- 1:17Speaker 2: latest and greatest information over there.
- 1:19Speaker 1: The Matt. We spoke last Friday of normand on er
- 1:21Speaker 1: on Monday, how was your weekend? What's going on? My man?
- 1:26Speaker 3: Weekend was good?
- 1:27Speaker 4: Was the wife's wife and father's birthday yesterday, So double
- 1:31Speaker 4: duty was a busy weekend. But we're happy it's Monday.
- 1:35Speaker 4: We got a seven game MLB slate. I always like
- 1:38Speaker 4: Monday slates. We're a week closer to NFL starting. Weather's good.
- 1:45Speaker 4: Things are good here. It should be a fun slate
- 1:47Speaker 4: to break down. So excited to talk it out with you.
- 1:50Speaker 4: Always love doing shows with you. So yeah, happy you're on.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Here to night. Yeah, no, thanks, thanks, thanks for having me. Yeah,
- 1:56Speaker 1: it's an interesting slate.
- 1:58Speaker 2: And one thing before we get going is I saw
- 2:00Speaker 2: an X yesterday. No Sundays without football for the rest
- 2:04Speaker 2: of the year, and so man, that's a great feeling.
- 2:07Speaker 2: We got games every Sunday from here on out. My
- 2:09Speaker 2: boy Tony Romo gonna be in the booth, hopefully get
- 2:12Speaker 2: well Tony seven games. As we alluded to, the first
- 2:16Speaker 2: thing that jumps out to me Matt Chase Burns eleven three.
- 2:21Speaker 2: The next highest pitcher Peyton Toll eight eight. So obviously
- 2:25Speaker 2: twenty five hundred dollars. If I'm doing my math, that
- 2:28Speaker 2: may even be. Yeah, twenty five hundred dollars separating those two.
- 2:31Speaker 2: That really jumps out to me. Then you got Max
- 2:33Speaker 2: Freed's kind of been up and down missed.
- 2:36Speaker 1: I think this. I believe this is a second start
- 2:38Speaker 1: after missing two months.
- 2:40Speaker 2: So we're gonna break it, break it down game by game,
- 2:42Speaker 2: but those are kind of some of the first things
- 2:44Speaker 2: that stick out to me. You have a kind of
- 2:46Speaker 2: a broad slate overview that you want to give out
- 2:48Speaker 2: before we get going.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's what you talked about, Burns and
- 2:52Speaker 4: then a major, major drop off. I mean, the next
- 2:58Speaker 4: projected highest pitcher across the board most places at least
- 3:02Speaker 4: isn't even Peyton totally.
- 3:03Speaker 3: So yeah, it's I like.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Totally a lot but really tough spot for him going
- 3:09Speaker 4: into Sacramento. It's Burns and then everyone else that type
- 3:14Speaker 4: of slate with some good offenses to choose from. It
- 3:16Speaker 4: seems like an offense driven slate, with Burns being by
- 3:21Speaker 4: far the best picture. And you know, I'm not gonna
- 3:25Speaker 4: say by far the best spot because there's like the
- 3:27Speaker 4: Angels and other good spots, but a really really damn
- 3:30Speaker 4: good spot nonetheless, So lots of like about Burns and
- 3:34Speaker 4: lots of like about some other offenses. It made me
- 3:39Speaker 4: laugh with the Romo comment because I was trying to
- 3:43Speaker 4: find it, but I just saw a tweet before. It
- 3:45Speaker 4: was like a meme of nance, like and I'm gonna
- 3:50Speaker 4: hand the keys over to Romo, and Romo's like I
- 3:53Speaker 4: can't accept those right, now or something something to that effect.
- 3:56Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to find it send them to you.
- 3:58Speaker 1: That's pretty funny.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Yeah, do that all right, Let's keep going seven games
- 4:01Speaker 2: before we do that. P Jo, Dna Stoner, my boy
- 4:05Speaker 2: Wheelers in the house, Philly Fann and Para Bay, Michael Jake, Hey,
- 4:10Speaker 2: small crowd, Day sixty nine in here to be exact
- 4:13Speaker 2: on this fine Monday morning. Like you said, the weather's
- 4:17Speaker 2: grade around the country. We got the Battle of Ohio,
- 4:20Speaker 2: the Guardians. We talked a little pre show, struggling out
- 4:23Speaker 2: the dish, Jose Ramirez up to the second spot, taking
- 4:27Speaker 2: on Chase Burns former Tennessee legend before he went to
- 4:31Speaker 2: Wake Forest and the Reds, the Great American small Park
- 4:34Speaker 2: back in the Reds Ballpark. We didn't have it last Friday,
- 4:36Speaker 2: but talk to me a little bit about this one.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Chase Burn's gonna come with tons of ownership.
