  Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff. What is going on,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Shiba Nation YouTube station?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Back Wednesday, I know it's NFL, but we still got
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: baseball going on. We got 10 games. There's still Millie
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: tickets out there to be chased. There's still other good
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: contests that have money up top. And hey, maybe the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: field might be a little sharper, right, with the fish
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: kind of jumping over to NFL.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: So we probably got to hone it back.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: A little bit here, G-Ryzen, and dive in and Usually
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: probably a good time to kind of scale back a
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: But still, there's still baseball. There's still the rest of September.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And then obviously we've got the playoffs coming down the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: stretch here in October.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Fun month and a half ahead here.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And obviously NFL starts tonight as well.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: So we've got that right here on the docket. I'll
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: bring you in, man. What's going on, brother? Happy Wednesday.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: How's everything?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Man, hey. I got my days mixed up, man. It
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: feels like damn Tuesday to me for some reason just
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: because of the holiday. But, yeah, hey, we're excited. We
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: got football to start. Hey, I appreciate all you degenerates
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: that are in here with us. All, I don't know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: 15 or 20 of you, however many there is. All
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: my friends and family, thank you for still being loyal
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: because I know that's about all that's watching. But, no,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: just fucking around. Either way, hey, it's good to be on.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Last Thursday, I told you I was going to be
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: on with Matt. I was just telling Nate it's pre-show. Dude,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I literally was going through a fucking tornado here in Michigan.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: It literally hit like 4 o'clock, fucking destroyed parts of Detroit,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: which is like 20 miles, 15 miles away from me maybe.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So it was a pretty heavy storm, lost power for.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: A good bit.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: But yeah, always fun. When that happens, I truly enjoy
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: watching some Storms Maids. I think it's pretty cool sometimes.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: You know, not the crazy ones that, you know, you worry, but,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: you know, when it's got some cool lightning and shit,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: that's always pretty fun. But, yeah, we got a pretty
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: interesting slate here today. So, interested to get down. I
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: think we got some decent pitching options. Man, we got
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the Yankees back. We got some Aaron Judge back in
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: the game. So, that's exciting for baseball overall. But, yeah,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, I watched a little bit of some Dodgers
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: and Reds yesterday, Nades and, man, Ellie. That dude's something else, man.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: He rifled the dude out at home, hitting bombs, flipping bats. Like,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: that dude's fun to watch.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But, yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: We're getting into football time. So appreciate all y'all jumping
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: in here. Let's let's see what we can come up with.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: You know, these days, like the early days of football,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the pools, you know, the pools suck. The days after,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: like on Monday for baseball and going forward for, you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: once these guys win some cash on their, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: on their Sunday lineups, baseball. That's where we get a
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: little bit more donkeys back in our in our world needs.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: So do kind of like that. You know, they get
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: a little money in their account. They can't help themselves. So,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: you know, the Mondays and Tuesdays generally, you know, maybe
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Friday after some showdown, you know, get some of that
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: football money back into some baseball. So looking forward to
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: those times coming in. I know we get down to
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the thin and nitty and gritty here after the long
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: grind of the baseball season. But now with football back,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: we'll have some new eyes on our baseball game. So
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: kind of excited for that. But yeah, Nades, let's see
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: what we can muster up here. Let's draw us up
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: some winner. We got to get some extra fun coupons
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: for them football tickets we're going to have to win
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: this weekend.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a bunch. I had a really good
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: night last night.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Cashed five tickets for tonight's Millie Maker and then a
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: couple more $ 100 Millie Maker tickets for the weekend. I'm
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: up to eight now in like the last week. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: should have started chasing $ 100 Millie Maker tickets a lot sooner,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: but Eight in a week isn't that bad for the investment. So, hey,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: maybe I turn one of those into five figures, six figures,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: even a million bucks, right?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So that should be nice there. But, yeah, tonight's slate.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Is headlined by Yamamoto.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And then it's probably a mix of Henderson, Jake Bennett, Will.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Warren, something like that in terms of what the projections
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: shake out. And then it's Arizona chalk again, second night
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: in a row. with some Boston and then maybe a
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: little Yankees, but Yankees are kind of expensive there. So
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: that's kind of the broad slate overview here, G. Rising,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: in terms of the dry run. How do you feel
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: in terms of pitchers here?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: We'll go 8K and above.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez all the way up at the top at 11.5
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: gets a face.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Houston, where obviously.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: They're loaded with right-handed hitters outside of Jordan and maybe
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: if Trammell gets a start, something like that.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Nonetheless, Primarily right-handed. Sanchez coming off an absolutely gem. Talk
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Are you getting all the way up him? Yamamoto, $ 500
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: less than him. Does feel like the SP1 on the slate.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I'm going to probably be shoving in on all the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Yamamoto I can have. That's not a contrarian take by
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: any means. Then you got Henderson, $ 1, 000 less than Yamamoto,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: who's had an absolutely incredible season that doesn't get talked
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: about enough. Hunter Brown, you got Jake Bennett down at
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the bottom at 8,300. I think he looks pretty good.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: So talk to me in this top tier. I think
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of arms are very much in play. And ideally,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I probably want two of these guys outside of maybe
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a Will Warren down low, but he's going to be
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: pretty popular as well down there.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: So talk to me. How do you see this top
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: tier here?
