- 0:09Speaker 1: Fall systems gone clear, we lived on What is going on?
- 0:43Speaker 1: Shipping Nation YouTube station? Guess who's back back again? We're
- 0:48Speaker 1: back from the All Star break better than ever. Fourteen
- 0:51Speaker 1: games to get you going today. The week has been slow,
- 0:55Speaker 1: but I can promise you one thing and one thing
- 0:57Speaker 1: for sure. Your life is way better because you did
- 1:00Speaker 1: not get in the bottom of a porter John this weekend.
- 1:04Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that video, Matt. That
- 1:07Speaker 1: was some gross stuff. Your week was better than that.
- 1:09Speaker 1: No matter how bad your week was, do you weren't
- 1:11Speaker 1: in the bottom of a porta John. But man, how
- 1:14Speaker 1: is your week? Slow? Week with no real MLB dfs?
- 1:18Speaker 1: What's going on? My man?
- 1:20Speaker 2: I don't know who had a worse week that guy
- 1:22Speaker 2: or ESPN owns Matt Miller, each one of those guys
- 1:25Speaker 2: getting uh yeah, getting uh getting dragged in different type
- 1:31Speaker 2: of ways. But yeah, what a weird, weird story with
- 1:33Speaker 2: the porta Potti. U never seen something like that, hopefully
- 1:35Speaker 2: never see it again. Week was good, boring, happy MLB
- 1:40Speaker 2: is back tonight. Even the All Star Game itself was
- 1:42Speaker 2: pretty boring. So watched a little bit of soccer even
- 1:48Speaker 2: to pass the time, which is a rare.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Little football, a little football, if you will. Any Argentina
- 1:53Speaker 3: fans out there living and dying, they just keep on
- 1:56Speaker 3: doing it. Get to get him to the eighty fifth minute.
- 1:58Speaker 3: That's when they're rocking and rolling. That other story you
- 2:01Speaker 3: alluded to is kind of wild as well. That's been
- 2:03Speaker 3: going on. No porn stash, it has gone. Let's say
- 2:06Speaker 3: hello to some people in the chat. We got a
- 2:08Speaker 3: free ticket to give away tonight too. I forgot about that.
- 2:11Speaker 3: I'm obligated by by my own admission. Jock Jams went
- 2:15Speaker 3: deep fly last night the chat.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Let me know. So, we're gonna be giving a one
- 2:18Speaker 1: one ticket away tonight to some member at Shiping Nation.
- 2:23Speaker 1: You're gonna want to stick around. It's a good one,
- 2:25Speaker 1: uh Matt let me know before the show what it
- 2:27Speaker 1: was gonna be, or we talked about what it was
- 2:29Speaker 1: gonna be, and the answer is great. I got p
- 2:32Speaker 1: p Jo Djon Stoner coming all the way from Colorado's

- 3:11Speaker 1: fathers a change your life for the better. So congratulations
- 3:14Speaker 1: to you Newans in here each and every Friday night.
- 3:16Speaker 1: But uh, Matt, we're gonna get right into it. We
- 3:19Speaker 1: got fourteen games to break all down, including the second
- 3:22Speaker 1: game of a ten to nothing game from Murder Today.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Boston beat up on the Rays. Junior Camnaro had a
- 3:30Speaker 1: scary I guess HVP in the All Star Game. You
- 3:33Speaker 1: never want to see that ever, but especially not in
- 3:35Speaker 1: an All Star game. We're gonna go game by game, though, Matt.
- 3:38Speaker 1: First game up on the slate is gonna be the
- 3:41Speaker 1: Doyers taking on the Yankees. What a game it's gonna be.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki going in to the famed Yankee State would
- 3:48Speaker 1: take on Garrett Cole. Should be a good one, good
- 3:51Speaker 1: real life game. Two top top name teams got the
- 3:55Speaker 1: Dodgers show. Hey, show, he's a person. Show has a
- 3:58Speaker 1: man taking on the Yankees. Taught me through this one.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a really interesting game just because you've
- 4:05Speaker 2: obviously got the two biggest markets in sports, you've got
- 4:10Speaker 2: a World Series rematch from a couple of years ago.
- 4:13Speaker 2: From a DFS perspective, though, like the Dodgers are always
- 4:18Speaker 2: going to be in play every slate they're on. You know,
- 4:22Speaker 2: they can wreck any slate about as good as any
- 4:25Speaker 2: other team can. That said, like they're expensive and you're
- 4:31Speaker 2: stacking against Garrett Cole on a slate with cores, with
- 4:34Speaker 2: bad pitching, with other really good ballparks, really good weather
- 4:37Speaker 2: all over the place. So yeah, you want to stack
- 4:42Speaker 2: the Dodgers. I get it, but it's really really tough
- 4:46Speaker 2: for me to want to allocate those funds in any
- 4:48Speaker 2: one single lineup, like they would be a multi entry
- 4:51Speaker 2: type team for me, and quite frankly so with the Yankees.
- 4:54Speaker 2: I respect Sasaki, but he's been very inconsistent, especially recently.
- 4:59Speaker 2: So A believer in his stuff generally, we know that
- 5:03Speaker 2: when he doesn't have his good stuff, opponents can have
- 5:07Speaker 2: really good days against him. So I wouldn't put it.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I wouldn't put it past the Yankees to have a
- 5:11Speaker 2: big day. I just can't say that I like them
- 5:14Speaker 2: over a bunch of other teams, honestly. I mean this
- 5:18Speaker 2: late is loaded cors with bad pitching, win blowing out
- 5:22Speaker 2: in Wrigley with bad pitching, really really good hitting leather
- 5:26Speaker 2: in Kansas City, which is a good hitters park. You've
- 5:29Speaker 2: got Sacramento on this slate. I mean, I cannot sit
- 5:33Speaker 2: here and say that I like anything from this game
- 5:36Speaker 2: as far as I would play it in one lineup.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Do you see it differently?
- 5:42Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm with you. I was on I was
- 5:45Speaker 1: on Garrett Cole against the Twins a couple of weeks ago.
- 5:47Speaker 1: I know we kind of differed there now against the Dodgers,
- 5:50Speaker 1: but you said it, I mean sixty seven hundred for showwey.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I mean, their prices are kind of out of there
- 5:56Speaker 1: without Aaron Judge, I don't fully trust this Yankees team.
- 6:01Speaker 1: I'll play a couple teams over on Fandle. The prices
- 6:03Speaker 1: are a little bit better over on Fandel outside of
- 6:04Speaker 1: Ben Rice, who's forty two hundred. But just in general,
- 6:08Speaker 1: I'm not full stack in five man or four man
- 6:10Speaker 1: this Yankees team with no ahere in judge against a
- 6:14Speaker 1: guy like you said, Sasaki, where we know we're gonna
- 6:16Speaker 1: have better options. So yeah, I'm with you. If you
- 6:18Speaker 1: wanted a one off it, if you wanted to play
- 6:20Speaker 1: twenty teams, fifty teams something like that, I think you'd
- 6:22Speaker 1: get to one or both of these guys. But yeah,
- 6:25Speaker 1: it's prices are too expensive for the Dodgers that I'm
- 6:28Speaker 1: not full stacking the Yankees either.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Cool.
