- 0:45Speaker 2: are back with another edition of the MLB Show. I
- 0:48Speaker 2: got my guy Matt with me. The chat is going
- 0:50Speaker 2: hamd over Ham being late yet once again, But hey, listen, guys,
- 0:54Speaker 2: I don't get to talk to Matt that often. When
- 0:56Speaker 2: I do, we like to chop it up a little bit,
- 0:57Speaker 2: catch up, talk some stories, but we start glad that
- 1:00Speaker 2: you're tuning in. Do us a favor. Make sure you
- 1:02Speaker 2: hit that like, make sure you hit that subscribe button.
- 1:05Speaker 2: We've been rock and roll. We've been busy over here,
- 1:07Speaker 2: personal life, professional life. But Matt, I'll bring you in
- 1:10Speaker 2: right away. How you been my man? I think you
- 1:13Speaker 2: missed last week, then I missed the week before that,
- 1:15Speaker 2: so it's nice to do a show with you again.
- 1:17Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 1:18Speaker 1: Yeah, it was nice catching up a little bit before.
- 1:20Speaker 1: But uh yeah, we got a big Friday night slate
- 1:22Speaker 1: to talk about back in Vegas with that crazy ballpark
- 1:26Speaker 1: obviously hot weather, so we'll talk about that. Otherwise, normal stuff.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Life's being good. Happy to be on here with you.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Missed you So excited about this show. We always have
- 1:38Speaker 1: fun and I expect nothing less tonight.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I certainly do. And I thought I was going
- 1:43Speaker 2: to avoid it, but it doesn't look like I'm going to.
- 1:46Speaker 2: I was tuting Merrill Kelly last week and it wasn't pretty,
- 1:50Speaker 2: my friends, it was not pretty. Naids dunked all over me.
- 1:53Speaker 2: And if you all remember at ship at Nation, you
- 1:55Speaker 2: certainly saw him in the chat, you know. Not giving
- 1:59Speaker 2: me any slack, But enough about n Ads. We got
- 2:02Speaker 2: thirteen games to break it all down. We got course
- 2:05Speaker 2: Field two point zero. It may be the new course
- 2:07Speaker 2: field of MLB. We're halfway through a six game series
- 2:11Speaker 2: there in Las Vegas, so we're gonna break that one
- 2:13Speaker 2: all down. We're gonna break all thirteen of them down.
- 2:15Speaker 2: I'm using the stone over here, proprietary information that we have,
- 2:20Speaker 2: so let's get right get right into it. We got
- 2:22Speaker 2: the Padres coming across to the East coast to take
- 2:24Speaker 2: on this Orioles team. We got Griffin gas Canning taking
- 2:29Speaker 2: on Shane Baz. Gas Canning fifty three hundred bucks, super cheap.
- 2:33Speaker 2: He's been up and down a little bit this year, Matt,
- 2:36Speaker 2: but looks like he's on the downward track than Shane Baz,
- 2:39Speaker 2: who hasn't been great in my opinion, he's our fourth
- 2:41Speaker 2: ranked pitcher up here. Talk to me a little bit
- 2:43Speaker 2: about this game, any pitchers or any bats or stacks
- 2:46Speaker 2: padres at the Orioles.
- 2:50Speaker 1: It's tough because it's such a big slate, and obviously
- 2:54Speaker 1: the Athletics the game, but mostly the Athletics, like specifically,
- 3:00Speaker 1: looks so much better than every other team. You have
- 3:03Speaker 1: to put it in comparison to that. That being said,
- 3:08Speaker 1: Griffin Canning, especially against left handers, not someone we've been
- 3:12Speaker 1: afraid to pick on. I don't think Baltimore is a
- 3:17Speaker 1: bad stack at all. They just don't stand out as
- 3:20Speaker 1: a stack that like, if I'm making one lineup, I'm
- 3:23Speaker 1: gonna prioritize Canning himself. No, thank you. The other side,
- 3:29Speaker 1: it's interesting because you take San Diego out of this ballpark.
- 3:33Speaker 1: They've been a little bit better recently, but man, they've
- 3:36Speaker 1: just been god awful all year. Seemingly. The back half
- 3:39Speaker 1: of that lineup is ugly. You get a Machado revenge spot.
- 3:45Speaker 1: But I still think Shane Boz is in play here.
- 3:49Speaker 1: He's been pretty up and down, but he's coming off
- 3:52Speaker 1: a recent stretch where he was really good. He's affordable,
- 3:58Speaker 1: and the other thing I'll say about him. At the
- 4:00Speaker 1: beginning of the day. Last night, when this slate opened
- 4:03Speaker 1: up on DraftKings, Ben Brown was pitching for the Cubs
- 4:06Speaker 1: at eight k he looked like a slam dunk. He's
- 4:10Speaker 1: no longer on the slate, so now need to look
- 4:13Speaker 1: a little bit harder. Obviously, you've got the Mizz. You
- 4:17Speaker 1: got Joe Ryan Sasaki, who I like, but I think
- 4:22Speaker 1: at seventy eight hundred oz, is definitely in play if
- 4:25Speaker 1: nothing else. I don't love the bats here. On a
- 4:28Speaker 1: smaller slate, I can make a case for it, but
- 4:31Speaker 1: not to night. I think it's pretty much Baz the
- 4:35Speaker 1: Orioles and that's it. But nothing if I were playing
- 4:38Speaker 1: one lineup, how about you?
- 4:40Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, No, no Padres for me. They've been bad.
- 4:43Speaker 2: I mean I love using our products obviously in the Stone,
- 4:47Speaker 2: I mean the Stone loves the Orioles. Jackson Holliday hit
- 4:51Speaker 2: a grand Slam the other night. Certainly would love if
- 4:54Speaker 2: he was batting, you know, close sort of fifth or
- 4:56Speaker 2: sixth up there he's bat ninth. I think he's in
- 4:58Speaker 2: a good spot. Cow Patty Colton Cawser. He hits bombs
- 5:02Speaker 2: and they're cheap too. You're rolling the dice, I think,
- 5:05Speaker 2: especially you know, going up against the going up against
- 5:09Speaker 2: the Orioles. There are going up against athletics there. But
- 5:12Speaker 2: I could see an Orioles, you know, Mini, And then
- 5:15Speaker 2: I could see Shane Bobs as well. But I'm not
- 5:18Speaker 2: playing to tease, even though he did hit a walk
- 5:20Speaker 2: off bomb the other night, I believe, but just let
- 5:24Speaker 2: me look and see the Orioles. The Orioles are a
- 5:26Speaker 2: top eight stack for us on our site. Uh and no,
- 5:30Speaker 2: no padres from me, moving on to.
- 5:34Speaker 1: The go ahead. No, I got, I'm I muted? Am
- 5:38Speaker 1: I good? Yeah?
- 5:40Speaker 2: Next game up on the slate, we got the Tigers
- 5:43Speaker 2: headed to Matt's hometown Cleveland to take on the Guardians.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Jack Flaherty versus Tanner. I think it's Biby. Correct me
- 5:50Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. I always mess his name up. But uh,
- 5:53Speaker 2: talk to me about this game. This This is to me.
- 5:55Speaker 2: This is a low scoring game, but Tigers at the
- 5:58Speaker 2: Guardians with clarity and Biby.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Yeah. So this is another one. Like on a smaller slate,
- 6:05Speaker 1: I feel like you could like almost all sides of
- 6:07Speaker 1: this game. On this particular slate, Detroit's actually been a
- 6:13Speaker 1: lot better recently. They just broke the slate yesterday. Biby
- 6:18Speaker 1: seventy three hundred seems like a nice tack. He is
- 6:20Speaker 1: coming off his best start of the year, eight shutout innings.
- 6:23Speaker 1: I believe against Texas. It's hot here. I don't know
- 6:29Speaker 1: like I guess, all things considered, I like the byby
- 6:31Speaker 1: side more than I like Detroit. But man, it's hard
- 6:34Speaker 1: to want to plant your flag on him on this slate.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I guess if you want to stack the you know,
- 6:37Speaker 1: one of the expensive offenses in there. A couple we
- 6:40Speaker 1: like here. I don't mind hitching hitching my wagon to him,
- 6:44Speaker 1: but I don't feel great about it. The other side, Flaherty,
- 6:50Speaker 1: he's another guy. He's been pretty up and down. We've
- 6:52Speaker 1: seen him with nice strikeout upside. We've also seen him
- 6:55Speaker 1: struggle a lot. Cleveland's gonna throw out a ton of
- 6:59Speaker 1: lefties in him. It's like I said, it's hot, it's
- 7:03Speaker 1: good hitting weather. We're seeing that all over the country
- 7:05Speaker 1: right now. I think you could play kind of like
- 7:10Speaker 1: the last game, and we'll get to games that aren't
- 7:12Speaker 1: like this. I seriously think you could play any side
- 7:15Speaker 1: of this game. But nothing is a priority for me.
