- 0:01Speaker 1: Yep.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Inside, I want to kill myself. We're on Own seven
- 0:07Speaker 2: run over the last two days after tonight.
- 0:09Speaker 1: It was just complete bullshit. So that's that's I'm gonna
- 0:12Speaker 1: start off.
- 0:12Speaker 2: This show horrible Sunday one and five. I don't even
- 0:16Speaker 2: know what to tell you above that.
- 0:18Speaker 1: I just don't want to do this anymore.
- 0:20Speaker 2: I have never seen anything like this. Man, with the
- 0:23Speaker 2: slump continuing, two straight losses, not.
- 0:26Speaker 1: A good day at all. Own four, I have not
- 0:31Speaker 1: had a good season.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Man, with bookends the slump that I'm on, and the
- 0:36Speaker 2: slump continues.
- 0:37Speaker 1: I've reached into pink. Actually, I'm gonna burn my broins hat. Man,
- 0:43Speaker 1: I don't know what is going on with the bruins
- 0:45Speaker 1: arch hape? Is that what it is?
- 0:47Speaker 2: I don't even know it's It's March ninth, I think
- 0:50Speaker 2: who even knows?
- 0:51Speaker 1: Man, I don't know what day it is anymore. I
- 0:54Speaker 1: don't even know what day it is anymore. Man, back
- 0:56Speaker 1: with you after the worst day that I.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Can possibly have, I'm back with you as I always am.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Until I die. At least oh and two. Yesterday and
- 1:06Speaker 1: yesterday it did not go well for me.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Own five, the worst month that I've ever had in
- 1:12Speaker 2: my eighteen years doing this.
- 1:14Speaker 1: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:16Speaker 2: To the slump, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I don't even know what I should do at this
- 1:26Speaker 2: point other than potentially end it all.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Uh, playoffs. Don't talk about playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs?
- 1:39Speaker 1: I just hope we can win a game, another game.
- 1:44Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? It's towed back with you with Toadstool Sports.
- 1:48Speaker 1: It is Tuesday.
- 1:51Speaker 2: I don't even know what day it is, man h
- 1:54Speaker 2: April fourteenth. The hot streak, you know, continues ten ten
- 2:01Speaker 2: day streak here where we have nine winning days out
- 2:04Speaker 2: of the ten and the other day was a pass.
- 2:06Speaker 2: So you know, the streak cannot continue like this. But
- 2:10Speaker 2: we are on a twenty and seven run right now
- 2:13Speaker 2: on the show. So tell your friends, tell your lovers.
- 2:17Speaker 2: You know, yesterday it did go pretty well. I was
- 2:21Speaker 2: hoping for the sweep yesterday, but the late game let
- 2:24Speaker 2: us down big time.
- 2:26Speaker 1: We did get the win.
- 2:27Speaker 2: The first game that finished was the Sharks. They got
- 2:30Speaker 2: the win. They're winning the majority of the game, I
- 2:34Speaker 2: would say, I mean they had a tune to nothing lead,
- 2:36Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure in that game, and they let that slip.
- 2:39Speaker 2: They made it three to one, let that slip really
- 2:42Speaker 2: late in the game, and then all of a sudden,
- 2:43Speaker 2: I think it was three to two. Oh crap. But
- 2:45Speaker 2: it was like the final minute of the game. So
- 2:47Speaker 2: they were able to finish it off with the win.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Texas Rangers, easy win with that situational spot there. We
- 2:54Speaker 2: got the good start out of Eavaldi.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure.
- 2:56Speaker 2: I don't know, I haven't looked at the box score yet,
- 2:58Speaker 2: but Texas Rangers with the win there in that one,
- 3:02Speaker 2: and Winnipeg was the loser. Winnipeg did not get there
- 3:06Speaker 2: as they lost. I got dude, I have to check
- 3:09Speaker 2: like some of these box scores real real quick, because
- 3:11Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, you have all they did pitch well
- 3:13Speaker 2: in the game. It looks like I'm gonna look more
- 3:15Speaker 2: into it later, but yeah, we got the win with
- 3:18Speaker 2: that one. And then Winnipeg, Yeah, they blew it big time. Well,
- 3:21Speaker 2: it didn't blow it, they just had a horrible game.
- 3:23Speaker 2: They got completely outplayed.
- 3:24Speaker 1: In the game.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I was kind of shocked by that. Like their shot
- 3:29Speaker 2: total got doubled by Vegas. Vegas showed up man, I
- 3:32Speaker 2: mean Vegas. I didn't think the plan for seeding was
- 3:36Speaker 2: as important, but Vegas showed up for it, and yeah,
- 3:40Speaker 2: there's nothing you can really do about that.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Move on to today.
- 3:43Speaker 2: We're gonna have three baseball plays, and I'm gonna give
- 3:46Speaker 2: out a play in the NBA play ins as well.
- 3:48Speaker 1: There is hockey today, but.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Really difficult to get handicap these last couple of days
- 3:54Speaker 2: of hockey, Like there's not a ton of motivation evolved
- 3:57Speaker 2: for the most part. So I am passing on that.
- 4:01Speaker 2: And it's gonna be really on brand today with how
- 4:04Speaker 2: ugly some of these baseball plays are. So that's what
- 4:07Speaker 2: we're gonna do. Let's get into it. I think we
- 4:09Speaker 2: have no afternoon action here today for any of the sports,
- 4:13Speaker 2: starting with baseball. Actually, let me make sure it's hockey
- 4:16Speaker 2: afternoon not it is not. Everything's in the evening. Baseball,
- 4:20Speaker 2: we have some earlier evening action, if you want to
- 4:23Speaker 2: call it that.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Arizona and Baltimore.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Baltimore, by the way, I believe they wound up with
- 4:28Speaker 2: Dean Kreamer making his first start of the season, and
- 4:32Speaker 2: I did recommend Baltimore as a lean in that game,
- 4:35Speaker 2: and they did wind up winning, But I don't know.
- 4:38Speaker 2: If I had known the Creamer would have been the starter,
- 4:40Speaker 2: I would have been less bullish on Baltimore problem. You
- 4:43Speaker 2: know me, if you watch my show, it's because I'm
- 4:45Speaker 2: an anti Semite man. That's why I don't like Dean Creamer. No,
- 4:50Speaker 2: I don't think he's a very good pitcher. And that
- 4:53Speaker 2: game was very high scoring, so there was that Baltimore
- 4:56Speaker 2: did escape with a high scoring.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Win last night.
- 5:00Speaker 2: That I trust either of these bullpens that are in
- 5:03Speaker 2: action here in this game. Arizona used only two relievers yesterday,
- 5:07Speaker 2: though Baltimore used three. Still don't know that I would
- 5:11Speaker 2: prefer the Arizona bullpen. I don't think I do, even
- 5:14Speaker 2: though they're eleventh in Whip right now, they're eras horrendous.
- 5:19Speaker 2: I don't buy Arizona's bullpen. I think they're bad. The
- 5:23Speaker 2: Orioles bullpen has actually been better than that anyway, so
- 5:27Speaker 2: I'll give the Orioles the bullpen edge. Still, as far
- 5:30Speaker 2: as the hitting is concerned in this game, the Orioles
- 5:33Speaker 2: have actually hit well so far this year. There's sixth
- 5:35Speaker 2: in ops offensively, So the Diamondbacks, you think that they'd
- 5:41Speaker 2: be better than they are. They have a pretty decent lineup,
- 5:43Speaker 2: but they're twenty third right now. So the Orioles seem
- 5:46Speaker 2: to have a lot of edges with the way things
- 5:48Speaker 2: are going right now, and I think they probably have
- 5:50Speaker 2: the edge in the starting pitching matchup here too hard
- 5:54Speaker 2: to gauge.
- 5:54Speaker 1: So Merrill Kelly is pitching for Arizona.
- 5:57Speaker 2: He's making his season debut, and he's back with his
- 6:00Speaker 2: former team, which is kind of interesting because he spent
- 6:03Speaker 2: his entire career on Arizona until last year.
- 6:07Speaker 1: I believe he was traded in the middle of the year.
- 6:11Speaker 1: I want to say, am I right about there? Did
- 6:12Speaker 1: he get traded back to Arizona at the end of
- 6:14Speaker 1: the year?
- 6:14Speaker 2: I forget, but I know he was on Texas and
- 6:17Speaker 2: he did alright with Texas, But now he's back on Arizona,
- 6:20Speaker 2: which is a less friendly pitching environment. However, now he's
- 6:23Speaker 2: pitching in Baltimore and he's making his first start of
- 6:26Speaker 2: the season, and I could see it going both ways
- 6:29Speaker 2: because Merril Kelly is a veteran and veterans they're used
- 6:33Speaker 2: to this type of thing, and a lot of times
- 6:35Speaker 2: they will step up and get out.
- 6:36Speaker 1: There and give you a good performance.
- 6:37Speaker 2: When they're coming back off of an injury or whatever
- 6:41Speaker 2: the case might be. But then again, he hasn't made
- 6:44Speaker 2: a start yet this season, and he's going up against.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Rogers, who Trevor Rodgers.
- 6:48Speaker 2: I keep calling him Tie by accident, and Tie is
- 6:50Speaker 2: a different player who might not be in the league anymore.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Trevor Rodgers does have games under his belt this season already,
- 6:57Speaker 2: so that might be an advantage to him because he's
- 6:59Speaker 2: already off and running, and sometimes that first start can
- 7:02Speaker 2: be a little bit questionable, so it's difficult to really
- 7:06Speaker 2: want to put your money on Kelly here, although I
- 7:08Speaker 2: Am actually going to be playing on a pitcher making
- 7:11Speaker 2: his first start today, so you know, maybe I'm being hypocritical,
- 7:17Speaker 2: but yes, Merril, Kelly is coming back from injury.
- 7:20Speaker 1: He is an older.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Guy at this point, but he's been pretty good throughout
- 7:23Speaker 2: his career. Even when he was on Arizona, he was
- 7:25Speaker 2: posting pretty good numbers overall, good career numbers, And yes,
- 7:29Speaker 2: I was right. He was on Arizona last year. Then
- 7:32Speaker 2: he got traded and he spent the remainder of the
- 7:34Speaker 2: season with Texas and actually wasn't quite as good, which
- 7:37Speaker 2: kind of surprises me. But again, Overall, he's a pretty
- 7:40Speaker 2: solid pitcher, dude, and I don't know there's any reason
- 7:43Speaker 2: to expect any different, although, of course, when you're up
- 7:46Speaker 2: there in age, that drop off can be pretty immediate,
- 7:50Speaker 2: so that remains to be seen. But he has not
- 7:52Speaker 2: pitched yet this year. He's going up against Baltimore. Like
- 7:57Speaker 2: I said, his numbers are good against them. In his career,
- 8:00Speaker 2: only six of their batters have ever faced them, and
- 8:02Speaker 2: they're only five for thirty three off him, although three
- 8:06Speaker 2: of those hits are home runs, all five hits are
- 8:09Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo, so literally nobody else in Baltimore's offense has
- 8:14Speaker 2: had a hit off of him. He's got tense right gouts,
- 8:16Speaker 2: one walk against them, one fifty two average allowed, six
- 8:20Speaker 2: thirty one ohps allowed. He does have good numbers against them.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Trevor Rodgers, though, has been really good this year so far.
- 8:27Speaker 2: One point eight to ninety RA, one point zero five whip.
- 8:31Speaker 2: I questioned him last year when he came back up
- 8:33Speaker 2: from injury or whatever it was started pitching for Baltimore.
- 8:36Speaker 2: I was like, what did Baltimore seeing this guy?
- 8:39Speaker 1: Now?
- 8:39Speaker 2: I guess we know, because he was really good last
- 8:41Speaker 2: year for Baltimore He's picked up right where he left
- 8:44Speaker 2: off too.
- 8:45Speaker 1: He was really good at home as well.
- 8:47Speaker 2: I guess the one caveat you can see here is
- 8:49Speaker 2: that he hasn't faced any really good offenses yet this year.
- 8:51Speaker 2: But I mean, Minnesota and Texas are hitting alright sort
- 8:55Speaker 2: of this year still, I don't know, he hasn't faced
- 8:59Speaker 2: like a gaunt yet, let's say, but Arizona hasn't really
- 9:02Speaker 2: been hitting well either.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Overall, I mean, Rogers has been good. His strikeout rate.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Is not as high as you'd probably want it to
- 9:07Speaker 2: be at fourteen, but only five walks at fifteen hits
- 9:11Speaker 2: a lot in nineteen inninges.
- 9:12Speaker 1: That's not too bad.
- 9:13Speaker 2: The walk number is a little bit high against Arizona,
- 9:16Speaker 2: He's done well in the past.
- 9:17Speaker 1: They only have several hitters who have ever seen him.
- 9:20Speaker 2: They're only four for thirty three, often with one extra
- 9:22Speaker 2: base hit a Marte double, seven strikeouts, no walks, one
- 9:27Speaker 2: twenty one average overall two seventy three ops. My lean
- 9:31Speaker 2: in this game is going to be the under. Probably
- 9:35Speaker 2: not surprising there. I don't have it on my card.
- 9:37Speaker 2: The total where we're looking at here, I was looking
- 9:40Speaker 2: at the I was looking at Mitch Keller not Merrill Kelly. Yeah,
- 9:43Speaker 2: the it is the total actually flip to eight and
- 9:46Speaker 2: half juice to the over. You might actually be able
- 9:48Speaker 2: to find a nine on this. But yeah, my lean
- 9:50Speaker 2: would be under. Although then again, I don't like the
- 9:53Speaker 2: Arizona bullpen, so I don't know if I love Baltimore's
- 9:57Speaker 2: bullpen either. Under first five innings, this kind of makes
- 10:00Speaker 2: sense to me in this game as well, if you
- 10:01Speaker 2: wanted to do it that way, just focus on the
- 10:03Speaker 2: starting pitching here. The money is coming in on Baltimore,
- 10:06Speaker 2: for what that's worth. On the side there at Mights
- 10:09Speaker 2: won forty three now eighty six percent of the tickets,
- 10:11Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of the cash on Baltimore. Baltimore did win,
- 10:15Speaker 2: like I said yesterday, nine to seven. Don't know if
- 10:17Speaker 2: there's really any zig zag opportunity there. I think the
- 10:20Speaker 2: zigzag is really less of a thing in baseball anyway.
- 10:23Speaker 2: But the money is coming in on Baltimore. I'm not
- 10:26Speaker 2: gonna disagree. I mean, I think Baltimore has the better bullpen,
- 10:29Speaker 2: and probably as a starting pitching edge with the pitcher
- 10:32Speaker 2: that's already pitched multiple times this year versus a guy
- 10:36Speaker 2: coming in cold, you know. So I don't disagree with
- 10:37Speaker 2: Baltimore there. Maybe Baltimore is still the better approach in
- 10:41Speaker 2: that game, but I'd lean Baltimore and first five inning
- 10:44Speaker 2: under in that game, but not one that I love.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Cubs at Philadelphia.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Philadelphia got the win yesterday and a blowout thirteen to seven.
- 10:54Speaker 2: You would think that maybe that means the Cubs are
- 10:56Speaker 2: gonna have a bounce back opportunity here because the Cubs
- 10:59Speaker 2: are this bad bullpen wise. The Cubs only used two
- 11:03Speaker 2: relievers yesterday. Philadelphia used two as well. Philadelphia's bullpen has
- 11:08Speaker 2: actually pitched well so far this year.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Believe it or not. They weren't that good last year.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Their era doesn't look that good, but Whip is third,
- 11:16Speaker 2: so their bullpend has been good and it's been better
- 11:18Speaker 2: than the Cubs. All of the Cubs haven't been terrible
- 11:21Speaker 2: in the bullpen department. They're middle of the pack right now.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Phillies have been the better offense. The Cubs have just
- 11:27Speaker 2: really struggled. Neither offense has really totally lived up to.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I think what they should be so far. We know
- 11:35Speaker 1: there were good hitters.
- 11:36Speaker 2: In both these lineups, but they're both kind of middle
- 11:38Speaker 2: of the pack offenses with Philadelphia eleventh Cubs nineteenth in
- 11:42Speaker 2: ops right now, I'll give Philadelphia an offensive edge anyway,
- 11:46Speaker 2: though I think at full strength, I do actually think
- 11:48Speaker 2: they do have the somewhat better offense here. Starting pitching,
- 11:54Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with Chicago.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Man. They're using Riley.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Martin, who is a twenty eight year rolled relief pitcher
- 12:02Speaker 2: who has only made three appearances in his major league career,
- 12:05Speaker 2: all this year and all out of the bullpen, so
- 12:08Speaker 2: it looks like he's gonna be the opener and actually
- 12:11Speaker 2: he might not even be actually be starting.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Let me see what's going on here, all right?
- 12:16Speaker 2: Well, pregame has Colin Ray listed as the starter here,
- 12:19Speaker 2: which maybe makes more sense, but you might get Riley
- 12:22Speaker 2: Martin opening for him. And I wouldn't really even bother
- 12:25Speaker 2: handicapping Martin really because he's probably gonna go one inning in.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Front of Ray if that's the case.
- 12:31Speaker 2: But keep that in mind that they might use Martin
- 12:34Speaker 2: as an opener in front of Ray here, and if
- 12:37Speaker 2: they do that, if you want to handicap it as
- 12:40Speaker 2: if Ray is the starter, because he's probably gonna give
- 12:42Speaker 2: you more innings there, but you're not sure if they're
- 12:44Speaker 2: gonna use that opener in front of him or not.
- 12:46Speaker 2: You want to go action on this bet, you know
- 12:49Speaker 2: what I mean, which means that it'll count regardless of
- 12:51Speaker 2: who actually starts, Whereas the default bet is usually the
- 12:56Speaker 2: starting pitchers listed must start, and usually I prefer that,
- 12:59Speaker 2: But in this game, I would say, you want to
- 13:03Speaker 2: go action on it, just because I don't think it
- 13:05Speaker 2: changes the handicap that much of Martin is in there
- 13:08Speaker 2: for one inning in front of Ray.
- 13:11Speaker 1: We're gonna handicap this.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Basically like Ray is gonna be the starter here, I
- 13:14Speaker 2: assume he's gonna give you more innings. He's been pretty
- 13:17Speaker 2: good so far this year three point one adra and one.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Point one five whip.
- 13:21Speaker 2: You know, I'm not really a huge Ray fan, although
- 13:23Speaker 2: he does have ten strikeouts and eleven and a third
- 13:25Speaker 2: innings so far this season. Three walks pretty good numbers
- 13:29Speaker 2: so far. Has only gone five innings in one of
- 13:32Speaker 2: his outings so far. I think his other two outings
- 13:33Speaker 2: are out of the bullpen, and then he had to
- 13:35Speaker 2: replace the injured Kate Horton in the.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Starting rotation here.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Ray He's been pretty decent against Philadelphia as well in
- 13:44Speaker 2: the past. In eighty six at bats, twenty to three
- 13:47Speaker 2: strikeout walk ratios. His command numbers are good against them,
- 13:50Speaker 2: two forty four average allowed, six to sixty five ohps.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Not bad numbers there for Colin Ray, so I think
- 13:59Speaker 2: he could do ok in this game.
- 14:00Speaker 1: He is going up against.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Aaron Nola, who looks like he might be back from
- 14:05Speaker 2: coming back from injury or whatever.
- 14:07Speaker 1: He's been good so far this season.
- 14:09Speaker 2: He looked pretty good at the end of last year,
- 14:11Speaker 2: started turning things around. He's got a three point six
- 14:14Speaker 2: three ERA and one point one whip so far this year.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Those are good numbers.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Nineteen to four strike at walk ratio and fifteen hits
- 14:21Speaker 2: allowed in seventeen to third innings. That's pretty good so
- 14:24Speaker 2: far as well. He's he just remains in good form
- 14:29Speaker 2: right now. He's pitched well this season. Good numbers against
- 14:31Speaker 2: the Cubs as well. In a large one hundred and
- 14:33Speaker 2: eighty six at bat sample size, a few of their
- 14:36Speaker 2: hitters have faced him quite a bit. Fifty two to
- 14:38Speaker 2: fourteen strike a walk ratio that's actually not too bad either,
- 14:43Speaker 2: even though it kind of looks like a lot of walks,
- 14:45Speaker 2: but it's a lot of strikeouts too. One ninety nine
- 14:47Speaker 2: average allowed five ninety nine OPS. That is a really
- 14:50Speaker 2: low batting average, pretty low ops as well. Nola has
- 14:53Speaker 2: done well here. I think Philadelphia has the advantages in
- 14:58Speaker 2: this game.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Man.
- 15:00Speaker 2: They've had the better bullpen pitching so far. They're hitting
- 15:03Speaker 2: has been a bit better. I think they probably have
- 15:05Speaker 2: the starting pitching edge. They're at minus one thirty eight
- 15:09Speaker 2: after dropping for minus one fifty, but eighty one percent
- 15:12Speaker 2: of tickets ninety five percent of the cash on the Phillies.
- 15:14Speaker 2: I'm gonna lean Phillies in this one. I know, on
- 15:18Speaker 2: the sort, like you know, based on like situational handicapping,
- 15:21Speaker 2: I should say it looks like the Cubs should bounce
- 15:23Speaker 2: back here. I'm not so sure that's gonna be the case.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Don't really know if I trust Ray either, So I
- 15:29Speaker 2: think that would be my opinion in that game, but
- 15:31Speaker 2: not a strong one.
- 15:33Speaker 1: This next game will be a play for me. This one.
- 15:37Speaker 1: I bounce back and forth.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Dude, I'm gonna give you all my opinions in these
- 15:40Speaker 2: games and try to tell you which ones I thought
- 15:42Speaker 2: were more strong, and this one I decided to put
- 15:46Speaker 2: on my card. Hopefully it's gonna get there. We'll see, man,
- 15:50Speaker 2: I think there might be some advantages to this. We're
- 15:53Speaker 2: gonna go under in Kansas City and Detroit here, and
- 15:56Speaker 2: I know Kansas City's bullpen has been bad this year,
- 15:59Speaker 2: so we're gonna have to dodge that, and I know
- 16:00Speaker 2: we're going full game on this.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I still just don't think.
