- 1:14Speaker 3: pm Eastern Time. However, until the end of NBA season,
- 1:17Speaker 3: we got a couple of weeks left. We are doing
- 1:20Speaker 3: double duty, so the MLB show will be at five
- 1:23Speaker 3: pm Eastern instead of four pm Eastern. Just well, that

- 2:03Speaker 3: it's only three hundred bucks, but when you have seven
- 2:04Speaker 3: dollars and fifty cents invested into that contest, three hundred
- 2:07Speaker 3: bucks goes a long way.
- 2:08Speaker 2: That's a good Roy had tons of other winners.

- 2:25Speaker 3: out there.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Man.
- 2:25Speaker 3: They put the ball in play, they run, they feed
- 2:28Speaker 3: off each other. It's pretty fun. It's pretty cool to see.

- 2:35Speaker 3: little Detroit Tyer Homer. I mean that kid came in
- 2:38Speaker 3: help help some of our members make a ton of money.

- 2:45Speaker 3: a good day yesterday, a lot of fun. Baseball's back,

- 2:50Speaker 3: then we all of a sudden we get you know,
- 2:51Speaker 3: like realized reels in the running for the.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Big whopper over there Hunter k Man who first day
- 2:57Speaker 4: out the gate like man.
- 2:59Speaker 5: And it's always nice too to get get a shout out,
- 3:02Speaker 5: you know, when somebody wins, even if it's our own guy.
- 3:04Speaker 5: You know, hey, guys, fucking way to nail it on
- 3:06Speaker 5: the show makes you makes you feel good, maybe coming
- 3:10Speaker 5: right out hot, right out the gate. But hey, we're
- 3:12Speaker 5: gonna do it again today because you know what, nobody
- 3:14Speaker 5: cares about yesterday except the text man.
- 3:16Speaker 4: So other than that, we uh got a pretty decent slate.
- 3:20Speaker 4: What seven games?
- 3:21Speaker 5: We got the fucking Dodger So, I mean, nobody here
- 3:24Speaker 5: is gonna argue the fact Dodgers are always pretty much
- 3:26Speaker 5: gonna be the best team on the damn slate for
- 3:28Speaker 5: pretty much the most part, because they're pretty much ridiculous.
- 3:32Speaker 5: But either way, but yeah, a lot of fun, man,
- 3:35Speaker 5: love it. It's just always good to uh to catch
- 3:38Speaker 5: the winners over there. But yeah, man, that boy mcgonagh
- 3:41Speaker 5: go over there, you know, just kind of paying attention.
- 3:44Speaker 5: You know, I getting the sports cards obviously, and and
- 3:46Speaker 5: been buying his ship for for a little while because
- 3:48Speaker 5: that boy can rake. That boy can hit a baseball.
- 3:51Speaker 5: He doesn't strike out much. He's uh, he's seeing the ball.
- 3:54Speaker 5: You can just tell by the way he's standing there.
- 3:56Speaker 5: He's just he's just he's he's just flat. I mean,
- 3:59Speaker 5: he's good. That dude's gonna hit the ship out of
- 4:01Speaker 5: the ball. I mean he's twenty two hundred now, I
- 4:03Speaker 5: can tell you he's he's gonna He's probably the Tiger's
- 4:06Speaker 5: best hitter already, I'd have to.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Say, because we don't have too many contact hitters.
- 4:10Speaker 3: So you know, he's he's special over there playing shortstop.
- 4:14Speaker 3: I mean, he he's what Max Clark wants wants to be.
- 4:17Speaker 3: But Max Clark's is uh, he's got to put his
- 4:20Speaker 3: ego to side. I mean Max Clark has tons of potential.
- 4:22Speaker 3: I watched him down here in the in the high
- 4:24Speaker 3: a right place to face the t Rats right right
- 4:27Speaker 3: by my house here and in the Fox Cities in Wisconsin.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Obviously t Rats High a affiliate of the.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Brewers, and obviously Clark being in the Tigers organization. I
- 4:37Speaker 3: watched him last year and I think it was him
- 4:39Speaker 3: and he's made actually both playing That was pretty quite
- 4:43Speaker 3: the quite the sight to see. Obviously, two massive, massive
- 4:46Speaker 3: prospects in these organizations there. But yeah, McGonagall is definitely
- 4:51Speaker 3: a certified stud. He's on the slate here again. Twenty
- 4:53Speaker 3: two hundred on fan duel, thirty three hundred for a
- 4:57Speaker 3: shortstop on on DraftKings is just ridiculously.
- 5:00Speaker 2: He's not gonna get ownership again.
- 5:02Speaker 3: And hey, I mean we'll get to that when when
- 5:06Speaker 3: we talk about bats there.
- 5:07Speaker 2: But uh as Ji Rysen cracks a nice little uh
- 5:10Speaker 2: little uh Seltzer over there, or a little lucky one little.
- 5:14Speaker 5: Lucky, We're all gonna get lucky lucky in the sheets later.
- 5:19Speaker 3: Let's go absolutely absolutely we got to say to Hike
- 5:22Speaker 3: to a couple of people. Sean Sullivan shot up to
- 5:24Speaker 3: him being the early the early cruiser eleven one thirty
- 5:28Speaker 3: nine pm. He comes in here, drops a comment. We
- 5:30Speaker 3: got Philly fan, and we got Michael in here. Jason Turner,
- 5:33Speaker 3: Boston Sports Gator Nation. Jordan Newans might shout out to
- 5:36Speaker 3: uh to the brewers there, new Ones, fellow Wisconsin night there,
- 5:39Speaker 3: we got seats, he got Greg, we got Warren Shalou,
- 5:42Speaker 3: my boy in here. He'll probably be in the discord
- 5:44Speaker 3: tilting his face off in about five seconds. He's probably
- 5:47Speaker 3: already in the PGA channel over there, tilting his face
- 5:50Speaker 3: off about his Shaloup curse after he just won fifty
- 5:53Speaker 3: stacks the other night in the NBA streets to get
- 5:55Speaker 3: some of his cheddarback.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Greg. Everyone tuning in, sh.
- 6:00Speaker 3: All you guys, It's good to see a couple familiar
- 6:03Speaker 3: faces in here, in some new faces as well.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Again, we'll be on.
- 6:06Speaker 3: I'll be on these live streams three days a week, Monday,
- 6:09Speaker 3: Wednesday Friday. G Rising will be on with me a
- 6:12Speaker 3: bunch of the time as well. But we have you
- 6:14Speaker 3: covered all season long, Monday through Friday with livestream shows
- 6:17Speaker 3: and obviously all the content to follow. Real quick, I'll
- 6:21Speaker 3: just hit on the marketing here off the top. Go
- 6:25Speaker 3: ahead and pull it up. If you're not a member
- 6:26Speaker 3: yet and you're looking for a place to be. We're
- 6:29Speaker 3: really excited about this. We didn't have a single sport
- 6:31Speaker 3: package available last year. We know, obviously summertime is typically
- 6:35Speaker 3: a slower time of the year, right, You got pretty
- 6:37Speaker 3: much just PGA and MLB going on. Both of our
- 6:40Speaker 3: teams over here crushed both of the sports a little bias,
- 6:43Speaker 3: but I think the results speak for themselves. Yesterday alone
- 6:47Speaker 3: we made over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars alone
- 6:51Speaker 3: just with a couple of the wins that I saw,
- 6:54Speaker 3: including the discord there. So the nice thing about this
- 6:56Speaker 3: single sport here you can go to the website, go
- 7:00Speaker 3: to right here. If you go to ship at nation
- 7:02Speaker 3: dot com, you hit join the Nation, it'll pull you
- 7:05Speaker 3: to this screen right here, it'll start on the trial pack.
- 7:08Speaker 3: If you didn't do the trial yet, this is your
- 7:10Speaker 3: best bet. Five days, nineteen dollars. You get sabersim with
- 7:13Speaker 3: the ability to build up to one hundred fifty lineups
- 7:15Speaker 3: and do late swap, plus all of our other tools
- 7:17Speaker 3: for all of the other sports that we're gonna walk through.
- 7:20Speaker 3: But really the best bet is if you want to
- 7:23Speaker 3: just get in for MLB. All you guys here are
- 7:25Speaker 3: for MLB. Your work interest about MLB, MLB plus the optimizer,
- 7:30Speaker 3: which gives you Sabersim our partner and the ability to
- 7:33Speaker 3: build up your one hundred and fifty lineups plus late swap.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Why is this important? Why is this such a good deal?
- 7:38Speaker 2: You can get it for forty nine dollars a month.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Sabersim alone is more than that, and they do not
- 7:43Speaker 2: offer single sport packages. So you're gonna get our projections,
- 7:46Speaker 2: you're gonna get Sabersim's projections, you're gonna get the ability
- 7:48Speaker 2: to build up the one hundred and fifty lineups plus
- 7:51Speaker 2: late swap. If you just want content, only twenty nine dollars,
- 7:54Speaker 2: but if you go to the annual it does come
- 7:56Speaker 2: up to seventeen dollars a month. So no better time
- 7:59Speaker 2: than now.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Obviously, we've got Masters coming up here soon as well,
- 8:02Speaker 3: So if you want all sports, you can just hit
- 8:04Speaker 3: all Access. You can look at the plan break down
- 8:06Speaker 3: here and everything is listed for you. One hundred and
- 8:08Speaker 3: thirty nine dollars is the best value for all sports
- 8:12Speaker 3: one price. If you want head over there, check us out.
- 8:15Speaker 3: But gee, Riisean, let's jump into let's jump into the
- 8:20Speaker 3: slate here seven games slate we got the Dodgers on
- 8:23Speaker 3: the slate. Obviously the Dodgers are we're gonna talk about
- 8:25Speaker 3: talking about the Dodgers. Screw them and what they're doing.
- 8:27Speaker 3: I mean, they just buy everyone and their brother out there.
- 8:30Speaker 3: It's pretty pretty annoying at this point, but it is
- 8:33Speaker 3: what it is, and especially at this point of the
- 8:35Speaker 3: year when DraftKings hasn't kind of adjusted the pricing.
- 8:38Speaker 2: I mean, the Dodgers are just too cheap.
- 8:40Speaker 3: The prices the pitchers are too cheap for their given
- 8:44Speaker 3: matchups like Sandy al Kintara, who we're gonna talk about
- 8:46Speaker 3: at seventy five hundred, really makes it easy to afford
- 8:50Speaker 3: the Dodgers. And not only that, it's the best hitting
- 8:52Speaker 3: environment on slate tonight too. So all things point to
- 8:54Speaker 3: the Dodgers. But we all know that, everybody knows that.
