  Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff. What is going on,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Shipman Nation YouTube station? Back in the saddle with my guy, G. Rison.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Love doing shows with G.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Rison.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: He just tells it how it is, right? He just
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: talks out of his ass, talks out both sides of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: his mouth, has some laughs, has a good time, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: he knows baseball as well. So looking forward to breaking
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: down this 12-game monster slate on DraftKings. We got... One
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: clear-cut pitcher option for sure. A couple other guys as well.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: We do have a top-tier loaded slate in terms of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: pitching arms. There's some question marks with some of the guys.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't be shocked if any of them have ceiling performances either.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And then we got some cheaper guys as well that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: look pretty good for their matchups. Massive contest tonight on DraftKings,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the main event warm-up, 333, 200K up top. Hopefully we
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: see a Ship It Nation logo next to that. $ 200, 000 prize. G. Rosman.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Missed you in Vegas, brother, but I'll bring you in.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: What's going on, man? Happy Tuesday.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds like I missed a hell of a time
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: from what you were saying before we hopped on. But hey,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you all got to go out there and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: have a good time. and be with the fellas. I mean, hey,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: wasn't the original plan supposed to come back to Michigan
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and do the live fucking championship thing? And that, you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: obviously went to crap. The live tour just basically just,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you know, went to shit real quick. But, I mean,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that was a good time when you all came here
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: too and got to hang out at the casinos and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: bars and all that fun. It's always fun to hang
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: around the fellas. So, yeah, I do. I'm a little bummed. But, man,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I got so much shit going on, Nades. I told
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you previously I'm going to Noelsman's house this weekend here.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: First weekend of college football. He's having a big party
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: at his house. Florida State's playing at like 730, playing
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: some cupcakes. And then basically the weekend after that is
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: obviously Labor Day, and I'll be out at my campground
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: for about four or five days drowning my liver and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: playing cornhole. And then the weekend after that, I got
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: a golf trip up north in Michigan. And then after that,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you know, basically it's football time, Nades. It's like, you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: we're here at football time. We got college football on Saturdays,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and we got some pro on Sundays. And then, of course,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: you know, you get the fun on Monday night. when
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you get home from work. So we're coming in a
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: great time of year, man. I mean, baseball is kind
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: of winding down, you know, which, hey, I love me
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: some baseball. But, dude, the fall is awesome. Like when
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you can put on some shorts and a sweatshirt and,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you know, be comfortable, that to me is the best weather.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Leaves are changing, going to change here soon. So, man, Nades,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, we got it going on. We got it good.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: But yeah, exciting to get down here to the nitty gritty.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I might have to find me a new team here
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to adopt for the playoffs this year because my Tigers
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: sure the hell aren't getting there. I mean, I got
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: your brew crew because, you know, I want you all
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to beat the Dodgers because I do not want Scooble
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to win just because he's being such a little bitch
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: before he left. But either way, I'm going to have
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to find me a new squad. The Brewers are on
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: my list. They're on my short list here. I'm going
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to have to see how it's playing out. But the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: American League is so damn weak, like Matt and I
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: were talking. Like, it's weak. Like, I've not seen such
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: an American League so weak. I don't even know who
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the hell could come out of it. I mean, Tampa
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: looks like the best bet. But yeah, good times. Good
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: times coming around. Excited to talk about this. What do
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: we got? 12 whopping big games here tonight, which we
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: usually have big slates. Usually Tuesday, Fridays are the good
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: money slates. out there in DFS land. But yeah, I mean,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: we got an interesting slate. Like we were saying, Nate,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: we got some guys, some pitchers that you can kind
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of poke holes in, but then we got a team
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: today who strikes out the most against right-handing pitcher against
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Gavin Williams, who like you said, K props like fricking
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: eight and a half with juice on the over. That's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: like fucking insane. And then you got Libitor going against
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the Orioles, who also strike out the most against left-handed pitching.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: So it's like, man, seems pretty easy to me. But
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: maybe there's some other guys we can talk about and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: maybe see about throwing them into our pool here. But
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: interesting slate, Nades. That's for damn sure.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, should be a fun one here. Say hi to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a couple of people in chat. Philly Phantom, Michael W.,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Warren Tyler, Matty Ice, our guy Nguyen's in here, Speedy Slug.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone tuning in. Our guy wins a lot. Saw
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: him down in Vegas. It was nice to see him
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: at D-Gen 75's event Friday night. I know I was
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: late showing up to that. Thanks to Delta out of Detroit.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Fuck that city. But yeah, we're back. We made it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I made it to Vegas nine hours late. But don't worry.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Taito and I made up for it. Like I said
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: yesterday on the show, Taito went to bed when people
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: were coming out of the elevator and Ham was texting them.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to go play dice. And we were just laying our
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: head down on the pillow. So it was definitely a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: fun night, fun weekend, but it'll be more fun if
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: we find 200 stacks here tonight in our contest. You
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: alluded to it. Gavin Williams is the clear cut SP
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: one on the slate, hard to argue outside of ownership.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: His ownership is going to be high, but it's not
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: going to be like, he's going to be 80% owned.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, the dude's going to be probably 40% in MME,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: 60% to 70% in single entry, small field stuff, and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I just don't see how you get away from it,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to be honest. He's been almost a 42% strikeout rate
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: guy in the last eight starts or 10 starts, something
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: like that. He's a 30-plus percent strikeout guy on the season,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: gets the best strikeout matchup in baseball against the Angels.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: The only downside you can pull is it is a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: decent hitter's park and decent weather. But you've got to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: make contact with the baseball for it to matter. So
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Gavin Williams looks like the clear-cut SP1. No shocker there.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: At 10-5, you do have to pay for it. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you have guys like Kyle Harrison, Jacob DeGrom, Paul Skeens
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: at $ 1, 500 to $ 1, 000 cheaper, right? So Gavin Williams is
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: going to have to post a score that is high enough, right, points-per-dollar-wise,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to outmatch some of those guys. I don't foresee him
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: not doing that. But in terms of pitching, take it
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: 8K all the way up to Gavin Williams. Talk about
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Tyler Glass now coming back from the IL, making his
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: first start. He went 77 pitches in his rehab start.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You have to assume Dodgers are going to be super
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: careful with him. Kyle Harrison either strikes out 75 guys
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: or gets pulled after 60 pitches with no strikeouts. He's 9,500,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gets a really good pitcher's ballpark and matchup for strikeouts there.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Jacob DeGrom coming off a massive game after he got
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: pulled in the second inning for arm fatigue. We just
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: saw Kumar Rocker mow the same team down last night.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And then Paul Skeens, his velocity has been dropping. Maybe
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Landon's probably throwing harder than them right now up there
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in Detroit. Hoops boy. So I don't know what's going
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: on with Paul Skeens. And then any of these other guys,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: these fringe guys down in the 8K range, Urena, Bradley, Kirby, King,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: what are you doing in this top tier?