- 7:17Speaker 1: How I would rank it just because we don't have
- 7:20Speaker 1: great pitching options. I would probably go Baby, then Cleveland stack,
- 7:26Speaker 1: then Tiger stack, then Flaherty. But it's all really close.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I think all of the sides have upside, but none
- 7:34Speaker 1: of the side stand out is like something you need
- 7:36Speaker 1: to roster, don't you agree?
- 7:38Speaker 2: I agree? Yeah. I mean if I'm playing three teams,
- 7:41Speaker 2: I'm not getting to the Tiger. I might get to
- 7:43Speaker 2: the Tigers. And you pointed out the lefties if we
- 7:45Speaker 2: get bad Baby, like we got two or three starts
- 7:48Speaker 2: ago where the Nationals just had batting practice off of him,
- 7:51Speaker 2: James Wood went Yard. I know C. J. Edwards went Yard.
- 7:54Speaker 2: I think to hit five or six bobs against him,
- 7:56Speaker 2: and you said it's hot. I think the Tigers could
- 7:59Speaker 2: be in play maybe if you got to three teams.
- 8:01Speaker 2: But no Guardians for me. But man, that that Travis
- 8:07Speaker 2: Bizanna guy or however you say his name, he's a
- 8:09Speaker 2: he's a he's a good player. I really like him.
- 8:12Speaker 2: He's just a good player as a player in general,
- 8:15Speaker 2: not not necessarily today.
- 8:19Speaker 1: All right, anything else on this one, nothing else, I
- 8:23Speaker 1: don't think unless you got signed.
- 8:24Speaker 2: No nothing else. Let's move on to the next game.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Where there is some weather concern. Here there is slight
- 8:29Speaker 2: risk and rainy. Think about a twenty five percent chance
- 8:31Speaker 2: of rain to make sure you're tuned to that. If not,
- 8:34Speaker 2: you're gonna see Jack Peterson leading off for this mighty
- 8:37Speaker 2: vaunted Rangers offense, taking on my boys Sunny Gray for
- 8:41Speaker 2: this Red Sox team. Jack Lyder, Uh, we got some
- 8:44Speaker 2: Vandy boys going at each other tonight, Jack Lighter, former
- 8:47Speaker 2: Vandy boyd taking on Sunny Gray, former Vandy boy looking
- 8:50Speaker 2: forward to this one. So Rangers at the Red Sox.
- 8:54Speaker 2: You got my boy, Jack Petterson leading off, Matt and
- 8:57Speaker 2: your boy Mickey Gasper thirty three hundred late enough. I
- 9:02Speaker 2: know you're gonna be on Samackey Gasper taught me through
- 9:04Speaker 2: this one.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I hate to sound like a broken record,
- 9:09Speaker 1: but I'll throw it to you first. Do you feel
- 9:12Speaker 1: any differently about this game as far as like, Both
- 9:15Speaker 1: pitching options are okay, the stacks are also like okay?
- 9:22Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I guess I like the pitching
- 9:25Speaker 1: options more, but I can't see myself using Lighter or
- 9:28Speaker 1: Gray honest late Lighters cheap enough, but he's too inconsistent.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Didn't love what I saw from him last start out
- 9:35Speaker 1: Sonny Gray. The matchup's good, but I mean, I'm not
- 9:41Speaker 1: paying eighty three hundred for Sonny Gray personally here. Like
- 9:44Speaker 1: I think this is of all the games we've talked
- 9:47Speaker 1: about so far, I like this the least. I don't
- 9:50Speaker 1: hate it. I think that. You know, if you told
- 9:53Speaker 1: me that you love the Boston Stack here, I wouldn't
- 9:56Speaker 1: argue with you. But it's just not for me. Do
- 9:58Speaker 1: you like this game more than me?
- 10:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so. And then and then I
- 10:02Speaker 2: don't know exactly what the weather is gonna be, and
- 10:04Speaker 2: we'll look closer to Locke. But but yeah, I don't
- 10:08Speaker 2: love either one of these stacks. I have enough respect
- 10:10Speaker 2: for Lighter and Sonny Gray that I'm not gonna full
- 10:13Speaker 2: stack either side. You know, Durren Baton, what's he bat
- 10:19Speaker 2: in fifth? Now? I mean some guy named Caleb Durbin.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Uh yeah, no, thank you to neither one of these stacks.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Nicky Lopez former Royal Grade Nicky Lopez back there in
- 10:29Speaker 2: the These are some bad offenses, man. I don't think actually,
- 10:34Speaker 2: I don't think these these pitchers are bad options on
- 10:36Speaker 2: either side if the weather is going to cooperate, because
- 10:38Speaker 2: these offenses are pretty futrid in my opinion.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Yeah, let's look at the next one. Red's taken on
- 10:49Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks. Diamondbacks in the great American small park. Nickolodolo man.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Nick Lodolo struggled this year, but you want to talk
- 10:57Speaker 2: about the guy that can rack up ten k's, I
- 10:59Speaker 2: talk about it in my right up one time. I'm
- 11:01Speaker 2: a big fan of Nick Lodolo and his stuff, but
- 11:05Speaker 2: he's at home in this small park. Diamondbacks are popping
- 11:08Speaker 2: off the page when it comes to projections. Could tell
- 11:10Speaker 2: Marte switch hitters should have a good matchup lefty lefty
- 11:14Speaker 2: Corbet Carroll should have a good matchup Moreno Aeronato, I'm
- 11:19Speaker 2: not ruling out these Diamondbacks, but Diamondbacks at the Reds
- 11:24Speaker 2: e Rod and Buaro Riguez taking on Nick Lodolo.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is the first game that can
- 11:32Speaker 1: confidently say I like the bats a lot here. Lodolo
- 11:36Speaker 1: has not been great. You get Arizona in this ballpark.
- 11:40Speaker 1: I like the way they profiled as left handed pitching,
- 11:43Speaker 1: and they've got some really cheap guys in the lineup,
- 11:45Speaker 1: namely lou James Groover two K first base and Jordan
- 11:51Speaker 1: Lawler are back in our lives. Harold, the top prospect,
- 11:55Speaker 1: has been up and down at the major league level,
- 11:57Speaker 1: but he's twenty four hundred and hitting seventh. I believe
- 12:00Speaker 1: obviously the ka Tell Martes of the world are gonna
- 12:02Speaker 1: look great here. Yeah. Arizona of all the teams we've
- 12:06Speaker 1: talked about so far, easily easily my favorite stack, not
- 12:09Speaker 1: my favorite stack on the slate, but of all the
- 12:11Speaker 1: teams we've talked about, they're definitely number one. And then
- 12:14Speaker 1: Cincinnati e Rod. I mean, he's been getting by with
- 12:18Speaker 1: smoking mirrors mostly. Obviously, we don't love the Reds lineup
- 12:23Speaker 1: without Elie, but I think they're in play. Also here
- 12:25Speaker 1: this is a game for offense. For me, it's hot
- 12:28Speaker 1: around these parts. I like the Arizona stack a little
- 12:31Speaker 1: bit more, but I think both stacks are in play.
- 12:33Speaker 1: How about yourself?
- 12:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when with Naids, with Naids chattering me
- 12:40Speaker 2: and the chat, I gotta go with my boy Lodolo
- 12:42Speaker 2: and say the d bags or they probably the worst
- 12:44Speaker 2: stack on the slate, so Lodolo mowsed them down. You
- 12:49Speaker 2: want to talk about revenge game? U Haanio Suarez, former
- 12:53Speaker 2: diamondback taking on his former mates, and he's a notable
- 12:58Speaker 2: lefty masher. I like this red stack a little bit better. Uh.
- 13:02Speaker 2: I was waiting for you. I was waiting for you
- 13:04Speaker 2: to say someone's getting negative regression. I was, and and
- 13:07Speaker 2: you said Rod has been getting by with smoking mirror.
- 13:09Speaker 2: So hopefully there's some negative regression coming for e Rod.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Give me this reds. I like them Diamondbacks. I think
- 13:16Speaker 2: they're gonna burn us, hopefully. That's my Uh, that's I'm
- 13:19Speaker 2: playing my flag on that and saying, Lodolo gets I'll
- 13:22Speaker 2: say seven plusk's tonight. Nate says, yeah, all right, what's
- 13:30Speaker 2: seven plus k's matt over.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Under under easy? Let me see, let me see he's.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Not well, he'll be on there for three innings, right.
