- 0:01Speaker 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 2: It was just complete bullshit.
- 0:10Speaker 1: So that's that's I'm gonna start off this show horrible
- 0:13Speaker 1: Sunday one and five.
- 0:15Speaker 2: I don't even know what to tell you about that.
- 0:17Speaker 2: I just don't want to do this anymore.
- 0:19Speaker 1: I have never seen anything like this. Man with the
- 0:23Speaker 1: slump continuing. Two straight losses, not a good day at all.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Own four, I have not had a good season.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Man with wookends the slump that I'm on, and the
- 0:35Speaker 1: slump continues.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I've reached into pink.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Actually, I'm going to burn my browins hat Man, I
- 0:42Speaker 1: don't know what is going on with the bruins.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Arch hate? Is that what it is? I don't even
- 0:47Speaker 2: know it's It's March ninth, I think who even knows? Man,
- 0:51Speaker 2: I don't know what data is anymore. But I don't
- 0:53Speaker 2: even know what data is anymore. Man, back with you
- 0:56Speaker 2: after the worst day that I could possibly have, back
- 1:00Speaker 2: to you as I always am until I die at
- 1:03Speaker 2: least oh and two. Yesterday and yesterday did not go
- 1:07Speaker 2: well for me.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Own five the worst month that I've ever had in
- 1:12Speaker 1: my eighteen years doing this.
- 1:13Speaker 2: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 1: To the slumpyesterdays, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
- 1:23Speaker 1: I don't even know what I should do at this point,
- 1:25Speaker 1: other than potentially.
- 1:27Speaker 2: End it all. What's up, everybody, It's sewed back with you.
- 1:35Speaker 2: This is better.
- 1:36Speaker 1: I'm dead Saturday, July fifth. Hopefully everybody was safe but
- 1:41Speaker 1: still partied hard yesterday. This is the hangover day, right
- 1:46Speaker 1: It's July fifth, so I'm not hungover as a sober man,
- 1:50Speaker 1: but everybody's probably in that state right now, which is
- 1:53Speaker 1: why nobody's watching the show. Nobody's gonna pay attention to this.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Yesterday felt like Saturday, but today is actually Saturday. And yesterday, unfortunately,
- 2:01Speaker 1: we were one to two on the show. Started off
- 2:03Speaker 1: real nice with a pretty easy win on the Cincinnati Reds.
- 2:06Speaker 1: I mean they were winning at the end of the
- 2:08Speaker 1: first five. They had a big lead. I think they
- 2:10Speaker 1: were up nine to four. Uh they wound up winning,
- 2:12Speaker 1: I believe nine to six or something like that, so
- 2:15Speaker 1: that was an easy win. Then it looked like we
- 2:17Speaker 1: were gonna get the win on Tampa Bay after they
- 2:19Speaker 1: were down one nothing. They were actually they were losing
- 2:22Speaker 1: actually at the end of the first five, but I
- 2:24Speaker 1: gave out a full game play on that. They flipped
- 2:26Speaker 1: it around and they were up three to one in
- 2:28Speaker 1: the seventh inning and they blew the lead and then
- 2:31Speaker 1: lost on a walk off in the ninth losing four
- 2:33Speaker 1: to three. So we take a one run loss, and
- 2:36Speaker 1: then we have Texas also dealing with a one run loss.
- 2:39Speaker 1: And not only did they do that, but Texas was
- 2:41Speaker 1: actually winning after the first five innings, I think they
- 2:44Speaker 1: were up two to one or something like that. It
- 2:48Speaker 1: was either one nothing or two to one. I think
- 2:50Speaker 1: I guess it was one nothing at the end of five.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Then they were up two to one late in the game,
- 2:54Speaker 1: and think they were up two to one, maybe in
- 2:55Speaker 1: the eighth inning or something. They gave up a time run.
- 2:58Speaker 1: It went into extra innings and they lost. Texas did
- 3:01Speaker 1: get out hit in the game, but still brutal way
- 3:04Speaker 1: to lose those two bets. Man highly likely once it
- 3:09Speaker 1: gets into two coin flip situations like that, it's fairly
- 3:13Speaker 1: likely you're gonna at least get one of the two.
- 3:15Speaker 1: But that did not happen. So one and two day
- 3:18Speaker 1: yesterday not exactly what I wanted. I think my handicapping
- 3:21Speaker 1: was there though some of the leans I gave out
- 3:23Speaker 1: on the show hit what can you do? Move on today,
- 3:27Speaker 1: as you always have to do. We're gonna talk about
- 3:30Speaker 1: baseball and WNBA here today WNBA.
- 3:33Speaker 2: There's not a whole lot going on.
- 3:35Speaker 1: LA is at Indiana and Indiana is down from seven
- 3:38Speaker 1: point favorite to a five and a half point favorite.
- 3:40Speaker 1: I keep thinking Indiana's got to be in like a
- 3:42Speaker 1: letdown spot of some kind, because not only did they
- 3:44Speaker 1: just come off beating well, winning the Commissioner's Cup and
- 3:50Speaker 1: beating Minnesota, but they came back off of that and
- 3:53Speaker 1: they blew out the Vegas aces and they're doing this
- 3:56Speaker 1: without Caitlin Clark, which is even more crazy. But I
- 4:01Speaker 1: don't know, man, So I mean, it seems like they
- 4:03Speaker 1: should be in a huge letdown spot here, right. But
- 4:05Speaker 1: I think I would like the idea of fading them
- 4:08Speaker 1: more if Caitlyn Clark was coming back, which she is
- 4:11Speaker 1: still not coming back today. So that's kind of why
- 4:13Speaker 1: the line has dropped a little bit again on Indiana,
- 4:16Speaker 1: because if she was playing, it would probably be maybe
- 4:19Speaker 1: they'd be like an eight point favorite. Eight and a
- 4:20Speaker 1: half point favorite here or something like that. I still
- 4:23Speaker 1: think it's a spot where either you had got to
- 4:25Speaker 1: play La or Faye or past the game.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Excuse me, because I mean Indiana.
- 4:30Speaker 1: I mean they still have to be in a major
- 4:32Speaker 1: letdown spot for two really huge wins like that.
- 4:35Speaker 2: So that's really the only way I would look at
- 4:37Speaker 2: this game.
- 4:37Speaker 1: But I think it would be stronger if you were
- 4:39Speaker 1: fading them with Caitlyn Clark coming back, because I was
- 4:41Speaker 1: talking about the reverse injured player spot where when that
- 4:44Speaker 1: star player comes back, it takes them a little while
- 4:46Speaker 1: to get back into the rotation. When they come back,
- 4:48Speaker 1: the line has to move to account for the fact
- 4:50Speaker 1: that they are coming back. So usually it is a
- 4:53Speaker 1: fade spot, but I think Indiana is still in a
- 4:55Speaker 1: fade spot today as well. I'm not going to give
- 4:57Speaker 1: it out as a play, but it is a lean
- 5:00Speaker 1: LA in their last game played at New York and
- 5:02Speaker 1: actually played somewhat tough, I guess, losing by ten. I
- 5:06Speaker 1: mean they're winning the game into the second half, so
- 5:09Speaker 1: kind of a situation where I don't exactly want to
- 5:11Speaker 1: play on La here because they were within five points
- 5:14Speaker 1: in the final like a few minutes of that game,
- 5:17Speaker 1: so they were not out of that game against the Liberty,
- 5:19Speaker 1: so they played a pretty tough game as well.
- 5:21Speaker 2: So I'll stay away.
- 5:22Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna give out a play in Golden
- 5:24Speaker 1: State at Minnesota either.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Golden State, I mean, they've.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Been actually playing well, but maybe playing a little bit
- 5:31Speaker 1: better than they actually are in Minnesota, of course, might
- 5:34Speaker 1: be the best team in the league at this point.
- 5:36Speaker 1: They're coming off a bounce back win after they lost
- 5:38Speaker 1: that Commissioner's Cup game. Maybe they just took it like
- 5:42Speaker 1: maybe they took it too easy, expecting they would have
- 5:44Speaker 1: an easy time beating a clerkless Indiana and that did
- 5:47Speaker 1: not happen. They bounced back nicely with a win over Washington,
- 5:51Speaker 1: just staying at home. But other than that, I mean,
- 5:54Speaker 1: it's really tough to get a read on this game.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Golden State's coming off just a monster blowout of Seattle though,
- 6:01Speaker 1: which was also an upset, so I would still probably
- 6:03Speaker 1: kind of lean towards Minnesota in that game. I don't
- 6:06Speaker 1: think Golden State can really sustain an effort like that,
- 6:10Speaker 1: man against a team that's definitely better than they are
- 6:12Speaker 1: in Minnesota laying nine and a half, that's really all
- 6:15Speaker 1: I have to say about WNBA though, Joe, what's up man?
- 6:19Speaker 1: Thank you sir, Thanks for hanging out man. Hope you're
- 6:21Speaker 1: doing well as well. All right, major League Baseball. Here,
- 6:26Speaker 1: I'm gonna give out two baseball plays, and I'll give
- 6:30Speaker 1: out what kind of my feelings are some of my
- 6:32Speaker 1: leans on these.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Usually this takes way too.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Long because I go over every single game autistically, so
- 6:38Speaker 1: maybe I could somehow do it more quickly, but we
- 6:41Speaker 1: will see. The first game up is difficult to read
- 6:44Speaker 1: because we have Tampa.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Bay at Minnesota.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Of course, I gave out Tampa as the play yesterday
- 6:49Speaker 1: with Minnesota on the return home spot. Probably should have
- 6:53Speaker 1: gotten there with Tampa Bay up three to one in
- 6:55Speaker 1: the seventh. You're not gonna lose that game that often,
- 6:57Speaker 1: especially with a decent bullpen against a bat offense, a
- 7:01Speaker 1: low scoring game like that, You're not gonna lose that
- 7:03Speaker 1: one very often.
- 7:03Speaker 2: But that was a loser coming into this game.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I still prefer Tampa Bay's bullpen man in Minnesota's bullpen
- 7:12Speaker 1: still has not really been doing that well, even though
- 7:14Speaker 1: they did wind up having the.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Upper hand in the game yesterday.
- 7:17Speaker 1: They actually used some of their relievers yesterday more than
- 7:21Speaker 1: Tampa did, so I still lean towards Tampa having the
- 7:24Speaker 1: bullpen edge. Tampa has todged Bradley on the mound as
- 7:28Speaker 1: their starter today. He hasn't been having a good season
- 7:30Speaker 1: though four point seven to nine ERA, one point three whip.
- 7:33Speaker 1: He's been better on the road though the three point
- 7:35Speaker 1: nine to five roadyra on the month of June just
- 7:40Speaker 1: walking too many guys Man twenty five to eleven strikeout
- 7:43Speaker 1: walk ratio five point seven to two ERA, although his
- 7:47Speaker 1: last couple of starts he only walked one a piece
- 7:49Speaker 1: in three straight starts actually, although one of those games
- 7:52Speaker 1: he got wrecked by Baltimore, so that game wasn't exactly good,
- 7:56Speaker 1: and then he did not bounce back really against Baltimore
- 7:59Speaker 1: the next time and they knocked him around again. So
- 8:01Speaker 1: I don't trust Bradley man because really his only good
- 8:03Speaker 1: start that he's had in the last four or five
- 8:07Speaker 1: starts was against a weak Kansas City lineup, So I
- 8:10Speaker 1: just don't want anything to do with him. Man against Minnesota,
- 8:13Speaker 1: he does have good numbers though in seventy two at bats,
- 8:16Speaker 1: Minnesota not a very prolific offense.
- 8:18Speaker 2: He's sell them to a two O waight average six.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Seventy one ops seventeen to three strike out walk ratio.
- 8:25Speaker 1: And Minnesota does not have a starter listed here, which
- 8:27Speaker 1: if we look at pregame they don't have it listed either,
- 8:30Speaker 1: So we don't know what is gonna happen with Minnesota.
- 8:32Speaker 1: They're either gonna call somebody back up like it might
- 8:34Speaker 1: wind up being like Zebi Matthews, I really don't even know,
- 8:38Speaker 1: or they're going with a bulp end game, and I
- 8:40Speaker 1: think that's really not what you want with Minnesota. See,
- 8:43Speaker 1: if they're going with a bullpend game, I would have
- 8:44Speaker 1: to kind of lean to Tampa Bay with at least
- 8:47Speaker 1: an actual starter on the mound and probably the better
- 8:50Speaker 1: of the two bullpends. So it's a slight lean there.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Tampa's already dropped from minus one thirty one to minus
- 8:56Speaker 1: one twenty two, though Tampa getting a lot of respect
- 8:58Speaker 1: in the market being road fit here on Minnesota at
- 9:01Speaker 1: the very least is better at home with a winning
- 9:04Speaker 1: home record, although Tampa has been good on the road,
- 9:06Speaker 1: Tampa has a winning road record as well, So again,
- 9:10Speaker 1: very difficult game to read. Andrew, what's up man? Did
- 9:13Speaker 1: the Angels lose yesterday?
- 9:16Speaker 2: Yes?
