 record in first-five innings. Seidenberg recommended automatic daily run line fades against the Rockies. Broader betting trends were analyzed, including the Mets' 29-12 first-five innings under record and the Royals' similar 30-12 mark. The Mariners surprisingly leaned to the over. The conversation shifted to player performance futures. Kyle Schwarber's 46-game on-base streak, 14 home runs, and .404 OBP were celebrated, with Seidenberg suggesting profitable betting strategies targeting Schwarber to reach base safely in his first plate appearance using various app markets. Josh Towers and Seidenberg also agreed that Freddie Freeman's .367 average and league-best OPS made him undervalued at +1100 for the NL MVP, criticizing how consistently elite players are often overlooked in futures markets. In Cy Young discussions, Wheeler was favored in the NL at +700 due to his 58 innings, 2.95 ERA, and 0.91 WHIP, while Skubal and Eovaldi were highlighted in the AL. Hunter Brown was noted as a legitimate contender, given his cleaned-up mechanics and plus stuff. The Rookie of the Year race saw Jacob Wilson as AL favorite, while Luis Angel Acuna led the NL despite modest power numbers, with Towers skeptical of his long-term viability. They concluded by discussing rookie dark horses and emphasized the difficulty pitchers face sustaining excellence across a full season, all while promoting Pregame.com's latest offers.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg discuss all things World Series Key Points

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Week 5 recap. The guys also look ahead to NFL Week 6 Steve Fezzik (0:48-3:36) highlights the recent uptick in scoring after a slow start to the season. He notes that, contrary to expectations, the kickoff rule changes haven't led to more scoring, but Week 5 saw more offensive touchdowns. Fezzik suggests that this increase could be tied to offenses adjusting to defenses, which initially had the upper hand. RJ Bell (1:15-5:38) agrees, positing that early-season defensive strategies caught offenses off guard, but Week 5's spike may indicate a shift as offenses find ways to counter. Fezzik believes betting the over on total points may now be profitable. Field Goal Trends and Red Zone Efficiency: Scott Seidenberg (7:47-8:47) observes a significant increase in long field goals. Through five weeks, 11 teams are averaging two or more field goals per game, up from just five teams last season. This rise points to field goal kickers becoming more important, even as teams continue to go for it on fourth down. The group also discusses San Francisco's red zone struggles. Despite leading the NFL in red zone plays, the 49ers rank 22nd in red zone efficiency (EPA), a sharp decline from last year's top spot (18:49-20:23). This inefficiency is a concern, especially for a team expected to compete for championships. Key Team and Player Performances: Kirk Cousins (6:15-7:47) draws attention for his steady performances. Fezzik views him as a borderline top-10 quarterback, but RJ argues that Cousins' play this season ranks even higher. The group compares him to more volatile quarterbacks like Kyler Murray, noting that consistency is key. The New York Jets (13:40-14:20) come under scrutiny for their disappointing 2-3 start. Seidenberg points out that despite high hopes with Aaron Rodgers, the offense has stagnated, scoring the same amount of points as last season under Zach Wilson. However, the Jets' defense ranks second in the NFL, giving them a glimmer of hope for a playoff push. Betting Insights and Power Ratings: Fezzik suggests that power ratings need drastic adjustments after Week 5 (3:36-5:38). Teams like Washington, initially viewed as weak, have outperformed, while Cleveland has underwhelmed. Washington's dominant win over Cleveland forces a reassessment of both teams' strengths. The group also discusses how to handle quarterback unpredictability in betting. Fezzik suggests quarterbacks who significantly outperform expectations should bump the team's rating, but warns that quarterback volatility makes it tough to rely on any one metric. Phony Final Scores: Fezzik highlights "phony final scores" where the stats don't align with the result (34:00-34:24). For instance, despite being outgained in yardage, Pittsburgh nearly defeated Dallas through turnovers and grit. Such games can mislead bettors relying on the final score rather than underlying metrics. Chiefs' Dominance and Week 5 Scoring Spike: The podcast emphasizes the Kansas City Chiefs' dominance (17:10-19:49), noting that they've played the fewest defensive snaps while trailing this season (48 plays), reflecting their ability to control games. In comparison, San Francisco is second with 49 plays while trailing. This speaks to both teams' dominance in holding leads. Finally, Week 5's scoring surge (15:10-16:18) is noted, with an average of 50 points per game, nearly six points above expectations. While Fezzik sees this as unsustainable, the group agrees that it reflects a shift in offensive effectiveness. Conclusion: The podcast provides in-depth insights into NFL Week 5, from evolving scoring trends to team evaluations and betting strategies. With a focus on key performances, player analysis, and statistical breakdowns, the hosts guide listeners on how to adjust their betting strategies moving forward, particularly as teams like Washington and Kansas City emerge as key players this season.