• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ball systems going clear the lift?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: What is going on?
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Ship it Nation YouTube station. We're back with my guy, Matt,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: like I am every Monday throughout the MLB season. Here,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: excited to be back with you, talking baseball, talking Dodgers
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: course field again, which hey, four game series they blessed
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: us with, so you don't just get the Dodgers over
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: the week, and you do get them here on this Monday.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Slight definitely going to be the talking point, as course
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: field typically is on any given baseball slate, especially here tonight,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: where offense feels pretty weak outside of obviously the Dodgers
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: in course field there. Pitching wise fairly water down, I
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: would say, outside of maybe one or two guys in general,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: So pretty clear cut on what seems to be what
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the field's going to be doing at least majority of
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the field. So we'll do our best to navigate through that,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: talk through it with you here. But Matt, how was
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: your weekend? Happy Monday? Brother? Excited to talk about you.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Weekend was good Man. Actually took a little road trip
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: with the fam, went down to Columbus, which is just
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: a couple hours south of here. So yeah, I had
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: a fun weekend, Happy to be back at it today though,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: talking some ball with you. Fun Monday night slate. Obviously
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we got this early start with three games starting at
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: six forty or six forty, so fun little element to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: this slate. Obviously, NBA Playoffs going on right now, so
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: that's fun. And yeah, man, it was definitely disappointed when
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I opened this slate up and saw that the Dodgers
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: were still in cores, Like, just didn't love seeing it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: You know, you could obviously play it both ways. They're
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: gonna get a ton of ownership, so it opens up
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the field. I was just kind of ready to be
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: done with this series, but it is what it is.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: We get one more day of it. Haven't even looked
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: at tomorrow's schedule yet, so hopefully Colorado's on the road.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: They're not. We get the Padres coming to town there,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: so it should be should should should should be a
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: fun week of talking baseball here. But hey, everybody has
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: the same deck of cards to play with here, it's right,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: just like just like a chess master, everyone has the
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: same chess board in front of them. There's levels to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the game, same thing in poker, et cetera. So we'll
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: do our best to to kind of navigate it right,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the best weekend, everybody sees the same thing, at least
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: going into the slate. Now, if that comes to fruition,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: we'll see I was dead wrong. Well, I don't say
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I was dead wrong. I think I was pretty spot
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: on Friday in terms of how I was gonna play
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: and how the field was gonna play. The field won
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: because it was the value white Sox with the Dodgers, right, surprise, surprise,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: what optimizer. We're spitting out very similar situation here tonight.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So if that wins, usually I'm not gonna win a
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: bunch of money just because I don't play the same
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: way everybody else plays. Baseball is already a hard enough game.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: It's already super high variant. But again, it does does
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: get tricky, so we'll do our best to break it
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: down here. We got a bunch of regulars here in
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the chat with some new folks. Clint Wood out here
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: wins a lot in my lanes, Avery, Danny, Taco, Toad,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Gang Green, Warren Tyler, our guy Stoner tuning in here.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Little bong rips out out there in Garden City, Colorado.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Flip to flop. Appreciate everyone tuning in and hit that
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: like what hits The subscribe button helps us out a
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: ton here, Matt, I'm gonna go ahead and pull partner
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Sabersim up on the screen. Whila, go ahead and hide this.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I got it sorted. So I did a dry run
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: average of projections, just ran one hundred and fifty. Team,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: just kind of see what what the optimizers are kind
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: of spitting out. No surprise, it's Dylan Cees Dodgers and
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Blue Jays. So paren cees up with with some of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: those Blue Jays bats, which we're obviously going to talk
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: about there, and then obviously Dylan c highest priced guy
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: up on the board, gets that strikeout happy Angels matchup.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: So let's talk pitching here eightk and above. You got
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Nola down there at eighty two hundred. He's looked pretty
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: good to start the year here. He's definitely gonna get ownership,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: probably gonna be up there top three on the slate,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: maybe behind Cease and det Meurs, a guy we're going
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: to talk about later. Can't say much about him, Bryce
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Elder eighty two hundred, not going to get much ownership.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: He's been really, really good, kind of pitching over his
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: head in terms of strike up potential for the career numbers.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Maybe he's made a change, maybe he hasn't, but he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: eighty two hundred. There, Emerson Hancock, that pitcher's ballpark and
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: the strikeout happy a's in town out there in Seattle.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: He seems really really good to me. I like him
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: quite a bit. Kyle Bradish logo and Sees up the
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: top eighty six to ninety eight hundred. What's your uh,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: what's your favorite here? How you kind of navigating this
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: quote unquote top tier if you will? With the state
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: game slay ahead.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think that it's definitely the type of
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: slate where like you could poke holes in all these guys.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I think Sees is the top dog ninety eight hundreds expensive,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Like he's the most expensive and gonna be the highest owned.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: He's not consistent enough where I think you have to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: play him, but he's got the highest upside on the slate,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: so projects the best. I think he's a deserted number
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: one after that. I don't know. I personally like Hancock
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the best eighty five hundred in this ballpark, in this
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: strikeout heavy matchup. I feel better about him than I
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: do Nola. But I could understand playing Nola in this
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: spot at that price point. I could understand playing Lugo.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: He's pricey, he's been good. I wrote this in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: slate plan. I think that game is kind of a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: true both sides or where I could get on more
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: with Lugo and the Baltimore offense, which we'll obviously get to.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I'm out an Elder here. He's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: just too pricey for the matchup. I've been impressed by
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: his start of the season, so probably I'm not going
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to be stacking Washington against him, but I doubt I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: use him at that price point. I think it's Cease, Hancock, Lugo, Nola.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I think Bradish is probably also too expensive, but they're
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: kind of dealing with that all over the slate. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: don't love the pitching options, which is why CS is
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: going to be really, really highly owned.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pitching is pretty gross here. I'll start with Dylan Sees.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I think if you had to have a guy on
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: paper who has the highest ceiling, it's Dylan Sea's, right,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: but we don't know what Dylan SE's we're gonna get.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Dylan Cees is shaky start to start, regardless, of the matchup.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It's more of just the Dylan Seas thing. He can
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: go out here and easily walk five of these Angels,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: six of these Angels right and get blown up. The
