- Fall systems go clear for lifting. Happy Tuesday, half happy April. Second. G rises next to me. That means it's baseball season, baby, Good to see you, g rise it. Good to see Para bye, go collect Seawan Soulivan Lobile, Hamdwich, Jake Calent, appreciate ever hanging out as always. Hope y'all have it a great Tuesday. I'm relady talks in baseball. It's been a while. If I'm a little bit rusty, forgive me. This got back also from Vegas, so I've been catching up who's going on in the MLB. I was not dialed in, locked in like usual. So my opening day started yesterday is today. Hey, but we get some of these first first n rotation guys back in there after the long weekend. Yesterday's pitching gross, I mean, the chalk kind of got there, Madayah help got there as well. But get the beavers, the Darvish's bellows, Luis Castillo's names, very recognizable names on the mountain today, very cold across the country. I'm pretty much crossing off. You're talking a little pre show crossing off. This Detroit Mets game. It's an orange. I look at Kevin Ross stuff on weather, it's orange. Nothing I really even need for pitching or hitting anyway on this late nine games making eight games. I've talked enough though. Robb's in here, little next in here, Jim Risen, how you doing on his fine Tuesday? Man? Loving it, like you said, eight Baseball's back. Love being back on here with you guys. Hey, last last show, you know, I got to deal with my boy Ham and I didn't get to you know, I got to mention to him. It was fun hanging out with you guys, especially you there out there in Arizona. Had a great time. So, uh, definitely love hanging out with the boys. I realized I'm old though title I'm the old guy. You know. Yes, some times where the legs were struggling. The party wasn't struggling. It was the legs that struggle. But uh, you know, walking around as much as we did, it was a good time. But you know, hey, we got some baseball talk about. Man, I'm looking forward to this. First off, Hey, a lot of new If anybody's new here, welcome, and if you're been here before, let's sit back talk about this slate here. It's kind of a crazy one. If you ask me. I mean, we got some good pitching that you know, your name, some decent names there, but you know, they've kind of started out slow, struggled a little bit, and some of their first starts. We got you Darvis, who's got his third start already of the year. We got some weather issues as you mentioned the Detroit game, but we got to watch out in that Chicago area over there, loving that Cubbies offense and love a little bit of that sod over there or on the mound over there. But man, we got to watch a little bit with that weather. Sounds like it's gonna be moving on out of there before game starts, but definitely still want to keep your ear to the ground there. Never know, man, they get a little trigger happy to cancel some of these games here, especially at the beginning of the season, because who wants to playing some cold, rainy ass weather. Not me? But man, yeah not either. Yeah, no thanks. I don't even like playing golf in that shit, let alone playing softball or baseball or whatever else there. But uh yeah, so I don't know. I like what we see here. One thing, like I was talking a little pre show here, you know about are the braves? It seems like the Braves are gonna be kind of low owned today, which I kind of find interesting. It's not really being talked about in here against the same pitcher crotch at which the Tigers were pretty popular on opening day against that kid. So now all of a sudden, which the Tigers really aren't very good against lefties, all of a sudden, you're gonna tell me, it goes from one extreme to the next in my opinion. With the Braves, how in the hell do you I mean, come on, this is the Braves, this is the Tigers we're talking about here. So the Braves I think could get to this young cat. I think he's in a little bit over his head. Sign me up for some Braves today. And then you got Andrew in the chat there mentioned in Austin Riley's birthday bomb. But man, like I said, though, with the Braves, it just seems like there's a few other stacks that are getting mentioned that seem to be getting a little bit more love across the industry. I just don't understand it. I opened it up and it was like Braves, Yeah, Braves. You know, it was Braves instantly for me. So but title we'll have to break it down here and check it out and see what we can do. We know the braves are expensive too, so are we gonna go high end pitching? We're gonna go away pitching? What are we gonna do? But looking forward to diving into it here with you, our first show of the year together here, so we got more to come. But yeah, lots of fun coming up through here this whole summer. Yeah, I'm definitely excited to talk some ball with you for sure. Yeah, I mean, braves are definitely we'll get into We're gonna all this show's gonna go. First of all, actually this right now if you want to join, if you're not a member at chipimation dot com.

Fourteen bucks a week, thirty nine bucks a month, two hundred and twenty nine dollars a year before using that promo code. Drops it all down there. You can see projections, steat crankings, picture ranking, slate plans, core reports, et cetera. That's enough talking though for me, g Risen my broad Actually we'll talk pitching first, then we'll go broadslely overview for hitting in stacks pictures, though, I want to break it down AK and above because Brian Bellow down there at AK gonna be one of the most popular pictures on the slates. You go off a little bit eight point two K. You Darvish is sitting there, one of the most popular players on the slates. Then I think Shane Bieber rounds it out in terms of ownership eight point eight k against Seattle, the third chalkiest picture on the slates. But there's the other guys up here. I think you can get different in the top tier. Luis Castillo nine point four gonna get some ownership, but I do think is a tier down below the others. Zach Allen's up there, he's not getting much. Look, I'm gonna throw to you though on Fanuel, you're more of a fan duel player. I guess I'll talk more DK because you're on FanDuel. I do think the same pictures get the same love. I think Bellow at eight point eight K is people's prefer right now. Bieber is only one about ten point two k. I all these slates pull up right here, so I tweeked on that. But I do think Bellow popular. Shane Bieber is lower owned on FANDEL than DK with the price difference. Luis Castillo nine to nine, I think is a little lower owned as well. I'll throw it to the how do you see Pitcher broad slate touch FANDUL touch DraftKings however you see it. Yeah, if you want to start, I'll start, like you mentioned with the DK pricing with Bello. We'll start with Bello. I think he's definitely interesting. Anytime you got the a's, I mean, you gotta consider playing the pitcher against the a's. I mean, Bello Bieber, you know who's also on this slate, struck out eleven of the A's on opening day, So that is something definitely think about. I just think that Oakland offense is absolutely terrible. I think Bello, you know, I'd be happy with five, six to seven k's out of him. You know'll be able to get four or five, you know, five to six innings out of them. I think that's what we're looking for, get a win and possibly a quality start over there on FanDuel. I think that's a possibility at that price range. So he's definitely interested interesting for me moving up the scale with Darvish. You know, Darvish did have a decent start last start. The only problem I had with it is, you know, especially if you're looking over there on Fandle, he did have five innings, he gave up one ear and run had seven k's. I need them six innings, right, he only had seventy eight pitches. He had seventy two pitches the time before. We've seen a little consistency there in his pitch count. So is that where they're going to start yanking him out. We'll let him. You know, he is a little older, so I mean that's a little bit of a concern for me. I think he's a safe play. But if you're looking to win a high end you know, a tournament with twenty fifty one hundred people or more, I don't think you. Darvish is probably going to be at the top of that board. I really don't have any interest in Yarborough. I think that's going to be more of a bullpen game over there. I mean, Yarbro I just I'm not going there for eighty two hundred web not going there against the Dodgers, no, thank you. Valdez was somebody who struggled quite a bit his last start out. He's eighty five hundred here. He had six walks his last start, which is not like him. So, you know, is he just not ready yet? You know, Well, we'll give him a little bit of a break. It is start one. But I'm curious is he right at the ship yet. So, you know, like I wrote up in our sleigh plan, I thought Toronto could be an interesting low owned stack here today. Now Bieber I think is gonna be, you know, probably the highest owed pitcher. I'm gonna guess probably maybe even on both sites potentially, Bieber is ten two highest priced pitcher over on FanDuel. He's he's not his high price. He's only eighty eight hundred over on DK, so got Castillo a little bit ahead of him. But I mean, Bieber came out strong, as I mentioned, eleven k's against Oakland. You know, he historically over his career he has been a strikeout pitcher. Didn't really you know, fare too well mid twenties. I think percent last season twenty one percent. I believe maybe the number I think sticking in my head. I'm not really looking at any kind of going off top of my head. But Gallon, you know, I'm not