Fall system's going clear the left. What is going on ship a Nation YouTube
0:38
station Memorial Day edition here Monday. We got a kind of a wonky slate
0:45
going on here. We're gonna do our best to break it down. It's
0:48
gonna be more fandom focused today with Vando of main slate locking in a couple
0:53
hours here to two hours and fifteen minutes give or take locks at three ten
0:58
Central Standard time here. DraftKings already did locked. The only game going right
1:03
now is that Baltimore game. Next game is about to have the first pitch
1:07
here shortly with the Twins there, Twins in the Royals and then the Blue
1:11
Jays in the White Sox. There is some weather to monitor in that Twins
1:15
game, so keep an eye on that. Kevin and Ross's latest update on
1:19
that one is kind of yellow orange, so there is definitely some concern in
1:23
that game. But we are gonna be focusing on the FANDUO main slate here.
1:29
We'll talk about that late game a little bit, as DraftKings does have
1:32
some nice price pools for that two game night slate tonight that does include that
1:36
Houston game. Off the top Handwich, I do want to let the people
1:38
know in the chat that Dodgers in Mets game is postponed. So if you
1:42
do have lineups going right now on DraftKings, make sure you have no players
1:46
from that Dodgers Mets game. No pictures, no Gavin Stone under that,
1:49
no show hey Withsani, get them out of your lineup because they will not
1:53
accrue Fantasy points there. But Handwich, I'll bring you in man, Happy
1:57
Monday, Happy Memorial Day. That was your holiday weekend? Man, what's
2:00
going on? Brother? Yeah? No happy Memorial Day yet, good weekend.
2:07
You and I crush it on Friday night for anybody that was listening to
2:09
the show. We could talk about that here in a minute. Just saw
2:13
the news that Bill Walton passed away rip to that great not only player,
2:19
but a good character. But it was a good weekend overall. We crushed
2:22
it over here at the nation. My got Tambo absolutely dominating in the Gulf
2:25
streets. We're crushing in the baseball streets. It's a great time to be
2:29
a part of the nation. And look there you go. Yeah, Tambo
2:36
had himself a nice, nice little weekend there in the PGA contest, obviously
2:40
taking some screenshots of our content right in the discord there Lee Aldrich guy does
2:46
our course fit rankings and our value report there and you see in the top
2:50
right our course fit rankings right there mister Davis Riley ranking number one, and
2:53
I think he won by what five strokes at fifty eight hundred. It's pretty
2:59
tough to to ship a tournament in the PGA streets when you have a guy
3:02
that's sub six k that wins the tournament outright, So course fit rankings,
3:08
all the core plays and the knowledge in the discord. We still have PGA
3:13
full swing going on. We have NASCAR going on full swing. It was
3:16
just the Coca Cola six hundred. I had myself a nice little weekend there,
3:22
a nice little Sunday despite the early finish in the NASCAR streets. We
3:25
got you covered over there. We got you covered in all sports including MLB.
3:30
Right now, it is a little slower time of the year, obviously
3:34
as NBA winds down, NHL winds down, but shortly after NFL what everybody
3:38
loves right now, you can get in over at the Nation monthly MLGB package
3:43
for just over one dollar a day. That'll get you through the summer.
3:46
Get you some MLB content seven days a week, get you in there,
3:51
make you competitive, hopefully ship a couple of tournaments are there leading into the
3:54
NFL, and then hey, NFL rolls around. You want to upgrade to
3:57
all Access pass? Pretty hassle free to upgrade? You can message us in
4:00
the discord. We can upgrade that package to all access there and get you
4:04
access to all of that. But how much Let's go ahead and jump right
4:09
in on this Monday, gonna talk FanDuel. Like I said, we're gonna
4:13
start pitching and Michael King all the way up at the top facing those Miami
4:16
Marlins. This game is not on the Draftking slate, so do be worried
4:21
of that. Obviously, DraftKings did already lock their main slate. They split
4:25
the slate up differently than FANDO did. So today nature of the Beast on
4:28
this holiday, we're gonna focus on fandos. So we're gonna go it came
4:30
above pitching. We're gonna go Lance Land, Taiwan Walker, Nicolodolo, Charlie
4:35
mort and Michael King there. Michael King definitely gonna be super super high owned
4:40
on FANDO in particular, I mean upwards a fifty percent ownership. I'm assuming
4:44
here gets a nice matchup at home in a pitcher's ballpark against the fish out
4:47
of the water. Here break down his top tier range for me and then
4:51
any what are you kind of looking at in terms of pivots off of King
4:56
and Morton, the two high Stone guys right now. Yeah, just started
5:00
at the top of me, because really there's only going to be four pitchers
5:02
up in this range. You got Gavin Stone who's not not not obviously eligible
5:06
with the rainout, Michael King is going to be popular, striking out thirty
5:10
percent of right handed batters and rightfully so he's got a good picture's ballpark to
5:15
deal with. Is this Marlin? Yeah, this Marlin's lineup is not out
5:19
yet, but it looks like they're going to trot out five ritis in the
5:23
projected lineup. That's just not a recipe for success with him. A team
5:27
that already struggles. Uh, you know they traded away arise about you know,
5:31
playing against the Padres today, playing against the you know, his former
5:34
team. But Michael King very good pitcher in this in this slate, small
5:39
slate, So Michael King is definitely gonna be up there. Charlie Morton,
5:43
Charlie Morton's gonna be popular when we talk about it all the time. I
5:46
feel like Nad's uh, they get Lane Thomas back today, but they just
5:49
don't strike out a whole whole ton. So uh, Uncle Charlie did good
5:53
his last time out. I forget who was playing against, but he did
5:56
had a very good outing his last doubting. My favorite pitch sure on this
6:00
slate is gonna be Nick Lodolo. I just love the strikeout upside that he
6:04
has. Now, this Cardinals team doesn't strike out too terribly much against uh,
6:10
left handed pitching from what I'm looking at, especially over the last fourteen
6:13
days. But this Lodolo kid has got filthy stuff. He's got the best
6:16
strikeout stuff in my opinion on this slate when you're when you're ranking, these
6:21
guys got a swinging, swinging strike percentage against right handed batters at eighteen percent.
