    Cash That Ticket - Wednesday July 29th

    Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the Wednesday, July 29 edition of Cash That Ticket by celebrating a winning start to the week, a one and zero best bet outing thanks to Essler's Brewers cashing convincingly, before diving into a full slate of afternoon and evening baseball. The two work through Guardians at Reds first, questioning why Cleveland starter Joey Cantillo is priced as such a heavy favorite given a pair of rough outings since the All Star break, and land on the Reds team total over along with a first five innings lean given how hitter friendly the ballpark tends to play. From there they move to Yankees at White Sox, where Cam Schlittlers wild variance this season gets weighed against strong road splits, an eight and two record and a sub two ERA away from home, pushing both hosts toward New York in the first five innings. The Cubs and Cardinals get a long look next, with Matthew Boyd's recent form squared off against a Dustin May start that has both hosts unsure which version of the right hander will show up, ultimately settling on a first five innings under given two bullpens that could swing either way. The night's headline matchup, Astros at Angels, brings out the strongest conviction of the show, with both hosts pounding Houston in the first five innings and on the team total over against a Los Angeles starter who has been hit hard in four of his last five outings and carries a home ERA over ten. Healthy again, Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez comes up repeatedly throughout the show as the engine behind Houston's offense, with both hosts hoping the rest of the lineup can find its footing around him. A quick tour of the remaining card touches on Detroit ace Tarik Skubal possibly making his final start before a trade, a Rangers and Rays first five lean, a pass on a heavily priced Royals and Twins game, a small ballpark total lean in Boston, and a Dodgers first five pick on the run line against Seattle with the wind blowing out in Los Angeles. The back half of the show pivots to football, continuing an ongoing win total series with a detailed breakdown of the Chicago Bears at nine and a half wins heading into year two under head coach Ben Johnson. One host leans toward the over, pointing to quarterback development, returning continuity on offense, and a schedule that could open favorably, while the other leans toward the under, citing a demanding road slate, a receiver room thinned by an offseason trade, and a tougher overall conference gauntlet. Both agree to revisit the number several weeks into the season once more information is available. The show wraps with best bets for the night, one host riding a Cardinals first five pick behind Dustin May, the other sticking with the Astros team total over against a struggling Angels starter, plus a reminder to check out the sponsor offer for MLB coverage running through the World Series. The two close with a look ahead to Thursday's episode, which turns the win total series toward the Los Angeles Chargers and their quarterback, along with a story about the surprising number of loyal fans who once traveled to a freezing January road game to support their team.

    What I Bet - Wednesday July 29th

    Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. On episode 73 of What I Bet, Griffin Warner runs through the entire July 29 Major League Baseball card before landing on his best bet of the night, opening with a check on his previous pick, Detroit on the money line at minus 130, while noting his recent form of four and two over his last six selections, eight and four over his last twelve, ten and five over his last fifteen, and thirteen and seven over his last twenty. He works methodically through the slate, starting with Jesus Luzardo and the Phillies visiting Ryan Gusto and a Marlins club fresh off a stunning comeback win, then moves into a genuine Wild Card scrap between Eduardo Rodriguez and the Diamondbacks and Jared Jones and the Pirates, a Blue Jays trip to face Zack Littell and the Nationals, and the opener of a Braves Mets doubleheader featuring AJ Smith-Shawver's return from elbow surgery against Sean Manaea. Warner covers Trevor Rogers and the Orioles taking on a Tigers club leaning on Tarik Skubal, a low scoring look at Shane Drohan and the Brewers against Logan Webb and the Giants, a Rangers trip to face a Rays bullpen game fronted by Casey Legumina, and Joey Cantillo pitching for the Guardians against a surging Cincinnati offense behind Brady Singer. He previews the Braves Mets doubleheader nightcap between Chris Sale and Christian Scott, a Yankees White Sox matchup pitting Cam Schlittler against Davis Martin, a Royals Twins game with Randy Dobnak on the mound for Kansas City, Matthew Boyd and the Cubs visiting Dustin May and the Cardinals, Hayden Wesneski's 2026 debut for Houston against Grayson Rodriguez and the Angels, Patrick Sandoval and the Red Sox against Jacob Lopez and the Athletics, and closes the card with a marquee matchup between Emerson Hancock and the Mariners against Eric Lauer and the Dodgers. Throughout, Warner breaks down current moneylines, run totals, and juice on both sides, weighs bullpen strength and recent form, and flags which underdogs he believes are priced fairly and which are not. He shares a Pregame.com promotional code, HIT50, that saves fifty dollars on his Major League Baseball second half all access package covering every pick through the World Series, bringing the regular 349 dollar price down to 299 dollars through August 10, while noting he is plus 23.92 MLB units on the season with a goal of doubling that total. Warner closes the show with his official best bet for the episode, the under seven and a half runs in game two of the Braves Mets doubleheader, built around Chris Sale on the mound for Atlanta against Christian Scott for New York, explaining that he leans toward the under nearly every time Sale pitches and does not fully trust a recent Mets offensive uptick against a true ace working on a turnaround between games. It is a comprehensive, game by game breakdown of a packed Wednesday slate from one of the more consistent voices in the sports betting podcast space, capping a stretch in which Warner has gone thirteen and seven over his last twenty selections while building toward a season long goal of forty units won.

