- 0:44Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? Happy Monday afternoon with the
- 0:48Speaker 1: man the myth down below. Big DAIDs on the little
- 0:52Speaker 1: heater yesterday was watching some I don't even is Tim
- 0:55Speaker 1: Radlers is a triple A double A. I'm not sure
- 0:57Speaker 1: which one he was watching. Some other base turns out
- 1:01Speaker 1: checks a screen. What seventy two bucks in the three
- 1:04Speaker 1: thousand something? Plenty of members benefited two. We don't preach like, oh,
- 1:09Speaker 1: Nate's got his core, just table his cour and you're
- 1:10Speaker 1: gonna win all the time. No, but Nates knows this stuff.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Play a couple of lineups, maybe one you do mix
- 1:16Speaker 1: in his core. Every single one went deep, absolute great stuff.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Big Nay's congrats to you, grats the multiple winners. Hoop
- 1:23Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, sualub last week. Plenty of
- 1:25Speaker 1: members in the discord. I'm'll be seating up over here.
- 1:28Speaker 1: How you doing, Nates?
- 1:30Speaker 2: Yeah, MLB's been uh, I mean, can't ask for a
- 1:32Speaker 2: better start. I know, for about two and a half
- 1:35Speaker 2: three weeks there, I was probably pretty brutal and the
- 1:37Speaker 2: chat just tilted my face off multiple times. But that's baseball.
- 1:41Speaker 2: I mean, it is just the way it goes, right.
- 1:43Speaker 2: You got to take that downs with the ups and
- 1:45Speaker 2: probably one of the better starts to the season that
- 1:47Speaker 2: I can ask for. Yeah, yesterday was pretty nice when
- 1:51Speaker 2: you kind of throw in your teams early on a Sunday, Right,
- 1:53Speaker 2: we have all the lineups in early, and I head
- 1:55Speaker 2: out to the old ballpark, enjoy some seventy degrees and
- 1:58Speaker 2: watch two of the best baseball prospects go at it
- 2:00Speaker 2: in uh single A. Actually so both teams it is
- 2:04Speaker 2: now both teams are affiliated the Timber Ratlers obviously with
- 2:07Speaker 2: the Brewers, and then the Tigers were in town. Well,
- 2:09Speaker 2: the Tiger ats single a affiliate with Max Clark. I
- 2:12Speaker 2: think he's like fifteenth overall prospect in all of MLB
- 2:16Speaker 2: absolute certified stud He went over four people were there
- 2:20Speaker 2: were some high school kids or college kids in the
- 2:22Speaker 2: sands just absolutely chirping him, chanting over overrated and stuff.
- 2:25Speaker 2: And I mean he hit two laser beams lefty lefty
- 2:28Speaker 2: to start to start the game, lined out the short
- 2:31Speaker 2: and then lined out the third base like appo and
- 2:34Speaker 2: then I mean it was just funny. So it was
- 2:37Speaker 2: fun and joined that with the family and nephew and
- 2:40Speaker 2: my girlfriend and that at the local ballpark here and
- 2:44Speaker 2: It's always nice when you open the old DraftKings app
- 2:46Speaker 2: and you see four figures staring at the you and
- 2:50Speaker 2: the screen there. So it took second in the one
- 2:51Speaker 2: twenty one yesterday had had a run at the top
- 2:55Speaker 2: pictures obviously was kind of It's kind of been the
- 2:58Speaker 2: theme as of late, right these top end pitchers just
- 3:02Speaker 2: haven't been having the ceilings that we've seen from like
- 3:05Speaker 2: last year, right where multiple guys, I mean felt like
- 3:08Speaker 2: every night last season for the most part, somebody was
- 3:10Speaker 2: going out there and getsing you thirty to thirty five
- 3:13Speaker 2: and if you didn't have them, you were kind of dead.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Hasn't been really the case, and I think it's more
- 3:17Speaker 2: of the case here tonight that we're going to talk about.
- 3:19Speaker 2: So maybe that's something we got to look at right
- 3:21Speaker 2: early part of the season here. The game's evolved, right,
- 3:24Speaker 2: continues to evolve. The torpedo bats, et cetera. I mean,
- 3:27Speaker 2: I don't know if they have juice baseballs in there
- 3:29Speaker 2: or not. Yesterday, I mean, the Royals hit eighteen home
- 3:32Speaker 2: runs all year, and I think they had seven yesterday
- 3:34Speaker 2: in the game. I love the breakout spot called it
- 3:37Speaker 2: and I was actually pretty shocked at their ownership last
- 3:39Speaker 2: night compared to probably what it's going to be here tonight.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Just recency bias, everything growing into that, and just the
- 3:45Speaker 2: nature of the slate at hand tonight. Gonna kind of
- 3:48Speaker 2: leave the Royals in general pitching and hitting as kind
- 3:51Speaker 2: of the clear cut spot that everybody wants to go to.
- 3:54Speaker 2: So we'll do our best to kind of navigate through that.
- 3:56Speaker 2: But yeah, right and high, and it's been amazing over
- 3:59Speaker 2: here at the Nation. Multiple winners yesterday in the discord,
- 4:01Speaker 2: tailing my core and even even amongst that right over
- 4:05Speaker 2: the last three weeks hoop Hebrew shaloub. The list goes
- 4:09Speaker 2: on and on. The community's been absolutely smashing. So looking
- 4:12Speaker 2: to keep the train rolling here.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. One thing you mentioned a lot about the pitchers,
- 4:17Speaker 1: man like the pitch count, people like the grom getting
- 4:20Speaker 1: pulled early, multiple starts in a row and stuff. That's
- 4:24Speaker 1: why I always like this pitch count number from Sabersim
- 4:27Speaker 1: over here. Usually it's dragged all the way over. I
- 4:30Speaker 1: think it was like almost far right. I drag it
- 4:32Speaker 1: all the way right now next to my max exposure.
- 4:34Speaker 1: I do want and again it is hard to project pitches,
- 4:37Speaker 1: but I do want at least if I'm paying probably
- 4:41Speaker 1: nine K and above eight K and above. For the
- 4:43Speaker 1: most part, I'm most lates. I want my guys to
- 4:45Speaker 1: at least be around that ninety pitch mark as you.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I mean, back in the day, you go three four
- 4:50Speaker 1: years ago, you'd be seeing ninety eight ninety seven for
- 4:53Speaker 1: their average pitch count. The Suersers or the Degrams of
- 4:56Speaker 1: the world, the Verlanders of the world, I mean, even
- 4:59Speaker 1: the bomb Esp twos were at least getting to the
- 5:02Speaker 1: low nineties, upper eighties most of the time. The league
- 5:05Speaker 1: has definitely changed with all the injuries and such a
- 5:08Speaker 1: long year, So the pitch count is definitely something I
- 5:11Speaker 1: keep in mind when breaking down pitchers, and it's really
- 5:15Speaker 1: tilting to see your guy pulled at sixty five seventy five.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I mean, Tobias Meyers a couple of nights ago, went
- 5:22Speaker 1: like three innings. I don't know if he was like
- 5:24Speaker 1: in the forties, and the projected pitchcount was in the eighties.
- 5:27Speaker 1: So that's that's definitely something go ahead.
- 5:30Speaker 2: I mean the other night right with Flarity Flerty was
- 5:33Speaker 2: just absolutely rolling. He got roughed up a little bit
- 5:35Speaker 2: in kind of the first inning, bounced back was just
- 5:37Speaker 2: absolutely rolling and they pulled him at seventy three pitches,
- 5:40Speaker 2: and I know obviously that was the slate that kind
- 5:42Speaker 2: of everybody was chanting kind of lock him in, right.
- 5:44Speaker 2: I mean, he was seventy percent under or whatever, so
- 5:47Speaker 2: it doesn't really kill you, but I mean the dude
- 5:49Speaker 2: was just absolutely crouch, cruise and mowing at seventy three pitches.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Like historically, we're seeing these pitchers go six and seven
- 5:55Speaker 2: innings getting into that one hundred and ten outside of
- 5:58Speaker 2: organizations like the Dodgers right where now it's pretty much
- 6:01Speaker 2: spanned across the entire MLB, So it's definitely I did
- 6:05Speaker 2: the same thing in Saber sam our partner with the optimizer,
- 6:07Speaker 2: I have the pitches right next to every pitcher's name,
- 6:11Speaker 2: so I dragged it all the way over to the left.
- 6:13Speaker 3: It shows me name, and then it shows me the
- 6:15Speaker 3: pitches right there.
- 6:16Speaker 2: So I take that into account a lot as well,
- 6:19Speaker 2: especially when you're kind of splitting hairs at the top end.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Right when when you're looking at these pitchers and everything
- 6:25Speaker 2: else kind of checks out, I'm going to give the
- 6:27Speaker 2: slight nod to the guy that at least is anticipated
- 6:30Speaker 2: to throw longer and has a longer leash because.
- 6:33Speaker 3: That's been the nature of the game. Rio talked about
- 6:35Speaker 3: it in the chat.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Right now is everything's advanced analytics, right you talk about
- 6:39Speaker 2: put in NFL right of all the fourth and goals
- 6:42Speaker 2: and all the going forward and less field goals. It's
- 6:45Speaker 2: all trickling over to to all sports and advanced analytics
- 6:49Speaker 2: with the stat cast data.
- 6:50Speaker 3: And all of this.
- 6:51Speaker 2: And I think it's going to take a turn for
- 6:54Speaker 2: the worst in the back half of the season, right
- 6:55Speaker 2: when all these bullpens are taxed and these guys as
- 6:58Speaker 2: arms are falling off, right and you're seat I mean,
- 7:00Speaker 2: you're seeing it with the Dodgers right now.
- 7:02Speaker 3: They went out and just absolutely loaded the wagon.
- 7:04Speaker 2: I'm pitching, and they're dealing with injuries because their starters
- 7:08Speaker 2: historically go four innings, five innings, and then they rely
- 7:11Speaker 2: on the bullpen for the remainder of the second half
- 7:13Speaker 2: of the game. And that's just not sustainable when you're
- 7:15Speaker 2: playing baseball six to seven nights a week, right. So
- 7:19Speaker 2: it's gonna be interesting to see second half of the
- 7:20Speaker 2: year what happens to a lot of these bullpens. And
- 7:22Speaker 2: that's why I've been focused so much on the bullpens,
- 7:26Speaker 2: And every time I do a breakdown, I'm always talking
- 7:28Speaker 2: about what the bullpens look like, and in terms of
- 7:31Speaker 2: ranking wise, because half the game, over half the game
- 7:33Speaker 2: right now, in today's state, you're playing against the bullpen,
- 7:36Speaker 2: right so I'd much rather, especially when a team can
- 7:39Speaker 2: dictate matchups right out of the bullpen, I'd much rather
- 7:41Speaker 2: attack weaker bullpens then going and attack the Giants, going
- 7:45Speaker 2: to attack the Yankees, the padres, et cetera. In terms
- 7:48Speaker 2: of bullpens that rank near the top, we have a
- 7:50Speaker 2: big enough sample now to kind of see some of
- 7:52Speaker 2: the trends that are starting.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, Cam talked about it, Dacoda Scoo ball last week.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Just stuff you can't like. There's nothing I would have
- 8:01Speaker 1: changed different on that slate, but it's something that I'm
- 8:03Speaker 1: going to keep in my mind moving forward with certain
- 8:06Speaker 1: pitchers and stuff. But it feels like a lot of
- 8:08Speaker 1: guests work because you don't know what managers are going
- 8:10Speaker 1: to do yesterday and then we'll get to the slate.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Just the Braves and Dodgers Sunday Night baseball game had
- 8:15Speaker 1: it on watching the background. They were debating. Michael Conforida
- 8:19Speaker 1: was up. They clear Michael Canfordo has been one of
- 8:22Speaker 1: the worst baseball players him and Jock so far this year.
- 8:24Speaker 1: They threw in the lefty reliever, went to the bullpen
- 8:28Speaker 1: to go lefty lefty. Well, obviously the Dodgers counter, they
- 8:31Speaker 1: have enough pitch hit bats. They go Migul Rojas instead
- 8:34Speaker 1: of Conforida to get the platoon advantage. Migual Rojas goes deep.
- 8:38Speaker 1: Then they got to pull that guy like the next
- 8:40Speaker 1: at bat or two. But they're looking advanced analytics because
- 8:43Speaker 1: the announcers were talking about a pregame, a spot like
- 8:45Speaker 1: this happens, We're doing this well, then they counter with
- 8:49Speaker 1: a way better bat and sometimes analytics can bite you
- 8:52Speaker 1: in the as now I'm the biggest proponent for analytics.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Levitan did a great interview with the Florida analytics guy
- 9:01Speaker 1: in college basketball talking about free throws when they were
- 9:04Speaker 1: down like eight points in the sweet sixteen. I believe
- 9:07Speaker 1: it was no Elite eight or Final four, regardless about
- 9:11Speaker 1: why they fouled early to give themselves more of a chance.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Who you follow the front end of one and one
- 9:16Speaker 1: just how deep analytics can go. So I like it,
- 9:19Speaker 1: but yeah, I can definitely hurt your pocket and hurt
- 9:22Speaker 1: what you're doing on the occasion as well. So gotta
- 9:25Speaker 1: say hi to everyone in chat. Then we'll get right
- 9:28Speaker 1: into this like go collect Lyle Pop Stoner, Michael Peterson,
- 9:32Speaker 1: kyped Max Manny Amazing Asian, I mean hoala, I am Rice,
- 9:37Speaker 1: Kim gold Rio, Ricky Nicks fan. Good luck to you
- 9:40Speaker 1: Knicks fan today, tough series, Scooter Nate Dee already said,
- 9:44Speaker 1: already said hi to Cam Jake, what's going on? Kenny?
