  Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff. What is going on,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Ship It Nation YouTube station? We are back with the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: final edition of the MLB show for Friday. Matt, it's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: been a long season. We got one week left in
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the season. I will not be here next Friday, so
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that's why I say it's our last Friday show. I'll
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: be in Yankee Stadium taking the Yankees game in next Friday,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: but man, it's been a great season. Appreciate everybody tuning in,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: but how's your week going?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: What's going on, my man?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Nothing, bro.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Always happy to be doing these Friday shows with you.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: End of the week. We got big contests tonight on DK,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: which is always fun. So, yeah, we got a bunch
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: of good spots to talk over. It should be a
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: fun slate. Over, under, I'm making you laugh. I'm going
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: to put at four.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That doesn't take much.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: It already happened one. That was it right there. So
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: we got one out of the way. That's why I
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: did four instead of three.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Because I knew that would happen.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, no, I love it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: I love doing these shows with you. I hate that
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: it's our last Friday show, but I love our Sunday show.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: So excited for that. And, uh, yeah, man, NFL season
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: should be a really fun week to get contrarian. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: we'll be talking all about it on our contrarian construction show.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I was going to make a joke about
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: it Sunday and I will again, but the, the, the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: over under on my internet work.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It is probably not trending well for me. So we
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: need to get Ham's internet.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Working on Sunday. Then we'll be rolling. But yeah, uh,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: We got some exciting contests. We got the 8-8-8 over
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: on DraftKings. And FanDuel even put a 5-5-5 up there
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: as well. 30K up top on FanDuel. 100K up top
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: over on DraftKings. Both sites have all 13 games. So
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: we're going to break them all down. We're going to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: go game by game like we do each and every
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Friday night. Do us a favor as you're coming in.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Hit that like. Hit that subscribe button. And if you
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: are a member over at The Nation, head on over
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: there now. You can get in there in the Discord
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: five days for $ 19. Check out my guy Bellman. who
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: actually had a shipper on Monday night, shipped the– it
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: was Monday, right? Shipped the contest on Monday. Was it
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: this past Monday? It was. Yeah. Monday, I text Bellman.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Bellman pulled a hand, was asleep, thought he was a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: half a million dollars richer, and he chopped it about
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: 48 ways. So, my apologies.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Especially for you to text me, too, in all caps,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and you're only playing Fandle. I was like, oh, my God,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: because I played Fandle that night. Yeah.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was still a good night, obviously. So, we're happy.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: We'll take it. Hopefully, we have even better nights in
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the coming days and today.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So, I love this MLB slate. Yeah, well, I got
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: my pen. I got my pad. I'm taking all the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: notes down. So, Matt, give us all the winners like
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you do each and every Friday night. 13 games, we're
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: going to break it all down. First game up on
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the slate is Nades' Milwaukee Brewers taking on the Orioles.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Dustin may take it on Mari Povich and crew for
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: that Orioles, Pete Alonzo handing out beers, hitting bombs, doing
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it all in New York, but talk to me a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: little bit about this game. You got Milwaukee facing on
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the Orioles back in Camden yards.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: So a lot of good offensive spots today. The first
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: thing for me in this game is going to be
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Dustin may.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: In play against Baltimore.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: You know, they're, Okay, and they've got upside with their power,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: but they're also a team to pick on. They strike
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: out a lot. I think he's in play at 7,500.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Then there's good pitching on this slate, but also bats
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: that we want. So I think May is really the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: only piece of this game I'm looking hard at.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: How about you?
