Podcast appearances and mentions of Zach Eflin

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB Saturday from a betting perspective. They open by focusing on the early matchup between the Tigers and Rays. Both lean toward Tampa Bay, highlighting Ryan Pepio's strong recent form—3.11 ERA over 15 starts and 11 strikeouts in his last outing. Pepio's underappreciated market value and Detroit's surprising top MLB record are discussed, with consensus on Rays at -120. For Orioles vs Yankees, Clark Schmidt is praised for allowing only three earned runs across four recent starts. Zach Eflin, although historically solid against the Yankees, struggled in his last outing. Both lean toward Orioles as underdogs and prefer the under 9.5 total due to Yankee Stadium's scoring tendencies. In Reds vs Cardinals, Sonny Gray's strong home record (5-1, 2.85 ERA) contrasts with his struggles against Cincinnati (4.70 ERA). Without a Reds starter listed, Griffin leans toward the Reds due to line inflation. Munaf might back St. Louis if run line odds are favorable. Seattle at Chicago is discussed with attention to wind's effect at Wrigley Field. Emerson Hancock has pitched well recently, but the Mariners lost his last four starts due to poor run support. Cade Horton's 2.70 ERA at home is noted. Both hosts await wind direction before betting, with a potential over expected. In Milwaukee vs Minnesota, Quintana's inconsistency and walk rate are flagged, while Richardson is labeled a weak rotation fill-in. Despite concerns, both see value in Brewers at plus money. For White Sox vs Blue Jays, Berríos' strong history against Chicago (14-6, 3.16 ERA) supports Munaf's best bet: Jays -1.5 run line at -105. Griffin notes the White Sox's poor weekend performances and questions their motivation. Rangers vs Pirates features concerns around Kumar Rocker's splits (15.09 ERA on road) and Mitch Keller's unreliable late innings. Despite bad offenses, both expect a high-scoring game. The Braves visit the Marlins in a matchup where Grant Holmes is riding a 15-strikeout game. Yuri Perez has struggled mightily vs Atlanta. Both favor a Braves team total over as their offense heats up. Kansas City faces San Diego with Dylan Cease showing volatility. Royals are praised for recent form, including a sweep of Texas, and bullpen strength. Hosts lean Royals ML and under in the first five innings. Mets vs Phillies highlights Griffin Canning's struggles—10 earned runs in his last two outings—against Mick Abel's potential. Philadelphia is seen as cheap at -112, with both supporting the home side. In Arizona vs Colorado, Merrill Kelly's dominance (7-0, 1.60 ERA vs Rockies since 2022) is emphasized, including a 2.03 ERA at Coors. Yet due to rising temperatures and Palmquist's late fade, they suggest betting over. Astros vs Angels is discussed with Walter's solid last start (6.2 IP, 1 ER, 9 K) and Soriano's overall reliability. However, the Angels' 1-5 record vs lefties at home tilts the pick to Astros at -110. Guardians vs A's offers little confidence. Luis Ortiz's high walk rate and Mitch Spence's Triple-A quality result in a lean toward the over and a mild interest in the A's if plus money improves. Nationals vs Dodgers sees Jake Irvin's night game struggles (5.16 ERA) and Dustin May's inconsistency. The hosts recommend Dodgers team total over or full game over. Lastly, Boston visits San Francisco with Brayan Bello consistent and Landen Roop unproven. While Giants are tough at home, the under 7.5 is the preferred angle due to low scoring projections. Griffin's best bet is Rays ML behind Pepio, while Munaf backs Berríos and Toronto on the run line. The episode closes with promo code RBI20 for a discounted betting package.

