- 0:04Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff.
- 0:36Speaker 2: What is going on, everybody? Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone out
- 0:39Speaker 2: there having a great day. We got Gold Cleck, Michael W.,
- 0:42Speaker 2: Gane Green. Hope you're doing well. We're talking baseball, all
- 0:46Speaker 2: the true grinders out there in September. Joining us on
- 0:49Speaker 2: September 15th, I'm with my man G. Rison. His Lions
- 0:52Speaker 2: got lucky. I was cheering against them. Survivor season, boo!
- 0:56Speaker 2: All the fish, all the soakers get their 62-yard missed
- 1:00Speaker 2: field goal. Couldn't go for two or couldn't get it.
- 1:04Speaker 2: It was sad for me. Good for you. You also
- 1:06Speaker 2: got your Tigers shirt on. How are we doing, G-Rise?
- 1:08Speaker 2: It's been a while.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Yeah, always fun to talk some baseball with you.
- 1:14Speaker 1: That is for sure. But yeah, you're right. To be
- 1:16Speaker 1: honest with you, Title, I was also rooting.
- 1:18Speaker 3: For the Lions to lose there at the end because
- 1:21Speaker 3: I did not have them in Survivor, and I'm in
- 1:23Speaker 3: a bunch of pools. So I thought that's okay. The
- 1:26Speaker 3: Chargers got a little bit of the job done. You know,
- 1:29Speaker 3: that definitely... Helped out everybody. The Cardinals fucking went in there,
- 1:34Speaker 3: which is like, come on, Mike McDaniel.
- 1:36Speaker 1: What the hell?
- 1:37Speaker 3: But either way, yeah, it's fun to have some football back.
- 1:40Speaker 3: I mean, we get that little window where we get
- 1:41Speaker 3: both my favorite sports in the same time, football and baseball. But, yeah,
- 1:46Speaker 3: getting down to that nitty gritty. We got, you know,
- 1:50Speaker 3: the weather starting to get a little colder here. And, hey,
- 1:52Speaker 3: happy Roberto Clemente Day to everybody. I see that, you know,
- 1:55Speaker 3: if you follow baseball, watch some highlights of that dude, man.
- 1:58Speaker 3: That dude had a rocket.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Of an arm.
- 2:01Speaker 3: That's for sure. But yeah, let's figure this one out.
- 2:04Speaker 1: We got what? 10 games.
- 2:06Speaker 3: I saw a little bit of weather earlier. I didn't
- 2:08Speaker 3: really check here before we hopped on and that St.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Louis and Cubs game, but it looks like we luckily
- 2:14Speaker 3: got Jacob DeGrom added to the slate halfway through the day.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Cause man, it was, I was looking earlier today. I'm like, fuck,
- 2:19Speaker 3: everybody's playing Logan Gilbert today. There ain't even really any,
- 2:23Speaker 3: you know, too many guys that are even viable to
- 2:25Speaker 3: even try to go to pretty thin today, but We
- 2:29Speaker 3: can dive into it and figure it out what we got.
- 2:31Speaker 1: But, man, it is thin, some thin-ass picking today.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Yeah, that's for sure. Ten games, as you can see,
- 2:37Speaker 2: just sorting by projection. Four pitching, Logan Gilbert kind of
- 2:40Speaker 2: in the tier of his own. And then we got, oh,
- 2:42Speaker 2: I didn't mean to add Goss, man. I think there
- 2:44Speaker 2: are projections. Taking the average right now, Shippenation and Saverson.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I think we're a little light on the ground right now.
- 2:50Speaker 2: So I'll move him up here. Just going to team sacks,
- 2:53Speaker 2: sorting by projected runs. The Padres in Coors Field stand out.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Above six, the next highest is the Yankees in the
- 3:01Speaker 2: high forwards with plenty of other teams sitting there. Again,
- 3:04Speaker 2: 10 games, 7-0-7 Eastern start time. And G.R. Isaac did
- 3:08Speaker 2: mention weather. Braves-Cubs, I'm looking over at Roth on PropFinder. Orange-yellow,
- 3:13Speaker 2: he has this Braves-Cubs game. And then just yellow, he
- 3:17Speaker 2: has the Cardinals game. We'll talk like it all plays,
- 3:19Speaker 2: but Wrigley is the biggest weather question today. What's up, Jake?
- 3:24Speaker 2: Great to see you. What's up, Parrish? Yeah, Waddle definitely
- 3:26Speaker 2: disappointing yesterday. The Chiefs look great. Defense and Spaggs had
- 3:30Speaker 2: it cooking up. All right, let's talk some.
- 3:33Speaker 1: How about the Wolverines, though? I forgot to mention that.
- 3:35Speaker 3: How about the Wolverines beat it?
- 3:38Speaker 1: So I love.
- 3:39Speaker 3: The fact the whole country hates the Wolverines at the moment.
- 3:42Speaker 3: It's like, you know, we get to be like the
- 3:44Speaker 3: bad guy in wrestling. It's freaking awesome.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yeah, but you guys stink.
- 3:48Speaker 1: We do stink. I ain't going to lie.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Bryce Underwood is not very good. But, I mean, damn,
- 3:54Speaker 3: if we wouldn't have recruited him, we'd have Carr from
- 3:56Speaker 3: Notre Dame at Michigan. So that's a double kick in
- 3:58Speaker 3: the nuts for, you know, all those of us to
- 4:00Speaker 3: understand that that is what happened. But either way, man,
- 4:05Speaker 3: I'll just say one thing about that game. When Vegas
- 4:07Speaker 3: has such a liability, I got.
- 4:10Speaker 1: News for you all. It always goes the other way.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Always.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Always.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Damn it.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Like easiest shit. I see that comment.
- 4:17Speaker 3: I told her by that is so easy to see
- 4:19Speaker 3: like Vegas has such a liability on that.
- 4:22Speaker 2: And they didn't back down either.
- 4:24Speaker 3: So, you know, I was like, dude, that shit's hilarious.
- 4:28Speaker 3: I knew that was going to happen.
- 4:30Speaker 2: No, no doubt. That shit was crazy for sure.
- 4:32Speaker 3: All right.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Let's talk some pitching G rise and we're going to
- 4:34Speaker 2: sort by salary. Logan Gilbert at 10 K the chalkiest
- 4:39Speaker 2: option more than likely on the slate. I know we
- 4:41Speaker 2: have Sean Minaya ahead right now. Um, I think it's
- 4:44Speaker 2: probably going to be Logan Gilbert when it's all said
- 4:46Speaker 2: and done. Maybe Minaya. I do think it's one of
- 4:49Speaker 2: those two. And DeGrom probably is the top three. But
- 4:52Speaker 2: let's go. Actually, yeah, let's go all the way. Usually
- 4:54Speaker 2: I cut it off at 8K. But because Sean Minaya
- 4:56Speaker 2: will be one of the chalkiest on the slate, I
- 4:58Speaker 2: want to include him in this loaded upper tier. So
- 5:00Speaker 2: take it away at pitching 7.5K to 10K on DraftKings.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we'll start with Gilbert. I mean, it's
- 5:08Speaker 1: pretty easy.
- 5:09Speaker 3: I mean, we got a guy who's had two games
- 5:11Speaker 3: in a row with 10-plus strikeouts. I like the fact, too,
- 5:15Speaker 3: that he's also on the road. He's been pitching better
- 5:18Speaker 3: on the road. But he gets this Angels team that's
- 5:20Speaker 3: got nothing but strikeouts in that lineup with Netto, 32%, Trout, 27%.
- 5:26Speaker 3: And then the middle part, I mean, the lowest strikeout
- 5:28Speaker 3: bat is Meckler at 19%. Everybody else is in the
- 5:32Speaker 3: high 20s, low 30s. So, I mean, there's definitely some
- 5:36Speaker 3: strikeout opportunities here for Gilbert. And I understand why he's
- 5:41Speaker 3: a little bit chalky.
- 5:42Speaker 1: But.
- 5:43Speaker 3: So I'm not too thrilled on Logan Gilbert's performance as
- 5:48Speaker 3: far as him giving up earned runs for me just
- 5:51Speaker 3: to catch up. Oh, he's SP1 today and he should
- 5:54Speaker 3: be the chalkiest because I truthfully like DeGrom a little
- 5:57Speaker 3: bit more just because I don't feel like DeGrom has
- 6:00Speaker 3: been giving up as many runs recent times. So, sure,
- 6:03Speaker 3: Gilbert's got the better matchup right now against the Angels.
- 6:07Speaker 3: So I'd kind of put them, like, right kind of
- 6:09Speaker 3: even just because Angels, Royals. You know, like, you know,
- 6:15Speaker 3: it's a– the matchup is just way better with the Angels.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Can't spit it out. I was already trying to think
- 6:22Speaker 1: what I was going to say next. But either way, so.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Title for me– I just want DeGrom because of the
- 6:28Speaker 3: fact that I look at his game log.
- 6:30Speaker 1: He's what, in his last seven or eight starts? He
- 6:32Speaker 1: had one bad game. He gave up eight earned runs.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Everything else, it's like one earned run, zero earned runs.
