  Speaker 3: has you covered for that. But gee, risen your day before.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: You're kind of going on a little, uh little road trip,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: so safe travels. Tomorrow's you head out, head down south,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I believe, But we got we got I want to say,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: good slate, but.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: We got a gross slate ahead of us.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Here, close your eyes, throw a dart, and wherever it
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: lands on play it because I think you could.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It is kind of how I see this slate.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Chat's already talking about Luis Castillo cover boy on the
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: new team there. Not sure I agree with that, but
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: we'll do our best to kind of break it down
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: here and maybe you We'll call this the whiskey bottle slate. Right,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: they grab the whiskey bottle, take an old pull and hey, no,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: first inning tilting, because if your picture gives up some runs,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: he's probably gonna be alongside everyone else on the slate
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: who gives up runs as highest projected guy is. It's
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: sitting at like fifteen points from a pitcher. Pretty yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: pretty insane. But I'll bring you in man, Happy Wednesday.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: What's going on, brother? Hey, yeah, we got this a
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: little Wednesday. Yeah, tomorrow, I gotta travel a little bit
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: for work.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Dave, You've got early day slate, so I appreciate you
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: and Matt jumping on for me during.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: The day slate tomorrow.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: So we'll be as you guys will be here right
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: before that lock over there at one o'clock. But yeah, dude,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: this late looks pretty nasty. Man, Like, I don't even know.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Like yesterday we had, you know, obviously we had a
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: lot of options. You know, it was pretty we were
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: happy with the slate, and then you look at today
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: six games, especially on DK, and man, it's it's just
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: kind of ugly. I mean it's ugly. But hey, like
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I said, yesterday, you got to play with some front
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: of you. So let's check out what we got. Maybe
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: we'll come up with something good here. But I don't
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: like the Lewis Castillo chalk either looking there. You know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: I don't call him chalk, but I mean just kind
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: of looking here, I probably don't. I think Molly for me,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: would be my favorite against the Mets. I've been picking
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: on the Mets quite a bit here so far this year.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I think, uh, I think it's interesting. It's
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: not a slate. I think he named it right. They
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: whiskey bottle slate, that's for sure. But I'll be over
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: there playing a little bit on fandals. It's a little
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: bit different. We got, uh what framber, We got some
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: cubbies over there, got some gnats over there that you
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: can throw in your lineups. But yeah, so let's uh,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: let's see who we can get in some pitching here. Needs.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's fucking ugly, man, I mean it's pretty
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: damn ugly, maybe, you know. I mean we can just
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: dive into it, you know, like for me, you can
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: start at the top. I think with Miller, you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I think is one that I mean to me, he's
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: got a pretty good skill set as far as what
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I've been looking at. But man, you know, this dude here,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: it's just not been good as far as strikeouts here.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: I mean overall in the season he's been decent, twenty
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: four percent to the left side, twenty seven percent to
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: the left side.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: But I mean you look at his last.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Third days, which I like to do a lot in AIDS,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: especially with some pitchers when we get late in the season,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: start looking at their last thirty days to wear and
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: tear as the season goes on. So I do put
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: a little bit more weight into that as we get
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: into like August into September, the last thirty days, and
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: you look at Bryce Miller, and this guy's strikeout percentage
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: has been way down, man. I mean he's at fifteen
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: percent overall, seventeen percent to lefties, thirteen percent to righties.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: He's been getting bailed up by righties here in recent times.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Five ball percentages are fairly high. So you know, I mean,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: for me, I'm afraid of some Bryce Miller. I don't
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: really want to look at that. He's got to match
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: up with the Yankees. I mean, you just look at
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: the top of the numbers. You see them strike up percentages.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I think people are going to look to that. But
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: to me, I mean, his recent form has not been
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: what you're looking for.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Ranger Suarez. I think you look.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: At him, I mean, coming off the IL, it's kind
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: of hard for me to even look at Ranger Sworez.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's had seventy sixty five and sixty four
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: pitches since coming back, so that's a huge flag for me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna be out on Ranger Suarez. And then
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: you got Jose Soriano. I mean, you look at him.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I mean we all know he's, you know, pretty much
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: a ground ball pitcher. He's gonna end up getting I mean,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: he's not going to miss too many batsh So I.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: You know, I'd leave him in my pool.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: His strikeout percentage to right side has been twenty seven percent,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: it's twenty two percent to the left side. His issue
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: has been he's been walking quite a few lefties at
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: twelve percent, getting bailed up a little bit.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: By some lefties here.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: But you know, then you look at the other side
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: and you're like, fuck, he's facing the Red Sox. I mean,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: the Red Sox put a little number on seases. We
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: know the Red Sox been hitting well. He had no
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Dylan Ceas, that's for damn sure. Who you know, I
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: thought was somewhat matchup proof there, but uh, so Soriano,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I think I'd still leave him in my pool, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: I don't love it. I'm not going to Thornton worn
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: against Seattle, I think, uh, I.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Mean maybe you could, you could go there.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I mean you look at what he's gonna end up
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: seeing with against Seattle here, I think you're gonna get one, two, three, four,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: five six lefties where he's down at a nineteen percent
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: K percentage. Uh, he does get barreled up a little
