- 0:01Speaker 1: The system's going clear. We lived up.
- 0:33Speaker 2: What is up everybody? Man? We got an early one
- 0:36Speaker 2: here today on Thursday. Looking forward to it. I got
- 0:40Speaker 2: my man fantasy tips Matt here with me today, so
- 0:44Speaker 2: we're gonna have some fun. So let's, uh, let's dive
- 0:47Speaker 2: into it here. But Matt, how's it going? I haven't
- 0:50Speaker 2: uh didn't get to do a show with you last week.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Now you switched days on me over there. Now you're
- 0:55Speaker 2: on Fridays, so I don't get to do Friday. So hey,
- 0:58Speaker 2: I'm gonna enjoy this. And maybe it's a rare occasion
- 1:01Speaker 2: we get together here this season, but hey, we're gonna
- 1:04Speaker 2: pick some damn winners, have some fun and make us
- 1:07Speaker 2: some money today. But what's going on?
- 1:08Speaker 1: My friend?
- 1:09Speaker 3: Yeah, man, happy to be on here with you. I
- 1:10Speaker 3: think we're on every Thursday, so hopefully it.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Won't be a rare occasion.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't keep up with it.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's me and you every Thursday. Should
- 1:18Speaker 3: we should be good good to rock every Thursday. But yeah, man,
- 1:23Speaker 3: I'm good excited for this slate always like day based thall.
- 1:28Speaker 3: That's one of the beauties of it. You got two
- 1:30Speaker 3: slates today, main slate obviously locking at one, and there's
- 1:35Speaker 3: some good spots across.
- 1:36Speaker 1: The board, so excited to talk some ball with you. Yeah,
- 1:40Speaker 1: let's go.
- 1:41Speaker 2: I mean, I got I had some pretty decent night
- 1:44Speaker 2: last night came, you know, a few points of hair
- 1:45Speaker 2: short of shipping the grand Slam on FanDuel coming second
- 1:50Speaker 2: wasn't I'm not complaining. It was fifteen hundred bucks. But
- 1:54Speaker 2: you know, nice to wake up in the morning and
- 1:56Speaker 2: see all them Discord screen shots. You know, people doing well,
- 1:59Speaker 2: all the members doing well. So that's always exciting to
- 2:02Speaker 2: see good, good things to see. But man, today in pitching, Matt,
- 2:07Speaker 2: it's like kind of it's one of them days, like
- 2:09Speaker 2: the best pitcher in the planet's pitching in mister Schooble.
- 2:13Speaker 2: So I mean, and I'm not really too fearful of
- 2:15Speaker 2: the writings that the Brewers have, even though they aren't
- 2:18Speaker 2: really high strikeout bats, but Scooble definitely stands out for me.
- 2:22Speaker 2: But we know, if you play Schooble, you're gonna be
- 2:24Speaker 2: paying up for him. So if you want some of
- 2:26Speaker 2: them expensive bats, you know, you might want to consider
- 2:29Speaker 2: paying down a little bit. In pitching, the two sites
- 2:32Speaker 2: kind of have the pitching a little bit different, Like
- 2:34Speaker 2: Michael Soraka is the second highest priced pitcher on FanDuel,
- 2:37Speaker 2: but he's literally seventy seven hundred over on DK. On FanDuel,
- 2:41Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of Soraka at that price, but
- 2:43Speaker 2: on DK, I think he's definitely in play. You got
- 2:46Speaker 2: Web and Glass now also that are in decent matchups.
- 2:49Speaker 2: But how do you see this top tier? Do you
- 2:51Speaker 2: think Schooble's a must jam or do you think that
- 2:55Speaker 2: you could get a little bit away from Schooble to
- 2:57Speaker 2: maybe try to get some of them course field bats.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Do I think he's like an absolute must play?
- 3:04Speaker 1: No?
- 3:04Speaker 3: Do I think he's by far the best picture on
- 3:06Speaker 3: the slate. Yes, So like I'm gonna play him. I'm
- 3:10Speaker 3: sure you can build good lineups without him, if that's
- 3:13Speaker 3: the question. But I can think I can build better
- 3:16Speaker 3: lineups with him best picture on the slate. I'm not
- 3:21Speaker 3: scared of the Brewers, Like they're not a lineup. I
- 3:23Speaker 3: like to pick on her on a daily basis, But
- 3:27Speaker 3: with a stud pitcher like school Baal fine with the matchup.
- 3:32Speaker 3: I mean he's just I mean you mentioned it. He's
- 3:34Speaker 3: the best picture in baseball. He's a true ace top
- 3:37Speaker 3: tier DFS pitcher. Basically every slate he's on, he's gonna
- 3:42Speaker 3: be the top option unless he's facing a team like
- 3:46Speaker 3: the Dodgers. He's not facing that team today. He looks
- 3:50Speaker 3: like the top dog in all fourmats pretty clearly. Then
- 3:55Speaker 3: I think you're gonna see Tyler glass Now get a
- 3:59Speaker 3: lot of love. Nice price tag for him at eighty
- 4:02Speaker 3: seven hundred. He's been good to start the season. You know,
- 4:05Speaker 3: it's basically Scooball then glass Now, then the dropoff at
- 4:09Speaker 3: least for DraftKings. So I think those two guys are
- 4:13Speaker 3: gonna eat up a lot of the ownership. I also
- 4:16Speaker 3: like Soroka on DraftKings. I think he's fairly priced, he's
- 4:20Speaker 3: been good to start the season. Seems like an easy click.