What began as another conversation after another Orioles loss where the pitching wasn't good enough and the hitting stank, Luke Jones and Nestor touch on Zach Eflin but wind up discussing the future of the Tampa Rays, another series in a minor league stadium and why the Savannah Bananas create more value for fans than Major League Baseball does in the modern world. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Tampa baseball situation after Rays beat Orioles and shell Eflin first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

The guys discuss an ugly outing for Zach Eflin last night and why it'd benefit them to trade him sooner rather than later.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Tampa Bay Rays MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Orioles at Rays 7:35PM ET— Zach Eflin is starting for Baltimore. Eflin in nine starts on the year, carries an ERA of 4.08 with WHIP of 1.09. The righty has 16.9% Ks with 3.3% walks. Ground balls dealt at 39.8% with 1.70 home runs per nine innings. Ryan Pepiot gets the start for Tampa Bay.

The guys discuss how impressed they were with Zach Eflin and why it might benefit them to trade him now.

Detroit Tigers vs. Baltimore Orioles MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Tigers at Orioles 6:35PM ET—Casey Mize is starting for Detroit. Mize in ten starts on the year, delivers an ERA of 2.91 with WHIP of 1.22. The right hander fans 20.7% with 6.9% walks. Ground balls dished at 41.3% with 1.29 home runs per nine innings. A FIP of 4.06. Zach Eflin starts for Baltimore.

Tomoyuki Sugano and Zach Eflin were considered ideal trade candidates as the Orioles continued to pile up losses. If the recent winning is here to stay, should Eflin and Sugano also stick around?

Baltimore Orioles vs. Seattle Mariners MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Orioles at Mariners 3:40PM ET—Zach Eflin will start for Baltimore. Eflin has seven starts with an ERA of 4.46 with WHIP of 1.09. The right hander strikes out 14.9% with 3.7% walks. Ground balls served at 38.3% with 2.01 home runs per nine innings. Bryan Woo gets the start for Seattle.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The guys also give out best bets. The MLB Friday podcast with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner previewed the full Friday slate with in-depth betting analysis. Munaf opened by noting seasonal transitions while Griffin celebrated being up 22 units in May. Munaf described his bad beat with Arizona's bullpen meltdown against the Phillies. Griffin praised Corbin Burns' outing despite Munaf's loss. For Cubs vs Reds, Andrew Abbott was confirmed for Cincinnati while Colin Rea was probable for Chicago. Rea's 5-1 record against the Reds was clouded by a 5.88 ERA. Griffin warned against trusting Reds closer Emilio Pagan, recommending first-five bets for Reds backers. Munaf noted mild wind at Wrigley, making early scoring possible. For Orioles vs White Sox, confusion surrounded Chicago's starting pitcher—Sean Burke or Jared Shuster. The Orioles were heavy -215 favorites. Munaf hesitated to back either side, citing Zach Eflin's recent struggles and Chicago's poor form. Griffin criticized the White Sox as dysfunctional, saying backing them was dangerous. Milwaukee faced Philadelphia with DL Hall starting against Taijuan Walker. Philadelphia was favored at -133. Bryce Harper was listed day-to-day with an elbow contusion. Griffin emphasized Milwaukee's overreliance on base stealing and bullpen fatigue. Munaf supported Philadelphia, noting their 19-9 home record. The A's faced the Blue Jays with Jeffrey Springs against Chris Bassett. The Blue Jays, favored at -160, saw Bassett excel at home (1.61 ERA over 28 innings). Springs pitched well but suffered from bullpen collapses. Munaf leaned Blue Jays and under 8.5. For Rockies vs Mets, Peterson faced Freeland with Mets huge -306 favorites. Freeland struggled at Coors but was slightly better on the road. Munaf suggested Mets team total overs while Griffin found no value backing Colorado. In Giants vs Marlins, Harrison faced Quantrill. Griffin noted Quantrill's recent turnaround (4 wins, 6 ER in May), while Harrison's pitch limit posed risk. Munaf agreed Miami offered home underdog value. Guardians hosted Angels with Luis Ortiz vs Jose Soriano. Soriano's control issues were concerning (14 walks in 4 starts). Griffin favored Cleveland's patient lineup, citing bullpen advantage. Boston played Atlanta with Giolito vs Grant Holmes. Griffin detailed Red Sox clubhouse turmoil and lack of cohesion. Munaf pointed out Giolito's inconsistency, especially against Atlanta earlier. Both leaned Braves team total over. In Cardinals vs Rangers, Lieberatore likely faced Jack Leiter. The Rangers had gone 24-6 to the under at home. Both hosts strongly supported the under 8.5. For Tigers vs Royals, Casey Mize opposed Seth Lugo. Griffin backed Kansas City due to Mize's IL return and KC's home form. Munaf highlighted Lugo's good career numbers vs Detroit. Tampa Bay visited Houston with Pepiot vs Valdez. Griffin respected Houston's design against lefties. Munaf leaned under, noting Framber's 4-1 under record at home and Pepiot's 3-0 road unders. In Pirates vs Padres, Keller faced Pivetta. Griffin liked first-five unders due to San Diego's offensive struggles but found little value elsewhere. Munaf noted Keller's poor past vs Padres. The Nationals faced the Diamondbacks with Irvin vs Kelly. Griffin leaned over given bullpen issues and Arizona's park. Munaf added Arizona's historical home unders with Kelly but agreed on D-backs team total over. Seattle hosted Minnesota with Zebby Matthews vs Brian Wu. Wu's home dominance (12-1) made Seattle a strong pick. Both leaned under 7. Lastly, Yankees faced Dodgers with Max Fried vs Gonsolin. Fried was surprisingly favored at -116. Griffin was shocked Dodgers were home underdogs, citing bullpen risks for New York. Munaf also preferred Dodgers ML and slightly leaned over. For best bets, Griffin chose Phillies ML at -126 while Munaf picked under 8.5 in Cardinals-Rangers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hunter Dobbins is getting the start for Boston. Dobbins made six starts with an ERA of 3.62 with WHIP of 1.30. The rookie righty fans 18.2% with 3.6% walks. Grounders sit at 45.7% with 0.84 home runs per nine innings.

