- 1:43Speaker 1: September seventeenth. Let me fix that right now, Actually, let
- 1:47Speaker 1: me do it right now. I could edit the video.
- 1:49Speaker 1: I'm on YouTube here, dude. I'm so out of it,
- 1:51Speaker 1: but you know I got no sleep obviously. Thanks for
- 1:53Speaker 1: everybody who showed up last night for the college Football Show.
- 1:57Speaker 1: It was a It was something, man, it was a
- 2:00Speaker 1: It was a long, over two hour video. If you
- 2:02Speaker 1: want to go see my analysis still a little bit
- 2:05Speaker 1: of time, you can go do that. I just fixed
- 2:07Speaker 1: there you go. I just fixed the title here, at
- 2:11Speaker 1: least on YouTube. I didn't fix it on Twitter, but
- 2:14Speaker 1: I think I could do that. Can I do that too?
- 2:15Speaker 1: Let me see? Let me edit it? Uh yeah, I can.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Here you go now everybody thinks I'm not an idiot.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Hell yeah, all right, yeah, I can edit it both ways.
- 2:27Speaker 1: There it is, thank you streamyard. All right. Yesterday we
- 2:30Speaker 1: had another winning day. We went three and two yesterday,
- 2:33Speaker 1: two and zero in college football. College football making me
- 2:36Speaker 1: look really good right now as we have Virginia with
- 2:39Speaker 1: the outright win. I don't think they ever trailed in
- 2:41Speaker 1: the game. They had a fourteen point lead. I think
- 2:43Speaker 1: out of the gate it was tied, they retook the lead,
- 2:47Speaker 1: it was I think they just bounced back and forth
- 2:49Speaker 1: with like a seven point lead after that, and then
- 2:51Speaker 1: it did go into overtime, and there was the controversial
- 2:54Speaker 1: call at the end with in overtime, Florida State would
- 2:58Speaker 1: have tied the game with what looked like a touchdown
- 3:01Speaker 1: was ruled a touchdown on the field. But I think
- 3:03Speaker 1: they got it right. They overturned it. The receiver was
- 3:06Speaker 1: bobbling the ball through like the entirety of the end
- 3:09Speaker 1: zone and he never had control until he was actually
- 3:11Speaker 1: out of the back of the end zone. So I
- 3:13Speaker 1: think the overturn was correct, and you could hear the
- 3:16Speaker 1: guys analyzing it. People Florida State fans are gonna complain. Oh,
- 3:20Speaker 1: Virginia is getting all the calls. Really, like you think
- 3:23Speaker 1: Florida State versus Virginia, I think Virginia is gonna be
- 3:26Speaker 1: the team that gets that gets the benefit of the calls.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I doubt it, but man, the crowd was insane at
- 3:32Speaker 1: Virginia last night. It was one of the craziest crowds
- 3:34Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Like I'm surprised. You never really think
- 3:37Speaker 1: of Virginia having a ridiculous crowd, but they were there
- 3:40Speaker 1: for that game. I think they disrupted Florida State's offense.
- 3:43Speaker 1: If you watch the end of that game, that caused
- 3:46Speaker 1: like a really crucial false start after the overturn happened
- 3:51Speaker 1: to set Florida State back further, and then they had
- 3:53Speaker 1: to convert along fourth down, which they didn't do, and
- 3:57Speaker 1: the crowd had rushed the field before the game was
- 3:59Speaker 1: even over. I hope everybody was okay, but man, that
- 4:01Speaker 1: was insane. It was one of the biggest field stormings
- 4:05Speaker 1: that I've ever seen. It was like just a sea
- 4:07Speaker 1: of people on the field. No spot on the field,
- 4:10Speaker 1: like you couldn't see any green. It was just covered
- 4:12Speaker 1: with people. I was like, this is the most insane
- 4:15Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen. Like, I don't even think I'm exaggerating.
- 4:17Speaker 1: You can go find like the videos of it. Whatever.
- 4:19Speaker 1: It was crazy, and we got to be on the
- 4:21Speaker 1: winning side of it. Outright win for Virginia. And I
- 4:24Speaker 1: don't like Castellanos because what he did to BC, so
- 4:27Speaker 1: I love seeing Florida State lose. So that was a win.
- 4:30Speaker 1: And then Oregon State almost got us a win in
- 4:32Speaker 1: the late night thirteen and a half point underdog. They
- 4:34Speaker 1: were out to like a fourteen nothing lead right away,
- 4:37Speaker 1: but then it was fourteen to ten at halftime. But
- 4:39Speaker 1: still it's looking like a low scoring game. They've been
- 4:41Speaker 1: winning the whole game. You know, it was looking pretty good.
- 4:44Speaker 1: But yeah, they had a wire to wire cover as well,
- 4:46Speaker 1: so two wired to wire covers. They both actually went
- 4:49Speaker 1: into overtime. Oregon State went to overtime, but Oregon State
- 4:53Speaker 1: Houston's defense stepped up man and Oregon State got stuffed.
- 4:56Speaker 1: If you watch my video last night, it happened while
- 4:58Speaker 1: I was watching it on TV. While I was doing
- 5:01Speaker 1: the video last night, Oregon State went for an on
- 5:04Speaker 1: fourth and one in overtime, which it makes sense, you're
- 5:06Speaker 1: at home, you're the underdog, go for it, you know,
- 5:09Speaker 1: don't settle for the field goal. Even though Houston wound
- 5:12Speaker 1: up settling for the field goal, that was because they
- 5:14Speaker 1: didn't need to try for a touchdown. Oregon State got
- 5:18Speaker 1: stuffed on the fourth and one, just absolutely bad, and
- 5:21Speaker 1: then Houston all they had to do was get a
- 5:23Speaker 1: field goal after that. So Oregon State did not hit
- 5:26Speaker 1: on the money line, but they certainly covered. So another
- 5:29Speaker 1: win for me on that one. And then baseball went
- 5:32Speaker 1: one on one yesterday a little bit annoying because we
- 5:36Speaker 1: got the under in the Cincinnati Reds Milwaukee Brewers game hit,
- 5:41Speaker 1: so we got the win on that, and then we
- 5:43Speaker 1: did not get the win on the Tampa Bay and
- 5:46Speaker 1: Toronto first five under. The full game went under, but
- 5:50Speaker 1: all the runs in the game were scored in the
- 5:52Speaker 1: first five innings, so the first five didn't go under.
- 5:54Speaker 1: I hate when that happens. So that one up being
- 5:58Speaker 1: a loser. And then Minnesota lost in the w NBA.
- 6:01Speaker 1: It's crazy, dude, that they might actually get eliminated. I
- 6:05Speaker 1: think they're on the verge of elimination now. We might
- 6:08Speaker 1: potentially tomorrow we might just go right back to the
- 6:10Speaker 1: well and play Minnesota again. I know you're getting an
- 6:13Speaker 1: underdog price on them, and I gotta really look into
- 6:16Speaker 1: why that's the case. But that's crazy, man, Jordan, what's
- 6:20Speaker 1: up man, Thanks for hanging out. Good morning, Yeah, Jeffrey,
- 6:24Speaker 1: what's up. Thanks for hanging out. Yeah, last night was
- 6:27Speaker 1: college football? Man. This this show here is gonna be
- 6:30Speaker 1: all baseball, so it's gonna be pretty boring, to be honest.
- 6:35Speaker 1: You tried to go what underneath under on the Nationals game.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I'm almost never gonna recommend an under Internationals game with
- 6:42Speaker 1: that bullpen. If I do go with an under, it'll
- 6:44Speaker 1: be a first five inning only in their games. You
- 6:48Speaker 1: played baseball, yes, say wait? Why did the wait? You
- 6:52Speaker 1: couldn't bet college football and DraftKings? That's weird. That doesn't
- 6:56Speaker 1: make any sense. I mean, they make a lot of
- 6:58Speaker 1: money through football bettings, so I don't know. That doesn't
- 7:00Speaker 1: make any sense. Mark Lawrence has Arizona and UCF today.
- 7:04Speaker 1: I like Mark Lawrence. I think he's solid. I agree
- 7:07Speaker 1: with him on Arizona and I really disagree with him
- 7:10Speaker 1: on UCF. I also agree with him on the Giants,
- 7:13Speaker 1: which that'll come tonight. You gotta wait, you gotta wait
- 7:15Speaker 1: for tonight and uh yeah, Virginia Tech. Oh, he likes
- 7:21Speaker 1: Indianapolis too. I'm I don't know about the Indie game.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I've I have some issues trying to figure that game out.
- 7:26Speaker 1: To be honest, indian the Rams. It's an addressing game
- 7:30Speaker 1: of Virginia Tech over. Yeah, Virginia Tech has crazy crowds yet,
- 7:34Speaker 1: but this was University of Virginia though, like Virginia Tech
- 7:37Speaker 1: is known as more of a football school than Virginia's.
- 7:39Speaker 1: But Virginia's pretty good this year, Dude, I told you
- 7:42Speaker 1: going into that game last night. Virginia their offense has
- 7:45Speaker 1: been good this year. They got Morris I think as
- 7:48Speaker 1: their quarterback who was at North Texas last year. He
- 7:51Speaker 1: could throw the ball. Man, he's good. I think he's
- 7:53Speaker 1: a dual threat to like. They got a pretty solid
- 7:56Speaker 1: offense there, Nate, what's up man? Thanks for hanging out.
- 8:01Speaker 1: If you want my college football analysis, you gotta go
- 8:03Speaker 1: watch the College Football Show. Though I'm not going to
- 8:05Speaker 1: reanalyze here, but I will give you my plays for
- 8:08Speaker 1: today in college football. Kansas State minus five and a half,
- 8:13Speaker 1: So going against Mark Lawrence on that one, which I
- 8:15Speaker 1: don't love doing, but I think I'm right on that game.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Iowa plus eight and a half. I know how ugly
- 8:20Speaker 1: these are, dude, You know me, I'm very contrarian. Oklahoma
- 8:23Speaker 1: State plus twenty one, hopefully you can get the best
- 8:25Speaker 1: number on these, by the way, and Florida Atlantic plus fourteen.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Those are my four plays. I had some additional like
- 8:33Speaker 1: leans that I gave out on the show. You can
- 8:34Speaker 1: go watch the show from last night if you want
- 8:36Speaker 1: all the analysis. If you follow me on Instagram. I
- 8:38Speaker 1: put out the videos with all the analysis on the
- 8:40Speaker 1: games that I actually have. I had additional like leans
- 8:44Speaker 1: to Boston College, San Jose State, Kentucky. I kind of like,
- 8:51Speaker 1: I think there might have been one other one in there,
- 8:52Speaker 1: but those are the ones that like were close to
- 8:54Speaker 1: making my car and I didn't quite want to do it,
- 8:55Speaker 1: and I was kind of considering too Laane as well.
- 8:58Speaker 1: So just you know a little bit of info into
- 9:02Speaker 1: my mindset there. You couldn't find the games that I
- 9:05Speaker 1: played yesterday. Really, that's pretty surprising me. There are only
- 9:10Speaker 1: three games for college football last night, and they were
- 9:13Speaker 1: all FBS games. I mean, that's yeah, that seems weird.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I mean all of them involved big conference teams too,
- 9:19Speaker 1: so that definitely surprises me. I don't know what's going
- 9:22Speaker 1: on you might be looking in the wrong place on DraftKings.
- 9:25Speaker 1: I'm not sure because that doesn't make any sense other
- 9:27Speaker 1: than well, actually, Jordan, what stay do you win? Because
- 9:32Speaker 1: a lot of states, like I'm in Massachusetts, and Massachusetts
- 9:35Speaker 1: you can't bet any Massachusetts colleges, which is bs obviously.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Oh I love how my cameras is not focusing at
- 9:43Speaker 1: all because I look so handsome. You guys want to
- 9:46Speaker 1: see me. I just rolled out of bet. I'm wearing
- 9:48Speaker 1: the same shirt I wore last night. I want to
- 9:50Speaker 1: get to the baseball here. I don't want this video
- 9:51Speaker 1: to go that long, but yeah, I mean some states
- 9:55Speaker 1: will not allow you to bet colleges that are within
- 9:57Speaker 1: your state, which does piss me off. So I have
- 10:00Speaker 1: to find other means if I want to bet on
- 10:03Speaker 1: a game involving a Massachusetts college, but at least Massachusetts
- 10:07Speaker 1: doesn't have good sports seams. But it's still like Boston College.
- 10:11Speaker 1: I mean, you want to potentially bet on some of
- 10:13Speaker 1: their games. I hadn't. I did bet on Boston College
- 10:16Speaker 1: at least once last year, because I remember giving that
- 10:18Speaker 1: bet out when I was it was against I think
- 10:20Speaker 1: it was against Louisville. Actually I was gonna say Florida State.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I don't think it was Florida State. I think it
- 10:25Speaker 1: was Louisville and BC blew that game. By the way,
- 10:29Speaker 1: they covered should have won the game. But I gave
- 10:31Speaker 1: that out when I was down at tops house in Florida.
- 10:33Speaker 1: I remember that money never sleeps, that's true. Yeah, Oh,
- 10:41Speaker 1: you're looking in the search. I don't know, like usually
- 10:43Speaker 1: you're in Virginia. Well, yeah, if you're in Virginia that
- 10:45Speaker 1: probably they probably wouldn't allow you to bet on the
- 10:49Speaker 1: Virginia game then, but you probably could have bet on
- 10:51Speaker 1: the Oregon State one that I gave out, and I
- 10:53Speaker 1: also liked Arizona State. But you would have pushed if
- 10:55Speaker 1: you laid the three on that one. But things are
- 10:58Speaker 1: worse in life than pushing a bet at Yeah, so
- 11:03Speaker 1: let's get into baseball here. Baseball, it's getting really interesting. Man.
- 11:07Speaker 1: My Boston Red Sox. I'm wearing their hat, although I'm
- 11:09Speaker 1: still wearing it back where it's because they're still was
- 11:12Speaker 1: still I'm still, you know, waving the white flag here
- 11:16Speaker 1: because I don't think they're gonna go that far. There
- 11:18Speaker 1: will be no white flag but mine, dum, but there
- 11:22Speaker 1: will be this time The Red Sox did actually clinch
- 11:25Speaker 1: a playoff spot with a win yesterday, so that happened.