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: bit more almost nine percent to the left side mid
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: ground ball ling for Will Warren. So I mean just
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: kind of what he's looking at here. K percentages for
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Seattle obviously aren't all aren't the greatest, so I mean
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: it ain't the greatest the matchups, but I think for
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: we're looking at today, i'd probably live leave Will Warn
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: in my pool too.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: As we said, this is the whiskey bottle slate.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: And then to Tyler mahe I think I leave into
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I mean he's got a decent k rate against against lefties,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: so I you know, I think he's he's someone else
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: here that that I'm interested in, especially against the Mets team, who,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: uh who we've been picking on all year.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: So I don't mind Molly.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I think, especially the bottom half of that lineup for
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: the Mets, I think is where he can get some
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: damage down. He's got, like I said, twenty seven percent
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: to the left side. In his last thirty days, he's
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: looked very good, and he's said thirty two percent to
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: the right side. Strikeouts picked up four or five percent
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: to the right side at almost twenty three percent. So
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: don't mind Net. I don't really like his fly ball rate,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: but I'm not really too worried about this Mets offense. So, man,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I guess if I had to pick, I think Molly,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: like I said, be my favorite, then we can get
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: to Lewis Castillo. Man, Lewis Castillo stinks, man, Like, this
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: guy just stinks. I mean, look at his game log.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: He's given up like thirteen runs his last three starts.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: He's just not very good. I mean, he does have,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: you know, a decent k percentage to Righty's, but I just,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: I just I don't know. I can't go there if
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: he's gonna even be chalk. I mean, I really would
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: rather play somebody like Molly or Eric Lauer before I'm
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: playing Castillo here today. So you know, you're looking at
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Cincinnati with some of them lefties. They got here against
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: some I mean, I mean, of course we got Elie
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: de la Cruz blade. I think we could look at here.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's really about it. So I can see
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: why some people like Castele. This guy has just not
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: been good. I mean, he's up in his age of
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: his career. I just I can't do it. I don't
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: even care if he's on the white Sox, change in
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: the uniforms and all that stuff. I just I can't
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: go there lower against Kansas City? Now, why not sixty
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: five hundred?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Shit?
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, I think you can get the
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: job done with some lower. I mean, you don't need
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: too many points out of your pitching. As you said,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: the high end of pitching was fifteen points today, so
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: I think lower being played. He did get beat up
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: pretty bad his last start. He did look good against
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: the Seattle team. But yeah, I mean it's risky, but
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: why not. I mean, if Flowers still gets you eight
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: or nine points, and you know, the top guys only
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: in the mid teens and ain't can kill you.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: So I'd rather have some bats. So man, I.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Think I think laur is interesting, like I said, for me,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: I think I'd go up to uh, I'd go up
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: to Malay, probably leave some Warren in there, and then
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: i'd probably lead some Soriano. But I'm not really comfortable
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: with any of them, to be truthful. I mean, we
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: got to play with what we got, and I think
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I'm just kind of nitpicking.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: It's not like there's any matchup really that you like.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: So I mean, we got to deal with what we
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: got in aids, and that's my story. I'm mistaken, do it?
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I'll start with with Castillo. I'm not playing Castillo.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I'd rather play Male. I'd rather play Tyler or Will Warren.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I'd rather drop down, play Eric Lauer, even George Classon,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Eric Klassen down there first. Personally, for me, I actually
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: like the red bats against Castillo. I'm just not a
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Castillo believer. I haven't really played him much all year,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: even when he was out in Seattle in that ballpark.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I'm definitely not gonna place face him here or play
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: him here in Chicago when everybody wants to just click
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: his name, right. I get the reasoning why he's got
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: a five and a half k prop It is kind
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: of even Juice over and under, which is the best
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: on the slate, right, That's why everybody's going there that
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: he's the projection darling all of that. I just on
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: a slate like this where it just seems that everyone's
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: just gonna click that because how gross it is.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Like this gives me.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: This is a slate more for me to kind of
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: lean into guys that everybody isn't really focusing on, especially
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: when I see downside. Plenty of downside for a guy
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: like Castillo. So I'm out on Castillo. Tyler Miley's my
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: favorite overall pitcher on the slate. I'm with you there
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: at seventy seven hundred, he's gonna be owing as such too.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: But there's enough ownership going to Castillo, there's enough ownership
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: going to the three guys up the top. Miller swores
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: in Soriano even that, don't think it really gets two
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: out of hand for me. I'm out on Bryce Miller.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I'm just I'd rather play the Will Warrenson out of
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: that game. I'm not messing with Bryce Miller. Pitching outside
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: of Seattle here in Yankee Stadium just not a great spot.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: He does typically struggle against lefties as well with with
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: some power and some fly balls. We know that short
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Porch is out there. Yankees have everybody but Lombard and
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Ramos in that lineup gonna swing from the left side.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: So I don't love them. I don't like the matchup
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: really for Bryce Miller. I am on Ranger Swarz. I
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: do think Ranger Swarz is interesting here. I just I'm
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: not afraid of this Toronto Blue Jay lineup right now.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, you look at this lineup and with the
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: injuries that they're having. I mean, you got guys like
