It's the Mike Francesa podcast on the BetRivers Network.

Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the Mike Francesa podcast, part of the BetRivers Network.

And we join you as we conclude game 162 of the regular season in Major League Baseball.

And we know what that means.

It means we're going to recap, okay?

And one of them will not be a happy recap, as they used to say in the old days.

Now, before I get to that, let me get some business out of the way.

Bet Rivers Football Squares.

Players who place the qualifying same game, a polly of at least $10 on any eligible NFL and NCAA football game.

We'll receive one standard entry into the weekly football squares.

You can get two, three, four.

It's a fun way to play along.

Winning standard squares will be awarded a prize of $20 bonus bet.
