- 0:17Speaker 1: You gotta slip in your palm.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Man, a hole in your chase, black coffee on the
- 0:22Speaker 2: felt Man, you look like a mist three teen Parlette
- 0:27Speaker 2: turned the dust in your head. Now you stare at
- 0:31Speaker 2: the chips like they made you this man. But don't
- 0:34Speaker 2: you go quiet? Don't you fade from the floor. Your
- 0:38Speaker 2: name steal mean something in somebody for show?
- 0:42Speaker 3: Put the glass.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Down, baby, look at me? No hold on, hold on
- 0:54Speaker 1: nothing night, No.
- 0:58Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on me, but it don't get the crown.
- 1:15Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on, stay with me.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Now, what's up? Birdboddy?
- 1:29Speaker 5: It's towed back with you with toadstil Sports Saturday, June
- 1:34Speaker 5: twenty seventh. Do not listen to anything that I have
- 1:36Speaker 5: to say on the show or ever whatever. Yesterday was
- 1:41Speaker 5: one of the worst days we've had on the show
- 1:43Speaker 5: in a long time.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Zero to three.
- 1:45Speaker 5: I mean, it happens, but I what do you want
- 1:49Speaker 5: me to say? Detroit had eight runs themselves in the
- 1:52Speaker 5: first four innings, and then that game couldn't go over
- 1:54Speaker 5: eight and a half.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Really, you have five innings.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Left or I guess four and a half because Detroit
- 1:59Speaker 5: was winning. For either team to score one run two
- 2:03Speaker 5: pretty questionable bullpends and you're not gonna get one more run, okay, great?
- 2:08Speaker 5: And then we had the under in the first five
- 2:11Speaker 5: in the A's Angels game. That was a one nothing
- 2:14Speaker 5: game into the fifth inning, and then Walbert Urania Uranus
- 2:19Speaker 5: completely implodes seven runs from the A's in that top
- 2:25Speaker 5: half of the inning. They probably should have just left
- 2:27Speaker 5: Urania in because they probably would have allowed fewer runs
- 2:30Speaker 5: if they did that. Like again, what do you want
- 2:33Speaker 5: me to say? And then Atlanta was the better team.
- 2:37Speaker 5: They won the first three quarters of that game. Last
- 2:40Speaker 5: night at Golden State. What they're known for is being
- 2:43Speaker 5: really good in the first half at home. They were
- 2:45Speaker 5: ten to one at home in the first half, like
- 2:48Speaker 5: against the first half line, and Atlanta won the first
- 2:52Speaker 5: half year. That was literally only the second time the
- 2:54Speaker 5: Golden State at home lost on the first half number.
- 2:59Speaker 5: And Atlanta I couldn't finish the game and they only
- 3:02Speaker 5: score in the seventies and they lose the game by
- 3:04Speaker 5: three points.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Fuck you.
- 3:06Speaker 5: I'm not responding to comments here. I'll talk about these games.
- 3:10Speaker 5: Don't listen to anything I have to say. I have
- 3:12Speaker 5: two plays. They're both in baseball. Whatever, Yankees Red Sox.
- 3:17Speaker 5: The only good thing that happened yesterday the Red Sox won.
- 3:21Speaker 5: I mean, I'm a fan of Payton Dolly, I'm liking
- 3:24Speaker 5: Wilson Contrerez. Is that his name, because he is definitely
- 3:28Speaker 5: a He's getting really into this rivalry here and pissing
- 3:32Speaker 5: the Yankees off. I don't know if the Red Sox
- 3:35Speaker 5: are gonna win this game. Bullpen usage was pretty similar yesterday.
- 3:41Speaker 5: Both teams use two relief pitchers. The Red Sox bullpen
- 3:44Speaker 5: is slightly better at number four, Yankees number seven. Both
- 3:48Speaker 5: have a really similar ERA here. Yankees way better offense
- 3:52Speaker 5: number two, Red Sox number twenty four. Garrett Cole is
- 3:56Speaker 5: pitching for the Yankees. This game is on ABC, by
- 3:59Speaker 5: the way, so it's got a TV billing because it
- 4:02Speaker 5: is the big, the big rivalry. Yankees might be a
- 4:05Speaker 5: little bit more motivated here because they've lost the first
- 4:08Speaker 5: two games of this year as well. The Red Sox
- 4:10Speaker 5: in recent years have played pretty well against the Yankees,
- 4:13Speaker 5: even when they're the lesser team. Cole is pretty good
- 4:17Speaker 5: three point six to two ERA one point one to
- 4:20Speaker 5: eight Whip, not as good on the road four point
- 4:23Speaker 5: two Roady Ray and he wasn't good in his last
- 4:26Speaker 5: start and two of his last three starts, he's failed
- 4:29Speaker 5: to make it past four and a third innings, so
- 4:31Speaker 5: maybe that's not a great sign. Those are against Cleveland
- 4:34Speaker 5: and Detroit, who are not exactly elite offenses. So there's
- 4:39Speaker 5: something maybe a little bit off about Cole. I mean,
- 4:41Speaker 5: I know he's coming back from injury, he's getting up
- 4:44Speaker 5: there in age, so he's not really exactly what he
- 4:47Speaker 5: was when he was totally elite, although he's still not bad.
- 4:50Speaker 5: He's got a low hit rate, low walk rate, strike
- 4:53Speaker 5: out rate is decent against the Red Sox, has good
- 4:57Speaker 5: numbers and forty five at bats to twenty two average
- 4:59Speaker 5: five nine ohps eighteen to two strike out walk ratio.
- 5:04Speaker 5: I think that he is probably going to pitch well here.
- 5:07Speaker 5: Red Sox going with Jake Bennett, who has pitched pretty
- 5:10Speaker 5: well so far in his rookie season three point seven
- 5:13Speaker 5: one ERA, one point one to three whip. Not as
- 5:16Speaker 5: good at home though, four point h two homey RA.
- 5:20Speaker 5: He was really good last time out with a six inning,
- 5:23Speaker 5: nine strikeout, four hit and no walk performance shutout performance
- 5:28Speaker 5: in Colorado, so he was able to handle course field
- 5:32Speaker 5: really well and he hasn't walked to anybody over his
- 5:34Speaker 5: last two starts and has an eighteen to one strike
- 5:37Speaker 5: out walk ratio this month. Yeah, he's pitching well, his
- 5:40Speaker 5: command has gotten better. The Red Sox haven't been able
- 5:43Speaker 5: to win any of those games. But really, yeah, I
- 5:46Speaker 5: mean he looks alright here. He's got an okay strikeout
- 5:50Speaker 5: rad his hit rate is fine and his walk rate
- 5:52Speaker 5: is very low.
- 5:53Speaker 3: So his command has been solid.
- 5:56Speaker 5: And the Yankees have not seen him before, so he
- 5:58Speaker 5: does have that unfamiliarity advantage where the hitters are gonna
- 6:02Speaker 5: have to figure him out.
- 6:02Speaker 3: On the fly.
- 6:04Speaker 5: I think this game probably looks like an under. That's
- 6:07Speaker 5: probably what I would do here, uh, rather than try
- 6:10Speaker 5: to figure.
- 6:10Speaker 3: Out the side. The money is backing the Red Sox.
- 6:15Speaker 5: Seventy one percent of the tickets are on the Yankees.
- 6:17Speaker 5: I mean, it makes sense the Yankees. They're not heavily
- 6:20Speaker 5: priced here. They're at minus one twenty five. It looks
- 6:23Speaker 5: probably too easy to take the Yankees at that price
- 6:26Speaker 5: with Coal on the mound because he's the name that
- 6:29Speaker 5: everybody knows.
- 6:30Speaker 3: There.
- 6:31Speaker 5: Red Sox fifty three percent of the money, though money
- 6:34Speaker 5: is also hitting the over.
- 6:35Speaker 3: I don't really agree with that.
- 6:37Speaker 5: Fifty six percent of tickets on the under fifty four
- 6:40Speaker 5: percent of the cash on the over total eight and
- 6:42Speaker 5: a half. I think you have two starters who look
- 6:45Speaker 5: like they could pitch well here. Red Sox offense also
- 6:48Speaker 5: is still not good at home, even though they've been
- 6:50Speaker 5: a little bit better. I think they've scored six runs
- 6:52Speaker 5: in each game in this series, so they have gotten
- 6:54Speaker 5: a little bit better. Probably not gonna I don't think
- 6:57Speaker 5: they're gonna do that again here though. Yeah, I think
- 6:59Speaker 5: the under makes the most sense in that game. Bullpens
- 7:02Speaker 5: are also solid. Houston at Detroit. Don't even want to
- 7:06Speaker 5: talk about what happened in that game yesterday. Houston couldn't
- 7:09Speaker 5: even put up one run against Detroit's pitching.
- 7:12Speaker 3: Thank you, Houston, thanks for that. Detroit only is.
- 7:16Speaker 5: One relief pitcher, Houston used two. These bullpens have gotten
- 7:20Speaker 5: better recently, though. Houston is actually up to nineteenth, so
- 7:24Speaker 5: they are definitely not an atrocious bullpen at this point.
- 7:27Speaker 5: Detroit sixteenth of their eras below four.
- 7:30Speaker 3: That's not bad. Still don't trust these bullpens, but they're.
- 7:35Speaker 5: Not totally avoidable here or bullpens that you have to avoid,
- 7:39Speaker 5: I should say, And in fact, the bullpens were excellent
- 7:42Speaker 5: in the game yesterday, which pisses me off. Houston fourteenth
- 7:48Speaker 5: in offense here and Detroit twenty first. Detroit still not
- 7:53Speaker 5: hitting well. Kaiwai Tang pitching this game for Houston. He's
- 7:58Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I mean, he's really hard to predict.
- 8:00Speaker 5: Four point zero three ERA, one point twenty nine whip
- 8:03Speaker 5: that's not that great. Three point nine to six road ERA,
- 8:06Speaker 5: so he's a little bit better on the road. He
- 8:08Speaker 5: was good in his last start, but it was against Cleveland,
- 8:11Speaker 5: who we know is not a good offense, and they're
- 8:13Speaker 5: injured right now. His previous three starts were all pretty bad.
- 8:17Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't know, man. I wouldn't say he's
- 8:20Speaker 5: exactly in good form because he made one good start
- 8:22Speaker 5: against a weak offense.
- 8:24Speaker 3: He was coming out of the bullpen earlier in the year.
- 8:26Speaker 5: He's got a low hit rate, though walk rate is
- 8:29Speaker 5: definitely too high. Strike gout rate is fairly high, so
- 8:32Speaker 5: the wildness is his main concern here. Detroit has fifteen
- 8:36Speaker 5: at bats, not a huge sample, but most of their
- 8:38Speaker 5: hitters have faced him and they've done well. Four hundred average,
- 8:42Speaker 5: fourteen seventy one ops, eight to two strike out walk
- 8:45Speaker 5: race year. The only good numbers for him there. Detroit
- 8:48Speaker 5: also has three home runs against him in that small
- 8:51Speaker 5: sample size from Bervaldez is pitching for Detroit three point
- 8:55Speaker 5: nine to one ERA one point three to three whip.
- 8:58Speaker 5: That whip is clearly too high, Valdez. I mean, he's okay,
- 9:03Speaker 5: but he just walks too many guys. He's not that
- 9:05Speaker 5: good at home though, four point three to eight home
- 9:07Speaker 5: the IRA. But he's been better recently. This month, he's
- 9:10Speaker 5: been pretty pretty solid. Of those walk numbers still been
- 9:13Speaker 5: too high, but he's allowed one or zero earned run
- 9:17Speaker 5: in three of the four starts, including a good start
- 9:21Speaker 5: last time out against the Yankees. Or he had eight
- 9:23Speaker 5: strikeouts and allowed one run and got to win against them.
- 9:26Speaker 5: So that's a decent sign that he is pitching better again.
- 9:29Speaker 5: Right now, his hit rate is fairly low, his walk
- 9:32Speaker 5: rate is too high. Like I said, strikeout rate is
- 9:36Speaker 5: not as high as you would really want to see.
- 9:38Speaker 5: But he does also induce a lot of ground balls,
- 9:41Speaker 5: which are less lethal than fly balls.
- 9:43Speaker 3: As long as you.
- 9:44Speaker 5: Got good infield, infield or fielding, his numbers it gets
- 9:48Speaker 5: Houston are good. And remember he used to be on Houston.
- 9:51Speaker 5: I talked about that the last night. He just faced
- 9:54Speaker 5: Houston two starts ago. I gave out a first five
- 9:57Speaker 5: under in that game, and that was a winner. He
- 10:00Speaker 5: we give up nowhere and runs and six innings in
- 10:01Speaker 5: that one. I told you that I thought Valdez was
- 10:03Speaker 5: gonna pitch well against his former team the first time facing.
- 10:07Speaker 3: Them, because he was gonna get up for that.
- 10:10Speaker 5: Usually pitchers they're gonna get a little bit more excited
- 10:12Speaker 5: and get up for it against the team that just
- 10:14Speaker 5: got rid of them because they want to pitch well.
- 10:17Speaker 5: Will that carry over to this game, I'm not so sure.
- 10:20Speaker 5: Maybe he'll still do it, but Houston might have made
- 10:23Speaker 5: some adjustments to him, so I don't really trust him
- 10:25Speaker 5: as much in this game.
- 10:26Speaker 3: Although he does have good numbers against Houston.
- 10:29Speaker 5: Forty one at bats too, twenty average, allowed six to
- 10:31Speaker 5: twenty six ops, nine to seven strike out walk ratio.
- 10:36Speaker 5: I'm still gonna lean Detroit here. I still think Valdez
- 10:39Speaker 5: is the more stable pitcher. Well, he's not mentally stable,
- 10:43Speaker 5: so that is a question. But I think he's the
- 10:45Speaker 5: more predictable pitcher here. In a way, both are kind
- 10:49Speaker 5: of unpredictable, though. Sixty five percent of tickets on Detroit,
- 10:52Speaker 5: though fifty nine percent of the cash on Houston. Money
- 10:55Speaker 5: is back in Houston. I think I would lean Detroit here.
- 10:59Speaker 5: They're around minus one thirty something. You can make it
- 11:01Speaker 5: a first five if you worry about the bullpens, although
- 11:04Speaker 5: Detroit may have a slight bullpen edge there, so full
- 11:07Speaker 5: games still kind of makes sense there. Detroit over their
- 11:11Speaker 5: team total makes some sense too, if you kind of
- 11:13Speaker 5: lean Detroit here.
- 11:14Speaker 3: And want to avoid Valdez.
- 11:17Speaker 5: The money is back in the over In the game,
- 11:19Speaker 5: the totals at eight and a half, so Detroit over
- 11:21Speaker 5: team total does make some sense in that game as well.
- 11:24Speaker 5: You might need him to get like I don't know,
- 11:27Speaker 5: you might need him to only score. You probably need
- 11:30Speaker 5: him to get five runs though, in that game if
- 11:31Speaker 5: you want to do it that way.
- 11:33Speaker 3: Texas at Toronto.
- 11:36Speaker 5: Texas has won both games in the series so far
- 11:39Speaker 5: by one run, so Toronto not doing well here at
- 11:42Speaker 5: home Toronto is I don't think they're really as good
- 11:45Speaker 5: as Texas really, Texas just has very good pitching. Toronto
- 11:50Speaker 5: used three relief pitchers yesterday. Texas also did. Texas has
- 11:53Speaker 5: used their best relievers in both games in the series, though,
- 11:56Speaker 5: to save both games, so their better relievers are probably
- 12:00Speaker 5: unavailable in this game, so that's not great for them.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Texas number nine in bullpen.
- 12:05Speaker 5: Their eray is a little bit higher than I would
- 12:07Speaker 5: think that it would be, but I think they're the
- 12:09Speaker 5: better bullpen.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Toronto thirteenth.
- 12:12Speaker 5: They have the same era, but Toronto has the worst
- 12:14Speaker 5: whip and I think Texas is definitely the better bullpen.
- 12:17Speaker 5: Texas has ranked nineteenth than offense, tied with Kansas City.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Olano think Kansas City is that good. Blue Jay's twenty third.
- 12:28Speaker 5: So Texas has somehow been slightly better on offense. I'm
- 12:32Speaker 5: not so sure I really buy that, but they are
- 12:33Speaker 5: a little bit better on the road. This pitching matchup
- 12:36Speaker 5: really does not favor Texas at all.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Though Texas is going.
- 12:40Speaker 5: With a bullpen game here, they got cal Kwantra listed
- 12:43Speaker 5: as a starter. I don't think this is gonna be good.
- 12:45Speaker 5: I don't think we really need to dig into his
- 12:47Speaker 5: numbers too much. He's probably only only gonna go like
- 12:50Speaker 5: one or two winnings here, and he's allowed runs in
- 12:53Speaker 5: four straight appearances. This isn't really good. Texas has lost
- 12:57Speaker 5: his last six appearances. Sign His numbers against Traad are
- 13:02Speaker 5: also bad, but he's only going to be in the
- 13:04Speaker 5: game for a little while.
- 13:06Speaker 3: But it does not look good.
- 13:07Speaker 5: He will be opposed by Dan Cease, who is obviously
- 13:11Speaker 5: the way better of the two starters here. He's the
- 13:14Speaker 5: only starter that's making him that's a pitching in this game.
- 13:17Speaker 3: Here.
- 13:18Speaker 5: Cease is having a good season two point seven five ERA,
- 13:21Speaker 5: one point one to nine whip, really good at home
- 13:24Speaker 5: two point three to three homey RA. He's continuing to
- 13:28Speaker 5: pitch well, although his walk numbers are getting pretty bad again.
- 13:32Speaker 5: He's he's walked eight guys over his last ten and
- 13:34Speaker 5: two thirds innings. You can't do that and keep getting
- 13:37Speaker 5: away with it, man. I know he Cease, I know
- 13:39Speaker 5: he strikes out everybody and doesn't allow that many hits,
- 13:42Speaker 5: but his wildness seems to be coming back, and that
- 13:44Speaker 5: is one concern with him. That's his main problem throughout
- 13:49Speaker 5: his career. His walk number is way too high, but
- 13:51Speaker 5: his hit rate is pretty low, at really low.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Really.
- 13:53Speaker 5: His strikeout rate is also really high, so that's kind
- 13:57Speaker 5: of how he gets away with it.
- 13:58Speaker 3: But the walks really kind of did him in last year.
- 14:02Speaker 5: And I don't know, man, I mean, his control looks
- 14:04Speaker 5: like it's off right now, even though his strikeout rate
- 14:09Speaker 5: has been high this entire time.
- 14:11Speaker 3: I don't like the walks here, and I do not like.
- 14:14Speaker 5: His numbers against Texas, particularly in seventy seven at bats.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Texas the offense isn't that good, but they do have
- 14:19Speaker 3: a two.
