- 0:09Speaker 1: All systems go.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Clear for liftoff. and ship it nation youtube station we
- 0:49Speaker 2: are back with another edition of the mlb show it's
- 0:52Speaker 2: your boy ham filling in for g rising who's having
- 0:54Speaker 2: issues with the interwebs and the power up in the
- 0:58Speaker 2: big d detroit i'm here with my guy bellman normally
- 1:01Speaker 2: get us on a on a friday but today you're
- 1:03Speaker 2: getting this on a thursday matt uh what's going on
- 1:06Speaker 2: man you had another close one yesterday and you've been
- 1:08Speaker 2: balling out of control over there in the mlb streets
- 1:10Speaker 2: how's your week been so far what's going on my.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Man oh man happy to see you always love these
- 1:15Speaker 1: shows double dip just like last week. So pump for that.
- 1:19Speaker 1: And yeah, man, I made a, I didn't even tell
- 1:23Speaker 1: you about this cause I was so embarrassed. I might
- 1:25Speaker 1: just have to break it on air, but yeah, first
- 1:29Speaker 1: the tilt yesterday was real. You know, should have, I mean,
- 1:33Speaker 1: I say should have, should have, could have, would have
- 1:35Speaker 1: taken down the early slate three 33. If Trevor Rogers
- 1:37Speaker 1: just gets that W two outs, two strikes in the
- 1:41Speaker 1: ninth baseball happens. So, It is what it is. It
- 1:46Speaker 1: was still nice to come in second, although that drop
- 1:48Speaker 1: off is pretty, pretty nasty, as we've talked about a
- 1:51Speaker 1: bunch recently. So it was just pretty poetic that it
- 1:54Speaker 1: happened like that. And also a lineup that I had
- 1:57Speaker 1: in the mix that I didn't play would have beat
- 1:59Speaker 1: that lineup. So frustrating, but still we're close. It was
- 2:03Speaker 1: a nice day, you know, profit-wise, so we'll take it.
- 2:06Speaker 1: But in the process of that, you know, I played
- 2:10Speaker 1: a couple of night slate lineups too, or main slate,
- 2:13Speaker 1: however it was called yesterday. I made a mistake that
- 2:16Speaker 1: I have not made in probably, I don't even know,
- 2:19Speaker 1: years of MLB or any sport DFS. The last time
- 2:24Speaker 1: I can think of I made a mistake like this
- 2:27Speaker 1: is in League of Legends DFS, which I also play
- 2:29Speaker 1: a lot, but much easier to make mistakes like this.
- 2:32Speaker 1: In my best lineup, I had a guy who was
- 2:34Speaker 1: not in the starting lineup. Kiki? Yeah, exactly. I don't
- 2:41Speaker 1: know how that happened. How did you even do it once? Okay,
- 2:46Speaker 1: so I must.
- 2:47Speaker 3: I took him out.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Yeah, and honestly, I was so tilted over the afternoon
- 2:55Speaker 1: slate that I just somehow overlooked it, because I must
- 2:59Speaker 1: have misread it for Teoscar, Ohio, so I had a
- 3:01Speaker 1: bunch of, and yeah, bro, just tilting all around, because
- 3:05Speaker 1: it was my best lineup finish 13th, so just tilted,
- 3:09Speaker 1: you know, but that's what DFS will do to you.
- 3:12Speaker 1: You got to take the wins when they come, so
- 3:14Speaker 1: We're not greedy over here. Hopefully we get all the
- 3:16Speaker 1: way to the top tonight. Enough about me. How are you?
- 3:19Speaker 3: Well, yeah, hold on. So that begs the question. Like, yeah,
- 3:22Speaker 3: so you saw Hernandez. Yeah, I'm good. Hernandez is in there.
- 3:26Speaker 3: I'm golden. And it's the wrong Hernandez.
- 3:30Speaker 1: I don't even know. I mean, this also comes with
- 3:32Speaker 1: not checking DraftKings enough after the slate starts, you know,
- 3:35Speaker 1: because I play minimal lineups. I don't need to check in.
- 3:38Speaker 1: My lineups are set. I had a school event, as
- 3:40Speaker 1: I told you about, for my four-year-old.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Yep.
- 3:42Speaker 1: My wife was on my ass for being on my phone. So,
- 3:46Speaker 1: you know, you know how it goes.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Oh, heck yeah. No, it sounds good.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been rocking and rolling this week, doing the
- 3:54Speaker 2: day-to-day job. And our guy G-Rising got smashed by Mother Nature.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Hopefully you're safe, though, G-Rising up there in Detroit. I
- 4:02Speaker 2: got this up on the screen right now. If you
- 4:04Speaker 2: aren't a member over here at Shippenation, head on over
- 4:07Speaker 2: there now. NFL-only package gets you all the way through.
- 4:10Speaker 2: The Super Bowl, that's $ 349, includes Saberson with that, on
- 4:15Speaker 2: top of the fact that that will get you entered
- 4:17Speaker 2: each week if you're one of the 499 into the
- 4:19Speaker 2: ship at games that we're going to give over $ 45, 000.