- 16:04Speaker 2: They could possibly be this bad, though I know they've
- 16:07Speaker 2: been bad, but last year they have a lot of
- 16:10Speaker 2: those same guys. They were not a bad bullpen last year.
- 16:13Speaker 2: I don't think they're this bad. And Detroit's been fine,
- 16:16Speaker 2: like middle of the pack, but you have rested bullpens
- 16:19Speaker 2: here because these teams did not play yesterday, so the
- 16:22Speaker 2: bullpen's are rested. So I think it serves two purposes
- 16:27Speaker 2: as far as like the unders concerned. We have teams
- 16:29Speaker 2: coming off a day off. The offenses can kind of
- 16:32Speaker 2: cooled off a little bit by having a day off,
- 16:35Speaker 2: and it rests the bullpens. So I like looking at
- 16:38Speaker 2: unders with too rested teams typically, so we are doing
- 16:42Speaker 2: it here with this one, and I think we actually
- 16:44Speaker 2: have a nice advantage with the started pitching, although as
- 16:48Speaker 2: far as the side is concerned yet, like I said,
- 16:50Speaker 2: Detroit does have the better bullpen so far. I mean,
- 16:53Speaker 2: I'm not gonna really disagree with that. And then the offenses.
- 16:56Speaker 2: This is another thing that comes into play. The offenses
- 16:58Speaker 2: haven't really been particularly good. Detroit's fourteenth in ops right
- 17:02Speaker 2: now and the Royals are twenty sixth, so we're not
- 17:05Speaker 2: dealing with the offenses that have really been lighting it up,
- 17:08Speaker 2: you know, So I think that helps us with.
- 17:10Speaker 1: The under here as well.
- 17:11Speaker 2: It's not just, you know, the pitching, although I think
- 17:13Speaker 2: pitching does outweigh hitting. But when Hitty can't take advantage
- 17:17Speaker 2: of the bad pitching, that's also a thing. But I
- 17:20Speaker 2: like to starting pitching matchup here too. Man, if you
- 17:22Speaker 2: wanted to go first five under, I'm not gonna disagree
- 17:24Speaker 2: with that either.
- 17:25Speaker 1: I think we have two pretty solid starters here.
- 17:28Speaker 2: They're both coming off of really bad outings, and they're
- 17:31Speaker 2: both solid enough that they're better than what their numbers indicate.
- 17:35Speaker 2: So that's why I like the under in a game
- 17:37Speaker 2: like this. I think it's gonna be an overlooked play
- 17:39Speaker 2: here because nobody's gonna want to play an under with
- 17:41Speaker 2: the way these two pitchers have looked so.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Far based on their numbers.
- 17:45Speaker 2: But these are veteran pitchers, so I think could bounce
- 17:48Speaker 2: back from a bad out and Cole Reagan's.
- 17:50Speaker 1: His pitching for the Royals.
- 17:52Speaker 2: He's their a dude, like he's been that in the past.
- 17:55Speaker 2: He's off to not a good start obviously, five point
- 17:58Speaker 2: nine win, one point six to nine, but we know
- 18:01Speaker 2: that he's better than this, like he's not.
- 18:03Speaker 1: I don't think he's all of.
- 18:04Speaker 2: A sudden just a completely different guy at the age
- 18:07Speaker 2: of twenty eight, unless there's something else going on here.
- 18:09Speaker 2: I know he had kind of an injury plagued season
- 18:12Speaker 2: last year, but once he got going, he got going
- 18:15Speaker 2: and his numbers were good, So I think he is
- 18:17Speaker 2: going to turn it around. And he looked good in
- 18:19Speaker 2: his second start, but then he had an atrocious start
- 18:22Speaker 2: against Cleveland back on the eighth, but he only threw
- 18:25Speaker 2: eighteen pitches. He still did start on schedule, and a
- 18:29Speaker 2: veteran like this, I think when he's coming off a
- 18:30Speaker 2: really ugly outing like that, I think he's gonna give
- 18:33Speaker 2: you a much.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Better outing in the next outing.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Plus, he's going up against Detroit and while yes, they're
- 18:38Speaker 2: very familiar with him because he's been in their division,
- 18:41Speaker 2: he's done really well against them in sixty at bats
- 18:44Speaker 2: one seventeen batting average allowed. They're only seven for sixty
- 18:48Speaker 2: off of him and a three ninety seven ops. Those
- 18:51Speaker 2: are really good numbers. The only concern is the walk
- 18:54Speaker 2: number is way too high. Twenty six strikeouts is quite good,
- 18:57Speaker 2: but twelve walks, So that's the one here is Yeah,
- 19:00Speaker 2: he's issued a lot of walks to them, but otherwise
- 19:03Speaker 2: I really like these numbers here, so I think he
- 19:06Speaker 2: can come in here and give us a good start
- 19:08Speaker 2: here from ber Valdez is on the other side here,
- 19:12Speaker 2: his numbers don't look good this season. Four point seven
- 19:14Speaker 2: to six ERA, one point four to seven WHIP. But
- 19:17Speaker 2: I think he's better than what he looked like in
- 19:19Speaker 2: his last game too. He got shelled after in his
- 19:21Speaker 2: first two starts he only give up one earned run
- 19:24Speaker 2: across those two starts.
- 19:25Speaker 1: He got shelled by.
- 19:26Speaker 2: This Minnesota team that is somehow lighting it up against
- 19:29Speaker 2: everybody right now, even though don't even think they're good.
- 19:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna give him a little bit of a pass
- 19:34Speaker 2: for that.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Now.
- 19:35Speaker 2: I worry that his strikeout rate is down. That's been
- 19:37Speaker 2: the one issue with him so far. Really, twelve strikeouts
- 19:40Speaker 2: at seventeen innings. He's allowed twenty hits. That's a concern,
- 19:43Speaker 2: but it was pretty much all because of that one
- 19:45Speaker 2: bad outing against Minnesota. That's where ten of those twenty
- 19:50Speaker 2: hits came in. So I'm gonna give him a little
- 19:51Speaker 2: bit of a pass for that. Five walks isn't exactly great,
- 19:55Speaker 2: but Valdez he does tend to.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Be a little bit wild. He's got to get a
- 19:59Speaker 1: strikeout rate back.
- 20:00Speaker 2: But he did have ten strikeouts in the first two starts,
- 20:03Speaker 2: so he's been good except for that starting against Minnesota
- 20:06Speaker 2: pretty much. So again, I'm gonna give him a little
- 20:09Speaker 2: bit of a pass for that. He's a veteran. I
- 20:11Speaker 2: think he is gonna bounce back, even though I know
- 20:13Speaker 2: he's a guy that is kind of a head case.
- 20:15Speaker 2: It goes on tilt a little bit. But he's going
- 20:18Speaker 2: up against the Royals here, which should be probably an
- 20:21Speaker 2: easier task, and he's done well against them in the past,
- 20:24Speaker 2: even though they're pretty familiar with him. Eighty nine at bats,
- 20:27Speaker 2: twenty six to five strike a walk ratio that's solid,
- 20:30Speaker 2: one fifty seven average, allowed.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Four to eighty three ops.
- 20:34Speaker 2: So both of these starting pitchers have strong numbers against
- 20:37Speaker 2: these offenses. So we're gonna do it. Rested bullpens let's
- 20:41Speaker 2: do it. Let's go under. The total might actually even
- 20:44Speaker 2: reach eight here.
- 20:45Speaker 1: I found it.
- 20:46Speaker 2: It's seven and a half at even money. I mean
- 20:48Speaker 2: seven is the key number here. So get at least
- 20:50Speaker 2: under seven and a half of you a full game
- 20:52Speaker 2: on this first five, you might be able to find
- 20:55Speaker 2: maybe even a four at a decent price there on
- 20:58Speaker 2: the first five. I don't hate that either if you
- 21:01Speaker 2: are scared of the Kansas City bullpen, but at least
- 21:04Speaker 2: they're rested, and I think there is room for them
- 21:06Speaker 2: to improve. Like I don't think they're absolutely a disastrous
- 21:09Speaker 2: bullpen like some of these other ones. Are ninety three
- 21:12Speaker 2: percent of tickets, nine to nine percent of the cash
- 21:14Speaker 2: on the over so it looks like a pretty public
- 21:17Speaker 2: over here. And again you see two pictures with horrendous eras.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna want to go under in a game like this,
- 21:23Speaker 2: we will, Uh. Detroit is at minus one seventeen. They
- 21:28Speaker 2: are taking money sixty six percent of tickets, ninety two
- 21:30Speaker 2: percent of the cash on Detroit. So the money is
- 21:33Speaker 2: coming in of Detroit as far as the side is concerned.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Like situationally, Detroit.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Is coming off a sweep of Miami and staying at home.
- 21:41Speaker 2: I don't think that's really gonna put them in a
- 21:43Speaker 2: letdown spot Kansas City coming off losing their last game
- 21:47Speaker 2: to the White Sox and now going out on the road.
- 21:49Speaker 2: I don't think it's a negative spot for Kansas City either,
- 21:53Speaker 2: like I think it's kind of a positive spot for them.
- 21:55Speaker 2: I don't really see that much of an angle for
- 21:57Speaker 2: Detroit here.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Really.
- 21:58Speaker 2: I don't love the side, and I can't really form
- 22:01Speaker 2: an opinion on the side, but the money is saying
- 22:03Speaker 2: Detroit for whatever reason, maybe maybe just because they're just
- 22:08Speaker 2: overall the slightly better team I think, and maybe getting
- 22:12Speaker 2: just a little bit undervalued here. I think just generally though,
- 22:16Speaker 2: I think Reagan's is probably a better pitcher than Valdez.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Though when they're both.
- 22:21Speaker 2: In form I should say anyway, yeah, I like the
- 22:25Speaker 2: under on that game, and that's what we're doing there,
- 22:27Speaker 2: Dirty sock, what's up? Thanks for hanging out all right.
- 22:34Speaker 2: I've only gotten through a few games so far. Man,
- 22:37Speaker 2: this is going really slow so far. San Francisco at Cincinnati.
- 22:42Speaker 2: These two teams also did not play yesterday. Cincinnati is
- 22:45Speaker 2: staying at home. Just lost to Anaheim at home, so
- 22:49Speaker 2: could be a bounced back spot.
- 22:50Speaker 1: For them.
- 22:51Speaker 2: San Francisco is having to come in from Baltimore. Both
- 22:54Speaker 2: teams are off yesterday, which does mean rested bullpens. As
- 22:58Speaker 2: far as the bullpens are concerned, I think there's more
- 23:00Speaker 2: room for improvement with the Giants bullpen. I'm looking at
- 23:03Speaker 2: the offense so both offense has been terrible so far.
- 23:06Speaker 2: They're both in the bottom four ops wise, although I
- 23:10Speaker 2: think the Giants are legitimately a very weak offense. Cincinnati
- 23:13Speaker 2: maybe not as bad as that, but they've both been
- 23:16Speaker 2: bad so far this year.
- 23:19Speaker 1: The Giants have not had a good bullpen so far.
- 23:21Speaker 2: They're sitting at twentieth in WHIP, but I think they
- 23:24Speaker 2: should turn it around. Their bullpen was better, like was
- 23:27Speaker 2: one of the best bullpens last year, and I don't
- 23:29Speaker 2: see why they would be that much.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Worse this year.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Again, it's early, but you never really know how it's
- 23:34Speaker 2: gonna shape up. Cincinnati has had the better bullpens so
- 23:37Speaker 2: far at twelve. Other bullpens actually pitched pretty well so far,
- 23:40Speaker 2: even though they play in a hitter friendly ballpark, which
- 23:43Speaker 2: is where this is. But I think you might be
- 23:46Speaker 2: able to trust both bullpens enough here. If you're looking
- 23:48Speaker 2: at you know, going with an under or something like
- 23:51Speaker 2: that here, But I mean, that's not really what my
- 23:53Speaker 2: opinion would be in this game. I'm just saying generally,
- 23:56Speaker 2: I think the bullpens are somewhat trustworthy here and they're rested.
- 23:59Speaker 1: Robbie is pitching for the Giants.
- 24:01Speaker 2: He's had a good start to the season two point
- 24:04Speaker 2: eight point nine to eight whip. He pitched well last
- 24:08Speaker 2: year until he started to struggle later in the season.
- 24:10Speaker 2: I think maybe getting named to the All Star team
- 24:13Speaker 2: threw him off. I don't know exactly what happened there,
- 24:15Speaker 2: but his strikeout rates good, more than one per inning.
- 24:18Speaker 2: He's only allowed eleven hits in seventeen to third so far,
- 24:21Speaker 2: pitching well, and he's gone up against Yankees, Mets, Phillies,
- 24:25Speaker 2: not easy opponents to face.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Man.
- 24:28Speaker 2: The only concern with him really is that he walks
- 24:30Speaker 2: six guys over those last two outings, but he still
- 24:33Speaker 2: didn't allow many runs, so he is pretty much in
- 24:36Speaker 2: good form. You want to see that walk number go
- 24:38Speaker 2: down though. Against Cincinnati decent numbers and forty five at bats.
- 24:44Speaker 2: They don't have that many hitters who've even seen him.
- 24:46Speaker 2: They have six hitters who have faced him before twenty
- 24:49Speaker 2: strikeouts of four walks, so almost half of their at
- 24:52Speaker 2: bats have been strikeouts. That is a pretty crazy rate
- 24:56Speaker 2: there in ratio two hundred batting average allowed to them.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Even thirty two OPS is a bit high.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Suarez does have two of them runs off him, so
- 25:05Speaker 2: that's part of the reason why that OPS is that high.
- 25:09Speaker 2: It's still not that bad though, Like I think, Ray
- 25:11Speaker 2: is generally probably fairly trustworthy here. Maybe the same thing
- 25:16Speaker 2: cannot be said about Brady Singer, who is not off
- 25:19Speaker 2: to a good start for the Reds. Seven point seven
- 25:21Speaker 2: to one ERA two point zero six whip that is awful.
- 25:26Speaker 2: He's only made it five innings once so far, but
- 25:28Speaker 2: he got completely blasted in his last outing against the Mets.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Maybe he won't be as bad in this next one.
- 25:35Speaker 2: He's coming back home, and I believe last year he
- 25:37Speaker 2: actually did pitch pretty well at home, even though it's
- 25:39Speaker 2: a hitter friendly park. Yet he was actually significantly better
- 25:42Speaker 2: at home last year three point twenty nine ERA at
- 25:45Speaker 2: home versus four point eight eight on the road, So
- 25:48Speaker 2: he might be a little bit more trustworthy at home here.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Thirteen to three strikeout walk ratio is not bad. More
- 25:53Speaker 2: than one strikeout an inning this year. That's not bad either.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Just twenty one hits a lot is unbelievably bad, and
- 26:00Speaker 2: most of it is again because that last start he
- 26:02Speaker 2: got lit up by Miami.
- 26:04Speaker 1: He should be a bit better here.
- 26:07Speaker 2: I think he's he's a mediocre pitcher, but he's definitely
- 26:09Speaker 2: better than his numbers would suggest at least, and he's
- 26:12Speaker 2: going up against a pretty weak Giant offense here, but
- 26:16Speaker 2: he's been terrible against him. In forty seven at bats
- 26:19Speaker 2: eight zero strego walk.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Ratio is good.
- 26:22Speaker 2: Matt Chapman has absolutely wrecked him, seven for ten with
- 26:25Speaker 2: two one runs off him. Arai Az is eight for
- 26:28Speaker 2: nineteen off him. Those are some crazy numbers. He's a
- 26:31Speaker 2: lot of four to twenty six batting average to them
- 26:33Speaker 2: in one forty nine ohps. Overall, I mean it's mostly
- 26:37Speaker 2: those two guys doing the damage. And then Dever is
- 26:39Speaker 2: also four for eleven with a home run. So yeah, generally,
- 26:44Speaker 2: I am still gonna say yeah, even though it's kind
- 26:46Speaker 2: of a small sample sized, Singer has not done well
- 26:49Speaker 2: against the Giants, I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna lean Giants
- 26:55Speaker 2: in this one. But the money is completely disagreeing with me.
- 27:00Speaker 2: You know, maybe Giants first five if you really don't
- 27:02Speaker 2: trust their bullpenal though, I think their bullpen is not
- 27:05Speaker 2: that bad.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Fifty percent of the tickets that are on the Giants.
- 27:08Speaker 2: It looks like the public sentiment is kind of that
- 27:11Speaker 2: the Giants are gonna bounce back.
- 27:12Speaker 1: I don't know, man, or they just don't like Cincinnati.
- 27:15Speaker 2: Eighty six percent of the cash on Cincinnati though, but
- 27:19Speaker 2: still yeah.
- 27:20Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, man.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Maybe Ray is being a little bit overvalued in the market,
- 27:24Speaker 2: or singers being undervalued here. Maybe that's why the money's
- 27:27Speaker 2: coming out of Cincinnati. I don't know, man, But analyzing
- 27:30Speaker 2: that matchup, I kind of lean Giants.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Washington at Pittsburgh.
- 27:34Speaker 2: Pittsburgh destroyed Washington yesterday sixteen to five. I don't think
- 27:40Speaker 2: Washington is that good. I don't think they're anywhere near
- 27:42Speaker 2: as good as the record looks. Will they bounce back
- 27:46Speaker 2: from a blowout loss?
- 27:47Speaker 1: Maybe?
- 27:48Speaker 2: I mean, when a team blows the team out and
- 27:50Speaker 2: then they play that team again, a lot of times
- 27:52Speaker 2: that team that won will overlook that team in the
- 27:55Speaker 2: next game. Washington three relief pitchers used yesterday, Pittsburgh US two.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Both these bullpens have actually been bad this year. Washington
- 28:04Speaker 2: is legitimately terrible. They're third worst right now in WHIP,
- 28:08Speaker 2: but I believe they have the worst bullpen era out
- 28:10Speaker 2: of any team. They're bad, They're definitely bad. Pittsburgh has
- 28:14Speaker 2: not been that much better at twenty sixth overall, though
- 28:17Speaker 2: their bullpen era is better than all the other teams
- 28:20Speaker 2: surrounding them, but their WHIP indicates that their bullpend is
- 28:23Speaker 2: not good. Offenses have both been good, Washington fourth and
- 28:27Speaker 2: ops and Pittsburgh seventh. So it's shaping up to look
- 28:31Speaker 2: like this should be another high scoring game if you
- 28:33Speaker 2: just look at that, and then if you start looking
- 28:36Speaker 2: at the starting pitchers, it kind of looks that way too.
- 28:38Speaker 2: With Miles Michelis pitching for Washington, he's been awful this year.
- 28:43Speaker 1: I mean, he's not good. He might have to retire. Dude.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Twelve point four to one ERA, two point three to
- 28:49Speaker 2: five WHIP. That is very bad.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Of course, it's.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Getting skewed a little bit by one absolutely atrocious game
- 28:56Speaker 2: against the Dodgers, but he's been bad anyway, like eleven
- 29:01Speaker 2: to seven strike out walk ratio overall, twenty two hits
- 29:03Speaker 2: allowed in twelve and a third his other starts besides
- 29:06Speaker 2: that Dodger one.
- 29:07Speaker 1: We're not exactly good. He's not good.
- 29:10Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I don't think I need to be
- 29:12Speaker 2: labor that he sucks going up against uh oh no, wait,
- 29:15Speaker 2: he's on Washington. Who are we looking at here? Pirates
- 29:19Speaker 2: going up against the Pirates. Yeah, they've been him pretty hard.
- 29:22Speaker 2: He's been in their division.
- 29:23Speaker 1: In the past because he was on Saint Louis for
- 29:25Speaker 1: a long time.
- 29:26Speaker 2: Ninety nine at bats, twenty five to six strike out
- 29:28Speaker 2: walk ratio is actually not bad. But three zero three
- 29:31Speaker 2: batting average allowed, eight seventy five ops allowed to them,
- 29:35Speaker 2: Brian Reynolds fifteen for forty four with the home run
- 29:38Speaker 2: off him, and Ozuona six for fifteen of two of
- 29:41Speaker 2: hom runs off him, and they've combined for four walks
- 29:43Speaker 2: off him as well. So yeah, Mikolas definitely could get
- 29:47Speaker 2: lit up here in this game. Bad matchup numbers, Washington,
- 29:50Speaker 2: bad bullpen, Pittsburgh's got Mitch Keller on the mound. And
- 29:53Speaker 2: I told you I think he's pretty good. He goes
- 29:56Speaker 2: under the radar. People don't realize that he's pretty good.
- 30:00Speaker 2: He's got a one ERA so far this year, point
- 30:03Speaker 2: nine to four whip. Do I think he's that good. No,
- 30:06Speaker 2: I don't, but he is off to a good start here.
- 30:08Speaker 2: The one issue is the walks. He's got five walks
- 30:12Speaker 2: in eighteen innings. That's not great, but he's only allowed
- 30:15Speaker 2: twelve hits. Also not a strikeout pitcher though eleven strikeouts,
- 30:19Speaker 2: like I like guys that strike more guys out, you know.
- 30:22Speaker 2: And he also allows a lot of fly balls, which
- 30:24Speaker 2: I don't love. I like guys that induce ground balls
- 30:28Speaker 2: and you know, just get guys some ground out and
- 30:30Speaker 2: then you can get multiple outs on one plane and
- 30:32Speaker 2: stuff like that. When that's the case, it seems like
- 30:35Speaker 2: those ground ball guys are able to overcome more of
- 30:38Speaker 2: their shortcomings when they do that. Fly Ball guys give
- 30:41Speaker 2: up random home runs, you know what I mean. But Keller, yeah,
- 30:44Speaker 2: he's good. I don't think he's this good. Maybe there
- 30:47Speaker 2: is some room for regression here. And against Washington, his
- 30:50Speaker 2: numbers are actually not good. In seventy eight at bats,
- 30:53Speaker 2: fifteen to three strike out walk ratio is good, but
- 30:56Speaker 2: three twenty one batting average allowed eight to fifty eight
- 30:59Speaker 2: ops not good. So I'm gonna lean over in this game.
