Then (1:11:40) they conduct an in-depth debate about the respective merits of human umpiring, the challenge system, and full ABS.

Other topics include the recent Shane Baz trade, whether the Rays plan on competing in 2026, why the Orioles gave up so much to acquire Baz, what led Munetaka Murakami to settle for a two-year deal with the White Sox, the Cardinals trading Willson Contreras to the Red Sox, whether Boston will sign a big free agent, Michael King's three-year deal with the Padres, and the Mets sending Jeff McNeil to the A's.

On this week's episode, we begin by discussing this week's big free agent deals, including Merrill Kelly, Ha-Seong Kim, and Michael King re-upping with the Diamondbacks, Braves, and Padres, and Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami shockingly ending up with the White Sox. From there, we give our thoughts Wilson Contreras being moved to the Red Sox, recap the three-team trade between the Astros, Rays, and Pirates that saw Brandon Lowe and Michael Burrows on the move, and analyze Shane Baz being moved to the Orioles. To wrap up, we go through a trio of Phillies moves, the Giants adding Adrian Houser, and Team UA loading up their rotation.

Baltimore Orioles beat reporter Matt Weyrich from The Baltimore Sun visits the Jack Vita Show to chat about the O's highly active offseason. The Orioles are making quick work of the offseason. The club signed former New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso to a five-year, $155 million contract, the richest free agent deal in franchise history. The O's patched up their bullpen, inking closer Ryan Helsley to a two-year, $28 million deal. Baltimore has also been very active in the trade market. Last month, the club dealt promising young pitcher Grayson Rodriguez to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for outfielder Taylor Ward, in a rare, one-for-one trade. Then, the club turned around and acquired pitching, trading prospects Slater de Brun, Caden Bodine, Michael Forret, Austin Overn, and a Competitive Balance Round A draft pick to the Tampa Bay Rays for starting pitcher Shane Baz. Matt is here to break it all down with Jack, discussing how the Alonso deal came to fruition, and how the O's lineup stacks up with him and Taylor Ward in it. Full transparency, this episode was taped before the Orioles acquired Baz, so Jack and Matt discuss how they expect the O's to address their starting pitching needs this winter. Can Orioles fans expect their team to add another high-profile starting pitcher before Spring Training? Later, Matt celebrates his James Madison Dukes' playoff berth. Matt is a 2019 graduate of JMU and never thought he'd see the day that his school would be participating in the College Football Playoff. Matt and Jack talk about the College Football Playoff system, and discuss how things shook out this year. All this, and so much more, only on the Jack Vita Show!

The offseason continues to take shape, and Episode 125 of Tablesetters brings together a week where the market didn't explode — but it definitely shifted. We open with Munetaka Murakami landing with the White Sox, a short-term signing that reflects how teams are weighing upside against risk and flexibility. It's a move that raises questions about fit, timeline, and what both sides are really betting on as Murakami makes the jump to MLB. From there, the trade market comes into focus. Brandon Lowe heads to Pittsburgh, a deal that signals intent without locking the Pirates into long-term risk. At the same time, Baltimore adds Shane Baz, continuing to behave like a team that believes its competitive window is very real — and very open. Those moves create ripple effects elsewhere. The Rays once again load up on future assets, the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks monitor the Alex Bregman market, and San Diego opts for continuity, keeping Michael King in the fold while adding Sung-Mun Song. We also touch on Kansas City's bullpen move, another reminder of how aggressively teams are trying to solve late-inning depth. We wrap with listener interaction, breaking down the latest USA First Base debate, where the results were decisive — and revealing in terms of how our audience value upside, age, and track record heading into the next international cycle. Steve and Devin connect the dots across signings, trades, and market behavior, keeping the focus on process over headlines as the offseason continues to evolve. ⚾️ Measured bets, shifting leverage, and trade dominoes starting to fall — winter baseball is officially underway.
Welcome into a Monday edition of Glenn Clark Radio, unfortunately an unpleasant welcome with the Ravens season now on life support following a sour 28-24 loss to the Patriots and taking a franchise-record sixth home loss, third in primetime. We'll go over it all, where we go from here, what the future of the Ravens could look like and discuss where all the blame should go and hear from Harbaugh, Lamar and more on what the heck happened yesterday and this season. The boys will dish out their Slaps to the Helmet, and we'll discuss the Orioles trade they made Friday afternoon dealing a prospect package to Tampa for SP Shane Baz. We'll continue talking Ravens however at 11:20am when we check in with our friend Mike Golic Jr., NFL Analyst and from the Golic & Golic Show on Fanduel Sports Network as we get his thoughts on the Ravens, who to place the blame on and where we go from here with very little chance of the Ravens making the postseason. At 11:40am, we will switch gears to talk baseball and head down to Tampa Bay to talk about Shane Baz and break down the acquisition of the newest Oriole. All that and much more on a Monday edition of GCR…