- 4:40Speaker 1: And rightfully so.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Slade Cocone getting the ball for the Guardians, Guardians at
- 4:46Speaker 2: the Reds talking through me met.
- 4:49Speaker 4: It's all Reds for me here, unfortunately. Yeah, talked a
- 4:53Speaker 4: little bit prior to the show. The Guardians offense is
- 4:56Speaker 4: just pitiful right now, dreadful.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Whatever word you want to use. They got a lead
- 5:01Speaker 3: off double yesterday and then proceeded to go zero for.
- 5:04Speaker 4: Twenty seven with eleven k's and I don't think they
- 5:06Speaker 4: walked one time. They obviously got shut out. They got
- 5:10Speaker 4: shut out the day before. Offenses isn't good all of
- 5:15Speaker 4: a sudden. The only got hitting is Stephen Kwan, which
- 5:17Speaker 4: came out of nowhere because he was he was the
- 5:19Speaker 4: guy that was awful for most of the season. So
- 5:22Speaker 4: Burns is definitely a fade at your own risk type
- 5:24Speaker 4: of play here. And if I'm playing one lineup, I'm
- 5:28Speaker 4: playing Burns and moving on. I also think the Red
- 5:32Speaker 4: stack is in play. Secone never really been a fan
- 5:37Speaker 4: of his stuff when they got when the Guardians got
- 5:40Speaker 4: Patrick Bailey, who's a really good defensive catcher. Seconi had
- 5:44Speaker 4: a couple of good starts, but he's come back down
- 5:46Speaker 4: to earth.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Man.
- 5:48Speaker 4: It's just really tough to get to this Red's lineup.
- 5:50Speaker 4: It's a full stack on this slate, just no Spencer
- 5:53Speaker 4: Steeer who got hurt. The lineup just isn't really appealing
- 5:57Speaker 4: right now. That said, I don't mind picking on Secconi,
- 5:59Speaker 4: so it's all about the Reds for me. In this game,
- 6:01Speaker 4: I obviously like birds a ton and then the Red
- 6:04Speaker 4: Stack in play.
- 6:07Speaker 2: The Reds did a good job of kind of mixing
- 6:09Speaker 2: and matching, you know, lefty righty, lefty righty. Do you
- 6:11Speaker 2: care like howur Coconi's splits.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Can you go righty here? Or is it all lefties
- 6:17Speaker 1: for you?
- 6:18Speaker 2: No?
- 6:19Speaker 4: I mean Seconi is just not good in general, so
- 6:21Speaker 4: I don't mind using anyone, and anyone against him is
- 6:25Speaker 4: certainly if you're gonna use like one off, so you
- 6:28Speaker 4: probably want lefties against him, but you know, in general,
- 6:31Speaker 4: I'm not like specifically just only using them. He's a
- 6:34Speaker 4: guy that you can fully stack against pretty much always,
- 6:37Speaker 4: even with a not good lineup like tonight.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, good stuff there. Let's go to the
- 6:45Speaker 1: next game. It's the Battle of the NL East.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Got the Braves couldn't do much damage in Baltimore all weekend. Well,
- 6:51Speaker 2: they did score I think eight on Friday night in extras,
- 6:54Speaker 2: but you got the return of Ronald Acunya Junior should
- 6:58Speaker 2: make that line up a lot better. It's a lefty
- 7:00Speaker 2: and Zach Thornton got the Mets, and I know one
- 7:03Speaker 2: thing's for certain, one Soda will not be in the
- 7:06Speaker 2: lineup ten day, I el stint with a strained calv
- 7:10Speaker 2: on Friday night.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Martin Perez, who's actually.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Had a i'll say a decent season battle of the
- 7:17Speaker 2: lefties tonight in Shay Stadium the artists formally known as
- 7:21Speaker 2: Shay Stadium talking through this with Matt Braves at the Mets.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Yeah, this game is all about the offenses for me here.
- 7:28Speaker 4: Zach Thornton has been pretty good in his time with
- 7:32Speaker 4: the Mets, but I think it's big time regression coming.
- 7:35Speaker 3: He's been doing it with smoking mirrors.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Doesn't mean he can't be good tonight, but you're looking
- 7:39Speaker 4: at the guy with an under twenty percent strek out rate.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Is one point ninety.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Three era looks really good on paper, but the four
- 7:48Speaker 4: to twenty one expected not so much. You get a
- 7:52Speaker 4: Braves lineup, getting Akunya back. I'm in on Atlanta here.