- 4:21Speaker 2: So head on over there now. NFL only, only $ 349.
- 4:25Speaker 2: That gets you a chance to win a cash prize
- 4:30Speaker 2: of $ 45, 000 plus today, and that is going to go
- 4:33Speaker 2: up as the season goes along.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Well, Matt, we got a six-game slate to break it
- 4:37Speaker 3: all down here.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I'm going to head on over to our stone, a
- 4:41Speaker 2: proprietary stone that we go through each and every time
- 4:44Speaker 2: we're on a show together.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Six games to break it all down.
- 4:47Speaker 2: We do have some weather in Baltimore, so make sure
- 4:50Speaker 2: you're paying close attention to that. You alerted me earlier
- 4:53Speaker 2: that the wind is no longer blowing out in Chicago.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Good hitting weather in Kansas City that we're going to
- 4:59Speaker 2: touch on as we get to this. We're going to
- 5:00Speaker 2: go game by game all six games tonight. We're going
- 5:03Speaker 2: to play this Red Sox game in Orioles like it
- 5:05Speaker 2: is going to play That's the first one up on
- 5:06Speaker 2: the docket.
- 5:07Speaker 3: We've got two confirmed lineups out.
- 5:09Speaker 2: We've got my boy Drew Bennett on the hill for
- 5:10Speaker 2: the Red Sox, taking on Brandon Young in Camden Yards,
- 5:15Speaker 2: where Matt right-handed power goes to die. We've got former
- 5:20Speaker 2: Oriole great Adley Rutschman batting third in his homecoming debut.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Talk to me through this one. Red Sox at the Orioles.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, you know, this is a game on
- 5:32Speaker 1: the slate. You know, this slate is nice for a
- 5:34Speaker 1: six game slate. I think there's a bunch of different
- 5:36Speaker 1: avenues you can take this game. Honestly, of all the
- 5:41Speaker 1: games on the slate though, might be the least appealing
- 5:43Speaker 1: for me on the Boston side. They're facing Brandon young.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Who's not particularly good, but I don't think he's like
- 5:50Speaker 1: a gas can Boston's affordable. They're going to get ownership.
- 5:56Speaker 1: I like them. I just don't know if I want
- 5:58Speaker 1: to play them into ownership on this slate where there's
- 6:00Speaker 1: a bunch of offenses I like. So I think Boston
- 6:03Speaker 1: looks good, not amazing. Baltimore, Bennett's been good. So I
- 6:08Speaker 1: don't think he's some elite DFS pitcher coming off a
- 6:11Speaker 1: really good start against the Yankees. Baltimore coming off a
- 6:14Speaker 1: bad series in cores. They were awful for me yesterday.
- 6:17Speaker 1: So they're on my bad side. I don't really want
- 6:21Speaker 1: to play Bennett here. Also don't really want to stack Baltimore.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I think they've got some pieces. You can play Luis
- 6:26Speaker 1: Robert hitting third at 3,500, namely. But for me, if
- 6:30Speaker 1: I'm playing one lineup, I get playing some Boston, but
- 6:37Speaker 1: the first lineup I built had nothing from– actually, it's
- 6:40Speaker 1: not true. The first lineup I built had one piece
- 6:42Speaker 1: from this game, Luis Robert, 3,500. So I don't think
- 6:46Speaker 1: there's any priorities here.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Yeah, Luis Robert, if you can't make the Mets, man,
- 6:52Speaker 2: you can't make my DFS teams. He's pretty bad, did
- 6:56Speaker 2: bad this season. You're a huge Mickey Gasper guy, and
- 6:59Speaker 2: all that guy does is go yard day in and
- 7:01Speaker 2: day out, surprised you don't like him.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Oh, man. Now that you mention it, I remember you
- 7:07Speaker 1: giving me so much, and he's been awesome. So maybe
- 7:13Speaker 1: Toluse Smith is the next Mickey Gasper.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, let's don't crown Mickey Gasper. He was
- 7:23Speaker 3: in AAA a week ago. He's been amazing. Let's don't
- 7:27Speaker 3: crown him yet.
- 7:28Speaker 1: I'm crowning him. I'm crowning him. He's been awesome. You
- 7:34Speaker 1: were laughing at his name when you first saw it. So, yeah,
- 7:38Speaker 1: I'm crowning him. All right.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Matt's all over AAA legend Mickey Gasper tonight. Fun fact,
- 7:47Speaker 2: where did Drew Bennett play– College football.
- 7:51Speaker 1: College football or baseball?
- 7:53Speaker 3: Well, this guy's Jake Bennett. I said Drew Bennett on purpose,
- 7:57Speaker 3: but do you even know who Drew Bennett is?
- 8:01Speaker 1: I'm going to say Tennessee. Tennessee.
- 8:04Speaker 3: No, he played for the Titans, but he's not from there. Anyway,
- 8:07Speaker 3: moving on to the next game, UCLA. Moving on to
- 8:10Speaker 3: the next game, wind blowing in.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Kevin Gausman, the corpse of Kevin Gausman, taking on Logan
- 8:15Speaker 2: Henderson and his Brewers team.