- 4:24Speaker 3: With Schooball. I would be worried about the ownership, but
- 4:27Speaker 3: I'm not because I think glass Now just gets so
- 4:30Speaker 3: much of it. So I think those three guys are
- 4:32Speaker 3: the clear top guys to look at on this slate.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Other good pitchers, Sanchez, you got big time hitters, whether
- 4:40Speaker 3: they're Logan Webb against the Dodgers, you know, Edward Cabrera,
- 4:45Speaker 3: same thing with the hitting weather. So I do think
- 4:48Speaker 3: it's scooball Glass now in Soroka is the top three
- 4:50Speaker 3: with those other guys being tournament viable just because they're
- 4:54Speaker 3: good pitchers.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like for me, I think the ownership
- 5:01Speaker 2: is gonna lie within like those four guys. Like you said,
- 5:04Speaker 2: I think Sanchez is a pretty good pivot off any
- 5:06Speaker 2: of those guys. I mean, ground ball guy. Yeah, the
- 5:08Speaker 2: hitting the hitting weather there does suck, but uh, you know,
- 5:12Speaker 2: we don't really have too many options here today and
- 5:14Speaker 2: he is a decent pitcher, so I don't mind him.
- 5:16Speaker 2: And then really after that, man, I think it's a
- 5:18Speaker 2: bunch of garbage. I mean, I mean, to me, I
- 5:23Speaker 2: don't even see myself getting down to anybody else here
- 5:26Speaker 2: and the Waldrons or Cavelli's or Davis Martin or Sprowed
- 5:29Speaker 2: against the Tigers or I mean, I just can't do it.
- 5:32Speaker 2: So uh you know, for me, I think I would
- 5:35Speaker 2: just pretty much lie. I mean, we we talked yesterday
- 5:38Speaker 2: on this slight like we didn't care about the pitching,
- 5:41Speaker 2: you know, like we we we were talking about playing
- 5:44Speaker 2: Otani and you know, playing the higher owned pitchers yesterday,
- 5:49Speaker 2: and we'd get a little different with bats, you know,
- 5:50Speaker 2: a lot of people are on course yesterday. We got
- 5:52Speaker 2: a course game here today with a knuckleball pitcher pitching today,
- 5:57Speaker 2: so that brings a different dynamic to it. But yeah,
- 6:00Speaker 2: I think today is just simple at pitching. You know,
- 6:03Speaker 2: like if you want a little bit more salary, you know,
- 6:06Speaker 2: you could look at you know, they get like glass
- 6:08Speaker 2: now maybe as your sp one instead of schoogle, if
- 6:11Speaker 2: you want to go that route to save the little
- 6:13Speaker 2: bit of money. But I think pitching's pretty pretty Yeah.
- 6:18Speaker 3: The only other guy I'm like even kind of interested
- 6:20Speaker 3: in is this Jr. Richie for Atlanta. I was big
- 6:25Speaker 3: on Fuentest last night. I'm high on him in general.
- 6:29Speaker 3: He's just got an electric arm and he showed it
- 6:31Speaker 3: stretching out I think seven guys in three innings. Unfortunately,
- 6:34Speaker 3: he also got hit around. Richie doesn't have that same
- 6:37Speaker 3: type of stuff, but he's been good to start the season.
- 6:40Speaker 1: He's cheap.
- 6:42Speaker 3: He's like the only other pivot off of I think
- 6:46Speaker 3: we see it basically the same as far as pitching goes.
- 6:49Speaker 3: With me throwing in Richie as like a intriguing tournament,
- 6:53Speaker 3: you know, spend down option, you know what.
- 6:55Speaker 2: I like that. That's why I was doing the sleigh
- 6:58Speaker 2: plan Matt before before we hopped on here, I ranked
- 7:02Speaker 2: my pitchers and I basically had them like we were saying,
- 7:05Speaker 2: and then I left the bottom open, like one more
- 7:08Speaker 2: line because I thought Matt might talk me into one
- 7:11Speaker 2: low priced guy.
- 7:12Speaker 1: That right, That's all it is.
- 7:15Speaker 3: I feel like I'm mostly with you though, like you
- 7:18Speaker 3: don't really need to get too cute with it, especially
- 7:21Speaker 3: if you're playing like one lineup and we see it
- 7:25Speaker 3: just very similarly.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you know a lot of guys play
- 7:28Speaker 2: three to five, maybe one line up, three to five lineups,
- 7:31Speaker 2: they go twenty lineups, you know, do the one to fifty.