- 13:46Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's non strikeouts. Okay?
- 13:55Speaker 2: Oh oh, seven strikeouts is plus three ninety. That's that's easy.
- 13:59Speaker 2: That it's like stealing money. Yeah, seven strikeouts for la
- 14:09Speaker 2: dolo yohis is high end the season. I don't know
- 14:14Speaker 2: what does it have to do with today.
- 14:16Speaker 1: I'm just curious. It has nothing to do with today.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Probably four five?
- 14:21Speaker 1: No, Well, I guess my follow up would be, then,
- 14:25Speaker 1: why are you so confident in him having so many.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Today he's gotten seven six, he's gotten seven and six
- 14:31Speaker 2: or is two highest? I just I mean, I think
- 14:34Speaker 2: he's a guy that can go out there and get
- 14:36Speaker 2: you ten ks. Like he's a good pitcher. He's sixty
- 14:39Speaker 2: seven hundred bucks going up against a Chalky Diamondbacks team.
- 14:42Speaker 2: I think he's a good player. You gotta pair him
- 14:44Speaker 2: with the miz play those Oakland bats.
- 14:46Speaker 1: I mean, how Chalky is there is only really gonna be.
- 14:49Speaker 2: I mean, they'll probably come in top I'll say top four.
- 14:52Speaker 2: I mean, it's definitely not gonna be Oakland high. But
- 14:54Speaker 2: let's see where we have him at ownership. But I
- 15:01Speaker 2: mean double digits for most of them thirteen games, slate,
- 15:07Speaker 2: I mean outside of Oakland, who's gonna get ownership? Nobody really, right.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really just the athletics. So like to that point,
- 15:19Speaker 1: maybe Colorado, Colorado's got to get love to. They're cheaper
- 15:23Speaker 1: and they're in the same ballpark. Like Gauge Jump is good,
- 15:25Speaker 1: but he's not proven.
- 15:27Speaker 2: Gage Jump is popping and he's I know I'm skipping ahead,
- 15:31Speaker 2: but he's good. We love him too. Let's see what
- 15:36Speaker 2: the chat saying. Yeah, Rockies. Nothing is chalky outside of
- 15:41Speaker 2: this show is off the road. All right, Well, I
- 15:44Speaker 2: got I got plus three ninety for Lodolo at seven.
- 15:49Speaker 2: K's let's go ahead and get him at a six.
- 15:52Speaker 2: CA's just for some uh, just for someecurity, and uh,
- 15:58Speaker 2: let's go five. He's almost guaranteed to get five.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Right, are you talking about like Dolk still?
- 16:06Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 16:07Speaker 1: I mean I don't know you're still on that.
- 16:10Speaker 2: All right, let's go. If we get seven, K's chat
- 16:14Speaker 2: just hammering. All right, we're gonna move off. Bigger fisher
- 16:20Speaker 2: fry than Lodolo. CA's We got a great slate to
- 16:22Speaker 2: talk about. We got the Braves, the best team in
- 16:25Speaker 2: the majors, just hitting the ball all over the yard.
- 16:28Speaker 2: There is some rain chances here, so make sure you're
- 16:31Speaker 2: paying close attention to them. To the rain. We got
- 16:34Speaker 2: Nola McLain, who's been having a pretty good season taking
- 16:36Speaker 2: on Spencer Strider ninety five hundred bucks. Pretty good pictures, Duel.
- 16:41Speaker 2: I'm not a huge huge fan of U of picking
- 16:45Speaker 2: on this ballpark, but the Cardinals didn't seem to mind
- 16:47Speaker 2: this ballpark this week. They just cut up all week long.
- 16:49Speaker 2: I feel like still know Ronald Acuna. He is on
- 16:52Speaker 2: the shelf. I believe the ten day I l Mauricio
- 16:55Speaker 2: du Bond's been having a phenomenal season taking on this
- 16:59Speaker 2: Mets team. Little NL East rivalry game. Talk to me
- 17:03Speaker 2: about this one. Braves at the Mets with two good
- 17:06Speaker 2: starting pitchers.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Yeah, two good starting pitchers, But I don't think either
- 17:10Speaker 1: starter I want to use here. I guess McClain would
- 17:14Speaker 1: be the one if I did, but I have not
- 17:18Speaker 1: really liked what I've seen from overhere the past handful
- 17:20Speaker 1: of starts, and I don't love the matchup for him
- 17:24Speaker 1: here either. I mean, obviously it's better without Acunya, but
- 17:27Speaker 1: it's still a very good Atlanta offense. I'm not excited
- 17:30Speaker 1: about McLain here. I'm not excited at all about you know,
- 17:34Speaker 1: spending up on Strider, who we know is very inconsistent.
- 17:39Speaker 1: So I'm out on the pitching here. But I'm also
- 17:41Speaker 1: out on the offenses because two pitchers I respect. So
- 17:45Speaker 1: this is a game for me play limited lineups? What's
- 17:49Speaker 1: it a thirteen game slate. I'm fine crossing this one off.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Like there are good players in this game, Jan Soto,
- 17:56Speaker 1: The Braves have a bunch of good hitters, obviously, if
- 17:58Speaker 1: you want to play those guys, be my guest for
- 18:00Speaker 1: me on my target other spots.
- 18:04Speaker 2: So no, Michael Harris, Matt Olson won off there just
- 18:06Speaker 2: pop off the page to me when I look at
- 18:08Speaker 2: him on the stone, No love there.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean those guys are good, so like any slate,
- 18:14Speaker 1: you could play them. But as much as McClain has
- 18:17Speaker 1: been struggling, I personally don't think that I'm gonna be
- 18:19Speaker 1: targeting him on this slate.
- 18:24Speaker 2: All right, no, mateo, but dubond is batting leadoff. Matt
- 18:30Speaker 2: Olsen looks really really good in this lineup, and then
- 18:33Speaker 2: on the other side, Yeah, subtle looks good, but I
- 18:35Speaker 2: hate his guts, so not playing him next up on
- 18:40Speaker 2: the slate should be a good one. Yankees at the
- 18:43Speaker 2: Blue Jays. Speaking of the Yankees, Matt, they I thought
- 18:47Speaker 2: we were gonna get some revenge, but there was no
- 18:49Speaker 2: sweet revenge. They kind of gave it to your guardians
- 18:52Speaker 2: this week. How'd you feel about that?
- 18:54Speaker 3: Not great, especially because I went to, Uh, did you
- 18:57Speaker 3: go the day game of the I did, but we
- 18:59Speaker 3: only acid, Like, I mean, it was so hot, and
- 19:02Speaker 3: I brought my four year old and she.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Was having a lot of fun until she wasn't our
- 19:09Speaker 1: Our seats were like directly in the heat. It was
- 19:12Speaker 1: ninety five, so we didn't make it very long. But
- 19:15Speaker 1: we did go down there for a little bit. Saw
- 19:18Speaker 1: the leadoff bomb, which was fun. Messick didn't look good.
- 19:22Speaker 1: I played him on that slate and as soon as
- 19:23Speaker 1: I got down there, I was like, that was a mistake.
- 19:25Speaker 1: It was so hot you could just tell it was
- 19:27Speaker 1: going to be an offensive game. Yankees just gave it
- 19:30Speaker 1: to the Guards, is what it is. We took two
- 19:33Speaker 1: out of three in New York last week, so Guardians
- 19:36Speaker 1: have hit a little bit of a funk. But hopefully
- 19:38Speaker 1: they turned it around this weekend.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Hopefully they turned down this weekend and lone Wolf. Yeah,
- 19:42Speaker 2: John Jams hits the home run on Friday Night. You
- 19:44Speaker 2: gotta be a member, though, you gotta be a member
- 19:46Speaker 2: over at the Nation. We're giving away one twenty one
- 19:49Speaker 2: ticket all seeds along when he hits a home run
- 19:51Speaker 2: on Friday night only Friday nights only. Can't iterate that enough,
- 19:55Speaker 2: but certainly given that away if it win, he does
- 19:58Speaker 2: go yard. But let's get back to the game. What
- 20:00Speaker 2: do you know Another Middle Tennessee legend, Ryan Weathers on
- 20:03Speaker 2: the heel, taking on this Blue Jays team against my
- 20:05Speaker 2: boy Troy Savage, who's been slowly, slowly going the opposite direction.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Our stuff loves both of these pitchers over here. Might
- 20:13Speaker 2: as well take the under in this game. No, Aaron
- 20:16Speaker 2: Judge Tonight still out and is out for a few
- 20:20Speaker 2: more weeks, I believe. But talk to me about this
- 20:22Speaker 2: game Yankees at the Blue Jays.
