- 0:00Speaker 1: Yep.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Inside, I want to kill myself. We are on OWN
- 0:06Speaker 2: seven run over the last two days after tonight.
- 0:08Speaker 1: It was just complete bullshit.
- 0:10Speaker 2: So that's that's I'm gonna start off this show horrible.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Sunday one and five. I don't even know what to
- 0:16Speaker 1: tell you about that. I just don't want to do
- 0:18Speaker 1: this anymore.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I have never seen anything like this. Man with the
- 0:22Speaker 2: slump continuing.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Two straight losses, not a good day at all. Own four,
- 0:28Speaker 1: I have not had a good season.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Man with wookends the slump that I'm on, and the
- 0:35Speaker 2: slump continues, I've reached a new peak. Actually, I'm going
- 0:40Speaker 2: to burn my browins hack Man, I don't know what
- 0:43Speaker 2: is going on with the Bruins arch hape?
- 0:45Speaker 1: Is that what it is? I don't even know it's
- 0:47Speaker 1: March ninth, I think who even knows? Man, I don't
- 0:51Speaker 1: know what data is anymore. But I don't even know
- 0:53Speaker 1: what data is anymore.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Man, back with you after the worst day that I
- 0:58Speaker 2: could possibly have, Back with you.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I always am until I die at least oh and two.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Yesterday and yesterday it did not go well for me.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Own five the worst month that I've ever had in
- 1:11Speaker 2: my eighteen years.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Doing this. I don't know what to even tell you
- 1:14Speaker 1: about this anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 2: To the slump yesterdays, the slump discontinuous, The slump continues.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
- 1:22Speaker 2: I don't even know what I should do at this point,
- 1:25Speaker 2: other than potentially.
- 1:27Speaker 1: End it all. What's up, everybody, It's.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Towed back with you for Tuesday, July twenty second. Man,
- 1:37Speaker 2: that that intro it at least makes me laugh, man,
- 1:41Speaker 2: It helps me get through having all these terrible days.
- 1:44Speaker 1: The slump continues.
- 1:46Speaker 2: We were one and three yesterday. Obviously I wish it
- 1:49Speaker 2: went better than that. It started off pretty decently. Pittsburgh
- 1:52Speaker 2: got the win with a shutout over the Tigers.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Paul's schemes went six innings. Nice start from him.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Didn't get over worked in that one either, so at
- 2:02Speaker 2: least we nailed that one. I still don't even think
- 2:04Speaker 2: I was wrong about Miami, man, I mean.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Vez Kez was terrible.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Uri Perez still outpitched Vatscaz, even though he did a
- 2:10Speaker 2: lot of two runs. Besquez didn't even make it through
- 2:13Speaker 2: the fifth inning. He went four and a third and
- 2:15Speaker 2: he allowed seven hits, one walk, and the Marlins only
- 2:20Speaker 2: got one run out of that Marlins were just failing
- 2:23Speaker 2: to get anybody home. They were just jamming the bases
- 2:26Speaker 2: full of base runners and couldn't score at all.
- 2:28Speaker 1: So I don't even think I had that game wrong,
- 2:30Speaker 1: to be honest.
- 2:30Speaker 2: The Marlins out hit the Padres I think nine to
- 2:34Speaker 2: five over the course of the entire game, and I
- 2:36Speaker 2: think it was seven to four in the first five
- 2:38Speaker 2: innings something like that. So that one I think was
- 2:41Speaker 2: a bullshit loss. The others were not. I mean, I
- 2:44Speaker 2: wish I stayed away from the a's that one didn't
- 2:47Speaker 2: get there. Although Jack Lighter, I mean he was walking
- 2:50Speaker 2: a lot of guys and he got away with it,
- 2:51Speaker 2: and Lopez walked some guys and didn't get away with it.
- 2:54Speaker 2: So that was kind of the difference in that one
- 2:56Speaker 2: and then Seattle, I mean Seattle just they could not
- 3:00Speaker 2: hit Man, I mean Woodruff, I understand. I know he's
- 3:03Speaker 2: really good, but I thought that we were gonna get
- 3:05Speaker 2: kind of a close, low scoring game and that one
- 3:07Speaker 2: in that Seattle was gonna wind up coming out on
- 3:09Speaker 2: top in the end once it all came down to it.
- 3:11Speaker 2: But that was not the case. Nancy, what's up? Thanks
- 3:15Speaker 2: for hanging out all right, and Nancy, you should be
- 3:19Speaker 2: getting the let me know when you get the GIMP mask.
- 3:21Speaker 2: It should be coming to you at some point soon.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Weird way to start the show talking about that. Right,
- 3:29Speaker 2: Hopefully my audio is fine. Let me just double check
- 3:31Speaker 2: this as I always do great professionalism here. All right,
- 3:35Speaker 2: I think we're good. Let's get into today. Man, this
- 3:38Speaker 2: is gonna be the rundown. I always forget to bring
- 3:42Speaker 2: up the new graphics that I made here until I
- 3:46Speaker 2: do the best bet segment at the end.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Enjoy that. Enjoy inspecting the mask or whatever.
- 3:56Speaker 2: WNBA is back, by the way, and I'm not gonna
- 3:58Speaker 2: recommend any wnd NBA play today. I will have two
- 4:01Speaker 2: baseball players today. Trying to be a little bit selective.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I have what I think is the best side and
- 4:06Speaker 2: the best total. One of them is, of course, the
- 4:09Speaker 2: big game that I have in the description here, which
- 4:12Speaker 2: trying to get the eyes on it. Man, I'm gonna
- 4:14Speaker 2: talk about one of the biggest games Yankees, Blue Jays WNBA.
- 4:18Speaker 2: They're coming out of the All Star breaks. So, of course,
- 4:20Speaker 2: as I always say, when you have breaks like this,
- 4:23Speaker 2: generally you want to.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Look to play against teams that went into.
- 4:26Speaker 2: The All Star break hot because the All Star break
- 4:28Speaker 2: can disrupt that momentum, and if a team went into
- 4:32Speaker 2: the All Star break not doing well, sometimes they can
- 4:35Speaker 2: use that All Star break to fix some things. So
- 4:38Speaker 2: you kind of want to use that as just a
- 4:40Speaker 2: general way to look at these games. I do have
- 4:43Speaker 2: two somewhat leans in the WNBA, including in this first
- 4:47Speaker 2: game between the Sparks and the Mystics.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Here this is a quick revenge spot, man.
- 4:53Speaker 2: So the Sparks just played the Mystics right before the
- 4:57Speaker 2: All Star breaks, so this is a kind of a
- 4:59Speaker 2: rare area and I'm kind of tempted to actually give
- 5:01Speaker 2: out a play on this, which would be on Washington.
- 5:04Speaker 2: But the deal is, hold, let me ungroup these tabs here.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Wait a minute, what I've I hated? How Firefox does this? Man?
- 5:12Speaker 1: I have these? How do I even get rid of
- 5:14Speaker 1: this tab? I don't even know? Man, whatever, I'll just
- 5:15Speaker 1: leave it anyway.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Washington just lost at LA by nineteen points going into
- 5:22Speaker 2: the All Star break, and they actually got pretty much
- 5:24Speaker 2: destroyed in this game. LA just had the complete upper
- 5:27Speaker 2: hand the entire way. I was a little bit of
- 5:29Speaker 2: a shooting outlier of a game. LA shot fifty three
- 5:33Speaker 2: point five percent from the field in this game, so
- 5:36Speaker 2: a little bit of an outlier there. Of course, the
- 5:38Speaker 2: game was at LA, so it was kind of expected
- 5:40Speaker 2: that Washington would lose the turnover battle, which they also did.
- 5:45Speaker 2: I do think that LA is not really quite as
- 5:47Speaker 2: bad as the record looks, because they have had a
- 5:48Speaker 2: pretty difficult schedule. But the tables turn here man Washington
- 5:53Speaker 2: gets a quick revenge spot here after getting blown out
- 5:57Speaker 2: by LA. They get to face LA again right now,
- 5:59Speaker 2: and washing In is favored, and yes they're the team
- 6:02Speaker 2: with the better record, but I still think after they
- 6:04Speaker 2: got blown out by the Sparks in the last game
- 6:07Speaker 2: by nineteen points, I still think the public might have
- 6:10Speaker 2: a tendency to look at this and think, oh, well,
- 6:12Speaker 2: I'm getting points with LA now, Like they don't even
- 6:14Speaker 2: need to win the game, they just need to have
- 6:15Speaker 2: a close game, right. So it almost looks somewhat tempting
- 6:18Speaker 2: to take LA here, But I would.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Not do that.
- 6:20Speaker 2: I would lay the points with Washington. I think they
- 6:23Speaker 2: will make the adjustments here. Quick revenge is definitely a
- 6:26Speaker 2: fairly strong way to look in sports like this, and it.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Doesn't come up that often.
- 6:32Speaker 2: So Washington They're already up from two to three and
- 6:34Speaker 2: a half, so it looks like some of the actual
- 6:36Speaker 2: money is coming in on Washington. I won't quite give
- 6:39Speaker 2: it out as a play, but that is the best
- 6:41Speaker 2: of the WNBA leans today. Scott, what's up man?
- 6:45Speaker 1: Scoot?
- 6:46Speaker 2: Yeah, scooting his ass on the floor? I guess Patrick,
- 6:49Speaker 2: what's up man? Good morning to everybody, Hello GM to everybody. Hi,
- 6:55Speaker 2: all right. Chicago at Minnesota. I mean, this is a
- 6:58Speaker 2: complete mismatch. The best team in the league, Minnesota against
- 7:02Speaker 2: one of the worst teams in the league.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Minnesota's up from twelve to fifteen.
- 7:06Speaker 2: I mean, the question is you want to lay that
- 7:08Speaker 2: much of a price with Minnesota. I don't know that
- 7:11Speaker 2: you do. Minnesota did actually just play Chicago. They did
- 7:15Speaker 2: just Actually they lost at Chicago and then they had
- 7:17Speaker 2: a quick revenge spot one at Chicago right after that,
- 7:21Speaker 2: and they were playing a fourth straight road game. So
- 7:24Speaker 2: actually it was kind of a difficult spot for them
- 7:26Speaker 2: in both of those games that they were able to
- 7:28Speaker 2: get the revenge in the second game. They should win
- 7:31Speaker 2: this game, but they did go into the All Star
- 7:33Speaker 2: break on a winning note, and after beating Chicago last
- 7:36Speaker 2: time out, maybe they won't take them totally seriously, Chicago
- 7:39Speaker 2: may be in a spot to play a little bit
- 7:41Speaker 2: better because they had the worst game that you could
- 7:43Speaker 2: possibly have going into the All Star break after they
- 7:45Speaker 2: lost to Minnesota, they got annihilated by Atlanta and they
- 7:49Speaker 2: only scored forty nine points, losing by whatever that is,
- 7:53Speaker 2: thirty seven points to Atlanta. So I would slightly lean
- 7:56Speaker 2: too Chicago taking the points there, but that is not
- 7:59Speaker 2: as strong lean and the money looks like it's disagreeing
- 8:02Speaker 2: with me. Indiana is at New York, which would be
- 8:05Speaker 2: a decent game, but unfortunately Caitlyn Clark, who did not
- 8:08Speaker 2: play in the All Star festivities, is still.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Injured, so she's not playing here.
- 8:13Speaker 2: And I also love, by the way, how all these
- 8:15Speaker 2: WNBA games get ESPN billing. They're like all on the
- 8:19Speaker 2: ESPN networks and baseball isn't on ESPN at all. Like
- 8:23Speaker 2: what the fuck, dude, Like you turn on ESPN, is
- 8:25Speaker 2: that what you want to watch? You want to watch
- 8:27Speaker 2: WNBA instead of baseball. I mean, I know baseball is
- 8:31Speaker 2: way less awesome with all these stupid new rules and whatever,
- 8:34Speaker 2: but still it's ridiculous that they're trying to force, like
- 8:38Speaker 2: promote this stuff. For baseball, you have to go to
- 8:40Speaker 2: some of these, like other networks, and it's not easy
- 8:43Speaker 2: to find baseball to watch. Like I had ESPN on
- 8:46Speaker 2: last night, and Baseball, of course was on. I'm one
- 8:48Speaker 2: of the major sports Baseball I meme was happening, but
- 8:52Speaker 2: it wasn't on ESPN. ESPN had no live sports on
- 8:55Speaker 2: last night. Oh, let's just rerun the s piece. What
- 8:59Speaker 2: I mean, even those I ain't Gillis was awesome and
- 9:01Speaker 2: he killed it on that show.
- 9:03Speaker 1: It was still ridiculous.
- 9:04Speaker 2: I'm like, baseball is being played right now, Like, what
- 9:06Speaker 2: the fuck are you doing?
- 9:07Speaker 1: ESPN? It's all DEI horseshit.
- 9:11Speaker 2: But anyway, Caitlin Clark is not playing in this game,
- 9:13Speaker 2: which is basically why the Liberty are such a huge favorite.
- 9:17Speaker 2: They are up from nine to ten and a half now.
- 9:20Speaker 2: By the way, it looks like there is some cash
- 9:21Speaker 2: coming back in on the Chicago side in that game
- 9:23Speaker 2: I just talked about, and on the Liberty as they're
- 9:26Speaker 2: up to ten and a half, they have eighty one
- 9:28Speaker 2: percent of the cash I guess, and fifty percent of
- 9:30Speaker 2: tickets evenly split. But I would disagree with that. I
- 9:33Speaker 2: would not want to touch the Liberty in this game.
- 9:36Speaker 2: The Liberty just beat Indiana going into the All Star
- 9:39Speaker 2: Break by twenty one points. That was also without Caitlin Clark.
- 9:42Speaker 2: That was also at New York, so this is a
- 9:45Speaker 2: little bit of a revenge spot as well. The Liberty
- 9:47Speaker 2: were nine and a half point favorites in this game.
- 9:50Speaker 2: They blew out the clarkless Indiana team. Here, I think
- 9:53Speaker 2: Indiana does show up with a better performance. I mean,
- 9:56Speaker 2: this game was a total outlier, man, I mean, look
- 9:58Speaker 2: at what happened in this game. The Liberty shot fifty
- 10:00Speaker 2: seven point eight percent from the field and fifty one
- 10:03Speaker 2: point nine percent from three. That's never gonna happen again.
- 10:06Speaker 2: These WNBA teams usually shoot like thirty low thirties, probably
- 10:11Speaker 2: from three point range, and Indiana had a particularly horrible
- 10:14Speaker 2: shooting game thirty six point eight percent and twenty five
- 10:17Speaker 2: percent from three. That's not gonna happen again. And either
- 10:20Speaker 2: Indiana actually won the rebound battle in the game. Yes,
- 10:23Speaker 2: the Liberty are one of the top two teams in
- 10:25Speaker 2: the league with Minnesota. Yes, Indiana doesn't have Caitlin Clark,
- 10:28Speaker 2: but I expect Indiana to play at least a closer
- 10:31Speaker 2: game in that one, so I would lean to taking
- 10:33Speaker 2: the points with them Minnesota. Yeah, they probably are the
- 10:37Speaker 2: best team. It's between them in New York. David, what's
- 10:40Speaker 2: up man, Thanks for hanging out.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Uh, Atlanta is at Las Vegas here.
