• 1:59
  Speaker 5: get out on here, you know. It is kind of
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: fun to mix it up a little bit. I know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Title now, like he's gonna be the filling guy, but
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: it's fun to give Title some ship. You know, you
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: got to give him some ship now. Especially now I'm
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: only going to be out with him once in a while,
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna really have to bust his balls a little
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: bit when he comes on days. You're gonna have to
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: do the same, you know, Like Title back there. You know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: he's just enjoying the good life. But hey, I forgot
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: my man's got a kid, so forget all that what
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: I just said. He's got a little one there, so
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: he probably ain't getting any sleeping ship anyway, so he
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: needs he needs all the little extra help. Dad's like,
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: I already did all that, been there, done that, I'm done.

• 2:56
  Speaker 3: he needs not too much on titled there that Dad

• 3:06
  Speaker 3: We love our guy title, and we love everyone here

  Speaker 3: Kenny W. Hart, Gator Nation, RK kleinb Taco Todd, Ricky Rose,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: j Steele's bad Lands, Jay Bannock, Matt Zen, and Kenny
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: W Again. So I appreciate everyone tuning in. Hit that
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: like button, hit that subscribe button helps us out a ton,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: And yeah, you allude to it a little bit in
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: the broad slate over you here. Not much stands out
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: outside of cours Field obviously with that eleven total or
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: eleven and a half, whatever the hell's at now. But
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I just I'm always one did not
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: really like Cours. But really, especially if there is the
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Rockies best pitcher, it would be the guy going tonight
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: in Dolander, Right, huge time prospect coming in the league,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: didn't really pan out, has looked pretty damn good to
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: start the year. Obviously, now coming out of long relief
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: right where they throwing a lefty there are they throwing
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: a kind of an opener for him to get through
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the kind of the top of the lineup and get
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: him rolling in the middle to the back half that
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: order to kind of get his grips underneath him what
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: when he's pitching there. But he hasn't pitched much in
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: coors Field either, so obviously we'll talk about that. But
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: outside of coors Field, nothing really stands out in terms
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: of offense. So I mean, projections wise, are gonna slam
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Toronto in the padres just because Toronto's super cheap padres
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: are expensive, But obviously in coors Field with six implied
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: run total, those two teams fit together like a glove,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: just like yesterday with the Dodgers and the Blue Jays.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know, We'll do our best to kind of
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: navigate it through here. We're gonna we're gonna talk pitching
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: like we always do here. Gee, Rosen, I got the
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: screenshare up here.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Let me filter this. So I did do a projected
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: score dry run here.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: One hundred and fifty teams, Bubitch, McLean, Castillo, Yamamoto, Emmy Lizardo.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Obviously, all of those arms really good.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: They're all gonna get some ownership, They're all gonna get played.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Talk to me above eight k here.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I think it's a really strong pitching slate on the
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: top end, really weak after that, I would say, so ideally,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: you're probably gonna want to live up in this top tier.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: But none of these guys are really bulletproof by any means.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Lozardo's not look great this year, and now he's get
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: a win game in Wrigley where the total seems pretty
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a little bit higher slightly, probably about a run and
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: half two runs higher run and half for sure higher.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Than what it usually would be if there was no wind.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: With these two pitchings there, and then in the same
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: thing on the other side there, he's a fly ball guy.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Tough line up there.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: He's looked really good against left handed pitching, but right
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: handed pitching or right handed hitters, excuse me, not the best,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and he again doesn't keep the ball on the ground
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: much there, so there's some concerns there. Castillo just you
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: know who Castillo is. Pitch is great at home, doesn't
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: really have a huge massive ceiling, but really doesn't get
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: it lit up much.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: The A's do strike on a lot.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Yamamoto, McLean Are, Kinda and Bubich are kind of the
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: main guys that stand out to me here. But again,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Boobich's pitching in Kaufman Stadium, which is gonna play more
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: hitter friendly this year, especially tonight with the winds blown
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: out and the temperatures there.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: So I do think it's a spend up slate for
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: pitching in general.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: However, I wouldn't be shocked to see some of these
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: guys get bombed here just due to the hitting conditions overall.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: But what do you see here, Brett talk talk to
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: a with the top tier arms?
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, from what you're saying, I think the
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: only one I'd really crossed off these top six up
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: here above aka I'm DraftKings is Castile. Like you said,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, he has been good at home, sure I
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: get it, but he's still like a ninety percent strikeout pitcher.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: So I mean, like you said, I just don't like
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: the upside. I think there's some guys here that are
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: definitely in play. The five left that are above ak
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: I think are all interesting to me.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I don't have.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Them really when you just kind of break it all down,
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: I don't have them really separated by too much. And
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: especially when you look at a lot of the outos,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: the point differences aren't very high. They're all kind of
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: bunched up together even in their projections. So I mean,
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: just kind of looking at it with Bubick, I mean,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Bubick started out pretty well, but he had that shit
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: game against against the Tigers.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: But I mean he's been walking some guys.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: I think for me, Bubick I think is interesting just
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: because I think you're gonna get him at some low ownership.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: I think Bubick is a guy that you could definitely
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: throw out against his Baltimore team, who has I think
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: they got If I'm not mistaken, I think every guy
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: is above twenty four percent as far as the strikeouts
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: goes against left handed pitching.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I'm just double checking that.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Actually one guy blows Rutchman, everybody else is above twenty four.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: They're all like thirty percent, So there's definitely some strikeouts
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: that he had there for Bubick, which I like. I
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: think when you move up to McLean, I think that's interesting, right, Like, man,
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: what's Richardson sucks on the other side for him, Like,
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: I feel like he's definitely could be in a place there,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: especially on fandle to get me a win. So I
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: do like his win equity. I like his ability to
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: get some strikeouts. But you know my thing is then
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: I go bounce back to the Mets even scoring damn
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: rons like that offense has been absolutely terrible lately. But
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: I mean mcclean's come out, he's shown himself at like
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: a thirty percent strikeout rate, So I think that guy
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: is definitely interesting. But I think for where I'm looking at,
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: like the ownership, I think he's going to be one
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: of the more popular plays. You got a game sitting
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: there at a seven and a half ownership are over
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: under I'm sorry, So, I mean, I just don't really
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: like a lot of the caves to be had to
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: in this Twins lineup that really isn't all that many.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: So for me, I mean, I like the matchup kind
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: of here in this spot, But when I'm breaking it
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: down against the other guys here who you know, we're gonna.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Get to with AMaGA. As you mentioned the wind blowing out.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: There in in Wrigley, and that doesn't really seem to
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: bother me really as much like that game still has
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: an eight and a half total. A lot of times
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: when we see this big win bump and they, you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: they everybody's talking about the win bumps, and Wrigley usually
