The fall system's going clear. The left one is going on Shipping Nation YouTube
0:39
station. We're back Monday the twentieth. Here breaking down the eight game slate
0:45
that does start at six forty Eastern time, about thirty minutes or earlier than
0:51
normal. So did want to make that note off the top. You got
0:54
the Brewers Miami game included on the slate, the Minnesota Washington game, and
0:58
the Boston Tampa Bay game all started before that standard seven oh five seven to
1:02
ten starting time. Didn't want to allude to that, So make sure you
1:06
do get your lineups in early. There is some juicy games early that we're
1:08
gonna talk about, so it is important to be ready. Make sure your
1:12
lineups are already updated and locked and loaded a little bit earlier than standard.
1:19
There. Did want to bring that up off the top. Here, say
1:22
hi to a couple people in chat before I bring my boy handwich in here.
1:25
We've got some new faces in the chat. Lyles in here, Sean
1:26
Sullivan, Richie Small's Umpire says I can't win umpire. Well, hopefully we
1:30
can help you find some winners here. But it is a high variant sport,
1:36
like we always say MLB. Here it's a grind, one hundred and
1:38
sixty two game regular season. We're not gonna win every day. I'm the
1:42
first one to tell you I don't win every day. Hamdwich doesn't win any
1:45
day. Anybody that gets on and talks about sports in terms of DFS that
1:49
tells you they're winning every day, they're flat out wrong, because it's absolutely
1:53
impossible to be winning every single day. If that was the case, everybody
1:57
would do it. Juice, what's up? Jake's everybody in the chat.

Monday. How was your weekend? What's going on? Brother? Ma'am of
3:23
aged twenty years according to W B Raison, got this gray beard on me.
3:28
My daughter calls me skunk boy. Makes you look twenty years older.
3:30
I have to shave it. So yeah, weekend was good. I listened
3:34
to you and title on Friday, got the slander, said, my daughter
3:37
is at promotion, fifth grade graduation. Don't want to call it graduation,
3:42
she said, into middle school. So if we got any listeners, man,
3:45
give me some advice of sending a daughter into middle school this day and
3:49
age. Hey, I need all the advice I can get. But she
3:51
graduated fifth grade. We went out to dinner that night. It was a
3:53
good night, good weekend. Played some softball. I know you played some
3:57
softball. I just coached softball. But looking forward to tonight, we got
4:00
a we got a fellow Tennessee night that's gonna be dominating the slate tonight.
4:04
Can't wait to talk about him. And then yeah, other than that,
4:08
let's get rolling this guy. This guy always has the takes. There Raezers
4:14
in the chat. Reezer, Yeah, I mean, I don't know if
4:15
how much looks forty or seventy five, but hey, you whatever works there.
4:19
Our guy Nick in the chat says his powers back. Congratulations Nick.
4:24
Love to see that. Sean Sullivan's digging the new beer looking good ship.
4:28
Sullivan. I don't know if you're a switch hit or what, but I
4:30
don't know what kind of what kind of what kind of image you're looking.
4:32
Maybe how much has some sort of filter on, maybe you're seeing something different
4:35
there, But no, it's all fun. Banter or Hamdwich. We always
4:39
appreciate him and his takes on this show, even if I don't agree.
4:43
That makes these shows fun. And I think we're not gonna agree on some
4:46
stuff here tonight. Just talking a little bit pre show here. This guy
4:49
comes in at the buzzer, so I didn't have a ton of time to
4:53
talk pre show. But how much we're gonna do like we always do,
4:56
talk pitching. We're gonna go eight K and above. I want to throw
4:59
in a couple guys. I want to throw out all the way down at
5:00
the bottom. Taj Bradley has looked absolutely electric. Now it gets these red
5:03
Sox outside of Fenway here at home in a pictures barre at just eight k,
5:10
talk on him, Talk on fran Bervaldez, the ground ball master himself
5:13
against this troutless angels lineup and then talk about the aces up at the top
5:17
to three, the Yamamotos, the Sonny Grays, and the Pablo Lopez.
5:21
I think this is a top end loaded pitching slate here. I do think
5:27
you can definitely get away with playing two of these guys up here and finding
5:30
some value bats because the lower tier is pretty weak. We're gonna talk about
5:34
a couple of guys here, but break down this top tier eight ken above.
5:38
I do think it's a pretty loaded range here. Yeah. I got
5:41
some good, real life, real life pictures. I talked about yesterday in
5:44
the quick Kid video that we had some aces yesterday and they didn't disappoint some
5:47
of you know, Corvin Burns turned back into Corbyn Burns against That was good
5:51
to see with his eleven k's. I know you're used to seeing him kay
5:55
left and right, but talking today's slate, I mean Yamamoto. I think
5:59
he's got a really good match taking on Arizona at home. He has been
6:02
good this season, but I'm gonna be lower than maybe the field. I
6:06
don't know where his ownership is or if he's gonna be the highest priced.
6:09
I definitely think you could play, but I'm gonna be a little bit lower.
6:12
He's just swinging strike stuff. It's not that great around thirteen percent of
6:15
both sides of the plate, and at ten five, we're gonna need a
6:17
lot of ke's to pay that off. I'm gonna be lower on Yamamoto,
6:20
the maybe most my favorite picture of this bunch, and this is where the
6:24
disagreements coming in Sunny Gray. I really like Sonny Gray. He is just
6:28
absolutely annihilating left handed batters right handed batters. Looking at his stuff. The
6:33
only one that really scares me on this bunch is Gunner Henderson. And obviously
6:38
Gunner leading the majors in home runs. He hit another leadoff home run yesterday.
6:43
But we get Sonny, we get him at home. Give me some
6:46
Sunny Gray. He's my favorite up in this range. Number two for me
6:48
up in here would be Pablo Lopez, and I was reading your slate plan.
6:53
I agree with you on this. I think Pablo's got a great matchup
6:56
as well. But the downside to Pablo is that National teams of just pesky.
7:00
They don't strike out a whole ton. But outside of C. J.
7:03
Abrams, maybe Eddie Rosario's all the way up to the second in the
7:08
lineup could give you some damage. But I don't see many gnats doing damage
7:11
outside of those two. But can he get the k upside? And then
7:15
yeah, you talked about Framber Valdez. I'm gonna be lower on Framber as
7:17
well. Not really a strikeout pitcher, if you will. I struck out
7:21
what was it, seven or eight a's the last time out, struck out
7:26
eight a's the last time out. But you know, traditionally Framber is a
7:30
is a seven percent ground ball pitcher to right handed batters. Obviously love that,
7:33
but not going to rack up those k's day in and day out.
7:38
And then yeah, TDZ Bradley is gonna be super popular. His last time
7:41
out, got twenty DraftKings points against this same Boston team. I don't put
7:46
much stock in you know, you saw him last time. You know you
7:49
know who has the advantage. I think it's Hey, they both make adjustments,
7:54
right, These are major league ballplayers, so they both make adjustments.
