- 0:09Speaker 1: All system's going clear.
- 0:11Speaker 2: We left.
- 0:40Speaker 1: What is going on?
- 0:41Speaker 3: Ship it Nation YouTube station back with my guy Bellman,
- 0:46Speaker 3: as we are each and every Monday. We got a
- 0:49Speaker 3: nice eight game slate on DraftKings here tonight. Massive contests
- 0:54Speaker 3: across the industry, definitely on DraftKings obviously, as baseball is
- 1:00Speaker 3: the forefront now with Stanley Cup Finals, the Canes getting
- 1:03Speaker 3: the job done and Jalen Brunson getting the job done
- 1:06Speaker 3: for the Knicks is well there, absolutely incredible game there.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Talk about a choke by the Spurs that whole series,
- 1:12Speaker 3: but hey, Spurs will be back their their core and
- 1:15Speaker 3: Nucleus is obviously very young there with Wemby and uh
- 1:19Speaker 3: Harper and uh Vasell or who's the who's the other one?
- 1:22Speaker 1: I forget.
- 1:23Speaker 3: I know, I'm not an NBA Yeah Castle, I know,
- 1:26Speaker 3: I'm not an NBA wizard, but I dabble a little
- 1:28Speaker 3: bit here and there. And obviously our team with your you,
- 1:32Speaker 3: Rio Ham, the rest of the crew little Neck absolutely
- 1:36Speaker 3: smashed it all season there. So congrats to the Knicks,
- 1:38Speaker 3: Congrats to the Carolina Hurricanes getting the job done. But hey,
- 1:42Speaker 3: we got we got summer baseball. We we're in the
- 1:44Speaker 3: heart of summer for baseball, not quite the same hard
- 1:50Speaker 3: of summer feel on today slate. In terms of weather
- 1:53Speaker 3: across the country, temperatures have kind of cooled down over
- 1:56Speaker 3: after the last two weeks has been literally, I mean
- 2:00Speaker 3: a ridiculous heat wave across the country all over the place.
- 2:03Speaker 3: We do have some really good weather spots again here
- 2:06Speaker 3: tonight with a Wrigley win game, if you will. It's
- 2:09Speaker 3: not like a massive, crazy win game, but any little
- 2:12Speaker 3: wind blown out in Wrigley, we know how much that
- 2:15Speaker 3: does affect it. Two nine totals, a ten and a
- 2:18Speaker 3: half total, I believe. So definitely some good offensive spots.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Pitching not great, feels pretty uh, kind of feels like
- 2:26Speaker 3: Swiss cheese here tonight, Matt. There's some on paper, some
- 2:30Speaker 3: solid guys that you can definitely see the holes right
- 2:33Speaker 3: through them in certain certain aspects too. And then obviously
- 2:36Speaker 3: we've got Chase Burns, who's been one of the best
- 2:39Speaker 3: right handed arms in all of baseball. He is eleven
- 2:42Speaker 3: k though, on a slate where we want to pay
- 2:43Speaker 3: out for some high priced bats, so we'll do our
- 2:46Speaker 3: best to navigate it. But I'll bring you in man,
- 2:48Speaker 3: how is your weekend? Love talking baseball with you here
- 2:51Speaker 3: tonight and especially now on these shows. Obviously we have
- 2:55Speaker 3: the US Open this week, but baseball is really the
- 2:57Speaker 3: heart of the focus, outside of maybe some NFL basketball
- 3:00Speaker 3: stuff here and there. M is still going on coming off
- 3:03Speaker 3: of obviously that two hundred and fifty the White House
- 3:06Speaker 3: card there get Chee or Gates, I think got the
- 3:10Speaker 3: job done. There is a as an underdog. So that
- 3:12Speaker 3: was pretty pretty cool to see there at the White House.
- 3:15Speaker 3: But yeah, fun fund slate ahead. How are we doing
- 3:18Speaker 3: on this Monday?
- 3:18Speaker 4: Man, good bro. Always happy to be on here with
- 3:21Speaker 4: you on Mondays talking some some ball we get at
- 3:26Speaker 4: these Monday night slates. I don't love the contest on
- 3:29Speaker 4: DK usually, but I usually like the slates and how
- 3:33Speaker 4: like the size of the slates, and tonight is no exception.
- 3:37Speaker 4: I like this slate quite a bit. Finally, no cores,
- 3:42Speaker 4: no Vegas. We do have wind blowing out in Wrigley
- 3:48Speaker 4: and we talked about it before. Still gaming Sacramento, but
- 3:53Speaker 4: we don't have those spots where like we saw yesterday
- 3:57Speaker 4: the Rockies scored twenty three runs. I know the Vegas
- 4:00Speaker 4: series let down a couple of games, but it was
- 4:03Speaker 4: really hard to avoid Luis, You've got some more normal
- 4:06Speaker 4: spots tonight, So excited to talk it out with you.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it it should be, should be fun. Yeah,
- 4:12Speaker 1: I mean under.
- 4:15Speaker 3: It. Disappointed on the two days that I went all in,
- 4:18Speaker 3: but it skills scored like fifteen runs or twelve runs
- 4:21Speaker 3: or some shit, which is on a normal baseball slate.
- 4:24Speaker 3: I mean, if you get twelve runs out of a
- 4:26Speaker 3: game like you don't. If you don't have it, you're
- 4:29Speaker 3: probably pretty much dot. It just so happened that Coors
- 4:32Speaker 3: Field was also hot as balls the same same kind
- 4:36Speaker 3: of week of the Vegas.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Ballpark, and then you had the Rockies in Vegas in
- 4:44Speaker 1: one hundred degree weather as well. Right.
- 4:45Speaker 3: So yeah, just kind of a whirlwind of tough decision
- 4:50Speaker 3: points last week, right, which doesn't seem to be the
- 4:54Speaker 3: case as much here, at least tonight's slate. Obviously, we'll
- 4:56Speaker 3: see how the slate shakes out out the week here.
- 5:00Speaker 3: But I do like this eight game slate here tonight. Yeah,
- 5:03Speaker 3: like you said, contest aren't the best on on Mondays.
- 5:06Speaker 3: There is some good ones, but I wish it was different, right.
- 5:10Speaker 3: I was hoping now with the NBA gone, NHL gone,
- 5:14Speaker 3: that they would kind of beef up the contest a
- 5:16Speaker 3: little bit in the MLB streets. But again US open
- 5:18Speaker 3: this week, so there's a lot of qualifiers and stuff
- 5:21Speaker 3: for the PGA streets that you can win here on
- 5:24Speaker 3: on the baseball street. So we'll do our best to
- 5:26Speaker 3: break it down. Eight games to talk about. We got
- 5:28Speaker 3: Shaloub here out of his tilt corner. Hopefully he finds
- 5:32Speaker 3: some better luck because this man's been ripping up the
- 5:34Speaker 3: discord left and right. Love my guy, Mike there, Philly
- 5:37Speaker 3: Fantom has had a hell of a baseball season.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Hopefully he keeps it rowing.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Or got Sean Sully's in here, Michael Peterson, Williams, his
- 5:44Speaker 3: nixt baby, Jalen Brunson baby dropped his sack on the
- 5:48Speaker 3: spurs in Wemby in that game there. But yeah, let's
- 5:53Speaker 3: let's go ahead and jump in. I got a slate
- 5:56Speaker 3: station here.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Up, Matt.
- 5:58Speaker 3: I can't say enough about hold on, let me go
- 6:01Speaker 3: ahead and flip this well, technical difficulties here there Now
- 6:05Speaker 3: you can see our beautiful mugs and the beautiful content
- 6:08Speaker 3: up on the screen here. Can't say enough about the
- 6:10Speaker 3: slate station. This is literally a one stop shot between
- 6:14Speaker 3: this and our stone which will showcase when we jump
- 6:17Speaker 3: over and talk hitting. But really, I mean gives you
- 6:20Speaker 3: everything you need to know about the slate really at hand.
- 6:24Speaker 3: You can literally start down here on the slate breakdown,
- 6:28Speaker 3: get a good synopsis of what the slate is at hand,
- 6:31Speaker 3: gives you a nice little build plan, gives you some
- 6:33Speaker 3: talks on pitching and stacks and hitters and really just
- 6:36Speaker 3: kind of the slate perspective as a whole, and talks
- 6:39Speaker 3: about implied runs, right, which aren't the end all be
- 6:42Speaker 3: all matt in baseball, but it gives you a good
- 6:45Speaker 3: kind of lends into hey, who are the teams apply
- 6:48Speaker 3: for the most runs?
- 6:49Speaker 1: That's what projections drive off of.
- 6:51Speaker 3: And then you can kind of look in and we
- 6:53Speaker 3: can you and I can throw our I know ball
- 6:55Speaker 3: take onto it, right and or at least we think
- 6:59Speaker 3: we know.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Ball take Yeah, dive in there.
- 7:03Speaker 3: But really amazing, amazing tool that the team had created here,
- 7:08Speaker 3: very easy. You use a friendly you can click it
- 7:10Speaker 3: sort by Okay, who are the home run targets on
- 7:12Speaker 3: this slate?
- 7:13Speaker 1: We have eighteen of them.
- 7:14Speaker 3: With this home run tag you can click there who
- 7:16Speaker 3: are the hot bats? Who are the hot hitters? Well,
- 7:18Speaker 3: there's twelve of them. There you can see that who
- 7:21Speaker 3: are the who's the best stacks?
- 7:23Speaker 1: Right?
- 7:23Speaker 3: Well, now you can see all the stack hitters. It's really,
- 7:26Speaker 3: i mean, super user friendly and absolutely amazing. I talk
- 7:28Speaker 3: about it all the time. You can click on Freddie
- 7:31Speaker 3: Freeman here, look at his last ten Okay, little synopsis here,
- 7:34Speaker 3: he's projected to be low ow tonight. He's a good
- 7:36Speaker 3: home run target, averaging eight Fantasy points per game over
- 7:40Speaker 3: the last five so on. So obviously very very good tool.
