- 0:01Speaker 1: Yep. Inside, I want to kill myself. We're on own
- 0:06Speaker 1: seven run over the last two days after tonight it
- 0:08Speaker 1: was just complete bullshit. So that's that's I'm gonna start
- 0:12Speaker 1: off this show horrible Sunday one and five. I don't
- 0:15Speaker 1: even know what to tell you about that. I just
- 0:18Speaker 1: don't want to do this anymore. I have never seen
- 0:21Speaker 1: anything like this. Man with the slump continuing. Two straight losses,
- 0:26Speaker 1: not a good day at all all in four that
- 0:29Speaker 1: have not had a good season. Man with wookends the
- 0:33Speaker 1: slump that I'm on, and the slump continues. I've reached
- 0:37Speaker 1: into pink. Actually, I'm going to burn my broins hat. Man,
- 0:42Speaker 1: I don't know what is going on with the bruins
- 0:45Speaker 1: arch hape? Is that what it is? I don't even
- 0:47Speaker 1: know it's It's March ninth, I think who even knows? Man,
- 0:51Speaker 1: I don't know what day is anymore. I don't even
- 0:53Speaker 1: know what day it is anymore. Man, back with you
- 0:56Speaker 1: after the worst day that I could possibly have, Back
- 0:59Speaker 1: with few as I always am until I die, at
- 1:03Speaker 1: least oh and two yesterday and yesterday it did not
- 1:07Speaker 1: go well for me. Oh and five the worst month
- 1:10Speaker 1: that I've ever had in my eighteen years doing this,
- 1:13Speaker 1: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 1: The slump yesterdays, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues. Somebody
- 1:20Speaker 1: fucking kill me, please. I don't even know what I
- 1:24Speaker 1: should do at this point, other than potentially end it all.
- 1:32Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, It's towed back with you. This is
- 1:35Speaker 1: better off dead. Monday, August eighteenth, Baby, Uh, yesterday it
- 1:41Speaker 1: went alright. Probably should have gone better. Maybe it could
- 1:44Speaker 1: have gone worse too. One oh and one on the
- 1:47Speaker 1: show yesterday we had the Cincinnati Reds. They got there. Man,
- 1:51Speaker 1: I told you, take the Reds. We're gonna break the
- 1:55Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers streak. Finally gonna cut the head off of
- 1:59Speaker 1: that zomb behead the zombie had happened the Reds. They
- 2:03Speaker 1: had a one nothing lead late in the game, and
- 2:06Speaker 1: then it looked like Milwaukee was gonna remain undead as
- 2:10Speaker 1: they I believe, they hit a two run home run
- 2:12Speaker 1: or something to take a two to one lead I
- 2:15Speaker 1: think in the ninth inning, and then the Reds tied
- 2:17Speaker 1: it in the bottom of the ninth, sent it to extras,
- 2:20Speaker 1: and then they wound up winning the game in extra innings, thankfully,
- 2:24Speaker 1: after Milwaukee walked the bases loaded intentionally and wound up
- 2:29Speaker 1: giving up a walk off single I believe. So that
- 2:31Speaker 1: was the end of that one. So we got that
- 2:33Speaker 1: one right, and then that one was a roller coaster
- 2:37Speaker 1: for sure. It was close. And then Detroit Minnesota. Really
- 2:40Speaker 1: that should have been an easy winner on the over
- 2:42Speaker 1: the over nine. I mean, if you had told me
- 2:44Speaker 1: that going into that that Chris Paddock alone was gonna
- 2:48Speaker 1: give up eight earned runs in the game, I would
- 2:50Speaker 1: have been like, I'm gonna bet everything I own on
- 2:54Speaker 1: the over in this game, Like, are you kidding me?
- 2:56Speaker 1: I was like, all we need is one additional run
- 2:59Speaker 1: just to push the thing, and then one more and
- 3:01Speaker 1: it goes over. I mean, you have to be kidding me.
- 3:03Speaker 1: The game, I think had I don't know. We were
- 3:05Speaker 1: probably at about seven runs scored in that game by
- 3:08Speaker 1: I don't know, the fourth inning or so. In that
- 3:10Speaker 1: game it looked like it was completely over over with
- 3:13Speaker 1: the over, and then what happens. The bullpens actually wind
- 3:18Speaker 1: up basically not giving up anything. Minnesota They're pitching somehow
- 3:23Speaker 1: was good, which makes absolutely no sense with basically a
- 3:26Speaker 1: bullpend game with that bullpen, and the game wound up
- 3:29Speaker 1: landing on nine and pushing. So if anybody went over
- 3:32Speaker 1: nine and a half, I apologize for that. All that
- 3:34Speaker 1: I did tell you nine was a key number there,
- 3:36Speaker 1: But I think pretty much nine was out there for
- 3:39Speaker 1: like the whole day though, So I'm pretty sure if
- 3:41Speaker 1: you played that one, you did go over nine and
- 3:43Speaker 1: pushed it with the rest of us. So yeah, you
- 3:46Speaker 1: push it. We'll move on to today. We got baseball today,
- 3:50Speaker 1: a bunch of baseball games today, more than what we
- 3:52Speaker 1: usually see on Monday. So I think we're gonna jump
- 3:56Speaker 1: right into it. Man, We're gonna jump right into the rundown.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I'm gonna have two plays today in Major League Baseball,
- 4:01Speaker 1: and again they're probably not gonna be very popular plays,
- 4:06Speaker 1: but that's just the nature of it. Man. You don't
- 4:08Speaker 1: really want to be on popular plays more often than not,
- 4:12Speaker 1: So try to find the edge somewhere. We're gonna be edging.
- 4:16Speaker 1: That's what we're doing here. Let's jump into it. We
- 4:18Speaker 1: do have another Wrigley Field afternoon game, because what else
- 4:21Speaker 1: is new, But this is actually a double header. As
- 4:24Speaker 1: I mentioned yesterday, part of the Milwaukee handicap was that
- 4:27Speaker 1: I thought they might be looking ahead to the series
- 4:29Speaker 1: with the Cubs. Here. It's a big series, man, I mean,
- 4:32Speaker 1: the Milwaukee does have a big lead in the division
- 4:36Speaker 1: right now. This is gonna be big. First game up
- 4:39Speaker 1: is at two to twenty pm Eastern, in Game one
- 4:41Speaker 1: of this double header, which kicks off a five game
- 4:44Speaker 1: series between these two teams. The pitching matchup in this
- 4:47Speaker 1: one is gonna be interesting, bullpen wise. I'm gonna give
- 4:51Speaker 1: the Cubs a bit of a bullpen edge here or
- 4:53Speaker 1: theough Milwaukee did not use many of their relievers yesterday.
- 4:56Speaker 1: The Cubs didn't really use too many of theirs either. Mean,
- 4:58Speaker 1: they use Ben Brown relief even though he's been in
- 5:01Speaker 1: and out of the starting rotation. So bullpen's sort of
- 5:05Speaker 1: a wash. But we're gonna give the Cubs the bullpen edge.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I think looking at the eras here, Yeah, the Cubs
- 5:11Speaker 1: eleventh and Bullpenny ra Milwaukee, Where the hell are they
- 5:14Speaker 1: even at now? They've really fallen off. It looks like
- 5:16Speaker 1: where are they? I don't even know Brewers? Where are you? Bowers? Yeah?
- 5:21Speaker 1: How about that? Brewers are actually right below them? I'm
- 5:24Speaker 1: blind twelve, But I'll still give the bullpen edge slightly
- 5:27Speaker 1: to the Cubs here. Hitting advantage goes to the Cubs
- 5:32Speaker 1: as well, even though Milwaukee is a pretty good offense
- 5:34Speaker 1: on the road. So we have two pretty good offenses here,
- 5:36Speaker 1: two good teams obviously. Freddy Peralta pitching form Milwauk, I mean,
- 5:40Speaker 1: he's still pretty much their ace. He's doing well this
- 5:44Speaker 1: year two point ninety RA, one point one two whip,
- 5:48Speaker 1: but he does have a forty RA in the road,
- 5:50Speaker 1: so Freddy Peralta not quite as good on the road.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I'd say he's in pretty good form in his two
- 5:55Speaker 1: starts this month, with fourteen strikeouts and only four walks
- 5:58Speaker 1: and eleven inning, seven hits allowed, one and run combined
- 6:02Speaker 1: against some weak offenses though against Atlanta and Pittsburgh. And
- 6:05Speaker 1: by the way, the game prior to that, he faced
- 6:07Speaker 1: the Cubs and he didn't do well in that game.
- 6:09Speaker 1: He gave it five earned runs four walks in that game.
- 6:12Speaker 1: So Peralta maybe doesn't really have a match up betging
- 6:15Speaker 1: this one against a hard hitting Cubs team. But if
- 6:18Speaker 1: you look at his overall numbers against the Cubs, they
- 6:20Speaker 1: are good and a large one hundred and fifty eight
- 6:22Speaker 1: at bat sample size fifty five to twenty two strike
- 6:25Speaker 1: out walker ratio is not exactly that great for him,
- 6:27Speaker 1: but one sixty five batting average allowed five sixty five
- 6:32Speaker 1: ninety six oh piast excuse me, so Peralta does overall
- 6:36Speaker 1: have good numbers throughout his career against the Cubs, but
- 6:40Speaker 1: he also is int as good on the road. He's
- 6:41Speaker 1: very familiar to the opposing offense, and Cad Horton is
- 6:46Speaker 1: gonna be the much more unfamiliar pitcher. He's a young
- 6:48Speaker 1: guy in the Cubs rotation, and he's actually been pitching
- 6:51Speaker 1: pretty effectively at three point seventy RA one point one
- 6:54Speaker 1: to eight whip. He's got a one point six one
- 6:57Speaker 1: e RA at home, so the split's definitely line up
- 7:00Speaker 1: for the Cubs here in this one, as far as
- 7:02Speaker 1: the pitching matcher is concerned. The Cubs have actually won
- 7:04Speaker 1: four straight games of visit. He's allowed one earned run
- 7:09Speaker 1: combined over his last five starts, so he's in good
- 7:13Speaker 1: form right now. Man. He has a seventeen to five
- 7:15Speaker 1: strike a walker rasue this month, which is also pretty
- 7:17Speaker 1: good a point five to five ERA. He's gone at
- 7:20Speaker 1: least five innings in every one of those starts as well.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Really the best offense that he faced that whole stretch
- 7:26Speaker 1: was I guess the Red Sox, and he did face
- 7:29Speaker 1: Toronto in there as well, so he faced a couple
- 7:31Speaker 1: of pretty potent offenses there. Milwaukee's also a potent offense,
- 7:35Speaker 1: and Milwaukee's never seen him before. Vaughn, the only hitter
- 7:38Speaker 1: who has faced him before, is zero for two off him.
- 7:41Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give the edge to the Cubs in
- 7:43Speaker 1: this game. Man, I would lean to the Cubs in
- 7:45Speaker 1: this afternoon game. It looks like the money is agreeing
- 7:47Speaker 1: with me. The Cubs dropped on the money line from
- 7:50Speaker 1: minus one twenty to minus one twelve, fifty percent of
- 7:53Speaker 1: tickets evenly split, sixty two percent of that cash coming
- 7:56Speaker 1: in on the Cubs. And the other thing I like
- 7:58Speaker 1: about this is that when you have Milwaukee, a team
- 8:01Speaker 1: like that that had this huge win streak, they hadn't
- 8:03Speaker 1: lost in like over two weeks, and then they finally
- 8:06Speaker 1: lose a game, I think that really contend to hang
- 8:09Speaker 1: you over into the next game, especially when it was
- 8:11Speaker 1: a dramatic extra innings finished there Whereas the Cubs I
- 8:14Speaker 1: believe aren't even traveling. Milwaukee's having to travel in from Cincinnati,
- 8:19Speaker 1: which isn't a huge amount of travel. But the Cubs
- 8:21Speaker 1: are just kind of sitting at home after a very
- 8:24Speaker 1: whole hum series where they barely beat Pittsburgh a couple
- 8:27Speaker 1: of times. So I think the Cubs do have an
- 8:29Speaker 1: advantage here. I'm actually tempted to give this out as
- 8:32Speaker 1: a play, to be honest, should we do it? It's close.
- 8:36Speaker 1: It's definitely close to being a play for me, man,
- 8:38Speaker 1: I like the Cubs in this one. Yeah, it's it's
- 8:43Speaker 1: very close to being a play. I might wind up
- 8:45Speaker 1: with three plays today if I do this. Andrew, what's
- 8:47Speaker 1: up man, thanks for hanging out. I'm really tempted to
- 8:51Speaker 1: do it. Let me just let me check on an
- 8:53Speaker 1: action network here real quick. I might I might give
- 8:55Speaker 1: out an extra play on the fly here. If I
- 8:57Speaker 1: do this is gonna be my weakest of the three plays, though.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Let me see here, Cubs, what are we doing the
- 9:04Speaker 1: afternoon game here? To some extent, I mean, actually, network
- 9:08Speaker 1: never really got like, I don't really trust the numbers
- 9:11Speaker 1: that they have out here because they like look at
- 9:14Speaker 1: that initial move as being a sharp move, but it
- 9:16Speaker 1: could be kind of like a false move there. Yeah,
- 9:22Speaker 1: you know what, let's do it. Let's do the Cubs.
- 9:26Speaker 1: We'll have three plays today, so that's gonna be Cubs
- 9:29Speaker 1: minus one eighteen. I think it's probably the best you
- 9:30Speaker 1: can get on that right now. We're going balls to
- 9:33Speaker 1: the wall here today. Man, Chicago Cubs minus one eighteen. Actually,
- 9:37Speaker 1: let me specify game one, Game one, Chicago Cubs minus
- 9:42Speaker 1: one eighteen. So that's gonna be our after noon game
- 9:45Speaker 1: doubleheader right there. Chicago Cubs. Game two, by the way,
- 9:50Speaker 1: very difficult to handicap. Neither team has an announced starting
- 9:54Speaker 1: pitcher yet in Game two, so Game two I really
- 9:57Speaker 1: just can't even handicap it any extent, really, So Game
- 10:02Speaker 1: two will skip that one. Skip the Game two Ussie.