7:58
I want to talk about Tanner Hawk a little bit, but I'm out on
8:01
Tanner Hawk. Face this Race team. Last time you throw one hundred and
8:05
twelve pitches in that game. I just don't like a guy coming off four
8:09
days rest who just threw one hundred pitches. I know this Race team has
8:11
struggled against right handed pitch, and we saw Alec Manoa go off yesterday,
8:16
But I'm out on Hawk, and then really won't be getting to Logan Gilbert
8:20
or Marcus Stroman in this range either. Yeah, no, excellent, excellent
8:26
breakdown there. We differ a little bit here. I'm going to start up
8:28
at the top. Favorite of the group up at the top is Pablo Lopez.
8:31
I do get it. I just think overall, when you take into
8:35
account the overall offense of the d Backs and Baltimore, I just put those
8:41
offenses ahead of the Nationals here, I get it right, Scott cg Abrams.
8:43
You got some guys Rosario who turned that clock a little bit there,
8:48
and got some other guys that have gave some struggles as of late in that
8:52
Washington lineup, but being the cheapest in having the quote unquote easiest matchup of
8:58
the top three aces. Give me Pablo Lopez. I'm actually out on both
9:01
the other guys. I'm not gonna pay ten k on this slate. When
9:05
I like the big offenses, I like the Dodgers a lot, I think
9:07
Houston's good. I like Kansas City again, and then I like some of
9:11
these other offenses, right the Brewers, the Twins, things like that.
9:13
That ten k against the team that strikes out under twenty percent against right handed
9:18
pitching, so far this season and has an ice over two hundred. Gunner
9:22
Henderson is absolutely red hot right now. I mean, you put a piece
9:26
of bacon on that guy, and that thing's gonna sizzle up and you can
9:28
eat it for breakfast, because I mean, he's hitting beach ball. So
9:31
I'm not paying ten K for Sunny Gray. I get it right, electric
9:35
strikeout stuff has a thirty plus percent strikeout rate this season so far, but
9:39
I'm gonna be under on him. He is gonna be I think right now,
9:43
from what I'm seeing, ownership standpoint, Sunny Gray and You'm motor about
9:48
gonna be the same anywhere from probably sixteen to twenty three ish percent somewhere in
9:54
that ballpark, and they're both gonna be pretty similar. I'd just rather go
9:58
up to Pablo Lopez, who isn't gonna be that much higher owned. He's
10:01
definitely gonna be higher owned, and he should be, but realistically ownership is
10:05
not gonna make that big of a difference. So give me Pablo Lopez.
10:07
I'm out on the other two guys just because I like the expensive bats,
10:09
but I wouldn't fault you. That's just kind of where I'm going. Tanner
10:15
Hawk, I do have some interest in here. I'm not really scared of
10:18
the pitch count. Maybe he doesn't go out and throw one hundred and ten
10:20
pitches again here, but if he gets you eighty five ninety ninety five pitches
10:24
here, he has been stretched out all season. He has had good stuff
10:28
against this raised lineup in a pitcher's park. I don't mind pairing the pitchers
10:33
there in Tampa, hoping it's a pitcher's game, because I really love Taj
10:35
Bradley as well. So for me up in this top tier, number one
10:39
for me is Pablo Lopez. Number two for me is TODJ. Bradley,
10:43
and then Tanner Hawk is gonna be probably three, followed by Framber Valdez.
10:48
It's just I get it. Fraanbra Valdez not a massive strikeout guy. Looking
10:52
at the last thirty days here, about a twenty two percent strikeout right,
10:56
but strikes out forty three percent of lefties. I haven't looked at the lineup
11:01
here they anticipated lineup yet for the Angels, but there is a couple lefties
11:05
in there. Nonetheless, he's a seventy percent ground ball rate pitcher. It's
11:09
just hard for pitchers that have a extreme ground ball rate to get beat up
11:15
Houston Batts should give him some run support behind. So if I did have
11:18
to pick a fourth in this range, it would be Valdez. But I
11:20
really like how I really like Lopez, and I really like TODJ. Bradley
11:24
is kind of where I'm focused around and then I'm out on basically the rest
11:30
of this range. I'll kick it below eight k here, and I want
11:33
to throw out a couple of guys. Number one, Joe Ross down at
11:35
fifty eight hundred, playing these fish out of the water here in Miami.
11:39
Talk about Joe Ross at just fifty eight hundred has been pitched good in his
11:45
recent starts. And then Michael Waka walk a flock of flame there sixty six
11:48
hundred at home in Kaufman Stadium should have some run support behind him for Kansas
11:54
City facing this Detroit lineup. Hit on him, and then any interest in
11:58
other guys like Kadan Kramer, like the rookie and Mitchell Parker, Reed,
12:01
Debtmer or anything like that that you have interest in here. Yeah, it's
12:05
tough to get down to this range. Let's talk on Joe Ross a little
12:09
bit, because I do like him. If he was playing a right handed
12:11
heavy team and this Marlin's team tried it out five lefties, lefties almost a
12:16
thirteen percent barrel rate against him on the season. I'm out on Joe Ross.
12:20
I don't mind stacking the Marlins. To know, we're talking offenses,
12:24
but if Joe Ross is gonna be popular and give me some of these Marlin
12:26
bats, especially this power Chisholm Letoff yesterday, I believe he's leading off again
12:31
today. So don't mind those lefties. No Joe Ross for me. I
12:35
was looking at Reed Debt Meers. I don't think he's totally terrible, but
12:39
going up against Houston, no thank you, especially with whether they've been hitting
12:43
the baseball man. You said it earlier and he wrote it up. It's
12:46
tough to get down to these guys. I mean, you're not gonna play
12:48
Weathers against Milwaukee. You're not gonna play the one of the Arizona guys.
12:52
Man, it's tough. Walka would be the best of the bunch, you
12:56
know that Detroit, that Detroit offense. I wouldn't I wouldn't call it got
13:01
it going, but you know they had it going on this weekend in the
13:03
desert. Now they come to course field two point zero. Hey, Walka's
13:07
been really good his last two starts, so that would be my favorite of
13:09
the bunch. But man, it's going to be tough to pay for those
13:11
guys down there. Are interested to see if you like any of them.
13:16
Yeah, I have more interest than it seems than you do in Joe Ross.
13:18
I get it right. It is still at the end of the day,
13:20
it is still this Miami offense that we've picked on all season long,
13:24
and they have rolled out more lefties, but some of those left lefties,
13:28
even Jazz right striking out almost twenty six percent or twenty seven percent against right
13:31
handed pitching. I think this is a spot where Joe Ross, due to
13:35
the price, due to the nature of the pitching slate, I think that's
13:39
the reason I have interested in them. Fifty eight hundred or fifty eight hundred,
13:41
excuse me, because I do like the expensive offenses number one in being
13:46
the Dodgers, so in lineups where you need the salary, I do have
13:50
some interest in Joe Ross. What my favorite pitcher down here is definitely gonna
13:54
be a WAKA. I just like his stuff. This this Detroit team,
13:58
I'm not really scared of them. They still strike out over twenty five percent
14:01
on this season over or on the road. Excuse me, against right hand
14:05
and pitching. Waka has been decent at home. I like some of these
14:07
uh these royals as well. Bats on the other side. And then the
14:11
other guy kind of a contrarian play down in this lower tier would be the
14:16
guy on the other side of the fence on Waka. I mean, I'm
14:20
seeing Kansas City come in as decent, decently owned right they they've been burns.