- 7:43Speaker 3: But we're gonna use this now to talk about pitching
- 7:46Speaker 3: going forward here just to showcase some of these tools
- 7:49Speaker 3: off to someone out there who maybe isn't a ship
- 7:51Speaker 3: Nation subscriber, right and is looking for a place to
- 7:55Speaker 3: simplify their research process, right. And this, the data behind
- 8:00Speaker 3: the scenes has won people millions of dollars at ship
- 8:03Speaker 3: Nation over the last three years, and that's really what
- 8:05Speaker 3: formulates this. And it changes live time as lineups get adjusted,
- 8:09Speaker 3: projections update, people get scratched, things like that. It either
- 8:13Speaker 3: it'll update these picture rankings, hit a ranking stack ering
- 8:15Speaker 3: because everything gets fully updated here. But when we talk
- 8:18Speaker 3: pitching and we go eight, let's actually just do let's
- 8:22Speaker 3: go ahead and let me add all the pictures here
- 8:24Speaker 3: and we'll go, should we. Let's let's do seventy five
- 8:30Speaker 3: hundred and above because pitching here tonight is pretty weak
- 8:34Speaker 3: and we don't have a really quote unquote loaded top tier,
- 8:37Speaker 3: if you will, so let's go seventy five and above.
- 8:40Speaker 3: We got Troy Melton for Detroit facing the Astros there
- 8:44Speaker 3: all the way up to Chase Burns.
- 8:46Speaker 1: JT. Ginn has shown flashes upside.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Obviously not the best spot for him the ballpark, the weather,
- 8:52Speaker 3: but also he struggles big time against lefties, and the
- 8:55Speaker 3: Pirates are gonna probably throw six or seven lefties against
- 8:59Speaker 3: him here tonight, so don't really think he's playable. But
- 9:02Speaker 3: McKenzie Gore gonna be one of the high Stone pitchers,
- 9:05Speaker 3: if not the high Stone pitcher on the slate. He's
- 9:07Speaker 3: seventy eight hundred, gets a pretty favorable matchup against the
- 9:10Speaker 3: Twins there, which a lot of their scarier hitters do
- 9:14Speaker 3: hit from the left side. But the emergence of Royce
- 9:16Speaker 3: Lewis coming back into that lineup Byron Buckston's been amazing.
- 9:19Speaker 3: There's definitely clear downside risk to him and the ownership
- 9:22Speaker 3: for mackenzie Gore showed it in Monaga in that win
- 9:25Speaker 3: game there in Wrigley gets the Rockies though, coming out
- 9:30Speaker 3: of that Vegas Heat heat game there and then obviously
- 9:33Speaker 3: coming out of Coors Field there, so probably is gonna
- 9:36Speaker 3: feel like somewhat of a park downgrade for the Rockies
- 9:39Speaker 3: coming into to Wrigley. It's not like the wind is
- 9:41Speaker 3: howling out there. He's gonna be pretty popular as well.
- 9:43Speaker 3: And then Chase Burns all way up at eleven K flat,
- 9:47Speaker 3: He's going to be.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Popular as well.
- 9:49Speaker 3: So it's probably a three headed race between Gore and
- 9:52Speaker 3: Minaga Chase Burns up at top. We do have some
- 9:54Speaker 3: two value guys that we'll talk about here when we
- 9:56Speaker 3: do talk about the lower tier that are pretty good plays.
- 10:00Speaker 3: I'm definitely gonna get ownership as well. But how do
- 10:02Speaker 3: you see this top tier Chase Burns? Are you prioritizing him?
- 10:07Speaker 3: Is he it must play? Eleven k does feel expensive
- 10:09Speaker 3: when we do have high priced bats that we do
- 10:12Speaker 3: want to get in, but go ahead and break them
- 10:13Speaker 3: down for me.
- 10:15Speaker 4: I don't think he's a must play, but I do
- 10:17Speaker 4: think it's definitely like Chase Burns and then everyone else
- 10:20Speaker 4: as far as projections go, talent goes everything. He's expensive,
- 10:27Speaker 4: but he definitely is deserving of being the most expensive
- 10:30Speaker 4: pitcher on the slate. I don't think that's in question,
- 10:33Speaker 4: just a matter of whether you can afford that eleven
- 10:35Speaker 4: K tag. Again, I don't think you have to. I
- 10:40Speaker 4: do think that there are ways to play him, though,
- 10:43Speaker 4: Like on a bunch of these slates, with Vegas games
- 10:46Speaker 4: and the Corps games, with such good spots, you've like
- 10:50Speaker 4: absolutely had to prioritize the bats at least going in tonight,
- 10:54Speaker 4: we've got win blowing out in Wrigley and Sacramento. But
- 10:59Speaker 4: you make the argument that Burns is the best play
- 11:02Speaker 4: on the slate. I wouldn't argue with you if you
- 11:04Speaker 4: said that, just how good he's been even with that
- 11:08Speaker 4: price tag, with enough cheap bats to make it work.
- 11:11Speaker 4: So for me, it's him and everyone else. I like
- 11:14Speaker 4: him and Agi here seems to have righted the ship
- 11:18Speaker 4: last time out. Hate that it's the same matchup, but
- 11:22Speaker 4: he seems like a good bet for a bunch of
- 11:24Speaker 4: strikeouts with nothing else here. Obviously you have the win
- 11:27Speaker 4: to counter, but you know on the Cub side, at
- 11:31Speaker 4: least at least these guys are used to the to
- 11:33Speaker 4: the weather here, and he's pitched in plenty of win
- 11:35Speaker 4: game before Mackenzie Gore. I just I don't know of
- 11:41Speaker 4: the guys getting ownership, he's the one I don't understand
- 11:44Speaker 4: the most. Considering, you know, I get it he's in
- 11:47Speaker 4: a good matchup and the tag is lower than it's been,
- 11:50Speaker 4: but he's Samwichertein two guys I like more in Shoda
- 11:54Speaker 4: and Dustin May. So I'm probably out on Gore, although
- 11:58Speaker 4: I get it he's cheaper than he's been, even though
- 12:02Speaker 4: I'm in on the Royce Lewis resurgence. I like the
- 12:05Speaker 4: Twins lineup more than most. Still not like a lineup
- 12:09Speaker 4: you're scared of, so I understand it. I just think
- 12:13Speaker 4: he's projected to for too much ownership, I guess is
- 12:15Speaker 4: the best way to put it. After that, I think
- 12:18Speaker 4: you could look at like a Walbert Urina. I like
- 12:22Speaker 4: the diamondback stack against him, but he's been good, so
- 12:25Speaker 4: got to recognize that we don't have a ton of
- 12:28Speaker 4: options tonight. So I don't like hate him. You mentioned JT. Gin,
- 12:33Speaker 4: you mentioned all the reasons not to like him, and
- 12:36Speaker 4: I'm with you. Can't feel confident in him in this
- 12:38Speaker 4: ballpark against the lineup that will have a bunch of lefties.
- 12:42Speaker 4: But he's good. He's not gonna get ownership in this
- 12:47Speaker 4: price range where other guys you know are Pittsburgh's gonna
- 12:52Speaker 4: get ownership against him. So I don't hate the JT
- 12:55Speaker 4: Ginn play in tournaments. Other than that, you know, for me,
- 13:00Speaker 4: we'll get to him. Obviously, Dustin May is right below
- 13:02Speaker 4: this range. I think he's wildly in play. But as
- 13:06Speaker 4: far as the top end guys go, it's Burns in
- 13:09Speaker 4: Managa and then like in tournaments, mixing in the Wallaby
- 13:13Speaker 4: arenas JT Ginns. You know, not that I wouldn't play
- 13:18Speaker 4: McKenzie Gore. I just think he's projected for too much ownership.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Yeah no, I I pretty I see a pretty oyd
- 13:26Speaker 3: to eye. Chase Burns is gonna be a priority for me,
- 13:30Speaker 3: just because I think most people look at eleven K
- 13:32Speaker 3: and then they see Imanaga at eight five, and then
- 13:34Speaker 3: you got either mackenzie Gore or Dustin May. Right, it
- 13:37Speaker 3: feels very comfortable just to build teams with start with
- 13:40Speaker 3: him Minaga as your highest priced guy, with that projection
- 13:43Speaker 3: off the charts, getting the Rockies. I know, the wind
- 13:46Speaker 3: in this and that, but it's not like a massive
- 13:47Speaker 3: win game where you see a fourteen total or something
- 13:50Speaker 3: in this game has been good. He just saw this
- 13:53Speaker 3: matchup posted a good score in course field. Now he's
- 13:56Speaker 3: back home. So so I do feel like a lot
- 14:01Speaker 3: of people are gonna kind of see it, and that's
- 14:02Speaker 3: gonna hold Chase Burns ownership in check.
- 14:05Speaker 1: And do you kind of see that right now? Projection
- 14:07Speaker 1: he's gonna get played.
- 14:07Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say he's unowned, but he's gonna be
- 14:10Speaker 3: lower owned than he would be on a different slate
- 14:13Speaker 3: if we didn't have in Monaga, who feels underpriced, if
- 14:15Speaker 3: we didn't have McKenzie Gore in this matchup, who feels
- 14:18Speaker 3: underpriced for his potential ceiling and upside that he can display. Now,
- 14:22Speaker 3: the thing about McKenzie Gore, for me, he's a boom
- 14:25Speaker 3: bust guy anytime you play him, So you have to
- 14:29Speaker 3: know that going in. I love to play McKenzie Gore
- 14:31Speaker 3: when he's unowned because I know he always has that
- 14:34Speaker 3: ceiling in him. He has the downside in him, regardless
- 14:37Speaker 3: of what ownership he's anytime he's on the slate. Right,
- 14:41Speaker 3: so when people are playing him at a high clip
- 14:44Speaker 3: like they are gonna tire tonight.
- 14:46Speaker 1: That's the time that.
- 14:47Speaker 3: I like to sell on a guy like McKenzie Gore,
- 14:49Speaker 3: who's very one of the more volatile arms in the league.
- 14:52Speaker 3: I get his price point seventy eight hundred, but it's
- 14:54Speaker 3: not like we're star for value. I mean, we got
- 14:56Speaker 3: Dustin may who's gonna be right now. At least we
- 14:58Speaker 3: have him projected lower own than McKenzie Gore. I don't
- 15:01Speaker 3: know if that holds true coming up the lock, but
- 15:03Speaker 3: Dustin May is lower owned, and I can play Dustin
- 15:06Speaker 3: may Or and play Chase Burns that way, right. So
- 15:11Speaker 3: McKenzie Gore is the guy I am selling on compared
- 15:14Speaker 3: to the ownership that I'm seeing on him.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Not gonna ful fade him by any means, but probably in.
- 15:19Speaker 3: My two main teams, I'm probably not gonna have any
- 15:21Speaker 3: McKenzie Gore, just because that's that's kind of the stand
- 15:24Speaker 3: I'm gonna take on a slate where it feels pretty
- 15:26Speaker 3: cut and dry, and we do have good offensive spots
- 15:30Speaker 3: that are gonna that everybody sees and everybody likes that.
