Time for a Wednesday edition of Glenn Clark Radio, lots to do on the program today, Orioles win again, this time on the road vs a lefty up at Fenway Park, we'll recap last night, another fantastic effort from a starter in Shane Baz and look ahead to tonight's matchup with Bassitt on the bump. It's going to be a busy morning as both Ken Zalis and Drew Forrester will be in studio to punish Ken for losing our Ravens ‘Draft Draft' contest. Tim in Bel Air was nice enough to stop by and make some Malort Wings for us which we will be making Ken consume, among other things… We'll get to some of Drew's normal segments as well to talk Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final after last night and preview Game 1 of the NBA Finals ahead of tonight. At 11:30am, we are going to be joined by an old friend in former Oriole, now Red Sox reliever Danny Coulombe, to check in on how Danny is doing, talk about facing his old club and much more!

RaysUp -  Kimbrel joins the Rays on a Rough Road TripMark and Mat recorded this live while watching the Tampa Bay Rays wrap up a painful road trip in Baltimore, with the Orioles leading 5-0 early and eventually extending the lead. Despite the tough loss, the guys cover a packed agenda of Rays news, roster moves, and big-picture topics.Topics Covered1. Painful Baltimore Road TripThe Rays are getting roughed up in their final game in Baltimore. Steve Matz dominates early, putting up a 5-run first inning. The Orioles lineup — including standouts Ward and Alonso — is clicking at the right time.2. Shane Baz & The X-Rays WatchFormer Ray Shane Baz continues to impress with the Orioles, looking better than he ever did in Tampa. Mat notes his extension with Baltimore signals they're committed to him long-term, while discussing what the Orioles gave up (Grayson Rodriguez) and what they gained.3. Craig Kimbrel Signs with the RaysThe biggest roster news: the Rays signed talented veteran pitcher Craig Kimbrel. Mark and Mat break down:His career stats: 440 saves, 2018 World Series champion, 5x All-Star, 13.9 K/9 career rateHis walk rate dropping from 14% to 8% in 2026How the Rays coaching staff ("horse whisperer") can optimize his pitch mix and deceptive deliveryHis potential leadership value in the clubhouse alongside J.P. MartinezThe fun discussion about his signature pre-pitch lean-in routine — and what it means in the PitchCom era4. Victor Mesa Jr. Joins the RosterMat is excited about the outfielder's speed, power, defense, and baserunning — calling him a picture-perfect fit for the Rays' 2026 style of play. He profiles alongside Ryan Vilade, Chandler Simpson, and Cedric Mullins in the outfield mix.5. Bullpen Depth & Starting PitchingJonathan Heasley called up from Durham as Jesse Scholten hits the IL — Mat sees Heasley as a Zack Littell–type reclamation projectHunter Bigge still searching for his groove after returning from injuryGriffin Jax showing some fatigue; managing workloads is criticalCharlie Morton floated as a potential bullpen/reliever target for a short-season role6. Wander Franco Pardoned in the Dominican RepublicA sobering segment. Mat and Mark discuss:The Dominican Republic court's pardon and what it meansMLB's position as the ultimate decision-maker on reinstatementThe $182 million in guaranteed money still owed by the RaysHow political pressure (domestic and international) could influence MLB's rulingThe morals clause question and whether it applies across jurisdictions7. Fan Culture & Left Field EnergyA lighter moment: the shirtless fans in left field at Tropicana Field have become a genuine phenomenon. Mat compares it to beach culture; Mark notes even with only 11,000 in attendance, the noise was palpable and the players were visibly feeding off it.8. Stadium SituationMat flags the ongoing stadium issue as still unresolved and worth watching. Mark mentions plans to research how a similar stadium project in Tennessee (Nippon Stadium) navigated the political and business hurdles.9. Big Picture: Rays Are Still in Great ShapeDespite the rough road trip, Mat closes on an optimistic note:2nd overall pick in the upcoming draftCompensation pick available in trade packagesStrong minor league system (FCL crew standouts, Caden Bodine promoted)Just need a .500 record from here to reach 90 winsA significant trade expected before the All-Star break — watch the San Francisco Giants and Robbie RayUpcoming on the ScheduleRays return home — Angels series next (a chance to get the bats going)Mark & Karen heading to Miami to catch the Rays vs. Marlins.