6:29
Cardinals are trotting out. I saw it earlier, but let me just
6:31
confirm how many writings are they trotting out. It looks like they're trotting out
6:35
six rightings. So Nick Loodolo would be my favorite of those three I just
6:40
mentioned. And finally, Tywan Walker, I think he's in play over on
6:44
FanDuel. Uh you know one picture site. This Giants teams a little been
6:46
a little bit better. They're not gonna you know, you know, scare
6:49
you too much. But Tilin Walker would be number four for me in that
6:53
range that I'm completely out on lance Land. I read your slate plan.
6:58
I agree with what you said. I just can't do Lanceln. I like
7:00
the Reds more than Lanceln. Yeah. No, excellent breakdown there. I
7:04
agree with you. If I were to play on fando here tonight, it'd
7:08
be Michael King for me. I'm okay eating that chalk. There's enough ways
7:11
to get different in bats. I just like the match up a ton If
7:13
I were not to play him, I would definitely probably play a Taiwan Walker
7:18
up at the top tier if I had to pick a guy. But realistically,
7:20
I just dropped down to some other guys that I'm going to talk about
7:24
there, flipping it over the DraftKings. Obviously, these games have not locked
7:28
yet that we're talking about for the DraftKings slates realistically, right only the three
7:32
games locked the Toronto game, Kansas City Minnesota game, and then that Boston
7:38
Baltimore game. Realistically, the only pitchers in those two early games that excuse
7:44
me, A lot of people are going to be playing is going to be
7:45
Joe Ryan and Chris Bassett. So those two guys in terms of the DraftKings
7:49
pricing, Nicolodolo, that's set ninety eight hundred on DraftKings, I just can't
7:54
get up there. I mean, if I were to spend up there,
7:55
i'd get up to Joe Ryan or drop down play a Chris Bassett or Charlie
8:01
Morton. Charlie Morton, especially on DraftKings, is gonna be probably forty plus
8:05
percent ownership here Mega Chalk against these nationals, and it's just not a spot
8:09
that I like to play, right. I like Chris Bassett a lot more,
8:11
ADI slimmer price point, and I like some of these cheaper guys that
8:13
we're gonna talk about here shortly. So for me up at the top tier
8:18
in terms of DraftKings, it was really Joe Ryan and Chris Bassett is all
8:22
I'd be interesting and flipping it back over to Fando here outside of like I
8:28
said, outside of our guy up at the top, Michael King, I
8:33
really have no interest in any of these guys over eight k not gonna play
8:35
Lance Lynn. I did write a Lancelin up on DraftKings just due to the
8:39
seventy two hundred price point. I said, you can play both sides of
8:43
that game. Pitching overall is pretty gross, so that's why Lance Lane made
8:46
the pool there. But I actually ended up stacking against lanceln in my main
8:50
team with the Reds. We'll talk about the Reds bats here in a little
8:54
bit, so pretty much anything over eight K on FanDuel it's Michael King for
8:58
me, and then on dec pretty much more of the same. Like I
9:01
just gave you my synopsis there, let's touch on some of these guys below
9:05
eight games eight K in terms of FANDU of pricing. Number one, Justin
9:11
Steel gets a matchup in Milwaukee against this Brewers team who actually does struggle against
9:16
lefty left handed pitchers. Right They have a lot of lefties in that line
9:20
up, a lot of young kids. They usually have a splits advantage,
9:22
but not when you throw lefty out on the hill. So Justin Steele,
9:26
I definitely have a decent amount of interest in him, especially on FANDO at
9:28
seventy seven hundred. Really like him a lot at seven K on DraftKings.
9:33
Robert Gasser, who's been pitching good, but I think is kind of due
9:37
for some regression. He's at seventy five hundred, Blake Snell on FANDUA is
9:41
going to pick up a decent chunk of ownership. Pitchers ballpark at home against
9:45
this Phillies team who you've picked on all season long, and outside of their
9:50
home ballpark there on the road, they're striking out about twenty seven percent against
9:54
left handed pitching on the road this season. So touch on that, and
9:58
then any of these other cheap guys park any Trevor Rodgers, any of those
10:01
guys down at the bottom. Yeah. Really for me, it's uh and
10:05
I really like him today. Robert Gasser, the Brewers great. I wish
10:09
Nwans was in the chat, he says. I never give any love to
10:13
the you know, to Milwaukee, to all my fellow Wisconsin friends up there.
