Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. Munaf Manji opens by previewing the weekend MLB slate, noting tightening division races and their current 6-0 best bet streak, aiming to match last year’s 10-0 run. Griffin Warner jokes about his long commute before they dive into Friday’s matchups. They start with the Cubs hosting the Pirates, Braxton Ashcraft versus Colin Rea, Cubs -196, total 9. Griffin cites Pittsburgh’s weak road offense and bullpen reliance, favoring Chicago, possibly the under if the wind is in. Munaf highlights Chicago’s strong record after losses, with Rea solid at home, backing Cubs -1.5 at -105. For Phillies at Nationals, Zach Wheeler faces MacKenzie Gore, PHI -175, total 8. Griffin notes Wheeler’s home run troubles but likes the over; Munaf recalls Gore’s two earlier meetings with Philadelphia and prefers PHI -1.5. In Texas at Toronto, Jacob deGrom meets Chris Bassitt, TOR +101, total 7.5. Griffin declares the Rangers’ season “cooked” and picks Toronto, telling an “inside the pork” joke. Munaf cites Bassitt’s dominant home record and leans Blue Jays and under. Miami at Boston sees Sandy Alcantara against Lucas Giolito, BOS -163, total 9. Griffin doubts Alcantara’s form and leans over; Munaf notes his road over trend and favors BOS team total and full game over. Atlanta at Cleveland has Hurston Waldrep against Joey Cantillo, CLE -120, total 9. Griffin cites ATL injuries and poor road form, liking Cleveland; Munaf notes Atlanta’s 23-38 road record and backs CLE. Seattle at New York Mets features Luis Castillo versus Sean Manaea, NYM -111, total 8.5. Griffin distrusts the Mets’ bullpen, leaning Seattle; Munaf notes Mariners’ road success in Castillo starts but with some caution. Baltimore at Houston matches Brandon Young against Framber Valdez, HOU -243, total 8. Griffin doubts Young’s MLB quality; Munaf cites HOU’s 8-3 home record with Valdez, backing -1.5. Chicago White Sox at Kansas City pits Aaron Civale against Noah Cameron, KC -180, total 9. Griffin dislikes KC as a home favorite but doubts CWS; Munaf sees value on CWS. Yankees at Cardinals has Luis Gil versus Andre Pallante, NYY -126, total 9. Griffin says STL sold key pieces; Munaf sees Gil in form and likes NYY. Arizona at Colorado, Brandon Pfaadt against Tanner Gordon, ARI -180, total 12. Griffin calls Pfaadt unpredictable, leaning over; Munaf notes Coors Field overs profitable, siding with over and slight COL lean. Angels at A’s has Yusei Kikuchi versus Jack Perkins, near-even odds, total 10. Griffin favors whichever is underdog; Munaf leans under due to Kikuchi’s poor road record. Tampa Bay at San Francisco pits Joel Boyle against Landen Roupp, SF -122, total 8. Griffin notes SF’s poor offense and Boyle’s HR issues, liking TB plus money; Munaf favors SF for Roupp’s form. For best bets, Griffin takes Guardians -120 over Braves, citing motivation disparity, while Munaf picks Cubs -1.5 against Pirates based on their strong post-loss performance and Rea’s reliability.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the BMW Championship and best outright ticket for the Danish Golf Championship -Reviewing Memphis featuring sound from Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler -Rickie Fowler sig. event points situation, hearing from Fowler on performance in Memphis -Ryder Cup scenarios featuring sound of Cantlay discussing Ryder Cup hopes and Keegan's dilemma -Discussing top 7 on odds board at Caves -1 matchup, 1 t10 -1 BMW outright (40/1) -Sleeper, 2 FRL, 2 lineups, scoring -Best Bet -Danish Golf Championship outright (35/1) Will Doctor opens with energy, introducing the