• 1:09
  Speaker 2: all different buy ins, all different entry fees. Shout out
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to my guy Tambo started came over to ship a
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Nation with him at the start of the company, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: he didn't have the turnout he wanted in the millie
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: going into to Sunday. Shout out to Kidiyama for just
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: falling on his face and some other guys there and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: other guys obviously nuke in there, but found himself a
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: nice hundred thousand dollars win in the showdown streets on Sunday.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: We went one two in that contest. Lighty took home
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the two hundred stacks and the main flag ship there.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: But more importantly right, Shipping Nation went one two three
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: in the main to the main three match. I think
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: it was the what the two hundred fifty dollars three
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: max with twenty k to first one two to three
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: finish for shipping Nation. There a couple thirty thousand dollars
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: winners two fifteen thousand dollars Winter plus a couple ten
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars winners and many more see out there as well,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and I know a lot of those wins members cashed
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: in based on tickets out there. So coming off a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: hell of a weekend in the PGA streets, I know
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: MMA was great. Shout up to our guy Marley for
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: shipping the MMA qualifier seat there and plenty of other
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: wins there. So just an incredible weekend all around over
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the Over the weekend, an incredible event. Obviously, Masters is
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: always good. I didn't really love how they kind of
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: set up the course there, but they can only do
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: so much obviously with the weather they had. But nonetheless
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: still an absolutely incredible showing and an incredible tournament there.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Shout out to all the winners. Hoping to keep that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: momentum rolling here.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I know we got a big five to fifty five
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: tonight with two under k up top in the MLB
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: streets that they ran satellites for plenty of other qualifiers
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and massive contests for Monday Matt they finally pushed the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: start time up added these additional three games, which hey
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: very important on the slate from pitching and from hitting
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: perspective in general. So I'm glad they did that and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: made it a nine game slate and out of a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: six game slate, I'll bring you in, man, How is
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: your weekend?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: How was your Masters? How's everything?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Looking forward to to breaking it down here today?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, YouTube, man, excited to talk with some MLB with you.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: We got a full slate As you mentioned, they brought
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: in these early games that I'm excited about.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: The more the merrier, I guess.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I feel like I personally prefer like small MLB slates
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: where I can really get granular with it and just
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: play plays that you know on main slants aren't really relevant.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: But I like states like this also where there's only
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: one team getting a bunch of ownership, and it's not
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: like that team is in cores or you know, something
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: of the sort. They're just the Yankee Sacon Kakuchi and
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Yankee stadium, so they have looked good, but other teams
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: also look good.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: So yeah, excited to break this down with you. Weekend
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: was good.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not a huge golf head, so I enjoy the
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Masters a little bit. My dad's a huge golfer, So
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: watching a little bit, dabbling some dfs, but mostly excited
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: about talking some MLB and NBA playoffs starting this week
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: at least the playing games, so good sports time. We've
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: just finished, you know, hoops in college. A lot to
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: look forward to on the horizon.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got an incredible mb team over here, obviously
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: yourself and myself on that ham title, g Rise and
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the rest of the crew that helps out. I know
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a guy Rio drops in at times and throws his
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: nuggets in the discord and he has a hell of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a hell of an MLB mind and usually has a
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: ton of success along with all the other members too,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So shouting out there, we got you covered in the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: MLB lobby all kind of all obviously all season, right,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: It's it's the main sport going on right now. I
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: know NBA playoffs are going to be good with you
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and Rio and the rest of the crew there heading
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: that up. But yeah, looking forward to to baseball. I
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: love baseball. Chevy guy little next in here, speaking of Reo,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: he's there, Michael W. Scooter mcgav and Sean Sally, Parabye,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Nate D turn My KPD, Taco Taj Sully again Metro boom,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Aaron Smith. Appreciate everyone tuning in and hit that like button.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Hit that subscribe button. Helps us out a ton and exetron.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: We're gonna try to try to give you the shippers
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the best we can talk through it here. I'm gonna
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: go ahead and pull our partner Sabersim up here, swap
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the screen over and whila, let me go ahead and
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: hide this, make this bigger for everyone there and boom.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So terms of pitching, Matt's big big talking point on
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the slates again, DraftKings is doing their thing that they
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: always do and pricing these pitchers at like ten k
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: or below ten k just seems to be the ceiling
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: at least early on in the ceiling season here. So
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: far from a pitching perspective, pitching today is really consolidated
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: around kind of four arms Eovaldi, Sanchez, Skiens and then Crochet,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Crochet being the big one him and Skiings up at
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the top. Sanchez is gonna be kind of sandwich between
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: those guys, a little bit our own, but people are
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: gonna play him. And that's the biggest game at risk
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: for weather on the slate is Garrett Crochet, So I
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: guess that's definitely one of the main talking points on
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the slate because that game does lock a full hour
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: after those early three that early window start time there,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: so definitely gonna be want to be around leading up
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to lock. It is an earlier lock time again, as
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I alluded to, five to thirty five Central times, six
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: thirty five Eastern time, so it does start about forty
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: minutes earlier than normal, So make sure you do have
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: your teams and you are around to make adjustments because
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: there's not just one game starting, and there's three games,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and there's three important games starting early. So I'll throw
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: it over to you right away from let's go eight
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: K and above. So you got Grant Holmes down there
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: at eight K, Yuri Prez Gavin Williams skiing Sanchez and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Crochet I alluded to like the weather there in Minnesota.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Kevin Roth has it taked his orange, which doesn't look great.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: They could potentially sneak it through and that. But again,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it's the first game of the series with a lot
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: of day baseball on Wednesday to round up the series,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: so it's very easy that if it's throwing the PPD,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that they can just play a doubleheader on day baseball
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: on a Wednesday to round up the series there with
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Boston coming to the Midwest to Minnesota there, so touch
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: on him and the weather concerns there and then what
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: are you doing with these other guys up?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so as far as Gorse goes, I do think
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: he's the top arm like undoubtedly, so I want to
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: play him. I'm no weather man, so I don't know exactly.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: I do know me personally. I usually avoid weather spots
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: like especially spots where it's really really risky.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I get both sides of the coin.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I understand playing spots like this too, if it's gonna
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: be risky heading into locke Man. It's tough though, because
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I think Crochet looks really good. I like Boston as
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: a stack, which we'll get to. But knowing the weather
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: is in doubt here for sure, we do have other
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: good options. Skins himself, like Washington's been good to start
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: the season. Skins his numbers don't look amazing because of
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: that first start where he got screwed over by some
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: bad defense, etc. But he's still got immense arm talent.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Obviously.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I think he looks really really good as their crochet
