- 0:08Speaker 1: All systems go.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Clear for liftoff.
- 0:40Speaker 3: What is going on shipping nation youtube station back wednesday
- 0:44Speaker 3: full slate of games you got six early games that
- 0:46Speaker 3: are ongoing right now which does include the course field
- 0:50Speaker 3: so no course field here to talk about but we
- 0:52Speaker 3: do still have wrigley in our lives here g rising
- 0:55Speaker 3: we got coffin stadium with some good weather should be
- 0:58Speaker 3: a fun slate to break down here bring you in
- 1:01Speaker 3: man happy wednesday what's going on.
- 1:03Speaker 4: Brother Yeah, happy Wednesday. Hot happy Wednesday here in Michigan.
- 1:08Speaker 4: I think it's hotter today than it was yesterday. I mean,
- 1:10Speaker 4: it's just like scorching ass hot. So, hey, I guess
- 1:13Speaker 4: one last time before the season wraps up here, we'll
- 1:16Speaker 4: take it. But we know the winter man's coming here soon. But, yeah,
- 1:21Speaker 4: either way, excited to break this one down.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Kind of laughing, Nades.
- 1:24Speaker 4: My silly friends, I'm having my fantasy draft for my
- 1:27Speaker 4: season-long league I've had on Labor Day. And the donkey
- 1:31Speaker 4: commissioner text everybody and said, let Scott know how you
- 1:34Speaker 4: want your steak for the draft.
- 1:36Speaker 2: I'm like, motherfuckers, we ain't having no steak over here
- 1:39Speaker 2: at the draft. You'll be lucky to get some hot
- 1:40Speaker 2: and ready pizzas over here. Like, what are y'all thinking?
- 1:43Speaker 2: But I'm just laughing because now all these fools are
- 1:45Speaker 2: texting me medium, medium rare.
- 1:49Speaker 4: So good times. Always fun to fuck around with your friends. But, hey,
- 1:52Speaker 4: we got, what, six games? I was looking like nine
- 1:54Speaker 4: on FanDuel. And then we got, they like that 740 start,
- 1:58Speaker 4: I guess, over there on DK. But six games over there.
- 2:02Speaker 4: We got your Superman on the hill today, too, up
- 2:04Speaker 4: there at 12K, which would be interesting. Couple decent pitchers
- 2:08Speaker 4: on the hill today. But, yeah, how about yesterday? Damn,
- 2:12Speaker 4: them Tigers suck, man. Fucking twins. I thought they were
- 2:15Speaker 4: going to have another position player going out there for
- 2:17Speaker 4: the Tigers again to pitch. But, dude, Cody Clemons got
- 2:21Speaker 4: 24 bombs already this year.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Like, where did this guy come from? I know he
- 2:25Speaker 2: was on the Tigers.
- 2:26Speaker 4: They let him go for basically nothing.
- 2:28Speaker 2: So another boo-boo there. But, yeah, hey, we got six games.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Looking forward to breaking it down.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Looks like we got a few pitchers that might be
- 2:37Speaker 4: getting some ownership between Cam Schlittler, Yamamoto, and Mr.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Detmers.
- 2:42Speaker 4: So Mizman isn't really in that conversation. So I kind
- 2:47Speaker 4: of like that. Like Bob says here, too, FanDuel pitching's loaded. Yeah,
- 2:52Speaker 4: if Cease was on the slate over on DK, he'd
- 2:54Speaker 4: be my favorite pitcher. but not so the case. He
- 2:57Speaker 4: is my favorite pitcher over on FanDuel. I mean, his
- 2:59Speaker 4: ring of strikeouts is unreal, man. His run of strikeouts
- 3:02Speaker 4: sees his head. He's just been looking unbelievable. So definitely
- 3:06Speaker 4: like him over there on FanDuel, but we're going to
- 3:09Speaker 4: talk to us about some DK here. We got six games,
- 3:12Speaker 4: but Nades, yeah, kind of a nice one. Only got
- 3:14Speaker 4: six to talk about here today. Usually seems Wednesday's a
- 3:17Speaker 4: little longer, but I mean, hey, I kind of like
- 3:20Speaker 4: the six-game slate.
- 3:21Speaker 2: It's not too bad.
- 3:23Speaker 4: And there isn't anything overwhelmingly glaring that we see most
- 3:27Speaker 4: of the time.
- 3:28Speaker 2: So, yeah, let's see what we can get.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Yeah, should be a fun slate for sure. We got
- 3:34Speaker 3: Wardo in here. Juice wins a lot. Bobbo, so post-owner. Juice, again,
- 3:39Speaker 3: hit that like button. Hit the subscribe button. It helps
- 3:41Speaker 3: us out a ton. And you alluded to it, right?
- 3:43Speaker 3: Broad slate overview. It's Schlittler Yamamoto, as much of those
- 3:47Speaker 3: two guys as you can afford and fit in together.
- 3:50Speaker 3: And if you can't, then it's a drop down to
- 3:53Speaker 3: read Detmers. And then the fourth guy is going to
- 3:56Speaker 3: be Jacob Mizorowski. Pretty big drop off behind Schlittler and Yamamoto,
- 4:01Speaker 3: at least in terms of ownership due to that extra
- 4:04Speaker 3: thousand dollars and fifteen hundred dollars. Schlittler has basically the
- 4:08Speaker 3: same props in Vegas, doesn't have the wind blowing out
- 4:12Speaker 3: in Wrigley.
- 4:13Speaker 1: And gets the Angels.
- 4:14Speaker 3: For $ 1, 000 cheaper. So that's hence why the ownership and
- 4:19Speaker 3: the projection is off the chart for a guy like
- 4:20Speaker 3: Cam Schlitter. But we know it's Mizorowski. We know it's
- 4:23Speaker 3: a big game. Brewers can take a nine-game lead in
- 4:25Speaker 3: the division here. The issue is, is when don't affect it.
- 4:29Speaker 3: If you don't make contact with the baseball, that's been
- 4:32Speaker 3: a struggle all year for opposing hitters against Jacob Mizorowski there.
- 4:36Speaker 1: So that takes us right into pitching here at G-Rise.
- 4:39Speaker 3: And let's just do Let's go the 8K and above,
- 4:42Speaker 3: and then we'll talk about Reid Detmers and Noel Cameron
- 4:44Speaker 3: and any of these other donkeys down below 8K after.
- 4:48Speaker 3: But let's go ahead and pull our screen share here
- 4:51Speaker 3: up on the screen. As you see, I have it
- 4:54Speaker 3: up there. Mizorowski up at the top at 12K, flat
- 4:58Speaker 3: for him. Schlittler at 11K, Yamamoto at 10.5, and then
- 5:02Speaker 3: it drops down to Yuri Perez at 8,500.
- 5:06Speaker 1: How do you see this top tier going?
- 5:08Speaker 3: And what are you going to do amongst the top three, Schlittler, Yamamoto, Mizorowski?
- 5:13Speaker 3: How are you kind of slicing those guys up?
- 5:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we got a game out there in
- 5:19Speaker 2: Wrigley with the Miz man.
- 5:21Speaker 4: I mean, he's definitely, as you said, he's the pivot
- 5:23Speaker 4: off those top two with Schlittler and Yamamoto.
- 5:27Speaker 2: But, I mean.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Just to throw up a couple flags here on Mizorowski,
- 5:31Speaker 4: I mean, his strikeout percentage has been down a little
- 5:34Speaker 4: bit the last 30 days from where he's been at
- 5:35Speaker 4: this season. I mean, he's got a ridiculous 44% K
- 5:39Speaker 4: percentage to the left side, 31.5% to the right side.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Last 30 days haven't been all that great. He's actually
- 5:46Speaker 4: down about 9% to both sides of the plate as
- 5:49Speaker 4: far as strikeouts go, 30% to the left side, 28%.