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm agreeing with Yamamoto. I think he's the guy
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: that is my SP1. I mean, he's had four games
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: in a row with eight Ks. I like where his
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: pitch count's been. He's been right around 100 pitches this
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: last handful of starts, too. So, you know, that's something
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I always worry about with a Dodgers team. Seems like
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: they always seem pretty easy to pull their– starters out
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: but you know just looking at the k's that we
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: got in this reds lineup you know ellie's at almost
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: 28 stevenson 29 eugenio 33 mclean 30 i mean we
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: got four heavy strikeout bats and then we got uh
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: four or five bets that are right around the low
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: 20 percent range so plenty of strikeout capability for yamamoto
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: uh i think the one thing though that uh You know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: he's got a mid 50% ground ball lean. So I
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: do like Yamamoto, especially at his price on both sites.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I think he'd be my favorite, especially on FanDuel. So
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: then you look at Sanchez and Henderson. I mean, there
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: is a $ 1, 500 price difference on DK. When you just
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: look at them, I really think they're pretty similar pitchers
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: to me in a sense. The only thing different that
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I will say is As far as defense pitchers say,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I'll say they're pretty similar. But as far as overall skills,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I think Sanchez obviously has a better ground balling. Henderson,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: more of a fly ball type pitcher. So, I mean,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Henderson for me, though, at that $ 1, 500 discount, I think
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: that's enough of the differentiation for me there to be
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: happy with Henderson. So I'd put him ahead of Sanchez.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: But in reality, I think they're pretty much for me
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: right there on the same level. But just because of
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: the $ 1, 500 discount, I think I would prefer Henderson. But
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Henderson and Sanchez for me would be on the same level.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Hunter Brown actually has been looking pretty good here in
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: recent times. I mean, you got– obviously we have the
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Schwarber and Harpers of the world that we need to
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: worry about. But Brown's looked pretty good his last couple starts.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: So I think Brown is definitely in play for me.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: The only thing I do worry about is his control issues.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I think that's something that– has just been hindering this
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: guy for quite some time. But I definitely have him
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: in my pool as a pivot off of those three
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: that we just discussed. Foster Griffin, I mean, man, I
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: really want to like Foster Griffin, especially against the Orioles,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: who strike out the most against lefties. So I think
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: this is more of a GPP-type play to where, I mean,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: he hasn't had it his last few starts. He hasn't
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: looked good at all, especially as far as strikeouts he's
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: been at. 3, 4, 4, 6, 3. I mean, his
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: pitch count's been there right around mid-90s to 100. So
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I do like that. But just banking on the fact
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: that it's the Orioles who do strike out the most,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: as I mentioned, against lefties, I think that's definitely something
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: that I'm interested in. But I do fear, though, that
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Griffin– You know, he's just been so worrisome here lately
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: just because he hasn't had the strikeouts. But, I mean, again,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: that's more of a GPP-type play. I think Gossman against Milwaukee,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I think that's kind of interesting. There are some strikeouts
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: in the Milwaukee lineup. But I'll say, like, right off
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: the bat, like, Gossman, Bennett, in Brown, I think are
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: all pretty similar to me in the same sense of,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: you know, I can't argue with anybody. And I think
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: if you ask five different people, you get five different
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: rankings on them. I think Bennett's interesting against the Angels.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: The only thing that does worry me about Bennett a
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: little bit has been his pitch count lately. Hasn't really
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: been there, but he's been getting a strikeout, 7-7, 6-6.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I think that is something there that I do like.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: But the pitch count does concern me a little bit,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: which drops him down. If he was in the 100 range,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I'd have him ahead of Gossman and I'd have him
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: ahead of Brown. But because of that, I'm going to
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: drop him down into the same bucket. So Griffin, I'm
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: not really, you know, a fan of. I'd put him
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: a little bit below Gossman and Brown, but I do
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: think I'd still leave him in play just because of
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: the matchup against the Baltimore that he's got. So for me,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, Yamamoto would be top. Then I'd probably have Henderson,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: even though he is more of a fly ball lean
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: than Sanchez. I have those two pretty close, but that $ 1, 500
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: discount is good enough for me. And then I think