Washington Nationals vs. Baltimore Orioles MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Nationals at Orioles 1:35PM ET—Michael Soroka will start for Washington.

Grounders are 33.8% with 0.78 home runs per nine innings.

The numbers indicate that the Orioles have one of the worst starting rotations in all of baseball. However, the return of Zach Eflin and some recent good outings by Tomoyuki Sugano have been a bright spot. Jim Hunter evaluates the group heading into late May.

Eno and DVR discuss the D-backs' decision to recall Jordan Lawlar, Zach Eflin's importance for the Orioles' injury-plagued rotation, and the Rockies' decision to dismiss manager Bud Black, before looking at some of the biggest risers and fallers (among hitters) in initial 2025 projections v. rest-of-season projections with The BAT X.Rundown3:33 Jordan Lawlar: Recalled by D-backs; How Does He Fit Right Now?8:52 Zach Eflin: Returns from the IL12:59 The Rockies Fire Manager Bud Black21:55 Projections Movers: Biggest Risers28:22 Who Has Moved Their Projections Enough to Change Their Role?34:50 Andrew Vaughn's Projection Has Improved Despite Tough Stretch?44:26 Projections Movers: Biggest Fallers52:57 Willy Adames: A Good Buy-Low Candidate?57:15 Where the Money Went: Cade Horton & Intriguing, Affordable BatsFollow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.socialFollow DVR on Bluesky: @dvr.bsky.sociale-mail: ratesandbarrels@gmail.comJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisProducer: Brian SmithExecutive Producer: Derek VanRiper Hosted on Acast.

In the second hour of Inside Access, the guys discuss what's going on in the Orioles farm system and how Zach Eflin's rehab assignment went. They also talk about George Pickens being traded to the Cowboys and are joined by Tim Murray and Jim Duquette.

The guys take a trip down on the farm and talk about what they're seeing from some of the Orioles minor leaguers. They touch on Samuel Basallo, Zach Eflin's rehab start, Chayce McDermott, and more.

