- 0:04Speaker 1: All systems gone clear the lift?
- 0:36Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 0:37Speaker 3: Everybody happy Monday, Hope everybody out there had a great
- 0:40Speaker 3: fourth weekend. I'm in for Naides. I'm excited to talk
- 0:43Speaker 3: some baseball with my man Matt. Seven games on tap,
- 0:46Speaker 3: early start time on both sides at six point forty eastern,
- 0:49Speaker 3: and we have one weather game and it is pretty
- 0:51Speaker 3: important the Astros and the Nats the highest total. I'm
- 0:56Speaker 3: looking at ross stuff on prop finder. It's free, you
- 1:00Speaker 3: can check him out. I am definitely not a weather
- 1:01Speaker 3: man over here. He has an orange yellow right now
- 1:04Speaker 3: and says scattered storms in the area during the game.
- 1:06Speaker 3: I can't really pinpoint details still closer to the first pitch,
- 1:09Speaker 3: so we should monitor what he has to say about it.
- 1:12Speaker 3: If you like reading the forecast, do that. We'll talk
- 1:15Speaker 3: like it does play. I don't think you have interest
- 1:17Speaker 3: on either side for pitching bats though most definitely so
- 1:21Speaker 3: fits a delay and it restarts, we'll be good to go.
- 1:23Speaker 3: But yeah, monitor that there's a chance that maybe you'll
- 1:26Speaker 3: have to get off. So yeah, but seven games, good slate,
- 1:30Speaker 3: six ford eastern start time, Popstoner, Scooter McGavin, Avery, Philly Phantom,
- 1:35Speaker 3: Hope what everybody out there doing great. Matt, how we doing.
- 1:38Speaker 3: How is your weekend thoughts on this slate?
- 1:41Speaker 1: We're good man, coming off a long weekend. Fourth of July.
- 1:43Speaker 1: It's been hot, as hot as whatever word you want
- 1:46Speaker 1: to put next to it here, bought as hot as
- 1:49Speaker 1: it gets in Cleveland. I can't remember it getting hotter.
- 1:51Speaker 1: It's feels like this week should be a little bit better,
- 1:54Speaker 1: but I'm definitely not complaining about the heat, with how
- 1:56Speaker 1: cold and nasty gets in the winter. Fourth was good.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Back in action today. We got seven games, one early
- 2:03Speaker 1: game going on right now. Should be a fun slate.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Hopefully that Houston Washington game plays, because yeah, that is
- 2:09Speaker 1: important and I feel like that's like the slate overview,
- 2:12Speaker 1: does that game player or not.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Totally agree with you? How hot are you talking? Is
- 2:17Speaker 3: it like ninety five in humid or what?
- 2:19Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like mid nineties last week, which is
- 2:23Speaker 1: like really like mid nineties and humid, and and you
- 2:26Speaker 1: know in the Midwest, like it gets hot, but it
- 2:28Speaker 1: usually doesn't get like that hot.
- 2:30Speaker 2: So yeah, it was really hot.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Like my four year olds in camp, they didn't play
- 2:34Speaker 1: outside like for four days last week because it was
- 2:36Speaker 1: too hot. That type of that type of heat.
- 2:38Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, that's definitely up there. We got Jake
- 2:41Speaker 3: in here. Good to see you as well. Always great
- 2:44Speaker 3: to see uh. I love to see that Scooter McGavin
- 2:46Speaker 3: got some PG money to burn. I saw he definitely
- 2:49Speaker 3: has had some good weeks in the PGA streets recently.
- 2:52Speaker 3: No one better than our team in the PGA street.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Chiefs talks about it a lot. Our ownership, some of
- 2:57Speaker 3: the best out there projections as well. If you PLAYPGA. Obviously,
- 3:01Speaker 3: we have a bunch of sports over here. Actually, before
- 3:03Speaker 3: we do that, I'm gonna pull up ship in Nation
- 3:06Speaker 3: our homepage and share. But PGA locks at midnight Eastern.
- 3:10Speaker 3: I believe it is on Wednesday because it's a Scottish open,
- 3:12Speaker 3: I believe, so I just checked that out. So definitely
- 3:15Speaker 3: good time to get in, whether it's a five day pass,
- 3:17Speaker 3: all or all access. Always big prizes in the PGA streets,
- 3:21Speaker 3: MLB every day, Like you know, Connor McGregor, the Notorious
- 3:25Speaker 3: is back on Saturday, fourteen fights, big boy prizes in
- 3:28Speaker 3: the MMA streets. Super pumped for that NASCAR on Sunday.
- 3:31Speaker 3: You can see usually ninety nine dollars for all of
- 3:34Speaker 3: our sports with Sabersim and Discord just forty nine dollars
- 3:38Speaker 3: for your first month. If you want to try it
- 3:39Speaker 3: a little cheaper bottom left, join the Nation. We have
- 3:42Speaker 3: multiple different options. Five days for nineteen dollars gets you
- 3:45Speaker 3: Sabersim and the Discord as well. Again, that would take
- 3:48Speaker 3: you through MMA Saturday. You get PGA content. I think
- 3:51Speaker 3: a great time to try if you have not joined us.
- 3:54Speaker 3: If you just play MLB far right single sport. We
- 3:57Speaker 3: do have MLB only packages as well, and a dollar
- 4:00Speaker 3: a day for our content. Just twenty dollars more for
- 4:03Speaker 3: Sabersim if you would like, we'd love to have you.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Great community in the Discord.
- 4:07Speaker 3: We have all the sports like you can see above
- 4:09Speaker 3: and hey USA, go USA in a couple hours for
- 4:13Speaker 3: the World Cup. I've had some fun. Not a soccer
- 4:15Speaker 3: fan by any means, well, time to be one.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Are you a soccer I was about to ask if
- 4:19Speaker 1: you're a soccer guy.
- 4:20Speaker 3: No, not at all, but I mean, man, these matches,
- 4:22Speaker 3: and I mean I always appreciate all sports at the
- 4:25Speaker 3: highest level and just the and just the atmosphere, and
- 4:28Speaker 3: like the love that these fans have for their teams.
- 4:31Speaker 3: It's really really cool. To see a lot of good games.
- 4:34Speaker 3: So far, I'm playing a good amount of poker. Two
- 4:37Speaker 3: of the guys are professional betters and really big in soccer,
- 4:40Speaker 3: so I've been trying to hammer some stuff and tail them.
- 4:42Speaker 2: But now I've had a lot of fun watching. Have
- 4:44Speaker 2: you watched any.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I've watched some. I'm not a soccer guy at all.
- 4:48Speaker 1: But to your point, like, it's hard not to like
- 4:52Speaker 1: get up for like I mean, yeah, elite athletes like
- 4:56Speaker 1: competing with fans going crazy like that in itself makes
- 5:01Speaker 1: it fun to watch. I was never just I just
- 5:05Speaker 1: was never a soccer guy. I mean, I grew up
- 5:07Speaker 1: like a football, baseball, basketball, and I just never love soccer.
- 5:12Speaker 1: That said, to all your points, like I can get
- 5:14Speaker 1: into the World Cup. I don't like go out of
- 5:16Speaker 1: my way to watch every game, but if it's on,
- 5:18Speaker 1: I'll watch it, you know for sure?
- 5:20Speaker 3: Yeah, yesterday two phenomenal games. And yeah, just the love
- 5:24Speaker 3: that these guys have. I mean, Mexico is shooting off
- 5:26Speaker 3: fireworks and stuff to keep their opponents up in the
- 5:28Speaker 3: hotel rooms, live and die with your team. So it's
- 5:31Speaker 3: cool to see ceiling fans popstone And I'm not back home,
- 5:34Speaker 3: but you will probably see a couple of streams in
- 5:37Speaker 3: the NFL season back.
- 5:39Speaker 2: With the ceiling fan in the background.
- 5:41Speaker 3: All right, I think we should get into it again,
- 5:43Speaker 3: like button subscribe, button helps us out a ton. We
- 5:45Speaker 3: would love to have you at the Nation interesting slave
- 5:48Speaker 3: again the Houston Washington game.
- 5:50Speaker 2: We're gonna talk like it plays.
