Podcasts about Washington Nationals

Hosts unpack the Washington Nationals' chaotic trade deadline frenzy, analyzing the trades of All-Star Foster Griffin and slugger Luis Garcia Jr. for a massive haul of young pitchers. The crew debates whether front office chief Paul Toboni is executing a savvy long-term rebuild or if ownership is simply unwilling to pay top talent.

8.4.26, Kevin Sheehan gives his thoughts on the moves the Nationals made prior to the MLB trade deadline and how disappointing the approach was.

8.4.26, Tobi Altizer from 106.7 The Fan joins The Kevin Sheehan Show to break down the moves the Nationals made prior to the MLB trade deadline and how these moves will help the team on their push to hopefully make the playoffs, then goes into what he has observed while at the Commanders training camp.

8.3.26, Jesse Dougherty from NOTUS joins The Kevin Sheehan Show to break down the big trade from the Nationals over the weekend, where they traded Luis Garcia to New York for four pitchers, and how this trade will impact the team going forward.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Monday. Trade deadline day arrives in the middle of a full Major League Baseball slate, and Griffin Warner spends this episode walking through every game on the board while the deadline itself keeps shifting the ground under several starting pitchers. He opens by noting that the Washington Nationals had already begun trading away pieces in the days before, a familiar pattern for a club that has repeatedly sold off talent once a playoff push stops looking realistic, and that the San Diego Padres spent the weekend as one of the league's biggest question marks, with starter Michael King's turn in the rotation pushed from Sunday to Monday amid persistent trade speculation. At 02:00 Griffin opens with the St. Louis Cardinals traveling to face the New York Yankees, where Michael McGreevy starts on the road opposite Cam Schlittler, New York opening as a minus 193 favorite with St. Louis getting plus 174 and the total sitting at seven and a half at even money in both directions. He questions whether McGreevy's soft contact approach can hold up in a small ballpark and leans to the under on the full game and the first five innings. At 03:17 the card shifts to Pittsburgh, where Pirates prospect Bubba Chandler starts on the road against a Milwaukee Brewers club still working with the return from trading ace Freddy Peralta, whose rights moved again to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, and Griffin says the plus 125 underdog price on Chandler is not enough for him while he leans the total toward the over given his doubts about Pittsburgh's bullpen. At 04:02 he covers the Los Angeles Dodgers sending Justin Wrobleski to Chicago to face Matthew Boyd and the Cubs, liking the plus 116 home underdog price on Boyd given the travel the Dodgers faced after Sunday night baseball. At 04:48 he previews Logan Webb and the San Francisco Giants on the road against Cal Quantrill and the Texas Rangers in Arlington, saying he does not trust San Francisco as a minus 107 road favorite and would only get involved if the Giants were available as an underdog with plus money. At 05:49 he breaks down Shane Bieber and the Toronto Blue Jays traveling to face Cristian Javier and the Houston Astros, noting that Bieber himself could be traded before the deadline closes and calling the minus 129 price on Houston a little cheap given how well Javier has pitched out of the bullpen. At 06:19 he covers the Tampa Bay Rays sending Ian Seymour to Colorado to face Michael Lorenzen and the Rockies, expecting Colorado to score plenty while staying away from the over given his concerns about the Rays bullpen holding up its end. At 06:49 he closes the game breakdown with the Padres traveling to Arizona, where Brandon Pfaadt is a minus 110 favorite for the Diamondbacks, saying that price seems cheap and that he leans toward the over on the total and toward Arizona at home, especially if Michael King is unavailable to start for San Diego. At 08:06 Griffin directs listeners to Pregame.com and promo code HIT50 for fifty dollars off his Major League Baseball second half all access package, discounted from three hundred forty nine dollars to two hundred ninety nine dollars for the rest of the season through the World Series, noting the package has been up twenty four units during the current promotional window and has run north of thirty units at points this season. He wraps the episode at 09:07 with his best bet, acknowledging a loss last time out on Cleveland against Arizona before landing on Houston Astros minus 129 over the Toronto Blue Jays as the play he trusts most on a trade deadline day card shaped as much by roster uncertainty as by the numbers themselves.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the month of August by reacting to the biggest move of trade deadline day before working through a full Monday baseball card and unveiling their next NFL win total on the Houston Texans. At 00:00 Munaf sets the stage for a busy trade deadline session, and at 01:53 the pair discusses Tarik Skubal moving from the Detroit Tigers to the Los Angeles Dodgers, a trade that pushed Los Angeles' World Series odds from roughly plus 175 down to plus 150. At 02:39 they preview the Nationals hosting the Phillies, where Trevor Williams starts opposite Aaron Nola just after Philadelphia added Luis Arraez to play second base, with Dave leaning toward the Nationals team total over three and a half runs given Nola's bloated recent numbers and Munaf backing the same direction with a strong seasonal over trend for Washington. At 06:37 they turn to the Cardinals visiting the Yankees, where Michael McGreevy faces Cam Schlittler, with both hosts leaning toward the under given New York's heavy favorite price and Schlittler's strong road splits. At 09:48 they cover the Pirates at the Brewers, with Bubba Chandler opposing Brandon Sproat, both hosts landing on the Pittsburgh team total over given Sproat's control issues. At 13:13 they preview the Dodgers at the Cubs, Justin Wrobleski against Matthew Boyd, with Dave taking Chicago at plus money and Munaf citing a profitable trend fading teams on the road the day after Sunday night baseball. At 16:30 they break down the Padres at the Diamondbacks, Michael King against Brandon Pfaadt, with Dave siding with Arizona at a cheap price while Munaf prefers San Diego given King's strong history against this opponent. At 20:17 they run through quick hits on the Giants at the Rangers, the Blue Jays at the Astros with Shane Bieber and Cristian Javier, and the Rays at the Rockies with Ian Seymour and Michael Lorenzen, flagging Colorado's hot home scoring trend. At 23:07 the conversation shifts to football, where Munaf and Dave unveil the Houston Texans win total of nine and a half, discussing a defense built around Will Anderson Jr., Danielle Hunter, Derek Stingley Jr., Reed Blankenship, and the returning Jadeveon Clowney, along with questions about the offensive line protecting C.J. Stroud and the additions of David Montgomery and Woody Marks in the backfield, ultimately landing on the over. At 31:41 Munaf shares a promo code for Pregame.com, RBI50, good for fifty dollars off the Major League Baseball second half all access package through the World Series. The episode closes at 33:03 with best bets, Dave taking the Washington Nationals team total over three and a half runs and Munaf going with the Rays and Rockies first five innings over six, wrapping a trade deadline day that reshaped several rosters and a season-opening look at one of the league's most anticipated teams heading into the fall.