Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. Munaf Manji goes solo on this edition of Cash That Ticket, holding down the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on Monday, July 20, 2026, while his usual co-host handles a personal matter, and he wastes no time diving into a packed MLB second half slate just a day after Spain claimed the 2026 World Cup title, with college football, the NFL, and the EPL all now less than seven weeks away. Munaf opens with a quick look back at Sunday's doubleheader split between the Yankees and Dodgers before turning to the night's marquee matchups, starting with Joe Ryan and the Twins traveling into Cleveland to face Tanner Bibee and the Guardians, a matchup he frames as a likely low scoring affair and ultimately builds into his top play of the day, the first five innings staying under four total runs. From there he shifts to Yankee Stadium, where Braxton Ashcraft and the Pittsburgh Pirates take on Ryan Weathers and a Yankees offense that has struggled to generate runs without Aaron Judge in the lineup, leading Munaf to back the Pirates on the money line. He then breaks down a series opener in Philadelphia between Emmet Sheehan and the Dodgers against a red hot Christopher Sanchez, who Munaf argues belongs in the National League Cy Young conversation given his dominant numbers at home, structuring his play around the Phillies on the run line rather than the straight money line. The show spends real time on the Boston Red Sox, winners of thirteen straight games, as they host the streaking Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park in a matchup with direct implications for the tightening American League wild card race, with Shane Baz opposing Payton Tolle and Munaf ultimately favoring the Red Sox across the first five innings rather than laying the bigger number on the full game given recent bullpen concerns. Munaf also previews a high total matchup at Wrigley Field between Jack Flaherty and the Tigers against Jameson Taillon and the Cubs, where strong winds blowing out are expected to boost scoring, along with a brief mention of the Miami Marlins as a value side against Ronel Blanco and the Astros. Before wrapping the show, Munaf reminds listeners about pregame.com's promo code STAR25, good for twenty five percent off any purchase on the site, including a discounted second half MLB all access package that covers every pick through the World Series, and shares that he is running a strong profit margin in MLB betting since he began tracking results back in mid-May. The episode closes with a recap of the top play of the day, the Twins and Guardians staying under four runs through the first five innings behind Joe Ryan and Tanner Bibee, and a preview of tomorrow's show, when Munaf's usual co-host is expected to return and the two plan to pick back up their ongoing coverage of MLB alongside their season long series ranking NFL win totals as football season approaches.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. On this Friday edition closing out the first half of the baseball season, Munaf Manji and Dave Essler run through a full slate of matchups before turning their attention to an NFL win total preview on the Dallas Cowboys, all while being honest about a rougher stretch of results over the past couple weeks. Dave opens by noting he cashed his client best bet on the Brewers first five the night before, and he shares that he likes Matt Fitzpatrick and Rory heading through their respective golf rounds. Munaf explains that Thursday cards have been a consistent trouble spot this season, largely because of the thin getaway day schedule, and he pledges never to force plays just to have something on the board every day. The two then work through four featured games in careful detail. In the nation's capital, Ryan Weathers and the Yankees face Carson Palmquist and the Nationals, with both hosts leaning heavily on the over given Palmquist's expected short outing, a shaky Nationals bullpen, and a Nationals lineup that leads the majors in runs scored, plus a standout trend showing the Nationals going twelve and three to the over in the first game of a home series this season. In Tampa Bay, Luis Castillo and the Mariners take on Nick Martinez and the Rays, with the pair pointing to Castillo's poor history following high pitch count starts and Martinez owning a career mark of zero and four against Seattle, landing both hosts on the over and some added interest in the Rays moneyline. In Miami, Parker Messick faces Sandy Alcantara in what both expect to be a tightly pitched affair, with a