  Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for lift off.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: What is going on, Shippin' Nation YouTube station? We are
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: back with another edition of the MLB Show. It's your
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: boy Ham in his normal Friday seat. It's my guy Matt,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: like we do each and every Friday night. We got
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: 12 games to break it all down. We're going to
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: go game by game like we do each and every Friday.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Matt, I'll bring you right in.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: You've been hot again this week, like we talked about
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: a little bit yesterday.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: What's going on? How's your Friday? Got any big Labor
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Day plans this weekend?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Friday's good. Always happy to be here with you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Familiar face. Love these back-to-back shows we get to do sometimes.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: So that's fun. Friday's good. Labor Day plans? Not really.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know how it is. You got two
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: young kids just trying to survive the weekend more than anything.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: So we'll just be hanging out here. If the weather's hot,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: probably go swimming, do something outside. But nothing really specific.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: How about you?
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Similar to, you know, watching football, right?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Got the football season starting, which everybody loves that. College
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: football on tomorrow. Maybe a little pickleball action in the morning.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And then, yeah, just watch these games and watch you
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to continue to be hot. Matt, my guy Matt, in
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: case you don't know, 95K over the last, I'll call it,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: eight days now. Man, he's just been absolutely fire. So
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: make sure you tune in tonight, listen to that. And
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: if you aren't a member at the nation, head on
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: over there now. You see it at the top of
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the screen. $ 19 will get you in Ship It Nation
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: for five days. Use the promo code SHIP19. That'll get
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you access to everything that we do behind the paywall
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: as well as our Discord where you can get Matt's tips, Tidal, Rio, myself, Nade,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you name the whole crew, we'll be in there each
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and every night like we always are. Matt, I said
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: it at the top of the show, we got 12
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: games to break it all down. I'm showing our stone
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: over here on the nation that has all the information
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: that you need for the slate So we're going to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: go game by game.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Like I said, if there's any weather, bring it up.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I know you just pulled that up, but we have
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the first game on the slate of the Boston Red
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Sox headed back into Baltimore. Game two of this, both
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: confirmed lineups. And my boy Adley last night went back to,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know, he went back to back. We hit
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: two bombs and his return to Camden Yard. So that
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: was pretty cool to see.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: You nailed it. You were all over those Orioles.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They went yard. Luis Robert went yard and Canarsie on
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Strand went yard. Who else went yard? Pete Alonzo went
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: yard in that game. So it was a lot of
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: runs in that game. Talk to me tonight about this game.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Ranger Suarez taking on Shane Baz.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I like this game. I think this game is more
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: looking at the offenses than anything. But in the context
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of the slate, kind of like yesterday, although yesterday was
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a much smaller slate. Like if you're playing one lineup today,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you can make a case for stacking Boston- Baltimore, we
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: get Suarez. Didn't mean you just talked about Suarez. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: feel like Suarez is often a point of convo for us.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll say the same things I kind of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: always say about Suarez. I'm not looking to play him here,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: but he's good enough where I don't really want to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: stack against him either. In fact, on this particular slate, Oh, man,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I don't really want to play him. I can't say
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I like him much more than the Baltimore stack. If
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: forced to choose, I think I'd play him over the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Baltimore stack, but I think both sides are just mediocre
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to me. Boston and Boz, it's funny. I respect Boz's stuff,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and if he has his best stuff on any given night,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: he can be really good, but he's inconsistent. This Boston
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: lineup is cooking right now, and they got their guys back.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Roman Anthony up top of the lineup. was crushing in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: his rehab assignment before he came back up, and now
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: he's crushing in the bigs. Just adds a nice layer
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of everything to that lineup. I mean, he's their best hitter.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So I like Boston here. I respect Boz enough where
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I can't sit here and say Boston's like my top
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: stack on the board, but they're not going to be
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: owned as such. So like you told me you wanted
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to prioritize Boston at ownership. I wouldn't argue with you.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: they're just not my favorite stack. They're like a tier
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: two stack for me, Baltimore, probably like a tier three, four,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: however you want to put it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I don't really like either one of these stacks, but
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I would say, I would say Ranger Suarez has been
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: just pretty, pretty bad over the last six weeks.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: And yeah, me and you've had several conversations.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: He was, you know, in my opinion, one of the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: better pitchers on a slate that we did, but, Man,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: he's been bad, but even at that price tag, I'm
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I don't think I can get to him tonight. But
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I liked what you said. I wrote it down.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: More offense than the pitchers, but don't necessarily love either
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: offense in a single-entry type format. Next game up on
