- 0:01Speaker 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. So that's that's I'm gonna
- 0:11Speaker 1: start off this show horrible Sunday one and five.
- 0:15Speaker 2: I don't even know what to tell you about that.
- 0:17Speaker 2: I just don't want to do this anymore.
- 0:19Speaker 1: I have never seen anything like this.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Man with the slump continuing, two straight losses, not a
- 0:26Speaker 2: good day at all.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Own four that have not had had a good season.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Man with wookends slump that I'm on.
- 0:35Speaker 1: And the slump continues, I've reached into pink. Actually, I'm
- 0:40Speaker 1: going to burn my browins.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Hat Man, I don't know what is going on with
- 0:44Speaker 2: the bruins arch hape?
- 0:46Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
- 0:46Speaker 2: I don't even know it's it's March ninth, I think
- 0:50Speaker 2: who even knows? Man, I don't know what data is anymore.
- 0:53Speaker 2: I don't even know what data is anymore.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Man, back with you after the worst day that I.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Could possibly have, Back with you as I always am.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Until I die at least ohe and two. Yesterday and
- 1:06Speaker 1: yesterday did not go well for me.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Own five the worst month that I've ever had in
- 1:12Speaker 2: my eighteen years doing this.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 2: To the slump, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I don't even know what I should do at this
- 1:25Speaker 2: point other than potentially end it all. What's up, everybody,
- 1:34Speaker 2: It's towed back with you. This is better. I'm dead
- 1:38Speaker 2: July second. I shouldn't be laughing, but I am that
- 1:41Speaker 2: new intros.
- 1:42Speaker 1: It's a dude.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Thanks to Laney for compiling those videos. Nancy, what's up?
- 1:48Speaker 2: Oh man, I don't even know I'm I'm dude. I'm
- 1:52Speaker 2: just I'm basking in the awesomeness of that intro.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Man. I love that intro all right.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Yesterday on the show Want to er As, I gave
- 2:03Speaker 2: out a play on the Milwaukee Brewers, and we had
- 2:06Speaker 2: a bunch of rain of postponements yesterday.
- 2:08Speaker 1: So I will get into that today.
- 2:10Speaker 2: So that's gonna be the same matchup, by the way,
- 2:12Speaker 2: Brewers and Mets in the game won today. So I
- 2:16Speaker 2: may just give out that same play again in that
- 2:19Speaker 2: game because there seems to not be a reason not to.
- 2:21Speaker 2: So basically, we're gonna wait on that one. But that
- 2:24Speaker 2: one didn't happen yesterday. The one game that did happen
- 2:27Speaker 2: was an easy win on the under in the Minnesota
- 2:30Speaker 2: Miami game Twins Marlins. That was an easy under two
- 2:34Speaker 2: to nothing.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I think was the.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Final in that game, if I remember correctly. Both starting
- 2:39Speaker 2: pitchers did well in that one, especially Edward Cabrera, so
- 2:43Speaker 2: nailed that. Let's get into today. Man, it's July second, Wednesday.
- 2:48Speaker 2: We're gonna have a lot of baseball and nothing else
- 2:50Speaker 2: as we have no WNBA today, which, by the way,
- 2:52Speaker 2: I forgot to mention. The WNBA game yesterday was actually
- 2:55Speaker 2: the Commissioner Cup final, the nd season tournament final.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I forgot about that because it's so pointless.
- 3:01Speaker 2: But that didn't mean that Indiana had a little bit
- 3:03Speaker 2: more reason to show up in that game. Even if
- 3:06Speaker 2: even if Caitlyn Clark did come back in that game,
- 3:09Speaker 2: I didn't even look.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I don't watch any of it. I didn't pay attention
- 3:12Speaker 1: at all.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Maybe Clark did come back, but I know that Indiana
- 3:15Speaker 2: won the Commissioner Cup, so congratulations to them. Big win
- 3:20Speaker 2: over the Minnesota Links for them. So Indiana might be
- 3:24Speaker 2: a fade in their next game, and I don't know
- 3:25Speaker 2: if they're playing tomorrow or not, but we'll look into that.
- 3:28Speaker 2: It might be a good spot to fade them. All right,
- 3:31Speaker 2: Baseball here, this is gonna this is gonna take a while.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Maybe got a lot of games today, some in the
- 3:37Speaker 2: afternoon because it is getaway days. A lot of these
- 3:40Speaker 2: teams are gonna have to travel after Today. A's at
- 3:43Speaker 2: Rays is the first game up at twelve to ten
- 3:45Speaker 2: pm Eastern. Rays are on the verge of getting swept here,
- 3:49Speaker 2: I believe because I think this is the last game
- 3:50Speaker 2: of the series.
- 3:52Speaker 1: I don't think they played tomorrow. Let me see that
- 3:55Speaker 1: is correct.
- 3:56Speaker 2: So last yesterday's game went went ten innings, so that's
- 3:59Speaker 2: something to keep in mind.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Here's both bullpens saw a.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Little bit extra useage yesterday, but especially on the A's side,
- 4:07Speaker 2: and the A's bullpen somehow saved the game yesterday and
- 4:10Speaker 2: their bullpen is not good.
- 4:12Speaker 1: So definitely somebody to keep in mind here.
- 4:14Speaker 2: If you want anything to do with the A's here,
- 4:16Speaker 2: I would probably be excluding their bullpen from the equation here.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Mitch Spence is pitching for the A's today. Three point
- 4:24Speaker 2: eight two ERA one point three whip. He's been way
- 4:28Speaker 2: better on the road away from that bad Sacramento Triple
- 4:31Speaker 2: A Stadium there two point three to one ERA on
- 4:35Speaker 2: the road, so more pitcher friendly environments on the road.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I guess he's done fairly well over the last month.
- 4:42Speaker 2: In June, he did have a twenty to seven strike
- 4:44Speaker 2: out walk RATIONO on two point seven e RA, which
- 4:47Speaker 2: is pretty good, although his walk number increased quite a
- 4:50Speaker 2: bit in his last start, walking four guys, but it
- 4:53Speaker 2: was against the Yankees. I mean, that is a good offense,
- 4:55Speaker 2: and he still limited them to two earned runs, so
- 4:59Speaker 2: he didn't even pitch that bad in that game, went
- 5:01Speaker 2: five innings. He's been fairly consistent at least and not terrible.
- 5:07Speaker 2: The Rays have not done well against him in the past,
- 5:09Speaker 2: and thirty two at bats eleven strikeouts, one walk, win
- 5:12Speaker 2: eighty eight average for sixty two oh ps. So I
- 5:15Speaker 2: don't mind looking at Spence to maybe do okay in
- 5:18Speaker 2: this game. But the one issue you got to keep
- 5:21Speaker 2: in mind is this Tampa Bay stadium here. Steinbrenner Field
- 5:25Speaker 2: is a spring training stadium that is somewhat home run
- 5:28Speaker 2: conducive as well, so it's similar to the the Bronx,
- 5:33Speaker 2: which is where Spence just played. I believe right Yeah,
- 5:35Speaker 2: that's where he didn't do as well against the Yankees.
- 5:37Speaker 2: So Spence, on the one hand, he's used to pitching
- 5:40Speaker 2: in home run friendly parks like this at the A's
- 5:42Speaker 2: and at the Yankees, But on the other hand, he
- 5:45Speaker 2: didn't do He does not do as well in those stadiums,
- 5:48Speaker 2: so that is definitely something to keep in mind.
- 5:49Speaker 1: So even though he's used to it, he doesn't do
- 5:51Speaker 1: as well.
- 5:52Speaker 2: He's up against Ryan Pepio, who's having a good season
- 5:55Speaker 2: three point three sixty RA, one point one five whip.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Pepio's actually a little bit better in this stadium three
- 6:02Speaker 2: point one four EER. He's coming off a really bad
- 6:06Speaker 2: outing at Baltimore, though, which kind of surprised me because
- 6:08Speaker 2: he was in really good form up until that point.
- 6:11Speaker 2: I still had a thirty six to ten strike a
- 6:13Speaker 2: walk ratio in June at three point seven to six ERA,
- 6:17Speaker 2: but that start kind of derailed him. So I'm a
- 6:19Speaker 2: little bit concerned that maybe he's coming out of form
- 6:22Speaker 2: a little bit here because that was a bad start
- 6:24Speaker 2: against fairly mediocre at best I would say Baltimore offense. Pepio, though,
- 6:31Speaker 2: might bounce back here because the A's have not done
- 6:33Speaker 2: well against him in the past and twenty at bats
- 6:35Speaker 2: of one point fifty average for twenty seven ops, seven strikeouts,
- 6:39Speaker 2: two walks, So I think we we're looking at this
- 6:42Speaker 2: game Pepio. I think I'm gonna consider his last game
- 6:46Speaker 2: to be a little bit of a blip, and same
- 6:49Speaker 2: was Spence. So I think the way to look at
- 6:50Speaker 2: this is probably to go under in the first five innings,
- 6:53Speaker 2: because again, I don't want anything to do with bullpens
- 6:55Speaker 2: that are a little bit taxed, and I don't want
- 6:57Speaker 2: anything to do with the A's bullpen almost ever, So
- 7:01Speaker 2: the total we see eighty six percent of tickets on
- 7:03Speaker 2: the over, seventy three percent of cash on the over,
- 7:06Speaker 2: totals kind of just sitting at nine with juice on
- 7:08Speaker 2: the under, and oddsmakers kind of have to throw it
- 7:10Speaker 2: up at a high number like that because of the
- 7:13Speaker 2: stadium here, because it is during the day, it's gonna
- 7:15Speaker 2: be hot there, so it is a little bit of
- 7:17Speaker 2: an overconducive environment. But with these two starting pitchers, I
- 7:21Speaker 2: think they might be able to hold the opposing lineups
- 7:24Speaker 2: and check a little bit. So I'd be looking at
- 7:25Speaker 2: first five innings under the total in that game. But
- 7:28Speaker 2: that is not gonna reach the level of a play
- 7:30Speaker 2: for me. J C. What's up, JC, You're everywhere? I
- 7:34Speaker 2: still think there are about one thousand jc's out there,
- 7:38Speaker 2: all right. Saint Louis, Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh another win yesterday, A man,
- 7:44Speaker 2: Finally they got a win with Paul Skeen's I had
- 7:46Speaker 2: mentioned yesterday. They won four straight games and their last
- 7:49Speaker 2: loss was the game Paul Skeens started against Milwaukee. Skeens
- 7:53Speaker 2: pitched yesterday, and they gotta win behind him, even though
- 7:55Speaker 2: he only lasted five innings. He shut Saint Louis out,
- 7:59Speaker 2: and I believe Saint Louis has not scored a run
- 8:01Speaker 2: in this entire series, which is pretty embarrassing. I mean,
- 8:05Speaker 2: I think at some point Saint Louis is probably gonna
- 8:07Speaker 2: have to They're probably gonna turn it around a little
- 8:10Speaker 2: bit because their offense isn't this bad and the Pirates
- 8:13Speaker 2: pitching is not really this good. So maybe it happens
- 8:17Speaker 2: in this game today, where I think the Cardinals do
- 8:19Speaker 2: have a little bit of a starting pitching edge. In
- 8:21Speaker 2: this game, we did not see a whole lot of
- 8:23Speaker 2: bullpen you sage yesterday, so I think Saint Louis does
- 8:26Speaker 2: get the bullpen edge pirates, bullpend not very good. Saint Louis,
- 8:30Speaker 2: coming off two straight shutout losses, probably is gonna come
- 8:34Speaker 2: into this game with a little bit of fire, a
- 8:35Speaker 2: little bit pissed off. They got Sonny Gray pitching, and
- 8:38Speaker 2: he is their best starter three point or well, you
- 8:41Speaker 2: could argue it's Libra torre, but I think Gray has
- 8:44Speaker 2: just kind of proven himself over a longer career three
- 8:47Speaker 2: point three to sixty ra one point zero nine whip
- 8:50Speaker 2: good numbers this year. The problem is he has been
- 8:52Speaker 2: worse on the road four point three seventy r in
- 8:54Speaker 2: the road.
- 8:55Speaker 1: He's coming off.
- 8:56Speaker 2: A complete game shutout on the road though against even
- 9:00Speaker 2: when they're not a good hitting team, but he one
- 9:02Speaker 2: hit them and gave up.
- 9:03Speaker 1: No walks and struck out eleven.
- 9:05Speaker 2: So Gray pitched really well, and Saint Louis has been
- 9:08Speaker 2: really good behind Gray, winning eight of his last nine starts,
- 9:12Speaker 2: three of those being on the road, and they did
- 9:15Speaker 2: lose his second last start in the road against Milwaukee,
- 9:18Speaker 2: but Pittsburgh is a much easier offense to face, and
- 9:21Speaker 2: last time he faced Pittsburgh was at home, but he
- 9:24Speaker 2: shut them out for seven innings, eight strikeouts, one walk,
- 9:27Speaker 2: two hits allowed. So Gray, I believe he does match
- 9:31Speaker 2: up pretty well against Pittsburgh one hundred and nineteen at
- 9:34Speaker 2: bats against them, so even though they have a lot
- 9:36Speaker 2: of familiarity with him as a thirty seven to five
- 9:39Speaker 2: strikeout walk ratio against them, very dominant, two twenty seven
- 9:42Speaker 2: average allowed in six forty five ohps. So I am
- 9:45Speaker 2: thinking Gray probably is in line for a good one here,
- 9:48Speaker 2: even though I worry that after that, after such a
- 9:51Speaker 2: great performance last time out, he might regress a little bit.
- 9:54Speaker 1: But he did not have a high pitch count.
- 9:56Speaker 2: He did that whole thing with eighty nine pitches, so
- 10:00Speaker 2: that's a good sign if you do like Gray. He
- 10:02Speaker 2: did not over extend himself in that in that game.
- 10:05Speaker 2: He threw about the normal amount of pitches that he throws,
- 10:07Speaker 2: so that's a good sign. Mitch Keller is gonna be
- 10:10Speaker 2: pitching for Pittsburgh. He's not bad three point ninety RA
- 10:13Speaker 2: one point two to whip. He's a little bit worse
- 10:16Speaker 2: at home though, with a four point three to three
- 10:18Speaker 2: home ERA over the past month. In June he was
- 10:22Speaker 2: pretty good twenty one to six strike a walk ratio,
- 10:24Speaker 2: four point three ERA kind of mediocre, but he had
- 10:27Speaker 2: one bad start against Houston, and then since then he
- 10:30Speaker 2: hasn't allowed more than three on runs in any of
- 10:32Speaker 2: the fourth starts since then, including facing the Cubs and
- 10:35Speaker 2: the Mets, So he has been pretty good recently Against
- 10:39Speaker 2: Saint Louis's numbers are kind of mediocre, and they do
- 10:42Speaker 2: have a lot of familiarity with him. One hundred and
- 10:44Speaker 2: seventy nine at bats, thirty seven to fourteen strike a
- 10:47Speaker 2: walk ratio, so that is too many walks two sixty
- 10:50Speaker 2: eight average seven to ninety one ohps. So I think,
- 10:53Speaker 2: looking at this game, it probably makes sense to lean
- 10:56Speaker 2: to Saint Louis here man. I do think they have
- 10:58Speaker 2: a boat been edge as well, and starting pitching edge.