BMW Championship at Caves Valley as week two of the FedExCup Playoffs and recapping a dramatic Memphis finish where Justin Rose, at 175–1 odds, claimed his 12th PGA Tour title by birdieing four of his last five holes to beat J.J. Spaun. Rose described his win as stoic, marked by determination and calmness, admitting that focus on execution muted his joy in the moment. Tommy Fleetwood, seeking his first PGA Tour win, led after 54 holes but faltered, finishing second; he emphasized gratitude for fan support and the importance of learning from close calls. Scottie Scheffler briefly shared the final-round lead but lost nearly 1.5 strokes putting on Sunday, missing the playoff by one. Key FedExCup changes saw Kitayama, Cauley, Fowler, Vegas, and Poston move into the top 50 while Potgieter, Spieth, Knapp, Clark, and Martin dropped out. Fowler, who finished T6, knew roughly a top 10 was needed and edged Chris Kirk by one shot to advance. Doctor defended Fowler against criticism over sponsor exemptions, blaming reduced field sizes for controversy, and highlighted that Memphis drew 3.6 million viewers, the best since 2018. Doctor’s betting card suffered as Scheffler’s Sunday putting cost multiple wagers. Brad Payne, caddying for Scheffler, noted good putts simply didn’t fall, while Scheffler praised Spaun’s grit. A win came via Jacob Bridgman over Potgieter, but Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Harris English underperformed. On the European Tour, a bet on Christopher Broberg failed as Grant Forrest prevailed. Ryder Cup standings for Team USA show locks in Scheffler, Spaun, Schauffele, Henley, DeChambeau, English, and Thomas, with Morikawa, Bradley, McNeely, and Novak on the bubble. Contenders like Young, Cantlay, and Goderup remain in play. Cantlay endorsed Bradley’s inclusion if he were captain. Team Europe’s locks include McIlroy, Rose, Fleetwood, McIntyre, Hatton, Straka, Lowry, Oberg, Hovland, and Fitzpatrick, with Højgaard and Wallace vulnerable; Jon Rahm will take a spot, and others could qualify with strong finishes. Caves Valley’s redesign features rebuilt greens, narrowed fairways, and lengthened holes, now a par 70 over 7,600 yards. Doctor reviewed top contenders: Scheffler’s form remains strong despite a caddie change, McIlroy’s driving accuracy is a concern, Schauffele and Thomas struggle with consistency, Fleetwood and Oberg offer solid form but questionable value, and Cantlay’s price is too short given recent results. This week’s picks include Fowler over Lowry, Sam Burns for a top 10, Matthew Fitzpatrick outright at 40–1, and Denny McCarthy as sleeper top 10. First round leaders are Scheffler and Burns. The DraftKings lineup features Young, Burns, Fitzpatrick, Fowler, McCarthy, and Novak, with Scheffler as best bet for top American. Doctor also tips Sami Välimäki to win the Danish Golf Championship at 35–1, citing improved iron play and consistent driving and putting.

Losses: Daly to graduation, Udo to Arizona State, two Joe Moore Award-winning offensive tackles, best defensive player to Georgia. Returning Talent: Six of top ten tacklers; LB corps Miller & Thomas praised. Concerns: Offensive drop-off, new OL coach, challenging schedule (Tulane, UTSA, Navy, Air Force).

Lonte favors Navy among service academies, citing better returning production and depth. 7:16 – 14:52 Western Kentucky (C-USA) Odds: Over 7.5 (-125), Under 7.5 (-105). 2023: 8–6 record. Roster: Only 3 starters return (1 offense, 2 defense). Poor 2023 rush defense (224 YPG). Key Additions: QB Maverick McIver (Abilene Christian, 3,500+ yds, 37 TDs), OC Rick Bowie (former Abilene OC).