14:26
We know this team right there. I like this team a lot,
14:28
but looking at rhs Olsen, especially over the last thirty days, he has
14:33
been very good, striking out twenty six percent of lefties limited hard contact.
14:37
No batters have not hit for any power against this guy. He's a ground
14:41
ball guy, fifty six percent ground ball rate. He limits the hard hits.
14:46
So I don't think he's the craziest play. But I definitely put Waka
14:48
and Joe Ross ahead of him. But there is a case where you can
14:52
punt pitching here on the slate and just pay up for big bats, because
14:56
I do want to make a point in years past, right we don't have
15:00
the pitchers we don't have the Spencer Strider of last season where he goes out
15:03
and he's you queue him in for thirty five to fifty DraftKings points or even
15:07
more than that Fanduo points. Right. We don't have the pitchers this year
15:11
that can absolutely just bury you if you don't play them. But what we
15:15
do have is offenses that can bear you if you don't play them, and
15:18
high price offenses, right, the Otani's, the Freeman's, the Mookie Bets
15:20
of the world. You can't spend up at pitcher and play the big bats,
15:24
So you got to make a choice. I do think there is a
15:26
value in merit tonight here to spend down and just pump pitching and play these
15:31
high priced offenses. Play the gunner Henderson's right against a little sunny gray,
15:35
play the Aaron Judges of the world, play the obviously the high priced Dodgers,
15:39
right, the high priced astros bets that we're going to talk about.
15:43
So in a situation like that, going to riese Olsen, going to Waka,
15:46
going to Joe Ross, pairing two of those guys together, or grabbing
15:50
a Taj Bradley and then one of those guys, I think is definitely the
15:54
route that I'm looking at here tonight because I like the high powered offenses,
15:58
so definitely a little bit different than kind of standard. But I didn't want
16:03
to make that points. There's just not the not the Garrett Coles in his
16:07
prime where he goes out and can absolutely bury you if you don't have him.
16:08
If you don't have him and his thirteen to fourteen strikeout game, right,
16:12
it's gonna be hard to win a tournament, whereas this year it's a
16:15
little bit different. So kind of just shaping and morphin with the nature of
16:19
the game is kind of what I'm my approach here tonight. I should say,
16:25
so, go ahead, Handwich, rank your top pitchers and then we'll
16:29
go hit her game by game. I'm surprised we've got new ones all over
16:33
Joe Ross tonight, and there's no Homerism there whatsoever. New and sticking strong
16:37
with his fellow Milwaukee people. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. Sonny
16:42
Gray's my favorite, followed by Pablo Lopez. Taj Bradley would be three,
16:48
Yamamodo would be four, Valdez would be five, and then I'm cutting it
16:52
off after there. I'm playing over on Fandel tonight, so I only need
16:56
one picture, so yeah, that'll be the five in my player pull over
16:59
there. Yeah, no excellent breakdown here, all things consider my sp one
17:03
on the slates price matchup, everything is gonna be todz Bradley. Eightks just
17:07
too cheap for him. I do think he comes in as the highest own
17:10
pitcher, but not really worried about that. Nothing. Ownership shouldn't be too
17:15
crazy. So TODs Bradley's number one for me, Pablo Lopez is going to
17:18
be number two, Number three for me Tanner Hawk, number four, waka,
17:22
and then number five is gonna be Joe Ross for my guy news in
17:26

17:30

time being, it is a free service for current members to give us feedback
18:29
and post it in the discord as well. Let's jump in. Let's talk
18:33
about this first game here. I'm assuming you have some interest in these fish
18:37
out of the water here, since you don't have any interest really in Joe
18:41
Ross that you said and you're calling guys in the chat homers for playing a
18:45
fifty eight hundred dollars pitcher against Miami in a pitcher's ballpark. But I'll throw
18:49
it over to you man talk on Milwaukee, Talk on Miami. I do
18:52
want to make one point. If this game we're in Milwaukee, I do
18:56
think ownership would be skewed, totally different. And I think both these offenses
19:00
to be much higher on than what they what they would be here tonight due
19:03
to this game being in Miami. But we are in Miami. Not a
19:07
great hitters park here. Joe Ross cheapest sp on the slate that I think
19:11
you can play here talk to me in this one. Yeah, I think
19:17
there's fireworks in this game, and I think it's I think you got five
19:19
lefties to choose from for the Marlins. Uh, And I don't mind any
19:22
of these lefties. Like I said, I mean, Joe Ross really struggles
19:25
to get left handed left handers out. In my opinion, this is a
19:27
ton of bats on the right handed side. But I'll take any of these
19:30
lefties. Give me, give me Jazz at one, Josh Bell at three.
19:34
I'm okay with a mini on DK or even a three on on Fandel
19:38
as well. Really like them. And then I mean, I hear I
19:41
see a lot of Weather slander in the chat, and rightfully so. The
19:45
guy just hasn't been very good this year or in his career for that matter,
19:48
been traded at numerous times. The Brewers team was was has been hot,
19:53
and you scored a bunch of runs every day. But I think he
19:56
scored four yesterday. But you know, put up a bunch of runs in
19:57
Houston over the weekend, So certainly don't mind them. They are very popular
20:03
tonight. Joey Ortiz one of the best third basements in the game. Really
20:07
like, uh, really like Joey Ortiz. I haven't seen their lineup,
20:10
it's probably out, but sure, you know, if he's in the lineup,
20:11
don't mind him. I think you're gonna have to get creative if when
20:15
you're playing the Brewers they will be popular. But yeah, I like these
20:18
Marlins tonight especially you always talk about it. Learned this from you, the
20:22
double average spot. If Joe Ross is going to be, you know,
20:25
twenty to thirty percent owned, I don't mind. I don't mind the marlinstack
20:27
at all. Yeah, I mean I don't think we see I think we
20:30
see some fifteen percent ownership on Joe Ross just because I mean you got TODJ.
20:34
Bradley at eight k and then you got fran Bervalde as an eighty eight
20:38
hundred, who's affordable. Some people are going to play Stroman and some people
20:41
are gonna play Lopez. Right at ninety five hundred, there's cheap enough bats
20:45
to make it work that anytime you have a super punch pitcher down here,
20:49
unless it's like a highly talented prospect, right that's at like stone minimum four
20:53
k. Realistically, ownership just doesn't get crazy. So I think, I
20:57
mean fifteen the maximum twenty percent I think here, so it's not a crazy
21:02
spot. I'm a little bit different than you. I do like some of
21:04
the Marlins bats, mainly the lefties. Josh Chisholm, Josh Bell, and
21:10
Haycus Sanchez would be my preferred hitting one, three and four. Outside of
21:15
that, really don't have any interest in these other lefties. I mean,
21:18
if you want to sign up and play Nick Gordon, go ahead. You
21:19
can play Nick Gordon Bruhan as a punt second base shortstop if you need a
21:25
salary switch here there. He'll steal some bases too, and then Otto Lopez
21:29
ranks out pretty good, but not stacking these Marlins up. I actually like
21:32
Joe Ross more than I like the Marlins, but it is a situation where,
21:36
hey, Joe Ross isn't bulletproof, is he is cheap. It's just
21:40
for the nature of the slate and what it does for your roster construction.