- 11:01Speaker 2: You're having a little bit of a price on the road.
- 11:03Speaker 2: But I do think they're gonna be a little bit angry.
- 11:05Speaker 2: I want to bounce back from two straight shutouts, Saint
- 11:09Speaker 2: Louis laying minus one twenty up to now minus one
- 11:11Speaker 2: twenty one on the road.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Public is all over them.
- 11:14Speaker 2: The public still is not buying this recent Pittsburgh run.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Eighty six percent of tickets and cash on Saint Louis.
- 11:21Speaker 2: But I still think Saint Louis is really the only
- 11:23Speaker 2: way that you can look in this game possibly an under.
- 11:27Speaker 2: I mean, if you think Keller is gonna like do
- 11:29Speaker 2: okay in this game. The total is low for reason,
- 11:31Speaker 2: it's sitting at seven and a half, but some of
- 11:33Speaker 2: the juice has actually gone towards the under as well.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Here the juice was originally on the over, and it's
- 11:41Speaker 2: kind of moving towards the midpoint there towards the under. There,
- 11:45Speaker 2: although we see sixty four percent of tickets on the under,
- 11:48Speaker 2: but eighty seven percent of the cash on the.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Under, money looks like it's also on the under.
- 11:52Speaker 2: I don't know if I'd want to do anything with
- 11:54Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's bullpend though, even though they're not really unrested here.
- 11:57Speaker 2: So maybe a first five inning under in this game,
- 12:00Speaker 2: but if you do that, you have to probably go
- 12:01Speaker 2: under like three and a half, so you're really kind
- 12:03Speaker 2: of pushing a little bit there. I still make Saint
- 12:06Speaker 2: Louis is probably the best way to look at this
- 12:08Speaker 2: game money line.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Saint Louis probably full game because I think they have the.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Better bullpen in the least in the more rested of
- 12:17Speaker 2: the two bullpens, is what I mean. J C is
- 12:20Speaker 2: in twelve other chats right now, that makes sense. I
- 12:22Speaker 2: don't know how many shows are on early in the morning.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Probably Timeline Cleansed with David is probably on right now. Scott,
- 12:28Speaker 2: what's up, Scoot? Yeah, that's right. I don't think I
- 12:33Speaker 2: can get through all these comments. Man, you guys are crazy.
- 12:36Speaker 2: What's going on? I don't even know what these references
- 12:38Speaker 2: are here? But all right, you guys are playing some
- 12:41Speaker 2: game or something going for a top score. I don't
- 12:44Speaker 2: know what's going on here. The crown means a king though. No,
- 12:48Speaker 2: I do not bet Nascar at all. I don't pay
- 12:50Speaker 2: attention to it whatsoever. That yeah, that is absolutely not
- 12:55Speaker 2: something I'm gonna get involved. And I already have way
- 12:58Speaker 2: too much that I pay attention to. There's no way
- 13:00Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it. I don't think you can bet
- 13:04Speaker 2: on a specific driver to crash, but I don't really
- 13:07Speaker 2: know you you could bet against a specific driver to
- 13:10Speaker 2: do well.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Nate, what's up?
- 13:11Speaker 2: Man?
- 13:12Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging out? Everybody? Hi, everybody? All right? Next
- 13:16Speaker 1: up is a doubleheader, which is San Diego and Philadelphia. Now,
- 13:20Speaker 1: I handicapped yesterday.
- 13:21Speaker 2: I was gonna be Nick Pavetta against Christopher Sanchez, and
- 13:24Speaker 2: I said I kind of leaned to Philadelphia yesterday, but
- 13:27Speaker 2: I think it's gonna set up a nice starting pitching
- 13:29Speaker 2: matchup for us to attack in game two now, where
- 13:32Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez is gonna be pitching. He's not pitching in
- 13:35Speaker 2: game one. Now, this is gonna be a double header.
- 13:38Speaker 2: I'm gonna do both games with the doubleheader. Right now,
- 13:41Speaker 2: Philadelphia did lose or excuse me, they won the first
- 13:44Speaker 2: game of this year's excuse me, four to nothing. So
- 13:47Speaker 2: now we're in a situation where San Diego might be
- 13:51Speaker 2: a little bit pissed because they're gonna want to bounce
- 13:52Speaker 2: back from getting shut out. A lot of times, it
- 13:55Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to look to a team that did
- 13:57Speaker 2: get shut out the game before that, which gave me
- 14:00Speaker 2: a little bit of hesitation on giving out Philadelphia as
- 14:03Speaker 2: a play yesterday. Even though I liked the pitching matchup,
- 14:06Speaker 2: I kind of like Sanchez's matchup more though, which I'll
- 14:09Speaker 2: get to in a second, because he's not facing Paveta.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Now.
- 14:14Speaker 2: I don't know what else I was gonna say about this,
- 14:16Speaker 2: but this is a double header because the game got
- 14:18Speaker 2: rained out yesterday, so this is the afternoon game.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Game one.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Here both bullpens are now a little bit more rested
- 14:23Speaker 2: because they did not pitched yesterday. San Diego has the
- 14:27Speaker 2: better of the two bullpens, so Philadelphia's has been kind
- 14:29Speaker 2: of coming along a little bit.
- 14:31Speaker 1: As we're looking at this now.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Philadelphia still bad four point five to one, but they
- 14:37Speaker 2: were in this like kind of almost upper rational lot
- 14:40Speaker 2: of like the worst bullpens. They're still bad, but they're
- 14:43Speaker 2: not as bad now. But San Diego is almost an
- 14:46Speaker 2: elite bullpen territory still as their top five bullpen right
- 14:49Speaker 2: now over the course of the season, but Philadelphia has
- 14:53Speaker 2: been a little bit better recently than their season has been.
- 14:55Speaker 2: In San Diego has been a little bit worse recently
- 14:58Speaker 2: than the season has been. Nick Pavetta three point three
- 15:00Speaker 2: six ERA, one point zero three whip on the season.
- 15:03Speaker 2: He's been worse away from uh San Diego, though, which
- 15:06Speaker 2: is a nice pitcher friendly park on the road. He
- 15:08Speaker 2: has a four point five ERA, which is certainly not
- 15:10Speaker 2: as good. He's in decent form right now, at least.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Just his last start was go with ten strikeouts. He's
- 15:17Speaker 2: kind of alternated good and bad starts over the last month,
- 15:21Speaker 2: with the every other start basically not even going five innings.
- 15:26Speaker 2: One of them was against the Dodgers, he might give
- 15:27Speaker 2: him a pass for that. The other was against Kansas City,
- 15:31Speaker 2: which is a lot more I mean, that's a lot
- 15:34Speaker 2: more unforgivable.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Kansas City not a good offense.
- 15:37Speaker 2: He bounce back and dominated Washington seven shutdown innings, ten strikeouts,
- 15:41Speaker 2: three hits, no walks, but overall June four point seven
- 15:44Speaker 2: to one ERA. But he did have a thirty to
- 15:46Speaker 2: six strikeout walk ratio, so his peripherals were still pretty
- 15:50Speaker 2: good even though THERA was high. But against Philadelphia, they're
- 15:53Speaker 2: a good offense, and they do have good numbers against
- 15:55Speaker 2: Pavetta and sixty nine at bats two seventy five average,
- 15:58Speaker 2: nine eighty four ops, nineteen strikeouts, thirteen walks.
- 16:02Speaker 1: That is too many walks.
- 16:03Speaker 2: So Paveta has struggled against Philadelphia, and he's going up
- 16:07Speaker 2: against Mick Abel who you have to be able to
- 16:11Speaker 2: figure out what's gonna what's gonna go on with Mick Ableman,
- 16:13Speaker 2: And hopefully.
- 16:15Speaker 1: At least he's not facing Matt Cain.
- 16:17Speaker 2: That would be insane, right If you guys remember Matt
- 16:20Speaker 2: Cain long ago on the San Francisco Giants.
- 16:23Speaker 1: He was good for a while that would be crazy.
- 16:24Speaker 2: If it was Kane against able Man, you'd always have
- 16:27Speaker 2: to go with Caine.
- 16:28Speaker 1: But Mick abel is a very young pitcher.
- 16:30Speaker 2: He has been able to do pretty well three point
- 16:33Speaker 2: four to seven e R, one point one to six
- 16:35Speaker 2: WHIP on the season. He's been worse at home though,
- 16:38Speaker 2: four point eight five ERA at home, but it's a
- 16:41Speaker 2: small sample size.
- 16:43Speaker 1: He's not really a good forum though.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Over his last few starts, he didn't do well against
- 16:47Speaker 2: the Cubs or the Mets. Those are good offenses, so
- 16:50Speaker 2: he actually just kind of stepping down a class to
- 16:52Speaker 2: face San Diego here, who's a good offense, but not
- 16:55Speaker 2: as good as the Mets or the Cubs, even though
- 16:57Speaker 2: the Mets haven't been in great form recently, so Able
- 17:01Speaker 2: very tough to gauge that we're gonna get Man. In June,
- 17:03Speaker 2: he had a nine to four strike a walk ratio
- 17:07Speaker 2: four point six seventy RA. Not that great, and his
- 17:09Speaker 2: last time he was scheduled to start was on his
- 17:13Speaker 2: regular schedule there and he didn't actually make the start
- 17:16Speaker 2: against Atlanta. I don't know what happened in that start,
- 17:19Speaker 2: but it looks like he took the mound because he
- 17:21Speaker 2: was listed in the box score, and then he never
- 17:23Speaker 2: actually threw a pitch, so I don't know exactly what
- 17:25Speaker 2: happened with Abel there. So now he's not pitching on
- 17:27Speaker 2: regular schedule, So you might worry about that a little bit, man,
- 17:32Speaker 2: because pictures are creatures of habits, so they like to
- 17:34Speaker 2: pitch on schedule. But then on the other hand, maybe
- 17:37Speaker 2: he had some issue and maybe that will give him
- 17:39Speaker 2: a little bit of rest, and maybe that's the rest
- 17:41Speaker 2: that he needs because he is a really young pitcher,
- 17:43Speaker 2: so maybe the extra rest will help him.
- 17:45Speaker 1: So I could see both arguments here. So it's a
- 17:47Speaker 1: little bit tough to gauge what we're gonna get out
- 17:49Speaker 1: of Able looking at.
- 17:58Speaker 2: And so we are getting a little bit of an
- 18:05Speaker 2: extra edge there because I was facing a lineup that
- 18:07Speaker 2: has never seen him before. So if you do, like
- 18:11Speaker 2: Pittsburgh here, excuse me, Philadelphia here, that's one thing to
- 18:15Speaker 2: consider that Able at least has the advantage of the
- 18:19Speaker 2: hitters not having seen him before. That is an advantage
- 18:21Speaker 2: to a young pitcher when hitters have to kind of
- 18:23Speaker 2: adjust and figure out what's going on with with that
- 18:28Speaker 2: opposing picture they haven't seen before. Sorry, I'm distrafted, you guys,
- 18:31Speaker 2: are talking way too much.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Of the chat here.
- 18:33Speaker 2: I won't be able to get to everything in the chat,
- 18:35Speaker 2: but I don't know what you guys are talking about
- 18:36Speaker 2: with the crown. Somebody's gonna be king though, baby, all right,
- 18:42Speaker 2: Detroit at Washington or no, what?
- 18:43Speaker 1: Let me talk about Game two of the double header.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Excuse me, even though it's later in the day, Philadelphia
- 18:50Speaker 2: and San Diego.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Now, Christopher Sanchez is pitching in this game.
- 18:53Speaker 2: He's gonna be up against Dylan Cease now, and I'm
- 18:56Speaker 2: actually gonna fade Dylan Cees here. Man, I'm gonna give
- 18:58Speaker 2: you Philidelphia in Game two, first five inning, money line
- 19:03Speaker 2: minus one thirty. So I'm gonna say exclude the bullpens
- 19:07Speaker 2: because Philadelphia has the worst of the two bullpens.
- 19:09Speaker 1: We don't know what the bullpen.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Usage is gonna be in Game one, so let's forget
- 19:13Speaker 2: about that. Let's just look at the starting pitching matchup
- 19:16Speaker 2: and we'll go with Philadelphia to have the better of
- 19:18Speaker 2: the starting pitching matchup here. Dylan Cees not a guy
- 19:22Speaker 2: that I wanted to fade a lot last year, but
- 19:24Speaker 2: this year he has not been that good.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Four point five three ERA and one point three to
- 19:28Speaker 1: two whip. He is definitely struggling. On the road, he's
- 19:30Speaker 1: been awful six point three to one ERA. He has
- 19:34Speaker 1: significant home road splits.
- 19:35Speaker 2: He has a two point seven to six home ERA
- 19:38Speaker 2: in that pitcher friendly ballpark there, and on the road
- 19:41Speaker 2: he's been awful, and he's been pretty bad recently too.
- 19:45Speaker 2: In the month of June, thirty nine to fifteen straggle
- 19:48Speaker 2: walk rate, so he had a really high strikeout rate
- 19:50Speaker 2: but a very high walk rate. He's walked at least
- 19:54Speaker 2: three guys and four of the five outings over the
- 19:57Speaker 2: month of June and a four point two to three
- 19:59Speaker 2: ERA in June.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Not very good.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Over the last couple of starts, he allowed six and
- 20:04Speaker 2: three earned runs in two of the three and the
- 20:06Speaker 2: only one he did somewhat well in was against Kansas City,
- 20:09Speaker 2: a very weak offense, and he still walked three guys.
- 20:12Speaker 2: So even when he's not allowing runs, he's actually putting
- 20:15Speaker 2: a ton of guys on base. So there were a
- 20:17Speaker 2: lot of concerns here with Dylan cease right now. And
- 20:19Speaker 2: in his last outing it was at a pitcher friendly
- 20:23Speaker 2: park or excuse, he had a hitter friendly park in Cincinnati,
- 20:26Speaker 2: not a great offense in Cincinnati, and he had a
- 20:28Speaker 2: lot of strikeouts eight but he allowed five hits, two
- 20:31Speaker 2: home runs, three walks, three earned runs and four innings.
- 20:35Speaker 2: He did not do well. So Cease not in good
- 20:37Speaker 2: form right now.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Man. He has ceased to pitch.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Uh, he has ceased to pitch well, let's say, especially
- 20:43Speaker 2: on the road, and the Phillies do some damage against him.
