• 0:00
  All right, this is probably my favorite question is the last
• 0:02
  question predictions, the tradition of doing predictions
• 0:07
  of what this baseball season is going to look like, who's going
• 0:10
  to win the divisions? Who's going to be the three wild
• 0:12
  card teams, the the LDSLCS, the World Series.
• 0:18
  So who wants to go first? I want.
• 0:20
  To go first. All right.
• 0:24
  Well, division, I'll start with division AO, ES.
• 0:29
  I'm going to write this down too.
• 0:32
  I'm going to write it down too write it down on to go menu
• 0:35
  which I'm not going to eat. You.
• 0:40
  Know E, you know Central and I got NL W I'll start with the
• 0:45
  West Dodgers. All right?
• 0:47
  Next, let's go with the East. It's going to be tough, man.
• 0:54
  I like again, like I think it all depends on who's going to be
• 0:57
  very active on the in the the trades.
• 1:04
  But I like I like, I don't know, I like, I like the Mets.
• 1:06
  I like what they got going on right now.
• 1:07
  I got the Mets going to to to win in the division and I can't
• 1:14
  I can't, you know, central. Do I I, I, I really do.
• 1:20
  I really still like the I know, I know, they end up losing that
• 1:23
  one kid, the center fielder, the Brewers, but I still like them
• 1:29
  being on top. Just oh, Cheerio.
• 1:31
  He's on the IL, yeah. Yeah, I still I still like their
• 1:34
  chances. I mean, you can say my the Reds,
• 1:38
  the Reds loaded up too, but I just don't know.
• 1:41
  I can't. You know, the Brewers are a good
• 1:43
  team, So I'll just I'll safe bet I'll go with the Brewers.
• 1:49
  AL you say where? Wild cards.
• 1:53
  Three wild cards. And then it's three wild cards,
• 1:55
  right? Oh, I got Philly.
• 2:00
  I want to say Atlanta too, because Atlanta's a good team.
• 2:04
  I mean, they're, they're always historically good and they got
• 2:07
  some health. They got their, they got their
• 2:08
  healthy. I'll say the Braves too.
• 2:12
  They're they're going to take three out of that division.
• 2:14
  And let's see, I mean either San Diego or San Fran, but I also
• 2:21
  want to say the Reds, cause the Reds are a good team too.
• 2:23
  But I think the, the San Diego got a, got a, got a more of a
• 2:27
  lead on. I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll put that
• 2:31
  one undecided. OK, undecided.
• 2:34
  OK, let's go to AL, the AL West, we'll go Seattle Central.
• 2:46
  That's going to be a good one. I'm gonna skip that.
• 2:50
  I'm gonna go to the East. Somebody's gonna make a big ass
• 2:54
  trade in that fucking in that division.
• 2:56
  Start from my language. You're gonna make a big trade in
• 2:59
  that division. You're fine.
• 3:01
  You're fine, all right. I'm going to go with the Blue
• 3:05
  Jays. Not because you guys are Blue
• 3:07
  Jays fans, but I'm just going to go with the Blue Jays.
• 3:09
  And go with what you have, man. Whatever you feel, man.
• 3:12
  I got the 'cause I, I just feel like the Yankees, they're just,
• 3:15
  I mean, they get, they got some guys and stuff like that, but
• 3:17
  the, the, the Blue Jays got that young energy and they're just
• 3:21
  like on fire right now. And Boston, obviously, and I
• 3:30
  will say I'm going to the Central.
• 3:33
  I will say Detroit will win it. Then I got Cleveland, the wild
• 3:37
  card, the another wild card, yeah, Cleveland and.
• 3:40
  Who's your other two wild cards? How many?
• 3:43
  I mean how many? How many wild cards is it?
• 3:45
  Three, it's 3:00 and 3:00. Yeah, so I got I got Seattle, I
• 3:48
  got Detroit winning the Central, I got the Blue Jays winning the
• 3:50
  East. I got the Yankees, Boston and
• 3:52
  Cleveland. OK.
• 3:55
  OK. And I just leaving, I'm just
• 3:58
  leaving one out from the NL. I'm just going to crap shoot it
• 4:01
  right now. I'll just go.
• 4:03
  I don't know, man. Arizona too, man.
• 4:06
  Like I just feel like Arizona, they got really good team also.
• 4:10
  Yeah, they do. I'm a just leave it.
• 4:13
  I'm a leave it just kind of I'm a I'm a just leave it like that.
• 4:17
  It's going to be coming. They're going to be coming out
• 4:19
  the NL, the NL West. So for sure so see a San Diego
• 4:24
  or diamond bats. I don't think, I don't think
• 4:26
  there's I don't think the Giants will have like they they haven't
• 4:31
  showed me enough yet. I mean, even though they got
• 4:33
  guys, they got they got dogs actually over there, but I just
• 4:36
  don't think they have enough like.
• 4:38
  Juice, juice, juice. Those other other teams, you
• 4:41
  know what I'm saying, because you know, the, the Padres are
• 4:44
  running off straight emotion. They they hate the Dodgers to
• 4:46
  death. It's like, bro, you're only two
• 4:48
  hours away. Then you got the diamond Bass.
• 4:52
  The diamond bass is going to be sneaky.
• 4:54
  And and that's that could be another team that could be
• 4:56
  adding a lot of different a different arm that can be Sandy
• 5:00
  can Sandy can probably end up over there too.
• 5:03
  You know, they're not a big market team.
• 5:04
  They can probably give us some stuff away.
• 5:06
  They got they got the one of the best second basemans in
• 5:08
  baseball. They got Marte, they got
• 5:10
  Aronato. We got some veteran presents.
• 5:12
  They got they got good little bullpen.