The Orioles swung another trade with the Tampa Bay Rays, breaking the convention of not trading with your division rivals for the third time in as many years. This time young righty Shane Baz has been added to the rotation. The Orioles gave up a number of intriguing prospects, four in total, and a Competitive Balance Round A pick. But, they have added 3 years of high heat and hard curveballs. BlueSky Twitter YouTube Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Shane Baz aparece en la primera página de las estadísticas de pitchers de las mayores. Perdonen, pero son 25 los que salen en esa tabla y Baz es el 24. Lanzó 166.1 siendo el pitcher Nº 42 en entradas lanzadas en 2025. Su ERA no es para echar cohetes porque al final fue de 4.87 pero tomemos en cuenta que el año pasado jugaron en un estadio de entrenamiento ahí al lado del aeropuerto internacional de Tampa. Lanzando de local, Baz tuvo una ERA de 5.90 con 82.1 entradas lanzadas. Pero de visitante, jugando en estadios de grandes ligas, su ERA bajó hasta 3.86 habiendo lanzado 84 entradas. ¿A que no se ven tan mal los números de Shane Baz ahora?

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 4-0 loss in the series finale vs. the Rays. They take your calls and texts, and get right to the lack of offence against Shane Baz - is this just a blip or are there larger trends to be worried about? Is there concern about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.? They discuss Chris Bassitt' 4.1 IP allowing three earned runs - what's the level of confidence in Bassitt as the playoffs approach? Plus, they get into the starters for the coming series vs. the Royals, and discuss Anthony Santander smashing a home run for the Bisons - when could he return?

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

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner preview MLB Tuesday betting schedule is packed with sharp betting opportunities and valuable matchups for bettors seeking an edge. This expert MLB betting analysis breaks down key games, highlighting top MLB moneyline picks, underdog plays, and totals worth considering. We begin north of the border with the Blue Jays hosting the Yankees on Canada Day. Despite Kevin Gausman's recent struggles versus New York, the Jays offer home underdog value. Max Fried has been in elite form, but Griffin Warner leans Toronto while Munaf Manji prefers the under. In Philadelphia, Nick Pivetta takes the mound for the Padres against Christopher Sanchez and the Phillies. Pivetta's elite stuff and the Padres' superior bullpen provide value, leading both hosts to side with the under and the Padres. Paul Skenes Day in Pittsburgh raises red flags as he's lost four straight to the Cardinals despite quality outings. Both experts prefer St. Louis plus money and favor the under, citing the Pirates' inconsistency and the Cardinals' strong bullpen. In Miami, Joe Ryan's dominance makes the Twins a solid first five play against the streaking Marlins. Edward Cabrera's walk issues and a volatile Twins bullpen push Munaf to target early betting value and the under. The Tigers and Nationals offer one of the day's best over spots. With Jack Flaherty and Trevor Williams both unreliable and Detroit trending 12-1 to the over in road series openers, both hosts lock in on the over 9.5. In Tampa, the surging Rays send Shane Baz against Jeffrey Springs and the A's. Tampa's hot June offense and Baz's recent dominance make them a clear moneyline and team total over pick. The Brewers are Griffin's top play as Freddy Peralta faces Clay Holmes and the sliding Mets. Milwaukee is red hot, while New York struggles late in games. Munaf highlights Peralta's spotless record vs. the Mets and backs the plus money. In Boston, the Reds look to rebound after a wild series opener. With Richard Fitz struggling, Griffin and Munaf support the Reds moneyline and game over. The Angels and Braves offer another over candidate with Tyler Anderson and Grant Holmes on the mound in a hitter-friendly park. Atlanta's power and Anderson's road overs make this a strong target for runs. In Arlington, Jacob deGrom's excellence anchors a Rangers first five run line play against Baltimore's shaky Brandon Young. With a low park run profile, the full game under also draws interest. The Cubs host a reeling Guardians squad that can't hit lefties, making Matthew Boyd and the under strong leans. Griffin notes Cleveland's ugly error stats and poor bullpen. The Astros visit the Rockies in Coors Field with Houston sending a lefty against a team that's 1-13 at home vs. LHP. Over 11 and Astros run line stand out. In Arizona, the Giants are a live dog with Hayden Birdsong facing the struggling Zac Gallen. With the D-backs' bullpen decimated, Munaf leans Giants team total over and game over. Seattle's pitcher-friendly environment makes Royals-Mariners a tough call, but under 8 has value despite weak starters Lorenzen and Hancock. Finally, the Dodgers host the White Sox in a mismatch. Yoshinobu Yamamoto's recent dip doesn't deter confidence, and Dodgers team total over is the clearest angle. Griffin and Munaf close with best bets: Griffin on the Brewers ML and Reds ML, Munaf on Tigers/Nats Over and Rangers first five run line. Together they offer sharp insights and valuable MLB betting predictions for Tuesday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