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: see a ten or eleven or twelve. And I think
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: we were talking about this a little bit before we
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: came on. I think the reason it is at eight
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: and a half because both these pitchers are good. I mean,
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: this really probably is a game that should be a
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: seven in my opinion, if they're not playing in the
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: wind in Wrigley. But I don't think, you know, generally,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: for me, I'm not too really concerned about the wind.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: I think for me, AMaGA is one that I do like.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I mean, he does give up some fly balls. I'm
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: just not really too worried about this. The San Francisco team,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: I mean I'm not too I mean I'm not concerned
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: about them at all.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I mean Philly team, I'm sorry.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: So for me, I think that game is interesting from
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: a pitching standpoint on both sides of the play, because
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: you got Lizardo, who, like you said, has struggled a
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: little bit, but his strikeouts have been there. He's had
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: eight k's eleven k's two out of his last three starts.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: He had two k's last time. But I think if
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: you're just looking for some k's, I think that is
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: an opportunity. Maybe these two pitchers match up. I kind
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: of like pairing them together in the game here, even
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: though it is windy. I think you'll be totally different
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: than everybody else because of the win. But I think
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: both guys here are in play for me and then Yamamoto,
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: I feel is probably for me the safest obviously Dodgers
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: with the best offense, we.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Like to park out there in San Francisco.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: For pitching, I'm not afraid of anything against the San
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: Francisco lineup against Yamamoto. So for me, I mean, I
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: don't really have any of them. I think, you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: if you if you probably looked at this and you
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: look at it on different days, you might feel differently
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: about it. I think they're all so close, and I
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: think if just depending on really what you're looking at
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm trying to kind of look at where
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: I could get some K upside. I think Bubik has
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: the highest K upside truthfully, probably out of all of them,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: just with this matchup there with all those k's in
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: that Baltimore lineup, so and he's not really getting any ownership.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: So for me, I think in GPP's Bubick would be
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: a guy i'd like. I think if I was playing
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: cash games, I think Yamamoto and McLean would probably be
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: the eyes I'd probably lean to. But I think for
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: GPP two, the two pairing with Lozardo and Amonga I
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: think is interesting in that game where they could duel
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: it out against each other. I don't mind the two
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: bullpens there either. But yeah, I mean I think it's interesting.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be spread out. I think, you know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: today the pitching is cheap enough. I think everybody's gonna
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: probably have I bet you Nate's probably eight out of
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: ten teams. Eighty percent of teams are gonna have two
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: of these top five guys above Ak in their lineup today.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: No, it's definitely spind up pitching slate. I'll kind of
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: give my breakdown. I like your your breakdown there. We
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: do differ slightly in some of these, but again, ownership's
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: not a concern. The guy I think gets the most
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: ownership is Buobits just projections are driving on. He's the
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: cheapest of the bunch. His strikeout rate oriols has not
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: been good. People don't really pay a ton of attention,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: and with with the fence getting brought in there in
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Kaufman Stadium, it played pitcher friendly last year, it's not
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: gonna be the case this year. So Bubich, there's not
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: much for me to say bad about any of these
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: guys up here. I'll give kind of my top three
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: is gonna be Yama motive by far number one, McLean
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: number two. And then I think Castillo is really interested
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: in ninety one hundred because I think he of the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: guys up here, is gonna be the one. I mean
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: that people maybe the ballpark draws people on them, but
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: I mean with Lozardo and m and Aga better strike
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: on arms right there, I mean, it's gonna be tough
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: for people to click Castillo, I think overall when it
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: actually comes time to build teams. So those are my
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: three top guys, but all six of these are gonna
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: be in my pool. I'm gonna be overweight on probably
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: all six, to be honest, I mean the vast majority
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: of my teams are gonna have two of these arms
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: up here, just like you alluded to, because again, the
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: bottom tier is not very good in general when we
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: get there. So for me, all six of them are played.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I don't really have holes to poking in any of them.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I would put Lozardo in the five and six just
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: due to the uh just due to the weather there.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: And I actually prefer Imanaga to Lozardo if picking one.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think the Cubs are the worst stack in
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the world when to get there. I'm just not afraid
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: of this this Philly team right now against left handed pitching.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, you want them against right handed pitching, right
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: you want to, You want to play them against right
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: handed pitching, not so much left handed pitching.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Both of these bullpens are really good.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: As well, top five in the or top six, top
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: eight in the league based on the current current setup.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: You look at this Phillies roster point one are h
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: one o nine ice against left handed pitching on the season,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: twenty three percent k rate, which isn't great, so that
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: does hurt a little bit there, but to lefties. I mean,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Imanaga is looking at almost a fifty k rate on
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: the season to lefties, and I now, do I think
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: he's gonna be over the course of the year a
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: fifty k rate. Absolutely not against lefties there, But I
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: do think his strikeouts are legit, especially against lefties, just
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: the way his his pitch arsenal works, and guys like
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Brandon marsh Schwarber, Harper, those guys all strike out a
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: ton regardless there. And I mean, are you really scared
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: of these righties too much? I mean guys like Felix Reyes,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: ed Mundo Sosa, Real.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Mudo, Turner, Boom. Yeah, I mean those guys are fine.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: But yeah, so I put Emmy ahead of Lozardo, but
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I'd go Yamamoto, McLean, Castillo, Bubitch, Emmy, and then I'll
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: go Lozardo last, just due to the salary too as well.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: So all six of them good good options for me
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: in my eyes. Here down below, ak, I do think
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: there's a couple guys you can play down here. Jacob
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Lopez Merril Kelly are kind of the two guys that
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I'd look at down here, and then Carmen Carmen m
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna call him for Pittsburgh.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: He's looked pretty good.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: His pitch count's not great, but at seventy one hundred,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: it'll get you on a different roster construction. Nobody's gonna
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: click his name. I do like the Pirates as well.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I'm not really scared of that Texas offense too much.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: That park is solid for pitching, so I think he'd
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: be the third guy down here. But what do you
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: see down here? It's pretty gross in general. Land and
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Roop Maybe in that ballpark out there, Dodgers after coming
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: out of out of course field, right, I usually like
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: the target teams coming out of course field. Do I
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: think you need to target the Dodgers on a nine
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: game slate with a pitcher at seventy seven.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Hundred, Probably not.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: But if there's a guy who has upside and has
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: been good on the year, it'd be Land and Roop,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I think at seventy seven hundred with that ballpark, So
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: a few guys down here, I think you can click.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: But what's your take down here below Ak?