• 5:15
  They got Corbett Caro, like, you know what I'm saying?
• 5:17
  They got some what's the little catcher's name?
• 5:19
  Man, I like the little catcher. Marenio, Marenio, Yeah.
• 5:22
  He's good, man. I like him.
• 5:24
  He's a good, He's a good little player.
• 5:25
  They got the Predomo, like Predomo's good, he's a good and
• 5:30
  he's coming to his own too. So I think they got a nice
• 5:34
  little good stack over there to where they can go there,
• 5:37
  compete. I mean, they know they're not
• 5:38
  going to win the West, but I tell you what, they're going to
• 5:40
  compete their butts off. I'm leaning towards probably
• 5:45
  more of the Diamondbacks. OK, I'll put Diamondbacks.
• 5:48
  Yeah, let's go, let's go Diamondbacks because I, I, I
• 5:50
  kind of like that they're low market team.
• 5:54
  They're kind of gritty. They got some veteran presence
• 5:56
  and I feel like they're going to make some trades and why not
• 5:59
  want it? Who doesn't want to play in 120°
• 6:04
  degree heat like you know, I'm saying during the summer or
• 6:06
  anything like that, you know, So, yeah, that's, that's who I
• 6:10
  got. I mean, it's probably the same
• 6:11
  prediction I had last year, but I mean, I, I, I just think
• 6:14
  Detroit, Detroit is going to, they got one of the best.
• 6:17
  They just, they just made a, they're starting this starting
• 6:21
  rotation is crazy. I mean, you got you got veteran
• 6:24
  presence in that, in that in that rotation.
• 6:26
  You got some Cy Youngs. You know, you still got some,
• 6:30
  you still got some young energy in there.
• 6:35
  I mean, I mean, honestly, if we look at their rotation right
• 6:38
  now, you think their rotations like, no, it can't be.
• 6:42
  I'm I'm just going to name it though, Remember, Remember
• 6:45
  Verlander, Schwerger, Anibal Sanchez?
• 6:47
  And was it Price? Price, Rick Porcello.
• 6:51
  Like how nasty was that? That rotation was so nasty.
• 6:56
  Yeah, that was that was stacked rotation.
• 6:58
  Not saying that, I mean, not saying that they're not going to
• 7:00
  compare it to these guys right now, but like, I mean, I mean,
• 7:03
  they're pretty God, they're pretty close.
• 7:04
  Like, you know, I mean, not pretty close, but it's close.
• 7:07
  It's close. It's that rotation, the Phillies
• 7:10
  in 2011, like 12, like when they had like Roy Holiday, Roy
• 7:14
  Oswald, Cole Hamels, Joe Bland. And there was, oh, was it Cliff
• 7:19
  Lee? Cliff Lee was there before
• 7:22
  because Cliff Lee got traded, right?
• 7:23
  He got traded in. He was there too, Yeah, he that
• 7:26
  that rotation was sacked too. Yeah, that was a good one.
• 7:33
  I got. I don't know, I, I, I think I, I
• 7:36
  mean, because then in 12, then they go into the, I mean, what
• 7:38
  thing went to the World Series, right?
• 7:39
  The Tigers went to the world. Series Tigers did in 12 and
• 7:42
  yeah, 12. Yeah, 12.
• 7:45
  So what do you have in the wild Card games?
• 7:47
  So you have so who do you think's going to be the third
• 7:50
  best division that's going to face the the the third wild
• 7:53
  card? Like what are the you think
• 7:55
  Cleveland has a better record than New York?
• 7:57
  Or you think New York plays Boston in the wild card round?
• 8:00
  Or Cleveland? No, I think, I think, I think
• 8:02
  Boston will probably out of all of them, they'll probably have a
• 8:04
  little bit better of a of an edge, but it's going to be a
• 8:07
  little bit, it's going to be close.
• 8:08
  It's going to be out of Boston or just because I think, I
• 8:12
  don't, I don't think they'll win like 90.
• 8:14
  I don't know. That's a tough one.
• 8:17
  Right. Who gets a bye weeks, right?
• 8:18
  That's what I'm saying like. Yeah, that's a tough one.
• 8:21
  If if anybody, if anybody, especially with the lefties, I
• 8:25
  think Boston will probably get the bye one.
• 8:28
  Or you mean the wild card, right?
• 8:30
  Because you have them as a wild card, right?
• 8:31
  Yeah, well, they're, yeah. I mean, I think the Yankees and
• 8:34
  Cleveland will play each other so in the first round and then
• 8:38
  the Boston will play wherever, division, whatever.
• 8:41
  Yeah, who's at the third best of it?
• 8:42
  Who? Who do you think that'll be?
• 8:43
  Tigers, Jays or Seattle? 3rd best.
• 8:47
  Yeah, it'll, it'll probably be, it'll probably be Detroit.
• 8:50
  OK, so Detroit. Detroit will play Boston,
• 8:53
  Cleveland plays New York. OK, who are the teams that come
• 8:57
  out? That come out?
• 8:59
  Damn. That's got to get.
• 9:04
  Actually, I like, I like what you're doing.
• 9:05
  I actually. It's going to be a tough one.
• 9:09
  I mean, again, it comes down to, you know, like what Jay says,
• 9:12
  it's going to come down to the it's going to come down who, who
• 9:14
  manages the bullpen. Well, you know, I, I think all
• 9:17
  these all these teams I, I just named got a really, really good,
• 9:21
  decent staff. I mean, I like Cleveland because
• 9:23
  Cleveland is just, they're the next barrel that comes out of
• 9:27
  the Central. But I I also can't also can't
• 9:31
  forget about the Royals, but I just think that the Cleveland
• 9:33
  just have a little bit more veteran presence, so.