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Is there anything offensively that's really standing out? I guess,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: you know, Milwaukee against Povich. They don't hit a lot
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of home runs, but on the road, good spot for them.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: It's not like Povich is a guy we're afraid to
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: pick on. There's just so many other offensive spots I like.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: How do you see this game?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't love it. I don't like Cannon Yards
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: for righties, right? I think that's where righties go to die. And,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you know, you have Pete Alonzo, you have Jackson Churrio,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: some of the better hitters. Obviously, you got some good
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: lefties as well, but I don't think I'm going to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: get there. I got May coming in as our fourth
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: highest zone pitcher, and I don't love, not that he's chalk,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: but a chalkier May player.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I don't necessarily love.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: He is coming off a 27-point performance when they put
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: up three touchdowns in their last game, won 20 to nothing.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: But, you know, you're going to need a cheap pitcher.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And, Matt, we're going to talk about a cheap pitcher
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that you and I both know and love as we
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: get on into this show. But I don't love this
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: game from either side. Obviously, the Brewers can do it
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: by Dinkin' and Dunkin'. And if they put up 20
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: runs again, you're going to want to need them.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, I don't love this game. You like me
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a little bit. So, yeah, we'll just leave it at that.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: What do you mean by that, cheap pitcher we both
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: know and love? Don't do it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: No, later.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: No, I was just making sure. Yeah, he's on the slate.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: We're going to get to him. I wouldn't say we
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: love him. We both know him, though.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Let me just see. Yeah, I don't love anything.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: How are the Brewers versus left-handed pitching? Let me ask
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you that.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, they got guys like, you know, this is
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: a good spot for Milwaukee. On a lot of slates,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: they would stand out more to me. I do think
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: that they fall through the cracks a little bit just
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: because of Seattle, obviously going to get a ton of love,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: as they should. Dodgers will get love. Cleveland will go
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: out like a lot. I mean, there's good spots on
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: this slate. So, I don't think we'll– Go ahead.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I was going to go to the next game, but
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I was pretty much done anyways.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, segue into the Cleveland Guardians, who suddenly
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: overtook first place the other day, 6-3 with your boy
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Parker Messick on the hill. Now they get this Oakland
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Athletics team coming into town. Mason Barnett taking on Joey Cantillo.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Guardians going to be.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Playoff baseball in Cleveland this year, Matt.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Excited to see that. This Athletics lineup looks like they
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: got Shagling Lears back, which is nice. The Law Dogs
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: batting third. Henry Bolte's been surprisingly good.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Zach Giloff. This lineup isn't as bad as it's been
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: in the past, but it's still not very good.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Taking on this Guardians team, I think Jose Ramirez is
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: going to get a lot of ownership tonight. But talk
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to me a little bit about this game, this new-look
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Guardians team taking on the Athletics. Yeah, I like Cleveland
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a lot here.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Good spot for them coming off a big series win
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: against the White Sox. I hate that Jose Ramirez, if
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: he's going to be really chalky, that is no bueno
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: to me because– He's had like one home run in
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the past few months. That handmade bone injury has really
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: zapped his power. He still runs and he looks better
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: right now than he has in a while. So I
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: like him in stacks, but as a one-off I'm out there,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: but I like Cleveland in a stack for sure. They've
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: been good to me when I played them. I like
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: them here. They're in a really good spot. They need wins.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: They're tied with the White Sox right now in the central.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: The White Sox have the tiebreaker though. So they got
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to sweep this series. You never expect that in baseball,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: but they need a sweep in order to kind of
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: maintain and overpass the White Sox and be a game
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: ahead of them, in my opinion. So hopefully they take
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: care of business here. I like their offense. And then
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: on the other side, I think Cantillo is in play here.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: He looked good coming out of the pen last time out,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: a bunch of Ks. Yeah, the A's lineup looks a
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: little bit better, and I think you can play pieces
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: of this lineup, but Cantillo at 7,500, I think he
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: looks comparable to May, quite frankly. Big strikeout upside in
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: this matchup. But on the same token, I do think
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: one-offs of, you mentioned them, Langoliers, Galoff are in play,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Langoliers mostly. But I'm not full stacking the A's here.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: So it's Cantillo, the Guardians, one-offs on the A's.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be Guardians or Buss for me. I don't
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: love Cantillo, but don't necessarily love this Oakland offense. And
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: then the thing with Cleveland that I don't love is
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it's just an ownership thing for me, Matt. I think
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: they're going to come in the second highest known team
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: behind the aforementioned Mariners. So certainly understand your take. Don't
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: hate them, but don't necessarily love them either. Moving on
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to the next game. Got the Red Sox, Ranger Suarez
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: taking on this Rays team in Tampa. Ian Seymour on
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the bump. A little AL East showdown at the Trop tonight.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Interested to get your take on these two Southpaws. Ranger Suarez, $ 8, 100, Matt.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: That's cheap, in my opinion, not very expensive. But interested
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to get your take.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Talk to me.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: He's coming off a really good start, too. Two of them.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Two of them. Yeah. I'm still not playing him at $ 8, 100.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Like, it's the same.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I always chuckle now when I see Suarez because of
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: your– I don't.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Even know what they're called.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: They're like wild assumptions based on like one thing I've said.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: They're not even takes sometimes. I mean, I don't really
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: feel that type of way about Suarez either way. He
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: is cheap to your point, but I hate the matchup.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: So I guess like if you like him more than
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: like May and Cantillo, I get it. I mean, in general,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I think he's a better pitcher than those guys, but
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: the matchup's just brutal. So I'm probably out on both
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: sides of Suarez and Tampa And then Seymour, he's been good.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I don't mind him here. I mean, if you can't
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: get up to Glass now and Cease, the two top dogs, obviously,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: on this slate, it's tough to play both of them together,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: especially with Cease being over 11K. I think the next
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: two guys are Seymour and Cavalli So I don't like
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: him as much as glass down cease. And I don't
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: know if I want to spend 8,700 on him, but
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I think he's in play. And then Boston kind of
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: reminds me of the A's. I don't want to stack them,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: but I could play Trevor story as a one-off, you know,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: other guys in their lineup have hour and they run
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: a little bit. So I don't mind them as one-offs,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: but I'm not stacking Boston. It's this is really just
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Seymour or probably nothing for me from this game.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I can, I can get in on that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Ranger Suarez, $ 8, 100.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I like the price. Like you said, don't love the matchup.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Probably won't get there.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: And, yeah, if you don't have any interest in the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Red Sox, neither do I. Seymour's got some pretty good
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: K stuff on the season at home. But, yeah, I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: out on the offense. He's probably out on the pitching
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: as well on this one. Moving on to the next game.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Got the Phillies taking on the Mets. Mets been swinging
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a hot bat. Talked to me a little bit about
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: this game. We got the journeymen. Jose, I'll let you
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: say his name. Orquita, take it on Zach Thornton for
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: this Mets team. I don't love Orquita, but talk to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: me a little bit about this game. Phillies at the Mets.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this game is, man, on a lot
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: of slates, I think I'd be more interested. I mean, Thornton,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: we prefer lefties against the Phillies.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Thornton's only 7,300.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: He's just a guy on this slate for me. Philly
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: doesn't stand out as a stack, though. I mean, Thornton's
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: not a gas can. You know, Philly is an offense
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: that on any slate, if they score a ton and
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: hit a bunch of home runs, I'm not surprised, but
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: this isn't the slate.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going all out on them.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: And then the Mets, man, is Rikidi starting this game?