- 14:20Speaker 5: To seventy three average, seven to eighty ops off him,
- 14:23Speaker 5: twenty five to six strikeout walk ratio, So Texas has
- 14:26Speaker 5: had a little bit of an advantage against Cease. You know,
- 14:30Speaker 5: I mean, I think maybe you could go over in
- 14:32Speaker 5: this game. I mean I think both games have gone
- 14:34Speaker 5: over in the series so far. Money is back in
- 14:37Speaker 5: the the under seventy eight percent of tickets on the
- 14:40Speaker 5: over fifty six percent of the cash on the under.
- 14:43Speaker 5: I would not do that. I mean, I think we
- 14:45Speaker 5: might get an over here. The pitching scenario doesn't really
- 14:48Speaker 5: look that great for either side. You're also paying a
- 14:52Speaker 5: lot of money if you want ce so you have
- 14:54Speaker 5: to lay minus one ninety something here eighty one percent
- 14:57Speaker 5: of tickets seventy six percent of the cash on Toronto.
- 15:00Speaker 5: Money is fading Toronto here. I would not back a
- 15:03Speaker 5: Texas bullpen game though, even though their bullpen is good.
- 15:06Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do that.
- 15:09Speaker 5: Yeah, Uh, Toronto probably I would say gets this win,
- 15:13Speaker 5: but I don't think I would want to bank on
- 15:15Speaker 5: it really either, even though Texas they're gonna be out
- 15:18Speaker 5: of their best relievers here in this game too. I
- 15:20Speaker 5: guess you could look to lay a run line with Toronto,
- 15:23Speaker 5: but the money is fading it basically saying the price
- 15:26Speaker 5: is not good on Toronto. So yeah, I think the
- 15:30Speaker 5: money is basically just saying you're paying too much for
- 15:32Speaker 5: Dylan Cees here, I'm skipping the game.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Next game is gonna be a play.
- 15:37Speaker 5: We get a more reasonable price on this, and this
- 15:42Speaker 5: game is like I have to decide which one of
- 15:44Speaker 5: these guys is my favorite child. But we're gonna back
- 15:48Speaker 5: Cincinnati in the first five minus one twenty five on
- 15:52Speaker 5: the money line here, you can find a decent money
- 15:56Speaker 5: line on this. Obviously, I'm gonna exclude Cincinnati's bullpen because
- 16:00Speaker 5: they suck, so I don't want any part of that.
- 16:03Speaker 5: Cincinnati used four elite pitchers yesterday. This is at Pittsburgh.
- 16:07Speaker 5: Pittsburgh used four as well. I believe Pittsburgh finally got
- 16:10Speaker 5: a win yesterday. I'm pretty sure didn't they did they Wait,
- 16:13Speaker 5: maybe they didn't, No, they didn't. Only shit Pittsburgh. They've
- 16:17Speaker 5: lost eight games in a row with Paul Skien starting.
- 16:20Speaker 5: I don't know what is going on with that man.
- 16:22Speaker 5: I mean, it is just getting ridiculous that they can't
- 16:24Speaker 5: win a game with skiings, even if he pitches well.
- 16:27Speaker 5: It looks like he was a little bit off yesterday.
- 16:30Speaker 5: But or maybe it was Cincinnati's bullpen.
- 16:32Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 16:32Speaker 5: I haven't looked at any of the box score stats there.
- 16:35Speaker 5: I don't care because I'm gonna go with Chase Burns
- 16:38Speaker 5: in this game here.
- 16:39Speaker 3: I'm gonna avoid the bullpens. Both bullpens are bad.
- 16:42Speaker 5: Cincinnati's is worst, Cincinnati twenty eighth.
- 16:45Speaker 3: They're not good.
- 16:46Speaker 5: Pittsburgh is twentieth, but they are better than Cincinnati. So
- 16:50Speaker 5: we're gonna throw Cincinnati's bullpen in the trash, not deal
- 16:54Speaker 5: with them. I don't like Cincinnati's offense recently at all.
- 16:58Speaker 5: They're twenty fifth right now. I know that's not good.
- 17:01Speaker 5: But I think they're gonna be able to get some
- 17:02Speaker 5: runs here, at least enough to get us this win
- 17:06Speaker 5: on this play here, because they should be able to.
- 17:09Speaker 5: They're probably not gonna have to put up too much offense.
- 17:11Speaker 5: But with Chase Burns on the other side here. Although
- 17:13Speaker 5: I know Pittsburgh is really good at home. They're number
- 17:16Speaker 5: three in offense, they're really good at home. Burns should
- 17:19Speaker 5: be able to counter that. Burns has been awesome too,
- 17:22Speaker 5: ERA one point zero five whip. He's been basically the
- 17:26Speaker 5: same home and away. It doesn't matter.
- 17:28Speaker 3: He did pitch against Pittsburgh and.
- 17:29Speaker 5: Shut them out for seven innings in this stadium in
- 17:33Speaker 5: early May, so he obviously has the ability to completely
- 17:36Speaker 5: shut them down in this stadium. And I don't think
- 17:39Speaker 5: we need him to be quite that good here to
- 17:40Speaker 5: get this to be a win. But he was excellent
- 17:43Speaker 5: in that start, seven shutout innings, three hits, one walk,
- 17:46Speaker 5: seven strikeouts. He also shut out phil Pittsburgh at home
- 17:52Speaker 5: for five innings, one hit aloud in that one, seven strikeouts,
- 17:56Speaker 5: three walks. So he has gone twelve scoreless innings against
- 18:00Speaker 5: Pittsburgh this year, allowing only four hits, fourteen strikeouts and
- 18:04Speaker 5: four walks. So he has dominated them this year, and
- 18:07Speaker 5: his numbers reflect that. He's got thirty seven at bats
- 18:10Speaker 5: against Pittsburgh, seventeen strikeouts, four walks, two hits allowed. Two
- 18:16Speaker 5: one is an extra base hit a double from Reynolds.
- 18:18Speaker 5: But oh fifty four average two to twenty seven oh ps.
- 18:21Speaker 5: He has dominant stats against Pittsburgh, so I'm gonna back
- 18:25Speaker 5: that and I'm gonna fade Jared Jones, even though I
- 18:28Speaker 5: do like Jones. Jones has not been able to come
- 18:31Speaker 5: back from injury very well so far. He's young, he
- 18:35Speaker 5: was pretty good two years ago, so I think at
- 18:36Speaker 5: some point he will be back in some sort of form,
- 18:40Speaker 5: but he is not right now. A five point seven
- 18:43Speaker 5: to five VRA, one point five to two whip, really ugly,
- 18:46Speaker 5: really bad at home seven point five to six HOMEYRA,
- 18:49Speaker 5: So we're gonna fade his home.
- 18:51Speaker 3: Road splits here.
- 18:53Speaker 5: He hasn't even gone five innings in his last three starts.
- 18:57Speaker 5: In fact, he's made four starts this year and he's
- 18:59Speaker 5: only gone five once in those five, so that's not
- 19:04Speaker 5: a good sign either. He's gotten a lot of run
- 19:06Speaker 5: support behind him, but I don't think that's gonna be
- 19:09Speaker 5: the case against Chase Burns. Jones has had to pitch
- 19:12Speaker 5: at the A's stadium though, against the Dodgers at Colorado,
- 19:15Speaker 5: so you do have to give him a little bit
- 19:17Speaker 5: of a break for that because those are not easy tasks.
- 19:20Speaker 5: So I do think he is a little bit better
- 19:22Speaker 5: than what these numbers would suggest. But he's got a
- 19:24Speaker 5: high hit rate. His walk rate is not great, strikeout
- 19:27Speaker 5: rate is fairly good, but still, I mean, he's just
- 19:31Speaker 5: not It looks like they have him on a pitch
- 19:33Speaker 5: count right now, so he might not even go the
- 19:36Speaker 5: full first five here, So I think Burns should outlast
- 19:39Speaker 5: him here and his numbers against the Reds, although it's
- 19:41Speaker 5: only four hitters who have faced him. Elie de la
- 19:44Speaker 5: Cruz is back for the Reds, which should help their
- 19:46Speaker 5: offense here because he's done some damage against Jones two
- 19:50Speaker 5: for three with a double on.
- 19:51Speaker 3: A home run. The team has ten at bats against him.
- 19:54Speaker 5: They do have a four hundred average and twelve hundred
- 19:56Speaker 5: oh ps against him, three strikeouts, no walks, but I
- 19:59Speaker 5: think they should be able to score some against Jones
- 20:03Speaker 5: here while he's out there.
- 20:04Speaker 3: We get a decent price on this. Well, back Burns here.
- 20:07Speaker 5: The money seems to agree with this, sixty six percent
- 20:09Speaker 5: of tickets, ninety percent of the cash on Cincinnati.
- 20:12Speaker 3: They're a cheaper price on the full.
- 20:14Speaker 5: Game because that would include Cincinnati's bullpen, and I do
- 20:17Speaker 5: not want to do that. At about minus one eighteen
- 20:19Speaker 5: I'll up pay the extra juice to just focus on
- 20:23Speaker 5: where we have the edge, burns being on the mound
- 20:25Speaker 5: first five Cincinnati money line.
- 20:28Speaker 3: I have no voice. I apologize, ugh Man.
- 20:32Speaker 5: I don't know why, dude, I was able to do
- 20:34Speaker 5: a ukulele cover last night, but I'm not gonna be
- 20:36Speaker 5: able to do anything. I don't even know if I'm
- 20:37Speaker 5: gonna get through the show. Philadelphia at the Mets. This
- 20:40Speaker 5: is a very very weird starting pitching matchup in this one.
- 20:44Speaker 5: The Mets lost again yesterday, even though I thought they'd
- 20:46Speaker 5: have a spark after they fired their manager. They almost won.
- 20:50Speaker 5: It was a two to one loss, so they were
- 20:52Speaker 5: able to get some good pitching yesterday. But Zach Wheeler,
- 20:56Speaker 5: I think, pitched for Philadelphia, and he's not a guy
- 20:59Speaker 5: you want to mess with. Man Wheeler can pretty much
- 21:01Speaker 5: shut down anybody on any given day. Philadelphia only these
- 21:04Speaker 5: two relief pitchers yesterday. The Mets used two as well.
- 21:09Speaker 5: Mets have a pretty good bullpen. They're number three. They
- 21:12Speaker 5: have a really good bullpen. Actually Philadelphia is number ten,
- 21:15Speaker 5: not too bad, but the Mets are the better bullpen here.
- 21:18Speaker 5: Philly is the better offense, although neither offense has been good.
- 21:21Speaker 5: Philly twenty second Mets twenty ninth, Philly is going with
- 21:26Speaker 5: Alan ron Hell. Is that how you pronounced this guy's name, Rangel?
- 21:31Speaker 3: I think it's Ron Hell.
- 21:32Speaker 5: He's from Mexico, so yeah, Alan run Hell, that's what
- 21:36Speaker 5: I'm gonna call this guy.
- 21:38Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 21:38Speaker 5: I have no idea what you're gonna get out of
- 21:40Speaker 5: this guy. He's twenty eight, so it's not like he's
- 21:43Speaker 5: a really young guy. He's only made one start so far.
- 21:46Speaker 5: I think he made one relief appearance in one start.
- 21:49Speaker 5: I believe no, he's made no starts. Actually my mistake.
- 21:51Speaker 5: He's made seven relief appearances with Philly since last year.
- 21:56Speaker 5: His whip is a little bit high here over that
- 21:59Speaker 5: entire span of those has been pretty good so far.
- 22:02Speaker 5: A two point twenty five this year. One whip, that's good.
- 22:05Speaker 5: He did make two road starts that we're not that easy.
- 22:08Speaker 5: Against the Cubs in Washington. He's got eight innings so far,
- 22:12Speaker 5: eight hits, allowed, nine k's, and no walks, so that
- 22:15Speaker 5: is pretty good. His command's been good. He did that
- 22:17Speaker 5: against two offenses that could definitely do damage. So Ron
- 22:22Speaker 5: Hell actually looks like he's not that bad. I have
- 22:25Speaker 5: no idea you're gonna get out of him here against
- 22:27Speaker 5: the Mets. But the Mets are gonna be easily the
- 22:29Speaker 5: weakest offense that he's faced so far, so he might
- 22:32Speaker 5: actually pitch well here. The Mets, on the other side,
- 22:35Speaker 5: will have Christian Scott coming back from the injured list.
- 22:39Speaker 5: Scott is a pretty decent young pitcher. He's got a
- 22:41Speaker 5: three point one erail those whip is too high one
- 22:44Speaker 5: point three five. He's not been good at home four
- 22:47Speaker 5: point six homey ra, so there are some issues with
- 22:50Speaker 5: him here. He didn't do well last time out against
- 22:52Speaker 5: Saint Louis, which is maybe a little bit of a
- 22:55Speaker 5: red flag. That was a home start for him. Saint
- 22:57Speaker 5: Louis was able to hit him around. Maybe he got
- 23:00Speaker 5: a little bit unlucky with the home runs there. If
- 23:02Speaker 5: you look at his overall numbers, he does have a
- 23:04Speaker 5: really high strikeout rate and a low hit rate, but
- 23:06Speaker 5: his walk rate is too high. So his problem is
- 23:09Speaker 5: the walks. He's walking like one guy every two winnings.
- 23:12Speaker 5: You can't do that, man. But other than that, his
- 23:15Speaker 5: numbers do look good and he's got the ability to
- 23:17Speaker 5: fool major league hitters with that strikeout rate. So there
- 23:20Speaker 5: are some things to like about Scott here, and his
- 23:23Speaker 5: walk rate has actually gotten better recently, so that's at
- 23:26Speaker 5: least a good thing.
- 23:27Speaker 3: I did back him in that start against.
- 23:29Speaker 5: San Diego, I'm pretty sure, but that was a bad
- 23:31Speaker 5: spot for San Diego, and you know, it was San Diego,
- 23:35Speaker 5: so it was one of the best pitching matchup Scott
- 23:37Speaker 5: was gonna get. This one might not be as good.
- 23:39Speaker 5: Although Philadelphia they've had their offensive issues and they're not
- 23:43Speaker 5: very good on the road. Scott has never seen them before,
- 23:46Speaker 5: they've never seen him before, so Scott has the unfamiliarity
- 23:50Speaker 5: edge here against them, so that should help him a
- 23:51Speaker 5: little bit here. You know, it sounds a little insane,
- 23:55Speaker 5: but this game kind of looks like an under to me.
- 23:59Speaker 5: I think that might be the way to look at this.
- 24:00Speaker 5: I think both pitchers might actually do our right. Although
- 24:03Speaker 5: we have seventy four percent of tickets ninety one percent
- 24:05Speaker 5: of the cash on the over total is high at nine,
- 24:08Speaker 5: and you're not gonna see it's older in very many
- 24:10Speaker 5: Mets games being at nine. So the odds makers are
- 24:13Speaker 5: kind of telling you that they think this is gonna
- 24:15Speaker 5: be higher scoring. But I kind of don't think so like,
- 24:18Speaker 5: I think both starters might do our right here. I
- 24:21Speaker 5: do tend to like pitchers coming back from the injured
- 24:23Speaker 5: list too, because I think they usually get undervalued but
- 24:26Speaker 5: they're actually like ready to go and whatever. Maybe not
- 24:30Speaker 5: with Scott because he's young, Like I like it more
- 24:32Speaker 5: with like veteran pitchers, but I don't know. I mean,
- 24:35Speaker 5: I think the pitching could be alright all around in
- 24:38Speaker 5: this game. Money is also backing Philly, which kind of
- 24:41Speaker 5: tells you that the lesser known pitcher here and Ron
- 24:44Speaker 5: Hell is actually getting the money here. Uh so the
- 24:47Speaker 5: professional money seems to think he will pitch well en
- 24:50Speaker 5: Off here, which kind of is more of an to me,
- 24:52Speaker 5: that's like an indicator towards the under as I talk
- 24:55Speaker 5: about minus one thirty or so is the price on
- 24:58Speaker 5: the Mets. It is crazy that the Mets are favored here.
- 25:02Speaker 5: The public is going to be fading the Mets here,
- 25:04Speaker 5: but the money does look like it's also fading the
- 25:06Speaker 5: Mets here, So you know, it looks way too easy
- 25:10Speaker 5: to play Philadelphia though as an underdog here, being the
- 25:13Speaker 5: team with the way better record, though the Odsbeger's kind
- 25:16Speaker 5: of had to do this because Scott is just the
- 25:18Speaker 5: more proven picture at this point. But yeah, I don't know, man,
- 25:23Speaker 5: the price does kind of still seem a little bit
- 25:25Speaker 5: too high on the Mets here, though, I don't I
- 25:27Speaker 5: don't have a good read on the side.
- 25:29Speaker 3: Though. My first instinct on this.
- 25:31Speaker 5: Was to lean Mets, but then when I dug into
- 25:32Speaker 5: the numbers, I don't know, it seems more under ish
- 25:37Speaker 5: to me. Kansas City and Chicago the White Sox. The
- 25:41Speaker 5: White Sox won the game yesterday twenty two to one
- 25:44Speaker 5: against what I think it was a bullpen game for
- 25:46Speaker 5: Kansas City yesterday. This was unbelievable, but it's misleading. The
- 25:51Speaker 5: White Sox put up twenty three hits and scored twenty
- 25:53Speaker 5: two runs. Usually, you know, I mean, twenty three hits is.
- 25:57Speaker 3: Still a ton. I'm not gonna lie.
- 25:58Speaker 5: Oh, obviously that's true, but probably they should have probably
- 26:02Speaker 5: put up about thirteen or fourteen runs here. Twenty two
- 26:06Speaker 5: is ridiculous. Obviously a tied their franchise history record. That's
- 26:11Speaker 5: tied for the most runs the White Sox have ever
- 26:13Speaker 5: scored in a game.
- 26:14Speaker 3: I believe Kansas City.
- 26:16Speaker 5: Went with a bullpen game and they just got absolutely
- 26:19Speaker 5: destroyed in this game. And Sandlin actually put up a
- 26:22Speaker 5: really good performance there. But remember, Kansas City is a
- 26:25Speaker 5: really weak road offense. They're not good on the road.
- 26:29Speaker 5: But that was an embarrassing result. Man, the White Sox
- 26:32Speaker 5: might take Kansas City totally unseriously after beating them twenty
- 26:36Speaker 5: two to one. When you see an outlier like that,
- 26:38Speaker 5: I think you do want to kind of look to
- 26:40Speaker 5: fade that in the next game, you know what I mean.
- 26:43Speaker 5: So I was looking like, is there a way to
- 26:44Speaker 5: play Kansas City here after that? But again, you know,
- 26:49Speaker 5: do you really want to back Kansas City's offense on
- 26:51Speaker 5: the road. I mean, there are some spots where maybe
- 26:54Speaker 5: you have to. This one, I'm not gonna lie. This
- 26:58Speaker 5: one almost made my card, but you know I couldn't
- 27:00Speaker 5: do it. But the White Sox only used three relief
- 27:03Speaker 5: pitchers yesterday. Kansas City used literally everybody or not quite
- 27:08Speaker 5: but almost They use whatever this is seven relief pitchers.
