  Speaker 1: M hmm. What's up ship a nation YouTube page. We
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: got a Thursday night slate here tonight. Not too much
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: going on. I only got four games, so we're gonna
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: do a quick hit edition for tonight. I'll run down
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the slate here for us. We got four games. As
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I mentioned, too much weather that we really need to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: be concerned about. Actually looks like some pretty good, warm
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: hitting weather as we get into summertime here in the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: baseball season.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Tonight, the game times, we got.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Both sites starting at seven oh five, starting out with
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that Philly and Tampa game sitting over under, sitting at
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: nine seven fifteen. We got Cincinnati and Atlanta over under
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: sitting at eight, Toronto and the Angels at nine thirty,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and then the nine to forty start the Dodgers in Arizona.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: That one's sitting at nine also, so two nine's and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: eight and a half and in eight. As far as
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: team totals go, we're sitting here with the Dodgers sitting
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: up at top five point one, Philly four point nine, Braves,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Tampa and Toronto sitting at four point three, Arizona four
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: point one, Angels three to nine, and the Reds coming
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in at the bottom at three point four. So just
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: looking here at pitching for today, we got eight starters.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Just kind of looking at these strikeout percentages, we got
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Yamamoto at thirty two percent, Lozardo twenty seven percent, Schwallenbach
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: twenty one percent, Basset up there at twenty five percent,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Paft fifth Paft twenty percent. We got Pepio at twenty
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: one percent, Soriano eighteen, Lodolo against Debraves at seventeen. We
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: know twenty two percent or hires what we're looking for.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: We only have three starters here today, which I'm sure
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we'll be talking about here in the pitching slate. So
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: breaking it down as far as salary go, Yamamoto is
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: up on top ten k on both like ten to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: eight over there on FanDuel. Definitely been pitching very well here.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: But as far as salary goes, as we know we're
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: playing fantasy sports, I think the top pitcher that we're
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: gonna have to look at today probably going to be
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: really chalky, especially on DK and FanDuel. Actually at the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: price seventy seven hundred, we're going to see Spencer Swallenbach here,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But I mean this guy's here. Strikeout Ray has been
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: down a little bit here. I mean he's probably around
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty seven percent strikeout pitcher. I mean,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I think this is just a little too cheap for
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: him at seventy seven hundred. So definitely like some Schwellenbach,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: even though he's only had one start over six k's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: so far this year. But moving on there, Lozardo. I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: like him over there on DK at nine K. He's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: ten to two, the second highest price pitcher over there
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: on FanDuel Lozardo's been looking pretty good. I mean he's
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, this raised lineup just don't have all that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: much power against the lefties. Definitely like the matchup here
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: for Lozardo. Next guy I'm gonna roll with is Yamamoto.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned, the highest price pitcher. I mean, I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: just don't want to pay up for him. I mean,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: if he was around nine K, I'd have him preferred
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: over Lozardo. But I just think for the bats I'm
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: gonna want to have, I'm gonna want to save that salary.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Bassett becoming is my fourth pitcher. And then I got Soriano,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the ground ball lean, and then Pepio, who, I mean,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: this guy's struggling He's either really good or he's not.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: But I think I'm just gonna probably pass on him.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I think I'm just probably leave my pitching pool pretty
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: tight today. I think i'd leave at Schwellenbach, Lizardo, Yama
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Motto and Bassett is probably where I'd be looking here today.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But as far as stacks go, I mean, we do
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: have some pretty good pitching out there today. I think
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Pat is probably the weakest pitcher. He does struggle with
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: some power. We know this Dodgers team is loaded with power.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I do like the lefties, so let me have some
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Dodgers here, and that late night Hammer is my top stack.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Another team I'm gonna be looking at here is the Phillies.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've got all kinds of well, all kinds
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of nice weather hitting weather across the slate. This one
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: here is another one here will probably one of the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: better hitting conditions on all the slate. Pepio here does
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: give up some stolen bases. I think you're gonna see
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: some Phillies steal some bags here, probably hitting some home runs.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So definitely like the Philly stack here today. The next
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: one we'll be looking at here as the Brave Stack.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Do like the Braves. I would prefer the righties here
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: against the lefty Lodolo kind of a fly ball guy,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: so Murphy, Riley, White, Uzunya, and then you can steal
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: bags on Lodolo as well.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: The four stack I'm a roll with here today.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: The Blue Jays hate stacking against the ground ball guy
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: here in Soriano. But I mean, you never know that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Angels bullpen isn't all that good. So but blue Jays
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: for me, as I said, I kind of got him
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: in that Royals category. I have him down a little
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: further here, only four game slate, but blue Jays, maybe
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I pick him off a little bit more one offs.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I do like the Angels as a low owned stack
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: here tonight. Don't really like the going against Lozardo here,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: But as he said, we only got four games slate.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: But is some pretty good hitting weather out there as well.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: A couple hitters I look at that I do like.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I like Calibrero, Harper, Murphy, Neto, Conforto, U Geno, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: also maybe looking at here, some of these Dodgers here
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: late night always like me some mookie bets, as we
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: always know.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So but for me, four game slate, let's stay hot. Here.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: We got no weather. We have all kinds of pitching
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that we like, some good pitching. The stacks are going
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to be a little bit tough here today. But as
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I mentioned, get over there check out the slate plan
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: over there at ship it Nation, and we'll be back
• 6:32