- 7:35Speaker 2: I think most people lie within the twenty to three
- 7:37Speaker 2: to five range. So you know, I usually play three
- 7:40Speaker 2: to five over on FanDuel and you know, mix it
- 7:43Speaker 2: up a little bit. But you know, like yesterday, I
- 7:46Speaker 2: was saying, a full fade in the course field or
- 7:48Speaker 2: you just go for it, you know, and I was
- 7:50Speaker 2: happy I ended up fading it. I think that's kind
- 7:53Speaker 2: of a deal we got here today as we get
- 7:55Speaker 2: through these games here, but we can got we got
- 7:57Speaker 2: the stone pulled up. As you see first game right
- 8:01Speaker 2: out the bat is obviously a good one here Atlanta
- 8:05Speaker 2: in Washington. I mean, I said yesterday I thought the
- 8:08Speaker 2: bet first five in the first five innings over was
- 8:11Speaker 2: a pretty good bet. It was like four to four
- 8:13Speaker 2: in the second inning, so I was pretty happy with that.
- 8:17Speaker 2: But I mean, this game here, I'm gonna go I
- 8:20Speaker 2: like the Braves. I'm going right back to the Braves
- 8:22Speaker 2: here against Kate Cavelly. This guy just is not very good.
- 8:25Speaker 2: He's got a sixteen percent strikeout rate so far to
- 8:29Speaker 2: the rights, which is actually up a few points from
- 8:31Speaker 2: last year where he was at like thirteen percent. So
- 8:34Speaker 2: I do like some of the rightis here at Kunya.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Austin Riley can't seem to hit his way out of
- 8:39Speaker 2: a paper bag here recently, but I do like him
- 8:44Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Today.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Cavelli has been getting hit around a little bit here
- 8:48Speaker 2: by the lefties here too. He's got a four to
- 8:50Speaker 2: thirteen WOL. But so far against lefties, I mean, Baldwin's
- 8:54Speaker 2: been smacking the shit out of it. Olson's been looking good.
- 8:57Speaker 2: But I really do like the Brave. They're up in
- 9:00Speaker 2: one of my top stacks. And then Washington, I think
- 9:02Speaker 2: is interesting against Richie. I don't mind the lefties here.
- 9:06Speaker 2: I think they'd be kind of like a sneaky stack
- 9:08Speaker 2: for me Woods Abrams, if you wanted to look at
- 9:12Speaker 2: those guys. They're gonna throw what maybe eight lefties at
- 9:15Speaker 2: this kid. So I think it's interesting. I don't really
- 9:19Speaker 2: love Washington, but I really like the Braves. I think
- 9:21Speaker 2: they're in a really good spot. And a Brave's been
- 9:22Speaker 2: one of the top hitting teams in all of baseball
- 9:24Speaker 2: top three and ops. We talked about it yesterday. So
- 9:28Speaker 2: I think the Braves for me are sitting at the
- 9:30Speaker 2: top of the perch here today. I like it more
- 9:33Speaker 2: than the cores field game. But yeah, I'm going right
- 9:35Speaker 2: back to the Braves.
- 9:38Speaker 3: Yeah, another slate with even with Cors a bunch of
- 9:40Speaker 3: other offenses that look good, Braves right at the top
- 9:43Speaker 3: of that list. I mean, I saw yesterday they've been
- 9:48Speaker 3: one of the better teams to start the season.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Really good matchup.
- 9:53Speaker 3: You don't get the elite hitting weather that you do
- 9:55Speaker 3: in a couple other spots. But man, you know one
- 9:59Speaker 3: of the best lineups in baseball right now, you know,
- 10:02Speaker 3: top through bottom. I think you can use one through
- 10:05Speaker 3: nine here. Michael Harris just way too cheap red hot
- 10:08Speaker 3: right now. He looks like one of, if not like
- 10:11Speaker 3: the best overall bat on the slate. So yeah, the
- 10:15Speaker 3: Brave stack looks really good. And then I'm with you
- 10:17Speaker 3: on the Nats. I'm intrigued by Richie, but man, Washington's
- 10:22Speaker 3: been so good against right handed pitching to start the season,
- 10:26Speaker 3: and they've got guys James Wood has been a monster.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Abrams looks great to start the season. Dalen Lyle like,
- 10:34Speaker 3: this is a team I could stack. I don't know
- 10:36Speaker 3: if I'm not prioritized stacking then, but they're in play,
- 10:39Speaker 3: just like Richie on the other sides in play.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Yeah, the thing with Richie I's is checking out his miners.
- 10:45Speaker 1: He looks like he's.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Got a little bit of walk issues, but the strikeouts
- 10:48Speaker 2: are there. I mean twenty eight. I mean it's not bad,
- 10:54Speaker 2: but I mean if he starts walking guys that could
- 10:58Speaker 2: I was gonna see if he got run on a bit.