• 9:35
  Cleveland comes out. Who out of out of out of the
• 9:40
  Yankees? Cleveland wins OK.
• 9:42
  Who wins between Boston and Detroit?
• 9:46
  Boston Brier won it. OK.
• 9:48
  I'll just. OK.
• 9:50
  So it'll be Boston who they would probably play.
• 9:52
  Who do you think is going to get the top, top, top team in the
• 9:57
  AL? Who have the best on record, I
• 9:59
  think. Seattle has the best record.
• 10:00
  OK, Seattle. OK, then, Toronto.
• 10:02
  They got they gonna beat up everybody in their division.
• 10:05
  Yeah. OK.
• 10:06
  So Seattle, would you have Seattle, Seattle versus nothing?
• 10:11
  Was it Seattle versus Boston or I'm trying to figure out here.
• 10:17
  See. Yankee Yeah, it will be.
• 10:18
  It'll be Seattle versus. Or as well, it'll be yeah, it'll
• 10:21
  be Seattle, Cleveland, Boston, Toronto, I think.
• 10:25
  Wait, So what Seattle has a top? Yeah, it'll be Cleveland,
• 10:28
  Seattle. So Cleveland versus Seattle and
• 10:31
  Toronto versus Boston. OK, yeah, OK.
• 10:36
  And then and then who comes out of there so.
• 10:44
  Cleveland. Seattle, right?
• 10:46
  Yeah, Cleveland, Seattle. Well, they're playing right now.
• 10:51
  They're playing right now. I, I don't know, I just got out
• 10:55
  of them. I think Seattle will probably
• 10:56
  push through because they have the they have high power, high
• 11:00
  power arms, you know what I'm saying?
• 11:03
  Yeah, so, OK, I gotcha. So who comes out of Toronto,
• 11:09
  Toronto, Boston and then? Toronto and Boston prior
• 11:14
  Toronto. OK.
• 11:15
  So it'll be Toronto versus Seattle?
• 11:18
  Yeah, repeat. Repeat.
• 11:20
  Oh my God. Do it again, do it again.
• 11:23
  Because it went seven, it went seven and and yeah, they Toronto
• 11:27
  added one guy, you know, and Seattle added one guy you
• 11:31
  initially got the same team. So it's like, oh, OK, these
• 11:34
  guys, are they going, they're young enough, they're
• 11:37
  high-powered. One got a little bit more a
• 11:39
  little bit more a veteran presence than the other, but
• 11:44
  they're they're they're going to beat everybody in that AOS.
• 11:47
  That was like, all right, you know, we're going to win 100
• 11:51
  games this year, you know, and we're going to have the
• 11:54
  momentum, you know what I'm saying?
• 11:55
  And and we got arms. I'll get to.
• 11:59
  I'll get to the World Series between Toronto and Seattle
• 12:02
  rematch. Oh man, you might have to holler
• 12:05
  at me in that like 2 months dude.
• 12:10
  I think, I think, I don't know, man.
• 12:14
  And then Jay goes next and then. I mean, I want, I want to see, I
• 12:19
  want to see, I want to see Seattle in the World Series, OK?
• 12:22
  I want to see them in the World Series.
• 12:24
  But I also also know reality that, you know, Toronto is a
• 12:28
  very, very good baseball team. And they have some veteran, they
• 12:30
  have some veteran arms on that team.
• 12:32
  Yeah. And as you can see, I don't want
• 12:35
  to, I don't want to think, yeah, ex ex Mariner, but I don't want
• 12:38
  to think like, OK, well, it was just a fluke.
• 12:41
  Like, I don't know if that was really a fluke, man.
• 12:43
  They they they kind of they kind of beat the crap out some teams
• 12:46
  last year, you know what I'm saying?
• 12:47
  So and they're and they're and they're considerably kind of
• 12:51
  young. You know, you got Julio, you got
• 12:54
  Cal back there. Yeah, you don't have Suarez, but
• 12:58
  you know who? Who?
• 13:00
  Who knows? They'll probably end up adding
• 13:02
  another. Another bat.
• 13:03
  You know what I'm saying? Another big bat that's out
• 13:05
  there. I'm gonna roll the dice for
• 13:09
  Seattle in this one. I think Seattle gets to the
• 13:12
  World Series. What about NL?
• 13:15
  Now? You got to do the NL.
• 13:17
  Go back quick. You think?
• 13:21
  You think Phillies play the Braves in the first wild card?
• 13:24
  Yeah, I think Phillies play the Braves.
• 13:26
  No, no, no, I don't know. So I'm doing the worst, right?
• 13:30
  So the worst of the three, Yeah, worst of the three will probably
• 13:33
  be Arizona. So OK, Arizona.
• 13:36
  So Philadelphia plays Atlanta and the other wild card will
• 13:39
  play the third wild card will play the third division winner.
• 13:43
  Yeah, and the third division winner, I will go for the IT
• 13:46
  will be the Brewers. I know the Dodgers are going to
• 13:48
  win 155 games. The Mets will probably win like,
• 13:53
  you know, like 909393. And they're going to play.
• 13:56
  They're going to play pretty good.
• 13:58
  Dodgers. You assume Dodgers will get the
• 14:00
  butt of the for top team, right? So.
• 14:01
  Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
• 14:03
  OK #2. Because is this because they
• 14:05
  they play against Colorado? I mean like 20 times, they're
• 14:08
  just going to they're going to go 20 and O like, you know what
• 14:10
  I'm saying? So I mean, no, no offense to no
• 14:15
  offense to the Rockets, you're still a big league team.
• 14:17
  I just think that these guys are very, very good over there.
• 14:20
  Right. And they're, the Dodgers are
• 14:23
  going to play against San Diego and they're that's going to be a
• 14:26
  dog fight. Well, kind of not really.