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Mackenzie Rivers and Scott Seidenberg give out NFL Week 4 Picks. The guys deep dive into some of the leagues best and worst teams. Dave Essler also chimes in with his Week 4 best bet. Introduction (RJ Bell: 0:16 - 1:38) The podcast opens with RJ Bell commending the insights shared, specifically Steve Fezzik convincing him to back a game he was initially unsure about. The team then dives into a promotion for "Weekender" packages for sports betting enthusiasts, offering access to picks across multiple sports for $10, down from the usual $89. Analysis and Key Team Trends Jacksonville Jaguars (+6.5) vs. Buffalo Bills (Steve Fezzik: 13:24 - 16:59) Fezzik's top pick for Week 4 is the Jacksonville Jaguars at +6.5 against the Buffalo Bills. He critiques the significant shift in odds after Jacksonville's poor performance on Monday Night Football. Fezzik believes the line overreacts to recency bias, citing how Jacksonville's spread moved from +4.5 last week to +6.5 against a Bills team that is only a few points better than Houston. He argues that the number is too generous and sees value in backing the Jaguars. Quote (Steve Fezzik: 14:57 - 15:12): “It's the situational spot...you got a three and Buffalo team that just played Monday night...and you got a Baltimore team 1-2 needing the game like blood.” Ravens vs. Bills (Steve Fezzik: 6:10 - 6:30) Fezzik also notes an interesting trend where big dogs (teams receiving more than 5 points) are performing well this season, covering the spread at 14-2. On the flip side, small dogs (teams receiving 5 points or less) are 11-19-1. Fezzik highlights that his power ratings show no team being significantly better than others this year, with only a 5-point spread between the top and bottom teams in the league. Player Insights and Statistics Trevor Lawrence (Scott Seidenberg: 21:03 - 21:23) Scott Seidenberg notes Trevor Lawrence's struggles, pointing out his 0-8 record straight up in his last eight games. However, Seidenberg finds value in the Jaguars' ability to cover the spread as a significant underdog, referencing a historical trend of teams who lose by 30 or more points and then cover as dogs the following week. Quote (Scott Seidenberg: 21:06): "I do think there's value baked into this line...I think that the public saw Jacksonville get absolutely destroyed, but they're better than that.” Team and Player Statistics Favorite Trends RJ Bell provides macro trends on favorites this season, noting that favorites have gone 20-5-1, but larger underdogs (over 5 points) are outperforming smaller ones. This discrepancy highlights the unpredictable nature of NFL betting so far this season. Power Rankings Insights (Steve Fezzik: 6:10 - 6:44) Fezzik reveals that his NFL power rankings are tighter than ever. No team is rated more than 5 points higher than an average team, with New England being the worst team at -5.5 points. This compressed ranking suggests no elite team dominance, making the NFL season more competitive. Conclusion The podcast emphasizes sharp betting strategies, advocating for value picks based on contrarian analysis. Fezzik's insights into power rankings show a very balanced NFL season, while historical betting trends favor significant underdogs. The group urges caution, particularly with betting favorites, and encourages listeners to look beyond recency bias. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Scott Seidenberg, Steve Fezzik & Mackenzie Rivers preview Thursday Night Football between the Giants and Cowboys, talk about the NIL drama at UNLV and the mess that is the MLB Postseason races. Analysis of Key Quotes: Scott Seidenberg (0:00 - 1:47): Scott opens the discussion by previewing Thursday Night Football between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, emphasizing the betting odds. The notable quote is Scott highlighting that six-point underdogs have gone 12-1 against the spread (ATS) this season. This showcases the importance of tracking trends in NFL betting. Steve Fezzik (1:50 - 2:19): Fezzik explains his dislike for money-line betting due to the large gaps between prices (bid-ask spreads). He uses an example of a minus 230 line against a plus 195 line, highlighting the non-profitable nature of such bets for casual bettors. Mackenzie Rivers (2:52 - 3:04): Mackenzie makes an interesting point that it isn't star receiver CeeDee Lamb's fault for the Cowboys' struggles, but rather their defense allowing over 200 rushing yards per game. This emphasizes the importance