really happy with him with New York there and Castile I think is definitely interesting. It's just you know, it looks like, you know, from what I'm seeing and reading around, Castile just struggled a little bit coming out. Didn't have that many swings and misses his last start only end up having what do you have want to five K's last start, he did give up four on runs. Just a little bit concerning there. I do like him though, I think, especially in this matchup with Cleveland, I think that he's interesting, But Bieber's my favorite. On both sides. I do like Bieber, and I also do like a Bello. As I mentioned, I may even go a little bit below because I do like some Braves, so I think Bello fits a little bit better for me instead of paying ten too for a picture, especially over there on FanDuel, So I think I like Bello. Let's go Bellow number one on FanDuel. I'm gonna go number two Bieber on FanDuel. But on DK, I'm going Bieber one, and then I'll probably go Castile too. Yeah, I like it. You can see our pitcher rankings I put up here. I'm just gonna show these top ones again, like Milwaukee Minnesota. That game locks at four to ten Eastern, so that's not on the slates, but it is very interesting so below you. I do think the consensus at least two of the three top own pitchers on the slate, we do have in our top five. Framber was a very interesting one that we liked. Man Like last performance recency biased, especially earlier in the year, just after one poor start. I mean, that can mean so many things. That's why I do think Luis Castillo up top is there's plenty of bats enough, there's cheap enough bats on the slate. You can go with Luis Castillo, Shane Bieber easily. You can go if you want to go Gallon as your spend up to get a little different, I prefer I like Castillo first upside. It was a shaky first start, his pitch count thinking all the way up there, but man, his strikeout upside compared to Biber. Like last year, it was always Luis Castillo. If you wanted upside, you darbage compared to Castillo. Always Luis Castillo k prop is good on him. None of these k prop like six and a half for Beaver juice on the over, six and a half for Darvish juice on the under, a little bit. Framber five and a half pretty much a coin flip. Not bad at all. Gallant I don't love with his upside against New York, so he I would definitely leave up up top. There Castillo, I like more, Bieber, I like more. I like Framber, Moore Bellow more so I would cut Gallon. I'm not playing anyone against the Dodgers right now, so no Logan, web yardbro no thing. So that's Ak and above right there. I rank them. I like the gamestack Beeber Castillo, just both of them in that same game Cold Seattle. That's my two favorites. Bellow third as Chalk and then you would be fourth. DESI how I see it with you. Let's go down though, because I know you mentioned Javier Asade. We're just gonna go AK all the way and below because a lot of these guys I think you can throw out. You mentioned Javier Asade. A couple other interesting ones Crotchet talked about pre show. I want you to touch on him. Rinaldo Lopez, I think is an interesting He's gonna get the most ownership. Is the pivot off of a sad. He's like the other cheap guy people will roster. But the pitch count he's definitely not. So he's the guy that used to be in the bullpen, good strikeout stuff. Pitchcount is definitely capped. But I mean the k prop was five and a half two, pretty much the same as the SOD for a four and a half k prop for a sad Rinaldo Lopez k prop actually just went off on DraftKings. I thought it was four and a half or five and a half. But yeah, I mean on DraftKings Fanmily, you're not going to get there because of the quality. Start touch on that side. More on DraftKings. I've talked long enough though, eight game below. What do you like? Yeah, you know, a side is somebody that I definitely like the most in this group, and it's for obvious reasons. It's the Rockies are going up against them there. I mean, Rockies are just got awful. Man. They're on the road in the cold, like that's just they're just terrible. So, you know, I don't think Asd is that great of a picture. That's why he sixty six hundred. He's basically a mediocre pitcher. But in the matchup in the cold against the Rockies, I'll take it. I think it's a great play. I think he is going to be fairly popular. I think you're gonna see quite a bit of him. I did as you mentioned. I think the pivot is going to end up being Lopez. But man, I'm just not a fan of his walk rate. He's just got a really high walk rate, so that kind that just kind of worries me. He did have a thirty percent Kate come out of the bullpen, but you know, I just I'm just concerned about his walk right there. It is obviously gonna be cold there too, so I mean we got another cold weather game that Chicago cold and windy raining. I mean, it's just not a baseball type weather. So definitely something you could think about. There you go with Crotchet, I mean, yeah, like I said, he looked good against the Tigers. You know, the Tigers really are not very good against Taned pitching. We saw it last night with Manayah Manaiyah look like he could win the damn say Young last night. So you know, I just I'm not a fan of Crotchet. And like I mentioned earlier, you know, to me, there was a lot of people that were on the Tigers opening day, you know, cheap stack. You know, they're fairly popular, they're all in the teens twenties percent ownership range. And then here you got the Braves coming in, and you know you're not seeing it. To me, it just should be the Braves should be obviously the stack. So I have no interest in Crotchet. Now if you want to, if you believe in what you saw and you watched it, and you want to go against the Braves, you go right ahead. I wouldn't advise for that, but definitely something that I'm not looking into doing. But yeah, I'm not really interested in Michaels at all. He just doesn't miss too many bats out there in San Diego. I'm not going wood freeling, No way, I'm not doing that either. So Nestor Cortes, now, I'm not a fan out there against Arizona, So for me, it'd be Aside. If you want to go Lopez, I don't blame you there, but I like the cold weather going against the Rockies definitely seems like a good play, especially over here. What is he sixty six hundred over here on DK and I believe on FanDuel he is. He's pretty cheap too. I'm Fanolo Asade he was he's six too. Yeah, he's six y two over on FanDuel. So you know, if you like Aside, you definitely get you some Braves in that line up. Probably get you a pretty nice one off too, if you wanted to go that way. But if you want to go all the way up to Bieber at ten two, you might be able to mix in some braves. You might just have to get a little tricky with some of your one offs, might have to uh go with some really cheap one offs. But man, I just think, especially on FanDuel, I mean you, like I mentioned, Bellow is my favorite play over on FanDuel, But I think you could go down to a side if you really want to load up on some bats. What about I'm trying to look at other very low owned pivots. What about like a Nesser Cortes seven point three k right in between lowe as ana sad. I mean over in that game, I mean eight and a half open now at nine k prop four and a half minus one thirty five on the over, Like you just look at k prop it's Coortz over asad. Obviously, now you're looking comparing Colorado to Arizona. The weather's awful. There's a lot more factors that go into it, but at least in terms of upside, like that's who stands out to me. I'm trying to if I'm eating chalk up top again, Castile will be lower on than the Bibers of the world, so I think he's a fine pivot. I don't mind Bell does either. Just ride the picture rankings. Maybe one bad start, but Cortez down below was the guy. But I will say I think just Ak and above and just sticking to like three or four guys up top at picture. There's enough cheap bats on this late one offs five two ones like you can even go braves Bieber Castillo, if five man braves and make things work like I it's not tight enough salary yet in my opinion, And I think we need to get on a chalk your sage just because he's the only one gallon down there or something. But throw it to you on Cortez. Yeah, well anyone in chat. Anyone in chat too. If you guys got a low owned name, I want to look into it a little bit more. What's going on, Jacob, Jordan, Joe. Appreciate you guys hanging out. Good to see you guys. I'm one of the other things you guys at first. So whether we mentioned Detroit Mets, we're pretty much trap in it. The other games Atlanta Chicago and then Colorado, Chicago, Chicago, Midwest yellow Green Roth has it, so we're expecting it to play pitching define, But I'm monitor ross stuff. It's free. I look at his tag, so that's the weather games on the slate, Cortez, anything else that pictured you guys. Yeah, I just there's some other spots. If I roster Cortes and he starts, that's like remote control breaking shit for me, because I that guy drives me crazy. He he does have some strikeout upside. He just seems to get in the funk sometimes when I'm watching him and he just gives up runs and bunches, and he just gives up too many hard it's the right handers, and I like some of the bats over there, the right handers like Christian Walker, I think is in a pretty good spot here tonight for for the d Backs against Cortes, and you look at Cortes's numbers against the right he's he's, like I said, it gets hard hit that fly balls, just doesn't miss bats. And I just think out there in Arizona tonight you might see him get lit up. But yeah, I just think