- 20:47Speaker 2: In sixty three at bats, two point fifty four average
- 20:49Speaker 2: doesn't look that bad, but a nine to three OPS
- 20:52Speaker 2: is not good. Sixteen to nine strail walk ratio is
- 20:55Speaker 2: not good. Again, he's walked too many of them. He's
- 20:57Speaker 2: given up six home runs to these hitters. Of the
- 21:00Speaker 2: three of them are Max Kepler, who is only six
- 21:02Speaker 2: for twenty five often but three home runs three walks
- 21:05Speaker 2: against him. In Schwarber three for seven with two home
- 21:08Speaker 2: runs three walks. If you want a player prop hits
- 21:11Speaker 2: plus runs plus RBIs could look to Schwarber there because
- 21:15Speaker 2: he does hit Cease well. And on the other hand,
- 21:17Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez is actually pitching quite well two point seven
- 21:20Speaker 2: to nine ERA, one point one six whip. He is
- 21:23Speaker 2: a little bit worse at home, but still three point
- 21:25Speaker 2: two four ERA is not bad and he is in
- 21:28Speaker 2: good for him. Unlike Cease, he had a one point
- 21:31Speaker 2: eight five ERA and five June starts with a thirty
- 21:34Speaker 2: three to six strikeout walk ratio, walking nobody in three
- 21:38Speaker 2: straight starts, going at least six innings in every one
- 21:41Speaker 2: of those, and he allowed no more than two runs
- 21:43Speaker 2: in any start over the month of June. It hasn't
- 21:46Speaker 2: a lot of home run in four straight starts, so
- 21:49Speaker 2: Sanchez has been quite good. He faced some weak offenses.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Miami Houston is.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Mediocre, Pittsburgh very week, Toronto twice over. That'span. Toronto's okay.
- 22:01Speaker 2: So but I still think we gotta say Sanchez is
- 22:03Speaker 2: pitching well right now and against San Diego.
- 22:05Speaker 1: As I pointed out yesterday.
- 22:06Speaker 2: He has good numbers and forty three at bats, thirteen
- 22:09Speaker 2: to one strikeout walk ratio excusey two point nine average,
- 22:13Speaker 2: and five ninety nine to ops. So I like what
- 22:16Speaker 2: we're seeing with Sanchez's numbers here, man, So I'm gonna
- 22:18Speaker 2: recommend first five innings Philadelphia in Game two.
- 22:22Speaker 1: I like Sanchez to outpitch Dylan sees here.
- 22:25Speaker 2: The money has agreed with me and come in on
- 22:27Speaker 2: the Philadelphia side up for minus one forty. You minus
- 22:29Speaker 2: one fifty two, seventy percent of tickets, ninety eight percent
- 22:32Speaker 2: of the cash coming in on Philadelphia in that game.
- 22:35Speaker 1: So I like it.
- 22:36Speaker 2: I like it more than Game one, where Game one
- 22:38Speaker 2: looks like the money's actually coming in on San Diego
- 22:41Speaker 2: as they flipped from plus one hundred dogs to a
- 22:43Speaker 2: minus one o nine road favorite just because Abel gets
- 22:46Speaker 2: no respect in the market.
- 22:48Speaker 1: But San Diego is very public.
- 22:50Speaker 2: There seventy percent of tickets, seventy seven percent of the cash.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Uh so they do have the cash coming in on them,
- 22:55Speaker 2: but they are public. So again, I'm not recommending a
- 22:57Speaker 2: playing Game one of the series Game two. I'm recommending
- 23:01Speaker 2: a play on what I think is actually an anti
- 23:03Speaker 2: public home favorite in Philadelphia in Game two, again taking
- 23:07Speaker 2: the bullpens out of the equation. I mean, we don't
- 23:09Speaker 2: really have to worry about what happens in Game one
- 23:11Speaker 2: as far as the bullpen usage. And the other thing
- 23:14Speaker 2: I like about this is that San Diego is a
- 23:15Speaker 2: pretty bad road team.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Man.
- 23:17Speaker 2: They're twenty and twenty five on the road, as I
- 23:19Speaker 2: pointed out yesterday, and Philly's good at home twenty seven
- 23:22Speaker 2: and fourteen, So I think we're getting some edges there
- 23:25Speaker 2: first five innings, Game two in the Philadelphia game there
- 23:30Speaker 2: against San Diego.
- 23:32Speaker 1: I can't.
- 23:33Speaker 2: I can't even keep up with what's going on in
- 23:35Speaker 2: the chat man on notable Jews and sports. I mean, yes,
- 23:39Speaker 2: there are probably a lot. They're all in ownership, though
- 23:43Speaker 2: most of them are in ownership, except Hall of Fame
- 23:46Speaker 2: or Rod Caru if you want to sing the Ahonicas
- 23:49Speaker 2: on there, he's the one that I remember. And Kevin
- 23:52Speaker 2: Yuculus right another Red Sox even though he's the Greek
- 23:58Speaker 2: god of walks or whatever.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Will what's up? Man?
- 24:02Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging out everybody trying to at least hit
- 24:05Speaker 2: everybody that appears in the chat. At least a lot
- 24:07Speaker 2: a lot going on in the chat. Chat is bumping
- 24:09Speaker 2: here all right?
- 24:10Speaker 1: Next up?
- 24:11Speaker 2: Where did I leave off? Detroit Washington? This is also
- 24:14Speaker 2: a doubleheader. Yesterday ran everywhere yesterday, man, so yesterday was
- 24:18Speaker 2: postponed Yesterday. We're gonna have Trevor Williams against Jack Flaherty.
- 24:23Speaker 2: I almost said John Jack Flaherty. Today, the pitching matchups
- 24:27Speaker 2: have shifted, have split across the games now, just like
- 24:32Speaker 2: Philadelphia and San Diego are doing. So we don't get
- 24:34Speaker 2: the same starting pitching matchup now with two games here,
- 24:37Speaker 2: game one in the afternoon, Detroit and Washington. Detroit is
- 24:40Speaker 2: going with a bullpen game with Tyler Holton listed as
- 24:44Speaker 2: a starter here four point three four ERA, one point
- 24:46Speaker 2: two six WHIP. Not a whole lot to really dig
- 24:50Speaker 2: into with Holton because you know, he's only gonna probably
- 24:52Speaker 2: be in the game for about one to two innings,
- 24:54Speaker 2: probably less than two innings. So we're gonna get a
- 24:57Speaker 2: bullpen game from Detroit here now. Detroit, of they're the
- 25:00Speaker 2: team that does that the most right now with aj
- 25:02Speaker 2: Hinch knowing how to manage bullpen games. Detroit has a
- 25:05Speaker 2: good bullpen and they rested yesterday, so it might not
- 25:08Speaker 2: be the worst situation for Detroit going with a bullpen game.
- 25:12Speaker 2: They're up against Trevor Williams, who I don't like him,
- 25:15Speaker 2: as I pointed out yesterday. I mean, his numbers are terrible.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Five point six five VRA, one point four to seven WHIP.
- 25:21Speaker 2: He's been bad both home in a way it doesn't
- 25:23Speaker 2: even really matter. I had an eighteen to five strike
- 25:26Speaker 2: a walk ratio in June across five starts, which wasn't
- 25:28Speaker 2: that bad. But Washington lost four of the five starts,
- 25:31Speaker 2: and he gave a bunch of runs five point five
- 25:34Speaker 2: to five VRA, so he was not keeping opposing offenses
- 25:37Speaker 2: in check, even though the peripherals actually looked okay for Williams.
- 25:41Speaker 2: But I'm not ready to say that Williams is like
- 25:43Speaker 2: a betable pitcher right now. I don't really think he
- 25:45Speaker 2: is beta ball, not betable, betable. I don't know, man,
- 25:49Speaker 2: he's got that nice beard. You might want to, you know,
- 25:51Speaker 2: take that guy to bed with you.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I don't know. But he does have good numbers.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Against Detroit and only three of their hitters have ever
- 25:57Speaker 2: seen it before, which I pointed out yesterday one ninety
- 25:59Speaker 2: four average against a five eighty ops, with Hoavier by
- 26:03Speaker 2: As having almost all the track record against Detroit.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Some of this is Jack.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Flaherty, so we can kind of just throw him out.
- 26:09Speaker 2: So really for Detroit, it's mostly just buy As who
- 26:13Speaker 2: has faced him before. So Williams is at least unfamiliar
- 26:17Speaker 2: to Detroit. And if you look at what's going on
- 26:18Speaker 2: in the market, Detroit's very public, ninety tickets and only
- 26:22Speaker 2: eighty seven percent of the cash, and they've already dropped
- 26:24Speaker 2: for minus one sixty five to minus one forty nine,
- 26:27Speaker 2: So the professional money is coming in on. Washington is
- 26:31Speaker 2: the home underdog in that game, basically saying, well, Williams
- 26:35Speaker 2: might be a little bit better than he looks right now.
- 26:37Speaker 2: He's unfamiliar to Detroit, and Detroit is going with a
- 26:40Speaker 2: bullpen game, so it looks like Washington is taking some
- 26:43Speaker 2: of the professional money. So take from that what you will.
- 26:45Speaker 2: I guess, thank you, Scott, Yeah, chat for the win. Correct.
- 26:52Speaker 1: I don't know what you I still have no idea
- 26:53Speaker 1: what's going on? What game?
- 26:54Speaker 2: Are you guys talking about your disgrace. That's not true, Scott,
- 26:59Speaker 2: unless you're I don't know, you're losing a game to
- 27:01Speaker 2: a woman. Then if that's the case, then yes, you're
- 27:04Speaker 2: a disgrace. Milwaukee at New York Mets. Let's go with it, man,
- 27:08Speaker 2: I gave this play out yesterday, and out's at a
- 27:10Speaker 2: little bit of a better price, and we're gonna go
- 27:12Speaker 2: with it. This is Game one, same pitching matchup as yesterday,
- 27:16Speaker 2: Freddy Peralta against Clay Holmes. I'm gonna go with Milwaukee here, man, Mets.
- 27:21Speaker 2: I still I don't like what's going on with the Mets. Man,
- 27:24Speaker 2: even though yeah, they have an extra day to kind
- 27:26Speaker 2: of think about this and bounce back from losing a
- 27:29Speaker 2: bunch of games here. But again, as I pointed out yesterday,
- 27:31Speaker 2: they have not been good since their Pride celebration basically,
- 27:34Speaker 2: which I think God is kind of smacking them down
- 27:37Speaker 2: a little bit for being like sodom mites and whatever.
- 27:40Speaker 2: They had the worst of the Pride celebrations that we
- 27:42Speaker 2: saw at least footage of, and they have been horrible
- 27:46Speaker 2: pretty much since.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Then, losing all but three games over.
- 27:49Speaker 2: That entire span. The Mets have completely fallen apart. Yet
- 27:52Speaker 2: there's still only two games behind Philadelphia. There are two
- 27:55Speaker 2: games out of first place, although they were in first
- 27:58Speaker 2: place prior to that. I'm not ready to say the
- 28:01Speaker 2: Mets are going to bounce back in this game, though. Man,
- 28:03Speaker 2: I don't love this this game for the Mets. Here,
- 28:06Speaker 2: if we look at the market read here, I think
- 28:08Speaker 2: that we're looking at I think the market is at
- 28:12Speaker 2: least sort of indicating that it kind of agrees with us. Here.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Let me see where are we looking here?
- 28:18Speaker 2: Let me see, I'm looking at the other game here,
- 28:22Speaker 2: hold on Milwaukee, and yeah, here it is so we
- 28:27Speaker 2: have seventy percent of tickets and only sixty six percent
- 28:29Speaker 2: of the cash on the Mets here line has dropped
- 28:31Speaker 2: from just one thirty one twenty two, so the money
- 28:36Speaker 2: is moving against the Mets here towards Milwaukee, and I
- 28:40Speaker 2: agree with that. The Mets are public, they're a home
- 28:42Speaker 2: favorite here, and I think we get the advantage of
- 28:44Speaker 2: the pitching matchup here. We're gonna go full game on
- 28:47Speaker 2: this because even though I know the Mets have the
- 28:48Speaker 2: better bullpen here, which we're looking at here, the Mets
- 28:51Speaker 2: have kind of tailed off though they're kind of down
- 28:54Speaker 2: in the middle of the pack now bullpen wise, and
- 28:57Speaker 2: Milwaukee's bullpen isn't that much worse anymore, even though they're
- 29:00Speaker 2: is above four, which isn't good. But there's kind of
- 29:03Speaker 2: been this convergence here where these bullpens are not looking
- 29:07Speaker 2: like they're that different at this point.
- 29:09Speaker 1: So we'll go full game. Bullpen's arrested here.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Just like I said yesterday, we're looking a lot at
- 29:15Speaker 2: the starting pitching matchup here, Freddy Parolta pitching. By the way,
- 29:18Speaker 2: Milwaukee also is a better offense on the road, so
- 29:22Speaker 2: we at least get that as well, But we get
- 29:23Speaker 2: Milwaukee's best pitcher or maybe second best pitcher now as
- 29:27Speaker 2: Mizzierowski is probably their best, and he's pitching Game two here.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Freddy Paralta two point ninety RA one point one to
- 29:34Speaker 2: three whip. He's been really good this year.
- 29:36Speaker 1: He is worse on the road, so that is something
- 29:38Speaker 1: to worry about a little bit with a four point
- 29:40Speaker 1: h two road era, and mostly because he's allowed way
- 29:43Speaker 1: more home runs on the road for whatever reason.
- 29:45Speaker 2: But I'm not as concerned about it here. He is
- 29:48Speaker 2: in good form. I'm Milwaukee won his last three starts
- 29:51Speaker 2: thirty two to eight strike a walk ratio in June,
- 29:54Speaker 2: had six or more strikeouts and four of the five
- 29:56Speaker 2: starts three point two to one over that span. He's
- 30:01Speaker 2: pitching well and he has good numbers against the Mets.
- 30:04Speaker 2: His sixty three at bats too many walks sixteen to
- 30:07Speaker 2: ten stray a walk ratio, and with Peralta, you do
- 30:09Speaker 2: get a little bit of wildness out of him, but
- 30:11Speaker 2: you get decent strikeout numbers and he doesn't give up
- 30:13Speaker 2: that many hits. And to the Mets, he's held into
- 30:16Speaker 2: a one forty three average and a six four OPS,
- 30:19Speaker 2: which is higher than you'd think with a one forty
- 30:21Speaker 2: three average a lot but still not very high, So
- 30:24Speaker 2: I like Paralta coming into this one against Clay Holmes,
- 30:27Speaker 2: who has a two point nine to seven ERA, but
- 30:29Speaker 2: his one point two four whip is kind of telling
- 30:31Speaker 2: you there's something not quite right about homes Isiray is
- 30:36Speaker 2: a little bit higher at home three point one three
- 30:38Speaker 2: ERA at home June. If you start looking at his
- 30:41Speaker 2: June numbers, two point nine three ERA was good in
- 30:44Speaker 2: five starts, but nineteen to twelve strike a walk ratio
- 30:48Speaker 2: is kind of telling you there's something going on here
- 30:50Speaker 2: man and his walk numbers.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Have gone up over the last few starts.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Granted, both of those worst starts are against Atlanta, so
- 30:56Speaker 2: maybe Atlanta just has some sort of advantage against him,
- 31:00Speaker 2: but still, he walked ten guys over those last two outings.