- 10:06Speaker 1: The game Pussy Houston at Detroit starts the evening slate. Here.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Detroit is returning home from a road trip. Or they
- 10:13Speaker 1: went to Chicago, Minnesota, not a huge road trip, but
- 10:16Speaker 1: anytime a team returns home from a road trip, I
- 10:19Speaker 1: do have to point out that they tend to be
- 10:21Speaker 1: potentially a little bit distracted because they have to return
- 10:23Speaker 1: to family life. But they are facing Houston. Houston and
- 10:27Speaker 1: Detroit a couple of the top teams in the AL
- 10:29Speaker 1: right now, so it is a big series. So I
- 10:31Speaker 1: don't really think Detroit's gonna be totally distracted and just
- 10:35Speaker 1: overlook Houston. Houston starting a road trip after a really
- 10:40Speaker 1: ugly twelve nothing lost to Baltimore. They got shut out
- 10:43Speaker 1: in two of the three games against Baltimore, and that's
- 10:46Speaker 1: just hideous, terrible series from Houston. So I think Houston
- 10:50Speaker 1: is gonna show up in this game with some fire here.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna be pissed, like you can't lose
- 10:55Speaker 1: like that to a bad team like Baltimore. So I
- 10:58Speaker 1: think getting out of home, just going on the road,
- 11:00Speaker 1: I think that's a good spot for Houston. So situationally,
- 11:03Speaker 1: I kind of have a lean towards Houston just looking
- 11:05Speaker 1: at what's going on with the Yeah, just with the
- 11:08Speaker 1: scheduling spot there for Houston. Houston used a lot of
- 11:11Speaker 1: relief pitchers yesterday. They've had a pretty heavy usage of
- 11:15Speaker 1: their bullpen recently. They're pretty taxed, so I don't love
- 11:18Speaker 1: that aspect of it. Whereas Detroit, the game was just
- 11:21Speaker 1: a blowout game after Paddock basically made sure they were
- 11:25Speaker 1: not gonna win that game. So Detroit just brought in
- 11:28Speaker 1: Bailey Horn, who didn't help us with our over yesterday,
- 11:32Speaker 1: I guess, but Detroit's bullpen is in way better shape
- 11:35Speaker 1: coming into this one, even though Houston actually has the
- 11:37Speaker 1: better of the two bullpens generally, although Houston's kind of
- 11:40Speaker 1: dropped off a little bit, but Detroit's really seen a
- 11:43Speaker 1: drop off in their bullpen. But I will give Detroit
- 11:46Speaker 1: the bullpen edge here slightly just because they have the
- 11:49Speaker 1: uh a much more rested bullpen here. As far as
- 11:53Speaker 1: the starting pitching, Spencer arrag Getty is pitching for Houston,
- 11:57Speaker 1: he hasn't really gotten on track here. He's missed a
- 11:59Speaker 1: lot of the season though I do think he's a
- 12:01Speaker 1: young guy with a decent amount of talent. Though six
- 12:04Speaker 1: point three eighty RA at one point four to seven
- 12:06Speaker 1: whip not really very good obviously, twelve point two seventy
- 12:10Speaker 1: RA on the road, that's gonna have to get better,
- 12:13Speaker 1: but very small sample size. I mean, he said two
- 12:16Speaker 1: starts on the road, but they were against bad teams
- 12:18Speaker 1: in Minnesota and Miami, and he did bad in both
- 12:21Speaker 1: of those starts, so that's not exactly a good sign.
- 12:23Speaker 1: And another bad sign is that he walked five guys
- 12:26Speaker 1: in his last outing against the Red Sox. So Aragetty
- 12:29Speaker 1: He's just not really a good form right now going
- 12:32Speaker 1: up against Detroit. Only six at bats for Detroit against
- 12:35Speaker 1: him across five different hitters, but they have actually completely
- 12:39Speaker 1: bombed him for the most part Riley Green as two
- 12:41Speaker 1: of them runs off him. They have three walks against him,
- 12:44Speaker 1: one strikeout, six sixty seven batting average against him in
- 12:47Speaker 1: two thousand six hunder eleven ops. Obviously that's not sustainable.
- 12:52Speaker 1: But Aragedtty small stample size has really struggled against Detroit.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty is pitching for Detroit. He's definitely he had
- 13:00Speaker 1: some issues this year. Four point seven sixy RA one
- 13:03Speaker 1: point three to one whip not very good, but he
- 13:05Speaker 1: does pitch better at home. Three point seven to ninety
- 13:07Speaker 1: ra at home? Is that what that was? I think? So? Ah,
- 13:10Speaker 1: yes and Flaherty. I mean, his recent form is a
- 13:15Speaker 1: little bit difficult to gauge because you look at this month,
- 13:17Speaker 1: he has a sixteen to five strike at walk ratio,
- 13:19Speaker 1: which is pretty good, but his last two starts he
- 13:22Speaker 1: gave up five and runs a piece, failed to go
- 13:24Speaker 1: five innings in either of them, and that was against
- 13:26Speaker 1: Minnesota and the White Sox, so two pretty bad teams there,
- 13:31Speaker 1: really bad offenses, especially Chicago the White Sox so Flowerty
- 13:35Speaker 1: is not really in good form either, but he does
- 13:38Speaker 1: have I believe he does have a little bit of
- 13:39Speaker 1: a match up bad year. His numbers are the better
- 13:41Speaker 1: numbers between the two starters, and he's I would say
- 13:44Speaker 1: he's still in slightly better for him than Erik Getty
- 13:47Speaker 1: is right now. Seventy nine at bats Flaherty has against Houston,
- 13:50Speaker 1: twenty three to three strike out walk ratio is pretty
- 13:53Speaker 1: good two forty one batting average allowed, six eighty six
- 13:56Speaker 1: o ps. So the situation kind of points towards Houston
- 14:01Speaker 1: in this game. But I think the starting pitching matchup
- 14:04Speaker 1: and the bullpen rest edges fairly decidedly in favor of
- 14:07Speaker 1: Detroit in my opinion, and the money is coming in
- 14:09Speaker 1: on Detroit. Detroit is definitely better at home. I think
- 14:12Speaker 1: Detroit also has the better offense. Detroit's up from minus
- 14:15Speaker 1: one thirty eight to minus one, fifty seventy of the
- 14:18Speaker 1: cash on them fifty two tickets on Houston. So it
- 14:21Speaker 1: does look like Houston is public. So even though it
- 14:23Speaker 1: is a Detroit return home spot, I think I'm gonna
- 14:25Speaker 1: say I'll lean with the market in this one. It
- 14:28Speaker 1: leads to Detroit here offense. There isn't a huge disparity
- 14:32Speaker 1: here in the stats either, but I do think we
- 14:34Speaker 1: have to give the offensive edge to Detroit there all right.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Next up is Saint Louis and Miami, and I'm gonna
- 14:43Speaker 1: save the other best bets for the end, I guess.
- 14:45Speaker 1: But I did give out one bet already on Chicago
- 14:47Speaker 1: because they owned the Cubs, because they gave it out
- 14:49Speaker 1: on the fly. Miami. They were returning over from a
- 14:52Speaker 1: road trip as well. They just had a long road trip. Actually,
- 14:56Speaker 1: they went to Atlanta, Cleveland, and Boston, and they had
- 15:01Speaker 1: a pretty poor road trip. They only won three games
- 15:03Speaker 1: on the road trip. They won one game in each series, unfortunately,
- 15:07Speaker 1: winning dramatically with a three run home run or whatever,
- 15:11Speaker 1: a three run ninth with a home run in it
- 15:14Speaker 1: to beat the Red Sox after Garat Crochet put the
- 15:16Speaker 1: Red Sox in position to win that game, and the
- 15:19Speaker 1: Red Sox bullpen completely blew it, which I'm pissed about obviously,
- 15:24Speaker 1: because the Yankees wound up winning in the ninth inning
- 15:27Speaker 1: as well with a four run ninth, and the Red
- 15:29Speaker 1: Sox blew their game in the ninth, so Miami is
- 15:32Speaker 1: coming in with a little bit of momentum after they stopped.
- 15:35Speaker 1: They're a lost streak, but it's still a return home
- 15:38Speaker 1: spot for Miami. I don't know that Miami is really
- 15:40Speaker 1: gonna get up for a Saint Louis team where both
- 15:42Speaker 1: of these teams are out of it, so I don't
- 15:44Speaker 1: really know how important this game really is to either
- 15:48Speaker 1: team necessarily, so Miami, they might fall into that distracted
- 15:52Speaker 1: spot in the return home spot. It's not really a
- 15:54Speaker 1: great spot for Miami. As far as the bullpens are concerned,
- 15:58Speaker 1: Miami I believe used less of theirs yesterday and think
- 16:01Speaker 1: there's two relief pitchers yesterday, so their bullpen is less
- 16:04Speaker 1: used up right now that Saint Louis is. And remember
- 16:06Speaker 1: Saint Louis did trade a couple of their best relief
- 16:09Speaker 1: pitchers away at the trade deadline. Although generally Saint Louis
- 16:13Speaker 1: does actually have the better bullpen the ra in the
- 16:15Speaker 1: year fairly significantly so, so Saint Louis does have a
- 16:18Speaker 1: little bit of a better bullpen, but again the rest
- 16:21Speaker 1: Sinnario kind of cancels that out a little bit. As
- 16:24Speaker 1: far as the hitting is concerned, I don't think either
- 16:27Speaker 1: team is a particularly good offense at this point. Miami
- 16:29Speaker 1: actually has the slightly better offensive numbers this year at
- 16:32Speaker 1: this point, but it's not really that significant as far
- 16:35Speaker 1: as the pitching matchup. Matthew lieber Torre is pitching for
- 16:38Speaker 1: the Cardinals four point eighty R and the season one
- 16:41Speaker 1: point two to nine WHIP. His numbers are very mediocre,
- 16:45Speaker 1: but he is actually better on the road three point
- 16:47Speaker 1: five to nine roady ra This month, he has not
- 16:50Speaker 1: been good though. He's actually gone five starts in a
- 16:52Speaker 1: row now going back into last month, where he hasn't
- 16:54Speaker 1: even gone five innings in any of them. That's not
- 16:57Speaker 1: a good sign. This month five to four strike a
- 16:59Speaker 1: walker show not a good sign. So Libratore, he's not
- 17:03Speaker 1: getting you deep into games, man, He's not really getting
- 17:05Speaker 1: the job done right now. He's not in good form
- 17:07Speaker 1: in my opinion up against Miami. Miami has barely seen him.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Though Miami only has five at bats off him. Three
- 17:15Speaker 1: hitters have faced him. They're one for five with three
- 17:17Speaker 1: strike cuts against him. So Libratore does have the advantage
- 17:21Speaker 1: of the split being in favor of him being on
- 17:23Speaker 1: the road, and he has a little bit of an
- 17:25Speaker 1: unfamiliarity edge there, and like I say, when pitchers are
- 17:28Speaker 1: unfamiliar to the opposing lineup, sometimes the opposing lineup can
- 17:31Speaker 1: kind of struggle early on because they have to kind
- 17:34Speaker 1: of figure him out. You're a Perez is pitching for
- 17:36Speaker 1: the Marlins. He's a really good young pitcher man. I mean, obviously,
- 17:40Speaker 1: if you watch my show, you know that I am
- 17:42Speaker 1: a Perez fan. Three point five EIGHTRA point nine to
- 17:46Speaker 1: eight whip is really good. He has the advantage of
- 17:49Speaker 1: his home road splits as well, with a two point
- 17:51Speaker 1: eight RA at home. He's been really good at home.
- 17:54Speaker 1: He had one shaky start recently against Atlanta, but other
- 17:57Speaker 1: than that, he's been good recently as well. He's allowed well,
- 18:02Speaker 1: I would he allowed two or fewer earned runs and
- 18:04Speaker 1: a whole bunch of starts in a row up until
- 18:06Speaker 1: the last two starts, So yeah, he's I guess you
- 18:09Speaker 1: could argue he's falling out of for him a little bit,
- 18:11Speaker 1: but I would push back against that because even though
- 18:13Speaker 1: he allowed four earned runs against Cleveland last time out,
- 18:16Speaker 1: and I know Cleveland is a bad offense, but two
- 18:20Speaker 1: he allowed to of them runs in that game, so
- 18:21Speaker 1: he got kind of unlucky like when the hits came
- 18:25Speaker 1: against him and he had eight strikeouts and no walks,
- 18:28Speaker 1: so I think that indicates that his control was there.
- 18:30Speaker 1: So I don't think that was as bad as a
- 18:32Speaker 1: start as it looked like it was. So I think
- 18:33Speaker 1: he's kind of returning back into form here and up
- 18:37Speaker 1: against the Saint Louis Cardinals. Here, they don't have a
- 18:41Speaker 1: huge history against him either because he is a young guy.
