Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB betting for Friday. 🎯 Conclusion (Spoiler-Rich)

The hosts provide thorough betting angles for the full Friday card. The best bets are:

Cubs -126 (Griffin): Based on Matthew Boyd’s perfect 6-0 home record at Wrigley and Seattle’s strikeout-prone lineup.
Over 8.5 Tigers-Rays (Munaf): Due to Jack Flaherty’s control issues and both offenses heating up.

They announce an extra Saturday episode due to strong listener support, aiming for a perfect betting week. Munaf and Griffin also engage in detailed tangents, including stats for the White Sox on different days of the week and a humorous breakdown of the A’s new Sacramento identity.

⚾ Pitching Dominance: Matthew Boyd is 6–0 at Wrigley with a 2.25 ERA. Jacob DeGrom has a 2.19 ERA over his last five starts.

📉 Underperforming Teams: Rangers and Yankees both struggle offensively, impacting totals and run line bets.

📈 Weather & Wind at Wrigley: Betting angles like first-five innings under depend on wind direction at Wrigley Field.

🧨 Baltimore vs. Yankees Trend: Max Fried’s 7-0 record at Yankee Stadium drives confidence in Yankees -1.5 bets.

💣 Tigers Game Total Trends: Detroit is 11-1 to the over in road series openers, backing the Rays over 8.5 pick.

📊 White Sox Weekend Stats: 1-11 combined on Fridays and Saturdays on the road—fade alert!.

🛑 Marlins vs. Braves Trap Spot: Braves coming off a tough Mets series, travel to Miami, possible letdown spot.

🧠 Twins vs. Brewers: Joe Ryan unders are 9-2-2 this season. First-five under suggested due to bullpen concerns.

🔥 Coors Field Totals: Gallon has a good Coors record, but over 12 still favored due to Arizona’s bullpen collapse.

💡 Dodgers Bullpen Watch: First-five under with Gore vs. Kershaw; avoid full-game unders due to bullpen issues.

Opening Banter [0:09-1:25]: Munaf and Griffin joke about soccer and tease a surprise for loyal listeners, setting an upbeat tone.
Mariners @ Cubs [1:25–6:06]: Boyd is 6–0 at Wrigley; George Kirby struggles returning from IL. Cubs -126 and first-five under depending on wind suggested.
Rangers @ Pirates [6:06–9:17]: Jacob DeGrom has allowed ≤2 ER in last 5 starts. Lean under 8; Pirates are a live dog due to Rangers' hitting woes.
Orioles @ Yankees [9:17–13:07]: Max Fried's Yankee Stadium dominance continues; Yankees -1.5 advised.
Tigers @ Rays [13:07–16:30]: Tigers 11–1 to over in road series openers; Rays scoring resurgence favors over 8.5.
White Sox @ Blue Jays [16:30–21:35]: White Sox are 1–11 on road weekends; Jays run line and team total bets advised.
Braves @ Marlins [21:35–24:31]: Braves could be flat after Mets series. Consider Marlins or Braves team total over due to offense rebounding.
Reds @ Cardinals [24:31–29:37]: Singer vs. Palante; Singer handled STL well earlier. Reds +118 lean.
Brewers @ Twins [29:37–34:26]: Ryan starts drive unders (9-2-2 trend); first-five under 4 preferred due to bullpen concerns.
D’backs @ Rockies [34:26–38:10]: Despite Gallen’s decent Coors history, Rockies hitting and AZ bullpen fade push to over 12.
Nationals @ Dodgers [38:10–42:04]: McKenzie Gore underrated; Kershaw heating up. Consider first-five under 4.5.
Red Sox @ Giants [42:04–45:24]: Lean SF due to Red Sox travel fatigue and Birdsongs’s solid home numbers.
Guardians @ A’s [45:24–48:52]: A’s overs are 24–14 at home. Guardians struggle vs. lefties (6–13), still favored. Slight edge to CLE.
