MLB DFS Process | DraftKings & FanDuel Picks, Plays & Slate Breakdown | Tuesday, 09/22/26 · Daily Fantasy Sports by Ship It Nation

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: What is going on, everybody? Happy Tuesday. G. Risen and
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I are back talking some baseball. This is the last
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: week that we will have shows for baseball. This is
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: my last show with G. Risen of the year.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And yeah, G.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Risen, let me know. I mean, a very true, fair point.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: It's going to be our last show for a while.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Who knows what baseball has headed in the future for
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: next year with the lockout and everything.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So hopefully they can figure it out in the offseason.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And get us some baseball because, man, I don't know
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: what I would do with NBA ends, NFL ends, and
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: we have a summer without baseball. That would be not
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: something I want, and I want to find out how
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: it would be. But I'm excited for today. We got
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: 10 games on DraftKings. We got nine games on FanDuel. FanDuel,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, did not include the Tampa Bay and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the Yankees games. So, again, we usually talk DraftKings. Pretty similar,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: DraftKings and FanDuel. But, yeah, that game's not on it
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: in terms of weather. No weather to really worry about.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I see some yellow, some yellow-green, but all these games.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yellow means pretty good for me, so we're going to
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: talk like it all plays. We got Michael W., Gang Green,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and Nate in here. Gang Green has a safety meeting
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: going on.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Love to hear that.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: G-Ryzen, I know you probably had a couple safety meetings today,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: but how are you doing today?
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Man, I had a couple. That's all right. That's for sure.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I've been fighting the sinus bug, been kicking my ass
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: up here in the Midwest with all this rain and
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: shit we've had.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Mr.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Sinus Man's been beating me up a little bit. So
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: kind of was laying low today, just had a kind
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: of relaxing day, which is nice because normally I'm like
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: balls to the wall, doing all kinds of crazy shit
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: all day with the day job. But yeah, glad to
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: get on here. As you said, this could be one
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: of our last shows, especially with the lockout that's looming.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, DFS will still do something. Maybe
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: it'll be KBO or some AAA bullshit or something that
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: they'll put out there just because they know we're D-gens.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'd rather him go the AAA route because
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: then we can kind of get ahead of what's coming
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: up instead of like the KBO. So I was kind
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: of thinking that could end up being the case. You
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: don't know. Who knows? But as I was telling you, Tito, man,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I'm glad there ain't a camera in my basement, man,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: because before I came on the show, I thought, you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: we're getting the last week. I'm going to pull out
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: my ship at hockey jersey. You know, it's a good
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: time to get it out. Had it hanging up down
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: here in the basement and I go grab it off
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the the, uh, the, the rack there and I'd be damned.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: There wasn't a spider hanging off the back. And I
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: screamed and was like, ah, if there was a camera
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: down here, I'll be calling me Caleb Williams. But, uh, yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, pretty style. It didn't, I didn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: expect to see that. Uh, my, it was like a
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: penny size one too. It was a nice one. That
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: would have splattered all over the damn place. But either way,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: we got some good baseball. I mean, today when I
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: was studying for some baseball, just looking at it, I'm like, man,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: it's a time of year. You got to pay attention
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to what teams are still in it, which ones are not,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: you know, who's going to pull their starters. Some of
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: these teams are rolling out Mickey Mouse lineups, you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: to get some guys that, you know, they got sitting
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: on the end of that 40 man bench to map bats,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you I mean, yeah, we got all kinds of stuff
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: we got to get through. But yeah, that difference in
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: the game there, New York and Tampa, that's what, second
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: game of a doubleheader. Usually FanDuel don't have doubleheader games
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: on their slate. But I was watching that one earlier, Title,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: because Tampa, if they win one of them games, I
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: believe they pretty much have that division lock. So if
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the Yankees can win four games, They got a shot
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: down there. So kind of watching that, thinking, you know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Max Freed, you know, how long is he going to go?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is almost like a do-or-die game kind
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: of for the Yankees if they're going after that division,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: even though we know they're going to make the playoffs.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: But still, I think they'd want to get some home
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: field advantage So yeah, that was something to be said.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Rasmussen too would have mattered in that game. Don't know
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: how long, you know, they would have let him go
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: if they would have already clinched it earlier today. So
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I think that was something that, uh, definitely was, uh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: hovering over the slate a little bit today, but yeah,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: good time to, uh, Good time of year. Hey, got
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: to give you a little shout out. Saw you kick
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: some ass last night in some showdown. Came up there with, what,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: 17 or 18 of you up at the top there
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: with the Devontae Adams captain last night. I mean, shit,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: you were like one of 8% that didn't have Dart
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: in their lineup last night. in that big tournament. He
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: was like 30% captain or something, too. I mean, it
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: was pretty high. But, yeah, congrats to you. Good to
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: see some familiar faces. I saw our man Rio up
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: there in the top of a tournament on this week, just,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you know, one spot shy of the Millie. So, congrats
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: to him. But, man, all kinds of winners rolling around
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: here at Ship It, but exciting times. But, man, I'm
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: glad football's back. We're getting to that time where baseball's just,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I won't say it's beating me down a little bit,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: but it's just not as fruitful as it once was
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: with football going on. You know, I kind of play limited.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I don't play as much as I do during the
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: regular season at this time of year when it starts
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: getting sketchy with the players and all. But, hey, we're
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: still going to play a little bit tonight, have some fun,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: and maybe we can get some extra shekels for this weekend.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I'm still on the baseball streets, mainly cash. Tournaments have