- 7:56Speaker 4: I think they're one of the top stacks of the slate.
- 8:00Speaker 4: I never loved picking on Martin Perez. I think just
- 8:03Speaker 4: in terms of how much the field likes doing it generally.
- 8:07Speaker 4: So I don't think I love the Mets tonight, but
- 8:10Speaker 4: I don't hate them either. Like I'd stacked the Mets before,
- 8:12Speaker 4: I used Martin Perez. There's just a lot of good
- 8:14Speaker 4: offenses tonight. So I have the Bridge as one of
- 8:17Speaker 4: the best on the slate, and the Mets is probably
- 8:19Speaker 4: just a mid tier stack.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Yeah, good stuff there.
- 8:24Speaker 2: I think that the Braves Lina Bobby obviously gets infinitively
- 8:27Speaker 2: better with a Kunya beck in there at the top
- 8:30Speaker 2: of lineup. Excellent breakdown there, man. This next game, this
- 8:34Speaker 2: next game, I can't wait to talk about it. Got
- 8:36Speaker 2: the Yankees taken on the White Sox. Miracami double dong yesterday.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Vargas hit a dog yesterday. They got some power over there,
- 8:46Speaker 2: Max Free. Like I said earlier, second game back after
- 8:49Speaker 2: a two month stint off, Yankees had a good series
- 8:54Speaker 2: this weekend as well. I believe they played Philly. If
- 8:57Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, Aaron Judge still on the DL. Cody
- 9:01Speaker 2: Bellinger it went to the DL over the weekend, so
- 9:05Speaker 2: he'll obviously be or il. He'll obviously be out for
- 9:08Speaker 2: this series. But yeah, the Yankees played the Phillies all weekend.
- 9:11Speaker 2: That was a back and forth series. But this White
- 9:13Speaker 2: Sox team, they're fun to watch. Matt especially on offense.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Talk to me a little bit about this game. You
- 9:18Speaker 2: got another double lefty matchup, Max Freed, take it on,
- 9:21Speaker 2: Noah Schultz Yankees at the White Sox.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:27Speaker 4: So the White Sox lineup I really like against right
- 9:29Speaker 4: handed pitching, not as much against left handed pitching. And
- 9:32Speaker 4: Freed is just never a guy I'm gonna stack against
- 9:35Speaker 4: on a slate like this, just so many other pitchers
- 9:39Speaker 4: I want to pick on so many other good offenses.
- 9:42Speaker 4: I'm out on the White Sox. I think you could
- 9:46Speaker 4: look at Freed. He was really good in his first
- 9:48Speaker 4: start back, but he's still going to be limited and
- 9:52Speaker 4: he's not cheap. So on this slate, I don't hate Freed.
- 9:57Speaker 4: I would use Freed before the White Sox offense, just
- 10:00Speaker 4: considering the pitching options we have. And then I like
- 10:03Speaker 4: the Yankees tonight. I was high and Noah Schultz and
- 10:06Speaker 4: I still am. I like his stuff, but he puts
- 10:09Speaker 4: too many guys on base, and he hasn't been particularly good,
- 10:13Speaker 4: and I feel like this Yankees offense can pounce.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Now.
- 10:17Speaker 4: A lot of the name brand guys are out and
- 10:20Speaker 4: you get lefty lefty with Ben Rice, etc. But he's
- 10:24Speaker 4: good enough to overcome any lefty lefty matchup. Should have
- 10:29Speaker 4: runners on base all night for the Yankees. I like
- 10:32Speaker 4: them as a pivot off of what should be a
- 10:34Speaker 4: chalky Red Sox stack, and I like the Red Sox
- 10:37Speaker 4: more on paper, but I think the Yankees will be
- 10:39Speaker 4: lower owned and I think they have similar upside.
- 10:42Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm in on the Yankees tonight.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Okay, interesting.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just looking at this right the stone that
- 10:50Speaker 2: we have over here at the nation. I mean, the
- 10:51Speaker 2: k percentage for the Yankees versus left he's on the road,
- 10:54Speaker 2: it's pretty bad. All the the major players, uh excuse
- 11:01Speaker 2: me there, twenty.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Five plus percent strike out against lefties.
- 11:04Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I'm out on the Yankees, not
- 11:06Speaker 2: necessarily in on Noah Schultz, but I think we agree
- 11:09Speaker 2: on Max.
- 11:10Speaker 1: I remember you said that.