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the slate, Cubs going into the fish tank to take
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: on the Marlins. Shota Imanaga taking on Jansen Junk. Big-time
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: ballpark downgrade for the Cubs. No wind's going to be
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: blowing out in that dome tonight. PCA hit another bomb
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: last night. These Cubs have been piping hot. They only
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: scored two last night, but before that they were really rolling.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Talk to me a little bit about this game. You
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: got the Cubs going into Miami to take on this
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Marlins team.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: PCA 6,800 in this stadium is quite the tag, but
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he's deserved of it. The Cubs are interesting here. The
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: problem is their price tags, man. Like in this ballpark,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously they just are coming off a, Massive
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: homestand with the wind blowing out and a lot of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: these guys crushed. But as a full stack here, PCA 6,800,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Bregman 6,300.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: That's insane.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: That's insane. Like their tags are just really hard to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: get to, you know? So do I like them against junk? Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Do I want to allocate the funds to stack them? Unlikely,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: because I like expensive pitching on this slate. If it
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: were a slate like last night where I really like
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to cheat pitchers, maybe I'd be more apt to go
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: all in, but they're so expensive. I just, I like
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: them and they're going to be low owned. And if
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you can find a way to stack them with pitching
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you like, God bless you. I just don't think I'm
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: going to be able to personally do it. The other
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: side of this game, I think Imanaga is in play.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a guy that you really like with
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: good weather in Chicago, fly ball guy. I think he
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: can pitch well in this spot. I mean, if he
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: pitched all his starts in Miami, we'd like him. I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: don't love the matchup against the Marlins. They're coming off
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a nice series themselves, but I think an 8,800 showed
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: us in play. If I'm playing one lineup, he's not
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: in it, but I like him.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: What about like a one-off?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Like would you be more apt to do like a
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: PCA one-off or a Suzuki one-off?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Or are you not even going there tonight with these cubbies?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think they're all in play. Like
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I like them. I just think they're expensive. So the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: cheaper guys I think make sense. You know, it's just– man,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: they're just super expensive. I mean, Suzuki 5800, half as cheap.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I don't love him as a one-off, but he certainly
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: has upside. So, yeah, I mean, I like the Cubs here.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Getting some exposure makes sense.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: The MNAC has been really bad over three out of
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: his last four starts, but there's no recipe like going
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: into Marlins Stadium and, you know, getting a start there.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Like you said, no win. Fly balls go to die,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: which he's a big-time fly ball pitcher. Excellent call by
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you there. Next game up on the slate. Talk to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: me a little bit about the weather in this one.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Game two of the Tigers-Guardians, right? That's on the slate, correct?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: It is on the slate. And what's interesting is game
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: one started a couple hours late. So I don't know
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: what they're going to do about the lock time of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: this game because I don't think it's going to, you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think first pitch is going to be at
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: 7-10 or whatever it's expected to be. I don't know.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Nevertheless, interesting game to talk about. Like we talked about
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: game two.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Andrew Sears slated to start, be the starter for the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Tigers tonight.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Newby acquired Foster Griffin in this one.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Assuming, you know, we don't have lineups out, but assuming
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: these are the lineups, talk to me a little bit
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: about this game, Tigers at the Guardians.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: That's what's real interesting about it. If they don't change
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the lock time, we probably won't have lineups before this
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: game is supposedly set to lock on DK because of
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the two-hour delay in the first game. So makes it risky.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: That said, I like the Guardians here, and I think
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you can look at Foster Griffin. I mean, the Guardians
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: are getting waxed right now in game one, six to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: one in the fourth inning. Logan Allen, their starter's already
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: out of the game. They're using Ciccone. So I imagine
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: if they can get any length tonight out of Griffin,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: they're going to take it. I mean, they might leave
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: him out to dry a little bit if he's not
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: pitching well, but at that point, you don't really care.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You're looking at the upside in tournaments. So I think
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: he's in play. The Cleveland stack in play too. I'm
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: presuming they're going to lose this game. So you get
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a Sears and a mediocre Detroit bullpen. I get playing Cleveland.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: It's hard for me to say Cleveland's like a top
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: tier stack or anything, but I think they're on the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: same level as like Boston.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I think you're cutting in and out. Either you or
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: me is, but I heard, I didn't hear what you said.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Can you hear me?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I got you. I'm going to leave and hop right back.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's me. I'm going to leave and hop right
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: back in. All right.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: He's going to leave and hop right back in. So
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: we'll give him a minute to get back in here.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: But before we.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Do that, we're going to go to the next game.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: It is in Shea Stadium, where I hate playing teams.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: But you got the Giants. They've been relatively hot, especially
