- 0:55Speaker 1: So it should be a clean, fun slate in general,
- 0:59Speaker 1: and an absolute loaded pitching slate. First time so far
- 1:03Speaker 1: to start the seasonal realistically that we've had a pretty
- 1:06Speaker 1: deep pitching slate, especially at the top end. A lot
- 1:09Speaker 1: of good arms ownership's gonna be spread amongst pitching. When
- 1:13Speaker 1: we talk hitting, there's two teams that stand about the rest. Well,
- 1:16Speaker 1: I'll bring those up when we go into talk hitting.

- 2:11Speaker 2: Going up against the Dodgers should.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Be a going Yeah, should be a good one, obviously.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Fund slate I had here Yeah, I never heard of that.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Where the fuck you just said? Never never heard of
- 2:21Speaker 1: them in my life. So that shows you got more
- 2:23Speaker 1: gray hair than I got. Michael w here Stone or
- 2:27Speaker 1: Ricky Rose Lone Wolf wins a lot big ed Philly Phantom.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Congrats to Philly Fantom. Yesterday had a hell of a
- 2:34Speaker 1: fucking slate. Yesterday shipped a fifteen hundred dollars ticket for
- 2:37Speaker 1: the Tuesday contest with two hundred and fifty k up top,
- 2:40Speaker 1: So good luck in that and took them a bunch
- 2:42Speaker 1: of other cheddar cheddar cheese with that. That baseball slate
- 2:47Speaker 1: we had yesterday afternoon or yesterday morning, I should say,
- 2:50Speaker 1: there Gang Green, Lone Wolf, paira by Jake Swales. What up,
- 2:53Speaker 1: Jake Taco Totter got Hebrew cheetah Rio in here, Gregory
- 2:56Speaker 1: william Avery, everybody hit that like button, hit that subscribe button.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Helps us out a ton. We're gonna jump right in.
- 3:02Speaker 1: We don't like to waste a bunch of time on
- 3:04Speaker 1: this show over here at the Nation. We like talking
- 3:07Speaker 1: talking winners right away, so we're gonna jump right in.
- 3:10Speaker 1: We got a loaded slate, Like I said, pitching slates.
- 3:14Speaker 1: I ran a dry run with the average of projections
- 3:17Speaker 1: kind of across the industry Ours, Saber, sim and some
- 3:21Speaker 1: other place to just kind of get an idea of
- 3:23Speaker 1: what the field's gonna do here. Pitching Joe, Ryan, Gilbert,
- 3:26Speaker 1: Glass down de Gram. Those four click over to team Stacks, Dodgers,
- 3:30Speaker 1: White Sox. So that's that's the that's the landscape at hand.
- 3:34Speaker 1: We've got four arms and two teams. Reason being is
- 3:38Speaker 1: White Sox five man in that Sacramento as Ballpark out there,
- 3:42Speaker 1: that Crackerjack Park fairly solid hitting weather as well. It
- 3:46Speaker 1: allows you to double spend that pitcher, as you see here,
- 3:49Speaker 1: play five white socks and then play Dodgers mini stacks,
- 3:52Speaker 1: three man two man stacks with the Otani's of the world.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Terms of pitching, though, we have a lot of other
- 3:58Speaker 1: really good arms on the slate. We'll start eight k
- 4:01Speaker 1: and above. We got Casey Mais, who I think is
- 4:03Speaker 1: pretty interesting down there at eight K. I think he's
- 4:05Speaker 1: a solid armed range of Suarez if you wanted to
- 4:07Speaker 1: play him against a scuffling Detroit team, I don't think
- 4:10Speaker 1: it's the worst play. Jose Soriano, who's been an absolute
- 4:13Speaker 1: ace this season, does get a pretty tough matchup there
- 4:16Speaker 1: in Anaheim against the Padres, who don't strike out a ton.
- 4:19Speaker 1: But Soriano has like a thirty two percent k raid
- 4:22Speaker 1: on the season. We know he's a turrible ground baller,
- 4:25Speaker 1: so it's just really hard to kind of blow him up,
- 4:27Speaker 1: at least the way it looks. So I like him
- 4:29Speaker 1: quite a bit. At eighty two hundred, Cam Schleezler at
- 4:32Speaker 1: eighty five hundred against the Royals, we should have some
- 4:34Speaker 1: run sport behind him. He's not really gonna get played much.
- 4:37Speaker 1: And then you got four guys up the top, Gilbert
- 4:40Speaker 1: to Groum Glass, now Joe Ryan. Not much separation in
- 4:42Speaker 1: terms of salary, not much separation in terms of ownership.
- 4:45Speaker 1: They're all going to be pretty similar, thirty to forty
- 4:48Speaker 1: percent owned between the four of them. Kind of give
- 4:51Speaker 1: or take here and there, depending on what contest you're in,
- 4:53Speaker 1: but all should be relatively similar in terms of ownership.
- 4:57Speaker 1: What do you see here in terms of pitching? Where
- 4:58Speaker 1: you going him? What's a.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 5:03Speaker 3: You said, there's a there's a ton of a ton
- 5:07Speaker 3: of pitching that we love on the slate, and if
- 5:10Speaker 3: you're gonna play those Dodgers, you're gonna get a little
- 5:12Speaker 3: bit different.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Let's start at the top.
- 5:14Speaker 3: I guess with Logan Gilbert Jacob de Groam facing each
- 5:16Speaker 3: other in that ballpark that.
- 5:18Speaker 2: We know and love so much.
- 5:20Speaker 3: Logan Gilbert, you know he's not gonna get above ninety
- 5:23Speaker 3: five somewhere in that eighty five to ninety five pitch rain,
- 5:26Speaker 3: So at ninety five hundred I think him and a
- 5:29Speaker 3: Grum at ninety two hundred are great plays. We saw
- 5:32Speaker 3: ninety plus pitches out at the Groam the last time
- 5:35Speaker 3: out did Jacob de gram stuff striking nine folks out.
- 5:38Speaker 3: So I love both of those pitchers. I don't even
- 5:40Speaker 3: mind pairing them together. Now you can't pair them together
- 5:43Speaker 3: and play the Dodgers, which if you want to pivot
- 5:45Speaker 3: off the Dodgers, I think that's a great play. Tyler
- 5:48Speaker 3: Glass now, I like him as well. At eighty nine
- 5:51Speaker 3: hundred dollars, that's a pretty big discount from where you've
- 5:55Speaker 3: seen Tyler glasstyle in the past. I know he's in
- 5:59Speaker 3: and then, but he had seven strikeouts his last game.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Nine before that. We know the Rockies have struck out
- 6:05Speaker 3: a ton, So I'm all. I'm all over Glass now
- 6:08Speaker 3: as well. Joe Ryan, get the Reds out of the
- 6:11Speaker 3: Great American Small Park. All he's done is gone back
- 6:14Speaker 3: to back twenty pieces. I don't know if twenty's gonna
- 6:17Speaker 3: get get you enough to win interest to hear your
- 6:19Speaker 3: take on that, but I like Joe Ryan. He's gonna
- 6:23Speaker 3: be popular, as you alluded to. And then probably my
- 6:26Speaker 3: favorite Naids is gonna I mean, of this, of this bunch,
- 6:30Speaker 3: it's gonna be Cam Schlitzler. I'll call him seven plus
- 6:34Speaker 3: strikeouts and all four starts of his right around eighty pitches,
- 6:39Speaker 3: two thirty pieces on the season. Now he gets his
- 6:42Speaker 3: Kansas City team at home, who's been abysmal all season long.
- 6:46Speaker 3: At eighty five hundred dollars, Cam Schlittler is one of
- 6:48Speaker 3: my favorite pieces on the board tonight. Then I'll round
- 6:51Speaker 3: it out with Ranger Swarez. We know who Rangers Sworez is.
- 6:56Speaker 3: He was dynamite last year Red Sox. Red Sox went
- 6:59Speaker 3: out and got him, threw a masterpiece against the Cardinals
- 7:01Speaker 3: last last week or last time out.
- 7:03Speaker 2: He's only eighty one hundred bucks. You said it.
- 7:05Speaker 3: This Tigers team scuffle a little bit. We got that
- 7:08Speaker 3: monster out there in left field. But give me some
- 7:10Speaker 3: give me some Rangers Suarez, and then give me you
- 7:13Speaker 3: said you said it a minute ago. Give me that
- 7:14Speaker 3: guy right below him at eight k Casey Mas, same game,
- 7:18Speaker 3: two twenty plus point performances on the young season. This
- 7:22Speaker 3: Red Sox team, on paper, they looked good, but they
- 7:24Speaker 3: struggled out the gate. So man Ak and above it's loaded.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Someone said of Waka in the chat, I'm not going Waka.
