- 0:16Speaker 1: You gotta slip in your palm. Man, a hole in
- 0:20Speaker 1: your chicks, black coffee on the felt man, you look
- 0:23Speaker 1: like a mess.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Three teen Parlette turned the dust in your head.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Now you stare at the chips like they made you
- 0:32Speaker 1: this man.
- 0:33Speaker 2: But don't you go quiet. Don't you fade from the floor.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Your name steal means something on somebody for show.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Put the glass down, baby, look at me.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Now, hold on, hold on nothing nice not now, hold on.
- 1:00Speaker 4: Hold on me for.
- 1:06Speaker 1: That, but it'll get the crown.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on.
- 1:18Speaker 5: Stay with me. Now, what's up?
- 1:28Speaker 6: Everybody? It's towed back with you with Toadstool Sports, Tuesday,
- 1:33Speaker 6: July seventh, one and all on the show yesterday. So
- 1:37Speaker 6: I'm trying something different with my headphones here, but I
- 1:40Speaker 6: hear an echo behind me.
- 1:42Speaker 5: So I don't know what I want to do about this.
- 1:45Speaker 5: I'm gonna try to Yeah, that's better. I think. I
- 1:48Speaker 5: don't know. No, I feel like my like monitoring is
- 1:51Speaker 5: on a delay here. I don't know. This is not
- 1:53Speaker 5: not what I wanted.
- 1:54Speaker 6: This is not good. I might have to ditch this again. Ilogize.
- 2:00Speaker 6: I'm trying something new to try to like limit my
- 2:03Speaker 6: voice here, but it's just not working like I'm trying to.
- 2:06Speaker 5: I need to do direct monitoring.
- 2:07Speaker 6: I threw my scarlet over here and I was trying
- 2:12Speaker 6: to do it through windows, but it's just I don't know,
- 2:15Speaker 6: it's just not working right. But yes, we went one
- 2:17Speaker 6: and all on the show yesterday, Yankees won.
- 2:20Speaker 5: It wasn't as easy as it looked.
- 2:22Speaker 6: They didn't have many hits at all, like they were
- 2:23Speaker 6: winning the whole game. Once they scored on it was
- 2:26Speaker 6: nothing nothing. They scored three and they made it three nothing,
- 2:29Speaker 6: but they only had one hit at that point, so
- 2:32Speaker 6: it wasn't exactly what it looked like on the scoreboard.
- 2:35Speaker 5: They actually got out hit in the game.
- 2:37Speaker 6: But they finished off the game and they won five
- 2:39Speaker 6: to one, so we got the win with that. I'm
- 2:43Speaker 6: pissed it in that Belgium to my card, that was
- 2:45Speaker 6: my favorite of the soccer plays. That would have been
- 2:48Speaker 6: the next thing I would have added to my card.
- 2:51Speaker 6: You know, I know I was right about some other
- 2:53Speaker 6: baseball stuff too. What can you do, man, I mean,
- 2:56Speaker 6: when you're selective, you're gonna have opinions that you have
- 2:58Speaker 6: that are right and they just go un bet. But yeah,
- 3:03Speaker 6: I should have bet Belgium and that was just that
- 3:06Speaker 6: was such an easy win with Belgium, So congratulations to
- 3:10Speaker 6: SOB for that.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Yes, thank you, Gerald. What's up all right? I should be.
- 3:15Speaker 6: Yeah, like eight and three, nine and three with soccer,
- 3:18Speaker 6: and I'm only seven and three from leaving things on
- 3:20Speaker 6: the table. But I guess you know, at least one
- 3:23Speaker 6: of the wins was lucky, so whatever. We got a
- 3:25Speaker 6: lot of baseball today. I actually hate the baseball board today.
- 3:29Speaker 6: It is bad. There are a lot of undecided pitchers.
- 3:32Speaker 6: There are a lot of games that looked like they'd
- 3:35Speaker 6: be a game that I would play and they turned
- 3:37Speaker 6: out to not be, so I don't really like any
- 3:41Speaker 6: of this. We have a doubleheader with Milwaukee and Saint Louis,
- 3:44Speaker 6: which I assume is from some previous rain out that
- 3:47Speaker 6: these teams have had. I have no idea because these
- 3:49Speaker 6: teams also played yesterday Saint Louis return home for road trip,
- 3:53Speaker 6: and they did lose four to three yesterday. This is
- 3:57Speaker 6: gonna be really difficult to handicap because we have no
- 3:59Speaker 6: idea what's Saint Louis is doing with their pitching, Like
- 4:03Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure they used dustin May yesterday, so I
- 4:07Speaker 6: don't know what they're doing today. At this point, I
- 4:10Speaker 6: think Michael McGreevy is going to pitch one of these games,
- 4:12Speaker 6: but we have no idea which right now. The first
- 4:15Speaker 6: game is at two fifteen Eastern. It's that early because
- 4:18Speaker 6: there's a doubleheader here. It looks like Jacob Mizerowski is
- 4:22Speaker 6: going for Milwaukee in game one, you know. I mean,
- 4:25Speaker 6: these games are going to be almost impossible to predict.
- 4:28Speaker 6: Though Saint Louis used four relief pitchers yesterday. I mean,
- 4:31Speaker 6: I think we could assume Mizzerowski will do well, even
- 4:34Speaker 6: though he did have one really bad start recently. Milwaukee
- 4:37Speaker 6: used two relief pitchers. Milwaukee is the better bullpen here.
- 4:42Speaker 6: They are ranked ninth. Saint Louis is ranked twenty first.
- 4:47Speaker 6: Hitting wise, Milwaukee has been better as well, their eighteenth.
- 4:50Speaker 6: Saint Louis is sixteenth. Miss looks like he is going
- 4:55Speaker 6: in game one here, which it does look like that's
- 4:57Speaker 6: the case here, and that's why Milwaukee is a big
- 4:59Speaker 6: favorite at minus one ninety here or somewhere around there.
- 5:03Speaker 6: Eighty three percent of tickets eighty percent of the cash
- 5:05Speaker 6: on them, So the money is fading Milwaukee, and they're
- 5:09Speaker 6: a very public side.
- 5:10Speaker 5: But it's like, how can you fade Milwaukee.
- 5:12Speaker 6: And you don't even know who Saint Louis is putting
- 5:14Speaker 6: out there on the mound. I mean, I guess it's
- 5:17Speaker 6: just a value play basically, like the professional money is
- 5:20Speaker 6: basically just saying, well, we just think Milwaukee is gonna
- 5:24Speaker 6: be overpriced with Mizierowski on the mountain playing and simple.
- 5:27Speaker 6: I mean I dig deeper than that. I don't just
- 5:30Speaker 6: throw money on perceived value, like I need matchup stuff
- 5:34Speaker 6: to line up for me. Mizierowski's been really good. He's
- 5:37Speaker 6: still the cy young front runner in the NL one
- 5:39Speaker 6: point four to seven ERA point seven to eight, WHIP
- 5:43Speaker 6: one point three ERA on the road, really really good
- 5:46Speaker 6: stuff here. Uh, Like I said, he wasn't that well,
- 5:49Speaker 6: he wasn't even bad. Last time out of gat Cincinnati.
- 5:52Speaker 6: We got screwed on the show because I gave it
- 5:55Speaker 6: an under. In that game it was Mizierowski against Burns. Mizierowski,
- 6:00Speaker 6: we have five runs.
- 6:01Speaker 5: And four of them were unearned.
- 6:03Speaker 6: I mean, so he wasn't even bad in that game.
- 6:05Speaker 6: He had ten strikeouts. Just the fielding was awful for
- 6:09Speaker 6: the Brewers in that game. He does do well against
- 6:12Speaker 6: Saint Louis forty six at bats, two seventeen average, five
- 6:15Speaker 6: ninety one ohps. So I would not bank on him
- 6:17Speaker 6: pitching poor Lamb and that is not what I would do.
- 6:20Speaker 6: If you're gonna fade him, it's gonna be really just
- 6:23Speaker 6: that you're trying to get some value on Saint Louis.
- 6:26Speaker 5: But they really don't have too many edges year.
- 6:28Speaker 6: Like I showed you, Milwaukee, better team, better bullpen, better offense.
- 6:32Speaker 6: I mean, what more do you want? And McGreevy is
- 6:35Speaker 6: going to pitch one of these games most likely. I
- 6:38Speaker 6: don't know what Saint Louis is doing otherwise, but he's
- 6:40Speaker 6: been good for them three point one two ERA, one
- 6:43Speaker 6: point one to one WHIP. He's good at home one
- 6:45Speaker 6: point nine to six home ERA. He was pretty good
- 6:49Speaker 6: in his last two starts against Miami at home in Atlanta.
- 6:52Speaker 6: On the road, McGreevy doesn't strike a lot of guys out.
- 6:56Speaker 6: He's got a low hit rate though, and pretty low
- 6:59Speaker 6: walk rate too. He doesn't put guys on base, but
- 7:01Speaker 6: he doesn't strike them out. Milwaukee, though, hammers him seventeen
- 7:06Speaker 6: at bats, not a big sample size there before twelve average,
- 7:09Speaker 6: twelve sixty five ops, sixty three strike out walk ratio,
- 7:13Speaker 6: so that's not good. So McGreevy in whichever game he pitches,
- 7:17Speaker 6: definitely could be fatable here if he's pitching.
- 7:20Speaker 5: In game one.
- 7:21Speaker 6: Obviously I do not like Saint Louis if that is
- 7:24Speaker 6: the pitching matchup. I don't know if you could really
- 7:27Speaker 6: play Milwaukee there. But you know, again, I mean, this
- 7:30Speaker 6: is just a hard double header to figure out. Miss
- 7:34Speaker 6: by the way before I forget, obviously has a really
- 7:37Speaker 6: low hit rate, one of the lowest. Walk rate is
- 7:39Speaker 6: pretty low as well, and strike got rate is I
- 7:41Speaker 6: think maybe the highest in baseball.
- 7:44Speaker 5: So do what you want with all all that info.
- 7:47Speaker 6: The second game doesn't even have a line on it yet,
- 7:50Speaker 6: and neither team has announced a starter yet. There is
- 7:52Speaker 6: the possibility of a call up, because when you have
- 7:55Speaker 6: a double header, teams are allowed to call I think
- 7:58Speaker 6: maybe one or two guys up from the minors just
- 8:01Speaker 6: for that day, So keep that in mind. But you know,
- 8:04Speaker 6: I always also say with the doubleheader that a lot
- 8:06Speaker 6: of times I tend to look kind of towards an
- 8:08Speaker 6: over in Game two because the bullpen usage can be
- 8:11Speaker 6: really high in Game one. All things to consider, but
- 8:15Speaker 6: there's no way I'm touching either of those games. I mean,
- 8:17Speaker 6: there's just not enough information, dirty sock, what's up? Thanks
- 8:20Speaker 6: for hanging out all right? One second here, my dude,
- 8:26Speaker 6: I gotta do something. I'mbout my voice. My voice is
- 8:28Speaker 6: just so bad right now. I don't know what is
- 8:31Speaker 6: going on with this, and I'm trying to do something
- 8:34Speaker 6: so I can hear, you know, hear myself and fix this.
- 8:38Speaker 6: You know, I don't know what to do. I need
- 8:42Speaker 6: to do something where I can, like lower my voice
- 8:44Speaker 6: but monitor my own voice.
- 8:45Speaker 4: Here.
- 8:46Speaker 5: It's just not working out.
- 8:47Speaker 6: Next game is my only play in baseball, and I
- 8:51Speaker 6: don't even like it. I really don't, you know, I
- 8:55Speaker 6: was close to not even giving out a baseball play.
- 8:58Speaker 6: This board is just it's bad, and there are a
- 9:01Speaker 6: lot of undecided starters here. I'm gonna give out the
- 9:04Speaker 6: Chicago Cubs as a play here against Baltimore.
- 9:07Speaker 5: These two teams both rested yesterday.
- 9:09Speaker 6: Baltimore's returning home from a road trip, although it was
- 9:12Speaker 6: only a quick road trip to Cincinnati.
- 9:14Speaker 5: Now that's not that bad.
- 9:16Speaker 6: Usually I like to fade teams when they've been on
- 9:18Speaker 6: longer road trips and they're returning home. But still, I
- 9:22Speaker 6: don't think Baltimore is that good. I think Chicago is
- 9:25Speaker 6: better than they are. I still think it's a slightly
- 9:28Speaker 6: negative spot for Baltimore, and they did just lose a
- 9:30Speaker 6: win streak of I think three games with that loss
- 9:33Speaker 6: to the Reds, so maybe that will hang them over
- 9:36Speaker 6: a little bit. Meanwhile, Chicago salvaged the last game against
- 9:39Speaker 6: Saint Louis.
- 9:40Speaker 5: To end their losing streak.
- 9:41Speaker 6: That might give them some momentum going forward, and they're
- 9:45Speaker 6: starting a road trip here, so I think the Cubs
- 9:48Speaker 6: may be focus here in a spot like this. I
- 9:51Speaker 6: also like the starting pitching to favor the Cubs here.
- 9:54Speaker 6: We do have two rested bullpens, and the Cubs are
- 9:56Speaker 6: also the better bullpen, even though they haven't been that
- 9:59Speaker 6: good recently.
- 10:00Speaker 5: They're now twelve Baltimore is fourteenth.
- 10:02Speaker 6: But I still think the Cubs are the better bullpen,
- 10:05Speaker 6: so I will leave them in in a scenario where
- 10:08Speaker 6: both bullpen's arrest and I think Baltimore's closer is still
- 10:11Speaker 6: hurt too, but if all things go right here, they
- 10:14Speaker 6: shouldn't even be in a scenario where they want to
- 10:16Speaker 6: bring him in.
- 10:17Speaker 5: Cubs are the better offense their rank fifth.
- 10:20Speaker 6: Baltimore is seventeenth, and I like to starting pitching, like
- 10:24Speaker 6: I said, even though it's a little bit questionable with
- 10:27Speaker 6: Matthew Boyd here. I mean, I know his season numbers
- 10:30Speaker 6: don't look good. Five point eight RA, one point four whip.
- 10:34Speaker 6: Obviously that's bad. He's slightly worse on the road five
- 10:37Speaker 6: point one to nine ROADYRA. But if you look at
- 10:40Speaker 6: what he's done over the last couple of years, I mean,
- 10:41Speaker 6: I don't really know how it happened, but he came
- 10:44Speaker 6: from out of nowhere and he was really good for
- 10:46Speaker 6: Cleveland in twenty twenty four, although he didn't pitch much,
- 10:49Speaker 6: But then he had a full season last year for
- 10:51Speaker 6: the Cubs where he was really good. So I'm kind
- 10:54Speaker 6: of expecting him to to get back to something similar
- 10:58Speaker 6: to that, even though I know he's not young. He's
- 11:00Speaker 6: thirty five. He's coming back from injuries and stuff. He's
- 11:04Speaker 6: showing some signs of maybe getting a little better.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Here.
- 11:08Speaker 6: He's coming back from another injury where he missed almost
- 11:11Speaker 6: two months. He didn't do that well against the Mets,
- 11:15Speaker 6: did have four walks, and then he pitched against San Diego,
- 11:17Speaker 6: which I know those are basically the easiest matchups you
- 11:20Speaker 6: could have, but he pitched okay against San Diego. I
- 11:23Speaker 6: think he's gonna continue improving a bit here. And he
- 11:26Speaker 6: has good numbers against Baltimore, which I know, I mean,
- 11:29Speaker 6: I don't know how much weight we want to put
- 11:31Speaker 6: into this, but they've had thirty three at bats against him,
- 11:34Speaker 6: they only have two extra base hits doubles from Retchman
- 11:37Speaker 6: and Tavaras, thirteen strikeouts, one walk, two twelve average five
- 11:42Speaker 6: O eight ops. So he has really good numbers against Baltimore.
- 11:46Speaker 6: So I'm gonna lean into that a little bit. And
- 11:48Speaker 6: I'm also gonna fade Shane Bose on the other side,
- 11:50Speaker 6: even though he has the better looking numbers four point
- 11:54Speaker 6: one to ninety RA, one point three to seven whip
- 11:56Speaker 6: is not that good, though he is a little bit
- 11:58Speaker 6: better at home four point zero eight homeie Ira Boz
- 12:02Speaker 6: was pitching a little bit better throughout the last month
- 12:05Speaker 6: plus basically for the most part, but he's got some
- 12:08Speaker 6: issues here, man, Like his control is still kind of
- 12:10Speaker 6: a problem.
- 12:11Speaker 5: He walked four guys last time out.
- 12:14Speaker 6: He's got a pretty low hit rate basically, but his
- 12:17Speaker 6: walk rate is too high.
- 12:18Speaker 5: His strike cut rate's not really that good.
- 12:20Speaker 6: He's not a great pitcher, And really this is a
- 12:23Speaker 6: matchup play for me because his numbers against the Cubs.
- 12:25Speaker 6: I know it's a small twenty two at bat sample size,
- 12:28Speaker 6: but this is some bad stuff.
- 12:30Speaker 5: Five hundred batting.
- 12:31Speaker 6: Average, thirteen to forty oh ps, five to one strike
- 12:35Speaker 6: out walk ratio.
- 12:36Speaker 5: That's the only good thing about these numbers.
- 12:39Speaker 6: I basically had to I mean, this is all I
- 12:41Speaker 6: found on the board man, And as far as Boyd
- 12:43Speaker 6: is concerned, we just don't have a big sample size
- 12:46Speaker 6: this year to look at. So I think last year
- 12:49Speaker 6: is closer to an indicator of what he is than
- 12:51Speaker 6: this year. That would be the hope here at least.
- 12:54Speaker 6: But he does have a high hit rate, his walk
- 12:55Speaker 6: rates not excellent. His strike out rate is still there though,
- 12:58Speaker 6: so that is a good sign that he still has
- 13:01Speaker 6: more than one strikeout per inning this year. So that
- 13:03Speaker 6: should tell you that he does still have his stuff,
- 13:06Speaker 6: he has his strikeout ability.
- 13:08Speaker 5: So I'm gonna do it.
- 13:09Speaker 6: This is my only play, you know, I mean, it's
- 13:12Speaker 6: probably my least favorite of my plays today. It's a
- 13:16Speaker 6: short price on the Cubs. They got fifty nine percent
- 13:19Speaker 6: of ticket sixty two percent of.
- 13:20Speaker 5: The cash on them.
- 13:21Speaker 6: Maybe you worry a little bit because it looks too easy.
- 13:25Speaker 6: Maybe to play the Cubs here, I guess that would
- 13:27Speaker 6: be the worry, but they haven't exactly been playing great
- 13:30Speaker 6: baseball recently, so I don't know. I just felt that
- 13:33Speaker 6: the matchup was right, and the money looks like it's
- 13:35Speaker 6: slightly indicating in that same direction. So that's my only
- 13:38Speaker 6: baseball play. Maybe I should have just left the entire
- 13:43Speaker 6: baseball board alone.
- 13:45Speaker 5: A is at Detroit. Both teams were off yesterday.
- 13:47Speaker 6: Detroit is returning home from a road trip where they
- 13:50Speaker 6: were really good. They swept the Yankees in the Bronx
- 13:52Speaker 6: and then they took two out of three in Texas.
- 13:56Speaker 5: So this is a bad spot for Detroit.
- 13:57Speaker 6: They're returning home from the road, and you know, as
- 14:00Speaker 6: I reiterate over and over again, bad spot, you can
- 14:03Speaker 6: get distracted. You have to get back to home life whatever.
- 14:06Speaker 6: The A's are starting a road trip off a bad
- 14:10Speaker 6: sweep at the hands of Miami at home, so the
- 14:13Speaker 6: A's should be in a better spot. Like a lot
- 14:16Speaker 6: of times, teams will bounce back when they're doing bad
- 14:18Speaker 6: at home and they just get to get out of
- 14:19Speaker 6: there and go on the road. But there are some
- 14:21Speaker 6: issues if you want the A's here. Mostly that they're
- 14:24Speaker 6: pitching doesn't match up that well here.
- 14:27Speaker 5: Mostly the bullpen. Their bullpen's bad. Twenty fifth. Who are
- 14:33Speaker 5: we talking? I forget where? Oh Detroit.
- 14:35Speaker 6: Yeah, Detroit's bullpen is okay, they're at nineteenth.
- 14:39Speaker 5: The A's are the better offense, they're ninth.
- 14:41Speaker 6: Detroit is eighteenth starting pitching, though you could argue that
- 14:48Speaker 6: the A's are less like you could argue the A's
- 14:52Speaker 6: should be less of an underdog here than what they
- 14:54Speaker 6: are because the A's are going with JT. Gin and
- 14:56Speaker 6: he might actually be their best starting pitchers three point
- 15:00Speaker 6: four ERA one point two to three whip, which isn't amazing,
- 15:04Speaker 6: but it's not bad, especially consider he has to pitch
- 15:06Speaker 6: in the A's stadium, which is awful. Gin is actually
- 15:10Speaker 6: well suited for it because he induces a lot of
- 15:13Speaker 6: ground balls and he's been better on the road, which
- 15:15Speaker 6: makes sense because pitching in that stadium is really difficult
- 15:18Speaker 6: two point three to one road ra so he's in
- 15:22Speaker 6: his better of his home road splits. He had five
- 15:25Speaker 6: walks last time out against the Dodgers. That is a
- 15:27Speaker 6: little bit concerning. It's also concerning that he threw over
- 15:30Speaker 6: one hundred pitches for the first time this year, so
- 15:33Speaker 6: a lot of times I missed that. But when a
- 15:35Speaker 6: pitcher throws over one hundred pitches for the first time,
- 15:38Speaker 6: a lot of times you do want to fade them
- 15:39Speaker 6: in the next game.
- 15:40Speaker 5: And I believe that.
- 15:41Speaker 6: Was the case with Griffin Jacks yesterday, by the way,
- 15:44Speaker 6: who we faded because he was pitching for Tampa Bay.