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Charles mcadou, Bateman, Baton one to two back half, I mean,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: straw Haysu Sanchez like I just, I mean, I think
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Suarez is a good enough pitcher.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I get the reasoning, but you have to play someone.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: He typically has pretty good strikeout stuff right around twenty
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: six twenty seven k right, typically keeps the ball in
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: the ground, especially to the left side. It's a good
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: place to pitch up there in Toronto. So I'm in
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: on Suarez. He's my favorite of the top three guys
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: in terms of price structure. In Miller, Soriano in Suarez,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I do put Soriana over Miller up top and then
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Will Warren is the other guy that I like in
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: that kind of upper echelon, so I'll rank them Molly Suarez,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Warren Soriano is kind of how I ranked the top four,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: and then the bottom tier the value guys. I do
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: think Eric Lauer is very interesting, and then George Classen
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: interesting as well, just because I think this dude can
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: get some strikeouts. It's still Texas. At the end of
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: the day, I know they have a better lineup. Texas
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: is gonna be one of the most popular offenses on
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: the slate as well. Class in six K. Maybe in
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: a lineup like that, instead of spending up on like
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: a Bryce Miller or something like that, maybe you play
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: some of those spend up Yankees bats, the Brent Rice,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the Jazz Chisms of the world, some of those lefty
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: power bats, and you just get on a different roster
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: construction than with the few is and use the Yankees
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: as pivot off of the Dodgers right where everyone else
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: wants to play the Dodgers' bats right now for probably
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: a good reason, but just looking for a little things
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: on shorter slates like that to get a little different.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: So for me, my pitcher Pool.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Like I said, Molly, Warren Suarez Soriano Lour in classing
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: are kind of the main six that I'm looking at
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: with a heavy focus on kind of the the Molly
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: swore as Eric lower those three.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Kind of being the headlines overall. Any additional pitching takes here. No, man,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: it's ugly, Like you said, get your.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Little whiskey bottle or you know, I'll pull a pre
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: roll out of your pocket and you know I'll get
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: a little.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Light and you know, go for it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: But today is yeah, definitely an ugly pitching slate, you know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: like you remember I say, Nad's like I worry about
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: you know, like you know some guy's gonna nuke it
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: and beat me, like do I got a beat? And
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: today absolutely I don't feel like that at all about anybody.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: So that's kind of I think Eric Loward be a
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: guy that I'd probably be heavily invested in today's on
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: DK if I was playing over there. I'm gonna play
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: on FanDuel, which, like I said, added a little bit
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: more dynamic with you know, the Coveys, Velle Franber being
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: on there, uh and so forth. So yeah, I think, uh,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: interesting slate definitely for sure. That's why they call it
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: daily fantasy. You gotta play with with some infrontia. Uh
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: but uh yeah, I mean, look how many guys and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: good names we passed over yesterday and then we get
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: this bunch of fucking garbage here today to pick through.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean it's uh, it's definitely a different slate.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: But like I said, gotta play with in front of you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, everyone's playing with the same deck of cards.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I'm just looking to, uh to play it a little
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: different than than everyone else.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: In my big stand is going to be the Castillo play.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I just I don't see it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I get the reasoning, I get the props, I get
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: the projections, everything like that. But uh, I've played this
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: game long enough and I'm just gonna go elsewhere. I'm
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: a guy that I'm not a believer in at a
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: current state of his career. Let's jump over here and
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: go to the first game. Here we are in Yankee Stadium.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: We do have Will Warren Bryce Miller. Both of these
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: guys have had kind of up and down seasons. Will
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Warren was really really good in the start, hasn't been
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: as great as of late. But I still do think
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the strikeouts are there, especially over the last month, the
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: strike cuts have been really up there. He does struggle
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: with some righty power, and I just I'm not afraid
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: of this lineup too much. I mean, sure can zone
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: is always solid against alrighty a Rose Arena has some power,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: But the rest of this lineup, I mean, they.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Don't strike out a ton.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: But I just think Will Warren can get the better half.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: This team has a team I saw of one O
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: nine over the last month against right hand and pitching.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I just think Will Warren can go through and have
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: a clean outing. I like him as a direct pivot,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: like I talked about on Castile. On the other side
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: of that game, no really interest for me. In terms
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: of the Seattle side, I do think the Yankees are
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: super interesting on this late because Bryce Miller.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: He's a pretty solid pitcher. I get that.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: It's just I think Yankees are direct pivot right off
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers with upside with seven lefties going up against
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Bryce Miller in good hitting environment here in Yankee Stadium.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be eighty degrees with some wind blown out
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: to center field. We know we have the short porch
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: down the lines for both lefties and righties. Grisham, Rice Spencer, Jones,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Batten way up in the lineup hitting third. Garcia looks good,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Jazz looks good. You've got Austin Wells coming off the
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: two home runs last night. He's still twenty two hundred
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: and free. You got Lombard down there, who's free. Ryan
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: McMahon is free. I love this Yankees team overall here
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: on the slate. This is kind of the stand that
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna take, and on a short slate. I know
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: the Yankees haven't been the best, but I think they're
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: pretty interesting here tonight.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: How do you see this game?