- 7:31Speaker 3: I'm not going Jose Soriano either, although that may come
- 7:35Speaker 3: back to Hamy because he's been balling this season, but
- 7:38Speaker 3: you said it, Padres just don't strike out enough, and
- 7:41Speaker 3: I don't think Soriano's gonna be able to get it
- 7:42Speaker 3: done tonight with who we have pitching and who we
- 7:45Speaker 3: have hitting as well.
- 7:45Speaker 2: So I would say, how many pitchers does that? Seven?
- 7:49Speaker 2: Of the nine nades? I think AK and above I'm
- 7:51Speaker 2: in on.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Yeah. I really don't think you can go very wrong
- 7:55Speaker 1: up here at all. I'll start with Gilbert de Grim.
- 7:58Speaker 1: I love those two, both seven and have k props.
- 8:01Speaker 1: De Gram I believe slight juice or Gilbert excuse me,
- 8:04Speaker 1: slight juice to the over to gram slight juice to
- 8:07Speaker 1: the under there not really worried. One of the best
- 8:09Speaker 1: pitching ballparks in all of baseball. I like picking on
- 8:11Speaker 1: these teams, so I'm in on Gilbert and Agram. I
- 8:14Speaker 1: like both of them the time. I think pairing them
- 8:16Speaker 1: together is very interesting and very nice. You pretty much
- 8:19Speaker 1: solidify yourself, especially with these two arms, into at least
- 8:23Speaker 1: four point win win bonus for one of them, which
- 8:25Speaker 1: I do like. So I like them. Tyler Glaston, I
- 8:29Speaker 1: think is fine. I just he's gonna be the highest
- 8:31Speaker 1: known pitcher and he's pitching in coors Field, which is
- 8:34Speaker 1: by far and away the best hitting environment today. I
- 8:36Speaker 1: know it's cold in coors Field, it's like forty degrees,
- 8:39Speaker 1: but still that park plays above average. Regardless of the temperature,
- 8:43Speaker 1: it's still going to be boost here. I think he's fine.
- 8:46Speaker 1: He could definitely go out there and get you ten strikeouts.
- 8:48Speaker 1: But I just compared to the other guys, Gilbert de
- 8:51Speaker 1: Gram and Joe Ryan, who he sandwiched between. I put
- 8:54Speaker 1: those three ahead of de Gram or Glassnow excuse me,
- 8:56Speaker 1: so I like Joe Ryan is kind of my sp
- 8:59Speaker 1: three there. Love Cam Schleetler. I'm in on him. One
- 9:02Speaker 1: of my favorite plays on the entire slave at salary
- 9:04Speaker 1: at ownership. So as a pivot off the top four,
- 9:09Speaker 1: I think Schlitzler makes a ton of sense. His k
- 9:11Speaker 1: prop is good, He's been really good to start the year.
- 9:14Speaker 1: He should have run support. He's got six and a
- 9:16Speaker 1: half k PROP, which is right in line with these guys,
- 9:18Speaker 1: and he's a thousand dollars cheaper. So I do like
- 9:20Speaker 1: Schleetler a ton. I'm not playing Waka, not playing Suarez.
- 9:23Speaker 1: The other two guys I will play is Soriano and
- 9:26Speaker 1: Casey Myes and that's the bulk of my pitching pool.
- 9:28Speaker 1: It is these guys up top. I really don't have
- 9:30Speaker 1: much interest, if any down low outside of one arm
- 9:33Speaker 1: just as a leverage play overall. So for me, it's
- 9:36Speaker 1: Gilbert de Gram, Joe Ryan, Schleetler, Soriano Casey Maiz are
- 9:41Speaker 1: the main arms I'm playing up here. You could play
- 9:45Speaker 1: Swarz if you wanted to, It's not for me, Glassdow.
- 9:47Speaker 1: I'm gonna be under on it as well and just
- 9:49Speaker 1: take my chances at these other guys not pitching in Corsfield.
- 9:52Speaker 1: I get the matchup against the Rockies in that, but
- 9:53Speaker 1: the Rockies do have some bats right that can pack
- 9:56Speaker 1: a punch in there. In general, you look at their
- 9:59Speaker 1: numbers on the season, they're sitting around league average in
- 10:02Speaker 1: terms of a little above the league average. I should say,
- 10:05Speaker 1: excuse me, against right handed pitching, so he's fine, he
- 10:09Speaker 1: could definitely do it. I just add ownership. I like
- 10:11Speaker 1: the other three guys more in better pitching environments, better
- 10:14Speaker 1: pitching ballparks. In general. I will say Joe Ryan, I
- 10:18Speaker 1: like him a lot. There is a lot of strikeouts there.
- 10:20Speaker 1: And what does help him too is the Reds projected
- 10:23Speaker 1: to only have three lefties. There is win pretty heavy
- 10:26Speaker 1: wind blown out to right field, which does help that
- 10:29Speaker 1: lefty power against Joe Ryan. And Joe Ryan, we know
- 10:32Speaker 1: what he is. He's going to give up a home
- 10:34Speaker 1: run probably or maybe two to tell those lefties, but
- 10:37Speaker 1: he could easily strike out eight to ten of these
- 10:40Speaker 1: reds and have himself a sealing performance. So at eighty
- 10:42Speaker 1: seven hundred, I'm in on him. Let's go down below
- 10:46Speaker 1: eight k Here we got Soroca who's been pitching out
- 10:48Speaker 1: of his mind this year, Eric Lower who's had some
- 10:51Speaker 1: peak starts, Davis Martin. The one guy down here that
- 10:54Speaker 1: I have some interest in is Aaron Savali. The reason
- 10:57Speaker 1: being is not that Aaron Savali is a great pitch
- 11:00Speaker 1: by any means, but number one White socks are chalked
- 11:02Speaker 1: just due to the nature of the slate. Because people
- 11:05Speaker 1: want to spend up for the Dodgers, they want to
- 11:07Speaker 1: spend up for those pitchers. How do you do that, Well,
- 11:09Speaker 1: you play a team where the average salary is like
- 11:11Speaker 1: zero dollars to stack up in the White Sox. But
- 11:15Speaker 1: you look at this team, I mean, a twenty six
- 11:18Speaker 1: percent k rate on the season against right hand and
- 11:21Speaker 1: pitching you look at Savali to start the year, twenty
- 11:23Speaker 1: eight percent k rate, and it's gonna leverage one of
- 11:26Speaker 1: the more chalkier stacks of the slates. Like I said,
- 11:29Speaker 1: dry runs eighty percent right here eighty percent white Sox stacks.
- 11:34Speaker 1: So Savali would be the guy if I am looking
- 11:36Speaker 1: for salary down here. Outside of that, I don't have
- 11:39Speaker 1: much interest. What do you see down here below?
- 11:40Speaker 3: Ak, Yeah, there's not a whole ton to love. You
- 11:46Speaker 3: said it, Soroka, Soroka, however you want to say it.
- 11:49Speaker 3: He's had two I'll say it this way. He's had
- 11:51Speaker 3: two games with ten plus ks, And so if you
- 11:55Speaker 3: were gonna go down there, I mean seventy nine hundreds
- 11:58Speaker 3: right around the same guys, But I mean, were you
- 12:00Speaker 3: gonna play down here?
- 12:01Speaker 2: Nads, It doesn't look like much.
- 12:02Speaker 3: Waldron making what I believe is his first start, going
- 12:05Speaker 3: up against this team that has said seventeen home runs
- 12:08Speaker 3: in the last two games. It feels like, uh so,
- 12:11Speaker 3: not much to love down here.
- 12:12Speaker 2: And you said it earlier.
- 12:14Speaker 3: It's pitching tonight, so I'm gonna pitch the big boys
- 12:16Speaker 3: and not really getting down here. I don't see how
- 12:19Speaker 3: you make a case for anybody outside of Soroka sub Ak, Yeah.