- 9:46Speaker 1: What is going on? Devin Davis appreciate every single one
- 9:50Speaker 1: hanging out? How do you change your process if you're
- 9:52Speaker 1: doing one lineup per night versus multiple entries. I'm almost
- 9:55Speaker 1: always a multiple entry guy. If you're doing one lineup,
- 9:58Speaker 1: I mean build your build your favorite lineup. But that
- 10:01Speaker 1: also takes into consideration ownership the contest. Is it a
- 10:05Speaker 1: one point fifty max? Is it a single entry? Is
- 10:08Speaker 1: it a twenty max? If you want to add anything
- 10:11Speaker 1: to that.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Overview, yeah, yeah, So I typically most Knights played two
- 10:18Speaker 2: to three teams. My main team is always obviously the
- 10:21Speaker 2: main corps like yesterday that I dropped in the chat.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Typically on the main team, a single entry three max
- 10:28Speaker 2: stuff for my main contest, I kind of throw it
- 10:29Speaker 2: in a bunch of other stuff just to give upside.
- 10:32Speaker 2: But you're mainly building for kind of your bulk of
- 10:34Speaker 2: your entries, right, which is single entry, three max, et cetera.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Assuming that's kind of what the questions were lying about.
- 10:40Speaker 2: And typically I'm gonna eat more chalk at picture as
- 10:43Speaker 2: long as they're good arms.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Like yesterday, i just played.
- 10:45Speaker 2: The chalk pairing and de Gram and I'm drawing a
- 10:48Speaker 2: blink on on the other guy.
- 10:51Speaker 3: Uh yeah, Crochet.
- 10:53Speaker 2: So I just played d Gram and Crochet yesterday, and
- 10:56Speaker 2: I knew the offenses there was enough good spots where
- 10:59Speaker 2: offense is gonna kind of get spread out enough.
- 11:02Speaker 3: And I figured the Royals with the hitting environment.
- 11:05Speaker 2: I'm a big guy for ballparks and hitting, and the
- 11:07Speaker 2: weather was great for hitting there yesterday. Hence you've seen
- 11:10Speaker 2: all the solo home runs from both sides of that game.
- 11:14Speaker 2: I'm more willing to eat the chocolate pitcher in that
- 11:17Speaker 2: kind of built and then get different from the bats,
- 11:19Speaker 2: because I mean you see these hitters. I mean, yesterday
- 11:22Speaker 2: Bobby wit until obviously hit the home run. I mean
- 11:24Speaker 2: he was like, oh, for three people were tilting him
- 11:26Speaker 2: et cetera. So it's a lot easier for hitters to
- 11:28Speaker 2: fail than it is for pitching. So when you're stuck
- 11:31Speaker 2: and kind of hunkered on one team, I typically take
- 11:34Speaker 2: more of the safety approach right in pitchers, obviously in
- 11:38Speaker 2: them and me, you're gonna change that, right, You're you're
- 11:41Speaker 2: probably gonna be overweight or at least match the field
- 11:44Speaker 2: and kind of the quote unquote best plays. But then
- 11:46Speaker 2: you can actually leverage against those with other stacks because
- 11:49Speaker 2: you have a broader portfolio. In kind of one max team,
- 11:53Speaker 2: I'm more so honing in on pitching, kind of seeing
- 11:56Speaker 2: what the field's doing. As long as I tend to agree,
- 11:59Speaker 2: there is obviously where I'm not going to agree. And
- 12:02Speaker 2: whoever you follow, right, we talk about it in the discord,
- 12:04Speaker 2: talk about it in content, et cetera. On why, Okay,
- 12:07Speaker 2: this guy's getting mega chalk and I just don't believe it, right,
- 12:10Speaker 2: he's got walk issues, et cetera. That doesn't always work out,
- 12:13Speaker 2: but that's typically on kind of how I approach approach
- 12:16Speaker 2: the slate is I'm gonna kind of hone in more
- 12:18Speaker 2: on the pitching and more.
- 12:20Speaker 3: Willing to eat kind of the safety chalk.
- 12:22Speaker 1: If you will.
- 12:23Speaker 3: That's hence why they're kind of drawing the ownership there.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Makes a lot of sense. We talk about it a lot.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Baseball is one of the most high variant sports, but
- 12:31Speaker 1: a lot of that has to do with bats. The
- 12:33Speaker 1: best player in the world can go over for any
- 12:35Speaker 1: single day. If you bat three hundred, you're Hall of
- 12:37Speaker 1: Fame or more times than not. So pitching wise, it's
- 12:41Speaker 1: a lot easier to project pitching. I mean, it still
- 12:44Speaker 1: takes one bad inning. It takes one Dalton bar Show
- 12:48Speaker 1: falling in the outfield and instead of catching that ball,
- 12:50Speaker 1: he doesn't while you're getting an earned run because he
- 12:52Speaker 1: didn't touch it, you don't give him the air on that,
- 12:54Speaker 1: and then your pitcher gets screwed, has to throw fifteen
- 12:57Speaker 1: more pitches when it wasn't his fault. Always very that way,
- 13:00Speaker 1: but definitely a lot of variance in the hitting. So
- 13:03Speaker 1: also what you can do. But I like you Sabersim again,
- 13:07Speaker 1: and Sabersim. Usually any optimizer out there is very expensive.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Right now. There is literally no better time to try
- 13:14Speaker 1: it though, usually ninety nine bucks for all excuse me,
- 13:16Speaker 1: all of our content. Sabersim and the Discord use the
- 13:19Speaker 1: code djen seventy five. You can try all that out
- 13:22Speaker 1: for the first month for only twenty four bucks, less
- 13:25Speaker 1: than a dollar a day. As you can see right here,
- 13:27Speaker 1: you'll core package. You'll be able to build two hundred
- 13:29Speaker 1: and fifty teams see one hundred and fifty and late swap.
- 13:33Speaker 1: If you do want Sabersim's projections ownership and contest flashback,
- 13:37Speaker 1: you can see that in the starter package as well.
- 13:39Speaker 1: If you want to run the SIMS, Sabersim by far
- 13:42Speaker 1: the best build five thousand teams also get the contest flashback,
- 13:47Speaker 1: projections ownership from sabersim, and be able to see pitch
- 13:50Speaker 1: count et cetera projected pitches that is on the Ultimate plan.
- 13:53Speaker 1: If you're playing one hundreds of dollars a week, I
- 13:55Speaker 1: think you should give it a try. But right now,
- 13:58Speaker 1: anyone out there playing any bit of DFS, just twenty
- 14:00Speaker 1: four bucks for your first month using the code djen
- 14:03Speaker 1: seventy five and then sabersim when you upload your lineup
- 14:07Speaker 1: right here. Sabersim takes into consideration how big the contest
- 14:11Speaker 1: is you should be building different if it's one hundred
- 14:13Speaker 1: man contest versus a ten thousand man contest. When you
- 14:16Speaker 1: sort by saberscore, they will automatically have the contest size.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Play around, see what Sabersim's building. But when you're building
- 14:23Speaker 1: one team, it's a virtual handbuild. Oh I know today,
- 14:26Speaker 1: I want Reagan's and Boyd. Okay, I'll lock Reagan's and Boyd.
- 14:30Speaker 1: See what else is going on with the stacks, et cetera.
- 14:33Speaker 1: That way, So I'd recommend that you also more education
- 14:37Speaker 1: MLB Education video. I definitely recommend checking that out all
- 14:41Speaker 1: the other sports as well, if you play them all right, Nates,
- 14:45Speaker 1: let me refresh the new projections. Let's take the average
- 14:49Speaker 1: of ship a nation and Sabersim sort and picture and
- 14:53Speaker 1: the only filter I have up here show pictures with
- 14:57Speaker 1: the projection greater than eight and a half. If there's
- 14:59Speaker 1: anyone per acted less than eight and a half that
- 15:01Speaker 1: you want to play today, you can let me know.
- 15:03Speaker 1: I usually don't like playing pitchers projected for eight and
- 15:06Speaker 1: a half or less. Last thing before I throw it
- 15:09Speaker 1: to you eight king above pitching weather. Always check it
- 15:11Speaker 1: right away. Someone mentioned above with the Yankees. So it
- 15:16Speaker 1: was orange yellow from again Kevin Roth on Rhoda Grinders.
- 15:19Speaker 1: It was orange yellow earlier. He updated it is now
- 15:22Speaker 1: yellow orange. So I'm seeing that. Let's see we made
- 15:26Speaker 1: clear right around game sign. Let us play through light sprinkles.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I'm seeing this. I'm gonna pretend right now we're all
- 15:31Speaker 1: good to play. So we're gonna talk eight games. Pitching's fine,
- 15:35Speaker 1: hitting's fine, etc. Maybe it will not be. We always update,
- 15:39Speaker 1: take the MLB chat in discord if stuff changes. But
- 15:42Speaker 1: let's pretend that game goes and we could play in
- 15:44Speaker 1: Nick Povetta if we did want eight Kane above, one
- 15:48Speaker 1: guy stands out in a tier of his own coal
- 15:50Speaker 1: wagons in terms of projection and ownership. Take it away.
- 15:54Speaker 1: What else do you like in this top tier?
- 15:56Speaker 2: Yeah, so pitching for me, it's ragons, and then kind
- 16:00Speaker 2: of you jump off the nearest cliff and it's everybody
- 16:02Speaker 2: else and down at the bottom. Realistically, there is a
- 16:06Speaker 2: little bit slight injury concern that's going on with the Reagans.
- 16:10Speaker 2: We saw it in his last start, his last stark
- 16:11Speaker 2: I cut short. I don't think there's anything really to
- 16:14Speaker 2: worry about. He's single entry, cash three max.
- 16:17Speaker 3: He's a lock for me.
- 16:19Speaker 2: It's just taken because even if he goes out there
- 16:21Speaker 2: and gets us four innings on a slate like this
- 16:24Speaker 2: where I'll touch on Piveta and Rodin, who are kind
- 16:27Speaker 2: of the main pivots. Off of there, there's an extreme
- 16:30Speaker 2: hitters up there in Yankee Stadium.
- 16:32Speaker 3: It's you got the rain, you got the weather, et cetera.
- 16:37Speaker 2: I'm sure it's pretty decent overall for hitting in Yankee
- 16:39Speaker 2: Stadium is in general, and then you add that with.
- 16:42Speaker 3: The extreme hitters ump and the weather concerns.
- 16:44Speaker 2: I mean, one pop up shower can put that game
- 16:46Speaker 2: in delay, and both of those two that's two of
- 16:49Speaker 2: the top five bullpens in baseball. They're they're very easily
- 16:53Speaker 2: fine going bullpen game there. So without no really clear
- 16:57Speaker 2: pivots Reagan's I think you just lock him in single
- 17:00Speaker 2: try cash three max stuff in MME. Sure, do i
- 17:04Speaker 2: want to go one hundred percent? No, I'm not going
- 17:05Speaker 2: one hundred percent in the m ME. I'm gonna run
- 17:07Speaker 2: sixty in that five dollars tonight. I'll probably be over
- 17:11Speaker 2: the field, but not to the nextent where I'm locking
- 17:14Speaker 2: him in. I expect him to come in around in
- 17:16Speaker 2: MME format right around fifty to sixty percent. So maybe
- 17:20Speaker 2: I have slightly over that roughly seventy ish percent and
- 17:24Speaker 2: then some I'll have some stacks against him, mini stacks
- 17:28Speaker 2: to kind of leverage that in some of my other portfolio.
- 17:31Speaker 2: But any teams outside of m ME, I mean, you're
- 17:33Speaker 2: just playing Reagans realistically, Piveta and Rodon, like I talked about,
- 17:38Speaker 2: I'll start with the Rodnan because he's cheaper.
- 17:42Speaker 3: Padres already don't strike out.
- 17:43Speaker 1: I get it.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Rodin does have high strike at rate stuff. But with
- 17:47Speaker 2: the umpire, I mean the umpire's era behind the dish
- 17:49Speaker 2: is sitting over a four on average.
- 17:52Speaker 3: I mean it's extreme.
- 17:53Speaker 2: I don't really take umpire factors too much into account
- 17:57Speaker 2: until it gets into the extreme category. Like Bill Miller,
- 18:00Speaker 2: right for pitchers, they have an extreme hitters up there,
- 18:03Speaker 2: so I'm slightly worried about that. With the weather, So
- 18:06Speaker 2: for me personally, I'm not even messing with Paveta and
- 18:09Speaker 2: Rodan in MM, they might sprinkle in somewhat.
- 18:12Speaker 3: I prefer Paveta to Rodan just with the matchup.
- 18:14Speaker 2: There's more strikeouts in the Yankees lineup than there is
- 18:16Speaker 2: the Padres lineup, So I prefer Pavetta slightly to Rodan
- 18:21Speaker 2: if you're going there. But Singletcher's remax stuff I'm not
- 18:24Speaker 2: touching either of those guys. Brady Singer is quote unquote
- 18:28Speaker 2: probably the I mean pivot if you want to pivot there.
- 18:31Speaker 2: He's not going to pick up much ownership. He's gonna
- 18:33Speaker 2: be held it pretty in check. We know what this
- 18:35Speaker 2: Atlanta team is. There's been a lot of strikeouts that
- 18:39Speaker 2: be had. They're starting to hit the baseball better as well.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Singers look pretty good. I don't mind him at eighty
- 18:45Speaker 2: eight hundred, but my favorite sp two in the slate
- 18:47Speaker 2: is Matthew Boyd. It's not gonna be contrarian by any means.