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: pivot or playing them together if the weather in Minnesota holds.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Sanchez is the other guy. I don't think you feel
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: as good about him as you do. Schemes are crochet,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: but despite a couple rough starts in a row, I
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: still believe in his stuff. I've been on Sanchez for
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: seems like forever at this point, even though it's hasn't
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: been that long because he hasn't been in the majors
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: that long. But I just love his stuff. So I
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: don't love picking on the Cubs. But if you take
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: crochet out, I think he looks really really good. After that,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: we got a few arms to choose from Ak and above.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: I think it's Gavin Williams, another guy as all the
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: arm talent in the world.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Walks are an issue with him.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: This spot Saint Louis can be pesky, but all in all,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: I'm not scared of the Cardinals. You've got good weather
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: in Saint Louis for hitting, but kind of a change
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: of the trend tonight where a lot of spots are
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: good hitting wise. So I like Evin Williams again, especially
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: if we don't have Crochet. Even if we do hit
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: have Crochet, I think he's too cheap for his upside.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: You mentioned Grant Holmes. He's the other guy you get
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: the soft landing spot against Miami. They're another team, like
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: they're pesky, they're far from the Rockies on the road home.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Seems pricey at ak.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: I know he was chalking that last slate against the
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Angels at like sixty eight hundred or wherever he was.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: You get a full price increase here. He's in play
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: for sure because of the matchup and how this slate
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: plays out, but I'm not excited about it. I think
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: there's better options a little bit cheaper than him that
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: are getting more ownership, and rightfully, so all in all,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: I think we have pretty good stable arms.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: To look at the seeding, Yeah, it's definitely no swordes
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: of Arms. I'd be shocked if Crochet's ownership doesn't kind
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: of moon walk back and Sanchez and Skeins kind of
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: go up just due to the weather concern and that
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: game starting so much later, and if you're stuck on Crochet.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at the other arms you got.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got Gavin Williams down there at ninety eight
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: hundred or eighty eight hundred.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Who is my top overall arm on the slate.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I like him a ton, but you're really kind of
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: you got to get a different roster construction after that
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: with Crochet.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Then.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: The thing why Crochet's ownership is gonna it's so tricky
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: is not only the weather, but I mean the reason
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: he's so high owned is because it's so easy to
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: afford the Yankees in Yankee Stadium against Kakuchi and that
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Angels bullpen with wind blowing out there, that you don't
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: really have to make offensive sacrifices because the Yankees are
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: underpriced in general.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: So it's tough what to do.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: If there was no weather concerns on the slate, Crochet
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: is easily my favorite pitcher on the slate.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: All things point to that.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Facing the Twins in a good Pictures ballpark there, it's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: just so hard to not know.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm hoping we get some clarity there. For me,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: it's just tough to really.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Without knowing what the weather's going to do over the
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: next couple hours and we won't even know. And not
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: only that, like I said, it's the first game of
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the series with a day game on Wednesday, so they
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: can easily play a double heaterer on Wednesday, which makes
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: me even more hesitant. And obviously they play the Twins
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: at home later in the year too, where they could
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: make a makeup game as well, So it just seems
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: more risky than normal to me.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I probably put it in about a thirty percent PPD.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: It's probably anywhere from twenty to thirty percent out there,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: so it is a big talking point on the slate.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I'm with you Christopher Sanchez. I like him a ton
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I like the Philly Bats a lot. I get it
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the wins really good there, hot weather in Philly, wind
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: blown out, kind of the consistency across the slate, which
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: is overall been our best hitting conditioned slate at least
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: during the week that I've seen. I don't play too
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: much on the weekends in general, but throughout the week
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: right the weather for hitting tonight seems to be the
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: best I've seen all year so far, with a kind
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: of a warm streak across the country going. So I
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: like Sanchez quite a bit. I think he's got strikeout ability.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: He's just a picture that typically doesn't get blown up
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: too much. So I don't mind him. At ninety eight hundred,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Skins feels like they I get Washington has been pesky
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and and this and that. I just I don't expect
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Washington to be a super good team Skiens. I expect
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: him to be kind of revert back to his normal self,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: who's in contestent contention for as a young right So
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I do like Skiens. He still has a thirty two
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: thirty k rate to lefties, which he's gonna see majority
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: lefties here, and he just doesn't get hit.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Hard very very much.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: So overall, there is some risk there, and I can
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: see a case where you don't even have to play
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: either of these top three arms. Gavin Williams, he's my
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: favorite overall pitcher on the slate at eighty hundred tons
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: of strike on ability there, I like him.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: It's good weather, hitting weather again in Saint Louis, but
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: it's still a pitcher's ballpark there. It's still the Cardinals lineup,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: there's still a lot of strikeouts there.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I just Likekevin Williams.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: A ton so he's my favorite overall pitcher Urie Prez.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I can't really mess with him or Grant Holmes in
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: that game. I think they're a little overpriced. They both
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: have walk concerns. Perez has strike out ability. Grant Holmes
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: it seems like just kind of the floor guy. And
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: at eight K when you've got guys that are cheaper
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: at ownership where I'm not really too concerned. I just
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: don't see the need to mess with Perez or Holmes.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I want fault anyone there. So for me, really up
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: in the top tier, my favorite arm by far is
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: gonna be Gavin Williams. It would be Crocheted next, but
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: again with the weather, I'm concerned there. And then I'd
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: go to Sanchez as three those are kind of my
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: three favorite guys up there.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Skeins is fine.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I am a little worried about how he's looked so
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: far to start the year against lefties. I do expect
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: him to kind of regress back. And Washington's hot right now,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: so that does give me some slight concern there. But
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Schemes would be the third or the fourth guy up
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: in the top tier, dropping down below eight K. Some
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: of my favorite options on the slater down here, start
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: with Eovaldi at seventy eight hundred. Talk about him, who's
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: going to get some ownership on the slate, and Will
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Warren for sure going to get some ownership anytime. The
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yankees are going to be popular with that run total people. Naturally,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a pitcher with strikeout ability and any picture going up
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: against the Angels with their strikeouts that they have is
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: going to get ownership all all year. Those two guys
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: are kind of soaking up the majority of the ownership
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: down here reading Nelson, maybe a little bit, But what
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: do you see down here below Ak.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a bunch of good options.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I think here too, Like that's why even with the
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: crochet news you talk about Evaldi, who you mentioned at
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: the forefront, is getting some ownership.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Will Warren, who I think riskier than we might have thought.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: At the beginning of season against this Angels lineup but
