Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner is back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a full board edition of the What I Bet podcast, sweeping from the World Cup group stage into a fifteen game Major League Baseball card and riding a 2-0 run on his last two best bets, both cashed on Kansas City Royals games. He opens on the soccer pitch with Portugal against Uzbekistan at a neutral site, where the tournament debutant sits as a underdog of more than two goals, and he uses the spot to question both the newcomers and an expanded World Cup he believes is driven by money rather than competition. He cools on Portugal as a disappointing side despite a strong qualifying run, raises whether Cristiano Ronaldo is part of the problem, and tosses in a quick aside about Lionel Messi still finding the net. From there he digs into England against the Ghana Black Stars, calling the two goal favorite price extreme given a leaky England defense, recapping Ghana's stoppage time win over Panama, and landing on the underdog while admitting he likes the under even more. He moves to Panama against Croatia, framing the game around an aging Croatian core that has searched for a goal scorer for years, the departure of Marcelo Brozović, and Luka Modrić's careless early mistakes, leaning Panama plus the points and the under. He closes the international slate with the Democratic Republic of the Congo against Colombia, surprised the juice has drifted off Colombia, and he stakes a position on a stingy Congo side he believes can advance as a third place team, liking the underdog and the under. Then it is all baseball. Warner starts with the Houston Astros at the Toronto Blue Jays as Shane Bieber returns, leaning the Astros as underdogs behind Peter Lambert given the uncertainty. He highlights the New York Yankees at the Detroit Tigers, where Carlos Rodón faces Casey Mize, and he backs a red hot Detroit club fighting to stay in the playoff race so they do not have to trade Tarik Skubal. He reaches the Kansas City Royals at the Tampa Bay Rays, with Luinder Avila opposite Shane McClanahan, praising Avila's stuff and leaning the under again after the same play cashed the night before in a 2-1 final. He runs the rest of the board with quick, sharp leans, touching the Pittsburgh Pirates behind Mitch Keller against George Kirby, the Philadelphia Phillies with Jesús Luzardo against a Zack Littell he calls a walking launching pad, the Cincinnati Reds and Nick Lodolo against Brandon Sproat, the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets where Kodai Senga's number looks expensive, plus spots involving the Dodgers, Diamondbacks, the Boston Red Sox behind Sonny Gray, the Baltimore Orioles behind Shane Baz, and the Athletics against Robbie Ray. He shares promo code KICK50 for fifty dollars off an all access package at Pregame.com, dropping the price from 249 to 199 and covering every best bet through the Hall of Fame game on August 6th. He then locks the What I Bet best bet of the episode, staying where the juice has been made by riding the under in the Royals and Rays matchup with McClanahan and Avila on the mound. Under eight is the play, and Warner signs off chasing a third straight winner.

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 Michael King, with both bullpens strong and Ronald Acuña Jr. sidelined by a hamstring injury. Griffin closes with his official What I Bet Best Bet: Kansas City Royals under 7.5 at Tampa Bay Rays at minus 120, with a recommendation to sprinkle on the under 4 in the first half as well.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin "Real G" Warner hosts this episode of What I Bet from the Straight Outta Vegas AM podcast feed, battling through a bout of Montezuma's revenge picked up during a trip to the World Cup in Mexico, but delivering a complete and sharp betting breakdown for Friday, June 19th, covering four FIFA World Cup group stage matches and a full Major League Baseball slate without missing a beat. Warner opens with the United States against Australia in Seattle, questioning Australia's ability to score at all against the Americans and landing on an Australia team total under as his most interesting number in that window, with the total having climbed from two and a quarter to two and a half. He moves to Morocco against Scotland in Boston, where he respects Morocco's credible draw with Brazil but cannot ignore Scotland's fundamental inability to put the ball in the net, leading him toward another team total under look at two and a quarter while flagging the important distinction between the two and two and a quarter lines. Brazil and Haiti gets a pass from Warner given the competitive imbalance, though he offers the notable observation that Brazil entered this 2026 World Cup as only a fourth or fifth global favorite despite their historic status. He wraps up the World Cup section on Turkey versus Paraguay, the most contested matchup of the group, raising concerns about Turkey's lineup decisions against Australia and their long track record of underperforming in major international competitions. On the MLB side, Warner covers every game on the board, identifying the Atlanta Braves as a genuinely compelling home underdog against Jacob Mizerowski and the Brewers, calling Atlanta the best team in baseball not named the Dodgers, and finding value on the Cleveland Guardians at plus 111 visiting Houston. He also leans toward the Twins as plus 147 underdogs at Arizona and likes the under in Seattle where strong winds were a factor the night before. Warner wraps the episode with the Pregame.com promo code KICK50, which gets listeners $50 off All Access football packages through the Hall of Fame Game on August 6th and expires June 29th, before delivering his What I Bet Best Bet, Kansas City Royals and Seth Lugo at plus 113 at home against the St. Louis Cardinals in one of the better rivalry games on the Friday card.

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).