- 11:28Speaker 1: The Yankees and Toronto both won as well, so they're
- 11:31Speaker 1: still tied atop the Ale East, with the Blue Jays
- 11:34Speaker 1: holding the tiebreaker. Cleveland and Detroit both lost because Detroit
- 11:38Speaker 1: lost to the Red Sox on a walk off by
- 11:40Speaker 1: the way by Rafaela had the walk off hit deep
- 11:43Speaker 1: in the center field, which I think was a triple
- 11:46Speaker 1: but I thought he just kind of collapsed on first
- 11:49Speaker 1: base because he didn't need to advance any further. I mean,
- 11:52Speaker 1: it was a walk off win. The runner just needed
- 11:54Speaker 1: to score from first base, so I don't know whatever
- 11:58Speaker 1: I mean. He collapsed with joy he wasn't injured, but yeah,
- 12:01Speaker 1: so they beat Detroit. Cleveland also lost to Texas yesterday,
- 12:05Speaker 1: I think, so they are still tied with Detroit and
- 12:07Speaker 1: Cleveland is holding the tiebreaker in that division. Houston is
- 12:11Speaker 1: one game behind Detroit and Cleveland, so they're still in
- 12:14Speaker 1: the wildcard hunt as well. It's wild man and the
- 12:19Speaker 1: only team that I think got actually got eliminated yesterday
- 12:22Speaker 1: was the Arizona Diamondbacks because they lost to who the
- 12:26Speaker 1: hell did they lose to? San Diego. I think it
- 12:28Speaker 1: was San Diego. So San Diego is still potentially trying
- 12:31Speaker 1: to jockey for position I guess a little bit. Arizona
- 12:34Speaker 1: is out. So now we have Cincinnati and the Mets
- 12:39Speaker 1: are still tied because they also both lost yesterday. It's
- 12:43Speaker 1: like they both they don't want to win, man, it's insane.
- 12:47Speaker 1: So the last wildcard spot is still up for grabs
- 12:49Speaker 1: in the NL and it is between the Mets and
- 12:51Speaker 1: the Reds at this point. So it comes down to
- 12:53Speaker 1: the last two days of baseball. And that's what we're
- 12:56Speaker 1: going to talk about here. It's about motivation at this point, man.
- 12:59Speaker 1: But the problem is these teams that you know, have
- 13:02Speaker 1: the motivation to try to make the playoffs, you're not
- 13:05Speaker 1: getting a good price on them. So that's kind of
- 13:07Speaker 1: the problem Detroit for the series. If they play Cleveland,
- 13:12Speaker 1: you mean, like if they yeah, if they wind up
- 13:13Speaker 1: playing Cleveland in the playoffs, that is a possibility that
- 13:16Speaker 1: could happen. Yeah. Interesting, Yeah, I mean I think Detroit
- 13:23Speaker 1: is still the better team, but Detroit, like they would
- 13:26Speaker 1: need to have home field. Man Like Detroit, they're much
- 13:29Speaker 1: much better at home, so they really need to win
- 13:32Speaker 1: their divisions. They can get home field and whatever. That
- 13:34Speaker 1: first series is Baltimore at Yankees. Here is the first
- 13:38Speaker 1: game up. It's one of the after noon games. There
- 13:40Speaker 1: are some after noon games today. Yankees won yesterday. I'm
- 13:44Speaker 1: not happy about it. They've won six games in a row.
- 13:46Speaker 1: They're still battling Toronto for the Al East. Here, Yankees
- 13:49Speaker 1: have an easy matchup pretty much against the Orioles. Although
- 13:52Speaker 1: the Orioles, you gotta figure, they got a chance to
- 13:55Speaker 1: spoil the season a little bit for the Yankees as
- 13:57Speaker 1: far as not letting them win the division. So I
- 13:59Speaker 1: think Baltimore is still motivated in this series. The problem is,
- 14:03Speaker 1: are they actually good enough to win these games today.
- 14:06Speaker 1: I'm not really sure that they are. Yankees actually have
- 14:09Speaker 1: the better bullpen, even though their bullpen is not very good.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Baltimore's is worse. Yankees did use a little bit more
- 14:15Speaker 1: of theirs yesterday, so I wouldn't really want to deal
- 14:17Speaker 1: with either bullpen in this game. Preferably Yankees have the
- 14:21Speaker 1: way better offense. Obviously. Sugano is pitching four Baltimore in
- 14:26Speaker 1: this game. He's been mediocre basically in his first season
- 14:30Speaker 1: in the majors. He spent a lot of his career
- 14:32Speaker 1: in Japan, He's got a four point five to four
- 14:35Speaker 1: ERA and one point three to four whip, not great.
- 14:38Speaker 1: He's a little bit better on the road four point
- 14:40Speaker 1: four to eight ERA. This month, his command has been outright,
- 14:44Speaker 1: with an eight to one strike a walk ratios ERA
- 14:47Speaker 1: at six is not very good. He's failed to actually
- 14:49Speaker 1: even make it past three and a third innings and
- 14:52Speaker 1: three of his last four out and he's including his
- 14:53Speaker 1: last time out against the Yankees, where he only went
- 14:56Speaker 1: three innings and allowed four earned runs, so that's not
- 14:59Speaker 1: a good sign. His numbers against the Yankees are not
- 15:01Speaker 1: very good and fifty one at bats fourteen to five
- 15:04Speaker 1: strike out walk ratios all right, But since the Yankees
- 15:06Speaker 1: have seen him multiple times now, they've figured him out
- 15:08Speaker 1: and they've hit him pretty well three thirty three batting
- 15:11Speaker 1: average nine zero three ops, so he does not do
- 15:14Speaker 1: very well against them. So you have to give the
- 15:16Speaker 1: edge to Cam Schlittler, who is eleven years younger than Sugano.
- 15:21Speaker 1: He is pitching for the Yankees rookie season. For him,
- 15:24Speaker 1: he's been pretty good three point twenty seven eras whip
- 15:27Speaker 1: is too high at one point three, so he is
- 15:29Speaker 1: walking a few too many, and he's actually not quite
- 15:32Speaker 1: as good at home as he is on the road.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Three point seven to eight ERA at home this month,
- 15:37Speaker 1: five point zero nine ERA not that great really, and
- 15:40Speaker 1: twenty one to ten strike out walk ratio against the
- 15:42Speaker 1: walks That are really kind of concerning here. He did
- 15:45Speaker 1: pitch well against Baltimore last time out of that same series,
- 15:48Speaker 1: held him to one on run in five and a
- 15:50Speaker 1: third innings, so I do think he has the upper
- 15:52Speaker 1: hand in this pitching matchup, both literally and figuratively against Baltimore.
- 15:57Speaker 1: I think it was all just that one start. They
- 15:59Speaker 1: have nineteen at bad against some Basalo or Basaio did
- 16:03Speaker 1: hit a home run off him, but he has six
- 16:05Speaker 1: to ones, a six to one starting got walk ratio
- 16:07Speaker 1: against him, a one fifty eight average allowed, and five
- 16:10Speaker 1: to sixty eight ops allowed. So Schlittler is the better
- 16:14Speaker 1: of these two. Where's this game at here? Yankees are
- 16:18Speaker 1: down for minus two twenty six to minus two fifteen
- 16:20Speaker 1: on the money line, seventy eight percent of tickets, eighty
- 16:23Speaker 1: six percent of the cash on them. I mean again,
- 16:24Speaker 1: the Yankees are one of the teams that needs to win.
- 16:27Speaker 1: They don't need to win, but they they do need
- 16:29Speaker 1: to win if they want to win the division. But
- 16:33Speaker 1: you're not getting any real value on the Yankees here
- 16:37Speaker 1: in my opinion. I mean, you're paying a lot for
- 16:38Speaker 1: the Yankees here. So I think the way that I
- 16:40Speaker 1: would play this, if I wanted to do something with it,
- 16:42Speaker 1: I would probably go Yankees over their team total. Again,
- 16:45Speaker 1: it's it's the it's the old standby man, which they've
- 16:49Speaker 1: been able to do that two of the last three
- 16:51Speaker 1: games at least. So they scored eight runs yesterday, so
- 16:54Speaker 1: you're probably gonna be asking him to score about six
- 16:56Speaker 1: or something. I would guess in this game somewhere in
- 16:58Speaker 1: that ballpark, which like a lot, but they can hit.
- 17:02Speaker 1: It's a hitter friendly park. They're not facing very good pitching.
- 17:04Speaker 1: So that is probably what I would do if I
- 17:06Speaker 1: was gonna play that game. Saint Louis at the Cubs,
- 17:09Speaker 1: Neither of these teams is really doing like is really
- 17:11Speaker 1: playing for a lot here. The Cubs did win yesterday
- 17:14Speaker 1: twelve to one, so Saint Louis might have a little
- 17:16Speaker 1: bit of motivation just for that reason. This is Saint
- 17:19Speaker 1: Louis's last series of the season, so they might have
- 17:23Speaker 1: a little bit extra motivation for that reason, Cubs already
- 17:27Speaker 1: basically looking forward to the playoffs. The Cubs are I believe,
- 17:30Speaker 1: pretty much locked into the four seed. I don't even know.
- 17:33Speaker 1: I think they might mathematically be locked into the four
- 17:35Speaker 1: seed now in the NL, so I don't really think
- 17:38Speaker 1: they can advance or lose their position at all, so
- 17:41Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter for them. So you could maybe
- 17:43Speaker 1: even argue that Saint Louis is gonna start having more
- 17:46Speaker 1: motivation here because this is their last series of the season,
- 17:50Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere after this, and they get to
- 17:52Speaker 1: play the Cubs. Both teams have pretty solid bullpends. Saint
- 17:56Speaker 1: Louis is better. Saint Louis only used three relief just
- 18:00Speaker 1: to say, the Cubs only US four, so the bullpens
- 18:03Speaker 1: decently intact here. Chicago has the better offense, although if
- 18:07Speaker 1: they're not focused, I don't know how much offense they'll
- 18:10Speaker 1: get you here. Although in Wrigley Field the total looks
- 18:12Speaker 1: like it's high in this game, it's nine and a half,
- 18:15Speaker 1: which that means that the wind is blowing out at Wrigly,
- 18:18Speaker 1: so uh. The total like fluctuates dramatically in games at
- 18:22Speaker 1: Wriglely based on what the weather is doing The Lake
- 18:25Speaker 1: Effect wind is pretty insane at Wrigley, so that means
- 18:28Speaker 1: the wind is blowing out of the totals that high.
- 18:31Speaker 1: So something to keep in mind there as well. Michael
- 18:34Speaker 1: McGreevy pitching for Saint Louis. He's had an okay season.
- 18:36Speaker 1: I think this is his first season in the majors.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Actually it's his first full issue well not even a
- 18:42Speaker 1: full season, but the first season where he's pitched, I
- 18:44Speaker 1: guess enough to qualify as a rookie. He did pitch
- 18:46Speaker 1: last year a little bit. He's been okay this year,
- 18:49Speaker 1: four point three to five ERA, UH, one point two
- 18:52Speaker 1: to three WHIP. He's way better on the road three
- 18:56Speaker 1: point two to nine roady IRA, so he does have
- 18:58Speaker 1: the home road split working in his favor in this game.
- 19:01Speaker 1: He hasn't been that good this month though, four point
- 19:03Speaker 1: nine to one ERA, fifteen to seven strike out walk ratio,
- 19:06Speaker 1: too many walks three each in his last couple of games.
- 19:09Speaker 1: That's not great Against the Cubs. They've hit him for
- 19:12Speaker 1: contact but not really for power and forty seven at bats.
- 19:15Speaker 1: They have a two ninety eight average against him, which
- 19:17Speaker 1: is high, but a six eighty eight OPS not that
- 19:20Speaker 1: high because they haven't really done really much damage for
- 19:24Speaker 1: power against him. The only extra base hit is actually
- 19:28Speaker 1: a home run from Suzuki, so thirteen of the fourteen
- 19:31Speaker 1: hits a singles, which is crazy. A four to two
- 19:34Speaker 1: strike out walk ratio not exactly that good either, but
- 19:36Speaker 1: he's not really a strikeout pitcher. He is going up
- 19:40Speaker 1: against James and tie on decent season for the Cubs,
- 19:43Speaker 1: actually better than decent three point seven eighty RA one
- 19:47Speaker 1: point zero seven WHIP. He's better at home, so both
- 19:49Speaker 1: pitchers working in the right side of their home road
- 19:53Speaker 1: splits here three point two to three home ERA for him.
- 19:56Speaker 1: He got injured and then he came back like almost
- 19:58Speaker 1: two months later, and he's been good since then. He's
- 20:00Speaker 1: allowed two or fewer earned runs in every outing since then,
- 20:03Speaker 1: all five, and he's allowed one or few or in
- 20:05Speaker 1: four of the five. So he is on right now.
- 20:09Speaker 1: This month is walk number to go up a little
- 20:11Speaker 1: bit though, on nine to four strike out walk ratio.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Kind of a low strikeout rate this month to one
- 20:16Speaker 1: point five to sixty RA though, so he's still in
- 20:19Speaker 1: decent form right now, but he doesn't duell against the Cardinals,
- 20:23Speaker 1: even though their offense is pretty lousy and one hundred
- 20:25Speaker 1: and thirteen at bats sixteen to seven strike aut walk
- 20:28Speaker 1: ratio three fifty four, batting average allowed, nine sixty seven ops.
- 20:32Speaker 1: That's not good. So tie on. He looks like he's
- 20:37Speaker 1: pitching really well right now. He's in good form, but
- 20:39Speaker 1: you have to kind of contrast that with the fact
- 20:41Speaker 1: that he doesn't dwell against Saint Louis. So it's an
- 20:44Speaker 1: interesting matchup here. Man. The Cubs are very public throughout
- 20:47Speaker 1: for minus one or down for minus one seventy to
- 20:49Speaker 1: minus one sixty eight on the money line, eighty seven
- 20:51Speaker 1: percent of tickets, only eighty five percent of the cash.