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Pretty much everybody below Ak I pretty much can make
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: a better argument that we should play against them. So
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: I think it's tough for me. Roup as you did mention,
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: I think is interesting. But you know, any other team
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: but the Dodgers. I mean, like any other team but
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: the Dodgers, i'd be I'd really like like him, especially
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: on FanDuel at his price. He's been pretty good so
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: far this year. But I just have no interest in
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: attacking the Dodgers. But I mean it is some tournaments.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: If you want to go that route. I don't mind
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: the way he looks under the hood, but really after that,
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: I mean it's some thin pickings. I mean, I maybe
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: you look at Vasquez in in Cores if you wanted
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: to go that route, you got a good bullpen behind him.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: I mean you probably don't even want you know, if
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: you're shaking your head, I mean, that's nothing. I mean Lopez,
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: I do not like. I know you had mentioned possibly
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: looking at Lopez. This is a low strikeout pitcher. I
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: really like the righty bats in that game for Seattle,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: so I think that is definitely something. I mean, Patrick Corbyn,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: I think I'd rather go outside and see if I
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: could jump across six lanes of traffic without getting hit. Nate,
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: so I can't do that. A dull ender can't do it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, Meryl Kelly, if you wanted to go up
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: against the White Sox, I just I'd rather play against
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Meryl Kelly, to tell you the truth, with the White
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Sox in that game, I actually like the game stack
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: in that one. So for me, I think they're just
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: all blind dart throws. Like if you got you can't
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: get down to them. There's plenty of cheap bats to
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: be able to bump up one thousand or fifteen hundred,
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: to be able to get in the range of like
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: a bubik at eighty four hundred or mc.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Clean or you know, like these guys are under nine k. Like,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I don't see any.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Reason why, you know, you can't find a lineup that
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: works out for it to use one of the top
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: five pitchers. There's just no reason. It's all silliness down
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: below for me. So for me, Nad's I just I
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: can't even do it. I mean you can sit and
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: look at it like and like try to force it,
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: but to me, I'm not going there. I just think
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: there's a I'm gonna live in the top half of
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: the field.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely agree, But if you had to get
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: down here, you want strikeouts. Right, So a guy like
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Lopez five and a half k prop juicely over on
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: pretty much every book across the industry.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: He probably has just as much, just pretty similar odds
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: to to walk five batters as he does to strike
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: out five and a half six batters. Right, So, but
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: at the price in that ballpark, I get it. That's
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: that's a side where I'm probably gonna play both sides.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: But if you actually needed a punt, I wouldn't hate him.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Carmen Carmen m I'll call him. I don't hate him.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Landa Roope four and a half k prop pretty heavy
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: juice to the over minus one forty five, So that
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: would be the worst play there.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: So those are kind of the three guys.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: If and only if you have to go down here,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: I think you could play again. If you're coming down here,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: you're chasing strikeouts. So guys like Lopez, Carmen, Merril, Kelly,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Landa Roop would would be the guys that that that
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: could do that. But again it's pretty gross, and like
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I said, top tier is loaded, and again these guys
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: are I mean, you can play Shoda McLean, Bubitch and
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: those guys are eighty four, eighty five, eighty seven hundred, right,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: it's very easy. I mean, we got guys that are
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: in the low two k's right. The entire Blue Jays
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: team is dirt cheap, right, So it's easy to build
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: teams with the spinout arms. And I don't want to
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: be I don't want to lose lose the slate from
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: from pitching down here. So yeah, I'm with you there.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Let's go over and refresh the stone here. See if
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: we've got any updated lineups in share this tab here
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: and well at so first game on the main slate
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: is going.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: To be the Twins and the Mets.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: It's like forty five degrees up in up in the
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: East coast, up in city Field. We know this park
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: is not good for hitting. That's kind of why I
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: like Nolan mcglean so much. But man, it'd be nice
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: if these Mets could score at least three runs to
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: help Nolan potentially be in line for the win.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: This game looks gross to me for offense.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Mets MJ Melendez twenty one hit and fifth,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I think he's fine. Nobody's gonna play these Mets, Simmon
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Woods Richardson's got awful.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: He's not good by any means.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: I wish the hitting whether when the park was better
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: so and that the Mets were a better offense than
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: what they're currently. I mean, you want to talk about
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: a slump. These guys are what lost eleven straight something
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: like that. They've been absolutely abysmal. But I mean Melendez,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: probably the Carson Benz, some of these value guys here,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I don't think of the worst plays. I'm definitely not
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: spending on any of these Mets bats, guys like glynd Orr.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, what do you see here, Twins Mets.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of hard to play any Mets stacks
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: or do anything with Mets when they can't hit their
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: way out of a paper bag.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: They're like second.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Worst in all of a slugging ops and baseball. I mean,
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: they're down there with the you know, the the Royals
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: and the Reds, and I mean they're not good. Andy's
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: they haven't been hitting at all. So I mean, you'd
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: like to play against Wood Richardson.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: This guy sucks.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: He's the fly ball pitcher, gives up a lot of contact.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Definitely something we'd normally like to stack against. But I
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: just can't get there with these Mets as bad as
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: they've been hitting, So we'll save that Woods Richardson for
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: another day. Today's just not the day. But he's definitely
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: guy we'd normally like to go against. I just with
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: the weather we got there, it's got a seven and
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: a half total, Matt's can't do shit.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: I just we're just gonna let it go.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you there. I do think MJ. Milendez
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: is a salary saver. Is fine.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: He's been actually hitting really well against right hand and pitching.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Woods Richardson's got awful against left He's got awful against everyone,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: so wouldn't be the worst worst player in the world there.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: So next game in the slate Kaufman Stadium, Royals Orioles
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: here Shane Boz don't really know what to expect from him.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Chris Bubach one of our top pitcher pitching options on
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: the slate. Weather here very very hit or friendly. Second
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: best hitting environment on the slate behind Coors Field. Got
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: like fifteen to twenty mine hour wins or like I
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: see fifteen plus pretty much an entire duration of this game.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Blowing straight out to center field here, bullpen wise Baltimore
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: one of the better bullpen's second or second best in
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: the league right now behind Toronto Kansas City, though not
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: not the best. So I don't know, interesting game on
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: both sides, right I definitely lean pitching on and hitting
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: on the Royal side overall. But what do you see
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: here Orioles and the Royals in in Coauflin Stadium.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: I see that Bobby wit Junior is so damn cheap
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: on FanDuel it's hard not even to think about clicking
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: his name at like three k or thirty one hundred
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: whatever the hell they.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: Have him at.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Like you're you're going down the line, you know, looking
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: for your shortsop, and you're like, did they forget about him?