- 11:12Speaker 2: That the White Sox are much better versus Righty's, So
- 11:15Speaker 2: I'm gonna take that into consideration. That's a good nugget
- 11:17Speaker 2: right there. Next game up on the Slight, another rivalry game.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Got the Cubs, got the Cards, got the newly minted
- 11:24Speaker 2: Chicago Cub David Peterson on the bump. Another double left Wow,
- 11:27Speaker 2: triple double Lefty the Liberachi band Matthew libertre Cubs banging
- 11:34Speaker 2: the ball around this weekend beat up Paul Skeens on
- 11:37Speaker 2: Saturday Night. Now we get the Cardinals. Jordan Walker in
- 11:40Speaker 2: that second haul. I love that.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Talk to me about this one. Cubs at the Cards.
- 11:44Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is a game for offense for sure. Peterson,
- 11:48Speaker 4: I think you can use in spots. I was on
- 11:50Speaker 4: him last game. He was really really cheap, and I
- 11:52Speaker 4: didn't hate the matchup tonight. I would use Saint Louis
- 11:56Speaker 4: against him. You know, Saint Louis Is not been good
- 12:01Speaker 4: in the second half of the season, but I don't
- 12:04Speaker 4: mind this matchup for them.
- 12:05Speaker 3: More like them as like one offs.
- 12:07Speaker 4: Many stacks Perreira Walker, as you mentioned, I don't know
- 12:10Speaker 4: how crazy I want to get with Saint Louis. I
- 12:13Speaker 4: do like Chicago here librator is a picture of picked
- 12:17Speaker 4: on all year. Cubs line up sets up pretty well
- 12:21Speaker 4: against lefties and righties. They got power, speed. I like
- 12:25Speaker 4: the Cubs here. I don't think they're as good of
- 12:29Speaker 4: a stack as like the Braves but or the Red Sox,
- 12:35Speaker 4: but they won't be his owned either, So yeah, I
- 12:39Speaker 4: like the Cubs tonight.
- 12:40Speaker 3: How do you see it?
- 12:42Speaker 2: Uh?
- 12:42Speaker 1: One quick question Cubs versus the Yankees.
- 12:46Speaker 4: You know what after your talk about them versus Lefty
- 12:50Speaker 4: is they're missing so many guys seeing Sabers team total,
- 12:54Speaker 4: which maybe the Cubs are going to be higher on
- 12:56Speaker 4: than I'm expecting.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Give me the Cubs, gay Cubs.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean obviously the Cubs have some weapons there.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Pca man, he's just been been very good all year.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Went bomb on Saturday, not against skiings Skins was in
- 13:12Speaker 2: the Star, but hit a bomb. Then I like this
- 13:14Speaker 2: Cubs team. I don't know anybody that hates this Cardinals'
- 13:17Speaker 2: pitching staff more than you. I'm gonna pick on Matthew
- 13:20Speaker 2: Libertur with you, and then I'm not a fan of
- 13:22Speaker 2: David Peterson either. Give me give me these Cardinals. I
- 13:25Speaker 2: think this is a not sneaky because I think I've
- 13:28Speaker 2: good some ownership and you're only seven games. But I
- 13:30Speaker 2: think this game is not It was not going to
- 13:32Speaker 2: rival the Red Sox, and rightfully so because they're in
- 13:34Speaker 2: sack down.
- 13:35Speaker 1: But I like both of these offenses here. Neither one
- 13:37Speaker 1: of the pitchers.
- 13:38Speaker 3: Cool.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Yeah, Next game up, Angels at the Astros at the
- 13:43Speaker 2: Angels back in Anaheim, Walbert Urania eighty three hundred dollars
- 13:48Speaker 2: Tatsui in my if I said that correctly, Hope, I
- 13:51Speaker 2: did sixty eight hundred dollars. She's cheap Matt, and he's
- 13:55Speaker 2: facing this Angels teams that strikes out in droves. Astros
- 13:58Speaker 2: hit the ball decent yesterday. Jeremy Pennon went double dong
- 14:01Speaker 2: in the first I think three or four innings. Then
- 14:03Speaker 2: I don't think they mustered anything else after that. This
- 14:06Speaker 2: team's looking to trade to the deadline. Who you got
- 14:09Speaker 2: Astro's Angels talking to me?
- 14:13Speaker 3: Yes, this is where I think you get your SP
- 14:15Speaker 3: two from.
- 14:16Speaker 4: I think Burns and Imai are the chalk pairing, and
- 14:18Speaker 4: it makes a lot of sense you get a righty
- 14:22Speaker 4: against the Angels. Am I coming off a really good start.
- 14:27Speaker 4: He's been inconsistent this year, and I'm not like fully
- 14:32Speaker 4: buying what he's selling. As far as a guy, I
- 14:35Speaker 4: want to ride his chalk. But man, you look at
- 14:38Speaker 4: the price tag, the matchup, the other options on this slate,
- 14:43Speaker 4: it makes sense why Imai is gonna be popular. I
- 14:47Speaker 4: think he ends up too over owned and it brings
- 14:50Speaker 4: the Angel stack in play man.