10:18
But man, Robert Gasser, to me, is a great play today,
10:20
especially on DraftKings where it's a two pitcher site. Just look at what
10:24
the Cubs have done over the last fourteen days versus right left handed pitching.
10:28
Zero home runs, one stolen base, three doubles, four four runs point
10:35
zero two to one ISO and that's in one hundred and fifty played appearances.
10:39
Robert Gasser, I really like him tonight. I think you know, you
10:43
said you think he's gonna regress. I think he may regress, but it's
10:46
not gonna be tonight. I like Robert Gasser, especially on DraftKings. I
10:48
don't mind him on FanDuel as well. One picture site. You're gonna get
10:52
extremely different. No one's gonna play him, but he would be my favorite
10:56
of the bunch down here and then Yeah, Blake Snell I think is fine.
11:01
I mean the Phillies actually, you know, I have picked on them.
11:03
I feel like they don't do very well. You know, crap I
11:07
played Trevor Rodgers against the Philadelphia Phillies, so I think I'm gonna take you
11:11
know, mixer, Cy Young himself, Blake Snell. But the Phillies have
11:13
done a lot better, especially for the last fourteen days versus Lefties. Blake
11:18
Snell's fine, But for me, it's Robert Gasser down in this range than
11:22
all the big boys up top. Yeah, it's kind of crazy you come
11:24
on here and slander these Phillies. It seems like every show and they're at
11:28
there, they're off to the best starting franchise history over here, leading the
11:31
UH, leading the league there in record and run differential, everything like that,
11:35
all categories. But it's kind of interesting slate right Obviously, when we
11:39
were breaking it down from a DFS perspective, right, wins could mean two
11:43
to one, one to zero type stuff that doesn't typically bode too well for
11:46
fantasy production. But for me, down't here. Justine Steel is gonna be
11:50
my sp one below eight K on FanDuel. I really like him a ton
11:54
at seven K on DK as well. I think Robert Gasser is fine.
11:58
I just like the Cubs. That's a little bit more against Gasser here on
12:01
this slate, guaranteed nin thing at bats, decent hitting park there in Milwaukee,
12:07
and I think Gasser's been flirting with some recipes for his success. I
12:11
mean, he's still sub fifteen percent strikeout rate over the course of the season
12:15
here at home, So I do don't mind him at seventy five hundred.
12:18
I'd rather just get up two hundred dollars and go to Justice Steele on FanDuel
12:22
and then on DK. Justice Steel is gonna be higher on but I'm not
12:26
too worried about that either. So Justine Steele my favorite guy, Blake Snell
12:30
down at the bottom. I think he's fine but realistic. I'm that Blake
12:33
Snell guy, and I'm FanDuel. I would be looking to Michael King,
12:37
Justin Steele, and then probably Lodolo if you needed another guy just with a
12:41
high upside arm. He's gonna throw his pitches. He's got a big arm
12:45
there. Cardinals have been struggling all season long, so and I like the
12:48
Reds bats behind him, So I'm Fandue. It's pretty much those three pitchers
12:52
that I'm focusing on, and then DraftKings. I already gave the breakdown there,
12:56
really like Justice Steele, a ton On, Jiraftking. Go ahead and
13:01
rank your top pitchers here before we go game by game. I'm gonna go
13:05
Lodolo one, Michael King two, Charlie Morton three. Then I'm gonna put
13:09
Robert Gasser four for me on tonight's slate. Yeah. No, excellent,
13:13
excellent breakdown there. I'm going Michael King one, Steal number two, and
13:18
then I'll go Nick the Nadolo number three. I'm just gonna I'm fading the
13:22
Charlie Morton chalk here tonight. I'm just doing it I'm not gonna pick on
13:24
the Nationals team, right Lane Thomas is back in there. Cj Abrams my
13:28
boys in there. This team just doesn't strike out a ton. Charlie Morton
13:31
just has not have a ton of strikeout stuff this season, right, sub
13:35
twenty percent on the year against the team like the Nationals that just don't strike
13:39
out. They put the ball in play, they can steal bases. So
13:41
I'm fading the Charlie Morton talk. I kind of ate the basket chalk on
13:45
on DK, so I gotta get different elsewhere. So for me, it's
13:48
King, it's Justin Steele, my really preferred guys. And then Lodolo is
13:52
kind of a tournament upside arm that can match the stealing of a King or
13:56
a Morton on Fandle is kind of where I'm looking. Let's go game by
14:01
game. First game on Slate is that Dodgers Mets game that is postponed due
14:03
to weather. So we're actually gonna jump over and we're gonna hit. This
14:09
game is on DK, So both these guys, let's break it down both
14:11
ways. Right. This game does start at three ten four PM or four
14:15
to ten Eastern time is included on the dk slate and the Fanduels slate.
14:18
Here it's the Chicago Cubs, it's the Milwaukee Brewers. In Milwaukee gas are
14:22
on the hill. Justin Steele on the hill in terms of both. The
14:26
Brewers lineup is confirmed about a twenty four percent strike up right against left handed
14:30
pitching over the course of this year at home. I don't think some of
14:33
these Brewers are crazy plays, right, But for me, I'm on team
14:37
Justin Steele. And then I like these Cubs bats a little bit against Robert
14:41
Gasser, really like Danzy Swanson as a value bat there. See, Suzuki
14:45
has pretty good numbers. The Cubs numbers overall is great or don't look great
14:50
over the course of the season against left handed pitching on the road this season.