- 8:57Speaker 3: How are we going to kind of navigate that. We'll
- 8:59Speaker 3: do our best to kind of talk through that. Let's
- 9:01Speaker 3: go pitchers like we always do. We're gonna go eight
- 9:04Speaker 3: k and above. So we got some good names. Let
- 9:06Speaker 3: me go ahead and get rid of the removed players
- 9:09Speaker 3: down here real quick and just do okay, let's just
- 9:13Speaker 3: do this. I yeah, so I got all the all
- 9:15Speaker 3: the pitchers in here, as you can see that are
- 9:17Speaker 3: on the screen, A k got Gavin Williams all the
- 9:20Speaker 3: way up to the top dog, the lone ace, if
- 9:22Speaker 3: you will, Chris Sale. However, in all the pitching metrics,
- 9:26Speaker 3: Cole Reagan's kind of dunked on Chris Sale last year
- 9:29Speaker 3: in all of the the underlying metrics he det dealt
- 9:32Speaker 3: with some injuries and things like that. Chris Sale, at
- 9:35Speaker 3: his current age seems to be showing no sign of
- 9:38Speaker 3: slowing down. He had an incredible season last year. Gets
- 9:42Speaker 3: a pretty solid matchup here at home again for the
- 9:44Speaker 3: home open there in Atlanta. So talk about these top
- 9:47Speaker 3: two Chris Sale and Reagan's all the way down to
- 9:49Speaker 3: Gavin Williams.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Really hit on Chris Shiale the top who's gonna be
- 9:53Speaker 2: pretty chalky.
- 9:54Speaker 3: And then it looks like Kirby and Gosman are going
- 9:56Speaker 3: to be the two other guys that are gonna get ownership.
- 9:59Speaker 3: The pivots up in this range, They're going to be Raggings,
- 10:00Speaker 3: balld As and Gavin Williams.
- 10:03Speaker 2: From what the looks of ownership look to be. What
- 10:06Speaker 2: do you see here from pitching?
- 10:09Speaker 5: I mean, first off, when you look at pitching. I
- 10:10Speaker 5: mean predominantly I've been playing, you know, I play on
- 10:12Speaker 5: fan Duel. But just the pricing of the two slate,
- 10:16Speaker 5: both slates is on both sites, is at so different,
- 10:19Speaker 5: you know, it seems like there's a little bit more,
- 10:22Speaker 5: especially with Elegantera. He's he's pretty much price a little
- 10:25Speaker 5: higher over there, so he isn't such a value as
- 10:27Speaker 5: he is over at DK. But I mean, you start
- 10:31Speaker 5: up at this top, I mean Chris Sale, do he's
- 10:33Speaker 5: Chris Sale. He's I mean, the guy's what mid thirty
- 10:35Speaker 5: thirty six, thirty seven years old, he's still bringing it.
- 10:38Speaker 5: I mean he uh, he just doesn't have a really
- 10:42Speaker 5: good matchup against Kansas City that I like.
- 10:44Speaker 4: But I don't know.
- 10:45Speaker 5: I think there's a point in time where certain pitchers
- 10:48Speaker 5: become matchup proof.
- 10:49Speaker 4: And are we there yet with Chris Sale? Are we
- 10:51Speaker 4: there yet? In the past? You know, I can't really say.
- 10:53Speaker 5: I mean, you look at the lineup here that Casey's
- 10:56Speaker 5: going to be rolling out. You got Mikhail Garcia that
- 10:59Speaker 5: doesn't strike out all that much, and everybody else is
- 11:02Speaker 5: a couple percentage points below the twenty two percent line.
- 11:06Speaker 5: So I mean you're sitting here looking everybody's about twenty
- 11:09Speaker 5: percent twenty one percent, So it's not like they're They're
- 11:12Speaker 5: just I'm not going to be overly enamored with the
- 11:14Speaker 5: fact that the Royals seem like they haven't struck out
- 11:16Speaker 5: in the past, especially when I got a guy like
- 11:18Speaker 5: Chris Saal over there on the mound who can wrap
- 11:21Speaker 5: up a pretty big score pretty quickly for us. So
- 11:24Speaker 5: I think sales in play, I mean, like he's ninety
- 11:26Speaker 5: seven hundred, he should be ten thy seven hundred in
- 11:29Speaker 5: my opinion, and right down there with Reagan's. Reagan's was
- 11:31Speaker 5: hurt most of you know that twenty five there, So
- 11:35Speaker 5: I I mean, this kid's also another guy that could
- 11:37Speaker 5: throw a thirty percent strikeout. I mean, in a season,
- 11:40Speaker 5: he could be up in the mid you know, close
- 11:41Speaker 5: to thirty percent, twenty nine, twenty eight percent. This guy
- 11:44Speaker 5: definitely can bring it. Atlanta's definitely got some opportunities for
- 11:48Speaker 5: us to get some strikeouts. Which in that game too,
- 11:53Speaker 5: I'll tell you, there's nothing better than having two studs
- 11:56Speaker 5: just flat out going back and forth on the mound
- 11:59Speaker 5: because generally one is gonna push the other. They know
- 12:02Speaker 5: it's going to be a low scoring game. I think
- 12:04Speaker 5: you're gonna see a game here in the first five
- 12:06Speaker 5: I wouldn't doubt if you only see one or two runs.
- 12:10Speaker 5: But I mean, you just look over here at the Braves.
- 12:12Speaker 5: As I was mentioning, the k percentage of Kunya is
- 12:14Speaker 5: at twenty eight and a half percent against lefties, Olsen
- 12:17Speaker 5: twenty eight and a half percent. Him's pretty high. Whites
- 12:21Speaker 5: of twenty five percent. So I mean, you got two
- 12:23Speaker 5: of their bigger bats in Acuni and Olsen, who are
- 12:26Speaker 5: almost at twenty nine percent strikeout rates.
- 12:28Speaker 4: So I think.
- 12:29Speaker 5: Reagan's is in a pretty good spot. I like the
- 12:32Speaker 5: price difference I get. I save seven hundred on Reagan's.
- 12:35Speaker 5: I'd almost throw them too. Is about the same pitcher
- 12:37Speaker 5: to me, I think, you know, obviously both being lefties,
- 12:39Speaker 5: maybe that's why my brain's saying that, but I'd put
- 12:43Speaker 5: them in the same type of range. I think they
- 12:44Speaker 5: both have the same type ceiling. I think they both
- 12:47Speaker 5: have about the same type floor. But then as you
- 12:49Speaker 5: move down a little bit, like a guy like Framber.
- 12:52Speaker 5: Framber's a guy to me that will do it maybe
- 12:54Speaker 5: two out of ten times, get us there and help us,
- 12:57Speaker 5: you know, kill a slate. Framber's more of a ground
- 12:59Speaker 5: ball type pitch, and we look at San Diego. San
- 13:01Speaker 5: Diego isn't a team in the past that really strikes
- 13:03Speaker 5: out all that much. So I'm a little concerned about Framber,
- 13:07Speaker 5: But it is a decent pivot off those two guys
- 13:10Speaker 5: up top, because frambur can Ken get it rolling, and
- 13:13Speaker 5: we've seen in the past over there with the Astros.
- 13:15Speaker 5: Maybe he comes out today in his Tiger debut and
- 13:18Speaker 5: does fairly well. Kirby I'm having a hard time with.
- 13:21Speaker 5: I just don't think I can get up to Kirby.
- 13:23Speaker 5: The Indians are a team we just haven't liked to
- 13:26Speaker 5: really mess with over the time.
- 13:28Speaker 4: You know, we know that they haven't struck out very
- 13:30Speaker 4: much in the past.
- 13:31Speaker 5: Just a team that we generally don't like to to
- 13:34Speaker 5: chase after. I mean, you look at some of their
- 13:36Speaker 5: K percentages. Stephen Kwan, we know doesn't strike out. He's
- 13:39Speaker 5: at eight and a half percent, Jose Ramirez twelve percent.
- 13:42Speaker 5: So I mean, you do have a few guys in
- 13:44Speaker 5: the middle of the lineup strike out. Naylor, Hoskins, We'll
- 13:47Speaker 5: have to see who who if that lineup is is
- 13:50Speaker 5: out yet. But still I think you know, Kirby, Kirby
- 13:53Speaker 5: for me is just I'm just not not there today.
- 13:56Speaker 5: I think there's other guys we could look at now.
- 13:59Speaker 5: I think Gossman's a guy that is, to me, is
- 14:01Speaker 5: kind of like the wild card here for me, like
- 14:05Speaker 5: by no means what I say is safe. But on
- 14:07Speaker 5: the other hand, I think he's more of a risk
- 14:10Speaker 5: type reward kind of guy. I think he can definitely
- 14:12Speaker 5: get the job donn He's got more of a what
- 14:14Speaker 5: almost twenty six percent strike out lean to the right side.
- 14:17Speaker 5: So you know, we got guys like lang Lear's he's
- 14:20Speaker 5: actually below average. We got Max Munsey over there thirty percent.
- 14:24Speaker 5: If Denzel Claik plays, he's pretty high strike up percentage.
- 14:27Speaker 5: But I mean, you know, Gossman's a guy that can
- 14:30Speaker 5: definitely get the job done. He's got you know, minus
- 14:32Speaker 5: one seventy seven. Uh, he's a big favorite over there
- 14:35Speaker 5: at home. So I don't mind Gossman, but especially more
- 14:39Speaker 5: so over there on DK than I would on FANDLE.
- 14:41Speaker 5: He's a little bit higher priced over on FANDLE with
- 14:43Speaker 5: some of the higher priced arms, So I think.
- 14:45Speaker 4: That is kind of a guy that brings in a wildcard.
- 14:48Speaker 5: Now, Williams, I'm not really interested in going up against
- 14:50Speaker 5: Seattle either over there out there against that lineup.
- 14:53Speaker 4: So I'll I'll leave Williams alone.
- 14:55Speaker 5: But man, really up at the top, for me, it's
- 14:56Speaker 5: sale in Reagan's and I think you could throw Gosman
- 14:59Speaker 5: in there as well, And if you really wanted to
- 15:02Speaker 5: kind of pivot, I think the pivot is for me
- 15:03Speaker 5: is Framber off of those guys. Framber is gonna probably
- 15:07Speaker 5: come in less than ten percent. He'll probably be six
- 15:09Speaker 5: seven percent owned, and uh, you know, on on as
- 15:12Speaker 5: I said, there's days he could definitely keep up with
- 15:14Speaker 5: those two.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Boys up at the top.
- 15:15Speaker 5: But man, I think you're gonna have one hell of
- 15:17Speaker 5: a pitching duel over there in Kansas City and Atlanta
- 15:20Speaker 5: that one. If you like pitching, I think that's a
- 15:21Speaker 5: game you should tune into on your MLB app tonight.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:25Speaker 3: No, I like a lot of what you said there.
- 15:26Speaker 3: We differ a little bit at the bottom. I'll start
- 15:29Speaker 3: with Reagans. Reagan's my favorite pitcher on the board. If
- 15:32Speaker 3: you look back at his twenty twenty four numbers, his
- 15:33Speaker 3: k rate was up at thirty eight percent. Now, I
- 15:36Speaker 3: don't think he's gonna be a thirty eight thirty five
- 15:38Speaker 3: percent k rate kind of guy.
- 15:39Speaker 2: We saw that with Strider when he kind of kind
- 15:42Speaker 2: of came on scene.
- 15:43Speaker 3: I don't think Reagan's is gonna be that, but I
- 15:44Speaker 3: do think he's gonna be a right around thirty percent
- 15:47Speaker 3: k rate guy. He was injured most of the year
- 15:49Speaker 3: last year. I just like the matchup better for Reagans
- 15:54Speaker 3: then Chris Sale. You get seven hundred dollars discount and
- 15:56Speaker 3: you get ownership discount. I mean, look at the back
- 15:58Speaker 3: half of this lineup. Four of the Braves, I mean,
- 16:01Speaker 3: Eli White strikes out a ton, Matt Olsen still strikes
- 16:03Speaker 3: out a ton. Even a Kunya Struck struck out a
- 16:05Speaker 3: ton last year against left handed pitching. Yeah, he has
- 16:08Speaker 3: power concerns. Austin Riley, Eli White, Jonah Hi, and Michael Harris.