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Angel has been hitting, They've been solid. I get it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: In the Blue Jays, if Ceas struggles that all the
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Blue Jays have arguably the best pen and baseball at
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: least to start the year, they're they're sitting right there
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: at second best, but behind the Orioles to start the
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: year here, So Cease is fine, I get it. But
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: highest priced, highest owned in Anaheim, where it's fairly decent
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: hitting conditions out there is well. I think he's fine.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: It's just it's very tough for me because the Angels
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: offense is actually pretty patient in general. If you look
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: at it as a team, a twelve percent walk rate
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: on the season against right handed pitching, when Dylan Sees
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: already has a thirteen percent walk rate over the last
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: to both sides of the play right. So you can
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: definitely see a case where Dylan ces can easily pitch
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: himself out of his own game here. Now, obviously the
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: strikeouts are still there. I get it. So Ceas on
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: paper sp one on the slate, But for me in tournaments,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I think Hancock's are really really good play. He's my
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: favorite pitcher on the slate. When you account for ownership,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: you account for salary, everything, the ballpark, everything there. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I love Hancock. I'm with you there, Lugo, I think
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: is a great pivot off of Dylan. See he's overpriced,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: but the majority of these guys, you can argue everyone
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: pretty much on the slate outside of some of these
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: guys are going to talk about in the cheap tier
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: are overpriced in the slate right, so pricing doesn't really matter.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I look at ownership, I look at the match up here.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: He's still got strikeouts. The oil has been miserable to
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: start the year. I do worry that ballpark there, Kaufman
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Stadium does have ten to fifteen million hour winds blown
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: out the duration of that game, which does scare me
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: a little bit here. But logo, for the most part
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: is is a pretty solid pitcher. Does struggle with some
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: flyball concerns to those lefties there, which be interesting to
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: see what this Orioles lineup's gonna be. I'm assuming Gunner
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: is obviously gonna be in there. Bassallo Tavaras will probably
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: hit from the left side of feed cracks that line
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: up beavers cowser, so they do have some lefties to
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: throw at Seth Lugo there. But in terms of upside
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: as a pivot up in this top tier, I think logo,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I don't really like Bradish much here personally myself case,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: he's been miserable to start the year, So you can
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: make the case for Bradish there, But I'd rather just
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: get more handcocky in that in that range there. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I'm with you there too. I'm out on elder I
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: just I've never been an elder guy. I mean, this
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: dude's a's what eighty two hundred, has a three and
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: a half k prop. I get it. It's heavy juice
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: to the heavy juice to the over there. But I mean,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I just don't think this dude's a great strike up pitcher. Now,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: he could probably get you a quality start. Go along there,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Angels bats obviously are going to be or the brave
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: bats are obviously gonna be a talking point on the slate.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: He should have run support, so I get it. Nola
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I think is fine. The winds should help Nola is
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: well there in Wrigley with the wind blown in there.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I want to see how many lefties that Chicago's gonna
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: throw at at Nola. Here, we obviously know, uh Nola's
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: great against righty's struggles, very very bad against left handed hitters.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: But Ian Hap, Bellastero's PCA, who's been ice cold to
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: start the year, and Michael Bush, so he's still going
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to get six righties where he has a thirty one
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: percent k rate. It's just I don't know, it's really
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: handcock because the only guy I'm kind of really sold
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: on in this top tier it's it's pretty pretty gross
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: in general. If you had to pick a couple of
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: guys up here, what would kind of be your your
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: your ranking man in this top tier?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I'm with you like all over this, Like Cease is
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: obviously the guy with the highest upside, but you never
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: know what you're gonna what Cease you're gonna get, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: you're playing into own and an expensive price tag. So
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have Hancock one with you after that. A
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: big problem with putting out someone else overseas is there's
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: just no one else I like, So it Ceas for me.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: But I don't think you have to spend up like
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I think you can, you know, pick another guy that's cheaper,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: which we'll we'll talk about in a little bit like
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely there, so we'll uh. I think for me
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: it'd be Hancock number one, for sure. I think Lugo
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: because I do think the Baltimore Bats get a little
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: ownership there as well, so I wouldn't mind. Lugo is
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: just kind of a pivot off a season. Then Ses
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: obviously three. If you had to pick a fourth, it
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: would probably be Elder over Nola for me, just playing
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: in ownership, same exact price point. Both both have issues there,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: but yeah, for me, it's really Hancock's my favorite by
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: far up there. And then let's go down below eight
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: K where we got to talk about Red Detmers, right,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Red Detmers chalk see Debtmers is probably the cash game pairing.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: That's what everyone's gonna do. They're gonna go Dylan ce
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Reed Deptmers, Dodgers Blue Jay's bats because Blue Jays are
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: free on offense obviously, Dodgers seven implied run total in
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Coors Field, no surprise, best offense, best hitting environment in
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: all of baseball. So how do you do that? You
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: play a reed Dept. Maers, who has shown great stuff
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: all year. I was on him in his start against
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: the Yankees and he absolutely mowed them down. So Deptmer's obviously,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's not much to say. Ownership is the
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: only issue there that that you can kind of start
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: talking about. But again, we're starved for pitching on the
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: slate Blue Jays. They haven't struck out a lot against
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: left handed pitching. But I mean the team's hitting for
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: an fifty one ICEL, their woe was not great. They
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: do have some good guys in there that do walk
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: a lot. Dept. Maer's gonna keep the ball on the
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: ground for the most part. They're not really gonna get
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: hit hard much, so I get it right. But there
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: is some other guys down here I think that are interesting.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Max Meyer up at the top, I think he's interesting.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Jesse Schulten should have right in line with majority of
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: the rest of the slate in terms of pitch counts there.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: He was really good in his last start in terms
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: of relief there, the red strikeout a ton, So I
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: don't mind Jesse Schulten's there. Who should have What about
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: an eighty five pitch limit somewhere somewhere in there, which
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: is fine for his price point. And then I want
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: to talk about jt gin direct pivot right off of
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: reed Debt Meers. We know what getting struggles with. He
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: struggles with lefties. The Mariners are going to throw some
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: lefties at him. But again, it's that ballpark, it's the
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: direct pivot there. So what do you see down here below? Ak?