- 5:51Speaker 3: It's not really relevant for pitching, which we're showing right now,
- 5:55Speaker 3: but man, pitching is actually. Let me do this filters
- 5:59Speaker 3: and then you can say show players with my projection
- 6:02Speaker 3: greater than we're gonna say six. And I'm gonna filter
- 6:05Speaker 3: just for pitching, and then I'm gonna say hide, remove players,
- 6:09Speaker 3: and then I'm gonna sort by salary. Actually, you know,
- 6:12Speaker 3: I'll sort by projection to start because I think this,
- 6:14Speaker 3: I'm taking the average of our shiping nation and sabers
- 6:16Speaker 3: in projections, but you are able to do on the
- 6:18Speaker 3: starter plan Camp Schlittler definitely the best picture on the
- 6:23Speaker 3: slate at eleven K. However, matchups not great, and eleven
- 6:27Speaker 3: K is way up there with the next highest and
- 6:29Speaker 3: Kevin Gosman two k cheaper at nine K. And sorting
- 6:33Speaker 3: by projection, I have pretty bullish Sabersim and us when
- 6:37Speaker 3: you take the average more so sabersim on Gossman. But
- 6:41Speaker 3: after that you get one and a half point drop
- 6:43Speaker 3: almost to the next highest price or highest projected pitcher
- 6:47Speaker 3: on the slate in Griffin Jacks. And he's only seven
- 6:49Speaker 3: point five k. And you can see shorting sorting by ownership.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Griffin Jacks is projected to be the highest own pitcher
- 6:56Speaker 3: on the slate. Then Schlittler Gossman. I think Lannon wrote
- 6:59Speaker 3: might get a little more than he's showing right now.
- 7:01Speaker 3: But with all that being said, it's a gross pitching slate.
- 7:05Speaker 3: One guy stands out in a tier of his own
- 7:07Speaker 3: in terms of price and real life in my opinion.
- 7:10Speaker 3: But again, projection isn't showing it too much. I will
- 7:13Speaker 3: have you go Slitler all the way. We'll go to
- 7:17Speaker 3: Griffin Jacks at seven point five K. I think that's
- 7:20Speaker 3: a good way to start break down this top range
- 7:22Speaker 3: for me.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Yeah, So to your main point, pitching is weak today.
- 7:27Speaker 1: He's not going to feel comfortable most likely with whoever
- 7:30Speaker 1: you use. If you do feel comfortable, God bless you,
- 7:33Speaker 1: I probably personally won't feel comfortable. I'm a Slitler guy.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I've used him a bunch this year. He's not in
- 7:40Speaker 1: like the best current form wasn't good last start. I
- 7:45Speaker 1: know he's had a couple really good starts recently mixed
- 7:48Speaker 1: in between a couple non good starts at all. You
- 7:51Speaker 1: mentioned it. His price is up there and it's not
- 7:54Speaker 1: even a good matchup at all. Tampa is a really
- 7:56Speaker 1: good offense and his floor is really low in this
- 8:00Speaker 1: spot because Tampa has been one of the best offenses
- 8:04Speaker 1: in baseball against right handed pitching. Now you presume if
- 8:08Speaker 1: every you know, if all the right's they faced were
- 8:12Speaker 1: Cam Schlitler asked, they wouldn't be as good. And Schlitler
- 8:14Speaker 1: is talented enough to dominate any matchup. But man, at
- 8:19Speaker 1: ownership at that price tag, I'm having a hard time
- 8:24Speaker 1: swallowing Schlitler tonight. I just the problem with not playing
- 8:28Speaker 1: him is then you got to use two other guys
- 8:30Speaker 1: And ultimately that's why I, like a lot of other people,
- 8:34Speaker 1: might just end up clicking Schlitler. He's gonna be over owned,
- 8:37Speaker 1: no doubt, He's gonna be higher on than he's projected everywhere,
- 8:40Speaker 1: just because the pitching options are weak and you can
- 8:44Speaker 1: generally make it work and there aren't any like elite
- 8:49Speaker 1: offensive spots. There's no Sacramento, there's no Cores, there's obviously
- 8:53Speaker 1: no Vegas, so you can make your work with some
- 8:56Speaker 1: cheap bets tonight. I think Schlitler to your point, he's
- 9:00Speaker 1: the by far the most talented pitcher on the slate,
- 9:02Speaker 1: but you're paying for it. The ownership's there. That's not
- 9:05Speaker 1: a good spot. I hate that combination. Obviously, Jacks has
- 9:11Speaker 1: been good. I've used him also, Man, he feels like
- 9:16Speaker 1: another guy. He's only getting ownership because of his price tag.
- 9:19Speaker 1: He projects well, and the pitching on this slate is
- 9:22Speaker 1: just so bad that I don't have anything bad to
- 9:24Speaker 1: say again about Jacks. Here just feels wrong him being
- 9:30Speaker 1: so highly owned against the Yankees team that generally has
- 9:33Speaker 1: been good, even without judge. I know they've recently slumped,
- 9:38Speaker 1: slumping however you want to put it. But I feel
- 9:41Speaker 1: like this offense is too good for a guy like
- 9:43Speaker 1: Griffin Jacks to be chalk against. But that's where we're
- 9:45Speaker 1: at tonight. His price tag is too good to be true,
- 9:48Speaker 1: and then you get to Gousman. I think those are
- 9:50Speaker 1: the main three tonight. Those are the three that are
- 9:52Speaker 1: gonna get to ownership, probably as they should. Goussman also
- 9:57Speaker 1: not in great form. Good start last time out, really
- 10:01Speaker 1: bad this two starts before that. You obviously don't mind
- 10:05Speaker 1: the matchup here against San Francisco, and you love the ballpark,
- 10:08Speaker 1: so man at ownership because I think Goussman might be
- 10:13Speaker 1: the lowest owned of the three. I might like Gusman
- 10:16Speaker 1: the best because I don't love any of them, and
- 10:18Speaker 1: you can pick holes in Gousman here, but I like
- 10:21Speaker 1: his price tag, love the ballpark, I like the ownership.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I hate the ownership on the other two, even though
- 10:28Speaker 1: there the two best pitchers. After that is a crap shoot.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Dustin May can't do it in his recent form raup,
- 10:37Speaker 1: I guess, but it's not a good matchup. Toronto doesn't
- 10:40Speaker 1: strike out. They don't really scare you. You're using him
- 10:43Speaker 1: because of the ballparking, because of the lack of other options,
- 10:46Speaker 1: and as a pivot off of the high owned guys.
- 10:48Speaker 1: I guess that's why I would like Ralph was just
- 10:51Speaker 1: as a pivot off of the guys getting ownership. But
- 10:53Speaker 1: that's it. After that, I don't got a lot nice
- 10:57Speaker 1: to say about anyone.
- 10:58Speaker 3: I don't know if you do, No, not really, I
- 11:02Speaker 3: mean I think you mainly covered the ones that I
- 11:04Speaker 3: have interested in. With that being said, I do have
- 11:06Speaker 3: more interest in Roupe, Rope Route whatever it is than you,
- 11:11Speaker 3: and mainly, like you said, it's like it feels like
- 11:13Speaker 3: more of a floor play the ballpark. I'm a big
- 11:15Speaker 3: especially when there's not much that DIFFERENTI rates these pictures.
- 11:20Speaker 3: The price is fine, and it's a phenomenal ballpark, and
- 11:22Speaker 3: I just want I'm gonna play Gousman en Route in
- 11:25Speaker 3: the same teams.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Yeah, and just a.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Pitcher's park in San fran These long fly balls will
- 11:30Speaker 3: stay in the park if he gets three strikeouts in
- 11:33Speaker 3: five or six six innings, three strikeouts, it's a great no,
- 11:36Speaker 3: but fifteen or fourteen might be enough. Eighty three hundred
- 11:40Speaker 3: on this slate even if Schlitzler did get twenty.
- 11:43Speaker 2: I mean, so I rank.
- 11:44Speaker 3: Him Gusman Rope and then Schlitler just because, like ge Griffin,
- 11:49Speaker 3: Jacks being one of the chalkiest, if not the chalkiest
- 11:52Speaker 3: picture on the slate just worries me a little bit.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Yankees still have power. I can make Jacks work, So
- 11:57Speaker 3: give me like similarly to me.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Then yeah, yeah, yep.
- 12:01Speaker 3: It's like the three highest priced pitchers are my favorites,
- 12:04Speaker 3: and obviously that usually isn't too great, but eleven K
- 12:08Speaker 3: is expensive, but like you said, there's not There's plenty
- 12:10Speaker 3: of cheap bats that you can get to on this
- 12:11Speaker 3: slate and then Gossman nine K and Route eight point
- 12:14Speaker 3: three K, like that's not breaking the bank. Again, there's
- 12:18Speaker 3: solid bats on this slate, but there's not like spend
- 12:22Speaker 3: ups that you have to go to or like absolutely
- 12:24Speaker 3: jam In and the ones that you will like if
- 12:26Speaker 3: this game does play, like jordng and stuff is chalk.
- 12:29Speaker 1: I was about to say that, So the trickle down effect.
