    What I Bet - Tuesday June 23rd

    Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner is back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a full board edition of the What I Bet podcast, sweeping from the World Cup group stage into a fifteen game Major League Baseball card and riding a 2-0 run on his last two best bets, both cashed on Kansas City Royals games. He opens on the soccer pitch with Portugal against Uzbekistan at a neutral site, where the tournament debutant sits as a underdog of more than two goals, and he uses the spot to question both the newcomers and an expanded World Cup he believes is driven by money rather than competition. He cools on Portugal as a disappointing side despite a strong qualifying run, raises whether Cristiano Ronaldo is part of the problem, and tosses in a quick aside about Lionel Messi still finding the net. From there he digs into England against the Ghana Black Stars, calling the two goal favorite price extreme given a leaky England defense, recapping Ghana's stoppage time win over Panama, and landing on the underdog while admitting he likes the under even more. He moves to Panama against Croatia, framing the game around an aging Croatian core that has searched for a goal scorer for years, the departure of Marcelo Brozović, and Luka Modrić's careless early mistakes, leaning Panama plus the points and the under. He closes the international slate with the Democratic Republic of the Congo against Colombia, surprised the juice has drifted off Colombia, and he stakes a position on a stingy Congo side he believes can advance as a third place team, liking the underdog and the under. Then it is all baseball. Warner starts with the Houston Astros at the Toronto Blue Jays as Shane Bieber returns, leaning the Astros as underdogs behind Peter Lambert given the uncertainty. He highlights the New York Yankees at the Detroit Tigers, where Carlos Rodón faces Casey Mize, and he backs a red hot Detroit club fighting to stay in the playoff race so they do not have to trade Tarik Skubal. He reaches the Kansas City Royals at the Tampa Bay Rays, with Luinder Avila opposite Shane McClanahan, praising Avila's stuff and leaning the under again after the same play cashed the night before in a 2-1 final. He runs the rest of the board with quick, sharp leans, touching the Pittsburgh Pirates behind Mitch Keller against George Kirby, the Philadelphia Phillies with Jesús Luzardo against a Zack Littell he calls a walking launching pad, the Cincinnati Reds and Nick Lodolo against Brandon Sproat, the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets where Kodai Senga's number looks expensive, plus spots involving the Dodgers, Diamondbacks, the Boston Red Sox behind Sonny Gray, the Baltimore Orioles behind Shane Baz, and the Athletics against Robbie Ray. He shares promo code KICK50 for fifty dollars off an all access package at Pregame.com, dropping the price from 249 to 199 and covering every best bet through the Hall of Fame game on August 6th. He then locks the What I Bet best bet of the episode, staying where the juice has been made by riding the under in the Royals and Rays matchup with McClanahan and Avila on the mound. Under eight is the play, and Warner signs off chasing a third straight winner.

    Cash That Ticket - Monday June 22nd

    Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler open the new week on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a fully loaded Monday edition of Cash That Ticket, working through five MLB matchups and then delivering what Dave calls his strongest NFL win total call of the entire series so far on the Cleveland Browns. The guys come in off a split weekend, both taking their lumps and moving on with the goldfish memory approach that keeps the show rolling. On the baseball side, they start with the pitching matchup of the night in Detroit, where Garrett Cole faces Framber Valdez in a game the market has been moving aggressively, with the total climbing from seven and a half to eight and a half. Munaf lays out Cole's remarkable career dominance over the Tigers, a 10 and 1 record with a 1.84 ERA and the teams he has pitched for going 12 and 2 straight up, while Dave zeros in on the value of Cole at minus 130 and the case for a first five innings under before the bullpens get involved. In Toronto, Hunter Brown faces Dylan Cease in a matchup both hosts see as a first five innings situation, with the Astros bullpen too unreliable to back beyond that point and Cease's home splits revealing an ace-level pitcher who simply has not been getting run support. The Cubs and Mets game carries a significant weather caveat, with a 75 percent rain probability at Citi Field, but if it gets played both hosts fade Kodai Senga despite their deep skepticism about the Chicago offense, reasoning that Senga's recent run of seven home runs allowed and multiple short outings makes the Cubs the better side regardless. In Chicago, Munaf goes with the White Sox as a home underdog behind Anthony Kay, who carries a 3.08 home ERA and gets a Cleveland lineup that struggles against left-handed pitching. The Dodgers and Twins game draws both hosts to the Minnesota side, where Eric Lauer's brutal history against this specific team, thirteen earned runs in ten innings across his last two starts against the Twins, makes laying minus 155 with Los Angeles a non-starter. Both hosts land on the Twins at plus 128, with Munaf adding the Twins team total over in the first five innings. Dave closes the baseball segment with bonus looks at the Reds on the run line against Brendan Woodruff returning from the injured list, a possible under in Texas with Kumar Rocker, and the Red Sox in the first five at Coors. The second half of the episode belongs to the Cleveland Browns, who come in with a win total of six and a half and a roster that looks nothing like the team that went 5 and 12 last season. The Myles Garrett trade to the Rams for Jared Verse and three future draft picks wiped the slate clean, Todd Monken arrives as head coach with prior Cleveland experience and fresh Ravens divisional knowledge, and the quarterback room features Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel competing for snaps. Dave walks through a schedule that he calls extremely favorable, with the Panthers, Jets, Titans, Saints, Falcons, Colts and Giants all on the docket in winnable spots. He counts at least six wins from those matchups alone and calls this the team he feels most confident about in the win total series. Munaf throws out the bold take that the Browns could legitimately threaten for the AFC North title given that three of the four division teams have new coaches. Both hosts take the over. Best bets feature Dave on the Tampa Bay Rays minus half run in the first five innings behind Drew Rasmussen, who has been one of the most quietly dominant starters in baseball with a 0.88 WHIP and 29 strikeouts over his last three starts, and Munaf on the Yankees and Tigers first five innings under four and a half, backing both starters to control the early innings. Dave adds a weather-dependent bonus on the Cubs team total over four and a half against Senga and the Mets bullpen.

