Happy Monday, Daylight Burners. I spent Father's Day doing exactly what I wanted to do: watching baseball and yelling at my kids, and the baseball gods gave us a stupid amount of chaos to talk about. I kick things off with my A's splitting a four-gamer with the Angels in West Sac – Friday night was pure insanity. The A's go up early, the Angels rip off 11 straight, Oakland claws back with bombs from Jacob Wilson and Max Muncy, Jonah Heim ties it with a pinch‑hit two‑run shot down to the last strike, and Big Amish walks it off with a bases‑loaded walk after wearing the golden sombrero all night. Then reality hits: a hangover shutout on Saturday and the bullpen coughing it up Sunday with a late Guzmán three‑run shot and yet another Zach Neto dagger to drop the finale 9–7. From there I roll through the Rockies stealing a legit series from the Pirates – including outdueling Paul Skenes 2–1 at Coors, with Tomoyuki Sugano and Jaden Hill slamming the door and Kyle Freeland hitting 1,000 career strikeouts. I give Freeland a big hat tip as a Denver kid who came all the way up through the Rockies system. We talk about the Tigers absolutely needing a weekend like this and getting it: they sweep the White Sox in Detroit behind Tarik Skubal's second start back from elbow surgery, back‑to‑back “ding dongs” from Dylan Dingler (17th and 18th of the year), and Matt Vierling walking it off in extras. I've been hyping Kaider Montero for a while and he shoves seven innings in that series. Around the league I hit all the big series: Cubs hang 16 on the Blue Jays with Carson Kelly's grand slam and Ben Brown shoving, then Toronto claws back the next day. Reds roll into the Bronx and actually take a series off the Yankees behind Cam Schlittler's 13‑K gem and Chase Burns' eighth straight win, only giving up a solo shot to Ben Rice (his 22nd of the year). Rays edge the Nationals, Marlins quietly sweep the Giants in Miami, and the Brewers avoid a sweep in Atlanta with a William Contreras four‑hit day and Robert Gasser's first win since May 2024. Rangers take a wild set from the Padres, with Wyatt Langford hitting a moonshot into the third deck and Nathan Eovaldi grinding out a win. Astros beat back Cleveland behind Yordan Alvarez's 25th homer, and I'm cashing in on him on my Spinball lineup. Royals and Cardinals trade blows on I‑70 with JJ Wetherholt going deep twice in a 12–10 St. Louis win. Twins absolutely bury the Diamondbacks 16–8 with a 10‑run fifth, 20 hits, then come back Sunday to take the series behind Josh Bell's pinch‑hit RBI and a late rally. Red Sox roll into Seattle, win the series, and force the Mariners to lean on a big Logan Gilbert outing to avoid the sweep. Orioles stroll into Dodger Stadium, beat Yamamoto behind seven scoreless from Trevor Rogers, then beat the brakes off L.A. 12–1 on Father's Day with bombs from Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser, Pete Alonso and Blaze Alexander. Phillies absolutely destroy the Mets: Kyle Schwarber hits three homers on Saturday, adds another on Sunday, and Bryce Harper hits for the first cycle of his career while Christopher Sánchez and Zack Wheeler shove. I close it out with a lap around the standings: Yankees still leading the AL East but wobbling, Cleveland back on top of the Central, Mariners barely clinging to a game‑and‑a‑half lead over my A's in a West where everybody's around .500, Braves still on top of the NL East but feeling the Phillies breathing down their necks, Brewers holding serve in the Central, and the Dodgers doing Dodgers things despite dropping a series to Baltimore. Then I look ahead to tonight's slate: Garrett Cole vs Framber Valdez, Hunter Brown vs Dylan Cease, a Japanese‑on‑Japanese matchup with Shota Imanaga vs Kodai Senga, a big Brewers–Reds set in Cincy, Dodgers at Twins in what might be an “over” special, Guardians–White Sox for the AL Central lead, and more. A's are off today before heading into San Francisco for a huge three‑game set with Aaron Civale vs Robbie Ray in Game 1, and I lay out why Oakland needs at least two wins there before they see the Angels again. Hope all you dads had a good