Roster: 10 starters return (5 offense, 5 defense). QB J.C. French (2,500+ yds, 17 TDs, 11 INTs, 66% comp). Deep WR corps; strong OL with most combined starts in Sun Belt. Defense: Needs rush D improvement; strong secondary led by Chance Gamble. Schedule: Fresno, USC, Jacksonville State, JMU, Coastal, ODU, Marshall. Projection: Favors in most conference games except JMU → Over 7.5 (floor 8 wins). 31:07 – 38:35 Playoff/Long-shot Discussion No strong playoff contenders from teams covered; JMU strong but blocked by JMU matchup for Georgia Southern. Boise State (2–1 to make playoffs) downgraded without RB Ashton Jeanty. Long-shot pick: South Florida (33–1) if QB Byron Brown stays healthy; avoid betting until after tough Miami/Florida stretch. 38:36 – End Best Bet: Army Under 7.5 wins. Rationale: Loss of QB, RB, two elite tackles, new OL coach, tough schedule, regression from 12–2 2023 season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Rod Villagomez talk NFL fantasy AFC South position battles. [Munaf Manji | 0:06–0:40] Introduces focus on AFC South, calling it a tough fantasy division but one he knows well as a Texans fan. [Rod Villagomez | 0:40–1:40] Sees the division as building for the future; C.J. Stroud is the main fantasy draw. Mentions hidden Jacksonville talent and early Colts injury concerns. [Munaf Manji | 1:41–2:28] Podcast aims to find deep fantasy values. Notes Anthony Richardson’s alarming finger injury. [Rod Villagomez | 2:29–4:06] Injury is dislocated pinky; day-to-day. Reviews limited playing history—4 games rookie year, 11 last year—warning about development setbacks. [Munaf Manji | 4:07–5:41] Colts hoped to compete; Daniel Jones played vs. Ravens (10/21, 144 yds, 0 TDs) in 24–16 preseason loss. [Rod Villagomez | 5:42–7:47] Texans RB depth impacted by Joe Mixon foot injury; Nick Chubb signed. Competition: Chubb, Damian Pierce, Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale. [Munaf Manji | 7:48–9:09] Chubb was preseason sleeper; Pierce’s workload uncertain. [Rod Villagomez | 9:23–11:16] Pierce’s 2023: 40 carries, 293 yds (7.39 YPC); career mostly ~3–4 YPC. Preseason will decide RB2. [Munaf Manji | 11:17–12:23] ADP: Chubb RB47 (~146 overall); Pierce undrafted. Texans open vs. Vikings. [Rod Villagomez | 12:24–15:22] WR2 battle with Tank Dell likely out all season (knee). Christian Kirk, rookies Jaden Higgins & Jalen Noel in mix. Dalton Schultz could finish top-4 TE. [Munaf Manji | 15:23–16:31] WR2 winner offers late-round fantasy value. [Rod Villagomez | 16:32–18:41] Colts QB battle: Richardson vs. Jones. Says it’s “now or never” for Jones; Richardson’s 2023 was 8 TDs, 12 INTs. [Munaf Manji | 18:42–19:59] Richardson likely starts but Jones worth monitoring on waivers. [Rod Villagomez | 20:00–22:28] Colts WR stats: Pittman (111 targets, 808 yds, 3 TDs), Downs (107 targets, 803 yds, 5 TDs), Pierce (69 targets, 824 yds, 7 TDs, 22.3 YPC). [Munaf Manji | 23:59–25:27] Preseason injuries: Pittman (groin), Pierce (foot blister). Pittman ADP ~116; Downs similar; Pierce mostly undrafted. [Rod Villagomez | 25:28–25:46] Pierce and Downs both viable late picks. [Munaf Manji | 25:47–26:23] Jaguars segment opens with Travis Hunter’s two-way potential. [Rod Villagomez | 26:24–28:14] Hunter could be more impactful on offense with Brian Thomas Jr., Deami Brown, Parker Washington. [Munaf Manji | 28:15–29:33] Jaguars lack true WR1; Hunter could fill that role. [Rod Villagomez | 29:34–31:13] RB stats: Etienne (558 yds, 3.7 YPC, 2 TDs) vs. Bixby (766 yds, 4.6 YPC, 7 TDs). [Munaf Manji | 31:13–32:08] Bixby’s low ADP makes him strong value. [Rod Villagomez | 32:09–32:46] Bixby could overtake Etienne. [Munaf Manji | 32:47–33:54] TE