- 20:54Speaker 1: It looks like the money is kind of leaning towards
- 20:57Speaker 1: Saint Louis there. You could take a shot with Saint
- 21:00Speaker 1: Lewis in this one if you want to. I mean,
- 21:01Speaker 1: McGreevy seems like he has the matchup edge here, but
- 21:04Speaker 1: he's not. The pitchers in the better form right now,
- 21:08Speaker 1: so it's for me. I mean, I'm not gonna give
- 21:11Speaker 1: it out as a play. I mean I would slightly
- 21:13Speaker 1: lean that way. And when I first looked at it,
- 21:15Speaker 1: just seeing the two starting pitchers, I was thinking maybe
- 21:17Speaker 1: an under but it seems dangerous with tie on not
- 21:21Speaker 1: doing well against Saint Louis and with the wind blowing out,
- 21:23Speaker 1: total up a little bit to nine heavily juice to
- 21:27Speaker 1: the over potentially nine and a half seventy three percent
- 21:29Speaker 1: of tickets only seventy one percent of cash on the
- 21:32Speaker 1: over though, so the public is coming in on the
- 21:34Speaker 1: over and the money a little bit less. So so
- 21:39Speaker 1: I guess do with that information what you will. But
- 21:41Speaker 1: I guess with this starting pitching matchup, you could maybe
- 21:43Speaker 1: argue the totals a little bit too high. But I
- 21:45Speaker 1: think the better way to look at this game, in
- 21:47Speaker 1: my opinion, is Saint Louis probably maybe even like a
- 21:50Speaker 1: run line or something, or maybe just on the money line.
- 21:54Speaker 1: You'll get a pretty decent underdog price there if you
- 21:56Speaker 1: do that. Saint Louis, Yes, say a jerk at Buffalo
- 22:00Speaker 1: ways were at least eating jerk wings at the same
- 22:03Speaker 1: time at least uh to uh to, you know, go
- 22:07Speaker 1: with the theme there, buffalo wild wings. Man. It's tough
- 22:10Speaker 1: to decide on a sauce. I usually get multiple different
- 22:12Speaker 1: types of sauces. You gotta gotta, you know, vary it up, variety.
- 22:18Speaker 1: It's a spice of life, man, and then you know,
- 22:20Speaker 1: do the the blaze and wings stuff as well, which
- 22:22Speaker 1: Jeffrey knows I talked about when I couldn't get the
- 22:26Speaker 1: uh the sting off of my hands even with you know,
- 22:30Speaker 1: washing my hands, I still had the blazing wings sauce
- 22:33Speaker 1: like just permeating into my body basically, and then I
- 22:36Speaker 1: uh went to piss and I like numbed my cock
- 22:39Speaker 1: basically just because I touched it when I took a piss.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Oh man, Uh yeah, that was a fun time. Uh
- 22:48Speaker 1: when I was with my friend going to to see
- 22:50Speaker 1: sausage party and it was a sausage party in my pants,
- 22:56Speaker 1: all right, man. Tampa Bay at Toronto, I mean Toronto,
- 23:01Speaker 1: they're basically playing for the same thing as the Yankees.
- 23:03Speaker 1: They're trying to win the Ale East. Here. They've been
- 23:06Speaker 1: a top the Ale East basically since July, I think,
- 23:10Speaker 1: and the Yankees have not actually surpassed, not even though
- 23:13Speaker 1: they've been tied. Tampa Bay does have the opportunity to
- 23:16Speaker 1: spoil Toronto's season, But I hope Tampa Bay just loses intentionally, man,
- 23:21Speaker 1: to be honest, I hope Tampa just hates the Yankees
- 23:23Speaker 1: so much that they're like here, Toronto have the division.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Toronto won yesterday four to two. But man, this is
- 23:31Speaker 1: Toronto's got the more difficult of these two series between
- 23:33Speaker 1: them and the Yankees. Man, Tampa, they're not that bad
- 23:36Speaker 1: of a team. They're better than the record looks. As
- 23:38Speaker 1: I've kept saying, Tampa just kind of got a little
- 23:41Speaker 1: bit unlucky with the way that their matchups worked out.
- 23:44Speaker 1: They're playing in a difficult division. It is the way
- 23:48Speaker 1: that it is. Man, Tampa has the better bullpen out
- 23:50Speaker 1: of these two teams. I think only use one relief pitcher.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Yesterday Toronto used a bunch. They used whatever that is for.
- 23:57Speaker 1: So Tampa does have a bullpen edge in this game.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Toronto has the way better offense. Starting pitching, Joe Boyle
- 24:05Speaker 1: is pitching for the Rays. Mediocre numbers for him four
- 24:08Speaker 1: point four ERA, one point three to four WHIP. He's
- 24:11Speaker 1: been way worse on the road eight point one five
- 24:14Speaker 1: road ERA, so that's not a good sign. He hasn't
- 24:16Speaker 1: pitched that much. He pitched once in April and then
- 24:19Speaker 1: they started using him regularly in July and he's been
- 24:24Speaker 1: pretty much mediocre this month. He's been good in two outings,
- 24:27Speaker 1: including shutting out Toronto for six innings though the last
- 24:31Speaker 1: time he faced Toronto. He's got a fourteen to four
- 24:35Speaker 1: strike a walker hissue this month and he's only allowed
- 24:37Speaker 1: one on run a point eighty seven era excuse me
- 24:42Speaker 1: era this month. But Toronto did just see him, so
- 24:47Speaker 1: that means that Toronto is now familiar with him, so
- 24:49Speaker 1: he might not do as well this timeout. So it's
- 24:52Speaker 1: a little bit of a bad matchup for him in
- 24:54Speaker 1: that regard. Although Toronto when they have faced him it
- 24:58Speaker 1: hasn't been good, but it was mostly that one It
- 25:01Speaker 1: was mostly that one game against them, twenty four at
- 25:04Speaker 1: bats five, zero strike out, walk ratio, two to h
- 25:06Speaker 1: eight batting average, a lot of four fifty eight ohps.
- 25:09Speaker 1: So Boyle did do well against in that time. But
- 25:11Speaker 1: again I think he had like the unfamiliarity advantage of
- 25:14Speaker 1: that time, and now he doesn't have that anymore. So
- 25:16Speaker 1: Toronto might be able to hit him better in this game,
- 25:19Speaker 1: but he still might do well. I mean, it depends
- 25:21Speaker 1: how good really is Boyle. We don't really know exactly
- 25:25Speaker 1: Keith you got. You're betting on Springer to hit a
- 25:27Speaker 1: home run off Boyle. I don't like the home run
- 25:30Speaker 1: props because you just never get good enough value on it. Man, Like,
- 25:34Speaker 1: even the best hitter in the league, you know, Raleigh
- 25:37Speaker 1: or whatever, the best home run hitter is really still
- 25:39Speaker 1: only going to hit a home run, Like what is
- 25:41Speaker 1: it like once every I mean probably more than ten
- 25:45Speaker 1: at bats like go by between home runs for those guys.
- 25:48Speaker 1: So like, you never get good enough value on the
- 25:50Speaker 1: home run props because the books know that, and it's
- 25:53Speaker 1: still plus money for you. So everybody kind of likes
- 25:55Speaker 1: to make that bet because it looks like it's value,
- 25:57Speaker 1: but it isn't. The books know that. They make a
- 25:59Speaker 1: lot of money off of that. So I like, if
- 26:02Speaker 1: you want to play like a hitter prop, I recommend
- 26:04Speaker 1: hits plus runs plus RBIs on that particular batter and
- 26:08Speaker 1: you'll be getting somewhere between like one and a half
- 26:10Speaker 1: and two and a half, depending on what the who
- 26:12Speaker 1: the batter is. George Springer, by the way, has the
- 26:14Speaker 1: only extra base hit that Toronto has off of boil.
- 26:18Speaker 1: He did have a double, it looks like in that game,
- 26:20Speaker 1: so I guess take that for what it's worth. He
- 26:23Speaker 1: might be able to do something in this game. But yeah,
- 26:26Speaker 1: I do recommend hits plus runs floss RBIs instead of
- 26:28Speaker 1: total bases as well, because with total basses, if your
- 26:31Speaker 1: guy walks, the at bat completely gets erased because it
- 26:35Speaker 1: doesn't count for total bases. But at least with hits
- 26:38Speaker 1: pluss runs floss RBIs if the guy walks, you at
- 26:40Speaker 1: least have a chance that he scores a run or
- 26:43Speaker 1: he could even walk in orrun and get an RBI
- 26:45Speaker 1: on it. White Sox at Washington this is one of
- 26:48Speaker 1: the one of the worst series that's going on right now,
- 26:51Speaker 1: two absolutely dead teams. Washington return home from a road
- 26:56Speaker 1: trip yesterday and they lost ten to nine, So now
- 26:59Speaker 1: they're in a spot where they might bounce back in
- 27:00Speaker 1: this game. Because I talk about when a team returns
- 27:02Speaker 1: home from a road trip, it can be a distracted spot,
- 27:05Speaker 1: especially when you're a bad team like Washington. But if
- 27:07Speaker 1: that team loses, sometimes they will refocus in the next game,
- 27:10Speaker 1: and maybe they will in this game against the White Sox.
- 27:13Speaker 1: You got two bad bullpens here. The White Sox use
- 27:16Speaker 1: four of their relieve pitchers yesterday. Washington used even more
- 27:20Speaker 1: than that, five I think is what that is. And
- 27:22Speaker 1: Washington's bullpend is even worse than the White Sox. Washington's
- 27:25Speaker 1: like a bottom two bullpend and all of baseball, they
- 27:28Speaker 1: are really really bad. So somebody to keep in mind there.
- 27:31Speaker 1: I think, did I say I lean to the over
- 27:33Speaker 1: yesterday in that game? I don't know if I did
- 27:35Speaker 1: or not, but it definitely happened, and it might happen
- 27:38Speaker 1: again in this game yesterday a ten to nine final.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Washington is the better offense of these two, but it's
- 27:46Speaker 1: not that significant. The offenses aren't really that good. But
- 27:49Speaker 1: sometimes when the pitching is so bad and it doesn't
- 27:51Speaker 1: even really matter that much, like the game doesn't matter anymore.
- 27:54Speaker 1: A lot of times you just see that the batters
- 27:56Speaker 1: just come out swinging, man, and just having some fun.
- 27:59Speaker 1: So you do. It's almost like that All Star game effect,
- 28:03Speaker 1: and you know, the fielders just don't give a shit
- 28:05Speaker 1: as much the pitchers don't give as much of a shit.
- 28:07Speaker 1: It depends, man. It might be another one of those
- 28:10Speaker 1: games here. Though Sean Burke is pitching for the White Sox.
- 28:13Speaker 1: I believe this is his rookie season. He hasn't been
- 28:16Speaker 1: that good. He's been okay. Four point two nine ERA
- 28:19Speaker 1: one point four to seven. Whip is pretty bad though.
- 28:21Speaker 1: The ERA is tolerable, but the Whip putting too many
- 28:24Speaker 1: guys on base man his era should probably be worse
- 28:27Speaker 1: than it is. He is a little bit worse on
- 28:29Speaker 1: the road as well, four point seven to eight road ERA.
- 28:32Speaker 1: This month, he hasn't been that good thirteen to eight
- 28:35Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio, four point three to eight ERA.
- 28:38Speaker 1: He's not going deep into games. I think they're kind
- 28:40Speaker 1: of limiting his pitch count a little bit because they're
- 28:43Speaker 1: going nowhere this year. They don't really want to wreck
- 28:44Speaker 1: his arm and burn him out as a young pitcher.
- 28:47Speaker 1: But he hasn't made it past four and a third
- 28:49Speaker 1: innings in his last five outings, so you'll probably get
- 28:52Speaker 1: something similar here. He'll probably go about four innings in
- 28:54Speaker 1: this game. But he does have the advantage of Washington
- 28:57Speaker 1: never having faced him before. So these young pitchers and
- 29:00Speaker 1: they do have a little bit of an edge sometimes,
- 29:02Speaker 1: and they're facing hitters that I haven't seen them before
- 29:03Speaker 1: because the hitters have to try to figure him out
- 29:06Speaker 1: on the fly. Oh wait, I didn't talk about Toronto start.
- 29:10Speaker 1: I'll do that in a minute. Jake Irvin is pitching
- 29:13Speaker 1: for Washington. He's been awful. Five point six ninety IRA
- 29:16Speaker 1: one point four to four whip for Irvin. That's obviously bad.
- 29:21Speaker 1: He's been a little bit better at home five point
- 29:23Speaker 1: three three e RA is still not good, really bad.
- 29:26Speaker 1: This month. He's been in an awful for him recently
- 29:28Speaker 1: seven point seven to eighty RA. His RA in August
- 29:32Speaker 1: was even worse sixteen to eight strike a walk race
- 29:36Speaker 1: here this month, he's not pitching well. Things are not
- 29:39Speaker 1: going well for him at all. I believe by the way,
- 29:42Speaker 1: he was the pitcher on the mound when that ridiculous
- 29:44Speaker 1: catch was made in the outfield by I don't remember
- 29:48Speaker 1: the guys Jacob Young I think is his name. It was,
- 29:50Speaker 1: Which was which game was that? That was a game?
- 29:53Speaker 1: I don't even remember what game that was. But Irvin
- 29:56Speaker 1: was the pitcher in that game, I'm pretty sure. And
- 29:59Speaker 1: the Young like tried to catch it, went off his glove,
- 30:02Speaker 1: looked like it was gonna fall to the ground. He
- 30:04Speaker 1: kicked it hack he sacked it up off his foot
- 30:07Speaker 1: and still caught it. I believe Irvin was the pitcher
- 30:09Speaker 1: in that game, so I guess it was that game
- 30:12Speaker 1: against the Mets. But anyway, yeah, that was that was
- 30:16Speaker 1: a crazy fielding play there. But yeah, Ervan, he did
- 30:19Speaker 1: actually pitch pretty well in that game against the Mets
- 30:21Speaker 1: five and a third innings to Eur and runs a
- 30:23Speaker 1: lot of it. I think it would have been a
- 30:24Speaker 1: little bit more if that catch didn nap and five
- 30:27Speaker 1: to two strike out walk ratio, but still he's not
- 30:29Speaker 1: in good form right now. But the White Sox had
- 30:31Speaker 1: never faced him before, so he does have that unfamiliarity edge.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Even though I'm looking at this and I'm thinking, yeah,
- 30:37Speaker 1: neither starting pitcher is that good. Probably an over makes
- 30:40Speaker 1: sense in this game, but total is a little bit
- 30:43Speaker 1: down for eight and half juicy over to just eight
- 30:45Speaker 1: and a half, and both pitchers are pretty unfamiliar. I mean,
- 30:48Speaker 1: they are completely unfamiliar to the opposing hitters, So that
- 30:51Speaker 1: kind of it's a little bit of a drawback as
- 30:53Speaker 1: far as playing the over, so I don't want to
- 30:55Speaker 1: do it, even though I probably do still slightly into
- 30:57Speaker 1: an over there, especially with the bad bull pens. The
- 31:00Speaker 1: money's coming in on Washington for what it's worth, they're
- 31:03Speaker 1: down for minus one twenty one to fifteen. They are
- 31:05Speaker 1: kind of in that bounce back spot. But I wouldn't
- 31:07Speaker 1: want to have my money on Jake Cervin. Fifty nine
- 31:10Speaker 1: percent of tickets, eighty two percent of the cash coming in.