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: still strike out upside.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: I think ghost guys right there probably look the best.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I don't love either of them, like Eavaldi, solid arm
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: never mind using him. You get an A's lineup without Rooker,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: but going to this ballpark, I don't know into ownership,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: I'm probably off him, but I certainly understand playing him.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: There are other options down here, but honestly, I feel like,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: if I'm spending down I almost want to go even
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: cheaper guys like Oh it's ugly, but Ryan Nelson and
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Dean Kramer.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I think both offenses of that.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Game are widely in play, but both pitchers under seven
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: k you know, fully stretched out, talented to the somewhat
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: extent arms like you could convince me all four side.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Of the Orioles d Backs game.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: So I don't know if I get to anything there,
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: probably more likely the offense. But there's a bunch of
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: good offenses I like tonight too, So you get Kokuchi
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: also as like the six K guy leverage off of
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: the really chalky stack you know, never comfortable. The Yankees
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: have been bad against left he so far this season,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: though we saw Jeffrey Springs just dominate them a week ago,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: a few days ago whenever that was, so I don't
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: hate the Kokuchi leverage here, low owned strike out upsete
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: like he's too cheap another guy fully stretched out. The
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: more I think about it, if I'm not playing the Yankees,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: I kind of like the idea of going to the Kokuchi.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: No one like it's extremely risky, but so it's fading
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: the Yankees, and if the Yankees don't go nuts here,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: I kind of feel like Kokuchi could have a game
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: like this is a guy we've seen way more expensive
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: than this as recently, as like last season. I wasn't
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: expecting it, but I'm kind of talking myself into Kokuchi.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Call me, tell me where I'm off here.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: No, I think you're spot on, So I'll talk about
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Kakouchi in depth in a little bit here.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I differ than you a little bit on Eovaldi. It's
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: just due to the nature of the slate. I just
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I think the books are not mad, are not scared.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: They hung a six and a half k prop slightly
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: juice to the under there, but still hung a six
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and a half k prop there on Eovaldi, A's still
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: strike out the ton.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I get it. It's in Sacramento, in that Crackerjack ballpark.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: But in terms of the weather on the slate, it's
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I mean that's like one of the one of the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: least favorable hitting conditions on the slate. I mean, temperatures
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: in the upper fifties. I mean you're talking like twenty
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: degrees colder there, compared to these Midwest games and the
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: East Coast games in that earlier on in the day
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: and the wins kind of not really doing anything there,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: which obviously those minor league stadiums like where they're playing
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: in Sacramento there have a lot more effect with the wind.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I get it, it's three eighty in the power allies
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: four hundred to center, three thirty down the line, but
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: it is less favorable than some of the other spots
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: on the slate, so I'm not quite as worried, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I'm just chasing strikeouts.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I think he can have strikeouts.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: The A's have almost a thirty percent k rate against
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: right handed pitching on the year. Eovaldi last thirty days
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: sitting at about twenty seven percent k rate really gets
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: tagged against lefty, So yeah, you can definitely play some Soderstrom, Butler, Cortes,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: some of these lefties there. But guys like Jeff McNeil,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: he's a contact guy, I'm not too worried about him.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: He still has a lot of strikeouts.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: So I do like Eovaldi quite a bit, even at
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: ownership there, so I'm not really worried there. If picking
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: between Eovaldi or Warren I definitely side with Eovaldi at
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: similar ownership. I don't know if that holds true. It's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: just I think the Angels, Yeah, the Angels have a
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: lot of strikeouts, but they also have a lot of
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: power with wind blown out in Yankee Stadium on the
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: other side of that. So I'd rather much rather side
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: with Eovaldi over Warren. I think Warren is still playable
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: for sure on this slate. And again it's another case
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: where like a lot of these arms, and the way
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: the slate shakes up is you're going to want to
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: play both sides of this a couple of these spots,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: especially in m ME right, So Warren Evaldi I'm fine with.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I do like Green Nelson quite a bit. Pitch counts
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: not a concern. Sixty eight hundred Oh's have been cold
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: as can be to start the year. It is one
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of the higher totals on the slate there, but at
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: sixty eight hundred with strike on ability and has shown
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the ability to kind of go deep four and a
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: half k prop heavy juice they over there, which is
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: right in line with some of these other guys.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: So I like him down here.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Dean Kramer, I think is fine, but I much preferred Nelson,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: and the d Backs have a pretty good bullpen as well,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: So if he sets up for the win, there's a
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: good chance that he could be in line for those
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: extra four points, which go a long way when you're
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: looking at a salary saver pitcher. And then I'll talk
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: on Kakuchi. I wrote up Kakuchi and the Nads and
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: gets it in the discord. Not only is it he's
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: the cheapest starting pitcher on the slates, but the Yankees
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: almost a thirty percent K right against left handed pitching.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: We know Kakuchi always has the strikeout ability. What does
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: he struggle with home runs and power? Well, yeah, if
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: he gives up a home run or two or three,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: even to guys like Judge and Stanton and the rest
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: of the crew there, I mean yeah, he can still
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: offset it with a K or with with strikeouts. His
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: K props sitting at five and a half, he's six K.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I get it could just go south in a hurry.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: However, the Yankees could be higher on than some of
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: the teams we've ever seen in course field, especially to
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: start the year. Because of that, I get it. The
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Angels bullpen is terrible Yankees could get there late things
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: like that. I just I think Kakuchi. If I was
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: playing three teams and say like the five point fifty
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: five or something like that, I'm playing two main teams,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I would not fault anyone. I think it's important to
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: have a five man Yankee stack, but one of my
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: three teams would definitely have Kokuchi and spend up stack
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: outside of the Yankees. That get you on a different
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: roster construction. And you play a Kakuchi and say like
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: a maybe a Christopher Sanchez instead of Crochet or Skiing's
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: up top, or you just go Kokuchi, and you go
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: a guy like Gavin Williams who could outmatch all three
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: of those guys at the top in terms of strikeouts,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: and now you have a completely different roster construction than
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: what the field's going to do. So that's how I
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: would play it. I definitely think Kakuchi for sure. I'm
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: keeping him in the pool. I'm gonna be overweight. I'll
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: probably have like twenty percent of him in MMME and
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: twenty mac stuff, just because I think it's a really
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: really good spot for strikeouts, and at six K, that's
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: all you're looking for strikeouts. If he gets us fifteen
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: to eighteen points at six K, and some of these
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: other guys like Crochet gets rained out things like that.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think you could be sitting pretty good.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: So I do like Kikuchi there with you. So overall,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: in summary for me, it's Gavin Williams, Eavaldi, Sanchez, Nelson,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Kakuchi are kind of the five main guys I'm looking at.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I'm worried about Crochet with the weather, but if I
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: get clarity on that, he'd be right up there on
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: top of my board.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: What do you see here?