of analyzing specific team deficiencies when betting on or against teams like Dallas. Steve Fezzik (4:09 - 4:24): Fezzik criticizes the fluctuating betting lines. He emphasizes that even if the Cowboys were a good bet at -4.5, a jump to -6 makes it less appealing. This ties into the overall theme of line movement and its significance in betting strategy. Scott Seidenberg (12:36 - 13:14): Scott humorously compares Matthew Sluka's situation at UNLV to the movie Blue Chips. Sluka is redshirting due to a payment dispute related to an NIL deal. The humorous quote highlights the complexities and contradictions in the NIL system and the economic aspects of college football. Player and Team Statistics: CeeDee Lamb has been a focal point of the Cowboys' offense, but Mackenzie Rivers stresses that defensive issues are what's truly holding them back, as the team has given up over 200 rushing yards per game. Daniel Jones, quarterback for the New York Giants, has a historically poor record in prime-time games, going 1-13 straight up and 5-9 ATS (7:07 - 7:31). This stat creates doubt around the Giants' chances against the Cowboys in prime-time matchups. Devin Singletary, the Bills running back, is discussed as a potential key player in Thursday's game due to the Cowboys' weak run defense. Fezzik humorously suggests considering betting on him scoring two touchdowns, adding a layer of prop bet insight. Team Insights: The discussion centers on the Cowboys' and Giants' game, with an in-depth focus on Dallas's defensive struggles and New York's potential to cover the spread. Fezzik argues that despite Dallas being a six-point favorite, New York is the smarter pick, given how poorly the Cowboys have performed recently (4:09 - 5:20). The panel also touches on other NFL teams. For instance, Scott mentions Mike McCarthy and Doug Peterson as candidates for being the first head coach fired this season (3:21 - 3:04). This shows how betting is also influenced by larger narratives around team management. Conclusion: This transcript provides insightful commentary on the upcoming NFL week, with a specific focus on the Cowboys vs. Giants game. The hosts analyze key trends in NFL betting, including team and player statistics, line movements, and prop bets. Fezzik, Seidenberg, and Rivers offer an entertaining yet informative look into both on-field performance and off-field betting strategy, making it clear that sharp bettors need to stay on top of the latest data and insights.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Mackenzie Rivers and Scott Seidenberg give out NFL Week 4 Picks. The guys deep dive into some of the leagues best and worst teams. Dave Essler also chimes in with his Week 4 best bet. Introduction (RJ Bell: 0:16 - 1:38) The podcast opens with RJ Bell commending the insights shared, specifically Steve Fezzik convincing him to back a game he was initially unsure about. The team then dives into a promotion for "Weekender" packages for sports betting enthusiasts, offering access to picks across multiple sports for $10, down from the usual $89. Analysis and Key Team Trends Jacksonville Jaguars (+6.5) vs. Buffalo Bills (Steve Fezzik: 13:24 - 16:59) Fezzik's top pick for Week 4 is the Jacksonville Jaguars at +6.5 against the Buffalo Bills. He critiques the significant shift in odds after Jacksonville's poor performance on Monday Night Football. Fezzik believes the line overreacts to recency bias, citing how Jacksonville's spread moved from +4.5 last week to +6.5 against a Bills team that is only a few points better than Houston. He argues that the number is too generous and sees value in backing the Jaguars. Quote (Steve Fezzik: 14:57 - 15:12): “It's the situational spot...you got a three and Buffalo team that just played Monday night...and you got a Baltimore team 1-2 needing the game like blood.” Ravens vs. Bills (Steve Fezzik: 6:10 - 6:30) Fezzik also notes an interesting trend where big dogs (teams receiving more than 5 points) are performing well this season, covering the spread at 14-2. On the flip side, small dogs (teams receiving 5 points or less) are 11-19-1. Fezzik highlights that his power ratings show no team being significantly better than others this year, with only a 5-point spread between the top and bottom teams in the league. Player Insights and Statistics Trevor Lawrence (Scott Seidenberg: 21:03 - 21:23) Scott Seidenberg notes Trevor Lawrence's struggles, pointing out his 0-8 record straight up in his last eight games. However, Seidenberg finds value in the Jaguars' ability to cover the spread as a significant underdog, referencing a historical trend of teams who lose by 30 or more points and then cover as dogs the following week. Quote (Scott Seidenberg: 21:06): "I do think there's value baked into this line...I think that the public saw Jacksonville get absolutely destroyed, but they're better than that.” Team and Player Statistics Favorite Trends RJ Bell provides macro trends on favorites this season, noting that favorites