What I Bet - Thursday June 25th

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Episode 54 of the What I Bet show on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed lands on Thursday, June 25, with host Real_G Warner powering through a stacked night even while recovering from a brutal two week bout with E. coli. The focus is the decisive third match day of the World Cup group stage and a full Major League Baseball getaway day card. Warner opens in soccer with Curacao, the plucky one point side that drew Ecuador and collapsed late against Germany, now a two and a quarter goal underdog to Ivory Coast as the total inflates to three and a quarter, where he leans the underdog and likes the under even more. He works through Ecuador at plus three quarters against an already clinched and rotating Germany, a Sweden plus a half spot against Japan headlined by the strike pairing of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres, the Netherlands laying two and a half goals on an eliminated Tunisia under Ronald Koeman, a low scoring Australia and Paraguay matchup where the total has cratered toward one and three quarters, and a United States and Turkey clash where heavy American rotation, rested yellow carded players, and the Christian Pulisic question all push him to the Turkey plus a half and the under. From there the show turns to baseball, where Warner runs the entire board: the Royals into a Tampa Bay bullpen game behind Casey Legumina with a lean to the under, Bryce Miller against a wild Bubba Chandler in Pittsburgh, Jeffrey Springs and Landen Roupp in a carrying San Francisco yard, Cristopher Sánchez laying a huge number at Cade Cavalli and the Nationals, MacKenzie Gore against Kevin Gausman in Toronto, Matthew Boyd at the Mets, Cam Schlittler at Connelly Early in Fenway without a fully healthy Aaron Judge, and Zac Gallen against Michael McGreevy in St. Louis. The headline spot is Houston at Detroit, where the Astros bats run into Troy Melton and a Tigers club Warner trusts even with a Tarik Skubal injury scare, a Josh Hader return, and a Jeremy Peña hamstring question. After a Kansas City under loss on the prior episode, Warner sets the What I Bet best bet on the Detroit Tigers at home around minus 116, trusting Troy Melton, the Detroit lineup, and manager AJ Hinch against an up and coming Houston team.