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: No, Yeah, I totally am in alignment with you.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: I like the Kakuchi call. He's just so cheap and
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: he's got strikeout upside. And again goes to my point like,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: if you're not playing the Yankees, makes them fass with
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Gagucci because if they're not going nuts, it's likely the
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: six K pitcher against them did well because they're so cheap.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: He's so cheap, you know, It's kind of like the
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Baltimore Arizona game.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Both sides are so cheap.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Obviously you've got Judge in the mix, but everyone else
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: is cheap enough where you can stack themble comfortable comfortably
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: with whoever else you want. So yeah, I get Kagucci.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I'll land there because I don't
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: think you have to do it. Plenty of ways to
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: spend up on pitching, but I got no issues with it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: And if hower playing one fifty, I'd definitely be over
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: the field. He might sneak into one or two of
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: my lineups tonight. I never mind getting weird with it
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: in MLB, and he's a good way to do that.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: He's just too cheap man. Like you talked about his
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: strikeout upside. I'm not worried about his floor here because
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm not winning tournaments if he doesn't pitch
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: well anyways.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: But his ceiling is super high for this tag, so
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I'm in.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with one hundred percent jumping over to hitters.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Here one of the better hitting environments on the slate,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: at least in terms of run totals and just in
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: general game total overall.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Baltimore and Arizona.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Here, temperatures are up wind is blown out to centerfield
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: at seven to ten twelve miles an hour from from
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: what I'm looking at here. However, two pitchers that aren't
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: great but are serviceable in general, this game is tough
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: for me to get a read. For me personally, I
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: just like more mini stacks in this game. I think Marte,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Carrol Perdomo Castillo is a really really good stack there,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: even Alec Thomas. I like the lefties there against Kramer,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Marte Carrol Perdomo are going to be in play every
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: single slate.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: They're on all year long.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Power speed guys never really get a ton of ownership,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: full nining at bats here, so I like those guys.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I'm always an Alec Thomas guy like him down there.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Del Castillo at a catcher, you get another lefty, so
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: you get an eight one, two, three four stack.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's in play. I don't mind that.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: And then on the Oriel side, I think Gunner Henderson
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: is one of the better players in the slate. Pete Alonso,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: for all the PvP guys out there, has absolutely murdered
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Green Nelson every time you see them. You got Basalo
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: a cheap catcher there. Both of these stacks are in play,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: but they're not two of my top stacks on the board.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: It's just a really weird game. Two of the better
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: bullpens as well. To start the season, Arizona sits six
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: best and Baltimore is eighth best, so again, right up
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: there with some of the better ones in the league
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: so far. What do you see here in terms of hitting?
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you, like I think that on a
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: lot of slates, these two offenses might stand out more,
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: but we got good hitting weather in a lot of spots.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: I kind of feel how I felt when we talked
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: about the pitching and that either stack is in play.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Arizona's super cheap, Baltimore not a great start to the season,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: but they've gotten it going a little bit recently. Obviously
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: the top of the lineup Gunner a bunch of home
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: runs already on Linzo went Yard, Taylor Ward's been good
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Basiah Homeward recently.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: So I understand either stack, and.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Especially as like a pivot off of the Yankees, who
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: are going to be the highest done stack on the board.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: It's I'm just not sure it's where I land because
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: I think they fall in line with a bunch of
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: other good spots, the Phillies, the Dodgers, the Rangers, Angels,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: as you mentioned, so I think you can throw them
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: right in line there like they don't look as good
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: as the Yankees on paper, but when you include ownership,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: I think you can make a reasonable case for either
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: of these teams for full stacks. But I'm with you,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: probably more likely I get there in minis the zone
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: of mini.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Cheap all over in Baltimore.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: I mentioned the guys I like, so, yeah, I see
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: this game kind of for all four sides of it.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I definitely lean to the d Backs.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Dean Kramer is making his first start of the year.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: He's been pitching well in the minors, but we all
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: know that doesn't translate to to to the big leagues.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: He's shown like a thirty thirty two per k rate
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: so far in the limited sample in the minors, but
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: we we know that. And again, these lefties can can
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: get there either way. So if I had to pick
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: a side, it'd be more on the d back side.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: But it's more Minis for me. Marte Carrol, Perdomo, Gunner,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo my my five favorite bats from that game overall.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Takes us to one of my favorite spots on the
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: slate Cubs and the Phillies, Christopher Sanchez Javier Assad. Assad's
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: been pitching pretty well. Sanchez one of the better pitching
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: options on the slate, but this is probably the best
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: hitting environment on the slate. From from what I'm seeing here,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be hot and hot up in up up
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: in Philly. Got temperatures in the upper seventies, low eighties,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: with double digit win the entire duration of the game,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: blowing out to that lefty power rally in the right
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: center field.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I love this spot for the Phillies.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Phillies one of my top stacks on the slate, if
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: not my top stack. Ownership's gonna get held in check obviously,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: because we got the Dodgers and obviously the Yankees on
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: the slate holding them down.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I love the Phillies here. Javier Asad, Yeah, he's decent.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: But he's been one of the he's one of the
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: lesser pitcher options on the slate going today, and the
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Cubs bullpen kind of middle of the road, right, So
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I love the Phillies here. I know the Phillies have
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: not been great, but I think at home here against Chicago,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: who obviously everyone bought on heavy coming into the year
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: with all the offseason trades they made going out and
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: getting Bregman, I know they lost Kyle Socker, but then
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: signing their pitchers and in that, I think the spot
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: is really nice for the Phillies here.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: What do you see?
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you. I don't know if I
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: like them quite as much as you do, but I
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: have no arguments with it. Just planning your flag there,
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: sounds like they're your favorite stack on the slate.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: I'm not a I'm not a believer in a side
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: not buying what he's selling. Philly immense upside, I do think,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: and I wrote this in the slate plan, of all
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: the non Yankees or Dodger stacks, they have the highest
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: upside on the board.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: You look at the top of their lineup in this matchup,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: good hitting weather. I get it. I'm playing five lineups tonight.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: It's likely I have some exposure here. Hard not to.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: They look really good. I like their upside.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they're my favorite stack on the board,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: but they're right in that second group.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's the craziest to play some of
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: these Cubs guys like Bregman, Horner, Ian Happ, even Matt
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Shaw who's a lefty masher there, Carson Kelly, who is
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: projected to being there against the lefty. I don't think
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: it's the craziest take much. Prefer the Philly side of
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: this one for sure. Starting with all of the lefties,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna attack a picture who yeah, keeps the
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: ball on the ground in a side but doesn't strike
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: anyone out. He's sitting at a sixteen per krate, has
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: been pretty wide at times as well to Writy's with
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: a double digit walk rate. So you start walking guys
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: like Trey Turner who can steal a Doulas Carcia, and
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: then you got guys on base for guys like Schwarber, Harper,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Brandon Marsh, Justin Crawford who's cheap down there.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I like it quite a bit here for sure. Next
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: game on the slate, Pirates and the Nationals, Kate Cavali
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: on the mound, Paul Skeen's on the mound, Paul Skans
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: probably if we don't get clarity on Crochet, gonna be
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the highestzone pitcher on the slate. So yeah, naturally you
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: can have some Nationals and the red hot right now.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I saw a guy in chat slandered and how they
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: swept the Brewers. We also got to remember, for everyone's sake,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: we're fifteen games through the season, right. Brewers ended up
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: with the best record in baseball last year, and they
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: started out absolutely abysmal. Teams last year started out absolutely
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: red hot, fell off the cliff by the end of
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the year, teams like the Mets, things like that.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: So it's very limited. Are the Nationals playing good right now?