have gone 20-5-1, but larger underdogs (over 5 points) are outperforming smaller ones. This discrepancy highlights the unpredictable nature of NFL betting so far this season. Power Rankings Insights (Steve Fezzik: 6:10 - 6:44) Fezzik reveals that his NFL power rankings are tighter than ever. No team is rated more than 5 points higher than an average team, with New England being the worst team at -5.5 points. This compressed ranking suggests no elite team dominance, making the NFL season more competitive. Conclusion The podcast emphasizes sharp betting strategies, advocating for value picks based on contrarian analysis. Fezzik's insights into power rankings show a very balanced NFL season, while historical betting trends favor significant underdogs.

Scott Seidenberg, Steve Fezzik & Mackenzie Rivers recap a Monday Night Football double header. Plus the MLB games today that impact the Postseason races. Key Discussion Points and Quotes: Big Wins by Underdogs (0:00 - 3:36) Scott Seidenberg: "The Bills blow out the Jaguars 47-10 as Josh Allen adds to his MVP resume." Scott emphasizes Buffalo's dominance while also noting that underdogs, like the Washington Commanders (who beat the Bengals 38-33), continue to perform well. Steve Fezzik: "Six-point underdogs are now 12-1 ATS with eight outright wins." He stresses that this trend is rare, but reminds listeners that betting markets adjust, saying, "The market is way more efficient than you would ever believe." Player stats: Josh Allen's performance is highlighted as he threw for multiple touchdowns, further solidifying his MVP candidacy. Betting Strategies and Survivor Pools (3:23 - 10:33) Fezzik provides valuable insight into the current NFL betting landscape: “If you think you're going to win by laying minus 320 or taking plus 280, you're delusional.” Survivor pools: The conversation shifts to survivor pools, where Fezzik mentions, "We are down to 642 entries," after 14,266 entries started the season. This segment highlights the volatility in early-season NFL results, with Fezzik comparing it to roulette wheel betting odds. Cincinnati Bengals' Defensive Woes (4:03 - 7:00) Scott Seidenberg: "Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are now 0-3, and their defense is embarrassing." The panel discusses how the Commanders' offense dominated Cincinnati, leading to a second consecutive game without attempting a punt. This is indicative of Washington's aggressive play style, which they credit for their success. Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes for MVP (16:00 - 18:00) Scott and Mackenzie discuss why Josh Allen has outperformed Patrick Mahomes in the early MVP race. Mackenzie: “Mahomes has done nothing this year... Josh Allen is having a phenomenal season.” Team stats: The Bills' offense, orchestrated by coordinator Joe Brady, is praised for its efficiency, having scored touchdowns on its first five possessions in two separate games this season. Jacksonville Jaguars' Struggles (17:25 - 20:28) Fezzik: "It wouldn't surprise me if Doug Peterson is the first coach fired." The Jaguars' performance is heavily criticized, with Fezzik referencing an article about Trevor Lawrence's inconsistency. A quote from an NFC executive reads, “You want to fall in love with him one day and divorce him the next.” The Jaguars are now 0-3, and Fezzik emphasizes that this underperformance is affecting their betting odds. The updated win total is six and a half, which Fezzik confidently states he would bet the under on. Trends and Betting Strategies for Week 4 (22:00 - 23:36) Scott Seidenberg: "Since 2010, 0-2 teams are 70% ATS in week 3." He breaks down how various teams have performed against the spread, focusing on key matchups where underdogs have outperformed. The conversation extends into week 4 predictions, with Fezzik cautioning against betting on teams like Cincinnati and Tennessee, who failed in favorable betting spots. Conclusion (24:50 - 30:06) Major League Baseball: As the regular season draws to a close, Seidenberg gives a brief rundown of important games with playoff implications. Highlights include the Tigers' Tarek Skubal pitching as Detroit looks to secure a wild card spot, and the Yankees' bid to clinch the American League East against Baltimore. The show concludes with a reminder that more in-depth baseball analysis is available on Inside Pitch. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg go over the importance of the final week of the MLB regular season as the Postseason picture shapes up! In this episode, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers dive into the thrilling final week of the 2024 MLB season. They discuss the playoff picture, team performances, and individual player highlights as the season nears its end. Major topics include the Yankees' playoff push, the Orioles' collapse, the AL Wild Card battle, and the potential for two pitchers to win the Triple Crown. The Yankees, who are just a win away from clinching the AL East, are discussed with personal insights from Towers. He recalls how players' mindsets shift during this crucial week. While the Yankees prepare for postseason success, the Orioles have dramatically fallen, dropping to the bottom of key offensive and pitching metrics since August 21st, making Scott's under 90.5 wins bet on them likely to hit. A key focus is the Wild Card race, particularly between the Royals and Tigers. Detroit has been on fire since mid-August, tying Kansas City for the second and third Wild Card spots. In contrast, the Royals have collapsed with a seven-game losing streak, jeopardizing their playoff chances. Meanwhile, the Houston Astros have already secured their spot in the postseason, with Towers praising their ability to handle pressure. Towers and Seidenberg also discuss the potential historic achievement of Tariq Skubal (Tigers) and Chris Sale (Red Sox), who are close to becoming the fourth pair of pitchers in MLB history to both win the Triple Crown in the same season. Skubal leads the AL with 17 wins, 221 strikeouts, and a 2.48 ERA, while Sale dominates the NL. Betting odds and predictions are key parts of the episode. Scott breaks down playoff scenarios, noting the Tigers' -370 odds to make the playoffs, with the Royals at -155. The Mariners are extreme long shots at +1200. Discussion moves to possible World Series matchups, with a Yankees-Dodgers series being the dream scenario, given the star power and history between these teams. Towers also expresses confidence in the Padres, seeing them as strong contenders for the National League title. Meanwhile, Scott shares his betting success this season, highlighting a 55.8% win rate over 369 bets. Key Points: Yankees are one win away from clinching the AL East. Orioles' collapse since August 21 has dropped them in major metrics. The Tigers are tied with the Royals for the final Wild Card spot. Kansas City faces a potential playoff disaster after seven straight losses. The Astros have already secured their division title. Tariq Skubal and Chris Sale are close to winning the Triple Crown in pitching. Betting odds show the Tigers favored to make the playoffs, with the Mariners as long shots. A potential Yankees-Dodgers World Series is predicted, promising a blockbuster matchup. The Padres are dark horses in the NL playoff race. Scott has achieved a 55.8% win rate in betting over 369 bets this MLB season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg go over the MLB Postseason races and have a spirited MVP debate. Summary: The Inside Pitch with Josh Towers - MLB Postseason and MVP Race In this episode of The Inside Pitch, Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg dive deep into the tight MLB postseason races and the heated MVP debate. They analyze division leaders, playoff outlooks, and key performances from players like Francisco Lindor, Shohei Otani, and Aaron Judge. Postseason Race Breakdown Scott Seidenberg (0:12) opens by discussing the current standings across the MLB divisions. The Yankees lead the AL East, while the Phillies and Dodgers are on top in the NL. As Josh Towers (1:46) points out, experience and mental toughness will determine who can handle the pressure, citing Houston's dominance in the AL West. However, the Twins, despite leading the wild card race, may falter due to bullpen overuse and inconsistency. Francisco Lindor: Underrated MVP Contender Scott Seidenberg (11:43) makes a strong case for Francisco Lindor as a National League MVP candidate, noting his impressive stats and leadership as both a defensive and offensive powerhouse. However, Josh Towers (17:33) argues that Shohei Otani's historic offensive season, with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases, puts him ahead despite playing primarily as a DH. MVP Debate: Otani vs. Lindor The hosts debate the value of defense in the MVP conversation. Seidenberg (22:09) points out that Lindor's two-way contributions at shortstop give him an edge, while Towers (16:45) believes Otani's offensive feats make him the clear choice, despite not playing in the field. Yankees' Aaron Judge in the MVP Mix Scott Seidenberg (15:16) highlights Aaron Judge's consistency as a key reason he remains a strong MVP candidate. While Josh Towers (33:16) acknowledges Judge's dominance, he also brings up Bobby Witt Jr. as a contender, particularly with his base-stealing and triple-hitting prowess. Detroit Tigers' Playoff Push Detroit's 22-10 record since August 11 is the best in MLB, as Josh Towers (37:02) credits the Tigers' coaching for turning the team around. The upcoming series against Kansas City is pivotal, with Towers emphasizing that if they sweep the Royals, their playoff hopes are alive. Conclusion As the MLB season winds down, the competition for playoff spots and the MVP title intensifies. Teams like the Twins and Tigers are fighting for survival, while stars like Lindor, Otani, and Judge vie for MVP honors, making the final stretch of the 2024 season must-watch baseball.

