- 0:17Speaker 1: You gotta slip in your palm and a hole.
- 0:20Speaker 2: In your chicks. Black coffee on the felt.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Man, you look like a mince three teen Parlette turned
- 0:28Speaker 1: the dust in your head.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Now you stare at the chips like.
- 0:32Speaker 1: They made you this man.
- 0:34Speaker 2: But don't you go quiet?
- 0:36Speaker 1: Don't you fade from the floor. Your name steal mean
- 0:39Speaker 1: something on somebody for show? Put the glass down, baby,
- 0:45Speaker 1: look at me now.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on nothing nice, no, hold.
- 0:59Speaker 1: On, hold on.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Me that.
- 1:10Speaker 1: But it don't get the crown. Hold on, hold on.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Stay with me. Now, what's up? Everybody? It's towed back
- 1:30Speaker 2: with you with Toadstool Sports. It is Wednesday, July twenty second. Uh.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Not happy about the way the show went yesterday. Either
- 1:39Speaker 2: one else is new one and one on the show.
- 1:41Speaker 2: It was almost to break even because the bigger favorite
- 1:45Speaker 2: of the two one, which was the Reds in the
- 1:47Speaker 2: first five, they won in the full game as well. Detroit.
- 1:51Speaker 2: I don't even know what to tell you, man, if
- 1:53Speaker 2: you told me that fromber Valdez, who dominates the Cubs
- 1:56Speaker 2: historically in at least a sample size, that he was
- 2:01Speaker 2: gonna give up six runs in the first inning and
- 2:04Speaker 2: not even make it out of the first inning and
- 2:05Speaker 2: that David Peterson was gonna go like six scoreless. I
- 2:09Speaker 2: would have told you you're out of your mind. There's
- 2:11Speaker 2: no possible way that's gonna happen. And that is exactly
- 2:15Speaker 2: what happened, Like, how can you even predict that? And
- 2:17Speaker 2: then of course the other games that I liked, I
- 2:19Speaker 2: left off my card Mets first five one, Anaheim first
- 2:24Speaker 2: five one. There's there's nothing I could do about this.
- 2:28Speaker 2: I don't even know what to tell you. Never listen
- 2:30Speaker 2: to me, seriously, just turn off the show. Do not
- 2:33Speaker 2: listen to me in July and August. Football needs to
- 2:37Speaker 2: come back right now, because I'm so fucking sick of this.
- 2:40Speaker 2: I'm so sick of trying to figure out baseball like
- 2:45Speaker 2: this has been such a bad run in baseball. It's
- 2:47Speaker 2: basically erased all the good from earlier in the season.
- 2:49Speaker 2: I can't do this. I can't do it. I'm gonna
- 2:52Speaker 2: give you one baseball play today and it's probably gonna lose.
- 2:55Speaker 2: And I don't like the board. Even though they're extra
- 2:58Speaker 2: games today because of headers and there's a big WNBA slate,
- 3:04Speaker 2: I'm gonna give out one w NBA play. I don't
- 3:06Speaker 2: know how much. I really love it, but I think
- 3:08Speaker 2: it's good enough. Garrett, what's up? What's good? Not me?
- 3:14Speaker 2: I can tell you that baseball. Let's just Drew. Let's
- 3:19Speaker 2: get right into this man. It's also getaway day for
- 3:22Speaker 2: a lot of teams. Tomorrow is gonna be easier to handicap.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Only five baseball games tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to
- 3:27Speaker 2: that and no WNBA because they're going into the All
- 3:30Speaker 2: Star breaks. So tomorrow is gonna be a nice, easy,
- 3:33Speaker 2: short show and I might not have any plays. Who knows?
- 3:36Speaker 2: All right, Pittsburgh and New York Yankees. They got rained
- 3:40Speaker 2: out yesterday, so presumably, well, I was gonna say it
- 3:45Speaker 2: looked like the second game today, the night game was
- 3:48Speaker 2: gonna wind up being the same pitching matchup as yesterday.
- 3:50Speaker 2: But that's not the case because Max Freed is coming
- 3:53Speaker 2: back now, so he's pitching in the night game. The Yankees.
- 3:56Speaker 2: We're gonna go with Ryan Weathers. I think is that
- 4:00Speaker 2: no know Will Warren. I think Will Warren he might
- 4:02Speaker 2: be out of the rotation actually now that Freed is
- 4:04Speaker 2: coming back, so we'll see what the Yankees do. The
- 4:07Speaker 2: afternoon game is going to be Mitch Keller against Garrett Cole.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Neither team used any relief pitchers yesterday, so yesterday I
- 4:16Speaker 2: kind of was leaning over. But that same pitching matchup
- 4:18Speaker 2: is not gonna happen now. And now these teams have rest,
- 4:22Speaker 2: so the bullpens are going to be rested coming in here.
- 4:25Speaker 2: The offenses might have cooled off a little bit by
- 4:28Speaker 2: the way. I thought the other game got rained out
- 4:30Speaker 2: when the Yankees had another game where they they didn't
- 4:33Speaker 2: play in the previous years I think or whatever, but
- 4:36Speaker 2: that was another one of those games was canceled due
- 4:39Speaker 2: to air quality because of the Canadian wildfires. It's all
- 4:44Speaker 2: so ridiculous, man, Like, I don't know how that can
- 4:48Speaker 2: cancel a baseball game or postpone it. I don't know.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Everybody's so weak now, dude, It's just so stupid. But whatever,
- 4:54Speaker 2: Yesterday's was a rain out. It was raining up here
- 4:57Speaker 2: in the Northeast. As the bullpens, the Yankees have the
- 5:01Speaker 2: way better bullpen over Pittsburgh. They're number three. They're tied
- 5:06Speaker 2: and second in bullpen y Ray with the Red Sox. Still,
- 5:09Speaker 2: as both teams didn't play yesterday, Pittsburgh is twenty third.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Their bullpen has not been particularly good both offenses have
- 5:16Speaker 2: been good. Pittsburgh number two, Yankees number six, tied with
- 5:19Speaker 2: the Rays, although I think the Yankees are better than
- 5:22Speaker 2: the Rays offensively. Yankees are good offensively at home as well.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is not as good on the road, but there's
- 5:29Speaker 2: still obviously a very capable offense. The starting pitching matchup
- 5:34Speaker 2: looks like it is pretty disadvantageous to Pittsburgh, though they're
- 5:39Speaker 2: going with Mitch Keller. Keller, I don't know what's going
- 5:43Speaker 2: to dude. It's like ESPN's changed the layout here, so
- 5:47Speaker 2: now it's like going to this mobile view that is
- 5:48Speaker 2: really pissing me off. Actually, the numbers are just screaming
- 5:52Speaker 2: at you now. Mitch Keller has a five point one
- 5:55Speaker 2: four ERA and one point three to three WHIP. Yeah,
- 5:58Speaker 2: we get it. He's not really that good. He was
- 6:00Speaker 2: pitching well earlier in the season, but yeah, he's not
- 6:03Speaker 2: doing well recently. He is better on the road though
- 6:06Speaker 2: four point four to three. Roady Ray hasn't been good recently.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Like I said, his last couple of starts have been
- 6:12Speaker 2: pretty bad overall, not too bad overall, except that his
- 6:17Speaker 2: strikeout rate is very low. He doesn't strike anybody out,
- 6:21Speaker 2: hit rate not too bad, walk rate is reasonable, but
- 6:25Speaker 2: still yeah, I mean, he's not the greatest, and he
- 6:28Speaker 2: doesn't do well against the Yankees either. Eighty five at bats,
- 6:31Speaker 2: three eighteen average, eight sixty six ops. So I don't
- 6:34Speaker 2: really trust him in this spot obviously, and he's gonna
- 6:37Speaker 2: have to go up against Garrett Cole, who was obviously
- 6:40Speaker 2: the better pitcher here. Even though he's not what he
- 6:42Speaker 2: once was, he's still a more than capable pitcher obviously,
- 6:46Speaker 2: three point nine to three ERA, one point one six whip.
- 6:48Speaker 2: He's been good at home three point one to eight home.
- 6:52Speaker 2: The IRA's pitching well recently. He looks really good in
- 6:55Speaker 2: his three starts in July after he wasn't that good
- 6:58Speaker 2: for a couple of starts towards the end of and
- 7:00Speaker 2: he's obviously turned it around. He's faced some pretty good
- 7:03Speaker 2: offenses this month, and he's been good in all three starts.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Twenty one to two strikeout walk ratio this month and
- 7:09Speaker 2: seventeen to third innings that's pretty good. So his command
- 7:12Speaker 2: is obviously on point right now. He's got a reasonable
- 7:15Speaker 2: hit rate, pretty good walk rate, pretty good strikeout rate
- 7:19Speaker 2: as well, and he's been good against the Pirates although
- 7:22Speaker 2: it's a limited sample. They have five guys who have
- 7:24Speaker 2: faced him eighty one career bats. Though it's a lot
- 7:27Speaker 2: of at bats. Brandon Lowe has forty of them, and
- 7:30Speaker 2: he has not done well. None of them have done
- 7:32Speaker 2: well really, except Ozoona has actually done all right. They
- 7:36Speaker 2: have a one to eighty five average against him, five
- 7:39Speaker 2: sixty seven oh ps, twenty six to eight strike out
- 7:41Speaker 2: walk ratio. And it will be cold facing his former team,
- 7:45Speaker 2: by the way, although I don't think that matters that
- 7:47Speaker 2: much because he's not been on Pittsburgh for a long time,
- 7:50Speaker 2: so it won't be the first time, and he's facing them.
- 7:52Speaker 2: I don't believe since he's been gone from their team.
- 7:56Speaker 2: The Yankees, I think they should win this game. They
- 7:59Speaker 2: obviously have an advantage here in the starting pitching. They
- 8:01Speaker 2: have an advantage in the bullpen as well, but you
- 8:04Speaker 2: have to lay a price for it. Obviously. You know
- 8:05Speaker 2: you're gonna get tax when you try to play the
- 8:08Speaker 2: Yankees with Garrett Cole on the mound, and with free
- 8:11Speaker 2: on the mound as well, for that matter. He's gonna
- 8:13Speaker 2: minus one or excuse me, the Yankees are minus one
- 8:16Speaker 2: seventy something here, and they're pretty public. Eighty one percent
- 8:20Speaker 2: of tickets only sixty seven percent of the cash on them,
- 8:23Speaker 2: so the money is indicating towards taking Pittsburgh at the
- 8:27Speaker 2: large underdog price. I wouldn't do it. If I was
- 8:31Speaker 2: gonna go do anything in this game, I would just
- 8:33Speaker 2: lean towards making like a minus one run line with
- 8:36Speaker 2: the Yankees or something. Another way to approach this is
- 8:40Speaker 2: you could take the Yankees to go over their team
- 8:42Speaker 2: total maybe, like I think they should score runs in
- 8:45Speaker 2: a ballpark where they've been good at doing that this season,
- 8:49Speaker 2: and they're facing a pretty weak pitcher here that doesn't
- 8:51Speaker 2: do well against them, and the bullpen probably is not
- 8:54Speaker 2: gonna help Pittsburgh's case either, so that might be an
- 8:58Speaker 2: approach Yankees team total over. You'll probably need to get
- 9:01Speaker 2: six runs, though if you do that, the money seems
- 9:05Speaker 2: to be backing the over a little bit at eight
- 9:07Speaker 2: and a half, with ticket percentage actually on the under.
- 9:10Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't have a good read on
- 9:11Speaker 2: the total in that one though. The second game, I'll
- 9:14Speaker 2: just do with the doubleheaders out of chronological order, just
- 9:17Speaker 2: to get them done. Bubba Chandler is pitching for Pittsburgh.
- 9:21Speaker 2: He was gonna pitch yesterday, and really what you need
- 9:24Speaker 2: to know about him is he walks way too many guys.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Although he's a young guy that does have some talent,
- 9:29Speaker 2: and the Yankees have never faced him before, I'm pretty sure,
- 9:31Speaker 2: so he does have maybe an advantage there where these
- 9:34Speaker 2: if you're a young pitcher and you're good. I don't
- 9:36Speaker 2: know if he's actually good or not, though a lot
- 9:39Speaker 2: of times you do have an extra advantage against a
- 9:41Speaker 2: lineup that have not faced you before. But with Chandler,
- 9:45Speaker 2: I mean, he's so walk heavy. I just don't really
- 9:47Speaker 2: trust him. And he's gonna have to go up against
- 9:49Speaker 2: Max Freed now, who's coming back from the injured list.
- 9:53Speaker 2: And you know, I keep saying it, when veterans come
- 9:55Speaker 2: back from the injured list, I actually like to back
- 9:58Speaker 2: them because I think they're ready to go, and people
- 10:00Speaker 2: don't really think that they're they're gonna be ready to go.
- 10:02Speaker 2: People tend to kind of not want to play them.
- 10:06Speaker 2: But I think that gives you actually maybe some value
- 10:09Speaker 2: when that guy comes back. But in his case, maybe
- 10:12Speaker 2: not because he's a big name pitcher, you know, so
- 10:14Speaker 2: you're probably still not really gonna get value on Freed.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Although I'm expecting him to pitch well here because obviously,
- 10:19Speaker 2: if they're gonna bring him back, he's obviously gonna be
- 10:22Speaker 2: ready to go. He's been good this season three point
- 10:25Speaker 2: two one ERA, one point oh one whip overall. He
- 10:30Speaker 2: wasn't pitching well before he went down though in mid
- 10:34Speaker 2: May he had three not very good starts in a row.
- 10:38Speaker 2: But I think he's gonna be ready to go. I
- 10:39Speaker 2: think he's probably gonna bounce back. He's got a low
- 10:42Speaker 2: hit rate here, low walk rate. His strikeout rate isn't
- 10:44Speaker 2: really that good though. He's not really striking a ton
- 10:47Speaker 2: of guys out at this point in his career. He
- 10:49Speaker 2: never was like the biggest strikeout guy. But yeah, I
- 10:52Speaker 2: mean his strike out rate is a bit low, maybe
- 10:54Speaker 2: slightly concerning against Pittsburgh has been good in the past
- 10:58Speaker 2: fifty at bats to twenty two average, five to seventy
- 11:01Speaker 2: ops allowed, So yeah, I would I think Freed is
- 11:04Speaker 2: preferable to Chandler here. If you look at Chandler's numbers
- 11:07Speaker 2: four point seven to seventy ARRA, one point four or
- 11:10Speaker 2: five WHIP and his overall numbers, He's got a good
- 11:13Speaker 2: hit rate, it's pretty low, but his walk rate is
- 11:16Speaker 2: enormous and his strike up rate is just okay. So
- 11:19Speaker 2: that's what you're getting there. And yeah, like I said,
- 11:21Speaker 2: he's unfamiliar to the Yankees, so maybe that will help
- 11:23Speaker 2: him a little bit. But I think the Yankees probably
- 11:27Speaker 2: should win both games with this doubleheader, but the market
- 11:30Speaker 2: reid is fading them in both games. The Yankees are
- 11:33Speaker 2: actually a smaller favorite in the in the night game.
- 11:36Speaker 2: In the Freed game, eighty seven percent of tickets, only
- 11:39Speaker 2: fifty one percent of the cash on them at like
- 11:41Speaker 2: minus won seventy something, So the money's indicating towards Pittsburgh
- 11:46Speaker 2: as an underdog and towards the over in both games.
- 11:49Speaker 2: The total in that game is eight and a half.
- 11:52Speaker 2: I just don't really have much of a read on it.
- 11:54Speaker 2: I think I would say Yankees minus one on the
- 11:58Speaker 2: on the run line in either game, I think might
- 12:01Speaker 2: be the approach to there. I don't know much else, man,
- 12:04Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to touch those games, but
- 12:06Speaker 2: that's uh, yeah, then of course the market doesn't agree
- 12:10Speaker 2: with me, so I don't really love that either. But yeah,
- 12:13Speaker 2: so that's definitely gonna be just a double header and
- 12:16Speaker 2: just staying the hell away from it. What I will
- 12:19Speaker 2: say is that with the double header, you could still
- 12:22Speaker 2: see like a pitching change, Like these teams still could decide, oh,
- 12:24Speaker 2: we're going to flip the starting pitchers or something like that,
- 12:27Speaker 2: So just keep an eye on it. Keep that in mind.
