Grayson Rodriguez carries a 7.20 ERA and 1.62 WHIP through 12 appearances and 12 starts. Grayson Rodriguez owns the higher strikeout rate at 19.7%. Seth Lugo has the lower walk rate at 8.0%. Seth Lugo has produced the stronger ground-ball rate at 40.3%. Seth Lugo has allowed the lower home-run rate at 1.1 per nine innings.

Jason and Sterling react to the Royals standing firm at the trade deadline, holding onto veteran starters Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo. They give their thoughts and explain why it is a risky strategy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we discuss the Royals' Trade Deadline, or rather, lack of trades that happened. We like what we got from the trades we made, but it seemed like they left some at the table. Lane Thomas, Bailey Falter, and Kris Bubic being the only subtractions means there's a few impending free agents they didn't take advantage of. They were unwilling to move Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha to compete next year…Which we understand Wacha, but Lugo? Jackson plays devils's advocate to see what could happen due to them keeping both arms. Overall, just an underwhelming deadline for a handful of reasons. Then we of course, end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!

Jason and Sterling discuss Randy Dobnak and his stellar outing against the Twins. They also react to Buster Olney's comments on the trade deadline and how it impacts Michael Wacha & Seth Lugo!

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner runs the entire Tuesday, July 28 Major League Baseball card on What I Bet, building his own numbers before diving into a sixteen-game slate that opens with a Battle of Ohio doubleheader and closes on the West Coast. He starts with a quick note on recent form, four wins in the last five, eight and three in the last eleven, ten and four in the last fourteen, and thirteen and six in the last nineteen, before working through the board game by game. Slade Cecconi and the Guardians open against Chase Burns and the Reds in Game 1 of a doubleheader created by a postponed opener, and Griffin says he would rather see Gavin Williams on the mound for Cleveland while still liking the under. Brandon Pfaadt and Arizona travel to face Bubba Chandler and the Pirates, with Griffin siding with a cheap Diamondbacks price against a team he thinks has the better roster. Aaron Nola and the Phillies visit Sandy Alcantara and a reeling Marlins club, and Griffin explains why he still does not trust Nola despite Miami's twelve game skid, pointing to Philadelphia letting Ranger Suarez leave as a longer term concern. Cal Quantrill and the Rangers face Griffin Jax and the Rays in a game Griffin mostly avoids given Tampa Bay's strength at limiting runs at home. The clearest opinion of the show comes on Dean Kremer and the Orioles visiting Troy Melton and the Tigers, where Griffin argues Detroit is undervalued and Kremer keeps earning more market respect than he deserves, referencing a rough recent start against Houston. Shane Bieber and the Blue Jays face Cade Cavalli and a shaky Washington bullpen, Chris Sale and the Braves visit Christian Scott and the Mets with Griffin leaning the under, and Game 2 of the doubleheader brings Brady Singer against Gavin Williams and the Guardians in a spot Griffin mostly passes on. Gerrit Cole and the Yankees travel to face Anthony Kay and a struggling White Sox team, Seth Lugo and the Royals face Taj Bradley and a Minnesota bullpen that has quietly turned into a strength, and Griffin leans hard to the under there. Colin Rea and the Cubs visit Michael McGreevy and the Cardinals, with Griffin backing St. Louis over a Chicago staff propped up by its defense. Peter Lambert and the Astros face Reid Detmers and the Angels, and Griffin explains why he believes in Lambert and why Jeremy Pena might be the hottest hitter he has watched all year. Michael Lorenzen and the Rockies visit Michael King and the Padres, Jake Bennett and the Red Sox travel to face Gage Jump and the Athletics in Sacramento, and Logan Henderson and the Brewers face Landen Roupp and the Giants in a matchup Griffin likes on pitching alone. The card wraps with Luis Castillo and the Mariners facing Eric Lauer and the Dodgers, a spot Griffin leans over if the total drops. He closes the episode with his single What I Bet best bet of the night, the Detroit Tigers minus 130 at home over the Baltimore Orioles, built on confidence in Troy Melton and skepticism of Dean Kremer's price. Along the way he points listeners to a promo code worth ninety eight dollars in savings on football season access packages running all the way through the Super Bowl, starting with the Hall of Fame Game on August 6.