21:42
So I don't mind playing some of the Marlins in non Joe Ross teams,
21:47
but I do have more interest in Joe Ross than I do in the Marlins
21:49
overall. And then on the brewers, you didn't talk about the best brewers
21:53
bet here. Gary Sanchez man Derry Sanchez thirty seven hundred. If he's in
21:59
that lineup, I mean, he's gonna absolutely smash. Ryan Weather's a lefty
22:02
masher here. I think he's hitting a bomb here. Jake Bowers has got
22:06
good left numbers. Even though he's left, he left, He's not really
22:07
worried about that. William Contreras, I mean, you want to talk about
22:11
MVP candidate, right you're talking Sonny Gray and the cy young candidate. William
22:15
Contreras is hitting beach balls at the plate right now. This dude is absolutely
22:18
electric on fire. He's fifty eight hundred. You have to pay out for
22:22
him. I have a decent amount of interest in these brewers. I think
22:25
I'm mini stack only on the brewers here tonight. It's just not a great
22:27
hitters park, And I do see the Brewers coming in right now as it
22:32
stands as the highest offense overall. Like I said, I think they would
22:36
be the chalk of all chalk if this game was in Milwaukee. But they
22:38
are still quote unquote the chalk offense here tonight, so I don't love it.
22:44
I just like some mini stacks here. Gary Sanchez is my favorite bat,
22:47
followed by Willia Domis and then William Contreras is kind of where I would
22:49
start and then stack around that if you're looking to stack so overall, in
22:55
long way of saying, mini stacks only pretty much in that game for me,
22:57
no, really, five mans. I would have more interest in the
23:00
Brewers if they weren't so popular here tonight. I do have some interest Gary
23:06
Sanchez, Please don't play Gary Sanchez. That guy's so bad, so bad.
23:11
When he hits a home run at thirty seven hundred catcher position, I'll
23:17
I'll make sure to take you in the chat. So he won me a
23:19
lot of money already this season. He won hoop a lot of money already
23:22
this season. So right back to the well. But go ahead, go
23:26
ahead and keep slandering, cause your your track record against me, slander and
23:30
me on the show usually works well in my favor, So go ahead and
23:33
now keep it up, chat, keep it up in the in the comments,
23:37
get that much robbed up. Make sure he keeps slander rocking over here.
23:41
This next game is interesting one. I do have a lot of interest
23:45
in one of these sides here. Definitely not going to play any of these
23:48
Nationals against Pablo Lopez. You could play CJ. Abrams any slates right back
23:52
on the CJA Abrams bandwagon. I mean, the guy's just a cheat code.
23:55
But fifty seven hundred, man, I'd rather just pay out for Mookie
23:57
Betts or or my guy Bobby Witt at that position. So really no Nationals
24:03
interest for me. But I do like these Twins quite a get quite a
24:06
bit against this rookie and Mitchell Parker here, who's looked horrendous. It is
24:11
the Twins offense at the end of the day, very scary offense to be
24:14
pushing your chips and pushing your money in on. But Ryan Jeffers, want
24:17
to talk about another catcher that's absolutely smashing the baseball, Ryan Jeffers, my
24:21
boy Jose Miranda in the cleanup spot, four hole, thirty one hundred,
24:26
probably one of my favorite value bats on the entire slave but hamwhich I'll throw
24:29
it over to you, taking away Nationals and the Twins. Oh man,
24:34
I was so ready Friday night. I was. I knew I was gonna
24:37
win every tournament. I had, the twins my favorite stack. I was
24:41
gonna win all the cheese and the Tristan Mackenzie. Man, I got some
24:45
I got some bad memories on those twins. But they're in a great spot
24:48
tonight against Mitchell Parker. Like you said, Ryan Jeffers leading off against against
24:52
in the night, great spot any of these rities really your boy Miranda bat
24:56
and forth, clean up whatever you want to call it. Yeah, he's
24:57
They're all in a great spot. I think they'll be popular as well.
25:00
You can tell me more about ownership, but I think they're gonna be just
25:03
up there with the Brewers. So I don't mind, you know, some
25:07
of the rioty's down there in the uh, in the bottom half of the
25:11
order against this against this rookie from Washington, UH, Kyle Farmer, you
25:15
know, Santana Vasquez. Don't mind those guys. Then on the other side,
25:19
I mean, fifty seven hundred for C. J. Abrams, and
25:22
that's impossible to pay that for him, But man, his numbers look really
25:26
good to me against Pablo Lopez. Uh, he's gonna be unowned. Like
25:30
you said, people are gonna want to get to Mookie. They're gonna want
25:33
to get to uh, you know Bobby Witt, you know Gunnar Henderson.
25:37
I mean, that's just insane that he's that same price. He'll be unowned
25:40
on Draft Kings. I like him. Eddie Rosario, the resurgence of Eddie
25:42
Rosario thirty one hundred, that's more palatable, and he's got good numbers against
25:48
Lopez as well. Those guys would be you know, one off, maybe
25:52
a two man stack on on on DK if you wanted to go five to
25:56
one, and then I think one through nine with these twins are in play,
26:03
my biggest concern would be Margo and Cayl Farmer. You know, at
26:07
some point they're gonna be subbed out of the lineup, so they're gonna have
26:10
to get theirs early. I would try to focus on the guys that we
26:12
know we're gonna play the full nine innings that won't get platooned out. But
26:15
yeah, I really like the twins and it's a one off. CJ Abrams
26:19
and or Rosario for me. Yeah, for the Twins, give me Jeffers,
26:26
give me Correa, give me Miranda Buston, Willie Castro, the switch
26:29
hitter, Carlos Santana switch hitter. I want to switch hitters before the lefties
26:33
and the righties. Obviously my favorite bat in the lineup, Miranda hitting fourth
26:37
at thirty one hundred, historically smashes lefties. Ryan Jeffers has been locked in
26:41
all season long. Carlos Caruerer Buxton at forty four hundred. If that guy
26:45
could stay healthy, he'd be up in the sixty five hundred range. I
26:48
think every single time he's on the slate, just because he's got elite talent,
26:52
incredible power, just an absolute specimen. He's just been an injury injury
26:56
injury plagued. I mean, this guy just goes out there and he gets
27:00
a hangoult run a second base and gets pulled out of the game. It
27:03
feels like so he is the Anthony Davis of the baseball world. Hopefully he
27:07
stays healthy. Hopefully he can rake here tonight at forty four hundred hitting fifth.