- 15:32Speaker 3: I'm also gonna like, right, so I can't just play
- 15:34Speaker 3: the same place as everybody else. He's the guy that
- 15:37Speaker 3: I'm gonna be kind of under on. You look at
- 15:39Speaker 3: his outs props sixteen and a half juice to the under,
- 15:41Speaker 3: which is worse than guys like a Managa, worse than
- 15:45Speaker 3: guys like Dustin May. Obviously, Chase Burns reen Nelson has
- 15:49Speaker 3: a better out prop than him even as well. He's
- 15:53Speaker 3: right there in line with guys like Wilbert or Urina, right,
- 15:55Speaker 3: So for me, he's the guy I'm under on. Urina
- 15:59Speaker 3: would be the other guy you mentioned him briefly, d Box,
- 16:02Speaker 3: I think are going to be pretty popular as a stack.
- 16:05Speaker 3: I played this team all weekend and they ship on me.
- 16:08Speaker 3: It was very tilting when they were in the Great
- 16:09Speaker 3: American Small Park there. I do think they're a playable
- 16:15Speaker 3: stack here again tonight. Obviously, just because you got you
- 16:17Speaker 3: added the Angels bullpen there, I didn't look.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I'm assuming the roof is going to be closed here
- 16:22Speaker 1: in Arizona.
- 16:22Speaker 3: I gotta assume it's near one hundred degrees out there,
- 16:26Speaker 3: and it's not Vegas where they don't give a shit
- 16:28Speaker 3: about the player's health and safety there playing in that
- 16:31Speaker 3: Triple A park there. You should never play an outside
- 16:33Speaker 3: game in the heart of summer. In Vegas, but I'm
- 16:37Speaker 3: assuming the roof is probably gonna be closed in Arizona,
- 16:39Speaker 3: which does help the case there. He I just think
- 16:41Speaker 3: he I like his talent. He's he's talented, arm he
- 16:45Speaker 3: has upside. Nobody's gonna play him eighty three hundred. He's
- 16:49Speaker 3: he's sandwiched between chalk guys on the slate Imanaga for
- 16:52Speaker 3: two hundred dollars more or for a little bit cheaper, right,
- 16:57Speaker 3: five hundred dollars less, people are gonna play McKenzie Gore, right, So,
- 17:00Speaker 3: in that aspect in tournaments, not to say he's a
- 17:02Speaker 3: core piece, not to say he's probably a single entry
- 17:05Speaker 3: cash game three max type of play, but in tournaments,
- 17:09Speaker 3: in these larger field MM style tournaments on a shorter slate,
- 17:13Speaker 3: like an eight game slate, where it doesn't feel super
- 17:16Speaker 3: great from the pitching, and everybody's condensing around the same
- 17:19Speaker 3: guys who have probably equally as much volatility a guy
- 17:23Speaker 3: like mackenzie Gore does at least, And then I Minaga
- 17:25Speaker 3: is a fly ball pitcher in a regular win game, right,
- 17:28Speaker 3: So you can argue those guys have similar downside risks
- 17:31Speaker 3: to Urina, And you can say all you want about
- 17:34Speaker 3: talent this and that, the metrics stuff like that. I
- 17:37Speaker 3: just think Urina does have Wilbert, he has a ceiling
- 17:40Speaker 3: and nobody's gonna play him. I get eighty three hundred
- 17:43Speaker 3: doesn't feel comfortable, and it's the d backs, But that
- 17:46Speaker 3: back half of that d Backs lineup once you get
- 17:48Speaker 3: past that top four or five, and that's including Nolan
- 17:52Speaker 3: Arnado at the current state.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Obviously he's turned back the clock this year.
- 17:56Speaker 3: I just think he does have a ceiling because I
- 18:00Speaker 3: I don't think that back half of the lineup's that
- 18:01Speaker 3: great there for Arizona, it's gonna be one of the
- 18:04Speaker 3: most popular stacks on the slate as well, so I
- 18:06Speaker 3: do like that. But yeah, it's definitely Chase Burns is
- 18:08Speaker 3: a priority for me. Immanaga, I'm in on Yourena is
- 18:13Speaker 3: kind of how I rank it. I don't really like
- 18:14Speaker 3: McKenzie gore a lot. I think all the reasons why
- 18:18Speaker 3: people are playing them, it's mainly the projection. I mean,
- 18:20Speaker 3: he's projected seventeen point four almost at seventy eight hundred,
- 18:25Speaker 3: so naturally, I mean that's why he's getting slammed single
- 18:28Speaker 3: entry three max stuff.
- 18:29Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked to see McKenzie.
- 18:31Speaker 3: Gore at fifty sixty percent ownership just because projections drive
- 18:35Speaker 3: ownership in the industry seventy eight hundred facing the Twins
- 18:39Speaker 3: line up here, but actually like the Twins lineup more
- 18:43Speaker 3: than I probably should here.
- 18:45Speaker 1: I know it's a great place to pitch in Globe Life.
- 18:48Speaker 3: All that so for me, like I said a long
- 18:51Speaker 3: way saying, mackenzie Gore is the guy I'm selling on.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Love Chase Burns, Immanaga I'm in on, and then my
- 18:57Speaker 3: tournament flyer is going to be Warbert Urena down below there.
- 19:02Speaker 3: We do have really good options. Dustin May, I think
- 19:04Speaker 3: one of the better players in the slate. He's a
- 19:07Speaker 3: good arm. He finally figured it out right. Dodgers obviously
- 19:11Speaker 3: gave up on him. Cardinals have finally found something here.
- 19:14Speaker 3: The thing with Dustin May is if he has his control,
- 19:17Speaker 3: he has nasty stuff. If he falls behind hitters, that's
- 19:20Speaker 3: when he struggles. He has seem to get that under
- 19:24Speaker 3: control and now gets one of the better matchups for
- 19:27Speaker 3: right handed and pitching against the padres here. I mean,
- 19:30Speaker 3: I think Dustin May's an incredible play in the slate.
- 19:33Speaker 3: Props everything look great. Ownership, I do like that we
- 19:37Speaker 3: have a quote unquote under priced Mackenzie Gore that's gonna
- 19:40Speaker 3: pull ownership.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Away from Dustin May.
- 19:42Speaker 3: And then we also got Tang, who is seven K,
- 19:45Speaker 3: three hundred dollars last who's gonna pull ownership as well.
- 19:47Speaker 3: So for me, the lower tier's dust to May clearcut
- 19:50Speaker 3: in a tier of his own. He's one of my
- 19:52Speaker 3: favorite plays on the slate, even at ownership. Then I
- 19:54Speaker 3: probably actually I think Reeed Nelson's pretty interesting. I think
- 19:58Speaker 3: this guy's a pretty solid arm. He's sixty on the
- 20:00Speaker 3: opposite side of that Walbert Arena matchup, I think Nelson
- 20:07Speaker 3: all the way down at sixty five hundred makes some
- 20:09Speaker 3: sense as well. So for me, the lower tier it
- 20:11Speaker 3: goes Dustin May Nelson, and then Tang is kind of
- 20:15Speaker 3: the distant third guy.
- 20:17Speaker 1: I don't love playing a.
- 20:18Speaker 3: Guy who is wild at times into ownership like Tang
- 20:22Speaker 3: is who got I think he got obliterated last start
- 20:24Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, at at pretty high ownership. So
- 20:28Speaker 3: I see it kind of a clear cut rinse and
- 20:31Speaker 3: repeat from last Monday. A little better match up here. Obviously,
- 20:35Speaker 3: the Tigers have been woeful over the last month. They
- 20:38Speaker 3: broke us I think it was a Saturday slate or
- 20:40Speaker 3: a weekend slate. One day they went nuts and scored
- 20:43Speaker 3: like eighteen runs or whatever it was. Outside of that,
- 20:46Speaker 3: I mean pitchers streamline, the pictures against Detroit has been
- 20:50Speaker 3: pretty solid. I just I'd like Dustin May a lot more,
- 20:53Speaker 3: and I even like Nelson for cheaper more so he's
- 20:56Speaker 3: kind of the distant third.
- 20:57Speaker 1: But how do you see this lower tier?
- 20:59Speaker 4: Yeah, so we see this also pretty eye to eye.
- 21:04Speaker 4: I don't think I mind Tang as much as you do,
- 21:06Speaker 4: but I like May and I like Nelson more so.
- 21:10Speaker 4: May is just too cheap for how good he's pitched
- 21:14Speaker 4: all year, basically, especially for how well he's pitching right now.
- 21:18Speaker 4: Padres we know, have been very disappointing this season. They
- 21:23Speaker 4: seemingly have gotten a little bit better recently, so I
- 21:26Speaker 4: don't think it's as goold of a matchup as maybe
- 21:28Speaker 4: it was a couple of weeks ago, because we know
- 21:30Speaker 4: how baseball works. But the bottom half of this lineup
- 21:33Speaker 4: is still pretty atrocious, so hard to not at least
- 21:37Speaker 4: like May at seventy three hundred. Here, I'm also been
- 21:40Speaker 4: on Ryan Nelson sixty five hundred. Basically just the insert
- 21:44Speaker 4: pitcher against the Angels type of thing. They they strike
- 21:48Speaker 4: out a ton like. He has not been good this year.
- 21:51Speaker 4: So this is totally one where I could see if
- 21:54Speaker 4: someone liked an Angel stack low owned in tournaments. I
- 21:57Speaker 4: wouldn't mind that either. But sixty five hundred, I'm a slate.
- 22:02Speaker 4: As you mentioned their expensive bats we like. I think
- 22:05Speaker 4: he's definitely in play, and then Tang I don't like him,
- 22:10Speaker 4: but I don't dislike him. He's just a play for me.
- 22:12Speaker 4: If I were playing one fifty, i'd have exposure. I
- 22:14Speaker 4: doubt I personally play him. Other than that, I don't
- 22:19Speaker 4: think you're crazy to take a shot on Jared Jones
- 22:22Speaker 4: just because of the arm talent, but doesn't throw a
- 22:26Speaker 4: ton of pitches. Obviously tough ballpark, et cetera, et cetera,
- 22:30Speaker 4: So pretty small pitcher pool for me. Burns in Managa,
- 22:35Speaker 4: may Nelson, you know, and then obviously talked about some
- 22:40Speaker 4: other guys. I like Gore. I just think he's over owned,
- 22:43Speaker 4: and then you know some cheaper guys that I think
- 22:45Speaker 4: you can mix in.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Yeah, we see it very similar. It's it's for me.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Chase Burns is the priority. My favorite pairing would be
- 22:52Speaker 3: with Dustin May, then Nelson, and then Imanaga is also
- 22:58Speaker 3: in play for me. I think it is solid too,
- 23:01Speaker 3: so that those kind of five are the main guys
- 23:03Speaker 3: I'm selling on McKenzie Gore. I don't dislike him, but
- 23:07Speaker 3: at ownership I prefer the other guys, and that's an
- 23:10Speaker 3: easy pivot. Mackenzie Gore does rank the best for us,
- 23:13Speaker 3: as he's gonna rank the best for everybody.