- 16:12Speaker 3: I mean, the really the only they got three guys
- 16:15Speaker 3: in their lineup that didn't strike out a lot last
- 16:16Speaker 3: year against left handed pitching at home, and that was
- 16:19Speaker 3: Drake Baldwin, Albie's and newly acquired Mauricio Debaon.
- 16:23Speaker 2: So I think Reagan's is great. I like him a ton.
- 16:27Speaker 3: He's my favorite sp up at the top. If choosing
- 16:30Speaker 3: between him and Sale, I think Sale is fine. I'm
- 16:32Speaker 3: just a little worried these Royals get pesky. They don't
- 16:35Speaker 3: have a ton of power, but they also just put
- 16:37Speaker 3: the ball in play a ton. They don't strike out.
- 16:39Speaker 2: As a team.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Last year against left handed pitching on the road, they
- 16:41Speaker 3: had eighteen percent k rate against lefties. Now, obviously, Chris
- 16:45Speaker 3: Sale has showed multiple times last year that matchups didn't
- 16:49Speaker 3: really matter.
- 16:49Speaker 2: It didn't really matter. If he's on, he's on. I
- 16:52Speaker 2: think he's fine, But at the ownership discount and who
- 16:56Speaker 2: I like better, I just give me, give me Cole Reagan's.
- 16:58Speaker 2: I have no.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Issue or thought of his leash. I mean, in his
- 17:03Speaker 3: last spring training start, he threw eighty six pitches, so
- 17:06Speaker 3: he should be stretched out. There should be no concern.
- 17:09Speaker 3: You're really not gonna see much of one hundred pitches.
- 17:11Speaker 3: I was shocked yesterday when Miz came back out and
- 17:14Speaker 3: went to that ninety mid nineties range. You're gonna be
- 17:17Speaker 3: looking at eighty to ninety pitches for a majority of
- 17:19Speaker 3: these guys, at least the first two or three starts
- 17:21Speaker 3: or so to start the season here. So from a
- 17:24Speaker 3: leash standpoint, I have no issues with Cole Ragan's. He's
- 17:27Speaker 3: my favorite sp one on this whole slate. I don't
- 17:30Speaker 3: love Framber, but for two hundred dollars more at similar ownership,
- 17:33Speaker 3: I can just get to Cole Wagans. So don't really
- 17:36Speaker 3: like that. George Kirby, I think is great is a
- 17:39Speaker 3: solid play. Yeah, the Indians or Guardians, whatever you want
- 17:42Speaker 3: to call them, we call them the Indians here on
- 17:44Speaker 3: the show. I'm sorry to all the trolls in the
- 17:47Speaker 3: chat that don't like that. There's plenty of other shows
- 17:49Speaker 3: out there that you can watch if that's the case.
- 17:52Speaker 3: But Framber, I mean, yeah, he can always have the strikeouts.
- 17:55Speaker 3: It's just he's he's a ground ball guy typically can
- 17:58Speaker 3: can ease his way into kind of a qualities. I
- 18:01Speaker 3: prefer him more so, like on a site like Fanuel,
- 18:04Speaker 3: where the quality start means so much. So I don't
- 18:07Speaker 3: love him a ton. But George Kirby pitching in that
- 18:09Speaker 3: ballpark and looking at the weather, I mean it's like
- 18:12Speaker 3: fifty degrees with wind blown in out there in and
- 18:14Speaker 3: already Pitchers Park. I mean, yeah, it's starting at like
- 18:19Speaker 3: mid fifties and gonna drop into the.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Forties the duration of that game.
- 18:23Speaker 3: I mean, if I'm the Guardians if I'm the mayor,
- 18:26Speaker 3: do you really want to go out there and play
- 18:27Speaker 3: spring baseball and fifty degrees? Or do you want to
- 18:29Speaker 3: just hurry up, get through the game and move out
- 18:31Speaker 3: of the next one. Right, you got a long season
- 18:33Speaker 3: ahead of you. So for me, Kirby just with the
- 18:36Speaker 3: weather alone makes him a solid play. Plus he's been
- 18:39Speaker 3: solid at home. It's a good pitcher's ballpark. Kevin Gosman,
- 18:42Speaker 3: I think you can play both sides of it. I
- 18:44Speaker 3: think he's fine. He showed last year he was a
- 18:46Speaker 3: big pivotal piece to why Toronto made the World Series
- 18:49Speaker 3: run they did.
- 18:50Speaker 2: He goes long into games.
- 18:52Speaker 3: He's probably got the best leash of anyone on this
- 18:56Speaker 3: on this late outside of maybe a Sandy Elkintara. However,
- 19:00Speaker 3: he is gonna give up occasional power, so I think
- 19:02Speaker 3: in tournaments definitely play both sides of that one. Gosman
- 19:06Speaker 3: would not be shocked to go out there and see
- 19:07Speaker 3: him strike out seven to ten of these hitters, but
- 19:10Speaker 3: give up a home runner two to a guy like
- 19:12Speaker 3: Nick Kurtz or something like that. So I think Gosman
- 19:16Speaker 3: is fine. The guy I've actually interested in is Gavin Williams.
- 19:20Speaker 3: I think Gavin Williams is gonna take a big step
- 19:22Speaker 3: up this year. I'm a believer in his talents. He's
- 19:24Speaker 3: got electric strikeout stuff, but he gets wild at times. However,
- 19:29Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Seattle, We're gonna play them a ton.
- 19:32Speaker 3: They got a really good lineup. They do have strikeouts
- 19:34Speaker 3: in there, and it's just the weather. I mean, it's
- 19:37Speaker 3: the best pictures. One of the best pitchers ballparks. It's
- 19:39Speaker 3: fifty degrees wind blowing in same thing for George Kirby.
- 19:43Speaker 3: I think Gavin Williams, and not only that, he's a pivot.
- 19:45Speaker 3: He sandwiched between Gosman Sheehan, Michael King, and Sandy el Kantar,
- 19:50Speaker 3: who are all gonna be higher owned. There's a lot
- 19:53Speaker 3: of holatility with him, but at eight k he has
- 19:55Speaker 3: the strikeout ability in the strikeout upside to match a
- 19:59Speaker 3: guy up at the top. A Ragan's like a Chris
- 20:01Speaker 3: sale If if he's on with with his strike on ability,
- 20:05Speaker 3: my friend's over at ballpark pile looking at their stuff.
- 20:09Speaker 3: He's the fourth favorite on the slate to report record
- 20:13Speaker 3: six plus k's.
- 20:14Speaker 2: So I think Gavin Williams is pretty interesting in tournaments.
- 20:17Speaker 3: I don't think many people get there, and from a
- 20:20Speaker 3: projection standpoint, I mean, he's right in line with it
- 20:22Speaker 3: with the rest of these guys. So I think he's
- 20:24Speaker 3: really interesting at a K and probably one of my
- 20:26Speaker 3: sleeper picks in tournaments there.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Below a K we got to talk about.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Obviously, Sandy al Kintara gonna be the highest on pitcher
- 20:33Speaker 3: on the slate. He had to think of him as
- 20:34Speaker 3: the Mizerowski if yesterday. Now, I'm not saying Sandy's gonna
- 20:37Speaker 3: go out there and throw a one run eleven strikeout
- 20:41Speaker 3: outing like like miz did, but he's facing the Rockies.
- 20:44Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about this all year long. It's roulette,
- 20:46Speaker 3: spin the dice, roll the dice. Don't worry about who
- 20:48Speaker 3: who the name is for the most part, facing this
- 20:50Speaker 3: Rockies team, they're they're gonna be the worst team in baseball.
- 20:53Speaker 2: They were last year. I know.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Underdog tweeted yesterday, Hey, it's opening the day the Rockies
- 20:57Speaker 3: already eliminated from playoff contention.
- 20:59Speaker 2: That was pretty fun. But Alcantara, he looked really good
- 21:02Speaker 2: last year.
- 21:03Speaker 3: His numbers are not as bad as what they seem
- 21:06Speaker 3: because the first half of last year he was horrendous.
- 21:08Speaker 3: The second half last year he was borderline elite. So
- 21:11Speaker 3: I think he's fantastic. Obviously, don't need me to tell
- 21:14Speaker 3: you that he's seventy five hundred. He's way too cheap
- 21:16Speaker 3: at home in a pitcher's ballpark there in Miami against
- 21:19Speaker 3: the worst team in baseball, not much more to say. However,
- 21:22Speaker 3: when you do play him and you pair him with
- 21:24Speaker 3: like a Chris Sale and you go on and play
- 21:26Speaker 3: the Dodgers and then you fill in your value bats
- 21:28Speaker 3: with the Miami Marlins, well now you just played the
- 21:30Speaker 3: same team as everybody else. So I would be cognizant
- 21:33Speaker 3: and worry some of when you're using Sandy, how maybe
- 21:36Speaker 3: you maybe you pivot to like a Toronto offense, or
- 21:38Speaker 3: maybe you pivot to like a Tigers offense or something
- 21:41Speaker 3: like that, like one of these other offense that that
- 21:44Speaker 3: could get you there differently. So Sandy, great play, But
- 21:47Speaker 3: talk about these other guys here down g Risen Sheehan.
- 21:51Speaker 3: I know people are expecting big things from him, to
- 21:53Speaker 3: take a big step off for the Dodgers. He's worried
- 21:56Speaker 3: someometh to me against that matchup against the the coming
- 22:00Speaker 3: Backs there with all the lefty power they have, he
- 22:02Speaker 3: struggles with lefty, he struggling with fly balls, struggles with
- 22:04Speaker 3: some power stuff.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Michael King fits the bill that I talked about earlier
- 22:08Speaker 2: with Gavin Williams. Michael King really good ballpark to pitch in.
- 22:12Speaker 3: He has elite strico stuff when he's on, but when
- 22:15Speaker 3: he's off, he's gonna walk four or five guys, get
- 22:17Speaker 3: into trouble, get pulled quick and san Diego go right
- 22:19Speaker 3: to that bullpen, which they like a ton so hit
- 22:22Speaker 3: on him. And then the cheap guy down that people
- 22:25Speaker 3: want to go to is Mike Burrows. Coming over to
- 22:28Speaker 3: Houston here from Pittsburgh. Looked pretty solid last year, had
- 22:31Speaker 3: pretty good numbers in Pittsburgh. Now gets a better supporting
- 22:34Speaker 3: cast around him and behind him in the field.
- 22:37Speaker 2: What do you see down here as value pitchers on
- 22:39Speaker 2: the slate?
- 22:41Speaker 5: Yeah, Sandy definitely ala Quintara is Elkinara.
- 22:47Speaker 4: I like saying his last name.