• 14:28
  I mean, they're probably just start laughing, you know, in the
• 14:30
  first half at least the Brewers, the Brewers, I mean that
• 14:35
  division, I mean, they're just they're just going to play good.
• 14:38
  They're going to play extremely, extremely good 500 baseball.
• 14:41
  They're going to. Be well over 500, but I just
• 14:45
  think that that division is not as strong as the other two.
• 14:48
  So who wins between both wild card games?
• 14:53
  Damn. Philly's Braves, if you had to
• 14:56
  pick. And then Brewers.
• 14:57
  Brewers. You know, Philly, Philly got
• 15:00
  something going on. I think I think they beat, I
• 15:02
  think they beat the Braves. But at the same time, I mean,
• 15:04
  who who else is is what's the name healthy this year over
• 15:07
  there with the Braves? The righty strike Strider,
• 15:09
  Strider. Strider's on the IL with oblique
• 15:12
  injury, but he should be back later in the year, right?
• 15:18
  It'll be a dogfight. I got, I mean, as of right now,
• 15:21
  preliminary, I got, I got Philly.
• 15:23
  Philly won it, OK? I put Philly and then Brewers.
• 15:25
  Diamondbacks, I assume? Yeah, and you know what happened
• 15:30
  last time the Brewers played the Diamondbacks and the
• 15:32
  Diamondbacks won it. But I got the Brewers because
• 15:35
  old Boy is going to come back. You got, so you got Phillies
• 15:40
  versus Dodgers. Oh, I know your answer there.
• 15:44
  And. Then Yep, Yep, just go in.
• 15:46
  Just give it to those Boo guys. Yeah.
• 15:48
  And then you got the the Brewers versus the the Mets.
• 15:52
  I got the Mets also. So Dodgers.
• 15:55
  Dodgers. Mets.
• 15:59
  Dodgers, Mets in the NLCS. And then you got Dodgers, I
• 16:02
  assume, right? Or do you have the Mets?
• 16:06
  I don't know. I got the Dodgers.
• 16:10
  Yeah, I'm bullshitting. I think we got the Dodgers
• 16:15
  winning it right, so. Yeah, and I'm not just saying
• 16:18
  just because I was two teams I played for now I just really
• 16:21
  think that, you know, the Dodgers just they, I mean, and
• 16:25
  and you got to realize this too, they're going to make some more
• 16:27
  moves. Yeah, you know they're going.
• 16:29
  To make some more moves too. They're going to, they're going
• 16:32
  to, they're going to. I mean, I think the one of the
• 16:34
  big ones is that the big signing, I think we'll put the
• 16:37
  that that literally the Dodgers put the nail in the coffin when
• 16:40
  they got Diaz because they already had bullpen.
• 16:43
  They already had bullpen help already.
• 16:44
  They already had a good bullpen. Now you're going to get him with
• 16:47
  the trumpet and stuff like that. Like, come on, bro.
• 16:49
  Like what are you? What are we doing right now?
• 16:50
  You just cheating now? But yeah, I think, I think, I
• 16:54
  think the Dodgers are messing the ALCS.
• 16:57
  Yeah, good one. They'll probably go like 7.
• 16:59
  I think it'll go six games and Dodgers are going to win, be
• 17:02
  back in the World Series again. Jay, what's your thoughts?
• 17:05
  I'm pretty sure you went through the whole process with Trayvon.
• 17:08
  Trayvon, his elaboration, you probably have it a little bit
• 17:13
  quicker. Well, what's your thoughts?
• 17:14
  I was gonna say, yeah, he, he went through the whole thing,
• 17:17
  but I'm just looking at it. I we're somewhere in a a few
• 17:23
  ways I'd say. What?
• 17:25
  What are the difference in? Your I'm going to go with my AO
• 17:29
  first and like I said, I'm going to have three teams out of the
• 17:33
  Ali think the Yankees, the Blue Jays and the Red Sox are all
• 17:39
  going to make it. But I think the Blue Jays, like
• 17:41
  T set, are going to win the the AL East.
• 17:44
  OK. I think the Blue Jays are going
• 17:46
  to win it. The Yankees are going to be in
• 17:47
  the wild card and the Red Sox are going to be in the wild card
• 17:52
  and then are the Central. I think Detroit's going to win
• 17:55
  it. OK, same thing as Jay.
• 17:58
  And then I think Cleveland's going to be in the wild card and
• 18:04
  then out of AOF. Same thing.
• 18:06
  Same thing. OK.
• 18:07
  Yeah, and out of AOF, I think the Mariners are going to be in.
• 18:10
  Same thing. OK, Seattle wild card games.
• 18:14
  Who would you say has the top wild card?
• 18:16
  Cleveland. Yankees.
• 18:17
  Red Sox. I'd say the Yankees have the top
• 18:25
  wild card spot, followed by followed by Boston and then
• 18:32
  Cleveland. The Red Sox, Yankees wild card
• 18:35
  game, man, I'm about that man. That's like a third.
• 18:39
  And then Cleveland. So who OK.
• 18:41
  And then so who has The Who has the the bye weeks with with the
• 18:46
  AL divisions you think? The bye weeks I think will be
• 18:53
  Toronto and Detroit. They're drawing.
• 18:57
  So Seattle plays Cleveland. You have Seattle, Cleveland, NY,
• 19:04
  Seattle, Cleveland and same thing.
• 19:08
  Seattle, Cleveland and New York. Boston.
• 19:12
  Yeah. So who comes out?
• 19:14
  Who faces the Blue Jays between the the Yankees and red?
• 19:17
  Red. Sox.
• 19:19
  I think out of the Yankees, Red Sox game, I'm going to give it
• 19:25
  to Garrett Cole should be back by then, huh?