- 5:52Speaker 4: to the uh to the right side he's been walking
- 5:55Speaker 4: a little bit more guys here in recent times too
- 5:58Speaker 4: with his nine and a half percent walk rate in
- 5:59Speaker 4: his last month but uh i mean it's still the
- 6:02Speaker 4: ms i mean he can uh definitely get the job
- 6:05Speaker 4: done the other thing that was kind of glaring in
- 6:06Speaker 4: his last 30 days he's been getting barreled up by
- 6:09Speaker 4: lefties at 10 and a half percent his fly ball
- 6:11Speaker 4: percentage is up to 37 ground ball down to 26
- 6:16Speaker 4: to where he's at a 55 percent ground ball rate
- 6:19Speaker 4: to the right side so We already know PCA is
- 6:22Speaker 4: seeing beach balls. Like, that dude is definitely locked in. So,
- 6:26Speaker 4: I mean, some of the lefties here could get to Miz. But,
- 6:30Speaker 4: I mean, not being a chalky guy, I don't think
- 6:34Speaker 4: I really want to use any of these Cubbies bats
- 6:37Speaker 4: against the Miz. But if you were going to, I mean,
- 6:39Speaker 4: the lefties, PCA, Bush would be the guys I'd be
- 6:43Speaker 4: looking at. I mean, moving down, though, I mean, Schlittler
- 6:45Speaker 4: with that pretty nice hefty K-prop. is against that Angel lineup,
- 6:50Speaker 4: which we know, we talked about all year. We want
- 6:53Speaker 4: to use good strikeout, our heavy strikeout arms, especially righties
- 6:57Speaker 4: against these Angels. I mean, Netto's at 32.5% strikeout rate
- 7:01Speaker 4: against righties. Trout, 26. The bottom half of that lineup, 38, 27, 30%. So,
- 7:05Speaker 4: I mean, there's only two bats that are under 20%. So, Uh,
- 7:13Speaker 4: Schlittler's definitely, uh, got a, a hefty K prop sitting
- 7:17Speaker 4: up there at seven and a half. I mean, his
- 7:18Speaker 4: strikeout percentage has been up a little bit the last
- 7:21Speaker 4: 30 days. Something we definitely like to see, uh, barrels
- 7:24Speaker 4: have been there a little bit against lefties, but I'm
- 7:27Speaker 4: not really too afraid of this, uh, this angel lineup. Uh,
- 7:30Speaker 4: Schlittler has been a little bit bad with his control
- 7:34Speaker 4: in his last 30 days too, which I do think
- 7:36Speaker 4: is a little bit concerning. He's at a 14% walk
- 7:38Speaker 4: rate double to where he's been in the season, uh,
- 7:40Speaker 4: 12 and a half, almost 13% walk rate to the
- 7:44Speaker 4: left side, 16% walk rate to the right side. So,
- 7:49Speaker 4: I mean, you look at some of this Angel lineup,
- 7:51Speaker 4: you got Trout. He's about the most patient hitter they
- 7:54Speaker 4: got at 14% walk rate, Meckler. So, I mean, if
- 7:57Speaker 4: I'm comparing, just kind of looking like between like Schlittler
- 8:01Speaker 4: and Yamamoto, who we're going to talk about now, I
- 8:03Speaker 4: think I'd have Yamamoto a little bit ahead of of Schlittler,
- 8:07Speaker 4: even though he's got a little better K prop. And
- 8:09Speaker 4: that reason being just because of the walk issues that
- 8:13Speaker 4: I just mentioned there with Schlittler. Yamamoto's looked really good
- 8:16Speaker 4: in his last few starts. K percentage up to 40%
- 8:20Speaker 4: to the left side in the last 30 days. His
- 8:23Speaker 4: walk percentage is a little bit concerning too at 10.5%
- 8:25Speaker 4: to the left side, but I mean, he's just been good.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Ground ball percentage has looked good. His fly balls haven't
- 8:32Speaker 4: been up high. He's only got an 11% fly ball
- 8:35Speaker 4: rate the last 30 days of lefties. So, I mean,
- 8:37Speaker 4: other than Alec Burleson, who's got a 410 Woba against righties,
- 8:41Speaker 4: the rest of the St. Louis hitters do not look
- 8:44Speaker 4: too promising. So I'd put Yamamoto ahead of Schlittler.
- 8:49Speaker 2: And then just.
- 8:50Speaker 4: Moving on down, I mean, like you mentioned, with some
- 8:53Speaker 4: of these other chalky guys, Perez against Kansas City, I
- 8:58Speaker 4: just can't go there. Detmers sitting there at 7,800 against
- 9:02Speaker 4: the Yankees. I mean, I can see why. I mean,
- 9:05Speaker 4: he's got a decent price here, 7,800. He's not looked
- 9:07Speaker 4: too bad.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Here in his recent starts here, he's had– his last
- 9:11Speaker 2: start didn't look good.
- 9:12Speaker 4: Obviously, he had two Ks. But he did have 11
- 9:14Speaker 4: strikeouts a couple starts ago. So I think Detmers is
- 9:17Speaker 4: definitely in play. We know the Yankees got some strikeouts
- 9:20Speaker 4: in that lineup. So, I mean, we're looking at 28%
- 9:24Speaker 4: for Ben Rice. In the bottom part of that lineup, Calabro, Chisholm,
- 9:28Speaker 4: Ali Sanchez, he's in there. They all have fairly high
- 9:30Speaker 4: strikeout rates. So Detmers at that price, 7,800, he's definitely
- 9:34Speaker 4: going to be in play, one of the chalkier ones.
- 9:35Speaker 2: I mean, you mentioned Noah Cameron, too. I think he's
- 9:39Speaker 2: in play.
- 9:39Speaker 4: But up at top nades, I think I'm going Yamamoto, Schlittler,
- 9:46Speaker 4: And then I'm going to go Ms.
- 9:47Speaker 2: And then I'll go Detmer.
- 9:51Speaker 4: On FanDuel, Dylan Cease for me is my favorite pitcher. But, yeah,
- 9:55Speaker 4: I mean, I think Miz is a pretty good pivot
- 9:57Speaker 4: here off of those two. I mean, you've got to
- 10:00Speaker 4: pay up a little bit, obviously. Miz 1,000 more than Schlittler, 1,500
- 10:04Speaker 4: more than Yamamoto. But I think Miz, I mean, obviously
- 10:08Speaker 4: with that strikeout rate that he has throughout the season
- 10:12Speaker 4: is definitely in play. Struggled a little bit, like I mentioned, but,
- 10:15Speaker 4: I mean, we got six games, not like we got
- 10:17Speaker 4: a plethora to pick from. But Schlittler, Yamamoto, and Detmers,
- 10:20Speaker 4: I think are going to garner most of the ownership.
- 10:22Speaker 4: And I think Miz is a great pivot. And then
- 10:24Speaker 4: Cameron would be my bottom lower level pivot off of Detmers.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that. So I'll break it down. I
- 10:32Speaker 3: do have Yamamoto number one as well. So I'm with
- 10:34Speaker 3: you there. Ownership, you're going to get a little discount
- 10:38Speaker 3: on him in terms of ownership compared to Schlittler too.
- 10:41Speaker 3: So I do like that. Um, I think Miz is
- 10:43Speaker 3: a really good tournament option on this slate. He hasn't
- 10:46Speaker 3: had less than eight strikeouts against the Cubs in either
- 10:49Speaker 3: of his two starts against them.
- 10:51Speaker 1: He's got the win in both of them as well.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Six innings.