    Cash That Ticket - Tuesday July 28th

    Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler reunite on Cash That Ticket for a full breakdown of the Tuesday, July 28 major league baseball card, opening with a look back at Monday's near miss on the Washington Nationals team total tied to Max Scherzer's return from the injured list, a bet that looked live after the Nationals loaded the bases in the first inning before stranding the chance. From there the hosts move through an early Guardians and Reds doubleheader before turning to the night's headline matchups, starting with the Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins, where neither host wants any part of Aaron Nola after a season of allowing home runs at an alarming rate, leaning instead toward Sandy Alcantara and Miami in the first five innings or the game total after the Marlins snapped a rough stretch with a walk off comeback win. The Arizona Diamondbacks and Pittsburgh Pirates follow, with Brandon Pfaadt and Bubba Chandler both expected to work deep after heavy bullpen usage in Monday's extra innings finish, pushing both hosts toward the first five under. The day's featured play comes from Citi Field, where Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves visit a New York Mets club already missing Juan Soto for four to six weeks, and both hosts argue Christian Scott is being undervalued in a heavily juiced line, settling on the first five under four as Munaf Manji's best bet of the show. Attention then shifts to the Bronx, where Cody Bellinger joining Aaron Judge on the injured list adds another dent to a Yankees lineup that has produced little run support for Gerrit Cole in his last three starts, sending both hosts toward Anthony Kay and the Chicago White Sox in the first five innings. The Chicago Cubs and St Louis Cardinals bring a rare moment of full agreement on the Cardinals team total over, powered by Colin Rea's steep home and road split and Michael McGreevy's strong numbers pitching at home despite a lack of run support. Out west, Peter Lambert and the Houston Astros face Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels, with both hosts landing on the first five under behind two of the more underrated arms in the game, before the conversation turns to Houston's trade deadline outlook, touching on rookie right hander Tatsuya Imai's surprising climb into Rookie of the Year odds and speculation linking shortstop Jeremy Pena to the Boston Red Sox. Dave Essler closes the card with his own best bet, backing Logan Henderson and the Milwaukee Brewers in the first five innings against the San Francisco Giants, while also weighing a Boston Red Sox team total over against the Athletics in hot weather and a Minnesota Twins team total lean against the Kansas City Royals. Munaf Manji wraps the card with a Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres total play and a note on the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Dodgers series, where the presumed Dodgers starter never actually got confirmed. The two close the show by previewing football season, noting all 32 NFL teams have reported to training camp with the Hall of Fame Game and the start of the show's NFL win total series, beginning Wednesday with the Chicago Bears, both on the horizon, and remind listeners that Pregame dot com is offering full season access to every college football and NFL pick through the Super Bowl using the promo code Super777 for 777 dollars. Cash That Ticket airs daily on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, delivering sharp, betting focused analysis for listeners looking to navigate a busy midsummer baseball schedule while the sports calendar begins its turn toward football, and this episode offers a complete look at every marquee pitching matchup, injury development, and trade deadline storyline shaping Tuesday's slate across the major leagues.