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty simple. Gavin Williams' matchup is just
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: elite against the Angels, who we've been picking out all
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: damn year. And then we say, oh, you know, we
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: always like a good strikeout righty against the Angels. Well,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, we got pretty much the pimp of strikeouts
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: so far this year up to this point. I mean,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and you know I've been talking about looking at their
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: latest numbers here in the last like 30 days as
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: we get later in the season. And Gavin Williams' strikeouts
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: have picked up. He's at almost 41.5% to the left side.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: He's at 37.5%. to the right side so far, you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: in the last 30 days, he's looked really good. He
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: has been giving up a little bit of power though. Um,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: but I'm not really too concerned about this, uh, lineup
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: that the angels are thrown out there, but I mean,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: eight and a half K prop. I don't think we've
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: seen that all year needs. So, uh, you know, that's
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: something to be said within itself. I've, you know, I mean, damn, that's,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty high K prop. I mean, And you
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: want to move down. I mean, Williams is really high
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: up there. I can't poke too many holes in what
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: he's got other than he has been getting hit a
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: little bit. But I mean, the strikeout should be able
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to cover that. I would expect him to have 10
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: K's tonight. I mean, I think that eight and a half.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, they got to bump it up that high
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: because he's probably going to have a handful. He's been
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: looking good glass now. Man, I thought about Glass now,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you. I mean, you're sitting here
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: looking at a guy who I looked up his last start,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: rehab start. He got almost to 80 pitches. You know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Dodgers are notorious for yanking guys out
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: a little bit early. But, I mean, he's sitting at
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: a 6.5K prop. I mean, Glass now is just– he's
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: always been a guy that we've used chasing for strikeouts.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I get he's coming off the I.L., So
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: we don't know exactly what we're getting. The game does
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: have an eight and a half K prop, but I mean,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: you got Olsen. I mean, I think there's some strikeouts.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, Dubon's at 13% for strikeouts. Albies is at 18%.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Everybody else is 22% and higher. Well, Harris is 21%,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: but Austin Riley, 32%, Murphy, 42%. So, I mean, there
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: are some strikeouts to be had there. So I think
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: glass now for me is like a tournament play that
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I would leave in my pool I just feel like
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: he's a decent pivot off Williams I mean Williams isn't
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: you know isn't it's just not a lock like I
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: said he has been getting hit a little bit I
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: do think he's going to get pretty high ownership so
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: if you're looking to pivot off Williams I think glass
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: now would be a guy to look at. Harrison, you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: like you said, what are we getting? 90 pitches one game,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: 70 the next, 80 the next. I mean, he's kind
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of like a boomer bust, but we get a matchup
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: against the Mets. We've been kind of picking on the Mets.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: The Mets have been pretty good here, actually, the last month,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: but we got a game total sitting at seven and
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: a half. I mean, you got Benj, Robert, Jared Young, Ewing.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: So you got four bats that are over 24% for
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: strikeout rate. Lindor and Bichette and Torrens, they're not going
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to get too much out of them. Actually, Kyle Harrison's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: looked pretty good in his last 30 days. He's at
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: 41% strikeout rate to the left side. He's at 31%
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: strikeout rate to the right side. I mean, he's 8Ks, 3Ks, 10Ks, 2Ks.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: So it seems like every other start, To me, that's
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the definition of a tournament play. So I don't mind
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Kyle Harrison either, but I do prefer Glasnow, I think,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: over Harrison. And then we get to DeGrom. I think
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: DeGrom is interesting. I mean, you mentioned they yanked him
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: for arm fatigue. He did have another start where he
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: ended up coming out. He had the 10 Ks. They
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: let him get the 94 pitches. So with that being said,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: and that matchup was against Washington, who... Man, Washington's been
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: smashing the shit out of the baseball around that time
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: when he came in. He's got a matchup against the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: White Sox. I don't really like to mess with the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: White Sox, to be truthful, but they do have some strikeouts.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Murakami's at 32%. Colson Montgomery's at 36%. Brenton Doyle, 34%.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: You've got a handful of other guys that are in
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: the high teens. So I think DeGrom could get the
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: job done. His last 30 days, his strikeout percentages– have
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: gone up a few percentage points to the left side.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: He's right about the same percentage points for the right
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: side so far. So, you know, I think DeGrom is
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: a guy, especially at his price that I could, I
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: could buy into. I do like DeGrom more in glass
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: now in Harrison. So I, I leave him there. I
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: just don't like the matchup against the White Sox. I
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: just feel like I need to get the whiskey bottle.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like, it's just one of them things.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: It's like, damn it. I been bitching about that all year.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I don't like the fuck with the White Sox. And
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: then you got Paul Skeens. That dude's already thinking about
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: what his wife's wearing when he's on the mound, when
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: he's getting home. Like, I think he done mailed it in. Like,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: he not even, it don't even seem like he's home. Like,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I don't even know, man. I'm skipping Skeens. I don't
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: want nothing to do with Paul Skeens. Urania, I'm not
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: really interested in Urania either. I mean, it's just, I
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: can't do it. And then, you know, you start getting
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: down here with the Bradley, Kirby's, and King's. I think
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: there's a few guys down below, like we already mentioned, Libertor.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: You know, I got a few guys up top that
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I do think have some high strikeout ceilings today. And
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I think these guys down here in this low 8K, high,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: you know, middle 8K range, I just don't like the
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: upside I'm getting at all. I think today is a
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: day that I'm going to have to worry about the
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: high upside of pitching. So Gavin Williams with that matchup
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: could easily get 12Ks today. I mean, the K prop's
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: eight and a half. I mean, it's not like he's
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: going too much higher than that. So, I mean, to me,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I think pitching's a little scary. I'm getting worried about
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: these guys down below, the Kirby's, Bradley's, Urania's. I'd have
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a hard time with that. But I do say moving
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: on up, I'd go Gavin Williams by far is the
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: best pitcher. Then I'd go DeGrom, Glasnow, and Harrison. And, man,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I got a gut feeling that Glasnow is going to
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: put up a pretty big game today. I mean, when
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: you're a guy like Glasnow and you're walking out there
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: and you just brought in a guy like Tarek Skubal,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: if you don't think that these dudes are going to
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: feed off each other, I mean, come on, man. That
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: pitching staff's sick. So they're all sitting there looking at
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: each other like, man, I got to outdo this guy.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: And Glasnow ain't going to get left out. That guy's
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: got a rocket for an arm. So I do like
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: glass now. I mean, I don't really love the matchup,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: but I think on this slate, he's definitely interesting. I
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: think he'd be right there. Not too far below the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: ground for me, but I don't like picking on the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: white socks, man. Like I I'm kind of torn, but
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: you know, when the slate comes up, I might put
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: glass now ahead of the ground, but man, Gavin Williams
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: by far is the best pitcher on the slate.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with Gavin Williams. Number one, um, I
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: do have DeGrom number two. I know the matchup is
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: kind of scary picking on the White Sox there, but
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: DeGrom is a million times better than Kumar Rocker. Rocker just, yeah,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: he gave up a home run or two. And even
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: if DeGrom gives up a home run or two, I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: think he can match it with the strikeouts. Props would agree.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Six and a half K prop juice of the over there.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Third best in the slate behind glass now and Gavin Williams.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So I do have DeGrom too. I'm not playing Paul Skeens.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I think you can play him if you want to.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I just, The matchup, his velocity has consistently dropped since
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: last season, continues to go down. He gets one of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the worst strikeout matchups in baseball against the Padres, who
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: are hitting the ball right now. I know the ballpark's good,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: but I just can't do it on a 12-game slate
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: with this good of pitching overall. So I'm out on
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Paul Skeens. I do want to hit on Glassnow and Harrison.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I have Harrison slightly above Glassnow just because I don't
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: know what Glassnow's pitch count's going to look like. Now,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Glassnow has the better strikeout matchup. I get that. He
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: does mow down righties. He's going to see Acuna, Riley, Murphy,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and Dubon. Braves douche K, a decent amount, about 25%
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: over the last month against right-handed pitching. It's just there's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of unknowns. So for the $ 500 savings, I
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: do slightly prefer Harrison just because, I mean, if Harrison
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: goes out there and gets his 90 pitches, which usually
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: is where he's been living, In this ballpark and city field,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I think he can post eight to ten strikeouts. So
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I do like him. I think he's going to be
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: a little lower owned as well off of a guy
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: like DeGrom. So for me, I rank this top tier. Gavin,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: number one, clear cut, then drop off a cliff down
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to DeGrom, then Harrison, then Glass now. I'm out on skeins.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Out on Urena, not playing Kirby or King. I do
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: want to talk on Taj Bradley. I was all over
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Zebby yesterday. I played a shit ton of Zebby Matthews yesterday.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Worked out well for me. The issue I have on
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: this slate with Taj Bradley in this ballpark is he's $ 2, 000
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: more expensive than guys like Brady Singer, Anthony K. We're
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: going to talk about Libertor. I don't know why I
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: need to play a guy in Taj Bradley who, in
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: terms of props, has worse props in Vegas than guys
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: who are $ 2, 000 cheaper than him on a slate where
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: we have 12 offenses to pay out for. We have
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. We have the Yankees. We have, obviously, the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Twins and the A's. I think he's a good play
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: on a different slate. I just can't get there at 8,500.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if he posts a good game.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Same reason I was on Zebby yesterday. His props are good.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: It's just compared to the price point and the cheaper
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: options we have on the slate. I just rather spend down.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I know you're going to get Bradley lower own, but again,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I just rather prefer upgrading my bats than playing Taj Bradley.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of how I see the top tier.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: It's really the four guys at the top for me. Headlined, obviously,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: by Gavin Williams. Majority of my teams are going to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: be anchored with Gavin Williams. And then one of the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: cheaper options, if I can afford double spend-ups, then DeGrom
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: would be second, like I said. Harrison third, Glasnow four.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: But ideally, it's going to be one of those top
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: guys and a cheaper arm on the slate. And I
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: think you can actually play two of these cheaper arms
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: that we'll talk about here. Let's drop down below 8K here, G. Rison. Obviously,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Libertor looks like the best points per dollar play on
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the slate. Ownership's going to be Pretty decent, but you
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: do have Aaron Nola as well, who's going to command
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a decent amount of ownership. He's coming off a good start.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: He's better than a $ 6, 700 arm talent overall long term.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I know he's given up the most home runs in baseball.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: He hasn't looked like himself. He's still pitching in Seattle.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of calling last night an anomaly. Zach Wheeler
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. I don't care what happened last night. I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: would not be shocked. to see both sides of this game.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I think Nola can have a good game and I
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: won't be shocked to see Seattle hit a couple of
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: home runs. But I do think Nola at $ 6, 700 does
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: have a lot of strikeout upside. I prefer Libertor straight
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: up over him. I think ownership is going to be
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: kind of split between those guys. So for me down here,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: it is Libertor number one, Nola two. I think Brady
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Singer is a little interesting. Anthony Kaye, I think is interesting.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: And then Talk to me, any interest in a guy
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: like Adrian Hauser. He's familiar with Cincinnati, obviously when he's
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: pitched with Milwaukee. He gets this amazing matchup. I mean,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: we just saw a shitty pitcher, Wisenhunt, just absolutely mow
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: this team down yesterday until he got injured. I mean,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: can you stomach an Adrian Hauser at $ 5, 700 on this
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: slate and just flip the build completely? How do you
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: see the lower tier here?