- 20:28Speaker 1: Yeah, so this game is much more about the pitching
- 20:31Speaker 1: for me than the offenses. You got a young stud
- 20:34Speaker 1: into Savage who his price is falling. I still, even
- 20:39Speaker 1: without Judge, I'm not like, give me the it's not
- 20:43Speaker 1: for me insert pitcher against the Yankees here. That said,
- 20:46Speaker 1: the matchup got a lot more desirable because it just lower,
- 20:51Speaker 1: you know, it raises the floor, raises the ceiling without
- 20:54Speaker 1: Judge in that lineup. So just Savage, I'm in out
- 20:57Speaker 1: of eighty five hundred. There's a couple other guys out
- 20:58Speaker 1: like more. He's wildly in play on the short list.
- 21:03Speaker 1: And then Weathers, I don't know. I like his stuff
- 21:09Speaker 1: and I'm a fan of his and I was buying
- 21:11Speaker 1: him coming into the season, but I do feel like
- 21:12Speaker 1: he's gotten lucky. He's priced up and I don't really
- 21:18Speaker 1: like targeting this matchup, so I'm out on Weathers. I'm
- 21:21Speaker 1: in on you, Savage. I could see playing some Toronto here,
- 21:25Speaker 1: but there's so many other better spots. I'm not excited
- 21:27Speaker 1: about it really. For me, it's you, Savage or nothing
- 21:30Speaker 1: for me here? How about you?
- 21:31Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely no Blue Jays. Blue Jays are never on
- 21:34Speaker 2: a winning stack. I bet you they haven't been a
- 21:36Speaker 2: winning stack all seas along. Someone hopefully can pull that
- 21:39Speaker 2: up in the chat, but no, Judge, no chance for me,
- 21:42Speaker 2: even with jazz using judges, bet not going there. Our
- 21:47Speaker 2: stuff loves these pitchers, so I'm not playing this game.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Moving on to the next game over here at the Nation,
- 21:55Speaker 2: let me pull it up for you. It's gonna be
- 21:56Speaker 2: the Dodgers taking on the White Sox. White Sox rolling.
- 22:00Speaker 2: They lead the al Central Matt who would have thought that?
- 22:03Speaker 2: We got my boy Miguel Vargas acting like prom Barry
- 22:06Speaker 2: Bonds been attendee, Colston Montgomery, Braden Montgomery did me dirty
- 22:10Speaker 2: the other night and hit a walk off against my braves.
- 22:13Speaker 2: They're a fun ball club to watch. Take it on
- 22:15Speaker 2: this Dodgers team, Sasaki, he was crushing it last Friday night,
- 22:19Speaker 2: Anthony Kay on the hill talked to me through this
- 22:21Speaker 2: one show Hey and the Dodgers go on the road
- 22:24Speaker 2: to take on the shot Socks.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Yeah. So, man, this is one where if we didn't
- 22:30Speaker 1: have the athletics in this stadium tonight against the Rockies
- 22:33Speaker 1: pitching staff, you'd have to think the Dodgers would be
- 22:36Speaker 1: right up there as the top stack on the board.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Anthony k has been better over the past, you know,
- 22:43Speaker 1: six seven starts than he was at the beginning of
- 22:45Speaker 1: the other four or five starts maybe, but still not
- 22:49Speaker 1: an arm that I'm afraid to use the Dodgers against.
- 22:54Speaker 1: I don't know if their lineup has come out since
- 22:55Speaker 1: we started the show, but show Hey in there he
- 23:00Speaker 1: is uh not okay, Yeah, he left early yesterday, so
- 23:03Speaker 1: that's not shocking. Alex leadoff, Yeah, okay, so you got
- 23:09Speaker 1: the guy who's good against left handed pitching now leading off.
- 23:12Speaker 1: Pinch hit risk there for sure, but good spot for
- 23:14Speaker 1: Alex call. Dodgers now just became like their chances of
- 23:21Speaker 1: being the overall top stack lowered a tiny bit lowered
- 23:25Speaker 1: and lowered a little bit, so shoho tani. But they
- 23:27Speaker 1: also became much cheaper and easier to stack, so especially
- 23:30Speaker 1: with a guy like the miz tonight. So I don't know.
- 23:34Speaker 1: I don't know how that trade off will work out.
- 23:36Speaker 1: But they certainly look good here. Their offense is really
- 23:39Speaker 1: really good, good ballpark, it's hot around these parts. I'm
- 23:44Speaker 1: in on the Dodgers here, and I'm in on Sasaki.
- 23:46Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy and this doesn't usually
- 23:49Speaker 1: happen much for me. I was stacking against Sasaki for
- 23:53Speaker 1: much of the early parts of the year. He has
- 23:56Speaker 1: completely found his stuff. He's locating better, like all his
- 24:02Speaker 1: stuff is up and I'm buying it, Like this is
- 24:04Speaker 1: the guy that came into MLB highly touted and we're
- 24:08Speaker 1: finally seeing why the White Sox have been really good.
- 24:12Speaker 1: But I'm still gonna take very good pitching against them,
- 24:16Speaker 1: especially at this type of price point. So I'm in
- 24:18Speaker 1: on Susaki here. I think he besides Mines, he's my
- 24:22Speaker 1: favorite pitcher on the slate. How do you see it?
- 24:25Speaker 2: Sasaki is your second favorite pitcher on the slate? So
- 24:30Speaker 2: what you said? Yeah, behind miss, did you know that
- 24:34Speaker 2: Nick Ldolo's pitching a night?
- 24:37Speaker 1: Yeah? I did, that's why, Yeah, I don't.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Yeah, Susaki, Susaki was killing it last week last Friday night. Yeah,
- 24:46Speaker 2: it takes on this White Sox team. I don't know, man,
- 24:49Speaker 2: that's a that's a tough ass. They've been hitting the
- 24:51Speaker 2: ball so well, Vargas. Like I said, it's been playing
- 24:54Speaker 2: very well. He might even be a former Dodger if
- 24:56Speaker 2: my memory serves me correctly. Not that that means anything,
- 24:58Speaker 2: but uh, no Dodgers for me tonight, Not without show Hay,
- 25:03Speaker 2: not without Alex Call. Like you said, a big time
- 25:05Speaker 2: pinchit risk espinal down there is pretty bad as well.
- 25:10Speaker 2: I'm gonna cross this one off from full stacks on
- 25:14Speaker 2: either side. Might go mini White Sox, but you're talking
- 25:17Speaker 2: five plus teams if I'm getting to the White Sox.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Tough slate to get to the White Sockx tonight.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Yeah, very tough. Next game up on the slate, there's
- 25:24Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of chatter here. We got the
- 25:26Speaker 2: Brewers coming off their Oakland excursion taking on the Phillies.
- 25:32Speaker 2: Should be a good real life series if if the
- 25:37Speaker 2: miss wasn't pitching tonight, the Mis is gonna do really
- 25:40Speaker 2: great things, going to strike out a bunch of Phillies.
- 25:42Speaker 2: But talking about this game, Andrew Painter is a pitcher
- 25:45Speaker 2: that we like picking on. Do you like these Brewers tonight,
- 25:48Speaker 2: even though they're coming out of a home run fest
- 25:52Speaker 2: field Las Vegas? But you got the Phillies taking on
- 25:55Speaker 2: the Miz and the Brewers.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Yeah, so it does feel like one of these starts,
- 26:01Speaker 1: Miss is gonna come back down to earth. But he's
- 26:03Speaker 1: so good. Why would it be to night? Probably isn't.
- 26:07Speaker 1: He's twelve K. You're paying for it. But he's the
- 26:09Speaker 1: best pitch in baseball right now. So he's the top
- 26:12Speaker 1: dog today. If you can get to him and make
- 26:15Speaker 1: it work, do your thing. There's obviously expensive bats in
- 26:18Speaker 1: Vegas we like, but there's cheap ones too to even
- 26:21Speaker 1: it out. As far as the Brewers go, they're expensive.
- 26:27Speaker 1: They're back home like they're crazy expensive. Still I'm good
- 26:31Speaker 1: on the Brewers. I'm not paying that much for the
- 26:33Speaker 1: Brewers now at home against Andrew Paynter. They're not in Colorado,
- 26:37Speaker 1: they're not in Vegas their price like they still are,
- 26:39Speaker 1: So I'm good on them, and that's all I got.
- 26:44Speaker 2: Yeah. The miss had a rough outing last time and
- 26:46Speaker 2: only put up thirty one points, which was his worst
- 26:50Speaker 2: since seven starts or six starts. One of the two.