- 15:47Speaker 6: He was not bad in that game though, so but
- 15:50Speaker 6: sometimes when a pitcher exerts themselves like that, they won't
- 15:53Speaker 6: do as well the next time out. Gin was good
- 15:55Speaker 6: in that start, though. Besides the walks, he gave up
- 15:58Speaker 6: one run in six innings the Dodgers, so that's still
- 16:02Speaker 6: pretty good. He's got a low hit rate, his walk
- 16:05Speaker 6: grade is still too high, though his strikeout rates a
- 16:08Speaker 6: little bit low. But Gins's main issue is his walks.
- 16:11Speaker 6: He does induce a lot of ground balls, like I said,
- 16:13Speaker 6: so that's how he gets away with pitching in the
- 16:16Speaker 6: A's stadium. Going up against Detroit, he does not have
- 16:20Speaker 6: particularly good numbers. In thirty seven at bats three twenty
- 16:23Speaker 6: four average, seven forty eight ohps.
- 16:25Speaker 5: Is not as bad as you might think.
- 16:28Speaker 6: It's still not really something I want to back though,
- 16:31Speaker 6: nine to one strike out walk ratio, and he's gonna
- 16:33Speaker 6: have to go up against Tarrek Scooball, who is still
- 16:36Speaker 6: one of the best pitchers in baseball.
- 16:38Speaker 5: He's coming back from injury.
- 16:39Speaker 6: He looks pretty good again three point one five ERA,
- 16:43Speaker 6: point nine to one whip.
- 16:44Speaker 5: Hasn't been as good.
- 16:45Speaker 6: At home though, four point four to four homie ra
- 16:48Speaker 6: which is kind of interesting. But I mean, since he's
- 16:51Speaker 6: come back from injury, it's kind of like he's improved
- 16:53Speaker 6: with every start. He's going deeper into these starts. He
- 16:56Speaker 6: just pitched really well against the Yankees, really two starts
- 16:59Speaker 6: in a row. I mean, I know, you give up
- 17:00Speaker 6: four runs the first time, but one hit them the
- 17:03Speaker 6: second time, give up one on and run. He had
- 17:05Speaker 6: eighteen strikeouts and no walks over those two starts. And
- 17:09Speaker 6: since he's come back, he has a thirty to two
- 17:11Speaker 6: strikeout walk ratio. So yeah, we get it.
- 17:14Speaker 5: He's still good.
- 17:15Speaker 6: He's got a low hit rate on the season, a
- 17:16Speaker 6: really low walk rate on the season in a high
- 17:19Speaker 6: strikeout rate as well.
- 17:22Speaker 5: His numbers against the A's.
- 17:23Speaker 6: They're a pretty formidable lineup, but he's pretty much dominated
- 17:26Speaker 6: them in fifty nine at bats twenty three strikeouts, one walk, Yeah,
- 17:31Speaker 6: that's pretty good, one eighty six batting average, five to
- 17:34Speaker 6: ninety ops allowed. I know it's a bad spot for Detroit,
- 17:38Speaker 6: so I don't want to play them. You know that
- 17:40Speaker 6: you're gonna get it's gonna be an like.
- 17:44Speaker 5: The price is gonna be too high with school ball
- 17:45Speaker 5: on the mound.
- 17:46Speaker 6: You know you're always gonna pay a tax for him,
- 17:48Speaker 6: if you want to call it that. Minus one eighty
- 17:51Speaker 6: something is the price on Detroit. The money is fading
- 17:54Speaker 6: them eighty eight percent of tickets, eighty six percent of
- 17:56Speaker 6: the cash on them. Obviously, there are two reasons for that.
- 17:59Speaker 6: One is it's a bad spot the return home spot.
- 18:02Speaker 6: Two is that the price is just too high on
- 18:04Speaker 6: school ball. And I agree that gen might have the
- 18:07Speaker 6: ability to battle Schoolable here because he is not that bad,
- 18:11Speaker 6: but he's still worse than Schooble and has the worst
- 18:14Speaker 6: matchup numbers here, So I don't want to bank on that,
- 18:17Speaker 6: even though that argument could be made. But if you
- 18:21Speaker 6: want to play the A's, you got to play them
- 18:22Speaker 6: first five. You can't leave their bullpen, and even though
- 18:25Speaker 6: they are rested, there's no way I would do that.
- 18:29Speaker 6: The under is kind of an interesting thought. I mean,
- 18:32Speaker 6: the totals at eight, I wouldn't include the A's bullpen
- 18:35Speaker 6: in that either. Though if I was gonna go under,
- 18:37Speaker 6: I would go first five here. You could consider the
- 18:40Speaker 6: under maybe, because I mean, you're looking at the best
- 18:43Speaker 6: starting pitcher basically from both teams here. Problem with that
- 18:47Speaker 6: is still though that gen just doesn't really match up
- 18:50Speaker 6: that well here, So do with that what you want.
- 18:53Speaker 6: But he is in the better of his home road splits.
- 18:55Speaker 6: I think that is probably that is my preferred approach
- 18:58Speaker 6: in this game, though probably his first five under though.
- 19:02Speaker 6: All Right, Atlanta and Pittsburgh.
- 19:05Speaker 5: Pittsburgh's returning over from a road trip.
- 19:08Speaker 6: They went to phillyam Washington, so it's not exactly a
- 19:11Speaker 6: long distance they're traveling here, but they still went out
- 19:15Speaker 6: on the road.
- 19:15Speaker 5: They had a couple of.
- 19:16Speaker 6: Pretty big series here. They beat Washington to finish their
- 19:19Speaker 6: road trip. They had yesterday off, which Atlanta did not,
- 19:22Speaker 6: so both teams have a disadvantage that the other team doesn't.
- 19:26Speaker 6: So Atlanta is starting a road trip, and usually I
- 19:30Speaker 6: like teams that are starting a road trip, especially because
- 19:32Speaker 6: Atlanta just lost twice to the Mets to they wound
- 19:36Speaker 6: up splitting that series of the Mets ridiculous. Both their
- 19:39Speaker 6: losses by one run, which we won on the second
- 19:43Speaker 6: to last game in that series, although that should have
- 19:45Speaker 6: been an easier win for the Mets. The Mets were
- 19:49Speaker 6: up seven in the eighth inning I think in that
- 19:51Speaker 6: game and they almost blew it. Or maybe it was
- 19:53Speaker 6: the ninth inning even anyway, Atlanta started a road trip
- 19:57Speaker 6: off a couple embarrassing losses, so that should be a
- 20:01Speaker 6: positive spot for Atlanta. Problem is, Atlanta played yesterday and
- 20:05Speaker 6: Pittsburgh did not. Problem for Pittsburgh is they're returning home
- 20:09Speaker 6: from a road trip. So you know, it's a tough
- 20:12Speaker 6: spot to figure out because they're negatives on both sides here.
- 20:15Speaker 5: So Atlanta has an advantage in.
- 20:17Speaker 6: The the you know, the road trip dynamics. Pittsburgh has
- 20:22Speaker 6: a rest advantage. So which one of those wins out here?
- 20:26Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, yeah, it's difficult to say.
- 20:29Speaker 6: I think in this case, probably the road trip advantage,
- 20:32Speaker 6: in my opinion, might win out. So I would probably
- 20:34Speaker 6: give Atlanta a little bit of a situational edge.
- 20:37Speaker 5: But that was an extra inning game for Atlanta yesterday.
- 20:41Speaker 6: Their bullpen didn't do well in that game and they're
- 20:43Speaker 6: used up right now. They used five guys out of
- 20:46Speaker 6: the bullpen yesterday. That's not great. Although Atlanta still has
- 20:50Speaker 6: a bullpen advantage here. They're number one still though the
- 20:53Speaker 6: Yankees are actually catching up to them, which I do
- 20:56Speaker 6: not like. Pittsburgh is not a very good bullpen. Where
- 21:00Speaker 6: are they at? Oh, they're way down at twenty second. Yeah,
- 21:04Speaker 6: not very good. Atlanta's offense has fallen off a bit.
- 21:08Speaker 6: They're fifteenth, Pittsburgh is second. Pittsburgh does have the better offense.
- 21:13Speaker 6: This is an interesting pitching matchup where you have two
- 21:16Speaker 6: pretty young pitchers here, Hurston Waldorp pitching for Atlanta.
- 21:20Speaker 5: And by the way, Garrett can correct me if I'm wrong,
- 21:23Speaker 5: But I I heard that Waldrop is a former NASCAR driver?
- 21:27Speaker 5: Is that right? Now?
- 21:28Speaker 6: He's pitching in the major leagues. I don't know, man,
- 21:31Speaker 6: this guy he's got various talents.
- 21:35Speaker 5: Now.
- 21:35Speaker 6: Waldrop is kind of interesting because he did pitch a
- 21:37Speaker 6: bit last year, and he put up some pretty good
- 21:39Speaker 6: numbers for Atlanta last year, all those walk rate was
- 21:42Speaker 6: too high. This year, it's hard to gauge what he's
- 21:45Speaker 6: doing because he's only had a couple of starts. Three
- 21:47Speaker 6: point six eighty rra al those whip doesn't look good
- 21:50Speaker 6: right now one point six y four, but based on
- 21:53Speaker 6: last year, he's better than that. He has a zero
- 21:57Speaker 6: road era right now, but that's because he's only his
- 21:59Speaker 6: one road star and it actually wasn't really that good.
- 22:02Speaker 6: He went two winnings and he walked for guys against
- 22:04Speaker 6: San Francisco. That's not great, but he did pitch okay
- 22:08Speaker 6: at home last time, even though his whip is kind
- 22:11Speaker 6: of spiked right now, but that's because of his walks
- 22:13Speaker 6: in the first game. Last game, he was actually a
- 22:16Speaker 6: little bit better. He held Saint Louis to three runs
- 22:18Speaker 6: and five and a third innings. He was decent in
- 22:21Speaker 6: that one. I think he's a decent pitcher. I mean,
- 22:23Speaker 6: his walk rad's a bit concerning right now, but that
- 22:25Speaker 6: was just one start where he hadn't pitched in the
- 22:28Speaker 6: major since last year, so maybe you'd give him a
- 22:30Speaker 6: pass for that. But last year, like I said, he did,
- 22:33Speaker 6: his walks were his main issue last year though, so
- 22:36Speaker 6: hard to gage what's going on here. He's given up
- 22:38Speaker 6: like one hit an inning and has one strike up
- 22:40Speaker 6: per inning right now. For the most part, Pittsburgh only
- 22:45Speaker 6: has one guy that's faced him Brandon Lowe. He's won
- 22:48Speaker 6: for one with a home run off him though, and
- 22:51Speaker 6: a walk. But still, I mean, I think Waldrop is okay,
- 22:55Speaker 6: and maybe you do get a little bit of value
- 22:57Speaker 6: on the Atlanta side, because if you're gonna take Atlanta
- 22:59Speaker 6: or your Paul Skeens, and you know Skeens is heavily
- 23:03Speaker 6: priced in the market. Skeens also is not pitching well
- 23:06Speaker 6: right now. His ray has ballooned to three point six
- 23:10Speaker 6: to two, which that's pretty high for Skeens. Ther Man,
- 23:13Speaker 6: although his whip is still pretty good at one point
- 23:16Speaker 6: oh one, but yeah, he's he's not gonna win the
- 23:20Speaker 6: cy young man. His era should be lower than it is,
- 23:23Speaker 6: though he's been good at home three point oh two
- 23:26Speaker 6: homey ram last couple starts, though, I mean he's been
- 23:30Speaker 6: rough the last couple of starts, not very good. He
- 23:33Speaker 6: just got bombed by Philadelphia for seven or in runs,
- 23:36Speaker 6: although it was on six hits, so you could make
- 23:39Speaker 6: the argument he got a little bit unlucky in that start.
- 23:42Speaker 6: He gets Pittsburgh, like Skeens is going to bounce back
- 23:45Speaker 6: at some point. I mean, he's still one of the
- 23:46Speaker 6: best pitchers in baseball. He's got a low hit rate,
- 23:49Speaker 6: low walk rate, high strikeout rate, all that good stuff.
- 23:52Speaker 6: Still has overall good numbers too, although for skeens they
- 23:56Speaker 6: don't look that good going up against the Braves. He's
- 23:59Speaker 6: good numbers here, but they only have five hitters who
- 24:02Speaker 6: have faced him. Twelve at bats, no extra base hits,
- 24:05Speaker 6: six strikeouts, one walk, one sixty seven average, three ninety
- 24:09Speaker 6: seven ops. You know, I mean, I'm almost certain the
- 24:15Speaker 6: public is gonna be fading Skiing, or I'm almost certain
- 24:18Speaker 6: the professionals are going to be fading Skiings here.
- 24:22Speaker 5: Let me see what the money looks like.
- 24:24Speaker 6: Yeah, seventy five percent of tickets, fifty one percent of
- 24:26Speaker 6: the cash on Pittsburgh. I know how the professionals operate. Dude,
- 24:30Speaker 6: They're still gonna be like, yeah, Skiing's laying minus one
- 24:33Speaker 6: seventy here, Like that price is too high. So the
- 24:36Speaker 6: professionals are gonna just grab Atlanta. And in some ways
- 24:40Speaker 6: it makes sense, right, Like, if you play Atlanta, you
- 24:42Speaker 6: can grab them probably on like a run line or
- 24:44Speaker 6: maybe to a split run line money line bet, and
- 24:47Speaker 6: you'll get a starting pitcher that might be able to
- 24:49Speaker 6: hang in there, and then you get the better bullpen
- 24:52Speaker 6: and you get what I think is maybe the better situation. However,
- 24:55Speaker 6: you do have to worry because Atlanta's bullpen hasn't been
- 24:58Speaker 6: that good over the last few games, and they really
- 25:01Speaker 6: really got used yesterday, so that worries me. You know,
- 25:06Speaker 6: still probably better than the pittsburh'us bullpen, though the money's also
- 25:09Speaker 6: backing the over in this game at eight, which is
- 25:13Speaker 6: I don't know, kind of interesting. I guess I think
- 25:17Speaker 6: the under might make sense here, like first five under
- 25:21Speaker 6: might make some sense here, man, because Waldrop might have
- 25:23Speaker 6: a little bit of an extra advantage because Pittsburgh is
- 25:25Speaker 6: not familiar with them. You know, I always talking about
- 25:27Speaker 6: when young pitchers have unfamiliarity, the offense can struggle a bit,
- 25:32Speaker 6: but we're talking about one of the top Pittsburgh is
- 25:35Speaker 6: one of the top offenses in baseball, man, and they're
- 25:37Speaker 6: really good at home. So this is not an easy
- 25:40Speaker 6: matchup for Waldrop. So that would worry me a little
- 25:42Speaker 6: bit too. So I think Skeens does still have the
- 25:46Speaker 6: upper hand in this matchup, but there is an argument
- 25:48Speaker 6: maybe for like a first five under here. I don't
- 25:51Speaker 6: think i'd want to go full game because you got
- 25:53Speaker 6: an unrested Atlanta bullpen a not good Pittsburgh bullpen, but yeah,
- 25:58Speaker 6: I mean I would worry about Waldrop in this particular scenario.
- 26:01Speaker 6: So it's it's a difficult game to really find a
- 26:05Speaker 6: good way to play it, you know. So I think
- 26:09Speaker 6: it's it's a stay away, but you might get decent
- 26:13Speaker 6: starts out of both pitchers there. Yankees at Tampa Bay.
- 26:16Speaker 6: We did win with the Yankees yesterday. This game is
- 26:18Speaker 6: on TBS. The game wasn't really what it looked like though,
- 26:21Speaker 6: Like I said, Cabellero hit two home runs and the
- 26:25Speaker 6: Yankees got out hit.
- 26:26Speaker 5: Four to three. So Schlitzler was good, but Jacks was
- 26:30Speaker 5: actually pretty good too. Jacks had ten strikeouts in the game.
- 26:34Speaker 6: Now, Schlitzler went eight innings, so he pretty much saved
- 26:37Speaker 6: the Yankees bullpen here. But the result was misleading, Like
- 26:40Speaker 6: this was not a five to one Yankees win, you know,
- 26:43Speaker 6: it should have.
- 26:44Speaker 5: Been a lot closer.
- 26:46Speaker 6: But we got the win on the show, so I'll
- 26:49Speaker 6: I'll be okay with that, even though I want the
- 26:51Speaker 6: Yankees to lose. Now what this does, though, Remember part
- 26:54Speaker 6: of my handicap yesterday was Tampa was in a return
- 26:56Speaker 6: home spot and when a team returns home from the
- 26:59Speaker 6: road and they lose that first game, a lot of
- 27:01Speaker 6: times they bounce back and they do better in the
- 27:04Speaker 6: next game, So Tampa might be able to do that.
- 27:08Speaker 5: Both teams I think are gonna show up here. This
- 27:10Speaker 5: is a big series.
- 27:11Speaker 6: Although the Yankees probably need the series a little bit
- 27:14Speaker 6: more because they're behind Tampa's still by three games.
- 27:17Speaker 5: Even though I think the Yankees are the better.
- 27:19Speaker 6: Team, I don't know about the Yankees matchup in this one.
- 27:22Speaker 6: They did save their bullpen, but they did use I
- 27:25Speaker 6: think their closer right Bednard. They used him to finish
- 27:28Speaker 6: the game yesterday. I don't know why they really did
- 27:30Speaker 6: that with a four run lead, but whatever. Tampa Bay
- 27:35Speaker 6: used three relief pitchers. The Yankees, like I said, they've
- 27:37Speaker 6: moved up to second in bullpen and they have the
- 27:39Speaker 6: second best bullpen ERA right now.
- 27:43Speaker 5: I don't know how sold I am on that. I mean,
- 27:46Speaker 5: they're good.
- 27:47Speaker 6: I don't know if they're quite that good, but they're good.
- 27:50Speaker 6: Tampa's bullpen is ranked ninth, I think on no.
- 27:53Speaker 5: Eighth.
- 27:54Speaker 6: I don't think they're that good though, still a mid
- 27:56Speaker 6: forours era, so I think they're probably a mid tier
- 27:59Speaker 6: bullpen Yankees. Their offense has struggled a bit recently. They're
- 28:02Speaker 6: all the way down to tenth Tampa Bay's thirteenth, tied
- 28:06Speaker 6: with Houston, but I still think Yankees are the better
- 28:09Speaker 6: offense here. Yankees in this game, though, they're going with
- 28:11Speaker 6: Will Warren, so they're not going with one of their
- 28:14Speaker 6: best pitchers here. Although he's been alright three point seven
- 28:17Speaker 6: to three ERA one point three to three whip. Warren
- 28:21Speaker 6: is actually a little bit better on the road this
- 28:23Speaker 6: year three point six to four road ERA, but I
- 28:25Speaker 6: believe he wasn't good last year on the road, so
- 28:30Speaker 6: that's somebody keep in mind. He was pretty good in
- 28:32Speaker 6: his last start against Detroit, but he was struggling a
- 28:35Speaker 6: bit prior to that. He had some issues in the
- 28:37Speaker 6: month of June. A lot of walks in there, way
- 28:39Speaker 6: too hittable too, So I don't know if I would
- 28:42Speaker 6: say he's in good form right now, even though his
- 28:44Speaker 6: last start against Detroit was pretty good. He's got a
- 28:47Speaker 6: hit rate that's right around one per inning, very average,
- 28:50Speaker 6: walk right is decent, strikeout rate is pretty good above
- 28:53Speaker 6: one per inning, so he's an alright pitcher. His numbers
- 28:56Speaker 6: against Tampa Bay are not great Tampa Bay does have
- 28:59Speaker 6: the upper hand against them slightly in thirty five at
- 29:02Speaker 6: bats to eighty six average seven to fifty three OPS.
- 29:05Speaker 6: I use seven to fifty as a threshold. I think
- 29:08Speaker 6: the OPS is what matters the most. Batting average. I
- 29:11Speaker 6: don't even know what threshold I would use batting average now,
- 29:14Speaker 6: because I grew up through the nineties when batting averages
- 29:16Speaker 6: are all higher and Major League Baseball is trying to
- 29:19Speaker 6: do all these things to make the game more exciting
- 29:22Speaker 6: and offensive, and everybody's batting average is completely in the
- 29:24Speaker 6: fucking tank. It's so fucking stupid. Dude, bring back steroids.
- 29:30Speaker 6: Warren six strikeouts, two walks against Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay
- 29:34Speaker 6: is going with Ian Seymour, and I will tell you
- 29:37Speaker 6: that if you want to play this game, I think
- 29:38Speaker 6: you should pick Warren must start, but don't select a
- 29:41Speaker 6: Tampa starter because it is going to be Seymour in
- 29:44Speaker 6: this game. But they've used an opener in front of
- 29:46Speaker 6: them multiple times, so Tampa Bay may be putting an
- 29:50Speaker 6: opener in front of him again. So I'm just gonna
- 29:51Speaker 6: warn you about that. I mean again, this is what
- 29:54Speaker 6: happens in baseball.
- 29:55Speaker 5: Now.
- 29:56Speaker 6: He might start, but he might not. Seymour has actually
- 29:59Speaker 6: been fairly good for Dude, Tampa. I don't know what
- 30:01Speaker 6: the deal is. They must have good pitching coaching because
- 30:04Speaker 6: they seem to get the most out of every one
- 30:06Speaker 6: of their starters. Like you look at their starting rotation,
- 30:09Speaker 6: You're like, who are these guys?
- 30:11Speaker 5: And most of them pitched pretty well.
- 30:13Speaker 6: Four point h two ERA, one point zero nine whip
- 30:16Speaker 6: is quite good. He's been really good at home two
- 30:19Speaker 6: point seven to three home ERA. Really good in his
- 30:22Speaker 6: last two starts, but they were both against Kansas City.
- 30:26Speaker 6: He went twelve and two thirds innings and only gave
- 30:28Speaker 6: up three hits in one run, had fifteen strikeouts and
- 30:31Speaker 6: two walks.
- 30:32Speaker 5: But it was against Kansas City, so you know, you
- 30:34Speaker 5: gotta dial it back a little bit. But one of
- 30:36Speaker 5: those games was on the road, where.
