• 1:01
  Speaker 3: night or yesterday on the Sunday slate, I had some
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: close calls, almost got all the way home in some
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: m ME yesterday. Sundays are wild chalk pitchers got blown
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: up yesterday. We'll talk about it today. We got some
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: just a fact though, just due to the nature of
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: the slate, right, so some pictures that probably on a
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: normal slate, right or on a different slate, wouldn't be
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: as high owned as they are tonight. But that's just
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the nature of it. Right.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We're in.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Starters four and five and in some of these teams rotations,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: and some of these teams rotations just.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Aren't good in general.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Right. Obviously we got the Rockies on the slate here,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: going up against the World Series runner ups there, right,
• 1:37

  Speaker 3: me pretty much every Monday throughout the entire MLB season.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: G Rising's gonna kind of fill in until NBA over
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: with you. Kind of pulling double duty there. But you're
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: here tonight, you're ready to break it down, and you
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: did the slate plan.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: It's already up.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: That's one nice thing about shipping nation, right, we get
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the content up nice and early.

• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Happy Monday to you too. Man, always it's been
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a minute. So happy to be on here talking some
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: scene with you. Man, MLB. I know we both love.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: So excited to break down this slate with you. I
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: think we got a good one. Yeah, man. I see
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: our boy Rio is in the chat trying to win
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: another no that I don't even know if there's one
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: hundred k op top, but whatever, the main contest is.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Big props to him. I know we've chatted since then,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: so just big shot out there, man. I'm just excited
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to get on here. We were talking a little bit
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: bit a little bit before. The last time we did
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a show together was our NFL Takedown breakdown show. So
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it's been a minute with all my back stuff. So
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it's like almost like a full circle moment for me.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I feel good, happy beyond here talking some MLB again.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: We got a fun slate. I think there's a ton
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: of different ways to go, and I'm just happy to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: be on here breaking it down with you. Brother.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No happy to happy to be here. Say hi to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a couple people.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: We've got a guy new ones here, fellow Wisconsinight go Brewers, Baby,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Let's go. Everyone counting us out yesterday they said hold
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: on not so fast, right. Obviously it's a it's a
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: White Sox. Nothing crazy there, but Brews best record in
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: baseball last year. Obviously they do their typical ship in
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the postseason, fall in their face as normal there. But
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: it's a fun roster. They're gonna score a lot of
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: runs all season long because they play. They play the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: baseball right the old fashioned way. Matt, A little little single,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: little steal, little little RBI single rb I double right
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: drive drive the runs in.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: About all about that being in Cleveland.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Cleveland's the the old Indians are. We're the uh, we're
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the grandfathers of that old old tactic. There Brewers said,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: hold on, let me latch onto that last year, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: uh see what happens, And it happened to pretty well
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: for them for for the course of the season. But
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: got Jason Turner in here. I want to give a
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: shout out to Flip Flop Flip to flop in here.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: He said he had he or she had two profitable
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: nights Thursday and Friday last week listening to the show.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: So hey, that's what we're here for. Even if you're
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: you're not a ship Nation subscriber, we do these shows.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: We think ship the Nation is the best place in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the industry overall. And if you're not a member yet,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I'll go ahead and pull it up here on the
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: screen like you can see, you can go ahead and
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: click to Join the Nation right.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Here and again.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: If you never joined ship a Nation yet or never
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: got any packages the trial package, just get in start
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: you get all the sports.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: NB is still going on at NHL is still going on.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: We got PGA.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Obviously it's not not a great tournament this week, but
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: there's still money to be made in the PGA street streets.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: We've got the masters right around the corner. Trial nineteen
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: dollars get you five days. The ability and membership for
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: our partner over at Sabersim with the abilit did build
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: up to one hundred and fifty lineups. But more so
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: if you're here for baseball, which majority of you, if
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: not all of you, are in here outside of just
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: supporting us on the screen, I'm assuming most of you
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: are here for the MLB content and the breakdown that
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: we're going to get to here shortly single sport. We
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: did not have this last year. We do have it
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: this year. Monthly if you're just looking for content, only
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: twenty nine dollars a month. If you go to annual,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: it drops it down to under twenty dollars. I mean,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: you can't even go to go go grab a sub
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: sandwich nowt nowadays damn near at subway for under twenty dollars.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: You get all the content for MLB.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: But the best bet is to have an optimizer like
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the power of Sabersim, especially for a sport like MLB
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: or it is so correlation driven in terms of lineup construction,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: forty nine dollars a month.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: If you just go to.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Sabersim dot com, you can't even get this optimizer unless
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: you get all the sports and pay over one hundred
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: dollars a month. You get our content plus the optimizer
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: with the ability to build up the one hundred and
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: fifty lineups for like the Mini Max contest or any
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the even smaller stakes contest over there on DraftKings for
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: forty nine dollars a month, So get in there. Check
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: us out ship the Nation dot com. Again, we do
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: have like I talked about, the Masters coming back, so
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: you have the Masters special here up on the top
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: of the screen. But like I said, we did not
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: have single sport offering last year. So if you're looking
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: for a home for the MLB season here and even
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: for the rest of the sports, check us out there.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Best best rate in the industry, and safe to say
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: our content's pretty damn good too. If you if you've
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: seen the leaderboards, Ship Nation logos have been littered all
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: across the leaderboards for golf and MLB over the weekend.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: For sure, NBA same thing. Hell of a NBA team
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: with with yourself, Matt and Rio Ham title the rest
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: of the crew doing the NBA content there. But let's
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: jump right in here, Matt and go pictures. We're gonna
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: do like we always do. We'll go pittures. We'll go
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: eight K and above, eight K and below, and then
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: we'll go game by game, game by game order in
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: order of the Stone, one of our premium tools over here,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I'll pull it up and showcase it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It's really the one stop shop for everything baseball, right.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: It's got a rankings on it, hitter rankings, all all
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: the metrics, the iceos, the wobas, the k rates of
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the projections, ownership, everything in one spot. So we'll do that.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: But from a picture standpoint, it's a gross picture slate
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: in general. You're definitely gonna have to hope to find
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: the guys to score twelve to fifteen points, is what
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: it seems like.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: If you get fifteen sixteen draftings points here tonight from
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: your pitchers, you're probably feeling pretty damn good. And on
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: the other side, we're probably gonna see some pictures go
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: negative here tonight, just the nature of the way the
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: slate is. And I mean when one of the highest
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: on pitchers is in that Wrigly win game there. That's
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: telling you kind of the way the slate shaking up, right,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Edward Cabrera eighty five hundred win blown out obviously the
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: reason why the.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Cubs are gonna be the highest one offense on the slate.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Good reason.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: We know it's the most windedd wind driven park in
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: all of baseball, right, and you got some pretty hefty
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: wins blown out there in Wrigly, which obviously has a
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: higher effect than other places.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So talk to me in terms of the pitchers eight
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: King of Blove.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: You got Cabrera as probably the second high pitcher on
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the slate, from one of the guys we're going to
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: talk about later when we get to below a K.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: You got Swarz and Castillo, who kind of sandwich Cabrera.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Both of them are gonna be low owned, low or owned,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I should say. Castile gets a tough matchup against the Yankees, however,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: does have that good pitchers ballpark out there in Seattle.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Pitched really well last year at home. Yankees do have
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: a ton of power and a bunch of lefties. However,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: they also have a ton of strikeouts. Right.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of strikeouts.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: We've seen a lot of steiling performances from pitchers last
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: year against the Yankees. But when it goes bad, obviously
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: goes really bad. But you can say that about any
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: pitcher on the slate here, So talk to me about Cabrera, Castile,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and Swarz up at the top. Swars obviously lefty facing Houston, which.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Is never great.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: He is the highest priced guy, Clay Holmes, nobody really
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: going to get to Sasaki Wonkey. I mean, this dude
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: doesn't know where the ball is going when it feels
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: like when it leaves his arm, and obviously got the
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: short lease with Dave Roberts out there.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But what do you see here? A can above.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Obviously Cabrera by far and away, probably the highest ceiling
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: on the slate by a pretty wide margin out of anyone.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that. That being said, there isn't
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: a lot to like from the AK and above pitching
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: options tonight, just in terms of bad matchups, bad weather guys.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: You don't feel comfortable with all the above. So I
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: do think Cabrera is the best option. He projects for
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the most fantasy points pretty much industry wide. I don't