- 31:04Speaker 2: It seems too easy, I know, because yesterday's game went
- 31:07Speaker 2: way over. But we're looking at two bullpends that have
- 31:09Speaker 2: been bad, two offenses that have been good, two pitchers
- 31:13Speaker 2: that I think are at least questionable. Well in Washington
- 31:16Speaker 2: I think is yeah. I mean they're pitching is just bad.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Like the other way to approach this would be Pittsburgh
- 31:23Speaker 2: over their team totally. You could do it that way too,
- 31:26Speaker 2: but you're probably looking at them needing to score six
- 31:28Speaker 2: runs for you in this game. If you want to
- 31:30Speaker 2: do it that way, the total is up to nine
- 31:33Speaker 2: and a half, I would try to find a nine
- 31:36Speaker 2: and go over that. If you're gonna go over, it's
- 31:38Speaker 2: gone up for eight and a half. It looks like
- 31:39Speaker 2: it was nine at some point. So the money looks
- 31:41Speaker 2: like it's agreeing with me. On the over, eighty seven
- 31:44Speaker 2: percent of tickets, ninety nine percent of the cash on
- 31:46Speaker 2: the over. Pittsburgh has gone up for minus one fifty
- 31:50Speaker 2: five to minus one seventy three on the money line,
- 31:52Speaker 2: eighty nine percent of the tickets, ninety five percent of
- 31:54Speaker 2: the cash on Pittsburgh. Those numbers probably not accurate, but
- 31:58Speaker 2: it looks like some of the money coming in on Pittsburgh.
- 32:01Speaker 1: They look like they're.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Gonna be a public side too, though Yeah, again I
- 32:05Speaker 2: think the over is more trustworthy. Pittsburgh over their team
- 32:08Speaker 2: total might be more advantageous just because they think it's
- 32:11Speaker 2: more likely that Micholas will do poorly than Keller. But
- 32:15Speaker 2: you could see both of them doing bad here. So yeah,
- 32:19Speaker 2: I still think over is worth is worth a look
- 32:21Speaker 2: in that game. And yeah, I would find nine because
- 32:25Speaker 2: it's a key number. You have to break the four
- 32:27Speaker 2: to four tie, so I think over nine makes sense.
- 32:30Speaker 2: You might have to I would pay about up to
- 32:31Speaker 2: minus one twenty to do that probably, But that one's
- 32:34Speaker 2: also not making my card, So try to, you know,
- 32:38Speaker 2: try to gauge what my opinions are.
- 32:39Speaker 1: I mean, out of these games so far.
- 32:40Speaker 2: I guess that's the next strongest opinion that I have,
- 32:43Speaker 2: besides the total that I already gave out.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Anaheim at the Yankees. Yankees scored three.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Runs in the ninth inning yesterday to win, which obviously
- 32:52Speaker 2: I'm pissed about. Yankees should have lost that game. They
- 32:55Speaker 2: were down ten to eight in the ninth inning. But
- 32:57Speaker 2: of course Anaheim's bullpen is a piece of try rash.
- 33:01Speaker 2: As far as the bullpen usage, Anaheim used four relief
- 33:04Speaker 2: pitchers yesterday, Yankees.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Use four as well.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Don't know that either bullpen is particularly trustworthy, but the
- 33:10Speaker 2: Angels bullpen is the fourth worst in baseball, which is bad.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Yankees are middle of the pack right now. Obviously the
- 33:18Speaker 2: Yankees do have the better of the two bullpens. Maybe
- 33:21Speaker 2: they're both not trustworthy though offensively Yankees middle of the
- 33:26Speaker 2: pack or sorry that was looking, I need to look
- 33:28Speaker 2: at hitting here.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Yankee is still middle.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Of the pack though they're twelveth right now in ops,
- 33:32Speaker 2: so then we know they have a very potent lineup
- 33:35Speaker 2: though Anaheim's in the middle of the pack as well,
- 33:38Speaker 2: with Mike Trout somehow healthy right now, and I believe
- 33:41Speaker 2: he hit two of them runs yesterday. I think judged
- 33:43Speaker 2: it as well. A lot of offense going on here,
- 33:46Speaker 2: but again this game could be more offense. Like you think,
- 33:50Speaker 2: like you know, situationally, oh well, if one game goes
- 33:52Speaker 2: way over the total, you'd want to kind of like
- 33:54Speaker 2: fade that and go under in the next game.
- 33:56Speaker 1: But in baseball that's not necessarily.
- 33:58Speaker 2: The case because when a game went over, that means
- 34:01Speaker 2: a lot of the bullpen probably came in. Maybe the
- 34:04Speaker 2: bullpen's stink, you know, maybe the offenses are in good form,
- 34:07Speaker 2: So I don't really like zigzag totals like that in baseball,
- 34:11Speaker 2: and I actually lean over in this game as well.
- 34:14Speaker 2: The starting pitching matchup is also not a very elite
- 34:18Speaker 2: one reed Debt Mes is pitching for Anaheim.
- 34:21Speaker 1: He's got a four point six ERA one point two eight.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Whip that's not awful, but he's failed to make it
- 34:27Speaker 2: five innings in two of his three outings so far
- 34:30Speaker 2: this month, has only an eight to six strikeout walk ratio.
- 34:33Speaker 1: After his high strike up.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Performance against Houston and his first outing with nine strike uts,
- 34:38Speaker 2: since then, he's been walking more guys.
- 34:40Speaker 1: He hasn't been striking.
- 34:41Speaker 2: That many guys out. I don't know if I trust him.
- 34:44Speaker 2: He's going up against the Yankees. They've hit him pretty
- 34:46Speaker 2: well in the past thirty five at bats, not a
- 34:49Speaker 2: huge sample.
- 34:50Speaker 1: Fourteen strike cuts is a lot four walks.
- 34:55Speaker 2: That ratio is fine, but the Yankees do have a
- 34:57Speaker 2: three forty three average off him an eight ninety six
- 34:59Speaker 2: oh ps, so Denvers has not exactly been good against them.
- 35:04Speaker 1: He's going up against Ryan.
- 35:05Speaker 2: Weathers, who has pitched all right for the Yankees so far,
- 35:08Speaker 2: though his whip would indicate that his ERA should be
- 35:11Speaker 2: a lot higher than the two point eight to one
- 35:13Speaker 2: that it is right now. One point three to eight
- 35:16Speaker 2: whip is not going to cut it, man. That means
- 35:17Speaker 2: he's putting way too many guys on base. He is
- 35:20Speaker 2: coming off a really good outing against the A's though,
- 35:22Speaker 2: where he throw over one hundred pitches when eight innings,
- 35:26Speaker 2: one run allowed, seven strikeouts, no walks, seven hits. Although
- 35:30Speaker 2: the A's offense has kind of been struggling, still really
- 35:33Speaker 2: good performance out of him there easily as best start
- 35:35Speaker 2: of the year. Has a pretty good eighteen to five
- 35:38Speaker 2: strike out walk ratio so far this season, though, and
- 35:41Speaker 2: only one more hit than innings pitch, So overall, his
- 35:43Speaker 2: numbers are actually not even that bad with five. Yeah,
- 35:46Speaker 2: the five walks mixed in there, I guess is high
- 35:49Speaker 2: high strike up rate two. But overall, if you look
- 35:51Speaker 2: at his numbers, yeah, I don't think they're really that bad.
- 35:53Speaker 2: So I don't know that I necessarily would want to
- 35:56Speaker 2: fade him and go over here. But he doesn't have
- 35:58Speaker 2: good numbers against Anaheim really, It's a small sample of
- 36:01Speaker 2: only fifteen at bats. One of them is a home
- 36:03Speaker 2: run from Darnaut four to six strike out walker Raceiar
- 36:07Speaker 2: two sixty seven average without eight eighty six ops. It's
- 36:11Speaker 2: tough to gauge where you're gonna get out of weathers here, man,
- 36:14Speaker 2: which is why I don't really want to quite do
- 36:16Speaker 2: this and try to weather this thing. It would seem
- 36:19Speaker 2: like the Yankees do have the edge though, Like I
- 36:21Speaker 2: think they do have the better starting pitching here, the
- 36:24Speaker 2: better bullpen, and the better offense.
- 36:26Speaker 1: But obviously you're laying a price for the Yankees.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Are up to minus one seventy five for minus one
- 36:31Speaker 2: fifty five, and the money appears to be coming back
- 36:33Speaker 2: in against them. Eighty six percent of the tickets here
- 36:37Speaker 2: and seventy five percent of the cash on the Yankees,
- 36:41Speaker 2: so the money is kind of indicating against them. I
- 36:44Speaker 2: don't know, man, I mean yeah, I mean I kind
- 36:48Speaker 2: of lean towards the Yankees to win this one, especially
- 36:51Speaker 2: after Anaheim blew it last night. It could be a
- 36:54Speaker 2: little bit of a hangover spot for the Yankees or
- 36:56Speaker 2: excuse for the for the Angels. Excuse me, after the
- 36:59Speaker 2: Angels almost pulled off the upset last night. You know,
- 37:02Speaker 2: sometimes the team will be hung over after that, and
- 37:04Speaker 2: maybe the Yankees after getting a scare but also ending
- 37:07Speaker 2: their losing streak that could give the Yankees new momentum here.
- 37:10Speaker 2: So I do actually lean to the Yankees in this game.
- 37:13Speaker 2: I don't agree with the market there. Over probably would
- 37:16Speaker 2: be my preference. Though the total is headed towards nine.
- 37:19Speaker 2: It is going up ninety three percent of tickets, ninety
- 37:21Speaker 2: eight percent of the cash on the over. I think
- 37:23Speaker 2: the public is playing the over in that game too,
- 37:26Speaker 2: but I don't disagree with it.
- 37:27Speaker 1: In that one. You'd want to get better than like, at.
- 37:31Speaker 2: Least go over and nine in that like, don't let
- 37:34Speaker 2: it get to nine and a half at least, you know,
- 37:35Speaker 2: But it would be preferable to go over eight and
- 37:37Speaker 2: a half. But I don't think you'll be able to
- 37:39Speaker 2: find a good price on the eight and a half anymore,
- 37:42Speaker 2: But that.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Would be my preference still.
- 37:43Speaker 2: I think you'll see some runs in that game, and
- 37:46Speaker 2: it's a hitter from the ballpark.
- 37:48Speaker 1: Miami at Atlanta.
- 37:50Speaker 2: These two teams did play yesterday and Miami won ten
- 37:53Speaker 2: to four yesterday. Interesting Juri Perez looks like he got
- 37:58Speaker 2: the best of grant homes.
- 38:00Speaker 1: Yesterday.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Atlanta only used two relief pitchers yesterday, Miami used five,
- 38:07Speaker 2: so Atlanta's bullpen is much more rested after yesterday, and
- 38:10Speaker 2: they've been the better bullpen this season. They've been number
- 38:13Speaker 2: one in baseball with a one point oh four whip,
- 38:15Speaker 2: even though I think they're gonna regress to some extent,
- 38:19Speaker 2: but yeah, they're a good bullpen. You gotta admit that
- 38:22Speaker 2: they're third in offense so far this year though still
- 38:25Speaker 2: I still think there's gonna be some regression here out
- 38:27Speaker 2: of this brave team, but they've been good on both
- 38:30Speaker 2: of those sides of the ball. Miami has been good
- 38:32Speaker 2: as well, fifth in offense still and sixth in bullpen whip,
- 38:36Speaker 2: so you know, no shade in Miami there. Although Miami
- 38:40Speaker 2: did use way too many of their relief pitchers yesterday.
- 38:43Speaker 2: I gotta give Atlanta the edges there in the offense
- 38:46Speaker 2: and in the bullpen, and they might bounce back after
- 38:50Speaker 2: an ugly loss yesterday. A lot of times you will
- 38:52Speaker 2: see a team bounce back after a game like that.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Max Meyer is pitching from Miami. He's been okay so
- 38:59Speaker 2: far this year. Three six eighty r one point three
- 39:01Speaker 2: to six whip is definitely too high, though too many
- 39:04Speaker 2: walks eight walks in fourteen to two thirds innings. That's
- 39:07Speaker 2: not gonna cut it. Fifteen strikeouts is good. Twelve it's
- 39:11Speaker 2: allowed is not bad. He's got to get his walk
- 39:13Speaker 2: number down. That's been his problem.
- 39:16Speaker 1: Man. Like, he's got good stuff, good strikeout stuff. I
- 39:19Speaker 1: like him.
- 39:20Speaker 2: He's never totally panned out though from Miami, and again,
- 39:23Speaker 2: this wildness needs to get under control.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Maybe he'll do a little bit better. I don't know.
- 39:28Speaker 1: One of his like his worst start.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Was against the Yankees, which you know, a lot of
- 39:32Speaker 2: times you got to give a guy a pass for
- 39:34Speaker 2: that because the Yankees are good. But Braves have been
- 39:36Speaker 2: hitting well. His numbers against the Braves are not that
- 39:38Speaker 2: good at all. And thirty five at bats ten to
- 39:41Speaker 2: one strike out walk ratio, that is good, but two
- 39:44Speaker 2: eighty six average allowed nine oh six ops. That worries
- 39:47Speaker 2: me because I like looking at the strikeout walk ratio.
- 39:50Speaker 1: But also the OPS is a.
- 39:52Speaker 2: Good indicator, and they're conflicting with each other here, so
- 39:55Speaker 2: it's like, which meyer are you gonna get here? This
- 39:58Speaker 2: is a very difficult game to hand, and then you
- 40:00Speaker 2: don't know what you're gonna get out of Ronaldo Lopez either.
- 40:03Speaker 2: He's been pitching well so far this season, one point
- 40:06Speaker 2: one to five whip point or one point one five
- 40:09Speaker 2: era excuse me, point ninety six whip. Now he was
- 40:14Speaker 2: pitching well, but his walk number is too high. He's
- 40:16Speaker 2: got thirteen strikeouts, five walks, and fifteen to two thirds innings.
- 40:20Speaker 2: Hasn't allowed a lot of hits ten hits, that's good,
- 40:22Speaker 2: but he's allowed three home runs five walks. Those numbers
- 40:25Speaker 2: are not good. So he's got some problems. And if
- 40:28Speaker 2: you look at his career, I still don't know what
- 40:30Speaker 2: we should think about Lopez.
- 40:32Speaker 1: He's already in his thirties.
- 40:33Speaker 2: We've seen his velocity take a dip this year and
- 40:36Speaker 2: last year. I think so his numbers. He was bad
- 40:39Speaker 2: last year, but he only made I guess he made
- 40:41Speaker 2: one start last year, Is that right? I thought he
- 40:43Speaker 2: was in there longer than that. Maybe I just remember
- 40:45Speaker 2: the previous season. The previous season was the best season
- 40:48Speaker 2: of his career, starting most of the way ann for Atlanta.
- 40:52Speaker 2: But that almost looks like more of a fluke because
- 40:54Speaker 2: his other seasons that he started earlier in his career
- 40:57Speaker 2: where the White Sox were one was pretty good, one
- 41:00Speaker 2: was not good at all, and then he had some
- 41:02Speaker 2: shortened seasons.
- 41:04Speaker 1: Then he was a reliever for a while, he's been
- 41:07Speaker 1: all over the place, dude.
- 41:08Speaker 2: But the reason why I don't know what we should
- 41:10Speaker 2: do with him in this game, even though his career
- 41:13Speaker 2: is just a total rollercoaster too, is he just got
- 41:16Speaker 2: suspended because you guys saw the previous game that he
- 41:19Speaker 2: pitched against Anaheim. He got a seven day suspension for fighting,
- 41:26Speaker 2: where basically what happened was Jorge Solilaire was hitting him well.
- 41:29Speaker 1: In that game, he threw. He threw at Solaire, but.
- 41:33Speaker 2: He did one of the things where you throw above
- 41:36Speaker 2: the guy's head, you know what I mean, and it
- 41:37Speaker 2: went over the catcher. People saying, oh, he didn't throw
- 41:40Speaker 2: at him, that's bullshit. He definitely did. It was one
- 41:43Speaker 2: of those things, you know, to make a statement. And
- 41:45Speaker 2: then Solaire wound up rushing the mound, charging the mound.
- 41:49Speaker 2: A brawl into the bench is clear. But Lopez held
- 41:53Speaker 2: the baseball in his fist and like tried to punch
- 41:56Speaker 2: Solaire in the face with the baseball in his hand.
- 41:59Speaker 1: That could got some real damage. Man, That's like, that's
- 42:02Speaker 1: actually a salt.
- 42:03Speaker 2: So I don't think Lopez should even be pitching right now, man,
- 42:07Speaker 2: I really don't. He got his suspension dropped to five
- 42:12Speaker 2: days instead of seven to, which is ridiculous. He appealed
- 42:15Speaker 2: it either way. I mean, I guess either way. I
- 42:18Speaker 2: pushed his start back by one or two games. I
- 42:20Speaker 2: don't know exactly what it did. But what mindset is
- 42:23Speaker 2: it gonna be in coming out of suspension like that?
- 42:25Speaker 1: I have no idea. Man, is it gonna be on tilt?
- 42:28Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 42:29Speaker 2: So this game is really difficult to figure out. Against Miami,
- 42:33Speaker 2: He's never been seen before, which seems really insane to me.
- 42:37Speaker 2: I don't know how Miami has never faced him before.
- 42:39Speaker 2: None of their hitters have ever seen him before. So
- 42:42Speaker 2: I usually say that is an advantage when a pitcher
- 42:45Speaker 2: has good stuff, which I think he still pretty much
- 42:48Speaker 2: does a lot of times, that will be good against
- 42:52Speaker 2: a lot of that's never seen him before.
- 42:53Speaker 1: They'll have the advantage there. But I don't know.
- 42:56Speaker 2: Man, and Landa's up to minus one fifty six here,
- 42:59Speaker 2: ninety cent tickets, ninety five percent of the cash on them.
- 43:02Speaker 1: They look like a very public side.
- 43:04Speaker 2: Money is also coming in on the over after it
- 43:06Speaker 2: dropped to eight and a half.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Juice to the under. Margo Reid looks stronger on.
- 43:10Speaker 2: The over sixty one percent of tickets, ninety seven percent
- 43:12Speaker 2: of the cash in the over I want nothing to
- 43:15Speaker 2: do with this game at all. I don't even have
- 43:16Speaker 2: an opinion on this game. Really, this is one of
- 43:19Speaker 2: the hardest games that I've seen to handicap. I don't
- 43:21Speaker 2: even think I want to give an opinion on it.
- 43:23Speaker 2: It's just, yeah, very very difficult game to figure out.
- 43:27Speaker 2: My bust in Red Sox at Minnesota. There is something
- 43:31Speaker 2: wrong with the Red Sox. They need to get rid
- 43:34Speaker 2: of Andrew Bailey. Their pitching coach is just wrecking their pitchers, dude.
- 43:38Speaker 1: Like the Red Sox are the only team to.
- 43:41Speaker 2: Have a pitcher give up like ten or more runs
- 43:45Speaker 2: in two and a third or fewer innings. And it's
- 43:47Speaker 2: happened three times in the last like two seasons for
- 43:51Speaker 2: the Red Sox, twice to Tanner Houck and now to
- 43:54Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet, who is an elite pitcher.
- 43:57Speaker 1: I don't know what is happening here.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Five the pitching coach, fire, the manager, fire Alex cor
- 44:03Speaker 2: There's something going on with this team. When you have
- 44:05Speaker 2: that level of talent and that talent is completely underperforming
- 44:10Speaker 2: like this, you know that it's not the players that
- 44:13Speaker 2: are the problem. Okay, it's the coaching. You have to
- 44:16Speaker 2: get rid of these guys. I'm sick of it. I'm
- 44:18Speaker 2: fucking pissed. That was one of the worst things I've
- 44:21Speaker 2: ever seen yesterday. The good news is Minnesota is over
- 44:24Speaker 2: celebrating and probably feel way too good about that, and
- 44:27Speaker 2: everybody all of a sudden things Minnesota is a good team,
- 44:30Speaker 2: and I'm like, they're sitting at ten and seven and
- 44:34Speaker 2: they've had some kind of flukey wins. I think Toronto
- 44:36Speaker 2: is taking a big step back this year. I'm not
- 44:39Speaker 2: buying into this Minnesota team.
- 44:41Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 44:42Speaker 2: One thing that we do know is that Minnesota has
- 44:45Speaker 2: a terrible bullpen, second worst in baseball right now as
- 44:50Speaker 2: far as Whip is concerned. Their bullpend blows and the
- 44:53Speaker 2: Red Sox bullpen is seventh right now in bullpen Whip,
- 44:56Speaker 2: so I think the Red Sox do have a large
- 44:58Speaker 2: bullpen advantage here.
- 45:00Speaker 1: Minnesota. You only used two relief pitchers yesterday.
- 45:02Speaker 2: Red Sox only used three, So I'm not too concerned
- 45:05Speaker 2: about that.
- 45:06Speaker 1: Minnesota.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Their offense has been hitting well, they're at ninth, but
- 45:11Speaker 2: I just you see what they have.
- 45:13Speaker 1: In their lineup.
- 45:14Speaker 2: Man, they unloaded some of their guys. This is supposed
- 45:17Speaker 2: to be like a rebuilding year. I'm not buying it.
- 45:20Speaker 2: I'm not the Red Sox. I know they've been bad
- 45:22Speaker 2: so far this year, but if you look at who
- 45:24Speaker 2: is in these lineups, the Red Sox clearly have the
- 45:27Speaker 2: more talented lineup. So even though I guess you ought
- 45:31Speaker 2: to give Minnesota a little bit of a hitting edge
- 45:33Speaker 2: right now, I don't think that's gonna be the case.
- 45:36Speaker 2: Like at the end of the season, the Red Sox
- 45:39Speaker 2: should be in big bounce back mode. After that horrible
- 45:42Speaker 2: performance yesterday, I think you will see a better effort
- 45:45Speaker 2: out of them. So that's the good news. Sonny Gray
- 45:48Speaker 2: is on the mound for the Red Sox. He's pitching
- 45:50Speaker 2: well so far this season. Had a bad start in
- 45:53Speaker 2: his first start, and he's been pretty good since then.