there's some other spots that I like. I mean, Barrios is another guy too. I mean, you know, he's a veteran that you know, you could potentially look at as a pivot. I don't really particularly want to go there, but you know, pitching really isn't really that strong tonight, that where you say, oh, man, you know you gotta have this. You know, I used to, you know, like last year was Spencer Strider Day, right, Like when Spencer Strider pitched, if he let it up for sixty five seventy points, like he could in at least a third, if not half of his starts, and you didn't have him, you know, you're pretty much screwed, right, So you know, there was only really one guy was really afraid of last year. That was Strider. That can throw up numbers like that. We don't obviously have that here on this slate today. So that's why, you know, I don't mind if anybody wants to mix it up. I just particularly think, you know, the handful of guys I have, like I said bieber Bello Asad Castillo, pretty much, that's where I think I'm gonna be going try to get a little different with my bats, with my stacks. I'm really you know, I just haven't really looked into the numbers title as far as you know what kind of ownership we're gonna be looking at on on all of them. You know, I haven't looked at any of the charts, but I just feel as if, in generally my instincts are right on. You know, who's going to be the higher owned. Like I said, I think Bieber is gonna be the highest ooned on on DK, and then I think you'll see Bello probably come in probably the highest ooned on FanDuel. I would assume you may get Bieber in there coming closer. Bellow might be a little closer to Bieber, I'm FanDuel if not. But yeah, I think Castille will be up there in the top three. But I think those two pretty much dominate the U the rankings today. Yeah, I think DraftKings is gonna be Bellow you Baber is the top three. I feel pretty strong about that. Then I think it'll be like the Castillos, the Sods probably that that's how I got top five, And I think it's pretty clear, and honestly, i'd rather fade it. Chalk your bats like there's I mean, it's baseball like chalk is like eighteen percent. You play the seventh highest stack on the slate, they're like ten percent. Like you don't need to just have single digital people in baseball. Why I'd rather eat chalk pitcher than the bats though, is you're right, there's no slam dunks. But it feels like the Beaver's that use the bellows against Oakland usually what that considered Bellow is safe, and he definitely isn't. Oakland's just that bad. But those guys feel way safer than anyone else, like any other pivot you can try and make even Luis castile. That's why GPPs. I'll buy into that a little bit. But he's a lot more risky, it feels like, than the Beavers than you then Bellow And maybe there is some strikeouts in the Yankees lineup for Gallon, but I don't know. I still don't like his upside, the k prop reflex it. So I'll go to you just last awes for me, because Steve Bieber the game stack below against Oakland, Framburgh and pretty much I don't even say Asa Lopez, no, thank you. Really, I mean, they're fine, for sure, but give me give me those ak and above guys. How do you see it. Yeah, I mean, just to go off your point where you were saying, you know, you're not really too much worried about some of the chalky with Chalco. With the pictures. We get different with bats, like you don't get picture right, you're pretty much hosed, right. I mean, you know, so I don't like getting blown my picture getting blown up. It just ruins your whole damn baseball night. So for me, I'd almost rather take, you know, try to be safer like last night, and I do put some weight at the stock and wait, wait into two pictures going against each other like last night. You know, I had Reese and I had Manaia I I thought, man, this is great. And then you know, some jerk Blanco has to go out and throw a no hitter last night and kind of ruin my thought. But he's not in there. Man. I had the two of the best and in the same game they get bad on each other. I like that. I think you could see that tonight in that Seattle in Cleveland game there. So yeah, you know, like you were saying earlier, you know, I don't mind that at all, especially on DK. If you wanted to go that route, I bet you won't see too many people probably having that higher end pitching either, so it's definitely something to think about there. But uh yeah, for me, I think it's pretty clear. As I mentioned, I like Bellow, I'm gonna be over on FanDuel pretty much playing most of my action. The queue over there on DraftKings is twelve hundred bucks. I'm gonna sit that one out tonight. I was in the one ninety one last night, but uh, twelve hundred. I'll let those boys fight it out. I'll wait for another day, especially on a slate where I'm really not too sure. If I really really like something here title, I might throw me a shot in there. I think there's still a couple open spots over there in that queue, but I'm just gonna focus on Fandue. I'm gonna ship that hundred dollars single entry here tonight, but I'm pretty certain I'm gonna have below as my pitcher. I love it if I didn't leave a couple too many twelve hundred dollars tickets in Vegas. Maybe out have thrown something in there too, but don't have. I gotta work that bankro back up. First. Let's get into Let's get into beast. This one I do want to show, of course, just show those pitching projections are pitching rankings. Here's our projections you can see very easy on the slate. If you're just doing turbo slate, click turbo all the games for that showdown main main slate right here. Sor if I salary point per dollar you want to surfy position, you want to surf, I team very very easy. I think I keep saying cert not sore. You guys get what I'm saying. Fan duel DraftKings can see us be the projections very easy to do, updated throughout the night time stamps. And this goes for all of our sports up here. You need projections, we got them. You need to play money, You need to save money at least to have a bankroll, be able to play dfs. Unfortunately crazy. I mean, I don't hate, I hate doing this, but some of these sites to spend time for me to reload my subscriptions on these some of these sites. I'm in the industry. I play pay for all the sites as well. Man, it only keeps going up, and hey you can write it off for some people only thirty percent though, is just what I learned from my accountant having to make some cuts. It's tough out there. We try and have it as cheap as possible with content, the best content. You need a discord community like we have all the sports. If you want Hoop fifteen, use that promo code. If you just want MLB for the summer, use code MLB fifteen get fifteen percent off. Get in the discord. We try and do our best, a great community, try and help people make some money. People help us all the time too. So many sharp people down there. Let's get into bats though. I'll show off feeling good today, I'll show off a little bit of these hitter rankings. Let's go. Yeah, let's go to the top ten. There we go, top ten and this is again very easily sortable. If you just want how I like to do it a lot position, just say there might be a very weak position catcher today. You can see where it has it ranked right now. A couple guys stand way about the rest. That might not have been the best. Let's go to another position to see if something stands out. You can see like a positional scarcity. Here we go. I mean, I guess short stop, but seeger stands out and Mookie otherwise everyone else twenty. Then you go. As you go down, it gets way worse. So I like doing the hitter rankings. Go to the position see positional scarcity. It helps me fill out. Otherwise, you only have thirty eight hundred left on fandle or something. You can type that in here. Get the top thirty eight hundred guy in the rankings. Little stuff we have to try and help you out. Have the slate plan. I'm not gonna show that off yet though, a lot of hard work. G Rising does cash Report on both sites GPP core Report. If you just want slate info, this is free to everybody. Right here. You can see top team totals right here. Braves, they're gonna get some ownership to your ryse, and I hate to tell you some of them definitely will get the Yankees right here, the Cubs pitching, etc. So that's free for everyone. Let's get back to it though, for hitting, G Rising, Let's let's just cross off this game for me, the Mets game. That's Detroit. They didn't postpone it yet. Seven ten Easter and I'm not playing anyone. Casey Mice, Adrian Hawser seven and a half point FA or seven and a half point favorites, Man Vegas seven and a half run total. What do you got in this one? I'm crossing it off with Weather. Yeah, I didn't really dive too far into it. It just looks like a dud from everything I'm seeing rain all day, So we'll have to wait another day for Casey Mice to come back. All right, there we go, Jordy any Raykas run on fire yesterday. Love to see that only gets better as the season goes to what's going on? Toga to only a ninety three percent chance of rain in Chicago. I'm not a weather man. I follow Sharper people. Brought is sharp. He thinks they can get it in right now. I'll expect him to get it in. Nice game, Atlanta Brei Chicago White Sox. When all the Lopez Garrett crouching on the mound, nine total braves Ice team or a team total on the slate, five point three runs on the road, I mean hitting Weather's awfu. It's forty degrees in Chicago again. This game is the yellow Green. We're expecting it to play guarantee. Nathan the hat bats though, going against Crotchet, who