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Rafael Devers scoring in the teens against Pittsburgh. Gil Devers,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Bryce Eldridge have been– Now they go into Shea Stadium
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: to take on this Mets. McClain's probably been one of
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the better things for the Mets this season. Matt Wilkinson
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: on the bump tonight for this Giants team.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: So we know the Mets are going to get some ownership.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So, Matt, we're just talking about Giants and Rafael Devers
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: at the Mets.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Nolan McClain against Matt Wilkerson.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Tugboat Wilkerson here, former Guardians legend prospect, now on San Francisco.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Was okay his last time out. He doesn't project to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: be anything good. Bad Giants bullpen. I could see stacking
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the Mets here. I think they might get a little
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: bit too much love because of the matchup and some
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: of their price tags. I know Lindor, I think, is
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: under 4K, but I like them here. I could see
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: playing some Mets. I think they look good, if not great.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: San Fran, nah. I'm not playing San Fran against McLean here.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: McLean himself, I think McLean is the best pivot off
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: of Gilbert and Snell, who are going to be the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: guys that get the most love for good reason. I mean,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Snell's been really good. You get a lefty against Washington
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and then Gilbert, insert pitcher here against the A's. I mean,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: he's in Seattle too. So those guys are going to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: eat up a ton of ownership. McLean is the natural pivot.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I don't like him as much, full disclosure, if I'm
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: playing one lineup. The only reason I'm playing McLean is
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: for ownership purposes, but he's good, and he's also in
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: a really good matchup. The San Fran lineup stinks. I'm
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: not playing any pitcher against them. McLean is good. He's
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the third-best pitcher on the slate, in my opinion.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, McLean, third-best. Yeah, I think so.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Saber, Sam would agree with you as well behind Snell
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: and Gilbert.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Excellent stuff there. Let's go to the next game. I'm
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: interested in this game, interested to hear what you have
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: to say as well.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Got the Twins, who beat up on the Tigers for
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the most part earlier in the week, now going into Chicago.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Take on this White Sox team. Fetty Wap going to
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: come in as a reliever in this one. Zebby Matthews,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: it was dynamite in his last outing. I think he
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: threw a shutout for most of the game. I think
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: they took him out in the ninth, if I'm not mistaken.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: But talk to me a little bit about this game.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Twins headed into the south side to take on the
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: White Sox.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like offenses here. I mean, Zebby coming off
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: that start has shown you that he's a GPP wild card. And,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you know, when he's got his best stuff. he's worth
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: at least looking at in tournaments or he has his
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: best stuff and you know, he's going to have it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: He's worth playing, but you don't know that. I don't
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: expect that here. White Sox against a righty, an average righty.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I'm about it. I got coming off. It's probably best
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: start of the year. The White Sox got to be
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: in play, right? I mean, we love the White Sox
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: against mediocre righties. That's exactly the spot that are in tonight.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: The twins kind of the same thing. Uh, You know,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Fatty's also not good. He's a below average pitcher. The
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Twins have been good. This game is all about the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: offenses for me. I think both stacks look good here.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Of all the games we've talked about, I think I
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: like these two teams the most.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Which one do you like better?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I personally like the White Sox more. I think that's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a contrarian take, though.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Really? So the White Sox aren't going to get any
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: love tonight?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: No, I just think between these two teams, the Twins
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: get more.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just looking. Yeah, they're not. I don't think either
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: one of them are going to get played a whole,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: whole ton. Do you?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Nah, they'll both be long for sure.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, give me some White Sox.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Give me some White Sox or some mediocre righty. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: like that, like you just said. Murakami, who's a boomer buzz. Vargas,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Benatendi's been all right. Montgomery brothers, yeah, I like them
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: tonight for sure. Next game up on the slate are
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: the Rangers, Kumar Rocker, taking on the Rays. The Rays
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: were hurtful last.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Night, Matt.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: They were very bad against the ace, Cal Quantrill, just
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: could not get anything going. Now they get Kumar Rocker and,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: excuse me, the Rays, Nick Martinez, all-star Nick Martinez.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: This Rangers team has been kind of hot. So talk
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: to me a little bit about this game.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Can the Rays get the former Vandy boy Kumar Rocker,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: or is it going to be a Nick Martinez type night?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Is Rocker starting or someone opening for him? Do you
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: know if that's confirmed? Let me check. I just saw
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a Williams potentially. Yeah, Trevor Williams is starting for the Rangers.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Trevor Williams, wow.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's just opening, but he stinks. I mean,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: he's a gas can of old for DFS purposes. You know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a guy we always like picking on.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Former Nats legend, right?
