When the New York Knicks snapped their 53-year championship drought this past weekend, it showed how long the fan base had been suffering before finally being able to celebrate a title. However, there are quite a few teams in baseball that can commiserate with what Knicks fans have been going through and hope to one day bring a championship back home. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at the current title-less droughts in MLB, led by the Cleveland Guardians, who haven't won since 1948, and the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres, neither of whom has yet to win a World Series since their debuts in 1969. Along with the Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Mets and others, which team will be next to break its drought? Later, Jake and Jordan discuss two standout pitching performances from this weekend: Jacob Misiorowski, who threw a Maddux for the Brewers, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who flirted with perfection en route to a Los Angeles Dodgers victory. They then recap Tarik Skubal's return to the mound, the Tartan Army taking over Fenway Park during the Boston Red Sox–Texas Rangers game and offer thoughts on players giving mixed messages regarding the annual San Francisco Giants Pride Night. 1:59 – The Opener: Next title drought to end 37:11 – Around The League: The Miz throws a Maddux 47:00 – Yamamoto flirts with perfection 56:22 – Skubal returns to the Tigers 1:04:52 – Turbo Mode: Tartan Army invades 1:10:01 – Giants Pride Night kerfuffle 1:14:57 – Recap of weekend action Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

For the second time in 10 months, Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto lost a no-hitter in the ninth inning. This time, on Saturday in Chicago, he flirted with perfection in a win over the White Sox, retiring his first 23 batters faced. Yamamoto is the first Dodgers pitcher to lose two no-hitters in the ninth inning. Coupled with his previous start, his 45 consecutive batters retired was one shy of Yusmeiro Petit's major league record. The Dodgers had a so-so road trip, splitting six games with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox. Big innings felled the pitching staff over the last week-plus, and the home run ball has terrorized Los Angeles pitching all June. Jack Dreyer allowed four home runs in his first 91 major league appearances, but since returning from the injured list has allowed five home runs in his last seven outings, for instance. Freddie Freeman has been hot at the plate for about four weeks, and on Tuesday in Pittsburgh got his 2,500th career hit, just the 102nd player to reach that milestone. Shohei Ohtani (left knee) and Justin Wrobleski (right hamstring) had injury scares last week but appear to be okay. Tommy Edman will be activated off the injured list this week for his season debut after ankle surgery, while relievers Evan Phillips and Brock Stewart are nearing returns of their own.

We are a little more than a month from the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, so we take a look at various Dodgers who might play for Dave Roberts and the National League team at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Shohei Ohtani is a lock for the All-Star team, whether he's voted as the starting designated hitter or not. He should make the team as both a DH and a pitcher for the first time since 2021 in Colorado. Andy Pages has been one of the best outfielders in baseball this year, and should be an All-Star for the first time. Max Muncy is off to a great start at the plate and has improved his defense, giving him an excellent start to make his third midsummer classic. Freddie Freeman is still humming along, but this brings a question of whether only first-half stats should count or should we also consider a player's numbers since last year's All-Star Game. Plus, we look at whether Yoshinobu Yamamoto will make his second midsummer classic and which Dodgers pitchers (Tanner Scott? Justin Wrobleski?) might join him.

Dylan Crews is officially getting recalled by the Nationals. Does that make him an immediate, high-priority addition in all leagues? Corey Pieper breaks down the top injury news, studs and duds, the Bullpen Report segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. On the injury front, MacKenzie Gore exited early with left lat tightness, Corey Seager lands on the 10-day IL with a back injury, and Kyle Teel suffers an LCL sprain setback. Conversely, a massive wave of reinforcements arrives as Jackson Holliday, Jeremy Pena, and Ronald Acuna Jr. have all been activated. In studs and duds, Michael King and Yoshinobu Yamamoto went toe-to-toe in a spectacular pitching duel, while Shota Imanaga and Robbie Ray got absolutely blasted, combining for 17 earned runs allowed. For the Bullpen Report, we dive into shifting closing situations, checking in on the committee structures for the White Sox and Yankees, alongside Luis Garcia securing the latest save for Minnesota.