The Orioles are operating with an extremely thin pitching depth chart. Can they stay afloat with a potential return of Zach Eflin on the horizon? Gabe Lacques joined the show to discuss that and more.

The Orioles are desperate for pitching reinforcements and Zach Eflin is coming off a solid rehab outing in Aberdeen. How soon will he be ready to return to the majors? Steve Melewski answers that and more during his visit with Vinny & Haynie.

Welcome to Episode 76 of Tablesetters! Devin and Steve are back at the mics to bring you everything happening across the baseball landscape — from monster contracts and rising stars to organizational missteps and real-life tragedy. We begin with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s jaw-dropping 14-year, $500 million extension — the third-largest contract in MLB history — and discuss what it means not just for the Blue Jays, but for a league that's fully leaning into early-career investments. With extensions this past week for Garrett Crochet, Ketel Marte, Jackson Merrill, Cal Raleigh, and Kristian Campbell, it's clear that locking in young stars is the model. Which leads us to a central question: Will the Orioles follow suit? With talent like Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman, and Jackson Holliday blossoming, it's time for Baltimore to decide whether it wants to ride the wave — or get caught chasing it later. Next up, we pivot to injuries shaping the early season. Key arms and contributors are already shelved, including Blake Snell, Spencer Arrighetti, Zach Eflin, Reynaldo López, and Victor Robles. We assess the impact of those absences and who might rise to fill the void. From there, we spotlight the scorching start of Sacramento's Tyler Soderstrom, who's tied with Aaron Judge atop the MLB home run leaderboard. His success is forcing a conversation about top prospect Nick Kurtz, who's dominating Triple-A. The Athletics may have a good problem on their hands — but one that demands a creative solution soon. We also cover two sobering off-the-field stories. First, the resignation of Tigers Assistant GM Sam Menzin following serious allegations of misconduct — a reminder of the cultural accountability still needed in front offices. And second, the devastating nightclub collapse in Santo Domingo, which claimed 66 lives, including beloved figures from both music and baseball: Octavio Dotel, Tony Blanco, Rubby Pérez, and Nelsy Cruz. In one of the week's most powerful and human moments, Jarren Duran opened up about a suicide attempt he survived during a dark period in his career. His story, shared in a Netflix docuseries, is raw, courageous, and a vital reminder of the mental health challenges facing athletes today. And we close out with a look at Chase Dollander's MLB debut — 5 innings, 6 strikeouts, and his first career win — and Zac Veen's red-hot start in Triple-A. Colorado might not contend this year, but the future is taking shape. Plus, we take a few quick swings in Take a Pitch/Swing Away — including jersey etiquette at games, Kyle Tucker's potential contract value, and whether Mets players should be publicly name-dropping Sandy Alcantara. All that and more in this week's episode. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @TablesettersPod, subscribe wherever you listen, and keep the conversation going — we're just getting warmed up.

The news about Zach Eflin being shut down leaves us wondering what the entire Orioles rotation will look like next week. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the pitching depth and sluggish bats on the Birds as they exit Arizona and head home for a wet weekend against Toronto. At least Cedric Mullins is seeing the ball well... The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Eflin lat strain and Orioles bat problems in Arizona first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from the second hour of Tuesday's BBMS to discuss the injury to Zach Eflin and the Orioles' next steps. Can they replace his spot in the rotation easily? Should they explore a trade?

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time to share their thoughts on what's next for the Orioles after Zach Eflin goes down with a lat injury. Is it time for Kyle Gibson to step up? Is it as simple as throwing in another arm?