- 45:55Speaker 2: Two point seven to six e ra point nine to
- 45:57Speaker 2: eight whip. Not a lot of strikeouts right now, which
- 46:02Speaker 2: is a concern, only ten strikeouts and sixteen to third innings.
- 46:06Speaker 2: His velocity might be down as he's getting towards the
- 46:08Speaker 2: end of his career, but he's only walked three guys
- 46:12Speaker 2: and giving up thirteen hits in that span, so he's
- 46:15Speaker 2: not putting a lot of guys on base. He's been
- 46:17Speaker 2: good in his last two starts. Like I said, just
- 46:19Speaker 2: you'd like to see him striking more guys out is
- 46:21Speaker 2: the only thing, but maybe that's not what he needs
- 46:25Speaker 2: to do. He's getting a lot of ground ball outs.
- 46:28Speaker 2: He looks fairly good right now. Against Minnesota's numbers are
- 46:32Speaker 2: just okay. In fifty four at bats nine to four
- 46:35Speaker 2: strikeout walk ratium, Larnock has two home runs off him,
- 46:39Speaker 2: so he does kind of need to pitch around him.
- 46:41Speaker 2: Nobody else really does that much damage against him though,
- 46:44Speaker 2: two fifty nine batting average allowed seven to seventy three
- 46:46Speaker 2: ops allowed. I think you will get a better effort,
- 46:49Speaker 2: a better performance here from Gray mick abel Is pitching
- 46:52Speaker 2: from Minnesota. I don't know that this guy's ever gonna
- 46:55Speaker 2: be that good man. He was a prospect for the Phillies.
- 46:58Speaker 2: They got rid of him the trade deadline. There might
- 47:02Speaker 2: not be a whole lot to see here with able man.
- 47:05Speaker 2: He hasn't been able to really do anything. I'm gonna
- 47:07Speaker 2: make that joke every time six point adr two point
- 47:11Speaker 2: one whip.
- 47:11Speaker 1: That's some bad stuff.
- 47:13Speaker 2: He's walked at least three guys in all three of
- 47:16Speaker 2: his outings so far, leading to a thirteen to end
- 47:19Speaker 2: strike out walk ratio, and on top of that, he's
- 47:21Speaker 2: allowed way more than one hit per inning.
- 47:23Speaker 1: This is bad. Now.
- 47:25Speaker 2: He is coming off a shutout performance against Detroit. He
- 47:28Speaker 2: threw over one hundred pitches, though, which I should have
- 47:32Speaker 2: called more attention to that when I talked about who
- 47:36Speaker 2: was it one of these other pitches just threw one
- 47:38Speaker 2: hundred pitches in their previous outing.
- 47:40Speaker 1: I think it might have been weathers. I forget.
- 47:42Speaker 2: But when a guy isn't used to it and they
- 47:44Speaker 2: throw over one hundred pitches like for the first time
- 47:47Speaker 2: in a season, and it's well over their usual pitch count,
- 47:50Speaker 2: sometimes they will be a bit tired coming into the
- 47:52Speaker 2: next game and it could be kind of a bit
- 47:54Speaker 2: of a letdown. I don't like his fly ball rad either.
- 47:58Speaker 2: He allows a lot of fly balls. That's album. And
- 48:02Speaker 2: again his walk number is just really bad. And he
- 48:05Speaker 2: is coming off a shutout of Detroit somehow, six inning
- 48:08Speaker 2: shut out, even though he walked three guys in that outing.
- 48:11Speaker 2: I think he could have a let down here, Matt
- 48:13Speaker 2: after that game. I think that game might be a
- 48:14Speaker 2: little bit more of a fluke rather than that, he's
- 48:17Speaker 2: you know, sort of trending in the right direction here.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Now, the Red Sox have basically never seen him before.
- 48:22Speaker 2: Kiner Filefa faced him last year and was one for two,
- 48:25Speaker 2: often with a single and a strikeout. So there's really
- 48:28Speaker 2: not a whole lot to see there. But I'm gonna
- 48:30Speaker 2: lead Red Sox here. I think it's a bounce back
- 48:33Speaker 2: spot for them. I think Gray is the more trustworthy
- 48:36Speaker 2: picture here. Red Sox have the better bullpen as well.
- 48:39Speaker 2: I'll lean that way. Minus one thirty is the price
- 48:42Speaker 2: right now. Red Sox are favored on the road for
- 48:45Speaker 2: a reason. Man, They're the better team and they have
- 48:46Speaker 2: the better picture here. Sixty percent of tickets eighty two
- 48:49Speaker 2: percent of the cash on the Red Sox. I know
- 48:51Speaker 2: having the better picture didn't do anything for them last night,
- 48:54Speaker 2: but I silly, that was very, very fluky. This doesn't
- 48:59Speaker 2: make my card. But as far as what I've talked
- 49:01Speaker 2: about so far, this is one of my better opinions.
- 49:04Speaker 2: I actually think I would lean a Red Sox in
- 49:06Speaker 2: that one. Like I said Tampa at the Chicago White Sox,
- 49:11Speaker 2: this is gonna be one of my bets. And I
- 49:13Speaker 2: changed my approach for this game. I was gonna go
- 49:20Speaker 2: with a total on this game. I was gonna go under,
- 49:22Speaker 2: and then as I kind of thought about it more
- 49:25Speaker 2: and looked at it more, I flipped, and we're going
- 49:28Speaker 2: with the White Sox money line in this game. I know, Yeah,
- 49:32Speaker 2: it sounds insane. Yeah, the White Sox, they've been really
- 49:36Speaker 2: bad over the last couple of seasons. I do think
- 49:37Speaker 2: they're a little bit less bad this year. And if
- 49:40Speaker 2: you like this one, you're really gonna like the last
- 49:42Speaker 2: play that I have the White Sox. Both bullpens arrested.
- 49:46Speaker 2: Neither team played yesterday, so that's kind of where we start.
- 49:49Speaker 2: So we do have rested bullpens, which is part of
- 49:52Speaker 2: the reason why I was considering an under. Also, the
- 49:54Speaker 2: White Sox have been really bad offensively. Yes, they're the
- 49:57Speaker 2: worst offensive baseball right now, so we do have to
- 49:59Speaker 2: deal with that with this play here. I understand that
- 50:02Speaker 2: Tampa Bay has hit well, they're tenth in ops right now,
- 50:07Speaker 2: but I don't think their offense is really as good
- 50:10Speaker 2: as that makes them look, which again kind of lends
- 50:13Speaker 2: itself towards an under.
- 50:14Speaker 1: I know I was thinking under.
- 50:16Speaker 2: In this game, but then I started looking at the
- 50:18Speaker 2: situation and I'm like, maybe not, Well, we gotta look
- 50:22Speaker 2: at the bullpens here as well.
- 50:23Speaker 1: The bullpens.
- 50:26Speaker 2: Tampa has been pretty bad bullpen wise, like worse than
- 50:29Speaker 2: the White Sox. Actually, Tampa Bay has one of the
- 50:32Speaker 2: worst bullpen e ras second worst in the league. They're
- 50:35Speaker 2: like sixth worst bullpen whip wise White Sox. I understand
- 50:40Speaker 2: they're not much better, but they are at least slightly
- 50:42Speaker 2: better than that in the bullpen. So I think maybe
- 50:45Speaker 2: you have to give the White Sox a slight bullpen
- 50:47Speaker 2: edge year.
- 50:48Speaker 1: It is close.
- 50:49Speaker 2: I mean, if we're looking at what they did last year, yes,
- 50:51Speaker 2: Tampa should eventually have the better bullpen, but the way
- 50:54Speaker 2: they pitched right now not the case. But we're kind
- 50:57Speaker 2: of going situational on this. A Bay is coming off
- 51:00Speaker 2: sweeping the Yankees, dude, and they won every game by
- 51:04Speaker 2: small amount. So they're playing dramatic game after dramatic game
- 51:08Speaker 2: against the best team in the AL East, probably the
- 51:10Speaker 2: best team in the AL That's crazy that whenever.
- 51:13Speaker 1: You do that, that's huge, dude.
- 51:15Speaker 2: Tampall, Like, when was the last time they swept the Yankees?
- 51:18Speaker 2: I don't know, And that was in their first home
- 51:21Speaker 2: stand back in Tropic Canada too. Now they're leaving again
- 51:24Speaker 2: to go back out on the road. I don't think
- 51:26Speaker 2: that's a good thing.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Man.
- 51:27Speaker 2: That was a great series for them there. Now they're
- 51:30Speaker 2: going back out on the road where I don't think
- 51:33Speaker 2: they've been quite as good here. I'm trying to eyeball
- 51:38Speaker 2: with their record is on the road. I think it's
- 51:39Speaker 2: five and five, so it's not, yeah, not horrible, but yeah,
- 51:44Speaker 2: I think they're in a letdown spot, dude, coming off
- 51:46Speaker 2: of that, and they have a day to kind of
- 51:48Speaker 2: think about it in basket and a lot of times
- 51:50Speaker 2: when you start a road trip you will start out
- 51:52Speaker 2: with focus, but you're coming off a sweep of the Yankees.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Dude, how excited do you get about playing the White Sox? Really?
- 51:59Speaker 2: Like, I don't think you get that excited about on
- 52:00Speaker 2: my mistake, The Rays are four and five on the road,
- 52:03Speaker 2: white Sox three and three at home. By the way,
- 52:05Speaker 2: so the White Sox have been much worse on the road.
- 52:08Speaker 1: Now, I know the right.
- 52:09Speaker 2: The White Sox are returning home, but they only had
- 52:11Speaker 2: one series on the road there in Kansas City, so
- 52:14Speaker 2: I don't consider that to be a long road trip
- 52:16Speaker 2: return spot.
- 52:17Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a big series Divisional series.
- 52:19Speaker 2: Yes, they did get the win in the final game,
- 52:22Speaker 2: but the good thing about that is it ended a
- 52:23Speaker 2: two game losing streak, so maybe they do have a
- 52:26Speaker 2: little bit of momentum off of that. Again, I know
- 52:29Speaker 2: the returning home, but a return home from Kansas City,
- 52:32Speaker 2: They've done that plenty of times. It's really easy and
- 52:34Speaker 2: not from a long trip, So I don't think this
- 52:36Speaker 2: is gonna be a distracted spot for them. So I
- 52:38Speaker 2: think it is a letdown spot.
- 52:40Speaker 1: For the Rays.
- 52:40Speaker 2: Then we're gonna look at the starting pitching matchup here.
- 52:43Speaker 2: Shane McClanahan is pitching for Tampa. He's been decent so far,
- 52:49Speaker 2: four point one five ERA, one point one to five whip. Now,
- 52:53Speaker 2: I think he is good. You look at his career numbers.
- 52:55Speaker 2: He has really good career numbers. He's twenty eight, but
- 52:59Speaker 2: he missed two full seasons, so he is still kind
- 53:02Speaker 2: of getting his bearing still. And yes, he has made
- 53:05Speaker 2: two starts already, so he's in the process of doing that.
- 53:08Speaker 2: But I don't think he's fully back yet. When we're
- 53:11Speaker 2: gonna dive into his numbers in a second, and yes,
- 53:13Speaker 2: he might, you know, come fully back from these injuries
- 53:17Speaker 2: that he had or whatever, but sometimes it takes a
- 53:19Speaker 2: little while. And yeah, maybe eventually he will be good again.
- 53:22Speaker 2: But I don't know if I'm totally ready to trust
- 53:24Speaker 2: him right now. He's not made it five innings in
- 53:27Speaker 2: either of his starts yet. And what's really bad is
- 53:29Speaker 2: he's had three plus walks in both outings and has
- 53:32Speaker 2: a nine to seven strike out walk ratio.
- 53:34Speaker 1: That's not good.
- 53:35Speaker 2: Clearly, that's way too many walks. So I don't think
- 53:39Speaker 2: I can fully trust him yet. Even though against Tampa
- 53:41Speaker 2: he does have pretty good numbers or sorry against he
- 53:44Speaker 2: is Tampa. Against the White Sox excuse, he does have
- 53:46Speaker 2: good numbers, but very small sample. They only have they're
- 53:50Speaker 2: one for eleven off and Ben and Tende has a
- 53:52Speaker 2: single and they have four strikeouts no walks off him. Yes,
- 53:55Speaker 2: those numbers are really good, and yes that means he's
- 53:57Speaker 2: unfamiliar to them. But there is game fell on this guy.
- 54:00Speaker 2: He's been in the league for a little while, he's
- 54:02Speaker 2: been shaky with the walks to start the season. Man,
- 54:06Speaker 2: I think he is a little bit in question, and
- 54:08Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with an underdog price.
- 54:11Speaker 1: I like to do this man.
- 54:12Speaker 2: With Noah Shaltz making his major league debut for the
- 54:15Speaker 2: White Sox.
- 54:16Speaker 1: We're gonna do this here, man.
- 54:19Speaker 2: I like this when you get an underdog on this
- 54:20Speaker 2: picture that nobody knows who he is, but if you
- 54:23Speaker 2: look into it like this guy is one of the
- 54:25Speaker 2: top prospects in the White Sox organization, he is absolutely legit.
- 54:30Speaker 1: I looked at his minor league numbers.
- 54:32Speaker 2: He's been in the miners a little bit this year,
- 54:33Speaker 2: and he's put up good numbers this year in the miners.
- 54:36Speaker 1: Last year.
- 54:37Speaker 2: He struggled a little bit in Triple A last year,
- 54:39Speaker 2: but this year he looked good in Triple A. And
- 54:41Speaker 2: he was pretty much dominant throughout his minor league career.
- 54:45Speaker 1: Like I was looking at his numbers.
- 54:46Speaker 2: His strikeout rate was insanely high in the miners. His
- 54:49Speaker 2: whip was good. It was low up until last year.
- 54:53Speaker 2: He struggled making the move to Triple A. But then,
- 54:55Speaker 2: like I said, this year and he was really good
- 54:57Speaker 2: in Double A last year. This year in Triple A
- 55:00Speaker 2: he did pitch pretty well, which is part of the
- 55:03Speaker 2: reason why they called him up. He's a twenty two
- 55:05Speaker 2: year old. He's a lefty, so a lot of times
- 55:08Speaker 2: he's lefties actually do a little bit better when hitters
- 55:11Speaker 2: that they're opposing have never seen him before because the
- 55:13Speaker 2: lefties usually throw at a weirder arm angle. He's six',
- 55:16Speaker 2: ten so he's a ridiculously tall presence on the.
- 55:21Speaker 1: Mound he should be playing.
- 55:22Speaker 2: Basketball he's one of the tallest players In Major League
- 55:25Speaker 2: baseball and two Forty you, know, YEAH i think he's
- 55:31Speaker 2: gonna be it's gonna be tough to pick up his.
- 55:32Speaker 2: Pitches and you look at his pitch, mix it's pretty.
- 55:36Speaker 2: Insane he has six different pitches and he kind of
- 55:39Speaker 2: utilizes all of. Them he uses four of them more
- 55:42Speaker 2: than the. Others but he uses a sinker a. Lot
- 55:44Speaker 2: and he has this insane sinker that he throws at
- 55:47Speaker 2: like ninety six ninety seven miles an, hour and it
- 55:51Speaker 2: has movement on it and it's really really difficult to
- 55:53Speaker 2: hit along with like a high nineties four seam. Fastball
- 55:57Speaker 2: he's got a slider and a curveball THAT i think
- 56:00Speaker 2: both have a ton of movement on. Them AND i
- 56:03Speaker 2: think he does mix in like a cutter and a
- 56:05Speaker 2: change as. Well SO i think he is going to
- 56:07Speaker 2: be difficult for these hitters to face. Him, man and,
- 56:09Speaker 2: again he's totally unknown to these, Hitters SO i think
- 56:13Speaker 2: he's gonna have an advantage against these hitters who have
- 56:15Speaker 2: never seen him. BEFORE i Think schultz might be the
- 56:18Speaker 2: real deal. Man of, course it is questionable to ride
- 56:21Speaker 2: a guy in his major league debut because the nerves
- 56:24Speaker 2: might be. There you never, know the nervousness might be.
- 56:27Speaker 2: There BUT i don't. Know when you're playing for a
- 56:29Speaker 2: team like The White, sox where the expectations are, very very,
- 56:32Speaker 2: low you might be able to go out there and
- 56:35Speaker 2: pitch a little bit, looser you. Know and by the,
- 56:38Speaker 2: way he's pitching in front of a home crowd here
- 56:40Speaker 2: because he's From, Naperville, Illinois so how good is. THAT
- 56:43Speaker 2: i think that helps him a little bit. More that
- 56:45Speaker 2: probably means his family friends are going to be at this.
- 56:47Speaker 2: Game that's gonna help him out a, LOT i. Think
- 56:50Speaker 2: SO i didn't even actually think about. THAT i didn't
- 56:52Speaker 2: even consider, that BUT i think that is worth considering
- 56:55Speaker 2: that that's going to actually help him in this outing
- 56:57Speaker 2: because he's pitching In chicago, here so you, know this
- 57:02Speaker 2: is the dream for. Him, Baby he's pitching for the
- 57:05Speaker 2: local team. Here so, yeah we're gonna do. It we're
- 57:08Speaker 2: gonna take The White sox in this, Game, Uh tampa
- 57:11Speaker 2: looks like they're getting some of the money with eighty
- 57:13Speaker 2: two percent of the tickets ninety eight percent of the,
- 57:15Speaker 2: cash and on them they dropped for minus one forty
- 57:18Speaker 2: five to minus one thirty.
- 57:19Speaker 1: Three though money is coming in on the. UNDER i
- 57:22Speaker 1: do agree with the under as.
- 57:24Speaker 2: Well seventy nine percent of tickets on the, over fifty
- 57:26Speaker 2: five percent of the cash on the. Under it's a
- 57:28Speaker 2: total of eight or seven and a half. Here you
- 57:31Speaker 2: do have rested bullpens, here even though the bullpens are pretty,
- 57:34Speaker 2: untrustworthy so if you wanted to go under first.
- 57:36Speaker 1: Five you could do that.
- 57:37Speaker 2: Too, generally, YES i agree with the, under but AGAIN
- 57:42Speaker 2: i prefer The White sox WHEN i kind of thought
- 57:45Speaker 2: about this more and looked at what the situation was
- 57:47Speaker 2: and looked at McClanahan just kind of being shaky so
- 57:50Speaker 2: far this, year shaky like he's.
- 57:52Speaker 1: Got parkinson's, man we're gonna do. It.
- 57:55Speaker 2: Uh White sox is the play in that game money.
- 57:58Speaker 2: Line if you want to go first five Inning White,
- 58:00Speaker 2: sox you can do that. Too but, AGAIN i don't
- 58:03Speaker 2: think they have a major bullpend disadvantage, here so their
- 58:06Speaker 2: main disadvantage is their. Offense BUT i think good, hitting
- 58:10Speaker 2: excuse a good pitching counters good.
- 58:12Speaker 1: HITTING i think it over takes good. Hitting all, right
- 58:15Speaker 1: we gotta get, this.
- 58:16Speaker 2: Dude this is gonna be one of my longest baseball
- 58:18Speaker 2: analyses that we've had so.
- 58:20Speaker 1: Far it's gonna go way more than an. Hour toronto At.
- 58:22Speaker 2: MILWAUKEE i considered making this game a, play and if
- 58:26Speaker 2: you look at the starting pitching you might know Where
- 58:28Speaker 2: i'm going with, this and the fact that both teams
- 58:30Speaker 2: did not play. Yesterday, Now, milwaukee they're staying at home
- 58:33Speaker 2: and they've lost five straight, games including losing three in
- 58:37Speaker 2: a row at home To, washington And milwaukee was a
- 58:41Speaker 2: huge favorite in every one of those. Games you gotta
- 58:43Speaker 2: think this is a bounce back From. Milwaukee they're not this,
- 58:46Speaker 2: bad SO i.
- 58:48Speaker 1: Think they will show up with focus.
- 58:50Speaker 2: Here they're gonna have a arrested bullpend here as, well
- 58:52Speaker 2: so Will, toronto although if you look at the, Bullpens
- 58:55Speaker 2: milwaukee has the better bullpend, here ALTHOUGH i think they've
- 58:57Speaker 2: fallen off a. Bit, yeah they're actually nineteenth in whip,
- 59:01Speaker 2: now which is not, great although their era is a
- 59:03Speaker 2: bit better than that if you want to count. That
- 59:05Speaker 2: But toronto's bullpen has really struggled so, far even though
- 59:08Speaker 2: they're actually.
- 59:08Speaker 1: Above them and.
- 59:09Speaker 2: Whip BUT i Think milwaukee does have the better bullpen,
- 59:12Speaker 2: here So i'm gonna give them a slight bullpen advantage. There,
- 59:16Speaker 2: Offensively milwaukee has hit pretty. Well they're eighth right, now
- 59:19Speaker 2: and The Blue jays have struggled a little. Bit they've
- 59:22Speaker 2: had some injuries to deal. With they're at eighteenth right
- 59:24Speaker 2: now in, ops So i'm gonna Give milwaukee an advantage there.
- 59:28Speaker 2: Too so it does sound like there's some advantages For
- 59:30Speaker 2: milwaukee here. Now, TORONTO i think they're also in a
- 59:34Speaker 2: focused spot, though because they just lost twice at home To,
- 59:36Speaker 2: minnesota pretty ugly losses For toronto. There it might be
- 59:41Speaker 2: good for them to just go out on the road.
- 59:42Speaker 2: Focus SO i think this is a focused spot for
- 59:45Speaker 2: both teams coming off some pretty ugly.
- 59:47Speaker 1: Losses SO i think that's kind of a.
- 59:49Speaker 2: Wash it's a good spot for both teams, here which
- 59:51Speaker 2: might mean that you're gonna get more focused defenses and pitching,
- 59:56Speaker 2: here and again the offenses might cool off a little.