- 12:29Speaker 2: I think if you do want to play the game,
- 12:31Speaker 2: you do probably want to specify the starters that you're
- 12:34Speaker 2: expecting to pitch in that game to pitch so that
- 12:37Speaker 2: your handicap is going to be right on in that one,
- 12:39Speaker 2: because they're all legitimate starters. So that's what I'll say,
- 12:43Speaker 2: And then whatever the other thing I say about a
- 12:45Speaker 2: doubleheader is game two. I tend to lean a little
- 12:48Speaker 2: bit more towards an over because the bullpen usage can
- 12:53Speaker 2: be high in game one, so you might not get
- 12:55Speaker 2: the best arms in game two, so and the bats
- 12:59Speaker 2: can kind of up again in game one and get
- 13:02Speaker 2: some momentum. So that's kind of what I think they're like.
- 13:05Speaker 2: I don't think the hitters are tired out by playing
- 13:07Speaker 2: two games, you know what I mean, in the same day,
- 13:09Speaker 2: because they don't. Really you're only a bad a few
- 13:12Speaker 2: times a game, you know what I mean. Jeffrey, what's
- 13:16Speaker 2: up man? Thanks for coming back. I haven't seen you
- 13:18Speaker 2: in a while. Man, hope everything's going well. Maybe maybe
- 13:21Speaker 2: you have a new bank roll to work with and
- 13:23Speaker 2: you can lose your money with me here because I've
- 13:25Speaker 2: been on a massive cold streak here. You know, bet doubleheaders,
- 13:31Speaker 2: I mean I do as you know. If if I
- 13:34Speaker 2: see an angle, I'll do it. It's easier to figure out
- 13:37Speaker 2: game one usually than game two though, but yeah, I
- 13:41Speaker 2: would say not to. I wouldn't avoid them. Like as
- 13:43Speaker 2: a rule, I think if you see a good angle
- 13:45Speaker 2: to play the doubleheader, I mean I would say do it.
- 13:49Speaker 2: The other there is another double header with Baltimore in
- 13:51Speaker 2: the Red Sox because it got rained out in Boston
- 13:54Speaker 2: last night. It was definitely raining. Game one is going
- 13:59Speaker 2: to be a completely differ from pitching matchup the what
- 14:01Speaker 2: was scheduled yesterday. My guess is that Game two is
- 14:05Speaker 2: going to be the pitching matchup from yesterday. But the
- 14:07Speaker 2: Red Sox have not announced their starting pitcher in Game two,
- 14:10Speaker 2: which is kind of weird because it was supposed to
- 14:12Speaker 2: be Suarez coming off the DL yesterday and now the
- 14:16Speaker 2: Red Sox are undecided. I don't know what they're doing here.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Game one though, looks like it is set to be
- 14:23Speaker 2: Creamer against Bennett here. The Red Sox will neither team
- 14:27Speaker 2: us any relievers yesterday, so we do rested bullpens. Red
- 14:31Speaker 2: Sox have a really good bullpen. They're number two. They're
- 14:34Speaker 2: tied with the Yankees in era for the best ra
- 14:39Speaker 2: Baltimore is tenth. Their bullpen has actually been pretty good recently,
- 14:43Speaker 2: but the Red Sox still have the better of the
- 14:44Speaker 2: two bullpens. Both bullpens might be ready to go in
- 14:47Speaker 2: this one, though because of the rest scenario. The offenses
- 14:51Speaker 2: might be a little bit cooler. Because of the rest yesterday.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Baltimore's seventeenth in offense, Red Sox twentieth. Red Sox have
- 14:58Speaker 2: been moving up offensively. Red Sox, Yeah, they're still on
- 15:02Speaker 2: a fourteen game win streak right now. It's gonna end
- 15:06Speaker 2: at some point, man, and when it ends might not
- 15:09Speaker 2: be good because that negative momentum might carry this game
- 15:12Speaker 2: won here. Dean Kreamer is pitching for Baltimore. He's been good,
- 15:17Speaker 2: although it's a small sample size. He hasn't pitched that
- 15:20Speaker 2: much this year, and I don't think he's this good.
- 15:21Speaker 2: I think he's a mediocre pitcher if you look at
- 15:24Speaker 2: his career numbers. He's got a four point one five
- 15:26Speaker 2: ERA this year, but a one point one to two
- 15:28Speaker 2: WHIP is pretty good. He's been a little bit worse
- 15:31Speaker 2: on the road erray wise four point five, although his
- 15:34Speaker 2: opponent batting average is actually better on the road, it's
- 15:37Speaker 2: below two hundred. He wasn't good in his last two
- 15:40Speaker 2: starts though. He gave up four home runs against the
- 15:43Speaker 2: against the Cubs at home and then went to Houston.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Didn't make it five innings in that one, walked three guys,
- 15:50Speaker 2: so he's not really an excellent form right now. His
- 15:53Speaker 2: numbers this season have been pretty good overall, though low
- 15:55Speaker 2: hit rate, low walk rate, high strikeout rate like that
- 15:58Speaker 2: all looks pretty good. Against the Red Sox, He's been
- 16:02Speaker 2: a little bit all over the map here. They've hit
- 16:04Speaker 2: him for contact or they haven't really hit him for power.
- 16:07Speaker 2: He's got fifty six at bats against him. They have
- 16:09Speaker 2: a three to h four average against him, but only
- 16:11Speaker 2: a six forty nine OHPS because they only have one
- 16:14Speaker 2: extra base hit, which is a double from Yoshida. But
- 16:17Speaker 2: a lot of the Red Sox hitters have good batting
- 16:19Speaker 2: averages against him though, so they are able to reach
- 16:21Speaker 2: base against him. He's he's such a slot on the
- 16:27Speaker 2: mound man. Thirteen strikeouts, two walks though, so that is
- 16:31Speaker 2: a good ratio, you know. I mean, I still lean
- 16:35Speaker 2: a little bit towards the Red Sox having a little
- 16:36Speaker 2: bit of the advantage against him here and the Red
- 16:38Speaker 2: Sox are going with Jake Bennett, who has been quite
- 16:41Speaker 2: good so far as a rookie here two point three
- 16:44Speaker 2: five ERA point eighty eight whip a little bit worse
- 16:48Speaker 2: at home in the ERA two point five to seven,
- 16:50Speaker 2: but that is not bad Bennett. He's been really good, dude.
- 16:54Speaker 2: I mean, his last six starts, he's allowed two or
- 16:56Speaker 2: fewer earned runs in all of them. Red Sox have
- 16:58Speaker 2: won four starts in a row. He's picked up a
- 17:01Speaker 2: win in all four of them. He's in good form
- 17:04Speaker 2: right now. He's pitching well. His strikeout rates not very
- 17:06Speaker 2: high though, but he's not walking guys. He's not allowing
- 17:09Speaker 2: a lot of hits at all. He just he gets
- 17:12Speaker 2: guys to hit into bad contact basically, which I know
- 17:15Speaker 2: the advanced analytics guys don't like that, but that is
- 17:18Speaker 2: a really low whip, dude. So that he's been solid
- 17:21Speaker 2: and the Orioles have never faced him before. So that
- 17:24Speaker 2: should be an extra advantage to the pitcher when they're
- 17:27Speaker 2: a good pitcher and the opposing offense hasn't faced them before.
- 17:31Speaker 2: So I think in Game one I would probably have
- 17:33Speaker 2: to lean a little bit towards the Red Sox. But again,
- 17:35Speaker 2: it looks like the same type of situation in the
- 17:38Speaker 2: market as the Yankees games. Red Sox are public. I mean,
- 17:41Speaker 2: obviously the public's gonna come in on a team that
- 17:44Speaker 2: has a big name. It is one fourteen in a row,
- 17:47Speaker 2: eighty nine percent of tickets, eighty four percent of the cash. Though,
- 17:50Speaker 2: on the Red Sox at about minus one fifty, I
- 17:54Speaker 2: mean I would lean that way, maybe making like a
- 17:56Speaker 2: run line on the Red Sox or the money line.
- 17:58Speaker 2: If it's below minus one fifth, I'm not gonna do it.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Though obviously the over looks like it's getting subtraction here
- 18:06Speaker 2: at over nine. I don't really I don't think I
- 18:08Speaker 2: agree with that. I think I would slightly lean under
- 18:11Speaker 2: in that first game because he's got rested bullpens, they've
- 18:13Speaker 2: both been good recently. The starting pitchers both might actually
- 18:17Speaker 2: pitch all right there, So yeah, I don't really see
- 18:20Speaker 2: the argument for the over in that one. I don't
- 18:23Speaker 2: have much else than that. Oh the other thing I
- 18:25Speaker 2: will say is Baltimore came into this series with a
- 18:28Speaker 2: seven game win streak and they lost it in the
- 18:30Speaker 2: first game in kind of dramatic fashion. So Baltimore might
- 18:33Speaker 2: be in a little bit of a hangover. Like when
- 18:35Speaker 2: a team loses along win streak like that, that can
- 18:38Speaker 2: definitely hang them over into the next game. So somebody
- 18:41Speaker 2: keep in mind with the situation. And then game two
- 18:43Speaker 2: of the doubleheader here is going to be Kyle Bradish
- 18:47Speaker 2: for Baltimore, and he was scheduled to start yesterday. Goody
- 18:50Speaker 2: Ray from him three point six to one, but his
- 18:52Speaker 2: whip is pretty bad one point three to five. He's
- 18:55Speaker 2: not as good on the road four point six Roady
- 18:58Speaker 2: Ray with a much higher opponent batting average as well.
- 19:02Speaker 2: He's been good in the month of June of July.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Those last two starts are both pretty good. I don't
- 19:08Speaker 2: know if he's really that trustworthy though. I mean, his
- 19:10Speaker 2: walk rate is very bad, although the rest of his
- 19:13Speaker 2: numbers are pretty good. His hit rate is fine, walk
- 19:16Speaker 2: Susie strike got rate is fairly high as well, but
- 19:19Speaker 2: his wildness is a huge problem. And as I mentioned yesterday,
- 19:22Speaker 2: the Red Sox have been able to hit him for power.
- 19:25Speaker 2: They have thirty nine at bats against some two fifty
- 19:27Speaker 2: six average nine fifty six ops. That is definitely high
- 19:31Speaker 2: thirteen to five strike out walk ratio, So I think
- 19:33Speaker 2: the Red Sox two of the upper hand against Bradish.
- 19:36Speaker 2: We'll have to see if it is going to be
- 19:38Speaker 2: Suarez or not. I don't know why he would have
- 19:40Speaker 2: been announced as the pitcher yesterday but then not pitching today.
- 19:45Speaker 2: I expect it will be Suarez, and I would lean
- 19:47Speaker 2: to the Red Sox in that one if it is
- 19:50Speaker 2: going to be him, but it would be a slight
- 19:51Speaker 2: lean for me. I got not a whole lot here,
- 19:55Speaker 2: and the money is heavily backing Baltimore in that one,
- 19:58Speaker 2: ninety two percent of tickets on the Red Sox, sixty
- 20:01Speaker 2: seven percent of the cash on Baltimore. Not a market
- 20:05Speaker 2: read that I really want to see as a Red
- 20:07Speaker 2: Sox fan. And the over is getting a lot of
- 20:09Speaker 2: traction in that one. At about nine, it looks like
- 20:12Speaker 2: the line is kind of all over the place. I
- 20:15Speaker 2: don't know, but yeah, it's not something that I want
- 20:17Speaker 2: to do anything with. This next game is going to
- 20:19Speaker 2: be my only baseball play so we have afternoon baseball
- 20:22Speaker 2: action here and it involves one team that I actually
- 20:30Speaker 2: have had a good gauge on, the New York Mets.
- 20:32Speaker 2: I believe I gave up two plays on the Mets
- 20:35Speaker 2: in their Philly series and they won both of them.
- 20:37Speaker 2: For us, we're gonna go under seven and a half
- 20:40Speaker 2: in this one, Mets Brewers. I think this is a
- 20:43Speaker 2: good pitching matchup, and it's one that's gonna kind of
- 20:45Speaker 2: just fly under the radar because people still don't really
- 20:48Speaker 2: know who these pitchers are. But they're both good. These
- 20:50Speaker 2: teams did play yesterday, and I was correct about the
- 20:53Speaker 2: game yesterday. Zach Thornton, he might be the real deal man.
- 20:56Speaker 2: He was really good again yesterday sprote was not particularly good,
- 21:01Speaker 2: and if you went with my recommendation their first five
- 21:05Speaker 2: with the Mets, that would have been a winner. I'm
- 21:07Speaker 2: pissed I didn't put it on my card. Now the
- 21:09Speaker 2: Brewers are in a spot where they lost a four
- 21:11Speaker 2: game win streak, so that possibly can hang them over
- 21:14Speaker 2: coming into this game. But the teams have split the series,
- 21:18Speaker 2: so I think both teams are gonna try to show
- 21:19Speaker 2: up for this. But I'm looking at the total as
- 21:22Speaker 2: you could see. I like both bullpens and they're not
- 21:25Speaker 2: really that used after yesterday. Milwaukee u's two guys who
- 21:28Speaker 2: are long relief type of men, so all their best
- 21:30Speaker 2: relievers are available here, and they're a good bullpen. The
- 21:34Speaker 2: Mets have a pretty rested bullpen as well, though they
- 21:36Speaker 2: did use their better relievers yesterday to close the game out,
- 21:41Speaker 2: but their bullpen is still decently resting and not that bad.
- 21:45Speaker 2: So I'm gonna leave the bullpens in and get this
- 21:47Speaker 2: key number seven and a half here on the full game,
- 21:50Speaker 2: which my first five under something awful recently, so I
- 21:55Speaker 2: probably should be doing more full game unders at this
- 21:58Speaker 2: point and rely on these pitchers to get you more
- 22:01Speaker 2: than five innings here. Potentially, Milwaukee's number eight in bullpen.
- 22:04Speaker 2: They're pretty good. The Mets are number nine, although their
- 22:08Speaker 2: ERA is a little bit higher, so Brewers have the
- 22:12Speaker 2: better bullpend, but they're both bullpens that I think you
- 22:14Speaker 2: could back here. Milwaukee's been a good offense number nine,
- 22:18Speaker 2: tied with Minnesota, but I think they could be silenced
- 22:21Speaker 2: a little bit by the pitching here and the Mets,
- 22:24Speaker 2: you know, their office is just not that good. At
- 22:27Speaker 2: twenty ninth, we know they haven't been good this year,
- 22:29Speaker 2: so probably we don't have to worry about them doing
- 22:32Speaker 2: a whole lot of damage here started pitching. We're gonna
- 22:35Speaker 2: back both these guys. Christian Scott going for the Mets.
- 22:38Speaker 2: We backed him in his last game, but part of
- 22:40Speaker 2: that was because of the situation, but part of it
- 22:43Speaker 2: was because I like Scott. I think he's under the radar.
- 22:45Speaker 2: He's been pretty good two point eight to seventy array,
- 22:48Speaker 2: one point two to whip. He pitched a bit last
- 22:51Speaker 2: year or too, and he showed some signs of being
- 22:53Speaker 2: fairly good last year, and I think that, yeah, that
- 22:56Speaker 2: has come to fruition. He's pretty good. He's given up
- 22:59Speaker 2: no runs in his last two starts, so that's pretty good.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Still not going too deep into these games, but I
- 23:05Speaker 2: still think he can carry us through this thing. With
- 23:09Speaker 2: the bullpen behind him, I think should be good enough here.
- 23:12Speaker 2: He's got a low hit rate of high strikeout rate.
- 23:14Speaker 2: His walk rate is a little bit questionable, but not
- 23:16Speaker 2: too bad. So yeah, overall, his numbers are pretty good
- 23:20Speaker 2: here in milwaukee's never faced him before, as you might
- 23:23Speaker 2: have been able to guess. So we're gonna get a
- 23:24Speaker 2: pitcher who has an unfamiliarity edge year against the opposing offense.
- 23:28Speaker 2: So I like that Milwaukee's going with Logan Henderson, another
- 23:31Speaker 2: guy who I've been backing when I can find spots
- 23:35Speaker 2: to do it. He's been good a two point nine
- 23:37Speaker 2: to seventy ra point nine to three whip. He looked
- 23:40Speaker 2: pretty good last year when he was a pitcher for
- 23:43Speaker 2: the Brewers as well. He looks like he's in pretty
- 23:45Speaker 2: good for him right now. He's allowed two or fewer
- 23:48Speaker 2: earned runs in all but one outing on the season.