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Brown is interesting. Bennett's interesting. Gossman. So I think you
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: got a handful of options. I think Yamamoto will be
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: the SP1, but I don't mind a pivot to Henderson,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: or I don't mind even going like a Brown and
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: a Henderson. I think there's some options today. I don't
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: think you're going to have to, you're going to see
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: too chalky of a pairing today, but definitely interesting. I
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: think there's a few options for us. I think Foster
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Griffin is the guy. If he'd be more on point
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: here in recent times, With the strikeouts, I think he'd
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: be a guy that I'd really like with that matchup.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: It's just he hasn't been a recent form, Nate. So
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I think that to me is just bumps him back
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: a little bit from them three guys I mentioned. But
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I think there's six or seven options we can use tonight.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: But the safest and highest upside option for me is Yamamoto. But,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: you know, down below, you know, guys like Brown, Gossman, Bennett,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I think should all be in play. And I think anybody,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, you could look at the preference, but with
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of options here today, which, which is good.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: We haven't seen that that much here so far, you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: in recent times.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do like it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yamamoto number one for me, Henderson is too, but I
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: do think the spend up to be contrarian Sanchez is
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: really interesting. I like all three of those guys up
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: at the top. I do rank them Yamamoto, Henderson, Sanchez,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: just because Henderson's $ 1, 500.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Cheaper than Sanchez. So it's hard for me to put
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Sanchez first.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Over him and I do want all the Yamamoto I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: can get just like everybody else does I mean his
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: projections off the chart this is one of the best
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: matchups in baseball for strikeouts he's got a seven and
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a half k prop juicy over there so everything checks
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: out for me I don't really like Gaussman because I
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: like Griffin and Bennett more than him and he's sandwiched
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: between the two ownership's going to be kind of spread
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: out amongst all three of those so if that's the
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: case just give me Bennett first then Griffin and um,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: is kind of the other two guys up here. I like,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not really messing with Hunter Brown. Um, I don't
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: love Kevin Gosman either, just with all the lefties that
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee can throw out against him.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: So I don't love that.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: And then it's just dropping down cheap, but ideally I
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: want two of Bennett, uh, Bennett, Henderson, Yamamoto, Sanchez, and then, um, Griffin,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: two of those guys to anchor my teams.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: When we do jump cheap here below AKG.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Rising, um, Will Warren stands out as kind of the
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: popular cheap guy that everyone wants to go to. This
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: guy's been miserable. I know it's against the Rockies, but
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the Rockies aren't. They still at least have a pulse.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: They have a pretty solid lineup here going tonight. The
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Goodmans in there. They got McCarthy, Kerrig, Rumfield, Moniak. Sullivan's
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: been hitting pretty decent. Zach Veen's in there. So it's
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a pretty damn good lineup for Colorado here. So I
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: don't love Will Warren into ownership because I do think
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: he is the favorite guy that people are punting with.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I'd rather mess with Davis Martin personally if I'm going
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: cheap and just taking a shot at Davis Martin against Pittsburgh.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I know it didn't work out last night, but we've
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: seen this how many times, G. Rison, where Pittsburgh slams
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: a chalk pitcher and Sean Burke yesterday comes back. They
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: scored what, 10 plus runs or whatever they scored last night.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: They come back today and get the other end of
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the stick, right, where Davis Martin goes out there and
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: actually throws a decent game. He's 6,700. He's going to
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: get some ownership, but not to the extent of Will Warren.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: So if I'm punting, I do think he's my favorite guy.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I don't really want to mess with anyone else down here.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you wanted to mess with a Robert
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Stock at 5,800 pitching in Miami, I think you could,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: but I don't love it. Ideally, I say all that
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: to say my pitching pool is going to be headlined
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: with two of the five guys that I mentioned up
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: at the top. You could even throw Gosman as the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: sixth guy there if you wanted to and just avoid
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: this top tier.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Or this value tier in altogether. But what do you
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: see down here besides.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Will Warren and Davis Martin, which are kind of the