    What I Bet - Tuesday July 28th

    Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner runs the entire Tuesday, July 28 Major League Baseball card on What I Bet, building his own numbers before diving into a sixteen-game slate that opens with a Battle of Ohio doubleheader and closes on the West Coast. He starts with a quick note on recent form, four wins in the last five, eight and three in the last eleven, ten and four in the last fourteen, and thirteen and six in the last nineteen, before working through the board game by game. Slade Cecconi and the Guardians open against Chase Burns and the Reds in Game 1 of a doubleheader created by a postponed opener, and Griffin says he would rather see Gavin Williams on the mound for Cleveland while still liking the under. Brandon Pfaadt and Arizona travel to face Bubba Chandler and the Pirates, with Griffin siding with a cheap Diamondbacks price against a team he thinks has the better roster. Aaron Nola and the Phillies visit Sandy Alcantara and a reeling Marlins club, and Griffin explains why he still does not trust Nola despite Miami's twelve game skid, pointing to Philadelphia letting Ranger Suarez leave as a longer term concern. Cal Quantrill and the Rangers face Griffin Jax and the Rays in a game Griffin mostly avoids given Tampa Bay's strength at limiting runs at home. The clearest opinion of the show comes on Dean Kremer and the Orioles visiting Troy Melton and the Tigers, where Griffin argues Detroit is undervalued and Kremer keeps earning more market respect than he deserves, referencing a rough recent start against Houston. Shane Bieber and the Blue Jays face Cade Cavalli and a shaky Washington bullpen, Chris Sale and the Braves visit Christian Scott and the Mets with Griffin leaning the under, and Game 2 of the doubleheader brings Brady Singer against Gavin Williams and the Guardians in a spot Griffin mostly passes on. Gerrit Cole and the Yankees travel to face Anthony Kay and a struggling White Sox team, Seth Lugo and the Royals face Taj Bradley and a Minnesota bullpen that has quietly turned into a strength, and Griffin leans hard to the under there. Colin Rea and the Cubs visit Michael McGreevy and the Cardinals, with Griffin backing St. Louis over a Chicago staff propped up by its defense. Peter Lambert and the Astros face Reid Detmers and the Angels, and Griffin explains why he believes in Lambert and why Jeremy Pena might be the hottest hitter he has watched all year. Michael Lorenzen and the Rockies visit Michael King and the Padres, Jake Bennett and the Red Sox travel to face Gage Jump and the Athletics in Sacramento, and Logan Henderson and the Brewers face Landen Roupp and the Giants in a matchup Griffin likes on pitching alone. The card wraps with Luis Castillo and the Mariners facing Eric Lauer and the Dodgers, a spot Griffin leans over if the total drops. He closes the episode with his single What I Bet best bet of the night, the Detroit Tigers minus 130 at home over the Baltimore Orioles, built on confidence in Troy Melton and skepticism of Dean Kremer's price. Along the way he points listeners to a promo code worth ninety eight dollars in savings on football season access packages running all the way through the Super Bowl, starting with the Hall of Fame Game on August 6.

    Cash That Ticket - Monday July 27th

    Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. A new week of baseball betting opens with a full breakdown of the Monday MLB card, starting with a look back at a tough finish to last week when a Diamondbacks team total fell one run short, and rolling into a heavy dose of Sunday scoring across the league that set up several of Monday's angles, including a detailed look at how teams coming off Sunday Night Baseball perform in their next game on the road, a trend that has favored the over at a rate above seventy percent across multiple seasons and puts a red hot Phillies offense in a fascinating spot against a Miami Marlins team that has dropped twelve straight games, with Zach Wheeler's dominant season and long track record against Miami weighed against Tyler Phillips and his much stronger home numbers, landing on a total rather than a side. From there the card moves to Pittsburgh, where a shaky Merrill Kelly has quietly turned things around over his last four outings while Mitch Keller continues to struggle at home and at night, pointing toward a first five innings total with an eye on rain chances around first pitch. The headline matchup of the day sends Max Scherzer back to the mound for Toronto after more than a month and a half on the injured list, and his rough underlying numbers this season, paired with a well worn trend of fading pitchers fresh off the injured list and a Washington offense that just put up double digit runs, form the basis of the day's featured best bet on the Nationals team total. Atlanta and New York also get a full look, with Ronald Acuna Jr still working back from a leg issue and Juan Soto sidelined for a month or more, while Mets starter Zach Thornton has quietly turned in one of the best individual seasons in the rotation despite getting almost no run support, setting up a first five innings lean toward New York. Out west, Houston and the Angels both trot out starters who have battled control issues all year, suggesting a game that could be decided by which lineup stays patient and draws walks rather than which arm dominates, with a lean toward the total and a slight preference for the home side. A quick tour through the rest of the schedule touches on a heavy favorite in Cincinnati, the Yankees rolling into Chicago as a big favorite, and matchups on the west coast rounding out the night, before closing with a reminder about a football season ticket package covering every pick through the Super Bowl and National Championship for a flat price using a promo code. The episode wraps with the day's single best bet, a team total angle built on a struggling former ace returning from injury and an offense trending in the right direction, delivered in the same straightforward, numbers first style that runs through the rest of the breakdown, mixing pitcher splits, home and road trends, and situational betting angles into one complete rundown of everything worth knowing before locking in a Monday ticket.