- 18:43Speaker 1: They only have thirteen at bats, two hits off him,
- 18:46Speaker 1: seven strikeouts, one walk, a one fifty four average four
- 18:50Speaker 1: to forty five oh ps. I think Perez does match
- 18:53Speaker 1: up fairly well there as well, So looking at the
- 18:55Speaker 1: unfamiliarity aspect of this, I actually think an under maybe
- 18:59Speaker 1: is worth look, especially in the first five innings of
- 19:02Speaker 1: this game. Just going with the starting pitching matchup, we
- 19:04Speaker 1: do see seventy six percent of tickets on the over,
- 19:07Speaker 1: but eighty three percent of the cash coming in on
- 19:09Speaker 1: the under. I would probably agree with that, but the
- 19:11Speaker 1: total is down from eight to seven and a half
- 19:13Speaker 1: juice to the over. So the problem is you can't
- 19:17Speaker 1: really trust these bullpens that much. So if you do
- 19:19Speaker 1: want to go under, I mean a first five inning
- 19:21Speaker 1: kind of makes more sense even though you do get
- 19:23Speaker 1: the better of the key number seven on the full game.
- 19:26Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't really beat you up over it
- 19:28Speaker 1: if you did go that way. If you go under
- 19:30Speaker 1: in the first five innings, you should probably try to
- 19:32Speaker 1: get under four or so in the first five innings.
- 19:35Speaker 1: But I would worry a little bit about that, just
- 19:37Speaker 1: because I still don't know if you could really trust
- 19:39Speaker 1: libratory right now. That's kind of the issue there. And again,
- 19:42Speaker 1: if he doesn't go deep into the game, the bullpen
- 19:44Speaker 1: has to come in for Saint Louis somewhere around the
- 19:47Speaker 1: middle of the game. That makes the full game under
- 19:49Speaker 1: a little bit diceier. Uh. Miami also has the money
- 19:53Speaker 1: coming in on them on the side up for minus
- 19:55Speaker 1: one twenty seven of minus one forty six, fifty four
- 19:58Speaker 1: percent of the cash on them, fifty percent of the
- 20:00Speaker 1: tickets evenly split or excuse fifty per tickets on Saint Louis.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Excuse me, So the money is coming in on Miami.
- 20:07Speaker 1: I don't really disagree with that either. I think Miami
- 20:09Speaker 1: with a bullpen rest edge there with being at home
- 20:12Speaker 1: with your perez. I think being the better of the
- 20:14Speaker 1: two starters, I don't really disagree with the Miami side
- 20:17Speaker 1: either with the matchup, but I really really am rarely
- 20:20Speaker 1: gonna play on a team that's returning on from a
- 20:22Speaker 1: road trip, so I don't like that JC. What's up man?
- 20:25Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging out, Pete. What's up man, Pete mcgaha,
- 20:30Speaker 1: that's right? Uh make uh? I don't even know. I
- 20:34Speaker 1: was gonna try to come up with some make America
- 20:36Speaker 1: Great Again variation there, but I don't know. You're on Wait,
- 20:42Speaker 1: you said you're on over in this one. You went
- 20:46Speaker 1: over in the Miami game. Perez. Yeah, Perez is awesome. Man.
- 20:51Speaker 1: I don't really like the over im and I still
- 20:52Speaker 1: lean to the under. But if you got wait a minute,
- 20:55Speaker 1: what are you talking about? You got eight point five
- 20:56Speaker 1: eight and a half? What game you talk? What game
- 20:59Speaker 1: you're talking about? I don't even know this game wasn't
- 21:01Speaker 1: at eight and a half, right? I think it was
- 21:03Speaker 1: eight and then it dropped to seven and a half,
- 21:04Speaker 1: but I could be wrong about that. But anyway, thanks
- 21:07Speaker 1: for hanging out, man. I was yeah mcgaham mcgaha. I'm
- 21:11Speaker 1: trying to figure out what the acronym would be there,
- 21:16Speaker 1: Make Canada Great and Healthy again? How about that. Oh okay,
- 21:23Speaker 1: you took an alternate line. Yeah, that makes sense. You
- 21:25Speaker 1: have to pay more to get it, you actually, but
- 21:28Speaker 1: you took an alternate line over, so you're getting like
- 21:30Speaker 1: plus money on going over the eight and a half. Interesting?
- 21:34Speaker 1: Uh all right, yeah, I mean I don't really agree
- 21:38Speaker 1: with it generally as far as like I do think
- 21:39Speaker 1: the game is gonna be lower scoring. But yeah, okay,
- 21:43Speaker 1: all right, is that really a last name? Mcgaha? Mcgaha
- 21:48Speaker 1: sounds gayer if I say it that way, But uh,
- 21:50Speaker 1: Toronto at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is returning over from a road
- 21:55Speaker 1: trip as well, where they went to Milwaukee and the Cubs,
- 21:57Speaker 1: so Pittsburgh doesn't have a whole lot left to play for,
- 22:00Speaker 1: and they are coming off two big divisional series against
- 22:02Speaker 1: the two best teams of the division. So Pittsburgh did
- 22:05Speaker 1: step it up in some of those games. They played
- 22:07Speaker 1: pretty competitively against the Cubs. So for this game, it
- 22:10Speaker 1: does look like to me they might not really be
- 22:13Speaker 1: in the greatest spot here. This could be a distracted
- 22:15Speaker 1: return home spot for Pittsburgh here, even though Toronto is
- 22:19Speaker 1: still leading to Al East. I'm pretty sure Toronto potentially
- 22:22Speaker 1: could overlook Pittsburgh though, and Toronto just lost a three
- 22:25Speaker 1: game win streak with a loss yesterday against Texas. But
- 22:30Speaker 1: the question is losing win streak like that, does that
- 22:32Speaker 1: mean it's gonna hang them over into this next game?
- 22:34Speaker 1: Or are they gonna be focused again because they lost
- 22:38Speaker 1: so badly yesterday ten to four and they're starting a
- 22:40Speaker 1: road trip here. Does that mean Toronto's gonna show up
- 22:42Speaker 1: focused here? I don't know. I could see it going
- 22:45Speaker 1: either way. Man, It's actually a pretty difficult game to
- 22:47Speaker 1: gauge here. As far as the usage for the bullpens, yesterday,
- 22:52Speaker 1: we had three relief pitchers under the game for Pittsburgh. Yes,
- 22:54Speaker 1: they're actually four, I think is what that was. Toronto
- 22:56Speaker 1: used more of their bullpen though they used five relievers
- 23:00Speaker 1: it looks like yesterday. As far as the bullpens generally,
- 23:03Speaker 1: I think I'm still gonna give the edge to Toronto's bullpenal.
- 23:05Speaker 1: They've slipped quite a bit recently, but Pittsburgh's has kind
- 23:08Speaker 1: of fallen off as well. So not great bullpens here,
- 23:11Speaker 1: but Toronto does have the better of the two bullpens.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Toronto obviously has the better offense, Pittsburgh is essentially the
- 23:17Speaker 1: worst in all of baseball. Gousman pitching for Toronto here
- 23:22Speaker 1: three point seven to ninety RA, one point zero five
- 23:25Speaker 1: WHIP on the season, pretty good. Numbers better on the
- 23:27Speaker 1: road as well, three point four to eighty R on
- 23:30Speaker 1: the road. He's been in decent form this month of
- 23:32Speaker 1: the set a sixteen to three strike a walk ratio
- 23:35Speaker 1: three point sixty R, and he's gone seven innings a
- 23:38Speaker 1: piece in his last two starts, allowing two or fewer runs,
- 23:41Speaker 1: including a game at Course Field in another game against
- 23:44Speaker 1: the Cubs, so that's a decent sign. I guess He's
- 23:47Speaker 1: allowed three or fewer earn runs in all but one
- 23:49Speaker 1: start going all the way back, including his last start
- 23:52Speaker 1: in June. So Gousman, Yeah, he's in pretty good for
- 23:54Speaker 1: him right now. He's facing a really bad Pittsburgh lineup.
- 23:57Speaker 1: But interestingly, his numbers are not good against Pittsburgh, with
- 24:01Speaker 1: the only four of their hitters have seen it before
- 24:03Speaker 1: there they have fifty five at bats against him, they
- 24:05Speaker 1: have a three sixty four batting average in a one
- 24:08Speaker 1: thy sixty one ohps and four homers against it, with
- 24:11Speaker 1: two from Kiner Filaifa and four walks and thirteen strikeouts.
- 24:16Speaker 1: So Goussman actually doesn't have great matchup numbers here against Pittsburgh,
- 24:20Speaker 1: and he's going up against Paul Skeans, who, even though
- 24:23Speaker 1: he doesn't get a lot of runs support because Pittsburgh
- 24:26Speaker 1: blows and they probably like focus even less on their
- 24:29Speaker 1: offense when they know Skeens is pitching. Skeens, I mean,
- 24:32Speaker 1: I love Skeens. I feel bad for him that he's
- 24:35Speaker 1: in such a bad situation here on such a bad team.
- 24:38Speaker 1: But he's doing really well again this year two point
- 24:40Speaker 1: one to three ERA point nine to six whip. He's
- 24:43Speaker 1: been better at home too, with a one point seven
- 24:45Speaker 1: ERA at home. They're limiting his pitch count a bit, though,
- 24:48Speaker 1: and he's been a little bit worse recently, So I
- 24:51Speaker 1: don't really feel like throwing money or you know, just
- 24:54Speaker 1: giving out a play in Pittsburgh either here. But Skeens,
- 24:56Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he is Skeens. He's been good for
- 24:58Speaker 1: most of the season. They've been limiting his pitch count
- 25:01Speaker 1: a little bit recently, although he has thrown over ninety
- 25:04Speaker 1: pitches in his last three starts. But I think Pittsburgh
- 25:07Speaker 1: they really don't want to like totally burn him out though,
- 25:09Speaker 1: because he's still a young guy that throws one hundred
- 25:11Speaker 1: miles an hour. He does have a twenty to four
- 25:13Speaker 1: strike a walk race just still this month, which is good.
- 25:16Speaker 1: But he allowed four and runs a piece against Colorado
- 25:19Speaker 1: and Milwaukee, although I guess you could kind of you
- 25:23Speaker 1: could argue that, you know, you can kind of give
- 25:25Speaker 1: him a pass for those because one was a course
- 25:27Speaker 1: field and the other was against Milwaukee. He was just
- 25:30Speaker 1: a super hot team Milwaukee with a good offense, So
- 25:33Speaker 1: maybe you give him a pass for those outings Against
- 25:37Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, they basically haven't seen him before. Only
- 25:39Speaker 1: France has ever faced him before and he's one for
- 25:41Speaker 1: two with a strikeout. So based on that starting pitching matchup,
- 25:46Speaker 1: I could still see the argument that you could lean
- 25:49Speaker 1: towards Pittsburgh in the first five innings here, and that
- 25:51Speaker 1: might actually be if you want to play this game.
- 25:54Speaker 1: That might actually still be the way I would recommend
- 25:56Speaker 1: playing this, But I really don't love playing teams like
- 25:58Speaker 1: Pittsburgh on the return home spot there, like it would
- 26:01Speaker 1: be purely a starting pitching matchup edge that Skemes might
- 26:06Speaker 1: have there, But everybody knows how good Schemes is at
- 26:08Speaker 1: this point, so you never really get that much value
- 26:10Speaker 1: on him anymore. But Pittsburgh did drop from minus one
- 26:14Speaker 1: twenty seven to minus one oh seven on the money line,
- 26:16Speaker 1: sixty two percent of the cash on them, sixty one
- 26:19Speaker 1: percent of the tickets on Toronto. So Toronto is the
- 26:21Speaker 1: public team, which obviously that makes sense they will be because
- 26:25Speaker 1: Pittsburgh has a terrible record. Uh so maybe in this case,
- 26:30Speaker 1: I mean, you could take a flyer on Pittsburgh in
- 26:32Speaker 1: the first five. The money is also coming into the
- 26:34Speaker 1: under as the totals flip from a very low already
- 26:38Speaker 1: seven juice to the over to seven juice to the under,
- 26:40Speaker 1: fifty nine percent of tickets on the over ninety percent
- 26:42Speaker 1: of the cash on the under. I would worry about
- 26:45Speaker 1: the under here just because Gussman, I mean, his matchup
- 26:47Speaker 1: numbers just don't look good. But of course it is
- 26:50Speaker 1: excuse me, it is certainly possibly comes out to just
- 26:52Speaker 1: pitch as well. I mean, Pittsburgh's offense sucks, so I
- 26:56Speaker 1: mean you have to kind of weigh everything together there.
- 26:59Speaker 1: But it's a difficult game to figure out there. You
- 27:02Speaker 1: passed on that game, Yeah, I am also gonna give
- 27:04Speaker 1: out a pass on that game Seattle at Philadelphia this
- 27:09Speaker 1: is a game where Seattle. They played in the night
- 27:12Speaker 1: game last night in ESPN. And by the way, I
- 27:14Speaker 1: forgot to even mention on the show yesterday because I
- 27:16Speaker 1: completely forgot that that was the stupid Little League Classic game.
- 27:20Speaker 1: So it was not at the Mets stadium. It was
- 27:22Speaker 1: actually in whatever, like Williams Support, Pennsylvania or whatever the
- 27:26Speaker 1: hell it is, So it wasn't at the Mets home
- 27:29Speaker 1: stadium even though it was a Mets home game, semi
- 27:32Speaker 1: home game. I guess whatever Mets wound up winning the game,
- 27:36Speaker 1: it was a big game for Seattle. Nonetheless, stone teams
- 27:39Speaker 1: that come off that night game, I tend to look
- 27:41Speaker 1: to fade those teams because it's a big primetime game.