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: clear-cut two value options on this slate?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I don't think I really like anybody here in this
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: cheaper tier here. I mean, I'm not a fan of
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Will Warren at all. I mean, he gets beat up
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: by lefties quite a bit. The Rockies got a handful
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: of lefties that definitely can get to him. So, Uh,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not, uh, I'm not really, I think that's a
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: guy that I would probably just avoid to be honest
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: with you. I just, I haven't been a fan of
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: the way he's been pitching recently. I think Baz maybe
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: would be a guy to look at. I just don't
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: like the, uh, that Cleveland lineup and what they're bringing
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: to the table as far as any kind of power.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not really too worried about that lineup. Baz, I mean,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: can throw out a decent strikeout game here and there. So,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, if I was going to get cheap, I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: think he'd probably be my favorite one that I'd look at.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Davis Martin, I mean, he came back off the IL.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: He went 5.2 innings decent, but he only had three Ks.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: His strikeout percentage has kind of been down a little bit.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I guess I could stomach it. But I think I'd
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: just rather have Baz. I just really don't like any
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: of these guys below. I think there's enough options up top.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: especially with some decent uh arms up there that you
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: can use as we mentioned that are below 9k and
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: below I think there's three guys you could use so
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: there's plenty of ways to uh to get a little
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: bit different at pitching I don't really see the need
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: if you wanted to go up to Sanchez like to
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: me to like play a Sanchez and like a Baz
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: combo or something like that I mean I think I
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: would rather just play a couple of these 8k guys
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: that have better matchups for me but Yeah, I mean,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I don't really like it, but Baz would probably be
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: my favorite. I'm not, man. It seems like we've been
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: picking on Will Warren a little bit. Now, if we
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: were looking at a team that didn't really have hardly
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: any lefty power, I wasn't really that concerned at all
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: with the lefties they were running out, then I think
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: You know, I'd bump Warren up a little bit, but
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: I still don't think I'd have him in my pool.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's just the kind of guy, like, in
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: the first two or three innings, Nades, if he gives up, like,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: four runs, you're going to be like, son of a bitch,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I fucking knew it. Like, why did I even play
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: that bum? You know, like, that's that guy. So I
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: don't even want to play him because it's just too
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: frustrating when he sucks because I already know he sucks.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I do like a call on Shane Bass.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I think he's fine, but I actually probably just prefer
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: going down cheap. I think Robert Stock is– playable at 5,800,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: if you need the salary savings. And then Davis Martin for,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: for all the reasons I alluded to earlier Davis Martin
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: does have a four and a half K properties due
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to the over stock and Boz both have four and
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a half K props, just the owner there. So if
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: you wanted to use that as a tiebreaker there, I
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: think it's interesting, but ideally you want to spend up
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: at pitching here. There's enough bats to be able to
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: do that and to be able to make it work.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: So Yamamoto is definitely my clear cut favorite. Yamamoto Bennett
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: is probably my, preferred if I can't get Henderson or
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Sanchez as the other guy. Last night, my best team
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: did double spend at pitcher, so I'm probably going to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: try and do that again here tonight as other people
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: try and make these cheap guys work to spend up
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: for bats. I can leave off a stud in the
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: stack and play the back half there and just hope
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: that they reap the benefits too and maybe pick up
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: a stolen base or two or something like that. We're
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: pretty in lockstep there in terms of The pitching, first
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: game from a hitting perspective here is the Guardians and
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the O's. Foster Griffin on the mound, Shane Baz on
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the mound. The O's, you're going to get some leverage
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: off Foster Griffin. I don't think it's enough to really
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: worry about it. I'd much rather just play Foster Griffin.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: The O's have tons of strikeouts, as you see here,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: against left-handed pitching. That's why I think Foster Griffin's super
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: interesting in tournaments here. But Pete Alonzo and Kobe Mayo
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: and Encarnacio Strand, those three make a ton of sense.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: as a three-man sack there. Guardians, Baz up and down,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: more good than bad. I don't love this game for
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: offense here. How do you see this one, though?