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the lower tiers... got a lot of options for us.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And before I kind of get into that, I was
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: wanting to answer Metro boom here about King. King's going
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: to see like six lefties and his strikeout percentage is
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: pretty low. It's like 19% for the season. His last
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: 30 days has been down to 17%. So with the
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: options we have that we're going to talk about below here,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: which I think we got like three or four, like
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: four good ones, like maybe five that we can look at.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: And then like we said, with the upside that we
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: have on top, a guy like King, I just don't
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: see the upside in the ceiling. Like if we had
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: a six game slate, you know, like I'm looking for outs,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you know, King would be a guy I'd consider playing,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: but When I got a strikeout upside kind of slate
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: here we got today, I do worry a little bit
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: about that. But, you know, you mentioned, you know, what
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: we're working with down below. I think for me, yeah,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Libertor for me is my favorite down below. Like we
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: said at the top of the show, I mean, the
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Orioles strike out the most against left-handed pitching.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: You do have a.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Strikeout or a fly ball type pitcher, though, in Libertor
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: against Baltimore today. But, you know, I think we're all
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: right there. I do like Libitor. His strikeout percentages look
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: pretty good. Nola, you mentioned Nola. Nola's been interesting. I mean,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: his last three starts, he's had 8Ks, 9Ks, 8Ks, and
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: he's been basically 100 pitches, 97, and 97. He gets
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: a Seattle team that I don't really fear. We like
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: the park. It's a whiskey bottle type play. I mean,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: that's for sure. I mean, what are we looking at here?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe the big dumper, Josh Naylor. I mean,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not too concerned about it. Nola does give up
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of power. I mean, that's definitely something. It
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: has dropped, though, in the last 30 days. He went
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: from getting barreled up by lefties– From 9% to 4%,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: he was at 10% down to 8.5%. So he hasn't
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: been getting hit as hard his last 30 days. And
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I've been saying it the last couple weeks, like as
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: we get to the tail end of the season, especially pitching,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I'd put more into the last 30 days than I
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: do most things just because I feel like, you know,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: are guys wearing out? Are they worn down? Have they
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: lost interest? And, you know, so forth. What did the
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: pitch counts look like? So I think that that matters.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: And now we're going to start getting to that time
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: of year, too, where the rosters are going to expand. And,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you know, we're getting to that time where it's going
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: to get fuzzy. But either way, I mean, I think
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Nola definitely has some strikeout potential. I think Singer is
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: another guy that we definitely got to look at playing.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I mean... Normally, Singer isn't a guy that I'm looking
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: for strikeouts, obviously. But, dude, that San Francisco AAA lineup
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: has just been god-awful. Singer's been over 100 pitches his last, shit,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: five out of six starts. But, I mean, we're lucky
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: if we're going to get four or five Ks. But,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, at 6,800, if you're looking for some outs
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: and you're looking for– You know, a guy that might
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: be able to get you a quality start. I think
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Singer is somebody you're going to look at. I mean,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I do like him a little bit more on FanDuel
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: just because he's got so many quality starts here. But,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, Singer is just somebody that I don't mind.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Kay. He's just another guy that's got just–
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just don't like the matchup, really,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: that he's got. He's going to get, what, seven righties.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: He's down at a 15% K rate against righties. That
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: does concern me a little bit. So I do have
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: K a little bit lower down in my low-end pool here.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: But you mentioned Hauser. I think Hauser, I mean, he's actually,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: if you look at his game log when you were
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: talking about him earlier, I mean, he gets a Cincinnati
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: team that does have some strikeouts. His last three games,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: he's been at 17, 21, 17 points. I do like
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: where he's at here in recent times. I mean, we're
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: sitting here looking.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: At the park.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I like the park.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I mean..