- 8:16Speaker 3: He put up, I think, what, nine last night. Logan
- 8:19Speaker 3: Henderson's been.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Good this year.
- 8:20Speaker 2: I know you're a big fan of his. You got
- 8:23Speaker 2: the Brewers going to come in. I think they're going
- 8:25Speaker 2: to get some ownership tonight. Talk to me about this game.
- 8:28Speaker 2: The Brewers, the Miz was just that last night.
- 8:31Speaker 3: He was miserable. And he's not pitching tonight. Take it
- 8:33Speaker 3: on the Cubs. Talk to me.
- 8:36Speaker 1: So we no longer have extreme hitting weather in Wrigley,
- 8:40Speaker 1: which is interesting for this game. I think Logan Henderson
- 8:47Speaker 1: looks good here. I mean, the Cubs, it's hard to
- 8:49Speaker 1: love anyone right now against the Cubs. Their offense is cooking.
- 8:53Speaker 1: We've seen it. They just destroyed Miz, his worst start
- 8:56Speaker 1: of the year. But different weather here. And Logan Henderson
- 9:00Speaker 1: is a true top of the rotation guy for me.
- 9:03Speaker 1: So I'm fine with his price tag. I think you
- 9:06Speaker 1: get him at lower owns like man, Scooble is the
- 9:12Speaker 1: better play. And I think he obviously projects way better,
- 9:16Speaker 1: but Scooble is a thousand more and going to be
- 9:21Speaker 1: like in higher dollars, single entry or low entries type stuff.
- 9:25Speaker 1: He's going to be like seven times his own. So
- 9:29Speaker 1: I could see going to Henderson in that scenario, just
- 9:32Speaker 1: buying the ownership. You know, if you're not playing them
- 9:34Speaker 1: both together, there's some cheaper pitching. I like Henderson's in
- 9:37Speaker 1: play for me. If nothing else is a spend up
- 9:40Speaker 1: to be contrarian guy. I like Milwaukee bats, but I
- 9:44Speaker 1: feel like Gaussman is the type of pitcher. I respect
- 9:49Speaker 1: him enough where I don't really want to pick on
- 9:51Speaker 1: him when the field is. I don't think he's good
- 9:54Speaker 1: enough to never pick on, but like if Milwaukee's chalk here,
- 9:59Speaker 1: Weather's turned. I'm good I'll play other spots so for
- 10:02Speaker 1: me this game is about Henderson and not much more.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Henderson I was going to ask you about the Cubs
- 10:09Speaker 2: it sounds you don't like the Cubs yeah I mean
- 10:11Speaker 2: they've been dynamite they scored how many ever run 17
- 10:13Speaker 2: or whatever it was the first night where they hit
- 10:15Speaker 2: nine home runs then got to miss last night but
- 10:18Speaker 2: like you said Different weather in that. Jackson Churio been hot.
- 10:22Speaker 2: I think he went yard last night. I know you
- 10:23Speaker 2: know this, but he had two bombs. I think that
- 10:25Speaker 2: was last Wednesday or Thursday when you played a lot
- 10:28Speaker 2: of them.
- 10:29Speaker 3: So, yeah, good stuff there on those first two games.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Next game up on the slate, I think you're going
- 10:34Speaker 2: to have some interest in these offenses, but you got
- 10:37Speaker 2: the Marlins headed into Coors Field, 2.0, to take on Mr.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Waka Flock of Flame, who Marlins is going to be
- 10:44Speaker 2: super popular tonight, in my opinion. They have Cindy Alcantara
- 10:47Speaker 2: on the bump, who was terrible. Then he got good
- 10:48Speaker 2: for a little bit. I would say kind of middle
- 10:50Speaker 2: of the road over the last couple of starts, but
- 10:52Speaker 2: maybe you see something different in this game.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Talk to me about this one. Marlins at Kansas city.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Really good hitting weather tonight too. I don't, I like
- 11:04Speaker 1: both these offenses a lot. I'm a little bit confused
- 11:07Speaker 1: why Miami against Waka, who is not good, but he's
- 11:12Speaker 1: not like that much worse than some of the other
- 11:14Speaker 1: pitchers on this slate. Why Miami is going to be
- 11:16Speaker 1: so much higher on than some other teams, but, I
- 11:20Speaker 1: get it. They're cheap. They've been good. And they get
- 11:25Speaker 1: such a massive ballpark upgrade. Like they're not priced for
- 11:27Speaker 1: this park. So Miami looks really good. I feel like
- 11:32Speaker 1: if you're not playing Miami, it's mostly an ownership thing
- 11:35Speaker 1: just because of how cheap they are. So I think
- 11:39Speaker 1: playing some Miami makes some sense. You don't have to
- 11:42Speaker 1: go overboard with it. You don't have to five minutes
- 11:44Speaker 1: to act them. You don't have to play them in
- 11:45Speaker 1: every lineup, but I'm going to get some Miami exposure here.