- 12:32Speaker 1: The reason I said, I think the big overview of
- 12:34Speaker 1: this slate is that game is because if that game
- 12:37Speaker 1: doesn't play, you take out like the two best bats
- 12:42Speaker 1: on the slate probably and they're both the two like
- 12:44Speaker 1: most expensive Wood and Alvarez. So all of a sudden,
- 12:48Speaker 1: like if that game plays, I think Schlitzler's a lot
- 12:51Speaker 1: lower on than if the game doesn't play. You know,
- 12:54Speaker 1: so yeah, I agree, there happens.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Yeah, Dustin May, I'd rather play May then Freddy Peralta
- 13:01Speaker 3: Walker Bueller.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Right now.
- 13:02Speaker 3: With that being said, a lot of unknowns with him
- 13:05Speaker 3: is you can see the pitch count over with Saberson
- 13:08Speaker 3: right now, only seventy six. If you think this is light, Actually,
- 13:11Speaker 3: I'll ask you, like, what would you said Dustin May's
- 13:13Speaker 3: pitchcount at today?
- 13:14Speaker 1: I think that's light. I think he got hurt his
- 13:16Speaker 1: last start, and yeah he did if he's pitching well.
- 13:19Speaker 1: He got hit with a ball that like Dom Smith
- 13:21Speaker 1: ended up hitting a double that hit off his foot.
- 13:24Speaker 1: He stayed in the game, but I think he left
- 13:26Speaker 1: like because of that. So I feel like if he's
- 13:29Speaker 1: if they're putting him out there and he's good to go,
- 13:31Speaker 1: like he's got a normal pitch count. Now, he wasn't
- 13:34Speaker 1: good in that start and he got shelled in the
- 13:36Speaker 1: start before that, so he might not pitch a lot
- 13:39Speaker 1: because he gets destroyed. But I don't feel like he's
- 13:41Speaker 1: got a pitch count if he's pitching well at.
- 13:43Speaker 3: All, because he pitched July second, four days ago, three
- 13:48Speaker 3: days ago, thirty four pitches, but again it was only
- 13:50Speaker 3: thirty four pitches. Prior to that, he had two weeks
- 13:53Speaker 3: off and only threw forty four. I mean yeah, so
- 13:56Speaker 3: like right there, would I like to look at seventy
- 13:58Speaker 3: six pitchcount you think that's light we'll just add ten
- 14:00Speaker 3: more pitches. I mean, that could possibly be a full inning,
- 14:04Speaker 3: even if it's a little more. Right there, if I'm
- 14:06Speaker 3: getting almost a full more full inning, more than what
- 14:10Speaker 3: Dustin May's like projected at, because right now they're projecting
- 14:13Speaker 3: them because of this number. If this is eighty six,
- 14:16Speaker 3: maybe this comes up to thirteen point five or something
- 14:19Speaker 3: at seven percent on a slate that's really tough. I'll
- 14:21Speaker 3: take a chance on Dustin May, so he'd be my
- 14:24Speaker 3: fourth right in that range. Don't like Freddie, don't like Walker,
- 14:28Speaker 3: Bueller and man when we go down Shane Johan all
- 14:31Speaker 3: the way down to Nicholas, Like, I have no clue.
- 14:35Speaker 3: I mean, the one that stands out for sure is
- 14:36Speaker 3: Eric Lauer. He gets the Rockies on the road, big
- 14:40Speaker 3: favorite at home, six K, Like, there's not too much
- 14:43Speaker 3: bad to say about him because he's only six K
- 14:45Speaker 3: and the matchup, but he's twenty two percent. Is that
- 14:48Speaker 3: something you're interested in? Any other pitchers you have interested
- 14:52Speaker 3: down below? Maybe a Ronaldo Lopez or something. No.
- 14:56Speaker 1: I feel like you almost have to be interested in
- 14:58Speaker 1: laur just because of the context of the even though
- 15:01Speaker 1: again you don't feel good about it and it's hard
- 15:03Speaker 1: to use in with confidence. He hasn't been good this year,
- 15:06Speaker 1: but better with the Dodgers, and it's the matchup. The
- 15:11Speaker 1: Rockies have been bad against left ease and you get
- 15:13Speaker 1: them out of cores. So, man, I don't love it,
- 15:18Speaker 1: and like, I'm not gonna lock Lower and like build
- 15:22Speaker 1: around him, like if I love a stack and need Lower. Okay,
- 15:27Speaker 1: that's kind of the only way I want to play him,
- 15:29Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
- 15:30Speaker 3: For sure, I would get a little worried assuming that
- 15:33Speaker 3: the Washington Houston game gets the green light, starting your
- 15:36Speaker 3: lineup as Schlittler lower and then playing like the Houston side.
- 15:40Speaker 3: I think, like your Dong or James would. I think
- 15:42Speaker 3: it just makes it fits a little too easy. When
- 15:44Speaker 3: people go lower, it's probably because they want to spend
- 15:46Speaker 3: up for Slitler. Then you still have some chalky bats
- 15:50Speaker 3: or expensive bats you're able to get to. So I
- 15:52Speaker 3: think Austman and Roupe going with Lawer is definitely viable
- 15:56Speaker 3: on this late I mean, just sorting by my projection,
- 15:58Speaker 3: Lower is fit on the slate raw points projection wise,
- 16:02Speaker 3: and he's only six K. Obviously, only you have to
- 16:04Speaker 3: use two pictures on DraftKings so that does show you
- 16:07Speaker 3: can play lower with pretty much any combination of another pitcher,
- 16:13Speaker 3: and when you do go like a route or something,
- 16:15Speaker 3: then you can go Dodgers, which is a little harder
- 16:17Speaker 3: to do when you go Schlittler. So yeah, Lower's in
- 16:20Speaker 3: play for me. But I still do have Golesman, Rope,
- 16:23Speaker 3: Schlittler all above again the three highest price, but only
- 16:27Speaker 3: Schlittler has a real price tag. And I'm gonna be
- 16:29Speaker 3: hoping to see a pitching duel in San Franz today.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Any final thoughts to wrap up pitching before he talks
- 16:34Speaker 3: in bats?
- 16:36Speaker 1: No to your point about uh like lower, though, man,
- 16:40Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much higher owned he gets just
- 16:42Speaker 1: because you've got Griffin Jacks there, who projects better, who's
- 16:45Speaker 1: also cheap. But I think playing the ball together in
- 16:50Speaker 1: tournaments is interesting, Like and just spend all the bats.
- 16:53Speaker 1: I don't think people will do that, but yeah, interesting
- 16:58Speaker 1: slate in that regard sounds like you like or more
- 17:00Speaker 1: than Jacks.
- 17:05Speaker 3: Maybe because the fifteen hundred and seeing a fifteen percent
- 17:09Speaker 3: ownership discount, I think that kind of safe to say.
- 17:13Speaker 1: But also, facing the Rockies instead of the Yankees at Lourel,
- 17:16Speaker 1: for sure your price tag not as good of a pitcher,
- 17:19Speaker 1: but Griffin Jacks is not some proven commodity either as
- 17:21Speaker 1: a starter.
- 17:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I am a run total and stuff
- 17:25Speaker 3: like guy. So seeing three point nine only for the Yankees,
- 17:28Speaker 3: Jack's at home.
- 17:31Speaker 2: At pitching.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Yeah, in that ballpark.
- 17:33Speaker 3: Like it's like the more I look at it, the
- 17:35Speaker 3: more I'm like, man, But then I see thirty seven
- 17:37Speaker 3: percent on freaking Griffin Jackson, then it kind of sways
- 17:40Speaker 3: me the other way.
- 17:41Speaker 2: But like in a vacuum, Jacks.
- 17:44Speaker 3: Feels safe on this slate with like, I mean, eighteen
- 17:48Speaker 3: nineteen would surprise me at all. If he's getting you fourteen,
- 17:50Speaker 3: you take you definitely take it. Eighteen.
- 17:54Speaker 2: You're almost not a lock for the optimal.
- 17:56Speaker 3: But I mean, if I knew he was scoring eighteen
- 17:57Speaker 3: on this slate, I'm having like ninety percent. So yeah,
- 18:01Speaker 3: it'ch is man. Thirty thirty seven percent is what's standing out.
- 18:04Speaker 3: What about Lower? You like, you think we're hot here?
- 18:07Speaker 3: You think it's about twenty two? What do you think?
- 18:10Speaker 1: Yeah? I do. I'm like kind of contemplating whether Lower
- 18:13Speaker 1: gains steam and Jacks settles because people love picking on
- 18:16Speaker 1: the Rockies outside of cors and lower is so cheap.