- 6:37Speaker 3: I mean, his strikeouts are there recent times. So, I mean,
- 6:42Speaker 3: for me, I think DeGrom is my favorite just because
- 6:45Speaker 3: of what we're going to be looking at as far
- 6:47Speaker 3: as ownership. And especially then I'm looking at I get
- 6:50Speaker 3: a $ 1, 200 discount and DeGrom at $ 8, 800. Like on FanDuel,
- 6:54Speaker 3: they're literally 100 apart. So I think that makes a
- 6:56Speaker 3: big difference for me. So on FanDuel, Gilbert is by
- 6:59Speaker 3: far the SP1. But for me over on DK, I
- 7:02Speaker 3: think I'd just go flat out DeGrom just because I
- 7:05Speaker 3: like the way he's been pitching a little bit better. So,
- 7:08Speaker 3: I mean, Gilbert has been prone to give up some
- 7:11Speaker 3: power too, especially to the right side. And the Angels
- 7:13Speaker 3: definitely have some power. So for me, I think DeGrom
- 7:16Speaker 3: for me is the guy that I'm looking at. Now
- 7:20Speaker 3: the wild card, my favorite pivot of the bunch is,
- 7:23Speaker 3: is going to be Hunter Brown. I think Hunter Brown
- 7:26Speaker 3: has looked really good here in recent times. That's when
- 7:28Speaker 3: I was saying Royals. But Brown for me is a
- 7:31Speaker 3: guy I like too, title. So Brown and DeGrom, I
- 7:35Speaker 3: think I have ahead of Gilbert on DK. Just because
- 7:38Speaker 3: Brown's looked really good in his recent times. His pitch
- 7:41Speaker 3: count's been up there about 100 each time. He's got 7-7,
- 7:44Speaker 3: 10 Ks his last three starts. His issue was his control.
- 7:48Speaker 3: So I think Brown, for me, has looked pretty good
- 7:52Speaker 3: with his control. He's had zero walks, two walks, one walk.
- 7:55Speaker 3: So I'm satisfied with that. So I think Brown, for me,
- 7:59Speaker 3: kind of moves up a little bit ahead of Gilbert,
- 8:01Speaker 3: especially in the tournament, with tournaments. I mean, if I'm
- 8:04Speaker 3: playing cash, yeah, I'd go DeGrom and Gilbert without even question.
- 8:10Speaker 3: But I think you can throw in Brown and feel
- 8:12Speaker 3: pretty good about it, especially with Gilbert. going to be
- 8:15Speaker 3: so chalky. And then moving on down, Waka, I'm not
- 8:18Speaker 3: really interested in. Freed against Minnesota is tough because he
- 8:21Speaker 3: just hasn't been getting the pitch count lately. I mean,
- 8:24Speaker 3: he's at 80, 72, 63 pitches. That to me is
- 8:28Speaker 3: too risky for me. So I let other people play him.
- 8:31Speaker 3: I'm not even interested in Max Freed. So I'd pass
- 8:34Speaker 3: on him. Gossman against the Braves, Man, I just think
- 8:41Speaker 3: that's pretty tough. I think that I'd rather play some
- 8:43Speaker 3: of the Braves, to be honest with you, than Minaya
- 8:47Speaker 3: against the Orioles. I mean, sure, the Orioles do strike
- 8:50Speaker 3: out quite a bit. But, man, I'm not sure if
- 8:54Speaker 3: I really like Sean Minaya all that much. So, I mean,
- 8:58Speaker 3: I'd play him if I'm looking for some salary, maybe
- 9:00Speaker 3: to try to get some Padre bats out there in
- 9:02Speaker 3: Coors Field. I think, you know, you'd probably– almost every
- 9:05Speaker 3: Coors Field is probably going to have a Minaya. in
- 9:08Speaker 3: the lineup so because there really isn't much else unless
- 9:11Speaker 3: you really want to go down to like Palante who
- 9:13Speaker 3: has really no strikeout capabilities I can't really go any
- 9:17Speaker 3: lower than that to be honest with you I mean man.
- 9:20Speaker 1: I'd have to get the whiskey bottle out.
- 9:22Speaker 3: And the bong to play anybody else below that so
- 9:25Speaker 3: for me pretty easy title I mean There really isn't
- 9:29Speaker 3: much to choose from, to be honest with you.
- 9:31Speaker 1: I mean, Gilbert, Brown, and then adding DeGrom made it
- 9:34Speaker 1: a little easier.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Gilbert really would be pretty– I think Gilbert would have
- 9:39Speaker 3: been 70% today if it wasn't for DeGrom getting at it.
- 9:42Speaker 1: But I do like DeGrom more.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Maybe he won't get his plate as much just because
- 9:46Speaker 3: he came kind of late into the day.
- 9:49Speaker 1: So maybe we're getting a little bit of a discount.
- 9:52Speaker 1: But I don't know, man.
- 9:54Speaker 3: I just don't like the way Gilbert, for me to
- 9:57Speaker 3: be sure that he's the SP1 just the way his
- 10:00Speaker 3: recent times have been.
- 10:01Speaker 1: He's been getting beat up a little too much for me.
- 10:04Speaker 3: With the discount I get on DeGrom, the ownership discount,
- 10:07Speaker 3: I just put DeGrom ahead of him.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Yeah, and I do want to circle back a little
- 10:11Speaker 2: bit where I'm not as certain– it's going to be
- 10:14Speaker 2: Gilbert one, Minaya two, DeGrom three. I wouldn't be surprised
- 10:18Speaker 2: if Minaya is the chalkiest. And honestly, DeGrom, I guess
- 10:22Speaker 2: I wouldn't be as shocked either. Like you said, DeGrom
- 10:24Speaker 2: has been really, really good as of late. People are
- 10:28Speaker 2: going to see that. And you get the discount on DraftKings, 8.8K
- 10:33Speaker 2: to 10K. 1,200 on the Coors Field Slate does go
- 10:36Speaker 2: a long way. So I think it's going to be
- 10:38Speaker 2: pretty close in ownership when it comes to these three guys.
- 10:42Speaker 2: And then after that, Hunter Brown I think is going
- 10:44Speaker 2: to be the one. He would be my– I like
- 10:46Speaker 2: him and Max Freed as pivots. Freed is most definitely
- 10:50Speaker 2: tougher to do because of the pitch count worries, but
- 10:53Speaker 2: good strikeout stuff, good matchup. And, I mean, just looking
- 10:56Speaker 2: at the projection and the ownership around the other top-tier
- 10:59Speaker 2: guys on a slate that I don't like pitching much
- 11:02Speaker 2: and I'm struggling to get to other guys, I think
- 11:04Speaker 2: I need another pivot besides Hunter Brown who's going to
- 11:07Speaker 2: get some ownership. And Max Freed is that one for me.
- 11:10Speaker 2: I don't hate Gossman if Roth gave the green light
- 11:14Speaker 2: or thinks it would be fine, but there is potential
- 11:16Speaker 2: for delay early in that game. So that does cause
- 11:19Speaker 2: me some concern. We had Andrew Martinez ask about Sandoval,
- 11:24Speaker 2: Patrick Sandoval, taking on Texas. Any thoughts there? Other side
- 11:29Speaker 2: of the drum?
- 11:30Speaker 1: I worry about Sandoval.
- 11:31Speaker 3: His control has just been awful lately, especially the last
- 11:35Speaker 3: 30 days. I mean, he's going to see a bunch
- 11:36Speaker 3: of righties who are pretty patient from the– From the Rangers,
- 11:41Speaker 3: I mean, Foscue's at 9%. We got Seager 10%, John 13.5%.
- 11:46Speaker 3: We got Langford, Duran, they're all over 10%. So, I mean,
- 11:51Speaker 3: he's going to have to work a little bit here.
- 11:53Speaker 3: I mean, against righties, he does have a fairly decent
- 11:57Speaker 3: K percentage at 20%. But he's been getting beat up
- 12:01Speaker 3: a little bit here in recent times with righties too.
- 12:03Speaker 3: I mean, he's got 11%. barrel up rate in the
- 12:06Speaker 3: last 30 days over 78 at-bats, which is fairly decent
- 12:10Speaker 3: over a 38-day span. And he's got a 410 WOBA.
- 12:13Speaker 3: So his ground balls are down a little bit too.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Normally he's at like a 52% rate, and he's at
- 12:19Speaker 3: like 38%.
- 12:19Speaker 1: So he's trending downward.
- 12:24Speaker 3: As the season goes on, I don't really like that
- 12:26Speaker 3: in pitchers, but we are pretty thin today. He'd probably
- 12:29Speaker 3: be the only guy I'd call a pivot off Minaya,
- 12:31Speaker 3: but I don't like it. There's too many red flags
- 12:33Speaker 3: for me. He's the kind of play like you think
- 12:35Speaker 3: you overthinking it. And then when you play him and
- 12:38Speaker 3: then it gets his, he's getting beat up and he
- 12:39Speaker 3: gives up, you know, a few walks and gets beat up.