detailed discussion of pitch count trends, Jose Ramirez potentially returning to the Guardians lineup soon, and Alcantara's strong home splits this season. In Cincinnati, Shota Imanaga takes on a struggling Hunter Greene coming off a brutal return from injury, with both hosts leaning toward the Cubs in the first five innings and citing Imanaga's strong career track record against the Reds, including a ten strikeout effort earlier this season. The conversation also touches briefly on several other games around the board, including Chris Sale and the Braves against the Cardinals, the Dodgers as rare underdogs against the Diamondbacks, a total that spiked from nine and a half to ten and a half between Baltimore and Kansas City, action involving the Athletics and White Sox, a total shift in the Astros and Rangers game, the Angels and Twins, Phillies and Tigers, Red Sox and Mets, and a notable total jump in the Blue Jays and Padres matchup. From there, the show shifts into a lengthy and opinionated breakdown of the Dallas Cowboys ahead of the coming NFL season, with a win total set at nine and a half. Dave delivers an extended take on ownership, ongoing questions about the new defensive coordinator and head coaching staff, and why he continues to side with the under until the results prove otherwise, while Munaf highlights a brut

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner opens the latest episode of the What I Bet podcast with a full breakdown of the biggest remaining World Cup quarterfinal, Belgium against Spain, before working through the entire Major League Baseball card and landing on the night's featured best bet, all while riding a hot recent stretch that has the show at nine wins and four losses across its last thirteen selections. Belgium arrives having stunned the United States in Seattle, a result built on an aggressive opening from a golden generation anchored by Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, and longtime goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, a group Warner calls the most talented in the nation's history despite years of underachievement on the international stage. He walks through how that match turned on a costly American goalkeeping mistake and frames this tournament as potentially the last realistic chance at glory for this core of Belgian players. Standing across from them is a Spanish side Warner considers more dominant than Argentina, even though Spain has looked shakier than expected this tournament, dealing with injury concerns around Lamine Yamal and fellow winger Nico Williams and needing a stoppage time goal to escape Portugal. Warner argues Spain remains a sleeping giant given its championship pedigree dating back to 2010 and its sustained run of success at the Euros, and he walks listeners through how the betting market has shifted, with Belgium drawing real money on the spread and the total climbing from two and a half goals toward two and three quarters. On the outright market to advance, Spain has moved from minus three hundred thirty five down toward minus three fifteen while Belgium has drifted back out to plus two sixty five, a swing Warner ties directly to bettors buying into the Belgian upset. From there the show pivots into the Major League Baseball card, where Warner builds his own numbers from scratch before comparing them to the market in real time. He covers bullpen concerns in Pittsburgh, a Yankees lineup trying to bounce back from a rough outing in Tampa, a Washington offense that has hit consistently all season, a Kansas City team he wants no part of, a red hot Miami bullpen, and a Boston starter pitching with something to prove after being left off the All-Star roster. He continues through matchups involving Cincinnati and Chicago, Seattle and Tampa Bay, Houston and Texas, Atlanta and St. Louis, Toronto and San Diego, Arizona and Los Angeles, and Colorado and San Francisco, offering a lean or a pass on nearly every game while explaining exactly what is driving each number. The episode closes with the night's featured best bet, Minnesota at home against the Los Angeles Angels, with Warner backing the Twins as Los Angeles wraps up a second consecutive road series heading into the All-Star break. Listeners can find the full show daily on Pregame Now and can save money on World Cup coverage and individual day picks using a p