has a solid k prop but yeah, I mean the Brays. You can play them every single night. Ge Risen, you didn't. They're gonna get ownership though, I will. I'll throw it over to you. On DK Akunya is gonna be one of the most popular bats on the slate six point five K. There's enough cheap options you can get there. Ozzie at second base. Second base isn't great today. I think Ozzie gets a little bit of ownership. I do think they're more popular on FANDLE though, with Fa, Sad and Bellow being fairly priced and people just playing one of them. If you play a side, you can play any bat you play. Bellow at eight point a K can still fit a. Kunya is gonna be very popular. Ozuna three point one K should be in the middle of the order. He's gonna get ownership. Riley sub four K Ozzie. I do think they're higher on than Fan Duel. If I had a pick, I'd rather chuck Chalk pitching over the Braves, So that'd be my stance, I guess. But you can always play the Braves. Yeah, take it away in this game. Yeah, I definitely like the Braves. You know, I got to give a little shout out to uh, to Sean there telling us it's a crochet. Thank you. I guess what Crochet? Crochet, Yeah, Crochet, crawche target right, I will I will buch a billion names I have. There's too many names out there in this world to bet on you guys we're talking about, but Crochet, I will definitely try and try and get that right. So I appreciate any help without pronunciations. Thank you though. Yeah, you know, Crochet did look good, like I said, against the tigers, but it was a tiger. Tigers are not very good against lefty, so you know, I I, like I said, I was kind of interested to see what kind of ownership we were going to get on the braves. To me, the Braves should be by far the highest stone stack on the slate today. So if I was MMM, I'd be really really heavy on the braves here today. But uh, I only play three teams, so I'm gonna be using pretty much probably the Braves on all three of my teams, and then I'm gonna mix in some others. Uh, just kind of seeing what our you know. Michael has He, Michael W. Has Here, Crappy Weather faded the Chicago game, ninety three percent chance of rain from Sean you know, hey, that's why I said in the in the sleigh plant today, make sure you keep your your ears to the ground here. With weather, it's not only effects pitching. It's obviously going to affect hitting as well. So you know, definitely something we're gonna have to pay attention to. The White Sox I am not interested in at all, but uh, definitely interested in the Braves. But hey, if the weather's gonna be really crappy and cold, you know, maybe that's a good reason for us to fade it. Maybe that's another reason why we fade the Cubs game. But as you mentioned, I do put a lot of weight into what Kevin Ross says. The guy is generally money. I can't remember ever me cussing out Kevin Roth in my brain because if I knew if it was a risk, I was taking the risk. Because he lays out what the risk is. You don't have to generally guess very rarely. I think maybe a Washington game has you know, come up out of the mid you know, in the past years that you know, just kicking in the dick. But other than that, Kevin Ross pretty spot on if he says they can get it in, I'm gonna tell you most times, ninety nine percent of the time they get it in. So if that's what he's saying, I'm going to put Wade into that. But yeah, you know, I definitely think the Braves are definitely somewhere. I'm gonna be looking at Crochet. As I mentioned, he did look pretty good. But man, the Braves. You just look at other woba's against the lefties. Man, they're all pretty high. I just think this is too good of a ball club here for this kid. And I'm not really a fan of that bullpen either that we have for for the White Sox. So definitely think that's interesting. Braves could definitely put up runs and numbers. We seen them hit out of the gate too in the cold, right out of the beginning of the season, So you know, I'm not really concerned. I think the Braves are just too good, and hey, if I can get them at any time in the season on a discount, especially a slate like this where there's nothing really standing out, and you got the Braves standing there, you got the Dodgers that really nobody's talking about either. The two of the best teams hitting teams in baseball, and neither one to me are like glaringly stand out. But I'll take a shot on the Braves here tonight. Like I mentioned, I think you're gonna get them a little lower on they should be. Yeah, So I like the Braves. We're gonna get to this Cubs game after. I think the Cubs get some ownership too. On this slate. If I had to pick, I'd go Cubs or not Cups. Excuse me, I felt so common I'd go Braves. There's no doubt about that. With the guarantee ninth andy at bats, Freeland tilts me. Man. Sometimes it feels like every time I stack against Freeland, the dude just he finally navigates the game, ground balls, he gets out of jam, something like that. I much prefer picking on Crochet, so I'm very happy. That's a dope name. So I am happy Sean correct and me Crochet. I'd rather pick on than I would Freeland. So I like Braves over Cubs. Both will be two of the higher stacks ownership on the slate. Though, good question here, you prefer five three stacks or one offs? I like the five threes and five two ones. If I have to be in particular, I think four fours are fine. On fan duel, four to three ones are my favorite as well. I still think four fours are fine, but I definitely want a primary stack on all my teams like that's and pretty much every slate. If it's a four game MLB slate like Thursday, there's a four gamer, you can do some little crazy things a hitter against a pitcher or something. On a nine game slate, eight games slate like this, yeah, five five five man stack. Figure the rest out. Just hope one of these team nukes, especially early in baseball when it's cold like this, If one team goes out there and puts up ten, you probably want a five man stack from that ten more than likely anything on that to you, Rizon, like last night, exactly last night, you had to have all the if you had the five man astro stack, I guess you. Yep, you were. You were just dancing if you had the astro stack last night, you know on DK to answer that question, you know, like I said, I play most of my action on FanDuel. I'm I'm a four to three, one, four to four guy over there. Sometimes you'll see me go four two. If it's like a you know, like a low like three or four games, five games, I might mix it up a little bit. But h on DK, I definitely stacked. The five three four four is okay, like title said, but five to three is the way I generally go five to two one. I just feel like at that point you might as well have three one offs. So to me, I mean the two man stack unless you literally have them right next to each other in the lineup, like a two three hitter three four. I wouldn't skip too many hitters, you know, and I wouldn't have a two six hitter or something like that if you were looking to save salary on somebody and say, oh, well I got a two man stack, I because you're really just home run hitting at that point. You're not really gonna get you know, a big inning or or something like that, to where if you had you know, three guys in a stack, you know, generally like I went on fan duels. So yeah, stacking is basically the only way to go about it, especially in baseball in my opinion. But yeah, that Cubs game though, as you mentioned, we got you know, the weather in Chicago there, Title, I mean, we got the cold weather, so you know, I'm gonna just like keep my eye on a perfect thing too. If you play baseball, always have a backup plan if you're in a situation like here today, No to yourself, Hey, I'm on the Cubs today. If he does. If this game looks a little dicey and I don't like it, maybe you're on it and all of a sudden you turn on your MLB TV and you see a shot and you're like, oh, hell no, I'm not playing that. It looks like, you know, wins flags standing up and you know, it's looks shitty and the players you know, look cold, like, nah, I'll wait till later. There's there's some games later tonight that are gonna have a little bit better weather. We've got some indoor games, so you don't got to jump out the gate here tonight. There's gonna be a lot of baseball played at night tonight, so definitely don't have to jump out the gate for sure. Yes, these earlier games, there's enough indoor games of these games out west in LA and Oakland, like sixty degrees, that's fine, So yeah, if you want to avoid these forty degrees, but they are in the best spot Vegas, the props. All that still comes for weather, Like they know what's going on, they're still apply for five point three runs. They know what the weather is going to be, the wind, et cetera. So I definitely look at weather. I look at it more for is this game gonna be postponed or pitchers not safe, et cetera. More than yeah, it's really windy, but they're still gonna play. That's all baked into it. The last thing I got in this game, one last thing title. I just looked over at the lines. You know, the over unders in the game. There's only one game that was bet up today and it got bet up a full run from seven to eight, and that was the Cubs game. So of all the games bet up today, I hope you've actually been bet down. So just to thought some of the betters, you got more action coming in. They saw that seven number over there, the Cubbies against that shit Rocky pitching staff, and everybody jumped all over it. Maybe that's why. But it's setting up all the way at eight right now. Yep. Yeah, good call there. And then