Cash That Ticket - Thursday June 25th

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday.

Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler return to the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a full Thursday betting menu on Cash That Ticket, recorded a little earlier than usual for a getaway-day slate that still offers five MLB games with lines plus the next NFL win total on the board. The guys open in the National League East as the Philadelphia Phillies visit the Washington Nationals, with Cristopher Sánchez bringing a scoreless May and a strong track record against right-handed bats while Cade Cavalli tries to steady himself at home after a rough stretch heading into the All-Star break. Dave lays out why the Phillies run line and the under both look live, with Kyle Schwarber ripping the cover off the ball atop a hot Philadelphia lineup. The show heads north of the border for Texas at Toronto, where MacKenzie Gore and his strong home splits meet Kevin Gausman, a pitcher Dave has tried to fade for years and one who has cost him plenty, and the conversation lands on the under and a Blue Jays team total under against an offense the guys simply do not trust. The Chicago Cubs and New York Mets bring Matthew Boyd back from the injured list after more than a month off against Freddy Peralta, who is looking to rebound from a brutal outing, and with Juan Soto banged up the guys weigh recency bias, familiarity, and a Dansby Swanson slump before leaning Mets and a possible first-five team total over. Then comes the best rivalry in sports, the New York Yankees at the Boston Red Sox inside Fenway Park, where Cam Schlittler has been dominant against Boston in two prior starts and Connelly Early has battled home struggles, and with Aaron Judge out and both bullpens flying back from the road the guys zero in on the under, particularly across the first five innings. The MLB slate wraps in St. Louis, where Zac Gallen and his ugly numbers visit Michael McGreevy and the Cardinals, and the cleanest angle on the board becomes the Cardinals and a Cardinals team total over as a straight fade of a struggling arm. From there the focus shifts to the Tennessee Titans and their 2026 win total of six and a half, a team coming off a three and fourteen season that added first-round picks and a new staff with Robert Saleh on defense and Brian Daboll on offense, yet still leans on Cam Ward behind an offensive line that surrendered roughly fifty-five sacks a year ago. Dave makes the case for the under, pointing to processing concerns, a tougher schedule than it appears, and an AFC South that should get better around them, and Munaf agrees, calling Tennessee a six-win team that is a year away from being a year away. The guys close with best bets, doubling up on the Cardinals in the first five innings and adding the under in the Yankees and Red Sox game, before Dave tosses in a bonus daytime angle in San Francisco between the Athletics and Giants.