- 6:34Speaker 1: What about the weather, so Anthony brings up the weather, Yeah,
- 6:38Speaker 1: what about the weather in Yankee Stadium, Cleveland, anywhere like that, Chicago,
- 6:44Speaker 1: any of the smoke impacting any of the stuff that
- 6:47Speaker 1: you're looking at.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm just gonna assume these games play
- 6:54Speaker 2: unless we hear otherwise. But yeah, I mentioned you before,
- 6:58Speaker 2: I was surprised at the game hasn't been canceled in Cleveland,
- 7:02Speaker 2: and it still might be. So I would imagine if
- 7:05Speaker 2: they start these games, they're gonna play them. Like, I
- 7:10Speaker 2: don't know, I'm not an expert with anything, whether related,
- 7:14Speaker 2: certainly not these wildfire smoke or whatever these this smoke
- 7:18Speaker 2: has caused from. So yeah, I think there's definite concern
- 7:21Speaker 2: here and in Cleveland.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's New York according to Roth, New York, Cleveland,
- 7:26Speaker 1: and Toronto, even though Toronto's indoors. I guess theoretically, I
- 7:30Speaker 1: guess maybe it's just so bad up there in general,
- 7:34Speaker 1: But if you think about it, to me, that's kind
- 7:36Speaker 1: of weird. Like Cleveland. I think Cleveland's pretty far from
- 7:39Speaker 1: like the Canadian border, and that stuff just flushes down.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I was in Chicago yesterday and it was it was
- 7:44Speaker 1: pretty bad there as well. So man, that stuff's traveling
- 7:47Speaker 1: pretty fast. Must be the real deal if you're especially
- 7:49Speaker 1: up there, up there near it.
- 7:51Speaker 2: So, yeah, Cleveland's not that far from Canada.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Is it not?
- 7:55Speaker 1: Okay? All right, let's move on to the next game.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Got the Scott Jared Jones taking on Gavin Williams, assuming
- 8:03Speaker 1: this game is gonna play. Gavin Williams has been prone
- 8:06Speaker 1: to the long ball a little bit this year, but
- 8:08Speaker 1: does strike out a lot of folks per nine innings
- 8:10Speaker 1: as well. Any love for any of these pirates, ez
- 8:15Speaker 1: meerlin Val does just can lay the lumber to that ball,
- 8:19Speaker 1: but he also is going to strike out a ton
- 8:21Speaker 1: or any of these Guardians. We love playing these guardians,
- 8:23Speaker 1: especially as cheap guardians. When you're clean up hitter is
- 8:27Speaker 1: only twenty eight hundred bucks. I have some interest in this.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Guardian's interested to see if you do as well.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Yeah, this game is all about Cleveland. For me, Pittsburgh,
- 8:36Speaker 2: I guess, would be sneaky in tournaments because they have
- 8:38Speaker 2: power and I like their lineup against right handed pitching.
- 8:41Speaker 2: But I don't know if this is a slate I
- 8:43Speaker 2: want to pick on Gavin Williams. The more owned Gavin
- 8:46Speaker 2: Williams is, the more of a place Pittsburgh has on
- 8:49Speaker 2: this slate. But for me, on paper, this game is
- 8:51Speaker 2: about Cleveland. That Gavin Williams one of the better pitching options,
- 8:55Speaker 2: not my favorite. I like Sale and Bryce Miller more
- 8:58Speaker 2: than Williams, but he's right in that mix for me.
- 9:01Speaker 2: And then the bats against Jared Jones, who has talent
- 9:04Speaker 2: but clearly hasn't put it all together yet. Cleveland coming
- 9:08Speaker 2: off a good series in Miami. They've won four in
- 9:10Speaker 2: a row. They swept the Marlins, beat up some good pitching.
- 9:14Speaker 2: I don't put it past the Guards to get here tonight.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Jones isn't good. They run, they don't hit for power,
- 9:23Speaker 2: but again they just They're coming off a good series
- 9:25Speaker 2: in Miami. Now they're back home. I could see playing
- 9:28Speaker 2: in Cleveland here.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Yeah, Cleveland. Hey, what's going on? Taco Todd, you're in
- 9:32Speaker 1: the house. I saw my boy a minute ago. Where
- 9:35Speaker 1: is my boy? Title Town? Always enjoy having title in
- 9:38Speaker 1: here as well. Andy joined us late as well, and
- 9:41Speaker 1: then po Jin gave us two bucks for the snack fun.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Appreciate that as well. Yeah, this Guardians team, they're getting
- 9:47Speaker 1: hot at the right time. Then they got the break
- 9:50Speaker 1: obviously that we know Jose Ramirez is on the shelf.
- 9:53Speaker 1: They're similar. Where would you rank this Guardians team? Like,
- 9:55Speaker 1: are they a top five stack for you? Top ten?
- 9:57Speaker 1: You got twenty eight bats to choose from where.
- 9:59Speaker 2: We they definitely not definitely not top five for me,
- 10:02Speaker 2: No way, definitely not top five, top ten No. I mean,
- 10:06Speaker 2: so the appeal to them is how cheap they are
- 10:08Speaker 2: and there is expensive pitching. I like, so I think
- 10:11Speaker 2: you can make the argument their top ten. I don't
- 10:13Speaker 2: think you can make the argument their top five. Okay,
- 10:16Speaker 2: doesn't mean they couldn't get there, but like, there are
- 10:19Speaker 2: some really good stacks today, So yeah, I could understand
- 10:23Speaker 2: why someone would have them like outside of the top ten,
- 10:25Speaker 2: for sure, But I can also understand why someone would
- 10:27Speaker 2: have them right there. They're really cheap and in a
- 10:29Speaker 2: good matchup. So yeah, top ten for.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Me, all right, top ten and DJ Stonner. There's not
- 10:35Speaker 1: gonna be much geography because your boy Ham, boy Ham's
- 10:38Speaker 1: not very good geography. So you're safe. No geography, no math,
- 10:42Speaker 1: just winners here today with my boy Matt breaking it
- 10:45Speaker 1: all down for you. Hit that like, hit that subscribe button.
- 10:48Speaker 1: It helps us out a ton two down, twelve to go,
- 10:51Speaker 1: Red Socks and Rays game two point zero. This game
- 10:55Speaker 1: is not on FanDuel. Fandals got thirteen games, but we
- 10:59Speaker 1: do get the great Mason Englert taking on e riv
- 11:04Speaker 1: Eduardo Riviera talked to me through this when it was
- 11:07Speaker 1: ten to nothing earlier today, which means absolutely nothing in
- 11:11Speaker 1: this contest. But who do you got? Raise Red Sox.
- 11:16Speaker 2: So the Red Sox are the hottest team in baseball
- 11:18Speaker 2: right now. They've won a ton of games in a
- 11:20Speaker 2: row right back in the playoff picture, and they've been
- 11:24Speaker 2: a lot better offensively in this recent time stretch, and
- 11:28Speaker 2: they're coming off a game which they score ten runs today.
- 11:32Speaker 2: I like the ballpark, good hitting weather here. I think
- 11:36Speaker 2: the Red Sox are in play, and I think the
- 11:37Speaker 2: Rays are in play here. Bennett has been good, so
- 11:42Speaker 2: I don't want to go overboard with the Rays. And
- 11:45Speaker 2: I also, like you know, generally like them better against
- 11:47Speaker 2: right handed pitching. The Red Sox I think are in play.
- 11:51Speaker 2: I want to see what their lineup shakes out. As
- 11:53Speaker 2: Tampa used bullpen today, Chris Griffin Jackson wasn't very good.
- 11:58Speaker 2: I don't love the Red Socks here, but I think
- 12:02Speaker 2: they're definitely in play. Uh, They've got upside. They're playing
- 12:04Speaker 2: good baseball right now. We know this ballpark is conducive
- 12:07Speaker 2: for runs in the summer, So I think the Red
- 12:10Speaker 2: Sox are another top ten stack personally.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Did you say did you say Bennett or did I
- 12:15Speaker 1: miss miss hear you?
- 12:17Speaker 2: Did Bennett start today?
- 12:19Speaker 1: I think he started this morning.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Yeah, he started this morning. So yeah, in which case
- 12:24Speaker 2: the Rays are more in play. Who'd you say was
- 12:27Speaker 2: going for them?