- 22:48Speaker 5: I mean, anybody, as you mentioned, could be playing the Rockies,
- 22:51Speaker 5: they're gonna be something that we're gonna target. But I mean,
- 22:53Speaker 5: Sandy's a ground ball guy. I mean, he's probably not
- 22:56Speaker 5: gonna get in too much trouble. But I mean, just
- 23:00Speaker 5: because I just I really don't like him. I mean,
- 23:02Speaker 5: I'm almost kind of in the mindset I'm just gonna
- 23:05Speaker 5: I'm fading him. I'm just gonna everybody else play him today.
- 23:07Speaker 5: I honestly, I think there's a couple other spots we
- 23:10Speaker 5: can play. I actually kind of think the Rockies might
- 23:13Speaker 5: be a spot that I might wanna maybe look at
- 23:15Speaker 5: a little bit for a long, you know, for my
- 23:17Speaker 5: kind of low owned team.
- 23:19Speaker 4: Today, I'm gonna play three teams.
- 23:20Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna I'm trying to decide, as I
- 23:23Speaker 5: told you one the show started. I think like somebody
- 23:25Speaker 5: like the Angels, the Marlins, the Rockies or or somebody
- 23:29Speaker 5: like that that nobody's thinking of today.
- 23:31Speaker 4: I think could just put up the game we need
- 23:34Speaker 4: to win.
- 23:34Speaker 5: And I think, you know, especially with the Dodgers being
- 23:36Speaker 5: as chalky as there, I think that's how we maybe
- 23:38Speaker 5: get different a little bit, no Sandy, you know, I
- 23:42Speaker 5: think is kind of what I want to do.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Now.
- 23:43Speaker 5: If you want to look at Michael King, I don't
- 23:45Speaker 5: mind that at all, even going against my Tigers, because
- 23:47Speaker 5: the Tigers do have some strikeouts in that lineup. I
- 23:50Speaker 5: mean Riley Green, I mean he strikes out quite a bit.
- 23:53Speaker 5: He's usually good for two a game. Torkosen strikes out
- 23:56Speaker 5: quite a bit, Parker Meto strikes out quite a bit,
- 23:59Speaker 5: bas strikes out quite a bit. Cole Keiths looked like shit.
- 24:02Speaker 5: Carpenter strikes out. I mean the only guy that really
- 24:04Speaker 5: don't strike out is Labor. So I mean you're you're right.
- 24:07Speaker 5: If King is on, he could rack up seven to
- 24:08Speaker 5: eight k's pretty quickly in in five innings. So I
- 24:12Speaker 5: think King is definitely a guy, uh that you want
- 24:15Speaker 5: to look at. And then you mentioned you mentioned Burrows.
- 24:18Speaker 5: I think Burrows is interesting because one the Angels we
- 24:22Speaker 5: know are a team for a righty. Last year that
- 24:25Speaker 5: we would target the Angels all the time with with
- 24:28Speaker 5: a righty we thought had decent strikeout capability. I mean,
- 24:32Speaker 5: you know you're looking at his projected k's.
- 24:33Speaker 4: I mean he's looking at about six and a half
- 24:35Speaker 4: k's in this game.
- 24:37Speaker 5: I mean, you look at these guys here over here,
- 24:39Speaker 5: Netto twenty six, Trout thirty two, Solar thirty thirty, I mean,
- 24:43Speaker 5: Adel twenty seven, Ojape the thirty three.
- 24:47Speaker 4: I mean, man, they're not barely over.
- 24:49Speaker 5: These dudes are like several points over the twenty two
- 24:53Speaker 5: percent line. So to me, It's like, man, if this
- 24:55Speaker 5: guy could can get the job done here as cheap
- 24:58Speaker 5: as he is, I mean, I'd rather throw that dart
- 25:00Speaker 5: there on actually both sites than actually Sandiella Cantaro and
- 25:04Speaker 5: let everybody else play him.
- 25:05Speaker 4: I think I'd just rather be a little bit different.
- 25:07Speaker 5: I mean, we got seven games, and we kind of
- 25:08Speaker 5: have a heavy Chalky Dodgers, so we're gonna have to
- 25:11Speaker 5: make a stance somewhere. And I think on today the
- 25:14Speaker 5: pitching side for me is more better for me to
- 25:16Speaker 5: make a stance and kind of fade maybe some of
- 25:18Speaker 5: these top guys the sales in the Reagans night, because
- 25:20Speaker 5: I don't feel there's as many big point land mines
- 25:23Speaker 5: today in the pitching realm as we even saw yesterday
- 25:26Speaker 5: with all those sp ones, you know, like there was
- 25:28Speaker 5: just too many for me. I knew a couple of
- 25:30Speaker 5: them were gonna actually bomb, which they did, you know,
- 25:32Speaker 5: Crochet Brown.
- 25:34Speaker 4: But I mean, can sale have a big game?
- 25:37Speaker 5: Sure you're looking at a double, you know, maybe you
- 25:39Speaker 5: want to pay down on a little bit. Man, I
- 25:41Speaker 5: think I'll tell you I the more I think about it,
- 25:43Speaker 5: in AG's I think Burrows is the way to go.
- 25:46Speaker 5: I mean, I think he'd be the guy just because
- 25:48Speaker 5: the Angels strike out so much. You got a Houston
- 25:50Speaker 5: team at home that actually some people, you know, I
- 25:53Speaker 5: think are going to be in a pretty good position
- 25:55Speaker 5: today against Kakuchi.
- 25:56Speaker 4: So you know, I think he could get a win.
- 25:59Speaker 5: You know, can get us a quality start, that's questionable,
- 26:02Speaker 5: but man, I think he could get us. I think
- 26:04Speaker 5: he get us where we need to be, especially at
- 26:06Speaker 5: sixty five hundred at the bottom. I mean, I'm not
- 26:08Speaker 5: interested in Nelson. I mean, there's no need to get
- 26:11Speaker 5: that cute and Kyle Freeland, no thanks. I mean, I'm
- 26:15Speaker 5: I'm not interested in him either, But I mean, so
- 26:17Speaker 5: for me, really, you just kind of look it from
- 26:20Speaker 5: the back.
- 26:20Speaker 4: You look back.
- 26:21Speaker 5: Everybody's gonna play Sale, everybody's gonna probably load up on Reagan's,
- 26:25Speaker 5: everybody's gonna play alcan Terra. So I'm thinking, all right,
- 26:27Speaker 5: Burrows is the pivot down below?
- 26:30Speaker 4: Or King?
- 26:30Speaker 5: I think you got two chances there at an opportunity.
- 26:33Speaker 5: I think King has a higher ceiling than Burrows does.
- 26:36Speaker 5: But uh, I mean, I think there's some opportunities on
- 26:39Speaker 5: the slate for us to get a little bit different.
- 26:41Speaker 5: But man, I think I'm gonna leave Sandy alone. I'm
- 26:44Speaker 5: gonna let everybody else stick, let them stick their feet
- 26:47Speaker 5: in that water, and I'm just gonna pass. I think
- 26:50Speaker 5: to me as our as our guy used to say,
- 26:52Speaker 5: I mean, has some donkey chalk man. I just I'm
- 26:55Speaker 5: I think I'm out in aids. I honestly, I just
- 26:57Speaker 5: don't have a good feeling. But I kind of feel
- 26:59Speaker 5: like he's Matt Boyd from yesterday. Like after I thought
- 27:02Speaker 5: of it, I'm like, fuck, did I did? Was I
- 27:04Speaker 5: even thinking? The dude never strikes out hardly anybody. I mean,
- 27:07Speaker 5: we were playing because we were enamored with the you know,
- 27:09Speaker 5: the matchup and the wind, and I was thinking, you
- 27:11Speaker 5: know what, I'm not buying in that ship and no more,
- 27:13Speaker 5: dude still can't strike you out, you know which we need.
- 27:16Speaker 5: So I think that's what I'm kind of worried about
- 27:18Speaker 5: here with Alcantara and Uh, I think we got some
- 27:21Speaker 5: better options below.
- 27:22Speaker 4: That kid definitely out camp.
- 27:23Speaker 5: I think there's two guys down there can okay Alcantara
- 27:27Speaker 5: in this in this late tonight.
- 27:30Speaker 3: Yeah, So what I'll tell you is Chris Sale and Uh,
- 27:32Speaker 3: Sandy Alcintara, Cole Reagan's and Gavin Williams or Michael King
- 27:37Speaker 3: for the same price, and you save some money and
- 27:39Speaker 3: you get extra you get extra cheese in your pocket
- 27:42Speaker 3: to go spind up bats.
- 27:43Speaker 2: I mean the ownership.
- 27:45Speaker 3: I mean you talking like single untry three max, like
- 27:49Speaker 3: the one twenty one single entry twenty five dollars single untry.
- 27:52Speaker 3: Chris Sale and Sandy are probably going to be pushing
- 27:56Speaker 3: fifty sixty percent.
- 27:57Speaker 2: I mean Sandy for sure.
- 27:59Speaker 3: So that pairing right there, jumping down to Cole Reagan's
- 28:02Speaker 3: is gonna be half the ownership of Chris Sale and
- 28:04Speaker 3: going to like a Gavin Williams, who I like a
- 28:07Speaker 3: ton or a Michael King right there as pivots off
- 28:10Speaker 3: of Sandy or down to Mike Burrows. I mean, right there,
- 28:13Speaker 3: you're instantly different. Now you can play all the Dodgers
- 28:16Speaker 3: bats you want. I obviously want to play the Dodgers.
- 28:19Speaker 3: That's the spot where I'm not looking away from. They're
- 28:21Speaker 3: far and away the best offense on the slate. We
- 28:23Speaker 3: have a shortened slate. It's good hitting, whether they're they
- 28:26Speaker 3: got a bad bullpen that they're going up against for Arizona.
- 28:28Speaker 3: Nelson isn't anything horrible by any means, but it's just
- 28:32Speaker 3: the Dodgers offense.
- 28:33Speaker 2: It's David versus Goliath there.
- 28:34Speaker 3: So for me already knowing going into the slate, I'm
- 28:37Speaker 3: gonna be on the Dodgers' bats, There's just no way
- 28:40Speaker 3: around it. I'm looking for pivots on the pitchers aspect.
- 28:44Speaker 3: So I think Cole Reagan's, I think Gavin Williams, I
- 28:47Speaker 3: think Michael King and Mike Burrows are those kind of
- 28:50Speaker 3: four separators from the pitching standpoint that can get you
- 28:54Speaker 3: different and match the output of these other guys. I mean,
- 28:57Speaker 3: none of these guys are bulletproof by any means. We
- 28:58Speaker 3: saw what happened to Paul Skian, yes today, nobody saw
- 29:01Speaker 3: that coming. And if it can happen to to to
- 29:05Speaker 3: mister us a right Livvy Dunn, I mean, I know
- 29:07Speaker 3: he's got some things behind the scenes that maybe he's
- 29:10Speaker 3: he's less focused, right, I mean, if we were all
- 29:13Speaker 3: all there dealing with the Livy done behind the scenes,
- 29:15Speaker 3: maybe maybe we'd be less focused too on pitching. But
- 29:20Speaker 3: I say that all to say I like some of
- 29:21Speaker 3: these contrarian options. Reagan's being my favorite. I'm different than you.
- 29:27Speaker 3: With Kevin Williams, I like him a lot Michael King,
- 29:30Speaker 3: Mike Burrows are kind of the four sleepers, and then
- 29:32Speaker 3: Chris Sale and Sandy would be the main guys.