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, Yankees are interesting, especially on DK with
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: the only six games. But yeah, I like we were
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: saying Miller the last thirty days, says now look very good.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: His strikeouts have been down quite a bit as wOBA
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: is pretty high to the left side at three forty seven.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: His ground balls are down a little bit, fly ball
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: percentages are up. So yeah, I mean that's why I
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: didn't want to play him. I just didn't like it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: In the last thirty days, he's been getting smoke quite
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: a bit by Righty's getting barreled up as well. So
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I mean Ben Rice has got a four hundred wOBA
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: against against righty so far this year.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: He'd be interesting.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Lewis Garcia they added here at the trade deadline. I
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: think he's definitely interesting as well. So yeah, I mean
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I put the Yankees probably i'd rank them maybe four
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: out of my favorite stacks here today, three or four.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I probably got him in there. So but yeah, interesting,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: like you said, upside for sure.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I mean all the games we got the one game
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: that's got a seven and a half total, and then
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: all the other games are eight and a half and
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: nine that we have of the two five games. So yeah,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I think the Yankees are interesting. Like you said, they're
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: not gonna They're not garner the ownership, like the Dodgers
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: are gonna get, the White Sox are gonna get tonight,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: the Rangers are gonna get. So I think, yeah, definitely,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: I think the Yankees are kind of like we could
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: even call the Yankee sneaky kind of ads, I think,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: because I don't think they're gonna get the ownership that
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: they probably could they really deserve. Actually, I think the
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Yankees are in a pretty decent spot, and it seems
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: like people are wanting to play Bryce Miller.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: I just rather play the Yankees. I mean, they're still
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: implied right around five runs. You look at the Seattle bullpen,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: it has been one of the better bullpens in baseball,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: which is a little scary. And Bryce Miller isn't typically
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: a guy you want to pick on. But I just
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: think on a short slate. I mean Seattle did use
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: four arms yesterday in that game as well. So I
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: think the Yankees are are super pretty super interesting here
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: in tournaments for sure, because everyone's gonna play the Rangers
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: in the Dodgers, right, So Yankees have a ton of
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: power pretty much one through nine in that lineup and
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: chasing home runs. I think it's a good, pretty solid
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: spot overall.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: To go to.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Next game up in Roger Centerdome up in Toronto. Here
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Jose Soriano, ranger Swarez on the mound. This is a
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: game I don't love for offense. Here, Red Sox.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Surprise, surprise, the allegations right come out that hey maybe
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: they're they're pulling the card out of the Astros deck
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: of cards right and grabbing signs, stealing signs.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: They've lost four in a row. Surprise surprise, they go
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: on the road and now they're up through customs.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe they're pitch pitch hacking devices, right,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: got got seized up? Who knows. But I don't love
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: this game year on either side.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Soriano turboground ball guy, he has had blow up starts
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: where he just absolutely just falls off a cliff and
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: gets nuked.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: And the Red Sox, I mean, have been really good
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: despite even the last four four days.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Over the last month or so, I could see a
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: path where the Red Sox are up there. I just
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Toronto's got a good enough bullpen. I don't like this
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: part compared to some other spots on the slate. I
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: just I don't love either side of this game really.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: For offense here in teams where you're not playing arrangers, Swarez,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: I think a twenty three dollars third basement in Makadou
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: is interesting. Bateman at twenty five hundred just because they're
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: dirt cheap. Alejandra Kirk has been pretty solid. Okamoto, those
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: kind of guys that if you wanted to But I'm
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: more pitching in this one than hitting.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: What do you see here? Yeah, I gotta agree with you.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not chasing after either one of these
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: two dudes. I mean both of them are just known
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: as ground ball pitchers. I don't generally like to chase
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: against that. So game total of seven the lowest one
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: on the board. I think we got five other games
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: we can find us some offense. So yeah, we're definitely
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: gonna go there. And then Tim here says gorilla glue
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: for the win. That's not a band straight. I like
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: that A little bit of runs. Even in Michigan, we
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: got this Peninsula Gardens grower that's pretty much the best
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: grower I feel, and Electric Peanut Butter Cookies is the
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: good one.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Electric Peanut Butter Cookies takes us into Tyler Mally zach
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Thornton here, Braves, I think you could definitely get on
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: the Braves.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I think I put.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: The Yankees ahead of the Braves at similar kind of
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: salaries and much lower ownership. Overall, zach Thornton has not
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: been great. I see the case for the Braves. I