- 23:51Speaker 2: He was injured for a bit, mostly for the month
- 23:53Speaker 2: of June, and he's looked fine since coming back. He's
- 23:57Speaker 2: got a high strikeout rate, pretty low hit rate, really
- 24:00Speaker 2: walk rate, so his numbers are strong across the board,
- 24:03Speaker 2: and the Mets have never faced him before. So another
- 24:09Speaker 2: good situation here. I think we have both starting pitchers
- 24:11Speaker 2: are just totally unfamiliar to the opposing offenses, which I
- 24:14Speaker 2: think should give both pitchers a little bit of an
- 24:16Speaker 2: extra edge there. This is my only Baseball player of
- 24:19Speaker 2: the day under in Mets Brewers. Let me see here,
- 24:24Speaker 2: and the money doesn't totally look like it agrees, but
- 24:27Speaker 2: it looks like the over is kind of public seventy
- 24:30Speaker 2: six percent of tickets seventy nine percent of the cash
- 24:33Speaker 2: on it total seven and a half. So the oddsmakers
- 24:36Speaker 2: are telling you they think it's going to be a
- 24:37Speaker 2: low scoring game here, and the money is backing the
- 24:41Speaker 2: Mets here as well eighty one percent of tickets and
- 24:43Speaker 2: fifty eight percent of the cash on the Brewers, So
- 24:46Speaker 2: that means the market indicators are leaning towards the Mets
- 24:49Speaker 2: here as an underdog. Milwaukee had about minus one forty
- 24:53Speaker 2: or so I could see the argument for that. I mean,
- 24:55Speaker 2: it looks like it's a close matchup, and when that's
- 24:58Speaker 2: the case, close low scoring matchup expected, it kind of
- 25:02Speaker 2: makes sense to look towards the underdog. So that's what
- 25:04Speaker 2: I will say about that. But the under is the
- 25:06Speaker 2: play for me and that one, all right, San Francisco,
- 25:11Speaker 2: Kansas City. I was wrong about that game. I thought
- 25:13Speaker 2: that game was going to be high scoring and it
- 25:16Speaker 2: was not. Although I did mention both starting pitchers in
- 25:19Speaker 2: the game yesterday did have good matchup numbers at least,
- 25:21Speaker 2: so we're matchup situations depending on which picture you're talking about.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Still Kansas City, I mean it's a fairly high scoring
- 25:30Speaker 2: ballpark here for Kansas City. Kansas City is on the
- 25:34Speaker 2: verge of a sweep. By the way, they use three
- 25:36Speaker 2: relief pitchers yesterday San Francisco used four. Kansas City is
- 25:41Speaker 2: the worst bullpen in baseball though basically they're dead last
- 25:44Speaker 2: and whip second worst ERA. Not a good bullpen at all.
- 25:49Speaker 2: San Francisco's bullpen has struggled this year, but they're better
- 25:52Speaker 2: than Kansas City. They're twenty fourth hitting wise. Neither team
- 25:57Speaker 2: I think is really that impressive. Giants of fifteenth right now,
- 26:00Speaker 2: I think they're probably more like a bottom ten offense, though,
- 26:03Speaker 2: as I keep saying, they're tied with the Rangers right now,
- 26:05Speaker 2: who I also don't think are that good. Kansas City
- 26:08Speaker 2: is eighteenth. Kansas City hits better at home at least,
- 26:13Speaker 2: but situationally, I think San Francisco might be worth a
- 26:16Speaker 2: look here because Kansas City is on the verge of sweep.
- 26:19Speaker 2: They look good right now, but they only won each
- 26:21Speaker 2: game in the series by one run, and I believe
- 26:23Speaker 2: they played Detroit next, so they could potent. Yeah, they've
- 26:27Speaker 2: started a series against Detroit tomorrow, so that could kind
- 26:30Speaker 2: of be a look ahead spot there. That's a pretty
- 26:32Speaker 2: big divisional series against Detroit, so maybe a bad spot
- 26:36Speaker 2: for Kansas City here. They've already won the series. The
- 26:39Speaker 2: next series they have upcoming matters more than this one,
- 26:42Speaker 2: so situation favors the Giants here. Giants. You could definitely
- 26:48Speaker 2: argue that the Giants have the better starter in this
- 26:50Speaker 2: game with landon route three point nine to eighty array
- 26:53Speaker 2: one point two to seven whip not bad. He is
- 26:56Speaker 2: not as good on the road though, four point one
- 26:58Speaker 2: to two. Roadie ra pretty good in his last two starts,
- 27:02Speaker 2: although his walk rate well, not really the walk rate
- 27:05Speaker 2: so much, but the strikeout rate has been really low,
- 27:07Speaker 2: so I don't know what the deal is with that.
- 27:08Speaker 2: But he's been basically unhittable over his last two starts,
- 27:11Speaker 2: but against struggling offenses Toronto and Seattle, although Kansas City
- 27:16Speaker 2: I don't think is really that much better than that.
- 27:19Speaker 2: He's got a low hit rate on the season, his
- 27:20Speaker 2: strikeout rate is pretty high. He's a big ground ball
- 27:23Speaker 2: pitcher as well, but his walk rate is way too high.
- 27:26Speaker 2: So that's the problem with Roupe as he walks way
- 27:28Speaker 2: too many guys. Numbers against Kansas City limited sample size,
- 27:33Speaker 2: though he hasn't been that good against them in eleven
- 27:35Speaker 2: at bats to seventy three average, one twenty one OPS
- 27:39Speaker 2: one to two strikeout walk ratio. So I don't know.
- 27:44Speaker 2: I don't know how to gauge what Roupe is going
- 27:46Speaker 2: to do in this game. Really, I lean a little
- 27:48Speaker 2: bit more towards him doing better, but it wouldn't shock
- 27:51Speaker 2: me if he didn't do well. Obviously, Seth Lugo is
- 27:54Speaker 2: pitching this game for the Royals. He's not been very
- 27:56Speaker 2: good this season. He's been good good off in the past,
- 28:00Speaker 2: but I don't know, Man. It might be something to
- 28:04Speaker 2: do with the walls having moved in in the stadium,
- 28:06Speaker 2: or having been moved in in the stadium. Maybe that's
- 28:08Speaker 2: affecting him a bit. Maybe just he's getting up there
- 28:11Speaker 2: in age. I don't know what to tell you, man.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Four point three to ninety IRA, one point four to
- 28:15Speaker 2: one whip not great. And again the advanced analytics guys
- 28:18Speaker 2: also don't like Lugo because he pitches the contact, which
- 28:23Speaker 2: can hurt you unless you can consistently get them to
- 28:26Speaker 2: hit into soft contact. Lugo some positives here, though. He's
- 28:30Speaker 2: been good at home three point six to one home
- 28:32Speaker 2: the Ray, and he's been pretty good recently at least.
- 28:35Speaker 2: His last start was pretty good, at least against San Diego,
- 28:38Speaker 2: but San Diego not a good offense, although I don't
- 28:40Speaker 2: think the Giants are particularly good either. Lugo his hit
- 28:44Speaker 2: rate is too high, man. The rest of his numbers
- 28:46Speaker 2: aren't really that bad, Like his strikeout rate is kind
- 28:49Speaker 2: of low, but that's what you expect from him. His
- 28:52Speaker 2: walk rate isn't really too bad, but his hit rate
- 28:54Speaker 2: a little bit high. He's too hittable here. Numbers against
- 28:58Speaker 2: the Giants are not very good twenty six at bats.
- 29:01Speaker 2: They only have five guys who have faced him, but
- 29:03Speaker 2: they've done a lot of damage, especially Devers. Three to
- 29:06Speaker 2: zero eight batting average one thousand and eighty eight ohps
- 29:09Speaker 2: for the Giants offense against him, three strikeouts, two walks.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Devers is four for eight with two on runs by
- 29:16Speaker 2: the way, one walk and no strikeouts. So possible player
- 29:20Speaker 2: prop potential there with Devers if you want to go
- 29:22Speaker 2: hits plus runs plus RBIs or something. He has good
- 29:26Speaker 2: matchup stats at least. I mean, my first instinct was
- 29:31Speaker 2: Giants to avoid the sweet peer and you might still
- 29:34Speaker 2: have the pitching advantage with route there. The money looks
- 29:36Speaker 2: like it does agree with that they're at about minus
- 29:39Speaker 2: one twenty here, so you do have to lay a
- 29:40Speaker 2: favorite price with them, But I think you'll get the
- 29:43Speaker 2: better motivational spot there and potentially the better pitcher, and
- 29:46Speaker 2: you do have the better bullpen as well, because Kansas
- 29:50Speaker 2: City's is so bad. So I think the Giants makes
- 29:53Speaker 2: some sense here sixty percent to take a sixty seven
- 29:56Speaker 2: percent of the cash on them, That's probably what I
- 29:59Speaker 2: would do if I was gonna play this game. The
- 30:00Speaker 2: total looks like it's getting some money on the over
- 30:03Speaker 2: at eight and a half, which is kind of a
- 30:05Speaker 2: low total for Kansas City at this point. For their
- 30:08Speaker 2: home games, you've been seeing higher totals than that for
- 30:10Speaker 2: the most part, so over, you know, might be a
- 30:14Speaker 2: consideration there. I mean, you got two bullpens that aren't
- 30:16Speaker 2: really that good. I think both starters are at least
- 30:19Speaker 2: questionable there, so I think over makes some sense there.
- 30:22Speaker 2: But I think my preference would be to play San
- 30:24Speaker 2: Francisco in that game. On the money line Washington and Colorado,
- 30:30Speaker 2: I said that the series felt like an over series,
- 30:33Speaker 2: and yesterday's game did go over, so my lean was
- 30:36Speaker 2: correct in that one, But I didn't love it because
- 30:38Speaker 2: of the pitching matchup numbers not looking really bad enough
- 30:43Speaker 2: for me, but it was an over game. Colorado won
- 30:46Speaker 2: the game eight to seven. These teams to split the
- 30:49Speaker 2: series so far, so both teams I expect to show
- 30:52Speaker 2: up here. Colorado used five relief pitchers yesterday, not a
- 30:57Speaker 2: good bullpen. Washington used four. Their bullpen is good, Colorado's
- 31:01Speaker 2: twenty fifth, Washington twenty sixth. We're looking at a couple
- 31:04Speaker 2: of bad bullpens and two good offenses. Washington tied in
- 31:09Speaker 2: second with Pittsburgh offensively and Colorado fifth. So again, a
- 31:13Speaker 2: lot of kind of indicators towards overs, but this starting
- 31:17Speaker 2: pitching matchup does not look like an over to me.
- 31:20Speaker 2: Washington's going with cade Cavali. I've been saying that I
- 31:24Speaker 2: think he's a pretty talented young pitcher. He's got a
- 31:27Speaker 2: three point seven to eighty RA one point three to
- 31:29Speaker 2: one whip is still a bit high, but he's pitching
- 31:32Speaker 2: pretty well recently, and he's been good on the road.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Three point six to five Roady Ray, Now, how is
- 31:37Speaker 2: he gonna do in course field? As a question, Well,
- 31:40Speaker 2: he just pitched in that horrible A's stadium and he
- 31:43Speaker 2: was really good in that start. He pitched in the
- 31:45Speaker 2: game that Washington won twenty three to four, but he
- 31:49Speaker 2: didn't really need the run support him, and he was
- 31:51Speaker 2: really good in that game. So that's a good sign
- 31:54Speaker 2: as far as pitching a course field because the most
- 31:57Speaker 2: similar stadium to this is that a stadium, and that
- 32:00Speaker 2: balls fly out of that ballpark and he's still pitched
- 32:02Speaker 2: really well in that start. He's been good for his
- 32:06Speaker 2: last like really his last five starts, four of them
- 32:09Speaker 2: have been good. The only bad one was against Pittsburgh
- 32:12Speaker 2: at home. His hit rate is still too high, is
- 32:16Speaker 2: walk rate is pretty good, though in his strikeout rate
- 32:18Speaker 2: is high, so that's a good indicator that he does
- 32:20Speaker 2: fool hitters. And the other good thing about the course
- 32:23Speaker 2: field scenarios he is not a fly ball pitcher. He
- 32:26Speaker 2: doesn't really allow that many home runs. He gets a
- 32:28Speaker 2: lot of ground ball outs, so he might actually pitch
- 32:31Speaker 2: well here in Colorado has only one guy who's ever
- 32:33Speaker 2: faced him, Troy Johnston, who's zero for three off him,
- 32:37Speaker 2: So cavally has an unfamiliarity edge here against Colorado two.
- 32:41Speaker 2: I think he should actually pitch reasonably well here, and
- 32:44Speaker 2: Colorado is going with Gabriel Hughes, who I believe is
- 32:49Speaker 2: new to the major leagues this year, and he's pitched
- 32:51Speaker 2: well so far. Three point one four ERA, one point
- 32:55Speaker 2: one two Whip. He's been good in course field two
- 32:57Speaker 2: point one to six Homie area though he's only made
- 32:59Speaker 2: three start so far, but he's given up three or
- 33:02Speaker 2: fewer earned runs, and all of them they've basically unleashed
- 33:05Speaker 2: him and let him go like a full start. His
- 33:06Speaker 2: last two outings, one was against the Dodgers, and he
- 33:09Speaker 2: was fairly good in that start, so that's pretty impressive. Man,
- 33:13Speaker 2: He's been pretty good so far. He might actually be
- 33:16Speaker 2: a good pitcher. And Washington's never faced him before, so
- 33:18Speaker 2: he does have that unfamiliarity edge going from him here.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Both pitchers do, so I would not be playing an
- 33:24Speaker 2: over in this game. The bullpens might implode, though, So
- 33:29Speaker 2: I think the way to play this game is the
- 33:31Speaker 2: first five under. I know, I mean it doesn't sound
- 33:35Speaker 2: great in course field. The full game total is eleven
- 33:37Speaker 2: and a half, which is slightly low based on what
- 33:40Speaker 2: we've seen in the series so far. The other games
- 33:42Speaker 2: were like twelve, twelve and a half, thirteen, So the
- 33:45Speaker 2: Oddsmaker's kind of indicating to you this is a little
- 33:48Speaker 2: bit lower scoring, well, it's expected to be lower scoring
- 33:51Speaker 2: than the other two games. Sixty one percent of tickets
- 33:54Speaker 2: on the over, ninety four percent of the cash on
- 33:56Speaker 2: the over. But I still think I was gonna play
- 33:58Speaker 2: this first five on would be the way I would
- 34:00Speaker 2: look to play that game. You're probably looking at like
- 34:04Speaker 2: six or something there, So it's a reasonable number. Man,
- 34:08Speaker 2: Both starting pitchers might actually be able to do well here,
- 34:11Speaker 2: and I think they're both still kind of under the
- 34:13Speaker 2: radar here. The money is back in Washington a little bit,
- 34:17Speaker 2: but they're very public. Nine tickets, ninety five percent of
- 34:20Speaker 2: the cash minus one thirty something. I don't think I
- 34:23Speaker 2: would lay that type of price with, but I think
- 34:25Speaker 2: might be kind of an even starting pitching matchup there.
- 34:28Speaker 2: So yeah, I think under first five, as dangerous as
- 34:33Speaker 2: it sounds, makes more sense than anything else to me. There,
- 34:36Speaker 2: Dirty Sock, what's up? Thanks for hanging out A's and Arizona.
- 34:42Speaker 2: This game is gonna be an ESPN unlimited in the
- 34:45Speaker 2: afternoon here. These teams have split the first two games
- 34:49Speaker 2: of this year, as Arizona won the game yesterday after
- 34:52Speaker 2: If you watch Loser cast last night, we talked about
- 34:54Speaker 2: the first game one of the A's batters fouled a
- 34:59Speaker 2: ball off of his ball and he ruptured his testicle, Like,
- 35:03Speaker 2: what is he not wearing a cup or something? I
- 35:05Speaker 2: have no idea. I'd never heard of the guy before.
- 35:08Speaker 2: I forget Joshua something, I forget what the hell his
- 35:10Speaker 2: name is. And he stayed in the game and he
- 35:12Speaker 2: got a hit in that pad. Anyway, I don't know, man,
- 35:17Speaker 2: It's it's kind of ridiculous, but uh whatever, he's gonna
- 35:22Speaker 2: have one ball from now on. Anyway, He's gonna he's
- 35:25Speaker 2: gonna have a one ball count from now on. Anyway.
- 35:32Speaker 2: He seems to split the series so far. I think
- 35:34Speaker 2: both teams are probably gonna show up to try to
- 35:36Speaker 2: win the series. You could tell that this game went
- 35:39Speaker 2: into extra innings yesterday because Arizona used five relieve pitchers
- 35:42Speaker 2: in the A's used, uh six side, Like, just based
- 35:45Speaker 2: on that alone, I was like, oh, that must have
- 35:47Speaker 2: been an extra inning game and it was, so I
- 35:50Speaker 2: wouldn't really want to back the bullpens in this one
- 35:52Speaker 2: of the Arizona's bullpen has been pretty good, but they're
- 35:55Speaker 2: they're ranked fifth. I don't think they're really that good,
- 35:57Speaker 2: but they're fairly good. The bullpen is not good. They're
- 36:01Speaker 2: twenty seventh and they have the worst bullpen era in baseball.
