- 0:01Speaker 1: Yep. Inside, I want to kill myself. We're on Own
- 0:06Speaker 1: seven run over the last two days after tonight it
- 0:08Speaker 1: was just complete bullshit. So that's that's I'm gonna start
- 0:12Speaker 1: off this show horrible Sunday one and five. I don't
- 0:15Speaker 1: even know what to tell you above that. I just
- 0:18Speaker 1: don't want to do this anymore. I have never seen
- 0:21Speaker 1: anything like this. Man with the slump continuing. Two straight losses,
- 0:26Speaker 1: not a good day at all. Own four, I have
- 0:30Speaker 1: not had a good season. Man, with bookends slump that
- 0:35Speaker 1: I'm on, and the slump continues, I've reached a new peak. Actually,
- 0:40Speaker 1: I'm going to burn my Bruins hat. Man, I don't
- 0:43Speaker 1: know what is going on with the Bruins. March eight?
- 0:46Speaker 1: Is that what it is? I don't even know it's
- 0:48Speaker 1: March ninth? I think who even knows? Man, I don't
- 0:52Speaker 1: know what day it is anymore. But I don't even
- 0:53Speaker 1: know what day it is anymore. Man, back with you
- 0:56Speaker 1: after the worst day that I could possibly have, Back
- 1:00Speaker 1: with you as I always am until I die at
- 1:03Speaker 1: least oh and two. Yesterday and yesterday did not go
- 1:07Speaker 1: well for me. Own five the worst month that I've
- 1:11Speaker 1: ever had in my eighteen years doing this. I don't
- 1:13Speaker 1: know what to even tell you about this anymore. The slump,
- 1:17Speaker 1: the slump, discontin news, the slump continues. Somebody fucking kill me, please.
- 1:23Speaker 1: I don't even know what I should do at this
- 1:25Speaker 1: point other than potentially end it all. What's up, everybody?
- 1:34Speaker 1: It's sewed back with you yet again right away? Basically
- 1:37Speaker 1: better off dead. Saturday morning, August thirtieth, If you're looking
- 1:41Speaker 1: for college football, you can check out the College Football Show.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I do those as separate shows for college football and NFL.
- 1:48Speaker 1: The Week one video I did late last night. That
- 1:51Speaker 1: is up on the channel. It's on the audio platforms
- 1:53Speaker 1: as well. You can go check that out. Thank you
- 1:56Speaker 1: guys for hanging out late night, degenerate hours there. If
- 1:59Speaker 1: you want my college football plays, they are Texas plus three.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Although Texas that line has definitely gone now, I still
- 2:05Speaker 1: like them to win the game, so I guess do
- 2:07Speaker 1: with that information what you will. South Dakota going FCS
- 2:11Speaker 1: against FBS plus sixteen. Hopefully your books have a number
- 2:16Speaker 1: on that game, because I like that play. Clemson minus
- 2:18Speaker 1: the three and a half, although I think you have
- 2:20Speaker 1: to lay four now. I know these Week one lines
- 2:22Speaker 1: are moving man, and then tomorrow night Miami Floria a
- 2:25Speaker 1: plus three, which I'll talk about that again tomorrow probably,
- 2:30Speaker 1: But this show is gonna be mostly baseball. I'm gonna
- 2:32Speaker 1: have four baseball plays today, so we have a loaded card. Man.
- 2:36Speaker 1: This is what happens with football. With baseball overlapping, I
- 2:39Speaker 1: could have upwards of, you know, even ten plays in
- 2:43Speaker 1: a given day, depending on what's going on. Today is
- 2:45Speaker 1: gonna be I believe seven maybe Curtis, what's up man?
- 2:49Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging out. Yesterday did not go well. It
- 2:52Speaker 1: was one and two and it really should have been
- 2:53Speaker 1: two and one. Is that Blue Jays Brewers under is
- 2:56Speaker 1: gonna irritate me for a long time again. That game
- 2:59Speaker 1: was zero zero into the sixth inning and it did
- 3:02Speaker 1: not go under as the bullpen's imploded, mostly Toronto's bullpen,
- 3:07Speaker 1: I believe, imploded. Gave up five runs I believe in
- 3:10Speaker 1: the top of the six or yeah, top of the six,
- 3:12Speaker 1: I think, and then it was just downhill from there.
- 3:15Speaker 1: So that wound up not going under and the first
- 3:17Speaker 1: five inning under was an easy winner. So that made
- 3:20Speaker 1: it even more irritating because the starting pitching matchup I
- 3:23Speaker 1: got completely correct. We lost badly on the under in
- 3:27Speaker 1: Miami and Mets. Tong actually pitched well for the Mets.
- 3:32Speaker 1: All but one of the runs he allowed were unearned,
- 3:35Speaker 1: so the bad fielding behind Tong there, He's gonna throw
- 3:39Speaker 1: himself out though. If you watch that guy pitch, he
- 3:41Speaker 1: looks exactly like Tim Linsicomb and he's as small ast him.
- 3:44Speaker 1: It's insane. He has his leg like up in the
- 3:47Speaker 1: air on his followed through and he he's gonna wreck
- 3:50Speaker 1: his back, dude, like linsicum The reason why his career
- 3:53Speaker 1: is so short is because his wind up was way
- 3:55Speaker 1: too volatile. It's gonna happen to him too. That game.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Uri Peraz has just ended our game right away. He
- 4:02Speaker 1: didn't even make it out of the first inning. Just
- 4:04Speaker 1: absolutely shocking. And then we did get the underwright in
- 4:08Speaker 1: the Skeens totally game. Unfortunately, the Red Sox wound up
- 4:12Speaker 1: on the wrong side of it, mostly because the bullpen
- 4:15Speaker 1: didn't hold it after totally did his job and got
- 4:17Speaker 1: them into the sixth inning. In his major league debut,
- 4:20Speaker 1: he pitched well. Red Sox did have a two to
- 4:22Speaker 1: nothing lead early in that game against Paul Skeens. Roman
- 4:25Speaker 1: Anthony actually homered off of him, but Red Sox wound
- 4:30Speaker 1: up losing that game, so I'm not happy about that.
- 4:32Speaker 1: But we'll get into today's card. We do have WNBA,
- 4:37Speaker 1: of course, which I do have one maybe slight lean here,
- 4:40Speaker 1: but I'm not totally interested in these games either. I know,
- 4:43Speaker 1: I apologize to what was his name, Alex that came
- 4:46Speaker 1: in yesterday and wanted more WNBA. I gotta see a
- 4:50Speaker 1: spot that I really like in the WNBA, man, especially
- 4:52Speaker 1: since a sport I don't really pay that much attention to.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I know I've been winning in it. But WNBA, we
- 4:58Speaker 1: have the best team in the league against the worst
- 5:00Speaker 1: team in the league. That's a great game. Minnesota against Connecticut.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Connecticut actually doesn't have the worst record anymore. Chicago does,
- 5:09Speaker 1: at least in the East. Connecticut just beat Dallas. Dallas
- 5:12Speaker 1: actually might have a worse record than Connecticut too, But
- 5:15Speaker 1: Connecticut's re turning over from a road trip, man, you know,
- 5:17Speaker 1: I talk about returning home from road trips kind of
- 5:20Speaker 1: a distraction. You have to get back to family life.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Maybe you won't be totally just distracted when you're facing Minnesota,
- 5:26Speaker 1: who are the best team in the league. Minnesota, they
- 5:29Speaker 1: just lost to Seattle at home, so they might be
- 5:31Speaker 1: feeling a little bit angry. They might want to get
- 5:33Speaker 1: a win bounced back from that. I mean, they're padding
- 5:37Speaker 1: in the West is starting to slip a little bit.
- 5:38Speaker 1: They got to make sure they hang on to that
- 5:40Speaker 1: one seed there. So maybe it would be a spot
- 5:43Speaker 1: where Minnesota would actually potentially show up, but it is
- 5:46Speaker 1: still against such a bad team. You have to lay
- 5:48Speaker 1: so many points in Minnesota. They're down from fourteen to
- 5:51Speaker 1: thirteen and a half. I don't even know which way
- 5:53Speaker 1: I would lean in that game. Man, It's just it's
- 5:55Speaker 1: a mess. Washington at Golden State. Golden State returning home
- 6:01Speaker 1: from a quick road trip where they just only went
- 6:03Speaker 1: to Phoenix in Dallas playing Washington. Golden State has more
- 6:07Speaker 1: motivation here though, because they're above five hundreds, they still
- 6:11Speaker 1: have a shot at the playoffs. Washington basically has played
- 6:13Speaker 1: themselves out of the playoffs with five straight losses, so
- 6:16Speaker 1: they're pretty much done at this point. They have to
- 6:19Speaker 1: go from New York across country to Golden State now too,
- 6:22Speaker 1: so I think it's probably a more motivational spot for
- 6:26Speaker 1: Golden State, but they're down from six to five. They
- 6:29Speaker 1: would probably be my lean, just because I think Washington
- 6:32Speaker 1: is out of it, but I don't love either side
- 6:34Speaker 1: there either. Probably the strongest lean that I have would
- 6:37Speaker 1: be to grab the points with Chicago, And I know
- 6:40Speaker 1: Chicago was my last play that I gave out in
- 6:43Speaker 1: the WNBA and it was a win as a huge underdog.
- 6:46Speaker 1: They might do it here because Seattle they're in a
- 6:47Speaker 1: bad spot. Dude. They're returning home from a five game
- 6:50Speaker 1: road trip, and they finished the road trip. It was
- 6:52Speaker 1: only a one loss road trip. They finished it by
- 6:55Speaker 1: beating Minnesota. Huge win on the road against the team
- 7:00Speaker 1: in the WNBA. Now the returning home, which could be
- 7:04Speaker 1: a distraction spot. Chicago absolutely not really a team that's
- 7:07Speaker 1: absolutely not a team that's gonna draw your focus. And
- 7:10Speaker 1: Seattle does have LA up next. Even though LA is
- 7:13Speaker 1: kind of out of LA is still close behind them,
- 7:16Speaker 1: So Seattle might actually show up more in that LA
- 7:19Speaker 1: game than this Chicago game here. That is possible, So
- 7:23Speaker 1: it's definitely a bad spot for them. The problem I
- 7:25Speaker 1: have with this is that Chicago is also in a
- 7:27Speaker 1: bad spot. They just had a really close game as
- 7:30Speaker 1: a road underdog against Phoenix and now they're gonna have
- 7:33Speaker 1: to do that again. I don't know if I trust them, man,
- 7:35Speaker 1: And actually the game before that against Vegas they did
- 7:37Speaker 1: that too. So they played two close games already against
- 7:40Speaker 1: big against good teams, Like, are they gonna be able
- 7:43Speaker 1: to do that three games in a row? I worry
- 7:46Speaker 1: about that a little bit. So even though I lean
- 7:48Speaker 1: to Chicago, I think I just can't really give it
- 7:50Speaker 1: out as a play man, just because you're asking a
- 7:53Speaker 1: bad Chicago team to put up that kind of effort
- 7:55Speaker 1: three straight games. Seattle down from twelve to eleven. Seattle
- 7:59Speaker 1: does at least need to keep winning to make sure
- 8:01Speaker 1: that they make the playoffs, so they don't need to
- 8:03Speaker 1: win by margin, obviously, So Lean to Chicago probably the
- 8:08Speaker 1: best lean that we have here. And then Phoenix against
- 8:10Speaker 1: New York is probably the only it's the only good
- 8:14Speaker 1: game good by WNBA standards. Phoenix has won five of
- 8:18Speaker 1: the last six games. They just had that close game
- 8:20Speaker 1: against Chicago. Maybe they were looking ahead to this New
- 8:23Speaker 1: York game. It's a much bigger game, obviously, So they
- 8:26Speaker 1: just scraped by Chicago easy, pretty much an easy game
- 8:30Speaker 1: for them, although they probably thought it was going to
- 8:33Speaker 1: be easier. But after a game like that, usually a
- 8:35Speaker 1: team shows up more focus if they almost lose to
- 8:38Speaker 1: a really bad team. The Liberty are starting a road trip.
- 8:42Speaker 1: I think they should be focused to I mean, they're
- 8:44Speaker 1: still locked in a battle here to try to advance
- 8:46Speaker 1: their seeding, So I think both teams should show up here,
- 8:49Speaker 1: even if it is maybe a slightly better spot for Phoenix.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I would have a slight lean to Phoenix up from
- 8:54Speaker 1: one and a half to two. So the money is
- 8:57Speaker 1: coming in on that side. So I do agree with
- 8:58Speaker 1: the money move ons Chicago and Phoenix, but I'm not
- 9:01Speaker 1: gonna give out a play on either of those. Cubert Rick,
- 9:05Speaker 1: whatever your name is, What's up? What's up? Everybody? All right,
- 9:10Speaker 1: let's go to MLB here. The thing that I know
- 9:13Speaker 1: more about. I'm gonna skip Milwaukee Toronto. As you can
- 9:17Speaker 1: see in the title, I gotta play on that game.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Tampa at Washington. Washington lost again yesterday. Washington has lost
- 9:25Speaker 1: five games in a row. No, six games in a row.
- 9:27Speaker 1: My stroke brain puts me off by one again. Yes,
- 9:31Speaker 1: it is ridiculous. You can make money on it though.