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: feel great about it. The Angel showed in Houston that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: they can get to any starter really, and with the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: wind blowing out and Wrigley like, it's not a great
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: weather spot for him. He's just getting hornershit because there
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: isn't really much to like on this slate. So I
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: don't know Between the two chalk pitchers today, which seemingly
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: is Cabrera and Pom, I think I'm more leaning into Hance,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: but we'll get there in a minute. Cabrera, obviously, as
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, his upside's real. The Angels strike out a ton.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I'm leary about playing him into ownership, though I don't
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: think he's a bad play. I think certainly, again to
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: your point, his upside's real, but I feel leery about it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: That said, I have very limited interest in Ranger Suarez
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: facing just a still really bad matchup for him facing
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Houston here. So I get it in tournaments because we
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: don't have good pitching options, but I don't think I'm
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: gonna get there. Same with Castillo. He's got the good ballpark,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: but obviously I don't like the matchup. I think Castillo's
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: best days are clearly behind him. He's just no longer
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the strike up pitcher he once was. He's priced where
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: he should be if not a little bit too expensive,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and the ownership is there. Like with pitching options like this,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: where I think a lot of these guys project similarly
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: to the guys cheaper than them, I'd rather go to
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: the guys cheaper than them. Outside of Cabrera, who I think,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: as you mentioned, and again i'll say for the third time,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: because this is the most upside of any of these guys,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: So he's my favorite of the bunch. I don't love
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: this range though, to be perfectly honest.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're lockstep there. I mean, I do think Cabrera.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: If there's one pitcher most likely to have a guy
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: to have it score on the slate, it's probably Cabrera,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: just because of the strikeouts right that this Angels team
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: has in it. Obviously they have a healthy trout right
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: now in netto who looks great and is going to
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: have a hell of a run, and those two alone
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: definitely do have stolen base potential. Angels in general don't
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: have a ton of speed, but those two guys will
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: speed or will steal. Caberra did a lot of the
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: most stolen bases of anyone in the majors last year
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: as well, so overall, I do like Cabrera.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I am worried on him.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: He's probably a guy where I'm probably gonna go right
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: around the field, if not a little under in my
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: MM stuff. I'm doing two main teams and some twenty
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: max stuff here tonight. I'll probably just be matched the
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: field or go a little under like probably twenty to
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: twenty five percent Cabrera, which is gonna be under the field,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: and just I have outs if he gets there, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I trust myself to build good rosters with Cabrera in general.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I don't love this range.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: It's not a typical slate where the top tier is loaded,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: right obviously when you get in the days four and
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: five of these teams rotations. This is kind of the
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: nature of slate swars. I have no interest in even
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: at the ownership. I mean, he's gonna be unknown there.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I just I think he's a solid pitcher. It's just
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I don't love attacking Houston. They're already a contact heavy
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: team and now they're gonna have eight righties to throw
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: at Swaz outside of yord On, who's one of the
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: best lefty lefty hitters anyways in the game.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: So I just think it's a brutal matchup for him.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I do have a little bit more interest in Castill
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: just because I do think I don't really truly believe
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: this ownership, because I think everyone's gonna go there, They're
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: gonna look at it and they're like, okay, if I'm
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: playing it, like, it's just so much easier to click
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Cabrera in a matchup against a strikeout happy Angels team,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: then look at Castillo clicking against Aaron Judge, and I
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: mean that that that roster, right, I mean, it's just
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: it's a tough click. I trust the upside in Castillo.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: I know he's not the same picture he has been.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: He has in his career fared pretty well against the
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Yankees as well, which obviously take that for face values,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: because obviously historical data isn't isn't the end all, be all,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: if any relevance in baseball. But I just do typically
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: like to look at that a little bit just for
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: kind of a deciding factor when I'm trying to find
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: pictures to play, right, I just think Castillo with the
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: ballpark compared to a wringlely win game, I'll take my
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: chance there with the strikeout, and I trust a veteran
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: to be able to navigate the lineup sparting off, and hey,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: even if those guys do get a hold of one,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: that ballpark does help him out of there.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: So Castillo is pretty interesting.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Clay Holmes, I think, would be the only other guy
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: to even have any sort of interest, which is still
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: not much. He's not a strikeout arm. He was about
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: an eighteen percent k rate last year. Pitches the contact there,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: and I mean, I get it, it's the Cardinals here,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: but Cardinals with JJ weatherhook he's he's looking great. Alec
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Burson's been on a tear. It's really good hitting Weather
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: in Bush Stadium here tonight too. So for me, it's
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: really Cabrara and Castillo up top. Really where the rubber
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: kind of meets the road here is below eight K
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: and this is where a majority of my teams are
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: gonna live.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Is just not even go up to any of these
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: spend ups.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I think Kyle Harrison's pretty interesting here, coming over from
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: the Giants to Milwaukee. Milwaukee, obviously he's my team. They
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: do a great great job of developing pitchers and kind
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: of seeking out pitchers that other teams are kind of
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: giving up on. And just didn't have a knack to develop.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Kyle Harrison also added another pitch to his arsenal. His
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: velocity looks pretty good. I think Kyle Harrison's pretty interesting.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I like the Milwaukee bats behind him too at home
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: to give him some run support there. So it's not
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the greatest matchup, but I mean outside of the top
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: of that lineup, I mean the raised lineup is looks atrocious. Obviously,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Cody Ponce, we don't know really what this guy's gonna be.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: He led KBO over last year. In terms of pitching.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: KBO is not the MLB, but again it's he's facing
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: the Rockies in Toronto and the Blue Jays have almost
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: a six implied run total behind him, so he's really
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: interesting to me. Jacob Lopez had huge strikeout numbers last year. Obviously,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: he was really splitsy pitched in that park and Sacramento
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: there I think for upside arm that people really aren't
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: gonna click at the same exact price point is the
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: highest on pitcher on the slate, and Ponts who I
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: do like, and if choosing between him or Cabrera, I'm
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: with you there.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I'm team Ponce.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Just due to the salary discount there, but I think
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Jacob Lopez is pretty interesting. And then the two guys
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: down at the bottom, Ryan Weather and Bryce Elder there
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: talk to me down here below eight k hit on
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: those guys I mentioned in any of these other guys
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: that I failed to mention here.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we see this slate pretty similarly. I think you
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: like Harrison a little bit more than me, not that
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I have any arguments against him, He just more looks
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: like lumped in with all these other guys in my opinion.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I think a big reason of that is he's getting
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: ownership because he's so cheap. I wish you were a
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: little bit lower owned, but can't quibble on it too much.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Weather's is my guy here. A big part of that
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: is he's the cheapest sixty three hundred, really good price tag.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I've always liked his stuff. He was up and down
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: in spring training, but his upside is just real in
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: this spot obviously a much better pitching park than he
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: normally pitches in. Again, another guy, I wish the ownership
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: wasn't there, but outside of Cabrera and Hans, ownership is
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: kind of just scattered throughout. So I like Weather's here
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: at that price tag, I don't think he should be
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: like a thousand cheaper than a lot of these other
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: pictures on the slate. So I think he's my favorite
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: SP two with Ponce. I don't love either of those guys,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: and I wouldn't be surprised if either of them got
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: rocks here, But that's kind of what we're dealing with
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: on this slate. Yeah, to your point, Harrison Milwaukee another
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: similar to Cleveland. Both teams are very good at developing pitchers.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't be surprised if he has a much better year
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: than he's shown in the Major so far. I don't
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: think I like the matchup as much as you. Again,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: not that I like Tampa bats here particularly. I just
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: think I'm kind of indifferent towards it. And again I
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: think he just kind of is lumped in with these
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: other guys. But wouldn't be surprised if he leads this
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: range in DK points when the slate is over. I'm
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: a big Parker messic guy. It's always like fighting with
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the devil trying to use a pitcher against the Dodgers.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: But he's a good pitcher and he's going to be really,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: really low owned he's the guy and more likely looking
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: at in the future. But if you want to get
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: on him tonight in large field of stuff when no
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: one's on him, you know, again maybe being a little
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: bit of a homer there but wanted to shout him out.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I can get on board with Jacob Lopez, big boom
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: bus spot in my opinion, wouldn't be shocked at Atlanta.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Hits a bunch of hole runs here and you end
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: up needing them in stacks or in tournaments as a stack.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: But on the flip side of that, if Lopez has
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: his best stuff here, he's got a real strikeout upside.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: So I see both sides of that, and on a
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: pitching slate we don't love. Yeah, I can definitely get
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: on board there. All the other guys kind of just