- 10:45Speaker 2: This is one of the most competitive games, maybe the
- 10:49Speaker 2: most competitive game.
- 10:49Speaker 1: At least based on the line.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Uh. The Aces went into the All Star Break with
- 10:54Speaker 2: a lot of scoring, scoring over one hundred in a
- 10:56Speaker 2: crazy game against Golden State where they only won by two,
- 10:59Speaker 2: and then they only beat Dallas by four and scored
- 11:03Speaker 2: ninety points.
- 11:04Speaker 1: So Vegas had a couple of close calls against a
- 11:07Speaker 1: couple of inferior teams, so.
- 11:09Speaker 2: They may be thinking about that coming out of the
- 11:11Speaker 2: All Star Break, but they did score a lot of points.
- 11:13Speaker 2: So I don't know what their mindset is going to
- 11:16Speaker 2: be here, but I think both teams are gonna show
- 11:17Speaker 2: up because this is a game.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Between two good teams.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Atlanta is coming off that very satisfying blowout win that
- 11:24Speaker 2: I mentioned over Chicago, though, so maybe they were in
- 11:26Speaker 2: a little bit of the They're in a spot that's
- 11:28Speaker 2: a little bit less good. I would say it is
- 11:30Speaker 2: their fourth straight road game, but it's not really a
- 11:33Speaker 2: continuation of a road trip because they had the All
- 11:36Speaker 2: Star breaks, they probably had some time to go back
- 11:38Speaker 2: home and whatever, and then did the All Star stuff.
- 11:40Speaker 2: And I don't remember where the All Star festivities actually
- 11:43Speaker 2: took place, but whatever, the money is coming in towards
- 11:48Speaker 2: the Atlanta side here is Vegas is down from two
- 11:50Speaker 2: and a half to one here. Not entirely sure that
- 11:53Speaker 2: I would agree with that one either though. And then
- 11:55Speaker 2: Dallas is at Seattle. This is a bit of a
- 11:57Speaker 2: mismatch as well.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Seattle.
- 11:59Speaker 2: I went into the All Star Break with a win
- 12:01Speaker 2: somewhat close win over Golden State, a very low scoring win.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Seattle seems to be playing some low scoring defensive games here.
- 12:09Speaker 2: They're definitely a talented team. They're certainly the better team
- 12:12Speaker 2: over Dallas, although I am expecting Dallas to continue to
- 12:15Speaker 2: improve as they get used to having their new lineup here.
- 12:19Speaker 2: You know, they basically rebuilt their entire team this year.
- 12:22Speaker 2: But Dallas, they did also go into the All Star
- 12:24Speaker 2: break on a four game lost streaks, and they might
- 12:26Speaker 2: be in like a bounce back spot type of scenario
- 12:30Speaker 2: here where they went into the All Star break in
- 12:32Speaker 2: such a bad note. They might show up and play
- 12:34Speaker 2: well and if you're expecting it to be, you know,
- 12:36Speaker 2: somewhat of a lower scoring game. Although maybe we shouldn't
- 12:39Speaker 2: expect that because this is actually one of the higher
- 12:40Speaker 2: totals today. But the way that Seattle's been playing, it
- 12:44Speaker 2: might be a little bit more difficult for them to
- 12:46Speaker 2: cover a nine point spread. Money looks like it is
- 12:49Speaker 2: coming into Dallas for now, but we'll see if that
- 12:52Speaker 2: actually winds up being the case. And I will say, Washington,
- 12:56Speaker 2: when they did play LA the last time, that was
- 12:58Speaker 2: a second straight road game, or they'd gone to the
- 13:00Speaker 2: Pacific coast, and they had just won against Vegas and
- 13:03Speaker 2: Seattle in the two games prior, so it wasn't exactly
- 13:05Speaker 2: the best spot for them against LA in that game.
- 13:09Speaker 2: So another reason, and maybe look towards Washington today, will
- 13:13Speaker 2: what's up?
- 13:14Speaker 1: Man?
- 13:14Speaker 2: Good morning to you as well, Good morning to everybody.
- 13:18Speaker 2: All right, a game morning, Yes, that's what GM stands for.
- 13:22Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the meat, baby, let's get
- 13:24Speaker 2: to the meet league baseball here, meet league of beef,
- 13:29Speaker 2: some big beefy baseball boys here. I'm gonna try to
- 13:33Speaker 2: talk about every game. Man, Can I do this quicker
- 13:35Speaker 2: than I usually do?
- 13:36Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I can.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Shane Gillis made an awesome joke about that.
- 13:43Speaker 2: He said that Caitlyn Clark, when she retires or whatever,
- 13:47Speaker 2: she should get a job at waffle house so she
- 13:50Speaker 2: could continue doing what she does. Anyway, fistfighting black women.
- 13:55Speaker 2: That got cut out actually because I had the sb's
- 13:58Speaker 2: on last night. The replay of it, they cut some
- 14:00Speaker 2: of Gillis's jokes out, and they cut that joke out
- 14:03Speaker 2: of it. I mean, come on, man, and they cut
- 14:06Speaker 2: out his story about Trump as well, but man, ridiculous. Anyway,
- 14:11Speaker 2: Baltimore is at Cleveland. All these games are starting in
- 14:13Speaker 2: the evening. This is an interesting pitching matchup between two
- 14:17Speaker 2: young pitchers. They do have I think, kind of a
- 14:20Speaker 2: high ceiling, but we will see. Cleveland did actually win
- 14:25Speaker 2: yesterday ten to five. So Cleveland actually has had some
- 14:28Speaker 2: offense recently, although I don't expect it to last.
- 14:31Speaker 1: I mean, Cleveland's offense is pretty bad.
- 14:35Speaker 2: I don't think either team actually used a lot of
- 14:37Speaker 2: their bullpen yesterday. The starters, well, Sugano didn't last very long,
- 14:42Speaker 2: but there was not heavy bullpen you said for either
- 14:45Speaker 2: team here, the bullpen's kind of just well, Baltimore is
- 14:48Speaker 2: kind of mopped up, and Cleveland let bib go seven
- 14:52Speaker 2: innings in the game yesterday, So the bullpens are in
- 14:55Speaker 2: decent shape. But I don't know if I really love
- 14:57Speaker 2: either bullpen. Brandon Young is gonna be pitching for Baltimore here.
- 15:03Speaker 1: He is young.
- 15:04Speaker 2: His numbers have not been good at all, though seven
- 15:06Speaker 2: point five to ERA, one point seven to eight whip.
- 15:10Speaker 2: He's been a little bit better on the road, better
- 15:13Speaker 2: being very relative there six point two to three. Roady
- 15:16Speaker 2: ra did not have a good outing last time out.
- 15:19Speaker 2: He got absolutely destroyed by Miami and gave up four
- 15:22Speaker 2: home runs and seven runs and nine hits against Miami.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Does have a fourteen to two strikeout walk ratio this
- 15:29Speaker 2: month and three starts, but Baltimore has lost every one
- 15:32Speaker 2: of his last five starts. He's only gone five innings
- 15:35Speaker 2: in one start all season. He's not giving up a
- 15:39Speaker 2: lot of walks, so his control is pretty good, or
- 15:41Speaker 2: has been good at least over the last five starts
- 15:44Speaker 2: or so, but or last four starts, I should say.
- 15:48Speaker 2: But he's getting hit really hard, so I don't know
- 15:50Speaker 2: that we could trust Young here. Cleveland has never seen
- 15:52Speaker 2: him before, so maybe because Young is kind of a
- 15:55Speaker 2: hard throwing young pitcher, and maybe that is a little
- 15:57Speaker 2: bit of an advantage against a week off. It's like
- 16:00Speaker 2: Cleveland because they haven't seen him before. But I don't
- 16:02Speaker 2: know if we could really trust Young. Cleveland has Joey
- 16:05Speaker 2: Cantillo pitching. He's been mediocre four point one seven ERA,
- 16:10Speaker 2: one point four to four whip. He's been pretty bad
- 16:12Speaker 2: at home with a six ERA at home. He was
- 16:15Speaker 2: actually coming out of the bullpen for most of the
- 16:17Speaker 2: season and then they moved him to the starting rotation.
- 16:19Speaker 2: But he hasn't been going deep into games, although Cleveland
- 16:22Speaker 2: actually did win his last two starts, both in extra innings,
- 16:26Speaker 2: though he wasn't very good in either start. Two of
- 16:29Speaker 2: his last three starts he walked three in each outing.
- 16:32Speaker 2: His very last start, he didn't walk anybody and struck
- 16:34Speaker 2: out six against a bad White Sox lineup. But he's
- 16:37Speaker 2: still allowed two homers and four runs and didn't go
- 16:40Speaker 2: that deep into the game. So he's not exactly really
- 16:43Speaker 2: really dominating or any they were getting really even getting
- 16:46Speaker 2: the job done.
- 16:47Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Up against Baltimore, his numbers are not very good, although
- 16:50Speaker 2: it's a small eleven at bat sample size, Mullins has
- 16:54Speaker 2: a home run off him, and he's allowed of three
- 16:56Speaker 2: sixty four average one ninety one ohps. So Cantillo doesn't
- 17:02Speaker 2: have good numbers either against Baltimore. So I mean to me,
- 17:06Speaker 2: the money is coming in on the under in this game,
- 17:09Speaker 2: and I think that's pretty dangerous, especially because I don't
- 17:11Speaker 2: like either bulp and it looks like the professional money
- 17:15Speaker 2: is kind of thinking, well, you have two young pitchers
- 17:17Speaker 2: that are kind of unfamiliar to the opposing hitters. Maybe
- 17:19Speaker 2: they can get the job done here. But I would
- 17:21Speaker 2: not want to bank on that. The totals down for
- 17:23Speaker 2: mate and have to eight juice to the under, so
- 17:25Speaker 2: a pretty significant move. And eighty two percent tickets on
- 17:28Speaker 2: the over, sixty three percent of the cash on the under.
- 17:31Speaker 2: The strongest market read says under in this game. But
- 17:35Speaker 2: I mean that is not something I'm gonna want to
- 17:37Speaker 2: touch or anything like that. Yeah, there it is the
- 17:40Speaker 2: the big beef. Andrew, what's up man? Thanks for hanging out,
- 17:44Speaker 2: Will What's up? Yeah?
- 17:45Speaker 1: My baseball stuff gets way more technical.
- 17:47Speaker 2: I think it's easier to listen to me on all
- 17:50Speaker 2: the other sports, basically because I don't really talk about
- 17:53Speaker 2: as many like crazy statistics. I mean, that's really a
- 17:56Speaker 2: baseball thing. But I mean you can ask to be
- 17:58Speaker 2: questions all answered. I mean ERA is earned run average,
- 18:02Speaker 2: So it's how many earned runs like runs that are
- 18:05Speaker 2: not the result of an error fielding mishap or whatever,
- 18:08Speaker 2: runs that are basically based on actual hits and and
- 18:11Speaker 2: uh walks and whatever that are scored against that picture
- 18:15Speaker 2: per nine innings. Whip is walks and it hits per
- 18:18Speaker 2: innings pitch or that, which I like as a better
- 18:20Speaker 2: metric because that's how many earned base runners the picture
- 18:24Speaker 2: is putting on base per inning, which I think tells
- 18:27Speaker 2: you more about how the picture is actually doing because
- 18:30Speaker 2: he might just be getting lucky and escaping those jams.
- 18:33Speaker 2: And then OPS is on base percentage plus slugging, which
- 18:38Speaker 2: I think is a little bit of a better indicator
- 18:39Speaker 2: of what the batting is actually doing, because you have
- 18:42Speaker 2: batting average, which is literally just you know, like batting
- 18:46Speaker 2: average is literally just the percentage of it bats that
- 18:49Speaker 2: the guy gets a hit.
- 18:50Speaker 1: But OPS includes basically everything.
- 18:53Speaker 2: It includes walks, and it includes the extra basis that's
- 18:56Speaker 2: a better indicator of is this guy drawing a lot
- 18:59Speaker 2: of walks?
- 19:00Speaker 1: Are these guys, you know, hitting the ball.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Hard and getting a lot of extra base hits. So
- 19:05Speaker 2: that's why I like to use those stats. But they're
- 19:07Speaker 2: all these new stats, Like all these guys use these
- 19:10Speaker 2: advanced analytics now are they're using like expected e RA?
- 19:13Speaker 2: Like what is this pitcher's era expected to be based
- 19:17Speaker 2: on how they pitched? And uh FIP, which is like
- 19:20Speaker 2: fielding independent pitching, which is another metric that these advanced
- 19:24Speaker 2: analytics guys use. They're they're fipping, They're fapping to those numbers. Man,
- 19:28Speaker 2: But I'm way too old school for that.
- 19:30Speaker 1: I do not do that.
- 19:31Speaker 2: So I don't know if that puts me at a disadvantage.
- 19:33Speaker 2: I mean, hopefully hopefully it does not. But I mean
- 19:36Speaker 2: I've done well in baseball in the past, even though
- 19:38Speaker 2: this year has not really been that good. Uh, Detroit
- 19:41Speaker 2: at Pittsburgh I got. I got to Pittsburgh right yesterday.
- 19:45Speaker 2: And Detroit, I mean I didn't necessarily expect Detroit to
- 19:47Speaker 2: be completely shut out, but Pittsburgh didn't win three to
- 19:50Speaker 2: nothing yesterday.
- 19:51Speaker 1: I don't think there was a whole lot of bullpen.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Usage either on either side, so the bullpen's fairly intact.
- 19:57Speaker 2: We got Casey Myz pitching today for Detroit in this one.
- 20:02Speaker 1: He's been pretty good this season.
- 20:04Speaker 2: I mean I keep expecting him to regress because his
- 20:06Speaker 2: career numbers basically say he cannot continue doing this. We'll
- 20:10Speaker 2: see if that happens in the second half. Three point
- 20:13Speaker 2: one five ERA, one point two to two WHIP on
- 20:16Speaker 2: the season, those are pretty good numbers. He's been pretty
- 20:20Speaker 2: good both home and away, it doesn't really matter. And
- 20:22Speaker 2: he did just get named to his first All Star Game,
- 20:25Speaker 2: and he pitched in the All Star Game. Didn't do
- 20:28Speaker 2: that well. I mean, well, he gave up a home run,
- 20:29Speaker 2: so I mean that's that could be considered to be
- 20:31Speaker 2: a little bit fluky, went two thirds of an inning.
- 20:36Speaker 2: I'm still expecting him to regress, though. Man, his last
- 20:38Speaker 2: start going into the All Star break was pretty atrocious.
- 20:41Speaker 2: He gave up six runs in three innings to Seattle.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Although he was pitching pretty well in a bunch of
- 20:46Speaker 2: starts before that. He hadn't a lot more than two
- 20:48Speaker 2: hour runs in any start before that, going all the
- 20:51Speaker 2: way back to the beginning of June, and he did
- 20:53Speaker 2: have a pretty good strikeout walk ratio too, twenty four
- 20:56Speaker 2: to seven in June. It is still eight to three
- 20:58Speaker 2: in July so far, So you could argue that maybe
- 21:01Speaker 2: that Seattle start was just a bit of an outlier,
- 21:04Speaker 2: maybe it was a fluke, or maybe he is starting
- 21:06Speaker 2: to regress. But I think the All Star Game could
- 21:09Speaker 2: potentially throw him off, man, because a lot of times
- 21:11Speaker 2: when you have a guy that's been around for a
- 21:12Speaker 2: while like him, they get named to that first All
- 21:15Speaker 2: Star Game. Sometimes it kind of lingers and they are
- 21:18Speaker 2: a little bit distracted. They don't pitch that well coming
- 21:20Speaker 2: out of that All Star Game pitching in the next game.