- 10:54Speaker 3: I don't expect him to let, let him go much
- 10:56Speaker 3: more than six unless he's super efficient. Um, this game
- 10:58Speaker 3: is meaningful, but it's not super meaningful. Bruce still have
- 11:01Speaker 3: an eight game lead on the division and Miz is
- 11:03Speaker 3: much more important to this team for the playoffs than, um,
- 11:06Speaker 3: throwing them out there for a hundred plus pitches in, uh,
- 11:09Speaker 3: September 2nd baseball game against the Cubs, right, with a
- 11:12Speaker 3: commanding lead.
- 11:13Speaker 1: In the division.
- 11:14Speaker 3: However, I say all that to say that you're going
- 11:16Speaker 3: to get Miz at half the ownership of Schlittler and Yamamoto,
- 11:20Speaker 3: and it's only $ 1, 000 more, right? I know $ 1, 000, but
- 11:23Speaker 3: that's the difference from going to maybe a guy hitting
- 11:25Speaker 3: fifth in the lineup to playing a guy that's hitting eighth.
- 11:29Speaker 3: And realistically, they have kind of the similar ceiling and upside,
- 11:33Speaker 3: and you're getting that with a guy Mizorowski, who is
- 11:36Speaker 3: the clear-cut Cy Young in the National League this year.
- 11:40Speaker 1: And he's going to be unowned compared to the other
- 11:42Speaker 1: two guys.
- 11:44Speaker 3: He still has the highest ceiling in baseball, right?
- 11:47Speaker 1: He still has a 7.5K prop. I get it.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Schlittler has a 7.5K prop, too. They're both used to
- 11:52Speaker 3: the over there. I think ranking the three of them,
- 11:55Speaker 3: I have Yamamoto a clear step ahead of both of them.
- 11:59Speaker 1: And then it's probably Miz and then Schlittler for me.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Hard to really get away from those three. I'm going
- 12:03Speaker 1: to have exposure to all of them.
- 12:05Speaker 3: I do think taking a stand and kind of getting
- 12:07Speaker 3: overweight on Miz here is interesting. I did watch that
- 12:10Speaker 3: last start, um, where people say he had a down game. Um,
- 12:14Speaker 3: he couldn't plant on his lead foot. Uh, he was
- 12:17Speaker 3: slipping on the mound. I think it was out in, uh,
- 12:20Speaker 3: what was his last one? It was in New York. Um,
- 12:24Speaker 3: I think, and they, he couldn't plant. So G rising,
- 12:28Speaker 3: if he can't plant on that lead leg and get
- 12:30Speaker 3: over the top, that's where his velocity drops. And that's
- 12:32Speaker 3: where his strikeouts dropped as well. Um, He still found
- 12:36Speaker 3: a way to go six innings with six strikeouts, got
- 12:39Speaker 3: the win as well. So I don't expect him to
- 12:43Speaker 3: have mound issues here. Again, I expect the strikeouts to
- 12:47Speaker 3: still be there. I mean, this dude still has incredible
- 12:50Speaker 3: strikeout stuff. He still had a 39% strikeout rate on
- 12:53Speaker 3: the season, 30% over the last month. He's only going
- 12:56Speaker 3: to see probably at most four lefties in here. And
- 12:59Speaker 3: you look at his strikeouts to the right side, he
- 13:02Speaker 3: mows down– righties as well. And all of these Cubs
- 13:06Speaker 3: strike out against right-handed pitching outside of a couple of guys.
- 13:09Speaker 1: So I think the upside is there. The ownership's low.
- 13:12Speaker 1: It's a short slate.
- 13:14Speaker 3: I think finding the extra thousand dollars off of Schlittler
- 13:17Speaker 3: is pretty interesting overall. And just dropping, going to Mizorowski
- 13:21Speaker 3: and Yamamoto gives you $ 500 anyways, right? So I do
- 13:25Speaker 3: like that. The cheaper guys, I think Reed Detmers is
- 13:28Speaker 3: the best play on paper. He's going to be owned
- 13:30Speaker 3: at such as well. You're probably going to see him
- 13:32Speaker 3: and Schlittler As the cash game pairing, it might be
- 13:35Speaker 3: Yamamoto and Schlittler, depending on what the lineups look like
- 13:38Speaker 3: for the bats perspective. Detmers looks like a pretty solid play.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Yankees is a high powered offense. There is strikeouts in
- 13:44Speaker 3: there as well. Personally, for me, I do have Noah
- 13:47Speaker 3: Cameron ahead of Detmers. I know the weather is really
- 13:50Speaker 3: good in Kauffman. I know the wind's blowing out and
- 13:52Speaker 3: I know it's 100 degrees, but I mean, Cameron's going
- 13:55Speaker 3: to be a fraction of the ownership, one fourth, maybe
- 13:57Speaker 3: even maybe even lower. owned in that you're probably looking
- 14:02Speaker 3: at like 10% to 50%, somewhere in that regard as
- 14:05Speaker 3: the Delta there between those two. I think Cameron's a
- 14:08Speaker 3: really interesting play in tournaments here. Miami is also going
- 14:10Speaker 3: to be the highest on stack on the slate again.
- 14:12Speaker 3: So I think he's really interesting overall. And then the
- 14:16Speaker 3: only other guy I think you could throw in the
- 14:17Speaker 3: pool is Dean Kramer. Tigers have been atrocious. It was
- 14:21Speaker 3: the same reason I was on pre-lip yesterday. Obviously pre-lip's
- 14:24Speaker 3: a different pitcher and throws different than what, Dean Kramer does,
- 14:29Speaker 3: but at 6,400 on a short slate with upside, get
- 14:33Speaker 3: you on a completely different roster construction. Maybe you go
- 14:35Speaker 3: Dean Kramer and Mizorowski instead of Schlittler and Reid Detmers,
- 14:39Speaker 3: something like that. It is pretty interesting. That's, what, 18-8
- 14:44Speaker 3: between those two? And you look at Miz and Dean Kramer,
- 14:48Speaker 3: it's 18-4, right? So you save $ 400. All you need
- 14:52Speaker 3: is Miz to outbeat Schlittler. He could easily do that.
- 14:55Speaker 3: and Dean Kramer to go out there and match or
- 14:58Speaker 3: get close enough to Detmers that you just totally leap
- 15:03Speaker 3: the field or left the field. So I do think
- 15:05Speaker 3: that little 2v2, Miz, Kramer compared to Schlittler, Detmers, it's
- 15:10Speaker 3: not going to project as well. But again, six-game slate,
- 15:13Speaker 3: shorter slate, any given night. We see chalk pitchers fail
- 15:16Speaker 3: all the time. Why can't it be Mizorowski, the best
- 15:19Speaker 3: pitcher in baseball, and Dean Kramer against the scuffling Tigers team?
- 15:23Speaker 1: How do you see the lower tier, though?
- 15:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of with you.
- 15:28Speaker 4: I mean, Dean Kramer, just because the Tigers have been
- 15:30Speaker 4: so bad, but that part of me wants to even
- 15:32Speaker 4: stack against Kramer.
- 15:33Speaker 2: That guy's no good, man. He stinks.
- 15:36Speaker 4: But I mean, we do have six games here on
- 15:38Speaker 4: the slate, you know, so you can leave Kramer in there.
- 15:41Speaker 4: He's just been getting beat up a little bit here
- 15:43Speaker 4: recent times by lefties. His ground ball percentage is low.
- 15:46Speaker 4: His fly ball percent rate is pretty high. You know,
- 15:49Speaker 4: we got McGonigal, Keith Green, McKinstry, Clark. I mean, we
- 15:53Speaker 4: got some decent lefties, especially McGonigal. I do like him
- 15:57Speaker 4: up there at the top of that lineup. But as
- 15:58Speaker 4: you mentioned, Tigers can't hit out of a damn paper
- 16:01Speaker 4: bag here in recent times. So, yeah, that's definitely been
- 16:05Speaker 4: an issue. But I mean, down below, it just definitely
- 16:08Speaker 4: gets it gets definitely pretty thin real quick. And kind
- 16:12Speaker 4: of back up a little bit more on Miz, what
- 16:14Speaker 4: we are talking about. I did notice like Basically, in July, Nades,
- 16:17Speaker 4: he was like in the mid-80s. He had a couple
- 16:20Speaker 4: 83-pitch starts. He had a 65-pitch start. He had like
- 16:23Speaker 4: an 82-pitch start. But here coming into August, I mean,
- 16:27Speaker 4: he's been in that mid-90 range.