- 27:11Speaker 5: I think they actually use more than that. They might
- 27:13Speaker 5: have used like position players at that point. Obviously, whatever
- 27:18Speaker 5: you do in this game, you should not back Kansas
- 27:20Speaker 5: City's bullpen.
- 27:22Speaker 3: I think that goes without saying.
- 27:24Speaker 5: Either fade Kansas City's bullpen or avoid them in this game.
- 27:28Speaker 5: Their bullpen was so bad yesterday. The congratulations to the
- 27:31Speaker 5: Minnesota Twins. You are not the worst bullpen anymore. Kansas
- 27:35Speaker 5: City is worst in Era and Whip again now horrible.
- 27:40Speaker 5: White Sox are kind of a mediocre bullpen at twenty first,
- 27:43Speaker 5: so their bullpening Ray isn't really that bad.
- 27:45Speaker 3: Though White Sox offense.
- 27:47Speaker 5: Moved all the way back up to fifth with that
- 27:49Speaker 5: explosion yesterday. The Royals are nineteenth, but I don't really
- 27:53Speaker 5: think they're that good, and they're not good on the road. However,
- 27:56Speaker 5: they're not gonna give up twenty two runs again because
- 27:59Speaker 5: Michael Waka is pitching, so there's no way the Royals
- 28:01Speaker 5: are gonna put up that type of offense again. Walka
- 28:04Speaker 5: is pretty good three point four to eighty Array, one
- 28:06Speaker 5: point one to six WHIP. He's not as good on
- 28:09Speaker 5: the road though, four point oh two Roadie I Ray
- 28:12Speaker 5: still not bad, uh Walka. I mean he's been pretty consistent.
- 28:15Speaker 5: He's allowed more than four and runs only twice this season.
- 28:19Speaker 5: Low strikeout rate, he doesn't strike guys out, but he's
- 28:21Speaker 5: got a low hit rate, low walk rate.
- 28:23Speaker 3: He's thrown a lot of innings.
- 28:25Speaker 5: Like I mean, he's a steady pitcher, he doesn't put
- 28:27Speaker 5: a lot of guys on base. He's got good numbers
- 28:29Speaker 5: against the White Sox and forty eight at bats, eleven strikeouts,
- 28:33Speaker 5: one walk, so his strikeout rate is actually high against them.
- 28:36Speaker 5: One forty six average, four point thirty four oh ps.
- 28:39Speaker 5: Those are really good numbers, so walka definitely, he has
- 28:42Speaker 5: the capability of pitching well here, Like he could definitely
- 28:45Speaker 5: come in and silence the White Sox a bit here,
- 28:48Speaker 5: and he actually did do that at home earlier this
- 28:51Speaker 5: year in April. He hadn't eight in and shut out
- 28:53Speaker 5: against the White Sox, so he does have the ability
- 28:56Speaker 5: to shut these hitters down. Davis Martin, though, is pitching
- 28:59Speaker 5: for the White Socks. Martin has been pretty good, although
- 29:03Speaker 5: he's gotten a little bit worse recently, but he's got
- 29:06Speaker 5: a three point one to eighty RA one point two whip.
- 29:09Speaker 5: He's been awesome at home one point oh one homey RA,
- 29:13Speaker 5: so that's not exactly something I really want to fade here.
- 29:16Speaker 3: His walk rate has gone up though.
- 29:18Speaker 5: He's walked three guys apiece in three of his last
- 29:21Speaker 5: four starts all this month, and he's failed to go
- 29:24Speaker 5: five innings and two of his starts this month, both
- 29:27Speaker 5: of them on the road though.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Against Minnesota and then against the Yankees.
- 29:30Speaker 5: I mean, you probably give him a pass for that
- 29:32Speaker 5: Yankees start the Minnesota one. Maybe you have to too,
- 29:35Speaker 5: because Minnesota, believe it or not, they actually score a
- 29:37Speaker 5: lot of runs, I'm pretty sure, especially I think in
- 29:41Speaker 5: their home games. I think Minnesota has the highest scoring
- 29:44Speaker 5: home games in Major League Baseball. But that's also because
- 29:47Speaker 5: their bullpen is got awful and gives up a ton
- 29:50Speaker 5: of runs. But Minnesota does their offensive part at home.
- 29:55Speaker 5: The good sign is that Martin did bounce back, allowing
- 29:57Speaker 5: only one run last time out against Detroit, and he
- 30:00Speaker 5: does draw out Kansas City here, and Kansas City doesn't
- 30:03Speaker 5: hit well on the road. Martin did pitch well at
- 30:05Speaker 5: Kansas City the one time he faced them this year.
- 30:08Speaker 5: Didn't have a lot of strikeouts there, but he went
- 30:10Speaker 5: seven innings and held him to tour and runs, and
- 30:12Speaker 5: he was very efficient with his pitches in that one. However,
- 30:16Speaker 5: Martin actually does not have good numbers against Kansas City
- 30:19Speaker 5: in fifty five at bats, so we have a good
- 30:21Speaker 5: sample size here three twenty seven average, eight forty two ops,
- 30:25Speaker 5: thirteen to two strike out, walk, ratio. But what I
- 30:28Speaker 5: will say is that most of those numbers were earlier
- 30:31Speaker 5: in Martin's career. Like this is this has been a
- 30:33Speaker 5: breakout season for him and Kansas City only faced him
- 30:37Speaker 5: once this season and he pretty much silenced them. So
- 30:40Speaker 5: that's the thing, Like how much weight do you want
- 30:42Speaker 5: to give these numbers here? Because these numbers were all
- 30:44Speaker 5: in the past. He wasn't good against them, and you.
- 30:49Speaker 3: Know this year he is better.
- 30:50Speaker 5: It does look like he is bouncing back, although his
- 30:52Speaker 5: walk rate is concerning this month. Over the course of
- 30:55Speaker 5: the season, though, he does have a low hit rate,
- 30:57Speaker 5: low walk rate, and a pretty high strikeout rate.
- 31:00Speaker 3: So what do we want to do with this?
- 31:01Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I'm not gonna put it on my card,
- 31:03Speaker 5: but I like Kansas City. I would go Kansas City
- 31:06Speaker 5: first five.
- 31:07Speaker 3: Here.
- 31:07Speaker 5: You're gonna get them as an underdog in the first five,
- 31:10Speaker 5: probably not as much as you would in the full game,
- 31:12Speaker 5: which is at minus one forty four, you're probably still
- 31:15Speaker 5: looking at a first five underdog price on Kansas City, though,
- 31:18Speaker 5: that's the way I would go. I'd go with Waka
- 31:22Speaker 5: to outpitch Martin in the first five here. Uh seventy
- 31:25Speaker 5: six percent of tickets on the White Sox eighty eight
- 31:28Speaker 5: percent of the cash on Kansas City. So the money
- 31:30Speaker 5: is backing the Royals there, So do with that what
- 31:35Speaker 5: you want. But the money seems like it does agree
- 31:37Speaker 5: with me there, I would lean that way. Like I said,
- 31:40Speaker 5: so next game up is going to be my only
- 31:42Speaker 5: other play of the day, So you guys can just
- 31:45Speaker 5: leave and not have to listen to my bullshit or
- 31:48Speaker 5: my voice. We're gonna go with Arizona. But I'm gonna
- 31:53Speaker 5: make this a split bet. I mean, if you want
- 31:55Speaker 5: to just take Arizona on the money line, I'm not
- 31:56Speaker 5: gonna disagree with that, but I'm making it a split
- 31:59Speaker 5: be here to get the price more close to the
- 32:02Speaker 5: minus one ten range. Here, this is about a minus
- 32:04Speaker 5: one seventeen combined price on this Arizona plus the one
- 32:09Speaker 5: and a half runs at minus one sixty on the
- 32:11Speaker 5: underdog run line and plus one thirty five. I found
- 32:15Speaker 5: that run line at the Roman Emperor book, and I
- 32:17Speaker 5: found the money line at a different book, which I
- 32:22Speaker 5: think was the book that used to be owned by ESPN,
- 32:24Speaker 5: but it's.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Now a Scoreboard book.
- 32:26Speaker 5: But still, I mean, I think if you go to
- 32:27Speaker 5: the Roman Emperor's book. You're gonna find similar numbers on
- 32:30Speaker 5: both lines there, so the price will be very similar
- 32:34Speaker 5: to this. Again, if you want to just go money
- 32:36Speaker 5: line with it, you could do that. I think Arizona
- 32:38Speaker 5: is going to win this game. This is against Tampa
- 32:41Speaker 5: Bay here. Obviously, I wouldn't play it if I didn't
- 32:43Speaker 5: think they were gonna win, or I have a good
- 32:46Speaker 5: chance to win, Like at least I'm saying, I think
- 32:48Speaker 5: Arizona has a better chance to win than what these
- 32:50Speaker 5: odds are here. Tampa Bay, they've looked good recently. They
- 32:54Speaker 5: won again yesterday. They've looked too good recently, to be honest,
- 32:57Speaker 5: beating the Royals thirteen to two at home. I mean,
- 33:00Speaker 5: I'm not sure I'm that impressed by that. And then
- 33:02Speaker 5: they won six to one in the first game of
- 33:04Speaker 5: this series. And I know Arizona hasn't been hitting. Arizona
- 33:09Speaker 5: is twenty sixth in offense, tied with the Mariners right now.
- 33:12Speaker 5: I know that's not good. And the Rays are thirteenth
- 33:15Speaker 5: right now. They haven't been hitting better recently. But I
- 33:18Speaker 5: like how this pitching matchup sets up for Arizona, man.
- 33:22Speaker 3: And I think we do have a little bit of a.
- 33:23Speaker 5: Bullpen as with Arizona here too, they only use one
- 33:26Speaker 5: relief pitcher in the last two days because they got
- 33:29Speaker 5: a day off because of a rainout, So this Arizona
- 33:32Speaker 5: team is rested here.
- 33:33Speaker 3: Man. They didn't play on Thursday and then Friday.
- 33:36Speaker 5: Yesterday they only use one relief pitcher, so I think
- 33:39Speaker 5: we do get a nice rest advantage here with Arizona.
- 33:42Speaker 3: Tampa Bay had to play both of those days. They
- 33:44Speaker 3: did use four relief pitchers.
- 33:46Speaker 5: Yesterday, and Tampa Bay's bullpen is not great. They're ranked fourteenth,
- 33:50Speaker 5: but their ERA is worse than all these teams around them,
- 33:53Speaker 5: so they're worse era wise than that actually tied with
- 33:57Speaker 5: Houston now in RA, although Houston's gotten.
- 34:00Speaker 3: Better, like I said, that's why that's the case.
- 34:03Speaker 5: Arizona's bullpen is at eighth, although again their ERA is
- 34:06Speaker 5: not great, so I don't love their bullpen, but they
- 34:09Speaker 5: do still have a better ray than Tampa and I
- 34:11Speaker 5: think their bullpen sets up better here, so I like it,
- 34:15Speaker 5: and I like the starting pitching. We're gonna back Jose Cabrera,
- 34:19Speaker 5: and I will say that when you play this, usually
- 34:21Speaker 5: specify Cabrera must start for Arizona, but don't specify a
- 34:25Speaker 5: starting pitcher for Tampa Bay.
- 34:28Speaker 3: Well, let me think about that.
- 34:30Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's what I would do, because my
- 34:32Speaker 5: only worry is that Tampa Bay is gonna switch to
- 34:34Speaker 5: Rasmusen here because this is an evening game, so you
- 34:37Speaker 5: don't really know exactly what they're gonna do yet, but
- 34:39Speaker 5: it looks like, as far as it is now, Tampa's
- 34:42Speaker 5: going with a bullpen game, and my worry is that
- 34:44Speaker 5: Tampa might go with a bullpen game but use a
- 34:46Speaker 5: different opener, you know what I mean. Cole Sulser is
- 34:50Speaker 5: listed as the opener here right now. He's definitely gonna
- 34:53Speaker 5: be an opener. He's a relief pitcher. He does not
- 34:55Speaker 5: go for deep appearances. He's also a thirty six year
- 34:59Speaker 5: old with terrible numbers, so although.
- 35:02Speaker 3: He hasn't allowed to run in his last.
- 35:04Speaker 5: Four appearances, but he's probably only gonna go about an
- 35:06Speaker 5: inning here. And Rasmussen is actually scheduled to pitch tomorrow,
- 35:10Speaker 5: so it does look like Tampa is sticking to the
- 35:12Speaker 5: schedule here and they will be going with a bullpen
- 35:15Speaker 5: game here, So I like that. I'm trying to think
- 35:19Speaker 5: of how you want to specify this though, because the
- 35:21Speaker 5: worry is are they gonna move Rasmussen up. That would
- 35:23Speaker 5: be my one worry, Like, the only way that I like,
- 35:26Speaker 5: that's the one thing that would keep me away from
- 35:29Speaker 5: Arizona here is if Tampa switches to Rasmussen here, that
- 35:32Speaker 5: would be my only concern. But I don't think they're
- 35:34Speaker 5: gonna do that, So I think you go Arizona Cabrera
- 35:38Speaker 5: must start, and don't specify starter for Tampa Bay or
- 35:42Speaker 5: you know, if if you want to avoid the risk,
- 35:44Speaker 5: you could specify Sulser must start. Or I think here's
- 35:49Speaker 5: what you do. Actually, here's the better way to do this. Wait,
- 35:52Speaker 5: wait until it gets closer to game time, and wait
- 35:56Speaker 5: until the starting pitcher is announced, and then make the
- 35:58Speaker 5: play and specify both starters must start. You know what
- 36:02Speaker 5: I mean, That's how I'm gonna tract this. Let's let's
- 36:05Speaker 5: do it that way. I don't know if you're gonna
- 36:07Speaker 5: get exactly the same number here, but I don't think
- 36:09Speaker 5: it's gonna be that far off from this, So yeah,
- 36:12Speaker 5: I would just wait until the evening, keep an eye
- 36:14Speaker 5: on it, and then once the pitchers are actually announced,
- 36:17Speaker 5: as long as it's not Rasmussen, make the play with
- 36:21Speaker 5: the starters.
- 36:21Speaker 3: Must start. But I want to back Cabrera here. Man.
- 36:24Speaker 5: He's a young pitcher. He's literally only made one start
- 36:27Speaker 5: so far in his major league career, and it was good.
- 36:30Speaker 5: He shut out in Minnesota for five innings only through
- 36:33Speaker 5: sixty two pitches, had three hits allowed, no walks, and
- 36:35Speaker 5: three strikeouts.
- 36:37Speaker 3: I like it, man.
- 36:38Speaker 5: It looks like he's off and running, like there was
- 36:40Speaker 5: no nervousness with him there.
- 36:43Speaker 3: That's good.
- 36:44Speaker 5: I know this is gonna be his first road start,
- 36:45Speaker 5: but sometimes the home start is actually worse for your
- 36:48Speaker 5: major league debut because there's like more pressure on you,
- 36:51Speaker 5: you know what I mean. You're in front of the
- 36:52Speaker 5: home crowd. A lot of times you can be looser
- 36:54Speaker 5: on the road because less is kind of expected of you,
- 36:57Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And Tampa, of course is
- 36:59Speaker 5: now faced him before, so I think that's an extra
- 37:03Speaker 5: advantage to him.
- 37:03Speaker 3: So I like the setup. I like Cabrera here.
- 37:06Speaker 5: I don't like the Tampa Bay setup if they're going
- 37:08Speaker 5: with a bullpen game obviously, so Arizona is the play there,
- 37:13Speaker 5: all right. Washington and Baltimore in the DC area rivalry.
- 37:19Speaker 5: Baltimore won yesterday three to one, a surprisingly low scoring game.
- 37:23Speaker 3: There. I don't know how that happened.
- 37:26Speaker 5: This game today looks like it should be lower scoring
- 37:28Speaker 5: than yesterday's game by far, but it's not going to be.
- 37:31Speaker 3: I mean, this is not gonna be a four run
- 37:33Speaker 3: game here.
- 37:33Speaker 5: Probably Washington used two relief pitchers yesterday, Baltimore used three.
- 37:39Speaker 5: I don't like either bullpen, as you know, Washington's is
- 37:42Speaker 5: worse though, Washington twenty six.
- 37:44Speaker 3: They're really bad. Their eras over five.
- 37:47Speaker 5: Baltimore mid range bullpen at seventeenth not great offense is
- 37:53Speaker 5: definitely gonna do damage.
- 37:54Speaker 3: Washington number six, Baltimore.
- 37:56Speaker 5: Fifteen, which is why I thought yesterday looked like an overgame,
- 38:00Speaker 5: especially with the starting pitching. This starting pitching matchup looks
- 38:02Speaker 5: way better than yesterday's, though. Washington's going with Foster Griffin.
- 38:07Speaker 5: Griffin is having a shockingly good season, man, and it
- 38:10Speaker 5: is continuing. He's got a three point one five RA
- 38:14Speaker 5: one point six whip. He's been basically the same home
- 38:17Speaker 5: and away, so he's been good either way. He's allowed
- 38:20Speaker 5: one run each in every outing this month. He's gone
- 38:23Speaker 5: at least five innings in every single one of them.
- 38:25Speaker 5: Twenty four to two strikeout walk ratio in twenty four
- 38:28Speaker 5: to thirty ings with eighteen hits allowed. He's been really
- 38:31Speaker 5: good this month, dude. He's obviously in good form right now.
- 38:34Speaker 5: Not a lot to dislike here about Griffin. He's got
- 38:37Speaker 5: a low hit rate, low walk rate as well. His
- 38:40Speaker 5: strikeout rate is pretty decent as well. Yeah, I mean,
- 38:43Speaker 5: he's been one of the biggest surprises of the season.
- 38:46Speaker 5: Baltimore also basically hasn't faced him. Only Taylor Ward has
- 38:50Speaker 5: faced him. He is won for two with a double
- 38:51Speaker 5: against him. No strikeouts, no walks, obviously no strikeouts. But Griffin,
- 38:56Speaker 5: he's basically unfamiliar to Baltimore. He's pitching really well, so
- 39:00Speaker 5: I think Griffin should continue to pitch pretty well here.
- 39:03Speaker 5: Brandon Young is pitching for Baltimore. This has been kind
- 39:07Speaker 5: of his breakout season so far. Man Young, I mean,
- 39:09Speaker 5: he's always a guy that I've thought had some talent
- 39:12Speaker 5: but it never really materialized. But this year he's been
- 39:15Speaker 5: pretty good. A three point h seven e RA, one
- 39:18Speaker 5: point two TOY six whip good at home, two point
- 39:21Speaker 5: eight home e RA.
- 39:22Speaker 3: He's been pitching better recently.
- 39:24Speaker 5: He's actually allowed three or fewer earned runs in every
- 39:26Speaker 5: start through the beginning of May and Baltimore's only lost
- 39:30Speaker 5: one start of his since then, so they're doing well
- 39:34Speaker 5: behind him, and he's pitching pretty well. Those walk numbers
- 39:36Speaker 5: gone up, or well, not really gone up, but his
- 39:38Speaker 5: walk numbers remained too high, I mean, I mean to say,
- 39:41Speaker 5: but he hasn't been very hittable either, so the walks
- 39:44Speaker 5: are still the concern with him. Also, his strikeout rate
- 39:48Speaker 5: is not that high. He's not a strikeout pitcher, but
- 39:49Speaker 5: his hit rate is low. His walk rate is too high.