- 31:04Speaker 2: Over the last three outings, only went five innings at
- 31:06Speaker 2: most in each of them, walked at least two in
- 31:09Speaker 2: each of the three, so he has not been in
- 31:11Speaker 2: good form over the last few starts. So I don't
- 31:14Speaker 2: trust homes here as much as I trust Peralta. He
- 31:17Speaker 2: doesn't have a lot of history against Milwaukee twelve at bats,
- 31:21Speaker 2: but they do have two walks to two strikeouts, a
- 31:23Speaker 2: two fifty average not that high. Seven to seventy four,
- 31:25Speaker 2: oh ps, a little bit higher, mostly because Yelich has
- 31:28Speaker 2: hit him pretty well three for five with two doubles.
- 31:31Speaker 2: So I am gonna recommend exactly what I recommended yesterday,
- 31:35Speaker 2: just a little bit of a better price here at
- 31:36Speaker 2: plus one twelve on the money line. And I think
- 31:38Speaker 2: this is gonna be the last play I'm gonna give
- 31:40Speaker 2: out today, Milwaukee in game one plus the money line
- 31:46Speaker 2: price there as an underdog, I think we're getting, dude,
- 31:48Speaker 2: You're getting Peralta as an underdog. That is something I
- 31:51Speaker 2: think you got to look towards. I like it against
- 31:54Speaker 2: a team that is just not playing well as well.
- 31:56Speaker 2: So Milwaukee in the first game of the doubleheader as
- 31:59Speaker 2: the underdog. Game two's of those double headers either way,
- 32:02Speaker 2: let's just hit those right now.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Way too many comments, guys, JR. What's up man? Thanks
- 32:07Speaker 1: for hanging out, Andrew, what's up man? Yet? I'm gonna
- 32:11Speaker 1: talk about that at the end of the show.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Actually, if you want me to the Big Beautiful Bill
- 32:15Speaker 2: or whatever the hell the BBB, I'll talk about it
- 32:18Speaker 2: because it is a travesty, man. It is disgusting. So
- 32:21Speaker 2: I will talk about that at the end of the show.
- 32:23Speaker 2: At Game two Detroit Washington, Jack Flaherty was gonna pitch yesterday.
- 32:27Speaker 2: He is now pitching in Game two today against Mackenzie Gore,
- 32:30Speaker 2: so he gets he has to face a much better
- 32:33Speaker 2: pitcher in this game. So that sucks for flarity. Flaherty
- 32:37Speaker 2: has not been pitching well recently. Man this season not
- 32:40Speaker 2: great either, four point eight ERA, one point two to
- 32:43Speaker 2: three whip. He's been really bound on the road six
- 32:46Speaker 2: point one to seven roady IRA, and he's been bad
- 32:49Speaker 2: over his last few starts for the most part. A
- 32:51Speaker 2: six point eight forty array in June twenty eight to
- 32:54Speaker 2: sixteen strike a walk ratio, So he was not good
- 32:57Speaker 2: in June, walking way too many guys walking at least
- 33:00Speaker 2: three over his last four starts a piece.
- 33:04Speaker 1: He had two starts in a row where he gave
- 33:06Speaker 1: up fifteen.
- 33:06Speaker 2: Runs and didn't even make it past four and two
- 33:09Speaker 2: thirds innings, and either of them bounced back a little
- 33:12Speaker 2: bit against the A's and home, but Detroit's better at home.
- 33:16Speaker 2: He struck out seven, which was good, but he still
- 33:18Speaker 2: walked four guys in that start, so that's still a
- 33:20Speaker 2: little bit of a cause for alarm. I don't think
- 33:23Speaker 2: Flaherty is totally back here. He's in bad form. He
- 33:26Speaker 2: does have good numbers against Washington in his history though,
- 33:28Speaker 2: sixty eight at bats, eighteen to five strail walker ratio,
- 33:32Speaker 2: two PHO six average, six forty three ops. So Flowerty
- 33:35Speaker 2: has done well against Washington in the past, but you
- 33:38Speaker 2: have to kind of line that up with him being
- 33:40Speaker 2: in bad form, and I think him being in bad form,
- 33:43Speaker 2: I think that kind of trumps his matchup numbers against Washington.
- 33:48Speaker 2: It just becomes a situation where I don't quite want
- 33:50Speaker 2: to get involved in the game. And then McKenzie Gore
- 33:52Speaker 2: on the other side has been pretty good. Three point
- 33:55Speaker 2: zero nine ERA, is slightly high, one point two WHIP.
- 33:58Speaker 2: He's been really good at home point two to seven
- 34:00Speaker 2: home THERA pretty good in June as well over five starts,
- 34:05Speaker 2: a two point nine to three ERA and a twenty
- 34:07Speaker 2: eight to nine strail walk ratio, but his walk numbers
- 34:10Speaker 2: increased as well. He walked seven over the last two outings.
- 34:13Speaker 2: It was against the Dodgers and San Diego on the
- 34:15Speaker 2: road though, so a couple of pretty good offenses. But
- 34:19Speaker 2: maybe he's not a great form either right now. Gore
- 34:21Speaker 2: and Washington has lost his last four starts. But he
- 34:24Speaker 2: also barely got any run support in most of those games.
- 34:27Speaker 2: So that's kind of a problem when you're a good
- 34:29Speaker 2: pitcher and you don't have a good offense backing you.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Detroit really has very little experience against Gore, so I
- 34:36Speaker 2: think Gore does have the edge over Flowerty in this game.
- 34:40Speaker 2: Detroit only his two hitters we've ever seen it before,
- 34:42Speaker 2: and they're two for six off him lifetime with the
- 34:46Speaker 2: no extra base hits, one walk, one strikeout.
- 34:48Speaker 1: So not a whole lot to read into there.
- 34:50Speaker 2: When I looked at the money earlier, though, the money
- 34:52Speaker 2: was actually coming in against Gore. As you see, Detroit
- 34:56Speaker 2: has actually flipped from plus one o four to minus
- 34:58Speaker 2: one to eight. Here they a public in both games,
- 35:01Speaker 2: seventy four percent tickets, eighty seven percent of the cash
- 35:03Speaker 2: on Detroit.
- 35:04Speaker 1: You're in game two.
- 35:07Speaker 2: I think part of the feeling is probably that, well,
- 35:09Speaker 2: Detroit has a bullpen game going in game one, right,
- 35:12Speaker 2: so that means Detroit's gonna use a lot of their
- 35:14Speaker 2: bullpen in game one. But then again, Washington has a
- 35:17Speaker 2: really bad bullpen, so I think it kind of becomes
- 35:20Speaker 2: a wash though, So if I was looking at this game,
- 35:23Speaker 2: you're getting Washington as an underdog here as an anti
- 35:26Speaker 2: public underdog with what I think is the better starter
- 35:29Speaker 2: or who I think is the better starter and Gore,
- 35:31Speaker 2: I would probably look to Washington moneyline in the first
- 35:35Speaker 2: five innings and just don't deal with the bullpens, but
- 35:38Speaker 2: just go with the starting pitching matchup there. I would
- 35:41Speaker 2: probably lean that way, Washington moneyline first five innings in
- 35:46Speaker 2: game two, and then in game one, like I said,
- 35:47Speaker 2: the money was looking like it was indicating on Washington
- 35:51Speaker 2: in the first game there wherever the hell that is
- 35:55Speaker 2: this board is all over the place, man, this is
- 35:58Speaker 2: the interleague, and then the other ones are listed is
- 36:00Speaker 2: right in games for whatever reason, the extra games that
- 36:03Speaker 2: are kind of all the first games in the afternoon. Yeah,
- 36:06Speaker 2: so the money in game one is coming in on
- 36:08Speaker 2: Washington for whatever reason, even though Trevor Williams pretty bad.
- 36:12Speaker 2: So I would probably be looking at an over in
- 36:15Speaker 2: game one, to be honest, but it's very public. Ninety
- 36:18Speaker 2: three percent take as ninety six percent of the cash
- 36:20Speaker 2: on the over totals dropped a little from nine and
- 36:22Speaker 2: a half to nine. Osmakers threw it out at a
- 36:25Speaker 2: nine for a reason, though man total a lot lower
- 36:29Speaker 2: in Game two, because the starting pitchers are obviously better
- 36:31Speaker 2: at eight in Game two.
- 36:33Speaker 1: So I probably would say over in.
- 36:35Speaker 2: Game one and Washington moneyline first five innings Game two
- 36:39Speaker 2: is probably the way I'm looking at those two games.
- 36:41Speaker 2: And Game two of Milwaukee and the Mets. Is Mizierowski, who.
- 36:45Speaker 1: I just mentioned.
- 36:46Speaker 2: He's dude, he's maybe one of the best young pitchers
- 36:50Speaker 2: in baseball already.
- 36:51Speaker 1: Man.
- 36:51Speaker 2: But the thing is, the secret is already is already out, man,
- 36:56Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean, Like he's no longer
- 36:58Speaker 2: a secret to the point where now Milwaukee's favored with him.
- 37:02Speaker 2: And by the way, it says undecided from the Mets here,
- 37:05Speaker 2: but they have decided. It looks like on Blade Tidwell starting.
- 37:08Speaker 2: So I talked about Slade Chaconi the other day. Oh,
- 37:11Speaker 2: Slade sounds like Blade the vampire hunter. Blade Tidwell actually
- 37:15Speaker 2: is named Blade. I mean, if that's really his legal name,
- 37:18Speaker 2: like his parents named him that. I mean, that is crazy, dude.
- 37:21Speaker 2: It's like our son is born, let's we're gonna name him,
- 37:25Speaker 2: like we're setting him up to be a vampire hunter.
- 37:28Speaker 1: Man.
- 37:28Speaker 2: But now he's a pitcher in Major League Baseball. Maybe
- 37:31Speaker 2: he's going for the next of major league hitters. Man,
- 37:34Speaker 2: I don't know. Uh, But again Missierowski, I mean, he's
- 37:38Speaker 2: gotten so hyped up, especially because he just went up
- 37:41Speaker 2: against Paul Skeens and beat Paul Skeins, and I think
- 37:44Speaker 2: maybe you're not getting that much value on Missierowski anymore.
- 37:47Speaker 2: I would still lean his way though, in this second
- 37:50Speaker 2: game between Milwaukee and the Mets, because I think he's
- 37:53Speaker 2: a lot better than Tidwell. Like Tidwell is a young guy,
- 37:56Speaker 2: but we know Missierowski has amazing stuff and tid Well
- 37:59Speaker 2: has not been very good so far. So I think
- 38:01Speaker 2: you still have to look to Milwaukee in this game,
- 38:03Speaker 2: probably in the first five innings. Probably don't want to
- 38:06Speaker 2: deal with Milwaukee's bullpen, and we don't know what's gonna
- 38:08Speaker 2: happen with the bullpen usage in Game one. So I
- 38:10Speaker 2: would still lean first five innings Milwaukee in this one.
- 38:13Speaker 2: But you having a lay of price and the money
- 38:15Speaker 2: is coming in against Milwaukee in this game. Down for
- 38:19Speaker 2: minus one twenty minus one, fifteen to eighty percent of
- 38:21Speaker 2: the tickets on Milwaukee, So Missierowski drawing a lot of
- 38:24Speaker 2: the public action, eighty four percent of the cash coming
- 38:27Speaker 2: in on the Mets though, So the Mets look like
- 38:29Speaker 2: they're getting the money in that game. I'm kind of
- 38:32Speaker 2: surprised by that though, to be honest, I mean, Miszierowski.
- 38:35Speaker 2: He's been really really good obviously, one point one to
- 38:38Speaker 2: three ERA point six y three whip. His ERA is
- 38:41Speaker 2: a little bit worse on the road at three, but
- 38:44Speaker 2: like very small sample size whatever. His team has won
- 38:47Speaker 2: all three of his starts so far. He walked a
- 38:50Speaker 2: lot in the first game. He had four walks in
- 38:52Speaker 2: his first game, but he settled down nicely overall nineteen
- 38:55Speaker 2: to seven, strike a walk ratio fourteen to three over
- 38:58Speaker 2: his last two starts.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Who of his three starts have been five innings shutouts.
- 39:03Speaker 2: He's only allowed three hits in sixteen innings, which is
- 39:05Speaker 2: really the insane part of all this. So that he
- 39:08Speaker 2: faced somewhat weak offenses Pittsburgh, Minnesota, and then he did
- 39:12Speaker 2: face Saint Louis in his major league debut, who's a
- 39:15Speaker 2: little bit of a better offense than the other two.
- 39:18Speaker 2: So he is stepping up in class. This is gonna
- 39:20Speaker 2: be the best offense that he's faced so far. But
- 39:24Speaker 2: he is a really good young picture with great stuff.
- 39:26Speaker 2: I mean He's a power pitcher. He throws over one
- 39:29Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour very consistently, has like a really
- 39:32Speaker 2: nasty hard slider as well, and I think he does
- 39:36Speaker 2: fairly well with a curve and maybe a change up
- 39:38Speaker 2: as well. So Missierowski, he's got all the stuff, man,
- 39:41Speaker 2: it's just a matter of stepping up in class.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Here.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Are the Mets gonna be able to get to him
- 39:46Speaker 2: a little bit? I don't know, because again, a guy
- 39:48Speaker 2: with stuff like he has against a lineup that's never
- 39:51Speaker 2: seen him before tends to me an advantage to the
- 39:54Speaker 2: pitcher and then the Mets with Tidwell starting. If we
- 39:57Speaker 2: look at his numbers here, he has not been good
- 40:00Speaker 2: three starts, although he is still a young guy as well,
- 40:02Speaker 2: but he has not been effective in the majors ten
- 40:05Speaker 2: point one three ERA two point four to four whip.
- 40:08Speaker 2: He hasn't made a four innings in any of his
- 40:10Speaker 2: three starts. He also faced Saint Louis and Pittsburg, so
- 40:13Speaker 2: he has two common opponents with Mizzierowski, and he did
- 40:17Speaker 2: way worse and he also lost against Philadelphia.
- 40:20Speaker 1: He has not pitched at.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Home yet though, so this will be his home major
- 40:24Speaker 2: league debut. He did go on the road for all
- 40:26Speaker 2: three starts so far, but still he was not good.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Gave up twelve and runs and ten and two thirds
- 40:31Speaker 2: eighteen hits, two of them runs.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Actually crazy.