- 12:28Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm uh ERIV. Yeah, Eduardo Rivera.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Rivera, Yeah, you know, guy that's probably not going to
- 12:36Speaker 2: go too deep into this game, so you're gonna get
- 12:38Speaker 2: into the okay.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:43Speaker 2: So I've talked about this with Bao early on. He
- 12:47Speaker 2: had been really, really good coming in after a opener
- 12:51Speaker 2: on For some reason, they decided to go back to
- 12:53Speaker 2: him starting and he got absolutely shelled his last appearance
- 12:56Speaker 2: in the Majors. But now again coming in after you're
- 13:00Speaker 2: an opener, I'm less inclined to want to go hard
- 13:03Speaker 2: against him. I don't want to use him here. The
- 13:06Speaker 2: rais on paper, I think look pretty good. I think
- 13:08Speaker 2: all probably lower on them than the field is. Although
- 13:12Speaker 2: they're expensive and this is the type of slate or
- 13:14Speaker 2: outside a couple of teams, I just can't see anyone
- 13:16Speaker 2: getting real ownership.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Cam A Naro played this morning. I correct, Yes, it
- 13:24Speaker 1: is not that he did anything, but he did it. Yeah,
- 13:28Speaker 1: he was in there, went one for four, yeah, one
- 13:31Speaker 1: for four. Yeah. Bao pitch the other night against the Mets.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I believe in long relief, and I think he did
- 13:36Speaker 1: pretty good. If I'm not mistaken, I know I had
- 13:38Speaker 1: some Mets teams, so yeah, excellent breakdown there. Pojin, Yeah,
- 13:41Speaker 1: Pojin said, Bennett was the first one in the first one. Pojin.
- 13:45Speaker 1: I was in Fort Collins a couple of weeks ago. Man,
- 13:48Speaker 1: I missed you. He must have been busy doing all
- 13:50Speaker 1: that funny stuff Denver Fort Collins. Didn't see my boy
- 13:53Speaker 1: Poden g Den Stone or three zero three, so maybe
- 13:56Speaker 1: next time. Moving on to the next game. Got those
- 14:00Speaker 1: shot socks, man the shot sock. They had me so
- 14:04Speaker 1: close last Friday night, Matt I was super excited texting you,
- 14:07Speaker 1: texting everyone. White Sox, Blue Jays pay attention to that.
- 14:11Speaker 1: They're fun to watch. Moon Otaki Murakami did me dirty.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Colson Montgomery did both of us super dirty over the weekend.
- 14:19Speaker 1: They're a fun ball club. Braidon Montgomery went yard on Sunday.
- 14:23Speaker 1: This is a fun team to watch, taking on Spencer
- 14:25Speaker 1: Miles and Anthony k never the Blue Jays, but Ernie
- 14:30Speaker 1: Clement made a good play in the All Star game
- 14:31Speaker 1: up the middle. Talk to me about this one White
- 14:33Speaker 1: Sox in Toronto.
- 14:36Speaker 2: I don't love this game for anything. Basically, Miles has
- 14:39Speaker 2: been pretty good. Not someone I'm actively looking to avoid
- 14:43Speaker 2: picking on, and I don't want to use him. But
- 14:46Speaker 2: I don't know. Indoor ballpark on a slate with a
- 14:49Speaker 2: ton of good weather, two pitchers that have been okay.
- 14:53Speaker 2: I'm probably off of this game. With fourteen games, I
- 14:55Speaker 2: think it's okay to have a couple of week cross off.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Couple of recross saw. This is gonna be one of
- 15:04Speaker 1: the White Sox gonna get crossed all tonight. Next up
- 15:07Speaker 1: on the slate, looks like Spencer Strider is gonna be
- 15:10Speaker 1: back sooner rather than later. You got the ageist Wonder
- 15:13Speaker 1: cal Control, who we picked on last time he was
- 15:15Speaker 1: on a slate. Got the Rangers. Jock Jams giving away.
- 15:18Speaker 1: There's no way Jock Jams is leading off tonight, not
- 15:21Speaker 1: against Chris Sale. I'm not buying that, so we need
- 15:22Speaker 1: to update that. But because of Jock, we are giving
- 15:25Speaker 1: away a free one twenty one ticket tonight. Make sure
- 15:28Speaker 1: you stay tuned at the end of the show. In
- 15:30Speaker 1: one Lucky Ship at Nation member will get a prize
- 15:33Speaker 1: at the end. But uh, I'm gonna go out on
- 15:36Speaker 1: a limb and say you're not playing any Rangers. I'm
- 15:39Speaker 1: gonna go out on a limb and say you have
- 15:40Speaker 1: interest in Chris Sale and this Braves team. Who's gonna
- 15:43Speaker 1: get Ronald Acuna Junior back? Talk through me to talk through,
- 15:47Speaker 1: talk me through this one Rangers in the atl.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Yeah, you know me all too well. I like Sale,
- 15:54Speaker 2: He's a dog. This Rangers lineup still, in my opinion,
- 15:56Speaker 2: isn't good against lefties, even though they were pretty good
- 15:58Speaker 2: heading into the break. I'm a believer in Sale over
- 16:02Speaker 2: most other pitchers in baseball. So yeah, I like Sale here,
- 16:06Speaker 2: and I do like the Braves. Man. I know we
- 16:08Speaker 2: picked on Quantrill with who was it, uh the Astros.
- 16:14Speaker 2: They weren't very good at the Astros. Yeah, I think so, Yeah,
- 16:19Speaker 2: because you're not hit a homer. Yeah it was the Astros.
- 16:23Speaker 2: They weren't very good. But yeah, Quantrell's not good and
- 16:26Speaker 2: the Braves offense is very good. I don't think they
- 16:28Speaker 2: get in love here. They're kind of just gonna fall
- 16:30Speaker 2: through the cracks like a bunch of teams are. And
- 16:33Speaker 2: even on a slate with cores and good weather all over,
- 16:39Speaker 2: I'm still willing to pick on Quantrill. So I like
- 16:41Speaker 2: the Braves here. There's good hitting weather in Atlanta. I
- 16:44Speaker 2: like this lineup. I'm in on the Braves top five
- 16:46Speaker 2: stack for me.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Wow, you think the Braves you think that? I mean,
- 16:52Speaker 1: I understand there's cores, there's Sacked Town, there's World Sister,
- 16:56Speaker 1: there's other places. But you think the Braves go go
- 16:58Speaker 1: under the radar if you will, not the radar. But
- 17:01Speaker 1: we got the sub ten percent across the board, and
- 17:03Speaker 1: not even that high you think it's it's sub ten percent.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean you got not just though. The
- 17:11Speaker 2: one game that that I've left out a couple of
- 17:13Speaker 2: times that you did also is wind blowing out in Wrigley,
- 17:17Speaker 2: So not just Cores, not just wind blowing out and Wrigley,
- 17:21Speaker 2: but great weather in Kansas City. We got Merrill Kelly
- 17:27Speaker 2: on the hill for Arizona, So Saint Louis is gonna
- 17:29Speaker 2: look good. There's good stacks all over the board tonight.
- 17:31Speaker 2: I don't think Atlanta gets any real ownership.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Now, yeah, you got you got Chris Sale who's only
- 17:37Speaker 1: ten k, which to me, that's super low in my opinion.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Then you got cal Contra at five to five. He's
- 17:43Speaker 1: the cheapest pitcher on the slate as well, So we
- 17:46Speaker 1: got most expensive pitcher going against the least expensive pitcher.
- 17:50Speaker 1: I like this. Braves teams too, Braves team too. It's
- 17:53Speaker 1: a top five stack for my boy, Matt. Next game
- 17:58Speaker 1: up on the slate is the Marlins at the Brewers.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Sandy Alcintara, who's been balling this year or up and down,
- 18:05Speaker 1: but balling as of late. Taking on this Brewers team
- 18:07Speaker 1: is just they just find a way to get it done.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Matt seems like every night they're winning ball games three
- 18:12Speaker 1: to one, four to two, never hit home runs. Cooper Pratt,
- 18:17Speaker 1: Joey Ortiz taking on this Marlin's team. Liam Hicks at
- 18:20Speaker 1: the top of the line. I've talked to me through
- 18:22Speaker 1: this one. Marlin's at the Brewers.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't love this game either. I don't want
- 18:29Speaker 2: to play Sandy in this spot against Milwaukee, That's for sure.