Shane Baz has pitched well in two opportunities against the Rays, but he was actually rewarded with run support this time around. The guys are encouraged by the way Baz seems to be rounding into form.

The Orioles gave up a huge haul of prospects to land Shane Baz this offseason. How do we view that trade at this point? Tony Pente discussed that with Bob Haynie.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner returns with the May 26 edition of What I Bet on the Straight Outta Vegas AM pregame.com podcast feed, covering a critical NHL elimination game and a full 13-game MLB slate in one of the busiest betting days of the early summer. On the ice, Griffin explains why he is not buying the Colorado Avalanche as road favorites against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final. The Avs fell 5-3 in Game 3 and now trail 3-0, with Nathan MacKinnon's knee injury after blocking a shot adding serious uncertainty to Colorado's roster situation. Cale Makar returned from his own upper-body absence but Griffin says he never looked fully himself, and the backhand goal from Tomas Hertl that extended Vegas's lead was the moment that defined the game. Golden Knights minus 102 is his play. On the baseball side, Griffin works through every matchup on the board, starting with the Washington Nationals and Cade Cavalli against the Cleveland Guardians and Joey Cantillo, leaning Cleveland at minus 130. He covers the Tampa Bay Rays and Griffin Jax against a bullpen game, with former Rays righty Shane Baz, now an Oriole, having pitched well against Tampa recently, and finds value in the under on total first five at plus 100. He leans to Keider Montero and the under in Detroit against the Angels and Jack Kochanowicz, backs Boston and Ranger Suarez plus 100 over Spencer Strider and the Braves because Strider still needs to prove his return from elbow surgery is complete, monitors Sandy Alcantara and Miami against the Blue Jays and Braydon Fisher in a bullpen game, and sides with the Mets and David Peterson over the Reds and Chase Burns in a battle where plus money is simply too attractive to ignore. Kyle Harrison has been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball since joining Milwaukee from Boston and Griffin respects him enormously but cannot pay minus 170. He leans under on Cam Schlittler and the Yankees against Kansas City and Bailey Falter after recounting how Lucas Erceg's blown save on a misplaced slider to Anthony Volpe cost him a two-unit win the night before. Joe Ryan and the Twins draw plus money from Sean Burke and the White Sox, making the under on seven and a half the natural lean. The Houston Astros no-hit Texas on Monday and Griffin reads that as a direct statement on how poorly the Rangers have been hitting and how difficult Globe Life Field plays, leaning under against Jack Leiter. Aaron Nola and the Phillies get the nod over Randy Vasquez and the Padres after Vasquez was scratched Monday and slid into Tuesday's spot. Emerson Hancock and Luis Severino shape up as a low-scoring Sacramento game, Eduardo Rodriguez and Tyler Mahle figure to keep it quiet at Oracle Park, and there is simply no case for backing Kyle Freeland and the Rockies at plus 206 in Los Angeles against Eric Lauer's Dodger debut. Griffin's Best Bet is the Pittsburgh Pirates and Braxton Ashcraft at minus 125 over the Cubs and Jordan Wicks, who is making his first big-league start of the season after being recalled from Triple-A Iowa following a stint on the IL.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back after a Memorial Day reset and come loaded for one of the busiest Tuesdays of the spring. The Knicks swept Cleveland and are heading to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, winning 11 straight in the postseason, but the real conversation is Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals where Oklahoma City hosts San Antonio with the series tied two games apiece. With Jalen Williams questionable and AJ Mitchell already ruled out for the Thunder, the market has slid from five and a half down to four and a half, and both hosts land squarely on the under, pointing to San Antonio's scoring trend through the series, OKC's need to slow the game down with a shorter bench, and the defensive intensity both teams have shown in every game after the first. Munaf drills into the second-half total as his preferred bet and flags De'Aaron Fox's rebounds-plus-assists at 9.5 on FanDuel as a prop worth targeting given what Fox has done in his two healthy games this series. From there the guys go deep on eight MLB games. Tampa Bay's Griffin Jax continues his surprising conversion from reliever to starter when the Rays visit Baltimore to face Shane Baz, a matchup that cuts both ways given each pitcher faced the other team in his immediately prior start. Spencer Strider returns to Fenway with Atlanta against Ranger Suarez and the Red Sox in a game both hosts think favors the Braves early and the over late once both bullpens get involved. Chase Burns takes a never-faced-the-Mets edge into Citi Field against David Peterson with Cincinnati firmly in the NL Central race. Cam Schlittler, who owns a 1.04 road ERA and a .139 opponent average on the road this season, faces Bailey Falter in Kansas City in what becomes Dave's best bet, Yankees first five minus a half run. Munaf's best bet is the Cardinals-Brewers under four and a half in the first five innings with Michael McGreevy and Kyle Harrison both in elite form and zero familiarity working in favor of either offense. Jason Alexander goes for Houston in Arlington the night after the Rangers threw a combined no-hitter, with both hosts liking the Texas team total over. Emerson Hancock and Luis Severino bring their home-road split drama to West Sacramento, and Eduardo Rodriguez faces Tyler Mahle at Oracle Park in an over-or-under debate shaped entirely by the park's dimensions and a 22-mile-per-hour wind blowing out.

