What I Bet - Tuesday June 23rd

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.