- 39:53Speaker 5: You know, the advanced analytics guys are gonna say there
- 39:55Speaker 5: is some regression probably in store for him here. His
- 39:57Speaker 5: whip is not exactly excellent, but it's not terrible. I
- 40:02Speaker 5: think he's alright though, in the fact that he just
- 40:04Speaker 5: gave up one ear and run in five innings against
- 40:06Speaker 5: the Dodgers last time out.
- 40:08Speaker 3: That's a good sign, dude.
- 40:10Speaker 5: You know, he's not intimidated by these bigger offenses, these
- 40:13Speaker 5: elite offenses.
- 40:15Speaker 3: Against Washington.
- 40:16Speaker 5: He has not done well against Washington though, in small
- 40:19Speaker 5: sample size thirteen at bats three eighty five average allowed
- 40:22Speaker 5: the eleven ninety two ops two to three strike up
- 40:25Speaker 5: walk ratios, So that is a concern. He hasn't done
- 40:28Speaker 5: well against Washington. He did actually face them in the
- 40:31Speaker 5: middle of May. I'm yeah so, and he did only
- 40:35Speaker 5: allow two runs against them, But that was his one
- 40:38Speaker 5: really bad start in that entire span that I mentioned.
- 40:41Speaker 5: Baltimore actually excuse me, yeah, Baltimore actually still won that game,
- 40:45Speaker 5: but Young only went three and two thirds innings in
- 40:48Speaker 5: that when he threw too many pitches, only allowed two runs,
- 40:51Speaker 5: but he didn't make it deep into that game. So
- 40:53Speaker 5: that was his worst outing since the beginning of May.
- 40:57Speaker 5: It did happen to come against Washington. I still think
- 41:01Speaker 5: this game does kind of look like a first five under,
- 41:03Speaker 5: though I kind of like how both starting pitchers set up,
- 41:05Speaker 5: so I wouldn't disagree with the first five under. I
- 41:08Speaker 5: would not include the bullpens for obvious reasons. But we
- 41:11Speaker 5: have fifty eight percent of the tickets on the under
- 41:13Speaker 5: and ninety percent of the cash on the over, and
- 41:15Speaker 5: the total is high at nine. But it kind of
- 41:18Speaker 5: has to be for a Washington game, like you kind
- 41:21Speaker 5: of have to put its total high because Washington, like Minnesota,
- 41:25Speaker 5: Washington plays a ton of high scoring games.
- 41:27Speaker 3: Washington has a good offense and.
- 41:28Speaker 5: A terrible bullpen, and a lot of their starting pitchers
- 41:31Speaker 5: are bad too, but this is Griffin is probably their
- 41:34Speaker 5: best starting pitchers.
- 41:35Speaker 4: So.
- 41:37Speaker 5: And then you know, I wouldn't disagree with Washington on
- 41:40Speaker 5: the side either, though Baltimore is around minus one twenty
- 41:43Speaker 5: sixty two percent of the tickets around Baltimore. The public
- 41:46Speaker 5: wants Baltimore. But Washington is a very good road team.
- 41:49Speaker 5: Washington has a much better road record than home record.
- 41:52Speaker 5: They got home record, what they got their best pitcher
- 41:56Speaker 5: on the mound here seventy percent of the cash on Washington,
- 42:00Speaker 5: so the money is back in Washington. But again, if
- 42:02Speaker 5: I was gonna take Washington first five innings, you gotta
- 42:05Speaker 5: do it first five innings. I would not do it
- 42:07Speaker 5: full game. Obviously, they're bullpen. It's terrible, although you're gonna
- 42:11Speaker 5: get less of a good price on it, like they
- 42:12Speaker 5: might even actually be a favorite in the first five.
- 42:15Speaker 3: But that's still the.
- 42:16Speaker 5: Way that I would do that if I was gonna
- 42:17Speaker 5: play that side there, I forgot to take that down,
- 42:21Speaker 5: all right. Uh, all right, Seattle and Cleveland. I'm trying
- 42:25Speaker 5: to go through this quick man, because I also have
- 42:27Speaker 5: to leave Cleveland lost in the return home spot yesterday,
- 42:31Speaker 5: which doesn't surprise me. I mean, you're returning home from
- 42:33Speaker 5: a long road trip. It's not an easy spot. And
- 42:36Speaker 5: Cleveland just doesn't score a lot at home or really
- 42:39Speaker 5: in general right now, and their offense is pretty ugly
- 42:42Speaker 5: right now with all these injuries.
- 42:43Speaker 3: They lost three to one yesterday.
- 42:44Speaker 5: Luis Castillo finally had a good start for once. But
- 42:48Speaker 5: again I told you I thought Castillo was gonna start
- 42:51Speaker 5: pitching better at some point, so that makes sense. Now,
- 42:55Speaker 5: is this game gonna be another under I mean it could.
- 42:58Speaker 5: The oddsmakers will put up a low toed here. They
- 43:01Speaker 5: kind of have to in these Cleveland home games at
- 43:03Speaker 5: this point because these games tend to be so low scoring.
- 43:06Speaker 5: Cleveland use four relief pitchers yesterday, Seattle used three to
- 43:11Speaker 5: Both bullpens are pretty good.
- 43:13Speaker 3: Seattle's is better.
- 43:14Speaker 5: Seattle's marked fifteenth, but their eray is quite good, so
- 43:17Speaker 5: I think they're like a top ten bullpen.
- 43:19Speaker 3: Cleveland is a little bit worse at eighteenth.
- 43:21Speaker 5: Still a decent bullpen for Cleveland, though, although they let
- 43:25Speaker 5: me down at least once last week.
- 43:29Speaker 3: Let me see her. Maybe I think it was just once.
- 43:31Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 43:32Speaker 5: Cleveland's offense, like I said, really really struggling recently. At
- 43:35Speaker 5: twenty eighth Seattle, though they've been struggling to they're at
- 43:38Speaker 5: twenty six, tied with Arizona. Although I think Seattle is
- 43:41Speaker 5: definitely the better offense here. But Seattle does have injuries
- 43:44Speaker 5: as well, but they have more they have more of
- 43:48Speaker 5: an ability to overcome that, just because their offense, when
- 43:51Speaker 5: it's fully loaded, their offense is definitely better than Cleveland's,
- 43:55Speaker 5: and with injuries on both sides, yeah, Seattle's offense is
- 43:58Speaker 5: still the better one. Logan Gilbert is pitching for Seattle.
- 44:01Speaker 5: He's been really good recently, and he's had a good
- 44:04Speaker 5: season too. Three point two ninety RA, one point zero
- 44:07Speaker 5: one Whip. He's been really good on the road one
- 44:10Speaker 5: point oh four roady rail.
- 44:11Speaker 4: Though.
- 44:11Speaker 5: I said he was gonna start getting better at home,
- 44:14Speaker 5: which has happened, because just.
- 44:16Speaker 3: The amount of home runs he's allowed at home made
- 44:18Speaker 3: absolutely no sense.
- 44:19Speaker 5: Seattle is a very pitcher friendly ballpark and he's typically
- 44:23Speaker 5: been good there.
- 44:24Speaker 3: But he's been pitching.
- 44:25Speaker 5: Really good on the road, so I don't think you
- 44:27Speaker 5: really want to fade him here, and he's been in
- 44:28Speaker 5: really good for him. He's allowed one or zero earned
- 44:32Speaker 5: run in whatever this is, five of his last six
- 44:36Speaker 5: starts and his team has won every one of those games.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Uh So, yeah, he's pitching really well right now.
- 44:45Speaker 5: This should be an easy matchup for him as well
- 44:47Speaker 5: against Cleveland. He's got really good numbers against Cleveland in
- 44:50Speaker 5: forty eight at bats sixteen to zero strikeout walk ratio
- 44:54Speaker 5: here is that good?
- 44:56Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 44:57Speaker 5: Two eight batting average six to twenty five. Oh ps,
- 45:00Speaker 5: Gilbert should do well again here. He's in really good form.
- 45:03Speaker 5: The road numbers look really good. He's got a really
- 45:06Speaker 5: good match up here. He should outpitch Slade Chaconi, who
- 45:10Speaker 5: is definitely not as good. Four point four to eighty
- 45:13Speaker 5: r for him, one point four whip not very good.
- 45:16Speaker 5: He's a little bit better at home though, four point
- 45:19Speaker 5: h seven homier in Chaconi has actually been better this month.
- 45:22Speaker 5: He's allowed two or fewer earned runs in every start
- 45:25Speaker 5: this month. He's got at least five innings in all
- 45:27Speaker 5: of them. And he was not having easy opponents here.
- 45:30Speaker 5: He faced the Yankees twice in a row Milwaukee and Houston, and.
- 45:35Speaker 3: Cleveland lost every one of those games.
- 45:37Speaker 5: That's because Cleveland scored no more than two in any
- 45:41Speaker 5: of those games. So yeah, he's actually pitching pretty well
- 45:45Speaker 5: right now. Cleveland's offense has been awful behind him, so
- 45:48Speaker 5: he's getting absolutely no help from them. But he is
- 45:52Speaker 5: in good form right now, so I don't really want
- 45:54Speaker 5: to fade him. Although a little bit of a red
- 45:56Speaker 5: flag they only had one strikeout last time out against Houston.
- 45:59Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, he's definitely been good really going
- 46:04Speaker 5: kind of through like the middle of May, he's been
- 46:06Speaker 5: pretty good. So he does look pretty good right now.
- 46:09Speaker 5: His hit rate is still too high on the season,
- 46:11Speaker 5: those walk rate is not that bad though, and his
- 46:14Speaker 5: strike out rate is low. He's not a strikeout guy,
- 46:17Speaker 5: but he is pitching better right now, and he does
- 46:19Speaker 5: have good numbers against the Mariners in twenty nine at
- 46:22Speaker 5: bats two forty one average, six fifty seven OPS eight
- 46:26Speaker 5: to three strike out walk ratio, so chacone. Yeah, I mean,
- 46:32Speaker 5: I still like Seattle in this game, but Cleveland is
- 46:34Speaker 5: in one of those spots that's a bounce back spot,
- 46:36Speaker 5: like I always talking about when a team returns home
- 46:39Speaker 5: from the road and they don't do well in that game.
- 46:41Speaker 5: A lot of times they do bounce back and they
- 46:42Speaker 5: play a much better game in the second game. So
- 46:45Speaker 5: I don't really want to take Seattle here. You're gonna
- 46:48Speaker 5: have to play them as a road favorite. If you
- 46:50Speaker 5: do play them here, I'm pretty sure. Let me see,
- 46:52Speaker 5: where are we looking at? Yeah, Seattle's yeah minus one
- 46:56Speaker 5: forty eight. Basically here looks like they are getting some
- 46:58Speaker 5: of the money although they are all public eighty five
- 47:01Speaker 5: percent of tickets ninety percent of the cash on them.
- 47:03Speaker 5: The money's also backing the over fifty five percent of
- 47:06Speaker 5: tickets on the under sixty two percent of the cash
- 47:08Speaker 5: on the over.
- 47:10Speaker 3: I think this game looks like an under.
- 47:12Speaker 5: Both starting pitchers actually have pretty good matchup numbers here,
- 47:15Speaker 5: they're both in pretty good form right now, and we
- 47:17Speaker 5: got two pretty good bullpens here. So yeah, I think
- 47:20Speaker 5: the under makes more sense in that game. It might
- 47:22Speaker 5: make more sense than anything else. Although I'd still agree
- 47:25Speaker 5: with the Seattle side if you really wanted to play
- 47:27Speaker 5: a side there, because I think they have the better
- 47:29Speaker 5: starting pitcher here still, and they have the better bullpen
- 47:32Speaker 5: and the better offense. So I'd still need a Seattle
- 47:35Speaker 5: because I think they have all the matchup edges, but
- 47:37Speaker 5: that is a little bit of a price there. Seems
- 47:40Speaker 5: like the public and maybe the professionals are all on
- 47:42Speaker 5: Seattle there though, But yeah, an under to me does
- 47:45Speaker 5: make sense in that game too, total seven and a
- 47:47Speaker 5: half juice to the under, So it is low for
- 47:50Speaker 5: a reason. All right, Uh, Cubs in Milwaukee, Milwaukee, even
- 47:54Speaker 5: though they were returning home, they had Mizerowski on the
- 47:57Speaker 5: mound yesterday, So I really did not want to fade
- 47:59Speaker 5: that Milwaukee still had all the match up batches and
- 48:02Speaker 5: arrest advantage yesterday because the Cubs had that double header
- 48:06Speaker 5: a couple of days ago. Milwaukee got the win, not
- 48:08Speaker 5: really surprising. They won six to two. Mizierowski throw a
- 48:12Speaker 5: one hundred and five and a half mile an hour
- 48:14Speaker 5: pitch in the game yesterday, which was the highest pitch
- 48:17Speaker 5: recorded in a Major League Baseball game in the last
- 48:20Speaker 5: like twenty years or something. I need to look at
- 48:23Speaker 5: who do we think threw that pitch that was that fast?
- 48:26Speaker 5: I think they said it was actually in like two
- 48:28Speaker 5: thousand and eight, I think is what I saw. I
- 48:30Speaker 5: was trying to guess who that pitcher would have been, Like,
- 48:33Speaker 5: which pitcher in two thousand and eight was the fastest?
- 48:36Speaker 5: Three It had to have been a relief pitcher, right like,
- 48:39Speaker 5: because Mizierowski is like the only unless the stat was
- 48:43Speaker 5: that it came from a starter. I don't know, I'll
- 48:44Speaker 5: have to look that up, but usually like nobody throws
- 48:48Speaker 5: quite that hard though I don't know. I mean, I
- 48:51Speaker 5: don't know, I'm gonna have to look it up, but
- 48:53Speaker 5: it was something like that. Anyway, Milwaukee, they do have
- 48:57Speaker 5: the better bullpen here. These three guys out of the bullpen. Yes,
- 49:00Speaker 5: today the Cubs only used two, so they did start
- 49:03Speaker 5: being able to rest their bullpen a little bit here.
- 49:05Speaker 5: So the Cubs should be in a little bit better
- 49:07Speaker 5: shape here. They're the eleventh ranked bullpen, Milwaukee's twelfth. But
- 49:11Speaker 5: Milwaukee's got the better bullpeny Ray, I think Milwaukee is
- 49:13Speaker 5: the better bullpen here. The Cubs are the slightly better
- 49:17Speaker 5: offense at seven, Milwaukee tenth. Cubs, though, I mean, this
- 49:22Speaker 5: is I don't know what to say about this. Look
- 49:25Speaker 5: who's pitching for the Cubs. Man making his Cub debut.
- 49:30Speaker 5: He was just released by the Mets. Are good pal,
- 49:33Speaker 5: David Peterson is making the start I guess for the
- 49:36Speaker 5: Cubs here. They might put an opener in front of him,
- 49:40Speaker 5: though I don't know. I wouldn't be entirely sure that
- 49:42Speaker 5: Peterson is actually gonna make the start here, but whatever,
- 49:46Speaker 5: Man the Cubs. They got some injuries in the rotation heres,
- 49:49Speaker 5: so they they picked up David Peterson.
- 49:52Speaker 3: And you know, I am not a fan.
- 49:55Speaker 5: I mean, why would I pay six point h ninety
- 49:58Speaker 5: ra one point six y five whip this some bad
- 50:00Speaker 5: stuff here? He was a little bit better on the
- 50:03Speaker 5: road though, so far five point zero three Roadie all
- 50:06Speaker 5: right with the Mets this year. Wasn't pitching well at
- 50:10Speaker 5: all this month, and the Mets got rid of him.
- 50:12Speaker 5: He'd allowed thirteen or in runs and ten and two
- 50:14Speaker 5: thirds innings this month. Yeah, that's not good on fifteen hits,
- 50:18Speaker 5: six walks, seven strikeouts. Nothing to like about any of
- 50:21Speaker 5: those numbers. So the Mets got rid of them. And
- 50:25Speaker 5: that's that's even a worse sign. If you're on like
- 50:29Speaker 5: one of the teams with the worst records in baseball
- 50:32Speaker 5: and they get rid of you, that is really not
- 50:34Speaker 5: a good sign. He's not even good enough for the Mets. However,
- 50:38Speaker 5: he's now on a contending team, the Cubs. They might
- 50:41Speaker 5: be a playoff team here. So the one thing about
- 50:44Speaker 5: this is that when a pitcher goes from like a
- 50:47Speaker 5: bad scenario like the Mets, where the team's not playing
- 50:50Speaker 5: well and they go to a team that actually is
- 50:52Speaker 5: a contender, like the Cubs, he might actually pitch better.
- 50:55Speaker 5: He might actually be excited to be on a contending team,
- 50:58Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So I wouldn't really blindly
- 51:01Speaker 5: fade Peterson here, but his number suck. He's got a
- 51:04Speaker 5: high hit rate, really high. His walk rate is also terrible.
- 51:07Speaker 5: His strike out rate is okay. He does induce a
- 51:10Speaker 5: lot of ground balls still, but that masks how bad
- 51:13Speaker 5: he is a lot of the time. His numbers against Milwaukee, though,
- 51:16Speaker 5: are actually really pretty good. And I'm forty nine at
- 51:19Speaker 5: bats one eighty four batting average, five point twenty three ohps,
- 51:22Speaker 5: fourteen to eight strike out walk ratio. That's the only
- 51:25Speaker 5: bad number here again is the walks. So Peterson actually
- 51:29Speaker 5: could be excited here, and he does draw actually a
- 51:31Speaker 5: decent matchup for himself here against Milwaukee, So I don't
- 51:36Speaker 5: I'm not gonna blindly fade Peterson here, but he's obviously
- 51:40Speaker 5: the lesser pitcher here going up against Kyle Harrison, who's
- 51:43Speaker 5: been excellent two point five RRA, one point six WHIP,
- 51:47Speaker 5: one point two ninety RRA at home.
- 51:48Speaker 3: He's been really, really good.
- 51:50Speaker 5: Obviously, he had one stumble at that a stadium in Vegas,
- 51:55Speaker 5: so I'm gonna completely give him a pass for that.
- 51:57Speaker 5: He's bounced back completely on his last two starts. He's
- 52:00Speaker 5: been fine, and both of those better than fine. Harrison's
- 52:04Speaker 5: been awesome like all season except for that one bad
- 52:07Speaker 5: start for the most part.
- 52:08Speaker 3: A little bit shaky really early in the season.