27:12
So I like these Twins quite a bit. But yeah, to your
27:15
point, the Twins and the Brewers are the two clear cut chalk offenses of
27:18
the slate. So hey, those are the first two games as well,
27:22
and we got some high powered offenses that are later, and you're you'll be
27:26
able to kind of understand where you're sitting based on the first couple innings of
27:30
those games. I mean that game should be probably in the fifth sixth ish
27:33
inning before that the Houston game kicks off, and then definitely before the Dodgers.
27:38
Dodgers first pitch, so be uh there. There could be a little
27:42
late swap eligibility there, but overall, good offenses. There no Nationals for
27:48
me. Let's jump to the next game here. This is a game that
27:52
I don't have a lot of interest in at all from a bat's perspective.
27:56
I like both these pitchers a decent amount. But you did have, that's
28:00
the interest in Tanner Hawk than I did, So talk to me. Any
28:03
raised interest for you since you were a little bit lower on Tanner here from
28:07
the pitching breakdown, But for me, I don't think I'm getting here for
28:10
any bats outside of maybe a ralph Al Devers. Yeah, let's started on
28:15
the Boston side first, and uh yeah, no Boston for me. I
28:19
mean, like, you know, you got Todds. I think great number
28:22
one and number two, and I'm with you. I mean I was looking
28:23
at Tyler O'Neill, but he just doesn't do it against his pitches. And
28:26
then yet you can you can diet Tyler or yeah, Tyler and Raphael who's
28:32
hit a bomb and what five straight games? I believe. I mean,
28:34
the bottom half of that lineup is just absolutely atrocious. I do like a
28:41
one off. I really like a one off tonight for the Rays. Looking
28:45
in the confirmed lineup, he's batting third, which is awesome. Isaac Paritas
28:49
really like Paritas tonight as a one off, and that's really the only one.
28:55
Just looking at this confirmed lineup that they have out, it would be
28:57
Paritas and then Brandon Lub, Brandon Low whatever you want to call him that
29:00
and clean up. But yeah, really like Paratus tonight. I think he
29:03
goes yard against Tanner Hout. Yeah. No, excellent breakdown for me or
29:08
for you there in terms of that game. Nothing really more to add for
29:12
me. Obviously. You can always play a Ropel Devers if you need a
29:15
cheap value guy. David Hamilton, who I think hit a bomb yesterday,
29:19
second base shortstop. Pretty weak positions overall. If you need a punt and
29:22
you're not playing Todge Bradley, I don't mind that. But I just love
29:26
Todge Bradley. He's my favorite sp on the slate all things considered, So
29:30
no bats for me in that one. This next game is kind of similar
29:34
here. It's the Mariners and the Yankees. Marcus Stroman, who I think
29:38
is a solid pitcher option on the slate if you needed to get to him
29:41
against these Mariners in their high strikeout rate, I mean they strike out at
29:45
twenty eight percent rate against right hand and pitching on the road this season.
29:48
It is in Yankee Stadium here. And then Logan Gilbert, a pretty solid
29:52
real life pitcher, has about a twenty five percent k rate on the season
29:56
limits hard contact. But man Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Stanton Rizzo,
30:02
I mean, looking at the numbers for this Yankees lineup against right hand and
30:03
pitching at home in Yankee Stadium is kind of alarming. I mean a two
30:07
point fifty expected I sew up as a team in a sub twenty five percent
30:11
strikeout right, these Yankees are going to be virtually unknowned here tonight. I
30:15
think and it could be a spot when hey, nobody's on these Yankees like
30:18
they have been, and they could beat up Logan Gilbert a little bit here.
30:22
So if I were to pick a side in this one, it definitely
30:26
be the Yankees. I have a lot more interest in the Yankees than this
30:29
Mariners offense against Marcus Stroman. Talk to me, where you going here Seattle
30:33
and New York in the Yankee stadium? Yeah, Yankees. Yankees are up
30:37
there for me. Really like them tonight. Logan Gilbert's say, good real
30:42
life pitcher, you know, not great, but good and uh man,
30:45
he just he absolutely dominates left handed batters, but righty's man, I was
30:51
looking at this lineup. Gimme Volpe, gimme Judge, gimme Stanton, gimme
30:56
Trevino and then either get picked Torrez and Birdie at the think you got you
31:00
go in one, three, five, seven, eight. Man, give
31:03
me all these writings, especially Vulpei, Judge and Stanton, like you said,
31:07
gonna be unowned or you know, they'll be sub ten percent. I
31:11
wouldn't say I owned subten percent against Logan Gilbert that really liked them. Think
31:15
you can play the Yankees tonight at home. And then on the other side,
31:18
I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give a sneak peek. I sept
31:21
Paratus was going yard and I believe that. But I'm gonna give you my
31:22
home run call the day early. I'm gonna stay in the three holes.
31:26
Maybe a theme cal Raleigh against Marcus Stroman. Cal Raleigh is going yard tonight.
31:33
Write it down, take a picture. Cal Raleigh betting third for the
31:37
Mariner's night. Really like him. Well, you might be betting forth,
31:40
but we'll see. Hey, i'll cut you some slack there. If he's
31:42
not hitting third, I'm gonna call your bet obsolete because you said it wrong.
31:47
But hey, i'll give you the credit where credits due. Hey,
31:52
I just I don't know if the confirmed lineups out yet. Maybe maybe I
31:57
need a refresh here, But yeah, I projected lineup. I'm seeing fourth.
32:00
Nonetheless, it doesn't really matter, cal Raleigh. I don't mind that
32:04
call. And then I'm with you on these Yankees. Looking at the number,
32:06
especially over the last thirty days for Gilbert here twenty one percent strikeout rate
32:10
to Righty's a walk rate north of twelve and a half percent and a ton
32:15
of power. Well, if you look at this the Yankees lineup, but
32:17
what do they have? They have a ton of right handed power on the
32:20
back of obviously Aaron Judge right Stanton, two huge power bats there, Glaber
32:24
Torres, Trevino is a solid value catcher. Option Vope will get you some
32:30
solo bases as well. So it's the righties for me for the Yankees.
32:32
Then you can always include Verdugo or not Verdugo, but Juan Soto and Rizzo.
32:37
I think Verdugo would be my least favorite. I don't know, maybe
32:40
he listened to the Early Witching Hour shows all season long when Hamwich just said
32:45
he's the absolute worst baseball player in the world, and just comes out starts
32:49
raking at sub four k every single Slady's on hitting home run here, two
32:52
home runs there, stealing bases here, putting up runs here. He's won
32:57
me a lot of money. When I stacked the Yankees for about four straight
33:00
and they went off for fifteen runs at every game, it seems like against
33:04
Milwaukee he wouldn't be my least favorite here. Just could do the numbers and
33:07
how well Gilbert is against lefty. So give me some of these power rights
33:13
and I don't like. I mean, I'm seeing sub five percent ownership as
33:15
a stack on the Yankees in Yankee Stadium on a short slate here, so
33:21
I don't hate it. Definitely like other spots more. But if I were
33:23
to pick a side, it'd definitely be Yankees in that one. I got
33:27
my guy, my God's bomb rip season out in Colorado. He always says,
33:30
uh, Po d j in Stone or hey col Margo third, we
33:35
got Raleigh third and Parita's babe, we're doing I'm doing it. I'm doing
33:37
it just for you. Po Jen. I know you're the gambling guru,
33:40
but I'm doing it tonight. It's the you know, things come in threes,
33:44
they say nads, and that's the three at three, So let's rock
33:46
and roll, Hey, Judge and Soto or one in one for fifteen.