- 9:16Speaker 1: I believe they did right the Angels. Their bullpen is terrible.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Man.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Yeah they lost in extra innings actually to a very
- 9:25Speaker 1: hot Toronto team. I forgot who they were playing, but yes,
- 9:27Speaker 1: the Angels lost hard. R R.
- 9:30Speaker 2: What's up man?
- 9:31Speaker 1: A nice BK BK guy Avatar there, sir, baseball. It's
- 9:38Speaker 1: fun to attend in person, man, it was more fun
- 9:41Speaker 1: back when I used to be a drinker. But it's
- 9:42Speaker 1: fun anyway, man, And you get to hang out with
- 9:45Speaker 1: a bunch of crazy drunken fans basically, especially if you
- 9:48Speaker 1: get like cheap seats and you're out in the bleachers whatever.
- 9:51Speaker 1: But yeah, it's fun to attend a game.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Man.
- 9:53Speaker 1: It's going there's nice weather out, you know. It's a
- 9:56Speaker 1: nice way to spend the day. I like baseball myself, though.
- 10:00Speaker 1: It's been like my favorite sports since I was a kid,
- 10:02Speaker 1: because I just always liked the statistical aspect of it,
- 10:06Speaker 1: where everything was just like discreet, like, oh, this at
- 10:08Speaker 1: bat can only result in a certain number of possible outcomes.
- 10:12Speaker 1: And I always liked the statistical aspect of it. Uh
- 10:15Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean I have fun at the games, man.
- 10:17Speaker 1: I haven't been to a game this year, though usually
- 10:20Speaker 1: I get out to at least one or two games
- 10:21Speaker 1: a year at this point, but have not done it
- 10:23Speaker 1: this year.
- 10:25Speaker 2: In Boston.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I usually go to Fenway Park at least once Fenway
- 10:29Speaker 1: pac kid Saint Louis at Chicago and Chicago. Even though
- 10:34Speaker 1: they were in a bad spot with no rest yesterday,
- 10:36Speaker 1: they still absolutely wrecked Saint Louis yesterday, eleven to three.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Saint Louis playing some really bad baseball right now. Miles
- 10:44Speaker 1: Michelas gave up six home runs in the game yesterday,
- 10:47Speaker 1: really really ridiculous. But coming up of that, maybe Saint
- 10:52Speaker 1: Louis is gonna be pissed and want to bounce back.
- 10:55Speaker 1: I mean, I thought Saint Louis was gonna be in
- 10:57Speaker 1: a good spot to refocus yesterday.
- 10:59Speaker 2: It didn't happened.
- 11:00Speaker 1: But I mean, there's only so much you can do
- 11:01Speaker 1: when you have one of your weaker starters on the mound. Today,
- 11:05Speaker 1: they do not have a weaker starter on the mound,
- 11:07Speaker 1: which I'll talk about in a second. They have one
- 11:08Speaker 1: of their better starters on the mound today. Yesterday, just
- 11:11Speaker 1: looking at the bullpen usage real quick, there wasn't a
- 11:13Speaker 1: whole lot of bullpen usage for either team. Cubs probably
- 11:17Speaker 1: have the better of the two bullpens, but both kind
- 11:20Speaker 1: of middling bullpens to be honest, so I think there's
- 11:22Speaker 1: not really an advantage one way or the other there.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Libra Torre is pitching for Saint Louis today and he
- 11:27Speaker 1: is one of their better starters. Three point seven ERA,
- 11:30Speaker 1: one point one to six whip Home Road.
- 11:33Speaker 2: He's basically the same either way.
- 11:35Speaker 1: He's been good recently as well, twenty to eight strike
- 11:38Speaker 1: a walk ratio in June, had a bad looking five
- 11:41Speaker 1: point one four ERA, but it was really because he
- 11:43Speaker 1: got inexplicably shelled by Kansas City after a bad start
- 11:47Speaker 1: against Toronto. After that, he has done well in his
- 11:50Speaker 1: last three starts, including against the Cubs, although he did
- 11:54Speaker 1: also face the White Sox in Cleveland and those are
- 11:56Speaker 1: not good offenses. But over his last three starts, I'm
- 12:00Speaker 1: bad except for the fact that he did walk five
- 12:02Speaker 1: guys against Cleveland, which is a little bit concerning. But
- 12:05Speaker 1: he did well against the Cubs, and that's a good offense,
- 12:08Speaker 1: so he was able to hold them. And check problem
- 12:10Speaker 1: with that is the Cubs now just saw him, so
- 12:12Speaker 1: the Cubs are gonna be a little bit more familiar
- 12:15Speaker 1: with in this timeout so that might help the Cubs
- 12:17Speaker 1: offense a little bit this time out, although Libratory in
- 12:20Speaker 1: general does have good numbers against the Cubs. In his
- 12:23Speaker 1: history forty seven at bats, he's sell them to a
- 12:25Speaker 1: two thirteen average, six twenty nine ohps, nine to five
- 12:29Speaker 1: strikeout walker ratio. It's too many walks, but historically he
- 12:33Speaker 1: has done well against the Cubs, even though their offense
- 12:35Speaker 1: is pretty good, and the Cubs are going with a
- 12:37Speaker 1: bullpen game man, So.
- 12:40Speaker 2: I think this does not exactly look great for the Cubs. Here.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Drew Palmerans is listed as their starter.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I mean, he has a zero ERA this year though, Man,
- 12:48Speaker 1: and a point nine whip at thirty six years old.
- 12:51Speaker 1: But he's been coming out of the bullpenal though it's
- 12:53Speaker 1: still pretty ridiculous that he has a zero ERA in
- 12:56Speaker 1: twenty three and a third in he's pitched. He's been
- 13:00Speaker 1: pitching well, but again, he only pitches in short stints,
- 13:02Speaker 1: so you're probably gonna get one inning out of him
- 13:05Speaker 1: and then they're gonna turn it over to the bullpen.
- 13:06Speaker 1: They might bring in like a long relief guy to
- 13:08Speaker 1: try to chew up some innings, but to me, it
- 13:11Speaker 1: doesn't look that great for Chicago here, man, So I'm
- 13:14Speaker 1: probably gonna be leaning towards Saint Louis again here, even
- 13:16Speaker 1: though they've been playing bad, bad baseball and the Cubs
- 13:20Speaker 1: are actually up for minus one sixteen to minus one
- 13:23Speaker 1: forty seven year, despite the fact that it looks like
- 13:25Speaker 1: they're going with a bullpend game, which really doesn't make
- 13:28Speaker 1: any sense to me. Eighty percent of tickets, eighty seven
- 13:30Speaker 1: percent of the cash money coming in on the Cubs.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I just can't really see a reason to agree with that, man.
- 13:36Speaker 1: I think Libratore is preferable over a Cubs bullpen game.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Man.
- 13:40Speaker 1: I mean, that would be my opinion. It's not gonna
- 13:42Speaker 1: be a play that I recommend. The total is way
- 13:44Speaker 1: up too, so we might we must have like wind
- 13:47Speaker 1: blowing out at Wrigley Field, because this is like a
- 13:49Speaker 1: cores Field total here, man, from ten and a half
- 13:53Speaker 1: to eleven, even though Libratore a pretty good pitcher.
- 13:56Speaker 2: That is a high high total.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Seventy percent of tickets only fifty cash on the over though,
- 14:01Speaker 1: so it looks like some of the money might be
- 14:03Speaker 1: coming back on the side of the under there. I
- 14:07Speaker 1: wouldn't want to deal with the total though, because I
- 14:09Speaker 1: could potentially see both teams putting up some runs in
- 14:13Speaker 1: this game. So I'm I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
- 14:15Speaker 1: recommend anything on that game, except that I do have
- 14:19Speaker 1: a slight lean to Saint Louis in my opinion, especially
- 14:21Speaker 1: in the first five NHL. Uh. Well, I mean, I'm
- 14:25Speaker 1: a Boston fan, so I am a Bruins fan, but
- 14:27Speaker 1: I'm not sure I would say they're worth watching because
- 14:30Speaker 1: they've been bad over the last year, so they were
- 14:32Speaker 1: fun to watch prior to this past year. Though, Bruins
- 14:35Speaker 1: are always like a physical team, so they're always pretty
- 14:37Speaker 1: fun to watch. I mean, unfortunately, I would probably say
- 14:41Speaker 1: Florida is actually fun to watch, even though I can't
- 14:45Speaker 1: stand Ka Chuck and I can't stand the fact they
- 14:47Speaker 1: knocked the Bruins out two years in a row. But
- 14:50Speaker 1: they play like kind of a more physical style and
- 14:53Speaker 1: they have a really good like defense and golt and
- 14:56Speaker 1: next they're pretty fun to watch. They got Brad Meyershaw
- 14:59Speaker 1: now in their team. He's coming back next year again.
- 15:01Speaker 1: It looks like so maybe Florida, where do you live hard,
- 15:06Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you should get into your local team, man,
- 15:09Speaker 1: But I tend to not like the like finesse teams,
- 15:12Speaker 1: the pussy teams, which I would kind of classify the
- 15:15Speaker 1: Oilers as a team like that, where they're more just
- 15:17Speaker 1: all scoring and they don't play physical.
- 15:20Speaker 2: I like the more physical teams. Man.
- 15:23Speaker 1: And this year we're gonna have Utah is finally changing
- 15:26Speaker 1: their name over from the Utah Hockey Club, which they
- 15:29Speaker 1: were for one year, which is a hilarious name, to
- 15:31Speaker 1: be honest, they're changing it to I believe they're gonna
- 15:34Speaker 1: be the Mammoth. So the Utah Mammoth the new team,
- 15:38Speaker 1: and they're gonna have some pretty sick branding.
- 15:40Speaker 2: At least.
- 15:42Speaker 1: You're in England interesting, all right, So it's uh, it's
- 15:45Speaker 1: already like getting into the late afternoon.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Where you are there.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Well, so you probably don't want to roof for Boston then, right,
- 15:54Speaker 1: because we we fought you guys off man, we we
- 16:00Speaker 1: we revolted against the British. So I don't know, maybe
- 16:03Speaker 1: you do, maybe you do want Boston though, I mean
- 16:05Speaker 1: Boston as far as like cities go in you know,
- 16:10Speaker 1: in America, Boston is like one of the most European
- 16:13Speaker 1: looking cities, at least in the old section of Boston,
- 16:17Speaker 1: like the North End. It stuffn't Maybe you do, or
- 16:20Speaker 1: maybe because you're European you want to root for one
- 16:22Speaker 1: of the gay Canadian teams.
- 16:24Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you want to root for Montreal, who are
- 16:29Speaker 1: are one of our nemesies. Montreal is actually kind of
- 16:31Speaker 1: fun to watch right now, though, because they're kind of
- 16:33Speaker 1: a young, rebuilding team. I don't know who else do
- 16:37Speaker 1: I kind of like in hockey? I don't even really know, man.
- 16:40Speaker 2: I don't really have.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Many allegiances besides the Bruins in hockey, so it's hard
- 16:44Speaker 1: for me to pick like a team that's not the
- 16:46Speaker 1: Bruins and be like, oh, yeah, like I like this
- 16:49Speaker 1: this other particular team because I really don't have another
- 16:51Speaker 1: team that I feel that way about. So I don't
- 16:54Speaker 1: really know, man, It's difficult. Although I will say Winnipeg,
- 17:00Speaker 1: even though they're a Canadian team, Winnipeg was kind of
- 17:02Speaker 1: fun to watch this year, and they have a really
- 17:03Speaker 1: good goaltender, hell A Book if he comes back. They
- 17:06Speaker 1: do play kind of a more defensive style and they
- 17:08Speaker 1: improve their offense, so they're probably the least egregious of
- 17:12Speaker 1: the Canadian teams at least all right, Anaheim, here you go,
- 17:18Speaker 1: Andrew Anaheim Angels lost in extra innings yesterday against Toronto.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Again.
- 17:23Speaker 1: I will obviously point out that Toronto has the better bullpence.
- 17:26Speaker 1: That's one thing you gotta keep in mind here. Jack
- 17:28Speaker 1: Kohanowitz is pitching for the Angels. Probably not a good
- 17:32Speaker 1: thing for them. Five point four to four ERA, one
- 17:34Speaker 1: point five to six whip. He's been pretty bad both
- 17:37Speaker 1: home and away. It doesn't really matter. He's not pitching
- 17:40Speaker 1: well recently either. Six point three to one ERA and
- 17:43Speaker 1: six starts in June twenty one to eleven strikeout walk ratio.
- 17:47Speaker 1: This guy, I mean, he's not getting the job done.
- 17:50Speaker 1: I kind of thought that he was gonna be a
- 17:51Speaker 1: decent pitcher because he has decent breaking stuff. He's a
- 17:54Speaker 1: tall pitcher. Seemed like it was gonna be kind of
- 17:56Speaker 1: difficult to figure out, like his arm angles. But that
- 17:59Speaker 1: is not really bad in the case. He's been pretty
- 18:01Speaker 1: good against Toronto, but in a very low, very small
- 18:05Speaker 1: sample size, I should say, fourteen at bats held him
- 18:08Speaker 1: to a two to fourteen average four twenty nine oh ps.