- 18:34Speaker 2: You could stack Milwaukee against Sandy like he doesn't you know,
- 18:37Speaker 2: he gives up a lot of contact in Milwaukee. We
- 18:39Speaker 2: know gets on basin runs. I don't really want to
- 18:42Speaker 2: pick on Sandy on this slate though, And then Miami's
- 18:46Speaker 2: interesting to me. Logan Henderson is an arm I'm a
- 18:52Speaker 2: believer in in general, but he's also not a guy.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Right now, I'm necessarily afraid to pick on big ball
- 19:00Speaker 2: park upgrade for Miami here. They've been very good against
- 19:04Speaker 2: right handed pitching. I don't think they're a top five
- 19:07Speaker 2: or even top ten stack for me, but I think
- 19:09Speaker 2: they're in playing tournaments given everything I mentioned, the ballpark upgrade,
- 19:15Speaker 2: the speed, pretty sure, they lead the majors in stolen bases,
- 19:19Speaker 2: and they've got some pops. So yeah, my I think
- 19:22Speaker 2: the Miami offense is my favorite piece of this game,
- 19:24Speaker 2: but I don't love it. Not a three pronger for you,
- 19:31Speaker 2: one pronger at best.
- 19:33Speaker 1: When am I gonna get to a three pronger?
- 19:36Speaker 2: I don't know. Man, on slates like this where you have,
- 19:40Speaker 2: like there's fourteen games, So if I really like, if
- 19:45Speaker 2: I like an offense enough, probably won't like the pitching.
- 19:48Speaker 2: And if there's pitchers that I'm even considering, it probably
- 19:52Speaker 2: are guys that I don't even consider offenses against, you
- 19:55Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So yeah, Like, for instance, the
- 20:00Speaker 2: I think the best three pronger that we've talked about
- 20:02Speaker 2: so far would be like the Yankees game, Like you
- 20:06Speaker 2: could use Susaki, you could use the Yankees against him.
- 20:10Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I don't like
- 20:12Speaker 2: either enough because there's so many other good stacks and pitchers.
- 20:15Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Oh yeah for show, Yeah no, this is this is
- 20:20Speaker 1: a great slate. You got fourteen you got fourteen team
- 20:24Speaker 1: or fourteen games, twenty eight teams to choose from, kind
- 20:27Speaker 1: of like what we talk about in the NFL too, rights,
- 20:29Speaker 1: Like the quarterback position is never gonna be that owned.
- 20:32Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of these stacks outside of
- 20:35Speaker 1: maybe Corps Sacramento and the Chicago Game, are gonna get
- 20:38Speaker 1: that much love and ownership. So certainly with you there,
- 20:41Speaker 1: I can't.
- 20:41Speaker 2: Remember did you say you said you were in Fort Collins.
- 20:43Speaker 2: I know we talked about this even last you said
- 20:45Speaker 2: you were in Fort Collins.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Or I was in Fort Collins like yeah, two or
- 20:50Speaker 1: three weeks so, yeah, I know I used to live there.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Well, I used to live in Denver, but I got
- 20:53Speaker 2: a bunch of buddies that went to Colorado State.
- 20:55Speaker 1: So yeah, CSU went to the football stadium and walked
- 20:59Speaker 1: the campus, went arena. Yeah, good time.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Never been there, good times.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Oh, Sonny Sonny lubric So I think a Sonny Lubik
- 21:06Speaker 1: was his name, you know, Sonny Lubick.
- 21:11Speaker 2: No, I don't. I didn't go to Colorado State, so
- 21:13Speaker 2: I don't know the background. But it's funny. Well I
- 21:15Speaker 2: didn't there, yeah no, but I wasn't there three weeks
- 21:18Speaker 2: ago either, But yeah, I have never not been there
- 21:21Speaker 2: from what I remember, you know what I mean?
- 21:24Speaker 1: Mm hmm, All right, Marlin's at the Brewers. I'm gonna say.
- 21:26Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this one is this one's a cross
- 21:28Speaker 1: off for me? The Marlin people always want to play
- 21:31Speaker 1: the Marlins. I think they stink, but uh not playing
- 21:33Speaker 1: a neither one of those like that Brewers bullpen as well,
- 21:35Speaker 1: So I'm out on that one, all right. Next team
- 21:37Speaker 1: up on this late interest to see what you had
- 21:39Speaker 1: to say about this. Colin Ray gonna be all the
- 21:41Speaker 1: way back in Little Rock tonight taking on the home run.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Give her up, er Bailey Ober. I feel like this
- 21:46Speaker 1: Twins lineup a lot of left He's in there to
- 21:49Speaker 1: take on Colin Ray. This Giants team PCA been balling
- 21:52Speaker 1: this year. Alex Bregman off the Royds, he stinks. Michael
- 21:56Speaker 1: Bush sazaki hap they can all go yard Dan's lieutenant.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Dan's all right, talk me through this game. Matt Win
- 22:03Speaker 1: blowing out. You see that in the in the plot
- 22:05Speaker 1: run total over ten and a half, ten and a half.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Tweakies at the Cubbies.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know much else to say
- 22:17Speaker 2: about it. Two bad pitchers, really really good hitting weather,
- 22:22Speaker 2: and I don't think either team gets too much ownership
- 22:25Speaker 2: just because there's so many teams that look good on
- 22:29Speaker 2: this slate. So I'm sure the Cubs are one of
- 22:32Speaker 2: the higher own teams on the slate. You know they
- 22:37Speaker 2: have to be in this spot you can afford them well.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Enof Ober is a guy that I in the field
- 22:41Speaker 2: likes to pick on. I think personally I like Minnesota
- 22:46Speaker 2: better in this spot.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Can you pay sixty three hundred for PA?
- 22:51Speaker 2: Sure? I mean, especially if you're I mean, yeah, he's
- 22:53Speaker 2: been amazing, He's been one of them. Is not the
- 22:57Speaker 2: best fantasy commodity over the past month, So yeah, I wouldn't
- 23:00Speaker 2: you be able to I guess you know my response,
- 23:03Speaker 2: especially if you're stacking them. But even as a one
- 23:06Speaker 2: off there elsewhere, Yeah, they're cheap elsewhere. PCA looks like
- 23:10Speaker 2: one of the best bats on the slate. I mean,
- 23:11Speaker 2: he runs, he's got power. Lot to like here. I
- 23:15Speaker 2: do like the Twins, I think as a stack a
- 23:17Speaker 2: little bit more because they're going to be lower owned
- 23:20Speaker 2: in my opinion, and Ray is not a good picture either,
- 23:23Speaker 2: So all things go, I'd probably rather pick On over,
- 23:27Speaker 2: but I think you do get a pretty big ownership
- 23:30Speaker 2: discount from Minnesota, so I'm digging it. I like the
- 23:34Speaker 2: Twins here. I think I like them more than I
- 23:37Speaker 2: thought going in looking at their projected ownership, your.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Boy PCA man, he could potentially go forty forty. He
- 23:44Speaker 1: could join that forty forty club potentially.
- 23:47Speaker 2: Definitely.
- 23:51Speaker 1: Yeah, Nicholas thinks over some trash he's gonna be in
- 23:53Speaker 1: on some Cubs tonight. So you like the Twins better
- 23:58Speaker 1: than the Cubs. Is that just as a stack or
- 24:01Speaker 1: is that just like stack versus stack? You like the
- 24:04Speaker 1: Twins better?