- 11:49Speaker 1: And then I like KC also. I played them last
- 11:51Speaker 1: night against Uri. Monster first inning, and then they kind
- 11:55Speaker 1: of died, which stunk, but they stole some bases, which
- 11:58Speaker 1: they can do again tonight. And just like you get
- 12:01Speaker 1: that big hitters upgrade for Miami, you get a big
- 12:03Speaker 1: downgrade for Sandy. So I like KC as kind of
- 12:08Speaker 1: a contrarian stack off of Miami. They're way more expensive,
- 12:11Speaker 1: but that will just mean they're lower owned. If they're
- 12:14Speaker 1: the team that scores 10 tonight, it doesn't matter what
- 12:15Speaker 1: their price tags are. So this game is all about offense.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, but how
- 12:25Speaker 2: do you view Sandy?
- 12:26Speaker 3: How's Sandy been doing?
- 12:28Speaker 1: I'm not playing Sandy here. I just don't think this
- 12:30Speaker 1: is the spot. You know, again, like he's been, as
- 12:36Speaker 1: you kind of mentioned, inconsistent when he's good. He's good.
- 12:40Speaker 1: And I'm a Sandy guy at heart, but not in
- 12:42Speaker 1: this spot. You know, major ballpark downgrade. Priced. fairly at
- 12:47Speaker 1: best pitching slate is good. There's a couple of guys
- 12:53Speaker 1: up top, I think are significantly better plays in Henderson
- 12:56Speaker 1: and Scooble. And then a couple of guys cheaper than
- 12:59Speaker 1: him that I project better than him. So I guess,
- 13:03Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to tell me I had
- 13:06Speaker 1: to take out Scooble, Henderson, and then Kate Anderson and Perkins,
- 13:12Speaker 1: and I'd have to choose between all the other guys and,
- 13:16Speaker 1: I can make a case for Sandy there, but that's
- 13:17Speaker 1: about it. I think he's like, you know, one 50
- 13:21Speaker 1: type settings only for me. Yeah.
- 13:23Speaker 3: All right. Good stuff there.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Appreciate everybody tuning in all 100 of you.
- 13:28Speaker 3: Hey, do us a favor, hit that, like hit that
- 13:31Speaker 3: subscribe button. It helps us out a ton.
- 13:32Speaker 2: You're getting all the tips from fantasy tips, Matt 95
- 13:36Speaker 2: K over the last eight days in his, in his
- 13:38Speaker 2: bank account for a, well, Matt, you can't, you can't.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Get at the top. I don't think you've won one yet.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Have you, but you've been close. Awful lot. You're due.
- 13:45Speaker 2: We know it's coming up. He's been balling. So hit
- 13:47Speaker 2: that like, hit that subscribe button. Helps us out a
- 13:49Speaker 2: ton over here. Next game up on the slate, I
- 13:51Speaker 2: think this is going to get some interesting stuff. Cal
- 13:54Speaker 2: Quantrill has turned into Cal Young. Changed his name over
- 13:57Speaker 2: the last month. It feels like taking on Shane McClanahan and.
- 14:00Speaker 3: This Rays team.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Rays, I don't care where they're going, but they get
- 14:05Speaker 2: a ballpark upgrade when they get out of the trop.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Now they head into another stadium, which I think is
- 14:10Speaker 2: a bad hitter stadium as well, but Talk to me
- 14:13Speaker 2: about this game.
- 14:13Speaker 3: Rays at the Rangers.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Yeah, so Quantrill's been good recently. He went from a
- 14:21Speaker 1: guy that I always picked on to do we consider
- 14:25Speaker 1: playing some Cal Quantrill here?
- 14:27Speaker 3: Cal Young. That's his real name.
- 14:32Speaker 1: That said, and while I think he's in play here
- 14:34Speaker 1: at 7,300, give me a low on Rays' tech against him.
- 14:39Speaker 1: At heart, I still don't think Cal Quantrill's good. His
- 14:42Speaker 1: underlying stuff isn't nearly as good as his actual numbers. And, yeah,
- 14:48Speaker 1: he's in a good stretch right now. And he's no
- 14:50Speaker 1: longer someone that I need to pick on. But the
- 14:52Speaker 1: Rays are really good. They don't play in a hitter's
- 14:55Speaker 1: park to begin with. And I just think they're too
- 14:58Speaker 1: low on for this slate in particular. So I like
- 15:02Speaker 1: picking on, you know, using some Rays against Quantrill. But
- 15:07Speaker 1: that said, I get it, man. Like, you want to
- 15:09Speaker 1: use Quantrill here or just not play the Rays? Makes sense.
- 15:13Speaker 2: A couple of questions real quick before you get on
- 15:15Speaker 2: the other side of it. Junior Caminero at 6,700. Like,
- 15:19Speaker 2: is that too much for junior or are we still,
- 15:21Speaker 2: we five man stack in these rays one off and
- 15:24Speaker 2: I'm like, who were, who were some of your favorites
- 15:27Speaker 2: for the rays?
- 15:28Speaker 1: Yeah. Caminero. Quadros always had some reverse splits in his game.
- 15:33Speaker 1: So I like Caminero. I like Yandy and then, you know,
- 15:37Speaker 1: Chandler Simpson, if he gets on base, he's running.
- 15:40Speaker 2: So.