- 18:10Speaker 1: So at least Kohanowitz has done well against Toronto in
- 18:14Speaker 1: the past. He's going up against future Hall of Fame
- 18:17Speaker 1: er Max Schurzer, though, who only has pitched a few
- 18:20Speaker 1: times so far this year four point eight five R
- 18:23Speaker 1: but a pretty good one point one five whip. He's
- 18:26Speaker 1: been a little bit better at home four point five R,
- 18:28Speaker 1: but very small sample size so far. He's only made
- 18:31Speaker 1: three starts he came back from injury, and he's made
- 18:34Speaker 1: two starts since then, gonna exactly five innings in each,
- 18:38Speaker 1: eleven strikeouts, three walks, didn't walk anybody last time out
- 18:42Speaker 1: against the Yankees. It's a pretty good sign that shurs
- 18:45Speaker 1: Are just had a pretty decent start against the Yankees.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Good strikeout rate, seven strikeouts in five innings, didn't walk anybody,
- 18:52Speaker 1: only gave up three hits touring runs. So shures Are
- 18:56Speaker 1: seems like he is on track and pitching pretty effectively,
- 19:00Speaker 1: stepping down in class to face this Anaheim offense that
- 19:03Speaker 1: really isn't that good. In eighty at bats he has
- 19:06Speaker 1: a big sample size against me as a ridiculous thirty
- 19:10Speaker 1: three to zero strikeout walk ratio against them.
- 19:13Speaker 2: You usually don't see something like that. Man. Ridiculously hi
- 19:17Speaker 2: k rate and no walks in that amount of at
- 19:20Speaker 2: bats is really ridiculous.
- 19:22Speaker 1: He's tell them there are two twelve average and seven
- 19:24Speaker 1: to thirteen ops. So obviously Surezer has to have the
- 19:28Speaker 1: upper hand here man, even though we don't really know if.
- 19:30Speaker 2: He's totally back yet.
- 19:32Speaker 1: It would probably be Toronto or Pass for me in
- 19:34Speaker 1: this game, because I think they have the better start
- 19:36Speaker 1: or the better bullpen here. They're sitting at minus one
- 19:39Speaker 1: point eighty and probably deservedly so Anaheim also, as I
- 19:43Speaker 1: keep pointing out, like their record looks pretty decent, but
- 19:46Speaker 1: they are a lot worse than the record would indicate.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Their run differential is bad.
- 19:51Speaker 1: They're like minus forty or so runs on the season,
- 19:54Speaker 1: meaning that their opponents have outscored them by that many
- 19:57Speaker 1: runs over the course of the season.
- 19:59Speaker 2: So they are gonna regress record wise.
- 20:02Speaker 1: U seventy six percent tickets, ninety one percent of the
- 20:04Speaker 1: cash coming in on Toronto, so Toronto looks like they
- 20:07Speaker 1: are taking some of the money. The one thing I
- 20:09Speaker 1: will say about Toronto though, I mean, yeah, they're hot
- 20:12Speaker 1: right now. So if you like playing on a hot
- 20:14Speaker 1: team to continue that streak.
- 20:16Speaker 2: I mean, that's one thing.
- 20:17Speaker 1: But I thought they were gonna suffer a letdown after
- 20:19Speaker 1: a crazy sweep against the Yankees. They're two games ahead
- 20:23Speaker 1: of the Yankees after the Yankees lost again yesterday. So
- 20:27Speaker 1: at some point the letdown you'd think is gonna come
- 20:30Speaker 1: into play at some point for Toronto here may not
- 20:33Speaker 1: be here though, just because I do think they have
- 20:34Speaker 1: a big matchup advantage here, so I would not want
- 20:37Speaker 1: to fade them in that spot. A. Yes, I already
- 20:40Speaker 1: showed that comment. Yes England, Yes, all right. Boston my
- 20:44Speaker 1: Red Sox at Washington played an early game yesterday and
- 20:46Speaker 1: Gilito pitched really well for the Red Sox yesterday. Red
- 20:50Speaker 1: Sox had a blowout win yesterday, I think eleven to
- 20:53Speaker 1: two Washington not very good. Red Sox. Some of their
- 20:57Speaker 1: starting pitchers who have been bashing of all started pitching
- 21:00Speaker 1: a lot better, especially Giolito's in pitching really well.
- 21:04Speaker 2: Bao has at least been pitching a little bit better.
- 21:07Speaker 1: One pitcher though, that I don't think is gonna be
- 21:09Speaker 1: pitching any better and definitely is not, is Walker Bueller.
- 21:12Speaker 1: And that's who the Red Sox at pitching today. I
- 21:15Speaker 1: don't think this guy should even still have a job
- 21:17Speaker 1: at this point, man. I mean, I keep pointing out
- 21:21Speaker 1: this guy has never been good since he had like
- 21:24Speaker 1: that multiple Tommy John surgeries or whatever. He has not
- 21:27Speaker 1: been any good for years now since then, so I
- 21:30Speaker 1: don't know why the Red Sox acquired him.
- 21:32Speaker 2: He sucks.
- 21:33Speaker 1: He has a six point four or five ERA, one
- 21:35Speaker 1: point five to eight whip, terrible numbers this year, even
- 21:38Speaker 1: more egregious on the road, an absurd nine point four
- 21:42Speaker 1: to nine roady ra. He's been awful recently, eleven point
- 21:47Speaker 1: oh seven ERA in the month of June, with a
- 21:49Speaker 1: seventeen seventeen strike out walk ratio, seven home runs allowed
- 21:54Speaker 1: allowed at least one in every single start. I mean,
- 21:56Speaker 1: it doesn't get much worse than these numbers, man, Every
- 21:59Speaker 1: single thing about these numbers is just horrific. He didn't
- 22:03Speaker 1: even go past four innings in every start but one,
- 22:08Speaker 1: and the only start that he won against Tampa in June.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Every other start the Red Sox lost, and he didn't
- 22:14Speaker 1: even make it past four innings in any of them. Obviously,
- 22:18Speaker 1: Bueller not pitching well at all. His numbers against Washington
- 22:22Speaker 1: are actually not bad though in thirty one at bats
- 22:24Speaker 1: he sell them a two to fifty eight average six
- 22:26Speaker 1: thirty six ohps seven to one strike a walk ratio.
- 22:29Speaker 1: But can we trust Bueller at all with the way
- 22:31Speaker 1: that he's pitching right now, Bueller, I would say, no,
- 22:35Speaker 1: we cannot. He's up against Mitchell Parker, who hasn't been
- 22:39Speaker 1: doing that great either. Four point six y three ERA,
- 22:42Speaker 1: one point three to five whip. He's better at home
- 22:45Speaker 1: though three point seven eight home ERA. He's been better
- 22:49Speaker 1: than Bueller recently, at least so the four point six
- 22:52Speaker 1: ERA in the month of June twenty two to ten
- 22:54Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio. It's still too many walks over
- 22:57Speaker 1: his last couple of starts, a four to five strike
- 22:59Speaker 1: a walkcker ratio is not good, but his team did
- 23:01Speaker 1: win both of those starts. He went at least five
- 23:04Speaker 1: innings in both of them and allowed exactly three runs
- 23:06Speaker 1: in each. So Parker is at least kind of pitching
- 23:09Speaker 1: more respectably than Bueller is, and the Red Sox have
- 23:15Speaker 1: actually never faced him. So when you get a young
- 23:17Speaker 1: guy like this that has okay stuff, a lot of
- 23:20Speaker 1: times they can fool the opposing hitters early on because
- 23:23Speaker 1: the opposing hitters don't know what to expect out of them.
- 23:25Speaker 1: So I think you got to lean to Washington in
- 23:27Speaker 1: this game, or not play the game. I'm not recommending
- 23:30Speaker 1: this as a play, but I think that's probably the
- 23:33Speaker 1: lean that I would have Bueller.
- 23:35Speaker 2: I mean, I just don't see any reason to like
- 23:37Speaker 2: this guy.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Though the Red Sox have fifty three percent of the tickets,
- 23:40Speaker 1: it's sixty two percent of the cash, So the money
- 23:43Speaker 1: looks like it is coming in on the Red Sox,
- 23:44Speaker 1: which is crazy. Washington down for minus one fifteen to
- 23:48Speaker 1: minus one oh seven. If you do like Washington, it's
- 23:50Speaker 1: a pretty cheap price on Washington. I just don't know
- 23:52Speaker 1: if we can necessarily trust Parker, and you know, Washington's
- 23:56Speaker 1: bulk and is terrible, So if you do like Washington,
- 23:58Speaker 1: maybe you limit it to the first five innings on
- 24:01Speaker 1: the money line there might make more sense. The total
- 24:03Speaker 1: is pretty high as well, up from nine and a
- 24:05Speaker 1: half to ten, which kind of makes sense expecting both
- 24:08Speaker 1: starters to maybe not be that great. And of course
- 24:11Speaker 1: Washington's bullpens specifically is bad. Red Sox bullpen pretty mediocre,
- 24:15Speaker 1: so I could see an over happening in this game
- 24:18Speaker 1: as well, even though I know yesterday's game was high
- 24:20Speaker 1: scoring as well. Eighty eight percent of tickets eighty four
- 24:23Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the over, so it looks
- 24:26Speaker 1: like the money is kind of disagreeing with the over
- 24:28Speaker 1: a little bit, and both bullpens didn't get a lot
- 24:30Speaker 1: of usage yesterday. But probably that's the way that I
- 24:33Speaker 1: would look based on those starting pitchers. You know, you
- 24:35Speaker 1: don't want to over way the starting pitchers, like weigh
- 24:38Speaker 1: them too heavily, but it is what it is, man,
- 24:41Speaker 1: I mean, they still do have to factor into a
- 24:43Speaker 1: pretty large extent. Cincinnati my only win that I gave
- 24:47Speaker 1: out on the show yesterday at Philadelphia. Of course, Cincinnati
- 24:50Speaker 1: got the win yesterday. Neither bullpen is very good. Both
- 24:53Speaker 1: bullpens had to get used yesterday, so both bullpens are
- 24:57Speaker 1: in a pretty bad spot here.
- 24:59Speaker 2: Nick Loduhl is gonna be pitching for Cincinnati.
- 25:01Speaker 1: Three point five to two ERA, one point one five
- 25:05Speaker 1: whip pretty good numbers. He's actually better on the road
- 25:07Speaker 1: as well, with a two point three to one road ERA.
- 25:10Speaker 1: He's been okay over the last month or so. In June,
- 25:13Speaker 1: Cincinnati won four of his five starts twenty five to six,
- 25:17Speaker 1: strikeout walk ratio a little bit high four point six
- 25:19Speaker 1: eighty RA though, mostly because he had one weird bad
- 25:23Speaker 1: start against Cleveland.
- 25:24Speaker 2: But since then he's been pretty good along two or
- 25:27Speaker 2: fewer earned.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Runs and three straight starts, so that he didn't make
- 25:30Speaker 1: it five innings against the Yankees, but was still at
- 25:32Speaker 1: least effective.
- 25:33Speaker 2: When he was in there.
- 25:35Speaker 1: Has okay numbers against Philadelphia seventy six at bats, two
- 25:38Speaker 1: sixty three average, seven to twenty ops, twenty seven to
- 25:41Speaker 1: seven strike out walk ratio. Philadelphia a very good offense.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Ludolo has done okay against them, but he's up against
- 25:49Speaker 1: ron Your Suarez, who's really having a good season to
- 25:52Speaker 1: ERA one whip of nice even numbers there on those.
- 25:57Speaker 1: Suarez a little bit worse at home though, or signific
- 26:00Speaker 1: deificantly worse actually three point three four home ERA.
- 26:04Speaker 2: But he is in really good for him right now.
- 26:06Speaker 1: He had a one point three ERA in June, thirty
- 26:09Speaker 1: six to seven strike out walk ratio. He's only given
- 26:13Speaker 1: up more than one ear and run once going all
- 26:15Speaker 1: the way back to mid May, which is crazy. So
- 26:19Speaker 1: Suare is definitely in good form right now. Not a
- 26:23Speaker 1: guy that I would want to fade right now, even
- 26:24Speaker 1: like based on his career stats, as I talked about
- 26:27Speaker 1: last year, he had a hot start to last season.
- 26:29Speaker 1: I was like, oh, he's gonna regress a little bit,
- 26:31Speaker 1: which he did, but he is pitching really well right now,
- 26:34Speaker 1: and I see no reason I think that's gonna not
- 26:36Speaker 1: continue at this point. Good numbers against the Reds as
- 26:40Speaker 1: well in twenty at bats two hundred average allowed, no
- 26:43Speaker 1: extra base hits, five point thirty three oh ps, five
- 26:46Speaker 1: to four strike out walk ratio is not great, but
- 26:49Speaker 1: all the rest of his number is very good. U
- 26:51Speaker 1: So I think Philly probably in a bounce back spot
- 26:53Speaker 1: after losing yesterday. I think they have the better starting
- 26:56Speaker 1: pitcher on the mound. Slight lean to Philly here, throw
- 26:59Speaker 1: up for my one sixty five one to sixty nine.