Clint Pasillas and Jeff Snider react to game one of the three game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was excellent for the Dodgers, allowing just one run over 7 innings. Unfortunately, Michael King was just a little more excellent-er for the Padres, tossing 7 shutout frames. The Dodgers had their opportunities here and there with a huge moment in the 5th inning shining a spotlight on third base coach Dino Ebel. Should Dino have sent Hyeseong Kim? The blunder might not have mattered if Mookie Betts did anything offensively. Is the Dodgers offense actually bad? Or was it just bad today? And in injury news, we have updates on Blake Snell, Gavin Stone, Brusdar Graterol, and other odds and ends on this edition of All Dodgers. Tube in all season long!

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back for a loaded Monday edition of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, and the Western Conference Finals take center stage right from the jump as these two dig deep into Game 1 between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at Paycom Center. The series odds on DraftKings have the Thunder as minus-260 favorites and the Spurs sitting at plus-210, but both guys make a compelling case for San Antonio, pointing to a 4-and-1 regular season record against OKC, consistent spread coverage across a wide range of lines, and a style of play that gives the Spurs a real chance to compete against the defending champions. Munaf officially takes the Spurs at plus-220 for the series on FanDuel and likes them plus six and a half for Game 1 as well, arguing that Oklahoma City's price is built on public perception rather than a genuine gap between these two rosters, and that the defensive attention funneled toward Victor Wembanyama will open the floor for Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, and De'Aaron Fox in exactly the ways that have made this Spurs team so dangerous all season. Dave agrees the spread is inflated, spots the number as high as seven on FanDuel, and leans to San Antonio plus the points while also backing the under despite a market that has pushed the total north of 221 at multiple books. The total discussion is sharp, with both guys citing under trends in game ones for both franchises and pointing out that OKC's big offensive outputs this postseason came against Phoenix and the Lakers, neither of which remotely resembles what San Antonio brings defensively. On the prop side Dave goes with Ajay Mitchell over 13 points at minus-123 on DraftKings, making the case that Mitchell has scored fewer than 14 points only once in eight postseason games and is the kind of off-brand value that separates sharp bettors from the crowd, while Munaf tracks Stephon Castle at 17 and a half given Castle's history of scoring 32, 22, 24, 19, and 20 against OKC this season. The baseball card gets the same thorough treatment across five games: the Reds-Phillies over is the consensus call with Nick Lodolo struggling badly since returning from injury and Andrew Painter's numbers even weaker than his reputation, the Orioles-Rays matchup generates a yellow flag despite Shane McClanahan's exceptional form because the line movement tells an interesting story, the Blue Jays-Yankees game produces a first-five over recommendation at four and a half with both Patrick Corbin's regression metrics and Ryan Weathers' fly-ball tendencies pointing toward early scoring, and the Dodgers-Padres game is where both guys get loudest, taking San Diego at plus-128 because Yoshinobu Yamamoto has allowed at least three earned runs in four straight starts and Michael King has been one of the better starters in the NL over the same stretch. Dave wraps up with a smart segment on weather handicapping that every baseball bettor should hear, breaking down exactly how to factor wind, temperature, humidity, and air pressure without blindly chasing overs every time conditions look favorable. Best bets to close: Dave takes the Padres run line at minus-130, Munaf fires on the Braves-Marlins under at eight and a half backing Max Meyer's breakout campaign against rookie J.R. Ritchie making his first appearance against Miami. Use promo code RISE10 at pregame.com for ten dollars off any purchase including rest-of-May all-access through May 31st.

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost again, the offense stayed asleep, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a rough night on the mound. Jeff Spiegel and Kevin Skinner break down another frustrating game, what's behind the Dodgers' offensive struggles, and whether it's time to start getting concerned. Dodgers fans did finally get a little life from Shohei Ohtani offensively though, which could be a sign that he's starting to break out at the plate again. What would that mean for a lineup that desperately needs a spark right now? Get your thoughts in on the Friend of the Show hotline!

Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a rough first inning but then settled in nicely, and for once he got good run support as the Dodgers offense broke out against a weak Astros pitching staff. Add it all up, and Los Angeles beat the bad guys 8-3 and snapped their six-game homerless streak with dingers from Alex Freeland and Kyle Tucker. Freddie Freeman added two hits, Will Smith had three, and everyone except Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy had at least one hit (and Ohtani and Muncy each had multiple walks).