- 18:50Speaker 2: The chalk pairing of tonight in singletur three Max stuff
- 18:54Speaker 2: is much like yesterday that we had with Crochet and
- 18:56Speaker 2: de Gram. It's gonna be Ragan's at Boyd today in
- 19:00Speaker 2: game in Wrigley. Some of the metrics and park factor
- 19:03Speaker 2: stuff that I look at there with the current environment
- 19:05Speaker 2: that we're gonna expect in Wrigley is a significant, significant
- 19:09Speaker 2: downgrade to home runs, which you're kind of really struggled
- 19:13Speaker 2: and really worried about there. So I think Matthew boys
- 19:16Speaker 2: looks solid. His pitch count should be up over ninety.
- 19:18Speaker 2: We got him at right around ninety two. Saber has
- 19:20Speaker 2: them at and at eighty three hundred, everything kind of
- 19:23Speaker 2: checks out for me. The other guys above Ak, Bryce Miller,
- 19:27Speaker 2: there's some concerns there with his control and his strikeouts
- 19:31Speaker 2: in general. I mean, he's had a bunch of walks
- 19:33Speaker 2: in all of his starts. Now he goes out to
- 19:35Speaker 2: Oakland in the highest game total of the slate, I
- 19:38Speaker 2: don't really want to pay that personally. I think he's
- 19:42Speaker 2: fine just due to the slates. I'd be right around
- 19:45Speaker 2: the field, maybe slightly over just in MMM stuff. I
- 19:48Speaker 2: think he's a fine option. So for me really above Ak,
- 19:51Speaker 2: it's Reagans and Boyd. It's not going to be contrarian,
- 19:54Speaker 2: but there's times to be contrarian. There's times to kind
- 19:56Speaker 2: of just take what the slate's giving you. And I
- 19:58Speaker 2: see Reagan's and Boyd as kind of the kind of
- 20:00Speaker 2: what's the slate's giving me above eight k personally, with
- 20:04Speaker 2: sprinkles of Singer and Miller to round it out.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Yeah, by no doubt, Reagan's and Reagan's and Boyd are
- 20:12Speaker 1: the chalk. I do think the more the weather if
- 20:15Speaker 1: it does clear up and Roth gives it the green
- 20:18Speaker 1: light in for the Yankees game, Bavetta is gonna get
- 20:22Speaker 1: some ro Don will get some people. They'll eat into
- 20:24Speaker 1: Reagan's and Boyd a little bit. I definitely like Nick Pavetta.
- 20:27Speaker 1: I mean he's been so good this year. And the
- 20:30Speaker 1: K prop. So we have three people with a K
- 20:33Speaker 1: prop of five and a half with juice or better
- 20:35Speaker 1: with juice on the over. The best is Reagan six
- 20:38Speaker 1: and a half. It's minus one thirty on the over.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Second best is Nick Pavetta six and a half plus
- 20:43Speaker 1: one forty on the over, So that'd be five and
- 20:46Speaker 1: a half heavy juice on the over if it was
- 20:49Speaker 1: one k down. And then the other one is Matthew
- 20:52Speaker 1: Boyd five and a half minus one sixty on the over.
- 20:55Speaker 1: The other like Ronelle Blanco's five and a half some
- 20:57Speaker 1: juice on the over on the under. Excuse me, Carlos Rodon,
- 21:01Speaker 1: Actually I take that back. Rodin's five and a half
- 21:03Speaker 1: minus one ten on the over. With all that being said,
- 21:05Speaker 1: I know you xd out Rodin, and I'm good with
- 21:08Speaker 1: that right now, but it would clearly be Paveda. Rodin
- 21:11Speaker 1: is my pivots, and by far I prefer Paveta to Rodin.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Probably my favorite picture at ownership. If ownership did stay true,
- 21:19Speaker 1: Like if I knew this was thirteen point seven eight percent,
- 21:21Speaker 1: Paveta would be my favorite picture by far on this slate. Also,
- 21:25Speaker 1: when we get to bats, like there's enough bats that
- 21:29Speaker 1: we can mix and mix and match, but there's also
- 21:31Speaker 1: I think a couple clear tiers of bats only eight
- 21:34Speaker 1: games late, we don't We're not looking at like eighty
- 21:37Speaker 1: five degrees across the country in these spots where there's
- 21:40Speaker 1: seven teams with the team total above five. As you
- 21:43Speaker 1: can see looking here, this Arizona Mets game looks good KC. Seattle.
- 21:49Speaker 1: And then again you're mixing a match in some mid
- 21:51Speaker 1: four's and I like some of those teams. Like I'm
- 21:53Speaker 1: not worried about going Boyd Reagan's. I think you can
- 21:56Speaker 1: get plenty different at bats, but I don't love going
- 22:00Speaker 1: Reagan's Boyd. And then like I think five Manning Seattle
- 22:03Speaker 1: will be really popular. I don't just necessarily love eating
- 22:06Speaker 1: all the chalk today. I think pivot or Pavetta is
- 22:08Speaker 1: a very elite pivot. Again, that is, assuming that game
- 22:12Speaker 1: does play. Yes, I'm scared of Aaron Judge, for sure,
- 22:15Speaker 1: I'm not too worried about the bottom of the lineup,
- 22:17Speaker 1: though there are some cas that be had so by
- 22:20Speaker 1: far Pavetta and yeah, when you were talking about Singer,
- 22:24Speaker 1: the thing is this k prop's good and he's gonna
- 22:26Speaker 1: be super super low four and a half minus one seventy,
- 22:31Speaker 1: I want to say on the over. Yeah, minus won
- 22:33Speaker 1: seventy on the over. That's like the fifth best k
- 22:35Speaker 1: prop on the slates. Brady Singer was a solid pitcher
- 22:38Speaker 1: for Case for a little while. I don't know, I
- 22:42Speaker 1: don't love picking on Atlanta. You liked him a little
- 22:45Speaker 1: bit though at six percent. I would keep him in.
- 22:48Speaker 1: You prefer him over Rodin?
- 22:49Speaker 2: You said, right, yeah, so I prefer him kind of
- 22:54Speaker 2: straight up over Verdn. To be honest with the with
- 22:56Speaker 2: the upside, the if I'm going to that weather game,
- 22:58Speaker 2: I'm definitely with you. It's Paveta all day, and if
- 23:01Speaker 2: everything's good to go there, I'm still scared by it.
- 23:05Speaker 2: But I think Paveta is probably the best play in
- 23:07Speaker 2: the slate given the ownership.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Given the upside the ownership would be if we get
- 23:10Speaker 1: the green.
- 23:10Speaker 2: Light, I mean they probably it'll probably still be Reagans
- 23:16Speaker 2: as the highest owned guy, but you'll probably see Reagan's
- 23:19Speaker 2: come down to about the fortiest range, and Paveta in
- 23:22Speaker 2: probably the twenty five ish range.
- 23:25Speaker 3: Twenty five to thirty.
- 23:26Speaker 2: I would say it's it'll come much closer than it
- 23:28Speaker 2: is currently because Rodin's gonna pull some of that as well.
- 23:31Speaker 2: So between Rodin and Paveta, I would look at roughly
- 23:34Speaker 2: fifty percent, probably thirty twenty ish between the two of them,
- 23:38Speaker 2: and then Reagan's right around forty ish is kind of
- 23:41Speaker 2: what I would look at, and then kind of Boyd
- 23:43Speaker 2: would be the next guy. Boyd would probably be in
- 23:45Speaker 2: that twenty five ish to thirtiest range. They won't pull
- 23:49Speaker 2: much from him. It might be more pulling Reagans down
- 23:52Speaker 2: and up up taking.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Pavetta and Rodin.
- 23:55Speaker 3: Rodin being the main guy that would get the most steam.
- 23:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's that's right as well. I would
- 24:01Speaker 1: think Pavetta is probably in the twenty five percent mark.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I still would like them there if we get the
- 24:05Speaker 1: green light. Six and a half k prop Again, a
- 24:08Speaker 1: lot of juice on the under, but there isn't many
- 24:10Speaker 1: good pitchers when you sort by projection on this late
- 24:13Speaker 1: like two guys projected for fifteen and a half or more,
- 24:16Speaker 1: that's not and then look at all this so and
- 24:19Speaker 1: again by far the most popular here. One of them
- 24:21Speaker 1: have a bad game SPTWO, like people keep saying, is
- 24:25Speaker 1: the key to this slate's so let's see. I don't
- 24:28Speaker 1: love Bryce Miller by the way too. I probably I
- 24:30Speaker 1: would prefer Brady Singer. I would not get too much
- 24:33Speaker 1: Bryce Miller. And again this is assuming like ten teams
- 24:35Speaker 1: or less. I'm not you're playing the five dollars, You're
- 24:38Speaker 1: playing sixty teams. I'm pretty much exing nobody to start.
- 24:42Speaker 1: I'm seeing what Sabersim's thinking, comparing my thoughts with that,
- 24:45Speaker 1: and if I have like three percent of a guy
- 24:47Speaker 1: who already didn't like, then I keep going xing that
- 24:49Speaker 1: way and messing with stuff. But if I'm playing that
- 24:52Speaker 1: many teams, I'm not exing anyone out pre build or
- 24:55Speaker 1: I am the eight and a half projected and lower,
- 24:57Speaker 1: those are the guys. IFO I'm exing out, let's go
- 25:00Speaker 1: eight Kingen below Again, pretty tough for SP two. I've
- 25:03Speaker 1: seen a couple of names throwing out there. AJ Smith.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Someone's asking about is an SP two pivot? Tobias Myers.
- 25:09Speaker 1: I've seen a couple people talk about the main guy
- 25:12Speaker 1: that's standing out. He's is getting ownership is Renel Blanco.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Though I know the Brewers beat the Cubs yesterday. I
- 25:18Speaker 1: would even argue they got lucky yesterday. And then Aga
- 25:21Speaker 1: pulled his hand me on his way to first base.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Right after that, bullpen comes in, got right to him,
- 25:27Speaker 1: scored zero before that. I don't know what's going on
- 25:30Speaker 1: with the brew crew. This is the team I am
- 25:32Speaker 1: fine picking on right now. Blanco's k prop again pretty
- 25:35Speaker 1: solid on this slate, especially for the price five and
- 25:37Speaker 1: a half, A lot of juice on the under at
- 25:39Speaker 1: minus one sixty, but Blanco by far looks like my favorite.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Other than that, a couple guys all projected in the
- 25:47Speaker 1: same range though, Severino, Raupe, aj Smith, Blanco, Mikolas, any
- 25:53Speaker 1: of these guys stand out to you down here? Are
- 25:55Speaker 1: you pretty much ate kitin above and you're just hammering
- 25:58Speaker 1: the top range?
- 25:59Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:59Speaker 2: So the issue with Blanco is he's been very, very
- 26:03Speaker 2: good against right handed hitters thirty one percent k rate,
- 26:06Speaker 2: nine percent walk rate, which is a little issue, and
- 26:09Speaker 2: pretty much no power sub one hundred iso. But you
- 26:12Speaker 2: look at lefties, a sub ten percent k rate, a
- 26:14Speaker 2: fifteen percent walk rate in a three or two ISO,
- 26:17Speaker 2: and the Brewers are probably going to load their lineup
- 26:19Speaker 2: with lefties. They're lefty driven in well with yelich Terrang
- 26:23Speaker 2: freyleksas starter Collins will hit from the left side, and
- 26:26Speaker 2: then they'll probably add in Jake Bauers will probably get
- 26:29Speaker 2: a start here tonight. So I'm expecting at least five
- 26:33Speaker 2: lefties for the Brewers, which definitely gives me concern in
- 26:36Speaker 2: Blanco in general, personally, my favorite SP two in the
- 26:43Speaker 2: cheap range is gonna be a j.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Schmith Shaver.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Uh.
- 26:47Speaker 3: He's not a great pitcher by any means in my
- 26:49Speaker 3: in my.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Mind, but I just know how often and how wild
- 26:55Speaker 2: this Reds team can strike out. When they're striking out,
- 26:58Speaker 2: they're striking out in a lot right, So with his
- 27:01Speaker 2: strike up stuff, he's got about a twenty six percent
- 27:03Speaker 2: k rate at home this season in his limited starts
- 27:06Speaker 2: the Reds, but right around league average, right around twenty
- 27:10Speaker 2: two percent on the road. But they have McLain almost
- 27:12Speaker 2: forty percent k rate, Daily Cruz thirty two percent k rate,
- 27:15Speaker 2: Gavin Lucks thirty percent k rate, So I think he's
- 27:20Speaker 2: fine at seventy five hundred.
- 27:22Speaker 3: And I mean again, this is a slate. I'm looking to.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Get twelve to fifteen out of an SP two because
- 27:28Speaker 2: you alluded to it. Right outside of Reagan's, everybody else
- 27:31Speaker 2: is sitting around at fifteen fifteen, Mark, I mean, Boyd's
- 27:34Speaker 2: sitting at seventeen. But outside of that, I mean you
- 27:36Speaker 2: got like eight guys between twelve and fifteen. DraftKings points right.
- 27:40Speaker 2: So that's kind of what you're looking at, is who
- 27:43Speaker 2: can get me fifteen? And if it's any more than that,
- 27:45Speaker 2: I mean great, right, that's awesome. So that's kind of
- 27:48Speaker 2: where I'm looking at Shava. I think he's good.