- 27:01Speaker 1: There are the better team with the better offense, even
- 27:03Speaker 1: though they're bullpend probably not as good, but Cincinnati's bullpen
- 27:07Speaker 1: isn't good either. Eighty nine percent to take is ninety
- 27:09Speaker 1: eight percent of the cash coming in on Philly, So
- 27:12Speaker 1: it does look like even though they're public, the money
- 27:14Speaker 1: seems to be kind of agreeing with the public.
- 27:16Speaker 2: In this case, I don't really disagree with it. The
- 27:20Speaker 2: money coming into the over as well.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Total is flip from eight and a half juice to
- 27:24Speaker 1: the over to eight and a half juice to the
- 27:26Speaker 1: excuse me, from the juice to the under.
- 27:27Speaker 2: To juice to the over.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Fifty two percent take is ninety seven percent of the
- 27:31Speaker 1: cash coming into the over. I don't know that I
- 27:34Speaker 1: would agree with that necessarily. I mean, you are getting
- 27:37Speaker 1: at least the benefit of the bullpends not being in
- 27:39Speaker 1: good shape, so at least that does help for the over.
- 27:42Speaker 1: But Suarez looks like he's probably gonna deal in this game,
- 27:45Speaker 1: So I would be hesitant to look towards an over
- 27:48Speaker 1: in that game for that reason. If you do, you
- 27:50Speaker 1: gotta go full game because you definitely want to include
- 27:52Speaker 1: the bullpens in that one if you do that. And
- 27:55Speaker 1: by the way, OPS, because I never really specify OPS
- 27:58Speaker 1: is on base percent plus slugging percentage, so basically it
- 28:02Speaker 1: factors in walks and extra base hits. Basically as far
- 28:06Speaker 1: as like how well is this hit bat or really
- 28:09Speaker 1: batting right against this pitcher? Like it's not just batting average,
- 28:12Speaker 1: includes is this guy drawing walks?
- 28:14Speaker 2: Is he hitting it hard? You know? And getting extra
- 28:16Speaker 2: base hits.
- 28:17Speaker 1: So it's a decent metric to look at Baltimore at Atlanta.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Baltimore actually got the win yesterday with Charlie Morton on
- 28:24Speaker 1: the mound, a game I talked about yesterday. Morton's still
- 28:27Speaker 1: pitching pretty well, crazy to think about, and pitched well
- 28:30Speaker 1: against the team that got rid of him, and maybe
- 28:33Speaker 1: Baltimore actually is the upper hand in this game too,
- 28:35Speaker 1: even though I really do not like Baltimore's bulp and
- 28:38Speaker 1: bad bullpen, but Atlanta's bullpen's not terrific and Atlanta is
- 28:43Speaker 1: going with a bulp end game here, So if you
- 28:46Speaker 1: do like Baltimore, I mean, I don't necessarily hate a
- 28:48Speaker 1: full game play on this. Dan Kreamer is pitching for Baltimore,
- 28:52Speaker 1: and I like to you know, I like to trash
- 28:55Speaker 1: this guy.
- 28:55Speaker 2: He's not very good.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Four point two seventy RA, one point two to nine
- 28:58Speaker 1: whip umbers are getting better. Yes, he's been worse on
- 29:02Speaker 1: the road, significantly worse, so you do have to worry
- 29:05Speaker 1: about that. Five point four nine and roadyra not good,
- 29:08Speaker 1: but his recent pitching has actually been good. In June
- 29:12Speaker 1: last five starts three point three ERA twenty seven to
- 29:15Speaker 1: seven strike out walk ratio, he actually has been pitching well,
- 29:18Speaker 1: and he's allowed one or fewer eared runs in his
- 29:20Speaker 1: last three starts with good strike out walk numbers as well.
- 29:25Speaker 1: What is that seventeen to four strike a walk ratio
- 29:28Speaker 1: of those including a decent start against the Yankees, two
- 29:31Speaker 1: starts against Tampa, so maybe he just matches up well
- 29:34Speaker 1: against Tampa. But Creamer is pitching a little bit better
- 29:37Speaker 1: right now. Numbers against the Braves are not that great though,
- 29:40Speaker 1: in twenty two at bats a pretty high three eighteen
- 29:42Speaker 1: average although a mediocre seven eighteen ops, hasn't allowed any
- 29:47Speaker 1: extra base hits and two strikeouts three walks. So overall, Creamer,
- 29:53Speaker 1: I mean, he is pitching well right now, and I
- 29:55Speaker 1: think he's probably the better way to look over Aaron
- 29:58Speaker 1: Bummer being listed as a starter for Atlanta. Let me
- 30:00Speaker 1: just make sure that's actually accurate, is it? Uh? Yeah,
- 30:03Speaker 1: So Atlanta's going with a bullpend game here man. Bummer
- 30:06Speaker 1: does have good numbers two point eight sixty RA a
- 30:09Speaker 1: one point one to eight whip. But I think it
- 30:11Speaker 1: might be a bummer to the Atlanta fans here man,
- 30:13Speaker 1: because you know, he's not gonna go more than like
- 30:15Speaker 1: a couple of innings here, probably, which is what he's
- 30:18Speaker 1: been doing because he's been a relief pitcher all year.
- 30:20Speaker 1: So he's probably just gonna open the game, throw a
- 30:23Speaker 1: couple of innings, and then Atlanta's going with the bullpend.
- 30:26Speaker 1: So Atlanta's bullpen's gonna be in this game early.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Sometimes the bullpen game can work, and it can throw
- 30:31Speaker 1: off an opposing offense because they have to keep facing
- 30:34Speaker 1: different pictures and they can't get used to every picture,
- 30:37Speaker 1: especially in an inter league game where they're not as
- 30:39Speaker 1: familiar with some of these pictures. But I'm still not
- 30:41Speaker 1: sure that I love it.
- 30:42Speaker 2: Man.
- 30:43Speaker 1: I'm not sure that I love Creamer either, So I'm
- 30:46Speaker 1: kind of leaning towards an over in this game more
- 30:48Speaker 1: than anything else. It total is down from ten to nine,
- 30:50Speaker 1: but we do see sixty three percent of the tickets
- 30:52Speaker 1: eighty on the under, but eighty four percent of the
- 30:55Speaker 1: cash in the over money actually coming in on Atlanta,
- 30:57Speaker 1: which I don't really agree with. Up for one twenty
- 30:59Speaker 1: seven to minus one fifty ticket, seventy four percent of
- 31:03Speaker 1: the cash coming in on Atlanta, so they are taking
- 31:05Speaker 1: the money. The one thing I will say is that
- 31:07Speaker 1: Atlanta is probably still better than their bad record looks,
- 31:11Speaker 1: and they are a bit better at home, I'm pretty sure,
- 31:13Speaker 1: So at least you have that going forward if you
- 31:15Speaker 1: like Atlanta.
- 31:17Speaker 2: I'm I'm just old school man. I don't like bullpen games.
- 31:20Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you got to adapt to what is
- 31:23Speaker 1: happening in baseball now. But I still don't love bullpen games,
- 31:26Speaker 1: and Atlanta's bullpen's not that great. But the money looks
- 31:29Speaker 1: like it's disagreeing with that, but it looks like it
- 31:31Speaker 1: is agreeing with the over, So I think it over
- 31:33Speaker 1: could make sense in that one. Maybe Creamer still won't
- 31:36Speaker 1: do that well here, even though he's been in decent
- 31:38Speaker 1: form Milwaukee at Miami. I'm gonna give out a play
- 31:41Speaker 1: on this one. I know the price is getting a
- 31:43Speaker 1: bit high, especially for a road team here on Milwaukee
- 31:47Speaker 1: as an under as a road favorite, excusing it minus
- 31:50Speaker 1: one forty two, but I think you got I mean,
- 31:53Speaker 1: I think they have every advantage in this game, man,
- 31:55Speaker 1: even including in the bullpen, where Milwaukee doesn't have a
- 31:58Speaker 1: good bullpen, but Miami's is one of the few that's
- 32:01Speaker 1: even worse than Milwaukee's is. So I like Milwaukee wherever
- 32:06Speaker 1: it is here. I like the pitching match for where
- 32:08Speaker 1: the hell are they? I'm looking at Interleague right now
- 32:11Speaker 1: here they are a Milwaukee up for minus one thirty
- 32:14Speaker 1: five to minus one thirty eight on the money coming
- 32:15Speaker 1: in against them, which is worrying.
- 32:17Speaker 2: Me a little bit.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Seventy seven percent of tickets, only fifty four percent of
- 32:20Speaker 1: the cash.
- 32:20Speaker 2: You can probably get better.
- 32:24Speaker 1: You could probably get probably get a better number on
- 32:26Speaker 1: Milwaukee right now.
- 32:28Speaker 2: The minus one forty two.
- 32:29Speaker 1: I don't like that the public is fading Milwaukee here,
- 32:32Speaker 1: but I think it's a spot to play Milwaukee.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Here, man. I mean, Miami not a good team.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Their hot streak is kind of over after these last
- 32:39Speaker 1: couple of losses. They lost in dramatic fashion yesterday against
- 32:42Speaker 1: the Brewers. I mean the Brewers are fighting right now, man,
- 32:46Speaker 1: I mean they're in the playoff hunt right now.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Miami.
- 32:49Speaker 1: I know Miami was fighting to kind of get back
- 32:51Speaker 1: on track, but I don't think Miami thinks they're going
- 32:53Speaker 1: anywhere here on. Milwaukee did use some of their higher
- 32:56Speaker 1: leverage relief pitchers yesterday. Worries me a little bit, but
- 32:59Speaker 1: I mean, Island's bullpen's not good, man, and they use
- 33:01Speaker 1: a couple of their better relievers too, So I'm still
- 33:04Speaker 1: kind of okay with going with Milwaukee here full game.
- 33:08Speaker 2: You could also go first five innings.
- 33:09Speaker 1: I think that's fine, but I like the starting pitching
- 33:12Speaker 1: matchup man with Chad Patrick. I mean he's kind of
- 33:14Speaker 1: getting overlooked, especially because miss Yerowski is there now. But
- 33:17Speaker 1: Patrick is having a decent rookie season three point five
- 33:21Speaker 1: to one ERA, one point three to two WHIP. Yeah,
- 33:23Speaker 1: he's been worse on the road four point four ERA,
- 33:26Speaker 1: but the Marlins have a pretty pitcher friendly park and
- 33:28Speaker 1: he has him pitching decently as of late, with a
- 33:31Speaker 1: really high strikeout right thirty six strikeouts and twenty six
- 33:34Speaker 1: innings over June. I know, Milwaukee lost every one of
- 33:37Speaker 1: his starts that is concerned, and they lost five straight
- 33:40Speaker 1: starts of his His walk number is too high eleven walks,
- 33:44Speaker 1: but it's kind of gone down a little bit over
- 33:46Speaker 1: his last three starts where he has a twenty two
- 33:49Speaker 1: to five strikeout walk ration and win at least five
- 33:51Speaker 1: innings and all those starts, so that's a little bit
- 33:54Speaker 1: less concerning, especially with nine strikeouts eight strikeouts in the
- 33:57Speaker 1: last two games, even though they were against bad offenses
- 34:00Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in Colorado. But guess what, Miami is also a
- 34:03Speaker 1: bad offense in Miami has never seen Patrick.
- 34:06Speaker 2: And when you have a young.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Guy that could strike hitters out like this and the
- 34:10Speaker 1: hitters have never seen that pitcher before, I like going
- 34:13Speaker 1: with that young starting pitcher man that has good stuff
- 34:16Speaker 1: against the hitters that have to figure him out. So
- 34:18Speaker 1: we're gonna go with Chad Patrick here. He's up against
- 34:21Speaker 1: cal Quantra, who's been around for a long time. Five
- 34:24Speaker 1: point four to two ERA, one point four to one whip.
- 34:26Speaker 1: He's obviously the inferior of the two pitchers. Yes, he
- 34:29Speaker 1: is a little bit better at home, but four point
- 34:31Speaker 1: nine one ERA still is not great. He's been very
- 34:34Speaker 1: mediocre recently. Yes, Miami has won his last three starts
- 34:37Speaker 1: four point five sixty RA in June over five starts
- 34:40Speaker 1: eighteen to six strike a walk ratium.
- 34:43Speaker 2: And yeah, he actually pitched okay in those.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Starts, including against Philadelphia and Arizona, so he did face
- 34:48Speaker 1: some good offenses. When Milwaukee is also a good offense,
- 34:51Speaker 1: that is a huge advantage that Milwaukee has in this game.
- 34:54Speaker 1: They have a way better offense in Milwaukee has been
- 34:56Speaker 1: one of the best scoring teams on the road this year.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Some Milwaukee has been a good team to play on
- 35:02Speaker 1: the road, so we get that advantage as well. Quantrell
- 35:06Speaker 1: I just don't think he can keep this up, man,
- 35:08Speaker 1: And in two of those last three starts he didn't
- 35:10Speaker 1: even make it five innings. So quandrill doesn't get you
- 35:13Speaker 1: deep into the game. It's almost certain Miami's bullpen's gonna
- 35:16Speaker 1: be in this game, and they might be the first
- 35:18Speaker 1: bullpen to come into the game. And they're not a
- 35:20Speaker 1: very good bullpen, so that's gonna help. If that's the case.