- 30:38Speaker 6: It's more difficult to a pitch, and Kansas City hits
- 30:42Speaker 6: better at home, so give him some credit for that.
- 30:45Speaker 6: He was pitching out of a bullpen a lot earlier
- 30:47Speaker 6: in the season. But overall, he does have a low
- 30:50Speaker 6: hit rate, his walk rate is too high, his strikeout
- 30:52Speaker 6: rate is actually fairly high against the Yankees. His numbers
- 30:57Speaker 6: are a little bit all over the place in twenty
- 30:59Speaker 6: seven at ten strikeouts one walk that's good to twenty
- 31:03Speaker 6: two average allowed, that's good.
- 31:05Speaker 5: But they've hit him for power.
- 31:06Speaker 6: Bellinger and Ben Rice both have home runs off him
- 31:09Speaker 6: eight h six ops.
- 31:12Speaker 5: But in a case like this.
- 31:13Speaker 6: I don't know, man, I mean, the home runs seem
- 31:14Speaker 6: a little bit fluky to me because it's not a
- 31:16Speaker 6: big sample size. I think the strikeout walk ratio in
- 31:19Speaker 6: the batting average tell more of the story here than
- 31:21Speaker 6: the ops does. So I don't know, man, I don't
- 31:26Speaker 6: necessarily think that Seymour matches up that badly there. The
- 31:29Speaker 6: other thing to consider is that Tampa Bay is really
- 31:31Speaker 6: good at home this year. They're thirty one and thirteen
- 31:34Speaker 6: at home. That's good, although the Yankees have been pretty
- 31:36Speaker 6: good on the road twenty seven and twenty. But Tampa
- 31:39Speaker 6: Bay has one of the best home records, maybe the
- 31:42Speaker 6: best in baseball.
- 31:43Speaker 5: And I believe Tampa Bay swept.
- 31:46Speaker 6: The Yankees in this stadium earlier this season, so the
- 31:49Speaker 6: Yankees had not won in Tampa Bay until yesterday this year.
- 31:54Speaker 6: So some things of note in this game. I believe
- 31:58Speaker 6: the money is backing Tampa Bay here because the Yankees
- 32:01Speaker 6: usually get public action. But I told you that yesterday
- 32:04Speaker 6: the Yankees were not public, but it seems like it's now. Oh,
- 32:07Speaker 6: the Yankees just beat Tampa Bay, so the Yankees must
- 32:09Speaker 6: be back, even though Will Warren is not Cam Schlitzler.
- 32:13Speaker 6: You know, I don't think Will Warren is gonna go
- 32:15Speaker 6: eight innings and allow one run on three hits or
- 32:18Speaker 6: whatever Schlitzler did yesterday. Fifty four percent of them tickets
- 32:23Speaker 6: on Yankees on the Yankees, eighty nine percent of the
- 32:26Speaker 6: cash on Tampa Bay. So the money is strongly indicating
- 32:29Speaker 6: on Tampa Bay. Here they're at like minus one eighteen.
- 32:33Speaker 6: I don't have a feel for it. The money's also
- 32:35Speaker 6: back in the over. I could see the argument for
- 32:39Speaker 6: the over just because both both starting pitchers don't really
- 32:42Speaker 6: have good ops is against them with his matchups, so
- 32:45Speaker 6: the over eight.
- 32:48Speaker 5: Might be worth considering. I think maybe that's I don't know.
- 32:51Speaker 6: If I was gonna give out anything on this game,
- 32:53Speaker 6: maybe that would be what makes the most sense. But
- 32:55Speaker 6: obviously I don't love this game. I do slightly agree
- 32:59Speaker 6: with Tampa as well. I mean, I think they do
- 33:01Speaker 6: have a slight starting pitching edge. Year could be in
- 33:04Speaker 6: the bounce back spot, like I said after losing the
- 33:07Speaker 6: return home spot.
- 33:08Speaker 5: That tends to be a strong bounce back spot.
- 33:10Speaker 6: But if you're gonna play Tampa, I think I would
- 33:12Speaker 6: limit it to first five innings though, because they do
- 33:14Speaker 6: not have a bullpen advantage.
- 33:16Speaker 5: So I think Tampa.
- 33:17Speaker 6: First five maybe is worth a look. But I don't
- 33:20Speaker 6: know the over makes more sense to me. I think
- 33:22Speaker 6: in that one, I'm not gonna do it though, And
- 33:24Speaker 6: yesterday's game was very low scoring, but maybe that's a
- 33:27Speaker 6: better indicator towards an over here. And you know, it's
- 33:30Speaker 6: a different pitching matchup this time, all right, although Seymour
- 33:34Speaker 6: and Jacks are probably pretty similar to each other Seattle
- 33:38Speaker 6: in Miami. Man, I took a look at this game,
- 33:40Speaker 6: and this game just screams under to me based on
- 33:43Speaker 6: the starting pitching. But then I started digging into it
- 33:45Speaker 6: and I'm like, yeah, I don't really want to do that.
- 33:50Speaker 5: Now.
- 33:50Speaker 6: Both these teams are off yesterday, so that helps with
- 33:53Speaker 6: an under in my opinion, because the bullpens get to rest,
- 33:55Speaker 6: the offense is might cool off a little bit. These
- 33:58Speaker 6: offenses aren't really that good and uner Seattle is still
- 34:02Speaker 6: struggling twenty fifth in offense. Miami has moved up, but
- 34:04Speaker 6: Miami's actually sixth. But I don't think they're that good.
- 34:08Speaker 6: And I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna warn against Miami's
- 34:12Speaker 6: offense here because Miami just their offensive numbers just all
- 34:16Speaker 6: got skewed because they're coming back from a road trip
- 34:19Speaker 6: where they played Incourse Field and in the Athletics Stadium.
- 34:22Speaker 6: So obviously that's gonna pad any team's offensive numbers, you
- 34:26Speaker 6: know what I mean, when you play in the two
- 34:28Speaker 6: most offensive stadiums in baseball. Now that they're back home
- 34:31Speaker 6: in a pitcher friendly ballpark, I don't see Miami's offense
- 34:34Speaker 6: doing nearly as much damage here. So a lot of
- 34:39Speaker 6: things lining up towards an under here. Miami did return
- 34:41Speaker 6: home from a long road trip, but they went to
- 34:43Speaker 6: Saint Louis first, then Colorado and the A's, So I
- 34:47Speaker 6: don't like the spot for Miami returning home from a
- 34:49Speaker 6: long road trip. You know, I talk about it can
- 34:52Speaker 6: be a you know, a pretty major a distraction spot.
- 34:55Speaker 6: They did just sweep the A's on the road, which
- 34:57Speaker 6: is a decent sweep for Miami there. Don't know that
- 35:01Speaker 6: they're going to overlook Seattle necessarily though, because Seattle is
- 35:03Speaker 6: still a pretty good team, but still it's an inter
- 35:06Speaker 6: league game.
- 35:06Speaker 5: I don't think.
- 35:07Speaker 6: I don't know how much it really means to Miami. Miami,
- 35:10Speaker 6: by the way, they're not doing too bad right now.
- 35:12Speaker 6: They're in the NL East race here, and I believe
- 35:14Speaker 6: if the playoffs started right now, I think Miami would
- 35:17Speaker 6: be in, which is kind of ridiculous to think about,
- 35:20Speaker 6: but Miami not playing too badly this year things to consider.
- 35:25Speaker 6: Although I think Seattle is still better than they are,
- 35:27Speaker 6: but Miami has been good at home. Seattle is not
- 35:30Speaker 6: particularly good on the road. Seattle is starting to move
- 35:33Speaker 6: up a little bit. They are leading the AL West.
- 35:35Speaker 6: They're starting a road trip, and you know, I talk
- 35:37Speaker 6: about that being a positive. A lot of times your
- 35:40Speaker 6: turn you start a road trip, A lot of times
- 35:42Speaker 6: you are focused for that first game.
- 35:44Speaker 5: They're traveling across country.
- 35:45Speaker 6: But I always talk about how it's easier for a
- 35:47Speaker 6: West Coast team to go east than vice versa, because
- 35:50Speaker 6: it's basically just like you're playing an after noon game
- 35:53Speaker 6: on your biological clock, which is easier to do. I mean,
- 35:56Speaker 6: you play a lot of afternoon baseball, so throughout the
- 35:59Speaker 6: Sea and Seattle's coming off two shutouts of Toronto though,
- 36:04Speaker 6: so you know, I don't know if that would put
- 36:06Speaker 6: them in any sort of letdown, but I think the
- 36:07Speaker 6: scheduling spot is better for Seattle here. Now, as far
- 36:12Speaker 6: as the bullpen's here, they're both rested, and I think
- 36:15Speaker 6: they're both pretty good bullpens. Miami's third, Seattle's sixteenth, but
- 36:19Speaker 6: their era.
- 36:20Speaker 5: Is better than that.
- 36:21Speaker 6: I don't think Miami is quite as good as third,
- 36:23Speaker 6: but they're a pretty good bullpen. And you know that,
- 36:26Speaker 6: just like I said, with their offensive numbers got skewed
- 36:28Speaker 6: during that road trip, their bullpen numbers also got skewed
- 36:32Speaker 6: towards the negative pitching in those stadiums. Starting pitching here,
- 36:36Speaker 6: Brian Wu is pitching for Seattle, so you can see
- 36:38Speaker 6: why I was thinking this could be an under here.
- 36:41Speaker 6: I think Wu is better than his era would suggest
- 36:44Speaker 6: four point one seven era, but his whip is one
- 36:47Speaker 6: point oh three, and we've seen what he's done throughout
- 36:49Speaker 6: his career so far. We know that he's good. He's
- 36:52Speaker 6: gotten a little bit unlucky this year, however. Wu has
- 36:55Speaker 6: been really bad on the road, a six point three
- 36:58Speaker 6: to eight road ray this year. He usually does not
- 37:01Speaker 6: have numbers that are this extreme. Like last year. I'm
- 37:04Speaker 6: pretty sure he was worse on the road, but it
- 37:06Speaker 6: wasn't this extreme like that's crazy. It makes sense that
- 37:09Speaker 6: he pitches better at home because it's a pitcher friendly park,
- 37:12Speaker 6: but so is Miami, so maybe he could pitch well
- 37:15Speaker 6: here even though he is bound on the road. I
- 37:18Speaker 6: don't know if I quite want to jump in and
- 37:20Speaker 6: back Wu on the road here. Wu was struggling a bit.
- 37:23Speaker 6: He had a bad month of June, although he did
- 37:26Speaker 6: have a good start last time out against Anaheim, so
- 37:30Speaker 6: maybe he's rounding back in a form. I'm not too
- 37:33Speaker 6: concerned with him, though, just because we know what he
- 37:35Speaker 6: is at this point, and we know how good he is.
- 37:37Speaker 6: He's got a low hit rate, low walk rate high
- 37:39Speaker 6: not really a high strike out rate, but almost one
- 37:41Speaker 6: per inning, which I think is about what you get
- 37:44Speaker 6: out of him usually.
- 37:46Speaker 5: So his numbers are still pretty good. Here.
- 37:49Speaker 6: Miami has never seen him before, so I think that
- 37:51Speaker 6: does help him. I'm kind of surprised by that, but
- 37:54Speaker 6: I mean they are in different leagues. Although Wu's been
- 37:56Speaker 6: around for I don't know, three four years, so kind
- 37:59Speaker 6: of has that Nobody in this lineup has faced him,
- 38:02Speaker 6: but that should be an extra advantage to Woo because
- 38:04Speaker 6: I talk about when these talented pitchers go up against
- 38:07Speaker 6: an offense that hasn't faced them, the pitcher tends to
- 38:09Speaker 6: have the advantage. On the other side, Max Meyer's pitching,
- 38:13Speaker 6: so he is Miami's best pitcher. He's been really good
- 38:16Speaker 6: this year. Two point five to three e RA, one
- 38:19Speaker 6: point one to one whip that's pretty good. Better at
- 38:22Speaker 6: home to two point one to three home y RA,
- 38:24Speaker 6: so he's in the better of his home roads with
- 38:26Speaker 6: He finally took a loss in Colorado and it wasn't
- 38:29Speaker 6: even his fault.
- 38:30Speaker 5: That was his first loss of the.
- 38:32Speaker 6: Season, and four unearned runs got scored against him. So
- 38:35Speaker 6: it's like, hey, thanks guys, thanks for helping me out.
- 38:39Speaker 6: Assuming that it wasn't him making the errors, which usually
- 38:41Speaker 6: it's not the pitcher, but yeah, so he pitched better
- 38:45Speaker 6: than it looks like in that game. Meyer has been
- 38:48Speaker 6: good man. I mean he's allowed uh more than two
- 38:51Speaker 6: earned runs more than three earned runs only twice all season,
- 38:54Speaker 6: let's put it that way. He's got a low hit rate,
- 38:57Speaker 6: low pretty low walk rate, high strikeout rate, all good
- 39:01Speaker 6: numbers across the board from him. His numbers against Seattle
- 39:05Speaker 6: are weird thirteen at bats against him. They have six
- 39:07Speaker 6: hitters who have faced him two thirty one average five
- 39:10Speaker 6: to one strike out walk ratio.
- 39:12Speaker 5: All that sounds good.
- 39:13Speaker 6: However, they do have a nine to seventy eight ops
- 39:16Speaker 6: against it because Naylor and the Big Dumper.
- 39:20Speaker 5: Each have a home run off him.
- 39:22Speaker 6: Maybe that's a little bit concerning, but it's such a
- 39:24Speaker 6: small sample size, and you know, I talked about how
- 39:26Speaker 6: that's a little bit fluky with home runs like that.
- 39:29Speaker 6: Do I think Meyer's actually gonna pitch poorly here?
- 39:32Speaker 1: No?
- 39:32Speaker 6: I don't, So I still think the under is probably
- 39:36Speaker 6: the way to look at it. I just have some
- 39:37Speaker 6: concerns with it. And the money is really against it.
- 39:41Speaker 6: Sixty five percent of tickets on the under, eighty one
- 39:43Speaker 6: percent of the cash on the over, So the market
- 39:45Speaker 6: reid is strongly indicating on the over, which doesn't make
- 39:50Speaker 6: sense to me. I still think under is probably the
- 39:53Speaker 6: best approach here. Again, you got offensive that might have
- 39:56Speaker 6: cooled off with the rest rested bullpens that are both
- 39:58Speaker 6: pretty good, two good starting pitchers generally, and you know,
- 40:03Speaker 6: just a couple of concerns or Wu is really bad
- 40:05Speaker 6: on the road and Meyer has given up some power
- 40:08Speaker 6: hitting to Seattle. Those are the only issues. Total is eight,
- 40:12Speaker 6: which is pretty reasonable. So yeah, I think the under
- 40:15Speaker 6: is still probably the better way to play that. And
- 40:18Speaker 6: I thought this was gonna make my card until I
- 40:20Speaker 6: started digging into the numbers and I really didn't like
- 40:22Speaker 6: it that much. And the market read is obviously against me.
- 40:26Speaker 6: The money is also indicating on Miami. I don't really
- 40:28Speaker 6: like that either. Fifty six percent of tickets ninety percent
- 40:31Speaker 6: of the cash on Miami at minus one sixteen or so.
- 40:35Speaker 5: I don't think I like that. I mean, Meyer has
- 40:38Speaker 5: been a little bit better than Wu.
- 40:39Speaker 6: Yes, Wu is better than his RARA suggests, though I
- 40:43Speaker 6: know his road split looks bad, but he's I think
- 40:45Speaker 6: he might have the better matchup because he's totally unfamiliar
- 40:48Speaker 6: to Miami and Seattle has been able to have some
- 40:51Speaker 6: success against Meyer. Plus it's a really bad spot for Miami,
- 40:54Speaker 6: the return home spot, Seattle's starting a road trips. I'm
- 40:57Speaker 6: gonna slightly lean to Seattle in that game, and also
- 41:01Speaker 6: I think maybe their bullpens a little bit underrated too,
- 41:05Speaker 6: but that game is not making the cut for me.
- 41:08Speaker 5: Houston and Washington this game, I was correct.
- 41:11Speaker 6: With my read yesterday, I said, over in the game yesterday,
- 41:14Speaker 6: I should have just given it out.
- 41:15Speaker 5: I mean, it seemed obvious.
- 41:17Speaker 6: Both starting pitchers were awful, both bullpens are untrustworthy, and
- 41:20Speaker 6: that game went way over the total. It was a
- 41:23Speaker 6: twelve eleven Washington win. Really really ridiculous the game. The
- 41:28Speaker 6: game was over in the third inning. The game had
- 41:31Speaker 6: already gone over the total in the third inning. It
- 41:33Speaker 6: was it was six to six in the third inning.
- 41:36Speaker 6: I was like, yep, I should have given out of the
- 41:38Speaker 6: over in that one. It would have been one of
- 41:40Speaker 6: the easiest wins you'll get Washington.
- 41:43Speaker 5: It was at least an opinion for me.
- 41:46Speaker 6: But you know, a lot of times, like I said,
- 41:48Speaker 6: I'll have really good opinions on the show that don't
- 41:50Speaker 6: wind up making the cut for me. Washington only us
- 41:53Speaker 6: one relief pitcher in that game, but they are bad
- 41:57Speaker 6: in the bullpen. Houston is better but maybe totally trustworthy
- 42:01Speaker 6: these three relief pitchers. Houston has moved up. They're seventeenth.
- 42:05Speaker 6: They're more of a mid tier bullpen at this point.
- 42:07Speaker 6: Washington bad at twenty six. But you know, I mean,
- 42:11Speaker 6: that shouldn't really detract you from maybe considering another row
- 42:14Speaker 6: over here, but I don't think it's as good in
- 42:16Speaker 6: this game as it was yesterday. Washington is a good offense.
- 42:20Speaker 6: They're third, Houston thirteenth. Washington, I believe, plays a lot
- 42:23Speaker 6: of high scoring games at home. They give up a
- 42:27Speaker 6: lot of runs at home. Washington does this starting pitching
- 42:30Speaker 6: matchup again. This is not as like monstrously ugly as
- 42:35Speaker 6: it was yesterday, but this is a very unpredictable pitching matchup.
- 42:39Speaker 6: Houston's going with Tatsuya e Mai. This guy, dude, I
- 42:43Speaker 6: think this guy is just like he's just completely unpredictable,
- 42:47Speaker 6: Like he could give you like one of the best
- 42:49Speaker 6: performances you've ever seen, or he could be an absolute
- 42:52Speaker 6: dumpster fire one start to the next. Like this guy
- 42:55Speaker 6: is almost unbettable because you have no idea what's gonna
- 42:58Speaker 6: happen when he's on the mound. His numbers don't look
- 43:01Speaker 6: good obviously, six point one four ERA, one point four
- 43:03Speaker 6: to seven Whip. He is better on the road seven
- 43:06Speaker 6: point twenty four or four point twenty four Roady Ira
- 43:11Speaker 6: compared to seven point nine two at home. He had
- 43:14Speaker 6: two really good starts at the end of June Cleveland
- 43:17Speaker 6: and Detroit, and he just destroyed them with twenty one
- 43:20Speaker 6: strikeouts total in one walk.
- 43:22Speaker 5: Then what did he do against Minnesota last time out?
- 43:25Speaker 6: Yeah, he was awful. He didn't even make it out
- 43:27Speaker 6: of the second inning. You walk five guys, Like, how
- 43:30Speaker 6: can you predict a guy like this? Like he's pitching
- 43:32Speaker 6: like an ace two games in a row. The game
- 43:34Speaker 6: before that, he didn't even make it out of the
- 43:36Speaker 6: first inning and he was absolute, absolute trash. And then
- 43:39Speaker 6: again he had just an absolutely horrible start against Minnesota.
- 43:44Speaker 5: Yeah, like, what do you do with a guy like this?
- 43:46Speaker 5: I have no clue.
- 43:47Speaker 6: Washington's never faced it before, so he might have an
- 43:50Speaker 6: advantage in that they're unfamiliar with him. But some of
- 43:53Speaker 6: these offenses that haven't been familiar with him have completely
- 43:56Speaker 6: roughed him up. So I have no idea what you're
- 43:58Speaker 6: gonna what you're gonna get out of him here. Now,
- 44:00Speaker 6: what I will say is his two really good starts
- 44:03Speaker 6: there were against week offenses Cleveland and Detroit. Washington is
- 44:07Speaker 6: not a week offense, So I will say that, So
- 44:10Speaker 6: I do lean more towards Emi not pitching well. Here
- 44:13Speaker 6: Andrew Alvarez is pitching for Washington. He's been okay, he's
- 44:19Speaker 6: got a three point zero five v R, but his
- 44:21Speaker 6: whip suggests that he's not really that good one point
- 44:23Speaker 6: three to eight whip. He's been not so good at
- 44:27Speaker 6: home three point five two ERA at home, which I mean,
- 44:29Speaker 6: it's still not a bad era. What's weird is he
- 44:33Speaker 6: did not make it five innings last time out against
- 44:35Speaker 6: the Red Sox, but he got a win. So I
- 44:38Speaker 6: guess he must have not started that game. I guess
- 44:41Speaker 6: they must have put an opener in front of him,
- 44:43Speaker 6: unless Major League Baseball change their rules, because I'm pretty
- 44:46Speaker 6: sure a starter.
- 44:48Speaker 5: Yeah, they put Brad Lord in front of them.
- 44:50Speaker 6: That's why, because a starter has to go five innings
- 44:53Speaker 6: to qualify for a win. So I was like, how
- 44:54Speaker 6: did he get a win in that start? It wasn't
- 44:57Speaker 6: a start. That's how Alvarez was good in that out
- 45:00Speaker 6: against the Red Sox though, And that was a bad
- 45:03Speaker 6: game somehow.
- 45:03Speaker 5: Peyton totally got absolutely destroyed.
- 45:07Speaker 6: In that game and he's pitching today, so I'm gonna
- 45:09Speaker 6: talk about him in a little bit. But Alvarez, I mean,
- 45:11Speaker 6: he's been okay, but he doesn't go deep into games.