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I threw a couple of names out. What's kind of
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: your favorite? What's your rankings? What are you looking at here?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, on paper, it's clearly debt Meers, and I
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: agree like Jake Swelle says, Debtmer's chalk is gross, But
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's just the DFS sentiment on whoever's
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: choppy that night unless they're like, really really good, And
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Debtmers is good. He's certainly not like an ace. He's
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: just too cheap for his talent and how he's hits
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: so far this season. His underlying numbers are really good,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: his strikeout numbers are good. He's just too cheap here.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, there's a lot to like about me. You're here.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: You talked for a second, Sorry about the baby in
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: the background.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Oh no, no, you're good dead life is getting the
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: best of the best of man over there. Yeah, I
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: mean Deptmer's the really the argument going against him is
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the ownership, right, But I mean we just made points
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: against every pitcher really on the slate, So you're still
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: gonna have to play a guy. I think playing Deptmers
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: differently than what the field's gonna do. Play Deptmers without
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Cease or without a guy like Aaron Nola, right, Play
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: play Deptmers with a guy like Kyle Bradish or Emerson
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Hancock right. Definitely Kyle Bradish or Seth Lugo. Right, you
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: get a same similar roster construction ninety eight hundred and
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: ninety six hundred between Seas and Lugo, who knows he
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: could walk himself right up this game, you get Seth Lugo, who. Yeah,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: medium projections wise is a terrible play one for one
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: on paper, right, But at the end of the day,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: projections don't mean everything in baseball, Right, we play this
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: game all the time. We see these guys failing in
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: great matchups, et cetera. Everything. So if you want to
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: play differently, play Detmers without Dylan Cees and do a
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: different roster construction, or like I said, maybe you go
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: a Deptmers and nobody above a K and you go
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: like a Max Meyer or a Jesse Schultens something like that,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: you get a completely different roster construction on what the
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: field's doing. So I'm not I can't really say Dept.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Meers and Handcock by far and away or my two
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: favorite pitchers on the slate in terms of K props.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Looking at him as well, Deptmers five and a half
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: k prop heavy juice to the over, which is in
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: line with the best on the slates there. So I
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: like him a ton. JT. Gin I do think is
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: interesting as a pivot there. Gin's still sitting at a
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: four and a half K prop juice to the over.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: The ballpark boost is going to help him out as well.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Getting away from Sacramento and pitching out there in Seattle,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: which obviously we love to play pitchers out there. Seattle
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: hasn't been great to impress me either. That's another case
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: where you can play both sides, definitely in tournaments, but
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: if you are looking for a pivot, I think J. T.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Ginns fairly interesting. And then I like those other guys
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: up at the top, Max Meyer, Jesse Schulten's are kind
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: of the main guys I'm looking at. But what do
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: you see here?
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, I'm with you there, Like I like those
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: guys certainly, especially because, like the pitching that does look
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: good on this late comes with flaws. So like Detmer
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: is gonna be really highly owned, but that's mostly because
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: of his price tag. Like Toronto, I don't think as
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: a team we're gonna be picking on all season. They
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: haven't started out great, but they absolutely annihilated Ryan Nelson yesterday.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I think the first eight guys got on base in
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: that game for them, they were he was out of
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: that game, like in the first inning. I believe maybe
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that gets them going ray. Detmer certainly isn't infallible getting
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: hit so all of a sudden, we talked about it
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: with Cease, talk about it with Detmers. All of a sudden,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: if this game is a little bit more offensive minded
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: than I think the field thinks, then the other pitchers
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: start to look better. Just naturally. Your gain point makes sense.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: He's cheap, massive ballpark upgrade. I'm struggling with Shulton's here, Like,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I think he's definitely in play, no doubt about it.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: We saw Bailey ober dominate this Red team yesterday. I'm
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: also not completely buying what he's selling. I like how
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the Reds got going late yesterday, and I think they're
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: in play as a stack. But if you're not playing
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: them as a stack, I think he's definitely in play.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And then Robleski like, I'm not on him. I don't
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: like him, I don't want to play him, but he's
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: so cheap, and this Colorado team has just been so
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: god awful at home against left handed pitching, it's hard
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: to not at least have him in the pool. So
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I think all these guys look like reasonable pivots off
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: of debt Meers, who looks the best on paper.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's really gross. In general, the pitching
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: slate here is is absolutely atrocious, and that's why maybe
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: it's probably just the best to play Cease and Debtmer's.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: But when the pitching and when we poke holes in
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: those guys even this is this is where my kind
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: of tournament brain comes into play and just says, Okay,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: if pitching is gross for everybody, well then we're probably
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: gonna even see higher condensed ownership on the two quote
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: unquote guys that feel like the best. So now you
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: have inflated ownership, and you have ownership on some of
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: these other guys, these secondary options, guys like Hancock, Aaron, Nola, Bradish, Elder,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: these other guys that are getting played a little bit,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: but nothing crazy. I think you see those guys come
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: down and those other guys cease in Debtmers in particular
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: kind of steam up even higher. Right, So if that's
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: the case, I mean there's still sixteen pitchers on this slate.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: We poke toes in every one of them on the slate, right,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: So if that's the case, taking shots on guys like
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Alugo who's overpriced, the Kyle Bradish who's overpriced, Rice Elder
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: who's overpriced, a Max Meyer pitching in that ballpark there
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: in Miami, which we obviously love to target. The Cardinals
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: aren't up and on offense in general, burned a lot
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: of people yesterday, obviously burned a lot of people a
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: lot of times so far in the slate, they're gonna
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: be an offense that a lot of times we're gonna
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: pick on with pitchers. Max Meyer is nothing crazy by
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: any means, but he's seventy six hundred. Not many people
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: are playing them Jesse Schulten's looking at this lineup that
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: that the Reds throughout, it's a struggle for me because
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, the dude has a thirteen percent k rate
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: to right handed pitcher or right handed hitters. Obviously, it's
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: a very very limited sample. We don't have a lot
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: of metrics on this guy between this year and last year.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: On Schulten's he's kind of sitting around above league gaverage,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: right around twenty five percent k rate to both sides
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: of the plate. The Reds throughout eight right or seven
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: rities against him as well, which obviously have have kind
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: of tattooed him a little bit to start the year there.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: So I'm with you there, but it's just we're starved
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: for pitching. So yeah, Robleski, I think it's fine. The
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Rockies have just absolutely have been miserable. But do I
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: want to throw a picture who I don't really believe
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: in a lot and then add in the course field
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: park as well, I don't think so for me, say
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: a lot to say, Hancock's my favorite, Debtmers is my
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: second favorite. Dylan Cees probably just because of the nature
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: of the pitching slate, probably slots in third. I'll go Bradish, Lugo,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Meyer Gin those are kind of the main guys I'm
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: looking at, but it's it's very gross. What do you
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: see here?