- 16:28Speaker 2: So that's good.
- 16:29Speaker 4: It's been bumped up here his last four starts. So
- 16:32Speaker 4: I think that's promising, too, because there was a stretch
- 16:34Speaker 4: there with Miz. that I just remember in my mind, like, dude,
- 16:37Speaker 4: what's this pitch count been looking like here recent times?
- 16:39Speaker 4: Because I do remember it was down a little bit. Obviously,
- 16:42Speaker 4: so they're trying to save their horse for the finish
- 16:45Speaker 4: line here. But, yeah, I think Miz is in a
- 16:49Speaker 4: pretty good spot here today. I mean, I don't like
- 16:51Speaker 4: fucking with the Cubs. You know, Cubs are kind of
- 16:53Speaker 4: in that bucket like the White Sox here in recent
- 16:56Speaker 4: times for me. But there's just certain pitchers that, I mean,
- 16:59Speaker 4: they're generally matchup-proof, especially if they're on that day. Miz
- 17:02Speaker 4: is definitely one of them guys. But, yeah, I think
- 17:05Speaker 4: pitching would be a pretty tight pool for me today, Nades.
- 17:08Speaker 4: I'd just get a little different with the bats. You know,
- 17:10Speaker 4: like I said, Yamamoto, Schlittler, Detmers, Miz, Cameron would probably
- 17:15Speaker 4: be about the only place I'd really look at. I
- 17:17Speaker 4: can't go Martin.
- 17:18Speaker 2: He's been hurt.
- 17:19Speaker 4: I think he's got a– I heard he had a
- 17:20Speaker 4: blister issue he's been dealing with here winding down the season.
- 17:25Speaker 4: I can't play Anderson Wisniewski. Maybe you could, but, again,
- 17:28Speaker 4: I ain't fooling with against the White Sox. Don't like
- 17:30Speaker 4: doing that. So, Cameron, Detmers– Yep, they would be in play. Yamamoto, Schlittler, Miz.
- 17:37Speaker 4: I mean, we've got a thin pitching staff, but as
- 17:39Speaker 4: I mentioned, Cease for me is my favorite all day
- 17:42Speaker 4: as I put my action over on FanDuel.
- 17:44Speaker 2: But Cease for me is my favorite pitcher.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I tend to agree.
- 17:48Speaker 3: I think if you wanted to cut it off, those
- 17:49Speaker 3: five guys, Miz, Schlittler, Yamamoto, Detmers, Cameron, with the focus
- 17:53Speaker 3: around these four in Schlittler, Yamamoto, Detmers, and Cameron, I
- 17:58Speaker 3: think you could definitely do and be underweight on Miz.
- 18:01Speaker 3: I'm taking a different approach. I'm going over on Miz
- 18:04Speaker 3: and going to be under on Schlittler.
- 18:05Speaker 1: So I'm flip-flopping those two.
- 18:07Speaker 3: And then Dean Kramer would be the distant guy in
- 18:11Speaker 3: larger fields, 20 max, 150 max type contest there as well.
- 18:18Speaker 3: Let's jump over here and let me refresh the stone
- 18:22Speaker 3: as we talk game by game. First game on the
- 18:25Speaker 3: main slate here. Is going to be, let me scroll down,
- 18:30Speaker 3: is going to be the Tigers and the Twins. Twins
- 18:32Speaker 3: continue to score a gazillion touchdowns against the Tigers pitching staff.
- 18:36Speaker 3: Now they get a guy in Drew Anderson who's not
- 18:38Speaker 3: going to go very long and get more of that bullpen,
- 18:41Speaker 3: which has absolutely gotten shellacked over the last couple days.
- 18:45Speaker 3: Used three arms yesterday, one on Monday, and they're not
- 18:48Speaker 3: a great bullpen either. I do think the Twins make
- 18:51Speaker 3: a lot of sense here on the slate. We don't
- 18:53Speaker 3: have a lineup yet, but Cody Clemens looks really good, Bell, Larnock.
- 18:56Speaker 3: You got Culpepper and Jenkins, two cheap young prospects there.
- 19:00Speaker 3: Not young prospect, Culpepper is, but Jenkins as well. They're
- 19:04Speaker 3: both obviously prospects there. They're super cheap there. Keyshaw is
- 19:07Speaker 3: more of a contact guy, but he'll get you stolen
- 19:09Speaker 3: base or two. I think one through nine firmly in play.
- 19:11Speaker 3: Jeffers being back does help. This dude's had two really
- 19:14Speaker 3: good games since being back. A couple home runs to
- 19:16Speaker 3: go with it as well. I think the Twins are
- 19:19Speaker 3: a pretty interesting sneaky stack on this slate overall. Don't
- 19:22Speaker 3: have them on the top of my board by any means,
- 19:24Speaker 3: but they're probably fourth-ish, somewhere in that range, third or
- 19:27Speaker 3: fourth among some of these other teams.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Talk to me here. How do you see this game,
- 19:31Speaker 1: Tigers and the Twins?
- 19:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Twins have been smashing the Tigers. Shitty,
- 19:36Speaker 4: you can get Kyle Finnegan in the game. I'd be
- 19:38Speaker 4: all over the Twins. That dude's rolling up beach balls
- 19:40Speaker 4: up to the plate. I mean, it's just absolutely terrible. But,
- 19:44Speaker 4: I mean, Drew Anderson in his past uh 30 days
- 19:46Speaker 4: is not looking especially with his control he's been all
- 19:49Speaker 4: over the damn place so uh that is definitely an
- 19:53Speaker 4: issue the barrel percentage uh he's been getting hit pretty
- 19:56Speaker 4: hard by lefties so you mentioned guy like cody clemens
- 19:59Speaker 4: varnock definitely in play so Yeah, that Tiger bullpen's just
- 20:04Speaker 4: been trash. And we mentioned yesterday, Tigers can't hit their
- 20:06Speaker 4: way out of a paper bag. I mean, I'd like
- 20:08Speaker 4: to have a little more faith in them here against
- 20:10Speaker 4: Dean Kramer. I think the Tigers are a pretty good
- 20:12Speaker 4: sneaky pivot off some of the more popular teams today.
- 20:17Speaker 4: I mean, the lefties especially is where I'd look at.
- 20:20Speaker 4: Dylan Dingler, I wish he'd get his head out of
- 20:21Speaker 4: his ass. He's got his head up, is Dingler.
- 20:24Speaker 2: That's for sure.
- 20:24Speaker 4: He hasn't been hitting very well in the last recent times,
- 20:28Speaker 4: but I do like the top of that line of,
- 20:30Speaker 4: especially McGonigal against Kramer. So I do prefer the twins
- 20:34Speaker 4: just because the Tigers seem like they mailed it in.
- 20:36Speaker 4: Like they just, they're not with it. I mean, you
- 20:39Speaker 4: see it quite a bit over time with, when you're
- 20:41Speaker 4: watching up baseball, they get to September, they're already ready.
- 20:45Speaker 4: You know, what am I doing next year? What's going
- 20:47Speaker 4: on in the off season? Like these guys just can't
- 20:49Speaker 4: wait to wind it down and get it over with.
- 20:51Speaker 4: I mean, they're pretty much in last damn place. So, Yeah,
- 20:54Speaker 4: I think the Twins, for me, I mean, shit. I mean,
- 20:57Speaker 4: you kind of called it yesterday. I didn't get another
- 20:59Speaker 4: position player as possible. We could see that again today.