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: say it all the time. You can play the top
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: five anytime they're on the slate. Sean Murphy should be
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: back in there as well, which gives you that platoon
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: advantage from the catcher position. I'm assuming one of those
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: between him and Baldwin a d H I would assume,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: at least projected.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Wise right now. But talk to me here, any interest
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: in this one, Braves and Matt's for you.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm definitely not playing any of the damn Mets,
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: That's for sure. I'm not doing that now. Thornton, you
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: know a lefty. I mean, obviously i'd like to see
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: the Braves, you know, seeing a righty, so we get.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: All that power at Baldwin Olsen.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Albe's and Olsen's just been dann beaest thirty five home
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: thirty five jacks so far this year is pretty good.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: But Thornton's been thirteen.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Point five percent strikeout rate to lefties, he's been, I
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: mean he's been getting buriled up too. I mean, I
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: wouldn't put it past Olsen to to get one on him.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I just don't like the stack. I do like Acunya.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: He's been playing pretty well. I don't if anybody saw
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: the highlight of Acunya throwing that dude out at third
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: base on that ball that was up, that was like,
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: holy shit, Like I really like that man. When I
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: see a dude with an arm like throw some dude
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: out at home or going trying to advance the third Like, man,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: I just that's just like it's just that's awesome. I
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: love to see a guy this rifle someone out, so
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: but yeah, I don't have the Braves like really that high.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: I put him in like the middle of the pack.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: They definitely got some power. I mean why not. I
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: mean they're minus one seventy eight favorite. I think i'd
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: kind of put him in like almost the same bucket
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: as the Yankees Nids, like they got some power. They're
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: not gonna get ownership, And you just don't love the
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: match up. I think they's matchup a little bit better
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: than the Braves, but I still think the Braves had
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: that kind of power to be able to get the
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: job done for you. But I just think it's an
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: outside shot. I don't love the match up with Thornton.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Thornton hasn't really getting beat up too bad, but I
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: don't think he's that good.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Of a picture.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's in the middle of the road. Braves bullpen
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: really really good. The Mets would just be uh stack
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: against the highest stone pitcher on the slave probably or
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: one of them right there next to Castillo, Batty, I mean, Alvarez, Lindor,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: who's been really good something like that. I think you
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: could definitely do that. The Braves, for me, I think
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: the one, three, four, like little mini stack, Olsen, Acunya, Albie's.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: I think that's kind of a little trio there. The
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: three of the top four guys there, I think are
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: super interesting. We like all these against the lefty. Anytime
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: he's he's nice hitting it, hitting from the right side
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: of the plate. Acuna obviously historically Murder's left handed pitch,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: especially if he's healthy.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Matt Olsen is a great lefty lefty.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: It feels like he either hits a home run or
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: kind of strikes out against lefties. But hey, we're playing
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: for for the upside there, and he's gonna be a
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: fraction of the ownership of a guy like Freddie Freeman
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: and Sho Haeo Tani, So I think anytime you get that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: And he does have the league tied for home runs
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: right thirty five last night, So it's more mini stacks
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: kind of just like two and three man little leverage
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: kind of differentiating pieces from this game.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Then full stacking. I just I never really full stack against.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: The Braves just because of how good their bullpen is
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: and Thornton's I think a decent enough real life pitcher
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: that it's not the best spot overall. However, this next
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: game is gonna be one of my favorite games, if
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: not my favorite game on the slate. The White Sox
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: are going to be my top stack on the board
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: against Rett Louder. I like that their ownership is going
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: to kind of be held in check behind teams like
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Texas and the Dodgers. Pretty Much on a six game slate,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: majority of the teams get ownership regardless, so it's definitely
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: not like a focused point outside of maybe the Dodgers
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: on today's site, just because pitching is weak and there's
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of spend down arms so you can afford
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: the full five man stack Dodgers, that's really the only
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: team I think you really have to worry about in
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: terms of ownership. But I love the White Sox here.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I played the White Sox a bunch yesterday. I'm back
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: on the well here. I was a believer that Lodolo
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: was not was not great, and by any means, coming
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: off the I l again. We know how terrible that
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Red's bullpen is it's it's very bad here. I want
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: to see how many arms did the Reds use yesterday? Yeah,
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: so the Reds use five arms yesterday, five bullpen arms yesterday.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Two of those guys are likely unavailable for sure. With
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: approaching forty pitches in the last three days. It's a