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you could really order them like however,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: and I wouldn't have that big of an argument with you. Man.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: It's tough because, like I don't particularly like any of them,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: but I don't dislike any of them, especially in the
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: context of like this particular slate. So I'll say Debtmer's
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: one there, man, Like I get Seattle, I get playing
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Seattle here, but I get playing again, so I'll go
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: get here to same thing with Robleski, Like I'm not
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: going to play him, but I understand the sentiment of
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: playing him, so he'd be three. I'm just not buying
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: what Shulton's is selling. His expected numbers are far worse
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: than his actual numbers. I kind of like Cincy in
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: this spot, so I'm lower on him, I think, than
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: you are. But it's not like you, Well you just
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: went over how you didn't really like him because all
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: the righty's they're throwing out, so seems like we're both
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: kind of off him. Yeah, I think that's it for me.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think i'd want you know, if I were
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: playing one fifty, I wouldn't be crossing guys out. But
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: if I were playing even like twenty lineups, I think
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I'd probably still want to keep my pitching pool kind
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: of limited and just like plant my flag so to speak,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: on certain guys.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you there, Schultz does have a four
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: and a half k prop. Juice to the over slight. Well,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: it's more juice to the under, but kind of right
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: there in line with Gain I'd just rather side with
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: again in my opinion here, I do want to hit
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: on our guy Danny here asking if the core comes
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: with ownership as well. I'm gonna go ahead and show
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: you here. So if you go to shiptnation dot com,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: go to join the Nation here it shows you everything.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: So if you have never signed up at ship the
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Nation yet trials, your best at option here comes with
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: all of this for all sports. If you already have
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: used this and you've signed up before and you just
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: want baseball, clicking over to single sport going to MLB,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: this shows you everything. Here MLB plus Optimizer, you get
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: all of this ownership projections, all of our stone which
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: we're going to showcase here in a second Sabersim with
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: ability build up one hundred for the lineups and late
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: swap for forty nine dollars a month, so cheapest all
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: and rate in the industry. You can't even go to
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Saber sim and get saber Sim alone by itself for
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: less than one hundred bucks. So if you want that,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: if you want all of our sports everything we have
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: to offer, with an optimizer starters your best pack one
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirty nine dollars a month, you get all

  Speaker 3: of this and it breaks it all down for you.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: So it's very easily on the site. If you want
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: to go there and check it out. Everything's uh shows
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: you exactly what you get. There's no surprises in terms
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: of that. So check over there, Danny. It will help
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: you out. But the best would be the to do
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: the trial for nineteen dollars if you have not checked
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: us out over at ship at nation dot com. Yeah,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: pitching is gross kind of the sentiment. Let's jump over
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: and talk hitting. See if we can't find some offensive
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: spots here here the target and I won't throw anything
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: off the table with stacking against any of these pictures
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: on this slate, regardless of who they are or who
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: the teams are just that's the that's kind of the
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: slate we have. This is a great MMM slate in
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: my opinion, just because there's so many there's so many unknowns. Right,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: we just talked through the pictures. Neither of us really
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: liked anyone outside of Emerson Hancock for the most part, Dept. Meers.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: But Detmos is coming with the ownership ceases, coming with
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: massive ownership. That's definitely cash game pairing. So let's see
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: if we can't find some avenues here in terms of offense.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Obviously we're gonna talk about Corus Field later, but first
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: game to kick us off here, Jesse Schulten's rhet Lauder
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: on the Mountier Reds Rays. I mean, not a great
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: game from an offensive standpoint here, but decent total in
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: this one. They're back at their home home park, which
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: isn't a great hitters park either in the Rays. What
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: do you see here? Reds and Reds and raising.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, Like, on paper, this doesn't look
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: like a good offensive spot, but I think you can
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: lean into the Reds upside just in general here and
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: the lack of ownership. They're gonna be very low owned.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't really be owned anyways. But then you throw
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: in there on the same slate as the Dodgers and Corps,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: you know they're gonna be miniscule owned. Ellie over six
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: k is gonna be really loaned. He's got plenty of
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: upside no matter where they're playing. I think playing since
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: he just kind of plays into the unknown of Schulten's
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: and in large field tournaments, I think that there's a
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: path for them them to get there. Smaller field stuff
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: a little bit hard to plant your flag there, just
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: giving the nature of this slate, but I think they're
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: one of many offenses that look pretty good from a
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: contrarian standpoint, and I think you can make the same
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: case for Tampa here.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't love the park, but again I'm looking
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: for teams outside of obviously Course Field, which we're gonna
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: talk about, and then probably the Braves in the Blue Jays,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: which everyone really wants to go to. The Blue Jays
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: for sure, just because of their price points, and they're
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: out there in Anaheim facing a pitcher who I don't
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: really like to attack, so that's an interesting place to
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: navigate there. It's just mainly their prices are driving their
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: ownership as secondary stacks to go with the Dodgers, which
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: everyone wants to play. But I think the Rays are
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: really interesting here. Both sides of this game actually are
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: interested to me. Shulton's I can poke holes. He struggled
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: big time to start the year against right handed pitching.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: And then you add in the bullpens, which I think
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: is a huge, huge thing to talk about, especially on
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: a slate like this where we're looking for offenses that
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: can mitigate the Dodgers. What the Dodgers are gonna do
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: or potentially do. You look at the Rays third worst
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: bullpen in baseball in terms of x FIP, tied tied
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: for second worst behind Chicago, and then you look at
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: you look at Cincinnati, six worst in terms of x FIP,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: So both bullpens are not good. You look at the
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: how the bullpens have been doing over the weekend in
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: terms of their their usage. Cincinnati used four of their
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: relievers yesterday, five on Saturday, four again on Friday. They're
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: pretty taxed in general. And then you you look at,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: excuse me, you look at us the Tampa bullpen, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: it's more of the same. Right, So both bullpens are
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: not good. They're taxed, especially Tampa's bullpen. I mean sixty
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: to fifty three forty five thirty one pitches from four
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: other guys in that bullpen. So I'm in on offense,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I think more so than pitching in this game. And
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: these teams are going to be unowned and and I
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: think these are guys are good separators in general. So
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: you want righties against Shulten's obviously the red Seed that
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: as well, and you got Elie day La Cruz or
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Elite spend up off of those Dodgers at similar price
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: points there, so we always know he can he can
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: steal two or three bases in a game, let alone
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: the upside that he brings. So I like them. I
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: like the offense in this game actually more than I
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: originally thought. Coming in Bullpark sucks, I get it, but
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: both bullpens are bad. I don't believe in either of
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: these starters, so that's that's a case to stack them up.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: I don't really have individual target players on either team.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: I'm just stacking it up and looking for looking for offense.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: So so I like offense quite a bit in that one. Overall.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not it's not like, yeah, I would it's
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: more of a Yeah, it's more of a stack for me,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: just because I don't see a glaring specific target.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Obviously, you want lefties against louder So Jonathan Randa, Saddi
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Mullins right come to the top of the mine for
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: the Rays. But again with an added bullpen right there,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: they're gonna be both sides. So it's just a full stack.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Not not getting hung up on oh I left this
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: guy out or I need to include this guy. It's
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: just more of a full stack. Chandler Simpson another speedster