- 36:05Speaker 2: The A's have the better offense, they're twelfth, and the
- 36:08Speaker 2: d Backs are twenty fifth. Really been struggling offensively. I
- 36:14Speaker 2: think the decider in this game, this game almost made
- 36:16Speaker 2: the cut for me. Really it's the starting pitching matchup.
- 36:19Speaker 2: I think the starting pitching matchup here pretty clearly favors
- 36:22Speaker 2: the A's here with my man gauge jump on the mound,
- 36:25Speaker 2: even though he hasn't been that good recently, but we
- 36:27Speaker 2: had some wins backing him earlier in the season, and
- 36:30Speaker 2: then I jumped off of the jump train at the
- 36:34Speaker 2: right time. Man, this might be the time to get
- 36:36Speaker 2: back on the train though, for this one game, at
- 36:39Speaker 2: least jump three point seven to eighty rrail. Those whip
- 36:42Speaker 2: isn't really that good one point three to two, so
- 36:44Speaker 2: that number has gone way up recently. But he's still
- 36:47Speaker 2: a young guy, dude, and it's just not good that
- 36:50Speaker 2: he has to pitch in that a stadium. Man, I mean,
- 36:52Speaker 2: look at what he's done when you've taken him out
- 36:53Speaker 2: of that stadium. His ray on the road is point
- 36:57Speaker 2: seventy five with a one seventy three polling of batting
- 37:00Speaker 2: average and almost the same sample size. So yeah, I mean,
- 37:03Speaker 2: he doesn't pitch well in that a stadium. It's a
- 37:06Speaker 2: horrible stadium for pitchers. And you put him on the road.
- 37:10Speaker 2: He's a very good pitcher on the road. I know,
- 37:12Speaker 2: look at this recent stretcher, he hasn't been good. Three
- 37:15Speaker 2: of his last four starts have been kind of bad.
- 37:17Speaker 2: All three of those came at home, and the one
- 37:20Speaker 2: good start was on the road against a pretty good
- 37:22Speaker 2: offense in the White Sox. So I still think Jump
- 37:25Speaker 2: is good and backing him on the road makes some
- 37:28Speaker 2: sense to me. He's still got a high strikeout rate,
- 37:30Speaker 2: so that's a good indicator that he fools guys at
- 37:33Speaker 2: the major league level. His hit rate has kind of average,
- 37:36Speaker 2: his walk rate is not too bad, but he's got
- 37:39Speaker 2: the strikeout potentially there. I think he's good. He's obviously
- 37:42Speaker 2: good on the road, and he's got unfamiliarity here, which
- 37:44Speaker 2: should be an extra advantage for him. The Diamondbacks have
- 37:47Speaker 2: never faced him before, so that should be an extra
- 37:49Speaker 2: advantage for gauge Jump here. And he's gonna go up
- 37:53Speaker 2: against Meryl Kelly, who really has kind of gone off
- 37:55Speaker 2: the rails this season. Five point two ERA, one point
- 37:59Speaker 2: four to nine whip That is not good. He's been
- 38:02Speaker 2: much better than that throughout his career, but he might
- 38:04Speaker 2: be nearing the end man and he's been really bad
- 38:07Speaker 2: at home six point six' nine homey, ray so he
- 38:10Speaker 2: is a guy that you could definitely fade at, home
- 38:13Speaker 2: although he's been better recently. Though all three of His
- 38:17Speaker 2: july starts have actually been pretty, good including two home,
- 38:21Speaker 2: starts so he's in better form right now at least of.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Those walk rate has still been too, high but at
- 38:27Speaker 2: least for his, sake he is starting to pitch better
- 38:30Speaker 2: than he was earlier in the. Season his overall numbers
- 38:33Speaker 2: are still pretty ugly though his hit rate is, high
- 38:35Speaker 2: his walk rate is too. High he's giving up a
- 38:37Speaker 2: ton of home. Runs his strikeout rate is really, low
- 38:40Speaker 2: so he's just not really fooling anybody at this. Point
- 38:42Speaker 2: his numbers against The a's are a little bit all
- 38:47Speaker 2: over the place. Really in thirty six at bats two
- 38:49Speaker 2: twenty two average allowed is not very, high but eight
- 38:52Speaker 2: h six ops is pretty. High McNeil has two home
- 38:55Speaker 2: runs against him and three for, Twelve so, YEAH i,
- 39:00Speaker 2: MEAN i think a's first five is the way to
- 39:02Speaker 2: play This this almost made the cut For, meal Though
- 39:05Speaker 2: kelly is pitching better, recently But jump has way more.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Upside he's the talented young pitcher. Here he's been excellent
- 39:11Speaker 2: on the, Road, Merril kelly's been awful at, home so
- 39:14Speaker 2: the home. Roads let's heavily Favor Gauge jump in that
- 39:17Speaker 2: starting pitching. Matchup there's no way THAT i would back
- 39:20Speaker 2: The a's, bullpend but, YEAH i think playing the a's
- 39:23Speaker 2: first five is what makes the most sense in this,
- 39:25Speaker 2: game and very tempted to put that on my. Card,
- 39:28Speaker 2: uh sixty eight percent of tickets On arizona ninety four
- 39:31Speaker 2: percent of the cash on The, A's so you know
- 39:33Speaker 2: what's gonna. Happen you, know The a's are going to
- 39:34Speaker 2: be a winner and the play THAT i gave out
- 39:36Speaker 2: is going to be a. Loser that's just the way
- 39:38Speaker 2: everything has gone. Recently like IF i had just splashed
- 39:41Speaker 2: the board, YESTERDAY i would have gone three to. One
- 39:43Speaker 2: IF i went with all four of my first five
- 39:46Speaker 2: money line. Plays it's such, bullshit, dude but, Anyway, yeah
- 39:50Speaker 2: that's HOW i play this. Game the money's backing the
- 39:52Speaker 2: over nine as well in that. GAME i, MEAN i
- 39:55Speaker 2: wouldn't necessarily disagree with an. OVER i, MEAN i think
- 39:58Speaker 2: after the bullpen's got used up yesterday and at least
- 40:01Speaker 2: one of the bullpens is really bad, Anyway like jump
- 40:04Speaker 2: is really kind of the only good aspect of the
- 40:06Speaker 2: pitching in that, game, really so over kind of makes.
- 40:10Speaker 2: Sense But a's first five is the WAY i would
- 40:12Speaker 2: play that. Game cincinnati And. Seattle oh, yeah and The,
- 40:17Speaker 2: A'S i think you're actually gonna have to play them
- 40:18Speaker 2: at a favorite price though probably they're an underdog in
- 40:22Speaker 2: the full, game BUT i think they're gonna be a
- 40:23Speaker 2: slight favorite in the first. Five so just noting that. There,
- 40:29Speaker 2: Yeah cincinnati At, seattle we got that game. Right Chase
- 40:33Speaker 2: BURNS i think exited the game with a three nothing
- 40:35Speaker 2: lead or. SOMETHING i think it was three nothing at
- 40:37Speaker 2: the end of. Five so that was one of the
- 40:39Speaker 2: winners on the show yesterday With. Cincinnati they held on
- 40:42Speaker 2: and won in the full. Game got a little bit
- 40:44Speaker 2: question about the, end but that's WHY i said go
- 40:46Speaker 2: first five With cincinnati because they're bullpen. Stinks this game
- 40:52Speaker 2: looks like it's gonna flip back To seattle based on
- 40:54Speaker 2: the starting pitching matchup. HERE i Think seattle is probably
- 40:57Speaker 2: gonna get this one to win the. Series, here the
- 41:00Speaker 2: teams have split the series so. FAR i Think seattle's
- 41:02Speaker 2: the better. Team seattle used two relief pitchers. Yesterday they
- 41:06Speaker 2: definitely have the better. Bullpen cincinnati also used five relief,
- 41:10Speaker 2: pitchers so pretty big bullpen edge For. Seattle. Here they're ranked,
- 41:14Speaker 2: twelveth BUT i think they're better than. That cincinnati is
- 41:18Speaker 2: where are they twenty? Eighth they're not quite that, bad
- 41:25Speaker 2: but they're pretty. BAD i Think seattle offensively has struggled
- 41:29Speaker 2: this year though they're twenty, seventh tied With San. DIEGO
- 41:33Speaker 2: i think they're better than, that but that still have
- 41:34Speaker 2: not really turned it, around and The reds are twenty,
- 41:37Speaker 2: first which is really not much. Better starting, Pitching cincinnati's
- 41:40Speaker 2: going With Brady. Singer he's not good four point five SIX,
- 41:44Speaker 2: era one point four to one. Whip he's been really
- 41:46Speaker 2: bad on the road six point one Four Roadie. RAY
- 41:49Speaker 2: i don't know what the deal is with him because
- 41:52Speaker 2: their home stadium is very hitter, friendly but he pitches
- 41:54Speaker 2: way better, there SO i have no. Idea and this
- 41:57Speaker 2: is a more pitcher friendly park In, seattle which maybe
- 42:00Speaker 2: means he's going to pitch better. HERE i don't. Know
- 42:02Speaker 2: singer has actually been better over his last couple of.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Starts he got his walk rate way down over the
- 42:07Speaker 2: last two. Starts he went seven plus innings in each
- 42:09Speaker 2: of them and allowed two or fewer runs in both of,
- 42:11Speaker 2: them so he is actually in pretty good form at
- 42:14Speaker 2: least over his last two. Starts over the course of the,
- 42:17Speaker 2: season he has not been very. Good has hit rate is,
- 42:20Speaker 2: high his home run rate is too, high walk rate
- 42:23Speaker 2: isn't too, bad strike out rate is not, great but
- 42:26Speaker 2: he's not really a strikeout. Pitcher Against. Seattle he does
- 42:29Speaker 2: actually do okay in ninety four at bats two thirty four,
- 42:32Speaker 2: average seven to sixteen. Ops seattle has definitely seen a
- 42:37Speaker 2: decent amount of him because he used to be in
- 42:39Speaker 2: The American league before last. YEAR i think he was
- 42:41Speaker 2: On Kansas. CITY i don't know Where zach is right,
- 42:44Speaker 2: now but shout out To zach and the chat. Wherever
- 42:47Speaker 2: he is twenty one to six strike out walk. Ratio
- 42:49Speaker 2: so this is not the worst matchup For Brady's singer,
- 42:52Speaker 2: here BUT i still think he's the lesser pitcher Against Emerson,
- 42:56Speaker 2: hancock who has definitely had a good season so, far
- 43:00Speaker 2: three point one SEVENTY, rra one point zero one whip For. Seattle.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Here hancock is really good at home two point nine
- 43:06Speaker 2: to two HOMEY. RA i don't know what happened in
- 43:09Speaker 2: his last. Start he pitched one to two thirds scoreless
- 43:12Speaker 2: Against Tampa bay and then exited the. Game i'm not
- 43:15Speaker 2: really sure what that. Was if there was a rain,
- 43:16Speaker 2: delay but it couldn't have been a rain. Delay it
- 43:18Speaker 2: was in the trop In Tampa, bay so in a roofed,
- 43:22Speaker 2: stadium SO i have no idea what happened in that.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Game looks like there's no cause for, alarm, though because
- 43:27Speaker 2: he is pitching on schedule. Today so, YEAH i don't
- 43:30Speaker 2: know what that. Was But hancock has been good for
- 43:32Speaker 2: pretty much the entire. Season he's got a low hit,
- 43:35Speaker 2: rate his walk rates pretty. Low strikeout rate is decent as,
- 43:38Speaker 2: Well so, YEAH i MEAN i like. Him he's pretty.
- 43:41Speaker 2: Good he's got good numbers Against cincinnati as. Well only
- 43:44Speaker 2: five of their hitters have faced him twenty at. Bats
- 43:47Speaker 2: they have no extra base hits against. Him two fifty,
- 43:49Speaker 2: average pretty, low five thirty six ops for, strikeouts one. Walk,
- 43:55Speaker 2: yeah so my preference would Be seattle in that one,
- 43:57Speaker 2: athough you're probably gonna have to lay a price to do.
- 43:59Speaker 2: It the price on. It let me, see where are
- 44:04Speaker 2: you seea out? There you are in inter? League, YEAH
- 44:07Speaker 2: i mean you're laying like minus one fifty something and
- 44:09Speaker 2: the money is actually going against them seventy eight percent of,
- 44:12Speaker 2: tickets seventy seven percent of the. Cash they're a public
- 44:15Speaker 2: side money backing the over eight for whatever that's. Worth
- 44:18Speaker 2: BUT i still Think seattle should, win. MAN i, mean
- 44:21Speaker 2: they got the better starter on the, mound they got
- 44:23Speaker 2: the better, bullpen the more rested bullpen as. Well, YEAH
- 44:28Speaker 2: i MEAN i would only be able to lean Towards seattle,
- 44:30Speaker 2: there like making a minus one run line or. Something All,
- 44:34Speaker 2: Right Saint louis And. ANAHEIM i got this game right
- 44:37Speaker 2: yesterday and didn't put it on my. Card Walbert urania
- 44:40Speaker 2: was really good again, Yesterday, MAN i told. You kind
- 44:45Speaker 2: of pisses me off that it wasn't on my. Card,
- 44:47Speaker 2: Now anaheim looks like they're on the version of a
- 44:50Speaker 2: sweep Of Saint. Louis So Saint louis might have a
- 44:53Speaker 2: little bit of extra motivation, here because when a team's
- 44:55Speaker 2: coming in trying to avoid a. Sweep usually that team
- 44:58Speaker 2: is going to be the more motivated. Side. ANAHEIM i
- 45:01Speaker 2: don't think they have a big series up. NEXT i
- 45:02Speaker 2: think they're Playing San francisco or something next starting On,
- 45:06Speaker 2: friday so it's not really a look ahead for. Them
- 45:08Speaker 2: But Saint louis might have the extra. Motivation the problem,
- 45:11Speaker 2: IS i don't like the starting pitching matchup For Saint louis,
- 45:15Speaker 2: here even THOUGH i Like. DOBBINS i, mean he's kind
- 45:18Speaker 2: of my, guy BUT i don't think he's that. Good
- 45:20Speaker 2: Saint louis used two relief pitchers, Yesterday anaheim used. Three
- 45:25Speaker 2: anaheim is the lesser bullpen. Here they're not good other twenty.
- 45:28Speaker 2: Second Saint louis is twenty, first BUT i think there
- 45:31Speaker 2: is a little bit of a gap. THERE i Think
- 45:34Speaker 2: anaheim is the worst of the two. Bullpens LIKE i think,
- 45:37Speaker 2: Definitively Saint louis is twenty fourth in. Offense The a's
- 45:41Speaker 2: have jumped back ahead of them at twenty. Third both
- 45:44Speaker 2: offenses have been, struggling, THOUGH i LIKE i, Said Saint
- 45:47Speaker 2: louis is going with The yankee hater, Himself Hunter, dobbins
- 45:52Speaker 2: formerly of The Boston Red. Sox BRIEFLY i like his,
- 45:56Speaker 2: attitude BUT i don't really love these numbers here that
- 45:59Speaker 2: he's posted so this. Year it's a limited sample, size
- 46:01Speaker 2: but four point zero THREE, rra one point three to
- 46:04Speaker 2: nine whip is not that. Good hasn't been good on the,
- 46:07Speaker 2: road six point two to three ROADY, ira so that's
- 46:09Speaker 2: kind of a. Problem he's been pitching just off and.
- 46:12Speaker 2: ON i don't know if he's BEEN i think he's
- 46:14Speaker 2: been up and down between the major league team and
- 46:16Speaker 2: the minor league. Teams so he's made whatever this, is
- 46:19Speaker 2: five major league starts so far the. Season he's been
- 46:22Speaker 2: up and down between majors and. Minors he's not going
- 46:25Speaker 2: deep into these. Starts he did finally go five innings
- 46:27Speaker 2: last time against The milwaukee though he wasn't particularly good
- 46:31Speaker 2: in that. Start his walk rate was really a problem.
- 46:33Speaker 2: THERE i don't know what he's gonna do. Here. Man,
- 46:36Speaker 2: overall his numbers are not really too bad on the.