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I don't mind the matchup, actually, at all. He hasn't
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: been getting hit hard very well in recent times. And
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: you look at the Reds, Ellie's at almost 28%, Stevenson 28%,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Eugenio 33%, McLean 30%, Myers 27%. The other three bats
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: are at mid-21% range. So there's definitely some strikeouts for
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Hauser to be had. But, I mean, again, he's just
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: not a big strikeout arm either. So I'd have him
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: ranked a little bit below. But, man, down below, Nades,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: I think I'd just kind of keep it tight. I'm
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: not playing Scherzer, Bassett, not playing Lugo. I ain't playing
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: none of them guys. Maybe Will Warren I'd maybe look at.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I don't love it. I mean, maybe if I had
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: a deep pool, I'd consider him in there. I don't
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: really like jump either. But Libertor, easy, number one for
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: me down below. And then I think I'd probably go Singer, Nola,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: and then I'd probably go Hauser is probably where I'm looking.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: But for me overall, salary included, ownership, I'd be going
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Gavin Williams and Libertor on DK would be my favorite
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: pairing that I'd look at. And then if I wanted
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: to mix up and get away from Gavin Williams, I
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: think that's where I'd start to maybe keep in some
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: of my low-end guys, maybe not go double up pitching,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: and maybe throw in a Harrison, a Glasnow, or a DeGrom,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: and then still maybe use one of these lower-end guys.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: But I do think there's some high-end pitching today that
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: we should be aware of and be a little bit
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: more concerned of, more so than we have on normal slates.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: This is definitely a slate we could see some strikeout.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: When we got a top guy with 8.5K prop nades,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: that is definitely something we need to be concerned about.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously Gavin Williams is the main decision point. It's
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a pretty easy decision point for me. It's play him. But, again,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: not a lock-button play. It's still baseball at the end
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: of the day. I do rank the lower tier a
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: little bit different than you. I do have Libertor number one.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I do have Aaron Nola two and then Hauser three.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I just think Anthony Kaye and Singer, the matchups for
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: those guys, I mean, you're hoping for– I mean, you're
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: hoping for 10 to 15. Is that enough on this slate?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know. The props on Hauser are better than
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: both of those guys for cheaper. I mean, he's got
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: a three and a half K prop. Yeah. Those other
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: guys have a four and a half K prop, but
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Hauser's minus one 58 on the other, on the over.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: And those guys singer and Anthony K are juice to
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the under. So you kind of meet in the middle
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and just give me the thousand dollar savings right off
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: of that in terms pitching against Cincinnati, who we've been
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: streamlining pitchers against. He knows this team. I just, I
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: think it's a really good spot for a dirt cheap guy. Um,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: but ideally it's Nola or Libertor if I can get there. Um, I,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: when we talk on Seattle bats, I do like some
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Seattle bats as well against Nola, but this is a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: clear cut sign of he's cheaper or he's too cheap
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: for six, uh, for his talent at $ 6, 700 pitching in
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Seattle basically is what it comes down to. And If
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: he gives up a home run or two to guys
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: like a Rosarena or Ken's own. Sure. I mean, you're
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: still fine. You can get away with it. So that's
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: kind of how I see the pitching pool. It's Gavin Williams, Libertor, Nola,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the three main headliners, then DeGrom, then probably Harrison, then Hauser,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and then glass. Now it's kind of how I see
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it overall. Any, any final, final takes.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've got a lot of options for pitching. I,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, I, Yeah, there's going to be a couple
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: of clear-cut favorites, but I think we've got a lot
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: of different options. It seems like in the last few
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: weeks we've been struggling to find some good pitching, so
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: it's kind of nice to see at least we've got
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: some options on the board.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, 100%. All right, jump over to bats. First game
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: on the slate, we are in Yankee Stadium. It is
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: a good place to hit here tonight, as it typically is,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: especially for left-handed power. You've got wind blowing out towards Yankee.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: The short porch in right field as well, around 10
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: miles an hour. You know how bad that Houston bullpen
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: is outside of the back half, right? If you get
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: in the back arms like a hater, those guys. But
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: you have to assume the Yanks jump on this cat
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: here early. Ethan Pecco, just horrible control, not good against lefties.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: He's going to see the Yankees' best lineup that is
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: available right now. Grisham looks great to me. Garcia looks great. Jones, Wells, Rice, Jazz, Bellinger.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: You want all the lefties. Don't forget about Lombard, though, either,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: or Caballero. Both of those guys, I prefer Lombard, but Caballero,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: all it takes is a walk for him. He can
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: steal any time he's on. He's going to steal one
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: through nine. Yankees, my top overall stack on the slate,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: even ahead of teams like the Dodgers and the Twins.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: They're going to be held in check as well in
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: terms of ownership, which Typically is the case on a
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: 12-game slate, but the Twins are going to soak up
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: any sort of ownership that you have to worry about. Anyways,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: love me some Yankees here tonight. I think they're awesome plays.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be loading the wagon on New York
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: here to kick off the slate. How do you see
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: this one?
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it almost seems a little bit too easy,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: don't it? I mean, you got a guy who's– he's
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: ahead to one– One start, he went 90 pitches, gave
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: up a bunch of fly balls. I mean, they're just
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: asking for the trouble today. They're going to be throwing out, what,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: seven lefties at him? I mean, and every one of
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: them's got home run power. Grisham Rice, Garcia, Bellinger, Jones, Jazz, Wells.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're going to– he's got his work cut
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: out for him, as you mentioned. That bullpen sucks too,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: so that's another bonus that we're going to want to
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: chase after. So– Yeah. I mean, I got the Yankees
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: in my top three today. That's for damn sure. I
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: don't know if I got them number one, but I
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: definitely have them up there in my top three. They're
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: definitely up there. I just think that..
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: That bullpen is just bad man like i gotta have
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: a piece of the yankees today like i've been chasing
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: bad bullpens and them and the a's are the bullpens
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: i've been going after and i'm gonna expect to be
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: doing the same today.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you there. I love the Yankees at
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: their ownership. I mean, all these guys are projected to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: be under 5%, 10% owned as a stack. Sign me
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: up for that. I mean, you're talking five guys projected
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: to be right around 40% owned for the five-man stack
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: against Ethan Pecco, who has fly ball issues and command issues,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and then a bad bullpen with the wind blowing out
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: in a short porch. Yeah, it's only 70 degrees. But, yeah,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I'll take my chances. I love the Yankees here overall.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: No Astros interest for me against Will Warren. If you
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: wanted to, the lefties are where you're going. So right
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: away that jumps out to Jordan. His price is way
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: up there. I think Taylor Trammell is actually kind of interesting.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: He's actually put together a pretty good season and he's cheap.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: So I think like a little Trammell, Jordan, a little contrarian,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: a little mini stack, something like that to target that
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: left-handed power where Will Warren is susceptible. But I'm not
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: full stacking the Astros here. Yankees do have a pretty
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: good bullpen. as well. And Will Warren is still a
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: pretty serviceable arm. Jordan's obviously in play anytime he's on
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the slate. You got two other cheap guys in there,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Wade and Varshow. There's some pinch hit risk there. But
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: if you wanted a contrarian Astro stack that has the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: full netting at bats, it'd be the lefties for me.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I just can't play everyone on the slate. So I
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: much prefer the Yankee side of that game. Next spot,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays and the Royals. This team's Probably going to
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: pick up a decent amount of ownership, at least. That's
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: what projections would say when I ran the dry run
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: in terms of the Blue Jays. I just hate picking
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: on Seth Lugo. I mean, this dude doesn't have any
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: upside for a DFS arm. He occasionally will spike a
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: high upside performance, but typically he just goes up there
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and throws, kind of navigates the lineup, just does his thing.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: You always have that horrendous bullpen behind him, so I
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked to see Toronto get there. I'm not
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: playing Toronto on a 12-game slate. Royals... How fitting. They
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: won their first slate, and it was at the live
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: final for $ 1 million. Haven't won a slate since 1912.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Titanic hit the iceberg, and here you go. For $ 1 million,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: 100-man field, the Royals ship everything on a Sunday. Surprise, surprise, right?
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Crazy shit happens on Sunday. I'm not signing up to
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: play the Royals here either. This game, for bats' perspective,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: is not a game that I'm really looking to target
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: too much on either side. Yeah, if you wanted to
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: pick off individual guys, John Rave, if you want to
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: chase his two stolen bases in the 8th, something like that.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Carter Jensen, I don't mind it against Max Serger, the
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: corpse of Max Serger. You want lefties against him, if anything,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: so Michael Massey, Vinny P, Rave, Jensen, those guys I
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: think are fine, but not in this ballpark, not on
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the 12-game slate for me. How do you see it, though?
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, picking on Max has been a lot of fun
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: here in recent times. His last start, he gave up
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: seven earned runs. He hasn't been good. I know I
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: picked on him that night, but I don't generally, as
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: we all know, I don't generally like using the Royals,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: especially on a big type slate. But I mean, maybe
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: if you wanted just to look like for Caglione, Bobby Witt,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: you could look at maybe some Vinny P. I just
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: wouldn't get overly excited on it. That Toronto bullpen hasn't
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: looked good either, but. I'd have the Royals maybe just
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: outside my top five today. I mean, I bump them down.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I just don't like using them as a full stack
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: because I just don't feel like they have enough power overall.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: They really get the job done. As you said, it's
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: kind of been a while since they've won a slate. But, man,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I like picking on Max. You know, I've always thought
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: about Max too, Nades. Like how many people name their
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: dog Max because they got two different colored eyes, like
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: a blue and a brown one? I think we all
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: kind of know. It seems like we know somebody. I
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: know two people named their dog Max because they got
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: a blue eye and a brown. I mean, I did
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: know he did pitch in Detroit, so it probably makes
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: it a little bit more relevant. But, yeah, I always
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: laugh when I say it. I'm like, oh, baseball fan?