- 35:24Speaker 2: We're gonna go with Milwaukee in this game.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Man. I just think I like playing on these young
- 35:28Speaker 1: pitchers that haven't been seen before in some of these cases,
- 35:31Speaker 1: I don't love fading the market. Reading well, though, let
- 35:33Speaker 1: me look up. Let's see what Action Network is telling
- 35:36Speaker 1: me about this one. I mean Action Network might also
- 35:39Speaker 1: be kind of in disagreement on this one too, man,
- 35:43Speaker 1: But I just think it's a pitching mismatch, man, And
- 35:45Speaker 1: when I see that, I'm like, yeah, I kind of
- 35:47Speaker 1: just want to just jump in on it. Sometimes maybe
- 35:49Speaker 1: I just don't have any control.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:51Speaker 1: Action Network is showing the money going against Milwaukee as well,
- 35:55Speaker 1: so again I am a little bit worried about that.
- 35:56Speaker 1: But sometimes I fade the market and I do well.
- 36:00Speaker 1: So we're gonna go with Milwaukee at a money line price,
- 36:02Speaker 1: or if you want to go run line, I think
- 36:04Speaker 1: that's fine as well. Nancy, Thanks for hanging out what's
- 36:06Speaker 1: up everybody's xerox?
- 36:08Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for hanging out.
- 36:10Speaker 1: This is gonna be another long video man trying to
- 36:12Speaker 1: go through all these baseball games here. I'm taking some
- 36:17Speaker 1: risks today, I think with a couple of these plays.
- 36:19Speaker 1: Here we have the Subway Series New York, New York. Here,
- 36:22Speaker 1: the Mets took game one yesterday. I believe the Mets
- 36:26Speaker 1: did use a lot of their bullpen in this game though,
- 36:29Speaker 1: And of course I'm not crying about the Yankees losing,
- 36:32Speaker 1: so actually the Yankees used more of their bullpen, so
- 36:35Speaker 1: my mistake. The Mets actually got a decent amount of
- 36:38Speaker 1: innings from Hagenman yesterday, so the Mets bullpend in better
- 36:42Speaker 1: shape here. And even though they've been struggling recently, the
- 36:45Speaker 1: Mets bullpen probably is still the better one over the
- 36:47Speaker 1: Yankees bullpen. They're both mediocre bullpens. Starting pitcher probably.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Goes to New York. Well, New York, they're both New York.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Probably goes to the Yankees here though, where I think
- 36:58Speaker 1: Redon is the better of the two starterists here. I mean,
- 37:00Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going out on a limb there.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Two point nine to five ERA one whip for Redon
- 37:06Speaker 1: two point six seventy r in the road.
- 37:08Speaker 2: He's been quite good on the road over the last month.
- 37:12Speaker 1: His walk numbers are pretty bad though, three point seven
- 37:14Speaker 1: to one ERA pretty good, but thirty three to eleven
- 37:17Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio is not that great, and the
- 37:20Speaker 1: Yankees were kind of struggling in his games man They
- 37:22Speaker 1: only won two of the six games he started, so
- 37:25Speaker 1: Redon is starting to pitch a little bit less well, although.
- 37:28Speaker 2: He is having a good season.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Matts have a good offense, a Redon kind of mediocre
- 37:33Speaker 1: numbers against them, and seventy five at bats two fifty
- 37:36Speaker 1: three average pretty good, but seven eighty seven opens not
- 37:39Speaker 1: as good, sixteen to nine strike a walk ratio not
- 37:42Speaker 1: really that good, and he's given up four home runs
- 37:45Speaker 1: to them. Lindor has two of the four, even though
- 37:47Speaker 1: he's only ten for thirty eight four to four strike
- 37:50Speaker 1: a walk ratio for lind'or. So maybe player prop potential
- 37:54Speaker 1: with Lindor still on that one. I like hits plus
- 37:56Speaker 1: runs pus RBIs if you do player props, because the
- 37:59Speaker 1: walk still count for something. Potentially, if you do that,
- 38:03Speaker 1: you can still get a runner an RBI. So Radon
- 38:06Speaker 1: maybe not the best team for him to be facing here,
- 38:09Speaker 1: and he's not really in the best form right now,
- 38:12Speaker 1: but he's going up against Frankie Montas, so I don't
- 38:15Speaker 1: really like six ERA one point five to six with
- 38:18Speaker 1: He hasn't pitched a lot this year, though he does
- 38:20Speaker 1: have a zero ERA at home, but he's only made
- 38:22Speaker 1: like three starts so far, actually two starts, excuse me,
- 38:25Speaker 1: and the Mets have lost both of those starts. He
- 38:28Speaker 1: gave up zero runs to Atlanta in the first start,
- 38:31Speaker 1: but last start he got wrecked by Pittsburgh, which is
- 38:33Speaker 1: not a good sign. Giving up six runs to Pittsburgh.
- 38:36Speaker 1: Even though he does have a ten to four streke
- 38:39Speaker 1: a walk ratio, that is still too many walks. So
- 38:42Speaker 1: though he only walked one guy against Pittsburgh, but you
- 38:44Speaker 1: give up six runs to Pittsburgh, that's not a good sign.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Although Montas somehow.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Actually has good numbers in his career against the Yankees,
- 38:52Speaker 1: in forty two at bats, he's on to a one
- 38:54Speaker 1: to ninety average, six ninety six ops, fourteen to six
- 38:58Speaker 1: streke a walk ratio. I just don't think the Montas
- 39:02Speaker 1: is really in good format, and I actually think neither
- 39:04Speaker 1: pitcher is in great form here. So I'm kind of
- 39:07Speaker 1: looking over as the way to look at this game. Uh,
- 39:10Speaker 1: seventy two percent of tickets, only fifty three percent of
- 39:12Speaker 1: the ASH on the over though the total kind of
- 39:16Speaker 1: going on the money kind of coming in on the under.
- 39:18Speaker 1: As far as it's total under nine here, I don't
- 39:21Speaker 1: really agree with that. I could see this game going
- 39:22Speaker 1: over again here. I mean, I don't love the situation
- 39:25Speaker 1: for either bullpen. I don't think either starting pitcher is
- 39:29Speaker 1: really that great coming into this. The money is also
- 39:32Speaker 1: coming in on the Mets. By the way, Yankees. You're
- 39:34Speaker 1: always pretty much paying its acts for the Yankees, and
- 39:36Speaker 1: they're a road favorite here. I think probably the sentiment
- 39:40Speaker 1: is that, well, even though Montas isn't that good, he
- 39:43Speaker 1: does match up decently against the Yankees. Potentially, it looks
- 39:46Speaker 1: like at least historically, and I think probably the feeling
- 39:49Speaker 1: from the professional betters is just that the Mets are
- 39:52Speaker 1: still a pretty good team, man, and they really just
- 39:53Speaker 1: shouldn't be an underdog like this at home. Eighty three
- 39:56Speaker 1: percent of tickets, only seventy eight percent of the ASH
- 39:58Speaker 1: on the Yankees, who are down minus one forty to
- 40:01Speaker 1: minus one thirty five on the money line. So it
- 40:04Speaker 1: does look like the Mets are a fade the public
- 40:07Speaker 1: play in that game. I'm not gonna recommend to play
- 40:10Speaker 1: on it though, Hinchy, what's up? Thanks everybody for hanging
- 40:13Speaker 1: out hard again. Yes, thanks everybody. All right, we got
- 40:20Speaker 1: Kansas City at Arizona. Kansas City actually scored runs yesterday
- 40:23Speaker 1: and won the game nine to three. Arizona bad stretch
- 40:28Speaker 1: of their last three games, and Arizona They're pitching is bad,
- 40:32Speaker 1: Their bullpen is bad. Things are not looking good for
- 40:35Speaker 1: Arizona right now. Kansas City very clearly has the better
- 40:38Speaker 1: bullpend here as far as the starting pitching, maybe not
- 40:43Speaker 1: as much of an advantage though Michael walk I mean,
- 40:45Speaker 1: he has been consistent three point six two ERA, one
- 40:48Speaker 1: point two six went for Kansas City. He's been worse
- 40:51Speaker 1: on the road though, four point five to three roadyr.
- 40:53Speaker 1: And he's facing a good Arizona offense, because at least
- 40:56Speaker 1: Arizona still has a good offense and this is a
- 40:59Speaker 1: very friendly park in Arizona.
- 41:02Speaker 2: Walka had a five point four.
- 41:04Speaker 1: ERA in June, which is not very good, but a
- 41:05Speaker 1: twenty five to eight strike at walk Ratio isn't that bad.
- 41:08Speaker 1: But he's been giving him a lot of hard hits.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Man.
- 41:10Speaker 1: He gave up six home runs over those five starts.
- 41:13Speaker 1: Kansas City lost four of the five athough, of course
- 41:15Speaker 1: they can't hit, so that's one part of the problem.
- 41:18Speaker 1: But Waka did give up three or more runs and
- 41:21Speaker 1: all but one of those starts. That is a little
- 41:23Speaker 1: bit concerning, And he faced some kind of mediocre to
- 41:26Speaker 1: bad offenses during that stretch. So Waka doesn't look like
- 41:29Speaker 1: he's in the greatest form right now, and his numbers
- 41:32Speaker 1: are not good against Arizona. In eighty nine at bats,
- 41:35Speaker 1: a three point fifteen average allowed, eight thirty eight ops,
- 41:39Speaker 1: seventeen to four strike a walk ratio is pretty good,
- 41:41Speaker 1: but Arizona hits him hard, and especially Suarez. Suarez does
- 41:45Speaker 1: most of the damage player prop potential there for sure,
- 41:48Speaker 1: fifteen to thirty six, three doubles, two of them run,
- 41:51Speaker 1: seven RBIs, three walks, seven strikeouts, walk them. I just
- 41:56Speaker 1: don't think matches up particularly well. Ryan Nelson is pitching
- 41:59Speaker 1: for Arizona, and I keep bashing this guy, but he's
- 42:02Speaker 1: pitching well. So I don't know what to do with
- 42:05Speaker 1: this guy. Three point six to one ERA, one point
- 42:07Speaker 1: oh two whip. He's actually pitching well. He's been better
- 42:10Speaker 1: at home too, with a two point three to three ERA,
- 42:13Speaker 1: so he has the advantage of the splits here. Over
- 42:16Speaker 1: the last month three point nine one ERA. Arizona won
- 42:19Speaker 1: his last four starts twenty four to ten strike a walker,
- 42:23Speaker 1: he show's definitely too many walks. But he hasn't pitching well
- 42:26Speaker 1: in his last four starts. He's allowed two or fewer
- 42:29Speaker 1: earned runs in all four against some not great offenses,
- 42:34Speaker 1: but a couple of ok offenses San Diego, Toronto and
- 42:37Speaker 1: then bad offenses in the White Sox and the Giants.
- 42:40Speaker 1: But he is pitching well, and of course the Royals
- 42:42Speaker 1: are a bad offense. But Nelson's numbers against the Royals
- 42:45Speaker 1: in his history are really bad. In thirty two at bats,
- 42:48Speaker 1: he's a lot of four to thirty eight average to
- 42:50Speaker 1: them in nine eighty six ops. So if you're a
- 42:54Speaker 1: guy like me who is expecting Ryan Nelson to have
- 42:57Speaker 1: some sort of regression at some point based on his
- 42:59Speaker 1: career numbers, maybe it's gonna happen here. But he is
- 43:04Speaker 1: still young twenty seven, so it is still possible that
- 43:06Speaker 1: Nelson is just becoming a better picture. I find that
- 43:10Speaker 1: to be a little bit unlikely with Arizona though, because
- 43:13Speaker 1: it seems like Arizona is basically where pitchers are going
- 43:15Speaker 1: to die right now. So I don't know, but his
- 43:17Speaker 1: numbers are really bad against the Royals, even though the
- 43:20Speaker 1: Royals are.
- 43:21Speaker 2: A bad offense. So I'm probably looking over in this
- 43:24Speaker 2: game as well.
- 43:25Speaker 1: We have seventy nine percent of tickets and cash on
- 43:27Speaker 1: the over total up a little bit from eight and
- 43:29Speaker 1: a half to nine, probably the way that I would look,
- 43:32Speaker 1: and Arizona is taking some of the money. I don't
- 43:33Speaker 1: really disagree with that, just because Nelson is in better
- 43:37Speaker 1: current form than Waka is, and I think you do
- 43:39Speaker 1: have to weigh that somewhat significantly, seventy one percent of
- 43:42Speaker 1: tickets eighty nine percent of the cash on Arizona sitting
- 43:45Speaker 1: at minus one thirty five as a favorite their stacks,
- 43:48Speaker 1: what's up? So those are my thoughts on that Arizona
- 43:53Speaker 1: game Detroit. Is that Cleveland. Cleveland obviously just playing some
- 43:58Speaker 1: bad baseball here.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Man.
- 43:59Speaker 1: They've lost eight games in a row, losing two to
- 44:02Speaker 1: one yesterday, close game, tough loss to a pretty good
- 44:07Speaker 1: Detroit team. I did mention I leaned under in this game.
- 44:10Speaker 1: A lot of my leans yesterday were correct, Man. We
- 44:13Speaker 1: had a decent performance from both starters.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Yesterday.
