- 0:00Speaker 1: Yep. Inside, I want to kill myself. We are on
- 0:05Speaker 1: OWN seven run over the last two days after tonight
- 0:08Speaker 1: it was just complete bullshit. So that's that's I'm gonna
- 0:11Speaker 1: start off this show horrible Sunday one and five. I
- 0:14Speaker 1: don't even know what to tell you about that. I
- 0:17Speaker 1: just don't want to do this anymore. I have never
- 0:20Speaker 1: seen anything like this. Man with the slump continuing, two
- 0:24Speaker 1: straight losses, not a good day at all. Own four
- 0:28Speaker 1: that have not had a good season. Man with wookends
- 0:33Speaker 1: the slump that I'm on, and the slump continues. I've
- 0:37Speaker 1: reached into pink. Actually, I'm gonna burn my browins hack Man,
- 0:42Speaker 1: I don't know what is going on with the Bruins.
- 0:44Speaker 1: March Hape? Is that what it is? I don't even
- 0:47Speaker 1: know it's it's March ninth, I think who even knows? Man,
- 0:51Speaker 1: I don't know what day it is anymore. I don't
- 0:53Speaker 1: even know what data is anymore. Man, back with you
- 0:56Speaker 1: after the worst day that I could possibly have, Back
- 0:59Speaker 1: with you as I always am until I die, at
- 1:03Speaker 1: least oh and two. Yesterday and yesterday it did not
- 1:06Speaker 1: go well for me. Own five. The worst month that
- 1:10Speaker 1: I've ever had in my eighteen years doing this. I
- 1:13Speaker 1: don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 1: To the slump, praise, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please. I don't even know what
- 1:24Speaker 1: I should do at this point other than potentially end
- 1:27Speaker 1: at all. What's up, everybody, It's towed back with you.
- 1:35Speaker 1: This is better off dead. For Wednesday, July twenty third,
- 1:39Speaker 1: I am unshowered, unmoisturized, uh not thriving, slumping and in
- 1:47Speaker 1: the breakdown lane all right, uh yesterday oh one and
- 1:50Speaker 1: one not good and the loser was the one that
- 1:52Speaker 1: he had to pay more money on the Cincinnati Reds,
- 1:55Speaker 1: which I'm gonna tell you man, the Reds they out
- 1:58Speaker 1: hit the Nationals in that game, ten to seven, and
- 2:00Speaker 1: they lost the game six to one. You almost never
- 2:03Speaker 1: see that, a team getting ten hits and only getting
- 2:05Speaker 1: one run out of it and then the other team
- 2:07Speaker 1: getting six runs off of seven hits. And it wasn't
- 2:10Speaker 1: like the walk disparity was that crazy either. Chase Burns
- 2:13Speaker 1: was good in the game. He had ten strikeouts in
- 2:16Speaker 1: like five innings, so his stuff was there, and the
- 2:19Speaker 1: game just still didn't go our way. Washington with their
- 2:23Speaker 1: semi bulp end game. I don't know how that worked
- 2:25Speaker 1: out for Washington. Obviously, the Reds were putting guys on
- 2:29Speaker 1: base and not scoring them, so that was great. And
- 2:31Speaker 1: then Yankees Toronto. I mean that was one that was
- 2:34Speaker 1: just teetering like right around the number, pretty much trending
- 2:37Speaker 1: towards exactly the number all game, and it landed exactly
- 2:41Speaker 1: on the nine. So it was a push. What can
- 2:43Speaker 1: you do on that? We'll move on to today. I'm
- 2:46Speaker 1: gonna do some weird things today. I guess I'm gonna
- 2:48Speaker 1: have two full game run line plays. Probably not a
- 2:53Speaker 1: good idea, and I'm doing it anyway. I'm gonna have
- 2:55Speaker 1: a first five under and a first five run line
- 3:00Speaker 1: as well. So I'm all over the map in baseball
- 3:03Speaker 1: today and I don't even know if it's a good
- 3:05Speaker 1: idea or not, but we're gonna do it anyway. Man.
- 3:08Speaker 1: We'll start with the WNBA, where we do have one
- 3:10Speaker 1: game between Atlanta and Phoenix, which I have differing opinions
- 3:15Speaker 1: on this. Man, I went back and forth on this game,
- 3:18Speaker 1: and I'm like, obviously, I'm not gonna give out a
- 3:19Speaker 1: play on this. Phoenix is up from six and a
- 3:21Speaker 1: half to eight with juice. I mean, they are a
- 3:24Speaker 1: lot better of a team than I thought they were
- 3:26Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season. They're not bad, and
- 3:28Speaker 1: they're well rested here as they have not played since
- 3:31Speaker 1: before the All Star break. So now the question is
- 3:34Speaker 1: it becomes rest versus rust like, right like, is Phoenix
- 3:38Speaker 1: gonna use that time off to rest up or are
- 3:41Speaker 1: they gonna be rusty and in a bad spot? Here?
- 3:43Speaker 1: They were on a nice role where they had won
- 3:45Speaker 1: three games in a row and then they lost their
- 3:47Speaker 1: last game two Minnesota going into the All Star break.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Minnesota best team in the league. That was a big game.
- 3:53Speaker 1: But is that gonna hang them over through the All
- 3:55Speaker 1: Star break or are they gonna be rusty coming out
- 3:57Speaker 1: of the All Star break? I don't know because even
- 3:59Speaker 1: though at played yesterday and they did play at Vegas,
- 4:03Speaker 1: so they're traveling down to Phoenix not a huge amount
- 4:05Speaker 1: of travel, but I could see that going both ways
- 4:07Speaker 1: for Atlanta. Right Like, they're not rested because they played yesterday,
- 4:11Speaker 1: But is the fact that they have already played once
- 4:14Speaker 1: out of the All Star break and it actually helped them?
- 4:16Speaker 1: Like I talk about this in like basketball tournaments sometimes
- 4:19Speaker 1: or you have a team that already has one game
- 4:21Speaker 1: under their belt in the tournament. People think, oh, that
- 4:23Speaker 1: team already played, they're gonna be tired, But the opposite
- 4:27Speaker 1: kind of happens with that team actually, because they've played
- 4:30Speaker 1: that game already, they're used to playing again and they
- 4:32Speaker 1: kind of have that momentum going on. But of course
- 4:35Speaker 1: there isn't really momentum in this case because Atlanta lost
- 4:38Speaker 1: the game yesterday, but that was kind of an outlier
- 4:40Speaker 1: of a game to where Atlanta just played a really
- 4:42Speaker 1: poor game yesterday Vegas. It seemed like Jackie Young might
- 4:46Speaker 1: not play for them yesterday, but she did, and she
- 4:49Speaker 1: is one of their better players, so maybe she wasn't
- 4:51Speaker 1: one hundred percent, but she had an alright game. So
- 4:54Speaker 1: I don't know what I would want to do with
- 4:56Speaker 1: this game. Man, it looks like the money is coming
- 4:58Speaker 1: in on the Phoenix side. I mean, it's already well
- 5:00Speaker 1: past that key number of seven in basketball where the
- 5:03Speaker 1: teams stop potentially following. But that's pretty much all I
- 5:06Speaker 1: have to say about that game. There's no way that
- 5:08Speaker 1: I'm gonna be doing anything with that game. And I
- 5:11Speaker 1: do think Atlanta does have one injury, which is why
- 5:14Speaker 1: the line looks like it might be a little bit
- 5:16Speaker 1: higher than you'd expect. Ryan Howard, Maybe that's what I'm
- 5:19Speaker 1: thinking of. I don't really know who she is, but
- 5:21Speaker 1: she did not play last night, and she's not playing
- 5:24Speaker 1: tonight either, I guess, so that's something to keep in mind.
- 5:27Speaker 1: I guess. Let's move on to baseball, whereas, which is
- 5:31Speaker 1: why the sport I'm gonna have all my plays here.
- 5:35Speaker 1: We're gonna go. We'll start with the rundown here, which
- 5:38Speaker 1: I should have already brought up that graphic before I
- 5:40Speaker 1: started talking about women's basketball. But does women's basketball even count?
- 5:44Speaker 1: Doesn't even exist? I don't know, man, Baseball, we have
- 5:48Speaker 1: afternoon games today because it is Wednesday, so some of
- 5:50Speaker 1: these teams will be traveling and have tomorrow off, et cetera.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Which I like Thursday, man, because it's one of those
- 5:57Speaker 1: days where you can focus on like a smaller baseball card.
- 6:00Speaker 1: It almost feels like a break, like a day off,
- 6:02Speaker 1: and sometimes my handicapping is better on those days with
- 6:05Speaker 1: less to try to focus on. Cincinnati is at Washington.
- 6:08Speaker 1: As I already said, Cincinnati lost for us yesterday. They've
- 6:12Speaker 1: lost both games in the series so far. So Cincinnati
- 6:15Speaker 1: not playing well right now really, although yesterday again I
- 6:18Speaker 1: thought it was a misleading man. I mean again, a
- 6:20Speaker 1: ten to seven hit disparity and you lose the game.
- 6:23Speaker 1: And the game was one to one into the fifth
- 6:25Speaker 1: inning too, So I don't know. Chase Burns maybe just
- 6:27Speaker 1: losing steam a little bit trying to go deep into
- 6:30Speaker 1: these games. You almost threw one hundred pitches, but I
- 6:33Speaker 1: wouldn't say he was exactly that bad. Both teams, well,
- 6:37Speaker 1: the natsi's a little bit more of their bullpen yesterday.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I guess the Nats have the worst of the two
- 6:42Speaker 1: bullpens here, So I think you give Cincinnati the bullpen
- 6:45Speaker 1: edge here. Nick Loudolo is gonna be pitching for Cincinnati.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Three point three to three ERA one point oh wait,
- 6:52Speaker 1: whip good numbers on the season, better on the road
- 6:54Speaker 1: as well, two point five to six road ERA. Pitching
- 6:58Speaker 1: well in the month of July as well, in three
- 7:00Speaker 1: starts nineteen to three, strike out walk ratio two point
- 7:03Speaker 1: three seven er. He actually is allowed three or fewer
- 7:08Speaker 1: earned runs in every start going all the way back
- 7:10Speaker 1: through June eighteenth, and two or fewer, and all of
- 7:12Speaker 1: them except one three run outing at Philadelphia, and in
- 7:16Speaker 1: that entire span, that was the only game that he
- 7:18Speaker 1: started that the Reds lost. Have won five of his
- 7:21Speaker 1: last six starts, so he is pitching well right now.
- 7:24Speaker 1: He's in good form, but his numbers against Washington are
- 7:27Speaker 1: not that great, and fifty four at bats two ninety
- 7:30Speaker 1: six average allowed seven thirty four ohps isn't that high,
- 7:33Speaker 1: but they have gotten hits off him a ten to
- 7:35Speaker 1: three strike out walk ratio. So do we trust Lodolo
- 7:39Speaker 1: in this spot? I don't know, man, It's not something
- 7:41Speaker 1: that I want to get involved in. He's going to
- 7:43Speaker 1: be opposed by Michael Saraka, who has a bad ERA
- 7:47Speaker 1: five point one ERA, but a one point one to
- 7:49Speaker 1: five whip kind of indicates that ERA is a little
- 7:52Speaker 1: bit misleading. He's been similar both home in a way.
- 7:56Speaker 1: His strikeout walk rate really hasn't been that bad or
- 7:58Speaker 1: strike out walk ratio, I guess, but he has been
- 8:01Speaker 1: worse this month than he was in the previous month,
- 8:03Speaker 1: and Washington has lost seven starts in a row of
- 8:06Speaker 1: his which is not a good sign. This month is
- 8:09Speaker 1: era is six point nine to two, a lot of
- 8:11Speaker 1: it because he got rocked in one start against the
- 8:13Speaker 1: Red Sox does have a thirteen to six strikeout walk
- 8:16Speaker 1: race here this month, so his walk rate has gone
- 8:19Speaker 1: up a little bit. He's walked multiple guys in every
- 8:21Speaker 1: outing this month, and he's gone a little bit less
- 8:25Speaker 1: deep into these games too. He's failed to make five
- 8:27Speaker 1: innings and two out of the three, so he's not
- 8:29Speaker 1: in the greatest form right now. He does have good
- 8:32Speaker 1: matchup numbers against the Reds for the most part. In
- 8:34Speaker 1: thirteen at bats, you only have two hits off him,
- 8:37Speaker 1: no extra base hits, but he has walked six of
- 8:40Speaker 1: them and three strikeouts, so three strikeout six walks against them,
- 8:44Speaker 1: one fifty four average, allowed five to seventy five ops.
- 8:47Speaker 1: The matchup numbers do favorite Soroka, but I don't know
- 8:52Speaker 1: if I love it. I mean, he's not the pitcher
- 8:54Speaker 1: that's in the better form right now. I would probably
- 8:56Speaker 1: prefer Ladolo out of these two starters. But the money
- 8:59Speaker 1: is coming in towards Washington. Cincinnati is already down for
- 9:02Speaker 1: minus one forty to minus one twenty, and again some
- 9:05Speaker 1: of it is probably because of the price, because professional
- 9:08Speaker 1: better is probably looking at this thinking, well, I don't
- 9:10Speaker 1: think Cincinnati should be a favorite like this on the
- 9:13Speaker 1: road here eighty one percent of tickets, only sixty seven
- 9:15Speaker 1: percent of the cash. That changed a little bit, but
- 9:17Speaker 1: eighty and now sixty six are those two percentages now. Still,
- 9:21Speaker 1: it looks like Cincinnati is a public road favorite with
- 9:24Speaker 1: the money actual money coming in and fading them. So
- 9:27Speaker 1: some'th going to keep in mind there. If I was
- 9:29Speaker 1: going to do that, I would not want any part
- 9:31Speaker 1: of Washington's bullpen, though I would limit it to Washington
- 9:34Speaker 1: in the first five innings if I was gonna do that.