14:54
But again, Robert Gasser, I'm just more stacking this team up as
14:56
a very contrarian, low owned stack on both. It's in my opinion here
15:01
guaranteed anything of bats against a pitcher that strikes out less than fifteen percent of
15:05
batter. So that's kind of the reason for the Cubs just a low on
15:07
offense tournament play there. Definitely like a lot other offenses more, but I'll
15:13
throw it over to you how much any interest in this game? On FanDuel,
15:16
it would be one offs for me, one off for the Cubs would
15:18
be patched with wisdom first base, third base eligible. And then I really
15:24
like William Contreras tonight's betting leadoff taking on Justin Steele. Here will he will
15:31
pound Justin Steele this evening. William Contrera is my favorite brewer. Yeah,
15:37
William Contrere's hits left, he's good right, Gary Sanchez, Joey Ortiz,
15:39
Willie Domas. They do have some lefty good hitters in there. It's just
15:43
Justine Steele limits hard contact for me, has decent strikeout stuff. I just
15:48
think he can navigate the lineup enough, so I like other offenses more prefer
15:52
the Cubs in this one. Let's jump to the next game that we definitely
15:54
have to spend some time on. It is on both slates here, it
15:58
is in coors Field, high implied run total on the slate, Curry on
16:02
the mound, Anthony Molina opening for the Rockies instead of Gomber, not gonna
16:07
shure. I'm not sure if Gomber's coming in after that or if it's the
16:10
bullpen. Either way, it's the worst bullpen in baseball in Coors Field against
16:14
a team that just doesn't strike out, put the ball in play. Got
16:17
to talk in these Guardians. I expect them to be heavy chalking bull sites
16:19
here. I like them a ton, really like Tyler Freeman, really like
16:22
Jose Ramirez. Stack him up anyway. David Fries has been having a great
16:26
year. Josh Naylor, Will Brennan as a little cheap value guy in the
16:30
back half of that lineup. Talk to me Guardians and the Rockies any interest
16:33
here? Yeah, Guardians running that nine game winning streak. They've been rocking
16:37
and rolling. Obviously, let's start with the easy stuff first. Absolutely no
16:41
Colorado Rockies for me. Not so much because Curry is just a shutdown bitcher.
16:47
But best best bullpen in the majors. You talk about the Rockies having
16:51
the worst, the Guardians have the best. So I'm just not going to
16:55
the Rockies. If Curry struggles, they'll bring in some guys to shut them
16:57
down. And yeah, this Anthony Will Lena cat should go an inning,
17:00
you know, maybe two, possibly three, depending how how he's doing.
17:04
But man, these these Indians are Guardians, sorry, are gonna be very
17:07
popular, and rightfully so. I think, uh, you know, really
17:11
just looking up the lineup, I mean you can go one through nine.
17:15
Uh you know, like you just said, Nate's, You're gonna have to
17:18
get different with the Guardians. Ramirez obviously pops as he always does. Uh.
17:22
Manzarro I kind of like Manzarro. I think he's a rookie struggle a
17:26
little bit, but I think he could come on and he's got a great
17:27
price. But yeah, Guardian's gonna be my favorite stack, gonna be the
17:32
most popular stack, having almost five and a half imploied run total. Yeah,
17:36
but give me them and then no Rockies for me. Yeah, no,
17:40
excellent breakdown there. I'm with you Guardians once or nine my two favorite
17:44
Ramirez, Tyler Freeman and then on the Rockies. Did want to call up
17:48
Tovar on short stop just sp beacause on DraftKings if people didn't spend up to
17:52
Gunner Henderson or Elie day La Cruz, I think the next de facto guy
17:56
is Tovar on DraftKings. So in terms of DraftKings lineups, obviously that's like
18:00
did lock right? Gunner Henderson was the first game off the off the bat
18:06
there, Ellie day La Cruz locks with these this locking time as well with
18:10
the remainder of these games we're going to talk about. So Tovar at forty
18:14
six hundred batton second here tonight, I do think he gets a decent amount
18:17
of ownership on DraftKings just due to position eligibility there. I don't mind some
18:22
of these Rockies. It's just not a spot. I typically don't like stacking
18:26
the Rockies. I just haven't done it, even though they are in coors
18:30
Field. I just typically always stack the away team. Usually if I'm going
18:33
to coors Field, that is the chalkier route. But I like these Guardians.
18:37
They're playing good baseball right now, guaranteed night think and bats against a
18:40
bad bullpen. Behind this Molina guy Freeman Ramirez is where I'm going. Tovar,
18:45
I think is fine on DK just if you can't get up the two
18:48
thousand or fifteen hundred extra dollars to get up to Ellie Day La Cruz,
18:52
who I love tonight, or if you didn't play Henderson, I think you
18:56
can go there. But not stacking the Rockies personally for me on either site
19:00
here, Let's jump to the next game here Saint Louis and Cincinnati. This
19:06
is my favorite stack of the board. Great Americans, small park here.
