Toronto has won three straight games, sits just 1.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot, and is beginning to make the race toward the trade deadline a whole lot more interesting. On game preview 95 of Flight Deck, hosted by Cody Gaudreault, we break down another impressive Blue Jays victory, headlined by Kazuma Okamoto's historic night. The rookie slugger tied Shohei Ohtani's record for the most home runs by a Japanese-born rookie, while also setting a new Blue Jays rookie franchise record. Is Okamoto putting together one of the greatest rookie seasons in franchise history? We'll also discuss another encouraging outing from Shane Bieber. While he's still searching for his best form, Toronto's bullpen once again slammed the door, continuing what's become one of the club's biggest strengths this season. Looking ahead, Trey Yesavage takes the mound against Walker Buehler in the series finale. We'll dive into what's changed for Yesavage this season, why his splitter hasn't been nearly as dominant as it was in 2025, and what adjustments could unlock another level for the young right-hander. Finally, is this team forcing Ross Atkins to become a buyer at the trade deadline? And the Blue Jays selecting Cole Carlon with the 39th overall pick in the MLB Draft. We finish with Cody's picks presented by bet365. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Toronto Blue Jays at San Diego Padres by Tony T. Pitching Matchup Analysis Trey Yesavage enters with an above-average strikeout rate, elevated walk risk, a fly-ball-leaning batted-ball mix. His 3.31 ERA and 1.08 WHIP summarize the results, while the 0.9 home runs allowed per nine innings figure identifies how much damage has come through the air. Walker Buehler counters with a moderate strikeout rate, manageable but meaningful walk exposure, a ground-ball lean. His 5.07 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 1.1 HR/9 provide the baseline for comparing traffic, missing bats and extra-base-hit risk.

The New York Yankees rotation took a massive hit as left-hander Carlos Rodón was placed on the injured list with severe elbow inflammation, projecting an absence that will stretch into mid-August. Corey Pieper breaks down a devastating AL East injury timeline, shifting league discipline, crucial backend bullpen targets, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The transaction wire is hyperactive heading into the All-Star break as Cade Cavalli's suspension has officially been reduced to 5 games on appeal, allowing him to begin serving his time immediately. Meanwhile, Patrick Sandoval has been fully reinstated from the injured list, and George Springer has returned to the team from family medical leave, though he remained out of the starting lineup in his first game back. Roster managers must track a highly volatile day of performances that featured Tyler Tolbert exploding for a perfect 5-for-5 game with a home run, while modern juggernauts Shohei Ohtani and Matt Olson continued their steady power surges, alongside dynamic offensive showings from James Wood, Curtis Mead, CJ Abrams, Jose Caballero, Juan Soto, and Heliot Ramos. On the mound, Cam Schlittler delivered a masterful 8-inning, 8-strikeout gem, Landen Roupp turned in an 8-inning showcase of his own, and Brandon Pfaadt tossed 5 scoreless frames. Conversely, it was a historical implosion for frontline starters: Cristopher Sanchez collapsed for 9 earned runs in just 3.1 innings, Mike Burrows surrendered 10 total runs, and veteran arms Kevin Gausman and Walker Buehler were hammered for a combined 11 earned runs. Offensively, Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, and Jonathan Aranda bottomed out with matching, empty 0-for-4, 3-strikeout nights. The Bullpen Report provides essential waiver-wire clarity, highlighting Tyler Wells ramping up in Baltimore, Jacob Webb securing the most recent save for the Cubs, and Emilio Pagan making his return to Cincinnati. We also review a rough outing for Raisel Iglesias and why Yankees high-leverage option Luke Weaver needs to be universally owned right now.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open a new week on Cash That Ticket with a jam packed Monday show covering a loaded MLB slate and the next big NFL win total heading into the season. Coming off a one and one showing on Friday's Best Bet feature, the guys look to get back on track with the All Star break just around the corner, and Dave checks in from Florida after a weekend where both of his biggest bets cashed. The two dive straight into the Monday card, breaking down a huge AL East clash between the Yankees and Rays, weighing Cam Schlittler's uneven recent form against Griffin Jax's ability to limit hard contact, with both hosts ultimately siding with Tampa Bay. From there they turn to the Astros and Nationals, working through shaky recent outings from both starters before landing on Washington's offense as the more trustworthy side, all