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: bad bullpen. I think the White Socks are the best
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: overall stack on the slate. They're They're my top offense,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: and then I'm out on Castile. Like I said, I
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: think this Red's lefty power guys like Ellie Day, La Cruz,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: JJ Blede, Stuart's been really good. Swore as at a
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: bomb last night. I think thirty seven hundred for him.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: You got a super cheap lefty in there. And Hector Rodriguez,
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: I think he's interesting. I like both sides. I definitely
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: prefer the White Sox side, but I think the Reds
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: are super interesting as well, because you're getting a ton
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: of leverage off of Castillo, who historically, at the current
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: state of his career, is not that great of an
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: arm in my opinion. He's kind of just an average
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: guy out there. He'll get some right he's out, but
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: against lefties he's he's miserable, tons of power, tons of
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: fly balls, So you really want the lefties when you're
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: going to the Reds Ellie Blade headline that.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you on the Reds as we
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: were saying, I mean, neither one of us like Castile.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: I mean it's just like you said.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, like anytime, I say it all the time,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: like it doesn't matter offense or pitching wise. If there's
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: a guy I'm just not playing, or a team I
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: don't like the Stack and everybody else likes them. It's
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: like the Royal syndrome, like everybody's got the Royals. I'm
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: not playing the Royals, Like fuck that, and you all
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: can play the Royals. I'm not doing that. Castile, I'm
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: not playing him either. So I think Bladey and Elier
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Hella one offs. I do say that I don't really
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: like the Stack. I think I had more many that one.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: But in kind of power hunt off of him, because
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: I mean Castile has not been good. Is K percentages
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: are way down at last thirty days too so and
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: he's been getting bailed up thirteen percent by the lefties.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: So yeah, let's roll out some lefties. As far as
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: the White Sox go. I mean you look at Rhet Lauder.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, he's been bad against lefties, given up
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of power thirteen percent, barrel percentage, walk percentage
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: has been really high twelve and a half percent, K
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: percentage only at eighteen percent. But man, his last thirty
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: days he's not been very good either. The thing that
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: does stand out to me though, against the right side,
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: he does have a very high ground ball rate sixty
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: two percent in the last month, fifty seven percent overall.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: So just kind of looking at some of these right
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: he's Chase medroth Is is somebody I definitely probably not
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: want to play today with his fifty three and a
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: half percent ground ball rate, Brenton Doyle fifty four percent
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: ground ball rate. But I do like the lefty, So
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I think the only one that really stay aworry from
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: are those two rightis just because at ground ball rate,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: you look as far as flyball percentage, Murakami forty four
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: percent flyball percentage, that's pretty high, Colston Montgomery at thirty
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: eight percent, and even Ben Attendee at thirty thirty three percent.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, we got a guy giving up
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: fly balls, got a guy getting hit hard on the
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: left side, definitely can see why. I mean, the White
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Sox definitely have some power. But as a Tiger fan,
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: I hope the White Sox lose here today to to
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: the Reds, So I'm kind of hoping it falls that way.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: But either way, I think the White Socks are definitely
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: a top stack here today. I got them one A,
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: one B with the Dodgers. But yeah, definitely interesting. But
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: they are going to be pretty popular. Yeah popular, I
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: don't think is.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, they'll get played just because it's six games slate,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: but they're going to be a team of probably or fourth,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I would say, which is.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe not the overall stack.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: I'm more or less.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I guess Murakami is.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, but there's I mean there's still I mean,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: you still got Olsten, you still got Freddie Freeman and
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Otani who can play there.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: You got Jock Jams who hits a home run every night.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: It seems like Jake Berger, right, So, uh, I think.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: First base ownership is gonna be spread out enough just
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: because there's so many other guys to go to that
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: I'm really not worried about it overall.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I did want to call it one thing, So the
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Reds Brock Burke lefty.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: He threw eighteen pitches yesterday, eighteen on Sunday, He's probably
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: gonna be unavailable. So that's one lefty out of that pen.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: I will say Sam Mole is likely to come in.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: He is a lefty out of that bullpen there, So
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: there is some pitch hit risk.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: He's not a good lefty.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: I mean a fourth two seventy r a one four
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: to two whip, he's one and seven. He's just kind
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: of a bulk inning guy that they they bring in
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: right uh in teams like when the facing the White
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Sox with a bunch of lefties there. So there is
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: some pinch hit risk with guys like probably Tristan Peters.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: I would say, is the is the main guy there?
