- 0:17Speaker 1: You gotta slip in your palm. Man, a hole in
- 0:20Speaker 1: your chicks, the black coffee on the felt man.
- 0:23Speaker 2: You look like a mess.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Three teen Parlette turned the dust in your head. Now
- 0:29Speaker 1: you stare at the chips like they made you this man.
- 0:33Speaker 1: But don't you go quiet? Don't you fade from the floor.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Your name steal mean something on somebody for show?
- 0:41Speaker 3: Put the glass down, baby, look at me nine, hold on,
- 0:52Speaker 3: hold on, nothing.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Nice now, hold on, hold on, let me for.
- 1:10Speaker 1: But it don't get the crown.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on.
- 1:18Speaker 5: And stay with me.
- 1:19Speaker 6: Now, what's up, everybody? It's towed back with you with Toad.
- 1:30Speaker 6: Still sports for Saturday, June twentieth, going a little bit
- 1:35Speaker 6: early here, got stuff to do. I'm gonna give out
- 1:37Speaker 6: a couple of baseball plays, and I'm gonna give out
- 1:39Speaker 6: a World Cup play.
- 1:41Speaker 5: I like it enough. Hopefully it's gonna get there.
- 1:44Speaker 6: It might be multiple angles that could be used, but
- 1:46Speaker 6: this is the one that I think gives the best price.
- 1:49Speaker 6: So that's what we're gonna do. We went one on
- 1:52Speaker 6: one on the show yesterday. I gave up three plays,
- 1:54Speaker 6: but Washington was a no play because they switched starters.
- 1:58Speaker 6: Cake Valley is although it looks like he's actually gonna
- 2:02Speaker 6: pitch today, but he was. He had an illness, so
- 2:05Speaker 6: he didn't pitch last night, and they went with Pooling
- 2:08Speaker 6: as an opener and then Mikolas, So that would not
- 2:11Speaker 6: be something I would want to back. And in fact,
- 2:14Speaker 6: Tampa Bay did win, and we're winning at the end
- 2:16Speaker 6: of five as well, so that wound up being a
- 2:19Speaker 6: no play there. Definitely, that was pretty much all my
- 2:24Speaker 6: plays unless I specify otherwise, rely on both starters must start. Honestly,
- 2:28Speaker 6: I think we got screwed in the Padres Rangers under
- 2:33Speaker 6: eleven runs scored in the first inning of that game,
- 2:37Speaker 6: Jacob de Grom gave up five runs on the top
- 2:40Speaker 6: of the first, even though he's an ace pitcher, he
- 2:43Speaker 6: and a one era at home San Diego has debatably
- 2:46Speaker 6: the worst offense in baseball.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Five runs. Then we turn.
- 2:50Speaker 6: Around bottom of the bottom of the first, Texas scores six,
- 2:54Speaker 6: even though they score an average of like two point
- 2:56Speaker 6: eight runs per game at home, or maybe I'm exaggerating
- 3:00Speaker 6: a little bit, but it's something like that, absolutely ridiculous,
- 3:03Speaker 6: and then the entirety of the game after that saw
- 3:07Speaker 6: six runs total I think, or maybe five actually it
- 3:10Speaker 6: might have been five.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it was five.
- 3:12Speaker 6: I think you had eleven runs in the first inning
- 3:15Speaker 6: and then five in the.
- 3:16Speaker 5: Remaining eight innings. Absolutely ridiculous.
- 3:20Speaker 6: If that first inning didn't happen, the underwould have still hit.
- 3:24Speaker 5: So yeah, that does not make me happy.
- 3:26Speaker 6: But we did have an easy over with the h
- 3:29Speaker 6: Angels A's game is both teams individually went over that
- 3:34Speaker 6: total and the A's won twelve to eleven and extra innings.
- 3:38Speaker 6: Both teams had eleven runs at the end of nine.
- 3:42Speaker 6: That was a nice easy one there. And I think
- 3:45Speaker 6: the A's or excuse I think the Angels had a
- 3:47Speaker 6: huge lead in the middle of the game. I think
- 3:49Speaker 6: they were winning eleven to four maybe or something like that,
- 3:52Speaker 6: and they blew the whole lead whatever, it was something
- 3:55Speaker 6: like that. That game was insane, massive collapse from the Ange.
- 4:00Speaker 6: Their bullpen is absolute trash.
- 4:02Speaker 5: Obviously.
- 4:03Speaker 6: All right, we'll move on to today. I'm gonna have
- 4:06Speaker 6: two baseball plays. They might be the most obvious plays
- 4:09Speaker 6: on the board, though, which I you know me, I
- 4:12Speaker 6: don't like the obvious. Uh, but that is what we're
- 4:15Speaker 6: going with here, Kyle, what's up? They start hanging out? Charles,
- 4:20Speaker 6: what's up.
- 4:23Speaker 5: Wait what they brought it in a new pitcher and
- 4:28Speaker 5: he walked in the winning run in the A's game.
- 4:32Speaker 6: I guess I wasn't paying attention to that.
- 4:35Speaker 5: That first inning was ridiculous both.
- 4:38Speaker 6: I think both starters stayed in the game and they
- 4:40Speaker 6: both settled down like pretty immediately after that first inning.
- 4:44Speaker 5: I don't know what that first inning was.
- 4:46Speaker 6: You take that off the board, it's gonna that game
- 4:49Speaker 6: is likely to go under or it's at least gonna
- 4:51Speaker 6: be really close. So I'm not happy about that. Uh,
- 4:55Speaker 6: the final score was not indicative of what that game was.
- 4:59Speaker 6: There were more run unscored than hits in the first
- 5:02Speaker 6: inning as well. All right, baseball, we got a full
- 5:08Speaker 6: baseball slate here. There are actually two teams that didn't
- 5:11Speaker 6: play yesterday, which are the Mets in Phillies. I if
- 5:14Speaker 6: anybody knows why they didn't play yesterday, they can inform me.
- 5:17Speaker 6: But very strange because Friday usually every team plays. I
- 5:21Speaker 6: have no clue why those two teams didn't play yesterday,
- 5:24Speaker 6: and they're in the middle of a series already. They played,
- 5:27Speaker 6: they played Thursday and didn't play yes I don't even know.
- 5:30Speaker 6: Man White Sox at Detroit as the first game up.
- 5:34Speaker 6: Detroit did get the win yesterday behind Scooball. They won
- 5:38Speaker 6: four to three, so Detroit ended a little bit of
- 5:41Speaker 6: a losing streak there. White Sox are still over all
- 5:44Speaker 6: the better team here, but Detroit probably has the better bullpen.
- 5:48Speaker 6: Detroit used three relief pitchers yesterday. They're a well rested bullpen.
- 5:53Speaker 6: At least White Sox also used three. I would not
- 5:56Speaker 6: want to back the White Sox bullpen. Really, they're media
- 6:00Speaker 6: ochre though at sixteenth they're not an absolute disaster. Detroit
- 6:04Speaker 6: is actually nineteenth arranged by Whip, but they have a
- 6:06Speaker 6: better ray. I think they have the better bullpen, which
- 6:10Speaker 6: has been the case for the whole season.
- 6:12Speaker 5: White Sox clearly have an offensive edge.
- 6:15Speaker 6: They're tied in eighth in ops and the Tigers are twentieth.
- 6:22Speaker 6: This is a pitching matchup that doesn't look great. Sean
- 6:27Speaker 6: Newcomb not Duke Nukem. Sean Newcomb homeboy from Brockton Mass.
- 6:34Speaker 6: Good for him that he got out of there, though,
- 6:35Speaker 6: because Brockton Mass has a lot of crime. Let's just
- 6:39Speaker 6: put it that way. Nukeomb has been all over the place.
- 6:42Speaker 6: He's a journeyman pitcher. He's not a very good pitcher.
- 6:46Speaker 6: His RA in his career is like one point four,
- 6:49Speaker 6: but he's stuck in the league for like a decade,
- 6:51Speaker 6: so he's useful, I guess useful enough that he's stayed
- 6:56Speaker 6: in the league. He's got good numbers this year, but
- 6:58Speaker 6: he's only going to be an opener here. He's got
- 7:00Speaker 6: a two point seven to six ERA one point zero
- 7:03Speaker 6: four whip. He hasn't gone deeper than two and two
- 7:06Speaker 6: thirds innings, I think, in any outing this year, so
- 7:08Speaker 6: you're probably gonna get around two innings out of him
- 7:11Speaker 6: here or something like that, and then it's gonna be
- 7:13Speaker 6: a White Sox bullpen game, and that is probably not
- 7:16Speaker 6: something I would really have a whole lot of faith.
- 7:19Speaker 6: And Nukeom does have good numbers against the Tigers, for
- 7:23Speaker 6: whatever that's worth. They really haven't hit him well in
- 7:25Speaker 6: twenty four at bats, so while he's out there, he
- 7:27Speaker 6: might be alright, but I don't think I would want
- 7:30Speaker 6: to bank on that. Troy Melton, the guy who I
- 7:32Speaker 6: wanted to back a few days ago, hasn't pitched I
- 7:35Speaker 6: think in that entire span.
- 7:37Speaker 5: He is getting the start for Detroit.
- 7:40Speaker 6: Two point eight one ERA one point oh one whip,
- 7:42Speaker 6: those are some good numbers. Hasn't been good at home though,
- 7:46Speaker 6: seven point two home y ra. That's not good. Obviously,
- 7:50Speaker 6: way worse at home, but if you look at his numbers,
- 7:53Speaker 6: it's a small sample size like that all came from
- 7:56Speaker 6: one outing where you give up four runs at home
- 7:58Speaker 6: against Minnesota and he's five strikeouts and no walks in
- 8:02Speaker 6: that outing. He hasn't pitched since then, so he's been
- 8:04Speaker 6: off for eleven days, which may not be great because
- 8:08Speaker 6: when you're a starting pitcher, you like to be in
- 8:10Speaker 6: that rhythm and in that habit, you know what I mean.
- 8:12Speaker 6: So the fact that they basically skipped his start, I'm
- 8:15Speaker 6: pissed about it because we we would have had a
- 8:18Speaker 6: winner if we just stuck with that game with Detroit's
- 8:20Speaker 6: bullpen game. They won that game anyway, but it was
- 8:23Speaker 6: a no play for me on the show, which I
- 8:25Speaker 6: think was on Monday.
- 8:28Speaker 5: I don't know exactly why they.
- 8:29Speaker 6: Skipped his his turn in the rotation, because he's been
- 8:33Speaker 6: effective other than the fact that he doesn't strike guys out.
- 8:36Speaker 6: He's not putting guys on base though, low hit rate,
- 8:38Speaker 6: low walk rate, somewhat high home run rate, but that
- 8:41Speaker 6: was because he allowed four home runs in that Minnesota game,
- 8:44Speaker 6: which seems more like a fluke than anything else. So
- 8:47Speaker 6: I think he is still pitching well like based on
- 8:50Speaker 6: his command numbers for the most part, so I think
- 8:53Speaker 6: he should actually pitch okay here.
- 8:55Speaker 5: His numbers are decent against the White Sox.
- 8:57Speaker 6: In thirty two at bats two nineteen als, I averaged
- 9:00Speaker 6: six sixty eight ops four to five strikeout walk ratio
- 9:04Speaker 6: is not good, but the rest of those numbers are
- 9:06Speaker 6: I think good enough. I worry a little bit that
- 9:08Speaker 6: he's out of rhythm. One of the other reasons why
- 9:11Speaker 6: I had Detroit as a play in that game was
- 9:14Speaker 6: they had a rest advantage and a situational advantage. I
- 9:17Speaker 6: think they were catching Houston on a return home spot,
- 9:19Speaker 6: so they do not have any of that going for
- 9:22Speaker 6: them here. I'm gonna pass on the game, but Detroit
- 9:26Speaker 6: might be the right side here, although the money doesn't
- 9:29Speaker 6: agree with that. Seventy percent of the tickets on Detroit
- 9:32Speaker 6: sixty two percent of the cash on the White Sox.
- 9:34Speaker 6: Do you really want to back a White Sox bullpen game?
- 9:37Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, the White Sox have the better offense,
- 9:39Speaker 6: so they don't really have many other advantages. Yere other
- 9:42Speaker 6: than if you buy into Detroit is dead on the season.
- 9:46Speaker 6: But I think Detroit is getting up for this series
- 9:48Speaker 6: because I think they resent the fact that the White
- 9:51Speaker 6: Sox are ahead of them in the division.
- 9:53Speaker 5: Like, who the fuck are the White Sox? You know
- 9:54Speaker 5: what I mean?
- 9:55Speaker 6: They've been so bad over the recent years, and the
- 9:58Speaker 6: oddsmakers are telling you Detroit is the better team here.
- 10:01Speaker 6: They're favored and around minus one forties, so even though
- 10:04Speaker 6: they have the worst record, So that's an indicator of something.
- 10:08Speaker 6: I would slightly lean to Detroit. The money is also
- 10:10Speaker 6: coming in on the over at eight and a half.
- 10:12Speaker 6: I wouldn't really disagree with that. I could see the
- 10:15Speaker 6: pitching all around having some issues there, but that's not
- 10:19Speaker 6: going to be a play. No, Why would Philly and
- 10:24Speaker 6: the Mets specifically be the only teams off for Juneteenth.
- 10:32Speaker 6: That makes more sense the World Cups, so that might explain.
- 10:34Speaker 6: There was one other instance recently where two teams were
- 10:38Speaker 6: off on some day where every other team played. It
- 10:41Speaker 6: might have been another World Cup scenario. Dude, these cities
- 10:45Speaker 6: can't handle the World Cup. It's so stupid. The infrastructure
- 10:48Speaker 6: is not there for it. It's ridiculous. The Red Sox
- 10:51Speaker 6: don't really have to worry about that because the Boston
- 10:55Speaker 6: World Cup location is you know, like a half hour
- 10:58Speaker 6: outside of the city, so it doesn't really have an
- 11:00Speaker 6: impact on the traffic in the city. But it's still ridiculous.
- 11:06Speaker 6: But yeah, that makes sense. I guess it was because
- 11:07Speaker 6: there was a Philadelphia World Cup game going on there
- 11:12Speaker 6: or match. Garrett, what's up North Carolina? I haven't been
- 11:16Speaker 6: paying attention. I assume they beat West Virginia. Now where
- 11:19Speaker 6: are they at? Are they in the finals yet?
- 11:21Speaker 5: I have no idea. What's going on in.
- 11:22Speaker 6: The College Baseball World Series or whatever?
- 11:26Speaker 5: It is? All right? Cincinnati and the Yankees.
- 11:29Speaker 6: The Yankees won yesterday with a Schlittler shutout for however
- 11:33Speaker 6: long he was in there.
- 11:34Speaker 5: I didn't really look at the box score, but they.
- 11:36Speaker 6: Won five to nothing yesterday despite being an arrest advantage.
- 11:42Speaker 6: But you know, when you have Cam Schlitzler, that doesn't
- 11:44Speaker 6: really it doesn't even matter if you have a rest
- 11:46Speaker 6: disadvantage or not. Yankees also have the better bullpen here.
- 11:50Speaker 6: The Reds bullpen is bad. Yankees use three guys out
- 11:54Speaker 6: of there's yesterday the Reds only used two, so they're rested.
- 11:57Speaker 6: But The Reds are ranked dead lass and bullpen and WHIP,
- 12:01Speaker 6: but they're tied with Minnesota and WHIP and their era
- 12:03Speaker 6: is better than that, so I'll say Cincinnati is somewhere
- 12:06Speaker 6: in the bottom three or four bullpen, So there you go.
- 12:10Speaker 6: They're still very bad. The Yankees are ninth in bullpen.
- 12:15Speaker 6: They're pretty good.
- 12:16Speaker 5: Yankees are number two in offense.
- 12:18Speaker 6: The Reds are twenty fourth, so the Yankees have a
- 12:21Speaker 6: big advantage there. Two Yankees are gonna be a huge
- 12:24Speaker 6: favorite here, though, the only phase of this game where
- 12:28Speaker 6: the Yankees might not have the advantage of the starting pitching.
- 12:31Speaker 6: But the starting pitching is debatable here. Andrew Abbot is
- 12:36Speaker 6: pitching for the Reds. He's not been as good this
- 12:39Speaker 6: year as he has been in his previous seasons. He's
- 12:41Speaker 6: got a three point nine to five RA, which is fine,
- 12:44Speaker 6: but a one point four to one WHIP is not good.
- 12:47Speaker 5: He is good on the road, though, three point eight
- 12:49Speaker 5: Roady Ray.
- 12:51Speaker 6: He's been okay recently really, going through the beginning of
- 12:56Speaker 6: or going in going all the way back to late
- 12:59Speaker 6: eight bro. He's allowed three or fewer earned runs in
- 13:02Speaker 6: every single start, but his walk number is too high.
- 13:06Speaker 6: He's got to do something about that. Even recently, his
- 13:09Speaker 6: walk number has been too high. His strikeout rate has
- 13:11Speaker 6: gone up a little bit recently because on the course
- 13:13Speaker 6: of the season he has a low strikeout rate. His
- 13:16Speaker 6: walk rate is too high, and his hit rate is okay.
- 13:19Speaker 6: But really it's the walks that are the biggest concern.
- 13:21Speaker 6: He's not really a huge strikeout pitcher, but he's got
- 13:24Speaker 6: to do something about the walks. His numbers against the
- 13:27Speaker 6: Yankees are not good, though, in forty at bats three
- 13:29Speaker 6: hundred average, allowed eight h three ops, ten to five
- 13:32Speaker 6: strike out walk ratio. I'm not really expecting Abbott to
- 13:36Speaker 6: do that well. Here.
- 13:37Speaker 5: Will Warren is pitching for the Yankees.
- 13:40Speaker 6: He's been okay, but he's getting a little bit worse
- 13:42Speaker 6: as well. Three point four to seven e RA, one
- 13:45Speaker 6: point two to nine WHIP, not as good at home
- 13:48Speaker 6: three point nine to six homey RA. This month, he
- 13:53Speaker 6: has a six to five strikeout walk ratio and has
- 13:55Speaker 6: failed to make it five innings in both of his outings.
- 13:58Speaker 6: Threw way too many pitches and both of them was
- 14:00Speaker 6: approaching one hundred pitches in both against Cleveland and Toronto.
- 14:04Speaker 6: That's not a good sign. Those are not good offenses,
- 14:07Speaker 6: but those were both road games. I don't know if
- 14:09Speaker 6: there's a whole lot to take away from that. Last
- 14:12Speaker 6: year he was way better at home, I'm pretty sure,
- 14:14Speaker 6: than on the road, although like I said, this year
- 14:16Speaker 6: it's actually the opposite.
- 14:19Speaker 5: So that's not a good sign.
- 14:21Speaker 6: That he pitched poorly on the road in those two
- 14:23Speaker 6: starts against weak offenses. Cincinnati doesn't really have much experience
- 14:28Speaker 6: against him, though three of their heroes have faced and
- 14:31Speaker 6: they're only one for ten. The only hit is a
- 14:33Speaker 6: single from Nathaniel Lowe three to two strikeout walk ratio. Obviously,
- 14:38Speaker 6: that's a one hundred average three fifty ops. So Warren
- 14:42Speaker 6: does have the better matchup here based on the numbers
- 14:45Speaker 6: and the fact that he's unfamiliar to Cincinnati, which might
- 14:48Speaker 6: give him a little bit of an advantage here.
- 14:52Speaker 5: Yankees obviously the better team.
- 14:53Speaker 6: But you're paying a huge price for this minus two
- 14:56Speaker 6: pH five looks like it's around what the number is here.
- 15:00Speaker 6: I don't think you can lay that type of price
- 15:02Speaker 6: with Will Warren man. I just think it's too heavy
- 15:04Speaker 6: of a price. You're getting tax for the Yankees because
- 15:07Speaker 6: it's the Yankees. Eighty eight percent of the tickets and
- 15:10Speaker 6: cash on the Yankees.
- 15:12Speaker 5: I mean, I think the Yankees.
- 15:14Speaker 6: Likely win, but that price is way too high. The
- 15:18Speaker 6: money is definitely backing the over, and maybe that is
- 15:21Speaker 6: a way to.
- 15:22Speaker 5: Look at this game.
- 15:22Speaker 6: Fifty two the tickets on the under, eighty six percent
- 15:26Speaker 6: of the cash on the over totals at nine and
- 15:28Speaker 6: a half. Here, I think, you know, I feel like
- 15:32Speaker 6: a broken record, but I think this is a game
- 15:34Speaker 6: where Warren I think is more difficult to figure out.
- 15:37Speaker 6: In this game, I think it's more likely that the
- 15:39Speaker 6: Yankees just get some runs against Abbott plus Cincinnati's train
- 15:44Speaker 6: wreck of a bullpen, So I think Yankees over team
- 15:47Speaker 6: total makes.