The Tampa Bay Rays are rolling, Shane Baz trade is looking better by the day, and more!

Shane Baz continues to struggle with consistency this season. His latest issue was some shaky command in last night's loss as he racked up five walks. Ryan Ripken joined the show to talk about that and everything else that went wrong in the series.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. It is Monday, May 4, 2026, and round two of the NBA playoffs is officially underway. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with everything you need to get your week started on the right foot, from series prices and game one spreads to player props and the best Monday MLB slate angles of the early May calendar. The pod opens with a record update that should put a smile on any listener's face, 78 and 53 through May 1, good for 59.5 percent and plus 21.57 units for the life of the show, with April closing strong at 25 and 18 and plus 9.04 units. Friday's best bet on Desmond Bane over 2.5 three-pointers at plus odds cashed, Dave made seven units from Adam Scott on the PGA Tour, and the machine rolls on. The first order of business is the Eastern Conference semifinals opener between the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, a matchup that had both hosts in heavy agreement: the value in this series is with Philly. Dave laid out a sharp argument using the championship futures board, noting that the series price is far tighter than the gap between the Sixers at 40 to 1 and the Knicks at 9 to 1 to win the title would suggest, implying the market is undervaluing Philadelphia at the series level. He also cited the regular-season split, with Philly winning both road games in New York and losing both home games, an ideal setup for a team walking into MSG as a road underdog at plus 220. In Game 1 he likes the Sixers plus 7.5 and the over on the 212.5 total. Munaf came in even hotter, revealing he had grabbed futures tickets on the Sixers to come out of the East at 25 to 1 when they were trailing Boston 3-1, and his case rests heavily on Paul George shooting 55 percent from three-point range in the first round and rookie VJ Edgecombe, who posted 23 points in Game 7 against the Celtics and is playing nothing like a first-year player. Player props discussed include Kelly Oubre Jr. over his points line, Deuce McBride over 1.5 three-pointers at minus 137, and Karl-Anthony Towns at plus 128 to connect on two or more threes. Out west, San Antonio opens as a 13.5-point home favorite against Minnesota and both hosts are fading that number aggressively. Dave noted the Spurs were only 4.5-point home favorites in their most recent regular-season meeting and the historical trend on second-round big favorites against the spread is brutal, 9 and 25 covering just 26 percent of the time since 2016. His player prop of the night is De'Aaron Fox over six assists at minus 144, a near-lock based on Fox's season average and his consistency throughout the Portland series. Anthony Edwards is questionable for Game 1 and both hosts lean toward him sitting out, with Munaf projecting a Wednesday return. The MLB side features Dave's Grand Salami over on a wind-friendly slate, a live Cardinals underdog look against Milwaukee, the Braves rolling despite Ronald Acuna Jr. heading to the IL, and a detailed breakdown of why Shane Baz and the Baltimore bullpen are in serious trouble against the New York Yankees tonight. Dave's featured best bet is Yankees team total over 4.5 runs, backed by a brutal Yankees-versus-Baz history including seven home runs in 48 combined at-bats. Munaf closes with his best bet of the week, Tyrese Maxey over 25.5 points at minus 107 on DraftKings, citing five 30-plus-point games in Maxey's last six matchups against the Knicks.

Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo continued to swing hot bats for the O's last night while Pete Alonso broke out of his funk with a home run. Is this a sign that things are turning around or just fools gold?

Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.

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.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji flies solo on Thursday's Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, opening with a transparent 0-2 recap from Wednesday — the Mariners-Padres under collapsed when San Diego scored five in the ninth to walk it off after trailing six-nothing, and Uncle Dave's Magic team total over fell flat in a defensive second half — before recapping both NBA play-in results from Wednesday night, where the Philadelphia 76ers eliminated the Orlando Magic 109–97 behind 31 points from Tyrese Maxey and strong second-half defensive adjustments that slowed down Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane, advancing to face the Boston Celtics as the seven seed, while the Orlando Magic remain alive for the eight seed through Friday's second-chance game, and Stephen Curry erupted for 35 points on 7-of-12 from three in the second half to lead the Golden State Warriors past the LA Clippers despite an eight-point halftime deficit, with Kawhi Leonard and Darius Garland's strong first half not enough to hold off Curry's takeover, sending the Warriors to face the Phoenix Suns on Friday for the Western Conference eight seed with the winner taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder in round one. Munaf also addresses LaMelo Ball receiving $60,000 in total fines rather than a suspension for his flagrant trip on Bam Adebayo, noting the response would almost certainly have been different with Draymond Green's history attached, and he briefly celebrates A'ja Wilson — the WNBA's first-ever four-time MVP — re-signing with the Las Vegas Aces on a three-year $5 million supermax deal, the largest contract in WNBA history. On the MLB side Munaf walks through early-season trends including Tampa Bay Rays going over in 80 percent of their games, Cleveland Guardians going 7-1 straight up after a loss, and Dodgers going 4-0 after a loss before breaking down three Thursday games: Orioles at Guardians where Parker Messick carries a 0.51 ERA and 0.91 WHIP into his fourth start of the year against Shane Baz; Rockies at Astros where Tomoyuki Sugano has been quietly excellent but faces a Houston lineup Manji trusts at home leading him to the Astros team total over four and a half at minus-115; and Mariners at Padres in the rematch of Wednesday's walk-off thriller where he likes Luis Castillo to bounce back and the Seattle team total over four and a half at plus-105. His best bet for the episode is the Cleveland Guardians money line at minus-127 on BetOnline behind Parker Messick, backed by the Guardians' 7-1 after-a-loss trend and Messick's dominant start to the season.

Steve Adams and Anthony Franco both join Darragh McDonald for an offseason recap, but they first discuss a string of extensions, including Colt Emerson with the Mariners, Cooper Pratt with the Brewers (reported), Shane Baz with the Orioles, Nico Hoerner with the Cubs as well as the terms of the Pete Crow-Armstrong deal. After that, they have a big-picture conversation to recap the offseason and set the table for 2026. Topics include teams being more cautious about signing international free agents, chances of a lockout next year, how TV contracts will play out in the future, the trend of stars taking short-term deals, MLB's untenable financial situation, which teams they expect to be dominant, how PPI has led to earlier call-ups, and the fun that ABS is already providing.

The 2026 MLB season is off to a wild start, and we're breaking down the biggest contract news plus early-season takeaways! The Chicago Cubs locked up two key pieces long-term: Pete Crow-Armstrong (PCA) on a 6-year/$115M extension (no options, buys out two free-agent years — he can hit free agency at age 31, includes assignment bonus if traded, and escalators that can push the total to $133M). They also extended Nico Hoerner on a 6-year/$141M straight deal (no options, $5M signing bonus, $10M deferred — present-day value ~$137.5M) with a full no-trade clause. The Baltimore Orioles secured young starter Shane Baz with a 5-year/$68M straight extension (no options or escalators, no deferred money, buys out two free-agent years, ~$13.6M luxury tax hit with lower salaries early on). Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers inked top shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt to an 8-year/$50M deal (includes two club option years worth ~$15M each). Pratt just debuted at AAA — no MLB timetable yet. Plus, Opening Weekend reactions: Rookies are stealing the show with massive performances from Chase DeLauter, Munetaka Murakami, Owen Caissie, Sal Stewart, JJ Wetherholt, and Kevin McGonigle. Mike Trout looks like his old self and might be back for real. Is Shea Langeliers an early MVP candidate? We also dive into the new Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system — thoughts on the early chaos? Injury updates: Jackson Chourio fractured his left hand (2-4 weeks), and Andrew Vaughn has a hamate bone injury (4-6 weeks). We analyze the contract details, winners/losers, and what it all means for the 2026 season!