- 46:39Speaker 2: Season his hit rate is kind of, average strike got
- 46:42Speaker 2: rate is a bit a little bit, high higher THAN
- 46:44Speaker 2: i thought it would. Be and his walk rate is
- 46:47Speaker 2: too high, though so he does walk too many. Guys
- 46:51Speaker 2: dobbins Against, anaheim they have thirteen at bats against, him
- 46:56Speaker 2: two thirty one average seven to forty seven, ops so
- 47:00Speaker 2: he's had the slight upper hand against The angels, offense
- 47:03Speaker 2: so he might actually do okay. Here The angels haven't
- 47:06Speaker 2: really been that good at home. Offensively The angels are
- 47:09Speaker 2: going With Reed, debtmers, though who is on my shit
- 47:12Speaker 2: list because we lost two starts Where i've tried to
- 47:14Speaker 2: back him. Recently but of course as soon AS i
- 47:18Speaker 2: jump off The debtmers, train he pitches really, well which
- 47:20Speaker 2: is what he did in his last. START i Think
- 47:22Speaker 2: dettmvers is good. Overall man four point one six Y
- 47:25Speaker 2: ray doesn't really look that, good but it's one point
- 47:27Speaker 2: one two whip that's pretty, solid so his era really
- 47:31Speaker 2: should be lower than it. Is he's basically the same
- 47:35Speaker 2: home and. Aways hear rays a little bit worse at
- 47:37Speaker 2: home four point, three but not really anything. Significant LIKE i,
- 47:41Speaker 2: said he bounced back really nicely after two pretty bad
- 47:43Speaker 2: starts where we got. Focked we lost two unders in those,
- 47:48Speaker 2: games first five, Unders i'm pretty sure because that first
- 47:52Speaker 2: game would have gone under in the full. GAME i hate, it,
- 47:55Speaker 2: MAN i hate. It but he bounced back WHEN i
- 47:57Speaker 2: decided to not be on the, game which MAYBE i should.
- 47:59Speaker 2: HAVE i THINK i had a lean to the first
- 48:00Speaker 2: five under in his most recent. GAME i think it
- 48:02Speaker 2: was him Against, melton who's been pitching really well For,
- 48:05Speaker 2: detroit and of course what. Happened it was a really
- 48:07Speaker 2: low scoring game And detmer Shut detroit out for six.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Innings so he looks like he's back in. Form. MAN
- 48:14Speaker 2: i know it's only one, start but if you look
- 48:16Speaker 2: at his overall, numbers he's pretty. Solid he's got a
- 48:19Speaker 2: low hit, rates walk rate is not really bad. Either
- 48:22Speaker 2: strike out rate is, high so a lot of good
- 48:25Speaker 2: indicators From detmer's numbers. Here numbers Against Saint louis are pretty.
- 48:29Speaker 2: Good in fifteen at bats to sixty seven average isn't really,
- 48:32Speaker 2: great but six forty six ops allowed is low, enough eight,
- 48:37Speaker 2: strikeouts one, walk SO i would PROBABLY i don't, know,
- 48:43Speaker 2: MAN i, mean the money's coming in On Saint, louis
- 48:45Speaker 2: BUT i kind of Like anaheim in the first five.
- 48:48Speaker 2: THERE i Think debtmer's is the pitcher with the more upside.
- 48:51Speaker 2: There they're at about minus one twenty Something, anaheim but
- 48:54Speaker 2: you know they're gonna be a heavier favorite than. That
- 48:56Speaker 2: in the first five you're probably looking at minus one thirty.
- 48:58Speaker 2: Something at least money is back In Saint louis fifty
- 49:01Speaker 2: nine percent of tickets eighty five percent of the cash on.
- 49:03Speaker 2: THEM i mean the situation Favors Saint, louis LIKE i,
- 49:07Speaker 2: said BUT i don't like the pitching matchup. Enough if
- 49:11Speaker 2: you're gonna Go anaheim, though LIKE i, said you should
- 49:13Speaker 2: go first five innings only because their bullpen is. Bad
- 49:16Speaker 2: so those are my thoughts on the. Game the money
- 49:19Speaker 2: is also backing the over eight and a. HALF i
- 49:21Speaker 2: MEAN i could see the argument for. HIM i, mean
- 49:23Speaker 2: you have one more questionable, PITCHER i, guess and then
- 49:26Speaker 2: the bullpens aren't really that. Good ALTHOUGH i don't know
- 49:29Speaker 2: first FIVE i actually might be looking leaning more towards
- 49:31Speaker 2: an under or what else is new with debt, mers
- 49:34Speaker 2: BECAUSE i Think, dobbins you, know his matchup numbers aren't
- 49:37Speaker 2: really that bad, here and Debt MES i think is actually,
- 49:41Speaker 2: Solid so first five under actually might make some sense
- 49:44Speaker 2: in that. Game that game's all over the, place man
- 49:47Speaker 2: And dodgers And phillies one of the big series that's
- 49:51Speaker 2: going on in the middle of the week. Here these
- 49:52Speaker 2: teams will split the first two. Games dodgers are able
- 49:55Speaker 2: to hang on to a two to one win. YESTERDAY
- 49:57Speaker 2: i think The phillies made a Ba he's running blunder
- 50:01Speaker 2: at the end of that, game which wound up being
- 50:03Speaker 2: what ended the game IF i remember. Correctly this, game,
- 50:06Speaker 2: though this is not going to be a very elite
- 50:08Speaker 2: starting pitching matchup for this. One The dodgers only used
- 50:12Speaker 2: two relief pitchers. Yesterday they do have the better bullpen as.
- 50:15Speaker 2: Well phillies used two as. Well The dodgers there ranked
- 50:19Speaker 2: seventh and. Bullpen their bullpen's been pretty, good better than last.
- 50:23Speaker 2: Year The phillies. Twentieth their bullpen's had some issues this.
- 50:26Speaker 2: Year dodgers are still number one in, offense and The
- 50:29Speaker 2: phillies have definitely had some offensive issues as. Well twenty.
- 50:33Speaker 2: Second although they're better at home at least at, Hitting
- 50:35Speaker 2: dodgers are going With eric Lower his numbers are getting
- 50:39Speaker 2: better on the. Season man. Was he was good last
- 50:42Speaker 2: year With. Toronto he was bad this year With. Toronto
- 50:44Speaker 2: toronto got rid of, him and it looks like he's
- 50:47Speaker 2: got some new, motivation newfound motivation with The dodgers because
- 50:51Speaker 2: he's kind of turned his season. Around he's pitched a
- 50:53Speaker 2: lot better with The dodgers since they got him a
- 50:55Speaker 2: four point eight one point two eight whip on the
- 50:58Speaker 2: season that includes all of It toronto. Starts he's been
- 51:02Speaker 2: a little bit better on the road this year four
- 51:04Speaker 2: point one to nine roadira with The, dodgers though his
- 51:08Speaker 2: first start with The, DODGERS i think this is. ACCURATE
- 51:10Speaker 2: i think it was This colorado. Start so he's now
- 51:13Speaker 2: made whatever that, is seven starts with The. Dodgers The
- 51:17Speaker 2: dodgers have won every single one of those. Games so
- 51:21Speaker 2: The dodgers have not lost a game That lower has
- 51:23Speaker 2: started for them this, season which sounds, crazy but it's.
- 51:27Speaker 2: True and some of it is that he's pitching. Better
- 51:29Speaker 2: he's allowed three or fewer earned runs in all of those.
- 51:31Speaker 2: Outings his strikeout rate hasn't really been that good, though
- 51:34Speaker 2: the rest of his number is pretty, good but the
- 51:36Speaker 2: strikeout rate is. Low i'm looking at his season wide numbers.
- 51:40Speaker 2: Here hit rate is pretty, low walk rate isn't really too.
- 51:42Speaker 2: Bad strike out rate very low, though which is maybe
- 51:46Speaker 2: a little bit concerning that he's just not striking anybody.
- 51:49Speaker 2: Out his numbers against The phillies are, good, though in
- 51:52Speaker 2: sixty seven at, bats one ninety four, average six twenty
- 51:55Speaker 2: three oh, ps twenty to five strike out walk. Ratio
- 51:59Speaker 2: so a lot of things that look like they kind
- 52:01Speaker 2: of Favor lour here, right like good matchup numbers better
- 52:05Speaker 2: on the. Road dodgers have won every start that he's
- 52:09Speaker 2: made for them so, far and he's not having to
- 52:11Speaker 2: face one of the phillies better. Pitchers so the thing
- 52:14Speaker 2: about The phillies is they have a really really good
- 52:17Speaker 2: record when they have one of their top three pitchers,
- 52:20Speaker 2: pitching which Is, Sanchez wheeler And. Lozardo, obviously those three pitchers,
- 52:27Speaker 2: going The phillies have like a ridiculously positive, record but
- 52:30Speaker 2: when anybody else pitches for, them they have like a
- 52:32Speaker 2: ridiculously negative, record like really. Bad LIKE i think something
- 52:37Speaker 2: along the lines of like fourteen and thirty one or
- 52:40Speaker 2: something like. THAT i think that's around what The phillies record.
- 52:42Speaker 2: Is if if it's anybody besides those three pitchers starting for,
- 52:47Speaker 2: them well today it is anybody besides those three. Pitchers
- 52:51Speaker 2: one of their good pitchers is not pitching. Today Aaron
- 52:53Speaker 2: nola is, pitching and he has not been able to
- 52:56Speaker 2: recover from his. Injuries, man he used to be. Good
- 52:59Speaker 2: he is not good right. Now since like last year
- 53:03Speaker 2: WHEN i tried to come back from that injury hasn't worked.
- 53:06Speaker 2: Out he's got a five point six to eighty array this,
- 53:08Speaker 2: year one point four or five whip not. Good he's
- 53:11Speaker 2: been bad at home six point Five Homie, ray so
- 53:14Speaker 2: he's in the worst of his home road splitz. Here
- 53:17Speaker 2: he's looked a little bit better this. Month i'll give him.
- 53:19Speaker 2: That his three starts this month haven't really been that
- 53:21Speaker 2: bad except last time. Out four walks against The mets
- 53:24Speaker 2: isn't really that. Good and we had a winner on that.
- 53:26Speaker 2: One that Was Christian scott getting us a win in
- 53:29Speaker 2: that one on the, show so that was. Good nola
- 53:32Speaker 2: got a little bit lucky in that. One they needed
- 53:33Speaker 2: to allow more runs based on the fact that he
- 53:36Speaker 2: put ten guys on base and gave up three home
- 53:39Speaker 2: runs and somehow will only love three. Runs that's The
- 53:42Speaker 2: mets offense for, You. Nola he's got a high hit
- 53:45Speaker 2: rate on the, season not. Good he's a lot of
- 53:47Speaker 2: a lot of home. Runs his walk rate isn't too
- 53:49Speaker 2: bad on his strike cut rate is actually pretty. Good
- 53:51Speaker 2: so his command it's really weird because his command is
- 53:55Speaker 2: actually there and his strike gut stuff kind of tells
- 53:57Speaker 2: you his stuff isn't really, gone but he's been way
- 54:00Speaker 2: too hittable at the same. Time SO i don't, know,
- 54:03Speaker 2: man you, KNOW i mean the fact that home runs
- 54:07Speaker 2: are still kind of. Fluky he might be able to
- 54:09Speaker 2: get these numbers turned around a little. BIT i don't
- 54:11Speaker 2: know if it's gonna happen, here but he does actually
- 54:13Speaker 2: pitch well, historically at least against The dodgers in two
- 54:16Speaker 2: hundred and thirty seven at bats two twenty eight to
- 54:20Speaker 2: average six fifty six, ops forty one strike got sixteen.
- 54:23Speaker 2: Walks it's a lot of. Walks though it's a lot
- 54:26Speaker 2: of at. Bats Freddy freeman has a ton of, them seventy. Six,
- 54:29Speaker 2: NOW i don't know if we should really take away
- 54:33Speaker 2: that much from those, Numbers like, obviously most of those
- 54:36Speaker 2: numbers were accumulated When nola was actually a good, pitcher
- 54:39Speaker 2: which he is not, Anymore SO i would not read
- 54:42Speaker 2: into those numbers a, ton even though it is a
- 54:44Speaker 2: huge sample. Size maybe he will pitch well. HERE i
- 54:48Speaker 2: guess you could make an argument for like a first
- 54:50Speaker 2: five under in this. Game both starting pitchers might actually
- 54:54Speaker 2: do okay here and better than you would think because
- 54:57Speaker 2: they're both not considered to be good right. Now full
- 54:59Speaker 2: game total is pretty high at nine and a, half
- 55:01Speaker 2: though money is somewhat back in the the over in the.
- 55:05Speaker 2: Game BUT i still think my preference in this game
- 55:07Speaker 2: would be to play The. Dodgers they're a fairly cheap
- 55:11Speaker 2: price at minus one twenty or maybe even a little
- 55:13Speaker 2: bit less than. THAT i, know road, favorite typically you're
- 55:18Speaker 2: not gonna get value on The, dodgers BUT i don't, know.
- 55:20Speaker 2: MAN i mean The. Dodgers they've been an underdog in
- 55:23Speaker 2: the other two games in this series because they had
- 55:25Speaker 2: to Face sanchez And, wheeler but that means this should
- 55:28Speaker 2: be a bit of a reprieve for The dodgers and
- 55:30Speaker 2: they get to Face, nola, now who's a big time
- 55:33Speaker 2: step down from those other two, pitchers and LOWER i
- 55:36Speaker 2: gave you the. Numbers he's actually been good with The
- 55:38Speaker 2: dodgers pretty much so. Far SO i think The dodgers
- 55:41Speaker 2: is probably the right play. Here eighty percent of, tickets
- 55:44Speaker 2: eighty nine percent of the cash on. Them i'd go
- 55:46Speaker 2: full game BECAUSE i think they have the bullpen advantage as.
- 55:49Speaker 2: Well so, YEAH i, Mean dodgers have been a reasonable
- 55:52Speaker 2: price on them all, series and some of the guys
- 55:54Speaker 2: that do like the market stuff will say, well if
- 55:57Speaker 2: you're getting The dodgers an underdog in the first two,
- 56:00Speaker 2: games and you shouldn't play them as a favorite. Here
- 56:02Speaker 2: BUT i don't really think about it that. Way AND
- 56:04Speaker 2: i told you the reason they were the underdog in
- 56:06Speaker 2: the first two games because they were facing basically elite,
- 56:09Speaker 2: pitchers And nola is not that at. All so all,
- 56:14Speaker 2: Right minnesota And. Cleveland it's a, long a long show, here,
- 56:18Speaker 2: man because we had to cover two double. Headers hold,
- 56:20Speaker 2: on how many games DO i have left to cover?
- 56:22Speaker 2: Here i'm gonna take a break AFTER i cover this.
- 56:26Speaker 2: GAME i already covered the night games of the, doubleheaders
- 56:29Speaker 2: so they'll be five more games after. This but THEN
- 56:31Speaker 2: i have a lot OF wnba to, cover AND i
- 56:33Speaker 2: do have A wnba. Play cleveland is on the vergion of,
- 56:37Speaker 2: well actually they're not on the vergi of Sweet they
- 56:38Speaker 2: won the first two games Against. Minnesota but this series continues,
- 56:42Speaker 2: tomorrow so keep that in. MIND a few of these
- 56:46Speaker 2: series continue. Tomorrow in, fact the only new series tomorrow
- 56:50Speaker 2: Is Kansas city Of, detroit and the rest of the
- 56:52Speaker 2: games being played tomorrow continuations of the current. Series So
- 56:58Speaker 2: cleveland's won the first two games of this, series so
- 57:00Speaker 2: of Our, minnesota they're really not that good of a,
- 57:03Speaker 2: team and it's really because they're pitching is. Bad but
- 57:05Speaker 2: they couldn't even win With Joe ryan on the. Mound
- 57:07Speaker 2: we got fucked in that first. Game AND i can't
- 57:09Speaker 2: believe how Bad Joe ryan was in that. ONE i
- 57:12Speaker 2: went with the first five under in that, one And
- 57:14Speaker 2: Joe ryan was absolutely atrocious in that. Game it was
- 57:18Speaker 2: his worst start of his. Career probably made no sense at.
- 57:21Speaker 2: All On minnesota's bullpen is. Trash they used four guys.
- 57:24Speaker 2: Yesterday cleveland has the better. Bullpen they used four as,
- 57:28Speaker 2: well But cleveland is ranked fourteenth and bullpen The twins
- 57:32Speaker 2: are twenty, ninth really, Bad so, Yeah cleveland obviously better
- 57:36Speaker 2: in that. Department minnesota is the better. Offense minnesota is,
- 57:39Speaker 2: ninth tied with The. Brewers cleveland moved back up to twenty.