- 15:47Speaker 5: Sense in this game. That might be the way I
- 15:50Speaker 5: would look at this one.
- 15:51Speaker 6: You'll probably need him to get You might need him
- 15:53Speaker 6: to get to six runs though, if you want that,
- 15:55Speaker 6: but they're certainly capable of that. I mean, they score
- 15:58Speaker 6: almost that as an average home this year, So I
- 16:01Speaker 6: think that's what makes the most sense in that game.
- 16:05Speaker 6: Oklahoma in the Championship, is it a series? Do they
- 16:09Speaker 6: play multiple games or is it a single game?
- 16:11Speaker 5: I don't even know.
- 16:12Speaker 6: A single game would allow for a lot of variants.
- 16:18Speaker 6: Toronto at Chicago Cubs, I don't know what happened yesterday.
- 16:22Speaker 6: The Cubs won in that afternoon game sixteen to two,
- 16:25Speaker 6: and I'm pretty sure that that was Gaustman on the mound.
- 16:29Speaker 6: I don't know what happened to Gaustman in that game yesterday.
- 16:32Speaker 6: Man if it was him, I don't know what that was,
- 16:35Speaker 6: but it looks like he was either out of the
- 16:37Speaker 6: game really earlier. I don't know what that was. But
- 16:39Speaker 6: Toronto has had some heavy bullpen usage. He was five
- 16:43Speaker 6: guys out of the bullpen yesterday and a lot in
- 16:45Speaker 6: the recent days too. This is not a bullpen that
- 16:49Speaker 6: you really want to back right now. Chicago used three
- 16:52Speaker 6: guys out of the bullpen and they rested their whole
- 16:54Speaker 6: bullpen the day before that. So the Cubs have a
- 16:57Speaker 6: better bullpen and the more rested bullpen, and they're the
- 17:00Speaker 6: tenth ranked bullpen Toronto's thirteenth. But the Cubs do have
- 17:04Speaker 6: a I think kind of a significant bullpen edge here
- 17:07Speaker 6: given the rest scenario. Cubs number seven in offense, they're
- 17:11Speaker 6: significantly better there Toronto number twenty three. So the Cubs
- 17:16Speaker 6: do have some advantages here. Patrick Korban is on the
- 17:19Speaker 6: mouth for the Blue Jays. He's not very good four
- 17:22Speaker 6: point five to seven e RA, one point four to
- 17:24Speaker 6: eight WHIP. He's better on the road though, three point
- 17:27Speaker 6: five to seven roady RA. But I wouldn't trust him
- 17:30Speaker 6: at all right now. He's got a seven to six
- 17:32Speaker 6: strikeout walk ratio this month. Granted he's faced some difficult
- 17:36Speaker 6: opponents here, the Braves, the Yankees, Philly. I mean, I
- 17:40Speaker 6: guess they're capable at least in putting up offense. These
- 17:45Speaker 6: command numbers are just really bad for KORbin here, and
- 17:47Speaker 6: he's not even made it through four innings in his
- 17:50Speaker 6: last two outings. He's not in good form right now.
- 17:53Speaker 6: I would not want to want anything to do with
- 17:55Speaker 6: him here. He's got a high hit rate on the season,
- 17:57Speaker 6: his walk rate's not great, and his strikeout rate is
- 18:00Speaker 6: really low.
- 18:01Speaker 5: He's just not very good numbers.
- 18:03Speaker 6: Against the Cubs. Also back that up, those are not
- 18:06Speaker 6: good either. One hundred and fifty five at bats against them,
- 18:08Speaker 6: so they're very familiar with them.
- 18:10Speaker 5: A few of their guys rake against them.
- 18:12Speaker 6: He's got twenty four strikeouts, fifteen walks, three sixteen average
- 18:17Speaker 6: nine to fifty one ops against them. The Cubs likely
- 18:20Speaker 6: are gonna be able to do some offensive damage here.
- 18:23Speaker 6: Conforto and Swanson both have a ton of at bats
- 18:26Speaker 6: against him. They both absolutely I don't know if I
- 18:29Speaker 6: would say absolutely, but they both do a lot of
- 18:31Speaker 6: damage against him. So do with that info what you want.
- 18:35Speaker 6: Maybe the hitter props on those guys. Hits plus runs
- 18:39Speaker 6: plus RBIs is what I recommend there when you're going
- 18:42Speaker 6: over on a hitter prop, because then the walk might
- 18:45Speaker 6: not be wasted because it doesn't count as a total base.
- 18:49Speaker 6: Colin Ray is pitching for the Cubs, though, do you
- 18:52Speaker 6: really want to back him?
- 18:54Speaker 5: I don't know about that.
- 18:55Speaker 6: Five point three five VRA and one point four to
- 18:58Speaker 6: six whip not good. But he is good at home
- 19:00Speaker 6: three point zero three home he RA, so there is that.
- 19:03Speaker 6: But he's failed to make it five innings in his
- 19:05Speaker 6: last two starts. One was at Course Field. Maybe give
- 19:09Speaker 6: him a pass for that, But then he did it
- 19:11Speaker 6: again at San Francisco. That's not a good sign. That's
- 19:14Speaker 6: a pitcher friendly ballpark. A week offense.
- 19:17Speaker 5: This is not good.
- 19:18Speaker 6: He's got eight walks seven strikeouts this month. That's not good.
- 19:23Speaker 6: He's not in command right now. He's not pitching well
- 19:25Speaker 6: right now.
- 19:25Speaker 5: He's got a.
- 19:26Speaker 6: Pretty high hit rate on the season, walk rate is okay,
- 19:29Speaker 6: strikeout rate is low. He's just not great, although he
- 19:33Speaker 6: does actually do well against Toronto, but it's in a
- 19:36Speaker 6: small sample. Six hitters have faced him seventeen at bats
- 19:39Speaker 6: one seventy six average five to seventy five ops. It's
- 19:45Speaker 6: hard to gauge man because Ray does have the better
- 19:47Speaker 6: matchup numbers here, So the Cubs as a side makes
- 19:51Speaker 6: some sense here. You know, I wouldn't disagree with the Cubs.
- 19:57Speaker 6: It looks like the money is completely disagreeing though. Seventy
- 19:59Speaker 6: five percent of the tickets on the Cubs, eighty nine
- 20:01Speaker 6: percent of the cash on Toronto. Do do you seriously
- 20:05Speaker 6: want to back Corbin here? I would not want to.
- 20:09Speaker 6: Money's also coming in on.
- 20:10Speaker 5: The over.
- 20:13Speaker 6: Cubs, by the way, or at about minus one thirty
- 20:15Speaker 6: here on the money line, I think the Cubs money
- 20:17Speaker 6: line makes some sense.
- 20:19Speaker 5: I also do agree with the over.
- 20:21Speaker 6: I mean, I think both starting pitchers are kind of
- 20:24Speaker 6: fadable here, so over nine makes some sense as well.
- 20:28Speaker 6: Seventy percent of the tickets ninety five percent of the
- 20:30Speaker 6: cash on the over. But if you combine those two
- 20:33Speaker 6: and Ray could pitch well here due to his matchup
- 20:36Speaker 6: numbers whatever. Perhaps the best approach here is Cubs team
- 20:40Speaker 6: total over you know, it sounds like a broken record. Again,
- 20:43Speaker 6: I don't really do team totals as my you know,
- 20:46Speaker 6: actual plays. Maybe I should, because you know, I think
- 20:49Speaker 6: I have a decent gauge on this, and baseball has
- 20:52Speaker 6: been really really good for me this season.
- 20:54Speaker 5: But mostly with totals and sides.
- 20:57Speaker 6: Obviously from all totals and sides for me, lot of totals,
- 21:01Speaker 6: but yeah, team totals, you know, are just kind of
- 21:04Speaker 6: a natural result of thinking about the total and the
- 21:08Speaker 6: side though, So Cubs over team total makes some sense
- 21:11Speaker 6: here as well. You'll need them to probably score five
- 21:15Speaker 6: runs in that one if you if you want them,
- 21:18Speaker 6: it's doable obviously, So something like that maybe, uh, hold
- 21:23Speaker 6: on second here, best of three is the College World Series.
- 21:30Speaker 5: Yeah, the Cubs. No, I would not back Corn.
- 21:33Speaker 6: There's almost no scenario where I'm gonna be back in
- 21:36Speaker 6: corb and he has to have good matchup numbers, probably
- 21:39Speaker 6: has to be in a good split for him whatever.
- 21:43Speaker 6: San Diego and Texas. You know, I mentioned yesterday this
- 21:45Speaker 6: looks like an under type of series. This game could
- 21:49Speaker 6: possibly be an under here, but I don't think I
- 21:52Speaker 6: want to risk it on this one. Watched this game
- 21:55Speaker 6: go under though after yesterday's under was a bust, even
- 21:58Speaker 6: though it was just because the first was terrible. Texas
- 22:02Speaker 6: used two guys out of the bullpen yesterday, San Diego
- 22:05Speaker 6: used four. San Diego did not use Mason Miller, though
- 22:08Speaker 6: Texas did use I think their closers lots. I don't
- 22:12Speaker 6: know if that's who their closer is or not, but
- 22:14Speaker 6: they did use him yesterday. Texas still is a good
- 22:17Speaker 6: bullpen though the eighth in bullpens, San Diego seventh. These
- 22:20Speaker 6: are both good bullpens, though they're both I think like
- 22:23Speaker 6: top five bullpens. I would say San Diego's number two
- 22:26Speaker 6: in ERA and Texas is not that far behind that.
- 22:30Speaker 6: Neither offense is good Texas twenty second, San Diego dead last, thirtieth.
- 22:36Speaker 6: Texas doesn't hit well at home. Texas does typically pitch.
- 22:39Speaker 5: Well at home.
- 22:40Speaker 6: If you want the under here, you're gonna have to
- 22:42Speaker 6: deal with Walker Bueller, though I don't know if I'd
- 22:45Speaker 6: really want to do that. He's got a four point
- 22:47Speaker 6: one four ERA one point three to four whip is
- 22:50Speaker 6: not very good. He's not good on the road five
- 22:52Speaker 6: point four road Ray but I think part of the
- 22:54Speaker 6: reason why he's better at home is San Diego is
- 22:56Speaker 6: a very pitcher friendly ballpark, and we know Texas is
- 23:00Speaker 6: also a very pitcher friendly ballpark, so he at least
- 23:04Speaker 6: draws a good environment to pitch in here. And Bueller
- 23:08Speaker 6: has allowed only one run and each of his starts
- 23:10Speaker 6: this month, so he is actually pitching all right right now.
- 23:13Speaker 6: Fifteen to four strike out walk ratio over that span.
- 23:16Speaker 6: He has been a little bit too hittable, though two
- 23:18Speaker 6: of those starts have been on the road, so you
- 23:21Speaker 6: got to give him credit for that, and the one
- 23:22Speaker 6: start where he didn't make it five innings was at home,
- 23:26Speaker 6: so you know, do with that info what you want.
- 23:29Speaker 6: I guess he's got a slightly high hit rate, his
- 23:31Speaker 6: walk rate is a bit too high, strike out rate
- 23:34Speaker 6: is still fairly low. I mean, he's not what he
- 23:37Speaker 6: was earlier in his career, Like his Tommy John surgery
- 23:40Speaker 6: and whatever has definitely taking something off of his stuff.
- 23:43Speaker 6: His numbers against Texas are pretty good, though in fifty
- 23:46Speaker 6: nine at bats one eighty six average allowed five to
- 23:49Speaker 6: sixty one ops. Fifteen to six strike out walk ratio
- 23:52Speaker 6: is not terrific, but the rest of these numbers are
- 23:54Speaker 6: pretty good. I think Bueller might be able to pitch
- 23:57Speaker 6: okay here. I mean he is in better form right now.
- 24:00Speaker 6: This is a This is a good draw for him,
- 24:02Speaker 6: at least as far as a Road started, he was
- 24:04Speaker 6: good and his last two Roads starts. Nathan Yavaldi is
- 24:08Speaker 6: pitching for Texas. He's still got to get his RA down,
- 24:11Speaker 6: but his whip kind of indicates that his ERA should
- 24:14Speaker 6: be better than it is at four point two three.
- 24:17Speaker 5: His whip is one point.
- 24:18Speaker 6: One seven, so he is He's still having a pretty
- 24:21Speaker 6: decent season here, although not numbers that are fantastic like
- 24:24Speaker 6: they were last year. He's been a little bit worse
- 24:27Speaker 6: at home, oddly four point five home ERA, but he's
- 24:31Speaker 6: pitched well. I don't know, man, I mean, he had
- 24:33Speaker 6: a couple of if he starts in here, but his
- 24:35Speaker 6: strike got walk ratio remains good. So even though he
- 24:38Speaker 6: gave up some runs, I think he got unlucky other
- 24:40Speaker 6: than one start where he got actually hit pretty hard
- 24:43Speaker 6: by Saint Louis, but still had good command numbers there.
- 24:47Speaker 5: The rest of his starts, he's still got his command.
- 24:50Speaker 6: Sixteen to five strike out walk ratio this month pretty good,
- 24:53Speaker 6: but he's allowed more than one hit per inning, but
- 24:55Speaker 6: all because of that Saint Louis start. So I think
- 24:58Speaker 6: if you throw that out, Evaldi is actually better than
- 25:01Speaker 6: his era looks. He's got a decent strikeout rate on
- 25:03Speaker 6: the season, he gets a lot of ground ball outs,
- 25:06Speaker 6: low hit rate, walk rate is okay with him being
- 25:10Speaker 6: a ground ball pitcher. Though I don't know how he
- 25:12Speaker 6: has so many home runs allowed. These are like I
- 25:15Speaker 6: don't know, it's it's very weird to see pitching numbers
- 25:17Speaker 6: like this.
- 25:18Speaker 5: I don't think there's.
- 25:18Speaker 6: Any other guy who's allowed that many home runs but
- 25:21Speaker 6: also as a ground ball pitcher, so it's very very strange.
- 25:25Speaker 5: But I don't know.
- 25:26Speaker 6: He's got to get those home runs down somehow. San
- 25:29Speaker 6: Diego might not be a team that's gonna hit home
- 25:31Speaker 6: runs off him. Though San Diego has sixty two at
- 25:35Speaker 6: bats against him, they only have two home runs over
- 25:37Speaker 6: that entire span. From France and Machado, they got a
- 25:40Speaker 6: two ten average against them, six to twelve ops, thirteen
- 25:44Speaker 6: to four strike out walk ratio. That's not excellent, but
- 25:47Speaker 6: really most of those numbers are pretty good. I think
- 25:51Speaker 6: this game is probably still an under that would probably
- 25:54Speaker 6: be the way I would look at this, all of
- 25:55Speaker 6: the money he's coming in on the over seventy seven
- 25:58Speaker 6: percent of the tickets, ninety four percent of the cash
- 26:00Speaker 6: the over.
- 26:01Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 26:01Speaker 6: Both pictures look like they get a good draw here
- 26:04Speaker 6: as far as their matchup, and whatever undermakes sense to me.
- 26:08Speaker 6: I don't like it as much as I liked yesterday
- 26:10Speaker 6: and Yesterday's you know, bombed because of the first ending,
- 26:14Speaker 6: but whatever, the total seven and a half in this one.
- 26:17Speaker 6: Texas is also favored at minus one thirty something, seventy
- 26:20Speaker 6: eight percent of the tickets eighty nine percent of the
- 26:22Speaker 6: cash on them. I wouldn't necessarily disagree with Texas here.
- 26:27Speaker 6: I mean I think generally Evaldi is the better pitcher
- 26:30Speaker 6: over Bueller. The bullpen advantage is probably with San Diego, though,
- 26:35Speaker 6: uh because they didn't use their highest leverage arms yesterday,
- 26:39Speaker 6: so something to keep in mind. It is close, though
- 26:41Speaker 6: both bullpens are good, so UH do with that info
- 26:45Speaker 6: what you want. As I always say, Cubs have the
- 26:48Speaker 6: better offense. They've struggled. They have struggled recently, though they
- 26:54Speaker 6: might be able to break out of it against uh
- 26:57Speaker 6: Patrick Corbin though, and Toronto's offense is not been good.
- 27:01Speaker 6: Next game up will be one of my plays in baseball.
- 27:04Speaker 6: Here with Milwaukee and Atlanta. We were supposed to have
- 27:07Speaker 6: an elite pitching matchup yesterday between Mizerowski and Sale, and
- 27:12Speaker 6: by the way, Atlanta won that game. And I told
- 27:14Speaker 6: you I thought there was value on Atlanta in that
- 27:17Speaker 6: game because Missierowski just gets you have to pay premium
- 27:21Speaker 6: for Mizierowski. And the game was close and Atlanta wound
- 27:23Speaker 6: up winning the game. So but this game, this is
- 27:27Speaker 6: an elite pitching matchup today, and people might not realize
- 27:30Speaker 6: that one side of it is as elite as it is.
- 27:33Speaker 6: This is one of my plays, and you probably already
- 27:36Speaker 6: know what it is because I said it's going to
- 27:37Speaker 6: be obvious, and I don't like the obvious. Maybe it's
- 27:40Speaker 6: too obvious, but this is an under for me. I
- 27:43Speaker 6: found under seven and a half at minus one point
- 27:46Speaker 6: fifteen at the book that used to be ESPN's book,
- 27:51Speaker 6: if you know what I mean. A certain app, a
- 27:54Speaker 6: certain scoreboard app brought bought it out, if you know
- 27:58Speaker 6: what I mean, for whatever reason, that had this number,
- 28:01Speaker 6: but every other book looked like it was at seven.
- 28:04Speaker 6: But I would still agree with the under seven. Here
- 28:06Speaker 6: I think this looks like a very low scoring game here.
- 28:09Speaker 5: This is an elite.
- 28:09Speaker 6: Pitching matchup here. We have two good bullpens. I know
- 28:12Speaker 6: yesterday's game went under as well. It was a three
- 28:15Speaker 6: to two final. Milwaukee on these two guys out of
- 28:18Speaker 6: the bullpen yesterday, did not use their closer yesterday. Atlanta
- 28:23Speaker 6: has an elite bullpen these three guys.
- 28:25Speaker 5: I think they did use.
- 28:26Speaker 6: Their closer to finish the game off, but they have
- 28:28Speaker 6: an elite bullpen. They're number one, so we'll roll with
- 28:32Speaker 6: their bullpen. Milwaukee's number eleven, but they have a top
- 28:35Speaker 6: several bullpen ERA, so we'll roll with both bullpens here. Yes,
- 28:40Speaker 6: both offenses are capable. Atlanta number six, Milwaukee tied in
- 28:43Speaker 6: eighth with the White Sox. But I think these pitchers
- 28:46Speaker 6: can definitely deal in this game. So I think the
- 28:49Speaker 6: offenses will be held will be limited in this game.
- 28:54Speaker 6: Let's say Kyle Harrison is pitching for the Brewers. He's
- 28:57Speaker 6: having an excellent season two point four ERA one point
- 29:01Speaker 6: one whip. I know is roadyra is four point five
- 29:04Speaker 6: to six, but I think you should not be scared
- 29:06Speaker 6: away by that because he has very limited road appearances
- 29:10Speaker 6: and it was all one start pitching in that Las
- 29:13Speaker 6: Vegas stadium. That was that twenty nine run game against
- 29:18Speaker 6: the A's. He wasn't good in that outing. I would
- 29:20Speaker 6: just throw that away completely. I don't think you could
- 29:23Speaker 6: take anything away from that. He bounced back really nicely
- 29:26Speaker 6: with a six inning shutout against Philly the next time out,
- 29:29Speaker 6: so I'm not worried about that that much. Plus, he
- 29:32Speaker 6: had thrown a hundred pitches to start before that, which
- 29:35Speaker 6: I think was the first time he'd done that. Oh no,
- 29:37Speaker 6: it was the second time he'd done that this season.
- 29:39Speaker 6: But maybe he was a little bit gasped. But it
- 29:41Speaker 6: was just a weird environment to have to go to,
- 29:43Speaker 6: so I'm going to give him a pass for that.
- 29:46Speaker 6: His other road starts, he had a really good one
- 29:47Speaker 6: against the Cobs, a good one against Washington earlier in
- 29:51Speaker 6: the season. Detroit and Kansas City. I mean, those aren't
- 29:53Speaker 6: great offenses, but Kansas City is better at home. Wasn't
- 29:57Speaker 6: great against Detroit, but whatever it was in April, and
- 30:00Speaker 6: then Washington and Chicago Cubs, those teams both can definitely hit.