- 9:36Speaker 1: But Cincinnati might also be a little bit extra motivated
- 9:39Speaker 1: because they don't want to get embarrassingly swept by a
- 9:42Speaker 1: pretty bad Washington team. Man, So that's a game I'm
- 9:44Speaker 1: going to stay away from. I will give out a
- 9:47Speaker 1: play in the San Diego Miami game, which I'll get
- 9:49Speaker 1: back to in a minute, and hopefully my handicapping is
- 9:53Speaker 1: not wrong on that game. I think my handicapping was
- 9:56Speaker 1: right the other day when I still got the game
- 9:58Speaker 1: wrong with that first five I play that I gave
- 10:00Speaker 1: out of Miami another hit disparity that went our way
- 10:03Speaker 1: where the runs didn't go our way. Yesterday I also
- 10:08Speaker 1: did lean to Miami yesterday. They did win the game yesterday,
- 10:11Speaker 1: San Francisco is at Atlanta. I mean, I do have
- 10:15Speaker 1: to lean to Atlanta in this game. Atlanta won the
- 10:17Speaker 1: first game of the series nine to five, and then
- 10:19Speaker 1: they lost badly nine to nothing yesterday, which not a
- 10:23Speaker 1: good sign when you give up nine runs to a
- 10:25Speaker 1: Giants scene that has not been very capable offensively. But
- 10:29Speaker 1: I mean, what do you expect when you have Davis
- 10:31Speaker 1: Daniel pitching is that his name? I mean didn't look
- 10:34Speaker 1: like it was a good setup for the Braves yesterday,
- 10:36Speaker 1: so in landa route for the Giants. I mean, anything
- 10:38Speaker 1: can happen with that guy on the mound. But now
- 10:41Speaker 1: I think the tide shifts back to Atlanta and this
- 10:43Speaker 1: one man, I mean, I would only look to the
- 10:46Speaker 1: Atlanta side in this game if I was gonna play
- 10:48Speaker 1: this game. Justin Verlanders pitcher for San Francisco. We know
- 10:51Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the Hall of Fame, but he's
- 10:54Speaker 1: just not cutting it anymore, man. And he's forty two
- 10:56Speaker 1: years old. He has shown glimpses of, you know, still
- 10:59Speaker 1: being able to get guys out here, but it just
- 11:01Speaker 1: is not working out. Really. Four point nine to ninety
- 11:04Speaker 1: ra now one point five to one, whip that's not
- 11:06Speaker 1: gonna cut it bad on the road. Five point sixty
- 11:09Speaker 1: seven roadyra San Francisco's lost his last six starts this month.
- 11:15Speaker 1: He's failed to even make four innings and two of
- 11:17Speaker 1: his last three outings here. He's allowed twelve runs and
- 11:20Speaker 1: eleven and two thirds innings this month. That's not a
- 11:23Speaker 1: good sign. Even though the twelves are three strike a
- 11:25Speaker 1: walk ratio looks good, he's given up some hard hits. Man,
- 11:28Speaker 1: He's given up twenty three hits over that span, so
- 11:31Speaker 1: he's been extremely hittable. Even though his command looks okay,
- 11:34Speaker 1: It's like his velocity must not be there anymore. He's
- 11:37Speaker 1: not fooling guys, not throwing it past guys anymore. Not good.
- 11:42Speaker 1: His career numbers are good against Atlanta and seventy seven
- 11:44Speaker 1: at bats twenty five to five strike at walk ratio
- 11:47Speaker 1: too a way to average, allowed five to eighty one ops.
- 11:50Speaker 1: So yes, in the past he's been able to pitch
- 11:53Speaker 1: well against Atlanta, but this year, I mean, it happens
- 11:56Speaker 1: fast with some of these old pitchers. Member, they just
- 11:58Speaker 1: abruptly fall off a cliff, And maybe that's what's going
- 12:01Speaker 1: on with verl anders I would put less weight into
- 12:04Speaker 1: that track record that he has against Atlanta, and I
- 12:07Speaker 1: would be leaning towards the young talented Spencer Strider who's
- 12:11Speaker 1: pitching for the Braves here. He's obviously been the better
- 12:14Speaker 1: of the two pitchers this season three point five to
- 12:16Speaker 1: nine e RA, one point one five whip really good numbers,
- 12:20Speaker 1: a two point seven five ERA at home, so the
- 12:22Speaker 1: splits are in his favor as well. Pitching well this month,
- 12:25Speaker 1: going at least six innings and all three outings. Last
- 12:28Speaker 1: four outings, he's gone at least six and all four
- 12:31Speaker 1: of those a lot three or fewer earned runs in
- 12:33Speaker 1: all of them. This month, he has a twenty five
- 12:36Speaker 1: to seven strike out walk ratios. Even though he is
- 12:38Speaker 1: a little bit wild at times, he does strike out
- 12:42Speaker 1: a ton of guys, so he has a lot of potential. Man.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I mean, he's able to just fool major league hitters,
- 12:48Speaker 1: and he's pretty much dominated the Giants in his career
- 12:51Speaker 1: so far. Fifty at bats, seventeen to six strike out
- 12:54Speaker 1: walk ratio, one sixty batting average allowed, five point ten ops.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Giants do have the better bullpen. They did use more
- 13:00Speaker 1: of their bullpen yesterday. Atlanta is a big favorite here.
- 13:04Speaker 1: They're a big favorite for a reason, man. I mean,
- 13:07Speaker 1: you don't usually see Verlander as a giant underdog like this,
- 13:10Speaker 1: but I think the oddsmakers know his time has come.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Atlanta does have the better offense as well, so I
- 13:16Speaker 1: would lean to Atlanta probably a run line play on
- 13:19Speaker 1: this if you wanted to do it, even though I
- 13:20Speaker 1: know they're at home. That means they're not gonna get
- 13:22Speaker 1: their final at bat, But that is the way that
- 13:25Speaker 1: I'm leaning. The money seems to agree seventy eight percent
- 13:27Speaker 1: of tickets eighty eight percent of the cash on the
- 13:31Speaker 1: Atlanta side. That is the way that I would look
- 13:34Speaker 1: to be leaning in that game. Detroit at Pittsburgh, I'm
- 13:37Speaker 1: gonna give out a play on that game too, So
- 13:38Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump ahead to Anaheim and the Mets. The
- 13:44Speaker 1: Mets have won both games in the series and won
- 13:46Speaker 1: three games in a row. I mean the series has
- 13:48Speaker 1: been fairly close in these two games, but again, the
- 13:51Speaker 1: Mets are looking for a sweet pier, so you do
- 13:53Speaker 1: have to see do they have a look ahead spot.
- 13:55Speaker 1: They are playing San Francisco next. Even though San Francisco
- 13:58Speaker 1: not playing exactly that well recently, they still have a
- 14:00Speaker 1: good record, so it is possible the Mets gonna be
- 14:03Speaker 1: looking ahead a little bit to San Francisco here. The
- 14:06Speaker 1: Mets did use a lot of their bullpen yesterday, so
- 14:08Speaker 1: even though Anaheim has a terrible bullpend, the Mets bullpen
- 14:13Speaker 1: is not bad, but they are kind of used after
- 14:15Speaker 1: yesterday because again they've had to win some close games
- 14:18Speaker 1: in the series. So the bullpen usage not great for
- 14:21Speaker 1: the Mets. But all that being said, it looks like
- 14:24Speaker 1: Anaheim is going with a bullpen game here because Brock
- 14:27Speaker 1: Burke is their listed starter three point three eighty RA
- 14:30Speaker 1: one point three to five WHIP. He's been worse on
- 14:33Speaker 1: the road three point eight six e RA. But I
- 14:35Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be in this game for more
- 14:37Speaker 1: than about an inning, maybe a little bit over an
- 14:39Speaker 1: inning at most, because he he's been a relief pitcher man,
- 14:43Speaker 1: so I mean, he's gonna be an opener today. So
- 14:44Speaker 1: it's gonna be a bullpen game for Anaheim. And we
- 14:47Speaker 1: know how bad Anaheim's bullpen is, so I don't know
- 14:49Speaker 1: if that's what we want here Anaheim. I look at
- 14:52Speaker 1: their bullpend here, I mean they are here. They are
- 14:54Speaker 1: twenty seventh in a whip bullpen whip and their ERA
- 14:58Speaker 1: is I believe third worst is right with an ERA
- 15:01Speaker 1: over five. So this is a terrible bullpen. So is
- 15:03Speaker 1: that really what you want to deal with for an
- 15:06Speaker 1: entire game? Probably not if you're Anaheim. Probably not good.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Sean Mania is gonna be pitching for the Mets. He
- 15:12Speaker 1: just came back two starts going. He's been pretty good
- 15:14Speaker 1: so far. Two point four or five ERA one point
- 15:17Speaker 1: zero nine whip. I mean, I'm not a fan of
- 15:19Speaker 1: his hair, though, I mean, what the fuck is this?
- 15:21Speaker 1: He's looking like fucking Eraserhead here with his hair. What
- 15:24Speaker 1: is up with that? Man? Maniah might want to do
- 15:27Speaker 1: something about that, bro. He's been good both home and away,
- 15:30Speaker 1: but again it's only two starts so far, where they're
- 15:33Speaker 1: still kind of ramping them up. Man, he hasn't got
- 15:35Speaker 1: a full starter's workload yet. He's gone four or fewer
- 15:38Speaker 1: innings of both outings so far. The Mets lost both
- 15:41Speaker 1: of them, but it wasn't his fault. He had a
- 15:43Speaker 1: thirteen to two strike out walk Racio on seven and
- 15:45Speaker 1: a third innings, which is pretty good. Very high strikeout
- 15:48Speaker 1: rate so far from Manaia, So it does look like
- 15:52Speaker 1: his stuff is there. It's just a matter of how
- 15:54Speaker 1: deep is he going to go into this game. We
- 15:56Speaker 1: don't really know, And his numbers against Anaheim are actually
- 15:58Speaker 1: not that good. In fifty six at back thirteen to
- 16:01Speaker 1: seven strike a walk ratio, Mike Trout has done a
- 16:03Speaker 1: lot of damage though three of the four home runs
- 16:06Speaker 1: Anaheim has against him or Mike Trout nine for twenty one,
- 16:09Speaker 1: also has four walks off. But overall he's a lot
- 16:11Speaker 1: of three twenty one average to Anaheim nine to eighty
- 16:14Speaker 1: six ops. So I don't know if we could totally
- 16:17Speaker 1: trust Manaia either, even though he does look good. He
- 16:20Speaker 1: is in good form here, but if he's not gonna
- 16:22Speaker 1: be totally ramped up in this game. And it looks
- 16:24Speaker 1: like the money's coming in against the Mets. They have
- 16:26Speaker 1: sixty eight percent of ticket sixty three percent of the cash.
- 16:29Speaker 1: They're down for minus one eighty three to minus one
- 16:32Speaker 1: seventy one here on the big money line here, And
- 16:35Speaker 1: if that's the case, I think I'd be looking towards
- 16:38Speaker 1: an over in this game. Man. I mean, I don't
- 16:40Speaker 1: think the Mets are gonna have difficulty putting up runs
- 16:42Speaker 1: against an Anaheim bope end game. But if you think
- 16:44Speaker 1: Minia is not gonna last that long in this game.
- 16:46Speaker 1: His numbers aren't good against Anaheim and the Mets bopend
- 16:49Speaker 1: is not resting, and they're coming into this game after that.
- 16:52Speaker 1: We could see some runs in this game. Total is
- 16:55Speaker 1: going up. Sitting at eight and a half with juice
- 16:58Speaker 1: to the over, he's headed to it's nine. It looks
- 17:00Speaker 1: like here eighty eight percent and tickets ninety seven percent
- 17:03Speaker 1: of the cash on the over. Public will be on
- 17:05Speaker 1: the over in a game like this if they're playing it,
- 17:07Speaker 1: but they're as obviously they're not always wrong, and it's
- 17:10Speaker 1: probably not like I have an extremely heavy public play
- 17:14Speaker 1: as far as the number of bets are concerned. So
- 17:15Speaker 1: I'd be looking at do an over in this game,
- 17:18Speaker 1: or even maybe the Mets just team total over to
- 17:21Speaker 1: just you know, get to Anaheim's bad bullpen and bullpend game.
- 17:25Speaker 1: There probably the way to look in that game. Kansas
- 17:29Speaker 1: City against Chicago. You know what, Let me look at
- 17:33Speaker 1: this game real quickly, because I was looking towards maybe
- 17:35Speaker 1: a play on Kansas City in this game. Hold on,
- 17:39Speaker 1: am I gonna add yet another play here? Do I
- 17:41Speaker 1: have this many plays today? Let me see? I don't
- 17:43Speaker 1: want to have five plays today, do I? But maybe
- 17:46Speaker 1: I am. Maybe I'm just gonna do it. Man, let
- 17:49Speaker 1: me see, what's what does the market read look like
- 17:51Speaker 1: on this? We have the Cubs, I mean, it's close,
- 17:58Speaker 1: you know what. I think I'm gonna stay off of it,
- 17:59Speaker 1: but we do the Cubs up for minus one forty
- 18:01Speaker 1: three to minus one forty four, seventy five percent of
- 18:04Speaker 1: tickets eighty seven percent of the ash coming in of
- 18:05Speaker 1: the Cubs. I'm leaning against the Cubs though, as I
- 18:08Speaker 1: just kind of implied. The Cubs got drilled in the
- 18:12Speaker 1: first game of the series, which I kind of thought
- 18:14Speaker 1: that they would lose that game, but not twelve to four.