- 44:15Speaker 1: Rees Olsen was a little bit limited coming back from injury,
- 44:19Speaker 1: although he was inefficient with his pitches, but still good
- 44:22Speaker 1: performance from him. But Detroit did have to use some
- 44:24Speaker 1: of their better relief pitchers yesterday. Detroit generally has the
- 44:27Speaker 1: better bullpend in my opinion over Cleveland, and I think
- 44:30Speaker 1: numbers wise that bears out as well. But Detroit did
- 44:33Speaker 1: us some of the better relievers. I still probably favored
- 44:36Speaker 1: Detroit's bullpen a little bit, but I don't like Casey Mize,
- 44:39Speaker 1: Detroit's starter here two point eight six ERA one point
- 44:42Speaker 1: two to one whip.
- 44:42Speaker 2: I know, what are you talking about? Toad?
- 44:44Speaker 1: His numbers are really good this year. Yeah, I know,
- 44:47Speaker 1: but just looking at his career stats man, he's twenty eight,
- 44:51Speaker 1: I just don't see how he can continue doing this.
- 44:53Speaker 1: He's the ra is worse on the road three point
- 44:55Speaker 1: five to nine. His numbers were pretty good in June, though,
- 44:59Speaker 1: I have to at two point nine three ERA twenty
- 45:01Speaker 1: four to seven strike a walk ratio over his last
- 45:04Speaker 1: few starts. He only watched one guy over the last
- 45:06Speaker 1: three starts. That's pretty good, and his team won all
- 45:09Speaker 1: three of them facing Pittsburgh and Minnesota, though, and Tampa
- 45:13Speaker 1: Bay is a decent offense, but Pittsburgh Minnesota are definitely not. Cleveland, however,
- 45:18Speaker 1: is not a good offense. Miz has kind of mediocre
- 45:21Speaker 1: numbers against him. In forty one at bats two forty
- 45:24Speaker 1: four average allowed is good, but in eight eighteen ops
- 45:27Speaker 1: he has eleven to seven strike a walk ratio that's
- 45:29Speaker 1: not good. But of course Santana has a ton of
- 45:32Speaker 1: those walks. He has six of them out of the seven.
- 45:35Speaker 1: Santana is a walk machine and he's been around for forever.
- 45:39Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez is three for five with two on runs
- 45:42Speaker 1: off of myes. But still it does mean that the
- 45:44Speaker 1: better hitters of Cleveland has have generally done some damage
- 45:47Speaker 1: against Mez and I don't think Mile is as good
- 45:49Speaker 1: as his numbers look, but he is in decent.
- 45:52Speaker 2: Form right now.
- 45:52Speaker 1: So we have to take all that into account and
- 45:55Speaker 1: logan Allen is pitching for Cleveland and just looking at
- 45:58Speaker 1: what they've done this year, Yeah, Allen is the lesser
- 46:00Speaker 1: of the two pitchers here. Four point two seven ERA,
- 46:03Speaker 1: one point four to nine whip is really bad. You
- 46:06Speaker 1: can't put one and a half guys on base an
- 46:08Speaker 1: inning and get away with it.
- 46:09Speaker 2: Man.
- 46:09Speaker 1: He's basically been similar home in a way it doesn't
- 46:13Speaker 1: really matter. Was basically similar in the month of June
- 46:16Speaker 1: two with a four point three four ERA and twenty
- 46:19Speaker 1: two to nine strike a walk ratio, allowing two, three
- 46:22Speaker 1: or four earned runs in every start. So again, you
- 46:24Speaker 1: kind of know what you're getting out of Allen. Like basically,
- 46:26Speaker 1: he's just consistently mediocre for the most part, although I
- 46:30Speaker 1: do expect for his whip that he should be allowing
- 46:32Speaker 1: more runs than he is. His numbers against Detroit are
- 46:35Speaker 1: not good and thirty seven at bats three twenty four
- 46:37Speaker 1: average allowed one thy, fifty three oh ps, six strikeouts,
- 46:41Speaker 1: seven walks.
- 46:42Speaker 2: That is bad.
- 46:43Speaker 1: Torklsen has done really well against him, three for six
- 46:46Speaker 1: with two doubles and a home run, a walk, no strikeouts.
- 46:50Speaker 1: I just don't think that even though it would be
- 46:53Speaker 1: a fade of the public to fade Detroit, I don't
- 46:55Speaker 1: mind fading Casey miz, but I do not want to
- 46:58Speaker 1: have anything to do with Lowan Allen. Hear him, Detroit's
- 47:01Speaker 1: down for mist one forty one thirty one, eighty seven
- 47:04Speaker 1: percent of tickets, sixty percent of the cash. So the
- 47:07Speaker 1: money looks like it is going against Detroit fading the
- 47:10Speaker 1: public here, but I think the over is probably the
- 47:13Speaker 1: way to look in this game, even though I know
- 47:15Speaker 1: Detroit's bullpen is fairly good, but they did use some
- 47:17Speaker 1: of their better relievers.
- 47:19Speaker 2: I think both starters could struggle here.
- 47:21Speaker 1: I know Cleveland's offense is terrible, but over makes sense
- 47:24Speaker 1: to me in this one total offerm eight and a
- 47:26Speaker 1: half to nine here, So some significant money coming in
- 47:29Speaker 1: on the over market. Agreeing with me on that one
- 47:32Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of tickets eighty two percent of the
- 47:34Speaker 1: cash coming in on the over there, I probably agree
- 47:38Speaker 1: with that. Houston coming off blasting the Dodgers yesterday, Eighteen
- 47:42Speaker 1: to one was the final score in that game. The
- 47:45Speaker 1: Dodgers didn't use too much of their bullpend yesterday because
- 47:48Speaker 1: the game was completely out of hand, so they just
- 47:50Speaker 1: kind of, you know, just threw the game pretty much
- 47:54Speaker 1: and just get ready for the next one. Man, But
- 47:56Speaker 1: Dodgers are going to come into this game probably embarrassed
- 47:59Speaker 1: after that. I mean, any beats you eighteen to one,
- 48:02Speaker 1: you're gonna be pissed off. So initially that had me
- 48:04Speaker 1: thinking Dodgers seem like they might be the way to
- 48:07Speaker 1: look in this game, but looking at the starting pitching matchup,
- 48:10Speaker 1: I'm not sure that I see it.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Man.
- 48:12Speaker 1: The Dodgers obviously have the way better offense than Houston,
- 48:15Speaker 1: so that is certainly something to factor in here. But
- 48:18Speaker 1: I think Houston, I mean, they have the better pitching
- 48:21Speaker 1: in general. They have the better starting pitcher here and
- 48:23Speaker 1: the better bullpen, and la is going with a bullpen
- 48:26Speaker 1: game here, I'm pretty sure. So you got to take
- 48:29Speaker 1: all that into account. Well, Houston actually has one of
- 48:32Speaker 1: their best starters out here. Houston has a few really
- 48:34Speaker 1: good starters. I mean Hunter Brown is their best. But
- 48:36Speaker 1: from ber Valdez is also doing really well, even though
- 48:39Speaker 1: he's fat two point seven to two ERA, one point
- 48:42Speaker 1: one to three whip, having a really good season, a
- 48:45Speaker 1: little bit worse on the road though, three point seven
- 48:47Speaker 1: to eight ERA, and he is facing a really tough
- 48:50Speaker 1: lineup to face.
- 48:51Speaker 2: But Houston has won ten straight starts that Valdez has made.
- 48:55Speaker 1: He's allowed two or fewer earned runs and nine of
- 48:58Speaker 1: the ten and then the other start he allowed three.
- 49:01Speaker 1: He is pitching well, although he started to walk more guys.
- 49:03Speaker 1: He had a one point seven four ERA in five
- 49:06Speaker 1: starts in June, which again Houston won every single one
- 49:09Speaker 1: of them, but thirty five to fifteen stragle walk ratio,
- 49:12Speaker 1: nice strikeout rate with the walk rate went up, although
- 49:15Speaker 1: he allowed no home runs over that entire span. He's
- 49:18Speaker 1: been very consistent at least, so I'm not gonna say
- 49:21Speaker 1: Valdez is in bad form, although his walk.
- 49:24Speaker 2: Numbers going up is a little bit of a concern.
- 49:26Speaker 1: But against the Dodgers, he actually has surprisingly good numbers,
- 49:29Speaker 1: and one hundred and seven at bats he sell him
- 49:31Speaker 1: to a really low one to fifty nine average against
- 49:34Speaker 1: this very talented offense, five eighty ops, thirty six to
- 49:38Speaker 1: twelve stradle walker ratios, too many walks, although Otani has
- 49:42Speaker 1: seven of those walks, but Otani hasn't hit him well.
- 49:44Speaker 1: Otani's five for thirty six off him, So Valdez has
- 49:48Speaker 1: stifled Otani in the past, which is a decent sign Valdez.
- 49:53Speaker 1: I think he does match up pretty well here, man,
- 49:54Speaker 1: so I'm not ready to say that because of his
- 49:56Speaker 1: recent walk problems he's all of a sudden not.
- 49:59Speaker 2: Gonna do well at all.
- 50:00Speaker 1: I think he'll do okay here, and he's going up
- 50:02Speaker 1: against speaking of the devil, Otani is pitching for the
- 50:07Speaker 1: Dodgers year. What are we gonna get out of Otani?
- 50:10Speaker 1: I don't even know, man. He's made three starts so far,
- 50:16Speaker 1: going a total of four innings. He has a two
- 50:18Speaker 1: point two five VR and one whip, which is obviously fine.
- 50:21Speaker 1: He's allowed one run I think, all over that span,
- 50:24Speaker 1: which was in his first outing. But he's not going
- 50:26Speaker 1: deep into games, man, They're just using him for a
- 50:28Speaker 1: few innings or sorry, one or two innings.
- 50:31Speaker 2: Actually, hold on, I gotta switch to his pitching here.
- 50:35Speaker 1: ESPN does not handle guys like Otani well here with
- 50:38Speaker 1: the UI guys that are pitchers and hitters. Of course,
- 50:41Speaker 1: Otani hasn't pitched in a couple of years, and he
- 50:43Speaker 1: just came back and started pitching. He's been okay, three
- 50:46Speaker 1: to one strike a walk ratio. He's made two to
- 50:49Speaker 1: one inning appearances and then a two winning appearance last
- 50:51Speaker 1: time out, but against a very bad Kansas City offense.
- 50:55Speaker 1: Houston's offense is a step up from Washington in Kansas
- 50:58Speaker 1: City in my opinion. But O'sanni. I mean, he's gonna
- 51:01Speaker 1: only probably pitch a couple innings here. Again, maybe they're
- 51:04Speaker 1: working him back. Maybe it'll go about three innings this time,
- 51:07Speaker 1: but still LA is gonna have to give way to
- 51:09Speaker 1: their bullpend here, and their bulpend isn't exactly the greatest really,
- 51:14Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, I kind of have a
- 51:16Speaker 1: lean to Houston in this one, just based on how
- 51:18Speaker 1: the matchup pans out. But the money looks like it's
- 51:21Speaker 1: kind of coming in in LA, even though they are
- 51:22Speaker 1: a little bit public. Sixty one percent tickets but seventy
- 51:25Speaker 1: six percent of the cash coming in on them. They're
- 51:27Speaker 1: down for mine one fifty forty five. The one, I mean,
- 51:31Speaker 1: the couple of reasons, I mean, I already pointed everything out,
- 51:33Speaker 1: but a couple of reasons to lean LA would be
- 51:35Speaker 1: the bounce back spot after an embarrassing loss and Valdez
- 51:39Speaker 1: having his walk numbers increased over the last month. So
- 51:42Speaker 1: those are really kind of the reasons to maybe look
- 51:45Speaker 1: that way, but I'm not so sure that I'm seeing it.
- 51:48Speaker 1: I mean, based on the pitching matchup, I would kind
- 51:50Speaker 1: of lean to Valdez a little bit, given how that
- 51:53Speaker 1: pans out. Uh, the battle of the worst here with
- 51:56Speaker 1: the White Sox and Colorado and the White Sox, I
- 51:58Speaker 1: believe one three to two yesterday one of the lowest
- 52:02Speaker 1: scoring games you'll ever see in chorts Field, which I
- 52:06Speaker 1: pointed that out yesterday, Like the total was so high
- 52:09Speaker 1: in this game yesterday course Field, and I'm like, yeah,
- 52:11Speaker 1: but the offenses are so bad that it might go
- 52:14Speaker 1: under here. Uh, looking at this match up here today,
- 52:17Speaker 1: I mean, we know we're gonna have two bad bullpends here.
- 52:19Speaker 1: White Sox didn't use much of their bultpen yesterday. Howser
- 52:22Speaker 1: actually pitched really well for the White Sox. So the
- 52:26Speaker 1: White Sox bullpend is in better shape here, so they
- 52:28Speaker 1: have Shockingly, the White Sox actually actually have a little
- 52:31Speaker 1: bit of a bullpen edge here. I don't think they
- 52:33Speaker 1: have the starting pitching edge though, with Jonathan Cannon pitching him,
- 52:36Speaker 1: he's not been that good. He's young still, but four
- 52:39Speaker 1: point five to nine ERA, one point four to three
- 52:41Speaker 1: went not good, five point one six road ERA season
- 52:45Speaker 1: worse on the road. He may struggle in courts Field. Man,
- 52:48Speaker 1: and he's only on three innings in his last two starts.