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I always say that.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I get it. I mean, I can see
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: the case for sure. But the issue is Toronto bullpen, yeah,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: it hasn't been as good. As it started the year,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: it's about 14th right now, kind of middle of the
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: pack in terms of XFIP over the last two months.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: The issue is that they're all rested. They had a
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: day off yesterday. So nobody's going back to back. And
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the most taxed arm is at like 20 pitches in
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: the last three days with a day off yesterday. So
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the issue I see then is, I mean, you need
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: kind of the nut run out, right? They're not going
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: to leave Max out there to dry, at least I
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: would hope not. Um, overall, I get the reason I
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: would love to pick on max. If the bullpen was
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: more taxed, I'd make a better case for it, I think. Um,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be shocked to see it. You definitely
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: want the lefties. Yeah. I mean, you can play Carter Jensen,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Vinny P Bobby whip Perez, those guys at any time
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: they're on the slate. Um, but I won't go crazy
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: overboard here. I will say Michael Massey is a pretty
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: cheap second baseman. Second baseman is a second base is
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: a pretty weak position. So I don't, I don't hate that.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: But overall, I'm not super excited there. I do get
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the reasoning and the points there. However, next spot, Brewers, Mets,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Citi Field. I told myself I'd never stack in this
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: ballpark again. That includes here tonight. Wouldn't be shocked to
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: see the Brewers put up a big score. I'm just
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: not going to be chasing it. I mean, Zach Thornton's
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: not any good, in my opinion, especially against righties. Churria
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: looks like a great spend up. Vaughn, Gary Sanchez, William Contreras,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: who's been red hot as of late. Joey Ortiz as
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: well against lefties I think he could play I just
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I hate this ballpark I don't I mean I just
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know I I hate this ballpark I don't
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: really want to play it on a 12 game slate
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: doesn't really change here seven and a half game total
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: as well talk to me how do you see this one.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I'm having the big one I'm having the big one
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Nate you mean to tell me I like the Brewers
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: more than you What in the damn world are we
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: living in, son? Like, seriously. No, you look at Thornton
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: on the other hand, man. That dude's not good against righties.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: He's got a low ground ball percentage, which... That's what
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: we need against the Brewers. He's got 36% ground ball
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: rate compared to a 51% ground ball rate to the
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: left side. But, I mean, he's only going to get, what, two?
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Terang and Mitchell, probably the only two left he's going
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: to see. The last 30 days, Nades, he's been getting
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: smoked by righties. 380 WOBA. He's got a 232 ISO.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: He's got a 15% K rate and a 10% barrel
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: rate against righties. Now, I get you don't like the park.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Normally the Brewers ain't a team banging a bunch of
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: homers anyway. They do everything else. Like they're stealing bags,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: taking extra bags, getting the hit. They're putting the ball
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: in play. So I think the Brewers are a team
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: that I would have in my, we'll call them my
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: sneaky bucket. Like, don't discount the Brewers here. Like, I
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: still think, and the Brewers are the ones that once
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: in a while put up game totals that, you know,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: makes you like, damn, like they put up them 22
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: runs a week ago. I mean, I get it. It's
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: a game total sitting here looking at seven and a half.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: I generally don't like offenses in games that got a
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: seven and a half total. I just don't think Thornton's
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: that good. I do prefer the Brewers against the righty. But,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, we got a lefty here that's just not
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: keeping the ball on the ground. He's been getting hit hard.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, you got a team in the Brewers that
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: we know are going to score some runs. And I
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: definitely think the Brew crew, we can't discount the Brew crew, Nate.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I can't discount it, but the issue
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: is Thornton is pretty hard to steal on anyways. He's
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: only allowed three stolen bases in 50 innings pitched, and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: the ballpark sucks. I mean, it's just horrible. I would
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: not be shocked to see them have upside, right? Talked
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: about Churrio. Contreras, who's had a great month. Joey Ortiz
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: has been probably one of the best players sneakily on
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: this entire team over the last two months if you
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: look at his stats overall, so I get it. Cooper
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Pratt being back in that lineup. It makes a lot
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: of sense, right? They have a lot better lineup against
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: left-handed pitching. Now that also adds in pinch hit risk, right?
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Guys like Jake Bowers aren't in there. He's going to
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: come off the bench. Yelich isn't in there. He could
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: come off the bench. So I just see a lot
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: more downside. I would not be shocked in tournament, like
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: 20 max stuff. I think they're a great play when
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: you're eating chalk, your arms, right? If you're going like
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: a liberator, Gavin Williams, like everyone else, Don't play the Twins.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Play the Brewers, something like that. In those larger field contests,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I can definitely see it. But I do have some
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: other sneaky stacks on the slate that I like more.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I know it's shocking. I know it's breathtaking. It probably
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: means the Brewers are going to score 15 tonight because
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I'm off of them. But hopefully you guys tail and
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: you win all the money then, G. Rison. I would
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: like to.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Go on board and send you a screenshot with the
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Brew Crew stack.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: That I won and you didn't win on. You know
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: my golden rule. I always have them in MME, so
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: hopefully that team gets all the way there. But in
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: my MME stuff, I just– That would.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Help them get to the top of my new list
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: for a new playoff team I'm looking for. That's for sure.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: I would love it as a fan, but, yeah. Next spot, Dodgers, Braves,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Bryce Elder on the mound, Tyler Glass now making his
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: first start back after an injury. Dodgers, good implied run
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: total right up there with teams like the Braves. Dodgers
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: going to get some ownership on this team. They probably
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: are on the slate. They probably come in second behind
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: the twins. Full not locked in for nine innings here.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Truist Park, it's going to be like 90 degrees, super
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: hot and humid out there in Atlanta. Some slight wind
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: blowing out as well is going to play above average
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: here for hitting in this park. Issue for me is
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: the Braves bullpen is just straight nails. It is still
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers at the end of the day. I think
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: they're a good place. They're up there. They're one of
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: the top stacks. I do have the Twins and the
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Yankees both over them, but I do think they have
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: to be in your top five here. Elder historically struggles
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: against left-handed hitters, and you're going to see some really
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: good ones here. Otani, Freeman, Muncie, Edmund, Tucker, Thomas, Alec Thomas,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: my guy back in there, he's always got a soft
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: spot for me. I love that dude. He's a big
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: pinch hit risk, but, I mean, he's 2,400, and Alex
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Call is making the start. So that's one of the
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: guys that if a lefty came in, they would probably
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: pinch hit Alex Call in there. I think this is
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a really good spot on paper, and I definitely see it,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: and I will definitely have them in my top five.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I do have a couple other swads above them, though.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Talk to me here. How do you see this one?
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got the– Dodgers a little bit probably below
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: than you do. I mean, I probably have him around five,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you. The thing that worries me is, yeah,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Elder can get beat up. I mean, he hasn't been good,
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: but I mean, he wasn't good two starts ago. The
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: seven out of eight starts before that, he gave up
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: three earned runs or less. He doesn't have a high
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: strikeout percentage. His walk rate in his last 30 days
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: has been pretty high to the left side. I get it.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers got a bunch of lefties, but you mentioned
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: that Brace bullpen is tough. And I'm pretty certain they
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: got about four lefties sitting down there that are pretty
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: mean too. So there is a lot of pinch hit
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: risk down there below with Tucker. It seems like they're
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: getting mad at Tucker. And then Alec Thomas. I think
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: all those guys down at the bottom are definitely pinch
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: hit risk. You probably end up seeing Kiki, do you
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: love me? Come in at some point. But I think
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: that's what worries me. I think it's that bullpen and
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: the lefties that are going to be able to roll out.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: I think it's what's scaring me. But I mean, they
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: definitely could get to Elder and get the job done.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: I think that game's going to have to have some
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: runs at the beginning half because the back half of
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: that game, it's going to get pretty tight. But yeah,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: I think they're in play. It's just, I mean, if
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: they were going to be the highest zone team, it'd
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: be an easy fade for me just because I'd be
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: afraid of the bullpen. But, yeah, I mean, I probably
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: have them around my– I got a few teams I
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: like a little bit more in them, but they're definitely
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: in play for me. But I am concerned about the
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: bullpen and the lefties I got.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just– I hate stacking against Atlanta, regardless of
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: who it is, because of that bullpen. That bullpen's really good.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: It's rested. They had a day off yesterday. So they're
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: going to have– they're good guys. Suter's probably going to
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: be available. He's a lefty. So the biggest pinch hit
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: are the catcher, Hunter F, I'll call him, because– I'm
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: terrible at pronunciations. And then Alec Thomas is your next guy.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: You're probably talking like a 50-50 chance that the catcher
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: gets pinch hit for there. So there is some risk
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: there overall. I get the reasoning, but that's why I
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: have teams like the Yankees, the Twins, some of those
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: squads over the Dodgers here tonight when you add in
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the bullpen for me. Next spot, White Sox Rangers, Jacob DeGrom,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Anthony Kaye in the mound. Kaye, not good against righties.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: I think Wyatt Langford, Zeke Durin. Jake Berger make a
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: lot of sense here. Berger hit a bomb yesterday. Duren
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Langford had good games. They almost helped me pretty much
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: take down everything at like 2% ownership. Shout out to
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: my guy Bellman for getting me on some Rangers yesterday.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: And the White Sox had to use a shit ton
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: of their bullpen yesterday. We know the bullpen sucks. You
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: want to talk about a sneaky spot here. I mean,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: you're going to get the Rangers unowned on a slate
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: where we just saw them put up almost 10, 10
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: runs yesterday. And now they got even a more tax
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: bullpen against a guy who, yeah, is decent against lefties,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: but is horrible against righties. I think the Rangers are
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: super sneaky on the slate. Nobody's going to play them.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: They got the job done for me yesterday. I'm going
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: to go right back to the well. I prefer the
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: righties overall, but Corey Seager is one of the best
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: lefty lefty hitters in the game. Talk to me here.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: How do you see this one?