last thing I'll mention on this braise. Then we'll keep it going. I mean, there's plenty of ways, always ways to get different in baseball. Like I said, you can play Beaver Castillo that Braise five man and figured out Matt Olsen left he lefty. No one likes playing left e lefty five point nine k very expensive for sure, he can be sub five percent on in bravetacks though Michael Harris or four point seven k left he left you that should be at the bottom of the order always goes overlooked there. Arno was gonna get some ur cs three to three, but there's enough cheap bats. Five through nine is probably gonna be under five K. Nobody under over ten K for pitching, which just shows braids are kind of easier to fit. You can leave money in baseball too. That's the last thing I'll mention in this one. I have no interest in the White Sox against Lopez. I think the Braise bullpen's good enough. They're not gonna let him get shelld out there like there's no thanks for the White Sox. If last thing on baseball, though, I was a going to say, man, this weekend, too many too many vodkas going down. I'll hurt my brains rising. Oh, you can leave it was everything. It was, there's, there's everything, and then gambling like that's you know that that wears you out, man, I'll be honest, wears me out. No, it wears me out. I've been sleeping pretty much yesterday and today. You can leave money on the table eighteen hundred bucks if you like. If your favorite stack tonight was somehow the White Sox and the Rockies, and use the top two pitchers on the slate, You're not gonna probably be able to fill out all of your money, all your salary. Leave it if you like that. Don't go and upgrade a random five minutes you have a five man stack, take out two year stacks and upgrade to Aaron Judge and Mike Trout. Don't do that. In baseball you can definitely leave salary. It's not like NBA NFL. You don't leave all that salary because if you think pricing, all algorithms are based on how bad the teams are bad the spots are and Spencer Strider's pitching and he gets lit up for fi team runs, you need the other team and you can't use all your salary physically to do that. So last thing I want insane baseball, you can definitely need money on the table, play lefty lefties, low ownership, et cetera. Let's keep it going with you, Rys, and I've talked enough Rockies, Cubs, Kyle Freelan, Javier Rassade on the mine, on the mound. Cub's gonna get some ownership one of the higher team or team tolls on the slate. I prefer Braves the Cubs if having to pick Rockies. If you want some direct leverage, that's another easy way in baseball. You want to get different. Look at the most popular pitchers, stack against them. I don't think we need to do it on this slates. The Rockies aren't good. It's cold one off at best or little Ryan McMahon, Nolan Jones. I ain't paying five to three for Nolan Jones, Ryan McNatt at third base. That's really all I got in this one. What about you? What's that this guy goes can't be both these guys are call them crotchet dude. We'll be calling people the wrong names plenty. So you're here. I call the Indians Indians, and I'm changing either. So if I say Indians, it's the Indians. That's just the way it works. And gummies. There's a lot of Aca Kranz. Yeah, vodka crans and gummies. That's always fun. I like the high noons, though lately I've been sucking them down like crazy. I don't feel hungover. Title I could drink about twenty of them things. Well you saw and uh smoke all day and I'm good. But uh, either way here, So this game here I do find interesting because you look at Freeland. You mentioned Freeland always seems to bite you in the ass. But he's got such a low k rate to righties. Last season I went had twelve percent k rate. And then you're looking at guys like Horner, Suzuki, and then you got Morale and Swanson. You know these guys, Cooper, I mean, you got some power there, especially at the top. Horner and Suzuki do not strike out very much against righties, but definitely like those righties here today. But I mean, as we mentioned, you keep looking back that clouds over your head, with that weather in there tonight, with you know, without any weather, the Cubs, the Cubs probably would be the number one stack if if there was no weather, if it was a nice day in Chicago, seventy degrees. That would be definitely it would definitely be way higher up there for me. But yeah, I definitely like the Cubs. I like Morel. I think Morele stands out for me today of all the Cubs hit. I know Suzuki looks pretty juicy too, but Morell sitting there in the four hole at second base, sitting there with a three eighty one wOBA against righty's against lefties, I'm sorry, I'll definitely take that one. That's a guy I'll be looking at here today. I actually put him in the sleigh plan little tidbit in one of my guys that I was looking at as some one off. So definitely like that one there. But also I think as far as the Rockies go, just kind of looking at them, I thought, Nolan Jones has been a guy that I don't mind it all. He had a four or four wOBA against Righty's last year. I think that's so expensive. I like, you man clicking five three. He's gonna me so low because of it in this spot, Like I said, yeah, but he's that's the thing baseball though, what one swinging of that you get you fourteen and that's all you need. There's no such thing as too expensive with the Homers. So yeah, I like it. Yeah, but yeah, listen, I like how you guys are talking about with the name. That's why they don't put us on the Hockey Show because you know, we can't too many sports going on, man, people can People can chirp on names all they want and you go pay pay with your winnings. They don't ask you how to pronounce it. I'm good, you know what the Brandon Lowe or Nate lau or I've probad even got that wrong, but I always get that backwards too, like I can never see I'm saying, these guys don't watch shows when we butcher names. No, people are used to it, right, you knowction you know what we mean, give us a break, like we know but Paul Jones, Ryan McMahon on the Rockies. I will say Morel Suzuki will be two of the most popular, your two favorites of course in for the Cubs, though like Donald your lefty left, he's not going to get ownership Horners five k leading Off ain't gonna get some third base with Morell, and then Suzuki in a two hole definitely gonna get some there. The bottomly order though like Mader Golf, he makes it kind of a punt second baseman. Garrett Cooper's got some pop like that's kind of how I go down there. I must prefer Raves over Cubs though, yeah, yeah, absolutely, especially with the weather that we got here today. But yeah, I mean Cubbies. I'm gonna keep my ear to the ground here and kind of see where I'm looking at here with some of this weather moving forward, see if you know a side's gonna make any of my lineups or not. I'll probably just only go far down to bellow over there on fanduels, So probably just stick there and just build from there. But copies are definitely interesting, even if I don't go full stack, maybe they'll be my secondary stack or even throw some one off with morel as I mentioned Suzuki. But yeah, for me, I think Cubs are definitely interesting. I got them ranked as my number two stack overall in the day. But man, that weather, as we get a little closer and closer, if it continues just to look shitty, you know, I baseball, man, the computer doesn't take in effect to like you know, like the weather and what I mean, who the hell wants to play baseball and shit like that, you know, like, come on, like they don't want to play baseball. We saw that shit yesterday in the Tigers Mets game. Them guys didn't care was forty degrees. They were like, let's go get me out of here. You get hit one on the handle title, I know you played. I've played enough baseball man that things like nope, playing up here in Michigan at the end of March. That shit sucks, especially you follow one off on your toe. My mother, do you swear words she never heard before. Hey, they're not playing they're not playing that cold in this one. Toronto Houston right here. Jose Burrios Framber Valve has talked about Framburg good bit. I think he's an interesting contrarian pivot in that bieber Fellow range. Come off awful first starts, Oh you know, I mean he hasn't been that bad last year. Big favorites, at least relative to the Slates. Toronto, though, doesn't strike out a ton, So I don't mind. Like I said, I think VLVI is as fine as a pivot. I don't love him by any means. I don't think some of these Toronto bats are crazy though, or maybe tell me, would you other full stack them and just hope if Framber is broke or he does start off bad again, I think maybe talking through it more, i'd other full strake Toronto if doing anything, Framber is not gonna be chalky enough though we get leverage Houston though, I mean, man, how do you not go right back to Kyle Tucker to Jordan Oliverrez right there? Five five, five six? Definitely expensive? Talking five to two ones though, if you go those two is your two to one offs or your two mini stack right there? They're expensive? You go fill it in with a lower owned stack something like that. Definitely love Kyle Tucker Ride Hot Streaks Ride your dong. Ownership will be in check because people will go a Kunya maybe some of those cubs, et cetera. So yeah, Toronto interesting, very low owned full stack. If you think Framber is broke, and then Houston's side, give me those two. Tell me if he does anything else. You like Yonder Diaz maybe you know I I this game here. It was interesting for me, So man, just beyond I was