- 40:35Speaker 2: He's pitched like eight fewer innings than Mizzierowski has, but
- 40:39Speaker 2: he's allowed fifteen more hits than Mizzierowski has.
- 40:42Speaker 1: That's insane. He's allowed almost six.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Times as many hits in almost half the innings that
- 40:49Speaker 2: mis Zierowski has pitched.
- 40:51Speaker 1: That is just insane.
- 40:53Speaker 2: And he has a seven to eight strike a walk ratio,
- 40:55Speaker 2: which is not good. So it doesn't look good for
- 40:57Speaker 2: Tidwell here, even though of course Milwaukee has never seen before.
- 41:00Speaker 2: But even though the money is not agree with Missy Eerrawskin.
- 41:03Speaker 2: I think maybe it's just because the professional better is
- 41:07Speaker 2: are probably feeling well. You probably shouldn't like maybe Missy
- 41:10Speaker 2: Rowski because he's such a young guy. Maybe we're jumping
- 41:12Speaker 2: the gun here and he shouldn't be favored on the road.
- 41:15Speaker 1: But I don't know, man. I mean, he is the.
- 41:17Speaker 2: Better that two starters, so I would be looking again
- 41:20Speaker 2: Milwaukee first five innings in that game. I won't elevate
- 41:23Speaker 2: it to being a play. Although I was considering it
- 41:26Speaker 2: big beautiful balls. That is correct. You do not want
- 41:30Speaker 2: to bet on me, man, I don't know upcoming podcasts.
- 41:36Speaker 2: I was on Leighton's podcast the other night, Outlawed Thoughts.
- 41:40Speaker 1: That was the most recent appearance that I did. Go
- 41:43Speaker 1: to Boston. Yeah, that's right.
- 41:45Speaker 2: Actually, you can bet at the Encore and then run
- 41:49Speaker 2: down and throw the tickets into the Boston Harbor. The
- 41:51Speaker 2: problem is the teep already actually happened in like the
- 41:53Speaker 2: south part of the Boston Harbor, and the Encore is
- 41:55Speaker 2: up on the north part of the Harbor. Running for
- 42:00Speaker 2: president and winning, I think he might run in twenty
- 42:05Speaker 2: twenty eight or whatever. I there's no way he'll win.
- 42:09Speaker 2: I mean, he'll be stopped like Ron Paul does. The
- 42:12Speaker 2: media will go We'll go on an all out blitz
- 42:14Speaker 2: campaign against him.
- 42:17Speaker 1: Live commentary on games. No, I have not done that.
- 42:21Speaker 2: There's just too much for me to do, Man. I
- 42:23Speaker 2: do this in the morning. It takes a lot to
- 42:25Speaker 2: do the show, so I have to do all this research.
- 42:28Speaker 2: Like I'm spending hours on this, and it made sense
- 42:31Speaker 2: when I was actually trying to win money, even though
- 42:33Speaker 2: now I'm actually, as I point out, I'm not actually
- 42:35Speaker 2: putting money on these games right now? Yeah, very zesty, Missierowski. Yeah,
- 42:43Speaker 2: start gambling, dude. You can take my tips for what
- 42:46Speaker 2: they're worth here. All right, let me get to the
- 42:51Speaker 2: rest of these games here, man, this is gonna be
- 42:52Speaker 2: way too long a video, though.
- 42:53Speaker 1: I'm through a lot of the games. I got through
- 42:55Speaker 1: all the doubleheaders. All right.
- 42:58Speaker 2: What games have I not talked about yet? Minnesota Miami?
- 43:02Speaker 2: This game was an undergame yesterday. It was a game
- 43:04Speaker 2: that I gave out on the show. That was the
- 43:05Speaker 2: only game that actually took place yesterday. I gave out
- 43:08Speaker 2: on the show, and it was an easy underwinner that
- 43:10Speaker 2: I gave out for you. Both starting pitchers did well.
- 43:15Speaker 2: Bullpens did not see a lot of usage yesterday. Although
- 43:18Speaker 2: Minnesota's bullpend, I mean, they really fell off pretty recently.
- 43:23Speaker 1: So where's Miami's is bad? Though?
- 43:25Speaker 2: If you look at the bullpen U said year Miami
- 43:27Speaker 2: bad bullpen. Minnesota has actually fallen behind Miami's though, so
- 43:31Speaker 2: that is crazy. So we are looking at two bullpens
- 43:33Speaker 2: and aren't very good here, but they are rested.
- 43:36Speaker 1: At least Simeon Woods.
- 43:38Speaker 2: Richardson is pitching from Minnesota, because I think Lopez must
- 43:41Speaker 2: be hurt, so Woods Richardson has to come back into
- 43:44Speaker 2: the rotation. He was decent last year, but I think
- 43:47Speaker 2: now that the league is figuring him out. He's not
- 43:49Speaker 2: a pitcher that has really good stuff, so he has
- 43:51Speaker 2: not been pitching that well here four point six three
- 43:53Speaker 2: ERA one point three to nine whip, not very good.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Worris on the Road five point five to three road
- 43:59Speaker 2: ERA decent in June over four starts, three point nine
- 44:03Speaker 2: two ERA, seventeen to eight strike out walk ratio.
- 44:06Speaker 1: So too many walks.
- 44:07Speaker 2: But his last three starts he actually had two shutouts
- 44:10Speaker 2: over the three starts, although his team lost three two
- 44:14Speaker 2: of those three and three out of the four in
- 44:15Speaker 2: the month of June.
- 44:17Speaker 1: But he's been pitching a little bit better as of.
- 44:19Speaker 2: Late at least, and he's going up against Jansen Junk,
- 44:23Speaker 2: who I keep making the joke he's a junk pitcher man.
- 44:26Speaker 2: His numbers are actually good this year though, three point
- 44:29Speaker 2: seven to three ERA, one point one to five whip,
- 44:31Speaker 2: but he spent a lot of it coming well. Actually, no,
- 44:34Speaker 2: I thought he was pitching out of the bullpen earlier
- 44:36Speaker 2: this year, but I guess I'm wrong. He's not made
- 44:37Speaker 2: that many appearances I think he did come out of
- 44:40Speaker 2: the bullpen for some of these appearances earlier in the season,
- 44:43Speaker 2: but he was a long relief man and he's joined
- 44:45Speaker 2: the starting rotation. He was doing okay until his last start,
- 44:48Speaker 2: where he did not do well at San Francisco, who's
- 44:51Speaker 2: not a very intimidating offense, and he gave up five runs,
- 44:54Speaker 2: eight hits, three and two thirds innings, one strikeout, no walks.
- 44:58Speaker 2: He didn't pitch well in that game, man, So I
- 44:59Speaker 2: think Junk is starting to show that he's Junk again.
- 45:03Speaker 2: The Minnesota has never seen him before, except Correa is
- 45:06Speaker 2: zero for two off him, So we'll Junk have a
- 45:09Speaker 2: little bit of an edge here because they haven't seen
- 45:11Speaker 2: him before.
- 45:11Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 45:12Speaker 2: And Woods Richardson, by the way, against Miami, they haven't
- 45:14Speaker 2: seen that much of him either. They only have five
- 45:16Speaker 2: hitters have seen him before. They're three for five off in,
- 45:19Speaker 2: one walk, one strikeout, six hundred average one two hundred
- 45:23Speaker 2: and sixty seven ops. So they have done well against
- 45:26Speaker 2: him in a very small sample size. But both pictures
- 45:29Speaker 2: are fairly unfamiliar to the opposing hitters. So what do
- 45:31Speaker 2: we want to do with this?
- 45:32Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 45:33Speaker 2: The money's coming in against Minnesota though, so the market read,
- 45:36Speaker 2: the most strong market read is saying Miami as a
- 45:39Speaker 2: home underdog here, even though they won yesterday sixty six
- 45:42Speaker 2: percent to take it sixty two percent of the cash
- 45:44Speaker 2: on Minnesota, so they're a public road favorite here and
- 45:48Speaker 2: they've dropped for minus one thirty to minus one sixteen.
- 45:50Speaker 2: So the money is saying to take the shot on
- 45:53Speaker 2: Miami here again, and Miami has been kind of hot
- 45:55Speaker 2: recently surprisingly excuse me, so I don't necessarily have much
- 46:02Speaker 2: of a reason to disagree with that. I mean, as
- 46:04Speaker 2: we saw, small sample size, but Woods Richardson hasn't done
- 46:08Speaker 2: well when he's faced Miami in those few at bats.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Junk at least is less familiar to Minnesota and has
- 46:15Speaker 2: done okay in those at bats, So we'll see what happens.
- 46:18Speaker 2: Yankees are at Toronto. Toronto blasted the Yankees yesterday. That
- 46:23Speaker 2: was an afternoon game yesterday, Toronto with a twelve to
- 46:25Speaker 2: five win.
- 46:27Speaker 1: Toronto has won both games of the series so far.
- 46:30Speaker 2: So on the one hand, you think, well, the Yankees
- 46:32Speaker 2: are probably gonna bounce back here, and the Yankees did
- 46:34Speaker 2: use less of their bullpen yesterday.
- 46:36Speaker 1: Even I think Toronto has the better bullpen.
- 46:39Speaker 2: As you can see here, they are basically a top
- 46:42Speaker 2: third bullpen. The Yankees are kind of middle of the pack,
- 46:44Speaker 2: but I think it kind of evens out because Toronto
- 46:47Speaker 2: used a lot of their bullpen yesterday. Will Warren is
- 46:49Speaker 2: pitching for the Yankees here. He's been okay, four point
- 46:52Speaker 2: three seven e RA, one point three to two whip.
- 46:55Speaker 2: He's been worse on the road though, five point five
- 46:58Speaker 2: to four ROADYRA. He's been a strikeout pitcher, but he's
- 47:01Speaker 2: been worse on the road, and he's been walking too
- 47:04Speaker 2: many guys as you can see here. A two point
- 47:06Speaker 2: eight to sixty r in June over five starts was good.
- 47:09Speaker 2: The Yankees won four of those starts, but he faced
- 47:11Speaker 2: Kansas City Anahid Baltimore as the only really good offense
- 47:15Speaker 2: or decent offense he faced was the Red Sox over
- 47:18Speaker 2: that span. He didn't do well in that game. A
- 47:20Speaker 2: thirty four to eleven strike out walk race. You had
- 47:22Speaker 2: a really high strikeout rate but a really high walk rate,
- 47:25Speaker 2: So I am concerned. I mean, walking six guys over
- 47:29Speaker 2: his last two starts is not good despite having thirteen strikeouts.
- 47:32Speaker 2: So again, Warren he's got good strikeout stuff, but he's wild.
- 47:37Speaker 2: He's facing Toronto here, and against Toronto, Toronto's actually never
- 47:41Speaker 2: seen him before, So maybe that will be a little
- 47:43Speaker 2: bit of an advantage to Will. Maybe Will Will Warren here,
- 47:48Speaker 2: maybe this will warrant leaning towards the Yankees here.
- 47:53Speaker 1: I don't know MICUs.
- 47:54Speaker 2: At least he has the advantage of not having been
- 47:56Speaker 2: seen before by Toronto's hitters. But if you look at
- 47:59Speaker 2: the market, Yankees very public, seventy nine percent of tickets,
- 48:02Speaker 2: only seventy two percent of the cash. So the money
- 48:04Speaker 2: is coming in against the Yankees here. They're up for
- 48:07Speaker 2: minus one twenty. He might have won twenty three, but
- 48:09Speaker 2: the market, Reid is saying, you can't lay a price
- 48:13Speaker 2: like that with the Yankees, with Will Warren pitching on
- 48:15Speaker 2: the road against a divisional foe who's not that bad.
- 48:18Speaker 2: So I think that's basically why the money seems to
- 48:20Speaker 2: be coming in against the Yankees here. Barrios is pitching
- 48:24Speaker 2: for the Blue Jays here, he's been pretty good three
- 48:26Speaker 2: point two sixty ra one point two to one. Whip
- 48:29Speaker 2: home road splits are basically insignificant. He's been good lately,
- 48:33Speaker 2: with a one point nine to seventy ra in five
- 48:36Speaker 2: starts in June. His team has won five of his
- 48:38Speaker 2: last six starts at one bad start at Philadelphia in
- 48:43Speaker 2: June and they were a good hitting team, and his
- 48:44Speaker 2: other four starts were all pretty good twenty four to
- 48:47Speaker 2: nine strike out walk ratio over that span, coming off
- 48:50Speaker 2: a nice seven inning shutout with eight strikeouts against the
- 48:53Speaker 2: Red Sox. But he does historically do well against the
- 48:56Speaker 2: Red Sox, and he does not do as well.
- 48:57Speaker 1: Against the Yankees.
- 48:58Speaker 2: And one hundred and forty four career at bats, he's
- 49:01Speaker 2: given up nine home runs, although five of them are
- 49:03Speaker 2: to Judge, so by the way, if you want player
- 49:05Speaker 2: props hits plus runs pass RBIs, Judge is fourteen for
- 49:08Speaker 2: thirty seven with five home runs, two doubles, six walks,
- 49:12Speaker 2: eleven RBIs and seven strikeouts, so he really does thrash
- 49:16Speaker 2: Barrios there. And when May he was nine for twenty
- 49:20Speaker 2: seven with three doubles against him but nine strikeouts to
- 49:23Speaker 2: one walk. Overall, forty five to seventeen strike a walk
- 49:27Speaker 2: ratio is not good for Barrios against the Yankees two
- 49:30Speaker 2: eighty five average eight to seventy four ops, so to me,
- 49:35Speaker 2: this does seem like the Yankees have the starting pitching edge,
- 49:39Speaker 2: even THEO Warren overall, who has been a worse pitcher
- 49:41Speaker 2: than Barrios. I think the matchup numbers kind of even
- 49:45Speaker 2: that out, so I would probably be slightly lean into
- 49:47Speaker 2: the Yankees in this game, but the market read is
- 49:50Speaker 2: completely against it, so I don't want to do that. Monetize, well,
- 49:55Speaker 2: I know I have to monetize. This show is on Spreaker,
- 49:58Speaker 2: by the way, so you can go find you can
- 50:01Speaker 2: go find the Yeah, go find me on audio, and
- 50:05Speaker 2: if you just listen to me on audio, you will
- 50:08Speaker 2: be making me some money at least because I've put
- 50:11Speaker 2: everything out through Spreaker, justin What's up Man, No, we
- 50:15Speaker 2: should not be freeing R.
- 50:16Speaker 1: Kelly. He should. He belongs with P Diddy Man.