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't mind picking on K here.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's got a 14% K percentage to the
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: right side. 15% on the year, 14% in the last
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: 30 days. He gets barreled up by righties. So, yeah,
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: I don't mind it at all. I mean, especially with
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: a guy– he does have a mid-ground ball lean, though.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's been getting more ground balls the last
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: 30 days than he did at the beginning part of
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: the season. He's at 63% to lefties, 46% to righties. So,
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, with that being said, we're going to
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: want some of these guys that hit fly balls– Corey Seager,
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: as you mentioned, 28%. Lankford, almost 30%. Hoppe, 35%. Berger, 30%.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Duran, 27%.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, they got some guys that can get the
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: ball up in the air. Even Jansen down there at
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the lineup. So I do like it.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's definitely in play. I wouldn't have it
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: too high up my rank. It ain't in my top
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: five or nothing. But as far as picking on DeGrom...
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe if you wanted to power hunt, if
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: you wanted to maybe do that. I mean, he has
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: been getting barreled up by lefties so far this year.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: His ground ball percentage is low. DeGrom, 27%, 36% fly
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: ball rate. So, I mean, Murakami gets the ball up
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: in the air quite a bit, 40%. That's pretty high.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: So is Colson Montgomery. They do have some strikeouts there,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: but I feel like you're going to get a strikeout.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Or a fly ball hit in the air against the ground. So,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you wanted to maybe get a little leverage,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: I think you're going to get some ownership on the ground.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say he's going to be the top end pitcher.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: I could see him probably, you know, maybe in the
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: teens or so. But yeah, I mean, maybe you wanted
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: to one off one of the White Sox. I don't
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: hate it. I don't hate it. You definitely know that
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: they got some power there. Um, but yeah, I think
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: I'd look at that, but the Rangers, I think are interesting.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: I think the more you talk about it, um, I
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: think you're, you're selling me a little bit more on it,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: but I don't mind picking on K.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I just, when you add in the bullpen,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: how bad it is and you're talking 87 pitches, 87 pitches,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: those guys are both, those are long guys, but they're
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: both unavailable. Brazza band through 21 yesterday. He's at 47.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: He's going to be unavailable. And then the next guys
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: that they have left new come through. 38 pitches on Sunday.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: He's going to be fatigued. Taylor, 30 pitches. Smith, 25.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, so you're talking about their back end guys
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: are the guys available. And I mean, one of them
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: is already a lefty, too. So the Rangers might see
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: a bunch of lefties in this lineup. So you're talking
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: pinch hit risk a little bit lower, too, for this squad.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: It's a decent place to hit 70 some degrees in
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Chicago with some slight wind kind of shifting around the
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: field as well. and they're unowned. So I personally, myself,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: I do have the Rangers ranked ahead of the Royals
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: just because I like the spot a little bit more
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: in the ballpark more. And it's a much worse bullpen
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: and it's tax. So everything kind of checks out to
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: me would not be shocked to see the Rangers get
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: the job done and they're dirt cheap, honestly. And maybe
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: that's how you flip the bill G rising. You go,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: we definitely have to spend up arms to play on
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: the slate. Maybe you pair up Jacob to ground with
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: the Rangers and then play Gavin Williams alongside of them
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: and just go double spend and flip the build completely.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting route to go. On the
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: White Sox, I didn't want to call it one guy.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: My guy, Tristan Peters, this dude is red hot at
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: the plate right now. DraftKings refuses to raise his price.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: He will steal bases. He's hit a home run in what,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: two out of the last three games or three straight,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: something like that. He's 2,800 at outfield against a fly
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: ball guy in DeGrom giving up a ton of power.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Peters has not struck out at all in the last month.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: 246 ISO, 341 WOBA. He looks like a great value
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: play that nobody's going to play in the slate. Murakami
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: obviously can always get there. It's either a home run
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: or a fly or a strikeout it seems for, for,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: for him. So I'd just rather save the $ 3, 000 at
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: an outfield spot where it's not a single opportunity cost
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: of first base, right? Where you can only play one.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Give me some Tristan Peters. I think he's a really
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: good play on the slate as well as a one-off
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: next spot. Cardinals, Orioles, Bassett, Libertor. Um, you're going to
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: get some leverage against Libertor. Um, Encarnacion Strand would be
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the guy I'd look at. I think Libertor is one
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: of my favorite pitchers on the slate. He is a
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: fly ball guy, but Busch Stadium does mitigate that somewhat.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: These Cardinals pitchers, I don't know. These guys are magicians.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: I do think Libertor is like their best one that
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: they have. So I'm more in on Libertor than any
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: of these O's. I would not be shocked to see
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: a guy like Kobe Mayo, Encarnacion Strand, Pete Alonzo, like
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: I said, tag one there. But overall, as a stack,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not on the O's. Cardinals, I think Weatherholt Burleson.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Chris Bassett, the corpse of him, he's horrible against lefties.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: So you got Nolan Gorman as well, a cheap third
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: baseman with a ton of power. He came back up
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: from AAA. I think Weatherholt, Burleson, Nolan Gorman make a
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: lot of sense on this slate. Pick two of those
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: three or play all three of them. They're all cheap.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: They're all reasonably priced. And Bassett is still trotting out
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: there making starts. He can't get lefties out. So it
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to me too. So I
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: see some one-offs, two-man stacks here, not full five-mans for me. Personally,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: how do you see this one?