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Dave Essler open Thursday's episode of Cash That Ticket riding a two-for-two night on best bets, having cashed the Washington Nationals team total over four and a half against the Houston Astros and a comfortable Padres win the night before, before turning their full attention to a busy getaway-day slate across Major League Baseball. The two work through nearly every matchup on the six-forty Eastern window, starting with the Athletics and Tigers in Detroit, where a late bullpen shuffle for Oakland puts Jose Suarez in an opener role against Framber Valdez, a pitcher Essler says grows sloppy against lesser competition and whose splits back it up, a 2.95 ERA in day games against a 5.06 mark at night, leading both hosts to the Athletics team total over and a first five innings over. From there the show shifts to Seattle's visit to Miami, where Bryce Miller's elite control this season, sixty two strikeouts against just five walks and a 0.676 WHIP, squares off with Janson Junk in his first start back from a shin injury, and Manji builds his headline best bet of the day around the Mariners first five innings run line, betting that Seattle gets to Junk early and rides Miller through the middle innings. The Brewers and Cardinals draw attention next, with Logan Henderson returning from a back issue to face Andre Pallante, a pitcher who has been unable to beat Milwaukee in four tries this season and owns a far worse home ERA than road mark, pushing both hosts toward Milwaukee and a first five innings under. The toughest call of the night comes in Arizona's trip to San Diego, where neither Merrill Kelly nor Griffin Canning inspires much confidence, both carrying ERAs north of five and seventy, and the two ultimately fade a market-favored over in favor of the under, with a lean toward the Diamondbacks given San Diego's inconsistent offense and Kelly's rough recent history against the division. Rounding out the card, the hosts touch on a Phillies team total over against a homer-prone Brady Singer, a first five innings lean on the Angels against Texas, and an under look at the Rockies and Giants. The back half of the show turns to football, continuing a running series of NFL win total previews with a detailed breakdown of the Jacksonville Jaguars, fresh off a thirteen and four season, an AFC South title, and an eight game winning streak to close the year under first year head coach Liam Coen. Essler and Manji dig into the departure of running back Travis Etienne to the New Orleans Saints, the uncertain readiness of Bhayshul Tuten to replace his receiving and blocking value, continued doubts about quarterback Trevor Lawrence turning a corner, the loss of linebacker Devin Lloyd on defense, and a schedule that includes just six true home games and a brutal late season road stretch. Essler reluctantly lands on the over given Jacksonville's raw talent, while Manji takes the under, point

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner opens episode 59 of What I Bet by looking back at two rough nights in Atlanta, where a blown ninth inning save on Sunday and a brutal extra inning loss on Monday turned safe unders into painful beats, leaving the show at 3 and 2 over its last five picks and 6 and 4 over its last ten heading into a Tuesday, July 7 card loaded with a World Cup window and sixteen Major League Baseball games. Warner turns first to the United States exit from the World Cup, describing goalkeeping mistakes on Monday night as some of the worst imaginable and pointing out that Portugal and Spain, both heavy favorites, needed stoppage time goals just to survive, a pattern that has produced ten stoppage time losses on his card this tournament even as he remains over five hundred overall. He breaks down an 11 a.m. Central kickoff between Argentina and Egypt, explaining a heavily juiced one and a half goal Argentina favorite against plus money on Egypt at a goal and a quarter, walking through how a one goal loss wins half the bet, a draw or win cashes it fully, and a two goal loss loses it all, while noting Lionel Messi alone can move plenty of money before the noon Eastern kickoff. He follows with a 3 p.m. Central match between Switzerland and Colombia, praising Swiss captain Granit Xhaka as one of the best midfield conductors in Europe and leaning toward Switzerland at any underdog price alongside the under at two and a quarter goals, while crediting Colombia's group win over Portugal as more a product of betting against Portugal than betting on Colombia itself. Warner then details how both World Cup moneylines have moved before shifting into a full baseball slate that opens with a Milwaukee and St. Louis doubleheader, where Jacob Misiorowski takes the mound fresh off a rough outing against Cincinnati. He works through Chicago and