Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down the MLB Championship Series games for Tuesday and Wednesday on RJ Bell’s Dream Preview. They recap Game 1 between the Dodgers and Brewers, where Blake Snell was dominant but pulled too early, and discuss the managerial trend of overthinking bullpen decisions in the postseason. Griffin criticizes Dave Roberts’ handling of the Dodgers bullpen, noting that despite their success, Los Angeles has been winning close games without consistent offense. Both hosts debate the Dodgers’ chances as Yoshinobu Yamamoto faces Freddy Peralta in Game 2, emphasizing Peralta’s home dominance and the potential for an offensive breakout. They agree there’s betting value on the Brewers as home underdogs and favor the over with totals moving toward 7.5. Transitioning to series prices, they note the Dodgers at –425 after Game 1, with Munaf suggesting it might be better to bet Milwaukee in Game 2 rather than the full series. They then preview the ALCS, where Seattle leads Toronto 2–0 heading home. Griffin praises Seattle’s pitching depth and timely hitting, while Munaf highlights George Kirby’s home dominance at T-Mobile Park and Shane Bieber’s uncertainty for Toronto. They both lean Seattle at –131 and like the under, expecting a low-scoring matchup. The Mariners’ series odds of –650 signal near dominance, while Toronto’s +500 line offers little appeal. They joke about Canada’s Thanksgiving and the Blue Jays’ collapse before turning to World Series futures, noting Dodgers –105, Mariners +160, Brewers 7–1, and Blue Jays 14–1. Munaf finds value in Seattle’s odds, given their path to the Finals. Griffin’s best bet is Brewers +111 behind Peralta at home, citing Yamamoto’s vulnerability and Milwaukee’s resilience. Munaf’s best bet is Mariners –131, trusting their pitching and momentum to take a commanding 3–0 series lead.