- 11:00Speaker 2: It doesn't I can't find that. But yeah, I mean
- 11:04Speaker 2: I do like the Nats. I mean again, I would
- 11:06Speaker 2: like the over in the first five of this game. Again, actually,
- 11:09Speaker 2: I think the Braves could get there themselves. But I
- 11:12Speaker 2: mean that Nats bullpen is just trash, so definitely have
- 11:15Speaker 2: the Braves ranked up there pretty high. The next game
- 11:19Speaker 2: we have here on the Stone is my Tigers against
- 11:24Speaker 2: the Brewers. Beautiful day here in Detroit. We got Brandon Sprote,
- 11:28Speaker 2: I mean supposed to be, supposed to be a little better,
- 11:31Speaker 2: and he is a young kid. I think the lefties
- 11:34Speaker 2: here are definitely in play for the Tigers. I got
- 11:36Speaker 2: them ranked up there my top five stacks. Mcgonagall's up
- 11:40Speaker 2: coming out the gate looking like the real deal. I
- 11:42Speaker 2: mean this guy, this kid can hit Riley Green if
- 11:45Speaker 2: he doesn't strike out, seems to be able to get
- 11:47Speaker 2: the ball over the fence. He got Carpenter. So I
- 11:50Speaker 2: do like the Tigers. On the other side, going against Schooble,
- 11:54Speaker 2: no thanks. I don't even really see anybody there that
- 11:57Speaker 2: I would even want to play as like a one
- 11:59Speaker 2: off against, you know, a Schooble that will definitely get
- 12:04Speaker 2: some ownership today. I just don't like any of the
- 12:06Speaker 2: righty's that the Brewers are thrown out. So no thanks
- 12:09Speaker 2: on the Brewers and their two and a half run total.
- 12:12Speaker 2: But I think the Tigers are interesting, almost sitting there
- 12:14Speaker 2: at five. Definitely lefty's standing out.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you again. It's hard to like the
- 12:19Speaker 1: Brewers here. You know, I'd have to be.
- 12:21Speaker 3: Having to play a lot of lineups to get to
- 12:23Speaker 3: any Brewers.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Stacks Tigers look better.
- 12:26Speaker 3: I don't think they look amazing considering the other teams
- 12:29Speaker 3: we have today, but Sprot certainly a guy that looks
- 12:35Speaker 3: like can get gotten, so that in itself puts Detroit
- 12:39Speaker 3: in play as a full stack.
- 12:40Speaker 1: I do like them as a stack more than I like.
- 12:43Speaker 3: One offs, just because I feel like if Sprot is off,
- 12:47Speaker 3: Detroit could have a big day. But there are just
- 12:52Speaker 3: other offenses I like more if you know, everything is equal,
- 12:56Speaker 3: So I like the idea of stacking Detroit. I don't
- 12:59Speaker 3: know how much I'm gonna get to them otherwise.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the thing that worries me, just to
- 13:03Speaker 2: tad like with Carpenter is a late pinch hit risk.
- 13:07Speaker 2: If they bring in a you know, they bring in
- 13:09Speaker 2: a lefty, I think he could get pinch hit for
- 13:12Speaker 2: mcgonag Old and Green I feel are fairly safe. But
- 13:15Speaker 2: Carpenter does seem to get pinch hit for, so you
- 13:18Speaker 2: know that That's another reason why I wouldn't even consider
- 13:20Speaker 2: using Carpenter as a one off, but definitely got some
- 13:23Speaker 2: home run pop det is for sure. But moving on
- 13:27Speaker 2: to the next game that we got sitting here is
- 13:30Speaker 2: the wind aided Wrigley Field Cubs and Phillies. We got
- 13:34Speaker 2: Sanchez against Cabrera. I mean, two decent pitchers in real life,
- 13:38Speaker 2: you know.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Not too Badchi.
- 13:40Speaker 2: I feel like, oh, absolutely, I agree with you. So
- 13:44Speaker 2: you know, I mean Sanchez, I mean, we know this
- 13:46Speaker 2: guy's got ground ball ability. I mean, everybody's just beating
- 13:49Speaker 2: the ball in the ground. Last year, he's at seventy
- 13:51Speaker 2: one percent ground balls the left side, fifty six percent
- 13:54Speaker 2: to the right side. You know, I don't really like
- 13:59Speaker 2: any of the Cubs bats here. But on the other side,
- 14:03Speaker 2: I think Philly is interesting against Edwin Cabrera. You know,
- 14:08Speaker 2: Carbrera last year gave up some fly balls to the
- 14:10Speaker 2: left side. He's not striking anybody out so far this year.
- 14:14Speaker 2: The right side he's doing fairly well. He's getting the
- 14:16Speaker 2: right he's out. But I mean, if there's a team
- 14:19Speaker 2: that's got some lefties that I would fear, it's definitely
- 14:22Speaker 2: the Phillies. Schwarber. I think it's in a good spot.
- 14:24Speaker 2: You got Harper, of course, marsh Stott, So I mean,
- 14:28Speaker 2: I think they definitely got the ability to get to
- 14:30Speaker 2: him in a win aided type game, but I don't
- 14:33Speaker 2: have him up that high. I do respect Cabrera, but
- 14:37Speaker 2: I think the Phillies are definitely played. They got some pop,
- 14:39Speaker 2: they got some upside. Maybe they get to Cabrera and
- 14:42Speaker 2: maybe they could pop a few over the fence over
- 14:44Speaker 2: there at Wrigley today. But I don't love it. But
- 14:47Speaker 2: I think with six games, I think they're definitely in play,
- 14:49Speaker 2: could keep up with the top stacks today.