- 45:14Speaker 6: And again, obviously because they put an opener in front
- 45:16Speaker 6: of him before they might put an opener in front
- 45:19Speaker 6: of him.
- 45:19Speaker 5: In him, they might put an opener.
- 45:22Speaker 6: In him, Oh god, in front of him again in
- 45:25Speaker 6: this game. So be aware of that that if you're
- 45:27Speaker 6: gonna play this game, you should probably pick Emi must start,
- 45:31Speaker 6: But don't select a Washington starter because it will be Alvarez.
- 45:34Speaker 6: But they may put an opener in front of him,
- 45:36Speaker 6: would be my assumption here. He's been pitching okay though,
- 45:40Speaker 6: but he typically he only he goes like four innings
- 45:43Speaker 6: basically typically, so he has not gone five innings in
- 45:46Speaker 6: any any appearance this season. He's got a mediocre hit rate,
- 45:50Speaker 6: his walk rate is not really that good.
- 45:52Speaker 5: Strike out raid is pretty good though.
- 45:54Speaker 6: He does strike out a decent amount of guys, so
- 45:56Speaker 6: he does have some stuff that can fool hitters. Houston
- 45:59Speaker 6: has never really seen him except for Nick al and
- 46:01Speaker 6: it was over one with a walk against him. Again,
- 46:06Speaker 6: this is a very, very unpredictable matchup though I know
- 46:08Speaker 6: both pitchers do have you know, both pictures have unfamiliarity here.
- 46:15Speaker 6: I'm not sure that's gonna be enough. I still probably
- 46:17Speaker 6: lean over. I mean, this series just feels like it's
- 46:20Speaker 6: gonna be an over series. Although Yesterday's was just I
- 46:24Speaker 6: should have given it out as a play. Yesterday's was
- 46:26Speaker 6: just more obviously an over to me. But sometimes the
- 46:29Speaker 6: obvious is not the way that you want to go.
- 46:32Speaker 6: Sixty one percent of tickets, eighty seven percent of the
- 46:34Speaker 6: cash on the over. But yeah, if it's too obvious,
- 46:37Speaker 6: that might mean, like if it looks too easy, it usually.
- 46:40Speaker 5: Is, you know what I mean.
- 46:41Speaker 6: Like I gave out some obvious unders that didn't happen recently,
- 46:45Speaker 6: although that Mizierowski one that I mentioned at the top
- 46:47Speaker 6: of the show, that was a bullshit loss.
- 46:50Speaker 5: We should have had that under in that one. Anyway.
- 46:54Speaker 6: Yeah, the money's coming in on the over. The totals
- 46:56Speaker 6: at nine, so it's right on that key number nine.
- 46:58Speaker 6: I still think I'd probably lean that way. Money is
- 47:02Speaker 6: coming in on Washington sixty six percent of ticket, seventy
- 47:05Speaker 6: seven percent of the cash on Washington at about minus
- 47:08Speaker 6: one to eighteen or so. I think if you play
- 47:10Speaker 6: Washington you should probably avoid their bullpen, though, because their bullpen,
- 47:14Speaker 6: obviously we know, is not very good at all.
- 47:17Speaker 5: Uh So maybe Washington first five you can.
- 47:19Speaker 6: Take Alvarez to outpitch Emi or Alvarez plus their opener
- 47:23Speaker 6: or whatever to outpitch him. I don't know, man, I
- 47:26Speaker 6: think over makes the most sense in that game, but
- 47:28Speaker 6: it's a really difficult game to figure out.
- 47:31Speaker 5: Kansas City and the Mets.
- 47:33Speaker 6: Now, these teams both played yesterday, but the Mets are
- 47:36Speaker 6: returning home from a road trip where they went to
- 47:38Speaker 6: Toronto and Atlanta, and they beat at Lanta the last
- 47:41Speaker 6: two games in dramatic fashion, including doing it yesterday and
- 47:44Speaker 6: extra innings. This looks like a bad spot to me
- 47:47Speaker 6: for the Mets. That was a huge win for them
- 47:49Speaker 6: yesterday and extra innings dramatic win. Now they return home
- 47:53Speaker 6: from a road trip on top of that with no
- 47:55Speaker 6: days off, so you know, I talk about the road
- 47:58Speaker 6: trip return being distraction, distraction, whatever, and they're playing an
- 48:03Speaker 6: American League team and one of the worst Kansas City. Yeah,
- 48:07Speaker 6: this is not a good spot for the Mets. The
- 48:10Speaker 6: Mets are also going with a bullpen game. I'm pretty
- 48:12Speaker 6: sure because I looked back through their rotation and it
- 48:16Speaker 6: was supposed to be whoever was next up in the
- 48:19Speaker 6: rotation they already used like they've been They've been using
- 48:22Speaker 6: guys on short rest, like they move Nolan McClain up
- 48:26Speaker 6: in the rotation. I think maybe because they had an
- 48:28Speaker 6: extra day off in there somewhere, so McClain pitched a
- 48:31Speaker 6: day before he was actually supposed to. So I think
- 48:34Speaker 6: the Mets might be going with a bullpen game here,
- 48:36Speaker 6: which of course looks worse even although their bullpen isn't
- 48:40Speaker 6: really that bad. But you do have to look at
- 48:43Speaker 6: the rest scenario here. The Mets did use a ton
- 48:46Speaker 6: of relief pitchers yesterday because again that was an extra
- 48:49Speaker 6: inning game. They use six relief pitchers, So even though
- 48:52Speaker 6: their bullpen's pretty good, that's not a good sign. You know,
- 48:56Speaker 6: they're better relievers won't be available here.
- 48:58Speaker 5: That's not good. Kansas City, though, they just don't have
- 49:02Speaker 5: a good bullpen. Kansas City.
- 49:03Speaker 6: Who's three relief pitchers yesterday. Kansas City, by the way,
- 49:07Speaker 6: they're starting a road trip, which normally I would say
- 49:09Speaker 6: that's a good spot, that's a focused spot. But Kansas
- 49:12Speaker 6: City just had a ridiculous win yesterday. They absolutely unloaded
- 49:16Speaker 6: on Christopher Sanchez yesterday and won the game fifteen to one.
- 49:21Speaker 5: My opinion in that game was to go over the total.
- 49:24Speaker 6: If you remember my analysis of that. Sanchez actually had
- 49:27Speaker 6: bad numbers against the Royals, and he's not as good
- 49:30Speaker 6: on the road. But did I expect Sanchez to give
- 49:32Speaker 6: up like nine runs in three innings. No, obviously I didn't.
- 49:36Speaker 6: So Kansas City that was a big win from them,
- 49:38Speaker 6: man beating you know, a cy young contender and just
- 49:41Speaker 6: absolutely drilling him like that. Kansas City might be in
- 49:44Speaker 6: a little bit of a letdown. Two. However, I think
- 49:46Speaker 6: the spot is clearly worse for the Mets because it's
- 49:49Speaker 6: a return home spot spot plus coming off a huge
- 49:52Speaker 6: rivalry win, So the spot's worse for the Mets. Plus
- 49:55Speaker 6: it's a bullpen game, plus their bullpen is used up.
- 49:58Speaker 6: None of that looks good, although I'd still avoid Kansas
- 50:01Speaker 6: City's bullpen.
- 50:02Speaker 5: Here.
- 50:03Speaker 6: Mets are number four in bullpen. I think they're good,
- 50:06Speaker 6: but maybe not that good. Kansas City is dead last
- 50:09Speaker 6: in bullpen, although their ERA is a little bit better
- 50:12Speaker 6: than Minnesota's.
- 50:13Speaker 5: But they are bad, really bad offensively.
- 50:17Speaker 6: Kansas City's twentieth tied with Philly hilarious, and the Mets
- 50:21Speaker 6: are twenty eighth tied with Cleveland.
- 50:24Speaker 5: Not good.
- 50:25Speaker 6: So neither offense has really been that good. Kansas City's
- 50:28Speaker 6: offensive numbers really really drop on the road. Kansas City,
- 50:32Speaker 6: at least we know who's starting for them. Set Lugo.
- 50:35Speaker 6: So when I did all my analysis for this, I
- 50:37Speaker 6: was leaning fairly strongly in the direction of the Royals
- 50:40Speaker 6: in this game. But I don't want their bullpen with Lugo.
- 50:44Speaker 6: I mean, Lugo is okay. Four point two ERA and
- 50:46Speaker 6: one point three to eight whip is not great. He
- 50:49Speaker 6: isn't as good on the road though, so even with
- 50:51Speaker 6: Kaufman Stadium's walls being moved in, he's still pitching better
- 50:56Speaker 6: at home. He's got a four point seventy three road ERA.
- 50:59Speaker 6: He's a bit which, okay, I get well.
- 51:02Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 51:02Speaker 6: His last start was good against Tampa Bay. That's an
- 51:05Speaker 6: Eastern sign, but he was bad against Tampa Bay the
- 51:07Speaker 6: start before that. Really didn't have a good month of
- 51:10Speaker 6: June at all. So I don't really know what to
- 51:12Speaker 6: think about Lugo right now. And of course the advanced
- 51:15Speaker 6: analytics guys don't like him, and I'm not using advanced analytics,
- 51:19Speaker 6: but even I could see that his numbers really aren't
- 51:21Speaker 6: that good. His hit rate is too high, his walk
- 51:23Speaker 6: rate is not really that great, and his strike gout
- 51:26Speaker 6: rate is low. So I don't really like what I
- 51:27Speaker 6: see with these numbers, really, But then I was thinking, well,
- 51:30Speaker 6: he's pitching against the Mets, though, like that should be
- 51:33Speaker 6: a pretty good matchup for him.
- 51:34Speaker 5: Right, not necessarily.
- 51:37Speaker 6: They have twenty eight at bats against and they do
- 51:38Speaker 6: only have four guys who have faced him. But they
- 51:41Speaker 6: have seven strikeouts, eight walks, a two point fifty average,
- 51:44Speaker 6: and seven to seventy four ohps, so they have gotten
- 51:47Speaker 6: Tolugo a little bit. But what I will say is
- 51:49Speaker 6: that pretty much all of that has won Sodo though
- 51:51Speaker 6: He's five for nineteen with a home run and six
- 51:54Speaker 6: of the walks, So a lot of their lineup is
- 51:56Speaker 6: unfamiliar to Lugo, and if he could pitch around Sodo,
- 52:00Speaker 6: he should pitch well enough here in my opinion, So
- 52:04Speaker 6: I do think that Lugo should have a decent matchup here.
- 52:07Speaker 6: Plus he's going up against a Met bullpen game, I think,
- 52:10Speaker 6: which probably won't go well. So I still think the
- 52:14Speaker 6: way to play this game is to take the Royals
- 52:16Speaker 6: in the first five. And I considered this. I almost
- 52:19Speaker 6: put it on my card. The money is backing the
- 52:22Speaker 6: Mets with an undecided starter, and it's not gonna be
- 52:25Speaker 6: Manaiah because he pitched two days ago. So I don't
- 52:28Speaker 6: know what they're gonna do here, fifty nine percent of tickets,
- 52:31Speaker 6: eighty eight percent of the cash on the Mets. I
- 52:33Speaker 6: really it's crazy to me that the money seems to
- 52:36Speaker 6: be backing the Mets right now.
- 52:38Speaker 5: It might change as the day goes on. So that's
- 52:40Speaker 5: the thing.
- 52:41Speaker 6: I rely mostly on my handicapping more than the market reader,
- 52:44Speaker 6: though I use the market read as kind of a guide,
- 52:46Speaker 6: and I do like it if the market matches up
- 52:50Speaker 6: with what I'm saying. You know, the Mets are favored
- 52:54Speaker 6: at minus one fifty something, which is crazy. Like, I know, dude,
- 52:59Speaker 6: I know the Mets better than the record looks, and
- 53:01Speaker 6: obviously the oddsmakers are telling you that. But like, should
- 53:05Speaker 6: the Mets really be favored by that amount even against
- 53:08Speaker 6: the bad Kansas City team when you don't even know
- 53:11Speaker 6: who their starting pitcher is gonna be and it's not
- 53:13Speaker 6: gonna be Nolan McClain and they're in a return home
- 53:16Speaker 6: spot off a huge win again, a dramatic extra innings win. Yeah,
- 53:21Speaker 6: I just don't see it, man. I think Kansas City
- 53:23Speaker 6: is the right way to look here. I would play
- 53:25Speaker 6: Kansas City in the first five. Actually, I think you
- 53:28Speaker 6: could take them plus a half run in the first five.
- 53:31Speaker 6: That's what I would do in this game, avoid their bullpen.
- 53:34Speaker 6: But Kansas City plus a half run in the first five,
- 53:37Speaker 6: that was one of the ones that I liked better
- 53:40Speaker 6: on this board. Actually, so and if you do that,
- 53:43Speaker 6: you're gonna pick Lougo must start. But obviously you can't
- 53:45Speaker 6: pick a starter for the Mets, so it'll be action
- 53:48Speaker 6: on that side. But I think that's the way to
- 53:51Speaker 6: play that game right now, Garrett, what's up? No, I
- 53:55Speaker 6: don't do it. I'm too selective. I don't want to
- 53:57Speaker 6: splash the board like that.
- 53:59Speaker 5: You don't. You don't want to have that much variants,
- 54:04Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Like you do.
- 54:05Speaker 6: You do not want to put yourself in a spot
- 54:07Speaker 6: where you could potentially lose like ten grand in a
- 54:11Speaker 6: single day, you know what I mean? Like you want
- 54:13Speaker 6: to have like at most, maybe like a couple grand
- 54:16Speaker 6: on the line in one day if you're betting sort
- 54:19Speaker 6: of the amounts that I do, which is betting to
- 54:22Speaker 6: win three hundred a game. So yeah, yeah, I mean
- 54:27Speaker 6: I recommend against that, but you know, I mean, it's
- 54:29Speaker 6: still good that you know my thoughts are correct on
- 54:32Speaker 6: a lot of these games. I'm gonna have to take
- 54:35Speaker 6: a break soon. My voice is still killing me here,
- 54:37Speaker 6: but I usually do it with five games left to go.
- 54:41Speaker 6: I think one more game and then I'll do it,
- 54:43Speaker 6: maybe because I already talked about this doubleheader, which we
- 54:46Speaker 6: still don't even know is gonna pitch in the second
- 54:49Speaker 6: game there with Milwaukee and Saint Louis. So if you
- 54:52Speaker 6: go to the top of the show, I talked about
- 54:53Speaker 6: the double header, but it's really really difficult to figure
- 54:56Speaker 6: out anything that's going on in that series, all right,
- 55:01Speaker 6: So I'm gonna do two more games, I guess, and
- 55:03Speaker 6: then I'll take a break.
- 55:04Speaker 5: Philadelphia at Cincinnati.
- 55:05Speaker 6: Philadelphia is at a rest disadvantage because they played yesterday,
- 55:09Speaker 6: but they got blasted by Kansas City and it was
- 55:11Speaker 6: an afternoon game, so that will help them out a
- 55:13Speaker 6: little bit. But Cincinnati didn't play yesterday and they're staying
- 55:17Speaker 6: at home, so even though it could be a bounce
- 55:19Speaker 6: back spot for Philadelphia, Philadelphia, by the way, is pretty
- 55:22Speaker 6: good on the road. They're above five hundred on the road.
- 55:24Speaker 6: Cincinnati's below five hundred at home. But Cincinnati has the
- 55:28Speaker 6: rest advantage and they're staying at home, so Cincinnati.
- 55:32Speaker 5: Does have some advantages here.
- 55:35Speaker 6: They do not have a bullpen advantage, and if the
- 55:37Speaker 6: starting pitching is correct on ESPN here, they do not
- 55:41Speaker 6: have a starting pitching edge either, although when I looked
- 55:45Speaker 6: earlier it was undecided for Philly.
- 55:46Speaker 5: Yeah, Philly is undecided right now, so.
- 55:49Speaker 6: That makes it way more difficult tho though you can
- 55:51Speaker 6: play this game right now, and the fact that Philly
- 55:53Speaker 6: is favored at like minus one seventy something that tells
- 55:57Speaker 6: me that it is expected to still be Wheeler.
- 56:00Speaker 5: In this game. So do with that info what you want.
- 56:02Speaker 6: But they haven't officially decided that yet, but based on
- 56:05Speaker 6: the number that's on Philly here, I think it is
- 56:08Speaker 6: going to be Wheeler here. So as far as the
- 56:13Speaker 6: bullpen's here, Philly used four relief pitchers yesterday, so they
- 56:16Speaker 6: do have a bullpen rest disadvantage here, but Cincinnati's bullpen
- 56:20Speaker 6: is pretty unbackable at twenty eighth thoughough Philly has been
- 56:23Speaker 6: bad recently, out of the bullpen, they're all the way
- 56:25Speaker 6: down to eighteenth and they're unrested. So the bullpen advantage
- 56:29Speaker 6: I think Philly would normally have here is not very pronounced.
- 56:33Speaker 6: At the very least offensively, neither team has been that good.
- 56:37Speaker 6: Philly is twentieth, Cincinnati twenty fourth. That's not good. Philadelphia
- 56:42Speaker 6: presumably is still going with Zach Wheeler here.
- 56:45Speaker 5: He's been really good. A two point three six ERA
- 56:47Speaker 5: point nine to four whip.
- 56:49Speaker 6: Started the season late because he was coming off an injury,
- 56:51Speaker 6: but he picked back like he picked back up right
- 56:54Speaker 6: where he left off.
- 56:55Speaker 5: Really good stuff, really good on the road.
- 56:57Speaker 6: Two point h three Roady Ram wasn't that good against
- 57:01Speaker 6: Pittsburgh last time. He still had ten strikeouts in one
- 57:04Speaker 6: walk and four to two thirds innings, though, but he
- 57:07Speaker 6: gave up nine hits and four and runs. So I
- 57:10Speaker 6: don't know what happened in that game because he was
- 57:12Speaker 6: striking a bunch of guys out, but he also allowed
- 57:14Speaker 6: a lot of hits. Very weird pitching line there. But
- 57:17Speaker 6: if you throw that game out, he's been really good. Otherwise,
- 57:20Speaker 6: you know, he's gone I think at least five in
- 57:23Speaker 6: at least five to two thirds innings, and all of
- 57:25Speaker 6: his other outings except for his first one where they
- 57:27Speaker 6: limited him to five innings, he's given up more than
- 57:30Speaker 6: three earned runs only one other time. He's given up
- 57:33Speaker 6: more than two arn runs only three times. Really a
- 57:35Speaker 6: low hit rate, low walk rate as well. Pretty high
- 57:38Speaker 6: strikeout rate. You know, good numbers across the board. His
- 57:43Speaker 6: numbers against I already forget who we're talking about again.
- 57:45Speaker 6: I never, dude, I don't know why my mind works
- 57:47Speaker 6: this way. I never remember who the opponent is after
- 57:50Speaker 6: I dive into the starting pitcher, which sounds gay. Yes,
- 57:54Speaker 6: he does have good numbers against the Reds in sixty
- 57:57Speaker 6: nine at bats, also possibly gay. One eight eight batting
- 58:01Speaker 6: average allowed, five point fifty eight ohps, twenty to six
- 58:04Speaker 6: strikeout walk ratio. All those numbers are good. He definitely
- 58:08Speaker 6: has the upper hand against Cincinnati's bats. So if Wheeler
- 58:11Speaker 6: is pitching, I think he should do well. Andrew Abbott,
- 58:15Speaker 6: it looks like he is getting the start for the Reds.
- 58:17Speaker 6: He's got a good ee ra three point eighty eight,
- 58:19Speaker 6: but his whip is not good one point four to four.
- 58:22Speaker 6: He's got some walk issues. Man. He's been fairly good
- 58:26Speaker 6: in previous seasons, but his walk numbers have become more
- 58:28Speaker 6: of an issue this year. He's not good at home
- 58:31Speaker 6: four point seventy five Homie Ray, and it is a
- 58:33Speaker 6: hitter friendly ballpark. His walk rate has been really bad
- 58:36Speaker 6: over the last month. Like his strikeout rate has actually
- 58:39Speaker 6: been okay, and he hasn't allowed that many runs, so
- 58:42Speaker 6: he's somehow escaping these games. But he's walking way too
- 58:46Speaker 6: many guys.
- 58:46Speaker 5: Dude.
- 58:46Speaker 6: You cannot put this many guys on base and keep
- 58:49Speaker 6: getting away with it.
- 58:51Speaker 5: So that is a problem.
- 58:53Speaker 6: He's got a reasonably low hit rate in the season.
- 58:55Speaker 6: His walk rate is obviously too high. That's one of
- 58:58Speaker 6: his major concerns. His home run are a little bit
- 59:00Speaker 6: of a concern as well. He is a bit of
- 59:03Speaker 6: a fly ball heavy pitcher, which doesn't play that well
- 59:05Speaker 6: in Cincinnati Stadium either. And he's not really a strikeout pitcher.
- 59:09Speaker 6: He has a pretty low strikeout right, so he is
- 59:12Speaker 6: obviously the lesser of the pictures. If Wheeler is pitching
- 59:16Speaker 6: Abbot against Philly, not good numbers and seventy at bats
- 59:20Speaker 6: a big sample. They have a three hundred average and
- 59:22Speaker 6: eight thirty six ops and eleven six strikeout walk racier
- 59:26Speaker 6: against him, So none of those numbers are good. So
- 59:28Speaker 6: I do not want to back Andrew Abbott here, man,
- 59:32Speaker 6: you know, I mean, I know Cincinnati has the rest
- 59:35Speaker 6: advantage here, but if it's going to be Wheeler on
- 59:38Speaker 6: the mound, I mean, I think Philly probably gets this game,
- 59:41Speaker 6: especially after they got embarrassed yesterday, and at least they
- 59:44Speaker 6: had a little bit extra time to travel because they
- 59:46Speaker 6: played in the afternoon yesterday. Minus won seventy is the
- 59:50Speaker 6: price right now that seems to indicate Wheeler's pitching. Like
- 59:54Speaker 6: I said, eighty two percent of tickets, eighty eight percent
- 59:56Speaker 6: of the cash on Philly. They're public, but it looks
- 59:59Speaker 6: like they might be getting some of the money. Money
- 1:00:01Speaker 6: is heavily indicating towards the over nine here. So given
- 1:00:05Speaker 6: all of that, and we're not really totally sure if
- 1:00:07Speaker 6: Wheeler is gonna pitch here, Philly over their team.