- 12:41Speaker 3: You're like, God damn, I knew that. Like, why would
- 12:43Speaker 3: I even do that? You know, that's, that's like that
- 12:46Speaker 3: kind of thing, you know? So like I've, I'm trying
- 12:48Speaker 3: not to in my, you.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Know, days, even in football, like you always play that guy.
- 12:53Speaker 1: You're like, why? How the fuck did I play him, man?
- 12:55Speaker 3: Like, I got sucked into somebody believing, you know, and
- 12:59Speaker 3: it's just like, nah. So I just, I'm not a
- 13:02Speaker 3: fan of Sandoval today. But I do like the matchup
- 13:04Speaker 3: he's got with DeGrom. I do like pitchers dueling against
- 13:07Speaker 3: each other. So if that means anything.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Any thought on Blade Tidwell or Ryan Johnson or like
- 13:14Speaker 2: a Zach Allen? Any full punts to go like a
- 13:17Speaker 2: Gilbert full punt that's low owned, then play Coors field
- 13:21Speaker 2: bats or DeGrom punt with Coors? Bats, is there anyone
- 13:25Speaker 2: down there? They're all showing super, super low ownership. Or
- 13:28Speaker 2: is it just giving up too much?
- 13:30Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're giving up too much. If you're
- 13:32Speaker 3: going to do that, just play a Palante. Maybe you
- 13:34Speaker 3: can get that quality start. I mean, well, on FanDuel.
- 13:37Speaker 3: But maybe you can eat up some innings and some
- 13:39Speaker 3: outs with Palante. It's just not a strikeout matchup. So
- 13:43Speaker 3: I think he'd be the safest just because he's got
- 13:45Speaker 3: a good matchup against the Giants, which we know that
- 13:50Speaker 3: they suck. But just everywhere else, it's just... I just
- 13:54Speaker 3: think the percentages of you hitting that play are way
- 13:57Speaker 3: too low for me to get too excited about it.
- 13:59Speaker 3: Maybe if you're one 50, you could include a few
- 14:02Speaker 3: of them guys, but I wouldn't go to, I wouldn't
- 14:05Speaker 3: get too silly with it.
- 14:06Speaker 2: All right. Makes sense. Yeah. I really like Hunter Brown.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Like he'd be arguably first, like the Grom and Hunter Brown,
- 14:14Speaker 2: one a one B just add ownership. Again, he'll be
- 14:18Speaker 2: the fourth highest home. He's not going to be low
- 14:19Speaker 2: owned by any means, but, I do think he is
- 14:22Speaker 2: a pretty solid pivot in the upper tier with as
- 14:24Speaker 2: much ownership as almost anyone. Yeah, we just talked about that, William.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Not too much interest, but if I had to go
- 14:30Speaker 2: down there, he would be the guy, Ryan Johnson, for me.
- 14:34Speaker 2: All right, let's get out of our partner optimizer, SaberSim.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Let's first go and share our home screen over here
- 14:42Speaker 2: at Shippenation. Usually there's an easy... An easy switch, not today.
- 14:48Speaker 2: But as you can see, obviously it's NFL season heading
- 14:51Speaker 2: into week two. Hope you guys and gals had a
- 14:54Speaker 2: good week one. If not, obviously MLB going on today.
- 14:58Speaker 2: We have college football going on. We have NFL going on.
- 15:01Speaker 2: PGA this Thursday as well. NASCAR Sundays, MMA Saturdays. There's
- 15:06Speaker 2: a lot more than just NFL going on. So if
- 15:08Speaker 2: you do just want NFL, you can see NFL only.
- 15:10Speaker 2: You get SaberSim, Discord, access to ship a game for $ 349. 00.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Join the nation. Bottom left, though, a lot of different options.
- 15:18Speaker 2: I think a good time to join is the monthly
- 15:21Speaker 2: deals because that does qualify you for the $ 45, 000 all
- 15:25Speaker 2: access in Ship It Games. Tambo just posted the link
- 15:29Speaker 2: in Discord today, so there's still spots to get in.
- 15:32Speaker 2: 499 people. If you click the Discord link, you join
- 15:34Speaker 2: a free roll. If you take top three, you do
- 15:36Speaker 2: get entered into that. If you just click the Ship
- 15:39Speaker 2: It Games banner, you can get all the details for that.
- 15:41Speaker 2: But awesome stuff. Giving away so much money, cash and prizes. Again,
- 15:46Speaker 2: you do have to be an NFL only member or
- 15:48Speaker 2: an all access member. A starter, you get more than
- 15:52Speaker 2: the core members. So you can see 100 liners for core,
- 15:55Speaker 2: 500 for starter. You get late swap, you get Saberson's
- 15:58Speaker 2: projections and ownership, portfolio diversification, contest flashback to see what
- 16:02Speaker 2: the pros are doing. I think starter is the best
- 16:05Speaker 2: deal out there. If you just want to try us
- 16:06Speaker 2: out though, five days for $ 19 is also a good
- 16:09Speaker 2: way to get your feet wet and see what we
- 16:11Speaker 2: are all about. All right, let's talk some bats. We
- 16:15Speaker 2: are going over to the Stone. As you can see, MLB,
- 16:17Speaker 2: the Stone. We also do have the Stone 2.0 and
- 16:20Speaker 2: the Slate Station, which breaks down everything on the Slates.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Core reports on there as well. All right, let's get
- 16:28Speaker 2: to 7-0-7 Eastern, the first game. Your Detroit Tigers taking
- 16:32Speaker 2: on the Toronto Blue Jays. Spencer Miles, Drew Anderson on
- 16:35Speaker 2: the mound. Take it away in this one, G-Ryzen. What
- 16:37Speaker 2: are you looking at?
- 16:39Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody left the Tigers to die, but all of
- 16:42Speaker 3: a sudden they've been looking fairly decent here. In recent times,
- 16:46Speaker 3: I think it's five or six in a row, I believe,
- 16:49Speaker 3: at this point. But, I mean, I've been playing the
- 16:53Speaker 3: Blue Jays all year. Drew Anderson isn't really anybody that
- 16:57Speaker 3: I want to use as far as DFS goes. But,
- 17:01Speaker 3: I mean, he's a heavy ground ball type pitcher. I
- 17:03Speaker 3: just don't see any reason for me to try to
- 17:06Speaker 3: jam in any Blue Jays.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Maybe.
- 17:08Speaker 3: You know, if you wanted a cheap bat, like Brett Bateman,
- 17:11Speaker 3: if you wanted to go something like that. But I'm
- 17:15Speaker 3: not really a fan here of attacking Mr.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Anderson.
- 17:19Speaker 1: And then the Tigers.
- 17:20Speaker 3: Against Fisher, I just don't have it really up there
- 17:24Speaker 3: as high as some others that I like. I mean,
- 17:27Speaker 3: I'd probably not even have the Tigers in my top
- 17:30Speaker 3: 10 today in the upper half of the stacks. But
- 17:34Speaker 3: they have been hitting a little bit. I mean, Riley
- 17:36Speaker 3: Green's been looking pretty decent. But I don't really want
- 17:40Speaker 3: to fool with the Blue Jays bullpen or the Blue
- 17:42Speaker 3: Jays here at this point.
- 17:44Speaker 1: I just pass.
- 17:44Speaker 3: Even though the game total is an 8.5, but we
- 17:47Speaker 3: do have that Coors field game. Literally, I was just
- 17:51Speaker 3: kind of checking it out. Almost every game is 8
- 17:54Speaker 3: or 8.5 except that Coors game.
- 17:56Speaker 1: So, you know, you're just kind of looking. It's all
- 17:58Speaker 1: kind of bunched up. But, yeah, I got a few
- 18:01Speaker 1: offenses I think can keep up with the Coors game,
- 18:03Speaker 1: and neither one of these two are it.
- 18:07Speaker 2: That's fair. I think the Tigers are a little interesting.
- 18:10Speaker 2: You want lefties against Miles. We're showing, yeah. Is it
- 18:16Speaker 2: Miles opening and then, let me look at this quick. Yeah,
- 18:26Speaker 2: it's Braden Fisher. I don't know why we're showing Miles. Fisher,
- 18:30Speaker 2: then Miles, and then Miles. I would say this Fisher
- 18:34Speaker 2: guy gets beat up by lefties quite a bit, but
- 18:36Speaker 2: they're only going to see like one at bat. They're,
- 18:38Speaker 2: I mean, they're relatively cheap and they're super low on.
- 18:40Speaker 2: So if you're going to Mania and a DeGrom or Gilbert,
- 18:44Speaker 2: if you're Coors Field, something like that, I don't hate
- 18:46Speaker 2: throwing in, I guess, either side just to be contrarian.
- 18:50Speaker 2: But yeah, it's not a spot. I want a full
- 18:52Speaker 2: five man stack very much.
- 18:55Speaker 3: I got a 4.1 team total where you're looking at
- 18:58Speaker 3: like the blue Jays got a four 17 total, you know,
- 19:01Speaker 3: you may, I just don't, I mean, I don't necessarily
- 19:04Speaker 3: agree with that. I just think they're kind of picking
- 19:06Speaker 3: on Anderson, but I think it's more equal. And I just,
- 19:09Speaker 3: I wouldn't play the blue Jays being a, being a team.