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: obviously can steal a bunch of bases there. So yeah,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I like offense in that one a decent amount, more
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: more than I thought coming in next spot, Cardinals Marlins
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: ballpark sucks again here. Max Meyer have have a decent
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: amount of interest in pitching from a pitching perspective on him,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: just due to the ballpark and the lack of pitching
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: options we have down there outside of Dept. Merz in
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: that price here. McGreevy not a guy I like. I
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: don't think he's good. I think the Marlins are pretty
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: sneaky here, even in this ballpark. They score runs. They
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: scored runs yesterday. I don't think we're going to see
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: a ton of home runs and in that so you
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: don't need that. Though, guys like Jacob Marcy, Kyle Stowers
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: back in this lineup, helps Otto Lopez at shortstop at
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: forty two hundred never gets played. It always has upside.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Liam Hicks had been absolutely mashing. His price is tough
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: to play all these Marlins when you look at them,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: they seem over priced, but they don't strike out. They're
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: a contact heavy team. They put the ball in play.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: We know the Gardinals bullpen is terrible. Mcgreevy's terrible. So
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: I'm in on the Marlins on this one. Not much
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: interest myself in the Cardinals. Weatherholts I think is a
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: fine one off Burlison, but those guys are pricey. Jordan Walker,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: I think would probably be my favorite, just due to
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: the outfield eligibility and in forty six hundred isn't quite
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: top tier compared to like a Burlasen or a weather
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Holt or something like that. But what do you see here,
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Marlins and Cardinals.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're on the exact same page again. I think
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: the Marlins are real sneaky here. I wrote in the
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: slate plan like, yeah, if the Dodgers, like the Marlins
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: upside here, can't match the Dodgers in cores if the
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Dodgers go off, but you could say that about damn
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: near every other team on this slate. So like, if
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: you're not playing the Dodgers, I think the Marlins are
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: totally reasonable stacked to lean into. McGreevy stinks this is
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: a guy who's numbers who's clearly, you know, due for
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: some negative regression in the You know, it might not
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: be to night, but it certainly could be. His underlying
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: numbers just simply aren't good. The Marlins have been good
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: against right handed pitching. You mentioned, they don't strike out,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: they steal a ton of bases, So you throw that
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: upside in there, they're not going to be owned. I
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: like them a lot here. I think they're definitely a
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: stack you can play again. They're upside here, won't match
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, but you could say that about basically every
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: other team on the slate, So I think you can
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: play them with the Dodgers. I think you can play
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: them without them. The Marlins look good here. I'm with
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: you on Saint Louis Meyer has been like more solid
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and spectacular and he's been to me a little bit underwhelming,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: but I certainly still respect him enough where I'm not
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: looking to stack a team like Saint Louis against him
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: on this slate. It's the Miami side for me.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you there. You're adding the Cardinals bullpen
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: being fifth worst in baseball plus their text. I mean,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: every guy in this rotation in their bullpen has thrown
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: at least twenty four pitches in the last three days,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: top end approaching forty, right, So those guys are probably
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: out due to unless necessity. So you're gonna get a
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: tired bullpen, which is not a good bullpen, and a
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: team like the Marlins, who are contact heavy will run
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: in steel bases. So yeah, sign me up. I like
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: the Marlins a lot here on this slate and no
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: ownership to come with it, so yeah, sign me up. Tournaments,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: I love the Marlins there, Braves Nationals. If there is
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: a quote unquote Dodgers pivot, this is where everyone's gonna
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: run to Atlanta facing Jake Irvin. We've picked on Jake
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Irvin every single time. Nationals bullpen is terrible as well.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Braves offense on paper is really good. They've been good
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: to start the year. I think there is some pinchhiit
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: concerns in this lineup a little bit, but not too
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: much to worry about in general. Braves on paper seem
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: like the best quote unquote pivot off the Dodgers, but
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: it's not gonna be sneaky. This is where everyone's running,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: not to say it's crazy because the Dodgers ownership is
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: gonna be so far ahead of everyone else on the slate.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: I'm in on the Braves. I like the Braves quite
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: a bit. What do you see here, National Nationals and Braves.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Braves are like the other team that probably
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: has the upside to match the Dodgers in this spot.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: So if you want to play them over the Dodgers,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I get it. I think the ownership will be will
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: be there, like they'll be the second highest on team
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: on the slate, but they should be. Jake Irvin obviously
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: you can pick on him, and the Braves offense has
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: been very good to start the season, and that's no surprise.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Up and down. They've got a good lineup with power,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: So I can totally see leaning into the Braves here.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna get like an owners The
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: only ownership discount you'll get is from the Dodgers being encorsed,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: but they'll still be owned, so know that they're still
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: a great play.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. There not much to not much
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: to say. It's not going to be sneaky by any means,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: but again, pretty much everything. Ownership really doesn't matter on
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: anything on the slate outside of the Dodgers, right, So,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Jake Irvin, a guy you want to pick on lefty
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: bats is what you want. Dom Smith, Olsen, Baldwin, Elbie's
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: would be the main guys. I look at Yustremski and
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Harris would be next, but not a big Michael Harris guy.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: But yeah, there's a lot upside in this. In this lineup,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: can't fault anyone full nine at bats, bad bullpen as well,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: so all things point to there. I think the Nationals
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: are fairly sneaky as well. I'm not a believer in
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Bryce Elder. It's probably not a spot to pick on him.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: But if you wanted a James Wood, who's one of
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: the hottest hitters in baseball sixty two hundred, nobody's playing
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: that price point when it got guys like Kyle Tucker,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: at the same same place. C. J. Abrams always has
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: the threat to steal any time he's he's on base.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: I get it, he's fifty nine hundred. But James Woods,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: cj Abram, Luis Garcia has been really, really good in general.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: He's just a guy that I always love. He's always cheap,
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: nobody ever plays him. I get it his first base,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: and first base is a pristine position, right, guys like
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman obviously, Matt Olsen, right Otani, things like that.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: But a guy like Luis Garcia thirty four hundred hitting second,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: I don't hate that. Dalan Leile has been Ben Salid,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: so it'd be more the top five guys for the
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Nationals that I'm looking at, but you do get two
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: cheap guys there at the back twenty five catcher. Second
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: base is a shitty position, nunya, as it can steal bases,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: So Nationals do have some upside here. The issue is
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: that the Braves bullpen's been really good, so I'm not
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: going to full stack the Nationals, but James Wood, C.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: D Abrams, Louis Garcia, those guys have tons upside I
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: think here in chalk your teams next game on the
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: slate Orioles Royals Kaufman Stadium. Win's gonna be blown out
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: here almost fifteen miles an hour. This park is going
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: to play very hitter friendly. With the new fence there
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: where they didn't move it in, It's not going to
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: be super warm, But in terms of hitting environments, this
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: is right up there with the best of the slate
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: in regard to Corrs Field, just due to that stadium logo.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Bradis two arms that I think you could play, but
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: two arms you can also stack against here when you
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: add in the bullpen, I lean the Royals a little
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: bit more Royals are I mean the Orioles bats. Royals
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: bullpens seventh worst in baseball in terms of x FIP
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: to start the year. Baltimore actually leads the league in
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: terms of x FIP. So tougher for me to get
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: on the Royals and they've been really bad. Yeah, you
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: can always play a Bobby with of nyp He's been terrible,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: but he's fine. Carter Jensen would be my favorite play.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: I think just a lefty that mashes are Michael Massey
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: twenty four hundred, where you don't have to save salary.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: But Orioles are more interesting for me from a DFS side.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: But what do you see here?