- 14:53Speaker 3: I'm torn on this game because I think that makes
- 14:57Speaker 3: a lot of logic set logical sentence, Like the Phillies
- 15:00Speaker 3: look better than the Cubs here.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Cabrera is good, but he's not as.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Good as Sanchez, and besides that, like Sanchez is just
- 15:09Speaker 3: not a guy you want to stack against like ever
- 15:12Speaker 3: usually because he keeps the ball on the ground, et cetera.
- 15:14Speaker 3: That said, the field knows that too, So Philly is
- 15:19Speaker 3: gonna be owned here in my opinion, where the Cubs
- 15:23Speaker 3: I don't think, get a lot of ownership. And that
- 15:26Speaker 3: makes sense to me, But then I think about it,
- 15:29Speaker 3: and I'm like, Philly's lost eight straight. They're not very
- 15:33Speaker 3: good at least right now. The Cubs are good yet
- 15:37Speaker 3: Philly's the one getting ownership against still a good pitcher,
- 15:42Speaker 3: and the Cubs aren't getting any ownership. So thinking about
- 15:45Speaker 3: it like that makes me like the Cubs and tournaments.
- 15:48Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm gonna get there personally, but
- 15:51Speaker 3: I think they do. If there's ever a slate to get,
- 15:54Speaker 3: you know, to go against Sanchez a little bit today?
- 15:57Speaker 3: Is it just because of the weather? Wow, that doesn't
- 16:00Speaker 3: mean I want to full stack them. I think this
- 16:03Speaker 3: is a spot where movies you could pick off a couple,
- 16:07Speaker 3: But all in all, I'm in agreement with you that,
- 16:09Speaker 3: like on paper, Philly looks better. Cabrera is a guy
- 16:13Speaker 3: that you know, he's not infallible to getting hit, especially
- 16:18Speaker 3: against lefties, and in this you know, in these conditions,
- 16:21Speaker 3: I think.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Philly has big upside.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Even though they haven't been amazing to start the season,
- 16:26Speaker 3: I do feel like, you know, that will probably change,
- 16:29Speaker 3: especially with their lineup. We know how good this lineup is,
- 16:31Speaker 3: so this could be a good good spot to get
- 16:34Speaker 3: on them. I'm a little bit worried about the ownership,
- 16:37Speaker 3: but everyone can't be owned, so the Braves, certainly the Padres,
- 16:43Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks will get to there's a bunch of.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Good stacks today.
- 16:46Speaker 3: So I could see planning your flag on the Phillies here,
- 16:49Speaker 3: and I could see playing a little bit of the
- 16:52Speaker 3: other side as well.
- 16:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean to go on a little further what
- 16:55Speaker 2: you were saying about like Sanchez and you just look
- 16:57Speaker 2: over at the fly ball percentages of some of these.
- 17:00Speaker 2: I mean, it's not bad. They're overall twenty nine percent
- 17:03Speaker 2: fly ball rate against lefties. I mean, so it's not like,
- 17:06Speaker 2: you know, like a team like the Brewers beating the
- 17:08Speaker 2: ball on the ground all the time. They got more
- 17:10Speaker 2: ground ball hitters than they do flyballs. So I mean,
- 17:12Speaker 2: I don't mind that thought with the Cubs there, just
- 17:15Speaker 2: because they do have some fly ball capabilities in that lineup,
- 17:18Speaker 2: So not too bad. In another note, you know, just
- 17:21Speaker 2: flipping around when you're spinning the optos, they sure do
- 17:25Speaker 2: love some Medolas Garcia at that cheap price, at twenty
- 17:27Speaker 2: eight hundred as a maybe a cheap piece to you know,
- 17:31Speaker 2: throw in your lineups, has some upside real cheap. I
- 17:34Speaker 2: think he's twenty eight hundred on DK and I think
- 17:36Speaker 2: he's like twenty four or twenty eight, twenty six hundred.
- 17:39Speaker 2: I think he is on FanDuel, but he wouldn't be
- 17:43Speaker 2: a bad cheap guy to throw in your lineups. The
- 17:49Speaker 2: next game is the one with the highest total that
- 17:52Speaker 2: we've been, you know, fading here the last couple of days,
- 17:56Speaker 2: Padres and Rockies. We're sitting here looking at Ryan Feltner, who, Man,
- 18:01Speaker 2: this guy doesn't strike anybody out, you know. I mean,
- 18:03Speaker 2: they're definitely not going to be missing any bats here today,
- 18:07Speaker 2: that is for sure, Feltner. I mean, we're sitting here
- 18:10Speaker 2: looking at a thirteen percent k rate so far this
- 18:12Speaker 2: year to Rightyes, he was down. Last year he was
- 18:15Speaker 2: like seventeen eighteen percent to right, he's nineteen percent to lefties.
- 18:19Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just not too afraid of guy. The
- 18:21Speaker 2: righties are actually smoking the shit out him here. He's
- 18:23Speaker 2: got a hot fly wOBA at four sixty six. But
- 18:28Speaker 2: you know, and then you look at the other side here.
- 18:30Speaker 2: I Mean, the question Matt for me is is, you know,
- 18:33Speaker 2: I've always kind of had the belief in cores balls.