Father's Day. I know I did. Don't let your butt crack show, and move your ass – we're Burnin' Daylight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Real_G Warner is back with the June 4 episode of the what I bet podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed of the pregame.com podcast network, and the card tonight is headlined by Game 2 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, with the Vegas Golden Knights heading back to Raleigh as plus money underdogs after stealing Game 1 on the road, 5-4, erasing a 2-0 deficit and getting a late winner from Tomas Hertl. Vegas is plus 138 in Game 2, Carolina minus 157, and the series price has already flipped all the way to the Golden Knights minus 140 favorites, a swing of roughly 222 percent on the Hurricanes side. Warner has been riding this team throughout the postseason, going five for five on the Knights as underdogs, and he is not stepping off now. Mitch Marner leads the entire 2026 playoffs with 21 points across 16 games, blocking shots in regulation and throwing no-look assists in the same shift, while Jack Eichel leads the postseason in assists with 16 and Ivan Barbashev, the Barbershop himself, has been a physical force at every stage of the run. On the baseball side, Warner runs through eight Thursday matchups, calling the Padres-Phillies game with Lucas Giolito against Zack Wheeler a tough spot for San Diego, skipping the Orioles-Red Sox matchup with Trevor Rogers and Brayan Bello in Boston as a pass with no strong angle, noting the Guardians plus 145 in the Bronx against Carlos Rodon and Slade Cecconi is a respectful number but a difficult structural spot for a small-ball club, passing on the Giants at Milwaukee with Adrian Houser against Coleman Crow while lamenting the state of the San Francisco front office, waiting on Seth Lugo and the Royals in Minnesota before committing to a side, leaning Astros at minus 105 with Kai-Wei Teng over Jared Jones in just his second start back from internal brace surgery, and watching the Dodgers price on Justin Wrobleski at Arizona against Ryne Nelson with Arizona plus 120 looking interesting. The best bet of the episode is Oakland Athletics plus 112 on the road at the Chicago Cubs, with J.T. Ginn carrying a 2.87 ERA and five straight quality starts into a matchup against Shota Imanaga, who has allowed eight home runs in his last three outings, and if the Wrigley wind blows out, Warner likes this number even more.

Fantasy Baseball Live! – May 24, 2026Segments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.With the struggles of Steven Kwan this season, Travis Bazzana has been moved to the leadoff spot.a.What is your assessment of him so far this season?b.When do we pull the trigger on Steven Kwan and throw him on the waiver wire – he's hitting .199 with 1 home run and 2 SB. Granted, he also has a .224 BABIP, so I would expect a correction. But the xERA is still only .223. Yikes!2.Kevin Alcantara is getting another shot. He can't hit, but there is speed and power. Your thoughts.a.BTW, quietly Spencer Jones was demoted last week. The fanfare of a demotion is never the same as that of a promotion.3.So it's not Franklin Arias at shortstop, the Red Sox are turning to Marcelo Mayer and his .216 batting average and .286 OBP. a.I really missed on this one. The bat speed is clearly there – ranking in the top quartile of the leagues, but his 87 mph EV and 9% of loft is making him an easy out. Makes great contact, it's just weak.i.Your thoughts?4.Gerrit Cole returned and the velo was spot on. The swing miss of his secondary stuff was not quite there but overall he looked good.a.Your thoughts?5.Cristopher Sanchez has pitched 37.2 of scoreless innings. How is that possible? He's also pitching extremely deep into games. Just dominant.6.Jonah Tong quietly got the call but it appears he will pitch out of the bullpen.a.Any interest?7.Taj Bradley is back, touching 100 mph and shoving it. On Saturday, he pitched 5 innings of one run ball, striking out 7.8.Zack Wheeler has been dominant since returning from TOS. I thought pitchers didn't come back very well from that?