- 24:08Speaker 2: I think it's really close for me, like just straight up,
- 24:10Speaker 2: and then when you consider the ownership, that's what pushes
- 24:13Speaker 2: it to the front for me as far as the
- 24:15Speaker 2: Twins go.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're stacking the Twins, you can't play Alan
- 24:22Speaker 1: Rhoad and he stinks, you can't play seven eight nine.
- 24:25Speaker 1: In my opinion, Alex Bregman enter out.
- 24:32Speaker 2: If I'm stacking them.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Yeah, full stack, five man stack. Is he going to
- 24:36Speaker 1: be a part of your your squad?
- 24:39Speaker 2: Definitely in play there. I mean it has to be homeward,
- 24:43Speaker 2: big game, last game before the break, cheap it's hitting
- 24:46Speaker 2: what second or third?
- 24:48Speaker 1: So yeah, even though even though he stinks, you still
- 24:51Speaker 1: want to play him.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Got it.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Moving on to the next game, Baltimore getting them out
- 24:56Speaker 1: of the friendly confounds, going in to the Astros to
- 25:00Speaker 1: take on Peter Lambert. Dean Kramer on the mound for
- 25:04Speaker 1: the Orioles talked to me about this game. We talked
- 25:07Speaker 1: a little bit about Peter Lambert his last start out.
- 25:10Speaker 1: I think he did okay. I think he was in
- 25:12Speaker 1: that same game with the Rangers when when he went
- 25:14Speaker 1: when Jock went deep off of him. But talk to
- 25:17Speaker 1: me about this one, Orioles at the Astros. You got
- 25:20Speaker 1: any love for any of these o's, Both are going
- 25:22Speaker 1: to be on own. Your done just been simply amazing
- 25:24Speaker 1: this year. Talked to me about this game, Orioles at
- 25:27Speaker 1: the Astros.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Yeah, this one. I think Lambert and the Orioles might
- 25:35Speaker 2: be the only like pitcher hitter, like you know, pitcher
- 25:41Speaker 2: versus hitter that I'm thinking about both sides is in
- 25:43Speaker 2: play for me. Going back to the three pronger you
- 25:45Speaker 2: asked me about. Lambert has been good this year, been
- 25:49Speaker 2: good for me when I've used him, coming off a
- 25:51Speaker 2: really good start. That said, I think a lot of
- 25:54Speaker 2: it is smoking mirrors and he's got batter verse splits
- 25:57Speaker 2: like this Oriol's lineup sets up well against him, and
- 25:59Speaker 2: I think that and play here. I do feel kind
- 26:02Speaker 2: of similarly about the Astros and Kramer, although at the
- 26:06Speaker 2: end of the day, like I kind of said about
- 26:07Speaker 2: Sasaki and the Yankees, if I'm playing one lineup, I'm
- 26:11Speaker 2: probably just not getting to anything from this game. Recognizing
- 26:13Speaker 2: that there's upside, probably in each different side of it,
- 26:18Speaker 2: but I just can't prioritize anything here. There's too many
- 26:21Speaker 2: other better spots.
- 26:24Speaker 1: So talk to the people. When you say reverse splits,
- 26:26Speaker 1: normally righty righty is where Lambert with Shawn's and you're
- 26:29Speaker 1: saying the lefties, I mean, the rightys have a better
- 26:33Speaker 1: advantage against Lambert than the lefties do.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Yeah, at least so far of this season. You look
- 26:39Speaker 2: at just his numbers coming into this game tonight, I
- 26:45Speaker 2: mean basically the same. This is crazy, basically the same
- 26:49Speaker 2: amount of appats against righty's and lefties one hundred and
- 26:52Speaker 2: sixty one to lefties, one fifty three to right e's,
- 26:56Speaker 2: giving up three bombs to lefties eight bombs to right e's.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Hitters are hitting one, lefties are hitting one forty three.
- 27:03Speaker 2: Righties are hitting two sixty one against them. Lefties are
- 27:06Speaker 2: slugging two twenty four. Rightings are slugging four fifty eight.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Lefties have a five h seven ops. Rightings have a
- 27:13Speaker 2: seven to fifty one, So talking pretty big reversalits here.
- 27:17Speaker 2: So I like the Righties for Baltimore.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Like the writings for Baltimore. There you go, You got
- 27:22Speaker 1: it there. What about the Astros you like? You like
- 27:25Speaker 1: them at all or or I mean outside of Jordan
- 27:27Speaker 1: obviously as a one off potentially any any Mini's there
- 27:30Speaker 1: or anything like that.
- 27:32Speaker 2: I respect Kramer enough. And again, this ballpark, when there's
- 27:35Speaker 2: all the really good weather spots, just not the place
- 27:37Speaker 2: I'm trying to target. So Astros are good and they
- 27:40Speaker 2: have power, but I'm not going out.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Of my way from them, not going anyway. All right,
- 27:44Speaker 1: awesome stuff there, Padres at the Royals. You talked about
- 27:48Speaker 1: this weather. It's hot as a firecracker. There you can
- 27:51Speaker 1: see that an applied run total of above ten. These
- 27:55Speaker 1: Padres not very whether well, they're good. I feel like
- 28:00Speaker 1: they're good, but I just feel like they let us
- 28:01Speaker 1: down time and time again. So talk to you about
- 28:04Speaker 1: this game. You got to tease Meri Machado up top
- 28:07Speaker 1: that I think are good. And then you got this
- 28:09Speaker 1: Royals team who facing Michael King, who I like I
- 28:13Speaker 1: like them, Your boy Lane Thomas Batton clean up again.
- 28:16Speaker 1: This game should get some ownership, should see some fireworks
- 28:19Speaker 1: as well. But talk to me Padres at the Royals.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Padres are cheap too, my dad, big Weather, You're really
- 28:27Speaker 1: good hitting Weather in this game, and I think so
- 28:32Speaker 1: on paper.
- 28:33Speaker 2: I like the Padres a lot here. I like them
- 28:35Speaker 2: more than the Royals. Their top five stack for me,
- 28:38Speaker 2: I do think because of how cheap they are, they're
- 28:40Speaker 2: gonna be pretty highly owned considering how others teams are
- 28:44Speaker 2: owned on this slate. Like, they're not going to be
- 28:46Speaker 2: crazy highly owned because there's so many good spots, but
- 28:49Speaker 2: I think they might be a little bit over owned.
- 28:52Speaker 2: The Royals won't get any love, and I like them here,
- 28:54Speaker 2: so I like this game for offense. Nah, I don't
- 28:58Speaker 2: see the Royals getting loved. I mean, Bobby Whitt is
- 29:00Speaker 2: like how much Bobby Witt is? Okay, Bobby Witt is
- 29:06Speaker 2: six k against the righty in Kansas City and Elie
- 29:09Speaker 2: is five hundred more than him in Colorado.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Uh.
- 29:13Speaker 2: I just don't see Wit getting love here. I mean,
- 29:15Speaker 2: he's a pivot off of Eli. But the guys you
- 29:18Speaker 2: want to like WIT's expensive, Jensen's expensive. Kansas City is
- 29:22Speaker 2: expensive for the guys you want to play, and they
- 29:24Speaker 2: don't really deserve those tags. So in sens.
- 29:30Speaker 1: Got some weather here, man. I don't know if you've
- 29:32Speaker 1: heard that. I heard that.
- 29:33Speaker 2: I was like, are you all right? Yeah?
- 29:34Speaker 1: I didn't know what that was, but uh, you good, Yeah,
- 29:37Speaker 1: we're good man. It does a lot of weather.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I get it. Uh that really threw me off.
- 29:44Speaker 2: I don't think the Royals get love here. King is
- 29:46Speaker 2: a respected arm and the Royals are expensive where you
- 29:50Speaker 2: want to play them, and the guys that aren't expensive
- 29:53Speaker 2: people don't want to play. So Kansas City is really
- 29:55Speaker 2: interesting for me in tournaments.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Kansas City a little bit against Michael King,
- 30:03Speaker 1: especially those lefties. The home run derby legend Jack Caags.