- 15:42Speaker 1: I like the Rays' stack also just as a low-owned
- 15:45Speaker 1: stack on this slate. There's not really that much about
- 15:50Speaker 1: them that stands out, but I think you're going to
- 15:53Speaker 1: get a really good ownership discount on them, and we
- 15:55Speaker 1: know their upside is real. I think when people spend up,
- 15:59Speaker 1: they're not spending up on the Rays.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Yeah, $ 6, 700, that's like out of control in my opinion,
- 16:08Speaker 2: is it not?
- 16:10Speaker 1: I mean, what do you mean out of control? It's
- 16:12Speaker 1: high for sure.
- 16:14Speaker 2: I mean, to me, that's like an Otani and Coors
- 16:16Speaker 2: type of number.
- 16:18Speaker 3: He was seven grand last week.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I mean, he's been that consistently. Let's see. His average
- 16:24Speaker 1: tag this season is– I can't even see right now.
- 16:31Speaker 1: But it's– I mean, he's– yeah, he's expensive though. You're right.
- 16:35Speaker 2: I mean– Until he gets 28 with two bombs, then
- 16:38Speaker 2: he's not expensive anymore.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Right, exactly. So he's definitely got the upside to pay
- 16:43Speaker 1: it off.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Okay, and then what about the other side? I cut
- 16:47Speaker 3: you off.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Sorry about that. The other side I'm pretty indifferent to.
- 16:51Speaker 1: I don't really want to play McClanahan here, but I
- 16:53Speaker 1: also don't want to stack Texas, so I'm hoping it's
- 16:55Speaker 1: kind of just a mess spot. I mean, 150 settings,
- 16:58Speaker 1: I think both sides are in play. But for me,
- 17:01Speaker 1: I'm not really excited about either.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Okay.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Okay.
- 17:08Speaker 2: No Rangers, my boy Jock Peterson not in there versus
- 17:10Speaker 2: a lefty. Ezekiel Dern batting leadoff, Nemo. What are they throwing, what,
- 17:16Speaker 2: seven righties at the South Pole? Might not be a
- 17:19Speaker 2: bad contrarian stack if you wanted to go that route.
- 17:22Speaker 1: No, not bad.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Say what?
- 17:25Speaker 1: Not bad, but I mean, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe McClanahan's
- 17:30Speaker 1: the guy you want to pick on over Quantrill right now, like.
- 17:34Speaker 3: I don't think that's good. That's why I changed his
- 17:36Speaker 3: name to Cal Young, right? He's just been falling out
- 17:39Speaker 3: of control.
- 17:41Speaker 1: I'll say this. I don't think that Texas looks all
- 17:43Speaker 1: that different from Tampa. I like Tampa's upside more, though.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:49Speaker 3: Okay. Next game on the slide.
- 17:51Speaker 2: I know we're going to have some interest in this
- 17:52Speaker 2: one from one side of the ball anyway, or one
- 17:54Speaker 2: side of both teams, one side. Anyway, athletics, taking on
- 17:59Speaker 2: the Mariners. Athletics got you there yesterday, my boy Henry Bolte.
- 18:03Speaker 2: Your boy, Alika Williams, whatever that catcher's name was that
- 18:08Speaker 2: I don't see down there, but take it on the Mariners.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Safeco Field, or whatever they call it these days. Cade Anderson, lefty.
- 18:16Speaker 3: On the hill.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Captain Jack, Jack Perkins on the bump for the Athletics.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Talk to me about this game. Athletics slated to score
- 18:25Speaker 2: three runs, it looks like, but Athletics at the Mariners.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm surprised Kate Anderson isn't striking more guys out,
- 18:34Speaker 1: but he's still been pretty good, and it's a great
- 18:36Speaker 1: spot for him. I mean, the athletics got there from yesterday,
- 18:42Speaker 1: but today you get them in Seattle, so massive, about
- 18:46Speaker 1: as massive of a home park shift you can get.
- 18:49Speaker 1: And Kate Anderson, it's basically a minor league lineup, and
- 18:53Speaker 1: Kate Anderson was nails in the minors, so there's a
- 18:56Speaker 1: lot to like about him at 7,200. He's just Too
- 19:00Speaker 1: cheap for his projection, basically all over the industry tonight.
- 19:05Speaker 1: And there's a lot to like. He'll be owned. So,
- 19:09Speaker 1: you know, take with that info what you will. It's
- 19:12Speaker 1: MLB DFS. I do think that there's a role for
- 19:15Speaker 1: the A's on this slate. I mean, not even considering
- 19:20Speaker 1: how much I love them in general. Kate Anderson has
- 19:25Speaker 1: been good, but he hasn't been amazing. He's not striking
- 19:29Speaker 1: guys out. The A's just got to another lefty yesterday
- 19:33Speaker 1: that was pretty popular. It's a small slate. No cores.