- 57:43Speaker 2: Six they were dead last, yesterday but they had an
- 57:47Speaker 2: offensive outburst or actually two days ago that must have.
- 57:50Speaker 2: Been but they climbed out of that last spot really
- 57:53Speaker 2: easily with that thirteen run out, burst some of it
- 57:56Speaker 2: Against Joe, ryan and then they put up five. Yesterday
- 57:59Speaker 2: So cleveland is putting up some runs against This minnesota.
- 58:02Speaker 2: Pitching maybe they'll be able to still do that. Here
- 58:05Speaker 2: this pitching matchup is not particularly. Good Bailey ober is
- 58:09Speaker 2: pitching for The twins. Here he's been alright this season
- 58:12Speaker 2: four point three TWO, era one point one to nine
- 58:14Speaker 2: whip is not too. Bad he's been significantly worse on
- 58:17Speaker 2: the road six point Nine Roady ray with a three
- 58:19Speaker 2: to h three opponent batting average that's not. Good was
- 58:23Speaker 2: pretty good in his last two, starts, though one of
- 58:25Speaker 2: them on the road At, wrigley so that's a decent.
- 58:27Speaker 2: Sign he pitched well in that, environment and he pitched
- 58:30Speaker 2: Against cleveland in the start before. Then it did pitch
- 58:32Speaker 2: well in that one, too that was at home At.
- 58:35Speaker 2: Minnesota but at least you could say With ober that
- 58:38Speaker 2: he is pitching well. Recently over his last two. Starts
- 58:41Speaker 2: he's got a decent hit rate on the season's walk
- 58:43Speaker 2: rates not bad. Either strikeout rate not so. Good but
- 58:48Speaker 2: he's not really a strikeout, pitcher even though he's. Huge
- 58:50Speaker 2: he's six.' nine you think he'd have like, harder stuff
- 58:53Speaker 2: like better. STRIKEOUT stuff i think he's the tallest pitcher
- 58:57Speaker 2: in base, or no. He's Not noah schultz is the
- 58:59Speaker 2: tallest now at, six' ten but. OBER six Nine I
- 59:02Speaker 2: think uri perez is like six eight. Or, SIX nine
- 59:05Speaker 2: anyway i like Tall men Man. Ober against cleveland he's
- 59:10Speaker 2: been good throughout his career ninety, eight AT bats two,
- 59:12Speaker 2: o four average five point, fifty four ohps twenty to three.
- 59:16Speaker 2: Strikeout walk, ratio so yeah he's had the upper hand
- 59:19Speaker 2: in this matchup in. A Big sample so ober may
- 59:22Speaker 2: very well. Pitched well here even though he hasn't been good.
- 59:26Speaker 2: On the road this looks like a good, matchup for
- 59:28Speaker 2: him and he's at least in good. Form Right now
- 59:30Speaker 2: slate chacone Is. PITCHING for cleveland i don't. Really trust
- 59:33Speaker 2: him four point five, to five yr one point one
- 59:36Speaker 2: point four to one whip. That's not good he is
- 59:39Speaker 2: a little bit better at home Four Point, eight homie
- 59:42Speaker 2: ray but his opponent batting average is bad both. Home
- 59:44Speaker 2: and away. Doesn't really matter he wasn't really good in
- 59:47Speaker 2: his Last, outing against minnesota, by the way and then
- 59:50Speaker 2: he missed a, start or something or they skipped a.
- 59:53Speaker 2: Start for him he hasn't Pitched Since that. Cleveland Minnesota
- 59:56Speaker 2: series so ober had another start. After that series, chak
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: HAS not so i don't know. Do with that info,
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: What you want but both pitchers are recently familiar to.
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: The OPPOSING offenses but i don't think it matters in
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: this case because these offenses are familiar with. These PITCHERS
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: anyway so i don't really think it's. Gonna matter much
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: it's not gonna help the. Offenses that much chacone has
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: a pretty, bad hit rate. It's pretty high his walk,
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: rate is mediocre. Strike out, Rate excuse me i'm not
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: Very good Either, chaconi against minnesota he's been alright in thirty,
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: five at bats two, fifty seven average five ninety two
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: o ps eight one strike. Out walk ratio maybe he could.
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: Pitch well here this is a hard game. To, figure
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: out man the money is All. Back in minnesota they're
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: a little bit. Of an underdog minus one twenty something
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: is The. Price on cleveland if You're, GONNA back minnesota
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: i would say only do it in. THE first five
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: i might not, disagree with that but obviously you can't.
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: Include their bullpen seventy percent Of, tickets on cleveland eighty
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: five percent of The. Cash on, MINNESOTA but yeah i
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: don't Really disagree with minnesota in. THE first five i
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: think they're gonna come out with some effort trying to avoid.
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: The sweet peer, AND you know I mean as, I
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: had said i think ober probably does have the upper
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: hand in the starting pitching matchup better recent, form at
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: least and probably just overall of the, somewhat better pitcher
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: better whip and whatever the over is getting some money
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: as well. AT over eight, I don't KNOW i don't
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: i don't really have a good. Feel for that it
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: could be a first five under given that both pitchers
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: actually have a decent matchup. FOR themselves there. I don't
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: know i'll. BE right back i already talked about The
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: doubleheader between Pittsburgh and The Yankees, and baltimore boston so
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: five games left to. Talk about here i'll. Be. Right,
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: BACK yep inside i want. To kill myself WE were
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: on own seven run over the last two. Days after

- 1:02:17Speaker 2: four that have not had. A, good season man with
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: Wookends slump, that i'm on and, The slump continues i've reached. A,

- 1:02:56Speaker 2: it did not go. Well for, me own five the
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: Worst month that i've ever had in my eighteen. YEARS
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: doing this i don't know what to even tell you.
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: About this anymore, Slump series discontinues. The slump continues somebody, fucking.
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: KILL me please i don't EVEN know what i should do,
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: at this point other than potentially end it, All all Right.
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: Tampa and toronto this, series Continues tomorrow but tampa has
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: won both games in the SERIES of our i thought they.
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: WOULD win yesterday i was kind Of surprised that tampa
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: beatdylln't cease in the first game yesterday looked Like It
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: favored Tampa bay with rasmussen. On the mountain he did
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: bounce back with a. Good start yesterday what do we
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: do with? THIS one, though i mean it doesn't really
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: Look great for toronto really, in this one even though
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: they should have a motivational edge here because they're trying to,
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: avoid a sweep although they could do. That tomorrow, TOO
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: but yeah i think the Pitching matchup favors tampa. In
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: This one tampa bay used three relief Pitchers just today
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: toronto used. THREE as well I still think toronto might
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: have the, better bullpen here, The Ranked thirteenth tampa, bay's
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: Ranked six but toronto has the. Better e, ray IT'S
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: close but i think the argument is definitely. There for
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: that the argument For Anything but tampa bay being the better.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: Offense Doesn't exist tampa bay is definitely. The better offense
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: the rank sixth Tie, with the YANKEES even though i
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: don't think. They're That good but toronto is now dead last.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: Thirtieth in offense their offense. Has been terrible they're gonna
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: have to Go Up against. Griffin, JACKS here, jacks i
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: mean he's kind of he's, a converted reliever but he's.
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: He's been alright four, point eighty ra one point two.
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: To seven whip not as good on, the road though
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: four point Four To six roady ray and we got
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: screwed in. HIS last start i gave out an under
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: in that Game Against, the red sox and he gave
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: up seven runs. In five innings but he wasn't. Even
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: that bad he, had six. Strikeouts one walk it was a,
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: little bit hittable gave, up eight hits but his, command
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: WAS there so i don't really know how he got
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: tagged for. THAT many runs I Guess the red sox
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: team that is still really not that good, of an
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: offense even though they've. Been better, Recently for, sure jack's
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: overall including all of, his relief appearances he's got a pretty,
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: low hit rate pretty. Low, WALK rate well i walk,
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: RATE is OKAY i guess i should say strike out
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: rate is actually still pretty good more than, one per
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: inning so. That's not Bad jacks against toronto has. Been
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: pretty good sixty, four at bats two, h three average
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: six seventy, six oh ps eleven to nine strikeout walk ratio,
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: is not good but the rest of those numbers. Are
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: pretty good He did face toronto, earlier this year went
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: five shutout innings against Them here in Toronto back, on
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: may thirteenth though he walked four guys in those five
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: innings and, had one strikeout so that's a little bit of.
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: A red flag but he's generally been pretty good Against
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: him in toronto's going with A. Bullpen game Toronto's He's
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: got bradon fisher listed. As a starter, he's been good
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: but he's only gonna go like one or two innings,
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: HERE probably probably i would say closer to one would.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: Be more accurate he hasn't really gone more than one inning,
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: that MUCH here so i think it's just gonna be
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: a full Bullpen game. For toronto Here who does, Toronto,
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: even have like who's gonna even be? IN behind him
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: i guess you gotta look five games back to try to.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: Figure that out that was a twelve four loss they
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Had To. The white, Sox, that was yeah it was
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: a complete bullpen Game From the patrick corbin was in
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: the mix there. FOR that one. I don't know it
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: doesn't seem very good To, me FOR toronto though i
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: definitely have underrated their bullpen, games A bit but i don't.
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: LIKE it here i think This Game is tampa. Bay or,
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: pass You Know maybe tampa bay in, the FIRST five
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: because I think, The TORONTO'S bullpen but i don't Even
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: know if toronto's bullpen really, has an edge especially if
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: they're going. Bullpen game here maybe just simplify it And
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: just take tampa as a, small underdog here but the
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: motivational factors are not. Really for that so seventy nine,
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: percent of tickets ninety percent of The, cash on tampa
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: so it does look, like they're public but maybe some
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: of the actual Money is on. Tampa as well there'll
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: be a small underdog here and the totals at eight
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: and the over is. GETTING some traction, i, DON'T know,
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: MAN i mean i think it all kind of depends
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: on what you think you're gonna Get out, Of jacks
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: here like is he gonna return to form? Here a
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: bit or is he gonna have? Another BAD start that's
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: i think that's really the most unpredictable aspect. Of, THAT
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: game ACTUALLY i Think i Think toronto's bull. TORONTO'S bullpend
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: game i guess it's kind, Of unpredictable, TOO so, yeah
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: i mean you COULD see why i don't want to.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: Play That game San. Diego in atlanta this is another series, That.
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: Continues Tomorrow, arizona saint louis, by the way also does
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: so ACTUALLY scratch. WHAT i Said I said saint louis
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: is trying to. Avoid the, sweep, oh no wait that's. A,
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: new series. Yeah never, Mind So yeah saint louis is
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: trying to. Avoid, A Swep yeah Saint louis and arizona
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: starting a. New series tomorrow my apology. Is my mistake
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: so three series that are going on Today Continue, Tomorrow, San, Diego,
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: atlanta Minnesota Cleveland And. Tampa bay, Toronto All right San,
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: diego and atlanta they've split the. Series so far atlanta
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: won the first game and then lost badly yesterday. EIGHT
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: to Three i thought atlanta had. The, upper hand yes
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: really They Lost to. Walker Bueller. Yesterday REALLY bueller maybe
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: i Should Get the ferris bueller clip go back to,
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: some drops here use That Just for walker bueller before baseball,
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: season is over but before he's out of. The, league
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: forever sorry he's just. Not That good san diego used four,
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: relief Pitchers Yesterday, including mason miller although he hadn't pitched,
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: for a while so maybe he'll be able to. Be
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: Available again today atlanta. Only used two these are. Two
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: good bultpens, atlanta's number ONE, although they're era is second,
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: best right now well third Really Behind the red Sox.
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: And The yankees san. Diego's ranked, ELEVENTH you know I
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: like their i mean A Bullpen with mason miller and
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: is pretty much always. Gonna be good well maybe Not
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: because the a's bullpen wasn't that good when they, had
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: But yeah san diego's. Bullpen, Is Good offensively san diego.
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: Is not good they're twenty Seventh and the braves are
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: better than that there where, They at eleventh so there
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: is an offensive mismatch here a Little, bit FOR atlanta
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: but i think. Pitching Overcomes that and atlanta hasn't hit that,
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: well at home and they're gonna have To Deal. With
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: Michael king michael King Is probably san. DIEGO'S best, starter
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: i mean they don't really have many other starters. Are
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: any good he's got a three POINT three four era
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: one point. One six whip he's still pretty good on
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: the road three point Six to two rodyra it's a,
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: little bit worse. But not bad he's been. Pretty consistent
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: recently he's been. Pitching all right he's got a low
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: hit rate. On the season his walk rate is a,
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: little bit high so that's a little bit of. A
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: concern there strike out rate is, not really high so
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: he doesn't really. Strike guys out but he's been, pretty
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: effective generally and he's been Good against the braves. In
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: the past and seventy eight at bats two, thirty one
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: average allowed five forty one ohps twenty to three strike,
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: out walk ratio so king it looks like he should pitch.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: Pretty Well, here martine perez, the old timer is coming
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: back from the injured list to Pitch for, the braves
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: here and he was having a surprisingly good season before
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: he went down a three point five forty one point one.
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: TO nine, whip i mean he's an old man and
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: he is, a junk pitcher but, he's you know he knows,
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: how to pitch like. That's the thing and he's pitched pretty,
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: well this year and he's been good at home two
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: point nine to eight. HOME e ray i have been
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: thinking there's some regression in store, for him though and
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: he wasn't really that good over his last three starts.
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: Before going down one of Them Was, at san diego,
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: by the way more pitcher, friendly park there and he struggled,
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: through that start had a lot of walks. In that
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: one and he's walked a lot of guys really in his,
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: last three starts and he's failed to make it five
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: innings in two, of the three so he is falling off.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: A little bit and those Starts Are, Against San diego
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: saint Louis, and the mets so not facing really. Good
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: offenses there maybe there was something going on with the
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: whatever his, Injury situation was maybe that had something to.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: Do WITH it but i don't Know how trustworthy? Perez
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: this year? OH wait what i don't know why that didn't?
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: Load for, ME hang on I hate out espn when
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: the guy's, injured or whatever they get rid of the
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: batter versus, picture, tab entirely, like, come on man There
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: we go Perez. Against the padres he's been okay in
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: ninety at bats, to, sixty seven average seven to, twenty
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: six ops fourteen to thirteen strike out walk ratio is definitely,
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: not good though although nine of Those walks Or bogart's
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: and machado so do with that info. WHAT you Want
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: I think san diego is the way to look. In
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: that game you're gonna get them is a little bit.
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: Of an underdog the public is Probably gonna. Play atlanta
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: here uh, Let, me see yeah fifty one percent Of.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: Tickets around atlanta they're, not heavily public but, they're slightly
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: public and the Money Is backing san diego. Fifty seven
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: percent so THAT is what i would do. IN THAT
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: game i i was. Gonna play it money's back in
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: the over eight and, a HALF too but i don't
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: have a good. READ on that I, think, king well actually,
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: you know what You Could go san diego First five
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: because atlanta does have a, pretty good bullpen and they
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: might have a, Bullpen edge here so if you want
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: to just focus on, the starting pitching maybe that's the
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: best way. To Play This take san diego in, the
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: first five but you won't get as good of a
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: price like you'll get them as an underdog in. The
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: full game but they might be a slight favorite in.
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: The first five but even, if they are that's not
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: really that bad. Of, A price yeah i think that's
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: probably the best approach Is First five san diego money
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: line In that One detroit and chicago are GONNA, be On,
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: espn the Cubs Not, the white sox an INTERLEAGUE. Game
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: On espn the Cubs blasted. From brevaldez yesterday i'm not
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: happy about. THAT at all i don't know. How that
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: happened they won the game. Eleven to two and on,
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: THE other side i have No Idea how david peterson actually,
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: pitched really well that. WAS just insane i don't know
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: how anybody could have predicted. Any of, that, such bullshit
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: dude this has been a split series of both teams
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: probably show. Up for this detroit used. TWO relief, pitchers i,
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: said oh god there's, gonna be maintenance but not during
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: THE window where i for this rotal WIRE site that
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: i used for, the bullpen usage but not during THE
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: hours that. I usually, Go so whatever cubs. Didn't use
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: anybody that's NOT right Because i know peterson. Went SIX
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: innings but i think what it Was is the cubs
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: probably used like one of their long relief men, slash
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: spot starters probably pitched, and relief yesterday so he's not listed.
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: In this table that's probably. What they did so they
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: did rest most of. Their bullpen yesterday as far as the.
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: Bullpens Are concerned the cubs bullpen. Has struggled recently they're
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: down to, sixteenth right. Now not great, detroit is nineteenth
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: but they HAVE, A BETTER era so i think it's
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: close between the. Two bullpens here they're both. Kind of
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: mediocre cubs are, fourth and offense they're the. Better offensive team.