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting on Monday. Monday is here and Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Esler are all over the final week of April with a loaded episode of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed. The guys kick things off with a weekend recap that features two painful hook losses for Uncle Dave — a baseball team total that finished at exactly four runs after he passed on buying it down, and an NBA team total where he took the number at the wrong time and paid for it by a single point. Despite those close calls, the podcast remains solidly in the green, sitting at 71 and 51 lifetime for 58.2 percent and plus 16.64 units, with April holding at 19 and 16 at plus 4.14 units heading into the final stretch. Three NBA playoff games anchor Monday's card and all three get the full treatment. For Orlando Magic versus Detroit Pistons, Uncle Dave is on the over at 214 and a half after the series has gone 221, 218, and 215 in successive games, calling this another market overreaction on a number that has drifted too low. He also has a Paolo Banchero double-double prop at minus 120 after the Magic star posted 25 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists in Game 3. Munaf takes the Pistons side at minus two and a half, expecting Desmond Bane's 7-of-9 three-point shooting from Game 3 to regress hard and Detroit's offense to show up collectively. For Oklahoma City Thunder versus Phoenix Suns, Uncle Dave leans toward first-half Phoenix scoring angles while Munaf makes his official best bet the Thunder team total over 112 and a half at minus 112 on DraftKings, noting OKC has scored at least 119 in all three games of the series. The most emotional segment covers Minnesota Timberwolves versus Denver Nuggets, where Donte DiVincenzo tore his right Achilles just over a minute into Game 4 and Anthony Edwards left with a bone bruise and knee hyperextension in the second quarter. Minnesota still won 112-96 behind 43 points from Ayo Dosunmu, one of the greatest bench performances in NBA playoff history, 13 of 17 from the field, 5 of 5 from three, 12 of 12 from the line. Uncle Dave takes the Wolves team total under 105 and a half for Game 5 in Denver, while Munaf likes Denver first half and discusses Nikola Jokic combined rebounds and assists as a prop target. The MLB rundown covers all seven games including Dustin May regression risk for St. Louis against Pittsburgh, the Padres matchup edge over Chicago, Yoshinobu Yamamoto caution in Los Angeles, Parker Messick trust for Cleveland against Tampa Bay, Dylan Cease strikeout props against Boston, Angels team total over versus Jonathan Kochanowicz in Chicago, and Jack Leiter plus-money value for Texas against Max Fried in New York. Best bets to close: Uncle Dave is on Connor Prielipp over 4.5 strikeouts against Seattle and Munaf is on OKC Thunder team total over 112 and a half.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto had an uncharacteristically rough first inning, allowing three runs on four hits to the Giants. Unfortunately, the Los Angeles offense squandered several opportunities to chip away at that lead and LA lost the game, 3-1. Jeff Spiegel and Jeff Snider are here to talk about Yama's rough inning, the offense's inability to get the job done, and the perplexing refusal by some players to challenge bad calls by the umpires. On the bright side, Shohei Ohtani extended his on-base streak to 53 games with an infield single in his last at-bat. Get your thoughts in on the Friend of the Show hotline!