33:51
You know what that tells me, Nates, It means they're due right their
33:52
career three hundred hitters, So hey, they're due to hit a couple of
33:55
bombs. Thank you for dropping it. Yeah, that tells me. BVPS
33:59
the Bible and it's today is May twentieth, and it's impossible for two of
34:05
the best hitters in baseball to get a hit against Logan Gilbert. That's what
34:09
that tells me. But hey man, who knows Gator. We appreciate you
34:14
posting that in the chat, but not in all fun definitely like some other
34:19
spots more but I didn't want to break it down. Like I said,
34:22
if I were to pick a spot to be the Power Bats, the Power
34:24
readies for the Yankees for me, let's jump to this next game. I
34:30
do think this is a pretty interesting game. I have a lot of interest.
34:32
It seems like another day Ending and Why for our little hater out there
34:36
that's probably watching on a burner that got booted out of this chat long time
34:39
ago, a couple of weeks ago on the show, So bringing it back
34:43
another day ending, Why and aids is on some of these Royals here tonight.
34:46
I do think quite a bit of people are going to be on some
34:49
of these Royals. But when I'm looking at anticipated ownership, I'm seeing pretty
34:52
low ownership on this Royals team as a stack, which is kind of confusing
34:57
to me. Rees Alsen has been pretty good limited uh he has zero home
35:01
runs hit against him. But again, it's May twentieth. Every day,
35:06
every night is a new Knight in Major League Baseball here I have interest in
35:10
definitely the Royal side, and then I don't think some of these lefties,
35:15
the Riley Greens, the Perezes of the world are the craziest plays against waka.
35:20
But if I were to pick a cheap pitcher, I do definitely have
35:22
some interest in waka here at home. So talk to me, ham Mush,
35:25
do you have any interest in bats? I do think this is the
35:29
highest total on the slate as well, so definitely a game that people are
35:31
going to be going to for offenses. Yeah, it's surprising that it's it's
35:36
it's got such a high total because in looking at and looking at just the
35:40
teams, I mean, Ree Sulsen not a not great binding stretch. But
35:45
you know, it's been decent this year, I guess, And you know
35:46
we play DFS and need bombs and has it given any up? So uh,
35:52
I'm gonna be a little bit lower on this game needs. For me,
35:55
it would be the lefties. I would start with the lefties if I
35:58
was going on the Royal side, and then obviously you can always play Bobby
36:01
Wood or you know, South Perez, But for me, I'd start with
36:04
vindp assuming he's in the lineup. I haven't seen their a line of but
36:07
it would be the lefties for me. And then man, I can't play
36:10
this Tigers team. I just I just can't do it. They were hot
36:15
this weekend. You know, Waka is getting ownership maybe, but I'm out
36:19
on these on these Tigers, I think, yeah, no, I have
36:23
a little bit of interest in some of these Tigers. Just looking at my
36:28
notes here, Riley Green, I don't mind. Is is kind of a
36:31
one off, but I definitely it is a spot where I have a lot
36:35
more interest in Waka than I do is the Tigers. I'm not buying into
36:38
it, but man, Riley Green at five K, I'd just rather play
36:42
some of these other better outfielders and better hitters overall at a similar price point
36:47
at that range. But hey, Riley Green, should that lead off here.
36:50
He's got a four to seventeen. He's so on the season and gets
36:52
right down and pitching on the road, puts the ball in play. Kerry
36:55
Carpent and I don't mind him Perez. So mainly just the lefties for me
37:00
on the Tiger side and not going to stack these guys up. And then
37:04
on the Royal side, I mean looking at the numbers. The Royals at
37:07
home against right handed pitching on the season two seventeen io in a sub seventeen
37:12
percent strikeout rate. So they put the ball in the play. They hit
37:15
for power. Love me some, Bobby Wit, love me some Salvador Perez,
37:17
Velasquez, MJ. Melendez, Massy. I like the top seven a
37:23
lot. My least two favorite bats would be Renfro and Isbel so you know
37:28
they're hitting a home run a piece at twenty nine hundred and twenty seven hundred,
37:30
just because I likely won't play any of those guys, but one through
37:35
nine firmly play for me for the Royals. Definitely focusing on the top seven,
37:37
My favorite bat in the lineup would be Salvey, followed by Bobby Witt
37:42
and then MIKEL. Garcia at forty three hundred at a third base position.
37:45
Does fit Rosters pretty nice overall there. So I do like these Royals.
37:51
Reees Olsen. It is a little alarming he hasn't let up any home runs
37:54
there, but I do think that changes here tonight. I think these Royals
37:58
get to him a little bit here in Kaufman State. Let's jump of this
38:01
next game here Orioles and the Cardinals, Sonny grand A Mount, Dean Kramer
38:05
on the mound. You didn't have any interest in any of these oil Orioles,
38:09
which I think we're gonna differ a little bit because I do like some
38:13
of these Orioles, Gunner Henderson, Ryan O'Hearn, Colton Kowser, Uh,
38:17
Santander, I like these lefties a little bit against Sonny Gray. Again,
38:22
not a great spot that I like offenses from. But talk to me here,
38:24
Baltimore, Saint Louis, in Saint Louis, any interest in this game?
38:30
Yeah, I mean I do like Sonny Gray. Let me start there.
38:34
And then, but I mean Gunner Henderson would be the one that I'm
38:37
I'm the most concerned about. Uh certainly think that, uh he's a one
38:42
off only for me. Uh Santander. Yeah, great, great play as
38:45
well, But I'm just siding with Sonny today. I think he gets the
38:49
best of this Orioles team. But I wouldn't mind Gunner as a one off.
38:52
And then when I'm looking at this, uh, when I'm looking at
38:55
Dean Kramer and kind of you know, kind of his numbers, he gives
39:00
up a ton of barrels. Let me, just gives up a ton of
39:04
barrels to the right handed side, you know, does strike him out at
39:07
almost a twenty eight percent. But I think that these Cardinals could be in
39:10
play. And they kind of got you know, had a you know,
39:14
decent weekend hitting. They were on the winter on Friday night. So maybe
39:16
they're turning their season around. And I think Dan Kramer is somebody that we
39:21
can attack, especially with you know, the right handed power. Right we
39:24
have Goldchmith Aeronado from the right handed side, and then fifteen percent barrel right
39:32
from the left handed side, where we know we have Gorman, we know
39:35
we have new bar we know we have Donovan. I don't hate these Cardinals.