- 18:37Speaker 2: You know, they don't curve a break as much. You know,
- 18:39Speaker 2: guy's got big benders. It's just with the you know,
- 18:43Speaker 2: the altitude. And I'm sitting there thinking too that, like
- 18:46Speaker 2: I just feel like this guy's knuckleball ain't gonna be
- 18:49Speaker 2: knuckling all that much here in course, so I'm a
- 18:52Speaker 2: little concerned he does give up some some homers. Matt Waldron.
- 18:56Speaker 2: I mean, he's just he's not gonna miss any bats really,
- 19:00Speaker 2: So I mean, I think, like a guy like Mickey Moniac,
- 19:03Speaker 2: it is really interesting for me. And if you ask me,
- 19:06Speaker 2: I think I like the Rocky side a little more
- 19:08Speaker 2: than the Padres side here today. But the Rockies definitely
- 19:12Speaker 2: are facing a tougher bullpen in the Padres than the
- 19:15Speaker 2: Colorado bullpen. But man, I think the Rockies are in
- 19:19Speaker 2: a better spot here today against this knuckle guy. And
- 19:21Speaker 2: I just got a feeling his his shit ain't gonna
- 19:23Speaker 2: work today. So definitely could be something that we keep
- 19:28Speaker 2: our eye on. But I think with the ownership, I'm
- 19:30Speaker 2: just gonna go back, you know, like I said yesterday.
- 19:33Speaker 2: I mean, I'm either gonna play my three or five
- 19:35Speaker 2: teams and go all you know in this game, or
- 19:37Speaker 2: I'm just gonna leave it be. I think, you know,
- 19:39Speaker 2: like I'm gonna leave it be again today, Matt. But
- 19:42Speaker 2: I think it's definitely interesting that knuckleball guy at Waldron
- 19:44Speaker 2: worries me I think the Rockies could get to him.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. I do think your point about the bullpen, though,
- 19:50Speaker 3: is largely you know, something I'm considering because the Padres
- 19:56Speaker 3: bullpen is just so good and the Rockies, you know,
- 20:00Speaker 3: lineup isn't so. I like the Padres more, but I
- 20:05Speaker 3: mean I feel like that's like obviously the Padres project
- 20:10Speaker 3: for more runs, et cetera, et cetera. When you throw
- 20:12Speaker 3: ownership in the mix. I think it's really close. I
- 20:15Speaker 3: could see why you like Colorado more. I like both sides.
- 20:19Speaker 3: Feltner's not good. Waldron could really struggle here. I don't
- 20:24Speaker 3: think you have to play this game just because of
- 20:27Speaker 3: what I said a couple of minutes ago, and that
- 20:28Speaker 3: there are the There are other really good offenses today Atlanta, Philly, Arizona.
- 20:35Speaker 3: But I do think that both these offenses are probably
- 20:38Speaker 3: at the top of the list as far as like
- 20:40Speaker 3: expected outcomes. If you've played this slaid out one hundred times,
- 20:44Speaker 3: who are the teams that are likeliest to have the
- 20:46Speaker 3: most success. I think these are at the top of
- 20:49Speaker 3: that list. Fortunately or unfortunately however you want to look
- 20:53Speaker 3: at it. For us, we're only playing to slit out
- 20:54Speaker 3: one time, so might work out Wonky.
- 20:58Speaker 2: It's a baseball that is for sure. But yeah, I
- 21:03Speaker 2: mean definitely an interesting definitely an interesting game. I mean
- 21:07Speaker 2: we got a three o'clock game, so it's kind of
- 21:09Speaker 2: in like the late window there too, so you know
- 21:11Speaker 2: that game will be going on with this next game,
- 21:14Speaker 2: which has really been the game of this you know,
- 21:17Speaker 2: last three game set here of games that we've had.
- 21:20Speaker 2: I mean this the White Sox Arizona. I think what
- 21:22Speaker 2: both games the winner scored eleven, so I mean White
- 21:26Speaker 2: Sox coming out. I mean these games have been softball
- 21:28Speaker 2: games basically, especially with the roof open out there in Arizona.
- 21:32Speaker 2: But man, I think the Diamondbacks lefties against Davis Martin,
- 21:35Speaker 2: I mean they're in really good spots. Give me some
- 21:37Speaker 2: Corbyn Carrol all day long, Kettle Barte. I think del
- 21:41Speaker 2: Castillo is even interesting sitting there at the catcher spot
- 21:44Speaker 2: for you. I mean yesterday too. You know I ended
- 21:48Speaker 2: up looking at my lineup and you know I ended
- 21:50Speaker 2: up swapping out. I love the Braves and d Backs.
- 21:53Speaker 2: I put them together, and you know all the optos
- 21:55Speaker 2: are giving me Riley. I wasn't a fan of Riley.
- 21:57Speaker 2: I put Arnando in there. Instead bump me up the
- 21:59Speaker 2: bald and so that ended up working. Well, That's pretty
- 22:02Speaker 2: much why I ended up where I was yesterday. But
- 22:06Speaker 2: I did say, you know, Riley for me is in
- 22:08Speaker 2: play today. But I really like these lefties of the
- 22:11Speaker 2: d Backs here and then I mean the White Sox.
- 22:15Speaker 2: I mean, is this dude for real over here on
- 22:17Speaker 2: the White Sox. I mean, is this guy for real Murakami?