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Absolutely they are. Is Paul Skans gonna get o? Absolutely?
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Do the Nationals make sense in tournaments?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Yes? James Wood cj Abrams two of the better players
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: in the slate. You want the lefties against Paul Skins.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: The Nationals know that they threw out eight lefties against him.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: That's what keeps my interest slightly down against Paul Skins
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: when I have other guys like it, Christopher Sanchez, like
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Gavin Williams, liking Nathany Uvalde, who I can play in
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the slate. So Nationals firmly in play for me, and
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: then the Pirates hit the show of the ball yesterday.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Brandon Lowe has been one of the best hitters in
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: baseball to start the year. Kate Cavali's been one of
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the lesser pitchers going. So I have the Pirates up
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: there is one of my favorite stacks or one of
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: my top stacks on the slate as well, and you
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: add in the Nationals bullpen, who is down there in
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: terms of league worst. I'm in on both sides of
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: this game, but definitely in on the Pirates for stacks.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you make good points on the masts,
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: like they've been passking to start the year. But I'm
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: personally not interested in stacking them against Paul Skins here.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Just too many other good spots if that's a WINSDA night.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Albeit I'm with you on Skeens himself, we talked about that.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: I do think the Pirates look good as well. Like
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: talked about this kind of group of teams that falls
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: like dumps. You can dump them all together right after
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: the Yankees and Dodgers. I think the Pirates fit there.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Cavalley is not a gas can, but on this slate
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: you kind of mentioned it with a sod like he's
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: one of the weaker arms to target. So Pirate's definitely
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: in play here. You got the pairing of Skins and
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: the Pirates together, if that's your thing, I will say
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: I also agree to your point about Washington has a
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: good lineup. They're PASKI and that is also why I
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: prefer Crochet over Skans if weather weren't a thing. But
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: it is a thing, and I think Skeens is a
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: more than fine pivot.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you there, so yeah we see that good.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: And again, I mean Skeens could definitely have ten strikeouts
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: or twelve strikeouts even right here. But the now, I
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: just haven't struck out a ton against right hand and
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: pitching to start the year. And that's in I mean,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: almost three hundred plate appearances. They're sitting at an eighteen
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: and a half percent k rate, and one of those
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: is James Wood, who's probably the hottest hitter in baseball
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: right now, if not one of them with his thirty percent,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: which is obviously boosting that number. And Brady House the
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: only righty in the lineup there, so it actually let
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: me refresh this. I don't even see Brady House. Yeah
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: he's not in there. So now you take a strikeout
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: bat out of the line up there in House and
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: replace it with a guy who doesn't strike out a lot.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, so there's there's reason to play some I
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: much prefer I'm not going to five man stack the
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Nats outside of large field tournaments or something like that.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: But I think James Wood cj Abrams two man mini
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: stack in a chalkier team, I think it makes.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: A ton of stents there.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I love the Pirates here a lot more
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: than some of the other teams on the slate. Takes
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: us to the most important talking point of the slate.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: It feels like Core's point coors Field two point Oh.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Look at this combined ownership here pushing one hundred and
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: twenty five percent, which is absolutely ridiculous. And not to mention,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: you got guys who are probably for sure getting pinch
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: hit for as soon as Kikuchi's out of this mount
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: of this game, gold Schmit's gonna get pinch hit for.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Greek Chick's gonna get pinch hit for. Cavallero could get
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: pinch hit for. I mean, you add it. I'm in Rosario,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: right you add in the pinch hit concerns along with
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: the ownership. I mean, are the Yankees the best play
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: in paper? Absolutely? Is? Everybody gonna tell you, all the talents,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: all the shows everywhere across the industry is gonna have
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: the Yankees is the best play? Right you saw the
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: dry run seventy percent Yankee stacks in terms of projected score,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: fifty percent of those being five man stacks. Because look
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: at these price points outside of Aaron Judge, they're ridiculously cheap.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: But that's because they're facing a lefty.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: So you got these pinchhait guys like gold Schmith, like Rosario,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: like gree Chick, who aren't everyday players thrust it in
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: this lineup because they're facing Kakuchi. Now, those guys could
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: easily hit a home run first at first two at
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: bats against Kakuchi. But Kakuchi is obviously he's a GPP
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: special pitcher always. Every time he's on the slate, even
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: last year, there's gonna be slates where he strikes out
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: eight to ten guys, and there's gonna be slates where
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: he gives up four home runs, gets pulled after.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Two innings and you and you lose.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Right, So I say all that, what do you see
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: here in terms of hitting Yankees?