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: And he's like twelve deep. It's like, who that's Bobby
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: witt Man.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: But anyway, I don't mind the I don't mind some
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: of the Royals.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Actually, I think some of the Righties.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: I just don't like it as a full stack Royals
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: just as a team, as I always say, just don't
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: seem to have enough pop for me. But Shane Baz,
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, this guy's given up a two nineteen ISOs,
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: you know, to Righty's last season, he's at over two
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: hundred so this season.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: So just looking at that some of these.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Righty Salvador Perez, Bobby Wit, maybe Garcia up at the top,
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: I like that one a little bit as as a
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: mini stack. Looking at a going against Bubik, I don't
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's enough I mean for me to
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: go up again to the matchup like that a Bubick
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: on who I like, with all the k's on the
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: other side, I think I would have to get more
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: leverage than I'm actually gonna be able to get in
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: this slate here. That's gonna dictate He's not gonna be
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: overly chalky. So I just I'm not a fan of
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: going after that. But so for me, I mean, I
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: don't mind the top half of this lineup, the righties.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: You could even throw in Vinnie if you want to,
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: But I mean Bobby Witt, especially on FanDuel so cheap.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know how you don't how you don't click
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: his name.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Royals are pretty interesting from an
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: offensive perspective, they are going to get pretty I mean
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: the top five are, or the top four.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Really are going to get ownership.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: The rest of them, I mean, Curter Jensen's been Mashing
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: CAGLIONI finally got on the board. He's got tons of
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: tons of power. The Royals are gonna throw a bunch
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: of lefti's against Shane Bobs. The Orioles bullpen is good,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: like I said, So it does limit me in terms
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: of full stacks, and I just don't think the Royals
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: back half of the lineup is that great to keep
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: turning it over in terms of full stacks. And I
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: usually if I'm full stacking, I at least like to
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: If I'm playing into ownership, I like to look at
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: the bullpens too, right, because so much of DFS is
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: won based on late game runs in production, right, in
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: terms of off that bullpen. Right, that's why we target
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: teams like the White Sox, the Rockies, things like that, right,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: the Nationals, Cardinals, Right, I mean, look at that game yesterday, right,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: extra innings explodes or the Cardinals, Right, Nationals, Those games
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: go go nuts because the bullpen's terrible. Right, So Royals
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: are fine, I think. On the oriol side, though, I
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: will call it terror ward. This dude just doesn't strike out.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Mash is left handed pitching. He gets all ninety in
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: at bats with the wind blown out. I think he's great.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: And then Jeremiah Jackson thirty two hundred at second base
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: that this dude's been on an absolute heater. He's been
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: matching Baseball's thirty two hundred second base sucks. I think
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: he's fine. And then you get a two K guy
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Weston Wilson, who has a bunch of power against lefties,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: probably gets pinch hit for. But at two K he's
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: probably gonna see two to three at bats against Boobach.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: He could hit one out.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: So some of those righty power gap Pete Alonso at
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: forty seven hundred, nobody's gonna click that.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Really, I think he's interesting.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not full stack in the Orioles, but in lineups
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: where I'm not playing Boobach and I'm pivot to a
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: guy in his same range, like a Nola McLean or.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: A Showta in Naga.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Right now, I double leverage the roster construction in general
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: with Boo Bitch with a pitcher who out scores him
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: in the same range.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: How does that happen?
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Guys like Taylor Ward, Pete Alonzo, Jeremiah Jackson get onto
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: boubitch a little bit for some home run, some power,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: some run production. So I don't think it's the craziest
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: play there.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Pigs just two.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Wriglely seven degrees win blown out here, nothing crazy, It's
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: like seven to ten miles an hour. But obviously the
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: most winded park in all of baseball is Wrigly. We
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: know those wins can change in a hurry there as well.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Definitely lean more pitching in this one, but I think
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: both of these stacks or power one offs things like
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: that are are fairly interesting.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Went with the hidden conditions.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Overall, both good bullpens here, So I'm not full stacking
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: either side, but I think some some guys like Carson
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Kelly who mashes lefties, Ci Suzuki, Alex Bregman, Nico Horner's
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: been been on a tear, I'd lean more Cubs in
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: terms of if you are going to if you do
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: want to just in m me stack a team here.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I lean the Cubs side overall, just because Lozzardo has
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: been not great to start the year. I do think
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: he's a good pitcher, and historically it's not great to
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: target him because he just really doesn't go go off
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: a cliff too often. But some of the Cubs power
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: not the worst plays Phillies. You want the righties against
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: emmy fly ball guys as the issue is is, I
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: mean Alec Bohm, do you really want to play him?
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Real Mudo, Felix Reyes. I mean, these guys, it's just
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: it's definitely pitching more so in this one that hitting.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: But what do you see here?
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: If you don't like what Lozardo's doing, I mean in
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: a win aided game, I think the Cubs are definitely interesting,
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: especially the right side. I mean Lozardo has been getting
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: beat up a little bit. He's gave up thirteen earned
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: runs in his last ten innings. He had the one
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: good game actually when you look at it, you know,
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: a second game against Colorado, which you know, we're not
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: gonna call that dynamic of an offense, but he literally
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: got he literally got crushed. The last time he saw
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: these guys out, they crushed him. So, I mean he
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: gave up twelve hits, nine runs, eight earned runs. I
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: mean it's the same damn team that crushed them last week.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: So they're definitely gonna come into until this game with
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: some confidence, that's for sure. So I mean, for what
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: the Cubs are getting as far as ownership, and what's
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: being talked about with the Cubs. You know, I just
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: feel like it's definitely an opportunity that you could look at.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: I don't love it. I'd call him like my sneak stack,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: like a low owned stack ads. I'd put him in
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: that category for me. But other than that, yeah, it
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: would just be basically going after Lazardo. As you mentioned,
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: the bullpens aren't that bad so but uh yeah, I
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: mean if you like the wind and everything else, I
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: mean you're looking at a guy I mean too. I
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: mean look in Mamaga, get definitely showed. It gives up
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: definitely a lot of fly balls. Wazardo not so much.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: But just as bad as he's been. His hard hit
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: rates are off the charts, man. I mean he's getting
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: smacked around pretty bad. I mean he's hard hit rate
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: forty two percent. That left the thirty almost thirty one
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: percent to write he so far this year. So, I
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: mean it's still early, right, Like I feel like we're
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: getting to that, you know, normal. I like to say,
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: like around forty games, I think everything's about locked in.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: We're getting a little bit a little bit over halfway
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: there now. And at forty games, what most pitchers have
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: about seven or eight starts in him yet, so I'm
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: not gonna go overboard thinking, oh, this guy's bad or
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: this guy's good. I try to still kind of lean
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: into what they did the prior year. But uh, yeah,
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: I'm you know, it's kinda it's just at that point
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: now where in Lazardro has been bad. Are we gonna
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: just think he's bad or do we think it's just
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: been a couple of games.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I think it's in play.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I will call it. The price point on trade
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Turner seems pretty cheap. Forty seven hundred. I mean, this dude,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: We've paid six k, six k plus for it for
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: this guy. He always has a threat to steel bases there,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: so I don't hate that. And then Adulas Garcia just
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: because you don't want any lefties against Emmy. Obviously, Bryce
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Harper and Schwarber are to the best left handed hitters
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: in the game, but I don't want to attack. I
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: don't want to pay those salaries for those two guys
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: going up against him.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Naga, you want the righties.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: So Trey Turner Adulas Garcia would be the two that
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: come to the top of my list if you did
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: want to go on the Philly side.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm with you.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Cubs are, even as a full stacker, are pretty intriguing
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: just because even with the bullpen's being decent here, if
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: the Cubs jump on Lozardo early, I mean they're not
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: You're not going to see the best arms coming out
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: of that bullpen. In terms of bullpen usage. To the
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: guys through twenty eight and thirty two pitches yesterday, those
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: guys are both in Shuegart and Johnson are probably both unavailable.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Then the next two guys twenty nine twenty six pitches
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: so fairly tax as well, which does.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Help the case there.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: So yeah, not the best spot, but again, offenses is
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: pretty weak.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: The slate is really tricky in general.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: For me, it feels similar to yesterday obviously with the
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: course field dynamic where just feels too easy to go
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: to course field and load up on that.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: With the rest of these spots, but.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: It's much better hitting environments today than it was yesterday
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: across the really the slates outside of course field, so
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: that's where where I'm looking in One of those was
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: was that regular game next game here Pirates Rangers, Kumar Rocker,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Carmen M. I'm not even gonna try and butcher his
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: last name there. Carmen's been pretty solid to start the year.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Limited harn contact, doesn't have the best strikeout stuff in general,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: but has looked pretty decent. Kumar Rocker, though, has walked
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: a small village in the half. I mean, this guy
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: just has not come to fruition. Was a mega prospect
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: coming in just has not panned out. He's not been good.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: He's not a great pitcher. The Pirates offense has shown
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: a ton of life. The lefties have been crushing here.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Issue I have with full stacks here though, again is well. Actually,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: after looking at Texas ninth worst bullpen in baseball, so
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: I actually do like the Pirates a decent amount here.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: It's not the best park for hitting, but this Pirate
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: offense can get there without.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Even the long ball.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I mean O'Neill Cruz can obviously hit it, but he's
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: looked like the player we all thought he was going
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: to be coming into the league right tons of power, speed.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Brandon Lowe has been absolutely incredible to start the year,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: especially against right handed pitching. Reynolds, Ryan O'Hearn, Connor Griffin
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: absolute phenom right thirty one hundred for him. I think
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: the Pirates are fairly sneaky here.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: What do you see here?