- 18:17Speaker 1: But the Cubs went with a bullpen game up against
- 18:19Speaker 1: the very good young pitcher Noah Cameron, so it wasn't
- 18:22Speaker 1: that surprising. Cubs turned around and shut out the Royals yesterday,
- 18:26Speaker 1: which was probably also kind of expected. With Boyd pitching
- 18:29Speaker 1: for Chicago yesterday, he was really good. Now you have
- 18:32Speaker 1: the clinching game of this series here, I believe the
- 18:35Speaker 1: deciding game seth Lugo's on the mound for Kansas City
- 18:39Speaker 1: and he's having a good season. I know the advanced
- 18:42Speaker 1: analytics guys don't like Seth Lugo. But I look at
- 18:44Speaker 1: his numbers and I'm like, he's doing this like over
- 18:47Speaker 1: the course of multiple seasons, man, and I don't have
- 18:49Speaker 1: a beef with any of these numbers. Two point nine
- 18:52Speaker 1: to four ERA, one point zero nine Whip. He's pitching well,
- 18:56Speaker 1: a little bit worse on the road, three point four
- 18:58Speaker 1: to nine Roady Ira Again. I mean, he's looked pretty good.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Kids of City's won four of his last six starts,
- 19:05Speaker 1: even though Kids of City basically provides you no run support,
- 19:09Speaker 1: So some of that is the fact that he's pitching
- 19:12Speaker 1: well over his last how many starts is this going?
- 19:15Speaker 1: All the way back through the beginning of June. He's
- 19:17Speaker 1: allowed more than two ornred runs only once, which was
- 19:20Speaker 1: his last outing, and I think he just wasn't ready
- 19:23Speaker 1: to start that game. But he still went six innings,
- 19:25Speaker 1: five strikeouts, no walks. He just gave up five runs
- 19:28Speaker 1: to Miami. I think he got a little bit unlucky
- 19:30Speaker 1: as well, giving up two home runs. The home run
- 19:33Speaker 1: ball has been an issue this month. He's given up
- 19:36Speaker 1: five home runs this month. It's been kind of an
- 19:39Speaker 1: issue throughout the season as well, so that's kind of
- 19:42Speaker 1: the one issue with Lugo, but he keeps runners off
- 19:44Speaker 1: the base pass man. He has a seventeen to three
- 19:46Speaker 1: strikeout walk race YO this month, so his command is there,
- 19:50Speaker 1: So I think Lugo. I mean, he's still pitching pretty well, man,
- 19:54Speaker 1: So I don't mind Lugo at all. And his numbers
- 19:56Speaker 1: are good against the Cbs, even though they're a good
- 19:58Speaker 1: offense career at bats against him a two thirty eight average,
- 20:02Speaker 1: allowed six fifty four ohps eleven to three strike out
- 20:06Speaker 1: walk ratio. So I'm kind of liking Lugo here, man,
- 20:08Speaker 1: And you know me, if you watch my show, I
- 20:11Speaker 1: don't really believe in Colin Ray at all. His ERA
- 20:14Speaker 1: is good for the Cubs three point eight one point
- 20:16Speaker 1: two eight whip not awful, but I still don't really
- 20:20Speaker 1: trust him. He's slightly worse at home three point nine
- 20:22Speaker 1: to two ERA. And yes, I know, he hasn't been
- 20:25Speaker 1: giving up a whole lot of runs and the Cubs
- 20:26Speaker 1: have won. What is that seven of his last eight
- 20:29Speaker 1: starts the Cubs have won. His command was decent in June,
- 20:33Speaker 1: but coming into July, even though he's allowed one run
- 20:35Speaker 1: apiece in three outings, he's got at least five innings
- 20:38Speaker 1: and all three starts. That's good, but his walk rate
- 20:40Speaker 1: has not been good. He has a fourteen to eight
- 20:42Speaker 1: strike out walk ratio this month. Even though he hasn't
- 20:44Speaker 1: allowed a lot of hits, he's putting a lot of
- 20:47Speaker 1: guys on base via the free pass. So I still
- 20:49Speaker 1: don't really trust Ray. Even though he's not giving up
- 20:52Speaker 1: that many runs in these recent starts, I still don't
- 20:55Speaker 1: believe in him. Man, I'm sorry. Even though the Royals
- 20:57Speaker 1: do suck offensively, they've been okay against Ray in forty
- 21:03Speaker 1: four at best. He does have a ten to one
- 21:04Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio, which is good. Royals have a
- 21:07Speaker 1: two point fifty average against him, which isn't that good,
- 21:09Speaker 1: But you do have a seven to twenty one. Ohps
- 21:11Speaker 1: Perez in India do at least have a home run
- 21:14Speaker 1: off him, and Wit has hit him pretty well as well. Pasquentino,
- 21:17Speaker 1: some of those guys have hit him all right. So overall,
- 21:22Speaker 1: both bullpens I think are in similar rest shape as well,
- 21:25Speaker 1: by the way, and both bullpens are decent, so I
- 21:28Speaker 1: think the bullpen situation is a little bit of a wash. Obviously, Chicago,
- 21:32Speaker 1: the Cubs have the way better offense. Obviously, there's no
- 21:34Speaker 1: question about that. You're looking at basically the one of
- 21:38Speaker 1: the best offenses against one of the worst. So one
- 21:41Speaker 1: of the biggest offensive disparities you'll see. But I would
- 21:44Speaker 1: lean to Kansas City Man as the underdog in that one.
- 21:47Speaker 1: It's not gonna quite make my card, but that is
- 21:49Speaker 1: a that is a lean for me, and that's one
- 21:52Speaker 1: that is close to making my card. That one in
- 21:55Speaker 1: the Braves. I do like those. Zach, what's up man
- 21:58Speaker 1: talking about your Royals? Yeah, the Royals can't hit obviously.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Rich hill I mean, pretty impressive man. For a forty
- 22:06Speaker 1: five year old doing that against a really good Cubs offense.
- 22:09Speaker 1: I did not expect him to go five innings. I mean,
- 22:11Speaker 1: he wasn't terrific, But again, for a guy who's that old,
- 22:15Speaker 1: I mean, that is pretty impressive. I mean, you want
- 22:17Speaker 1: to me to talk about Rich hill I like Rich
- 22:19Speaker 1: hill Man. I mean he was on the Red Sox
- 22:21Speaker 1: for a while. I always kind of liked him. Yeah,
- 22:23Speaker 1: he went five innings. He allowed three runs, but only
- 22:25Speaker 1: one of them was earned. He only had one strike
- 22:28Speaker 1: on the two walks, which isn't that impressive really, I mean,
- 22:30Speaker 1: he's not striking guys out anymore, but that's not exactly
- 22:33Speaker 1: his thing anyway though, So still pretty impressive that he
- 22:36Speaker 1: did that and through ninety pitches. Man, as a forty
- 22:39Speaker 1: five year old, that's I thought he was gonna throw
- 22:41Speaker 1: like fifty pitches in the game. Man, I thought he
- 22:43Speaker 1: was gonna go like maybe three innings. So it was
- 22:46Speaker 1: crazy to see him do that. So congratulations to rich Hill,
- 22:49Speaker 1: man oldest player in Major League Baseball who's active right now.
- 22:54Speaker 1: And one crazy stat is that, well, I saw a
- 22:57Speaker 1: few crazy stats. One is that rich Hill is closer
- 23:01Speaker 1: in age to Kansas City's manager than he is to
- 23:03Speaker 1: any of his teammates. His manager is seven years older
- 23:08Speaker 1: than him, and I think there's a nine year gap
- 23:10Speaker 1: between him and Seth Lugos, the oldest Kansas City Royal
- 23:15Speaker 1: player besides him, and Lugo's pitching today, so the two
- 23:18Speaker 1: old men are pitching. And then another crazy stat is
- 23:22Speaker 1: that rich Hill there's a potential that maybe he winds
- 23:26Speaker 1: up having a pitch against d Da Fuentes, who's the
- 23:29Speaker 1: young starter on the Atlanta Braves. He's the youngest starter
- 23:32Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball, I believe right now. Rich Hill
- 23:37Speaker 1: began his major league career. He made his major league
- 23:40Speaker 1: debut I believe two days before D. DA Fuentees was born.
- 23:45Speaker 1: So Rich Hill has been in the major since before D. D.
- 23:51Speaker 1: Fuent Does was born. It's crazy, man. I mean there's
- 23:55Speaker 1: a similar stat that you could say the same thing
- 23:57Speaker 1: about Ovechkin against Connor Bdard Man got in a fight
- 24:00Speaker 1: this year. Ovechkin in hockey, he was in the NHL
- 24:04Speaker 1: before Benard was born as well, so that it's all
- 24:07Speaker 1: this crazy stuff. Man. It's more likely to happen in hockey, though,
- 24:12Speaker 1: I think, because you get super young guys coming up
- 24:14Speaker 1: in hockey sometimes and guys play for foreverend hockey, which
- 24:17Speaker 1: is crazy. It's a man's sport, man, as physical as
- 24:20Speaker 1: it is. These guys play well into their forties in
- 24:22Speaker 1: hockey more often than I think they do in other sports.
- 24:25Speaker 1: So though you do see pictures do that for whatever
- 24:28Speaker 1: reason in baseball, even though you think their arm would
- 24:31Speaker 1: get totally blown out at that point. But sometimes it's
- 24:34Speaker 1: guys like rich Hill. It's guys like rich Hill, though,
- 24:36Speaker 1: don't like throw that hard really throughout their career. So
- 24:39Speaker 1: you know, Saint Louis at Colorado and what the hell
- 24:42Speaker 1: do we want to do with this game. I mean
- 24:45Speaker 1: probably an over in this game. I mean it landed
- 24:48Speaker 1: right on twelve yesterday. I don't really trust either bullpen,
- 24:52Speaker 1: and I don't trust either starting pitcher here, even though
- 24:55Speaker 1: we don't even know who the starting pitcher is for Colorado.
- 24:57Speaker 1: But I don't like Andre Pialante's gonna be you for
- 25:00Speaker 1: the Cardinals here. Four point seven to one ERA, one
- 25:03Speaker 1: point three four whip not good, a little bit better
- 25:06Speaker 1: on the road, four point four to five the IRA,
- 25:08Speaker 1: But he's pitching a corpse field here. And he's been
- 25:11Speaker 1: really bad over his last two starts, allowing twelve earned
- 25:14Speaker 1: runs over a span of ten and two thirds innings,
- 25:16Speaker 1: seventeen hits all out over that span, four strikeouts to
- 25:20Speaker 1: three walks. That's not going to cut it. Obviously, he's
- 25:23Speaker 1: not getting the job done. Saint Louis has lost his
- 25:26Speaker 1: last four starts as well. Up against Colorado. He actually
- 25:29Speaker 1: probably does have good numbers, because they suck offensively. No,
- 25:32Speaker 1: he doesn't twenty five at bats. I forget, man, because
- 25:34Speaker 1: I look at this when I do the handicapping, But
- 25:37Speaker 1: then I just kind of forget because I can't memorize
- 25:39Speaker 1: everything that quickly. But in twenty five at bats, Polante
- 25:42Speaker 1: has allowed a two eighty batting average and seven ninety
- 25:45Speaker 1: seven ops to Colorado. So that's not great either. In Colorado. Again,
- 25:50Speaker 1: we don't even know who their starter or is going
- 25:52Speaker 1: to be, so it'll be a spot start where a
- 25:54Speaker 1: bullpen game, or actually maybe they announced it. Oh it's
- 25:56Speaker 1: Tanner Gordon. It's been announced Tanner Gordon is going to
- 25:59Speaker 1: be starter. So I guess we can go look at
- 26:02Speaker 1: him real quickly here, assuming he's on there a roster
- 26:06Speaker 1: here on ESPN. Tanner Gordon, where are you? Man? Nope?
- 26:10Speaker 1: I think they just brought him back up. God damn it, man,
- 26:13Speaker 1: Uh yeah, these are all the pitchers right, depth chart?
- 26:16Speaker 1: Do we have him on the depth chart? Let me
- 26:18Speaker 1: see he might be on the depth chart? Actually Nope,
- 26:22Speaker 1: apparently not. Let's find him, man, stupid ESPN. All right,
- 26:27Speaker 1: there he is Tanner Gordon. What do we got? Four
- 26:29Speaker 1: point two four era not bad by Colorado Rocky standards,
- 26:33Speaker 1: one point three to five whip. He has pitched a
- 26:37Speaker 1: little bit this year four point three eighty I ran
- 26:39Speaker 1: home hasn't been I mean he doesn't have a huge
- 26:42Speaker 1: sample size to look at here. Really, he has a
- 26:44Speaker 1: ten to three strikeout walk ratio, which isn't really that bad.
- 26:47Speaker 1: Not really a strikeout guy. He's not really walking a
- 26:50Speaker 1: lot of guys though, but he does allow some hard hits.
- 26:52Speaker 1: He's allowed a couple of home runs twenty hits at
- 26:54Speaker 1: seventeen innings. But he did face Detroit, the Yankees, and
- 26:57Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs, so he's faced three really tough lineup so far.
- 27:01Speaker 1: So I guess really not that bad all things considering.