- 31:12Speaker 1: I know the White Sox offense is really bad though
- 31:15Speaker 1: money is coming in on Washington. But yeah, I mean,
- 31:19Speaker 1: you're playing with fire if you want. Jake Irvin Man Toronto.
- 31:22Speaker 1: By the way, I forgot to mention, I forgot to
- 31:24Speaker 1: finish this off and then show the odds on this.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Trey Y Savage just pitching for the Blue Jays. Don't
- 31:30Speaker 1: know how to pronounce his name. He's a young pitcher.
- 31:32Speaker 1: He's only twenty two. He's a rookie. Uh. He had
- 31:35Speaker 1: one good start and one bad start, so five VRA
- 31:38Speaker 1: one point four to four whip not much you can
- 31:40Speaker 1: really take away from any of that. He hasn't pitched
- 31:42Speaker 1: it at home yet either, so his first two starts
- 31:45Speaker 1: were both on the road. The first one was at Tampa,
- 31:47Speaker 1: which is a hitter friendly ballpark in the temporary stadium
- 31:50Speaker 1: they're and he pitched well against Tampa a five innings,
- 31:53Speaker 1: pitch one on and run, allowed nine strikeouts, two walks,
- 31:56Speaker 1: really solid performance. But then he followed that up with
- 31:58Speaker 1: the worst performance against Kansas City in a pitcher friendly
- 32:02Speaker 1: park against a weaker offense, and he only went four innings,
- 32:05Speaker 1: alloing four earned runs and had more walks than strikeouts,
- 32:09Speaker 1: three walks too, strikeouts. That's not a great sign. I mean,
- 32:12Speaker 1: his first start was a really good sign. So it's
- 32:15Speaker 1: kind of hard to figure out what you're gonna get
- 32:17Speaker 1: out of him. I mean, he's a highly touted prospect.
- 32:19Speaker 1: His numbers in the minors, his Scotty reports, they all
- 32:22Speaker 1: look pretty good. So I think he should probably bounce back,
- 32:25Speaker 1: But it's difficult to say. And the problem here is
- 32:27Speaker 1: he's facing Tampa Bay again here, so he doesn't have
- 32:30Speaker 1: the unfamiliarity yet here because Tampa did see him that
- 32:33Speaker 1: one time. So the advantage that he had in that
- 32:36Speaker 1: game of being unfamiliar to them is gone because Tampa
- 32:39Speaker 1: just saw him, So he doesn't have that advantage anymore.
- 32:42Speaker 1: So take from that what you will. He had eighteen
- 32:45Speaker 1: at bats against some nine strikeouts, two walks. Like I said,
- 32:48Speaker 1: only one extra base hit allowed was a double from
- 32:50Speaker 1: Diaz one sixty seven batting average allowed four to seventy
- 32:54Speaker 1: two o ps. But I don't expect you Savage to
- 32:56Speaker 1: do quite as well this time out of the money
- 32:59Speaker 1: is coming in Onto Toronto. They did drop for minus
- 33:01Speaker 1: one sixty five to minus one fifty two, but you're
- 33:04Speaker 1: not really getting a great price on Toronto here. I mean, yes,
- 33:07Speaker 1: they are the team with the motivation here, although Tampa
- 33:10Speaker 1: might be motivated in a divisional battle to try to
- 33:13Speaker 1: spoil their season. Sixty three percent of tickets, ninety two
- 33:16Speaker 1: percent of the cash on Toronto, so the money is
- 33:18Speaker 1: coming in on Toronto. I mean, if you really want
- 33:21Speaker 1: to play Toronto here, probably I would say run line
- 33:24Speaker 1: in the first five innings and just go with you
- 33:26Speaker 1: Savage to outpitch Boil in this one. Yay Savage. I
- 33:31Speaker 1: don't know how do you. I gotta figure out how
- 33:33Speaker 1: you pronounce that guy's name, man, But yeah, whatever. Colorado
- 33:37Speaker 1: at San Francisco, Uh, two teams playing out the stretch here, man.
- 33:41Speaker 1: San Francisco won yesterday six to three. San Francisco is
- 33:45Speaker 1: the better team. They actually have the better offense. That's
- 33:47Speaker 1: how bad Colorado's offense is. Sar Francisco has the better
- 33:50Speaker 1: bullpen significantly, only use two relief pitchers over the last
- 33:53Speaker 1: two days. Colorado used more than that, use six relief pitchers,
- 33:58Speaker 1: so San Francisco does have a big bull ben edge
- 34:00Speaker 1: in this game. Kyle Freeland is pitching for Colorado. He
- 34:04Speaker 1: has been one of their less bad pitchers five VR
- 34:08Speaker 1: one point four to five WHIP. I know it still
- 34:10Speaker 1: doesn't sound good. He's been decent on the road four
- 34:13Speaker 1: point three six ERA away from Courtsefield, so not as
- 34:16Speaker 1: bad on the road, and this month he actually has
- 34:18Speaker 1: been good a three point five to five VRA twenty
- 34:21Speaker 1: three to three strike out walk ratio, so Freeland is
- 34:24Speaker 1: actually in pretty good form right now. He's allowed two
- 34:27Speaker 1: or fewer earned runs in all but one start this month,
- 34:29Speaker 1: which was one at Courtsefield. He didn't do well against
- 34:32Speaker 1: San Francisco though, on September second, he didn't even record
- 34:36Speaker 1: an out and he gave up two earned runs, so
- 34:38Speaker 1: that's pretty bad. Overall. San Francisco's seen him a lot
- 34:41Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen at bats and his numbers are
- 34:44Speaker 1: not quite that bad, although they're not good at all.
- 34:46Speaker 1: Twenty to twelve strike out walk ratio, way too many walks,
- 34:49Speaker 1: although seven or floor as so he kind of pitches
- 34:52Speaker 1: around him. Two sixty one batting average allowed and eight
- 34:55Speaker 1: h six o ps, so still not great numbers, but
- 34:58Speaker 1: better than not recording an out. Freeland is in pretty
- 35:02Speaker 1: good form right now. At least he's going up against
- 35:04Speaker 1: Justin Verlander, and we got to see what Justin Verlander
- 35:08Speaker 1: is like saying out there, because this might be this
- 35:11Speaker 1: might be the last time he pitches in his career. Man, Like,
- 35:14Speaker 1: I really don't know, but he hasn't announced it. I
- 35:16Speaker 1: don't think so, I don't know, man. I mean, he's
- 35:18Speaker 1: forty two years old. He hasn't been that good this year.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Is he gonna finally pack it in? Maybe he's not.
- 35:23Speaker 1: It's possible he's not. But this is going to be
- 35:26Speaker 1: his last start of the season obviously, so there might
- 35:29Speaker 1: be a little bit of hype around that. Like in
- 35:31Speaker 1: case this is his last start ever, he might get
- 35:34Speaker 1: a little bit more pumped for it. He's got a
- 35:36Speaker 1: three point eight eight ERA this year. One point three
- 35:39Speaker 1: to eight whip is not good, but he's still limiting
- 35:41Speaker 1: the damage. He's been pretty good in this stadium three
- 35:44Speaker 1: point eight ERA. Again, he's putting too many guys on base, though.
- 35:47Speaker 1: He's got a one point eight five ERA this month,
- 35:50Speaker 1: which is pretty commendable, especially at his age. He's been
- 35:54Speaker 1: good for a couple of months now, but still putting
- 35:56Speaker 1: too many guys on base via the walk. Sixteen to
- 35:59Speaker 1: eight strike a walk great shore this month. That's not
- 36:01Speaker 1: good against Colorado they have a bad offense. Most of
- 36:06Speaker 1: this is in the past, but he's done really well
- 36:08Speaker 1: against them, thirty two at bats, seven strikeouts, one walk.
- 36:11Speaker 1: He's selling to a one to fifty six average against
- 36:13Speaker 1: him in four to thirty two ops. So he does
- 36:16Speaker 1: do well against this week offense. So he might do
- 36:19Speaker 1: well here. But if you want San Francisco, you got
- 36:21Speaker 1: to pay a huge price. They're down for minus two
- 36:23Speaker 1: to thirty five to minus two to eighteen on the
- 36:25Speaker 1: money line, sixty three percent of tickets, seventy five percent
- 36:28Speaker 1: of the cash coming in on San Francisco. So the
- 36:31Speaker 1: money coming in on San Francisco. I mean, I can
- 36:36Speaker 1: see some arguments for an under here. I mean, you
- 36:38Speaker 1: got two pretty weak offenses, you got a pitcher friendly
- 36:40Speaker 1: ballpark here. Freeland is pitching pretty well right now. Verlander
- 36:44Speaker 1: also is in pitching too badly right now. Eighty percent
- 36:47Speaker 1: of tickets, ninety two percent of the cash on the over.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Don't think I agree with that. I think I would
- 36:51Speaker 1: look more towards an under. You gotta worry about Colorado's bullpens.
- 36:54Speaker 1: You could maybe do it first five innings, or maybe
- 36:57Speaker 1: you just suck it up because San Francisco's bullpen is good,
- 37:00Speaker 1: so you at least get half of that going for
- 37:03Speaker 1: you in the later part of the game. We will
- 37:05Speaker 1: say Detroit at Boston Big Series year Man Red Sox
- 37:10Speaker 1: won four to three on the walkoff yesterday. They've won
- 37:12Speaker 1: three of their last four games. Red Sox have clinched
- 37:15Speaker 1: a playoff spot now, so the Red Sox might take
- 37:17Speaker 1: a little bit of a step back now because the
- 37:19Speaker 1: Red Sox have made the playoffs, Detroit has not yet.
- 37:22Speaker 1: The Red Sox are guaranteed a wildcard spot. It's just
- 37:25Speaker 1: a matter of which wildcard are they going to be
- 37:28Speaker 1: shuffling wildcard positions. I don't think it's really that much
- 37:31Speaker 1: of a motivator. So Detroit is the more motivated team here,
- 37:36Speaker 1: as you know, they have something to play for. They're
- 37:38Speaker 1: trying to play for the division they're trying to make.
- 37:40Speaker 1: They might not even make the playoffs, so they're really
- 37:43Speaker 1: trying to make the playoffs. So though, right now, Houston
- 37:45Speaker 1: is the likeliest team to be left out completely though,
- 37:48Speaker 1: because they're a one game behind both Cleveland and Detroit.
- 37:53Speaker 1: I believe in the Red Sox are one game ahead
- 37:55Speaker 1: of those two teams. I believe is what the situation
- 37:58Speaker 1: is the Red Sox use a lot of relief staff
- 38:00Speaker 1: yesterday they use what is that six relief pitchers. That's
- 38:03Speaker 1: not good. So the Red Sox bullpend, well, it is
- 38:06Speaker 1: the better of the two bullpens. It's probably not the
- 38:10Speaker 1: better one right here because Detroit used less of their
- 38:12Speaker 1: bullpen yesterday. So Detroit's bullpen is a better rest shape.
- 38:17Speaker 1: The Red Sox had the somewhat better offense here, believe
- 38:20Speaker 1: it or not. But the problem with the Detroit here
- 38:23Speaker 1: having arrested bullpen is that they haven't decided on a
- 38:25Speaker 1: starting pitcher. And you know how often Detroit with aj
- 38:28Speaker 1: Hinch they go with a bullpen game, so they might
- 38:31Speaker 1: be doing that in this game. We see I know
- 38:32Speaker 1: the Yeah, they've decided on Keeter Montero here, so it's
- 38:36Speaker 1: a bullpen ish game for Detroit here. We can look
- 38:40Speaker 1: him up here, I mean, he's one of their guys,
- 38:43Speaker 1: that is one of their openers. Uh, he's mediocre. Four
- 38:46Speaker 1: point four to eighty RA one point four whip for
- 38:49Speaker 1: him is not very good. He's a little bit better
- 38:52Speaker 1: on the road three point nine to three ROADYRA. This
- 38:55Speaker 1: month he's been decent three point four six ERA, twelve
- 38:58Speaker 1: to six strikeout walk ratio him, he's usually gonna get
- 39:02Speaker 1: you about three or four innings when he comes in there.
- 39:04Speaker 1: He'll start the game and then depending on the matchups
- 39:07Speaker 1: and whatever, they'll go to the bullpen after he's in
- 39:09Speaker 1: there for a few winnings, which is probably what's gonna
- 39:11Speaker 1: happen here. He's walked too many guys this month, but
- 39:14Speaker 1: four of the walks are in his last out and
- 39:15Speaker 1: he gets Atlanta, but that was a bad outing, so
- 39:18Speaker 1: maybe he's coming back out of form again here. The
- 39:21Speaker 1: Red Sox haven't seen much of him twelve at bats,
- 39:23Speaker 1: but they've hit him pretty well. They have a four
- 39:25Speaker 1: to seventeen batting average off him one thousand and one
- 39:28Speaker 1: sixty seven ops. Bregman has a home run off him
- 39:31Speaker 1: three to zero strike out walk ratio though, but Montero
- 39:34Speaker 1: might not really actually do that well in this game,
- 39:37Speaker 1: and you know that means Detroit's gonna have some extra
- 39:39Speaker 1: bullpen usage because he's probably not gonna go the full
- 39:42Speaker 1: starter's workload. The Red Sox have Connolly or early pitching
- 39:45Speaker 1: who really has kind of surpassed Peyton Toley, although totally's
- 39:49Speaker 1: been coming out of the bulp and early doesn't throw
- 39:52Speaker 1: as hard as totally, although he's kind of ramped up
- 39:55Speaker 1: his fastball a bit so it's in the mid to
- 39:57Speaker 1: high nineties now. But early has been good for the
- 39:59Speaker 1: Red Sox far one point eight eight ERA, one point
- 40:03Speaker 1: one to two WHIP. He's been good at home one
- 40:06Speaker 1: point six nine ERA. He's made three starts, so it's
- 40:08Speaker 1: a small sample size. But what's impressive about what he's
- 40:11Speaker 1: done is both road starts were at those horrible temporary
- 40:15Speaker 1: stadiums that are both hit or friendly, at the A's
- 40:17Speaker 1: and Tampa, and he did fairly well in both of
- 40:20Speaker 1: those starts. And he faced the A's a second time
- 40:23Speaker 1: immediately and shut them down again, so that's a good
- 40:26Speaker 1: sign as well. And he has a twenty two to
- 40:28Speaker 1: three strike a walk ratio of fourteen to third innings also,
- 40:31Speaker 1: that is a good sign. He didn't allow any home
- 40:33Speaker 1: runs in those home run friendly parks too, so he
- 40:36Speaker 1: is pitching pretty well. Man. He didn't pitch quite as
- 40:41Speaker 1: well last time out against Tampa. They'll give up two
- 40:42Speaker 1: earned runs on the lasted four innings. They don't want
- 40:45Speaker 1: to like overwork him though, and he's gonna be probably
- 40:47Speaker 1: in the rotation for the playoffs, I would imagine, because
- 40:51Speaker 1: usually you go with the four man rotation of the playoffs.