thinking to myself, this game's in June. We probably don't want nothing to do with it on either side. You know, we might be looking at some of these pitchers here. But you know, both guys, as you mentioned, Valdez a little bit more stumbled out the gave them I have six walks. That was really alarming for me, for him, And I mean, you look at this Toronto lineup, Dude, they can pretty much throw an alrighty lineup at them. So I think that is something definitely we got to think about. I mean, and they got some pop in that, right, He's got Springer Guerrero. But shat. You know, Turner Kirk, you know you can pretty much go all the way down no, maybe even go Schneider, go all the way down to six. You know you might even be able to you know. That's that's that's some pretty nasty writings coming down at you in a row here. So, man, I think Toronto is my sneaky stack. Man, I think they're my sneaky stack of the day. I mean, let's just kind of figure. Valdez gets blown up a little bit, and then I go back. I look at the bullpen. Houston's given up twelve and runs already out of their bullpen a one ninety one whip. They've given up five homers already, eleven walks. They're you know, they've just not been very get out of the bullpen. So man, we can beat up Valdez for four or five inning. We can get into that Houston bullpen. I think Toronto could throw up a pretty big number here. So and nobody's talking about them. They got great bounce back spot, just got no hit. Nobody's probably gonna look at them. I think Toronto for me is man, that's just a sneaky spot that's really glaring for me today. So yeah, Toronto. I'm gonna have me some part of Toronto in some of my fan duel teams. If I can jam me some Toronto and grab some some a's or braves bats, I think that's gonna be the way I'm gonna be looking at it, because man, it wouldn't matter if you've got wet braves you have, if you've got some Toronto bats with them, I think, right there's gonna be a differentially, make a difference. I like it. Yeah, we haven't got to my favorite stacks just yet. Again, I think I think Toronto is interesting as a full stack. You can eat all the chalk around, hope, he's broke. I prefer some of these later ones. Braise Cub's gonna get ownership. Bray's my favorite that we talked about so far. But I like these later games. We're gonna get to this one. Definitely don't like it. Hey, right on to you. Greg played both pitchers, hope for a one oh type game Cleveland Seattle Mariners, Bieber Castillo, Seving total. It's pretty much what I said like forty five minutes ago on this show. So I got no bats in this one. Give me the pitchers pitchers dual, give me a one oh type game. I like it. What about you, Drew Isiamy bats in this one? Yeah? I don't have any really bats at stand out here to me. You know, I actually liked a little bit of the Indians last night, and then tell you you know what happened. When I was into like the third ending of that game, I said to myself, what in the God's green earth were you doing? Why would you play the team that hits the least amount of homers in all of baseball? What and the hell was I thinking? Like I had a brain fart beginning of the season. So I'm sorry that'll never happen again, as far as you know any kind of lineups. I gotta apologize to my bank role because I picked a few shekels away yesterday believing that that might be a sneaky one. So hey, at least Toronto, my sneaking one today actually can hit Homer. So you know, I was just disgusted with myself all day title about that. And you know what, sometimes you know, and you bounce back with different sports, and you know, you take a little layoff of plan. Sometimes you know, you step in a pile of shit and you remember what I know better than that. Why did I do that? And That's what happened to me yesterday. So definitely not going there with these Indians today. No thank you one officer. Okay, if you want to go that route with those guys, I'm not stacking them until they can show me those guys can hit some home runs Seattle. I mean, no thank you. Just not interested in anything over there. You know, maybe if you wanted to go Crawford or somebody, I you know, I don't know. I just don't see anybody there that really stands out for me. So I'm gonna pass on everybody over there. We probably even need to talk about this game that long, given the people, the entertainment. Everyone likes hearing some g rise and so you're right though, but I think you'll say that a lot of more times in baseball, man. That's the one filtering thing about baseball. You can play the braves, they can go the stack, you can can go oh for twenty five or whatever it is, oh for twenty two. You're not even surprised at the end of the day. I saw Hip Gotti saw his team yesterday on Twitter. It was like negative with his pitchers. That's baseball, man. If you're not first or last, it's when you win. How much you win in baseball, you have to be ready to lose a lot of weeks because it's a stacking sport. It's a high variant stacking sport. They don't score runs. You ain't doing it. You ain't winning nothing the week. Do not survive playing baseball. If you think you're gonna win every stinking day, you know, that's just that's just not gonna happen. Now. You know, in the single in one hundred dollars single drund FanDuel, if I clip that thing four out of seven times, cash. I'm really happy if I can get you know, I'm playing for the top threes. I need one top three to win that thing once, you know, once a month. And you know, keep keep going, you know, just keep going at it, keep grinding it. You'll get up there. You'll get it. And you know, like we all, we all have those big hits by one big week of the season, you know, like football. You know, flip eighty seven k week three in football, you know, I mean that's just way it goes. You grind it out the other weeks, and you know we're two x three extra money. But anytime you can get thirty forty eight fifty x on your money, I mean that that don't happen all the time. But hey, you keep grinding, you keep to your process, it's gonna come out for you. So just keep at it. Don't keep bouncing around. It's like playing blackjack. Just keep doing the same shit. Man. You know, you know, hit on your sixteen, keep hitting on those sixteens. Yes, yes, they were nasia great. They were definitely bad against Left. I mean, Blue Jay's cast some more money last year than anybody. But they're in a chalky in a lot of spots. They're definitely low owned today. I do like a lot of people saying, like Brave's talking about a degree weather all when they smash. It's a lot easier to fake Braves chalk some cubs chalk, et cetera and cold weather than it is in warmer weather, for sure, because some of those home runs turn into warning track out stuff like that. So yeah, give me more chalk pitching over chalk hitting today. We'll get to this next game though, easy x in my opinion, Guardians Mariners, this one's interesting though. Yankees Diamondbacks Nessor kurtz has Zach Gallen two solid pitchers on the mound. Nine total, though, which is the biggest on this slate. Obviously it's indoors, which you want to be indoors compared to outdoors. I think, yeah, the roof. It was actually a pretty decent day today, so I still think the roof will be closed, But I'm not one hundred percent convinced looking at a game time, I remember any degrees. Regardless, it's one of the best you you want to target this game for hitting compared to all these other spots on the slate. But Gallen's better than most pictures on the slate. Nessor Courts has definitely has strikeout ability. He has definitely susceptible to some power though Christian Walker Loris Gariel. I don't mind Marino at catcher. I don't mind a couple of these dbacks as mini stacks power hunting the Yankees though against Gallen, I don't know. Talk to me. Pretty solid team total on this late ownership isn't getting there a ton, but Galen's not a picture. I love targeting again, so I'm interested in what you're doing there. Yeah, Gallon's you know, Gallon's tough. Yankees kind of bit me in the butt yesterday, so not too sure, but this one does have an over under a nine, which is the highest on the slate. I have more interest, I think, in the righties for Arizona against Nestor Cortes. As I mentioned, he's got just a lot of hard hit rate coming out of Cortes against the righty. So I'm definitely like some Guryel, some Walker, some Ugino I think I said that right, and some Gabe Marino, so I definitely like those guys. I think I have more interest in the Dbacks here tonight than I do the Yankees. Gallon is just a guy that you know, he's just he don't get blown up that much. I just don't think you're gonna see him getting smashed. And this Arizona bullpen isn't too bad either. Right now, they're coming out the gate looking pretty good. So I just I just don't think to blow up potentials there for the Yankees tonight. You know what I the Yankees to me, they need to get Judge going right, Like, man, Judge need to get it going. But you know you want to be on them the first day. Sure that he goes nutty, but you know, some of these hitters that you're paying, you know, premium dollar for, haven't you know, come out the gate swinging too well. You know, it's kind of hard for me to press those buttons, you know. So like, if you like a Yankee stack, don't be afraid to maybe one off, you know, one of the high end bats. You know, maybe get you a different high end bat, you know, like we mentioned, you know a little bit earlier with some of the one off guys we like. But yeah, I'm just I'm not going to be on the Yankees here tonight. I'll