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: come down a little bit in terms of prizes.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate it, G. Risen. I appreciate it, Nades.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Someone else said congrats, too. Thank you, D. Witt. Appreciate that. Yeah,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, I had 80.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I played 60 teams. 56 of my 60 had Jackson darts. So,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, I even put in the Discord. I said
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: on the Thursday when he got hurt. I mean, super,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: super lucky. Again, four live teams when he goes down
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and one of them gets to the top. Sometimes it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: better to be lucky than good, and I will definitely
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: take that yesterday. So I appreciate everyone saying congrats. Yeah,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the hockey sweater on. Pop Stoner's ready for some hockey,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: talking about Nades. Our hockey guy over here about some Habs.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Goalie hot takes. And I hear Habs.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I think of my man Cole Caulfield. So, hey, NBA's
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: going to be here before you know it. NHL's going
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to be here before you know it. We have you
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: covered in those sports, but we do have golf that's
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: still going on. Of course, MLB's still going on. MMA's
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: always going on. NASCAR's going on. college football, and NFL. So,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: so much going on over here at The Nation during
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the best time of the year for sports. So, again,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: if you do want to join us, so many sports
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: going on, six of them to be exact. We do
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: have an NFL-only deal that gets you in the ship
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: at games, over $ 45, 000 given away. You get Saberson, you
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: get the Discord, but I assume you guys are watching
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the MLB show, so you want to get some MLB content.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Bottom left, join The Nation. For five days, you can
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: get in for $ 19. 00. Again, I think that's a good
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: time to try it out with six sports going on.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: You can see that trial right here, Sabre Sim and
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the Discord. But also, if you know you want to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: be with us for the month, for the year, it
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: only gets cheaper as you go up for duration of time. Starter,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I think, is the best deal. You get 400 more
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: lineups than Core. You can late swap. You get Sabre
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Sim's projections and ownership as well as ours. And you
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: get contest flashback to see what the pros are doing.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: If you're playing thousands of dollars a month, I do
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: think contest Sims and the ability to build 5,000 teams
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: It's something you're probably looking at as most of the
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: pros throwing in a lot of teams. I mean, I
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: play professionally. It's weird calling myself a pro, but I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: definitely do use the ultimate package at Sabresim and have
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: for a while.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: What's up, Clint?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Great to see you. ALS in here as well. Anyone
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: else I miss? DeKine, Bale, Bonds hat. Yeah, this is
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the DeKine. I think it's DeKine. I could be mispronouncing it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Someone at the poker table actually in Vegas, a Brazilian player,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Let me know what it is. It's a surfing company,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I believe he said, and it used to ride the board. So, hey,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you learn something new every single day. Again, ALS in here,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Pop Stoner.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: What's up, Jake?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Great to see you. I hope I did not miss
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: anyone in chat. Hope everyone out there having a great day. Again,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: we'd love to have you at The Nation, but we're
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: bringing you free shows pretty much every single day. And
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: all we do ask is the like button and the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: subscribe button. It helps us out a ton. Again, sharing
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: our partner, Optimizer, over here at SaberSim. And right here,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you can see we're taking the average of Shippenation and
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: SaberSim projections and ownership. And again, starter and above, you
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: have the ability to get the second set of projections
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: and ownership over here at SaberSim. Look at that pop stoner.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: You can get $ 2 of your eyes in and buy some.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: That was very nice of you. All right. I say we.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I'd say we get right into it, G.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Rison.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Again, we are going to have to talk Max Fried
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: and Rasmussen, two guys on DraftKings, two of the four
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: highest-priced pitchers on the slate. I think it's going to
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: be relatively spread out if we're just sorting by ownership.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Imanaga is coming in number one. I mean, the Marlins
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: team's garbage. Only replied for 2.9 runs. A good money
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: line for Imanaga. Again, the lowest total on the slate
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: are the Marlins. After that, Logan Gilbert's.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: J.R.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Ritchie, if someone is going to want to punt, it
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: looks like people will go there. I'm not sure he's
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: going to be 24%, maybe, if you do want to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: spend up at bats. And then Taj Bradley, Max Freed, Rasmussen.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: So just looking at ownership, every single one but one guy.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: So five of the top six are all 9K and above.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So it is a slate. I do expect many to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: spend up at pitching.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: And, again, after the Rasmussen, and, again, only 11%, Freed 13%,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: no one projected for double-digit ownership. So we'll go– Let's go.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: We'll go 8K and above like I usually have in
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the past. Sean Minaya, 8K. Don't think he'll have much interest.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, though.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: All the way up to Taj Bradley. A loaded– I mean,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say loaded. For the slates, I've been
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: on the shows lately talking pitching. This is a lot
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: better than most. So what do you think at pitching?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess we can move our way up. Minaya–
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not really interested in him. He's only had, I
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: think his last couple games, I can double check. In
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: my mind, I say he's had low pitch counts. He
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: has 67, 61. So I'm not going there. I mean,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: this is the kind of time of year, too, people
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: are willing or teams are willing to pull out their
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: starters a little bit early. As you said, they got
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: deeper benches. They got more arms they want to use,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: bats they want to use. I'm not interested in Sasaki Gore.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's been struggling so bad here in recent
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: times with his control. I mean, Gore is a guy
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I've been using throughout the year. I just can't do
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: it the last, you know, six or five or six weeks.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: He's just not been good. So I'm not interested in Gore.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: King against the Dodgers. I just I just I can't
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: do that. So now we're going to get up here
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: in the top five. So like you said, a lot
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: of high end pitching here today. And Mamaga does get
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a pretty good matchup against Miami with that wind blowing in.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: So I'm not really worried about his fly ball lane
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: that we normally have. As you mentioned, I mean, you
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: get a discount off Taj Bradley at $ 1, 000, who is