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: It looks like now it's Tim Miza starting with Rikidi
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: coming in after that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a bullpen game, which I don't like.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I don't like targeting, but I don't either.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: The Phillies just got Arkady from the White Sox. I
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: don't think he pitches that much here, especially if he's struggling. So,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: you know, the Mets have been good in the second half.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: They're kind of like the Phillies right now. You could
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: stack them on any slate, and it wouldn't be shocking
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: if they went off. But nothing about this spot screams
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I need to play them, if that makes sense.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: It does. I think the Mets are swinging a hot bat,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: like you said, getting– Two, I'll call them– I don't
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: like Rikiti.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know enough about Miz and need to check
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: that out.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I like this Mets team as like a sneaky, like
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: if you're not playing a Mariners type team, Matt.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Carson, what, Benji, dude, steals bases left and right.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Bichette stinks, but I would put him in the stack. Obviously,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Soto and Lindor can double dong. My boy, Mark Vientos,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: my home run call from last week. Hey, he didn't
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: go 0 for 2 with two strikeouts against Carlos Rondon.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I think he got a walk in there. So I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: like Mark Vientos against that lefty. I like this Mets team, Matt,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: in a 5-plus team.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: GPP, if you're playing 5-plus, give me one.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Of the Mets.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: No good?
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: I respect it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right, moving on to the next game. Got
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the Tigers. Got the White Sox. David Sandlin taking on
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Andrew Sears. This Tigers team, obviously a huge disappointment this year, Matt.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: They've basically given up on the season. Now going into
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the White Sox. We need them to lose. The White Sox,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that is, for your Cleveland Guardians. But talk to me
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit about this game. AL Central matchup. Tigers
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: at the White Sox.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this game is interesting to me from both sides.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Definitely prefer the White Sox against righties.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: But Sears isn't good. So I think the White Sox
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: are sneaky on this slate, if nothing else. They don't
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: stand out in a major way at all. But They're
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: fighting for their playoff lives. Sears isn't good, so I.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Don't hate them here.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Detroit looks better on paper. Sandlin in the White Sox bullpen,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I'm totally fine picking on. Yeah, the Tigers are in
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: a good spot here. They haven't been amazing lately, but
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I like the top of this lineup. I don't think
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: they get played a lot. Are you in on Detroit here?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I am out on Detroit.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, why?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I just don't like them. I don't know. I feel
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: like they've given up on the season. I mean, I
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: don't have any.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I ask why. Like, you need to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: have an answer for why you're not playing every team
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: on this slate.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: But I get it. You don't play a ton of lineups.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: And there's a lot of teams that play on this slate.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: So, you're just not playing.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they just don't stick out to me.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And, hey, this may or may not be one of
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: your takes.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: But it's in my head.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: You don't take the White Sox versus lefties, so I'm
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: not taking the White Sox either. That's exactly what I'm
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: talking about. Like, yeah, I love those. You said it
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: one time.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: It's just that they're better against righties. It's just that
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: they're better against righties. But Sears is so bad. He's
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: not so bad. He's bad enough. Like, I'll tell you what,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: his last start was against the Rockies, and he got
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: hit around pretty hard at home. So kind of.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Tells you all you need to know, right?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just looking at his game.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: They're cheap, too.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I'll say this about the White Sox. Tommy Pham, one
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: of my all-time.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Faves, 2K.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Randall Gritchick, he's been good, 3,400. Murakami, Holmert off forever.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: And against the lefty.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Both against the lefty.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Sorry to put you off. No, exactly. And I think
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Gritchick is going to stay in the game anyways.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: He's been playing full-time recently. Murakami, Holmert off a lefty yesterday.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I don't hate the White Sox at all.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, fam's going to get played. It looks like
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a corner ownership. I mean, obviously, 2K, you can just
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: fit in a bunch of a bunch of those guys.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And I didn't build any teams over on DraftKings. But
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, could you or could you and or would
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you like would you play those cheap White Sox guys
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to jam in.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: The two studs at pitcher?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Is that something like you would do or no, not really?