- 50:20Speaker 2: Everybody that has the and like a single initial like
- 50:24Speaker 2: that and then a weird like second name like that. Well,
- 50:29Speaker 2: thank you the junk joke. I make that joke every
- 50:31Speaker 2: time though, joke, junk, junk jokes whatever. To get monetized
- 50:37Speaker 2: on this channel, I think I have to have five
- 50:39Speaker 2: hundred subscribers, and I've met like three hundred right now,
- 50:41Speaker 2: So let's get everybody to subscribe. Man and then we
- 50:44Speaker 2: can get some more money through that. I don't know
- 50:47Speaker 2: what that means, but you mean to go on. I
- 50:50Speaker 2: could go on rumble as well, but I don't know.
- 50:54Speaker 2: All right, Red Sox Cincinnati here. Now this is actually
- 50:59Speaker 2: somewhat of a double as well, because actually yesterday's game
- 51:01Speaker 2: got suspended, so if you did bet yesterday's game, it
- 51:04Speaker 2: will complete today and that bet will count. So the
- 51:07Speaker 2: Red Sox had a two to one lead into the
- 51:09Speaker 2: fourth inning yesterday and they're gonna finish this game in
- 51:12Speaker 2: the afternoon today. So that's something to consider here because
- 51:16Speaker 2: that means there's gonna be bullpen usage. The bullpens are
- 51:19Speaker 2: gonna have to come into that game, right because the
- 51:20Speaker 2: starters will pitch yesterday will not come out again here,
- 51:24Speaker 2: So you got to take that into account. That game
- 51:26Speaker 2: is gonna be resumed and then they're gonna play a
- 51:28Speaker 2: night game after that, so with probably used bullpens coming
- 51:32Speaker 2: into the second game. So that is definitely something you
- 51:34Speaker 2: have to keep in mind here. I would not want
- 51:36Speaker 2: to deal with the bullpens. Probably part of the reason
- 51:38Speaker 2: why the total is kind of high in this game.
- 51:41Speaker 2: Red's Red Sox here. The return of Frank onna a
- 51:44Speaker 2: Fenway Park again. Nick Martinez is pitching this game for
- 51:47Speaker 2: the Reds. Here the night game four point one two
- 51:50Speaker 2: ERA one point one to six whip is pretty good,
- 51:52Speaker 2: indicating his er maybe should be lower, but he hasn't
- 51:55Speaker 2: been as good on the road four point eight to
- 51:57Speaker 2: two road ERA. Is pitching well recently, as far as
- 52:01Speaker 2: having a twenty four to eight strike a walk ratio
- 52:04Speaker 2: in June.
- 52:05Speaker 1: He actually made a bunch of appearances in June.
- 52:07Speaker 2: Because he came out of the bullpen after he had
- 52:10Speaker 2: a really bad starting against Minnesota. They brought him out
- 52:12Speaker 2: of the bullpen for a couple of outings, it looks like,
- 52:15Speaker 2: and then they put him back in the starting rotation.
- 52:17Speaker 2: So I don't know what they're doing with Martinez, but
- 52:19Speaker 2: it does look like he is back getting a starter's
- 52:22Speaker 2: workload again. But the thing you really have to worry
- 52:25Speaker 2: about here, well, he did have a five point five
- 52:27Speaker 2: two ERA in the month of June, which isn't good,
- 52:29Speaker 2: even though his strike out walk ratio is good. He's
- 52:31Speaker 2: coming out of a great eight inning, one hit performance
- 52:34Speaker 2: against the Podrays. Gave up one run, six strikeouts, two walks.
- 52:38Speaker 2: The problem is he threw one hundred and twelve pitches, man,
- 52:41Speaker 2: And when you're going from the bullpend back into the
- 52:43Speaker 2: starting rotation and you throw one hundred and twelve pitches,
- 52:46Speaker 2: which is the most he's thrown maybe in his entire career.
- 52:50Speaker 1: I think that's a little bit worrisome.
- 52:51Speaker 2: Man.
- 52:52Speaker 1: I think he might do a bit worse in this game. Man.
- 52:55Speaker 2: And again that was at home, where he does pitch
- 52:56Speaker 2: better as well, So I think coming off with that,
- 52:59Speaker 2: I think he might have overextended Martinez. So I would
- 53:02Speaker 2: worry about that a little bit. Against the Red Sox
- 53:05Speaker 2: does not have much history. They have six at bats
- 53:07Speaker 2: against him, only a one sixty seven average four point
- 53:10Speaker 2: fifty two oh ps, so not a whole lot to
- 53:13Speaker 2: see their two strikeouts one walk. But Martinez, I definitely
- 53:17Speaker 2: worry about him being, you know, having just way over
- 53:21Speaker 2: extended himself in the last game. He's up against Brian Bayo, though,
- 53:25Speaker 2: who is also a concern. Three point four to one
- 53:27Speaker 2: ERA is pretty good, but a one point four to
- 53:29Speaker 2: four whip is not good. He's been worse at home
- 53:32Speaker 2: as well. Three point six era, al though that's not
- 53:35Speaker 2: that bad. Has Helray has been good all year. I
- 53:38Speaker 2: honestly don't understand how Bao keeps getting away with this
- 53:41Speaker 2: other than the fact that he is a ground ball pitcher.
- 53:44Speaker 2: So again, he's one of those guys where he gets
- 53:46Speaker 2: out of these jams where he puts way too many
- 53:48Speaker 2: guys on base because he induces a lot of ground balls, so.
- 53:51Speaker 1: That's been saving him. Basically.
- 53:53Speaker 2: In the month of June, he had a two point
- 53:54Speaker 2: eight seven ERA, but he had a bad twenty three
- 53:57Speaker 2: to ten strikeout walk ratio that is way too many
- 54:00Speaker 2: yet again, even though he didn't allow more than the
- 54:02Speaker 2: three on runs. And then he started and he actually
- 54:03Speaker 2: started going deeper into games, finally going at least six
- 54:07Speaker 2: innings in all five of those starts, but the Red
- 54:09Speaker 2: Sox lost four out of the five starts. BeO actually
- 54:12Speaker 2: stopped getting a lot of run support. He was getting
- 54:14Speaker 2: a lot of run support and that kind of just
- 54:17Speaker 2: completely stopped, which is kind of crazy. So BeO has
- 54:20Speaker 2: actually been pitching a little bit better, but I still
- 54:23Speaker 2: don't trust him. He's thrown way too many pitches out
- 54:26Speaker 2: of the zone. He's walking too many guys against the Reds.
- 54:29Speaker 2: They have thirty at bats against him and they have
- 54:31Speaker 2: a three hundred average against him. In a nine to
- 54:33Speaker 2: twenty three oh ps, so that is not good. Even
- 54:35Speaker 2: though the eight to one straight a walk ratio is
- 54:37Speaker 2: pretty good, Bao has not done that well against the Reds,
- 54:40Speaker 2: So this game.
- 54:41Speaker 1: I'm leaning over in the full game.
- 54:44Speaker 2: Here that the Red Sox have against the Reds and
- 54:46Speaker 2: if the bullpens get used a lot in that suspended
- 54:50Speaker 2: game the resumed.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Game, it's gonna be even worse.
- 54:53Speaker 2: Total is sitting at nine and a half of though it
- 54:54Speaker 2: looks like some of the juice on the over has
- 54:56Speaker 2: gone away. Red Sox a run for at his oney
- 54:58Speaker 2: team MutS won thirty. It looks like the Red Sox
- 55:00Speaker 2: might not have Bao pitching here as well, because now
- 55:03Speaker 2: they're listed as having an undecided pitcher. So I don't
- 55:05Speaker 2: know what's happening with the Red Sox here. But if
- 55:08Speaker 2: it's somebody other than Bao who's also bad, I mean,
- 55:11Speaker 2: which is likely the case. If it's anybody pretty much,
- 55:14Speaker 2: then you might want to be looking towards the over
- 55:18Speaker 2: still in this game. But if it's gonna be somebody
- 55:20Speaker 2: like Kyle Harrison or something, you might have to like
- 55:22Speaker 2: rehandicap this man because he's been in the National League.
- 55:25Speaker 2: Gotta look at what his numbers are against Cincinnati, but
- 55:27Speaker 2: I don't really know what's gonna happen here. Man, Red
- 55:30Speaker 2: Sox got those guys in that trade. Harrison's been pitching
- 55:33Speaker 2: in Triple A. Jordan Hicks actually finally pitched yesterday in
- 55:36Speaker 2: a relief role, and he actually looked pretty good. So
- 55:39Speaker 2: hopefully he becomes good for the Red Sox.
- 55:41Speaker 1: It looks like they're using him as a.
- 55:42Speaker 2: Late inning reliever. Yeah, I said, ground ball pitcher. But yes,
- 55:48Speaker 2: all right, and let's go too. We gotta finish this off. Man.
- 55:53Speaker 1: A lot of people in the chat, which I do appreciate.
- 55:56Speaker 2: Anaheim at Atlanta, man Uh, Atlanta los yesterday four to nothing,
- 56:01Speaker 2: So again, Atlanta might be a little bit pissed and
- 56:04Speaker 2: might want to bounce back from that and play a
- 56:06Speaker 2: little bit better after getting shut out yesterday. Of course,
- 56:11Speaker 2: Anaheim is a terrible bullpen. Neither bullpen is that good,
- 56:13Speaker 2: and Anaheim used a little bit more of theirs yesterday's. Shockingly,
- 56:17Speaker 2: Tyler Anderson shut out Atlanta yesterday.
- 56:20Speaker 1: That is not something I expected. So probably both bullpens.
- 56:25Speaker 2: You don't really want to put any stock into the
- 56:28Speaker 2: bullpens coming into this one. We do have Kakuchi pitching
- 56:31Speaker 2: for the Angels here, and he's been okay. Two point
- 56:34Speaker 2: seven to ninety RA very good. One point three to
- 56:36Speaker 2: seven whip is not that good. He's walking too many
- 56:39Speaker 2: guys worse on the road four point four to seven
- 56:42Speaker 2: roady Ray, So he's been a lot worse on the road.
- 56:44Speaker 1: But he's been in good form recently.
- 56:46Speaker 2: Over the month of June, he had a two point
- 56:48Speaker 2: two five ERA and a forty one to nine strike
- 56:50Speaker 2: a walk ratio. So since he walked five guys against
- 56:53Speaker 2: the Red Sox, he actually settled way down. He's walked
- 56:57Speaker 2: one to zero and one over the last four hours.
- 57:00Speaker 2: Over the last three he's struck out ten, nine and twelve,
- 57:04Speaker 2: So all of a sudden, Kakuchi is striking out a
- 57:06Speaker 2: lot of guys and not walking as many guys, so
- 57:08Speaker 2: he has kind of found his groove again. Man, he
- 57:13Speaker 2: is in really good form right now. And he bounced
- 57:15Speaker 2: back and pitched well against the Red Sox even though
- 57:17Speaker 2: they had just seen him, so he is looking really
- 57:19Speaker 2: good right now. Against the Braves, they have good numbers
- 57:23Speaker 2: against him though, in sixty eight at bats of two
- 57:24Speaker 2: ninety four average eight sixty three ohps, seventeen to four
- 57:28Speaker 2: string a walk ratio is pretty good for Kakuchi, but
- 57:30Speaker 2: the Braves have hit him well historically. But again, he's
- 57:34Speaker 2: in really good form right now. He's up against Fuentes,
- 57:37Speaker 2: who is a young twenty year old pitcher for the Braves.
- 57:40Speaker 2: He does have good stuff, but it is not translated
- 57:43Speaker 2: to the majors.
- 57:44Speaker 1: In his two starts so far. I mentioned him yesterday
- 57:46Speaker 1: because he was almost slated to pitch yesterday. He's got a.
- 57:49Speaker 2: Ten point EIGHTYRA and one point eight whip, which is
- 57:51Speaker 2: not good. Both of his starts so far have been
- 57:53Speaker 2: on the road, so this is gonna be his first
- 57:56Speaker 2: home start and we'll see how he does. Obviously, he
- 57:59Speaker 2: at least has the one advantage of Anaheim not having
- 58:03Speaker 2: seen him before. But even so, he just hasn't really
- 58:05Speaker 2: pitched very effectively. He's given up three home runs already
- 58:09Speaker 2: in fourteen hits, tenor and runs in eight and to
- 58:11Speaker 2: third innings. Four to one strike a walk ratio is fine,
- 58:13Speaker 2: but the rest of those numbers are not good.
- 58:15Speaker 1: He's getting hit hard. I don't think we.
- 58:18Speaker 2: Could trust Fuente as even though Anaheim is due to regress.
- 58:22Speaker 1: Man.
- 58:22Speaker 2: I mean, the thing about this is that Atlanta is
- 58:24Speaker 2: not as bad as their record looks, and Anaheim is
- 58:27Speaker 2: worse than their record looks. Man Anaheim has a really
- 58:30Speaker 2: bad run differential, Atlanta's run differential is not that bad
- 58:34Speaker 2: this year, so their records are very misleading so far. Atlanta, though,
- 58:38Speaker 2: in this game, they're down for mist one forty to one,
- 58:41Speaker 2: twenty seventy percent of tickets, fifty nine percent of the cash.
- 58:44Speaker 2: So Atlanta's public and the money is saying to fade
- 58:46Speaker 2: Atlanta here.
- 58:48Speaker 1: And I don't really disagree with him.
- 58:49Speaker 2: I mean, Kakuchi is in way better for him right now,
- 58:51Speaker 2: so maybe first five inning Anaheim makes sense just to
- 58:55Speaker 2: go with Kakuchi and avoid that horrible Anaheim bullpen. Uh
- 59:01Speaker 2: well yeah, cock Couchie, that's right, just Coochie in general. Yeah,
- 59:06Speaker 2: sounds ridiculous. Cleveland at the Chicago Cubs is gonna be
- 59:09Speaker 2: the ESPN game in the night here. Cubs just beat
- 59:14Speaker 2: Cleveland yesterday five to two. I gave that out as
- 59:16Speaker 2: a lien on the show.
- 59:17Speaker 1: I wish I'd given it as a play because I
- 59:19Speaker 1: liked Boyd yesterday.
- 59:20Speaker 2: Facing his former team. Uh, neither bullpen saw a ton
- 59:24Speaker 2: of usage yesterday. A Cubs bullpen probably a little bit better.
- 59:27Speaker 2: Cubs did use a couple of their better relief pitchers yesterday,
- 59:32Speaker 2: though this game is gonna have Tanner Baby pitching for Cleveland.
- 59:36Speaker 2: Here he's starting to pitch really well again though he's
- 59:38Speaker 2: definitely Cleveland's best starter or three point ninety RA at
- 59:41Speaker 2: one point one eight whip. He's been worse on the
- 59:44Speaker 2: road though, four point nine to six e ras. That
- 59:46Speaker 2: has definitely something to watch out for. In June, he
- 59:49Speaker 2: was quite good with a thirty two to five strike
- 59:51Speaker 2: a walk ratio, had really good command in June three
- 59:54Speaker 2: point nine to eighty RA. But he gets no run
- 59:56Speaker 2: support and his team is lost.
