Cash That Ticket - Friday July 3rd

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday.
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the holiday weekend with a loaded Friday edition of Cash That Ticket, breaking down four featured MLB matchups before diving into the New York Giants NFL win total and closing with their best bets for the night. The show starts with a recap of Thursday's action, including a walk off win for Dave's best bet with the Cleveland Guardians and a narrow miss on his personal Seattle Mariners play behind a dominant Bryce Miller outing. From there the hosts break down Pittsburgh at Washington, where Foster Griffin's excellent form and edge against left handed hitters make the Nationals a clear first five innings lean, followed by Baltimore at Cincinnati, where hot weather and a rested Orioles club point toward a team total over. The Mets and Braves matchup becomes a bullpen driven under conversation given Christian Scott's inability to work deep into games, while Grant Holmes tries to navigate a Mets lineup he has rarely faced, all while Atlanta continues to play without Ronald Acuña Jr. The fourth featured game brings Michael King back to the mound against Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers one night after a wild slugfest, with both hosts targeting the first five innings under behind King's strong season long trend against Los Angeles hitters not named Freddie Freeman and Kyle Tucker. Beyond the headline games, Munaf flags value on the Rays against a struggling Spencer Arrighetti, while Dave breaks down a market driven angle on Arizona getting extra runs against Kyle Harrison and the Brewers. The back half of the show shifts to football as the pair continue their win total series with the New York Giants, weighing new head coach John Harbaugh's track record of fast turnarounds against the loss of Wan'Dale Robinson to the Titans and the trade of Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals, while balancing those changes against a healthy Malik Nabers, the additions of Odell Beckham Jr. and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and a promising young defensive front led by Abdul Carter and Brian Burns under new coordinator Dennard Wilson. Dave takes the over while Munaf sides with the under, setting up a friendly wager between the two co-hosts heading into the season. The show wraps with best bets for Friday, as Dave splits his play on the Astros and Munaf backs the Nationals on the moneyline, plus a quick look at a WNBA angle favoring the Chicago Sky against A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces.