• 19:30
  Yeah, by June, July, probably June, late June, somewhere
• 19:34
  around there. I get it from the Yankees, I get
• 19:36
  it to the Yankees with Garrett figuring it out and him being
• 19:39
  The X Factor in the in the Wild Card series.
• 19:43
  OK. And then Seattle, Cleveland.
• 19:46
  Seattle, Cleveland. I have Seattle going through on
• 19:49
  that. Versus versus Detroit, OK,
• 19:52
  what's the, what's the ALCS matchup?
• 19:56
  LCS match up between. Yeah, Jays.
• 20:01
  Jays, Yankees. That's wild card in Seattle,
• 20:05
  Seattle, Detroit. Yeah, You like Detroit this
• 20:10
  year? I like.
• 20:13
  Or you like Seattle, I'm. Going to take Detroit in that
• 20:17
  series just because I feel like their bats are going to be able
• 20:22
  to talk. Seattle's pitching and Detroit's
• 20:25
  pitching staff right now is pretty good.
• 20:27
  So I think the pitching's going to be kind of almost even though
• 20:30
  I think just Detroit's bats are going to just be the little X
• 20:34
  Factor out of the Yankees and Blue Jays.
• 20:44
  Oh man, I like the Blue Jays. Again, OK, so be a Tiger Jays
• 20:51
  who goes to the World Series. I see this is The X Factor right
• 20:56
  here for me. I have the difference between
• 20:58
  everything. I have the tigers beating the
• 21:01
  voyage eggs this year all. Right, you got the Tigers.
• 21:05
  'Cause last year, last year Turker got his chance to go back
• 21:09
  to the World Series and then this year it'll be Verlander
• 21:11
  again. That's.
• 21:13
  Interesting. Yeah, that very interesting.
• 21:16
  All right, so NL, you got the Dodgers probably.
• 21:22
  Right. I'm going to go with out of the
• 21:27
  NL E we're going to have. Oh man.
• 21:36
  I think it's going to be a lot closer than people think it is.
• 21:39
  I think it is too. That's the problem.
• 21:40
  I think everybody, they're going to beat up on each other a lot
• 21:43
  over on that side. I'm going to give the NL East to
• 21:50
  the the Braves. I like, I like the Braves this
• 22:03
  year. I'm with you.
• 22:03
  With that I am. I am with you.
• 22:06
  And then the Phillies. Phillies or wild card or you
• 22:15
  don't have no. The Mets.
• 22:19
  It's gonna be Phillies and Mets on the wild card.
• 22:21
  The Mets are gonna be the last wild card, though.
• 22:24
  Mets are the final wild card. OK, but.
• 22:26
  The name isn't gonna win the NL Central, OK?
• 22:30
  I wrote that down. And then the Dodgers are gonna
• 22:34
  win the West, followed by. Who had the second wild card?
• 22:39
  The Padres are gonna be in the wild card as well.
• 22:42
  So you have you have them as a second.
• 22:44
  OK, so so wild card games, Philly.
• 22:47
  So who's going to get the bye weeks between the Dodgers,
• 22:51
  Brewers and Braves? The the bye weeks are going to
• 22:55
  be the Brewers and the Dodgers. OK, Brewers.
• 23:01
  Dodgers. Why so Phillies, Padres.
• 23:06
  Braves. Mets.
• 23:09
  Oh my God, That'll be something he's on like some sort of like,
• 23:15
  I don't know, restrictive leave or something because they're
• 23:18
  like free payroll. I don't know if he'll come back
• 23:21
  this year, but they think he might come back.
• 23:24
  Later if he comes back. If he comes back, then the
• 23:26
  Padres get that. If he doesn't, then the Phillies
• 23:30
  get. It OK.
• 23:34
  And then? If you have to say where it
• 23:36
  stands, you would say frillies for the time being or.
• 23:41
  Yeah. OK.
• 23:45
  So Phillies would be in the Yeah.
• 23:50
  Then they would play the Dodgers, Phillies, Dodgers.
• 23:54
  That's like trade one. Then I have who's in the other
• 23:56
  one? The Mets.
• 23:58
  Braves, Mets. The winner would face the
• 24:02
  Brewers, I believe. Yeah.
• 24:04
  Braves, Mets. I'm going to give it to the
• 24:06
  Braves. So brains versus Brewers.
• 24:11
  And then I'm going to give that one to the Brewers.
• 24:15
  You like the Brewers? OK, so Brewers are in the so
• 24:17
  Brewers, Dodgers. Is that your?
• 24:21
  It'll be Who are the Dodgers? Phillies.
• 24:23
  That's interesting. I think it's going to be a
• 24:26
  little closer. I've taken the Dodgers just
• 24:28
  because the Phillies are going to have so many games and
• 24:30
  they're going to be tired at that point that I'm going to
• 24:31
  take the Dodgers and then we have the Dodgers.
• 24:38
  Brewers, right? Yeah, NLCS.
• 24:43
  I'm going to take the Brewers. Oh, you got the Brewers in the
• 24:47
  World Series. Wow.
• 24:50
  I love it. All right.
• 24:53
  I can fuck with that. It's so, it's so many good
• 24:58
  teams. I mean, I just like if oh boy
• 25:00
  comes back healthy, Oh yeah. I mean, they're going to,
• 25:04
  they're going to run through it. They're going to run.
• 25:06
  They're going to run through the wild card for sure.
• 25:09
  Who's the winner of the World Series between the Brewers and
• 25:12
  Tigers? Brewers and Tigers the old N the
• 25:18
  mid N World Series you have You have the Detroit Tigers winning
• 25:26
  it all the war. Of 2006, 2026.
• 25:32
  Yeah. I say 2006, 2026, the roar.