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday Michigan is a national champion, Uncle Diamond Dave Esler cashed a 5-to-1 futures ticket, and there are still three MLB games, two NBA matchups, and a Masters first-round leader portfolio to get through before the week really starts. That is the agenda on this Tuesday, April 7th edition of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, hosted by Munaf Manji alongside Dave Esler. The show opens with a full championship recap of Michigan's 69-63 victory over UConn, breaking down how the Wolverines won despite shooting just 38 percent from the floor and going 2-of-15 from three-point range, leaning instead on a 25-of-28 free throw performance and a 36-22 edge in points in the paint. The guys walk through the sharp money signals on the spread, why the total was never going to go over once the pace was established, and why UConn fans have no real basis for their free throw complaints given how the Huskies are built offensively. On the MLB side, Munaf and Dave break down three Tuesday games starting with the Dodgers and Blue Jays in Toronto for Game 2, where Yoshinobu Yamamoto faces Kevin Gausman in what projects as a low-scoring first-five-innings battle worth playing both from the under and the Toronto run line. Dave makes the case for Gausman's historically dominant start to 2026 as genuine value against the Dodgers price, flagging Max Muncy as the one hitter with the résumé to hurt him, and declines to lay the full-game number on Los Angeles given continued bullpen concerns. The second game sends the Mariners to Arlington, where George Kirby carries a jaw-dropping career record against the Rangers into a matchup against Nathan Eovaldi, who has allowed 11 earned runs in fewer than nine innings this season. Munaf names Kirby and Seattle at minus-120 as his official best bet of the episode. The third game features Cristopher Sánchez and the Phillies visiting Oracle Park against Robbie Ray and a Giants team that has gone 1-and-7 since opening weekend, with Dave pointing to the first-five Phillies run line and the under as his preferred structure in a pitcher-friendly park. The NBA card covers Boston hosting Charlotte in a game that means considerably more to the Hornets, who are scrapping for seeding in a tight play-in race, while the Celtics essentially mark time before a more consequential Thursday matchup with New York. Both hosts like the under, backed by back-to-back regular-season meetings that stayed well beneath their respective totals and top-ten defensive ratings from both clubs over the last ten games. The late game puts a streaking but arguably fraudulent Rockets road run to its toughest test yet in Phoenix, where the Suns are a strong home team and both Dylan Brooks and Jalen Green will be facing former employers with something to prove. Dave takes Phoenix, and Munaf agrees. To close, Dave delivers the week's first Masters betting segment with first-round leader plays for Thursday's opening round at Augusta National, building a plus-money portfolio anchored by Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler as proven top-five finishers in round one, Adam Scott at an eye-opening 50-to-1 given his current form on approach shots and first-round scoring, Chris Gotterup at 39-to-1 in his Augusta debut, and Jason Day at plus-475 to finish in the top ten after round one, a number Dave considers well below fair value given Day's documented history at this course. Dave's official best bet for Tuesday is the Yankees to win the first five innings against Oakland on the run line at minus-140 with Cam Schlittler dominating a lineup that has never faced him.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are picking up where they left off last season, sitting in 1st place in the National League West with a 7–2 record. While they've had early-season success, the Toronto Blue Jays aren't exactly in the same form just yet this season. However, the Jays are looking to turn their early season around with a big rematch starting on Monday. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the action from the weekend in baseball, which saw the Dodgers sweep the Washington Nationals and the Blue Jays get surprisingly swept by the Chicago White Sox. With the 2025 World Series rematch set to take place in Toronto, the Jays will face some familiar faces, including Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Will the Dodgers be able to repeat their success at the Rogers Centre like last October? Later, Jake and Jordan get into the rough weekend the Boston Red Sox had at Fenway Park against the San Diego Padres that saw them drop two out of three and now has them sitting at an MLB-worst 2–7 record. They also discuss the incredible defensive game from Jo Adell, where he robbed three home runs, as well as the highly anticipated debut from Pittsburgh Pirates top prospect Konnor Griffin and the New York Yankees failing to sweep the Miami Marlins after a shaky bullpen effort. 