- 23:16Speaker 1: But just know that going in.
- 23:17Speaker 3: When you play McKenzie Gore and you pair him up
- 23:19Speaker 3: with In Monaga and you go and play the Pirates bats, right, well,
- 23:25Speaker 3: now you have the same team as everyone else, So
- 23:27Speaker 3: make sure when you are doing that that you obviously
- 23:31Speaker 3: just know that going in. So if you're eating the
- 23:33Speaker 3: chalk pitching, we'll do a little something different on the
- 23:37Speaker 3: hitting side. Seems self explanatory. But if you're doing that,
- 23:42Speaker 3: just play cast games, play double up, something like that.
- 23:44Speaker 3: I'm trying to chase the big prize at the top
- 23:46Speaker 3: of the leaderboards and GPPs, so those are kind of
- 23:48Speaker 3: the five main guys I'm looking at. Urna would be
- 23:50Speaker 3: the kind of GPP sleeper, and then JT. Ginn I
- 23:53Speaker 3: don't think is the worst sleeper play either. At seventy
- 23:55Speaker 3: seven hundred direct pivot one hundred dollars less than McKenzie
- 23:58Speaker 3: gore four and a half k prop are gonna be
- 24:00Speaker 3: the highest on stack, and the slate again does have quality.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Obviously, he's gonna see seven lefties here.
- 24:06Speaker 3: Likely, but he's gonna pick up some strikeouts against those
- 24:10Speaker 3: righties where he does have a thirty k right So
- 24:14Speaker 3: he's definitely the distant guy in that ballpark. But I
- 24:18Speaker 3: won't be shocked to see a ceiling game out a
- 24:20Speaker 3: guy like JT. Gin and it wouldn't shock me. But
- 24:23Speaker 3: he's definitely wait on the list. I think we broke
- 24:26Speaker 3: down pitching pretty good, definitely. Obviously it's more condensed slate
- 24:31Speaker 3: in general from the pitching aspects. So let me go
- 24:34Speaker 3: ahead and refresh the stone here and share this game.
- 24:39Speaker 3: When we talk hitting, we're gonna go game by game.
- 24:41Speaker 3: First game on the slate, we are in great American
- 24:47Speaker 3: small park here again, the Mets coming to town, Chase
- 24:49Speaker 3: Burns making the start one of the best pitching options,
- 24:54Speaker 3: if not the best pitching option on the slate. The
- 24:56Speaker 3: only argument against him is the ballpark, but more so
- 24:59Speaker 3: the salary. If you can't get up to the eleven
- 25:01Speaker 3: K Mets have started to hit a little bit. Carson Ben,
- 25:04Speaker 3: Juan Soto, Jared Young, those three guys have been raking.
- 25:08Speaker 3: I just I don't think there is a spot to
- 25:10Speaker 3: target against Chase Burns when I'd rather pick on a
- 25:13Speaker 3: guy like McKenzie Gore, who's gonna be higher on than
- 25:15Speaker 3: a guy like Chase Burns. What do you see in
- 25:17Speaker 3: this one? Reds and the Mets. I do think the
- 25:19Speaker 3: Reds are fairly interesting. Here a great ballpark. Toby Myers,
- 25:23Speaker 3: I don't think is any good by any means. JJ
- 25:25Speaker 3: Blede has been amazing this year. You got still a
- 25:28Speaker 3: twenty one hundred dollars Edwin Arroyo, who has a lot
- 25:30Speaker 3: of pedigree, hasn't panned out yet in the majors, but
- 25:33Speaker 3: he's still twenty one hundred. That allows you to free
- 25:36Speaker 3: up some salary get up to a guy like Chase Burns.
- 25:38Speaker 3: What do you see you talk to me in this one?
- 25:41Speaker 4: I feel like if you're playing that big five dollars,
- 25:44Speaker 4: you know, I wouldn't be exing out the Mets on
- 25:47Speaker 4: this slate. But other than that, not interested in them
- 25:50Speaker 4: in the stuff I'm playing like. I like Burns a lot.
- 25:53Speaker 4: Even if I'm not playing Burns, I'm not stacking the Mets.
- 25:55Speaker 4: The Reds I think are like my right in the
- 25:58Speaker 4: mid range for me. I don't dislike them. There's just
- 26:01Speaker 4: other teams I like more. That lineup man without Ellie,
- 26:06Speaker 4: it's just tough to love.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Like.
- 26:09Speaker 4: They're in a fine matchup, but it's not a matchup
- 26:11Speaker 4: where I need to pick on against the Myers Peterson combo.
- 26:16Speaker 4: So we'll to be shocked if the Reds get there,
- 26:19Speaker 4: not at all. But playing like four five lineups tonight,
- 26:24Speaker 4: I'm just not sure I get there, you know what
- 26:26Speaker 4: I mean?
- 26:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel I feel the same.
- 26:29Speaker 3: It's more like one offs like a JJ Budet, who
- 26:33Speaker 3: is gonna be unknown compared to other guys in this
- 26:35Speaker 3: price here in kind of the higher game totals. Right
- 26:38Speaker 3: the Cubs, he's the same price as a guy like PCA,
- 26:44Speaker 3: gonna be a fraction of the ownership right for two
- 26:47Speaker 3: hundred dollars less. So little things like that right play
- 26:49Speaker 3: cub stack leave PCA out.
- 26:51Speaker 1: I know it feels girls.
- 26:52Speaker 3: PCA is hitting the ball right now, but JJ Boudet
- 26:55Speaker 3: has arguably just so much upside, if not more, right
- 26:58Speaker 3: at the current state, so things like that. I like Reds.
- 27:01Speaker 3: I don't love them as a full stack. They're kind
- 27:04Speaker 3: of in that mid tier. Like you said, I likes
- 27:06Speaker 3: other teams more, but I do think they do have
- 27:08Speaker 3: a spot on this slate. Toby Myers, I don't think
- 27:11Speaker 3: is very good. Mets bullpen is solid, but yeah, I
- 27:15Speaker 3: like the ballpark. I think the Reds have upside and
- 27:18Speaker 3: they're not really getting played, so all those things to
- 27:21Speaker 3: kind of check out. Yeah, I'm with you as well
- 27:23Speaker 3: on the Mets large field, five dollars stuff, Carson, Benje, Soto,
- 27:28Speaker 3: Young Ewing, something like that, I think are fine, but yeah,
- 27:33Speaker 3: not the best spot by any means. Next spot on
- 27:36Speaker 3: the slate here, Lucas gi Alito guy, I like to
- 27:39Speaker 3: pick on. I think the Cardinals are one of the
- 27:41Speaker 3: better stacks of the slate. Ownership gonna be held in
- 27:44Speaker 3: check because it's not a sexy game and it's not
- 27:47Speaker 3: a sexy ballpark compared to a win game in Wrigley
- 27:50Speaker 3: in Sacramento, in cutter health, I like the spot for
- 27:54Speaker 3: the Cardinals. Cardinals have been hitting. I mean Weatherholt hit
- 27:58Speaker 3: a bomb yesterday, Burlston's been red hot, Jordan Walker's been
- 28:01Speaker 3: one of the best hitters in baseball. You got a
- 28:03Speaker 3: cheap Lars new Bar who's a solid hitter. You got
- 28:06Speaker 3: a cheap catcher, and Jimmy Crooks who has some power
- 28:08Speaker 3: twenty two hundred for him, Blaze Jordan Young prospect for him,
- 28:12Speaker 3: he third base, weak position twenty five hundred. I love
- 28:15Speaker 3: the Cardinals on this slate, and it allows you to
- 28:18Speaker 3: get up to a guy like Chase Burns, who I
- 28:19Speaker 3: want to prioritize.
- 28:20Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals are a really good play.
- 28:22Speaker 3: I know the Padres do have a really good bullpen,
- 28:24Speaker 3: so if they don't jump on g Alito early, it's
- 28:26Speaker 3: probably good night. But I still think the Cardinals are
- 28:30Speaker 3: one of the better stacks on the slate, even all
- 28:32Speaker 3: things considered, I just like picking on Lucas Giolito.
- 28:35Speaker 1: What do you see in this one?
- 28:37Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the push and pull with any time you're
- 28:39Speaker 4: picking on the Padres, right, Like their starting rotation kind
- 28:42Speaker 4: of stinks. Honestly, they got a bunch of guys who
- 28:44Speaker 4: want to pick on gi Aledo, Buehler, Randy Vasquez, like
- 28:49Speaker 4: all these guys. I mean, they're good matchups. The problem
- 28:53Speaker 4: is if you get a closest game going to the
- 28:55Speaker 4: later half the pad just have a really good bullpen.
- 28:57Speaker 4: That said, I'm with you. Cardinals look good here all
- 29:01Speaker 4: of a sudden. They've been one of the best teams
- 29:02Speaker 4: in baseball against right handed pitching. Their lineup is deep,
- 29:07Speaker 4: They've got guys ascending obviously, weather hold healthy, Newt par
- 29:11Speaker 4: Back in their cheat to go along with Burlison and
- 29:15Speaker 4: Walker Burrolson's red hot. Yeah, I mean again, I feel
- 29:21Speaker 4: like it's that type of slate where I like them.
- 29:25Speaker 4: I can't guarantee I'm gonna play them, though, because there's
- 29:27Speaker 4: other teams I really like a lot too, so just
- 29:30Speaker 4: a matter of how much I prioritize them. But in
- 29:33Speaker 4: a vacuum, they look really good here. Gilito can't get
- 29:38Speaker 4: swing and miss, and the Cardinals have been really good
- 29:40Speaker 4: against right handed pitching. So I'm in.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Yeah. I did look at the bullpen here. Mason Miller
- 29:47Speaker 3: did throw eighteen pitches yesterday first game of the series here.
- 29:51Speaker 3: I don't know if they throw him back to back Obviously,
- 29:53Speaker 3: if the game's close, he's going to come in, but
- 29:56Speaker 3: I could see him getting a day off here after
- 29:59Speaker 3: throwing eighteen pitches. Like I said yesterday, Peralta is probably
- 30:02Speaker 3: gonna pitch. He's a good arm, he hasn't thrown for
- 30:05Speaker 3: two days.