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: An Angel, No, I feel like we see this exactly
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: eye to eye, Like the Yankees obviously look good on paper.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: If ownership weren't a thing, if we were just drafting
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: a squad for tonight, who with all the players in
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: the field, judge would go first, and you'd want a
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: lot of Yankees.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: But ownership is a thing. They're gonna get owned.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: They're gonna be really highly owned and like single entry,
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: higher dollar type stuff. So I think they're the best
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: stack on the board on paper. For me, it's tougher
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: to get away from them than some other chockey stacks
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: because their upside here, but with expected really high ownership
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: to pinch hit risk, I think getting away from them
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: in tournaments totally makes sense.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: I don't think you have to do.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: That, because there are ways to get different within Yankee stacks,
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: you know, playing different secondary stacks with them, different pitchers, etc.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: But I think, considering their struggles against lefties, our fondness
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: for Kakuchie, other good offenses, I don't think you have
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: to play them by any means.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just playing a I'm just playing a not
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: even ownership him, I'm just playing the slate at hand.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: And I mean when you're double maybe even two and
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: a half three times as own as any other stack
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: on the slate, when we have seventeen other teams to
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: choose from, I mean I'll take a chance on being
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: under on the Yankees just in all fronts, it's just
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: not even I mean, I've made all the reasons for it.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Is Aaron Judge probably the best player on the slate,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: absolutely Stanton not far behind him, but all these other guys,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: it's just I'm worried about the pinch hit hit risk there.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: And you look at the Angels bullpen and yeah, it
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: was horrible last year. It probably regresses back to being
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: below average, but so far to start the year sitting
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: middle of the road, I mean they've only given up
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: five home runs, thirty six walks, and have sixty two strikeouts,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: so that bullpen has been better than last year for sure,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: at least to start the season there. So it's not
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: the same cupcake Angels matchup as always. I actually like
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: the Angels a decent amount here in tournaments you want
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: lefties against Will Warren, which obviously the Angels don't have
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: a lot, but Nolan Chanuell I think is a solid
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: play netto trout solaire Mancata, Josh Lowe. You got lefties
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: right in this lineup to attack Will Warren. They get
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: the exact same hitting conditions on the slate at no
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: ownership full nining in at bats against the guy in
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Will Warren, who yeah, has strike on ability, but also
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: has the tendencies at times to get blown up right,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: so especially get blown up from the lefties there. So Mancata,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Joss Low, Shanuel Frasier, those guys I think are in play.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Yankees bullpen not horrible, but not great to start the
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: year as well, So in tournaments, I think the Angels
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: are pretty interesting here, pretty sneaky in general because everyone's
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: just focused on the Yankee side of this game and
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: forgetting to realize that, hey, yeah, Angels aren't as good,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: but they have power in their own right and have
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: the exact same hitting dimensions and conditions on the slate,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: So I do think they're pretty interesting for sure in tournaments.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Marlins Braves Eerie Prez Grand Holmes two pitchers that I
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: think are a little overpriced fur their upside given relative
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: to other guys in the slate. I wouldn't fault anyone
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: for playing either of these guys. I'd lean Perez just
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: for more strikeout ability, but both of these guys have
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: tendencies get wild, so in terms of stacks, I think
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: the Braves are interesting just as a bet. If Prez
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: doesn't have it and he starts walking guys, he also
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: gets hit hard and gives up a lot of barrel rate.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I think the Braves are interesting. Ronald Lacuna Drake Baldwin's
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite plays in the entire slate. He's
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: going to be sub five percent, sub ten percent ownership,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: and he's been absolutely electric to start the year. These
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: lefties are really what you want against Perez, and the
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Braves have some good ones. So I like the Braves
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: quite a bit, and I love this lineup that they
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: rolled out. The only two righties is Acunya and Dubon Acuna,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: one of the best players in the league. Obviously, Dubon
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: would be my least favorite by far. Michael Harris being
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: back in that lineup, dom Smith is showing power. I
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: think the Braves are up there in terms of stack
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: interest for this. And you get that Marlin's bullpen behind Perez,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: who can be wild in pitch himself right out of
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: his own game right if he doesn't have his command.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: So what do you see here?
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, monster showing from the Braves last night, putting them
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: thirteen on my guardians. I respect Jeri Perez enough where
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: I don't love the Braves, but hard to ignore their
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: upside here.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: You mentioned it. They're lining up top to bottom. They're
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: kind of locked in right now.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Even Dubon, who you mentioned, is, you know, maybe the
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: worst play in the lineup.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: He's been really good to start the season.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: So if you're stacking the Braves, I wouldn't be afraid
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: to go one through nine here. All in all, I
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: think this is a spot I'm likely to just kind
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: of stay away from from all sides.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: I respect both pitchers enough, I like both offenses enough.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Where I don't love anything, I do think the Braves
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: offense looks the best of anything, though, I'm with you.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we see it pretty similar. There takes us to
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the biggest weather concern on the slate. We do have
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: some like rain and showers in to those earlier games
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: that I didn't touch on too much in the Nationals
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: in Pirates game, there's some weather concerns there, and then
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: obviously a little bit as well.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: In that Yankees game.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: The Yankees game being the least amount of concern, But
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: this is definitely the biggest concern on the slate in
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: terms of weather. It's definitely a Biggot talking point because again,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: it starts an hour after those other games start that
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I talked about where the pitching options guys like Skins
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: and Sanchez up in that Garrett Crochet price Tire are.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: If this game plays and if the weather was fine,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: I would absolutely load up on the Boss and Bats here.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: I'm more willing to play the Boston Bats than play
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Crochet in my opinion here just because if this game
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: does start and we get the in game delay, chances
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: are probably gets postponed just the way the forecast looks.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: But if it doesn't, Crochet is not going to come
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: back out. The Red Sox Bats will. Now that does
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: hurt obviously attacking Bailey Over who's the worst pitcher by
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: far on the slate in my opinion, and he probably
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: won't come back out after the delay either. However, the
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Twins bullpen's second worst to start the year. They're not
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: going to be good all year. It's gonna be humid
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota obviously with the stormfronts moving in and that,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I think the Red Sox would be up there, close
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: to the top of my board. In terms of stacks.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: I put them pretty similar to a team like the Phillies.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: It's just it's hard to see and figure out based
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: on the weather.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: But what do you see here? Twins and Red.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Sox another game we're right in line with.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: Like Crochet, he looks like the best arm on the slate.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: If whether we'ren't a concern, I'd be just playing him.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: I like Boston too, They've been good to me recently
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: played them yesterday the day before they went off in
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: the ninth inning, then carried it over yesterday. I would
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: be in on Boston, but the weather I don't know.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: So again, we got a few hour a couple hours
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: to lock as the early lock, certainly more time until
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: that game locks, but ideally I'd like to make a
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: decision prior to that, and with how it looks right now,
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: with how many the good spots there are, I'm likely
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: to just get away from this game and hope it
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: doesn't burn me.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: That includes Crochet as well. Again, I like him.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: I like Boston, but just too risky probably for me
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: to dive.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: Head over heels into. If that changes, I might change
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: my thought process there.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I will say I would uncheck all of these players.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Outside of full stacks. I would not want any mini
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: stacks or one offs from this game on either side.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: So if you're playing, go in and play it, maybe
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: even put Crochet in the lineup and just say this
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: game plays, there's no weather, they get it in and
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: you got five Red Sox and Garrett Crochet in the
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: chamber right, and you can easily do it because of
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: their salaries allow you to do so. So that's how
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: I would approach it, and I think it's fairly I
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: think it's a pretty good strategy that I'm not gonna
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: allow any mini stacks two man, one man or three
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: man stacks or anything for either side of this game.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Five man stacks only, if anything, And I like the
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I like pairing the bats up with Crochet. If you
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: do that and just say, hey, I'm gonna take the
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: risk on this portion of my portfolio. I'm gonna play Crochet.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna play the Red Sox Bats. And that's how
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna approach it. And if it gets rained out,
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: so be it. I got the other part of my portfolio.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: But in single entry three max stuff, I probably don't
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: get to Crochet or any of the Red Sox Bats
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: or or any of the twins. If you wanted to
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: get there either, and I will mention Ryan Jeffers I
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: think is an elite one off if the game plays.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, he could hit a home run off Garret
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Kushan his first at bat. The dude mashes lefties. He's
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: hitting in the cleanup spot, thirty six hundred at a
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: catcher position, at no ownership against the Chalky's pitcher on
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: the slate. If the game plays, it's there's much worse
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: place on the slate in my opinion than that, So
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: didn't want to call it. That takes us into Busch
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Stadium here gonna be super hot, not super hot, but
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: hot and humid in Uh, Saint Louis win blown out
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: at a big margin right fifteen plus the entire duration
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: of the game here, Cardinals bullpen sucks, Liberator sucks.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Uh. This is a spot where I'm buying on the Guardians.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Outside of j Ram, nobody's gonna nobody's gonna get an
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: ownership for the Guardians. I mean, I just think this
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: is a spot that I'm gonna buy on. I am
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: not a believer in Liberator. You want the righty's and
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: there's some guys like David Frye, some of these other
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: guys that have some pin chick concerns, but I'm not
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: too worried. In general. I like the Guardians a lot here.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: They're probably my favorite sneak stack on the board, given
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: their salaries, their price points, what they allow you to
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: do with the roster, and outside of j ram Like
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: I said, no one's gonna play this team, So what
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: do you see here?