- 22:22Speaker 2: I mean, this guy's smoking the shit out of the
- 22:24Speaker 2: baseball here in recent times. So I mean, I don't
- 22:27Speaker 2: know how you discount him. I mean, there's such a
- 22:31Speaker 2: salary difference between Soroka and Fandol and DraftKings. Like I said,
- 22:34Speaker 2: Soroka is a second. He's ten to seven. He's only
- 22:37Speaker 2: like three hundred cheaper than freaking schoobl over there. It's like, man,
- 22:42Speaker 2: and then you got him like seventy seven hundred all
- 22:45Speaker 2: the way down on DK. It's kinda it's kind of
- 22:47Speaker 2: interesting to me. But you know, I think the lefties
- 22:50Speaker 2: here could definitely be in play for the White Sox.
- 22:54Speaker 2: I just don't like it as much as even like
- 22:56Speaker 2: the past few days. But man, I think the d
- 22:58Speaker 2: Backs are really standing out White Sox Bullpenn ain't that
- 23:01Speaker 2: good either.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Yeah, Zona looks good.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Surprised you didn't mention Il Demorrow Vargas. This guy just
- 23:11Speaker 3: on an absolute heater to start the season. Two home
- 23:15Speaker 3: runs again last night. This is like a like a
- 23:20Speaker 3: year long, like just utility type player that would play
- 23:24Speaker 3: off the bench. He has been a monster to start
- 23:27Speaker 3: the season. He's definitely in play in stacks. Had to
- 23:30Speaker 3: shout him out. I like Arizona as well. They look
- 23:34Speaker 3: good here. Davis Martin in the Chicago Pen say last
- 23:38Speaker 3: I'm on, I'm in on Arizona here.
- 23:40Speaker 1: The White Sox are also intriguing.
- 23:43Speaker 3: I mentioned I like Soroka, but the flip side of
- 23:46Speaker 3: that is, you know, good hitting environment. Still here a
- 23:51Speaker 3: White Sox lineup that is rolling right now. They're coming
- 23:54Speaker 3: off a series in Oakland in which they won multiple slates.
- 23:59Speaker 3: Now they're doing so again in Arizona, and the lineup
- 24:02Speaker 3: is just seeing the baseball one through nine right now.
- 24:05Speaker 3: You mentioned Marikami just homering every game. It seems he
- 24:10Speaker 3: was a monster overseas, so he's just kind of picked
- 24:14Speaker 3: up right where he left off. The entire lineup though,
- 24:17Speaker 3: ever since Pereira, Colson, Montgomery, Ben and tendee likely leading off.
- 24:22Speaker 3: I like Sarro Cup, but I would understand why someone
- 24:25Speaker 3: around to stack the White Sox and tournaments.
- 24:28Speaker 1: They kind of remind me of the Nationals.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you look at these White Socks, man,
- 24:33Speaker 2: in the last fifteen days you go to team hitting.
- 24:35Speaker 2: I mean, the White Socks are top five and slugging
- 24:38Speaker 2: in baseball. I mean, they're they're right up there with
- 24:42Speaker 2: the big boys, like I mean the Braves, the Dodgers,
- 24:44Speaker 2: the d Backs, Yankees, you know, Angels, they're right there.
- 24:48Speaker 2: I mean, and they're they're they're in the game. I
- 24:51Speaker 2: mean there's six in ops as well, so the last
- 24:54Speaker 2: couple of weeks. So definitely White Socks have been hitting
- 24:57Speaker 2: here in recent times. So I definitely like that game
- 25:00Speaker 2: as well. I think, more or less off I was
- 25:02Speaker 2: to play White Sox, I think I would game stack it.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Just hope that game turns into a softball game like
- 25:06Speaker 2: they bent. So definitely interesting. And then this last game
- 25:12Speaker 2: we have here with the Dodgers and Giants, I mean,
- 25:15Speaker 2: we got two pretty good pitchers here glass now in web,
- 25:19Speaker 2: I mean, I know we always say, hey, you know,
- 25:21Speaker 2: if you can get the Dodgers that basically lower ownership
- 25:25Speaker 2: should always kind of look at that. But now with
- 25:28Speaker 2: Web possibly being the cheap guy here and even on
- 25:31Speaker 2: both sites, is this an opportunity maybe we can get
- 25:33Speaker 2: some leverage playing some Dodgers here today. I don't really
- 25:36Speaker 2: like the park obviously out in San Francisco, but I mean,
- 25:39Speaker 2: Dodgers are too damn good. We get Otani back in
- 25:41Speaker 2: the lineup. Dodgers, aren't you know, roll you know when
- 25:46Speaker 2: you roll the optose and spin it over there on
- 25:48Speaker 2: Saber Sam. I mean, the Dodgers aren't popping, so you
- 25:50Speaker 2: kind of got to jam them in if you want
- 25:52Speaker 2: some lineups with some Dodgers. But I think the Dodgers
- 25:55Speaker 2: might be a little interesting against Webb. You know, I
- 25:58Speaker 2: don't love it, but it's the Dodgers. We've got six games,
- 26:01Speaker 2: and I don't know how you can't ever not consider
- 26:03Speaker 2: the Dodgers.