- 12:23Speaker 1: I do have more interest in Savali. I put Savally
- 12:26Speaker 1: ahead of Soroka. I get I get it. The Blue
- 12:30Speaker 1: Jay has been scuffling there, but the roof's gonna be
- 12:31Speaker 1: in an open in Arizona. Uh it should play hit
- 12:34Speaker 1: a friendly there. Lefties kind of take up Soroca anyways,
- 12:38Speaker 1: So guys like Casey Sanchez, Dalton Barshaw some of them,
- 12:42Speaker 1: and then obviously you got just the contact heavy Blue
- 12:44Speaker 1: Jays team in general. So for me, if I'm if
- 12:47Speaker 1: I'm going down there, I just think Soroka at seventy
- 12:49Speaker 1: nine hundred, I'd rather play Casey Mice for one hundred
- 12:51Speaker 1: dollars more, or two hundred dollars more get up to
- 12:53Speaker 1: a guy like or three hundred dollars more, excuse me,
- 12:55Speaker 1: get up to a guy like Soriano, or six hundred more,
- 12:58Speaker 1: play play Schleetler. Right, that's ownership where it doesn't really
- 13:01Speaker 1: matter on those guys because the top four are soaking up.
- 13:04Speaker 1: So my pitchure pool would look something like this, Gilbert
- 13:06Speaker 1: to grom Glass Now, Ryan Schleetler, Soriano, sworez uh or
- 13:11Speaker 1: Actually I don't even really like Swore as much. So really,
- 13:15Speaker 1: i'd probably limit it down to the these nine guys
- 13:19Speaker 1: or eight guys. Excuse me, I can't count here on
- 13:22Speaker 1: the screen. So this is something like, I'm looking at
- 13:25Speaker 1: here here tonight Gilbert to Grom Glass now Ryan, uh Schlittner,
- 13:29Speaker 1: uh Soriano, Maze and Savai. And I know I slid
- 13:33Speaker 1: Schlittler Schleetler's name sixteen different times in the last four
- 13:37Speaker 1: for four minutes. So however you pronounce his name, I
- 13:40Speaker 1: just like him a lot. Go ahead and rank your
- 13:43Speaker 1: top five here him on the slate in general before
- 13:46Speaker 1: we talk. Kidding.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Yeah, So one would be Gilbert the Graham Schlitzler for me,
- 13:55Speaker 3: uh Glass now four, and I'm gonna say uh war
- 14:00Speaker 3: as far for me, I like him at eighty one.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Awesome. I'll go Gilbert number one for me. I'll go
- 14:06Speaker 1: Joe Ryan to de Gram three, Schleetler four, and then
- 14:11Speaker 1: I'll go Casey Myz five. The other guys are obviously good.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I'm gonna have exposure to all of these eight guys,
- 14:17Speaker 1: but that's kind of my rankings in general. Let's jump
- 14:21Speaker 1: over here. Let me refresh the stone and get our
- 14:25Speaker 1: updated lineups that we have in here again, if you
- 14:29Speaker 1: guys want access to this real quick, I'll just show you.
- 14:32Speaker 1: For everyone tuning in here, we do still have the
- 14:34Speaker 1: Masters Special going on up at the top. Three hundred
- 14:36Speaker 1: and forty nine dollars get you access to all of
- 14:38Speaker 1: our PGA content for the entire PGA season. But really,
- 14:42Speaker 1: if you're here in an MLB show, you're interested in MLB.

- 15:17Speaker 1: month with an optimizer. You can't even go to saber
- 15:19Speaker 1: Shim dot com and get that price. So let's go
- 15:22Speaker 1: back to the stone here, first game on the slates.
- 15:27Speaker 1: After we scroll past these early games here, Royals Yankees.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Yankees were disappointing. I was on the right side of that.
- 15:35Speaker 1: It's pretty much the whole series against the Angels. I
- 15:39Speaker 1: was overweight on the Angels. They came through for me here. Royals, Yankees, Yankees,
- 15:44Speaker 1: I think are are interesting. Here. Waka somehow just continues
- 15:48Speaker 1: to to skate through games and just even though it
- 15:52Speaker 1: doesn't look like he should be a service toabol pitcher,
- 15:55Speaker 1: just somehow continue to just make his way through. So
- 15:58Speaker 1: Yankees are fine. I don't don't love them here, but
- 16:01Speaker 1: this would be the spots where everyone was on them
- 16:04Speaker 1: all all week and against the the Angels, they didn't
- 16:07Speaker 1: do their thing. Tonight would be a perfect spot to
- 16:10Speaker 1: kind of go back to them. Grisham, Bellinger, Rice Judge,
- 16:14Speaker 1: all of these guys are fine, but their salaries make
- 16:18Speaker 1: it pretty tough for me outside of the cheap guys
- 16:20Speaker 1: that you really don't want at the bottom too much. Anyways,
- 16:23Speaker 1: what do you see here? Yankees and Royals to start
- 16:25Speaker 1: us off?
- 16:26Speaker 2: Yeah, no, Royals for me.
- 16:27Speaker 3: I think I think they're They're easy to to uh
- 16:31Speaker 3: mark off. I mean, if you want a little one
- 16:32Speaker 3: off bomb, but don't love the stack them. The Yankees
- 16:35Speaker 3: sounds like I like them a little bit more actually,
- 16:36Speaker 3: like the righties. Some too walk a little reverse splitzees
- 16:40Speaker 3: when it comes to power. Obviously got judged. Don't need
- 16:43Speaker 3: me to tell you to play him. But you know
- 16:44Speaker 3: Stanton who hit a bomb yesterday, Rosario bat in six,
- 16:48Speaker 3: not really a power guy per se, but Jose Cavallero
- 16:52Speaker 3: obviously get him on the base pass and he's trouble.
- 16:54Speaker 3: So so yeah, I like, I like the five man's
- 16:57Speaker 3: four mans. However you want to slice it. I'm in
- 16:59Speaker 3: on these Yankees like a little bit higher than you,
- 17:01Speaker 3: and then I wouldn't I wouldn't play these Royals, not
- 17:03Speaker 3: against Sush Schlitzler.
- 17:04Speaker 2: He's one of my favorite pitchers on the board.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think the Yankees are fine. I
- 17:08Speaker 1: just I like cheaper offenses more and I'm prioritizing pitching overall.
- 17:12Speaker 1: So the guys that I want to play, Judge Bellinger,
- 17:14Speaker 1: Stanton Rice, those I mean fifty six hundred, sixty six
- 17:17Speaker 1: hundred forty six forty two. Right, it gets pretty expensive
- 17:21Speaker 1: pretty quickly. So I will say they're gonna be lower
- 17:24Speaker 1: owned than they have been all week, potentially all season.
- 17:28Speaker 1: At these ownerships, nobody's gonna really play the Yankee so
- 17:30Speaker 1: I will definitely be overweight on Yankees and m ME,
- 17:33Speaker 1: but main team wise seen lunch at three max stuff.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Not sure if I get there just yet. I do
- 17:38Speaker 1: like some other these other cheaper teams better but good
- 17:41Speaker 1: place to hit Waka not fine, It's just I'd rather
- 17:45Speaker 1: power hunt against Waka than full stack personally myself, so
- 17:48Speaker 1: guys like Rice, Judge Grisham, two man one off things
- 17:52Speaker 1: like that is more my way to attack that game.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Next game, heading out to Miami, Jansen junk on the mound,
- 18:00Speaker 1: Coleman Krag gonna make the debut here for the Brewers,
- 18:05Speaker 1: this is a game I don't really like much from offense.
- 18:07Speaker 1: This ballpark sucks. I know the Marlins bullpen is not great.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Brewers bullpen kind of middle of the road as well.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Not much interest offensively here here for me. Bryce Terraing,
- 18:19Speaker 1: I think an elite spend up always at second base
- 18:21Speaker 1: at fifty five hundred as pivot off of some of
- 18:24Speaker 1: those Dodger guys at similar price points. Jake Bauers, I
- 18:27Speaker 1: think at four k flat is a really good play
- 18:29Speaker 1: hit fifth he's been mashing in then, Garrett Mitchell, those
- 18:32Speaker 1: three I mentioned every time the Brewers are on the slate,
- 18:35Speaker 1: they're always in play, stolen based upside always Jack Jansen
- 18:39Speaker 1: Junk can always be wild and walk. So one fault
- 18:42Speaker 1: anyone for the Brewers here. I just don't like the
- 18:44Speaker 1: ballpark match. Bullpen's are kind of middle of the road.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Brewers have been fairly cold as well. What do you
- 18:48Speaker 1: see here? Yeah, yeah, you said it.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Not much to love in this game. We don't like this. Uh,
- 18:56Speaker 2: we don't like this park. No, Christian Yelich and Nay,
- 19:00Speaker 2: I can't. I can't help it.
- 19:02Speaker 3: But I saw it the other day, maybe twice this season.
- 19:05Speaker 3: But your boy Gary the Goat going yard twice this season.
- 19:09Speaker 3: He's coming back to Holly. It's Gary season, baby, Gary
- 19:13Speaker 3: the Goat, Gary Sanchez going bombs over bag Dad.