- 19:40Speaker 1: No Sacramento. No Great American. I don't know. You can,
- 19:45Speaker 1: if you can get by like the Kansas city, Miami game,
- 19:47Speaker 1: which it's Kansas city and Miami, I wouldn't be shocked
- 19:51Speaker 1: if the A's get there tonight. I'm more on the
- 19:53Speaker 1: Anderson side, but I'm thinking big picture on the slate,
- 19:57Speaker 1: low ownership, et cetera. So just had to get that
- 20:00Speaker 1: in there.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I like that. And let's, let's talk a
- 20:04Speaker 2: little bit about that. I'm going to play devil's advocate
- 20:05Speaker 2: with you as well. It's like, I ran the dry
- 20:08Speaker 2: run over at our partner, sabersim.com, and you're getting 60,
- 20:14Speaker 2: what is it, 64%, 65% Cade Anderson at 7,200.
- 20:21Speaker 3: I liked what you said.
- 20:22Speaker 2: This is their third straight game facing a lefty, facing
- 20:25Speaker 2: McKenzie Gore. Then they faced, I think it's Corey Bradford yesterday.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Now they get Cade Anderson. I would say the only
- 20:32Speaker 2: thing that you're missing is, is that park, right? You're
- 20:35Speaker 2: going into the Mariner Stadium, Mariner's Park, whatever it's called.
- 20:38Speaker 2: You know, downgrade from Texas. But third straight lefty, Cade Anderson,
- 20:47Speaker 2: I think you taught me this, but, like, I would
- 20:50Speaker 2: consider Cade, like, not a great pitcher. And any time
- 20:55Speaker 2: we get a chalky, not great pitcher, I'm fine to
- 20:59Speaker 2: stack against.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Even, like, in a three-max. So– Yes. And yes, that
- 21:05Speaker 1: is something I say. Oh, sorry. Okay.
- 21:09Speaker 3: No, no, I'm good. I'm good.
- 21:13Speaker 1: So yes, that is something I say. And that is
- 21:16Speaker 1: something that is pertinent tonight. The only difference I'll say
- 21:19Speaker 1: is Kate Anderson's like the top pitching prospect in baseball.
- 21:23Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, he's good. You know what I mean?
- 21:26Speaker 1: Whether he's that good now remains to be seen, but like,
- 21:30Speaker 1: he's not just some scrub that's too cheap. That's getting love.
- 21:34Speaker 1: He's getting love because he's too cheap, but he's also
- 21:38Speaker 1: got talent here to have like a really good game
- 21:41Speaker 1: in my opinion. So that's why it's like, I don't
- 21:43Speaker 1: like them as much as I would be if they
- 21:45Speaker 1: were just facing some middle of the road pitcher who
- 21:47Speaker 1: is 7,200. Now like, yeah, like whoever, there's still a
- 21:52Speaker 1: lot of unknown with Kate Anderson though. So that's why
- 21:54Speaker 1: it's worth, you know, at least thinking about the A's.
- 21:59Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm playing some A's tonight and there's no reason
- 22:01Speaker 2: I like the A's. You look, you look on their,
- 22:03Speaker 2: You look at their stone. There's no reason to play
- 22:05Speaker 2: the A's. There was no reason to play the A's yesterday,
- 22:07Speaker 2: like I said to you. And they came through. So
- 22:10Speaker 2: I'm going to run it back. Hopefully that catcher's in there.
- 22:12Speaker 2: What was that catcher's name? Oh, Servan, whatever his name is.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Dan Servan, whoever that is. I'm going to give me
- 22:17Speaker 2: some Alika. Jeff McNeil was hot in the chat. Jonah Him,
- 22:22Speaker 2: the law dog, Gilof, and Bolte.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, obviously you can't play all those. So
- 22:25Speaker 3: I'm going to give me some of that.
- 22:27Speaker 2: What about let's, let's talk enough about the A's and
- 22:29Speaker 2: Kate Anderson. Let's talk Mariners and the, and Jack, Captain Jack.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:36Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like part of the reason I
- 22:40Speaker 1: like him more than, well, not even, I like him
- 22:42Speaker 1: more than Kate Anderson here. He's almost 2K cheaper. He
- 22:46Speaker 1: gets that same ballpark. Well, he gets the ballpark upgrade
- 22:50Speaker 1: going from Sacramento to now Seattle. Like, I think that
- 22:56Speaker 1: he's a lot riskier than Kate Anderson here because he
- 23:01Speaker 1: hasn't been good this year at all, but man, like
- 23:06Speaker 1: still a believer in his stuff. Kind of. He's got
- 23:09Speaker 1: a six 42 ERA, which is asked, but he's got
- 23:12Speaker 1: a 4.0 expected ERA, like big difference there. He's striking
- 23:18Speaker 1: out over 25% of hitters. He goes from Sacramento to Seattle.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Seattle's not good. I know they're coming off a good
- 23:25Speaker 1: series in Boston, but now you get them back home
- 23:28Speaker 1: in this ballpark. The bottom of this lineup is disgusting
- 23:31Speaker 1: right now. Perkins is 5,500, 1,200 less than Caminero. So, yeah,
- 23:39Speaker 1: I like Perkins here. He's just super cheap. There's expensive
- 23:42Speaker 1: bats I like. Am I going to be shocked if
- 23:44Speaker 1: he gets blown up like my boy Lauer? No, but
- 23:50Speaker 1: I like him at that price point.