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Rocker. Rocker is another one of these guys with
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, he's not good, but he's also got
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: good stuff. And he really is bad against lefties. And
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the guys you want on Tampa are righty. That said,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Tampa is just a lineup full of good hitters. I'm
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: inclined to go back there after they really let down
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: last night, man. And I had said on the show,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: like I had been done picking on Quantrill kind of
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: like I hadn't done it the past couple of slates.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: He's been good. He's having his best year. What can
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: you say? In the best stretch of his entire career
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: right now, I would say. I'll eat that. I think
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: they're right back in play tonight. The Rangers are interesting.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I don't mind using hitters against Martinez, but usually for
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: smaller slates. His actual numbers are way better than his
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: underlying stuff, and he's gotten by with smoke and mirrors,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and I expect regression but he's not bad. When we're
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: this far in the season, like he's found a way
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to get it done so far. Like I'm not going
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to go out of my way to stack against him
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: on this type of slate, but I'm with you. Texas
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: has been good. You want to use pieces? I don't
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: even hate the five man, but it's just not somewhere.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to land, but Seager has
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: been good. And he probably looks like one of the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: best shortstop plays on the slate.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Hit a home run last night. If I'm not mistaken.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: He did, and I don't know this, but I would
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: presume that Lindor is going to be owned at shortstop. So, yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: maybe it's a pivot off of him. Maybe I'm off there,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: but I expect Lindor at $ 3, 900 in a really good matchup.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I expect him to be pretty popular here. So I
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: think Seager as a pivot makes sense.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Seager only at 4,100 as well. Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: He's dirt cheap too. Yeah, I'm with you. Like, I
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: think both Lindor and Seager look really good.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: But you got some– yeah, you got– I mean, the
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: shortstop position is– I'm not going to say loaded, but
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: you got some guys in good spots, I'll call it that,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: that are going to get some ownership that we're going
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: to get to here in a minute.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing else to add on that. Hopefully Cam Monero
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: can get back on. Get back on the train tonight
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: because he was very hurtful last night. Next game up
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: on the slate, Christian Javier and the Astros taking on
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Merrill Kelly. Merrill Kelly, Matt, talk to me about Merrill Kelly.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's up, he's down, he's up, he's down.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I think he was up last time in San Fran
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and just balling out of control there. But he's also
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: been lit up numerous times this year. So I'm interested
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: to get your take on this game. What I do
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: know about this Astros team, though, is if they have
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: a lead going to the ninth inning, My boy Josh
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Hader is just going to shut it down.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's blown a save all season. So
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: talk to me about this game.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Diamondbacks going into Houston, which, I mean, you obviously don't
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: see this game much.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: It's a weird combo. But talk to me about this game.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I like this game a lot for offenses. Both these
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: pitchers are not good. I think the natural instinct is
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to say Houston against Merrill Cowley. but I'm going to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: say not so fast and say, man, I really like
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Arizona against Christian Javier. He is not good. He's just
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: not good. He's always had some reverse splits. So I
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: never mind using righties with him against him, excuse me.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And I really liked the vibes of Arizona getting out
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: of Arizona with Cattell Marte back, obviously dealing with that
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: whole fiasco, the boos, dealing with the questions about that garbage,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: that can wear on a team. And I think getting
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: away from home sometimes can reinvigorate guys. And I'm not
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: playing them because of that. I like the Javier matchup,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: but that doesn't hurt. I'm in on Zona here. I
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: like Houston a lot too because Merrill Kelly isn't good.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: He's coming off a really good start, I think, against
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Sam Fran. Yeah. That is what it is. I mean,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: in San Fran against that lineup, a lot of bad
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: pitchers or mediocre pitchers are going to have starts like that.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I'm totally fine picking on him, but I really like
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Arizona as a contrarian stack.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: What kind of ownership do you think they'll garner? Like,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: where do you think they come in ownership perspective?
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Low.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, really similar. I think, yeah, I think Arizona
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: is like White Sox level low. Don't you? Uh, yeah.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, especially with, you know, cores.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: They're not going to be like, they're not going to
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: be like nationals level low. You know what I mean? Like, uh,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you know, A's level low, but there'll be like, you know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: third or fourth. Yeah. Like sub tennis. Yeah.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah. All right. I got a question for you.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: If one of your beloved Cleveland guardians pulled what kettle
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Marte did, would you.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Be booing him?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not, like, a booer. Like, I just don't.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: You just like to build people up?
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: No. I mean, I just think it's, like, counterproductive. Listen,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: trust me, I've booed at Cleveland sporting events, like the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Browns especially. But I don't know. Like, I get why
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: they booed, but I also think it was kind of
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: in poor taste because clearly, like, he's going through something
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and he's still a human. Like, I don't know. people
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: will always just bring up the money and I get that.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: And there's no argument against the money, but people are
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: still human. And I thought that like, I did think
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: it was like distasteful, even though I totally understand why
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: they booed. I thought it was distasteful. Did you not?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, to be honest with you, I didn't
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: follow it that much this time, just because, you know,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: it's crazy to say this exact same thing happened last year. Um,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: and listen, I don't know what was said or what wasn't,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean, I, I'm not, I don't, uh,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: who knows? They can do what they want to do,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I guess, but it probably wasn't bad taste. And I guess,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I guess I wonder like what his teammates think about it. Right.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Like, I wonder if his teammates have his back, maybe
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: they've come out.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: And said they do, but I think that would be
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: like where, what I would question.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I definitely questioned that. And I wouldn't be shocked if
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: like some of his teammates, if the actors weren't then,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: you know, but yeah. Yeah. Right. At the same time, Like,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and this is just true with sports and in life. Like,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: he's one of their best players. So, like, you're going
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: to cut him more slack than you would just about
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: anyone else. For sure, the roles are different. Right. Now,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: maybe it's gone too far. And maybe a fresh start
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: for both sides is needed. But I don't know. I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: think getting away from home tonight is good for them. And, yeah,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to say it now. Cattell Marte, bomb
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: of the night tonight.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Cattell Marte, bomb of the night tonight. All right. Well,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: let's go on to the next game.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Enough about Cattell Marte and the bombs he's going to hit.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: We're moving on to the next game. There's going to
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: be some ownership here. Carter Jensen was on fire last night.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Now he gets to take on Jamison Tyon, who we
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: love picking on, especially in Coors Field 2.0. Dusty Daniel Lynch,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: the fourth against this Blue Jays team. This Blue Jays
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: team is going to garner tons of ownership tonight, Matt.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to rival.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: The Cardinals, but interested to get your take on this game,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: blue J Royals.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: The blue days are going to be really be that
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: high owned.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: The Jays. You don't.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: No, I don't know. I mean, yeah, I guess so.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: They look really good. I mean, they're so cheap in
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: this spot. It's hard not to like the Jays. They're
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: coming off a pretty good top three Cleveland. Yeah.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: But you got to remember one thing. You got to
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: remember one thing. Hmm. Did I lose you?