- 21:02Speaker 2: So who knows?
- 21:03Speaker 4: I mean, the Twins have been just absolutely smoking these Tigers.
- 21:06Speaker 4: But I don't have the Twins. Either one of them
- 21:10Speaker 4: ranked up in my favorites. But I wouldn't discount the Twins.
- 21:14Speaker 4: I'd put the Twins probably in my top three, I
- 21:18Speaker 4: would say, here today.
- 21:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you there. I do like the Twins
- 21:22Speaker 3: quite a bit. Cody Clemens would be the headline there.
- 21:25Speaker 3: I'm just trying to see what the Tigers have done.
- 21:28Speaker 3: I mean, it kind of depends on how many innings
- 21:32Speaker 3: Anderson can get. You're looking at five maximum. Typically, he's
- 21:36Speaker 3: going right around three to four, somewhere in that regard.
- 21:39Speaker 3: In his last start against the Dodgers, they brought in
- 21:42Speaker 3: Phillips– or not Phillips, Somers after him and then Holton. So, yeah,
- 21:47Speaker 3: it's going to be kind of like a makeshift– bullpen
- 21:50Speaker 3: game here, so I wouldn't get too caught off on
- 21:53Speaker 3: the handedness there for the Twins. It's just more of
- 21:56Speaker 3: they're hot right now. It's pretty good weather again here
- 21:58Speaker 3: tonight in Target Field, and the Tigers pitching staff is
- 22:02Speaker 3: pretty beat up, so I do think the Twins make
- 22:04Speaker 3: a lot of sense here on tonight's slate. Tigers, it
- 22:08Speaker 3: would just be Colt Keith and Magango for me. I
- 22:11Speaker 3: think those two guys are good.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Interesting.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Riley Green has a bunch of power, but I don't
- 22:16Speaker 3: really want to pick his off and I'm getting the
- 22:18Speaker 3: twins lower on than the tiger. So I just rather
- 22:20Speaker 3: play the twin side of the game than the tigers
- 22:23Speaker 3: and just not.
- 22:23Speaker 1: Mess with it. Overall is kind of how I see it.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Next spot. Royal is Marlins.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Marlins, the chalk of the slate again, because of their
- 22:30Speaker 3: price points, we have spent a pitching Marlins five stack.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Easily being able to be afforded here.
- 22:37Speaker 3: It's 102 degrees in Kansas city, pretty much going to
- 22:40Speaker 3: be 95 plus the entire duration of the game. Eight
- 22:43Speaker 3: to 15 mile an hour winds blown out towards left
- 22:46Speaker 3: foul pole line. Dry run spit out 98% Miami Marlins stacks.
- 22:52Speaker 3: They scored six runs yesterday, was nowhere near the winner.
- 22:56Speaker 3: You weren't mad if you had them, but again, I'm
- 22:59Speaker 3: going to take an underweight approach. I like Noah Cameron
- 23:01Speaker 3: quite a bit. You got some pinch hit risk with
- 23:04Speaker 3: some of these Marlins here against the lefty Ramirez, Sanoa.
- 23:09Speaker 3: Those two guys, Jimenez, probably a little pinch hit risk
- 23:11Speaker 3: as well. Ruiz, their catcher as well has some pinch
- 23:16Speaker 3: hit risk there. I know the Royals bullpen is atrocious.
- 23:20Speaker 3: I'm going to fade the Marlins here tonight. That's just
- 23:22Speaker 3: the approach I'm going to take. I think Adel Lopez
- 23:25Speaker 3: is a pretty interesting play. I think he'd be my
- 23:28Speaker 3: favorite guy if going in there, but I do like
- 23:30Speaker 3: the Royals side here. I much prefer the Royals-Baths. They're
- 23:33Speaker 3: going to get owned as well, but nothing near what
- 23:36Speaker 3: the Marlins side is, and Carter Jensen looks good, Cagliano,
- 23:40Speaker 3: Vinny P. The issue with Uri Perez is, yeah, he
- 23:43Speaker 3: has the strikeout stuff, but his command issues have started
- 23:45Speaker 3: to come back. And anytime you have that against the
- 23:49Speaker 3: Royals here, who can be a patient offense, and you
- 23:51Speaker 3: get into that Miami bullpen, which isn't very good, I mean,
- 23:54Speaker 3: I love full stacking against a pitcher with command issues
- 23:57Speaker 3: because it leads to big innings. That's what we're targeting
- 23:59Speaker 3: for DFS. So I do think the Royals in tournaments
- 24:01Speaker 3: here are super interesting overall, and I much prefer the
- 24:04Speaker 3: Royals side to the Marlins.
- 24:05Speaker 1: How do you see this one?
- 24:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the Marlins.
- 24:10Speaker 4: It's just hard for me to get too excited about
- 24:14Speaker 4: the Marlins against Cameron. I mean, Cameron's strikeout percentage has
- 24:17Speaker 4: been down a little bit. It's just he hasn't been
- 24:19Speaker 4: getting barreled up. He hasn't been getting hit really.
- 24:21Speaker 2: All that hard.
- 24:22Speaker 4: His fly ball percentage has been up a little bit
- 24:24Speaker 4: to the left side. But, I mean, he's going to
- 24:26Speaker 4: see a bunch of righties. over there with the Marlins.
- 24:28Speaker 2: But, yeah, I'm not too overly excited about it. I
- 24:32Speaker 2: know Stowers hit a home run for me yesterday. I
- 24:34Speaker 2: had him in on a couple teams.
- 24:36Speaker 4: As far as the Royals go, yeah, you mentioned Uri
- 24:39Speaker 4: Perez's walk issues have definitely been a problem, especially the
- 24:43Speaker 4: last 30 days.
- 24:43Speaker 2: He's not looked very good at all.
- 24:46Speaker 4: The problem I'm kind of having here with this is
- 24:49Speaker 4: it's the Royals. We know they don't have generally that
- 24:51Speaker 4: much power, and we got a ground ball pitcher on
- 24:53Speaker 4: the Hill. I mean, he's 48% the last 30 days
- 24:58Speaker 4: to the left side, 40% to the right side.
- 25:00Speaker 2: His fly ball percentages are fairly low. He's at 20%
- 25:02Speaker 2: to the right side, 25% to the left.
- 25:04Speaker 1: I mean.
- 25:07Speaker 4: I think I'd rather go look for better opportunities than
- 25:10Speaker 4: the Royals against the guy who's got a ground ball lean. So,
- 25:14Speaker 4: I mean, he's walking a lot of guys, so it's
- 25:16Speaker 4: not something, I mean, that's the big knock on him.
- 25:20Speaker 4: It's not like he's getting hit very hard. So I'm
- 25:22Speaker 4: a little concerned about the Royals. I just don't, I mean,
- 25:25Speaker 4: if it was like the Yankees, I think I'd feel
- 25:27Speaker 4: a little bit better and want to attack Uri Perez,
- 25:29Speaker 4: but I'm not doing it with the Royals, but Bobby
- 25:31Speaker 4: Witt is an excellent play.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Maybe if you want to go to Caglione.
- 25:35Speaker 4: But other than that, I think Bobby Witt would be
- 25:37Speaker 4: really the only one I'd go at.
- 25:39Speaker 2: I'd let everybody else play the Royals today. I'd be out.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Yeah, we definitely differ there. I do like the Royals
- 25:44Speaker 1: quite a bit.
- 25:45Speaker 3: Offense is pretty thin on the slate in general outside
- 25:47Speaker 3: of the Chalk Marlins and the Dodgers. So I'm looking
- 25:51Speaker 3: for other teams that can compete there. Dodgers been fairly
- 25:53Speaker 3: cold as of late as well. And I don't like
- 25:56Speaker 3: playing the fish into chalk. against a pitcher that I
- 25:59Speaker 3: have some confidence in, in Noah Cameron there. So I
- 26:02Speaker 3: do think the Royals are pretty interesting plays overall. Ownership
- 26:06Speaker 3: should be held in check. Vinny P looks great. Cagley Nolan, Massey, Jensen, Witt,
- 26:10Speaker 3: even Isbell has been hitting pretty decent as of late.