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really like it for offense either. I mean,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: overall in the slate, Nate, we got a handful of
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: teams I just wanted to double-check. I mean, we got
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: eight teams with a four-and-a-half team total higher on this
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: 10-game slate, so definitely some offense to be had out there.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: It's just not with these two.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I don't, I haven't been playing the Indians at all this,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: this whole season, really. So I'm not gonna, not gonna
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: go there. And I'm not really in the mindset to
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: pick on Foster Griffin. Like you said, we're not getting
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: enough leverage there. So I don't even really like any
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: one-offs in this one. So I think we can, we
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: can feel pretty, uh, pretty, pretty happy about skipping this
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: one over.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Tend to agree.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I see more of the same here. Sanchez Brown on
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the mound, Hunter Brown coming back, um, You can always
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: play Schwarber, Harper, Stottsman, Decent, Marsh. I don't love this
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: game either for DFS perspective. Sanchez, don't want to pick
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: on him. Hunter Brown's a good enough real-life arm. Don't
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: really want to pick on him, even with a powerful offense.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Would not be shocked.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: You still do have that bad Houston bullpen.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: But all things considered, and this is another game that
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I don't love for offense, but anything here you see.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe like a Schwarber if you wanted to swap out
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: a heavy bat just because, I mean, Brown hasn't been
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: the greatest. His walk percentage the last 30 days has
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: been at 15.5%. And he's been getting barreled up at
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: almost 10%. His fly ball rate is at almost 29.5%. So, dude,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Schwarber can hit anybody. So, we know that. I mean,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: maybe Schwarber, that would be maybe a one-off guy if
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: you wanted to swap somebody out that, you know, you
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: like in a heavier stack. But, yeah, I don't mind that.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I tend to agree there.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Mets, Marlins, Jansen Junk on the mound, Robert Stock, two
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: pitchers that are kind of not great, but Stock I
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: think is playable just because he's 5,800 facing the Marlins
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: in Miami here. Offense-wise, I think you could play some
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Mets here and the Marlins. I think you can play
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: both sides of this one. As our guy Bellman would say,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: a nice three-pronger here. No junk interest for me. So stock, Marlins, Mets.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: If I had to pick a side, it'd be more
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: so on the Mets side because, number one, they're low-owned.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Number two, junk can get absolutely wild at times. and
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: he can get hit kind of hard. So Lindor, Juan
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Soto being back in this lineup does help it a lot.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Benj, Ewing, Beatty. I think there's some playable pieces here
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: from the Mets.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Not a top stack by any means, but I do
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: think they're decent enough to at least mention them here
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: on this slate.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: What do you see here?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I see this game, Nate. Now, let's be honest.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: If this game was a football game, this would be
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: the Thursday night game because nobody would want to watch
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: this bullshit. So, but for me, I mean, even the
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Mets fans ain't going to watch this game, but for me,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you could pick on, you could definitely
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: pick on junk. I mean, he hasn't been very good,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: especially recent times to especially lefty. So I think he'd be,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: you know, somebody that, you know, we could pick on
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: with like a Juan Soto, maybe a Carson bench. Maybe
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I look at like Lindor, maybe some of the lefties there. So,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: I don't mind that. I mean, that would be, you know,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: if I'm playing three teams, they're not even probably coming
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: close to my pool. But I don't mind it. But,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, man, like the TV viewing on this one
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: is probably even going to be about the worst I've seen. But, yeah,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: like I said, thank God this ain't football because they'd