- 9:34Speaker 1: It's just you got to pick your spots, and I
- 9:36Speaker 1: haven't seen one that I love for a while now. Washington,
- 9:40Speaker 1: they were in a return home spot. Yesterday, so I
- 9:42Speaker 1: said it was a bad spot, and maybe that's part
- 9:44Speaker 1: of the reason why they lost that game is because
- 9:46Speaker 1: they were returning home from a road trip. They're not
- 9:49Speaker 1: the better team. I mean, Washington is a terrible team.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is at least decent, and they're in a
- 9:53Speaker 1: really difficult division. Washington has one of the worst bullpens
- 9:58Speaker 1: in baseball. They use four relievers yesterday, not huge usage
- 10:03Speaker 1: from a couple of them, though Tampa actually used four
- 10:05Speaker 1: and use them more. But I still probably give the
- 10:09Speaker 1: bullpen edge to Tampa even though their bullpen rest is less,
- 10:12Speaker 1: because their bullpen is just that much better than Washington's.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Tampa has the better offense as well, and Washington just sucks, dude.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Tampa has the better starting pitcher as well, with Ryan Pepio,
- 10:22Speaker 1: who's got a three point eight two ERA one point
- 10:25Speaker 1: one six whip. He is worse on the road, though
- 10:28Speaker 1: four point five ERA on the road. Weird that he
- 10:31Speaker 1: actually pitches really well in Steinbrenner Field at home, which
- 10:34Speaker 1: is a hitter friendly ballpark. Pepio has been pretty good
- 10:38Speaker 1: this month three point nine seven ERA twenty one to
- 10:40Speaker 1: seven strike out walk ratio. He's coming off a five inning,
- 10:43Speaker 1: one hit shutout against Saint Louis, although they took him
- 10:47Speaker 1: out after sixty three pitches, so he made be on
- 10:49Speaker 1: a little bit of a pitch count right now, as
- 10:51Speaker 1: we come towards the end of the season and there's
- 10:54Speaker 1: nothing really for Tampa to play for here, these teams
- 10:56Speaker 1: don't really have anything to play for Washington, they have
- 10:59Speaker 1: almost no experience against Pepio. Believe it or not, only
- 11:03Speaker 1: Bell has ever seen him before, and he's three for
- 11:05Speaker 1: thirteen off him, does have a triple against him in
- 11:09Speaker 1: one strike up with Pepio pretty much an unknown to Washington,
- 11:13Speaker 1: so that should be an advantage to Pepio because when
- 11:15Speaker 1: hitters haven't seen a guy before, they have to take
- 11:19Speaker 1: some time to adjust to what he's gonna throw at them.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Jake Irvin is pitching for Washington. He's not very good.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Five point four ERA, one point four to three whip.
- 11:27Speaker 1: He's been a little bit better at home though, five
- 11:29Speaker 1: point eight RA at home. He's not been good at
- 11:33Speaker 1: all this month. Though this month has been a disaster.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Washington's lost four of his five starts, even if he's
- 11:38Speaker 1: in his uh. Even in the game that they won,
- 11:40Speaker 1: he gave up six runs against Kansas City and walk
- 11:44Speaker 1: four guys. Awful nine point five to five VRA this
- 11:47Speaker 1: month thirteen eleven strike a walk ratio. Yes, he faced
- 11:50Speaker 1: some good offenses in here Milwaukee Mets Philly, but Irvin
- 11:54Speaker 1: is just completely out of for him right now. He's
- 11:56Speaker 1: awful right now. The one thing that maybe in his
- 12:00Speaker 1: favor is that Tampa only has four hitters who've ever
- 12:02Speaker 1: seen him before. Tampa, by the way, has two of
- 12:04Speaker 1: the Lows, Brandon and Josh, and they do not have
- 12:07Speaker 1: a than you'll who's on the ritzize oh Man Irvin.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Tampa's only one for ten off in lifetime with Brandon
- 12:16Speaker 1: Low does have a home run off him, but other
- 12:18Speaker 1: than that, he's pretty much kept them in check. Two walks,
- 12:21Speaker 1: one strikeout though, But that's such a small sample size.
- 12:24Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna put more weight into the fact
- 12:26Speaker 1: that Irvin has been pitching terribly recently. So, I even
- 12:30Speaker 1: though it should be a spot where when a team
- 12:32Speaker 1: comes back from a road trip and they don't do well,
- 12:34Speaker 1: they tend to refocus and do better in the next game,
- 12:37Speaker 1: but I don't think that's gonna be the case here.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Both of these teams are out of it. I lean
- 12:41Speaker 1: to Tampa in this game. They're up for minus one
- 12:43Speaker 1: forty five to minus one fifty seventy eight percent to
- 12:46Speaker 1: take us ninety three percent of the cash on them.
- 12:48Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, I think they have the
- 12:50Speaker 1: advantage in every aspect of this game. But you ever
- 12:54Speaker 1: having to lay a road favorite price on a mediocre team,
- 12:58Speaker 1: So if you want to do that, I mean, they
- 13:01Speaker 1: should win the game, but of course there is the
- 13:03Speaker 1: possibility they don't. The money's also coming in in the
- 13:06Speaker 1: under in that game, which I mean, I guess the
- 13:08Speaker 1: argument for that would be Irvin has good matchup numbers
- 13:12Speaker 1: against Tampa and they're not very familiar with them. Ninety
- 13:14Speaker 1: four percent of tickets on the over, sixty percent of
- 13:16Speaker 1: the couch in the under total has already gone through
- 13:19Speaker 1: the key number of nine down to eight and a half,
- 13:21Speaker 1: so some legitimate movement on the under. But I don't
- 13:24Speaker 1: trust an under with Irvin. I certainly don't trust an
- 13:26Speaker 1: under with the Washington Bullpen either. If I was gonna
- 13:29Speaker 1: do it at all, it would be first five innings,
- 13:31Speaker 1: but I don't like that idea either. Miami at the Mets,
- 13:35Speaker 1: this game, of course, was a disaster. Yesterday for US
- 13:38Speaker 1: nineteen to nine was the final with the Mets winning.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Just thanks a lot, Uri Perez, you owe me money,
- 13:46Speaker 1: Bro Scott, what's up man? Thanks for hanging out? Yeah,
- 13:50Speaker 1: WNBA funny to watch, that's true. Not since the dildos
- 13:56Speaker 1: has stopped being thrown, though I don't know why the
- 13:58Speaker 1: dildos have stopped. They got to just sneak them in
- 14:01Speaker 1: in their butttholes. Man. That's as the obvious way. The
- 14:04Speaker 1: Mets use three relief pitchers yesterday. They do have the
- 14:07Speaker 1: better bullpen over Miami. Miami also used three, but they
- 14:09Speaker 1: used kind of longer relief guys because the game was over.
- 14:13Speaker 1: So like both teams have a lot of their better
- 14:14Speaker 1: relievers available today. I do kind of prefer Miami's starting
- 14:19Speaker 1: pitcher in this one. The Mets have the better offense obviously,
- 14:23Speaker 1: but Edward Cabrera is pitching for the Marlins. He's been
- 14:26Speaker 1: pretty good this year three point three two ERA one
- 14:29Speaker 1: point one to eight whip worse on the road three
- 14:32Speaker 1: point nine three R in the road, but he's been
- 14:34Speaker 1: really good this month forty to eight strikeout walker ratio,
- 14:38Speaker 1: three point two to three ERA. He had a couple
- 14:40Speaker 1: of games where he stumbled a bit, but he bounced
- 14:43Speaker 1: back with a one hit, seven inning shutout with ten
- 14:46Speaker 1: strikeouts against Atlanta, So really good start in his last outing.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Because numbers against the Mets are not horrible and well
- 14:53Speaker 1: they're okay, I guess some of these numbers are actually
- 14:56Speaker 1: not great. In seventy four at bats, he saw them
- 14:58Speaker 1: to a two thirty average, which is really good. Seven
- 15:01Speaker 1: ninety three ohps is a little high, though, and it's
- 15:03Speaker 1: a lot because he's allowed nineteen walks to them compared
- 15:06Speaker 1: to fourteen strikeouts, so his strikeout walk ratio is a
- 15:09Speaker 1: little bit of a red flag there. He's allowed four
- 15:12Speaker 1: home runs to them, but three of them are Alonso
- 15:15Speaker 1: and Alonzo. Those are his only three hits. He's three
- 15:18Speaker 1: for fourteen in off him, so I'm not as worried
- 15:20Speaker 1: about that, but the walk number is a bit concerning.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Although Cabrera is in pretty good for him right now.
- 15:26Speaker 1: David Peterson is pitching for the Mets. He's having a
- 15:29Speaker 1: good season. A guy I keep saying, I don't think
- 15:32Speaker 1: he can keep doing this because he still puts too
- 15:34Speaker 1: many guys on base three point one eight ERA one
- 15:37Speaker 1: point two to five whips. His whip indicates his ERA
- 15:40Speaker 1: should probably be higher. He does have a two point
- 15:42Speaker 1: nine to three ERA at home. He's been good at home,
- 15:45Speaker 1: hasn't been as good this month though, a four point
- 15:47Speaker 1: six six ERA this month. The Mets have lost four
- 15:50Speaker 1: out of five this starts this month. Does have a
- 15:53Speaker 1: really high strikeout rate, which is kind of unlike Peterson.
- 15:56Speaker 1: He's not really a strikeout guy, but he's got thirty
- 15:59Speaker 1: four strikeouts this month. But he also has fourteen walks,
- 16:01Speaker 1: which is a lot. He's walking too many guys. He's
- 16:05Speaker 1: walked ten guys over his last three starts, although both
- 16:08Speaker 1: high walk outings are against Atlanta, which is strange. I
- 16:12Speaker 1: guess I don't know. Atlanta just draws a lot of
- 16:14Speaker 1: walks against him for whatever reason. His numbers are not
- 16:17Speaker 1: terrific against Miami. In thirty two at bats, twelve four
- 16:21Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio is fine, but he's allowed three
- 16:23Speaker 1: home runs to three different batters. Two fifty average is
- 16:26Speaker 1: pretty low, but a nine to fifty eight ops is high.
- 16:30Speaker 1: So Peterson, I mean, kind of similar to Cabrara in
- 16:33Speaker 1: a way. Their numbers are a little bit questionable there.
- 16:36Speaker 1: The Mets have more motivation here because they're trying to
- 16:39Speaker 1: make the playoffs, but Miami is trying to play spoiler here.
- 16:44Speaker 1: I mean Miami, they'll they'll show up for a game
- 16:46Speaker 1: against the Mets, especially after they lost embarrassingly nineteen to
- 16:50Speaker 1: nine yesterday. The money is coming in on Miami. It's
- 16:53Speaker 1: down for minus one eighty five to minus one sixty
- 16:55Speaker 1: one on the Mets eighty seven percent of tickets, only
- 16:58Speaker 1: sixty four percent of the cash on them, So that
- 17:02Speaker 1: is the market read. I don't disagree with it. I
- 17:04Speaker 1: actually I like Cabrera more than Peterson, so I would
- 17:07Speaker 1: lean to Miami, but I would do it in the
- 17:08Speaker 1: first five innings because I don't trust their bullpen. So
- 17:12Speaker 1: probably Miami money line first five innings at a solid
- 17:16Speaker 1: underdog price, or maybe even the run line probably makes sense.
- 17:19Speaker 1: The money in this game is also on the under
- 17:21Speaker 1: seventy four percent of tickets in the over, sixty four
- 17:23Speaker 1: percent of the cash in the under. That I probably
- 17:26Speaker 1: do know how to agree with, even though I know
- 17:28Speaker 1: last yesterday was just incredibly high scoring, so the public
- 17:32Speaker 1: is only going to want to play this over. But
- 17:35Speaker 1: I don't think I would trust the under man. Just
- 17:37Speaker 1: Cabrera's walk numbers. I mean these guys. Their matchup numbers
- 17:41Speaker 1: don't look that elite to me. So like I worry
- 17:44Speaker 1: about the under in that game, man, but I think
- 17:46Speaker 1: Miami is a stronger lean in that game. In the
- 17:49Speaker 1: first five innings, it's up Andrew. Yeah, Atlantis, dude, I
- 17:53Speaker 1: like Atlantis, man. I saw her live in twenty twenty
- 17:57Speaker 1: one on the Jagged Little Pill tour. She did every
- 18:00Speaker 1: song off of that album, though not in sequence. It
- 18:04Speaker 1: was a really really good show. She was really good
- 18:07Speaker 1: and it was it was with Garbage and cat Power.
- 18:10Speaker 1: It was a blast from the past. Man. Garbage actually
- 18:13Speaker 1: still sounded pretty good too, even though Shirley Manson is
- 18:16Speaker 1: a heavy woman now not hot like she used to be,
- 18:20Speaker 1: although still would probably. And cat Power is actually really
- 18:23Speaker 1: good too. She puts on a good live show. Charles,
- 18:27Speaker 1: what's up man? But yeah, alanis dude. She still has
- 18:32Speaker 1: a ton of energy. She's a tiny chick and if
- 18:35Speaker 1: you haven't seen her live, she I think she has
- 18:38Speaker 1: like some autistic thing where she constantly is walking back
- 18:41Speaker 1: and forth across the stage like that's how she does it.