    What I Bet - Monday June 22nd

    Griffin Warner talks betting for Monday. Griffin Warner is back on the Pregame.com Podcast Network with episode 52 of What I Bet, the Monday, June 22nd edition, covering the full FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage card and the complete MLB slate before delivering a single best bet to close the show. Griffin opens by confirming the previous episode's winning play, Kansas City Royals at plus 113, a result that held on through a three-run ninth inning for a 6-5 final before moving straight into the World Cup. The first match on the board is Austria taking on defending champion Argentina at noon Central Time in Dallas, where Griffin observed real Austria supporter presence before making the tactical case for Ralf Rangnick's gegenpressing system as the one approach capable of limiting Messi's time and space. Griffin recaps Argentina's Matchday 1 win over Algeria, where Messi survived a red card situation and scored twice in the second half, and frames the Austria plus one and under two and a half combination as potentially live if the press works the way Rangnick, widely credited as the architect of that style and an influence on coaches like Xabi Alonso, designs it to work. Next up is France against Iraq, where Griffin acknowledges France is on another level after Kylian Mbappe's stoppage-time goal from outside the box buried all underdogs and unders in Matchday 1, and sees no compelling case for Iraq to compete. Griffin identifies Norway versus Senegal as the best match of the day, noting Erling Haaland scored twice in Norway's opener while Senegal impressed for 64 minutes against France before conceding a late Mbappe goal, finding the under two and a half and Senegal as a quarter-goal underdog both worth watching. The final group stage match features a must-win Algeria side returning after a 3-0 loss to Argentina taking on a Jordan team whose best European-league player, Mousa Al-Tamari, the so-called Jordanian Messi playing club football in France, did not show up in the opener. Griffin finds the one-goal spread too tight given Algeria's talent depth and expects sharp money to push the line before kickoff. Baseball follows with a ten-game slate preview. Griffin likes the under 8 in Yankees-Tigers with Garrett Cole back and a worrying Detroit bullpen, the under 7.5 in Royals-Rays with Michael Wacha and Drew Rasmussen both going well and a Tampa Bay team not built to score, the Astros at plus 104 against Toronto with Hunter Brown making a second start opposite Shane Bieber's first of the year, a slight Mets lean at plus 103 against the Cubs with Shota Imanaga's fly ball tendencies a concern against Kodai Senga, the White Sox at home over an injury-thinned Guardians roster missing José Ramírez after hamate surgery, a tempting Merrill Kelly plus 122 number against Andre Pallante in St. Louis, the over on Jason Bennett's rookie Coors Field debut for Boston, and a lean toward the under in the Braves-Padres matchup where Grant Holmes faces Michael King, with both bullpens strong and Ronald Acuña Jr. sidelined by a hamstring injury. Griffin closes with his official What I Bet Best Bet: Kansas City Royals under 7.5 at Tampa Bay Rays at minus 120, with a recommendation to sprinkle on the under 4 in the first half as well.

