Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The guys also give out best bets.

For Orioles vs White Sox, confusion surrounded Chicago’s starting pitcher—Sean Burke or Jared Shuster. The Orioles were heavy -215 favorites. Munaf hesitated to back either side, citing Zach Eflin's recent struggles and Chicago's poor form. Griffin criticized the White Sox as dysfunctional, saying backing them was dangerous.

Milwaukee faced Philadelphia with DL Hall starting against Taijuan Walker. Philadelphia was favored at -133. Bryce Harper was listed day-to-day with an elbow contusion. Griffin emphasized Milwaukee’s overreliance on base stealing and bullpen fatigue. Munaf supported Philadelphia, noting their 19-9 home record.

The A’s faced the Blue Jays with Jeffrey Springs against Chris Bassett. The Blue Jays, favored at -160, saw Bassett excel at home (1.61 ERA over 28 innings). Springs pitched well but suffered from bullpen collapses. Munaf leaned Blue Jays and under 8.5.

For Rockies vs Mets, Peterson faced Freeland with Mets huge -306 favorites. Freeland struggled at Coors but was slightly better on the road. Munaf suggested Mets team total overs while Griffin found no value backing Colorado.

In Giants vs Marlins, Harrison faced Quantrill. Griffin noted Quantrill’s recent turnaround (4 wins, 6 ER in May), while Harrison’s pitch limit posed risk. Munaf agreed Miami offered home underdog value.

Guardians hosted Angels with Luis Ortiz vs Jose Soriano. Soriano’s control issues were concerning (14 walks in 4 starts). Griffin favored Cleveland’s patient lineup, citing bullpen advantage.

Boston played Atlanta with Giolito vs Grant Holmes. Griffin detailed Red Sox clubhouse turmoil and lack of cohesion. Munaf pointed out Giolito’s inconsistency, especially against Atlanta earlier. Both leaned Braves team total over.

In Cardinals vs Rangers, Lieberatore likely faced Jack Leiter. The Rangers had gone 24-6 to the under at home. Both hosts strongly supported the under 8.5.

For Tigers vs Royals, Casey Mize opposed Seth Lugo. Griffin backed Kansas City due to Mize’s IL return and KC’s home form. Munaf highlighted Lugo’s good career numbers vs Detroit.

Tampa Bay visited Houston with Pepiot vs Valdez. Griffin respected Houston’s design against lefties. Munaf leaned under, noting Framber’s 4-1 under record at home and Pepiot’s 3-0 road unders.

In Pirates vs Padres, Keller faced Pivetta. Griffin liked first-five unders due to San Diego’s offensive struggles but found little value elsewhere. Munaf noted Keller’s poor past vs Padres.

The Nationals faced the Diamondbacks with Irvin vs Kelly. Griffin leaned over given bullpen issues and Arizona’s park. Munaf added Arizona’s historical home unders with Kelly but agreed on D-backs team total over.

Seattle hosted Minnesota with Zebby Matthews vs Brian Wu. Wu’s home dominance (12-1) made Seattle a strong pick. Both leaned under 7.

Lastly, Yankees faced Dodgers with Max Fried vs Gonsolin. Fried was surprisingly favored at -116. Griffin was shocked Dodgers were home underdogs, citing bullpen risks for New York. Munaf also preferred Dodgers ML and slightly leaned over.

For best bets, Griffin chose Phillies ML at -126 while Munaf picked under 8.5 in Cardinals-Rangers.