- 26:12Speaker 1: So that's six guys right there.
- 26:14Speaker 3: I think you can play and obviously you can play
- 26:17Speaker 3: some of the other guys as well in their rave
- 26:19Speaker 3: and Isbell, like I said, at the back half. So
- 26:22Speaker 3: I do think they're pretty interesting overall. Marlins bullpen, pretty text.
- 26:26Speaker 3: They used Four arms on Sunday, four on Monday, three yesterday.
- 26:31Speaker 3: So they're pretty beat up too, which does help the
- 26:34Speaker 3: case there. Takes us to Wrigley. I'm going to be
- 26:37Speaker 3: super hot and humid here in Wrigley. Should play definitely
- 26:40Speaker 3: above average. Wind blowing out here again. Nothing crazy like
- 26:43Speaker 3: it has, but any little wind is big time effect here.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Going to be a good home run park for sure here.
- 26:50Speaker 3: 90 degrees, wind blowing out at around 10 miles an hour.
- 26:53Speaker 3: Gusts higher than that. Got to love some Brewers here tonight.
- 26:58Speaker 3: I think they're one of the best plays on the slate.
- 27:00Speaker 3: They are expensive, so it's going to hold their ownership
- 27:03Speaker 3: in check a little bit. But Cooper Pratt's been hitting
- 27:05Speaker 3: well at the back half. Don't sleep on Joey Ortiz.
- 27:08Speaker 3: That dude murders left-handed pitching. Andrew Vaughn, Gary Sanchez. So
- 27:11Speaker 3: I actually like the back half of the Brewers lineup. Vaughn, Sanchez, Ortiz, Lara, Pratt,
- 27:16Speaker 3: Churrio are kind of my main favorite guys from the Brewers. Bowers,
- 27:22Speaker 3: if he's in there, Contreras, Terang, they're all great plays here.
- 27:25Speaker 3: They're going to be owned on this slate, but pretty
- 27:27Speaker 3: much everyone's going to be owned because it is only
- 27:28Speaker 3: a six-game slate. Locked in for nine here against David Peterson,
- 27:31Speaker 3: who's terrible. Talk to me here, Brewers, Cubs, any interest
- 27:35Speaker 3: in Wrigley, best hitting environment? I actually might be the–
- 27:39Speaker 3: I think it's the best overall, but it's close between
- 27:41Speaker 3: this and Kauffman. But really good place to hit nonetheless.
- 27:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, for me, I mean, the Brewers, I
- 27:49Speaker 4: want to pick on Peterson. He's just got too big
- 27:51Speaker 4: of a ground ball lean for me. And you look
- 27:53Speaker 4: at his game log, he really hasn't given up any
- 27:55Speaker 4: more than three runs in his last, I don't know,
- 27:57Speaker 4: like 10 starts or so. He hasn't been getting hit
- 27:59Speaker 4: hard at all. So whenever I'm in a situation like this,
- 28:03Speaker 4: even though as tempting as it is, I generally stay.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Away from the Brewers in this situation.
- 28:08Speaker 4: I guess I'd be all or nothing and just full
- 28:10Speaker 4: five stack it and just hope that, you know, the
- 28:12Speaker 4: weather kicks in and get into that bullpen.
- 28:15Speaker 2: But I mean, the.
- 28:16Speaker 4: Last 30 days to Peterson does have some walk issues
- 28:18Speaker 4: to the right side. He's at a 14 percent walk rate.
- 28:21Speaker 4: But I mean, fly ball percentages, 17 percent to the
- 28:24Speaker 4: left side, 14 percent to the right side. He's just
- 28:27Speaker 4: not allowing the ball to get up in the air.
- 28:29Speaker 4: So that is definitely concerning. Now, you know, I don't
- 28:33Speaker 4: think there's any teams tonight that, you know, I mean,
- 28:36Speaker 4: other than the Twins, maybe they could put up a
- 28:38Speaker 4: double digit score here tonight. I mean, if you get
- 28:40Speaker 4: a bunch of the six games and, you know, you
- 28:43Speaker 4: got five or six runs, you know, and you want
- 28:46Speaker 4: to look at it that way overall as a slate
- 28:48Speaker 4: and maybe the Brew crew can put up a few
- 28:50Speaker 4: more hits. You know, they obviously we know they steal
- 28:52Speaker 4: some bags. But, uh, yeah, I mean, it's just tough
- 28:55Speaker 4: for me to buy into the brew crew, especially when
- 28:58Speaker 4: they got a pitcher that isn't giving up any kind
- 29:00Speaker 4: of fly ball. So that's a little bit concerning for me.
- 29:03Speaker 4: I don't want to pick on Ms. On the other
- 29:04Speaker 4: side of that, as I mentioned, if you were going
- 29:06Speaker 4: to at the top of the show, I think PCA Bush,
- 29:09Speaker 4: some of the lefties would we, uh, where I'd be
- 29:11Speaker 4: looking at, but, uh, I'm just going to lay a
- 29:14Speaker 4: little caution on the brew crew as I normally do
- 29:17Speaker 4: when they have such a ground ball in. And he's
- 29:20Speaker 4: just not giving up enough fly balls for me. I mean,
- 29:22Speaker 4: like I said, I think I just full stack it
- 29:24Speaker 4: or I just.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Leave it alone.
- 29:27Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how I play the Brewers anyways, just because
- 29:29Speaker 3: it's hard to kind of understand where the production is
- 29:33Speaker 3: going to come from.
- 29:34Speaker 1: But I like that the back half isn't going to
- 29:35Speaker 1: get played.
- 29:37Speaker 3: Um joey ortiz has been good lara pratt i like
- 29:39Speaker 3: those guys vaughn sanchez so i actually like five through
- 29:41Speaker 3: nine quite a bit churrio looks like one of the
- 29:44Speaker 3: better plays in the slate as well so we do
- 29:45Speaker 3: differ there um cubs i tend to agree there you're
- 29:48Speaker 3: going to get the cubs on own um it's just
- 29:51Speaker 3: i'd rather probably just not play ms than stack up
- 29:53Speaker 3: the cubs it is a short slate anything can happen
- 29:55Speaker 3: it's baseball at the end of the day i could
- 29:57Speaker 3: see them get there, but, uh, it's brewers or pass
- 30:00Speaker 3: for me in that game for sure. Takes us to
- 30:03Speaker 3: the next game. It was my favorite stack yesterday. Um,
- 30:06Speaker 3: they hit four or five balls to the warning track,
- 30:09Speaker 3: which was very hurtful. Um, and still had a pretty
- 30:12Speaker 3: solid day. White Sox now get Hayden Wesneski. Who's been
- 30:15Speaker 3: better as of late. I still don't think he's a
- 30:17Speaker 3: very good arm. Um, the Astros use two righties out
- 30:21Speaker 3: of the pen yesterday and am I, and, um, their
- 30:26Speaker 3: other guy who's thrown starts for them this year as well.
- 30:30Speaker 1: In my end, what's his face? One second.
- 30:34Speaker 2: Tang.
- 30:35Speaker 3: So you're probably going to see those lefties be available here,
- 30:38Speaker 3: which does add in some pinch hit risk for some
- 30:41Speaker 3: of these White Sox. The main guys that get pinch
- 30:43Speaker 3: hit for is Ben Attendee, number one, and then probably
- 30:47Speaker 3: Tristan Peters as well. But the rest of this lineup
- 30:50Speaker 3: looks really good. I think those guys are even pretty
- 30:53Speaker 3: interesting in this one. I think the White Sox are
- 30:57Speaker 3: super sneaky on this slate. Nobody's going to play them.