Welcome into a Would You Rather Wednesday edition of Glenn Clark Radio, plenty of Orioles to cover on the program this morning as we react to another Orioles loss as the birds fall 4-3 out in the desert to the snakes. Plus we got an update on Zach Eflin's shoulder injury, we'll evaluate what it means for the rotation and staff moving forward, plus we'll react to the reported Corbin Burnes contract that the Orioles offered this offseason before he decided to go to Arizona. Then at 10:15am, we will chat with Corbin Burnes for ourselves, talk about the offseason, having Scott Boras as his agent and how it affected his free agency and we'll reflect on his season in Baltimore as well. At 10:45am, we will check in with the injury expert, our friend Will Carroll, of the ‘Under the Knife' substack and dive into Zach Eflin's ‘low-grad lat strain' what that means, how long he could be out and much more as we get a little smarter. Then at 11:20am, we'll talk some golf with our guy Drew Forrester as we preview the Masters ahead of this weekend and play a little WYR Wednesday…

The bad injury news continued for the Orioles last night when it was revealed Zach Eflin is heading to the IL. There isn't much depth on the roster right now, so who will get the nod to replace Eflin for the immediate future?

How costly will Zach Eflin's injury be for the Orioles pitching staff? Jim Hunter believes it will be an uphill battle to replace him in the short term.

The Suns will be eliminated if they don't win now! Baltimore Orioles' Zach Eflin dominated The Diamondbacks and gave them their 6th loss on the season and third in a row!

On a night when the Orioles got Gunnar Henderson back on track and beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 in Phoenix, the post-game concern for the early exit of ace Zach Eflin looms large for a rotation and pitching staff that is already on fumes for quality starts in April. Luke Jones and Nestor stay up late this week as the Birds try to win their first series of the season. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Eflin early departure and Gunnar bat awakening in Arizona first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from Tuesday's BBMS to discuss Zach Eflin going down with shoulder fatigue following Monday night's win. Eflin has been the team's most consistent pitcher since arriving in Baltimore. Would the team survive if he's out for an extended period?

In the final hour of Inside Access, the guys discuss if Zach Eflin is potentially a guy that the Orioles could extend. They also talk about the six most encouraging things they've seen from the O's so far and what they thought about Felix Bautista last night.

The guys discuss how concerned they are with Zach Eflin's injury.

Orioles host and BBT analyst Mike Bordick joined the show to discuss what he's seen from the Orioles of late. He touches on his concerns on Zach Eflin's injury, bad fundamental baseball by the O's so far, Felix Bautista looking like his old self last night, and much more.

In the second hour of Inside Access, the guys discuss Zach Eflin's injury. They also talk about what the Ravens could do in the 2025 NFL Draft and share their picks for the next few days during Bounce Back/Fall Back.

In the first hour of Inside Access, the guys discuss how impressed they were with the Orioles approach. They also talk about Zach Eflin's injury and are joined by Amiel Sawdaye.

The Orioles played one of their most complete games on Monday night, but Zach Eflin's early exit has left Bob, Vinny and Nolan worried about the immediate future of the rotation.

Having watched Corbin Burnes look the part of a Number One starter last season, Luke Jones and Nestor look ahead to whatever Mike Elias will need to do to find the kind of performances that the Red Sox newest ace Garrett Crochet delivered on Wednesday night against the Orioles at Camden Yards. No offense, Zach Eflin, but the Birds still have some work to do on the front of the rotation. And that will define this season by October's end... The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Crochet, great pitching and Orioles top of rotation issue first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined by Blue Jays TV analyst Buck Martinez (5:51) to chat about his expectations for Will Wagner and Alan Roden, the buildup to 'Opening Day' each year, whether Kevin Gausman can return to form, what classifies a good year for Max Scherzer, bullpen depth, Alejandro Kirk's workload behind the plate and on offence, and whether Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. can find some comfort alongside Andrés Giménez in the infield. Then, MASN's Roch Kubatko (27:10) stops by to discuss the impact moving the left field wall closer to home plate will have for hitters at Camden Yards, who are the Orioles heading into the 2025 season, projections for Zach Eflin, not signing Corbin Burnes, if the team will look into calling up prospect catcher Samuel Basallo, and concerns for the aging pitching staff.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.