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: actually my favorite pitcher today. He's had the best recent form.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: So Bradley, for me, is my SP1. And I'd go
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Emamaga would be my SP2. So those would be the
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: two I'd play. I think that's going to be a
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: fairly chalky pair, actually, today, unless you want to pay
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: up for the Marizona bats. But either way, I think
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Bradley against that San Francisco team out there in San Francisco,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: we're looking at a game total 7.5. Bradley, his last
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: 30 days has looked pretty good as far as strikeouts go.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: He's at 34.5% the righties, 31.5% the lefties. His control's
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: been a little bit off to lefties, as it kind
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: of has been all year. But they don't really have
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: too many patients over there in that San Francisco lineup.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I'd say the only one that I'd call with any
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: kind of patience is Marcelo Mayer. Everybody else is not
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: really looking too good there. But Bradley, I mean, he's
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: given up a little power. I just don't really worry
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: about it here with the Giants and this lineup that
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: they're throwing out. So Bradley, for me, is by far
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: my favorite. I mean, Zebby Matthews last night had nine strikeouts.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: So I think Bradley is a much better pitcher. Now,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: this Tampa Bay Yankee game is definitely interesting. You know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: as I mentioned, the Yankees need to win all four
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: of those games. I could see the Rays letting Rasmussen
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: go a little bit here, especially since they didn't win
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: earlier today. So I think Rasmussen would definitely be in
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: my pool against the Yankees. But I think that's more
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: of a GPP pivot. off of somebody like Bradley and
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: for me, really, and Imamaga. I mean, if you want
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: to go Max Freed, I think I like him a
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: little bit more now that that game, the Yankees did
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: win that game. So I think Freed is somebody that
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I'd also leave here in my pool. So, I mean,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: he did get up to almost 90 pitches. Coming off
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: the IL, he's only had, what, three or four starts.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: So if I can get maybe 90 pitches out of
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Max Freed, I do like it. I don't like the
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: strikeout matchup, but I do think I could throw him
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: in the pool as a pivot. off of Emanga and Bradley.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: And then Gilbert, for me, he's just struggled at home
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: really bad. So I don't know. I mean, the Mariners
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: don't have anything to play for. I mean, they don't.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I just worry about that matchup there
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: with Gilbert in Houston. His strikeout's been down a little
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: bit to righties. He's been getting beat up at home.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: So I'd leave Gilbert out. But for me, Bradley one,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Emanga two, and then I'd probably go Rasmussen, Freed, And
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: then I got a couple of guys maybe I could
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: look at down below, but I call them whiskey type plays.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: But either way, I think Bradley for me is by
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: far the lock button on this slate, especially with what
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: we're dealing with today. I like his leash that he's got.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's already been on a team that's been
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: out of it for a while and he's been getting
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: the pitch count we're looking for. Gets a good matchup
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: against San Fran. There's no reason to overthink it. He'd
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: be my favorite.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Makes a lot of sense.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I have a, Like if I'm playing 20 teams or less,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I would strongly consider just playing Imanaga 9K up to
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Bradley 10K and just rotating these five. Again, Max Friedman,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I see 13%. That's intriguing. Let me ask you this, G-Ryzen.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: So in the far right, you can see Sabreson does
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: have average projected number of pitches thrown. Do any of
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: these in the top five, because we are at that
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: time of year where it's a little harder to project pitches.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Do any of these on the far right look too
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: light or too heavy?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: No, I'd say that's probably about right. I think maybe
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Bradley's a little light at 90. I think he could
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: probably go a little bit deeper than that, especially with
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: that matchup against San Francisco. I think the Yankees would
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: want Freed to have more than 90 pitches because that
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: means they're probably winning the game. So I think that
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: would be in play. They want to get to the
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: back of that bullpen. But, yeah, I mean, I don't
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: mind that. I mean, some of the guys down below,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: like– I mean.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: We could talk about it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Like, I really do not like this rain much.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: J.R.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Ritchie, I mean, we definitely have projected higher than the industry.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I projected higher than I would have them, 15.11. I mean,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Ritchie hasn't really shown me anything to be confident in.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: With that being said, if you do look here, Braves
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: only implied for 4.1 runs, which isn't great. Braves are
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: implied for 5'4. He's a decent-sized favorite. I think Kikuchi
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: is a little interesting down below.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And then Soroka.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I don't like playing pitchers in Coors, but he's 7,200. Again,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: all of these guys, too. 85 pitch count, 88 for Kikuchi,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and 83 for Ritchie. Like, if I am paying down,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I want my guys to have the possibility to be
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: extended if they are having a good start. Other guys,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: like I said, I... I just can't make a case,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think, for anyone else. Do you have any
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: interest in Soroka, Richie, Kikuchi? And then is there any
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: yes or no? And then is there anyone I didn't
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: have interest in or mention that you would have interest in? Again, 7.7
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Robleski all the way down to Basso.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Soroka for me, I'm out on that one. I'm
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: not really wanting to play any pitching in course field.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Kikuchi.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I hope to God everybody else plays Kikuchi because that
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: guy's just not been good. His strikeout's been bad. He's
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: been controlling all over the damn place, been walking a
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: lot of guys. So Kikuchi for me, I'm not even
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: considering Kikuchi. Like I said, I hope everybody else plays
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: that guy. But for me, I think also that, oh, man,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I think I could probably maybe stomach, man, I think
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I could stomach Javier a little bit. I think I
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: could stomach him just because if you're looking for a
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: guy down below, I think I could stomach Javier. I
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: don't really like going too much further, but yeah, I
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: don't really like too much down below.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Again, it would be something like this for me. Um,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I'll keep Javier cause you mentioned them. I already X