- 30:06Speaker 1: And then David Morgan probably is gonna pitch.
- 30:10Speaker 3: He isn't thrown for two days, so obviously you do
- 30:13Speaker 3: have But Morgan's one of their lesser arms coming out
- 30:15Speaker 3: of there at one point eight whip four point four
- 30:17Speaker 3: to two e ra so and he's alrighty right, So
- 30:21Speaker 3: it does help the case for some.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Of those lefties there.
- 30:24Speaker 3: I'd be shocked if I didn't see a guy like
- 30:26Speaker 3: David Morgan come out. Obviously you don't know, and you're
- 30:29Speaker 3: betting on it more for them jumping on gi Alito anyways,
- 30:33Speaker 3: and you're gonna see the lesser arms. So Mason Miller
- 30:35Speaker 3: things like that doesn't matter, right, So yeah, I do
- 30:40Speaker 3: like the Cardinals quite a bit on the slate, especially
- 30:41Speaker 3: at ownership, and that's a stack where maybe you can
- 30:45Speaker 3: eat the chalk right and you can play the Chase
- 30:47Speaker 3: Burns and in Monaga something like that, because your highest
- 30:50Speaker 3: price bad is is Jordan Walker and then you got
- 30:52Speaker 3: a lot of free guys that makes the stack affordable there.
- 30:55Speaker 3: So I'm in on the Cardinals, love them. I'm not
- 30:58Speaker 3: playing the padres. They've quote unquote hit a little bit
- 31:02Speaker 3: the last series. I think Dustin May is great. You
- 31:05Speaker 3: do get the L word right, the old leverage there,
- 31:08Speaker 3: but honest, this offense sucks for DFS purposes. Gavin Sheets
- 31:13Speaker 3: would be the guy i'd play, just because he's thirty
- 31:15Speaker 3: one hundred, He's been good, he's cheap, has power, first base,
- 31:20Speaker 3: outfield eligibility.
- 31:21Speaker 1: I think he makes some sense.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Jackson Merrill would be the other guy to the lefties
- 31:25Speaker 3: against Justin May.
- 31:26Speaker 1: If you're picking out some uh some.
- 31:27Speaker 3: Leverage guys, Will Wagner, He's he's super cheap twenty one hundred,
- 31:31Speaker 3: So I wouldn't be looking to spence salary on the padres.
- 31:33Speaker 3: I'd be looking to Okay, if I'm not played Dustin May,
- 31:36Speaker 3: maybe I'm playing that's maybe that's where I play Reeen
- 31:38Speaker 3: Nelson and then I throw in a cheap Gavin Sheets
- 31:42Speaker 3: or Jackson Merrill and hope that they do enough damage
- 31:45Speaker 3: to make Dustin May get out scored by a Nelson
- 31:48Speaker 3: or one of those other cheaper arms.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Right, maybe a Tang.
- 31:51Speaker 3: Right, you play a Tang, and you play some of
- 31:53Speaker 3: those padres one offs or two man stack against Dustin May.
- 31:57Speaker 4: In they run so like they've underperformed this year, but
- 32:03Speaker 4: at least they've run a little bit, so you get
- 32:05Speaker 4: like a little bit on it, like hidden upside that
- 32:08Speaker 4: isn't accounted for, you know, merrill fatist. These guys have
- 32:12Speaker 4: really struggled this year, but when they got to get
- 32:15Speaker 4: on base, they run so least worth noting.
- 32:19Speaker 3: No, absolutely, next spot on the slate, we are going
- 32:22Speaker 3: to regularly win game here. Nothing crazy, but right around
- 32:27Speaker 3: ten mile hour winds blown out, which is like twenty
- 32:31Speaker 3: thirty mine hour wins in majority of the ballparks. Obviously,
- 32:34Speaker 3: we know wind can change at any minute in Chicago,
- 32:37Speaker 3: but it does seem to kind of hold true with
- 32:40Speaker 3: this game.
- 32:41Speaker 1: To be blowing out here a good boost for home runs.
- 32:44Speaker 3: It's not gonna be super hot, but seventy degrees with
- 32:46Speaker 3: wind blown out is gonna play definitely hit her friendly.
- 32:51Speaker 3: You got Michael Lorenzen who can't get anybody out. Cubs
- 32:54Speaker 3: look like one of the best stacks on the slate.
- 32:56Speaker 3: Ownership is gonna be held in check because obviously we've
- 32:58Speaker 3: got sutter health with the we got the Dodgers on
- 33:01Speaker 3: the slate. There's a lot of good offensive spots on
- 33:04Speaker 3: the slate, so I think the Cubs.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Are really interesting here.
- 33:07Speaker 3: Obviously got a bad starting pitcher, a really bad bullpen
- 33:09Speaker 3: behind Cubs, I think one of the best spots on
- 33:13Speaker 3: the slate for me. Rockies had a hell of a
- 33:16Speaker 3: series in Vegas gets I'll call it a park down
- 33:22Speaker 3: right here going to Wrigley. Still a favorable hitting conditions here.
- 33:26Speaker 3: I just don't love the Rockies against left handed pitching.
- 33:28Speaker 3: They've been one of the worst teams in baseball against
- 33:31Speaker 3: left handed pitching. In Monaga looks like one of the
- 33:33Speaker 3: best starting pitching plays on the slate, hence the ownership.
- 33:36Speaker 3: If he wanted to do the leverage, I'd look at
- 33:38Speaker 3: a guy like Hunter Goodman fifty two hundred cole kerrig
- 33:42Speaker 3: switch hitter three K.
- 33:44Speaker 1: He's showing some upside. I don't love this spot though,
- 33:47Speaker 1: for the.
- 33:48Speaker 3: Rocky side, even even knowing Inmanaga is a flyball guy
- 33:51Speaker 3: and gonna be one of the most popular pitchers on
- 33:53Speaker 3: the slate, I think there's better spots.
- 33:54Speaker 1: I'd rather pick on a guy like Mackenzie.
- 33:56Speaker 3: Gore with some of those twins power bats than pick
- 33:59Speaker 3: on Inmanaga here.
- 34:00Speaker 1: But I've seen crazier shit happen. What do you see
- 34:02Speaker 1: in this one?
- 34:04Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like it'd be more one off bats
- 34:05Speaker 4: for Colorado for me, just trying to pick out the
- 34:07Speaker 4: home runs with the wind, other than fully stacking them.
- 34:10Speaker 4: I don't hate it, though, just because like their lineup
- 34:14Speaker 4: is all of a sudden a little bit better against
- 34:17Speaker 4: left handed pitching than it had been. Obviously calling up
- 34:21Speaker 4: Cole Carrig, who's been a nice revelation to this lineup.
- 34:24Speaker 4: So I don't hate the Rocky stack. There's just other
- 34:28Speaker 4: stacks I like more. Simply put, the Cubs look like
- 34:31Speaker 4: maybe the top stack on the board. Though we just
- 34:33Speaker 4: saw this in Colorado. They were pretty underwhelming there except
- 34:37Speaker 4: for the last game, but now they're in another good spot.
- 34:41Speaker 4: Lorenzen Man, he's just one of the worst pitchers in
- 34:44Speaker 4: baseball and a guy you want to continuously pick on.
- 34:46Speaker 4: So as long as Colorado or whoever is gonna be
- 34:49Speaker 4: trotting him out there, I'm gonna be wanting to pick
- 34:52Speaker 4: on him as long as the ownership isn't too crazy,
- 34:54Speaker 4: and I don't think it is here. So I like
- 34:57Speaker 4: the Cubs quite a bit. I think you can stack
- 34:58Speaker 4: that one through nine. Lorenz st their bullpen stinks. The
- 35:01Speaker 4: Cubs bats since that last game in Cors have gotten
- 35:06Speaker 4: going a little bit. Had a pretty good series in
- 35:07Speaker 4: San Francisco. Obviously Logan Webb got them yesterday, but other
- 35:11Speaker 4: than that, put up some runs in net Ballpark. So
- 35:14Speaker 4: I expect a good series from them here against this
- 35:16Speaker 4: Colorado pitching staff, better than they did in Colorado. So
- 35:20Speaker 4: I'm in on the Cubs for sure. Here it's hard
- 35:22Speaker 4: not to like them, you know.
- 35:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I love the Cubs.
- 35:25Speaker 3: The whole line of pissed the ball in the air,
- 35:26Speaker 3: Lorenzo doesn't get any swing of misses, gives up a
- 35:28Speaker 3: ton of power to both sides of the plate. Cubs,
- 35:30Speaker 3: on paper have one of the best offenses in baseball.
- 35:34Speaker 3: Confordo hap, I mean you got a cheap Conforido PCAs
- 35:38Speaker 3: obviously Ben red hot lately you got Michael Bush.
- 35:42Speaker 1: Shout out to ge Risen, who loves himself.
- 35:44Speaker 3: Some Bush out there brings it up every time he's
- 35:46Speaker 3: on the slate, so I have to give him a
- 35:48Speaker 3: shout out. On the Colorado side, you want the flyball guys.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Flyball Tovar, it is the main flyball guy. Fulford Cole
- 35:57Speaker 3: Kerrig is the other guy and then crosis In Goodman.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Those kind of five guys are the guys that hit
- 36:03Speaker 3: the ball in the air. So if you wanted to
- 36:04Speaker 3: pick off home runs and some leverage, Imanaga there, Tovar, Goodman,
- 36:09Speaker 3: Krag would be the kind of the three main guys
- 36:11Speaker 3: I'd look at there. Next spot on the slate Rangers Twins.
- 36:17Speaker 3: Assuming the roof is going to be closed here in Texas,
- 36:20Speaker 3: have to assume it's very hot one hundred some degrees
- 36:23Speaker 3: in humid in Texas there, so I figured the roof
- 36:26Speaker 3: is going to be closed.
- 36:27Speaker 1: Don't quote me on that.
- 36:29Speaker 3: Good pitchers ballpark here not the best offensive spot, but
- 36:34Speaker 3: Mackenzie Gore, both of you, you and I are lower
- 36:37Speaker 3: on him than what the projected ownership in the field
- 36:40Speaker 3: is going to be. Byron Buxton, I think is the
- 36:42Speaker 3: elite one off on the slate. Royce Lewis first base,
- 36:45Speaker 3: third base eligibility. This guy couldn't hit his way out
- 36:48Speaker 3: of what paper bag. They kicked his ass to the
- 36:50Speaker 3: curb and sent him down to the minors. He figured
- 36:52Speaker 3: something out. He's come back and absolutely been ripping the
- 36:55Speaker 3: cover off the baseball. Twenty nine hundred gonna be sub
- 36:58Speaker 3: five percent owned as a value play third base, which
- 37:00Speaker 3: is a weak position.