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: Detroit is nineteenth Detroit's Going, with keeter montero who has
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: been pitching him relief. For a bit now he's back in.
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: The starting rotation he's put up good numbers this year
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: three POINT two two era point NINE. To eight whip
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: he's been good on the road two POINT five nine
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: roadi with a oppon a batting average of one. Point,
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: fifty three yeah he's been good. On the road we'll
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: see what he could do going back into. The starting
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: rotation and when he was in, the starting rotation he
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: was going pretty deep into a lot. OF these games
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: i don't really know why they took him out of,
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: the starting rotation but he's been in the bullpen for,
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: a bit now but he, was PITCHING well so i don't.
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: REALLY know why i think it must have been because school,
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: bull Came back right that must. Have been it so
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: even though he, Was pitching well school bull came back
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: and they actually Decided to replace montero in. The starting.
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: ROTATION yeah, WEIRD i mean i think it's because that's
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: just kind. OF his role i think that's why. They
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: did that but he was. Pitching pretty well he's got a,
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: low hit rate. Low walk rate his strikeout rate is
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: not good though he doesn't, strike guys out but he's
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: been pitching Effectively for a Numbers against the cubs are,
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: not good though eighteen at bats not, a big sample
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: but two, seventy eight average twelve thirty, nine oh ps
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: five to two strike. Out walk ratio not convinced that
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: he's gonna. Pitch well. HERE he might i think he's
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: a little bit hard to predict. In, THIS one generally
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: i think he's the Better Pitcher, over colin ray but as,
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: You're gonna see ray has the better. Matchup numbers here
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: he's Pitching. For, the cubs here he's not really been
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: that good four point Seven to forty ray one point.
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: Four to whip he is good, at home though two
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: point nine to. Four homey ra so both starting pitchers
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: are in the better of their. Home. Road splits here
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: ray has been in. Okay form recently his last few starts, have,
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: been alright really his last like five starts. Have been
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: decent he's allowed three or four earned runs and all
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: of them not really bad command. Numbers, There either necessarily
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: he's got a somewhat high hit rate, on the season
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: those walk, rate is okay his strike out. Rate is
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: low he doesn't really strike Guys, out against detroit though
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: they have, thirteen at bats, very small sample only five guys,
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: have faced them only one hit though it's A. Single
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: from torkosen they have an seventy seven average and two twenty,
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: ops against them with two strikeouts. In One walk so
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: ray has been able to shut them down in a
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: small sample size when he. Has faced them does that
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: mean we want to Look towards? THE cubs here, i.
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: DON'T know man i mean you could make the argument
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: For it that ray has a Matchup, edge over montero
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: but the money's all Coming, in on detroit, just like
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: yesterday and that still didn't. Help the market reid agreed with,
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: my play yesterday although it was a full, game market
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: read but still sixty three percent of Tickets, on the
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: cobs ninety two percent of The casual on detroit strong
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: Market read. TOWARDS detroit here i think the Feeling is
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: that montero is just generally the Better. Pitcher over ray
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: and ONE thing that i, will say is if you're gonna,
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: PLAY this game i think You should play detroit action
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: because you don't know if they're gonna put an opener In.
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: Front of montero you have no idea what, they're gonna
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: do like they've done that. Before this year, sometimes he
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: starts some times he has an opener in. Front of
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: him sometimes he just comes out. Of the, BULLPEN so
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: yeah i mean that IS probably what, i would do
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: because he's. Probably gonna pitch it's just a matter of
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: will they put an opener in front of. Him or
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: not chicago is a slight favorite there minus won. Twenty
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: or so the money's also back in the over the,
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: totals at eight so that means you know that there's
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: not really a win factor. In this game in regularly
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: it looks like a pretty, average total there so probably
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: not a lot of win going on. In that one
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: do with that, VO you want i don't really have
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: a good, read. ON it man i mean my slight
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: lean was Gonna be towards chicago in the first five
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: just based on the. Matchup NUMBERS there but i don't
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: feel strongly about. It at, All All right White. Sox
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: In texas white sox won the first game, ten to
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: Three and then texas won ten to. Not thing yesterday
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: it's been a hard series, to, figure out man both games.
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: Have gone over texas rested. Their bullpen yesterday for, the
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: most part they only us one guy out. OF the,
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: bullpen i mean kind of a long RELIEF role or
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: i already forget who. We're Talking About. The, white Sox Yeah.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: THE white sox i used two guys out of. The
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: Bullpen YESTERDAY texas generally i would say they have, the
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: better bullpen but that hasn't really been. The case recently.
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: THEY'VE been bad i don't know what's going. On with
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: them they dropped all the. Way to fifteenth they were
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: like an elite, bullpen last year pretty. CLOSE to it
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: i don't know what they're doing this. Year At fifteenth white.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: Sox are seventeenth but their era is Actually. Better than
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: texas so if there's not much of a disparity with these,
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: two bullpens here there isn't really much. One offensively, either
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: Right Now the white. Sox are thirteenth, texas is fifteenth Tied.
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: WITH the giants I Think the white sox are, the
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: BETTER offense So i think texas a, little bit overrated
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: and they don't really score that. Well at home this, starting,
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: pitching matchup though. Looks pretty ugly Chicago's Going with ANTHONY
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: kay who i don't think is particularly good four POINT,
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: two four era one point three, to seven whip very.
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: Mediocre at best he's not good on the road five
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: point eight roady rail those opponent batting average, is actually
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: LOWER but his era is. A lot worse he's a
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: lot a lot of. Road home runs he's not really.
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: Pitching well recently three of his last four starts he
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: didn't make. It five innings not really a whole lot.
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: To like here he's not really allowing, that many runs
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: but he's. Serviceable at best his hit rate is, actually
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: reasonably low as WALK rate is i would. Say too
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: high his strike gout rate, is not high so he
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: doesn't really. Strike guys out he has some, issues with
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: command doesn't go. Deep into outings texas has a very
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: small sample seven at. Bats against them three hitters have
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: faced him but they've all had. Hits off him they
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: have a four to, twenty nine average eleven, forty three
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: ohps one strike out. In no walks it's such a
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: small sample size it's hard to figure out. Anything FROM
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: that but i just don't think, he's that good and
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: he's not good. ON the Roads i think kay is.
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: Definitely Fatable here and texas looks like they're going with
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: a Boltpen Game with tyler alexander listed. As a starter
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: he's been a relief. Pitcher from them he's, been all
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: right two point seventy ninety are one point three. To
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: one whip but he's not gonna go deep. Into this
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: game he's probably gonna, be an opener basically gonna. Go
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: one inning and my guess Is that what texas is
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: doing is They're gonna have alexander pitch the first inning
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: and then they're gonna Go with cal quantrell because it's
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: his turn. In The rotation so i'm pretty sure that's what.
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: They're doing here, let me say and If, it is
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: quantrill let me just bring him. Up real quick he's
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: got a three point NINE to three era one point two.
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: To nine whip he was not good in his last
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: down And. He gets atlanta. He got blasted he pitched
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: Pretty well against houston the, start BEFORE then and i
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: think costs us a play. On the show i'm pretty
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: sure when we're trying To, fade Him Quantrill the white
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: socks haven't really seen. Much of him three hitters, have
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: seen him but they have thirty two at. Bats Against
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: him Ben Intending And great chuck i've both seen him
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: a lot two, eighty one average eight, oh three ops
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: seven to one strike, a walk. RATIO small sample i
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: don't know what you really do With That'll the white
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: socks have been able. To hit him so if this
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: is what's, going on here it's gonna be k Versus
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: basically cal quandrill slash Bullpen. GAME for texas i think
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: it might, be, an over dude and watch watch this
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: game be the only game in the series. To go, Under,
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: you know texas it's been an under, haven this season
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: but it's balanced. Out. A bit uh they've had a
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: lot of recent games go over the, total at home
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: and this entire series would wind up going over if.
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: THIS game does i think that is probably the approach,
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: in this game is to go over the eight and
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: a half here sixty three, percent of tickets eighty seven
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: percent of the cash. On the over the money Is
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: back in texas sixty two percent of tickets Are On,
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: the white sox fifty two percent of The cash on
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: texas at about Minus one. TEN pickham price i. WOULDN'T do,
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: THAT i mean i can't find a way to back
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: either of these, Pitchers here, REALLY so yeah i think
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: it over makes the most sense. In that one and
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: then you're getting, mediocre bultpends too so They. Can go
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: texas bullpen has. Been really struggling then We have On
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: miami and houston is the last game. On the board
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: miami's trying to avoid, getting swept here so they're in
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: That spot where houston's won the first two games. Of
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: the series this series is. NOT continuing tomorrow I don't
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: believe houston has a really. BIG series next i forget,
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: who THEY'RE playing but i don't really think it's a.
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: Look ahead spot Let me say, houston, is playing well
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: They're Playing, the white sox So Maybe. The white, sox
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: you Know They're an american league team that might make the,
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: playoffs THIS year and i think they're still, Leading their
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: Divisions so maybe houston will look Ahead To the white sox.
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: A little bit but, THE pitching matchup i don't think
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: i'd Want. To fade houston given what this. Pitching matchup
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: is their bullpen. Might be fadable they used three. Relieve
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: pitchers yesterday miami used. Three as well miami's got. The better.
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: Bullpen they're fourth, houston is eighteenth, not particularly good although they've.
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: Been BETTER recently as, I keep saying miami, EIGHTH in
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: offensive i don't think they're. QUITE that good i think
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: their numbers got skewed by some hit or friendly stadiums.
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: They played in houston, is FOURTEENTH offensively but i think
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: these offenses are closely. Matched pitching wise both pitchers. Might.
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: Be good Here sandy al condra is Pitching, from the,
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: MARLINS you, KNOW i mean, i keep saying, despite the
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: limitations after all of his arm issues and, surgeries and
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: whatever he's still pitching. Well right now three POINT, eight
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: two era one point. Two to whip he's never gonna
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: be what, he once was but he's, still pitching alright
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: although he's been worse on. The road though four point
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: Four To eight roady ray with a much worse, opponent
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: batting average so he might be vulnerable here. On the
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: road although he's been good in his in all of
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: his starts this. Month so far, high strikeout rate pretty,
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: low walk right although he walked four guys Last, time
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: against milwaukee and that was A game where i was
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: very close to giving out the under in THAT game and.
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: I should have that was an. Easy underwinner there not.
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: HAPPY about that i think that Was probably Al condra
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: gets henderson would be My guess what I've Been, to
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: kyle harrison, by the way? IS he hurt i haven't
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: seen him in A while. From, Milwaukee anyway oh condra's
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: been good in his three, starts this month including One,
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: at the a's which. Is not easy he's got a
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: reasonable hit it's. Not too bad his walk. Rate is
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: low he's got a, lot of innings and his strikeout.
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: RATE is low, i mean again that's like part of
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: his game is just. Not there anymore is he doesn't
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: really have that ability to blow. Guys Away, anymore against
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: houston he's been mediocre in fifty two at bats to,
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: sixty nine average seven to, twenty five ops eleven of four.
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: STRIKEOUT walk ratio i would say he has like the
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: slight upper hand. In That matchup peter lambert Is. Pitching
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: for houston man good thing for him he got out
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: of The out of colorado's organization because he's been Pretty
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: good for houston three POINT oh three era one point one.
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: To one whip he's only a little bit worse at
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: home three point ONE. Seven home era he's been really
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: good this month with a one POINT oh two era
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: seventeen to two thirds in he's pitched, nine hits allowed,
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: touring runs, allowed five walks. Twenty, three strikeouts yeah. That's
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: pretty good so he's definitely in good. Form right now
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: he's gone at least five to two thirds in all three.
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: Of those outings. That's all solid he's he got a
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: really low hit rate on the season is walk grade,
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: is not great but it's. Kind of mediocre his strike
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: got rated, is fairly good almost. One per, inning, So
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: yeah overall lambert, is Pitching well and miami's never, faced
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: him before so he does have an unfamiliarity edge. There
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: AS well So i think lambert has the advantage of the.
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: Starting PITCHING here so i don't really want to come
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: in and Try, to back miami even though they're trying to. Avoid,
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: the sweep here and the motivational aspects would say that
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: the money's actually Coming, in ON houston and i kind of.
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: Agree with that fifty five percent Of tickets on miami
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: fifty one percent of The. Cash on houston public seems
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: To still like miami because the record is good and
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: it's Probably. Better THAN houston's but i think these teams
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: are pretty, closely, matched here man especially. In this matchup
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: oddsmakers are saying, that As well with houston being at,
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: minus one twenty basically just the home advantage for, them
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: at home but the money is. BACK in them I
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: would lean houston FIRST five because i don't think they
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: have a bullpen, Advantage Or anything so houston verse, five
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: makes sense so we're gonna pay a little bit more.
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: Of a price that money's also. BACKING the over I
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: don't think i. WOULD do that i think probably first
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: five under would be my opinion on. THE total there
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: i think both starting pitchers still might come in and.
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: Pitch well, HERE so Yeah i like houston in, the
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: first five but also the first five under in that one.
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: Makes some sense it's a tough board, to, figure OUT
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: man so i only have one PLAY and hopefully i
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: identified a strong play. There FOR, baseball for wnba we
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: got six games and then we Go Into the. ALL
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: star break i know you guys are all Gonna Watch
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: The all Star, Game On saturday Team Spoon, against team
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: coop which ARE whoever those i think they're? What are
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: THEY they're x wnba players that lead, those two teams
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: and they. CHOOSE their team i don't know how. It even.
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: Works who cares we're gonna have a play in, the
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: afternoon here the, first game up so we have two
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: after noon plays today and that's, the whole board a
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: whole card. For me today we've turned it AROUND in,
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: the wnba recently and, TO be honest i think the
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: MAJORITY of my wnba losses have been bullshit and hopefully
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: we can get. A win here We're gonna take phoenix
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: plus two and a half in the first GAME. HERE
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: against la i think the spot sets up. Well for
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: this people are gonna look at, this, AND, THINK oh,
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: la i mean you're only laying like basically two points
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: HERE with the la and they have a Better. Record
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: than phoenix, phoenix is awful not like, nine, to eighteen
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: right who? Would? Want that well, FIRST of all la
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: is playing without their best player, right now plumb so
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: some of their wins came with her still in there before.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: She got HURT so this la team without, her is
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: worse and. Their depfense stinks phoenix has faced a. Fairly
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: difficult schedule they had a really difficult run at the beginning,
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: of THE season so i still think they're not as
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: bad as. The record looks so that's KIND of where, i,
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: start this like it kind of looks too EASY to,
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: play LA here and i will say that the line
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: has moved down. A little bit it looks like it's
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: mostly one and a half's, out there now, Maybe A
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: two so i, apologize FOR that but i would still
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: say take the Points here with phoenix here and put
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: ten percent of it on the money, line, as well
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: obviously but this is a good spot. In my opinion
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: it looks like the money's coming in and, agreeing WITH
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: me so i like, to see, that although, unfortunately you
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: know BY the time i get to it, in the
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: show the line. Has already moved it's just, how. This,
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: WORKS man now la they've lost four games, in a
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: row they've lost seven of their, last nine games so
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: it's not like they're exactly. Playing that Well but what
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: i'm looking at is they're returning on from. A road trip, so,
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: you know me we have three road trip return SPOTS in,
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: the wnba today and this is THE one that i like.
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: Fading The best here la has been on The road.
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: Since july thirteenth they had to go all the Way
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: To the east coast and then they Were in the.
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: Central time zone so now they're coming Back. To the
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: west although it's not really One Of those west coast
- 1:28:42Speaker 2: biological clock fuck situations because it's not, a late game
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: so it's not gonna, matter that much but it's still.
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: Return home spot and YOU know what i talk about
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: with that is when. Teams return home plus they're still
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: gonna have to return across multiple time zones and they
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: have to get back, To HOME life so i think
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: what it is. Is us distraction then they're gonna Go
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: Into the, all star break although maybe they'll be motivated
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: because they don't want to Go Into the all star
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: break in a five. Game losing, streak, BUT still, man
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: I mean is phoenix really gonna be the team you're gonna?
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: Get up for They've already played Phoenix twice in phoenix
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: and beat. Them both Times back on may twenty first.