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. Griffin Warner opens the latest What I Bet episode from the Straight Out of Vegas AM feed by circling back to an unresolved Kansas City Royals play from Tuesday, July 21, still awaiting a final grade, before turning to a Wednesday, July 22 Major League Baseball card thickened by multiple doubleheaders. He works the slate start to finish, beginning with Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh Pirates on the road against Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees, where he says he is not looking to fade Cole even with a live Pittsburgh bat behind him. He moves to Dean Kremer and the Baltimore Orioles visiting a red hot Boston Red Sox club that has won 14 straight, then to Christian Scott and a New York Mets team he thinks looks more like a contender than expected against an injury riddled Logan Henderson in Milwaukee. He covers Landen Roupp and the San Francisco Giants at Kansas City against Seth Lugo, trusting neither bullpen, Cade Cavalli and the Washington Nationals in Colorado, where he backs an over that dropped from 13 runs to eleven and a half, and Merrill Kelly and the Arizona Diamondbacks at home against an Athletics club he wants to fade, a matchup that becomes his marquee selection later in the show. He runs through Brady Singer and the Cincinnati Reds in Seattle against Emerson Hancock, the St. Louis Cardinals against a dependable Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels, and then pivots into the night slate with Eric Lauer and the Los Angeles Dodgers visiting Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies, where heavy money pushed the line toward even money before rain moved through the East Coast and Warner named the over his biggest interest of the night. He covers Bailey Ober and the Minnesota Twins against Slade Cecconi and the Cleveland Guardians, calling Cleveland's price too cheap, then returns to Pittsburgh for a game two look at Bubba Chandler against Max Fried, leaning to the Pirates as plus money underdogs. He works through the Tampa Bay Rays at the Toronto Blue Jays, a Baltimore and Boston nightcap at Fenway featuring Kyle Bradish, Michael King and the San Diego Padres against Martin Perez and the Atlanta Braves, the Chicago White Sox at Tyler Alexander and the Texas Rangers in what looks like a bullpen game, and Keider Montero and the Detroit Tigers against Colin Rea at a wind blown Wrigley Field. He closes the card with Sandy Alcantara and the Miami Marlins against Peter Lambert and the Houston Astros, leaning to the under in the final game of the night. Along the way he shares a new Pregame dot com promo code, early seven seven seven, worth ninety eight dollars in savings on football season all access packages good through the Hall of Fame Game in early August. He wraps with the show's recent betting record and lands on his featured best bet of the episode, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Merrill Kelly as home favorites in an early desert matinee against the Athletics.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner returns with a new episode of the What I Bet Podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, diving into a loaded Friday, July 17th Major League Baseball card while riding a strong recent stretch of 5 and 2 in his last 7 picks, 7 and 3 in his last 10, and 10 and 5 in his last 15. The episode opens with an early matinee between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox, featuring Griffin Jax against rookie left hander Jake Bennett, before moving into the marquee matchup of the night as the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the New York Yankees with Roki Sasaki opposing Gerrit Cole, a game complicated by the possible absence of Shohei Ohtani and the continued absence of Aaron Judge. Warner works methodically through the rest of the card, breaking down Jared Jones against Gavin Williams as the Pittsburgh Pirates travel to face the Cleveland Guardians, a matchup that becomes central to the episode. He also covers Anthony Kay and the first place Chicago White Sox against Spencer Miles and the Toronto Blue Jays, Cal Quantrill and the Texas Rangers against a red hot Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves, and Sandy Alcantara leading the Miami Marlins against Logan Henderson and the Milwaukee Brewers. From there, Warner turns to Bailey Ober and the Minnesota Twins against Colin Rea and the Chicago Cubs, citing possible wind conditions at Wrigley Field, along with Dean Kremer and the Baltimore Orioles against Peter Lambert and a Houston Astros bullpen bolstered by the return of closer Josh Hader. He continues through Michael King and the San Diego Padres against Seth Lugo and the Kansas City Royals, Brady Singer and the Cincinnati Reds against Gabriel Hughes and the Colorado Rockies, Troy Melton and the Detroit Tigers against Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels, Cade Cavalli and the Washington Nationals against Gage Jump and an Athletics club currently playing in Sacramento, and closes the card breakdown with Landen Roupp and the San Francisco Giants against a surging Bryce Miller and the Seattle Mariners. Along the way, Warner shares a major promotional code, base25, offering 25 percent off any purchase at Pregame.com including his own season long MLB All Access package, dropping the price from 349 dollars to 262 dollars before the offer expires on July 27th, while noting he is up 21 and a half units of MLB profit on the season. The episode closes with Warner's official best bet, backing the Cleveland Guardians and Gavin Williams at minus 129 after building his case around Cleveland's pitching depth and bullpen advantage over Pittsburgh throughout the show. Listeners can find new episodes of the What I Bet Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify through the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on the Pregame.com Podcast Network, with daily updates from Warner available at Real_G_Warner.