The turnout is a lot greater than it was last year. Lori talks about her work and impact as a board member of the Spencer Educational Foundation. The new hires aren't able to make deep connections within the organization because they simply haven't been in the office. Lori has noticed that young professionals have grown up behind their computers, which means their in-person communication skills still have a bit of refining and improvement to go.

Lori shares her final thoughts before she goes onto what trends she's witnessing happen on the broker side of insurance.   Mentioned in This Episode: RISKWORLD 2023 Lori on LinkedIn

And it kind of blossomed into this whole thing. It's really exciting.” — Lori Seidenberg   “You just don't know the impact you have on people and what it means to them to see what you're doing. … It's very heartwarming [when] people come up to me and tell me that they've been following my career or I've inspired them to do certain things.” — Lori Seidenberg   “Networking is exhausting, don't get me wrong. But you never know when you're going to meet your next employer; you never know when you going to meet your next resource. … Relationships really matter. New York City is a lot smaller than people think.” — Lori Seidenberg

What if the central purpose of the Torah is to ensure was to ensure that people live in harmony with the environment and other living things? That is exactly what Rabbi David Seidenberg teaches, and he believes that Jews have strayed from the Torah's message for thousands of years. Seidenberg also believes Jews can return to the Torah's teaching and play a key role in combating climate change – before it is too late. Seidenberg spoke with podcast host Bryan Schwartzman live from B'Yachad: Reconstructing Judaism together, the movement-wide convention, in late March in Northern Virginia. This is the first Evolve podcast episode in front of a live audience. We took questions from the audience, had some sound interference from the next room but, through technical marvel, managed to record a crisp episode. And we delved deeply into Judaism and the environment, addressing questions like: does the Torah view animals as people? Is there any way to summon optimism regarding the state of a natural world confronting climate change caused by humans? Have humans always wrecked the environment and are we capable of change?

Lori Seidenberg is the Global Director of Real Assets Insurance at BlackRock, Inc. and has over 30 years of experience in the risk management and insurance space. For five years, Lori also worked in the entertainment industry as an Insurance Claims Manager. In this episode, Lori shares what it was like working for the entertainment industry and how to increase interest and diversity in the workplace, and provides helpful networking tips at the end to help new professionals get ahead.   Key Takeaways: A little bit about Lori and her role at BlackRock. Lori got started at AllState and fell in love with the insurance industry. How does BlackRock see risk? Lori learned a lesson early on that you have to look at the written documentation as your source of truth, and not necessarily people's language or interpretation of insurance policies. Insurance policies are black and white. They're not as scary as you might think. Lori shares what her experience was like working in insurance within the entertainment industry. Confidentiality is key when working with high-profile celebrities. When a celebrity is a real jerk, it really changes your perspective over them as an actor. Lori has been in the industry for over 30 years and has seen a wide range of changes to the industry. Women had a stricter dress code back then. However, it can be discouraging to see that the insurance industry is still heavily male-dominated. What can the insurance industry do to increase diversity? When you have three different generations working under the same roof, you get a wide range of perspectives that make it a better place to work. Lori shares what makes her slightly different in the industry. Lori says if women want to get ahead, learn how to play golf. She explains why it's important.   Mentioned in This Episode: Theinstitutes.org Blackrock.com Lori on LinkedIn