- 29:35Speaker 2: I'm looking to kind of round it out for me.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Go ahead and rank your top five.
- 29:40Speaker 5: Yeah, and then real quick just to add on to that,
- 29:41Speaker 5: you know, like Naves and I aren't saying like we
- 29:43Speaker 5: sometimes when we're talking the way we do, we're trying
- 29:45Speaker 5: to go. It's not saying we don't even like the
- 29:47Speaker 5: player agree with, you know, like how you know that
- 29:50Speaker 5: it could be chocking. We're just trying to explain sometimes
- 29:52Speaker 5: in certain situations on how we like maybe like to
- 29:55Speaker 5: attack it, like where we feel like there are viable
- 29:58Speaker 5: options to play against what everybody else is trying to play.
- 30:01Speaker 5: That's how you win in baseball dfs, Like you know
- 30:04Speaker 5: you're gonna lose twenty days, you know at times, and
- 30:07Speaker 5: then what you want to do is win the one
- 30:09Speaker 5: and the big one, right and it covers everything, like
- 30:11Speaker 5: like that's how I play baseball. I'm not trying to
- 30:14Speaker 5: mind cash all the damn time. I want to win, Nate,
- 30:17Speaker 5: so you know, like fading some of these chalkier pitchers
- 30:19Speaker 5: and you can't play like if you start with Alikantara
- 30:22Speaker 5: and have four or five Dodgers, You're you're pretty much
- 30:24Speaker 5: in the same boat as like seventy percent of the
- 30:26Speaker 5: damn people like, you know, So to me, I just
- 30:28Speaker 5: kind of like mix it up a little bit and
- 30:30Speaker 5: you don't always have to get too crazy, too cute.
- 30:33Speaker 5: But as far as the five Pitchers go, for me,
- 30:35Speaker 5: I think, you know, just kind of looking at it,
- 30:38Speaker 5: it's odd. It's just different for the both sites because
- 30:41Speaker 5: the way they're priced. If you go over there, look
- 30:43Speaker 5: like Gossman's the second highest price pitcher, Vell does his
- 30:46Speaker 5: higher price in Reagan's. I mean, you know, I mean
- 30:49Speaker 5: alikanta is like a couple, you know, two hundred less
- 30:52Speaker 5: over there. So for me, I mean, I'm looking at
- 30:54Speaker 5: Chris Sale for me money, no money aside, salary aside.
- 30:58Speaker 5: Chris Sale would be my favorite, my favorite play just
- 31:00Speaker 5: because he's Chris Sale. And then I would basically after
- 31:04Speaker 5: that go Reagans and then I think I'm going to
- 31:06Speaker 5: go to uh, you know, just the way it is,
- 31:09Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna go to Man. I don't know
- 31:12Speaker 5: if I want to put Burrows ahead of Golsman, but
- 31:14Speaker 5: I think I'm going to I think Burrows is the
- 31:16Speaker 5: guy today against that.
- 31:17Speaker 4: Uh, let's attack those Angels, So I mean.
- 31:20Speaker 5: Everybody, let's let's get on it before everybody remembers. How
- 31:24Speaker 5: you know that's gonna be a thing all year that
- 31:25Speaker 5: we're gonna be going after high strikeout right, He's all
- 31:28Speaker 5: year after these Angels. So yeah, I'm gonna go right
- 31:31Speaker 5: after it right off the bat. I think it's a
- 31:33Speaker 5: good play. If I'm on DK, I'm probably pairing up
- 31:35Speaker 5: one of the Reagans or Sales with UH with Burrow,
- 31:39Speaker 5: and I'm probably uh. Then I'm probably gonna be looking
- 31:41Speaker 5: at stacking up some of them Dodgers.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I like to UH. I like to see that.
- 31:47Speaker 2: She hen.
- 31:48Speaker 3: It is a solid pivot off of UH, off of Sandy.
- 31:52Speaker 3: But you can't play everyone. I think Michael King's got
- 31:55Speaker 3: more upside. I think Gawn Williams got a ton of upside.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Now they obviously have downside too, and I.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Like Burrows cheaper there, So I can't play everyone. From
- 32:04Speaker 2: a pitching standpoint, Shehan at seventy eight hundred. I don't
- 32:07Speaker 2: love it there.
- 32:08Speaker 3: I just don't like Dave Roberts and what he does
- 32:10Speaker 3: with this pitching staff, especially early in the year out
- 32:12Speaker 3: there in LA either with his pitchers there, so.
- 32:15Speaker 2: That you got that going for him as well.
- 32:17Speaker 3: Let's jump over talk hitting here. First game on the slate,
- 32:19Speaker 3: we got the A's, we got the Blue Jays. This
- 32:21Speaker 3: game is in a dome up in Toronto. Gosman on
- 32:24Speaker 3: the Hill, Severino.
- 32:26Speaker 2: I mean that dude was throwing batting practice in the
- 32:28Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic and not sure what that's gonna look
- 32:30Speaker 2: like here. Blue Jays reigning World Series runners up to
- 32:34Speaker 2: obviously the Dodgers.
- 32:35Speaker 3: There, incredible World Series last year. Blue Jays got a
- 32:39Speaker 3: beefed up roster here too. I mean they got some
- 32:42Speaker 3: solid guys there, bolbashd obviously leaving paves the way for
- 32:45Speaker 3: a guy like Aston Barjer to find the lineup, hopefully
- 32:50Speaker 3: twenty four to seven instead of being kind of platooned
- 32:53Speaker 3: left and right. I think the Blue Jays are my
- 32:55Speaker 3: favorite pivot off of the Dodgers, but they're also gonna
- 32:58Speaker 3: get ownership here. Really, where I like in the tournaments
- 33:00Speaker 3: here is saying your Dodger stacks, you want to get contrarian,
- 33:05Speaker 3: go to your Dodger stacks. Take off Freddy Freeman for
- 33:07Speaker 3: forty seven hundred dollars and put in Nick Kurtz for
- 33:11Speaker 3: fifty four hundred. I know you need some more salary.
- 33:13Speaker 3: How many Dodger stacks are gonna be played without Freeman
- 33:17Speaker 3: or Otani? Not many, right, So that's one way to
- 33:21Speaker 3: be different there in your Dodger stacks. I think Nick
- 33:22Speaker 3: Kurtz is one of the best one off options on
- 33:24Speaker 3: the slate. Tyler Schottenstrum hits that Shae lang Lears is
- 33:27Speaker 3: a pivot off a guy like Will Smith, Brent Rooker,
- 33:31Speaker 3: Jacob Wilson had a hell of a season last year.
- 33:32Speaker 3: I think you can power hunt here against Gosman. I
- 33:35Speaker 3: don't love full stacking just because he's so. He's still
- 33:37Speaker 3: good at navigating the lineup, really doesn't get blown up
- 33:40Speaker 3: too often, but when he does, it's usually by the
- 33:42Speaker 3: long ball. So picking off power against him, I don't mind.
- 33:45Speaker 3: What do you see here from Toronto and the athletics.
- 33:49Speaker 5: Yeah, Sevrino, you got it right. Throw a batting practice.
- 33:53Speaker 5: He's seven percent swinging Smith's rate last year after both sides.
- 33:57Speaker 5: I mean, that's just that's just awful. But excuse me,
- 34:02Speaker 5: I do like Toronto. I'll tell you, sitting at third
- 34:05Speaker 5: base for Toronto pretty cheap is Okamoto. I don't know
- 34:09Speaker 5: if I'm saying it right Okamoto, but he was from
- 34:12Speaker 5: what I'm understanding, it was a pretty big power bat
- 34:14Speaker 5: over there in the Japanese League. So you know, they
- 34:16Speaker 5: got Hi hitting seventh over here today, He's only twenty
- 34:19Speaker 5: seven hundred on FanDuel, So you know, I think that's
- 34:22Speaker 5: an option there if you wanted to maybe stretch out
- 34:25Speaker 5: your Toronto line up a little bit and get down
- 34:28Speaker 5: there into the bottom part. I think he's definitely a
- 34:31Speaker 5: good option for you over there today. But yeah, I
- 34:34Speaker 5: mean I like this this Toronto team. I think, as
- 34:37Speaker 5: you mentioned, you know, right behind the Dodgers. You know,
- 34:39Speaker 5: who else are we going to look for that maybe
- 34:40Speaker 5: you can compete with the Dodgers today, and I think
- 34:42Speaker 5: the Toronto is definitely in that in that realm. We know,
- 34:46Speaker 5: Oakland's bullpen wasn't all that great last year. We kind
- 34:48Speaker 5: of talked about it for a long period of time
- 34:50Speaker 5: they were in the bottom. I think at the end
- 34:52Speaker 5: of the season they did pick it up a little bit,
- 34:54Speaker 5: but you know that that bullpen isn't all that great.
- 34:57Speaker 5: But I mean, I mean they got world base he
- 35:00Speaker 5: faught Classic Team USA member Ernie Clement hitting down there
- 35:03Speaker 5: in the eight Holenids, So I mean it's not like
- 35:05Speaker 5: their lineup is that awful. But I mean Luke's you
- 35:08Speaker 5: got up there a cheap outfielder up in for Toronto
- 35:11Speaker 5: twenty five hundred on FanDuel I know he's fairly cheap
- 35:14Speaker 5: over there on DK two, so he's a cheap option.
- 35:17Speaker 5: But I mean it's kind of hard not to want
- 35:19Speaker 5: to build around guys like Springer Guerrero. I don't mind
- 35:23Speaker 5: varshow Barger either in that four spot, but Savrino, I mean,
- 35:26Speaker 5: he's just not good. He's not gonna miss any bet,
- 35:28Speaker 5: not gonna strike anybody out. Really, I mean he's not
- 35:31Speaker 5: really gonna walk too many guys, but he's just gonna
- 35:34Speaker 5: be pitching the contact.
- 35:35Speaker 4: I think the Blue Jays can get the job done.
- 35:37Speaker 4: And I mean I like him.
- 35:38Speaker 5: I like what you said too about Nick Kurtz, Like,
- 35:40Speaker 5: if you want to be a little bit different in
- 35:41Speaker 5: your stacks today, and maybe you've got a Freddie Freeman
- 35:44Speaker 5: and you got a few extra bucks left you want
- 35:45Speaker 5: to throw in Kurtz, I don't think that that's a
- 35:47Speaker 5: bad idea at all.
- 35:48Speaker 4: I like doing that a lot of times, swapping out, you.
- 35:51Speaker 5: Know, a power hitter for somebody else, because you know,
- 35:54Speaker 5: at that point then if that stack does go off,
- 35:56Speaker 5: now you've got a one verse one versus that player
- 35:58Speaker 5: for the potentially for you to you know, jump up
- 36:01Speaker 5: in some of the bigger money. So yeah, I definitely
- 36:04Speaker 5: like that move there. But yeah, I think Toronto is
- 36:06Speaker 5: in a really good spot. They'd be my they'd be
- 36:08Speaker 5: they'd be right up there in the top of the
- 36:10Speaker 5: barrel with with the Dodgers tonight.