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I think can throw in like Elder. I understand why
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: you'd play him because he's really cheap and he gets
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: a really good strikeout matchup. We saw what the Athletics
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: just did in Toronto, so I get going to Elder.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: He was pretty decent in spring training. He's just a
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: guy I'd rather pick on than us, and I like
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: the Apple Xays stacked tonight, so I get it, But
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I'm on the other side of that, and I think
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: you can make cases for legit every other pitcher on
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: this slate, just because there aren't really two guys I love.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: But I think I'm gonna mostly stick to the Cabreras,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Ponce's weathers, and then like Harrison, you know, maybe Messik
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: mixed in. I don't know how many lineups I'm gonna play,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: but I'm gonna I'm probably not gonna have that big
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: of a pool, even though I don't love anyone on
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: this slate.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I think you can pretty clearly at least this is
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: kind of what my pitching pool is gonna look like.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: These seven guys.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Again, I already talked about kind of matching the field
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: with Cabrera being a little under I like to see
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: you a little more than you. I like Harrison a
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: little more than you. Ponce, I'm gonna kind of push
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: the chips on and just eat that chalk there. I
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: just think it's the matchup against the Rockies. He should
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: have run support. Hopefully you can get me to the
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: fifth inning and there should be no pitch count concerns
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: there at least to get to the fifth inning. And
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: uh get in line for the win bonus, Lopez, I
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: really like just for the strikeout upside. I mean this
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: this matchup could go very bad. Like you alluded to,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: right he does keep the ball on the ground at
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: least to lefties, has a thirty percent k rate to
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: lefties as well, still has the twenty nine per k
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: rate to righty's, which there could be some kind of
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: nuance or some some noise in those numbers just from
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: from last year. But he does give up fly balls
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: and some power to righty's however, I mean, really Austin
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Riley and Alby's are the only two really fly ball
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: hitters that that are going to hit from the right side.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: So if he can navigate around those, I mean he
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: has guys that obviously Ronald Lacuna too, but Akunya hasn't
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: looked great yet. I just think if he can avoid
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: or even if he does give up a home run
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: er two, I mean there's a lot of these guys.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, every pitcher on the slate can get equally
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: blown up in my opinion, that than the next guy.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: So a guy that's really not going to get played
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: much has the highest strikeout rates at least based on
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: last year's numbers on the slate.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I think he's pretty interesting in price all.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: There is just more of a He's down there as
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: a pivot off of Ryan Weathers and he is sixty
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: five hundred, right, And there's just not a lot of
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: guys who have.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Good matchups.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Age just struck out an absolute crap
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: tone against the Blue Jays. I mean you saw yesterday
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: what's his face? I was overweight on him for the
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Blue Jays. Eric Lauer have nine k's against him, Gosman
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: had what twelve k's and what's his face?
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Out eleven? Right, So they just strike out a ton.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: So Bryce Elder I do think it is a plus
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: matchup for him in terms of strikeouts. He's gonna be
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: unknown too with Weathers there for good reason, right, Weather's
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: great play.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I'm with you there.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: So my kind of lower own guys are are Lopez
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Elder on the slate in terms of pitching. Let's go
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: ahead and jump over and share the stone here. We
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: had a question in the chat here on how to
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: read the stone, so it's pretty easy. These numbers are
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: all based on this season, so we did already switch over.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: So Obviously some of these numbers are pretty inflated just
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: based on what their small small samples are front from
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: the year. But team on the left is the is
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: the away team team and the right is the home team.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: All of these numbers reflected like the ex wall ball,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: the x IO, they're k rates. Everything is all adjusted
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: based on home road splits.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Right. We do know hitters.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Tend to like the backdrops right after looking the pitchers
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: they can pick it up easier, things like that. Right,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: So all of these metrics on the screen here you
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: do see our home road splits, so they're all all
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: dated as well as the pitcher's numbers. Right. Obviously we're
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: not gonna have a bunch of pitchers metrics in here
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: because a guy like Cody Ponce never played in the majors.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Rights based based on recent So first game, we got
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: the Rockies, We've got the Blue Jays. Blue Jays are
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: probably going to be right up there with the Cubs
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: in terms of ownership for a good reason.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: This is a really good offense, really really good offense
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: all year.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: We're gonna play them a ton Okamoto coming in, just
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: hit a bomb yesterday. He's got tons of in there.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I mean Addison Barjer you got him in the four spot.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Tons of power there. He's super cheap. Hey, Sus Sanchez
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: hit a bomb yesterday too. Lefties killed Sigano, and Sigano
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: is by far and away the worst pitcher on the slate.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Extreme flyball guy, this is just an absolute atrocious matchup
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: for Segano. I think the Blue Jays are in line
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: for the highest stone stacks or the best stack on
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: the slate, even ahead of the Cubs in my opinion,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: even with that win game. We see it all too often, right, Matt,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Everyone sees win blown out at Wrigley just naturally just
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: goes over there and just slams the chips in on
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: that game and kind of looks past a lot of
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: the other teams that can definitely contest. And we've seen
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: it all too often, right, I see win games all
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: the time at Wrigley, and like a five to four
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: game with like one home run, two home runs, right.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Stuff like that.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: So I think the Blue Jays are really interesting facing
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: the worst pitcher on the league are on the slate
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: for sure, and then a really really bad bullpen behind him.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: What do you see here, Toronto and the Rockies.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you all over with the Toronto stack.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, they just look really good here. It's hard
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: to argue I don't know how you could argue Toronto here.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: They're not even projected to be that highly owned because
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: of the Cubs, as you mentioned, I mean for my money,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: and that doesn't mean they're my favorite tournament stack on
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: the board. I think on paper they look like the
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: best stack on the board, even over the Cubs. I
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: like their matchup better. You've got the wind blowing out,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: but you get Siganu and then this awful Rockies bullpen
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: a ton of win equity. You know, well, it doesn't
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: even matter for their stack. But yeah, there's just so
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: much to like about Toronto here, not the least of
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: which being their price tags. You got to cheap Hezu
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Sanchez Barger's too cheap like Springer and Ladder priced up,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: but the other guys aren't, so you can play really
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: good guys with the Toronto stack. Yeah. I like them
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: quite a bit here. It's hard not to like them,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: and I think in tournaments and large field tournaments you
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: can make a case for a Rocky stack for sure.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Pont's gonna be real highly owned in my opinion, unproven
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: at the MLB level. As you mentioned, the KBO is
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: not MLB. He was really good there doesn't mean it's
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: going to translate immediately, and it's baseball. So against probably
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: what's going to be the highest ooned pitcher on the board,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: because if anything, I think he gets steam and Cabrera
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: lose his ownership if I had to choose between any
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: of those happening. So in for my money, he's gonna
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: be the highest owned pitcher on the board. When you've
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: got a guy like that getting so much ownership, that's
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: just an unknown. There's the case right there to be
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: made for using Colorado in some tournaments. I don't think
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I'll get there, but again, wouldn't shock me if they're
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: on the winner tonight at least some Rockies here, just
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: because of again, how much of an unknown pnce is
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: That being said, Ponce and the Blue Jays both look
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: like arguably the best pitching option and arguably the best
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: stack on the board. I think playing them together makes
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of sense, and I think just loading up
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: on them in any format makes all the sense in
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: the world. So we see it pretty similarly here.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I'm with you there on the Rockies.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: I think he can pick some of these guys that
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: that hit right hand and pitching pretty well. Obviously, lefties
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: typically have an advantage. Jake McCarthy has power, he's super cheap.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: TJ.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Rumfield their their young kid. He's showing a ton of power.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: He has right hand and pitching. He's twenty five hundred
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: at first base. No one's gonna play him. Julian tons
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: of power. Got pinch hit a ton in Minnesota. I
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: just don't think the Rockies really care that much, or
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: they don't really don't have guys that are are quality
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: MLB players to to really mess around with pinch hitting
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: too much. They're gonna be doing everything they can to
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: kind of hit forty wins this season in my opinion.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: So Julian there, I think is pretty interesting. Goodman's always
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: a great option at catcher, So I think you can
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: pick some guys off here. I'm not probably full acting
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: the Rockies by any means, but again, I full stacked
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: the White Sox yesterday and they were completely unknowned against
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: a pitcher who got some ownership and nobody was on them.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: So again, it's baseball, and that's the that's the beauty
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: of a portfolio. Are the Rockies the main team or
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: single entry cash three max stuff?