- 52:50Speaker 1: It hasn't been very good. Those were his only two
- 52:53Speaker 1: starts in June. I think he was actually injured or
- 52:55Speaker 1: something between the two where maybe they sent him to
- 52:57Speaker 1: triple A. I don't know, because he made one start
- 52:59Speaker 1: in early June and then one start in late June,
- 53:01Speaker 1: only went three innings in each of them, had a
- 53:04Speaker 1: nine to six strikeout walk ratio on a ninety RA
- 53:07Speaker 1: over that span. He wasn't very good in his last
- 53:09Speaker 1: couple of May starts either, So Canon not in good
- 53:13Speaker 1: form right now man, even though his uh he has
- 53:15Speaker 1: a great pitching name though Cannon the guy should be
- 53:19Speaker 1: throwing like one hundred mile an hour fastballs man, but
- 53:21Speaker 1: unfortunately his name is not apt for who he is.
- 53:25Speaker 1: He has good numbers against Colorado. In a small sample
- 53:27Speaker 1: size twelve at bats, they only have two hits, no
- 53:29Speaker 1: extra base hits, no walks either, one strike out of
- 53:33Speaker 1: one sixty seven average three thirty three ops. Some actually
- 53:36Speaker 1: easy math to do on that one, But I don't
- 53:39Speaker 1: know if we could trust Cannon. He's up against Herman Marquez,
- 53:42Speaker 1: who actually surprisingly he pitches veteran course field and he
- 53:47Speaker 1: actually has been pitching better recently too. As far as
- 53:49Speaker 1: Colorado starters go, he is not the worst at this point.
- 53:52Speaker 1: He was really bad early in the season. His season
- 53:55Speaker 1: numbers are awful five point six two ERA, one point
- 53:58Speaker 1: six whip, but he has a an easier to stomach
- 54:01Speaker 1: four point three to two home e RN. Again, he
- 54:04Speaker 1: actually hit a two point nine to seventy R and
- 54:06Speaker 1: a twenty nine to eight strike a walk race hen
- 54:09Speaker 1: six starts in June, and his team actually won three of.
- 54:12Speaker 2: The six starts. So Marquez has actually.
- 54:14Speaker 1: Been one of the only bright spots in the Rockies
- 54:17Speaker 1: rotation recently. Believe it or not, he actually has been
- 54:20Speaker 1: fairly good over that span, so he's actually pitching fairly well.
- 54:25Speaker 2: He's facing a bad White Sox offense.
- 54:27Speaker 1: Problem is the White Sox have actually hit him well
- 54:29Speaker 1: in the past, and thirty one at bats a three
- 54:31Speaker 1: point fifty five average, one thousand and one OHO six
- 54:34Speaker 1: oh ps six to four strego walk ratio. Taufman is
- 54:37Speaker 1: four for five on the home run off him. That
- 54:40Speaker 1: doesn't look great either. A lot of these White Sox
- 54:43Speaker 1: hitters have had success against Marquez, so the money's coming
- 54:47Speaker 1: in in Colorado here, But I just I can't do it, man.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Even though if you look at recent four Marquez does
- 54:54Speaker 1: get the nod over cannon for the starting pitching matchup,
- 54:56Speaker 1: but his matchup numbers against the White Sox are just
- 54:59Speaker 1: very bad. Rocky is down for my one nineteen to
- 55:02Speaker 1: minus one thirteen, sixty four percent of tickets, eighty percent
- 55:05Speaker 1: of the cash coming in on Colorado though, so the
- 55:07Speaker 1: money is coming into Colorado. Looks like that is kind
- 55:11Speaker 1: of the professional lean in that game. I just don't
- 55:13Speaker 1: think I can do it, man, I don't love it.
- 55:17Speaker 1: Let's go to Texas San Diego. I am going to
- 55:20Speaker 1: give out two more plays here, man, and another one
- 55:22Speaker 1: is a player where I'm gonna fade the market read
- 55:27Speaker 1: but still whatever, and it's not gonna be in this
- 55:29Speaker 1: Texas San Diego game, which, by the way, this is
- 55:31Speaker 1: listed as Corbin against Colic, but I actually think it's,
- 55:34Speaker 1: oh no, it is Corbin now because I was looking
- 55:36Speaker 1: before a pregame actually had it listed as Jack Lighter
- 55:40Speaker 1: against colg But it looks like it is going to
- 55:41Speaker 1: be Corbin.
- 55:42Speaker 2: We do see San Diego.
- 55:43Speaker 1: The money looks like it's fading San Diego in a
- 55:46Speaker 1: pretty big way here. Of course, I took the loss
- 55:49Speaker 1: on Texas yesterday, giving that out on the show. Of course,
- 55:51Speaker 1: I am mentioning that I'm not actually betting right now,
- 55:54Speaker 1: even though betting might go away completely after this year
- 55:57Speaker 1: because of the big beautiful bill, which if you want
- 56:00Speaker 1: to watch my explanation on that, it's at the end
- 56:03Speaker 1: of Wednesday show from this week.
- 56:06Speaker 2: It is a bad situation, man.
- 56:07Speaker 1: It's gonna make professional betting basically untenable because you can't
- 56:11Speaker 1: write off all your losses anymore. So you're gonna get
- 56:14Speaker 1: taxed on money you didn't even win, on money that
- 56:17Speaker 1: you lost, which is bullshit, absolute bullshit. Anyway, it does
- 56:24Speaker 1: look like the money if the money was agreeing with
- 56:26Speaker 1: Texas yesterday and that did not pan out, it's agreeing
- 56:29Speaker 1: with them again today, even though I know San Diego
- 56:31Speaker 1: is better at home, but I don't necessarily disagree with
- 56:34Speaker 1: Texas here in this one either.
- 56:36Speaker 2: Though.
- 56:36Speaker 1: San Diego is down for minus one forty one sixteen
- 56:39Speaker 1: sixty percent of tickets fifty one percent of the cash
- 56:42Speaker 1: on them, so the money coming in against them reverse
- 56:45Speaker 1: line movement against a public San Diego team here. Patrick Korman,
- 56:49Speaker 1: as I mentioned, is going to be pitching for Texas year.
- 56:52Speaker 1: I mean, he's starting to regress, which is what I expected.
- 56:55Speaker 1: He's been a really, really bad pitcher over the last
- 56:57Speaker 1: couple of years. He was pitching well this year for
- 56:59Speaker 1: Texas until recently. His era is up to four point
- 57:02Speaker 1: two six one point three whip. Things are right with
- 57:06Speaker 1: the world. Man when Patrick Corbin is predictably not pitching well,
- 57:10Speaker 1: a four point six to seven road era isn't good,
- 57:12Speaker 1: but San Diego does have a pitcher friendly park a Corbin.
- 57:16Speaker 1: His numbers over the last month. Still, some of the
- 57:19Speaker 1: numbers aren't that bad, even though Texas did lose four
- 57:22Speaker 1: of the five starts. Texas is not a good offense either,
- 57:25Speaker 1: so he's not getting a lot of run support. Yeah,
- 57:27Speaker 1: Corman allowed a lot of runs here. He allowed three
- 57:31Speaker 1: or more in the last four starts. But in June
- 57:34Speaker 1: he did have a twenty four to six strike a
- 57:35Speaker 1: walk ratio, so his strike a walk ratio is actually fine,
- 57:40Speaker 1: but he was giving up a lot of hard contact. Really,
- 57:43Speaker 1: thirty four hits to twenty nine innings was kind of
- 57:45Speaker 1: the problem. He was just giving up too many hits.
- 57:47Speaker 1: Five point two eighty R obviously not good. I'm not
- 57:50Speaker 1: ready to say that Corban is in terrible form right
- 57:53Speaker 1: now because the last couple of starts he did have
- 57:55Speaker 1: a twelve to one strike a walk ratio even though
- 57:58Speaker 1: they lost both games against Baltimore. He's still pitching decently.
- 58:03Speaker 1: As far as his peripherals. San Diego, though, does have
- 58:06Speaker 1: good numbers and a lot of experience against him one
- 58:08Speaker 1: hundred and twenty at bats, eighteen to nine, strike a
- 58:11Speaker 1: walk ratio three to zero, eight average seven to nine
- 58:14Speaker 1: to ups So Cordman has not done well against these
- 58:19Speaker 1: San Diego hitters, so that is.
- 58:20Speaker 2: Kind of a problem. He's up against Stephen.
- 58:22Speaker 1: Coleck, though I don't trust colec Man three point seven
- 58:26Speaker 1: to three ERA one point two for a whip that
- 58:28Speaker 1: all looks good. He's twenty eight, so he's kind of
- 58:31Speaker 1: made a late start to his career. His first major
- 58:35Speaker 1: league appearances were last year for San Diego, all out
- 58:37Speaker 1: of the Bulp, and this year. I think his numbers
- 58:40Speaker 1: are kind of misleading about what he actually is. He's
- 58:42Speaker 1: been really bad at home in the nine point two ERA,
- 58:45Speaker 1: even though it's a pitcher friendly park, so that does
- 58:48Speaker 1: not inspire confidence.
- 58:49Speaker 2: Really.
- 58:49Speaker 1: He did have a three point three eighty RA in
- 58:52Speaker 1: the month of June, but San Diego lost his last
- 58:55Speaker 1: five starts, although granted a lot of it was because
- 58:57Speaker 1: San Diego wasn't hitting. He had only three to eleven
- 59:00Speaker 1: strike out walk ratio with that span, which was not
- 59:03Speaker 1: a high strikeout rate, and it was too high of
- 59:05Speaker 1: a walk rate, so he's kind of walking too many guys.
- 59:08Speaker 1: More recently, he had a couple of those starts where
- 59:10Speaker 1: he didn't even make it five innings, so I'm not
- 59:13Speaker 1: ready to really trust Colek. Texas really hasn't seen much
- 59:16Speaker 1: of him though. Only three hitters have seen him before
- 59:18Speaker 1: and they're only one for three off from Berger has
- 59:21Speaker 1: an RBI single off him and that's it. No strikeouts
- 59:24Speaker 1: and no walks, So I mean, you could kind of
- 59:27Speaker 1: lean to the market read on this. It does look
- 59:29Speaker 1: like a strong market read leaning towards Texas here, but
- 59:32Speaker 1: based on looking at the matchup numbers, it's really hard
- 59:35Speaker 1: to figure out what's gonna happen with either of these
- 59:37Speaker 1: pitchers here.
- 59:37Speaker 2: So I'm gonna stay away. Slow boy, what's up? Man?
- 59:41Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the what is the what is
- 59:43Speaker 2: the O? Slash? Man?
- 59:45Speaker 1: I don't even know what the hell that is?
- 59:47Speaker 2: Is it A? It's not an egg?
- 59:49Speaker 1: Is it? Are you guys? A? Are you guys Raven fans?
- 59:52Speaker 1: What's going on here?
- 59:54Speaker 2: All right? San Francisco?
- 59:55Speaker 1: In the A's you know what? I don't think I
- 59:57Speaker 1: can help myself. I'm gonna fade the market in this
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: one too, and I'm gonna give out the plans on
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: San Francisco. Man, I'm just gonna fade several reno at home.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: I think this is too much of an advantage to
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: San Francisco. They have eighty percent of tickets, only sixty
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: nine percent of the cash, and they're down for minus
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: one seventy to minus one sixty.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: Again.
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: I don't like fading the market very often, man, but
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: we're gonna do it.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: On both of these plays today.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: With these road favorites here that I just think they
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: have a big starting pitching edge and they have a
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: bullpen edge with Milwaukee. I actually think they have a
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: hitting edge as well with the Giants. Obviously they don't.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: The money does look like it's actually agreeing with the
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: Giants on Action Network, so at least we do have
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: that going for us. Let me see what the best
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: number we can get is here on this. Yeah, we're
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: just gonna go money run line on this excuse, and
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: we'll just go San Francisco run line that I know
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: with the San Francisco team that can't and I know
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: it's really dangerous, but at least when they're on the road.
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: At least you can get the full nine innings out
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: of them here.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: But we're gonna go San Francisco. You can find them
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: right there.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: Just basically a spread beat minus one and a half
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: runs at minus one ten.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: I'm gonna recommend it.