- 18:44Speaker 1: So it's actually hard to get like pictures of her
- 18:46Speaker 1: because she's always moving. It's how she got she keeps
- 18:49Speaker 1: in shape, man. And she does play guitar a little
- 18:53Speaker 1: bit as well. And I think she played piano at
- 18:55Speaker 1: one point at during the show too. Atlanta, Philadelphia. I'm
- 18:58Speaker 1: gonna have a play on this game too. This is
- 19:00Speaker 1: a nice pitching matchup in that game today, so I'll
- 19:03Speaker 1: skip that. Oh whoops, I jumped over my own Boston
- 19:06Speaker 1: Red Sox. Yeah, we'll talk about this one. She is Canadian. Yeah, well,
- 19:11Speaker 1: she wrote an entire song about like breaking up with
- 19:13Speaker 1: Dave Coolier, so you know, and for anybody to be
- 19:17Speaker 1: dating Dave Coolier, you probably have to be a bit autistic.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Although I like Dave COOLi a man. I mean, he's
- 19:23Speaker 1: a dude. He's he's a funny dude. What do you want? Uh?
- 19:27Speaker 1: Just the kind of the old school prop comic vibe there,
- 19:33Speaker 1: he's he's Joey Pirates Red Sox. Red Sox unfortunately took
- 19:39Speaker 1: the loss yesterday. We did get the underwright in that game.
- 19:42Speaker 1: The Red Sox have the better offense here, they have
- 19:44Speaker 1: the better bullpen, they have something to play for us.
- 19:47Speaker 1: They're trying to make the playoffs, potentially vibe for the
- 19:49Speaker 1: division here. The Red Sox use five relief pitchers yesterday though,
- 19:53Speaker 1: so that's not great. So their bullpen situation is not
- 19:57Speaker 1: exactly excellent right now. Though Chat hasn't pitched the last
- 20:01Speaker 1: couple of days, so he's available. But Red Sox is
- 20:04Speaker 1: gonna have to get something out of their starting pitching today,
- 20:06Speaker 1: and I don't know if they necessarily will. Pittsburgh used
- 20:10Speaker 1: three relief pitchers yesterday, but the Red Sox still have
- 20:13Speaker 1: the better bullpen, even though the rest scenario isn't really
- 20:16Speaker 1: completely in their favor. The starting pitching matchup, it's hard
- 20:20Speaker 1: to even gauge this man, Johann Oviaedo is pitching for
- 20:23Speaker 1: the Pirates. He's pretty much a I mean, he's a
- 20:27Speaker 1: really he's pretty much an unknown man. He's a huge dude,
- 20:31Speaker 1: by the way, six six, two seventy five, kind of
- 20:34Speaker 1: like Peyton, totally on the mound yesterday. Oviedo's massive. He's
- 20:39Speaker 1: got a three point six ERA one point two whip,
- 20:43Speaker 1: so his numbers are actually good. He's better on the
- 20:45Speaker 1: road two point twenty five ERA. This is all in
- 20:47Speaker 1: a very small sample size though he's only made three appearances,
- 20:51Speaker 1: he's only gone five innings once, Although his numbers are
- 20:54Speaker 1: pretty good fourteen to five strike a walk ratio and
- 20:57Speaker 1: his two longer outings. He gave up torn runs across
- 21:00Speaker 1: nine innings, only five hits, and had an eleven to
- 21:02Speaker 1: two strike up walk ratio against Toronto, which is pretty impressive.
- 21:06Speaker 1: And then Saint Louis, who hasn't been hitting that well.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Oviedo is actually pitching well. He's been in the league
- 21:13Speaker 1: since twenty twenty, though, and his overall numbers are not
- 21:16Speaker 1: very good on his career, so I don't know if
- 21:18Speaker 1: this is just kind of a little bit of a
- 21:20Speaker 1: flash in the pan here. The Red Sox to have
- 21:23Speaker 1: four hitters who have faced him before two seventy three
- 21:26Speaker 1: average nine oh nine ops off him. Uh Masa Yoshida
- 21:30Speaker 1: is a home run off him, so I don't know
- 21:32Speaker 1: when that would have been, but uh, Red Sox have
- 21:36Speaker 1: a little bit of familiarity with them. Still Oviedo, I
- 21:39Speaker 1: mean it's he's in good form right now, so it's
- 21:41Speaker 1: possible he pitches well. Here. Dustin May is pitching for
- 21:44Speaker 1: the Red Sox, the Dodger acquisition for the Red Sox
- 21:49Speaker 1: that they've actually kept for now because the Red Sox
- 21:51Speaker 1: cut Bueller. Dustin May not having a great season. Four
- 21:56Speaker 1: point seven to ninety r a one point three to
- 21:58Speaker 1: eight whip. He's been better at home home three point
- 22:00Speaker 1: two four ERA at home, but that was mostly with
- 22:03Speaker 1: the Dodgers. His last home outing with the Red Sox
- 22:06Speaker 1: was good, though against Baltimore. He went six innings held
- 22:08Speaker 1: them to two earned runs. Baltimore is a week offense,
- 22:11Speaker 1: but so is Pittsburgh. Last outing for May was rough.
- 22:14Speaker 1: You give up five and runs, three home runs, three walks. Yeah,
- 22:18Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium in four and a third, but that
- 22:21Speaker 1: is the Yankees. I mean, this is a big time
- 22:23Speaker 1: step down to face Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh very atrocious offense. They
- 22:28Speaker 1: only have twelve at bats against May, so they haven't
- 22:30Speaker 1: really seen him much. Only four of their hitters have
- 22:32Speaker 1: seen him. They're two for twelve with no extra base hits,
- 22:35Speaker 1: three strikeouts, two walks. That's a one sixty seven average
- 22:39Speaker 1: of four point fifty two ohps. So May does have
- 22:41Speaker 1: good numbers against them. I mean to me, it kind
- 22:46Speaker 1: of seems like another under type of game here to me, man.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Even though the total is high at nine eighty one
- 22:51Speaker 1: percent or eighty two percent of the tickets now in
- 22:53Speaker 1: the over only seventy three percent of the cash on
- 22:56Speaker 1: the over. Maybe you take the Bullpens out of the equation.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's isn't that great. Red Sox is a little bit
- 23:02Speaker 1: used up. I could see an under first five in
- 23:04Speaker 1: this game as well. And you don't know how long
- 23:06Speaker 1: Oviedo is gonna last in this game. May is at
- 23:09Speaker 1: least the more uh, the more established starter he's. You
- 23:15Speaker 1: know that he can get deeper into games than Oviedo
- 23:18Speaker 1: ken Right now, May I mean the Red Sox down
- 23:21Speaker 1: for minus one seventy five to minus one sixty three
- 23:24Speaker 1: eighty four percent to take his ninety three percent of
- 23:26Speaker 1: the cash on them. So the Red Sox obviously will
- 23:28Speaker 1: be a public side. The money line's a little bit high,
- 23:31Speaker 1: although it seems kind of low. Man, I actually expected
- 23:34Speaker 1: the Red Sox to be maybe like minus one ninety
- 23:37Speaker 1: in this game. It's May getting a lot of disrespect
- 23:39Speaker 1: or maybe Oviedo actually getting some respect. I don't know.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Hopefully the Red Sox do win because they're a home
- 23:46Speaker 1: favorite and they got to bounce back from yesterday and
- 23:48Speaker 1: they're still in the playoff mix here and they're behind
- 23:50Speaker 1: the Yankees again. But we'll see. Like I said, Atlanta,
- 23:54Speaker 1: Philly will be a play for me, so I'll skip
- 23:56Speaker 1: that for now. U Saint Louis Cincinnati. I also have
- 23:59Speaker 1: a play in that one. Anaheim at Houston. Houston got
- 24:03Speaker 1: the win yesterday. They've won three games in a row.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Shut out of Anaheim yesterday two to nothing. Houston, their
- 24:11Speaker 1: offense still kind of struggling. Probably Anaheim. You actually have
- 24:15Speaker 1: to give Anaheim a little bit of an offensive edge
- 24:18Speaker 1: over Houston the way Houston has been playing offensively, although
- 24:21Speaker 1: Houston has a way better bullpen. I'm actually wondering. Yeah,
- 24:25Speaker 1: Houston's at thirteenth in ops now and Anaheim is down
- 24:28Speaker 1: to twentieth, So I guess technically Houston's offense is still
- 24:32Speaker 1: the better offense, but it doesn't seem that way. They
- 24:35Speaker 1: are still the better overall team though. Anaheim actually has
- 24:38Speaker 1: a pretty rested bullpen right now, though Houston did only
- 24:42Speaker 1: use three relievers yesterday too. Although Houston has so many
- 24:44Speaker 1: bullpend injuries that I don't even know exactly who rounds
- 24:47Speaker 1: out their bullpen. We're about to get to September call ups,
- 24:50Speaker 1: so we're gonna have expanded bullpen soon. Started pitching in
- 24:55Speaker 1: this game. Well. First of all, Houston obviously has a
- 24:58Speaker 1: little bit more to play for here because they're still
- 25:00Speaker 1: trying to win their division. They're probably gonna make the playoffs. Anaheim,
- 25:04Speaker 1: they'll still show up motivated though, because of course it's
- 25:06Speaker 1: a divisional matchup. Don't want to spoil the party for Houston.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Anaheim again, as I keep pointing out, is nowhere near
- 25:12Speaker 1: as good as even the record looks, and the record
- 25:15Speaker 1: is still not good. Anaheim is really not a good team.
- 25:18Speaker 1: They've been over performing. Sorry Andrew Kyle hendrix s'spicch me
- 25:23Speaker 1: for Anaheim. He is not the best pitcher, kind of
- 25:27Speaker 1: an aging journeyman here. Five point four ERA, one point
- 25:31Speaker 1: three to two whip. He's been worse on the road
- 25:33Speaker 1: five point four to three ERA on the road. Not
- 25:36Speaker 1: good stuff this month from him six point four to
- 25:38Speaker 1: six ERA, seventeen to eleven strike out walk ratio, giving
- 25:42Speaker 1: up four and runs or more in his last three outings,
- 25:45Speaker 1: three walks a piece in each of them. Granted it
- 25:47Speaker 1: was against the Dodger, Cincinnati, and the Cubs. All of
- 25:50Speaker 1: those were at home where he actually tends to bitch
- 25:53Speaker 1: a little bit better. So even though those are offenses
- 25:56Speaker 1: that can definitely do damage, that's still not a good sign.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Against Houston, his numbers are bad and sixty at bats
- 26:02Speaker 1: three seventeen average, nine to twenty nine ops allowed, eight
- 26:06Speaker 1: to six strike a walk ratio not good either, so
- 26:09Speaker 1: his numbers against Houston historically not good. Houston, their starter
- 26:13Speaker 1: here is a big time question mark man Spencer rag Getty,
- 26:17Speaker 1: who has shown glimpses of being a good pitcher. He's
- 26:19Speaker 1: still young, but he is not having a good season here.
- 26:23Speaker 1: He hasn't pitched that much this season because he came
- 26:25Speaker 1: back from injury six point two to one toy array
- 26:28Speaker 1: though one point five to whip very very bad. Whip.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Can't put one and a half guys on basin ning man,
- 26:34Speaker 1: I can't do it. He's been good at home though,
- 26:36Speaker 1: two point four to five RRA at homes, so his
- 26:38Speaker 1: home road splits are in his favor. Houston has not
- 26:42Speaker 1: won any of his starts as he came back from injury,
- 26:45Speaker 1: all four losses this month, six point five two e
- 26:49Speaker 1: array this month and fifteen to ten strike a walk ratio.
- 26:52Speaker 1: That's all bad. Although his best outing of the month
- 26:55Speaker 1: was basically his most recent outing it was. It was
- 26:58Speaker 1: against Baltimore, not a good offense, and he went five
- 27:00Speaker 1: to two thirds on the road. Actually at Baltimore. Gave
- 27:04Speaker 1: up two urn runs in that start, so that was
- 27:07Speaker 1: a good start from him. Two strikeouts, not a high
- 27:10Speaker 1: strikeout rate, but no walks at least, so he did
- 27:13Speaker 1: at least do better. So maybe he is kind of
- 27:15Speaker 1: improving a little bit just based on that. His numbers
- 27:18Speaker 1: aren't good against Anaheim, but it's a very small ten
- 27:20Speaker 1: at bat sample size. They only have four hitters have
- 27:23Speaker 1: ever faced him before. Nido does have a home run
- 27:26Speaker 1: off him. He's a lot of three hundred average and
- 27:29Speaker 1: one thousand ops to them, so his numbers aren't good,
- 27:33Speaker 1: but it is a small sample size, So I mean,
- 27:36Speaker 1: I probably would kind of have to lean to Houston
- 27:38Speaker 1: in this game. They are taking the money even though
- 27:41Speaker 1: they're down for minus one to sixty one fifty five
- 27:44Speaker 1: sixty two percent of tickets ninety five percent of the
- 27:46Speaker 1: cash coming in on Houston, so they are getting the money.
- 27:48Speaker 1: I think rag Getty, I mean, he has way more
- 27:52Speaker 1: room for improvement. Whereas Hendrix, you just know exactly what
- 27:54Speaker 1: he is and he's not that good. Arragetty is at
- 27:58Speaker 1: least better than his numbers look. But it's possible that
- 28:02Speaker 1: the way to play this though, is actually an over,
- 28:04Speaker 1: and yesterday it was ridiculously low scoring too. The total's
- 28:07Speaker 1: gone up to nine juice to the over here it's
- 28:10Speaker 1: headed towards ten, which is a ridiculous total for a
- 28:13Speaker 1: game at Houston. Ninety four percent take is ninety eight
- 28:15Speaker 1: percent of cash coming in on the over. I mean,
- 28:17Speaker 1: you get the benefit of Anaheim's bullpend not being good.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Houston's bullpen is kind of injured right now. Both starting
- 28:24Speaker 1: pitchers could potentially not do well there, so I would
- 28:27Speaker 1: actually maybe even say it over is actually the best
- 28:30Speaker 1: way to look at that game, although I do have
- 28:31Speaker 1: a slight lean to Houston as well. Yankees White Sox,
- 28:34Speaker 1: I'm gonna give out a play on that game as well.