1:08 - The Opener: Dodgers-Blue Jays set for rematch 24:42 - How Sweep It Is: Konnor Griffin's debut 35:50 - Around The League: Red Sox rough start to 2026 46:44 - Jo Adell robs three home runs 52:07 - Turbo Time: Yankees fail to sweep Rays 57:06 - Justin Verlander heads to the IL Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday Cash That Ticket opened the month of April the same way it closed March — with winners. Host Munaf Manji and co-host Uncle Diamond Dave Esler delivered Wednesday's episode on the Straight Out of Vegas AM feed riding a 2-0 night from March 31st that pushed their season best-bet record to 54 wins and 35 losses, 60.6 percent, plus 14.5 units, a pace Munaf openly challenged any daily sports betting podcast to match. Dave added important framing: every pick on this show goes out before noon Eastern, before injury reports are finalized, before the market has all available information, a degree of difficulty the raw numbers don't reflect but the results consistently reward. The episode covered four games across three sports, beginning with the College Basketball Crown quarterfinals at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, where Dave quickly identified the transfer portal as the dominant storyline in the Oklahoma-Colorado matchup, with Colorado missing three players to opt-outs including freshman Isaiah Johnson, their leading three-point and free-throw shooter, and a 7-foot-4 starting center who had scored 22 points in two of their last three games. Dave called the full-game under 166 the play in a lopsided game where neither team has reason to push pace or run up score, and also floated the Colorado team total under as a derivative. For the late quarterfinal at 10:30 Eastern, Dave took Minnesota to upset Baylor, citing Baylor's 13th-ranked conference defense and turnover-prone offense while expressing greater belief in the Gophers' motivation under coach Medved. On the MLB side, Dave endorsed Joe Ryan first five innings in the Twins-Royals matchup, calling the Royals nine-run total through four games evidence enough that Kansas City won't solve Ryan tonight, while Munaf locked in the Twins -120 full game as his primary play and flagged the under 8.5 as a lean. The featured matchup was the Guardians visiting the Dodgers with Gavin Williams, a pitcher carrying a 13.03 career ERA against Los Angeles and a six-walk performance in his season opener, lined up against Yoshinobu Yamamoto coming off a 0.38 ERA across four April starts in 2025. Dave took the Dodgers first five innings on the run line, while Munaf made the Dodgers full-game team total over 4.5 at -135 his official best bet, citing Williams' walk tendencies and the Dodgers' pending offensive breakout as the two forces converging tonight. Dave's NBA best bet was the Knicks team total over 121.5 against Memphis, an intangibles call built on the argument that New York, sitting three games behind Boston for the two-seed, cannot afford to drop a fourth straight game to a Grizzlies team that plays no defense and has no season left to play for. Munaf endorsed it as a textbook get-right spot.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Manji and co-host Uncle Diamond Dave Esler arrive on Thursday, March 26th locked in and ready to work. Dave opens the episode acknowledging a backdoor cover loss on Auburn from Wednesday before confirming the OKC-Boston play cashed and kept the audience in the green, then pivots immediately to a live golf position on Marco Pence at 43-to-1 at the Texas Children's Open, tied for the lead through seven holes before the afternoon wind picks up. Before the first baseball pitch is handicapped, Munaf drops significant league news, as two NBA expansion franchises have been formally approved by the Board of Governors, one heading to Las Vegas and the other returning professional basketball to Seattle for the first time since the SuperSonics departed for Oklahoma City. The NBA breakdown centers on the most meaningful game of a thin three-game Thursday slate, the New York Knicks traveling to Charlotte to face the Hornets as 1.5-point home favorites with a 222.5 total. Dave makes the case for a first-half under, noting that Charlotte's recent win streak has been built almost entirely against bottom-of-the-standings teams and at home, while Munaf backs the Knicks plus the points after pointing out the Hornets hold a 19-24 record against above-.500 opponents this season. The real work of the episode is Opening Day itself, and the hosts cover three full games with methodical depth. Red Sox at Reds features Garrett Crochet at -163 against Andrew Abbott, and both hosts identify the first-five under and the Cincinnati run line as the sharper plays rather than following the public money on Boston, with Dave raising valid concerns about relying on Crochet's strikeout prop at 7.5 given Opening Day pitch count management. Tigers at Padres brings Tarik Skubal to Petco Park to face Nick Pivetta, and Munaf delivers a detailed case for the Padres plus odds, citing Pivetta's seven shutout innings against Detroit last April, his 0.99 WHIP and 8-1 home record in 2025, and a San Diego bullpen built to close games. The evening game at Dodger Stadium pits Zach Gallen against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Dave and Munaf both gravitate toward unders, with an alternate first-five total of 5.5 as the cleaner entry, while Munaf notes that Yamamoto's career home ERA of 1.33 against Arizona and his tendency to finish Opening Day starts around 72 to 90 pitches complicates any strikeout prop that requires a deep outing. Dave closes with his best bet on the Orioles-Twins first-five under 4.5, crediting Trevor Rogers and Joe Ryan as two elite early-innings arms, and uses the moment to reflect openly on a 2025 baseball season where his top-rated plays were profitable but overall volume worked against him, committing to a tighter, sharper approach in 2026. Munaf's best bet is the Padres money line at +113. The episode closes with a mention of the Pregame.com season-long baseball package available at $15 off with promo code MVP15, and a preview of Friday's episode covering Sweet 16 results, more MLB action, and a look at the NBA standings.