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, Bassett has been pretty good against righties. I mean,
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: you can't do that. I mean, he's not been good
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: against lefties. What, 13% K rate? I mean, he's got
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: a pretty good ground ball rate as well to the
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: right side. So we got a mid-ground ball lane pitcher
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: that can't strike anybody out. you know, you're going to
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: want some lefties if you want anything against them. I mean,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: I guess I would look for, for Burleson if I,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: you know, if you wanted to go that route. I just,
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: I don't like it. I just, I wouldn't get there
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: and I'm not interested in picking on Libitor with the O's. I,
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: I think the only one, if you wanted to go there,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: maybe Strand, like you mentioned, Colby Mayo, Lonzo, maybe that
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: part of the lineup. But after that, I got no interest.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. That's the first six early games. So
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: another clear cut slate where you have six early, six late.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Makes for a lot of sense in terms of late swapping.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: If you're playing DeGrom, DeGrom kind of shits on his head.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Harrison doesn't do good. Any of those guys, right, and
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: you're back loaded with a chalky twin stack, something like that,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: definitely make sure you're around to late swap your teams
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: with these six Nike slate games and kind of let
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Saberson do its power in terms of the live ownership
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: that it has, right? The more information you have, the
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: better overall you can make in terms of your lineup adjustments.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: First game of the night window here. Guardians, Angels, Urena
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: on the mound. Gavin Williams, this is a clear-cut cross-off
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: spot for me. Urena has been good. I'm not playing
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: any Guardians. Gavin Williams, I'm not playing any Angels against him.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you wanted to play Mike Trout, sure,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: you can play him. But this is a clear-cut stay-away
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: spot for me from a bats perspective. Gavin Williams, best
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: arm on the slate. Urena has been good enough real life.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Don't really love his price and his upside at the
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: price tag. But I'm not playing bats against him either.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: You mentioned it. I think Trout would be the only
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: guy I'd even consider playing as a one-off against Williams.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: If you wanted some leverage, he has been getting barreled
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: against righties 16% in the last 30 days, almost 12%
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: on the year. I did mention he gives up some power,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: so I don't mind Trout. I don't mind him at all, actually.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: I think he'd be definitely maybe even some netto. You
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: could go there. They both have decent fly ball rates.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: So I'm not overly concerned, and I'm not picking on
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Urena either. He's a notorious ground ball pitcher. I don't
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: want anything to do with that at all. I can't
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: play Cleveland in a normal spot, let alone a ground
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: ball pitcher, so I'll just pass.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Next spot on the docket, we do
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: have the Cubs and the D-backs. Brandon Fodd on the mound,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Clay Holmes on the mound. I don't think Clay Holmes
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: is very good. I mean, Lars Neupahr, Carroll– Perdomo, some
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: of those lefties look pretty good to me. You've got
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: a cheap Kepler. Tim Tawa just continues to hit for
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: this team, but I just can't play Tim Tawa at
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: first base over a bunch of these other first basemen.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Cubs have been red hot. Outside of PCA fucking smoking
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: my lineup last night, $ 7, 000 zero. That was nice, but
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: the hell of a season he's putting on. He's all
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: the way up at $ 6, 900. You have to pay for it,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: but the rest of this lineup is pretty affordable. Michael
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Bush looks really good to me, Ian Happ. Pedro Ramirez
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: is red hot right now. He's 4K at second base.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: I think he's interesting. Conforto hit a bomb last night.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: So did Kelly. I think he could get to this
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Cubs lineup, but Fott's just a decent enough pitcher. I
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: think he's actually better than what people give him credit for.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: So this is really not a spot that I love
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: the Cubs. I would not be shocked to see the
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Cubs do their thing. I actually might give a slight
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: lean to the Arizona lefties at the top of that
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: lineup overall. But again, not a spot where I really
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: love offense too much in retrospect to some of the
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: other teams we already talked about. How do you see
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: this one?
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, the only reason I'd even play the Cubs
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: is if you were a Cubs fan and you just,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: or you just want to play a team that's been
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: just hitting well. Cause I mean, Fats like 13 games
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: in a row before his last one had like literally
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: two earned runs or less. Like the dude just don't
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: get hit hard at all. So I think that's definitely concerning.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: He did give up three homers though, his last start.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: But that's totally an anomaly because I don't think he
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: gave up a home run from like since like June 30th.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: He didn't give a home run. So it was like
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: two months. He didn't give up a homer. So then
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: he gave up three last time. So I'm just a
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: little concerned about that matchup with with with fat, fat, fat,
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: whatever his name is. But I mean, yeah, you mentioned PCA,
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: but I just I don't like to mess with pitchers
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: that seem to be. pitching well his his controls good
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: he just doesn't have the upside as far as K's
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: that we're looking for we definitely don't want to pick
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: on the Cubbies as far as using Brandon Fott but
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not interested in uh in using the Cubs I
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: mean like I said if you wanted to go there
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: just because they've been you know one of the better
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: offense in baseball and PCA and ride that chain then
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: then go for it but I mean other than that
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: it just doesn't it the numbers don't line up for me.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah I agree. I do think the Arizona sides are
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: kind of sneaky overall, though, against Clay Holmes, who I'm
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: not a believer in. Next spot on the slate, Pirates, Padres,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Paul Skeens, Michael King. This is a game that I'm
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: just pretending doesn't exist. I know Skeens has not been good.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Padres could do their thing. Jackson Merrill, I think, is
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: a good one-off. Fernando Tatis, but I'm not playing 6K
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: for Tatis against Skeens in this matchup. Skeens still does
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: have the strikeouts. he does give up some runs, so
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I'd not be shocked. I'm just not playing San Diego's
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Park on a 12-game slate against Paul Skeens and that
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: bullpen who, obviously, like I said yesterday, made a bunch
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: of additions at the trade deadline to beef it up,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: and then obviously we know how good San Diego's bullpen is.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: It's a game I'm just pretending doesn't exist from bats,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: and I hope it's 3-1, something like that, and Skeens
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: just doesn't post a ceiling game where you have to
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: have it. How do you see it?
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to pick on schemes. I mean,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: game total sitting at seven and a half. We don't
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: like the park. So isn't really unnecessary, you know, for
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: us to try to jam it. I just I don't
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: like it. I mean, if you wanted if it was
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: in a different park, I'd maybe be interested in some
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: of the lefties for the Pirates against King, who hasn't
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: looked good at all against lefties in recent times. But
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: I just I don't like the park. I think there's
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: too many way better spots and it's just not worth it.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I agree. Takes us to the most important game, Sutter Health.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: 90-some degrees here, wind blowing out. Surprise, surprise, rinse and
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: repeat of yesterday. Twins did some damage yesterday, but again,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: I prefer them more as mini stacks. The mini stack
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: got there as well. Again, yesterday, another spot where I'd
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: not be shocked to see them. I do think Gage
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Jump is a much better talent, arm talent, than Jeffrey
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Springs is. So I think the twins are still interesting
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: as like many stacks Clemens, even lefty lefty. I think
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: he's going to be one of the lower own guys.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: I think he's interesting. Culpepper Royce Lewis. I like that
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: combo at four, six in the lineup that that got
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: a big bump. I'm still going to completely, I'm still
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: going to fade Byron Buxton. Maybe he gets back on
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: the horse after he hit a double yesterday. I just,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I haven't liked what I saw from him and he's
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: going to be one of the highest on bats on
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: the slate and is expensive. So for me, I ranked
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: the twins. I go Lewis, Culpepper, Jeffers, Clemens, those kind
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: of four. I don't love this squad again here as
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: a full stack. I like the Dodgers more. I like
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: the Yankees more. I like a team we're going to
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: talk about more. I like some of the other squads
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: we already talked about. Texas, I mean, add ownership on
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: a 12-game slate. I'm not just fading them because they're over-owned.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I get it, right? Jump has not been good at home.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: 6 ERA, has command issues. I can see the upside.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I think he's a good enough arm talent long-term. that
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: kind of takes me off the twins and if the
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: twins go out there and get you six runs that
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: might not be enough at their salaries they're super expensive
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: here talk to me how do you see this one.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah you mentioned jumps been bad at home we talked
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: about it when I think Matt and I talked about
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: it when he was on the road it may have
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: been you but like he how much better he is
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: because we feel like he he feel like he's got
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: to throw the perfect pitch all the time at home
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: and that cracker jack Parkey's playing out there in Sacramento,
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: but dude, like he's got a 20% walk rate against
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: lefties his last 30 days, 14 against the right side.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: That game ain't going to get you anywhere. It's Woba's