- 18:21Speaker 1: I think a lot of it depends on that Houston
- 18:24Speaker 1: game because the need for cheap pitching, like is really
- 18:27Speaker 1: dependent on that game. Alvarez wood Abrams three guys that
- 18:32Speaker 1: are going to get a lot of ownership that are
- 18:33Speaker 1: th the you know, three of the most expensive bats
- 18:36Speaker 1: on the slate, So you know what I mean for sure.
- 18:40Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big thing for sure on this lake
- 18:42Speaker 3: because it's it's the spot that people want to go
- 18:44Speaker 3: to four bats. If they don't go there, there's not
- 18:47Speaker 3: really too many other spend ups on the slate unless.
- 18:49Speaker 2: You want to go Dodgers, which some will go, but
- 18:52Speaker 2: by no.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Means are the Dodgers of must All right, we'll go
- 18:56Speaker 3: and talk some bats. Yeah, I appreciate everyone hanging out,
- 18:58Speaker 3: watching live or watching on play. All we ask is
- 19:02Speaker 3: the subscribe and the like button. It helps us out
- 19:04Speaker 3: a ton. First game talking bats not one that's gonna
- 19:08Speaker 3: get much interest on either side. The Rays and the
- 19:11Speaker 3: Yankee Schlittler and Jacks on the mound two pictures getting ownership.
- 19:15Speaker 3: We talked about them at good length. I mean, I'm
- 19:18Speaker 3: interested in the Yankees, like the more teams you're playing.
- 19:21Speaker 3: We just talked about everything with Jacks the chalk ist
- 19:23Speaker 3: picture on the slate. Yankees have power. Are they my favorite? No,
- 19:28Speaker 3: but with all the leverage you get at current ownership
- 19:31Speaker 3: right now, if you want to eat chalk in this
- 19:33Speaker 3: Astros Nats game to fill it out after play Schlittler,
- 19:37Speaker 3: play Gousman or route. Like, I'm fine with Yankees mainly
- 19:41Speaker 3: game theory, though in a vacuum, are they on the winner?
- 19:43Speaker 2: Probably not?
- 19:44Speaker 3: When they are on the winner, though forty percent of
- 19:47Speaker 3: the field's dead with Jacks, Yankees are low owned. They
- 19:50Speaker 3: can do it from the long ball, They're not too expensive.
- 19:52Speaker 3: It just makes sense, so there might prefer play over
- 19:55Speaker 3: the Rays. They're fine, not my favorite.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think that like the Yankees will get
- 20:01Speaker 1: ownership from people that don't play Jacks, where the Rays
- 20:04Speaker 1: won't get ownership at all. So I get the leverage
- 20:08Speaker 1: point for the Yankees against Jacks, but almost take it
- 20:13Speaker 1: a step further and like say that the Rays are
- 20:15Speaker 1: it is just as in play against Slipy, who hasn't
- 20:20Speaker 1: been great, smaller slate and I think like way less
- 20:25Speaker 1: owned than even the Yankees because they're more expensive in
- 20:27Speaker 1: the worst spot. So like I don't love either of them,
- 20:30Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna play either of them, but if
- 20:32Speaker 1: we're talking leverage, I think both are in play. On paper,
- 20:36Speaker 1: neither of them look good at all. Sittler's the best
- 20:38Speaker 1: overall picture on the slate. Jacks has been good and
- 20:40Speaker 1: the Yankees haven't been good. So for me personally, I'm out,
- 20:44Speaker 1: But I get the leverage point. It's MLB. Look no
- 20:46Speaker 1: farther than this one, Burns Man, because I play so
- 20:51Speaker 1: much case. Look at the Royal Stillies game going on
- 20:53Speaker 1: right now, can see up seven to one, Sanchez just
- 20:57Speaker 1: getting actually destroyed by a weak Royal line up, Luke
- 21:00Speaker 1: Mainley with a three run homer.
- 21:01Speaker 2: So MLBMLB, Yeah, absolutely.
- 21:05Speaker 3: I mean it's one of the most very high variant
- 21:07Speaker 3: sports that we play. Sixty three out of ten times
- 21:10Speaker 3: you're a Hall of Famer someone not that succeeds. It
- 21:12Speaker 3: seems like seven out of ten times nowadays, though, is
- 21:15Speaker 3: Junior cameronaro Man. This dude is absolutely on one six
- 21:19Speaker 3: point three K, could be eight point three K from
- 21:21Speaker 3: what he's been doing.
- 21:22Speaker 2: But yeah, actually, the more.
- 21:23Speaker 3: You talk about it, because I do think this Yankees
- 21:26Speaker 3: ownership does come up a little bit, I mean, even
- 21:28Speaker 3: if you double all these guys, which maybe they are
- 21:31Speaker 3: all double, I don't think the Rays really get it,
- 21:34Speaker 3: Like people aren't gonna want to pick on Slitler at
- 21:36Speaker 3: eleven K. The Rays not too many bats that are expensive,
- 21:40Speaker 3: really only two, but they're going to be super super
- 21:43Speaker 3: low owned. So actually, I think I'm coming around to
- 21:45Speaker 3: the Rays, maybe even more than the Yankees, because I like,
- 21:48Speaker 3: I see right in here Scooter talking about it. I
- 21:50Speaker 3: see Philly talking Yanks for leverage. Maybe people keep talking
- 21:53Speaker 3: talk themselves into it. And I do still think you
- 21:56Speaker 3: get leverage, but maybe the individual Yankees themselves are a
- 22:00Speaker 3: little higher on than we're projecting.
- 22:02Speaker 2: And if they're like.
- 22:04Speaker 3: If there's six or seven percent, I mean, that could
- 22:07Speaker 3: still be over owned.
- 22:08Speaker 2: And then even though Jacks is forty percent or whatever.
- 22:11Speaker 3: So yeah, I was gonna, I was saying, that's kind
- 22:14Speaker 3: of what I'm seeing, like something you were saying that,
- 22:16Speaker 3: Yeah that like, yes, there's leverage against Jacks and you
- 22:19Speaker 3: could play the Yank.
- 22:20Speaker 1: It's not like the Yankees will be high owned, but
- 22:22Speaker 1: they might be over owned for like their role on
- 22:25Speaker 1: this slate, just because of whatever reason. It's the Yankees
- 22:29Speaker 1: the leverage ask whatever it is, and so just something
- 22:32Speaker 1: to think about, that's all.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:34Speaker 3: No, at that point made my heads think as well.
- 22:37Speaker 3: So I appreciate that What's up song?
- 22:39Speaker 1: We got asked real quick, and I didn't mean to
- 22:41Speaker 1: cut you off, but someone said, would you stack the
- 22:43Speaker 1: Yankees or the Rockies? And at first I was thinking
- 22:46Speaker 1: definitely the Yankees, But I think my answers the Rockies.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Even though I think Wower's a little bit lower owned
- 22:51Speaker 1: than Jacks, I think the Rockies ceiling is higher.
- 22:57Speaker 2: We'll get there in a little bit. I like it.
- 22:59Speaker 3: Let's move to so what will be the chalkiest game
- 23:01Speaker 3: of the late assuming that it does play again, keep
- 23:04Speaker 3: an eye on it. Orange yellow check back in closer
- 23:07Speaker 3: to lock, which is at six forty eastern. We got
- 23:10Speaker 3: Mikolos and Mike Burrows on the mound, two pitchers that
- 23:14Speaker 3: have no business in the MLB. As far as Mikolas,
- 23:17Speaker 3: the dude cannot strike anybody out. Balls will be in play.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Both sides of the play hit him well as far
- 23:23Speaker 3: as the Washington side. Against Burrows, he gets barreled against
- 23:27Speaker 3: lefties more than righty's. Still not good against righty's either,
- 23:30Speaker 3: but does walk less batters and does k more. And
- 23:34Speaker 3: then you look though at the Nats. You want lefties,
- 23:37Speaker 3: and what do you see lefty, lefty, lefty, lefty, lefty, lefty.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Plenty of lefties in that order, only two players above
- 23:44Speaker 3: five K. This is where the ownership's going. There's no
- 23:47Speaker 3: secret throw the stone is showing it. And again on
- 23:50Speaker 3: the astro side, your doing six to two, no one
- 23:54Speaker 3: else above four K. I do think a one through
- 23:57Speaker 3: four will be pretty popular for the astro and I
- 24:00Speaker 3: also think on the other side one through four we'll
- 24:03Speaker 3: get some love as well. But again, when you are
- 24:05Speaker 3: playing the Nats one through four and then you're done,
- 24:08Speaker 3: that's where people are gonna go lower Gossman rope jacks
- 24:12Speaker 3: because that's where the savings will be and it's.