- 19:16Speaker 2: So I don't like the offenses in this game.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Yeah, Gary Sanchez hell of a hell of a hitter
- 19:22Speaker 1: so far this year coming back. It was it with
- 19:25Speaker 1: with a crew in twenty twenty four, set out twenty
- 19:28Speaker 1: twenty five, went to a different squad, and now he's back,
- 19:31Speaker 1: and it does help, especially when we're facing left handed pitchers,
- 19:34Speaker 1: which obviously majority of our lineup are. Our better hitters
- 19:37Speaker 1: do hit from the left side, so that does help there.
- 19:40Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm with you there and not much interest
- 19:42Speaker 1: from an offensive perspective. Takes us to Red Sox Tigers
- 19:46Speaker 1: Casey Mais, Rainer Swarz, two of the better arms on
- 19:48Speaker 1: the slate, both ranked well in our pitcher rankings. Don't
- 19:52Speaker 1: love this game from a DFS perspective on either side here,
- 19:55Speaker 1: Red Sox ben really disappointing to start the year. Tigers
- 19:59Speaker 1: not great either. If you wanted to get to some
- 20:02Speaker 1: one offs, guys like Kevin McGonagall, Roman Anthony, Will you
- 20:05Speaker 1: m a bray you who's been one of the better
- 20:06Speaker 1: hitters in baseball, I want fault anyone, but not really
- 20:10Speaker 1: getting to stacks in this game? What do you see here? Yeah?
- 20:14Speaker 3: Full stacks I'm out on in this game. It would
- 20:17Speaker 3: be more home run hunting on this one. And I
- 20:20Speaker 3: don't mind, like you said, Will You're a brad You's fun.
- 20:23Speaker 3: I don't mind some of the rioties either, if you
- 20:26Speaker 3: wanted to stack some of those or not stacked, but
- 20:28Speaker 3: home run hunt but Trevor Story somebody like that, But yeah,
- 20:32Speaker 3: not full stack in this one. Then have tons of
- 20:34Speaker 3: interest in Rangers Suarez. So I'm not playing any of
- 20:37Speaker 3: these these sticks on the Tigers.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Alrighty, yeah, we're in lockstep there. It takes us to
- 20:43Speaker 1: the next game, which I do have a lot of
- 20:45Speaker 1: interest here. Twins probably one of my favorite stacks, if
- 20:50Speaker 1: not my favorite stack of the board. Here Brandon Williamson
- 20:52Speaker 1: is just not good. The Reds bullpen is ass Win
- 20:55Speaker 1: blown out to right field, which helps these these lefties
- 20:59Speaker 1: for sure. But the Twins have been mass baseballs. They've
- 21:03Speaker 1: lit up guys like Garrett Crochet. The list goes on
- 21:06Speaker 1: and on. So far to start the year here they've
- 21:07Speaker 1: been hitting well. This park's been yielding runs. Buston, Martin Keyshaw, Jeffers,
- 21:15Speaker 1: Ryan Kriedler down there, I really like to wrap around
- 21:17Speaker 1: here for the Twins. The nine to one, two, three
- 21:19Speaker 1: four stack looks fantastic from Minnesota. The red side. You
- 21:23Speaker 1: want lefty power against Joe Ryan so Freedo if you
- 21:27Speaker 1: wanted to get there as a one off fine Sales
- 21:29Speaker 1: Stewart continues to mash home runs every single time he's there.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Led Da la Cruz as a spend up to be
- 21:34Speaker 1: contrarian at shortstop with again that lefty power that you want.
- 21:38Speaker 1: But I'm much more on the side of Joe Ryan,
- 21:41Speaker 1: especially with only two lefties projected in the starting lineup
- 21:44Speaker 1: here for the Reds, where obviously that's where Joe Ryan struggles.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Thirty percent higher strikeout rate against right handed hitters. What
- 21:50Speaker 1: do you see here?
- 21:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on that.
- 21:54Speaker 3: Like these Twins, why you like him the best on
- 21:56Speaker 3: the board? Sounds like so I would have a little
- 22:00Speaker 3: bit further down, but they're squarely in play. They've been
- 22:02Speaker 3: mashing baseballs. I did have the luxury of playing Garrett
- 22:05Speaker 3: Crochet the other night, and I'll look back. He was
- 22:08Speaker 3: fourteen runs later, he was no longer in the contest. So, yeah,
- 22:13Speaker 3: Twins been red hot, get Williams in which you love that,
- 22:15Speaker 3: and then yeah, Red's out of the small park.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Don't love them, but you know if you wanted to
- 22:20Speaker 2: play in fomb But.
- 22:20Speaker 1: They're not for me tonight. Yeah, Avery says, who's the
- 22:24Speaker 1: bigger surprise? Pirates are the Twins? Probably the Probably the Twins.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Pirates have a lot of young talent there, and but
- 22:31Speaker 1: again it's too too early really to tell on any
- 22:34Speaker 1: of these teams. I mean, we saw all season last
- 22:38Speaker 1: year the Mets looked like World Series champions and then
- 22:41Speaker 1: got halfway through the season, they fell off a cliff,
- 22:44Speaker 1: just straight free falling down. So it's really tough to say,
- 22:48Speaker 1: but yeah, I'd probably say that the Twins more interesting
- 22:51Speaker 1: than the Pirates so far about both of those squads
- 22:53Speaker 1: have been pretty solid and definitely DFS friendly. Takes us
- 22:57Speaker 1: to the next game here, roof's probably going to be
- 22:59Speaker 1: open here in Houston, at least likely. This is one
- 23:03Speaker 1: of the better game environments, if not the best game
- 23:05Speaker 1: environment on the slate. I really like this game, and
- 23:09Speaker 1: I like the Cardinals quite a bit here. This offense
- 23:11Speaker 1: is not good, I get it, but the Astros bullpen
- 23:13Speaker 1: league worst to start the year x fit a four
- 23:17Speaker 1: point ninety three, tied with the Tampa Bay Rays and
- 23:19Speaker 1: even even worse than the Nationals, and they're pretty taxed
- 23:23Speaker 1: as well, which I do like Cardinals. I mean, two
- 23:28Speaker 1: of their better two of the better arms in the
- 23:32Speaker 1: Astros bullpen have probably gonna be on avail fifty one
- 23:36Speaker 1: and sixty six pitches the last three days. So guys
- 23:41Speaker 1: like JJ Weatherhill, Burlison, Walker, Gorman Herrera, even even some
- 23:46Speaker 1: of those lefties down at the bottom Nathan Church, Victor Scott.
- 23:49Speaker 1: I like the Cardinals a lot here. So I'm in
- 23:52Speaker 1: on Saint Louis here and then the Astros. I won't
- 23:53Speaker 1: fault anyone for either. I don't think the Cardinals bullpen
- 23:56Speaker 1: is good. The Astro has been hitting well, jord On
- 23:59Speaker 1: really good. Spend up on this slate. He's gonna be
- 24:01Speaker 1: unkowned compared to guys like Kyle Tucker, Show, Hey Otani,
- 24:04Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman, Christian Walker, same thing, first base forty eight hundred,
- 24:08Speaker 1: all those Dodgers guys is going to be significantly triple,
- 24:12Speaker 1: quadruple five times, even the ownership of what a guy
- 24:14Speaker 1: like Christian Walker and Jordan argue to be. So I
- 24:17Speaker 1: think the Astros are good. I like both sides here.
- 24:20Speaker 1: I'm in on both these stacks. What do you see here?
- 24:22Speaker 2: Who is Peter Lambert? I feel like he played like
- 24:24Speaker 2: with the Rockies or somebody back in the day.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Yeah he did, and I forgot to mention that, but yeah,
- 24:29Speaker 1: he he couldn't even make his way out there in
- 24:31Speaker 1: that Rockies pitching staff. And last year in Triple A,
- 24:34Speaker 1: I think he had like or in Japan. Excuse me,
- 24:37Speaker 1: he went over to Japan, couldn't even make it over there.
- 24:40Speaker 1: He had like a twenty percent k rate in like
- 24:42Speaker 1: a twelve percent walk rate or ten percent walk rate.