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, you need more than just– yeah, Pham is
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: going to get pinch hit for when they bring in
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: a righty, but he could do damage against Sears on
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: his own, and he's going to hit second probably.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's second confirmed.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Okay. So, yeah, I mean, you're playing him for the
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: whenever two at-bats he gets against Sears at 2K. I
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: still think he's.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: More than viable.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I don't love guys like that as one-offs, but Pham
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: has enough power. I don't hate it. And if I'm
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: stacking the White Sox, he obviously helps. do I want
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: to play the cheap? The thing is with the white socks,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: like famine, Gritchick are cheap. Well, Doyle's cheap too, but
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: that's three outfield spots. And then like, I mean, you're
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: not getting any of the other guys you really want,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: like Vargas, you know, the guys that can really do damage,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I don't hate it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good point.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: You can fit one of them, honestly, you know, with,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: if you play teal with the three.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Outfielders and then like Vargas, I mean, I don't hate that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Uh, I think they're probably better builds, but that is,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: you know, all the white socks.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Outfielders have power speed upside.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: So that wouldn't be shocking to me.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: No, we haven't gotten all these pictures, but Jake has
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: a question. Cease and Seymour glass down Cavalli.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Give me glass down Cavalli. Um, Give me Gaston Cavalli.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I think it's slightly higher on, but I don't care.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I like that combo better.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Good stuff on the Tigers and White Sox.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Next game is the aforementioned Dylan Cease, our number one
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: ranked pitcher over in the pitching rankings at ShipItNation.com. Taking
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: on this Rangers team, former Vanderbilt legend Kumar Rocker, who's
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: been getting rocked around. By the way, fun fact, do
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you know who Kumar Rocker's dad is? Do I know? No.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Who is it?
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Tracy Rocker, former NFL great. Tracy Rocker, look him up.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Auburn University, played.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: In the NFL. But in any event, Dylan Cease taking
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: on Kumar.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Kumar Rocker's been bad, and I think he's been pretty
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: bad recently as well. Been bad most of the season.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Might have had one or two good starts along the way.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: But talk to me about this game. Any offenses, I'll
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: stick by my guns and say never the Blue Jays,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: even against Kumar. But give me some Cease. Talk to
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: me this game.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely not playing the Rangers against Cease.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Cease is the top dog today. But honestly, the matchup
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: isn't quite as good for Glassnow. And Glassnow is cheaper.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: But, man, Cease is– Ooh, you got Glassnow higher.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Nah, you can't. Just because, like, Glassnow hasn't– has only
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: been back for a little while and hasn't been nearly
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: as clean as Cease has this year. I mean, Cease
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: is going to win the AL Cy Young. He's been
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: just amazing this season.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: It's still a good matchup in a good pitcher's park.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: So I got ceased number one, but I do think
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: that this is a prime upside Glassnow spot, and I
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be shocked if Glassnow outscores him. I mean, yeah,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Cease is awesome. I like the Blue Jays more than you.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, not a great hitter's park, but Rocker's always
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: someone you can pick on. I don't know if I
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: like them enough to actually play them, though.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Mr. Klein says Cecil finished second in the AL Cy Young.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Who's going to win it? Schlittler? I mean, I don't know.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Is that the odds? I haven't even looked at the
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: odds in a little bit.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Well, if there was only an app where I could
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: look that up.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Right. Do it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Pull it up. Can you?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, gosh. Cam Schlittler's like....