- 37:02Speaker 1: I think he's really good play.
- 37:03Speaker 3: I really like the Buston Lewis mini stack in non
- 37:07Speaker 3: Mackenzie Gore teams. Outside of that, maybe a Luke Key
- 37:11Speaker 3: show at second base, because that's another pretty weak position.
- 37:14Speaker 3: Overall thirty four hundred. He's got some power, doesn't really
- 37:17Speaker 3: strike out, puts the ball in play. I think the
- 37:20Speaker 3: Twins have a place like I talked about as kind
- 37:23Speaker 3: of leverage as Mackenzie Gore. Don't love the full stack.
- 37:28Speaker 3: It's more two man mini stacks, Buston Lewis headlining it.
- 37:32Speaker 3: For me, Rangers, I don't love the Rangers here. I
- 37:35Speaker 3: just don't like this offense a lot. On paper, They're
- 37:37Speaker 3: gonna be on Island White. Langford's cheap. I think he's fine,
- 37:41Speaker 3: Nimo cheap. I just hate this lineup. I mean, you
- 37:44Speaker 3: got Nicky Lopez in here. Azuna, who yeah, puts the
- 37:48Speaker 3: ball in play, just has no power. I don't I
- 37:50Speaker 3: don't love it. Twins or bust for me, is kind
- 37:53Speaker 3: of a little leverage stack.
- 37:54Speaker 1: What do you see?
- 37:56Speaker 4: Yeah, outside of Gore, who we both recognize as a
- 37:59Speaker 4: good player, but just too like the ownership is just
- 38:03Speaker 4: too high. So with that being said, yeah, man, Royce Lewis,
- 38:08Speaker 4: like we've seen this with him before. He's been a
- 38:10Speaker 4: good and productive major league hitter, good for DFS, runs
- 38:15Speaker 4: a little bit under three k hit and clean up.
- 38:17Speaker 4: Now the trip to the minor seeds to have done
- 38:20Speaker 4: him wonder So I'm in on Royce Lewis. I like
- 38:23Speaker 4: the two men with bucks and as you called out,
- 38:24Speaker 4: but I'll even take it deeper. Austin Martin leading off,
- 38:28Speaker 4: I'm a fan of his like I just like the
- 38:31Speaker 4: way he plays the game, even if even if he
- 38:33Speaker 4: isn't like a DFS superstar. So yeah, if you're not
- 38:37Speaker 4: playing Gore, I think you want to at least look
- 38:38Speaker 4: at the Twins. You don't have to play them, but
- 38:41Speaker 4: definitely a role on this slate for those guys. Like
- 38:44Speaker 4: I said, they'll run a little bit too to some
- 38:47Speaker 4: untapped upside there. I like that call. And then as
- 38:50Speaker 4: far as the Rangers go, I think I like them
- 38:53Speaker 4: a little bit more than you. I don't want to
- 38:56Speaker 4: full stack them. But someone like Wyatt Langford, who's just
- 38:59Speaker 4: crazy cheap at thirty three hundred, he's been good since
- 39:02Speaker 4: he's been since he's been back, and I just think
- 39:05Speaker 4: that price tag is criminal, So the Rangers are more
- 39:08Speaker 4: of price place for me than wanting to full stack them.
- 39:11Speaker 4: I do think that Langford, however, is one of the
- 39:13Speaker 4: best like value dollar per dollar plays on the slate
- 39:16Speaker 4: as far as batters go.
- 39:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I throw Nimo in there too. Nimo
- 39:21Speaker 1: is a good hitter.
- 39:23Speaker 3: He has tons of power, puts the ball in play,
- 39:25Speaker 3: doesn't really strike out a lot. So that thirty three hundred,
- 39:28Speaker 3: thirty four hundred little three to four stack part of
- 39:31Speaker 3: that lineup. Jake Berger another cheap guy with some power. Yeah,
- 39:35Speaker 3: Rangers are dirt cheap, so in a stack. There's a
- 39:39Speaker 3: lot of cheap bats on the slate. But if you
- 39:40Speaker 3: wanted to play the Dodgers with Chase Burns, I think
- 39:44Speaker 3: get into some of these Rangers, especially Langford Nimo I
- 39:47Speaker 3: think makes a lot of sense. But there's cheap bats
- 39:51Speaker 3: all over the slate, so you don't have to do it.
- 39:53Speaker 3: I don't love stacking, but the Twins bullpen's not good.
- 39:56Speaker 3: They're gonna basically go bullpen game here. Predees not a
- 40:00Speaker 3: great arm, he's not gonna go super long.
- 40:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 40:05Speaker 3: Not not one of the pristine games for me from
- 40:07Speaker 3: an offensive perspective, I think the Twins mini stack is
- 40:10Speaker 3: really interesting against the highest on pitcher on the slate
- 40:14Speaker 3: and Mackenzie Gore, who has just as much upside and
- 40:17Speaker 3: downside as really any starting pitcher in the league. We
- 40:20Speaker 3: know he's either gonna get you thirty or he's probably
- 40:24Speaker 3: gonna get you. He's got pretty equal chance to get
- 40:27Speaker 3: your negative Fantasy points or sub ten Fantasy points anytime
- 40:30Speaker 3: he's on the slate, regardless of the matchup. Next spot
- 40:33Speaker 3: Astros Tigers. This is a spot I don't love, but
- 40:38Speaker 3: Astros have, especially Jordon. I mean, I think Jordon's an
- 40:41Speaker 3: elite one off anytime he's on the slate, especially when
- 40:43Speaker 3: he subbed ten percent owned. Put him in that category
- 40:47Speaker 3: of leave expensive hit or out of your stacks like
- 40:50Speaker 3: a PCA, Spend up a little bit more for Jordon.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Something like that I think makes a lot of sense.
- 40:55Speaker 3: Or a guy like Brandon Lowe, right, I know it's
- 40:58Speaker 3: different positions, but you leave him out of your iron stack.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Is one of the highest on hitters on the slate.
- 41:02Speaker 3: You're throwing a yord On Alvarez who has two home
- 41:05Speaker 3: run upside in one inning, including a grand slam as
- 41:09Speaker 3: we saw over the weekend there, I don't love this
- 41:11Speaker 3: game from stacking perspective on either side.
- 41:13Speaker 4: Talk to me though, Yeah, I'm with you, But I
- 41:17Speaker 4: do feel like this is one where maybe I'm underrating
- 41:19Speaker 4: it because I don't really like the pitchers either.
- 41:23Speaker 2: And.
- 41:24Speaker 4: This game is just a wild card to me because
- 41:26Speaker 4: I'm going to mostly play it like I expected to play,
- 41:29Speaker 4: kind of like a four, three, five, four nothing game.
- 41:33Speaker 4: But man, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's
- 41:35Speaker 4: like an eight seven, nine eight type of game with
- 41:38Speaker 4: the pitching on the hill here the Houston bullpen. We
- 41:42Speaker 4: know Houston lineup has upside. We just saw it obviously.
- 41:44Speaker 4: Jordon has been the best hitter in baseball this year.
- 41:47Speaker 4: And the Detroit side, I mean, Tang puts guys on base.
- 41:53Speaker 4: I really don't like playing Detroit. I hardly ever play them,
- 41:56Speaker 4: but they've also gotten a little bit better recently outside
- 42:00Speaker 4: of the series in Cleveland, the two games they just
- 42:02Speaker 4: played where they weren't very good, but before that they
- 42:04Speaker 4: had been. So I doubt I play this game, but
- 42:08Speaker 4: I think it's sneaky in tournaments. I'll put it like that.
- 42:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I would rather play the Tiger side. The reason
- 42:15Speaker 3: being is the points you just alluded to. Number one,
- 42:17Speaker 3: they're a pretty patient offense. I mean, you look at
- 42:21Speaker 3: this offense, even a guy like Outman who does strike
- 42:24Speaker 3: out a lot, but if he doesn't strike out, he's
- 42:26Speaker 3: he I mean, he's pretty patient at the plate. Eight
- 42:28Speaker 3: percent walk rate, Torkelsen almost a ten percent walk rate,
- 42:31Speaker 3: Carpenter McKinstry, green all at ten percent or higher, Glaber
- 42:35Speaker 3: Torres McGonagall twelve thirteen percent, fifteen percent walk rate.
- 42:39Speaker 1: And you're talking about a guy in tang.
- 42:42Speaker 3: If he doesn't strike you out, he's putting you on base, right,
- 42:44Speaker 3: So you really want the lefties against him.
- 42:47Speaker 1: So McGonagall I think is a really good play.
- 42:49Speaker 3: Riley Green I think is an interesting play, but you
- 42:52Speaker 3: can definitely see the downside. And then you add in
- 42:54Speaker 3: that Houston bullpen. There is a spot for Detroit at
- 42:56Speaker 3: no ownership on the slate. I know it's not a
- 42:59Speaker 3: good offense. I know they've been terrible, but volatile, kind
- 43:04Speaker 3: of Swiss cheese type arm where there's a lot of
- 43:06Speaker 3: holes in him. People are playing him because he's seven
- 43:09Speaker 3: k does have some strike on ability, and the Tigers
- 43:12Speaker 3: have been bad recently. That's why people are playing them.
- 43:15Speaker 3: It's not like this guy's a cy young by any means.
- 43:17Speaker 3: So McGonagall, I think is a great play on this
- 43:19Speaker 3: slate carry Carpenter. Dylan Dingler has been red hot. This
- 43:22Speaker 3: dude's been murdering baseball.
- 43:24Speaker 1: It's five k.
- 43:25Speaker 3: If people are playing that, they're clicking Hunter Goodman, They're
- 43:27Speaker 3: clicking Shay lang Lears. But I mean, he's one thousand
- 43:30Speaker 3: dollars cheaper than Shay lang Lears, right, So I think
- 43:33Speaker 3: Dylan Dingler is a good option. Riley Green, I talked
- 43:35Speaker 3: about him. You do have some cheap lefties as well,
- 43:38Speaker 3: so I do think the tiger side is pretty interesting.
- 43:41Speaker 3: I think the more likely outcome is, like you said,
- 43:44Speaker 3: this game is like a four to three type game.
- 43:47Speaker 3: But I can definitely see this game going crazy, kind
- 43:49Speaker 3: of like that Houston Kansas City game did where it
- 43:51Speaker 3: was what like ten or eleven to six or something
- 43:56Speaker 3: in the first inning whatever it was, when Jordan obviously
- 43:58Speaker 3: hit the two home runs. Casey came up in the
- 44:00Speaker 3: bottom half of that inning and scored six six runs
- 44:03Speaker 3: or whatever it was.