- 21:22Speaker 2: So maybe that will affect him up against Pittsburgh. His
- 21:26Speaker 2: numbers actually are mediocre in thirty seven at bats seven
- 21:29Speaker 2: to one starke a walk ratio is good, his ops
- 21:32Speaker 2: allowed is pretty good, six fourteen pretty low. Two seventy
- 21:35Speaker 2: average is not that low. So Pittsburgh has at least
- 21:39Speaker 2: been able to hit him a little bit. He's going
- 21:42Speaker 2: up against Mitch Keller, who I prefer Keller over mys.
- 21:45Speaker 1: I actually like Keller. He's having a good season flying.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Under the radar here three point four to eighty RA
- 21:51Speaker 2: one point one for Whip. He's seemingly going to be
- 21:54Speaker 2: a trade target, which I've heard of some rumors that
- 21:57Speaker 2: maybe the Red Sox have him on the list, and
- 22:00Speaker 2: looking at the list, red Sox potentially going after like
- 22:04Speaker 2: a Contra and I forget who else, some Oh Taj Bradley.
- 22:08Speaker 2: I'm like, please do not do that. I would actually
- 22:10Speaker 2: much rather have this guy, Mitch Keller. I mean, he's
- 22:13Speaker 2: actually pitching really well, and he's just on a really
- 22:15Speaker 2: bad team and he's not getting any of the accolades.
- 22:18Speaker 2: He's been a little bit worse at home though, three
- 22:20Speaker 2: point eight to nine ERA, which is interesting because Pittsburgh
- 22:24Speaker 2: does actually play better at home.
- 22:25Speaker 1: But he's pitching well. Man.
- 22:27Speaker 2: He had a twenty one to six strikeout walk ratio
- 22:29Speaker 2: in June, even though Pittsburgh can't hit, and they lost
- 22:32Speaker 2: almost every single one of those games four out of
- 22:35Speaker 2: the five They've won two of his three starts this month,
- 22:38Speaker 2: has a fifteen to two strike out walk ratio this
- 22:40Speaker 2: month and has gone at least six innings in all
- 22:42Speaker 2: three with a one point three seven ERA, so that's
- 22:45Speaker 2: pretty good.
- 22:46Speaker 1: He's allowed two or fewer.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Earned runs in six straight starts, so Keller is actually, uh,
- 22:51Speaker 2: he's pitching well right now, and his numbers against Detroit
- 22:54Speaker 2: are not terrible. In thirty nine at bats, sixteen to
- 22:57Speaker 2: four strike out walk ratio, fifty six batting average seven
- 23:01Speaker 2: to fifty one OPS. So I'm gonna lean to Pittsburgh
- 23:05Speaker 2: again in this game. Man, I don't think it's as
- 23:06Speaker 2: strong as yesterday because we were fading Detroit coming off
- 23:09Speaker 2: the Sunday night game. But Detroit might be in bounced
- 23:13Speaker 2: back mode after they got shut out yesterday. But Detroit's
- 23:15Speaker 2: offense has been cold recently. Man, they have not been
- 23:18Speaker 2: playing that well. So I actually leaned to Pittsburgh in
- 23:20Speaker 2: this game. Detroit is very public, seventy nine percent tickets,
- 23:23Speaker 2: only sixty percent of the cash, Detroit laying a price
- 23:27Speaker 2: on the road down for minus one thirty minus one
- 23:29Speaker 2: twenty four.
- 23:30Speaker 1: I don't really agree with that either.
- 23:31Speaker 2: I mean, yes, I mean Detroit of course does have
- 23:35Speaker 2: an offensive bage, I mean that is their biggest edge,
- 23:37Speaker 2: but their offense, like I said, has been pretty cold recently.
- 23:40Speaker 2: And as I pointed out yesterday, Pittsburgh's bullpend actually might
- 23:43Speaker 2: be better than Detroit, so that they did have to
- 23:46Speaker 2: use some of their better relievers yesterday. But Pittsburgh has
- 23:49Speaker 2: actually slightly better bullpend metrics than Detroit does. And with
- 23:53Speaker 2: myes on the mound against Keller. I really don't think
- 23:55Speaker 2: Detroit should be laying a price like this on the road, man.
- 23:59Speaker 1: And Pittsburgh is like it, out is a lot better.
- 24:01Speaker 2: At home than they are on the road, and Detroit
- 24:03Speaker 2: is not as good on the road. So all of
- 24:06Speaker 2: that being said, in the market, Red is saying this
- 24:08Speaker 2: as well, I think Pittsburgh might be worth a shot
- 24:11Speaker 2: as a home underdog here. Man. Again, I do not
- 24:13Speaker 2: think Detroit should be favored like this on the road
- 24:16Speaker 2: with this particular matchup. So that's the way that I
- 24:18Speaker 2: look at that game. Cubert, what's up man? Or fishing Rick?
- 24:23Speaker 1: Yeah? All right?
- 24:27Speaker 2: San Diego at Miami holy crap early on the third
- 24:30Speaker 2: game of twenty five minutes, and although he did talk
- 24:32Speaker 2: about stupid WNBA, I kind of like Miami in this game, man.
- 24:37Speaker 2: I mean, I know, I gave out a play on
- 24:38Speaker 2: Miami first five yesterday and that didn't work out, and
- 24:41Speaker 2: it probably should have because Miami actually out hit San Diego.
- 24:44Speaker 1: In the game yesterday. They just failed to score runs.
- 24:49Speaker 2: This game, again, we're looking at a similar setup to yesterday.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Obviously San Diego has the way better, bullpend, but San
- 24:56Speaker 2: Diego did use some of their better relievers yesterday, and
- 24:58Speaker 2: they had to bring in their bullpen earlier than Miami did.
- 25:02Speaker 2: And Miami's bullpen is actually not horrific. I mean, it's
- 25:05Speaker 2: kind of a mediocre bullpen. So with San Diego having
- 25:08Speaker 2: the less rested bullpen, that kind of closes the gap
- 25:11Speaker 2: a little bit on the bullpens as far as the
- 25:13Speaker 2: starting pitching, And obviously I would say San Diego has
- 25:17Speaker 2: the better offense, but I don't think it's really by
- 25:19Speaker 2: that much either. Stephen Kolek is starting for the Padres
- 25:22Speaker 2: and he is starting to not pitch very well. He
- 25:25Speaker 2: started off kind of hot and since then he has
- 25:28Speaker 2: not been very good. They actually send him down to
- 25:30Speaker 2: the miners and now they're bringing him back up. He
- 25:33Speaker 2: hasn't been that good though, four point twenty four ERA
- 25:36Speaker 2: one point twenty nine whip not great numbers. He has
- 25:39Speaker 2: been way better on the road, though, which is just
- 25:41Speaker 2: bizarre to maybe because San Diego has a very pitcher
- 25:44Speaker 2: friendly park, but he is a two point six roadyra
- 25:48Speaker 2: compared to nine point four or five at home, so
- 25:50Speaker 2: basically all of his bad starts have been at home.
- 25:53Speaker 2: But one of those was last time out, which is
- 25:56Speaker 2: probably why they send him to the miners. He got
- 25:58Speaker 2: blasted at home by Texas, which is not a good offense,
- 26:01Speaker 2: so that's not a good sign for Colec. San Diego
- 26:04Speaker 2: had actually lost six starts in a row that he made,
- 26:06Speaker 2: and he wasn't particularly good in any of them.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Really.
- 26:09Speaker 2: He gave up three or more earned runs in all
- 26:13Speaker 2: but two of them, and in four of the last five.
- 26:17Speaker 2: His walk rate wasn't that high, but his strikeout rates
- 26:19Speaker 2: not that high, and he wasn't going very deep into
- 26:21Speaker 2: these starts either. He went.
- 26:24Speaker 1: Five and a third.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Or fewer in I believe three of those last six
- 26:28Speaker 2: is what that is if my eyesight is right.
- 26:31Speaker 1: So he was starting to pitch way worse. They sent
- 26:33Speaker 1: him down.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Sometimes when a guy gets sent down to the Triple
- 26:36Speaker 2: A and then he gets called back up, sometimes it
- 26:38Speaker 2: does kind.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Of give him a refresher and he does pitch better.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Though he does have good numbers against Miami in eighteen
- 26:43Speaker 2: at bats, they only have a two twenty two average
- 26:47Speaker 2: five twenty two ops, so Colic at least has a
- 26:50Speaker 2: matchup that isn't that bad for him here. But I
- 26:53Speaker 2: don't trust him at all, man, and I actually like
- 26:55Speaker 2: Miami's pitcher here, Edward Cabrera.
- 26:57Speaker 1: He is I know that he's been a good pitch
- 27:00Speaker 1: for a while.
- 27:00Speaker 2: He has really good strikeout stuff, but he's been wild
- 27:03Speaker 2: throughout his career. But he is starting to pitch pretty well.
- 27:05Speaker 2: He is also a potential trade target for all the
- 27:08Speaker 2: Red Sox, which I wouldn't mind because I actually like
- 27:10Speaker 2: Cabrera a three point six one ERA, one point two
- 27:13Speaker 2: to six whip pitching pretty well. His numbers are good
- 27:16Speaker 2: at home three point one six home ERA, and.
- 27:19Speaker 1: He's been good this month. Man actually really good.
- 27:21Speaker 2: A seventeen to one strikeout walk ratio this month with
- 27:24Speaker 2: a three ERA. That's pretty good. He's definitely in control
- 27:28Speaker 2: right now this month. Although he allowed four runs and
- 27:30Speaker 2: four innings last time out against Baltimore, which was on
- 27:33Speaker 2: the road, but.
- 27:34Speaker 1: That start he got hit a little bit hard, but
- 27:36Speaker 1: he was not wild.
- 27:37Speaker 2: He had six strikeouts and no walks, so there were
- 27:40Speaker 2: some good indicators in that start as well.
- 27:42Speaker 1: So I don't think it's.
- 27:43Speaker 2: A situation where he's like completely falling out a form
- 27:47Speaker 2: and about to pitch poorly.
- 27:49Speaker 1: I don't think so.
- 27:49Speaker 2: And his numbers against San Diego are not that bad
- 27:51Speaker 2: in twenty six at bats one ninety two batting average
- 27:55Speaker 2: a little bit of a high seven to twenty three
- 27:57Speaker 2: ops that batting average is really lows is a little
- 28:00Speaker 2: bit high because Diez does have a home run off
- 28:02Speaker 2: and he has a lot four walks to them again
- 28:05Speaker 2: though Cabrera wild and it's coming into play there. But
- 28:07Speaker 2: I like Miami overall in this game. That is the
- 28:09Speaker 2: way that I would lean. That is close to being
- 28:12Speaker 2: a play for me. Actually, Miami, they look like they
- 28:15Speaker 2: have the money. They're down for minus one twenty to
- 28:17Speaker 2: minus one eighteen. I would probably go full game on
- 28:20Speaker 2: that one because I think, like I said, I think
- 28:22Speaker 2: the bullpend gap has closed a little bit because San
- 28:24Speaker 2: Diego used some of their best relievers again yesterday. They've
- 28:27Speaker 2: been using a lot of their bullpen as of late
- 28:29Speaker 2: fifty three percent of tickets eighty five percent of the
- 28:31Speaker 2: cash on Miami. And you do get them at a
- 28:33Speaker 2: pretty reasonable price. And again, the public's gonna look at
- 28:36Speaker 2: this and think, how am I getting San Diego as
- 28:38Speaker 2: an underdog here, right, because San Diego is the better record.
- 28:42Speaker 2: But again, San Diego had a really hot start to
- 28:44Speaker 2: the season and they've been like a less than five
- 28:46Speaker 2: hundred team since then, so they are not really as
- 28:49Speaker 2: good as the record tells you that they are, and
- 28:51Speaker 2: they're below five hundred on the road as well. Although
- 28:55Speaker 2: that analysis didn't help me. Yesterday, my Boston Red Sox
- 28:58Speaker 2: are at Philadelphia, and man, the Red Sox almost stole
- 29:02Speaker 2: yesterday's game because obviously Philadelphia should have won that game easily.
- 29:06Speaker 2: With Zach Wheeler on the mount who might be the
- 29:09Speaker 2: n l CY Young winner if he steals it from
- 29:12Speaker 2: schemes because Skeens is on a bad team. Wheeler has
- 29:14Speaker 2: been excellent, but Walker Bueller for the Red Sox actually
- 29:18Speaker 2: had like his best start of the season. Somehow, that's
- 29:21Speaker 2: not a good side for Philly. Man, Philly could not
- 29:23Speaker 2: even do anything against Walker Bueller. That's ridiculous. And the
- 29:26Speaker 2: Red Sox lost on catcher interference in the tenth inning
- 29:31Speaker 2: last night, although the Red Sox were gonna lose anyway,
- 29:33Speaker 2: I mean the bases were loaded with no outs, but still,
- 29:36Speaker 2: that's ridiculous.
- 29:37Speaker 1: That is not true. The Red Sox offense is not garbage.
- 29:40Speaker 2: They have been actually quite hot since their young guys
- 29:44Speaker 2: have started to coalesce. They have a lot of good
- 29:46Speaker 2: young hitters on this Red Sox team Roman Anthony is
- 29:49Speaker 2: putting up stats that are basically unheard of for a
- 29:53Speaker 2: twenty one year old. As far as his exit I
- 29:55Speaker 2: saw a stat about his exit velocity and his chase rate.
- 29:58Speaker 2: His exit velocity so high, his chase rate is so
- 30:01Speaker 2: low that only one other player in the majors matches that,
- 30:06Speaker 2: and it's Jue Soto. So Anthony looks like he's the
- 30:09Speaker 2: real deal. A Meyer looks like he might be good
- 30:11Speaker 2: as well. Rafaela is certainly really, really good. A bray
- 30:15Speaker 2: who is hitting really well. This Red Sox offense is
- 30:17Speaker 2: not bad at all. No, that is incorrect. I'll I'll
- 30:22Speaker 2: prove you wrong right now because I have the hitting
- 30:24Speaker 2: stats up right now. The Red Sox are fifth in
- 30:27Speaker 2: the majors in OPS and their team batting average is
- 30:32Speaker 2: I mean, these batting averages all look low. I know
- 30:34Speaker 2: they're where are they at? Their eighth in team batting
- 30:38Speaker 2: average and fifth in OPS in all of the majors.
- 30:41Speaker 2: So you were incorrect, sir. And that's including when the
- 30:44Speaker 2: Red Sox sucked offensively.
- 30:46Speaker 1: Earlier in the year too.
- 30:49Speaker 2: I mean, okay, I guess, but they were scoring a
- 30:52Speaker 2: shit ton of runs going into the break. Although it
- 30:54Speaker 2: was against bad teams, but the I mean the Red Sox.