- 24:46Speaker 1: If you can't make it on the Rockies pitching staff,
- 24:49Speaker 1: and now you're starting for the Astros with all the
- 24:51Speaker 1: injuries that they've had. That just shows you. I mean,
- 24:54Speaker 1: I love the Cardinals here. If the Cardinals burned me,
- 24:56Speaker 1: they burned me. But the nice thing is is Dodgers
- 24:59Speaker 1: are in couls Field. Cardinals are gonna be unknowned and
- 25:01Speaker 1: they get a bad bullpen full nine and a hat
- 25:03Speaker 1: bats with hopefully the roof open there either way. So yeah,
- 25:07Speaker 1: Peter Lambert, come make out on the Rockies. And now
- 25:10Speaker 1: the Rockies are starting Sigano instead of instead of him,
- 25:15Speaker 1: so that just tells you how shitty he is. But natural,
- 25:18Speaker 1: he'll probably come out for a complete, complete game shoutout
- 25:20Speaker 1: with like six strekeouts because because I'm going in on
- 25:23Speaker 1: the Cardinals here, But what do you see offense wise?
- 25:25Speaker 1: Houston and Saint Louis are up.
- 25:28Speaker 2: R kb O days and needs those are the good
- 25:30Speaker 2: old days.
- 25:31Speaker 3: Wake up at three, it's love and but yeah this,
- 25:35Speaker 3: uh man, this game is tough once again, like it's
- 25:37Speaker 3: home run hunting for me. Obviously, your dong been pretty
- 25:41Speaker 3: hot Jordan Walker. Goodness gracious, what.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Is that guy doing?
- 25:45Speaker 3: Just absolutely scolding baseball. So for me, I'm not gonna
- 25:48Speaker 3: stack either one of these teams. Even with the kroumy
- 25:50Speaker 3: pitchers that you got, it's gonna be more home run hunting.
- 25:53Speaker 3: And there's just no no, you know, four or five
- 25:56Speaker 3: guys on either one of these teams that that I'm
- 25:59Speaker 3: gonna play while I'm out on the full stacks.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I just the issue is on the slate is
- 26:05Speaker 1: like stacking looks pretty gross in general, but that's the
- 26:08Speaker 1: time that I like stacking, when people are looking at
- 26:10Speaker 1: not stacking and getting three from here and two from
- 26:13Speaker 1: here and a one off there and a one off there.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Not to say that's gonna be that's gonna happen tonight,
- 26:17Speaker 1: but from an offensive perspective, right, it's kind of the theme.
- 26:22Speaker 1: So that's where I take bullpens into account more often.
- 26:24Speaker 1: And when I see the Houston, I mean the Houston
- 26:26Speaker 1: bullpen's been absolutely atrocious, worse than baseball to start the
- 26:30Speaker 1: year in Saint Louis is sixth. So if that's the case,
- 26:32Speaker 1: and I don't like either of these starting pitchers, I'm
- 26:35Speaker 1: gonna have these two high up my board in terms
- 26:37Speaker 1: of full stacks. And that's just the nature of the
- 26:39Speaker 1: slate because when we get to the next game here Dodgers,
- 26:42Speaker 1: and obviously when we talk about that game out in
- 26:44Speaker 1: Sacramento there, that's where the ownership's going. So it's pretty
- 26:50Speaker 1: clear to say where everyone's going on the slate, and
- 26:53Speaker 1: that takes us into course field temperatures wise, it's abysmal here.
- 26:58Speaker 1: I can't can't say the Dodgers are going to show
- 27:04Speaker 1: up here and say, yeah, let's uh, let's tighten up
- 27:07Speaker 1: our tighten up our cleats here and get ready to
- 27:10Speaker 1: play in thirty five degree weather with fifteen milion hour
- 27:13Speaker 1: winds blown in as well in course field here and
- 27:17Speaker 1: oh guess what the average salary of our roster to
- 27:19Speaker 1: stack up is fifty two dollars with a five man
- 27:23Speaker 1: stack averaging twenty five point eight k, which is over
- 27:26Speaker 1: fifty percent of your roster. And we want to spend
- 27:28Speaker 1: up at pitching on the slate. Get it, I get it.
- 27:31Speaker 1: The Dodgers in course field against probably the worst pitcher,
- 27:33Speaker 1: if not one of them, in the major leagues. Nobody
- 27:37Speaker 1: else cares about the owners or the weather. Clearly with
- 27:41Speaker 1: the ownership here I mean Shoheel tony seven, k, Kyle
- 27:44Speaker 1: Tucker sixty four hundred, I get it. It's the Dodgers.
- 27:47Speaker 1: They're really good. They can probably mash anyone, but that
- 27:49Speaker 1: Dodgers could score ten runs here tonight and not be
- 27:51Speaker 1: optimal with these salaries because of that, because of the
- 27:54Speaker 1: way pitching sets up and the way the salary is
- 27:58Speaker 1: for the spend up arms the slate and not having
- 28:00Speaker 1: great cheap pitching options. That's why I'm I'm gonna be
- 28:04Speaker 1: under on the Dodgers. I'm just gonna that that's It's
- 28:07Speaker 1: not because I don't think they're gonna score runs. I
- 28:09Speaker 1: do think they're gonna score runs. They probably have a
- 28:11Speaker 1: home runner two, but they're gonna need a lot on
- 28:14Speaker 1: this slate, and they're gonna need every other team to
- 28:16Speaker 1: to not do anything and to spend up pitching arms
- 28:18Speaker 1: to kind of just be middling. So you have a
- 28:21Speaker 1: lot of things that need to go your way with
- 28:23Speaker 1: the Dodgers, plus everybody else pushing the chips in them.
- 28:26Speaker 1: So from a game theory perspective roster construction perspective, yes,
- 28:30Speaker 1: Dodgers on paper are best stack on the board. I
- 28:34Speaker 1: I just it's it's tough for me when when you
- 28:36Speaker 1: take into the count their salaries. DraftKings finally did the
- 28:39Speaker 1: right thing and priced all these donkeys up going into
- 28:42Speaker 1: course field outside of the Freeland and Kim, who are
- 28:45Speaker 1: probably two of the higher on bats on the entire
- 28:47Speaker 1: slate at thirty six hundred thirty three hundred at the
- 28:49Speaker 1: back half if they make it there. But what do
- 28:51Speaker 1: you see your Rockies Dodgers better.
- 28:53Speaker 3: Back of blanket nags. It's gonna be cold out there,
- 28:55Speaker 3: like you said, thirty someidd degrees.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Uh so, yeah, so interesting.
- 28:59Speaker 3: So six six lefties in the Rockies lineup, which I
- 29:04Speaker 3: don't love up against glass. Now I liked what you
- 29:07Speaker 3: said though, Like, man, they're so pricey, so expensive, seven
- 29:10Speaker 3: thousand dollars. You would think Show he's getting the ball
- 29:13Speaker 3: tonight and gonna be pitching, but.
- 29:15Speaker 2: No he's not. He's doing any batting at seven K,
- 29:18Speaker 2: which is ridiculous.
- 29:19Speaker 3: So it's I liked what you also said about even
- 29:22Speaker 3: if they score ten, they may not be optimal because
- 29:24Speaker 3: if you stack the top even the top three, you're
- 29:27Speaker 3: already at eighteen K.
- 29:29Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough to get some good pitching in there.
- 29:31Speaker 3: So to me my personal if you're gonna do the Dodgers,
- 29:35Speaker 3: you better get some high Don Kim, some Alex Friedlan
- 29:38Speaker 3: in there, some guys in the lower half to go
- 29:40Speaker 3: with those.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Big boys, and you better hope they hit.
- 29:43Speaker 3: But man, even against uh, your boy Tomo Seguno, it's
- 29:48Speaker 3: gonna be tough sledding out there in thirty five degree
- 29:50Speaker 3: whether the ball is just gonna die.
- 29:51Speaker 2: It's like you're playing in freaking Wrigly with the wind
- 29:53Speaker 2: blowing in at that at that weather.
- 29:55Speaker 3: But I liked what you said, a lot of what
- 29:57Speaker 3: you said, and it's a it's a it's easy to
- 29:59Speaker 3: fade the Dodger at this ownership.
- 30:01Speaker 1: And with this weather. Yeah, I just it's just a
- 30:05Speaker 1: salary thing. Right, we play salary based game. We got
- 30:07Speaker 1: fifty k to build lineups on DraftKings. We already know
- 30:10Speaker 1: we want two pitchers, really over eighty five hundred. So
- 30:13Speaker 1: now you're talking between sixteen and eighteen eighteen K, right
- 30:18Speaker 1: at least for your two pitching arms. Now you're adding
- 30:22Speaker 1: five Dodgers. Now you're looking at over forty some thousand.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Now you got eight nine thousand dollars left in salary
- 30:28Speaker 1: to fill out three spots or you know what I mean.