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: make us watch this shit on Thursday night, Nades.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I do want to call it grand poly. This guy's
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: been hitting bombs against righties. Stock gives it up to
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: the left side. um, with, with some fly balls and
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: definitely gets barreled up, uh, a little bit too. So grandpa,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I think makes some sense as a cheap one-off at
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: third base, which is a pretty weak position there. So
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: if you need a salary saver at a, at a
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: bad position, I think he makes, makes some sense. Um,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: but yeah, we tend to agree there. Next spot, angels,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: red Sox, Jake Bennett, one of our top arms on
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the slate. He is ranked number one for our rankings
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: over here at ship and nation facing the angels.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: You can always play a trout and a netto.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Um, that's, about where I'd stop against lefties with, with
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: this lineup here, Jose Siri. Um, if you don't hit
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: a home run in his first at batter to, um, you're,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you're looking at a goose egg because he's going to
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: get pinch hit for red socks. I think are more
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: interesting here against Ryan Johnson and this angels bullpen Roman Anthony,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Mickey Gasper.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Who's been incredible.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: A Bray you issue for me is the price points.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: They're super expensive. Um, that's the only downside I can
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: say during at the back half makes it a But
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I do think the top three are super interesting here.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Hard to see Mickey Gasper sitting at 4K staring at
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: you in the face, but this dude's been really good.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Ryan Johnson is atrocious against lefties. I think the Red
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Sox have a lot of upside on this slate and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: pretty low ownership.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: What do you see here?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we could pick out Ryan Johnson. I
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: do really like the Red Sox here. Roman Anthony, you
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: mentioned Gasper, Abreu, who I think this lineup against Johnson
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: is really good shape. I do want to pick on
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: this Angel bullpen as well. So Red Sox for me,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: somebody I'm definitely looking at. You know, I'm sitting there.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I was like this looking into Ryan Johnson a little bit,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: seeing his recent form. I mean, he's actually been pretty
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: good in his recent times. as far as giving up
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: earned runs. But I mean, then you kind of just look,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I'm like, man, it's his K percentages are low, especially
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: the left side. It's at like 16 and a half percent.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: He's been walking lefties. I mean, it's just, it's, it's
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: his ground ball percentage to the right side is fairly low. So,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: you know, it's just like, man, this guy's due just
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: to get the pummel. And I think it's pretty good
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: spot for that to happen here. So, Johnson's been right
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: around mid-80 pitches, but yeah, I think the lefties here
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: for the Red Sox are really interesting. Be one of
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: my top favorite stacks. They're definitely my top five today.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely in my top five, I do probably have
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: the Yankees and the Dodgers ahead of them. Maybe some
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Royals or White Sox, something like that. I keep falling
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: on this White Sox fucking train, but I do think
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: they're definitely in play for sure. Roman Anthony, by far
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: my favorite guy from the stack here, then Mickey Gasper.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Overall. Takes us to the Yankees. Will Warren, Sugano. I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: think the Rockies are pretty sneaky here.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: We talked about Will Warren commanding a pretty hefty amount
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: of ownership here as a cheap guy. Historically, he's not
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: good against lefties. Zach Veen, I think, is a very
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: interesting Sullivan. And then you wrap it around to the
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: top and McCarthy, Kerrig, Rumfield, Goodman, Moniak even.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Rockies make some sense here.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: As a super contrarian unknown stack with a lot of
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: upside on a slate where projections are probably going to
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: drive majority of the teams with a lot of double duty, right?