- 27:45Speaker 1: There's a lot of fanfare I guess around the it
- 27:47Speaker 1: being the Little League game and whatever. I think players
- 27:50Speaker 1: usually kind of hang around and sign stuff for the
- 27:53Speaker 1: Little League player like when being like a cool thing whatever.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Because it's during the Little League World Series that's going
- 27:58Speaker 1: on right now, so Seattle's coming off that and with
- 28:01Speaker 1: a short turnaround time, not huge travel, just going from
- 28:05Speaker 1: being in Pennsylvania already, or even if they were in
- 28:08Speaker 1: New York, it wouldn't really matter they're just going to Philadelphia,
- 28:10Speaker 1: so it's a short travel a short trip for Seattle here,
- 28:15Speaker 1: but again short turnaround time there with Philadelphia having a
- 28:21Speaker 1: little bit more time to rest here. But Philadelphia is
- 28:24Speaker 1: returning over from road trips, so it's not like Philadelphia
- 28:26Speaker 1: is in a good spot either. They went to Texas, Cincinnati,
- 28:29Speaker 1: Washington on the road trip, so the last leg of
- 28:32Speaker 1: this trip isn't that long, but again, Phillias are turning
- 28:34Speaker 1: over from a road trip here, so it is a
- 28:36Speaker 1: little bit of a bad spot for both teams. So
- 28:38Speaker 1: I can't really take you know, like, sometimes I'll look
- 28:43Speaker 1: at the situation be like, holy shit, the situation's really
- 28:45Speaker 1: bad for one team. I want to play on the
- 28:47Speaker 1: other team. But in this case, it's pretty bad for
- 28:49Speaker 1: both teams. And again, the return home spot contend to
- 28:52Speaker 1: be a bit of a distraction spot. So when both
- 28:55Speaker 1: teams are kind of in bad spots like that, I
- 28:57Speaker 1: think it can kind of affect the hitting more than
- 28:59Speaker 1: anything else. So I kind of tend to think that
- 29:01Speaker 1: the hitting might actually be a little bit poorer in
- 29:03Speaker 1: this game. So I'm like, I don't know, maybe an
- 29:05Speaker 1: under kind of makes sense in this game, But you
- 29:07Speaker 1: got to take everything that's going on in this game,
- 29:09Speaker 1: like maybe I look at every piece of the matchup
- 29:12Speaker 1: and maybe like I weigh one part of the matchup
- 29:14Speaker 1: too much over another. Because I'm not having a great
- 29:16Speaker 1: baseball season, I'll just put it out there. But I've
- 29:18Speaker 1: been decent recently, at least in baseball is usually good
- 29:22Speaker 1: for me. Philadelphia has the worst of the two bullpens.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Their bullpen's not great. These five relief pitchers. Yesterday, Seattle
- 29:29Speaker 1: only used two, so Seattle does have a bullpen advantage.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Philadelphia has the better offense, and they're pretty good at
- 29:35Speaker 1: home too, so Philadelphia does have the offensive edge on
- 29:39Speaker 1: the surface. Between the two starters, I prefer Logan Gilbert
- 29:42Speaker 1: off for Seattle out of the two. He has good
- 29:44Speaker 1: numbers on the season three point three to one ERA,
- 29:47Speaker 1: point nine to eight WHIP and even a whip below one.
- 29:50Speaker 1: I mean, that's really really good man, basically elite. But
- 29:53Speaker 1: Gilbert is not as good away from Seattle. I mean,
- 29:56Speaker 1: every Seattle pitcher is pretty much better at home. He
- 29:59Speaker 1: is pretty significant home road splits four point eight six
- 30:02Speaker 1: ERA in the road would make me a little bit
- 30:05Speaker 1: hesitant to want to back Seattle. Here is because he
- 30:07Speaker 1: isn't as good on the road. He is in pretty
- 30:09Speaker 1: good for him recently though, three starts this month, he
- 30:12Speaker 1: has a nineteen to five strike a walk ratio three
- 30:14Speaker 1: point one two ERA. It's against bad offenses though, Texas, White,
- 30:18Speaker 1: Sox Baltimore, so he's stepping way up in class to
- 30:21Speaker 1: have to face this Philadelphia lineup here. But he is
- 30:25Speaker 1: still in good form right now, so Ken, you got
- 30:27Speaker 1: to kind of weigh those conflicting factors there. But his
- 30:29Speaker 1: numbers are actually good in his career against the Phillies
- 30:32Speaker 1: hitters seventy eight at bats, he has a ridiculous twenty
- 30:35Speaker 1: six to two strike a walk ratio against them two
- 30:38Speaker 1: point five average, a lot of five forty six ops.
- 30:41Speaker 1: So Gilbert may actually do fairly well here in this
- 30:44Speaker 1: game against Philly, going up against ron Your Suarez, who
- 30:48Speaker 1: if you watch my show and you know that, I
- 30:49Speaker 1: don't totally buy Suarez. Like beginning of last year, he
- 30:52Speaker 1: was really hot. He had a really hot stretch this year.
- 30:55Speaker 1: But I don't think he's quite as good as that.
- 30:57Speaker 1: I think he's okay. I think he's still not quite
- 31:00Speaker 1: as good as his numbers are this year. Three point
- 31:02Speaker 1: two eighty RA. His whip is up to one point two,
- 31:05Speaker 1: so it is climbing a bit. He's actually worse at
- 31:07Speaker 1: home as well, four point four to seven e RA
- 31:10Speaker 1: at home. So again, as far as the total is
- 31:14Speaker 1: concerned on this game, I mean, I would be pretty
- 31:17Speaker 1: hesitant to want to try to go with an under
- 31:19Speaker 1: in this game. Suarez is not a good form right
- 31:22Speaker 1: now either. He's the pitchers in the worst form. As
- 31:25Speaker 1: I said, his numbers are starting to get worse. He
- 31:27Speaker 1: does have an eleven to two strike up walk race
- 31:29Speaker 1: here this month, so he's not walking guys, but he's
- 31:31Speaker 1: allowing a lot of hard contact. He's allowed a lot
- 31:33Speaker 1: of runs, five or more on runs and two straight
- 31:36Speaker 1: starts against Baltimore, which is not a good sign, and
- 31:39Speaker 1: then at Cincinnati, which I know is a hitter friendly park,
- 31:42Speaker 1: but he's still allowed ten hits in five and a
- 31:44Speaker 1: third innings in that game, in addition to those two
- 31:47Speaker 1: walks that he issues. He's really not an excellent form
- 31:50Speaker 1: right now at all. Up against Seattle, his numbers are
- 31:54Speaker 1: pretty mediocre and forty at bats two seventy five average allowed,
- 31:57Speaker 1: seven eighty five ops. Has a bit on the high
- 32:00Speaker 1: side thirteen to two strike a walk RACEO is pretty good,
- 32:03Speaker 1: but matchup numbers I think kind of point towards Seattle
- 32:06Speaker 1: being the having the starting pitching edge here as well.
- 32:10Speaker 1: So I mean, all that being said, I guess I
- 32:13Speaker 1: would give on a slight lean on Seattle in this
- 32:15Speaker 1: game because I do think they have the pitching edge
- 32:16Speaker 1: kind of across the board in this game, Philly is
- 32:19Speaker 1: up for minus one ten to minus one twelve. But
- 32:21Speaker 1: you know, Philadelphia is going to be a public team.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Even though Seattle does have those offensive players like Raleigh
- 32:26Speaker 1: that tend to get a lot of public attention, Philadelphia
- 32:29Speaker 1: they're just kind of always a public team. They're always
- 32:32Speaker 1: kind of a name team with a like known for
- 32:34Speaker 1: having a good offense. Sixty six percent of tickets only
- 32:37Speaker 1: sixty five percent of the cash on Philly, so they
- 32:39Speaker 1: are the public team. The money seemed like it dropped
- 32:43Speaker 1: the total down from eight to seven and a half,
- 32:45Speaker 1: but we see well eighty eight percent of tickets eight
- 32:47Speaker 1: to nine percent of the cash on the over, so
- 32:49Speaker 1: the over is definitely a public type of play there.
- 32:53Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to touch the total in this game, really,
- 32:55Speaker 1: I mean it's the books are putting out a low
- 32:57Speaker 1: total for a reason, because they think this may actually
- 32:59Speaker 1: be a starting pitching duel in some ways. But I
- 33:02Speaker 1: would not want to risk an under in that game
- 33:04Speaker 1: at all. I think if you want to play that game,
- 33:06Speaker 1: Seattle would be the way to go. Baltimore and my
- 33:09Speaker 1: bust In Red Sox. I'm gonna skip for a minute
- 33:11Speaker 1: because that is gonna be one of my plays for
- 33:13Speaker 1: the best Bets segment. Trying to get this done. Man, Monday,
- 33:17Speaker 1: I usually have shorter we can usually have a shorter
- 33:21Speaker 1: show on Monday. But still a lot of baseball games here.
- 33:25Speaker 1: White Sox at Atlanta. I mean, this is a bad game, dude.
- 33:29Speaker 1: I mean you got two teams that are totally out
- 33:30Speaker 1: of it. Trying to gauge motivation in a game like
- 33:33Speaker 1: this is difficult. Although Atlanta is actually playing some pretty
- 33:36Speaker 1: good baseball right now, winning five games in a row
- 33:38Speaker 1: and coming off a sweep of Cleveland, but they're returning
- 33:41Speaker 1: home from a road trip that took them to the
- 33:43Speaker 1: Mets in Cleveland and they won all but the first
- 33:45Speaker 1: game of that entire road trip, and now they're returning
- 33:48Speaker 1: home to face a very bad White Sox team. So
- 33:50Speaker 1: it could be a distraction spot for Atlanta here man
- 33:53Speaker 1: returning home, nothing really to play for. You're playing one
- 33:56Speaker 1: of the worst teams in baseball. I mean, probably doesn't
- 33:59Speaker 1: look like that Atlanta's really gonna get up for the
- 34:02Speaker 1: White Sox. They're in the middle of a road trip.
- 34:05Speaker 1: They just get swept by Kansas City. The White Sox
- 34:08Speaker 1: I believe, have lost eight games in a row at
- 34:10Speaker 1: Kansas City. Now, which I forgot to mention yesterday, but
- 34:13Speaker 1: they really really played poorly in Kansas City. But the
- 34:15Speaker 1: White Sox have been really bad last couple of years anyway,
- 34:18Speaker 1: So they're continuing a road trip. Maybe it'll be good
- 34:21Speaker 1: for the White Sox to just get out of Kansas
- 34:23Speaker 1: City and just get a fresh start here. Basically, you know,
- 34:27Speaker 1: in some aspects, but Atlanta has got to have the
- 34:31Speaker 1: matchup edge in this game, though, I mean, they're obviously
- 34:33Speaker 1: still the better team. They have the better talent, Atlanta
- 34:36Speaker 1: has the better offense, they have a better bullpen as well,
- 34:38Speaker 1: and they have the better starting pitcher as well. So
- 34:40Speaker 1: Atlanta basically has the edge across the board in this game,
- 34:44Speaker 1: except for the fact that they're returning home from a
- 34:45Speaker 1: road trip. But the matchup edge is all one sided
- 34:49Speaker 1: on Atlanta. Yendriss Gomez is pitching for the White Sox.
- 34:53Speaker 1: If that's even how you pronounce it, Jendres Gomez. I
- 34:58Speaker 1: would not trust this guy at all for the White
- 35:00Speaker 1: so five point five six ERA, one point five to
- 35:02Speaker 1: four whip obviously not good numbers here. He's been bad
- 35:05Speaker 1: on the road this year, nine point eight two ERA
- 35:08Speaker 1: on the road. He's still a young guy. He was
- 35:11Speaker 1: on Uh, he's been on a bunch of different teams.
- 35:13Speaker 1: He was on the Yankees for a few seasons and
- 35:15Speaker 1: just made very limited appearances. Started this season with the Yankees,
- 35:19Speaker 1: and then I guess he got traded to the Dodgers,
- 35:21Speaker 1: and then he got traded to the White Sox. So
- 35:23Speaker 1: he's been all over the place here, really stepping down. Man,
- 35:27Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be really excited to
- 35:28Speaker 1: be on the White Sox after he was on the
- 35:31Speaker 1: Yankees and the Dodgers. Oh, I was on those two
- 35:33Speaker 1: contenders and now I'm on this team. Oh my god.
- 35:37Speaker 1: He's only had one really bad outing with the White
- 35:39Speaker 1: Sox so far, the which was against the Cobs, a
- 35:41Speaker 1: good hitting lineup, and other than that, he's actually been
- 35:44Speaker 1: fairly good, surprisingly at his last outing, he actually went
- 35:47Speaker 1: five innings. He actually had a full starter's workload in
- 35:50Speaker 1: that game, even though he's been a relief pitcher for
- 35:52Speaker 1: like his entire major league career. I think seven to
- 35:56Speaker 1: one strike a walk ration, only allowed one hit and
- 35:59Speaker 1: one and run against Detroit. I mean, that's that's a
- 36:01Speaker 1: pretty impressive outing. I mean, not gonna lie so he does.
- 36:05Speaker 1: He does apparently have some ability here. Man, that's not
- 36:07Speaker 1: too bad. He's facing Atlanta now, who doesn't have as
- 36:10Speaker 1: good of an offense as Detroit does. And Lanta's got
- 36:14Speaker 1: four hitters who have seen him before. They're only one
- 36:16Speaker 1: for six off and three strikeouts and two walks, no
- 36:19Speaker 1: extra base hits, so very limited sample size that Gomez
- 36:23Speaker 1: has actually pitched well against them. So is it possible
- 36:26Speaker 1: that Gomez actually pitches well in this game? It is possible.
- 36:31Speaker 1: On the surface, it looks like it's a complete mismatch
- 36:33Speaker 1: between him and Strider though, because Strider is the much
- 36:35Speaker 1: more proven pitcher. But Stryder's numbers are really starting to
- 36:38Speaker 1: fall apart. Like he seemed like he was back, and
- 36:41Speaker 1: for him, he was injured coming into the season, and
- 36:44Speaker 1: then it seemed like he had gotten himself totally back
- 36:46Speaker 1: on track, but recently he's been awful again. Is he
- 36:49Speaker 1: raised up to four point six' nine one point three
- 36:51Speaker 1: to six whip By no means DO i Think strider
- 36:54Speaker 1: is as bad as those numbers would. Suggest right? Now
- 36:57Speaker 1: he is better at home three point seven to forty.