- 19:12Speaker 3: That's what I think they're like in the top five
- 19:15Speaker 3: or six for, you know, total runs today, team total,
- 19:18Speaker 3: like they're, they're up there, but I just, I wouldn't
- 19:19Speaker 3: have them rank that high myself.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Yeah. That makes sense. Next game on the slate, the
- 19:24Speaker 2: Mets and the O's. Shane Baz, Sean Minaya on the mound.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I actually don't hate some of the O's, again, especially
- 19:30Speaker 2: more in chalky stuff. But Minaya is going to be
- 19:33Speaker 2: the first or second chalkiest pitcher on the slate. And
- 19:36Speaker 2: he does get hit a little bit against righties. So
- 19:39Speaker 2: very tough on lefties. But like Pete Alonso, Encarnacion, Mayo,
- 19:45Speaker 2: if you really want to go down dumpster dive, if
- 19:47Speaker 2: Carlos Narvaez, min price, 2K catchers in the lineup. I
- 19:51Speaker 2: think you can do worse than a mini stack O's
- 19:54Speaker 2: on the right side. Mets, I really have not played
- 19:57Speaker 2: the Mets much this year. I don't think today's the
- 19:59Speaker 2: day I want to do it.
- 20:01Speaker 3: You know, I haven't been playing the Mets either, but
- 20:04Speaker 3: I was just taking a peek a little bit here
- 20:06Speaker 3: earlier today when I was just doing some of the research.
- 20:09Speaker 3: And the Mets have been grading out pretty good in
- 20:12Speaker 3: the last couple weeks. They're up there in the top
- 20:14Speaker 3: of slugging of all of baseball here in the last
- 20:17Speaker 3: few weeks.
- 20:17Speaker 1: So, I mean.
- 20:20Speaker 3: You know, just going off of that, Baz hasn't been
- 20:23Speaker 3: really that great here in recent times. So I think
- 20:28Speaker 3: especially the lefties have really gotten to him. He's got
- 20:31Speaker 3: almost an 11.5% walk rate. His Woba is like 314.
- 20:35Speaker 3: His ground ball percentage is really low at 30%. He's
- 20:38Speaker 3: at 40% fly ball rate. He's been getting barreled up. So,
- 20:42Speaker 3: I mean, there is kind of a lot to like
- 20:44Speaker 3: when you look at it. And then you just look, oh, Mets.
- 20:46Speaker 3: And you're like, ah, shit. But, you know, I do
- 20:49Speaker 3: think the Mets are interesting. I'd call them a sneakier
- 20:52Speaker 3: stack today, especially because they've been hitting well. Baz hasn't
- 20:54Speaker 3: really been pitching well. And I do like some of
- 20:57Speaker 3: the lefties of the Mets.
- 20:59Speaker 2: All right. There you go. I mean, I think Juan
- 21:01Speaker 2: Soto is good, obviously, but he's 6.1K. I mean, you
- 21:04Speaker 2: can come on and say that every single day. You
- 21:06Speaker 2: like the Mets a little more than I do. I
- 21:09Speaker 2: think the O's are a little interesting just for a
- 21:11Speaker 2: lot of leverage off of a chalky pitcher. Solid price tags.
- 21:14Speaker 2: You do want the righties for the O's. Our next
- 21:18Speaker 2: game on the slate, the most concerning for weather right now,
- 21:21Speaker 2: it feels like bats he thinks will be fine. Both
- 21:25Speaker 2: might end up being fine as well, but monitor it
- 21:28Speaker 2: in Wrigley, the Cubs and the Braves. Martin Perez and
- 21:31Speaker 2: Kevin Gossman on the mound. I respect Martin Perez in
- 21:35Speaker 2: real life enough where he keeps the ball on the ground,
- 21:39Speaker 2: doesn't walk many guys, especially the left side. If you
- 21:42Speaker 2: play against some, if you play or pick on them,
- 21:44Speaker 2: you want more righties, but Again, he keeps the ball
- 21:47Speaker 2: on the ground. Not really where I want to go.
- 21:49Speaker 2: And then on the brave side against Gossman, another one
- 21:53Speaker 2: I respect. I guess more fly ball risk. He definitely
- 21:57Speaker 2: gives up some home runs. Olsen, Harris, Acuna, Drake, like
- 22:01Speaker 2: the top of the order. But it's a 10-game slate
- 22:03Speaker 2: with 20 teams. I'm not sure this is the one
- 22:07Speaker 2: I want to go to, but I don't know. I
- 22:08Speaker 2: guess now that I'm saying it, pricing is fine. All
- 22:11Speaker 2: the hitter rankings are in the top 70 in the
- 22:13Speaker 2: first four spots. So if I'm playing the Braves, I'm
- 22:15Speaker 2: just going to go one through four or one through
- 22:18Speaker 2: five or something like that and give me the power
- 22:20Speaker 2: and the best ones. Do you think you'll have them
- 22:23Speaker 2: in your top five or any Braves for you?
- 22:25Speaker 3: No, I mean, I don't want to fool with, uh,
- 22:28Speaker 3: Martin Perez with the Cubs.
- 22:30Speaker 1: I mean, Cubs had been really good.
- 22:32Speaker 3: I mean, obviously PCA is fun to watch what, what
- 22:34Speaker 3: he's doing, but Perez just doesn't seem to get hit
- 22:37Speaker 3: very hard. And I sure the hell don't want to
- 22:38Speaker 3: fool with that Braves bullpen and Gossman. I mean, maybe
- 22:42Speaker 3: power hunting with some lefties. Maybe we could do that.
- 22:45Speaker 3: I mean, I don't mind that at all. I mean,
- 22:47Speaker 3: his last 30 days, he has been getting beat up
- 22:48Speaker 3: a little bit by righties, but, um, I mean, maybe
- 22:52Speaker 3: you could look at, like, Olsen, if you wanted to
- 22:54Speaker 3: go there. Baldwin, like you said, maybe the top part
- 22:56Speaker 3: of that lineup.
- 22:57Speaker 1: I don't love it.
- 22:57Speaker 3: I got some other teams that I'd much rather prefer
- 23:02Speaker 3: than them. But, I mean, I'd have them ranked, like,
- 23:06Speaker 3: ahead of the Tigers, but I don't have the Braves
- 23:09Speaker 3: ranked all that high.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Fair enough. I do like one through four, the more
- 23:14Speaker 2: I talked about it. And, again, they're, I guess, relatively expensive. Like,
- 23:17Speaker 2: that's where you can play a Sean Minaya chalk. And
- 23:20Speaker 2: then to go with the Braves instead of the Padres.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Easy way to get different. Then you can play chalk
- 23:26Speaker 2: at SB2. So I don't mind it one bit. Again,
- 23:29Speaker 2: appreciate everyone hanging out. Over 100 watching live. I know
- 23:32Speaker 2: many watch on playback. All we ask is a like
- 23:34Speaker 2: button and a subscribe button. Helps us out a ton.
- 23:37Speaker 2: It's Tuesday during NFL season, so that means nothing else
- 23:40Speaker 2: in town besides baseball. Contests are good. And Dana White
- 23:44Speaker 2: Contenders Series for any of my true MMA grinders out there.
- 23:48Speaker 2: But baseball is... All hands on deck and all of
- 23:52Speaker 2: our content is up here. MLB at Chippenation.com. Projections, ownership, FanDuel, DraftKings,
- 23:57Speaker 2: The Stone. The Stone 2.0 allows you to virtual hand build,
- 24:01Speaker 2: plug things in. And then the Slate Station, again, has
- 24:04Speaker 2: the breakdown of the Slate, core reports, hitter rankings, stack rankings,
- 24:09Speaker 2: pitcher rankings, everything you need. All right, let's get to...
- 24:13Speaker 2: Maybe the second chalkiest team on the slate. Second highest
- 24:16Speaker 2: run total in the Yankees taking on the Twins. Max
- 24:18Speaker 2: Fried and Bailey Ober on the mound. Yeah, Yankees are
- 24:22Speaker 2: getting some ownership. Top half of the order, relatively expensive.
- 24:25Speaker 2: The bottom half, cheap. But again, with ownership, I'll let
- 24:30Speaker 2: you talk about it first. Bailey Ober is someone you
- 24:33Speaker 2: can pick on, though.
- 24:34Speaker 3: Hell yeah, we're going to pick on some Bailey Ober.
- 24:37Speaker 3: This guy is just not very good. I mean, he's
- 24:39Speaker 3: a soft tossing righty. So, I mean, to me, I mean,
- 24:43Speaker 3: his walk percentage has been pretty bad here in the
- 24:46Speaker 3: last 30 days to left.
- 24:48Speaker 2: He's at 13%.
- 24:49Speaker 3: I mean, his fly ball percentage has been a little
- 24:52Speaker 3: bit higher here. So, I mean, we– I definitely– like
- 24:56Speaker 3: the power the Yankees are bringing from the left side.