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: 367 against the righties. So, you know, he definitely could
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: get beat up. I could see where it could happen.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, you look at the twins. I mean, shit,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: you got Culpepper. That dude's going to be pretty popular
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: at shortstop, really cheap shortstop. And then you got some righties, Lewis, Jeffers, Buxton.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: I think they're all definitely going to be in play. Jeffers,
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: I think, is one that I like. I mean, I
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: definitely got the twins in my top three picks. But
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: I think they got, you know, some pretty cheap pieces.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: They always fill out different spots in the infield that
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: are generally tough. But, yeah, I like some twins here.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: And we know that that A's bullpen absolutely sucks. So
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: that's another thing that I definitely like chasing. So, yeah,
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: give me some of them twins. I got them ranked
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: pretty high.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely get the case for sure. It's a
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: great spot on paper. I didn't want to talk about
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: the A's. I'm not going to really be on the
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: A's here. Bradley's a good enough arm. He does give
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: up fly balls to lefties. The issue is that the
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: A's lineup is atrocious. If you wanted to mess with
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Walton or Butler or something like that, I think that's interesting.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not a believer in Jeff McNeil, so if you
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: wanted to ride his kind of decent last month, you
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: could do that. He typically is not a power guy.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: He's a slap it around the ballpark kind of guy.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: On a 12-game slate, that's not the upside I'm looking for.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Cortez does have some power. Issue is, is he gets
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: pinch hit for 100% pretty much. Anytime a lefty comes in,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: he's getting the hook there. So it'd just be Butler
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: and Walton. But overall, I'm a little lower on this
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: game compared to what the field's going to be. I mean,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing like 120% combined ownership for the Twins five-man stack.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: When I ran the dry run, I got like 90-some
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: percent of this team. I mean, I'll take the field
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: against the Twins on a 12-game slate with big contest
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: and top-heavy prize pools. So I'm going to use the
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: twins more as position fillers as two-man kind of stacks
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: and get a differentiating five-man lower own stack and take
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: my chances that way is kind of how I'm approaching
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: the slate. Two games left to talk about. Next one, Phillies, Mariners,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: George Kirby, Aaron Nola. I think this game's kind of
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: sneaky here for offense, G-Roz, and it doesn't feel good
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: to say in this ballpark here, but Kirby has been
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: atrocious over the last month, both sides of the plate.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: Nobody's going to play Philly, and Harper and Schwarber don't
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: give a fuck what part they're hitting at. I'll tell
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: you that right now. They're going to be unknown. Brandon Marsh,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Trey Turner has turned it around in the second half here.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Real Moodle hit a bomb last night. He's got good
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: power against righties. You look at Kirby over the last month,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: I know he's better at home, but a 7% strikeout
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: rate against right-handed hitters, 15% against lefties, 267 iso allowed
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: to both sides of the plate, Wobba above 400. I mean,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty sneaky spot for the Phillies.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: And then we talked about Nola. I think Nola has
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of upside, but what does he do? He
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: gives up home runs. So guys like Canzone hitting second,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: I think he makes a lot of sense. Rosarena, I
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: think he's interesting. J-Rod, I'm not chasing the three home
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: runs from Cal Raleigh. Last night, I saw a thing
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: on Twitter. PCA gave him a smack on the ass
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: as he walked up for his first at-bat, proceeded to
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: go 0-4. And so maybe PCA passed the torch over to,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: to Cal Raleigh last night after he smacked his ass
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: and PCA forgot to hit last night. So maybe that's something,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: but I'm not putting too much stock into that. It'd
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: be Canzone or Rosarena. J-Rod is kind of my three
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: guys I'd look at there. Outside of that, I much
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: prefer the Philly side for bats overall, which seems crazy
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: It's really not crazy, man. Kirby sucks. As you said,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's been bad. I mean, his Wobo to
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: the left side the last 30 days, 475, 350 to
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: the right side. Ground ball percentages are low. Fly ball
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: percentages are high to the right side. He's been getting
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: barreled up by righties. I mean, he's just not been good.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Not good at all. So, you know, I could see it.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: Like you said, Schwarberg and a homer anywhere. Harper... So
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: I don't mind it. I think it's a stack that'd
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: be outside my top five, but I see why you'd
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: want to pick on Kirby. He's just not been good.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: We definitely like the power. Anytime you can get a
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: really powerful lineup in a spot, maybe against a bad
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: pitcher that isn't getting any kind of love, I think
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: it's definitely worth considering. As far as Nola, Nola does
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: give up a lot of power, as we know. I
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: think I'd just rather have some lefties, Canzone, maybe Naylor, Lerner,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: maybe Kyle Riley. I don't generally like chasing, you know,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: the home runs, but maybe, Hey, I mean, he did
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: it's what 50, some 60 last year. So maybe you'll
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: get on a little mini stretch here and not make
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: the season look as bad as it's been for him.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I'd rather prefer to play Nola
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: to tell you the truth, just cause he's been so
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: good with his strikeouts. But yeah, I think the Phillies
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: are definitely interesting. I just, I don't like the park,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: but I think they're interesting. Yeah.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: I don't like the park either, but outside of one park,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: there's really not that many great I mean, Yankee Stadium, sure,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: you can say that, and then obviously Sutter Health. But
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: outside of that, I mean, we don't have Coors Field.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: We don't have a Wrigley win game. We don't have
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: Kauffman Stadium with the wind blowing out. We don't have
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of the best parks on this slate. And
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: you look at the Mariners' bullpen, I know it's been decent,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: but three arms yesterday, three on Sunday, three on Saturday,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: 47-45-39 from their top guys, Dominguez, Rucker, and Vargas. I mean,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty interesting. An unknown Phillies team with
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: a ton of power. I think it makes a lot
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: of sense here. They got to what's-his-face yesterday a little
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: bit as well, and I think Kirby's much shittier overall long-term.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: Last game on the slate out in San Fran here.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Giants and the Reds to end the state. Two pitchers
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: we talked about here. I'm not getting to anyone in
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: this game, really. I do want to say Devers' price
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: is super cheap, but it's still Brady Singer. He has
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: shown some power issues at times to lefties. And he's
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: going to see seven lefties here. I mean, Gilbert and
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: Devers hit bombs last night. Jungho Lee's been actually sneakily
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: really good. So that top three I don't think is
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: the craziest play in the world because you do have
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: a really, really horrible bullpen behind them as well. But
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: I'm much more lean pitching in this one. I do
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: think Devers at third base in particular, 4,100, is a
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: nice pivot off of some of these other guys like
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: Brooks Lee for $ 200 less at a fraction of the ownership.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: How do you see this last game, though?
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'd just power hunt if I was
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: looking for anything. I wouldn't get overly excited about it.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're looking to go against Hauser, you
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: definitely want some lefties, so De La Cruz, maybe Bleday.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: And then, as you mentioned, maybe against Singer, you could
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: go Devers. I just, I don't really like it other
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: than that. So, other than that, I just, I don't
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: like the park. We obviously know San Francisco, San Diego,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: those parks are ones we don't generally play, so I'll
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: just leave it at that. But, Yeah, I think definitely
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: an interesting slate for some bats. We got some decent pitching. So, yeah,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of interested to see how this one works
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: out at the end.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. G. Rising, your top three stacks, your
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: top three pitchers, and a home run call if you
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: have one to round us out. I'll do the same,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: and we'll get out of here and build our teams.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: Top three stacks. I'm going to go Yankees. I'll go Twins.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: And you know what? I think I'm actually just going
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: to say Brewers just because. And then my pitchers, Gavin
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: Williams by far. Libitor, I think, is in there. And
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: then maybe between Harrison and Glass now is what I'd
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: switch out with Gavin Williams. Just a little concerned about
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: his recent form and how he's getting been hit hard,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: but the strikeouts are definitely there. And as far as
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: a home run call goes here today, you know what,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: I think– I'm just going to go with the Yankees.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say I'm going Lewis Garcia is going
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: to hit a home run off Pecco.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: I like that. For me, Gavin Williams, number one. Libertor,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: number two. I'll go Adrian Hauser, three, as an unowned
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: super cheap guy to afford some of those spend-up bats.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: For me, Yankees, number one. I will go Dodgers, number two.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: And then I will say Rangers three. I like the
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: sneaky on own Rangers on this slate. Home run call.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give two. I'm going to go to
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: the Yankees as well. I'm going to go to the
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: six hole 3,100 Spencer Jones. And then my second one
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: is going to go back to the white socks here
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: against the Grom to the seven spot, a little six,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: seven action, Tristan Peters, right in the hot hand there
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: as another value, 2,800 bat. For G-Ryzen, I'm Nades. Good
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: luck tonight in those contests. We hope to see those
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Shipping Nation logos at the top. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Peace.