39:38
I think Kramer could get some ownership tonight. But to me, it's
39:42
a Cardinals type of night in terms of offense lefty and righting's I don't I
39:45
don't mind either one. Yeah, just looking at the numbers, I actually
39:50
have a little bit more interest now looking at it. I mean looking at
39:52
the weather. I see our guy in the chat talking about whether it's about
39:55
eighty degrees here, eighty three degrees slight win about five to six point hour
40:00
wins blowing kind of from right to left out to left field a little bit
40:05
down the line there. So I actually don't mind some of these lefties just
40:08
looking at the numbers for our guy Dean Kramer here. Overall, this Cardinals
40:13
offense just hasn't been good. They've won, uh, they were on the
40:16
winner recently, and he's allowing a ton of power to lefties between this year
40:22
and last year, a ton of fly balls and a ton of hard hits.
40:25
And Lars Newbar Donovan are in there, Berlsten's in there, Nolan Gorman's
40:30
in there, Sianni at a very very cheap price point baton ninth. You
40:35
can wrap do a little wrap around stack here. I don't hate a little
40:37
Sianni, Donovan Nubar kind of that's a that's a little nine to one to
40:42
two stack. They're all lefties to attack the splits of Dean Kramer. Then
40:45
you can always play Goschman and Arnato. I don't love them a ton It's
40:49
mainly the lefties for me. Here as a mini stack. If you want
40:52
to get a little bit crazy throwing a seven nine right a Gorman Aiani and
40:57
then wrap it around to the top, I think that's interesting here tonight and
41:00
then on the other end, I don't love these Baltimore Bats, but Baltimore
41:07
has fallen into a category for me of I don't care who they're really facing
41:12
anytime you're going to get Baltimore at low ownership in tournaments with third metrics and
41:16
the offense that they have. I mean, I think they lead the majors
41:20
in home runs still. Gunnar Henderson leads the majors for sure in home runs
41:24
himself. Love him, O'Hearn. I think a solid Kyleiser. It'd be
41:30
the lefties mainly for me, but not a spot that I think I'm going
41:32
to stack up the Orioles. It would just be kind of one off power
41:36
guys that are going to get suppresed ownership due to Sunny Gray being on the
41:39
hill for the Cardinals. My interest would be more in terms of stacking on
41:44
the Cardinals side, mainly the lefties first and then any of the righties to
41:47
follow there. So that is interesting that you brought that up. I did
41:51
want to pull that up, and I do have a little bit more interest
41:53
in some of these Cardinals bats because I'm not seeing really any ownership really go
41:58
to them at all here tonight against Dean Kramer as well. Two games left
42:05
to talk about here, This next one I want you to talk about for
42:08
sure on the Houston side here Red Detmers on the hill for the Angels,
42:15
Franberveldez seventy percent ground ball rate pitcher here against these Angels, and no Mike
42:21
Trout here. Talk to me any Angels bats and then mainly really talk to
42:24
me on the Astros implied to score over five runs here against Reed Detmers.
42:29
Who. Hey, We've played a fair share of Redetmers over the course of
42:32
this year and last year, but I don't think it's a spot that you
42:36
want to be playing some Redetmers here tonight. Houston's starting to get it going
42:39
from the offensive aspect. At home Bruce Napter six game win street, Houston
42:44
came back and beat him again to close out the series. There any Astros,
42:47
any Jordan, any, Kyle Tucker, Bregman talk to me in terms
42:51
of bats here? Yeah, no Angels for me. I mean, it's,
42:59
you know, sety percent ground ball rate if I'm looking at that right
43:01
against right handed batters, and I think they're rolling out eight. So no
43:05
Angels for me, just not gonna risk that. But for me it's obviously
43:08
Kyle Tucker. I think Kyle Talkers in a great spot. Jake Myers would
43:15
be one of my favorite writings. It looks like he's bat in seventh to
43:17
Night up from you know normally that in eighth or Night. So really like
43:21
Jake Myers, really like Kyle Tucker and just looking at anything else. Uh,
43:29
Jeremy Penia sticks out as well, like Jeremy Pania. So yeah,
43:32
so I could see me playing some some Tucker, some Tucker Pania Myers action,
43:39
right, you know, either a mini or you know, if you
43:42
wanted to sprinkle in you know, Bragman or Singleton or Alvarez. Don't mind
43:45
that the no Angels for me. But yeah, these uh, these astros,
43:50
where are they coming in? A sore? They the third most popular.
43:52
Hell, you got the Dodgers too, so they maybe maybe be fourth.
43:54
I don't know where they're coming in ownership wise, but I really like
43:58
the d Yeah, I've seen a top five. They're they're gonna be higher
44:02
oner than the Dodgers just because they're cheaper to stack up with no yard on
44:07
in there. Likely right, Jordon I think is out on the il right,
44:10
got hurt, So I think the astros are gonna be up there and
44:16
probably get a little bit more steam as well, because when you're building teams,
44:20
they are really more reasonable and more affordable to stack up. When you're
44:23
looking at the back half of that lineup, right, even paying your forty
44:27
five hundred, you got Bregman at just forty two hundred, still a Dias
44:30
at four k, and then the whole back half Singleton, Myers, Kartini,
44:34
Lopperfield are all thirty five hundred or cheaper, so it's very affordable to
44:37
stack up as a team, and they are they are implied to score over
44:40
five runs, so just naturally and being a minus two hundred favorite as well
44:45
at home, naturally, ownership is gonna flock there, and I do think
44:49
it kind of condenses a little bit more as well as we get to lock.
44:52
But hey, it's still baseball. There's tons of ways to get different,
44:55
and ownership is kind of just a guiding point. I don't use it
45:00
as an end all be all. Do want to mention it just a lot
45:02
because it it is interesting and is important definitely in tournaments, especially obviously the
45:08
smaller the field tournaments you are, it makes more sense than the large field
45:13
stuff. But at the end of the day, it's really not an end
45:15
all be all. So if you have a lot of conviction on the astros,
45:19
hey go in. They're not going to be some clear cut, massive
45:22
chalk Like I said, the definitely the highest oone offenses are going to be
45:25
the Twins and the Brewers from everything that I'm seeing, so good breakdown there.
45:30
In terms of me, Kyle Tucker is pretty much my only interest in
45:32
this game. It's a spot where I'm gonna be a little bit under underweight
45:37
on these astros overall. Definitely have some interest in Kyle Tucker, Jeremy Paana,
45:42
Jake Myers, like you said, as a value guy. But outside
45:45
of that, don't really want to stack this team up, especially with your
45:49
no Jordan in there. It just makes the overall lineup more affordable. Is
45:53
he Is he in there? Yeah? To ask you about that, Yeah,
46:00
I just don't see him in the projected lineup. I don't know if
46:04
the lineup came out yet while we were on the show. Yeah, I
46:07
just I just I've just looked at that. Yeah, he's Bett in third.