- 27:06Speaker 1: I mean, I'm surprised that he was down in the miners, Like,
- 27:09Speaker 1: why would you have this guy in the miners when
- 27:11Speaker 1: he's better than basically all of your other starters. I mean,
- 27:14Speaker 1: Colorado starters are that bad. And Cardinals actually have never
- 27:17Speaker 1: seen Gordon before, so I'm actually less tempted to want
- 27:20Speaker 1: to play an over here at the total. Now flipping
- 27:23Speaker 1: from eleven juice to the over, to eleven juice to
- 27:25Speaker 1: the under, I could potentially actually see taking a shot
- 27:30Speaker 1: with Colorado on the run line here. Man, I actually
- 27:33Speaker 1: think Gordon because he's unfamiliar to Saint Louis, which if
- 27:35Speaker 1: you have a young pitcher who's decent, they can tend
- 27:39Speaker 1: to fool those opposing hitters a little bit Saint Louis
- 27:41Speaker 1: is down for minus one nine to one seventy seven.
- 27:44Speaker 1: I really don't think with Polante on the mound, Saint Louis,
- 27:47Speaker 1: I don't think they should really be that heavy a
- 27:48Speaker 1: favorite on the road. And it's anybody, even a historically
- 27:51Speaker 1: bad Rockies team. Eighty two percent of tickets, only sixty
- 27:55Speaker 1: seven percent of the cash, So the public is on
- 27:57Speaker 1: Saint Louis and the money looks like it's fading that sentiments.
- 28:00Speaker 1: So I actually I am thinking now maybe the better
- 28:03Speaker 1: way to look at that is Colorado on the run
- 28:05Speaker 1: line and just take them to come within one run
- 28:08Speaker 1: in that game. I mean, they certainly would have the
- 28:10Speaker 1: ability to do that. Houston at Arizona, I mean this
- 28:15Speaker 1: is a the Let's go Brandon matchup, the Battle of
- 28:18Speaker 1: the Brandons. Arizona has lost both games in the series
- 28:23Speaker 1: so far. I went against the market read yesterday and
- 28:26Speaker 1: that one. I didn't give it out as a play,
- 28:27Speaker 1: but I said that I leaned to Houston in that
- 28:30Speaker 1: game yesterday and wound up being correct. Houston continues to
- 28:34Speaker 1: win with fromber Valdez on the mound. Houston has the
- 28:38Speaker 1: better bullpen. I mean both bullpens saw a little bit
- 28:40Speaker 1: of usage yesterday, but Arizona's bullpen is horrific, So Houston
- 28:44Speaker 1: does have the better bullpen, and Houston I think has
- 28:47Speaker 1: the better Brandon of the two as well. Brandon Walter
- 28:50Speaker 1: actually has been quite impressive this year three point six
- 28:53Speaker 1: six ERA, point nine to six whip. He's been worse
- 28:56Speaker 1: on the road though, four point eight to two Roady Ira,
- 28:59Speaker 1: and he's pitching against a good lineup in a hitter
- 29:01Speaker 1: friendly ballpark, so all things to keep in mind. Houston
- 29:05Speaker 1: has actually lost three his last three starts, all of
- 29:08Speaker 1: his starts this month, even though he's been pretty good
- 29:10Speaker 1: in two of them. His last two starts he allowed
- 29:13Speaker 1: two to one ear in run against Cleveland and Seattle
- 29:16Speaker 1: had fourteen strikeouts in one walk seventeen to one strike
- 29:20Speaker 1: out walk race here this month, twenty five to one
- 29:23Speaker 1: last month. So he's a guy that has just an
- 29:25Speaker 1: absurd strikeout walk ratio forty seven to three. On the season. Man,
- 29:29Speaker 1: his only problem has been he allows way too many
- 29:32Speaker 1: home runs. I mean, that's his problem. He's allowed a
- 29:34Speaker 1: home run in every start going all the way back
- 29:36Speaker 1: to the start of June, which he's got to keep
- 29:39Speaker 1: the ball in the park Man. That's the one issue
- 29:41Speaker 1: with him because the rest of his numbers are actually
- 29:44Speaker 1: really really good and Arizona's never seen him before. But
- 29:47Speaker 1: this is a home run conducive park, so he is
- 29:49Speaker 1: probably going to allow a home run in this game.
- 29:52Speaker 1: But will he be able to keep Arizona's offense down otherwise? Maybe,
- 29:56Speaker 1: because again, he is a good pitcher the ability to
- 29:59Speaker 1: fool major league hitters with really good command, So I
- 30:02Speaker 1: think he does have the ability to do that in
- 30:04Speaker 1: a lineup that hasn't seen him before, might be at
- 30:06Speaker 1: a disadvantage again, so I don't mind Walter here. Brandon Fott.
- 30:10Speaker 1: I mean, he's the guy that's less of a mystery obviously,
- 30:13Speaker 1: but he's still kind of a mystery, and that he's pitched.
- 30:16Speaker 1: He's just really underperformed this year based on what he's
- 30:19Speaker 1: done otherwise in his career. He has a four point
- 30:22Speaker 1: eight two ERA this year. His whip is getting a
- 30:25Speaker 1: little bit better one point two six. His numbers are
- 30:27Speaker 1: getting better. He's been better at home three point seven
- 30:30Speaker 1: to one ERA at home, and he has been good recently.
- 30:33Speaker 1: This month. He has an eighteen to two strike out
- 30:35Speaker 1: walk ratio two point five to seven ERA. He's gone
- 30:38Speaker 1: at least six innings in all three starts. Last two
- 30:41Speaker 1: starts he didn't walk anybody, and he only allowed eight
- 30:44Speaker 1: hits in the last fifteen innings, only allowed two runs
- 30:47Speaker 1: over that span with ten strikeouts and no walk. So
- 30:50Speaker 1: he's been pretty good recently, but small sample sized Houston
- 30:53Speaker 1: has actually destroyed him. In twelve at bats. He's a
- 30:57Speaker 1: lot of five eighty three batting average to them in
- 30:59Speaker 1: a thousand and three to ninety three oh ps two
- 31:02Speaker 1: to two strike a walk ratio, So Houston's not that
- 31:05Speaker 1: familiar with them. When they have seen them, they've lit
- 31:07Speaker 1: them up. So I mean, does that mean I'm slightly
- 31:10Speaker 1: leaning to Houston to Am I slightly leaning to Houston
- 31:15Speaker 1: here to win to a sweep Arizona. Sorry, I'm distracted.
- 31:19Speaker 1: I'm looking at the market read here. You know what
- 31:21Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I'm not gonna give out either run
- 31:24Speaker 1: line play man. I'm gonna limit myself to two plays today.
- 31:26Speaker 1: I'm gonna be more selective here, so I will talk
- 31:29Speaker 1: about those two games as well. I apologize for that.
- 31:31Speaker 1: I'm looking at the market reads now and I'm like, yeah,
- 31:34Speaker 1: I don't think I want to do it. Sometimes I'm
- 31:37Speaker 1: waiting for like a market read on some of these
- 31:39Speaker 1: to figure out, like what do I actually want to
- 31:41Speaker 1: do in some of these games here? So I am
- 31:43Speaker 1: gonna still go with the other two plays though I
- 31:45Speaker 1: think today I think they do what makes sense, although
- 31:48Speaker 1: when we get to them, I will let you know.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Hopefully I don't wind up with just one play today.
- 31:53Speaker 1: I mean that would be really really crazy. Okay, So
- 31:56Speaker 1: let's yeah, I think it's still gonna be the two.
- 31:58Speaker 1: So what am I? Oh? Yeah, Mark cold read Here
- 32:00Speaker 1: on this Brandon game, the market is saying Arizona. They're
- 32:04Speaker 1: offer minus one fifteen to minus one nineteen fifty four
- 32:07Speaker 1: percent of ticket seventy one percent of the cash coming
- 32:09Speaker 1: in on Arizona. So the money seems to like Arizona
- 32:13Speaker 1: in this case. Think they're gonna come out with fire
- 32:15Speaker 1: avoid the sweep. I'm not so sure, man. I mean,
- 32:18Speaker 1: Houston's offense isn't that much worse than Arizona's. Houston does
- 32:21Speaker 1: have the better bullpen, and I think they have the
- 32:23Speaker 1: better of the two Brandons here, so I would slightly
- 32:26Speaker 1: disagree with that. Again, yesterday, the market reeve was on
- 32:29Speaker 1: Arizona too, and I didn't really agree with it, So
- 32:32Speaker 1: I'm still gonna kind of disagree with that in this game.
- 32:35Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean that's just the way that I
- 32:37Speaker 1: look at it. All right, let's skip back to those games.
- 32:39Speaker 1: I was gonna give out a play San Diego Miami.
- 32:42Speaker 1: I was gonna give out the San Diego run line,
- 32:44Speaker 1: but the total is really low in this one, and
- 32:46Speaker 1: now I'm just gonna kind of avoid it unless I
- 32:48Speaker 1: want to give on a money line play. But I
- 32:50Speaker 1: don't think I want to do that either. So I
- 32:51Speaker 1: lean to San Diego in this game, but I think
- 32:54Speaker 1: I don't quite want to do it, because again, san
- 32:55Speaker 1: Diego is a public side. You do have to lay
- 32:58Speaker 1: a price on the road. But I think I like
- 33:00Speaker 1: San Diego in this Gamian. First of all, they have
- 33:02Speaker 1: the better bullpen over Miami. I mean, San Diego is
- 33:05Speaker 1: a significantly better bullpen than Miami. That is one of
- 33:08Speaker 1: their big advantages. Offensively, I think these two teams are
- 33:11Speaker 1: actually fairly close because San Diego's offense is really kind
- 33:14Speaker 1: of fallen off and Miami's isn't that bad, So I
- 33:20Speaker 1: would still give San Diego. I think their hitting stats
- 33:22Speaker 1: are actually really bad, Like if you look at their
- 33:24Speaker 1: numbers here. San Diego's twenty third in OPS, so that's
- 33:28Speaker 1: not a great sign, and Miami's actually eighteenth, so Miami
- 33:31Speaker 1: actually has a better OPS and a better batting average.
- 33:35Speaker 1: So the stats say Miami actually has a better offense
- 33:39Speaker 1: across their entire team, which is crazy to think about
- 33:41Speaker 1: because I think talent wise, I think you have to
- 33:43Speaker 1: give the offensive edge slightly to San Diego. But I
- 33:46Speaker 1: still like San Diego and I still think they have
- 33:48Speaker 1: the starting pitching edge with Dylan Ceese, even though he's
- 33:51Speaker 1: been not as good at all this year. He was
- 33:54Speaker 1: way better last year. Last year he was really good.
- 33:56Speaker 1: This year not so much. Four point six four ERA
- 33:59Speaker 1: one three whip and he's been pretty bad on the
- 34:02Speaker 1: road five point six' Eight Roady, ram so he's really
- 34:05Speaker 1: struggled away From San. Diego but he does still have
- 34:08Speaker 1: his strikeout stuff, Man and this, month even though he's
- 34:11Speaker 1: a bad five point one to ninety ram a twenty
- 34:14Speaker 1: two to three strike out walk ratio is pretty. Impressive.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Man the problem has really been the home. Runs he's
- 34:19Speaker 1: allowed five home runs this, month and without that he
- 34:22Speaker 1: wouldn't have allowed as many runs, obviously so that's been the.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Issue his command has been. There his strikeout rates been
- 34:27Speaker 1: high last time. Out he didn't give up any, runs
- 34:29Speaker 1: although he was inefficient with his, pitches and he only
- 34:31Speaker 1: went five and a third but shut Out washington with ten,
- 34:34Speaker 1: strikeouts no, walks four hits allowed in five and a,
- 34:37Speaker 1: third so not. Bad SO i don't think he's in
- 34:39Speaker 1: the worst form, Really and he does have good numbers
- 34:41Speaker 1: Against miami small sample, size but eighteen at bats five
- 34:45Speaker 1: to one strike out walk, ratios zero extra base hits,
- 34:48Speaker 1: allowed one sixty seven average and three seventy seven ops
- 34:52Speaker 1: so cease has ceased The miami bats from hitting at,
- 34:57Speaker 1: least and he's up Against sandy Al, contra who he's
- 35:01Speaker 1: been one of the guys mentioned as a trade target
- 35:03Speaker 1: for The Red, sox AND i just don't know why
- 35:05Speaker 1: they would do, that. MAN i, mean his days of
- 35:07Speaker 1: being a cy young candidate are completely. Gone he's had multiple,
- 35:11Speaker 1: injuries multiple, surgeries and he's shown no signs of being
- 35:14Speaker 1: able to get his stuff, back even though it looks
- 35:16Speaker 1: like his velocity isn't down that much at this. Point
- 35:19Speaker 1: but he's just not fooling. Hitters these hitters can hit, fastballs,
- 35:23Speaker 1: man so velocity isn't the only, thing even though it
- 35:26Speaker 1: is one thing that you want to look, at because
- 35:28Speaker 1: you do want a guy that's that has velocity that's
- 35:30Speaker 1: good enough to blow a fastball by an opposing, hitter you,
- 35:34Speaker 1: know throwing up and in and. Whatever but major league
- 35:37Speaker 1: hitters they can definitely hit the, fastball and they concentrate
- 35:39Speaker 1: on that more, Now so you do need to have
- 35:41Speaker 1: good off speed. Stuff his stuff just hasn't been, working.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Man his numbers are. Terrible seven point one FOUR, era
- 35:47Speaker 1: one point four to NINE. Whip he has been better
- 35:49Speaker 1: at home at, least but still five point three seven
- 35:52Speaker 1: E ra doesn't inspire much. Confidence this, month he has
- 35:55Speaker 1: a seven point nine to FOUR. Era he's allowed four
- 35:58Speaker 1: or more on runs of four straight, starts a ten
- 36:01Speaker 1: to five strike out walk ratio this. Month, again that's
- 36:04Speaker 1: not gonna cut. It that's not getting the job. Done.