- 1:00:10Speaker 5: Total makes some sense to me.
- 1:00:11Speaker 6: And I think because they played yesterday, right and they
- 1:00:14Speaker 6: actually didn't do well offensively yesterday, their offense, their bats
- 1:00:18Speaker 6: might like stay in rhythm because they don't have a
- 1:00:20Speaker 6: day off and they should be able to tee off
- 1:00:23Speaker 6: on abbot based on the matchup numbers we just saw.
- 1:00:26Speaker 6: Plus Cincinnati's bullpen is not good, So I think Philly
- 1:00:28Speaker 6: over their team total makes some sense here. But you're
- 1:00:33Speaker 6: gonna need them to score five or six runs if
- 1:00:35Speaker 6: you do that. They certainly can do that, though, uh
- 1:00:39Speaker 6: my Boston Red Sox are going to the White Sox
- 1:00:42Speaker 6: here the Battle of the Socks. This game is both
- 1:00:47Speaker 6: teams arrested, neither team played yesterday. Red Sox are having
- 1:00:50Speaker 6: to come in from Anaheim though, so they are having
- 1:00:52Speaker 6: to travel across multiple time zones. But like I said,
- 1:00:55Speaker 6: it's easier to do that going west to east than
- 1:00:58Speaker 6: the opposite, so at least there is that because you're
- 1:01:01Speaker 6: just playing earlier. It's sort of like an early evening game,
- 1:01:04Speaker 6: which is easier to do than a late night game.
- 1:01:07Speaker 6: The White Sox just took two out of four against Cleveland,
- 1:01:11Speaker 6: and they won the last two games. Those were big games,
- 1:01:13Speaker 6: and they're returning over from a road trip, so the
- 1:01:15Speaker 6: spot is more negative for the White Sox even though
- 1:01:18Speaker 6: they're staying in the Central time zone here after playing Cleveland.
- 1:01:21Speaker 5: That was a big divisional series.
- 1:01:23Speaker 6: Dude, White Sox and Cleveland, they're both fighting for the
- 1:01:26Speaker 6: division lead right now, with hilariously Minnesota not that far behind.
- 1:01:30Speaker 6: I still would not count Detroit out now that school
- 1:01:33Speaker 6: goes back and whatever, But.
- 1:01:35Speaker 5: Anyway, those are big wins for the White Sox.
- 1:01:37Speaker 6: Plus, returning over from a road trip tends to be
- 1:01:40Speaker 6: kind of a negative spot. Possible that maybe they slightly
- 1:01:43Speaker 6: overlook the Red Sox because the Red Sox are not
- 1:01:46Speaker 6: having a good season.
- 1:01:47Speaker 5: Red Sox are.
- 1:01:48Speaker 6: Actually favored on the road, so the odds makers are
- 1:01:50Speaker 6: respecting the Red Sox here. Maybe the White Sox still
- 1:01:54Speaker 6: get up though, because I mean this is a kind
- 1:01:56Speaker 6: of a matchup of classic teams, you know, teams that
- 1:01:59Speaker 6: have big.
- 1:02:00Speaker 5: Market cities and whatever.
- 1:02:01Speaker 6: So Red Sox have kind of become a, you know,
- 1:02:05Speaker 6: not as big of a market team.
- 1:02:07Speaker 5: Though.
- 1:02:07Speaker 6: Recently, Red Sox did just sweep Anaheim over the weekend
- 1:02:11Speaker 6: and then had Yesterday off, which was definitely good for
- 1:02:14Speaker 6: them because they played the Sunday night game, so if
- 1:02:17Speaker 6: they had to turn around and play yesterday, it would
- 1:02:19Speaker 6: have been a pretty bad spot. Luckily for them, they
- 1:02:22Speaker 6: did not have to do that. I think the Red
- 1:02:24Speaker 6: Sox probably set up a little bit better here, and
- 1:02:27Speaker 6: probably their pitching is more trustworthy Red Sox well. Both
- 1:02:30Speaker 6: teams have a rested bullpen. The Red Sox are the
- 1:02:32Speaker 6: better bullpen. They're the third best bullpen he ra in
- 1:02:36Speaker 6: baseball right now and number five based on whip tied
- 1:02:39Speaker 6: with the Mets and Whips, so they should be ahead
- 1:02:41Speaker 6: of the Mets actually in that ranking because their era
- 1:02:44Speaker 6: is way better, so they're fourth actually in this ranking whatever,
- 1:02:47Speaker 6: they're better than.
- 1:02:48Speaker 5: The White Sox or mediocre. White Sox are twentieth.
- 1:02:51Speaker 6: White Sox are an okay bullpen hitting wise, the White
- 1:02:55Speaker 6: Sox are obviously the better team.
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: They're at eighth.
- 1:02:58Speaker 6: The Red Sox have gotten better recently and they're better
- 1:03:00Speaker 6: on the road, but they're twenty third right now. Red
- 1:03:03Speaker 6: Sox are going with Peyton Toley, who's gonna need to
- 1:03:06Speaker 6: bounce back. Like I said, he's been good on the
- 1:03:08Speaker 6: season though. Three point three to nine ERA, one point
- 1:03:11Speaker 6: one two whip, that's pretty good stuff. He's been basically
- 1:03:15Speaker 6: the same home and away, really doesn't matter. He wasn't
- 1:03:18Speaker 6: good last time at home against Washington though, so he
- 1:03:22Speaker 6: was pitching better at home and that skewed his numbers.
- 1:03:24Speaker 6: Now that maybe that's not a good sign because Washington's
- 1:03:27Speaker 6: a good offense, but so is the White Sox.
- 1:03:29Speaker 5: But totally, I think he was in a personal.
- 1:03:32Speaker 6: Letdown spot because if you look what he did the
- 1:03:33Speaker 6: previous game, he took like a no hitter into the
- 1:03:36Speaker 6: fifth or sixth inning against the Yankees.
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: He really did well against the Yankees.
- 1:03:40Speaker 6: Obviously, he got way up emotionally for that game, so
- 1:03:45Speaker 6: I think he was gonna letdown spot. So I think
- 1:03:47Speaker 6: he bounces back at least to some extent here, because
- 1:03:50Speaker 6: that Washington start was way worse than all of his
- 1:03:52Speaker 6: other starts. He hadn't allowed more than four and runs,
- 1:03:55Speaker 6: and any other start on the season, he's allowed more
- 1:03:57Speaker 6: than three only twice, including that last start. He's got
- 1:04:00Speaker 6: a low hit rate, his walk rate is slightly high.
- 1:04:03Speaker 6: I guess strike out rate is right at one per inning.
- 1:04:06Speaker 6: I know the White Sox are gonna be a pretty
- 1:04:08Speaker 6: formidable opponent, but they're also unfamiliar with him. Greed Chuck
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: is the only hitter has faced him, oh for two
- 1:04:14Speaker 6: with a strikeout and no walks. I think totally should
- 1:04:17Speaker 6: bounce back here and pitch better. Generally, he's good and
- 1:04:21Speaker 6: he's unfamiliar to the White Sox, so he should have
- 1:04:23Speaker 6: that advantage. And on the other side, this makes this
- 1:04:25Speaker 6: a matchup of very tall left handers, and this one
- 1:04:29Speaker 6: Noah Schultz is pitching for the White Sox. I like him,
- 1:04:33Speaker 6: and he's actually only like a year younger than Peyton Toley,
- 1:04:36Speaker 6: even though Peyton totally looks like he could be his
- 1:04:38Speaker 6: father because totally aged himself like twenty years just by
- 1:04:42Speaker 6: growing a mustache, but they're almost the same age. Schultz
- 1:04:46Speaker 6: has not really been as good, but I think the
- 1:04:48Speaker 6: White Sox might have rushed him up a little bit.
- 1:04:51Speaker 6: I think Schultz has some talent man. He's got a
- 1:04:53Speaker 6: pretty good pitch arsenal. He's a tall lefty and his
- 1:04:57Speaker 6: stuff is hard to pick up for hitters. But he's
- 1:05:00Speaker 6: not been really successful though so far five point eight
- 1:05:02Speaker 6: six z Ray, one point three to five whip. He's
- 1:05:05Speaker 6: been a little bit better at home four point nine
- 1:05:07Speaker 6: to one homy Ray. But if you dig into this
- 1:05:09Speaker 6: a little bit, obviously the walks are his huge issue.
- 1:05:12Speaker 6: Like offenses have not been hitting him well, but his
- 1:05:15Speaker 6: walks have been a problem. He got he either got
- 1:05:19Speaker 6: injured or they send him to the miners. I'm not
- 1:05:21Speaker 6: sure which happened here. He came back and he didn't
- 1:05:23Speaker 6: pitch that well against Baltimore last time out. He walked
- 1:05:27Speaker 6: four guys in four to thirty eight, So again, the
- 1:05:29Speaker 6: walks have been an issue for him. Although he had
- 1:05:32Speaker 6: seven strikeouts and only two hits allowed, but he gave
- 1:05:35Speaker 6: up three on runs. Overall, he's got a low hit rate,
- 1:05:37Speaker 6: so he is difficult to hit. But his walk rate
- 1:05:40Speaker 6: is enormous. His walk rate is way too high, and
- 1:05:43Speaker 6: his strikeout rate is decent.
- 1:05:45Speaker 5: So yeah, I think he's a good pitcher.
- 1:05:46Speaker 6: But it's again very common case where you get this
- 1:05:49Speaker 6: young guy that comes up and very similar to Randy Johnson,
- 1:05:53Speaker 6: and that he's really tall, a lefty, and he's having
- 1:05:56Speaker 6: major control.
- 1:05:57Speaker 5: Issues early in his career.
- 1:05:59Speaker 6: He isn't really Johnson, though he doesn't throw as hard
- 1:06:01Speaker 6: of a fastball as Randy Johnson, though Schultz I think
- 1:06:04Speaker 6: throws like mid nineties. But I think his best pitcher,
- 1:06:07Speaker 6: if I remember correct his best pitch, if I remember corrected,
- 1:06:10Speaker 6: he is like a sinker that like drops really hard.
- 1:06:13Speaker 5: Down out of the zone.
- 1:06:15Speaker 6: And of course the Red Sox have never faced him,
- 1:06:17Speaker 6: so he does have an advantage there against the Red Sox. However,
- 1:06:23Speaker 6: you know, both pitchers have that unfamiliarity edge. I'm gonna
- 1:06:27Speaker 6: lean to the Red Sox here because I think it
- 1:06:28Speaker 6: is a better spot for them with the White Sox
- 1:06:30Speaker 6: returning home from the from the road totally has established
- 1:06:34Speaker 6: himself so far better than Schultz.
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: Has money seems to agree.
- 1:06:38Speaker 6: Seventy two percent of tickets, ninety four percent of the
- 1:06:40Speaker 6: cash on the Red Sox.
- 1:06:41Speaker 5: They're favored even though they have the lesser record.
- 1:06:44Speaker 6: I think the public is gonna have a tendency to
- 1:06:47Speaker 6: kind of shy away from the Red Sox because why
- 1:06:49Speaker 6: would you want to lay a favorite price with the
- 1:06:51Speaker 6: team that has the worst offense in you know, the
- 1:06:55Speaker 6: worst record right on the road. So even though it
- 1:06:58Speaker 6: does look like they're getting some public ticket percentage here,
- 1:07:01Speaker 6: I don't think the public is really gonna back the
- 1:07:03Speaker 6: Red Sox here, even though I guess they'll look at
- 1:07:05Speaker 6: the pitcher's eras and like totally better for that reason.
- 1:07:08Speaker 6: But the public likes offenses, and obviously the White Sox
- 1:07:11Speaker 6: have been the better offense and they have the better record,
- 1:07:15Speaker 6: So I think the public is gonna maybe think that
- 1:07:17Speaker 6: there's value on the White Sox, and it does. It
- 1:07:19Speaker 6: looks pretty strange that the Red Sox are a road
- 1:07:22Speaker 6: favorite here, so I think the odds makers are kind
- 1:07:24Speaker 6: of signaling something with that. You know, I'm I'm not.
- 1:07:28Speaker 5: Being biased about it, you know, as a Red Sox fan.
- 1:07:30Speaker 6: I mean, if anything, I'm biased negatively towards the Red
- 1:07:32Speaker 6: Sox because they suck so bad that, you know, But
- 1:07:36Speaker 6: obviously the odds makers continue to tell you the Red
- 1:07:38Speaker 6: Sox are not as.
- 1:07:39Speaker 5: Bad as they look.
- 1:07:40Speaker 6: They do have good pitching, and yeah, minus one twenty
- 1:07:43Speaker 6: something is the price. You'll also get the bullpen advantage
- 1:07:45Speaker 6: if you play the Red Sox there, so probably that
- 1:07:48Speaker 6: is the better.
- 1:07:48Speaker 5: Way to play.
- 1:07:49Speaker 6: It is Red Sox money line.
- 1:07:52Speaker 5: The money's backing.
- 1:07:53Speaker 6: The over slightly seventy three percent of tickets eighty seven
- 1:07:56Speaker 6: percent of the cash on the over.
- 1:07:58Speaker 5: I would lean under, probably even full game.
- 1:08:02Speaker 6: I mean, the White Sox bullpen isn't really one that
- 1:08:04Speaker 6: you really need to avoid. And you know, we have
- 1:08:07Speaker 6: both teams rested yesterday, so you know, I talk about how.
- 1:08:09Speaker 5: That can cool off the hitting.
- 1:08:11Speaker 6: The bullpens get rested total at eight and a half.
- 1:08:15Speaker 6: Red Sox don't really hit that well though again they
- 1:08:17Speaker 6: do hit better on the road, and they've been hitting
- 1:08:19Speaker 6: better recently. White Sox do have a good offense. But
- 1:08:22Speaker 6: still I think we have a pitching matchup that might
- 1:08:24Speaker 6: lend itself to a lower scoring game. Both pitchers with
- 1:08:27Speaker 6: unfamiliarity here and the bullpens I think are at least decent.
- 1:08:31Speaker 6: Red Sox I would say are good, so an under
- 1:08:34Speaker 6: makes something.
- 1:08:35Speaker 5: My first thought.
- 1:08:36Speaker 6: Actually, when I saw that pitching matchup was potentially an.
- 1:08:39Speaker 5: Under in that one, So do what you want with that.
- 1:08:42Speaker 5: I'll be right back.
- 1:08:43Speaker 6: I'll talk about the remaining five games here. I'm gonna
- 1:08:46Speaker 6: have a play in the WNBA and in the World
- 1:08:48Speaker 6: Cup when I come back, So I have one play
- 1:08:50Speaker 6: in each sport. And I think the Cubs play that
- 1:08:54Speaker 6: I give out I think is the worst, worst of
- 1:08:56Speaker 6: all of them. I'll be right back.
- 1:09:05Speaker 5: Yep.
- 1:09:06Speaker 6: Inside, I want to kill myself. We're on oh and
- 1:09:11Speaker 6: seven run over the last two days after tonight.
- 1:09:13Speaker 5: It was just complete bullshit.
- 1:09:15Speaker 6: So that's that's I'm gonna start off this show horrible
- 1:09:18Speaker 6: Sunday one and five. I don't even know what to
- 1:09:21Speaker 6: tell you above that.
- 1:09:22Speaker 5: I just don't want to do this anymore. I have
- 1:09:24Speaker 5: never seen anything like this.
- 1:09:26Speaker 6: Man with the slump continuing, two straight losses, not a
- 1:09:31Speaker 6: good day at all.
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: Oh in four that have not had a good season.
- 1:09:36Speaker 6: Man with wookends the slump that I'm on, and the
- 1:09:40Speaker 6: slump continues.
- 1:09:42Speaker 5: I've reached a new pink. Actually, I'm going to burn
- 1:09:46Speaker 5: my browins hat man. I don't know what is going
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: on with the Bruins arch hape. Is that what it is?
- 1:09:51Speaker 5: I don't even know it's March ninth. I think who
- 1:09:55Speaker 5: even knows? Man, I don't know what data is anymore.
- 1:09:57Speaker 6: But I'm not I don't even know what data is anymore. Man,
- 1:10:00Speaker 6: Back with you after the worst day that I could
- 1:10:03Speaker 6: possibly have, Back with you as I always am.
- 1:10:07Speaker 5: Until I die, at least oh and two. Yesterday and
- 1:10:11Speaker 5: yesterday it did not go well for me.
- 1:10:12Speaker 6: Own five, the worst month that I've ever had in
- 1:10:16Speaker 6: my eighteen years doing this.
- 1:10:18Speaker 5: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:10:20Speaker 6: The slump, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
- 1:10:25Speaker 5: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
- 1:10:28Speaker 6: I don't even know what I should do at this point,
- 1:10:30Speaker 6: other than potentially end it all.
- 1:10:38Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:10:40Speaker 6: The next game here Cleveland and Minnesota. Minnesota, I think
- 1:10:44Speaker 6: is in a bad spot. They're turning on from a
- 1:10:46Speaker 6: road trip where they beat Houston and the Yankees, so
- 1:10:50Speaker 6: bad spot for Minnesota in my opinion, coming back from
- 1:10:53Speaker 6: a road trip could be a letdown after beating the
- 1:10:55Speaker 6: Yankees twice in somewhat blowout fashion. To However, they're facing Cleveland,
- 1:11:01Speaker 6: who's ahead of them in the Ale Central.
- 1:11:03Speaker 5: Here.
- 1:11:03Speaker 6: It's a big divisional series, so Minnesota can't really afford
- 1:11:07Speaker 6: to be totally distracted here. Even though usually the return
- 1:11:10Speaker 6: home spot is a distracted spot, they might still show
- 1:11:14Speaker 6: up and pay attention to Cleveland. Cleveland should show up
- 1:11:17Speaker 6: as well, because they're not really that far ahead of Minnesota.
- 1:11:19Speaker 6: And Cleveland did just lose the last two games to
- 1:11:22Speaker 6: the White Sox. Like I said, that was a big
- 1:11:24Speaker 6: series though, so maybe they will be a little bit
- 1:11:26Speaker 6: hungover after a big series against the White Sox. But
- 1:11:30Speaker 6: on the other hand, it could be positive for Cleveland
- 1:11:32Speaker 6: too because they're.
- 1:11:32Speaker 5: Starting a road trip.
- 1:11:34Speaker 6: Usually your focus when you start a road trip, so
- 1:11:36Speaker 6: I don't know which way this is gonna go, but
- 1:11:38Speaker 6: you know that I usually default to.
- 1:11:41Speaker 5: The team that's starting the road trip.
- 1:11:42Speaker 6: Against a team that's returning home from a road trip,
- 1:11:45Speaker 6: I tend to want to go with that team starting
- 1:11:47Speaker 6: the road trip. I've faded the team returning home, so
- 1:11:50Speaker 6: that would have me looking towards Cleveland in this game.
- 1:11:53Speaker 6: Neither team played yesterday. I don't believe Cleveland has the
- 1:11:56Speaker 6: better bullpen. They are where are they? There's somewhere in
- 1:12:00Speaker 6: the middle here. They are fifteenth, Yeah, right in the middle.
- 1:12:04Speaker 6: Their decent bullpen Minnesota's is horrible. They're twenty ninth. He
- 1:12:08Speaker 6: could make the argument they're the worst, so they're not
- 1:12:11Speaker 6: a good bullpen. Minnesota is the better offense at seventh.
- 1:12:15Speaker 6: Cleveland has been bad, twenty eighth, tied with the Mets.
- 1:12:18Speaker 6: Not good, still waiting on some of their injured players
- 1:12:21Speaker 6: to come back to I think Cleveland's going with Joey
- 1:12:24Speaker 6: Cantillo here. Kind of tough to gauge the starting pitching matchup.
- 1:12:29Speaker 6: Canteo three point eight six e RA is pretty good,
- 1:12:32Speaker 6: one point.
- 1:12:32Speaker 5: Three to six whip is not that good.
- 1:12:35Speaker 6: He's not as good on the road four point twenty
- 1:12:37Speaker 6: seven road ERA.
- 1:12:39Speaker 5: He walked five guys in his last down and he
- 1:12:41Speaker 5: gets Texas. That's not great.
- 1:12:43Speaker 6: Texas not the greatest offense here, and Cantillo has some
- 1:12:48Speaker 6: command issues here. Looking at his numbers on the season,
- 1:12:51Speaker 6: he does have a low hit rate, but his walks
- 1:12:52Speaker 6: have been an issue. His strikeout rate is pretty good,
- 1:12:55Speaker 6: but yeah, the walks are his huge issue. Cantillo would
- 1:12:58Speaker 6: actually be a pretty decent pitcher if he.
- 1:13:00Speaker 5: Stopped walking people. Against Minnesota.
- 1:13:05Speaker 6: They have forty two at bats against him, and Cantio
- 1:13:07Speaker 6: has actually had the upper hand against them. Even though
- 1:13:10Speaker 6: Minnesota actually does hit pretty well at home, but two
- 1:13:12Speaker 6: thirty eight batting average allowed six twenty nine ops, seventeen
- 1:13:16Speaker 6: to five strike out walk ratio.
- 1:13:18Speaker 5: Cantio's got pretty.
- 1:13:19Speaker 6: Good numbers here against Minnesota, so he does look like
- 1:13:22Speaker 6: he matches up pretty well. Taj Bradley is going for Minnesota.
- 1:13:28Speaker 6: He started to pitch better again recently. He's a guy
- 1:13:30Speaker 6: I can't figure out, dude, like I gave out a
- 1:13:33Speaker 6: couple of plays on him when he wasn't pitching well.
