  • More Braves Hate

    Phillies fan checking in, appreciate Sean v Dabbundo each year but now that the Braves are crashing we need to dwell on them sucking a bit longer.

  • Solid content but hoping for a new addition

    Overall love the pod. Great info and short enough to consume quickly. I do hope that there is another addition to the pod now that Dabbundo is gone. Hard to complain too much about free content but just don’t feel like Tanner (with a negative ROI in the app) is even close to a solid 1:1 sub for Dabbundo. But overall love the pod.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AL West Betting Preview | 2026
Q: Grant, any lingering thoughts on the AL West or futures you're particularly high on beyond this division preview?
Grant mentions other long-shot bets like Roman Anthony for home runs and notes additional value in a few player props across the league, signaling openness to opportunistic bets beyond the divisions, especially around rising talents and pitchers with upside in the early season.
AL West Betting Preview | 2026
Q: Grant, what do you see going into this year that you like relative to last year and any other bets aside from their division odds that you want to give out?
Grant highlights how last year's underperformance by several hitters and the strong pitching foundation create upside this season, especially if players like Seager, Snider, and Langford rebound and if the Rangers' rotation improves enough to sanity-check their lineup. He emphasizes the Rangers' win total and playoff chances as a core bet, with upside driven by pitching depth and bat-to-ball improvements.
MLB Longshot Best Bets | 2026
Q: Which players are considered top long-shot bets for home run leaders?
Among the examples, Juan Soto is cited at around 25-to-1, Brent Rooker at 50-to-1, and Joe Adele at 80-to-1 as long-shot picks with varying ceilings based on power profiles and park effects.
MLB Longshot Best Bets | 2026
Q: What defines a long shot in this episode?
A long shot is discussed as bets typically above the conventional odds, with a flexible threshold that varies by category; for example, a home run leader might be 25-to-1 or 50-to-1, while other categories may reach 50-to-1 or more, and the key is seeking value relative to the event and environment.
MLB Offseason Update | 2026
Q: What are your thoughts on the Dodgers and where they're headed in the current season?
The win total for the Dodgers opened at 104.5; however, I think this is safely a 100 plus win team.