- 24:14Speaker 2: A little harder to play Schlitler. So, yeah, what are
- 24:16Speaker 2: you doing that ownership in this game? Assuming the green
- 24:18Speaker 2: light is given.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what I'm personally doing yet, but
- 24:25Speaker 1: I think both these stacks look like the top two
- 24:27Speaker 1: on the slate. Like, presuming this game plays, ownership will
- 24:31Speaker 1: be there, so whether I play it or not, like
- 24:33Speaker 1: I'm not sure yet because I'm playing some like small
- 24:36Speaker 1: field higher dollars stuff tonight, and I think the ownership
- 24:38Speaker 1: is going to be I usually for that, but like
- 24:40Speaker 1: even smaller field type stuff tonight, just because that's how
- 24:43Speaker 1: the contests work out on Monday. So I think there's
- 24:47Speaker 1: you know, the smaller you get, there's even more leverage
- 24:50Speaker 1: in getting contrarian, even though it's harder to get contrarian,
- 24:53Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's like the the age
- 24:56Speaker 1: old question in GPPs. But I think undoubted Lee Houston.
- 25:01Speaker 1: You know, I think you the Dodgers are right there
- 25:03Speaker 1: with these teams, certainly because they're facing Kyle Freeland. But
- 25:06Speaker 1: I think those are the three main beasts on this slate,
- 25:08Speaker 1: the Dodgers, Astros, and Nationals. Anytime you get a chance
- 25:13Speaker 1: to pick on on Miles Michaelis, I'm in so I
- 25:16Speaker 1: like Houston a little bit more than Washington. But Washington's
- 25:20Speaker 1: been much better than Houston. They've dominated right hand a pitching.
- 25:23Speaker 1: And it's not like Burrows is a guy I'm afraid
- 25:25Speaker 1: to pick on at all. I mean he's bad too,
- 25:27Speaker 1: So both these teams look good. I think you can
- 25:30Speaker 1: gamestack this game. I played a Pittsburgh Nationals game stack
- 25:34Speaker 1: yesterday that almost got there. Just didn't get the pitching right.
- 25:38Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I don't think there's any question that, Like,
- 25:43Speaker 1: I guess, outside the Dodgers, these are the two top
- 25:45Speaker 1: stacks on the board with the highest ceiling. You get
- 25:48Speaker 1: bad bullpens all around here, a lot to like.
- 25:53Speaker 3: For sure, give me a couple of your favorite bats
- 25:55Speaker 3: five through nine for both the Astros and the Nats.
- 25:59Speaker 1: So, man, that's tough because the Astros lineup right now,
- 26:04Speaker 1: they I know they sent some guys down. Man, I
- 26:08Speaker 1: do think that they're what do we have their lineup
- 26:10Speaker 1: projected as right now?
- 26:11Speaker 3: You LaMonte Wade, Cam Smith, Janner Diez, Taylor, Tremon, Nick
- 26:17Speaker 3: all So.
- 26:18Speaker 1: I think I think that Nick Allen would you know,
- 26:20Speaker 1: if I'm any guy, I'm not playing to be Nick Allen.
- 26:22Speaker 1: He's just like a defensive guy. He is easy to fill.
- 26:25Speaker 1: A catcher. He homered I think yesterday or the last
- 26:27Speaker 1: game he played. Cam Smith has some power. So like
- 26:31Speaker 1: for me, it's not about wanting to play those guys,
- 26:34Speaker 1: it's just wanting to play against Miles Michaeliz and I
- 26:36Speaker 1: have no problems stacking them. If I were going in
- 26:38Speaker 1: on Houston, I would definitely do like a you know, seven, eight,
- 26:42Speaker 1: nine one two stack or six seven, eight nine to
- 26:45Speaker 1: one or you know, not nine, you know what I meant,
- 26:51Speaker 1: four or five, six, seven eight whatever it is like
- 26:54Speaker 1: to get a little bit different. Maybe stack them without
- 26:56Speaker 1: Alvarez and then the Nationals. Man, I don't think Ruiz
- 27:00Speaker 1: is gonna be in the lineup here. Uh he got
- 27:02Speaker 1: pulled early and after he got hit in the head
- 27:05Speaker 1: with a foul ball, so I think he's out.
- 27:07Speaker 2: But we'll see.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Uh, the Nationals are definitely a lineup you can play
- 27:11Speaker 1: one through nine because they run Jose tan It down
- 27:13Speaker 1: at the bottom usually whoever their catcher is obviously easy
- 27:17Speaker 1: to fill. We'll see where. You know, Dylan Cruz and
- 27:21Speaker 1: Dalen Lyle are hitting, but both teams I feel like
- 27:26Speaker 1: you can just stack them fully because they're facing not
- 27:29Speaker 1: good pitchers and bad bullpens. So yeah, Nick Allen would
- 27:32Speaker 1: be the one guy on leave out, but he's probably
- 27:34Speaker 1: like two k I won't get any ownership. So like,
- 27:37Speaker 1: what if he's the guy that comes up with the
- 27:39Speaker 1: bases loaded twice, it gets two hits. So if I'm
- 27:42Speaker 1: stacking them, like, I'm not personally leaving out anyone as
- 27:44Speaker 1: much as I don't want to play, Nick Allen.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Yeah, no, two point five k second Bay shortstop eligible,
- 27:50Speaker 3: especially if you're running multiple teams you're on sabersim like,
- 27:53Speaker 3: I think it's a mistake to x out individual bats
- 27:57Speaker 3: because yeah, I mean there's a reason, like everything simulated,
- 28:01Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands of simulations.
- 28:02Speaker 2: It's what it gets you.
- 28:03Speaker 3: I mean, you see a zero in baseball if they're
- 28:06Speaker 3: cheap enough at a onesie position on the winner sometimes
- 28:09Speaker 3: even in large field tournaments, because.
- 28:11Speaker 2: It's what it gets you.
- 28:12Speaker 3: After that, I prefer the Nats of the Astros of choosing,
- 28:15Speaker 3: and I think mainly it has to do with the
- 28:17Speaker 3: bottom of the order. I feel better with the Nats
- 28:19Speaker 3: to roll it over than some of those guys on
- 28:21Speaker 3: the Astros. But both are definitely good. Sean said, can
- 28:24Speaker 3: you game stack it, Absolutely, but it's not gonna sneak
- 28:27Speaker 3: past anyone, So try and find a way to get
- 28:29Speaker 3: a little different. I think probably a little better in
- 28:32Speaker 3: magular Yeah, probably a little better in larger field than
- 28:36Speaker 3: smaller field.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Yeah, sack.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Both sides will be popular. Game stack will be popular.
- 28:40Speaker 3: At bats in this game will be very popular. But
- 28:44Speaker 3: like Matt said in the beginning, the smaller smaller field,
- 28:48Speaker 3: ownership usually concentrates more and the chalk gets more chalkier
- 28:52Speaker 3: because when there's sixteen people like people struggle to get different,
- 28:56Speaker 3: whereas in the flagship with twelve thousand or whatever it is,
- 29:00Speaker 3: ownership gets naturally spread out more from one to fifty
- 29:02Speaker 3: max ers.
- 29:03Speaker 2: So Michael's great to see.
- 29:04Speaker 1: You just just want to go real quick because you
- 29:07Speaker 1: asked me for the six through ninth. I didn't see
- 29:09Speaker 1: that the Nationals lineup had come out and Tanie's not
- 29:11Speaker 1: in there. But it's the same story. Like Nunya is
- 29:14Speaker 1: hitting ninth, he runs, he's got a bunch of steals
- 29:16Speaker 1: this year. You can play all these guys, uh while
- 29:20Speaker 1: through Nuniez, I mean one through nine. The Nationals have
- 29:23Speaker 1: been really really good against rities this year, so I
- 29:25Speaker 1: wouldn't be leaving anyone out. Obviously the top of the
- 29:28Speaker 1: lineup is more appealing, but those are the guys that
- 29:29Speaker 1: will get ownership. Yep, yeah, I mean for Big Aids.
- 29:33Speaker 3: Big Aids is on the lake up north, so I've
- 29:36Speaker 3: been enjoying a little break still in the MLB streets playing.
- 29:40Speaker 3: But yeah, obviously NFL season on an easy year round NBA,
- 29:44Speaker 3: it's a grind so I enjoy a little little break
- 29:47Speaker 3: during the summer, but always like hopping on talking.
- 29:49Speaker 2: What's up?
- 29:50Speaker 3: Easy, great to see. I hope you're doing well. All right,
- 29:53Speaker 3: We'll keep it rolling to the next game. On the slates,
- 29:55Speaker 3: Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets. Freddy Peralta world
- 29:58Speaker 3: not Al Lopez on the mound.