• 25:37
  I don't. Know Tigers 2026 there.
• 25:41
  You go. That's so you got the Dodgers,
• 25:44
  Trayvon, Do you got Rob? What's your I'm curious what Rob
• 25:48
  thinks. I think Rob and I are gonna have
• 25:50
  very swear. Answers.
• 25:52
  We'll go through it quick, but OK.
• 25:56
  And in the NL E I'm going to say like I want to say Atlanta, man,
• 26:01
  but they're they have so many injuries.
• 26:02
  Can they overcome them? I mean, I think it's going to be
• 26:05
  a three headed monster in that division.
• 26:07
  You know what I'm going to say Atlanta, I'm going to say
• 26:09
  Atlanta too, but the Phillies will be right there.
• 26:13
  And then in the NL Central, I'm going to say the I think, I
• 26:18
  think it's the Brewers. And in the, in the forget,
• 26:27
  what's the other division there in the Central West?
• 26:30
  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just put Dodgers at the top.
• 26:34
  It didn't. I forgot it.
• 26:35
  So Dodgers, of course, I'm going to say the Phillies are one of
• 26:42
  them and probably the Mets, but I'm going to make a bold take
• 26:48
  here and they and they don't make the playoffs like I think
• 26:52
  they I think that that's that's not that's a side take.
• 26:56
  Like I think my prediction is they make a wild card, but I'm
• 27:00
  going to go further and say that there's a chance that they I
• 27:04
  think that they missed the playoffs men again.
• 27:09
  And then I'm going to put the and I, I think, yeah, man, it's
• 27:16
  tough, man. Between the Reds, the Reds and
• 27:19
  the Pirates. I think they're gonna be
• 27:21
  fighting for the last wild card stop spot.
• 27:24
  I'm gonna say the Pirates. I'm gonna say the Pirates get
• 27:27
  in, just as I'm gonna be different here.
• 27:30
  Yeah. OK.
• 27:34
  That's my NO, OK. And my AO is.
• 27:40
  You got one more, We got one more wild card.
• 27:42
  You got one more wild card. No, I said Philly's, I said
• 27:46
  Philly's Mets. I said yeah, I said Philly's
• 27:48
  Mets. And well, I, yeah, Pirates.
• 27:50
  But I think it's going to be come down the Pirates and the
• 27:52
  Reds. But I'll, I'll take a stab on
• 27:56
  the Pirates. What do you think about the wild
• 27:58
  card games for? Oh, OK.
• 28:01
  We're doing the the entire NL side first.
• 28:03
  OK, Yeah, OK. The wild card, like the BI teams
• 28:08
  are, are obviously the Dodgers. And I want to say, I mean, I'm
• 28:19
  gonna say Atlanta was the other BI team.
• 28:22
  I'm gonna say they overcome their injuries and just have a
• 28:25
  good year. So who has the third wild card
• 28:28
  team, the Pirates or the Mets or the Phillies?
• 28:32
  Pirates of the Phillies the third, I said.
• 28:34
  Phillies, Mets and and Pirates. Oh, you mean, oh, you mean the
• 28:38
  third wild card? See.
• 28:39
  OK, yeah, the Pirates, of course.
• 28:41
  So the Pirates will play the Brewers.
• 28:44
  So. Yeah, they get their ass kicked.
• 28:50
  Who the Brewers kicked the rats or?
• 28:52
  Yeah, yeah, they beat them. And then I guess it's all bold
• 28:58
  tapes. I just won't go on the record as
• 29:00
  saying that I'm kind of being different here.
• 29:03
  Like none of this I might be got us wrong at the end of the year
• 29:07
  banking on it. Who's Mets?
• 29:09
  Phillies. Mets, Mets, Phillies, I want to
• 29:13
  say. I want to say the Phillies win
• 29:15
  that. OK.
• 29:21
  And then the Dodgers play the Phillies.
• 29:27
  I think I'm just going to say the Dodgers.
• 29:31
  I'll be the cheap, cheap boy. Yeah, Dodgers, Dodgers.
• 29:34
  And then who plays the Brewers? The the Was it the Braves?
• 29:39
  The Braves, Yeah, I want to say, I want to say the Braves.
• 29:45
  OK, so Dodgers, I. Want to say the Braves?
• 29:48
  So it's going to be Braves, Dodgers.
• 29:51
  And then who? Does the other thing I'm going
• 29:54
  to say the fucking Braves, man. Wow, OK, I'm, I, I mean, I mean,
• 30:01
  that's another bold take. I think it's going to be the
• 30:03
  Dodgers, of course, but I'm, I'm going to say the Braves.
• 30:07
  I'm going to take a stab on it and just say the Braves, man,
• 30:11
  they they, they always want to beat the Dodgers man in the
• 30:13
  playoffs. So maybe this is their year, you
• 30:16
  know? Yeah, What about so?
• 30:19
  Who gets to So who wins the division?
• 30:21
  I know your answer. I don't forget.
• 30:23
  Yeah, he's you don't have to say.
• 30:25
  Yeah, it's it's yeah. Yeah, it's a Blue Jays.
• 30:27
  I'll be biased. The West, I think it's Texas.
• 30:32
  I think Texas wins the West. Wow, I like that.
• 30:35
  That's bold. Oh shit, that's bold man.
• 30:40
  I'm going to be bold, man. I told you I'm going to be bold.
• 30:42
  I might be dead ass and I probably will be dead ass wrong
• 30:45
  on half of this shit, but I'm going to be bold.
• 30:52
  I'm just going to be, I'm trying.
• 30:53
  I'm trying to be different right from you guys, but I I think the
• 30:58
  Tigers went to central you guys and then my wild card teams are.