- 30:58Speaker 1: The Red Sox offense is not that bad.
- 31:00Speaker 2: They might not do well in this game, though. This
- 31:02Speaker 2: is an interesting pitching matchup. Both bullpens did not get
- 31:06Speaker 2: a lot of usage yesterday, although the Red Sox bullpen
- 31:09Speaker 2: is better than Philadelphia's, so at least the Red Sox
- 31:11Speaker 2: to have a bullpen edge.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Dick Fits is pitching for the Red Sox here.
- 31:16Speaker 2: He's been okay four point two to eighty RA, one
- 31:19Speaker 2: point two to two whip better on the road, two
- 31:22Speaker 2: point five ERA in the road, maybe because the pressure
- 31:25Speaker 2: is off of him when he's on the road. Red
- 31:27Speaker 2: Sox won his last two starts, although one he only
- 31:30Speaker 2: went three innings.
- 31:31Speaker 1: I don't really know why that was the case.
- 31:32Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know if there was a rain delay
- 31:33Speaker 2: or what happened in that one, But they've been kind
- 31:35Speaker 2: of limiting his pitch counts, so maybe that's why he's gone.
- 31:38Speaker 2: He was going deeper into games earlier in the season,
- 31:41Speaker 2: but then his last start they let him go a
- 31:42Speaker 2: starter's workload again. He threw ninety one pitches beat Colorado.
- 31:46Speaker 2: That was his first win of the season, five to two.
- 31:49Speaker 2: Thirds innings, six strikeouts, one walk. I know, Colorado very
- 31:52Speaker 2: bad offense, but that's a good sign moving forward for Fits.
- 31:56Speaker 1: He's not pitching that badly.
- 31:58Speaker 2: He really had one horrific starred at one point here,
- 32:01Speaker 2: which is against actually kind of two, but really one
- 32:04Speaker 2: against Anaheim.
- 32:05Speaker 1: So I don't think Fits is that bad.
- 32:07Speaker 2: And Philadelphia has never seen him before, so Fits he
- 32:11Speaker 2: might be giving me Fits he might.
- 32:13Speaker 1: He might not do.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Well here, but Philadelphia, having never seen him before, he
- 32:17Speaker 2: may actually have a decent outing here because, like I say,
- 32:20Speaker 2: some of these young pictures, they can have a tendency
- 32:24Speaker 2: to fool opposing hitters that have never actually seen him
- 32:26Speaker 2: before because they have to adjust to him.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez is pitching.
- 32:30Speaker 2: For Philadelphia, and he is Philadelphia's second best starter behind Wheeler.
- 32:35Speaker 2: I think there's no question about that. He's having an
- 32:37Speaker 2: excellent season. Two point five R, one point one four whip,
- 32:42Speaker 2: a little bit worse at home, but still really good
- 32:44Speaker 2: two point nine to six ERA. He's been really good
- 32:47Speaker 2: as of late as well. Thirty three to six strike
- 32:50Speaker 2: out walk ratio in June with one point eight five
- 32:52Speaker 2: ERA this month, nineteen to four strikeout walk ratio with
- 32:57Speaker 2: a one point two seventy ra going at least seven
- 33:00Speaker 2: innings in all three starts. He's allowed one earned run
- 33:03Speaker 2: apiece in five straight starts, has an allowed more than
- 33:06Speaker 2: two urned runs since May twenty fourth, and has an
- 33:08Speaker 2: alumn more than three earned runs since the only time
- 33:12Speaker 2: he did that, which was April sixth against the Dodgers.
- 33:15Speaker 1: So Sanchez very very good this year.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Although the Red Sox they haven't seen that much of
- 33:19Speaker 2: him nine at bats, but they've actually hit him four
- 33:22Speaker 2: for nine four forty four average nine to ninety ops.
- 33:25Speaker 1: So the Red Sox have hit him pretty well. Oh,
- 33:27Speaker 1: by the way, I forgot to.
- 33:28Speaker 2: Mention, Jaron Duran is like an elite hitting speed combo,
- 33:33Speaker 2: basically unlike anything that we've seen. He's He's in some
- 33:37Speaker 2: lists for like the hitting speed combo that not a
- 33:40Speaker 2: lot of guys make this list, like for like amount
- 33:42Speaker 2: of triples and home runs to start out a career.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Jared Duran excellent.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Hitter as well. Narvaillez is actually a really good hitter
- 33:50Speaker 1: as well.
- 33:50Speaker 2: Though he was the one that got called for catcher
- 33:52Speaker 2: interference to lose the game last night. I think it
- 33:55Speaker 2: was kind of a bullshit call, though I don't think
- 33:58Speaker 2: it was really his fault. And yeah, I mean Narvaias
- 34:01Speaker 2: has been pretty good for them as well. Yankees probably
- 34:03Speaker 2: shouldn't let him go. But anyway, the Red Sox may
- 34:06Speaker 2: at least be able to hit Sanchez because they have
- 34:09Speaker 2: actually done it before. We will say, the money in
- 34:14Speaker 2: this game seems like it's coming in on the under
- 34:16Speaker 2: fifty three percent of the tickets, fifty eight percent of
- 34:18Speaker 2: cash on the under. Totals flip from eight and a
- 34:20Speaker 2: half juice to the over, to juice to the under.
- 34:23Speaker 2: I hesitate a little bit on that with I think
- 34:26Speaker 2: offenses that could potentially do some damage. I don't know
- 34:29Speaker 2: if we could trust fits Red Sox might be able
- 34:32Speaker 2: to hit Sanchez based on the matchup numbers, and yeah,
- 34:35Speaker 2: I mean I don't think I trust Philadelphia's bullpen e either,
- 34:38Speaker 2: so I worry about that. A little bit money seems
- 34:40Speaker 2: to also be coming in on the Red Sox a
- 34:42Speaker 2: little bit. Philly a huge favorite, but down for minus
- 34:44Speaker 2: two hundred to minus seventy nine percent of the tickets
- 34:48Speaker 2: seventy five percent of the cash, so more of the
- 34:51Speaker 2: cash is coming in on the side of the Red Sox. Yeah,
- 34:56Speaker 2: I mean it was not the greatest night for Narvaias
- 34:58Speaker 2: as a catcher there.
- 35:00Speaker 1: The juice is also referred.
- 35:03Speaker 2: To as the vague basically, which is the that's the
- 35:06Speaker 2: amount that the books take. So typically if you're betting
- 35:09Speaker 2: like a spread or something like that. Baseball is not
- 35:12Speaker 2: a spread sport really, but if you're betting a spread
- 35:14Speaker 2: or a total, the books typically will try to put
- 35:19Speaker 2: a minus one ten price on it, which means that
- 35:22Speaker 2: you have to pay one hundred and ten to win
- 35:24Speaker 2: one hundred, if that makes sense. That's how the books
- 35:27Speaker 2: make money, right. They want to split the amount of
- 35:29Speaker 2: money evenly on both sides of that ideally, so fifty
- 35:32Speaker 2: percent is split between both and if that's the case,
- 35:35Speaker 2: that means they're gonna the books are gonna win money
- 35:37Speaker 2: regardless of the outcome because they charge you ten percent
- 35:40Speaker 2: to make the bets.
- 35:41Speaker 1: That's what the veg is. You have to pay one
- 35:42Speaker 1: hundred and ten to win one hundred.
- 35:44Speaker 2: As a better you have to win like fifty four
- 35:46Speaker 2: percent of your bets to actually overcome that and actually
- 35:49Speaker 2: make money. But in baseball, like in totals like this
- 35:54Speaker 2: and whatever, the juice will move around because you're dealing
- 35:57Speaker 2: with like some kind of small numbers, like small numbers
- 36:00Speaker 2: here where the books are gonna say, well, we just
- 36:02Speaker 2: don't want to put a minus one ten on either
- 36:04Speaker 2: side of this number. We'll just we'll move the price
- 36:07Speaker 2: on that number instead. So like they moved this eight
- 36:10Speaker 2: and a half from minus one fifteen to minus one
- 36:13Speaker 2: or excuse me, minus one fifteen on the over all
- 36:15Speaker 2: the way to minus one sixteen on the under. So
- 36:19Speaker 2: that does mean that money came in on the under.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Uh in this case, I would believe, because that would
- 36:23Speaker 2: be really the only reason why the books would shift
- 36:26Speaker 2: the juice, which means that you were having to pay
- 36:28Speaker 2: more to get the over at first, but now you're
- 36:29Speaker 2: having to pay more to.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Get the under.
- 36:31Speaker 2: Hopefully that's a decent explanation of that. Hopefully that makes sense.
- 36:36Speaker 2: I'm not sure what we're talking about there. Better off dead. Yeah,
- 36:40Speaker 2: all right, So yeah, that's the other breakdown on that one, Cincinnati, Washington.
- 36:46Speaker 2: I'm gonna skip because I actually am gonna give out
- 36:47Speaker 2: a play on that, and I'm giving out a play
- 36:49Speaker 2: as you can see in the title on Yankees Blue
- 36:51Speaker 2: Jays Anaheim Mets. Mets won the game high scoring game
- 36:57Speaker 2: yesterday seven to seven to five. Sega actually was pretty
- 37:02Speaker 2: bad in the game yesterday and got taken out pretty early,
- 37:04Speaker 2: which is kind of surprising. Which does mean that the
- 37:06Speaker 2: Mets used a lot of their bullpen yesterday and Anaheim
- 37:09Speaker 2: doesn't have a good bullpen, so could potentially make sense
- 37:14Speaker 2: in this game to fade both bullpens in this game
- 37:17Speaker 2: if you are potentially thinking about that. Kyle Hendricks is
- 37:20Speaker 2: going to be starting for Anaheim. Not a huge fan
- 37:23Speaker 2: of this guy. I mean, he's old.
- 37:24Speaker 1: At this point.
- 37:25Speaker 2: I was definitely a fan of fading him when he
- 37:27Speaker 2: was on the Cubs in recent years. He's done a
- 37:30Speaker 2: little bit better this year at times, but his numbers
- 37:33Speaker 2: are not very good still. Four point eight to eighty
- 37:35Speaker 2: RA one point two to nine WHIP not great numbers
- 37:38Speaker 2: for Hendrix. He's been worse on the road as well,
- 37:41Speaker 2: five point four road ERA, and he's not pitching.
- 37:44Speaker 1: That well recently.
- 37:45Speaker 2: He gave up four runs, four earned runs, and three
- 37:48Speaker 2: and two thirds last time out of Gains a pretty
- 37:49Speaker 2: bad Texas offense, so that's not really not a great
- 37:54Speaker 2: sign for him, although he does still have a five
- 37:56Speaker 2: to one strike a walk ratio this month and last
- 37:58Speaker 2: month twenty one to five with a three point two
- 38:01Speaker 2: to one ERA, and Anaheim actually has won five of
- 38:04Speaker 2: his last seven starts, which actually isn't that bad.
- 38:07Speaker 1: So he is.
- 38:08Speaker 2: He's pitching okay, but his last start was kind of
- 38:10Speaker 2: an indicator that maybe he's falling out of form.
- 38:12Speaker 1: His numbers against the Mets are.
- 38:14Speaker 2: Not great and sixty at bats twelve to six, strikeout
- 38:16Speaker 2: walk ratio two eighty three average, seven eighty four ops allowed.
- 38:22Speaker 2: So Hendricks, Uh, maybe somebody you could fade here. He's
- 38:26Speaker 2: gonna be opposed by Frankie Montas, who had a late
- 38:28Speaker 2: start to the season here trying to come back from injury.
- 38:31Speaker 2: His ERA is bad five point oh three, but his
- 38:34Speaker 2: whip is not that bad one point one seven whip
- 38:38Speaker 2: this season. He's been good at home though, three point
- 38:41Speaker 2: three eighty R. But again it is a small sample size.
- 38:43Speaker 2: But the Mets did win his last two starts. Last
- 38:46Speaker 2: time out, he had a pretty good one against Kansas City.
- 38:48Speaker 2: But that's a very bad offense there. Uh, fuck you,
- 38:54Speaker 2: get out of my stream. Costs eat my ass, bitch.
- 38:58Speaker 2: I got fucking canceled due so if people want to
- 39:00Speaker 2: help me out, they're certainly allowed to fuck off. Get
- 39:04Speaker 2: out of my fucking stream. Cubert, what's up man? You're yeah, Jesus,
- 39:10Speaker 2: that is a nine to nine nine. That's the that's
- 39:12Speaker 2: the opposite of of six six six, I guess.
- 39:16Speaker 1: Uh.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Anyway, I don't know if I'm impressed by Montas having
- 39:19Speaker 2: a good start against Kansas City, but I mean he
- 39:21Speaker 2: had an okay start against the uh Yankees.
- 39:26Speaker 1: The day before that.
- 39:27Speaker 2: By the way, I've also I've paid my fucking dues.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Uh brother, you know how many You know how much
- 39:31Speaker 2: I paid in fucking taxes being a fucking software engineer
- 39:35Speaker 2: for like eighteen fucking years.
- 39:37Speaker 1: I've made a lot of money.
- 39:38Speaker 2: And I've worked every fucking day for like two decades
- 39:41Speaker 2: in my life.
- 39:41Speaker 1: So fuck off costs.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Montas against uh Anaheim numbers are all over the place, man,
- 39:50Speaker 2: It's hard to read into these numbers. Seventy at batsy's
- 39:52Speaker 2: on to two twenty nine average, which is pretty good.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Seven thirty six ops not as good.
- 39:57Speaker 2: A fourteen to eight strike a walk ratio is not
- 40:00Speaker 2: You're going to have four home runs allowed, two of
- 40:02Speaker 2: them from LaMonte Wade Junior. So I don't know if
- 40:06Speaker 2: we trust either starting pitcher here man. So, and I
- 40:09Speaker 2: don't like how the bullpen's set up here, So I
- 40:11Speaker 2: would lean to an over in this game. And when
- 40:14Speaker 2: I looked earlier, I think the market wasn't agreeing with
- 40:16Speaker 2: me on that looks like.
- 40:17Speaker 1: It kind of is.
- 40:18Speaker 2: I mean, the books threw out a nine on this,
- 40:21Speaker 2: which is a high total, So you know, I mean
- 40:25Speaker 2: a total is that high for a reason. Although I'm
- 40:27Speaker 2: gonna kind of contradict myself when I talk about the
- 40:30Speaker 2: Yankees game, so now you know where I'm going with
- 40:32Speaker 2: that game. But this game total is very high for
- 40:35Speaker 2: a reason. I mean it's bordering on being ten. We
- 40:37Speaker 2: have eighty one percent of tickets, ninety nine percent of
- 40:39Speaker 2: the cash on the over. That is the way that
- 40:41Speaker 2: I would look in that game would be for another
- 40:43Speaker 2: high scoring game there, San Francisco at Atlanta. Atlanta lost
- 40:48Speaker 2: or excuse me, one nine to five yesterday excusing Hayden.