Kansas City Royals at Baltimore Orioles by Tony T. Matchup Analysis The starting-pitching matchup is relatively close by ERA. The strikeout rates are closely matched. The road starter also has the cleaner walk rate. Their ground-ball profiles are similar. The home starter has allowed fewer home runs per nine. Seth Lugo has made 18 starts in 18 appearances, while Shane Baz has made 18 starts in 18 appearances. The comparison puts immediate focus on strike throwing, contact quality and each starter's ability to keep the ball in the park.

A blockbuster Thursday slate shook the fantasy baseball universe to its absolute core, delivering a slate-breaking power clinic from a top-tier young phenom alongside an elite pitching performance that flirted with absolute perfection. Corey Pieper returns to break down the massive fantasy fallout, highlighting league-winning offensive explosions, high-leverage pitching meltdowns, crucial injury timelines, and an enticing underdog look for the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The Tampa Bay Rays put on an absolute masterclass that dominated the fantasy landscape. Infield cornerstone Junior Caminero logged a historic, slate-shattering first career three-home run game, punishing Royals pitching to the tune of 6 RBIs in a 13-2 rout. Right behind him on the mound, Ian Seymour put together a breathtaking bulk-relief performance, carrying a collective no-hit bid into the late frames while spinning 6.2 hitless, scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. Elsewhere in the league, young frontline arms flashed jaw-dropping upside. Bryce Miller weaponized an uncatchable arsenal to fan 11 batters over 5.2 frames, Tatsuya Imai fanned 10 in a stellar 6-inning duel to outlast Troy Melton, and Connelly Early logged nine punchouts to match Cam Schlittler's electric 9-strikeout showcase. After an agonizing slump, Freddy Peralta finally provided a massive sigh of relief for his fantasy managers, bouncing back beautifully from his previous shellacking to fire 5.2 brilliant, scoreless innings. Meanwhile, the power surges continued at the dish, as Caleb Durbin launched another long ball, and Texas phenom Wyatt Langford kept his blistering hot streak alive by clearing the fences yet again. On the flip side, several high-investment foundational players completely tanked fantasy ratios on Thursday. Premium righty Seth Lugo was targeted early and often, completely unraveling to surrender seven earned runs in just five painful innings. Kevin Gausman similarly hit a devastating structural roadblock, shelled for six earned runs on 10 hard hits across six laborious frames. Relief depth took a massive hit too, as Gus Varland collapsed out of the bullpen, tagged for five earned runs while failing to finish his second frame. High-profile rookies also endured a harsh reality check, with both Jac Caglianone and Nick Kurtz going completely quiet, turning in empty 0-for-4 nights anchored by three empty strikeouts apiece. The active fantasy landscape is bracing for a monumental weekend wave of high-impact activations and structural shifts. Roster reinforcements are officially incoming as dynamic shortstop centerpiece Bobby Witt Jr. is anticipated to make his highly awaited return to lineups today, and Corey Seager is officially back in action. Arizona's active rotation gets an immediate jolt with Brandon Pfaadt taking the bump today, newly flanked by veteran Max Kepler, who officially linked up with the Diamondbacks yesterday. However, it's not all positive news; Toronto suffers a blow as infield stabilizer Spencer Horwitz heads to the injured list, Oakland's Zack Gelof lands on the IL with a hand fracture, and the Cubs lose depth with Ben Brown sidelined due to a neck issue. Meanwhile, fantasy managers are keeping a vigilant eye on young catcher Cooper Ingle and tracking Matthew Boyd's progress as he works back toward rotation durability after a 4.2-inning buildup outing. We close out the broadcast with our signature Friday Pitching Planner segment, analyzing the essential arms you need to stream, start, or sit to guarantee your team locks down those crucial weekend category matchups.