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: I would worry about and don't forget about if Vargas
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: is Is Vargas in there? No, he's not, So yeah,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: one of these guys probably turns into Vargas, either Brent Doyle,
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Tristan Peters, something like that. Maybe a Ben attendee, uh
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Antonasi one of those two guys too, So there is
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: some pinch hit risk. I didn't want to mention that
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: because I probably if the game's even remotely close. I
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: would have to assume Mole is gonna come in behind
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: uh louder here, which which does add some pinch hit
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: risk to to the White Sox. But again, only six
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: games late. Can't can't fade everything. So I love the
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: White Sox overall. Next spot, Dodgers Royals. This is gonna
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: be the This is the best spot on paper. Mason
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Black not a great arm. I'm not gonna go super
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: long anyways. And then you have uh horrendous Kansas City
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Royals bullpen, like it's not even close. The next team
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: even remotely close to them is the A's and they're
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: about three tenths worse in terms of x FIP than
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: than even the the A's bullpen is Dodgers.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: They can't write the ship here. I don't know what
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: the hell they're gonna do.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I know they're not super healthy, right, you got Vett
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: in there. I mean, Rushing and Smith are still on
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: the shelf. It's just you can afford them pitching. There's
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: not many spend up pitching, and the ones that we
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: do have on the slate, I think you can get
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: away with with just going Eric Lauer with the Dodgers
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: in Most people are gonna play up Castillo, but you
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: can go Tyler Malay easily afford the five man Dodger stack.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: It's hard to get away from.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: It is the best offense on the slate overall, especially
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: when you add in the bullpen. Talk to me here,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: any you have to have some interest in the Dodgers,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: any Royals on the other side against Eric Lower who's
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: gonna be one of more popular pitches, is well, I
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: think bobably with Jack Kagli and Allen perez Marte. Kind
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: of that that two three, four five something like that,
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I think is kind of interesting. But don't love picking
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: on the Dodgers bullpen historically. How do you see this one?
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Dodgers are definitely interesting on the
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: fact that Lynch is gonna but he's gonna open, so
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: he's only going to see the top half of that lineup,
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: which Lynch is more of a being a left to himself,
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: more of a groundball lean type pitcher. Uh So, But
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: after that, like you said, we're gonna get Black who
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Mason Black, who is just not very good at all,
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: allows all allows all kinds of power.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: And I was just looking here, I don't think that
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Royal's bullpen. Has any other lefties? Do they names?
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: I don't think they do from what I'm saying, So.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Let me see, all right, yeah, I think so let
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: me see, but go ahead and keep keeping.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: But I'm just thinking here of the Dodgers, like you
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: don't even like and he's weak, and that bullpen sucks.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I think the lefties of the Dodgers.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: That's where I'm sitting there, just thinking, oh man, this
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: is a pretty good spot. Maybe not the uh wild
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Lynches in there, but man, after that, you're gonna get
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: the rest of that Kansas City bullpen, which has just
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: been got awful. Dodger is a big favorite at minus
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: two to ozh five, so I think that's definitely where
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: I want to be. I mean, it's not like the
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Dodgers are throwing you know, some superstar pitcher. I mean
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: it's Eric Lower. I mean I could only imagine with Scoople.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking the Dodgers be minus three, minus three fifty,
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: probably minus three hundreds. So yeah, I think the Dodgers
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: are definitely interesting. I do have them a little bit
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: ahead of the the White Sox. I call him one A,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: one B, and I think I throw the Cubbies in
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: that mix too.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Over on Fandue.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Well, I got the Cubbies ranked up there with exactly
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: what those three, But Dodgers left these standing out that
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: bullpen for Kansas City. We keep talking about nids. It sucks,
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: so definitely a spot we can attack. I always like
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: that late night hammer too. Get to go to bed,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: maybe get to go to bed a little early, po hoop,
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: look at your phone, be like, oh damn, got me
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: some fun coupons in my account. So yeah, Dodgers for me,
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: definitely one of the top stacks. Other side of it Royals,
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: I'm not interested in any of the royals, however. I mean,
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: if you wanted to look at attacking somebody like Eric Lawer,
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: I mean he does get barreled up. I mean he's
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: getting buriled up quite a bit, almost eleven and a
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: half percent of the right side, ten and a half
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: percent to the to the left side. So I mean
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: guys with power, Bobby Witt, I mean, if you wanted
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: to look at somebody like that, I don't mind a
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: guy like Bobby Witt as maybe a one off, maybe
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: like CAGLIONI something something like that. I'll know how long
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: the Laour would last just looking for some power. Perez
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: I'd probably play, but Bobby Witt would stand out as
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: a one off if you wanted to go there.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think Bailey Falter they transitioned him, I
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: think to the bullpen as well, but he'd be the
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: only guy behind Lynch that that does pitch from the
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: left side. So I think those lefties are going to
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: see probably eight innings of right handed pitching outside of
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: the first or seven innings right outside of the the
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: opener Lynch. I don't expect him to go more than
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: an inning or so there there, So I do think
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: to your point right, they are pretty pinch hit risk
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: free overall. You might see if Kiky and yeah, if
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Keiki gets the start, you might see him get You
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: might see him get the hook. He probably I would
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: assume if they start him, he's gonna hit up towards
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: the top. So you can get that one or two
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: at bats off of Lynch. But I don't know what
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: We'll have to see what that lineup looks like. Overall,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: least game of the Slate Rangers and the Angels here
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Rangers gonna be right there. Number two. I think behind
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Jock Jams hits a home run every night.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Like I said, Corey Seeger back in here. The Rangers
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: have starting to start to hit now that they finally
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: got some of their dudes back. Jack Peterson obviously kind
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: of turning the clock back, and he's been really good
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: for them. Langford's always been a stud. Seeger being back
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: in their healthy Nimmel, Carter, Jake Berger. I mean this
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: is a decent kind of top seven. I would say
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Duran's actually been pretty solid as well, Diaz and Lopez
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: at the back half of that lineup. I don't love
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: class in not a not a great arm by any means.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: I would do want to call out one thing though, Gee, Risey,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: we talked about how shitty that Angels bullpen is to
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: start the year. They've actually been the best bullpen in
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: baseball over the last two months in terms of x
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: FIP three point five to one. I mean that's a
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: full tenth and like almost two tenths better than Boston, Houston,
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: the Rays. They have been much better. So that is
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: one thing to call out there. I do think Texas
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: still pretty interesting overall. You got a pitcher here who
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: could just walk a small village. I mean, he's got
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: a twenty seven percent walk rate in fifty two plate
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: appearances this year. Anytime you have that, it's a full
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: stack or kind of bust for me when I'm playing
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: up against that. So I do think Texas is a
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: full stack. Makes a lot of sense. I don't really
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: love picking off one offs here, but talk to me here,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: how do you see this one to rent up the sleep?