- 27:52Speaker 3: Toby Myers has pitch count concerns there, but I mean
- 27:56Speaker 3: any right handed pitcher that has a pulse against the
- 27:58Speaker 3: Astros all see, I'm gonna have some interest in Toby
- 28:02Speaker 3: Myers making a start. He's got strikeout stuff, he's his
- 28:06Speaker 3: pitch count should be slightly higher. I mean last start
- 28:09Speaker 3: was his first start coming off the IR he should
- 28:14Speaker 3: have slightly more. And I mean I don't hate him
- 28:17Speaker 3: against at fifty seven hundred dollars against a team that
- 28:19Speaker 3: strikes out a ton against right handed pitching, if as
- 28:23Speaker 3: long as he's smart enough to not throw a meatball
- 28:25Speaker 3: down down the middle to Jordan. I mean, I think
- 28:29Speaker 3: he can get us enough at fifty seven hundred, so
- 28:30Speaker 3: I actually like him.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Some stuff that I look at is kind of bullish
- 28:34Speaker 2: on him. I expect him to write around been ten
- 28:37Speaker 2: percent something like that.
- 28:38Speaker 1: How many pitches do you think because looking at it,
- 28:41Speaker 1: so this for Tobias Myers was like eighty two in
- 28:44Speaker 1: his last start. Now it's fifty.
- 28:47Speaker 3: I would have took the under one hundred percent last start.
- 28:49Speaker 2: It was his first start, coming off the IR coming
- 28:52Speaker 2: off getting surgeon.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you're saying.
- 28:55Speaker 2: So I expect I mean, I mean I could sixty
- 28:59Speaker 2: five seventy pitches.
- 29:01Speaker 3: I mean I could see seventy pitches.
- 29:03Speaker 1: You give them seventy. This projection definitely goes up. So
- 29:06Speaker 1: Sabers him right here eight point eighty five. If this
- 29:09Speaker 1: is seventy pitches, this number is probably like eleven.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I got the.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I got four and a half like I.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Got him projected more around twelve thirteen ish range like
- 29:19Speaker 2: twelve and a half ish is where I got him.
- 29:22Speaker 2: So I think Sabers light on him. I think personally
- 29:25Speaker 2: we're a little light on him. I got him, I
- 29:28Speaker 2: mean right around twelve to thirteen draftings points, and that's
- 29:31Speaker 2: kind of what I'm looking at.
- 29:32Speaker 3: And I mean it allows me to get up to
- 29:35Speaker 3: the Mets. I want to play the Mets. I want
- 29:37Speaker 3: to play the d Backs.
- 29:38Speaker 2: I want to play some of those big hitters in
- 29:41Speaker 2: in Casey in Oakland. That allows you to get up
- 29:45Speaker 2: there and with a very very shaky sp two on
- 29:49Speaker 2: this slate, I mean even Reagans isn't safe. I'm just
- 29:52Speaker 2: looking to the guy that can get me what I
- 29:54Speaker 2: want right and Toby, he pitched pretty good last year
- 29:59Speaker 2: and general I think it's fine. So that's kind of
- 30:02Speaker 2: where I'm at. The other guy I will mention is
- 30:05Speaker 2: Louis Severino.
- 30:07Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you about him. I mean, it's
- 30:09Speaker 1: direct leverage off the first or second chalkiest team. K
- 30:13Speaker 1: prop is pretty much the same as Bryce Miller, who
- 30:15Speaker 1: we excel four and a half minus one ten. Yeah,
- 30:19Speaker 1: I mean keep going. I was gonna mention him, and
- 30:21Speaker 1: I like it, like it's scary, but looking at ownership
- 30:24Speaker 1: and then if Seattle bust, I mean there when we
- 30:27Speaker 1: get to hitting there, by far them and Casey looks
- 30:29Speaker 1: like by far the chalk, So you get direct leverage
- 30:32Speaker 1: if it works. I mean, Hones slate pitching's tough. I
- 30:36Speaker 1: was gonna mention that I like it.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Yeah, so I like Savvy.
- 30:38Speaker 2: The reason I like it is I think this ballpark
- 30:41Speaker 2: in Sacramento, right where oaklet where the A's are playing,
- 30:45Speaker 2: is gonna be big time win driven.
- 30:47Speaker 3: Personally.
- 30:48Speaker 2: I mean, it's still not a great I mean it's
- 30:50Speaker 2: not a huge park by any means, but you look
- 30:52Speaker 2: at the temperatures tonight out there in Sacramento, sixty degrees one.
- 30:57Speaker 2: It's starting at nineteen miles an hour, gonna be fifteen
- 31:00Speaker 2: to twenty nine hour wins. Blowing kind of in from
- 31:03Speaker 2: left field the entire duration of the game, maybe pushing
- 31:07Speaker 2: a little bit out to right field, but it's more
- 31:09Speaker 2: so pushing against the right right follow line right into
- 31:12Speaker 2: the bleachers. So that's not great for hitting in general.
- 31:16Speaker 2: I get it this. This Mariners team is kind of
- 31:19Speaker 2: flip flopped in terms of strikeoffs. Last year, we picked
- 31:21Speaker 2: on them a ton against right handed pitching. This year
- 31:23Speaker 2: their bottom ten in the league in strikeout rate against
- 31:26Speaker 2: right handed pitching. But it's direct leverage. Sevarinos look good.
- 31:29Speaker 2: They're showing the ability let this guy go six seven
- 31:32Speaker 2: innings because they know how bad the bullpen is behind him,
- 31:36Speaker 2: and I mean I think it's I think it's solid,
- 31:38Speaker 2: so I don't mind. And looking at his career numbers
- 31:41Speaker 2: against the Seattle team, I don't take into count a
- 31:44Speaker 2: ton of this stuff, but I mean he's sitting at
- 31:46Speaker 2: a thirty one percent k rate and fifty five played
- 31:48Speaker 2: appearances against the current the current roster for Seattle, so
- 31:53Speaker 2: I don't hate it again. And I mean I think
- 31:56Speaker 2: he can go out there and get us fifteen. So
- 31:58Speaker 2: that's kind of what I'm looking for. And I don't
- 32:00Speaker 2: think anybody's gon to play him because I ran a
- 32:02Speaker 2: dry run in Saber and I got zero of him
- 32:05Speaker 2: in one point fifty, So I think it's an interesting,
- 32:08Speaker 2: interesting play there.
- 32:10Speaker 1: I'm with you, any Micholas, any Ryan Nelson, any Shane Smith,
- 32:15Speaker 1: I'm not playing him.
- 32:17Speaker 3: Any Yeah, so the other guys, I mean, I'm not
- 32:20Speaker 3: playing Nelson making his first start. Shane Smith.
- 32:24Speaker 2: I think he's actually as pitcher, but it's more so
- 32:27Speaker 2: just to worry about maybe not as much interest in
- 32:31Speaker 2: the Royals bats. I'm not going in to play Shane
- 32:33Speaker 2: Smith personally, so for me down here, I mean Micholas,
- 32:36Speaker 2: Toby Myers at the bottom. I prefer Tobby much more,
- 32:40Speaker 2: but Micholas, he's gonna go right around eighty five to
- 32:44Speaker 2: ninety pitches. I would say, not the greatest matchup, but
- 32:47Speaker 2: it's still the Pirates at the end of the day.
- 32:50Speaker 3: I don't mind being on both sides of that matchup.
- 32:52Speaker 2: If you need a guy and you want to get
- 32:53Speaker 2: off Toby due to the pitch count concerns, Miles is
- 32:57Speaker 2: kind of your guy there at sixty two hundred is
- 33:00Speaker 2: my favorite guy down here. Then Severino got those guys
- 33:03Speaker 2: kind of one A, one B down here. I'm not
- 33:06Speaker 2: really interested in Blanco personally, I don't. I don't love it,
- 33:09Speaker 2: especially if the if the lefties for the Brewers are
- 33:14Speaker 2: there's five or six of them in there. So for me,
- 33:16Speaker 2: it's really the two guys at the bottom and the
- 33:19Speaker 2: one guy at the top. In Severino, I liked it.
- 33:23Speaker 1: So this is kind of the pitching pool that we developed.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Twenty teams or less, ten teams, fifteen teams right around
- 33:29Speaker 1: there wanting to make cuts. But Nad's even said if
- 33:31Speaker 1: he was playing three teams or less, he would just
- 33:33Speaker 1: lock Reagans and from there. When you do that, you
- 33:36Speaker 1: obviously playing three four or five teams. You're not getting
- 33:39Speaker 1: every single one of these guys like Toby would be
- 33:43Speaker 1: just an mm play. But again this pitch count, like
- 33:45Speaker 1: his projection will be much better if Saber projected him
- 33:48Speaker 1: at seventy pitches, So where you have him is a
- 33:50Speaker 1: big thing. Then Nicholas, and then after that there's no
- 33:53Speaker 1: one one k like eleven hundred. It's the next pitcher
- 33:56Speaker 1: that we have some interest in. And Nates doesn't even
- 33:57Speaker 1: like Blanco. This is me that likes Go a bit,
- 34:00Speaker 1: and it's mainly because of what our guy Josh said
- 34:04Speaker 1: somewhere over here. How bad the brewer. Yeah, wors Iso
- 34:08Speaker 1: in the league the past two weeks, But like Nate says,
- 34:10Speaker 1: they're gonna probably throw a lot of lefties there, but
- 34:13Speaker 1: he would be my favorite for that reason. And then
- 34:15Speaker 1: seven Reno's interesting for the direct leverage and you can
- 34:18Speaker 1: definitely eat a lot of chalky bats play. Reagan's next
- 34:21Speaker 1: to it, et cetera. Now, one last thing before we
- 34:25Speaker 1: go to the Stone talks and bats. So Kenny said,
- 34:28Speaker 1: how do you know, like what lineup? It's one you
- 34:31Speaker 1: use when you upload, so your top one right here,
- 34:34Speaker 1: So usually you have to upload your lineups, and then
- 34:37Speaker 1: by then when you upload your entries, it can read
- 34:40Speaker 1: how many people in your contest, what contest is it,
- 34:43Speaker 1: all of that, but it'll then be when you sour
- 34:45Speaker 1: by saber score, it'll be your top one. So this
- 34:48Speaker 1: is saying ten off. You see you can see above
- 34:50Speaker 1: ten to fifty thousand people in the contest from high
- 34:53Speaker 1: to low. So this would be the preferred lineup that
- 34:57Speaker 1: it wants you to play without doing anything, though I
- 35:00Speaker 1: would go into stack exposure. I focus on five threes,
- 35:03Speaker 1: five to two's mainly, et cetera. Like if they gave
- 35:05Speaker 1: me a four to two is my top one, I
- 35:07Speaker 1: just wouldn't play it. But that is what it's telling you,
- 35:10Speaker 1: the top right here, when you start by saberscore, this
- 35:12Speaker 1: is telling you theoretically, if you're just blindly trusting sabers in,
- 35:16Speaker 1: that is hot what it's telling you right there.
- 35:19Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you could change that too.
- 35:21Speaker 2: So it's like a lot of the single country stuff
- 35:23Speaker 2: I would switch it to depending on what the single
- 35:27Speaker 2: country is. But a lot of those singleuntry stuff is
- 35:29Speaker 2: less than a thousand entrants, so I would go to
- 35:31Speaker 2: large slate one hundred down one k A meaning a
- 35:34Speaker 2: thousand people. If it's bigger than that, I would jump
- 35:36Speaker 2: it up to one thousand to ten thousand, because that's.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Where you're taking into account.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Even if you don't have the ultimate package like title
- 35:43Speaker 2: in myself, when we're screen share and have that, at
- 35:47Speaker 2: least still gives you an idea, right, they.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Still get all this stuff. Yeah, the saber score, you
- 35:52Speaker 1: guys still and it's it's just the water down version. Essentially.
- 35:55Speaker 1: Contest sins are every play play by play simulations. This
- 35:59Speaker 1: is their best metric. There wasn't there used to not
- 36:01Speaker 1: be contest sims. Saberscore was what people use at Sabersim.
- 36:06Speaker 1: So it's definitely back tested heavily. All right, let's talk
- 36:10Speaker 1: some bets. Let's flip over to the Stone, one of
- 36:13Speaker 1: the best pieces by far of content. Everything you need
- 36:17Speaker 1: in one. Again, we have the Stone for all the
- 36:18Speaker 1: sports up here, but for MLB. Oh last thing I
- 36:22Speaker 1: did want to mention FanDuel. So FanDuel locks we're not
- 36:24Speaker 1: going to talk about on this lay right now, but
- 36:26Speaker 1: six forty Eastern FanDuel. So they're playing eight games, just
- 36:30Speaker 1: like DraftKings, but they're including the Dodgers and the Marlins
- 36:34Speaker 1: and the Guardians and the Nats, and then they're not
- 36:36Speaker 1: including the A's and the Mariners and the d Backs
- 36:39Speaker 1: and the Mets. So instead of these late night two games,
- 36:42Speaker 1: they're crossing these off and they're starting the slates twenty
- 36:45Speaker 1: five minutes earlier at six forty eastern. So if you
- 36:48Speaker 1: are playing FanDuel.
- 36:49Speaker 3: Well, FANDU, I think is the two pictures. I mean,
- 36:52Speaker 3: only two pitchers in your pool, especially unless you're getting
- 36:55Speaker 3: into like one to fifty match twenty max stuff.
- 36:58Speaker 2: I mean you're looking at Boyd and looking at Ragan's.
- 37:01Speaker 2: I mean realistically, you're not getting cute. It's one picture sight.