- 30:05Speaker 6: So the fact that he did well when both those
- 30:07Speaker 6: starts is a good sign. With his road appearances. Again,
- 30:11Speaker 6: his numbers are all just skewed by that A's start,
- 30:14Speaker 6: and the Braves have not really done much against him.
- 30:17Speaker 6: They have eighteen at bats against him across six batters,
- 30:20Speaker 6: no extra base hits, five strikeouts, no walks, one sixty
- 30:23Speaker 6: seven average three thirty three ops. And this is even better,
- 30:28Speaker 6: I think because Harrison has not faced them this year,
- 30:31Speaker 6: so these.
- 30:31Speaker 5: Numbers are all in.
- 30:32Speaker 6: They're in the past, like when Harrison was on the
- 30:35Speaker 6: Giants and he wasn't pitching.
- 30:37Speaker 5: At an elite level like he is right now.
- 30:39Speaker 6: So the fact that these hitters didn't even do damage
- 30:42Speaker 6: against him when he wasn't as good, that's a good
- 30:45Speaker 6: sign here. I think he should pitch well here. Meanwhile,
- 30:48Speaker 6: Chris Sale is pitching for Atlanta, obviously not going out
- 30:51Speaker 6: on a limb saying that he should pitch well here.
- 30:54Speaker 6: Two point three ERA one point zero five whip for him.
- 30:57Speaker 6: He's been really good at home one point two to
- 30:59Speaker 6: six home. By the way, Atlanta their offense has not
- 31:02Speaker 6: been as good at home this year, so that helps
- 31:04Speaker 6: Harrison as well.
- 31:06Speaker 5: Just throwing that out there.
- 31:08Speaker 6: Sale was a bit iffy two starts to go against Toronto.
- 31:11Speaker 6: I don't know what happened in that start, but he
- 31:13Speaker 6: was way too hittable there. Still had a good strikeout
- 31:16Speaker 6: rate though, but he bounced back had a better start
- 31:18Speaker 6: last time at the White Sox, which is not an
- 31:21Speaker 6: easy task, but he was able to get through. That
- 31:23Speaker 6: start wasn't as great as start, but it was good enough.
- 31:27Speaker 6: I mean, Sale has been really good all season. He's
- 31:29Speaker 6: allowed more than twouring runs only twice more than three
- 31:32Speaker 6: ear and runs only once in a weird outlier start
- 31:35Speaker 6: at Anaheim, where he's still had a lot of strikeouts.
- 31:38Speaker 6: He's got a high strikeout rate, low hit rate, his
- 31:41Speaker 6: walk rate's fairly low as well. Just good numbers across
- 31:44Speaker 6: the board, and he also has good numbers well. His
- 31:46Speaker 6: numbers are mostly good against Milwaukee, let's say seventy six
- 31:50Speaker 6: at bats. They do actually have contact hitting against him,
- 31:53Speaker 6: and that is what Milwaukee does.
- 31:55Speaker 5: They're a contact hitting team. They don't hit for power. Really.
- 31:58Speaker 6: They do have a two seventy six average against him,
- 32:00Speaker 6: which that concerns me slightly because that is kind of high.
- 32:03Speaker 6: But a six ninety three OPS is pretty low, especially
- 32:06Speaker 6: given what that batting average is. And he's got a
- 32:09Speaker 6: twenty eight to seven strike up walk ratio against them.
- 32:12Speaker 6: So I do still think Sale does have the upper
- 32:14Speaker 6: hand against this line up here. We're gonna go with it.
- 32:18Speaker 6: We'll go with the under in this one. The money
- 32:21Speaker 6: looks like it doesn't totally agree. Fifty nine percent of
- 32:24Speaker 6: the tickets, sixty one percent of the cash on the
- 32:26Speaker 6: over total, like I said, is somewhere between seven and
- 32:30Speaker 6: seven and a half here. The money is also backing Milwaukee,
- 32:34Speaker 6: which kind of makes sense because Harrison is the lesser
- 32:37Speaker 6: known pitcher here, Like, you're probably paying a little bit
- 32:39Speaker 6: of a price for Sale here a minus one thirty four,
- 32:42Speaker 6: especially after yesterday. Oh, Atlanta beat Mizzierowski. Of course they
- 32:46Speaker 6: can beat whoever this Harrison guy is, especially with Sale
- 32:50Speaker 6: on the mound, you know what I mean. I don't
- 32:52Speaker 6: know if that's the right way to look at it.
- 32:54Speaker 6: I mean, I wouldn't really disagree with Milwaukee here. Plus,
- 32:56Speaker 6: Milwaukee does have their highest leverage bullpen arms of ABO
- 33:00Speaker 6: sixty eight percent of the tickets on Atlanta ninety three
- 33:03Speaker 6: percent of the casual Milwaukee. I think Harrison could definitely
- 33:05Speaker 6: duel Sale here, and he has the better matchup numbers too,
- 33:09Speaker 6: So I don't disagree with Milwaukee here. But under is
- 33:13Speaker 6: uh is my call on that game. We gotta get
- 33:16Speaker 6: back to it, man, Let's let's get these right. SOB,
- 33:19Speaker 6: what's up? You have Philly Feeley in the UFC by
- 33:25Speaker 6: decision excuse you had a huge underdog Price Lima in
- 33:29Speaker 6: a knockout and fight just uh wait what.
- 33:36Speaker 5: Fight to start? Round? Oh? The so round two at
- 33:39Speaker 5: least begins? Okay?
- 33:40Speaker 6: Yeah, so the fight goes longer than one round basically at.
- 33:43Speaker 5: Plus six point fifty.
- 33:45Speaker 6: So that's a that's basically like one of those parlay
- 33:47Speaker 6: type of bets. Like it's one of those I don't
- 33:50Speaker 6: know what you call it, but a lot of books
- 33:52Speaker 6: will allow you to like they'll just throw odds out
- 33:55Speaker 6: there on it, but they basically they kind of do
- 33:57Speaker 6: screw you though they basically give you parlay odds on those.
- 34:00Speaker 6: So I don't like those combo bets like that. Even
- 34:04Speaker 6: though it looks like you're getting good odds on it,
- 34:06Speaker 6: you really aren't.
- 34:07Speaker 5: And then Sterling.
- 34:10Speaker 6: Navajo Sterling over one and a half rounds at plus
- 34:14Speaker 6: one hundred, all right, so that that fight to go
- 34:17Speaker 6: deeper into the fight, all right? Those are sobs UFC
- 34:21Speaker 6: plays there. I don't know anything about the UFC, so
- 34:26Speaker 6: I have no comment on that except for the parlay one.
- 34:29Speaker 6: I just don't like anything that is essentially a parlay. Garrett, Yes,
- 34:35Speaker 6: you're rooting for the Braves first five under. I don't
- 34:39Speaker 6: like it as much because you're looking at like a
- 34:41Speaker 6: three or a three and a half there. Why would
- 34:43Speaker 6: I do that when you have two good bullpens here.
- 34:45Speaker 6: Both starters probably get further than five innings in the game.
- 34:50Speaker 6: I wouldn't disagree with it, but I think the full
- 34:52Speaker 6: game is the better option.
- 34:56Speaker 5: Yeah. Wait, what's a prop bet? What are you talking about? Well?
- 35:02Speaker 6: No, well, like it's it's a combination of two props though,
- 35:05Speaker 6: so it's basically a parlay. They probably put it up
- 35:08Speaker 6: there under the prop section or whatever, but it's two
- 35:11Speaker 6: It's like two outcomes that aren't really correlated to each other, right,
- 35:18Speaker 6: I mean, in fact, they're actually probably not correlated because
- 35:22Speaker 6: you're looking for a knockout, but the fight to also
- 35:25Speaker 6: get into the second round. You know, those seem kind
- 35:29Speaker 6: of contradictory because if you're expecting a knockout, you're kind
- 35:33Speaker 6: of you sort of are expecting that to happen possibly
- 35:36Speaker 6: early in the fight.
- 35:37Speaker 5: You know what, I mean, I don't know. That seems contradictory.
- 35:40Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 35:41Speaker 6: I don't know enough about fighting, I guess, but yes,
- 35:44Speaker 6: it's a prop bet, but it's a combination of two.
- 35:48Speaker 6: So they're basically giving you parlay odds on it, you
- 35:51Speaker 6: know what I mean, Like they're not giving you a
- 35:52Speaker 6: good enough odds on that.
- 35:55Speaker 5: San Francisco and Miami.
- 35:57Speaker 6: I actually forgot to handicap this, so I'm gonna do
- 36:00Speaker 6: it on the fly here. Miami won the game yesterday
- 36:03Speaker 6: four to three, despite being in a return home spot.
- 36:06Speaker 6: I kind of like San Francisco in that game yesterday,
- 36:08Speaker 6: although I think I would have I don't know. I
- 36:10Speaker 6: think I probably did lean full game because it was
- 36:12Speaker 6: a Miami bullpen game. But Miami's bullpen is pretty good.
- 36:18Speaker 6: But yeah, Miami used literally everybody. They use eight guys
- 36:22Speaker 6: out of the bullpen yesterday, so I would not want
- 36:24Speaker 6: to back their bullpen here in this game, even if
- 36:27Speaker 6: it is good.
- 36:28Speaker 5: San Francisco used four.
- 36:30Speaker 6: Their bullpen is a bit more rested, although it's not
- 36:32Speaker 6: very good. Miami's number four in bullpen here because they
- 36:35Speaker 6: had a good game yesterday and basically pitched the entire game.
- 36:39Speaker 6: San Francisco twenty fifth, although I think they're better than
- 36:43Speaker 6: that at least, but they're not a great bullpen this year.
- 36:46Speaker 5: Miami is nineteenth in offense.
- 36:48Speaker 6: San Francisco is twelfth, though though I don't trust San
- 36:51Speaker 6: Francisco's offense. Like I said, I don't think they're actually good.
- 36:55Speaker 6: Trevor McDonald is getting the start for the Giants. His
- 36:59Speaker 6: numbers are getting on four point six four ERA, one
- 37:02Speaker 6: point twenty nine whip is not great. He's been good
- 37:05Speaker 6: on the road, though, three point twenty seven road the RAY.
- 37:08Speaker 6: I don't know what is up with these Giants pitchers
- 37:10Speaker 6: not pitching well at home, even though it's a pitcher
- 37:12Speaker 6: friendly stadium.
- 37:13Speaker 5: I don't understand it. McDonald wasn't good in his last.
- 37:16Speaker 6: Start against the Cubs, but the Cubs were facing him
- 37:18Speaker 6: twice in a row.
- 37:20Speaker 5: Maybe you give him a pass for that.
- 37:21Speaker 6: But he also has walked nine guys in his last
- 37:24Speaker 6: thirteen and two thirds innings across three starts. That is
- 37:27Speaker 6: not good. In addition to allowing more than one hit
- 37:30Speaker 6: per inning. Strike out rate has been high, but his
- 37:33Speaker 6: walk rate's gone up. He's just not in good form
- 37:36Speaker 6: right now. Granted that was against Milwaukee and then the
- 37:38Speaker 6: Cubs twice. Miami is not as good offensively as those
- 37:42Speaker 6: To those two teams, McDonald fewer than one hit all
- 37:46Speaker 6: out per inning, which is fine. His walk rate isn't
- 37:48Speaker 6: too bad. His strike out rate is okay, so his
- 37:51Speaker 6: overall numbers are still okay. He's a pretty extreme ground
- 37:55Speaker 6: ball pitcher too, although again sometimes that can mask other
- 37:58Speaker 6: problems like being David Peterson. McDonald has not been seen
- 38:04Speaker 6: before by Miami. You know, I actually tend to lean
- 38:07Speaker 6: more towards McDonald actually pitching well here because I think
- 38:11Speaker 6: he's still got okay stuff. He looked pretty good last year.
- 38:14Speaker 6: This is an easier pitching matchup for him. He's unfamiliar
- 38:18Speaker 6: to them, so that helps as well, and his overall
- 38:21Speaker 6: numbers are still not really that bad, so I actually
- 38:23Speaker 6: think he might pitch okay here. Max Meyer is pitching
- 38:26Speaker 6: for the Marlins. He's the better pitcher. Two point seven
- 38:29Speaker 6: to five VRRA, one point one two whip. He's been
- 38:32Speaker 6: really good at home one point nine to seven home
- 38:34Speaker 6: y RA. He is in good form currently as well,
- 38:38Speaker 6: a lot of strikeouts recently, fairly low hit rate, recently,
- 38:42Speaker 6: walk gray slightly high, but not too bad. He's allowed
- 38:45Speaker 6: two or fewer and runs, and all three starts this month,
- 38:48Speaker 6: his team has won all three of them. Face a
- 38:50Speaker 6: couple of decent offenses in there too, and Washington and Pittsburgh.
- 38:54Speaker 6: Washington not good at home, which is where that was,
- 38:57Speaker 6: though offensively not as.
- 38:59Speaker 5: Good at home.
- 39:00Speaker 6: Pittsburgh is really good offensively at home, and Meyers shut
- 39:04Speaker 6: them down. Meyer's got a high strike cut rate on
- 39:06Speaker 6: the season, really low hit rate. His walk rate is
- 39:09Speaker 6: a little bit too high though, so that's what you
- 39:12Speaker 6: get out of him. He is generally good, though against
- 39:15Speaker 6: San Francisco. Shockingly, this is not a good offense, but
- 39:18Speaker 6: he has not done well against them. Twenty one at bats.
- 39:21Speaker 6: They have a four to twenty nine average, one than
- 39:24Speaker 6: seventy four ohps against him. Yeah, I mean, on the surface,
- 39:28Speaker 6: this looks like an under game, but I would not
- 39:30Speaker 6: want to back Meyer right now here. He faced San
- 39:33Speaker 6: Francisco this year though, and he did well, so I
- 39:36Speaker 6: don't know where the hell those numbers are coming from.
- 39:39Speaker 6: He went five innings at San Francisco earlier this year,
- 39:41Speaker 6: allowed nowhere and runs, although his team lost the game
- 39:45Speaker 6: because the bullpen, I guess blew it. Five strikeouts, one walk,
- 39:49Speaker 6: four hits allowed. That was a fine outing from him,
- 39:51Speaker 6: So I don't know where those San Francisco numbers are
- 39:53Speaker 6: coming from. I think this does look like an under
- 39:57Speaker 6: game here if I was gonna play it. But I
- 39:59Speaker 6: do have my concern. You know, the matchup numbers there,
- 40:02Speaker 6: McDonald being out of form here.
- 40:04Speaker 5: The money's backing the over a bit fifty.
- 40:07Speaker 6: Six percent of tickets, seventy one percent of the cash
- 40:09Speaker 6: on the over totals between seven and a half and eight.
- 40:12Speaker 6: But yeah, I would still lean under, but I probably
- 40:15Speaker 6: would actually make this one. This one, I would make
- 40:17Speaker 6: a first five inning under because Miami used their entire
- 40:20Speaker 6: bullpen yesterday. I don't want to deal with that, and
- 40:23Speaker 6: I don't love San Francisco's bullpen either, So first five under,
- 40:27Speaker 6: I think is the way I would lean in this one.
- 40:29Speaker 6: Miami is also getting the money seventy five percent of tickets,
- 40:32Speaker 6: eighty eight percent of the cash on them. They are
- 40:34Speaker 6: minus one thirty something here. I agree that Meyer is
- 40:37Speaker 6: generally the better of the two pitchers here, the more
- 40:40Speaker 6: established picture, but I don't love the matchup stats, so
- 40:44Speaker 6: I don't know if I would.
- 40:45Speaker 5: I want to back Miami.
- 40:46Speaker 6: There parlay odds, Yeah, Lima is a flyweight. Yeah, these
- 40:55Speaker 6: these guys that don't weigh that much, you usually do
- 40:58Speaker 6: not get a knot like the chances of a knockout
- 41:01Speaker 6: or less in these lower weight classes. I know that
- 41:06Speaker 6: much at least.
- 41:08Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean I don't know.
- 41:10Speaker 6: I don't know what I'm doing in UFC, though, which
- 41:12Speaker 6: is why, which is why I don't do it.
- 41:14Speaker 5: Washington at Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay did get the win yesterday.
- 41:17Speaker 6: That was a no play here on the show yesterday
- 41:20Speaker 6: because I wanted Cavali. I you know, when I don't
- 41:25Speaker 6: specify it, like I said, you want to pick both
- 41:27Speaker 6: starters must start because they are a big part of
- 41:30Speaker 6: the handicap.
- 41:31Speaker 5: Usually that was one of those cases.
- 41:33Speaker 6: But Cavali got pushed back to today because of an illness,
- 41:36Speaker 6: so Tampa Bay wound up winning somewhat because they got
- 41:41Speaker 6: to face Micholas in the game instead.
- 41:43Speaker 5: I mean, there's no way I would have wanted to.
- 41:44Speaker 6: Back me Cholas, So that's a huge downgrade from Cavali,
- 41:48Speaker 6: even though Cavally is kind of mediocre. But maybe Washington
- 41:52Speaker 6: is backable in this game today. After Tampa did win yesterday,
- 41:56Speaker 6: Washington only used one guy out of the bullpen yesterday
- 42:00Speaker 6: Tampa Bay used four. Neither bullpen is good though. Tampa
- 42:04Speaker 6: Bay is eighteenth, but their ERA is pretty bad, like
- 42:07Speaker 6: a bottom several era. Washington is where are they at
- 42:12Speaker 6: twenty fourth in bullpen, they're still the worst of the
- 42:15Speaker 6: two bullpens, but not by match. Washington is the better offense,
- 42:19Speaker 6: the ranked fifth. They're also a really good road offense
- 42:21Speaker 6: this year, and the team has a good road record.
- 42:24Speaker 6: As I pointed out yesterday, Tampa Bay is seventeenth in offense.
- 42:28Speaker 5: They've kind of fallen off.
- 42:29Speaker 6: Cade Cavali will get the start today unless he's still sick.
- 42:34Speaker 5: He's got a.
- 42:34Speaker 6: Three point nine to eighty RA one point three to
- 42:36Speaker 6: nine WHIP, a little bit worse on the road four
- 42:39Speaker 6: point two eight road RA, but pretty similar to what
- 42:42Speaker 6: his overall ERA is. He's been okay in his recent
- 42:46Speaker 6: starts yere. He's been going like five innings in every
- 42:49Speaker 6: one of them, allowing three runs on average in every start,
- 42:52Speaker 6: so he's keeping his team in the game basically thirteen
- 42:55Speaker 6: to four strike got walk razer over that's man pretty mediocre,
- 42:58Speaker 6: but not horrible. He's got a bit of a high
- 43:01Speaker 6: hit rate on the season. His walk rates slightly high
- 43:04Speaker 6: as well, like his whip is too high. I get
- 43:07Speaker 6: that he has strikeout stuff, though his strikeout rate is good,
- 43:10Speaker 6: and he's not an extreme fly ball pitcher either, and
- 43:13Speaker 6: that kind of tells you he does have stuff that
- 43:15Speaker 6: can fool guys at the major league level. Like I
- 43:17Speaker 6: said yesterday, So you know, I think he's better than
- 43:21Speaker 6: people think, although you know, maybe I guess you could
- 43:26Speaker 6: argue maybe he's about as good as his ra suggests
- 43:30Speaker 6: against Tampa Bay. As I pointed out yesterday, Tampa Bay
- 43:32Speaker 6: is very unfamiliar with him. They only have one hitoff
- 43:35Speaker 6: and which is a double from Masa. Mason Mullens are
- 43:38Speaker 6: the only guys that have faced and they're combined one
- 43:40Speaker 6: for six Offen with three strikeouts and no walks.
- 43:44Speaker 5: So I think Cavally does match up okay here.
- 43:47Speaker 6: He's unfamiliar to them, the guys that have face them
- 43:50Speaker 6: haven't really done damage against him. He's a little bit
- 43:53Speaker 6: better than people might think, So I think Cavally has
- 43:56Speaker 6: a decent matchup here. Ian Seymour is getting these art
- 44:00Speaker 6: for Tampa, but he's basically an opener and he hasn't
- 44:03Speaker 6: really been that good. He's got a four point nine
- 44:05Speaker 6: to three ERA one point two eight whip not great stuff.
- 44:08Speaker 6: There has been good at home though, two point nine
- 44:11Speaker 6: to five home e ray, but he's been basically an
- 44:13Speaker 6: opener and a relief pitcher the most he's gone his
- 44:16Speaker 6: four innings in any of these appearances, and they're kind
- 44:19Speaker 6: of limiting his pitches a lot. They did ramp him
- 44:21Speaker 6: up a little bit last time out, but he also
- 44:23Speaker 6: didn't pitch well at Anaheim. I don't really think Seymour
- 44:27Speaker 6: is trustworthy, man. I mean, there's a reason why he's
- 44:30Speaker 6: a relief pitcher and sort of an opener whatever. Like
- 44:33Speaker 6: I know, Tampa went with a bullpen game with some
- 44:35Speaker 6: success yesterday, but you're asking him to now do it
- 44:38Speaker 6: twice in a row.