- 36:59Speaker 1: ERA i still Think strider is, good but his starts
- 37:02Speaker 1: this month have been. Atrocious he hasn't gone five innings
- 37:05Speaker 1: in either. Start he's given up five home runs this,
- 37:08Speaker 1: month still has eight strikeouts but three. Walks he's gonna
- 37:11Speaker 1: got thirteen eor in runs and eight and two thirds,
- 37:13Speaker 1: innings nineteen. HITS i, mean he's getting absolutely. Rocked but
- 37:17Speaker 1: it was Against milwaukee and The, mets and we know
- 37:20Speaker 1: obviously The White sox are a way worse offense than those,
- 37:23Speaker 1: two so he is stepping way down in class to
- 37:26Speaker 1: face This White sox. Lineup but The White sox limited
- 37:29Speaker 1: playing time for, sure only three inters have seen, him
- 37:31Speaker 1: but they're actually three for ten off, them with a
- 37:34Speaker 1: couple of, doubles but also six strikeouts and no. Walks so,
- 37:37Speaker 1: again very small sample. Size take what you will away from,
- 37:41Speaker 1: that BUT i mean my instinct on this is kind
- 37:46Speaker 1: of that just the fact That gomez has pitched a
- 37:48Speaker 1: little bit. Better these teams kind Of strider could bounce
- 37:53Speaker 1: back a little bit against this bad. OFFENSE i, mean
- 37:56Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot of familiarity with these. Pitchers
- 37:59Speaker 1: doesn't under actually makes sense in this? GAME i, mean
- 38:02Speaker 1: the money seems like it came in on the over
- 38:03Speaker 1: a little, bit up to eight and a half juice
- 38:05Speaker 1: to the over eighty percent tickets eighty three percent of the.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Cash But i'm thinking, OVER i, mean excuse, me under
- 38:11Speaker 1: might be a better way of looking at this. Game
- 38:13Speaker 1: but maybe you want to do it in the first
- 38:15Speaker 1: five innings BECAUSE i don't really love these. Bullpens atlanta
- 38:19Speaker 1: used four relief pitchers. Yesterday The White sox all used.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Threes their usage wasn't that. High But White sox pullpen's
- 38:28Speaker 1: really bad, Too so maybe an under in the first
- 38:32Speaker 1: five actually kind of makes sense in this. Game atlanta
- 38:35Speaker 1: obviously is a huge, favorite and probably unjustifiably huge down
- 38:39Speaker 1: for minus one ninety five to minus one ninety seventy
- 38:42Speaker 1: eight percent of tickets only sixty three percent of the.
- 38:44Speaker 1: Cash it's because it's stride or, against you, know basically
- 38:47Speaker 1: a converted. Reliever So atlanta basically has to be favored like.
- 38:50Speaker 1: That BUT i don't know if it's. Justified, MAN i,
- 38:53Speaker 1: Mean atlanta's been so bad this season record, wise it's
- 38:56Speaker 1: probably not. Justified even, though as we keep Saying atlanta
- 39:00Speaker 1: talent wise and the run differential, wise they are actually
- 39:02Speaker 1: better than the record makes them. Look texas is At Kansas.
- 39:05Speaker 1: City Kansas city staying at, home playing pretty decent baseball right.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Now they're still kind of in the hunt, actually So
- 39:12Speaker 1: Kansas city still has something to play, for so Does.
- 39:14Speaker 1: TEXAS i think they're both kind of on the on
- 39:17Speaker 1: the verge, there maybe getting back into the playoff race.
- 39:21Speaker 1: There Kansas city has won five of their last. Six
- 39:23Speaker 1: they did just sweep The White. SOX i don't think
- 39:25Speaker 1: they're going to be feeling high on themselves after sweeping
- 39:28Speaker 1: The White. Sox texas coming in after breaking a four
- 39:32Speaker 1: game loss street they Beat toronto. Yesterday they are having
- 39:35Speaker 1: to travel From toronto To Kansas city, though so it's
- 39:37Speaker 1: not exactly a great travel spot For. Texas but they
- 39:40Speaker 1: did end their losing momentum, there so that might Help
- 39:42Speaker 1: texas a little. Bit as far as The bullpens are,
- 39:46Speaker 1: Concerned texas used three relief pitchers. Yesterday Kansas city use,
- 39:51Speaker 1: four AND i would Say texas does have the better
- 39:53Speaker 1: of the two. Bullpens there fifth in bullpenny ra so
- 39:57Speaker 1: they are the better of the. Two Kansas city. Ninth
- 40:00Speaker 1: texas And Kansas city both have really weak offenses. Too
- 40:04Speaker 1: texas is fourth worst offense in all of. Baseball Kansas
- 40:08Speaker 1: city is, whatever that is seventh worst than all of.
- 40:11Speaker 1: Baseball so we have a couple of pretty good bullpends
- 40:13Speaker 1: a couple of bad, offenses which makes you think maybe
- 40:16Speaker 1: you want to look towards an under in this. Game
- 40:18Speaker 1: but the totals at nine and a, half which is
- 40:20Speaker 1: kind of disrespecting the two starting, pitchers and maybe Maybe
- 40:26Speaker 1: lighter deserves some. DISRESPECT i don't know for other rangers,
- 40:29Speaker 1: Here Jack, Lighter, zach what's up, Man? Zach The royals
- 40:33Speaker 1: fan of, Course Jack. LIGHTER i mean his three point
- 40:37Speaker 1: nine to four is, good but his one point three
- 40:39Speaker 1: to four whip is not. Good he is a guy with.
- 40:41Speaker 1: TALENT i mean he could throw, hard but he walks
- 40:43Speaker 1: way too many. Guys, Man he's got a four point
- 40:46Speaker 1: SIX era on the, road which is not. Good this
- 40:49Speaker 1: is also a picture friendly, park by the, way which
- 40:51Speaker 1: makes the under seem even more tempting. Here But Jack
- 40:54Speaker 1: lighter has been in bad. Form. Man he's only made
- 40:57Speaker 1: it five innings once in any start this month as
- 40:59Speaker 1: a thirteen and nine strike a walk. Ratio even though
- 41:02Speaker 1: he hasn't allowed many, runs he's allowed two or fewer
- 41:04Speaker 1: in every. Outing he's just not getting deep into. Outings
- 41:07Speaker 1: he's walking way too many. Guys he's walked three or
- 41:10Speaker 1: more in every start but his most recent, one going
- 41:13Speaker 1: all the way back into basically Early. July so that's
- 41:17Speaker 1: a pretty bad. Sign lighter is not in good form right.
- 41:19Speaker 1: Now he is Facing Kansas, city, though which is a
- 41:22Speaker 1: really bad. Lineup where are we at? Here come, on
- 41:26Speaker 1: where's the K? C what there? Are? Uh, so going
- 41:29Speaker 1: up Against Kansas City lighter he actually hasn't done that
- 41:31Speaker 1: well against them. Either in twenty one at bats they
- 41:34Speaker 1: have three home runs off, him though of course two
- 41:36Speaker 1: of them Are perez three point thirty three average allowed
- 41:39Speaker 1: one two forty eight oh ps and only a two
- 41:41Speaker 1: to two strike a walk. Ratio So lighter has not
- 41:44Speaker 1: been very good Against Kansas. City he's going up Against Michael,
- 41:47Speaker 1: walker WHO i think probably does have the starting pitching
- 41:50Speaker 1: edge here three point three FIVE era one point one five,
- 41:53Speaker 1: whips so he is the pitcher that has the way better.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Whip he has the better of the splits home and road.
- 41:58Speaker 1: Too he's better at home two point six seventy are
- 42:00Speaker 1: eight at. Home he's also in the better form and
- 42:03Speaker 1: than eleven to two strike a walk ratio this. Month
- 42:05Speaker 1: he doesn't really strike guys, out but not putting a
- 42:08Speaker 1: lot of guys on. Base he's allowed two or fewer
- 42:10Speaker 1: on runs in six straight starts. Now his team has
- 42:13Speaker 1: actually won four starts in a row behind, him even
- 42:16Speaker 1: though they usually don't give him any run, support so
- 42:19Speaker 1: that's a decent. Sye walka is in pretty good for
- 42:21Speaker 1: him right. Now he is pitching well Against. Texas he
- 42:24Speaker 1: has mediocre numbers in nine to nine at, bats twenty
- 42:27Speaker 1: five to seven strike a walk, ratio two point fifty
- 42:30Speaker 1: three batting average, allowed which is pretty, low and seven
- 42:32Speaker 1: to sixty seven oh ps is a little bit high
- 42:34Speaker 1: because he's allowed four home runs against, them two to
- 42:38Speaker 1: the Jockstrap Jock. PETERSON i hope that is his, nickname
- 42:42Speaker 1: Jocketch Jock. Peterson SO i Think waka does have the
- 42:46Speaker 1: starting pitching edge here, Though SO i MEAN i would
- 42:51Speaker 1: kind of be tempted to slightly lean To Kansas city
- 42:54Speaker 1: in the first five innings BECAUSE i think that's maybe
- 42:56Speaker 1: the biggest edge that exists in this, game is that's
- 42:58Speaker 1: starting pitching matchup For Kansas, city plus they have the travel.
- 43:02Speaker 1: Edge but the money's coming in On. Texas Kidsas city
- 43:04Speaker 1: up for minus one twenty or down for minus one
- 43:06Speaker 1: twenty seven To minuts won twenty six on the money,
- 43:08Speaker 1: line excuse, me sixty percent of tickets on, them but
- 43:11Speaker 1: seventy four percent of the cash On. Texas so the
- 43:13Speaker 1: money is coming in On. Texas pretty strong market read
- 43:16Speaker 1: actually On. Texas, Again i'm staying away from this. ONE
- 43:20Speaker 1: i don't want to recommend. It and the total went
- 43:22Speaker 1: up a little bit to nine and a, half which
- 43:24Speaker 1: seems crazy high to me for these two bad, offenses
- 43:27Speaker 1: two decent, Bullpens and really the only component THAT i
- 43:31Speaker 1: see really being against an under here is the fact
- 43:33Speaker 1: That lighter isn't very. Good but we have sixty six
- 43:35Speaker 1: percent of tickets ninety three percent of the cash on
- 43:38Speaker 1: cash on the, over so the over is taking. Money
- 43:42Speaker 1: do with that information what you. Will that's not gonna
- 43:45Speaker 1: be a play for. Me Milwaukee Chicago, CUBS i told
- 43:49Speaker 1: you what that night game in the double head or
- 43:50Speaker 1: we don't even know who the starters. Are we don't
- 43:52Speaker 1: know what the bullpen scenario is going to be like
- 43:53Speaker 1: after they play the first, game so almost impossible to
- 43:56Speaker 1: handicap that. Game dodgers At, Colorado oh, Boy, COLORADO i,
- 44:03Speaker 1: mean we know how bad they, are even though they're
- 44:04Speaker 1: a little bit better at. Home they actually just swept or,
- 44:07Speaker 1: no they didn't Sweet, arizona excusing they won three to
- 44:09Speaker 1: four Against, arizona But colorado's actually won five of their
- 44:12Speaker 1: last six. Games colorado actually playing a little bit better baseball.
- 44:17Speaker 1: Recently but The dodgers obviously have something to play. For
- 44:20Speaker 1: The dodgers are trying to win this. Division colorado the
- 44:24Speaker 1: only thing they have to play for is to spoil
- 44:25Speaker 1: The dodgers', season but of course that is a motivating Factor.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Colorado with The dodgers coming into their, Place colorado probably
- 44:32Speaker 1: will show up with motivation as. Well but The dodgers
- 44:36Speaker 1: may not Overlook colorado's because they do need to keep.
- 44:38Speaker 1: Winning but they are maybe in a letdown spot, too
- 44:40Speaker 1: because The dodgers just Swept San diego to retake the
- 44:43Speaker 1: lead in THE Nl, west, big big series that they
- 44:46Speaker 1: just Swept, Man so The dodgers could definitely be in
- 44:49Speaker 1: a letdown, spot even though a lot of times the
- 44:52Speaker 1: team will carry momentum out on the. Road That padre
- 44:54Speaker 1: series is way bigger than This Rocky series, is so
- 44:58Speaker 1: it's not really the greatest spot for The dodgers. Here
- 45:01Speaker 1: both bullpens are not, great although The dodgers two of
- 45:03Speaker 1: the better bullpen out of the, two even though it's
- 45:05Speaker 1: not very. Good they used four relievers yesterday five. Relievers
- 45:08Speaker 1: maybe that was That colorado used about the same amount
- 45:11Speaker 1: of their, bullpen which is a terrible. Bullpen so you
- 45:14Speaker 1: got to give The dodgers obviously they have the offensive.
- 45:16Speaker 1: Edge they have the start starting pitching edge as, well
- 45:18Speaker 1: and you have to give them the bullpen edge as.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Well So dodgers do have the edge across the. Board
- 45:23Speaker 1: but obviously they're gonna be a huge. Favorite. Here yamamoto
- 45:26Speaker 1: is pitching for. Them he is one of their best.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Starters two point eight FOUR era one point zero nine.
- 45:31Speaker 1: Whip he's really. Good, obviously he's actually better on the
- 45:34Speaker 1: road two point two EIGHTY r in the, road but
- 45:37Speaker 1: this is Cors, field but he did pitch there not
- 45:39Speaker 1: too long, ago and he actually shut them out for
- 45:41Speaker 1: five innings and only allowed one, hit six, strikeouts one,
- 45:44Speaker 1: walk so he seemed unfazed by pitching an elevation the
- 45:47Speaker 1: recent time that he was. There his most recent star
- 45:50Speaker 1: was actually, bad inexplicably bad At. Anaheim he gave up
- 45:54Speaker 1: six earned runs on five walks in four and two,
- 45:58Speaker 1: Thirds so he had a pretty bad start one Against.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Anaheim but to me it looks like a little bit
- 46:02Speaker 1: of a blip because he was pitching pretty well before.