- 14:53Speaker 1: You're right, I mean there was ever a righty?
- 14:57Speaker 3: Yeah, if there was ever a righty to use the
- 14:59Speaker 3: Angels against a guy like am I. I'm torn here.
- 15:05Speaker 4: This is what I'm really torn on because on paper,
- 15:07Speaker 4: I think you just play.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Am I in Burns and move on.
- 15:11Speaker 4: I'm trying to win tournaments, so like maybe just fading
- 15:14Speaker 4: in mine, maybe playing some angels all in play for
- 15:17Speaker 4: me and then Aranya Aranya's listen. I don't ever mind
- 15:26Speaker 4: picking on him. I don't think he's like particularly great,
- 15:29Speaker 4: but I don't think he's bad. He doesn't strike out
- 15:32Speaker 4: enough guys first eighty three hundred dollars price tags, so
- 15:35Speaker 4: he's not in play for me.
- 15:36Speaker 3: You could stack Houston, They're just not my favorite stack
- 15:39Speaker 3: on the board.
- 15:39Speaker 4: They're real intrigued for me comes from am I and
- 15:41Speaker 4: the Angels.
- 15:43Speaker 2: What about single picture sites like on an uh seventy
- 15:47Speaker 2: what is that seventy six hundred on fandle, Like, would
- 15:49Speaker 2: you play am I over there versus like Chase Burns or.
- 15:55Speaker 1: You're not even considering a minor single single picture site.
- 15:58Speaker 4: I think you have to consider him just because a
- 16:00Speaker 4: matchup and how cheap he is even over there, you
- 16:05Speaker 4: know again, like I kind.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Of like he's scary.
- 16:09Speaker 2: I mean, he's to me, he's he would be an
- 16:11Speaker 2: easy fade in terms of, like you said, if you
- 16:14Speaker 2: wanted to not even not even play the Angels, but
- 16:17Speaker 2: if you wanted to mini the Angels, not play the Angels.
- 16:20Speaker 2: I think there's some avenues there. I mean, you get
- 16:22Speaker 2: Mike Trout right, like Zach Neido if he's in the lineup.
- 16:26Speaker 3: So Scout's coming off a really good weekend too.
- 16:28Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I'm with metro Boom here, Like I
- 16:32Speaker 2: don't have a good feeling about him, my, I mean,
- 16:35Speaker 2: you're already well, he had twenty seven last Doubting, He's
- 16:37Speaker 2: put up thirty time or two's like.
- 16:39Speaker 1: High teens a bunch of times.
- 16:41Speaker 2: He also has several negatives in there, Matt, So I
- 16:43Speaker 2: think that's something we got to consider. At sixty in
- 16:46Speaker 2: our bucks, we're showing thirty eighth right now.
- 16:49Speaker 4: It's just tough because like if he has if he's
- 16:52Speaker 4: got his good stuff, not even his like great stuff
- 16:55Speaker 4: to land, but just his good stuff, Like he's probably
- 16:57Speaker 4: gonna have a score you're gonna need at that price tag.
- 17:00Speaker 4: He's so cheap, makes it hard, you know what I mean.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're projecting him for almost seventeen seventeen, enough
- 17:06Speaker 2: for you, but it's not probably.
- 17:08Speaker 4: Not definitely, because he's the second highest projected picture of
- 17:11Speaker 4: the slate now, like because the other part of the
- 17:14Speaker 4: seventeen projection is like, I don't know, I just don't
- 17:19Speaker 4: even know if that's if it's going to be even close.
- 17:21Speaker 3: To that tonight.
- 17:22Speaker 4: I think it's going to be way lower or significantly higher,
- 17:25Speaker 4: you know, mm.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Hmm yeah, interesting for sure. I want to see that
- 17:30Speaker 1: Angels lineup.
- 17:31Speaker 2: I don't I don't see why Mike Tratt would be out,
- 17:33Speaker 2: but he would be the one that I have the
- 17:35Speaker 2: most interesting.
- 17:36Speaker 1: And then go from there.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Fifty two hundred pretty expensive over on DK thirty seven,
- 17:40Speaker 2: over one hundred over on FanDuel. Next game up on
- 17:42Speaker 2: the slate, it talks about Peyton Tole a minute ago,
- 17:45Speaker 2: right behind Emi in projections, but he does get a
- 17:49Speaker 2: huge ballpark downgrade.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Taking on Jack Perkins and this athletics team.