- 36:06Speaker 1: Man he's allowing a lot of, hits just way too.
- 36:10Speaker 1: HITTABLE i don't see what there is to really like
- 36:12Speaker 1: About alcontra for The Red sox trade, purposes or for
- 36:15Speaker 1: this game for that, matter for that. Matter and he
- 36:18Speaker 1: might have that. Trade the trade rumors might be in
- 36:21Speaker 1: his head, too, man so it might be a little
- 36:22Speaker 1: bit of a distraction where they're talking about him potentially getting.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Traded but then, again it might actually make him want
- 36:29Speaker 1: to pitch better because he's, thinking, oh, well if a
- 36:31Speaker 1: team wants to target me in a, trade LIKE i
- 36:34Speaker 1: want to get out Of miami because they're not going
- 36:36Speaker 1: anywhere this, year so MAYBE i should pitch better and
- 36:39Speaker 1: impress you, know these other, teams LIKE i want to
- 36:42Speaker 1: play for, contender you know WHAT i, mean that type of.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Thing SO i could see that going both ways as
- 36:46Speaker 1: far as his mental. State but the REASON i like
- 36:48Speaker 1: San diego, HERE i, mean his numbers are just really
- 36:50Speaker 1: bad Against San diego in sixty eight career at bats
- 36:53Speaker 1: ten to eight strike out walk. Ratio that's not. Good
- 36:55Speaker 1: three thirty eight average allowed not, good eight fifty eight
- 36:59Speaker 1: ohps not. Good So San diego has hit him really.
- 37:02Speaker 1: WELL I machado seven for Twelve Offen bogarts five for
- 37:06Speaker 1: eleven with a home. Run, hey why why Wouldn't why
- 37:10Speaker 1: can't The Red sox get somebody Like bogarts? Man let
- 37:12Speaker 1: me come? On so, anyway, Yeah San, diego they're. Hitters
- 37:16Speaker 1: if you want some player, PROPS i, mean you could
- 37:17Speaker 1: maybe look towards those two, guys BUT i do not
- 37:20Speaker 1: Like miami in this. Game, man but the market read
- 37:22Speaker 1: looks like it's well, now it looks like it's on and,
- 37:25Speaker 1: again SHOULD i SHOULD i still do? This let's look
- 37:27Speaker 1: at what the best way to play this. Is Maybe
- 37:29Speaker 1: i'll give out an early. Play i'm all over the
- 37:31Speaker 1: place with my mental state right. NOW i, apologize, man
- 37:34Speaker 1: BUT i do like San diego in this game for
- 37:35Speaker 1: the most. Part let me, Look i'm looking at an
- 37:38Speaker 1: action network here real, quick BECAUSE i want to see
- 37:40Speaker 1: what the lines are on. This this is me handicapping
- 37:43Speaker 1: in real. Time. MAN i have to pay minus one
- 37:45Speaker 1: fifty to get them on The, yeah we'll play them
- 37:49Speaker 1: on the run. Line you know, What fuck, it let's
- 37:52Speaker 1: go San diego run line here on this. One that'll
- 37:56Speaker 1: be a play for. Me it'll be, uh San diego
- 38:00Speaker 1: minus one and a half at plus one point, FIFTEEN
- 38:03Speaker 1: i think is what you can get on. This SO i,
- 38:04Speaker 1: Apologize i'm typing it in. There it. Is fuck, it
- 38:07Speaker 1: let's do. It the money looks like it's coming in that.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Way seventy percent, tickets eighty nine percent of the, cash
- 38:13Speaker 1: rough of minus one thirty eight to minus one forty.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Three So i'll give you an early play on the
- 38:18Speaker 1: show on that, one and then the other play THAT
- 38:22Speaker 1: i wanted Is i'm gonna stay away from the other
- 38:25Speaker 1: one just because the market. Read BUT i Like detroit
- 38:27Speaker 1: Against pittsburgh for. ONCE i KNOW i Liked pittsburgh in
- 38:30Speaker 1: the other two. GAMES i gave Out pittsburgh in the
- 38:32Speaker 1: skiings game in the first game of the, series and
- 38:35Speaker 1: Then Mitch keller pitched well for them yesterday, Too SO
- 38:37Speaker 1: i should have given out another play In pittsburgh yesterday Because.
- 38:40Speaker 1: PITTSBURGH i was right about both of those. Games pittsburgh
- 38:43Speaker 1: is now on the version of Sweeping. Detroit BUT i
- 38:46Speaker 1: think this might finally be a situation Where detroit comes
- 38:48Speaker 1: out and they actually are able to win and avoid
- 38:51Speaker 1: the sweep here, man even THOUGH i Know pittsburgh is
- 38:53Speaker 1: at least a little bit better at, Home detroit is
- 38:55Speaker 1: not as good on the. Road But detroit is still
- 38:57Speaker 1: the better of these two. Teams they have the better
- 39:00Speaker 1: bullpen and the better, OFFENSE i would, say or Actually.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Pittsburgh maybe not Actually, PITTSBURGH i did mention had a
- 39:06Speaker 1: slightly better bullpen Than detroit coming into this. Series ALTHOUGH
- 39:09Speaker 1: i think it is. CLOSE i Think detroit has more
- 39:11Speaker 1: talent in their. Bullpen But detroit certainly has a way
- 39:15Speaker 1: better offense Than. Pittsburgh but you do have to lay
- 39:17Speaker 1: a favorite price if you Like, detroit ALTHOUGH i do
- 39:20Speaker 1: indeed Like detroit in this. Game let's break it down
- 39:24Speaker 1: here real. Quick so, AGAIN i do Think detroit is
- 39:27Speaker 1: gonna come motivated here to try to avoid the sweet
- 39:29Speaker 1: pier Against. Pittsburgh Troy melton is pitching For detroit, here,
- 39:33Speaker 1: man and he is going to be making his major league.
- 39:36Speaker 1: Debut AND i looked at his minor league stats this.
- 39:39Speaker 1: YEAR i think he's mostly been In TRIPLE a this,
- 39:42Speaker 1: year and he has AN era in the. TWOS i
- 39:44Speaker 1: believe he has a whip THAT'S i believe it's lower
- 39:47Speaker 1: than ONE i want to, say or it's somewhere in
- 39:49Speaker 1: the low. Ones and he has like eighty something strikeouts
- 39:52Speaker 1: and sixty something and he's, pitched so he has been
- 39:54Speaker 1: racking up a lot of. Strikeouts so he's a decent. Prospect.
- 39:59Speaker 1: MAN i think he is ready to perform at the
- 40:01Speaker 1: major league. Level. Man you know WHAT i always say
- 40:03Speaker 1: about these prospects that are pretty, good they tend to
- 40:06Speaker 1: have a little bit of an edge when they're facing
- 40:07Speaker 1: offenses that haven't seen him, before and he gets to
- 40:10Speaker 1: face a pretty Weak pittsburgh, offense SO i think that
- 40:13Speaker 1: is a good. Sign he's Facing pittsburgh, here SO i
- 40:15Speaker 1: kind of like. That so that's WHY i Like detroit
- 40:17Speaker 1: here man for those, reasons even THOUGH i think maybe
- 40:20Speaker 1: you're paying too much BECAUSE i thought with an unknown
- 40:23Speaker 1: guy Like melton on The, MOUNT i thought maybe you'd
- 40:25Speaker 1: get a cheaper price On, detroit although in this game
- 40:27Speaker 1: we're actually getting the most expensive price that was seen
- 40:30Speaker 1: in the series On. DETROIT i Think pittsburgh was a
- 40:32Speaker 1: favorite in the other two, games and now they're an,
- 40:35Speaker 1: underdog which is probably why the money seems to be
- 40:38Speaker 1: disagreeing With detroit seventy four percent of tickets only sixty
- 40:41Speaker 1: two percent of the. Cash so of Course detroit's gonna be.
- 40:43Speaker 1: Public the public's gonna look at this and be, like,
- 40:45Speaker 1: well there's no Way detroit's getting. Swept Although i'm saying
- 40:48Speaker 1: that in this game as well BECAUSE i happen to
- 40:50Speaker 1: like the starting pitching matchup For detroit. Here SO i,
- 40:54Speaker 1: mean you could go first five innings on this if
- 40:56Speaker 1: you wanted, to BUT i would probably still go full
- 40:58Speaker 1: game On detroit to avoid the swing IF i was
- 41:01Speaker 1: gonna do, it ALTHOUGH i will stay off of it
- 41:03Speaker 1: just because the market read looks like it's not quite.
- 41:05Speaker 1: There but, YEAH i MEAN i Like. Detroit i'm just
- 41:08Speaker 1: checking the market, read making making sure My San diego
- 41:11Speaker 1: thing is still looking alright. Here but, yeah as far
- 41:14Speaker 1: As detroit is, Concerned, YEAH i, MEAN i still like The.
- 41:18Speaker 1: Melton he doesn't have a huge uh like pitching arsenal,
- 41:21Speaker 1: though so he does throw really. Hard he throws mid
- 41:24Speaker 1: to upper nineties for the most. Part he can reach
- 41:26Speaker 1: one hundred on the, gun so he's a hard, thrower although,
- 41:29Speaker 1: again major league hitters can hit those. Fastballs he does
- 41:32Speaker 1: have a slider and then a, CURVEBALL i, guess BUT
- 41:35Speaker 1: i guess those are still kind of pitches that he
- 41:37Speaker 1: needs to work on a little. Bit but it does
- 41:39Speaker 1: look like they're working in the miners, man because he's
- 41:41Speaker 1: been fooling guys pretty well at the minor league. Level
- 41:44Speaker 1: SO i do think he's. READY i do expect him
- 41:46Speaker 1: to be good. Here maybe we would use a wait
- 41:49Speaker 1: and see approach with. Him Bailey falter is pitching For.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Pittsburgh he's not their worst starter FOR era one point
- 41:55Speaker 1: two to two. Whip he's not, great but he's not.
- 41:57Speaker 1: Terrible he's decent at home three point six FIVE i
- 42:00Speaker 1: Have Homi pittsburgh has lost his last three outings, though
- 42:03Speaker 1: and not a good sign when two of them were
- 42:05Speaker 1: Against Kansas city and The White. Sox he gave up
- 42:08Speaker 1: seven runs in eight and two thirds innings across those two,
- 42:11Speaker 1: starts four home runs, allowed twelve hits allowed in those two,
- 42:14Speaker 1: starts and those are bad. Offenses and he only had
- 42:16Speaker 1: a five to four or five to three strike a
- 42:19Speaker 1: walk ratio and those two, starts excuse, me and almost twelve.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Hits and he didn't do well Against seattle to start
- 42:25Speaker 1: before that really, either allowing three home runs in That seattle.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Park that's not good. Either So falter has been faltering this.
- 42:33Speaker 1: MONTH i, mean he's not in good form right. Now
- 42:35Speaker 1: so he's not really a guy That i'd want anything
- 42:36Speaker 1: to do. With And detroit has raked against him in
- 42:39Speaker 1: twenty three at. Bats it is a small sample, size
- 42:41Speaker 1: so they have three home runs off of, him although
- 42:44Speaker 1: two of them are by as three forty eight batting
- 42:46Speaker 1: average against him in one, thousand two forty five. Ohps
- 42:50Speaker 1: so those are the reasons WHY i actually do Like
- 42:55Speaker 1: detroit in this, game and for a bunch of. Reasons
- 42:57Speaker 1: BUT i, MEAN i think they have a big starting
- 43:00Speaker 1: pitching edge in this. Game because of, that you're gonna
- 43:02Speaker 1: have to worry about what Is melton gonna do in this?
- 43:04Speaker 1: One so if you do Like, detroit you can actually
- 43:06Speaker 1: get him in a decent money. Line price it minus
- 43:08Speaker 1: one thirty. Four though, again LIKE i, said maybe that's
- 43:11Speaker 1: a little bit too. Expensive you can knock the price
- 43:14Speaker 1: down a little bit if you want to go run
- 43:15Speaker 1: line and pay plus one twenty six or plus one
- 43:18Speaker 1: twenty five, whatever and you could split half the bet
- 43:22Speaker 1: run line half the bet money. Line but you know,
- 43:24Speaker 1: ME i like to play in some of these guys
- 43:25Speaker 1: that are good prospects in their major league. Debuts SO
- 43:28Speaker 1: i definitely lean To detroit in this. One but the
- 43:31Speaker 1: market read at least on a pregame, here is completely
- 43:34Speaker 1: against the money. IS i, mean it's dropped a big
- 43:37Speaker 1: time down for minus one thirty five to minus one twenty.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Three SO i GUESS i will stay away from that. One,
- 43:43Speaker 1: david what's up, Man thanks for hanging. Out, Okay, yeah
- 43:48Speaker 1: So i'll stay off of that, one BUT i do
- 43:49Speaker 1: lean To. Detroit in that game and against the. Market
- 43:52Speaker 1: read there all. Right, now going back to WHERE i
- 43:54Speaker 1: Was milwaukee And, Seattle i'm gonna skip BECAUSE i am
- 43:57Speaker 1: given out a play on that. Game minnesota and The.
- 43:59Speaker 1: Dodgers oh my, God dodgers lost ten to seven, yesterday, man.
