About this episode
Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner get you set for MLB Tuesday betting. Munaf and Griffin cover the entire Tuesday betting card and offer up best bets. 🎤 Quote Analysis with Speaker Names & Timestamps 🗣️ Munaf Manji (0:09–0:45) Introduces the podcast, recaps Opening Weekend, and transitions to Tuesday’s slate. 🗣️ Griffin Warner (0:55–2:05) Acknowledges a poor 0-2 betting start but expresses optimism. He highlights the Milwaukee Brewers' sweep in New York and their injury-plagued rotation. No betting lines are available for their upcoming game due to an unknown starting pitcher, emphasizing rotation depth issues . 🗣️ Munaf Manji (2:05–3:03) Focuses on the Yankees' power surge, attributing it partially to “ torpedo bats ,” reportedly used by Stanton last postseason. 🗣️ Griffin Warner (3:03–5:09) Discusses how the Yankees’ home-field power advantage—e.g., a leadoff home run by a catcher—helped sweep the Brewers. Shifts to Rafael Devers’ troubling start (0-for-16, most strikeouts in history to start a season) and criticizes Boston for keeping him in the lineup despite obvious struggles. 🗣️ Munaf & Griffin (5:09–7:04) Question whether to be concerned about the Braves after being swept by the Padres. They agree the early tough schedule (at San Diego and L.A. Dodgers) and Acuña’s absence mean it’s not time to panic. Emphasis is placed on avoiding injury rushbacks . 🗣️ Griffin Warner (7:04–9:18) Critiques the Astros for not locking up Kyle Tucker long-term. Uses this to segue into the analytical complexity of front office roles. Also reflects on the White Sox's fluctuating early performance and the value of backing underdogs like them. 📊 Player & Team Statistics + Analysis ⚾ Rafael Devers (Red Sox) Stat: 0-for-16 start; most strikeouts ever to start a season 🔍 Analysis: Coming off double shoulder injuries, his performance was called out by former Sox players; management may need to sit him. ⚾ Sandy Alcantara (Marlins) Game vs Pirates: 4 BB, 7 K, 2 ER over ~5 innings Career vs Mets: 3–5 record, 3.07 ERA 🧠 Insight: Often lacks run support. Valuable for first five inning bets due to bullpen unreliability. ⚾ Nathan Eovaldi (Rangers) Opening Weekend: 9 K, 1 HR allowed, dominated Red Sox 📌 Betting angle: Favorable K-prop and first 5-inning bets supported ⚾ Corbin Burnes (D-backs) 2024 vs Yankees: 2 starts, 2.45 ERA, 0–2 record, 11 IP, 2 HR allowed 🔍 Analysis: Has dominated Yankees, but Burnes is making his 2025 debut in hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. Yankees are rare home underdogs. ⚾ Kyle Hendricks (Angels) Career vs Cardinals: 14–4, 2.51 ERA in 28 starts 2024 (last year): 2 starts, 11.1 IP, 0 ER ✅ Betting lean: Strong history supports Angels as value play ⚾ Logan Gilbert (Mariners) Season Debut: 7 IP, 1 ER, 8 K, 0 BB ❗ Concern: Mariners' offense struggles to support great outings Learn more about your ad choices.