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin "Real G" Warner hosts this episode of What I Bet from the Straight Outta Vegas AM podcast feed, battling through a bout of Montezuma's revenge picked up during a trip to the World Cup in Mexico, but delivering a complete and sharp betting breakdown for Friday, June 19th, covering four FIFA World Cup group stage matches and a full Major League Baseball slate without missing a beat. Warner opens with the United States against Australia in Seattle, questioning Australia's ability to score at all against the Americans and landing on an Australia team total under as his most interesting number in that window, with the total having climbed from two and a quarter to two and a half. He moves to Morocco against Scotland in Boston, where he respects Morocco's credible draw with Brazil but cannot ignore Scotland's fundamental inability to put the ball in the net, leading him toward another team total under look at two and a quarter while flagging the important distinction between the two and two and a quarter lines. Brazil and Haiti gets a pass from Warner given the competitive imbalance, though he offers the notable observation that Brazil entered this 2026 World Cup as only a fourth or fifth global favorite despite their historic status. He wraps up the World Cup section on Turkey versus Paraguay, the most contested matchup of the group, raising concerns about Turkey's lineup decisions against Australia and their long track record of underperforming in major international competitions. On the MLB side, Warner covers every game on the board, identifying the Atlanta Braves as a genuinely compelling home underdog against Jacob Mizerowski and the Brewers, calling Atlanta the best team in baseball not named the Dodgers, and finding value on the Cleveland Guardians at plus 111 visiting Houston. He also leans toward the Twins as plus 147 underdogs at Arizona and likes the under in Seattle where strong winds were a factor the night before. Warner wraps the episode with the Pregame.com promo code KICK50, which gets listeners $50 off All Access football packages through the Hall of Fame Game on August 6th and expires June 29th, before delivering his What I Bet Best Bet, Kansas City Royals and Seth Lugo at plus 113 at home against the St. Louis Cardinals in one of the better rivalry games on the Friday card.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Dave Essler and Munaf Manji are back with a full Friday MLB betting card on Cash That Ticket, working through four sharply analyzed games before closing with an early look at the 2025 New York Jets win total. The show opens with Milwaukee at Atlanta, where Dave breaks down the remarkable turnaround of the Brewers starting pitcher, who allowed 11 earned runs in April but has surrendered just one total earned run in his last eight starts, including a complete game on 95 pitches. With Martin Perez on the mound for Atlanta, Munaf pulls the historical data showing Perez gave up 14 earned runs and 20 hits across two 2024 starts against Milwaukee. Both hosts find the Brewers run line and the Braves team total under three and a half at minus 145 on DraftKings as the most defensible angles, particularly with Ronald Acuna Jr. absent from the Atlanta lineup. The second game is San Diego at Texas, where Jacob deGrom takes the mound coming off four consecutive starts of two runs or fewer. Dave examines Randy Vasquez's road splits and limited Texas exposure, but the first five innings under at four and the Rangers minus a half run in the first five become the consensus plays. Dave makes the Rangers first five his official best bet of the Friday card at minus 130. The third game pits St. Louis against Kansas City, where Seth Lugo is returning from a concussion sustained when a comebacker struck him in the head. Dave questions betting behind any pitcher returning from that kind of head injury, and Lugo's home ERA of 4.06 across eight starts reinforces the concern. The Cardinals team total over four and a half is Dave's preferred market, while Munaf goes Cardinals money line at minus 122 on DraftKings as his official best bet for the card, citing McGreevey's strong rotation work and the line movement from minus 115 to minus 122 confirming market direction. The fourth game takes Boston to Seattle, where Ranger Suarez faces Bryce Miller at home. Despite heavy public money on the Mariners, Dave identifies reverse line movement pointing toward sharp Red Sox money and targets the Red Sox first five at plus 104, refusing to touch the full game given the Boston bullpen. A secondary look at the first five over three and a half rounds out the analysis, with Munaf noting Miller's career struggles against Boston totaling 14 earned runs in 15 and a third career innings against the Red Sox. The second half of the show turns to the Jets win total at five and a half, minus 120 on DraftKings. Both hosts land reluctantly on the over, reasoning that a team which won three games while giving up 503 points and recording zero interceptions on defense cannot realistically repeat that level of dysfunction. Geno Smith, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, a legitimate offensive line, and a new defensive scheme give New York enough pieces to reach six or seven wins. Dave jokes he may take the Jets over one interception this season with week one at Tennessee providing the first opportunity. The show closes with a reminder to use promo code STEAL50 at pregame.com for 50 dollars off All Access Bridge to Football, bringing the price to 199 dollars through the Hall of Fame game on August 6th.