- 44:06Speaker 1: CRAZY i MEAN i MENTIONED i kind of thought it
- 44:08Speaker 1: might be a high scoring game BECAUSE i think both
- 44:10Speaker 1: of these bullpens are pretty, bad. Man and both bullpens
- 44:13Speaker 1: saw a lot of usage yesterday. Too so if you're
- 44:16Speaker 1: looking at today's, GAME i think you want to either
- 44:19Speaker 1: fade the bullpens or not factor them into your, handicap
- 44:22Speaker 1: like go with some first five inning player or, something
- 44:25Speaker 1: if you're going with the full game. Over if you're
- 44:28Speaker 1: going with an, OVER i would go full game, obviously
- 44:30Speaker 1: BECAUSE i don't trust either of these. Bullpens AND i
- 44:32Speaker 1: don't Trust Chris paddock. Either who's gonna be pitching for
- 44:35Speaker 1: The twins five point one FOUR era one point three
- 44:38Speaker 1: to one. Whip he had a good start to the,
- 44:40Speaker 1: season BUT i think that it was A i think
- 44:43Speaker 1: that it was pretty much. FRAUDULENT i, mean he hasn't been.
- 44:45Speaker 1: Good he hasn't been good on the road five point
- 44:47Speaker 1: eight One road. Era he's been giving up a lot of.
- 44:50Speaker 1: Runs he's given up eleven runs in the last two
- 44:52Speaker 1: starts over his last ten innings granded it was against
- 44:55Speaker 1: The cubs and then a course, feel but still three
- 44:57Speaker 1: on the runs all out over that. Span seven to
- 44:59Speaker 1: three strike out walk ratio is not very impressive. Either
- 45:03Speaker 1: he's been getting lit up in a lot of. Starts
- 45:05Speaker 1: minnesota has been really poor behind him as. Well they've
- 45:09Speaker 1: lost nine of his last eleven. Starts so, again part
- 45:12Speaker 1: of it is because they can't, hit so he's not
- 45:13Speaker 1: getting run, support but part of it is him that
- 45:16Speaker 1: he's not pitching that well, either and he is not
- 45:19Speaker 1: going that deep into these games. Anymore he's gone five
- 45:21Speaker 1: or fewer innings in every start going all the way
- 45:23Speaker 1: back to Mid. June it's not a good sign for A.
- 45:26Speaker 1: Paddock numbers against The dodgers mediocre fifty three at bats
- 45:31Speaker 1: two sixty four average, allowed seven to sixty five, ops
- 45:34Speaker 1: seven to two strikeout walk ratios some not. GREAT i,
- 45:38Speaker 1: mean The dodgers certainly do have the ability to hit, him.
- 45:41Speaker 1: Obviously The dodgers have the better starter on the mound
- 45:43Speaker 1: With Tyler Glas. No three point one O E ra
- 45:46Speaker 1: one point one four. Whip he's coming back from. Injury
- 45:50Speaker 1: he's been pitching well man since he's come. Back two
- 45:52Speaker 1: point FIVE era at home this. Year his last two
- 45:55Speaker 1: starts since he came back from, injury we're both Against,
- 45:58Speaker 1: milwaukee and, yes The dodgers lost both of those, games
- 46:01Speaker 1: but certainly wasn't his fault because he went eleven innings
- 46:04Speaker 1: and against that pretty good. Offense he held him the six,
- 46:06Speaker 1: hits one earned, run had eleven, strikeouts four walks a
- 46:10Speaker 1: little bit, high but, uh three of them were in
- 46:12Speaker 1: that first start where maybe he was kind of trying
- 46:15Speaker 1: to get back into the rhythm of. Things SO i
- 46:17Speaker 1: Think glasnow is going to be good. Here he's facing
- 46:19Speaker 1: a much Weaker minnesota lineup and he has absolutely dominated
- 46:23Speaker 1: them in his, history and fifty one at bats he's
- 46:25Speaker 1: only given up seven hits to. Them one extra base
- 46:28Speaker 1: hit is a home run To Royce, lewis but other than,
- 46:30Speaker 1: that he's completely shut them. Down twenty six to, one
- 46:33Speaker 1: strike up walk ratio against him one thirty seven average
- 46:36Speaker 1: and ridiculously low three point fifty oh. Ps. GLASNO i,
- 46:41Speaker 1: mean he's still the real deal and he should have
- 46:43Speaker 1: the upper hand in this pitching matchup, here but you're
- 46:46Speaker 1: having to lay a huge price with The, dodger so
- 46:48Speaker 1: the money is coming in against them, again WHICH i
- 46:51Speaker 1: don't really understand That dodgers, now for mind his two
- 46:53Speaker 1: thirty five to minus two oh three eighty five percent of,
- 46:56Speaker 1: tickets only seventy percent of the cash money coming in
- 47:00Speaker 1: against The. Dodgers the way That i'd probably look at
- 47:02Speaker 1: this game IS i would probably Go minnesota first five
- 47:07Speaker 1: under their team. TOTAL i would probably get that granular
- 47:10Speaker 1: with it and go with what the best matchup looks
- 47:11Speaker 1: like it, is which is glasnow to completely dominate The minnesota.
- 47:15Speaker 1: Offense looks like it's the right approach, There so that's
- 47:18Speaker 1: probably the way THAT i would. GO i could see
- 47:20Speaker 1: also going with like A dodgers run line in the
- 47:22Speaker 1: first five, innings but it might be a little bit
- 47:24Speaker 1: of an expensive price tag on. That so that's kind
- 47:27Speaker 1: of the WAY i look at. That baltimore At cleveland,
- 47:31Speaker 1: obviously first of, ALL i don't really trust either of these.
- 47:33Speaker 1: BULLPENS i, Mean baltimore's is. Bad both bullpens have seen
- 47:36Speaker 1: some usage. Here cleveland has actually won three in a,
- 47:39Speaker 1: row and they've actually won six in their last seven.
- 47:41Speaker 1: Games they've actually won ten of their last, twelve So
- 47:44Speaker 1: cleveland is surprisingly hot right, now and they're actually in
- 47:48Speaker 1: second place in their division at five, under WHICH i
- 47:51Speaker 1: think is. Misleading cleveland's offense is still really, bad even
- 47:55Speaker 1: though they have been hitting a little bit better. Recently
- 47:58Speaker 1: it is possible That baltimore shows up for this. Game,
- 48:02Speaker 1: well actually they play again, tomorrow SO i was thinking
- 48:05Speaker 1: this was the end of the, series but it is,
- 48:07Speaker 1: not So baltimore is still trying to get a win
- 48:09Speaker 1: in the series to avoid the. Sweep. Though Zach eflin
- 48:12Speaker 1: is coming back off the injured list to pitch For baltimore,
- 48:15Speaker 1: here but he struggled this. Year five point nine to FIVE,
- 48:18Speaker 1: era one point four to four whip is not very,
- 48:20Speaker 1: good bad on the road six point two to Five ROADY,
- 48:23Speaker 1: ira So i'm not really about to Trust eflyn going
- 48:26Speaker 1: into his. Injury he'd allowed four or more earned runs
- 48:30Speaker 1: and three straight, outings and two of them he didn't
- 48:33Speaker 1: even go past three, innings and two of them one
- 48:35Speaker 1: of THEM i think is where he got hurt in
- 48:37Speaker 1: The Tampa bay, game and maybe the injury is kind
- 48:39Speaker 1: of factoring into how badly he was. Pitching but he's
- 48:42Speaker 1: the guy that puts up like pretty good strike out walk.
- 48:44Speaker 1: Numbers he does not walk a lot of, guys but
- 48:46Speaker 1: he gives up a lot of hard. Hits he's given
- 48:47Speaker 1: up well over one hit per, inning giving up a
- 48:50Speaker 1: lot of home. Runs so that's E. Flyn he gives
- 48:52Speaker 1: up a lot of hard. Contact, Man that's That's. Eflin
- 48:58Speaker 1: terrible up Against. Cleveland, here his numbers Against, cleveland WHIS
- 49:05Speaker 1: i just clicked myself off of. It up Against, cleveland
- 49:07Speaker 1: he doesn't have good numbers either in twenty six at.
- 49:09Speaker 1: Bats it is a small sample, size but three o
- 49:12Speaker 1: eight average a lot of nine to seventy three. Ops
- 49:14Speaker 1: that's not great, Either so not liking how this looks For.
- 49:17Speaker 1: Efflyn here he's going up Against Slade, chacone who's pitching
- 49:21Speaker 1: pretty decently For cleveland h three point eight FOUR, era
- 49:24Speaker 1: one point two to three. Whip he's been really bad
- 49:27Speaker 1: at home, though five point FOUR era at, home although
- 49:29Speaker 1: it's still a fairly small sample, size but maybe he's
- 49:32Speaker 1: starting to fall out a form a little. BIT i,
- 49:34Speaker 1: mean he'd give up six runs last time out against The,
- 49:36Speaker 1: a's but he did do it over eight and a third,
- 49:39Speaker 1: inning So cleveland just let him go and they just
- 49:41Speaker 1: let him roll in that. Game he's thrown around one
- 49:44Speaker 1: hundred pitches in three straight outings, now so they are
- 49:46Speaker 1: really just letting him go at it, Man so they're unleashing,
- 49:49Speaker 1: him which is a decent, sign and he was pitching
- 49:52Speaker 1: pretty well in the prior. Starts he does still have
- 49:55Speaker 1: a sixteen to four strike a walk raight shure this,
- 49:57Speaker 1: month which isn't too, bad so maybe you him a
- 50:00Speaker 1: little bit of a pass on That a's start. There
- 50:03Speaker 1: he's pitching all. Right baltimore hasn't seen that much of,
- 50:06Speaker 1: him but in eight at bats they are four to,
- 50:08Speaker 1: eight often with A mullins home run five hundred average
- 50:11Speaker 1: fifteen hundred oh. Ps So chaconi hasn't done particularly well
- 50:14Speaker 1: Against baltimore in a limited sample. Size and BECAUSE i
- 50:17Speaker 1: don't trust either, BULLPEN i think you're probably looking at
- 50:21Speaker 1: an over in this. Game the total is reasonable at
- 50:23Speaker 1: eight and a, half sixty seven percent of ticket seventy
- 50:25Speaker 1: seven percent of the cash coming in on the. OVER
- 50:27Speaker 1: i would agree with the, over AND i wouldn't really
- 50:29Speaker 1: disagree With cleveland, either BECAUSE i Think chaconi is, preferable
- 50:33Speaker 1: preferable To eflyn Leaving cleveland's bullpen IN i, MEAN i
- 50:37Speaker 1: still think they're probably the better. Bullpen even though they
- 50:39Speaker 1: might be a little bit, unrested they probably still have
- 50:41Speaker 1: the bullpen edge Over baltimore as. Well SO i could
- 50:43Speaker 1: see the argument For cleveland as, well which is seemingly
- 50:46Speaker 1: where the money is. Coming they're off for just one
- 50:49Speaker 1: to fifteen to my just won twenty. Five plus they
- 50:51Speaker 1: are hot right now and baseball is. Streaky sixty percent,
- 50:55Speaker 1: tickets seventy percent of the cash coming in On. Cleveland
- 50:57Speaker 1: although you know, Me i'm a, contrarian SO i have
- 50:59Speaker 1: to counter that with me, saying, WELL i don't want
- 51:02Speaker 1: to play on the hot team necessarily because the hot,
- 51:05Speaker 1: team you're gonna have to be paying more for that hot.
- 51:07Speaker 1: Team my bust In Red sox At, philadelphia trying to
- 51:11Speaker 1: avoid the sweep Against. Philadelphia this is THE Espn Night.
- 51:14Speaker 1: Game Red sox have had a tough goal of, it,
- 51:16Speaker 1: MAN i, mean they had to Face wheeler And, sanchez
- 51:21Speaker 1: so they had to Face philadelphia's two best. Starters maybe
- 51:24Speaker 1: they get a little bit of a reprieve Against, luzarda
- 51:26Speaker 1: who hasn't been as. Good we'll see what The Red
- 51:29Speaker 1: sox can do in this one Man giolito was gonna
- 51:31Speaker 1: be pitching for The Red. Sox philadelphia got a complete
- 51:33Speaker 1: game From sanchez last. Night sanchez was excellent last. Night
- 51:38Speaker 1: sanchez is turning into any elite pitcher, man SO i,
- 51:41Speaker 1: mean there's nothing else to really say about. That he
- 51:43Speaker 1: should have been on The All star. Team So philadelphia
- 51:46Speaker 1: was right about. That they weren't right About, suarez but
- 51:49Speaker 1: they were right about About. Sanchez Red sox didn't use
- 51:54Speaker 1: a ton of their bullpen yesterday either, though because they were.
- 51:56Speaker 1: Losing so the bullpen scenario isn't really terrible for either,
- 51:59Speaker 1: team even THOUGH i Know philadelphia's bullpen isn't really that,
- 52:02Speaker 1: good but both bullpens probably have their better relievers available
- 52:07Speaker 1: here after last night's. Game gielito has actually started pitching
- 52:10Speaker 1: fairly well for The Red sox after a really rough
- 52:12Speaker 1: start to this. Season he's got a three point five
- 52:15Speaker 1: nine yr one point two to four. WHIP i actually
- 52:18Speaker 1: been better on the road two point five to five y.
- 52:20Speaker 1: R his worst starts have basically all been At. Fenway
- 52:23Speaker 1: he's coming off getting tagged for four runs against The,
- 52:26Speaker 1: cubs but that was a tough assign at a road
- 52:28Speaker 1: game against a good. Offense but so is. This this
- 52:31Speaker 1: is a road game against a good. Offense but prior to,
- 52:34Speaker 1: that he had not allowed more than tourn runs in any,
- 52:36Speaker 1: start going all the way back to Early. June he'd
- 52:38Speaker 1: actually allowed one or fewer in five of those six,
- 52:42Speaker 1: starts and he was pitching quite well for The Red,
- 52:44Speaker 1: sox and they had won all but one of those starts as.