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Pirates are real sneaky.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: If it didn't say Pittsburgh Pirates in front of it,
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: you know you you'd maybe say like Yankees or something.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: You might think when you look at their team stats,
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: I mean go over look, you know, with the team stats,
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: I mean they're fourth and all of baseball and ops
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: they're fifth and slugging so far this season.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: I mean they're literally up.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: There with the teams I mentioned, you know, the Dodgers, Dastros,
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: the Braves, the Cubs, the Yankees. I mean they're keeping
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: up with them, right, keeping up so to me, I mean,
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: they just kind of get overlooked most days. And I
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: think this is a really good matchup for him. You
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: mentioned Kumar Kumar, can't. I mean, this guy's been, like
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: you mentioned, walking to his left right twenty percent or
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: twenty percent both sides of the play, and so far
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: this year last year is that sixteen percent walk rate
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: for lefties, which which is absolutely I mean, that's just.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Terrible ten percent walk right. I was looking at his
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: k Ray, But.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: As far as you know, these lefties go O'Neill Cruz.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: Top of that lineup is somebody at guy's a beast.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: But you know the other day, I like the Pirates.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: I think we were on nads. I think it was
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: the Thursday and I did this sleaveh plan and I
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: literally had Marcelo Azuna in my freaking core and the
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: dude ends up hitting the bomb. And the reason be
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: he's so damn cheap in a four spot in that
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: lineup around a bunch of lefties that we're gonna do great.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: He helped me build up and unlock me to be
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: able to get a better arm up there at the
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: top if we're pitching. And I kind of think it's
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: a similar kind of thing today with those Zuna. I
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: don't mind him. He can definitely get a you know,
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: get a hold of one for us. I like O'Hearn.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: I like the top five guys in this lineup. I
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: think they're definitely somebody who on attack. You mentioned Texas
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: Bullpen isn't all that great, but let's you know, let's
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: look at this time of year. You know, we're twenty
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: some games or so, in a little bit above twenty
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: games needs and I'm just not gonna discount the fact
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: the Pirates are in the top five of MLB hitting.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, how many people would you even.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Know you'd be even to ask that question, and nobody,
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: nobody even say the Pirates. So for that fact alone,
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: I think that maybe the Pirates are a team. We
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: just kind of got a watch and ride and maybe,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: uh you know, they'll they'll put us in some good
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: positions here to take down some tournaments.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: But I mean they're fairly cheap.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: I like the power of the Lefties, and I believe
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: they've also been stealing some bags if I'm not mistaken.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they definitely, definitely you can definitely run a Rocker here,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: especially with is Danny Jansen catching Yeah, I mean.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Pittsburgh so far this year in MLB, so we got
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: that too.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: You can run on him, you can run on Rocker.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: So I do think the stolen base guys O'Neill, Cruz obviously,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Connor Griffin obviously, Jake Mangham if he's in there, will
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: world run obviously too. But I mean Reynolds are run,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: O'Hearn a run, Gonzalez a run, I mean, definitely, Griffin
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: and Cruse have added stolen base potentially in there. Too,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm with you. I think the pirates are
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: are are pretty pretty interesting here.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I'm with you too.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: On a Zuna three k for him, the dude, the
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: dude's been on a heater and I mean, Kumar Rocker
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: probably has a better opportunity to walk two to three
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: of these guys up at the top and then one
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: of these riding's uh Ozuna York some something like that
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: comes in and get gets a fastball across the heart
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: of the plate and just absolutely nukes it.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: So you have that going for you as well.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Kumar keeps this up, He's gonna go find Harold and
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: get a job at white Castle.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Uh, next game cours Field, everybody wants Chase Dolanders is
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: gonna be the long guy for the Rockies.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: There's there.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: There's gonna be an opener for for the Rockies. That
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: that's how they've been. It's been working for them. When
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: with with Dolander, Uh, he came out and absolutely mowed
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: down the Astros last time out. Wasn't the same matchup
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: obviously because he wasn't in course field. He has limited
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: limited sample in cours overall, Padres get the course field bump,
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: but you got cheap guys at the back half of
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: this lineup. I mean, Padres are the Dodgers ownership wise
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: from yesterday. They're far and head of anybody else outside
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: of maybe the Blue Jays just because they're cheap. But really,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: five man stacks Padres, everyone's gonna go in on him.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: But you want the lefties.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Against Dolander, and I mean, yeah, Jackson Maryle is great,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Gavin Sheets is fine, Corona War has not been great.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: But the rest of these guys are all right handed hitters.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, they just don't have a lot.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Of lefties right, whereas a team like Seattle or something right,
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: if this matchup was like a team like Seattle or
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: like the Pirates or something right where they have a
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: bunch of good lefty bats, it'd be a different case.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna be selling on the Padres here. Just
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: take my chance. I respect Dolander enough. I think he's
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: finally finding something in the major leagues and living up
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: to the hype coming into the league when when he
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: kind of came.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: On the scene.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Sure, the Padres obviously could get there on paper, everything
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: like that. I get the Rockies, Bullpen's not great. Dodgers
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: just nuked them late in that game yesterday. But this
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: is the best pitcher that the Rockies do have to
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: throw out there. And then on the Rocky side, Rockies
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: all got price bumps. Padres, bullpen of straight nails, Randy Vasquez.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's good. I think it's smoking mirrors
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: to start the year here.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: But again, he's been serviceable enough.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: And if he starts to struggle in like the fourth inning,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: I mean they are fine just pulling him and going
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: to that bullpen, which I mean you could see how
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: you could see a bullpen arm get a cy Young
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: here in Mason Miller, which is absolutely ridiculous there. But
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: what do you see here Padres, Rocky s Corsefield talking
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: point of the slate?