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: But in M and ME, Ponce is probably gonna push
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: sixty percent. In high stakes single entry stuff like the
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: one twenty one, Punce is probably fifty to sixty percent owned,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: just like yesterday we saw. I'm drawing a blank on
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: his name now, but he he came in at like
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: sixty percent owned in the one twenty one yesterday.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I expect that for Ponce for a good reason.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: However, you now take one hundred people in.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: A room and you instantly throw sixty of them out
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: of the room, and then the remaining forty how many
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: of those are playing Rockies probably three to four maybe,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: So then you're just contesting with a lot less people
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: to get to the top. And in baseball where especially
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: like in the contest tonight at the five dollars fifty
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: k up top, where a lot more people just throw
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty in there and kind of just
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: bindly run shit. I mean, I don't, I don't hate
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: the Rockies as minis I talk about Runfield.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I think he's good.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Jake McCarthy, Julian and Hunter Goodman Tovar are kind of
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: the main guys I'd look at there. I'm really not
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: stacking them. Blue Jay's one through nine, great plays. Definitely
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: love the lefties. Varshow's probably one of my favorite plays
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: on the entire slate. Jumping over to Atlanta, Bryce Elder
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Jacob Lopez, we saw we talked about both these pitchers,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: at least I did in terms of pitching, but on
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: hitting side, right, This is another spot.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Benefit of a portfolio.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: You can definitely play a guy like Shay lang Lears
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: who has some of the arguably right up there with
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: guys like Cal Raleigh at the catcher position for sure,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: but in all of baseball in terms of power. Soderstrom's great,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Rookers great, Jacob Wilson's a great. Lawrence Butler has power.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Jeff McNeil's a contact guy. They have struck struck out
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: a ton. Bryce Elder's not the same strikeout guy, is
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: what The A's just faced up in Toronto with their
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: pitching staff. They also got the front end of the
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: rotation there in Toronto. Now they're getting the back end
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: of the rotation here in Atlanta. A's and Braves here.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: What do you see, Yeah, I think I'm gonna push
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: my chips in a little bit on the A's here. Again,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Elder's never a guy I'm afraid to stack against. I
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: like the ballpark for them here. I like the upside
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: for them here as far as their home run equity goes.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: And I love the ownership because they're pretty expensive, but
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: that doesn't really matter to me on this slate because
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: there's not much opportunity cost a pitcher, so I will
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: just spend up to be contrading on a stack that
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: has a lot of home run up side. I get
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: it they strike out a ton. I don't think Elder's
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: like the worst pitcher in the world, but he's a
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: guy that can get gotten, especially if he doesn't have
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: his best stuff. So I just like their upside here.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I think he made a totally reasonable case about hit
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: playing Elder himself in tournaments because of his price tag.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: But the flip side of that is he's not great.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: There's a reason he's that cheap, and the Athletics have
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: home run upside, so I think they're a team I'm
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: gonna go pretty heavy on in tournaments because again, I
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: just like their upside here. And then Atlanta, I feel
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: similarly about them as I do Lopez himself. I think
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: each side has considerable upside. I'm leaning towards the Lopez
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: side just because I'm with you. Guy that has, you know,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: some of the highest strikeout upside on a slate without
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: good pitching options isn't gonna get a lot of ownership.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I'm willing to rock with that. On the flip side
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: of that, though, I'm certainly willing to say that Atlanta
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: has upside here if Lopez again is off in any way,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: because Atlanta is a lineup full of good hitters and
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: they have power. So both sides of that of that
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: are appealing to me in tournaments, and again I think
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go a little bit push my chips in
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: with the athletics here. How do you see it?
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the only thing that's scaring me off is I mean,
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: if you watch that game yesterday, right, they're I mean, acuon,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: you should have had a home run. The ball just
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: got out there and just kind of dropped out of
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: the sky. They had a couple of them like that.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: And the weather's going to be the same here today.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: I mean it's mid sixties in Truest Park.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Win blown in.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Nothing crazy, but like six to ten miles an hour
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: or something like that. I'm seeing like six miles an
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: hour or so right now, bro blowing in. So that
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: does help both of the case. Especially for a guy
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: like Jacob Lopez who's a fly ball guy to Righty's,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: that does help the case to play him more for upside,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: especially at the low ownership. Same thing, it does help
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Elder a little bit too. Right a contact type pitcher,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: and this is obviously a plus strike up matchup. You
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: see the A's total here forty three percent strikeout rate
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: on the road against right hand and pitching. Obviously, it's
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: a very very small sample, only three games up there
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: in Toronto, and again I say the same thing, this
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: is not the same picture as they just faced.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: However, home runs might be mitigated here, at least somewhat.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: So could Shae lan Lears, Nick Kurtz, who obviously Rookie
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: of the Year last year, Soders Trump, Brent Rooker, Ronald
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: the Kunya, Albi's Riley. All these guys can hit home runs.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: I just I don't love it from a stacking perspective.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: I think mini state are pretty interesting if needed, But
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I do like some sneaker teams on the slate, so
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: for offense purposes wise here, I just don't love it.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: A ton shy ling lear is obviously a great play
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: at a catcher position. If I think it's a good
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: by low spot on Acuna, everyone's kind of sold him
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: off after one series. It's still one of the best
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: players in them will be, especially when he's healthy. Hopefully
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: he stays healthy all year for the sake of baseball,
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: in the sake of the Braves. But you don't see
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Ronald Leucunya at ten percent or under very often over
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: the course of the season, especially at that price point.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I mean we saw him over six K a lot
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: of the times, right obviously, double home run power and
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: speed there, So I don't love it. I think Ministax
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: is fine. Braves do have a pretty good run total.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Jacob Wilson is a flyball guy. The hitter rankings look
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: pretty solid for these Braves. I just don't love the
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: game too much in general. Can't play everyone, so I'm
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: gonna be definitely probably like the field not on that
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: game too much. There takes us to the Chalky's game
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: of the slate for good reason obviously. I mean, look
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: at this combined howners up in the Cubs one hundred
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: and two percent. I think that's probably still even a
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: little light. Angels bullpen is absolutely atrocious. They got just
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: absolutely lit up to against Houston. Those games went bonker
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: as soon as the starters came out of that game.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: There was literally home run galore, runs galore in that
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Houston LA series. So they already burned through a bunch
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: of other shitty bullpen in general. Now they got a
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: guy in Ryan Johnson who I don't think is very
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: good at all. Obviously there's some money on there. We
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: don't know too much about him. Cubs far and away
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: the chalkiest and quote unquote the best stack on the board.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: I've just seen it far too often with these Wrigley
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: win games.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Obviously the bullpen is helping the cause there. It's not
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: a good starter, the winds blown out. It's also like
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: seventy degrees in Chicago, which is crazy this time of
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: the year. I think the Cubs are great, like everyone says,
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: but I think the Angels are getting slept on here. Obviously,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Netto and Troder are gonna get played a little bit,
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: but I mean ten percent in baseball is nothing. Both
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: have power speed combination. Talked about Cabrera giving up a
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: ton of stolen bases. I think he's interesting, and the
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Angels power I think here is pretty interesting. Guy like
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Josh Low, who nobody's gonna play at thirty six hundred
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: in the outfield, I think he's interesting. Paraza has stolen
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: base upside there first play him at second base, which
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: guys like terrang and up at the top Nico Horner
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: are gonna be super popular there in that low.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Four k range.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: I think a guy like Paraza here with a little
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: like nine to one to two stack for the Angels, right, Paraza,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Natal Trout all have some power at times and can
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: steal bases.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I think that's pretty interesting.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: So I like both sides of this game, obviously in tournaments,
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: but the Angels in larger field tournaments I think are
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: really interesting. Here.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: What do you see?