- 28:37Speaker 1: I'll skip it for now. San Diego at Minnesota on
- 28:40Speaker 1: Minnesota actually got the win yesterday despite returning O from
- 28:43Speaker 1: a road trip San Diego. They're really not good on
- 28:46Speaker 1: the road man, because San Diego they still have something
- 28:49Speaker 1: to play for. They're trying to win the NL West,
- 28:51Speaker 1: trying to ensure that they make the playoffs. Minnesota basically
- 28:54Speaker 1: unloaded their team at the All Star breaks, so all
- 28:57Speaker 1: they really have to play for is getting some wins
- 29:00Speaker 1: against some good teams crazy that they won yesterday. San
- 29:03Speaker 1: Diego obviously has the better bullpen here. Minnesota didn't use
- 29:07Speaker 1: as much of their bullpen really yesterday, though San Diego.
- 29:10Speaker 1: The guys they did use out of their bullpen yesterday
- 29:12Speaker 1: they used quite heavily, although they San Diego has a
- 29:15Speaker 1: lot of good arms in that bullpen though they're a
- 29:17Speaker 1: really good bullpen, so they still have the bullpen edge here.
- 29:21Speaker 1: As far as the hitting, neither of these teams are
- 29:23Speaker 1: very good offensively, and Minnesota actually has a higher OPS
- 29:27Speaker 1: this season in San Diego, though it's really close. San
- 29:30Speaker 1: Diego probably has more potential in their offense in Minnesota
- 29:33Speaker 1: because they traded guys like Correa away. Maybe you do
- 29:37Speaker 1: tip the offensive edge a little bit to San Diego,
- 29:40Speaker 1: but it's close. San Diego does have the better starter
- 29:43Speaker 1: with Nick Pavetta here two point eight two ERA point
- 29:47Speaker 1: nine to four whip. I mean, that's elite, but he's
- 29:50Speaker 1: doing a lot of that at home in their Pitcher
- 29:52Speaker 1: Froendly Ballpark. He hasn't been as good on the road
- 29:55Speaker 1: three point four to three ERA. On the road, still good,
- 29:58Speaker 1: but not as good. Month he's been good two point
- 30:01Speaker 1: eight to fourty RA thirty to nine strike a walk ratio,
- 30:05Speaker 1: so again, he's still in good form. His last couple
- 30:07Speaker 1: of starts, he's allowed two or fewer earned runs and
- 30:09Speaker 1: three starts in a row, two of them against San
- 30:11Speaker 1: Francisco though a bad offense, but the other one against
- 30:14Speaker 1: the Dodgers a good offense. Minnesota is a bad offense,
- 30:18Speaker 1: and they don't have that much experience against them. They've
- 30:20Speaker 1: only seen Paveda fifteen at bats where only five of
- 30:23Speaker 1: their hitters have faced and which seems kind of strange
- 30:26Speaker 1: because he was in the American League with the Red Sox.
- 30:28Speaker 1: But whatever, they only have fifteen at bats against him.
- 30:32Speaker 1: He's hell him to a two hundred average six hundred
- 30:34Speaker 1: ohps five to three strike a walk ratio is not great,
- 30:37Speaker 1: but overall, I do think Paveta probably will come out
- 30:40Speaker 1: and handle Minnesota here would be my opinion. I think
- 30:43Speaker 1: he will pitch well. Taj Bradley is pitching for Minnesota,
- 30:47Speaker 1: not having a good season four point nine to five
- 30:49Speaker 1: VRA one point three two whip. He's still pretty young
- 30:52Speaker 1: twenty four, so he does have the potential to maybe
- 30:55Speaker 1: get better, but he's been bad at home five point
- 30:59Speaker 1: four three However, that was all with Tampa Bay, and
- 31:02Speaker 1: you know Tampa Bay plays in that spring training stadium
- 31:05Speaker 1: which is a very hitter friendly stadium. So we don't
- 31:08Speaker 1: know what his numbers are gonna look like pitching at
- 31:10Speaker 1: home from Minnesota yet. But his first start with Minnesota
- 31:14Speaker 1: was horrendous. It was against the White Sox on the road,
- 31:17Speaker 1: very weak offense, and he gave up seven earned runs
- 31:20Speaker 1: in five innings in that game, one strike out, one walk,
- 31:23Speaker 1: nine hits allowed. Very bad outing from him. So Bradley,
- 31:27Speaker 1: I don't think we could trust him at all in
- 31:29Speaker 1: this matchup. And his numbers against San Diego are bad,
- 31:31Speaker 1: even though only five of their heroes have faced him before.
- 31:34Speaker 1: In thirty one at bats. They have a four to
- 31:36Speaker 1: fifty two average, one thousand and forty two ops uh,
- 31:40Speaker 1: two to three strike out walker ratio, and home runs
- 31:42Speaker 1: from Machado and O'Hearn h So Bradley could get absolutely
- 31:47Speaker 1: wiped in this game. Man. So San Diego they do
- 31:49Speaker 1: have the pitching edge across the board here, but ridiculously
- 31:53Speaker 1: the money is coming in on Minnesota. I can't figure
- 31:57Speaker 1: that one out. It seems to me like San Diego
- 31:59Speaker 1: has the vantage across the board here. I know that
- 32:02Speaker 1: some of it has to do with the fact that
- 32:03Speaker 1: their road favorite, and I know they're bad on the road,
- 32:06Speaker 1: so I think maybe the money is kind of saying, well,
- 32:09Speaker 1: just the price isn't justified. But I don't really see
- 32:12Speaker 1: San Diego losing this game, especially after losing yesterday, because
- 32:17Speaker 1: that kind of gives you extra motivation, you know, when
- 32:21Speaker 1: you lose a game like that to a bad team.
- 32:23Speaker 1: San Diego down for one fifty five to ninety three
- 32:26Speaker 1: percent of tickets on them, fifty four percent of the
- 32:29Speaker 1: cash coming in on Minnesota though, so strong market read
- 32:32Speaker 1: on the Minnesota side, I don't really see it. Seattle Cleveland,
- 32:37Speaker 1: this almost made my card. This was almost a fifth
- 32:40Speaker 1: baseball play for me on the under in this game
- 32:43Speaker 1: in Seattle Cleveland. I like the under in this one.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Both bullpens are very well rested, so that's part of
- 32:49Speaker 1: the reason why. UH Seattle was off on Thursday and
- 32:52Speaker 1: then they only used two pitchers yesterday. Cleveland also was
- 32:56Speaker 1: off on Thursday and also only used two pitchers yesterday,
- 32:59Speaker 1: so we have a ton of boot and bullpen rest
- 33:01Speaker 1: in this game. Cleveland somehow remains fourth in bullpen era.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Seattle is not that much worse at eleventh, so we
- 33:09Speaker 1: have good bullpens rest at bullpen's. Cleveland is a very
- 33:13Speaker 1: bad offense. Seattle's offense is obviously the better one. Seattle
- 33:16Speaker 1: does have more motivation here because they're trying to make
- 33:18Speaker 1: the playoffs. They're still fighting for their division. Cleveland pretty
- 33:22Speaker 1: much nothing left to play for here. Cleveland did win
- 33:25Speaker 1: yesterday five to four, though they have won three games
- 33:27Speaker 1: in a row. Seattle may show up with more intensity
- 33:32Speaker 1: because of that. Though Logan Gilbert is pitching for Seattle here.
- 33:35Speaker 1: He's got good numbers three point six to nine ERA
- 33:38Speaker 1: one point zero three whip, but he's way worse on
- 33:41Speaker 1: the road six ERA on the roads. That's part of
- 33:44Speaker 1: the reason why I'm hesitanting a little bit to go
- 33:46Speaker 1: under in this game. His numbers on the road are
- 33:49Speaker 1: just very, very bad. But Cleveland is such a bad offense.
- 33:52Speaker 1: I do think he's gonna do well anyway. He's in
- 33:55Speaker 1: good form this month, thirty three to six, strike out
- 33:58Speaker 1: walk ratio, although is yeah, is bad four point six
- 34:01Speaker 1: to two, but that's because of one start where he
- 34:03Speaker 1: got lit up at Philadelphia. Although that was a road start.
- 34:07Speaker 1: They hit him, they got him for six runs in
- 34:09Speaker 1: two winnings, but other than that, he's allowed three or
- 34:12Speaker 1: fewer earned runs in all four of his other starts
- 34:14Speaker 1: this month. He got thirteen strikeouts last time out in
- 34:18Speaker 1: a six inning, one run performance against the A's. That
- 34:22Speaker 1: was a really good performance. His strikeout rate being really
- 34:24Speaker 1: high indicates that he is in command right now. His
- 34:27Speaker 1: numbers against Cleveland are decent, and they haven't really seen
- 34:30Speaker 1: him much. Cleveland only has three hitters have seen him
- 34:33Speaker 1: before twenty eight at bats. I have six strikeouts, no walks.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Ramirez does have one oh run off him. They have
- 34:39Speaker 1: a two eighty six average, which is pretty high, but
- 34:41Speaker 1: seven to fourteen ops not that high. So I do
- 34:44Speaker 1: think Gilbert will do well in this specific matchup, even
- 34:48Speaker 1: though he's not good on the road. Typically, he's up
- 34:51Speaker 1: against Gavin Williams, who does have a three point three
- 34:54Speaker 1: six RRA for Cleveland. That's good, although his whip is
- 34:56Speaker 1: too high one point three to two whip is not good.
- 35:00Speaker 1: He's a little bit better at home three point one
- 35:02Speaker 1: to eighty r at home. But the thing that worries
- 35:04Speaker 1: me about Williams is that his recent form has been bad.
- 35:08Speaker 1: He's basically started alternating good and bad starts. And since
- 35:11Speaker 1: he took that no hitter into the final out against
- 35:16Speaker 1: the Mets and wound up giving up a home run
- 35:17Speaker 1: and he was that close to having a no hitter,
- 35:20Speaker 1: he had a really bad start the next time out
- 35:22Speaker 1: because he threw one hundred and twenty six pitches in
- 35:24Speaker 1: the game against the Mets. I think that wore him down.
- 35:27Speaker 1: He was hung over, had a really bad start against
- 35:29Speaker 1: Miami the next time out. He bounced back with a
- 35:31Speaker 1: nice shutout on the road. So his better starts recently
- 35:35Speaker 1: actually came on the road for whatever reason at Arizona
- 35:39Speaker 1: shut them out for five and a third. But his
- 35:40Speaker 1: most recent start was terrible at Texas Texas not a
- 35:44Speaker 1: good offense. Gave up three on runs, walked four guys,
- 35:47Speaker 1: only lasted three and a third. Very inefficient pitch wise,
- 35:51Speaker 1: ninety pitches. So I can't say he's in good form
- 35:54Speaker 1: right now, even though he's a two point seven to
- 35:55Speaker 1: three ERA this month, twenty six to twelve strikeout walk
- 35:58Speaker 1: ratio not good. That's too many walks. Again, his problem
- 36:02Speaker 1: really is the walks. So I don't know if we
- 36:04Speaker 1: could really trust him just because his recent form isn't good.
- 36:07Speaker 1: His numbers against Seattle are good. They only have five
- 36:10Speaker 1: hits and thirty at bats against him. Raley does have
- 36:13Speaker 1: a home run, but three strikeouts, two walks, one sixty
- 36:16Speaker 1: seven average allowed in five nineteen ops allowed to uh
- 36:19Speaker 1: whoops to Seattle for Williams. But I do lean to
- 36:25Speaker 1: the under in this game anyway. Rested bullpens are a
- 36:29Speaker 1: big part of it. The total is already getting really low.
- 36:33Speaker 1: It flipped from seven and a half juice to the
- 36:35Speaker 1: over to seven and a half juice to the under,
- 36:37Speaker 1: so it is a very low total. Seventy one percent
- 36:39Speaker 1: of tickets around the over and nine percent of the
- 36:42Speaker 1: cash on the unders. It's a huge like pros versus
- 36:45Speaker 1: Joe's market read here too, So the pros appear to
- 36:48Speaker 1: be taking the under in this game. Again, I do
- 36:50Speaker 1: agree with it. If you want to go under, you
- 36:53Speaker 1: got to get the seven and a half man, I
- 36:54Speaker 1: would say, try to get the best of the number seven.
- 36:57Speaker 1: I guess you could still go under seven if you
- 36:59Speaker 1: really have a definitely don't go under six and a
- 37:01Speaker 1: half though, seven very key number. Seattle is down for
- 37:06Speaker 1: minus one forty five to minus one thirty three on
- 37:08Speaker 1: the money line. Sixty takes ninety percent of the cash
- 37:11Speaker 1: on Seattle, so the money seems to actually becoming you know, Seattle,
- 37:14Speaker 1: even though they initially dropped on the money line. So Gilbert,
- 37:20Speaker 1: I mean, I suppose Gilbert is the more trustworthy pitcher.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Just his strikeout walk numbers are way better than Williams's.
- 37:25Speaker 1: So take all that into account, I guess. But I
- 37:28Speaker 1: think the way to play that game is the under
- 37:31Speaker 1: the bulp. Like the first thing I saw was the
- 37:33Speaker 1: bullpen rest scenarios like, man, that looks good for an under.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Detroit is at Kansas City, so Zach is gonna pop
- 37:40Speaker 1: up here? Charles, what's up? Man t Bow? And that's right?