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: By nine points if you dig, INTO that game la
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: shot out in their minds, in That game and plumb played,
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: in THAT, GAME so la i think there's gonna be
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: some offensive regression from. WHAT that was i mean that
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: was a. Crazy offensive GAME and then la beat them
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: in overtime in the Other game in phoenix As well,
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: on june thirteenth winning By nine and plumb played in
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: that game as well and put up. Forty THREE points
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: so la Has not Faced phoenix since, plumb WENT down
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: so i don't think you really put that much. Weight into,
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: those of course they're not gonna be favored by as
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: much now, with her out but They haven't faced. Phoenix
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: without her and if you look, AT those games la
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: shot really well, in both games so there might be
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: some regression COMING. For in la the first game they
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: had a massive, three point disparity and, THE second game
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: i think they had a pretty big, free throw disparity
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: so some of that stuff might even out. A little
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: bit the second game didn't really have as many outliers
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: though it wasn't more of, a close GAME but still
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: i don't like the spot. The return home they're gonna
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: Go Into The. All star break They Do have new
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: york when they come Out Of The. ALL star break
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: i don't really know if that's gonna be a look.
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: Ahead Or, NOT but phoenix i think they're in, a
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: positive spot like they're gonna. Try to win they just
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: broke a five game losing streak with A, win OVER
- 1:30:28Speaker 2: connecticut which i think is. A momentum starter when you
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: get a win against anybody. When you're losing connecticut's the
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: worst team. In the league but if you get a
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: win against anybody and you break, YOUR losing streak i
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: think that's. A good thing it gives. You new confidence
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: you're not gonna be overconfident because you didn't beat, a
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: good team and you're gonna be able to take that
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: momentum with you and quick TRAVEL. SPOT to la i
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: think they should show. UP for, THIS i mean la
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: is a team that's coming to their house and. Beat.
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: THEM twice phoenix i got that game right. BY the
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: way i didn't give it out as a Play, on
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: a sunday but that was a Zigzag spot where phoenix
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: Had lost to connecticut that, game before that and they
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: made the adjustments and. Won and, covered but yeah we're
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: Gonna go with phoenix here. In this one it's not
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: my Strongest feel that i've HAD, in the wnba but
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: the money seems to agree with me on. This pretty
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: strongly seventy eight percent OF, tickets on la eighty five
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: percent of The. Cash on phoenix the lines. Are already
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: moving try to find a good number. ON this man
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: i would still probably play it at one, and, a
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: half though and obviously put some of the money on,
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: the money line because it's pretty likely that if, they're
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: gonna cover. They're gonna win So that's what i'm gonna do.
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: With that One. MINNESOTA at seattle i got this game wrong.
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: The other day these teams are playing a second straight game.
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: Against each other seattle definitely played well in. The last
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: game they. HUNG in there i thought it was a
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: Bad spot for seattle returning home from, a ROAD trip
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: but i said there was the chance they were gonna
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: get up for that game Still. Because it's minnesota they're
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: the best team. In the LEAGUE but Now i think
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: minnesota might be the team to. Look, for here NOW
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: even though i liked them to cover in, that first
- 1:31:57Speaker 2: game you're getting a little bit More value. ON minnesota
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: time i think the line is moved by. ABOUT a
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: point i think they were eleven and a half in
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: that other game and now they're ten. And a half
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: although this line opened at nine and it, quickly SHOT
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: up and i don't really see great market indicators, on this,
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: ONE but yeah i think it's kind of. A. Zigzag
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: spot right so If, you had, seattle you know they
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: played their guts out in that last game And almost
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: upset minnesota as. Double digit underdogs YOU know, What i
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: say when a, team does that a, lot of times
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: they just have nothing left in the. Tank after that
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: Minnesota should take seattle more seriously, now after that Because
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: they know seattle almost Caught them and, minnesota almost lost and,
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: just in general when a big, favorite almost loses it
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: tends to shock them back into. Focus AFTER that so i.
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: Like the spot it's basically a Zigzag spot, from minnesota
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: here although if you dig, into the NUMBERS you know
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: i was looking for like a reason, to ZIGZAG this
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: and i mean it's. KIND of, There i mean seattle
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: did shoot better than, they probably will but there really
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: weren't that. Many outliers here the game was actually kind,
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: of close statistically so that kind of worries me A
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: little bit minnesota didn't win the rebound battle. By That,
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: much but minnesota they should clamp down. Defensively this time they're.
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: A good deepfense they're not gonna give up one hundred
- 1:33:10Speaker 2: and Two points, to, Seattle AGAIN right Like i think
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: seattle they like, to PLAY fast so i think that's
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: what they tried to do there and it. Pretty MUCH
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: worked but i think after that they might be. Out
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: OF gas Like i think minnesota should be able to
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: come in and get. THIS thing done i think it
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: is sort of, a zigzag spot but it's more that
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: just you'd be, playing the favorite the team that lost
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: is a big favorite in, the previous game and fading
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: a team that almost pulled off. A big upset and,
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: in this case it just happens to be a zigzag
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: as well because it's the. Same team's, PLAYING so yeah
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: i would Lay it with minnesota minus ten. And a
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: half seattle has fifty three percent of tickets fifty six
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: percent of the, cash on them not really much of a,
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: cash DISPARITY there so i don't. Know about, that but
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: yeah if you if you wanted me to give you a,
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: PLAY on That i like minnesota. In that one and
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: that is not the WEAKEST opinion that i have. In
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: these games So that's what i'll Say about That Chicago,
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: At New york new york as they're turning over. A
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: road trip i took a long look. At. THIS one
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: Man i considered chicago. IN this game i don't like
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: The Spot. For new york they were on The, Road since,
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: saturday july eleventh so. Long road, trip you know when
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: a team returns home from the road from, a LONG trip,
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: like i say it can. Be a distraction you got
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: to get back. To Home life the liberty probably have
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: some players are gonna Be In The all star, game
- 1:34:26Speaker 2: and whatever so they Might overlook the chicago team who,
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: they played once although they only beat. THEM by one
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: i think the only time they played Them was in
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: chicago and they only beat. Them by one but then
- 1:34:35Speaker 2: also Does tell you chicago has the ability to hang Around.
- 1:34:38Speaker 2: Against The liberty the liberty finished their Road trip on
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: monday with a big win and Overtime. Win against dallas
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: that was. A tough game i believe It was Also,
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: dallas Without becker so dallas really stepped. UP their game
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: i talked about that game. ON the show i thought
- 1:34:53Speaker 2: it was a Bad, spot for dallas except that it
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: was also an injured player spot because their best player had.
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: Just Gotten injured so dallas stepped, up their game man
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: And took the liberty right. To the wire it was
- 1:35:05Speaker 2: a big game for both teams. In MY opinion so
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: I think the liberty they're gonna be in that distracted
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: spot plus maybe a. Hangover spot Here, and for chicago
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: they're coming up a big, game too though which is
- 1:35:16Speaker 2: The main reason i'm kind of shying away From this
- 1:35:18Speaker 2: is chicago just played a really Close game against atlanta
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: and That Was the, angel Reese battle and chicago has not.
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: Beaten them since so if you Are Runaway or angel
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: Reese was on chicago just started her career and Now
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: she's On atlanta and chicago's played them twice and they've
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: failed to beat. Them both times so that was still.
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: A big game chicago wants To beat. That atlanta team
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: now they're gonna have to step up their game and
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: play another big game. Right AFTER that so i don't
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: love The. Spot for chicago i'm still Gonna lean, towards
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: chicago here and the money doesn't agree with. Me at
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: all sixty percent Of tickets on chicago. There's no way
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: there's no way the public Is. Playing in chicago their record.
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: SUCKS the liberty i know the record doesn't look, good
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: right now but there's no way the public is actually Coming. In,
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: Playing Chicago here new york fifty percent of the cash
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: and then they're laying about six and. A half here,
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: it looks like actually it's actually around seven. And a
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: half the books are all. Over the place what is going?
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: On with this the books have numbers anywhere between six
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: and a half and eight. And a half IT looks
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: like i don't know what the. Deal, is there obviously
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: if you're gonna, play this game find the best number
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: for whichever. SIDE you're playing i lean towards taking The points,
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: to CHICAGO there but i don't want To do It.
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: Vegas at washington washington's returning over a road trip was
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: a quicker road trip where it Was Just. To golden
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: state still pretty big though there were Only. Away since
- 1:36:39Speaker 2: saturday but those are two Big Games, against Golden state
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: and washington played well. In both games they covered for
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: us in the first game and should have won that
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: game probably based, on the statistics and then they did
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: win the NEXT game After I thought golden state would
- 1:36:53Speaker 2: be scared. Back into focus. That didn't happen washington played a,
- 1:36:56Speaker 2: really good game even though it was a higher paced
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: game in, the second game which didn't really expect that
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: those two teams play. Really Good deepfense but washington was
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: able to win a high Scoring Game. Against golden state
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: they could be in a, letdown spot here plus the.
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: Return home spot it's not exactly great having to go cross.
- 1:37:14Speaker 2: Country or whatever But They're playing las vegas man. The
- 1:37:18Speaker 2: RETURNING champs so i don't really think They're. Gonna overlook
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: vegas they haven't played. THEM this year i. Don't think
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: so it's not really a team you're. Really. Gonna overlook,
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: vegas in fact might Overlook them because washington they just
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: get overlooked because they don't really look like they're that good,
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: of a team but they're pretty solid on the on.
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: The deepfense event vegas is coming off an Easy. Win
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: over toronto nothing to really see There. Coming into, washington
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: from there it's not really a Bad. Spot for vegas
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: they bounce back well after that Ugly loss to. INDIANA
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: they had i don't see that much of. AN angle,
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: here i, mean you know you're probably gonna be paying
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: too much of you if you Want to, play vegas
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: here you're laying six. And a half everybody knows they're
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: one of, the best teams eighty one, percent of tickets
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: eighty nine percent of The. Cash ON vegas but i
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: think they're a pretty, public, side here man not really
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: A side that i would really want. To BACK here
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: But i know washington's in, a bad spot the, return
- 1:38:09Speaker 2: home spot so. MAYBE the, MAN i mean i guess
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: the lean Has to be vegas just because they're in.
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: The BETTER spot but i don't really want, to play,
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: that you know laying points of the public team like that,
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: on the road NOT really something i really. Want TO
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: do but i think that might be. THE right, Sides
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: i mean i've, done IT before but i don't really
- 1:38:28Speaker 2: want to. Do it there but that might be. The
- 1:38:30Speaker 2: right side, this, NEXT game actually i think is the
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: second STRONGEST opinion that I Have On usa Network. INDIANA
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: and connecticut i Do not like indiana. And the spot
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: indiana's coming off of a big game That WAS. On
- 1:38:41Speaker 2: national tv They beat the liberty and they. Absolutely demolished
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: them they beat them. By twenty points they had a,
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: great second half Huge win for Indiana beating The LIBERTY.
- 1:38:52Speaker 2: On national tv coming, OFF of that i think it's.
- 1:38:55Speaker 2: A letdown spot they're. Staying at home but do you
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: really think they're gonna put that much weight into. Playing
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: can Etiquette they played connecticut once This year in connecticut
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: and they beat. THEM by ten i don't really see
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: the fever being that focus here. In this one connecticut
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: did Just lose to phoenix in. Their last game they
- 1:39:13Speaker 2: are having To, travel FROM phoenix which i don't know
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: if that's really a great Thing going From, Phoenix to
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: indiana but at least you're probably going to get an Effort.
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: OUT of, connecticut i mean they know they're not that good,
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: of a team and they're probably gonna step it up
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: To Play, against caitland clark against the team that already
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: came into their house and. Beat them, ONCE so Yeah
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: i like connecticut, In this one but the Money. IS
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: packing indiana i don't really know why lank ten and
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: A half with indiana sixty one, percent of tickets ninety
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: four percent of The cous In. Indiana plus indiana probably
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: they might be, looking ahead To Like the. ALL star
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: Festivis I assume caitlin clark is going To be an all.
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: START this, TIME i mean i think they've kept her
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: out so Far Of The. All Star games maybe i'm,
- 1:39:52Speaker 2: wrong about that but they can't. CONTINUE doing, that i
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: mean she's obviously one of the top players. In THE
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: league and i don't know About My girl Sophie cunningham
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: on indiana or whatever else they got, going on There
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: But The all star game could be a. DISTRACTION to
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: them i would take The points WITH connecticut if i
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: was gonna. PLAY this one i think, it looks like at,
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: the very least a Letdown spot for indiana where they're feeling,
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: plump and gay as we kind of say, on the
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: show which is a different way of saying, fat and
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: sasse Which Is a marco DiAngelo is. My favorite handicapper
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: when teams are coming off, a big win especially a
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: blowout like that against, a good team he calls them,
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: fat and sassy and, they get overconfident they. Get too
- 1:40:33Speaker 2: cocky we call it plump and gay. On, This show
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: anyway indiana, GETTING the money i don't. Really get it,
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: sixty percent tickets ninety four percent. OF the cash i
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: Would only play connecticut plus the points, in that ONE
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: And then usa network. HAS another game i guess it's
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: a doubleheader AT. Night and cnbc because of course you
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: can learn economics FROM. Watching the wnba you can say
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: that the amount of these players get paid is not.
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: Free market activity let's just put. It that way This
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: game Is. Dallas in portland portland is returning home from,
- 1:41:08Speaker 2: a road trap but another team in a. Return home
- 1:41:11Speaker 2: spot not a particularly Good. Spot for portland they Were On,
- 1:41:13Speaker 2: the east coast then They, were in minnesota and they
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: didn't really play that well. In that game but still
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: they're coming off A game against minnesota that was reasonably
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: close later in the game. And returning, HOME you know
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: i talk about how that's a distraction, coming back home
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: and this is a late night game where they're having
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: to go Back To, the pacific coast travel across multiple. Time,
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: zones here still so it's not a great. Spot for
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: them they're gonna have to Readjust to the. Pacific time
- 1:41:38Speaker 2: zone they Might not. Overlook dallas here but THE problem
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: that I have with dallas is Not only that portland might,
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: not Overlook them but dallas is coming off a. Big,
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: game themselves man that was the First game without becker's,
- 1:41:50Speaker 2: their star player and they stepped it up big time
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: and they Almost Beat, in NEW york so i really
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: don't Want to play. Dallas after that and they're having
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: to Travel To the pacific coast as Well from the,
- 1:41:59Speaker 2: central time zone so both teams having to adjust to
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: The Late night pacific. Coast TIME there so i don't.
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: REALLY love it i don't love the spot, for Either
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: team so. I'm Staying away is becker is going to
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: be back. In this game possibly she's a, game TIME
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: decision so i don't know if they're gonna, just, figure
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: like hey we might be able to win without her
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: here in this game and just rest her Going Into the.
- 1:42:22Speaker 2: ALL star break i could see it going either Way
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: with what dallas is, Gonna DO here so. I don't
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: know the line is five and, a half here money Is,
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: back in, dallas seventy tickets ninety three percent of the,
- 1:42:32Speaker 2: cash on them they're at five. AND a half i, wouldn't.
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: DO it, man i, mean Of course if, becker's comes
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: back it's gonna be a reverse, injured player spot and
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: you're gonna have to Lay more with dallas because their
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: star players coming back and they have to readjust. Her
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: BEING back so i definitely would not want To be
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: on dallas. If that happens maybe some of the money
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: is just thinking that it might happen and Jumping. In
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: on dallas it was probably a lower. PRICE right now
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: i still wouldn't want, to, do it Though even though
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: portland is in, A bad spot i don't like the spot.
- 1:43:03Speaker 2: For either team an over might, make sense though because
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: both teams are kind of in bad spots, having to
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: adjust although the adjustment might mess up. Their offensive timing
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: but when teams are in bad spots a, lot of
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: times the defense just. Isn't that focus totals in the
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: one seventies is a. Fairly high total the money's backing,
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: The over there maybe the over is worth considering. In
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: that game portland is not a good. Defensive team either
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: dallas plays a lot of high, scoring games too so
- 1:43:30Speaker 2: that might be the better way to look. At that
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: game really, slutorns AN overall though i don't really DO much.
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: With wnba totals that's gonna. Do it though the only
- 1:43:38Speaker 2: players we have today both in the afternoon very small
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: card today under seven And a. HALF mets brewers i
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: like to starting pitching. In that one bullpens are. Fine
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: as well. In my opinion so that's. What we're doing
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: getting that KEY Number there wnba phoenix. Plus THE points
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: although i know the line has dropped, A little bit
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: i would still say do it and maybe if you
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: want to put a little bit less, money, on it
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: fine but plus one and a. Half or whatever. Hopefully
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: it's not if IT lands to, i will apologize, BUT
- 1:44:07Speaker 2: you know i. Mean it is it's not out of
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: the question, that it, would you know two. Point winning,
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: basketball it happens but it's still fairly it's. Still pretty unlikely. So,
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: That's it man learn A, tone on twitter and learn It,