- 59:58Speaker 2: Bit having yesterday. Off Kevin gossman is pitching for The Blue.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: Jays he's off to a really good start this season
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: two point eight point six to three. Whip, NOW i
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna continue to be this, good but
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: he is pretty. Good he has a ridiculous twenty six
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: to two strike out walk ratio so far this season
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: in seventeen to third innings with only nine hits. Allowed
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: but he did struggle a little bit more in his last,
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: outing but it was also against The, dodgers so maybe
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: give him a little bit of a pass for that
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: because we know The dodgers are elite on the offensive. Side,
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: now this is going to be his first road, start,
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: though so maybe that's a little bit of an issue
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: that he hasn't pitched away from home. Yet last year
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: he was actually better on the road than at, home,
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: though so it might not be that big of an.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: Issue going up Against.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: Milwaukee he does have really good numbers in seventy nine
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: career bats twenty six to five strike out walk, ratio
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: one seventy seven batting average, allowed.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: Five h five.
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: Ohps he looks like he does match up pretty well
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: against this. Lineup and then on the other, Side Jacob
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: zerowski is pitching off to a good start this. Season
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: he came up last, year and you, know he's a
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: very talented young. Pitcher mostly that he throws harder than
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: anybody else in baseball besides Like Mason. Miller But Mason
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: miller's you, know coming out of the bullpen and only
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: throwing like one. Inning miz is going out there and
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: he's still throwing one hundred miles an hour and like
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: the third. Inning he's got a three point three ONE,
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: era one point zero four whip so. Far that's all
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: pretty good, stuff pretty good, groundball flyball, rate twenty eight
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: to nine strike out walk, ratio and sixteen and a
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: third inning so far eight hits, allowed so he's been
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: pretty much. Unhittable that hit rate is really. Good the
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: walks are a little bit of a concern. Though he's
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: walked multiple guys in every. Outing he's striking out guys
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: at a really high.
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: Rate that's what he. Does he blows guys.
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: Away but you'd like to see him get those walk numbers, down.
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: Man and he throws too many.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Pitches you, know he's getting close to one hundred pitches
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: through five innings in pretty much every start. Here he's
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: got to do something about. That he's not pitching. Efficiently
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: that's the. Problem, like if you're gonna be an elite,
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: pitcher you gotta go deep burnto games and save your
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: bullpen a little bit, more, man you, know help out your. Bullpen,
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: Now TORONTO i believe has never faced him. Before, yeah
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: so he does have that. Advantage Like i've been talking
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: about these starting pitch you, know these, pictures especially when
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: they're really good like, miss they have an extra advantage
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: when the hitters have never faced him. Before, so needless to,
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: say you know What i'm about to say, HERE i
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: like the under in this, game and this one almost
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: made the cut for. Me the total is a little,
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: bit you, know a little bit iffy.
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: There it's at. Seven maybe you'll find a seven and
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: a half out. There it is on that key.
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: NUMBER i would make sure to get at least that
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: key number going under the seven. There that is the
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: WAY i would. Lean you do have rested. Bullpens the
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: bullpens are a little bit questionable, Though so that's kind
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: of WHERE i was kind of, LIKE i don't think
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: this is good enough to put it on my card right.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: Now does that MEAN i can never give, out you,
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: know an under with these two? TEAMS i don't, know
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: but the MORE i thought about, IT i was, like,
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: WELL nis doesn't go deep into.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: GAMES i don't.
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: Know maybe the fact that the bullpens arrested will help, out,
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: Though LIKE i do still lean. UNDER i just don't
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: think it was strong. Enough if you want to go
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: first five, under you could do that, too you, know
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: maybe that's slightly. Preferable we don't really see percentages yere
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: on the total, yet SO i don't really.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: Know But, under.
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: You, know in some way does make sense to me
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: in this. GAME i like the starting pitching matchup quite
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: a bit there first five. Innues you're probably looking at
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: about a three though in that, game with how well
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: those pitchers are, Pitched milwaukee looks like they're taking the
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: money on the. Side they're up to minus one twenty
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: three for minus one oh, five eighty three percent of the,
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: tickets ninety four percent of the cash on. Them so
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: do with that information what you. Want it looks Like
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: milwaukee is getting the money in that. ONE i don't
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: have a great opinion on the side in that. GAME
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: i do, think, WELL i GUESS i do kind of
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: agree with it Because, MILWAUKEE i, think is coming off
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: the more embarrassing games staying at. Home and WHILE i
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: don't think they have a huge starting pitching edge, HERE
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: i think they're open is probably the better one and
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: their offense is probably. Better SO i Guess i'll agree with. That,
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: garrett what's up, Man good to see you. Again you're
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: not gonna like WHAT i have to say about The
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: hornets game, here Which.
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to it The i'm gonna do. It
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: i'm DOING nba at the end of the.
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: Show we gotta go through some BORING nhl first, here
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: BUT i gotta. FINISH i have one more baseball play
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: to give out here, too and it's not in this
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: Game cleveland And Saint. Louis, Here i'm hearing a bunch of.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: BEEPING i think it's like my washing machine or. SOMETHING
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: i FORGOT i. WAS i must have been running.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: THAT i don't, KNOW i forget, anyway these teams did play.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: Yesterday cleveland won nine to three, yesterday so you might
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: argue there's a bounce back opportunity For Saint louis, here
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: ALTHOUGH i really don't Think Saint louis is a good.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: Team.
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: Uh looking at the bullpen usage for the teams, Yesterday
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: cleveland used four relief, pitchers which is not good uh
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: three For Saint. Louis ALTHOUGH i Think Saint louis has
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: the inferior bullpen, Here i'm looking at the offense, first
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: THOUGH i Apologize i'm not segueing well. Here cleveland has
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: a sixteenth best offense right, Now Saint louis.
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: TWENTIETH i don't think either offense.
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: Is that, good BUT i THINK i do Agree Saint,
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: louis you, KNOW i, mean they're really kind of in
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: a rebuilding, year So i'll probably Agree cleveland does have
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: the slightly better offense. Here bullpen, WISE i Think clevelan's
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: is the better, bullpen but right now not. Great eighteenth
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: IN whip and THEIR era looks a lot worse than.
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: That but The cardinals are still worse in Both Whip ANDY.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: Ra they're twenty. First bullpen, wise.
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: Their bullpen is pretty much stunk this, Year SO i
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: do Think cleveland has the better bullpen, here even though
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: they're not quite as. RESTED i think they still have
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: a bullpen. Edge cleveland Is Joey cantillo pitching. Here decent
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: numbers to start the season two point four to FIVE,
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: era one point two to THREE. Whip you'd like to
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: see that whip be a little bit. Better it's too many, walks,
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: dude multiple walks in every. Start hasn't gone deep into
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: any start, yet But cleveland has.
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: Won all three of. Them he hasn't allowed that many.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: Hits he has a high strikeout rate twenty to, seven
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: strike at walk ration in fourteen to two thirds with
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: eleven hits. Allowed everything's pretty good here except for the, walks.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: Dude that's the.
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Thing he's got to get that wildness under control here
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: and pitch a little bit more. Efficiently, maybe although they
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: have been pulling him around the ninety pitch mark, here
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: they don't want to like blow out his. ARM i
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: guess that we don't Have Dusty baker managing. Anymore but,
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: YES i think his ceiling is. HIGH i think he
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: has the higher ceiling out of these two. STARTERS i
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: think he has the better. Stuff And Saint louis basically
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: has never faced him. Before ureus is the only one
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: who's faced, him and he's one for two with a
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: strikeout off of him in a single was the. Hit
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: SO i think Can't TiO does have an extra edge,
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: there not having been seen before by that.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: Lineup michael McGreevy For Saint.
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: Louis he's basically been their best starter this, season which sounds.
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: Insane McGreevy, again AS i sometimes, say sounds like he
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: should be In. Boston, baby bring the Eye schmidna over.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: Here two point one SIXTY ra point seven to eight.
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: Whip those are solid. Numbers he's not a strikeout, guy
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: but he really is keeping guys off the base pass
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: and he's not allowing many. Runs he's gone six innings
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: to two of his three starts ten to two strikeout walk.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: Ratio he has a good, command but again he's not like,
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: AGAIN i Think cantio a. Well Obviously cantillo has the
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: way better strikeout, Stuff SO i don't know.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: IF i fully trust.
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: McGreevy but he's only allowed eleven hits in sixteen to
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: two thirds innings so. Far don't like his fly ball.
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: Rate it's higher than his ground ball. Rate but he
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: might have an extra edge here Because cleveland has never
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: seen him, before so both pitchers have that advantage of
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: never having been seen before by the opposing. Hitting you might, think,
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: well that means UNDER i don't know about this, game.
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: MAN i just don't know what to think about these two.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: STARTERS i think this game is very difficult to handicap
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: sixty four percent of tickets on the under and sixty
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: four percent of the cash on the, over even though
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: it dropped off that key number nine down to eight
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: and a half. HERE i don't, know oh, MAN i
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: don't know about the total in that. One it looks
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: like the money's coming back in on the over after
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: dropping it off the key number. NINE i could see
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: the arguments for, it because both bullpens could be a
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: little bit questionable, Here BUT i don't know IF i
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: THINK i would probably lean under though in that, game
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: based on the unfamiliarity with the pitchers, there the fact
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: that both pitchers could actually do pretty well, here maybe
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: under verse five is a little better to avoid the,
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: bullpens Especially Saint louis with how bad their bullpen has.
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: Been under verse five makes. Sense the money's also coming
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: in On. Cleveland they're at minus one point fifteen, here
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: seventy nine percent of tickets.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: Ninety eight percent of the cash on.
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: THEM i don't THINK i disagree, AGAIN i think Can't,
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: tillo you could argue has a little bit of an
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: advantage BECAUSE i think just his ceiling is, higher BUT
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: i Think cleveland has the better bullpen and offense, here
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: SO i don't really disagree With cleveland, there although you
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: could argue for maybe a bounce back From Saint louis.
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: There you Think charlotte's gonna, WIN i am going to they,
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: might But i'm gonna push back on. That, Yes Sir,
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: BRAVES i did talk about The braves game. ALREADY i
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: found that game to be almost impossible to.
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: READ i did not have a good opinion on The
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: braves game at.
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: ALL i have basically no opinion on, it BUT i
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: should On Ronaldo lopez, THOUGH i think he's a complete
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: asshole and a, fat tired, fuck AND i think he
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: should be out of the.
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: League colorado At. Houston this is my last.
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: PLAY i told you this is gonna be, ugly so
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: you probably know what it. Is, yeah we're getting so
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: ugly today that we're gonna have plays on The White
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: sox and The rockies.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: Here but allow me to. Explain we're gonna play The.
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: Rockies if you want to go just run line on,
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: this you could do, that but it was out there
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: at minus one, thirty SO i was, like let's split the,
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: Bet like even if you do it at minus one.
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: Thirty i'd say you should probably put some amount on
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: the money line here at plus one. Sixty if you
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: want to go all money line and put just less
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: money on it to win, MORE i think there's an
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: okay chance That colorado gets this, win so you could do.
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: That but we're gonna go a little bit.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: More risk averse, here AND i can show you the
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: good old Johnny Ma baseball run line calculator here doing
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: it out of to win one hundred, here you're getting
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: a plus one thirteen price if you create a plus
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: one run line. Here of, course you can find this
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: at a book. Too you can go plus one at
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: LIKE dk and some of the other books they.
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: Give you run.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: Lines it's the possibility you can find a decent price
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: on just playing the plus one run line at one
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: of those books.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: Too so in this, case.
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: To win one, hundred you'd only have to put fifty
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: on the minus one thirty part of, it which would
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: return thirty eight forty. Six and then you put the
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: thirty eight forty six on the money, line which is
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: gonna be you, know the bigger part of the return.
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: There and then the way this works out Is it's
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: basically like playing the plus one run, line where if
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: they lose by exactly, one your BET's gonna, push you.
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: Know so that's what we're doing. Here. Now this is.
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: All to do with the situation pretty. Much we're going
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: with situational place. Here houston is in the worst situation
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: out of any team, today. Dude they're returning home from
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: a road trip that was three series, long including one
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: four game series where they had to play yesterday In,
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: seattle and, Well, houston they've lost eight games in a.
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: Row so everybody's gonna be, like, oh now That houston's back,
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: home they're.
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: Gonna bounce, back, right because they've been better at.
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: HOME i think five of their six wins have come at,
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: Home so, yeah they should be better at, home.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: RIGHT i don't think that's how it, works.
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: Man you know WHAT i always say with these daily sports,
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: here when teams are turned on from long.
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: Road, trips it's a.
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: Distraction you have to get back to home life you
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: got stopped to. DO i, mean how exciting are you
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: gonna get to play The Colorado? Rockies probably not that.
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: EXCITED i think this is a bad, spot. Dude and,
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: Again houston has no rest because they played yesterday In
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: seattle and they're having to travel back To houston from
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: that from a big divisional series where they had some
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: dramatic finishes in the, game not last, night but even,
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: so they played yesterday in like the middle of the day.
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: Yesterday but even, so this is a horrible spot for.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: THEM i, mean they're going up against A colorado team
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: that didn't play, yesterday.
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: So Now houston.
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: Did although they did save their, bullpen they only Used
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: france out of the, bullpen so, Yeah houston's bullpen is,
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: rested so that does take a little bit away from.
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: It but still they have to travel with no time off,
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: here Whereas colorado they just got swept In San diego
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: and they're continuing a road. Trip SO i think this
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: might be more of a bounce back spot and maybe
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: advantageous spot for them because they had, rest they didn't play.
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: Yesterday they're coming in off getting.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: Swept.
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: Now the one thing, is, yeah the one THING i
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: do worry about here besides EVERYTHING i just, said is
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: that this is a revenge spot For. Houston so that
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: worries me a little bit Because colorado just Swept houston In.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: Colorado but Maybe colorado matches up well against.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: THEM i don't. Know like usually WHEN i see, This i'm,
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: THINKING i want to go.
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: With the team that got, swept like it's the recent revenge,
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: angle you know WHAT i. Mean BUT i don't Think
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: colorado is gonna Overlook, houston because that's the, thing that
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: recent revenge thing the angle is that the team that
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: won is gonna overlook that. Team but do you really
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: Think colorado's gonna overlook anybody after they just got swept
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: By San. DIEGO i don't think they, will AND i
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: DON'T i Think houston has more of a possibility of
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: Overlooking colorado. HERE i Know colorado's bad on the, road
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: they're two and, Eight houston's five and two at. Home,
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: YES i went over. That that's a little bit of
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: an indicator, that you, know maybe we should worry about.
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: This but Then i'm looking at the pitching, here And i'm,
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: thinking you, KNOW i think this kind of makes.
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: Sense, look well we're looking at the.
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: Hitting, Yes houston has a better, offense, Fine colorado hasn't
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: been that bad on.
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: Offense though where are they at?
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: Here they're, well they're twenty second, Now so, YEAH i
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: don't Think colorado is that good. Offensively, Obviously houston's had
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: the better offense so. Far, fine BUT i Think houston
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: is going to regress offensively at some, point maybe not
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: in this, game but at some, point and well maybe
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: they're already kind of starting. To colorado said the thirteenth
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: best bullpen so far this, year, Though now will that?
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: Continue maybe, not BECAUSE i don't think they have that
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: talent of a, bullpen But houston's bullpen is an absolute.
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: Disaster they're the worst bullpen in baseball in both era
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: and whip horrible bullpen From houston so. Far SO i
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: do think we have a bullpen edge With colorado, here
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: which is probably good because we don't even know who's
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: starting for, Well, COLORADO i guess did Announce lorenzen is
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: gonna start, here.
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: BUT i actually liked, that SO i handicapped it both.
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: Ways SO i was, thinking Maybe colorado is gonna go
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: with the bullpend game, Here AND i actually still would
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: Go colorado even if they go with the bullpen, game
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: because they at least have a rested bullpen that's been pitching.
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: Okay but now it looks Like lorenzen will make the start,
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: here AND i know who's.
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: Gonna want this. Guy his number, SUCK.
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: I, know eight point three SIX, era two point one
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: four whip atrocious, NUMBERS i. Know but both of his
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: starts well after his first, START i should, say his
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: other two starts were at, home and he really basically
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: just got jacked up in one start against The, phillies
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: and that was against a really good.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: Offense in course, field and that's skewing his. Numbers.
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: Now the weird thing is he did pitch three days.
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: Ago he pitched an inning Against San, Diego so he
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: might not go full starter's workload, here which is WHAT
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: i was. SAYING i think he might come out there
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: and maybe go about three innings in this. Game But
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: i'm still okay with that as far as what we're doing.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: HERE i think he might go out there and he
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: might actually do. Okay he's familiar with pitching in this
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: ballpark because he was With texas for a. While he
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: was on The royals last, year and he actually has
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: good numbers Against, houston SO i am factoring that into the.
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: Handicap they have seventy two at bats against, him fourteen
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: to eight strike out walk.
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: Ratio that's not.
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: Good for, him but one sixty seven average allowed five
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: to twenty eight. Ops These houston inters have not done
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: a lot of damage Against, lorenzen SO i think he
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: can hold serve. Here and he has another advantage because
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: he's pitched this. Year and guess who. Hasn't, yeah that
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: would Be houston's listed starter, Here Colton, gordon who made
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: his major league debut last year at the age of twenty,
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: six and he was. Bad he had a five point
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: three to four ear ram one point four to two
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: whip last.
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: Year do we trust? THAT i don't THINK i.
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: Would his strike out walk rate was actually pretty good
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: seventy two to, nineteen so maybe there is room for improvement,
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: there BUT i don't trust it at, all AND i really.
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: Don't he had an extreme.
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: Fly ball, rate, too Which i'd like this more of
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: you was pitching a course, field but still he allowed
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: twenty one home runs in eighty six innings and one
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: hundred and three. Hits he was unbelievably hit aable last.
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: Year he's just leaving pitches like right out over the
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: plate that hitters can just jack up into the. Stands
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: and while HE i guess kind of pitched a little
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: bit better down the, stretch not, really BECAUSE i mean
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: he still was walking, guys SO i don't, know even
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: though he wasn't walking guys earlier of the. Season, really,
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: YEAH i don't Think gordon is good. MAN i just,
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: don't even THOUGH i don't even know If colorado has
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: faced him. Before actually they. HAVE i did look at
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: this Or colorado has fourteen at bats against. Them they're
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: seven to fourteen offen with two of them, runs one,
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: walk one, Strikeout so they have a five hundred batting
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: average against them and sixteen oh five. Ops So, colorado
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: even THOUGH i know it's a really small sample, Size.
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: Gordon is totally.
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: Untrustworth The colorado's lit them, up and you're gonna Get.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: Gordon Plus houston's bullpen.
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: Plus given the situation here with the rest, EDGE i
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: Think colorado has some advantages in this. GAME i think
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: they have a starting pitching edge here and a bullpen
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: edge here and the rest.
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: Edge so let's do.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: It let's play The rockies with a split bet, here
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: and we don't see the percentages, yet but the money
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: looks like it's, agreeing With houston dropping for minus one nine.
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: In minus one seventy.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: Nine how Can houston be that heavy of a favorite
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: With Colton gordon on the, mound plus the bullpen that they,
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: have that's just absurd to.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: Me houston is clearly.
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: Overvalued, here even though you would think That houston wouldn't
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: be overvalued because they've been playing poor, Recently but it's
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: because they're playing The Colorado, rockies who you're pretty much
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: gonna get value on The rockies in the market until further.
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: Notice so let's do.
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: It what DID i, SAY i don't. Know that was
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: The Ronaldo lopez. Thing, yeah he's an ass. Dude you
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: can't fist a baseball and try to like break people's
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: faces with. It he should be in, jail which might
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: actually help The. Braves and by the, WAY i think
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: once The braves get any of their Injured striter's, BACK
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: i Think lopez is going to be out of their.
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: Rotation there's the possibility of.
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: It like if they had a healthy, rotation he definitely
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: would not be in the rotation because.
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: They Have strider And schwellenbach And Smith shaver are all
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: on the injured list there for, them and they're all
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: clearly better Than, lopez all, right but you, Know lopez
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: might be better than a couple of the other. Guys
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: they have in the.
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: Rotation maybe maybe not Though seattle At San diego's the
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: other end of that Were seattle played yesterday and they're
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: coming up a very satisfying division sweep Of houston and
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: now traveling To San, diego where you could argue, that,
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: well they'll be focused because they're starting a road.
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: Trip but not a good spot For.
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: SEATTLE i think it's kind of kind of a letdown
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: spot they played.
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: YESTERDAY i don't Love seattle.
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: Here they did rest their, bullpen and their bullpen is
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: pretty good and the only is two relief. Pitchers just,
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: Say seattle's pretty good at managing their. Bullpen so, yeah
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: their bullpen is not in bad. Shape and that's kind
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: of Where i'm, like, Well i'm not gonna wind up
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: actually giving you this out as a play or.
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: Anything. Here San diego did not play. Yesterday they're staying at.
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: Home they also did have a divisional, sweep BUT i
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: don't know how satisfying it is to sweep The Colorado
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: rockies as far as.
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: The pitching is concerned.
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: Here, yeah LIKE i was, Saying mariners have a good,
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: bullpen so we should actually look at the bullpen's. Here
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: they're second in the major bullpen stats here right, now
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: they might have the best bullpen ra, actually so, yeah
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: they're a good, bullpen we know. This as far As San,
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: diego they're a good bullpen as, well. Though San diego's fourth,
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: now and we know They San diego had a very
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: good bullpen last year and that's pretty much still the,
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: case and they, have you, know the best closer in
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: baseball and. Whatever as far as the hitting is, Concerned
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: San diego has not hit well this year, though but
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: they've been moving.
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: Up they've moved up to the middle of the.
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: Pack after a bad, start so their offense is coming
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: around a little, bit AND i think they are kind
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: of a more mediocre. Offense, seattle their offense has not
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: been able to get it.
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: Going.
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: MAN i think they're probably better than, this but they're
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: in the bottom third right now in. Offense SO i
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: Think San diego probably does have the offensive edge right,
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: now and you could argue they have a slightly better
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: bullpen as, well, maybe but both bullpens are, good but,
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: Yeah San diego is a little bit of a rest
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: edge there starting, pitching, THOUGH i Think brian wo does
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: have the edge, here even though he's not quite as
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: good away From. Seattle this is another pitcher friendly park,
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: here SO i don't think he's gonna do.