- 30:59Speaker 3: They've got a ton of power against any right-handed pitcher.
- 31:01Speaker 3: Wes Neskey, I think, is pitching over his head as
- 31:03Speaker 3: of late. I love some White Sox. And then on
- 31:06Speaker 3: the other side, Davis Martin's been absolutely atrocious over the
- 31:09Speaker 3: last month.
- 31:11Speaker 1: He doesn't look like he's right.
- 31:13Speaker 3: This Astros team's also going to fly under the radar
- 31:16Speaker 3: for the most part compared to the.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Brewers, Dodgers, Marlins.
- 31:21Speaker 3: I think the Astros are interesting as well here in
- 31:23Speaker 3: this one. I love offense in this game.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Talk to me. How do you see this one?
- 31:28Speaker 4: Yeah, Martin's been struggling quite a bit, especially his last
- 31:31Speaker 4: 30 days. I've been kind of reading in some, I
- 31:33Speaker 4: remember hearing that last week or two, he's been dealing
- 31:35Speaker 4: with some blister issues that have been nagging him.
- 31:40Speaker 2: That's definitely a play.
- 31:40Speaker 4: I mean, his K percentages are down the last 30 days.
- 31:43Speaker 4: You mentioned he's been getting barreled up by both sides
- 31:45Speaker 4: of the plate. I mean, it's not been good here,
- 31:49Speaker 4: especially the left side. He's got a 192 ISO, a
- 31:53Speaker 4: 335 WOBA against lefty. So, I mean, we know Superman
- 31:56Speaker 4: Jordan is definitely in play. Varshow is in play. Christian Walker,
- 32:02Speaker 4: I think that you definitely could get at Davis Martin
- 32:06Speaker 4: here today. And as far as the White Sox go,
- 32:08Speaker 4: I do like some lefties against Wisniewski. I mean, this guy,
- 32:12Speaker 4: I mean, he's got an 11% burrow rate on the season.
- 32:15Speaker 4: It's down a little bit the last 30 days. He's
- 32:17Speaker 4: actually been getting whacked a little bit harder here by
- 32:19Speaker 4: righties in recent time. So, I mean, we know that
- 32:23Speaker 4: the White Sox are full of power. They're definitely a
- 32:26Speaker 4: team that, you know, I like to play in situations
- 32:29Speaker 4: to where they're not very chalky. And this would definitely
- 32:33Speaker 4: qualify as one. You mentioned the lefties, Ben Attendee, Peters.
- 32:37Speaker 4: I think those guys, as you mentioned, could be some
- 32:38Speaker 4: pinch hit risk. But Murakami, I mean, I think they're
- 32:42Speaker 4: all here in play. I think I'd have the White
- 32:44Speaker 4: Sox up as one of my favorite stacks here today.
- 32:48Speaker 2: That's for sure. I mean, they're up there.
- 32:49Speaker 4: I'd put them, you know, like I got like the Twins,
- 32:53Speaker 4: I think would be up there with the White Sox.
- 32:55Speaker 4: We'll get to the Dodgers. I think they're in play.
- 32:58Speaker 4: But yeah, I think for sure. White Sox for me,
- 33:00Speaker 4: especially them lefties.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I like both sides quite a bit. These are
- 33:04Speaker 3: two of my favorite offenses. In tournaments, I have them
- 33:07Speaker 3: both ahead of the Marlins. I have them kind of
- 33:10Speaker 3: up there next to the Twins and the Brewers. So
- 33:13Speaker 3: I'm kind of focusing around those four teams mainly. And
- 33:16Speaker 3: then we're going to talk about the Dodgers here in
- 33:18Speaker 3: a little bit. I think they're interesting as well. I'm
- 33:20Speaker 3: a little worried about their ownership, but they get a
- 33:23Speaker 3: pretty bad lefty going here tonight. Yankees got the job
- 33:27Speaker 3: done last night against a chalk guy in Grayson Rodriguez.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Much better pitcher on the mound here at Reed Detmers.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Yankees always have upside.
- 33:34Speaker 3: I like them much more against a right-handed pitcher than
- 33:37Speaker 3: a left-handed pitcher. And a good one at that, you're
- 33:40Speaker 3: going to see a bunch of pinch-hit risk guys in
- 33:42Speaker 3: here like Ahmad Rosario, Heliot Ramos, Caballero, Ali Sanchez. If
- 33:48Speaker 3: he makes the start, those guys are all big pinch-hit
- 33:50Speaker 3: risks here. And Reed Detmers is pretty solid. I guess
- 33:53Speaker 3: the Yankees could do it. I'm not going to play
- 33:55Speaker 3: him here tonight. and some of their guys are going
- 33:57Speaker 3: to get ownership, like Ahmed Rosario at 2,900, hitting at
- 34:01Speaker 3: third base, which is a weak position. He's probably looking
- 34:04Speaker 3: at two at-bats, maybe three at most. Ramos, same thing.
- 34:09Speaker 3: He's going to get played a decent amount just because
- 34:12Speaker 3: he's going to hit in the middle of that lineup
- 34:14Speaker 3: for 3,700. Angels against Cam Schlittler would be kind of
- 34:18Speaker 3: the– I mean, they're the leverage stack on the slate here.
- 34:22Speaker 3: Schlittler– Really good arm. I don't really want to stack
- 34:25Speaker 3: up against him. So this game for offense-wise, I'm kind
- 34:28Speaker 3: of out on here. Wouldn't be shocked. I mean, Angels
- 34:31Speaker 3: is the biggest leverage play on the slate. Don't really
- 34:34Speaker 3: think you need to go there, but six-game slate, crazy
- 34:37Speaker 3: shit happens. It's September baseball. How do you see this one?
- 34:40Speaker 2: I mean, if you wanted to pick on Schlittler, you
- 34:43Speaker 2: got to use some lefties.
- 34:45Speaker 4: I mean, the Angels just don't even have any lefties
- 34:47Speaker 4: worth really even discussing to go after a guy like Schlittler.
- 34:51Speaker 2: But, I mean, he's been walking, guys, like we mentioned.
- 34:54Speaker 4: But, I mean, he's been getting barreled up to the
- 34:55Speaker 4: last 30 days at 11% by lefties.
- 34:58Speaker 2: So, if you wanted to go there, I think that
- 35:03Speaker 2: is where I'd look.
- 35:04Speaker 4: Now, as far as the Yankees go against Detmers, we
- 35:07Speaker 4: know they're going to get a little bit of ownership.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Detmers is going to get a little bit of ownership.
- 35:11Speaker 4: I mean– I think Goldschmidt, the top of that lineup,
- 35:14Speaker 4: is a really good play against Detmers. But as you mentioned, Rosario, Ramos, Calabro,
- 35:21Speaker 4: those guys are definitely pinch hit risk. But, yeah, I
- 35:24Speaker 4: think Goldschmidt's a great play, especially as a one-off if
- 35:27Speaker 4: you wanted to go there, especially get a little bit
- 35:28Speaker 4: of leverage.
- 35:29Speaker 2: So that's pretty much where I'd look at.
- 35:31Speaker 4: I wish, you know, if you wanted to attack a Chalkier, Schlittler,
- 35:34Speaker 4: you know, I'd like a team that has a little
- 35:36Speaker 4: bit better lefties, and the Angels just don't qualify for that.
- 35:39Speaker 2: So I'd be out.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree there.
- 35:43Speaker 3: I do think Goldschmidt's a pretty interesting play at first base.