- 44:04Speaker 1: So I could see the potential for that.
- 44:06Speaker 3: The likelihood is it doesn't I do still think McGonagall
- 44:10Speaker 3: and Carpenter, Riley Green, those three, Dingler, those four guys,
- 44:14Speaker 3: regardless of how this game goes, I think they have
- 44:16Speaker 3: upside as DFS plays in particular. Next spot Dbacks Angels,
- 44:22Speaker 3: Urena on the mound, Reen Nelson, two pitchers we had
- 44:24Speaker 3: interest in Dbacks. I think are definitely gonna get some
- 44:27Speaker 3: ownership here against Arena. There's clear downside risks to him.
- 44:31Speaker 3: I don't love it. I just like I said this,
- 44:33Speaker 3: I don't love this lineup overall. Jordan Lawler's been hitting.
- 44:37Speaker 3: Tommy Troy hit a bomb yesterday. I just I don't know.
- 44:40Speaker 3: Marte's obviously great, Carol's obviously great. I just I don't
- 44:44Speaker 3: love this lineup overall. Perdomo hit a bomb I think
- 44:47Speaker 3: yesterday too. He's four K. This is not one of
- 44:51Speaker 3: my favorite spots. I know people are gonna probably like
- 44:54Speaker 3: some Arizona. I just I don't like this spot much.
- 44:57Speaker 3: I'm more on the pitching in this one than the hitting.
- 44:59Speaker 3: Angels have a ton of power. They also have a
- 45:01Speaker 3: lot of strikeouts. Mike Trout I think is the elite
- 45:03Speaker 3: went off if you wanted to go there. Wade Meckler,
- 45:05Speaker 3: this dude I mean, he continues to produce, and he's
- 45:10Speaker 3: thirty eight hundred dollars against Reeen Nelson, so he has upside.
- 45:17Speaker 3: It's more mini stacks or nothing for me in this one, though,
- 45:19Speaker 3: What do you see?
- 45:22Speaker 4: Yeah, So I'm kind of banking on the field not
- 45:25Speaker 4: playing Arizona here. I think they come in as just
- 45:28Speaker 4: like a medium level owned stack, and presuming that's the case,
- 45:33Speaker 4: I like them against Urina, who also struggles with putting
- 45:36Speaker 4: guys on base, so he's been good and I think
- 45:39Speaker 4: he's in play. But I also just can't quit this
- 45:42Speaker 4: Arizona team. I like the top of their lineup. They
- 45:45Speaker 4: got Peven Smith back presumably hitting fifth for really cheap,
- 45:50Speaker 4: and I like picking on the Angels because after Uranya,
- 45:54Speaker 4: you're guaranteed to get bad pitching. So I like the
- 45:57Speaker 4: DBAX more at home. Again, I'm kind of on the
- 46:00Speaker 4: field not getting there. If that's not the case and
- 46:02Speaker 4: they are getting ownership, I'll probably bail on them. But
- 46:05Speaker 4: as of now, I like them as kind of a
- 46:07Speaker 4: lowish owned stack personally. But again, if I'm wrong there,
- 46:11Speaker 4: then I don't like them as much. So ownership is
- 46:13Speaker 4: a big part there. The Angels, I'm in on Nelson,
- 46:18Speaker 4: but he hasn't been good. And this is another one.
- 46:23Speaker 4: I could see the Angels like destroying the Sleep. They've
- 46:26Speaker 4: got the upside to do it. If Nelson doesn't have
- 46:29Speaker 4: his good stuff here, he's liable to get blown up.
- 46:32Speaker 4: I mean tepping a bunch this year. There's an afternoon
- 46:35Speaker 4: sight I remember like a month ago, six weeks ago,
- 46:37Speaker 4: where he just got destroyed by Toronto first inning type stuff,
- 46:41Speaker 4: similar to what Houston just did. So excuse me, that's
- 46:46Speaker 4: on the table for sure. That said, I'm more in
- 46:49Speaker 4: on Nelson than I am on the Angels, and I
- 46:52Speaker 4: like the d bacs more than you.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I just the d bets. You want to play.
- 46:57Speaker 3: I think everybody wants to play, right, So that's the
- 47:00Speaker 3: that's the issue I have. Like Marte Carrol, those guys
- 47:03Speaker 3: are fifty three hundred and fifty eight hundred, and it's
- 47:05Speaker 3: not like I mean, they're getting played. So I'd rather
- 47:07Speaker 3: pivot to like Low and Dodgers in that price tier
- 47:11Speaker 3: personally for me, but I get the reasoning. It's Robert
- 47:14Speaker 3: Urina who has a double digit walk rate. Things can
- 47:17Speaker 3: go south and hurry when you start giving free passes.
- 47:19Speaker 3: They do have lords Gariel who adds some more power
- 47:22Speaker 3: but also adds more strikeouts to that lineup. So I
- 47:25Speaker 3: get the reasonings, and I definitely think they have a
- 47:28Speaker 3: spot on the slate. Personally myself, I'm not super high
- 47:31Speaker 3: on them. Pavin Smith is a pinchhit concern, I will
- 47:35Speaker 3: call of that. I haven't looked at the bullpen usage
- 47:38Speaker 3: there for the Angels in terms of lefties and that,
- 47:42Speaker 3: but he would be a pinchhick concerned. I do like
- 47:45Speaker 3: him against right hand pitching. He's twenty five hundred. He
- 47:47Speaker 3: is only first baitt eligible there, so there is a
- 47:50Speaker 3: lot of opportunity cost there at that position. That is
- 47:53Speaker 3: the one call out I will say with that, and
- 47:55Speaker 3: you're probably looking at two at bats for Paving Smith there,
- 47:59Speaker 3: especially if the Dbacks do jump on Walbart Arena here.
- 48:04Speaker 1: Next spot going to Sutter Health.
- 48:06Speaker 3: Best hitting conditions on the slate ninety some degrees and
- 48:09Speaker 3: fifteen mile hour wins blown straight out in a minor
- 48:12Speaker 3: league stadium right Trip Boy Ballpark here. It's not Vegas,
- 48:16Speaker 3: but it's pretty close. Obviously, we streamline offense in this
- 48:20Speaker 3: park all season.
- 48:23Speaker 1: Doesn't change here tonight. J T Gin very susceptible to left.
- 48:27Speaker 3: Handed hitters very good elite caliber arm against Righty's issue
- 48:31Speaker 3: is he's going to see seven lefties, likely here from
- 48:34Speaker 3: the Pirates who do have good left handed hitters. Horwitz
- 48:38Speaker 3: is really good, Low's good, Reynolds is good. Oh, Hearn's
- 48:41Speaker 3: been really good. You got some cheap guys in the
- 48:43Speaker 3: back half like a Callahan Anddie Rodriguez. Jake Mangum always
- 48:46Speaker 3: has still the base upside as well. Pirates Hi Stone
- 48:50Speaker 3: stack on the slate for a good reason. With the
- 48:52Speaker 3: park boost, the A's bullpen's bad full nine in and
- 48:55Speaker 3: guaranteed at bats here win blown out in this Crackerjack stadium,
- 48:59Speaker 3: It's still a Pirates.
- 49:00Speaker 1: At the end of the day. They do have upside.
- 49:02Speaker 1: They are gonna be the highest on stack. I get it.
- 49:04Speaker 3: Everything points on paper, they're one of the best stacks.
- 49:07Speaker 3: The A side gonna be lower on because of these
- 49:10Speaker 3: price points. I mean Nick Kurtz at sixty three hundred,
- 49:13Speaker 3: Soderstrom at five K, Langlers at six k. I mean,
- 49:16Speaker 3: after this team just scored a million runs in Vegas,
- 49:19Speaker 3: the prices are still way up there.
- 49:21Speaker 1: But adding Jacob Wilson to this lineup does extend it.
- 49:26Speaker 3: Henry BOLTI I mean, they have a really really good
- 49:29Speaker 3: lineup on paper. Jared Jones has some arm talent. I
- 49:33Speaker 3: don't know if he displays it here tonight. I think
- 49:36Speaker 3: this is the best game on paper from both sides. Overall,
- 49:40Speaker 3: it's can you afford the A's Pirates are more affordable?
- 49:43Speaker 1: Talk to me in this one? How do you see it?
- 49:46Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, I don't know. The Pirates is really
- 49:51Speaker 4: popular here against the picture I respect again, I get it, Like,
- 49:57Speaker 4: I don't think they're a bad stack, and I don't
- 49:59Speaker 4: think their ownership gets too crazy. But I do like
- 50:03Speaker 4: the Cubs more personally. So between the two, give me
- 50:07Speaker 4: the Cubs. We'll talk about two other stacks that I
- 50:10Speaker 4: like too, the Dodgers, who will get to and then
- 50:13Speaker 4: Tampa has some pieces I like. So I like the Pirates,
- 50:17Speaker 4: I'm just not sure if I like them enough to
- 50:19Speaker 4: play them as Like again, the highest owned stack. You know,
- 50:24Speaker 4: no O'Neal cruise in this lineup. It makes them a
- 50:27Speaker 4: much less desirable stack because of his power and his speed.
- 50:31Speaker 4: That said, and also makes them a lot cheaper. So yeah, like,
- 50:35Speaker 4: I understand why Pittsford's getting love. I don't think they're
- 50:37Speaker 4: a bad stack.
- 50:38Speaker 3: At all.
- 50:39Speaker 4: I'll probably play some Pittsburgh more as like mini stacks
- 50:42Speaker 4: than five man them because I respect Gain enough and
- 50:45Speaker 4: I really only want the lefties. But I would understand
- 50:48Speaker 4: why someone would just bock commit to them. Here. The A's,
- 50:53Speaker 4: they're interesting against Jared Jones. Problem with the A's is
- 50:59Speaker 4: they're so expensive because of the Vegas thing. So this
- 51:03Speaker 4: ballpark is really good, best hitting conditions on the slate.
- 51:07Speaker 4: It's not Vegas, though, and their price like to the moon.
- 51:10Speaker 4: So I like the A's if you can get there,
- 51:15Speaker 4: but I'm not sure I'm gonna be able or wanting
- 51:19Speaker 4: to allocate that much salary to them, if that makes sense.
- 51:23Speaker 4: I do wonder if people play this game like thinking
- 51:25Speaker 4: it's in Vegas. I know that a lot of things
- 51:27Speaker 4: are run by sims nowadays, but still people handbuilding have
- 51:32Speaker 4: seen these scores by the A's and their opponents like
- 51:35Speaker 4: all last week. I wonder if you get some like
- 51:38Speaker 4: a like, if you get some like uh, you know,
- 51:41Speaker 4: more ownership on them because of that.