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I'm here, but.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: I can hear you. No, you're good.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: You got to remember one thing. The Jays don't win
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: DFS slates. They just don't do it. No one can
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: show me a slate they won all season.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I don't really want to play them into ownership, honestly. Like,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I like them here. I think they look great. And pieces,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: for sure. They're so cheap and they're in a good spot.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Great ballpark. full five-man stacking them into ownership on a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: site like this i'm probably good i like other teams
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: at lower ownership that i will get more exposure to
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and yeah i do like them though like what somehow
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: they come if somehow they come in lower owned than
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: i'm expecting and i don't play them i'm gonna be
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: mad so maybe i might play them because of that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: just not go overboard with it um yeah and I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: do see Sansali coming in saying he won a bowl
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: last year.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: That was last year.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: That was last year.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Big difference. Big difference. Now, it doesn't mean they haven't
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: had slates this year, but all in all, you're right. Like,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: they've been a lot worse this season.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: They went to the World Series last year. They were
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: good last year. And Vlad hit balls last year.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Vlad hit bombs. They had Varsho. They had Bichette.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, Vlad was completely different. Yeah, I like them here,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to play them into ownership. Go ahead.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just wonder what Razzles is saying. Interesting. I
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: wonder if it's the Jays' comment. I don't know. I
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: haven't missed many slates this year, and the Jays.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Have– I don't remember them being on one. I'm sure
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: to goodness they have. But as a full five-man stack,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: I don't recall. Or four-man on FanDuel where I play
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: most of my stuff is, yeah. I don't remember them
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: being on the winner.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: But in any event, you've got to like them. Yeah,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: so we like the Jays. We both agree on the Jays.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you just look at– The stone and
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: the ownership, this will obviously change throughout the course of
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: the night. I mean, they rival the Cardinals, you know,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: just looking at this numbers. And it's not finalized yet,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: but it's similar in a lot of the spots. But
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: we like the Jays. Who are some of your favorite Jays,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: like if you had to pick out two or three?
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Is their lineup out?
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: I have not seen it come out unless it's come
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: out when we've been on the air. Let me look.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Don't they normally just play the normal suspects?
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, honestly, their whole lineup's pretty cheap. And
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: you've got to like Kirk at catcher because he fills
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: a weak spot. McAdoo, Vlad, Springer. I mean, the righties
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: here stand out, but I think you can play them all.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Royals bullpen stinks. We just saw Miami get to them.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: But then the Royals themselves also in play here. You
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: mentioned Jensen yesterday. I mean, he's got three homers. He's
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: got five extra base hits over the past two days. So, yeah,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: that's something.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Well, talk about Jamison Tyon, too.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Like, this is his, what, first start in over a month?
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: And we picked on him for years, I feel like.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's definitely a guy you can pick on. I mean,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not, like, super excited about picking on him, honestly,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: on this slate. But I think the Royals definitely are
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in play, if nothing else. Their whole lineup. Tyon's not good.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: So isn't Daniel Lynch a, a long reliever?
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he hasn't. I don't think he's, let me see
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: how much he's been throwing.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: But who's opening for them?
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Like, no, Lynch is the guy that's been playing. Isn't
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Lynch is the guy that's been, isn't Lynch the one
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: that's been opening?
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: I thought he's been coming in for like three or
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: four innings, like after two innings.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: No, I think he's the one that's been starting the games. So,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: He's been going like three, four innings, and then they've
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: been bringing someone else in. That's the way I'm reading it.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Razzle said that Lynch is horrendous, which he is.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Penn comes in early, too. Yeah, so Lynch must be starting.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I know he's been pitching like, yeah, like I said,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: two to four innings, somewhere around that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: And, yeah, you knew.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: This was going to happen, too, but Cleveland has tied
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that game.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: No, six to one, and they tied it?