- 37:05Speaker 2: And then FANDUO changes a little bit, having the Dodgers
- 37:08Speaker 2: in the Guardians being able to play huge lean to
- 37:11Speaker 2: the to the Dodgers. And that's kind of my synopsis
- 37:13Speaker 2: there of FANDUL because it's taken away the d Backs
- 37:18Speaker 2: and the Mets. So I'd put the Dodgers of the
- 37:21Speaker 2: top stack O run FanDuel personally.
- 37:23Speaker 1: There you go talk some bats. Eight games on DraftKings,
- 37:28Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Padres that started off. Neither team
- 37:31Speaker 1: couldn't get much ownership. As you can see, thirty one
- 37:33Speaker 1: percent combined for the Yanks thirty two percent for the Padres.
- 37:37Speaker 1: It is Yankee Stadium, though, place we love to play bats.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Looking at weather in this one, not great hitting weather,
- 37:46Speaker 1: only sixty degrees win blowing in a little bit, which
- 37:48Speaker 1: is why we see the total there. And two pitchers
- 37:51Speaker 1: that if we do get the green light like this,
- 37:53Speaker 1: ownership for Pavetta will be doubled. For Rodin, I mean
- 37:57Speaker 1: he's gonna probably be in the twenties as well. These
- 37:59Speaker 1: pitchers will be played. So, assuming everything's good to go,
- 38:03Speaker 1: can we get a little leverage off at either of
- 38:04Speaker 1: these pitchers?
- 38:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't love it. They're two of
- 38:07Speaker 2: the better pitchers on the slate to pick off. I'm
- 38:10Speaker 2: sure one offs, etc. I'm just to be honest, I'm
- 38:13Speaker 2: approaching the slate outside of maybe Paveta as this game
- 38:17Speaker 2: is just not gonna play. Padres have the best bullpen
- 38:20Speaker 2: in baseball. Yankees are sitting about sixth in baseball right now.
- 38:24Speaker 2: So I just don't love it personally. Sure, can you
- 38:27Speaker 2: play Judge yet? Absolutely can play Judge anytime. I don't
- 38:29Speaker 2: care if there's thirty forty mile hour wins blown in.
- 38:32Speaker 2: Judge has enough power to hit it out of anywhere,
- 38:33Speaker 2: especially Yankee Stadium. Gold Schmid, the dude just red hot
- 38:38Speaker 2: at the plate, never strikes out, always puts the ball
- 38:39Speaker 2: in play.
- 38:40Speaker 3: Grisham just murders right hand and pitching.
- 38:42Speaker 2: But I just don't think, especially at these salaries, that
- 38:45Speaker 2: I'm gonna go here on the padres side. I don't
- 38:47Speaker 2: want to pick on Rodin. I mean, for bats, this
- 38:51Speaker 2: is a cross off spot. Fifty degrees temperature in the fifties,
- 38:54Speaker 2: double digit wind blown in kind of the entire duration,
- 38:57Speaker 2: plus shitty weather. I mean, the players can't be despite
- 39:02Speaker 2: the matchup right where they would typically be looking forward
- 39:04Speaker 2: to it, there's enough games ahead of them and the
- 39:07Speaker 2: rest of the series that they're probably not two enthused
- 39:09Speaker 2: to go out there and play in fifty degrees in
- 39:12Speaker 2: raining throughout the entire duration of the game.
- 39:14Speaker 3: So I don't love that personally.
- 39:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't love it either. You can check out
- 39:18Speaker 1: like the pitcher rankings right here as well. Rodin and
- 39:21Speaker 1: Nick Pavetta do grade out really well, So pavettam I
- 39:25Speaker 1: prefer play if you're doing anything. I mean, the Yankees
- 39:28Speaker 1: don't grade out poorly by any means in the stack rankings. Obviously,
- 39:31Speaker 1: one of the best offenses in baseball, So if you
- 39:34Speaker 1: want a mini or something, Pavetta gets some steam. I
- 39:37Speaker 1: don't think it's the craziest. Definitely not good hitter rankings
- 39:40Speaker 1: on the pod race side, I would ignore that, so Paveta.
- 39:42Speaker 1: I do have interest in Rodon I think is a
- 39:45Speaker 1: solid pivot in that range as well. But I do
- 39:48Speaker 1: think if you're playing like sixty teams like Naids, I
- 39:50Speaker 1: would definitely have a couple of Yankees. Not necessarily has
- 39:53Speaker 1: to be fives, but two three men, and of course
- 39:55Speaker 1: you can always play some one offs. They got power,
- 39:59Speaker 1: a pop fly to left field, can sneak over the
- 40:01Speaker 1: fence right field, et cetera. In this park, so little interest,
- 40:04Speaker 1: not much. Another two pitchers that great out well in
- 40:07Speaker 1: the pitcher rankings that you might not expect, Brady Singer
- 40:10Speaker 1: number five, A J. Smith Shau for number seven. We're
- 40:14Speaker 1: looking at eight and a half total in this one.
- 40:16Speaker 1: The last one was seven and a half. Little juice
- 40:18Speaker 1: on the over at minus one twelve Braves minus one
- 40:22Speaker 1: thirty five favorites, look at their ownership very low with
- 40:25Speaker 1: a solid team total. Again, I had some interest in Singer,
- 40:29Speaker 1: but I mean, if the Braves are completely unknown that
- 40:31Speaker 1: you do want to eat Reagan's and boy chalk, Are
- 40:34Speaker 1: the Braves a team that you were fine five manning?
- 40:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind. I prefer the brave side of
- 40:40Speaker 2: this game for sure. Start with the lefties, Olsen, Verdugo,
- 40:45Speaker 2: Albi's Harris. You kind of want the lefties mainly against Singer.
- 40:48Speaker 2: But the Reds bullpen, I mean, they ranked pretty good,
- 40:50Speaker 2: but right now they're kind of towards the top half
- 40:54Speaker 2: of the board in terms of bullpen rankings throughout the
- 40:56Speaker 2: course of the season. But I just really don't think
- 40:58Speaker 2: the Red's bullpen is that great. In particular, Braves, they're
- 41:04Speaker 2: fine as the leverage stack. All these guys are gonna
- 41:06Speaker 2: be unowned. I prefer more as a mini stack, just
- 41:09Speaker 2: historically with his Braves team, because they do have definitely holes.
- 41:12Speaker 2: I will say Eli White has been absolutely ripping the
- 41:15Speaker 2: cover off the baseball. He's got stolen base upside as well,
- 41:19Speaker 2: So I like, I think Eli White's interrusting down there
- 41:21Speaker 2: at thirty two hundred in the outfield, and then you
- 41:24Speaker 2: can you can add in Michael Harris and do a
- 41:26Speaker 2: little wrap around like a Michael Harris. Eli White, Verdugo
- 41:28Speaker 2: is gonna be absolutely unknown, doesn't break the bank. And
- 41:31Speaker 2: then obviously Riley Ozuna, Olsen Murphy are are great plays
- 41:35Speaker 2: anytime they're on the slate.
- 41:37Speaker 3: Regardless of the pitcher. For the most part, as you
- 41:39Speaker 3: can see there by, the ISO numbers tons of power.
- 41:42Speaker 2: So I don't hate the brave side of this game.
- 41:44Speaker 2: On the red side, Shaver can get wild at times
- 41:48Speaker 2: with control, and if you give these Reds free passes,
- 41:50Speaker 2: they issue that the Reds have is their strikeouts, right,
- 41:52Speaker 2: So if they're getting free passes, they're they led the
- 41:55Speaker 2: majors I believe last year. And stolen bases, so I
- 41:59Speaker 2: don't hate some of the Some of the Reds I
- 42:01Speaker 2: perform more as mini stacks, so I actually have interest
- 42:04Speaker 2: in somewhat of the Red stacks more just.
- 42:08Speaker 3: Picking on you can steal bases on Shava. I know
- 42:11Speaker 3: it's a limited sample size.
- 42:12Speaker 2: He's only allowed for stolen bases in kind of the
- 42:14Speaker 2: last two seasons from what we have, but stolen based
- 42:17Speaker 2: per innings pitch numbers are towards the top of the
- 42:19Speaker 2: board on the slate actually the best to pick on
- 42:23Speaker 2: in terms of stolen base per innings pitch and that's
- 42:26Speaker 2: what the Reds like to do, so you don't need
- 42:28Speaker 2: the baseball to go over the wall with the Reds
- 42:31Speaker 2: with how much they run, so stolen based guy's there
- 42:34Speaker 2: for the Reds that you're looking at Ellie obviously, Spencer
- 42:38Speaker 2: Steer if he's in there, Frehley, Friedo, Marte spin All,
- 42:43Speaker 2: Gavin Lux will run a little bit. Those are kind
- 42:44Speaker 2: of the main guys you're looking at there that has
- 42:46Speaker 2: some stolen based upside.
- 42:48Speaker 1: It's got to be one of the better hitting environments
- 42:50Speaker 1: on the slate too. I mean, not necessarily like that.
- 42:53Speaker 1: It's like deep in summer Truest Park eighty five degrees.
- 42:57Speaker 1: It's not necessarily that. But the slate in general for
- 43:00Speaker 1: hitting weather isn't great across the country, slight, wind blown
- 43:03Speaker 1: out temperatures in the mid sixties. It's a he said,
- 43:07Speaker 1: decent hitting park in general.
- 43:09Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean the power guys for sure, and
- 43:12Speaker 2: then adding some stone base upside on the Red side
- 43:15Speaker 2: I think is a pretty interesting game. You notice by
- 43:17Speaker 2: the total, one of the bigger totals on the board,
- 43:21Speaker 2: so I don't hate it for sure.
- 43:23Speaker 1: Yeah, Third Vegas, I mean it's close to the second
- 43:25Speaker 1: with Mariner's a's eight and a half it has just
- 43:28Speaker 1: says a little more juice on the over looking at ownership.
- 43:31Speaker 1: I mean, the more I look at it, like this
- 43:33Speaker 1: is a spot that Brave Side, I'm fine with some
- 43:36Speaker 1: singer at pretty low ownership. I like the Braves though
- 43:39Speaker 1: in chalkier teams with chalking and pitching, Shaffer is gonna
- 43:42Speaker 1: get ownership as SV two a little bit as well,
- 43:46Speaker 1: So if you want a little red minis like you're saying,
- 43:48Speaker 1: I like this game for bets. The more I thought
- 43:50Speaker 1: about it, Brave Side definitely the five Man's prefur the Lefties,
- 43:53Speaker 1: no doubt about that. But I mean Riley went deep
- 43:56Speaker 1: yesterday twice, so Zoom has always got pop and you
- 43:58Speaker 1: mentioned Eli, White, Harris all these obviously, I mean, yeah,
- 44:02Speaker 1: I like this lineup. The more I kept talking about it,
- 44:05Speaker 1: I did want to say that go collect very fair.
- 44:07Speaker 1: I have not asked one, so I guess partly on me.
- 44:10Speaker 1: But if you're out there to us one second. But
- 44:13Speaker 1: if you're on your phone and you're watching on the side,
- 44:15Speaker 1: hit the script full screen, the thumbs up and the
- 44:18Speaker 1: subscribe right there. If you're on the computer, you're probably
- 44:20Speaker 1: staring at it right now. Helps us out a ton
- 44:23Speaker 1: bring you shows for free on this channel every single day.
- 44:26Speaker 1: So like bun subscribe button does help us out a ton,
- 44:29Speaker 1: think you go collect for making my job easier. Next
- 44:32Speaker 1: game on the Slates, Nay's new favorite team. Actually I
- 44:35Speaker 1: did want to bring up this too. Who's got more
- 44:38Speaker 1: fires stash? Hammered DAIDs. Both are nice. I can't grow
- 44:42Speaker 1: anything for shit, both of them, grown ass men that
- 44:45Speaker 1: can grow. Nad's is nice, but I will say Hams
- 44:49Speaker 1: is real, real puffy and really out there.
- 44:52Speaker 3: Has definitely this is the first time I actually gave
- 44:54Speaker 3: her a go. Ham's definitely got the years of experience.
- 44:58Speaker 3: I'll side with Ham, but I'll take I'll take night
- 45:02Speaker 3: not being in the sheets at seven thirty at night,
- 45:04Speaker 3: going to bed overgrown a nice stash there. It's a
- 45:07Speaker 3: little jabbing with boy Ham. But yeah, I gotta.
- 45:10Speaker 1: Say I'm with Ham. I'm in the sheets probably thirty
- 45:12Speaker 1: minutes after after that, very early over here on the
- 45:16Speaker 1: mountain time. But yeah, shout out Ham. Absolutely the man
- 45:19Speaker 1: can definitely grow a nice stash and Nads can as well.
- 45:22Speaker 1: But back to this, Naid it's probably the chalkiest team
- 45:25Speaker 1: on the slates, the team that got you four figures
- 45:28Speaker 1: yesterday at Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Looking at a seven and a half total, some juice
- 45:34Speaker 1: a little bit on the over at minus one twelve
- 45:36Speaker 1: Royals big favorites minus two twenty five. Obviously, Reagan's number
- 45:40Speaker 1: one of the picture rankings going to be very chalky.
- 45:43Speaker 1: So is there any White Sox bats we can pick off?
- 45:46Speaker 1: Royal side? You mentioned a little pre show you didn't
- 45:49Speaker 1: love it as much. If you're playing them, are you
- 45:52Speaker 1: fine playing Reagan's boyd? If you're playing them, how would
- 45:55Speaker 1: you play them? Are you playing them at all?