Baltimore, where an injury prone veteran finally looks like himself, Atlanta and Pittsburgh, where two bad bullpen nights make the matchup tough to trust, New York and Tampa Bay, Detroit and Oakland, Seattle and Miami, Houston and Washington, Philadelphia and Cincinnati, Kansas City and New York, a Boston and Chicago battle he calls tricky given his rule against road favorites, Cleveland and Minnesota, the doubleheader nightcap between Milwaukee and St. Louis, Los Angeles and Texas, Arizona and San Diego, Toronto and San Francisco, and a closing matchup between Colorado and Los Angeles that Warner calls far too cheap on the favorite. He closes the show with an update on an expired promo code, a promise to try to bring it back for Pregame.com, and his best bet of the night on the Miami Marlins and Max Meyer at home, calling it backing the hand that has fed the show all season and refusing to bite it before pointing listeners to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Straight Outta Vegas AM on social media.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open their Tuesday, July 7, 2026 show by revisiting Monday's card, where a first five innings call on Atlanta cashed even as the Braves bullpen later surrendered an eleven run ninth inning, while a three star Dodgers team total over covered a wild extra innings win over the Rockies. From there the two work through a full Tuesday baseball slate, starting with Milwaukee and St Louis opening a day night doubleheader behind Jacob Misiorowski, before turning to a headline matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles, where Matthew Boyd opposes Shane Baz. Both hosts lean toward Chicago after examining Boyd's strong run support and Baz's fly ball tendencies coming off a heavy pitch count start. The conversation moves to Sacramento's trip to Detroit, where J.T. Ginn faces Tarik Skubal, with the hosts split between concerns over Ginn's recent home run rate and Skubal's own workload questions after a 104 pitch outing. Atlanta's visit to Pittsburgh draws a long discussion of both bullpens, with Hurston Waldrep opposing Paul Skenes, and Munaf ultimately backing the Pirates on the money line despite a rough recent stretch for the Pittsburgh ace. Boston and the Chicago White Sox follow, with Payton Tolle against Noah Schultz, and both hosts landing on the home underdog White Sox given a hot recent stretch and command questions surrounding Tolle. A rapid tour of the rest of the card touches Arizona and San Diego, Cleveland and Minnesota, Seattle's trip to Miami, and a Houston and Washington matchup featuring Tatsuya Imai and Andrew Alvarez, along with starts from Zach Wheeler, Trevor McDonald and Michael Lorenzen. After a quick mention of a new Pregame.com discount code, the show pivots to football for the latest entry in its NFL win total series, a detailed breakdown of the Pittsburgh Steelers heading into 2026. The hosts walk through an offseason that brought a new head coach in Mike McCarthy, the return of Aaron Rodgers for a final season, and a retooled receiving corps built around DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr, Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth. Weighing an accomplished pass rush duo in TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith against an aging offensive line and a defense leaning on veterans, both hosts land on the over for Pittsburgh's eight and a half win total, pointing to a favorable schedule and a division full of first year coaching staffs. The episode closes with Tuesday's best bets, an over in the Arizona and San Diego game from Dave and a Marlins money line pick from Munaf built around a dominant home pitching performance, before the two tease Wednesday's show and its look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open a new week on Cash That Ticket with a jam packed Monday show covering a loaded MLB slate and the next big NFL win total heading into the season. Coming off a one and one showing on Friday's Best Bet feature, the guys look to get back on track with the All Star break just around the corner, and Dave checks in from Florida after a weekend where both of his biggest bets cashed. The two dive straight into the Monday card, breaking down a huge AL East clash between the Yankees and Rays, weighing Cam Schlittler's uneven recent form against Griffin Jax's ability to limit hard contact, with both hosts ultimately siding with Tampa Bay. From there they turn to the Astros and Nationals, working through shaky recent outings from both starters before landing on Washington's offense as the more