- 36:13Speaker 3: Yeah, Toronto's number two for me, behind the Dodgers. Obviously,
- 36:16Speaker 3: everyone's gonna be on the Dodgers. But yeah, I like
- 36:19Speaker 3: one through nine for the Blue Jays. I'm not I'm
- 36:21Speaker 3: not scared to anyone. I mean, you got Jimenez, who
- 36:24Speaker 3: can steal. He can hit for some power at times.
- 36:27Speaker 3: He doesn't strike out. This entire Blue Jays team doesn't
- 36:29Speaker 3: strike out against a pitcher who's going to pitch the contact.
- 36:31Speaker 3: For the most part, I know, Severino splits are much
- 36:34Speaker 3: different last year outside of Sacramento. Obviously, when you're playing
- 36:37Speaker 3: in a minor league stadium that is super windated, and
- 36:39Speaker 3: it's usually pretty windy out there in Sacramento and warm.
- 36:42Speaker 3: The entire duration of the season, especially in the beginning
- 36:45Speaker 3: half of the year. Right, Well, that that's obviously gonna
- 36:47Speaker 3: be no surprise. Right, It's kind of like coors Field
- 36:49Speaker 3: and the pitcher splits outside and inside coors Field.
- 36:53Speaker 2: I'm still not looking too far into that. Severino, we
- 36:55Speaker 2: know what he is. At this point.
- 36:56Speaker 3: Blue Jays have one of the best contact hitting teams
- 36:59Speaker 3: in all of baseball. They were a matchup nightmare for
- 37:01Speaker 3: much better pitchers last year than Louis Severino. So if
- 37:04Speaker 3: Severino dunks on me, he dunks on me, I'll tighten
- 37:07Speaker 3: up the bootstraps and come back.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Tomorrow on another baseball slate. That's the That's the nature
- 37:11Speaker 2: of it there.
- 37:12Speaker 3: But yeah, I like the one offs or two man
- 37:14Speaker 3: power stacks from the A's because Gosman is going to
- 37:17Speaker 3: get some ownership again. This is probably the spot where
- 37:20Speaker 3: in twenty max ten plus ten plus teams, I think
- 37:23Speaker 3: you want both sides. I won't be shocked if Gosman
- 37:25Speaker 3: goes out there, throws up a quality start like I said,
- 37:28Speaker 3: six seven, eight k's something like that, or the A's
- 37:31Speaker 3: get to him, scored five six runs off them and
- 37:34Speaker 3: hit some home runs.
- 37:35Speaker 2: Right, It could go both ways. There, so Nick Kurtz
- 37:37Speaker 2: definitely be my favorite guy from the A side of things.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Let's go to the Rockies here bottom of the barrel.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Rockies don't really only I mean they got Willie Castro there,
- 37:48Speaker 3: he's fine. They got TJ. Rumfield coming in. I bet
- 37:51Speaker 3: in fifth at twenty five hundred. Low lefty, righty. I
- 37:55Speaker 3: will say it's leverage Citty with the Rockies. I hate
- 37:57Speaker 3: the ballpark. The Marlin bullpen is not good behind Sandy.
- 38:02Speaker 3: Sandy's gonna be fifty percent owned in single untry stuff
- 38:05Speaker 3: for a good reason. It's the Rockies. They strike out
- 38:07Speaker 3: a ton, but I mean Sandy's no world beater the
- 38:10Speaker 3: by any means. I mean, the dude's got a below
- 38:12Speaker 3: average strikeout rate in general. So I think you could
- 38:16Speaker 3: pick off some power guys against the Rockies here. The Marlins, though,
- 38:19Speaker 3: are gonna be the de facto pairing with the Dodgers' bats.
- 38:25Speaker 3: When I ran dry run projections, I was getting sixty
- 38:27Speaker 3: percent of both Dodger stacks and Marlin stacks, with obviously
- 38:31Speaker 3: Chris Sale and the guys at the top. Because look
- 38:33Speaker 3: at these price points, you have one guy over four k.
- 38:36Speaker 2: The rest are all thirty seven hundred or below, thirty
- 38:38Speaker 2: nine hundred or below, they're just super cheap.
- 38:41Speaker 3: They face Kyle Freeland outside of Corsfield and that Bowl
- 38:44Speaker 3: or that horrible Rockies bullpen. What do you see here?
- 38:46Speaker 2: Marlin's in the Rockies.
- 38:49Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm not a fan of really the
- 38:51Speaker 5: Marlins in this spot, even though I think I'd rather
- 38:53Speaker 5: play the Rockies. As I kind of mentioned at the beginning,
- 38:55Speaker 5: Freeland just doesn't generally beat himself.
- 38:57Speaker 4: He's not a guy that generally just gets pumbled. It
- 39:00Speaker 4: seems like, I mean, he keeps the.
- 39:02Speaker 5: Ball down, he's he's a ground ball kind of leaning,
- 39:05Speaker 5: especially more of the left side.
- 39:07Speaker 4: I mean, they just don't have really the bats here.
- 39:09Speaker 5: But you know, these are the kind of games that
- 39:12Speaker 5: you know that generally are the pesky thorn in the side.
- 39:15Speaker 5: When when there's something like you know, we kind of
- 39:18Speaker 5: have a slate built like today where we have such
- 39:20Speaker 5: a top heavy offense that's gonna be chalky, it seems
- 39:22Speaker 5: like you get one of these teams here that I mean,
- 39:25Speaker 5: even if you mini stack them whatever else, it seems
- 39:28Speaker 5: to be relevant. But I think for me, the Rockies
- 39:30Speaker 5: against Elegantaic, just because the leverage I'm gonna get is
- 39:33Speaker 5: something I'm gonna look at, Like Hunter Goodman, he's got
- 39:37Speaker 5: decent stats against Righty's. I mean they do have some
- 39:39Speaker 5: k's in that lineup over there, but I mean Tovar back,
- 39:42Speaker 5: Willie castro Doyle, I mean they got they do have
- 39:46Speaker 5: some power over there.
- 39:47Speaker 4: I think they could get to Sandy.
- 39:49Speaker 5: But you know, the only reason that I think that
- 39:52Speaker 5: I would want to play some you know, if I'm
- 39:54Speaker 5: playing ten teams, I probably got a couple of Rockies
- 39:56Speaker 5: teams needs just because I'm not gonna play Sandy on
- 39:59Speaker 5: any of my teams anyway. As I already mentioned, I'd
- 40:01Speaker 5: like some other guys, So I'm definitely gonna have some
- 40:04Speaker 5: Rockies so I get paid off that way. If he
- 40:05Speaker 5: does have a just gets blown up, which I mean
- 40:09Speaker 5: it's opening Day, it's baseball too, anything can happen.
- 40:11Speaker 4: We saw Skians get blown up, so you know, but.
- 40:14Speaker 5: When everybody's on something, it's like when everybody's on the Royals.
- 40:16Speaker 5: For me, I don't want nothing to do with or
- 40:17Speaker 5: something like that. Like right, I just feel like it's
- 40:20Speaker 5: it's it's it's a reach. They're jamming it, They're trying
- 40:23Speaker 5: too hard. It's matchup driven, like, no thanks, I'll just pass.
- 40:26Speaker 5: But for me, I think the Rockies are.
- 40:28Speaker 4: A sneaky team. You could you could ministack.
- 40:30Speaker 5: Today and uh may very well get you there against
- 40:34Speaker 5: a chalk of your pitcher.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Yeah no, I don't. I don't hate it.
- 40:37Speaker 3: I'm definitely not going in and five man stacking the Rockies.
- 40:40Speaker 3: I mean, if that wins, kudos to all the contrarian
- 40:43Speaker 3: guys out there and mm that have a portfolio.
- 40:46Speaker 2: We saw it happen yesterday with Paul Skans. Sanyel Katar
- 40:49Speaker 2: is not the same as Paul Skians.
- 40:51Speaker 3: The Mets are a better offense obviously than what the
- 40:53Speaker 3: Rockies are, but it's baseball.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Anything can happen. Talk about all the time.
- 40:57Speaker 3: Power hunting guys, guys like Hunter Goodman at a shortstop position,
- 41:01Speaker 3: who nobody's going to click.
- 41:02Speaker 2: I think if you need a value first baseman, I
- 41:04Speaker 2: guy like TJ. Runfield. I don't know much about him,
- 41:06Speaker 2: but I'm assuming he's got at least somewhat.
- 41:08Speaker 3: Power hitting fifth Ed or Julian Julian right coming over
- 41:13Speaker 3: from the Twins. I don't think you really have to
- 41:16Speaker 3: worry too much about Pinchick concerns. There for the Rockies
- 41:19Speaker 3: because they're going nowhere as a franchise in general, a
- 41:23Speaker 3: little bit different than the Twins. So I think he's
- 41:25Speaker 3: a solid twenty eight hundred power guy, a little lefty
- 41:28Speaker 3: righty action there. I don't hate that Marlins. I definitely
- 41:30Speaker 3: want to be under on the Marlins. I mean, I
- 41:32Speaker 3: just think I think they're going to be super popular.
- 41:34Speaker 3: I hate this ballpark. I get it's Kyle Freeland. It's
- 41:36Speaker 3: just Kyle Freeland knows enough just to kind of navigate, right.
- 41:39Speaker 3: He never really gives up a ton, even in Coors Field, right.
- 41:42Speaker 3: I talk about his numbers all the time. We'll talk
- 41:44Speaker 3: about him this year again. He just really never gets
- 41:47Speaker 3: mangled dismantled, right. He always kind of just skates his
- 41:50Speaker 3: way through. He'll give up some runs, and yeah, I
- 41:53Speaker 3: mean obviously the bullpen behind him is horrible. But I
- 41:56Speaker 3: don't love the ballpark. So I don't really don't like
- 41:58Speaker 3: that game much from a hitting perspective. Takes me to
- 42:00Speaker 3: another one here, I don't like at all really from
- 42:03Speaker 3: a hitting perspective. I mean, the two best pitchers on
- 42:05Speaker 3: the slate pitcher's duel here in Atlanta. I think this
- 42:08Speaker 3: is a game going to the under. What do you
- 42:10Speaker 3: see here though? Anything anything to pick off here?
- 42:13Speaker 2: No?
- 42:13Speaker 4: No thanks.
- 42:13Speaker 5: As I mentioned, I think this is gonna be an
- 42:15Speaker 5: old fashioned pitchers dude, I don't think you're gonna get
- 42:18Speaker 5: much out of this one.
- 42:18Speaker 3: No thanks, awesome takes us in the next game here,
- 42:21Speaker 3: Astros in the Angels in Houston, Mike Burrows on the mound.
- 42:24Speaker 3: We talked about him, Aton. We know what Kakuchi is.
- 42:26Speaker 3: He can always be in your MM pool. He's either
- 42:29Speaker 3: gonna get absolutely destroyed or he's gonna strike out ten.
- 42:33Speaker 3: There's no in between. Where do you play the Astros?
- 42:36Speaker 3: Is you typically played the Astros against left handed pitching?
- 42:39Speaker 5: Why?
- 42:39Speaker 3: Because they're predominantly right handed hitters outside of Jordan Alvarez,
- 42:43Speaker 3: who surprise surprise, can hit lefties and has fared pretty
- 42:47Speaker 3: well against Kakuchi in his past. I think Houston is
- 42:50Speaker 3: a really nice spot here tonight, Angels. Bullpen's horrible behind him.