- 40:51Speaker 2: Birds Song in this game didn't even record an out
- 40:54Speaker 2: and he allowed five earned runs on one hit. I mean,
- 40:58Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen anything like that. I
- 41:00Speaker 2: think he had five walks. It was a ridiculous start
- 41:04Speaker 2: for birds Song. Terrible start, which meant that the Giants,
- 41:08Speaker 2: even though yes, the Giants have basically the best bullpen
- 41:11Speaker 2: in the major leagues. They had to use a lot
- 41:13Speaker 2: of their bullpen yesterday, so the Giants bullpen a little
- 41:16Speaker 2: bit more tired here. Braves didn't have to use as
- 41:18Speaker 2: much of their bullpen as they at least got a
- 41:20Speaker 2: somewhat deep start from Bryce Elder, even though he's not
- 41:23Speaker 2: very good either. I think I did say the over
- 41:25Speaker 2: kind of made sense in that game yesterday, hopefully I did.
- 41:29Speaker 2: Lucas hard R, well, he's better than these fucking Twitter assholes.
- 41:35Speaker 1: Will's what's up? Man? Fuck the Yankees? That's right man.
- 41:39Speaker 2: As a Red Sox fan, obviously I agree, dude. These
- 41:41Speaker 2: people are all all they are is these progressive, perpetually offended,
- 41:47Speaker 2: woke losers that are offended by me covering a Kanye
- 41:51Speaker 2: West song on ukulele in the most retarded fashion possible,
- 41:56Speaker 2: Like just like, screw you, dude, these people. All these
- 42:02Speaker 2: people do is promote cancel culture. They do not promote
- 42:06Speaker 2: free speech in any way. It's just disgusting. They all
- 42:10Speaker 2: they do is side with the fucking government and side
- 42:13Speaker 2: with the regime anyway.
- 42:16Speaker 1: San Francisco and Lanta, I think San Francisco's bullpen.
- 42:18Speaker 2: Edge is a little bit negated because of all the
- 42:20Speaker 2: bullpen that they used yesterday. Landon Raup is pitching for
- 42:23Speaker 2: them today. He's been really hard to predict. Three point
- 42:28Speaker 2: two seven ERA and one point four or five whips,
- 42:30Speaker 2: so his ERA is good and his whip is bad.
- 42:33Speaker 2: So he's one of these pitchers that's really hard to
- 42:36Speaker 2: figure out. Four point five to six road ye Ray,
- 42:39Speaker 2: so he's not been good on the road. He's better
- 42:41Speaker 2: in a pitcher friendly park in San Francisco. He's been
- 42:45Speaker 2: pitching okay recently.
- 42:47Speaker 1: I mean he's given up two or fewer runs.
- 42:49Speaker 2: And five straight starts in San Francisco one four out
- 42:51Speaker 2: of the five, even though San Francisco's offense is terrible,
- 42:54Speaker 2: and the only game he lost, he gave up one
- 42:57Speaker 2: or one run in six innings and had eight strikes
- 43:00Speaker 2: out some one walk against the Dodgers. That was a
- 43:02Speaker 2: great start for him, but his walk rate has been terrible,
- 43:06Speaker 2: and all the other starts leading up to that, he
- 43:07Speaker 2: walked at least two in every start going all the
- 43:10Speaker 2: way back to mid May prior to that, So not
- 43:14Speaker 2: all is good with Ralph. I mean, he has some
- 43:16Speaker 2: crazy breaking pitches that it seems like he struggles to
- 43:19Speaker 2: command at times. So it's very difficult to figure out
- 43:22Speaker 2: what we're gonna get out of Ralph. He does have
- 43:23Speaker 2: good numbers in thirty at bats against Atlanta, and they
- 43:25Speaker 2: only have five hits one sixty seven average four nineteen ops.
- 43:30Speaker 1: So maybe maybe Raub will do okay in this game.
- 43:34Speaker 1: It's very hard to predict.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Again, Yeah, I mean getting mad about that. It's these
- 43:38Speaker 2: perpetually offended bitches. Man, Yes, thank you, thank you, everybuddy.
- 43:44Speaker 1: God.
- 43:44Speaker 2: I hate that song so much. Watch me whip and
- 43:48Speaker 2: watch me nay nay. I wish it was I wish
- 43:50Speaker 2: you made a Devo reference instead.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Man, when the hitter comes.
- 43:58Speaker 2: Along, you must whip it all right, Davis Daniel is
- 44:03Speaker 2: gonna be pitching for Atlanta. I don't know what we're
- 44:05Speaker 2: gonna get out of this guy either. This is maybe
- 44:06Speaker 2: the most unpredictable game of the day. Daniel as good
- 44:10Speaker 2: looking numbers one point eight e R and one whip,
- 44:12Speaker 2: but he does not have a big sample size that
- 44:16Speaker 2: we're looking at here. He's only pitched in two games
- 44:18Speaker 2: this season, the Braves lost both of them. He's pitched
- 44:21Speaker 2: five innings totals so far, six strikeouts, three walks. Is
- 44:24Speaker 2: in a great ratio, but only two hits a lot
- 44:26Speaker 2: in one run, so that's not too bad. What are
- 44:29Speaker 2: we gonna get out of Davis Daniel? I really don't know, man,
- 44:32Speaker 2: I mean, we don't even have a whole lot of
- 44:34Speaker 2: a career to look at here. He was on Anaheim
- 44:36Speaker 2: the last two seasons. Did make six starts last year,
- 44:39Speaker 2: but it wasn't good. He had a six point two
- 44:41Speaker 2: to three e R and one point four to eight
- 44:42Speaker 2: whip good strike out walk ratio. But he got hammered
- 44:46Speaker 2: last year. He was drunk all the time, I mean,
- 44:48Speaker 2: because he was doing so bad. No, he although being
- 44:52Speaker 2: drunk could help you, man, if you're Wade Boggs, the
- 44:55Speaker 2: most elite UH drink er.
- 44:58Speaker 1: Excuse the in Major League hiss.
- 45:00Speaker 2: By the way, if people are not familiar with the lore,
- 45:02Speaker 2: do not watch It's always sunny in Philadelphia. Wade Boggs
- 45:06Speaker 2: drank a ridiculous amount of beer on a cross country flight.
- 45:09Speaker 1: They landed and he went three.
- 45:11Speaker 2: For five with like multiple doubles and a few RBIs
- 45:14Speaker 2: against Oakland, basically still drunk coming off the plane. The
- 45:19Speaker 2: number of beers that he drank on the plane is
- 45:21Speaker 2: now up till like some exaggerated amount of like seventy three,
- 45:24Speaker 2: but I believe that he probably drank like thirty something
- 45:27Speaker 2: beers on that flight. I mean they were light beers,
- 45:30Speaker 2: probably at the very least. But anyway, Daniel, I mean
- 45:33Speaker 2: his numbers were not good last year. He gave up
- 45:35Speaker 2: a lot of hard hits last year even though he
- 45:37Speaker 2: wasn't that wild. So what are we gonna get out
- 45:39Speaker 2: of Daniel? I have no clue, dude. The Giants have
- 45:42Speaker 2: never seen him before, and they are a weak offense.
- 45:45Speaker 2: I mean a game like this, I go and I say, well,
- 45:48Speaker 2: what is the market telling us on this game? I
- 45:51Speaker 2: mean the market is the strongest market read is on
- 45:55Speaker 2: the Braves. They're up for minus one or nine to
- 45:56Speaker 2: minus win. Eighteen sixty two per tickets are on the Giants,
- 46:00Speaker 2: fifty nine percent of the cash coming in on Atlanta.
- 46:02Speaker 1: I think that's more of.
- 46:03Speaker 2: The professional better is basically just saying we think the
- 46:06Speaker 2: Giants are a little bit overrated and not as good
- 46:08Speaker 2: as their record looks, and we think Atlanta is underrated
- 46:11Speaker 2: and they are better than the record looks. I think
- 46:13Speaker 2: it's probably the only reason why we see the money
- 46:15Speaker 2: doing that. I don't know, man, I don't know if
- 46:18Speaker 2: I could do whip it as a U cover. I
- 46:20Speaker 2: don't know if it would translate at all. You're in Twitter
- 46:23Speaker 2: jail again, Yeah, exactly. Twitter is canceling all these people.
- 46:28Speaker 2: I have a Wade Box jersey, but the autograph I
- 46:30Speaker 2: think is a lot better. I never got his autograph.
- 46:32Speaker 2: I've gotten some older Red Sox player autographs, but not
- 46:36Speaker 2: Wade Bogs. Never seen or met Wade Bogs. White Sox
- 46:40Speaker 2: at Tampa Bay, oh Man, Tampa lost eight to three
- 46:45Speaker 2: yesterday to the White Sox are just crazy. Tampa at
- 46:47Speaker 2: least kind of saved some of their bullpen in that game.
- 46:50Speaker 2: The White Sox use more of their bullpend, so we'll
- 46:52Speaker 2: have to give the bullpen advantage to Tampa here. But
- 46:56Speaker 2: I think we don't know what we're going This is
- 46:57Speaker 2: a hard game to predict, too, man, I don't know
- 46:59Speaker 2: what we're gonna get out of either started here. Davis
- 47:01Speaker 2: Martin is pitching for the White Sox and he is
- 47:03Speaker 2: coming back from the injured list, which I still call
- 47:06Speaker 2: the disabled list, and he was actually pitching pretty well
- 47:08Speaker 2: this season prior to that three point seven to ninety
- 47:11Speaker 2: R one point two to three whip. He wasn't pitching
- 47:14Speaker 2: too badly four point six to two ran the road, though,
- 47:17Speaker 2: so he hasn't better on the road, and this Steinbrenner
- 47:20Speaker 2: Field here is a fairly hitter friendly park. But Davis,
- 47:24Speaker 2: I mean he was pitching mediocre. I mean he did
- 47:26Speaker 2: not give up more than four earned runs in any
- 47:28Speaker 2: start going all the way back to the one start
- 47:30Speaker 2: where he did that at Detroit in early April. Soe
- 47:34Speaker 2: he's pitching fairly consistently. At least had a twelve to
- 47:37Speaker 2: two strike out walk ratio in two starts in June
- 47:39Speaker 2: twenty to six in May not terrible.
- 47:44Speaker 1: His numbers against who are we looking at here? I
- 47:46Speaker 1: don't even know who? Were who? Playing Tampa? Yeah?
- 47:49Speaker 2: Up against Tampa. Oh, ESPN switched it for us already,
- 47:51Speaker 2: thanks ESPN. Tampa only has three hitters. Was seen him
- 47:55Speaker 2: before in the one for four off him with that
- 47:57Speaker 2: Yondi Diaz double, But Diaz also has two walks. Tampa
- 48:01Speaker 2: has three walks against him two fifty average or a
- 48:03Speaker 2: pretty high one thousy seventy one ops. But it's in
- 48:06Speaker 2: a very small sample size. So Martin is pretty unfamiliar
- 48:10Speaker 2: to Tampa. So I don't know if they'll be able
- 48:11Speaker 2: to hit him that well. Tampa has drew Rasmussen pitching.
- 48:14Speaker 2: He's been really good this year, two point eight six ERA,
- 48:18Speaker 2: one point zero three whip, pretty good at home to
- 48:21Speaker 2: two point six four ERA and home. But with Rasmussen,
- 48:26Speaker 2: the thing is, man, he's coming out of pitching in
- 48:28Speaker 2: the All Star Game. He had a clean inning in
- 48:30Speaker 2: the All Star Game. That might have been his first
- 48:32Speaker 2: All Star appearance. So that might affect him a little
- 48:34Speaker 2: bit too, because a guy this old getting into the
- 48:37Speaker 2: All Star Game. I'd have to check to see if
- 48:38Speaker 2: that was his first. I'm not sure, but that might
- 48:41Speaker 2: linger a little bit. But the stranger thing about Rasmussen
- 48:44Speaker 2: is the team decided to like totally ramp down his
- 48:48Speaker 2: innings pitch. Like he was starting and doing pretty well
- 48:51Speaker 2: throughout the season, and then all of a sudden, he
- 48:53Speaker 2: goes three innings, two winnings, two innings, Like, what's going
- 48:55Speaker 2: on here? The Tampa's only letting him pitch three innings
- 48:59Speaker 2: two innings.
- 48:59Speaker 1: Now they're like limiting him to like forty.
- 49:01Speaker 2: To fifty pitches basically in some of these games, thirty
- 49:03Speaker 2: two in one of these games. So I don't really
- 49:05Speaker 2: understand why. I mean, he's not like a young guy
- 49:09Speaker 2: that I think they're trying to like save. I mean,
- 49:11Speaker 2: I think Tampa is trying to make a run at
- 49:13Speaker 2: the playoffs here, and he's been their best starter this year,
- 49:15Speaker 2: so I don't really understand why they're ramping him down
- 49:19Speaker 2: like that, And maybe it was just giving him a
- 49:20Speaker 2: rest going into the All Star break. So I really
- 49:22Speaker 2: have no idea how many innings or Asmusen is going
- 49:25Speaker 2: to pitch in this game. He has decent numbers against
- 49:27Speaker 2: the White Sox, very small fifteen at bat sample size
- 49:30Speaker 2: two sixty seven, average five seventy nine ohps. I'm thinking
- 49:35Speaker 2: an under might make sense in this game, to be honest,
- 49:37Speaker 2: first five inning under probab because I don't think you
- 49:39Speaker 2: want to really deal with the White Sox bullpend necessarily.
- 49:43Speaker 2: It looks like the money disagrees with me on that.
- 49:46Speaker 2: Totals just sitting at eight and a half, sixty seven
- 49:48Speaker 2: percent of tickets and ninety five percent of the cash
- 49:50Speaker 2: on the over. Tampa's a huge favorite in this game
- 49:53Speaker 2: as well, so I don't think I would want to
- 49:54Speaker 2: touch the side at all. But I think a first
- 49:56Speaker 2: five inning under you could be looking at maybe the
- 49:58Speaker 2: starting pitchers both putting to gather a decent performance here, Bogs.
- 50:04Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right.
- 50:04Speaker 2: That was a great Simpsons episode. We're talking soft boom
- 50:09Speaker 2: from Maine to San Diego, soft bom. Manning Lean Kiseko
- 50:14Speaker 2: Can Griffy is grotesquely swollen jaw Can Griffy trinking the
- 50:19Speaker 2: nerve tonic for mister Burns and his head.
- 50:22Speaker 1: Was like about to explode.
- 50:24Speaker 2: Oh man, Yeah, that episode was awesome, and Darryl Strawberry
- 50:27Speaker 2: is the only one who doesn't, which is hilarious because
- 50:30Speaker 2: Daryl Strawberry had so many off field issues.
- 50:33Speaker 1: I think that was part of the joke.
- 50:34Speaker 2: He was the only one on Burns's Ringer softball team
- 50:38Speaker 2: that didn't have any off field issues, and he was
- 50:40Speaker 2: the one that played Holmer's position.
- 50:43Speaker 1: Your Darryl Strawberry, Yeah you play right field? Yeah? I
- 50:47Speaker 1: played right field too.
- 50:49Speaker 2: Oh okay, oh man, yeah, I'll have to go back
- 50:55Speaker 2: and watch that episode again. That is a classic back
- 50:57Speaker 2: when the Simpsons was amazing and they got all those
- 51:03Speaker 2: baseball players to voice themselves too. It was yeah, Ken Griffy, Junior,
- 51:07Speaker 2: Wade Boggs, Mike Soosha I think was in it. Steve
- 51:12Speaker 2: sachs Uh yeah, Darryl Strawberry. Who else was in it?