• 31:05
  Seattle. Seattle's wild card.
• 31:08
  OK. Yeah, Seattle's Wild Card 1,
• 31:10
  Boston's Wild Card 2 and the Yankees are Wild Card 3.
• 31:15
  Wow, I like this. I'm hoping the Yankees don't
• 31:21
  make the playoffs, by the way, but such a hater, I know.
• 31:27
  So who has the bye weeks between Tigers, Blue Jays and Rangers?
• 31:35
  I'm gonna say fuck that Tigers team is good man.
• 31:42
  So you got tigers, Tigers as a bye week.
• 31:46
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, both of them.
• 31:48
  Yeah. I think it's the Jays and the
• 31:49
  Tigers and then. OK, so Yankees the third one.
• 31:53
  So Yankees play the Rangers, right?
• 31:55
  So. Yeah, and I think the Rangers
• 31:57
  take them out. Wow, wow, wow.
• 32:02
  Like. I said it was going to be
• 32:03
  different, man. I wrote it all down so I got it
• 32:06
  all. How's Seattle and Boston?
• 32:10
  Seattle's Seattle and Boston. I think Seattle's going to be
• 32:13
  Boston. I would Trayvon and I like.
• 32:16
  I think Seattle's really good. So you got Seattle and Detroit
• 32:20
  and Toronto and Texas? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:25
  So. So what's the next one?
• 32:26
  The next one's the Yankees and. Rangers, well, you already, you
• 32:31
  said the Rangers are going to. Be all right, all right, right,
• 32:33
  right, right. What's the next one you said?
• 32:35
  Rangers. Jays.
• 32:37
  No interested. Oh yeah, no.
• 32:39
  You know, Rangers, Tigers and Seattle versus Toronto in the
• 32:43
  ALDS. I want a rematch of of of 2015
• 32:48
  men 2016 with the Rangers and. Blues So you think it's Toronto
• 32:53
  Rangers ALCS. Yeah, yeah, because you know
• 32:56
  that they're gonna talk shit on their Twitter page, man, like
• 32:58
  they always like, they celebrate host, they celebrate Jose
• 33:02
  Bautista getting punched in the face, for God's sake.
• 33:05
  I know, but but I, I want to say them, but I don't know if I can
• 33:12
  go against the Tigers, man. I think they're that fucking
• 33:15
  good, I really do. Hey, let me let me tell you, let
• 33:20
  me tell you the the projected starting rotation school Valdez
• 33:26
  Flaherty, Verlander and Casey Mize and they have a bunch of
• 33:31
  prospects right now. That's a hell.
• 33:33
  That's a hell. That's.
• 33:35
  That's that's what I'm saying. Like, can you know Evaldi
• 33:39
  degrom, Mackenzie Gore, you know, lighter can.
• 33:44
  I mean, that's a good rotation too.
• 33:46
  But I still take. I still take.
• 33:49
  Yeah, I got to take the Tigers. Yeah, I got it.
• 33:52
  Yeah. Tigers with Toronto.
• 33:54
  You just. Yeah, mine will be right.
• 33:58
  Hey. Hey.
• 33:59
  We had, we, we faced the Tigers a bunch of times when we were
• 34:02
  back in, you know, back in like the late 80s and.
• 34:06
  So you got, I know what's your answer?
• 34:08
  It's it's Toronto versus Atlanta right Rematch in 92.
• 34:11
  Yes Sir, baby rematch in 92. That's why I went with that
• 34:17
  right? Is is the rematch?
• 34:19
  I know, I already know your answer.
• 34:21
  You're going to pick Toronto to win the whole the whole thing,
• 34:22
  right? Yeah, and why not?
• 34:26
  We got to get it done last in the this year we didn't get that
• 34:28
  2. Hours away from winning it, man.
• 34:30
  You know, like they should. They should have beat that team
• 34:33
  man, I'm sorry when they outplayed the Dodgers in every
• 34:35
  facet, whether Dodgers fans want to freaking admit it.
• 34:40
  Rob letting it out, man. There's there's one guy we
• 34:43
  didn't we didn't beat and that's photo man.
• 34:45
  And I'll say Rojas played his ass off in that series.
• 34:49
  But those like those are two guys that really made a
• 34:52
  difference for them, man. Other than that, the Blue Jays
• 34:55
  outplayed them in every facet in that series.
• 34:57
  So. Let's say you're not wrong about
• 35:01
  that, man. All right, I'll go.
• 35:03
  So let me do the NL. So NL W Dodgers, NL E Braves and
• 35:11
  NL Central, the Cincinnati Reds, that's my team to win that
• 35:16
  division. My wild cards will be the
• 35:20
  Milwaukee Brewers. On my wild card one, my wild
• 35:25
  card 2 would be the New York Mets and the wild card 3.
• 35:34
  This might be the toughest decision of my I'm going to put
• 35:36
  the Phillies. You got to put the Phillies.
• 35:38
  That's a wild card 3. So I got Reds versus Phillies in
• 35:42
  the wild card and Brewers versus Mets.
• 35:49
  I'm going to go with I'm going to go with the Phillies versus
• 35:53
  Phillies come out of there. And I got the I'm going to go
• 35:58
  with the Brewers. I think the Brewers are their
• 36:01
  pitcher is still too strong in that in that race.
• 36:05
  So what would it be the Dodgers and Brewers?
• 36:09
  Dodgers, Brewers, NLDS one and Dodgers versus Brewers And what
• 36:19
  is it Phillies, Phillies versus Braves?
• 36:23
  I got Dodgers, Braves for MLCS. So this is my caveat about the
• 36:30
  Braves. If they can pull out the deal
• 36:34
  for Joe Ryan and and Byron Buxton, I'll have the Braves
• 36:40
  going to the World Series. But as.