   I didn't think it was possible but Trump's Golden Age is making the NBA great again.  It's true.  And on Wednesday night, they are calling a shot by a player from Jefferson City, Missouri the most iconic shot in NY Knicks history.  Taylor Swift went wild and a whole lot of people are feeling included by this league again.    In the middle of the bombing in Iran, their leaders called Trump on the phone and asked him to stop.  He told them to sign a deal or he's going to bomb them every day going forward.  Will this do it?  Who knows?    Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is the star of the congressional baseball game as the GOP crushes the Dems... again.   But it's the uniforms the democrats wore that are the real story.    KC has released a list of bars that will be open 23 hours a day for the World Cup.  Zac Brown is proud to sing the anthem at UFC 250 Sunday night.  Patrick Mahomes gets a new contract that sets all kinds of records.  The Royals blow one against the Rangers on Pride night and Seth Lugo is injured.  And Charles Barkley is our Final Final again.

Oneil Cruz is headed to the injured list with a broken left hand and is expected to miss at least four to six weeks. Joe Bond breaks down the latest news, the Rankings segment, and previews the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Will Smith is ticketed for the injured list, while Kodai Senga and Ryan Helsley are resuming rehab assignments.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Real_G Warner is back with the June 4 episode of the what I bet podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed of the pregame.com podcast network, and the card tonight is headlined by Game 2 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, with the Vegas Golden Knights heading back to Raleigh as plus money underdogs after stealing Game 1 on the road, 5-4, erasing a 2-0 deficit and getting a late winner from Tomas Hertl. Vegas is plus 138 in Game 2, Carolina minus 157, and the series price has already flipped all the way to the Golden Knights minus 140 favorites, a swing of roughly 222 percent on the Hurricanes side. Warner has been riding this team throughout the postseason, going five for five on the Knights as underdogs, and he is not stepping off now. Mitch Marner leads the entire 2026 playoffs with 21 points across 16 games, blocking shots in regulation and throwing no-look assists in the same shift, while Jack Eichel leads the postseason in assists with 16 and Ivan Barbashev, the Barbershop himself, has been a physical force at every stage of the run. On the baseball side, Warner runs through eight Thursday matchups, calling the Padres-Phillies game with Lucas Giolito against Zack Wheeler a tough spot for San Diego, skipping the Orioles-Red Sox matchup with Trevor Rogers and Brayan Bello in Boston as a pass with no strong angle, noting the Guardians plus 145 in the Bronx against Carlos Rodon and Slade Cecconi is a respectful number but a difficult structural spot for a small-ball club, passing on the Giants at Milwaukee with Adrian Houser against Coleman Crow while lamenting the state of the San Francisco front office, waiting on Seth Lugo and the Royals in Minnesota before committing to a side, leaning Astros at minus 105 with Kai-Wei Teng over Jared Jones in just his second start back from internal brace surgery, and watching the Dodgers price on Justin Wrobleski at Arizona against Ryne Nelson with Arizona plus 120 looking interesting. The best bet of the episode is Oakland Athletics plus 112 on the road at the Chicago Cubs, with J.T. Ginn carrying a 2.87 ERA and five straight quality starts into a matchup against Shota Imanaga, who has allowed eight home runs in his last three outings, and if the Wrigley wind blows out, Warner likes this number even more.