19:08
I haven't looked at the weather, but I think that's about fifteen mile an
19:11
hour winds blown out the left field. I haven't looked at the tempts,
19:15
but I do assume that it's pretty warm there in Cincinnati. T Yeah,
19:19
temperatures in the upper eighties. Fifteen mile an hour wins blown out to left
19:22
field. I love these Reds here tonight. The Reds are my favorite stack
19:26
of the evening against Lanceland, who I do think on DK in particular at
19:32
seventy two hundred picks up some ownership just due to the nature of the pitching
19:34
slate over there. Talk talk to me in terms of FanDuel and DraftKings.
19:40
Where are you going for these Reds? Candelario's back in that lineup. Now,
19:42
they got some cheap bats throughout this line up, especially on FANDU.
19:45
I mean, I expect this to be a very high on team over on
19:49
FanDuel. I mean, look at the back half their lineup. Thirty three
19:52
hundred, twenty seven hundred, twenty seven hundred, twenty five, twenty nine
19:56
hundred, all hundred three k basically for a majority of this lineup. Only
19:59
two hitters over thirty three hundred in this lineup, So talk to me on
20:03
the Rads and then he Cardinals. I don't think you have any interest in
20:06
the Cardinals against Lodolo, but maybe I'm wrong here. Yeah, let me
20:11
just yeah, yeah, you made a great, great point, because Lodolo
20:14
I do love him, but if you wanted to get very different, I
20:18
do think a Cardinals stack, especially of the top five guys, I think
20:22
that's employee or at least the many. I'm not gonna personally do it because
20:26
I do like Lodolo, but these Cardinals have been hitting left hand and pitching
20:30
very well, especially over the last fourteen days, so I don't think it's
20:32
the craziest thing in the world to stack these Cardinals. Once again, I'm
20:36
not gonna do it, but yeah, you know, you can never go
20:37
wrong with Goldie Aaronato to you know, too, right handed masterers historically,
20:44
so I don't think that's out of the equation. But and I would agree
20:47
with you on the flip side. The Rads my second favorite stack over there
20:51
on Fandel right behind the Guardians, my favorite Red and I hate it that
20:55
he's batting down here, but he's going to be unown. It's going to
20:56
be Will Benson thirty six hundred, DK twenty nine hundred on FanDuel. He's
21:02
my favorite Red I love love Jake Frailey as well. He's got power,
21:06
he stills bases, So yeah, you're gonna need to get different with those
21:08
guys. But Benson number one. Frehley would be my second favorite. Then
21:12
obviously Ellie in there as well, So yeah, give me these Red Reds
21:17
going up against the Red Birds tonight. Yeah, give me all the lefties
21:22
on Cincinnati. I don't care if Hamlich was out there baton from the left
21:25
side of the play. Lance Land is just absolutely atrocious against lefties. Some
21:29
twenty percent strike all rate, power through the roof, tons of hard hits,
21:33
tons of fly balls, and you got a lot of lefties that smashed
21:36
the baseball in here. Jacob hurtbis Her two bis I think is how you
21:40
pronounce it. If not, that's how I pronounce it, and that's the
21:42
way we're gonna roll with. I expect him to be pretty popular on DraftKings
21:45
at twenty five hundred, even on FanDuel at his price, I expect him
21:48
to be pretty popular. Banton lead off here twenty five hundred on both sides.
21:52
Ellie d La Cruez my favorite player in the entire slate, Candelario there,
21:56
Jake Frayley's in the line up. Nick Martini will, like I said,
22:00
I'm starting with all the lefties first, mix and Matchum, you can
22:03
build a nice rap round stack there, a Martini, Benson Jacob up at
22:07
the top, day La Cruz and then a candel Aarrio do like a seven
22:11
to nine, one two three is a nice way to go there. And
22:15
in the righties, obviously you can always play them guys Spencer Steer Tyler Stevenson
22:18
has been hitting the baseball well one through nine for me, firmly in play
22:22
against the Reds. Lanceland is just not any good against lefties. So that's
22:25
why I'm starting there on the Cardinals side. Really two bats only that I
22:29
have interest in, just looking at the numbers over the last thirty days against
22:32
left tanned pitching, Mason Win another short stop play. If you need another
22:36
short stop play you can't afford all the way up. He'd be my favorite
22:38
kind of value shortstop at thirty two hundred beat leadoff, guaranteed nine in at
22:41
bats. Definitely good, he can steal some bases. And then Alec Burlson
22:45
actually hits lefties, pretty decent lefty lefty. He's got really good numbers over
22:48
the course of the season lefty lefty. So really just the one two guys
22:52
for me. Obviously, you could play Goldsmith, you can play Arnatto,
22:56
but I just like other offenses more so, I'm not going to get to
22:59
the Cardinals. Really, I believe in the talent and the arm On Lodolo.