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just think it's a kind of slate today
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: and age where I look at and where the chalkier
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: stacks isn't something that I like. I mean, I just
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: don't like this spot at all. For though, for the Padres,
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: I mean you mentioned with Dolander, the dude actually is
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: a pretty good pitcher.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: He does suck against lefties.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: You know, his walk percentage is like three times higher
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: for lefties, and it is right he's at twelve percent.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: But I mean he's got a ground ball lane fifty
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: percent the lefties, sixty one percent the righties. His fly
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: ball percentage is at almost thirty two percent the lefties.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: But you look over this lineup to Padres are thrown
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: out Jackson Merrill, I mean, sure, I don't mind neck
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: Gavin Sheets like, no thanks, Jake Cronenworth. I mean, I'm
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: just really not a fan there. I think the better
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: bats with Tatis and Machado and Bogar, I think these Alrightyes,
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: he's gonna be throwing a lot of you know, he's
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: ground ball pitchers. I mentioned sixty one percent. Tatis is
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: a fifty percent ground ball guy. So I mean, I
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: don't know why he ranks up so high. To me,
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: you're just gonna get a few ground balls out of
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: this in that exchange. So I think there's reason enough
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: for me not to like it the Rockies.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Up at this point.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: I'm just I'm not a fan either. Really playing some
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: Rockies bats, I mean, Vasquez has been good, that rock
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: that San Diego bullpen is really good. So for me,
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: I just think I just leave it alone. I'm just
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: gonna full fade it. I see more reasons for me
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: to fade it. I just I'm not a fan of
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: the Padres at all. I mean their salaries are all
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: inflated for being in cores. I mean, at least they
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: had a thousand almost, seems like especially on DK, all
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: these guys salaries. So now I think there's more reasons
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: for me not to like it. I'll just let everybody
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: else play it. And I've already would say myself if
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: it beats me, it beats me, Like, I just leave
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: it be. I just think there's more reasons not to
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: like it. I mean, like you said, the Astros, the
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: Dodgers even you know, they didn't all fare all that
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: well there and.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Hitting a bunch of bombs.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: It's been cold there too, so but yeah, I'm gonna
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: fade at needs.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: I'm leaving it be. I wouldn't even call it.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: The teas in the top of my rankings as far
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: as bats go, and if you look at most aptos,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: he's the top bat. I don't I wouldn't even have
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: my top ten today, to be honest with you, Nates, Yeah.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I'm with you there.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: I will say this is the best hitting weather it's
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: been in course field. It's gonna be eighty degrees. I'm
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: like twelve plus mine hour winds blown out to center field.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: But it's just this Podys lineup doesn't excite me.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, look at this, Look at this team in
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: terms of strikeouts, you know the right he's right, pound
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: the ball on the ground with Nolander. I mean, it's
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: just not an exciting team. Yeah, Jackson Merrill, Gavin Sheets,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: I think are fine. Mini sack there and maybe you
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: just do that right, Maybe Jackson Merril, Gavin Sheets pulls
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: a Max Munsey from Friday Night right where Munsey's really
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: the only guy you need it from. From the Dodgers
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: and these other teams in really good hitting environments on
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: other places on the slate get there in that way.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm under on the Padres. I will call
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: out a couple of bats on the Rocky side, Mickey Moniac, Goodman,
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Troy Johnson, those three I think are interesting. But you
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: really want the lefties against Vasquez. It's just it's tough
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: for me to stack any team anytime all year against
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: the padres Is because how good that bullpen is. But
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: I will say Mickey Moniac, I think is a really
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: good play Hunter Goodman spend up to beat Contrari and
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: a catcher there.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: I think is interesting there.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: So actually lean if picking aside the Rockies mini stacks
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: more than the Padres with ownership considered, but Rockies are
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: still going to get played on the slate just because
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: of corse Field.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Everybody looks at that weather, she's the hitting environment.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Everyone thinks Randy Vasquez, like like I just said, is
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: not good and that he's pitching over his head and
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: at smoking mears. But we attacked him a ton last year.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Didn't work out, and any type you got a picture
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: like like Vasquez, I think what he's got six different
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: pitches he can throw. It takes some time for some
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: of those guys to uh to to figure out the
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: pitch arsenal at this level.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Next game, Angels, Blue Jay's Patrick Corbyn back in Our
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Lives for Toronto here, Jack Coachanowitz, I love this game
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: for DFS on on one side for sure. Blue Jays
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: I think are interesting. They've just been absolutely horrendous.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: But talk to me here the night window kicks off
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Blue Jays Angels Anaheim here. In terms of hitting weather
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: in this one, I don't think it's bad, but I
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: don't think it's great by by any means compared to
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: other areas. You're gonna get some wind blown out, but
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be in the sixties. Got like twelve mine
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: hour wins blown out, which does help. And it is
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: gonna play favorable for five ball guys. And Angel's been murdering.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: They're gonna throw in eight ridies out against Patrick Corbyn.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: What do you see here?
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think my favorite stack of the whole day,
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: or the Angels, if you ask me, I think all
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: these ritis here, I mean Attell, Trout and Netto Solaire.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: I think all these guys are in play against Patrick Corbyn.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: He's been giving up a four to twenty six Wolba
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: so far this year, two fifty nine. ISO's been giving
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: up thirty two percent fly balls. I mean Patrick Corbyn,
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: what is he forty five now? I don't even know.
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: I mean he's got to be up there in age.
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: But I think the Angels bats, I mean the Angels
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: bats have been really good here so far to start
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: out the year. I mean they've been a top offense.
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: So yeah, let me have it. I think it's a
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: it's a great spot here for these Angels. And then
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: on the other side, I think the Blue Jays are
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: also interesting here against Cocana, which, as you mentioned, they're
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: really cheap. I think Varshow is a guy that I
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: think I would start with. He'd be my favorite play
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: of all of them. But uh, I mean, you got
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: a fairly cheap stack. I think you've got some opportunity
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: for some runs. That Angel bullpen is just trash, so
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: I think definitely an opportunity for some runs. But man,
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: I think the rightings of these Angels stand out, especially
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: at the top. Trout's been smacking the shit out bought
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: and seeing him play so well in a long time.
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: I think he's definitely played Adele's and play netto. I
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: just I really like the top half of this lineup
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: for the Angels, especially all the rightings they're gonna see.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: I mean Patrick Corbyn, I mean it's always fun to
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: stack against Patrick Corbyn.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: I mean he stinks.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can obviously steal netto Trout double stoled yesterday.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: I expect more of the same there.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Von Grissom if he gets on at twenty two hundred
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: at second base was a dogship position. He's dirt cheap,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: He'll run Piazza, who's been absolutely murdering lefties on the ear.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: He'll run.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: He's thirty two hundred, So yeah, I'm with you. I
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: love the Angels here. Does give me some slight concerns
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: with the bullpen, but I just looked at their bullpen.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: I expect Brandon Fisher to be unavailable. One of their
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: better arms, Jeff Hoffmans, likely unavailable. He's got forty three
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: pitches in the last.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Three days there.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: Louis varl just threw twenty pitches yesterday. I expect him
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: to be unavailable. So I mean, Tyler Rodgers is probably
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: their best arm that could pitch again. He threw only
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: nine pitches yesterday. Mason Fleury, who is a lefty, he's
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: a good arm there, but again a lefty with all
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: these righty power, and the Angels murder left handed. And
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: then you get to guys like Tommy Nance right, who's
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: got a one point six to two whip thirty five
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: years old, right, nothing nothing crazy over a six era right.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: So their bullpen is very good, right, the best in
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: the best in the league to start the year. But
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: the better arms are taxed, right, and I don't think
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: we're going to see them so that's what puts me
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: on the Angels with you. I think I have them
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: second overall in terms of my second favorite stack on
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: the slate. We're gonna get to a team later that
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: is my favorite. But yeah, I love the Angels here,
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: love them all. Their ownership is not coming there. I
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: mean they're gonna be on the Rockies are projected for
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: higher ownership than what the Angels are. Give me the
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Angels all day. Love the Angels here. Blue Jay side
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: are fine. Don't love it Angels. Bullpen's not great, don't
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: Varshaw I think is an elite play on this slate,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: Haytus Sanchez. You want the lefties against Coachannawitz there. The
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: issue is is they just don't have a lot of
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: great lefties. I mean, Luke is probably gonna get pinched
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: hip four after that. Varshow Sanchez would be my two
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: favorite Blue Jays. I think they're fine, but I definitely
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: lean the Angel side of this one. Next game, Athletics
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Mariners Jacob Lopez and the mom Luis Castile Iden interest
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: in both these pitchers. Lopez, if you had a punt
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: down there, just chasing strikeouts. The Mariners do strike out
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: even though they do have guys in there that that
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: could hit a home on. But Lopez five and a
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: half k prop juice to the over. I think he
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: can be serviceable enough. I don't really like this game
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: too much.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: From offense.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: If I had to pick a side, it'd be the Mariners,
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: and you want those righty bats, Jay Rod, Randy at Rose.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Areno standouts up there. I would very caught.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: I would caution people with Rob Refschneider, he probably gets
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: two at bats max, because once Lopez is out of there,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: he's gone. Same thing with the guy like Conor Jel
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: He's two k though, so it matters last I mean,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: talk to me here Seattle Athletics.