- 30:31Speaker 1: That's why everyone's running to the White Sox right. So
- 30:34Speaker 1: I think if you're playing the Dodgers, mini stacks are
- 30:37Speaker 1: the way or find a way to avoid the cheap
- 30:41Speaker 1: guys in this in your stacks and somehow get away
- 30:44Speaker 1: with maybe doing like a four to three one or
- 30:47Speaker 1: something like that. If you want to play the Dodgers,
- 30:49Speaker 1: I just rather bet on one of these other nineteen
- 30:52Speaker 1: teams to be more optimal in terms of points per dollar,
- 30:55Speaker 1: in terms of the upside in that. So that's the
- 30:58Speaker 1: way I'm approaching it. On the rocky side, Kimoniac, I think,
- 31:00Speaker 1: is a good pitcher or a good good hitter thirty
- 31:02Speaker 1: eight hundred leverages Glass Now, I don't hate that. Some
- 31:05Speaker 1: of these lefties up at the top, I think are fine,
- 31:07Speaker 1: not full stacking because again, don't like the weather, don't
- 31:10Speaker 1: like the temperatures here in cors Field. It's just cors Field,
- 31:13Speaker 1: so it plays above average. But some of those lefties
- 31:16Speaker 1: I think to get into some of that Glass down ownership.
- 31:19Speaker 1: But definitely side on the side of Tyler Glass now
- 31:22Speaker 1: over anyone else really in that game in general. Next
- 31:25Speaker 1: game in slate, Padres Angels in Anaheim. Jose Soriano, who's
- 31:29Speaker 1: been eight so far to start the year thirty eight
- 31:32Speaker 1: and a half percent. Kate at home like a thirty
- 31:35Speaker 1: three percent in general to both sides of plate. When
- 31:38Speaker 1: when you look at the last thirty days, which is
- 31:40Speaker 1: obviously the last month which takes us to the start
- 31:43Speaker 1: of the season, we know he's a ground ball guy
- 31:45Speaker 1: in general, sixty something percent ground ball rate. Padres contact
- 31:49Speaker 1: heavy team, but they have more strikeouts in this lineup
- 31:52Speaker 1: than years past. Machado's striking out a lot. Loriano Tatisa
- 31:56Speaker 1: have struck out quite a bit on the road. Furman.
- 32:00Speaker 1: If he's in there over over Campusano, he strikes out
- 32:03Speaker 1: a lot. So there is strike us to be had here.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I do think Soriano's pretty interesting. Rink's really good in
- 32:08Speaker 1: our pitcher ranking, so that takes me off of the Padres.
- 32:11Speaker 1: But I'm in on the Angels here. I'm running the
- 32:14Speaker 1: out way if they I think they're second behind the
- 32:16Speaker 1: Dodgers in terms of home runs. They just have been
- 32:19Speaker 1: mashing baseball. As Matt Waldron hasn't pitched in quite some time,
- 32:22Speaker 1: but even when he did pitch, he was absolutely atrocious.
- 32:25Speaker 1: The only issue I do have with stacking the Angels
- 32:28Speaker 1: here is how good that Padres bullpen is, and if
- 32:30Speaker 1: Waldron struggles early, they're more than happy to just rely
- 32:34Speaker 1: on that bullpen who which is basically stone nails sitting
- 32:38Speaker 1: at a three point two four x fit on the slate.
- 32:40Speaker 1: They're just they're really good, right, The bullpen is really good.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Mason Miller obviously a freak. But again I think guys
- 32:47Speaker 1: like Netto Trout, Joe Adell, Prazza, all these guys are
- 32:51Speaker 1: are interesting for power hunting against the Padres. Probably don't
- 32:55Speaker 1: full stack the Angels just with that bullpen added in,
- 32:57Speaker 1: but I do like the Angels power here. A is
- 33:00Speaker 1: sacks two three man sacks here, even against the Padres
- 33:03Speaker 1: and their bullpen.
- 33:08Speaker 3: Yeah, man, Jose Soriano, if they gave a cy young
- 33:11Speaker 3: after one month, it would be him, for sure.
- 33:14Speaker 2: I'm not a believer, Nads.
- 33:16Speaker 3: I think we've stacked against this guy for years, or
- 33:18Speaker 3: maybe he changed something. I don't know, but I can't
- 33:22Speaker 3: do it, not in this park, but I could certainly
- 33:25Speaker 3: you know that that that that could certainly come back
- 33:27Speaker 3: to haunt me.
- 33:28Speaker 2: But I'm out on.
- 33:28Speaker 3: Soriano, and I don't love these Padres either they're tough
- 33:31Speaker 3: to stack. And then the Angels, like you said, man,
- 33:36Speaker 3: they've been they've been smacking the ball around really good. Uh,
- 33:39Speaker 3: Mike Trout a bunch of bunch of homers. He's expensive though, Nido,
- 33:43Speaker 3: Uh at the top, he's fine. Joe Adell I think
- 33:47Speaker 3: is a good price. He's a really good price on
- 33:50Speaker 3: on on FanDuel Jo adell is And I believe Nate's
- 33:53Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong. I believe that Solaire is
- 33:56Speaker 3: out tonight due to the suspension.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Yeah, he thought he was playing UFC instead of MLB Baseball,
- 34:03Speaker 1: so he was throwing haymakers. I think he threw like
- 34:06Speaker 1: three overhand haymakers. Shocked that he only got like a
- 34:09Speaker 1: four game suspension or whatever it is. But yeah, so
- 34:12Speaker 1: he will be out. But you still got guys like
- 34:15Speaker 1: Mike Child who hits home run every night. It seems
- 34:17Speaker 1: zach netto. Whenever I play him, he gets zero. When
- 34:19Speaker 1: I fade him, he steals three bases and hits four
- 34:22Speaker 1: home runs. So but yeah, there's still guys that can
- 34:26Speaker 1: be played here. And I don't really want the full
- 34:28Speaker 1: stack anyways, But my guy, Oswald Parraza, that dude will swipe,
- 34:31Speaker 1: he'll hit home runs. Was a hero for us yesterday.
- 34:35Speaker 1: So I don't mind going back to some of these angels.
- 34:38Speaker 1: For sir, I mean Matt Waldron. Obviously we don't have
- 34:42Speaker 1: much of a sample size. We have twenty five plate
- 34:44Speaker 1: appearances because he hasn't pitched in quite some time, obviously
- 34:48Speaker 1: didn't pitch last year. The dude has a twenty four
- 34:51Speaker 1: percent walk rate. So when you start walking, guys, now
- 34:54Speaker 1: you have to come back over the heart of the
- 34:56Speaker 1: plate and you could see the Padres potentially just leave
- 34:58Speaker 1: him out there to dry right as well, which does
- 35:01Speaker 1: help the case when because you look at the Padres
- 35:04Speaker 1: bullpen and they threw four bullpen arms yesterday to the
- 35:06Speaker 1: day before that, one of them throwing forty two pitches,
- 35:09Speaker 1: so they could first game of the series here, give
- 35:12Speaker 1: their guys some rest and just let Waldron go out
- 35:15Speaker 1: there and hang him out to dry. He did throw
- 35:17Speaker 1: one hundred and four pitches in that first first game
- 35:21Speaker 1: that that we saw. So yeah, Angels fairly interesting, but
- 35:26Speaker 1: sounds like you're pretty under on this game in terms
- 35:28Speaker 1: of hitting, and I would say it is one of
- 35:31Speaker 1: the better hitting environments on the slate in Anaheim. Compared
- 35:34Speaker 1: to some of these other places. But what's your final
- 35:37Speaker 1: take here, Angels Padres.
- 35:39Speaker 2: Yeah, more not don't love the full stack. I'm gonna
- 35:43Speaker 2: save that for the next game. But I mean they're fine,
- 35:45Speaker 2: but don't don't love them.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, It takes us to the next game here.
- 35:51Speaker 1: I know I talked about I like the Cardinals a lot.
- 35:54Speaker 1: I like the Twins a lot. Takes you to this
- 35:56Speaker 1: next game. I like this team this game a lot.