- 24:58Speaker 3: And then they get to throw Aaron Judge back in
- 25:00Speaker 3: the middle of that here over the last week. So Rice, Bellinger, Garcia, Jones, McMahon,
- 25:05Speaker 3: I mean, they all got power. So and then that bullpen,
- 25:09Speaker 3: definitely want to attack that. So definitely checking a couple
- 25:11Speaker 3: of the boxes. So the Yankees for me are a
- 25:14Speaker 3: team I think I don't mind wanting to put up
- 25:17Speaker 3: against like that Coors Field in the Padre game. I
- 25:20Speaker 3: put the Yankees in that bucket where I think they
- 25:22Speaker 3: could definitely– get the job done for us here today.
- 25:25Speaker 3: I got maybe three or four teams that I think
- 25:27Speaker 3: potentially could keep up with the Padres. So they're definitely
- 25:33Speaker 3: one of them. I like stacking up the Yankees.
- 25:36Speaker 1: I'm all about it.
- 25:37Speaker 3: That's one I definitely, I do prefer that one actually
- 25:40Speaker 3: over the course field game.
- 25:43Speaker 2: All right. I like it. And you'll definitely get an
- 25:45Speaker 2: ownership discount. I like the Yankees quite a bit too.
- 25:48Speaker 2: If this ownership stays true, I'm fine. Obviously in baseball,
- 25:51Speaker 2: it's a little bit chalky, but nothing like the Padres.
- 25:55Speaker 2: And we had like five pitchers that I'd be fine
- 25:57Speaker 2: playing with. Enough low-owned secondary stacks. One through nine in play.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Position eligibility lines up as well. I like it a lot.
- 26:05Speaker 2: No interest in the Twins for me. Next game, Giants, Cardinals, Blake, Tidwell,
- 26:11Speaker 2: Andre Palante. Neither guy getting much ownership. I will say,
- 26:16Speaker 2: if you just look at our, again, everything that you
- 26:18Speaker 2: need on the stone is right here. Pitcher rankings. are
- 26:21Speaker 2: in the bottom. And Andre Palante, number five in our
- 26:23Speaker 2: pitcher rankings, is pretty good when you're looking at 5%
- 26:28Speaker 2: and only 8K. So that kind of just limits my
- 26:31Speaker 2: interest in the Giants naturally. And it's, yeah, no Rafi
- 26:35Speaker 2: Devers in the lineup with this confirmed Giants team. That
- 26:38Speaker 2: is a bad lineup. I think Palante could be fine. Cardinals,
- 26:42Speaker 2: I like Burleson. He's a complete monster. I like him.
- 26:45Speaker 2: I don't know how much one through nine interest I
- 26:47Speaker 2: have or even five-man stacking, but power hunting... as many
- 26:51Speaker 2: sacks i think's fine what do you think.
- 26:54Speaker 3: Yeah i'm not uh i don't like fooling with puente
- 26:57Speaker 3: he's got such a heavy ground ball lean but you're
- 27:00Speaker 3: right man after looking at that san fran lineup without
- 27:02Speaker 3: devers and it's like who in the hell are these
- 27:04Speaker 3: dudes man like not uh not too much there really.
- 27:08Speaker 2: So maybe would you maybe circle back and play a
- 27:11Speaker 2: little bit of puente at 8k We're still not enough upside.
- 27:14Speaker 1: I think he becomes more.
- 27:15Speaker 3: Of a pivot for me off of Minaya. You know,
- 27:18Speaker 3: I feel a little better about it. I don't feel
- 27:20Speaker 3: good about his strikeout capabilities, to be honest with you.
- 27:23Speaker 3: I mean, he's not a guy that's– I mean, he's
- 27:26Speaker 3: got– I mean, his last, well, 30 days got like
- 27:30Speaker 3: a 10% strikeout rate to righties. He's at 18 and
- 27:33Speaker 3: a half percent for the season. He's basically like a
- 27:35Speaker 3: 17 and a half, 17% strikeout pitcher with ground ball rates,
- 27:40Speaker 3: you know, to the left side, he's at 57% ground balls.
- 27:43Speaker 3: So I, you know, I, I think he definitely can
- 27:47Speaker 3: eat some outs, but I mean, I just don't think
- 27:50Speaker 3: he's got any upside, but Today, on today's slate, I
- 27:54Speaker 3: would say there isn't too many landmines where I feel
- 27:57Speaker 3: like I got to have them. But really on DK, man,
- 27:59Speaker 3: I think I'd just do DeGrom and Gilbert because I
- 28:01Speaker 3: don't really like the Padres. So I think that alone
- 28:04Speaker 3: just makes me a little bit different. So I would
- 28:06Speaker 3: just eat the chalk at pitching and kind of move on.
- 28:08Speaker 3: And like you said, maybe we could use some Brown
- 28:10Speaker 3: if you wanted to mix them up. If you got
- 28:12Speaker 3: two or three teams, throw in some Brown, maybe with DeGrom.
- 28:16Speaker 3: You know, maybe I'd do that. I feel good about that. But, yeah, free,
- 28:20Speaker 3: like I said, no pitch count, Palante, Minaya. I'd rather
- 28:23Speaker 3: play Palante than Minaya, to be truthful with you. I
- 28:26Speaker 3: think everybody just sees Orioles and, oh, they struck out
- 28:28Speaker 3: the most against lefties, and they're just automatically kind of
- 28:31Speaker 3: jamming them in.
- 28:31Speaker 1: But, yeah, I don't know.
- 28:33Speaker 3: I just– It just seems like to me, I don't know,
- 28:36Speaker 3: in my mind, it seems like chalky pitching has been
- 28:38Speaker 3: kind of getting beat up more in recent times.
- 28:40Speaker 1: So, you know, I don't think any of these guys.
- 28:43Speaker 3: Here that are chalky pitchers today are like overwhelmingly, you know,
- 28:47Speaker 3: that good.
- 28:47Speaker 1: So especially Minaya. So, yeah.
- 28:49Speaker 3: So Palante for me, I'd bump him up a little bit.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Just seeing how bad that that lineup is, just knowing
- 28:54Speaker 3: that he's going to eat out. And my mind thinks
- 28:56Speaker 3: like FanDuel. So I'm already thinking he's pretty good. You know,
- 28:59Speaker 3: in a pretty good position to get a quality start,
- 29:01Speaker 3: and I think that's something that would bump him up
- 29:04Speaker 3: a little bit more on FanDuel than on DK.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Yeah, on DK you've got to play two pitchers, though,
- 29:09Speaker 2: and he's so low on. So I like it. I
- 29:11Speaker 2: definitely like it on DK. And a pretty big favorite
- 29:15Speaker 2: is Palante, too. So, yeah, I like it. I definitely do.
- 29:20Speaker 2: You can hear that pretty loud, you, Ryzen?
- 29:23Speaker 1: What, them pounding on the wall?
- 29:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:26Speaker 1: No, it's Barry. That's the first time I heard it. Sorry.
- 29:34Speaker 2: All right. All right. Let's, she's the, she's the forever
- 29:38Speaker 2: on Washington. My wife is the man of the house.
- 29:41Speaker 2: She calls herself Barb the builder, but she's always drilling
- 29:44Speaker 2: stuff in all these pictures and all this hanging things.
- 29:47Speaker 2: So I give my wife a big shout out, but yeah.
- 29:51Speaker 1: There's a, there's an art to hanging shit. Like people like,
- 29:54Speaker 1: especially if you want them like all lined up and stuff.
- 29:57Speaker 1: I mean, there's an art to it.
- 29:58Speaker 2: Like she's got her laser out there. Yeah. Leveler. Yeah,
- 30:05Speaker 2: I hold stuff up for her when she's drilling stuff
- 30:08Speaker 2: in and things. But, yeah, she's the builder. Shout out
- 30:10Speaker 2: to my wife for sure. All right, let's get to
- 30:13Speaker 2: this next game on the slate, the Rangers and the
- 30:15Speaker 2: Red Sox. Patrick Sandoval, Jacob DeGrom on the mound. I mean,
- 30:19Speaker 2: I'm not picking on DeGrom. I will say, though, if
- 30:21Speaker 2: Sandoval is really going to be 17%, and I don't
- 30:24Speaker 2: necessarily believe it. I think it might be like 12%. Regardless,
- 30:28Speaker 2: you get some leverage there. And, man, I like this
- 30:31Speaker 2: Rangers team. Look at that. No one priced above 5K.
- 30:35Speaker 2: Corey Seager at 4-4 is a joke. Second base, shortstop,
- 30:38Speaker 2: third base, first base, outfield is the first five positions.
- 30:42Speaker 2: So they're easy to stack, good in the hitter rankings.