trustworthy side, all while flagging an interesting reverse line movement in the marketplace. The Mets and Braves closing out their series in Atlanta gets a full breakdown too, with a first five inning angle drawing plenty of attention alongside Atlanta's strong history bouncing back after a loss. Milwaukee and St Louis bring a classic market versus gut debate, and the Diamondbacks and Padres matchup closes the featured card with a deep look at Walker Buehler's dominant career history against Arizona. The guys also squeeze in quick hits on the late West Coast slate involving the Giants, Blue Jays, Rockies, and Dodgers before shifting gears entirely into football. The next NFL win total on the board belongs to the Minnesota Vikings, sitting at eight and a half games, and the hosts spend real time on the team's rotating quarterback situation from a season ago, the arrival of Kyler Murray, and what a retooled defense means for the ceiling of this roster heading into the year. Dave offers an unusually honest look at his own skepticism toward Murray before landing on the over, and Munaf builds the case further with a breakdown of the schedule and the coaching staff's track record of getting the most out of its quarterbacks. Before wrapping up, the guys remind listeners about the FIREWORKS12 promo code still active on pregame.com for picks packages through the end of the night, covering weekend, thirty day all access, and early bird NFL options as the calendar turns toward August. The show closes out with best bets from both hosts, one built around a National League East divisional matchup in the first five innings and another anchored by a proven veteran arm on the mound in San Diego, before the two preview tomorrow's show, which will dig into the Pittsburgh Steelers win total along with another full day of baseball. Whether you are looking for sharp MLB matchup analysis, an early read on next season's NFL win totals, or just want to hear two seasoned handicappers work through their thinking in real time, this episode delivers a complete and detailed breakdown of everything moving the b

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the holiday weekend with a loaded Friday edition of Cash That Ticket, breaking down four featured MLB matchups before diving into the New York Giants NFL win total and closing with their best bets for the night. The show starts with a recap of Thursday's action, including a walk off win for Dave's best bet with the Cleveland Guardians and a narrow miss on his personal Seattle Mariners play behind a dominant Bryce Miller outing. From there the hosts break down Pittsburgh at Washington, where Foster Griffin's excellent form and edge against left handed hitters make the Nationals a clear first five innings lean, followed by Baltimore at Cincinnati, where hot weather and a rested Orioles club point toward a team total over. The Mets and Braves matchup becomes a bullpen driven under conversation given Christian Scott's inability to work deep into games, while Grant Holmes tries to navigate a Mets lineup he has rarely faced, all while Atlanta continues to play without Ronald Acuña Jr. The fourth featured game brings Michael King back to the mound against Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers one night after a wild slugfest, with both hosts targeting the first five innings under behind King's strong season long trend against Los Angeles hitters not named Freddie Freeman and Kyle Tucker. Beyond the headline games, Munaf flags value on the Rays against a struggling Spencer Arrighetti, while Dave breaks down a market driven angle on Arizona getting extra runs against Kyle Harrison and the Brewers. The back half of the show shifts to football as the pair continue their win total series with the New York Giants, weighing new head coach John Harbaugh's track record of fast turnarounds against the loss of Wan'Dale Robinson to the Titans and the trade of Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals, while balancing those changes against a healthy Malik Nabers, the additions of Odell Beckham Jr. and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and a promising young defensive front led by Abdul Carter and Brian Burns under new coordinator Dennard Wilson. Dave takes the over while Munaf sides with the under, setting up a friendly wager between the two co-hosts heading into the season. The show wraps with best bets for Friday, as Dave splits his play on the Astros and Munaf backs the Nationals on the moneyline, plus a quick look at a WNBA angle favoring the Chicago Sky against A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces. Throughout the episode, listeners are reminded to visit pregame.com and use promo code FIREWORKS12 for the holiday weekend all access package, discounted from eighty nine dollars to seventy seven dollars through Monday night, unlocking every best bet from the full team of Pregame pros. Cash That Ticket returns Monday with the next installment of the NFL win total series covering the Minnesota Vikings, alongside continued daily coverage of the MLB season, the World Cup knockout stage, and the broader sports calenda