- 46:05Speaker 1: That he'd allowed three or fewer earned runs in every
- 46:07Speaker 1: start going all the way back into Mid. June it
- 46:10Speaker 1: was the last time he actually had a bad start
- 46:12Speaker 1: besides that, one SO i think he will bounce back.
- 46:15Speaker 1: Here but, again it does look like kind of a
- 46:17Speaker 1: spot where The dodgers might kind of lapse and focus
- 46:21Speaker 1: a little bit A yamamoto's numbers against The rockies are only.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Okay in twenty two at bats seven to zero strike
- 46:27Speaker 1: a walk ratio is. Good to seventy three batting average
- 46:31Speaker 1: is you, know mediocre, really and seven to twenty seven
- 46:34Speaker 1: ops kind of mediocre as. Well if you want to
- 46:36Speaker 1: look for a player Prop tovar Or tovar is six
- 46:40Speaker 1: for seven when the home run off him that's in
- 46:43Speaker 1: a Double those are kind of. Ridiculous stats man that
- 46:45Speaker 1: he's Hit yamamoto that, well don't know how that's the,
- 46:48Speaker 1: case but still A yamamoto is the better of these two.
- 46:51Speaker 1: PITCHERS i, mean there's no doubt about. That up Against Kyle,
- 46:54Speaker 1: friedland who as far as The rockies pitchers, go he's
- 46:57Speaker 1: actually one of the better. Ones five point one one
- 47:00Speaker 1: point four to nine whip not awful as far As
- 47:03Speaker 1: rocky standards, go but he does pitch worse in course
- 47:06Speaker 1: field with a six point five TWO era here at.
- 47:09Speaker 1: Home not. Good coming up a nice seven and a
- 47:12Speaker 1: third inning shutout Against Saint, louis although he doesn't really
- 47:15Speaker 1: strike a lot of guys. Out he has a six'
- 47:17Speaker 1: four strike a walk ratio over his last couple, of
- 47:19Speaker 1: starts which isn't. Very good failed to go five innings
- 47:22Speaker 1: in the two starts prior to that most, Recent ONE
- 47:25Speaker 1: so i don't know if we're ready To say freeland's
- 47:27Speaker 1: really in good form or anything. Like that and going
- 47:29Speaker 1: up Against the dodgers obviously is not gonna, be easy
- 47:32Speaker 1: as numbers are mediocre. Against Them the dodgers have seen
- 47:35Speaker 1: a lot. Of them one hundred and thirty seven, at
- 47:36Speaker 1: bats thirty five to ten strike a walk ratios, all
- 47:39Speaker 1: right two fifty five average allowed, us alright and eight
- 47:42Speaker 1: twenty four oh ps is. Pretty High the dodgers have
- 47:46Speaker 1: twelve doubles and eight home runs, off him So the
- 47:48Speaker 1: dodgers have hit him for some. Power there, SO again
- 47:53Speaker 1: i wouldn't really want to Fee the, dodgers here even
- 47:55Speaker 1: though it does look like a spot where they may
- 47:56Speaker 1: be in a little bit of a, letdown spot but
- 47:58Speaker 1: they're up for my two forty minus two seventy five on.
- 48:02Speaker 1: THE road, i mean you have one of the best
- 48:03Speaker 1: teams in baseball against the absolute warst so it does,
- 48:07Speaker 1: Make SENSE but i don't think there's any way that
- 48:09Speaker 1: you could Play the dodgers. Like that ninety percent, of
- 48:11Speaker 1: tickets ninety seven percent of the cash. On them total's
- 48:15Speaker 1: gone up a little bit from ten and a half
- 48:16Speaker 1: to eleven all the way juice to the over actually
- 48:19Speaker 1: seventy five percent, of tickets only sixty four percent of
- 48:21Speaker 1: the cash on. The over probably wouldn't want to do,
- 48:24Speaker 1: that either just because there is the Possibility that yamamoto
- 48:27Speaker 1: does come out to pitch, well HERE although i wouldn't
- 48:30Speaker 1: really want to do anything with an under here Because
- 48:32Speaker 1: the dodgers could potentially score. A, lot STILL but i
- 48:35Speaker 1: would worry About the dodgers hitting a, little bit just
- 48:37Speaker 1: because they might be distracted off that good series that they.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Just HAD so, i, mean still if you really have
- 48:44Speaker 1: to play, this game probably the only way that you
- 48:46Speaker 1: can really play it Is the dodgers to go over their.
- 48:48Speaker 1: Team total, but again because, THEY'RE distracted i might worry.
- 48:51Speaker 1: About that Cincinnati. At anaheim anaheim is staying On the.
- 48:55Speaker 1: West coast they are technically returning home from a road
- 48:58Speaker 1: trip from northern californ You, from sacramento from Playing, the
- 49:02Speaker 1: a's but not really a huge travel spot, For THEM
- 49:04Speaker 1: so i don't think they're really gonna be in that
- 49:07Speaker 1: like terrible unfocused about returning from a Road. Trip cincinnati
- 49:11Speaker 1: they're probably gonna. Letdown spot they Just busted milwaukee's. Streak
- 49:15Speaker 1: man that was a, huge win huge dramatic Win for.
- 49:18Speaker 1: Cincinnati yesterday they do get to carry that momentum out on, the,
- 49:21Speaker 1: road though and sometimes you are focused when you're going on.
- 49:24Speaker 1: The road cincinnati is still trying to fight for a
- 49:26Speaker 1: wild card, spot here so they do have some motivation
- 49:29Speaker 1: in that respect For his anaheim basically has nothing left
- 49:32Speaker 1: to play. For here but is? THAT enough i, don't
- 49:35Speaker 1: know because it does seem like it's kind of a
- 49:37Speaker 1: letdown Spot for cincinnati here the travel spot a little bit, Worse,
- 49:40Speaker 1: there nate what's? Up man, thank you sir Toad of
- 49:45Speaker 1: i'm a? House toad what toad of the house toad
- 49:48Speaker 1: of all, The Toads? Brady, singer, well actually, hold on
- 49:53Speaker 1: let me look at the bullpen. Usage, First here cincinnati
- 49:57Speaker 1: they have the better of the. Two bullpens they didn't
- 49:59Speaker 1: used too much of their. Bullpen yesterday anaheim didn't use
- 50:02Speaker 1: a whole lot of. Theirs either the use, five relievers
- 50:05Speaker 1: three of them only through seven pitches, a piece so
- 50:08Speaker 1: any of those relievers might show up again in. This
- 50:10Speaker 1: one But still cincinnati has the better of the. Two
- 50:12Speaker 1: bullpends anaheims. Is bad as far as, the offense these offenses,
- 50:16Speaker 1: are Close although anaheim has a slight offensive edge based
- 50:19Speaker 1: on the. Stats Here brady singer is pitching For the
- 50:23Speaker 1: reds here four point three TO one era in the
- 50:26Speaker 1: season one point three TO. One whip his numbers aren't great.
- 50:29Speaker 1: This year he's actually been really bad on, the road
- 50:31Speaker 1: Even though cincinnati's home stadium is pretty hit, her friendly
- 50:35Speaker 1: but he's been awful on the road for. Some reason
- 50:38Speaker 1: six point two era in, the road. Pretty bad he's
- 50:41Speaker 1: coming off a really nice Start against philadelphia, six innings
- 50:44Speaker 1: shut out with. Six strikeouts two of his last three
- 50:47Speaker 1: starts have been shutouts for six Innings against Philly, and
- 50:50Speaker 1: atlanta but both of them. At home his last two
- 50:54Speaker 1: roads starts have been Awful against Pittsburgh, and washington allowing
- 50:57Speaker 1: eleven earned runs combined over like. Six innings. That's awful
- 51:01Speaker 1: so for, some reason he's, just way way worse on.
- 51:04Speaker 1: The road and he had six walks compared to three
- 51:06Speaker 1: strikeouts in those. Two starts so very strange because his
- 51:09Speaker 1: last three home starts have, been excellent as last four
- 51:13Speaker 1: home starts have actually been, quite good and he had
- 51:15Speaker 1: a lot of strike cuts. In those, but man he
- 51:17Speaker 1: is so much worse on the ROAD that i don't
- 51:18Speaker 1: think you can really say he's in like very good
- 51:21Speaker 1: form or anything. Like that anaheim does not have a
- 51:24Speaker 1: whole lot of history. Against him they only have three
- 51:26Speaker 1: hitters who have seen him before thirty two, at bats
- 51:29Speaker 1: but they have, thirteen strikeouts five walks for Of the
- 51:32Speaker 1: mancada though two nineteen and average six to fifty. Five
- 51:36Speaker 1: Ops so singer is pretty unfamiliar, to them and he
- 51:39Speaker 1: has done pretty well against their hitters that have, seen
- 51:41Speaker 1: him so maybe he will do okay for. That REASON
- 51:43Speaker 1: and i don't really Trust what anaheim's doing here With
- 51:45Speaker 1: The victor madeiro is listed as their starter five point SIX,
- 51:49Speaker 1: three era one point. Five whip he's been a little
- 51:52Speaker 1: bit better at home five POINT, four era but HE'S really,
- 51:56Speaker 1: i mean he's only thrown eight innings so far. This,
- 51:58Speaker 1: season man He's been he came out of A bullpen
- 52:01Speaker 1: i think a couple, of times and then he did
- 52:02Speaker 1: make a start Against the dodgers last, time out and
- 52:04Speaker 1: it was not totally successfully give up three on runs
- 52:07Speaker 1: at Four inn he's walked, three guys, three hits. THREE
- 52:11Speaker 1: strikeouts a lot of three is going on in. That
- 52:13Speaker 1: game but it Is. The dodgers they were a. Good
- 52:15Speaker 1: lineup red's line up not as good As, the, dodgers
- 52:18Speaker 1: obviously BUT madeiros, I mean i don't really. TRUST him
- 52:21Speaker 1: i mean his strike at walk racially on the season seven,
- 52:23Speaker 1: to seven that's. Not good so there's not a whole
- 52:26Speaker 1: lot to trust, with him and he's probably gonna be
- 52:28Speaker 1: out of the game, pretty early so you're probably gonna
- 52:30Speaker 1: get the bullpen coming in For, the angels which is
- 52:33Speaker 1: not a. Good Side the reds have Never faced, mideiro's
- 52:35Speaker 1: BEFORE but i still don't know if that's gonna help him.
- 52:39Speaker 1: That much so even though it looks at kind of
- 52:41Speaker 1: a letdown Spot, for cincinnati, to me it looks like
- 52:44Speaker 1: they do have A matchup betch pretty much almost across the,
- 52:47Speaker 1: board here though aim does have a slightly, Better OFFENSE
- 52:51Speaker 1: so i, don't. Know man the, Pitching WISE cincinnati i
- 52:55Speaker 1: do think has the edge, pitching wise but the money's
- 52:57Speaker 1: coming in. Against them they're up from just one of
- 52:59Speaker 1: five minus one ten eighty two percent of tickets only
- 53:01Speaker 1: fifty five percent of, The cash so it Looks like
- 53:04Speaker 1: anaheim is getting some professional money as the home. Underdog there,
- 53:10Speaker 1: so again do with that information what. YOU will i
- 53:11Speaker 1: gotta try to lower my, voice, again man because my
- 53:15Speaker 1: voice has been really really. Strained recently it's just. REALLY bad,
- 53:19Speaker 1: i mean it's just kind of the WAY that. I
- 53:21Speaker 1: talk but let me know if you can still hear
- 53:23Speaker 1: me at my lower voice level HERE because i really
- 53:25Speaker 1: got to try it on take a step back and
- 53:29Speaker 1: do something. About that the total in this game is
- 53:31Speaker 1: high to at nine and, a half with ninety percent
- 53:34Speaker 1: of tickets ninety nine percent of the cash on. THE
- 53:36Speaker 1: over i wouldn't really disagree with, an. OVER i'man i
- 53:39Speaker 1: think pretty much the pitching across the board is kind
- 53:41Speaker 1: of untrustworthy in, that GAME so i wouldn't really disagree.
- 53:44Speaker 1: With that Cleveland, At arizona arizona's returning Home from Texas,
- 53:48Speaker 1: and colorado so they are returning on from a. Road
- 53:50Speaker 1: trip arizona does have nothing to, play for but maybe
- 53:53Speaker 1: they'll be a little bit angry because they had a
- 53:55Speaker 1: bad Series. Against COLORADO but i, don't, know man it's
- 53:58Speaker 1: possible they just are kind of packing it in and
- 54:01Speaker 1: not playing. Well anymore cleveland And again arizona's it's kind
- 54:06Speaker 1: of a distractions spot because they are turning on from
- 54:10Speaker 1: a Road. TRIP cleveland i mean maybe in a, little
- 54:14Speaker 1: yeah they may be in a little bit of a Bounce.
- 54:17Speaker 1: Back spotiers they are starting a road trip after getting
- 54:20Speaker 1: Swept by atlanta. At home so sometimes when you, do
- 54:22Speaker 1: that one of the best things for his is to
- 54:24Speaker 1: get out On. The road forget. About, it cleveland and
- 54:27Speaker 1: they could still make the, playoffs here but they're not
- 54:30Speaker 1: a very. Good team they're a very. Bad offense arizona
- 54:32Speaker 1: has the way better. Offense here cleveland does have the.
