Microphone2Introduction to Tuesday MLB Card

[Munaf, 0:09]
Munaf Manji opens by setting the stage for the Tuesday MLB betting card, referencing missing lines due to unknown pitchers for the Tigers and Padres. They will cover all games with available betting lines and conclude with best bets.

[Griffin, 1:01]
Griffin Warner humorously opens, referencing his Rangers gear after mixed betting outcomes with the team: “scoring a million runs and then zero, then five with two bunts to kill an under.”


Palm tree Colorado Rockies at Miami Marlins

Start Time: 6:40 PM ET
Pitchers: Chase Dollander (COL) vs. Sandy Alcantara (MIA)

[Griffin, 2:32]
Correcting Munaf’s initial mix-up on the Rockies’ pitcher, Griffin emphasizes no one pays attention to the Rockies: “we are a great podcast for even spending a second covering them.”

Munaf bet the Marlins first 5 team total and run line (result: 1-1). Current lines: Marlins -177 ML, Rockies +160, Total 8–8.5.

[Griffin, 3:50]
Calls Rockies an “incompetent franchise” with WRC+ of 73 (27% worse than league average).
Alcantara’s ERA sits above 8.0; can’t trust him even against the Rockies.

[Munaf, 5:19]
Alcantara:
