We also talk about Bill Lawrence's Rooster—especially a very funny episode three—and Steve Carell's performance. Then we break down DTF St. Louis episode four, “Missouri Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company,” focusing on Carol's financial stress, her new umpiring job, and Floyd's anxieties and desire to provide for Richard, including private school plans. We highlight the surprisingly sweet (and tragic) Floyd-Clark friendship weekend, the catchy Beastie Boys-style rap, and clues that lead the detectives to a mailbox store and a $1.1 million life insurance policy naming Carol.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner are red hot in MLB betting. The guys preview the entire Wednesday MLB Playoff card. They also give out more winning best bets. Introduction: Host (Manaf Manji): Introduces the podcast (0:09) and explains a scheduling change allowing for discussions on all four MLB playoff series (0:09-0:51). Griffin Warner: Acknowledges a profitable playoff season, reflecting on the regular season's success (0:52-1:08). Discussion Highlights: Orioles vs. Royals (0:27): Manaf: Mentions Griffin's prediction on the under for the Orioles-Royals series, highlighting a dominant Royals pitching performance that limited the Orioles to three total runs. Griffin: Notes the Royals advanced without any overs, indicating the defensive strength that helped the Royals (1:25-1:26). Impact of Home Field & Umpiring: Griffin: Discusses the significance of home-field advantage, mentioning all series being tied 1-1. He emphasizes the challenge for teams with no extra-innings games played thus far, noting the importance of "last at bats" and competent umpires (2:55-4:06). Umpiring is critical, with Griffin noting that umpires are calling more strikes than usual, making it harder to score runs. Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians (Game 3 Prediction): Pitcher Analysis: Detroit's pitching strategy, led by Bo Brisky, is likely to challenge the Guardians, who rely on Alex Cobb, who hasn't pitched in a postseason game since 2013 (4:54-9:48). Griffin: Suggests the Tigers have an advantage with AJ Hinch's managerial experience and bullpen depth. Manaf: Underscores Cobb's long gap between playoff appearances and suggests that the Tigers' ability to string hits together could carry them through. Phillies vs. Mets (Game 4 Prediction): Mets Confidence: The Mets lead the series 2-1, and Griffin discusses their momentum and superior bullpen despite flaws (12:36-14:51). Player Performance: Manaf highlights the strong recent performances of Mets' pitcher Jose Quintana and Phillies' Ranger Suarez during the regular season. Quintana's solid 7-inning shutout against the Phillies is noted (14:52-17:25). Both predict a low-scoring game, favoring the under in the first five innings. Yankees vs. Royals (Game 3 Prediction): Griffin: Expresses skepticism about the Yankees' ability to win on the road, emphasizing the importance of playoff baseball strategies like aggressive baserunning (stealing bases) and capitalizing on every opportunity (17:26-22:16). Manaf: Points out the underwhelming postseason performance of Aaron Judge, particularly his high strikeout rate (21:02-22:15). Both lean toward betting on the Royals and another under bet due to the tight defense and pitchers' performance. Dodgers vs. Padres (Game 4 Prediction): Griffin: Stresses the significance of the Dodgers' struggling pitching rotation, with Landon Knack stepping in due to key injuries (26:36-31:26). He expects a high-scoring game but predicts that the Padres' strong bullpen will help them close the series. Manaf: Agrees, predicting early runs and suggesting a first five innings bet on the over as the best strategy. Betting Advice and Best Bets: Griffin's Best Bet: Tigers to win at home, citing a mismatch between Cobb's long layoff and the Tigers' efficient bullpen management (32:06-32:55). Manaf's Best Bet: Under four runs in the first five innings of the Phillies-Mets game, betting on solid starting pitching from Quintana and Suarez (32:55-34:37). Conclusion: The episode ends with a reflection on the successful season, with Griffin and Manaf thanking their listeners and promoting a pregame.com discount (34:37-36:19).