- 26:53Speaker 2: But man, that guy's done in mind. I'll give Naid's
- 26:56Speaker 2: his credit. Nates, he loves that guy and right, so
- 27:00Speaker 2: he's a really good picture. A lot of k's on
- 27:02Speaker 2: this Phillies team, but also a lot of power on
- 27:05Speaker 2: this Phillies team. Matt, any chance that you would, I'll
- 27:08Speaker 2: call it, get contrarian and go a mini Philly stack
- 27:11Speaker 2: or even a full five man stack on the Phillies.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Are you not going to get that that that aggressive?
- 27:20Speaker 1: I doubt it. I mean, listen, like, even if misz
- 27:23Speaker 1: isn't great, I mean no, it's not for me.
- 27:28Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Hey, we certainly appreciate you just signed up.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Thank you for signing up. Go to the slate station
- 27:33Speaker 2: that'll take you. That's a great place to start. Then
- 27:35Speaker 2: if you have any questions, you can get in the
- 27:37Speaker 2: discord and tag Nids, tag myself or tag my guy.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Bellman all happy to help, as are many of the
- 27:43Speaker 2: other members as well. Before we go to the next game, Hey,
- 27:46Speaker 2: hit that like, hit that subscribe button for us. Got
- 27:49Speaker 2: over two hundred in here live watching us now thirteen
- 27:53Speaker 2: games slate. A lot of money to be made on
- 27:55Speaker 2: this slate as well, a lot of great contests on
- 27:58Speaker 2: DraftKings dot Com and fandor you see the miss number
- 28:02Speaker 2: one ranked pitcher in our stuff over here, and he's
- 28:05Speaker 2: gonna have a great game tonight. I can feel it again.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Moving on to the next game. Astros at the Royals. Hey,
- 28:12Speaker 2: in a normal world, I would think this game gets
- 28:14Speaker 2: a lot of ownership because we love this Royal stadium.
- 28:17Speaker 2: You talk about the heat. You got that sweet KC
- 28:20Speaker 2: heat over there. You got some guy named tatusui Ema
- 28:24Speaker 2: taking on Luender Avila, who nads likes Avilla tonight, But
- 28:29Speaker 2: talk to me about this game. You got the Astros
- 28:31Speaker 2: who do have some weapons in Alvarez walker Pared's canalgo
- 28:35Speaker 2: double dong. And then we love this Royals team with
- 28:37Speaker 2: Carter Jensen, Batten lead off, Bobby Slams. Love watching him
- 28:41Speaker 2: play baseball VNDP. You know he's been playing really good
- 28:45Speaker 2: man as your boy Jack Jack kaglely Noan, however you
- 28:48Speaker 2: say his name. Astros at the Royals.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Yeah, really good hitting, whether hit And then the Royals
- 28:55Speaker 1: another scene where they bossed it against shitty Kumar Rocker.
- 28:58Speaker 1: They do all the time, your boy Kumar Rocker.
- 29:01Speaker 2: I just know, got to support the Vandy boys Harold.
- 29:05Speaker 1: And Kumar's whatever. I mean, it's hard not to like
- 29:10Speaker 1: them again here. Emi has been better lately, but his
- 29:13Speaker 1: stuff just doesn't seem like it's very major league quality.
- 29:18Speaker 1: I think he's a back end of the rotation arm.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Tough spot for him here with really good hitting conditions
- 29:25Speaker 1: in this park. Man, I don't want to be in
- 29:29Speaker 1: on the Royals, but as an alternate off of the Athletics,
- 29:33Speaker 1: they're obviously in play. And then the other side Man Houston. Yeah,
- 29:39Speaker 1: Avila has been surprisingly decent, but I'm not really buying it.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Great spot for Houston here, we like picking on the Royals.
- 29:47Speaker 1: You talked about Jordan the best hitter in baseball this year.
- 29:51Speaker 1: I could definitely see stack in Houston. I mean that
- 29:53Speaker 1: all comes down to do you like them enough to
- 29:56Speaker 1: stack them over to the Athletics, Cause you're probably not
- 29:59Speaker 1: stacking and the big dogs for the Athletics and your
- 30:02Speaker 1: don but maybe you're doing like a you know, six, seven, eight,
- 30:06Speaker 1: nine to one athletic stack with a couple of astros.
- 30:10Speaker 1: I could dig that.
- 30:18Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a friendly wager with you. I normally
- 30:20Speaker 2: bet with Naids, but I'm gonna bet you tonight. I
- 30:24Speaker 2: think the Royals score more runs than the d BECs.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Royals works runs than the d Becks. I don't hate that.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I mean the Ruds are in a really good spot.
- 30:34Speaker 1: I do like Arizona more than you, but yeah, I
- 30:39Speaker 1: mean I think Arizona does score more than than Kansas
- 30:42Speaker 1: City tonight on the road.
- 30:43Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Well, we got a friendly wager. If I win,
- 30:47Speaker 2: you owe me a hundred If I lose, you nothing deal.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Deal. I know I'm gonna win, so so you're.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Not gonna win anything. That's no fun. No, just a friend,
- 31:01Speaker 2: just a friendly wager. We got the Royals, and the
- 31:03Speaker 2: Royals are down in our stack rankings. I'm that scares
- 31:06Speaker 2: me a little bit, but they're barely They're barely creeping
- 31:09Speaker 2: in the top ten. But I love this Royals team,
- 31:11Speaker 2: ND said earlier Jack Cag season, I love me some
- 31:15Speaker 2: Jackkag former Florida Florida legend. Next game up on the slate.
- 31:19Speaker 2: Cardinals been tearing the cover off the baseball taking on
- 31:22Speaker 2: Joe Ryan in the Twin Cities. Kyle leahy Lee, he
- 31:28Speaker 2: he was bad last last last time out. I don't
- 31:31Speaker 2: even think he made it four innings against the Reds.
- 31:34Speaker 2: I might have been two starts. No, it might have
- 31:37Speaker 2: been two starts ago. Then he was bad bad, No,
- 31:42Speaker 2: it was it was the It was the Reds. Last
- 31:44Speaker 2: time he got point eight points is what he got
- 31:46Speaker 2: and he got four innings. Oh you said stinks. I
- 31:48Speaker 2: thought you said six.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Stinks.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Thinks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, see I always remember too. You
- 31:54Speaker 2: talk about these Cardinals pitchers having negative regression. So is Lee.
- 31:58Speaker 2: He's still on that track to go down the next
- 32:00Speaker 2: a regression road. I need you to, I need to
- 32:02Speaker 2: hear those words from you on some of these pitchers.
- 32:04Speaker 2: We got to find the right stacks to win the night.
- 32:06Speaker 2: But should baseballs be flying tonight? Joe Ryan, who is
- 32:10Speaker 2: a pretty good pitcher and he's ten k second highest
- 32:14Speaker 2: priced pitcher on the slate against these Cardinals. Talk to
- 32:17Speaker 2: me through this one, Matt.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one where I think we're back to like, well,
- 32:24Speaker 1: first off, Lee, he definitely still do for negative regression.
- 32:27Speaker 1: But hard to you know, still talk about that when
- 32:30Speaker 1: he's been bad recently because it hasn't quite caught up
- 32:33Speaker 1: to him yet. But I think he's finally showing his
- 32:35Speaker 1: true colors. So Minnesota, I mean, it's hard for me
- 32:40Speaker 1: to sit here and say, like Hones say, with one
- 32:42Speaker 1: of these Vegas games with the Rockies in town and
- 32:46Speaker 1: they're awful pitching staff, that I want to stack the
- 32:49Speaker 1: Twins over them, but.
- 32:51Speaker 2: You gotta pick too, we gotta find right you got, Well,
- 32:54Speaker 2: there's that you got to pick another stack.
- 32:56Speaker 1: So yes, but also like it's an ownership game and
- 32:59Speaker 1: are gonna get love Twins aren't. And I very much
- 33:02Speaker 1: enjoyed picking on Kyle Lee, So the Twins aren't played
- 33:05Speaker 1: for me as that secondary stack. Maybe a full stack
- 33:08Speaker 1: off of the Athletics if for feeling spicy, great spot
- 33:12Speaker 1: for them. They're affordable enough. You know, Buxton's obviously expensive
- 33:16Speaker 1: and he's the guy you want, but they got cheap
- 33:18Speaker 1: guys around him. I definitely in on the Twins, and
- 33:24Speaker 1: I don't know, man, the Cardinals are good enough where
- 33:27Speaker 1: I don't really want to play a popular Joe Ryan
- 33:29Speaker 1: against them, but I'm not sure I want to stack
- 33:34Speaker 1: the Cardinals against him either. And when I say popular
- 33:37Speaker 1: after Miz, I do think the ownership is pretty flat
- 33:40Speaker 1: and maybe he falls out of favor because he's ten
- 33:42Speaker 1: k and you know, you can't really pair him and
- 33:44Speaker 1: Mizz and get a good offense. But I just don't
- 33:47Speaker 1: really like picking on the Cardinals right now. Not that
- 33:50Speaker 1: I won't do it. I used a gram against them
- 33:53Speaker 1: like a week ago whenever that was, But I don't know,
- 33:57Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't love Ryan here at this
- 34:01Speaker 1: price tag in this matchup. I do understand though, like
- 34:04Speaker 1: after miss he projects right up there with all the
- 34:06Speaker 1: other guys, like maybe the best, but he's priced as such.