- 23:54Speaker 2: I mean, 5,500, he only projects, you know, for two
- 23:58Speaker 2: less points than Kate Anderson, but at a fraction of
- 24:01Speaker 2: the ownership. Like, obviously, projection is just that. But, you know,
- 24:06Speaker 2: how big of a gap is two points projection to you?
- 24:12Speaker 1: Not a lot. And I think you can, yeah, I
- 24:16Speaker 1: think you could project them pretty similarly. Yeah. You can
- 24:20Speaker 1: definitely play both pitchers also. Yeah.
- 24:24Speaker 2: That's what I was going to bring up. Yeah, we
- 24:25Speaker 2: talked a little bit about this pre-show. So just say
- 24:27Speaker 2: that again.
- 24:27Speaker 3: I was talking over you.
- 24:28Speaker 1: My apologies. You can definitely play both pitchers in this
- 24:34Speaker 1: game together, apart, however you want to play it. They're
- 24:38Speaker 1: both super cheap. And I like the idea of playing
- 24:41Speaker 1: them together.
- 24:42Speaker 3: Playing together.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Put Junior Caminero at third base. Then you're off to
- 24:46Speaker 2: the races. And thank Matt later for pointing that out.
- 24:50Speaker 1: All right.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Last game on the slate.
- 24:52Speaker 2: It's going to come with a heavy dose of pitching
- 24:56Speaker 2: because we have a really good pitcher on the hill
- 24:59Speaker 2: and then, I don't know, up-and-comer.
- 25:01Speaker 3: Had a good game last game. I know you played
- 25:03Speaker 3: a ton of them last game.
- 25:03Speaker 2: But Quinn Matthews makes his Hollywood debut going in to
- 25:08Speaker 2: Chavez Ravine to take on the Dodgers. Tarek Skubal was
- 25:11Speaker 2: dynamite in his last start. He's been dynamite all season.
- 25:13Speaker 2: He's been dynamite for the last several years. But you
- 25:17Speaker 2: got some guy for the Cardinals named Thomas Seguis who's
- 25:20Speaker 2: turned into a modern-day Ozzie Smith Just hitting the ball
- 25:23Speaker 2: all over the place, doing everything at the shortstop position.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Talk to me about this game. You got the Cardinals
- 25:29Speaker 2: wrapping up in the Dodgers. They went to extras last night.
- 25:32Speaker 2: Cardinals have won back-to-back in L.A. Shohei Otani's been garbage
- 25:37Speaker 2: this series.
- 25:39Speaker 3: Hey, you got Scooble. You got Matthews. Talk to me.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of torn here all over. I don't
- 25:48Speaker 1: want to stack St. Louis. I'm not stacking St.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Louis.
- 25:50Speaker 1: I know they... Beat up Lauer. And they actually got
- 25:56Speaker 1: to Yamamoto yesterday, too. But I'm not in the business
- 25:59Speaker 1: of stacking against Scooble on six-game slates like this. Now,
- 26:05Speaker 1: I don't think you have to play him because he's expensive.
- 26:08Speaker 1: And I already talked about Logan Henderson. And I like
- 26:11Speaker 1: Perkins and Kate Anderson a lot. So Scooble's the best
- 26:15Speaker 1: pitcher on the slate, and I project him to be
- 26:16Speaker 1: the highest scorer. And if there's a cheap stack I like,
- 26:19Speaker 1: I'll play him. Like, I'm not going to play. I'm
- 26:21Speaker 1: not going to leave. salary. The only guy I'd leave
- 26:25Speaker 1: salary for is Logan Henderson. I even wouldn't do that
- 26:27Speaker 1: for him. Like baseball is not the sport where you
- 26:30Speaker 1: need to do that in my opinion. So I would
- 26:34Speaker 1: play school if I had the salary. I don't think
- 26:35Speaker 1: you have to prioritize that though. I'm out on St. Louis,
- 26:39Speaker 1: Quinn Matthews. I'm a believer in his stuff. And I
- 26:44Speaker 1: did play a lot of him last time and he
- 26:46Speaker 1: was really good, but kind of like the A's yesterday
- 26:50Speaker 1: versus the A's today. Like, I don't know, man. Now
- 26:55Speaker 1: you get him against the Dodgers. Much different spot than
- 26:58Speaker 1: the Pirates, who are awful against lefties. I like the
- 27:02Speaker 1: Dodgers stack. I don't know if I like them as
- 27:04Speaker 1: much as the field, because I respect Matthews, but the
- 27:06Speaker 1: Cardinals have a bad bullpen. And I still don't know
- 27:09Speaker 1: if Matthews is good. I just liked him in that
- 27:12Speaker 1: spot last time. You know, so... It's all Dodgers for
- 27:16Speaker 1: me here.
- 27:16Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Um.
- 27:27Speaker 3: How much is Otani at 65? Yeah, Junior Caminero is 67.
- 27:31Speaker 3: That's wild to me. No Cardinals. Scooble.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Where do you have the Dodgers in relation to stacks
- 27:39Speaker 2: versus Miami and Kansas City?
- 27:45Speaker 1: Man, I got to say above those teams. I got
- 27:48Speaker 1: to say number one.