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: You also get the leverage against Cabrera here, who's gonna
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: get ownership just because of the lack of pitching options.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: So I can get up board with the Angels. Hard
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: to get away from the Cubs. I mean, I'm probably
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: not gonna play them, but it's not like I don't
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: like them here. I just don't like the ownership compared
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: to some other teams that I think are also in
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: good spots. That they might not be in as good
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: a spot as the Cubs, but the ownership isn't going
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: to be there. So I'm going to kind of play
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: at how you are that maybe the wind game just
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: brings in so much ownership and it doesn't play amazing.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, certainly this game could have some runs and
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: a home run or two and not be the game
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: you need. So yeah, I like the Angel shout out
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: just because they're also playing in this weather spot and
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: they're going against the chalky pitcher, but they're in a
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: tough spot on paper, facing Cabrera here much better bullpen
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: than the Cubs are facing, So I get both sides
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: of it. Certainly, in cash games, I think it's kind
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: of a mix between the Cubs and the J's, and
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: then in tournaments both those teams look really, really good.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: But because there's such a lack of good pitching options today,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: there's also other really good stacks, which we'll get to.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: So I do only you have to play either of
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: those teams in single entry or three max type stuff
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: just because of the nature of baseball. So I like
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: both of them a lot. Cubs on paper tough to
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: get away from, but that's probably what I'm gonna do.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you there, Cubs are not gonna make
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: either of my two main teams. I'm just gonna roll
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: the dice. I mean, I just think, I mean, it's
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: just if you play the Cubs, you're gonna have to
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: nail the right five.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's exactly it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: It's like you're literally, I mean it's it's like a fifty, right,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: You're like flipping a coin almost, right, like of the
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: nine hitters, Right, you got to pick the right five
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: because people are gonna slam the Cubs, especially in MME stuff.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: And if you have.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: One bust in the Cubs, yeah, you're probably gonna make money,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: but you're probably not gonna get all the way to
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: the top obviously, right, definitely, because there is gonna be
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: people that probably locking the Cubs at sixty seventy percent
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: of their teams if not higher. Right, So it's just
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: a spot where I see, like, I mean, yeah, these
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: guys can hit home runs, right, Like I mean, PCA
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: obviously a great play, Michael Bush a great play. Bregman
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: is gonna be inflated at third base, which is a
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: pretty weak position, especially coming off the two home runs yesterday. Right,
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: everyone just says what do you do for me lately?
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: And I think the.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Cubs are going to be a boom bust offense all year.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: We saw it already in their first series, right, they
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: failed as chalk the one time and then they smashed
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: the other two times. Right, So like it's just it's
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: a tough situation. If the wind wasn't here, I mean,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: I think there'd be less people talking about the Cubs
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: and more people talking about the J's and teams like
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: the Brewers, the Mets, the Dodgers. Right, And just because
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: there's ten twelve, fifteen min on our wins, whatever it is,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: blown out in Wrigley, they're just naturally getting slammed into
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: everyone's team. So they're a great play by all means.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: It's just I'm with you there in tournaments. I just
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: think there's other offenses that can match them here, right,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, the next game we're going to talk about
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: the Brewers.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna play them.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Not many people are on the Dodgers, which we're going
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: to talk about later right, the best offense in baseball.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: So I just think at tournaments there's other other spots.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and finish what you were saying, and then
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: take us into the Milwaukee and Tampa Here.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: I'm just completely on order what you're saying. Like the Cubs,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: there's nothing really about them. In my opinion, it looks
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: all that special. Like I get it, they're facing an
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: unknown picture. The weather's the winds blowing out, but the
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: ownership is just inflated. And I'm personally not trying to
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: have to pick the best five man Cubs stack with
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: the best pitching options. Like, if the Cubs go off,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: that's what you're gonna need. So I'd probably play one
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: of these teams that are lower owned, but if they
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: get there, you have just a much better chance of
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: getting to the top. So I personally don't love the
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Cubs enough where I feel the need to play them.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: There will be chalk teams in MLB where I will
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: play because every slate is different in its own entity,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: but tonight is not that slate. I like lower owned offenses.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I already talked about the Athletics, you mentioned the Brewers,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers. I like the Guardians and lots of Saki
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: stinks the Red Sox like, there are other stacks that
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: I can get definitely get on or that could see
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: winning tournaments tonight, that will just be a lot easier
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: to beat the field with. If those teams go off,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: then the Cubs, who will get so much ownership, so
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: we see it the same man.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Awesome take us into uh to the Rays here and
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: the Brewers. Nick Martinez coming over from Cincinnati, there definitely
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: a player who's probably gonna get be better developed in
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Tampa just in that organization compared to Cincinnati. And obviously
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: it's a get getting out of a great American small
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: park there. Obviously, stein Brenner Field is another stadium where
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: he's not gonna have very pitcher pitcher friendly conditions pitching
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: at home in Tampa here, but obviously he's in in
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Miller Park. I'm gonna always call it Miller Park American
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Family Field. Now roof's probably gonna be closed. I haven't looked,
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: but either way, Milwaukee does play more hitter friendly than
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: pitcher friendly here. Brewers not just because they're my team,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: but I mean they just they're They're a tricky matchup
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: for any pitcher, especially a pitcher in Nick Tinaz who
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: struggles against lefties. The Brewers are gonna throw seven lefties
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: at him. There is some pinch hit concerns with guys
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: like Jake Bauers and uh, guys like maybe David Hamilton,
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: but really Jake Bauers and probably Renhifo are the two
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: pinchhick guys there. But having Teran contrerez Yelich in the
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: lineup and the injuries that they have, I don't think
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: there's a ton of pinch hit concerns there. Nick Martinez
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: just really pitches the contact, gets gives up fly balls
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: and powered, especially to the lefties. But even so to to
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: right he's there. I think the Brewers, I mean, they're
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: sub ten percent all of their hitters. Nobody's talking about them.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: And I mean they just scored a gazillion runs over
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: the over the the weekend, and they steal a ton
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: of bases, right, they had seven stolen the bases on
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: what Sunday or Saturday.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just think this is a great spot, right.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Obviously, the Ray's bullpen is pretty solid and better than
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: the White Sox there, but I think this is a
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: really good spot for the Brewers stack, and I'm not
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: seeing anybody really get to them. And on the race side,
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: caviniro Yandy Diaz, Lefty Powers right. I think those guys
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: are obviously great plays, but more so interest for me
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: on the birth side, what do you see here?