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Esler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a full Tuesday session covering all three NBA playoff Game 2s and a deep pass through the MLB card before landing on official best bets for the night. Dave opens the episode processing a Monday night wash where a Nuggets team total over looked comfortable at halftime before a 21-point Denver fourth quarter killed the ticket, while a Royals-Orioles game over that appeared dead at 1-0 in the ninth inning came alive in extra innings and ended 7-5 in the 13th. The previous episode's best bets went one and one with Donovan Mitchell clearing his 27.5-point prop and Shohei Ohtani's home run at plus-230 falling short after pitchers chose to walk him twice on the night. The first game of Tuesday's playoff card has Boston entering as a 14.5-point favorite over a Philadelphia 76ers team still without Joel Embiid, recovering from appendicitis, and Dave wastes little time making the case for the total staying under for the second straight game after a 32-point Celtics blowout already went under in Game 1 despite Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard combining to shoot just 5-of-23 from three. Munaf leans Sixers team total under and expects another 120-plus performance from Boston once the perimeter shooting corrects. The Spurs-Blazers segment centers on Victor Wembanyama's historic 35-point playoff debut that set a San Antonio franchise record, with Dave making a sharp case for Portland at 11 to 11.5 points and the total going over as both teams figure to shoot closer to normal from three in Game 2 after the Spurs hit 47 percent and the Blazers shot just 26 percent in Game 1. Munaf zeros in on Jrue Holiday, who produced 11 assists and four rebounds on a miserable 4-of-15 shooting night in Game 1 and nearly cleared his combined points-rebounds-assists number anyway, backing Holiday over 26 combined at minus-123 on DraftKings as his best bet of the episode. The Rockets-Lakers game is dominated by the Kevin Durant game-time decision, with both hosts leaning under given Houston's defensive identity and the Lakers playing without Luka Doncic, and Munaf targeting LeBron James's rebounds and assists over and Reed Sheppard's three-point prop as the cleanest plays in an otherwise murky betting environment. Dave goes through the baseball card with a lean on the Reds full game and first five under with Chase Burns against Steven Matz, an over lean in Kansas City behind the wind blowing out and skepticism about Shane Baz and Kris Bubic matching what Kyle Bradish and Seth Lugo did Monday night, a Boston lean in Yankees-Red Sox with Connelly Early against a struggling Luis Gil, and a Cardinals lean over Miami despite some ambivalence about Dustin May facing Chris Paddack. Munaf flags the Guardians' strong bounce-back record but avoids Parker Messick after a 112-pitch no-hit bid in his last outing. Best bets are Nolan McLean carrying the Mets first five innings against a Twins offense that has never faced him and has been among the weakest in the American League, and Jrue Holiday's PRA over 26 combined.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Monday. Griffin Warner is back for episode 32 of What I Bet on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, recording late on April 20 and covering three sports on the holiday Monday card — European soccer, the 2026 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs first round, and a full MLB slate — opening with a transparent note that the previous best bet on the Braves-Phillies over did not cash after Atlanta scored nine runs and Philadelphia was shut out with zero. In Serie A, Griffin leans Lecce plus one quarter as a home underdog against Fiorentina, a club stretched thin by Europa Conference League commitments, and finds the under at two and a quarter goals equally appealing given Lecce's deeply defensive profile. In the Premier League, he is waiting for West Ham to reach plus one quarter before playing the side against Crystal Palace, whose manager Oliver Glasner is expected to depart at the end of the season, with the under two and a half his biggest interest for now. On the NHL side, Scott Seidenberg of Pregame.com contributed useful playoff totals history showing last year's playoff average posted total was 5.8 against an average outcome of 6.2, suggesting some market adjustment potential. Griffin fades the Pittsburgh Penguins at minus 152 in Game 2 of their Battle of Pennsylvania series and backs the Philadelphia Flyers at plus 134 after the Pens' weak Game 1 performance. He is genuinely unimpressed by the Carolina Hurricanes despite their 2-0 shutout win over Ottawa and finds the Senators at plus 128 in Game 2 a live underdog play. Minnesota's dominant 6-1 road win in Game 