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: Bad he's got a.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: One point five YR ra point seven eight whip on
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: the season so. FAR i, mean, yeah that should regress
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: a little. Bit but he's a very good. PITCHER i
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: think he's the best pitcher In seattle's, rotation even though
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: they haven't miss like their third. Starter he's got eighteen
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: innings so, far only a long ten, hits seventeen, strikeouts
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: and four. Walks good stuff From. Wu not a whole
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: lot to say, there he's. Good, Uh he's going up
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: against A San diego lineup THAT i don't believe has
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: hit him that.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: Well.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: No seventy three at, bats seventeen to three strikeout walk,
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: ratio that's all. Good two nineteen batting average allowed is very.
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: Low the only problem is he's allowed five home runs to,
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: them two From tatis and two From, onduhar.
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: So seven oh two ops is a little bit.
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: High but Still wu is good AND i expect him
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: to pitch pretty well. HERE i think the matchup is,
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: fine but he's going up Against Michael, king who is also.
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: Pretty good For San.
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: Diego three point twenty FIVE y three point two FOUR
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: era one point two. Whip the walks have been an
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: issue For, king Though he's done sixteen to two thirds
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: innings so. Far twelve hits allowed us pretty, good but
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: eight walks that is concerning fifteen strikeouts is. Fine the,
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: Walks he's got to get that under. Control man he's
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: walked three or more and two of his three start so,
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: far including his most recent. One BUT i Think king
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: is good up Against. Seattle pretty good numbers in sixty
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: two at bats really, good twenty one to four strike
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: out walk. Ratio two of them runs, allowed but they're
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: both from A rosa, rain so maybe he can pitch
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: around him a little. Bit two twenty six batting average
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: allowed six to sixty. Ops not bad numbers at. All
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: so to, me it does look like this is going
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: to turn into a pitching, duel.
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: You, know Maybe seattle's.
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: BATS i think the continuity, though does help the, bats.
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: Though the fact That seattle did hit, YESTERDAY i think
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: it playing YESTERDAY i think affects the pitching. More But
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: seattle did not use many of the relievers. YESTERDAY i
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: like the under in this.
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: Game.
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: Generally the totals at seven WHICH i think is pretty
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: much where it should. Be he got two pretty good.
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: Bulls LIKE i, said they're not. Unrested. Really you, Know
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: San diego didn't even play. Yesterday but the money looks
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: like it's coming in slightly on the over eighty six
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: percent of the, tickets ninety seven percent of.
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: The cash on the.
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: OVER i would go under in this, game, though probably
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: IF i was gonna play the game at.
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: All seattle looks like they're taking the.
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: MONEY i don't know IF i agree with that up
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: to minus one seventeen sixty four percent of the tickets
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: eighty three percent of the cash On. Seattle the fact
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: That seattle did play yesterday could be in a letdown
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: off of that divisional.
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: SWEEP i don't Love seattle.
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: HERE i think you could make the, argument LIKE i,
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: said That San diego has a better.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: BULLPEN i Think king is not that much worse Than.
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: Wu i'd probably lean slightly To San diego as the
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: home dog in a spot like.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: That you, go what's? Up? MAN i agree with.
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: THAT i did talk about that a little while. Ago,
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: YES i agree with the under in that Game jay's And. Brewers, Yes,
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: basically starting pitching is really the main. Component they're both
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: starting pitchers are, good And mizierowski has an unfamiliarity that
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: should help him there Because toronto's never seen. Him gossman
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: has good numbers Against. Milwaukee so, YES i do like the,
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: under and you have two rested. Bullpends but my hesitation
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: on that was really that miss will basically only give
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: you like five innings because he's not, Efficient SO i
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: would kind of lean more towards making it a first
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: five inning, under although the bullpens are, rested so full
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: game does still make sense to me, There but, YEAH
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: i don't. KNOW i just to, ME i just hesitated
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: a little bit with, it, so you, know BUT i
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: THINK i would limit it to first five maybe Because
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: toronto's bullpen is really. Bad milwaukee's hasn't been great, Either but,
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: yes the bullpens are, rested so that does help the.
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: Bullpens.
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: YEAH i, mean if you wanted to look at like
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: a strikeout, problem, though you're probably gonna get a high
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: number on. That if you want to look at Like
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: mizierowski strikeouts, over you're probably not getting a good number
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: on it, though because everybody knows how good of a
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: strike up pitcher he is so you, KNOW i would
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: agree that he's gonna get a lot of strikeouts, there
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: but the number is probably, bad you, Know and he
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: just doesn't last long enough for me, Either like that sounds.
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: Really, gay but you, know you know WHAT i.
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: Mean like he goes five innings and he throws like
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: a hundred, pitches so you want to see him get
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: more efficient at working through these lineups even though he's
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: a strikeout. Man but, yeah those are my thoughts on
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: that Game texas at The.
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: A's we got the win last night With.
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: Texas that was my only baseball player last, night easy
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: win eight to. One got the good start out Of
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: evaldi last. NIGHT i Think Severn renos struggled as he
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: does in this particular. Stadium we're in this Horrible TRIPLE
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: a stadium at The a's PLAYING i thought it was
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: odd that that total was only at eight and a
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: half and it just snuck over and hit the nine last.
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: NIGHT i was just, like why.
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: Is the total That like usually you see a total
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: of ten in this ballpark and it's at eight and
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: a half again in this. Game but this, GAME i
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: actually think is a better pitching matchup than last night's
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: game was BECAUSE i Think severino is just that bad at.
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: HOME i actually Think springs is better for The a's
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: and even Though gore is not as good AS evoldi
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: probably but, well we're gonna get into that in a.
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: Second as far.
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: As, yesterday The a's they used two pitchers, yesterday so
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: out of their, BULLPEN i, mean which isn't too, bad
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: but their bullpen isn't. Good texas has the better bullpen
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: and ONLY us one relief, Pitcher so you gotta Give
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: texas a bullpen edge here right. NOW i have them
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: tenth just based ON i just arrange it by. Whip
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: as you, know The a's are twenty, Second so, Yeah
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: texas pretty clearly better bullpen. HITTING i think generally The
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: a's do have the better, offense but there's still twenty
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: fifth IN ops right now And texas is, thirteenth so
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: that hasn't really been the case this season so. Far.
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: THOUGH i don't think the gap between the offenses is
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: that crazy skewed Towards, texas BUT i like pitching over.
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: Hitting Mackensey gore pitching For. Texas he's had a big
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: time resurgence so far this.
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: Year man The texas pitching.
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: Coaches they're really, good AND i Think gore was just
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: in a bad organization before him in With. Washington The
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: gore clearly was always talented and had really good strikeouts,
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: stuff and he's been really good this. Season two point
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: seven to sixty, ra a point eighty six, whip twenty
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: five to five strikeout walk ratio in sixteen to third,
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: innings nine hits. Allowed really good numbers. There, man he's
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: coming off a five inning shutout Of. SEATTLE i guess
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: the one thing you could say is you'd like him
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: to go a little bit deeper into these. Games although
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: Maybe i'm just old, school but they are limiting his
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: pitches to basically about ninety every start because they don't
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: want to blow out his, Arms so maybe that is
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: a good. Thing against The, a's he has really bad
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: numbers though in thirty two at bats six to two
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: strike out walk ratio is, fine but, well you'd like
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: to see more, strikeouts, really especially.
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: From a guy like.
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: Him but they have a five sixty two batting average
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: against him thirteen sixty nine.
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: Ops that's.
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: Insane SO i don't know how much we can Trust gore,
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: here although he's in really good form right. Now, though
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: and that's the Thing TEXAS i think is getting the
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: best out of. Him SO i don't actually think he's
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: gonna do, badly but he is having a pitch in
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: This a's, stadium which is really. Bad these hitters have
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: done really well against him, historically so that makes me
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: worry a bit About gore. There Jeffrey springs is pitcher
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: for The. A's he's done well this season so. FAR
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: i don't think he's this, good but he's a serviceable.
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: PITCHER i would say one point four to SEVENTY a
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: or a point seven to six. Whip those are really good.
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: Numbers fifteen to six strikeout walk. RATIO i mean it's
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: the walk number is a little bit, high but it
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: was mostly because he walked a lot Of Blue jays
- 1:28:42Speaker 2: in his first outing and he's kind of faced to, gauntlet.
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: MAN i, mean he's faced The Blue, Jays houston and
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: The yankees and he's gone through that with these. Numbers
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: only allowing eight hits in eighteen to third, innings that's pretty, impressive.
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: Dude with fifteen.
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: Strikeouts, again the six walks is a little bit, high
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: but he's been pretty press is so far this. Season
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: he's only pitched once at, home but it was a
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: good outing Against. Houston seven, strikeouts one walk winner and
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: run all. Out he's been really good in his last two. Starts,
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: now after shutting out The yankees or whatever for seven
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: innings with one hit a, lout do you think he's.
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: Gonna regress a little? Bit?
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: Possibly he's he threw one hundred pitches in the outing before, that,
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: though and he's still pitched well against The. Yankees Against,
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: texas he's got decent numbers and fifty one at bats
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: nine to four strike at walk ratio is not. Good
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: two thirty five batting average is pretty good though low
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: batting average, allowed and seven h three oh ps isn't
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: that high, Either so you might be able to make
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: the Argument springs can hang in this game Against gore
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: based on the starting pitching the matchup.
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: Numbers but the money is coming in On.
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: Texas they flipped him minus one eleven fifty two percent
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: ticket seventy percent of the cash On.
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: Texas texas definitely has the better bullpen.
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: Man so if you are gonna Play texas, here which
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: does look like it's the money, side although it might change,
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: TONIGHT i would go full game if you're gonna Go
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: texas because you want the bullpen advantage on your side.
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: There if you're gonna go The, A'S i would limit
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: it first five, innings probably because you might have a
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: little bit LIKE i think that's where the bigger advantages
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: for The, a's if they have, any is that Maybe
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: springs can compete in the first part of that the
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: first part of that game, There BUT i wouldn't want
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: the bullpens there for The. A'S i keep Saying oakland
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: the homeless as the, total we don't really see much
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: going on. Yet it's dropped a little bit eight and
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: a half juice less to the. Over this is ONE
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: i don't THINK i want to play the total, here,
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: MAN i, mean this is just such an overconducing. Ballpark
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: the eight and a half really doesn't give you much
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: leeway if you want to go. Under even THOUGH i
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: was thinking maybe an undermakes, sense you don't really want
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: to deal With.
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: Oakland's bullpen or The a's.
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: BULLPEN i, Mean gore unfortunately has bad matchup numbers, too
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: SO i definitely have some hesitations if you.
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: Want to try to go under in that.
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: GAME i don't think i'd be able to do, it, so.
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: Yeah that's a.
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: Game i'm obviously staying off of that. GAME i don't
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: like it very.
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: Much Red.
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: SOX i agree with The Red sox. ABLE i, mean
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: there might be room for improvement. There we just haven't
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: seen it. Yet although he is unfamiliar to The Red,
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: sox but that hasn't really helped him in his short
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: career so. Far Sonny gray has looked good so, far
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: even though he's the more known. QUANTITY i think he
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: is the better picture. THERE i think The Red sox
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: have a bullpen advantage as. Well There minnesota bad. BULLPEN
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: i think it's about time That minnesota starts. Regressing, dude
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: they're not this good and doing what they did last.
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: Night that's not gonna happen. Again SO i think it
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: is a bounce. Back even THOUGH i am A Red sox,
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: FAN i don't want to be biased about, it but
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: IF i was, Biased i'd be down in the dumps
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: man BECAUSE i. Am because The Red sox looks so,
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: BAD i think they need to clean out all of their. Coaching,
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: man they need to fire the, manager fire the. COACHES
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: i like the talent on the, TEAM i don't like
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: how they're being. Coached but, yeah IF i was gonna be,
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: biased i'd probably be, like, yeah The Red sox are
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: gonna lose. Again but, NO i agree THAT i think
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: The Red sox are the right side in that. Game
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: it's not one of my plays. Though the last game
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: here not gonna be one of my plays. Either it's
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: a really interesting pitching Matchup mets And dodgers. Here The
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: DODGERS i, think got a really good outing last night
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: From robleski as The mets continue to not be able to,
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: hit ALTHOUGH i Think Juan soto is still out of
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: the line up. Here but The mets are just massively
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: struggling right. Now and we saw this with The mets last. Year,
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: dude The mets just they go on these, massive, massive
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: like horrible.
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: STREAKS i don't know what's.
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: Going on with The mets because their talent is, there
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: like they should be better than.
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: THIS i look at the.
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: Bullpens The dodgers have been pretty significantly improved from last
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: year their ninth in bullpen whip right. Now The mets
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: had the better bullpen last, year but this year that
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: has not been the. Case they are where they even At.
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: Oh, no, wait they're.
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: Fifth what AM i, saying all, right never, mind The
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: mets have had a bad offense this. YEAR i know,
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: That but, yeah The, mets their bullpen does continue to be.
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: Good they probably do actually have a bullpen advantage here
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: over The dodgers because they did have the better bullpend
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: last year and a lot of those guys are still. There, offensively,
- 1:33:10Speaker 2: obviously we know The dodgers are the better. Offense there's
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: no question about. That they're the best offensive. BASEBALL i
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: think the stats are. Correct they're just elite, offensively even
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: historically historically elite. Offensively The mets have really struggled. Offensively
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: they're down at twenty eighth in ops right. NOW i
- 1:33:28Speaker 2: don't think they're that bad on, offense though they can't,
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: be and you know at some point that god bounce back.
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: Here yesterday, though as far as the bullpen, usage The
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: mets used two relief pitchers, yesterday which isn't too. Bad
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: The dodgers used only one for eight. Pitches, Scott, so
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: how did? That how was that even the? Case what
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: happened in the game? YESTERDAY i haven't looked at the box.
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: SCORE i guess MAYBE i will right. Now, DUDE i
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: still have to do hockey AND. Nba, dude this is
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: gonna be one of my longest. Shows Did robleski really
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: pitch that deep into this game last?
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: Night he?
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: Did holy, crap he went eight innings last. Night that's.
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: Crazy and then you know The. Peterson i'm not surprised
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: That peterson had a mediocre. OUTING i, mean that's kind
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: of WHAT i. Expected but, Yeah robleski pitched a lot
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: better than you would. Think ALTHOUGH i did say IF
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: i Maybe robleski was undervalued. There but, anyway we're gonna
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: probably not have an Undervalue dodger team here in this.
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: One although, well, YEAH i don't. KNOW i, mean both
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: pitchers are good. HERE i don't know what my thought
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: was gonna be. There But nolan McClain is pitching for The,
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: mets AND i think he's probably still under the radar
- 1:34:35Speaker 2: because people don't know his name. Yet but he's a
- 1:34:38Speaker 2: very talented young pitcher they brought up last. Year he's
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: been good pretty much. Since he's come, up with a
- 1:34:43Speaker 2: couple of bad starts here and, there but this year
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: two point SEVEN era point eight four whip really good stuff,
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: here twenty to six strikeout walk, ratio eight, hits all
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: out in sixteen and two.
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: Thirds that's all. Good you'd like.
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: To see maybe fewer, walks but at least he's kind
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: of consistent in walking to an, outing which he's good
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: enough to just kind of battle through that type of.
- 1:35:05Speaker 2: Stuff and The dodgers have never seen him, before so
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: he does have that added advantage where he's he has
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: the unfamiliarity there where the opposing lineup has never faced him.
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: Before SO i think he should do actually fairly well,
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: here even THOUGH i know it is against any lead. Offense,
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: Here Yoshinoba yamamoto is pitching four The. Dodgers we know
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: he's really good as, well two point five yra this,
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: year eight point eight nine whip fourteen to two strike
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: a walk, Ratio so if are not a high strikeout,
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: rate but his command has been, there not walking a
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: lot of guys at, all fewer than one hit per inning.
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: Allowed he's pitching.
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: WELL i, mean we know. This you'd like to see
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: maybe his strikeout rate get a little bit. Higher against The.
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: Mets his numbers are actually kind of, mediocre but it's
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: a small sample size of nineteen six to one strike
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: a walk, ratio two sixty three batting average, allowed seven
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: to fifty four. Ops that's not, great although it's such
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: a small sample size that the only extra base hit
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: a home run From, vents is changing the ops quite
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: a bit.
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: There but this might be the spot where The mets
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: actually finally do. Something Man.
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: Dodgers are up to minus one ninety, five eighty nine
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: percent of the, tickets ninety eight percent of the cash on.
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: THEM i THINK i like The mets in this.
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: One we got a low total of seven and a,
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: half which is kind of telling you it should kind
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: of be a pitching duel. HERE i think the unfamiliarity,
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: is you, know being on the side of MCCLAN i
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: think gives him enough of an edge that he can
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: Outpitch yammoto in this. One and THEN i think, again
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: you could make the argument The mets have the better.
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: Bullpen YEAH i. WOULD i THINK i would Lean mets.
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: Eighty.
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: Yeah, again the money is coming in kind of on
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: The dodgers, here but they're gonna be the public. Side
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: the money's coming in on the. Over for what that's
- 1:36:44Speaker 2: worth of fifty eight percent of the tickets and ninety
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: one percent of the cash on the, OVER i don't
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: know about. That you, know an under kind of makes
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: sense to me in this. One these bullpens are not that.
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: Bad the starting pitching looks like a pretty good match up.
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: HERE i would probably lean, under BUT i think the,
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: uh the under is always dicey though when you're talking
- 1:37:03Speaker 2: about The dodgers IN la they hit really well at.
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: Home but, YEAH i Think mets.
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: Make sense to, me and that one man finally busts
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: out of their slump in a game where people don't
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: think it's gonna.
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: Happen, yeah you got it under the radar.
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: Picture that's way better than people realize with The mets,
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: there SO i think that's where the value. IS i
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: would go run line probably on The mets. THERE i
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: don't know what pricing can get on, it but getting
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: them at plus one and a half runs seems like
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: a decent deal to me in that. One, okay, oh
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: let's go to THE nhl here and then we HAVE
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: nba playing GAMES.
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: Nhl HOPEFULLY i can kind of breeze through.
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: THIS i, mean there's not a whole lot left to
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: be decided in THE, Nhl so these last couple of
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: days of THE nhl are like these are like just
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: the whole hum days of THE, nhl, LIKE i guess
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: there's some motivation for some teams fighting for, seeding but
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: the playoff picture is pretty much already, intact like we
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: know which teams are in and which teams are.
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: Out.
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: Now Boston bruins are, in and maybe they have some
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: sort of motivation here because if you look at the standings,
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: here The bruins are in the top wildcard AND i
- 1:38:09Speaker 2: think they do want to maintain that BECAUSE i think
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: they want to Avoid, carolina AND i believe with being
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: the top, WILDCARD i think they would Get buffalo instead Of.
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: Carolina you don't want to Face, carolina, Man so maybe
- 1:38:22Speaker 2: The bruins do have some motivation to get this. Win
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: The bruins have been good at home as. Well don't
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: know what Motivation New jersey might have here is their
- 1:38:30Speaker 2: season is pretty much.
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: Over this is their last game, though so that's the.
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: Thing So New jersey might get up for this game
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: because literally this is their final game of the, season
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: whereas The bruins will continue and play in the. Playoffs
- 1:38:43Speaker 2: so The bruins might start looking. Ahead New jersey did
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: win their last two. Games they do have a little
- 1:38:49Speaker 2: bit of, MOMENTUM i guess, Here BUT i don't. KNOW i,
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: mean coming off a pretty nice win Against ottawan. Overtime
- 1:38:55Speaker 2: as far as The, bruins they just ended a losing.
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: Streak they had a long losing streak and still got
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: into the, player but that was a really difficult. Stretcher
- 1:39:02Speaker 2: they lost To tampa, Twice carolina in, There philly who
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: just made the, playoffs and most of those games on the.
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: Road they somehow escaped with a win against The Blue.
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: Jackets they should not.
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: Have won that. Game i'm telling you that right. Now i'm, Sorry.
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: Josh if you're out there looking at the stats, There
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: columbus dominated that game. Statistically The bruins really got lucky
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: to win that. Game but The bruins didn't need. It
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: they were Already they're already going to be in the.
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: Playoffs it's just a matter of. Seeding but that did
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: break a losing, streak so maybe they will have ended
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: that losing momentum and maybe they show up here in this.
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: GAME i Think swayman is going to play here Because
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: corpusalo played in the last. Game so you'll get the
- 1:39:41Speaker 2: better goaltender for The bruins. Here but the money is
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: going against The bruins or at minus won forty sixty
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: nine percent of the tickets sixty three percent of the.
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: Cash on The, BRUINS i probably agree With New jersey.
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: THERE i think maybe.
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: You get a good effort out of them because they're
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: literally not playing again after, this so they probably want
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: to have a good finish to The sea and SO
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: i THINK i would lean that way a little, Bit
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: whereas The bruins may be looking ahead to the playoffs
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: at this, point AND i think The bruins actually might
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: have another regular season game as. Well, no they, don't,
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: actually my, mistake this is their last, game but they
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: do still have the playoffs coming. Up Playoffs carolina at
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: The New York. Islanders carolina don't know how much they
- 1:40:22Speaker 2: really have to play for.
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: HERE i, mean they have a huge lead Over.
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: Pittsburgh the thing is like they do have a three
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: point lead Over. Buffalo so whole mice throughout the playoffs
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: IS i guess a little bit in question here With
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: carolina Against.
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: Buffalo so that's what they have to play. For is that?
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: Enough i'm not so sure about. That they just lost To.
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: Philadelphia this will be their final, game but they're playing
- 1:40:42Speaker 2: on a back to.
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: Back they just played.
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: Yesterday they're playing a third game in four, days fourth
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: game in six, days fifth game in eight, days and this.
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: Is a seventh game in eleven. Days that is not.
- 1:40:57Speaker 2: Good So, carolina they don't have rest on side coming
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: into this. Game and they did just beat The islanders
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: during that stretch back on the fourth only by one at.
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: Home BUT i don't, know, Man maybe The islanders have
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: a little bit more motivation. Here but then, again The
- 1:41:11Speaker 2: islanders could be in dream crusher mode because we have
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: them On sunday and they, lost and they're officially eliminated
- 1:41:17Speaker 2: now after that. Loss so a lot of times when
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: a team gets officially, eliminated they don't show up with
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: a good performance in the next. Game but they just
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: lost To. Carolina this is their last game of the.