- 30:45Speaker 2: Rangers are up there for me, G. Rison, especially when
- 30:48Speaker 2: I want to play DeGrom and Gilbert or Hunter Brown, DeGrom,
- 30:55Speaker 2: and maybe some Padres bats. Or maybe you do go Minaya. DeGrom, Rangers,
- 31:02Speaker 2: and Padres. They're low enough owned right now. I think
- 31:05Speaker 2: you can do a lot with them and they're cheap
- 31:07Speaker 2: and they're easy to stack at the position. So I'm
- 31:10Speaker 2: on the Rangers today. Might be a hot take. Definitely
- 31:12Speaker 2: looks at it or looks like it at ownership. What
- 31:15Speaker 2: do you think?
- 31:16Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I don't mind it.
- 31:18Speaker 3: As I said, during the pitching, Sandoval has been trending
- 31:20Speaker 3: backwards here in recent times.
- 31:22Speaker 1: So Yeah, especially the righties.
- 31:25Speaker 3: I mean, they got some decent righties with some pop,
- 31:27Speaker 3: especially against lefties. Sandoval isn't a guy that's going to
- 31:30Speaker 3: overwhelm you with his, you know, any of the stuff
- 31:35Speaker 3: he's bringing to the table.
- 31:36Speaker 1: And he's had.
- 31:37Speaker 3: Just awful, been awful recently with his control. So if
- 31:41Speaker 3: he's not getting the ball over the plate and that
- 31:43Speaker 3: 410 Woba in his last 30 days or his last
- 31:46Speaker 3: handful of starts, isn't going to get him anywhere. So, yeah,
- 31:50Speaker 3: I'd put them on a low owned, you know, the
- 31:52Speaker 3: low owned bucket that I think can definitely help. keep
- 31:55Speaker 3: up with the better teams today. So yeah, I don't
- 32:00Speaker 3: mind that at all. I think that's actually kind of
- 32:02Speaker 3: a sneaky type play. Now, I don't generally like looking
- 32:06Speaker 3: at playing teams out there in Texas, but yeah, I
- 32:10Speaker 3: think we could pick on Sandoval.
- 32:12Speaker 1: I would rather pick on Sandoval than play him.
- 32:14Speaker 3: As I said, I didn't like him at the top
- 32:16Speaker 3: just because I think he's been trending backwards.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the Rangers. Everything checks the boxes for me.
- 32:22Speaker 2: I hope that ownership stays true. Next game, Astros and
- 32:26Speaker 2: the Royals. Michael Wacca, Hunter Brown on the mound. I
- 32:29Speaker 2: like Hunter Brown, so I do not like these Orioles much.
- 32:32Speaker 2: I will say, like, Caglione is just a complete stud.
- 32:35Speaker 2: Hunter Brown even gets a boost to his matchup. No
- 32:39Speaker 2: Salve Perez in the lineup for Kansas City. Let's see
- 32:42Speaker 2: if we have it updated on the stone yet. Nope,
- 32:45Speaker 2: not yet, but no Salve is definitely an upgrade for him.
- 32:48Speaker 2: What do you think of the Astros compared to the Royals?
- 32:50Speaker 2: All right, what do you think of the Astros against Wacca?
- 32:53Speaker 2: And do you have any different takes than me on
- 32:56Speaker 2: the Royals?
- 32:58Speaker 3: You know, the Astros, I could consider if I was
- 33:02Speaker 3: playing a deeper pool just because that bullpen so bad
- 33:05Speaker 3: with Kansas City. And, you know, what are we going
- 33:06Speaker 3: to get out of Walker? I mean, he he doesn't
- 33:09Speaker 3: get beat up all that much. I mean, it's fly
- 33:11Speaker 3: ball percentages have been a little high here. Recent times
- 33:14Speaker 3: have been getting barreled up a little bit more. But
- 33:17Speaker 3: I mean, Waka is just somebody who's just a consistent guy,
- 33:21Speaker 3: gets out. He's just not going to overwhelm you. I mean,
- 33:24Speaker 3: he seems to get the job done. Like, you know,
- 33:26Speaker 3: he just is a guy that's frustrating. If you try
- 33:28Speaker 3: to go against him, he just doesn't get beat up
- 33:30Speaker 3: all that much. But I mean, that bullpen behind him, definitely.
- 33:34Speaker 3: I mean, Waka could go five innings and then the
- 33:36Speaker 3: latter half of that game could just could definitely go
- 33:40Speaker 3: nuke for Houston. Wish they had that ninth inning at bat, but.
- 33:45Speaker 3: You know, picking on that Kansas City bullpen is never
- 33:47Speaker 3: a bad endeavor. I mean, Jordan Alvarez is definitely in
- 33:51Speaker 3: play today. But, yeah, I think the Astros, the Royals,
- 33:56Speaker 3: I just I'm not picking on Hunter Brown. I just
- 33:59Speaker 3: I'm not doing it. He's he's been really good in
- 34:02Speaker 3: recent times. You know, maybe if you wanted to pick
- 34:04Speaker 3: like a one off, maybe Caglioni, maybe if you wanted
- 34:07Speaker 3: to go there.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Maybe for some power, some Vinny.
- 34:10Speaker 3: But other than that, I just, I'm not too thrilled
- 34:14Speaker 3: with that.
- 34:14Speaker 1: I'd rather play Hunter Brown.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Fair enough. I will say like a lot of the
- 34:19Speaker 2: spots we've talked about already outside of the Yankees are
- 34:22Speaker 2: the low own bats on the slate. We're getting into
- 34:25Speaker 2: Coors field right now. You can see the Padres mega chalk.
- 34:29Speaker 2: Rocky's going to get some ownership to Mariners going to
- 34:32Speaker 2: get some ownership. D-backs going to get some ownership. So yeah,
- 34:36Speaker 2: If you're in first place at the end of these
- 34:40Speaker 2: East Coast games or whatever, and you're not having your
- 34:44Speaker 2: team score 12, 13 runs, it's not over yet. Maybe
- 34:48Speaker 2: just go to bed and hope to wake up to
- 34:51Speaker 2: a lot of cheese and you don't just get pissed
- 34:53Speaker 2: and you can't fall asleep at night just seeing your
- 34:56Speaker 2: lineups continue to go down. But hopefully the Rangers or
- 34:59Speaker 2: some of these other teams absolutely nuke early. Otherwise, yeah,
- 35:03Speaker 2: the chalk is going to be coming late at night.
- 35:06Speaker 2: And that does start with the San Diego Padres taking
- 35:09Speaker 2: on Kyle Freeland. The Rockies taking on Walker Bueller. There's
- 35:13Speaker 2: not much bad to say about the Padres besides all
- 35:15Speaker 2: of this ownership. Maybe that's where you play Palante, the Rangers,
- 35:19Speaker 2: another low-owned mini-stack. Maybe Hunter Brown and Palante or the
- 35:27Speaker 2: full 6'1 or 6'2 guys like Tilde and Ryan Johnson.
- 35:32Speaker 2: If you play the Padres, you have to do something
- 35:34Speaker 2: to get differed. not only because they're expensive, but just
- 35:37Speaker 2: the ownership alone, the Rockies against Bueller though. I think, uh,
- 35:41Speaker 2: I think they're pretty interesting, especially the heart of that order.
- 35:44Speaker 2: They're getting a little ownership, but nothing crazy. They are
- 35:47Speaker 2: expensive though. So, uh, a lot of Rockies teams will
- 35:51Speaker 2: have Sean Minaya, I think with them. Yeah.
- 35:55Speaker 3: I mean, there's reasons, I mean, picking on Bueller's is
- 35:59Speaker 3: something we've been doing here. So I think the Rockies
- 36:01Speaker 3: are definitely in play. It's just, uh, You know, the
- 36:05Speaker 3: end of that Padre bullpen is pretty good. So, the
- 36:07Speaker 3: later the game gets, the uglier it could get. Maybe
- 36:09Speaker 3: if we can get to him early, we could definitely
- 36:13Speaker 3: see the Rockies throw up some numbers. But he's been
- 36:17Speaker 3: a little bit more reverse blitzy. You know, I think
- 36:20Speaker 3: Goodman is somebody that I could look at. But me
- 36:24Speaker 3: with the Padres, man, I just, you know, I'm looking
- 36:27Speaker 3: at Freeland. I'm sitting here thinking like, all right, this
- 36:31Speaker 3: guy's old. He's been out for a little while with
- 36:34Speaker 3: a neck injury. So I'm sitting there thinking why, you know,
- 36:37Speaker 3: like me, I'd been hanging it up already playing some
- 36:40Speaker 3: golf title. I mean, I think Freeland's like in his
- 36:42Speaker 3: mid thirties or something. So, you know, for him to
- 36:45Speaker 3: even come back, like, does he even give a shit?
- 36:47Speaker 3: I saw his last rehab start. He went three innings.
- 36:49Speaker 3: So I don't even know how long Freeland's going to go.