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with you like this is a classic play both
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: sides spot because you've got really good hitting weather here.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Two pictures that are good. Certainly Lugo is better than
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: bradish but two pictures that if they don't have their
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: best stuff can certainly give up power. So like, if
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: the weather weren't really hit or conducive here, I might
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: be backing off this game a little bit more, but
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: it is so I think like Lugo and the Orioles.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I could see leading into Lugo. I could see leaning
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: into the Orioles, you know, Lefty power here or just
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: their power in general, their power. Their lineup sets up
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: really well, gets right handed pitching, so I think they've
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: got real upside in this spot. And then Lugo himself,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: we talked about how weak the pitching options were tonight,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: so he certainly has a role in the slate as well.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: It's weird. I feel like I like both Lugo and
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: the Orioles more than I like the Royals and bradish I.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Just Casey and Baltimore aren't really doing it for me here,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: or Casey and bradish I think I like Brett like
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: the Royals a little bit more than I do Bradish
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: just because of the weather. But they've been so uninspiring.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: This ballpark should play a lot more hitter friendly this season,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I could see playing either side
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: of this game. Baltimore looks more appealing just because of
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: their upside. I think that like Kansas City scores four
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: or five runs more often than Baltimore does in this spot,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: but I think Baltimore scores like seven eight runs more
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: than Kansas City does in this spot. If that makes sense.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you there. Plus you get to add
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: at bullpen metrics, right, we have a decent enough sample
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: to rely on, and Baltimore has been really really good.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: I mean two point eight nine x fit on the year,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: which is by far and away. It's them in Toronto,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: even ahead of San Diego, but it's really San Diego,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Toronto Baltimore far and away the best bullpen metrics to
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: start the year. One home run per nine for the
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Baltimore bullpen, I mean Kate pernine sitting over eleven. So
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: it's just gonna be really tough for the Royals to
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: get there. In my opinion, I would like the Carter Jensen,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: like I said, I think is good. Just the dude
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: is absolutely mashed right handed pitching to start the year.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Outside of that, nobody else on this team has really
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: hit regardless of the handedness. So Carter Jensen by far
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: and away my favorite play. Like I said, you don't
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: really want to glaringly pick on Seth Lugo, but I
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: mean if you expand the lens to this year and
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: last year, I mean lefty power or lefty bats in
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: general have given Lugo fits, you're gonna get one, two, three, four,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: five lefties projected in here. I don't see a confirmed
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: line up yet maybe I missed it, but Gunner Bassalo Taveres, Beavers, Cowser,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: and then you got Jeremi Jackson who's red hot right now,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: and Pete Alonzo, Taylor Ward. So yeah, I'm in on
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: the on the on the Orioles more so than than
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: the Royals in general. So yeah, I like the Orioles here. Phillies, Cubs,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Colin Ray, Aaron Nola, Colin Ray kind of just a
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: contact guy in general, not really a big strikeout guy. Phillies,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: good lineup weather here in Wrigley not conducive to hitting.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: But again, there's just not great spots on the slate
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: outside of cors Field, which obviously everyone wants to play.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: But in terms of this game, fifty degrees in in Wrigley,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: some slight wind blown out there, but not a great
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: hitting environment. What do you see here, Nola Ray, Cubs, Phillies.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think this is definitely one where not
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: much looks appealing. But Philly is certainly much better as
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: an offense than Rays him than Ray is himself, so
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: like leaning into just how talented Philly is is in play.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: They're expensive, hard to prioritize them over the Di the Braves,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: but the field isn't going to prioritize them either, and
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: it's baseball, and their offense still has a ton of upside,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: So that's the case in this game. The Cubs, I
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: don't think nolah is great anymore, but with the weather here,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: I don't really like them as much as I would
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: the Phillies and tournaments. Mostly this is just a stay
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: away spot from all sides.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Though, Yeah, stay away spot for me on all sides too, huh.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: I'm with you. There. Two of the top ten bullpens
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: in the League here in the Cubs, in the Phillies,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: not great hitting environment, just not a spot. Obviously, you
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: can always play Harper, you can always play Schwarber. Bush
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Ian Happ would probably be my favorite bat in general
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: from this game. He's just been solid, doesn't really strike out,
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: can get you some soul in bases, occasionally hit you
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: a home run or two. So yeah, that's that's my
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: kind of preferred spot. I do want to hit on
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: our friend here fanatic in the chat saying, these dudes
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: are trying to put you on trash. Well, let me
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: just tell you here, Go play Dylan Ceas, go play
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: red dat Mers, stack the dot and fill it in
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: with cheap Blue Jays, and hold hands with everyone else.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: We're trying to make money. We're trying to win. We're
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: not trying to mind cash right right, We're trying to
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: ship tournaments right up at the top of the leaderboard there.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: So hey, there's plenty of other shows across the industry.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Go out there and uh and check those out. Our
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: show could have been done before we even jumped on.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: We could have typed in the chat, played the Dodgers,
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: play seats, play debt meurs, and print your money. Right,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: we're trying to find angles to attack on a slates
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: where we're all playing tournaments, right, we're not playing cash games.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: So did want to just note that, but make sure
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: you hit that like button on the way out before
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: you leave next game. Game, we have to talk about
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty two percent combined ownership on a stack.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever seen that in MLB. When
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I ran the dry Run, I got ninety nine percent
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Dodger stacks. Obviously, Dodgers highest likelihood to score the most
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: amount of runs. They're in the fourth day of facing
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: the Rockies. In course, the Rockies pitching staff's not great.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: We got Jose Quintana's starting for US, Rocky's bullpen's ass.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, Dodgers, obviously, they're not not much to say,
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: stack them up, all play them all. It's just I
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: don't what do you want to say here, Dodgers, Rockies