- 30:01Speaker 2: The Brews do.
- 30:02Speaker 3: A good job, a good job, lucky, whatever you may
- 30:05Speaker 3: call it. They get rid of pitchers at the right time,
- 30:07Speaker 3: especially when they're gonna get paid, and man, it has
- 30:10Speaker 3: not been good for mister Freddie Peralta. I have interested
- 30:13Speaker 3: in the Braves mainly in the top half of the order.
- 30:15Speaker 3: Like Drake Baldwin. I just want to play that guy
- 30:18Speaker 3: pretty much every single day. I think he's an elite
- 30:20Speaker 3: play against Freddy matt Olsen, I think is pretty good.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Top half of the order struggle a little bit when
- 30:27Speaker 3: I get to the bottom. As far as the Mets
- 30:29Speaker 3: against Lopez, Ewing, Juan Soto, Lindor prefer the lefties, I
- 30:36Speaker 3: don't know. I think especially if the Astros and the
- 30:38Speaker 3: Nats get canned and you need to find other spots
- 30:41Speaker 3: for bats, I think this is the game that i'd
- 30:43Speaker 3: want to get to But then yeah, I mean, if
- 30:46Speaker 3: the other game plays, this game is going to be
- 30:48Speaker 3: pretty low owned. And it is actually one of my favorites.
- 30:50Speaker 3: I think game stack on both sides is viable. I
- 30:54Speaker 3: think it's a tough slate for bats as bad as
- 30:56Speaker 3: pitching is. You think a lot of stacks stand out.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Not really the case for me. So yeah, I have
- 31:00Speaker 3: interested in both the Mets and the Braves, and ownership
- 31:03Speaker 3: is in check.
- 31:04Speaker 1: What about you, Yeah, I think you might like this
- 31:07Speaker 1: game a little bit more than me, But I don't
- 31:09Speaker 1: like I'm not. I completely understand why I should say
- 31:14Speaker 1: game what nuts. Yesterday, ten to ninth final, the Braves
- 31:16Speaker 1: scored a ton in the bottom of the ninth, including
- 31:18Speaker 1: a Baldwin grand slam. I had talked about the Braves
- 31:21Speaker 1: a bunch. They were the worst offense in baseball in June,
- 31:26Speaker 1: but there's a reason they were the best offense in
- 31:29Speaker 1: baseball prior to that. I mean, this team is loaded.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Their offense is really good. Obviously still missing Akunya, but
- 31:35Speaker 1: against the struggling Freddie Peralta, they're definitely in play here. Baldwin,
- 31:40Speaker 1: after really struggling coming back from the injured list. He's
- 31:44Speaker 1: been hot recently Grand Slam yesterday in the ninth So yeah,
- 31:49Speaker 1: Peralta is in current form. Not a guy I'm afraid
- 31:53Speaker 1: to pick on. I don't have to pick on him,
- 31:56Speaker 1: like he's not a gas can. But you're talking about
- 31:58Speaker 1: lower ownership than the team up top, like the Dodgers
- 32:01Speaker 1: Braid or the Dodgers Nationals and Astros. So yeah, I
- 32:04Speaker 1: get it. And then the Mets same story. Braves have
- 32:08Speaker 1: a good bullpen and it's not like Lopez is gonna
- 32:11Speaker 1: pitch crazy deep into this game, but he can get
- 32:14Speaker 1: got pretty sure. He got roughed up his last start
- 32:18Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. I believe the Mets. I mean, they
- 32:20Speaker 1: put up ten yesterday. They've underwhelmed much of the year,
- 32:24Speaker 1: but now Lindor back. They haven't had Lindor and Soto
- 32:27Speaker 1: in the lineup together like much at all. Now they
- 32:29Speaker 1: do so with bens Ewing in there as well. Yeah,
- 32:35Speaker 1: both these teams look good at stacks. There are a
- 32:38Speaker 1: couple other teams later that I think I might like
- 32:42Speaker 1: more than you, but I could see liking these teams
- 32:44Speaker 1: more than them. You know. It's the type of slate
- 32:46Speaker 1: where anything different from the Dodgers, Astros and Nats. Is
- 32:50Speaker 1: gonna be different, so I dig it.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you can just see right here on
- 32:54Speaker 3: this stone, like all these run totals. I mean, this
- 32:57Speaker 3: is kind of what we're comparing. I like the Braves
- 32:59Speaker 3: and the Met's personally more than his next four teams.
- 33:02Speaker 2: But you're all, you're just.
- 33:04Speaker 3: Flipping coins based on the run lines at that point.
- 33:06Speaker 3: So I am curious to hear which teams you like
- 33:09Speaker 3: a little more. Is it the Brewers or the Cardinals?
- 33:11Speaker 3: Shane Johan Dustin May on the mound Again, I talked
- 33:16Speaker 3: about Dustin may So. I don't like the brew Crew
- 33:18Speaker 3: as much. Cardinals they got some pop, I mean, Jordan Walker,
- 33:22Speaker 3: I definitely have interest in Nelson Blasquez Herrera. I'm fine
- 33:27Speaker 3: with the Cardinals. Again, I prefer Braves and Mets more,
- 33:30Speaker 3: and I'm gonna play a little Dustin May So.
- 33:32Speaker 2: I don't love the Brewers too much.
- 33:33Speaker 3: But again, it's a seven game slate with a possibility
- 33:36Speaker 3: to be a six game slate. Both of these teams
- 33:38Speaker 3: are low owned with a good amount of chalk around,
- 33:40Speaker 3: so it's baseball. Uh, do you like you to these
- 33:43Speaker 3: two teams?
- 33:45Speaker 1: Yeah? I think I like this game more than you,
- 33:47Speaker 1: but namely the Milwaukee side. Dustin May was not good
- 33:52Speaker 1: in his last start and got destroyed in the start
- 33:54Speaker 1: before that, and a little bit out of rhythm right now.
- 33:59Speaker 1: You mentioned he pitched three games ago. I'm kind of
- 34:02Speaker 1: counting that as more or less like a bullpen session
- 34:04Speaker 1: for his pitch count. But I don't know if everything's
- 34:07Speaker 1: right with Dustin May right now. And I think that
- 34:10Speaker 1: Milwaukee has real upsided tournaments. I think that like projections
- 34:13Speaker 1: and run totals aren't going to be as high on
- 34:16Speaker 1: Milwaukee as some of the teams facing Worset pitchers here,
- 34:18Speaker 1: and that makes sense. And I think they're floor is
- 34:22Speaker 1: probably lower than some of those teams, especially really expensive
- 34:25Speaker 1: price tags. But man, Milwaukee's got high ceilings all over.
- 34:29Speaker 1: We've seen them break a lot of slates this year,
- 34:32Speaker 1: and at low ownership, they were one of the teams
- 34:34Speaker 1: I was talking about as I think I like them
- 34:37Speaker 1: more than the Braves and Mets. That being said, I
- 34:40Speaker 1: view those teams like very similarly, like all on the
- 34:42Speaker 1: same tier, below the top teams on the slate, but
- 34:46Speaker 1: with really high upside that won't get love.
- 34:49Speaker 3: Yeah fair enough, I mean Brewers run a lot too.
- 34:51Speaker 3: Both teams gonna be low owned. I cannot argue at
- 34:54Speaker 3: one bit. We got a couple games left at first.
- 34:58Speaker 3: Anyone that's tuned in a little late first, well, we
- 35:00Speaker 3: appreciate you. This is the Ship and Nation homepage. We
- 35:03Speaker 3: would love to have you join the Nation. You can

- 35:46Speaker 3: twenty dollars more just for Sabersim obviously our content plus Sabersim,
- 35:52Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean baseball. It's going been going on
- 35:54Speaker 3: for a while, and we still have a lot more
- 35:56Speaker 3: months left. It is an absolute grind, so you cannot
- 35:59Speaker 3: beat that band for your buck. Top back over to
- 36:03Speaker 3: the stone. We got three games left, the Padres and
- 36:06Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks Walker Bueller, Brandon fought, fought on the mound.
- 36:11Speaker 3: We have two ground ball pitchers, and I mean a
- 36:14Speaker 3: solid total. Again, if we're comparing, like these three games
- 36:18Speaker 3: all look so similar to me, at least like run totals,
- 36:21Speaker 3: ownership all that, I prefer the Mets and the Braves
- 36:23Speaker 3: the most. I don't have a strong lean between these four.
- 36:28Speaker 3: So you like the Brewers quite a bit. How do
- 36:30Speaker 3: the d Backs and the Padres stack up to the Brewers.