23:03
Just be those two guys at the top for me. Jump to the
23:07
next game here, and we got to talk about the Braves. The Braves
23:11
at home, massive implied run total here at home against pretty weak lefty in
23:17
terms of overall right sub seventeen percent strikeout right on the road this season,
23:22
limits hard contact, but again it's the Braves against the lefty there and Sean
23:26
Murphy in that lineup now Austin Riley Banns second, some historic lefty mashers in
23:33
this Braves lineup. Sean Murphy is definitely one to note. Thirty five hundred
23:37
hitting fifth here tonight. He's back in that lineup. Rip Toronto Lacuna tearing
23:41
his acl man sucks to see that, right and an incredible talent there,
23:47
incredible player. Hopefully he heals up. He's gonna miss the remainder of this
23:49
season, but hopefully he comes back bigger and stronger next year. So definitely
23:53
a blow to the Braves. But you lose a guy like that that's sixty
23:56
six hundred, sixty five hundred, it's easier to back. Talk to me
24:00
on these Braves, talk to me on these Nationals. I think the Nationals
24:03
are kind of interesting against the Chalk and Charlie Morton, but definitely not not
24:08
one of my course stacks by any means. Yeah, for sure. I
24:11
mean yeah, I saw Ronald yesterday. I cored Ronald yesterday, leadoff double.
24:17
I'm just you know, man, it's gonna be a great day for
24:19
ron and then that happens was just obviously terrible to see. Get will soon
24:22
ron second time? I think in two or three years that he's torn a
24:26
different aco. But in any events of new look Braves, right, you
24:30
get uh, I'm drawing the guy, the guy that's coming back to now,
24:34
you get him back, you get Austin Riley back. It's a new
24:37
look Braves team got Alsie Alby's bat and lead out. They're gonna be popular
24:41
as well against this Mitchell Parker character that they're going up against. So yeah,
24:45
uh, definitely have some interest in the Braves. It would be more
24:48
Minis for me tonight Austin Rally, the return of Austin Rally going up against
24:53
a lefty, you gotta like that. And then some of the guys in
24:56
the bottom half of the lineup Duvall who had a bomb yesterday. Don't mind
25:00
him, but yeah, give me some of those braves. And then on
25:03
the Gnat side, they're a pesky bunch. And and like you said,
25:07
you get Lane Thomas back, you got CJ. Abrams, who obviously is
25:11
a good player. I think Mini is okay, I won't be personally doing
25:17
doing. He got Eddie Rizzario taking on his former team. I don't think
25:18
it's the craziest play in the world. Needs to take some of those gnats,
25:22
especially, like you said, against the chalky Charlie Morton. I sortaly
25:26
don't hate it. On a small slate, yeah, I mean, it's
25:27
eighty five degrees in Truest Park. They're in Atlanta with Wins kind of blowing
25:32
from right to left, a little bit kind of out to left field,
25:36
left field pole left fall pole line kind of thing is what I'm seeing at
25:40
about ten miles an hour or so, So a little bit of boost there
25:42
for weather as well. Braves on FanDuel are my top stack. I will
25:48
note that right now at the prices on FanDuel, I think this is just
25:51
way too cheap. I mean, thirty five hundred, thirty one hundred,
25:53
the only one bet in Marcelo's you know, over four k. I think
25:57
this is just ridiculous. Duvall at twenty eight hundred probably my favorite bat of
26:03
the slate on FANDO at two point eight k. Pair him with Sean Murphy.
26:06
Nobody plays catchers ever on FANDUL, just because obviously you get a catcher
26:10
first base and a util spot, so most people are playing first base there
26:14
in that catcher first base spot. To play two of them, like a
26:18
Matt Olson, right, like a Sean Murphy, that's contrarian in itself because
26:22
you have to burn up your utility spot there. Braves my top stack of
26:25
the board on FANDUAL in particular. Definitely like them on DK, but a
26:29
little bit less on DK just to to their salaries, right, They're a
26:30
lot more expensive on DK to stack up. Besides the back half of that
26:34
lineup, right, Sean Murphy I think is great on both sites. Adam
26:37
Duvall is great on both sites. I think that's a really nice ministack there.
26:40
Thirty five hundred thirty three hundred on DK fields a catcher position in an
26:45
outfields spot. I like that back half of that lineup in general, but
26:48
I really like them on FanDuel a ton in terms of the Nationals. Not
26:53
a team that I really want to stack a ton. Luis Garcia Eddie Rosario
26:59
would be the two guys that I have a lot of interest in, and
27:02
then Jesse Winker pretty much just those three bats, mainly picking off two of
27:06
those three just to target the just to target the ownership. On Charlie Morton,
27:11
he struggles a little bit to with some control to left handed batters as
27:15
well a little bit its power as well, So realistically, just some lefties
27:22
against Charlie Morton, those three would be my preferred guys. Not gonna full
27:26
five man sec these Nationals. Here tonight, let's jump that covers the DK
27:30
slate. We got two games left to talk about here that do encompass the
27:34
FanDuel main slate. Here. First game on it, Phillies and the Giants.
27:40
This game is again on not on DraftKings main slate or the afternoon slate.
27:45
I think this game might be like on the Turbo or something or after
27:47
I haven't, I haven't looked, but it's not on the night slate either.
27:49
The next two games are on the night slate for DraftKings. So kind
27:52
of a loan ball game here. It is important for FanDuel. I want
27:56
to throw it over to you, Phillies and the Giants. Not a great
27:59
hitters park, two decent pitchers. If I were to pick a side,
28:02
it definitely be the Giants against Taiwan. Walker. Talk to me, Phillies
28:06
and the Giants here, Yeah, this was a calls off for me.