- 40:53Speaker 1: But he's been good enough that I think you got
- 40:55Speaker 1: to put him in the in the rotation in the playoffs.
- 40:57Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens there. But they obviously don't
- 41:01Speaker 1: want to burn him out. But that's not really a
- 41:02Speaker 1: concern yet when he's made three starts in the majors
- 41:05Speaker 1: this year, and of course Detroit has never seen him before,
- 41:08Speaker 1: so I do think you have to give early the
- 41:10Speaker 1: edge year in the starting pitching matchup. The Red Sox
- 41:12Speaker 1: are down for mist one thirty to twenty eight. Though
- 41:15Speaker 1: Detroit looks like they're public right now, eighty nine percent
- 41:18Speaker 1: of tickets don't really see a legitimate cash percentage yet
- 41:21Speaker 1: on this total is pretty high at nine. The Red
- 41:24Speaker 1: Sox bullpend might be a bit of a concern. I
- 41:26Speaker 1: think if you go Red Sox here, you'd want to
- 41:28Speaker 1: go first five innings only in this game, just because
- 41:31Speaker 1: they have an edge in the starting pitching matchup most likely,
- 41:34Speaker 1: but I don't want to touch it. Jeffrey, thanks for
- 41:36Speaker 1: hanging out. Man. Assad Is pitching tomorrow might be a
- 41:40Speaker 1: spot to take Saint Louis tomorrow. Man, I still don't
- 41:42Speaker 1: think Asad is that good. We will see though, We'll
- 41:47Speaker 1: see what that matchup looks like. I haven't gotten to
- 41:49Speaker 1: my baseball plays yet, which they're both in the in
- 41:52Speaker 1: the night slate. By the way, both of my baseball plays.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Then I'm going to give out today a night games.
- 41:57Speaker 1: We're still in the afternoon slate. The last game in
- 41:59Speaker 1: the afternoon is one that means a lot as far
- 42:02Speaker 1: as the playoffs are concerned. The Mets are playing Miami again.
- 42:06Speaker 1: Miami beat them yesterday. Miami is showing up for these games, man,
- 42:09Speaker 1: late in the season. Miami won six to two yesterday. Miami,
- 42:13Speaker 1: I mean it's it's their last series of the year.
- 42:15Speaker 1: They get the Mets coming into their place, so yeah,
- 42:17Speaker 1: it's a motivation. They have the chance to kick the
- 42:20Speaker 1: Mets out of the playoffs, so Miami is definitely motivated here.
- 42:23Speaker 1: The Mets, too, have the better offense and the better bullpend,
- 42:26Speaker 1: though they're definitely the better team. Bullpen usage was slightly
- 42:31Speaker 1: towards towards Miami yesterday as far as Miami having less
- 42:34Speaker 1: bullpen usage yesterday, but they use two relievers the Mets
- 42:38Speaker 1: use three. I mean the Mets still have the better
- 42:40Speaker 1: bullpen here. Now the question is what's gonna happen with
- 42:43Speaker 1: the starting pitching matchup? Is the Mets are going with
- 42:45Speaker 1: Clay Holmes in this game. He's been all right this year.
- 42:48Speaker 1: A three point sixty six ERA is obviously good, but
- 42:51Speaker 1: a one point three to three whip his whip is
- 42:53Speaker 1: too high, man. I mean, he's getting a little bit
- 42:55Speaker 1: lucky as far as thera being like that, He's basically
- 42:59Speaker 1: got the same home and away doesn't really matter his schedule.
- 43:03Speaker 1: He might also be thrown off because he had a
- 43:05Speaker 1: couple of shorter starts on September sixteenth and September twenty first,
- 43:09Speaker 1: and then they brought him out of a bullpen to
- 43:11Speaker 1: pitch an inning against the Cubs on the twenty fourth,
- 43:15Speaker 1: and now he's making a start, So it seems like
- 43:17Speaker 1: he might not have a full start in this game.
- 43:19Speaker 1: It seems like on this weird schedule they might bring
- 43:22Speaker 1: him in and have him go like three four innings
- 43:24Speaker 1: this time and then go to the bullpend, depending on
- 43:27Speaker 1: like what's going on in the game, I guess, so
- 43:28Speaker 1: the Mets might start like mix mixing and matching pitchers
- 43:32Speaker 1: in this game, depending on the matchups, especially with only
- 43:34Speaker 1: one game left tomorrow, so the Mets are probably gonna
- 43:37Speaker 1: do something a little bit weird with their pitching in
- 43:39Speaker 1: this game, man, So I don't know what we want
- 43:42Speaker 1: to do with this. Holmes hasn't exactly been that great
- 43:45Speaker 1: this month. Four point one to five vras alright, sixteen
- 43:48Speaker 1: to seven strike a walk ratio. It's too many walks,
- 43:50Speaker 1: but he hasn't had a problem with the walks in
- 43:53Speaker 1: his recent outings, though again, he's not pitching that many
- 43:55Speaker 1: innings in those outings, so I don't think he's gonna
- 43:58Speaker 1: give us a deep start in this game, man. That
- 44:00Speaker 1: would be my guess. Against Miami, He's been okay. Forty
- 44:03Speaker 1: nine at bats, fifteen to three strikeout walk rat sho
- 44:06Speaker 1: is good, two eighty six batting average allowed and six
- 44:11Speaker 1: thirty three OPS is pretty low. So Homes does too
- 44:14Speaker 1: fairly well against Miami. So maybe if he's pitching well,
- 44:17Speaker 1: he will stay in the game for more of a
- 44:19Speaker 1: starter his workload. Who knows he's going up against Yuri Perez,
- 44:22Speaker 1: so I think he is the more talented pitcher, but
- 44:24Speaker 1: he's had some games where he's just blown up this year.
- 44:28Speaker 1: He's trying to come back from Tommy John surgery and
- 44:30Speaker 1: he's still only twenty two years old, so crazy to
- 44:33Speaker 1: have major arm surgery that early in your career. But
- 44:37Speaker 1: he's shown signs of being his former self this year.
- 44:39Speaker 1: He's got a four point two ERA, which isn't that good.
- 44:42Speaker 1: One point zero four whip is good. He's been way
- 44:45Speaker 1: better at home two point six to three home ERA,
- 44:48Speaker 1: so he is good here at home. Miami did win
- 44:51Speaker 1: his last three outings. Now. He has a four point
- 44:53Speaker 1: eight two ERA this month, which of course doesn't look good,
- 44:56Speaker 1: but it's mostly because he got blown up in one
- 44:58Speaker 1: road starting against Washington, and he has a twenty four
- 45:01Speaker 1: to two strikeout walk right here this month. So one
- 45:04Speaker 1: of his main problems that he's had has been walks,
- 45:07Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure in his career, but that hasn't been
- 45:08Speaker 1: a problem this month. This command has been really good.
- 45:11Speaker 1: He hasn't allowed any runs in his last two outings,
- 45:13Speaker 1: both on the road, one at Course Field, so it's
- 45:16Speaker 1: difficult to pitch there. Even though Colorado's offense isn't that good,
- 45:20Speaker 1: it's still a high elevation environment there. And then he
- 45:23Speaker 1: did not allow any runs at four innings against Texas
- 45:26Speaker 1: that's also a weak offense in a pitcher from the park.
- 45:30Speaker 1: But at least he is kind of back and form now,
- 45:32Speaker 1: at the very least. However, the last time he faced
- 45:35Speaker 1: the Mets was just horrendous at the Mets back on
- 45:38Speaker 1: August twenty ninth, who's like one of his worst starts
- 45:41Speaker 1: of his career. He didn't even go the full first inning,
- 45:44Speaker 1: gave up five and runs, two home runs, three hits,
- 45:47Speaker 1: two walks, didn't strike anybody out, Absolutely terrible. The Mets
- 45:52Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of experience against him, but
- 45:53Speaker 1: that was basically their experience against it. They have a
- 45:56Speaker 1: little bit more experience against him than that they have
- 45:58Speaker 1: seventeen at bats against and they have absolutely destroyed him.
- 46:02Speaker 1: Four strikeouts, five walks, four to seventy one average allowed,
- 46:05Speaker 1: three home runs allowed, which most of it was in
- 46:09Speaker 1: that one game though, oneenty six to twenty four. Oh ps,
- 46:12Speaker 1: you gotta think he's not gonna be as bad as
- 46:14Speaker 1: that again in this game. So he's probably gonna be
- 46:17Speaker 1: better in this game. But do you trust Uri Perez
- 46:19Speaker 1: though in this one? I don't think you really can. Uh.
- 46:23Speaker 1: The Mets are up for my one, twenty six to
- 46:25Speaker 1: one to twenty eight. So you're paying quite a price
- 46:28Speaker 1: though for the Mets on the road there with a
- 46:29Speaker 1: matchup like this, because I don't know that you could
- 46:31Speaker 1: trust homes either. Eighty seven percent of tickets ninety eight
- 46:34Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the Mets side, I think,
- 46:39Speaker 1: I mean, for me, I'm kind of thinking an over
- 46:42Speaker 1: makes more sense in this game, but the money's coming
- 46:43Speaker 1: in on the under. The totals down from eight and
- 46:45Speaker 1: a half to eight fifty eight percent of tickets on
- 46:47Speaker 1: the over, ninety percent of the cash on the under.
- 46:49Speaker 1: But Perez, with how bad his matchup numbers are homes
- 46:53Speaker 1: not being trustworthy and the Mets might be rolling out
- 46:56Speaker 1: some extra bullpen arms here. To me, it seems like
- 46:58Speaker 1: more of an over game, but that would be going
- 47:02Speaker 1: completely against the market. Minnesota at Philadelphia. Philadelphia is only
- 47:07Speaker 1: one game behind the Brewers. So Philadelphia, I don't know
- 47:10Speaker 1: how motivated they're gonna be for this, but they do
- 47:12Speaker 1: play better at home and they have a chance to
- 47:15Speaker 1: catch the Brewers. I think Philadelphia would have to win
- 47:17Speaker 1: both of their remaining two games, while the Brewers would
- 47:20Speaker 1: have to go oh and two. I'm pretty sure because
- 47:22Speaker 1: I think the Brewers do have the tiebreaker against them,
- 47:25Speaker 1: but you can correct me if I'm wrong about that.
- 47:27Speaker 1: I might be wrong. So Philadelphia might have a little
- 47:29Speaker 1: bit to play for as far as the potential of
- 47:32Speaker 1: getting the top seed in all of the National League.
- 47:37Speaker 1: They won yesterday three to one against Minnesota. Minnesota is
- 47:39Speaker 1: just playing out the stretch here, but maybe Minnesota has
- 47:42Speaker 1: some motivation here. I mean they did win or excuse
- 47:45Speaker 1: the Philadelphia one yesterday, right, Yeah, they won three to one,
- 47:48Speaker 1: So I don't know how much motivation Minnesota really has
- 47:50Speaker 1: at this point playing out the stretch. But Philadelphia does
- 47:53Speaker 1: have Minnesota's former closer, Duran, not Jaron Duran, Joan Duran,
- 48:01Speaker 1: Minnesota's closed. They traded him to Philadelphia the trade deadline,
- 48:05Speaker 1: I think, along with maybe one other guy. I forget
- 48:07Speaker 1: what the trade was, So there might be some motivation
- 48:12Speaker 1: and that I think Mick Able today's starter, was actually
- 48:14Speaker 1: part of that trade as well, where Philadelphia has sent
- 48:17Speaker 1: him over to Minnesota as part of that trade, I think.
- 48:20Speaker 1: So it's a little bit crazy what's going on in
- 48:22Speaker 1: this game. Both of these bullpen stink. Minnesota's is the
- 48:26Speaker 1: worst of the two. They used three relief pitchers just today, Philadelphia.
- 48:29Speaker 1: Only is one which was Duran or Duran Duran Philadelphia, Yeah,
- 48:38Speaker 1: I mean they have the bullpen advantage here. Surprisingly, Minnesota's
- 48:41Speaker 1: is just that bad. Philadelphia has the better offense as well.
- 48:45Speaker 1: Mick Abel from Minnesota. Like I said, he was on Philadelphia.
- 48:48Speaker 1: He's still a pretty young guy. He's shown glimpses of
- 48:51Speaker 1: being okay, but his overall numbers are just not good.
- 48:54Speaker 1: So I don't know what we're gonna get out of
- 48:55Speaker 1: him there Man seven point three six, ERA one point
- 48:59Speaker 1: six and Whip. Obviously those numbers are awful. He is
- 49:04Speaker 1: facing the team that traded them away, though, so that
- 49:06Speaker 1: is a motivating factor. When you get to the first
- 49:08Speaker 1: time you get to face the team that traded you away,
- 49:11Speaker 1: you get a little bit pumped up for it, like, oh,
- 49:12Speaker 1: I'm not good enough for you. Well, I'll show you.
- 49:15Speaker 1: He hasn't been very good since being acquired by Minnesota,
- 49:18Speaker 1: though he's made three appearances. I don't know if any
- 49:21Speaker 1: of them were actually starts, but it's been pretty bad.
- 49:24Speaker 1: He had a twenty four point seven to five yr
- 49:26Speaker 1: in his first two starts against the White Sox in
- 49:29Speaker 1: San Diego. Not exactly good there. Those are not terrific offenses,
- 49:33Speaker 1: and then Cleveland also not a terrific offense. He at
- 49:36Speaker 1: least settled down a little bit, which was his one
- 49:39Speaker 1: outing this month after they gave him like a month off.