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: out Richie. I'd be fine to keep them, but I don't,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: don't really like it. I did take a good amount
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: of ownership away from Richie and added to Kikuchi. Cause
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I do think that he is under owned right now,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: or we have them under projected ownership than what he's
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: going to come up or come in at.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: My pitching pool would look something like this and I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: would definitely cap, uh, these guys down below, something like this.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: And I would be fine getting absolutely none of these
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: three as well. The more teams you build, the more
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: you should extend your pool, of course. But I think
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: you pick two of Imanaga in between Bradley and you
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: roll with it from there. And again, you do have
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: different ownership buckets as well, depending on how chalky your
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: team is.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: There's always enough cheap bats on the slate, like we
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: talk about.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: There's one other guy too, like you could maybe look
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: at Molina from the Giants, but I mean, he's pretty
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: good against righties, but he's going to see one, two, three, four, five,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: you know, five or six lefties from Minnesota. And, I mean,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: against lefties, he's, you know, not been all that great, 18%.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: He gets barreled up. But he's been very good against righties.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's just, you know, I guess if I
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: was in a deep pool, I think I'd leave Molina
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: in my pool.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Okay. That's very fair.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: We do need some, or like we don't need– Cheap bats,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: like the Diamondbacks, in Coors, on the road, it's a
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: very clear spot. They only have two players above 5K, though,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: in Marte 5-2, Corbin Carroll 5-3. You can still spend
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: up at top-tier pitching and play the D-backs. Now, a
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: lot of people will do that, so I'd be a
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: little cautious when it comes to ownership, which is why
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I think leaving the cheaper guys in the pool is
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: fine if you do want to play Coors. Again, you're
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: getting a cheaper pitcher when you don't really need it.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Back in the day, DK actually priced Almost all of
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: the whole lineup above 4K and then plenty in the 5K.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Not the case anymore, which will lead to mega, mega chalk.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: But when you are five-manning the D-backs, I think that's
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: where you should look to get a little difference at pitching.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: All right, let's swap on over to the Stone, the
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: best tool in DFS. Shout out to the big man
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: in the sky that brought it over to us at Shippenation.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: And now we do have it for every single sport above,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: as you can see. And the Stone 2.0, which allows
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: you to virtual hand-build and plug in different guys. Here,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I'll just click it real quick. We haven't showed off
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: the Stone 2.0 very much. But yeah, as you can see,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: you can sort by projection. You can sort by DK ranking, catcher,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: first base, third base. If you do want to see
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: hitter stats, you have that ability as well. Fan duel, DraftKings.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: And then just say, yeah, like a pitcher. All right,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I know I want to play Freed. I know I
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: want to play Rasmussen. And you can see down here
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: how much money per player you have, what's the ownership
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: looking at, and all of that good stuff. So, yeah,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: shout out to the team over here at the Stone 2.0.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: And all sports is very good. Then you can click
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: optimize lineup.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Boom. Get your projection.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Get your ownership. How much remaining. All of that good stuff.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the actual Stone. And we will talk
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: about the first game of the night. And, again, this
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: is on DraftKings and not on FanDuel. Ten games on DraftKings,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: not on FanDuel. This is the one difference, the Tampa
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Bay Rays and the New York Yankees. Drew Rasmussen, Max
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Fried on the mound. I mentioned these are two of
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: the pitchers I have interest in, so I will not
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: be playing bats.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Personally, what about you? Doesn't happen often, G. Rison, but
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: you are on mute.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: You know, that's the first freaking time all year, too.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I'll blame it on the signage issue. But, I mean,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: is this the first time we've seen a game total
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: of six in the regular season? That's like a playoff-type line.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: So, for me, I mean, there ain't no reason to
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: even consider playing any kind of offenses. But this game
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: total would have been way different if Tampa would have
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: won earlier because Tampa would probably roll out some shit lineup. So, but, yeah,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, no reason to push either one of these
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: two guys. I think they're both respectable pitchers. And, you know,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: game total sitting at six. And then we got that
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Cubs game sitting at six and a half. So getting
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: that time of year title, getting to be cold, wind
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: blowing in, ball's not going to fly. But, yeah, those
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: two games definitely have a little bit of meaning today.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's an easy one.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Pop Stoner goes, so who's going to be hosting KBO
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: before a lock title because he's in Arizona? I will
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: put that as a 0% chance, Pop Stoner. Even when
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: all that was going on, I was a team League
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: of Legends over KBO.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I was in those streets, so.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: You will not be finding, there could be no baseball
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and you still will never touch, see me touching KBO.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I will leave that to, to some other people.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to, I mean, yeah, we
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: go from a pitcher's duel to a pretty high total
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: in this one.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: J.R.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Ritchie, Brandon Williamson, the Reds and the Braves. These are
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: two pitchers that I do not think are any good.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I think you can load up on either side of
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: the plate. You do prefer lefties against Ritchie. Unfortunately, there's
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: only three lefties in the Reds order, but again, he
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: can get hit from both sides.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: He is wild.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: And then Williamson, I'm fine with lefties or righties against
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: this guy. He's just a complete can. And I can
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: play this Braves lineup one through nine confidently. Something that
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: stands out, I think Baldwin might be three times as
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: owned as Sean Murphy. So if you are eating chalk
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: at a lot of other spots, I think that's one
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: way you can get difference. But yeah, I think this
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: is a great game to target on both sides. And
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: only the Braves are getting ownership. So I like the Reds.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: What about you?