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: People building baseball teams and NFL going on tonight. So
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I do think the Rockies make some sense here because
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: I just don't think anybody can get to them projections wise.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Will Warren projects way better. People just aren't going to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: play the Rockies.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: And on this kind of slate in this hitting environment
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: in Yankee stadium with the wind blowing out to left
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: field at about 16 miles an hour, I think it
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: makes some sense. So I don't mind some Rockies here.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: And then on the other side, Yankees, you have to
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: love the Yankees. Sagano is atrocious against lefties. Spencer Jones, Garcia, Rice, Bellinger, Wells, McMahon,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: all of these guys look really good. The guy I'd
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: actually have the least amount of interest in is Aaron Judge,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: and he's 6K. So if I'm stacking the Yankees, most
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Yankee stacks are going to have Aaron Judge in there.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I think I'd just rather leave Aaron Judge out, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I'd rather.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Probably even play like a George Lombard as a righty
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: in there for a lot cheaper. I know it's a
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: different position there and play Ballinger, play Spencer Jones, and
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: then play maybe a different contrarian spend up outfielder like
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: a Jordan Alvarez or an Otani or something like that
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: is kind of how I'm approaching it there.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: But Yankees one through nine look really good.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: They're my top overall stack on the slate here against
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Sagato and ownership wise has the Red Sox much higher
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: than them because they're A little bit more affordable, I think.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: And they're facing the Angels, right? So talk to me here.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: How do you see the Yankees on this one?
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Yankees definitely a top stack. Probably going to
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: be the most owned, I would assume. So Gano blows,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: as we know. He's not missing any bats with those
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: incredibly low strikeout percentages. He's more of a fly balling,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: especially the last 30 days overall season. He's like mid
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: 30 percent. And you can't be throwing fly balls to
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: these Yankees and not missing bats and expect to have
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: that great of an outcome. So, I mean, I see
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: what you're saying about not including Judge just because he's
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: coming back. But, you know, to pay that kind of
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: salary for him. And, I mean, even if you had
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: a lineup without him, I mean, you got a ton
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: of power, especially with them lefties, Rice, Bellinger, Alec Garcia,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Spencer Jones, McMahon, Wells. I mean, I think all of
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: those guys are definitely in play. I mean, you know,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: like if you wanted to throw in Judge and, you know,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: you sacrifice and go down to a, you know, a
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: cheaper pitcher, maybe you went from, you know, like a–
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: You know, like we talked about it, but maybe you
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: went from a Logan Henderson down to a Bennett. Maybe,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: you know, you wanted to do something like that if
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: you want to throw him in. And I don't mind
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: throwing Schwarber in there instead of an Aaron Judge. I
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: think I'd rather have a Schwarber than like a Judge
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: maybe in your Yankee stack and go with some of
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: the cheaper players. Cheaper Yankees. But as far as the
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Rockies go, yeah, I definitely want some of the, you know,
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: I don't mind this as a game stack, actually. Will Warren,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: like I said, the lefty's been getting at him here. Rumfield,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: I think, is interesting. He's been smashing righties all year long.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Moniacs definitely got some power. Sullivan and Veen at the
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: bottom of that lineup are some cheap bats you can
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: throw in there if you wanted to have a type,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: you know, a cheaper mini stack if you wanted to
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: include with your Yankees instead of like a Wells. you know,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: I think you can, you know, go something like that.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think this game is definitely interesting from
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: an offensive standpoint. Yankees are going to be highly owned.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: And then obviously the Rockies are not like, it seems
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: like that's the case with the Rockies in most occasions,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I think we can pick on Will Warren.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, it seems like we've been doing, Will Warren
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: has not been very good recent times. So I think,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I think the Yankees though are going to be, are
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: going to be the chalkier team of the, uh, the
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: slate tonight. And I think it's kind of going to
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: be how you play them too. So if you want
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: to get overly owned on them, you know, maybe mixed,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: you know, taking out a rice, maybe taking out a,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, an Aaron judge, I doubt you'll be able
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: to probably make a lineup with both the minute without
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: really sacrificing that pitcher, but yeah, definitely, uh, some power
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: to be had with a guy who ain't missing any
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: damn bats.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love both sides of this game for sure.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Definitely Yankees, but I think there's enough of, um, enough
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: ownership that's going to spread between them, the Red Sox,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: and the Dodgers that I think doesn't really matter which
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: ones you go in, that I think it's going to
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: spread out enough. It's not like one's clear cut ahead
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: of the rest or something like that. They're all going
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: to kind of be similar. So that does put the
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Yankees number one for me. And, yeah, I think no
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: one's going to play the Rockies, so I'll gladly play
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: some Rockies here. Next one, Ronaldo Lopez, Griffin Jacks.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Rays, I think, have some interest against Lopez. I just
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: hate the bullpen.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Lopez is a decent enough real-life arm.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: This is a game that I'm kind.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Of passing all together from offense-wise.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Two pretty solid teams here overall.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I just hope this game's like 3-2, something like that,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: that you don't really need it and doesn't really kill
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: you if you don't have anything from it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: So how do you see this one, though, in Truist here?