- 26:06Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all it is, right, it's the Dodgers. Web
- 26:10Speaker 3: is good. Web is very good. He's not as good
- 26:13Speaker 3: as the Dodgers are, and they're going to be very
- 26:16Speaker 3: low owned, so that's all it is.
- 26:19Speaker 1: They don't project well, go ahead, sorry, well.
- 26:21Speaker 2: I was gonna say Glass and IW has been pitching
- 26:23Speaker 2: really well. Too on the other side. But yeah, I mean,
- 26:25Speaker 2: Logan Web, I mean, you don't want to really fool
- 26:27Speaker 2: with this guy. I mean, he don't even really allow
- 26:30Speaker 2: the ball to get up there. He's got mid ground balling.
- 26:33Speaker 2: I mean, he's just too good of a pitcher.
- 26:36Speaker 3: I agree, And the only reason I think the Dodgers
- 26:39Speaker 3: aren't playing tournaments is because it's the Dodgers. But I
- 26:42Speaker 3: do think that there are other stacks that look better,
- 26:44Speaker 3: and the Dodgers are also really expensive, so you, I mean,
- 26:50Speaker 3: I'll never argue that anyone wanting to play Otania or
- 26:52Speaker 3: really anyone in the Dodgers lineup, but I don't think
- 26:55Speaker 3: I'm personally gonna stack them, but I would understand the
- 26:58Speaker 3: merit and getting to them.
- 27:01Speaker 1: In tournaments.
- 27:02Speaker 3: Like we kind of saw something similar last Sunday where
- 27:06Speaker 3: the Yankees were against Cole Reagan's who's also good, and
- 27:11Speaker 3: the Yankees were very low owned there. The Yankees and
- 27:15Speaker 3: did what they can do and hit a ton of
- 27:16Speaker 3: home runs and won the slate.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Dodgers kind of in a similar spot here.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Dalton rushing dudes hitting homers too, like crazy,
- 27:27Speaker 2: but uh yeah, I mean that's pretty much uh gonna
- 27:30Speaker 2: do it for the six games we got here today.
- 27:34Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean so, I think we're pretty much
- 27:36Speaker 2: on the same page and who we like. But Matt,
- 27:38Speaker 2: give me your give me your top three stacks. Give
- 27:41Speaker 2: me like a sneaky low owned stack, and you know,
- 27:43Speaker 2: let's keep the people happy. I threw out Matt Olson
- 27:46Speaker 2: yesterday to at a home run and K three. So
- 27:49Speaker 2: let's let's see if we can. Let's see if we
- 27:51Speaker 2: can both pull a home run call the day.
- 27:55Speaker 3: I will go with my favorite stacks. Give me, give
- 28:02Speaker 3: me the I'll take the easy one, the Padres first.
- 28:06Speaker 1: We'll go the.
- 28:07Speaker 3: Braves and the Rockies for my home run call, I
- 28:16Speaker 3: will go with I'll go leading off with It's actually no,
- 28:27Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. You talked about the Rockies being a
- 28:29Speaker 3: good spot. I'm gonna go Mickey Moniac.
- 28:32Speaker 1: I like it.
- 28:33Speaker 2: That's that's a good one. I was gonna say almost
- 28:36Speaker 2: stole mine. I mean, Moniac was on my list, but
- 28:39Speaker 2: as you were talking, I decided to, Uh, I'm gonna
- 28:43Speaker 2: go with mister Acuna. They had a home run today.
- 28:47Speaker 2: I think Kunya gets.
- 28:48Speaker 1: The job done.
- 28:50Speaker 2: He's a guy that I mean, he's way too cheap
- 28:52Speaker 2: over there. On Fandle at three K. But kunya for me,
- 28:55Speaker 2: gonna get the job done here today, moniac for you.
- 28:59Speaker 2: You know, I forgot to ask who your favorite pitchers
- 29:01Speaker 2: were too. I should have threw that in there. We can, uh,
- 29:03Speaker 2: we can do that as well.
- 29:06Speaker 1: I'll say school Ball and.
- 29:10Speaker 3: I'll say school Boy in Glass Now, Uh, it's just
- 29:13Speaker 3: too It's Glass Nights is too cheap, I think.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Yeah, Glass and Oles had like six over on Fandelly.
- 29:18Speaker 2: I mean he's pretty much he's been a lock for
- 29:21Speaker 2: that quality start over there on Fandel with him six innings,
- 29:24Speaker 2: he's been pulling out every start. So definitely, uh, definitely
- 29:28Speaker 2: like that. But uh, Matt, that is pretty much gonna
- 29:32Speaker 2: do it. But before we get out of here, I
- 29:34Speaker 2: got to keep the boss man happy. And uh, I
- 29:37Speaker 2: mean it's a great time to get over here and
- 29:40Speaker 2: check out what we got here at ship at Nation.

- 30:02Speaker 2: we are. There, we are, I can click us back on.
- 30:04Speaker 2: See I'm getting a little better at this driving shit.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Just been a minute but not too bad, but still

- 30:13Speaker 2: last words before we get out of here, and let's