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: course field.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's honestly nothing to say. I'm with you, like,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: they're obviously the top stack on the Boardintana's been a
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: good picture throughout his career. He's not a gas can
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: that yet have to stack against every time he's on
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: a slate, But this Dodgers lineup is obviously insane. Everyone
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: knows it. They're in cores against the mediocre lefty. If
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: you're not playing them, it should be in large part
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: due to ownership. So I get that. It's baseball. Weird
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: things play out. If you give me the Dodgers or
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: the field, I'm gonna take the field every slate tonight.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: It's no exception. It's just a matter of it's not
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: that easy, Like you still got to get the top
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: stack right, So I don't know, like they're just again
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I've said more than I probably needed to here, they're
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: the top stack by a mile. If you're not playing them,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: it's due to ownership. And that's totally valid, especially in MLB,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: In all dfs, it's valid, especially in the sport like MLB.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you there, I'm definitely on This is
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: probably the most interest I've had all season for coors Field.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Quentin has just been absolutely miserable to start the year.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Offenses week on the slates. I already don't like cease
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: much at the top. There's enough low own arms. I
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: think you can get differently and just don't play the
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: cheap Toronto bats that everyone is gonna play with the Dodgers,
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: So I mean, it's not much more to say Dodgers.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm more in on the Dodgers here than
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: I have been in any of these cours slates or
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: the when the Yankees were to make a chalk like
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: this is the best spot in my opinion that I
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: feel the best about here, just because I think I
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: can make pivots in other spots in terms of different
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: roster construction than what the field. I will say, though,
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: the Rockies bullpen's been damn good. I mean twenty fourth
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: in terms of x FIP, which is sixth best in
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: the league. They've been a lot better. So yeah, I mean,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: obviously if they jump on Quintana for six in the
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: first first inning or seven or whatever like yeah, but yeah,
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: I think I said enough there in terms of the Dodgers.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Don't need us to tell you. Shout out to our
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: guy in the chat saying these guys don't are trying
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: to put you on trash. Well there, you go play
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers and print your money at the end of
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: the night. Thank us later. On the Rocky side, though,
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: Jordan Beck Goodman, I mean some one off power against Robleski.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's the worst play, but yeah, it's
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: definitely Dodgers or busting this game. I do have a
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: little bit more interest in some of the Rockies, just
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: more mini stacks. I know they've been miserable to start
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: the year against left handed pitching, but if you look
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: at last year they've been they've were fairly serviceable against lefties.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: Goodman smashed backs, Ben solid, Brenton Doyle has power, Tovar.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're not the worst plays, but any anything
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: to add on the Rocky side, No, I.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Think they're definitely in play here. Oh man, I'd like
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: them more real quick. Do you know what their ISO is?
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: We kind of talked about this earlier, but I won't
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: even ask you. They've a zero ISO at home against
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: left handed pitching. So far this year, they do not
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: have one extra base hit. That's sad. Now, it's like
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: sixty played appearances or something like that, So you you know,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: take that with a large grain of salt, and maybe
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: the numbers even out. You know, baseball is a big
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: numbers sport, like they're certainly not going to finish with
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: the zero ISO. You know, with those numbers all year.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: So uh yeah, I think that the Rockies certainly have
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: a role in the slate. Robleski is a bad spot
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: for him. He's been okay so far, he's been pretty good,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: but he doesn't strike anyone out. You're playing to contacting cores.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: The Rockies can easily get to him.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I just think there's I mean this
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: significant of an ownership gap. I mean eighteen percent combined
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: stack ownership on the Rockies in one hundred and fifty
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: three on the Dodgers. I mean, we're playing the game
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: a lot. We're playing the game of averages and again
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: a leverage. You're telling me there's that big of gap
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: between these two teams on a one game sample in
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: course field, against a guy who doesn't strike anyone out,
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: he's got a ten percent k rate. I mean Tyler Freeman,
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Doyle Goodman, Tovar Beck, these guys can hit left handed pitching.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think the Rockies are a lot more
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: interested than what people are giving them credit for, at
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: least ownership wise. So yeah, that's course field. That's obviously
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: the biggest thing to get right, as it is much
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: almost any time it's on the slate, But definitely tonight.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've not seen this kind of ownership on
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: any team of cours that that we have here tonight.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: That just shows you the kind of slate we have
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: all offenses. Pitching is not great. Offense is not great
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: outside of one maybe two spots that everybody wants to
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: go to. So yeah, we're trying to talk talk through
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: the best we can. Next game on the slate, Blue Jays, Angels, Dept. Meers,
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: Dylan Cees. The chalk pairing here of definitely cash games,
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: probably a lot of tournament staples here is going to
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: be ceetep Meers, some Dodgers, and some cheap filler bats.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: But what do you see here any offense for you
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Toronto and Angels.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Probably not Like you have two of the better pitching
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: options today. The only reason we poked holes in them
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: mostly is because of the ownership. So outside of that,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: both the pitchers look good. You could make a case
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: because of ownership. Stagg in Toronto again, they got going yesterday.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: They're crazy cheap, you know. Dept. Meers isn't like infallible
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: to getting hit. So Toronto I think has a role
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: on this slate. The Angels, I don't like the spot
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: for them as much, but Ceases going to be even
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: higher on So I think the offenses are in play
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: just because of the ownership of the opposing pitchers. But
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: on paper, it's the pitching you want.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I'm with you there. It's baseball. You
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: can stack against anyone. You can play anyone on any
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: given slate. Again, the best players in the world fail
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: seven out of ten times. Talk about it all the time.