- 36:52Speaker 3: Like he could literally be a three inning, four inning
- 36:54Speaker 3: type pitcher here today. He might be in the mid 50,
- 36:57Speaker 3: 60 type pitches. And then they're going to get into
- 36:59Speaker 3: that bullpen. So, uh, Um, yeah, I, I mean, I,
- 37:03Speaker 3: I think the Padres are definitely in play, but just
- 37:06Speaker 3: knowing the ownership they're going to get, uh, I just, uh,
- 37:10Speaker 3: I'd either go all out on Padres or not play
- 37:13Speaker 3: them at all. And to me, I think the stance
- 37:15Speaker 3: I'm making on this slate is, you know, maybe I'll
- 37:18Speaker 3: just leave out this course field game, try to find
- 37:20Speaker 3: some other offenses, be a little chalkier on pitching and
- 37:23Speaker 3: try to build around that and hope this one game,
- 37:26Speaker 3: you know, is a dud from both sides of the plate.
- 37:29Speaker 3: And I could definitely see myself in the green tonight.
- 37:32Speaker 3: So I think that's the stance I'm taking here on
- 37:35Speaker 3: this one. So I'll let everybody else play some Padres
- 37:38Speaker 3: and go against Freeland. I don't think you're going to
- 37:40Speaker 3: get as much Kyle Freeland as people think. So you
- 37:42Speaker 3: might only get one at bat. You might only see
- 37:45Speaker 3: one at bat, maybe two for the top of the lineup.
- 37:48Speaker 3: So I'm not getting overly excited about it, but for me,
- 37:51Speaker 3: I mean, it's, I haven't played the Padres all year.
- 37:54Speaker 3: I think I've said a few times, like, If they're
- 37:57Speaker 3: teams I don't generally play, I don't care where they're at.
- 38:01Speaker 2: I'll leave it alone.
- 38:01Speaker 3: To me, that's a sign I can play the other
- 38:04Speaker 3: teams I generally like to play.
- 38:06Speaker 1: So I'll leave it alone. Padres haven't been a team
- 38:09Speaker 1: I haven't been riding at all.
- 38:12Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough. For me, if I played one team,
- 38:15Speaker 2: it would not be the Padres. If I played three teams,
- 38:18Speaker 2: I probably would have one Padres, which, again, you're probably like, oh,
- 38:22Speaker 2: I mean, that's a little over the field, 33% in
- 38:23Speaker 2: a five-man stack. And if I was an MME in
- 38:28Speaker 2: the largest field stuff, to be honest, I would probably
- 38:31Speaker 2: be slightly overweight because it's 10 games, so ownership will
- 38:34Speaker 2: be spread out enough where you can play the Potters
- 38:37Speaker 2: as mini sacks or five-mans and find enough low, like 2%,
- 38:41Speaker 2: 3% owned bats that I think are fine on the slate.
- 38:45Speaker 2: And again, with pitching, it is going to be concentrated
- 38:47Speaker 2: around Minaya, Gilbert, DeGrom. We had a couple other pivots
- 38:51Speaker 2: that you can go to for pitching. Again, we warmed
- 38:54Speaker 2: up to Palante, Hunter Brown, someone mentioned Shane Boz. If
- 38:59Speaker 2: you are going to do Padres five-mans, I do think
- 39:01Speaker 2: you should be looking at something like that. Max Farid
- 39:04Speaker 2: is another one. So, yeah, I'm good with the Padres
- 39:07Speaker 2: for sure. They stand out in a tier of their
- 39:09Speaker 2: own without question with their run total. But ownership will
- 39:14Speaker 2: reflect it. Rockies, you said you liked it. I like it.
- 39:18Speaker 2: And I think you can go one through nine with
- 39:20Speaker 2: this team. I like how you can go Norby at
- 39:22Speaker 2: second base or third base, Tovar at shortstop. A lot
- 39:25Speaker 2: of onesies positions sprinkled throughout that lineup. Let's get to
- 39:30Speaker 2: the next game. Two games left. The Mariners and the Angels.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert, Ryan Johnson on the mound. Mariners going to
- 39:37Speaker 2: get a little bit of ownership. They're like number four
- 39:39Speaker 2: in terms of run total. Do you have interest in them? Oh, actually,
- 39:44Speaker 2: hold on. Before I even say that, thank you, James.
- 39:46Speaker 2: That's what I was checking when G. Rison was talking.
- 39:48Speaker 2: No judge for the Yankees. Probably brings their ownership down
- 39:51Speaker 2: a little bit. Does make them cheaper, but, yeah, I mean,
- 39:55Speaker 2: I like Aaron Judge in my lineup when I'm stacking
- 39:58Speaker 2: the Yankees.
- 39:59Speaker 1: I don't mind it still. I still don't mind it.
- 40:01Speaker 3: I mean, I was liking the lefties anyway, so I
- 40:04Speaker 3: don't mind sticking the Yankees. Yeah, maybe that does make
- 40:06Speaker 3: them a little cheaper.
- 40:07Speaker 1: So that's still good for me.
- 40:10Speaker 3: But looking here at the Mariners, man, there's– Johnson just
- 40:16Speaker 3: has not been very good here in recent times. He's
- 40:18Speaker 3: been getting barreled up quite a bit. He's been giving
- 40:20Speaker 3: up runs left and right. So I think definitely here
- 40:27Speaker 3: the Mariners are in play for me. I'd rank him
- 40:29Speaker 3: up there with the Padres today. I think we can
- 40:32Speaker 3: definitely go after Mr. Johnson here, who's not been good
- 40:37Speaker 3: at all.
- 40:37Speaker 1: I mean, his.
- 40:38Speaker 3: His K percentages are pretty low, 18% in the season
- 40:41Speaker 3: to the lefties, 16% is walking, 12.5% of the lefties.
- 40:45Speaker 3: Been getting barreled up by both sides. Fly ball percentages
- 40:49Speaker 3: a little higher to the right side at 38 than
- 40:51Speaker 3: 34 to the left side.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Ground ball percentages are low.
- 40:55Speaker 3: I mean, everything points for the Mariners to have a
- 40:59Speaker 3: pretty good outing here against Mr.
- 41:02Speaker 1: Johnson.
- 41:03Speaker 3: And then we do like to pick on that bullpen too.
- 41:05Speaker 3: So that does bump him up for me. But as
- 41:09Speaker 3: far as the Angels go, I can't say I have them,
- 41:14Speaker 3: you know, have as much interest against Gilbert, even though
- 41:17Speaker 3: you're sitting here thinking, oh, man, maybe Gilbert gives up
- 41:19Speaker 3: a little bit of power and we can get to
- 41:22Speaker 3: him here with some of that righty power. I mean,
- 41:25Speaker 3: maybe if you wanted to use a one-off, you know,
- 41:27Speaker 3: maybe Trout or Netto, maybe you could do something like that.
- 41:31Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind that at all, especially if you're playing–
- 41:34Speaker 3: in larger type field contests, I think that would be
- 41:37Speaker 3: a decent way to go. So I don't mind maybe
- 41:40Speaker 3: a couple of Angels for one off, but Mariners for
- 41:42Speaker 3: me look pretty juicy.
- 41:45Speaker 2: All right. I'm indifferent to the Mariners. Like the Yankees
- 41:48Speaker 2: are similar enough ownership where I prefer them. I already
- 41:50Speaker 2: talked about the Padres. They fall down the list a
- 41:53Speaker 2: little for me. And they also fall down the list
- 41:56Speaker 2: because his next two teams in the last game of
- 41:59Speaker 2: the night, the D-backs and the Marlins, I do prefer D-backs, again,
- 42:02Speaker 2: in a very similar spot as the Mariners when you're
- 42:05Speaker 2: looking at run totals and ownership. I prefer the D-backs personally.
- 42:09Speaker 2: And Corbin Carroll, just way too cheap anytime. He's below 5K.
- 42:14Speaker 2: I don't know why they're not moving Lars Neupahr's price.
- 42:17Speaker 2: As you can see in our hitter rankings, number one,
- 42:20Speaker 2: Marte at the top, not at the casino. He's finally
- 42:22Speaker 2: back on the field. Perdomo Moreno, I just think this
- 42:26Speaker 2: D-backs team can roll over their lineup one through nines
- 42:29Speaker 2: in play. Ownership's in check. They're one of my favorite
- 42:32Speaker 2: stacks on the slate. And I also do like these
- 42:34Speaker 2: Marlins a little bit. You want– I mean, Zach Gallin's
- 42:38Speaker 2: just not very good. But the lefties, I prefer– is
- 42:42Speaker 2: it Zach Gallin or is it Soroka? Hold on. It's
- 42:48Speaker 2: Soroka to start, and then Zach Gallin is a potential
- 42:52Speaker 2: long reliever I've seen. Even though Soroka– I mean, he
- 42:56Speaker 2: had 58 pitches last time. To be honest, Soroka, you
- 43:01Speaker 2: want lefties against him. And Zach Gallen, pretty much both
- 43:03Speaker 2: sides of the plate. So I think the Marlins, I
- 43:06Speaker 2: prefer the lefties for sure. But I don't mind if
- 43:09Speaker 2: you throw in the righties as a mini stack or
- 43:11Speaker 2: a part of a five-man to get different. I'm fine
- 43:14Speaker 2: playing both sides of this game. I think it's a
- 43:15Speaker 2: solid game stack. I don't think either pitcher is very good.
