Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB betting for Tuesday. Best bets as always.

⚾ Logan Webb vs. Mike Burrows: Both pitchers are in solid form; first five under is a strong play.

🔥 Twins vs. Tigers: Griffin calls the Twins a “scorched-earth” team post-deadline; Munaf trusts Chris Paddack to stay sharp.

📉 Nationals offense collapse: Mackenzie Gore struggling, while Luis Severino thrives on the road (3.03 ERA away).

😬 Phillies vs. Orioles: Dean Kramer steady, but Phillies' Taijuan Walker a fade candidate; total over gets consideration.

💪 Garrett Crochet dominance: Red Sox ace holding a 2.23 ERA; Boston 6–0 in his last six starts.

📊 Brewers vs. Braves: Freddy Peralta strong at home (2.13 ERA), but struggles on road; Braves undervalued as dogs.

🛑 Yankees defensive woes: Despite Judge’s return, the fielding issues persist; Rangers bullpen remains elite under Bruce Bochy.

📉 Padres vs. Diamondbacks: Yu Darvish showing flashes of old form (7 IP shutout vs. Mets); Ryan Nelson excellent at home (2.09 ERA).

🚀 Dodgers offense vs. Michaelis: Cards’ weak bullpen and bad defense likely fuel LA’s big bats; Dodgers team total over recommended.

💵 Best Bets:

Munaf & Griffin open (0:09–2:30): Discuss the August slate and frustrations with Wilson Contreras’ defense hurting bets.
Giants vs. Pirates (2:31–6:25): Analyze Logan Webb and Mike Burrows; prefer first-five under and lean Pirates ML.
Twins vs. Tigers (6:26–9:27): Post-deadline Twins gutted; Chris Paddack trending upward.
A’s vs. Nationals (9:28–12:13): Severino thriving on the road; fading Mackenzie Gore; value on A’s ML.
Orioles vs. Phillies (12:14–15:15): Lean Orioles as dogs; consider total over due to Phillies’ shaky Walker.
Royals vs. Red Sox (15:15–17:35): Red Sox surging; Garrett Crochet a Cy Young contender; Munaf likes run line.
Guardians vs. Mets (17:35–21:08): Mets inconsistent; Guardians bullpen a concern; lean Mets.
Brewers vs. Braves (21:08–25:22): Braves value as home dogs with Joey Wentz vs. road-weary Peralta.
Yankees vs. Rangers (25:22–29:29): Judge returns; big under trend at Globe Life; Griffin recommends under.
Padres vs. Diamondbacks & Dodgers vs. Cardinals (48:03–54:15): Favor offense in Arizona game (over 9); Dodgers likely dominate Michaelis; back LA team total & run line.