find me a different spot for them. You're on mute, donkey, I'm on mute. I have the I mean, I can't navigate this right, I'm doing everything wrong. Hold on, this is what I want to show though. These stack rankings like a little Yanks, and I mean some of these numbers are in the seventies. Is the year goes on, it shows how bad it is in terms of bats on this late. A lot of that has to do with weather. But right here, the Yankees, if you want some pretty low stack, our stack rankings like him, our numbers like him. I did want to pull that up number two right there, the Braves in a tier of their own in first place right there. And we're gonna talk about these Red Sox in a little bit and these Giants in a little bit, and they are definitely gonna be low owned. But I'll keep that up there for right now. I got nothing else in that one. Christian Walker my favorite play in that game. Somebody said, Corbyn Carroll out, Yeah, lineup came out, and yeah, there is no corn Carroll plays Alexander in the two hole two point nine k is very interesting at shortstop too. He might get a little bit of ownership. I think he will in the two hole there if you want to go Barroso probably Butcher that name, but he's an in price two K down there. Don't mind him like that's kind of how and that'll be a lot. I find these these teams games that I mean, Cortes, he's not gonna be too highly owned. But these low cheap guys at positions like a shortstop if it's outfield, whatever, positional scarcity, full punt jam and five expensive bats jam and pitchers, you can live with zeros. That's the thing about baseball. Anyone two k if it makes everything in your lineup work, I could care less if I hate the last person that I plugging my lineup, especially if it is a bad position. So another thing I'll mention for MLB to keep a roll in this game. Cardinals, Padres, I got some interests Mikolos and you darbish on the mound. I like these Padres ge Risen talking weather. We're finally getting out to these lake games. West Coast sixty degrees isn't bad. Mikolos just throws strikes, doesn't miss many bats. He'll pound the zone. You want home runs, you don't want walks in MLB dfs. You want extra base hits, drive them in. Nikolos can definitely be susceptible to a lot of runs in an inning because he just meat balls meatballs. Padre is gonna be low owned fourteen total? Is that my favorites all these guys, though, I mean, what, no one's gonna be over ten percent Tatis. No one's gonna play Tuttis. People are rather Alvarez. People are rather at Kunya et cetera, Machado, third base shorts eligible, bottom of the order, very cheap. I like these Padres three man, five man, I don't know. I'll throw to you on this. Does the Padres offense have enough upside to five man beyond the winner today? Absolutely? Like you mentioned, Nicholas just doesn't miss pats. He throws a lot of strike very low k rate fifteen percent to lefties last season, sixteen percent the righties. It's not very good at all. So yeah, I mean the Padres definitely have a shot. I like that lineup one through nine. You know, you start looking at teams you want to stack. You start getting to the bottom. How many roadbumps you got down there? You know? I I don't mind this lineup for San Diego or Pod San Diego. I'll almost call it's like that got it right, Well, I was thinking something else. I was thinking of to the next game. But either way, to tease Machado, I think all these guys are in play here tonight, Corona Wrus looking pretty nice. They're sitting in the three hole. But I think I I think I kind of use maybe some of these guys as one offs. It is more where I'm at. I like a few other stacks here, a little bit more here in this game today. I don't really have any interest against you, Darvish, with any of these Saint Louis bats. But as I mentioned you know earlier, if if you're looking at Darvish, you go look at his pitch count, seventy eight pitches, seventy two pitches, you know he's he's I think last game is probably on the high end of the ceiling you know, on the higher end of his ceiling range that you're going to see. So the seven k's eighty pitches, I think that's about the best you're gonna get out of him. I don't think Saint Louis has got enough k's in that lineup for that here tonight, which is why I don't I don't have Darvish ranked higher than he could be. But yeah, I think Padres are interesting here tonight. But I just think there's some other spot here I'll be looking at. Yeah, fair enough, Pottery is definitely gonna be low own no interest in the Cardinals for me. You do get leverage off of Chalk or you if you want to go there. Two games left on the slate though, Again, yeah, give me these later games. Cubs Brave is gonna all get ownership early. I mean, I think, yeah, we just talked a little bit about the Podres. I think Boston's interesting here, and I think the Dodgers in this late game's a little interesting. Our stack ranking like Giants as well. So give me these warmer games, dome games that come with little or a little less ownership than the bad weather games on this late with the Cubs and Braves. So that's why broad Slade overview Red Sox, Oakland, Brian Bellow, Alex Wood on the mound, I'll say, I don't mind some of these A's bats if you want to get Conturion off of popular below. If you are playing some of them, I'll throw to g Ryse and who's your favorite. Min'm gonna be Geeloff at the second base position. Everyone's gonna go LB's paying up in the three hole against Bellow. Really good hitter. That's why I think would be my favorite. Seth Brown or Bladet right there as lefties two, I think top of the order. They're cheap enough. Geeloff would be my favorite at second Who's gonna be very low owned. Don't mind some of these A's bats, though I'd rather pick on him than I would Bieber. I'd rather pick on Bello Chalk than I would Biber Padres or Biaber Darvis Chalk. If I have to choose Red Sox Alex would though I mean story crushes lefties, Tyler O'Neill. The problem with them is they have a lot of lefties in their order is sprinkled throughout. You can always play Devers lefty lefty. I'd be fine with him, but I don't know. Probably more of a just a mini sack in this game. But I don't mind any of these A's bats. Start with them. If you have interice against the chalky Bellow on both sides. I mean, if you want to go against the Chalky Bellow. He does have a thirteen percent kit last season against lefties. I mean you're gonna see three out of four lefties in the top of that lineup, Noda, ble Day in Brown. So if I had to choose any of those, you know, Noda would be interesting. Uh there. But you know, Bello, there's just too many keys in this Oakland lineup. I mean almost everybody is almost mid twenty percent higher. I mean we got twenty four, twenty five, thirty four, thirty three, twenty eight, twenty nine, twenty seven suck. I mean they suck. Yeah. Yeah, that's a nice way of putting it. So, I mean it's kind of hard. I do see where you could you know, if you wanted to stack against him. Now, if you look at Boston, one of my favorite one offs today is actually Trevor Story. I like Story against Alex Wood here today. I think he's definitely interesting for me today, one of my top one off guys that I have. And then also if I was looking there, you know you got Alex Wood. He seventeen percent strikeout rate on both sides of the plate. Guy just doesn't strike out too many guys. He does have a high ground ball rate. So that's why I'm really not looking at stacking up any of these Red Sox here today. But I think Story can get the ball in the air here today. He is my favorite Red Sox. He's the guy that I'd be looking at here in this game. And I probably will have some Trevor story as when I was playing with some lineups and he ended up ended up in a couple of them, So would doubt if I have him here today. I like it. Yep, Trevor story for sure, I don't mind. I said Tyler O'Neill, a kid likes him. Dever's lefty, lefty. That'd be my favorite three man way to approach it. If you had to pick on Bellow, you or Shane Bieber, if you had to sack against one of those three, who would you sack against? Well, I am gonna go against you. For the reason being is if you look at that San Diego bullpen, they've already given up twenty six earned runs so far. So if we can get and we already see you as only going seventy eight pitches, so you know, if we can get you, you know, beat up a little bit, we might get into that shitty ass bullpen that they got there. I think there's a lot more upside there to be had because of that. Now, you know, taking that part out of it, you know, I think Bello will probably be the better one to just go after on their own. But man, I was just looking here at some of them bullpens a little bit earlier. I mean it's got awful. I mean they literally San Diego seven earned runs, thirty eight hits. They've been giving up twenty six earned runs, six homers already. Yes, they did have an extra series, but I mean they've given up six home runs. They got a seven earn run average, so they haven't been doing you know, haven't been faring very well so far this season. But man, I just think you get in that bullpen, you might have yourself something there. Yeah. No, I like it for sure. I always like asking that question in baseball. See Garet Cole get blown up a couple of times the years. All of these guys do. So we're talking you Darvishing Deever, Brian Bellows to Chalk. Those guys definitely can get hit around. I mean, especially on this late like no team applied for over five point three runs. Oakland goes up and puts a seven spot up today. Not the craziest thing at