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Real_G Warner closes out the World Cup Round of 32 with a full betting breakdown before diving into a stacked Major League Baseball card ahead of the July 4th holiday weekend. The episode opens on the soccer pitch with Australia and Egypt in Dallas, where Real_G leans toward a low scoring affair and a cleanly priced Egypt moneyline, before shifting to Cape Verde and Argentina, a matchup he expects to stay under the total even as Cape Verde's improbable tournament run continues. The soccer preview wraps with Ghana and Colombia, where Real_G questions whether Colombia's attack can find its rhythm against a Ghana defense that already shut down England, while flagging rising moneyline value on a potential Ghana advance. From there the show moves into baseball, working through the entire MLB slate one matchup at a time, including St. Louis and Andre Pallante visiting the Cubs and David Peterson, Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller against Washington's Foster Griffin, Minnesota's Mike Paredes facing Gerrit Cole and the Yankees, Chicago's Anthony Kay against Cleveland's Gavin Williams, Baltimore's Trevor Rogers on the road against a struggling Reds club, the Mets and Christian Scott visiting Atlanta, San Francisco's Logan Webb against Colorado's Ryan Feltner, Tampa Bay's Nick Martinez against Houston's Spencer Arrighetti, Boston's Jake Bennett against the Angels and Reid Detmers, Miami's Tyler Phillips against Jack Perkins and the Athletics, Milwaukee's Kyle Harrison against Arizona's Jose Cabrera, and Toronto's Dylan Cease on the road against Seattle's Luis Castillo. The centerpiece of the baseball portion is San Diego and Michael King on the road against Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers, where Real_G explains why the run line offers far better value than an inflated moneyline number on King. The episode closes with the official What I Bet best bet, sending listeners into the holiday weekend with the Padres and Michael King on the run line at plus one and a half, along with a look back at recent results that has the show sitting at five wins and three losses over its last eight picks. Before the pick is revealed, Real_G shares a July 4th promo code for Pregame.com, offering holiday weekend access from Wednesday through Monday across every pick in every sport for seventy seven dollars using code HOTDOG12, giving listeners full coverage heading into one of the busiest sports weekends of the summer.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the month of July on Cash That Ticket with a full breakdown of the Wednesday MLB slate and the next chapter of their NFL win total preview series, all while looking to shake off a rare losing June that saw the show finish 10-13-1 and drop 5.6 units, leaving the all-time record at 106-79-3 for 57.3 percent and plus 14.17 units. The headline matchup of the night sends Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates into Philadelphia to face a red-hot Phillies club and a dominant Zack Wheeler, with both hosts weighing whether Skenes finally snaps an eight-start winless streak or whether Wheeler's outstanding home splits and recent history against Pittsburgh push them toward backing Philadelphia and a low-scoring first five innings. From there the guys turn to St. Louis traveling to Atlanta, where a Braves club still missing a fully ramped Ronald Acuña Jr. gets a close look against Michael McGreevy and a workload-limited Reynaldo López, leading both hosts toward value on the Cardinals as a live underdog. The Minnesota Twins and Houston Astros present the toughest puzzle of the night, with Taj Bradley and Tatsuya Imai both carrying uneven recent form, pushing the conversation toward team totals and first-five-innings alternatives rather than a straightforward side. San Francisco and Arizona close out the marquee action, with a struggling Zac Gallen drawing serious skepticism from both hosts given his home run rate and rough night game splits this season, setting up a Giants