- 30:06Speaker 1: Don't mind him in there as well with some of
- 30:09Speaker 1: those other lefties. Moving on to the next game, it's
- 30:12Speaker 1: gonna be one that everybody's talking about. Everybody's playing twelve
- 30:14Speaker 1: and plot a run total. Some guy named Brady's Singer
- 30:17Speaker 1: on the hill for the Reds, some other guy named
- 30:19Speaker 1: Gabriel Hughes on the bump for the Rockies. Ellie's going
- 30:23Speaker 1: to be popular. South Pala, South Stewart, Spencer Steel, the
- 30:26Speaker 1: whole game. Same thing with those Rockies. Those Rockies look
- 30:30Speaker 1: really nice as well. Jake McCarthy inside the Park home
- 30:33Speaker 1: run last week, Mickey Moniac, Hunter Goodman. The list goes
- 30:36Speaker 1: on and on. Talk to me about this game. How
- 30:38Speaker 1: do you play this game? Where do you get different
- 30:40Speaker 1: reds at the Rockies?
- 30:45Speaker 2: Yeah, feel similarly about this game as they do the
- 30:47Speaker 2: Chicago Minnesota game. There isn't much to add. It's a
- 30:49Speaker 2: typical Cores game with bad pitching. Singer has been bad
- 30:52Speaker 2: this year. Colorado. We much prefer against righties. They obviously
- 30:57Speaker 2: look like one of the best stacks on the board,
- 30:58Speaker 2: no doubt about it. And then since Sinnatti probably the
- 31:01Speaker 2: top stack on the board. Gabriel Hughes unknown doubtful to
- 31:05Speaker 2: be anything of substance pitching in Colorado. He's coming off
- 31:09Speaker 2: a good start against the Dodgers, which is good for him,
- 31:12Speaker 2: but don't really see it continuing here. I mean, since
- 31:17Speaker 2: he likes to strike out a lot on a lot
- 31:19Speaker 2: of slates. I think, I guess like because of the owner,
- 31:22Speaker 2: we don't talk about the leverage at pitcher all the
- 31:25Speaker 2: time or often at all, but I guess considering how
- 31:29Speaker 2: cheap Hughes is, and how many good offenses there are
- 31:32Speaker 2: on this slate. I don't think he's the worst play
- 31:34Speaker 2: in the world. At first, I was going to say
- 31:35Speaker 2: he's out of play, but I don't think he's an
- 31:38Speaker 2: atrocious play considering his tag, the matchup, the ownership the
- 31:41Speaker 2: Reds are going to get, and how many expensive offenses
- 31:43Speaker 2: there are. That said, Cincinnati has got to be the
- 31:47Speaker 2: top stack on the board on paper. I mean, they're
- 31:49Speaker 2: in cores, they're facing an unknown probably not good starter
- 31:53Speaker 2: in a bad bullpen.
- 31:57Speaker 1: So you got the Reds over the rock He correct.
- 32:01Speaker 2: I think it's really close.
- 32:02Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I was gonna say, what are we
- 32:08Speaker 1: gonna get there? How would you rank just like the
- 32:12Speaker 1: Rockies versus the Cubs versus the Royals in terms of
- 32:18Speaker 1: like game stacks, if you will, just like you know
- 32:22Speaker 1: what I mean, not not necessarily the teams, just the environment.
- 32:26Speaker 2: I think they're all good. I don't really have like
- 32:28Speaker 2: a ranking for them. It's impossible to say, Okay, they're
- 32:33Speaker 2: all really good. I mean it's really hard to say.
- 32:37Speaker 2: It's hard to say they're all three of them because
- 32:41Speaker 2: you can make the case, like I think, in a vacuum,
- 32:46Speaker 2: the Reds Rockies has the most as the best environment
- 32:50Speaker 2: for the most runs. But I also think that that
- 32:53Speaker 2: game has the highest ownership. And I also think that
- 32:56Speaker 2: those two teams, the Reds and the and the Rockies
- 32:58Speaker 2: aren't great offense. So when you consider ownership and all that,
- 33:04Speaker 2: I think you can make a really strong case for
- 33:06Speaker 2: all of them.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all great matchups. I mean you just can't.
- 33:12Speaker 1: You just can't play everybody, right, I mean, the ownership's
- 33:14Speaker 1: gonna be spread out tonight, I think maybe more than
- 33:17Speaker 1: normal when you got those three contests and then you
- 33:19Speaker 1: got this Oakland game.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Or that's why I said the Braves, the Braves gotta.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Be low owned, right, Yeah, the Braves offense has been
- 33:27Speaker 1: sputtering too, now, you know now that I say that, Right,
- 33:29Speaker 1: They just went to Saint Louis our last series, and
- 33:33Speaker 1: you know, they didn't score many runs. I don't know
- 33:34Speaker 1: how many it was, but it wasn't a lot. Moving
- 33:37Speaker 1: on to the next game, we've got Troy Melton eighty
- 33:41Speaker 1: seven hundred dollars, Troy Milton going to the Angels. Another
- 33:43Speaker 1: park that we like to work with, Red Debtmer's at
- 33:46Speaker 1: seventy three hundred. I love that price tag. For Reed,
- 33:49Speaker 1: Debtmer's playing against this team. Riley Green's a lefty, so
- 33:52Speaker 1: we get the lefty lefty advantage there, who, in my opinion,
- 33:55Speaker 1: is one of their better hitters. Strick out a lot.
- 33:57Speaker 1: But talk to you about this game Tigers at the Angels.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna be playing either one of these teams sitting
- 34:03Speaker 1: leverage angles, and the Tigers or the Angels.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Not really. This slate for me has five main pitchers.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Sale we'll get to Bryce Miller. We talked about Gavin Williams,
- 34:15Speaker 2: and then the two pitchers in this game. Detmer's too
- 34:19Speaker 2: cheap for his stuff. He hasn't been great recently, so
- 34:22Speaker 2: I don't feel like a ton of confidence in it.
- 34:24Speaker 2: But he's way too cheap at seventy three hundred for
- 34:27Speaker 2: this matchup. So it's set first for me. If you're
- 34:31Speaker 2: gonna play the leverage angle, it'd be the Tigers against Detmer, Debt, Maurs.
- 34:34Speaker 2: But it's just tough to go there on this slate, Like,
- 34:39Speaker 2: are the Tigers really gonna beat out all those other teams?
- 34:41Speaker 2: It's the top stack on the slate unlikely. Even if
- 34:45Speaker 2: you don't use det Meers Melton Man look at his
- 34:49Speaker 2: game long and he gets the nut matchup the Angels
- 34:52Speaker 2: against the right handed pitcher. I mean, I'm not buying
- 34:55Speaker 2: what he's selling completely, but it's hard not to at
- 35:00Speaker 2: least have some interest here in this matchup given his
- 35:02Speaker 2: current form. That's all I'll say.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you said it. Best three straight games
- 35:10Speaker 1: of twenty two plus points DraftKings points. Now he gets
- 35:14Speaker 1: the nut matchup. Yeah, he's uh, he's looking pretty good.
- 35:20Speaker 2: Like, the only thing I'll say about it is he's
- 35:22Speaker 2: got a one eighty two ERA. He's got a two
- 35:26Speaker 2: ninety six expected the ra so still good. I mean,
- 35:28Speaker 2: two ninety six expected is really good, but it's not elite.
- 35:32Speaker 2: He's only striking out twenty two a little bit under
- 35:34Speaker 2: percent of hitters, So like, I struggle to get here
- 35:39Speaker 2: in one lineup over like sailor Bryce Miller. But he's
- 35:43Speaker 2: cheaper and then a better matchup, so he's in play
- 35:45Speaker 2: for me.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Yeah. Next game up on the Sledger Boy, Michael McGreevey
- 35:49Speaker 1: taking on Merril Kelly. Meryl Kelly, who gets beat up
- 35:52Speaker 1: time and time again, and then he comes out and
- 35:54Speaker 1: puts up a twenty five piece like he did his
- 35:56Speaker 1: last start, I believe. But jj Weatherhill, Alec berdloson home
- 36:01Speaker 1: run legend, Jordan Walker, Lars new Bar going into the desert,
- 36:06Speaker 1: we know it's gonna be scolding hot there as well.