- 27:49Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 27:49Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's the Dodgers against Miami and Kansas City, right?
- 27:55Speaker 2: Like.
- 27:56Speaker 1: I'd feel dumb not putting them number one, even though
- 27:58Speaker 1: I recognize the spots that especially Miami's in. But Sandy,
- 28:05Speaker 1: you know, even though I like Kansas City as a
- 28:07Speaker 1: contrarian-ish stack, like I think they're going to be contrarian-ish
- 28:12Speaker 1: because Sandy's good. So I think the Dodgers are in
- 28:20Speaker 1: just as good a spot. The weather is more optimal
- 28:25Speaker 1: for hitting in Kansas City. And I like both those
- 28:27Speaker 1: teams too. So tough. Yeah.
- 28:31Speaker 2: All right. Just talking a little bit about, you know,
- 28:34Speaker 2: we got some time left talking a little bit and
- 28:35Speaker 2: you're normally not a one 50 player, but got a
- 28:37Speaker 2: question for you. If playing one 50 and you have
- 28:41Speaker 2: 12 offenses to choose from, are you the type of
- 28:43Speaker 2: guy that's going to play, get, get a piece of
- 28:45Speaker 2: all 12 offenses or are you going to cut it
- 28:47Speaker 2: off somewhere?
- 28:51Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm playing one 50, I'll probably have
- 28:53Speaker 1: a piece in there of all the offenses, you know,
- 28:56Speaker 1: Does that mean I'll full stack all of them? No,
- 28:59Speaker 1: but I'm not really the type that's going to just
- 29:03Speaker 1: X out a team from the field usually, but it's
- 29:06Speaker 1: slate dependent, you know? Yeah.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Awesome stuff there.
- 29:11Speaker 1: All right.
- 29:12Speaker 3: That'll do it for us. That's all six games.
- 29:15Speaker 2: We're going to get out of here with a home
- 29:16Speaker 2: run call here in a second, but Hey, do us
- 29:18Speaker 2: a favor real quick.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Hit that. Like hit that subscribe button. It helps us
- 29:21Speaker 3: out a ton. And if you aren't a member over

- 29:41Speaker 3: We got a college football show going on right now.
- 29:43Speaker 3: That's if you're allowed to play that in your home state.
- 29:45Speaker 3: All right, Matt, let's go.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Since it's a six-game slip, we'll keep it short.
- 29:49Speaker 3: Let's go. Top two pitchers, let's go. Let's go.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Well, you've already given your top two stacks, so let's
- 29:56Speaker 2: give maybe a contrarian stack. You know, let's say– eight
- 30:00Speaker 2: through 12 that you think could possibly be on the
- 30:02Speaker 2: winner and give me a home run call of the day.
- 30:06Speaker 1: That stack is easy for me. Give me the raise
- 30:10Speaker 1: as the low on stack. That's going to do it tonight.
- 30:13Speaker 1: I'm not buying what crotch will sell. And he's a fraud.
- 30:15Speaker 1: I saw for too long on Cleveland. He's coming back
- 30:20Speaker 1: down to earth here. So give me the raise home
- 30:24Speaker 1: run call. He was very hurtful for me on Sunday.
- 30:31Speaker 1: But I'm ultimately a big fan of this guy, and
- 30:33Speaker 1: he's coming off a nice couple games. Tommy Edmond going
- 30:38Speaker 1: yard tonight.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Ooh, Tommy Edmond.
- 30:40Speaker 1: Yeah, he was hurtful for you.
- 30:42Speaker 2: I'm going to say I'm playing four teams tonight. I'm
- 30:46Speaker 2: going to have one A stack. A stack is my stack.
- 30:51Speaker 2: I said it a little bit ago. Third straight night
- 30:53Speaker 2: seeing a lefty. Hopefully they see the ball spinning off
- 30:56Speaker 2: that way.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Maybe that's just me thinking that happens.
- 30:58Speaker 2: But third straight lefty, downgrade in ballpark, you're going to
- 31:03Speaker 2: basically get them unowned. So, if they go off, Matt,
- 31:07Speaker 2: then you're off to the races way ahead of the field.
- 31:09Speaker 3: So, I'm going to give me some A's. That'll do
- 31:13Speaker 3: it for us. Matt and I will be back tomorrow
- 31:15Speaker 3: at our regularly scheduled time, 4 p.m.
- 31:16Speaker 1: You need your home run call.
- 31:19Speaker 3: Oh, home run call? I'm going to go Vinnie Peay.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Okay, I love that call.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Vinny Pascantino, I like him tonight to take Sandy deep. So, yeah,
- 31:34Speaker 2: Vinny P is my call, and I like the A's
- 31:36Speaker 2: as a contrarian five-man stack. Matt is on the Rays
- 31:39Speaker 2: as his contrarian five-man stack. Good luck tonight in those contests.
- 31:43Speaker 2: We'll be back tomorrow, 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, to
- 31:46Speaker 2: break it all down for you again. Hit that like,
- 31:49Speaker 2: hit that subscribe on your way out.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Until tomorrow, just ship it.