- 37:46Speaker 1: Uh oh wait, I already said what's up? Didn't I?
- 37:48Speaker 1: Because I pointed out the autistic Canadian thing. Kansas City
- 37:51Speaker 1: return over from a road trip and lost yesterday. Again,
- 37:54Speaker 1: it's a road trip return spot, I mean, not the
- 37:56Speaker 1: greatest spot for Kansas City. Although you know, Kansas City
- 37:59Speaker 1: is not overlook Detroit. Kansas City is still trying to
- 38:02Speaker 1: make the playoffs too, so they will show up here.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Detroit should show up as well because they're trying to
- 38:08Speaker 1: ensure their playoff spot. Probably want to make sure that
- 38:10Speaker 1: Kansas City is in their rear view mirror. But in
- 38:14Speaker 1: this situation, man, I think Kansas City could be in
- 38:17Speaker 1: a little bit of a bounce back spot because they
- 38:20Speaker 1: lost yesterday. In the return home spot, they have a
- 38:22Speaker 1: little bit more motivation than Detroit probably does. Kansas City
- 38:25Speaker 1: will be a home underdog in this game. Yes, the
- 38:28Speaker 1: big advantage Detroit as is that their offense is the
- 38:31Speaker 1: better offense. Kansas City's is not good. Kansas City has
- 38:35Speaker 1: the better bullpen, although they used four relief pitchers, but
- 38:38Speaker 1: so did Detroit, so Kansas City does have the better bullpen.
- 38:42Speaker 1: Starting pitching is interesting because you look at this on
- 38:45Speaker 1: the surface and it looks like you want to lead
- 38:47Speaker 1: to Detroit because they have the more established starred or
- 38:50Speaker 1: in Jack Flaherty. But he's not really having a great season.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Four point eight seven ERA, one point three whip that's
- 38:56Speaker 1: not very good. He's actually been really bad on the road,
- 39:00Speaker 1: six point eighty R on the road. You'd think, well,
- 39:04Speaker 1: but it's Kansas City pitcher front the ballpark Kansas City
- 39:07Speaker 1: that can't hit, so he should do better against Kansas
- 39:10Speaker 1: Kansas City, right, Well, his last start was against Kansas
- 39:13Speaker 1: City and he only went five innings and he allowed
- 39:15Speaker 1: eight earned runs on ten hits in that outing. So
- 39:18Speaker 1: you think he's good against Kansas City, he's not. He's
- 39:22Speaker 1: a six point three three ERA this month. Detroit's lost
- 39:26Speaker 1: four of his five starts, and it's not like he's
- 39:29Speaker 1: facing good offenses year either. He had a good start
- 39:32Speaker 1: against Philadelphia and then his bad starts are against Minnesota,
- 39:35Speaker 1: the White Sox in Kansas City. So these weak offenses
- 39:38Speaker 1: in his own division, he's bad against all of them.
- 39:41Speaker 1: Makes no sense, but yeah, I mean it seems to
- 39:44Speaker 1: be a trend. He does have a twenty eight to
- 39:46Speaker 1: six strike a walk race here this month, so that
- 39:48Speaker 1: is good, but these bad offenses in his division are
- 39:52Speaker 1: wrecking him. Man and his last outing in July against
- 39:56Speaker 1: a bad offense Pittsburgh, he did badly in that start too.
- 40:00Speaker 1: It's like it messes with his head or something. Against
- 40:02Speaker 1: Kansas City, his numbers aren't good, like I said, in
- 40:04Speaker 1: sixty six at bats to eighty eight to average, allowed
- 40:07Speaker 1: seven to sixty two ops, so Flawerty not good against
- 40:11Speaker 1: Kansas City. Although twelve to five strike a walk ratio
- 40:14Speaker 1: is okay. He's going up against Stephen Coleck, who doesn't
- 40:18Speaker 1: have good numbers this year, four point one eighty RA,
- 40:21Speaker 1: one point three to one whip. He was on San
- 40:23Speaker 1: Diego this entire time. He's been really difficult to figure out, man,
- 40:27Speaker 1: because San Diego has a pitcher friendly park. But he
- 40:30Speaker 1: had a nine point four or five ERA there, and
- 40:33Speaker 1: now he's going from San Diego to another pitcher friendly
- 40:36Speaker 1: park at Kansas City. Does that mean he's gonna also
- 40:38Speaker 1: be really bad at home in Kansas City. I mean,
- 40:41Speaker 1: it just makes no sense. I don't know, man, but
- 40:47Speaker 1: he got traded at the trade deadline. He hasn't pitched
- 40:49Speaker 1: in the majors since July. Let me actually look real quickly.
- 40:53Speaker 1: I'm gonna look real quickly at his minor league numbers
- 40:55Speaker 1: here because I didn't look because I wasn't gonna play
- 40:57Speaker 1: this game Coleck and the miners this year. Let me see,
- 41:00Speaker 1: because I think that's where he was in the meantime. Here,
- 41:05Speaker 1: Triple A, where are we at here? I'm looking real
- 41:09Speaker 1: quick in Triple A? He was actually bad at Triple A. Omaha.
- 41:13Speaker 1: He had a six point six three ERA and two
- 41:16Speaker 1: point one to one whip and three fifty seven batting
- 41:19Speaker 1: average allowed in nineteen innings. I don't know if that
- 41:22Speaker 1: was where he was most recently, but that's not a
- 41:24Speaker 1: good sign. Cola terrible in Triple A. Although Detroit's never
- 41:30Speaker 1: faced him before, So does that mean he's gonna have
- 41:33Speaker 1: a little bit of a the mystery edge there, the
- 41:35Speaker 1: fact that they haven't seen it before. I mean maybe.
- 41:41Speaker 1: I mean his overall numbers really aren't that horrific this
- 41:43Speaker 1: year because of the unfamiliarity, because Flowerty is just so
- 41:48Speaker 1: bad against Kansas City and they just saw him and
- 41:50Speaker 1: it is a bounce back spot for Kansas City. Yeah,
- 41:53Speaker 1: my leaning this game would be to Kansas City. Uh yeah,
- 41:58Speaker 1: Charles Tigers eight and three against as the City. Yeah,
- 42:00Speaker 1: but what's their record with Flaherty on the mound against
- 42:03Speaker 1: Kansas City. I'm pretty sure it's not eight and three?
- 42:06Speaker 1: Let me see, because I know they lost one of
- 42:08Speaker 1: those games, the most recent one. What else did he do?
- 42:11Speaker 1: Do he pitch against Kansas City? Otherwise? This here? No,
- 42:13Speaker 1: that was the only time. So Flaherty is owned one
- 42:16Speaker 1: against Kansas City this year and his numbers again are
- 42:19Speaker 1: not good against them. The money seems like it is
- 42:22Speaker 1: coming in on Detroit, but they're a public road favorite too.
- 42:25Speaker 1: They're down for minus one twenty to minus one sixteen.
- 42:27Speaker 1: Here seventy four percent of tickets ninety five percent of
- 42:31Speaker 1: the cash coming in on them, so the cash seems
- 42:34Speaker 1: to be on their side. I don't know, man, I mean,
- 42:38Speaker 1: I have a slight lean to Kansas City, but it's possible.
- 42:40Speaker 1: The better way to play this might be an over
- 42:43Speaker 1: Kansas City up from nine to nine, or excuse me,
- 42:45Speaker 1: the total up from nine to nine, juice to the over.
- 42:49Speaker 1: Ninety six percent of tickets, only ninety two percent of
- 42:51Speaker 1: the cash on the over. But Flaherty, I mean, his
- 42:53Speaker 1: bad matchup numbers plus colect being so bad in triple A,
- 42:57Speaker 1: the unfamiliarity might not help him out here. He's been
- 43:00Speaker 1: so bad pitching at home this year in pitcher friendly parks,
- 43:03Speaker 1: he might not do well here. So over might make
- 43:07Speaker 1: sense here. And we do have some question marks in
- 43:10Speaker 1: the bullpench just as far as the USA is concerned, Well,
- 43:13Speaker 1: thank you. I'm not saying I'm definitely right. I think
- 43:15Speaker 1: actually probably the over is the better way, although I
- 43:17Speaker 1: do have a slight lean to Kansas City in that
- 43:19Speaker 1: game too. Baltimore at San Francisco. San Francisco is on
- 43:24Speaker 1: a roll right now. They've won six games in a row.
- 43:26Speaker 1: This pathetic offensive. Theirs has actually scored double digit runs
- 43:30Speaker 1: two of the last three games. They beat Baltimore fifteen
- 43:33Speaker 1: to eight yesterday, but Baltimore was having to travel across
- 43:36Speaker 1: country to the Pacific Coast, so not exactly the easiest
- 43:39Speaker 1: spot coming off that big series against the Red Sox.
- 43:44Speaker 1: Baltimore's lost five games in a row. So we have
- 43:46Speaker 1: two trains moving in opposite directions. But both of these
- 43:50Speaker 1: teams are kind of out of it now, and I
- 43:51Speaker 1: actually think that these trains will actually both collide and
- 43:56Speaker 1: they'll both stop in this one, because I do actually
- 43:59Speaker 1: kind of lean to Baltimore in this one. Maybe it's
- 44:02Speaker 1: a first five inning play though, because San Francisco does
- 44:04Speaker 1: have the way better bullpen, and they didn't use a
- 44:06Speaker 1: whole lot of it over the last few days, so
- 44:08Speaker 1: their bullpen's good and it's in good shape. Baltimore's bullpen
- 44:11Speaker 1: is not good, and it's not really in good shape either,
- 44:14Speaker 1: so San Francisco does have a bullpen edge. San Francisco's
- 44:18Speaker 1: offense is still so weak that I think Baltimore does
- 44:21Speaker 1: have the better offense here. I mean, I could check
- 44:24Speaker 1: that quickly, but Baltimore actually not even that bad. They're
- 44:28Speaker 1: like a mid tier offense. Ops. Why San Francisco is
- 44:31Speaker 1: in the bottom six but San Francisco, well, I'll they
- 44:36Speaker 1: have decided on a pitcher today, so I'll talk about
- 44:39Speaker 1: that in a second. Trevor Rodgers is pitching for Baltimore, though,
- 44:42Speaker 1: and he's been just inexplicably awesome. Like I've pointed out
- 44:47Speaker 1: multiple times, he wasn't good when he was on Miami,
- 44:49Speaker 1: he wasn't good in the minors this year, but he's
- 44:51Speaker 1: been excellent for Baltimore. I don't really get it, but
- 44:54Speaker 1: I've gone with him the last couple of times he's pitched,
- 44:58Speaker 1: and it's worked out one point four yard point eight
- 45:00Speaker 1: three whip or the last couple of times that that
- 45:04Speaker 1: I've decided to make a play on a Baltimore game
- 45:06Speaker 1: with him pitching, I guess I should say. But yeah,
- 45:08Speaker 1: his numbers are great. He's a little bit worse on
- 45:10Speaker 1: the road, but that's still a one point eight to
- 45:12Speaker 1: ninety ra. Baltimore's won his last four starts. I've actually
- 45:16Speaker 1: won something like ten of his thirteen starts on the season,
- 45:20Speaker 1: they've won something like that. He's allowed one or fewer
- 45:24Speaker 1: earned runs and every out and going all the way
- 45:26Speaker 1: back into July, and he's allowed two or fewer going
- 45:29Speaker 1: all the way back into early June, and he's only
- 45:31Speaker 1: allowed more than more than two earned runs once. Hasn't
- 45:34Speaker 1: allowed more than three earned runs at all this entire season,
- 45:37Speaker 1: although he hasn't pitched the entire season, but he's pitched
- 45:40Speaker 1: more than half of it at this point. I think
- 45:42Speaker 1: one point two ninety ra this month with a thirty
- 45:45Speaker 1: six to six strike a walk ratio. He's gone at
- 45:47Speaker 1: least six innings in every outing, allowed one earned run
- 45:50Speaker 1: exactly in every outing, and Baltimore's won his last four starts,
- 45:54Speaker 1: some of them against good lineups too, So Rogers is
- 45:57Speaker 1: doing this against Cubs, Red sox SO and some of
- 46:01Speaker 1: those on the road, all of those actually on the road,
- 46:04Speaker 1: so he is pitching well. San Francisco is a step
- 46:06Speaker 1: down offensively from those teams, big time, and this is
- 46:09Speaker 1: a pitcher friendly park. His numbers are mediocre against San
- 46:12Speaker 1: Francisco that they saw him, I guess when he was
- 46:14Speaker 1: on Miami forty one at bats thirteen to four strike
- 46:18Speaker 1: a walk ratio is pretty good, but at two sixty
- 46:20Speaker 1: eight batting average, seven to twenty four oh ps. Not
- 46:22Speaker 1: horrible numbers, but mediocre. But he's so good this season.