- 35:46Speaker 3: If you're kind of going a pivot off of Detmers,
- 35:50Speaker 3: maybe that's where you play like a Noah Cameron and
- 35:52Speaker 3: then you one-off like a Paul Goldschmidt and then go
- 35:55Speaker 3: elsewhere there. You're kind of double leveraging the situation in
- 35:58Speaker 3: terms of roster construction. Most people are playing Schlittler and
- 36:02Speaker 3: Detmers together. You're not playing Detmers, you're playing Cameron. So
- 36:05Speaker 3: you're over that. How do you eat into Detmers? You
- 36:07Speaker 3: play Paul Goldschmidt. Things like that make a ton of sense,
- 36:10Speaker 3: so I'm with you there if he does crack the lineup.
- 36:13Speaker 3: Last game of the slate, going to be a bullpen
- 36:14Speaker 3: game mainly here for the Cardinals. They're going to bring
- 36:16Speaker 3: out this Bryce character here, or Bryson. Does throw from
- 36:21Speaker 3: the left side. You're probably going to get two or
- 36:22Speaker 3: three innings out of him, and then it's going to
- 36:24Speaker 3: be a bunch of righties typically coming out of that
- 36:26Speaker 3: bullpen there. Dodgers look really good on paper. It's going
- 36:31Speaker 3: to be between them and the Marlins. You're going to
- 36:33Speaker 3: see a lot of Dodgers players. and Marlins teams mixed
- 36:36Speaker 3: together with Schlittler and Yamamoto because it fits.
- 36:40Speaker 1: So, you know what the chalk is going in. It's
- 36:41Speaker 1: the Dodgers. It's the Marlins.
- 36:43Speaker 3: Dodgers look really good on paper. Cardinals bullpen is not good.
- 36:46Speaker 3: They're not equipped to face a really good offense. Like
- 36:49Speaker 3: the Dodgers who are getting healthy as well. Uh, you
- 36:51Speaker 3: should see one of the better Dodgers lineups we've seen
- 36:53Speaker 3: in quite some time. Will Smith being back helps a ton.
- 36:56Speaker 3: I saw they also activated rushing yesterday too. So you
- 36:59Speaker 3: might see both of those guys in there instead of
- 37:01Speaker 3: guys like Miguel Rojas and Kiki Hernandez. Um, with Mott's
- 37:06Speaker 3: only probably going an inning or two, maybe three at max.
- 37:09Speaker 3: I don't know if Kiki's going to get the start.
- 37:11Speaker 3: If he does, he probably might hit up. He might
- 37:13Speaker 3: hit up towards the top of that lineup. I think
- 37:15Speaker 3: he'd be a fine play, but he's a big pinch
- 37:16Speaker 3: hit risk. Same thing with Rojas. Talk to me here
- 37:19Speaker 3: at Dodgers to round up the slate.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Look like one of the top stacks on paper. I
- 37:22Speaker 1: am a little worried.
- 37:23Speaker 3: I do put the Brewers ahead of them. I do
- 37:25Speaker 3: have some of these other teams ahead of them as well.
- 37:28Speaker 3: I'm going to kind of take an underweight approach on
- 37:29Speaker 3: the Marlins and the Dodgers here tonight and take my
- 37:31Speaker 3: chances that way because I am eating.
- 37:33Speaker 1: The chalk pitching overall.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Yeah. Dodgers definitely. I mean that St. Louis bullpen sucks.
- 37:40Speaker 4: So, I mean, they're, they're definitely going to get beat
- 37:43Speaker 4: up a little bit there. So I do like the Dodgers. They're,
- 37:45Speaker 4: they're my favorite stack. You mentioned they're going to be
- 37:47Speaker 4: a little bit chalky. So definitely like the Dodgers all
- 37:52Speaker 4: the way up and down, as far as anybody against Yamamoto.
- 37:55Speaker 4: I mean, if you didn't want to play him and
- 37:57Speaker 4: maybe Burleson would be a guy that you could look
- 37:59Speaker 4: at against him. But for me, Dodger's, one of the
- 38:03Speaker 4: best plays on the slate. I mean, obviously that St.
- 38:05Speaker 4: Louis bullpen is not very good. I mean, and two
- 38:08Speaker 4: overall on the slate, I don't even think we have
- 38:10Speaker 4: a team as a team total over five, the Dodgers
- 38:13Speaker 4: are sitting there right under at 4.9. So it's not like,
- 38:16Speaker 4: you know, the Dodgers are overwhelmingly favorites. So I wouldn't
- 38:19Speaker 4: feel like too worried about fading the Dodgers here today.
- 38:22Speaker 4: I kind of got a feeling of these six games.
- 38:24Speaker 4: You're not going to see a game that overwhelms any
- 38:27Speaker 4: of them. I think you're going to see a bunch of,
- 38:29Speaker 4: you know, five run, six run games possibly.
- 38:32Speaker 2: So if that's the case, I don't mind.
- 38:35Speaker 4: Like I said before, on these slates and aids, when
- 38:37Speaker 4: you got like five, six games, like not necessarily doing
- 38:40Speaker 4: the traditional stacking, maybe three, three, two, or, you know,
- 38:44Speaker 4: a four, and then maybe throw in, you know, three
- 38:47Speaker 4: or four different one-offs from other teams with some power upside.
- 38:50Speaker 4: I think that's a way to potentially get a little
- 38:52Speaker 4: bit different on these shorter slates. It's generally, I'm a
- 38:55Speaker 4: little more apt to do something like that. But, yeah,
- 38:58Speaker 4: interesting slate of baseball. We got some decent pitching up top.
- 39:01Speaker 4: So we'll see how we fare today.
- 39:03Speaker 2: But I feel pretty good where we're looking at.
- 39:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel pretty good as well. Takes us to
- 39:11Speaker 3: the end of the show here. Your top three pitchers,
- 39:13Speaker 3: your top three stacks, and a homerun call if you
- 39:15Speaker 3: have one, and then we'll get out of here.
- 39:16Speaker 4: I'm going to say my pitchers are going to be
- 39:20Speaker 4: definitely Yamamoto, Schlittler, Detmers, and then I got Miz up there, Stacks, Yankee.
- 39:27Speaker 2: I'm going to go Twins, Dodgers, and then I'm going
- 39:31Speaker 2: to go White Sox, and then I'd probably go Brew Crew.
- 39:34Speaker 2: I just don't like the Brew Crew. I'd throw the
- 39:36Speaker 2: Astros in there too. Home run call.
- 39:40Speaker 4: I am going to go to the White Sox, and
- 39:46Speaker 4: I am going.
- 39:47Speaker 2: To go– I'm going to go with Murakami again. I
- 39:51Speaker 2: think Murakami hits a bomb. All right. I like it.
- 39:55Speaker 1: I'm going to go Yamamoto, number one.
- 39:57Speaker 2: Miz, two.
- 39:58Speaker 3: I'll go Cameron, three. For stacks, I will go White Sox, Astros, Brewers, Royals.
- 40:08Speaker 3: Those four twins would be the fifth team. For my
- 40:12Speaker 3: home run call, I'm going to go to the Brewers.
- 40:14Speaker 3: I'm going to go to a guy hitting at the
- 40:16Speaker 3: back half.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Hit one yesterday.
- 40:17Speaker 3: I think he hits another one here today. Joey Ortiz, 3,300,
- 40:21Speaker 3: third base, shortstop eligible. He's been one of the better
- 40:24Speaker 3: hitters for the Brewers against left-handed pitching over the last
- 40:27Speaker 3: month and a half or so. I think he's a
- 40:29Speaker 3: really interesting unowned play in that stack.
- 40:33Speaker 2: For G.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Rison, I'm Nades. Good luck tonight in those contests. G.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Rison will be back tomorrow.
- 40:38Speaker 3: I will see you guys next week, Tuesday, with the
- 40:41Speaker 3: Labor Day holiday on Monday.
- 40:44Speaker 1: We'll see you guys next time.
- 40:45Speaker 2: We're out of here.
- 40:45Speaker 1: Peace.