- 1:13:35Speaker 6: He pitched well at the beginning of the season. He
- 1:13:38Speaker 6: struggled when he was with Tampa Bay, but I always
- 1:13:40Speaker 6: looked at his numbers and thought, I mean, this guy
- 1:13:42Speaker 6: has strikeout stuff, so he's got some talent here. He's
- 1:13:45Speaker 6: got decent numbers this year three point eight six ERA,
- 1:13:49Speaker 6: one point two to nine WHIP. It's a little high,
- 1:13:51Speaker 6: but it's not that bad. He's been better at home
- 1:13:53Speaker 6: three point five eight home Mira, so the home road
- 1:13:56Speaker 6: splits are in his favor. And again, he's pitched well
- 1:13:59Speaker 6: recent His last few starts have all been pretty good,
- 1:14:02Speaker 6: although his walk rate is still a little bit high.
- 1:14:04Speaker 6: Had a lot of strikeouts last time at eleven strikeouts
- 1:14:07Speaker 6: against Houston in five innings.
- 1:14:09Speaker 5: That's pretty good. So he is fooling some batters right now.
- 1:14:12Speaker 6: He's got a high strikeout rate on the season, a
- 1:14:14Speaker 6: pretty low hit rate.
- 1:14:15Speaker 5: His walk rate is a little bit high.
- 1:14:17Speaker 6: So again, that's really the main issue with him is
- 1:14:19Speaker 6: the walks, because the rest of his numbers are pretty good.
- 1:14:22Speaker 6: He's kind of hard to hit. He strikes out a
- 1:14:24Speaker 6: lot of guys. That's all pretty good. His numbers against
- 1:14:28Speaker 6: Cleveland are actually not good in nineteen at bats. You
- 1:14:33Speaker 6: know what I think I might should I add this
- 1:14:34Speaker 6: to my card. Three sixty eight average allowed, nine to
- 1:14:37Speaker 6: twenty six oh bs.
- 1:14:38Speaker 5: That's bad.
- 1:14:40Speaker 6: Eight to one strikeout walk ratio. I don't know, man,
- 1:14:45Speaker 6: in only nineteen at bats is a small sample. But
- 1:14:48Speaker 6: let me see what the market is doing here. Market
- 1:14:52Speaker 6: is on Minnesota right now at minus one sixteen or so,
- 1:14:55Speaker 6: fifty three percent of tickets, sixty seven percent of the
- 1:14:58Speaker 6: cash on them, and money backing the over eight and
- 1:15:00Speaker 6: a half or whatever that's worth. I like Cleveland in
- 1:15:03Speaker 6: this game, man, I got those matchup numbers correct with Cantello, right,
- 1:15:08Speaker 6: let me see. Plus it's a return home spot. I'm
- 1:15:11Speaker 6: considering adding this play hold on, let me see canteo. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:15:21Speaker 6: let me look at what Action Network has to say
- 1:15:23Speaker 6: about this, because this is at least this is a
- 1:15:26Speaker 6: better situation than the one that I gave out on
- 1:15:28Speaker 6: the Cubs.
- 1:15:29Speaker 5: I think twins, where are you at? Yeah?
- 1:15:33Speaker 6: Action Network seems to kind of be signaling that way
- 1:15:37Speaker 6: and also kind of agreeing with the Cubs signaling towards Cleveland.
- 1:15:42Speaker 5: I mean, and the Cubs. You know what.
- 1:15:46Speaker 6: Cleveland's got the better bullpen too, So this is gonna
- 1:15:48Speaker 6: be a full game play. You can find it at
- 1:15:50Speaker 6: even money out there or a price that's pretty close
- 1:15:53Speaker 6: to that. Yeah, all right, I'm gonna add a second play.
- 1:15:57Speaker 6: A lot of times I get screwed by adding these
- 1:15:59Speaker 6: extra plays, but let's add Cleveland as a play here.
- 1:16:02Speaker 6: There you go, Cleveland plus one hundred. Although again, I
- 1:16:07Speaker 6: know Minnesota maybe isn't gonna be totally distracted because Cleveland's
- 1:16:10Speaker 6: ahead of them in the standings.
- 1:16:11Speaker 5: Cleveland, I know, is coming off.
- 1:16:13Speaker 6: A big series, but still I like the team starting
- 1:16:15Speaker 6: a road trip against the team it's returning home from one.
- 1:16:19Speaker 6: So let's go with Cleveland there. Plus, I think the
- 1:16:21Speaker 6: pitching matchup works works out that way too. So if
- 1:16:25Speaker 6: that wasn't the case, I would not do it. Next
- 1:16:28Speaker 6: game up. You know, I already talked about the doubleheader
- 1:16:30Speaker 6: with Milwaukee Saint Louis.
- 1:16:32Speaker 5: Go look at the top of the show for that.
- 1:16:33Speaker 6: Not much to say because we don't know who's pitching
- 1:16:35Speaker 6: in the second game. I will say one thing though,
- 1:16:38Speaker 6: If McGreevy does not pitching Game one for Saint Louis,
- 1:16:41Speaker 6: I'm almost one hundred percent sure that he is starting
- 1:16:44Speaker 6: for Saint Louis in game two if he doesn't pitch
- 1:16:47Speaker 6: in game one. So I will say that for Milwaukee,
- 1:16:51Speaker 6: let me look at what they've done, we might be
- 1:16:52Speaker 6: able to predict who they're starting here. Wood drives back
- 1:16:55Speaker 6: on the DL though, so miss Zerowski winned Harrison last No,
- 1:17:03Speaker 6: he pitched.
- 1:17:03Speaker 5: Too recently, basically on the third.
- 1:17:05Speaker 6: So yeah, I don't know what Milwaukee's gonna do in
- 1:17:07Speaker 6: their second game there because they don't have that many
- 1:17:10Speaker 6: options with Woodruff heard again and whatever's going to So
- 1:17:13Speaker 6: I don't know anyway, Anaheim Texas. On the surface, I
- 1:17:17Speaker 6: thought I was gonna get a give on an under
- 1:17:19Speaker 6: on this game. This really really looks like it's an
- 1:17:21Speaker 6: under to me. But I have one reason why I'm
- 1:17:25Speaker 6: not doing it pretty much. But this game, I still
- 1:17:28Speaker 6: like the under here and this looks like it.
- 1:17:29Speaker 5: Should be an under.
- 1:17:31Speaker 6: Both teams are off yesterday, the game's in Texas, and
- 1:17:34Speaker 6: you know I like Texas unders in Texas, so the
- 1:17:37Speaker 6: last time I gave one out it didn't happen, which
- 1:17:39Speaker 6: pisses me off.
- 1:17:40Speaker 5: But they played low scoring games at home.
- 1:17:43Speaker 6: Total is low in this game, but I always talk
- 1:17:45Speaker 6: about how it's low for a reason. Now, with both
- 1:17:47Speaker 6: teams being off yesterday, I think that should cool off.
- 1:17:51Speaker 5: The offenses a little bit.
- 1:17:52Speaker 6: Anaheim's coming in starting a road trip after getting swept
- 1:17:55Speaker 6: by the Red Sox and swept by Seattle prior to that,
- 1:17:58Speaker 6: but that was on the road, but still coming off
- 1:18:02Speaker 6: a bunch of losses. The Angels should be in the
- 1:18:03Speaker 6: more focused spot here. So maybe the Angels are maybe
- 1:18:08Speaker 6: a way to look in this game, actually believe it
- 1:18:10Speaker 6: or not, although Texas is just staying at home, so
- 1:18:13Speaker 6: it's not a return home spot for Texas. Both bullpen's arrested,
- 1:18:18Speaker 6: but Anaheim's bullpen is still not really backable. They're not
- 1:18:21Speaker 6: good at twenty third. Texas is the better bullpen at tenth,
- 1:18:24Speaker 6: although they've struggled a little bit recently and gotten on
- 1:18:27Speaker 6: my bad side with some of those underplays there. Texas
- 1:18:32Speaker 6: not a great offense at eighteenth tie of Detroit. Anaheim
- 1:18:35Speaker 6: is twenty second. They've really struggled. I think they're actually
- 1:18:38Speaker 6: better on the road, Anaheim is going with. Speaking of
- 1:18:41Speaker 6: better on the road, Anaheim is going with Jose Soriano
- 1:18:44Speaker 6: three point four to two era for him one point
- 1:18:47Speaker 6: three to two.
- 1:18:47Speaker 5: Whip is not that good, you know.
- 1:18:49Speaker 6: I mean he gets too wild, but he is good
- 1:18:51Speaker 6: on the road last year and this year he's better
- 1:18:54Speaker 6: on the road, so you when you back him, you
- 1:18:57Speaker 6: usually want to back him on the road. Two point
- 1:18:59Speaker 6: nine to one ROADI al right, that's pretty good. He
- 1:19:02Speaker 6: pitched well in his last start, but it was at
- 1:19:05Speaker 6: Seattle Pitcher Friendly Park, but he did well, so maybe
- 1:19:08Speaker 6: he is kind of returning back into form here. He's
- 1:19:11Speaker 6: kind of a streaky pitcher in a way. But usually
- 1:19:14Speaker 6: I think you want to go with his home road
- 1:19:16Speaker 6: splits typically and fade him at home and back him
- 1:19:19Speaker 6: on the road usually except when I faded him on
- 1:19:21Speaker 6: the road at the A's Stadium, but that was a
- 1:19:23Speaker 6: completely different scenario and we got the over easily. In
- 1:19:26Speaker 6: that one correct. Now, Soriano's difficult to hit. He's allowed
- 1:19:30Speaker 6: very few hits. His walk rate is too high. His
- 1:19:33Speaker 6: strike out rate is also high, and he induces a
- 1:19:35Speaker 6: lot of ground balls. So he's got a lot of talent.
- 1:19:38Speaker 6: He could definitely fool major league hitters. His problem is
- 1:19:40Speaker 6: that he gets wild. He's got to get his walk
- 1:19:43Speaker 6: number down. His numbers, don't worry. Those are against the
- 1:19:46Speaker 6: Red Sox. Red Sox were able to sweep sweep Anaheim
- 1:19:51Speaker 6: Anaheim without having to face Soriano, so there you go.
- 1:19:55Speaker 6: But against Texas, yeah, he does have good numbers against Texas.
- 1:19:59Speaker 6: Two twenties six average allowed, five ninety five ohps and
- 1:20:02Speaker 6: fifty three at bats fourteen to five strike out walk racios.
- 1:20:05Speaker 5: So that's pretty good.
- 1:20:07Speaker 6: So Soriano does well on the road and does well
- 1:20:09Speaker 6: against Texas. I think he has a good matchup here.
- 1:20:13Speaker 6: The problem with the problem with the under for me
- 1:20:15Speaker 6: is actually Jacob de Grom. Believe it or not, de
- 1:20:18Speaker 6: Grom's been good a three point four to eighty ra
- 1:20:21Speaker 6: point nine to nine whip.
- 1:20:22Speaker 5: At his old age, he's still pitching effectively.
- 1:20:25Speaker 6: He's been really good at home two point three to
- 1:20:27Speaker 6: eight home rate is a very pitcher friendly stadium here.
- 1:20:31Speaker 5: He's been pitching well recently.
- 1:20:32Speaker 6: He's in good form, had pretty much a really good
- 1:20:35Speaker 6: month of June here.
- 1:20:37Speaker 5: Low hit rate, low walk rate, high strikeout rate.
- 1:20:41Speaker 6: All of his numbers are good, except he allows too
- 1:20:42Speaker 6: many home runs because he's a fly ball heavy pitcher.
- 1:20:45Speaker 6: But obviously pitching in Texas's home stadium can knock those
- 1:20:49Speaker 6: balls down.
- 1:20:52Speaker 5: Sounds pretty gang.
- 1:20:53Speaker 6: You know what my problem is gonna be, though, Believe
- 1:20:55Speaker 6: it or not, he does not do well against Anaheim.
- 1:20:58Speaker 6: In fifty four at bats, three fifty tea and average
- 1:21:00Speaker 6: allowed one thousand and three ops.
- 1:21:03Speaker 5: That is not good.
- 1:21:04Speaker 6: Sixteen to five strike out walk ratio, that's fine, but
- 1:21:07Speaker 6: the rest of these numbers definitely worry me.
- 1:21:11Speaker 5: So looking at this game, I still lean under.
- 1:21:16Speaker 6: I mean, the full game is seven, but I think
- 1:21:18Speaker 6: you can't really back Anaheim's bullpen, so I think a
- 1:21:20Speaker 6: first five under still makes sense, but I don't really
- 1:21:23Speaker 6: want to do it, especially to Gram with bad matchup numbers.
- 1:21:26Speaker 6: Plus the number that you're gonna get is gonna be
- 1:21:30Speaker 6: like three and a half, which is you know, I'll
- 1:21:32Speaker 6: do it sometimes, but it is a little bit iffy,
- 1:21:34Speaker 6: and I really don't want to do it here, but
- 1:21:37Speaker 6: I still think I do lean that way towards the
- 1:21:39Speaker 6: under three and a half in the first five money
- 1:21:42Speaker 6: is back in the over though seventy one percent of tickets,
- 1:21:45Speaker 6: ninety percent of the cash on the over. I mean
- 1:21:48Speaker 6: it makes more sense to go full game if you're
- 1:21:50Speaker 6: gonna really do an over here because you want Anaheim's.
- 1:21:53Speaker 6: The bullpen included in that total is seven, so it
- 1:21:56Speaker 6: is really low. And again I always talk about you
- 1:21:59Speaker 6: know it's low for reason it's expected to be a
- 1:22:01Speaker 6: low scoring game. The money is also backing Anaheim, and
- 1:22:04Speaker 6: I actually do agree with that. Eighty four percent of tickets,
- 1:22:07Speaker 6: seventy percent of the cash on Texas. They're a public side,
- 1:22:11Speaker 6: so I think it's there are a lot of things
- 1:22:12Speaker 6: that go into that. I think Anaheim's in a positive spot,
- 1:22:15Speaker 6: like a focused spot starting your road trip. Just get
- 1:22:18Speaker 6: out of home when everything's going bad for you. They
- 1:22:20Speaker 6: hit better on the road. Soriano's better on the road,
- 1:22:23Speaker 6: and Soriano has a better matchup here. De gram is
- 1:22:26Speaker 6: better at home, but he's got bad matchup numbers, and
- 1:22:29Speaker 6: you know you're gonna pay a price for De Grom
- 1:22:31Speaker 6: minus one sixty something here. That's a pretty high price
- 1:22:34Speaker 6: given that Soriano could definitely battle at least in this game.
- 1:22:38Speaker 5: So I think the price is too high.
- 1:22:40Speaker 6: In Texas, I think maybe that is actually the better
- 1:22:42Speaker 6: way to play this game is to play Anaheim in
- 1:22:44Speaker 6: the first five, take take a half run on the spread.
- 1:22:48Speaker 6: With Anaheim in the first five, you might be able
- 1:22:50Speaker 6: to get that one done given what that pitching matchup is.
- 1:22:52Speaker 6: So I think that would be maybe the way I
- 1:22:54Speaker 6: would actually lean there where I started out thinking an
- 1:22:57Speaker 6: under in that game. Arizona San Diego. San Diego lost
- 1:23:03Speaker 6: the game yesterday. It was a return home spot, plus
- 1:23:06Speaker 6: they were coming up being in the Dodger so it
- 1:23:07Speaker 6: wasn't a great spot for San Diego.
- 1:23:09Speaker 5: They lost eight to nothing.
- 1:23:11Speaker 6: But you know, I talk about when a team loses
- 1:23:13Speaker 6: in the return home spot, a lot of times they
- 1:23:16Speaker 6: bounce back in the next game.
- 1:23:17Speaker 5: And if a team loses badly.
- 1:23:19Speaker 6: And they get shut out at home, a lot of
- 1:23:21Speaker 6: times they bounce back in the next game after that too,
- 1:23:24Speaker 6: So it is a bounce back spot for San Diego here.
- 1:23:27Speaker 6: San Diego should have the better bullpen. They did get
- 1:23:31Speaker 6: a little bit of rest yesterday. At least they only
- 1:23:33Speaker 6: used two guys out of the bullpen yesterday, so at
- 1:23:36Speaker 6: least that should help.
- 1:23:37Speaker 5: Them a little bit.
- 1:23:38Speaker 6: Arizona's bullpen, I think is the lesser of the two.
- 1:23:40Speaker 6: They used two guys out of the bullpen as well.
- 1:23:42Speaker 6: Arizona is ranked sixth, and their era is not really
- 1:23:45Speaker 6: that bad right now.
- 1:23:47Speaker 5: I still think they're more of like a mid.
- 1:23:49Speaker 6: Tier bullpen though in San Diego is ranked thirteenth, but
- 1:23:52Speaker 6: I still think they're like a top five bullpen. They
- 1:23:55Speaker 6: just had some struggles recently, but a lot of it
- 1:23:57Speaker 6: is because they've just not had rest and now they're
- 1:24:00Speaker 6: a little bit more rested San Diego. We know their
- 1:24:02Speaker 6: offense hasn't been good. They're dead last thirtieth, but Arizona's
- 1:24:07Speaker 6: twenty six, which is not much better. Arizona's going with
- 1:24:10Speaker 6: Zach Gallon here.
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: He is not doing well.
- 1:24:13Speaker 6: Six point three sixty Ray, one point five to seven
- 1:24:16Speaker 6: whip that is really bad. He's worse on the road
- 1:24:19Speaker 6: to six point nine to five Roady Ray not pitching well.
- 1:24:23Speaker 6: Really not much to like about Gallon at all. He's
- 1:24:26Speaker 6: not been pitching well recently either. High hit rate, low
- 1:24:29Speaker 6: walk rates. So at least there's that he doesn't walk people,
- 1:24:31Speaker 6: but his strikeout rate is really low too. He's not
- 1:24:34Speaker 6: fooling anybody. You know, one thing that you might be
- 1:24:39Speaker 6: able to say as well. He's going to be in
- 1:24:40Speaker 6: a pitcher friendly ballpark here in San Diego, so that
- 1:24:44Speaker 6: should help right against a weak offense. And he did
- 1:24:46Speaker 6: pitch against San Diego at home earlier this year. He
- 1:24:48Speaker 6: only went three innings in that outing, but he was good.
- 1:24:51Speaker 6: He gave him one hit and had a clean a
- 1:24:54Speaker 6: clean sheet. Otherwise, if we're in soccer mode, three strikeouts,
- 1:24:58Speaker 6: no walks there, his numbers are actually not.
- 1:25:02Speaker 5: Good overall against San Diego though.
- 1:25:03Speaker 6: One hundred and forty eight at bats, two fifty average,
- 1:25:06Speaker 6: eight oh six ops, thirty seven strikeouts.
- 1:25:09Speaker 5: Fifteen walks. It's a lot of walks.
- 1:25:11Speaker 6: So he doesn't do well against San Diego. Typically, San
- 1:25:14Speaker 6: Diego is listed is undecided here, but on the board
- 1:25:17Speaker 6: they have listed Herman Marquez, which I know that doesn't
- 1:25:22Speaker 6: look good. Marquez is not a good pitcher, but we
- 1:25:26Speaker 6: got to kind of put this into context here. Marquez
- 1:25:29Speaker 6: pitched most of his career with Colorado, so like Colorado,
- 1:25:33Speaker 6: pitching for Colorado does not tell you who a pitcher is.
- 1:25:36Speaker 6: He literally his entire career until this year was with Colorado,
- 1:25:40Speaker 6: and yeah, his numbers haven't been that good.
- 1:25:42Speaker 5: A couple of years actually were pretty.
- 1:25:44Speaker 6: Good for Colorado there, although yeah, I mean he's still
- 1:25:47Speaker 6: actually not even that old.
- 1:25:48Speaker 5: He's thirty one.
- 1:25:49Speaker 6: With San Diego, you gotta figure that he's going to
- 1:25:52Speaker 6: start pitching better at some point in this much more
- 1:25:55Speaker 6: pitcher friendly stadium. I know his numbers are not good
- 1:25:57Speaker 6: so far, five point seven to ninety RA, one point
- 1:26:00Speaker 6: four to seven whip. He's been really bad at home,
- 1:26:03Speaker 6: which makes no sense. Ten point three to eight Homie Ray.
- 1:26:07Speaker 6: I still think that's gonna turn around, though, Man, you know,
- 1:26:11Speaker 6: I don't know what the deal is with that.
- 1:26:12Speaker 5: You look at his numbers.
- 1:26:13Speaker 6: His hit rate is slightly high, as walk rate is
- 1:26:16Speaker 6: definitely too high, so that's not good.
- 1:26:18Speaker 5: His strike out rate is low.
- 1:26:19Speaker 6: I know there's not a lot to like here with
- 1:26:21Speaker 6: these numbers, but I think Marquez might be able to
- 1:26:26Speaker 6: do okay in this matchup. I mean, I think at
- 1:26:28Speaker 6: some point he's going to start pitching a little bit
- 1:26:30Speaker 6: better than this, especially in San Diego Stadium. He's got
- 1:26:33Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty eight at bats against Arizona and
- 1:26:36Speaker 6: he's actually had the upper hand against them to twenty
- 1:26:38Speaker 6: seven average seven h nine ops. I know that's not low,
- 1:26:42Speaker 6: but it's still below that seven to fifty threshold. His
- 1:26:44Speaker 6: strikeout walk numbers are not that good though, twenty three
- 1:26:47Speaker 6: to fourteen and that's not good. And you know his
- 1:26:49Speaker 6: numbers are still bad and off across the board that
- 1:26:52Speaker 6: I don't really want to back him, but I think
- 1:26:54Speaker 6: I would lean towards San Diego in this game, though,
- 1:26:57Speaker 6: I think they do have a couple of edges.
- 1:26:59Speaker 5: Here and there favored.