46:09
Uh. And then Eddie put in the chat as well, he's third,
46:12
and I didn't know he got heard or what. But yeah, he's
46:14
in there. Yeah, so he's back in there, and looks like Dubond's
46:17
in there as well, hitting ninth. Jake Myers is hitting seventh. So
46:22
yeah, overall, I mean, I still still doesn't increase my interest too
46:25
much. I would have interest in Tucker and and Yourn, but outside of
46:30
that, I like the Dodgers a lot more at a similar price point.
46:31
So that's where I'm going. No Angels bats for me against Framber. I'm
46:36
just never gonna stack against the ground ball pitcher, especially one of the best
46:38
ground ball pitchers in Framburgh. Let's jump to the last game of the slate
46:44
here in LA. It's the d Backs. Slade Coconi or Sosoni is going
46:50
to be the long reliever after the opener. The d Backs are bringing out
46:54
a lefty to open the game, so the first at bats for Otani and
46:59
Form are definitely gonna be against the lefty opener, probably only going to throw
47:04
the first inning, and then Sisoni's gonna come in after that for long relief.
47:08
At least that's what I'm seeing for the d Backs. On the other
47:12
end, Yamamoto on the mound for the Dodgers. Dodgers implied to score over
47:16
five runs as well, decently low ownership for the overall roster. Dude to
47:22
their salaries, they're very expensive, right, fifty two and fifty one,
47:25
fifty five, sixty five and six k up at the top. But it's
47:30
a spot where I'm spending up for these Dodgers. They're my favorite offense of
47:32
the night here. Talk to me any interest in this game from a bats
47:38
Yeah, I mean we always talk about it, and I just hate picking
47:42
on on relief games, right where you just got a reliever. Then then
47:45
I don't know, man, these Dodgers are obviously incredible. I'll have to
47:50
take a deeper look at it. I was focusing more my attention on the
47:53
other team just because I knew I was going to get to those guys.
47:57
And then as it relates to the UH, as it relates to the Diamondbacks,
48:02
my favorite of the bunch, I wouldn't I wouldn't full stack them.
48:05
Definitely wouldn't full stack them. Mike Mini stack them. But my favorite of
48:08
the bunch would be my boy Jai Jams going back home taking on the Dodgers
48:14
really like Jack Peter Peterson Peterson against Yamamoto tonight would be my favorite of the
48:21
bunch, and then you and you also said it arguing with those Dodgers.
48:24
It's their prices. It's just so tough to you know, to get to
48:28
them. But it's a Petterson one off for me, Peterson one off for
48:31
me, and then you know, those Dodgers, I'd have to take a
48:35
deeper look at them, but they're certainly going to be employed at some point.
48:38
Yeah, Dodgers. My favorite offense love Mookie Love Otani. Otani actually
48:43
hits lefties very well and then his numbers against righties are off. The chart
48:46
has been getting sold in bases as well. Just a cheat code, so
48:50
you got cheat code one Cheak Coot two Betton one two likely here tonight in
48:53
Mookie bats Otani like me some Freddy Freeman will Smith against a lefty to to
48:59
start as well is always good and then he hits righties as well. To
49:02
TiO Hernandez, I mean I like the lineup one through nine. I would
49:07
be a little bit lower on the back half, the Jason Haywards and the
49:08
Keiki Hernandez, even Gavin Lux just due to the pinch hit concerns. If
49:14
this game for whatever reason, stays close. Likely you're not gonna win money
49:16
anyways, right stacking up these these Dodgers when these guys get pinch hit,
49:21
because if the game's close, doesn't mean there's they're scoring a ton of runs
49:24
likely, So a little bit concern on Hayward and in Keky Hernandez on the
49:30
back half. But love the Dodgers, love the rest of that lineup,
49:34
and then the d Backs don't have a ton of interest in picking on Yamamota.
49:37
It was just I think Yamamoto is overpriced for the slate and his talent
49:42
against a very talented d Backs lineup overall. So that's kind of the reason
49:45
I'm a little bit underweight on Yamamoto, just due to the due to the
49:52
price. I see some people talking about d Backs are their favorite stack in
49:57
the offense or on on the offensive, Debacs are gonna be on against you.
50:00
I'm modo guaranteed and nothing at bats. Definitely have some power and speed
50:02
throw at the lineup, just not a spot that I'm interested in. Do
50:06
you have any takes on more of the dbacs outside your guy right jock jams
50:09
there? Yeah, I'm not I'm not gonna do it. I was just
50:15
looking at it while you were talking. I mean, it's Jock. It's
50:16
Jock for me, and and that's that's really it. I mean, he
50:21
looks actually looks very nice. Not to get confused with Jace Peterson. It's
50:25
Jock Peterson that I have interest in. Uh but yeah, I mean,
50:31
hey, if you play the Diamondbacks and they and they go off for twelve,
50:36
you're you're gonna be the winner. But I just don't see how it
50:38
happens tonight. Dodgers got a good bullpen, got a really good starter.
50:43
Hey, sixteen teams to choose from. I'm gonna be going to other places,
50:45
but it'd be Jock only for me. Yeah, no, kind of
50:49
I kind of agree there. That's all eight games. You talk pitching,
50:52
talk to our favorite offenses. You want to go ahead and rank your favorite
50:55
your top three stacks, and then we'll get home run calls and get on
51:00
out here. Yeah, let's looking at looking at the stacks. I'm gonna
51:05
go Houston one. I'm gonna go Yankees two, and I'm gonna go I'm
51:13
gonna go Cardinals three. Okay, okay, yeah, interesting, So I'm
51:17
going Dodgers number one. For me, I'm going to Kansas City, the
51:22
Royals number two, and then I'm going to Cardinals Lefties as kind of my
51:25
contrarian unknown stack. I could have put the Twins in there. I could
51:29
have put the Brewers, but those are the two highest priced offer the high
51:32
stone offenses. So I wanted to go a little bit of contrarian there.
51:36
Give me the Dodgers, give me the Royals, and then give me the
51:38
Cardinals Lefties. For me, is the top three? Throw it over to
51:43
you. You already gave a home run call. Do you want to reiterate
51:45
that to the people or pick another one before we get on out of here.
51:49
Yeah. Hey, it's the power of three today. Right where it's
51:52
the power of three. I was looking through this. It's it's it's gonna
51:54
be interesting. I'm gonna say, cal Raleigh, he's beat in third,
52:00
Isaac Partis, he's batting third. Then I'm gonna go with my boy Vinnie
52:06
Pascatino. Where's he batonates he's batting third as well. Those three right there,
52:12
we're going to power of three today. Power of three today. Well,
52:15
I'm not going with the power of three. I'm going to pretty chalky
52:22
offense overall, but probably all things consider, my favorite value play on the
52:27
entire slate hosing Miranda hitting foth, hitting clean up here, hopefully he's got
52:32
the power of three in first, second, and third, three guys on
52:37
base when he gets up to the plate, hits it over for a nice
52:38
salami there. He's taking the rookie deep once in Washington. There, Jose
52:44
Miranda thirty one hundred hitting fourth tonight, third base. Absolutely love him.
52:47