- 46:27Speaker 1: I do expect him to pitch well here too. He's
- 46:29Speaker 1: in good form, and San Francisco has listed Carson Seymour
- 46:33Speaker 1: as their starter, so he's a relief pitcher, so they're
- 46:36Speaker 1: going with a bullpen game here. He's got a three
- 46:39Speaker 1: point seven four ERA one point three to eight whip,
- 46:41Speaker 1: he's a hefty guy to six point six six two
- 46:44Speaker 1: fifty five man. Uh, he's got a three point three
- 46:48Speaker 1: eight home YRA, but I think you're only gonna get
- 46:50Speaker 1: probably two or three innings out of him. He's made
- 46:53Speaker 1: a couple of two three inning outings this year. He's
- 46:56Speaker 1: been okay, but I mean, uh, San Francisco lost all
- 47:00Speaker 1: of his outings this month before his last outing where
- 47:03Speaker 1: he went one inning against the Cubs, so all the
- 47:06Speaker 1: other games that he was in they lost. Sol though
- 47:08Speaker 1: it might have been a situation where they were just
- 47:10Speaker 1: putting him in in games that were already out of
- 47:12Speaker 1: hand for them to some extent because he came in
- 47:15Speaker 1: in relief, I think in all those outings. But this
- 47:18Speaker 1: means it's basically a bullpen game for the Giants. Although yes,
- 47:21Speaker 1: their bullpen is good and it is rested, so maybe
- 47:24Speaker 1: that's not terrible for the Giants there. But I would
- 47:27Speaker 1: lean to Baltimore in the first five innings and that one,
- 47:29Speaker 1: although they're down for might just one twenty three to
- 47:31Speaker 1: minus one thirteen. But maybe that's my old school nature
- 47:34Speaker 1: not liking the bullpen game. Eighty three percent tickets, ninety
- 47:37Speaker 1: two percent of the cash coming in on San France.
- 47:39Speaker 1: The money is coming in on San Francisco a little bit,
- 47:42Speaker 1: but they are public as well because they've been winning
- 47:45Speaker 1: every game recently. The under might also be worth a
- 47:49Speaker 1: look here because San Francisco at least their bullpen is rested,
- 47:52Speaker 1: so a bullpen game might not actually be that bad.
- 47:54Speaker 1: Neither offense is that Gunn Rogers has been so good
- 47:57Speaker 1: and under in a picture friendly park like this, those
- 48:00Speaker 1: make sense to me. The totals at eight seventy one
- 48:02Speaker 1: percent of tickets only sixty three percent of the cash
- 48:05Speaker 1: on the over, so it seems like the money's coming
- 48:07Speaker 1: in in the under. I don't disagree with that, obviously.
- 48:10Speaker 1: I agree with that. Cubs are at the Rockies. Rockies
- 48:14Speaker 1: lost yesterday eleven to seven, high scoring game. I thought
- 48:17Speaker 1: it would not be as high scoring as it was.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Cubs have motivation here obviously because the Cubs are trying
- 48:23Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Make sure they make the playoffs.
- 48:28Speaker 1: Colorado was out of it, but with the Cubs in
- 48:30Speaker 1: your house, I mean, you're probably gonna step up for
- 48:32Speaker 1: a game against the Cubs, regardless. Should have mentioned by
- 48:35Speaker 1: the way Baltimore San Francisco they are both out of it,
- 48:39Speaker 1: so take that into account. The Cubs have the better
- 48:41Speaker 1: offense and the better bullpen over Colorado, but they used
- 48:44Speaker 1: five relief pitchers yesterday or no four? Excuse me? Colorado
- 48:48Speaker 1: used three, and actually you sends a Tella out of
- 48:51Speaker 1: the bullpen, so Colorado might have moved him out of
- 48:53Speaker 1: the starting retation. I still think you got to give
- 48:56Speaker 1: the bullpen edge to the Cubs here. Starting pitching is
- 48:59Speaker 1: interesting here, and the Cubs have the more established starter,
- 49:02Speaker 1: so you probably do give them the starting pitching edge.
- 49:04Speaker 1: With Javier assad Man, since he's been ousted from being
- 49:09Speaker 1: the leader of Syria, he's now in the Cubs starting
- 49:12Speaker 1: pitching rotation. He's got a three point eight six ERA
- 49:16Speaker 1: and one point two to nine whip. His whip is
- 49:18Speaker 1: definitely too high. That's been the problem with a SOD.
- 49:21Speaker 1: I mean, he's had a decent ERA throughout his career
- 49:23Speaker 1: but so far, but his whip has always been too high.
- 49:27Speaker 1: He walks too many guys, isn't really a strikeout guy.
- 49:29Speaker 1: He doesn't have a four point five road ERA, which
- 49:31Speaker 1: isn't that good. And I actually looked up his stats
- 49:34Speaker 1: at course field. He's actually been pretty bad in course field.
- 49:37Speaker 1: He's pitched in courts field I actually, I think three
- 49:39Speaker 1: times over the last three seasons, and he hasn't really
- 49:42Speaker 1: done well in any of those outings. He's only made
- 49:46Speaker 1: three starts this year, and they did ramp him up
- 49:48Speaker 1: in each. Uh, well, they didn't really ramp him up,
- 49:50Speaker 1: but he did get the six innings the last time out,
- 49:52Speaker 1: so that's a decent sign that he went deeper into
- 49:54Speaker 1: the game last time out. He only allowed one on
- 49:56Speaker 1: run the last couple outings, but they were against Anaheim
- 49:59Speaker 1: pits Burgh. Pittsburgh very bad offense. But we do know
- 50:02Speaker 1: that Colorado is also a bad offense. But again, this
- 50:05Speaker 1: is course field, so I'm not quite sold on a
- 50:08Speaker 1: SOD pitching well in this one. Colorado has good numbers
- 50:11Speaker 1: against him. Actually, in thirty three at bats, they have
- 50:14Speaker 1: a three ninety four average, one tho ninety seven ops.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Goodman and Arcia both have home runs off him. And
- 50:21Speaker 1: again it's course field, so Asad may not pitch well here.
- 50:25Speaker 1: He's going up against mccaid brown for Colorado, who I
- 50:28Speaker 1: believe made his major league debut last time out and
- 50:31Speaker 1: it did not go well. It was against Pittsburgh, so
- 50:35Speaker 1: he got the easy draw there against Pittsburgh and did
- 50:38Speaker 1: terribly anyway, Unlike my man Peyton Toley, who did pretty
- 50:42Speaker 1: well for the Red Sox yesterday, he just started wearing
- 50:44Speaker 1: down a little bit when it got into the fifth
- 50:46Speaker 1: inning or a sixth inning. Excuse me, mckaid brown. He
- 50:50Speaker 1: didn't do well in the start against Pittsburgh. Three and
- 50:52Speaker 1: two thirds innings, four and runs, allowed, three walks, two strikeouts.
- 50:57Speaker 1: Wasn't a good outing for him. Don't expect him to
- 50:59Speaker 1: do well here even so, obviously the Cubs haven't seen
- 51:02Speaker 1: him before, but he's not pitching well. I mean, the
- 51:04Speaker 1: Cubs good offense obviously, so I think an over maybe
- 51:09Speaker 1: be the way to look in this game. I mean,
- 51:12Speaker 1: for the Cubs, you're obviously paying too much of a
- 51:13Speaker 1: price down for minus two hundred minus one ninety five
- 51:16Speaker 1: eighty five percent tickets seventy nine percent of the cash
- 51:18Speaker 1: on them to the money coming in against the Cubs
- 51:21Speaker 1: at least at that price. Again, with a high price
- 51:23Speaker 1: like that, it's basically just saying the price is too high.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Not necessarily, the Cubs are gonna lose. The game total
- 51:29Speaker 1: drop from eleven and a half to eleven. And we
- 51:30Speaker 1: don't really see the percentages on this thing yet, but
- 51:33Speaker 1: I would probably lean to the over in that game,
- 51:36Speaker 1: even though I know yesterday's game is very high scoring
- 51:38Speaker 1: as well. Arizona at the Dodgers, I'm actually surprised the
- 51:41Speaker 1: Dodgers lost yesterday, lost their win streak and they lost
- 51:45Speaker 1: three to nothing. So sometimes when you lose a win
- 51:48Speaker 1: streak like that, it will hang you over into the
- 51:49Speaker 1: next game. But maybe not for the Dodgers, because they
- 51:54Speaker 1: got shut out man and the Dodgers are still playing
- 51:56Speaker 1: for something here. Arizona's gonna show up too, because it's
- 51:59Speaker 1: a big visional game against the Dodgers, even though Arizona
- 52:02Speaker 1: is out of it. The Dodgers obviously trying to win
- 52:06Speaker 1: their division, so they're gonna show up to the Dodgers.
- 52:10Speaker 1: I thought they were in a good spot yesterday, especially
- 52:12Speaker 1: because they didn't play the day before. That very crazy
- 52:15Speaker 1: that they wound up losing and getting shut out. The
- 52:19Speaker 1: Dodgers getting shut out at home is a very unlikely
- 52:22Speaker 1: scenario because they have the most runs scored at home
- 52:24Speaker 1: in all of baseball. The Dodgers use four relief pitchers yesterday.
- 52:28Speaker 1: Their bullpen's not good, but Arizona's is worse. Although Arizona's
- 52:32Speaker 1: bullpen is more well rested, and they actually had a
- 52:34Speaker 1: pretty rested bullpen after Thursday even though they played on Thursday,
- 52:38Speaker 1: so Arizona's bullpen is more rested than the Dodgers. Neither
- 52:42Speaker 1: bullpen is good, so that kind of does even out
- 52:46Speaker 1: the bullpen scenario a little bit. But I think the
- 52:48Speaker 1: Dodgers have a big starting pitching edg year at Dwardo
- 52:51Speaker 1: Rodriguez this pitching for Arizona again. He hasn't been good
- 52:55Speaker 1: since his Tommy John surgeries. He's getting up there in
- 52:57Speaker 1: age a little bit. I don't know that he's ever
- 52:59Speaker 1: really gonna return into what he was a five point
- 53:01Speaker 1: six seven ERA one point six to four whip is
- 53:04Speaker 1: just awful. He's been pretty much the same home and
- 53:07Speaker 1: road home road splits very insignificant. He's got a five
- 53:11Speaker 1: point eight one ERA this month, eighteen to thirteen strike
- 53:14Speaker 1: a walk ratio very not good, even though his team
- 53:18Speaker 1: won four games in a row of his they were
- 53:20Speaker 1: against Colorado, Cleveland, the A's. I mean, that was a
- 53:23Speaker 1: difficult one at the A's. It's a tough place to pitch.
- 53:27Speaker 1: But other than that, weak lineups, and then he had
- 53:29Speaker 1: a bad start against a strong lineup against Milwaukee last
- 53:32Speaker 1: time out. He's given up four or more on runs
- 53:34Speaker 1: and three of his last four outings, so he's not
- 53:36Speaker 1: actually in good form right now. Only had one strikeout
- 53:40Speaker 1: in that last outing, tool though was a shortened outing
- 53:43Speaker 1: because he pitched really poorly. But he's obviously facing a
- 53:46Speaker 1: really good Dodger line up here, and the Dodgers have
- 53:48Speaker 1: absolutely smacked him in ninety four at bats, so he
- 53:51Speaker 1: has a lot of a lot of history against him.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Twenty two and to nine strike at walk ratio isn't
- 53:56Speaker 1: two bad, but four point thirty six batting average allowed
- 54:00Speaker 1: thousand and two seventy nine oh ps is ridiculous. So
- 54:03Speaker 1: his numbers against the Dodgers are terrible. And he's going
- 54:06Speaker 1: up against Tyler Glasnow who is one of the best
- 54:09Speaker 1: pitchers in the Dodgers' rotation three point three six ERA,
- 54:13Speaker 1: one point one seven WHIP, really good numbers. He's been
- 54:17Speaker 1: really good at home two point three two ERA at
- 54:19Speaker 1: home last time out. Not a good start though, only
- 54:22Speaker 1: went four innings, walked four guys give it three on
- 54:25Speaker 1: runs at San Diego, a pitcher friendly park, so he's
- 54:27Speaker 1: gonna have to bounce back from that. But he still
- 54:29Speaker 1: hasn't allowed more than four and runs going all the
- 54:33Speaker 1: way back into April, and he's allowed three or fewer
- 54:36Speaker 1: in all but one start going all the way back
- 54:39Speaker 1: through that period of time. He's ramped up his pitching
- 54:42Speaker 1: like he's going deeper into games now. He's got a
- 54:45Speaker 1: three point three two ERA this month, twenty six to
- 54:47Speaker 1: eleven strike out walk ratio, so it is too many walks.
- 54:50Speaker 1: The walks have been a little bit of an issue
- 54:52Speaker 1: for him recently. Hasn't gone that deep into his recent
- 54:55Speaker 1: starts though, so that's kind of an issue as well.
- 54:57Speaker 1: He's just not efficient with his pitches right now. He
- 54:59Speaker 1: doesn't have high strike gout rate as well, which is
- 55:02Speaker 1: expected as numbers against the d Backs are good and
- 55:05Speaker 1: they only five hitters. I've ever seen them before. Surprisingly
- 55:08Speaker 1: twenty three at bats six to two strike a walk race,
- 55:11Speaker 1: you're two seventeen average allowed and uh five eighty four ohps.