- 44:40Speaker 5: I don't know about that.
- 44:42Speaker 6: Seymour does have good numbers against Washington, though, one seventy
- 44:45Speaker 6: six average, a lot four to seventy one oh ps
- 44:47Speaker 6: seventeen at bats, not a huge sample here. Most of
- 44:51Speaker 6: their hitters have faced him at least once though, six
- 44:54Speaker 6: zero strikeout walk ratio. I'm gonna leave Washington here slightly,
- 45:00Speaker 6: maybe just in the first five, because I don't want
- 45:02Speaker 6: to deal with their bullpen. Sixty percent of the tickets
- 45:04Speaker 6: are on Tampa and around minus one twenty kind of looks
- 45:07Speaker 6: too easy to play Tampa, especially after they won yesterday.
- 45:10Speaker 6: People are gonna be jumping on Tampa because their record
- 45:13Speaker 6: is better. But like I said, Washington is sneakily a
- 45:16Speaker 6: good road team here, and this might be a sneaky
- 45:19Speaker 6: matchup where you do have the starting pitching edge here.
- 45:22Speaker 6: If Cavally is healthy, at least getting over an illness
- 45:25Speaker 6: is easier than getting over an injury.
- 45:27Speaker 5: Though.
- 45:28Speaker 6: Fifty to fifty on the cash, so the money is
- 45:30Speaker 6: indicating on Washington.
- 45:32Speaker 5: Washington first five makes some sense to me there.
- 45:35Speaker 6: That game on ESPN Unlimited Next game up is my
- 45:39Speaker 6: last baseball play. And I'm talking about the obvious. This
- 45:42Speaker 6: one might also be too obvious. This is Mets Philadelphia.
- 45:50Speaker 6: You know what this is? This is an under as well,
- 45:53Speaker 6: under seven and a half. You can get a better
- 45:54Speaker 6: price on this one. I think maybe because Peralta is
- 45:57Speaker 6: not getting enough respect maybe in the market, or maybe
- 46:00Speaker 6: he's getting the right amount of respect. I don't know,
- 46:03Speaker 6: but I think this is gonna be an under. I
- 46:04Speaker 6: think you're gonna get a pitching match up here. We'll
- 46:07Speaker 6: keep the bullpens in as well. Because again, like I
- 46:10Speaker 6: said yesterday, these teams were off yesterday apparently because of
- 46:13Speaker 6: the World Cup, So I think that gives us a
- 46:15Speaker 6: little bit of an extra edge playing the under here
- 46:18Speaker 6: because the offenses have a chance to cool off, the
- 46:21Speaker 6: bullpens have a chance to rest, so I think having
- 46:23Speaker 6: the day off helps the under a bit here. The
- 46:26Speaker 6: Mets also have a pretty good bullpen whip's looking at
- 46:28Speaker 6: the wrong screen. Mets are number two in bullpen Whip now,
- 46:32Speaker 6: although they're tied with the Red Sox and Miami here,
- 46:35Speaker 6: and their era is worse than the Red Sox and
- 46:38Speaker 6: better than Miami's, but whatever, the Mets are a good bullpen.
- 46:41Speaker 6: Philly is not bad at twelfth, so I think we
- 46:44Speaker 6: can roll with both bullpens.
- 46:45Speaker 5: Here, especially since they're rested.
- 46:47Speaker 6: And we're looking at two week offenses to Philadelphia twenty seventh,
- 46:51Speaker 6: although they are better at home, I know, and the
- 46:53Speaker 6: Mets are twenty ninth. They have not been a good
- 46:55Speaker 6: offense this year, so I think we're looking at some
- 46:58Speaker 6: offenses that have had some trouble this year. This game
- 47:01Speaker 6: is on Fox, by the way, because it is a
- 47:03Speaker 6: big divisional matchup and a lot sometimes focus also kind
- 47:07Speaker 6: of lends itself towards an under like this might be
- 47:09Speaker 6: the type of game where maybe the public wants to
- 47:12Speaker 6: try and over Maybe not given what these teams have
- 47:15Speaker 6: done this year, but and maybe not given that Sanchez
- 47:18Speaker 6: is one of the pitchers here.
- 47:19Speaker 5: But still.
- 47:23Speaker 6: I think that like a big divisional matchup like this
- 47:26Speaker 6: on national TV, a lot of times you see like
- 47:28Speaker 6: more focused, deepfense, more intense pitching, you know, so hopefully
- 47:32Speaker 6: that can happen here. Freddy perraulta pitching for the Mets.
- 47:34Speaker 6: He is the less the lesser of the two pitchers here,
- 47:38Speaker 6: but I think he's still pretty good.
- 47:39Speaker 5: Three point ninety ra.
- 47:40Speaker 6: His whip is a little concerning though, one point three
- 47:44Speaker 6: because his walk number is too high, which has been
- 47:47Speaker 6: the case throughout his career. But he's been good on
- 47:49Speaker 6: the road this year two point seven to nine ROADI
- 47:51Speaker 6: ra maybe he's just kind of struggling to adapt to
- 47:54Speaker 6: pitching for the Mets, so I don't know. Maybe that's
- 47:56Speaker 6: why his home numbers are worse. He was fine in
- 47:59Speaker 6: a last out. It was against Atlanta at home, so
- 48:02Speaker 6: that's a good sign. Atlanta's a good road offense, and
- 48:05Speaker 6: he held him to one run in five innings, so
- 48:07Speaker 6: that's a good sign. Although he didn't strike out a
- 48:09Speaker 6: lot of guys. But he's been al right this month,
- 48:12Speaker 6: except he gave up six runs to Saint Louis, but
- 48:14Speaker 6: that was a bit of an outlier, Like they got
- 48:16Speaker 6: six runs off him on six hits and that was
- 48:18Speaker 6: in a met return home spot, so that was kind
- 48:21Speaker 6: of a weird spot, a bad spot, and he got
- 48:24Speaker 6: unlucky in that pitching outing, I would say, because he
- 48:27Speaker 6: did have five strikeouts and two walks, so he is
- 48:29Speaker 6: still pitching fine in my opinion. Here, He's got a
- 48:33Speaker 6: pretty low hit rate on the season, his walk rate
- 48:35Speaker 6: is too high, like I mentioned, his strikeout rate is decent,
- 48:39Speaker 6: but overall these are still pretty decent numbers. I mean,
- 48:41Speaker 6: he's a solid pitcher and against Philly he's been solid
- 48:44Speaker 6: throughout his career. Eighty four at bats, he telled him
- 48:47Speaker 6: to a really low one to fifty five batting average
- 48:50Speaker 6: in that big of a sample, So this looks like
- 48:52Speaker 6: a decent matchup for him here. The fact that Philly
- 48:55Speaker 6: has seen a good amount of him and they still
- 48:57Speaker 6: haven't really been able to figure him out. Six sixty one,
- 48:59Speaker 6: oh yes, isn't too bad either. Thirty eight to thirteen
- 49:03Speaker 6: strike out walk ratio. Again, Yeah, the walk number a
- 49:06Speaker 6: little bit questionable, but not horrible there, So I think
- 49:09Speaker 6: Peralto could do okay. But also we're backing Sanchez here,
- 49:12Speaker 6: who I think is gonna do the heavy lifting for
- 49:15Speaker 6: this under here. Sanchez has been a cy Young caliber
- 49:18Speaker 6: pitcher here one point eight two ERA, one point zero
- 49:22Speaker 6: nine whip.
- 49:22Speaker 5: He's been ridiculously good.
- 49:24Speaker 6: At home point nine home ERA, so we're in the
- 49:27Speaker 6: better of both pitchers splits here. Sanchez did have a
- 49:30Speaker 6: bit of a hurdle in his last down. He had
- 49:34Speaker 6: to go to Milwaukee and he give up eight hits,
- 49:36Speaker 6: four and runs in five to two thirds innings.
- 49:39Speaker 5: I think it was an outlier though. I mean, you
- 49:41Speaker 5: see how well he's been pitching this year.
- 49:42Speaker 6: Milwaukee's a tough opponent to have to face, and he
- 49:45Speaker 6: got no run support in that one. Prior to that,
- 49:48Speaker 6: he'd allowed two or fewer e runs in every start,
- 49:52Speaker 6: well every He's allowed two or fewer on runs in
- 49:54Speaker 6: all but two starts this entire season. Both of those
- 49:57Speaker 6: bad starts are on the road against capable offense sins.
- 50:00Speaker 6: The other was early in the season against the Cubs.
- 50:02Speaker 6: He went the entire month of May without allowing a run,
- 50:06Speaker 6: so I mean, obviously you had to expect a little
- 50:08Speaker 6: bit of regression there, but his numbers are still really
- 50:11Speaker 6: really good. Low hit rate, really low walk rate, and
- 50:15Speaker 6: I think the walks have been kind of an issue
- 50:17Speaker 6: with him in the past, but he's gotten that really
- 50:19Speaker 6: under wraps. Has a high strikeout rate too, and a
- 50:22Speaker 6: high ground ball rate, so he's got like pretty elite
- 50:26Speaker 6: numbers here all over the place, and his numbers against
- 50:29Speaker 6: the Mets, as you would expect, are pretty good. In
- 50:31Speaker 6: sixty eight at bats to twenty one average, six to
- 50:33Speaker 6: sixty one ops, twenty three to seven strikeout walk ratio.
- 50:38Speaker 5: We will back the under in this game.
- 50:41Speaker 6: Let me see, we have eighty three percent of the tickets,
- 50:45Speaker 6: ninety three percent of the cash on the over. I
- 50:47Speaker 6: don't know what to tell you about that action Network
- 50:50Speaker 6: made it look like the money was backing both unders
- 50:53Speaker 6: in these two plays and giving out, So do with
- 50:56Speaker 6: all that what you want.
- 50:57Speaker 5: But obviously, again the total is also low for a reason.
- 50:59Speaker 6: The oddsmakers know. Everybody knows that this is a good
- 51:02Speaker 6: pitching matchup. Although again when it seems too obvious, I
- 51:05Speaker 6: do start worrying a little bit, but sometimes I will
- 51:08Speaker 6: play unders on these elite pitching matchups if we're getting
- 51:11Speaker 6: you know, the key number there and whatever, which we
- 51:14Speaker 6: are here, So that's what we're gonna do. The money
- 51:17Speaker 6: is also fading Philly here, and I think that helps
- 51:19Speaker 6: the case for the under because Philly obviously has the
- 51:23Speaker 6: better pitcher here Sanchez ninety five percent of tickets, ninety
- 51:27Speaker 6: three percent of the cash on Philly. They're an extremely
- 51:29Speaker 6: public side and they're laying like minus one eighty something here,
- 51:33Speaker 6: which is crazy. Uh So the money seems to be
- 51:36Speaker 6: indicating there's some value on the Mets, and I like again,
- 51:39Speaker 6: I like that as far as the case for the under,
- 51:41Speaker 6: because when the lesser pitcher seems to be getting the money,
- 51:45Speaker 6: that basically is indicating that the professional money basically thinks
- 51:49Speaker 6: that pitcher can.
- 51:49Speaker 5: Kind of hang in the game. I don't think it's
- 51:53Speaker 5: really a fade of the other picture.
- 51:54Speaker 6: I think it's a value play and somewhat of a
- 51:57Speaker 6: play on that other on that lesser picture to hang
- 52:00Speaker 6: in there. So I think that's what we're seeing there,
- 52:03Speaker 6: So under the play there. SOB you're on Ivory Coast,
- 52:11Speaker 6: I'm not sure about that. Yeah, I did not agree. Dude,
- 52:15Speaker 6: Paraguay is awful. I don't know what to tell you
- 52:17Speaker 6: about Turkey. I don't know why they've been so bad
- 52:20Speaker 6: in this tournament. I have no idea. I mean, I
- 52:25Speaker 6: would not bet Germany in that game. I'll say Germany
- 52:28Speaker 6: and whatever, Germany is the better team. But Germany just
- 52:32Speaker 6: played Curasau like that game is basically a throwaway game. Curasau,
- 52:37Speaker 6: I think is the worst team in the entire World Cup.
- 52:40Speaker 6: Like they're an island of like one hundred thousand people.
- 52:43Speaker 5: It's a joke. I don't even know how they're in
- 52:45Speaker 5: the World Cup and they're not even.
- 52:46Speaker 6: The lowest ranked team in the World Cup of the
- 52:49Speaker 6: odds basically telling you that's the worst team in the
- 52:51Speaker 6: World Cup.
- 52:52Speaker 5: Germany.
- 52:53Speaker 6: You do not want to play Germany after a seven
- 52:55Speaker 6: to one win. I will tell you that there's no
- 52:58Speaker 6: way that I would play Germany in that game. I
- 53:00Speaker 6: don't know if I would play the Ivory Coast, but
- 53:03Speaker 6: I'm not gonna play Germany.
- 53:04Speaker 5: I'll tell you that.
- 53:07Speaker 6: And I still don't think that Paraguay was a good
- 53:09Speaker 6: play yesterday. I'm sorry, I still don't think it was. Uh,
- 53:12Speaker 6: they absolutely blow ass and Turkey was coming off an
- 53:16Speaker 6: embarrassing result and that was like they need they needed
- 53:19Speaker 6: that game yesterday. Well both teams did, I know as
- 53:23Speaker 6: far as elimination.
- 53:24Speaker 5: But Turkey.
- 53:25Speaker 6: Oddsmakers are telling you Turkey is the better team there.
- 53:29Speaker 6: Paraguay is not good at all. The US is gonna
- 53:33Speaker 6: win that group easily at this point. The fact that
- 53:37Speaker 6: the team it's number two in that group is fucking Australia.
- 53:41Speaker 6: Right now, I'm pretty sure, like really Australia blows.
- 53:47Speaker 7: Uh.
- 53:47Speaker 6: The new World Cup is is BS, It's an it's
- 53:51Speaker 6: an expanded World Cup. Well the worst part about it
- 53:54Speaker 6: is is the way that Morocco got in. Yeah, take
- 53:59Speaker 6: a look at what how Morocco won the African cupp
- 54:03Speaker 6: or whatever the hell it is to get into this thing.
- 54:06Speaker 6: Watch what happened. They didn't even win that match and
- 54:09Speaker 6: they still won. They lost to Senegal. So what I'm
- 54:13Speaker 6: hoping for is that they have to face Senegal at
- 54:16Speaker 6: some point in this World Cup because I will I
- 54:19Speaker 6: will tell you to play Senegal in that one. It
- 54:21Speaker 6: would be a massive revenge play.
- 54:24Speaker 5: Macado. You must be joking on Iran, right.
- 54:28Speaker 6: Iran is in a very difficult they're not a good team,
- 54:30Speaker 6: but they're also in a very difficult spot because they're
- 54:33Speaker 6: banned from being in the US. They're only allowed to
- 54:36Speaker 6: be in the US on match days, specifically to play
- 54:39Speaker 6: their matches and their fans. I don't think their fans
- 54:42Speaker 6: are allowed into the country. So it's all some bs.
- 54:46Speaker 6: It's all, you know, Israel war bs. I don't want
- 54:51Speaker 6: to get this channel nuked or whatever, but I'm not
- 54:53Speaker 6: monetized yet, so hopefully I can fly under the radar there.
- 54:56Speaker 6: But it's all military bs. But on is having to dude.
- 55:01Speaker 6: Iran has to stay in Mexico and then continuously travel
- 55:05Speaker 6: to the US whenever they have a match day, and
- 55:07Speaker 6: they're gonna be doing it with like no fans in
- 55:09Speaker 6: the crowd, and obviously the US crowd is gonna be
- 55:12Speaker 6: rooting against them, even though I thought the whole point
- 55:15Speaker 6: of the war was to save the Iranian people. So
- 55:18Speaker 6: shouldn't that mean you should be supporting their soccer team.
- 55:22Speaker 6: I don't know, but I would not want to play
- 55:24Speaker 6: on Iran at all during this tournament unless there's like
- 55:27Speaker 6: a really really good situation to do so, which I doubt.
- 55:31Speaker 6: All Right, this show is taking way too long and
- 55:34Speaker 6: I have to get out of here at some point.
- 55:36Speaker 6: How many games we have left I'm gonna do. Yeah,
- 55:39Speaker 6: we're basically on track here. I mean basically all these
- 55:44Speaker 6: countries that have totally different diets and then they come
- 55:48Speaker 6: to the US and eat all this like slop and whatever,
- 55:51Speaker 6: they're going to have diarrhea. Probably all right, we have
- 55:56Speaker 6: Cleveland and Houston, which is the other game on Fox.
- 55:58Speaker 6: Which of these games do you think people are gonna watch?
- 56:00Speaker 6: Mets Philadelphia or Cleveland Houston. I know the Mets have
- 56:03Speaker 6: been asked this year, but obviously the Mets in Philadelphia
- 56:06Speaker 6: are the big draw there. Those are huge markets. Cleveland
- 56:09Speaker 6: and Houston, nobody's gonna watch this. I mean, Cleveland's offense
- 56:13Speaker 6: is miserable right now. They have way too many injuries.
- 56:17Speaker 6: Houston won the game nine to three yesterday. That was
- 56:19Speaker 6: a pretty unpredictable game for me as far as the
- 56:22Speaker 6: way that I was looking at it. Houston only used
- 56:24Speaker 6: one guy out of the bullpen, so their bullpen is
- 56:27Speaker 6: pretty rested here. Cleveland used four guys out of the bullpen.
- 56:31Speaker 6: Cleveland does generally have the better bullpen. They're number fourteen.
- 56:34Speaker 6: Houston is up to number twenty one, and they have
- 56:36Speaker 6: been performing better recently, so I think there's not a
- 56:40Speaker 6: huge gap between these two bullpens here. I think Cleveland
- 56:44Speaker 6: does still have the advantage there, but not by much.
- 56:47Speaker 6: Houston has the better offense. Their ranked tenth, Cleveland is
- 56:50Speaker 6: twenty eighth, and it's an even worse scenario with those
- 56:55Speaker 6: with those injuries they have, and it's even worse because
- 56:58Speaker 6: they have Joey Cantillo bitching, who is not the guy
- 57:01Speaker 6: you want on them out and by be didn't dwell yesterday.
- 57:04Speaker 6: Cantio four point three eighty RA, but a one point
- 57:07Speaker 6: four to nine whip is pretty ugly. He's also not
- 57:10Speaker 6: good on the road four point nine to three Roadie
- 57:13Speaker 6: Ray pitch well on his last start, but it was
- 57:15Speaker 6: against Detroit at home. Good match up for him, probably
- 57:19Speaker 6: against a weak offense. Not a good sign that he
- 57:22Speaker 6: got blasted in Texas in.
- 57:24Speaker 5: The previous game.
- 57:26Speaker 6: If you pitch bad in Texas, there's something wrong with you.
- 57:29Speaker 6: I'll just put it that way. Cantillo overall, his hit
- 57:33Speaker 6: rate is are right, walk rate is too high, strike
- 57:35Speaker 6: out rate is okay, but the walks are the real
- 57:39Speaker 6: issue with him. He also doesn't have good numbers against Houston,
- 57:42Speaker 6: but it's a small eighteen at bat sample size. They
- 57:45Speaker 6: have a three eighty nine average against him though in
- 57:47Speaker 6: ten ten ops eight three strike out walk ratio. I
- 57:51Speaker 6: would not try to back Cantillo here. He's going up
- 57:54Speaker 6: against Spencer Arraghetti, who has been good, but he is
- 57:57Speaker 6: starting to regress a bit, and I told you his
- 57:59Speaker 6: numbers were just unsustainably good. I think he's a decent pitcher,
- 58:03Speaker 6: but he's not as good as his numbers looked. Two
- 58:06Speaker 6: point five to seven ERA is still I think misleading.
- 58:10Speaker 6: His one point two two whip is still al right,
- 58:12Speaker 6: but he's probably the guy that should have like a
- 58:14Speaker 6: three something ERA, which is still good. He's got a
- 58:17Speaker 6: two point two to two home ERA, so that's good.
- 58:20Speaker 6: His command numbers have still been pretty on point here
- 58:23Speaker 6: seventeen to six strike up walk ratio.
- 58:25Speaker 5: This month.
- 58:25Speaker 6: He's allowed some more runs this month and he's been
- 58:28Speaker 6: a little bit too hittable, but he's still not pitching
- 58:30Speaker 6: too badly, even though the runs have kind of regressed
- 58:34Speaker 6: a bit. He's allowed very few hits on the season.