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Still in the fourth inning, 6-6. Of course they did. So, yep. Oh, man.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: They're going to win that. Let's put some money on that.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: They're going to win that game.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Rokio Homer, Grand Slam.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, the wheels are falling off. I'm taking the Guardians.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I need some money. I wish I would have taken
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: them when they were down 1-6. Yeah, right.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's, yeah.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: All right, so Jays or Royals, who do you like better?
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jays, but that's such a fishy answer. So, man.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: If this Royals team, if they're low-owned, like if they're
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: not– They can't be low-owned.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: They just can't be.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: But if they are, like aren't we just– And Sabre
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: in the trial run, they're the fifth highest owned stack.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the lower-owned team, which is the Royals here.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: The Blue Jays will be higher-owned. I'm pretty confident in that. Yes.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: The Jays are popping in Sabre, by the way.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Whenever you get the road teams in these spots, too,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: they always stand out.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: They get three more outs.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: They're going from worse ballparks where the Royals are kind
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: of priced as such.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Good deal. Jensen's been hot. Good stuff there.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Moving on to the next game that's going to get
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: some more play, some more coverage. Got the Cardinals... Did
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: they sweep or did they lose last night?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers won late. The Dodgers won late.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, they went toe-to-toe with the world champs. They
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: held their own battle with Tarek. Now they get the
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: most pristine ballpark in the country, get to go into
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Coors Field. You got Andre Palante taking on Ryan Feltner.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I've never met somebody that has such a disdain for
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals pitching staff as Matt Bellman.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: So let's see, does he like this?
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Rocky's team tonight, Jake the Snake, Jake McCarthy, swiping bags
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: left and right, batting leadoff all season long. I feel
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: like he's had a pretty good year, in my opinion.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: This Cardinals team, they can smack the ball around. We
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: saw that in L.A. a couple nights as well. But
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: talk to me a little bit about this game. I
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: know you have a little bit of love for Felton,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: or at least maybe And another slight, maybe a different spot,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: but Cardinals at the Rockies.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: So I do think Feltner has pride. I think he
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: has better stuff than like the masses do, but he's
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: not good. And you get the Cardinals, you know, they
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: just had a really good series in LA now going
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: into quarters to face Feltner and this pitching staff.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, Is it.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Possible to have a letdown? They just like use all
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: their energy and might.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. And they lost a close game yesterday and
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: we just saw Baltimore let down in cores. And I
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: think Felton there is of the Rockies pitchers, like not
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the one I most want to pick on at least
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that's what he's got going for him. So yeah, cards
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: will be the highest on team on the slate. I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: think an ownership fade of them makes sense. Typical ownership
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: fading cores. They do have cheap bats though. We'll see
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: what their lineup is when it comes out, but. It's
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: going to be hard to totally ignore them. I like
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the Rockies, man. I will say Peyante is like the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: one Cardinals pitcher I don't pick on a lot because
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: he's a ground ball guy. And honestly, like before he
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: got hurt, he was probably their best starter this season.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: But he's not good. Now you get him in cores.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Low-owned Rockies, in my opinion, here. They're really expensive. Yeah.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: They're uber pricey. I just don't think people are going
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: to want to allocate their funds there. So I like
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the Rockies. Honestly, I don't know if I want to
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: spend the funds on them. Like as much as I
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: like them, they're super expensive and there's other good stacks tonight.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: So this might be it. Go ahead.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, you first. I know what you're about to say.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I like it. I can't wait.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't even know what I was going. You
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, what are the odds that
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Cole Carrick gives the number one salute to his home
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: fans in left field tonight?
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: None.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: None.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: You don't want to get benched again.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Hey, you don't come to the ATL, man, and think
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: you're going to get it easy. Like, no, we're going
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: to let you have it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: We're going to boo you.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I know you're not a big boo guy, unless it's
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Tim Couch playing quarterback. But, hey, we're going to boo
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: you if you don't do a good job.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like this Rockies team, too. Single entry, Matt.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Fading the Cardinals. Fair or foul?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Fair.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Fair.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Favorite Rocky one-off.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to be Goodman. Yeah.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Strikes out a bunch, which he also hits three bombs
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: a bunch too.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: And he's catcher, you know? So like if you get
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the game, he hits two bombs. It's you're likely, you know,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: way better than the field there.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Good stuff there. Moving on to the next game. If
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: you haven't already done so, do us a huge favor
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: real quick. Takes less than three seconds. Hit that like.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Hit that subscribe button. Next game, the Yankees going out
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: of the Angel Stadium. Now headed down south to take
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: on this Padres team. Walker Bueller, former Boston Red Sox great.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: He knows this rivalry all too well. Gets to take
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: on his former arch nemesis, the Yankees. Max Freed making
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: his appearance. I hate this game. I hate this ballpark.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I actually love this game. Hate the ballpark. I won't
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: be getting much tonight. But what about you? I think, yeah,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: you talk to me first. Yankees at the Padres.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Feels like, sounds like we feel the exact same way
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: about this game. I'm good. I'm not playing anything here.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I think you can play Yankees against Bueller.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: But in this park, I'm good. This bullpen, this park.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Yankees are going to have to do it against Bueller.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: And I respect him enough where I don't think I
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: want to stack the Yankees on this slate. I'm fully
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: off Reed and I'm fully off the Padres. So this
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: game is probably nothing for me, but talking it out,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I do understand why someone would stack the Yankees here.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Ooh, that's, I mean, yeah, you're just, you're just hoping
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: for the best in my opinion for that and that ballpark.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Like you said, with that pin.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Quite frankly, this Yankees team, they didn't really get to
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: the Angels staff that badly, did they?