    Cash That Ticket - Friday June 19th

    Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Dave Essler and Munaf Manji are back with a full Friday MLB betting card on Cash That Ticket, working through four sharply analyzed games before closing with an early look at the 2025 New York Jets win total. The show opens with Milwaukee at Atlanta, where Dave breaks down the remarkable turnaround of the Brewers starting pitcher, who allowed 11 earned runs in April but has surrendered just one total earned run in his last eight starts, including a complete game on 95 pitches. With Martin Perez on the mound for Atlanta, Munaf pulls the historical data showing Perez gave up 14 earned runs and 20 hits across two 2024 starts against Milwaukee. Both hosts find the Brewers run line and the Braves team total under three and a half at minus 145 on DraftKings as the most defensible angles, particularly with Ronald Acuna Jr. absent from the Atlanta lineup. The second game is San Diego at Texas, where Jacob deGrom takes the mound coming off four consecutive starts of two runs or fewer. Dave examines Randy Vasquez's road splits and limited Texas exposure, but the first five innings under at four and the Rangers minus a half run in the first five become the consensus plays. Dave makes the Rangers first five his official best bet of the Friday card at minus 130. The third game pits St. Louis against Kansas City, where Seth Lugo is returning from a concussion sustained when a comebacker struck him in the head. Dave questions betting behind any pitcher returning from that kind of head injury, and Lugo's home ERA of 4.06 across eight starts reinforces the concern. The Cardinals team total over four and a half is Dave's preferred market, while Munaf goes Cardinals money line at minus 122 on DraftKings as his official best bet for the card, citing McGreevey's strong rotation work and the line movement from minus 115 to minus 122 confirming market direction. The fourth game takes Boston to Seattle, where Ranger Suarez faces Bryce Miller at home. Despite heavy public money on the Mariners, Dave identifies reverse line movement pointing toward sharp Red Sox money and targets the Red Sox first five at plus 104, refusing to touch the full game given the Boston bullpen. A secondary look at the first five over three and a half rounds out the analysis, with Munaf noting Miller's career struggles against Boston totaling 14 earned runs in 15 and a third career innings against the Red Sox. The second half of the show turns to the Jets win total at five and a half, minus 120 on DraftKings. Both hosts land reluctantly on the over, reasoning that a team which won three games while giving up 503 points and recording zero interceptions on defense cannot realistically repeat that level of dysfunction. Geno Smith, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, a legitimate offensive line, and a new defensive scheme give New York enough pieces to reach six or seven wins. Dave jokes he may take the Jets over one interception this season with week one at Tennessee providing the first opportunity. The show closes with a reminder to use promo code STEAL50 at pregame.com for 50 dollars off All Access Bridge to Football, bringing the price to 199 dollars through the Hall of Fame game on August 6th.

    What I Bet - Friday June 19th

    Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin "Real G" Warner hosts this episode of What I Bet from the Straight Outta Vegas AM podcast feed, battling through a bout of Montezuma's revenge picked up during a trip to the World Cup in Mexico, but delivering a complete and sharp betting breakdown for Friday, June 19th, covering four FIFA World Cup group stage matches and a full Major League Baseball slate without missing a beat. Warner opens with the United States against Australia in Seattle, questioning Australia's ability to score at all against the Americans and landing on an Australia team total under as his most interesting number in that window, with the total having climbed from two and a quarter to two and a half. He moves to Morocco against Scotland in Boston, where he respects Morocco's credible draw with Brazil but cannot ignore Scotland's fundamental inability to put the ball in the net, leading him toward another team total under look at two and a quarter while flagging the important distinction between the two and two and a quarter lines. Brazil and Haiti gets a pass from Warner given the competitive imbalance, though he offers the notable observation that Brazil entered this 2026 World Cup as only a fourth or fifth global favorite despite their historic status. He wraps up the World Cup section on Turkey versus Paraguay, the most contested matchup of the group, raising concerns about Turkey's lineup decisions against Australia and their long track record of underperforming in major international competitions. On the MLB side, Warner covers every game on the board, identifying the Atlanta Braves as a genuinely compelling home underdog against Jacob Mizerowski and the Brewers, calling Atlanta the best team in baseball not named the Dodgers, and finding value on the Cleveland Guardians at plus 111 visiting Houston. He also leans toward the Twins as plus 147 underdogs at Arizona and likes the under in Seattle where strong winds were a factor the night before. Warner wraps the episode with the Pregame.com promo code KICK50, which gets listeners $50 off All Access football packages through the Hall of Fame Game on August 6th and expires June 29th, before delivering his What I Bet Best Bet, Kansas City Royals and Seth Lugo at plus 113 at home against the St. Louis Cardinals in one of the better rivalry games on the Friday card.