- 59:58Speaker 1: What is this?
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: Seven of his last nine games, he's getting absolutely no
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: run support, even though he's been pitching pretty well, so
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: that is obviously a concern. The Cleveland just can't hit
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: at all Man against the Cubs, even though they were
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: really good offense. Biby has actually done really well against him.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: In seventeen at bats, one eighteen average, allowed three eighty
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: seven ops, so.
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: He has done really well.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Only allowed one extra base hit a double from Kyle Tucker.
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: But yeah, Biby does look like he matches up well
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: against the Cubs. He's going up against show to emon Naga,
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: who is really good two point five for ERA one
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: point zero three whip.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: He's been worse at home though, at Wrigley.
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: So far, he's giving up six of the seven home
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: runs he's allowed this year at home four point five
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: eighty ra at homes, So the long ball has been
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: a problem for iman Naga at home.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: But he was so good last.
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: Year man that I think he's gonna continue to be
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: good this year. I think it's just kind of a
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: matter of time. I mean, he's not allowed a whole
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: lot of hits at all. He did just come back
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: from injury and he had a five inning shutout, pretty
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: efficient seventy bitch has only allowed one hit to Saint Louis,
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: three strikeouts, one walks.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: That was a nice return start for Imanaga.
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: So I think he is coming back and he is
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: probably in decent form right now, and he's gonna basically
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: be back to where he was quite quickly against Cleveland,
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: though his numbers actually aren't that good in eighteen at
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: bats a two seventy eight to average allowed in seven
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: ninety four ohps. Very small sample size though, so my
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: gauge on. This is probably still that we're gonna want
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: to be looking towards unders in this game, but the
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: money is coming in towards an over up from seven
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: and a half to eight, basically with juice on the
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: over seventy three percent of tickets ninety six percent of
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: the cash on the over.
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: The fact that the total came.
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: Out at seven and a half kind of tells me
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: the wind shouldn't really be that much of a concern
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: today at Wrigley, Like it wouldn't be blowing out, I
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: guess or anything like that. And it is a night game,
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: so it'll be a little bit less hot in Chicago.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: So I'm still thinking this looks like an under matchup
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: to me, man, but the market seems to be.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: Disagreeing with it.
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: I think both bullpends are indecent shape coming into this one,
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: and they're not horrible bullpens, so that would kind of
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: be the way that I would be leaning in this game.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: But looks like the money is disagreeing with me, and
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: the money is coming in on the Cubs, even though
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: to me looks like they're kind of favored by too much.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: They're down for might just one sixty. You might have
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: won fifty seven sixty five percent of tickets. Public is
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: obviously going to be on the Cubs. Cleveland is just
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: playing awful eighty nine percent of the cash on the Cubs.
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: But again, I think it's a little bit of a
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: tax man because the Cubs have a better record. Everybody
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: knows I Monaga's pretty good, and looking at those matchup
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: numbers I just showed you, I think maybe that line's
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: a little bit too high, man, and maybe there is
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: some value in maybe looking to fade the Cubs here
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: as well. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: give out a play on this, but that's the way
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: that I look at that game. Rall, what's up? Man?
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: All right? Well, dude, do I have to prove it
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: to you? Like, what are we doing here? Fifty bucks
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: per push up? Seems like it is worth it.
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: But by the way, Rale, I have him blocked on
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: Twitter because he is a fucking asshole. All he does
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: is just harassed pretty much everybody. He's a schitzo fucking idiot,
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: and all he does is just reply with bullshit on
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: every post like just yeah, with nothing productive at all.
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: So rab fuck you man, all right, Baltimore Texas. Texas
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: won yesterday to end to two after losing to end
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: to six in the first game, So some very disparate
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: results in the first two. I gave out Texas as
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: a lean on the show yesterday and to Grom didn't
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: let us down. He didn't let anybody down. To Grom
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: was really good in the game yesterday. Orioles used a
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: lot of their bullpend yesterday too, so we have a
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: more rested bullpend on the side of the Rangers and
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: they other way better bullpen.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: So Texas debinitely has a bullpen edge here.
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: So Gano was pitching for Baltimore here and he's starting
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: to not pitch that well. He was pitching well earlier
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: in the season, I think when you know, hitters had
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: not really figured him out yet. Now they're starting to
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: figure out out a little bit, and he's not doing
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: as well. Four point zero six ERA, one point two
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: to five whip not that great. He's been better on
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: the road though, three point two two ERA, and he
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: is facing a weak Texas offense here. Toronto's won four
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: of his last five starts, even though he had a
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: six point two ERA in June. Really started pitching poorly
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: seventeen to eight string a walk ratio wasn't good either.
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: Give up way too many hits, which is really the
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: problem because the reason why he was doing so well earlier.
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: Earlier in the season, he wasn't giving up that many hits,
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: but now he is, and he's given up way too
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: many home runs seventeen home runs, including six in June.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: So the long ball has been a huge problem for him.
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: So that is definitely an issue, even though he was
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: getting a ton of run support in June helping him
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: out there. I don't know if what Sugano was doing
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: is sustainable, but Texas has never seen him before and
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: they are a week offense, so Sugano might actually do
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: okay in this game, just have the upper hand just
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: because he's facing an offense that hasn't seen him before.
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: He's up against ev He was having a really good
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: season one point eight seven e Ra point eight to
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: seven whip. He had a bad start last time out
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: against Seattle, but maybe we give him a little bit
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: of a pass for that because he was coming back
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: from a month off due to injury, so he was
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: kind of working his way back, so I expect I mean,
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: he's a veteran pitcher, so I'm expecting he's gonna be
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: back in form at some point. I mean, he was
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: too good early in the season. I'm not sure that
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: he's gonna do that for the rest of the season.
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: But I think he's gonna be better than this three inning,
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: three run performance we saw against Seattle. Two walks, two strikeouts,
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: So I think he evolved. He will start pitching better
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: against Baltimore. He has decent numbers. In ninety four at bats,
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: he has a really crazy twenty nine to zero strike
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: out walk ratio against him. Say he Evaldi definitely very
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: good at commanding his pitches. Two fifty five average and
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: six seventy ops against for Baltimore there, So e Evaldi
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: does look like I think he's gonna do well here.
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: So to me, this game looks like it's an early under.
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: I would not anything to do with Baltimore's bullpen here man,
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: So that's kind of the way that I look at
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: this game.
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: I kind of think both starting pitchers will do okay here.
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: Although again we see sixty seven percent tickets, eighty six
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: percent of the cash on the over. Money kind of
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: coming in on the over at over eight. Again, I
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: don't really agree with that, and again I would look
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: under early in the game, first five minutes and don't
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: do anything with Baltimore's bullpen.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: Texas full game I.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Think makes sense as well, because I think Evaldi should
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: do better than he did in his last start. He's
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: got good matchup numbers, He's really really good. He's the
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: more trustworthy of the two pitchers in my opinion, and
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: Texas does have the better bullpend in in way better shape.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: They're down, for my just one forty one thirty five
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: fifty tickets fifty seven percent of the cash, so the
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: cash looks like it is kind of on the side
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: of Texas. Houston at Colorado. Colorado lost six to five yesterday,
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: so it was a close game. Houston was able to
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: hold on after they had a big early lead six
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: to nothing. They almost blew the game, but they were
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: able to still finish it off. At Houston used a
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: lot of their bullpen, but so did Colorado. So Houston
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: does have the better bullpend, but both bullpends in pretty
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: bad shape coming into this game, so that's something to
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: keep in mind. But maybe Houston doesn't have to use
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: that much of theirs because Hunter Brown is pitching, and
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: he's been really good one point seven to four ERA
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: point eight nine whip. He's been a little bit worse
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: on the road two point three six, and you gotta
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: worry about how is he going to react to pitching
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: in course field, which of course is a very difficult
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: part to pitch in. But Colorado's offense does suck, and
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: Brown is not like an extreme fly ball pitcher. Houston
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: has won six starts in a row behind him. He
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: allowed no more than touring runs in any of those
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: and allowed one or fewer and five of the six
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: one point one to ninety ara in June thirty nine
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: to twelve straight out walk right.
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: He had a lot of walks in his first two.
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: Starts in June nine walks in those two starts, but
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: since then he's settled down, only walked three over the
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: last three starts, meanwhile posting twenty five strikeouts over those three.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: So Brown obviously is back and form pitching really well
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: right now. Colorado actually has mediocre numbers against him. In
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: twenty eight at bats seven to four strike a walker
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: right yere two fifty average eight awaight ops. The problem
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: with looking at the matchup stats is that that was when.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: Brown was not as good as he is now.
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: I mean, Brown's a young pitcher man, he struggled to
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: adapt to the majors and whatever. But he is an
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: ace pitcher now though, Man, I think all these stats
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: were back when Brown was not as good as he
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: is now. Something in Brown should do well. Here he's
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: up against Austin Gomber. Goober pitching for the Rockies. Not
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: good six point one four ERA, one point four to
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: three whip. I mean, the Rockies don't have a starter
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: that's good. So Gomber actually has a zero road erra,
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: which is hilarious. His ERA at home is nine point
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: three one, so he's been bad in course field. He's
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: only made three starts of Varne. He's only made one
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: on the road, but his home starts one was actually
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: not that bad, giving up one run against the Dodgers,
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: but he only put up one strikeout, so he is
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: really not striking out a lot of guys at all.
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: So Gomber, I mean, I don't think he's very good.
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: I think it might be a somber day for the
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: Rockies here is he's bad against Houston, doing a big
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: seventy at bat sample size. They have a huge four
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: hundred average against him and one thousand and sixty two
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: lbs ten to eight strikeout walk ratio, and they have
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: five home runs off him. So I think this is
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: clearly a spot where Houston has the upper hand with
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: the starting pitching matchup. I think the way that you
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: should look at this game, because there's no way you
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: can lay a price with Houston is laying here, right,
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: I mean Houston's laying where are they at up for
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: minus two forty to minus two to fifty five? They're
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: very public, ninety five percent of tickets, ninety eight percent.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: Of the cash.
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: What do you want to do in this game, in
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: my opinion, is go Houston over their team total. Even
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: though you're gonna have to probably get them to score
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: five and a half runs or maybe six runs. I
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: think they can do it. The numbers that they have
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: against Gomber are insane. You usually do not see offensive
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: numbers that are that extreme in a big sample size
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: like that. So I think Houston to score a lot
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: of runs here and then Colorado having to go to
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: their bullpen, which has already used up. I think that's
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: probably the way to look at that game would be
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: Houston to score a lot in that game. Uh yes,
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: I don't know what else is going on in the
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: chat here? Yeah, what's up guys, You guys should purge Rale.
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: In my opinion, Rale is a terrible person. I'm not
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: even being ironic about that. He's absolutely just a flaming
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: more on on Twitter. Nothing that he says is productive.
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: All he does is reply to all of our posts
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: like an absolute dipshit. He's a fucking idiot.
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: He should be purged from the ranks.
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: He's not dangerous, all right, Kansas City at Seattle and
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: I don't I mean he's not dangerous, dangerous meaning a
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: good thing in that case.
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: Seattle won the first game of this series, lost the
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: second game, so, oh my god. The Kansas City Royals
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: one another game. Kansas City is won a couple of
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: games recently.
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: Go figure.
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: Kansas City was a lot of their bullpen in that
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: game yesterday, though, so Kansas City. They have a good bullpen,
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: but their bullpen has seen a lot of usage. Noah
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: Cameron's pitching for them today. He's a good young pitcher.
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: Two point seven to ninety ra one point zero one whip.
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: He's been good on the road too, with a one
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: point one to one road e RA and he's pitching
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: in a very pitcher friendly park.
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: Here.
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: Problem is, Kansas City's given him no run support and
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: he's they've lost his last five starts. But he actually
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: hasn't been good. Over his last two starts. He started
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: to regress with six walks to six strikeouts, going five
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: and a third and four innings a piece, and he's
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: giving up two warn runs and five earned runs. Although
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: maybe we give him a little bit of a pass
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: for that last game because it was against the Dodgers,
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: they are a really good offense, and his other really
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: bad start was against the Yankees, also a really good offense.
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: So against the weaker offenses, he has been good. So
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: maybe he will do okay against Seattle, though Seattle's offense
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: has been fairly good recently. But Cameron, I'd have an
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: edge against him because he's never been seen before by Seattle,
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: So maybe you look towards Cameron to do okay here.
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: But he's been a lot worse than his last couple
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: of starts. Man, so he is not in great form
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: right now, so I do worry about that. He's facing
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert, who has a three point five to five
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: ERA point nine to two whip for Seattle. He's obviously
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: been way better at home because that's his thing. That's
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: the thing with a lot of Seattle's pitchers two point
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: three to five home ERA. Since he came back from injury,
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: he's made three starts and he's been pretty good.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: Twenty three to two strike out walk rat show is
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: really good. So that's what I was looking at, like, Oh,
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: he's definitely back. His command is really good. But he
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: did allow four earned runs in each of his last
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: two starts. But he allowed four home runs over that span,
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: so of the long ball really kind of did him
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: in and I'm gonna consider that to be more of
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: a fluke.
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: Those games were both on the road.
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen in Seattle, where it's
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: a much more pitcher friendly park. And his strikeout walk
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: numbers do tell you his command is there. Even though
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: his ERA it was five point eight to seventy RA
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: in the in the month of June. I think he
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: is pitching well based on his peripherals. Kansas City hits
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: him well, though, so that is a concern. And sixty
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: four at bats sixteen to eight strike a walk ratio
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: to eighty one average ninety eight ohps. So this is
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: a game that's hard to get a read on.
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: To be honest, I kind of like know a cameeron
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: in the starting pitching matchup, just because he's less familiar
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: and Gilbert's matchup numbers.
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: Aren't that good.
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: We do see seventy nine percent of tickets, only seventy
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: two percent of the cash on Seattle. They're up for
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: minus one sixty five to minus one seventy five, So
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: I think at least you're getting know a camera who
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: is a pretty capable starting pitcher at a big underdog
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: price there. But again it's also factoring in the fact
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: that Kansas City can't hit. I'd probably be looking maybe
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: first five innings taking a shot on Kansas City in
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: a money line underdog price, and that might be the
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: way to look. And the oddsmakers are telling you low
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: scoring as they threw the total out at seven, and
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: it's flipped from juice to.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: The over to juice on the under.
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: Fifty nine percent of tickets in fifty six percent of
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: the cash on the over. But again I worry about
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: the the under in this game with a really tight
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: number there at seven, because again, Cameron not in good
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: form right now.