- 42:53Speaker 3: Houston got guys like Isaac Pared's in there who beefed
- 42:57Speaker 3: up the line up there. I got my guy cam Smith,
- 43:00Speaker 3: who's a power monster, twenty seven hundred back half that order.
- 43:03Speaker 3: Nobody's gonna play him. I don't love el tuove, but
- 43:06Speaker 3: he kind of fits the bild if you if you
- 43:09Speaker 3: land on second base and you're looking for a spend
- 43:10Speaker 3: up L two ve can you can slot him in there.
- 43:13Speaker 3: The Angels against Burrow. I like Mike Burrows a ton
- 43:17Speaker 3: here for the Astros, But the Angels do have power.
- 43:20Speaker 2: I talked about it. Mike Trout hit a bomb last
- 43:22Speaker 2: night while he's healthy. This is probably the healthiest Mike
- 43:24Speaker 2: Trout's been in quite some time, So jump on him now. Well,
- 43:28Speaker 2: you can still play him before he hits the I
- 43:30Speaker 2: l there.
- 43:30Speaker 3: Zach Netto a great option at shortstop as well, But
- 43:34Speaker 3: really my interest is more on the.
- 43:37Speaker 2: Astra side of this game all around. What do you
- 43:38Speaker 2: see here?
- 43:40Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with with what you're saying here about
- 43:45Speaker 5: the Angels. The Angels, to me are a team that
- 43:47Speaker 5: are gonna strike outs like bus, boom or bust. They're
- 43:49Speaker 5: gonna strike out a bunch of times, but they could
- 43:51Speaker 5: hit a couple homers, that's for sure.
- 43:52Speaker 4: I mean, they definitely have the power. But uh, yeah,
- 43:55Speaker 4: I think this one here.
- 43:56Speaker 5: I do like Burrows, as I said, just because of
- 43:58Speaker 5: the way the slate's shaken out as a pivot over
- 44:01Speaker 5: there to Elek and Terra. But on this side, on
- 44:02Speaker 5: the other side, as far as Houston goes, I really
- 44:04Speaker 5: like Houston against Kakuchi. You got some guys that definitely
- 44:08Speaker 5: can get the ball up in the air, Flyball, Alvarez
- 44:11Speaker 5: gets it up, Parade, He's gets it up in the air, Smith,
- 44:13Speaker 5: Christian Walker. So I mean they got some guys here
- 44:16Speaker 5: that can definitely combat that ground ball percentage. He's got
- 44:20Speaker 5: about a thirty eight percent or to the right side,
- 44:22Speaker 5: which is definitely lowered than it's fifty two to the
- 44:24Speaker 5: left side, that being Kakuchi. But he's blow average and
- 44:27Speaker 5: strike up percentage. He's going to basically get hit. He's
- 44:31Speaker 5: gonna be pitching the contact, and I mean they're gonna
- 44:34Speaker 5: be thrown out an alrighty lineup except by Alvarez. So yeah,
- 44:37Speaker 5: I think the Astros for me are probably about the
- 44:39Speaker 5: same ranges to Blue Jays, somebody that could definitely keep
- 44:43Speaker 5: up with the Dodgers. But yeah, I think you can
- 44:45Speaker 5: stack them up for sure. I think they're in the
- 44:47Speaker 5: top three today.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you there. I think they're interesting.
- 44:51Speaker 3: I will say Carlos kra is probably gonna be one
- 44:53Speaker 3: of the highest on players on the slate not including
- 44:56Speaker 3: a Dodger just because of his dual position eligibility third
- 44:58Speaker 3: base and shortstop in that price there, hitting in the
- 45:01Speaker 3: heart of that lineup. He's a fine option, but I
- 45:03Speaker 3: would be worried on how I use him. When I'm
- 45:06Speaker 3: using him.
- 45:06Speaker 2: Don't go there in there and uh drop Mookie Bets
- 45:09Speaker 2: down to him to make everything work with your five
- 45:11Speaker 2: man Dodger stacks that include Otani, Tucker Freeman right to
- 45:15Speaker 2: those kind of guys, because everybody else is going to
- 45:18Speaker 2: do that, right with with Sandy al Kintara and whoever else.
- 45:20Speaker 2: So I'm not.
- 45:24Speaker 5: But Korea's BVP numbers against Kakuchi is something like fourteen
- 45:29Speaker 5: for twenty eight or some shit like it's.
- 45:31Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, he's been He's like sixteen.
- 45:33Speaker 4: For twenty eight. It's something.
- 45:34Speaker 5: It's something where you're like, wow, that's a pretty big
- 45:37Speaker 5: sample size for thirteen.
- 45:40Speaker 3: He's thirteen for twenty seven with two doubles of triple
- 45:43Speaker 3: two walks, a for eighty one batting average with with
- 45:45Speaker 3: a one or eleven forty seven ops.
- 45:48Speaker 2: So he definitely does. Uh that does see Kakuchi pretty well.
- 45:52Speaker 3: He's a good option for by by any means, but again,
- 45:56Speaker 3: just be worried on how you use him, because he
- 45:58Speaker 3: is going to be very, very popular.
- 46:00Speaker 2: For sure, probably not a great one off. In my opinion,
- 46:03Speaker 2: I'd probably use him more in stacks because if he nukes,
- 46:07Speaker 2: there's probably a good chance that hitting in the heart
- 46:09Speaker 2: of that lineup that the rest of the team's doing
- 46:11Speaker 2: something and they're gonna get passed by those stacks instead
- 46:14Speaker 2: of a one off. There takes us to this game.
- 46:16Speaker 2: I don't like this game much at all.
- 46:18Speaker 3: Worst weather by far on the slate, fifty degrees win
- 46:20Speaker 3: blown in in already a pitcher's ballpark. Cleveland's got a
- 46:23Speaker 3: good bullpen behind Gavin Williams, even with all the shit
- 46:26Speaker 3: that happened with them last year. Mariners, same thing, solid bullpen,
- 46:30Speaker 3: good squad in general. There's gonna be times to play
- 46:33Speaker 3: the Seattle offense. There's gonna be lots of times. This
- 46:35Speaker 3: is a spot where I just don't like it. I mean,
- 46:37Speaker 3: they could get there. They're probably like five or six
- 46:39Speaker 3: on my list of teams here tonight, which makes the list,
- 46:43Speaker 3: but it's down the board considering we only have fourteen
- 46:46Speaker 3: teams to choose from, and we got the Rockies and
- 46:48Speaker 3: Marlins and stuff like that on the slate.
- 46:50Speaker 2: What do you see here at Cleveland and Seattle.
- 46:52Speaker 5: I mean, if Gavin Williams can keep his walks down,
- 46:54Speaker 5: he's definitely a weapon. But I mean you can always
- 46:57Speaker 5: play cal Riley. I mean that guy. I mean, he's
- 47:00Speaker 5: he's always gonna he's always gonna be in the in
- 47:03Speaker 5: the mix. But I mean there's too many other options.
- 47:05Speaker 5: I'm not really a fan of too much on either
- 47:07Speaker 5: side of this one. But yeah, I mean, no reason
- 47:10Speaker 5: really to push in. As you mentioned, shitty conditions. It's cold,
- 47:13Speaker 5: we really that's the only game that's got shitty. Every
- 47:16Speaker 5: other one's inside or it's warm. The Dodgers obviously is
- 47:19Speaker 5: warm outside. But so yeah, I mean, no reason to
- 47:22Speaker 5: fool with that.
- 47:23Speaker 3: I will say Brendan Donovan is probably probably a solid
- 47:26Speaker 3: play or a guy like can Zone thirty one hundred,
- 47:30Speaker 3: thirty eight hundred. Donovan fits a week second base position
- 47:32Speaker 3: where most people are there are are going to play
- 47:35Speaker 3: a guy like Miguel Rojas at twenty five hundred or
- 47:38Speaker 3: some of those other guys we talked about there. So
- 47:40Speaker 3: I think Donovan would probably be my favorite play from
- 47:42Speaker 3: that game. Takes us to San Diego here, another spot
- 47:46Speaker 3: where I think pitchers duel can can be in action.
- 47:49Speaker 3: I won't hate a Tiger stack. I hate the ballpark,
- 47:51Speaker 3: but I just know Michael King can strike out nine guys,
- 47:55Speaker 3: ten guys, twelve guys, or he can walk five and
- 47:58Speaker 3: get pulled. But then you gotta nail bullpen behind him, right,
- 48:01Speaker 3: the best one of the best bullpens, if not the
- 48:02Speaker 3: best last year in the league for the Padres, this
- 48:06Speaker 3: is another game I don't love much from from an
- 48:08Speaker 3: offensive standpoint on either side. Here, Framber is a ground
- 48:11Speaker 3: ball guy. Tigers are a quality, quality team in general.
- 48:15Speaker 3: What do you see here?
- 48:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not a fan of any of the Padres,
- 48:19Speaker 5: but I mean, hey, I'm going right back to McGonagall again.
- 48:22Speaker 5: He's too damn cheap. He unlocks a few things for you.
- 48:24Speaker 5: I mean, you don't need him to do much. Dude
- 48:26Speaker 5: gets I mean, his first two at bats yesterday he
- 48:28Speaker 5: had it all taken care of for you, let alone
- 48:31Speaker 5: the other two hits he got. But I mean McGonagall
- 48:34Speaker 5: is really cheap. I mean, if you wanted to maybe
- 48:36Speaker 5: try to jam in some other Dodgers and not play
- 48:38Speaker 5: Mookie and play McGonagall, he's you know, he's pretty cheap.
- 48:41Speaker 5: I don't mind that play as a one off, but
- 48:44Speaker 5: I think that's really as far as i'd kind of
- 48:46Speaker 5: stretch it. I think the Tigers too, you're gonna have
- 48:49Speaker 5: to watch, you know, guys like Carpenter, Cole Keith.
- 48:53Speaker 4: I think they could be pinch.
- 48:54Speaker 5: Hit risk, Parker Meadows, so especially them lefties, I'd kind
- 48:59Speaker 5: of watch, but I don't think you're gonna see McGonagall
- 49:01Speaker 5: get pinch hit for that.
- 49:04Speaker 4: That kid's special.
- 49:05Speaker 5: But yeah, I think he's the only guy that I
- 49:07Speaker 5: consider just because this is his he's so cheap at
- 49:10Speaker 5: this point.
- 49:10Speaker 4: He's just a good hitter.
- 49:12Speaker 3: Yeah, no, thanks for the chat, Saint Rojas. I just
- 49:14Speaker 3: refreshed as you saw lineup, went to confirm. That's another thing.
- 49:17Speaker 3: As soon as we get the lineups, the stone tells
- 49:20Speaker 3: you either projected right, meaning it's not confirmed or confirmed.
- 49:23Speaker 3: So this is their confirmed lineup and takes us right
- 49:25Speaker 3: to the best spot on the slate, no surprise.
- 49:28Speaker 2: Look at his ownership one hundred and twenty seven percent.