- 34:09Speaker 1: So I'd rather go to your Savage. I talked about Sasaki.
- 34:12Speaker 1: I like MS more. I'm personally off Ryan. I think,
- 34:16Speaker 1: how about you.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, personally off Ryan at at that price. I
- 34:22Speaker 2: would rather get mis and somebody else, you know, Avila,
- 34:27Speaker 2: if you wanted to go down there. I don't hate Londolo,
- 34:31Speaker 2: but let me ask you this. Uh, Twins versus the
- 34:37Speaker 2: Royals and d Backs ranked those three stacks for me?
- 34:42Speaker 1: The wait the Cards, the Dbacs no, no, no.
- 34:44Speaker 2: No, Twins, d Backs and Royals.
- 34:49Speaker 1: Definitely Dbacs one, easily one, easily wow, easily one. Uh
- 34:57Speaker 1: we'll go Royals, two, Twins three, but no all kinding aside,
- 35:03Speaker 1: I think all three are close. I do like Arizona best,
- 35:08Speaker 1: but all three look good. Obviously not quite as good.
- 35:12Speaker 1: As the top stack on the board, and the Dodgers
- 35:14Speaker 1: look better than them.
- 35:15Speaker 2: Too, so the Dodgers. So you got the Dodgers ahead
- 35:18Speaker 2: of them. Where do you think Ryan comes in? Do
- 35:21Speaker 2: you think he's the second highest down pitcher?
- 35:23Speaker 1: Nah, because he's ten k I was off on that.
- 35:26Speaker 1: I think because it's really hard to miss, is gonna
- 35:28Speaker 1: get a lot of love because he's been so good.
- 35:30Speaker 1: You can't really play them together. I mean you can,
- 35:32Speaker 1: but you can't really play the good athletic guys with them.
- 35:35Speaker 1: So I think he comes in like probably like fifth
- 35:40Speaker 1: highest honed. I do think it's pretty jumbled after miss,
- 35:43Speaker 1: but like I see Sasak, McLean, you Savage all probably
- 35:49Speaker 1: a little bit higher than him gauge jump.
- 35:53Speaker 2: So you like so you like McClay even against the Braves.
- 35:57Speaker 1: I don't really like him, but I think he gets
- 35:58Speaker 1: some love because he's a guy that's pretty popular and
- 36:00Speaker 1: obviously he's.
- 36:01Speaker 2: On Oh wow, Yeah, we haven't gotten to jump yet
- 36:06Speaker 2: to see some jump in the chat. We're gonna get
- 36:07Speaker 2: there in a minute. But we got my guy, Shane
- 36:09Speaker 2: McClanahan taking on this Angels team. Sam Al de Gerary,
- 36:15Speaker 2: I think I forget who he used to play for,
- 36:17Speaker 2: but Rays at the Angels. This game is gonna get
- 36:21Speaker 2: slept on. But do you like either one of these teams?
- 36:24Speaker 2: You got two South Paul's taking the Hill tonight. Austin
- 36:28Speaker 2: Slater going back to California. Notable Lefty Masher. He's dirt cheap.
- 36:34Speaker 2: If he bat second, he hits left, he's very well,
- 36:37Speaker 2: but he's also gonna get it taken out some point
- 36:39Speaker 2: in this game. So no lineup for these two teams,
- 36:42Speaker 2: but any love for the Rays, Angels or either one
- 36:44Speaker 2: of these pitchers.
- 36:46Speaker 1: When I first looked at this slate and I didn't
- 36:48Speaker 1: realize that this game was in Vegas, and I was like, man,
- 36:50Speaker 1: at least they're back in Sacramento, I was, what, the
- 36:53Speaker 1: Rays might be my favorite stack on the board. Al
- 36:55Speaker 1: the Gary stinks. The Angels have a bad Bullpaen raise,
- 37:00Speaker 1: nice park upgrade, and they're good and they're kind of
- 37:05Speaker 1: consistently under owned. We'll see what their lineup looks like.
- 37:10Speaker 1: The guys I like best are obviously Cameron Arrow and Yondi,
- 37:15Speaker 1: but I think you could full stack them, especially like
- 37:17Speaker 1: I'm the late slate. If you're playing that, don't mind it.
- 37:20Speaker 1: They'll have cheap guys to go in there. Obviously you
- 37:23Speaker 1: got pinch hit risk here. But the Rays are a
- 37:25Speaker 1: good stack. I think that they're, for me, one of
- 37:28Speaker 1: the best pivots off of the Athletics. I put them
- 37:30Speaker 1: right in line with the Dodgers. I like them more
- 37:33Speaker 1: than like the Twins, Royals and d Backs, but close.
- 37:40Speaker 1: So yeah, the Rays look good here, at least as
- 37:43Speaker 1: a mini stack. Angels not really. Although what I'll say
- 37:46Speaker 1: about the Angels is you really want to target them
- 37:48Speaker 1: against black handed pitching, not against righty's. We just saw
- 37:52Speaker 1: this matchup, I'm pretty sure, and we did. I think
- 37:55Speaker 1: they got to McClanahan a little bit. They had a
- 37:57Speaker 1: good series in Tampa. If I recall, no, yeah, I'm
- 37:59Speaker 1: looking now, you got to Rasmussen.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Yeah, they did not get to McClanahan. McClanahan only pitched
- 38:05Speaker 2: seventy pitches that game.
- 38:07Speaker 1: See that's yeah, up one run. On a smaller I
- 38:13Speaker 1: could see targeting the Angels here. It's hard to on
- 38:15Speaker 1: a big slate like this, like obviously net O trout,
- 38:18Speaker 1: but they're expensive too, Like, are you really trying to,
- 38:22Speaker 1: you know, allocate your funds on an Angel stack here?
- 38:25Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 38:26Speaker 2: No, No, you are not. I don't, I don't believe. Uh,
- 38:35Speaker 2: where do you rank the race, like in those in
- 38:39Speaker 2: that in that I'll call I'll call it second tier
- 38:42Speaker 2: obviously them right with the Dodgers. Put them right there
- 38:45Speaker 2: with the Dodgers.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit higher than No Show.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Hey, but so so I.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Feel like as a mini stack, I like them the best.
- 38:52Speaker 1: As a full stack, I'll put them below the Dodgers.
- 38:56Speaker 2: So you yeah, So then you got the Twins, d
- 38:59Speaker 2: Backs and who was that other team? Uh, Royals? So
- 39:07Speaker 2: the Royals, Twins and the d Backs behind the behind
- 39:11Speaker 2: the Rays.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Yeah, right behind the Rays. When all those are close,
- 39:17Speaker 1: like it's the athletics. That a huge drop off then
- 39:20Speaker 1: like the Dodgers and the Rays and then a little
- 39:24Speaker 1: bit of a drop off to Arizona Royals Twins astros
- 39:27Speaker 1: like astros right there.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Also, Yes, somebody somebody said.
- 39:32Speaker 1: It, and you know what, like sorry, the Reds also,
- 39:36Speaker 1: like you talked about how you like them, they're right
- 39:38Speaker 1: there as well.
- 39:38Speaker 2: Go ahead, Yeah, someone said the chat. I think, I mean,
- 39:41Speaker 2: we're set up for a and we didn't mention the
- 39:44Speaker 2: Guardians or the Tigers, who could potentially break this sleigh
- 39:46Speaker 2: as well. But there's gonna be some high scoring offenses tonight.
- 39:49Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of good teams, I think,
- 39:52Speaker 2: And you know you got the A's, but if you
- 39:55Speaker 2: pivot off the A's, I think there's a lot of
- 39:57Speaker 2: good places to go. You talked about it being a
- 40:00Speaker 2: ownership games, So can you find that team that's low
- 40:02Speaker 2: own that has the ability to pop off? Hopefully you
- 40:04Speaker 2: can find that tonight. I thought we didn't like the Dodgers.