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Guardians?
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: And yeah, we talked a little bit prior to the
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: slate starting with the Guards, and I could get on
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: board there. Like they didn't stand out to me at first,
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: but Levittur is certainly not a guy I'm afraid to
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: pick on. You got good hitting whether here Jose Ramirez
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: started to get going. You do have some pin hit risk,
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: but some home run up side up and down here.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: So I can get on board with Cleveland. I could
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: also get on board with Saint Louis and like large
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: field stuff, especially if Gavin Williams just starts to get
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: more ownership, he puts guys on base and you've got
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: the same.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Weather for the Cardinals side.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna stack them here in my limited lineups,
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: but if I were playing large field stuff, I'd want
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: to get a little bit of exposure there, just just
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: throwing that out there.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: No, I wrote that up to in my nuggets as
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: like four guys or three guys that you could play
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: from the Cardinals that I'd have interested in as well.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: I do expect Gavin Williams ownership to creep up heading
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: into the lock, especially if you don't get clarity of
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet. Moore's ownership is going to go right to
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Sanchez and Skiens, but some of that's gonna trickle down
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: to Gavin Williams as well.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Guys like Alec Burlson, Nolan Gorman, Weather.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Holt, Jordan Walker would be the main four guys that
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I would look at. Jordan Walker's real He's here. The
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: breakout's finally happening, or at least to start the year.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: It is when everyone thought and when he came on
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: the scene right and struggled big time. But it takes
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: these guys, right, these prospects, these younger players some time
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: to get acclimated and it's finally here for Jordan Walker.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: So Weather, Hult, Burlison, Walker, Gorman, I think are four
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: really interesting bats if you wanted to get there, and
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: then you want all the lefty or all the arties,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: mainly against Libertire, but even guys like Chase Delater, who
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: I think is real as well.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: He's not gonna see He's not going to have Liberatory
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: in there.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: The whole game, and you got a really bad bullpen
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: behind him, so then you get the lower owned guy
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: platoon advantage for the back half of the game.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: Whole match anyone too. He's definitely real. So his only
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: thing is staying healthy. But he's the best hitting prospect
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: the Guardians have had in a long time, just like
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: pure hitting people have said around here, the best hitting
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: prospects since Manny Ramirez. I don't know if I'm willing
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: to go there, but again, health is his big issue.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: He just cannot stay healthy. But when he's healthy, he's
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: been really good and excited about that kid.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a stud and it's nice to have him
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: right there with Jay ram to pack a punch in
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: that lineup. So I do think he's the real deal.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: And I don't even care left he lefty. I think
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: he's able to hit lefties, he can steal bases, he's
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: got a ton of power. Yeah, So I love the
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Guardians here tonight. They're kind of one of my flight
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: planning spots. They're going to be unowned, and they're a
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: pivot off of a team that we're going to talk
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: about here that I still like a ton in the
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: going out to face Louis Severino, who somehow finds his
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: way to just kind of skate through soft contact and
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: get it, get get through through games. But at home
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: last year Severino was atrocious in Sacramento. He was better
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: on the road, no surprise, minor league stadium there. I
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: talked about the hitting weather isn't great compared to other spots,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: and that's usually what we get right early parts of
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: this season. Typically we target these West Coast games because
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: the Midwest and the East Coast and that have been
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: terrible in terms of temperatures in that games in like
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: the thirties and low forties, where it was sixties out
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: out West Coast. That twenty degree difference makes a big
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: difference overall in terms of how the ball travels and
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: run production and this and that. It's kind of flip
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: flopped here tonight. That's why I like Eovaldi so much
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: in terms of a pitcher and just the nature of
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: the slate, the way the slate sets up Texas, though,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: I think is really really interesting here. One of the
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: top stacks on the board. They're going to be very
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: popular in like Dodgers and Yankee stacks because of their salaries,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: they allow you to play them as mini stacks. Brandon Nemo,
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: one of the better players in the slate. Corey Seger
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: is still way too damn cheap. I mean, I don't
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: know what DraftKings does. I don't know what Cory Seger
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: needs to do ever to to get priced over five k.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: You got Jock Jams who I know, our guy hamiwich
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: out there. Maybe he's listening somewhere. He he last year
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: every single time he was on the slate, he would
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: would give away one hundred dollars ticket if Jock hit.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Jock hit a home run, and every single time he didn't,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: so he didn't have to pay that help.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: But I think the Rangers are really interesting here in
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: this ballpark.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: A's bullpen's not good, Severino, I'm not a believer in him.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Get gets hit hard from especially from the left side
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: in general, but both sides in particular.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: What do you see here?
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been in on the Rangers a bunch recently.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: I like this lineup.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: I'm a little bit worried about ownership here, but that aside,
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: I think they look good, no doubt.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: They're right in that second tier group behind the Yankees
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: and Dodgers.