- 45:59Speaker 3: Yeah? So I'll start with the Royal side.
- 46:01Speaker 2: I mean, this is the best spot on the slate
- 46:04Speaker 2: in terms of stacks, but it is only a seven
- 46:07Speaker 2: and a half total. Shane Smith is like the best
- 46:11Speaker 2: pitcher that Chicago does have. I mean he has the
- 46:14Speaker 2: most talent. He's actually an okay pitcher. I mean he's
- 46:18Speaker 2: not gonna blow up get a ton of swing and misses.
- 46:21Speaker 2: I mean he's sitting about a twenty one percent k rate,
- 46:24Speaker 2: but he limits hard contact hitters. In one hundred and
- 46:27Speaker 2: eleven played appearances over the last thirty days, hitting for
- 46:30Speaker 2: a point oh eight two Iso Casey struggles to hit
- 46:32Speaker 2: home runs in general, obviously outside of last night, but
- 46:34Speaker 2: it's completely different weather here tonight as well compared to
- 46:39Speaker 2: last night, wins kind of blown across the field. Temperatures
- 46:42Speaker 2: are are decent right, kind of upper sixties, so it's
- 46:46Speaker 2: not the worst.
- 46:47Speaker 3: It's still a good park in general.
- 46:48Speaker 2: You're more so plain for the bullpen and then they
- 46:51Speaker 2: can play the platoons and the splits in that. So
- 46:54Speaker 2: I'm much less interested in the Royals here tonight because
- 46:57Speaker 2: I do also think they're gonna get much more steam.
- 47:00Speaker 3: I mean, recentcy bias is massive.
- 47:01Speaker 1: Right.
- 47:02Speaker 2: We saw the Astros earlier, like two weeks ago or
- 47:04Speaker 2: whatever go off I think on a Sunday, right, and
- 47:07Speaker 2: we came back the next slate and the Astros were
- 47:09Speaker 2: like fifty just because we're blind, blindly on regardless of
- 47:14Speaker 2: matchups or anything, facing a right handed pitcher like it
- 47:16Speaker 2: was just it was ridiculous. So recently bias I think
- 47:19Speaker 2: are going to steam the Royals in general. It is
- 47:22Speaker 2: a pretty bad bullpen behind Jane Smith.
- 47:25Speaker 3: In general. I mean I would start with the the lefties.
- 47:29Speaker 3: Vinny p.
- 47:31Speaker 2: Drew Waters, my boy absolutely legends. So I like the lefties,
- 47:35Speaker 2: and then obviously add in Bobby Witt Perez. Any Royal
- 47:39Speaker 2: stack I would probably include Bobby Witt.
- 47:41Speaker 3: It's just hard to.
- 47:44Speaker 2: Hard to assume the Royals are going to smash without
- 47:46Speaker 2: Bobby Witt doing something hitting in kind of the two
- 47:49Speaker 2: spot there in the heart of that order. India is
- 47:51Speaker 2: on fire. Mikel Garcia, I will talk about him. Aton
- 47:54Speaker 2: reason I was so high on him yesterday is because
- 47:56Speaker 2: the stolen base upside. The dude's second on the team
- 47:58Speaker 2: and stolen bases behind Bobby Wit. Bobby wits one of
- 48:01Speaker 2: the best stolden based guys in the league. Obviously mckel
- 48:03Speaker 2: Garcia is right there with him on this team, so
- 48:06Speaker 2: there's naturally baked in upside there.
- 48:08Speaker 3: He's got some power, and it's at a week third
- 48:10Speaker 3: base position.
- 48:11Speaker 2: So Royals for sure great options. But just know you
- 48:14Speaker 2: go in there and you play the Royals and the
- 48:15Speaker 2: and the Mariners. Mariners minis with Royals five man's because
- 48:19Speaker 2: of how cheap they are, and you play you play
- 48:21Speaker 2: a Matthew Boyd and the Reagans, well you're holding hands
- 48:24Speaker 2: with everybody else. So when I play Royals, I'm probably
- 48:27Speaker 2: more likely to go to like a Paveta right, pivot
- 48:30Speaker 2: off of Reagans and not stack the Royals with Reagans
- 48:33Speaker 2: or pivot my or or maybe I go with Matthew
- 48:36Speaker 2: Boyd in a cheap pitcher and then go five Royals
- 48:39Speaker 2: and go like three maew.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Eli White Michael Harris like you just talked about or.
- 48:44Speaker 3: Something like that, correct something like that, and then go
- 48:46Speaker 3: to spend up arms and go like a maybe I
- 48:49Speaker 3: can get Aragon's in Paveta with five Royals and then
- 48:52Speaker 3: like the back half of the Braves or something like that.
- 48:54Speaker 3: Just different roster constructions.
- 48:55Speaker 2: When you're playing the Royals, it's clear cut the best
- 48:58Speaker 2: spot in the slate projection, they're going to slam it
- 49:00Speaker 2: as the best spot in the slate. The dry run
- 49:02Speaker 2: gave me when I when I look at stack exposure
- 49:05Speaker 2: right in terms of team stacks and five man stacks,
- 49:07Speaker 2: starting by projected score, it's twenty seven percent Royal stacks
- 49:11Speaker 2: and then twenty seven percent Seattle stacks, So it's basically
- 49:16Speaker 2: splitting forty lineups each in one fifty sets between the
- 49:20Speaker 2: two of them. When I go overall stacks, it's sixty
- 49:22Speaker 2: percent of the lineups with with a higher lean to
- 49:24Speaker 2: Seattle because of more of the mini stacks due to
- 49:26Speaker 2: the price point. So those are two of the chalky
- 49:29Speaker 2: spots in the slate. Royals is a big talking point.
- 49:32Speaker 2: I'm not really worried about the platoon guys and the
- 49:35Speaker 2: splits because you're more so when you're stacking the Royals.
- 49:38Speaker 3: It's a bad bullpen behind him.
- 49:40Speaker 2: I think if the Royals do a ton of damage,
- 49:42Speaker 2: it's likely more so against the bullpen than it is
- 49:45Speaker 2: Shane Smith, you got to pick pick holes in point
- 49:48Speaker 2: holes at what kind of slates showing you? And I
- 49:51Speaker 2: just a little bit worried on the Royals today because
- 49:55Speaker 2: I suspect leading up the lock their ownership. Especially if
- 49:58Speaker 2: we get the green light right and we have two
- 49:59Speaker 2: more spind up pitchers that people are gonna want to play,
- 50:02Speaker 2: you can five man stack this Royals because outside of
- 50:04Speaker 2: Bobby Wit, everybody on this lineup is three k r
- 50:07Speaker 2: under for the most part. That that phil weak positions
- 50:10Speaker 2: like Nassy right at second base. Mi cal Garcia is
- 50:12Speaker 2: up four k. You got very cheap outfielders, a cheap
- 50:15Speaker 2: catcher in there with Freddy for meen, So I just
- 50:19Speaker 2: worried about how much they get steemed on the white
- 50:21Speaker 2: Sox side mm me only mini stacks only. I would
- 50:27Speaker 2: cap it at three man stacks. But guys like Chase
- 50:30Speaker 2: Meadroth at a weak position, gonna put the ball in play,
- 50:33Speaker 2: play him at second base twenty seven hundred, he's fine.
- 50:37Speaker 3: Andrew Vaughan, I guess, Luis Robert, I mean.
- 50:41Speaker 2: It's pretty gross. Ben and Tenn He's been swinging a
- 50:43Speaker 2: decent bat this year. But lefty, lefty, I mean it's
- 50:46Speaker 2: really M and me only, and even then I don't
- 50:48Speaker 2: love it. It's more so leveraging Reagans with some some
- 50:53Speaker 2: white Sox minis or one offs.
- 50:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we just looked at so obviously if
- 50:58Speaker 1: you add up all the ownership, fifteen percent for the socks,
- 51:01Speaker 1: not even double. We just talked about the Braves like
- 51:04Speaker 1: we actually like the Braves a little bit. I know,
- 51:06Speaker 1: the direct leverage, et cetera. It's an eight game slate.
- 51:09Speaker 1: I think there's enough ways to get different. I'd rather
- 51:11Speaker 1: play a J. Smith, Shaver and Nick Pavetta together and
- 51:15Speaker 1: fade Boyd and Reagan's. Then I would probably play three
- 51:18Speaker 1: white socks on my squad, So I think that part's easy. Royals.
- 51:22Speaker 1: I have Royals three we're gonna get to that Mets
- 51:24Speaker 1: Dbacks game. I really like that when talking ownership compared.
- 51:28Speaker 1: But I do prefer Royals to Seattle if having to pick,
- 51:31Speaker 1: And those are the two chalkists on the slate. What
- 51:34Speaker 1: do you how do you see Royals in Seattle when comparing.
- 51:37Speaker 3: The tale I'm definitely way. I mean, I'm with you there.
- 51:40Speaker 2: My favorite offense is the game we're gonna talk about
- 51:42Speaker 2: in Chase Field, both sides of that game.
- 51:44Speaker 3: But Royals checking number three for me as.
- 51:46Speaker 2: Well, and Seattle, to be honest at their ownership, I
- 51:50Speaker 2: think that's definitely a sell spot on me personally for me, especially.
- 51:55Speaker 3: At the ownership. I mean, I would much rather prefer
- 51:57Speaker 3: the Royals.
- 51:58Speaker 2: And again I say it all the time, Drew Waters
- 52:00Speaker 2: yesterday was two percent owned. I mean the back half
- 52:03Speaker 2: of this lineup, Drew Water has actually been playing good
- 52:06Speaker 2: for Freddy Furman. When you most guys are gonna play
- 52:09Speaker 2: Salvy Perez right punting and going to the back half
- 52:11Speaker 2: of that's a lot of lineup with Cole Osbell.
- 52:13Speaker 3: Who hey, this dude's been hitting home runs somehow.
- 52:16Speaker 2: I mean twenty four hundred and twenty three hundred play
- 52:18Speaker 2: those guys at the back half and then grabbing the
- 52:20Speaker 2: top guys don't go in and play one through five.
- 52:23Speaker 2: I would make sure to include at least one of
- 52:24Speaker 2: the seven eight to nine hitters in my royal stacks,
- 52:27Speaker 2: and naturally you're going to be more unique than than
- 52:29Speaker 2: guys that don't.
- 52:30Speaker 3: Create that rule or actually pay attention to it.
- 52:33Speaker 2: So in handbuilds it's a little bit easier, but I
- 52:35Speaker 2: wouldn't be opposed to doing it in an optimizer. Creating
- 52:38Speaker 2: a rule to include at least one of Water's furman
- 52:41Speaker 2: is bell and in five man royal stacks, because naturally
- 52:44Speaker 2: you're just gonna be different.
- 52:45Speaker 1: Makes a lot of sense. I think I'd be more
- 52:47Speaker 1: inclined to do that in a forty five dollars flag
- 52:50Speaker 1: shit than the one twenty one with four fifty people. Like,
- 52:53Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you just got to
- 52:55Speaker 1: make like a pivot in two spots where they're in
- 52:58Speaker 1: like four spots out of forty thousand people. Pretty hard
- 53:02Speaker 1: to do first place out of four hundred. Still hard,
- 53:04Speaker 1: but not nearly nearly as hard. So what you're playing
- 53:07Speaker 1: think about stuff like that as well. All right, next game,
- 53:11Speaker 1: Brewers and the astros, we talked about Tobias Myers and
- 53:14Speaker 1: Renel Blanco a little bit eight and a half total
- 53:16Speaker 1: some juice on the under at minus one fifteen Brewers
- 53:20Speaker 1: minus one eighteen favorites. You prefer lefties for sure when
- 53:24Speaker 1: targeting Blanco. You prefer lefties a little bit too, especially
- 53:27Speaker 1: on the k stuff. Meyers a lot more strikeouts on
- 53:30Speaker 1: the right side of the plate against the left. We'll say,
- 53:33Speaker 1: though the Astros projected lineup only one lefty in there.
- 53:36Speaker 1: That is your Dong. I mean, yeah, your dong probably
- 53:38Speaker 1: does go deep today. Don't hate him as a one
- 53:41Speaker 1: off at all. The price take on FanDuel has been
- 53:43Speaker 1: absolutely silly all year. He's been thirty two hundred pretty
- 53:47Speaker 1: much every single year. He's been in the cash corps
- 53:49Speaker 1: almost every single day. Just too cheap, more appropriately priced
- 53:53Speaker 1: on DK. I definitely like it as a one off
- 53:56Speaker 1: a mini stack. Astros are great out well in the
- 53:59Speaker 1: hitter rankings. I don't know if they can get to
- 54:00Speaker 1: Toby early. You're not going to get the best brewers'
- 54:03Speaker 1: bullpen arms guaranteed ninth in the get bats. I assume
- 54:06Speaker 1: the roof will be closed at Antham. But if I
- 54:09Speaker 1: had to pick a side, I would definitely be Stros
- 54:11Speaker 1: over Brewers. I know Blanco struggles with lefties. I got
- 54:15Speaker 1: to see these Brewers hit anything. It's been bad as
- 54:18Speaker 1: of late, but there's definitely better games on the slate
- 54:20Speaker 1: as you can see. That's why ownership. I mean, man,
- 54:23Speaker 1: it's a little higher than I expected. But yeah, Stro
- 54:25Speaker 1: side for me, if I had to pick, what about you?
- 54:28Speaker 1: So yeah, so there's no yord On in the lineup yesterday,
- 54:32Speaker 1: get hurt? Yeah yeah, So well then this lineups garbage.