- 36:08Speaker 1: They do play indoors, which helps helps against the heat.
- 36:12Speaker 1: But any love for any of these Cardinals, any love
- 36:16Speaker 1: for these Diamondbacks who just simply that there's just no
- 36:19Speaker 1: way they're gonna get ownership. Neither one of these teams
- 36:21Speaker 1: are gonna get any ownership. So where are you going
- 36:24Speaker 1: to either one of these folks?
- 36:26Speaker 2: I could play either of these teams. Okay, this might
- 36:29Speaker 2: be the first three pronger, the first and only three
- 36:31Speaker 2: pronger on this slate, So Merril. Kelly has been atrocious
- 36:37Speaker 2: this year, so the Cardinals have to be in play,
- 36:39Speaker 2: have to be in play against him. You know, we
- 36:42Speaker 2: don't mind this ballpark for hitting. Obviously, Cardinals are affordable.
- 36:46Speaker 2: That said, Kelly has been really good his past two starts.
- 36:50Speaker 2: I'm still a believer in his talent in general, and
- 36:53Speaker 2: he's super cheap and low owned. So I could see
- 36:57Speaker 2: playing Kelly here, just like I could see playing Hughes,
- 36:59Speaker 2: but obviously I gulds he's stacking against him. No interest
- 37:03Speaker 2: in MC Greevy and I got some interest in Arizona.
- 37:07Speaker 2: I always do, and they've let me down so much
- 37:09Speaker 2: this year. I see that pick Cleveland PPD will get there,
- 37:14Speaker 2: But man, mcgreevy's just not good. And even though stacking
- 37:18Speaker 2: against him hasn't worked out a ton, I'm still ultimately
- 37:21Speaker 2: a believer in, you know, stacking against bad pictures. So
- 37:27Speaker 2: it's almost got to be in play for me. They're
- 37:28Speaker 2: not my favorite stack on the board, but at their ownership,
- 37:31Speaker 2: which I think will be like crazy low, they got
- 37:33Speaker 2: to be in play.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the first one I asked you was
- 37:42Speaker 1: was Guardian's top five? It was, But I know they're
- 37:45Speaker 1: off the board now, like down, top back, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 37:49Speaker 1: Top Diamondbacks, Cardinals, top ten, both of them.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Yes.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Do we need of them creep into the time.
- 37:57Speaker 2: It's tough, though, man, because like, no, it's tough. They
- 38:00Speaker 2: can't make the top five. Because you asked me about
- 38:03Speaker 2: those three games, who are game stacking. That's six teams
- 38:06Speaker 2: right there, you know what I'm saying. And then you
- 38:08Speaker 2: got Atlanta and then you got the Nationals eighties game.
- 38:12Speaker 2: So no, neither Cars or diving Backs are top five.
- 38:16Speaker 2: But I think they're both top tennish.
- 38:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean think about it, like, you got the
- 38:21Speaker 1: Nats and Oakland in Sacramento, which doesn't make sense, so
- 38:24Speaker 1: I guess it's not Oakland, but and those other three games.
- 38:28Speaker 1: I mean, there's just a ton of offenses, Like I
- 38:32Speaker 1: think it's gonna be spread out.
- 38:35Speaker 2: It's about as loaded of an offensive slate as I
- 38:37Speaker 2: can remember.
- 38:38Speaker 1: Yeah, which takes us into our next game. Cade Cavali,
- 38:46Speaker 1: the Ageless Wonder, the Red Sox Killer taking on gauge
- 38:52Speaker 1: jump seventy seven hundred dollars, the South Paul at home
- 38:57Speaker 1: this cracker Jack Triple A ballpark. He talk to me
- 39:01Speaker 1: about this one? You got no. The one thing I'd
- 39:04Speaker 1: say about the Athletics is Nick Kurtz is on the shelf.
- 39:07Speaker 1: Obviously hurts their their their line up, But talk to
- 39:10Speaker 1: me about this game. Natitudes at the Athletics.
- 39:15Speaker 2: So the A's did call up one of their better
- 39:17Speaker 2: hitting prospects that should be in the lineup tonight, Nick White,
- 39:20Speaker 2: So he's cheap. And in there that said, man, you
- 39:25Speaker 2: kind of put me on this last Sunday or last Friday,
- 39:28Speaker 2: I should say, And I was still stubborn about it.
- 39:31Speaker 2: I stacked some Oakland all weekend or last weekend, they
- 39:34Speaker 2: were so I mean, talk about their offense right now.
- 39:40Speaker 2: I mean, I just I don't think I can do
- 39:43Speaker 2: it tonight, even in this ballpark at low ownership. Cavali
- 39:46Speaker 2: is hit or miss two bad starts after that dominant
- 39:49Speaker 2: Boston starts. So he's not a guy I'm afraid to
- 39:50Speaker 2: pick on. But man, you look at this Athletics lineup
- 39:54Speaker 2: right now, it's all for me to want to full
- 39:56Speaker 2: stack them. The only thing I'll say is, like now,
- 39:59Speaker 2: the back home and the All Star break has a
- 40:03Speaker 2: way of changing things, you know what I mean. Teams
- 40:05Speaker 2: oftentimes play different than they did going into the break,
- 40:08Speaker 2: So I wouldn't be surprised if the Athletics have a
- 40:10Speaker 2: good series here. That said really hard for me to
- 40:13Speaker 2: want to ultimately like prioritize them, And I feel similarly
- 40:17Speaker 2: about the Nats. Jump is a good arm. I mean,
- 40:20Speaker 2: he's one of the better pitching prospects in baseball. He's
- 40:22Speaker 2: been good in the majors, and even though the Nationals
- 40:26Speaker 2: are good against lefties, they're so much better against righty's.
- 40:29Speaker 2: Try to pinch hit risk here, Like you tell me
- 40:32Speaker 2: you want to play a Curtis Mead or a Dylan Cruz. Yeah,
- 40:36Speaker 2: I mean, the Nats guys are in play, but I
- 40:38Speaker 2: don't think I want to go out of my way
- 40:39Speaker 2: to stack against Gage Jump on a slate with Brady
- 40:42Speaker 2: Singer and Coors, Colin ray And and Bailey Ober with
- 40:46Speaker 2: wind blowing out in Wrigley cal Quantrill. Like, I'm good,
- 40:50Speaker 2: I'm picking on Gage Jump, I think.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Yeah, just just quickly game log watching, like Gage's Jump
- 40:59Speaker 1: has just got shelled at home. Outside of one start
- 41:02Speaker 1: against the Angels, he's just gotten I shouldn't say shale,
- 41:05Speaker 1: but he's had some pretty all of his rough starts
- 41:10Speaker 1: have been at home. Now, you get these gnats, But
- 41:13Speaker 1: I liked what you said stuck out to me is
- 41:15Speaker 1: that you said these gnats aren't as good against lefties
- 41:18Speaker 1: as they are righty's, which would make sense with CJ
- 41:21Speaker 1: and James Wood, you know, both both getting that lefty
- 41:24Speaker 1: lefty they get the bad end of that stick.
- 41:26Speaker 2: So I mean you are right though, Like you just
- 41:29Speaker 2: take a simple glance at his splits. He's averaging twenty
- 41:33Speaker 2: three plus draftings points at home are on the road
- 41:36Speaker 2: nine at home. Yeah, So like, yeah, I mean, and
- 41:39Speaker 2: it makes sense the ballpark. This ballpark is really conducive
- 41:43Speaker 2: for hitting. So like, yeah, I don't think the Nats
- 41:45Speaker 2: are out of play. I think they're a good stack.