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: You know, if you told me, like instead of the Phillies,
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: the Rangers are your favorite stack on the board, I
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: have no arguments. They look good here. A good ballpark
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: upgrade Severino. He's talented, but not a good ballpark for him.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Obviously he really struggled there last year. So yeah, the
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: Rangers look good here. I saw someone earlier say Matt's
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: definitely got to be on the A's here. I wouldn't
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: go that far. I respect the Evaldi enough. I don't
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: love this A's lineup right now without Rooker, but I
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: will say they just swept the Mets on the road
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: as dogs in like all three games there. Now they're
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: coming back home as a dog. It's the perfect spot
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: where I like the A's from a betting perspective in
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: this game, but I don't really like them.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: From a DFS perspective.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: And I do think that the most likely outcome is
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: Texas gets to sever Reno and that's that. But as
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: we know, things often don't play out how they're so,
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: I do think this game could get weirder just because
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: of the ballpark, you know, kind of like Saint Louis.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: If I were playing one fifty, I'd have some athletics
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: in my pool.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm even content having I think Butler's at great play.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Nick Kurtz would be my favorite bat. Lang Lear's has
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: been absolutely incredible to start the year. Nobody's gonna click
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: that name, righty, righty at fifty nine hundred at a
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: catcher position when you got guys like Austin Wells, Right yeah,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: Austin Wells at twenty eight hundred in Yankee Stadium even left,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: he left you there. And there's other catchers that are
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: gonna get played on this slate. So I think Kurtz,
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: lang Lears, Soderstrom would be the three favorite, but really
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: that top four if it stays the same. Butler, Kurtz,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: lang Lears, Soderstrom, I think are all great options. You have,
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: all these not bulletproofed by any means. He's one of
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: my favorite options on the slate just with the strikeout upside.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Look at this kate per nine metrics and the a
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: strikeout a ton as you can see but I don't
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: think those high powered bats are not guys that I
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: would take out of the pool by any means. Last
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: game of the slate, Dodgers Stadium, Justin Robleski on the
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: mound reliever turned into a starter here for the Dodgers
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: out of necessity with all their injuries they have, and
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: they just kind of sleep walk through the regular season
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: anyways until they get to the postseason, and then everybody
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: has a hard enough time trying to beat their ass
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: with their payroll that they have over there in La
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Mets coming to town. David Peterson not the This is
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: what kind of scares me a little bit about the Dodgers.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the Dodgers.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: On paper, the first stop for anybody not playing the
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Yankees are the Dodgers, and I think it's it's definitely
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: there's merit to that, right. The Dodgers' offense is great,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: they can get to anybody on the slate. It's just
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: David Peterson is not the worst pitcher in the world
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: by any means. And these salaries, I mean, you want
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: the righties against Peterson, obviously, no surprise there. But Miguel Rojas,
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, Paz, Yeah, Paz has been really good. Paz
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: and Hernandez would be my two favorites. I just I
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: don't love the match up here overall for the Dodgers.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: That's why I have the Phillies ahead of them and
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: the Yankees just obviously we talked about the Yankees in
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: depth here. I think the sneaky spot here would be
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: some of these Mets against Robleski. I mean, you look
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: at Robleski last thirty days to in it starts this year,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't really keep the ball on the ground, doesn't have
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: a good strikeout stuff to either side really, and the
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Mets offense on paper should be good.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: I mean they haven't been great. I don't know. I
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: think it's fairly interesting here.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Some of these Mets guys Luis Robert, Lefty Masher, I
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: think he's great. Vientos, Lefty Masher thirty seven hundred, he's great.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Semion doesn't have a lot of power, but he rarely
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: strikes out. I think he's fine. Tyrone Taylor, my guy
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: from the Brewers, rest in peace. Him platoon guy really
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: only gets in there against lefties. He can hit a
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: home runs. What do you see Mets and Dodgers?
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: Another one we see pretty similarly. Like obviously, the Dodgers
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: look good because their lineup is elite. Anytime they're not
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: facing like a true ACE type pitcher, they're gonna be
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: one of the top stacks on the board because that's
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: how good their offense is. And Peterson is far from
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: an ace elite pitcher, so they have look good here.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: I think that I respect Peterson more than the field does,
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: so I'm a little bit lower on the Dodgers as
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: you are, but like the Yankees, their upsides real here.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: I want to like the Mets, I really do. It's
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: just tough, like their lineup without Soto leaves a lot
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: to be desired. I got no issues picking on Robleski.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: At ownership, I think the Mets and Dodgers look similar.
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure I'm gonna get there, but in tournaments
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: at really low ownership, I think the Mets have a
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: role on this slate, no doubt about it.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the finest. They're not one of my
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: favorite stacks. I mean I talked about the other teams
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: who I like. I like the Rangers. I like the
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Guardians a lot. To see the Red Sox of that
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: game plays. I have the Braves above them. I think
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: the Angels are interesting, so they're not up there, but
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked to see the Mets get there
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: in Dodger Stadium.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just I like these other games.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: I don't really like these last games much outside of
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: the Rangers in terms of offense in general, so I
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: do think the Mats says, I wouldn't be shocked to
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: see the Mets on a winning lineup at the end
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: of the day when looking at this lineup, Guys like
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Bashett Lindor Polanco, who's a switch hitter, Robert Viento's these
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: guys that all can hit left handed pitching, and I
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: don't think word Bleski's that great by any means. So yeah,
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: not the craziest take. I do want to hit on
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: this six forty. So this is going to be going
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: forward now the normal start time for MLB. The only
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: reason we did five pm Eastern times start time for
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: the MLB show is because we also ran an NBA
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: show at this time slot. So going forward the rest
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: of the MLB season, all summer everything, the live shows
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: will be at four pm Eastern time three pm Central time.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: So I didn't want to clear that up, but uh, Matt,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: to round up the show, We're gonna do it. Hell,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: we always do it.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Your favorite pitching combination, your favorite overall stack, sneaky stack,
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: and any home run call you have for the people before.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, favorite pitching combination. I'll throw weather aside because I
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: don't know what's gonna happen. I'll say, uh, Crochet and.
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: Gavin, and then for stacks, uh, we'll say I'll ride
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: with you on Philly. I think all those teams look
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: good here. So the Phillies, you know, right in that
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: second tier behind the most obvious Yankees.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: And Dodgers, So we'll ride there. Low owned. Let's go
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: with the Mets, who we just talked about. I like it.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Gavin Williams and Nathan Eovaldi. I like
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: those two quite a bit here in terms of my
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: favorite stacks on the slates. I'm gonna have the Guardians
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: up there. I like the Guards a ton and the
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Phillies obviously, so those two teams are what I'm looking at.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Home run call for the people I'm going to go.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Didn't have one ready off the top of my head,
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go to h I'm gonna go back
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: to the Phillies. I'm gonna go Brandon Marsh thirty four hundred,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: hitting fifth, my favorite offense on the slate. Good hitting
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: conditions there for those, especially for those lefties up there
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: in Philly. I think Brandon Marsh goes deep and then
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: kind of more of a contrariant.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Actually, I'm not even gonna give it.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: I was gonna give Ryan Jeffers, but I'm not sure
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: what that weather is gonna look like there, and uh,
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: if Crochet is even gonna make it, make it longer
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: than a couple of innings, if any if, if that
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: game doesn't play there, so I'll leave it at I'll
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: leave it at Brandon Marsh for the people. Appreciate everyone