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you all around here. So just because
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: of how this slate breaks down, I like Harrison more
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: than I like the Rays. Nick Martinez never a guy
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: that I'm afraid to pick on, and he was awful
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: in spring training twenty nine hits and thirteen and two
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: thirds innings. Yeah, the Brewers look good here, just as
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: an effort to save time because we've got a bunch
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: more games to go into. I won't even go in
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: that much more detail because I agree with you. I
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: think the Brewers look really really good here as a
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: full stack. As pieces, however you want to play them,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: I don't feel that much different about them than I
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: do some of the other stacks that I've talked about,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: so I don't have to play them. But if you
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: had them as your top tournament stack, I wouldn't argue
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: with you at all.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure takes us in the next game here.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: This is one of gonna be a team that does
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Darner some ownership here for in the Mets. Obviously, it's
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: good hitting Weather here, full nining in of bats here
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: for the Mets.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: In Saint Louis.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: And uh, a horrible bullpen. I mean, Saint Louis's bullpen
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: is gonna be trash all year. We're gonna definitely be
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: playing teams against the Cardinals all year. Their team is
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: just bad in general, but they do have some some
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: guys like the Nolan Gorman who has some power. Weatherholts
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: looks great to start his career. Burlison's just been absolutely
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: ripping the cover off the baseball. I think he's a
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: really really good play and I think though Weather Hilt, Burlison,
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: first base, second base, little mini stack there, nobody's gonna
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: play them. I think that's really interesting against a guy
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: who pitches the contact in Clay Holmes here and the
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: Mets seem pretty interesting to me. Another pivot off of
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: the Cubs at very similar salaries lind Or Bashett Soto,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Planco Beaty. I mean, the back half hurts a little bit,
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: but Carson Benge has looked really good. I think the
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: Mets are pretty interesting here.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: What do you see. Yeah, I think both teams in
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: playing tournaments tonight. I think the Mets just in terms
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: of being one of the top stacks on the board.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Kyle Lee he a pitch sure that. I think the
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Mets can definitely get to here. Pretty good hitting weather
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: in this spot. So yeah, I like the Mets just
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: as an overall stack here. They're kind of pricey and
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: the guys you want, but they've got Jared Young to
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: balance that out at two K. And again, price doesn't
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: really matter on this late I like cheap pitching options.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: When I say like it's relative because I don't really
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: like any pitching options, but I'll play the cheaper ones,
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: so getting to expensive stacks not an issue. Mets definitely
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: in play in that regard. And then the Cardinals, I
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: don't know how much I'm gonna get there because I
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: don't think it's the slate for it. But in the
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: slate plan I wrote them up as the top value stack,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: and I think they're unequivocally that, Like, they're way too cheap.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: They've been good. They're not a great offense, but they've
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: got good hitters in their lineup. Obviously, the rookie up
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: top now running a little bit. They've got some power
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: if Jordan Walker stays hot like mine up all of
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: a sudden length in a little bit. If we had
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: like thud pitchers on this slate like opening Day, I'd
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: really consider them. I just don't think it's a slate
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: for it because they're so cheap, and I just don't
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: think it's needed at the end of the day. I'd
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: just rather play better offenses.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you there. I do think Burlason
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: and weather Hill both both make the case. I mean
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: they're both gonna be unowned. They both second base is
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: gonna be soaked up by guys like Nico Horner, Bryce
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: Terrang but even Terrain's not really gonna get ownership, but
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: really guys like Nico Horner and all those Cubs guys. So,
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, Burlaston at four k, Weatherholder at thirty three hundred.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: I think it's pretty interesting and maybe in like a
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Dodger stack, right, you play the value here to to
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: afford the Otani's, to afford the cow, to afford the
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman's right, Dodgers aren't going to be unowned, and
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: you get two quality hitters in Weatherhold of Berlaston who
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: are on fire to start the year. I'm there, but yeah,
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: not much more to say on either side there. I
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: think we're both pretty aligned there. I don't think the
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Cardinals is a stacker the best player on the slate
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: on a ten game slate, just because I mean, you're
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: probably gonna leave a ton of a ship ton of
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: salary on the board, which is fine. If if they
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: are the highest scoring offense on the slate, yeah, you're
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: probably gonna win all the money. I just more like
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: them as one officer or fillers, and mainly those that one, three,
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: five right, Gorman, weather Hill, Burlison are kind of the
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: guys I'm looking at there.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I will say, oh, go ahead, just real quick, Like,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: if you do love the Cardinals as a full stack,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be afraid to stack them because I do
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: think their ownership. This is almost like a rare occurrence
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: that you'll see sometimes in MLB because there are no
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: expensive pitching options and the Cardinals are so cheap. They're
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: inexpensive price tags will almost lower their ownership because in
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: order to five man stack them, you're almost guaranteed to
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: leave salary on the board. A lot of people don't
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: want to do that. So they're not my favorite stack,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: but I wouldn't be afraid to play them and leave
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: salary on the board.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: All say, yeah, what about playing a five man Cardinal
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: stack with a guy like ring Swore is up at
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: the top and another spind up picture not Cabrera, right,
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: and just totally flip the build. You go five five Dodgers,
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: You go five Dodgers five or five Dodgers, Uh, your
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: your Cardinals, or you go like a four to three
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Dodgers Cardinals with two spend up pictures when everybody wants
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: to play punts in in Cabrera right. So that's a
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: different way you can flip that on it on its
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: head too, that I think could be interesting, And yeah,
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: you're one hundred percent right. You run, you run teams.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: Cardinals are just not gonna get thrown in there because
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: the salary is not needed. And that doesn't mean they're
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: bad plays or they're bad leverage or tournament plays, just
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: because we have no spend up pictures that people want
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: to play. I think that's a that's a great call
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: out there. Next game here, Astros Red Sox swears on
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: the mound Lance mccullors. I just don't think mccullors is
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: is right. I just I think he's broken. I think
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: the Red Sox are really really interesting here. Roman, Anthony
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: Roman the Great during Willia or Bray, you hit a
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: bomb yesterday.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I like him.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Marcela Mayor has some upside there, young prospect for the
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: Red Sox there.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox are pretty interesting here.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: They kind of fit the build of the Brewers and
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: offense that is history is gonna be pretty solid all
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: season long. They have home runs, they have power, or
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: they have speed.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: The Astros bullpen is good. Mccullors is not that great.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: You just saw what the Angels did to the Astros
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: pitching staff over the weekend. I think the Red Sox
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: are pretty damn interesting here.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: What do you see?
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we see this very eye to eye. I think
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: the Red Sox might be my favorite tournament stack on
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: the board with the A's. I think the A's might
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: have higher home run ceiling. I think the Red Sox
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: are just a better offense and have our more likelihood
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: to get there than the A's are. Mccullor's very boom boxed,
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: and when he's off, he puts guys on base. He
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: leaves pitches over the middle. I'm in on Boston here.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: I think their upside is real. They're not going to
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: get owned. Yeah, they're one of the other teams. I
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: talked about that, like they're not in as gonna spot
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: on paper as the Cubs or the Blue Jays. And yeah,
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: you could say the Blue Jays have a better offense,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: but I think Boston's offense is really good, especially for
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: DFS purposes, and it's an ownership game and they're not
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: gonna get nearly the love, and I think the upside
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: is just as high. So I'm in on Boston here.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: I also like as the show has gone on, I
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: saw Philly Phantom comment on it, I could get on
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: board with Suarez, Like I don't like the spot and
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: he's not like a number one like Ace Ace, but
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: he's like a low end number one to meet, and
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: he's cheap like he might be he might be the
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: best overall pitcher on this slate, and that might not
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: even be really close right now. So because of that,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: he's under nine K. I like Boston offense, so pairing
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: them together you get some win equity. I'm liking Boston
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: a lot as the show goes on their offense, and
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: then I think I'm more in on Suarez than originally
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: than originally thought.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't hate it by it by any means there,
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: I think it's pretty interesting. Again, no one's gonna play Suarez,
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Anyone's No one's clicking that he's ranked fourth in our
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: pitcher rankings. There is strikeouts in this this Astras lineup,
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: and he keeps the ball on the ground anyways, Right,
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: So I do think he's the more of the show
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: comes on and we're trying to we're starve for pitching.