- 58:36Speaker 6: Walk rate is too high, though the walks are the
- 58:38Speaker 6: main concern with him and his strike out rate.
- 58:41Speaker 5: Is alright, but with him yet, it's the control issues
- 58:44Speaker 5: with him.
- 58:46Speaker 6: I think he draws a decent matchup here, though, get
- 58:48Speaker 6: some really weak offense that has too many injuries right now.
- 58:51Speaker 6: Those injuries are factored into these numbers here. The guys
- 58:54Speaker 6: that are available for Cleveland have nineteen at bats against
- 58:57Speaker 6: him two to eleven, average, six sixty three oh P,
- 59:00Speaker 6: six to six strike up walk ratio. The only thing
- 59:03Speaker 6: bad about those numbers. Of those strike up walk ratio
- 59:05Speaker 6: numbers there, only Brian Rocchio has an extra base hit
- 59:10Speaker 6: against him, a double, so the Italian on Italian crime there.
- 59:17Speaker 6: I think rag Getty does set up to do okay here,
- 59:19Speaker 6: though I would lean Houston maybe in the first five
- 59:22Speaker 6: still though, because I still don't trust their bullpen. Really,
- 59:25Speaker 6: Houston first five makes the most sense to me here.
- 59:28Speaker 6: I don't know what the price is gonna be on it.
- 59:30Speaker 6: Though Houston's minus won forty on the full game, it's
- 59:33Speaker 6: probably gonna be a higher price than that on the
- 59:35Speaker 6: first five, So Houston minus a half run in the
- 59:38Speaker 6: first five might be the way to look at this.
- 59:40Speaker 6: You'll need them to be winning after five, but I
- 59:42Speaker 6: think they're certainly capable of doing that. Eighty one percent
- 59:46Speaker 6: of the tickets, ninety three percent of the cash on Houston,
- 59:48Speaker 6: so the money seems like it agrees. Money is also
- 59:51Speaker 6: on the over here at eight and a half. I
- 59:54Speaker 6: don't have a great feel for that. I mean, I
- 59:57Speaker 6: suppose you could also look Houston over their tea total.
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: Maybe here.
- 1:00:02Speaker 6: If you know Houston and the overall both getting the money,
- 1:00:04Speaker 6: you expect Houston to put up some runs here.
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: That makes some sense in that game. But I think
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: Houston first five makes the most sense.
- 1:00:12Speaker 6: I'll be right back. I'll talk about the rest of
- 1:00:14Speaker 6: these games. Talk about w NBA, where I have won
- 1:00:17Speaker 6: somewhat strong opinion, but it has not made my card.
- 1:00:20Speaker 6: And I am going to give out a World Cup
- 1:00:22Speaker 6: play that is not the same as SOBS play. Oh right,
- 1:00:27Speaker 6: diarrhea because they're in Yeah, because they're in Mexico.
- 1:00:29Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. I don't know how that went over
- 1:00:32Speaker 5: my head, but yeah, I.
- 1:00:33Speaker 6: Was just thinking the stomach issues from eating in America.
- 1:00:37Speaker 6: But yeah, you're right. What did I just say, they're
- 1:00:39Speaker 6: staying in Mexico. Honestly, the food is probably healthier in Mexico.
- 1:00:44Speaker 6: They probably have less of the slot that we have
- 1:00:46Speaker 6: in America.
- 1:00:47Speaker 7: All right, I'll be right backstatts assassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssh.
- 1:02:00Speaker 5: All right.
- 1:02:02Speaker 6: Oh, this thing keeps refreshing, so it goes haywire. Anyway,
- 1:02:06Speaker 6: Pittsburgh got Colorado Colorado I think one yesterday. Yeah, they
- 1:02:10Speaker 6: won four to three yesterday. Uh, lower scoring game than
- 1:02:14Speaker 6: I would have expected. In that one, Colorado used two
- 1:02:17Speaker 6: guys out of the bullpen. Their bullpen is ass though
- 1:02:20Speaker 6: Pittsburgh used two as well. We have rested bullpens, but
- 1:02:23Speaker 6: I don't trust these bullpens. Pittsburgh number twenty two, Colorado
- 1:02:27Speaker 6: number twenty seven. Colorado is second worst in ERA only
- 1:02:31Speaker 6: behind Minnesota. Both offenses have been fairly capable. Pittsburgh fourth,
- 1:02:36Speaker 6: Colorado eleventh of low. I don't think Colorado is as
- 1:02:39Speaker 6: good as that, but they're at home where they hit
- 1:02:41Speaker 6: a little bit better. However, they're gonna have to try
- 1:02:43Speaker 6: to put up offense against.
- 1:02:45Speaker 5: Paul Skans in this one.
- 1:02:47Speaker 6: Schemes two point eight five ERA point nine to three whip.
- 1:02:51Speaker 6: He's been a little bit worse on the road three
- 1:02:53Speaker 6: point two to six. Roady Ray, I'm not too concerned.
- 1:02:56Speaker 6: With him pitching in this stadium or anything. Though, he's
- 1:02:58Speaker 6: been pretty good this month, twenty four to four strikeout
- 1:03:01Speaker 6: walk ratio in sixteen to two thirds innings. He's allowed
- 1:03:05Speaker 6: two or fewer on runs and all three outings. He
- 1:03:07Speaker 6: had one short outing where he was really inefficient against Houston.
- 1:03:11Speaker 5: I don't know what that was. That was his last
- 1:03:12Speaker 5: road start. Actually, he was struggling a little bit for
- 1:03:16Speaker 5: a span of like four starts.
- 1:03:19Speaker 6: Excuse me, but I don't know, man. I mean, he's
- 1:03:22Speaker 6: back in form right now. His last two starts were good.
- 1:03:25Speaker 6: One of them was against the Dodgers. I think he's back.
- 1:03:28Speaker 5: He Skins. We know all this.
- 1:03:30Speaker 6: He's got a low hit rate, pretty low, he's got
- 1:03:32Speaker 6: a low walk rate, too high strikeout rate.
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: Whatever. We know he's good. He is slightly more of
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: a fly ball pitcher.
- 1:03:38Speaker 6: But you know, I mean, I still don't think Skeens
- 1:03:40Speaker 6: is gonna pitch poorly here. He also dominates Colorado typically
- 1:03:45Speaker 6: in forty six at bats, seventeen strikeouts, one walk, one
- 1:03:49Speaker 6: thirty average, three sixty six ops. So yeah, I would
- 1:03:54Speaker 6: think that Skeens should pitch pretty well here. Tomoyuki Sugano
- 1:03:58Speaker 6: is pitching for the Colorados side.
- 1:04:00Speaker 5: He's not great four point five four ERA one point
- 1:04:03Speaker 5: three to four whip.
- 1:04:05Speaker 6: He's slightly worse at home, but not really that much
- 1:04:08Speaker 6: worse four point six y five home he ra Even
- 1:04:11Speaker 6: though he's kind of a he is a fly ball pitcher.
- 1:04:13Speaker 6: He's yeah, more than kind of. He's definitely a fly
- 1:04:15Speaker 6: ball pitcher. The home runs haven't been a huge issue
- 1:04:19Speaker 6: for him this year though. Though he's allowed double digit
- 1:04:22Speaker 6: home runs, he's not the worst home run allowing pitcher here.
- 1:04:26Speaker 6: And he's actually pitched okay recently. Though his last started
- 1:04:30Speaker 6: to give up six or in runs. But it was
- 1:04:32Speaker 6: at the A's Stadium in that ridiculous twenty three to
- 1:04:35Speaker 6: nine game. He won the game because he got so
- 1:04:38Speaker 6: much run support behind him. But that was a weird
- 1:04:41Speaker 6: outlier of a game, you know, in that A's stadium.
- 1:04:45Speaker 5: It is what it is.
- 1:04:47Speaker 6: Sugano has actually been better than you would expect this year.
- 1:04:50Speaker 6: He's nothing spectacular, he doesn't strike anybody out. He's got
- 1:04:53Speaker 6: kind of a high hit rate, his walk rate is fine.
- 1:04:56Speaker 6: Whatever the numbers against Pittsburgh, they only have two guys
- 1:04:59Speaker 6: who have faced him three point thirty three average eleven
- 1:05:02Speaker 6: sixty seven ohps, it's just a two for six clip.
- 1:05:06Speaker 6: All of the hits have come from Brandon Lowe, who
- 1:05:08Speaker 6: does have a home run off him and the only
- 1:05:11Speaker 6: strikeout against him, and there are no walks in there.
- 1:05:13Speaker 6: But Sugano is mostly unfamiliar to Pittsburgh here. I mean,
- 1:05:18Speaker 6: do we really think about like potentially an under in
- 1:05:21Speaker 6: this game, maybe a first five under. I mean, the
- 1:05:25Speaker 6: total is a Colorado total, it's ten and a half.
- 1:05:29Speaker 6: Money is hitting the over a little bit, fifty eight
- 1:05:31Speaker 6: percent of tickets on the under, fifty seven percent of
- 1:05:33Speaker 6: the cash on the over.
- 1:05:36Speaker 5: I think this could be a first five under here.
- 1:05:39Speaker 6: Maybe you know you're getting the Colorado total here. It
- 1:05:44Speaker 6: always skews that total as far as the side. You're
- 1:05:48Speaker 6: paying too much of a price for Pittsburgh. I mean,
- 1:05:50Speaker 6: that's just the way that it is. They make you
- 1:05:52Speaker 6: pay for schemes. Eighty eight percent of tickets, seventy five
- 1:05:55Speaker 6: percent of the cash on Pittsburgh. They're minus two ten
- 1:05:59Speaker 6: basically here.
- 1:06:00Speaker 5: I wouldn't you. I don't think you could lay a
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: Pittsburgh money line here.
- 1:06:03Speaker 6: Even if they should win this game, should bounce back
- 1:06:07Speaker 6: from yesterday, Pittsburgh is the better team, obviously, they got
- 1:06:11Speaker 6: the matchup edge here. But I don't know, man, there
- 1:06:14Speaker 6: might be other ways of playing this, maybe a Colorado
- 1:06:17Speaker 6: under team total in the first five or something, if
- 1:06:21Speaker 6: you have a book that allows that, or that has
- 1:06:23Speaker 6: that as an option, something like that. Maybe, I don't know.
- 1:06:27Speaker 6: I don't want to do anything with that game though.
- 1:06:31Speaker 6: Mexico's water. Yeah, they probably are all poppy sloppy. Yeah,
- 1:06:36Speaker 6: they probably have a lot of they have illnesses from that. Darryl,
- 1:06:40Speaker 6: what's up man? You like the Rockies over all right?
- 1:06:45Speaker 6: I just kind of made a case against that, although
- 1:06:47Speaker 6: if you go over, you mean the full game over
- 1:06:50Speaker 6: Rockies Pirates. If you go over in that game, you
- 1:06:53Speaker 6: gotta go full game with that take advantage of the
- 1:06:55Speaker 6: bullpens because the bullpen's blow. So that would be the
- 1:06:58Speaker 6: only way that I would think about playing the over
- 1:07:01Speaker 6: there and Astro's first five. Yes, I did talk about that, correct,
- 1:07:09Speaker 6: So you agree with that?
- 1:07:10Speaker 4: All right?
- 1:07:10Speaker 5: I like that margin for era.
- 1:07:16Speaker 6: Yeah, that's how we pronounced it in Boston, margin for
- 1:07:20Speaker 6: error with with my money? What do you I don't
- 1:07:22Speaker 6: know what you mean exactly. Oh, you mean like if
- 1:07:24Speaker 6: you're playing, if you're trying to play Pittsburgh there. I
- 1:07:27Speaker 6: don't know, uh Anaheim at the A's we got the
- 1:07:30Speaker 6: over right in this game last night easily, with twenty
- 1:07:33Speaker 6: three runs scored in the game, twenty two of them
- 1:07:35Speaker 6: in the first nine innings. So we had that pinch
- 1:07:39Speaker 6: hit home run there to tie the game, I think
- 1:07:43Speaker 6: in the ninth, and then we had the walk off
- 1:07:45Speaker 6: walk I believe is what it was you guys were
- 1:07:47Speaker 6: telling me.
- 1:07:48Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 1:07:48Speaker 6: I didn't see how the game ended. I was only
- 1:07:51Speaker 6: concerned about the total, so I stopped paying attention, even
- 1:07:55Speaker 6: though I guess it was a dramatic finish. The A's
- 1:07:57Speaker 6: bull excuse me, the athletics bullpen us guys out of
- 1:08:00Speaker 6: the bullpen. Neither of these bullpens are good. Anaheim used
- 1:08:04Speaker 6: a bunch, they used five. I would fade both bullpens
- 1:08:08Speaker 6: again here if I was gonna do anything related to
- 1:08:10Speaker 6: the bullpens. A's are number twenty three, Angels twenty six.
- 1:08:14Speaker 6: Not good bullpens.
- 1:08:15Speaker 5: Here.
- 1:08:15Speaker 6: A's are number three in offense. They're good offense. They're
- 1:08:18Speaker 6: at home where it's a very offensive ballpark.
- 1:08:21Speaker 5: It offends me.
- 1:08:22Speaker 6: In fact, number sixteen is where the Angels are offensively.
- 1:08:27Speaker 5: This pitching matchup, though, the starting pitching.
- 1:08:31Speaker 6: You know, it might not be that bad. Walbert Urray,
- 1:08:35Speaker 6: you know, pitching for the Angels. I actually think he's
- 1:08:37Speaker 6: not that bad, but he's gotta get his walk number down.
- 1:08:39Speaker 6: He's got a two point six ERA, which is misleading.
- 1:08:42Speaker 6: He's not that good because he does have a one
- 1:08:44Speaker 6: point three to five whip which is too high. But
- 1:08:46Speaker 6: he's not a bad pitcher, and people still don't know
- 1:08:49Speaker 6: who he is because he's young.
- 1:08:50Speaker 5: And again, I think if.
- 1:08:51Speaker 6: He gets his walks under control, he's gonna be a
- 1:08:54Speaker 6: pretty good pitcher. He's only twenty two right now. He's
- 1:08:57Speaker 6: got a three point eight six Roady Ray, though he's
- 1:09:00Speaker 6: not as good on the road. Pitching in this A's
- 1:09:03Speaker 6: stadium could be an issue, but I don't know, man.
- 1:09:07Speaker 5: I mean, his issue just continues to be the walks.
- 1:09:09Speaker 6: He's difficult to hit, but he's issuing way too many
- 1:09:11Speaker 6: walks all over the place. He's got a really low
- 1:09:14Speaker 6: hit rate, his walk rate is way too high, and
- 1:09:16Speaker 6: his strikeout rate is decent. But one thing of note
- 1:09:19Speaker 6: when he's pitching in this A's stadium here is that
- 1:09:21Speaker 6: he does have more ground ball outs than fly ball outs,
- 1:09:24Speaker 6: so he doesn't allow many fly balls, hasn't allowed many
- 1:09:26Speaker 6: home runs, so that might help him out in this stadium,
- 1:09:29Speaker 6: you know what I mean. Like his style of pitching
- 1:09:32Speaker 6: is more suitable to a stadium like this because he
- 1:09:34Speaker 6: doesn't allow that many fly balls, so that does help him.
- 1:09:38Speaker 6: His numbers are good against the A's generally, and eighteen
- 1:09:41Speaker 6: at bats very small sample though too. Twenty two average
- 1:09:44Speaker 6: allowed five to seventy eight ohps, three to two strike
- 1:09:47Speaker 6: out walk ratio. The only extra base hit is from
- 1:09:51Speaker 6: Nick Kertz, our favorite guy there. I think Urania might
- 1:09:55Speaker 6: actually pitch well here. He is going to be opposed
- 1:09:58Speaker 6: by JT. Gin for the a who was having a
- 1:10:01Speaker 6: good season. Two point nine to one array one point
- 1:10:04Speaker 6: one six whip. Gin is not as good in this stadium.
- 1:10:07Speaker 6: I mean, that's obviously expected. Three point nine to three
- 1:10:10Speaker 6: homie array. That's still not even bad though, and Gin
- 1:10:13Speaker 6: is another guy who does not allow many fly balls.
- 1:10:16Speaker 6: He's pretty even between ground balls and fly balls. Hasn't
- 1:10:20Speaker 6: allowed a lot of home runs, so Gin is more
- 1:10:22Speaker 6: well suited for this ballpark, which is good for the A's.
- 1:10:26Speaker 6: He's been pretty good over the last mostly most of
- 1:10:31Speaker 6: the last month or so. He's in good He's had
- 1:10:32Speaker 6: two bad starts in there. One was at home here
- 1:10:36Speaker 6: against Milwaukee. The other was at home against Cleveland, which
- 1:10:39Speaker 6: is more damning. But he pitched well here last time out.
- 1:10:43Speaker 6: He gave up nowhere in runs at six innings against Pittsburgh.
- 1:10:46Speaker 5: In this stadium last time out.
- 1:10:48Speaker 6: That's a good sign that he's doing that against a
- 1:10:50Speaker 6: pretty good offense. Pitch well on the road against the
- 1:10:53Speaker 6: Cubs in one of his other starts, pitch well in
- 1:10:55Speaker 6: this stadium against the Yankees not too long ago. That's
- 1:10:58Speaker 6: a good sign as well another offense there. He's allowed
- 1:11:01Speaker 6: very few hits.
- 1:11:02Speaker 5: On the season.
- 1:11:03Speaker 6: His walk rate is too high though his strikeout rate
- 1:11:06Speaker 6: is a bit low, but he's not really strike up pitcher.
- 1:11:09Speaker 6: But again, overall the way the style of pitching that
- 1:11:12Speaker 6: we get here in the starting pitching matchup. Also, we
- 1:11:15Speaker 6: do have to look at Ginn's matchup numbers. Hold on,
- 1:11:17Speaker 6: I did look at them earlier. Yeah, his matchup numbers
- 1:11:20Speaker 6: against Anaheim are good and thirty one at bats, nine strikeouts,
- 1:11:23Speaker 6: no walks, one ninety four average six thirteen ops. Allowed
- 1:11:28Speaker 6: a couple of home runs in there from Nido and
- 1:11:31Speaker 6: Sean Well Shanual, How the hell do you pronounce that
- 1:11:35Speaker 6: guy's name? I don't even know who that is, whatever,
- 1:11:39Speaker 6: but I think this game does kind of look like
- 1:11:41Speaker 6: a first five under to me here. I don't want
- 1:11:44Speaker 6: to risk it, but that's kind of the way that
- 1:11:46Speaker 6: I feel about this game.
- 1:11:48Speaker 5: It's it's my intuition. Man.
- 1:11:51Speaker 6: The money is backing the over in the full game.
- 1:11:53Speaker 6: The game's nine and a half total. I mean, you know,
- 1:11:56Speaker 6: it's it's an A's home game, so you know the
- 1:11:58Speaker 6: total is gonna be high if you're gonna go over.
- 1:12:00Speaker 6: Obviously you got to go full game and take advantage
- 1:12:02Speaker 6: of these crap bullpens here fifty percent of the tickets
- 1:12:05Speaker 6: eighty percent of the cash on the over. But I
- 1:12:07Speaker 6: think a first five under makes sense in this game.
- 1:12:12Speaker 6: And also the money is backing Anaheim here, so I
- 1:12:15Speaker 6: would whatever you do in this game, I would want
- 1:12:17Speaker 6: to either fade or avoid the bullpens though, because they
- 1:12:19Speaker 6: suck eighty one percent of the tickets fifty eight percent
- 1:12:22Speaker 6: of the cash on the A's who are around minus
- 1:12:26Speaker 6: one seventy on the price, which is yeah. I mean,
- 1:12:28Speaker 6: I think what the professional money here seems to be
- 1:12:31Speaker 6: saying is like, yeah, the A's should not be this
- 1:12:34Speaker 6: heavy of a favor going up against a capable pitcher
- 1:12:38Speaker 6: like Urania, who's just totally under the radar here. So
- 1:12:41Speaker 6: I don't really disagree with that, but I think a
- 1:12:43Speaker 6: first five under is what makes the most sense there.
- 1:12:49Speaker 6: Kurtz was the guy that drew the walk to win
- 1:12:51Speaker 6: the game. I mean grand slam. It's any single at bad,
- 1:12:57Speaker 6: it's highly unlikely it's gonna result in a home run.