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Braves are going to be one of my favorite
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: teams today, especially the righties against Williamson. As you mentioned,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: that dude sucks, man. And then you get the bullpen
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: right behind him. I mean, I think let me just
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: double check. Williamson's got more walks and strikeouts against righties.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Is that right? Yeah, I think he does. I mean,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: this guy is just not good. So, yeah, I mean,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I like all of the bats. I mean, especially with
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: that bullpen coming in behind them. So, for me, if
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I'm looking for a team that I'm trying to keep
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: up with that course field stack and that D-backs, I
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: think the Braves would definitely be on top of my
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: list to fit that mold.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree for sure.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: 2-0 for us being on the same page in the
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: first two games. Next game, not going to get much
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: ownership on either side, the White Sox and the Royals.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Daniel Lynch, Anthony Kaye on the mound. What do you
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: see in this one?
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lynch and Kaye. I mean, I don't mind picking
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: on some Lynch. I mean, he's just a low strikeout
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: lefty who's not going to get too many, you know,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: miss too many bats. So, like, I think Michael Vargas
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: is a great play. Tommy Pham, Gritchuk, Doyle. I mean,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: they could be a little pinch hit risk there, but
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I just think Lynch is a guy that we could
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: pick on. Vargas has been smashing lefties all year long,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: so I think he'd be a guy I'd leave. I
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: think maybe some mini stacks maybe for the White Sox
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: if you wanted to have him in a deeper pool. But,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, picking on that Royals bullpen isn't always a
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: bad adventure either, but Vargas for me stands out as
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: a really good play tonight.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little harder for me to get to
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: these Royals against Kay. Keeps the ball on the ground.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: He's tough on lefties. Like, you want righties when you're
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: playing against him. Too many more lefties in the Royals
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: order than I'd want. Bobby Witt, Garcia, Salve, I think
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: are the three I'm looking at. So it's more of
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: a mini-stack one-off for me in terms of the Royals.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: And then, yeah, for the White Sox against what I
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: always say, Dusty Daniel Lynch. Another guy that is tougher
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: on lefties than righties. So, yeah, I don't mind Vargas.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: What I do like about the White Sox is they
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: at least have seven of their nine batters hitting from
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: the right side. So I don't mind if you want
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: to stack a one through five. I prefer it as
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: mini stacks or three-man stacks. I don't hate one through five. Again,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: they are very cheap outside of Vargas. So if you
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: are spending up at pitcher, want to play the D-backs
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: or something, I think a White Sox is a way
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: to get different in secondary stacks. But don't love it
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: or either side when we're talking five-mans. All right, next game, Cubs.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: And the Marlins, Soto Imanaga on the mound, taking on
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Jackson Junk. Or, yeah, Jansen Junk, excuse me. I didn't mention, like,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: we talked about Imanaga. I didn't really mention the weather
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: at Wrigley. But, I mean, it's pretty gross. Ross says
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: some nagging drizzle missed, but light enough to play ball.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Cool temps and wind blowing in at 15 miles an
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: hour sustained. And then he said, or stronger. So, for
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: a park where wind means more than any single park
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: that I can think of, for baseball. When it's blowing in,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: the under or the total is a lot lower than
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: if it's blowing out. So Marlins, I'm definitely not playing
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: them regardless. And Managa's a great play, even if the
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: weather wasn't like that. The Cubs though, man, like if
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: this was a normal win, like there was no wind,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I think the Cubs would be pretty interesting against junk.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: With all the wind blowing in, they're going to be contrarian.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: So I guess that's one way to put it.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: But man, they are expensive, like 6-9 and 5-4 in
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: the first two batters. You're going to probably have to
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: spend down at pitching, and they're going to have to
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: match the D-backs and Braves if they get to the winner.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: So it's tough for me. What do you think?