- 36:33Speaker 1: I also like both these teams a lot. You know,
- 36:36Speaker 1: tough going to this park anytime, but on this slate
- 36:39Speaker 1: with no cores, no Sacramento. If there was ever a slate,
- 36:43Speaker 1: like a main slate to go to San Diego, it
- 36:46Speaker 1: would be this one, smaller slate. They still won't get ownership.
- 36:52Speaker 1: You get an inconsistent at best, but that's the nicest
- 36:55Speaker 1: I can say about Brandon Fott and a bad bullpen.
- 36:58Speaker 1: I don't think the Padres get like any love tonight,
- 37:01Speaker 1: and I like them here coming off a long losing
- 37:02Speaker 1: streak last night with a win over the Dodgers, now
- 37:06Speaker 1: coming back home. They're so cheap too. Cronin Worth in
- 37:10Speaker 1: the two hole at two K like, yeah, a man.
- 37:14Speaker 1: I like the Padres, and then I also like the Diamondbacks.
- 37:16Speaker 1: Bueller was in a decent stretch before he got shelved
- 37:19Speaker 1: his last start. Now you're getting Arizona lineup that doesn't
- 37:24Speaker 1: strike out, gonna put the ball in play. Ballparked downgrade
- 37:27Speaker 1: for them, and I think they do get some ownership
- 37:31Speaker 1: because of the Walker Bueler. People like picking on him,
- 37:34Speaker 1: so I like. I personally like San Diego more, but
- 37:36Speaker 1: I also like Arizona, and I do view both these
- 37:39Speaker 1: teams like right on par with the Brewers, Braves, and Mets.
- 37:43Speaker 1: All right.
- 37:43Speaker 3: I think Corbyn Carroll is one of the best plays
- 37:45Speaker 3: on the slate at four point nine K. I also
- 37:48Speaker 3: think Jay cronin War is one of my least.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Under five K is crazy for Carol, Yeah, absolutely ridiculous
- 37:54Speaker 1: with you, that's crazy and then I think cronin Wors
- 37:57Speaker 1: probably one of the worst GPP plays, just because I
- 38:01Speaker 1: think it's gonna be so easy for people to plug
- 38:03Speaker 1: him in at two K.
- 38:05Speaker 3: If they go to the Nats in the Houston game,
- 38:07Speaker 3: they're gonna go to cronin Worth to fill at second
- 38:09Speaker 3: base for cheap. You're gonna go Schlitler. You need savings,
- 38:12Speaker 3: you can go to cronin Worth's for cheap. When I
- 38:14Speaker 3: am playing Croninworth, I wanted to be mainly in Podre
- 38:17Speaker 3: stacks or if I'm already getting different at pitcher or fading.
- 38:20Speaker 3: That Chalky game is kind of how I see it.
- 38:23Speaker 3: I struggle a little bit to play Chalk's one off, like,
- 38:27Speaker 3: oh he's gonna really I mean, you know what Chalk
- 38:30Speaker 3: and baseball is that all right? Maybe he's like fifteen
- 38:33Speaker 3: or sixteen percent in the flag Ship.
- 38:36Speaker 1: That's Chalky as hell. I mean, yeah, I played him
- 38:38Speaker 1: a bunch. I'll be in bad matchups against the Dodgers
- 38:41Speaker 1: and he was like three percent of but different slates
- 38:43Speaker 1: for sure.
- 38:44Speaker 2: And so yeah, and.
- 38:46Speaker 1: First personally, I'm with you, like I like chrona Worth
- 38:49Speaker 1: because I like the Padres, but I'm not playing him
- 38:51Speaker 1: as a one off most likely. I'm with you.
- 38:53Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's it's a two k price tag
- 38:55Speaker 3: when you have your dog. James Woods Slittler like it
- 38:58Speaker 3: just ones he position should't second base.
- 39:01Speaker 2: It just feels really easy to do it.
- 39:02Speaker 1: But yeah, I just I feel like al Tuve at
- 39:05Speaker 1: three to six will also be really popular. But you're right,
- 39:08Speaker 1: like the Nationals don't have a popular Specond basement because
- 39:10Speaker 1: they're guys hitting ninth to that point.
- 39:13Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.
- 39:14Speaker 3: I do think it's gonna be al Tuove and then
- 39:15Speaker 3: Cronenworth is the two is the two chalkis?
- 39:18Speaker 2: I agree with that for sure.
- 39:19Speaker 3: All right, let's get to what I'm hoping to be
- 39:21Speaker 3: a picture's duel in San fran Landing Rope coming Gossman
- 39:25Speaker 3: on the Mound. We have a low total. I've already
- 39:28Speaker 3: talked about it. These are two of my favorite pictures.
- 39:30Speaker 3: But that being said, they're both going to get some ownership,
- 39:33Speaker 3: and I mean ownership on the bats and the stack
- 39:36Speaker 3: side is going to be very low owned. Gossman doesn't
- 39:39Speaker 3: ring too well in our picture rankings though, so if
- 39:41Speaker 3: you're just going based on our proprietary tools and ownership
- 39:45Speaker 3: and all that maybe you can make a case for
- 39:47Speaker 3: some of the giants, I mean Devers, maybe he can
- 39:49Speaker 3: keep it going. I don't love it, but yeah, I
- 39:53Speaker 3: think dev is a solid one off three point nine k.
- 39:55Speaker 2: I mean, some of these prices are ridiculous.
- 39:58Speaker 1: He should never be under four k. Like ever, it
- 40:00Speaker 1: doesn't matter where they're playing, who they're facing, He's been
- 40:02Speaker 1: consistently too cheap. I know he got got going in Colorado.
- 40:07Speaker 1: I feel like you get the same leverage off of
- 40:08Speaker 1: Gousman as you do Jackson, Schlitler and Man. Gousman's floor
- 40:16Speaker 1: is low, like when he doesn't have his best stuff,
- 40:19Speaker 1: he can get hit. If this were in any other ballpark,
- 40:23Speaker 1: I'd be more interested in San Frans just tough to
- 40:25Speaker 1: get there as a full stack here. I feel the
- 40:27Speaker 1: same about Toronto. You want to play a Vland one off, sure,
- 40:31Speaker 1: full stack probably.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Not totally with you. Not much more to add to
- 40:35Speaker 3: that game. Let's get to the last game of the night, Dodgers.
- 40:39Speaker 3: The highest run total taken on Kyle Freeland the Rockies
- 40:42Speaker 3: against Eric Lower Again, Lawer is going to get some ownership,
- 40:45Speaker 3: as you can see. At only six K against the
- 40:48Speaker 3: Rockies on the road. You mentioned it from the beginning.
- 40:51Speaker 3: You can hold in your excitement for the Rockies when
- 40:53Speaker 3: you're comparing him to the Yankees. He said that you
- 40:56Speaker 3: have some interests, and again makes sense. Lower is gonna
- 40:59Speaker 3: get some ownership. Rockies not getting much ownership, get the
- 41:02Speaker 3: guaranteed ninth in a at bats.
- 41:06Speaker 2: It's tough for me to do. There's no doubt about that.
- 41:08Speaker 2: Hunter Goodman is a stud.
- 41:10Speaker 3: Spending up overpaying at catcher five point seven k I
- 41:13Speaker 3: think is pretty interesting, don't mind, Tyler Freeman.
- 41:17Speaker 2: The Dodgers is the bigger question for me. They're gonna
- 41:19Speaker 2: get ownership regardless.
- 41:21Speaker 3: If we lose the Astros Nats game somehow, then this
- 41:24Speaker 3: game definitely gets ownership. A lot of five man Dodgers
- 41:27Speaker 3: stacks will be paired with Eric Lauer because of how
- 41:30Speaker 3: cheap he is, So just know all of that. And Freeland,
- 41:33Speaker 3: I mean, there's a good amount of lefties that the
- 41:35Speaker 3: Dodgers have projected in this order, and Freeland's tough on lefties.
- 41:39Speaker 3: With that being said Freddie Freeman, Kyle Talker, mun see,
- 41:42Speaker 3: you're talking about elite lefties that can figure out mediocre
- 41:46Speaker 3: left handed pitching.
- 41:47Speaker 2: So is.
- 41:50Speaker 3: This the spot that you're gonna jam the Dodgers and
- 41:51Speaker 3: then talk about the Rockies.