- 49:41Speaker 1: Maybe they sent him to the miners or whatever. He
- 49:43Speaker 1: went four innings on tour and runs in that one,
- 49:45Speaker 1: but he still walked three guys six strikeouts. Still, it
- 49:49Speaker 1: does show that he's at least kind of getting his
- 49:51Speaker 1: bearings again. It might pitch a little bit better, but
- 49:53Speaker 1: it's gonna be difficult to face Philly's offense. Philly has
- 49:56Speaker 1: never actually faced him before though, I mean, he was
- 49:58Speaker 1: on their team, so I don't know. Maybe they've fased
- 50:00Speaker 1: him in like a practice capacity or whatever. That's not
- 50:04Speaker 1: like an actual game environment, man, so Philly is unfamiliar
- 50:08Speaker 1: with him. So at least he does have that advantage
- 50:11Speaker 1: facing hitters that haven't seen him in a real game
- 50:13Speaker 1: environment before. I don't know if that's gonna be enough,
- 50:16Speaker 1: though Philly's got ron your Suarez pitching pretty good season
- 50:20Speaker 1: for him three point one two ERA, one point two whip.
- 50:24Speaker 1: He's been a little bit worse at home though three
- 50:26Speaker 1: point three to ninety RA is still not bad. Though
- 50:29Speaker 1: this month three point six eighty ra twenty three to
- 50:31Speaker 1: eight strike a walk ratio not bad, although too many
- 50:35Speaker 1: walks for the most part. He just lost a streak
- 50:38Speaker 1: that he had where Philadelphia had won six straight starts
- 50:40Speaker 1: for him and then they lost last time. But he
- 50:42Speaker 1: didn't do well at Arizona last time. I'll give up
- 50:44Speaker 1: six orred runs in four innings, so that might mean
- 50:48Speaker 1: he's coming a little bit out of form here. I
- 50:49Speaker 1: don't know. It kind of remains to be seeing him,
- 50:51Speaker 1: and that's a tough hitters. It's a good park for
- 50:54Speaker 1: hitters that at the Arizona Stadium there in Arizona is
- 50:57Speaker 1: a good hitting team. Suarez against minnesot Do. They only
- 51:00Speaker 1: have nineteen at bats against him, but he's had the
- 51:02Speaker 1: upper hand in that matchup. They don't have any extra
- 51:04Speaker 1: base hits off him. Six strikeouts, one walk, two sixty
- 51:08Speaker 1: three batting average allowed in five sixty three ops, so
- 51:11Speaker 1: Suarez has done pretty well against them. Yeah, I mean,
- 51:15Speaker 1: even though it's kind of an interesting situation with Able
- 51:18Speaker 1: making the start here, I don't know if he's gonna
- 51:19Speaker 1: be able to go that deep into this game or
- 51:22Speaker 1: pitch well. So it would be better if he was
- 51:24Speaker 1: going up, but gets a guy named Cain. By the way,
- 51:28Speaker 1: bring back Matt Kin. That was his name, right, He
- 51:31Speaker 1: was a Giants pitcher not that long ago that you
- 51:34Speaker 1: get Kane versus Able, Philly's up for minus one ninety
- 51:37Speaker 1: five to minus two hundred. Here, we don't really see
- 51:39Speaker 1: any valid percentages yet on this game. So honestly, I mean,
- 51:43Speaker 1: I just don't know what you want to do with
- 51:45Speaker 1: this game. It's a very hard game to read for me.
- 51:49Speaker 1: I mean, I could see some arguments for a first
- 51:51Speaker 1: five inning under in this game, and it really depends
- 51:53Speaker 1: on how well you think Able is gonna do it,
- 51:54Speaker 1: if that motivational factor is gonna actually help him enough.
- 51:57Speaker 1: But we will see. I didn't put the games that
- 52:00Speaker 1: I have plays on in the title here because they
- 52:02Speaker 1: both are shit games, and one is Pittsburgh in Atlanta
- 52:05Speaker 1: a Shitsburg and Atlanta. So I'm gonna have a play
- 52:08Speaker 1: on that game, which I'll give out at the end
- 52:09Speaker 1: of the show. Texas at Cleveland, of course, this is
- 52:13Speaker 1: one of the games with implications. Cleveland's lost too in
- 52:16Speaker 1: a row. Now losing to Detroit and then losing the
- 52:18Speaker 1: first game of this series to Texas. Cleveland is still
- 52:21Speaker 1: holding on to the divisional lead right now, they're tied
- 52:24Speaker 1: with Detroit with the tiebreaker against Detroit. Really really crazy, man.
- 52:29Speaker 1: It looks like Cleveland is pretty likely to make the
- 52:31Speaker 1: playoffs at this point, but they got to win to
- 52:34Speaker 1: make sure that they do. Texas seems like they're still
- 52:37Speaker 1: showing up for some of these games, so I mean
- 52:39Speaker 1: they came to play yesterday. At least Texas has won
- 52:42Speaker 1: a couple of games in a row now, so Texas
- 52:44Speaker 1: does have the opportunity to boot one of the other
- 52:46Speaker 1: wildcard teams out of the playoffs here. So just like
- 52:50Speaker 1: Texas got eliminated, maybe they want to do the same
- 52:52Speaker 1: thing to Cleveland here. Potentially, we got two pretty good
- 52:56Speaker 1: bullpends here. Cleveland's is actually in the worst shape after
- 52:59Speaker 1: they use five or four relief pitchers yesterday, excuse me,
- 53:02Speaker 1: some somewhat heavy usage from them. Texas only used two yesterday,
- 53:06Speaker 1: so you got to give Texas the bullpen edge. Hear, though,
- 53:09Speaker 1: Cleveland generally has the better bullpen, but they're both pretty
- 53:11Speaker 1: good bullpens. Cleveland has the worst of the two offenses.
- 53:15Speaker 1: They're both terrible offenses. Cleveland's is the worst of the two.
- 53:20Speaker 1: Yesterday went over, So it's a good thing I didn't
- 53:22Speaker 1: actually go forward with that under yesterday, which I was
- 53:24Speaker 1: considering the under in the game yesterday, and that was
- 53:27Speaker 1: a Losers was a seven to three Texas win yesterday.
- 53:32Speaker 1: Pretty ill. I had to see Texas scoring seven runs,
- 53:35Speaker 1: although it has happened before. Jacob Lats is pitching for
- 53:39Speaker 1: Texas here. Good numbers on the season for the most part. Well,
- 53:42Speaker 1: two point eighty RA is obviously good. One point two
- 53:45Speaker 1: to six whip is a little bit high, so you
- 53:47Speaker 1: kind of expected his ERA to be a little bit
- 53:49Speaker 1: higher than it is. He's been a little bit worse
- 53:51Speaker 1: on the road three point two seven road era with Lats. Though,
- 53:55Speaker 1: you don't know how long he's gonna go in this
- 53:57Speaker 1: game because he's made some almost full start so he's
- 54:00Speaker 1: gone more than five innings in games, but he also
- 54:02Speaker 1: has made some shortened starts to some relief appearances and whatever,
- 54:05Speaker 1: So you don't know what he's gonna do in this game. Man,
- 54:07Speaker 1: It depends whether or not Texas wants to kind of
- 54:10Speaker 1: go with more of a bullpen approach here or whether
- 54:12Speaker 1: they're gonna let him pitch longer into the game. Again,
- 54:15Speaker 1: when you get these last games of the season are
- 54:17Speaker 1: kind of difficult to predict as far as like, what
- 54:19Speaker 1: are these teams gonna do with some of these starters here.
- 54:22Speaker 1: Lats this month as a one point five to nine ERA,
- 54:25Speaker 1: which is good, buten a nine to eight strikeout walk
- 54:27Speaker 1: ratio is not good. Not a high strikeout rate, but
- 54:30Speaker 1: it's still too many walks as well. Although he's not
- 54:33Speaker 1: allowing that many hits, so he is difficult to hit.
- 54:36Speaker 1: Cleveland doesn't hit that well, but in seven at bats
- 54:38Speaker 1: they've actually been able to hit Lats. So the only
- 54:40Speaker 1: four their hitters have faced him before Hedges has a
- 54:45Speaker 1: home run off them, they have two strikeouts, no walks.
- 54:47Speaker 1: They have a four to twenty nine average in one
- 54:49Speaker 1: eighty six oh ps against him, but it is a
- 54:51Speaker 1: small sample size so you have to kind of not
- 54:55Speaker 1: put too much weight into it. But Cleveland has been
- 54:57Speaker 1: able to hit him when they have seen him. Joey
- 54:59Speaker 1: Can't is pitching for Cleveland. He's been pitching pretty well recently.
- 55:02Speaker 1: He was a relief pitcher earlier in the season and
- 55:04Speaker 1: he's been in the starting rotation for a bit and
- 55:07Speaker 1: doing pretty well for Cleveland. Three point two one ERA
- 55:10Speaker 1: this year, one point three whip is still too high,
- 55:13Speaker 1: though indicates that maybe there should be some ra regression
- 55:16Speaker 1: in store there. Three point seven to two ERA at home,
- 55:19Speaker 1: so he is actually a little bit worse at home
- 55:22Speaker 1: this month. One point one six ERA, twenty to six
- 55:25Speaker 1: strike out walk ratio, so he has been pretty good
- 55:27Speaker 1: this month. Continuing to pitch pretty well here man up
- 55:31Speaker 1: against Texas, which is not the best offense here in
- 55:34Speaker 1: Texas has never faced him before, so Cantello does have
- 55:37Speaker 1: a little bit of an extra edge here the fact
- 55:39Speaker 1: that Texas has never faced him before. So I do
- 55:42Speaker 1: think Cleveland has the upper hand early in this game.
- 55:44Speaker 1: The money is coming in on Texas, though, for whatever reason,
- 55:48Speaker 1: Cleveland down for minus one fifty five one forty one.
- 55:50Speaker 1: I told you in some of these cases we have
- 55:52Speaker 1: teams that are like really rerillian must win scenarios here
- 55:55Speaker 1: for them, or really for the most part, those teams
- 55:58Speaker 1: tend to get overvalued a little, and I think that's
- 56:00Speaker 1: what we're seeing with the marketer. I think the professionals
- 56:03Speaker 1: are basically just saying we don't think Cleveland should be
- 56:05Speaker 1: this heavy of a favorite, even though maybe they will
- 56:07Speaker 1: win the game, but they're down to minus one forty
- 56:10Speaker 1: one now seventy eight percent of tickets, percent of the
- 56:12Speaker 1: tickets on Cleveland, fifty six percent of the cash coming
- 56:15Speaker 1: in back on the Texas side, I would probably lean
- 56:19Speaker 1: to Cleveland in the first five innings because Cantillo does
- 56:22Speaker 1: have the upper hand here as far as I think
- 56:24Speaker 1: he's in the better form right now. He goes a
- 56:25Speaker 1: little bit deeper into games. Texas has never seen it before.
- 56:28Speaker 1: You know how long lasts will last in this one.
- 56:31Speaker 1: So I think the biggest advantage for Cleveland is the
- 56:34Speaker 1: first five because Cleveland's bullpen is a little bit used
- 56:36Speaker 1: right now. So that's probably the way I would lean
- 56:38Speaker 1: in that game. You might have to go a run
- 56:40Speaker 1: line with it, though, which is a little bit difficult
- 56:42Speaker 1: to do with a team that can't score, although you'll
- 56:45Speaker 1: only asking him to be ahead by a run after
- 56:47Speaker 1: five innings if you go with the minus half run line.
- 56:51Speaker 1: Cincinnati Milwaukee. I was kind of considering it under in
- 56:55Speaker 1: this game. I decided not to do it. We did
- 56:56Speaker 1: get the underwright yesterday. Milwaukee took the loss. Yes today.
- 57:00Speaker 1: Cincinnati has more to play for all the Milwaukee probably
- 57:03Speaker 1: doesn't want Philly to overtake them for the one seed.
- 57:06Speaker 1: Milwaukee's been sitting with the one seed the best record
- 57:08Speaker 1: in all of baseball I think, basically most of the season,
- 57:11Speaker 1: so they I believe they want to hang on to that.
- 57:13Speaker 1: I believe they still have the best record in baseball
- 57:15Speaker 1: right I don't think any team in the AL has
- 57:18Speaker 1: overtaken them, not they can't, So it's gonna be between
- 57:20Speaker 1: Milwaukee and Philadelphia for that ho or. Milwaukee probably does
- 57:24Speaker 1: want to hang on to that at the very least.
- 57:27Speaker 1: But Cincinnati, they're one of the most motivated teams right
- 57:30Speaker 1: now because they're in They're tied for the last wildcard
- 57:33Speaker 1: spot with the Mets, and I don't know which team
- 57:36Speaker 1: has a tiebreaker. I actually don't even know where are
- 57:38Speaker 1: we looking here. Let's look at the wildcard standings here
- 57:41Speaker 1: and see Cincinnati has the tiebreaker against the Mets because
- 57:47Speaker 1: they're listed as being ahead of them right now. So
- 57:49Speaker 1: that's crazy. So Cincinnati, they do need to continue winning
- 57:53Speaker 1: though to hold on to it here. So there is
- 57:55Speaker 1: some pretty big motivation on Cincinnati side here, way more
- 57:58Speaker 1: than what Milwaukee has right now. So but you're probably
- 58:01Speaker 1: gonna pay a little bit for that. Milwaukee has the
- 58:04Speaker 1: better of the two bullpens. The only two relief pitchers yesterday,
- 58:08Speaker 1: including Myers is more of a long relief man, so
- 58:10Speaker 1: their bullpen's in pretty good shape. Cincinnati has four relief
- 58:13Speaker 1: pitchers yesterday, so Cincinnati's bullpen is not in as good
- 58:17Speaker 1: as shape here. So Milwaukee does have a bullpen edge here.
- 58:20Speaker 1: Milwaukee does have the better offense, although they're not as
- 58:22Speaker 1: good at home. They're going up against Andrew Abbott for Cincinnati,
- 58:26Speaker 1: and the Abbot's been really good this year. Two point
- 58:29Speaker 1: eight ERA, one point one to six whip. The thing
- 58:32Speaker 1: about him is he's surpassed the most innings pitch that
- 58:35Speaker 1: he's thrown in his entire career. He's up to one
- 58:37Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one innings now, so he's twenty three
- 58:40Speaker 1: innings above what is max was last year. So you
- 58:44Speaker 1: got to worry about him maybe wearing down a little
- 58:46Speaker 1: bit here. He's a little bit worse on the road
- 58:48Speaker 1: three point three to one road ERA this month, he's
- 58:51Speaker 1: he hasn't made it five innings and three of his
- 58:53Speaker 1: four outings this month, even though his numbers are still
- 58:55Speaker 1: good three point six eighty RA twenty to four strike
- 58:58Speaker 1: a walk ratio. He's allowed three or four earned runs
- 59:01Speaker 1: in his last three outings, but he's not going as
- 59:03Speaker 1: deepen in these outings. He's kind of struggling with his
- 59:05Speaker 1: pitch count. Even though he's not walking guys, he's allowing
- 59:08Speaker 1: a few too many hits right now, so he seems
- 59:10Speaker 1: to be maybe kind of taxed a little bit here
- 59:13Speaker 1: at the end of the season. Does have good numbers
- 59:15Speaker 1: generally against Milwaukee in one hundred and three at bats,
- 59:18Speaker 1: twenty nine to seven strike out walk racier two p
- 59:21Speaker 1: four average about five ninety four oh ps, so he
- 59:23Speaker 1: has done well against them for the most part, so
- 59:26Speaker 1: he might do well here. I mean, he's kind of
- 59:28Speaker 1: got to show up for this one man, because this
- 59:30Speaker 1: is basically the season on the line, So I mean,
- 59:33Speaker 1: I don't think he could afford to be, you know,
- 59:35Speaker 1: like wearing down here really at the end of the season.