while flagging an interesting reverse line movement in the marketplace. The Mets and Braves closing out their series in Atlanta gets a full breakdown too, with a first five inning angle drawing plenty of attention alongside Atlanta's strong history bouncing back after a loss. Milwaukee and St Louis bring a classic market versus gut debate, and the Diamondbacks and Padres matchup closes the featured card with a deep look at Walker Buehler's dominant career history against Arizona. The guys also squeeze in quick hits on the late West Coast slate involving the Giants, Blue Jays, Rockies, and Dodgers before shifting gears entirely into football. The next NFL win total on the board belongs to the Minnesota Vikings, sitting at eight and a half games, and the hosts spend real time on the team's rotating quarterback situation from a season ago, the arrival of Kyler Murray, and what a retooled defense means for the ceiling of this roster heading into the year. Dave offers an unusually honest look at his own skepticism toward Murray before landing on the over, and Munaf builds the case further with a breakdown of the schedule and the coaching staff's track record of getting the most out of its quarterbacks. Before wrapping up, the guys remind listeners about the FIREWORKS12 promo code still active on pregame.com for picks packages through the end of the night, covering weekend, thirty day all access, and early bird NFL options as the calendar turns toward August. The show closes out with best bets from both hosts, one built around a National League East divisional matchup in the first five innings and another anchored by a proven veteran arm on the mound in San Diego, before the two preview tomorrow's show, which will dig into the Pittsburgh Steelers win total along with another full day of baseball. Whether you are looking for sharp MLB matchup analysis, an early read on next season's NFL win totals, or just want to hear two seasoned handicappers work through their thinking in real time, this episode delivers a complete and detailed breakdown of everything moving the betting markets on a busy Monday in July.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner returns to the What I Bet show on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a stacked Friday, June 26, 2026, pairing a decisive World Cup group stage with a complete Major League Baseball board. With two matches per group kicking off at the same time until the round of 32 arrives, Griffin moves group by group through every total, line move, and side worth a look, starting with a chaotic backdrop, the United States exit after two wins and a clinched group, and Turkey finally scoring a goal at the death after two blank matches. He breaks down Norway against France, both through on six points and chasing the group win, leaning to Norway plus one behind Erling Haaland out of Manchester City while noting Kylian Mbappé under scrutiny at Real Madrid for his defensive work, a wrinkle that pushes Griffin toward the under. He covers Iraq and Senegal, both reeling on zero points, with Senegal a major disappointment behind an aging backline despite strong goalkeeping from Mendy, and he criticizes the structure that advances eight third place teams as a quick shot at FIFA. He digs into Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde, praising the Cape Verde side as tournament darlings after draws with Uruguay and a goalless result against Spain, and lays out the under two and a quarter to two and a half range. He frames Uruguay against Spain as the marquee pairing, liking Uruguay plus one and the under while watching Darwin Núñez search for form under aggressive manager Marcelo Bielsa, with a caveat that Spain can crack the game open. He leans firmly under in the Iran and Egypt pride match in Seattle, and closes the soccer card by fading a flat Belgium golden generation while liking New Zealand and the under. Then the baseball begins. Griffin walks through Andrew Abbott against Paul Skenes in Pittsburgh, Spencer Arrighetti at Keider Montero in Detroit, Andrew Alvarez against Trevor Rogers in a Nationals and Orioles tilt, Nathan Eovaldi opposite former Ranger Patrick Corbin in Toronto, Will Warren versus rookie Payton Tolle at Fenway where his strongest lean is under eight and a half, Luis Castillo against Joey Cantillo in Cleveland with the Guardians at minus 108, Zac Gallen drawing Nick Martinez, Colin Rea against the electric Jacob Misiorowski in Milwaukee, Tomoyuki Sugano in a high total at Minnesota, Max Meyer opposite Michael McGreevy in St. Louis where he trusts the pitching toward under eight, JT Ginn against Walbert Ureña in Anaheim where he likes the plus 112 home underdog, and Roki Sasaki facing Walker Buehler in a tiny San Diego number he leans over. Bryce Miller, George Kirby, Bryan Woo, and José Ramírez all enter the rotation conversation along the way. Save money at pregame.com with promo code HIT15, that is Hotel India Tango 15, for 15 percent off anything on the website, good through July 6th, plenty of time to grab the World Cup and baseball packages.