- 54:35Speaker 1: BETTER bullpen, I mean arizona's bullpen, is terrible so all
- 54:38Speaker 1: that has to be kept. In Mind gavin williams is Pitching.
- 54:41Speaker 1: For cleveland he's got. Okay numbers three point THREE eighty
- 54:45Speaker 1: ra is, pretty good but one point three to one
- 54:47Speaker 1: whip is not. Very good he's a little bit worse
- 54:49Speaker 1: Than the road three point six era On. The road
- 54:53Speaker 1: had a really bad start. LAST time i would only
- 54:55Speaker 1: lasted three Innings, against miami give it four, And runs
- 54:58Speaker 1: but remember he's a no hitter into the eighth inning
- 55:03Speaker 1: and the prior game Against, the mets and he actually
- 55:05Speaker 1: was one out away from having a No hitter i'm
- 55:07Speaker 1: pretty sure Against, the mets and a lot of losing
- 55:10Speaker 1: it right at, the END so i think he was
- 55:13Speaker 1: in a bit of a hangover spot. After that prior
- 55:16Speaker 1: to that, last start he actually had a few good
- 55:18Speaker 1: starts in. A row he actually had six starts in
- 55:22Speaker 1: a row where he allowed three or, fewer runs and
- 55:24Speaker 1: he allowed two or fewer in all but one, of
- 55:26Speaker 1: those so he was actually Pitching Better. SO williams i
- 55:29Speaker 1: don't trust, his whip but he does get a lot
- 55:31Speaker 1: of ground. Ball, outs yeah and he was pitching well
- 55:35Speaker 1: before that, last GAME which i think was kind of
- 55:37Speaker 1: explainable because he was coming off that huge game where
- 55:40Speaker 1: he almost got a. No HITTER so i think he
- 55:41Speaker 1: wasn't a. Letdown spot he may very well bounce, back
- 55:44Speaker 1: Here and arizona's never seen, him before so he may
- 55:46Speaker 1: have a little bit of an extra edge Here against
- 55:49Speaker 1: arizona just because they've never seen, him before and that
- 55:51Speaker 1: could be an edge to a young pitcher. Like that
- 55:54Speaker 1: he's going Up Against, zach gallon who is not having
- 55:56Speaker 1: a good season For. The diamondbacks five point three one
- 56:00Speaker 1: one point three to five whip on, the season that's.
- 56:03Speaker 1: Not good five point five ninety are, at home so
- 56:06Speaker 1: he is worse. At home arizona's won three starts in
- 56:10Speaker 1: a row. For him he's not been great over, that
- 56:13Speaker 1: span with only ten strikeouts and five walks in. Seventeen
- 56:17Speaker 1: innings that's, not great even though the ra's three point
- 56:20Speaker 1: one eight over. That span so he hasn't allowed a
- 56:22Speaker 1: lot of runs over his last, three starts three or
- 56:26Speaker 1: fewer in all, of them but not striking out a lot,
- 56:29Speaker 1: of guys walking too. Many GUYS so i would say
- 56:31Speaker 1: he's not really still in the greatest, form Here but
- 56:33Speaker 1: cleveland is a. Bad, offense however his numbers are not
- 56:37Speaker 1: very Good against cleveland and fifty two at bats to
- 56:39Speaker 1: eighty eight batting average allowed seven to seventy, Oh ps
- 56:42Speaker 1: so not great Numbers for gallon There. Against williams own by,
- 56:47Speaker 1: the way it looks Like maybe gallen is hurt or
- 56:49Speaker 1: being pushed back or Something because arizona and now is
- 56:52Speaker 1: undecided on a starter, OR so I think i would
- 56:55Speaker 1: Lean to cleveland in. This, game man If it's gallon
- 56:58Speaker 1: Or if arizona's going with like a spot starter or a,
- 57:01Speaker 1: BULLPEN game i think you gotta Lean. TO cleveland I
- 57:04Speaker 1: think cleveland does have the pitching edge across, the board
- 57:06Speaker 1: even though their offense. IS terrible i think they might
- 57:08Speaker 1: have a little bit of a situational. Edge too arizona
- 57:11Speaker 1: down for minus one twenty to minus one oh seven
- 57:14Speaker 1: total sitting. At nine but if you were gonna play,
- 57:16Speaker 1: This game i'd Probably. Say cleveland. Money line uh probably
- 57:19Speaker 1: can still get them in an, underdog PRICE and i
- 57:21Speaker 1: will have a play on this last game as well
- 57:23Speaker 1: as you can see in. My Title, uh so let's get.
- 57:27Speaker 1: To it we'll do the best bets And then i'll
- 57:28Speaker 1: talk about THE one nfl preseason, game tonight which is
- 57:32Speaker 1: not a whole lot going on, with that but. Best
- 57:34Speaker 1: bets let's do. Him in we ALREADY know i gave
- 57:36Speaker 1: Out The chicago Cubs in. Game one you can go
- 57:38Speaker 1: back towards the beginning of. THE show i give up
- 57:40Speaker 1: the analysis on that spur of the moment play On.
- 57:43Speaker 1: The cobs, next up We're gonna Baltimore and boston under
- 57:48Speaker 1: eight and. A half i'm gonna. Go UNDER and i
- 57:49Speaker 1: saw that even money, out there so if you can
- 57:51Speaker 1: find it, under nine you could do that to Him
- 57:53Speaker 1: in nine is a key number on a total in
- 57:55Speaker 1: baseball because it breaks a four to. Four tie so
- 57:58Speaker 1: if you want to try to find a nine, out
- 57:59Speaker 1: there you might have to pay a little bit extra.
- 58:01Speaker 1: For it it might be worth it looks like maybe
- 58:03Speaker 1: you can't, find that because right now it looks like
- 58:05Speaker 1: it was nine juice to the under for, a bit
- 58:08Speaker 1: but it drops pretty quickly to eight juice to, the
- 58:10Speaker 1: over but it looks like the money is coming in
- 58:12Speaker 1: on the under in. This game fifty six percent of
- 58:14Speaker 1: tickets on, the over seventy five percent of the cash on.
- 58:17Speaker 1: The UNDER and, i know playing in a game like
- 58:20Speaker 1: this on the under infaway park with at least one
- 58:24Speaker 1: Picture that i've even should on. A lot, I mean
- 58:26Speaker 1: i've shot on both of these guys on the, show
- 58:28Speaker 1: before But Especially dustin may was not a very. Trustworthy
- 58:31Speaker 1: starter it does look kind of weird to take an,
- 58:34Speaker 1: under HERE but i think this is a spot where
- 58:35Speaker 1: it makes sense to. Do So red sox are staying,
- 58:38Speaker 1: at home by, the way they're down for minus one
- 58:39Speaker 1: twenty minus one seventeen on the, money line but they
- 58:42Speaker 1: do have seventy one percent of the cash on them
- 58:44Speaker 1: sixty eight percent of the Tickets. ON baltimore i think
- 58:47Speaker 1: the public is just kind of Looking at rogers having
- 58:49Speaker 1: the way better Ra, over MAY and i think the
- 58:51Speaker 1: public's kind of coming In on, baltimore here which As
- 58:54Speaker 1: A red, Sox fan i'm not, You know i'm not unhappy,
- 58:58Speaker 1: about that because hopefully the market is correct On The
- 59:00Speaker 1: red sox in, this Game but i'm not gonna be
- 59:02Speaker 1: playing the side in. This one i'm going with the
- 59:04Speaker 1: under in. This One The red sox are staying, at
- 59:06Speaker 1: home might be a little bit angry the way they
- 59:08Speaker 1: lost that game Yesterday. In miami baltimore is pretty hot. Right.
- 59:12Speaker 1: Now man they've won four of the last five Games
- 59:15Speaker 1: against Seattle, and houston so it's a pretty pretty, good
- 59:19Speaker 1: wins Especially, crushing houston shutting them out in those two
- 59:24Speaker 1: wins that they Got, against houston and the only loss
- 59:26Speaker 1: they had they barely lost a game five. To four
- 59:28Speaker 1: but they are having to travel Up to Boston, from
- 59:30Speaker 1: houston so the travel spot's not as Good for. Baltimore
- 59:33Speaker 1: here might effect they're hitting a, little bit, but again
- 59:36Speaker 1: we're gonna look At the we're gonna look at the.
- 59:39Speaker 1: UNDER here I know baltimore doesn't have a very, good
- 59:41Speaker 1: bullpen but they are rested, right NOW so I think
- 59:43Speaker 1: i'm okay with going full game. On this if you
- 59:45Speaker 1: want to go under in the first, FIVE innings i
- 59:47Speaker 1: think that's fine. As well baltimore's bullpen is not. VERY
- 59:50Speaker 1: good i understand that if you want To fade. BALTIMORE'S
- 59:53Speaker 1: bullpen i do get that they're not the absolute. WORST.
- 59:56Speaker 1: Bullpen o they're like SIXTH worst i know it's, still
- 59:59Speaker 1: bad but they're not in that like up rationaln of
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: like completely, unplayable bullpens And The red sox bullpen is actually,
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: pretty good so we'll keep them in. The equation they
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: didn't use a whole lot of their pen either over
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: the last couple. Of Days red. Sox shocking they actually
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: have the third best bullpen in all of baseball, right
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: now so we'll keep them in, the equation EVEN though
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: i Know The red sox too have a pretty good offense,
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: as well which you wouldn't think that they would really
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: because they have a lot of, young guys but they've.
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: Really coalesced they have the sixth BEST offense. Ohps wise
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: but Of course baltimore's is. Not, good baltimore where are?
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: They at they're mid tier, right now eighteenth. In offense,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: but anyway we're looking at. THE pitching i like better
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: pitching over better hitting here and, these, PICTURES man i
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: actually think that this is a matchup where we can
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: play on. THESE pitchers, I Mean trevor rodgers shocking. To
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: me he's actually just been good basically every Start since
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: baltimore's brought him up and put him in. Their rotation
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: he's been their. Best starter it's. Absolutely crazy he wasn't
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: that good back when he Was. On miami he wasn't
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: Good AT triple a, this year but look at. His
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: numbers one point four TO, three era point eight TO.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: ONE whip, I mean i expect that to regress at,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: some point, but man he's. Been good worse on, the
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: road but still one point nine TO. Ninety ra you
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: can't knock him. For that, this month he's thrown twenty.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: One innings he allowed one run in each of his
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: outings Against the Cubs in philadelphia on the Road and seattle,
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: at home so not Even in seattle's pitcher. Friendly park
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: he allowed one run in each of. Those games he
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: had six innings or more in all, three games pitched
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: well against three pretty, potent offenses and had a twenty
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: to two strikeout walk ratio over. That span he hasn't
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: allowed with the three on runs in, any start and
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: that was one of his really early starts At A
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: tampa bay stadium that's pretty difficult to. Pitch in it's
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: a very hitter friendly park in their temporary spring training
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: stadium that they're playing In At. Steinberger field take that
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: start out of. The equation he's allowed two or fewer
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: runs in every start this, entire year, absolutely insane and
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: he has good numbers Against The. Red sox they're only
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: six for thirty, off him with one extra, base hit
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: which is a Double By, walker buehler who's not gonna
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: be hitting in. This game so the only extra base
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: hit That The red sox Have Against trevor rodgers is from.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: A pitcher maybe they should pinch, hit, HIM man i,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: don't know. It's ridiculous he does have seven strikeouts of four,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: walks against which isn't, that great but he tells him
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: to a really low two hundred average five twenty seven.
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: OH ps i know it's not a huge, sample Size
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: but rodgers does have good numbers Against The. Red Sox
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: dustin may pitching For The, Red Sox oh, dusty boy
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: what are we gonna get out? Of? You man four
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: point six SEVEN, e ra one point three to five
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: whip not good numbers on. THE year i. Get it
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: he actually has been better at home, this season although
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: most of that was With the dodgers three point TWO
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: sixty ra. At home but he is worse on. THE
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: road i, get that although of course the road did
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: include a Start At fenway park where He wasn't he
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: wasn't really good. Or bad his last start With the
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: DODGERS that i was Actually At. Fenway park he went,
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: five inninges gave a fourg, and runs did have a
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: five zero strikeout, walk ratio which isn't. That terrible and
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: Of course baltimore's offense is not as good As The.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Red sox then first game Of The, red sox he was.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: Pretty bad he gave up three. On runs this Was In,
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: fenway PARK which i know is not a great Sign To,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: kansas city not a. Good offense it was a shaky start,
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: for him but he did a, four strikeouts no walks
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: and Then m what he did in his last outing
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: is given me Faith In dustin may. Right now and
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: it was on the road where he actually has been bad,
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: this YEAR like, I said but he Went to houston
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: and he shut them out for. Six Innings and houston's
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: a pretty decent lineup at least, eight strikeouts, one walk five.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: Hits allowed so he had a really good Outing. Against
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: houston so that gives me faith that he could do Well.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: Against baltimore he's stepping down a class Against a. Baltimore
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: team it's not as, good Offensively and baltimore's never faced
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: him before Except For, dylan CARLSON who's oz for. Two
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: Often so may is basically completely Unfamiliar. To BALTIMORE so
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: i think that's a little bit of an extra Edge.
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: For may baltimore is gonna have to try to figure.
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: Him out so we're gonna go under in, this, game
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: man and the market's agreeing. WITH it i think you
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: probably have to go under the eight and a half
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: in no man's, land THERE but i think. That's fine
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: if you wanted to go, UNDER nine i would probably
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: go upwards of about minus one twenty to pay for the.
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: Under nine let me just see if there is any.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: OUT there i bet, there's, not though BECAUSE when i
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: looked earlier, this morning you couldn't. Do it so let
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: me see at any of the Books in massachusetts, At,
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: least no it looks like the money it's it's really, really.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: Shifting man so you can't even get the under eight
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: and a half at a great. Price anymore you gotta
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: go under eight and a half at minus one point
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: fifteen now is What the what the line is? Out?
