Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets.

he MLB Tuesday Preview & Best Bets podcast hosted by Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner delivers a game-by-game analysis of the 13 MLB matchups scheduled for Tuesday. The show opens with some light NBA draft lottery banter, but the bulk of the discussion is tightly focused on baseball betting strategies, player performance, and team trends, all based on currently available betting lines.

In the Brewers versus Guardians game, both hosts express doubts over Quinn Priester's reliability as the Brewers have lost four straight games he's started, providing him minimal run support. Logan Allen's control issues are acknowledged, but the Guardians are still preferred as a slight home favorite. The Twins against the Orioles matchup sees both hosts backing the Twins, riding their eight-game win streak and taking advantage of Kade Povich’s continued struggles, especially at home. Munaf suggests taking the Twins team total over due to their potent offense.

For the White Sox and Reds, Griffin leans toward the Reds’ offense prevailing, noting the White Sox’s dreadful 3-17 road record. Abbott’s limited innings aren't seen as problematic due to the White Sox’s overall weaknesses. In the Cardinals and Phillies clash, Sonny Gray’s consistency and St. Louis’ bullpen strength make them an appealing underdog, with both hosts preferring an under if the total reaches eight.

The Rays versus Blue Jays game highlights the collapse of Tampa Bay's pitching, with Shane Boz’s recent blowups making the Blue Jays the favored side, especially with Jose Berrios pitching steadily at home. In the Pirates versus Mets game, both see little hope for the Pirates despite a recent managerial change, with Munaf favoring the Mets run line and team total over, given Kodai Senga’s strong stats.

For Nationals versus Braves, the consensus is Braves team total over, citing Soroka's vulnerability and the Braves’ offensive firepower, though bullpen concerns persist. The Marlins against Cubs matchup leans strongly toward the Cubs, with their superior offense and Ben Brown’s solid form giving them a significant edge.

The Rockies versus Rangers game reflects both hosts' disdain for the Rockies' 2-17 road record, suggesting Rangers -1.5 and under 8.5 as the play, with the Arlington ballpark playing pitcher-friendly. Royals versus Astros is a more cautious game, with both acknowledging Michael Wacha's solid form and Framber Valdez’s unpredictability when a favorite, but Munaf leans Astros at -140.

The Angels versus Padres game is flagged as a potential upset, with Dylan Cease expected to regress after his long no-hit bid. Both hosts side with the Angels due to the risky price on the Padres. In the Yankees versus Mariners showdown, Griffin emphasizes Brian Wu’s 11-1 home record and favors Mariners as a home underdog while also suggesting the under, citing the ballpark's suppression of runs.

Finally, the Diamondbacks versus Giants game is strongly supported by both as a Giants money line play, highlighting Robbie Ray's perfect 8-0 start record for the Giants. Brentt Fott’s last strong outing against the Dodgers is considered unsustainable in the pitcher-friendly Oracle Park, especially given the Giants’ ability to win division games at home.

Best bets for the day are Griffin’s pick of Guardians ML at -120 and Munaf’s pick of Giants ML at -105. The overall tone reflects skepticism toward big favorites, leaning instead on undervalued home underdogs and carefully selected unders in specific matchups, especially where bullpen and venue factors suppress offense.