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the reason I like Seattle is his Lopez has
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: just had so many issues with his control here in
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: recent times. But I feel like if he starts walking
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: a few guys, I mean, we could see, you know,
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: a lot of crooked numbers being put up early here
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: because the Mariners definitely have some power from the right side,
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: as we know, I mean Raley, Julio, Randy Rosearania Garver.
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't mind these guys are Freschneiders up there.
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: As you mentioned, you know that's a danger for him
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: getting pinch hit. But I mean, I like the writing's
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: here against Lopez. I mean, I know we talked earlier
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: you could use Lopez. Maybe it was one of the
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: cheaper pitchers you could look at after we didn't really
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: like anything below a K.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: But I think you can make an argument for both sides.
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, with his control issues, you know,
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: I just I don't like the park, so I'm not
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: gonna put Seattle up all that high. But if you
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: had to ask me to choose, I think I'd just
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: rather choose the righty's instead of Lopez overall in this game.
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I think it's definitely interesting. On the other side,
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: I really don't have too much interest in going against
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: Castillo at home. I just over long haul, that's just
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: not something that you're gonna win money on.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: He's been very good at home.
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: He's just not a DFS type pitcher that's gonna overpower
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: everybody get a bunch of k's. But at home, I mean,
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: he's been absolutely lights out. So I don't know what
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: it is. They like them k's and all these feels
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: good out there in Seattle. I don't know what it Is,
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: but you don't want to mess with Lewis out there
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: in Seattle. But yeah, I think those rities are definitely
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: interesting for me. I mean maybe if you wanted to
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: pick some one offs, I think there's all kinds of
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: power hunting to be had there for them that right
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: side for Seattle.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think this is a better strike on
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: matchup than normal for Castillo. He pitches better at home.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: People are asking why he's ninety one hundred on the slate.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: I think that's everyone's thought, right, Why is he priced
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: up there when guys like Blubitch McLean things like that
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: are cheaper.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: That's also gonna think, I think, take people away from him.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: And I'm more than happy to sign up with a
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: team that strikes out top ten in baseball against right
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: hand and pitching in the best one of the best
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: pitching parks in baseball. And you got guys at the
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: back half like Max Munsey who have a forty plus
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: percent strike out right, Denzel Clark, I mean, hell, even
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: Nick Kurtz.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: I just think castillo Is is really good in general here,
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: So yeah, more pitching than offense in here. If again,
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Mariners probably slide in probably.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Sixth maybe eighth something like that.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: They're on the board, but they're not up the board
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: in terms of my interest overall, White Sox Dbacks, Merril Kelly,
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Sean Berg roof is going to be open here in Arizona.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: It's like ninety some degrees.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: There is really really heavy wind blown out here, but
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: the stadium does mitigate the wind obviously with the heights.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Overall, but I love this game.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: My favorite stack on the board here is the d
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: Backs against on Burke and that and that White Sox bullpen.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: D Backs gonna get some ownership, but they're equal to
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: a team like Kansas City. I mean some of those
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: some of those Rockies bats like, I don't really care.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: I'm pushing the chips in on Arizona. I absolutely love
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: them here tonight.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: And then I don't think the White Socks are the
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: craziest play because I think if people do punt pitcher
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: or spend down at pitcher, their first.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Stop is to Merrill Kelly, which I want fault anyone.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: But this White Sox team has power, especially against Righty's Murakami,
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: Ben and Tendee Montgomery.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Perreira has been really, really good.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: You got a super cheap bat in at twenty six hundred,
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: hitting me in the mid part of that order. So
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: White Sox are are pretty sneaky as well, gonna be
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: significantly less owned. They're full nining at bats, the exact
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: same hitting environments Arizona bullpen, nothing crazy. They've been good
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: to start the year, but I don't expect that to
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: continue here. Definitely leaning the d Backs side overall, but
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: I think the White Sox are a fairly interesting as well.
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: What he's here, Yeah, I got the Dbacks just slightly
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: behind the Angels.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: The righties for the Angels, but I mean, how do
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: you not.
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: Like the lefties here against Burke, who is is probably
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: their better young pitcher, but I mean he does have
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: some strike out ability to the right side, but the
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: left side he's been down a little bit so far
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: this year only sixty percent is Woba's at three thirty
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: four to the left side twenty nine percent fly balls.
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: Corbyn Carroll is absolutely smacking the shit out of the
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: baseball to start the season so far. I think Perdermo
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: is in a pretty good spot here tonight. I like
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: him sitting in a three hole Marday of course, So
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: I mean they're gonna see what six lefties he's gonna see.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: So I don't mind them at all. Like you mentioned too,
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: I mean the hitting conditions are good. I think the
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: lefties I like attacking that White Sox bullpen. But yeah,
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: I mean if they can get to Burke, I mean,
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: it could be a long night. I think for me,
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: the Angels in Arizona is a stack could be looking
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: that you can basically jam in almost any pitcher you want.
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I think it's it's for me. It's just
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: it's funny. When we came on, we both kind of
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: mentioned the two teams we like. We just disagree on
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: maybe who's one and two. But I mean going against Corsefield,
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: I prefer them both over Corsefield in those San Diego
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: bats by quite a bit of a margin in my opinion.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. We're in lockstep there. So yeah,
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: I love this game. Definitely more more d backs for me.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: But I don't think the White Sox are are crazy.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: By any means.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: I'll definitely be over on the on the White Sox
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: and tournaments just because I'm gonna attack this game.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Environment ninety plus degrees in Arizona.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the wind doesn't really affect it too much because
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: obviously the stadium's built up so much. But again, I
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: just I don't think this is a bad spot on
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: either side for offense.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: Would you go game stack and that?