- 1:27:02Speaker 6: Marquez being favored does seem kind of ridiculous, Like do
- 1:27:05Speaker 6: you really want to back Marquez is a favorite? I
- 1:27:07Speaker 6: don't know, but I think you will get a bullpen
- 1:27:09Speaker 6: advantage and a situational advantage, and I think he has
- 1:27:11Speaker 6: a better matchup numbers over Gowan. I mean, Gallen has
- 1:27:14Speaker 6: been really bad. So I lean San Diego. Here. They're
- 1:27:17Speaker 6: on minus one twenty here. You know, maybe that price
- 1:27:22Speaker 6: is a little bit too high. Fifty eight percent of ticket,
- 1:27:24Speaker 6: seventy three percent of the cash on Arizona though, so
- 1:27:26Speaker 6: the money's back in Arizona. Money's also back in the
- 1:27:30Speaker 6: over eight and a half. I wouldn't really disagree with
- 1:27:34Speaker 6: the over. I mean, it still looks like it's a
- 1:27:35Speaker 6: pretty shitty pitching matchup here between you know, two starters
- 1:27:40Speaker 6: who are not very good. So yeah, the over does
- 1:27:43Speaker 6: still make some sense in that one. And it's you know,
- 1:27:45Speaker 6: an eight and a half, it's almost nine, which is
- 1:27:47Speaker 6: pretty high for San Diego.
- 1:27:49Speaker 5: Total.
- 1:27:51Speaker 6: All right, Toronto and San Francisco. San Francisco and won
- 1:27:55Speaker 6: again yesterday, even though they were turning over from a
- 1:27:57Speaker 6: road trip. They want ten to one. But I showed
- 1:27:59Speaker 6: you I think Kevin Goussman. Goussman had really bad numbers
- 1:28:03Speaker 6: against San Francisco, so I told you I did not
- 1:28:06Speaker 6: like the matchup for him. Maybe this will be a
- 1:28:08Speaker 6: bounce back for Toronto. But we don't even know who
- 1:28:10Speaker 6: Toronto's starting for their pitcher here. I went back five
- 1:28:13Speaker 6: games to try to figure that out, and I believe
- 1:28:17Speaker 6: it's a bullpen game. I'm pretty sure five games ago
- 1:28:19Speaker 6: Toronto went with a bullpen game, So I'm pretty sure
- 1:28:22Speaker 6: they're going with a bullpen game here with like Miles
- 1:28:24Speaker 6: and a couple of those other guys pitching. So do
- 1:28:27Speaker 6: what you want with that info. I don't know if
- 1:28:28Speaker 6: that's great, but Toronto used two relief pitchers yesterday, San
- 1:28:33Speaker 6: Francisco used one. San Francisco's bullpen has struggled recently, though
- 1:28:37Speaker 6: they were good yesterday for them, you know, just that
- 1:28:40Speaker 6: one short stint, but they have they're not good this year.
- 1:28:44Speaker 5: Twenty fourth, that's not good.
- 1:28:45Speaker 6: Toronto's been the better bullpen at eleventh, so I'll give
- 1:28:48Speaker 6: Toronto a bit of a bullpen edge here. San Francisco
- 1:28:52Speaker 6: has had the better offense at twelfth. Toronto is twenty seventh.
- 1:28:56Speaker 6: I still I keep saying it, but I still don't
- 1:28:58Speaker 6: think San Francisco is this good offensively. They got a
- 1:29:01Speaker 6: good matchup yesterday, and their numbers are being skewed by
- 1:29:04Speaker 6: some big offensive outputs in some of these stadiums that
- 1:29:07Speaker 6: are very hit or conducive. I still think their offense
- 1:29:10Speaker 6: is gonna drop back down having some of these home
- 1:29:13Speaker 6: games here. I don't know if it'll be today against
- 1:29:15Speaker 6: Toronto's bullpen game. Maybe it will be. San Francisco is
- 1:29:19Speaker 6: going with Trevor McDonald. He's fallen off recently. I'm pretty
- 1:29:22Speaker 6: sure he's got a four point four two ERA. His
- 1:29:25Speaker 6: whip is not that bad though one point two to three.
- 1:29:28Speaker 6: He's been worse at home, which makes no sense. Five
- 1:29:31Speaker 6: point eight to eight homey ray again. San Francisco is
- 1:29:34Speaker 6: a pitcher friendly park, but he did bitch well in
- 1:29:37Speaker 6: his last outing. It was on the road at Arizona.
- 1:29:39Speaker 6: He's six inning shutout, one hit them with no walks
- 1:29:42Speaker 6: in five strikeouts, So maybe McDonald is returning to form
- 1:29:46Speaker 6: a little bit here. McDonald was pretty good for San
- 1:29:48Speaker 6: Francisco last year, but he had a really really bad
- 1:29:51Speaker 6: month of June. So I don't know what to make
- 1:29:54Speaker 6: of that last start against Arizona, you know. I mean,
- 1:29:57Speaker 6: their offense isn't really that good, but neither is Toronto.
- 1:30:00Speaker 6: McDonald has a pretty low hit rate, his walk rate's
- 1:30:02Speaker 6: not too bad, and his strikeout rate is not really great,
- 1:30:06Speaker 6: but it's all right.
- 1:30:08Speaker 5: And Toronto's never seen him before, so McDonald probably.
- 1:30:11Speaker 6: Does have a little bit of an edge there and
- 1:30:13Speaker 6: that he's unfamiliar to Toronto. Do I want to back
- 1:30:17Speaker 6: San Francisco. No, the money is actually backing Toronto. Fifty
- 1:30:22Speaker 6: tickets ninety three percent of the cash on Toronto. Strong
- 1:30:25Speaker 6: market read there in Toronto's minus one fifteen or so,
- 1:30:28Speaker 6: even though we don't even know who's pitching for them,
- 1:30:30Speaker 6: and it's likely to be a bullpend game, and yet
- 1:30:32Speaker 6: Toronto's still favored. That's what the odds, the odds makers
- 1:30:35Speaker 6: think of San Francisco. Man, the odds makers are telling
- 1:30:38Speaker 6: you San Francisco is not good and their record is
- 1:30:42Speaker 6: also not good. But yeah, they're getting really disrespected in
- 1:30:45Speaker 6: the market. But the money is back in Toronto. Total
- 1:30:48Speaker 6: is low at seven and a half, So again the
- 1:30:50Speaker 6: odds makers expecting San Francisco is not gonna do much
- 1:30:54Speaker 6: offensive damage here. Money is back in the over though.
- 1:30:58Speaker 6: I still I don't know what to do at this game.
- 1:31:01Speaker 6: It's a difficult game to figure out. The money is
- 1:31:04Speaker 6: saying Toronto pretty strongly. I'm not gonna back at Toronto
- 1:31:08Speaker 6: bullpen game. I'm not gonna fade a pitchers maybe starting
- 1:31:11Speaker 6: to do better again, who's unfamiliar to the opposing offense.
- 1:31:14Speaker 5: I'm just not gonna do that.
- 1:31:15Speaker 6: Then we have Colorado and the Dodgers. This looks like
- 1:31:18Speaker 6: it should be a pretty big edge for the Dodgers.
- 1:31:20Speaker 6: Dodgers barely won yesterday. They had to win in the
- 1:31:24Speaker 6: eleventh inning yesterday. But I talk about this, it could
- 1:31:27Speaker 6: be like a zig zag type of thing where the
- 1:31:29Speaker 6: Dodgers kind of get scared back into focus, right, because
- 1:31:32Speaker 6: the Dodgers is the way better team should not have
- 1:31:35Speaker 6: almost lost to Colorado, So the fact that they did
- 1:31:37Speaker 6: might give them a scare and have them focus a
- 1:31:39Speaker 6: little bit more in this game. And it could be
- 1:31:41Speaker 6: a hangover for Colorado. Because Colorado almost pulled off the
- 1:31:45Speaker 6: upset against the Dodgers, maybe Colorado will be less good
- 1:31:49Speaker 6: in this game for that reason.
- 1:31:51Speaker 5: Colorado's been competitive against the.
- 1:31:53Speaker 6: Dodgers this year, though, man so there is that they've
- 1:31:56Speaker 6: played them pretty tough. Dodgers may just continuously overlook them, though,
- 1:32:00Speaker 6: and maybe in this game they won't because of what
- 1:32:02Speaker 6: happened yesterday. Dodgers use four lead pitchers in that game,
- 1:32:06Speaker 6: Colorado also did. Colorado obviously the lesser bullpen here. Dodgers
- 1:32:11Speaker 6: are ranked seventh. They're a decent bullpen. Rockies are not
- 1:32:15Speaker 6: a good bullpen. They're at twenty seventh. They got their
- 1:32:17Speaker 6: era back below five, though, but they're still not good.
- 1:32:22Speaker 6: Colorado is fourth in offense, although I expect maybe a
- 1:32:25Speaker 6: little bit less out of them on the road. The
- 1:32:27Speaker 6: Dodgers are number one. Of course, this looks like a
- 1:32:30Speaker 6: huge pitching mismatch, at least on the surface. Colorado going
- 1:32:34Speaker 6: with Michael Lorenzen.
- 1:32:35Speaker 5: He's bad.
- 1:32:36Speaker 6: Six point nine Winni ra one point eight to one
- 1:32:39Speaker 6: whip is very bad. He is better outside of course
- 1:32:42Speaker 6: field though, five point six' Eight Roady, ray which is
- 1:32:45Speaker 6: still not, good but at least it's better than what
- 1:32:47Speaker 6: he does at home wasn't good in his last start
- 1:32:50Speaker 6: at all at home he had six walks Against miami
- 1:32:53Speaker 6: at four and a. Third, yeah that's not Gonna that
- 1:32:56Speaker 6: is not going to get the job. Done he actually
- 1:32:59Speaker 6: wasn't that bad last, month though his era wasn't that.
- 1:33:02Speaker 5: Good he was too, hittable but he wasn't walking guys last.
- 1:33:05Speaker 6: Month his command was. Alright he is way too hittable
- 1:33:08Speaker 6: though that's just his main. Issue he doesn't really walk that.
- 1:33:11Speaker 5: Many, guys but he's really really, hittable which is a huge.
- 1:33:15Speaker 6: Problem his strike out rates not really that good. Either,
- 1:33:18Speaker 6: however believe it or, not he actually isn't that bad
- 1:33:20Speaker 6: against The dodgers in sixty six at, bats two seventy
- 1:33:24Speaker 6: three average at six sixty three ohps pretty.
- 1:33:27Speaker 5: Low they don't really hit him for, power ten.
- 1:33:29Speaker 6: Strikeouts four, Walks so maybe he does actually do okay
- 1:33:32Speaker 6: because he's got decent matchup, numbers and he's better on the.
- 1:33:35Speaker 5: Road at.
- 1:33:35Speaker 6: Least he's still the lesser pitcher here because The dodgers
- 1:33:39Speaker 6: are going With Justin. Robleski and even though the advanced
- 1:33:41Speaker 6: analytics guys do not like this, guy he's still pitching.
- 1:33:45Speaker 5: Well two point EIGHTY, ra one point zero ONE.
- 1:33:48Speaker 6: WHIP i, mean he's got good numbers THAT i can't
- 1:33:51Speaker 6: really argue with too, much even though he pitches to,
- 1:33:54Speaker 6: contact so the advanced analytics guys don't like.
- 1:33:56Speaker 5: That but he's been. Effective he's got a two point
- 1:34:00Speaker 5: five home E, ra which is obviously.
- 1:34:01Speaker 6: Good he had eleven strikeouts against The a's last time
- 1:34:05Speaker 6: out at The A's. Stadium he's had some pretty difficult opponents,
- 1:34:08Speaker 6: here mostly road games, recently and he's been pretty. Good
- 1:34:11Speaker 6: he's been good in all of those starts except the
- 1:34:13Speaker 6: one At. Pittsburgh so, yeah he's pitching well in some
- 1:34:17Speaker 6: pretty difficult. Environments SO i think he's kind of. Legit
- 1:34:21Speaker 6: he's got a low hit, rate he's got a low walk.
- 1:34:23Speaker 6: Rate his strikeout rates not, good so again that's why
- 1:34:25Speaker 6: the advanced analytics guys don't like, him because he doesn't
- 1:34:28Speaker 6: strike guys. Out but he's not allowing a lot of.
- 1:34:30Speaker 6: Hits his numbers Against colorado are. Good in thirty one
- 1:34:35Speaker 6: at bats one ninety four, average four point fifty two ohps,
- 1:34:38Speaker 6: five zero, strikeout walk raiser only two extra base hits
- 1:34:41Speaker 6: doubles From caros And.
- 1:34:43Speaker 5: Tovar by the, way Is caros Eric carros's?
- 1:34:48Speaker 6: SON i don't, know, Man Kyle, Carros, YEAH i Remember
- 1:34:53Speaker 6: Eric carros being in the league way back in the.
- 1:34:55Speaker 6: Day i'm old. Man maybe that's his. Son it might
- 1:34:59Speaker 6: be that probably make me feel a bit.
- 1:35:01Speaker 5: Old what do we do with this game While i'm
- 1:35:03Speaker 5: staying away from?
- 1:35:04Speaker 6: IT i, MEAN i lead to The dodgers BECAUSE i
- 1:35:07Speaker 6: still think they do have the pitching edge, year and
- 1:35:08Speaker 6: the money is kind of doing. That but eighty nine
- 1:35:11Speaker 6: percent of, tickets ninety three percent of the. Cash maybe
- 1:35:15Speaker 6: it means public and professionals all on The dodgers. Year
- 1:35:18Speaker 6: but their minus too. Eighty, dude you can't really lay
- 1:35:21Speaker 6: minus too. EIGHTY i, mean you could lay a run
- 1:35:23Speaker 6: line with The dodgers here and get them.
- 1:35:26Speaker 5: To win my margin. Here maybe they get it.
- 1:35:29Speaker 6: Done it is a high total at nine and a,
- 1:35:31Speaker 6: half BUT i actually like the first five under in
- 1:35:34Speaker 6: the game based on what we just saw with the pitching,
- 1:35:36Speaker 6: MATCHUP i think both pitchers might actually do well enough
- 1:35:39Speaker 6: for this for the first part of this game to go,
- 1:35:41Speaker 6: under and the money is on the under in the full,
- 1:35:44Speaker 6: game fifty four percent of, tickets sixty percent of the
- 1:35:46Speaker 6: cash on the. UNDER i would not Back colorado's bullpen,
- 1:35:49Speaker 6: though AND i don't THINK i want to back either
- 1:35:51Speaker 6: bullpen after they got overextended in the extra inning game.
- 1:35:54Speaker 6: Yesterday but a first five under makes. Sense the total
- 1:35:57Speaker 6: is nine and a, half so it is. HOT i
- 1:36:00Speaker 6: USUALLY i say it's high for a, reason BUT i
- 1:36:02Speaker 6: think maybe there's a little bit of value on the
- 1:36:04Speaker 6: first five, under which is probably gonna be about five
- 1:36:06Speaker 6: and a.
- 1:36:06Speaker 5: Half so do with that what you. Want that's the baseball.
- 1:36:11Speaker 6: Rundown all, right a long video, Here let's try to
- 1:36:17Speaker 6: get this done in less than another half. Hour, man
- 1:36:19Speaker 6: we only have TWO wnba. Games i'm gonna give you
- 1:36:22Speaker 6: a play on THE espn game right.
- 1:36:24Speaker 5: Now, WHOOPS.
- 1:36:36Speaker 6: Wnba we have to get back on, track. Dude we
- 1:36:38Speaker 6: started out five and oh and now we're six and
- 1:36:41Speaker 6: seven and.
- 1:36:42Speaker 5: Numerous of these losses.
- 1:36:43Speaker 6: Of them and, Bullshit i'm gonna give Out dallas plus
- 1:36:46Speaker 6: five Against New. York we, gotta, dude we're gonna have
- 1:36:49Speaker 6: to jump in and Fade New.
- 1:36:51Speaker 5: York.
- 1:36:51Speaker 6: MAN i like The Western conference more than The Eastern,
- 1:36:54Speaker 6: conference BUT i know The liberty have been playing well
- 1:36:57Speaker 6: against The Western conference. Recently but remember WHAT i talked
- 1:36:59Speaker 6: about WHEN i gave up that loser in The cup
- 1:37:02Speaker 6: game Against. Vegas vegas was Without Asia, wilson, though and
- 1:37:05Speaker 6: they still maybe should have, covered and they made a huge.
- 1:37:08Speaker 6: Comeback vegas actually had the lead late in that, game
- 1:37:11Speaker 6: SO i think they probably should have. Covered but WHAT
- 1:37:15Speaker 6: i talked about going into that game is The liberty
- 1:37:17Speaker 6: have been bad against The West. Conference, dude there's still
- 1:37:21Speaker 6: even after two wins Against western Teams vegas And, minnesota
- 1:37:24Speaker 6: those are their two last, games huge, wins by the,
- 1:37:27Speaker 6: way even with those two, Wins i'm pretty sure The
- 1:37:30Speaker 6: liberty are six and seven against The, west which is
- 1:37:33Speaker 6: still not, good and they haven't been particularly good at.
- 1:37:36Speaker 6: Home they're a little bit better, now but they're seven
- 1:37:39Speaker 6: and four at, home which isn't really that. Good And
- 1:37:40Speaker 6: dallas has been decent on the road seven and. Five
- 1:37:44Speaker 6: so you, KNOW i think for those, reasons like just
- 1:37:47Speaker 6: based on you, know the conference splits and, WHATEVER i
- 1:37:50Speaker 6: think we could start looking Towards dallas for those. Reasons
- 1:37:53Speaker 6: dallas plays and WHAT i think is the more difficult,
- 1:37:55Speaker 6: conference which is The. West, now WHAT i did want
- 1:37:58Speaker 6: to look at is what Is dallas record against The.
- 1:38:00Speaker 5: EAST i guess this is my other. Question.
- 1:38:05Speaker 6: Dallas let's see here The sea right here means The
- 1:38:09Speaker 6: liberty won The Commissioner's. CUP i was, like, wait they.
- 1:38:11Speaker 5: Already clinched The. East that's.
- 1:38:13Speaker 6: Ridiculous, yeah, no they have not done that. Yet Now.
- 1:38:17Speaker 6: Dallas let's, See dallas in conference is six and six
- 1:38:21Speaker 6: in The. West so that means that they're seven and
- 1:38:24Speaker 6: two against The. East, Right DID i do that?
- 1:38:26Speaker 5: Math? Right?
- 1:38:28Speaker 6: Yeah So dallas is really good against The. East seven and.
- 1:38:30Speaker 6: Two so, AGAIN i think we're getting the better conference matchup.
- 1:38:33Speaker 6: HERE i know The liberty just beat Two west, teams
- 1:38:36Speaker 6: BUT i think that's gonna put them in a letdown.
- 1:38:38Speaker 5: Spot.
- 1:38:39Speaker 6: Dude they won The Commissioner's, cup huge win Against, vegas
- 1:38:42Speaker 6: but it was Without Asia. Wilson and then they Beat
- 1:38:45Speaker 6: minnesota On, friday huge win against the best team in the.
- 1:38:48Speaker 6: League even though that was without call, here she's still not.
- 1:38:51Speaker 6: Back that's a huge win for The. Liberty now they're
- 1:38:54Speaker 6: staying at.
- 1:38:54Speaker 5: Home off of.
- 1:38:55Speaker 6: THAT i know this is AN espn, game but you
- 1:38:58Speaker 6: gotta think this is a let down off of.
- 1:38:59Speaker 5: That who do they play? Next ON?
- 1:39:01Speaker 6: Abc On, saturday they Played minnesota Against they're in A minnesota.
- 1:39:06Speaker 6: Sandwich they're in a juicy, lucy which sounds even more
- 1:39:09Speaker 6: ridiculous in a women's. Sport but, YEAH i do not
- 1:39:13Speaker 6: like the spot for The. Liberty even Though dallas is
- 1:39:15Speaker 6: a good. Team you're if you're having that game sandwiched
- 1:39:19Speaker 6: in between A Commissioner's cup win against the returning champs
- 1:39:22Speaker 6: and one of the best teams Still vegas and Then
- 1:39:25Speaker 6: minnesota after, that the best team in the. League, yeah
- 1:39:29Speaker 6: and With minnesota again, next you might not pay as
- 1:39:32Speaker 6: much attention To. Dallas, Now dallas did come Into New
- 1:39:35Speaker 6: york and beat them by fifteen back In, may but
- 1:39:38Speaker 6: it wasn't, recent So i'm gonna put less weight into.
- 1:39:41Speaker 6: That and if you look into that, game there are
- 1:39:43Speaker 6: some concerns Where dallas really really had a three point
- 1:39:46Speaker 6: advantage in that game and that that could definitely. REGRESS i,
- 1:39:49Speaker 6: KNOW i like to zigzag against teams that had a
- 1:39:53Speaker 6: big three point edge in the previous matchup And dallas. Did, technically,
- 1:39:57Speaker 6: yes it could regress here In New york could potentially
- 1:40:01Speaker 6: still get up for that because they did lose To
- 1:40:03Speaker 6: dallas here at. Home BUT i think just the games
- 1:40:05Speaker 6: surrounding this, game to, me this makes it look like
- 1:40:08Speaker 6: they're not gonna pay as much attention To dallas. HERE
- 1:40:11Speaker 6: i think the spot sets up better For, dallas even
- 1:40:13Speaker 6: though they're less. Rested dallas is already in The. East
- 1:40:17Speaker 6: they just Played. Toronto that was an easy win for.
- 1:40:19Speaker 6: Them they Beat connecticut, barely and then they were able
- 1:40:22Speaker 6: to play better Against toronto last time.
- 1:40:24Speaker 5: Out not big. Games this is a big game for
- 1:40:27Speaker 5: them Against New.
- 1:40:28Speaker 6: York this is the biggest game For dallas since The
- 1:40:31Speaker 6: Commissioner's cup. Break so they just had a couple of
- 1:40:33Speaker 6: easy wins Against connecticut And. TORONTO i think they're going
- 1:40:36Speaker 6: to have their sites set on The liberty. Here it's
- 1:40:39Speaker 6: a bad spot for The. Liberty the money agrees with
- 1:40:42Speaker 6: me on this. One sixty percent of the tickets on The,
- 1:40:44Speaker 6: liberty fifty five percent of the cash On. Dallas it
- 1:40:47Speaker 6: looks like you have to get four and a half
- 1:40:48Speaker 6: or four, now SO i apologize for. That it was
- 1:40:51Speaker 6: five WHEN i looked this, morning there were fives still.