    What I Bet - Monday July 27th

    Griffin Warner talks betting for Monday. Griffin Warner runs through the full July 27 Major League Baseball card on this episode of What I Bet, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on Pregame.com, arriving with a betting record of 4 and 1 in his last 5, 8 and 3 in his last 11, 10 and 4 in his last 14, and 13 and 6 in his last 19, even after a tough Friday loss on the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs game that unraveled in extra innings once Pittsburgh's bullpen got exposed. He opens by flagging the first trade of deadline season, the Boston Red Sox sending a young pitching prospect out for a veteran infielder just days after the club tied a franchise record with a 15 game winning streak, one of the longest runs in team history. From there Griffin works through all 11 games on Monday's slate, starting with an early afternoon window between the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers that got pushed up because of World Cup activity around the ballpark complex in the Dallas area. Seattle enters off a dramatic comeback win Sunday behind a go ahead three run homer from Dominic Canzone, and Griffin questions how Texas has been using its bullpen arms in high leverage spots. He breaks down George Kirby against Kumar Rocker, the movement on Seattle's price, and why the Rangers as home underdogs along with the game total look like the most interesting angles. Next comes a deep look at Philadelphia hosting Miami, with Zach Wheeler opposing Tyler Phillips, Griffin's long standing trust in Wheeler, and the fallout from a physical Yankees series that left New York banged up heading into the week. He touches on Philadelphia's aging roster, its fifth starter search, and lands on the under as his preferred angle. The show continues through Arizona visiting Pittsburgh with Merrill Kelly on the mound, Baltimore traveling to Detroit still shaking off a gutting extra inning loss to Atlanta, Max Scherzer returning from injury to face his former club in Washington, the Mets hosting Atlanta with a rookie chasing his second win, a Battle of Ohio matchup between Cleveland and Cincinnati, the Yankees visiting a surprising White Sox club atop the American League Central, Houston visiting the Angels, Boston traveling to face an Athletics team getting a key bat back from injury, and Milwaukee closing the card in San Francisco. Along the way Griffin shares live odds movement, first five inning numbers, bullpen availability notes, and the reasoning behind each lean, all delivered in his usual direct, conversational style. He wraps the card breakdown with a rundown of the current Pregame.com promo code before delivering his official What I Bet best bet of the day, a lean built around trusting a proven arm even at a reduced number. Whether you are tracking totals, first five inning props, or straight sides, this episode covers the entire Monday board in one sitting, with the kind of matchup context and injury notes that shape sharp, informed betting decisions across a full slate of Major League Baseball action.

    Cash That Ticket - Friday July 24th

    Munaf Manji talks betting for Friday. Munaf Manji hosts this Friday, July 24, 2026 edition of Cash That Ticket solo once again, with his usual co host away handling a personal matter and expected back for Monday's show. He opens by recapping a winning Thursday built around a light five game slate, highlighted by the Detroit Tigers covering the first five innings run line against the Kansas City Royals before rallying to an eight to three win overall. From there he shifts into the bigger picture around the league as the trade deadline approaches, walking through persistent rumors that Tigers ace Tarik Skubal could become available, with the Los Angeles Dodgers viewed as the most aggressive suitor and the Milwaukee Brewers floated as a dark horse fit alongside young starter Jacob Misiorowski. He runs through the American League standings, noting the Detroit Tigers sitting at fifty four and forty nine through one hundred three games yet only six games back in a bunched AL Central, drawing a comparison to the Cleveland Guardians historic comeback from a season ago. He also covers a wide open AL West with no team above five hundred, along with a National League picture that shows more separation, led by an Atlanta Braves club four and a half games clear of the Philadelphia Phillies and a Los Angeles Dodgers team eleven games ahead in the NL West with the league's best run differential. With the landscape set, Munaf works through six matchups from Friday's ten game card. He starts with the Chicago Cubs at the Pittsburgh Pirates, weighing Matthew Boyd's rough road history against Pittsburgh against Jared Jones's improving recent form, and lands on the Pirates in the first five innings. He then breaks down the New York Yankees at the Philadelphia Phillies, pointing to Cam Schlittler's dominant road splits against Jesus Luzardo's home struggles at Citizens Bank Park, backing New York on the money line. He turns to the Arizona Diamondbacks hosting the Washington Nationals, highlighting Eduardo Rodriguez's consistent season and Washington's poor recent history in home series openers, which sets up his best bet of the night on the Diamondbacks team total. He covers the Atlanta Braves opening a series at the Baltimore Orioles, calling it the toughest read of the card and leaning toward the under. He previews the Los Angeles Dodgers visiting the New York Mets, targeting the Dodgers team total given Roki Sasaki's home run troubles and a Mets offense that has gone quiet lately. He closes matchup coverage with the Seattle Mariners at the Texas Rangers, siding with the home underdog Rangers behind Mackenzie Gore's strong home splits against Bryce Miller's poor career history in Texas. Throughout the show, Munaf references weather conditions at each ballpark and how tightly the betting board has moved compared to earlier in the season, when heavy favorites were far more common across the schedule. He wraps the show by naming the Arizona Diamondbacks team total over four and a half his best bet of the day, built on Washington's tendency to allow runs in series openers at home, and thanks listeners for sticking with him through a second straight week without his co host, promising more baseball and football coverage in the days ahead as the weekend series get underway around the league.