- 17:55Speaker 2: I'd say they disappointed over the weekend in Minnesota, but
- 17:58Speaker 2: you got the Red Sox. We love, we love uh
- 18:02Speaker 2: batters in this park, and these Red Sox are gonna
- 18:06Speaker 2: come highly owned. You talked about it earlier, but you
- 18:08Speaker 2: said you liked them on paper. I like the Red
- 18:11Speaker 2: Sox better on paper, probably like them better on paper
- 18:13Speaker 2: than anybody, But in tournaments, how are you gonna manage
- 18:16Speaker 2: the Red Sox at the Athletics.
- 18:20Speaker 4: Well, first off, I think you can definitely play Payton
- 18:22Speaker 4: totally here. He's you know, been really good this year.
- 18:26Speaker 4: This A's lineup, Man Kurts is back. As soon as
- 18:29Speaker 4: you get kurtzback, you lose Langaliers. So now against lefties,
- 18:34Speaker 4: this lineup is.
- 18:36Speaker 3: It's bad man so.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Yesterday.
- 18:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like, he's in play, you know always. I
- 18:45Speaker 4: don't really want to stack against totally. I probably won't play.
- 18:49Speaker 4: If I were playing one lineup, I probably wouldn't play totally.
- 18:51Speaker 4: But he's got to be on play, in play on
- 18:53Speaker 4: this slate, especially if you're thinking about fading like Burns
- 18:55Speaker 4: and Emi or one of them, because who else are
- 18:57Speaker 4: you gonna play, you know, like you're gonna take a
- 18:59Speaker 4: real risk with someone. I think he looks Kim and
- 19:03Speaker 4: Freed are the two guys you're probably looking at if
- 19:06Speaker 4: you're not playing one of Emian Birds. So I guess
- 19:11Speaker 4: for me, playing totally is more of a play against
- 19:14Speaker 4: like am I or Birds. For instance, if I'm playing
- 19:17Speaker 4: the Angels, they're super cheap.
- 19:19Speaker 3: I'm not playing am.
- 19:20Speaker 4: I I probably might play totally with birds, so that
- 19:24Speaker 4: makes sense for me and the Red Sox. I mean,
- 19:28Speaker 4: it's a taiale old this time, right, They're gonna be
- 19:30Speaker 4: super popular and they're the best stacking on the slate
- 19:33Speaker 4: on paper by a decent amount. Cors Light here, their
- 19:38Speaker 4: lineup has been a lot better over the past whatever
- 19:41Speaker 4: it's been, you know, not even just the winning streak.
- 19:43Speaker 4: They've played better.
- 19:44Speaker 3: Ball for the past month.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Curtis Mead as well.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Yeah, Mead, I don't know.
- 19:52Speaker 4: I don't think Perkins is as bad as the field does,
- 19:54Speaker 4: but I don't think he's good.
- 19:55Speaker 3: And the A's bullpen stinks. It's hard not to like
- 19:57Speaker 3: Boston here, man.
- 19:58Speaker 4: They kind of look like Arizona for yesterday, where they're
- 20:01Speaker 4: by far the best stack on paper. But another team
- 20:04Speaker 4: will probably be better than them, you.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Know what I mean?
- 20:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but you just look at it. It's like,
- 20:10Speaker 2: who are you gonna stack like? You don't not necessarily
- 20:13Speaker 2: say go one through five, But I mean there's no
- 20:16Speaker 2: other stacks that any of us, either of us are
- 20:19Speaker 2: just like, yeah, it was jam them in. I mean,
- 20:20Speaker 2: we said the Braves, maybe the Yankees, Cubs and Cardinals
- 20:24Speaker 2: we like it, but nobody sticks out like the Red
- 20:27Speaker 2: Sox in my opinion, in yours, I believe, and they
- 20:30Speaker 2: get a huge ballpark up grade, they're gonna be tough
- 20:32Speaker 2: to get off of, and the field's gonna field's gonna
- 20:34Speaker 2: agree with that as well.
- 20:35Speaker 1: We're not you know, obviously you're not slotting that one
- 20:36Speaker 1: by anybody.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Everybody in there is double digit downership projected, and we're
- 20:40Speaker 2: typically light on the first run of this. On this,
- 20:44Speaker 2: I think, yeah, very affordable, especially you know, I know
- 20:48Speaker 2: this is the projected lineup, but if this is the lineup,
- 20:51Speaker 2: very very affordable with nobody over fifty five hundred and
- 20:54Speaker 2: only two.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Guys in the five K range. So buckle up. If
- 20:58Speaker 1: you play the Red Sox, they're gonna be h it's
- 21:00Speaker 1: gonna be popular. Anything else.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Man, No, I think you're right.