- 52:10Speaker 5: But other than that, low hit rate, low walk rate,
- 52:14Speaker 5: high strikeout rate, really only things to like about Harrison here,
- 52:19Speaker 5: and he also dominates the Cobs. Twenty seven at bats,
- 52:22Speaker 5: he only have one extra base he had a double
- 52:24Speaker 5: from Horner. He's only allowed two hits to them, thirteen strikeouts,
- 52:29Speaker 5: one walk, so half of the bats have been strikeouts
- 52:32Speaker 5: seventy basically seventy four average allowed to eighteen ops. Harrison
- 52:37Speaker 5: has absolutely burned through this lineup, although now the Cubs
- 52:42Speaker 5: will have seen him a little bit more so maybe
- 52:44Speaker 5: that'll help them a little bit.
- 52:45Speaker 3: But you know, when I first looked at this, I was.
- 52:48Speaker 5: Like, you have to lean Milwaukee here, like Harrison against Peterson,
- 52:51Speaker 5: Come on, man, And I still think I probably do
- 52:55Speaker 5: lean that way. But Peterson there are some reasons why
- 52:58Speaker 5: maybe he won't be that bad here. Milwaukee has minus
- 53:01Speaker 5: won sixty something year. I mean, it's probably justified given
- 53:06Speaker 5: what this pitching matchup is.
- 53:07Speaker 3: The money is coming in.
- 53:08Speaker 5: Slightly that way, even though they're public eighty eight percent
- 53:11Speaker 5: of tickets ninety three percent of the cash on the Brewers.
- 53:15Speaker 5: You know, if you wanted to do a split bet
- 53:17Speaker 5: partially run line, partially money line in Milwaukee, I could
- 53:21Speaker 5: see why you'd want to do it. Like you know,
- 53:23Speaker 5: I'm not gonna get there with that, though. The money's
- 53:26Speaker 5: also backing the over sixty five percent of tickets ninety
- 53:29Speaker 5: five percent of the cash on the over.
- 53:30Speaker 3: I do not buy that total at eight.
- 53:34Speaker 5: Although if you do think the over is correct and
- 53:36Speaker 5: the money is backing it, and you do think Milwaukee
- 53:38Speaker 5: will win, then naturally Milwaukee going over their team total
- 53:43Speaker 5: makes sense here. You could take Milwaukee to just score
- 53:46Speaker 5: some runs here against good old Peterson.
- 53:49Speaker 3: However, I actually think it under makes more sense in
- 53:52Speaker 3: this game. The totals at eight.
- 53:54Speaker 5: The bullpen's the Cubs bullpens in a little bit better
- 53:57Speaker 5: shape now after they were able to rest yesterday. For
- 54:00Speaker 5: the most part, both starting pitchers might actually do well
- 54:04Speaker 5: enough for that to happen, So I think it under
- 54:06Speaker 5: makes sense in that game, and.
- 54:09Speaker 3: To me.
- 54:09Speaker 5: You would think the public would come in on an
- 54:11Speaker 5: over in a Cubs and Brewers game, you know, because
- 54:14Speaker 5: everybody just kind of knows both these teams could score
- 54:16Speaker 5: some runs.
- 54:17Speaker 3: So I don't know.
- 54:19Speaker 5: I think an under does actually kind of make sense there.
- 54:21Speaker 5: All right, I'm gonna be right back. I'll talk about
- 54:23Speaker 5: the rest of these. I will say, hello, what's up, Charles,
- 54:27Speaker 5: mister pinsy. I gave you guys the bets already. Those
- 54:30Speaker 5: are my only plays today. Yes, so Cincinnati first five
- 54:35Speaker 5: and Arizona split bet, run line, money line, those are
- 54:37Speaker 5: my only plays.
- 54:39Speaker 3: I will be back in a second. All right. Next
- 56:10Speaker 3: game is Colorado Minnesota.
- 56:11Speaker 5: I did talk about yesterday how this looked like an
- 56:13Speaker 5: over series, though I wasn't sure about that pitching matchup yesterday,
- 56:17Speaker 5: but yeah, that game went over nine to eight, Minnesota win.
- 56:22Speaker 5: I did just talk about how Minnesota plays the highest
- 56:24Speaker 5: scoring home games in baseball because they scored decently and
- 56:28Speaker 5: they're off and they're a bullpen. I mean, it's terrible
- 56:32Speaker 5: looking at the bullpens. Yeah, Minnesota is twenty ninth out
- 56:35Speaker 5: of thirty only because the Royals are so bad. Yesterday
- 56:38Speaker 5: they overtook Minnesota, so congratulations, Colorado twenty seven. They got
- 56:44Speaker 5: their year array below five. Again, still really not good.
- 56:48Speaker 5: Both teams have been able to hit. The Rockies are
- 56:51Speaker 5: eighth Minnesota ninth in offense. So again, this does look
- 56:55Speaker 5: like it's gonna be a series with overs coming in
- 56:58Speaker 5: we already did have one. This does look more over
- 57:01Speaker 5: conduced of this time. I'm not gonna do it, but
- 57:04Speaker 5: probably that would be the way I would look at
- 57:06Speaker 5: this game. Michael lorenz And is pitching for the Rockies.
- 57:09Speaker 5: He is not good at all. Seven point one one ERA,
- 57:13Speaker 5: one point eight three whip is ridiculously bad. He is
- 57:17Speaker 5: better on the road. I mean it makes sense, you know,
- 57:19Speaker 5: pitching a course field is awful, but his ERA on
- 57:22Speaker 5: the road is still bad.
- 57:24Speaker 3: Six point oh five. That's not good.
- 57:27Speaker 5: He has pitched a little bit better this month though,
- 57:30Speaker 5: does have twenty two strikeouts at six walks this month.
- 57:33Speaker 5: That's not too bad. He's been too hit able, but
- 57:36Speaker 5: it was mostly one start against Anaheim, so his last
- 57:38Speaker 5: three starts he's actually been significantly better, really against the
- 57:43Speaker 5: Cubs and Pittsburgh in those three starts, so those were
- 57:47Speaker 5: not easy offenses to face. So Lorenzen is actually pitching
- 57:52Speaker 5: a little bit better right now, but it's still he
- 57:54Speaker 5: has a ridiculously high hit rate. His walk rate is
- 57:57Speaker 5: not too bad, but it's not great. Strike got rad
- 58:00Speaker 5: is not great. You know, there's not a lot to
- 58:04Speaker 5: like here. His numbers against Minnesota are not very good.
- 58:06Speaker 5: Two sixty seven average, eight oh six ops a lot
- 58:09Speaker 5: in seventy five at bats, fourteen to five strike out
- 58:12Speaker 5: walk ratio. Yeah, I mean, I still think he's probably
- 58:15Speaker 5: fatable here. Minnesota's got the wild card here with Mike
- 58:20Speaker 5: Parades going here four point zero five yar ray for him,
- 58:24Speaker 5: one point two whip. He's made five appearances so far,
- 58:28Speaker 5: three starts all this season.
- 58:31Speaker 3: He's been okay. I mean, I don't know, man.
- 58:34Speaker 5: If you look at his numbers, he's got a low
- 58:35Speaker 5: hit rate, but his walk rate is way too high.
- 58:38Speaker 5: His strike out rate is really low. That worries me
- 58:41Speaker 5: that he's just not fooling hitters. You know, he's not
- 58:44Speaker 5: really going deep into games either. He finally went five
- 58:46Speaker 5: innings last time out against Arizona, but he only had
- 58:49Speaker 5: one strikeout there.
- 58:51Speaker 3: So I don't know what to think about him.
- 58:53Speaker 5: I don't think he's that good though, if he's not
- 58:54Speaker 5: striking anybody out Paradas is he's got no his against Colorado,
- 59:01Speaker 5: so he's unfamiliar to them, so maybe he'll be able
- 59:03Speaker 5: to pitch well here against Colorado. I still think over
- 59:07Speaker 5: is probably the way to go here. You could go
- 59:10Speaker 5: twins over their team total, just to take that question
- 59:13Speaker 5: mark out of the equation with Parades and just go with.
- 59:18Speaker 3: The Minnesota to do scoring off of Colorado.
- 59:20Speaker 5: But if you go full game on this, like Minnesota's
- 59:23Speaker 5: bullpen is probably gonna be pitching many innings in this game,
- 59:27Speaker 5: so that may be the way you want to go.
- 59:29Speaker 5: And I forgot to look at the bullpen usage here.
- 59:31Speaker 5: Minnesota used four guys yesterday, Colorado used five, So yeah,
- 59:36Speaker 5: I mean full game over does make sense. And then
- 59:38Speaker 5: you take advantage of two really bad bullpens. Sixty three
- 59:42Speaker 5: percent of tickets, ninety one percent of the cash on
- 59:43Speaker 5: the over, the total is mostly nine and a half
- 59:46Speaker 5: out there. There is a nine at the Roman Emperor's
- 59:51Speaker 5: book there, so you can get it. You can get
- 59:55Speaker 5: on that key number of nine and go over there
- 59:57Speaker 5: with a little bit of juice on the over. That's
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: probably the way to play that game. But it's not
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: gonna be on my card. I think too many question
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: marks there. Miami and Saint Louis. Miami got the win yesterday.
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: I was right about that game. I thought it would
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: be a low scoring Miami win that that was exactly
- 1:00:15Speaker 5: what it was. It was a four to nothing Miami
- 1:00:17Speaker 5: win behind Max Meyer. Miami is really downgrading and they're
- 1:00:21Speaker 5: pitching for today's game though.
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: Miami does have a good bullpen, and the only.
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: These two guys yesterday to over the last two days
- 1:00:29Speaker 5: because they were resting the day before that. Saint Louis
- 1:00:33Speaker 5: more mediocre in the bullpen department, used three guys and
- 1:00:36Speaker 5: they did rest the day before that too because they
- 1:00:38Speaker 5: had a rain out. But Saint Louis is number twenty
- 1:00:41Speaker 5: two in bullpen. They're not really that good. Miami's number two,
- 1:00:45Speaker 5: not an ERA, but their bullpen is still one of
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: the better. They're like the fourth best bullpen e RA
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: or fifth maybe whatever it was.
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: This is a good Miami.
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: Bullpen, though offensively not so much for Miami.
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: They are where are they at?
- 1:01:01Speaker 5: They're eighteenth and Saint Louis is sixteenth, so both kind
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: of middle of the pack offenses. Miami's going with Ryan
- 1:01:10Speaker 5: Gusto though, and you know, I do not trust Gusto
- 1:01:13Speaker 5: at all.
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: He's not good.
- 1:01:14Speaker 5: Six ERA one point six to one whip, ten point
- 1:01:18Speaker 5: eight roady RA.
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: That is not good. I tried to.
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: Fade him last time out with San Francisco and that
- 1:01:24Speaker 5: was a home game for Gusto and he wasn't even
- 1:01:26Speaker 5: really that good. He didn't even go the full five
- 1:01:29Speaker 5: innings there, but we still couldn't get it done. I
- 1:01:32Speaker 5: don't know if it was a push or a loss
- 1:01:33Speaker 5: for us there. I think we backed Logan Webbed there. Yeah,
- 1:01:37Speaker 5: I don't know what happened there.
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: Gusto.
- 1:01:40Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, just can't trust San Francisco's offense. I guess,
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: man Gusto. I mean, he hasn't pitched that much this year.
- 1:01:47Speaker 5: He's got a high hit rate, those walk rates too
- 1:01:49Speaker 5: high as well. Strike got rad is not horrible, but
- 1:01:52Speaker 5: there's not a lot to like here. He hasn't been
- 1:01:55Speaker 5: seen before by Saint Louis, so I guess he does
- 1:01:57Speaker 5: have that advantage of unfamiliar. But I would not want
- 1:02:02Speaker 5: to touch Gusto here. Andre Payante is pitching for the Cardinals.
- 1:02:06Speaker 5: He's actually been decent recently. Three point five to ninety
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: RA overall, one point one to nine whip, those numbers
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: are not bad. He's been worse at home though, four
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: point one seven home ERA.
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: But he's been good this month.
- 1:02:19Speaker 5: He's allowed two or viewer and runs in all four starts,
- 1:02:22Speaker 5: but he's faced all pretty weak offenses here Texas, Mets,
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: San Diego, Arizona. He's had six games in a row
- 1:02:30Speaker 5: where his team has won all of those games, though
- 1:02:33Speaker 5: with him starting, so Saint Louis is playing well behind him.
- 1:02:37Speaker 5: He's got good numbers this month sixteen hits and twenty
- 1:02:39Speaker 5: four to two thirds innings, eighteen strikeouts, four walks, not
- 1:02:43Speaker 5: a high strikeout rate, but rest of these numbers are good,
- 1:02:46Speaker 5: but again against weak offenses. So but Miami is not
- 1:02:50Speaker 5: exactly a strong offense. He's got a low hit rate
- 1:02:54Speaker 5: on the season, his walk rates fairly low as well.
- 1:02:56Speaker 5: Strikeout rate is also low. Though he's kind of a
- 1:02:59Speaker 5: he's more of a ground ball pitcher. He doesn't strike
- 1:03:01Speaker 5: a lot of guys out, which again the advanced analytics
- 1:03:03Speaker 5: guys don't like, and sometimes I do, sometimes I don't like.
- 1:03:07Speaker 5: I usually look at the whip to try to determine
- 1:03:09Speaker 5: what I think his numbers are good against Miami, and
- 1:03:12Speaker 5: they only have six hitters who have faced him twenty
- 1:03:14Speaker 5: three at bats, no extra base hits, two seventeen average,
- 1:03:18Speaker 5: four point thirty five ops four, zero strike out walk ratio.
- 1:03:21Speaker 5: So yeah, Payante, I think should pitch well here, even
- 1:03:24Speaker 5: though he hasn't been as good at home. I think
- 1:03:27Speaker 5: Saint Louis is the way to look here. I think
- 1:03:28Speaker 5: they bounce back and they get this win here. They
- 1:03:31Speaker 5: got the pitching edge with the money doesn't agree with me.
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: Seventy four percent of ticket seventy one percent of the
- 1:03:36Speaker 5: cash on Saint Louis. You would think the public would
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: kind of be backing Miami though, because Miami has been hot.
- 1:03:41Speaker 5: I think they've won like five games in a row
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: or something. But of course the oddsmakers are telling you
- 1:03:47Speaker 5: they don't buy it, especially with this pitching matchup. I mean,
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: you have to make Gusto an underdog, especially on the road.
- 1:03:54Speaker 5: Minus one forty is about the price on Saint Louis.
- 1:03:58Speaker 5: I would go first five on Saint Lewis, though I
- 1:04:00Speaker 5: would not go full game because Miami's bullpen is definitely better.
- 1:04:04Speaker 5: The money is also backing the over in this game.
- 1:04:07Speaker 5: I don't know about that. I think Saint Louis is
- 1:04:10Speaker 5: the better way to look. I think you could lay
- 1:04:11Speaker 5: a run line in the first five. Maybe that's the
- 1:04:14Speaker 5: way you want to go, because the price is gonna
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: be a bit higher to go Saint Louis first five
- 1:04:18Speaker 5: because the odds makers know Miami's got the better bullpen,
- 1:04:22Speaker 5: So laying a half run in the first five is
- 1:04:24Speaker 5: probably what I would do with Saint Louis in that one.
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: What's going on here? Oh?
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: We have towers going on in the chat ald, I
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: was like, am I getting spammed?
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: What's going on here?
- 1:04:36Speaker 4: All right?
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: Dodgers San Diego on MLB Network because this is one
- 1:04:41Speaker 5: of the big matchups of the weekend.
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: San Diego behind Walker Bueller.
- 1:04:46Speaker 5: Seven to one win yesterday, Probably not a good sign
- 1:04:48Speaker 5: for Sasaki, who pitched in that game. But yeah, the
- 1:04:52Speaker 5: Dodgers are probably gonna win this game tonight. Though if
- 1:04:55Speaker 5: you haven't seen him, what with the starting pitching matchup
- 1:04:57Speaker 5: looks like yet? Yeah? I said that I thought that
- 1:05:02Speaker 5: was a beneficial starting pitching matchup. I gave out a
- 1:05:04Speaker 5: lean towards San Diego first five last night in that one.
- 1:05:08Speaker 5: This is not beneficial at all to San Diego tonight though.
- 1:05:11Speaker 5: The Dodgers are the way better team, so highly likely
- 1:05:14Speaker 5: the Dodgers are gonna win this game.
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: Here. The Dodgers did use four relief.
- 1:05:18Speaker 5: Pitchers yesterday, though San Diego used four as well. San
- 1:05:22Speaker 5: Diego does have the better bullpen. They're basically elite. They
- 1:05:25Speaker 5: have the second best bullpen in the r RAY, the
- 1:05:27Speaker 5: ranked sixth in WHIP, but I think they're probably the
- 1:05:29Speaker 5: second best bullpen.
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: Dodgers not too bad.
- 1:05:34Speaker 5: They're actually ranked fifth in WHIP, although they're not as
- 1:05:36Speaker 5: good as San Diego ERA wise, they're a bit behind
- 1:05:40Speaker 5: there by three quarters of a run. Dodgers are still
- 1:05:44Speaker 5: the number one offense, and rightfully so. San Diego's the
- 1:05:48Speaker 5: last ranked offense, so again we have the number one
- 1:05:51Speaker 5: offense versus the number thirty offense here. Dodgers are also
- 1:05:56Speaker 5: going with Yoshinoba Yamamoto here, so that is a big
- 1:05:59Speaker 5: step up up from Sasaki. Yamamoto two point six five
- 1:06:03Speaker 5: ERA point eight seven whip is really good. He's been
- 1:06:07Speaker 5: good on the road as well, two point one eight ROADIRA.
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: This is also gonna be a picture from the environment.
- 1:06:12Speaker 5: He faced San Diego back in mid May and he
- 1:06:15Speaker 5: pretty much dominated them here in this stadium. However, the
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: Dodgers scored zero in that game, and he lost the
- 1:06:22Speaker 5: game one and nothing, but wasn't his fault.
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: He was excellent in that game.
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: He's been good, you know, pretty much the entire season,
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: and what else is there to say. He's allowed one
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: or fewer earned run and all but one of his
- 1:06:35Speaker 5: outings since mid May. He's got a decent strikeout raid
- 1:06:39Speaker 5: and really low hit rate and really low walk rate too,
- 1:06:43Speaker 5: so it all looks pretty.
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: Good for him.
- 1:06:45Speaker 5: His numbers against San Diego, though, actually don't look that good,
- 1:06:48Speaker 5: although he dominated them the one time he faced them
- 1:06:51Speaker 5: this year. Sixty nine at bats huh, twenty strikeouts, eight
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: walks to sixty one average eight forty five ohps. You know,
- 1:07:00Speaker 5: I mean, does that mean we should fade Yamamoto? No,
- 1:07:03Speaker 5: But those numbers are a little bit questionable, So you know,
- 1:07:07Speaker 5: you don't like to see that when you have a
- 1:07:08Speaker 5: good pitcher and his matchup numbers happened to just not
- 1:07:11Speaker 5: be good against that particular team. But can you really
- 1:07:14Speaker 5: predict that this awful offense for San Diego is really
- 1:07:17Speaker 5: gonna do that much damage against Yamamoto?