- 40:07Speaker 2: I don't like the Dodgers Philly, but but sounds like
- 40:10Speaker 2: Matt's on them. Maybe maybe top I'll say top five
- 40:13Speaker 2: for Matt is the Dodgers full five man stack, lowered
- 40:15Speaker 2: a little bit with no show hey, but has a
- 40:18Speaker 2: good match up tonight for sure, and gets uh and
- 40:21Speaker 2: gets a full twenty seven excuse me, gets a full
- 40:25Speaker 2: twenty seven else tonight. The thing about me that I
- 40:28Speaker 2: don't like about these Rays is, you know, you can
- 40:30Speaker 2: just see it over here, not that not that expected
- 40:32Speaker 2: ISO is everything, But they just don't have any power
- 40:35Speaker 2: or limited power versus lefties. There's other things that go
- 40:38Speaker 2: into consideration as well, but the Rays they're small ball team.
- 40:42Speaker 2: They sub left and right. I'll probably got them a
- 40:45Speaker 2: little bit lower than you do. But it seems like
- 40:46Speaker 2: we got a lot of different disagreements when it comes
- 40:48Speaker 2: to uh, some of these, some of these I'll call
- 40:52Speaker 2: them higher stacked. All right, the game that everybody's talking
- 40:54Speaker 2: talking about, we got the Rockies. Rockies are actually leaving
- 40:59Speaker 2: course field and in my opinion, get a better hitting
- 41:02Speaker 2: environment in in Las Vegas where we saw the first
- 41:06Speaker 2: game where the Packers lost to the Raiders fourteen to
- 41:08Speaker 2: thirteen in that wild game. Then everybody was betting the
- 41:11Speaker 2: over playing them, stack them any which way you could.
- 41:14Speaker 2: But Rockies at Las Vegas talked to me through this one.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Talk to me through all the scenarios. Gauge jump you'll
- 41:22Speaker 2: see there on the screen. We love gauge jump. Over here.
- 41:24Speaker 2: He's our second ranked pitcher taking on this taking on
- 41:29Speaker 2: this Rockies team, who's not very good against left He's
- 41:31Speaker 2: on the road. But I'll let you take it from here.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Rocky's at the Athletics.
- 41:37Speaker 1: Yeah, So I guess I'll start with the jump side
- 41:39Speaker 1: because one of the top pitching prospects in baseball struggling
- 41:43Speaker 1: in his first start at home against the Mariners, but
- 41:46Speaker 1: has been good in his past too. I think it's
- 41:49Speaker 1: just a price point play with him and the fact
- 41:52Speaker 1: that the Rockies have been really bad against left handed pitching.
- 41:58Speaker 1: I don't feel great about it though, because you talk
- 42:00Speaker 1: about the Rockies on the road, Well, this ballpark might
- 42:02Speaker 1: be even better than Cores, so it's not really a
- 42:04Speaker 1: true road game for them. You know, jump in this park,
- 42:09Speaker 1: we'll see. I get why he's getting love, and we
- 42:12Speaker 1: like him a lot just because he's seven k and
- 42:15Speaker 1: has much like he's way too cheap for his arm talent,
- 42:20Speaker 1: so that in itself makes me interested in him. But
- 42:25Speaker 1: I do think the Rockies is a stack against him
- 42:27Speaker 1: are also in play. I mean, any offense in this
- 42:29Speaker 1: ballpark is going to be in play. We saw Kyle Harrison,
- 42:32Speaker 1: who's another lefty having a cy youngish type year, got
- 42:37Speaker 1: destroyed in this park, so it could happen to Gay's
- 42:39Speaker 1: jump too. For the other side, I mean, I don't
- 42:44Speaker 1: know how you don't love the athletics here if you
- 42:47Speaker 1: don't play them. I think it's just an ownership thing.
- 42:49Speaker 1: They look better than any stacking Cores. This is one
- 42:52Speaker 1: of the best spots we've seen all year. Zach Agnos
- 42:55Speaker 1: in this bullpen, worn out bullpen had to go in
- 42:59Speaker 1: early yesterday after Feldner gave up some runs after the
- 43:02Speaker 1: Suzuki Grand Slam. I mean outside of Kurtz and Langoliers
- 43:07Speaker 1: and Soderstrom, who's five k I guess Soderstrom, Uh, Kurtz,
- 43:14Speaker 1: Langeliers and gel Off get offs forty eight hundred. Those
- 43:18Speaker 1: guys are expensive. But Lawrence Butler, Jeff McNeil cheat cheat,
- 43:23Speaker 1: We'll see if Jonah hyes in the lineup cheat. They
- 43:27Speaker 1: got guys to fill in that make it work. It's
- 43:30Speaker 1: just really hard to get away from this spot. I
- 43:33Speaker 1: don't even know if their ownership is going to be
- 43:36Speaker 1: crazy because they're expensive. I'm sure like Nick Kurtz is
- 43:39Speaker 1: going to be the highest on bat on the slate,
- 43:41Speaker 1: especially without show Hey leaders. Yeah, I mean Kurtz has
- 43:46Speaker 1: been popular, He's been so good all year, no show
- 43:49Speaker 1: Hey this spot. Yeah, I think Kurtz will be, if
- 43:54Speaker 1: not the highest, one of the highest Langa leaders too.
- 43:57Speaker 1: But after that I think that it falls off maybe
- 44:00Speaker 1: as a full stack So I like them a lot.
- 44:02Speaker 1: What's not to like really?
- 44:05Speaker 2: The but how do you play miz and full stack
- 44:09Speaker 2: the a's at those price tags? I mean, I guess,
- 44:13Speaker 2: I mean obviously it can be done. But man, you're
- 44:19Speaker 2: having to thread the needle on that.
- 44:21Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
- 44:22Speaker 2: Where do you have the Rockies? You have the Rockies
- 44:24Speaker 2: ahead of the Dodgers.
- 44:27Speaker 1: I don't, but I think you could easily make that case,
- 44:29Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean jumps numbers
- 44:33Speaker 1: are good, but like he's not striking a lot of
- 44:35Speaker 1: guys out he's expected. Dra is about a run worse
- 44:38Speaker 1: than his actual This is another spot. I mean you
- 44:43Speaker 1: could easily see like a eleven to ten game, like
- 44:46Speaker 1: maybe you play just gamestack this game. I got no
- 44:49Speaker 1: arguments with that.
- 44:52Speaker 2: Yeah, days jump back to back twenty point performances at
- 44:54Speaker 2: seven K. I still think he's gonna come in with
- 44:56Speaker 2: some ownership as well. In residency, he will get some love. Yeah,
- 45:05Speaker 2: our second our second ranked pitcher as well. Interested to
- 45:08Speaker 2: see what those lineups spit out when they when they
- 45:11Speaker 2: release those lineups. Is that right? A thirteen and a
- 45:13Speaker 2: half run total? Yes, sir, that's I mean, that's higher
- 45:19Speaker 2: than what they are in Colorado. I mean, that's bigger
- 45:22Speaker 2: numbers than in Colorado.
- 45:24Speaker 1: It is. I mean, the weather's extremely hot. It's like
- 45:27Speaker 1: a bandbox out there.
- 45:30Speaker 2: My boy, Sean Sulvin loves your loves your game stack.
- 45:33Speaker 2: He says, you're the king at that. So if we're
- 45:35Speaker 2: game stack in this game, matter we going top half
- 45:38Speaker 2: on both stacks, were going top half A's bottom half Rockies.
- 45:42Speaker 1: That's my boy from the league. That's my boy from
- 45:44Speaker 1: the League of Legend streets where I've really made a
- 45:47Speaker 1: name for myself game stacking. But that's a completely different entity.
- 45:51Speaker 1: But good shout out there. Always always appreciate that love.
- 45:54Speaker 2: I thought he was doing your MLB love.
- 45:57Speaker 1: I suppose he's talking about League of Legends with on
- 46:00Speaker 1: some MLB in there, But I picked up what he
- 46:01Speaker 1: was what he was driving with I could. I did
- 46:05Speaker 1: not hear what you said, though, so repeat that.
- 46:08Speaker 2: If we're a full game stack in this game, are
- 46:10Speaker 2: you just going you know, one through five to one
- 46:12Speaker 2: through three? Are you playing the bottom half of somebody
- 46:14Speaker 2: or what's kind of your strategy? If you were going
- 46:16Speaker 2: to game stack this game.