- 54:35Speaker 1: I don't want. I don't want these.
- 54:36Speaker 2: Guys, so it's pain is leading off Altuve, Parades, Walker, Diez, Denzo, Myers,
- 54:43Speaker 2: Smith and Duban. So I mean I'm full fading the Astros.
- 54:48Speaker 2: It makes me like Toby even more, even with the
- 54:50Speaker 2: pitch count concerns. I mean, you take their best bat
- 54:54Speaker 2: out of the lineup and add in more strikeout happy bats.
- 54:58Speaker 2: I'm happy to play a fifty seven hundred OUR pitcher
- 55:01Speaker 2: on this slate. No Astros for me on the Brewers side,
- 55:04Speaker 2: lefties in particular, but even then, I mean, Blanco has
- 55:07Speaker 2: control issues. Double digital walk rate when you look at
- 55:09Speaker 2: last season, obviously that's driven heavily this year and when
- 55:14Speaker 2: you look at this season numbers by the lefties, I'm
- 55:17Speaker 2: sitting above right around fifteen percent. Walk rate to lefties
- 55:20Speaker 2: sixteen percent. When you look at full season last year,
- 55:24Speaker 2: he was about ten percent to both sides of the plate. Though,
- 55:27Speaker 2: Brewers are a patient offense, right They're not hitting for
- 55:29Speaker 2: a ton of power, but what do they have? They
- 55:31Speaker 2: do have speed. It'd be nice to see them actually
- 55:34Speaker 2: use their speed for once this season. But I think
- 55:37Speaker 2: things can go south. Not just because I'm a Brewers
- 55:40Speaker 2: fan in general. I'm just looking at the slate. Brewers
- 55:42Speaker 2: are going to be unowned mini stacks. I don't want
- 55:44Speaker 2: a five man stack them, but offense on this slate.
- 55:47Speaker 2: Like I said, I mean outside of the Seattle and Royals,
- 55:50Speaker 2: I mean everybody else is pretty similar in terms of ownership,
- 55:55Speaker 2: and nobody really knows what to do besides those two spots.
- 55:58Speaker 2: I've played this game long enough for multiple years. I
- 56:01Speaker 2: know when the slates seems to be that easy, that's
- 56:04Speaker 2: typically not the case. So I don't mind a team
- 56:06Speaker 2: that does have upside In my eyes in the Brewers,
- 56:09Speaker 2: I would look at the lefties, train and Yellich staples
- 56:12Speaker 2: in your stacks, but I expect Bowers to be in there.
- 56:14Speaker 2: Collins is gonna hit from the left side, and then
- 56:18Speaker 2: you got some low strikeout bats from the righties, guys
- 56:20Speaker 2: like Cherio. All right, Contreres doesn't strike out against righty's. Overall,
- 56:25Speaker 2: this team sitting on the season nineteen percent k rate
- 56:27Speaker 2: against righty's and double digital walk rate. All of these
- 56:30Speaker 2: guys on the team, outside of Durban and Cherio have
- 56:34Speaker 2: walk rates in north pushing fifteen percent, which is good
- 56:37Speaker 2: for hitters, so their patient offense, I think things can
- 56:40Speaker 2: go bad for blocoing. That's enough for me to consider
- 56:43Speaker 2: this Brewis team as a stack. Probably not main team category,
- 56:47Speaker 2: but in M and me, I'm definitely gonna be over
- 56:48Speaker 2: on Brewers stacks.
- 56:49Speaker 3: I'll tell you that for sure.
- 56:52Speaker 1: I ain't gonna argue that so right, I just was
- 56:54Speaker 1: self fluster with the astro so the alrightyes, all nine
- 56:57Speaker 1: of them. If Toby Myers can throw seven five pitches
- 57:00Speaker 1: today at five point seven K I like that a lot.
- 57:04Speaker 1: The more I keep looking at Toby, the more I
- 57:06Speaker 1: like it. It's what is what's his pitch count? That's
- 57:09Speaker 1: pretty much what you're guessing at what you're hoping to get, right,
- 57:12Speaker 1: But I mean he's fifty seven hundred.
- 57:14Speaker 3: I'll take the chance. Look at how many of these
- 57:16Speaker 3: hitters on the slate. I mean, the entire Cubs roster
- 57:19Speaker 3: basically is more expensive than him, right, and.
- 57:20Speaker 2: He's got guys at the back half that are thirty
- 57:23Speaker 2: percent k raid or higher against right hand pitching, guys
- 57:25Speaker 2: like Denzel Right, Christian Walker, who is brutal, Diaz.
- 57:28Speaker 3: All these guys have been struggling.
- 57:30Speaker 2: Brendan Rodgers forty pushing forty percent k rate on the
- 57:32Speaker 2: road this year against righties. He's got good strike up stuff,
- 57:35Speaker 2: and I think again it's the second start if there.
- 57:38Speaker 2: If he's pitching solid, I mean our bullpen has been
- 57:41Speaker 2: beat up all year, I don't see it. So I mean,
- 57:44Speaker 2: if he can get me seventy seventy five pitches against
- 57:46Speaker 2: this lineup, I like it a lot.
- 57:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely like it, obviously. I mean, no, Jordong
- 57:52Speaker 1: is an absolute massive hit for that lineup.
- 57:54Speaker 2: I missed that. I missed that too. That just shows
- 57:56Speaker 2: you how little I've played the Astros. I haven't played
- 57:58Speaker 2: the Astros at all all year. So well, even yourdon
- 58:01Speaker 2: I mean, people always chase Jordon, I just any any
- 58:05Speaker 2: pitcher with a pulse, and any organization with a pulse
- 58:08Speaker 2: this year, he's gonna pitch around Jordon, right, So if
- 58:10Speaker 2: you want to go in there and play Jordon at
- 58:12Speaker 2: fifty three hundred and get you two walks and maybe
- 58:15Speaker 2: one guy is stupid enough to throw him a pitch
- 58:16Speaker 2: and he hits it out, I mean sure, but more
- 58:18Speaker 2: times than not, he's not gonna be I like other
- 58:21Speaker 2: guys upside more personally.
- 58:22Speaker 3: So that's kind of why I haven't really noticed.
- 58:24Speaker 1: He was on the IL and this he has been
- 58:27Speaker 1: out since Friday. I played Friday, and I.
- 58:29Speaker 3: Played yesterday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I didn't even notice
- 58:32Speaker 3: because I don't. I mean, I click on the slate
- 58:35Speaker 3: look at the astros, and I'm more so worried about
- 58:37Speaker 3: the who I'm going to pitch against that head lineup
- 58:40Speaker 3: than play the hitters.
- 58:41Speaker 1: Yeah, losing Kyle Tucker right in front of Yordong definitely,
- 58:44Speaker 1: or right after Yordoon definitely did not help him at all.
- 58:48Speaker 1: But let's get to the Cubs and the Giants. You
- 58:50Speaker 1: mentioned pretty good pitching weather in Wrigley, some wind blowing in.
- 58:54Speaker 1: We are looking at a seven and a half total
- 58:57Speaker 1: juice on the under at minus one twenty five minus
- 59:00Speaker 1: seventy five favorites. Are the Cubs definitely not playing the Giants.
- 59:03Speaker 1: I'm in on Matthew Boyd now with the Cubs. When
- 59:07Speaker 1: iever I see the Cubs this low owned, this lineup
- 59:10Speaker 1: is just too good to be this low owned. They
- 59:13Speaker 1: got zero yesterday, Brewer shut them out, but man, two
- 59:17Speaker 1: games right before that, they put up a crooked number
- 59:20Speaker 1: had eight in the second inning. I brother said, he
- 59:22Speaker 1: showed up and he left literally in the second inning
- 59:25Speaker 1: to that game. The prices are expensive, but again you
- 59:28Speaker 1: can go Toby with Cole Wagans and five man the
- 59:31Speaker 1: Cubs and be totally fine. At this ownership. The Cubs
- 59:34Speaker 1: are number four, right behind the Royals. For me, I'm
- 59:37Speaker 1: in on the Cubs. The line that's just so good.
- 59:39Speaker 1: Anytime they're this owned, this low owned, I should say
- 59:42Speaker 1: I have interest What are you doing with the Cubs?
- 59:45Speaker 1: I definitely don't have interests in the Giants, but take
- 59:47Speaker 1: it away.
- 59:49Speaker 2: So the Cubs, right, Cubs are in a stack category
- 59:53Speaker 2: every night in today's state of the game, especially when
- 59:56Speaker 2: they're going to be unowned.
- 59:58Speaker 3: Do I love it? Absolutely not?
- 59:59Speaker 2: I mean what I look at multiple sites for weather,
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: temperatures in the fifties, wind blown straight in. I mean
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: I got it as negative thirty percent or higher boosts
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: or decrease for runs and even higher than that for
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: home runs. Is that everything? No, absolutely not. It's only
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: the other thing too. I mean, I don't love landa
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: Root by any means. He's pitching over his head and
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: he's kind of regressing. But the Giants bullpen is second
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: in baseball, behind the Padres right behind right behind him,
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: So if things go bad, they're gonna throw it right
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: to the bullpen.
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: Then I don't ever love it.
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: I think Cubs are probably fifth or sixth on the
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: slate for me, and I prefer more as mini stacks,
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: especially at these salaries. And then when you factor in
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: the bullpen and the weather, that's kind of two strikes
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: two strikes against them to lower them. But me, I mean,
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: you're never gonna go wrong, at least for the time being,
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: to get overweight on Cub stacks. Because even earlier in
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: the year, right that was like thirty degrees and snowing
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: in Wrigley, the Cubs went off for like fifteen runs,
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: So they can do it. I just play game of probabilities.
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: I just think they're probabilities of having another team I'll
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: score them is significantly higher. But again, they're all gonna
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: be unowned, and it's not gonna take much to get overweight.
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: So in my sixty in the five dollars, I'll probably
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: have overweight on cup stacks just naturally because that's just
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: the way I play, and it's not gonna take much
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: to get over I mean, if you have ten percent
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: cup stacks, your way over the field and you still
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: don't have to go crazy with it.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just say the wind was boiling out
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: and it was nice. I mean that's a five point six.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: And like the weather is always baked into this as well,
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: so it totally makes usually a home run, Like that's
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: just getting over the fence now is a warning track
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: fly ball, and that definitely stings. But again, ownership run
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: total all that's accounted for with that weather. That's the
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: game on the slates, Saint Louis Cardinals Pittsburgh player. It's
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: looking at an eight and a half total minus one
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: fifteen on the under. Looking at the pitcher rankings here,
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: either greats out too well. You mentioned earlier, Mikolas is
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: someone you can play for very cheap, but also stack
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: against a little bit the Cardinals. I know, gee Rysen
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: always hates on the Cardinals, but ownership in check run
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: total fine. I don't know what are you doing this?
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: This seems like a sneaky game. I could get some
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: offense in that that not many are in chalk your teams.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I like this game both sides. I think the
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: I wrote it in the slate plan. I put the
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: Pirates in there because they're literally I mean number one
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: Cardinals bullpen is just absolutely horrendous. Behind Miklis, who I
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: don't think is very good by any means. He's not
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: gonna go out there strike out a ton of guys.
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: I mean, he's a blow average strike on arm. He
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: doesn't allow a ton of power. But again, I mean
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: O'Neil Cruz, Brian Reynolds, McCutcheon, Valdez. I mean, I think
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: a lot of these guys you can definitely play. I
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: like the Pirates quite a bit here tonight, actually, and
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: I don't.
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: Think many people are gonna play him. I don't think
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: it's in twenty two. I was gonna be Tellton the.
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates on on an MLB show, but just the nature.
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: If this was a bigger slate with better hitting environments
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: across the board, I would have zero interest in the Pirates.
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: But again, when I mean teams like the Mariners are
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: gonna be mega mega chalk just because of the slate,
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: I mean I think the Pirates are fine.
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: Personally.
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: I prefer McCutcheon, O'Neal, Cruz, Brian Reynolds. Reynolds and Cruise
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: are by far the two best bats. Don't sleep on
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: Valdez right at thirty three hundred, hit and fifth play
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: first base.
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: That's a cheap price point there.
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: And then you guys got guys like Adam Fraser at
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: the back half that you can play that just put
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: the ball in play at a week second base position.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: So I actually like the Pirates. And then on the
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: Cardinals side, I don't mind them either. I mean I
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: like both sides of this game. Large new bar By
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: far my favorite bat, and then uh probably Nolan Gorman
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: at thirty four hundred.
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: They're just a power guy second base, third base.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: To the worst positions on the board for players wise,
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: especially at tonight's slate. So I like both sides. I
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: prefer the Pirates slightly more. I think in tournaments. But
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: the Cardinals are dirt cheap as well, and I think
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: at similar salaries, that's your pivot off of the Royals
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: at I mean, because their salaries are pretty much equal,
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: even at the top end.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: So I don't hate it prefer the Pirates side more.
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: Cardinals are interesting as well, just because Cardinals bullpen is
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: assd So that's why I give.
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: The slight and lean to the Pirates side.
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: Makes a lot of sense, and I always like when
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: it's really close from here. For me, the guaranteed ninth
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: inning at bats always go a long way. Even though
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: they got nine up. You can easily get a couple
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: more in the ninth where you lose that at bats
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: as the home team if you are winning all right,
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: next game two games left. This one has the highest
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: total on the slate d Backs, and that's nine and
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: a half. Little juice on the other at minus one
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: twelve minus one twenty favorites are the d Backs. My
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: two favorite stacks. I go one d Becks two Mets
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: and Corby and Carroll is my favorite beat on the slates.