- 1:41:28Speaker 2: Season they get to Play. Carolina maybe they will show
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: up and give you an effort in this one to
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: finish the, season Whereas carolina doesn't really have a ton
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: to play for him might be looking ahead. Here money
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: is indicating On carolina, though even though the money line
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: went up to minus one thirty five on The.
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: Islanders which you know that that has to do with.
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: Motivation though there's no way The islanders would be a
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: favorite like that Against carolina under normal, circumstances you think
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: the public would look at that and, think how AM
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: i Getting carolina as a big underdog? Here the percentages
- 1:41:59Speaker 2: don't bear that out, though seventy one percent of tickets
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: and only sixty percent of the cash on The. ISLANDERS
- 1:42:04Speaker 2: i don't know IF i agree With, carolina. THOUGH i
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: THINK i would actually slightly lean to The islanders. THERE i, mean,
- 1:42:10Speaker 2: again it's really telling that their favorite like. That but,
- 1:42:13Speaker 2: again obviously people are probably gonna know. That well it
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: is Because carolina has nothing to play. For maybe not
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: though like the way the public thinks they might be. Thinking,
- 1:42:22Speaker 2: No carolina is still playing to get the ones to
- 1:42:25Speaker 2: make sure they get the overall you, know whole ice
- 1:42:28Speaker 2: throughout The Eastern conference.
- 1:42:29Speaker 1: Playoffs. WHATEVER i don't, know, MAN i have a slight.
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: Lean towards The islanders there, Though But i'm avoiding this
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: hockey board today.
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: Though you had The Blue. Jackets, YES i agreed with,
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: that as you.
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: Know that one almost made my, card BUT i left
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: it off and INSTEAD i went with The.
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: Islanders and they lost Because montreal.
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: Scored three goals in fifty seconds against, them and that was.
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: It speaking Of, montreal they're At philadelphia. Here, montreal they
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: have a little bit of something to play for here
- 1:42:59Speaker 2: because they're playing to potentially have home ice Against tampa
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: in a first round matchup, here it looks like that's
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: what the matchup is gonna. BE i don't even know
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: if that's that's not completely determined yet, actually BUT i
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: think they are gonna play for something here because they'd
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: like to have home, ICE i would assume in the first.
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: Round so maybe they do have a little bit of motivation.
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: Here they did just beat The islanders On. Sunday they're
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: playing a third game in four and as though in different,
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: cities which is not that. Easy but For philadelphia they
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: might be in a letdown spot because they just clinched
- 1:43:30Speaker 2: a playoff spot and they had not been to the
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: playoffs for a, while and for a team Like, philadelphia
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: that's their, goal like they want to make the, playoffs
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: and after not making the playoffs for like a couple of,
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: YEARS i think at least that's a big deal making
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: the playoffs. Again and they did it by Beating carolina
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: in a shootout last night in dramatic. Fashion SO i
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: think you could definitely make the argument this is a
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: letdown spot here for.
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: Them they're in the.
- 1:43:54Speaker 2: Playoffs, yes they have a chance to actually Overtake pittsburgh
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: here and get into a home game or a home
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: series in the first. Series BUT i don't know if
- 1:44:03Speaker 2: that's gonna be enough in a case like, this especially
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: BECAUSE i Said montreal has the same. Motivation it's just
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: that they're in a better situational spot With rest here as.
- 1:44:11Speaker 2: Well But montreal's all the way up to minus one ninety,
- 1:44:14Speaker 2: HERE i think probably for that, Reason LIKE i would
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: not be able to lay a price like that in
- 1:44:19Speaker 2: this game with the road team. There, YES i Like
- 1:44:22Speaker 2: montreal in the. GAME i think they'll win the, game
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: BUT i don't think there's a way to play it, here,
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: man unless you want to Go montreal over their team.
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: Total that might be a way of attacking it where
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: you can get a better number on. That you're probably
- 1:44:32Speaker 2: gonna be asking them to score four goals in the, game,
- 1:44:36Speaker 2: though but maybe that would be the better approach BECAUSE
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: i just don't think you can lay minus one.
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: Ninety we don't.
- 1:44:42Speaker 2: See the percentages, yet but, YEAH i think the situational
- 1:44:44Speaker 2: setup is better For montreal all. There washington At columbus
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: is the first game on THE espn doubleheader. Here both
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: of these teams are eliminated, now so they might both
- 1:44:54Speaker 2: be kind of in dream crusher. Mode so what do
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: we do with this? Game washington is, eliminated even they
- 1:44:59Speaker 2: won three games in a, row and they've won a
- 1:45:02Speaker 2: bunch of games down the. Stretch we had them in
- 1:45:05Speaker 2: two of those games Against toronto AND i think the
- 1:45:07Speaker 2: first game Against pittsburgh, maybe or, no it was the
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: second game Against, PITTSBURGH i, guess, Yeah so we had
- 1:45:12Speaker 2: them in two out of those three. Games we got
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: wins on both of them as part of the streak
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: THAT i have on the s screen. Here but will
- 1:45:19Speaker 2: they really care now about going To columbus for a
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: final game where the game is pretty meaningless? HERE i don't, know,
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: Man Maybe columbus the game means a little bit more.
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: Because they're at.
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: Home they did just lose at. Home they should have
- 1:45:30Speaker 2: won that game against The. Bruins probably didn't. MATTER i
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: don't think they were gonna make the playoffs. Anyway but
- 1:45:35Speaker 2: you do have to worry about the dream crusher Because
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: columbus was trying to stay alive and they got eliminated
- 1:45:42Speaker 2: with that loss pretty, much so they could be in
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: the dream crusher.
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: Mode but they get to host.
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: A game ON, espn, man and it's the last game
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: of the, season so maybe the motivation is still a
- 1:45:51Speaker 2: little bit stronger For columbus.
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: Here but the money is indicating On.
- 1:45:54Speaker 2: Washington columbus up to minus won thirty three sixty four
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: percent of take at sixty one percent of The. Columbus
- 1:46:00Speaker 2: so the money right now is Saying carolina And washington.
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: Here this one is harder for me to read The Washington.
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: COLUMBUS i don't, know, Man my initial gauge on that
- 1:46:10Speaker 2: was just slightly lean Towards columbus, Though so do with
- 1:46:13Speaker 2: that information what you.
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: Want but Obviously i'm staying. Away anaheim At.
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: Minnesota anaheim just clinched a playoff spot by. LOSING i
- 1:46:21Speaker 2: believe That vancouver they got in, anyway THEY'RE i think
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: they have a chance to move up in the playoffs,
- 1:46:28Speaker 2: too because they have two games. Left but you gotta
- 1:46:31Speaker 2: think they might bounce back from a bad loss To
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: vancouver and with still a little bit of motivation. Here
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: WHAT i used the wrong the wrong window, there the
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: wrong tab hang. ON i wanted to look at the
- 1:46:43Speaker 2: standings here Because anaheim they're not necessarily done, Yet, like,
- 1:46:46Speaker 2: yeah they made the, playoffs but they did it by
- 1:46:50Speaker 2: having a horrible loss to the worst team in. Hockey
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: they're playing a Good minnesota team, here And anaheim does
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: have a chance to move up and get a home
- 1:46:58Speaker 2: serious here because their, division they're in his so close
- 1:47:01Speaker 2: and they're really good at, home so them having home
- 1:47:03Speaker 2: advantage does matter quite a. Bit AND i think they
- 1:47:06Speaker 2: will show up for this game Against, minnesota even though
- 1:47:08Speaker 2: they did just clinch a playoff, spot and that is
- 1:47:11Speaker 2: a pretty big. Deal, minnesota, though they're just playing out
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: the stretch on cruise. Control, man they've lost Six they
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: lost three games in a, row and they lost six
- 1:47:19Speaker 2: to three in their last game to a Bad Saint louis,
- 1:47:22Speaker 2: team but that was. Yesterday they're returning over from a road.
- 1:47:25Speaker 2: Trip it wasn't a long road, trip but these road
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: trip returns are still tricky, spots you, know where you
- 1:47:31Speaker 2: might not get totally up for the.
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: GAME i know it is their final.
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: Regular season game and home, game but they might already
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: been looking ahead to the playoffs. Now, man In, minnesota
- 1:47:39Speaker 2: they're like locked in to this three, seed AND i
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: don't think they can move up or.
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: DOWN i think they are literally locked into that.
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: Seed so they have nothing to play for, here and
- 1:47:48Speaker 2: on a back to, back playing a fourth game in six,
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: days all in different, cities and actually it's a seventh
- 1:47:54Speaker 2: game in eleven days with travel between every one of those,
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: games pretty difficult Spot Man, minnesota and again they look
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: like they just turned on cruise control because they have
- 1:48:03Speaker 2: nothing to play for. Here anaheim has something to play.
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: For but then, again that's Why anaheim is. Favored but
- 1:48:09Speaker 2: it is a more digestible. Price let's say minus one
- 1:48:13Speaker 2: of five would have been a lot, better but minus
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: one thirty is not that. Bad seventy eight percent of,
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: tickets eighty nine percent of the cash On. ANAHEIM i.
- 1:48:20Speaker 2: AGREE i would Go anaheim in that. Game still not
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: a horrible price on the money, line if you want
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: to do, that that would be the WAY i would.
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: Go winnipeg At. Utah winnipeg just got eliminated as. Well
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: we took that loss with it last. Night they had
- 1:48:33Speaker 2: a really bad. PERFORMANCE i don't know what that. Was
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: back to back now going into elevation of Like utah
- 1:48:40Speaker 2: could be in the Dream crusher off of that. LOSS
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: i don't know IF i love the spot here, Man
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: but then, Again, utah, Well, UTAH i, MEAN i think
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: basically they're pretty much locked, in. MAN i think they
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: could tumble to the two the second wildcard instead of
- 1:48:56Speaker 2: staying in the first. Wildcard that's really what they have
- 1:48:58Speaker 2: to play. For but maybe that is big actually, though
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: LIKE i, said with The bruins, There utah probably does
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: want to hang on to that because it means they Avoid.
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: Colorado i'm pretty sure it's how it.
- 1:49:07Speaker 2: WORKS i think If utah is the top, wildcard they
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: draw whoever wins The Pacific division instead Of.
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: Colorado so Maybe utah.
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: Does have motivation just for that Reason. Winnipeg maybe in
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: the dream crusher, Here utah has lost two games in
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: a row really.
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: Well they lost To. Carolina that's not really an ugly.
- 1:49:24Speaker 2: Loss carolina is, good but then a really ugly loss
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: At calgary in their last, game and they did.
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: Not play last.
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: Night the spot does look better For utah here, man
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: and maybe they do have a little bit of motivation.
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: Here i'm gonna lean slightly Towards.
- 1:49:38Speaker 2: Utah they're up to minus one eighty five, now though
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: for minus one sixty. Five it is a bit of
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: a price to lay with, them ninety three percent of,
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: tickets ninety six percent of the cash on. THEM i
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: don't want to do, it but that's probably the.
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: WAY i would.
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: Lean maybe there's a better way of looking at, it
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: Like utah going over their team, total although the money
- 1:49:54Speaker 2: is coming in on the under in that game, too
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: SO i don't. Know there might not be a great
- 1:49:58Speaker 2: way of playing, that but you could The utah split
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: bet puck line money line, thing and then if they
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: win by, one you'll push the. Bet colorado At calgary
- 1:50:07Speaker 2: and these teams both have nothing to play. For colorado's
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: locked into the one they're locked. Into i'm pretty sure
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: they're locked into home ice throughout The Western.
- 1:50:15Speaker 1: CONFERENCE i don't even think.
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: Anybody in The east can catch them, Either SO i
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: think they pretty much have whome ice throughout the entire
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: playoffs locked up Here President's trophy and, everything you.
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: Know but they are also just coming off Beating.
- 1:50:29Speaker 2: Edmonton they just played two overtime games Against vegas And
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: edmonton and Beat edmonton last night on the, road third
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: game in four, days all in different, cities coming off
- 1:50:37Speaker 2: two big, games and they just Beat calgary prior to
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: that On april, ninth three to. ONE i don't see
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: them Taking calgary very seriously here at. All, calgary they
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: get a chance at getting a big win, here at
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: least it's not their final home. Game they are coming
- 1:50:52Speaker 2: off a win Over utah that was in a return home,
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: spot a very weird spot WHERE i didn't think it
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: was a good spot at all for. Them That utah
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: had maybe a little bit to play for, there And
- 1:51:02Speaker 2: calgary still won that game as a home. Underdog any
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: bad return home spot from a long road trip pretty,
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: crazy BUT i think that ended a losing street for.
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: THEM i think they will get.
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: Up for this, game And colorado has really no reason
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: to show up, here which is Why colorado is not
- 1:51:17Speaker 2: a heavy. Favorite but you are still Getting calgary as
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: an underdog. Here colorado did drop all the way from
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: minus one seventy eight to minus one forty, though so
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: some of the value is.
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: Gone BUT i do lean To calgary in this.
- 1:51:28Speaker 2: Game fifty two percent of the tickets On colorado eighty
- 1:51:31Speaker 2: one percent of the cash On. CALGARY i agree with
- 1:51:33Speaker 2: that market read, there but it's just you're not getting
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: as much. VALUE i like, it but again it was
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: one THAT i decided to stay away. From but, again,
- 1:51:43Speaker 2: Yeah colorado has literally nothing to play for there But.
- 1:51:45Speaker 2: Calgary they are coming off a big win Over utah,
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: though SO i don't. Know i'm staying, off BUT i
- 1:51:50Speaker 2: Like calgary in that. One if they're not gonna take them,
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: seriously then why do you think they're gonna win by
- 1:51:59Speaker 2: Multiple like those are conflicting. Statements, OKAY i don't even
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: Think colorado's gonna win the. GAME i Think calgary is
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: gonna win the game. OUTRIGHT i think it's.
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: A total no show spot For.
- 1:52:11Speaker 2: Colorado but, yeah if you if you don't think they're
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: gonna take them, seriously, YEAH i don't understand that.
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: Logic that's like the whole reason.
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: For making a play is fading teams where you don't
- 1:52:24Speaker 2: think they're gonna take a game. Seriously pittsburgh At Saint
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: louis ON. Espn this is the second game of THE espn.
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: Doubleheader this is an ugly. Game pittsburgh maybe has something
- 1:52:35Speaker 2: to play for because they could potentially fall out of
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: having a home series. HERE i think it's almost guaranteed
- 1:52:42Speaker 2: that they have to Play philadelphia. Here maybe not totally, guaranteed, Though,
- 1:52:46Speaker 2: no it is because The bruins And auto are both
- 1:52:48Speaker 2: in the other. Division so, YES i think it is
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: guaranteed you're gonna get Any pennsylvania matchup in the first,
- 1:52:53Speaker 2: game and it's just a matter of who's gonna be at.
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: Home so that is What pittsburgh is playing for.
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: HERE i don't know if that's enough motivation, though but
- 1:53:00Speaker 2: that is something at, Least and they're coming off of
- 1:53:02Speaker 2: being shut out By washington and losing twice To. Washington
- 1:53:06Speaker 2: now they're playing a third game in four days, though
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: in fourth game in six, days all in different, cities
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: which is not that easy to.
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: Do but maybe they will show.
- 1:53:14Speaker 2: Up for once to bounce back from some ugly losses
- 1:53:17Speaker 2: and playing at least to try to get home, ice you,
- 1:53:20Speaker 2: know which again is.
- 1:53:21Speaker 1: Something.
- 1:53:22Speaker 2: Uh Saint louis had just Beaten minnesota six to, three
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: very satisfying, win and that was last, night so they're
- 1:53:28Speaker 2: on a back to back and, YES i know they're
- 1:53:30Speaker 2: hosting A espn game, here BUT i don't know if
- 1:53:33Speaker 2: they're really gonna get up for this out of conference
- 1:53:35Speaker 2: game here, man and they have one game remaining Against utah.
- 1:53:37Speaker 2: Two i'm gonna Lead pittsburgh in this, one even though
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: the money's.
- 1:53:42Speaker 1: All Over Saint.
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: LOUIS i don't totally get it unless the feeling is
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: Just pittsburgh just no shows in this. Game BUT i
- 1:53:48Speaker 2: don't know that they necessarily will sixty seven percent of
- 1:53:51Speaker 2: tickets On, pittsburgh ninety one percent of the cash On Saint.
- 1:53:54Speaker 1: Louis the money all coming in On Saint.
- 1:53:56Speaker 2: Louis and WHAT i will say is that you See
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: Saint louis up to minus one thirty, six, yeah you
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: probably don't want to fade. THAT i will say that
- 1:54:03Speaker 2: because the oddsmakers are lining them as a favorite like
- 1:54:05Speaker 2: that for a, reason even though it seems like it's
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: gone way too. Far but the public is gonna see
- 1:54:10Speaker 2: that and, think how AM i Getting pittsburg as an?
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: Underdog? Right just LIKE i was talking about With, carolina.
- 1:54:17Speaker 2: You know WHAT i, Mean even THOUGH i THINK i
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: kind of disagreed on The carolina when The islanders are
- 1:54:22Speaker 2: taking more and more money there, too less and less
- 1:54:24Speaker 2: value on The islanders there, Though But i'm kind of
- 1:54:27Speaker 2: Leaning islanders and this, One i'm kind of Leaning. Pittsburgh
- 1:54:29Speaker 2: but the money is saying otherwise on this. One the
- 1:54:33Speaker 2: money's disagreeing with. Me on both of those games in
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: the opposite. WAY i don't.
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: Know, man these games are tough to. HANDICAP i, mean
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: you know Why i'm staying away.
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: Here and then we have The kings At vancouver for
- 1:54:44Speaker 2: the final game. Here The, kings they've clinched a playoff.
- 1:54:48Speaker 2: Spot they're in the last wildcard spot, here but they
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: might have something to play for because they have a
- 1:54:54Speaker 2: chance to actually move out of the wildcard. Completely not
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: only could they move up and Avoid, colorado but they
- 1:54:59Speaker 2: could they could overtake Like, anaheim Even, edmonton WHATEVER i
- 1:55:03Speaker 2: think they could get into potentially like the second spot
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: in The, pacific Which i'm pretty sure is the division
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: they're in because THEY'RE, La SO la does have some motivation.
- 1:55:12Speaker 1: HERE i think they're on a hot streak right.
- 1:55:14Speaker 2: Now but they did win last night to clinch a
- 1:55:17Speaker 2: playoff spot, though so it could be a letdown spot after.
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: That BUT la was in the playoffs last year.
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: Too they're usually in the, playoffs SO i don't know
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: how big of a deal that really. Is, Like, okay,
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: good we're back there again and we just beat a
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: Bad seattle. Team, okay but, yes they've won five games
- 1:55:33Speaker 2: in a. Row they do have some momentum, here but
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: a back to back with, travel third game in four
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: and a is not really that, easy all in different,
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: cities But vancouver is returning over from a road, trip.
- 1:55:43Speaker 1: Which is not a good.
- 1:55:44Speaker 2: Spot AS i always, say that was a quick ish
- 1:55:46Speaker 2: road trip. There they went down to Southern california, though
- 1:55:51Speaker 2: returning home from. That they're playing a fourth game in six,
- 1:55:53Speaker 2: days all in different, cities although not on a back to,
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: back but they Beat San jose And anaheim and shootout
- 1:55:59Speaker 2: and over time in their last two. Games kind of
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: a tricky spot here for. THEM i think maybe they
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: can't really play spoiler here other than spoiling LA's chance
- 1:56:08Speaker 2: of getting a better. Seed they do Have edmonton, next
- 1:56:11Speaker 2: maybe that is a bigger game for. Them the money's
- 1:56:15Speaker 2: coming Into. Vancouver BUT i don't know IF i agree with.
- 1:56:18Speaker 2: THAT la down for minus one nine and minus one
- 1:56:21Speaker 2: fifty here seventy eight percent of tickets.
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: On, them sixty four percent of the catch Of. Vancouver
- 1:56:25Speaker 1: the money is coming Into. Vancouver.
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: NOW i guess what you could say is THAT la
- 1:56:28Speaker 2: just shouldn't be favored like this when their only motivation
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: is that playoff. Motivation BUT i still think it's SOMETHING
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: i don't. Know it's a little bit. Hidden, YEAH i,
- 1:56:39Speaker 2: mean maybe you could argue they're overvalued a little bit
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: and the public is gonna come in on. Them in
- 1:56:42Speaker 2: This vancouver team with nothing to play for a might show,
- 1:56:45Speaker 2: up BUT i don't.
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: Know very difficult to gauge these, games.
- 1:56:48Speaker 2: Man so Again i'm staying away from this board completely
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: for good. Reason and we're gonna go to THE nba playing.
- 1:56:55Speaker 2: Game so it'll be about two hours on the show.
- 1:56:57Speaker 2: Today baseball took really long, though by the, Way, LA
- 1:57:01Speaker 2: i forgot to, mention BUT i always. Do they're also
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: better on the road than they are at, home so
- 1:57:05Speaker 2: they are on the road in that, game which might
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: be better for. Them let's go to THE. Nba we're
- 1:57:09Speaker 2: gonna have a play in THE. Nba we have two
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: playing games, here and it's interesting because usually THE i
- 1:57:15Speaker 2: believe the seven eight games are usually. First i'm pretty
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: sure to give that team a little bit of an
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: extra advantage because the team that loses that, game well
- 1:57:26Speaker 2: you kind of have to know that, though, Right, like
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: how does this? Work the seven eight game has to
- 1:57:30Speaker 2: be played first because the loser of that game gets
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: to play one more. Time, right they get one more
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: shot at it against the winner of the eight to nine,
- 1:57:39Speaker 2: Games so, yeah how does this work exactly right?
- 1:57:42Speaker 1: NOW i don't.
- 1:57:45Speaker 2: Know this is very very strange to. ME i don't
- 1:57:48Speaker 2: fully understand how this. Works oh, NO i, guess because,
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: well you have to have both those games have to
- 1:57:53Speaker 2: get played, first, THOUGH i guess is. Why but, yeah
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: very very weird that the seven eight Game Magic sixers
- 1:57:59Speaker 2: is actually being played on the second day and it's
- 1:58:01Speaker 2: always played the first. Day And i'm pretty sure that's
- 1:58:03Speaker 2: because The flyers are playing tonight at home because they
- 1:58:06Speaker 2: use the same.