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Negative 50,000.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, I mean, he's been– I know he's been
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: awesome as fast as he starts.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I get it. I mean– He's even a
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: bigger favorite than Jacob Mizorowski.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Well, because Sanchez second, I know.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: No, Christopher Sell.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Christopher Sell, okay. Yeah, I mean, Mizorowski will probably win it.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: But he hasn't been as clean in the second half,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: you know. Yeah.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: MVP, your dong is going to win MVP? That's wild.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Probably. His numbers are really good. Yeah, what, he had
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: 45 bombs the other day? His second half hasn't been
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: great either.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this Blue Jays team, man, they're tough.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Tough to stack. I can't do it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: You've got... You've got Glass now ahead of Cease, huh?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if– I mean, the thing– yeah.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, ownership I'm showing, I think Glass is
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: going to be higher on, and I'm seeing spots project
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: him higher. So, I don't think that's a crazy take
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: at all. The spot is amazing for Glass now.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Sam Fran's rolling out a triple-A lineup.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah. Yeah.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Glastonbury couldn't be in a better spot here.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: All right. Next game up on the slate is the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: game everybody's going to be talking about.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: It's the Mariners.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: They get their turn in Colorado to take on Gabriel Hughes,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: who last time out, though, Matt, I think it was
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: those New York Yankees that he was going up against.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: And he held his own in Yankee Stadium. But now
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: he comes back home to take on this Mariners team.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Talk to me a little bit about this game. You
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: got the Mariners going into Colorado to take on the Rockies.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: We also have.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Brian Wu on the Hill for the Mariners. So talk
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: to me if you got any love for Wu or
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: either one of these offenses.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, three-pronger for me for sure here.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Bottom one of the year, baby.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there might be more on the slate going forward, but.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: This is the biggest prime, most prime example of one
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: for me. First off Seattle's offense top stack on the slate,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: in my opinion, pretty clearly not close. Only reason you're
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: not playing them is because of ownership.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, Hughes is not as bad as some of
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: the other Rockies pitchers, but he's not good. Wasn't even
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: supposed to be starting today. Seattle isn't pressed like they
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: should be, even though they're more expensive than they usually are.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're getting the biggest ballpark shift you can get.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: They got cheap guys all up and down their lineup.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: They were good to me when they were in Sacramento
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: in that ballpark. I expect similar performances here. The whole
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: lineup's in play. You get into this Rockies bullpen, massive
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: upside for the Mariners. Like, yeah, I recognize their floor
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: is low because their offense, you know, for the names
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: in it, just kind of seems to never click. And
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: they strike out a lot. So that leaves you with
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: a low floor, but I'm going to win tournaments. And yeah,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: you are fighting ownership, but I don't think they're crazy high-owned.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: And I think there are ways to get different around them,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: like playing Brian Wu.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a Wu guy.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Obviously I prefer him at home, but he's cheap and
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: in a really good matchup against a Rockies lineup that
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: isn't good and strikes out a lot. That said, the
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Rockies offense also has upside and power and Wu, When
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: he's bad, he gets blown up.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: So, you know, like I like Wu. I'm a Wu guy.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I think I'm just a fan of his stuff. So
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I'm more on his side here. But I'd be foolish
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: to not recognize that Rocky's upside in his floor here.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: He's been– I mean, I'll say dynamite.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: It's probably not the right word, but he's been pretty good.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Let's use those words. Five out of his last six starts,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: 19-plus points with 125– another 25, and 138. So he's
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: been rocking and rolling. He's been pitching better. But, yeah,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: about a month before that is when he was getting
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: lit up. $ 8, 500, he's cheap. He's probably going to be, yeah,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: relatively unowned. I think he'll be higher than 4% owned,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: but closer to 10 to 15 probably.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Someone was asking about the weather. I'm assuming that's this game.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Is there any weather in Denver? Oh, yeah, here we go. Yeah.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it. What the weather?
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Oh my God.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Oh man.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Get him a t-shirt.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Get my boy weatherman Matt a t-shirt. Come on, man.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: That's good stuff. Not worried about it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Not worried about the weather here.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: You know, obviously some of the monitor looks like.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: There's rain in the area, but you know, just keep
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: it in the back of your mind for now. I
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be building my lineups around it or not building
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: them with the Mariners because of it, I should say.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Kevin. We appreciate that update there as well.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Mariners lineup is not out yet. I just saw– let
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: me just hit refresh. No, I thought I saw it
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: come out as we were talking. Yeah, Mariners lineup is out.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Let's see. J.P. Crawford, Rosarena, Canzone, Raleigh, J-Rod Batten, Fifth, Naylor, Young, Montes,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: and Brock. rodent real quick on this mariners team it
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: looks like everybody that we have uh listed here are
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: you playing can you play one through nine here for
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the mariners or are you cutting it off oh yeah
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: no you can definitely one through nine okay who are
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: your favorite sorry real quick uh who are who would
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: be your favorite rockies like if you had to pick
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: like a two as a flop two one or something is.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Their lineup dropped yet uh yeah it's out oh yeah
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: i see it um I mean, I don't think you
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: need to get too crazy with them just because I
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: don't think they're owned. So Goodman, obviously the top, he's always,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: you know, the top guys, one through five would be
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: my favorites.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Awesome. Next stuff up, Peter Lambert taking on Tyler Molle. Braves,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: this Astros lineup just dropped. Let's see if there's any surprises. No,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Yordong's in there.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Pena, Jeremy Pena, Paredes. Yeah, it's the normal lineup in there.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Christian Walker, he cost us, what, 300K the other night
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: by striking out every time at the plate. But anyway, Matt, Braves,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: my Atlanta Braves need these games, right? Philly's creeping on
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: a come-up, taking on this Astros team.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Talk to me.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can play the Braves here. I mean, I'm
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: not playing Lambert. The Braves are a team you know
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I like to play, and I play them against better
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: pitchers than Lambert. They don't really stand out on this slate.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: But that might be a good thing because I like
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: offenses like the Braves when they're not like standing out
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: on paper.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in on the Braves here more than I
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: thought I would be.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: The other side of it, Malley's been good. So I'm
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: not really looking to play Malley here, but Houston, nah,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I'm out on Houston. I'm not stacking Houston. Not that like, again,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: their offense is good enough and it's baseball. I wouldn't
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: be shocked if they went off, but I respect Molly enough.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I don't need to play that. How expensive is Molly?