- 49:31Speaker 3: I think the next closest team is probably Houston or
- 49:34Speaker 3: Toronto in like the seventies or eighties, so you're talking
- 49:37Speaker 3: to significant drop off in ownership. Here Rean Nelson, not
- 49:40Speaker 3: anything special, below average strikeout, gets hit pretty hard Capernina,
- 49:44Speaker 3: as you can see there last year on the road,
- 49:45Speaker 3: it's hitting at about seven and a half. Dodgers by far
- 49:49Speaker 3: the best offense in baseball, and now it just made
- 49:52Speaker 3: it easier to stack him up with a guy like
- 49:53Speaker 3: Alex Freeland dual position eligibility at twenty one hundred.
- 49:57Speaker 2: I take back, Carlos Kraiaff.
- 49:59Speaker 3: Freeland is going to the highes Ze pitcher or the
- 50:00Speaker 3: highest zone player on the slate, probably right there with
- 50:03Speaker 3: a guy like Carlos Korea and show, hey Otani, So
- 50:06Speaker 3: what do you see here Dodgers and the d Backs.
- 50:09Speaker 3: I think it's pretty sneaky to pick some of these
- 50:11Speaker 3: d Backs left. He's off guys like Carol Ketl, Marte Perdomo.
- 50:15Speaker 3: Perdomo hit a bomb last night, had a hell of
- 50:17Speaker 3: a World Baseball Classic.
- 50:19Speaker 2: He's straight swagged up right now.
- 50:20Speaker 3: I think he's a great option at shortstop at forty
- 50:22Speaker 3: six hundred, one hundred dollars more, same game, same environment,
- 50:26Speaker 3: same hitting conditions, guaranteed nine thing at bats and more
- 50:29Speaker 3: of a still in the base threat than a guy
- 50:31Speaker 3: like Mookie Betts. So I think Perdomo is an elite pivot,
- 50:34Speaker 3: especially in Dodger sacks. Go to the other side, leave
- 50:37Speaker 3: Mookie Bets out, throwing Perdomo for the exact same money.
- 50:40Speaker 2: I think that's one way to be different. Already talked
- 50:42Speaker 2: about the Freddie Freeman or Otani leaving out Dodger stacks
- 50:45Speaker 2: with one or both of them, I think is very interesting.
- 50:48Speaker 2: It feels gross. But when Otana gets walked three times
- 50:51Speaker 2: and scores nine points and Kyle Tucker hits a home run,
- 50:54Speaker 2: well there you go.
- 50:56Speaker 3: Or a guy like Nick Kurtz hits a home run
- 50:57Speaker 3: and outscores Freddy Freeman and Otani, You're you're different, right there.
- 51:01Speaker 2: So talk to me Dodgers and the d Baxter RUMs out.
- 51:04Speaker 5: Yeah, Dodger definitely be chalking. You're gonna have to mix
- 51:06Speaker 5: it up. You're probably gonna have to hit if they
- 51:08Speaker 5: go off. You're gonna have to hit it pretty much
- 51:09Speaker 5: perfectly to even win. So that's the problem with playing
- 51:13Speaker 5: CHALKI your stacks, you gotta pretty much nail it quite
- 51:16Speaker 5: spot on, so you know, you gotta make sure you
- 51:19Speaker 5: catch most of the runs. But I think I like
- 51:21Speaker 5: what you're saying you know with these lefties, well, I mean, Tucker,
- 51:25Speaker 5: I mean, you look over at Nielson. He's got an
- 51:26Speaker 5: eighteen percent strikeout rate. Last year he only had an
- 51:29Speaker 5: eight percent swinging mis rate against lefties. And you don't
- 51:32Speaker 5: want these Dodgers in this great hitting condition, especially the lefties.
- 51:36Speaker 5: He's gonna be seeing h to be squaring up any
- 51:38Speaker 5: kind of baseballs, he might get in trouble pretty quick.
- 51:41Speaker 5: So and Arizona's bullpen, I'm not really a fan of
- 51:44Speaker 5: all that much. So, I mean, they could definitely get
- 51:47Speaker 5: ugly really quick for Arizona. But you know what you're
- 51:51Speaker 5: saying about the Arizona On the other side, I don't
- 51:53Speaker 5: mind any of that.
- 51:54Speaker 4: I mean, you're you know, mixing in some of these
- 51:56Speaker 4: guys in your in your stacks.
- 51:58Speaker 5: I mean, other than the late Hammers, which you know,
- 52:00Speaker 5: it's always a lot of fun. We got some great
- 52:02Speaker 5: hitting conditions, you know. That game, we could obviously see
- 52:05Speaker 5: if the Dodgers get up front, or they get up
- 52:07Speaker 5: by four or five runs, you could just see a
- 52:09Speaker 5: middle of the road reliever come in where it's not
- 52:11Speaker 5: gonna be all that tight. You could get it up
- 52:12Speaker 5: giving up some runs that way. But yeah, I think
- 52:15Speaker 5: you know, obviously, you know, we don't need We all
- 52:18Speaker 5: get it. You all can figure out. The Dodgers are
- 52:21Speaker 5: the best play It's gonna be that way pretty much
- 52:22Speaker 5: all damn season. But just know pretty much when you
- 52:25Speaker 5: play them, you're gonna have to pretty much hit them
- 52:27Speaker 5: spot on. And I mean that's a chance you're gonna take.
- 52:30Speaker 5: But if you do and you mix up some you know,
- 52:33Speaker 5: some scenarios as we kind of discussed a little bit
- 52:35Speaker 5: earlier today, then you're good. But I mean this is
- 52:37Speaker 5: the more spread out slate names they don't like we
- 52:39Speaker 5: could talk about, you know, maybe not not worrying it
- 52:42Speaker 5: like golf, where you're not really worried too much about
- 52:44Speaker 5: some of the chalk. If baseball isn't as bad as
- 52:47Speaker 5: some of the other sports, I don't feel as if
- 52:49Speaker 5: when you get chalky expect except when you get them
- 52:51Speaker 5: really chalky pitchers or really chalky offenses, which we'll see
- 52:55Speaker 5: from time to time, and I think we have that now.
- 52:57Speaker 5: So that's a lot of what we like to talk about,
- 53:00Speaker 5: kind of what the overview kind of we see it,
- 53:02Speaker 5: How are we gonna attack it.
- 53:03Speaker 4: Where's some maybe vulnerable you know something, where's there vulnerable.
- 53:07Speaker 4: How can we do this?
- 53:08Speaker 5: That's what That's what I like to kind of try
- 53:10Speaker 5: to break it down to discuss. And usually when we
- 53:12Speaker 5: get off here, we got in a good idea how
- 53:15Speaker 5: we're gonna attack it and and go from there. And
- 53:17Speaker 5: I mean, we stay true to what we normally talk about,
- 53:20Speaker 5: what we do, what kind of positions we're attacking, you
- 53:22Speaker 5: know why we're attacking it. You know, certain pictures may
- 53:25Speaker 5: have certain weaknesses. But man, I mean it's a lot
- 53:28Speaker 5: of fun. Glad to be back in the saddle. We
- 53:29Speaker 5: had a big winner last night. We're gonna pull a
- 53:31Speaker 5: winner here tonight.
- 53:32Speaker 4: Big winner. I know we're gonna see that in discord.
- 53:35Speaker 5: So but hey, if you tag all three of us
- 53:37Speaker 5: around the show, make sure you hit me and not
- 53:39Speaker 5: the other dude.
- 53:40Speaker 4: I was laughing at that one. I'm like, guys like that.
- 53:43Speaker 5: Dude don't even work at shit, and what the hell
- 53:45Speaker 5: is he talking about?
- 53:46Speaker 4: So but funny tyd good times.
- 53:50Speaker 2: No good to be back. I think we broke down
- 53:52Speaker 2: pretty good.
- 53:53Speaker 3: Hey, it's not a Friday show unless we hit our
- 53:56Speaker 3: favorite low owned stack picture and then a home run
- 53:59Speaker 3: caller for the people.
- 54:01Speaker 2: We had good success with that last year.
- 54:03Speaker 3: Some people made some cheese, including myself on those home
- 54:05Speaker 3: run parlays. Not it's not betting it advice by any means,
- 54:09Speaker 3: but hey, DFS works the same right that you get
- 54:12Speaker 3: those O fourteen points in the lineup.
- 54:14Speaker 2: It's pretty nice to see there. So throw it over
- 54:16Speaker 2: to ug Rising to kick us off, your favorite low
- 54:18Speaker 2: owned pitcher, your favorite low owned stack, and then a
- 54:21Speaker 2: home run call.
- 54:23Speaker 5: Well, you know, I like Burrows over there against the Angels.
- 54:26Speaker 5: I think he's the guy I'll be looking at in
- 54:29Speaker 5: my home run off the wall. I'm going with the
- 54:33Speaker 5: Japanese third basement over there for the Dodgers to hit
- 54:37Speaker 5: us a home run here tonight. So I'm gonna go
- 54:40Speaker 5: Dodgers or the O Kamoto.
- 54:42Speaker 4: I'm sorry, the Blue Jays, you know. Oh hey, you
- 54:45Speaker 4: know this goes that way. Okamoto.
- 54:47Speaker 5: I think twenty seven I is hitting in the seven hole.
- 54:49Speaker 5: I think that would be a guy that. I mean, like,
- 54:52Speaker 5: if you're not playing any Toronto guys, I don't mind
- 54:53Speaker 5: him throwing in in that Dodger stack. You don't have
- 54:56Speaker 5: to play Muncie that way. But yeah, I think he'd
- 55:00Speaker 5: be my play and my favorite low owned stack. I'm
- 55:03Speaker 5: gonna stick with it. I'm going Rockies, all right, Rockies.
- 55:07Speaker 3: It is so my favorite low owned pitcher gonna be
- 55:09Speaker 3: Gavin Williams. I like the upside for him here in
- 55:12Speaker 3: the park in the matchup. I think he's a solid
- 55:15Speaker 3: option there for my low owned stack of the slate here.
- 55:21Speaker 3: I don't know that they're gonna be that low owned
- 55:25Speaker 3: in general. I actually they are gonna be. I think
- 55:28Speaker 3: the d Backs right, particularly more as a mini stack,
- 55:31Speaker 3: but I like the lefties there. Alec Thomas I think
- 55:34Speaker 3: is solid. And then wrap it around to the top
- 55:36Speaker 3: Marte Carrol Perdomo, pick pick three or use all four
- 55:40Speaker 3: throwing throw in one of the other guys in there
- 55:42Speaker 3: if if you need some value, a guy like Tim
- 55:44Speaker 3: Tawa is fine. So I think the d Backs are
- 55:47Speaker 3: pretty interesting there, full nine and of bats out there
- 55:49Speaker 3: in Dodger Stadium, and my home run call, I'm.
- 55:51Speaker 2: Doubling down with you. I'm going to a guy that
- 55:53Speaker 2: hits right before him, don't var show a little left
- 55:56Speaker 2: the action there, and I'll throwing a bonus one. One
- 55:58Speaker 2: of the lower owned Dodger Andy Pots hit a bomb
- 56:01Speaker 2: last night. I think he stays hot. Reeed Nelson is
- 56:04Speaker 2: a little bit reverse splitzy there some ready ready power
- 56:07Speaker 2: get to him pretty good. So I like Andy Pojes
- 56:10Speaker 2: Delton Varshit to.
- 56:11Speaker 3: Both hit a home run. Appreciate everyone tuning in. Hit