- 1:13:00Speaker 6: Like I used to make like side bets, like going
- 1:13:03Speaker 6: to the ball but going to Fenway with friends and whatever, like,
- 1:13:06Speaker 6: people know that I bet and they'd always like just
- 1:13:08Speaker 6: it would be some random at bat and they just
- 1:13:10Speaker 6: be like, hey, I bet you're like ten bucks, this
- 1:13:12Speaker 6: guy's gonna hit a home run. I'd be like, okay,
- 1:13:15Speaker 6: I'll take your bet, and then they never hit a
- 1:13:16Speaker 6: home run. So I just clean up, like you're giving
- 1:13:18Speaker 6: me even odds on that when it's like a what
- 1:13:21Speaker 6: is it? It's probably like a seven percent chance this
- 1:13:24Speaker 6: at bad is gonna result in a home run.
- 1:13:27Speaker 5: People don't get it, man. People.
- 1:13:29Speaker 6: That's why home run props are not something that you
- 1:13:31Speaker 6: should do ever, because you never get good enough odds
- 1:13:34Speaker 6: on it.
- 1:13:34Speaker 5: Everybody loves rooting for a guy.
- 1:13:36Speaker 6: To hit a home run, but it doesn't happen anywhere
- 1:13:39Speaker 6: near enough to justify the price. Nancy, what's up? Thanks
- 1:13:44Speaker 6: for hanging out. Yeah, yes, my June teenth was excellent. Yes,
- 1:13:48Speaker 6: I had fried chicken, you know, watermelon stuff like that. No,
- 1:13:53Speaker 6: actually I did have chicken, but it was grilled.
- 1:13:56Speaker 5: Yesterday.
- 1:13:56Speaker 6: You saw basically all the food I ate yesterday was
- 1:13:59Speaker 6: in my reviews that I put on on Twitter. Yesterday,
- 1:14:03Speaker 6: I tried the new Taco Bell Street schaloopas. They're actually
- 1:14:07Speaker 6: not bad. I expected them to not be that bad, though,
- 1:14:10Speaker 6: I kind of I have a good gauge on Taco Bell.
- 1:14:13Speaker 5: They have so many new items they roll.
- 1:14:14Speaker 6: Out, but basically, if it doesn't involve fried chicken, it's
- 1:14:17Speaker 6: probably gonna be good, And if it does involve fried chicken,
- 1:14:20Speaker 6: it won't be that good. That's pretty much the general
- 1:14:22Speaker 6: rule with Taco Bell. But those new Street schaloopahs are
- 1:14:26Speaker 6: all right. They're not the best, but they're all right.
- 1:14:28Speaker 6: And then I had the McDonald's deep fried apple pie
- 1:14:31Speaker 6: that made a comeback. Presumably it was bet or back
- 1:14:35Speaker 6: in the sixties or whatever when they were using beef
- 1:14:37Speaker 6: tallow but it was still pretty enjoyable. I will tell
- 1:14:40Speaker 6: you that I really liked it all right, even though
- 1:14:44Speaker 6: I destroyed my mouth when I first been into it.
- 1:14:47Speaker 5: But that's just part of the experience. Red Sox at Seattle.
- 1:14:50Speaker 6: The Red Sox won the game yesterday despite having to
- 1:14:53Speaker 6: travel cross country for it. I don't know how they
- 1:14:56Speaker 6: did it, but they won. Royer Suarez had a no
- 1:14:59Speaker 6: hitter like the seventh inning in the game, so he
- 1:15:01Speaker 6: pitched really well. Red Sox used three relief pitchers yesterday,
- 1:15:06Speaker 6: did not use Chapman because it was no longer a
- 1:15:08Speaker 6: save situation. Seattle, though, saved their entire bullpen because what
- 1:15:12Speaker 6: they did yesterday is they brought in Luis Castillo just
- 1:15:15Speaker 6: to eat up innings towards the end of the game
- 1:15:17Speaker 6: there because the Red Sox I think we're winning five
- 1:15:20Speaker 6: to nothing or whatever it was at that point. So
- 1:15:23Speaker 6: Seattle saved their whole bullpen yesterday. Red Sox have a
- 1:15:26Speaker 6: good bullpen. They're number three. Seattle is also good, although
- 1:15:29Speaker 6: the rank fifteenth, but the era is better than that,
- 1:15:32Speaker 6: so we have two pretty good bullpens here, although the
- 1:15:35Speaker 6: Red Sox slightly better but less rested here. Red Sox
- 1:15:39Speaker 6: have a terrible offense twenty fifth. They just have not
- 1:15:41Speaker 6: gotten it going, although they put up enough yesterday to win.
- 1:15:45Speaker 6: By the way, the Red Sox, when they fall behind,
- 1:15:48Speaker 6: they're like historically bad. The Red Sox are own thirty
- 1:15:52Speaker 6: nine or they might be owned forty now. When they
- 1:15:55Speaker 6: fall behind by three runs in a game this year,
- 1:15:59Speaker 6: that's like unheard of. And I think they're one thirty
- 1:16:02Speaker 6: three or something when they fall behind by two or
- 1:16:05Speaker 6: more runs. So they've only overcome a two run deficit
- 1:16:09Speaker 6: once this entire season.
- 1:16:11Speaker 5: It's ridiculous.
- 1:16:12Speaker 6: So like, if the Red Sox are gonna win the game,
- 1:16:14Speaker 6: they need to be winning basically the whole game for
- 1:16:17Speaker 6: them to win it, which is ridiculous.
- 1:16:21Speaker 5: Nobody really celebrates. I don't know.
- 1:16:22Speaker 6: I heard some celebration going on around one am last night.
- 1:16:27Speaker 6: I tweeted about it. I'm pretty sure it was gunshots
- 1:16:30Speaker 6: somewhere out there. Mister Pinsey, what's up, dirty sock?
- 1:16:33Speaker 5: What's up?
- 1:16:34Speaker 6: Thanks for hanging out. I gotta get through the rest
- 1:16:36Speaker 6: of this, man, because I gotta get out of here.
- 1:16:37Speaker 6: At some point in the near future. We have Red
- 1:16:42Speaker 6: Sox Seattle, is what I'm talking about. All right, Yeah,
- 1:16:44Speaker 6: I'm almost well. I have to talk about the sturdy
- 1:16:46Speaker 6: pitchers here. Connolly Early is pitching for the Red Sox.
- 1:16:50Speaker 6: His whip has gotten a bit too high here. He's
- 1:16:52Speaker 6: got a three point eight one ERA. He's a decent
- 1:16:55Speaker 6: young pitcher, but he's starting to kind of pitch Worris here.
- 1:16:58Speaker 5: His whip one point three to two.
- 1:17:01Speaker 6: That's not good. He's got to do something about that.
- 1:17:03Speaker 6: He is good on the road though, two point eight
- 1:17:05Speaker 6: two Roady a Ray. His last start, which was easily
- 1:17:08Speaker 6: the worst start of his career, was at home, but
- 1:17:11Speaker 6: it is pretty damning because it was against Texas, so
- 1:17:14Speaker 6: that is not a good sign. Texas not a good offense,
- 1:17:16Speaker 6: although they are better on the road, but that was
- 1:17:19Speaker 6: a horrible start from early. He's failed to make it
- 1:17:22Speaker 6: five innings his last two starts. He's gotten blown up
- 1:17:25Speaker 6: this month, so he's not in good form right now
- 1:17:27Speaker 6: after he was quite good for the entire season up
- 1:17:30Speaker 6: to this point. I think at some point he is
- 1:17:32Speaker 6: gonna kind of come back into form here, but I
- 1:17:36Speaker 6: would not want to trust him right now.
- 1:17:38Speaker 5: Overall, numbers still look pretty good here though pretty low.
- 1:17:41Speaker 5: Hit ray walk rate.
- 1:17:42Speaker 6: Is okay ish, and strike got raided is fine not
- 1:17:47Speaker 6: really a strike up pitcher. He might have a little
- 1:17:49Speaker 6: bit of an edge here in that Seattle's never faced
- 1:17:51Speaker 6: him before. Although that edge I think he's had a
- 1:17:53Speaker 6: couple of times that hasn't really helped him, But maybe
- 1:17:57Speaker 6: it'll help him here. He's in a more picture from
- 1:17:59Speaker 6: the environment he gets to on the road. He might
- 1:18:02Speaker 6: do okay here. I mean, I don't know, man, I
- 1:18:04Speaker 6: mean I kind of lean more towards him doing well
- 1:18:06Speaker 6: than not, But I don't know if I quite want
- 1:18:08Speaker 6: to pank on that.
- 1:18:09Speaker 5: Emerson Hancock is picture for Seattle.
- 1:18:11Speaker 6: He's been the better of the two pitchers this year
- 1:18:13Speaker 6: three point two eighty RA, one point h two whip.
- 1:18:16Speaker 6: He's been good at home two point seven home YRA.
- 1:18:19Speaker 6: So both pitchers are in the better of their home
- 1:18:21Speaker 6: road splits. Hancock wasn't good in his last start on
- 1:18:24Speaker 6: the road at Washington. I mean, do you give him
- 1:18:27Speaker 6: a pass for that? Maybe because Washington is a good offense.
- 1:18:30Speaker 6: Though again, they're better on the road than at home,
- 1:18:32Speaker 6: but they're not exactly bad at home. Hancock still has
- 1:18:36Speaker 6: had good command numbers here. He's only walked two guys
- 1:18:38Speaker 6: in fifteen innings this month, twelve strikeouts, two walks overall,
- 1:18:42Speaker 6: numbers good on the season, low hit rate, low walk rate,
- 1:18:46Speaker 6: decent strikeout rate, so he's the somewhat better of these
- 1:18:49Speaker 6: two pitchers. Red Sox have seen him a little bit.
- 1:18:52Speaker 6: They have four hitters who have faced him nine at bats,
- 1:18:55Speaker 6: and they actually have hit him a little bit three
- 1:18:58Speaker 6: thirty three average seven to seventy eight ohpm. Really not
- 1:19:01Speaker 6: a ton to take away from that, though Duran does
- 1:19:03Speaker 6: have one the one extra base hit against him a double,
- 1:19:07Speaker 6: also has the one strikeout against them, and they have
- 1:19:09Speaker 6: no walks against them.
- 1:19:12Speaker 5: This game kind.
- 1:19:13Speaker 6: Of just reads as an under again to me, though,
- 1:19:17Speaker 6: you know, I mean yesterday I said that the total
- 1:19:19Speaker 6: was too low given that matchup, and the game did
- 1:19:22Speaker 6: I think go over the total because the total was
- 1:19:25Speaker 6: way too It was six and a half, so it
- 1:19:26Speaker 6: was like there's no room for error there, and I
- 1:19:29Speaker 6: think the Red Sox won six to two, so it
- 1:19:31Speaker 6: did go over, even though the game yesterday really kind
- 1:19:34Speaker 6: of played like an under. Though this game, seven and
- 1:19:37Speaker 6: a half is the total. It's heavily juice seven out there.
- 1:19:41Speaker 6: At some of the books, money is backing the under
- 1:19:43Speaker 6: seventy two percent of tickets on the over fifty six
- 1:19:46Speaker 6: percent of the cash on the under. I some would
- 1:19:50Speaker 6: agree with it, but I have some issues with both
- 1:19:52Speaker 6: pitchers here. I mean they both had bad outings in
- 1:19:54Speaker 6: their last outing, so there, you know, especially Early is
- 1:19:58Speaker 6: just not in good form right now, so that does
- 1:20:00Speaker 6: concerned me. Hancock's matchup numbers worrying me a little bit,
- 1:20:03Speaker 6: although it's a very small sample. Seattle's around minus won
- 1:20:06Speaker 6: twenty something here, and the money is backing the Red
- 1:20:08Speaker 6: Sox sixty two percent of tickets, fifty five percent of
- 1:20:11Speaker 6: the cash on Seattle, so they're a public side with
- 1:20:14Speaker 6: the money back in the Red Sox. Seems like the
- 1:20:17Speaker 6: money is backing the Red Sox a lot this season, Like, yeah,
- 1:20:20Speaker 6: we get at the Red Sox based on the talent
- 1:20:23Speaker 6: level they have, they're not.
- 1:20:24Speaker 5: As bad as the record looks.
- 1:20:25Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true, but I'm not convinced that the Red
- 1:20:28Speaker 6: Sox are gonna win this game. But it under, you know,
- 1:20:32Speaker 6: maybe is worth considering. There definitely not gonna be anything
- 1:20:35Speaker 6: on my card though. Baltimore at the Dodgers this game,
- 1:20:39Speaker 6: I said, Dodgers over team told he yesterday they landed
- 1:20:42Speaker 6: right on six, So I don't know if they made
- 1:20:43Speaker 6: it or not. They're probably dependent on the number you
- 1:20:46Speaker 6: could get. I mean, obviously, it always depends on the
- 1:20:48Speaker 6: number you get.
- 1:20:49Speaker 5: Uh.
- 1:20:49Speaker 6: Dodgers won that game yesterday six to five. Dodgers do
- 1:20:53Speaker 6: have a bit more of an advantage in this game
- 1:20:55Speaker 6: than they did yesterday, though, because they have a better
- 1:20:57Speaker 6: pitcher on the mound than Sasaki. Dodgers used four relief
- 1:21:02Speaker 6: pitchers yesterday. Baltimore also used four. Dodgers are the better
- 1:21:06Speaker 6: bullpen the ranked fifth O the ERA little bit questionable.
- 1:21:10Speaker 6: They had a little bit of a blip over the
- 1:21:11Speaker 6: last couple of weeks, but kind of returning to form
- 1:21:14Speaker 6: a little bit here.
- 1:21:15Speaker 5: Orioles seventeenth.
- 1:21:17Speaker 6: Their bullpen is bad though, they're like a bottom ten bullpen.
- 1:21:20Speaker 5: They're not good.
- 1:21:21Speaker 6: Dodgers are number one in offense still Orioles number fifteen,
- 1:21:25Speaker 6: so both offenses have been at least decent. Dodgers obviously
- 1:21:29Speaker 6: are pretty elite in that department. Even with injuries, they
- 1:21:33Speaker 6: still hit well. Trevor Rodgers is pitching for Baltimore. He
- 1:21:36Speaker 6: is not doing well five point eight six ERA one
- 1:21:39Speaker 6: point four or five whip. He's been particularly bad on
- 1:21:42Speaker 6: the road six point six y four road ERA not
- 1:21:46Speaker 6: good here. He's been better this month a little bit.
- 1:21:49Speaker 6: He's allowed three or fewer three or fewer runs in
- 1:21:52Speaker 6: all of his starts here, but they were against the
- 1:21:54Speaker 6: Red Sox Seattle in San Diego. Seattle's the best offense
- 1:21:58Speaker 6: out of those three, and that was his weakest the
- 1:22:00Speaker 6: three starts. Dodgers are a different animal man, especially Boston
- 1:22:04Speaker 6: San Diego. Those are really bad offenses. He's gonna have
- 1:22:07Speaker 6: to step it up to face the Dodgers here. He
- 1:22:09Speaker 6: is not facing an offense like this since facing the
- 1:22:12Speaker 6: Yankees earlier in May, and he was not good in
- 1:22:15Speaker 6: that start. So do I think Rodgers is gonna pitch
- 1:22:18Speaker 6: well here Rogers versus the Dodgers, No, I do not.
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: Uh.
- 1:22:23Speaker 6: The Dodgers have thirty nine at bats against them three
- 1:22:25Speaker 6: zero eight average, eight to nineteen ops, eleven to three
- 1:22:28Speaker 6: strikeout walk ratio is fine, but the rest of these
- 1:22:31Speaker 6: numbers not great. So yes, I expect the Dodgers to
- 1:22:34Speaker 6: get some runs here. Dodgers are going with Yoshinoba Yamamoto.
- 1:22:39Speaker 6: He's obviously the better pitcher here two point five two
- 1:22:41Speaker 6: ERA point eight four whip. He is a little bit
- 1:22:44Speaker 6: worse at home two point eight four ERA, although that's
- 1:22:47Speaker 6: obviously not bad.
- 1:22:48Speaker 5: Uh, Yamamoto.
- 1:22:50Speaker 6: Possibly he's in a little bit of a let down
- 1:22:52Speaker 6: here because he took a no hitter into the ninth
- 1:22:54Speaker 6: inning last time. Actually it was a I think it
- 1:22:56Speaker 6: was a perfect game actually into the ninth inning because
- 1:22:59Speaker 6: he didn't walk anybody against the White Sox, so he
- 1:23:02Speaker 6: had a perfect game into the ninth inning and allowed
- 1:23:05Speaker 6: a home run and lost the perfect game, I think
- 1:23:09Speaker 6: with one. He got one out in the ninth inning
- 1:23:11Speaker 6: and then a lot of home run and then they
- 1:23:13Speaker 6: took him out brutal. So sometimes you know, when a
- 1:23:15Speaker 6: pitcher does that and they're on the verge of history
- 1:23:18Speaker 6: like that, sometimes they will be in a letdown spot
- 1:23:21Speaker 6: after that. So I don't love backing Yamamoto after that.
- 1:23:24Speaker 5: It was also the.
- 1:23:24Speaker 6: Most pitches he's thrown and then he start this year,
- 1:23:27Speaker 6: though it wasn't that much more than he's thrown in
- 1:23:29Speaker 6: some of these other starts, and he still pitched really well.
- 1:23:32Speaker 6: Over the course of the whole season. He's alloted more
- 1:23:34Speaker 6: than three ear and runs only once, got a really
- 1:23:37Speaker 6: low hit rate. His strikeout rate is decent, low walk
- 1:23:40Speaker 6: rate as well. We know he's good, so I don't
- 1:23:42Speaker 6: really want to bank on him pitching poorly, but I
- 1:23:44Speaker 6: do think he'll regress a little bit from what he
- 1:23:47Speaker 6: did in his last outing. Numbers against Baltimore are pretty dominant,
- 1:23:50Speaker 6: though in thirty at bats ten strikeouts five walks isn't
- 1:23:54Speaker 6: that great though one thirty three average four to ninety ops.
- 1:23:57Speaker 6: They only have one extra base hit, which is a
- 1:23:59Speaker 6: home run from Jackson Holliday, the son of Matt Holliday,
- 1:24:04Speaker 6: former Colorado Rocky.
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, I would still think Yamamoto will still.
- 1:24:11Speaker 6: Pitch pretty well here though, But if you want the Dodgers,
- 1:24:14Speaker 6: you're obviously you're paying for it Dodgers plus. I believe
- 1:24:17Speaker 6: the World Series MVP from last year, Yamamoto to minus
- 1:24:22Speaker 6: two seventy minus two sixty something is the price here.
- 1:24:25Speaker 6: You can't do that ninety five percent of tickets eighty
- 1:24:29Speaker 6: nine percent of the cash on the Dodgers.
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: The money is actually fading the Dodgers here.
- 1:24:33Speaker 6: I would not want to back Baltimore either here though,
- 1:24:36Speaker 6: the money is also backing the over the totals at
- 1:24:39Speaker 6: eight I think again broken record, but I think the
- 1:24:42Speaker 6: way to look at this game might just be to
- 1:24:44Speaker 6: go Dodgers over their team total. Then you know whether
- 1:24:47Speaker 6: or not Yamamoto is gonna let down spot. You get
- 1:24:50Speaker 6: to put that out of the equation. Just go with
- 1:24:52Speaker 6: the Dodgers to score runs here. That might be the
- 1:24:55Speaker 6: approach you probably, I mean, you'll probably need to get
- 1:24:59Speaker 6: six runs again here though, but they're capable of doing it.
- 1:25:03Speaker 6: They did it yesterday barely. But yeah, that's probably what
- 1:25:07Speaker 6: I would look the way that I would look at
- 1:25:09Speaker 6: that Minnesota at Arizona. I'm thinking maybe I should have
- 1:25:13Speaker 6: just put Arizona on the card yesterday, because they did
- 1:25:15Speaker 6: win fairly easily yesterday. I think nine to five was
- 1:25:18Speaker 6: the final. I haven't really looked at the box score,
- 1:25:20Speaker 6: but Arizona seemed to have pretty much an advantage everywhere
- 1:25:23Speaker 6: in that game yesterday. Arizona, however, in this game, coming
- 1:25:27Speaker 6: into this game, they use seven relief pitchers yesterday, So
- 1:25:31Speaker 6: I don't know what happened to Soraka yesterday. Did he
- 1:25:33Speaker 6: not pitch, did he get injured? I don't know what
- 1:25:35Speaker 6: that was. Arizona used way too many relief pitchers though.
- 1:25:39Speaker 6: It wasn't an extra inning game either, so honestly, I
- 1:25:41Speaker 6: have no idea what happened in that game. Let me look, Actually,
- 1:25:45Speaker 6: I'm I'm interested to know, I think Soroka got injured. Dude,
- 1:25:49Speaker 6: he only threw nine pitches, so that's a problem if
- 1:25:53Speaker 6: you're a d BAS fan. Garrett probably not happy about
- 1:25:57Speaker 6: that either. Yeah, I don't know, man, so well, I'll
- 1:26:01Speaker 6: have to look into it and see what the deal
- 1:26:03Speaker 6: is there. But in this game, you know, what we
- 1:26:05Speaker 6: have to worry about is that the d Backs bullpen
- 1:26:08Speaker 6: is very unrested.