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, somebody said, I don't hate him, honestly.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: He's been really freaking good. I mean, he's cheap too. 7,700
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: is cheap for the break.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And like I've played him a bunch when he's
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: been good. So, yeah, I mean, I don't love it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: It's a tough matchup, but I think you could do worse.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Do you have any Astro that you like as a
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: one-off maybe? I mean, your dog's too expensive in my opinion,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: but any of those other.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Guys stick out to you? Is it just a full
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: pass on the Strohs?
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I'm good on the Strohs.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: All right. Next up on the slate, got the Nationals
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: headed into St. Louis to take on this Cardinals team.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Newly paid, newly minted, Cade Cavalli and all 48 million
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: of his guaranteed dollars. going in to the Arch, the
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Arch City, to take on this Cardinals team. I'm not
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: going to pronounce this guy's name, but Cooper, whatever his
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: last name is, was balling his first game out. Then
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: he had his welcome to the MLB moment last time, Matt,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: but his stuff looks pretty good. Southpaw for the Cardinals.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: He's the long reliever tonight, I believe. But talk to
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: me a little bit about this game. You got any Cardinals?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: You got any Nationals? Or you like either one of
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: these pitchers?
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Man, I think that both pitchers are in play for
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: me here. Cavalli, expensive, but he's in great form right now.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I don't hate the matchup. You know, if you can't
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: get up to one of the top dogs, I don't
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: hate Cavalli. Yeah, I'll probably have a little bit, not
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: prioritizing him, but if he fits and I can't get
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: up to the top guys, I don't hate it. And
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: then I think it's Herpe, Cooper Herpe. Yeah, I think
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: he's in play. I mean, a lefty against Washington. He
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: was really good his first outing. He wasn't his last one.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I played him his last one. He wasn't good, but
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: I don't hate him here. And, yeah, I think it's
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: pronounced herpy. A name you're probably real familiar with.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: That's a rough name. I don't think it's that.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Cavalli has been a monster. Yeah, thanks to you and Nades.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Cavalli won me a bunch of money earlier in the season. So, Nades,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I need you to chime in.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Is this where we jump on the Cavalli bandwagon or not? But, yeah,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: good stuff there. Next game up on the slate.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, here it is. This is it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: You got the twins and Connor Prelip going into Anaheim
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: to take on Grayson Rodriguez, Mr. Chalk himself, and this
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles of Anaheim Angels. I think that's what they're
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: still called. But talk to me about this game. Your
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: boy Grayson's going to come in. I think highly owned, Matt,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: projects well. But talk to me about this game.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Twins at the Angels.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Grayson, you think is really going to be high owned? Oh, yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm stacking the twins. I mean, I already was
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: stacking the two, you know, I feel here. I mean, yeah. Damn.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Okay. Titan says it's pronounced jerky.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I was, but I still, I said it anyways, just
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: so I could slide that in there. Oh man. I
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: love the twins here. I mean, Grayson, you know, he was,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: he started out awful. that he had like a decent
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: stretch and he's been back to being bad. The twins, man, uh, I,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I just think they have upside here.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: They're not going to be owned. I like them a lot. Uh,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: good ballpark for.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Hitting a lot of things about the twins that make
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: me like them here. I also think Grayson's in play 6k.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: You said it projects decent. I mean, you can play
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Grayson here. He's cheap enough, but I'm playing the twins.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I like them quite a bit in this spot. Um,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: They're one of my favorite sacks on the board. I
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: also don't mind the Angels. Prelip isn't great. He's been
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: much better at home. Angels, you know, the whole lefty.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I still prefer lefties. I still prefer them against lefties,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: excuse me. Even with Adele and Solaire no longer there.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, non-righties is what the projected lineup is trying
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: to help.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I don't think Grayson's going to be chalk, honestly.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: But maybe I'm wrong.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. I was going to
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: retract that. I think he'll get some ownership. I mean,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: chalk was probably a bad word or a bad term
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: to use. But I think he'll get– well, we have 15%.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's right.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: We shall see.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: But, yeah. Prelip's going to be really popular.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he will be.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: So that makes me like the Angels even more, actually,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: because I'm with you.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's a really good pitcher.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's not been good on the road.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Maybe a little game stack at this game.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Game stack with the cheapies and get the two big
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: boy pitchers in? Is that how you do it?