battle: 7 contenders; Brenton Strange (411 yds, 2 TDs) is TE1. [Rod Villagomez | 35:20–37:52] 153 vacated targets could elevate Strange. Cohen’s offense favors TE usage. [Munaf Manji | 37:53–40:00] Strange could finish TE9–TE12; late-round flex candidate. [Rod Villagomez & Munaf Manji | 40:01–45:54] Titans have no major battles. QB Cam Ward locked in; Pollard RB1 (1,000 yds, 4.2 YPC, 57 targets, 238 rec yds). WRs Ridley, Lockett, Jefferson set; TE Chig Okonkwo has upside. [Rod Villagomez | 45:55–end] Closes with preseason game list and fantasy prep reminder. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB betting for Friday. 📉 Fading Mitch Keller: Keller has a 5.75 ERA against Cincinnati in his career and has allowed 3 ER in each start post-All-Star break. 🎯 Brewers as Best Bet: Brandon Woodruff has 37 K and 4 BB in 28.1 IP with a 0.64 WHIP, and the Brewers are undefeated in his 6 starts this season. 🔼 Astros Momentum: Hunter Brown is back in form with 12 IP, 2 ER in last two outings. Yankees' reliance on home runs a liability. 🚀 Mariners Undervalued: Seattle at home with Luis Castillo is priced cheaply against a travel-weary Rays team, with Drew Rasmussen likely limited. 🔥 Guardians Surging: Cleveland swept the Mets and is climbing in the AL Central. Tanner Bibee is a concern, but Aaron Civale is in great form. 🧨 Rangers Underdog Value: Merrill Kelly is a strong underdog play vs. Phillies; Texas is 10-2 at home since the All-Star break. 🔒 Twins Depend on Joe Ryan: Joe Ryan is 7-0, 1.30 ERA in 9 starts vs. KC. Royals pitcher Seth Lugo has 8 BB in last 2 starts. 🧮 Over in Arizona: Rockies’ Gomber and Diamondbacks’ Gallen create a perfect storm for hitting; game total over 9 is attractive. 💰 Fade the Dodgers: Dodgers always overpriced; Jays’ offense is rolling, and Scherzer's recent form is solid. 💥 Nick Pivetta Dominance: At home, Pivetta is 7-0 with a 1.99 ERA in 12 starts, making the Padres a strong play. Cincinnati vs Pittsburgh [2:45–6:23] Griffin leans Reds at -103, citing Chase Burns’ high ceiling and Keller’s 5.75 ERA vs. CIN. Munaf notes the Pirates’ offense is inconsistent and backs the Reds ML. Astros vs Yankees [6:24–10:11] Both skeptical of Cam Schlittler’s polish. Hunter Brown’s rebound form (12 IP, 2 ER) is encouraging. Yankees’ offense is reliant on HRs. Both favor Astros ML. A’s vs Orioles [10:12–14:09] Both skeptical of JT Ginn’s consistency. Orioles’ young core still dangerous. Orioles’ home performance (5–2 post-ASB) leans Munaf to take the home team. Angels vs Tigers [14:10–17:03] Griffin calls -312 for DET “ridiculous.” Skubal’s Cy Young season isn't duplicating; Hendricks has quietly been solid. Both like the under (7.5 or F5 under 4). Marlins vs Braves [17:04–21:23] Cabrera’s 1 ER in each of last 3 starts vs Elder’s 6.54 ERA at home makes MIA appealing. Both back the Marlins ML and expect runs. Guardians vs White Sox [21:24–24:46] Guardians are hot, but Aaron Civale has 3 straight shutouts. Munaf notes CHW are 7–2 SU at home on Fridays. Recommends White Sox 1H ML. Phillies vs Rangers [24:47–28:10] Munaf emphasizes Rangers’ 10–2 home record post-ASB. Kelly a great dog. Both favor under 7.5 and like TEX ML at +116. Mets vs Brewers [28:11–31:15] Woodruff has a 0.64 WHIP and Brewers are 6–0 in his starts. Senga giving up 4 ER in 2 of last 3. Both hammer Brewers ML (Munaf’s Best Bet). Royals vs Twins [31:25–35:14] Joe Ryan’s domination of KC (1.30 ERA in 9 starts) vs. Lugo’s wildness (8 BB in 2 games). Munaf likes Twins ML and F5 under. Rays vs Mariners [46:39–50:15] Mariners -125 is Griffin’s Best Bet. Seattle plays well at home, and Rasmussen’s limited innings vs. a playoff-hunting SEA team makes M’s the play.