- 43:20Speaker 2: And the pricing on both sides is very good to
- 43:22Speaker 2: allow you to spend up for either Padres or mini
- 43:26Speaker 2: stacks or spend up for pitching, which we like to do.
- 43:30Speaker 2: I like this game quite a bit. What about you?
- 43:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I really like the... And do you.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Know if it's Soroka, then Gallon too? I just want
- 43:38Speaker 2: to make sure that's accurate.
- 43:40Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it looks like. That's what I'm seeing, too. So,
- 43:43Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, sure. I like some of the Marlins
- 43:46Speaker 3: against those two. Gallant sucks.
- 43:48Speaker 1: Obviously, we know that.
- 43:49Speaker 3: So, I definitely do think some of the Marlins are
- 43:53Speaker 3: in play, but especially the lefties, like you mentioned. Maybe
- 43:56Speaker 3: Stowers up top of that lineup. Conine, I don't mind. So,
- 44:00Speaker 3: we could lead the Marlins. But I don't have them
- 44:02Speaker 3: high as ranked as I do the D-backs. I got
- 44:05Speaker 3: the D-backs with the Yankees. I would put the Yankees...
- 44:11Speaker 3: the D-backs and the Mariners all in a bucket, probably
- 44:17Speaker 3: a little bit ahead of the Padres. And the reason
- 44:19Speaker 3: I like the D-backs too, you mentioned Kettle Marte. Is
- 44:23Speaker 3: that the casino you always go to that he was
- 44:25Speaker 3: supposedly at? Was that the one we were at?
- 44:27Speaker 2: Yeah, Talking Stick. I saw during the summer too, I
- 44:32Speaker 2: was there with my buddy or a couple of buddies
- 44:34Speaker 2: and he was at the Kettle Marte and the off
- 44:37Speaker 2: season was at the roulette table. with his girl. He
- 44:40Speaker 2: didn't really want it. Like my buddy went up to
- 44:42Speaker 2: him and just said, Hey, and he's just like, it
- 44:43Speaker 2: was like, Hey, but he didn't want to be seen.
- 44:45Speaker 2: So he might be a true DJ. But yeah, that was,
- 44:48Speaker 2: that was the one we were at. He said, that's
- 44:50Speaker 2: all right.
- 44:51Speaker 1: That's all right.
- 44:52Speaker 3: If you're a DJ and just don't be betting on baseball,
- 44:54Speaker 3: Pete Rose. So that'd be a, Hey, I saw Mark
- 44:57Speaker 3: Wahlberg is going to do a documentary about Pete Rose.
- 44:59Speaker 3: He's going to play Pete Rose. That'd be pretty good.
- 45:01Speaker 3: I can't wait for that. Hopefully they do them right.
- 45:03Speaker 3: And don't make them look like a total scumbag, but yeah,
- 45:08Speaker 3: Either way, I do have some interest in the D-backs.
- 45:11Speaker 3: You mentioned Nupar. I mean, he could get pinch hit
- 45:14Speaker 3: for up there at the top of that lineup. But,
- 45:17Speaker 3: I mean, he's been hitting pretty well. Corbin Carroll, I
- 45:21Speaker 3: think the whole lineup up and down, I think you
- 45:24Speaker 3: could get after Mr. Jason Junk, who can't seem to
- 45:27Speaker 3: strike anybody out here in recent times. He is a
- 45:31Speaker 3: mid-ground balling type pitcher. But, I mean, so if you
- 45:34Speaker 3: do look at, you know, some of the statistics as
- 45:37Speaker 3: far as fly balls go, all kinds of fly balls
- 45:40Speaker 3: in this DeepX lineup. Marino has the lowest fly ball
- 45:43Speaker 3: rate at 24%. You got Carroll at 33%. Pavin Smith
- 45:48Speaker 3: at 31%. Everybody else is around the 28% to mid-26.5%.
- 45:52Speaker 3: So definitely some fly balls in this lineup. I think
- 45:55Speaker 3: they can get the junk. And like you said, you
- 45:57Speaker 3: could be sitting pretty, think your hoop, going to bed
- 46:00Speaker 3: at an early night and then wake up and not
- 46:03Speaker 3: even be in the top half of the field.
- 46:04Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 46:05Speaker 3: After these three games here at the end. So we're
- 46:08Speaker 3: going to get into that here too as the season
- 46:10Speaker 3: winds down because it's warmer, obviously, at that side of
- 46:13Speaker 3: the country as it starts to get a little bit
- 46:16Speaker 3: chilly here at night. I know here last night in Michigan,
- 46:18Speaker 3: it was down to like 50-some, 40-some degrees.
- 46:21Speaker 2: Woo!
- 46:23Speaker 1: We're getting there title it's that sweatshirt short type weather
- 46:26Speaker 1: you know you you know it's the weather where you
- 46:28Speaker 1: leave your house at like four o'clock because it's the
- 46:30Speaker 1: hottest time of the day and then you go down
- 46:32Speaker 1: the stadium you're like holy shit man.
- 46:34Speaker 4: I gotta go buy me a cold yeah it gets
- 46:37Speaker 4: cold so i know wrigley field you all know that
- 46:40Speaker 4: rule because shit that happens all the time at wrigley
- 46:42Speaker 4: but especially we're sitting in the shade but yeah.
- 46:45Speaker 3: I mean we're getting that time of year these later
- 46:47Speaker 3: games are going to start meaning a little bit more But, yeah,
- 46:51Speaker 3: I think overall on the slate, though, title, I mean,
- 46:54Speaker 3: I'm just going to stay chalky at pitching, be a
- 46:56Speaker 3: little different by not playing the Padres, load up on
- 46:59Speaker 3: some Yankees, some D-backs I like, and then I also
- 47:02Speaker 3: like the Mariners. And then, like you said, maybe throw
- 47:05Speaker 3: a little Texas in there. Maybe we could throw, you know,
- 47:09Speaker 3: a little bit of Houston in there against, you know,
- 47:11Speaker 3: that bullpen. But, yeah, I think we got a pretty
- 47:16Speaker 3: interesting slate as we wind down.
- 47:19Speaker 1: For sure.
- 47:19Speaker 2: Good 10 gamer. Again, we have to monitor cubby weather
- 47:23Speaker 2: at Wrigley. I just looked because you talked about the
- 47:26Speaker 2: weather starting to cool off. I looked at what it
- 47:28Speaker 2: is by me. It's always in the mid 90s or
- 47:31Speaker 2: 100 or whatever. It's the best ever. But I looked
- 47:33Speaker 2: at where I my parents are at right now and
- 47:36Speaker 2: where I grew up. And look at this. You rise
- 47:38Speaker 2: in rain every single day. Oh, my gosh. I could
- 47:44Speaker 2: not be any more happy getting out of there. I mean,
- 47:47Speaker 2: anytime I go back, it's just. You'd never see the sun.
- 47:50Speaker 2: It's always raining. It is so depressing. So, hey, props
- 47:53Speaker 2: to you for being able to do it. I know
- 47:55Speaker 2: you got family and all that there. But, yeah, there's
- 47:58Speaker 2: no doubt. When we start talking about playoff baseball and
- 48:01Speaker 2: then later in September to close out the regular season,
- 48:03Speaker 2: paying attention to weather like I do in April when
- 48:06Speaker 2: baseball first starts is definitely a part of my process
- 48:09Speaker 2: even more. That's going to do it for us, though. Again,
- 48:12Speaker 2: if you do want to get over to ShipItNation.com, we
- 48:15Speaker 2: do have a lot of deals. If you click Join
- 48:17Speaker 2: the Nation, I think if you've never tried us out,
- 48:21Speaker 2: five days for $ 19, it's a great time to use
- 48:24Speaker 2: that because you get SaberSim, you get the Discord, and
- 48:27Speaker 2: you can see above. NFL, college football, PGA, MLB, MMA,
- 48:32Speaker 2: and NASCAR. That's six sports all going on right now,
- 48:35Speaker 2: and you do get all six with that. Also, all
- 48:38Speaker 2: access as you go up, as you get more, late swap,
- 48:43Speaker 2: the additional projections and ownership, being able to build more
- 48:46Speaker 2: lineups with SaberSim as you increase. into contest sims, 5,000 lineups,
- 48:51Speaker 2: all that good stuff. The price does go up. I
- 48:53Speaker 2: think the starter is probably the best for most people.
- 48:56Speaker 2: Also get DFS Mastermind on the side for free. But, yeah,
- 49:00Speaker 2: if you want to just try us out, $ 19 five days.
- 49:03Speaker 2: You cannot go wrong with that one bit. So you're always,
- 49:07Speaker 2: always fun to talk some baseball with you, to talk
- 49:10Speaker 2: any sport with you. Good luck to your Tigers the
- 49:12Speaker 2: rest of the way. Good luck to your Lions. Good
- 49:15Speaker 2: luck to Survivor. We'll talk again in September. Again, we'll
- 49:19Speaker 2: have baseball shows. all the way until the end of
- 49:21Speaker 2: this month. But that'll do it for us. We will
- 49:24Speaker 2: be back tomorrow for G-Ryzen. I'm Titletown. Good luck. Be safe. Peace.