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: Randy Vasquez is pitching for San Diego and he's just
- 1:07:24Speaker 5: falling off again. He's not good, dude. I've been saying that,
- 1:07:28Speaker 5: you know, looking at his numbers throughout his career, like
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: his whip was always too high. This year, I tried
- 1:07:32Speaker 5: to back him a few times, and I think we
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: did get at least one or two wins out of that,
- 1:07:37Speaker 5: but his whip was better and now it's not. So
- 1:07:40Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, you know, the advanced analytics guy's got
- 1:07:42Speaker 5: this right.
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: Vazquez isn't good.
- 1:07:45Speaker 5: He's got a four point one seven ERA, which looks
- 1:07:47Speaker 5: all right, but his one point four whip is not good.
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: Somehow.
- 1:07:51Speaker 5: He's been really bad at home four point nine to
- 1:07:53Speaker 5: nine Homie ra even though this is a pitcher friendly park,
- 1:07:56Speaker 5: he doesn't pitch well at home.
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: He's been not very good recently.
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: He's failed to make it five innings in two of
- 1:08:02Speaker 5: his last four outings, and he was mostly facing some
- 1:08:04Speaker 5: kind of weak offenses here too. So he got lit
- 1:08:07Speaker 5: up in Texas last time out, and I think we
- 1:08:09Speaker 5: lost an under in that game.
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: So not good. Not good.
- 1:08:14Speaker 5: Not a good sign that he did that poorly in
- 1:08:17Speaker 5: Texas where basically nobody scores in Texas. He's got a
- 1:08:23Speaker 5: bad hit rate. His hit rate is well above his
- 1:08:25Speaker 5: amount of innings pitch. His walk rate is not terrific,
- 1:08:29Speaker 5: strike got rate really low.
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: He's a fly ball pitcher two. I don't know.
- 1:08:33Speaker 5: There's not really a lot to like here with Vasquez.
- 1:08:35Speaker 5: His numbers against the Dodgers are a little bit weird.
- 1:08:38Speaker 5: In forty five at bats, he's allowed a pretty low
- 1:08:40Speaker 5: to forty four average, but they've hit him for power
- 1:08:43Speaker 5: eight thirty eight ohps is pretty high. Six to five
- 1:08:47Speaker 5: strike out walker, five to six strike out walk ratio,
- 1:08:49Speaker 5: my mistake, that's not really good either.
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: So I think Vazquez is.
- 1:08:53Speaker 5: Probably gonna get hit around a bit here. I actually
- 1:08:56Speaker 5: think it over kind of makes sense in this game
- 1:08:59Speaker 5: a lot. I don't know if you really want to
- 1:09:01Speaker 5: try to fade Ya'm a moto, but the over could
- 1:09:05Speaker 5: happen anyway with how good the Dodgers are offensively on
- 1:09:08Speaker 5: the road, usually sixty seven percent of tickets ninety two
- 1:09:10Speaker 5: percent of the cash on the over here totals at
- 1:09:13Speaker 5: eight ninety three percent of tickets, ninety five percent of
- 1:09:16Speaker 5: the cash on the Dodgers at minus two hundred. You
- 1:09:19Speaker 5: can't really lay minus two hundred on the road with
- 1:09:21Speaker 5: the Dodgers man, if you really wanted to go like
- 1:09:23Speaker 5: run line with it, I guess you could because I
- 1:09:25Speaker 5: do think they will bounce back. But San Diego has
- 1:09:28Speaker 5: a better bullpen too, but that might not really help
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: if Vazqz sucks and he's out of the game early.
- 1:09:35Speaker 5: Maybe the best way to play this is to go
- 1:09:37Speaker 5: Dodgers over their team total. You know, I think that
- 1:09:40Speaker 5: might be the way to go here, just expecting the
- 1:09:42Speaker 5: Dodgers bounce back. Yamamoto I think has kind of a
- 1:09:46Speaker 5: wide possibility here because he doesn't have good matchup numbers,
- 1:09:49Speaker 5: but he is a good pitcher, so I think he
- 1:09:51Speaker 5: could do anything from good to bad here. So I
- 1:09:55Speaker 5: think over Dodgers team total probably makes the most sense there.
- 1:09:58Speaker 5: You're gonna need him to get probably six runs though,
- 1:10:01Speaker 5: to get over that thing, So I don't know if
- 1:10:04Speaker 5: I really want to do that, but you'll get all
- 1:10:05Speaker 5: nine at bats against them. Well, I mean, revenge isn't
- 1:10:10Speaker 5: exactly a thing like I mean, it's more the team
- 1:10:13Speaker 5: is just gonna be more focused and make adjustments off
- 1:10:16Speaker 5: of it. San Diego is not gonna overlook the Dodgers either.
- 1:10:19Speaker 5: It's just that the Dodgers are the better team when
- 1:10:22Speaker 5: you get the better team off a loss like that,
- 1:10:24Speaker 5: usually they do play well. Atlanta at San Francisco. Atlanta
- 1:10:31Speaker 5: won the game yesterday, not too surprising there, it was
- 1:10:33Speaker 5: three to one. It was another low scoring San Francisco game.
- 1:10:36Speaker 5: As I keep saying, San Francisco, their offense is not good. Dude,
- 1:10:40Speaker 5: don't let those huge offensive numbers they put up in
- 1:10:43Speaker 5: those three games lie to you, because they are not good.
- 1:10:47Speaker 5: San Francisco used three relief pitchers yesterday Atlanta used four,
- 1:10:52Speaker 5: but they're relatively rested in the bullpen department, though I
- 1:10:55Speaker 5: think they did have to use some of their better relievers.
- 1:10:57Speaker 5: But they have a deep bullpend ther the numberumber one
- 1:11:00Speaker 5: bullpen in baseball, and whip Andy Ray by quite a bit.
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: San Francisco has not been very good.
- 1:11:05Speaker 5: Twenty fourth kind of surprises me because one one thing
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: they actually did do well last year was pitch out
- 1:11:11Speaker 5: of a bullpen, and that has not been the case
- 1:11:13Speaker 5: this year. Hitting wise, the Braves have fallen off a
- 1:11:16Speaker 5: little bit. They're eleventh now, although they do hit better
- 1:11:19Speaker 5: on the road, and San Francisco's twelfth, but I don't
- 1:11:22Speaker 5: buy it. I think San Francisco is a bottom ten offense.
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: They suck. Atlanta is the better offense.
- 1:11:28Speaker 5: However, Atlanta probably does not have the starting pitching edge
- 1:11:31Speaker 5: heear With Bryce Elder pitching, he still has good numbers
- 1:11:34Speaker 5: on the season three point seven to one ERA, one
- 1:11:37Speaker 5: point two to one WHIP. He's not as good on
- 1:11:39Speaker 5: the road though, four point four to one Roadie RA
- 1:11:41Speaker 5: and his last two starts have been horrible, absolutely horrible.
- 1:11:46Speaker 5: He got wrecked by the Mets, which is not a
- 1:11:48Speaker 5: good sign, and then that carried over into a start
- 1:11:50Speaker 5: against Milwaukee.
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: He's given up twenty two hits.
- 1:11:53Speaker 5: In his last ten innings, dude, on top of fourteen
- 1:11:56Speaker 5: runs allowed.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: Is that good? Yeah?
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: No?
- 1:12:00Speaker 5: Oh, Elder is getting absolutely massacred it right now.
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: So there's no way that I could back Elder here.
- 1:12:06Speaker 5: Even though his numbers are fine ish on the season,
- 1:12:08Speaker 5: his hit rate is still good, his walk rate's still
- 1:12:10Speaker 5: pretty good, strike got rate is low, but he's just
- 1:12:14Speaker 5: getting absolutely hit around, dude. He's putting pitches over the plate,
- 1:12:17Speaker 5: not fooling anybody. Yeah, he's not a good form here,
- 1:12:21Speaker 5: and San Francisco actually does hit him well, even though
- 1:12:23Speaker 5: their offense is putrid. They have a three thirty three
- 1:12:26Speaker 5: average nine to sixty eight ops against him in forty
- 1:12:29Speaker 5: eight at bats nine to four strike got walk ratio.
- 1:12:32Speaker 5: So Elder does not do well against these guys. I
- 1:12:35Speaker 5: don't think he's gonna pitch well here. Logan Webb is
- 1:12:38Speaker 5: pitching for the Giants, and you know, I think he's
- 1:12:41Speaker 5: the better of these two pitchers. Webb has been in
- 1:12:44Speaker 5: way better for him than Elder recently. Web has completely
- 1:12:46Speaker 5: turned it around after he wasn't that good or early
- 1:12:49Speaker 5: in the season. He actually got injured as well, but
- 1:12:51Speaker 5: he's been really good over his last few starts.
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: He's got his ERA down to.
- 1:12:55Speaker 5: Three point three five one point one to two whip
- 1:12:58Speaker 5: and we know the Web is basic been the most
- 1:13:00Speaker 5: steady pitcher in the Giants rotation for the last few
- 1:13:03Speaker 5: years two point or excuse me, three point nine two
- 1:13:06Speaker 5: ERA at home. He is usually better at home, though
- 1:13:08Speaker 5: like last year he was better at home, so I'm
- 1:13:10Speaker 5: not too concerned by his HOLEYRA being a little bit higher.
- 1:13:14Speaker 5: He's got eight innings each in his last three starts,
- 1:13:17Speaker 5: so yeah, I know his pitch count is getting up there.
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: But he's a grinder, dude.
- 1:13:21Speaker 5: I call him the grinder because he's known for going
- 1:13:24Speaker 5: deep into all these starts, so he's kind of used
- 1:13:26Speaker 5: to that sort of thing, so that doesn't worry me
- 1:13:28Speaker 5: that much. He's been really good this month. He's allowed
- 1:13:32Speaker 5: three runs in thirty one innings, three urn runs sorry,
- 1:13:36Speaker 5: one unnern run in there, eighteen hits allowed, twenty three strikeouts,
- 1:13:41Speaker 5: two walks. Yeah, those are some pretty good numbers here,
- 1:13:44Speaker 5: and he faced Milwaukee, Washington, the Cubs. I mean, he's
- 1:13:47Speaker 5: not getting like easy offenses here either. His numbers against
- 1:13:51Speaker 5: the Braves though not very good and one hundred nineteen
- 1:13:54Speaker 5: at bats, three forty five average, eight thirty one ops
- 1:13:58Speaker 5: twenty four to three.
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: I got walk ratio that's not good.
- 1:14:04Speaker 5: So I probably do like San Francisco here, but I
- 1:14:07Speaker 5: would do it first five because the Braves bullpen is
- 1:14:10Speaker 5: way better. But you're laying minus one thirty something with
- 1:14:13Speaker 5: San Francisco here if you do want them, if you
- 1:14:16Speaker 5: go first five, you're probably looking at an even bigger
- 1:14:19Speaker 5: price tag on them, maybe like minus won forty something.
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: That's still the way.
- 1:14:24Speaker 5: I would probably go with San Francisco first five money line,
- 1:14:27Speaker 5: but Atlanta's getting the money fifty three percent of tickets
- 1:14:31Speaker 5: eighty six percent of the cash on them. I don't
- 1:14:33Speaker 5: like that, Like Atlanta looks way too easy. It looks
- 1:14:36Speaker 5: way too easy to play the Braves, Like, how are
- 1:14:38Speaker 5: you getting the Braves as an underdog here against a
- 1:14:41Speaker 5: team of the way worse record, you know what I mean?
- 1:14:43Speaker 5: So that would concern me with the Braves, it looks
- 1:14:45Speaker 5: way too easy to play them. Plus Elder not good,
- 1:14:49Speaker 5: you know. I mean, the better way to play this
- 1:14:51Speaker 5: game is maybe to just play it over. Both starting
- 1:14:54Speaker 5: pitchers have bad matchup numbers. It's possible they both struggle here.
- 1:14:58Speaker 5: Sixty eight percent of tickets, ninety three percent of the
- 1:15:00Speaker 5: cash on the over, the totals at eight, it's kind
- 1:15:04Speaker 5: of a reasonable total here.
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: Seven and a half is out there too.
- 1:15:07Speaker 5: But the osmakers are telling you they think it's actually
- 1:15:09Speaker 5: gonna be a lower scoring game. But when you dig
- 1:15:11Speaker 5: into the matchup numbers, and Elder has just been a
- 1:15:14Speaker 5: horrific form recently, I don't know, Man, I mean, an
- 1:15:17Speaker 5: over could happen here, although again Web, I mean, I
- 1:15:21Speaker 5: don't really want to fade Web though, that's the thing.
- 1:15:23Speaker 5: He's been awesome recently. Why are you a fan of
- 1:15:27Speaker 5: the Giants pitchers? They've mostly been horrible except for Web,
- 1:15:32Speaker 5: I mean, their bullpen has been awful. Every one of
- 1:15:34Speaker 5: their starters besides Web has been pretty atrocious. I don't
- 1:15:38Speaker 5: know what there is to like about that. The A's
- 1:15:41Speaker 5: and Anaheim. I am not liking this at all.
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: I don't even want to talk about that shit.
- 1:15:46Speaker 5: Yesterday, it was looking like we're definitely gonna get that
- 1:15:49Speaker 5: one right when it's one nothing going into the fifth inning,
- 1:15:52Speaker 5: and then oh, you're gonna have ten runs put up
- 1:15:54Speaker 5: on the board in that one inning alone, or what no,
- 1:15:58Speaker 5: nine runs I guess whatever.
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: It was.
- 1:16:00Speaker 5: Nine out of the twelve runs in the game came
- 1:16:01Speaker 5: home literally in the fifth inning. So that's really fucking helpful.
- 1:16:06Speaker 5: If it was the sixth inning, we would have won.
- 1:16:08Speaker 5: Thanks a lot, guys. Yeah, so A's won the game
- 1:16:14Speaker 5: nine to three yesterday. I mean the A's are the
- 1:16:16Speaker 5: better team though, bullpen wise, neither bullpen is good. Anaheim
- 1:16:21Speaker 5: used three relief pitchers yesterday. The A's used three as well.
- 1:16:27Speaker 5: Neither bullpen is good. The A's are twenty third, the
- 1:16:30Speaker 5: Angels are twenty fifth. I would fade both bullpens here
- 1:16:34Speaker 5: or avoid them. A's are number four in offense, the
- 1:16:37Speaker 5: Angels are seventeenth. I mean, it does kind of seem
- 1:16:41Speaker 5: like it's a series that does make for more overs.
- 1:16:45Speaker 5: I don't think i'd want to do that here though.
- 1:16:46Speaker 5: I mean, Jack Perkins is pitching for the A's. He's
- 1:16:49Speaker 5: very unpredictable to me. He's not that young, but he's
- 1:16:54Speaker 5: kind of new to major league baseball because I think
- 1:16:56Speaker 5: the start to his career got delayed. He's got some talent,
- 1:16:59Speaker 5: he's got some strikeout ability, but he hasn't really been
- 1:17:01Speaker 5: that good. Six point two six ERA one point three
- 1:17:05Speaker 5: to seven whip does indicate that his ERA should be
- 1:17:08Speaker 5: better than six point two six, though his ERA is
- 1:17:11Speaker 5: basically the same home and away, but again, he also
- 1:17:14Speaker 5: has to pitch in that horrible as ballpark, so that
- 1:17:17Speaker 5: doesn't help him.
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: Really.
- 1:17:19Speaker 5: His overall numbers here, like I said, he has a
- 1:17:21Speaker 5: really good strikeout rate, his strike out rates really high,
- 1:17:24Speaker 5: his walk rate is only slightly high really, and his
- 1:17:28Speaker 5: hit rate is not too bad. So looking at, you know,
- 1:17:31Speaker 5: digging into these numbers here, he's not as bad as
- 1:17:33Speaker 5: his era makes it look. He was mostly pitching out
- 1:17:36Speaker 5: of the bullpen. He's been making kind of more full
- 1:17:39Speaker 5: starts recently, but hasn't really been that good. And he
- 1:17:43Speaker 5: literally just faced Anaheim. In his last outing, he gave
- 1:17:46Speaker 5: up four runs of five innings, but he did only
- 1:17:48Speaker 5: give up four hits and have eight strikeouts and two walks,
- 1:17:51Speaker 5: so that was better than it looked basically. And he's
- 1:17:55Speaker 5: faced some difficult offenses here this month, so I think
- 1:17:58Speaker 5: maybe he's a bit better. He's definitely better than his
- 1:18:01Speaker 5: era would suggest. His numbers against Anaheim are also actually good,
- 1:18:06Speaker 5: even though that last start didn't look that good. Thirty
- 1:18:09Speaker 5: three at bats, eleven strikeouts, two walks, one two average,
- 1:18:12Speaker 5: five sixty four ops. That's pretty good. And he's going
- 1:18:17Speaker 5: up against Reed Debt Merse, who you know. I am
- 1:18:19Speaker 5: a fan of Debt mers. I think he's good three
- 1:18:22Speaker 5: point nine three eray, his whip is quite good at
- 1:18:24Speaker 5: one point oh five. He's better on the road, but
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: he's still I don't know. I mean at home four
- 1:18:30Speaker 5: point five home e RA, which is where he is today.
- 1:18:33Speaker 5: That's not great. But digging into his numbers, these numbers
- 1:18:37Speaker 5: are not bad at all at home. His opponent batting
- 1:18:39Speaker 5: average at home is two hundred, so I think it's
- 1:18:42Speaker 5: a little bit misleading that his ERA is four.
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: Point five at home.
- 1:18:46Speaker 5: He did just face the A's on the road. He
- 1:18:49Speaker 5: went six innings, he gave up five runs on six hits.
- 1:18:52Speaker 5: He was two walk heavy, though. He gave up four
- 1:18:54Speaker 5: walks in that one, but he is not a guy
- 1:18:56Speaker 5: that walks that many guys, so I'm really gonna give
- 1:18:58Speaker 5: him a pass for that. He's been pretty good recently otherwise,
- 1:19:01Speaker 5: and his overall numbers this season low hit rate, low
- 1:19:04Speaker 5: walk rate, high strikeout rate, everything that you.
- 1:19:07Speaker 3: Like to see. I like det Murse. I think he's good.
- 1:19:11Speaker 5: His numbers against the A's are pretty good in sixty
- 1:19:13Speaker 5: six at bats to forty two average, six forty three
- 1:19:16Speaker 5: oh ps, although twenty to eight strike out walk ratio
- 1:19:19Speaker 5: is not that good, but the rest of those numbers
- 1:19:21Speaker 5: are good. This game, dude, I mean, I think it
- 1:19:27Speaker 5: kind of looks like a first five under again here.