- 41:53Speaker 1: I feel like this is one where if the Nats
- 41:56Speaker 1: Astros game play is I like the Dodgers a lot
- 41:58Speaker 1: in tournaments, is even with a run total higher, I
- 42:04Speaker 1: think because of the left on left factor and price tags,
- 42:07Speaker 1: both Astros and Nationals will be as high owned as
- 42:11Speaker 1: the Dodgers full stacks here. So in that case, I
- 42:14Speaker 1: like the Dodgers. If the Astros and Nationals game doesn't play,
- 42:19Speaker 1: I think the ownership just gets two out of hand
- 42:21Speaker 1: against Kyle Freeland, who I'm with you, like, he's not
- 42:24Speaker 1: good and I like picking on him, but I don't
- 42:28Speaker 1: need to pick on him at like what I think
- 42:30Speaker 1: is probably double the ownership of any other team on
- 42:33Speaker 1: the slate at that point. So yeah, I mean the
- 42:36Speaker 1: Dodgers are very much like the Astros and Nationals here.
- 42:39Speaker 1: They're undoubtedly one of the top stacks on the board.
- 42:41Speaker 1: They're always a tough fade. Their lineup is amazing, and yeah,
- 42:45Speaker 1: you feel a little bit better fading them tonight because
- 42:49Speaker 1: Freeland's a lefty. But like to your other point, I mean,
- 42:53Speaker 1: if all the lefties Freeland we're facing, we're Freeman o'tani
- 42:57Speaker 1: Tucker like he wouldn't be good at all, So well, yeah,
- 43:01Speaker 1: tough eight. I think you can play the Dodgers as
- 43:04Speaker 1: many stacks one offs, but they're really really expensive. So
- 43:09Speaker 1: to your point, I do think that a lot of
- 43:11Speaker 1: builds are going to have lower with them, and at
- 43:13Speaker 1: that point, like I don't know if I want to
- 43:16Speaker 1: play them as such, like at such high ownership, but
- 43:20Speaker 1: I don't know, Like, is there any update on the
- 43:22Speaker 1: Astros and Nationals? Probably not too far.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I literally just looked and no update so far.
- 43:28Speaker 3: And again he said in the write up that you
- 43:30Speaker 3: have to check that closer to game time because its
- 43:32Speaker 3: scattered storms. I'm just gonna hope it plays, and to
- 43:34Speaker 3: be honest, if it plays, like I'm fine eating that
- 43:37Speaker 3: chalk and I'm fine playing the Dustin may rope. Eric
- 43:40Speaker 3: Lauer like getting weird at pitcher combinations to jam in
- 43:44Speaker 3: that game on a good amount of teams, but we
- 43:46Speaker 3: gave a lot of like I like the Mets Braves
- 43:49Speaker 3: game and Matt liked Brewers, d Backs, Padres. Those are
- 43:54Speaker 3: kind of the stacks to get a little different if
- 43:56Speaker 3: you want to get all the way off the board
- 43:58Speaker 3: to get a lot of leverage Rays, Yankees. I like
- 44:02Speaker 3: I said, this is solid seven games late, you know,
- 44:05Speaker 3: like this is why I like twenty teams in a
- 44:07Speaker 3: lot of different sports. With baseball, for sure, you could
- 44:09Speaker 3: have two Yankee stacks, two Rocky stacks, six stacks or
- 44:17Speaker 3: five stacks on the Astros and the Gnats. Like right there,
- 44:20Speaker 3: you just got overweight on Astros, Nats, Yankees, Rockies without
- 44:25Speaker 3: and then you still have a couple teams left to
- 44:27Speaker 3: do what you want to do.
- 44:28Speaker 2: And that's just.
- 44:28Speaker 3: Because Rockies and Yankees and Rays get you so much leverage.
- 44:32Speaker 3: Then yeah, you're jamming some truck with the Gnats and
- 44:35Speaker 3: the Astros. But Saving Simon does a good job with
- 44:37Speaker 3: portfolio diversifier. That's important for baseball. You should if you're
- 44:41Speaker 3: playing twenty plus teams, probably have your pitcher on some
- 44:44Speaker 3: teams and then a stack against them on some others
- 44:48Speaker 3: for so much equity in first place. Nowadays, in all
- 44:51Speaker 3: DFS sports, all you care about is that one bubble
- 44:54Speaker 3: on the far right. Everything else could be on the
- 44:56Speaker 3: far left and you will not care one bit. So
- 44:59Speaker 3: I think some people get little too concentrated in their
- 45:01Speaker 3: portfolio or stacks sometimes anything like that. That's all seven
- 45:06Speaker 3: games anything on that on the slate before we get
- 45:08Speaker 3: on out of here.
- 45:09Speaker 1: No, So I agree with that. That's something that I
- 45:11Speaker 1: you know, still uh you know, work on in my
- 45:15Speaker 1: process is trying not to be too concentrated in MLB,
- 45:18Speaker 1: especially because the results are so random. I mean, I
- 45:21Speaker 1: mentioned it once already just in terms of like MLB
- 45:26Speaker 1: and how baseball will baseball in terms of the Royals
- 45:28Speaker 1: and the Phillies right now, but honestly, like you take
- 45:31Speaker 1: it a step farther, if this game were on the
- 45:34Speaker 1: main slate, the Royals would win the slate. You know
- 45:36Speaker 1: what I'm saying against Christopher Sanchez, like at no ownership,
- 45:40Speaker 1: So I mean you know what I mean, Like literally,
- 45:43Speaker 1: look no farther than that game, it's not on the
- 45:45Speaker 1: main slate, and Sanchez probably would have been on this slate. Honestly,
- 45:49Speaker 1: Sanchez would have been like seventy percent for sure.
- 45:53Speaker 2: I mean that just shows it right there.
- 45:54Speaker 3: You don't have to go back to any days a
- 45:56Speaker 3: current game right now that's going on. Sanchez by far
- 46:01Speaker 3: the best picture on this slate in real life for
- 46:03Speaker 3: matchup everything, and the Royals the opposite stack at what
- 46:07Speaker 3: probably would have been one percent ownership would have won
- 46:10Speaker 3: all the tournaments, lucky guess. As we talked about it,
- 46:12Speaker 3: you and I on this show, it's when you win.
- 46:14Speaker 3: How much do you win on a sport with this
- 46:16Speaker 3: much variance, when you're a Hall of famer, when you
- 46:18Speaker 3: succeed throughout it ten times, and even if you go
- 46:21Speaker 3: three for four and three singles and nothing else like
- 46:23Speaker 3: the long ball. But like baseball is such a unique sport,
- 46:27Speaker 3: ownership means so much, and I think you should really
- 46:30Speaker 3: concentrate on that if you're not already, and then really
- 46:34Speaker 3: even hyper focus on it. Even if you are, see
- 46:36Speaker 3: what the best players are doing, what's their cumulative ownership,
- 46:39Speaker 3: how are they building on a seven games slate versus
- 46:41Speaker 3: eleven games slate versus a four game slate and all
- 46:44Speaker 3: of that. So we have a great discord Reo phenomenal
- 46:48Speaker 3: in the MLB streets as well. He's in there. We
- 46:51Speaker 3: got Matt like our man choke set. Oh he's talking
- 46:54Speaker 3: about some good weed that he got with our man
- 46:56Speaker 3: pop Stonner. But yeah, Matt is a very very good
- 47:00Speaker 3: high stakes player in a lot of different sports. So
- 47:02Speaker 3: I always love talking baseball, talking DFS, sucking all theory
- 47:06Speaker 3: with you.
- 47:07Speaker 2: I hope tonight is a good night. For many final
- 47:09Speaker 2: thoughts before we get on out here, Matt.
- 47:12Speaker 1: No man should be a fun slate. Hopefully we get
- 47:14Speaker 1: newsbout that National's Astros game. Nothing worse than like not
- 47:17Speaker 1: going but or not knowing I should say, but yeah,
- 47:22Speaker 1: it should be a fun. A man always fund talking
- 47:23Speaker 1: ball with you, whatever support it may be at that time.
- 47:26Speaker 3: Absolutely, and yeah at least that game is at six
- 47:29Speaker 3: forty five Eastern with a six forty start time, so
- 47:32Speaker 3: do remember a little earlier start time than usual. Over
- 47:35Speaker 3: content will be up on the site MLB Slate Station.
- 47:38Speaker 3: We combine everything into one projections Ownership and the Stone
- 47:42Speaker 3: updated throughout the nights.
- 47:44Speaker 2: We will be back.
- 47:45Speaker 3: Tomorrow talking some baseball. Get over to the nation. Check
- 47:49Speaker 3: out all the packages like bun subscribe button on the
- 47:51Speaker 3: way out helps for mama, Matt. I'm titled good luck,
- 47:55Speaker 3: be safe pieces.
- 48:11Speaker 4: Hans, Hans, Hans mother Hans must have them step ten
- 48:27Speaker 4: ms and then still