- 21:05Speaker 4: I think that like they are the team that stands
- 21:07Speaker 4: out like by a pretty clear margin.
- 21:11Speaker 1: Let's move on to the last game. Hey, and I
- 21:13Speaker 1: gotta give your props. Friday night.
- 21:15Speaker 2: You said Giants, I said, no chance. I think they
- 21:17Speaker 2: scored eight runs. Did you see the end of that
- 21:19Speaker 2: Giants game the other night.
- 21:21Speaker 3: I did, where they hit the diverse hit the double.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Well, it was the well ground rule double, but the
- 21:25Speaker 1: only game they hadn't run it on second to third,
- 21:27Speaker 1: Like if you bet on that game minus one and
- 21:29Speaker 1: a half like you were, because yeah, but yeah, Dever
- 21:36Speaker 1: hit a bomb.
- 21:37Speaker 2: I think Casey Schmidt, my boy, hit a bomb on Friday,
- 21:39Speaker 2: and then Devers hit that walk off ground.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Never again.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Man, I'll take my l on that when you call
- 21:47Speaker 2: it Grayson's Grayson's trash.
- 21:49Speaker 1: Hopefully he's pitch your Friday and we can take on
- 21:51Speaker 1: him again.
- 21:52Speaker 2: But now this ballpark, I hate stacking in you got
- 21:55Speaker 2: the Sproke, Brandon Sprote taking on Tyler Molly, Mallie, whatever
- 22:01Speaker 2: you want to call him. I hate both of these pictures,
- 22:03Speaker 2: but I also hate this park. Course of these pictures.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Brewers obviously scalding hot. Talk to me through this one.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Brewers at the Giants.
- 22:12Speaker 4: Man, oh, you know, I like the Giants more than
- 22:17Speaker 4: most usually, but it's hard to I want to like
- 22:21Speaker 4: full stat them here, I guess like.
- 22:25Speaker 3: Just talking this out. The only reason I don't hate
- 22:28Speaker 3: them is because we don't love.
- 22:29Speaker 4: Stacks on this late And if you're fading Boston, you
- 22:32Speaker 4: know there's only seven games, so sprote is inconsistent enough
- 22:39Speaker 4: where he can be the picture you want to pick on.
- 22:43Speaker 3: That's why I would, you know, consider.
- 22:45Speaker 4: The Giants and then the Brewers even more so because
- 22:48Speaker 4: Malley's in that same vein and the Brewers are way
- 22:51Speaker 4: better than the Giants. So I don't like either team.
- 22:54Speaker 4: If I'm playing one lineup, there's no way I'd get
- 22:56Speaker 4: to either side. But like in multi entry stuff, I
- 22:58Speaker 4: certainly wouldn't be taking them out of my field, you
- 23:00Speaker 4: know what I mean? Like, and I think you can
- 23:04Speaker 4: use one offs in any type of format here because
- 23:08Speaker 4: there just aren't any amazing spots.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Yeah, no amazing spots. I wonderful if wonder if we
- 23:16Speaker 1: could build a team with like Chase.
- 23:19Speaker 2: To me, Chase Burns is almost like as good as
- 23:21Speaker 2: it gets, like Chase Burns.
- 23:24Speaker 4: It's funny though, because I just can't get this out
- 23:27Speaker 4: of my head. I mean, this is means nothing for
- 23:29Speaker 4: this slate. But last Monday night I might have mentioned
- 23:32Speaker 4: this to you on the show. It was a fourteen
- 23:34Speaker 4: games slate. Okay, it was a big drafting slate. The
- 23:38Speaker 4: only game not on the slate was twelve gard Cleveland.
- 23:42Speaker 4: They're facing Joe Ryan in a spot just like this
- 23:45Speaker 4: and they hit seven home runs out of absolute nowhere,
- 23:49Speaker 4: and I Burns is gonna mode tonight. I'm gonna play him,
- 23:53Speaker 4: but like, man, can't get that out of my head.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Maybe play one team with uh.
- 24:00Speaker 3: That's funny. I'm saber.
- 24:02Speaker 4: I was just like when I first uploaded my stuff,
- 24:05Speaker 4: and I'm playing a couple of lines and some high
- 24:07Speaker 4: dollar stuff and.
- 24:08Speaker 3: Give me a Guardian stack is the first lineup?
- 24:11Speaker 1: No way?
- 24:13Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 24:15Speaker 2: Man, if you play the Guardians and they and they
- 24:20Speaker 2: score what eight plus runs?