- 1:26:09Speaker 5: Here.
- 1:26:10Speaker 6: Typically they are the better of these two bullpens. Minnesotas
- 1:26:13Speaker 6: is very bad, debatably the worst, but Minnesota only these
- 1:26:17Speaker 6: two guys out of the bullpen yesterday, so Minnesota does
- 1:26:20Speaker 6: have a bullpen rested Evangeline, the Diamondbacks are rank sixth
- 1:26:24Speaker 6: in bullpen, but they're eray is a little bit worse
- 1:26:28Speaker 6: than that. Still, they're better than Minnesota, who is the
- 1:26:31Speaker 6: worst bullpen e Ray in baseball, and the ranks they're
- 1:26:35Speaker 6: ranked dead last, I mean the rank they're tied and
- 1:26:37Speaker 6: whip the Reds. So yeah, Minnesota is the worst bullpen
- 1:26:39Speaker 6: in baseball right now. Minnesota number thirteen in offense, Diamondbacks
- 1:26:44Speaker 6: are number twenty six, so they've really struggled offensively. Taj
- 1:26:48Speaker 6: Bradley's getting the star from Minnesota he's definitely regressed after
- 1:26:53Speaker 6: he was hot at the beginning of the season. I
- 1:26:55Speaker 6: don't want to talk about it because he's done damage
- 1:26:57Speaker 6: to my bank roll, at least damage, you know, to
- 1:27:01Speaker 6: what we've tried to do on the show. Four point
- 1:27:03Speaker 6: one four ERA one point three to four whip not good,
- 1:27:07Speaker 6: not a good whip. His ray on the road four
- 1:27:10Speaker 6: point thirty nine not excellent there either, struggled this month
- 1:27:14Speaker 6: fifteen to nine strike out walk ratio.
- 1:27:16Speaker 5: That's not good.
- 1:27:17Speaker 6: Although he was better in his last outing against Saint Louis,
- 1:27:20Speaker 6: even though he gave up four runs there, he was
- 1:27:22Speaker 6: able to go deeper into the game, had more strikeouts
- 1:27:24Speaker 6: and fewer walks. So maybe he is coming back into
- 1:27:27Speaker 6: form a little bit here. I don't know if we
- 1:27:29Speaker 6: can fully trust him right now. Though he's got a
- 1:27:31Speaker 6: high strikeout rate on the season, so that's good, a
- 1:27:33Speaker 6: low hit rate, but his problem is the walks.
- 1:27:36Speaker 5: Like, this guy's got talent, he's still pretty young.
- 1:27:39Speaker 6: He's got strikeout capability, but he's got to stop walking
- 1:27:42Speaker 6: guys man. That's like the main issue with him. And
- 1:27:47Speaker 6: then against Arizona, he doesn't have good numbers in twenty
- 1:27:50Speaker 6: six at bats, which I know is in a huge
- 1:27:52Speaker 6: sample three to three strikeout walk ratio three zero eight,
- 1:27:55Speaker 6: batting average allout eleven to ten oh ps not good.
- 1:27:59Speaker 6: I he'pe he going up against Zach Gallon, who is
- 1:28:01Speaker 6: not having a good season at all for Arizona. Five
- 1:28:04Speaker 6: point three to five yr, one point five to three
- 1:28:07Speaker 6: whip is really bad. He's good at home though, with
- 1:28:11Speaker 6: three point six y five homiel Ray. He is way
- 1:28:13Speaker 6: worse on the road for whatever reason. He's been still
- 1:28:19Speaker 6: not really that good this month. Though he had an
- 1:28:21Speaker 6: okay start last time out at Cincinnati, a couple of
- 1:28:24Speaker 6: starts prior to that wasn't very good. Eight to five
- 1:28:26Speaker 6: strike out walk ratio this month with twenty four hits
- 1:28:29Speaker 6: all out in sixteen at third innings. That's not good.
- 1:28:33Speaker 6: He's been way too hit a boy in. His strike
- 1:28:34Speaker 6: got rate is way down, something very very wrong with him.
- 1:28:39Speaker 6: That's been the case over the course of the whole season.
- 1:28:41Speaker 6: His hit rate is way too high, his walk rate
- 1:28:43Speaker 6: is okay, and his strike gout rate is way too low.
- 1:28:46Speaker 5: Strike got right, yeah, is way too low.
- 1:28:47Speaker 6: So yeah, not a lot to like here with him,
- 1:28:51Speaker 6: other than the fact that Minnesota hasn't done much damage
- 1:28:53Speaker 6: against him in the past. Minnesota only has five hitters
- 1:28:56Speaker 6: have faced him twenty nine at bats, one extra base
- 1:29:00Speaker 6: which is a buston home run. They have five strikeouts,
- 1:29:03Speaker 6: no walks, two oh seven average five to seventeen obs.
- 1:29:06Speaker 6: So maybe he matches up okay here and he is
- 1:29:08Speaker 6: in the better of his splits here at the very least.
- 1:29:13Speaker 5: I mean I would be.
- 1:29:14Speaker 6: Hesitant to want to back Arizona here. I think if
- 1:29:16Speaker 6: you back Arizona, I think if you back either team here,
- 1:29:20Speaker 6: you want to avoid the bullpens. I mean, I don't
- 1:29:22Speaker 6: see any way to want like, I don't see any
- 1:29:25Speaker 6: way to play either of these bullpens here. Arizona's around
- 1:29:28Speaker 6: minus one thirty on the full game, sixty six percent
- 1:29:30Speaker 6: of tickets seventy seven percent of the cash on them.
- 1:29:33Speaker 5: I think you could play Arizona.
- 1:29:34Speaker 6: You should go first five though, just avoid the bullpen
- 1:29:38Speaker 6: with either with whatever you do here, or you could
- 1:29:41Speaker 6: play the full game over the totals at nine seventy
- 1:29:45Speaker 6: one percent of tickets eighty eight percent of the cash
- 1:29:47Speaker 6: on the over. I don't disagree with an over here.
- 1:29:50Speaker 6: You know, both both bullpens are in bad, like the
- 1:29:54Speaker 6: one bullpen is bad and the other one sets up
- 1:29:57Speaker 6: poorly in this game, and both starters are kind of
- 1:30:01Speaker 6: you know, both starters are definitely questionable at the very least,
- 1:30:04Speaker 6: So an over does make some sense there in that one.
- 1:30:07Speaker 5: And that's it for baseball here, all right.
- 1:30:12Speaker 6: Let me see here we got WNBA here three WNBA games.
- 1:30:16Speaker 6: Afternoon game is a quick rematch between Indiana and Atlanta
- 1:30:20Speaker 6: on ABC. Indiana won the first matchup this season, and
- 1:30:24Speaker 6: Atlanta bounced back and won at Indiana last time out
- 1:30:28Speaker 6: by seven. Now, I liked Atlanta in that game because
- 1:30:31Speaker 6: the first matchup these teams had was a little bit misleading.
- 1:30:34Speaker 6: I thought they would bounce back playing in the same
- 1:30:36Speaker 6: arena too.
- 1:30:39Speaker 5: The setup was decent.
- 1:30:40Speaker 6: Indiana was able to get the win there, or excusely,
- 1:30:42Speaker 6: Atlanta excusely was able to get the win there. Now
- 1:30:45Speaker 6: they're playing each other again in Atlanta, so it does
- 1:30:47Speaker 6: look like it could be one of those road reversal
- 1:30:49Speaker 6: spots where now Indiana is the team at Zigzags and
- 1:30:53Speaker 6: comes back and plays better in this one. So I
- 1:30:55Speaker 6: wouldn't really disagree with Indiana here, But you got to
- 1:30:57Speaker 6: dig into the box score here and see what happened
- 1:31:00Speaker 6: in this last game and you know, wasn't an outlier
- 1:31:04Speaker 6: or anything. Well, Atlanta won the rebound battle by four.
- 1:31:08Speaker 6: Indiana did turn the ball over a lot, so they
- 1:31:10Speaker 6: might be able to clean that up a little bit.
- 1:31:12Speaker 6: Indiana did shoot really well from three. They took more.
- 1:31:16Speaker 6: Oh no, they took fewer threes, but they hit more.
- 1:31:19Speaker 6: They hit forty seven percent of their threes, so you
- 1:31:23Speaker 6: got to think that's gonna regress. Indiana is not gonna
- 1:31:25Speaker 6: shoot as well from three. Both teams shot well from
- 1:31:28Speaker 6: the field fifty four percent for Atlanta, fifty six percent
- 1:31:31Speaker 6: from Indiana. Usually Atlanta's a good deepense too, so both
- 1:31:34Speaker 6: offenses do have some room to regress here. Both teams
- 1:31:37Speaker 6: hit hit more of their field goals than you would expect.
- 1:31:41Speaker 6: Indiana hit more threes than you would think based on
- 1:31:44Speaker 6: how many they took, and both teams went to the
- 1:31:46Speaker 6: line a lot. Atlanta went to the line thirty five times,
- 1:31:49Speaker 6: Indiana twenty nine times.
- 1:31:51Speaker 5: So there were a lot of free throw attempts in.
- 1:31:53Speaker 6: This game, so that also skewed the game more towards
- 1:31:56Speaker 6: the over here. So given all that, I think more
- 1:32:00Speaker 6: regression points line up for this game to be an
- 1:32:02Speaker 6: under this time rather than the side although I do
- 1:32:05Speaker 6: think there is some argument for the zigzag for Indiana here,
- 1:32:08Speaker 6: but I don't like that Indiana might regress, Like the
- 1:32:12Speaker 6: biggest regression point might be Indiana's three point percentage, so
- 1:32:16Speaker 6: I don't really want Indiana here. Now, Indiana was a
- 1:32:20Speaker 6: one and a half point underdog in that game. Uh,
- 1:32:22Speaker 6: that was at home. So the oddsmakers are telling you
- 1:32:25Speaker 6: Atlanta is the better team. But Atlanta is laying five
- 1:32:27Speaker 6: and a half here. The money is back in Indiana
- 1:32:30Speaker 6: eighty two percent of tickets, ninety percent of the cash
- 1:32:32Speaker 6: on them. I'll agree with Indiana plus the points here.
- 1:32:36Speaker 6: They may make the adjustments to fix some things, but
- 1:32:39Speaker 6: the total might be where you want to look.
- 1:32:41Speaker 5: Like I said, I mean that game, the game.
- 1:32:44Speaker 6: Landed whatever then is two oh nine and the total
- 1:32:48Speaker 6: was one seventy three and a half, which is a
- 1:32:50Speaker 6: high total in the WNBA. But the total now in
- 1:32:53Speaker 6: this game is up to one seventy seven and a half,
- 1:32:56Speaker 6: So the total is four points higher than the pre game.
- 1:33:00Speaker 6: Even though Atlanta is the better defensive team and they're
- 1:33:03Speaker 6: at home and they might make this more of a
- 1:33:05Speaker 6: defensive game here, I think the bigger like, the bigger
- 1:33:09Speaker 6: regression point here is that both teams should shoot worse.
- 1:33:12Speaker 6: Here both teams probably go to the free throw line less.
- 1:33:15Speaker 6: So I think an under makes sense, although I usually
- 1:33:17Speaker 6: don't want to go under these highest totals because it's
- 1:33:20Speaker 6: high for a reason. And Indiana's been playing a lot
- 1:33:22Speaker 6: of high scoring games this year, and if if you
- 1:33:25Speaker 6: think Indiana's going to be the team that might be
- 1:33:27Speaker 6: able to cover this number, they're probably going to need
- 1:33:30Speaker 6: to speed the game up. Although usually the better team
- 1:33:32Speaker 6: at home kind of can control the pace, and that
- 1:33:35Speaker 6: is Atlanta, so they probably want to slow it down.
- 1:33:37Speaker 5: But I think an under makes the most sense in
- 1:33:41Speaker 5: this game. But the money doesn't agree.
- 1:33:43Speaker 6: Fifty tickets on the under sixty three percent of the
- 1:33:46Speaker 6: cash on the over. But I think out of all
- 1:33:48Speaker 6: the WNBA games today, I think the under in this
- 1:33:51Speaker 6: game makes the most sense though, because there's a lot
- 1:33:53Speaker 6: of regression.
- 1:33:55Speaker 5: Potential after that last game.
- 1:33:57Speaker 6: And by the way, the first game these two teams
- 1:33:58Speaker 6: played was eighty three to seventy one, which was also
- 1:34:02Speaker 6: that was at Indiana, though they haven't played at Atlanta
- 1:34:05Speaker 6: yet this year, but that was a much lower scoring game.
- 1:34:08Speaker 6: That game went under. Obviously, that game landed one fifty four,
- 1:34:11Speaker 6: So we've had one really low scoring game, one really
- 1:34:14Speaker 6: high scoring game. But yeah, undermakes sense to me in
- 1:34:17Speaker 6: this one. Although that game, I'm assuming the shooting was
- 1:34:20Speaker 6: just way off in that game. So I think what
- 1:34:23Speaker 6: you can expect in this game is somewhere in between
- 1:34:25Speaker 6: the two obviously. I mean that's what the odds makers
- 1:34:28Speaker 6: are telling you as well. Yes, I've talked about that
- 1:34:33Speaker 6: on the show. Indiana needs to fire their coach. I
- 1:34:35Speaker 6: don't know what Indiana is doing here. They need to
- 1:34:38Speaker 6: just unleash Clark. The league also is just beating up Clark,
- 1:34:44Speaker 6: like the opposing players just intentionally injure her. Seattle at
- 1:34:49Speaker 6: Phoenix also on ABC, people are gonna look at this
- 1:34:52Speaker 6: and say, well, Phoenix, they're four and twelve and Seattle
- 1:34:55Speaker 6: is three and thirteen, only one game worse. How is
- 1:34:58Speaker 6: Phoenix laying seven and a half here?
- 1:35:00Speaker 5: Right?
- 1:35:01Speaker 6: Like, I think the public is gonna look at this
- 1:35:03Speaker 6: and think that line makes absolutely no sense. But the
- 1:35:06Speaker 6: oddsmakers are telling you Phoenix is way better than Seattle.
- 1:35:09Speaker 6: Seattle is one of the worst teams in the league.
- 1:35:12Speaker 6: Phoenix is better than the record would indicate because they
- 1:35:14Speaker 6: face a really difficult schedule this year. Phoenix is coming
- 1:35:17Speaker 6: off a difficult game against Vegas, but they're staying at home.
- 1:35:20Speaker 6: They did lose that game by double digits. I think
- 1:35:23Speaker 6: Phoenix is probably the right side here. They did go
- 1:35:26Speaker 6: to Seattle and win only by four. But if you
- 1:35:29Speaker 6: dive into this box score a little bit, Phoenix was
- 1:35:33Speaker 6: favored by seven and a half in that game when
- 1:35:35Speaker 6: the game went off on the road, and Phoenix is
- 1:35:38Speaker 6: the same here. There's seven and a half here at
- 1:35:41Speaker 6: home now, so if they were seven and a half
- 1:35:44Speaker 6: on the road, they should be more than seven and
- 1:35:46Speaker 6: a half at home, you know.
- 1:35:47Speaker 5: So it looks like there's some value here. The money
- 1:35:49Speaker 5: is all over.
- 1:35:50Speaker 6: Phoenix here, seventy one percent of tickets on Seattle, seventy
- 1:35:53Speaker 6: seven percent of the cash on Phoenix. I would look
- 1:35:56Speaker 6: for Phoenix here. I would try to lay the seven
- 1:35:58Speaker 6: if you can find a seven out there. It looks
- 1:36:00Speaker 6: like the it's mostly the sharper books that have the
- 1:36:03Speaker 6: lower number of seven, though, But I think I don't
- 1:36:06Speaker 6: know if that's really a sharp lean really. I think
- 1:36:08Speaker 6: it's more that just the more public books tend to
- 1:36:11Speaker 6: just juice the favorite, though in most cases that's just
- 1:36:15Speaker 6: the way that it is if you look.
- 1:36:16Speaker 5: At this game.
- 1:36:16Speaker 6: Though Phoenix won the rebound battle by double digits in
- 1:36:19Speaker 6: the previous game, they only Phoenix only hit three three
- 1:36:23Speaker 6: pointers in the game, and I think we lost on
- 1:36:26Speaker 6: this game. I think we laid the points with Phoenix
- 1:36:28Speaker 6: in this one. It was a bullshit loss. They hit
- 1:36:31Speaker 6: fourteen percent of their threes and only hit three threes,
- 1:36:35Speaker 6: so you know, Phoenix, there is a huge regression point there.
- 1:36:38Speaker 6: But then on the other side, Seattle only took three
- 1:36:41Speaker 6: free throw or only hit three free throws.
- 1:36:44Speaker 5: It only took five. So there was a huge free.
- 1:36:46Speaker 6: Throw advantage to Phoenix in that game. But some of
- 1:36:49Speaker 6: it was that Phoenix was dominating on the interior. But also, yeah,
- 1:36:52Speaker 6: that is a regression point that does favorite Seattle in
- 1:36:55Speaker 6: today's game. So I don't quite want to do it
- 1:36:57Speaker 6: because you have regression points going both ways here. Yattle
- 1:37:00Speaker 6: did have more field goal attempts in that game, but
- 1:37:02Speaker 6: that was also because Phoenix went to the line a ton.
- 1:37:06Speaker 6: Phoenix was still better than the number look than the
- 1:37:09Speaker 6: final scorer looked in that one.
- 1:37:10Speaker 5: I still lean Phoenix laying the points here.
- 1:37:13Speaker 6: And then the final game is Chicago and Dallas on
- 1:37:15Speaker 6: CBS and paramount. Plus, these are not Cup games, by
- 1:37:19Speaker 6: the way, I finally figured out how the Cup works
- 1:37:22Speaker 6: in the WBA, Like the teams just play all these
- 1:37:25Speaker 6: cup games and then literally it's whichever team from the
- 1:37:28Speaker 6: Western Conference in whichever team from the Eastern Conference has
- 1:37:31Speaker 6: the best Cup record, and I don't know what the
- 1:37:34Speaker 6: tiebreaker is or whatever.
- 1:37:36Speaker 5: Those teams.
- 1:37:38Speaker 6: Are gonna play in the Cup Final, which is gonna
- 1:37:41Speaker 6: be in like the next couple of weeks. So it
- 1:37:43Speaker 6: is going to be Vegas against New York. That's gonna
- 1:37:47Speaker 6: be the Cup final. Those are actually legitimate championship contending teams.
- 1:37:50Speaker 6: Obviously Vegas won the championship last year, but those are
- 1:37:53Speaker 6: the teams that are vying for the Cup final. So
- 1:37:57Speaker 6: something to know there, Dirty Sock, Happy birth a man.
- 1:38:01Speaker 6: Hopefully we get some wins on the show then for you.
- 1:38:04Speaker 6: I'm trying. I try every day. Dallas is laying a
- 1:38:07Speaker 6: lot of points here against Chicago. Chicago's had a bunch
- 1:38:10Speaker 6: of injuries, I think, and they really haven't played well.
- 1:38:12Speaker 6: Chicago's also coming off some really tough games here. They
- 1:38:15Speaker 6: played Atlanta to within seven at home, and then they
- 1:38:18Speaker 6: went on the road and they took Indiana to overtime
- 1:38:21Speaker 6: and lost. Then they played New York really close at
- 1:38:24Speaker 6: home and lost by one. I think that's kind of
- 1:38:26Speaker 6: brutal coming off all those games. Now they have to
- 1:38:29Speaker 6: face Dallas. I think it's kind of a hangover spot
- 1:38:32Speaker 6: for Chicago here. I don't really like Chicago here. They
- 1:38:35Speaker 6: did lose to Dallas early in the season at home, though,
- 1:38:38Speaker 6: so Dallas because Dallas went on the road and already
- 1:38:41Speaker 6: beat the Chicago team by ten points. You know, maybe
- 1:38:47Speaker 6: maybe Dallas does overlook them a little bit. But you
- 1:38:49Speaker 6: could see Chicago's mindset here. They lost that game on
- 1:38:53Speaker 6: like a buzzer beater by an esk who I guess
- 1:38:58Speaker 6: against against the Liberty there. So that's kind of brutal
- 1:39:03Speaker 6: to bounce back from. Dallas is in a better spot here.
- 1:39:06Speaker 6: Dallas did just I mean, it was a tough game.