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: I think he's an interesting pivot right there, off with Cabrera,
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: who even in the win game is just getting ownership
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: due to people buying on his talent, but more so
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: the Cub's run total and the win equity and everything there.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: So we see it pretty similar here. I and another
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: thing too, Look at the bullpen for the Astro seventy
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: three pitches, forty thirty nine, thirty five, thirty five, twenty three,
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: twenty two. I mean, it's game four of the year.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: That's a pretty damn text bullpen. I know it's early
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: in the year and these guys' arms are fairly fresh,
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: but still, I mean, they could if mccullors just doesn't
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: have it, they could just leave them out here hung
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: out to dry, you know what I mean. I mean
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: they used five bullpen arms yesterday alone on Sunday, one
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: of those throwing forty seven pitches in Munio's So that's
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: another call out. I know, I talk about bullpen's a
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: ton middle of the season and the further we get
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: into the season, But I get it. I mean, you
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: just they just had a hell of a series against
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: the Angels. Tons of runs were scored. I really love
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: the Boston Bats here.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: There three games off to talk about here, we'll cruise
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: through for the most part this game.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: I just don't love much from a DFS side.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: The worst park on the slate in my opinion, for
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: hitting outside of maybe San Diego, which is the next
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: game we're going to talk about here. Yankees obviously, Yeah,
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: ballinger Rice Stanton Grisham, Judge, those guys can all hit
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: Homelands Jazz. It's just Luis Castillo, I think, is a
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: good enough pitcher. The ballpark sucks. I don't love the
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: spot for offense on either side. What do you see here.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, just this ballpark. If the Yankees
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: so like you like a Steel more than me, so
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: naturally I might like the Yankees a little bit more
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: than you. But I think I'd rather play this Steel
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: than stack the Yankees on this slate, just in terms
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: of how pitching breaks down, Probably just a spot all
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: avoid I like Weathers here, he's too cheap for his upside.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Feel kind of similarly about him as you do, and
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: maybe I do. Lopez strike got upside in this spot.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: No cal Rally tonight, I'm in on Weathers here. I
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: think it's the only piece of the game that would
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: be a priority for me. Obviously, the Yankee stack always
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: in play.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say, do expect.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: Don't think you're getting Weathers low owned, especially with that
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: cal Raleigh news his ownerships. It's probably I mean, I
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be shocked to see a bunch of punts Weather's pairings,
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: to be honest, and to spend up Blue Jays and
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: comes bats together. I mean, that's just gonna be their
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: chalk combination. So if you do that, just know you're
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: holding hands with that everyone else And you got to
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: get the lottery ticket right and hit your nine leg
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: parlay right as everyone else, and pick the right three
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Yankees or the right three Cubs in Blue Jays and
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: the other five from the same teams correctly as everyone else.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: Obviously that's any slates, but really so tonight, I'd be
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: shocked not to see a bunch of Ryan Weathers and Ponts.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Not saying it's a bad.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: Combination, but maybe that's a that's a spot where you
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: go to the Dodgers, you go to the Brewers, you
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: go to the Red Sox, which we already talked about,
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: and play it differently. Right, you're still eating the chalk
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: at pitcher, but you're getting different from hitters and you
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: have no or you have no Blue Jays, you have
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: no Cubs in your lineup, right. I mean these guys
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: fail seven out of ten times in their Hall of Famers, right,
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: So again, I talk about it all the time.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: That's a little thing to get.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Different there from a rush construction standpoint, And that's like,
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: that's how I like to play dfast, right. I don't
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: want to min cash and hold hands with everyone else.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I want to either lose or win all the money. Right,
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: So that's what we're in it for. You're going to
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: lose a lot more slates than you're gonna win. When
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: you win, you want to hit it big right to
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: cover all of those losses and then some to build
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: that mank roll. So next game in the slate, Padres Giants,
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: pretty similar to the last game. Not much interest here
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: from me in a DFS standpoint. I just don't think
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Walker Beeler is any good. So if you wanted to
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: roll the dice on the Giants, right, I kind of
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: put the Giants in the tier that you do with
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: the a's right. I think the Giants are fairly interesting.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: I hate the ballpark.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: I hate it. Padre's bullpen is really really good.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: But again, if you're really looking for teams there, I
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be shocked to see the Giants in MM set
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: be kind of like the White Sox from yesterday, absolutely unknown.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: They go and score six to seven runs and they
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: find their way. Is kind of fillers in winning lineups.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: So what do you see here, Padres Giants.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see a lot, man, I just don't
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: see it. It's gonna be really tough to get to
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: these West Coast games offensively when we've got like basically
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: any other games on the slate. Now, it's not like
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: we've got amazing while the spots outside of Chicago. It's
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: not like these pitchers are amazing, but they're not awful.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know, I just don't see much from
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: this game. It's baseball, so like, absolutely nothing would shock
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: me if either of these stacks went off. I wouldn't
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: be shocked at all. It would just take me a
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: bunch of lineups to get to edit anything in this game.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Pitching stacks one offs are different, but it's just really
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: hard to see prioritizing either pitcher or either stack here.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: Do you agree?
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: It's just more so I think Walker Bieler is trash personally,
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: so that's kind of the reason they're But it's definitely
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: not get that. It's probably twenty plus teams, to be honest,
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: I might have a sprinkle a giant in or in
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: my twenty max, but there's so many other offenses that
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: we talked about six to eight offenses and either of
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: these teams probably don't hit that list, and we already
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: talked about a bunch of them, and we're gonna talk
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: about two of them to at least two more. If
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: not three more in these next two games there, So
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: I think it's pretty safe to say don't really worry
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: about that game too much on either side, pitching or hitters.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: In San Diego there obviously, the Padres lineup looks pretty
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: damn good on paper, and you got a lot of
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: name recognition in that lineup.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: It's just I just, I mean, the Giants just don't.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I don't love it.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Giants had a good bullpen last year. I expect more
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: of a pretty decent bullpen again this season. So it's
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: not a spot I think you got to get too
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: too often here tonight. If any takes us in the
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: next game, though, it's probably going to be a spot
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: where we see the Dodgers at some of the lowest
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: ownership we're gonna see all year.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Messik Is. I do like this kid. I think he
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: has upside.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: He's gonna have ceiling performances more often than probably not
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: this season.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: This is a very, very very boom bust matchup for
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: both sides.
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: Right Dodgers hitters, Yeah, it's the best lineup in baseball,
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: but at times it feels like the Dodgers sleepwalk through
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: the regular season, get to the postseason and everyone kind
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: of locks in and they just blow everyone away because
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: they're starting rotation. And then obviously their lineup behind it
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: is just elite this spot though, I mean, you could
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: see this both sides. I mean, you can see an
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: unknown Dodgers team after being chalk all weekend, really not
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: do their thing and absolutely smash here.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Same thing.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: You could see Messick post a score as a pivot
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: off a guy like Pons for two hundred dollars more
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: have twenty twenty to twenty five DraftKings points just with strikeouts.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Right, So what do you see here? Dodgers and the Guardians.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough, because I'm with you all over. Dodgers
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: ownership is finally going to be subdued. They're expensive, they're
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: not in as good as spot on paper as some
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: of these other teams. But man, their offense is the
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: best in baseball unequivocally so. And Messic I think he's good,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: but he's unproven. And certainly this spot can get to anyone.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Dodgers can get to the best pitchers,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: so certainly they can get to Messic here. Because of that,
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: you got to at least leave them in your even
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: if you're not playing them in single entry, which I
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: think you can massing himself. I like the idea of
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: playing a sprinkle of him in large field stuff. But
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: that's all it is. They're getting no price discount for
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: just what is a brutal spot and you see it
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: all the time with pitchers facing the Dodgers. Zach Allen,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: like an opening night, started off the game really really
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: well four innings, I think, two hits, a couple k's,
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: and then it just all came crashing down against the
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: bottom of the lineup because they got good hitters, hitters
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: with home run upside all throughout. So fool's Aaron picking
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: pitchers against the Dodgers. I hope both sides just are
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: kind of okay, which most of the time happens. But
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, we know, can explode on anyone. The real
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: side of this game I like a lot is Cleveland.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: Sasaki has not impressed me when he's been on the mount.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: He was not good in spring training. I think the
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Guardians offense now getting a park upgrade coming from Seattle
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: after facing that lethal pitching staff the entire series. Even
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Emerson Hancock looked really really impressive last night and kind
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: of take a breath of fresh air here going into
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: a much better hitters park facing a guy that has struggled.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: I like my guardians here. Obviously you've got the goat Chase,
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: the Lauder, just raking already in the bigs, Jay ram
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: Jose Ramirez probably won't get a ton of ownership because
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: he's so expensive. Then you can fill in around them.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: Kyle Manzardo has home on the upside. Bo Naylor. I
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: like the guardians here. I don't think you have to
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: full stat them, but I like the top of the
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: lineup in Minnie Stack in Cleveland here.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I like the lefties here.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: I mean you look at Sasaki's numbers against lefties and
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: it's just absolutely atrocious. His k rate and his walk
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: rate are the exact same, well within two percentage points
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: of each other, sixteen point seven to fourteen point six
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: last season. Looking at the numbers, he gives up a
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: ton of power in fly balls. I mean he's almost
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: at a forty percent fly ball rate to lefties.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: The laughter.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: I love Jay ram, I love Manzarto. Tons of power.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: Bo Naylor, tons of power. Sheet him in at a
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: second base position. Nobody's gonna click that name. I think
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: he's great rich Homi Kwan. Right, like any pitcher that
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: struggles against left handed hitters is gonna hate going up
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: against the Guardians. Right, We're gonna love throwing lefties against
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: the Guardians. We're gonna play pitchers against the Guardians a
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: ton this season. But I just I think this is
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: a spot to get on them, right. I much prefer
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: the Guardians over a team like the the A's here.