- 24:22Speaker 1: Four bombs, like you're printing tonight, printing. I mean, that's
- 24:26Speaker 1: a that's a big if, though, I mean, obviously that's.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Like, that's a huge if. I mean that is like.
- 24:32Speaker 4: You know, once in every you know, not not common occurrence.
- 24:37Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I think you know, uh, you know,
- 24:39Speaker 2: low low dollar amount multi entry twenty plus. I think
- 24:43Speaker 2: you could maybe get to two Guardians teams. But Chase
- 24:47Speaker 2: Burns looks tough, man, especially with those with the Pitcher
- 24:50Speaker 2: picture options.
- 24:51Speaker 1: That we have.
- 24:52Speaker 3: I know a lot of Burns. I'm a Burns fan.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Oh and yeah, he's nasty, Like I mean, I mean
- 25:00Speaker 2: Martin Perez versus am I I mean I under like
- 25:03Speaker 2: in tournaments, I would I would love to play Martin Perez.
- 25:06Speaker 2: I mean it's you're probably losing what four or five
- 25:09Speaker 2: points in projection, but man like, it's just.
- 25:13Speaker 3: About play against Demy. Like, it's not even about Martin Perez.
- 25:16Speaker 3: It's playing anyone. But in my if you want to do.
- 25:19Speaker 2: That and it's not having like it for some reason,
- 25:21Speaker 2: Martin scores seventeen and am I score seven? Right? I
- 25:25Speaker 2: mean this met's lineup is not good and it's missing
- 25:29Speaker 2: its best player.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Like I think that's like the Nut Tournament.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Like as much and as much as I talked about
- 25:35Speaker 4: like the Brewers and Giants, I think you can make
- 25:38Speaker 4: the case for either of those pictures there too in
- 25:40Speaker 4: that ballpark.
- 25:41Speaker 3: Mally or Spro.
- 25:45Speaker 4: I don't like either of them, but it's not about
- 25:48Speaker 4: liking them. It's about, you know, how often they're gonna
- 25:51Speaker 4: outscore a chalky Emi.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, that's it.
- 25:58Speaker 2: We braced through this under thirty minutes, always seven games.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Any closing remarks before we get out of here for
- 26:03Speaker 1: the people.
- 26:05Speaker 3: Well, we got to do our stacks and stuff.
- 26:07Speaker 1: So okay, all right, give me your top minutes. Let's go.
- 26:09Speaker 1: I mean, Burns is your top.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Maybe give me like two pitchers that we really didn't
- 26:15Speaker 2: that you would consider in your pool. Let me say that,
- 26:18Speaker 2: not not Chase Burns or am I.
- 26:23Speaker 4: I'm gonna say totally for sure, and then Free. I
- 26:28Speaker 4: think it's those four. Those are the clear four you
- 26:30Speaker 4: want to look at for stacks.
- 26:33Speaker 3: I mean I like that cub stack.
- 26:35Speaker 4: We talked about Cubs, Braves, red Socks, and then my
- 26:40Speaker 4: home run call guy that went yard yesterday, he's going
- 26:47Speaker 4: yard again tonight. Orge Soul there, Oh wow, Hoe Soil.
- 26:51Speaker 1: I love that.
- 26:52Speaker 2: What about what about the Cardinals? I mean I might
- 26:54Speaker 2: be a little higher on the Cardinals than you. Or
- 26:56Speaker 2: do you have any love for the Cardinals? Or do
- 26:58Speaker 2: we not pick on DP?
- 27:00Speaker 1: No?
- 27:01Speaker 4: I mean you can definitely pick on Peterson. It's more
- 27:03Speaker 4: just like I don't love their lineup against left ease.
- 27:06Speaker 4: I wasn't like loving the full stack, but they got
- 27:08Speaker 4: guys I like a lot Herrera Walker, those like that
- 27:11Speaker 4: two man.
- 27:12Speaker 3: You can certainly throw some more in there.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:15Speaker 2: The last guys is a lefty masher too. He'll come
- 27:18Speaker 2: out of the game though, but he's a lefty master.
- 27:19Speaker 2: He could get definitely get your bomb early.
- 27:21Speaker 3: On if I'm stacking them. I'm playing him, but I'm
- 27:24Speaker 3: not one offing him.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for sure, Yeah, but yeah, that'll do it
- 27:28Speaker 1: for us.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Mister Kline gave you some of his own run call
- 27:31Speaker 2: jorgees Solaire.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Hey, that'll do it for us. For me filling in
- 27:35Speaker 1: for my guy Naids and stay safe, everybody. Have a
- 27:38Speaker 1: great week, Matt, always enjoy it. We'll catch up again