28:10
Need's yeah, this ballpark just stop playing it. I don't. I can't
28:15
think of a night where the winner had either a Giant or the Giants opponent
28:21
in their line. And it's just not a park that that's that you're gonna
28:25
win that often. I'm gonna continue that trend to night first game out of
28:27
course field. We always talk about it, not not playing that game and
28:30
then not taking the Giants, who you know, struggled to score runs.
28:34
I feel like against the Mets only score three yesterday, Yeah, cross off
28:38
game for me. Yeah. When we have great American small park on the
28:41
slate, we have the Brewers Stadium, which is a decent hitting park,
28:45
and we have Coors Field, there's just no reason to get here for bats
28:48
for me. So I have no interest really in this game. I'd have
28:52
more interest in Blakes now just due to Phillies coming out of coors Field,
28:56
right, But outside of that, realistically, no interest in terms of bat
29:00
Another great not a decent, uh, not a very good hitters park here,
29:04
more of a pitcher's park here in San Diego. Michael King on the
29:07
My milnd Trevor Rodgers, Your boy, Trevor Rodgers. You got a thing
29:11
for Trevor Rodgers that seems all season long, every time we come on the
29:14
show. You're mentioning Trevor Rodgers, playing him against the Dodgers, playing him
29:17
against the freaking Braves. I mean, you name it, playing him against
29:21
the NL All Star team, right or the ALE All Star team. You're
29:23
gonna put it doesn't matter, Trevor Rodgers. It comes out of hand with
29:26
his mouth here, so and which I'll throw it over to you, man,
29:29
any interest in any of these Marlins against Michael king Who's gonna be the
29:33
mega mega mega chalk on FanDuel. For me, it's a no. But
29:37
maybe you pull a Jake Berger, Maybe put pull a pull Ajesus Sanchez,
29:41
something like that. And then any of these Padres against your boy, you're
29:45
beloved, Trevor Rodgers here, Oh, good old t Rodge. Last time
29:51
I touted t Rodger, he gave up like seventeen earned runs in the first
29:53
inning. I feel like against those fighting feelds. But hey, I think
29:57
these Padres are a sneaky stack. I mean, no one's gonna play him.
30:00
And you obviously got some big uh, some big boppers over there in
30:06
Tatis, Machado, Hi, don Kim crona Worth, you know, a
30:11
Rise taking on his former team. I don't think they're the worst stack.
30:15
I mean it's more Minis for me, Mentatis leading the way. And then
30:18
yeah, Michael Kingham, he's gonna be chalk. But you said it in
30:22
the opening as well. I'm willing to eat that chalk. This Marlin's team
30:26
just doesn't strike fear. Uh does it strike fear in me? And instead
30:30
of whopping two home runs in the last one hundred and forty played appearances,
30:33
So yeah, not very good. Give me Michael King, no Marlins for
30:37
me, and I'm okay with some Padres Minis. Yeah, I think padres
30:41
are are decent, but realistically, looking at the numbers over left against left
30:45
handed pitching on the season, really Manny Machado and Profar are the only guys
30:51
hot on Kim a little bit. But outside of those guys, pro Far,
30:53
Machado, and Kim really no interest in these Padres. They just struggled
30:57
against lefties as well. They get a pretty bad lefty overall here in Trevor
31:00
Rodgers. But again, I just like the other ballparks better. I'm a
31:03
huge ballpark guy, huge weather guy in mlbdfs. It's been working for me
31:08
all season, so I'm not going to change it here. Long way of
31:11
saying, no interest in these later two games on the fan duel in terms
31:17
of bats, which makes makes me like it even a little bit more right
31:21
because I really like those other spots we talked about that are on the DraftKings
31:25
slate as well. How much one last game on the slate, this game
31:27
is included on the DK Night slate with that Miami San Diego game. There
31:33
is some pretty good prizes on DraftKings for that night two gamer with the my
31:37
Islands and the Padres, and then this last game Astros and the Mariners.
31:41
Both these parks are pretty bad overall in terms of the nature of the two
31:44
game slate, being in San Diego and being in Seattle. Bryce Miller on
31:48
the hill, fran Ber Valdez on the hill for the Astros. Any interest
31:52
in any Mariners and any Astros bats for you in terms of that two game
31:57
slate, Yeah, I think the I only have interest in one one team
32:02
and that would be the Astros. Astros have been piping red hot, so
32:08
yeah, give me some of these Astros taking on this uh, this Mariners
32:13
ball club certainly don't mind them. Kyle Tucker can play him, Jordan Alvareze,
32:17
Jake Myers, I'll throw the name Jake Myers out there. Really like
32:22
Jake Myers tonight in this contest against Seattle and uh and Bryce Miller. Yeah,
32:30
I'm yeah, I'm with you. I like these Astras a ton here.
32:32
My favorite stack of the two games slate mainly the lefties looking at Bryce
32:37
Miller for the last thirty days sub twenty percent strike all rate, two left
32:39
handed batters almost a three hundred opposing IO. And guess what, you have
32:44
two of the best lefty hitters in all of baseball. And Kyle Tucker,
32:47
Jordan Alvarez and then Mike Boy John Singleton, Arne Price point first base.
32:52
There he's been smashing the baseball, especially over the last thirty days, some
32:57
fifteen percent strike all rate ISO of two point fifty. I mean looking at
33:01
Bryce Miller's numbers over the last thirty days, tons of power, tons of
33:06
fly balls, almost a forty one percent fly ball rate to left handed hitters.