- 1:40:54Speaker 6: Around i'd still take it at four and a half
- 1:40:56Speaker 6: or four, though just you know you're not to get
- 1:41:00Speaker 6: quite the best number. There BUT i still think it's
- 1:41:02Speaker 6: probably worth it grabbing them as a dog for what it's.
- 1:41:05Speaker 6: WORTH i think they were a five point underdog the
- 1:41:07Speaker 6: last time they were In New, york so the number
- 1:41:09Speaker 6: hasn't really changed that. Much AND i Think, dallas like
- 1:41:14Speaker 6: we know That dallas is better than what we thought
- 1:41:16Speaker 6: they were back then, too, probably so we're gonna Take
- 1:41:19Speaker 6: dallas plus the five, there even THOUGH i Know dallas
- 1:41:22Speaker 6: is not a good defensive. TEAM i do understand, that but,
- 1:41:26Speaker 6: yeah we're gonna go with it. Anyway the other game
- 1:41:28Speaker 6: Is chicago And. Phoenix NOW i Think chicago is probably
- 1:41:31Speaker 6: in a bad spot because they just were In Las
- 1:41:34Speaker 6: vegas in that other Arena vegas was, playing and that
- 1:41:38Speaker 6: was a loss or not a loss for. Us that
- 1:41:39Speaker 6: was no play for us on the, show just BECAUSE
- 1:41:42Speaker 6: i basically said to wait and then the number wasn't
- 1:41:45Speaker 6: good enough, anymore and it would have been a win
- 1:41:47Speaker 6: at the number THAT i gave it out at early
- 1:41:49Speaker 6: in the.
- 1:41:49Speaker 5: Day But chicago should have. Covered, man they went to.
- 1:41:53Speaker 6: Overtime they Took vegas The Returney champs to, overtime and in,
- 1:41:57Speaker 6: Fact chicago's last two games we're both pretty good. Performances
- 1:42:01Speaker 6: the first one was a loss on the, show Which
- 1:42:04Speaker 6: chicago could have covered and should have covered that game,
- 1:42:07Speaker 6: too So i'm really pissed off about. That chicago should
- 1:42:10Speaker 6: have covered both. Games they fell flat or fell short
- 1:42:13Speaker 6: in both. GAMES i think they might fall flat, here,
- 1:42:16Speaker 6: man after those two huge games Against, vegas coming off
- 1:42:19Speaker 6: Taking vegas into, overtime and now you Play, phoenix who
- 1:42:22Speaker 6: hasn't really been playing that. Well they did lose To
- 1:42:25Speaker 6: phoenix early in the season here in this arena Of
- 1:42:28Speaker 6: phoenix won by, eight But i'm not gonna put that
- 1:42:31Speaker 6: much weight into. That phoenix is playing some better basketball
- 1:42:35Speaker 6: again right. Now AND i told You phoenix was not
- 1:42:36Speaker 6: as bad as their record. Looked they've won three in a,
- 1:42:39Speaker 6: row although they only won one out of The commissioner's.
- 1:42:42Speaker 6: Break now they do Have indiana, next but they're coming
- 1:42:46Speaker 6: up a blowout Of, seattle and that is really the
- 1:42:48Speaker 6: one maybe concern THAT i have is they just Beat
- 1:42:51Speaker 6: seattle by twenty, three so maybe they're feeling a little
- 1:42:54Speaker 6: bit good about, themselves and they do Have, Indiana, Vegas
- 1:42:57Speaker 6: minnesota all up, next SO i, guess, yeah maybe that is.
- 1:43:00Speaker 5: Concerned there's a.
- 1:43:00Speaker 6: Little bit of a look ahead, here So i'm not
- 1:43:02Speaker 6: gonna give this one out as a, play BUT i
- 1:43:04Speaker 6: still would Leave phoenix.
- 1:43:05Speaker 5: Here they're the better.
- 1:43:06Speaker 6: Team chicago could be in a pretty bad spot after
- 1:43:09Speaker 6: those Huge vegas, performances SO i would lay the points With.
- 1:43:12Speaker 6: Phoenix it's at three and a half, here sixty nine
- 1:43:16Speaker 6: percent of tickets eighty seven percent of the cash On.
- 1:43:18Speaker 6: Phoenix But i'm going With dallas and WHAT i think
- 1:43:20Speaker 6: is a pretty mega sandwich spot For New. York that
- 1:43:23Speaker 6: would be MY wnba playing AND i am gonna give
- 1:43:27Speaker 6: out A World cup play in the first, game which
- 1:43:29Speaker 6: Is argentina In egypt In. Atlanta argentina is coming in From,
- 1:43:34Speaker 6: miami so it's not a bad travel. Spot both games
- 1:43:37Speaker 6: are in the afternoon, today by the, way so be.
- 1:43:39Speaker 6: Aware this game's coming up in an hour at, noon
- 1:43:42Speaker 6: so we're gonna get it off right. Away argentina clearly
- 1:43:45Speaker 6: the better team Over. Egypt argentina is minus three to
- 1:43:49Speaker 6: ten on the three way. Line, NOW i don't know
- 1:43:52Speaker 6: if you you know you understand the way THAT i
- 1:43:55Speaker 6: handicap if you know What i'm gonna do in this.
- 1:43:56Speaker 5: GAME i actually think that number is.
- 1:43:58Speaker 6: Low LIKE i saw this number at like two eighties
- 1:44:01Speaker 6: to eighty something On, argentina And i'm, like, really, LIKE
- 1:44:04Speaker 6: i Think argentina is the way better team Over egypt.
- 1:44:08Speaker 6: Here SO i actually think there's a little bit of
- 1:44:09Speaker 6: value With argentina, here AND i think it's because of
- 1:44:13Speaker 6: what they did in their last, game Which i'll talk
- 1:44:15Speaker 6: about in a. Minute, egypt by the, WAY i think
- 1:44:16Speaker 6: it's coming into this game From Kansas, City No, Arlington, texas,
- 1:44:21Speaker 6: sorry so they are traveling a little bit more for This.
- 1:44:24Speaker 5: Argentina, now they went into extra.
- 1:44:26Speaker 6: Time but the reason WHY i Like argentina is they
- 1:44:29Speaker 6: went into extra time against Cape. Verde, dude and everybody
- 1:44:32Speaker 6: is Giving argentina, shit, like, Oh, argentina they're totally vulnerable,
- 1:44:36Speaker 6: here like they almost lost To Cape. Verde did they really?
- 1:44:40Speaker 6: Though did they? REALLY i know they won on an
- 1:44:43Speaker 6: own goal in extra, time and everybody's, like, oh you, Know,
- 1:44:47Speaker 6: argentina they like they deserve to lose this.
- 1:44:49Speaker 5: Game no they.
- 1:44:51Speaker 6: Didn't if you look at what happened in this game Cape,
- 1:44:54Speaker 6: verde they did not put up much offense in this
- 1:44:57Speaker 6: game at.
- 1:44:57Speaker 5: All this should have been an easier.
- 1:44:58Speaker 6: Win look at the stat, Dude argentina expected goals two
- 1:45:02Speaker 6: point twenty six two point four to, Seven so basically
- 1:45:05Speaker 6: this tells you this was a two Nothing argentina. Win in,
- 1:45:08Speaker 6: reality they won the possession battle pretty. Significantly they had
- 1:45:12Speaker 6: way more shots on. Goal Cape verde had zero big,
- 1:45:15Speaker 6: chances whatever that even. Means but that still somehow they scored.
- 1:45:19Speaker 6: Two where AGAIN i told, you based on the way
- 1:45:22Speaker 6: the game played, out they actually.
- 1:45:23Speaker 5: Should have scored. Zero so this game was not what
- 1:45:26Speaker 5: it looked.
- 1:45:27Speaker 6: Like AND i Know argentina had to go into extra,
- 1:45:29Speaker 6: time so, yeah maybe they'll tire them. Out BUT i
- 1:45:33Speaker 6: look at it more Like argentina looked worse than they actually.
- 1:45:35Speaker 5: Are it was a misleading. Result they took a huge
- 1:45:38Speaker 5: scare and.
- 1:45:39Speaker 6: They're not gonna Overlook egypt now Because argentina took a
- 1:45:42Speaker 6: big scare Against Cape. Verde egypt is better Than Cape.
- 1:45:45Speaker 6: Verde argentina's not gonna Overlook egypt And egypt you want
- 1:45:50Speaker 6: to talk about exerting. Yourself they had to go to,
- 1:45:53Speaker 6: penalties so they went into extra time and they had
- 1:45:55Speaker 6: to play penalty into penalty kicks to Beat, australia AND
- 1:45:59Speaker 6: i think that's pretty For egypt to have to do,
- 1:46:02Speaker 6: that Because australia.
- 1:46:03Speaker 5: Sucks.
- 1:46:03Speaker 6: Dude you, Know, egypt they have not faced a Difficult
- 1:46:08Speaker 6: World cup. Pier, okay like they had a draw With,
- 1:46:11Speaker 6: belgium WHICH i know that looks, good especially After belgium
- 1:46:14Speaker 6: crushed THE us, yesterday WHICH i WISH i gave that
- 1:46:16Speaker 6: out as a Play. BELGIUM i, MEAN i Think belgium
- 1:46:19Speaker 6: just Overlooked egypt in the first game, whatever and then
- 1:46:23Speaker 6: All egypt did since then is Beat New, zealand Draw
- 1:46:26Speaker 6: iran and almost lose To. Australia none of those teams are.
- 1:46:30Speaker 6: Good that's not. Good egypt is not.
- 1:46:32Speaker 5: Good you.
- 1:46:33Speaker 6: Know penalty kicks is a really dramatic thing to have to.
- 1:46:36Speaker 6: DO i Think argentina is gonna refocus because they got
- 1:46:39Speaker 6: scared by a very inferior.
- 1:46:40Speaker 5: Opponent and that was. Misleading LIKE i, Said.
- 1:46:43Speaker 6: Argentina statistically won that game way more Easily egypt by the.
- 1:46:48Speaker 6: Way they did Give australia an own goal in this,
- 1:46:52Speaker 6: game So egypt should have won probably in, REGULATION i.
- 1:46:55Speaker 6: Guess but if you look at the stats in this.
- 1:46:56Speaker 6: Game they didn't win the game by that. Much they
- 1:46:59Speaker 6: did win the boz, battle they wont expected goals one
- 1:47:01Speaker 6: point three to two to point eight, Four but this
- 1:47:04Speaker 6: basically tells you it was a one to one game
- 1:47:07Speaker 6: and neither team had much offense at all in this.
- 1:47:09Speaker 6: Game SO i don't, know, man If egypt is not
- 1:47:12Speaker 6: able to put up a bunch of offense Against, Australia,
- 1:47:15Speaker 6: like how much offense do you really expect out of
- 1:47:17Speaker 6: them in a game Against, argentina who's way way. Better,
- 1:47:22Speaker 6: uh this is the best, bet by the, way and
- 1:47:23Speaker 6: you can probably guess what it. IS i think we're
- 1:47:25Speaker 6: getting a good number on, this to be. Honest we're
- 1:47:28Speaker 6: gonna take the spread With argentina minus one and a
- 1:47:30Speaker 6: half AND i found this at minus one zero, Three so,
- 1:47:33Speaker 6: yes we need them to win by. Two BUT i
- 1:47:36Speaker 6: mean this seems like a really good price to. Me,
- 1:47:38Speaker 6: LIKE i think this is a pretty decent sized mismatch.
- 1:47:41Speaker 6: Here ARGENTINA i think is in a much more focused spot,
- 1:47:44Speaker 6: here better travel spot as.
- 1:47:46Speaker 5: WELL i think they're being overlooked because of that last.
- 1:47:48Speaker 6: Game Oh argentina sucks, Now, Yeah, No they're not gonna
- 1:47:53Speaker 6: have a difficult.
- 1:47:54Speaker 5: Time with The.
- 1:47:54Speaker 6: EGYPT i think they're gonna get this thing. DONE i
- 1:47:56Speaker 6: think they should win this game by multiple. Goals let's get, it.
- 1:47:59Speaker 6: Man AND i think this is the right way to
- 1:48:02Speaker 6: play this. AGAIN i thought that the three way line
- 1:48:05Speaker 6: and the spread actually were cheaper THAN i expected them
- 1:48:07Speaker 6: to be, here SO i think there might be a
- 1:48:10Speaker 6: little bit of. VALUE i, Mean argentina is still one
- 1:48:12Speaker 6: of the top, teams, MAN i mean they have some
- 1:48:14Speaker 6: of the best odds to, win although some of that
- 1:48:16Speaker 6: is because their path is, easy but this is part
- 1:48:18Speaker 6: of that easy. Path egypt is not a very formidable.
- 1:48:21Speaker 6: Opponent so we're going With, SORRY i gotta refresh, this
- 1:48:26Speaker 6: but we're gonna go with The argentina. There, NOW i
- 1:48:29Speaker 6: couldn't really read the market as far as action. Network
- 1:48:32Speaker 6: argentina is getting a lot of public, action which doesn't
- 1:48:35Speaker 6: really surprise, me and they're supposed to, win but we're
- 1:48:38Speaker 6: finding a different way to play. That and Then switzerland
- 1:48:40Speaker 6: And columbia is a much more competitive matchup In. Vancouver
- 1:48:44Speaker 6: it's Interesting colombia is the better team there at plus
- 1:48:47Speaker 6: one twenty. Five if you saw my bracket, SPECIAL i
- 1:48:50Speaker 6: Have argentina And colombia advancing in these two, games by the,
- 1:48:54Speaker 6: way AND i got all these matchups correct. Too so
- 1:48:58Speaker 6: the only team that's made it to The final eight
- 1:49:00Speaker 6: THAT i do not have rights so.
- 1:49:01Speaker 5: Far in my bracket Was. MOROCCO i had.
- 1:49:03Speaker 6: The netherlands, there BUT i have all the other teams
- 1:49:05Speaker 6: that have made it to this point correct so, Far,
- 1:49:08Speaker 6: yes Including belgium And. Norway so, yeah this, game, YES
- 1:49:14Speaker 6: i Have columbia. Winning they're the better, team but it's, close,
- 1:49:17Speaker 6: dude plus one twenty five on the three. WAY i
- 1:49:20Speaker 6: THINK i am gonna lean To columbia, here BUT i think.
- 1:49:22Speaker 5: It's a close, call. Dude, Switzerland switzerland really just has.
- 1:49:26Speaker 6: Not been battle. Tested they drew With, cutter which is not.
- 1:49:30Speaker 6: Good they Beat bosnia not, impressive ALTHOUGH i gave Out
- 1:49:33Speaker 6: switzerland in that game if you, remember Because bosnia was
- 1:49:36Speaker 6: coming off some overperformance And switzerland.
- 1:49:38Speaker 5: Had underperformed majorly Against.
- 1:49:41Speaker 6: Cutter SO i was, like, Yes switzerland's gonna come out
- 1:49:43Speaker 6: with force here and just easily beat this Inferior bosnia.
- 1:49:46Speaker 6: Team that was a win on the. Show that was
- 1:49:48Speaker 6: one of the Biggest oh, SORRY i forgot to put
- 1:49:50Speaker 6: my record.
- 1:49:51Speaker 5: UP i.
- 1:49:51Speaker 6: Apologize, YEAH i think this is the most recent one
- 1:49:54Speaker 6: with the one oh. YESTERDAY i keep forgetting to do
- 1:49:56Speaker 6: that one at eighty nine and ten last.
- 1:49:59Speaker 5: Night three.
- 1:50:00Speaker 6: Days still pretty good percentage, there and almost all these
- 1:50:04Speaker 6: players are at a minus one forty money line or
- 1:50:06Speaker 6: cheat or, less you, know Like i'm not playing huge.
- 1:50:09Speaker 6: Favors except they did give Out switzerland minus one eighty
- 1:50:12Speaker 6: in this. GAME i just thought that was the right
- 1:50:14Speaker 6: way to play. That, anyway what Did switzerland do after?
- 1:50:17Speaker 6: That they Beat, canada not impressive, really and then they
- 1:50:20Speaker 6: Beat algeria to advance in the knockout.
- 1:50:23Speaker 5: Round still not really that.
- 1:50:25Speaker 6: Impressive columbia is going to be the best team they've
- 1:50:27Speaker 6: faced so, far so it's not gonna be. Easy colombia
- 1:50:30Speaker 6: is more battle tested basically just because they Played. Portugal
- 1:50:34Speaker 6: that was their big. Game they had a draw Against.
- 1:50:36Speaker 6: Portugal they did play well Against. Portugal other than, that,
- 1:50:40Speaker 6: YEAH i mean they beat it Was, bekistan they Beat Dr,
- 1:50:44Speaker 6: congo which other teams were unable to, do and then
- 1:50:48Speaker 6: they Beat ghana to win their their game. Here that
- 1:50:51Speaker 6: was In Kansas, city by the, Way so speaking of
- 1:50:54Speaker 6: the travel, here the travel does actually Benefit. Switzerland switzerland
- 1:50:58Speaker 6: is staying In vancouver for This switzerland last played In.
- 1:51:01Speaker 6: Vancouver columbia's having to come in From Kansas, city so
- 1:51:04Speaker 6: the travel spot is worse For, columbia but their first
- 1:51:08Speaker 6: game was more. IMPRESSIVE i know we won With ghana
- 1:51:10Speaker 6: plus the one a half goals in this, game BUT
- 1:51:12Speaker 6: i THINK i got lucky on that. One, DUDE i
- 1:51:14Speaker 6: don't THINK i should have made that. PLAY i thought
- 1:51:17Speaker 6: it was gonna be a low scoring, Game like you,
- 1:51:19Speaker 6: KNOW i went into just the fact That ghana hadn't
- 1:51:22Speaker 6: allowed a lot of goals throughout The World, Cup columbia
- 1:51:24Speaker 6: hadn't scored a. Lot and, yeah we got the win
- 1:51:28Speaker 6: With ghana plus one and a, half But columbia should
- 1:51:30Speaker 6: have won the game two to nothing like this was
- 1:51:32Speaker 6: kind of a misleading. Final columbia won the. Game ghana
- 1:51:36Speaker 6: put up no offense in this. Game switzerland is gonna
- 1:51:39Speaker 6: be better Than, Ghana there's no question about. That But
- 1:51:41Speaker 6: colombia was pretty good in this game two to basically
- 1:51:45Speaker 6: zero expected.
- 1:51:46Speaker 5: Goals won the possession.
- 1:51:47Speaker 6: Battle ghana had no shots on, goal so they basically
- 1:51:51Speaker 6: didn't even have a chance to. Score colombia put eight
- 1:51:54Speaker 6: shots on, goals So ghana definitely saved us with their. Goaltending.
- 1:51:58Speaker 6: There we got a little bit lucky. There colombia was.
- 1:52:01Speaker 6: Good they were better than they looked in that. GAME
- 1:52:03Speaker 6: i Think colombia has been a little bit more, impressive
- 1:52:05Speaker 6: even though they're at a travel. DISADVANTAGE i believe the
- 1:52:08Speaker 6: cash percentages back In. Colombia WHEN i looked on action
- 1:52:11Speaker 6: networking to See switzerland is getting a little bit more public.
- 1:52:14Speaker 6: Activity colombia maybe a little bit more under the. RADAR
- 1:52:17Speaker 6: i Got columbia winning this one in my. Bracket i'll
- 1:52:21Speaker 6: Link columbia in that. One BUT i like The argentina
- 1:52:24Speaker 6: look better, there AND i think that's, it, man that's
- 1:52:28Speaker 6: gonna do it my place. Today or The Chicago cubs
- 1:52:30Speaker 6: on the money, Line Cleveland indians on the money, line
- 1:52:33Speaker 6: WHICH i added last, minute BUT i don't even love
- 1:52:35Speaker 6: That cubs. PLAY i don't know those are both starting pitching.
- 1:52:38Speaker 6: Matchup cleveland is more of a it's a situational play.
- 1:52:41Speaker 2: Too.
- 1:52:41Speaker 6: Though we're On dallas plus five the. Wings hopefully we
- 1:52:45Speaker 6: can fly to a win. There we have to GET
- 1:52:47Speaker 6: wnba back on, track. Dude so that's the W nba
- 1:52:51Speaker 6: Played dallas plus the points and Then World cup's gone
- 1:52:54Speaker 6: well for me, surprisingly so we're gonna lay the one
- 1:52:57Speaker 6: and a half With, argentina and WHAT i think is
- 1:52:59Speaker 6: a good to do? That that's gonna do it? HERE
- 1:53:03Speaker 6: i Know egypt is not?
- 1:53:04Speaker 5: Good, yes? Saa what's? Up Man? Sala Mohammed, sala Not Robert,
- 1:53:09Speaker 5: sala the former or not? Former he will Former jets? Coach?

- 1:53:30Speaker 6: much about the The English Premier.
- 1:53:32Speaker 5: League, man you know more THAN i. Do you Like
- 1:53:35Speaker 5: messi two plus? GOALS i.
- 1:53:36Speaker 6: DON'T i would not do that a specific player to
- 1:53:41Speaker 6: score two?
- 1:53:42Speaker 5: Goals are you kidding?
- 1:53:43Speaker 6: Me? No you know WHAT i don't like the the
- 1:53:46Speaker 6: individual player to score a goal prop is always you're
- 1:53:49Speaker 6: never getting a good price on, It and on a
- 1:53:51Speaker 6: star player Like messi who's had a Good World, cup
- 1:53:54Speaker 6: you're not getting any value on.
- 1:53:56Speaker 5: THAT i don't like.
- 1:53:57Speaker 6: That. OBVIOUSLY i Like argentina AND i would not disagree
- 1:54:00Speaker 6: with you On argentina going over their team. TOTAL i
- 1:54:05Speaker 6: would probably agree with, that which is probably a two
- 1:54:08Speaker 6: and a, half BUT i like the spread at minus
- 1:54:10Speaker 6: one and a.
- 1:54:11Speaker 5: Half that's what we're doing and that's. It it's gonna do.