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: I think in tournaments, I like the left he's a
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: ton Stephen Kwan tons of uh. He's got power, he's
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: got stolen base upside Jay Ram, nobody's clicking his name
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: at third base at fifty six hundred dollars. But again,
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: Salary's i a relevant on the slate unless you just
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: literally click every highest price hitter on the slate. So
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: I think the Guardians are really interesting. I'm gonna be
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: overweight on them for sure in MM sets, probably not
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: making a main team or single entry three max something
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: like that, but I want I won't hate it at
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: least as a mini stack. Probably not gonna five mans
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: act the Guardians. But again I'm not throwing anything out
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: in mi MMM pool. This is just a bet against
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: the Saki not being good and the Guardians again. So
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: I like the lefties here and obviously the whole lineup
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: outside a guy like Reese, Hoskins and Arias if they
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: crack the lineup, are are gonna hit from the left
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: side here. So this is a matchup, matchup nightmare for
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: for Susaki here, and I think at tournaments this is
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: a spot where no one's gonna go to and I
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: think it has upside, much like the spot in the
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: next game here, Tigers and the d Backs. Soroka on
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: the mound for the d Backs, Verlander the corpse of
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: him on the mound for the Tigers. What do you
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: see here? D Backs and Tigers? Tigers one of my
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: favorite stacks on the board. The lefties again here, Kevin McGonagall,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: another stud rookie, just a breakout. I mean, this dude's
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: gonna be really good, much like the latter, Much like
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: the other rookies that we talked about. I mean, it's
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: a rookie breakout season for in the in the majors
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: What do you see here? Tigers, d Backs around us out.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely a game for offense here, Verlander was
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: good in spring training, but I'm not buying it. You
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: got good hitting weather tonight in Arizona. Soroka really struggled
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: in spring training, and certainly he's a guy that we
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: can pick on. He was good last year. So I'm
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: not sure how I feel about Detroit, but I think
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: their upsides real and they're not gonna be highly owned,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: so that in itself gets me to like them in tournaments.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: I think you can make a case for Soroka in
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: tournaments also, but I think the Tiger side is probably
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: the most appealing side to get to in tournaments. And
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: then Arizona, I think they look pretty good against Verlander.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Verlander isn't a guy that I think you have to
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: pick on, but he's not a guy I'm afraid to
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: pick on either. Well, you know, his best days are
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: well behind him. He's got a lot of moxy. I
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: like to cut his jib, So again, I don't think
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: you have to pick on him, but there will be
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: some starts this year where he gets absolutely destroyed. I
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: have no doubt about it. Wouldn't be shocked if it
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: happens tonight in Arizona. You know they finally get out
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: of LA. They faced all the Dodgers' best pictures. Now
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: they get a breath of fresh air in Berlander, so
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: I think you can make him a case for either offense.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Here a little late night hammer. I like some of
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: the other spots we talked about more, but these teams
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: are right up there. How do you compare these two
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: teams with teams like Milwaukee, who I know you like
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like Milwaukee a ton just not be not
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: even being a homer. I just they're hitting the shit
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: out of the baseball right now. I think Nick Martinez
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: is not a good pitcher, pitches the contact. So I
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: have the Brewers and kind of my top three or four,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: but the Tigers are right there.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: Tigers are on my main team.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: I'm just buying on the lefty power here, Carrie Bonds,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: Cole Keith, who is a pinch hit concern. But I
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: think again, third base pivot off with guys like Nico Horner,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: Riley Green tons of power, McGonagall, tons of power, play
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: him at third base or shortstop, Parker Meadows slept On
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: and I just don't The d Back's bullpen was trashed
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: last year.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's not going to be good again. This year,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: and then on the d back side.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: One of my favorite mini stacks on the slate in
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: like a five to three lineup is Marte, Carrol Perdomo.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: Lefties absolutely Mash Verlander. They've always done it. You got
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: three of the best lefty hitters in baseball. Perdomos looking
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: like an absolute stud coming out of World Baseball Classic KETL.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: Marte is obviously one of the best hitters in all baseball,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: same with Corbyn Carroll.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Those three alone have some of the most upside on
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: the entire slates. So Marte, Carrol, Perdomo. I like those
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: guys a lot. Pavin Smith has some pinchick concerns, but
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: another the lefties for the d Backs. My guy Alec Thomas,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: nobody ever clicks him, always has tons of power.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: He's more so a play on slates where we have
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: to spend a pitching because he always hits in like
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: that that bottom three. Nobody clicks him, and he's always
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: good for some home runs.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: And it's a nice separator there. But I really like
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: the top three for the d Backs.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: From a full stack perspective, I prefer the Tigers just
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: with the full nine and at bats, I think Roca
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: pitched a little over his head last year. We'll see again.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: So and I just think the Tigers offense is good.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: Adding a guy like Kevin McGonagall is a big plus.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: There.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: There is no.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: Uh, what's there is?
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: That was Hedges over Bonaylor there, but yeah, that rounds
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: us out there, Matt. Let's uh, let's do the home
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: run calls. Do you have any home run calls for
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: the people? And then give your favorite sneaky stack. I
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: know we talked a bunch about it, but I like
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: to round out the show just to if people are
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: tuning in late, just to catch the kind of synopsis.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: So your favorite tournament pitcher, your favorite tournament low owned stack,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: and then a home run call for the people.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Ryan Weathers. I know he's gonna get
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: some ownership, but he's now one of the big two.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: So that's my favorite pitcher. And tournaments, I'm gonna go
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: with that athletics stack. I think they get to Bryce
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: Elder here, at least I'm hoping so. And I am
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: going to go with a guy from that stack. Give
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: me Brent Rooker going yard here. So I like the
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: athletics and tournaments. I understand your hesitation, no doubt there
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: are a bunch of good teams to like here. But
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna push in again, pushing my chips
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: a little bit with with the lex in this spot.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome. I love that.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Kyle Harson. I'm just gonna be a
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: buyer here. I think he's a great pivot off.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Guy like Ponce. Actually, no scratched. I'm gonna go Jacob Lopez.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: Same price point as Ponce, literally probably one sixth the ownership.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: I mean Ponce is probably gonna push sixty percent in
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: single untry stuff, especially smaller field stuff. Lopez is probably
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: gonna be ten percent, right, So I like that at
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: a ton. I think the Brewers in tournaments are are
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: super interesting as a full stack here. Again, I don't
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: like Nick Martinez. I think he's a bad pitcher in general.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: I really liked the lefties for the Brewers. And then
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: you got Contreras who was hitting the hitting the ship
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: out of the baseball, and you got you got some
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: nice cheap guys, Garrett Mitchell, David Hamilton, Frey like Bowers right,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: who is absolutely murder in baseballs right now, especially in
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: spring he hit like five seventy one in spring training,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: so I like the Brewers a ton as a lot
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: own stack and then my home run call.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna go.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: I'm going I'm going back to the well the Guardians
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: against Asaki, I'm going to the two spot at least
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: projected two spot. Chase the latter. I'm gonna ride the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: well here. I think he gets one off of Asaki.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: He struggles with against lefties. The latters looked absolutely incredible,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: hitting for a shit ton of power here. It's a
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: good hitters park in LA with some wind blown out there,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: so I liked some Chase the latter at thirty six
• 1:06:23