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: Actually I would, But here's the thing, Like, it depends
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: how many teams I'm playing. If I'm playing five, I
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: probably I definitely have a game stack in that one.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: If I'm playing three, I probably wouldn't get to that
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: point yet, but I mean I would have it.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Up there fairly high up.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: If I'm playing a handful of teams five or more,
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: for sure, i'd have that game stacked up.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: I don't mind that one at all.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: And then i'd stack up that Toronto and Angel game
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: as well, So I don't mind that one either. But
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: if you wed asked me which one I would probably
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: rather stack, it'd be this one. As you mentioned, with
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: the weather the roof being open, I think both teams
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: have an opportunity to put up some runs, and.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: That's stet White Sox. That stack is cheapest, I mean,
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: it's basically free.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: I would also say they fit together really good as
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: a stack, because obviously you want Murakami. You look at
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: the d backs first, baseman. Yeah, you could play Vargas
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: or Fernandez, but I'd rather side with a guy Murakami
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: who has a shit ton of power against right handed pitching,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Colston Montgomery if you wanted to pivot to him instead
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: of Perdomo, I lean to Perdomo, but Montgomery's always great
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: and that Ben Attendee. So I mean, you can go
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: a five man d back stack with two white socks
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: hitting one to two in this order who both murder
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: right handed pitching to start the year, and they fit
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: together really, really good as a game stack. So that's
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: something I also look at when I take a look
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: at potentially game stacking. The game is, okay, Number one,
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: how many lineups do I have right if I'm playing
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: one to three teams? Probably don't gamestack this because there's
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: other There's eighteen total teams on the slate, including coors
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: Field and other really good hitting environments with really good
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: offenses on the slate, So you have to have really
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: everything go your way. But the second thing is how
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: how do they fit together in terms of stacks? What
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: positions don't I want in my five man stack for
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: the team I'm looking at, and what does the other
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: side have to offer. Is it someone who I play
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: regardless of if I'm game stacking or not.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: If that's the answer, then yes, I'm more than happy
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: game stacking.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: And I think these two teams fit really well together
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: in terms of building a roster overall.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Last game of the slate.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: Dodgers Giants slanting Roop on the mound Yamamoto two pitchers
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: I think are in play Landing Roop. Yeah, you don't
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: love picking up the Dodgers, but he's been really good.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: This ballpark sucks. Dodgers gonna be unowned. I hate targeting.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: I hate playing teams coming out of cours, especially when
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: the price points are all inflated.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, could the Dodgers do it? Yeah? They could.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: Dalton Rushing would be my favorite play, just because this
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: dude is absolutely murdering baseball's and he's forty two hundred dollars.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna click him.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: Freeland Kim, I'd look at more of the cheaper bats,
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: but this is more of a pitchers or bust for
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: me here. I don't really want to play bats in
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: this park, especially when it's fifty degrees out there in
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: San fran What do you see here?
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah? You met and you mentioned, uh, Dalton, they're rushing.
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, dudes got what eight homers in like ten
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: games or some shit like that games.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Eight homers in seven games.
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's crazy. But uh, you know, I it's
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: just too tough here to play him. I mean, I
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: just I just don't like playing teams out in San Francisco.
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: You got a total of seven.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: And it's getting to the point now even when town
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: he's in there is he he's gonna start turning into
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: Barry Bonds two point zero. Man.
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: He's just getting walked quite a bit.
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm I watch a lot of these baseball games,
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: and it's just like any opportunity teams have that's not
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: you know, gonna where they can walk them, They're just
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: they're putting them on. I think you got walked like
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: twice yesterday, one time to load up the bases, which
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: I don't blame them, but still, you know, it's just
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: that's not.
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: What we want.
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: We don't want walks, we need, we need homer. What
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: is that dude got fifty two games in a row.
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: I think he's got on base or something. Aids that
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: being old Tony So but other than that, I don't
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: see any reason to play it other than if you
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: wanted to have the argument. Anytime you can get the
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: Dodgers on a you know, low loaned on a slate. Uh,
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: this is an opportunity for you. I just don't like to,
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: you know, the way it lines up. But I mean, hey,
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: I I can't fault you if you want to play
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: the Dodgers, I really can't, But I just I don't
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: like where they're at here today.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. There takes us to the end
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: of the slate, tire or the end of the show.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Excuse me.
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: Give your favorite pitchers, your your top arm, and then
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: your favorite person to pair with him, your top stacks,
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: your top let's do your top overall stack or your
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: favorite over stack, and then your favorite sneaky stack, and
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: then a home run call for the people.
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: All right pitching.
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: You know, it's just really for me, it'd be those
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: top five guys as we spoke about. And I mean,
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: if you really are playing in large field tournaments, I
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: think that's more where I would be looking at like
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: that that that Wrigley Field game, just because you know,
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: with those guys being in there, nobody's gonna double click
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: those two, I think really for me, I think i'd
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: probably go Bubikuan Yamamoto too. Then I'd go Shota McLain
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: and then probably Lizardo. Other than that, I think I
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: wouldn't play anybody else. As far as stacks go, I
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: got the Angels. As I mentioned with the d Backs,
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: I think my sneaky stack actually probably would be the Cubbies.
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: I think against Laza, I think if I was gonna
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: have a Loan sneaky stack, I think that would be it.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: And as far as a home run call here today Maids.
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: I think for me, man, let's just call it, uh,
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: I'm going with the old fella Mike Trout, but I
• 57:17
  Speaker 5: would like I almost said Dalton bar Show, but I
• 57:19
  Speaker 5: think I'm gonna go with Mike Trout.
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the old fella here tonight.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: I like it. I like it. My favorite picture is
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: gonna be Yamamoto.
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: I like Yamamoto a ton I'm gonna go Nolan McLean
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: as number two. I like pairing those guys up a lot.
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: I think both arms are really good. D backs are
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: my favorite overall stack on the slates. Number two is
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: gonna be the Angels, so I'm with you there. And
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: then third is gonna be Pirates for me. So I
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: think the Pirates are really interesting. They're gonna be unknown
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: Kumar Rocker. I'm just not a believer in. I know
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: all the hype building up to him, he just hasn't
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: panned out. He could walk a small village here tonight.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: So in that Texas bullpen is not not great. So
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: I do like the Pirates. And then my home run call,
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna give two. I'm gonna go to the Angels
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: guy hitting right behind Mike Trout and Joe Addell.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: I like him a lot.
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: Now I'm actually gonna go to the Cubbies and pick
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: on Hasus Lozzardo. I'm gonna go to the five spot,
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: twenty nine hundred dollars catcher Carson Kelly, historic lefty masher
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: gonna be un owned, super cheap at a catcher position
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: which isn't historically great. I think Carson Kelly's a really,
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: really good option. The dude's got like a three hundred
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: and some ISO against left handed pitching on the year. Obviously,
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: in his whole career, he's made a career basically off
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: of murdering left handed pitching, so Lozaro's not been great
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: to start the year. He got some win boost there
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: and regular price is good. I like Carson Kelly a
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: decent amount there. That's gonna do it appreciated. One tune in,
