The boys are back for Weekend Pickoff with an elite weekend of sport on deck, and yes, we actually get into the baseball. We kick off with the absolutely insane over Spoon hit right before we recorded… you’re going to want to hear that story.

Then Spoon throws out a genuinely interesting conundrum about the sheer number of hit-by-pitches we’re seeing around MLB right now, before we roll into the tips. Eric is doing the unthinkable and tipping against his beloved Blue Jays, Spoon’s hunting value with arms out of Cincinnati and Houston, and Rolsey briefly disappears into the ether when his internet decides it’s had enough.

We talk a few Masters bets to finish, then send you into the weekend properly.

The boys are back off the Easter long weekend to recap a massive few days of sport, then Eric takes us around the world as international leagues fire up. We hit a no-hitter in Japan, a KBO boom that is somehow happening while games get longer and a wild CPBL Opening Day finish in Taiwan.

Back in MLB, a couple of early red lights are flashing for the Giants and the Red Sox, Spoon takes a victory lap (politely), and we talk about how the NL Central already looks like a proper dogfight, including the sentence we did not expect to say this week: we're watching Pirates games on purpose.

We wrap with Spoon’s two plays for the midweek slate, Tuesday in the US and Wednesday morning in Australia, featuring Reds vs Marlins and Blue Jays vs Dodgers.

Good Friday Weekend Pickoff is here. Spoon and Eric drop their best bets for the weekend, then we finish with a little side quest: each of us picks a big-name bat still hunting their first homer of 2026 and calls the weekend breakout.