- 52:46Speaker 1: Well so and that was the one where actually you,
- 52:49Speaker 1: know they won all of, them, right they won all
- 52:50Speaker 1: of them except for the the one where he gave
- 52:52Speaker 1: up to urn runs Against San, francisco WHICH i skipped
- 52:54Speaker 1: over that in my. Apologies but, yeah Gi alito was
- 52:58Speaker 1: pitching well up until that last. Start he does have.
- 53:01Speaker 1: Well he has interesting numbers Against. Philadelphia let's, say at
- 53:04Speaker 1: one hundred and eight at, best he's held him to
- 53:06Speaker 1: a two oh four, average which is really. Low but
- 53:08Speaker 1: when they have hit, him they've hit him. Hard they
- 53:10Speaker 1: have eight home runs off, him a twenty six to
- 53:12Speaker 1: thirteen strike a walk ratio on a pretty high seven
- 53:15Speaker 1: eighty nine. Ops so you usually don't see an average
- 53:17Speaker 1: that low allowed by a picture with AN ops that
- 53:21Speaker 1: high allowed by a pictuer in that same sample of,
- 53:24Speaker 1: HITTERS i, mean that's kind of a crazy. Disparity so
- 53:27Speaker 1: it's like he doesn't allow that many, hits but the
- 53:29Speaker 1: hits that he does allow and the walks all add
- 53:32Speaker 1: up to him allowing a lot of bases to The,
- 53:36Speaker 1: phillies which isn't Great, lozardo AS i mentioned his pitching For,
- 53:39Speaker 1: philly he's really dropped off after a hot start to
- 53:42Speaker 1: the season four point two to NINETY rra now one
- 53:44Speaker 1: point four to three whip is really. Bad at, home
- 53:47Speaker 1: he's been worse four point eight yar, ra so The
- 53:50Speaker 1: Red sox do at least have the advantage in the
- 53:52Speaker 1: splits this. Month in three, starts he's failed to go
- 53:56Speaker 1: five innings in two of those. Starts he has a
- 53:59Speaker 1: five point nine THREE era this, month still a very
- 54:02Speaker 1: high strike got rate of eighteen by a high walk
- 54:04Speaker 1: rate as well of six in thirteen to two thirds
- 54:07Speaker 1: in addition to allowing sixteen, hits so he's been getting knocked.
- 54:10Speaker 1: Around he's been a little bit. Wild he has not
- 54:12Speaker 1: been pitching as well, man So luzardo is trailing. Off
- 54:15Speaker 1: he's been good against The Red sox and a small
- 54:18Speaker 1: sample well actually similar To, gilito he has a good
- 54:20Speaker 1: batting average allowed to thirty, one but a high ops
- 54:24Speaker 1: seven to seventy, two although this isn't a smaller sample
- 54:27Speaker 1: of twenty, six so the home runs do more. Damage
- 54:29Speaker 1: and it's all From, bregman who has both of the
- 54:32Speaker 1: home runs he's. Allowed he also has a six to
- 54:34Speaker 1: three strike a walk ratio against The Red, sox so,
- 54:38Speaker 1: THIS i, mean this is a stay away from me
- 54:40Speaker 1: for sure as far as uh, YEAH i MEAN i
- 54:44Speaker 1: might even slightly lean to The Red sox to be,
- 54:46Speaker 1: Honest philly's sitting in the minus one forty five. FAVORITE i,
- 54:49Speaker 1: mean this is the cheapest price that you're getting On
- 54:51Speaker 1: philly in this. Series BUT i think it's that cheap
- 54:53Speaker 1: for a. Reason fifty three percent to take a seventy
- 54:55Speaker 1: six percent of cash coming in on The Red sox
- 54:58Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily disagree, with just BECAUSE i do Think giolito
- 55:01Speaker 1: is the pitcher that's in the better. Form but we'll
- 55:04Speaker 1: see what, happens, man and maybe you could leave The
- 55:06Speaker 1: Red sox bullpen in there as. Well Red sox offense
- 55:09Speaker 1: is not quite as good on the, road though their
- 55:11Speaker 1: offense is not, bad but it's definitely better at home
- 55:14Speaker 1: than it is on the. Road we Have yankees At,
- 55:16Speaker 1: toronto and unfortunately for me as A Red sox, fan
- 55:19Speaker 1: The yankees finally Broke toronto's win streak against, them and
- 55:23Speaker 1: had to do it with a late run to Beat
- 55:25Speaker 1: toronto in a close five to four final, yesterday which
- 55:28Speaker 1: is a game WHERE i had the under and it
- 55:29Speaker 1: landed right on the. Number gave that out as a
- 55:32Speaker 1: play on the. Show yankees in this game probably have
- 55:36Speaker 1: the starting pitching edge in this, game but we'll dig
- 55:38Speaker 1: into it in a. SECOND i think a lot of
- 55:40Speaker 1: bullpen used to just happen though in this. Series, man
- 55:42Speaker 1: so the bullpens are fairly TAXED i think coming into this.
- 55:45Speaker 1: Game SO i would not want to deal with the. Bullpens,
- 55:48Speaker 1: well let me make sure of. That Sometimes i'm like
- 55:50Speaker 1: misremembering things THAT i saw earlier. Today, yeah both, bullpens
- 55:55Speaker 1: especially The. Yankees The yankees used a lot of their bullpen.
- 55:58Speaker 1: Yesterday toronto not so. Much, Actually toronto probably has the
- 56:01Speaker 1: bullpen advantage in this, game BUT i don't think they
- 56:04Speaker 1: have to starting pitching. Advantage Max free is pitching for The, yankees.
- 56:08Speaker 1: Obviously he is their ace two point four to THREE
- 56:10Speaker 1: era one point zero one. Whip he's been. Good he's
- 56:13Speaker 1: been pretty good both home in a, way a little
- 56:15Speaker 1: bit worse on the road two point five to EIGHT
- 56:17Speaker 1: roadyra but he's actually been worse this. Month he has
- 56:21Speaker 1: a six point four to THREE era this, month including
- 56:24Speaker 1: a start Against toronto which was the only one of
- 56:26Speaker 1: those starts where he went more than five, innings but
- 56:28Speaker 1: he did allow four runs to him, runs only had
- 56:31Speaker 1: a two to two strike out walk ratio in that,
- 56:33Speaker 1: game so he wasn't really that good in that. Start
- 56:35Speaker 1: he has faced some tough Offenses Toronto Mets, cubs but
- 56:38Speaker 1: he's Facing toronto again here only as a nine to
- 56:41Speaker 1: six strike at walker raceio this, month and he's allowed
- 56:44Speaker 1: three or more runs in all three starts and fifteen
- 56:47Speaker 1: hits in fourteen, innings tenor in runs. Loud he's definitely
- 56:51Speaker 1: starting to fall off a little, bit WHICH i said
- 56:52Speaker 1: his numbers would not remain as elite as they were
- 56:55Speaker 1: early in the. Season he is still good, though and
- 56:58Speaker 1: he does still have good numbers Against toronto overall in
- 57:01Speaker 1: seventy six at, bats eleven to three strike at walk,
- 57:03Speaker 1: ratio one to eighty four batting, average a lot of
- 57:06Speaker 1: four to sixty five. Ops so you have to kind
- 57:08Speaker 1: of weigh match up versus current form, here like which
- 57:11Speaker 1: one do you think is gonna win out? Here For
- 57:14Speaker 1: Max freed, ME i think he's probably gonna pitch fairly
- 57:17Speaker 1: well in this, Game so that's kind of the way
- 57:19Speaker 1: THAT i lean AND i prefer him Over Chris, bassett
- 57:21Speaker 1: WHO i know he has pretty decent numbers this, year
- 57:24Speaker 1: even though he's a thirty six year old who's kind
- 57:26Speaker 1: of reinvented. Himself bassett is a weird pitcher who does
- 57:29Speaker 1: rely on fooling. Hitters he doesn't throw that, hard but
- 57:33Speaker 1: he has basically like nine different pitches that he. Throws
- 57:36Speaker 1: because he throws a fastball that he changes the movement
- 57:39Speaker 1: on the fastball in like a whole bunch of different,
- 57:41Speaker 1: ways which keeps hitters off balanced even though it's not
- 57:44Speaker 1: a really hard, fastball but that's the way that he.
- 57:46Speaker 1: Pitches three point eight NINE era obviously is, good but
- 57:49Speaker 1: a one point three to six whip is not as,
- 57:51Speaker 1: good so he does put runners on. Base but he
- 57:53Speaker 1: has also been good at home two point five to
- 57:55Speaker 1: three HOME, era and he is pitching well this month
- 57:58Speaker 1: with a one point eight nine this, Month toronto's won
- 58:01Speaker 1: three of his four starts this, month including one against The,
- 58:04Speaker 1: yankees and he has a sixteen to four strike out
- 58:06Speaker 1: walk razuer this. Month one against The yankees was the,
- 58:08Speaker 1: worst the worst of those, starts and he had a
- 58:12Speaker 1: shortened outing against The, a's so he's actually made three
- 58:15Speaker 1: starts this, month and he made one relief appearance against The,
- 58:18Speaker 1: a's Which toronto did that to keep him on schedule
- 58:21Speaker 1: throughout The All star, break which is WHY i kind
- 58:23Speaker 1: of liked. That and then he came out and he
- 58:25Speaker 1: shut Out San, francisco although he did get hit around
- 58:27Speaker 1: for ten, hits but he kept them off the. BOARD
- 58:30Speaker 1: i was starting against The, yankees he had nine strikeouts
- 58:32Speaker 1: and five and two, thirds so he was fooling The yankee,
- 58:35Speaker 1: hitters although he did walk three and give up three
- 58:37Speaker 1: runs and eight, hits so it wasn't all good for
- 58:40Speaker 1: him in that. Start and, overall The yankees actually hit
- 58:43Speaker 1: him well and one hundred and fifteen at bats three
- 58:45Speaker 1: oh four average. Allowed they have five home runs off,
- 58:48Speaker 1: Him grisham has two and his four to fourteen off
- 58:51Speaker 1: him three h four average, allowed eight to ninety three
- 58:53Speaker 1: ops and thirty six to fourteen strike out walk, Ratio
- 58:56Speaker 1: SO i do Think freed does have the upper hand Over. Bassett,
- 59:00Speaker 1: yeah starting pitching, matchup the BULLPENS i think start to
- 59:03Speaker 1: shift in the direction Of toronto, though SO i would
- 59:07Speaker 1: say Maybe yankees' first five inning is looking towards that.
- 59:10Speaker 1: Direction might make sense to just avoid The yankees. Bullpen
- 59:13Speaker 1: they are off for might as one thirty five to
- 59:15Speaker 1: minus one thirty six sixty two ticket sixty eight percent
- 59:18Speaker 1: of the cash on The, yankees so the money is
- 59:21Speaker 1: kind of coming in on The yankee side as. Well.
- 59:22Speaker 1: There White sox At Tampa. Bay Tampa bay got the
- 59:28Speaker 1: win yesterday after lose in the first game of this.
- 59:30Speaker 1: Years they barely won four to, three AND i think
- 59:32Speaker 1: they used a lot of their bullpen Was rasmussen again
- 59:35Speaker 1: was limited and only went four. Innings SO i don't
- 59:37Speaker 1: know What Tampa bay is doing With rasmussen or what
- 59:40Speaker 1: the case is, there BUT i Think Tampa bay their
- 59:42Speaker 1: bullpend is an arrest disadvantage here at the very. Least
- 59:46Speaker 1: Jonathan cannon will be pitching for The White sox. Here
- 59:49Speaker 1: he's been. Mediocre four point One Adra, caleb what's up?
- 59:53Speaker 1: Man thanks for hanging out four point ONE adra For
- 59:58Speaker 1: cannon one point three to eight whip is definitely a
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: bit too. High he's been worse on the road as,
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: well four point five to THREE r and he's a
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: lot eight of the twelve home runs he's allowed on the,
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: road although it's been in a lot more, innings but,
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: still this is a home run friendly ballpark here In Steinbrenner,
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: field SO i don't know if we could Trust cannon
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: in that. Respect but he's actually been decent recently with
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: The White, sox even though they're a shit. Team The
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: White sox have won four starts in a row of
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: his although they were all against bad Offenses San, Francisco, Colorado, Cleveland,
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: pittsburgh even though The colorado one was At Course. Field
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: he went five innings or more in the last three of,
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: them and over those last four, starts he didn't allow
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: more than two earned runs in any of, them so
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: he is at least keeping the opponent run totals, down
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: but again against bad, offenses eight to five strike a
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: walk ratio this month isn't very. Impressive he just doesn't
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: strike guys. Out Though, cannon As i've said, before is
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: not an appropriate name for him because he does not
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: have a cannon for an. Arm he does not throw.
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: Hard he relies on like, location but he's been getting
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: the job done none of the over the recent, starts
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: And tampa is a little bit better, offensively but not that.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: Much tampa really hasn't seen much of. Him they only
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: have five at bats. Off i'm only two of their
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: Batters i've ever seen him. Before they're one for five
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: with a, single two, strikeouts no. Walks so Maybe cannon
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: will have a little bit of an extra edge there
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: Because tampa has not seen him. Before, andrew what's, up?
