Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday.

The MLB Friday betting preview with Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner broke down twelve games with both hosts riding an 8–2 streak on best bets. Munaf opened by stressing the urgency with roughly 35 games left, while Griffin noted, “we’re getting hot at the right time of year.”

Colorado at Pittsburgh led the card. Antonio Senzatela, torched in a 17–16 loss the last time he saw the Pirates, carries a 2–8 road record. Munaf called the over 8.5 the best angle. Griffin, mocking the Rockies as “one of the least competitive franchises in global sports,” leaned Pirates at home but doubted unders due to Colorado bats.

Washington at Philadelphia followed with Cade Cavalli against Taijuan Walker. Cavalli threw seven shutout innings versus the Phillies previously, but Munaf warned that rematches favor the hitters. Griffin advised focusing on Phillies run lines and blowout props.

The Red Sox at Yankees matchup paired Brayan Bello with Max Fried. Griffin argued the line “doesn’t respect what Bello has done,” while Munaf highlighted Boston’s 6–1 record in Bello’s last seven against New York. Fried has allowed four or more runs in four of his last five. Both favored Boston plus money.

Houston at Baltimore featured Lance McCullers in his first start since July 19 against Cade Povich. Griffin pointed to Houston’s offensive slump of just eight runs in seven games. Munaf doubted McCullers’ sharpness and leaned over nine, adding that Adley Rutschman is sidelined and Josh Hader likely out until October.

In Detroit, Ryan Bergen faced Casey Mize. Munaf cited Mize’s 3.63 ERA and 103 strikeouts, with Detroit winning his last four starts. Griffin criticized Mize’s All-Star nod and praised Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez. Both leaned under early but saw Royals value.

The Mets at Braves matchup showcased rookie Nolan McLean, who struck out eight but walked four in his debut. Griffin favored Atlanta as a home dog and the over 8.5, while Munaf leaned similarly, noting hot Atlanta weather would boost scoring.

St. Louis at Tampa Bay featured Miles Mikolas against Adrian Houser. Griffin trusted the Rays’ bullpen, while Munaf stressed Mikolas’ inconsistency and backed Tampa at -128.

Minnesota at Chicago pitted Zebby Matthews against Aaron Civale. Griffin quickly said, “give me the White Sox.” Munaf agreed, citing Matthews’ 5.06 ERA and Chicago’s 7–3 record at home on Friday nights, all as underdogs.

In Texas, Slade Cecconi met Nathan Eovaldi. Griffin praised Eovaldi’s Cy Young-level form, recommending under plays. Munaf backed that, noting Rangers home unders sit at 64.5 percent.

Milwaukee hosting San Francisco saw Carson Whisenhunt oppose José Quintana. Griffin highlighted Bryce Turang’s surge, while Munaf cited Milwaukee’s 42–20 home record and San Francisco’s 13–22 mark against lefties, backing Brewers run line at plus money.

Cincinnati at Arizona matched Zach Littell with Ryne Nelson. Munaf praised Nelson’s 5–1, 2.20 ERA home mark across 57 innings, backing the Diamondbacks and their team total. Griffin agreed Arizona held value despite a high price.

The Dodgers at Padres closed the slate with Blake Snell against Yu Darvish. Griffin trusted Darvish’s improvement and liked San Diego as a home underdog. Munaf leaned to the under eight, noting Snell’s six scoreless innings against the Padres last week but citing Darvish’s 2.55 career ERA in 16 appearances versus Los Angeles.

Best bets closed the show. Griffin picked Tampa Bay over St. Louis, while Munaf selected the over in Houston and Baltimore, both looking to extend their winning streak into the weekend.