- 55:17Speaker 1: So Glasnow does have the better numbers here. I would
- 55:21Speaker 1: maybe be looking towards maybe Dodgers. You know, you could
- 55:25Speaker 1: go Dodgers over their team total, and maybe that's actually
- 55:27Speaker 1: the best way to go after they got shut out yesterday,
- 55:31Speaker 1: even though Glasnow should have the upper hand of the
- 55:32Speaker 1: starting pitching matchup. If you if you want to go
- 55:34Speaker 1: with just E Rod to get you know, lit up
- 55:37Speaker 1: in this game, the money's coming in in the over
- 55:39Speaker 1: as well, eight and nine percent of tickets, ninety six
- 55:41Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the over, it's up to
- 55:42Speaker 1: eight and a half juice to the over. I think
- 55:45Speaker 1: that the more likely scenario, you're probably gonna get more
- 55:47Speaker 1: of those runs from the Dodgers here, So going to
- 55:50Speaker 1: them over their team total against E Rod plus the
- 55:52Speaker 1: Arizona bullpen makes some sense to me. Dodgers ninety three
- 55:56Speaker 1: percent of tickets, only eighty eight percent of the cash
- 55:58Speaker 1: on them sitting at my min to ten minus to
- 56:01Speaker 1: twelve too much of a price slay with the Dodgers
- 56:04Speaker 1: if you do like the Dodgers in the starting pitching matchup.
- 56:06Speaker 1: You could go like a run line in the first
- 56:09Speaker 1: five innings, but I still think the Dodger team total
- 56:11Speaker 1: is the way to go. Texas at the A's to
- 56:14Speaker 1: finish this off. Of course, we're looking at this very
- 56:18Speaker 1: hitter friendly stadium. Here is the A's playing a Triple
- 56:20Speaker 1: A ballpark. The A's lost yesterday five to two to
- 56:26Speaker 1: start the series. Texas does have something to play for,
- 56:28Speaker 1: of course, they're still really fighting for the division and
- 56:31Speaker 1: a playoff spot. The A's are out of it. Although
- 56:33Speaker 1: the A's have been playing a little bit looser recently.
- 56:36Speaker 1: They're playing a bit better now that they know they're
- 56:38Speaker 1: out of it. They will probably show up for a
- 56:40Speaker 1: home divisional game here Texas obviously, obviously they have the
- 56:44Speaker 1: way better bullpen and they're very rested. I think will
- 56:47Speaker 1: use two relievers over the last two days. The A's
- 56:50Speaker 1: don't have as good a bullpen. They didn't play on
- 56:52Speaker 1: Thursday either of those, so they will only used three
- 56:54Speaker 1: relievers over that span. But Texas has the better bullpen,
- 56:58Speaker 1: the A's have the better offense. Sex Is offense is
- 57:00Speaker 1: not very good. Starting pitching is a very interesting one
- 57:03Speaker 1: with Merrill Kelly pitching for Texas. He's having a good
- 57:07Speaker 1: season between Arizona and Texas. Three point two ERA, one
- 57:10Speaker 1: point oh five whip good pick up for Texas for
- 57:13Speaker 1: the stretch. Run here Man a little bit better on
- 57:15Speaker 1: the road to three point oh five ERA on the road.
- 57:19Speaker 1: He's used to pitching in a hitter friendly park, at
- 57:21Speaker 1: least because he was pitching for Arizona. Uh Since being
- 57:24Speaker 1: acquired by Texas, which is all of his starts this month,
- 57:27Speaker 1: he has a three point one ERA twenty six to
- 57:29Speaker 1: eight strikeout walk ratio, so he's basically just continued to
- 57:32Speaker 1: pitch well. He's allowed more than tour in runs once
- 57:35Speaker 1: against Philly, a good lineup four and runs allowed in
- 57:38Speaker 1: that one. It still wasn't a good start, but he's
- 57:40Speaker 1: been good otherwise. Coming off a seven inning shutout against
- 57:43Speaker 1: Cleveland and the as only of nine at bats against
- 57:47Speaker 1: him because he's been in the National League, so they're
- 57:49Speaker 1: very unfamiliar with They have three hitters I've ever seen
- 57:52Speaker 1: it before, and they're er for nine with five strikeouts
- 57:55Speaker 1: and no walks against him, so none of them even
- 57:57Speaker 1: reach base off of Kelly. Uh So he does have
- 58:00Speaker 1: good matchup numbers. There and he's unfamiliar to them. But
- 58:03Speaker 1: speaking of unfamiliar, Mason Barnett will be making his major
- 58:07Speaker 1: league debut for the A's here, and he's a guy
- 58:11Speaker 1: that does throw hard. He throws mid to upper nineties,
- 58:14Speaker 1: so he's got a good fastball. But I got some
- 58:17Speaker 1: issues with him. And it looks like he's on the
- 58:19Speaker 1: un right now. Right he has an unknown position. Man,
- 58:23Speaker 1: his position is with the un so we should probably
- 58:26Speaker 1: not like this guy. But I have some issues with
- 58:30Speaker 1: Barnett man. Even though his scouting report looks pretty good,
- 58:33Speaker 1: it's mostly like fastball slider though, like I guess that's
- 58:36Speaker 1: kind of the mix that he mostly throws a hard
- 58:39Speaker 1: fastball on a slider, but major league hitters can hit that.
- 58:42Speaker 1: But my main problem is his numbers in Triple A
- 58:44Speaker 1: this year are atrocious. His numbers at Triple A he
- 58:47Speaker 1: has over a six ERA and I believe his whip
- 58:50Speaker 1: is over two. So it's like, how can you trust
- 58:53Speaker 1: this guy if he's been that bad in Triple A.
- 58:55Speaker 1: I don't really understand it. So I mean, yeah, his
- 58:59Speaker 1: scouting report looks good, there's a reason why the A's
- 59:01Speaker 1: are calling him up. You know, give him some work.
- 59:04Speaker 1: See what he can do out there. But he's also
- 59:06Speaker 1: in a very hitter friendly ballpark here too, although he
- 59:10Speaker 1: is facing a weak lineup, so at least there's that again.
- 59:14Speaker 1: All that being set, I mean, the under does still
- 59:17Speaker 1: seem to kind of make sense in this game, even
- 59:19Speaker 1: though it's a hitter friendly ballpark. I would probably only
- 59:21Speaker 1: go first five innings. It would be really just based
- 59:24Speaker 1: on Barnett's ceiling, his potential, and the fact that he's
- 59:27Speaker 1: unknown to Texas and the Texas offense isn't good. But
- 59:30Speaker 1: his triple A numbers really really scare me away. Seventy
- 59:35Speaker 1: percent of tickets on the under, ninety five percent of
- 59:37Speaker 1: the cash on the unders. Of the money is coming
- 59:38Speaker 1: in on the under, it's flipped to ten and a
- 59:40Speaker 1: half juice to the under, and the money's coming in
- 59:43Speaker 1: on the a's, which is crazy. It seems like the
- 59:45Speaker 1: professional money is sold on Mason Barnett. I mean, are
- 59:49Speaker 1: they not looking at his triple A numbers? I don't know,
- 59:52Speaker 1: but there's some reason now why the money's coming in
- 59:54Speaker 1: that way. Fifty four percent of tickets on Texas, sixty
- 59:57Speaker 1: five percent of the cash on the as. Texas down
- 59:59Speaker 1: for MI ready to minus one twenty six on the
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: money line. Yeah, so the money is coming in on
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: the a's there. I won't have my money on it.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: I won't recommend it as a play, but it's it's
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: interesting to say the least. Let's go to my plays here, man.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: First one up is gonna be the Toronto Blue Jays
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: minus a half run on the run line in the
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: first five innings only, And that's only because I don't
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: like the bullpen scenario here. Their bullpen got a little
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: bit trash yesterday and they used five relief pitchers yesterday
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: out of the like seven they have on the roster
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: right now. So I'm worried about the Toronto bullpen in
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: this game. I Milwaukee used less of their bullpen. Yes
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: to their bullpen somewhat untrustworthy as well. They're actually the
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: worst bullpen on the season still, and Milwaukee lost on
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: Megil for a while to injury. He's their closer. But
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: we're gonna focus on just the starting pitching match appearent,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: and I do think Toronto's gonna come out early in
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: this game mad because they lost the last game. Both
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: these teams are gonna show up because they're both fighting
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: for playoff positioning. But this is situations more die or
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: for Toronto. I think they only have a three game
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: lead now in the Al East after losing yesterday. Yeah,
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: so the Yankees are right behind them. The Red Sox
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: are only three and a half behind them, So Toronto
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: does need to show up here. Quinn Priester, I know
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: it's hard to go against this trend man where Milwaukee's
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: won fifteen games in a row where he's appeared. Most
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: of them have been starts for him, and he was
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: a follower and a couple of them. I know it's crazy,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: but Priester, even though his numbers are good on the season,
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: three point four to four ERA, one point two to
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: six WHIP is a little high. He's good, but I
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: don't think he's as good as his RARA looks as
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: ERA this month is up to four point twenty nine.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: I mean it's four point two nine this month and
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: a fifteen to nine strike a walk ratio is not
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: a good sign. He's only gone five and a third
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: or less in his last three outings, even though they
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: continue to win his outings. I had five walks in
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: his most recent outing against the Cubs, so there's a
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: lot of stuff that should worry you about the way
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: Priester is pitching right now, and I think this might
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: be where his streak comes to end. But we don't
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: even need that to be the case. We can have
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: Milwaukee late game heroics again and it won't matter as
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: long as Toronto's winning after the first five and this
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: one we'll still get it. Priests numbers against the Blue Jays.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: They only have eighteen at bats against him, but most
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: of their lineup has faced him before, and they have
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: a three point thirty three average and eighty nine ops
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: offen with a him Menez home run as well in
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: the mix there, so they've been able to hit him decently. Again,
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: he's not really in great form. We're gonna trust Kevin
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Gaussman here for the Blue Jays, who's the more established starter.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: He's having a pretty good season three point eight seven ERA,
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: one point seven whip, although he doesn't get a lot
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: of run support because his win loss record is below
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: five hundred. Despite pitching pretty well, he's a little bit
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: worse at home four point ninety IRA, which may be
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: a little bit worrisome, which, by the way, Priester I
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: forgot to mention Priest is actually a little bit better
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: on the road three point one eight ERA, So we
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: are fading some slight splits there, but they're not crazy splits.
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: We're looking at how well these pitchers have done recently.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: And even though Priester has been uh, you know, his
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: team's been winning all his starts, uh, Toronto's been losing
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: all Goussman starts. But Goussman's been pitching better than preestern
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: Gousman this month. Four point zero sixty RA isn't great,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: but he has a He has way better command this
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: month than preestar twenty seven to six strike out walk ratio,
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: So Priester walked almost as many guys in his last
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: outing as Gusman has all month. Uh. Goussman in his
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: last four starts, he's left four fewer and runs and
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: all of them he's gone more six or more innings
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: in every start, going all the way back into late July,
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: where he actually had two good starts at the end
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: of July too. So he is pitching pretty well. We're
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: gonna trust him. And his numbers against Milwaukee are good.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: In thirty eight at bats, it's not a huge sample,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: but fifteen to three strike out walk ratio one eighty four,
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: batting average allown in five thirty three h ps, so
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: Goussman good career numbers against Milwaukee, even though they do
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: have a good offense. Toronto's offense is pretty good as well,
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: even though Milwaukee is a little bit better on the road.
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: Vaughn does have a home run offen. But I'm not
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: even actually sure which team would give the offensive edge.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: To be honest, Toronto is actually third in ops, so
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: you give them the offensive edge. Even though Milwaukee is
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: a little bit better on the road, their offense is
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: a little bit worse than that. So we are going
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: with Toronto first five innings run line in that one.
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: We will also go I mean, this one looks really
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: really crazy, but we're gonna go with the Atlanta Braves
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: on the money line full game in this one plus
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: one twenty five. I think we have the better bullpen
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: with Atlanta here, man, I mean, Philly's bullpen is not
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: very good. They're down here at twenty third in bullpen, right,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: Atlanta not that much better but slightly better. But then
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: we look at the bullpen, you saige, Yesterday Philly used
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: four relief pitchers yesterday and Atlanta only used one or
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: two I think, yeah too, so Atlanta's and they didn't
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: use any of the day before that, So Atlanta has
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: a much much more rested bullpen, and they used one
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: guy the day before that, so Atlanta was actually off
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: one of those days where Philly was playing, So we
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: got a more rested bullpen for Atlanta here. That's actually
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: the better bullpen over Philadelphia. Yes, Philadelphia has the better offense.
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: Philadelphia did win two to one yesterday. But Philadelphia, I mean,
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: they're not on the version of a sweep yet because
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: I think the series will continue tomorrow. But they beat
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: Atlanta nineteen to four and then two to one. I
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: think Atlanta will show up to try to spoil the
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: party for once. Man. Philadelphia'll probably feeling pretty good about
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: themselves right now. They got a five game lead here. Yes,
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: they do need to continue winning to make sure they
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: make the playoffs and whatever, and they want to win
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: the division. But Atlanta's still gonna show up with some
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: fire here man. And what we have in the starting
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: pitching matchup, Yes, it's a good starting pitching matchup. So
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: when I looked at this, I was like, ohing under
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: is probably gonna make sense here. But because of the
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: bullpen scenario, and because I think the starting pitching is
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: gonna be close and it's gonna be a duel, I
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: think it makes sense to grab the underdog here. We're
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: going with Chris Sale for Atlanta. Baby. He's coming back
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: from injury. He was having a good season again before
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: he got hurt. He was on his way to potentially
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: being in the Cy Young conversation again to point five
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: two ERA one point one to six whip. He was pitching. Well,
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: I know some guys are gonna be worried about playing
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: a guy that's returning from the injured list, But Chris
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: Sale is a veteran man. And as I continue to say,
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: when a guy is a veteran like this and he's
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: completely used to doing rehab stuff and coming back from
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: injuring whatever, he's been doing it for his entire career, man,
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: So he is so used to this, I think he's
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: gonna be pumped to just get back out there and
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: pitch against a good team. So I think you're gonna
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: get a good start out of him, and he probably
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: is gonna be extra pumped because he gets to duel
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: a really good pitcher. So I like it. I think
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: Sale will be back and forth. And I did look
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: at his minor league numbers and I think they were decent.