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this George classans to go back to selling pickles.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: But I mean, this dude's wat percentage, he said, has
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: just been horrendous. It looks like he's either going to
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: walk here or with that ground ball percentage sixty percent
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: to the right side fifty percent overall. So I mean,
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: this dude's gonna walk here. It seems like you're gonna
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: hit the ball on the ground. But uh, I mean
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: he's just not very good. He's also gets barreled up
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: quite a bit. So yeah, I think the Rangers offense
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: is definitely in play, especially all the lefties. And I
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: know you were talking here, we were talking bullpens. I
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: do know that the Angels do have some lefties in
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: that bullpen. So, uh, Peterson could be a pin shit risk.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Up at the top of that lineup as far as
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: the other side goes with these, uh with the Angels
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: against you know, Cal Quantrill. I mean, the dude just
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: doesn't seem to be getting hit hard really against the righties.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: So you know, I'm just kind of looking at what
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: he's got here. I mean, his righty barrel percentage is
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: that four percent. He's getting buriled up at a twelve
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: percent by lefties. It's just, you know, when I sit
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: here and look at the lefties that these Angels are
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: rolling out, I mean, it's just not all that overwhelming
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: wayde Meckler Chanelle. I mean, it's just not all that good.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously the power is coming from Netto and Trout,
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: and he just doesn't seem to get barreled up so
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: brother the season, however, I will say, in the last
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: thirty days, oh, he hasn't got buriled up hardly at all.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: I was just just double checking that. But his five
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: ball percentage has been a little bit higher as last
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: thirty days. But I just think the Angels just they
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: just don't have enough for me. I mean, I'd like
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: to pick it on control. I just don't think the
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Angels are the lineup to do it. But Texas for
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: me does stand out. I do think Texas is in
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: a really good spot. Tons of power. I like the
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: line up, but yeah, I think Texas Dodgers, White Sox,
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Cubbies for me Coubbies.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I like that, Zach Vien, Welcome to the Bigs.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: My guy hit a bomb, so I love me some
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Rockies absolutely shoving it down Merrill Kelly's throat.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: That was fun to see on the early slate. So
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: hopefully the early slate ends pretty well for me. But
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: I have a ship ton of Rockies, so I like
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: that there. Welcome to the show.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: The big guy there for for Zach Vien takes us
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: to the end of the show. You already gave kind
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: of your your top three offenses. Go ahead and give
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: your top three pitchers. I know it's gonna be gross.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: Grabbed the whiskey bottle, take a poll, take a hit
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: of your pen, something like that, and try and pick
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: out three guys that you feel comfortable playing.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: And then a home run coffee you have one.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going Molly Eric Lower and will warn is
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: where I go. As far as pitching, as I said,
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: my stacks Dodgers, White Sox, Rangers.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: As far as a home run call.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: I am going to go to the I'm gonna go
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: to the Spankys and I'm going Ben Rice.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Ben Rice, I like it for me. I'm gonna go
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Maley Warren and then Ranger Swarez, those kind of three guys.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: I do think I like Lauer as well with you,
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: so that he'd be the fourth. My top over stack
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: is gonna be the White Sox. I like the White
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Sox a ton here. I'm gonna go Yankees number two.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I'll go Dodgers three, just kind of putting them third
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: just because of the ownership. But they do look really really
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: good here, especially when you add in not not a
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: ton of pinch hit rist there and the worst bullpen
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: in baseball, So everything checks out there for my home
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: run call, let's see here, I'm gonna go to the
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: White Sox and I'm gonna go to Colson Montgomery. I
• 40:54