- 1:19:29Speaker 5: I mean it should have been for us yesterday. I
- 1:19:32Speaker 5: don't want to do it in this one. I think
- 1:19:34Speaker 5: Perkins is definitely a big mystery here. But the money
- 1:19:38Speaker 5: is actually back in the under this time, in this game,
- 1:19:40Speaker 5: in the full game, at eight and a half, fifty
- 1:19:43Speaker 5: five percent of tickets on the over fifty five percent
- 1:19:45Speaker 5: of the cash on the under, I would obviously not
- 1:19:48Speaker 5: go full game. I would go first five under if
- 1:19:50Speaker 5: I was gonna go under here. There's no way you
- 1:19:53Speaker 5: can play a full game with these bullpens. And Anaheim
- 1:19:56Speaker 5: is getting the money and I don't disagree with that
- 1:19:58Speaker 5: of fifty to fifty on the two, I get seventy
- 1:20:00Speaker 5: five percent of the cash on Anaheim at about minus
- 1:20:02Speaker 5: one fourteen here, But again I would only do.
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: It first five.
- 1:20:06Speaker 5: I do not want these bullpens at all, So I
- 1:20:08Speaker 5: think anaheim first five money line is probably not too expensive,
- 1:20:12Speaker 5: but I think they do have the better starter there.
- 1:20:14Speaker 5: He's definitely more established, So that's probably Those are my
- 1:20:18Speaker 5: opinions on that game, all right, WNBA, and then I'll.
- 1:20:23Speaker 3: Get out of here.
- 1:20:24Speaker 5: We have three games here, Phoenix in Toronto on CBS
- 1:20:27Speaker 5: and Paramount Plus.
- 1:20:29Speaker 3: Toronto is coming.
- 1:20:30Speaker 5: Off a one twenty five to ninety seven win over
- 1:20:34Speaker 5: LA in a return home spot. How do you score
- 1:20:37Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty five points at a WNBA game.
- 1:20:40Speaker 3: I have absolutely no idea.
- 1:20:42Speaker 5: And when a team does that, you know I want
- 1:20:43Speaker 5: to look to fade them in their next game because
- 1:20:45Speaker 5: they're not gonna put up one hundred and twenty five points.
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: Ever.
- 1:20:48Speaker 5: Again, on the season, it's not going to happen. I mean,
- 1:20:51Speaker 5: that's just such a ridiculous outlier. Like I did not
- 1:20:54Speaker 5: even look at the box score, but to see that,
- 1:20:56Speaker 5: it's just insane. You know, there were some outliers in
- 1:20:58Speaker 5: that game Toronto. It was a return home spot too,
- 1:21:02Speaker 5: which is not even a good spot. I don't know
- 1:21:04Speaker 5: how they did that. They got Dallas next and then
- 1:21:07Speaker 5: Golden State. They might look ahead to that because Phoenix
- 1:21:09Speaker 5: has not been playing well, so they might overlook Phoenix
- 1:21:12Speaker 5: coming off of a ridiculous scoring effort, and then they
- 1:21:15Speaker 5: got bigger games on deck. Although it's after a break,
- 1:21:17Speaker 5: we have the the Cup break is happening after this,
- 1:21:21Speaker 5: so Tuesday is gonna be the Cup final when we
- 1:21:23Speaker 5: get like a weak break, which is I don't have
- 1:21:25Speaker 5: to handicap WNBA for a while. And after starting five
- 1:21:28Speaker 5: and oh in the WNBA and then taking two bullshit
- 1:21:31Speaker 5: losses in the WNBA, we're now six and five on
- 1:21:35Speaker 5: the show in WNBA, which really fucking pisses me off.
- 1:21:39Speaker 3: Two or three of those should have been wins.
- 1:21:41Speaker 5: It probably should have been a win last night, but
- 1:21:43Speaker 5: a couple of the other ones that Connecticut won back
- 1:21:46Speaker 5: you know, a month ago or whatever.
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: It was some unbelievable.
- 1:21:49Speaker 5: Bullshit this game though, if you couldn't tell, I'm gonna
- 1:21:53Speaker 5: lean to Phoenix here. But the problem is Phoenix is
- 1:21:57Speaker 5: coming off a good game here too. They just upset
- 1:21:59Speaker 5: Indiana on the road, so they could be in a
- 1:22:01Speaker 5: letdown spot here, not really a big game on deck.
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: I think Toronto's spot.
- 1:22:06Speaker 5: Is a little bit worse here. Were also looking at
- 1:22:09Speaker 5: this is a revenge game. I don't know how much
- 1:22:12Speaker 5: that really matters. But Phoenix did lose at home by
- 1:22:15Speaker 5: eight to Toronto in mid May, so they may have
- 1:22:18Speaker 5: some adjustments to make her I just think that will
- 1:22:20Speaker 5: make Toronto maybe overlook them a little bit more. But
- 1:22:23Speaker 5: I don't want I really don't want Phoenix off a
- 1:22:25Speaker 5: nice upset win at Indiana either though.
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: Plus you know that was that.
- 1:22:30Speaker 5: Game where Carter or whatever shoved Clark in the neck
- 1:22:35Speaker 5: because everybody just assaults Clark on the court.
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: So she's suspended. She's not playing in this game.
- 1:22:40Speaker 5: I think her name is Carter right, whatever her name is,
- 1:22:42Speaker 5: I don't know how good she even is, but she
- 1:22:44Speaker 5: suspended in this game. How will Phoenix react to that?
- 1:22:47Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:22:48Speaker 5: I don't treat it the same way as the injured
- 1:22:49Speaker 5: player theory spot though, where like a team is gonna
- 1:22:53Speaker 5: step up their game after they have an injured player.
- 1:22:56Speaker 5: I don't think that's gonna be the case with Phoenix,
- 1:22:58Speaker 5: but maybe you do get a little bit extra line
- 1:23:00Speaker 5: value here. I don't even know how good she is.
- 1:23:02Speaker 5: I mean, she's obviously not a good person. The money's
- 1:23:05Speaker 5: coming in on Toronto here though, they're up to six
- 1:23:08Speaker 5: and a half or five and a half here. I
- 1:23:10Speaker 5: think some of that is because of the suspension though,
- 1:23:12Speaker 5: you know, like that's the only reason why the line
- 1:23:15Speaker 5: would have moved up on Toronto, like that, sixty tickets
- 1:23:18Speaker 5: ninety percent of the cash on Toronto. But no, I
- 1:23:20Speaker 5: would lean to taking the points with Phoenix slightly.
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: But I don't like either team in that game.
- 1:23:27Speaker 5: LA at Indiana also on CBS Paramount Plus.
- 1:23:30Speaker 3: That first game is in the afternoon. This game is
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: at night.
- 1:23:33Speaker 5: Indiana coming off that bad loss at home and Caitlyn
- 1:23:36Speaker 5: Clark also got hurt.
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: A lot of.
- 1:23:41Speaker 5: WNBA personalities are saying that WNBA needs to do a
- 1:23:43Speaker 5: better job at protecting their players in reference to Clark.
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: But she's actually injured now with a.
- 1:23:49Speaker 5: Back injury, so we do have an injured player at
- 1:23:51Speaker 5: theory spot with Indiana here and they're staying at home
- 1:23:53Speaker 5: and they're coming off a loss as a favorite, and
- 1:23:56Speaker 5: you can kind of explain what happened there because Indiana
- 1:23:59Speaker 5: had beaten Phoenix the game before that, so it was
- 1:24:02Speaker 5: a zigzag spot. Basically, Phoenix could make the adjustments there.
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: I think I gave out a lean on Phoenix there.
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: So this looks like a positive spot for Indiana here
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: because they're coming up a loss as a favorite at home,
- 1:24:14Speaker 5: and usually when that happens, the team will bounce back,
- 1:24:16Speaker 5: especially when you can explain it.
- 1:24:18Speaker 3: It's an injured player theory spots.
- 1:24:20Speaker 5: You're gonna get value probably on Indiana here, right, because
- 1:24:24Speaker 5: you know how that works. When your star player goes down,
- 1:24:26Speaker 5: the line over adjusts. Yeah, sorry, Alyssa Thomas, whatever the fuck.
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: Her name is.
- 1:24:33Speaker 5: The line will over adjust to a star player like
- 1:24:36Speaker 5: Caitlin Clark being out, so you can get more value
- 1:24:39Speaker 5: on that team, and that team will usually step up
- 1:24:41Speaker 5: their game. You know, I think you're gonna see Indiana
- 1:24:43Speaker 5: come out with effort right because they want to kind
- 1:24:45Speaker 5: of play for Clark. You would have to imagine after
- 1:24:47Speaker 5: what happened during the last game, and plus her being injured,
- 1:24:50Speaker 5: they know they have to play hard to accommodate for that.
- 1:24:54Speaker 5: LA is still without their best player Plumb. She's been
- 1:24:57Speaker 5: out for a while, so she's not playing here. However,
- 1:25:00Speaker 5: for LA did just come off that embarrassing loss where
- 1:25:03Speaker 5: Maybury on Toronto set a WNBA record or tied.
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: It with fifty three points in that game.
- 1:25:11Speaker 5: That was an embarrassing loss for LA there, and you
- 1:25:14Speaker 5: can kind of explain that because LA had just pulled
- 1:25:17Speaker 5: off a nice win over New York, a win from
- 1:25:19Speaker 5: me on.
- 1:25:19Speaker 3: The show, by the way.
- 1:25:21Speaker 5: LA had just pulled off that win over New York,
- 1:25:24Speaker 5: So I think LA was in a bad spot after that,
- 1:25:27Speaker 5: probably kind of a sandwich spot to looking ahead to this.
- 1:25:30Speaker 5: So I don't really want to lay the points with
- 1:25:32Speaker 5: Indiana here just because LA is coming off an embarrassing loss.
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: However, LA is not.
- 1:25:38Speaker 5: A good defensive team, man, They're not. And with their
- 1:25:42Speaker 5: best score Plumb on the bench here or sorry she's injured,
- 1:25:47Speaker 5: you know, LA might not be able to keep up
- 1:25:50Speaker 5: with Indiana's amount of scoring here. Indiana is still gonna
- 1:25:53Speaker 5: score without Caitlin Clark, you know, against this LA defense.
- 1:25:57Speaker 5: So I still like Indiana here. The money does agree
- 1:26:00Speaker 5: with that. When at minus six and a half fifty
- 1:26:02Speaker 5: to fifty on the tickets sixty five percent of the
- 1:26:04Speaker 5: cash on Indiana, I would lean to Indiana there, and
- 1:26:07Speaker 5: then we have Atlanta in Seattle. Atlanta has having a
- 1:26:10Speaker 5: plan a back to back like you don't usually see
- 1:26:13Speaker 5: this in the WNBA. Man, Atlanta's playing a back to
- 1:26:16Speaker 5: back in a third game in four days, though the
- 1:26:18Speaker 5: first two were both in the same city at Golden State.
- 1:26:22Speaker 5: But I don't know why the league is doing this, dude,
- 1:26:24Speaker 5: And I'm still pissed. They should have won that game
- 1:26:26Speaker 5: last night. I'm fucking pissed about that. Now they're going
- 1:26:30Speaker 5: to Seattle. They might not pay attention to Seattle, dude.
- 1:26:33Speaker 5: I know Atlanta's lost two games in a row, but
- 1:26:35Speaker 5: that was a tough game last night against Golden State,
- 1:26:37Speaker 5: and now no turnaround time. They have to play a
- 1:26:40Speaker 5: third game in four days. They're playing back to back,
- 1:26:43Speaker 5: playing a team that sucks in Seattle, and then they
- 1:26:45Speaker 5: have the break after this. I don't see them paying
- 1:26:48Speaker 5: attention to Seattle here.
- 1:26:49Speaker 3: Man. Seattle's been playing a little bit better recently.
- 1:26:53Speaker 5: I think they've won two games. I know they won
- 1:26:55Speaker 5: one game recently. They almost beat Dallas the game before that.
- 1:26:59Speaker 5: But my problem was, see, is they just pulled off
- 1:27:01Speaker 5: a huge upset against New York, so and I think
- 1:27:04Speaker 5: they probably caught New York in a decent spot too,
- 1:27:06Speaker 5: because New York's been playing all these bigger games surrounding
- 1:27:09Speaker 5: that game.
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: I'm gonna lean to.
- 1:27:12Speaker 5: Seattle here just because they are staying at home and
- 1:27:14Speaker 5: they do have rest, and they probably will show up
- 1:27:16Speaker 5: still for a game against Atlanta.
- 1:27:18Speaker 3: But I don't love that They're coming off.
- 1:27:20Speaker 5: An upset of New York and they only have one
- 1:27:22Speaker 5: day off between the tool though they hadn't played since
- 1:27:25Speaker 5: Monday prior to that, so they are still the more
- 1:27:27Speaker 5: rested team here, but they're coming off two big performances.
- 1:27:31Speaker 5: One good thing though, is they ended along losing streak,
- 1:27:34Speaker 5: so they had lost whatever that was, they'd lost eleven
- 1:27:38Speaker 5: games in a row, and they finally ended that losing streak.
- 1:27:41Speaker 5: So a lot of times when a team ends a
- 1:27:42Speaker 5: losing streak, they will carry that momentum forward and play better.
- 1:27:46Speaker 5: So I lean Seattle here. The money does agree with that.
- 1:27:49Speaker 5: Seventy ticket seventy nine percent of the cash on Seattle,
- 1:27:53Speaker 5: I should probably be making some of these plays, because
- 1:27:55Speaker 5: my leans in the WNBA have been probably better than
- 1:27:59Speaker 5: my plays, even though started off five and oh, trying
- 1:28:02Speaker 5: to be selective here, man, I think the spots that
- 1:28:04Speaker 5: I'm picking are good.
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: I know what I'm doing.
- 1:28:07Speaker 5: Man, Atlanta's laying seven and a half here now, so
- 1:28:10Speaker 5: the line's gone down from the opener. So the money
- 1:28:13Speaker 5: definitely is playing Seattle here. It looks like you can
- 1:28:15Speaker 5: get eight on this. That's still what I would do.
- 1:28:17Speaker 5: I would take the eight points with Seattle, all right,
- 1:28:21Speaker 5: and then we have World Cup here. I think if
- 1:28:25Speaker 5: I was gonna I'm not gonna play any World Cup today.
- 1:28:27Speaker 5: I think if I was gonna play any World Cup,
- 1:28:28Speaker 5: I'm skipping two days in a row. If I was
- 1:28:30Speaker 5: gonna play any World Cup game today, I was looking
- 1:28:33Speaker 5: at playing Croatia here in the first.
- 1:28:35Speaker 3: Game up, which is at five pm.
- 1:28:37Speaker 5: All these games are on the Fox networks, you know
- 1:28:39Speaker 5: how to find if Fox, Fox Sports won, Fox won
- 1:28:42Speaker 5: Online whatever, and then the Spanish channels Telemundo and Universe
- 1:28:47Speaker 5: if you want to hear go.
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: This game is in Philadelphia.
- 1:28:54Speaker 5: I believe Ghana is coming in from playing in Foxborough.
- 1:28:58Speaker 5: I believe against Englandtia is coming in from Toronto. I
- 1:29:03Speaker 5: want to say I forget, but the reason why I
- 1:29:07Speaker 5: was leaning Croatia here is because Croatia is coming off
- 1:29:09Speaker 5: a bad performance. They only beat Panama one to nothing.
- 1:29:13Speaker 5: They at least got the win there. Croatia definitely needed
- 1:29:16Speaker 5: the win there to get the three points.
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: Panamized not very good.
- 1:29:20Speaker 5: Croatia did outplay them more than it looks on the
- 1:29:23Speaker 5: scoreboard though, if you dig into that matchup, like Croatia
- 1:29:26Speaker 5: should have won that game more easily. So they're coming
- 1:29:28Speaker 5: off a very unimpressive outing there, whereas Ghana is coming
- 1:29:31Speaker 5: off a very impressive showing where they had a.
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: Draw nil nil draw with England.
- 1:29:38Speaker 5: So Ghana's gonna get more credit for that, in my opinion,
- 1:29:41Speaker 5: coming off that huge performance against England where they were
- 1:29:44Speaker 5: a huge underdog.
- 1:29:45Speaker 3: I mean the England was like minus five hundred there.
- 1:29:49Speaker 5: So for those reasons, just based on what the last
- 1:29:51Speaker 5: matchup looked like, I lean Croatia here. Croatia does have
- 1:29:55Speaker 5: more World Cup experience as well, so you're looking at
- 1:29:58Speaker 5: the more experienced team in a game that does somewhat
- 1:30:01Speaker 5: matter here.
- 1:30:02Speaker 3: If you look at what's going on in this.
- 1:30:05Speaker 5: In this group group l here, Croatia needs the game
- 1:30:08Speaker 5: more like Ghana. They could pick up no points here
- 1:30:11Speaker 5: and still advance, I think, because they have four points already,
- 1:30:15Speaker 5: So I think if Ghana winds up in third place,
- 1:30:17Speaker 5: they're still gonna advance here.
- 1:30:20Speaker 3: So Croatia they need it to.
- 1:30:22Speaker 5: Croatia is sitting in a negative goal differential with three points.
- 1:30:26Speaker 5: I don't think that's gonna be enough. Croatian needs to
- 1:30:28Speaker 5: get at least a point out of this. However, the
- 1:30:33Speaker 5: problem with it, one of the reasons why I'm gonna
- 1:30:35Speaker 5: like kind of dial it back a little bit on
- 1:30:37Speaker 5: Croatia here is these teams could play to a draw
- 1:30:40Speaker 5: and they'd both advance, you know what I mean. Like
- 1:30:43Speaker 5: if you're gonna get Croatia with four points Ghana with five,
- 1:30:47Speaker 5: If that happens, they're both gonna advance because Ghana's gonna
- 1:30:49Speaker 5: wind up in second place in the group. Croatia if
- 1:30:52Speaker 5: they get four points, I think they're gonna advance, uh
- 1:30:55Speaker 5: from the third place spot. So these teams could possibly
- 1:30:59Speaker 5: play this a little bit closer to the vest here.
- 1:31:01Speaker 5: So that worries me a little bit, But I like
- 1:31:03Speaker 5: Croatia and I almost put it on my card there. However,
- 1:31:06Speaker 5: I will tell you that I looked at some of
- 1:31:08Speaker 5: the market numbers and the market is not agreeing with it.
- 1:31:11Speaker 5: The market likes Ghana in that game, so I don't
- 1:31:14Speaker 5: know about that. But based on the previous matchup, based
- 1:31:18Speaker 5: on the previous games those teams played there and by
- 1:31:20Speaker 5: the way, England did outplay Ghana and in that nil
- 1:31:23Speaker 5: nil draw, England was clearly the better team statistically in
- 1:31:27Speaker 5: that one. So based off of all that, plus the
- 1:31:30Speaker 5: fact that Croatia is a point behind and they need
- 1:31:32Speaker 5: this more, I'm leaning Croatia there. But again there is
- 1:31:36Speaker 5: the concern that if you'd play Croatia on the money line,
- 1:31:39Speaker 5: on the three way line and then a draw would
- 1:31:41Speaker 5: lose your bet, And there is a decent chance of
- 1:31:44Speaker 5: a draw in that match in my opinion. Panama and England.
- 1:31:49Speaker 5: I mean, this game is in East ruther for New Jersey.