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like the Twins are super expensive, and
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: neither are the Angels, so I think you could do
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: it a bunch of different ways.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, that seems like it could work.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: You could definitely play a lot of cheap guys from
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: this game and play the top pitchers for sure.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Who are your favorite Angels, like outside of Trout, obviously? Netto,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, Netto, I prefer over Trout just
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: because of shortstop. Yeah.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Man, some of these lineups, obviously.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: There's some guys on the Angels I hate playing, though,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: like Jose Siri.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: But you've got to embrace it.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Against Prelip, you've got to embrace the whole stack because
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: he puts a lot of guys on base. So, like,
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I'll play it if I'm playing them. you know, outside
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: of like their top dogs, like Trout, Netto, I want
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: the full stack.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: All right. Good stuff.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, if you're just now tuning in, hey, do us
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: a quick favor, hit that like, hit that subscribe button.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: We got roughly, what, three games left. Kind of breezing
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: through this, man. We're rocking and rolling. If you got
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: any questions, make sure you put them in the chat.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: We'll get them answered.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: You got Tyler Phillips and his Marlins team going into
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Petco to take on Nick Pavetta. Nick Pavetta's pitching again. But, uh, Yeah,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I like this Padres team. Interesting to get your take.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Don't love the park, obviously, but talk to me a
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: little bit about this game.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: You got Tyler Phillips, $ 6, 100, taking on Nick Pavetta, $ 8, 800
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: for Nick Pavetta, who is, I think, if I'm not mistaken,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: this is his third start since coming off the IL. Been,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I'd say, mediocre at best, but talk to me about
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: this game. Marlins at the Padres.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Marlins and Pavetta are kind of nothing to me.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not playing Pavetta at his tag. I don't think he's, like,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: the worst play, but I don't love it, and I
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: don't trust it, and he's expensive. And I don't really
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: like the Marlins in this park. And then the Padres
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: are in a good spot against Phillips, but bad park,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: and they are uber pricey. They're, like, the most expensive
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: stack on the board because they're coming from cores. Their
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: tags have dropped a little bit, but not, like, enough.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, Tatis, 6,500. They got it. Their guys are expensive,
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: and I'm not really paying for it in this ballpark.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I do think someone like Dustin Harris, presumably hitting second,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: you know, he's real cheap in play for sure.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: He's been good.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: But tough for me to want to full stack the
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Padres here because they're uber pricey.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Our pricey. No Pavetta.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I think I heard you say no Marlins as well,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: so we'll move on to the next game if nothing
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: else to add there. Yeah, I'm good on the Marlins.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: All right, I hate what I'm about to say here
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: in a minute, but I'm going to let you go first.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: We got the Yankees going into Arizona, into the desert.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Garrett Cole, gosh, Garrett Cole, that kind of served Garrett
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Cole right. If you saw him in his last start
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: against the Mets, now he goes into the desert to
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: take on Eduardo Rodriguez and this Diamondback team.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Talk to me about this game, Yankees at the Diamondbacks.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: I like offense in this game.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I like the Yankees. I mean, I'd much prefer the
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Yankees against righties, but Erod has been a reverse this
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: guy for much of his career. Even if like this
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: year doesn't show that as much, I'm still going by
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: what he's been throughout a pretty long career at this point.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: So I don't mind the Yankees at all. I think
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: they have an upside here, even though Erod has been good.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: He's been good enough for like, if I were playing
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: one lineup, I would struggle to stack the Yankees, but
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: it's the same thing we talk about with the Yankees.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Their upside puts them in play always. So tonight's no different.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Arizona and Cole, I guess, is kind of both sides.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: But for me, it's almost neither side. I'm this big
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: of a slate. I don't really want to stack against Cole.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: But I struggle to use him right now with that
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: tag and his current form in this matchup. Just not
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: much going for him here except for ownership. So he's
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: good enough where I could play him at low owns.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: But honestly, give me Wu over him at 500 cheaper
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: and just a better spot. And I trust Wu more
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Um, that's how I see it. Yeah.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Let me like little devil's advocate.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Like Garrett Cole over his last four starts has not
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: been very good. And I kind of hit him.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead. I mean, I was gonna say hit
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: a bowling point last start, but he's been bad. So
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, he hasn't been good recently, but like,
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: are you still trying? Like I'm still, yeah. And he's
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: given up a bunch of home runs. And honestly, on
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: that game against San Diego, uh, I stacked against him
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: because it was like a two game afternoon slate.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: And they hit back to back to back home run
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: to start the game.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: And then he was really.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Good, honestly.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: And I kind of thought he was going to bounce
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: back from there.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: He didn't, you know, yeah. I mean, if your point