- 46:18Speaker 1: I doubt you'll be able to do that because you
- 46:21Speaker 1: get your hitch. Well, no, because you'll have at least
- 46:26Speaker 1: one catcher with with with the A's and then you'll
- 46:29Speaker 1: probably have Goodman in the top for the Rockies. No,
- 46:32Speaker 1: I don't think you can do it like that. I
- 46:33Speaker 1: think when you're stacking, you just kind of mix and
- 46:36Speaker 1: match the best possible Catcher's hard if you have him
- 46:38Speaker 1: in there, because you've got Goodman, Lango, Leiders, and Time
- 46:44Speaker 1: and all three of them are really important to their
- 46:46Speaker 1: respective stacks. Goodman is by far the best Rockies hitter,
- 46:50Speaker 1: Langa leaders is amazing and crucial in most a stacks,
- 46:54Speaker 1: and then him has been good and is really cheap.
- 46:57Speaker 1: So that's a decision point right there. Other than that,
- 47:01Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be like most of the A's
- 47:04Speaker 1: guys look better. But it does fit because you got
- 47:07Speaker 1: like Tovar at short I don't even know if the
- 47:09Speaker 1: A's have a short stop like her n eyes sometimes,
- 47:12Speaker 1: but I don't even think he's in the lineup without Wilson.
- 47:16Speaker 1: The A's don't even have a regular shortstop. So it
- 47:18Speaker 1: does fit a little bit with Tovar, and then you know,
- 47:21Speaker 1: probably an outfielder for the Rockies, and then you know,
- 47:24Speaker 1: see what you can fit with the athletics.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Uh, single entry. Are you fading either one of these teams?
- 47:34Speaker 1: Definitely? I mean I don't want to say definitely, but
- 47:36Speaker 1: it's like fading the Rockies isn't like a decision point
- 47:38Speaker 1: for me. I mean, you you can play them, but
- 47:41Speaker 1: they don't look as nearly as good as the athletics here. Yeah,
- 47:47Speaker 1: single injury, I'm not sure what I would do at
- 47:49Speaker 1: this point. I think you can make good lineups playing
- 47:51Speaker 1: them more fading them personally.
- 47:55Speaker 2: All right, next game up on the slate and the
- 47:57Speaker 2: last game up on the slate. You got the cut.
- 48:00Speaker 2: It sounds like Javier Asade is gonna turn it into
- 48:03Speaker 2: Nolan Ryan tonight from the chat taking on a boy
- 48:06Speaker 2: landing roupe and this Giants team. I hate stacking in
- 48:10Speaker 2: this ballpark, but maybe you can change my mind. Cubby
- 48:13Speaker 2: Bears at the Giants talk to me, Matt.
- 48:19Speaker 1: Yeah, who they say is gonna be a good play tonight?
- 48:21Speaker 2: Asade?
- 48:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm out on that. He's just not really a
- 48:25Speaker 1: picture I ever use. He's cheap him. No, not in
- 48:30Speaker 1: this park.
- 48:34Speaker 2: Don't tell that to the Gnats. Was it the Nats
- 48:37Speaker 2: that played there the other night? Got like eight runs?
- 48:40Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean the Nats are really good there, but
- 48:42Speaker 1: still would you take that on this slate? Is eight
- 48:44Speaker 1: runs enough?
- 48:45Speaker 2: No? I wouldn't stack. I don't stack in this ballpark.
- 48:49Speaker 1: So on a big slate like this because you need
- 48:52Speaker 1: home runs and like it can happen. I mean, we
- 48:54Speaker 1: saw the Giant the Giants ron tear right now like
- 48:57Speaker 1: Matt schamand a ton of home runs recently. I don't
- 49:00Speaker 1: hate pieces, but I can't sit here and say I'm
- 49:02Speaker 1: going to full stack this game. On the other side,
- 49:06Speaker 1: I wish Land and Robert a little bit cheaper. Sam
- 49:08Speaker 1: token to the Cubs seemingly got going yesterday. I'm out
- 49:12Speaker 1: on that side, the Rock and the Cubs. I guess
- 49:15Speaker 1: the side is cheap enough where you could play him,
- 49:17Speaker 1: but he's not really a picture I want to play.
- 49:20Speaker 1: And the Giants have been much better offensively than I
- 49:23Speaker 1: think the public or the field recognizes. So I'm out
- 49:26Speaker 1: on basically this entire game.
- 49:28Speaker 2: Tony V's got him rocking and rolling. Man, you leave Tennessee,
- 49:31Speaker 2: you go up there, you get him rocking and roll
- 49:32Speaker 2: and this is how we do it. All right, that's
- 49:35Speaker 2: all thirteen games. Appreciate everybody tuning in. We got a
- 49:37Speaker 2: lot to cover though. Before we get up out of here, Matt,
- 49:40Speaker 2: give me your top, Give me your top two pictures
- 49:44Speaker 2: and then one under the radar picture that you think
- 49:46Speaker 2: is going to be the key to the nice success.
- 49:50Speaker 1: I'll say my top two sasaki and is okay, and
- 49:54Speaker 1: then the one that is gonna get absolutely destroyed is Nicolodolo. Oh,
- 50:00Speaker 1: I mean you asked me my sleeper. My sleeper is
- 50:04Speaker 1: gonna be Man, it's tough, Like I have the pitching
- 50:11Speaker 1: on this slate, it's pretty weak. Uh, Jump isn't a
- 50:15Speaker 1: sleeper because everyone's on him. I'll say, this is ugly,
- 50:22Speaker 1: but the Royals are that bad? Sleeper is my?
- 50:27Speaker 2: Really?
- 50:29Speaker 1: Why not? Pitching slate kind of stinks. It's the Royals.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Like Kubar Rocker was decent yesterday. I'm not gonna play emi.
- 50:37Speaker 1: But when you ask for a sleeper for me, it's
- 50:39Speaker 1: a guy that's not getting any ownership. So like your
- 50:43Speaker 1: Lidolo call works there, but I just don't like him here.
- 50:46Speaker 1: So give me a guy a little bit cheaper.
- 50:48Speaker 2: Lodlo is about to break the slate. But the miss
- 50:51Speaker 2: is the best picture on the slate, bar nine. I'm
- 50:55Speaker 2: gonna say number two. Man, who's the second best picture
- 51:01Speaker 2: on this slate? Oh? Boss, shamee Boss. I like Shane
- 51:05Speaker 2: Boss against the Padres at home. So Boz is number two.
- 51:10Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go Lodolo, because I've talked about Ladolo enough.
- 51:14Speaker 2: I'm gonna go my boys, Sonny Gray, make sure you're
- 51:16Speaker 2: checking that, uh, make sure you're checking that weather up there.
- 51:19Speaker 2: But there's an old saying that I followed Mattens. Anytime
- 51:22Speaker 2: Jock Peterson is leading off for the opposing team, you
- 51:25Speaker 2: take that picture. So get you some sunny Gray tonight.
- 51:27Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that, all right. So the next thing
- 51:29Speaker 2: up on the slate is we're not gonna do stacks.
- 51:32Speaker 2: I want your home run call of the day.
- 51:39Speaker 1: We're gonna go with Katel Marte for the d Backs. Here.
- 51:42Speaker 1: Love him.
- 51:43Speaker 2: You that you're just trolling at this point with Kate Marte.
- 51:49Speaker 1: I love the d Backs tonight. Like if I'm playing
- 51:51Speaker 1: one lineup tonight, he's very liable to be in it.
- 51:53Speaker 1: I love him here.
- 51:54Speaker 2: He's please, don't just save your money. Just don't do it.
- 51:58Speaker 2: Oh God, they're not on the winner, they're not on.
- 52:03Speaker 1: The one double dong tonight. He went double dunk.
- 52:11Speaker 2: I got, I got a home run call, and I'm
- 52:13Speaker 2: so confident in this play. I don't even know what
- 52:15Speaker 2: I'm gonna do. But it's ice season, baby, It's ice season.
- 52:20Speaker 2: Mattie Ice. Matt Olson batting third is going dong tonight.
- 52:25Speaker 2: It's gonna be dong season for my guy, Matt Olson.
- 52:29Speaker 2: All right, last two questions, Matt, I know you're a
- 52:31Speaker 2: big soccer fan. Who's winning the twenty twenty six FIFA
- 52:36Speaker 2: World Cup.
- 52:40Speaker 1: I got no idea.
- 52:42Speaker 2: Come on, man, USA, you got you gotta say, Usa.
- 52:47Speaker 1: I gotta be realistic. We'll go I know some of
- 52:49Speaker 1: the teams that are good. We'll go Portugal. Why not?
- 52:54Speaker 2: Does Ronaldo still play? Is that his name?
- 52:57Speaker 1: Which one?
- 52:59Speaker 2: Christiano something?
- 53:01Speaker 1: Yeah? He does?