- 51:15Speaker 2: I forget, I forget all the players that were in it.
- 51:17Speaker 2: But there were eight of them, I think, or no,
- 51:20Speaker 2: I guess there were nine, right, because they had to
- 51:22Speaker 2: fill out every position.
- 51:24Speaker 1: I don't remember. Anyway, Kansas City and.
- 51:28Speaker 2: The Cubs, this is a really this is an interesting one.
- 51:31Speaker 1: Man.
- 51:32Speaker 2: Kansas City beat the Cubs yesterday twelve to four, which
- 51:35Speaker 2: is only part of the reason why I'm laughing here.
- 51:37Speaker 2: How does Kansas City score twelve?
- 51:39Speaker 1: Man?
- 51:39Speaker 2: Well, I told you yesterday. I actually leaned to Kansas
- 51:42Speaker 2: City in that game. I should have given it as
- 51:44Speaker 2: a play. Although obviously I didn't expect Kansas City to
- 51:46Speaker 2: score twelve fucking runs. But it was a bullpen game
- 51:49Speaker 2: for the Whites, for the see the White Sox. It
- 51:51Speaker 2: was a bullpen game of the Cubs. I apologize Cubs fans.
- 51:54Speaker 2: You're better than the White Sox in a better part
- 51:57Speaker 2: of town too. Cubs had a bad I mean, they
- 52:01Speaker 2: had a bullpen game, and the bullpen just got absolutely
- 52:03Speaker 2: destroyed in the game. And Noah Cameron had a really
- 52:06Speaker 2: nice start for Kansas City. Over though he did a
- 52:08Speaker 2: lot of four runs, he pitched pretty well in the game,
- 52:10Speaker 2: so it was an easy win for the Royals, and
- 52:12Speaker 2: I did mention yesterday I preferred Cameron over that bullpend game.
- 52:17Speaker 2: But the Cubs are gonna come into this game pretty embarrassed,
- 52:20Speaker 2: I think, man off of that loss, and they are
- 52:22Speaker 2: obviously a giant favorite.
- 52:23Speaker 1: Here. Part of the reason why and part of the
- 52:26Speaker 1: reason why I'm laughing so much.
- 52:27Speaker 2: I'm about to laugh at your team, Zach here, Greg Mannox,
- 52:31Speaker 2: I don't think he was one of them.
- 52:33Speaker 1: I'll have to go back, dude.
- 52:34Speaker 2: I'm a Simpsons like expert two, so I should remember this,
- 52:37Speaker 2: but I actually don't. I'll have to go back and
- 52:40Speaker 2: look exactly, Zach. That is what I'm about to make
- 52:44Speaker 2: fun of and laugh at here. Rich Hill is pitching
- 52:47Speaker 2: for Kansas City here, and he has been in the
- 52:51Speaker 2: majors since. A couple of his teammates, like I think
- 52:55Speaker 2: Witt and one of the other guys on Kansas City
- 52:58Speaker 2: were like four and two years old when rich Hill
- 53:02Speaker 2: started pitching in the majors, which is pretty hilarious, but uh,
- 53:06Speaker 2: hockey is even crazier, dude. In hockey, you have a
- 53:09Speaker 2: Ovechkin was in the NHL before Connor Bedard was born,
- 53:13Speaker 2: which is even more crazy. But anyway, Rich Hill is
- 53:17Speaker 2: coming back.
- 53:18Speaker 1: Man.
- 53:18Speaker 2: He actually made a few appearances last year from my
- 53:20Speaker 2: Boston Red Sox. He's from Boston, mass Baby, he's my guy.
- 53:24Speaker 2: I love Rich Hill. He had a four point nine
- 53:27Speaker 2: to one and one point h nine whip last year
- 53:29Speaker 2: and like, I don't know, four or five appearances maybe
- 53:32Speaker 2: for the Red Sox last year. He wasn't horrific, but
- 53:34Speaker 2: he wasn't great either. He did struggle with the walks
- 53:38Speaker 2: I think last year. He's forty five years old though. Man,
- 53:41Speaker 2: he's the oldest player in the league, and he's actually
- 53:44Speaker 2: gonna be making a start year, which is complete madness
- 53:48Speaker 2: to me. Man, I mean, I don't even know what
- 53:49Speaker 2: to say about this, although you got to imagine he's
- 53:52Speaker 2: probably only gonna go like one to two innings at most.
- 53:55Speaker 1: As you could see with the Red Sox.
- 53:56Speaker 2: It was four appearances that he made last year out
- 53:58Speaker 2: of a bullpen, and he pitched at most one in
- 54:02Speaker 2: the third innings in any of those appearances.
- 54:04Speaker 1: The Red Sox lost all four of those games.
- 54:07Speaker 2: Not really his fault though, because he only allowed runs
- 54:09Speaker 2: in one of the four appearances and had a five
- 54:12Speaker 2: to three strike at walk ratio, and me take from
- 54:14Speaker 2: that what you will. I guess he did walk too
- 54:17Speaker 2: many guys last year. Rich Hill up against the Chicago Cubs.
- 54:21Speaker 2: Not very good in his career in thirty eight at bats,
- 54:24Speaker 2: three sixteen batting average in eight ninety two ops.
- 54:27Speaker 1: So the Cubs have hit him pretty well.
- 54:30Speaker 2: And he actually was on the Cubs he's now, dude,
- 54:32Speaker 2: this is it's all so funny.
- 54:34Speaker 1: Dude.
- 54:35Speaker 2: He was on the Red Sox actually multiple different times.
- 54:39Speaker 2: He was on the Cubs to start his career, and
- 54:42Speaker 2: now he's pitching as a forty five year old against
- 54:45Speaker 2: the first team.
- 54:46Speaker 1: That he pitched four in the majors.
- 54:48Speaker 2: He's going up against his boys, the Cubs, so it
- 54:51Speaker 2: might be a little bit of an emotional game for him.
- 54:53Speaker 2: But again, I don't think we're gonna get more than
- 54:55Speaker 2: like one inning on a Rich Hill man. I think
- 54:57Speaker 2: it's just a thing like we're looking at probably a
- 55:00Speaker 2: bullpen game for Kansas City here. I didn't use any
- 55:03Speaker 2: of their high leverage relief guys yesterday, so that's good.
- 55:05Speaker 1: At least.
- 55:06Speaker 2: The Cubs didn't really use any of their really good
- 55:08Speaker 2: relief pitchers either, because they used Ben Brown to eat
- 55:11Speaker 2: up a lot of innings yesterday and he was a
- 55:13Speaker 2: guy in there starting rotation. So the bullpens are both
- 55:16Speaker 2: actually pretty good and in decent shape coming into this.
- 55:20Speaker 2: But I mean the Cubs at Matthew Boyd pitching man,
- 55:23Speaker 2: he's been really good. Two point three four ERA, one
- 55:26Speaker 2: point zero three whip. He's having a shockingly good season
- 55:29Speaker 2: at the age of thirty four. I don't know where
- 55:32Speaker 2: this is coming from, but I'm not gonna argue with it, man,
- 55:34Speaker 2: because he's been that good twenty to two strikeout walk
- 55:38Speaker 2: ratio this month. Cubs have won four starts in a
- 55:41Speaker 2: row of hiss and he's allowed zero earn runs in
- 55:43Speaker 2: three of those four starts, two in the other one.
- 55:46Speaker 1: And he's coming up an eight inning, four hit shot.
- 55:48Speaker 2: Out against the Yankees, six ks and no walks. He's
- 55:53Speaker 2: been really outstanding, man. I had a one point seven
- 55:56Speaker 2: to eighty r in June with an eighteen to six
- 55:58Speaker 2: strike a walk ratio point nine in the month of
- 56:01Speaker 2: July with that twenty to two strang a walker ratio. Yeah,
- 56:04Speaker 2: Boyd has been great, and he's facing a bad Royal
- 56:07Speaker 2: offense here. But the Royals did explode last night and
- 56:09Speaker 2: the Royals in seventy eight at bats actually have a
- 56:12Speaker 2: two to eighty two batting average against him in seven
- 56:14Speaker 2: eighty seven ops, so the Royals have actually hit Boyd
- 56:19Speaker 2: fairly well actually, and he was in their division because
- 56:22Speaker 2: Boyd was on Cleveland, so the Royals are actually familiar
- 56:25Speaker 2: with Boyd. So Boyd might not do as great in
- 56:28Speaker 2: this game, although a lot of that damage is Perez.
- 56:30Speaker 2: Perez is twelve for forty nine off him, so he
- 56:33Speaker 2: has most the majority of the bats, really more than
- 56:36Speaker 2: half of them. But two forty five averages isn't that good.
- 56:41Speaker 2: But he does have two of them runs off him. Uh. Still, Boyd,
- 56:44Speaker 2: I mean, not great numbers against Kansas City. So what
- 56:46Speaker 2: do we want to do with this game? It's pretty
- 56:49Speaker 2: difficult to say, man. I mean, I saw Zach said
- 56:52Speaker 2: Clubs first five. I mean I don't hate that. I mean,
- 56:57Speaker 2: if you think Boyd will do well in this game
- 56:59Speaker 2: as he has been doing all season, maybe, I mean
- 57:02Speaker 2: the Cubs are a huge favorite, though, if you go
- 57:03Speaker 2: Cubs first five, it has to be a run line play.
- 57:06Speaker 1: Dude.
- 57:06Speaker 2: You're gonna need them to be winning after five innings,
- 57:08Speaker 2: which is certainly obviously possible. I mean they're a big
- 57:11Speaker 2: favorite here, you're gonna get Rich Hill and then some
- 57:14Speaker 2: Kansas City relief pitchers.
- 57:16Speaker 1: Here.
- 57:17Speaker 2: Cubs are down for minus two fifteen to mis two
- 57:18Speaker 2: twenty nine, eighty three percent of tickets, eighty five percent
- 57:21Speaker 2: of the cash on the Cubs. So the money looks
- 57:25Speaker 2: like it started to come in on the Cubs. But
- 57:27Speaker 2: if the initial market move was against the Cubs, so
- 57:30Speaker 2: it's hard to read that.
- 57:32Speaker 1: It looks like more money's coming in on the over.
- 57:34Speaker 2: Sixty five percent of tickets on the over, ninety seven
- 57:37Speaker 2: percent of the cash on the over, and the total
- 57:39Speaker 2: is nine, probably indicating there might be some wind blowing
- 57:42Speaker 2: out a little bit at Wrigley, I would guess, because
- 57:44Speaker 2: with Boyd on the hill and with Kansas City up
- 57:47Speaker 2: against him, you're probably not gonna see a total that
- 57:49Speaker 2: high unless the wind is blowing out.
- 57:52Speaker 1: That would be my guest there.
- 57:53Speaker 2: So maybe an over is actually the way to look,
- 57:56Speaker 2: or you know what, Cubs team total over might not
- 57:59Speaker 2: be a bad way to look in this game. Take
- 58:01Speaker 2: the Cubs to bounce back in this embarrassed spot here,
- 58:04Speaker 2: that might be the way to look in that game. Really, Man,
- 58:07Speaker 2: the A's are at Texas here, yeah, we're dealing with
- 58:10Speaker 2: a severe case of gigantism Ken Griffy Junior with his
- 58:15Speaker 2: swollen jaw and head from Burn's nerve tonic.
- 58:19Speaker 1: The A's are at Texas.
- 58:21Speaker 2: I lost this game yesterday, unfortunately, Texas seven to two win.
- 58:25Speaker 2: I don't even want to talk about that any further.
- 58:28Speaker 2: We do have to look at what the bullpen usage
- 58:30Speaker 2: was though, and the A's, I mean, their bullpen isn't
- 58:33Speaker 2: good anyway. There wasn't a ton of bullpen usage in
- 58:35Speaker 2: this game on either side. The A's bullpen is obviously
- 58:38Speaker 2: worse though. The A's have the worst bullpen in baseball,
- 58:42Speaker 2: and the A's are going with j. T. Gin, which
- 58:44Speaker 2: might not be good for them either. He's starting for
- 58:46Speaker 2: them four point nine to one e R one point
- 58:49Speaker 2: three whip not great numbers, pretty similar home and away,
- 58:54Speaker 2: so not really a huge difference, even though he pitches
- 58:57Speaker 2: in a very hitter friendly park.
- 58:59Speaker 1: But he has not been go deep into games man.
- 59:01Speaker 2: So I think the takeaway here is that Gin is
- 59:04Speaker 2: probably not gonna be in the game for a whole
- 59:05Speaker 2: long time. He's probably only gonna go somewhere around two
- 59:09Speaker 2: winnings in this game, and then you're gonna get the
- 59:10Speaker 2: A's bullpen coming into this game again when he's in there.
- 59:14Speaker 2: He also doesn't have good numbers against Texas, even though
- 59:17Speaker 2: they've been a very weak offense this year. In twenty
- 59:20Speaker 2: two at bats, they have a three sixty four average
- 59:22Speaker 2: in one three oh ps against Ginn. So I'm not
- 59:26Speaker 2: expecting anything good out of the A's pitching in this game.
- 59:29Speaker 2: Man and Jacob deGrom Is pitching for Texas. He's been
- 59:32Speaker 2: great two point three two ERA point nine to one
- 59:35Speaker 2: WHIP and I know he set some major league record
- 59:38Speaker 2: where he became the only pitcher in their first I
- 59:42Speaker 2: don't even know how many innings it is with I
- 59:45Speaker 2: don't know some amount of innings pitched in the major leagues.
- 59:47Speaker 1: I guess having a two point.
- 59:51Speaker 2: Five or lower career ERA and seventeen hundred or more strikeouts,
- 59:56Speaker 2: he's like the only pitcher that's ever done that.
- 59:59Speaker 1: Crazy. I mean, he's been really good this year.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: As a thirty seven year old, he's been basically dominant.
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: He's been really good at home one point nine to
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: five home ERA pitching well.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: Recently, he's allowed.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: No more than three or runs in any start going
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: all the way back to Tampa Bay facing Tampa Bay
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: on April fifth. That was the only time that ever happened.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Texas did win all of his starts in June. They
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: actually won six starts in a row before they lost
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: two of his starts recently, which wasn't really his fault.
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: He was still pretty good in those starts. Maybe a
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: little bit worse.
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: I'm not totally dominant like he has been, but still
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: pitching quite well. Three point seven to one ERA this
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: month in the nineteen to four strike a walk ratio.
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: He gets the All Star break to kind of rest
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: up a little bit, which I think is helpful to
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: a veteran like him. I think he should come out
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: with some fire here. He's got pretty good numbers against
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: the A's in his career in fifty three at bats
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: twelve to one strike a walk ratio, two forty five average,
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: six seventy four ops.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: Really good numbers there.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: So even though the a is two of the way
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: better offense instead is their one advantage here, most of
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: the advantages all go to Texas man. I think pitching
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: beats hitting, which it did unfortunately yesterday because I liked
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: the A's yesterday. But in this spot, I mean, you
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: have basically one of the top pitchers in baseball up
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: against a bulp end game, and it's the worst of
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: the two teams going with a bulp end game. So
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: you know, Texas is really the only way that I
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: think you could look in this game, even though the
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: money is coming in against it, which is kind of surprising.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: Texas down for minus two forty five to minus two fourteen,
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: maybe just thinking they were too heavy of a favorite.