Mike Elias did the unthinkable and gave a pitcher an extension, but it wasn't either of the arms you probably expected. Let's dig into what made Shane Baz the pitcher to finally get a long-term commitment from the Orioles. BlueSky YouTube Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Time for a Tuesday edition of Glenn Clark Radio, lots for Glenn and Griffin to cover on the program once again today as we chat all about the Orioles and their series-opening loss to the Texas Rangers last night, Bassitt didn't look sharp and the bats outside of Gunnar Henderson were nowhere to be found, plus we'll likely continue talking hoops and maybe even provide an update from the NFL Owners' meetings where Jesse Minter met with the media earlier today. At 11:20am, we will continue talking baseball with Michael Baumann of Fangraphs, he wrote about Shane Baz extension earlier this week, so we'll get his thoughts on Baz, the O's in general and ABS, too. Then at 11:45am, we are going to switch gears to talk some NFL Draft with our friend, CBS analyst Emory Hunt to get his takeaways on the Ravens and who he'd be targeting at pick 14 if in Baltimore's shoes. All that and much more on a Tuesday edition of GCR!

On this week's episode, we begin by discussing our trip to Oracle Park for opening night of the MLB season, our thoughts on the first Netflix broadcast, how we think ABS has gone so far, and standout performances from the first weekend of baseball. From there, we discuss extensions for Pete Crow-Armstrong ($115 million) and Nico Horner ($141 million) with the Cubs, Cristopher Sanchez ($88 million in new money) with the Phillies, Shane Baz ($68 million) with the Orioles, and Blue Jays GM and Manager Ross Atkins and John Schneider.

Sure, it's a 5-year, $68 million commitment to a starting pitcher who hadn't even thrown a pitch for the Baltimore Orioles, but let Luke Jones and Nestor tell you what makes sense about the dollars that Mike Elias gave new hurler Shane Baz and why it happened now. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Shane Baz contract and risk for Mike Elias and Orioles first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Baseball is officially back and the Orioles are off to a solid start after taking two of three from the Twins in Baltimore. What went right? What went wrong? Paul and Zach give their takes on the season-opening series, as well as their thoughts on the 5 year extension for Shane Baz. Plus, the Orioles do something in game three that they didn't do all last season! That and more on The Bat Around!

Then, he gets into the Jays, their path to a second-straight AL East title, bullpen concerns, and how the industry views offseason additions, Kazuma Okamoto and Dylan Cease. Finally, Jeff and Kevin break down Shane Baz's 5-year extension with the Orioles.

The New Year has come and gone, football season has ended in Baltimore, and Jake and Eric are back to talk some Orioles as we inch closer to pitchers and catchers reporting next month. The guys discuss some of the recent moves made to bolster the Orioles' pitching staff, namely the Shane Baz trade, as well as the re-signing of Zach Eflin to a one year, $10 million dollar deal. The guys discuss what the next big move could be (if there is one made), such as the rumored signing of on of Ranger Suarez, or Framber Valdez. They also go over some of arbitration deals that were reached (as well as the two that weren't) ahead of the deadline to send a potential agreement to a hearing. Finally, the grab bag is opened up to discuss some light topics like the upcoming Birdland Caravan schedule, and some fun additions to the giveaway schedule. Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll be back at you very soon!

Ben Lindbergh, Craig Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus, and Joe Sheehan of The Joe Sheehan Baseball Newsletter break down teams’ last-minute Christmas shopping—including the White Sox signing Munetaka Murakami, the Padres signing Michael King and Sung Mun Song, the Orioles trading for Shane Baz, the Red Sox trading for Willson Contreras, a three-team trade involving the Pirates, Rays, and Astros, Jeff McNeil and Matt Strahm swaps, and the Yankees’ hibernation—plus banter about the quasi-retirement of Craig’s nemesis, Joe Kelly, the future of NPB, a report about Emmanuel Clase’s mid-game phone use, and supporting independent media. Then (1:11:40) they conduct an in-depth debate about the respective merits of human umpiring, the challenge system, and full ABS.