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Junk's a guy we definitely like to
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: pick on. I mean, he's not missing any bats. That's
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: for damn sure with his just under 6% strikeout rate
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: to righties in the last 30 days is absolutely horrible.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: And then he's been getting barreled up almost 11% by righties.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: He's got a 465 WOBA. Uh, I mean, yeah, I mean,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: you could definitely stack up some of these cubs, but
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: like you said, with the weather blown in, we're sitting
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: at a game total six and a half, uh, cubs,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: a huge favorite minus two Oh three. So I guess
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: they really don't expect the, uh, Marlins to score many
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: runs here, but Yeah, I mean, I think it's for
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: a different day, as you mentioned. They're just a little
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: too pricey. It just seems like I'm jamming. I mean,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: I feel like the Cubs scored like seven or eight runs. Like,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'd be lucky if they hit two
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: homers in the weather conditions. Like, they're just going to
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: single and double it to death. And, you know, we
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: could have a team that hits four or five homers
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: and scores five runs that could definitely outscore the Cubbies
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: that score eight or ten runs and with a bunch of,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: you know, doubles and singles and so forth.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: So.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I just, for home run hunting, I just don't feel
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: like that's the game that we need to be looking at.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I think this is pretty sharp by DeWitt, though, talking
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: about the stolen base upside that the Cubs have today. Yeah,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I don't hate it, I guess. But, man, like 6'9 PCA,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: it just takes up so much of your roster spot
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: and the ability to spend up that pitching like I want, D-backs, Braves.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: It's a way to get contrarian. Probably not where I'm
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: going to go today, but I think there are worse
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: spots than the Cubs.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I believe the Cubs are like a win or two
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: away from clinching a wild card spot too.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Definitely ain't clinching no division. They're not going to.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Win the division, but I still think they could clinch
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: a wild card, so they definitely have something to keep
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: playing for.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking behind me. Hardly any Brewers.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I got behind me, but yeah, there it is in
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: one of those pictures right there.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: We got ourselves some I'll say, you know, even if
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Nate is probably listening, I've adopted the Brew crew as
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: my team this year. Just because I love to see
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: that pitching staff just crush the Dodgers. That would be awesome.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, even if they do, many probably remember
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: last year, they couldn't touch Yamamoto and pretty much anyone.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: So the bats got to do something. It's usually not
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the pitching that lets them down. It'll be fun, though. Brewers, man,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the farm system and what they can do with their
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: salary cap. Pat Murphy.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: It's going to be scary, too.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to two southpaws in the
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Rangers and the Mets, Sean Minaya, Mackenzie Gore. We're looking at, like,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: no ownership on either side. Righties can get to both
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: of these pitchers. I do prefer the Rangers because, I mean,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: they're absolutely free. I don't mind Fauscu. Corey Seager, again,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: he's a lefty, but he's 3.6K, just a stud at shortstop.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: So I'm fine playing him. Jong, Berger, Langford, Duran. I mean,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: even Jansen or Diaz to fill out a catcher position
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: down below. I actually think the Rangers are one of
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: my sneaky stacks on the slate. Again, against Minaya, you
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: do want righties. As far as the Mets against Mackenzie Gore,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: who's the righties that I would want? vientos at first
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: base 3.2k semi and second base 3k alvarez 3-3 at
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: catcher like these guys look a little interesting bo bachette
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: 3-8 at third base these onesie position guys lindor is
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: fine i don't love it though but when you are
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: double spending pitcher and paying up for other stuff i
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: think the mets and the rangers both of these righties
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: uh are very cheap it fill out onesie positions and
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: can complete lineups at low ownership so by default i
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: uh i have more interest in this game than the
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: field what about you.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Man, I don't mind picking on Sean Minaya, especially with
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: the righties, especially with some of the righties that Texas
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: is rolling out. Foscue, Jung, Berger, Langford, Duran. I think
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: they're all in play. Minaya's not been good. against righties
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: at all. His K percentage is down to 14%. Woba, 377.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Fly ball percentages are about 33%, a little high. He's
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: been getting barreled up 11%. So as I said before,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: it's probably tough to put on that Mets jersey night
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: in and night out rolling down the season here. It's
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: getting to be almost– that time of year. So, I mean,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: I just don't really like playing in the teams in
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: that Texas stadium there, but I think Foscue is an
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: excellent play against Minaya, especially batting up there at the
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: top of that lineup. But I mean, slight pinch hit risk,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: but man, he's been crushing, he's been crushing lefties all year.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I like it. I like it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Next game on the slate, Coors Field, Arizona Diamondbacks and
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: the Colorado Rockies, Michael Sirocco, Kyle Freeland on the mound.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can just look at this D-backs ownership. Again,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: that's kind of why I'm saying if you are playing them,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Max Fried and Rasmussen showed to be the lowest owned
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: in the 9K and above range. Maybe just don't play Imanaga.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Pair them with the Rangers or the Mets. Mix in
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the order. Kikuchis of the world down below.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: You just can't play Imanaga and, I don't know, another
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: somewhat chalky pitcher and then five-man D-backs and fill it
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: out from there. I think you're holding hands with too
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: many people on a 10-game slate, but There's not too
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: many holes to poke in this D-backs team. I'll make
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: a case for the Rockies, though, for sure. I mean,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I always like the lower-owned side of Coors. I usually do,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: which is almost always the Rockies. But, man, Soroka can
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: get hit from the left side of the plate. Jake McCarthy, Rumfield,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Cole Kerrig, and then three at the bottom of the order.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And then the righties, like Hunter Goodman's a stud.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: 5'9 is a lot to pay for.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: This Kyle Karos guy, Connor Norby at a second base.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with them, but I do like the lefties. Rumfield, McCarthy, Kerrig,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I think, are pretty strong. Bottom of the order, I mean,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: these dudes are bums that are hitting from the left