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: I mean, I think he had like an ERA in
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: the twos. I think in like a one point two
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: whip in his rehab or whatever in triple A. So
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: he was fine. So I'm expecting him to be ready
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: to go here. Man, he's a little bit worse on
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: the road two point seven to seven e RA. Still
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: very good, obviously, And before he went down, I mean
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: he was just dominating. He was in complete form. Before
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: he went down. He allowed one or zero earned runs
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: and six straight starts had allowed one or two, one,
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: two or zero in runs going all the way back
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: into April before he went down in late June, so
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: he was totally an ace. And his numbers against Philly,
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: even though they have a good offense and they're familiar
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: with him, he does well against them, two and one
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen at bats, forty eight to six strike
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: a walk ratio, nice, very nice ratio, two thirty seven average,
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: allowed six to fifty six to oh ps. So Sale
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: holds them down. Man, he's a fire Sale. We're gonna
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: be a fading Christopher Sanchez here, though, Man, I get it,
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: it looks difficult to do that. I understand that the
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: under does make sense at least in the first five
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: innings of this game too, because Sanchez is having a
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: really good season for Philly two point six six ERA,
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: one point one to three WHIP and now the burden
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: is really on him now that Zach Wheeler is gone
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: for the season, which is really gonna hurt the Phillies rotation.
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: So maybe the pressure is gonna mount on Sanchez, man,
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: because this is the first season that he's actually had
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: to be like his team's ace, because usually it is Wheeler.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: So I don't know if the pressure is gonna mount
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: on him a little bit. Yes, he is better at
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: home two point three eighty RA. He's been good this
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: month three point one to three ERA and thirty four
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: to eight strike a walk ratio. However, his last outing
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: wasn't good against the Mets. He gave up six orred
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: runs in five and a third three walks for strikeouts,
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: so he's had multiple walks in his last two outings.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: Does that mean that he's sliding out of form a
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: little bit? I don't think I would necessarily say that
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: because he's good enough that you'd think he would bounce back.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: But his numbers against Atlanta are actually not very good.
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: In seventy five career bats, nineteen to four strike a
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: walk ratio is good, but they have a three twenty
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: average against him, eight thirty four. Oh ps Olsten has
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: to him runs off him, and a Kunya is a
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: home run off him, and he is back. So Akunya
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: should be in the lineup tonight as well. So or today? Wait,
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: this is no, no, this is a night you know,
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: it's like this is after noon game. No, the only
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: after noon game haves the Milwaukee Toronto one. Uh. Yeah,
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: So I like the Brave here, man, I'm looking at
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: the market read here with the Braves eighty four percent
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: of tickets and cash on Philly, and they've dropped for
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: minus one forty two to minus one thirty eight. So
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: it seems like the the market read is on uh Atlanta.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: Here the money coming in. The money's coming in on
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: the under as well. It's on seven and a half
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: juice to the under fifty seven percent of tickets on
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: the over eighty two percent of the cash in the under. U.
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: I wouldn't disagree with it. Uh but again, Sanchez's matchup
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: numbers are batting itinst Atlanta, which leads me to want
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: to actually grab Atlanta on the money line dog price instead,
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: plus with the bullpen rest advantage there if you go
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: under probably under first five innings, because I don't know
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: if their Philly bullpen is really totally trustworthy there or
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: either bullpen necessarily really uh so I could see that,
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: but you have to go under about three and a
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: half in the first five, which is a little bit
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: more difficult to do. By the way, I forgot to
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: mention Toronto looks like they are an anti public home
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: favorite as well in that game, So that's a good
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: market indicator there. Two on that game, seventy to nine
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: percent of tickets, only sixty two percent of the cash,
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: and they're down to minus one thirty nine. They're on
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: the money line. So that's a good sign there for Toronto.
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: We got to get through this man. Next up, we're
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: gonna go under in the first five innings under the
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: four and a half Cardinals reds. It's at minus one
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: twenty out there. I know it's a bit of a
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: price to lay on this one, but I think the
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: starting pitching should be good here. The money's coming in
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: that way, it looks like as the total did flip
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: to eight and a half juice to the under, even
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: though you have fifty three percent of tickets and fifty
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: seven percent of the cash on the over for the
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: full game. And I do understand that we're looking at
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: a hitter friendly ballpark here. Saint Louis does have the
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: better bullpen here. Their bullpen rest is bad, though, which
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: is why I want to exclude the bullpens, because they
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: used almost all their relievers yesterday. Cincinnati's bullpen is very,
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: very rested here. So the Cincinnati side also makes some
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: sense in this game to me. Cincinnati, I mean, they've
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: been playing some bad baseball too, and they're still in
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: the hunt, but they've fallen off. Man. They if they
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: want to try to make a wild card, this is bad.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: They've lost four games in a row, including yesterday and
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: home to Saint Lewis, but they were coming out a
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: big series against the Dodgers, so Cincinnati does need to
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: write the ship. It does make sense to look towards
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: Cincinnati here as well, but I think the under first
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: five makes more sense in this one. And Saint Louis
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: you know, they don't really have a whole lot to
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: play for other than spoiling it for Cincinnati. But I mean,
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: who's Cincinnati really for Saint Louis. But the starting pitching
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: is what I'm looking at. Cincinnati. By the way, they
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: do have the better offense as well, so that's another
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: advantage to Cincinnati in this game. Even though Saint Louis
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: has the better bullpen, the bullpen rest scenario kind of
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: throws that out the window. But starting pitching Michael McGreevey
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: four point four to three ERA, one point one to
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: nine WHIP for Saint Louis. He is way better on
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: the road though, the three ERRA on the road, and
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: he's been in better form this month with a three
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: point ninety RRA and twenty one to four strike a
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: walk ratio along four fewer earned runs in every outing.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: Saint Louis has won four of his five outings and
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: he's gone six innings in every single one of them,
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: so he's actually in better form right now. And the
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: Reds have never faced McGreevy before, so I think that
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: might be a spot where McGreevy will come out and
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: pitch well enough to get us a low total here
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: early in the game, so I like that aspect of it.
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: And he's going up against Andrew Abbott for Cincinnati has
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: been really good this season, two point six two ERA,
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: one point one whip, having an ace like season. Man,
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: he's been even better at home, even though it's a
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: hitter friendly park. He's got a two point oh one
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: ERA at home. Yes, he had a bit of a
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: struggle last time out against Arizona, gave up six n
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: runs and four innings. It was on the road, though,
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: and he still had six strikeouts no walks. He hasn't
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: walked anybody since his start on August sixth, so three
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: straight starts with no walks at all. So he's still
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: in good form, even though it four point six to
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: two ERA looks bad this month. His other start, he
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: gave up some runs at Wrigley Field, but those are
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: good offenses. Man Saint Louis is not as prolific of
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: an offense as either of those, and he's back at
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: home here. He has a twenty two to two strikeout
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: walk ratio this month still, so that's fine. And even
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: though yes, his inning ramping up, he threw more innings
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: in this last year, so he's still not really at
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: the edge there yet. I mean, maybe after this start
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: you might be looking towards Abbot, maybe wearing down a
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: little bit, but he hasn't reached that point quite yet,
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: I don't think. And against Saint Louis he's pretty much dominated, well,
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: not dominated because his walk numbers aren't good, but fifty
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: eight at bats one seventy two average, allowed five sixty
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: six ohps in a twelve to eight strike a walk ratio.
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: So he's been good against Saint Louis in his career.
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: So we are going to go under in the first
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: five and that one, hopefully it gets there even though
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: we're paying more. Richmond is a plus two forty under.
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: I'm not looking at any of those FCS teams really, man,
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: except for celt Dakota. Yeah, the Braves are going on
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: a scaloping mission. Who's Richmond even playing, man, I mean,
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: I just don't even bother paying any attention to it,
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: even though there might be some value there. My final
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: play is going to be another first five under four
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: and a half. You get a better price on this one,
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: and it's Yankees White Sox, and that's probably because the
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: Yankees are the Yankees, and we know they can hit.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: So the Yankees obviously have a good offense, but the
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: White Sox do not. And I think the starting pitching
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: is gonna get us to this under man, we won't
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: trust the bullpen's although the Yankees are a little bit
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: more of a rested bullpen here, the White Sox less
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: rest The White Sox bullpen is actually worse than the Yankees.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: But neither bullpen is that good. So we're just gonna
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: go first five innings here. We're gonna look at the
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: starting pitching matchup, but it's between two rookies who I
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: think are under the raidar. They're both from Massachusetts too,
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: so Cam Schlittler, the trader going for the Yankees here.
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: Two point seven six ERA, one point three whip on
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: the season. I know his whip is a little bit high,
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: but he's been good on the road two point one
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: six ERA on the road, and this month he's starting
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: to pitch better with a one point six three ERA
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: thirty one to ten strike a walk ratio high strikeout rate.
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: It's still too many walks, but I mean, I think
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: he can get that under control a little bit. He
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: hasn't allowed to run in his last two outings he's
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: allowed one, two or fewer in runs, and all of
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: his out this entire month. For his entire career, which
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: is just this year, he's allowed three or fewer earn
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: runs in every outing. He's getting better. The White Sox
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: are gonna be an easy draw for him too. In
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: the White Sox not only are their terrible offense, but
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: they've never seen Schlitler before, so he's in good form.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: He should pitch well against this bad lineup. They're unfamiliar
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: with them, so that should be a way to go.
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: Shane Smith is pitching for the White Sox here three
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: point eight seven e RA one point two to three WHIP.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: His numbers are pretty good in his young career as well,
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: also in Massachusetts. Guy, I'll give him a pass for
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: pitching for a Chicago team though he is not a trader,
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: and he has better splits as well. He has a
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: three point three to one ERA at home, so that's
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: a good sign. And he had a good start to
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: the season. He hit a bit of a lull kind
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: of around when he was about to pitch in the
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: All Star Game, and then this month he's actually been
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: better again with a two point six to three e ra. Yes,
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: his walk rate is too high, just like Schlitzler twenty
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: four strikeouts, eleven walks. He's got to get that walk
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: number down. But he's allowed more than four, more than two,
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: and runs only once this entire month, which is a
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: four run outing against Atlanta. He might be wearing down
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: a little bit because he is a rookie, but we
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: only need him to get us through the first five
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: innings basically in this one, so hopefully he can do that.
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: The Yankees have never seen it before except except McMahon
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: is zero for one with a walk against him. So
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: we have two completely unfamiliar starting pitchers here too that
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: are both pretty solid rookies. So this it looks like
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: a first five under to me. Man money coming in
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: in the under total went down from nine to eight
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: and a half. Well though it was never really a nine.
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: It was nine. Juice to the under would have been
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: maybe better. Well that's for the full game, though, so
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: I think the whole way you could get the four
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: and a half on the first five anyway, seventy eight
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: percent tickets on the over, sixty six percent of the
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: cash on the under, So we were going first five
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: inning under in that one Lee High. I have no
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: clue what's going on in that game. Man. It sounds
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: like a basketball game to me. I don't know what
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: goes on in the FCS. So that's gonna do it. Man,
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: once again, all my plays to a college football. Texas
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: plus the three, even though I know you have to Yeah,
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: you can't get the good number anymore on that South
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: Dakota plus sixteen, Clemson minus three and a half or
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: I think minus four. You have to do now and
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: then tomorrow. Miami plus three Miami Florida Baseball. We got
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jay's first five innings run line minus a
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: half run, Atlanta Braves full game money line plus one
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: twenty five, Saint Louis, and Cincinnati under the total in
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: the first five innings under the four and a half
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: at a little bit of extra juice though, and also
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: under the four and a half at a better price,
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: Yankees White Sox. So those are the best, Sorry, best bets.
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: I forgot to say the best bets man. And I
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: also have a new breakdown video too. I was gonna
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: say that's that's the breakdown, a new breakdown image there.
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: So I gotta I gotta remember to use my images. Man.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: But before I get out of here, let's just double
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: check the college football. If you want to see my
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: analysis for those games, please go. I'll watch my video
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: from last night Texas. You can actually get it plus
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: one and a half right now. They do have the
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: money still coming in on them, seventy percent of tickets,
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: seventy six percent of the cash, So that one is
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: still looking decent for me, even though the public is
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: also there. Iowa States down to fifteen now, I still
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: pretty much like it, and anything higher than fourteen and
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: a half or higher the two touchdown threshold, it just
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: looks too easy to take Iowa State, even though we
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: do see some of the money coming in on them,
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: sixty one percent taket sixty four percent of the cash.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: I just think it's a terrible spot for Iowa State,
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: one of the worst spots that exists this week, to
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: be honest. And then we got a Clemson O. They're
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: up to four. The money has come in on them,
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: so I know we're seemingly kind of on like a somewhat,
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: we're seemingly on public sides, and we're going against a
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: cash percentage in some of these But I think it's
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: just the way that it is. Man. The money is
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: coming on Clemson sixty one percent ticket sixty six percent
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: of the cash coming in on them, and then we
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: do have Miami is tomorrow, so I don't really need
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: to be labor that. But they're an anti public home underdog,
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: which you know, I do like to jump on those,
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: especially in spot like games. Sixty three percent ticket's only
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: fifty three percent of the cash on Notre Dame. There,
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for me, man. Learn to toad