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres by Tony T. Start Time and TV 9:45 PM ET — Apple TV Starting Pitchers Los Angeles starts right-hander Roki Sasaki. Sasaki has made 13 appearances and 13 starts with a 4.76 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. His strikeout rate is 24.1%, walk rate is 8.6%, ground-ball rate is 45.0%, and home runs allowed rate is 1.7 HR/9. San Diego starts right-hander Walker Buehler. Buehler has made 15 appearances and 15 starts with a 3.96 ERA and 1.32 WHIP.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji hosts a solo edition of Cash That Ticket on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, working through a loaded sports night that includes Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals and a six-game MLB Wednesday slate packed with elite starting pitching matchups. Co-host Dave Essler sent in detailed pregame notes that Munaf reads and builds upon throughout the episode, producing a collaborative breakdown even without Dave in the booth. The show opens with a recap of Tuesday, where the under in the first five innings of the Brewers and Giants game cashed behind Kyle Harrison's career-high 12-strikeout performance for Milwaukee, though the Cubs team total over did not survive Chicago's one-run first inning and subsequent silence. The show stands three and one on best bets for the month of June. On the NBA Finals, Munaf discusses tonight's Game 1 in San Antonio with the Spurs as four-and-a-half point home favorites over the Knicks at a total of 218.5. Rather than chasing the historical Game 1 under trend, he prefers the second half over around 105.5, reasoning that first-game rust and jitters will suppress scoring early before both teams open up. The Knicks arrive with eight days of rest following their sweep of Cleveland while the Spurs are three days removed from a Game 7 win over Oklahoma City that was aided by the injury absences of Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell. Munaf singles out OG Anunoby as his Game 1 player prop, taking him over 15.5 points at minus 115 on DraftKings, and identifies Dylan Harper as the Spurs' most critical secondary contributor beyond Victor Wembanyama. Stephon Castle's ability to contain Jalen Brunson and Landry Shamet's timely three-point shooting off the Knicks bench are highlighted as key series variables to watch. On the MLB side, the episode covers six matchups in detail. In Philadelphia, Christopher Sanchez continues his Cy Young-caliber run against Walker Buehler and the Padres, with both Munaf and Dave aligning on the first five innings under and the Phillies run line. At Fenway, Chris Bassett's brutal road splits, including an 8.02 ERA in five away starts, make the Red Sox team total over in the first five innings an attractive play at minus 110 on DraftKings. In New York, Gerrit Cole's third start back from Tommy John surgery against Gavin Williams and the Guardians produces Munaf's official best bet of the night, the Yankees first five innings run line at minus half a run, plus 115 on Bet Online, backed by Cole's 13-3 career record against Cleveland and his flawless return. In Cincinnati, Chase Burns at 7-1 with a 1.96 ERA takes on Stephen Kolek and the Royals, with Munaf structuring a synthetic minus-one play by splitting units across the moneyline and run line. In Atlanta, the Braves run line against Patrick Corbin and the Blue Jays is the clear lean given Atlanta's consistent dominance against left-handed pitching and their habit of winning at home by multiple runs. The episode closes with the Pirates and Astros game featuring Paul Skenes against Spencer Arrighetti, which both Munaf and Dave agree is the best pitching matchup on the slate and produces Uncle Dave's official best bet, the first five innings under four.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. Griffin Warner is back with a fully loaded Wednesday edition of What I Bet Best Bet, delivering picks across three sports on one of the most action-packed single days of the sports calendar. The episode opens with the UEFA Conference League Final in Leipzig, Germany, where Crystal Palace of the English Premier League takes on Rayo Vallecano of La Liga in the biggest European match either club has ever played. Crystal Palace enters as a half-goal favorite on a neutral pitch, but Griffin makes a pointed case for Rayo at plus-half-goal, arguing that the line overvalues Palace on a neutral site where a draw through ninety minutes or any result in extra time still cashes the Rayo side. The under two and a quarter is also in play as line movement from minus 135 to minus 148 signals sharp money flowing to the low-scoring side. Griffin traces the fascinating managerial backstory, connecting Rayo boss Inigo Perez to Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola and explaining how Brexit work permit rules sent Perez back to Vallecas instead of England, where he built one of the more compelling underdog runs in recent European football. From there, Griffin pivots to the NHL Eastern Conference Final, where Carolina leads Montreal two games to one after back-to-back overtime wins. Griffin remains a Canadiens believer, takes Montreal plus 127 at home in the largest arena in the NHL, and outlines a total strategy of waiting for the line to climb from five and a half to six before buying the under for push protection. The bulk of the episode covers the full 14-game Major League Baseball Wednesday slate, running through every matchup from the Toronto-Miami matinee with Kevin Gausman against Eury Perez to the massive Dodgers-Rockies nightcap featuring Shohei Ohtani against Tomoyuki Sugano. Griffin leans heavily on Christopher Sanchez as a total trust play against Walker Buehler in San Diego, backs the Twins over the White Sox despite Chicago's surprising market momentum, eyes the Sacramento ballpark factor in Mariners-Athletics, and still believes in the Tampa Bay Rays moving forward after Griffin Jax's line drive injury derailed Tuesday's start. The episode closes with Griffin's Best Bet of the day: Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees under nine runs, backing Garrett Cole to deal efficiently in just his second start back from Tommy John surgery while giving genuine credit to Noah Cameron as a left-hander the market consistently undervalues.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Wednesday, April 22, 2026 on Cash That Ticket, Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Esler open a loaded episode fresh off a two-and-oh best bet night, with Jrue Holiday delivering for Portland and the Celtics-Sixers under cashing in a tightly contested Game 2 that evened the Eastern Conference series heading back to Philadelphia. The big injury news from Tuesday night centers on Victor Wembanyama, who went down hard in the second quarter against Portland after hitting his chin on the floor and has been placed in the NBA's concussion protocol, a development both hosts expect to cost him at minimum Games 3 and 4 of the Spurs-Blazers series and one that will reshape betting lines across the Western Conference bracket as the week progresses. Over in the Lakers-Rockets series, Munaf and Dave dig into why a short-handed Los Angeles team is up 2-0 on Houston, crediting LeBron James and an unexpected backcourt of Luke Kennard and Marcus Smart, who combined for 48 points in Game 2 while Kevin Durant finished with nine turnovers and just three second-half points despite being the more heralded star in the matchup. The depth of the analysis on Game 2 between Orlando and Detroit is where this episode really locks in, with Dave identifying the matchup problem Detroit faces against a Magic team that has size, length, and balance in their starting five, while Munaf breaks down the free throw disparity, the paint differential, and the realistic expectation of positive shooting regression from Desmond Bane and Jalen Suggs, who combined to go 4-of-18 from three in Game 1 while Cade Cunningham accounted for nearly 39 percent of the Pistons' entire offensive output on his own. Both hosts land on Orlando plus 8.5 with Munaf adding the money line as a secondary consideration, and neither would be shocked to see the eight seed leave Detroit with a 2-0 series lead. The Oklahoma City Thunder discussion arrives at the same conclusion via a different path, with Dave and Munaf breaking down why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 25 points on 5-of-18 shooting in a blowout win tells you everything you need to know about the talent gap between the defending champions and a Phoenix Suns team whose three best offensive players combined for seven total assists in Game 1. Dave targets the Suns team total under and the Thunder in the first quarter, while Munaf rides the Thunder team total over 116.5, reasoning that Oklahoma City can hit that number while still pulling their starters in the fourth. The MLB segment covers a full Wednesday card headlined by Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the Dodgers against the Giants, Max Fried facing Ranger Suárez in a Yankees-Red Sox clash at Fenway, Walker Buehler looking to extend his comeback against Colorado, and a Mets team that has now dropped twelve straight games, prompting dark comedy and real sympathy in equal measure. Dave's best bet is the Mets-Twins first five innings under 4.5, built around a young Minnesota arm named Pryor who has elite strikeout numbers in the minors and faces a Mets lineup that has been historically quiet. Munaf's best bet is the Cade Cunningham PRA over 45.5 at minus 108 on DraftKings, banking on guaranteed usage, shot volume, and multi-category production from the Pistons' only reliable offensive weapon in what amounts to a must-not-lose Game 2.