    Cash That Ticket - Wednesday June 17th

    Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler dig into a full Wednesday MLB slate and a Miami Dolphins NFL win total preview on this episode of Cash That Ticket from the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed. After a frustrating Tuesday that included a missed Mets team total over and a quick first five under loss, the hosts turn the page into seven matchups across the league. They fade Max Scherzer and the Blue Jays against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, lean toward a White Sox run line angle against Carlos Rodon and the Yankees, skip a Giants and Braves game with no confirmed starter, lean under in a Guardians and Brewers matchup with Gavin Williams showing signs of fatigue, split slightly on the Rockies and Cubs at Wrigley Field before settling on the Cubs run line, both like the over between Kyle Bradish and George Kirby in an Orioles and Mariners matchup with a long history of flipped results, and circle back to a Pirates team total over against Aaron Savali and the Athletics after Pittsburgh's dramatic comeback win the night before. Once the baseball card wraps, the show shifts into its ongoing daily NFL win total series, turning to the Miami Dolphins, who enter the 2026 season at a win total of four and a half coming off a 7 and 10 finish and a rocky 1 and 6 start the year before. The hosts walk through a new coaching staff led by Jeff Halfley, a wide open quarterback competition, the production lost with Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle no longer part of the offense, and a closing schedule stretch loaded with cold weather road trips and playoff caliber opponents, ultimately landing on the under for Miami's season total. Along the way they break down a Week 1 trip to Las Vegas against the Raiders as a potential swing game for the entire season, discuss trade speculation around running back Devon Achan, and touch on a draft class that left the receiver room thin until the third round. Before wrapping, the hosts remind listeners about the All Access Bridge to Football promotion at pregame.com, available with the code STEAL50S for fifty dollars off, running all the way through the Hall of Fame Game on August 6. Best bets close out the show, with Dave texting in a Pirates team total over after his internet connection dropped and Munaf siding with a Red Sox team total over against a struggling Max Scherzer. It is another full day of betting analysis, statistical breakdowns, and football season previews from two hosts who handle the wins and the losses with the same sense of humor, setting the table for tomorrow's continuation of the team by team NFL win total series and another full slate of action across baseball and beyond. That covers all seven outputs in document-only mode. A few names came through the audio in forms that look like likely transcription artifacts (Anthony K, Brandon Sprout, Tuchel Atwell, Landon Rope, Jeff Halfley, among others).

    What I Bet - June 17th

    Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. Griffin Warner marks a milestone 50th episode of What I Bet on the Pregame.com Podcast Network, broadcasting on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed while still shaking off the effects of a rough trip to Mexico for a World Cup match in Monterrey. He opens with a full breakdown of four 2026 World Cup group stage matches starting with Portugal against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he calls Portugal's roster around Cristiano Ronaldo and goalkeeper Diogo Costa one of the most stacked attacking units in the tournament, while wondering whether DR Congo's defense, a unit that impressed during a low scoring Africa Cup of Nations, can hold up against ninety minutes of sustained possession. He leans toward the under in that match while noting that DR Congo is competing on the world stage even as the country manages a real Ebola outbreak back home. From there he moves to England against Croatia, calling it the most interesting match of the day, explaining why he thinks the total is priced too low given how much control Croatia can exert, and why he is willing to grab a smaller plus money number on the underdog before it disappears. He rounds out the soccer card with leans toward the under in Ghana against Panama and a skeptical read on both sides of Uzbekistan against Colombia. The show then pivots into a marathon Major League Baseball Wednesday slate covering thirteen games, opening with a quick recap of a previous pick that landed as a push before working through Reds and Mets, Marlins and Phillies, Royals and Nationals, Tigers and Astros, Rays and Dodgers, Angels and Diamondbacks, Blue Jays and Red Sox, White Sox and Yankees, Giants and Braves, Guardians and Brewers, Rockies and Cubs, Orioles and Mariners, and Pirates and Athletics. Across that stretch Warner shares his read on starting pitching matchups, flags getaway day spots and bullpen mismatches he thinks the market is underrating, and explains why he is drawn to certain home underdogs and against certain heavily favored arms. He gives extended attention to Casey Mize returning from the injured list for Detroit, Kyle Bradish facing a strong Seattle lineup while pitching for Baltimore, and Samuel Aldegheri, the Italian born left hander for the Angels, drawing a tough Arizona lineup. Before closing the show, Warner thanks listeners for sticking around through fifty episodes, points them toward his social media for feedback, and shares a discount code worth fifty dollars off the network's All Access package, which covers every best bet across every sport through the Hall of Fame Game in August and brings the season long price down to one hundred ninety nine dollars for a limited window. He wraps the episode with his official best bet of the day on the Atlanta Braves moneyline, a pick built directly around his read on the opposing Giants starting pitcher. Listeners looking for a complete walkthrough of the day's biggest betting angles across soccer and baseball, along with the reasoning behind each lean rather than just a list of picks, will find this episode covers an unusually wide range of sports in a single sitting while still digging into the specific matchup details that drive Warner's process from game to game.