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: Man that's? Right, YEAH i. THINKS i thinks for hanging out, man,
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: dude single. LADIES i like married women, though, man and
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: they like. Me I'm i'm a home. Wrecker, PROBABLY i don't.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: Know we'll, see BUT i don't. KNOW i like to
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: talk to married women. THOUGH i mean that's JUST i,
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: Mean i'm not doing that necessarily, intentionally that's just. THEY
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: i don't, know, man they like me for whatever. Reason
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: Taj bradley pitching For tampa. Here he's been mentioned as
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: A Red sox trade. Target. MAN i think he's at
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: least better than all. Contra BUT i still don't really Like.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: Bradley he has okay. Numbers this year four point three
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: five yard rare one point two for. WHIP i think
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: he has a higher ceiling at this point than on.
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: CONTRA i, Mean bradley's a younger guy who has much
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: more room for. Improvement he's been doing okay, Here, Kyle,
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: yeah that's right my, game, Man it's it's mostly it's
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: LIKE dm game for the most, PART. Taj bradley's been
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: worse at home, THOUGH i, mean, again it's a tough
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: stadium to pitch. In he's allowed eight of his twelve
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: home runs that he's allowed in this stadium as, well
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: and he has almost the same number of innings pitched
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: both home and, away so that's more of an indicator
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: there that he's not as good at home four point
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: nine to FOUR. Era at. Home he is pitching a
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: little bit better this, month, THOUGH i mean he has
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: a sixteen to five strike out walk ratio only eleven
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: hits a lot in seventeen to two thirds. Innings did
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: have a decent start against The Red sox in the
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: mix there At, fenway which is fairly impressive to do
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: two point oh four ra this. Month So bradley is
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: actually pitching better this, month and The White sox only
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: have five at bats against, him they only have two
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Hitters i've ever seen him. From they're zero for five
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: off him with two k's one. Walk so, AGAIN i
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: guess take from all that when you. Will BUT i
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: can see the arguments in this game for an under,
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: man especially in the first five. INNINGS i, MAN i
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: don't know that you want to bring the bullpens into
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: this because The White sox bullpen isn't, Good tampa's bullpen isn't,
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: Rested SO i could see arguments for the first five
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: inning under and just go with the starting pitching to do.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: Well seventy percent of tickets only fifty six percent of
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: the cash on the, over so it looks like some
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: of the money might be agreeing with. Me tampa is
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: a really heavy favorite and maybe shouldn't, be SO i don't.
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: KNOW i would avoid looking at the side in this,
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: game BUT i think the the under first five innings
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: might be the right way to look in that. Game.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: SWIM i thought that said swimming and spoon for a.
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: MINUTE i was like swimming in a. Spoon i'm not that, small.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: Dude the ukulele does help me out as far as that's.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: Concerned even though it's a retarded fat guy. Instrument all,
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: right let's get to the actual place here the other two,
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: plays because REMEMBER i did spur in the. MOMENT i
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: gave Out San diego, already so you can go back
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: and look at my analysis for that. ONE i already
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: gave Out San, diego WHICH i will is going to
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: give out of the end of the. Show THEN i was,
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: LIKE i don't want to actually play. It but now
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: it looks like the Market reid is right For San.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: Diego AND i still stayed off The detroit game because
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: it looks like the Market reid is not right on that.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: One SO i am giving Out San diego run line.
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: THERE i think it is a mismatch on that, one
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: so we'll go with. That the other two Players i'm
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: gonna give out today are the first five inning under
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: in The Brewers seattle actually, First oh, SHIT i. Forgot
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: it's time for best, bets. Everybody i'm, sorry best. Bets
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: OH i keep forgetting everything, Anyway, Yeah Milwaukee seattle under
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: in the first five. Innings and this has been a
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: picture friendly, series, MAN i mean it's a picture friendly.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: Park the game yesterday was one. NOTHING i, mean you
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: can't get any more under than that. Game but we're
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: gonna go first five innings this time BECAUSE i want
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: to leave the bullpens out of. This because even Though
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: milwaukee's bullpend has started pitching, better Missy rouse. GAT i
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: hope he didn't get hurt or. ANYTHING i don't know
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: why he only went three and two thirds innings. Yesterday
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: but The brewers had to use more of their bullpen
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: THAN i think they anticipated yesterday that they didn't use
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: their best. Relievers i'll use their best relievers to finish
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: off the games they're winning the. Game SO i don't
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: want either bullpen to come into this. Equation, Man both
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: bullpens are pretty taxed coming into this, one so we'll
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: avoid the. Bullpens we're gonna go with the starting pitchers,
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: here AND i think this is where we actually start
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: getting some value on unders in this and, again first
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: five innings under. FOUR i, mean that's a decent. NUMBER
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: i was thinking we were gonna get under three and
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: a half here because the full game is seven and a.
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: Half AND i do still agree with under in the full,
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: game but, AGAIN i think it's a little bit more
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: dangerous to include these overworked bullpens into the, equation but
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: the money seems to be coming in on the. Unders
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: the total initially flip from seven and a half juice
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: to the over to seven and a half juice to the,
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: under but we do see fifty two percent of tickets
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: seventy two percent of the cash coming in on the.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: Over Although i'm gonna, say because that's full, Game i'm
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: not as concerned by, that. MAN i think the first
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: five innings under is gonna be where we want to. Look.
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: Here we Have Quinn priester pitching For, milwaukee and he
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: is suddenly starting to pitch really. Well three point three
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: to THREE, era one point two whip on the, ease
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: and a little bit worse on the, road but still
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: only three point SIX. Thera that's. Good he's been really good. Recently.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: Man milwaukee has won what is this down nine starts
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: in a row for Priest or The Red sox should
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: have kept. Him, man all of a, sudden he's pitching,
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: really really. Well he's given up more than two horned
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: runs only twice over that, span which is even more,
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: insane and he's done it against some good offenses mixed in.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: There last time, out he shut out The dodgers for
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: six in he struck out ten and gave up three.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: Hits SO i think he's becoming the real. Deal. Man
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: is he gonna be in a little bit of a letdown, spot,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: maybe BUT i think you're still gonna be focused On seattle, here,
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: Man SO i think he is still gonna pitch. Well
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: he has a nineteen to four strikeout walk ratio this.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: Month that's also good three point two four, era. MAN
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: i mean he's just pitching really. Well he had one
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: bad start in the mixed there Against, minnesota which is
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: kind of inexplicable and a bad, offense but other than,
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: that pitching really, well except for the zero strike up
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: performance Against. Philly but he's still held them. Down as a,
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: PRIESTER i mean this, Guy, yeah he hasn't a lot
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: more than fourign runs going all the way back to Early,
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: may and he's only done it twice all. SEASONS a
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: priester becoming really good and The mariners have never seen him.
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: Before so that's an upper edge or upper hand that
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: gives the upper hand to the. PITCHER i never know
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: what the phrase is, there, MAN i Think Quinn priester
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: as the upper hand because of that as. Well man
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: Against seattle because they haven't seen him, before SO i
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: Like priester for that reason as. Well so the hitters
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: that haven't seen him, before they're little bit unfamiliar with.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Them Luis, castillo on the other, hand has been pitching
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: pretty well as well For seattle three point two to
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: ONE era one point two to ONE. Whip he's been
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: really good at home two point oh six cra at
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: home again pitcher Friendly. Park seattle's been really good behind him,
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Too they've won five starts in a row of His
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: he's allowed zero in runs in two of the three
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: starts this month twenty one to four strike a walk
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: right yere this month of the one point four to FIVE,
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: era so he's on fire right now as. Well he's
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: allowed more than three on runs in only two starts
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: going all the way back to u Early, may so
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: he's on fire as. Well he's pitching, well and his
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: numbers Against milwaukee are good in a big seventy three
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: at bad sample. Size, yes he has too many walks
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: twenty two strikeouts and twelve, walks but it's almost All.
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: Yelich he has eleven of the twelve walks and nine
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: strikeouts as, well SO i Think castillo is just pitched
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: Around yelich man in his, career and that's all there
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: is to say about. That yelich doesn't even hit him that.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: Well six for twenty nine not, Good So i'm not
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: too concerned about the walk, numbers seeing how lopside of
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: the are towards one. Hitter but he's Held milwaukee to
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: one seventy eight batting average over that fairly large sample
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: size and six h nine, Ops SO i like. IT
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: i like it For. Castillo under is going to be
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: the play in that game in the first five, innings,
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: though and you can get it at the under, FOUR
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: WHI i think is a good. Number and to finish it,
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: off we're going back to the well with the a's. Here.
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: MAN i, know MAYBE i should apologize in advance for,
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: this But i'm gonna Fade Patrick corman and the. MONEY i,
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: mean the market looks to be in complete agreement with.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: This texas has already plummeted form minus one seventy five
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: to minus won thirty. FIVE i don't know when they
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: were ever actually minus won seventy. Five Maybe pregame has this,
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: wrong BECAUSE i don't see How texas could ever be
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: that heavy of a. Favorite maybe there was a pitching.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: CHANGE i don't, know but they're at minus one thirty.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: Five now you can get The a's at a decent underdog,
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: price sixty five percent of tickets On texas fifty nine
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: percent of the cash coming in on The a's. Zone of,
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: course you don't have to worry a little bit if
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: you're going full game. Here you could go first five
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: innings on The a's if you want. To The a's
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: have a terrible, BULLPEN i, mean there's no doubt about,
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: that but at least we're getting them on the road
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: against a really Weak texas, Offense SO i think that
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: kind of balances out a little, bit even THOUGH i
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: KNOW i said that in the first game it didn't work.
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: Out BUT i also like the full game a little
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: bit better here because The a's are trying to avoid a.
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: Sweep i'm pretty sure right Against, Texas texas has won
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: both games so. Far, TEXAS i, believe use some of
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: their better relievers yesterday, Too so, YEAH i mean that
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: could even out the bullpen scenario a little, bit but
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: The a's definitely have the better. Bullpen. Texas who do
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: they have up? NEXT i didn't even actually Look. Texas oh,
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: NO i. Did texas hasn't landa after they have a break,
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: next SO i don't know if they're really gonna be
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: looking ahead to The, braves although The braves are certainly
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: a big name, team and after you've beaten The a's,
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: twice you might not pay as much attention to The.
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: A's and you know, ME i like to Fade Patrick,
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: korman So i'm gonna TRUST Jp sears more for The a's. Here,
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: man his numbers aren't, great five point one to THREE,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: era one point two. Eight whip is a little bit
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: more easy to, stomach and he's been a little bit
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: better on the, road and then he has been at.
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: Home at, home he's allowed thirteen of the twenty one home.
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: Runs he's allowed just way too many home runs to have,
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: allowed but in fewer innings pitched at, home he's allowed
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: way more home. Runs so the home run ball in
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: That sacramento stadium has been a huge problem for. Him
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: so it's better to Play seers on the. Road he
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: has a four point seven EIGHTY r on the, road
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a little bit more. Helpful he's
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: coming off a bad start Against, cleveland there's no way around.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: That he give up six runs of four, innings only
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: allowed six, hits so it's a little bit. INEXPLICABLE i,
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: mean he did get a little bit, unlucky gave up
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: two on the runs in that. One but overall this
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: month he has a seventeen to four strike aut walk,
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: ratio which isn't that, bad So i'm not gonna put
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: that much stock into. That the prior four starts he'd
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: allowed three or fewer earned runs in the prior four
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: so he was actually pitching. Well And cleveland maybe part
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: of the reason they hit him well is because they
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: had just seen, him So cleveland was very recently familiar with,
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: him Whereas texas hasn't seen him Since. April and he
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: did pitch well twice Against, texas including in that bad
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: home stadium of The. A's he went ten to two
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: thirds innings against, him only allowing three, runs twelve, strikeouts one,
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: Walk so he did pitch well against this pretty Bad texas,
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: offense and overall in his career he's been good against.
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: Him they're familiar with, him one hundred and thirty nine at,
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: bats but thirty two to ten strike out walk ratio
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: two thirty seven average allowed six fifty five. Ops So
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: sears has done well Against texas in his career and
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: he's going up Against KORbin who, AGAIN i just don't trust, him.
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: Man his numbers are starting to fade a little. Bit
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: he actually has a worse whip Than sears at one
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: point twenty, nine even though HIS era is better at
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: three point nine to. ONE i think HIS ra might
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: be a little bit. Misleading, yes he's been better at
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: home three point THREE, era so he is pitching better
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: in the, stadium but it's more of a pitcher friendly, stadium,
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: man so both pitchers are gonna have that advantage in this.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: Game texas has won his last three. STARTS i get. That.
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: Uh he faced The a's earlier in the season as
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: well in two of those, games and he didn't do particularly.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: Well went only nine to two, thirds allowed fourteen hits
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: over that. Span he only leed four, runs but he
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: did allow three walks compared to nine. Strikeouts he wasn't
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: as good As sears in those. Games this, month he
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: has been, good yes two point one Six eras allowed
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: two or fewer in runs and three straight starts fifteen
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: to five strike a, walk. Ratio so he is in
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: decent recent, form BUT i don't trust. HIM i don't
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: trust this numbers against The a's. Either in sixty four at,
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: bats three twelve average, allowed three Different a's have homered off,
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: him eight seventy eight ops thirteen to five strike a walk.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: Ratio So i'm gonna trust The a's. Here the market
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: read seems to be signaling on The. A's that's where
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: we're gonna. Go But i'm doing it in the first five.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: Innings you can get a better price on them in
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: the full. Game oh, Actually i'm sorry first five. INNINGS
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: i was saying full. Game if you wanna go full,
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: game you could do, that But i'm actually going first five.
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: Innings i'm gonna limit it to the starting pitchers and
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: avoid The a's bullpen, here just BECAUSE i think The