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: It's just not a great spot for me. I mean
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Vlad Ernie, Ernie, Clement, I mean those guys. But Clement's
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: gonna be super are super popular at his price points. Sosa,
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: if he's in, there's gonna be popular. David Schneider might
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: only see one or two at bats as soon as
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Alridy comes in, he's getting pulled. So Pinchick concerns there,
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: and I get it. Angels bullpen's not great. Toronto's bullpen's
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: really really good. So less interest in attacking Dylan Ceeze. Obviously,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: it's just more of not playing Dylan Cease. Doesn't mean
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go and stack up these Angels, but they
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: have power an anytime they're on the slate. It's just
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: not a great spot. Adding the bullpen, you have to
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: assume the game is gonna be fairly closer. You're gonna
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: get the better bullpet arms coming out as well from
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: both sides, but definitely Toronto. So yeah, not a spot
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: for offense for me really in that game, even though
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: the park does play above average. Yeah, you can find
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: an occasional home run here there, but I'm not gonna
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: try Cherry Pickett in in my lineups there. Last game
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: on the slate, Mariners Athletics Hancock, JT.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Ginn.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: I had interest in both these pitchers. Hancock's are number
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: one rate and pitcher over at ship a nation in
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: terms of our pitcher rankings. The A's strikeout a ton,
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: especially on the road. Not really getting to any A's here. Mariners,
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: though I do have some interest. Just Gain is just
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: absolutely atrocious against lefties. They're gonna throw a bunch of
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: lefties against him. Gin's more of a pivot off of
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: Detmer's there with some strikeout upside. I mean, this dude,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: I do still think is a serviceable arm. Long term
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: lefties is what you get. I mean, Cal Raleigh canzone relay.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Josh Naylor would be the main guys I'm looking at there,
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: But what do you see here to run us out?
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I like can't cock a lot,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: so I'm not interested in the a's here the Mariners, though,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: again you made the case for us a pivot off
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: debt mers, but that's all he really is to me.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Here the mirrors look good again. I struggled against lefties.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Luke Rayley is having a really good year so far.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: He's someone I would plow on the stack dom Can
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Zone to Northeast Ohio kids, So you know, I got
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: a little extra love in my heart for those guys.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: I like the Seattle lineup, and even though it's not
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: a ballpark that we love for hitting. I made the
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: case for the Reds earlier, and I think the Mariners
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: fall in that boat where they're just a good offense
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: against the pitcher who I think has still has a
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: lot of question marks and they're not going to be owned.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: So you know you mentioned cal Raley. His price tag
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: is the cheapest it's been in like what over a year,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot to like here. I think there's
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: upside in Seattle.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you want the lefties. I wouldn't play any of
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: these righties. J rod A Rose Rain are fine players
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: on their own and definitely in a stack, but I
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: want the lefties mainly, so yeah, I'm with you there,
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: lefty lefty Mariners. I think they're five stack viable just
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: due to the scarcity of offense we have outside of
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Coors Field, but more more minis power hunting. Donovan's been
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: really good to start the year. Riley's way too cheap
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: at forty six hundred. I think he's great. He's a
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: direct pivot off of Will Smith three hundred dollars, cheaper,
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: one sixth, one eighth the ownership, and and Goodman right,
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: so like he's right there, So yeah, I'm with you there.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: I like the lefties for the Mariners. That's all eight games.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: Very very interesting slate. This is one of the trickier
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: slates we've had in quite some time, in my opinion. Obviously,
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: that's why the Dodgers ownership is far and away higher
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: than anyone else on the slate. But I think I
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: think some of these other teams might might might get
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: their in tournaments. But your favorite pitching pairing, your favorite
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: two stacks, and then home run call if you have them.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So a couple of lineups came out with the
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Mariners lineup, just came out with Donovan out and Crawford
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: leading off again, so he's gonna look good Crawford at
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: least leading off. So I'm musa say my favorite pitching
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: combo is Hancock and Cease. Favorite stack, pretty sure, that's
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: what you ask me. Next, right, favorite stack, and then
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: home run call.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, favorite favorite overall stack, not including the Dodgers, obviously,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: everyone knows the Dodgers, So give to your next, your
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: second and third favorite stack behind the Dodgers obviously, and
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: then a home run call if you have them.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with that Marlin squad we talked about earlier.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: They've been good to me this year. I think they
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: look really good in this spot, and they're like pricey
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: enough that they're not going to get a lot of ownership,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: so people just don't want to spend up in that park,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: and I get it for the most part, but I
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: think this is the typeest slight where you can do it.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: Home run call we are going to go with. I
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: mentioned him earlier up to be contrarian guy Ellie de
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: la Cruz going yard today.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: I like that. I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: Handcock Dept. Mers. That's that's kind of where I like.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: I like Dept. Mars. I don't care about his ownership
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: really there, I'll go with the Braves because you didn't
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: mention them. I'll go to the Braves, and then I like, uh,
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: I like the Marlins with you too. But I also
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: think these Mariners are are pretty interesting. These lefties here
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: for for the Mariners, I think are are really interesting there,
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: So I'll go with them, and then my home run
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: call here I will go. I'm gonna go to Coursefield.
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to go to a Dodger. I'm going
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: to go to Jordan Beck. I expect Jordan Beck to
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: be in their thirty three hundred. Nice value, doesn't really
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: profit leading off for the Rockies against the left in
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: Robuski who pitches the contact, give me some Jordan Beck
• 54:04

  Speaker 3: me in baseball. Matt Any closing remarks before we get
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: out of.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: Here, No, man, a bunch of good spots that I
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: like this slate. So obviously you know that if you're
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: not playing the Dodgers that you could be smoked by
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: like real soon after that game starts. But even if
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: you do play the Dodgers and they go off, it's
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: gonna be a tough road to the top anyway, So
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: just know that going in.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's always the case, right anytime we have
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: heavy heavy ownership in course field with the team like
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers, you're gonna have to nail all five five
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: hitters correctly, just like you do every slate, but more
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: so in that right you're not gonna get away with
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: a guy who goes one for three with a walk,
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: a double, and a run scored, right, You're you're probably
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: not gonna get there right with, So just know that
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: going in again. We talked tournaments. We talk the easiest
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: path to the most amount of money, which is the
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: top of the board, and that's looking at some of
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: these other teams here. Obviously the Dodgers on paper are
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: the spot everybody should play. We all know that going in.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: Not to say you have to avoid it, you have
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: to play it. Obviously it's baseball. You can do anything.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: But yeah, good luck tonight in those contests format on AIDS.
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: We'll see you guys next time we're out of here.