1 over the Dallas Stars makes the Wild plus 115 and over six his two plays in that series, while in the Oilers-Ducks Game 1 opener he leans the over six and a half rather than backing Anaheim outright despite acknowledging the upset potential his stepdad is calling for. On the MLB side he covers the full card from the Patriots Day early game featuring Jack Flaherty at plus 124 for Detroit against Sonny Gray and the Red Sox, through Spencer Arrighetti starting for the injury-depleted Astros against Slade Cecconi in Cleveland where he backs the Guardians at minus 113, to the Cardinals-Marlins under eight lean with Michael McGreevey's poor underlying numbers a concern, the Braves too expensive at minus 160 on the road despite Bryce Elder's excellent start, the Cubs at plus 102 at home against Aaron Nola with Philadelphia's defense and inconsistency making home value on Colin Rea the right play, the Royals at plus 104 with Seth Lugo against Kyle Bradish and an overvalued Baltimore club, the over at Coors Field with Justin Wrobleski facing José Quintana, over eight with Dylan Cease and the Blue Jays against Reed Detmers and the Angels, and the under eight in the Athletics-Mariners finale with J.T. Ginn a scary arm to back in Seattle against Emerson Hancock. Official best bet is the Chicago Cubs plus 102 at home behind Colin Rea.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Kansas City Royals MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Orioles at Royals 7:40 PM ET— Kyle Bradish will start for Baltimore. Bradish in four starts carries an ERA of 5.49 with WHIP of 1.63. The right hander strikes out 23.9% with 11.4% walks. Ground balls served at 50.9% with limited home run damage. A FIP of 3.17.

Welcome to Episode 153 of Tablesetters, where we cover everything happening across the world of baseball. Tonight's WBC special covers the final two quarterfinal games of the 2026 World Baseball Classic, and they delivered exactly the kind of drama this tournament is built on. Venezuela knocked out defending champion Japan with an 8–5 comeback victory in Miami, flipping the game in the sixth inning when Wilyer Abreu launched a go-ahead three-run homer off Sawamura Award winner Hiromi Itoh. Earlier, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Shohei Ohtani traded historic leadoff home runs in the first inning, marking the first time two former MVPs have led off a game with homers against each other. Japan briefly grabbed control with a three-run homer from Shota Morishita, but Maikel García's two-run shot in the fifth reopened the door before Abreu's blast finished the turnaround. The loss ends Samurai Japan's title defense and sends Venezuela to its first WBC semifinal since 2009. Earlier in Houston, Italy continued the most improbable run of the tournament with an 8–6 win over Puerto Rico at Daikin Park. Puerto Rico jumped ahead immediately on a leadoff homer from Willi Castro, but Italy answered with a four-run first inning against Seth Lugo and extended the lead to 8–2 by the fourth. Puerto Rico rallied late with four runs in the eighth to tighten the game, but Italy held on to stay undefeated and reach the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic for the first time in its history. Those results officially set the semifinal bracket in Miami. Venezuela will face Italy in one matchup, while Team USA meets the Dominican Republic in the other. Every game from here is win-or-go-home, and the quarterfinal round made something clear: the defending champions are gone, the Cinderella story is still alive, and the 2026 World Baseball Classic suddenly feels wide open.

The WBC is under way and numerous Royals have seen action. How have they done and what does it mean for the upcoming Royals season.David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) break down the latest from the WBC and the Royals.- Should the Royals worry about how many players are in the WBC?- Bobby Witt Jr. embraces the leadoff at the WBC.- Seth Lugo looks good in his first start.- What to make of Michael Wacha's mixed bag?- Maikel Garcia bats second for Venezuela.- Vinnie Pasquantino starts slow.- Jac Caglianone sits for Italy.- Luinder Avila allows too many baserunners.- Still no Carlos Estevez for the Dominican Republic.- Adding to the Royals Broadcast team.