- 1:39:08Speaker 6: Dallas took a loss against a pretty good Golden State
- 1:39:11Speaker 6: team Dallas. You know, it's tough to gauge what Dallas
- 1:39:15Speaker 6: is gonna do here because they are returning home.
- 1:39:17Speaker 5: It was only from a single game on the road, though.
- 1:39:20Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 1:39:21Speaker 6: We'll see and it looks like I don't know what's
- 1:39:24Speaker 6: going on with FUD here. The number one draft pick
- 1:39:27Speaker 6: for the Wings here, she hasn't played much. She's you know,
- 1:39:31Speaker 6: uh Becker's who's also on their team and their previous
- 1:39:35Speaker 6: number one draft pick.
- 1:39:36Speaker 5: They they date each other.
- 1:39:38Speaker 6: It's all this ridiculous scenario, but it looks like is
- 1:39:40Speaker 6: fun even on the team right now with the hellas
- 1:39:42Speaker 6: Project B Plan B. I have no idea what the
- 1:39:45Speaker 6: fuck is going on here?
- 1:39:47Speaker 5: Anyway.
- 1:39:47Speaker 6: She hasn't played much for Dallas this year, though it
- 1:39:50Speaker 6: doesn't really matter to me.
- 1:39:51Speaker 5: Dallas.
- 1:39:52Speaker 6: I think Dallas is the way I would lean here,
- 1:39:54Speaker 6: just because Chicago's coming off so many difficult games. But
- 1:39:57Speaker 6: the worry is that Dallas might not take Chicago serious.
- 1:40:00Speaker 6: So you got to lay nine and a half with
- 1:40:01Speaker 6: Dallas here, or nine eighty percent of the tickets ninety
- 1:40:05Speaker 6: three percent of the cash on Dallas. I agree with Dallas,
- 1:40:08Speaker 6: but that's not a play for me, not even close really,
- 1:40:12Speaker 6: all right, World Cup first game up will be a
- 1:40:15Speaker 6: play for me. Yes, happy birthday. I'm gonna give out
- 1:40:20Speaker 6: a play here on the first World Cup game here,
- 1:40:25Speaker 6: and we are going to go with the Netherlands on
- 1:40:27Speaker 6: the money line here against my ancestors Sweden. I just
- 1:40:32Speaker 6: think Sweden they're coming off a really misleading looking result.
- 1:40:36Speaker 5: Man, that's what I think. Netherlands are the better team.
- 1:40:39Speaker 6: You can get about minus one forty the on the
- 1:40:41Speaker 6: it's on the three way line, so they have to
- 1:40:43Speaker 6: win a draw. You're gonna lose the bet if it's
- 1:40:46Speaker 6: a draw. But the Netherlands are the better team. The
- 1:40:49Speaker 6: Netherlands are also staying in Texas. They just played in Arlington, Texas,
- 1:40:54Speaker 6: so they're only going from basically Dallas, we'll Arlington to
- 1:40:58Speaker 6: Houston here, so it's an easy trip for them because
- 1:41:01Speaker 6: Sweden is coming in from Mexico, so even though I
- 1:41:04Speaker 6: know they're only playing in Texas here, so I think
- 1:41:06Speaker 6: it's probably the same time zone and whatever. But having
- 1:41:10Speaker 6: across you know, the border, go through customs, whatever, I
- 1:41:12Speaker 6: think it's a more difficult spot for Sweden. And the
- 1:41:15Speaker 6: Netherlands are gonna be the more desperate team here because
- 1:41:17Speaker 6: they didn't pick up a win in their last game.
- 1:41:20Speaker 6: They drew with Japan, and if you saw what happened
- 1:41:23Speaker 6: in that game, the Netherlands had the lead twice in
- 1:41:26Speaker 6: the game, they were winning one nothing and two to one,
- 1:41:28Speaker 6: and then Japan scored a goal in the final minute
- 1:41:32Speaker 6: of whatever you call it regulation whatever to draw that game. Yeah,
- 1:41:39Speaker 6: I mean the Netherlands probably should have won that game.
- 1:41:41Speaker 6: The Netherlands also do have the best single player here
- 1:41:44Speaker 6: in van Dyke. Van Dyke is a very very good player.
- 1:41:48Speaker 6: I believe this is I think this is him right here.
- 1:41:50Speaker 6: I'm not one hundred percent sure about that. I don't
- 1:41:52Speaker 6: know what these guys look like, man, but I know
- 1:41:55Speaker 6: Vandyke is a really good player.
- 1:41:56Speaker 5: Though.
- 1:41:58Speaker 6: Anyway, if you look at what in this game it was,
- 1:42:01Speaker 6: it was expected to be a very low scoring game,
- 1:42:04Speaker 6: so that is something to keep in mind. But the
- 1:42:06Speaker 6: Netherlands were expected to win this game point seventy nine
- 1:42:09Speaker 6: to point five nine, but they did win the possession battle.
- 1:42:12Speaker 6: They had twice as many shots on goal and somehow
- 1:42:16Speaker 6: drew in this match.
- 1:42:17Speaker 5: Even though they were the better team. They're the better team.
- 1:42:19Speaker 6: They were the better team in the match, so I
- 1:42:22Speaker 6: think they have a better setup here to bounce back
- 1:42:24Speaker 6: after kind of a lackluster performance here.
- 1:42:27Speaker 5: They were way better passing team as well. In the game.
- 1:42:31Speaker 6: They were just the better team in the game. And
- 1:42:33Speaker 6: I know it was supposed to be a much lower
- 1:42:34Speaker 6: scoring game than this. That is something to keep in
- 1:42:36Speaker 6: mind as well coming into this game, so I also
- 1:42:38Speaker 6: don't disagree with an under in today's game either, although
- 1:42:42Speaker 6: I am going with the Netherlands here. But we're also
- 1:42:44Speaker 6: gonna fade Sweden because look at what they did in
- 1:42:46Speaker 6: their last game. They won five to one against Tunisia
- 1:42:50Speaker 6: and people are gonna freak out about that. Sweden picked
- 1:42:53Speaker 6: up three points there, and yes, Sweden was the better team.
- 1:42:56Speaker 6: Tunisia is not a very good team, though. Netherlands are
- 1:42:59Speaker 6: a huge step up in class for Sweden here and
- 1:43:02Speaker 6: for the Netherlands. I think Japan is kind of Japan's
- 1:43:06Speaker 6: decent man, so the Netherlands.
- 1:43:09Speaker 5: I think the Netherlands might.
- 1:43:10Speaker 6: Have actually been a smaller favorite against Japan than they
- 1:43:13Speaker 6: are here. So the Netherlands are actually stepping down in
- 1:43:15Speaker 6: class to vace Sweden here. So the Netherlands are playing
- 1:43:19Speaker 6: a lesser team than they did in their first match.
- 1:43:21Speaker 6: Sweden is playing a much better opponent than they did
- 1:43:24Speaker 6: in their first match. Sweden picked up the three points,
- 1:43:27Speaker 6: the Netherlands only picked up the one from the draw.
- 1:43:30Speaker 6: So you have the Netherlands as the better team here
- 1:43:32Speaker 6: the better travel spot. You're looking at some misleading results
- 1:43:35Speaker 6: in the first match and the Netherlands are gonna need
- 1:43:38Speaker 6: this game more or match because they have one point
- 1:43:42Speaker 6: right now in Sweden has three. So the Netherlands they're
- 1:43:45Speaker 6: really gonna have to set their sights on Sweden because
- 1:43:48Speaker 6: Sweden is above them in the standings here right now
- 1:43:51Speaker 6: in their group. If you look at this game, Sweden
- 1:43:54Speaker 6: lost the possession battle in this game.
- 1:43:57Speaker 5: Even though they won five to one.
- 1:43:59Speaker 6: The expected score in this game, I don't know how
- 1:44:01Speaker 6: this is even accurate, was zero zero. Yet Sweden scored
- 1:44:06Speaker 6: five goals in this game. I don't know what to
- 1:44:09Speaker 6: tell you about that. I don't know how that's even possible.
- 1:44:12Speaker 6: They did score one goal in extra time for no
- 1:44:16Speaker 6: apparent reason, but the fact that they lost the possession
- 1:44:19Speaker 6: battles to Tunisia that's not a good sign, and that
- 1:44:22Speaker 6: obviously tells you this five to one final was massively misleading.
- 1:44:26Speaker 6: This game should have been like a really low scoring draw. Basically,
- 1:44:29Speaker 6: according to the stats here, neither team had any big chances.
- 1:44:34Speaker 6: Sweden did have more shots on goal, though, so give
- 1:44:36Speaker 6: them that, So they did win the shot battle, so
- 1:44:39Speaker 6: they were slightly the better team in the game, but
- 1:44:41Speaker 6: not by anywhere near what it looked like on the
- 1:44:45Speaker 6: final score there, so very misleading result from Sweden. There
- 1:44:48Speaker 6: somewhat misleading result from the Netherlands side as well, that
- 1:44:52Speaker 6: both go in the direction of Netherlands. Here, we're gonna
- 1:44:55Speaker 6: go with the Netherlands hopefully we get a win in
- 1:44:57Speaker 6: the afternoon here, like we did with the Swiss the
- 1:45:00Speaker 6: other day. We're going with another European country here to
- 1:45:03Speaker 6: get it done for us. Here, we'll go with the
- 1:45:06Speaker 6: Dutch this time. We'll go with the Orange here to
- 1:45:09Speaker 6: get this one of those. It's gonna be against my people,
- 1:45:12Speaker 6: the Swedes, but we're doing it. I think it's the
- 1:45:14Speaker 6: right spot to do it. Netherlands money line is the
- 1:45:17Speaker 6: play there?
- 1:45:21Speaker 5: What wait? What uh?
- 1:45:24Speaker 6: The w NBA locker rooms? You mean, yes, sir, all right?
- 1:45:30Speaker 6: Germany and Ivory Coast. Germany's the minus one ninety five
- 1:45:33Speaker 6: favorite here. Sobs said that he's playing. I think it
- 1:45:36Speaker 6: was Ivory Coast plus the half goal, I think is
- 1:45:39Speaker 6: what he said. I don't know what the price. You
- 1:45:41Speaker 6: probably get plus money on that if you do do that.
- 1:45:45Speaker 6: I don't necessarily disagree. I mean Germany, Germany's coming off
- 1:45:49Speaker 6: a really easy match, man. I mean they had the
- 1:45:52Speaker 6: biggest blowout in the first game out of anybody against
- 1:45:57Speaker 6: against Curasao, who I don't even think. Curas is not
- 1:46:00Speaker 6: even a country, like they're a Dutch territory.
- 1:46:03Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure. I don't know why they have their
- 1:46:04Speaker 5: own soccer team.
- 1:46:06Speaker 6: That game was in Houston, by the way, today's game
- 1:46:09Speaker 6: is in Toronto, so Germany is having to travel from
- 1:46:12Speaker 6: Houston up through customs into.
- 1:46:14Speaker 5: Toronto, so that's not that easy.
- 1:46:16Speaker 6: Although Ivory Coast is coming from beating Ecuador, that was
- 1:46:20Speaker 6: a much more difficult match. Ecuador is a solid team.
- 1:46:23Speaker 6: That was a close match. I told you, I showed
- 1:46:25Speaker 6: you the odds on that game. I think Ecuador is
- 1:46:27Speaker 6: a very slight favorite in that one. Both teams were
- 1:46:30Speaker 6: plus money on the three way line in that one.
- 1:46:33Speaker 6: And if we look at this match, Ivory Coast was
- 1:46:39Speaker 6: expected to win about one and a half to one.
- 1:46:41Speaker 6: Here though Ecuador actually won the possession battle, but Ivory
- 1:46:45Speaker 6: Coast got more shots off in the game, so they
- 1:46:47Speaker 6: did outplay Ecuador, not by much, but they won the
- 1:46:50Speaker 6: game one nothing, which isn't exactly misleading. At least it
- 1:46:55Speaker 6: was a close match though, you know, statistically, as expected,
- 1:46:59Speaker 6: Ivory Coast scored right at the end to break the
- 1:47:01Speaker 6: zero zero draw there and get the win.
- 1:47:05Speaker 5: So it was close.
- 1:47:06Speaker 6: It was it was almost a zero zero draw in
- 1:47:08Speaker 6: that one. And Ivory Coast where was their game? I
- 1:47:11Speaker 6: like to look at what the travel spot was here.
- 1:47:14Speaker 6: This game was in Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, so Ivory Coast
- 1:47:19Speaker 6: does have a little bit of a travel edge here
- 1:47:21Speaker 6: going from Philly to Toronto rather than Germany coming up
- 1:47:24Speaker 6: from Houston. So yeah, you know, I actually don't necessarily
- 1:47:29Speaker 6: disagree with the Ivory Coast here. I mean, Germany looked
- 1:47:31Speaker 6: way too good in that first game. Germany has not
- 1:47:34Speaker 6: been tested at all yet. Ivory Coast has been battle
- 1:47:37Speaker 6: tested a little bit in facing Ecuador, although Germany is
- 1:47:40Speaker 6: better than Ecuador, so.
- 1:47:43Speaker 5: We'll see what happens.
- 1:47:44Speaker 6: I slightly leaned to Ivory Coast, but you know, not
- 1:47:48Speaker 6: not going to be a play from me. So you know,
- 1:47:51Speaker 6: do with that information what you want. Ivory Coast flag
- 1:47:58Speaker 6: identical to Ireland, It isn't. Uh, it's it's reversed from
- 1:48:02Speaker 6: the Ireland flag. Ireland has green on the left, so
- 1:48:06Speaker 6: it is not the same flag. I don't even think
- 1:48:08Speaker 6: that would be allowed, although actually it probably is because
- 1:48:11Speaker 6: there Indonesia and Poland I'm pretty sure have an identical flag.
- 1:48:16Speaker 6: You can correct me if I'm wrong about that, and
- 1:48:18Speaker 6: maybe Monaco maybe in there, I.
- 1:48:21Speaker 5: Forget uh there.
- 1:48:23Speaker 6: I think there are a couple of countries that literally
- 1:48:25Speaker 6: do have the same flag. I think it's Poland and Indonesia.
- 1:48:29Speaker 6: You can look that up. Though Ecuador and Curisl. Ecuador
- 1:48:34Speaker 6: is a massive favorite here minus seven to fifty.
- 1:48:36Speaker 5: Curisel.
- 1:48:37Speaker 6: Like I said, I think they're the worst club in
- 1:48:40Speaker 6: this entire tournament. I don't think they're gonna get a
- 1:48:42Speaker 6: point in this whole thing. I think they're gonna lose
- 1:48:45Speaker 6: every single match. All these games are on Fox, uh,
- 1:48:48Speaker 6: Telemundo whatever. Fox Sports won Fox one all that crap.
- 1:48:52Speaker 6: This game is in Kansas City, Ecuador. Like I said,
- 1:48:56Speaker 6: they they're coming in from Philadelphia. Curisow is coming in
- 1:48:59Speaker 6: from Houston, so Curosau has a slightly better travel spot here,
- 1:49:04Speaker 6: but that's probably not gonna be enough.
- 1:49:06Speaker 5: This is in Gayha Field. There you go, gej. I
- 1:49:09Speaker 5: don't know what that is.
- 1:49:11Speaker 6: It's Arrowhead Stadium. I don't know why it's Gaha Field.
- 1:49:14Speaker 6: It's because Travis Kelsey is game.
- 1:49:18Speaker 5: I have no idea. I don't know.
- 1:49:21Speaker 6: But Ecuador obviously should win. I mean, I don't really
- 1:49:23Speaker 6: see a way to really attack this game. I mean,
- 1:49:26Speaker 6: Curisau is coming off an embarrassing loss, though, so you
- 1:49:29Speaker 6: gotta think they're gonna at least probably somewhat tighten up
- 1:49:32Speaker 6: their deepfense. So I don't really want to go with
- 1:49:33Speaker 6: Ecuador over their team total or something like that here.
- 1:49:37Speaker 6: I don't know, but Ecuador should win this game. It's
- 1:49:41Speaker 6: not a game that I really would want to get
- 1:49:43Speaker 6: involved in, but that's gonna do it.
- 1:49:46Speaker 5: Netherlands.
- 1:49:46Speaker 6: By the way, as I was saying, I think the
- 1:49:48Speaker 6: undermakes sense in Netherlands Sweden as well, because you're looking
- 1:49:51Speaker 6: at Netherlands coming off a four goal match and Sweden
- 1:49:54Speaker 6: coming off of a five to one match, and the
- 1:49:57Speaker 6: expected goals in those games were basically like one and zero,
- 1:50:02Speaker 6: so and under makes sense in Netherlands Sweden as well.
- 1:50:05Speaker 6: But I know I'm going with the Netherlands to pull
- 1:50:07Speaker 6: off the win there, which hopefully they can get it done.
- 1:50:10Speaker 6: But I also I do like the under in that one.
- 1:50:13Speaker 6: But the way that you'd have to attack that the
- 1:50:15Speaker 6: only number that I could see out there. You might
- 1:50:17Speaker 6: be able to find an alt line somewhere to try
- 1:50:20Speaker 6: to get it under a bigger number. The only thing
- 1:50:21Speaker 6: that I saw was under two and a half at
- 1:50:24Speaker 6: plus money, and I'm like, yeah, but or sorry, under
- 1:50:29Speaker 6: two and a half it like some big minus.
- 1:50:33Speaker 5: Or no, under two and a half it plus money
- 1:50:34Speaker 5: is what it was.
- 1:50:35Speaker 6: Yeah, but I was like, no, I want to go
- 1:50:37Speaker 6: under like three and a half and pay a little
- 1:50:38Speaker 6: bit more of a price for it, you know what
- 1:50:40Speaker 6: I mean, Like I'll pay minus money to get it
- 1:50:42Speaker 6: or under three. I should say, like I'd pay minus
- 1:50:45Speaker 6: money to get it under three. But every book had
- 1:50:47Speaker 6: two and a half at various prices, so I didn't
- 1:50:50Speaker 6: really want to do it. And the majority of games
- 1:50:53Speaker 6: I think have gone over that. I'm not sure the
- 1:50:56Speaker 6: majority of games have seen both teams score at the
- 1:50:59Speaker 6: very least though, but I don't know. I mean, also,
- 1:51:02Speaker 6: the second match I think is less under conducive than
- 1:51:06Speaker 6: the first match.
- 1:51:07Speaker 5: The first match teams can come in cold whatever.
- 1:51:09Speaker 6: Maybe I'm wrong about that many games going over, but
- 1:51:12Speaker 6: I think the first match would be more underconducible. Though
- 1:51:15Speaker 6: both these teams still went over in their first match.
- 1:51:18Speaker 6: You could also look at Sweden under their team total,
- 1:51:20Speaker 6: but you're gonna need them to get blanked in the game, Like,
- 1:51:23Speaker 6: if you do that, they could it's possible. They don't
- 1:51:26Speaker 6: score anything here because their offense. They put up five
- 1:51:29Speaker 6: goals in their first game and it was extremely misleading.
- 1:51:32Speaker 6: Their offense really did not do much, so they did
- 1:51:36Speaker 6: get some shots off, but still Sweden to go under
- 1:51:40Speaker 6: a half goal makes some sense in that game too,
- 1:51:43Speaker 6: but again you're I mean, a fluke goal can just
- 1:51:47Speaker 6: end that bet, so I don't really want to do that.
- 1:51:50Speaker 6: It's Indonesia and Monaca. What about Poland's Poland's flipped or something?
- 1:51:55Speaker 6: Romanian chad. I think there's some difference between those. I
- 1:51:58Speaker 6: think Romanian chad. I think one of them is a
- 1:52:01Speaker 6: wider flag than the other or something.
- 1:52:03Speaker 5: I don't know. I used to know flags. I don't
- 1:52:06Speaker 5: really remember, though.
- 1:52:08Speaker 6: I got Romania's flag right on Jeopardy last night, and
- 1:52:10Speaker 6: none of the contestants got it. I'm like you morons, Yeah,
- 1:52:19Speaker 6: Israel has the flag of Satan, all right, that's gonna
- 1:52:23Speaker 6: do it. I don't want to get this show nuked
- 1:52:25Speaker 6: here or whatever this channel. Uh, the plays today are
- 1:52:29Speaker 6: Milwaukee and Atlanta under in baseball, you might ever go
- 1:52:33Speaker 6: under seven on that, but I found a seven and
- 1:52:35Speaker 6: a half at that one book that is the book
- 1:52:37Speaker 6: that took over ESPN's book, if you know what I mean, Uh,
- 1:52:41Speaker 6: the scoreboard book, and then Metts in Philadelphia also under
- 1:52:47Speaker 6: the seven and a half. That's easier to find the
- 1:52:49Speaker 6: seven and a half on that one World Cup Netherlands
- 1:52:52Speaker 6: money line.