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: They were okay. They had one good game. Yeah, no,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: they only had one decent game against Grayson, and other
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: than that, Wander, Urania shut them out, and Detmers was
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: really good against them, so you're right.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking forward to the game, not the park,
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: for sure. All right, we're headed down the home stretch.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Two games left on this slate. My athletics last night,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: we put seven up on the board, Matt, but none of.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: It really mattered.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: We had a pinch hit home run, grounded.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Into double play RBI, did me no good. We had
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: some of these athletics last night. They did put up seven,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: but we're on no winners. Now they get a tough
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: test in Logan Gilbert at home. You said it earlier,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: this ballpark, this AAA line of the athletics are going
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: to roll out. Another K with a K. on the
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: bump tonight, but this time on the other side of
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: the mound, Cade Morris, whoever that is for this athletics team.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Talk to me a little bit about this game. Athletics
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: at the Mariners.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Gotta like all things Seattle here, right? Like the A's
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: are throwing this Morris and Basso, whoever their bullpen stinks.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: These guys aren't good. This park is bad, but Seattle
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: ran a bunch last night. If they continue to do that,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: that mitigates the park a lot. So, I think you
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: can stack Seattle here and then Gilbert. At his price point,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I think he's the best pitching option on the slate.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, if all his matchups were at home against
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the A's, yeah, he'd be one of the best pitchers
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: in baseball. You know, I mean, if not the best
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: pitcher in baseball. So I feel real good about him here.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: The A's have been pesky lately the past two games,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: but we know who they are. This is a nightmare
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: spot for them. A righty in Seattle. I'm in on Gilbert.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: If I had to choose between Gilbert and Snell, I'm
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: playing Gilbert. I like both a lot, but Gilbert's my
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: number one SP here. I like the Mariners. I'm out
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: on everything A's. And you know me. I'll play the
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: A's if I have semi and even a semi inkling
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: to do so, but not tonight.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: The A's are who we thought they were. That's why
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert's taking the damn field. Matt's SP1 on the
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: slate tonight.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Love that call.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: J-Rod, like you said, was stealing bags left and right
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: last night. I think a Rosarena had a good game
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Those two.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Or really putting in that work last night. All right,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: take us to the last game, Matt. Got the Nats,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: the Natitudes going in to Hollywood. James Wood back in
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: the lineup. I don't like this matchup for him, though,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: in his first game back.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: C.J. Abrams, lefty-lefty combo. 6K C.J. Abrams, but you got
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: the Nats taking on Snell.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Then you got Jackson Kent, no relation to Jeff Kent,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: taking on this Dodgers team.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Tommy Edmond was good for you last night. Dodgers.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Friday night, Dodgers. Late night, Hammer, Dodgers. Six runs in plot. Total, Dodgers.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Shohei should be in the lineup tonight, Matt. I believe
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: so is what I saw, but talk about this game.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Nationals at the Dodgers.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just kind of like the last game. I'm in
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: on all things Dodgers here. To start off, I'm definitely
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: out on the Nats. I'm definitely out on Kent. Snell
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: is the second best pitcher on the slate outside of Gilbert.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: If they were the same price, I think that you
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: could make the strong case for Snell being the top
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: guy at 11 K still, he's got massive upside. I
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: love the matchup and the Dodgers. Yeah. I like them
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: a lot here. You get them against Kent and this
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: bad bullpen. They've started to get going again a little
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: bit last night. Wasn't their best night, but Quinn Matthews
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: is good. Other than that, I like the way they've
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: looked recently. They want on a walk-off double, another lefty tonight.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: They got some cheap guys in there. I like the
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Dodgers quite a bit here. Um, I don't think they're
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: my favorite stack on the board, but they're up there
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: for sure. I like them a lot. What's not to
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: like is my opinion. You'll probably have Edmund in second
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: if Shohei's back in there. Maybe they give Shohei another
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: day off. I kind of hope they do cheapen this lineup,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: but if Shohei's in there, I'm going to play some.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Do you have any interest in.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: $ 3, 500 overpaid, overpriced Kyle Tucker?
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Only in a stack. I mean, if I'm stacking them,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I'll play anyone, but I'm not playing him as a one-off,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Has Kyle Tucker hit five home runs this year? I'm
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: going to say no.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah, so I'm sure he's hit, like, what, 12, 13?