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: There NOW but, I mean i think that's still the
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: way to go under the eight and, a half and
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: then to finish, this off we're Gonna Go San francisco
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: giants plus one. TWENTY five i understand how bad. THIS
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: looks i. Get It san francisco's, BAD offensively i. Understand
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: this they're Playing The San. Diego padres but here's. The Man,
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: san francisco EVEN though i understand they're really really, atrocious
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: offensively they're like fifth worst. In Baseball san diego is
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: not that. Much Better san diego offensively is twentieth. Than
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: ops so there's not a huge offensive disparity between these.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: Two teams, AND yes I Know san diego is the
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: best bullpen the are in, all baseball But the giants.
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: Are Second the giants have still, been good EVEN though
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: i know they tailed off a, little bit But the
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: giants still have a very. Good bullpen so there's not
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: a huge Advantage To san. Diego THERE and i think
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: we start seeing an Edge For san francisco the fact
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: that they only used two relievers yesterday and their bullpen
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: usage has been light over the last, Two days so
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: that gives me some Faith In san, francisco's Bullpen Where
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: san diego they just seem to over use their bullpen. A,
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: lot man we see more work out of. Their, bullpen
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: recently four guys. CAME in i know their bullpen is.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: Really good basically all their bullpen relievers. Are good they
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: could basically all be, a closer but still they have
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: a little bit more. Bullpen usage that gives me a
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: little bit more Faith Than. San francisco we're getting them
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: as an, underdog HERE and i think this is a
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: bad Spot For. San. Diego man they had a huge
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: weekend series Against the dodgers and they. GOT swept i.
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: Get it so you might, be, saying well they're gonna
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: bounce back here now they get to beat Up On. San,
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: Francisco right i'm not so sure, about that, Because Again
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: san diego went into that series with a lead Over
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: the dodgers and then getting swept By the dodgers in
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: a pretty. Competitive series they lost two of the three
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: games by, one Run including, yesterday's game, really competitive lost
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: on a clutch home Run By mookie betts in the
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: bottom of the. Eighth Inning san diego actually did out
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: Hit the, dodgers yesterday but that was a. Close. GAME
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: man I Think san diego the fact that they almost
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: were able to win. THAT game i think they're gonna
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: be hungover. From, that man it's a return, home spot,
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: so again you could be a little bit distracted when you.
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: Return home they're coming up that big series Against the
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: dodgers again on their Face Against san, francisco team it's
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: pretty much out of. It now and they Just Beat
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: san francisco on, the road and not only did they
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: beat them on, the road but they. Swept, Them MAN
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: so I Think san diego Might Take san francisco. PRETTY
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: lightly i think it's a. Bad spot they have to
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: get stuff done. AT home i think they might be
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: a little bit distracted off having a huge. Weekend series
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: might Not Take san. Francisco seriously And Because san francisco
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: did just get Swept By san diego two, SERIES ago
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: i think that's gonna Piss Off. SAN francisco I Think
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: san francisco is gonna show, up here, if anything just
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: because they want to spoil the Party For san diego
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: and they want to get some road. Revenge, here man
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: road revenge is. The thing and when you just got
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: swept at your own stadium against the team and you
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: get to play them again in their stadium, RIGHT away
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: i think you're gonna show up and want to. Play,
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: Well MAN so i think that's Good In. SAN francisco
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: i know they're playing. Awful baseball they lost seven games in,
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: A row but what do they? Do yesterday? They won
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: They Beat tampa bay seven. To ONE so i think
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: the good thing about that is that ends their. Losing.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: MOMENTUM man a lot of times when a team has
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: a long lost streak like that and then they end that,
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: lost streak it carries over to the next game and
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: they actually. Play well starting a road trip also tends
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: to be a. Positive spot so that's a focused spot,
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: FOR them. I. THINK so i think it's a situational
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: that sets up pretty Nicely For san. Francisco here as
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: far as the, STARTING pitching I Think san francisco has
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: the edge of the starting pitching. As well, to me
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: it looks like this is a fade of A Public san.
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: DIEGO team I Know san diego is really good. AT
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: home i understand that we Are Fanning san diego having
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: a good. HOME record i get that home record. Home
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: Record san diego's with minus one thirty nine, favorite here
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: so you can get a decent underdog Price On san
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: francisco here sixty eight percent, of tickets only fifty two
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: percent of the Cash On. San diego so they're a
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: public home, team here less of the money coming in,
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: on them and we have a low total of seven
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: and a half and a pitcher. Friendly ballpark so you
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: know what. That means it means there's probably a little
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: bit more value in playing the underdog when there's a
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: low total, like this because that probably means it's more
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: likely to be a, closer game right where every run
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: means a little. Bit more so the underdog is a
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: better way. TO look, i mean you could maybe pay
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: a little bit more to get a plus one and
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: a Half On san, francisco two but you probably have
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: to pay a little bit too much for that with
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: a low total, Like THIS so i think money line
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: is just a way. To go you're getting the plus money, on,
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: It man so you're when you, do that you're not
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: even saying You Think san francisco is necessarily gonna win.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: The game you're saying you think they have better odds
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: to win the game than what the odds the odds
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: makers are. Giving you so if You Have, san francisco
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: if they win, this game forty eight percent of the
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: time or so you're probably you're gonna make money long
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: term on a bet. Like this so these small, baseball
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: underdogs if you think you have an edge on, that
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: team they're definitely a good way to go getting that.
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: Underdog PRICE and i think. We. Do man We Have
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: robbie ray Pitching For. San francisco he's debatably their. BEST starter,
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: I mean i've been Saying It's logan webb because web
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: is just. A Grinder But robbie ray is having a
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: good season two point nine to, eighty ra one point one.
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: FOUR whip i know he's a little bit worse on,
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: the road but it's not that significant three point one
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: five yarra on. The road this is still a pitcher.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: FRIENDLY park i know he did Just Face, san Diego
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: So san diego is familiar. With him but as, we'll
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: see that's gonna be the case with both starting. Pitcher
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: here both starting pitchers just saw these. Opposing lineups so
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: the fact that the opposing lineup might have an edge
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: against the, starting pitcher it's a wash because both offenses have.
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: THAT edge I Know robbie rays throwing a lot of, Pitches,
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: here man he's thrown over one hundred pitches and four.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: STRAIGHT starts i. Get it that's scary to go on
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: a pitcher that's, doing that but he's been doing. That,
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: Regularly man he's throwing one hundred pitches in a lot
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: of these starts and he's still. Pitching Well so i'm
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: not gonna be too concerned. WITH that i know he
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: didn't do that Well Against. San diego gave up four
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: and runs at, six innings but strike out walk wise was.
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: Pretty good he had four strikeouts, one walk so he
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: wasn't actually bad in. That start he just kind of
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: gave up some UNTIMELY hitting, i think or timely hitting
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: for the. Opponent there, this month he doesn't have an
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: eighteen to four strikeout walk ratio prior to. That start
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: he had in allot where the. Touring runs in any
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: of his prior. Three starts i'm going all the way Back,
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: into june he allowed two or fewer in all but,
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: two starts and he allowed three or fewer in any
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: start going all the way back way further, than that
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: going all the way Back into April. Mid april so he's,
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: been really really good pretty much, all season And Against, sandy,
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: DIEGO yeah i understand his numbers are not Great Against.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: SAN diego i. Get it ninety six, at bats twenty
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: three to fifteen strike a walk ratio is. NOT great,
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: i know two sixty batting average is. Not horrible but
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: an eight to seventy, ONE ohps i understand. Is bad
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: the twenty three to fifteen strike a walk raceio is
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: the thing that's. Really bad but if you look at,
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: The numbers machado is really the guy that does like
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: almost all. The damage, he's, Uh well loriano does do
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: some of. The damage he's seven for twelve of the
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: home Run but machado five or nineteen with three of
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: them run six walks, Against him so a ton of
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: that damage is From. Uh MACHADO so I think ray
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: could pitch a little bit, better. Here MAN so i
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: Actually think ray is the better of these two. PITCHERS
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: here i Don't Trust nestra cortes, right. NOW man, i
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: mean there's a reason why teams have been getting rid.
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: Of him Uh the yankees uh let him GO or
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: i don't know if his contract was just up, or
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: whatever but he moved on Went to milwaukee to start.
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: This season he was really bad in his first Start,
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: for milwaukee or Against. The yankees did have one good Start,
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: for Milwaukee but milwaukee traded him away and, since then
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: EVEN though I Know san diego's won both of, his
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: starts he hasn't really been Good With. San diego he
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: has a nine to four strike a walk race here
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: is only a nine to third innings and two starts
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: didn't go five innings and, either starts AND like, i
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: said his most recent one Was Against, SAN francisco i
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: know the other One. Was arizona arizona is a, good team.
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: GOOD offense, i mean not a, good team but a.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: Good offense. Excuse me their pitching, is TERRIBLE and i
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: know that's a hitter. Friendly park maybe You give cortes
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: a pass for that because he's trying to get back
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: into the swing. Of things he hadn't pitched. FOR months i.
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: Get IT HIS u i would Even Against san francisco
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: wasn't that bad with, six strikeouts, one walk, six hits
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: a lot one and run a lout of four and.
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: Two thirds, but again he's not thrown a ton, of,
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: Pitches man so he might be the first guy out
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: of the. Two starters he might be the guy that
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: lasts less in. This game and his Numbers Against. SAN francisco, i,
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: MEAN yeah I understand ray's numbers are that Good Against,
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: san Diego, but, cortes again It's the giants except for
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: the strikeo walk ratios numbers are worse and fifty FOUR bats,
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: i know twenty one to four strike a walk ratio,
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: is good but He. DOMINATES devers, I mean devers twelve strikeouts,
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: Against them. Ario whatever but overall three point fifteen batting
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: average a lot of nine to seventy three oh Ps,
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: against cortes and At least devers has seen a Lot
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: of Cortez because cortez is On the Yankees and devors
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: was On The. Red SOX so i think the starting pitching,
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: matchup still you give the Edge To robbie ray in.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: This game sides what we're, Going, With man we're gonna
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: go With The Sar francisco giants in. That game and,
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: then yeah to finish, this, Off well i'll talk about
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: THE preseason nfl game real quick here before we get out.
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: Of here bengals And The. WASHINGTON redskins i refuse to
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: call them. Anything else we have one of the highest
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: tolls that we've seen in preseason up to forty three
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: because both of these teams have bad defenses and they
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: both have, potent offenses except for the Fact that i'm
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: pretty sure that you're not Gonna See jayden daniels in.
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: THIS one i doubt It the, bengals though because they've
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: been getting off to such slow starts over the last couple,
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: of Years And joe burrow was coming back from injury
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: to start the season last year and they didn't play him.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: In Preseason joe burrow has already played in preseason a,
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: little BIT so I think burrow is gonna be in
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: this game early For the, bengals again which is why
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: you see them up from three to three and a
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: half despite being on the. Road here so the money
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: is jacked up the line On the bengals a. Little,
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: BIT again i think that line may be a little bit.
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: TOO crazy, i mean they're over adjusting maybe because You
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: know burrow will be, in there but he's not gonna
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: be in there later in. The game he'll be in
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: there for a couple of series early in the, Game
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: PROBABLY so i think the way that makes sense to
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: play This is bengals over their, team total which is
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: that's A thing i've recommended when you know that they're
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: gonna have a, starting quarterback and you could. Do that
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: or we could go over the team total in the
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: first first five in the first half of. The game
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: i'm still in baseball, mode here because you know That's
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: when borrow's gonna be in, the game so they might
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: be scoring more in the. First half or you could
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: Play the bengals spread in the first half and you
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: might be able to get the like minus one and
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: a half minus two in the, First half so play
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: them to be ahead at the end of the. First
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: half that might be a way. To go the first
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: RECOMMENDATION that i gave on in the PRESEASON that i
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: think failed to cash on the full game Was The
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: jacksonville Jaguars With trevor lawrence and there to go over
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: their full team. Total YESTERDAY but i did recommend that
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: you could go over in the first FIVE or i
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: keep saying first five in the first, half yesterday or
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: go over their team total in the. First half those
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: did Cash. For jacksonville they scored all THEIR points i
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: think except for maybe three of them in the. First
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: half could see something similar out Of the, bengals, Here
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: MAN so i think that's what we're Gonna get washington
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: again if you wanted to go over ending and over
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: actually does make sense in this. GAME too i think
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: you might see some points Here, BECAUSE washington I Believe,
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: marcus Mariota if i'm, not mistaken is, still there but
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: we could look. REAL quick i think he's, still there, backup,
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: quarterback RIGHT so i think he's probably gonna get playing
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: time in. This game let me see what do we
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: have here for their? Depth chart Here, for washington and
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: let me see it. Real quick and he does play
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: well in their offense here it looks like he is,
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: questionable though and then They Have josh johnson who does have. Some,
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: experience nope it Looks like mariota is not, gonna play
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: so maybe. Scratch that then you're gonna get a Lot
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: Of josh, johnson then probably in, this game which is
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: probably part of the reason Why the bengals are favored
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: as much as. They are but you Will See joe
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: burrow in the, game early And then bengals are Gonna
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: Have jake Browning And desmond ridder are coming off, their
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: bench and those are guys that at least have experienced
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: starting IN. The, nfl though say what you will About.
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: RID or i know he's not, that good but he's
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: made a bunch, of starts at least AT the, nfl
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: Level and browning has made some starts Too with borrow,
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: being Injured so bengals they do have the better, quarterback
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: ROTATION so i still wouldn't Really mind bengals over their
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: team total in the full game. As well first half
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: makes sense. As well that's gonna do it, for, me MAN.
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: J c thanks for hanging. OUT everybody i, already said