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: I mean, you could argue that.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: Gilbert is in a great forum right now, Gilbert's matchup
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: numbers aren't that good, and Kansas City's bullpen is a
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: little bit tired, so I would worry about that. I
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: think probably Kansas City huge underdog prices early on in
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: the game might make sense as a way to look
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: San Francisco at Arizona. Arizona won the first two games
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: of the series. As Arizona has bounced back and San
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: Francisco continues to really struggle. They've actually been really bad
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: since the Devs trade, and Devers is not hitting, which
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: makes me feel pretty good as a Red Sox fan.
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: Neither team used a lot of their bullpen if today.
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: Zach Gallon actually finally had a really good game for once.
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: But both bullpens are in good shape here, but Arizona's
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: bullpen obviously is the worst of the two. San Francisco
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: has a really good bullpen, Arizona has a not good bullpen,
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: but I think Arizona has the better starting pitcher here.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: Is I don't really trust Land and Roupe.
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: His three point four to three ERA looks pretty good
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: here for the Giants, but a one point four to
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: four whip is not good. He's him way worse on
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: the road to four point five six road ERA and
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: all seven home runs that he's given up and been
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: on the road, and he's in a hitter friendly park
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: here in Chase Field, so he might not do well
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: in this start. He had a three point two ERA
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: in June, which looks good in five starts, but he
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: had a really bad eighteen to fourteen stray a walk
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: ratio that is a terrible ratio, walking at least two
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: in every outing. So Roupi has these crazy breaking pitches,
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: but he is not commanding them well. And his numbers
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: against Arizona a small sample size, but they're not good
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: in nine at bats three thirty three average, seven thirty
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: three ops. So I do think Arizona should be able
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: to hit Roupe here. Merril Kelly, on the other hand,
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: is pitching well and with Corbyn Burns hurt for the
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: rest of the season, Kelly has actually been the most
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: consistent starter for the Diamondbacks. Three point four nine ERA,
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: one point oh seven whip a little bit better at
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: home as well, three point three one home y Ra
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: good in the month of June as well, thirty six
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: to eight strag a walk ratio with seven strikeouts and
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: four straight starts in eight in the game before that,
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: so he's actually been really pretty consistent as well. Two
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: point seven to ninety at Ray June. Merril Kelly has
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: been pretty good man up against the Giants. They do
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: have a large sample size of one hundred and forty
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: six at bats off him.
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: Some kind of conflicting numbers here.
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: Thirty four to nine stragle walk ratio is really good,
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: two forty average is good, but a seven fifty six
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: ops is a little bit high. But I still kind
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: of air towards Merril. Kelly is pretty good against Sarrancisco.
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: He's just allowed too many home runs eight home runs
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: and nine walks, but three of the home runs and
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: five walks are all Yeazz doing that damage to him,
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: and Yeaz still hasn't even hit him that well, nine
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: for forty three, So I do think Meryl Kelly should
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: do well in this game. I think Kelly as the
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: upper hand in the starting pitching matchup, but I do
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: not want anything to do with Arizona's bulp, and so
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: I think I would probably lean to Arizona first five innings.
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: Would probably be the way to look at this.
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: They're up for mist one thirty three to miss one
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: forty two, fifty five percent ticket, sixty three percent of
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: the cash coming in in Arizona, so the money agreeing
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: with Arizona there. And then to finish it off White
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: Sox and Dodgers. I mean, Dodgers got the win yesterday
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: with Yama Moto on the mound, not surprisingly Yamamoto.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: Nice bounce backs start, really nice start.
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: Shane Smith unfortunately, because I like him and he's a
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: Boston guy there, he has struggled recently, so that's not
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: great to see. Dodgers really good offense though, and in
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: this game, you're getting a bulp end game from the
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: White Sox. As Brandon Isiert is listed as the starter,
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: his numbers aren't even good four point three to three ERA,
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: one point three to three WHIP, but looking at what
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: he's been doing, he's been pitching basically one inning consistently
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: for the most part when he's been out there, so
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: you're probably gonna get one to two innings from probably
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: fewer than two innings. So it's gonna be a White
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: Sox bulp end game here, which looks really ugly because
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: their bullpen's not good and they're going up against Kershaw,
- 1:17:59Speaker 2: who is starting to pitch well again.
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: He's returning to form.
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: Man a three point zero three ERA, one point one
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: to nine whip two point two eighty R ran five
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: starts in June. The Dodgers won all five of those starts,
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: and he had a twenty three to seven strike a
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: walk ratio, and his first start wasn't even very good
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: against the Mets. And since then he's gone five innings
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: or more in all four of the remaining four starts
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: there and allowed two or fewer and runs and all
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: of them walked two or fewer in all of them.
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: So he is returning to form quite nicely, facing a
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: bad White Sox offense, although they've actually been good against Kershaw,
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: even though only five of them have seen him before
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: in seventy at bats, they've actually had a two to
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: eighty six average eight ten ops offense, so they've actually
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: hit him pretty well.
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: Slater has three home runs.
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: Off of Kershaw there, but overall, I mean, sixteen to
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: four straggle walk ratio is not that bad. Overall, I
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: still expect Kershaw to do fairly well in this game,
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: but there's no way that you can lay minus three
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: twenty Dodgers up for minus three hundred and minus three
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: twenty ninety five to think it's ninety nine percent of
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: the cash. I'd probably be looking maybe Dodgers over their
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: team Dotle again in this one, just to blast the
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: White Sox pitching here. Although it looks like Sean Burke
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: is now listed as the starter for the White Sox,
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: so probably it looks like maybe Isert was gonna be
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: the opener, but now actually, let's take a look, it's
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: gonna be Sean Burke. But I assume the Dodgers have
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: never seen Burke before because he's also a hometown guy
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: from Boston or from the Boston area.
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: He's a young guy. Where's Burke at? Here? He is?
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: But he hasn't been pitching well. Four point two two
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: ERA one point four to two whip five point eight
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: two e RA on the road that is bad, hasn't
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: been that great recently. Well, twenty three to six strike
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: a walk right here in June is not that bad.
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: Four point two to ninety RA mediocre, But I still
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: think he's probably gonna get lit up by a pretty
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: good Dodgers offense. Even though the Dodgers haven't seen him before,
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: I still probably would say, if you have to play
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: this game, Dodgers over the team dot is probably still
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: the way to look in that game.
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: And that's gonna do it.
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: Two plays.
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: I gave out a Milwaukee Brewers underdog pricing Game one,
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: which is a carryover from yesterday. I gave it out
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: as a play yesterday and it's still the same pitching matchup.
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: And Philadelphia Phillies in Game two in the first five
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: innings at minus one thirty, and those are gonna be
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: the two plays I'm gonna give out there, Robin, what's up?
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging out. More teams named the Socks. There
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: are some in like minor leagues and stuff, no idea,
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: Thank you, Scott. All right, now, I want to get
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: this done and get this video up, especially because we
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: do have afternoon games here. Well, the video is gonna
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: be up so people can see it live, but I
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: gotta get it out on audio as well. Yeah, I'm
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: gonna talk about the BBB really quick here. The Big
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: Beautiful Bill, so the Senate version of The Big Beautiful Bill.
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: So as we saw gambling. Twitter was going crazy. I'm
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: gonna try to explain this. Yesterday, the Senate slipped this
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: portion into the bill, which is like, people are gonna
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: look at this and people that don't know what they're
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: talking about and don't know any thing about the betting
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: industry are gonna think that it is just kind of
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: a meaningless thing.
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: But it is not at all.
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: It is a horrific addition to this bill. And you
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: can find gamblers that have explained this on Twitter as
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: well if you want to look at those guys.
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: Because I'm a little bit.
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: More retired than they are, so I might not explain
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: it as well as they do.
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: But and hopefully this thing doesn't pass.
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: But I don't know me because if it gets to
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: Trump's desk, he is gonna pass it because it's that big,
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: beautiful bill. It's the biggest, it's the most beautiful. Everything
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: in here is beautiful, but it's all beautiful. We're gonna
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: pass this bill.
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: No, the bill is horrible, and this is one of
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: the worst parts of this bill. So this is what
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: the Senate added.
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm gonna try to use numbers that kind
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: of make this easier to explain. It kind of makes
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: sense here now the way that gambling has worked since
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: it's been legal, which really has only been the case
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: for the last couple of years, and it's not in
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: every state. It's a state by state, which it should
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: still just be state by statement. States should just be like, no,
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: fuck you, we're gonna reject this. So the way gambling
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: has worked is you kind of report it in a
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: couple of different ways where you get taxed on your
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: winnings as if it's income. Okay, that makes sense, So okay, cool.
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: So there are still guys who are gonna want to
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: not get tax and they're gonna still go.
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: There're offshore books.
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: Which is, you know, illegal technically, but guys that are
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: not like in Vegas and whatever, not in a place
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: where you could legally gamble before a couple of years ago,
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: we're doing that anyway, betting at the offshore books. I'm
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: not saying anything about what I was doing myself, although
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: maybe but the offshore books were a thing. But now
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: the government has kind of cracked down on the offshore
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: books to like five dimes. You can't even use it
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: anymore in the US and whatever, and they won't cater
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: to any US customers anymore. So even if you VPN
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: into their website, you can't even you're not even allowed
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: to bet with them anymore. Okay, So anyway, if this
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: bill passes, the gambling industry is maybe gonna be come
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: that again.
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: For sports betting, it's gonna be offshore books again.
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: For poker, it's gonna be way worse because poker, the
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: online poker industry got crippled in around like two thousand
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: and nine or so, because I remember I used to
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: play poker online during the heyday of it when I
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: was in college, like six oh seven around there, and
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: then the government did this very similar thing and they
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: completely cracked down on it. They did a similar thing
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: and they just wiped out, uh, basically the online poker
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: industry where they cracked down on the poker sites and
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: they basically just they made it basically completely untenable. I
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: forget exactly what they did to the poker sites, but
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: at that point, that's when I switched over to sports
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: benning because you couldn't play poker anymore from money, which
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: is completely ridiculous. You ken at casinos obviously, But anyway,
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: the online poker industry got destroyed. And this is gonna
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: destroy the online sports benning industry, and it's probably gonna
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: destroy in person poker as well. Now because what's happening
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: now is okay, the way that you get tacked, So
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: say you bet legally. The way you get tax right
- 1:24:03Speaker 2: now is you get taxed on your your income on
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: your winnings. Okay, that makes sense, right, You get taxed
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: a certain percentage on your winnings. Okay, and let's say
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: for my purposes, let's say it's you get tax fifty percent.
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: I know it's not fifty percent, but let's say that
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: it is. Okay, So say you win. Say you have
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: a year where you're a high volume player, right, So
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: say you're in sports betting, you are betting like tons
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: and tons of money, right, which when I was doing it,
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: I was probably putting up you know, I probably had
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: about three hundred thousand like in play over the course
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: of like an entire year. It adds up, right, So
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: say you do something like that, your high volume, So
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: you just want to win like fifty three to fifty
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: five percent of your bets in sports betting and then
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: you can profit on it. Right, So you have a
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: very thin razor thin margin in order to win at
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: doing this. Okay, So say you win one million, one
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: hundred thousand, Say say that's the amount that you've won
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: over the course of the year on your winning but
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: you've also lost a million.
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: Okay, so that gets split into two different numbers.
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: Right, So overall you put two hundred ten or you
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: know whatever, you had millions, hundreds of millions or wait
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: a minute, how do I want to just no, let's okay.
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: So let's say you won a million, one million, one
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: hundred thousand. Yeah, let's do it that way, and you
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: lost one million on your losing bets. Okay, So you
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: actually you won on the year, right, you were up
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: one hundred thousand. And the way that would get taxed,
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: say right now, say that your income gets taxed fifty percent.
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: That means that fifty percent comes out of that one
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: hundred thousand that you actually won, So you still you
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: would have to pay fifty thousand on that, but you
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: still won fifty thousands, so you still profit. And I
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: know I'm using an extreme example here, but that makes
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: sense to you. Right, So you still profited, and the
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: reason for that is that on your losses you're losing
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: bets that you had, they're completely tax deductible. There are
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: one hundred percent tax deductible. So that one million of
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: losing bets that you had, you don't have to declare
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: any taxes on it, zero percent, right, you don't have
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: to pay taxes on that. Now, what this is going
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: to do in the Big Beautiful Bill is that you
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: can only deduct ninety percent of the losses instead of
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: one hundred percent. So think about what that means. So
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: if in that situation, if those are the other numbers,
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: that completely eliminates your profit, because what that would mean
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: is that you can only deduct the nine hundred thousand
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: out of the million that you lost. So what that
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: essentially means is that you're getting taxed as if you
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: won two hundred thousand, or as if you you know,
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: had two hundred thousand more that you won then you lost,
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: if that makes sense, right, instead of the one hundred
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: thousand that you actually were up.
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: Because the because this is the way the taxes.
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: Are going to work, they're going to tax you as
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: if you profited two hundred thousand instead of one hundred thousand,
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: and if you pay fifty percent taxes on that, then
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: you're paying one hundred thousdacts instead of fifty thousand, which
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: means that the one hundred thousand that you won that
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: gets completely.
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: Wiped out, so you actually will profit zero.
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: And there are certain situations with like really high volume
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: players where say you're like betting in the millions just
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: to profit you know, hundreds of thousands or whatever, So
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: it is your income. You're making like a couple hundred
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: thousand a year on this, that's the way that you
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: make income. The way that the numbers could work out,
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: it could not only just wipe out your entire profit,
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: but it could make you actually have to pay the government,
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: so you actually only not profit, but it could work
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: out so that you actually lose money on it even
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: though you won money betting. So this would actually set
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: up situations where a lot of professional betters that do
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: it that way, it's completely untenable. They would not be
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: able to even do it anymore. So if that makes sense,
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: that's why this is so bad. Hopefully that makes sense.
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: I've retweeted some videos where people talk about it as well,
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: and some tweets where people have explained it, so you
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: can go check that out. If I'm not a very
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: good explainer so yet I'm explaining betting here as well.
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: Hopefully that makes sense to everybody. Thanks for hanging out everybody,
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: Learn to toad on Twitter, and good to see you
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: as well. Trying to shout out at least everybody that's
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: been in the chat here. Thanks for everybody for hanging out.
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: Learn to toad on Twitter, Give send go dot Com,
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: slash tower, ging, tot of s love if you want
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: to support me, but I probably prefer tips through venmok
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: and cash app, which are through You can do that
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: through Twitter as well. Better off Debt is now on Instagram,
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: so you can check that out as well. That is correct,
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: or it very well could eliminate all of your winnings. Yeah,
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: and more than that, yes, depending on how the numbers
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: work out.
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: So and again, when you're trying to profit by sports gambling,
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: it's razor thin man, razor thin margins. So that would
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: really it would make it basically so that you wouldn't
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: be able to win at doing it anymore. Yeah, that's
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: right man. So anyway, better off Dead is on Instagram
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: as well at off dead better, which is what I'm
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: using for the tag everywhere because I fucked it up