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: I'm taking the under 11.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: So we're both wrong.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Not good. We're both wrong, but still one. I said
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: more than five, and I was way closer.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: No, you weren't close. You said 12. It's 11, and
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: that's it. The price is right. You lose, I win. Okay,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: that's fair.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: No, I'm kidding.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: And he's batting 225. That guy's been horrendous this year.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: The one guy I will play is Teoscar. He looks
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: like he's starting to see the ball better right now
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: against a lefty. Against a lefty, yeah, I like that.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Also cheap. But, yeah, Tucker, man, I kind of hope
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: he's out of the lineup.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: No, he won't be. They play that guy every night.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: They're paying him too much money to sit down.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he stinks though.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: This quick.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman hadn't hit a home run since like July
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: 4th until like two nights ago.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: That was crazy to me.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wild. I mean, Jose Ramirez hadn't hit one
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: since June before he hit one a few days ago.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: Just quick game log watching.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Guess how many, and this could be wrong, guess how
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: many home runs Kyle Tucker has hit in the last month.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: None.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: One.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: All right, let me guess where it was.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Hold on. Now you're making me work.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: I think I remember. Arizona, maybe?
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Damn, my boy is good. On 8-8. 8-8.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: My boy Kyle Tucker goes yard in Arizona in his.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Only hit of the night. One RBI. You had to
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: be looking that up. I hear you typing over there.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. I mean, trust me, the only time
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I'm typing this here is because my wife can't stop
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: nagging me. You know how it goes.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: I mean. Man, that was a great call. I'm impressed.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: I'm super impressed.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: That was good stuff. Almost 30 days ago, I remembered
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: the bomb. All right, Matt, that'll do it. That's all
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: 12 games tonight. Let's see, how are these Guardians doing?
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Come on, Guardians, don't let me down now.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: We got to get a run. We got to get
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: something across the board.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Now I'm confident they'll win this game. Yeah, me too.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Got Uncle Momo on her side. Going to win this one,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: come back tonight, win it. Just double it down, keep
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: rolling it up.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: All right, here we go. 12 games. All right, top
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: three stacks on the board tonight, Matt.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Dodgers, D-backs. I mean, we're going to leave the Cardinals
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: and Blue Jays out because I think both those teams
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: are uber popular, but I like them, obviously. And we'll
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: go Rockies. who I think kind of come in low-owned.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: So I was going to ask you, I'm going to
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: sub Rocky. I'm going to sub White Sox for Rockies.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: So you like the White Sox better, huh? Mm-hmm.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: So what's going to actually give me a contrarian stack?
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think the White Sox would suffice for contrarian.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're probably the fifth, you know.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah. More.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: It's not even that bad. Oh, man.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Matt saw there was some weather in Cincinnati or somewhere
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: and had to type it up.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, you can't make that stuff up. Yes.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, man, good stuff. Who's that? Inez Stiegel, man, that's
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: good stuff. All right, we got the top stacks. All right,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: top three pitchers not named Blake or not named Logan?
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll answer this, but it's really a fruitless
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: exercise because, like, what's the point? Those two are the
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: clear best guys. But if you're taking them out, which
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: you are, we'll go McClain, Shota, and– Go Foster Griffin.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Like I said, they're going to need length from him.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Detroit is not good. I mean, Griffin is, you know, mediocre,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: but he's 8,300. He's the guy there for me.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: All right, if I say this enough, it's eventually going
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: to be right, Matt. I'm saying it again tonight. Ranger
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Suarez is the top scoring pitcher on the slate tonight.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: I'm just going out on a limb. Ranger Suarez. Wow. Yeah.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, it's a risk. I know. I get it.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: He's been bad.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: He's got a great ballpark.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Cannon yards.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: I said this last night. It came back to haunt me.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Didn't even sound like you really liked him. I know,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: but I do now.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: I do now.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Right-handed power goes to die there, even though Alonzo and
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Carcino Strain hit a bomb last night.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: Give me some Ranger Suarez to get back on. Say what?
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I said Robert, too, but who's counting? I was hoping
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't say that. You knew subconsciously. I said that
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: you had to go back to it. Cause you knew
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't the truth until you did. I mean,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I get it. I said, even like on this slate,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: I like Suarez more than Baltimore. It is a good
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: spot for him. And he's throwing, he's back to throwing
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: his normal allotment of pitches. I get it. Oh yeah.
• 44:55

  Speaker 2: so I need to dig in here and find me
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: a home run call for the night.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. Okay, so I already gave my home run call.

  Speaker 1: All right. That's a good call.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give two then, too. My first one.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Your top-ranked pitcher?
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: Well, not my top-ranked pitcher, but the one I think
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: is going to score the most points, so it must
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: be my top-ranked.

  Speaker 2: had to do some digging.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: I like it tonight.

• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Going to get some Merrill Kelly revenge tonight, taking on