seven's a lot in early April DFS. So of course, just because you put up a certain number runs doesn't mean it transitions to optimal. You want home runs still in based et cetera. But yeah, I mean plenty of ways to get different, and I think embracing. It's easier to embrace variants and lower stuff, lower own stuff earlier on the year than midyear, with weather, with sample sizes, et cetera. Team's getting hot, so he definitely can fait chalk. But let's get to the last game on the slate ten ten Eastern San Francisco Giants LA Dodgers logan web, and it's going to be Yarboro. It sounds like from the bulk of the innings Michael Grove will be in there a little bit a bullpen game, but the Dodgers Yarborough will get most of the work. Is how it looks like. I mean, I hate playing these Giants. Maybe you can talk me into some of these guys. Guarantee ninthoni and bats sixty five degrees, one of the better hitting spots on the slates. Bottom of the orders, cheap I just don't like picking on bullpen games much. I don't pick on Yarborough much, didn't pick pick on him in Tampa. And then Dodgers side. I like Dodgers more than the Cubs and more than the Braves for the reason I think they're gonna be half the ownership. Like, I just think everyone's gonna go with Kunya over muki Otani Freeman. The bottom of the order, you get cheap ads. Lucks hasn't been good at all. Hayward's cheap if he's in there, but second base LUTs phills. They just have so many ways. Man play the Dodgers every day. Play the Braves every day you can win today. Dodgers are lower owned than the Braves, so I'll just side with that side in better hitting environments. Logan Web's a better picture though, So it's not like I'm saying the ownership's wrong, but yeah, just play the Dodgers always. So yeah, I like the Dodgers a lot today. Yeah, you know, I always love playing me some Mookie. I mean, that's my favorite guy in all of DFSI play. There's no secret about that. But yeah, I mean I could see your point here. I mean Web is a pretty good pitcher. Now. You know, in baseball, it's funny like you can get you could literally have zero or five or you know, six to nine points out of your stack and get you a you know, a nice little rally going in a seventh eighth inning and maybe get two and more at bats. You know, you get all the points you need. I mean, I've seen that happen many at times. We could definitely see that here today in this Dodger game, because you know, going back, you know, I was looking at them bullpens. You know who the worst bullpen is title the era A ten with twenty aron runs giving up and four homers and literally only what four games, that would be the Giants. The Giants bullpen's been just got awful here lately. So now we're talking about the Dodgers coming in, so hey, if Webb when he goes five innings and we get you know, three innings, or you know, if we get that fourth at bet, you know, that ninth inning at bat, I mean, you might get all you need there at the end of that at the end of that game. So definitely something to think about. Dodgers. Definitely would be a great pivot off of the Braves here tonight, So yeah, definitely like that. They are expensive if you're going to go that route, so you're probably gonna have to pay down a little bit at pitching, but it'll be interesting to see. I haven't seen that that lineup drop. Now. Let's not forget it's the end of the beginning of the season. The Dodgers like to pitch hit, so you know, don't think here that in San Francisco. I haven't looked up and down that exact roster, but San Francisco generally always has a lot of lefties. Pretty much everybody has a lot of lefties over there in that division in their bullpens, so they know what they got to deal with. They all got to beat the Dodgers. They got a bunch of lefti's over there, so they're gonna be able to play matchup there with them there at the end. But as I mentioned, that bullpen's come out, it's been absolutely garbage here, So definitely Dodgers somebody you're gonna want to look at here today. Now one offs over there on the on the San Francisco side at Solera Chapman. I think those guys are interesting if you want to look at those guys for one offs. But uh yeah, Dodgers for me be a flat full stack. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't one off them. I'd just stack them. I like that. Yeah, I'd rather full man, full five two. I think i'd rather full five man, Braves too, and even Comes, because Braves and Comes will get enough ownership today where if you think they just break the slate, get all five of them, people will still one off enough Dodgers, people aren't gonna play. But yeah, when Dodgers get there, like one's six point four k Mookie six to two, O tan E five to eight Freddy, like when you need all of them, they're putting up a big number. They're multiple, they're hitting multiple of them are hitting bounds on the slates. So I prefer the five man too. Now we had a question in chat before we get on out of here. Great stuff as always, do you rise. I appreciate all the love and chat over to hundred watching Mike button goes a long way. We appreciate that. If you want to join us at the Nation, just MLB. We have promo code MLB fifteen stuffware showing right here. These hitter rankings right here. Someone asks, who are your favorite Toronto? If you're gonna stack all, I did? I go to the hitter rankings rankings. I go to team the Blue Jays. You can see our hitter rankings. Don't love the Blue Jays much. My answer that would be I would definitely play Vlad and I don't love the five man as, but Flat would be in every single stack again projections we have up here. What'd you say? Turner hits left as well, Turner right here as the second. Yeah, those two would be my favorites. Four to six is up there. A little bit can play him, a third can play that Lad at first, get a little mini stack there. But yeah, our projections will be updated throughout the night. Slave plans already up. These are the hitter rankings. We showed some picture rankings, stack rankings, starting lineups, Cash Report four Core plays on FanDuel, five on DraftKings, GPP Core Report FanDuel DraftKings as well. Awesome stuff. Again, we really appreciate everyone hanging out, and I love the chirp and two It's all love. We definitely will Butcher names Crochet. I'll remember that one though not the last time. We'll get into game A name wrong. Hope everybody has a good day. Gee, Raisan, I'm throwing it to you though. Final thoughts for the people besides monitor weather, Chicago games, monitor weather, refresh on that and then Detroit or New York Mets. I'm not playing that game. We're off. Has it as orange as much. If you guys think it plays and you like it, it'll be very low on final thoughts your rising. Hey, I mean, this is a slate here. I think we we I think we broke it down fairly well here today. Title. I mean, we gave you some thoughts on potentially some low own pivots on some stacks. We gave you some thoughts about some pitching. We kind of broke it all down for you. So you know, make your take what you got here, make make your you know teas, look who you like, you know, I mean, we all can't be on the same things. I always laugh, especially baseball, when you see these you know, these these guys that give out you know, a lineup or whatever else. Why the hell do you want to play the same stinking lineup in a tournament in baseball? So try to be a little bit different. Let's have some fun today, beginning time, beginning part of the season, and hey, you know, we don't always got to break out. I'm not playing that twelve hundred dollars queue here today title because I mean, if we're mid you know, me, June and I had some good numbers behind it. But hey, let's not let's not forget we're still here at the beginning stages of baseball. Some of these guys you know, aren't stretched out there, you know, not seeing the ball yet. Well, so you know, that's why I mentioned possibly going after Veldez today with Toronto. I mean, he came out the gate, looked like shit, how do we know? Maybe he just he's not there yet, comes out the gate again against an all right handed lineup. That's why we mentioned maybe it's a nice low on pivot. But hey, make your decisions. Let's have some fun. Keep your eyes on the weather. Maybe we'll have us a nice little fun Twitter party tonight with some nice screenshots, and then guess what we get to get right back at it here tomorrow. I think it's you and I back here at it tomorrow. So we're gonna have some fun. But I'm gonna warn you all tomorrow. I got a bowl tomorrow at four thirty, So my ass ain't gonna be talking here at four forty three still because I got a bowl. My teammates be pissed. I'm anchorman. I can get there a little late, but they're gonna be mad now, Title, if I don't show up, So but it's only five minutes down the road, that's a good thing. On the way home after them, I had to get picked up last week. Title, it was bad news, bad news, I will say too. Is you rise in the tomorrow early slates? I don't even know, to be honest, we be on the lookout for the shows in the discord, but Early is taken over tomorrow. There's only my time. So seven to ten, seven forty and eight ten are the only three games that lock at night. So yeah, Early Slate. We'll have to see what we're gonna do with that. Be in the discord. Maybe how about maybe we will g rise and we'll talk with the guys. We'll get a plan up for that. We'll have all of the content as always, And then you mentioned it, we still have the NBA going on Rio soo grinding get great Slate today. All the content will be up for that. No better time.