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: It's not even close. I mean, the dude is just
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: next level power speed combo at the top of this order,
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: Griffin Canning is not good by any means to right
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: E's to left these below average and strikeouts. Ryan Nelson
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: isn't good against really either anyway, lefties a little better
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: than righty's. But you can stack these guys one through
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: nine on both sides. I think what I like, Like,
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: I'm always fine playing Alec Thomas, Gabriel Moreno Suarez one
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: through nine of the d Becks. I like it the Mets.
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm fine playing a Kunya at a
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: second base week second base position. Same thing with Jeff McNeil.
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: He'd be my least favorite. If I had to pick.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: Francisco has got power, nim like, you can play these
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: guys one through nine, and that's outside of one through
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: three are not expensive. D Becks outside of one, Marte
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: and Carrol not expensive. So yeah, I mean it's all
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: in on this game. Looking at ownership, I mean this
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: has to come up a little bit, especially on the
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: D back side maybe, but regardless, people are gonna go
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: Mari Nerds, people are gonna go Royals, So yeah, d
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: Back's my favorite. MAT's number two. What do you got?
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm with you, lockstep d BAC's my favorite
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: stack on the slate by far.
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: They're starting to.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: Hit the ball as well. They hit well yesterday. It
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: was good hitting weather there in Philly. The roof's gonna
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: be open here tonight. Best hitting weather by far on
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: the slates. Have to assume it's pretty warm. You obviously
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: live out there.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Chili compared to what it usually is, but relative to
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: everywhere else in the country. It was raining. It just
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: sunning up and getting good hit and hitting weather. So yeah,
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: it'll it'll be a beautiful day.
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: Yeah, compared to the slates, this is some of the
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: best hitting environment on the slates, not necessarily for home runs,
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: but just runs in general overall. And I mean I
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: like it a lot.
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: I'd focus on the fly ball guys to start for
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: the d Backs against the Mets.
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: What you're looking at.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: Suarez, Corbyn, Carrol Perdomo, Marte Girriel. Obviously they have stolen
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: base upside as well in there with guys like Carol
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: and Perdomo. So I really really like the rap around stack.
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: I mean, you got my boy, my hero Alec Thomas
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: projected in there. I don't know if he's gonna be
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: in there Moreno as a cheap catcher that can hit
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: the ball in the air. I love this entire lineup
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: one through nine again Folcus on those flyball guys, and
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: then on the Mets side, you want the lefties first,
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: lind Or Soto, two of the best players in the slate,
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: Jesse Winker All you BVP guys out there, if you
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: want to look it up, Winkers destroyed Nelson two. I
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: always love to throw that tidbit out there because BVP
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: is always a love hate relationship in the in the
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: baseball space, whether you believe in it or not.
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: Always like to hear it. Yeah, though I'm on the
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: side if I don't look at it too much.
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: I mean, I'd always like to hear it. It's not
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: a decision making point for me. But I just always
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: look at it, just because I mean looking at it.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: He's three for eight, two home runs, three seventy five average. Actually,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: this entire Mets team is just destroyed Nelson, in particular,
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: when I look at the entire roster overall against Nelson,
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: Nelson's got a fifteen p K rate, slugging of six
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: sixty four in an expected batting average of three to
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: eleven against this Mets roster. So I love both sides
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: of this game. Prefer the d Backs side because I
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: think they're gonna be lower own than the Mets. Start
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: with the lefties for the Mets, but I would definitely
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: definitely include Peede Alonso in your stack as a staple.
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: I mean, the dude's hitting the cover off the baseball
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: right now, fifty seven hundred, He's gonna be pretty unknown
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: the left He's is gonna soak up most of the ownership.
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: And then guys at the back half like a Kunya
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: who has stolen based upside as well at second base
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: week position in general puts the ball in play. I
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: love this game. Definitely a game stack viable. Highest total
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: on the board, Vegas has just pick them, and uh yeah,
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: I think it's a great spot.
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: I'm seeing the d Backs lineup is out. I'm not
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: seeing the Mets because someone said winkers out. Oh yeah,
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: you're done with now. I'm seeing you're done an hour,
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: go one to the io. I'm not seeing the Mets
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: lineup out. Someone said winkers out very well or maybe
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: got hurt yesterday. That's what they're saying. Because I'm looking
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: at somewhere else. That he's not in the projected lineup.
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, I mean if he's out.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: Regardless someone the projected lineup, I'm looking as Tyrone Taylor
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: and there at the bottom.
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like.
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: But still, I mean the Mets are still great in
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: terms of bullpens. Let me just look real quick.
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: Back d Becks have the same lineup by the way,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: well like Suarez is hitting fifth Moreno. Six, Gary El seven,
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: but the same projective of the nine we have are
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: the same in there. But yeah, it's Winkers not going
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: to be in the lineup. The official lineup's not out yet,
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: but he must be on the io.
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: So the Mets have the better matchup in terms of
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: bullpens and the uncertainty of Nelson and how good they've
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: hit Nelson. So slight lean to the Mats. That's going
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: to be the Chalker side. But again, ownership is not
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: gonna matter in general, at least rejected wise in either
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: of these teams. For the most part. Again, the Chalk
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: is Seattle and Kansas City.
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: The Optimizer dry run showed you that, I mean, one
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: hundred and one hundred and fifty percent of the total
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: Stack ownership was soaked up between those two teams, so
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: Matt's definitely have the better matchup in general, guaranteed nine
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: at bats. Looking at Arizona pen, four point five e
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: r a one point three to one whip, which is
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: not great. Eighth worst bullpen in baseball as it ranks
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: right now. Matts do have a good bullpen in general,
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: but still three point three point oh seven e r
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: a one point one seven.
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: Whip, which is still above the league average. There So
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: love this game in general.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: McNeil or Marte from our from our guy Philly Phantom. Also,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta get this the il thing figured
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: out on the stone. It's gonna drive me nuts all year.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: Yeah, i'd lean to McNeil just because you can play
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: them at second base, and second base sucks.
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: In general, and I lean to the lefties, So give me,
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: give me a McNeil.
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: Yeah, he was on it seventeen hours ago. I mean
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: the jord On I can he was put on an
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: hour ago. I didn't expect that to be updated. But
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna get that figured out. Moving forward.
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: There's a million things going like I play, I'm a NBA,
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: I play I'm in man, I play PGA. There's MLB
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: Like I had all the notifications, but by no means
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: am I a baseball savant that knows every single thing
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: about every single guy. So I'm not gonna pretend I
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: do all right. Last game of the Slates, appreciate everyone
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: hanging out to get like Bun subscribe, but helped us
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: out A ton Oakland Athletics Seattle Mariners eight and a
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: half total minus one eighteen on the over minus one
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: fifteen are the Mariners in this one. Severino, Bryce Miller
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: on the mound, we talked about it's huge, huge ownership
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: going to the Mariners. I mean they're very cheap. Only
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: one bad above five. K cal Raley absolutely been out
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: of this world. Bottom of the order isn't too scary
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: for me. And we talked about sever Reno like I
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: like a little bit of Severino, mainly for the direct leverage.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: Kprop was fine. You mentioned the weather and the wind
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: earlier that you don't think it's great hitting weather by
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: any means. A's I don't know what about them. They're
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: low other side of the chalky spot. Pricing very fair,
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: They're low owned. We don't have Terse and Bryce Miller
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: much yeah, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the A's.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: I like the A's more than Mariners. That ownership for sure.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't like the Mariners at all, looking
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: at the slate, looking at some stuff that I look
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: at in terms of ballpark pale, and that sevar Reino's
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: got the second best prop on the slate to earn
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: a quality start. So that also increased my interest. Right
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: when we were talking about pitching and the leverage built
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: in there. The guys I would focus on if you're
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: playing the Mariners as the lefties, Polanco cal Raleigh being
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: the main two. If you're stacking the Mariners, do not
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: leave those two guys out of your stack. Those are
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: the two best plays from the Mariners. Rowley tells at
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: twenty four hundred as a pont the dude's been absolutely crushing.
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: I don't know what happened to him this year, and
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: he's still dirt cheap. So I would focus on the lefties.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: I hate JP Crawford, but he hits from the left side,
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: so if you want to throw him in, and then
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: rookie Ryland Thomas, if he's in there, it is a
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: solid bat.
- 1:13:06Speaker 3: I'd focus on the lefties, I don't love it. I'm
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: fading the Mariners.
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: Personally, I'll be underweight in them and me I'm not
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: full fading them because I'm probably gonna play majority almost
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: everyone in terms of stacks in my me set, but
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: in single entry three max, I'm fading the Mariners actually,
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: like sever Reino. On the athletics side, uh, the lefties, Butler, Soderstrom,
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: Bladet are kind of the main guys. I'm looking at
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: Nick Kurtz if you if you need a value at
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: first base and then you can always play shaling Leers,
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: Jacob Wilson, that dude puts the ball in play always,
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: and then Brent Rooker obviously. So this A's team actually
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: has a good lineup in general, even the back half
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: put the ball in play outside of Nick Kurtz, right,
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: you look at the total strikeouts last year, this was
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: the team we picked on constantly because they were in
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: towards thirty percent k rate against right hand and pitching
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: not the case this year. And Soderstrom being my favorite
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: bat Siderstroum, Butler, Bladet are kind of the three main
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: guys you're looking at their Adam Rooker, Adam langlears, don't
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: have to worry about ownership in general. Decent park in
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: general to play in. But again, the weather wise fifteen
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: to twenty nine hour wins kind of blowing in from
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: left foul pole to kind of right folpole, right field
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: follow line, kind of temperatures in the sixties, so not
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: the greatest hitting environment. And I do think weather is
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: going to drive this park in general over the course
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: of the season.
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I more I look at it. I like the
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: Cardinals Pirates more than I would like the A's, so
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: they fall down the list. But yeah, the five dollars
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: out there, I've been focused on NBA pretty heavy. Probably
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: gonna throw some of that five dollars. And I agree
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: with you. Great thing about contest flashback with Sabersim again
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: the best right now, the best deal. If you haven't
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: used this djen seventy five, get to the core package
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: usually ninety nine bucks, follow the content all the way
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: down to twenty four. But if you do use your
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: first month with that and realize you really like Sabersim
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: for only thirty dollars more is the starter package and
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: you get this contest flashback. You can see what pros do,
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: what Neids does, what Rio does, what whoever you deem Sharp, Chipotle, Attic, Popagates,
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: whoever you think that you want to study. In all
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: the different tournaments they play in all the different sports,
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: you can see their ownerships, their exposures, all of that.
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: When I noticed in MLB it is very spread out,
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: it is very diversified. Why is that. We're already talking
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: about the one of the most high variant sports out there.
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: If you're building a lot of teams and making a
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: lot of teams, the reason you're doing that is so
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: when people are playing five teams, it's harder on them.
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: You want more combinations, You want to spread different things out.
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: Especially in baseball, it takes one team. Hoop absolutely boat
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: raced last week in the early slate. If you saw, though,
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: he had a lot less bubbles in the money than
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: he did out of the money. And that's what happens
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: with baseball because it's a stacking sport five to two
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: to ones, five threes. You diversify and stuff with those stacks,
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: and it only takes one, especially nowadays with how top
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: heavy tournaments are nowadays, fifty k first, fifteen second, couple
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: hundred bucks to like tenth you need first place if
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: you're playing long term enough so you don't want to
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: cannibalize your lineups as much. Like, yeah, I'm have eighty
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: percent d back stacks today they have two runs pretty
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: much drawing stone debt. That's I'm not, in my opinion,
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: the right way to build baseball lineups pretty much all sports.
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: Making a portfolio, diversifying the more teams you play is important.
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: But yeah, my favorite sacks, d Backs, Mets, Royals, and
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: then I probably would go to that Cardinals pick game
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: if I had to choose any final thoughts from you
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: before we wrap it up our fifteen talkings of baseball.
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: Yeah, some of the best players in the world. Giant
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: Squid rings a bell number one right there as one
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: of the best, and I studied him a lot. I mean,
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: he very rarely goes over fifteen percent stack wise in
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: baseball in his one hundred and fifty max Again, and
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: this is a slate where I'm more willing to it out.
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: More So, even in my sixty teams right where I'm
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: up against one to fifty maxers, I still have more
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: than majority of the field has. In that contest, I'm
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: likely going to be stacking majority of these guys, because
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: I mean a lot of these teams five percent stacks,
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: which is what I'm bad at math, But it's not
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: that many lineups.
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: You're still over the field, right, So if that team does.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: Go off, I mean it's you're over the fields, over
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: the field, regardless what it is, over the field. If
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: they're one Buddyhield was eight percent yesterday, I know it's
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: a different sport. Eight percent. You had twelve percent. You're
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: over the field relative to everyone else. Not a guy
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: that you absolutely need, so whatever that is. Yeah, So
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: I like that.
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: My my takes Matts and d backs number one, number two, one, A,
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: one B, however you want to you put it. Pirates
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: are are pretty sneaky for me. Braves are pretty sneaky
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: for me as well. Those are kind of two of
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: the teams that I'm looking at there. Pitching is pretty
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: cut and dry in my single Untrey three Max stuff.
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: I'm going Boyd and Reagan's at least on my main
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: team for the most part unless I see something else.
- 1:18:03Speaker 3: My favorite pivot would be Piveta.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: There seems like you agree with that, and definitely underweight
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: on the Mariners is kind of how I sum up
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: this slate.
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: Awesome stuff ma Aids and again his MLB slate plan,
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: Aids is on that today. You can get his favorite