• 36:42
  A bucks to give up his his low trade clause to go out there to
• 36:47
  Atlanta. Well, this is the thing and what
• 36:49
  I heard to. Give one up to I think is to go
• 36:52
  home. Yeah.
• 36:53
  And The thing is that that there, see, I forgot to bring
• 36:55
  out the twins is Derek Falvey got let go or he got he they
• 36:59
  came to a mutual agreement and I think that he didn't want to do
• 37:02
  it. And I think with Byron having a
• 37:05
  new home, but like he has a home in Atlanta.
• 37:07
  So that's the only team, if they can go get go in a blockbuster
• 37:11
  deal, those two, I'll have the Braves in the World Series.
• 37:15
  But, well, that means they're going to have to get, they're
• 37:17
  going to have to trade probably Mike Juriski, whatever that
• 37:21
  means. You'll trade him.
• 37:23
  Yeah, they might have to move some guys while they don't have
• 37:25
  a full-fledged DH, they might have to give up Nacho Alvarez,
• 37:28
  maybe some of their rotation guys, some of their future guys.
• 37:32
  But I think I think I think with that, they want they go get Joe
• 37:36
  Ryan to solidify with Chris Sale.
• 37:39
  I could see it. I mean, who is who's beating
• 37:43
  that? Like those two, right?
• 37:45
  So that's what they told. So that's my caveat with
• 37:49
  Atlanta. But right now as it stands, I
• 37:50
  have the Dodgers in the World Series.
• 37:53
  So all right, the Ali's, I have the Blue Jays.
• 37:56
  I think they're going to run it back.
• 37:57
  I think they're better than last year.
• 37:59
  So I have the Jays with the, I think they're going to get the
• 38:03
  top seed. I'm with you with the Tigers.
• 38:06
  I think they're going to get the top second seed, right.
• 38:09
  And the third seed I, I'll put Seattle for the time being.
• 38:16
  I'm gonna. So that's my, that's my 3.
• 38:20
  And my wild cards are the New York Yankees, the Boston Red
• 38:26
  Sox. Third one is tough, 3rd 1 might
• 38:32
  be real tough because it comes down to if the Royals can get
• 38:36
  another bat, if Baltimore can get another starting pitching.
• 38:40
  But I will put Cleveland as my third wild card team.
• 38:44
  So Cleveland would play Seattle in the wild card They're.
• 38:50
  Playing right now. Yeah, I know they're playing
• 38:53
  right now. That.
• 38:56
  Game. That game's still going on, man.
• 38:59
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 39:02
  I got the Yankees. Jays rematch.
• 39:07
  Yeah, yeah, I like New York coming out against Boston.
• 39:10
  If only Boston can go get another bat to replace
• 39:13
  pregnant's productivity. I think they're going to miss
• 39:15
  his bat. Bat.
• 39:18
  I think it's going to be New York hit Seattle and Seattle
• 39:21
  plays the trophies. Rematch of last year.
• 39:23
  I think Tigers I have, I have the the, the Jays and Tigers
• 39:33
  ALCS and then I have the Jays coming out.
• 39:40
  They can beat any pitching in baseball and they're better than
• 39:42
  last year, especially defensively.
• 39:44
  I think they're deeper too. I got the rematch of the World
• 39:48
  Series and this time I have the Jays winning it all.
• 39:52
  That's how I'm going to end this.
• 39:54
  So I think the Jays win the whole thing.
• 39:55
  I I just think that if, if you can beat any pitching in
• 39:59
  baseball like the Jay, there's I think the Jays could do it.
• 40:03
  If they can figure out Yamamoto, they can win it all.
• 40:06
  So yeah, we we appreciate you guys, man.
• 40:10
  It was awesome, man another another annual, you know, round

• 41:00
  more about it. Yeah, so.

  Catch me on Instagram, Twitter, X, whatever you call it and
• 41:12
  Facebook as well. Also, the brand now has a
• 41:16
  TikTok, but you can catch me at Jaxland, 58JA, XLAN, D58, and
• 41:24
  that's for X in IG. But for the brand we did, like I
• 41:29
  said, I'm the founder, Trayvon's part of it.
• 41:31
  He's a coach, he's one of the main coaches, the second in
• 41:34
  command for the whole thing. And we're starting the smile
• 41:39
  zone. It's on Twitter, it's on X, it's
• 41:43
  on IG, it's on TikTok, it's on YouTube.
• 41:46
  We're all over the place. But it's a baseball mentorship
• 41:48
  app to make sure that the next generation is getting all the
• 41:52
  coaching and all the knowledge that they can possibly get to be
• 41:55
  better, not only on the field, but off the field.
• 41:57
  So the community, coaches and everybody can rely on them to do
• 42:01
  their jobs without having to really ask.
• 42:03
  And that they're grateful to be there and build a nice positive
• 42:07
  community because all these kids need better coaching to a
• 42:10
  certain degree at this point in time, I feel like because
• 42:12
  there's a lot of coaches that are just there to just say
• 42:16
  they're baseball coaches and not there for the kids necessarily.
• 42:19
  So we're there to make sure that we're mentors for these kids
• 42:22
  that are trying to live their dreams to be like we were.
• 42:24
  Because everybody that works with us and that works under me
• 42:28
  are all former professional big league players.
• 42:32
  All of us have had Major League experience or the one person
• 42:35
  that doesn't right now that's part of us has been a
• 42:38
  professional scout for the past 12 years as well.
• 42:40
  So we have tons of knowledge, tons of experience.
• 42:43
  We're here to service the youth and parents and coaches to help
• 42:48
  them be better and whatever they're trying to do, but help
• 42:50
  baseball be better ultimately. So catch us on smile Zone.