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: side of the plate, so probably still don't like them much. But, yeah, McCarthy, Rumfield, Kerrig,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I think any of those as a mini stack or
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: one-offs is interesting. But, man, they're implied for 4.8 runs
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: with no ownership in the best-hitting park. So can you
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: get to the righties against Soroka, or what are you
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: doing with the Rockies and talk about the D-backs? All right,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I'll take it back. Zach, who has a great name, Veen,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: isn't a bum. Dude is a stud.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Nades, I'm in.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you, Soroka, you know, I mean, especially the
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: right side, he's a mid-ground ball lean type pitcher. I mean,
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I guess if I was going to go after him,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: I guess I'd go after him with lefties. I just
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Soroka isn't a guy that I generally have been chasing against.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: And I just think the Rockies are just priced up
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: a little too high, especially over on DK. They're way higher.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I was looking over on DK and where I normally
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: play baseball fan duel, but it seems like the Rockies
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: are priced up. But Arizona on the other side, you
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: got Freeland. I mean, what are we looking at? 60 pitches,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: maybe twice through the lineup, if that. So I do
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: like some of the righties, obviously, for the D-backs. I
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: think for me, if I'm going D-back stack, what do
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: you think, Tidal? Maybe we just leave Corbin Carroll off
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: and leave something like that off.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's hitting seven today, though. We have Corbin
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Carroll as the second lowest in the D-back stack today.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I just think, though, a lot of
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: people that are hand-building are going to probably put Corbin
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Carroll in.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: That's fair.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: But I think I would probably leave him off and
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: just go with some of the righties is maybe what
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: I'd be looking at. But, yeah, I mean, we got
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: a game. I mean, this total is at 11. We
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: already talked about two games that were in the sixes. So,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking four or five runs higher in
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: this one game. So that's why, obviously, all the optos
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: are really loving this game. But, yeah, D-backs for me,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: I think I would just be overweight and then, you know,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: kind of leave Corbin Carroll off is what maybe I
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: would do. All right.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Fair enough.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: We got, let's see how many games we got left. One, two, three,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: still got four games left. Do appreciate everyone hanging out. Hey,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: over a hundred people watching live baseball at the end
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: of September, the true grinders out there. There's still definitely
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: some money to be made though. Not only MLB going
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: on PGA still going on college football, NFL, MMA, and NASCAR.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: So six sports.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: We would love to have you again. If you're watching MLB,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: you probably play more than just NFL. You can see
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: that NFL only package we have though, but bottom left,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: join the nation. If you have any of these all-access
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: monthly or greater memberships, you are qualified for Ship It Games. $ 45, 000
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: plus in cash and prizes. The link for the contest

  Speaker 2: want to try us out and you don't care about
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: the Ship It games, five days for $ 19 I think
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: is a great way to do it. Can get you
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: access to multiple sports, Saber Sim, and the Discord.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: To give us a try.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Top back over to a pretty good game, in my opinion,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: the Angels and the A's. Brady Basso. You see Kikuchi
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: on the mound. Again, I do think this ownership's a
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: little higher on Kikuchi. The ownership on Kikuchi will be
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: a little higher than it is now. And if that's
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: the case, give me some of these A's. You want
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: righties against Kikuchi. And yeah, they're rolling out plenty of righties.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Seven of their nine hit from the right side of
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: the plate. Only one priced above 5K. So I think
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: the A's are actually pretty good on this slate. And then, man,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: this BassoCat. Also isn't very good against righties. Guaranteed ninth
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: inning at-bats for the Angels. Only two players priced above 5K,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: and then it's very cheap from there.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: So I like both sides of this game, G-Ryzen.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Looking at just this ownership versus the D-backs on a
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: slate where I'm probably going to eat a good amount
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: of pitching. I'm going to say Angels and A's are
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: ahead of D-backs for me, but really it's an ownership game.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: It's just hard for me to stomach on a 10-game
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: slate paying Hundreds are playing five of these guys when
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: they have 161 cumulative ownership. So I'll take a third
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: of that on either side. Still a good run total
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: on both sides. Two southpaws that are hittable on the
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: right side of the plate.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: What about you?
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we can start with the A's. I mean, Kikuchi,
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's just controls been all over the place
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: here in recent times at 11 percent walk rate, both
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: sides of the plate. His ground ball percentage has dropped
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: a little bit to the right side. He's way higher
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: ground ball pitcher to the left side than he is
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: to the right side. He's been getting barreled up almost
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: 11% by righties. I mean, Lang Lears, I mean, that
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: looks like a great play. Voltaire, I think, is a
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: great play. Heim's a good play. I think those guys
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: are definitely in play for me. So attacking Kikuchi, especially
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: he's going to get a little bit of ownership, seems
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: like a pretty good deal. I mean, I definitely like
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: attacking that bullpen. We like the park, so a lot
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: of things are lining up. As far as the Angels go,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: I think the top of that lineup, Neto, Trout, Siri,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: maybe Grisham is where I'd look. Basso, where's he going
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: to go? Two, three innings maybe. Strikeout percentages are very low.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Hasn't really been getting all barreled up all that much,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: but it is a ground ball pitcher to the left side,
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: ground ball not so much to the right side. So
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: that's where I'd be looking at a guy like Trout, Neto,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Definitely stand out. You look at the fly ball percentages,
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: series at almost 44%, netto 36%, trout 32%. So even
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Travis Deonard is at 39%. So get some guys to
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: get the ball up in the air. I think Basso
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: is definitely something we can attack. We can attack the bullpen.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: I like attacking both bullpens. So, yeah, I'd put the
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Angels up there maybe like with the Braves. You know,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: like I'd put them pretty close up there, that top four,