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: Ninety one percent tickets only seventy nine percent of the cash,
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: And I will say the one drawback with Texas is like, yes,
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: I think the way that you would have to play
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: this is the Texas run line, but then they don't
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: get the final of bats and the ninth didn because
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: they're at home.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: If they're already winning, they won't bat in the ninth.
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: But Texas is such a poor scoring offense. So that's
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: the one real drawback there. If you think this is
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: gonna be a low scoring game, it has a seven
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: and a half total there, So the osmakers are telling
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: you it's probably gonna be low scoring. It's gonna make
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: it a little bit more difficult for Texas to cover
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: a number like that, So that's kind of the drawback there.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: Saint Louis at Colorado, Oh god, I mean this is bad.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: Saint Louis won sixty two yesterday. I mean, I don't
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: love either bullpen here, and I don't love either starter here.
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: So I'm gonna say this is probably an overlook in
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: this game. I don't think we want to go into
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: it too deeply. Eric Fetti is pitching for the Cardinals.
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: You know, I've been fading him recently, and he's not good.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: Four point eight three ERA and one point four to
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: seven whip pretty bad. He is a little bit better
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: on the road four point two to four e RA,
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: but he's pitching a cords field here, which might not
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: be great. He's gone five or fewer innings and five
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: straight starts. Saint Louis has lost four starts in a
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: row of his hell lot three or more earned runs
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: in all of those starts. He has not been pitching
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: well at all this month. He has a one to
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: five strike a walk ratio, which is absolutely abysmal. One
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: strikeout this month's so arm Fetti is not in good form.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: Man. His numbers are good again.
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: The Rockies, I mean their offense sucks twenty seven at
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: bats two fifty nine average six sixty seven ops. But
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: I have no faith in Fetti right now, man, so
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: I would not want to bank on him at all.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: Fetti Wop, Yeah, that's that is his nickname.
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: Also that he's the Fetti wet ass pussy as well.
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: He's going up against Bradley Blaylock, who is a young
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: pitcher who might get it together, but he has the
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: very very tough ask of having to pitch in Colorado.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: A nine point nine to seventy RA one point eight whip.
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: I mean, yet those numbers are real, real bad, and
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: pitching a Corus field has in really bad for him
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: sixteen point seven to sixty RA. He is not a
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: guy that you want to bank on. Even though he
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: did hold Cincinnati to one run in his last start,
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: but he only had one strikeouts. He's not a guy
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: that's coming in and fooling hitters at all. Doesn't have
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: strikeouts stuff. He's given up too many home runs, giving
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: up too many hits. I mean, it doesn't look good
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: for Blaylock. Cardinals have never seen him before, but I
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: don't think that's even gonna help him really. Even though
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: the young pitchers can have an upper hand against opposing
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: hitters when they haven't seen him before.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: But I don't think that's gonna be the case there.
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: I think this is an over game and the oddsmakers
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: have had to adjust these Rockies games way high. I mean,
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: this is an insane total of twelve, So I don't
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: know that you really want to go over a total
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: that's that high, but it is that high for a reason.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: I know the oddsmakers are having to adjust the totals really, really,
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: really high in Colorado, even though Colorado's offense is terrible.
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: So maybe this is over adjusted at this point because
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: usually you see ten, ten and a half eleven, So
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: this is crazy high, but it might be that high
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: for a reason. Sixty four percent of the tickets, ninety
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: one percent of the cash on the over. I would
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: still lean to the over in that one, but if
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: you do that, you're really gonna be sweating and needing
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: some runs there.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Yes, Sir.
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: Houston at Arizona, this is an interesting game. Houston won
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: yesterday six to three to break Arizona's win streak they
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: had going on there. Zach Gallon, actually, I think he
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: didn't pitch badly. He went six innings, six strikeouts. I
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: think he had one walk or something, but he got
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: hit a little bit hard kind of some untimely hitting
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: against him. There are timely hitting for the Astros against him,
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: so he wound up losing the game even though he
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: actually had a better pitching line in my opinion than
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: Colton Gordon did. Houston did have to use their best
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: relievers to finish the game off yesterday and get the save.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: Houston does still have the better bullpen though, I mean,
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: Arizona's bullpen is really bad, so I still think Houston
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: probably has the bullpen advantage in this game, and they
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: have from Bervaldez pitching, and he's been really good this
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: season two point seven to five ERA, one point one
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: two whip worse on the road, though he's been a
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: lot better at home. On the road, he has a
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: four point two ERA, so he hasn't been worse on
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: the road. But recently, I mean his one bad start
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: recently was not even that bad against the Dodgers. He
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: gave up four runs on the road against the Dodgers,
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: which still isn't even that bad in six innings, And
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: if you take that start out, he hasn't allowed more
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: than tour in runs and any start going all the
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: way back to May eighteenth, and he had an alum
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: with the three earn runs going all the way back
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: to May seconds. He's been really, really good, and I
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: believe we're up to the point now where Houston has
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: won I think twelve straight starts for Valdez, so they're
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: winning behind him, and that's a crazy run to be on.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: And his numbers are actually.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: Completely almost completely dominant against Arizona. They're only eight for
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: fifty six off him, one forty three batting average, three
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: ninety three oh ps. They do have eight walks though,
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: sixteen to eight strike a walk ratio, although four of
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: the walks are Suarez, so it's kind of like he
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: pitches around Suarez. So it does look like this sets
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: up nicely for Valdez. He's up against e rod Eduardo Rodriguez,
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: who has been struggling this season five point nine four ERA,
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: one point six to seven whip. He's kind of trying
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: to bounce back from injuries throughout his career. Man he
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: used to be a pretty good pitcher. He is not
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: right now. Six point three to two ERA at home
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: in a picture a hit or friendly park, excuse me,
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: which hasn't been good. He's been really bad this month
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: with a twelve point nine six ERA ten to two
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: strike a walk ratio is not bad, but he's been
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: getting blasted. He's given up five home runs in eight
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: and the third innings this month, twelve earned runs and
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: twenty hits. I mean, he's getting absolutely annihilated. And that
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: was against Kansas City, a terrible offense and San Diego.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: In San Diego's pitcher friendly park, E Rod is not
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: a good forum right now at all. Man, His starting
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: against Miami prior to that was a little bit shaky too, really,
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: with three walks, So he is not doing well against Houston.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: His numbers are not very good either.
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: In fifty three at bats ten to eight strike a
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: walk ratio, Altuve hits him well nine for twenty seven
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: with two hom runs. Astros have a three zero two
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: average against him in nine to twenty two ops. So
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: I'm leaning towards Houston in this game, Man, they have
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: the better They still have the better bullpen, even though
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: they're unrested. They have the better starter. The offense does
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: go to Arizona, I would say, but still I lean
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: to Houston, but the market is telling me no, the
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: market is going way against it.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: Houston down minus one thirty to minus one fifteen, seventy
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: eight percent tickets on them, fifty two percent of the
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: cash coming in on Arizona, though, JC, what's up?
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: Man?
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: Yes, omg hi, So the markt Reed is saying Arizona.
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: The money's all coming in in Arizona. But I would
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: not want to fade Baldez. I think maybe it's just
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: because again the professionals think Houston probably just should not
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: be favored like this on the road. Maybe, But Man,
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: I think this is a fairly sizeable pitching mismatch. You
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: could limit it to first five innings if you want,
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: but I don't even know why you would do that really,
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: because Arizona's bullpen is bad. So even though Houston is
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: a little bit unrested, I would still do it.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: On Milwaukee Seattle.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: This is gonna be the pitching matchup of the day, Man,
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: And it might be under the radar because maybe people
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: still don't know who these pitchers are. But Jacob Mizzierowski
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: is pitching from Milwaukee. Man, the young Fieno who was
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: named to the All Star team, which is absolutely ridiculous
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: to me.
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: Honest.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think he should have been named
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: to the All Star team the fact that he's only
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: made five star so far, although he's been really good,
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: he's only had one bad start, and I think in
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: five starts has a four to one win loss record,
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: already has a two point eight one ERA point nine whip.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: He's been worse on the road though, a six point
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: five to two roadio right, So actually one of his
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: two roads starts was bad, So that was his one
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: bad start was one that was on the road against
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: the Mets. He gave up five and runs in three
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: and two thirds. Other than that, he's been excellent, though
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: his thirty three strike cuts in twenty five and two
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: thirds innings eleven walks is a little.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: Bit too high.
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: Yeah, four home runs maybe a little bit too high
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: as well, but he's only allowed twelve hits. He's been
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: very difficult to hit, so Missyeroski, I mean, he is
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: a very talented young pitcher.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: He throws really hard.
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: He could probably get his wildness under control too, But
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: he did pitch in the All Star Game, and so
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: I think this is a lot for a rookie to
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: be named the All Star Team as well, and then
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: pitching the All Star Game, and he's coming up dominating
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: the Dodgers, inning's wonner and run allowed twelve k's four
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: hits alund. I mean that was probably his best start
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: of his young career. I mean it was, so he's
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: coming off all that. I think he might be in
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: a little bit of a letdown spot.
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: Man. So I don't love the Brewers here.
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: Even though I gave out Seattle as a play yesterday,
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: I thought the Brewers are in a letdown spot and
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: I got let down. Brewers continue to just defy that
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: and not get let down. But I think it's gonna
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: happen at some point, man, And maybe it'll happen here
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: though this is a very pitcher friendly park.
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: But I think that Missierowski probably will do well again.
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: I mean, the Mariners have never seen him before, so
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: he has that advantage as well, A really talented picture
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: with the unfamiliarity edge there. But again, his mental state
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: after that huge win over the Dodgers, you know, the
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: All Star Game, it might affect his state in this
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: game a little bit. A Logan Gilbert pitcher for the Mariners,
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: could certainly a dual Missierowski here. Man, Gilbert is pretty good.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: Three point three to ninety this year, one point zero
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: five whip Like pretty much all Seattle's pitchers, He's been
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: better at home two point twenty nine the ra at home.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: Will you like the Mariners? Yeah, we'll see they letting
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: you down.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: They won last or no, they didn't win last night
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: because I needed them to win last night and they didn't.
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: A logan Gilbert. Seattle's won four of his last five starts.
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: The only one they lost was at the Bronx, So
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: I mean, you can kind of give him a break
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: for not pitching that well at the Bronx, very difficult task.
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: Last month, he had a twenty three to two strike
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: at walk ratio, even though he did have a five
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: point eight to seven e RA, which isn't that good,
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: But his other stats indicated that he was not pitching poorly.
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: But he did give up five home runs, so he's
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: got to keep that in check. But four of his
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: last five starts have all been on the road, so
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: I think you gotta give him a little bit of
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: a pass for some of these starts. Man and one
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: against the Cubs, one against the Yankees, one against Detroit.
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: This month, he has a twenty one to seven strike
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: out walk ratio, so his walk rate has been a
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: little bit high, but the home runs have gone down again.
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: He is a two point nine to three e RA
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: this month, so he is overall pitching pretty well, and
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: he has okay numbers. Agains the Brewers in thirty two
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: at bats, eight to two strike out walk ratio, two
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: fifty average, and a little bit of a high seven
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: to forty two oh ps. But most of the damage
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: is from yell At, who has two of the home
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: runs three for six off him.
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: So I think Gilbert could certainly pitch well in this game.
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: I would lean to Seattle in this game, and I
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: would lean to the under as well. But the problem is,
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: well Seattle, I mean, the market is agreeing with both
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: of those. So Seattle is up for minus one fifteen
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: of minus one twenty three. Milwaukee's very public, I think again,
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: the public might be onto this now. They know Mizieryleskin,
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: they know Milwaukee's extremely hot right now, So the public
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: sees this and think, oh my god, Milwaukee is an underdog.
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: Very tempting for the public to want to jump in
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: on Milwaukee as an underdog. Here, eighty four percent of
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: tickets only seventy nine percent of the cash on Milwaukee
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: Seattle up for minus one fifteen of minus one twenty three.
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: So the money looks like it is coming in against
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: the public on Seattle, and the money's coming in on
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: the under, with the total getting more juice on the
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: under seven. I wish I would have given this out
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: as a play, probably on the under if I if
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: I got to it fast enough, if it was still
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: at under seven at minus one fifteen, I would have
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: given it out, or maybe even minus one twenty.
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: But I don't even see that anymore.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: I see at best under seven minus one twenty five,
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: and then I see mostly six and a half. So
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: you know me, seven is a key number in baseball
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: because it breaks the three to three tie. So I
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: will basically never go under the six and a half.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: I just don't think it gives you enough leeway. But
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: I would lean in the under in this game, U
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: fifty take a sixty three percent of the cash on
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: the under. It looks like the market read is saying
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: the under as well. Those are the ways that I
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: lean in that game. I think both bullpens are actually
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: not that bad, even though I made a point that
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: Milwaukee had used a lot of their better relievers up
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: up until last night, but they gave their better relievers
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: a little bit of.
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: A rest yesterday because they had the game in hand.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: So I think both bullpens are in okay shape coming
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: into this one. And yes, Milwaukee does have a good
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: offense on the road, but this is a pitcher friendly
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: park with two good pitching staffs here man so I think,
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: and two good starting pitchers. So I think the under
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: is still the correct way to look, probably the strongest
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: way to look in that game, but also a lean
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: to Seattle in that game, Minnesota at the Dodgers. The
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: Dodgers got back on track with a win yesterday, breaking
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: the lost streak five to two with a deep flyout
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: with multiple runners on base to end the game there,
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: and everybody kind of made a big deal of it.
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: It wasn't that big of a deal. Otani pitched three
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: innings Andy Homard in the game. I'm pretty sure the
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: crazy Otani. The Dodgers did use a couple of their
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: back end relief guys, but they didn't really use a
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: lot of their relievers. So the Dodgers bullpens gonna be
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: a little bit better rested coming into this Both bullpens
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: are fairly rested though coming into this game now after yesterday,
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: so the bullpens are not in terrible shape, but they're
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: not great bullpens. They have not been pitching that well recently.
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: Simeon Woods Richardson is pitching for Minnesota three point nine
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: to five ERA, one point three to three whip though,
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: so even though his ERA is good, his whip is
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: not very good. He's a worse on the road four
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: point nine to six road ERA. He's a pitching a
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: little bit better recently, allowing one or fewer earned runs
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: and four straight starts and five of the last six.
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: But even though Minnesota has one three of his last
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: four starts, I'm not ready to trust Richardson over his
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: last three starts this month. Even though he has one
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: point two to three e RA, he has a ten
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: to six strike a walk ratio, which is not that great.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: So Richardson he's okay, but I still don't think he's
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: that trustworthy.
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: The Dodgers have basically never seen him before.
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: They'll confort I was oh for one with a walk
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: off of him, but other than that, Dodgers have not
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: seen him. So maybe he has a little bit of
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: an edge in that respect, but I don't know if
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: we could trust him obviously.
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: I think the better of these two pictures by far.