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: I know it doesn't look like we should be doing
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: it based on the market, but I mean, look at
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: this matchup, man, I just think that it makes sense
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: to do it, man, and situationally. First of all, the A's,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: even though it was a terrible spot for the A's
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: yesterday and that return home spot, they won eleven to
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: two yesterday. Man, So Sar Francisco they gotta be really
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: embarrassed after that. Man, that was a terrible performance from
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: San Francisco. But even despite that, San Francisco basically saved
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: their bullpen after Verlander did and bitch Web and I
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: mean Verlanders, old man, he's just not doing that well.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: They brought him black to basically save the rest of
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: the bullpen. So San Francisco they have the best bullpen
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: in baseball er wise, and they basically saved all their
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: better relievers here, so their best relievers are all available here.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: So that's a good sign.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: I know, the A's didn't use really any of their
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: bullpen either after Sears got them deep into the game.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: They only used Perkins to finish the game off. But
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: he's one of their better relievers. Actually, in the A's
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: bullpen is terrible. The A's have one of the worst bullpens,
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: if not the worst, in all of baseball. So we
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: have a huge bullpend disparity and in favor of the
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: Giants here. So we have the Giants being pissed off
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: coming off at really embarrassing loss. We have the Giants
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: with the better bullpen, and I think you have to
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: say the Giants have the way better starting pitcher, your
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: Logan Webb, I mean, he is their best pitcher. Two
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: point six one Era, one point one four Whip. I
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: like him, man, he's an old school pitcher. He's a grinder.
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: I know we do have to worry about his splits here.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: Three point eight one. Roadyra is not that good. I
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: know I lost last time. I recommended to play on
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: him his last outing. Actually he didn't pitch bad in
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: his last out. He got no run support again against Arizona.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, I mean that's the issue. San
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: Francisco you're gonna have to get some runs. But I
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: think there is reason to expect San Francisco to actually
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: hit in this game, which I'll talk about once we
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: talk about several reno. But Web has been pitching really
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: well man in June, even though his team wasn't backing
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: him with any runs. They only won three of his
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: six starts. He had a forty three to seven strike
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: a walk ratio in June, really really good. He went
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: at least six innings in every single start he went
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: seven or more, and half of them two point two
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: to three ERA. Web is pitching well man. He allowed
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: two or fewer and runs in all but that start
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: at Arizona, which is not a pitcher friendly ballpark. Of course,
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: the A's Park is not pitcher friendly either, so you
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: do have to worry about Web pitching in this environment.
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, maybe a little bit of an.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Issue because he's pitching in this a stadium which is
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: very home run conduces. But Web is a ground ball
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: pitcher man. He induces a lot of ground balls, so
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: I think he might be okay in this park as well.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: Because of that.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: He gets a decent amount of strikeouts, a decent amount
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: of ground balls. He's not really a fly ball ratio pitcher,
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: so that's pretty good as well.
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: A good sign for him as well.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: He's only allowed seven home runs this season, so the
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: home run ball hasn't really been.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: Much of an issue for him, so hopefully that works out.
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: And he has dominant numbers against the A's In forty
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: one at bats in his career, they have no extra
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: base hits and oh seventy three average, they only have
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: three hits.
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: No one of their hitters has.
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: More than one hit against him, oh seventy three average,
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: two to n ops unbelievably low eight to three strike
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: a walk ratio. So Web has absolutely dominant numbers against
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: the A's, which is something you gotta look at and
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: be like, you gotta find a way to jump in,
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: you know, on uh San Francisco here, and if you
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: want to go with the A's, to go under their
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: team total. I think that's another way to look at
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: this too, and expect San Francisco's pitching to, you know,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: to do well in this game and to hold the
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: A's down. I mean, that is another way to look
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: at this, but I still think you want to fade
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: seven Reno here. Man, he's been bad this season five
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: point ninety RA, one point three to eight WHIP and
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: he's been atrocious in this stadium six point seven to
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: ninety RA. He's a lot of eleven home runs on
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: the season now seve seven of them in this ballpark.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: He hadn't allowed any home runs for a while. He
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: actually went on this long stretch without allowing any home runs,
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: and since then, in his last five starts, he's allowed
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: seven home runs. The A's have lost so many of
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: his recent starts. They've lost nine of his last ten starts,
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: and the only one that they won was a road
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: start against Kansas City where he only had one strikeout.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: Seven. Reno is not pitching well man.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: He had a seven point seven to one ERA in
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: June seventeen to twelve strike a walk ratio really bad.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: A low strike out rate of high walk rate, allowed
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: a ton of hits to forty four and thirty two
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: and two thirds innings, plus seven of them being home runs.
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: Seven.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: Reno is in really bad form right now. He's allowed
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: twelve runs in his last two outings. I know there
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: was at Detroit and at the Yankees. Those are good
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: hitting lineup, so he is stepping down in class to
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: face a pretty bad San Francisco offense.
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: But still those numbers are awful.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: He's in really bad form right now, giving up two
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: wil runs over those last eight and two thirds. They're
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: in four home runs, four walks to five strikeouts, seven renos.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: Definitely fade material at home, man, and I've done that
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: multiple times this year, and I think it's been pretty
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: successful fading him at home. He does have good numbers
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: against the Giants, which is the only thing that worries
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: me a little bit. In eighty seven at bats twenty
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: one to seven strike a walk race here is still
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: too many walks though, one sixty one average four to
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: fifty ops. So it's not the dominance that we see
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: out of web though. So even though the money looks
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: like it's coming in and thinking, oh, this is gonna
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: be a close game, the A's do have the better offense,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: it looks like the money's kind of coming in that way.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: I'm not going to agree with it, man, I'm gonna
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: go with the San Francisco Giants and this one to
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: bounce back. I think that is worth making a play
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: on there. Charles, what's up man? Thanks for hanging out
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: and hopefully again. Fading the market hopefully does not hurt us.
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: Here is right now, If you factor in all that
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: I've done this year, we're still right around the break
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: even point. I've kind of been treading water over the
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, even though I had a couple
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: of days since I started the Instagram, I had to.
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: Finish this off. I'm gonna give you a total because
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: why not. And of course it's an under.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: We're gonna go under in Pittsburgh Seattle under the seven
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: and a half. Seven is a key number, man, So
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: I mean under seven you could still do, but I
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: would probably go up to about minus one twenty to
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: get it under seven and a half. As I usually
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: point out that half run matters as well. Seven is
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: a key number in baseball because it breaks the three
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: three tigh. I mean, obviously, part of this handicap is
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's offense isn't very good. Seattle's offense is okay. But
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: I still think that the under makes sense in this one.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: I like the pitching matchup for it as well. Yesterday's
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: game also went under, and whoop, it's really well yesterday
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: for the Mariners.
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: What else is new?
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: Neither bullpend really got taxed at all yesterday, so we're
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: getting rested bullpens coming into this game. I know the
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: Pirates bullpend isn't good, so that is a concern. Mariners
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: bullpend is fairly good against a weak Pirates offense. But
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: I still think because the bullpen's arrested, we get the
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: ability for both to bring in some of their best
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: relievers in this game. I think that helps out the
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: under Burrows is pitching for Pittsburgh. Numbers don't look great,
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: four point one five, one point three whip, but I
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: actually like Burrows. His home road splits are pretty insignificant.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: But Burrows, the one thing you have to worry about
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: is he's not getting that deep into games. But the
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: thing is he was starting for a bit and then
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: he had a couple of bad starts. Had a bad
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: start against Texas really was his one bad start, and
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: then they sent him to the bulp and he came
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: in in relief of Paul's schemes. Then they put him
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: back in the starting rotation after that, and he did
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: okay against the Mets, even though he didn't last. He
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: only went four to third innings and he didn't throw
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: that many pitches, but I think it was maybe they're
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: keeping him on a pitch count. He's a young guy,
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: so they're kind of keeping him rested. But you only
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: give up one run against the Mets, five strikeouts, one walk,
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: so he actually pitched well. I actually gave out a
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: play on Pittsburgh in that game and it worked out
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: pretty well. So Borrows, I mean he is pitching well
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: over the month of June two point seven to three ERA,
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: thirty to six strike a walk ratium. He's having a
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: good season so far, man, this being basically his rookie
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: season because he only made one appearance last year. He's
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: a young pitcher that has good stuff. And guess what,
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: Seattle has never seen him before. So again, and you
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: have a young pitcher that has good stuff, I think
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: they have the edge early on against the opposing offense
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: that has to kind of figure the guy out, and
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: a guy with good strikeout stuff like Burrows. So I
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: like this man. I think Burrow's kind of flying under
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: the radar right now. This is a picture friendly park
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: as well, which helps us out. You could go first
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: five innings in this game too, if you really want
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: to exclude Pittsburgh's bullpend but you're probably having to go
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: under three and a half of the first five innings,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: and you know, I don't love doing that. The three
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: and a half is a little bit of an iffy
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: number there, so I kind of prefer the full game
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: on this one, getting it under that key number. And
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: on the other side of the matchup, I like Luis
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: Castillo in this matchup as well. Three point five to
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: five Vra one point two to nine whip is a
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: little bit higher than I'd like to see. But Castillo
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: has been really good at home. Two point six era
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: at home has a lot of Seattle starters are a
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: lot better at home. He's been fined this month. I
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: mean he's been pretty consistent. Three point nine to seventy
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: are twenty nine to eleven strike a walk ratio. Yeah,
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: it's too many walks, but he's pretty much limited the damage.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: He's allowed three or fewer earned runs at all but
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: two of those starts, allowing four and five and the
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: other two and in those starts, i mean those were
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: both on the road as well, so I'm a little
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: bit less concerned about that. He is pitching better at
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: home and against Pittsburgh has pretty good numbers in eighty
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: four career at bats twenty eight to nine strike a
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: walk ratio. Again, maybe the walk numbers is a little
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: too high, but he's on um to a one to
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: ninety batting average five to seventy eight ops. This is
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: a weak lineup in this lineup has not had much
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: success against Castillo in the past. So we're gonna go
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: under this total. And the total is already down from
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: seven and a half to seven. Now it looks like
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: a lot of the money coming in on the under.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: So the market Reid agrees with me on this one
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: fifty five percent of tickets on the over, eighty nine
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the under. So we'll finish
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: it off with a market agreeing with me on this
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: one on the under in Pittsburgh, Seattle Man, and that's
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: gonna do it. So the plays we're going against the
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: marketing with Milwaukee money line, you might be able to
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: get a better price on Milwaukee. And actually you might
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: want to split. You could split bet half on the
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: run line and half on the money line. Maybe if
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: you want to do that, or if you find it
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: at like minus one thirty something, maybe just play the
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: money line on that. San Francisco I know how bad
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: that looks minus one and a half on the run
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: line and then under in Pittsburgh, Seattle.
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: That's gonna do it. Learn to Toad on Twitter, so
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: you can go learn to Toad with me. Man.
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: The gifts send go is still up at our game
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: Toad if you would prefer, you can throw tips.
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: My way on Twitter as well.
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: Better off Dead as an Instagram at off Dead Better
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: so you can check that out where I give out
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: the same plays, but I do it in a shorthand fashion.
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: I try to be funny with it, although when I
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: get autistic, I can't really think of jokes anymore.
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: So it's kind of a problem trying.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: To keep each one of those videos to a minute
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: or less, to try to keep everybody's attention span, or
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: keep everybody's attention with everybody having a short attention span,
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: I should say and covered in Yuk is my uke
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: channel on YouTube where I'm thinking about doing some things
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: with that.
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: I'm setting up a Patreon which is gonna be available soon.
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: Tower going learned to Toad excuse me on Patreon is
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: gonna be where it is. I'll put a link in
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: my link tree there which you can get to for
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: my Twitter as well once it's up. Thinking that the
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: Patreon is gonna involve a spot if I feed with
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: all the ukulele covers that I post, and I'm gonna
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: start dripping old ones back in as well and start
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: uploading those to the YouTube, because I've basically just been
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: posting things on Twitter.
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: So now what I'm gonna do. I put out ukulele
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: covers on YouTube. I'm on Twitter.
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the same ones that I put on
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: Twitter on YouTube, and then I'm gonna probably slow drip
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: the old.
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: Ones onto YouTube as well.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: But They're all on my phone and I'm totally disorganized,
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: so I have to get I gotta clear up some
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: space on my phone too, so I gotta move all
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: those ukulele videos to probably this computer and just like
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: rewatch all of them, identify all of them and figure
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: out what I want to do with them. Get them
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: all up on YouTube, slow drip them, and give everybody
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: kind of a Patreon Spotify feed. Maybe is what I
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: want to do. So oh, thank you sir, Yes, good
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: luck to everybody today. That's gonna do it for today. Man,
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this up. This is also on audio
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: platforms by the way, and if you listen to this
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: show on audio, there are ads there. I'm monetized, so
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: that's gonna bring me some money the more people that listen,
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: So listen on the audio stuff as well. Give me
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: some ratings, you know on Spotify and Apple podcasts especially,
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: so help me out there as well. If you can
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: subscribe obviously, and keep you know, watching on YouTube as well,
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: comment and subscribing on YouTube. If we get up to
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: five hundred YouTube subscribers, I can start monetizing this as
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: well and getting super chats and stuff. So let's try
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: to do that as well. Man, gotta get the money
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: flowing just right now. It is an IV drip of
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: money right now, and it's not keeping me alive. Thanks Charles,
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: all right, thanks guys. I'm gonna get this up on
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: the audio. I was late to do it yesterday because
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: I had to go to a cookout yesterday. Happy fourth
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: again to everybody. Hopefully everybody had a good day yesterday.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: Hopefully everybody's getting out of their hangovers today, which, by
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: the way, I know from back when I drank a lot.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: A hair of the dog does help, at least it
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: did for me. Speaking of slow drips. If you're really hungover,
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: if you slow drip, just like some kind of like
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: weak beers, have a couple of beers early in the day,