Scott Seidenberg and Steve Fezzik talk all things NFL this week. 🏈 Preseason Player & Team Analysis (00:04 - 10:21) 🔉 Scott Seidenberg (00:04 - 03:40) predicted Matthew Stafford might miss the first two regular-season games due to back issues. He recommended betting under Stafford’s 3,750 passing yards, which later adjusted to 3,600 yards, reinforcing his view as information from Ian Rapoport confirmed an aggravated disc and epidural injections. 📉 Steve Fezzik (03:42) underscored epidurals only mask pain and don't cure the injury, supporting the under bet. He further advocated betting Rams under 10 wins or missing the playoffs. 📊 Line movement insight (04:34): Rams moved from -3 to -2.5 vs. Texans. If Jimmy G starts due to Stafford’s absence, Seidenberg speculated the line might swing to Rams -1.5 or even Texans pick’em, emphasizing Houston's +2 power rating versus Rams' -2, potentially setting Houston -4 on neutral, or -3 in LA. 💡 Week 2 warning (06:22): No change in line Rams -5.5 at Titans, making it a value opportunity if Stafford remains out. Fezzik liked Titans +5.5 due to their "bet-on" team profile. ⚠️ Seidenberg’s fear (07:31): Titans could be the “sharp’s darling disappointment” like last year’s Panthers. Fezzik argued Panthers were victims of defensive injuries, not poor form. 🧠 Survivor Strategy: Parsons’ absence could impact Cowboys @ Eagles. Fezzik emphasized picking Eagles in survivor pools rather than betting -7, since early success reduces entry value risk, quoting: “Your entry, moron, isn’t even worth $1000... and you haven’t won yet.” (14:05) 🔥 Burrow Plays: Bengals starters including Joe Burrow will open vs. Eagles. Play Bengals 1Q -0.5 (-170) as Eagles start Tanner McKee. Total: 37—Fezzik prefers Week 1 unders when totals exceed 37. 🔄 Raiders vs Seahawks: Pete Carroll (28-20 preseason) may care more facing former team. Avoid assuming no motivation. 📊 Quarter and half-line strategies: Favor betting 1st quarters/halves with starter insights. Seidenberg said: “Starters for one or two drives? Bet the first quarter. Avoid the full game.” Fezzik’s critical note: “In the preseason, the number is just wrong... I actually think I want to lay the six.” (19:20) He emphasized blindly betting steam-chased lines at 6–8 AM PST is profitable. Week 2 targets: Bengals vs Commanders (ESPN MNF): Bet Bengals (starters will play more). Eagles vs Browns: Eagles are undervalued as Browns starters won’t play (Flacco gets reps in joint practice). Fezzik dismissed betting Eagles in preseason: “Sirianni is McVay. He doesn’t care.” (21:25) Scott Seidenberg’s 2026 insight: “New Bills Stadium blocks wind. In wind games, totals get steamed down… we’ll bet the over.” Contrast: Northwestern’s temp field = wind risk. Alt win totals: Saints under 5.5 = -110 Saints under 4.5 = +140 Saints under 2.5 = +500 Fezzik: only under 4.5 is fair value: “If you get more than 100 cents selling a win, it's good.” 🧠 Teaser Math Lesson: Two-team teaser at -120 = two -280 moneylines Not all -7 spreads have equal MLs: Eagles -7 = ML -340 Commanders -7 = ML -290 49ers -7 = ML -325 Thus, Eagles are teaser-worthy, others aren’t. Fezzik shared 10 out of 50 bootcamp tips: Poker tip: Join new tables—new players = easier money. Diamond status trick: 10x points at Caesars + 30 mins = free hotel stays. Bonus bets: Use for parlays/long shots, not ATS. Soft markets: Bet golf, tennis, obscure sports. Pitcher importance: In HR Derby, pitcher matters more than hitter. Pace betting: Target live college basketball first-half overs/unders. 3-leg parlays: Better odds than 4-legs; lower juice. Avoid 4-leg parlays: Effective juice = -140, worse value. Betting Round Robins: Mix +EV 3-leggers for long-term win. Medical checkups: Best EV tip—"Get tested." 3-leg teaser (+180) is more +EV than 2-leg at -120. Fezzik warns against 4-leg teasers unless they pay 3:1 or more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Will criticizes Rory McIlroy for skipping the playoff opener, calling it “pathetic” given the $25M prize pool and FedEx’s role as the tour’s biggest sponsor. He provides course analysis for TPC Southwind, noting narrow fairways, water hazards, and firm Bermuda greens that favor high-trajectory iron players and elite short-game specialists.

Additional picks: Xander Schauffele top 10 (+125) for his consistency at Southwind and Jacob Bridgman over Aldridge Potgieter (-175) based on Bridgman’s accuracy and putting edge.