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: or I feel pretty comfortable about picking on Basso, especially
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: with the park bump there. So, yeah, I'd put that
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: up there. I think maybe a mini stack of the
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: A's would be nice. Maybe if you wanted to add
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: them like maybe to some D-backs, I think you can
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: get them fairly cheap in a decent spot. But, yeah,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: I think the Angels for me are definitely interesting, especially
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: the top. half of that lineup with all that power
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: they got with them righties.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sign me up for both sides of this game.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: This is my favorite, probably two stacks on the slate
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: at ownership because I do think Braves and D-backs, obviously
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: D-backs will be way higher. I do think the Braves
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: take some steam as well. So this is the game
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: to pivot. A great park, relatively cheap outside of a
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: couple guys, two southpaws that are attackable.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Sign me up for the angels and the a's and.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: I think the over comes through three games left definitely
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: not uh not my favorite games when we're talking bats
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: that's uh that's why like we already talked about a
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: decent amount of teams who like this rangers for uh
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: for pretty cheap the white socks we didn't hate um But, yeah,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I do think it's going to be relatively condensed for
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: me when talking five-man stacks. Hard for me to get
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: there for either of these two teams against Christian Javier
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: and Logan Gilbert, two pitchers I respect. Yeah, obviously Logan
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Gilbert's heavily respected.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: And Javier, I.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Guess you said you had a little interest in Javier,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: which kind of took a little interest away from me.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: With that being said, if they're going to really be
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: 1% and 2% all the way across the board– I
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: think I can play some one through seven. They got
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: enough pop in this lineup. They can turn it over.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: They have enough lefties too. Yeah, man, six of the
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: nine or seven to the nine will hit from the
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: left side of the plate. I'm going to circle back
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit. I actually do think the Mariners at
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: literally no ownership could make a run in the late night.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: So do you agree with that at all? And I'm
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: not playing Astros personally.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, just look at Javier's numbers. He's kind of
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: been reverse splitzy. I mean, he's been getting barreled up
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: quite a bit by righties all year long, almost double
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: from righty to lefty, and basically same amount of plate appearances,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: 133 to 134. He's getting barreled up 12%, 6% to
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: left side. But, I mean, the fly ball rate is
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: what's getting me the last 30 days for Javier against
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: righties is 54%. Like, that's pretty high, especially at 40-some
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: plate appearances. So, I mean, a Rosarania, Julio, I think
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: it'd be a couple guys maybe I could use for one-offs.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not really looking to stack this, but
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: I think you could maybe pluck some one-offs out of that.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: All right. Fair enough. Two games left. New York Giants. Oh,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: my gosh. San Francisco Giants.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: You're going way back, dude. Shit, Christy Mathewson or something.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm talking about.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: San Francisco Giants and the Minnesota Twins, Taj Bradley, Anthony
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Molina on the mound. You mentioned a little interest in Molina.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: You said you love Bradley, so I assume no Giants.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: I definitely have no interest in the Giants. The Twins, though,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: showing low ownership. You did mention a little interest in
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Anthony Molina, though, so I'm curious, is that enough to
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: keep you away from these Twins, or do you have
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: some interest? He does struggle against the left side of
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: the plate a good bit.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: He does struggle against the lefties a good bit. I mean,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I don't mind going after it. I just wish the
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Twins just don't look. I mean, that lineup just looks,
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know, just looks pretty weak to me, what
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: their projected lineup is rolling. I don't think it's dropped yet. But,
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just not normally what we've been seeing
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: from a Twins lineup. I mean, I was looking at
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: it yesterday, and I was kind of giggling. But, yeah,
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, Molina has struggled a little bit. I think
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: I'd rather lean on the side of playing Molina just
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: because that Twins lineup looks like it's been watered down
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: a little bit.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Last game of the night. Again, appreciate everyone hanging out. Remember,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: all weather looks to be good. Wind's blowing in at Wrigley.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: For a boost to pitchers and bad for bats, but
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: it's nine games on FanDuel, 10 on DraftKings, 7.05 Eastern
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: on DraftKings because it's including the doubleheader for the Rays
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: and the Yankees where FanDuel's leaving it off. starting the
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: slate at 7-15 Eastern. San Diego Padres and the Los
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers. Roki Sasaki on the mound, taking on Michael King.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can always play the Dodgers against anybody,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: but with that being said, King is definitely someone I
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: respect on this slate, one of the better pitchers. As
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: far as Robleski, he's a southpaw. You prefer righties against him.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Two lefties, so sure, you can always play Fernando Tatis,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Manny Machado. You're paying for it, though, when you're playing it.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I don't see myself getting to this game too much
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: in the late night.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: No, it's hard to stack against either of these bullpens too.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, two of the best bullpens in all of baseball.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: So that's a little bit concerning. As you mentioned, I
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: don't really want to pick on King with the Dodgers here,
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I think I just respect the bullpens enough
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: not to want to fool with it. But Yeah, I mean,
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: decent slate we got here today with the 10 games.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of interested to see if we can crack
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: that Coors Field chalk and see if we can get
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: a couple teams here that can compete with that. I
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: think we talked about a few that I like. I
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: think the Braves are interesting for sure. I think I
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: could also look at the Angels, maybe some A's a
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: little bit here tonight. So I think there's different ways
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: we can go. I did mention I like a little
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: bit of some White Sox against Lynch. So, yeah, interesting slate.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: But I think for me, if you're going to play Arizona,
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: I'd be careful how you do it because I just
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: feel like they're going to be fairly chalky here tonight.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: But for me, I think Corbin Carroll, leaving him off
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: would be a good way to kind of go about it.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. Again, all of our