team total over as one of the night's featured plays. Beyond the marquee matchups, the guys touch on a Rockies-Marlins total and issue a caution about a heavily bet Royals-Rays game involving Shane McClanahan before shifting gears entirely into football. The NFL win total series continues with the Carolina Panthers set at seven and a half wins, and both hosts walk through last year's surprising NFC South title, the offseason departure of running back Rico Dowdle to Pittsburgh, a breakout rookie season from Tetairoa McMillan, and a retooled roster that now includes Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd on defense and Chuba Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks, and Trevor Etienne in the backfield, along with a quarterback room behind Bryce Young featuring Kenny Pickett, Will Grier, and Haynes King. Concerns about the offensive line, a still-developing defense, and a brutal opening stretch of the schedule push both hosts toward the under. Before wrapping, the guys remind listeners about pregame.com's 12th annual All American Celebration promotion, use code FIREWORKS12 for access to every pick from every pregame pro from Wednesday through Monday for just 77 dollars. The episode closes with best bets for the night, a Giants team total over from Dave Essler and a Pirates-Phillies first five innings under from Munaf Manji, plus a preview of tomorrow's show, which continues the win total series with the New Orleans Saints.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner returns to the What I Bet show on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a stacked Friday, June 26, 2026, pairing a decisive World Cup group stage with a complete Major League Baseball board. With two matches per group kicking off at the same time until the round of 32 arrives, Griffin moves group by group through every total, line move, and side worth a look, starting with a chaotic backdrop, the United States exit after two wins and a clinched group, and Turkey finally scoring a goal at the death after two blank matches. He breaks down Norway against France, both through on six points and chasing the group win, leaning to Norway plus one behind Erling Haaland out of Manchester City while noting Kylian Mbappé under scrutiny at Real Madrid for his defensive work, a wrinkle that pushes Griffin toward the under. He covers Iraq and Senegal, both reeling on zero points, with Senegal a major disappointment behind an aging backline despite strong goalkeeping from Mendy, and he criticizes the structure that advances eight third place teams as a quick shot at FIFA. He digs into Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde, praising the Cape Verde side as tournament darlings after draws with Uruguay and a goalless result against Spain, and lays out the under two and a quarter to two and a half range. He frames Uruguay against Spain as the marquee pairing, liking Uruguay plus one and the under while watching Darwin Núñez search for form under aggressive manager Marcelo Bielsa, with a caveat that Spain can crack the game open. He leans firmly under in the Iran and Egypt pride match in Seattle, and closes the soccer card by fading a flat Belgium golden generation while liking New Zealand and the under. Then the baseball begins. Griffin walks through Andrew Abbott against Paul Skenes in Pittsburgh, Spencer Arrighetti at Keider Montero in Detroit, Andrew Alvarez against Trevor Rogers in a Nationals and Orioles tilt, Nathan Eovaldi opposite former Ranger Patrick Corbin in Toronto, Will Warren versus rookie Payton Tolle at Fenway where his strongest lean is under eight and a half, Luis Castillo against Joey Cantillo in Cleveland with the Guardians at minus 108, Zac Gallen drawing Nick Martinez, Colin Rea against the electric Jacob Misiorowski in Milwaukee, Tomoyuki Sugano in a high total at Minnesota, Max Meyer opposite Michael McGreevy in St. Louis where he trusts the pitching toward under eight, JT Ginn against Walbert Ureña in Anaheim where he likes the plus 112 home underdog, and Roki Sasaki facing Walker Buehler in a tiny San Diego number he leans over. Bryce Miller, George Kirby, Bryan Woo, and José Ramírez all enter the rotation conversation along the way. Save money at pregame.com with promo code HIT15, that is Hotel India Tango 15, for 15 percent off anything on the website, good through July 6th, plenty of time to grab the World Cup and baseball packages.

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 extre

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 Mich

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).