- 1:31:51Speaker 5: England is minus six hundred. England should win this one.
- 1:31:55Speaker 5: Panama is not good. I believe Panama has not even
- 1:31:58Speaker 5: scored a goal yet, although they might score here because
- 1:32:02Speaker 5: the other teams that hadn't scored a goal into their
- 1:32:04Speaker 5: last match were Haiti, Turkey and I forget there was
- 1:32:09Speaker 5: one other one and they all three of them scored
- 1:32:12Speaker 5: a goal in their last match, so Panama might finally
- 1:32:15Speaker 5: do it.
- 1:32:16Speaker 3: I think Panama will.
- 1:32:17Speaker 5: Actually be motivated just for that reason, because they haven't
- 1:32:20Speaker 5: scored a goal yet in the World Cup, so I
- 1:32:22Speaker 5: think they're gonna show up just to try to score
- 1:32:24Speaker 5: a goal here. And plus it's they're eliminated, I'm pretty sure,
- 1:32:27Speaker 5: so it's their last stand here, basically their last game
- 1:32:31Speaker 5: in the World Cup. They get to play England, so
- 1:32:33Speaker 5: I think Panama will show up. Although Panama, I think
- 1:32:37Speaker 5: they're coming from Toronto right against Croatia, so Panama a
- 1:32:41Speaker 5: little bit lesser of a travel a little bit worse
- 1:32:44Speaker 5: of a travel spot. They're going to East Rutherford, New
- 1:32:47Speaker 5: Jersey here for this one where the New York football
- 1:32:50Speaker 5: teams play. England is coming in from Foxboro, so it's
- 1:32:53Speaker 5: a little bit easier for them.
- 1:32:57Speaker 3: England.
- 1:32:59Speaker 5: Yeah, they should win, and the totals high. I mean,
- 1:33:02Speaker 5: I don't think i'd want to go with England over
- 1:33:03Speaker 5: their team total though, because I don't know if they
- 1:33:05Speaker 5: really need gold differential here.
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: Let me say England, Well, I don't know, maybe they do.
- 1:33:11Speaker 5: I mean they're only plus two here there is a
- 1:33:13Speaker 5: chance they went up tied with Ghana. I mean, they
- 1:33:16Speaker 5: probably they want to make sure they advance England. I mean,
- 1:33:18Speaker 5: they're going to advance even if they lose this game,
- 1:33:21Speaker 5: which isn't gonna happen. They'd still advance with four points though,
- 1:33:26Speaker 5: So I don't know about England, you know, their goal
- 1:33:29Speaker 5: differential here or you know, I probably would not really
- 1:33:32Speaker 5: prefer England over their team total, though I was right
- 1:33:35Speaker 5: about Belgium over their team total yesterday. And my other
- 1:33:39Speaker 5: play that I liked yesterday was the draw no bet
- 1:33:41Speaker 5: on Saudi Arabia, So that would have been a push
- 1:33:44Speaker 5: because the draw happened, so that would have been a
- 1:33:48Speaker 5: no bet, as the name of that bet suggests. Yeah,
- 1:33:52Speaker 5: I mean England has some motivation here, but not a ton,
- 1:33:55Speaker 5: like they really just need to win this game. And
- 1:33:57Speaker 5: England they're gonna deepfense. I don't know their offense to me,
- 1:34:01Speaker 5: they seem a little bit questionable, dude, and just their
- 1:34:03Speaker 5: track record in the World Cup is not really that good.
- 1:34:06Speaker 3: So I don't know.
- 1:34:07Speaker 5: They should win obviously against an inferior opponent, but I'm
- 1:34:10Speaker 5: not gonna do anything with that game. I mean, yeah,
- 1:34:14Speaker 5: I don't think I have too much else to say.
- 1:34:16Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I don't think there's a whole lot
- 1:34:18Speaker 5: else there. Colombia and Portugal in a different group here,
- 1:34:22Speaker 5: which is in Miami.
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: I think.
- 1:34:25Speaker 5: One of these teams, Colombia, I think is coming up
- 1:34:27Speaker 5: from Mexico. I want to say for this in Portugal,
- 1:34:30Speaker 5: I think played in either Miami or Atlanta in their
- 1:34:33Speaker 5: last game, So I think the sched the travel spot
- 1:34:36Speaker 5: is a little better for Portugal. Portugal is actually behind
- 1:34:39Speaker 5: Colombia here in Group K. Portugal was supposed to win
- 1:34:43Speaker 5: this group, but Colombia is not bad. And Colombia's won
- 1:34:46Speaker 5: both of their matches so far, which, yeah, I.
- 1:34:49Speaker 3: Believe they beat.
- 1:34:51Speaker 5: Yeah, they beat these two lesser teams though, I mean,
- 1:34:54Speaker 5: it's not that surprising, right They beat Congo Dominican Republic
- 1:34:57Speaker 5: of Congo, a democratic Republican Dominica Public of Congo.
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: Yes, that's my Florida, Illinois.
- 1:35:04Speaker 5: No Democratic Republic of Congo, and who's Bekistan. Whereas Portugal
- 1:35:09Speaker 5: had that weird draw against Democratic Republic of Congo. People
- 1:35:14Speaker 5: might knock Portugal a little bit for that, but Portugal
- 1:35:16Speaker 5: is still the better team here if we're looking at
- 1:35:18Speaker 5: the standings. Both teams are going to advance anyway, you know,
- 1:35:23Speaker 5: I mean, they're gonna be the top two teams in
- 1:35:25Speaker 5: this group, although Portugal, yeah, Portugal, I mean, even if
- 1:35:28Speaker 5: they wind up in a tie, because Congo dr could
- 1:35:31Speaker 5: win today and Portugal could potentially lose to Columbia here,
- 1:35:35Speaker 5: and if that happens, Portugal is still likely to have
- 1:35:38Speaker 5: the tiebreaker over Congo because they had a draw, So
- 1:35:41Speaker 5: then the tiebreaker would then go to gold differential and
- 1:35:44Speaker 5: Portugal will still have the goal differential over Congo. So basically,
- 1:35:49Speaker 5: these teams have already secured the top two spots here.
- 1:35:52Speaker 5: So that's kind of the issue that I have with Portugal.
- 1:35:54Speaker 5: They're minus one oh five on the three way line.
- 1:35:57Speaker 5: But these teams might still kind of be okay with
- 1:35:59Speaker 5: the awe here, you know what I mean, because if
- 1:36:01Speaker 5: these teams both draw, they're both going to advance if
- 1:36:04Speaker 5: they both draw, so they don't really need a whole
- 1:36:07Speaker 5: lot out of this game. So we'll see what happens here.
- 1:36:11Speaker 5: But Portugal, I know, was kind of like making fun
- 1:36:13Speaker 5: of Norway. Norway rested their players yesterday, by the way,
- 1:36:16Speaker 5: I forgot to realize that that was a possibility Norway
- 1:36:21Speaker 5: basically decided let's rest our players for health reasons. I
- 1:36:24Speaker 5: don't know if it was a good idea though, because
- 1:36:26Speaker 5: Norway because of that, they wound up getting Ivory Coast
- 1:36:31Speaker 5: where they could have gotten Sweden instead.
- 1:36:34Speaker 3: I've if I were them, i'd I think I'd rather.
- 1:36:36Speaker 5: Play Sweden, even though Sweden's kind of a rival of theirs.
- 1:36:39Speaker 5: I think Ivory Coast is better than Sweden, So I
- 1:36:43Speaker 5: don't like what well. I don't love that, but I understand,
- 1:36:46Speaker 5: like I think the people that are bashing Norway for
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: doing that, they just don't get it, man, Like it
- 1:36:51Speaker 5: makes sense for Norway to just keep their guys rested,
- 1:36:53Speaker 5: you know what I mean. They're trying to win the
- 1:36:55Speaker 5: World Cup here, man, you know what I mean, or
- 1:36:57Speaker 5: make a run here anyway. I don't know if Portugal
- 1:37:00Speaker 5: is going to do that or not. But Ronaldo's kind
- 1:37:02Speaker 5: of had some issues here anyway for Portugal, so I
- 1:37:06Speaker 5: don't know, man, I don't really like how Portugal's looked
- 1:37:09Speaker 5: so far in this tournament, so I don't know. Columbia
- 1:37:13Speaker 5: probably will actually have some motivation there in that game,
- 1:37:15Speaker 5: just because they're playing against Portugal, so I think they
- 1:37:17Speaker 5: might just kind of show up for that reason, although
- 1:37:20Speaker 5: they have a little bit less motivation just because they've
- 1:37:22Speaker 5: already you know, they're close to winning the group here,
- 1:37:26Speaker 5: but maybe they want to prevent Portugal from winning the group.
- 1:37:31Speaker 3: Who knows. I don't know how that game is going
- 1:37:32Speaker 3: to play out.
- 1:37:33Speaker 5: Dominican Republic or I keep saying Dominican Republic DR Congo,
- 1:37:38Speaker 5: Democratic Republic of Congo is playing Who's Bekistan?
- 1:37:41Speaker 3: Who is one of the worst teams in this entire thing.
- 1:37:45Speaker 5: They're not good, which is why Congo is minus one
- 1:37:48Speaker 5: fifty here on the three way line in Atlanta. I
- 1:37:52Speaker 5: forget where these teams are coming from. I don't remember
- 1:37:55Speaker 5: it was Bekistan. I think was in either Atlanta they're
- 1:37:58Speaker 5: staying there, were coming from Miami. I forget Congo. I
- 1:38:03Speaker 5: think just played in Mexico though, so I think they're
- 1:38:05Speaker 5: coming up from that. So the travel spot's a little
- 1:38:08Speaker 5: bit worse for Congo here Uzbekistan is already eliminated from
- 1:38:12Speaker 5: the World Cup. So they might show up with some
- 1:38:15Speaker 5: effort just you know, because they know it's their last
- 1:38:18Speaker 5: go around here in the World Cup, or you know,
- 1:38:20Speaker 5: I talk about it. They could be in a dream
- 1:38:22Speaker 5: crush or spot you never really know. But they weren't
- 1:38:25Speaker 5: really expected to do anything in the World Cups, so
- 1:38:28Speaker 5: Congo wasn't expected to advance either, and they need points.
- 1:38:32Speaker 5: Congo needs points to advance it they're gonna need to win.
- 1:38:35Speaker 5: A draw is not gonna be enough, So Congo does
- 1:38:38Speaker 5: need to win here. They could do it. I mean,
- 1:38:42Speaker 5: this is gonna be their weakest opponent they've faced in
- 1:38:45Speaker 5: the World Cup so far. But they're also not a
- 1:38:47Speaker 5: good team, and I feel like the public is gonna
- 1:38:49Speaker 5: be kind of on them because Congo is one of
- 1:38:51Speaker 5: those kind of hype teams because they had that draw
- 1:38:54Speaker 5: against Portugal.
- 1:38:55Speaker 3: You know, sorry, yeah it was it again. I think
- 1:38:58Speaker 3: it was against Portugal.
- 1:38:59Speaker 5: Yeah, so Congo's got kind of that, you know, they're
- 1:39:02Speaker 5: almost like that.
- 1:39:03Speaker 3: They're almost like a.
- 1:39:04Speaker 5: Cape Verde where everybody's like hyping this team up because
- 1:39:08Speaker 5: they weren't expected to do that, you know, So I
- 1:39:10Speaker 5: worry about it. I mean, Congo probably does win here
- 1:39:13Speaker 5: at minus one fifty, but I would not really want
- 1:39:16Speaker 5: to bank on it. Algeria and Austria this is really interesting,
- 1:39:21Speaker 5: where Austria's plus two to ten and Algeria on the
- 1:39:24Speaker 5: three way line is probably also right around plus two
- 1:39:26Speaker 5: ten or maybe plus three hundred something.
- 1:39:29Speaker 3: The weird thing about this one is the.
- 1:39:31Speaker 5: Draw is like plus two thirty here, So the odds
- 1:39:34Speaker 5: makers are kind of telling you they think this is
- 1:39:35Speaker 5: gonna wind up been a draw, and I think it
- 1:39:38Speaker 5: might happen. I think you might want to take a
- 1:39:41Speaker 5: shot at the draw here. And the odds makers look
- 1:39:43Speaker 5: at the total in this game one and a half.
- 1:39:46Speaker 5: So the odds makers are telling you they think this
- 1:39:48Speaker 5: is going to be a low scoring game, and I
- 1:39:51Speaker 5: think it might be. I think these teams might just
- 1:39:53Speaker 5: kind of go through the motions here, and I'm gonna
- 1:39:55Speaker 5: explain why that is in a second. Austria just lost
- 1:39:59Speaker 5: to Argentina. Excuse me, they're playing Algeria here. Too many
- 1:40:04Speaker 5: A nations here, But both Austria and Algeria both already
- 1:40:09Speaker 5: got a win against Jordan in this group, so they
- 1:40:12Speaker 5: both already have three points here. So you'll see what
- 1:40:16Speaker 5: I'm getting at in a minute.
- 1:40:19Speaker 3: Now.
- 1:40:19Speaker 5: These teams, one of them is coming in from California
- 1:40:22Speaker 5: and one of them is coming from Texas, and I
- 1:40:25Speaker 5: forget which is which. The team coming from Texas does
- 1:40:28Speaker 5: have a little bit of a travel edge that would
- 1:40:31Speaker 5: be Austria. Algeria's coming from northern California here Austria is
- 1:40:37Speaker 5: coming from Texas. Now, the reason why I think this
- 1:40:41Speaker 5: is this is going to potentially be a draw is
- 1:40:44Speaker 5: look at how this sets up. Argentina has already won
- 1:40:47Speaker 5: this group. Argentina already won against Austria and Algeria. So
- 1:40:52Speaker 5: Argentina already has the tie breaker against Austria and Algeria here.
- 1:40:56Speaker 5: Plus they already have the goal differential too, So are
- 1:41:00Speaker 5: Argentina has already one group j Austria and Algeria. They're
- 1:41:05Speaker 5: sitting at three points here. They're probably gonna both advance
- 1:41:09Speaker 5: if they draw here because they'll both have four points.
- 1:41:12Speaker 5: One of them will be the number two team in
- 1:41:14Speaker 5: the group.
- 1:41:14Speaker 3: Still they'll advance.
- 1:41:15Speaker 5: The other one that winds up in numbering in the
- 1:41:17Speaker 5: number three spot will have four points and we'll probably
- 1:41:20Speaker 5: advance as well.
- 1:41:21Speaker 3: So I think a draw is pretty likely here, man.
- 1:41:26Speaker 5: So I think you you could take the shot and
- 1:41:28Speaker 5: play the draw at like plus two thirty here. That
- 1:41:32Speaker 5: might be the way that you want to do it here. Yeah,
- 1:41:36Speaker 5: I don't, I don't know, man, I don't know if
- 1:41:37Speaker 5: there's maybe a better way to look at that. But yeah,
- 1:41:39Speaker 5: I mean, I think maybe taking the shot on the
- 1:41:41Speaker 5: draw makes sense because both teams, you know what I mean,
- 1:41:45Speaker 5: Like it may be like a gentlemanly agreement here where
- 1:41:48Speaker 5: both teams like have an incentive to play to a
- 1:41:50Speaker 5: draw here. So you know, I don't think they care
- 1:41:54Speaker 5: that much whether they're number two or number three. So
- 1:41:56Speaker 5: and then Argentina is a huge favorite against Jordan. Argentina
- 1:42:00Speaker 5: is I believe coming in front. No, They're staying in Texas,
- 1:42:05Speaker 5: I think, and Jordan's coming in from California.
- 1:42:08Speaker 3: Argentina's minus six fifty.
- 1:42:10Speaker 5: But I just told you Argentina doesn't need to win here,
- 1:42:12Speaker 5: so you know, I mean, they're just way better than Jordan.
- 1:42:16Speaker 3: Jordan's eliminated. But maybe Jordan.
- 1:42:18Speaker 5: Will get up for this game just because they want
- 1:42:20Speaker 5: to try to do something here against a good team
- 1:42:22Speaker 5: like Argentina. It's their last World Cup game here. Maybe
- 1:42:26Speaker 5: Jordan wants to try to show something here. They're nowhere
- 1:42:30Speaker 5: near as good. But Argentina hasn't been that impressive so far.
- 1:42:34Speaker 5: They've been impressive on defense, but you know, they haven't
- 1:42:37Speaker 5: scored much. So I think maybe what you can do
- 1:42:40Speaker 5: here is look at the spread on Jordan here, like
- 1:42:43Speaker 5: you could take plus two and a half goals with Jordan.
- 1:42:46Speaker 5: You have to lay about minus one fifty for that though,
- 1:42:50Speaker 5: but you can play Jordan to come within two goals here. Again,
- 1:42:53Speaker 5: Argentina doesn't need this game, so they don't need to
- 1:42:56Speaker 5: win by margin or anything like that. So maybe Jordan
- 1:42:59Speaker 5: plus two and a half goals that minus won fifty
- 1:43:01Speaker 5: is maybe the way to play this one here. Don't
- 1:43:05Speaker 5: have a whole lot else to say about that, though, Yeah,
- 1:43:09Speaker 5: I think that's gonna do it. Man, Argentina did just
- 1:43:11Speaker 5: come off and escape though they were about to have
- 1:43:14Speaker 5: a well not really an escape, but they.
- 1:43:16Speaker 3: Were about to win one nothing over.
- 1:43:18Speaker 5: Austria, and I thought Austria was gonna come within that
- 1:43:20Speaker 5: one and a half spread against Argentina. Argentina's second goal
- 1:43:24Speaker 5: came in stoppage time there, and I think it was
- 1:43:27Speaker 5: messy yet again.
- 1:43:30Speaker 3: Go check out the messy shirt ticking.
- 1:43:32Speaker 5: Statue, by the way, which is ridiculous, the new statue
- 1:43:35Speaker 5: of him. That's one of the worst things I've ever seen. Like,
- 1:43:38Speaker 5: I don't mind messy, but that statue is ridiculous. Anyway,
- 1:43:42Speaker 5: that's gonna do it. We're gonna the two players today.
- 1:43:47Speaker 5: We're on first five inning, first five inning, Cincinnati Reds
- 1:43:51Speaker 5: and Arizona Diamondbacks plus one and a half on the
- 1:43:54Speaker 5: run line for part of the bet and the other
- 1:43:56Speaker 5: part of the bet on the plus one thirty five
- 1:43:58Speaker 5: money line, or if you just want to play Arizona
- 1:44:01Speaker 5: money line, you could do it, but I'm gonna play
- 1:44:03Speaker 5: it this way, and I'm gonna track it as a push.
- 1:44:04Speaker 5: If they lose by one, it's that play in the
- 1:44:07Speaker 5: Reds money line in the first five Those are my
- 1:44:10Speaker 5: only plays today. We have to get back on track.
- 1:44:13Speaker 5: We have to go too and oh here to have
- 1:44:14Speaker 5: a winning day. I'm trying. That's gonna do it. Learn