- 59:37Speaker 1: But he also doesn't want to overwork himself, so it's
- 59:39Speaker 1: kind of a it's a little bit of a conundrum there.
- 59:42Speaker 1: He's going up against Robert Gasser, who did pretty well
- 59:46Speaker 1: last year was just his first season in the majors.
- 59:48Speaker 1: Last year, he wasn't really a strikeout guy, but he
- 59:51Speaker 1: only walked one guy in twenty eight innings last year.
- 59:53Speaker 1: He didn't put many guys on base, had pretty solid
- 59:56Speaker 1: numbers last year, so he is starting for the Brewers here.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: I made one appearance this year. It was against a
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: weak Saint Louis lineup, but he wasn't great. He went
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: three innings, allowed to earn runs, did allow a home run, though,
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: which was the only hit. He allowed two walks, two strikeouts,
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: so I mean, maybe he was just kind of getting
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: his bearings again. Gas are not a great name for
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: him though, because he doesn't actually throw gas It doesn't
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: throw like really hard or anything. But Cincinnati's actually never
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: faced him before, so gas Or might have a little
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: bit of an edge here with the fact that Cincinnati's
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: never faced him before. So even though I worry that
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: gas Er might not be really that good because he
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: doesn't blow guys away, I worry that Abbot's wearing down
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: a little bit. So those are kind of my hesitations
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: with this. But if that wasn't the case, I would
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: lean to an under in this game. The totals at
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: seven and a half heavily juice to the overs. He
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: might even be able to find an eight here. Maybe
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: I would go only first five innings on this though,
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: if you can find like an under four in the
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: first five innings. It looked like you had to pay
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: too much for the under four and a half, so
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: we will see, and the money is coming into Cincinnati. So,
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: by the way, if you want Cincinnati, I think it's
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: an okay to look for Cincinnati because of the motivational
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: disparity here in Milwaukee's down for fifty one thirty two,
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: so you are getting, in this case Cincinnati, the more
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: motivated team. You're getting them as an underdog, So that's
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: a decent sign. Seventy six percent tickets, ninety four percent
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: of the cash on them, so the money is coming
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: in towards Cincinnati, even though the public is kind of
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: on them as well. Here. I would go first five
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: innings though, because I really worry about Cincinnati's bullpen, So
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: if you want Cincinnati, I would do it when it's
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: just Avid in there. But Gaser might be able to
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: kind of duel him there, so I worry about that.
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: So I still think it under is probably the better
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: way to look in that game. Arizona at San Diego,
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: Arizona's kind of in like the dream Crusher spot because
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: they were that close to actually making a wildcard spot
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: even though they sold off of the trade deadline. Now
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: they're officially eliminated with their loss yesterday to San Diego,
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: so you might then be kind of a dead team
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: coming into this one in San Diego. They can't win
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: their division now, but I believe they can actually overtake
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: the Can they overtake the Cubs? Maybe they can't. San Diego,
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: Where are we at here? I wanted to look at
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: the well, I don't need to look at the wildcard
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: Sandys for this San Diego. Oh, actually, this is the wildcard.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: I guess we're looking at the This is the wildcard standings.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: One am I saying San Diego is two games behind
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: the Cubs, So I actually don't know. It depends on
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: who has the tie breaker here, So I don't know
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: if San Diego can change their position. Man, So they're
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: almost pretty much locked in. So you might be able
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: to argue that neither of these teams has that much
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: motivation here. San Diego has the better bullpen. They used
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: five relief pitchers yesterday, though Arizona used four, but they
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: have a significantly worse bullpen, so San Diego still has
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: a bullpen edge here Arizona has the better offense on
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: the surface, San Diego is the much better starting pitcher here.
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: Eduardo Rodriguez this picture for the d Backs. I mean,
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: he's shown signs of being his former self, trying to
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: come back from Tommy John and whatever, but he hasn't
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: been very good. Four point nine to one ERA, one
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: point five to six whip is way too high, four
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: point seven to four ERA on the road, a little
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: bit better on the road this month, he actually has
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: been a bit better though, two point three to one ERA,
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: seventeen to eight strike a walk ratio. It's still too
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: many walks, but he's actually thrown three shutouts in his
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: last five appearances, so he's actually pitching a little bit
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: better right now. The Dbacks have won five starts in
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: a row for him, but I don't know how motivated
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: they're going to be in this one. But he is
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: pitching well right now. His numbers are pretty good against
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: San Diego in ninety eight at bats, seventeen to nine,
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio, two forty five average allowed, six'
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: ninety six oh, ps so e rod might actually be
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: able to pitch well in this. One he's going up
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Against Michael, king who just came back from injury not
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: that long. Ago he's a solid. Pitcher his numbers of
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: this season are still pretty, good although it's been a
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: short season for, him three point five to SEVEN, era
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: one point two. Whip he is way better at home
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: two point five EIGHT era at. Home, again he hasn't
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: really pitched that much though he was. Injured he got
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: injured In, may and then he came back In august
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: and since then he's allowed two or fewer earned runs
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: in all but one of his, starts where he got
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: absolutely blown up by The. Mats other than, that he's
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: been fairly, good but still concerned that he walked four
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: guys last time out against The White sox even though
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: it was a five inning, shutout so he doesn't seem
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: like he's fully back and. Form yet his numbers are
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: good against the D backs though in twenty seven at
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: bats five to one strike a Wad uk. RATIO i
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: know it's A sam two. Ops so he has been
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: good Against. Arizona the money's coming in Towards Arizona San
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: diego's that might have won thirty five seventy percent of,
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: tickets only fifty two percent of the cash on, them
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: so the money is not agreeing with The San diego.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: SIDE i actually kind of see an argument for a
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: first five inning under here That erod is actually in
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: good form right now And king is pretty. Solid they
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: both actually have decent, matchup, remember so first five under
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: might make. Sense with the total dis low at seven
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: and a, half you're probably looking at a three and
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: a half, there and you, KNOW i don't love, that
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: so but that is probably the way THAT i would
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: look IF i was gonna play that game at. All
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: houston at Anim houston is the team that has the
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: most to play for here really because, basically if they,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: lose they're. Eliminated but that's a pressure, situation, man and
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: you know they're gonna be a favorite here even though
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: they're on the road Against. Anaheim SO i just don't
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: think you can lay a price like this With, houston,
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: man even though, yeah they need to. Win anaheim beat
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: them yesterday four to. Three houston not making the playoffs
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: would be crazy after they led the division for so.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: Long But, houston they're really not as good As seattle,
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: though So houston they do have a better offense Than,
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: anaheim though they have a much better bullpend Than anaheim.
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: Does houston used four relief pitchers, yesterday so Did. Anaheim
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: So houston does have a bullpen edge. Here the problem
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: with that is that aj blue balls listen as their,
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: starter AND i think they listened to him as a
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: starter the other, day and that he didn't actually. Start
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: so when you, do when you play these, games if
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: you do start and must, start the bet winds up
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: pushing if that starter doesn't actually. Start so it gets
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: a little bit disier when there's like an opener like
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: blue ball listed because he might not actually. Start, UGH
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: i think he probably will. Here he's Gonna he's not
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: gonna blue. Ball he blue balled you last, time, man
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: if you want, to if you wanted to play that.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: Game one point nine to three E R ra point
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: eight to two whip on the. Season he's got good
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: numbers this season two point two FIVE r in the,
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: road so he's a little bit worse on the. Road
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: he hasn't allowed to run this entire month with a
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: seventeen to four strike a walk ra here have fourteen. Innings.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: Uh but if he goes out, there he'll probably get,
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: you like somewhere. Between MAYBE i would guess he'll probably
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: go two to three innings in this, game assuming he
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: does start this, game and it's gonna depend on the
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: matchups and, whatever so we will see Against. Anaheim they
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: only have two at bats against him from their current,
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: lineup zero for two with a strikeout and no, walks
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: so they're not very familiar with. Them but he's not
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: gonna be in the game that, long So houston is
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: going to be using their bullpen. Here But anaeim's bullpen
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: might come into this game somewhat early, too Because caden
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: dana is their starter and he's really young. MAN i
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: think they kind of rushed him to The majors BECAUSE
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: i think he is pretty. Talented he's only twenty, one,
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: though and he struggled in The major so far six
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: point three to NINE, era one point sixty six, whip
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: eight point four to FOUR. Era at, homes he's been
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: really bad at. Home he's been a little bit better this.
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: MONTH i guess twenty two to twelve strike out walk right,
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: here though twelve walks is. Terrible that's really been the.
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: Issue like he's striking out a lot of, guys not
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: allowing really too many hits or. Anything so really it's
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: the walks or the. Issue he's putting too many guys
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: on base via the walks six point oh FIVE vra this.
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: Month so if he can get his command under, control,
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: literally he might start doing. Better. Here his numbers are
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: not batting Against. Houston they got twelve at bats against,
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: him only one extra mase, hit a double From, carotena two,
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: strikeouts no, walks two fifty batting average, allowed and five
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: eighty three. Ops So dana not really terrible Against. Houston,
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: interestingly so the money is actually coming in on The
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: anaheim side Here man ninety percent of the tickets and
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: only seventy one percent of the. Cash On. Houston they
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: were reminus one fifty, five favorite another down to minus one.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: Forty so the money Fading houston here because they're in
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: that must win spot and you're paying a price For.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: HOUSTON i, AGAIN i kind of agree with the professionals
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: in THAT i just think this price is totally. Unwarranted
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: it's all because everybody Knows houston has to win at this,
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: point but with blue ball on the, mound gonna be
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: a bullpen game, HERE i just don't think that price is.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: Justified SO i worry about, it, MAN i don't want
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: to Play anaheim either, though with the pitching that they
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: have going on, here it's very very. Ugly so IF
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: i was gonna play this, GAME i would probably play
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: an over the totals up from nine juice to the
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: under to just straight. NINE i, mean you get the
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: key number nine, there you can go over the number.
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: Nine don't want to go over the nine and a.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: Half BUT i could see both pitching staff struggle in this,
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: one SO i think it over is probably the better
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: way to look. There, yeah blue, balls and then we
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: do Have seattle IN. La although these teams have both
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: clinched their divisions at this, Point i'm pretty, sure so
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: they're both pretty much. Set they're not really playing for
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: anything right. Now The dodgers did get the win last.
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: NIGHT i was right about that. GAME i THINK i
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: said THAT i liked the under in that, game especially
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: the first five, innings WHICH i think was also probably.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: CORRECT i didn't look in to. Win the runs were scored,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: though and Then, seattle excusely The dodgers got the win
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: as well With Emmett shehan on the. Mound was a
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: three to two win and that ended the win streak For.
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: SEATTLE i Know seattle's really good at, home fifty one
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: to twenty eight at. Home, yeah the first five inning
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: unders still. Got there was a two to one game
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: at that point with The dodgers, winning But seattle lost
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: to win. Streak, man you KNOW i talk about. This
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: when a team loses a long win streak like, this
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: it could tend to hang them. OVER i know it
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: didn't happen the last TIME i lost a win, streak
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: WHICH i was on the game going Against seattle when
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: they lost that other win. STREAK i Had Kansas city
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: in that. GAME i leaned to The dodgers. Yesterday but,
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: again when you lose a game like that and then
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: this game doesn't really matter that, much losing the win,
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: streak it could hang you over a little. Bit so
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: might be a little bit of an edge for The
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: dodgers here this. Time The dodgers do not have the
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: better bullpen, here they do have the better. Offense The
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: dodgers use a ton of relief pitchers. Yesterday they use
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: six relievers yesterday And seattle only used. Four So seattle
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: does have a bullpen edge. Here so if you do
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: like The, dodgers you gotta go first five innings in this.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: One in my. Opinion both offenses are pretty, solid but
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: both starting pitchers are. Solid Tyler glasnow is pitching for The.
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: Dodgers he's had kind of a shortened season because of,
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: injury but he And snell are both Back Man glassnow And,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: snell Not Ian. Snell that's a Different, Snell Blake. Snell
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: it sounded LIKE i, Said Ian glasnow And snell are
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: both pitching pretty well up right, Now, Man so that's
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: really gonna bolster the Dodgers our rotation going into the playoffs,
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: Here so The dodgers are gonna be pretty, DANGEROUS i
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: think if those guys are. Healthy glasnow three point THREE,
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: era one point zero nine whip good. Stuff he isn't
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: as good on the road four point five SIX, era
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: but this is a pitcher froendly ballpark here this month
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: two point eight NINETY, ra twenty two. Strikeouts the only
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: concern really is the ten walks this, month although he's
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: won all three of his, starts but against bad Offenses
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: colorado And San. Francisco Against seattle he has decent numbers
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: against them. Too in thirty two at, bats ten, strikeouts two,
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: walks two fifty average six sixty nine oh. Ps so
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: he should be lined up to do pretty well in this.
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: GAME i would think if, he you, know has any
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: motivation at. All Logan gilbert pitching For. Seattle he's been
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: one of their more trustworthy, pitchers probably their second best
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: Behind wu three Point wu is gonna need to get healthy,
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: again by the, way Because wu got knocked out of
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: his last. GAME i think maybe with a concussion. SOMEHOW
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: i didn't see how that. Happened but for the mariners,
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: sake they're gonna Need wu. Back But gilbert has been
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: good three point four to THREE, era one point zero THREE.
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: Whip he is much better at home as they all
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: are For. Seattle two point one to three HOME era this,
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: month two point ONE era and twenty four to four
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: strikeout walk. Ratio he is definitely in good form right,
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: now pitching. Well The dodgers are a tough lineup to.