- 41:47Speaker 2: I just think they get their own probably as they
- 41:50Speaker 2: should be. And there's other teams that I like that
- 41:53Speaker 2: the field doesn't like as much. So I probably won't
- 41:55Speaker 2: go art on the Gnats, but I definitely won't be
- 41:58Speaker 2: surprised if they ruined the slate, you know what I mean? Mean?
- 42:01Speaker 1: Can you can you play then? Or not? Can you?
- 42:03Speaker 1: I know you can? But do you like the Gnats
- 42:06Speaker 1: over any one of those other six teams we talked
- 42:08Speaker 1: about earlier?
- 42:11Speaker 2: I like the Nat I personally do not, but I also, man,
- 42:16Speaker 2: I think the hats are probably lower than all of them. Yeah,
- 42:19Speaker 2: And like the real thing is Wood and Abrams are
- 42:23Speaker 2: lefties and uber expensive. They're the two best hitters in
- 42:26Speaker 2: the Nats line up, the guys you want to play,
- 42:29Speaker 2: So like, I don't know, man, the just the numbers
- 42:33Speaker 2: you read off about Gabe jump at home. Yeah, I
- 42:36Speaker 2: think the Nationals are right on that level, especially when
- 42:39Speaker 2: you consider ownership. You know, I would say this too.
- 42:43Speaker 2: I think the Cores and Wrigley game is on another level.
- 42:46Speaker 2: Than the than the k C game. I would put
- 42:49Speaker 2: this game on the level of the k C game.
- 42:51Speaker 1: Got it? So maybe a tier you know, a tier
- 42:56Speaker 1: behind and hope, you know, hope those first two don't
- 42:58Speaker 1: go off. What's the win debt? Wrigually blowing out? Like
- 43:02Speaker 1: how bad is it blowing out? Like twenty miles an
- 43:04Speaker 1: hour or ten? Do you know? If not somebody in
- 43:06Speaker 1: the chat can might know.
- 43:14Speaker 2: It is blowing out at.
- 43:20Speaker 1: Mari, don I think ten miles an hour? Yeah, that's
- 43:23Speaker 1: what that's what That's what he says as well. Yeah,
- 43:26Speaker 1: like I don't I'm not. I mean, I don't know.
- 43:28Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's the Windy City, right, and
- 43:30Speaker 1: I don't know if that's like a lot or a
- 43:32Speaker 1: little or you know how much that's it's a.
- 43:34Speaker 2: Tone a plus forty three percent up ticking home runs.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Okay, all right, yeah, good to know. All right, thanks
- 43:41Speaker 1: for sharing that one game left? Do us a favorite
- 43:44Speaker 1: hit that like, hit that subscribe button. Once you do that,
- 43:46Speaker 1: we're gonna give a fretey ticket away to the one
- 43:48Speaker 1: twenty one to a ship It Nation member because our
- 43:51Speaker 1: boy Jock Jams went yard on a Friday night. So
- 43:54Speaker 1: make sure you're sticking around Matt. We got one game
- 43:56Speaker 1: left at the Giants Trek taking on Bryce Drave Killer
- 44:01Speaker 1: Miller in this ballpark. We love against this team. We
- 44:04Speaker 1: love picking on Land and Roupe. Bryce Miller talked to
- 44:08Speaker 1: me Giants at the Mariners.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Outside of his last start, Bryce Miller had been dominant,
- 44:15Speaker 2: so I'm willing to go back to him now at
- 44:17Speaker 2: home against the Giants offense that I'm still underwhelmed with
- 44:23Speaker 2: going through this show. I do think I like Sale
- 44:26Speaker 2: the most. And you know, the four guys, Sale, Miller, Melton,
- 44:32Speaker 2: and Debtmers, all of them are really good options for me.
- 44:37Speaker 2: And I kind of went into this show thinking I
- 44:41Speaker 2: like Miller and Sale definitely the most. But I think
- 44:45Speaker 2: you can do a lot with the price tag of
- 44:47Speaker 2: certainly Debtmers and even Melton. So I think all four
- 44:49Speaker 2: of those guys look good. But I still like Miller
- 44:51Speaker 2: a lot here. I'm a believer in his stuff. I
- 44:53Speaker 2: like the matchup, I love the ballpark. I mean, you've
- 44:55Speaker 2: got so many good hitting spots tonight feels pretty good
- 44:59Speaker 2: to use a pitcher and Se, I mean it just does.
- 45:03Speaker 2: And then Land and Raupe, I'm probably good on him,
- 45:06Speaker 2: like only he's a bad play in this park just
- 45:09Speaker 2: because of this park. And I think he's talented enough
- 45:11Speaker 2: and I'm not scared to Seattle, but he's a k
- 45:13Speaker 2: and I just don't like him enough to use him.
- 45:16Speaker 2: But I'm completely out on offense in this game.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Yeah, so you said you're in or out on landing route.
- 45:22Speaker 1: But ak, that's expensive to me, but maybe I'm probably out.
- 45:24Speaker 2: I'm out.
- 45:25Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, you look up and down like this.
- 45:29Speaker 1: It's not a great pitching slate in my opinion. It
- 45:31Speaker 1: sounds like in your opinion as well. But uh, and
- 45:34Speaker 1: that's why, that's why we like so many offenses, you know,
- 45:37Speaker 1: three or four plus parks with I would say, you know,
- 45:40Speaker 1: we got all the good parks on the slate tonight
- 45:42Speaker 1: except Cincinnati. And we got Cincinnati and Corps. So go
- 45:45Speaker 1: figure there, all right, Matt, it's the end of the show. Well, uh,
- 45:50Speaker 1: let's do Let's do our home run call of the
- 45:52Speaker 1: day first. I'm gonna let you do the honors. I
- 45:54Speaker 1: got one, but give me your home run call of
- 45:57Speaker 1: the day.
- 46:00Speaker 2: I'm gonna steal a guy that you that you mentioned.
- 46:02Speaker 2: It kind of hit me when you said him. Give
- 46:05Speaker 2: me Jack kagleon here going yard tonight.
- 46:08Speaker 1: Jack Kagleon, you know I love that. I'm gonna go
- 46:11Speaker 1: to this Wendy City game. I'm gonna go to the
- 46:14Speaker 1: guy bat in second, righty righty, Ryan Jeffers fifty four
- 46:20Speaker 1: hundred dollars catcher position should be virtually unknowned sub ten percent.
- 46:24Speaker 1: I love Ryan Jeffers. Tonight, run to the quickest window,
- 46:28Speaker 1: get that bet in, and enjoy all your money. All right, Matt,
- 46:32Speaker 1: let's go. Uh, let's go top three stacks and maybe
- 46:36Speaker 1: one outside of the uh. Maybe maybe you're sleeper stack.
- 46:39Speaker 1: And it can't be the Braves.
- 46:43Speaker 2: It won't be the Brave because the Braves are gonna
- 46:45Speaker 2: be in my top three. So we're gonna say twins,
- 46:54Speaker 2: Red's Braves, Sleeper Stack Royals.
- 46:58Speaker 1: Oh, sleeper stack Royals.
- 47:00Speaker 4: All right, We're.

- 47:03Speaker 1: so we gotta be you gotta be quick. The first
- 47:05Speaker 1: one we see, the first one, Matt and I see, Uh.
- 47:08Speaker 1: Do we want to give them both, Matt? Or just
- 47:10Speaker 1: so we want to want to do the oldest.
- 47:15Speaker 2: Uh? Either way? I mean I think it's cool when
- 47:18Speaker 2: you see both years.
- 47:19Speaker 1: So okay, all right, so I know this is a
- 47:22Speaker 1: baseball show. But my boy Matt born and bred, Cleveland

- 47:55Speaker 1: against and the youngest. Yep, we don't have anybody yet.