33:08
Give me these lefties in this lineup. If another left he cracks it,
33:13
I really like them. Stack around them with a Bregman with a Painya
33:17
with a Jake Myers, really really like Alvarez, Kyle Tucker, and Singleton.
33:22
Jake Myers would be my fourth favorite. I'm with you there and then
33:25
a Bregman. Those are kind of my five favorite hitters there from the Astros.
33:30
Astra's my favorite. Stack on that two game. Don't expect them to
33:32
be very low owned by any means, But again, I like two games
33:36
slates. You can get a little different. Don't be afraid to play a
33:37
pitcher, or a batter against a pitcher, or two batters against your pitcher.
33:43
Hey, maybe that pitcher goes out, throws four or five shut innings
33:45
get you enough points in terms of enough to be optimal, and then those
33:50
batters get to the bullpen. Typically not a thing you want to do on
33:52
a main slate, but in a two game slate definitely does make a lot
33:55
of sense there. How much, I'll throw it over to you a closing
34:00
remarks for the people in terms of the FANDUO main slate and then any of
34:04
these other games we talked about in terms of the draftking slates as well.
34:07
Yeah, typically only smaller slates. I kind of throw ownership out the window.
34:10
I mean, you can use it as a guide a little bit,
34:12
but hey, everybody's gonna be quote unquote popular, right, but so few
34:15
games you're gonna look up, you're gonna see guys that are twenty thirty forty
34:19
percent. I think that's okay today. I wouldn't do anything where you're playing
34:22
a player, I get your pitcher. I think we got enough teams to
34:24
avoid that. Normally, I'm a I'm a you know, a five to
34:29
two, one, four to three one on FanDuel four to four, five
34:31
to three. I think it's okay to kind of mix it up a little
34:34
bit too, if you wanted to, you know, have three teams three
34:37
quote unquote little minis in your lineup. I think that's okay in a smaller
34:39
slate as well. All right, well, I'll throw it over to you.
34:45
Do you got a home run call for the people from any of these
34:50
games that have not locked yet, starting with the game in course Field and
34:54
beyond. Throw it over to you, man, who's your home run call
34:58
for this Memorial Day? Hey? Man, we got to talk about what
35:00
we did Friday night. We went four for four for the people. We
35:04
had Fairchild and Alonzo. You had Adele and mag Abdell and Logan o'hak sixth
35:12
and the eighth inning boom there late in the game. Hey, it doesn't
35:15
matter how late in the game they get it there, but they both put
35:17
one over the wall there. So that was. Yeah, we went four
35:21
for four on home run calls on Friday. If you would have parlayed all
35:22
four of those together, man, you'd probably be taking off of work this
35:25
whole next month because that would have had to pay pretty good. I think
35:30
it was what twenty five to one on the bet you placed on just your
35:32
two. If you would add it in my two as well, man,
35:35
that would have been a pretty payday. I'll tell you that right now.
35:37
We should have done it. But yeah, I mean, I got to
35:39
give the people two more. I got two that I liked. One.
35:44
I really like one scary, but I still like it. I've kind of
35:46
alluded to it. My first one, he's Battie ninth Will Benson for those
35:51
Chicago Red Cincinnati Reds. Really like Will Benson to take one over the wall.
35:55
My second one is going to be the leadoff in or Formula Waukee.
36:00
My favorite one of the night William Contreras. Hey, that one pays ninety
36:05
to one today, I believe so. Benson and Contrera's both home run tonight.
36:12
All right, well, I gotta keep the rolling. I gotta keep
36:15
the train rolling too. I'll give the people too. My favorite one is
36:17
Adam duval hitting six here tonight for these Atlanta Braves good weather there, thirty
36:22
three hundred love him on both sites there, solid one off. I really
36:28
like Adam Duval a ton there and then hey, I'm going to my favorite
36:31
stack of the day, I'm going to the shortstop position. Ellie de la
36:37
Cruz's gonna steal two bases and hit a home run here today. Posted in
36:42
the discord earlier, Ellie de la Cruz, he's going for one hundred stolen
36:45
based season. He's on pace for about ninety nine. I believe hopefully he
36:49
steals two bases here today and hits a home run. Ellie de la Cruz,
36:53
marcell Ozuna or Adam Duval, excuse me, are my two home run
36:57
calls. Let's see if we can run it back much. But that's gonna
37:00
do it for this MLB witching our show here. I did see that Minnesota
37:06
game first pitch did get under way, so hey, hopefully that rain holds
37:08
off for anybody who played Joe Ryan out there. I personally did not get
37:13
all the way up to Joe Ryan, but he was definitely in a good
37:15
spot there. Sp one on the slate in general, de facto, by
37:19
the nature of the slate, how much any closing remarks, no good luck
37:23
in your contest. And yeah, hopefully we see a couple at the top
37:27
of the leaderboard tonight. Yeah, let's do it. Hopefully we close out
37:30
this holiday weekend with a bang here and some extra money in our pockets.
37:35
Four hand much I'm made to five. Good luck tonight. In those contests
37:38
helped to see those ship in Nation logos at the top. Let's ship it and Norrist