- 51:43Speaker 3: Just a thought, Yeah, And I mean just people handbuilding too,
- 51:49Speaker 3: clicking the.
- 51:49Speaker 1: Game logs right and they see the game logs from yeah,
- 51:52Speaker 1: from from the A side of things, right.
- 51:54Speaker 3: I think the prices are enough, though, especially when people
- 51:57Speaker 3: start clicking in Chase Burns, they clicking him and not
- 52:00Speaker 3: guy they're clicking. I mean, you know it's it's you
- 52:04Speaker 3: run out of salary quick, so getting too The A's right,
- 52:06Speaker 3: Nick Kurtz lang Lear Is. The two guys who want
- 52:08Speaker 3: to play the most from the team are six k.
- 52:12Speaker 3: So that's enough I think to hold it in check.
- 52:16Speaker 3: I did, I was looking at I didn't want to
- 52:18Speaker 3: mention this point on the pitch hit risk for some
- 52:21Speaker 3: of these pirates. Hogan Harris hasn't pitched in two days.
- 52:27Speaker 3: Throws from the left side. He's a good arm. He's
- 52:29Speaker 3: almost likely to come out of that bullpen, I would
- 52:32Speaker 3: assume after JT. Gin So if the Pirates do jump
- 52:36Speaker 3: on him, maybe he doesn't. But you're you're talking guys
- 52:40Speaker 3: like Callahan pinch hit risk for sure. Valdez if he's
- 52:46Speaker 3: in there, pinch hit Henry Davis if if he starts,
- 52:49Speaker 3: he's he's pinch hit risk.
- 52:52Speaker 1: There.
- 52:52Speaker 3: There's Spencer Horwitz pinch hit risk. So there's clear pinch
- 52:56Speaker 3: hit risk. They obviously can't pitch hit risk. All of
- 52:59Speaker 3: them are all of them. Callahan would be the main guy.
- 53:02Speaker 3: I know, he's twenty four hundred, he has a ton
- 53:04Speaker 3: of power against righty's. He's probably a solid play just
- 53:08Speaker 3: because he's cheap. But these other guys do have some
- 53:12Speaker 3: pinch at risk. I did want to mention that because
- 53:15Speaker 3: I do think Hogan Harris would if this game is
- 53:17Speaker 3: even remotely close. He likely comes out of that bullpen,
- 53:20Speaker 3: who I respect him as well, and he throws from
- 53:22Speaker 3: the left side, So I didn't want to mention that.
- 53:24Speaker 3: But yeah, on paper, one of the best spots. I
- 53:27Speaker 3: do have the Cubs higher than them than both of
- 53:30Speaker 3: these teams for sure, and then I also have a
- 53:32Speaker 3: team in the next game that we're going to talk
- 53:33Speaker 3: about higher than both of these teams, and it's gonna
- 53:36Speaker 3: be much lower own because I don't know, people just
- 53:41Speaker 3: trust Nick Martinez. I think Nick Martinez is smoking mers.
- 53:44Speaker 3: That takes us right into the next game. Here low
- 53:47Speaker 3: owned Dodgers at home against Nick Martinez, who I think
- 53:51Speaker 3: is due for some big time regression. Here he's smoking merrors.
- 53:55Speaker 3: All of his underlying metrics look like. This is a
- 53:57Speaker 3: great spot for the Dodgers in I mean, this team
- 54:01Speaker 3: is number one and way to runs creator plus against
- 54:03Speaker 3: right handed pitching, and the only batter that's getting ownership
- 54:08Speaker 3: on the stack is Otani, who gets ownership anytime he's
- 54:10Speaker 3: on the slate. But you're talking ten to twelve fifteen
- 54:13Speaker 3: percent maybe when normally this dude's like twenty to thirty percent.
- 54:17Speaker 3: I love the Dodgers here. They're my top overall stack.
- 54:19Speaker 3: I put them right up there with the Cubs. Is
- 54:21Speaker 3: kind of one A one B.
- 54:23Speaker 1: I love the spot. I'm gonna play them.
- 54:26Speaker 3: And it's nice that you got guys in the back half,
- 54:29Speaker 3: a guy like Ryan Ward at thirty four hundred, who
- 54:31Speaker 3: has a ton of power prospect for them.
- 54:34Speaker 1: He not a lot of people know about him.
- 54:36Speaker 3: And he's gonna be unowned, and he's thirty four hundred,
- 54:39Speaker 3: makes the stack cheaper. You got Dalton Rushing, who probably
- 54:41Speaker 3: gets to start against the right of here, You've got
- 54:43Speaker 3: Freeland at second base at three k, Max Munsey red
- 54:47Speaker 3: hot forty eight hundred for him's fair price, Freddie Freeman,
- 54:51Speaker 3: I mean, I love this Dodgers stack here. I'm sure
- 54:54Speaker 3: you're gonna be in the same camp. But go ahead
- 54:55Speaker 3: and break down the last game of the slate here.
- 54:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Nick Martinez is not good in my opinion.
- 55:02Speaker 4: So I do like the Dodgers here, I don't know
- 55:06Speaker 4: if I like them quite as much as you, only
- 55:07Speaker 4: because man, they're another team. They're price tags are high,
- 55:10Speaker 4: like the guys you want. I'm with you on like
- 55:13Speaker 4: the ward call. They do have some cheaper guys in
- 55:15Speaker 4: the back end, but the guys you want are pricey,
- 55:19Speaker 4: so you got to pay for them. As you just said,
- 55:21Speaker 4: Like you start playing Burns and then some Dodgers, it
- 55:25Speaker 4: gets it gets tight real quick. So just know that
- 55:28Speaker 4: going in that said, I think that they have the
- 55:31Speaker 4: highest upside of any team on the board. I like
- 55:34Speaker 4: the matchup for the Cubs more, but the Dodgers are
- 55:38Speaker 4: just a much better offense than the Cubs or anyone
- 55:40Speaker 4: else really, So you're gonna get them lower owned tonight,
- 55:44Speaker 4: which is always nice and pretty rare. So yeah, I'm
- 55:48Speaker 4: with you. If I can make it work, I want them,
- 55:51Speaker 4: just not sure I'll be able to make it work
- 55:52Speaker 4: because they're so expensive.
- 55:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Pirate The Pirates have some cheap
- 56:01Speaker 3: bats the A's, But I mean, you can definitely make
- 56:03Speaker 3: it work.
- 56:04Speaker 1: Maybe you don't make it work with a guy like
- 56:06Speaker 1: Chase Burns.
- 56:08Speaker 3: And you play some of the like a Imanaga and
- 56:13Speaker 3: a Nelson or Dustin May. And instead of playing the Pirates,
- 56:16Speaker 3: which everybody else is gonna do, you play the Dodgers, right,
- 56:18Speaker 3: something like that, and then you have all kind of
- 56:21Speaker 3: the salary. And I actually love Ryan Ward rushing. I
- 56:26Speaker 3: like the back half right, wrap it around the seven, eight, nine,
- 56:29Speaker 3: one three something like that, right, the little wrap around stack.
- 56:33Speaker 3: It's a flyball offense against a fly ball pitcher and
- 56:35Speaker 3: Martinez in Dodger Stadium with some wind blown out so
- 56:39Speaker 3: and seventy degrees. It's not like it's sixty, low sixties
- 56:43Speaker 3: or upper fifties. It's just as good at hitting conditions
- 56:47Speaker 3: here as majority of these spots outside of maybe Wrigley
- 56:50Speaker 3: and then Cutter health, right, So I do like this
- 56:53Speaker 3: spot quite a bit.
- 56:54Speaker 1: Ballpark pal has it playing above average for bats as well.
- 56:57Speaker 3: So yeah, give me sign me up for low and
- 57:00Speaker 3: Dodgers on a shorter slate, which usually you don't see
- 57:03Speaker 3: as the case. Matt we broke down all eight games,
- 57:07Speaker 3: talk pitching, talked hitting time for the end of the
- 57:09Speaker 3: still kind of the cliff notes, if you will go
- 57:13Speaker 3: ahead and give me your top three pitchers or your
- 57:17Speaker 3: favorite pairing whatever, and then your top three stacks in
- 57:19Speaker 3: a home run Coffee album.
- 57:22Speaker 4: Top three pitchers gotta be Burns for sure. We'll go
- 57:26Speaker 4: May and Ryan Nelson, combo of those three, and then
- 57:30Speaker 4: favorite stacks. We'll go with the Cubs, We'll go with
- 57:36Speaker 4: the Dodgers, and we'll go with the d Backs, who
- 57:39Speaker 4: I like more than you. And then home run Tonight. Yeah,
- 57:46Speaker 4: We're gonna go with a guy we talked about a lot,
- 57:50Speaker 4: just seeing the ball really well against the Chalky Gore,
- 57:53Speaker 4: royce Lewis going yard.
- 57:56Speaker 1: Love that love that.
- 57:58Speaker 3: I was gonna go there, but I had a couple
- 57:59Speaker 3: backup already, so I'll double down on Royce Lewis.
- 58:03Speaker 1: But first I'll go McKenzie or not.
- 58:05Speaker 3: Mackenzie Gore, Chase Burns, I Mi Naga, Dustin May are
- 58:09Speaker 3: kind of the three guys that I really like on
- 58:12Speaker 3: the slate offense. Cubs, Dodgers, Cardinals are kind of the
- 58:16Speaker 3: three main teams I'm looking at home run call. I'll
- 58:19Speaker 3: go to the Dodgers. I'll go to the back half
- 58:22Speaker 3: of this lineup. I'll go to Ryan Ward cheap. I
- 58:25Speaker 3: like his power profile. I think he gets one here tonight.
- 58:28Speaker 3: And then I'll go back to the Twins as well.
- 58:30Speaker 3: With you, I'll give two. I'll give you the Mini stack,
- 58:32Speaker 3: one of our favorite mini stacks. I'll give you Byron Buckston.
- 58:35Speaker 3: I know he's expensive, but the dude's gonna be two
- 58:37Speaker 3: percent owned on an eight game slate, and he's a
- 58:40Speaker 3: really good hitter against the Chalky's pitcher on the slate.
- 58:42Speaker 3: I know it's not a great ballpark, but give me
- 58:44Speaker 3: some Byron Buxton. He doesn't care where he's hitting. He
- 58:47Speaker 3: can hit it out anywhere, so that's gonna do it.