Munaf Manji talks betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji hosts a solo edition of Cash That Ticket on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, working through a loaded sports night that includes Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals and a six-game MLB Wednesday slate packed with elite starting pitching matchups. Co-host Dave Essler sent in detailed pregame notes that Munaf reads and builds upon throughout the episode, producing a collaborative breakdown even without Dave in the booth. The show opens with a recap of Tuesday, where the under in the first five innings of the Brewers and Giants game cashed behind Kyle Harrison's career-high 12-strikeout performance for Milwaukee, though the Cubs team total over did not survive Chicago's one-run first inning and subsequent silence. The show stands three and one on best bets for the month of June. On the NBA Finals, Munaf discusses tonight's Game 1 in San Antonio with the Spurs as four-and-a-half point home favorites over the Knicks at a total of 218.5. Rather than chasing the historical Game 1 under trend, he prefers the second half over around 105.5, reasoning that first-game rust and jitters will suppress scoring early before both teams open up. The Knicks arrive with eight days of rest following their sweep of Cleveland while the Spurs are three days removed from a Game 7 win over Oklahoma City that was aided by the injury absences of Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell. Munaf singles out OG Anunoby as his Game 1 player prop, taking him over 15.5 points at minus 115 on DraftKings, and identifies Dylan Harper as the Spurs' most critical secondary contributor beyond Victor Wembanyama. Stephon Castle's ability to contain Jalen Brunson and Landry Shamet's timely three-point shooting off the Knicks bench are highlighted as key series variables to watch. On the MLB side, the episode covers six matchups in detail. In Philadelphia, Christopher Sanchez continues his Cy Young-caliber run against Walker Buehler and the Padres, with both Munaf and Dave aligning on the first five innings under and the Phillies run line. At Fenway, Chris Bassett's brutal road splits, including an 8.02 ERA in five away starts, make the Red Sox team total over in the first five innings an attractive play at minus 110 on DraftKings. In New York, Gerrit Cole's third start back from Tommy John surgery against Gavin Williams and the Guardians produces Munaf's official best bet of the night, the Yankees first five innings run line at minus half a run, plus 115 on Bet Online, backed by Cole's 13-3 career record against Cleveland and his flawless return. In Cincinnati, Chase Burns at 7-1 with a 1.96 ERA takes on Stephen Kolek and the Royals, with Munaf structuring a synthetic minus-one play by splitting units across the moneyline and run line. In Atlanta, the Braves run line against Patrick Corbin and the Blue Jays is the clear lean given Atlanta's consistent dominance against left-handed pitching and their habit of winning at home by multiple runs. The episode cl

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a stacked Tuesday edition of Cash That Ticket, opening the show with a clean Monday sweep before diving into what may have been the single most active day in NFL offseason history. The guys run the numbers first: May closed at 17-16-2 and down 1.77 units, a modest dip by the pod's own high standards, but the cumulative record now sits at 96-68-2 and plus 21.77 units since launch, with three-star plays running at an 8-2 clip, and Monday's sweep only added to the momentum heading into June. From there, the conversation shifts to the Myles Garrett trade, with Cleveland sending the two-time Defensive Player of the Year and all-time single-season sack record holder to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick. Munaf walks through a full market breakdown, noting the Rams moved to 6-to-1 favorites at DraftKings, with their NFC odds shifting from plus-390 to plus-310 and their NFC West line dropping from plus-140 to plus-105. Dave offers the more measured take, calling it a fair deal for both franchises while pointing to the AFC North adjustment as the more actionable angle for bettors, since the Rams were already favorites and the division rivals who no longer face Garrett every year are the ones who quietly got better. The second trade brings AJ Brown from Philadelphia to New England in exchange for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, reuniting Brown with head coach Mike Vrabel after a well-documented split from the Eagles, and giving Drake Maye a legitimate downfield threat in New England. Dave, a Patriots fan, acknowledges the upgrade while tempering Super Bowl expectations given a difficult 2026 schedule. The main event of the episode is the full NBA Finals series preview ahead of Wednesday's Game 1 tip in San Antonio, where the Spurs enter as minus-205 favorites but the Knicks arrive on an 11-game winning streak with eight days of rest and a road record in the playoffs that no team has matched, six wins all by double digits. Dave goes Knicks in Game 1 at plus four and a half, highlighting the rest edge and wondering aloud whether the Spurs left their best collective effort in the OKC series, while also crediting the Towns-Wembanyama matchup as a more complicated problem for San Antonio than the Holmgren dynamic in the conference finals. Munaf takes the Knicks to win the series outright at plus-170, citing the collective offense, the defensive versatility of players like Anunoby, Bridges, and Hart, and a road dominance that has been consistent and convincing. Both hosts flag OG Anunoby at 40-to-1 and Towns at 20-to-1 for Finals MVP as market signals that the Knicks are being underpriced. The back half of the show covers the full Tuesday MLB card, with looks at Tigers-Rays, Padres-Phillies, Orioles-Red