- 35:58Speaker 1: And yeah, the White Sacks are gonna ship at least
- 36:00Speaker 1: optimizers wise to project an ownership we have here seems
- 36:04Speaker 1: pretty light. But I will say all of this ownership
- 36:07Speaker 1: is tied to Dodgers Dodger stacks. So if you play
- 36:10Speaker 1: the White Sox, don't play the don't play the Dodgers,
- 36:13Speaker 1: and you're instantly different there. I lean more on the
- 36:15Speaker 1: side of Aaron Savali personally than the White Sox, but
- 36:18Speaker 1: guys like Murakami, Colson Montgomery, I think our elite options
- 36:22Speaker 1: that lefty power. Andrew BENNETTENI, for all you BVP truthers
- 36:26Speaker 1: out there, he's hit Savali for I think two or
- 36:28Speaker 1: three home runs if you want to hit your wagon
- 36:31Speaker 1: on him. But I really like the A side of
- 36:34Speaker 1: this game a lot White Sox bullpen not not good
- 36:37Speaker 1: by any means. The A's bullpen's not not great either,
- 36:40Speaker 1: but it's been better than the White Sox bullpen two
- 36:43Speaker 1: uh to start the year here, White Sox four point
- 36:46Speaker 1: four to nine x FIP, which is like tenth worst
- 36:49Speaker 1: in baseball. A's lefty power. You want Kurt Sodershrum, Carlos Cortez, Butler.
- 36:56Speaker 1: I like all those guys. And then you got bang
- 36:57Speaker 1: Leers up at the top fifty eight hundred, Jeff McNeil,
- 37:00Speaker 1: contact guy thirty five hundred at second base, which is
- 37:03Speaker 1: a weak position. So I like the J's quite a
- 37:05Speaker 1: bit here. What do you see here in this game?
- 37:08Speaker 3: Yeah, the A's in the real course field. Where are
- 37:11Speaker 3: the A's coming in Nates? Because they're my they're my favorite.
- 37:14Speaker 1: They're gonna be I mean, the White Sox are gonna
- 37:17Speaker 1: be higher ond if that says anything at least projected wise,
- 37:21Speaker 1: nobody's really getting to I mean, I don't want to
- 37:23Speaker 1: say nobody, but in terms of stacks, the A's are
- 37:26Speaker 1: down the list in terms of projected ownership, And yeah,
- 37:29Speaker 1: if that's the case, sign me up. I like them.
- 37:31Speaker 3: A ton Yeah, goodness, gracious, the loal dog, Lawrence Butler,
- 37:34Speaker 3: Bangaliers Kurtz.
- 37:36Speaker 2: I wish my guy Ruker was going to be in there.
- 37:38Speaker 2: I know he's out. Uh yeah, give me these a's.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Love the a's tonight. They're they're in.
- 37:45Speaker 3: They're in the real course field in that cracker Jack ballpark.
- 37:49Speaker 3: And then on the White Sox side, your boy Colson
- 37:52Speaker 3: Montgomery really like him as a one off only though
- 37:55Speaker 3: at forty one forty one hundred. Colson Montgomery, if he's
- 38:00Speaker 3: baton clean up or wherever he's batten, I like him
- 38:02Speaker 3: as well.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Yeah, you you want fly ball guys against Savali. He
- 38:08Speaker 1: he does keep the ball in the ground in general,
- 38:11Speaker 1: at least to the left side, which is where you
- 38:13Speaker 1: want to attack him. So guys like Inrew Benattendi again
- 38:18Speaker 1: thirty six and a half percent flyball right on the
- 38:20Speaker 1: season with with some power and the b VP if
- 38:24Speaker 1: you believe in that. But Murrakami would be my favorite
- 38:27Speaker 1: bat out of them. Yeah, you're gonna get k's. Montgomery's
- 38:31Speaker 1: fine too, so yeah, it would be just more mini
- 38:34Speaker 1: stacks for me in the White Sox side. Montgomery, Benettenni Murcammi,
- 38:37Speaker 1: I think is a really really good three man mini
- 38:39Speaker 1: stack there overall. So that's uh, that would take.
- 38:44Speaker 3: Us to.
- 38:46Speaker 1: The Rangers Mariners here, two of our favorite pitchers, worst
- 38:49Speaker 1: one of the worst hitting parks in baseball as well.
- 38:52Speaker 1: What do you see here? Any any offense for you? Yeah?
- 38:57Speaker 2: Not not in this park. It looks like the Yeah,
- 39:00Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go back to pitching real quick.
- 39:02Speaker 3: But if it looks like the Mariners have projected seven
- 39:07Speaker 3: lefties in the lineup, and de gram pretty good against
- 39:11Speaker 3: lefties over a thirty percent strikeout rate, Man, I love
- 39:15Speaker 3: de Groam. If they, if they truly do roll out
- 39:17Speaker 3: seven lefties. On the flip side, Logan Gilbert strikes the
- 39:22Speaker 3: Mountain drugs as well. If I'm on DraftKings, I'm stacking
- 39:25Speaker 3: both of these pictures up for sure, Neids. It's gonna
- 39:29Speaker 3: be a blood bath when it comes to case andight
- 39:31Speaker 3: and whatever it's called now.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Safeco Field is what I know it as.
- 39:36Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I'm with you. There not much hitting for me.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Take me a lot of lineups. If maybe I'd have
- 39:42Speaker 1: to have three hundred plus lineups to probably get to
- 39:43Speaker 1: either of these stacks. As baseball, anything can happen, just
- 39:46Speaker 1: not something I'm hitching my legging on. There's enough on
- 39:48Speaker 1: teams across the board, with the Dodgers being in Coors Field,
- 39:51Speaker 1: to really not even worry about leveraging either of these
- 39:54Speaker 1: starting pitchers. I'd rather leverage Tyler Glass now if anyone compared,
- 39:59Speaker 1: or even Joe Ryan compared to these two guys personally.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Last game of the slate, d Backs in the Blue Jays.
- 40:05Speaker 1: This game, I do have a lot of interest in
- 40:07Speaker 1: from offense on both sides of it. I'll start with
- 40:10Speaker 1: the Blue Jay side. Soroco has been really good. I'm
- 40:12Speaker 1: not buying it. I think it's kind of smoking mers here.
- 40:14Speaker 1: Lefty power, I think is interesting. And the nice thing
- 40:17Speaker 1: too is there's zero left handed relievers in that Arizona bullpen,
- 40:20Speaker 1: so that helps guys like Nathan Luke's not get pinch
- 40:23Speaker 1: hit for don't varshow Hayesu Sanchez. Those would be the
- 40:26Speaker 1: three starting points I'd make for my lineup. But guys
- 40:30Speaker 1: like Andre Simenez three K shortstop, nobody's gonna click that name.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Blue Jays are gonna get ownership. They destroyed me yesterday.
- 40:39Speaker 1: I'm fine going back to the well and then don't
- 40:41Speaker 1: sleep on these Uh, these d Backs. Eric Lauer is
- 40:43Speaker 1: gonna come in in long relief after the opener there,
- 40:47Speaker 1: so don't get thrown off. Lauer is not gonna start.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Probably they're gonna go with an opener obviously to get
- 40:53Speaker 1: get past the top half of this top portion of
- 40:55Speaker 1: this lineup. Marte, Carol Perdomo, but Noan Arnatto the corpse
- 41:00Speaker 1: of him thirty two hundred dirt cheap at a week
- 41:03Speaker 1: base I mean week third base position. The dude hit
- 41:05Speaker 1: two home runs the last time he faced the lefty Vargas.
- 41:09Speaker 1: I think is really interesting too. I definitely like the
- 41:13Speaker 1: d Backs here. I think they're pretty sneak yet like
- 41:14Speaker 1: both sides of this game, lean Blue Jays side, but
- 41:17Speaker 1: don't don't hate the d Backs either. Marte, Carrol, Perdomo, Arnatto, Vargas,
- 41:22Speaker 1: those five really like Jose Fernandez really nice guy at
- 41:27Speaker 1: thirty four hundred two. So yeah, this is one of
- 41:29Speaker 1: the games. I mean on offense, there was a lot
- 41:31Speaker 1: of spots we weren't on a This is one that
- 41:34Speaker 1: I am in on. What do you see here?
- 41:36Speaker 2: Can Nolan or Andandho hit the ball out of the
- 41:38Speaker 2: infield anymore?
- 41:41Speaker 1: He hit two home runs? What last last week or
- 41:45Speaker 1: a couple of games he hit two home runs, scored
- 41:48Speaker 1: like thirty eight DraftKings points and then couldn't hit his
- 41:51Speaker 1: way out of wet paperbag after that. But hey, all
- 41:53Speaker 1: the BVP guys right, because BVP is real. Whatever happened
- 41:57Speaker 1: last time has to happen this time. He's got three
- 41:59Speaker 1: home runs off our guy Lawer. So if you want
- 42:01Speaker 1: to hit your wagon on that, go go ahead and
- 42:03Speaker 1: do it. But I mean, thirty two hundred at third
- 42:06Speaker 1: base when Max Montsy's gonna soak up all the ownership
- 42:08Speaker 1: at that position, it's it's not the worst play in
- 42:11Speaker 1: the world, and it's not breaking the bank when we
- 42:14Speaker 1: want to spend up at pitching. So from that perspective,
- 42:17Speaker 1: I don't hate it. But what do you see here?