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: Face he's got fifty two at bats against some fifteen
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: to eight strike a walk ratio is not, good but
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: all eight walks Are, otani so that's pretty. Crazy Uh
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: so he is only one guy in the, lineup so
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: that makes that walk number look a little bit less.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: Bad he's allowed a two to fifty average to The
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: dodgers somewhat high eight thirty one ops though With otani
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: and Ta Oscar hernandez also having home runs off. Him uh,
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: Yeah i'm gonna slightly lean into The dodgers in this,
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: one but the money's coming in On. SEATTLE i would
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: only go first five inning with The, dodgers, Though seattle
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: up for minus one twenty to minus one twenty. Five
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: here sixty seven percent of tickets on The, dodgers fifty
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: seven percent of the cash coming in On, seattle. Though
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: but how often is it that you get The dodgers
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: With klasno on the mount as an underdog. Man you
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: almost never get, That so to, me it seems like
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: it is a little bit of value in the first
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: five innings at. Least so though you're probably getting a little
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: bit less of a good price going just the first five,
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: minutes because obviously the odds makers know The dodgers' bullpen
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: is not, good so money is coming in Towards. Seattle,
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: uh the under might be worth a looking this game as.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: Well ninety two percent tickets on the, over eighty four
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: percent of the cash on over the total just sitting
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: at seven dropping a little bit under doesn't make. Sense
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: but if you go under full, game you do have
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: to worry about The dodgers' bullpen and that could potentially
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: blow it. Up so you could go first five innings,
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: under but the problem with that, is of course you
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: have to go under a very low. Number so we'll.
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: See let's go to the best bets, here, man and
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: THESE i mean these are gonna be like there are
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: games nobody's gonna care, about so it's not very. Exciting
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: but you want to just try to find angles and
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: try to win, bets, man that's the. Thing so we
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: are gonna go first five innings under In pittsburgh And.
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: Atlanta and if you can find it under four to
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: get a better price on, THIS i would probably do
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: that because you could probably find it about even. Money
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: but the only number THAT i saw out, there because
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: the books are trying to screw, YOU i just saw
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: under four and a half at minus one twenty. FIVE
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: i would not really pay more than that for, this
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: BUT i still like the under in the first, five,
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: man SO i think it is worth a shot in this.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: ONE i don't love the bullpens, here so we're taking
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: the bullpens out of the. Equation they're both okay bullpens,
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: though so if you did want to go full game,
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: UNDER i wouldn't really beat you up over. It atlanta's
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: four relief pitchers, Yesterday pittsburgh also. Four they've kind of
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: used a lot of their bullpen recently, though SO i
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: just don't trust the bullpens enough to really include them.
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: Here atlanta's nineteenth and bullpenny Ra pittsburgh is actually not
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: bad at, thirteen but STILL i just don't want to
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: deal with, it so we will go only in the
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: first five innings. HERE i like to starting pitching matchic
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: WHERE i think is where this is where the low
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: scoring at nature of this game is gonna. Come pittsburgh
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: is a terrible. Offense atlanta fairly weak offense right now as,
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: well even THOUGH i know they got some of their guys,
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: Back BUT i think the pitching is gonna win out.
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: Here Bubba chandler is pitching For. Pittsburgh he was a
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: reliever for a, bit but he's a talented young pitcher
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: man From. Georgia so you, know these Young georgian pitchers
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: are pretty. Good, man not the country Of, georgia the.
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: State he's got a four point five SIX, era so
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: the public is gonna look at that and not love,
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: That but a point nine to seven whip tells a different. Story.
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: Man he's not putting a lot of guys on. BASIS
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: era should be much better than, this and he's been
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: really good on the road with a point NINE era
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: on the. Road he was in the bullpen for a.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: Bit he hasn't made too many appearances. Yet he has
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: an overall twenty five to four strike a walk, ratio
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: which is very impressive for a young pitcher like. Him
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: good command numbers, there a fewer, hits the innings. Pitch
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: all of that is. Good he got blown up in
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: one starting against Milwauke in if you throw that, out
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: he's allowed three or fewer earned runs and all of
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: his other starts and he's allowed one or zero in
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: four of his six, starts zero in three of, them
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: so that's a pretty good. Sign he is pitching well this.
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: Month he has a nineteen to three strike a walk,
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: ratio so HIS ra is only blown up to six
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: point six two because of that one bad start Against,
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: milwaukee and he's been good. Otherwise coming off two straight
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: out he's going at least five innings in each of.
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: Them allowing two or fewer hits and one or few
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: were running both of. Them no walks in thirteen strikeouts
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: in that span against The a's or a pretty good
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: lineup In washington who. Aren't but he's pitching well right.
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: Now he's a solid young pitcher man And, ATLANTA i
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: mean that makes that makes it sound like he has a,
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: bone or maybe he, DOES i don't. Know he gets
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: to Phase atlanta here, though And atlanta has never seen him.
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: Before SO i talk about this. AGAIN i was on
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: and under in his last, game, man and that worked
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: out for us against The. A'S i think it was
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: a first five, under h it was a. Winner we're
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: doing a pretty similar thing, here, man because again he's
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: he's phasing a lineup that's not as good as The a's,
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: lineup and this is another lineup that's never seen him.
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: Before so he has this extra. Edgury he's unfamiliar to
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: the opposing, hitters so that should give him an extra edge.
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: Here he's going up Against Spencer, strider who is trying
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: to overcome some. Injuries. MAN i think he Had Tommy
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: john surgery as. Well everybody's getting. It his numbers are
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: not that. Good this year four point four or Five
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: yarra one point three EIGHT. Whip he's dealt with some injuries,
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: whatever trying to come back from that major injury that he.
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: Had he used to be really good picture, Though he's
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: still got it in, HIM i think. Somewhere and he's
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: facing the worst lineup in baseball, here SO i think
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: that will help. HIM i think he wants to finish
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: the season on a strong. Note. MAN i, mean he's
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: a guy that's not used to pitching as poorly as
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: he has, been SO i do think that's gonna be
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: the case for him. HERE i know he's a little
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: bit worse at. Home four point Six oneyra is still
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: not too bad, though but he's been better this month
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: two point three FIVE. Era that's pretty. Good he's allowed
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: three or fewer earned runs in five straight. Outings. Now
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: his walk number is really the only, concern although he
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: does tend to be a little bit wild even when
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: he's on twenty one strikeouts this month eleven, walks so
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: his strikeout rate it has increased because he only had
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: one strikeout in his first start of the, month but
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: since then he's had six or more in the last three.
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: Starts that's a good. Sign the walk number is. HIGH
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: i know he needs to get that a little bit under,
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: control But pittsburgh is not exactly an offense that can
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: really they could really take advantage of it to a full.
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: Extent and he's done well against. HIM i know it's
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: only nineteen at, Bats he's only allowed one extra base
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: hit to, them a double from A, cutch and he
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: has ten strikeouts. Against this is a really high strikeout,
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: rate even THOUGH i know it's a small. Sample two,
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: walks two eleven batting average, allowed and five forty nine,
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: ohps so he has been good Against pittsburgh in. General
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: SO i think we can go with. This will go
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: under in the first five innings In Pirates. Braves the
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: money seems to be agreeing with, this with fifty percent
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: of tickets on the under but ninety eight percent of
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: the cash on the. Under the total dropped a little
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: bit on the full game from eight and a half
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: down to, eight SO i think it makes. Sense atlanta's
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: a big favorite for what it's, worth down for minus
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: one eighty to minus one sixty, nine eighty nine percent
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: of the tickets ninety eight percent of the cash on.
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: Them BUT i don't want to do anything with the side, here,
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: man we're gonna go UNDER i, mean if you do
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: anything with the, SIDE i Think pittsburgh first five. Innings,
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: actually potentially we're the look BECAUSE i do like the
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: way That chandler's, pitch and if he can Duel strider
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: and you can get like a plus half run, line
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: you might be able to Get there might be some
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: value in that. TOO i wouldn't want to do anything
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: with the bullpens, though but under as, How i'm gonna go.
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: There and then to finish it, off we're gonna go
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: with The a's in the first five innings on the
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: money line minus one twenty uh, so of, course if
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: it's tied at that, point you will get a. PUSH
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: i know they're public eighty six percent of, tickets but
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the cash coming in on, them
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: SO i think the money is coming into The. A'S
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: i just don't understand The a's being that. PUBLIC i
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: think it must just be because they're hitting is better
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Than Kansas, city's and it certainly. Is but we're taking
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: the bullpens out of the equation BECAUSE i don't want
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: to deal with The a's. Bullpen, obviously The Kansas city
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: bullpen is a lot better than The a's, bullpen so
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: we're gonna not include the. Bullpens The a's are at least,
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: rested BUT i don't want to deal with it. Anyway
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: they only use two relief pitchers Yesterday Kansas city used,
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: four But Kansas city is still the better, bullpen so
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: we won't deal with. That will go just with the
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: starting pitching matchup. HERE i know you have to pay
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: a little more of a price than you do in
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: the full. Game of, course the odds makers know that
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: The a's have a bigger advantage in the starting pitching
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: matchup than the full game with their atrocious. Bullpens we're
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: just gonna go first five. Here The a's are able
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: to get the win yesterday Against Kansas. City Kansas city is.
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: Eliminated The a's seem to be playing with a little
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: bit more motivation at this Point, Man Kansas city having
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: been more recently. ELIMINATED i think they're just kind of
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: playing out the, stretch maybe a little bit more than
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: The a's are. Here this is a difficult environment for
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: some road teams to play In, man it can affect
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: some of these pitchers here on the road that aren't
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: used to pitching in an environment like, this especially pitchers
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: that thrive in a pitcher friendly park Like Kansas, city
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: they might not do as well on the road against The.
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: A's And i'm going to apply that To Michael walk
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: here for The. Royals even though he's had a pretty
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: good season FOR era and one point two to four
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: whip not. Bad he's a, VETERAN i, mean he knows
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: what he's, doing but he's been a little bit worse
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: on the road four point zero FOUR. Era he's been
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: better at home all, season but he's in really bad
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: form right. Now he has a nine point four or
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: FIVE ra this. Month he got absolutely beaten up By
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: toronto And seat on his last two out and he's
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: both at. Home so that's not a good sign either
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: because that's a pitch friendly. Park you give up thirteen
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: or in runs over that, span not. Good he's made
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: it no longer than five or two thirds innings in
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: any of his last four. Outings he's gotten out of. Form,
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: man it seems like maybe he's kind of just packing
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: it in for the rest of the. Season you're a
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: nine to three strike at walk ratio this, month isn't that.
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: Bad he's not really a strikeout, pitcher but he's getting knocked.
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: Around he's given up twenty one hits in thirteen to
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: third innings this, month and he's allowed more than one
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: run per, inning AS i mentioned with THE, era so
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: that's pretty Bad against The. A's it's a very small
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: sample size of. Nineteen they've been able to do some
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: damage against, him though three, strikeouts two walks three sixteen
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: average seven to forty nine oh ps isn't exactly. High
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: they haven't really gotten to him for, power but this
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: is a lineup that can. HIT i think he might
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: struggle to it after this. Environment he's in bad form
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: right now in THE ace have at least seen him,
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: before So i'm gonna give the edge To Luis. MORALES
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: i think he's still flying under the radar for The.
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: A's he's been a solid pitcher man since since pitching
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: for The, a's WHICH i think this is his first
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: season in the three point oh SEVENTY ra one point
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: one to one whip for. Him he's made eight starts
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: in one relief. APPEARANCE i know he's been a little
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: bit worse this. Month five point oh SIXTY ra sixteen
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: to six strike a walk, ratio SO i do worry
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: about that a little, Bit but, really he had one
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: bad start against The Red, sox and other than that
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: he's been pretty. Solid he's allowed three or fewer earned
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: runs and all the rest of his outings he's allowed
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: two or fewer earned runs in all but those two
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: outings against The Red sox In, cincinnati WHICH i know
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: we're both recent this, month but he did bounce back
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: Against pittsburgh last time out to earn runs allowed in six,
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: Innings and of course he's facing a Weak Kansas city
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: line up. Here The a's have the way better, offense
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: so that should kind of help us out through this
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: stretch as. Well here he's, made, however many starts to.
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: Says in nine starts, again he's allowed two or fewer
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: earn runs and seven of them overall thirty eight to
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: sixteen strike a walk. Racio, again the walks are a
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: little bit of an, issue but he's allowed way fewer
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: hits the innings. Pitch he is pitching pretty, well and
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: of Course Kansas city has never faced, him so that's
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: kind of the crux of. This he has an unfamiliarity
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: edge here in this pitching matchup as. WELL i think
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: you should be able to do well against this. Lineup
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: they might struggle to figure him out the first couple
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: of times they faced. Him so we will go with
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: The a's in the first five innings in this, game
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: and that is going to be it for me. Today.
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: Man so once, again the baseball players are the first
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: five under In Pirates. BRAVES i know it's not exciting
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: to be on these, games but you look for where
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: you think you find an edge man and The a's
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: first five money, line so they're both first. Five they're
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: both night games and my college football go watch The
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: College football show from last night to get the, analysis
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: or watch My instagram videos and you'll get most of
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: the analysis there as. WELL i think the analysis is
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: a little bit more detailed on my really really long
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: ass show, though AND i put the chapters in so
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: if you want just the analysis on the best, bets
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: you can go to the. End but if you, watch
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: like a little bit before the, END i gave out
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: some of the stronger leans AND i start the. Show
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: if you guys watch the, show you know WHAT i do.
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: IT i start the show with all like the bigger.
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: Matchups so if you want to hear my opinions on.
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: Those it's all in that, show so go check it.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: OUT i know the game's starting less than an hour, now,
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: though but we Got Kansas state minus five and a.
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: HALF i know these all look, horrendous like the public
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: is not going to agree with any of my, plays
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: but that's HOW i like. It, Man iowa plus eight
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: and a, Half Oklahoma state plus twenty one. Again hopefully
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: you can get the twenty one on. THIS i think
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: probably you should be able to because the public is
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: on the other side of, it so get the best
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: number that you. CAN i would still probably even do
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: it at twenty and a, half though once you get
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: up into the, twenties the key numbers matter a little bit.
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: Less and Then Florida. Atlanta hopefully you can get the
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: best number on that plus, fourteen WHICH i think you
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: should be able to get that one pretty easily as,
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: Well so public against that one. Too learn a tone On,
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: Twitter learn it tone On. Instagram check it all Out,