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler close out July with a full slate of MLB betting breakdowns and the next installment of their NFL win total tour on Cash That Ticket, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed. The show opens with a look back at a winning stretch, including an Astros team total that cashed even though the offense attacked the bullpen rather than the starter as expected, and Essler reports a 3 and 1 day for clients despite his own best bet falling short. Manji shares updated season figures showing a July best bets record of 11 and 11 for negative 2.55 units, with the podcast sitting at roughly plus 13.1 units year to date, before venting about a three star best bet on the Phillies run line that fell apart when a six run lead evaporated in an eventual loss to the Marlins. From there the hosts dig into five matchups on the day's card. Eury Pérez and the Miami Marlins face Nolan McLean and the New York Mets, with the offense's struggles without an injured Juan Soto pushing both hosts toward a first five under look. Yohan Ramírez and a bullpen day for the Pittsburgh Pirates opposite Rhett Lowder and the Cincinnati Reds bring a strong lean toward the Pittsburgh team total over, powered by a shaky Cincinnati bullpen and a small home ballpark. Jake Irvin's return from a lengthy injured list stint for the Washington Nationals against Grant Holmes and the Atlanta Braves points both hosts toward the Washington team total over, backed by the Nationals' strong road numbers this season. JP Sears and the San Diego Padres draw a favorable matchup against Robbie Ray and the San Francisco Giants, with Ray's steep home and road split pushing the market and both hosts toward San Diego. A quick look at the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Dodgers highlights Bryan Woo's extreme home and road splits, while the Boston Red Sox and Athletics get a brief mention after a frustrating result the night before. The back half of the show pivots to the NFL, with the Los Angeles Chargers carrying a nine and a half win total into the 2026 season after an 11 and 6 finish and a wild card playoff berth under head coach Jim Harbaugh. Essler and Manji cover the hire of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, the encouraging return to practice for tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, the addition of first round pick Akheem Mesidor to the defense, and a demanding travel schedule that includes trips to Buffalo, Seattle, Kansas City, Baltimore twice, and a late season stretch through Tampa Bay and Miami. Essler leans toward the over while acknowledging the Chargers could finish closer to 9 and 8, and Manji takes the under, citing the travel load and the adjustment period ahead for quarterback Justin Herbert in a new offensive system, along with questions about receiver Ladd McConkey's role and the development of running back Omarion Hampton. The show wraps with the daily best bets, Essler siding with the Pittsburgh Pirates team total over four and a half and Manji backing the Washington Nationals team total over four and a half, before a reminder to use promo code RBI50 at pregame.com for fifty dollars off second half MLB season access and a preview of Friday's episode covering the Denver Broncos win total with quarterback Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Griffin Warner opens the show with a look back at a hot recent run before diving into a packed ten game Major League Baseball slate for Thursday, working from the early window through the night's final first pitch in Los Angeles. He starts with the Texas Rangers visiting the Tampa Bay Rays at 12:10 Eastern, where Cole Winn faces one of the game's most dominant arms in Shane McClanahan, and explains why he still finds value on a Tampa Bay team built to win at home even with a slightly bigger price than he would like. From there he moves to the Kansas City Royals at the Minnesota Twins, detailing how injuries to Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino have shaped his lean to the under, while questioning whether Bailey Ober can keep missing bats with modest velocity for his size. He covers the New York Yankees trip to face the Chicago White Sox and Sean Burke, pointing to sloppy recent losses and a red hot closer in David Bednar as reasons Chicago has yet to earn his trust as a home underdog. The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals get a full breakdown next, with Warner favoring Chicago's defense and approach over a Cardinals club he believes has overachieved and is due for a correction, even with Andre Pallante pitching well lately. He previews the Miami Marlins traveling to face the New York Mets, weighing a fresh Juan Soto injury and a taxing doubleheader against a Miami team trying to snap a long losing streak behind a talented young arm. The Pittsburgh Pirates at the Cincinnati Reds gets attention for a disrespected home underdog price and a hitter friendly ballpark that shapes his total lean, and the Washington Nationals at the Atlanta Braves becomes his headline play of the night, with Jake Irvin returning from injury and a shaky Washington bullpen pushing him firmly toward the over. He closes the game by game breakdown with the Seattle Mariners visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers, explaining why a difficult home run park and a pitcher who has struggled on the road push him toward a total that most books have set too low. Along the way Warner shares his season long track record, sitting comfortably in the green and chasing a higher unit total before the World Series, and details how listeners can save fifty dollars on his Major League Baseball Second Half All Access package using a promo code good for a limited time. The episode wraps with his single best bet of the day, a total play built around a Washington offense he expects to produce plenty of runs against an Atlanta pitching staff and bullpen he does not fully trust, closing out another edition of his daily baseball betting breakdown with the same discipline and record keeping that has defined his recent stretch of results.