- 1:58:07Speaker 1: ARENA i think that's why The sixers game had to.
- 1:58:09Speaker 2: Move but IF i was The Magic i'd be pissed
- 1:58:11Speaker 2: off about, that because The sixers get like an extra
- 1:58:14Speaker 2: day to maybe recover from some of these injuries and.
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: Whatever you. Know the Embiid, SURGERRETS i.
- 1:58:20Speaker 2: Don't even know if he's gonna be back, THOUGH i don't.
- 1:58:22Speaker 2: Know we'll talk about that, tomorrow BUT i don't. Know
- 1:58:24Speaker 2: that seems a little bit weird to me that they're
- 1:58:26Speaker 2: doing it that. Way so we do have one seven
- 1:58:28Speaker 2: to eight match up, here which Is trailblazers and Suns Portland. Phoenix,
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: NOW i will say that since the Stupid Adam silver
- 1:58:36Speaker 2: playing games have, started the seventh seed has made the
- 1:58:39Speaker 2: playoffs every single. Year so they either win this game
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: or they win the next. Game so that is a
- 1:58:46Speaker 2: good sign for the seventh. Seed but the money is
- 1:58:48Speaker 2: coming in on The trailblazers. Here The suns are down
- 1:58:51Speaker 2: to a three point, favorite sixty six percent of tickets on,
- 1:58:53Speaker 2: them sixty six percent of the cash on The. TRAILBLAZERS
- 1:58:56Speaker 2: i don't know IF i fully buy The blazers.
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: Though Man phoenix has a little bit more experience.
- 1:59:01Speaker 2: Here The blazers are very young team haven't really been
- 1:59:04Speaker 2: in a spot like, this Whereas phoenix has been in the,
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: playoffs even though they seem to get knocked out right.
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: AWAY i think they've been in the playoffs most recent.
- 1:59:13Speaker 2: YEARS i always look at how the team finished the
- 1:59:15Speaker 2: season to try to gauge something from. That phoenix had
- 1:59:18Speaker 2: a horrible loss On sunday To, sacramento but it was
- 1:59:21Speaker 2: a game they didn't really. Need phoenix finished the season.
- 1:59:24Speaker 2: Horribly going back To march twenty, sixth.
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: What is this is?
- 1:59:29Speaker 2: This?
- 1:59:30Speaker 1: Wait is this? Real?
- 1:59:30Speaker 2: AM i looking at the Right, No i'm looking at last.
- 1:59:33Speaker 2: Year i'm, like, wait what AM i? Saying that was last?
- 1:59:34Speaker 2: Year i'm, like that can't be, right because, yeah they.
- 1:59:37Speaker 2: DIDN'T i don't think they made the playoffs last, year all, right,
- 1:59:40Speaker 2: yeah all, right never, Mind phoenix finished with a win
- 1:59:43Speaker 2: Over Oklahoma. City, yeah that makes more. Sense so, yeah
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: they could be in a little bit of a letdown.
- 1:59:47Speaker 2: Spot that was a huge win Against Oklahoma city for.
- 1:59:50Speaker 2: Sure so, YEAH i don't love that set up For
- 1:59:53Speaker 2: phoenix coming into this.
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: One, portland, though they're coming up a big win as. Well.
- 1:59:57Speaker 2: Well, actually they beat The clippers and they actually had
- 1:59:59Speaker 2: an e your, win my mistake Against i'm trying to
- 2:00:02Speaker 2: remember what.
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: Happened they Beat. Sacramento i'm all over the place right.
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: NOW i.
- 2:00:06Speaker 2: Apologize, YEAH i was thinking they were coming off the
- 2:00:08Speaker 2: winner of The, clippers but they Beat sacramento after, that
- 2:00:11Speaker 2: which is a much easier win. There so, ACTUALLY i
- 2:00:15Speaker 2: kind of agree that the situational setup is better for
- 2:00:18Speaker 2: The blazers with The suns coming up Beating Oklahoma. City
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: but The suns are at, home and, now if we
- 2:00:24Speaker 2: look at what these teams did during the regular, SEASON
- 2:00:27Speaker 2: i can tell you they played three times and The
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: suns were two and one against The, blazers but the
- 2:00:33Speaker 2: road team won every, game which is very. Strange so
- 2:00:37Speaker 2: The suns went too and oh At portland and The
- 2:00:40Speaker 2: blazers won the one time they played At. Phoenix it's very.
- 2:00:44Speaker 2: ODD i don't remember how recent any of those games.
- 2:00:47Speaker 2: WERE i do think The suns are the better, team
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: THOUGH i do think they have more. EXPERIENCE i don't
- 2:00:53Speaker 2: know THAT i would necessarily lean towards The blazers. Here, Man,
- 2:00:59Speaker 2: YEAH i mean the money is all coming in on
- 2:01:01Speaker 2: The blazers, though so do it that information what you?
- 2:01:03Speaker 1: WANT i don't know IF i love.
- 2:01:05Speaker 2: It the total is very low at two seventeen money
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: coming in the, UNDER i THINK i agree with. That
- 2:01:10Speaker 2: with the teams having a couple of days, off it
- 2:01:12Speaker 2: can cool off the.
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: Offense and now.
- 2:01:14Speaker 2: This is kind of a playoff, atmosphere you, know so
- 2:01:17Speaker 2: you're gonna get more intense defense. Here SO i don't
- 2:01:19Speaker 2: THINK i disagree with an under in this, game and
- 2:01:23Speaker 2: kind of the style of play with these two teams
- 2:01:25Speaker 2: might kind of bear that out.
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: Too maybe not the case With charlotte, though.
- 2:01:31Speaker 2: Looking at the injury, report we do have to look
- 2:01:32Speaker 2: at the injury Report Grayson allen game time. DECISION i
- 2:01:35Speaker 2: think he will play, though if he. Can but it
- 2:01:37Speaker 2: looks Like Devin booker is, Fine brooks is.
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: Fine.
- 2:01:40Speaker 2: Whatever Jeremy grant is probably the biggest deal here For.
- 2:01:44Speaker 2: Portland lillard. DOESN'T i, Mean leward's passed his, prime but
- 2:01:48Speaker 2: he's still. Good but obviously it doesn't. MATTER i, mean
- 2:01:50Speaker 2: he's been out FOR i think the whole. Season Jeremy
- 2:01:52Speaker 2: grant is a big component for The blazers, here BUT
- 2:01:55Speaker 2: i think he's gonna play as. Well he's questionable right,
- 2:01:58Speaker 2: now BUT i expect everybody to go if they. CAN i,
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: mean it's all hands on deck. Here so these games
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: are On Amazon.
- 2:02:04Speaker 1: Prime by the.
- 2:02:05Speaker 2: Way, whoops that was actually the late. GAME i don't
- 2:02:07Speaker 2: know why that game is. First So i'm talking about
- 2:02:10Speaker 2: them out of order. Here my, apologies but that means
- 2:02:12Speaker 2: you get my play THAT i have in the second
- 2:02:15Speaker 2: Game i'm going to talk about instead of the. First all,
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: right excuse. Me i'm choking on water, here, Man i'm inhaling. It,
- 2:02:26Speaker 2: Yes so, ANYWAY i don't have a good read on, this.
- 2:02:28Speaker 2: MAN i MEAN i was slightly le neing towards The
- 2:02:31Speaker 2: suns there just BECAUSE i kind of liked the experience factor,
- 2:02:34Speaker 2: better BUT i guess it wouldn't shock me if they.
- 2:02:36Speaker 2: Lost but then, again The phoenix remembers they had a
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: well look it, up they had a horrendous game the
- 2:02:42Speaker 2: time they played at home Against.
- 2:02:44Speaker 1: Portland we can find it right.
- 2:02:45Speaker 2: Now so they Beat portland on the road by seventeen
- 2:02:50Speaker 2: early in the, season In, november they played In february
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: on the road in one again by, five and then
- 2:02:56Speaker 2: In february they lost ninety two to seventy seven at,
- 2:02:59Speaker 2: home and that was the last time they.
- 2:03:02Speaker 1: Played so actually that does make me Like phoenix a
- 2:03:04Speaker 1: little bit.
- 2:03:04Speaker 2: More phoenix also has been good at home, man which
- 2:03:09Speaker 2: we can look at that. Too But, phoenix, yeah they
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: had a horrible shooting. Game in that, game, dude they
- 2:03:15Speaker 2: had more field goal attempts in the.
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: Game they only went to.
- 2:03:17Speaker 2: The line six, times although they had the same amount
- 2:03:21Speaker 2: of field goal. Makes it looks like it was a
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: very clean game with like no fouls.
- 2:03:25Speaker 1: Called But phoenix also had twenty three.
- 2:03:27Speaker 2: TURNOVERS i, mean they could clean that up quite a,
- 2:03:30Speaker 2: BIT i, Think and even with, that they still had
- 2:03:34Speaker 2: more field goal attempts in the. Game it's just they
- 2:03:37Speaker 2: made none of their, threes they only shot thirty six
- 2:03:40Speaker 2: percent from the, field SO i think there is room
- 2:03:42Speaker 2: For phoenix to do better. Here, portland, though was a
- 2:03:45Speaker 2: three and a half point favored in that. Game you know,
- 2:03:47Speaker 2: What i'm Guessing, phoenix that must have been one.
- 2:03:49Speaker 1: Of their injured games, here so that is something to
- 2:03:53Speaker 1: take into. Account of. Course, Yeah phoenix had nobody playing
- 2:03:57Speaker 1: in that, game, dude so that's why they. LOST i
- 2:03:59Speaker 1: think you just throw this game.
- 2:04:01Speaker 2: Out phoenix didn't have A booker Or brooks playing in that,
- 2:04:04Speaker 2: game so, YEAH i think that you can ignore that.
- 2:04:07Speaker 2: Result SO i actually kind of Like phoenix in the game.
- 2:04:10Speaker 2: TONIGHT i don't know what we're doing with that market read.
- 2:04:14Speaker 2: There phoenix twenty five and sixteen at home as, well
- 2:04:17Speaker 2: that's pretty, good although you need them to cover a
- 2:04:20Speaker 2: small number. Here But portland eighteen and twenty three on the,
- 2:04:24Speaker 2: road that's not, great although you know they've been playing
- 2:04:27Speaker 2: decent down the. Stretch but, YEAH i would Lean, Phoenix
- 2:04:30Speaker 2: but my actual play here is going to be on
- 2:04:32Speaker 2: a road. Team we're gonna Take miami plus six Against. Charlotte, Sorry,
- 2:04:37Speaker 2: garrett this is all about, experience. Man you're giving me
- 2:04:40Speaker 2: like you're telling me that you have A charlotte. Team
- 2:04:43Speaker 2: first of, all they're over, hyped like everybody Thinks charlotte's
- 2:04:45Speaker 2: gonna be one of the teams that makes the. Playoffs
- 2:04:47Speaker 2: but they're gonna have to win two, games. Dude this
- 2:04:51Speaker 2: is the nine to ten. Games so they have to
- 2:04:52Speaker 2: win this game and win again on the, ROAD i.
- 2:04:55Speaker 2: Believe so that's not easy to. Do can they in this? Game,
- 2:05:00Speaker 2: yeah obviously they. Can they're, favored they're at. Home, yeah
- 2:05:03Speaker 2: of course they can. Win so, Yeah i'm taking the points.
- 2:05:06Speaker 2: Here there is the possibility they win and don't cover as.
- 2:05:08Speaker 2: Well BUT i think you're giving me too many points.
- 2:05:10Speaker 2: Here with the more experienced. Team miami's always in these, plays,
- 2:05:14Speaker 2: man And charlotte's this up and coming team that's all
- 2:05:17Speaker 2: the hype right. Now AND i realize they've been playing,
- 2:05:19Speaker 2: Well they've been playing like maybe the fifth best team
- 2:05:21Speaker 2: in the conference for like two months. Now but this
- 2:05:24Speaker 2: is a different, environment, Man this is like. Crunch this
- 2:05:27Speaker 2: is playoff time, now and you're giving ME i think
- 2:05:30Speaker 2: the better coach And Eric spolstra the experience coach, here
- 2:05:34Speaker 2: the experienced guys On miami that have done this. Before
- 2:05:37Speaker 2: out of bio. Hero we need a, Hero we need a.
- 2:05:40Speaker 2: Hero you can also watch loser casts THAT i by the,
- 2:05:44Speaker 2: way Where i'm nanna lose for. TONIGHT i have a
- 2:05:47Speaker 2: couple of ideas for, tonight THOUGH i do that theme
- 2:05:50Speaker 2: song for that, show by the, way the. Parody, anyway
- 2:05:55Speaker 2: it's all about, experience, MAN i think you're just giving
- 2:05:57Speaker 2: me way too many points here With, miami even THOUGH
- 2:05:59Speaker 2: i know this line is line with the last time
- 2:06:01Speaker 2: they played In. Charlotte charlotte was around the same. FAVORITE
- 2:06:04Speaker 2: i think they were five and a, half AND i
- 2:06:06Speaker 2: think there was a previous game where they were seven
- 2:06:08Speaker 2: and a. Half but there might have been some injuries
- 2:06:10Speaker 2: For miami in that. One BUT i believe pretty much
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: everybody's playing in this one Now. Charlotte they also finished
- 2:06:15Speaker 2: the season with a good win against The. Knicks, man
- 2:06:18Speaker 2: they blew out The, knicks and that was the last
- 2:06:20Speaker 2: time they. PLAYED i don't love, that even, though, like,
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: yeah you finished the season on a good. Note, okay that's,
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: cool BUT i think that overvals over values you coming
- 2:06:31Speaker 2: into this. Game, man crushing The knicks like that on the,
- 2:06:34Speaker 2: road that's a really satisfying. Win AND i think it
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: was a game where The knicks kind of had something
- 2:06:38Speaker 2: to play for, too SO i think that Makes charlotte
- 2:06:41Speaker 2: look too. Good and then you Have, miami who you,
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: know they Beat atlanta.
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: To finish the.
- 2:06:45Speaker 2: Season that's a good, win but people are just gonna
- 2:06:48Speaker 2: overlook that even Though atlanta is a playoff. TEAM i
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: Think atlanta's not a horrible.
- 2:06:52Speaker 1: Team so, YEAH i don't.
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: KNOW i Think miami might just be a little bit
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: more under the radar right, now and people don't think
- 2:06:59Speaker 2: they're that. Good EVEN i, SAID i don't think they're
- 2:07:01Speaker 2: really that, good BUT i think the experience.
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: Is gonna speak volumes here.
- 2:07:05Speaker 2: Now if we look at what they did this, Season
- 2:07:07Speaker 2: miami won three out of the four, matchups but a
- 2:07:10Speaker 2: lot of them were early in the, season so, yeah
- 2:07:12Speaker 2: really early in the. Season they Beat charlotte twice In October.
- 2:07:15Speaker 2: NOVEMBER i think you can kind of ignore that a little.
- 2:07:17Speaker 2: Bit those games were both In, miami but you know
- 2:07:22Speaker 2: that was Before charlotte started playing like, this SO i
- 2:07:25Speaker 2: think those games you can kind.
- 2:07:26Speaker 1: Of ignore it a little. Bit then we did have
- 2:07:28Speaker 1: two recent.
- 2:07:29Speaker 2: Games miami came in here To charlotte and they beat
- 2:07:31Speaker 2: The may, Eight so they definitely have the ability to win,
- 2:07:34Speaker 2: here AND i believe they were about seven and a
- 2:07:36Speaker 2: half point dogs in that. Game it looks like it
- 2:07:38Speaker 2: was hero end up out of. Bio did both play
- 2:07:41Speaker 2: in that game? Though then the next game they played
- 2:07:43Speaker 2: very shortly after that on the seventeenth Of, march and
- 2:07:47Speaker 2: this is the last time these two teams, played so
- 2:07:49Speaker 2: this might be what everybody. Remembers charlotte Beat miami by
- 2:07:52Speaker 2: thirty in that. GAME i think this is gonna be
- 2:07:56Speaker 2: a zigzag, DUDE i really do you look at this,
- 2:07:59Speaker 2: game like what happened in this?
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: Game how Did miami lose this game by?
- 2:08:02Speaker 2: Thirty And miami was a five and a half point
- 2:08:04Speaker 2: favorite in this one and now they're.
- 2:08:05Speaker 1: Six you're getting a little bit of value or.
- 2:08:07Speaker 2: Excusing, charlotte of, course was a five and a half
- 2:08:09Speaker 2: point favorite, there now there's.
- 2:08:10Speaker 1: Six, well what happened in this?
- 2:08:12Speaker 2: Game charlotte shot fifty three percent from the field and
- 2:08:17Speaker 2: forty percent from. Three they were plus thirty from three point,
- 2:08:20Speaker 2: range and that is your entire final score right. There
- 2:08:24Speaker 2: miami only hit nineteen percent of their three seven of,
- 2:08:27Speaker 2: them and only shot forty percent from the. Field there's
- 2:08:29Speaker 2: gonna be some regression, here. MAN i, Know, charlotte they're
- 2:08:33Speaker 2: like the Mini. Celtics they like to jack up a
- 2:08:35Speaker 2: bunch of. Threes their Coach lee basically like he's an,
- 2:08:39Speaker 2: assistant a former assistant on The, celtics like a former
- 2:08:43Speaker 2: assistant in that. Organization so that's why they do. That
- 2:08:46Speaker 2: BUT i don't think they quite have it down.
- 2:08:48Speaker 1: Yet. Man, AGAIN i expect some regression here.
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: Though, yeah the three point volume is gonna be there For,
- 2:08:53Speaker 2: charlotte but they're not gonna hit forty percent, again, MAN
- 2:08:56Speaker 2: i just don't think. SO i don't think they're gonna
- 2:08:59Speaker 2: hit more than half for their field goals here. Either like,
- 2:09:01Speaker 2: THAT i Think miami there's a lot of room for improvement.
- 2:09:04Speaker 2: There miami went to the line a lot more in that,
- 2:09:06Speaker 2: game and they were decent on the interior, there which
- 2:09:09Speaker 2: kind of shows you maybe something in that. Game but
- 2:09:11Speaker 2: it was just such a blowout For. Charlotte that, again
- 2:09:15Speaker 2: when you see a blowout like that and then these
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: seems play each other. Again ALTHOUGH i know we're this
- 2:09:19Speaker 2: is a month, later but or almost a, month but
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: still it almost just feels like a, zigzag, like you,
- 2:09:25Speaker 2: know that's WHAT i look for in the. Playoffs if
- 2:09:27Speaker 2: the number is, RIGHT i look for what happened in that,
- 2:09:30Speaker 2: game why was, it you, know such an, outlier and
- 2:09:32Speaker 2: THEN i look to fade that.
- 2:09:33Speaker 1: OUTLIER i think we could do that. Here SO i
- 2:09:36Speaker 1: think we're doing.
- 2:09:37Speaker 2: That plus we're getting more experienced and we're getting decent
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: line value on this. Too and it could be a
- 2:09:41Speaker 2: letdown spot potentially For charlotte here as. Well we're Taking
- 2:09:45Speaker 2: miami plus the points. Here it looks like the money
- 2:09:48Speaker 2: we can't really tell if it's agreeing or not here
- 2:09:50Speaker 2: sixty three percent of the tickets and cash On charlotte
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: here total is higher in this, game of, course at two,
- 2:09:56Speaker 2: thirty because you got better offenses in this.
- 2:09:59Speaker 1: Game The, HORNETS i.
- 2:10:00Speaker 2: Think they play fast, too and they take a lot of.
- 2:10:02Speaker 2: Threes but a fast paced team like, THAT i don't
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: think that translates well into a playoff atmosphere like this.
- 2:10:08Speaker 1: Either. MAN i think The heat might try.
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: To slow this game down a bit and rough it,
- 2:10:13Speaker 2: up you, know make it more, ugly make it more,
- 2:10:15Speaker 2: physical you. Know AND i don't know if The hornets
- 2:10:18Speaker 2: are necessarily gonna have an answer to out Of bio
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: in the middle. Either so, Yeah i'm rolling with The heat, here.
- 2:10:23Speaker 2: Man so that's what we're gonna. Do money coming on
- 2:10:27Speaker 2: in the over in that game as. Well for what that's.
- 2:10:29Speaker 2: WORTH i don't really have a huge disagreement with, that
- 2:10:32Speaker 2: ALTHOUGH i tend to usually kind of lean unders in
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: these first games because you get like the playoff, atmosphere
- 2:10:39Speaker 2: the defenses show up and it takes a little while
- 2:10:41Speaker 2: for the offenses to get.
- 2:10:42Speaker 1: Going but, also by the, way that might hurt.
- 2:10:44Speaker 2: The hornets a little bit having some days, off it
- 2:10:47Speaker 2: might hurt their offensive continuity a little bit. More and
- 2:10:50Speaker 2: that's gonna do. It those are the games, tonight, man all.
- 2:10:54Speaker 2: Right so we have some plays. Today we have the
- 2:10:56Speaker 2: under in The royals and The tigers in baseball founded
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: at seven and a.
- 2:11:01Speaker 1: Half it even, money you might be able to find
- 2:11:02Speaker 1: a better number on. It and we have The White
- 2:11:05Speaker 1: sox on the money. LINE i know how ugly this.
- 2:11:07Speaker 2: IS i get it too, ugly you, know pictures with
- 2:11:10Speaker 2: ugly stats in that first, game and From ervaldez is
- 2:11:13Speaker 2: ugly as. Well Cole reagan's. Isn't he's kind of, sexy so,
- 2:11:17Speaker 2: Anyway BUT i think it's a spot where we're getting
- 2:11:19Speaker 2: pictures that are going to bounce back in that one, Anyway,
- 2:11:22Speaker 2: yes and then we have the situational plays here with
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: the money line on The White, sox the split bet run,
- 2:11:27Speaker 2: line money line on The. ROCKIES i get how ugly this?
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: Always this is WHAT i do, Man it's how you