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: Is Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the Dodgers two point five nine
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: ERA one point zero four whip. He's pitching well, a
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: little bit worse at home though, three point three eight
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: e R.
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: At home.
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: He's been really kind of all over the place, to
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: be honest, like it's basically like he either comes out
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: and he dominates or he does terribly, and.
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: There's almost no in between.
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: Although his overall numbers are great, still has a two
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: point four to five yarra this month, even though he
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: had a bad start against Milwaukee or he didn't even
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: make it out of the first inning. His other two
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: starts were seven innings starts. Will only give a one
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: run across those fourteen innings and had a fifteen to
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: three strike a walk ratio. So those were good starts
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: for him, but they were against the White Sox and
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: the Giants, who are not good offenses. But still Minnesota
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: is not a very good offense. Bader is their only
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: hitter who's seen him before, and yes, he's that means
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: he had jacks off. I think he fips right. He's
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: three for five off of Yammoto lifetime, so he's hit
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: him okay, although.
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: His both of his outs have been strikeouts.
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: But the rest of Minnesota's lineup has never seen Yamamoto before,
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: so they're unfamiliar with them.
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: So I don't know, man.
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: I mean, maybe a first five undermakes sense in this
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: game with just both offenses having some unfamiliarity.
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: Here, the totals sitting at eight.
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: And a half, seventy percent of ticket seventy six percent
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: of the cash on the over, though the Dodgers have
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: been scoring a lot at home.
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: Man, that's the one thing.
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: The Dodgers still do, is they score a lot at home,
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: even though they're pitching has not really been that good.
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: So I don't know if I necessarily would want to
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: really do that. I don't really necessarily want the Dodgers either.
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: They're up for minus two ten to minus two, twenty
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: three to ninety two per take his ninety five percent
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: of the cash, so it is a stay away. Randy
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: Johnson the big unit. I like Randy Johnson, Man, what's
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: wrong with Randy Johnson? He was good, man, He was
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: an ugly motherfucker, really tall, and he could throw really hard.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: Joe Madden's brother is that true? Is your pump supply guy?
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: That's crazy. Joe Madden's brother is not like a baseball
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: coach of some kind. Anyway, We're ready for it now, right,
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: Let's get to the best bets. Man, this has been
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: a long episode here, Let's get to it. I got
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: two plays in Major League Baseball here, and you know
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: what they are already, probably because I skipped them and
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: I basically already alluded.
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: To what they are. Number One, the Rads.
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: We're gonna join the public on this one, man, I
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: don't even care. We're gonna go Red's money line. Even
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: though they're on the road. They're a favorite. It looks
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: almost too obvious to take them. But I think it's
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: the right way to go in this game, man, I
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: think it's a complete mismatch in every possible way with
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: Cincinnati in this game against the Washington Nationals. I almost
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: said Wizards. Washington beat Cincinnati ten to eight yesterday. So
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, come on, man, so Cincinnati
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: might be a little bit angry about that, and bounce
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: back there. Washington does not really have a particularly good offense, man.
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: I mean we can look at the hitting here. Cincinnati's
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: middle of the pack, fifteenth in OPS and Washington's worst.
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: They're in the bottom third, basically twenty first, So we
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: do have a slight offensive edge with Cincinnati. So we
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: can start out with that. Both bullpens saw a lot
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: of you suggesterday. So both bullpen's are blown out, which
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: is probably gonna be bad because Washington looks like they're
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: basically going with a bullpend game in this game. So
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: and Washington's bullpen is terrible anyway, so you have a
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: completely unrested Washington bullpen. The bullpen is second one in baseball,
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: actually worst in RA and actually tied for worst in
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: uh whip now because I have this arranged by Whip,
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: so Washington has actually overtaken the A's again. Congratulations Washington,
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: you're the worst bullpen in all of Major League Baseball again,
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: and Washington.
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: It's bad.
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: Overly worked bullpen is gonna have to pitch most of
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: this game as well. That does not seem like a
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: good setup to me at all for Washington and for
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: the starting pitching. I think we have a huge advantage
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: with Chase Burns for the Reds. And I think we're
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: maybe even getting a little bit of value here because
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: people are gonna say, why would I want to do
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: that when he is a six point one to nine
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: ERA by the way, my guy right here, Roman Anthony,
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: six point one to nine ERA for Chase Burns and
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: one point six y three whip.
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: Yeah, his numbers are terrible this year. He's been really
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: bad on.
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: The road, ten point eight road. So why do we
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: want to do this? I mean, it's an outlier.
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: He had one really horrendous start against my Boston Red Sox,
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: by the way, and in his other three starts he
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: went four and two thirds or more and the other
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: three he allowed three or fewer earned runs at all.
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: Three this month he has a two point five to
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: three RRA.
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: And yes, he needs to get his walk number down.
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: He's had an insane strikeout rate though so far this
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: year Man twenty five strikeouts and sixteen innings, pitch nine walks.
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: Yes it's too many walks. Yes, three home runs.
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: There's too many home runs to have allowed seventeen hits
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: in sixteen innings. You'd like to see that be a
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: little bit better as well. But he is a strikeout guy.
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: Man. Chase Burns is a hard throwing, very.
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: Highly touted young pitcher, and he has faced some good offenses.
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: I mean, look at how he had to start his
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: career by facing the Yankees, the Red Sox, and Philadelphia,
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: with those last two being on the roads. So I mean,
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: that's a really tough draw, and then he got an
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: easy go of it to face Colorado. Had a lot
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: of strikeouts in that game, ten strikeouts. I think Burns
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: is the real deal, man, I mean that was a
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: tough ass to face all those good hitters. I think
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: he's gonna do well here. He's a really talented young pitcher.
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: He's facing another pretty bad offense in Washington, an offense
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: that has never seen him before. So I think Burns
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: can get this done for us today. I think he
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: should pitch well, and he's going up against Brad Lord.
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: But like I said, this is a bulp end game.
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: Lord.
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: I mean, he's been fined three point four to six
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: e R, a one point two to five whip worse
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: at home though four point one five e R at home,
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: and he's a lot four of the five home runs
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: he's allowed at home. But we don't even really have
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: to handicap him that strongly because he's gonna be out
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: of this game pretty fast.
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: I mean, he's an opener. He's only going one to
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: two innings in every single game. So you're gonna get
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: Washington's bulpend for seven innings in this game probably, and
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: it is an atrocious bulp. And so I mean, come on, man,
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: if the Reds aren't able to score in this game,
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say. So that's what
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: we're getting. Even though the Reds have never seen Lord before.
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna be much of a Lord
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: in this sweat man. I think, Uh, the Nationals are
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: gonna get burned in this game. So we're gonna We're
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: gonna go with the Reds in this game. Even though
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: the money looks like it's disagree with me.
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: Now.
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: Initially it looked like the money came in on Cincinnati
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: up for minus one twenty to minus one thirty five. Yes,
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: they are public seventy six percent of tickets, only seventy
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: four percent of the cash. I think maybe it's a
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: pricing thing where at that price, maybe there's some buyback
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: coming the other way. But I think Cincinnati is the
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: only way to look in this game. Man, It's a
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: cheap enough price. I think the money line is fine.
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: If you want to go run line, you could do
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: that as well. I think Cincinnati has a huge starting
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: pitching edge bulp and edge. I mean, of course, because
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: they're going up against a bulp and game and they
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: have the better offense too, So I like it. That's
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: where we're gonna go with that one. Cincinnati Reds. You
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: guys are fighting over King Retard. I guess, Oh that's me,
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: I'm the King. Well, thank you, I guess. And then
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: the last game, which I already told you what it's
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: gonna be, is Yankees blue Jays under the total of nine.
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: I believe the market read is agreeing with me on
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: this one. I think we're getting value on this.
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: The oddsmakers have thrown out a total of nine year
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: I think partially because people are gonna look at this.
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: The public's gonna look at this. Can only go one
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: way on this. They're only gonna go with an over man.
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: I mean, it's Yankees and Blue Jays right like. They
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: know that both of these teams have the ability to hit.
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: They have no idea who Schlittler is for the Yankees.
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: Shitler Hitler, Schlitler. But I'm gonna tell you why. I
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: think the under is the right way to go in
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: a second here, and maybe they don't even trust shers
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: or anymore, even though he's gonna be a Hall of Famer,
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: I mean, he is old. At this point, seventy one
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: percent of the tickets are on the over, but sixty
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: four percent of the cash on the under.
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: So Mark Reed is saying under.
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: I'm also saying under, and the money is actually coming
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: in towards the Yankees. Toronto's down for minus one thirty
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: to minus one fifteen, fifty eight percent of tickets on Toronto,
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: fifty six percent of the cash coming in.
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: On the Yankees. So the money is agreeing with the well.
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: Not agreeing necessarily, but indicating on the Yankees, which I
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: think is also kind of an indicator that the under
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: is making sense here, because that means probably that the
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: professional betters are expecting Schlitler to pitch pretty well. They're
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: expecting the Yankees bullpend to be okay in this game.
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: And we know the Yankees advantage here is that they
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: have the better offense over Toronto. But we're going with
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: the under here, man, So that is what I'm gonna
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: explain right now. I don't think either bullpen saw a
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: ton of you suggested, and both bullpens are okay, but
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: because they didn't see a whole lot of use suggested,
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: I think we can we can do that. We can
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: go with the blue with the bullpens here. Toronto actually
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: is the sixth best hitting team, by the way, so
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: my mistake. Their offense is actually really good, so we're
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: looking at the number one and number six offenses ops
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: wise here. But you know me, I like pitching. So
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: the Oddsmaker's probably thrown a nine because they had to,
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: but usually that indicates that they're expecting a higher scoring game,
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: and in this game, I don't think so. Toronto actually
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: is the fourth rated bullpend in baseball in the Whip.
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: At least they are a good bullpen, so we get
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: that going for us here. Yankees are right there in
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: the middle of the pack at fifteenth, which isn't terrible.
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: They've been okay, and because of the high leverage relief
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: men I think still being basically available here, I think
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: we can go with this and we're gonna roll with
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: both starters. Here, Schlittler is pitching for the Yankees. He's
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: only had one start in his major league career so far.
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: He's a trader though. He's from Walpole, mass So what
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: the fuck is he doing pitching for the Yankees? Man,
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: come on, brother, But Schlittler, I think he is actually
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: a pretty good pitcher. Man. I handicapped him going into
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: his first game. He gave up some runs. He has
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: a five point zero sixty RA but a one point
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: one to three whip indicates he was not putting a
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: ton of guys on base. Again, it was only one start.
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: It was at home against Seattle. Maybe he had, you know,
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: a little bit of nervousness in his major league debut.
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: But he was pretty good. I mean, in five and
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: a third he only gave up four hits. He gave
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: up two runs, which is really why he gave up
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: those runs. He somehow still limited Seattle to three runs.
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: I mean, when you give up two home runs, that's
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: a recipe for giving up a ton of runs.
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: But he didn't.
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: He had seven strikeouts, so that means his stuff was there. Man,
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: he was fooling major league hitters. So that is a
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: good sign. Seattle is an okay offense too, had two walks,
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: but I think he can only really kind of get
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: better from there.
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: Of course Toronto, even though yeah, they have a decent
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: hitting offense at least right now, they've never seen Schlitzler before.
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: So I think Schlitzler can get us into this game.
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: I think he has a little bit of an upper
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: hand here because he is a good pitcher and this
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: offense hasn't seen him before, and we have a crazy
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: age gap here. Memory of he's going up against the
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: Hall of Fame pitcher shirs Or, which I think that's
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: gonna make Schlitler be kind of motivated here because, oh
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: my god, I get to go up against, you know,
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: a guy who's gonna be in the Hall of Fame.
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: Basically I get to try to duel against Shurser. That's crazy, right,
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: So I think that's gonna motivate him. Shurs Are, hilariously
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: is sixteen years older. So there's another nice age gap there.
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: Today's the age gap, dame. Man, go out and find
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: a really young girlfriend there. Man, for all you guys
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: in your forties, go out and start dating a twenty
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: one year old be Bill Belichick basically Max Schurzer.
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's forty years old. He's still having
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: an no K season.
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: Four point seventy RA one point two to six whip.
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: He's been basically the same home and away. I mean
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: he's still effective for the most part. He's only made
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: what is his five starts so far this season, Toronto's
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: won his last three starts, including one against the Yankees.
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: He pitched pretty well against the Yankees in Toronto. Five innings, pitch,
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: seven strikeoffs, no walks, two earn runs, three hits, So
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: he does have the ability to still pitch against good offenses.
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: He's not a lot more than three on runs in
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: any start this season, so that's decent. I mean he's
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: been at least holding opposing offenses down enough to keep
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: his teams in the game.
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: And that's really what we need.
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: We just need shurez Or to go about maybe five
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: innings in this game, not allow that many runs, turn
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: it over to the boltpen, and help keep this game
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: under And his numbers against the Yankees are good. I
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: mean they're very familiar with them. One hundred and forty
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: seven at beasts. And yes, he's not what he once was.
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: I know a lot of these numbers are gonna be
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: from the pass when Schurezer was better, but still sixty
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: four rikeouts and only eight walks of the twenties strikeouts.
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: For gold Schmidt, but still in ten for Bell and Er.
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: I mean they've whiffed a lot against him, in fourteen
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: for Stanton, but still sixty four to eight strike a
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: walk ratio is crazy. He's held the Yankees to a
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: two point four average six thirty three oh ps. So
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: sure Aser has pitched well against them. I think he
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: can get it done for us here man to keep
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: this thing under. So that's gonna be the play there
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: under the total in Yankees Toronto, and we'll see what
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: happens with the Yankees. Because the Yankees lost again yesterday,
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: even though it was a revenge spot. Radon did not
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: pitch well and he got outpitched by Goussman yesterday, which
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: I did not really think was gonna happen. So the
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: Yankees are still looking for revenge, which might be part
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: of the reason why the money's coming in on the
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: Yankees too. Is Toronto has now won five straight games
- 1:28:48Speaker 2: against the Yankees, and Toronto has now won four games
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: in a Row again very hot Toronto team. But I
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: also think part of the reason why the money's coming
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: in on the Yankees is just that the professional betters
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: are base saying we know that the Yankees are still
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: the better team over Toronto, even though Toronto temporarily has
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: the better record over the Yankees, which I hate saying
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: that as a Red Sox fan, but I think it's
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: basically saying we're getting a little bit of value on
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: the Yankees as an underdog because they are the better team.
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: So I think that's probably what's what's going on here. No,
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: I did not make money. I make money every day,
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: but it's a but it's a very small amount of money.
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: All you Twitter trolls can fuck off. By the way,
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: I should probably not even bring up any of the comments.
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: Should I stop streaming at Twitter? By the way, you
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: guys can let me know, But that's gonna do it
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: for me today. So although actually maybe Ari, I apologize Ari,
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: if you're not trying to troll me, if you're asking
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: a genuine question, I apologize. But I don't know if
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: we're talking about like betting or whatever. My BET's lost yesterday.
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: But I will clarify I'm not actually making these bets
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: right now because I don't have enough money that's illiquid
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: right now to bankroll it. All right, I apologize, So
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I've had a lot of people coming at
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: me from the Twitter chain. I apologize, Man, I'm sorry