- 42:18Speaker 3: Speaking of Nolan Aeronado, I failed to mention my boy
- 42:22Speaker 3: from the last game, Neids, And do you know who
- 42:24Speaker 3: that is?
- 42:25Speaker 1: Yeah, Jock Jams, John Jams, Baby John Jams.
- 42:29Speaker 2: He's not batting it. I would guarantee he's not batting
- 42:32Speaker 2: his weight this year on the season.
- 42:34Speaker 3: And hey, this Friday night and every single Friday night
- 42:38Speaker 3: that I want to show if Jock Patterson hits a
- 42:40Speaker 3: home run. We're giving away a one hundred and twenty
- 42:43Speaker 3: one dollars ticket in the chat. So, hey, if Jock
- 42:46Speaker 3: hits a home run on Friday Night and you're listening
- 42:48Speaker 3: to this show the next week, you're gonna get paid
- 42:50Speaker 3: because Jack Jams is horrendous.
- 42:53Speaker 2: Hey, Nolan Aeronanda is.
- 42:54Speaker 3: Close to getting their names. He's terrible too, even though
- 42:56Speaker 3: he hit two bombs. But Jock Jams for sure is trash.
- 43:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:01Speaker 3: I don't like either one of these offenses. I think
- 43:03Speaker 3: you said you did. I'm out on both of these offenses.
- 43:07Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't like either one of them.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Oh you like one offense on the whole slate? All right,
- 43:13Speaker 1: perfect Ham's running one hundred percent athletics, stacks nobody else
- 43:17Speaker 1: in his playerpool, and he's playing your DK rep.
- 43:21Speaker 2: You get all eight of them in there.
- 43:23Speaker 1: Yeah, he's playing de Graham and Gilbert in nine athletics.
- 43:26Speaker 1: So all right, we know where Ham's going on the slate.
- 43:29Speaker 1: But I got Travis here in the chat says the
- 43:33Speaker 1: roof is always shut in Houston. I figured that was
- 43:35Speaker 1: the case, but I didn't know, so I appreciate you
- 43:38Speaker 1: calling that out either way. Roof closed, roof shot doesn't matter.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Bullpen's ass, Cardinals, bullpen's ass. Both the starting pitchers are ass.
- 43:45Speaker 1: Sign me up. I love that game. So am end
- 43:48Speaker 1: of the show. Here your favorite pitching combination. I know
- 43:51Speaker 1: you're gonna go to Grom and Gilbert, but if you
- 43:54Speaker 1: didn't go those two, throw a lower owned guy in there.
- 43:57Speaker 1: Your favorite overall offense, A sneaky stack, and then a
- 43:59Speaker 1: home A call for the people.
- 44:01Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna give you the two offenses that
- 44:03Speaker 3: are gonna win on this slate, so y'all can thank
- 44:05Speaker 3: me later. It's the Athletics and it's the New York Yankees,
- 44:08Speaker 3: so those are gonna win the slate. Then you pair
- 44:11Speaker 3: up Gilbert into Grom. You said, give me somebody else.
- 44:15Speaker 3: If you want to go Cam Schlitzler or whatever his
- 44:17Speaker 3: name is, you play him Ranger Suarez. And if I
- 44:20Speaker 3: had to go sneaky stack, naides mm, sneaky stack is tough,
- 44:26Speaker 3: I'm gonna go.
- 44:29Speaker 2: Well, you said the h sneaky, sneaky.
- 44:33Speaker 1: I mean pretty much everyone's sneaky on this on the slate,
- 44:35Speaker 1: outside of maybe the Blue Jays and the Dodgers obviously,
- 44:40Speaker 1: and potentially the White Sox just because of their salary
- 44:42Speaker 1: relief in that ballpark and maybe the A. So really,
- 44:46Speaker 1: outside of those kind of couple teams, nobody's really gonna
- 44:49Speaker 1: get ownership to worry about on the slates because pitching
- 44:51Speaker 1: is so condensed.
- 44:53Speaker 3: Yeah, I uh, I have no basis, but it would
- 44:59Speaker 3: be the miam Marlins because some guy named Cameron Crowe
- 45:03Speaker 3: is pitching for the Brewers.
- 45:05Speaker 2: He may be the number one prospect in all of
- 45:07Speaker 2: the world. I've never heard of him, So give me
- 45:09Speaker 2: the Marlins as a sneaky stack.
- 45:11Speaker 1: The Marlins didn't see that coming out of fucking left field,
- 45:14Speaker 1: all the Marlins.
- 45:15Speaker 2: But I was forced, based on this show to give
- 45:19Speaker 2: you on the slate.
- 45:21Speaker 1: And this guy says, Miami Marlins and one of the
- 45:23Speaker 1: worst parks.
- 45:24Speaker 3: Play the Athletics, play the Yankees, and then print money,
- 45:26Speaker 3: go to sleep and print money. I got some home
- 45:29Speaker 3: run calls, Let me give you, give yours, and let's
- 45:30Speaker 3: get the people some home run calls.
- 45:32Speaker 1: We got to make some money tonight, all right. Yeah,
- 45:35Speaker 1: My my favorite pitcher on the slate is gonna be
- 45:37Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert. I like him a ton also with you
- 45:40Speaker 1: undergrom my kind of sleeper or sneakier one. Is number
- 45:45Speaker 1: one ear In Savali. I don't mind him, but I
- 45:47Speaker 1: really like Cam Schleetler a ton too in that mid
- 45:51Speaker 1: tier at mid a k Rain. So I'm with you there.
- 45:54Speaker 1: In terms of offenses, I already said it. I love
- 45:56Speaker 1: the Twins tonight I'm riding the wagon and then Cardinals. Twins, Cardinals,
- 46:01Speaker 1: those are two of my favorite stacks on the board overall.
- 46:05Speaker 1: I'm with you there on the A's too. I don't
- 46:06Speaker 1: mind the A's as well. They'd probably be three my
- 46:10Speaker 1: home run calls. I'm going to the Cardinals. I'm going
- 46:14Speaker 1: to my guy, Alec Berlison forty five hundred hitting third,
- 46:18Speaker 1: and then I'll go to my favorite stack on the board.
- 46:21Speaker 1: I'll go down the salary range a little bit guy
- 46:24Speaker 1: in the two hole. Shout out here, I guy ge
- 46:26Speaker 1: Rosen loves himself the two hole. You can take that,
- 46:29Speaker 1: take your mind wherever you want with that. But I'm
- 46:31Speaker 1: going to Austin Martin. I love Austin Martin. A ton
- 46:34Speaker 1: thirty four hundred hitting second, probably got pretty good home
- 46:36Speaker 1: run odds in general, but I like Austin Martin a
- 46:39Speaker 1: ton ready power masher against Brandon Williamson, who couldn't strike
- 46:44Speaker 1: out Hamd, which I don't think if ham was up
- 46:46Speaker 1: there to bat with his with his dentures, his his
- 46:50Speaker 1: little little slippers. Yeah, I don't think he's striking out him,
- 46:54Speaker 1: but him. Go ahead and give your home run calls
- 46:57Speaker 1: and we'll get our get out of here.
- 46:59Speaker 2: Nobody put a out boyd mouth song in the chat.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Was kind of disappointed. They had forty five minutes to
- 47:03Speaker 2: do so and not a single cowboy mouth.
- 47:05Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you so the uh man, these home
- 47:09Speaker 3: run calls seem pretty pretty straight up to me.
- 47:13Speaker 2: Go ahead and write this down, take a picture of it,
- 47:15Speaker 2: cash in your chips.
- 47:17Speaker 3: Once he gets a bomb. Nick Kurtz is going yard,
- 47:21Speaker 3: that's for certain. I'm gonna stay in that same game.
- 47:24Speaker 3: I'm gonna go bang Leers as you like to call him.
- 47:27Speaker 3: Shae lang Lears is going yard as well. Man, I'll
- 47:31Speaker 3: just stop at those two lang Lears and Kerks, but
- 47:33Speaker 3: Kurks for sure.
- 47:36Speaker 2: And I'll leave it at that.
- 47:37Speaker 3: So we gotta we gotta do a four game, four
- 47:38Speaker 3: gamer nads parlay and see if we can make any money.
- 47:42Speaker 1: So Austin Martin, Nick Kurtz, Alec burleson Shay lang Lears
- 47:48Speaker 1: are the four home runk calls. We're gonna get out here.