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: is that you like Arizona a lot here, I get it.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: They're going to be low owned, but I don't know. I,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: for me, I struggled to still want to stack against
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Cole in this bullpen, but he's given up seven home
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: runs his last two games and Arizona is going to
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: be long.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: So like, I don't think it's a bad play. Yeah.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: And their, and their bet, you know, their best hitters
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: are better hitters, you know, two, at least two of them,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Carol and Marte and Lars Newport.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: If you consider him.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like they get the splits advantage.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: And Moreno's just been nails this year. So like the
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: top five of Arizona, I would struggle with like the
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: bottom scrubs, but yeah. And that's like, Honestly, I think
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Cole is in play also because the bottom of the
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: lineup is so bad in all righties.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like what I said. I hate I'm going
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: to say this, but it's the– I like the Yankees.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't think you were going to like the Yankees
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: because we talked about in the past about Erod's having
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: a better year than I think either one of us expected.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: But I like the Yankees' minis. It's tough because a
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: lot of their better hitters are lefty.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I liked them at some mini stacks for sure tonight. So, um,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: great call by you on that one. And the final
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: game on the slate is we have the San Francisco
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: giants taking on Tyler glass. Now, uh, Yeah, Dodgers is
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: going to get a lot of ownership against Cesar Perdomo.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Glass now is going to get a ton of ownership.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I was looking at that AAA lineup you talked about.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: They got blanked pretty good in the game one against
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and they came back the last two. I
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: believe they won the last two games, both in extras innings,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. But I like Glass now in
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: this one. Everybody likes Glass now. Talk to me a
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: little bit about this Dodgers offense and how you're going
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: to play them. Yeah, so it's all.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: About the Dodgers here. Glass now priority for me. If
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: I'm playing one lineup, Glass now is in it. The Dodgers, yeah,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, they look good here. All of a sudden,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker, one of the hottest hitters in baseball, and
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: they're not, like, super expensive with Ohtani out. You prefer
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: them against righties, but, I mean, Perdomo and this Giants
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: pen– in a pretty good park for hitting, good park
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: for home runs.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, guys like Will Smith stand out. Tay Oscar.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I like the Dodgers here. I don't think you have
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: to go– like I'm not going to go as far
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: as to say they're a better stack than Seattle here,
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: but if you want to say you like them most
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: because of ownership, I would get it. For me, they're
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: in that second tier. I think Seattle is pretty clearly
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: in their own tier. I'd be the Dodgers in that
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: tier of like the Twins, the Guardians– the Braves, but
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: I think the Dodgers might be the most owned of
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: that other tier. So I don't know how heavy I'm
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: going to be on them outside of one offs and
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: mini stacks.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Where do you rank this Dodgers stack? Like the full
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: five man stack versus, versus the others like top five.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: It's top five.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It depends.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: It's top five.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: It's just a matter of where you want to put
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: it in the top five. You know what I mean? Yeah.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: All right, that'll do it.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: That's all 13 games, Matt. We got through that in
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: about 45 minutes. Appreciate you tuning in. Let's give everybody–
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: let's go top three pitchers. Let's go top four because
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I know who the top two are. So let's go
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: top four pitchers on the slate.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: Well, obviously you've got to go Cease and Glassnow. I'll
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: go Glassnow, Cease. Then after that, I'll go– it's pretty jumbled.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: And I would get why you would go down to, like,
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: the 7,500 guys.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Pre-lip even.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say Cavalli third. I'm going to say
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Wu fourth.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: I like Wu a lot.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: He's my guy a lot, and I'm going to ride
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: with him tonight, likely. Not in all my lineups, but
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: I'm going to play him a little bit. And then,
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: is that all you asked, or?
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think number five, you would say Tyler or Molly.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: No, but.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: No?
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: No? For number five, no, I wouldn't play Molly over, like,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Dustin May, who is right there for me, too.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, you wouldn't? Okay.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't. I mean, the matchup's just tougher for Molly.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I don't mind May.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: I think he looks pretty good in tournaments here. So, yeah,
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think after the top two, it's pretty
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: jumbled with a bunch of guys that look good, not great,
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: with flaws.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: What about your boy Cooper Herpe?
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't hate that either.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: He's hella cheap and, you know, don't mind the spot,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: but it's just there's opportunity cost there, you know?
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh, yeah. Feltner is scratched. Gabriel Hughes is getting
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the ball now for the Rockies. All right, we got
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: your top pitchers. Let's go top stacks, not named Seattle Mariners. Okay,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: we'll go three. We'll go the Twins.
• 43:33