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, if you want to go with some
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: lefties on the Braves, I don't mind that. Griffin Jacks
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: doesn't look very good against lefties. He's got a. 456 Woba.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: In his last 30 days, kind of a smaller type
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: sample size. But, I mean, mostly a ground ball type pitcher.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Does give up a little bit more fly balls over
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the season to the right side. But he's just been
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: getting beat up by lefties. So, I mean, maybe, you know, Baldwin, Olsen,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Harris would be somewhere. Maybe Albies would be somewhere I look.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: I don't really love it, but I wouldn't discount it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I tend to agree. Next spot on the slate here, Royals, D-backs.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: This is definitely an interesting slate. D-backs are going to
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: be super chalk again here.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: They were right up.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: There with like the highest on stack yesterday. I think
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: it's going to be much more of the same because
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: look at their salaries. I mean, they're dirt cheap facing
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: a pretty shitty lefty in Daniel Lynch. So, I mean,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: you got cheap guys, Tim Tawa, who's been hitting well.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: He's 2,900. I think he makes some sense. Arenado, James
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: McCann has been decent. Lawler. I mean, these guys, these
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: cheap righties, I think, make a lot of sense. Lourdes Gurriel.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: There's some pinch hit risk with these guys, but you
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: got a horrible bullpen here. Really good weather again in
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Kansas City, like it has been pretty much the last
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: week and a half, two weeks or so. However, the
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: wind is blowing in here and it's only 70, 80 degrees.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: It's not 100 plus like it has been. But talk
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: to me here. Any interest in this one? I think
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: the Royals have a lot of interest from me against
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Soroka here. I'm not so much interested in the D-backs,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: but I do think they make a lot of sense
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: as more fillers, like a Tawa-Giriel mini stack or like
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: a Tawa-Arenado, something like that as fillers off of my main.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Stack, fill in some of those off positions.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe you play Ben Rice at catcher and then you
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: play Tawa at first base to save some salary there
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: instead of Garcia or something like that, right? There's a
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: bunch of different ways you can slice it up, but
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I do think The Royals have a lot of my
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: interest here in this one. Overall, how do you see
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: this one?
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: You know, the Royals, I'd be really interested if it
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: was this, you know, Zach Gallen start instead of Soroka
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: coming back out here. But, I mean, I love picking
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: on Zach Gallen. But for me, I mean, Soroka, I mean,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: he's not really all that good. He's got a really
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: low K percentage against lefties. I think they can get
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: after him here. So, you know, I just don't really
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: like the overall power that the Royals are bringing. But Jensen... Vinny,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: I think you could have him play Massey. But I
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: don't overly love it as far as Arizona goes against
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Kansas City in that terrible bullpen. I mean, I could
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: see why everybody's liking that. Daniel Lynch isn't anybody we're
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: really too concerned of. But, yeah, Lawler, Tawa, Walsh, McCann.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: I think all these guys definitely play Marino, Marte, Perdomo.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, the lineup's pretty good. Yeah. I was, you know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: looking at it, Nate, trying to put up my stacks.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: I think I got the White Sox a little bit
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: higher than the D-backs, but they're pretty close up there
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: for me in my top of my ranks today. So, but, yeah,
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: I do have the Red Sox higher than them. But, yeah,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: for me, definitely in play. I think if I have
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: three teams, I probably have a little piece of some
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: D-backs here, especially that Royals bullpen just stinks.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do like Gary Allen, Tawa Lawler.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: McCann, that kind of back half are not a four, five, six, seven,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: eight looks pretty good overall. And then you leave some
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: of the guys who majority of the people are going
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: to play in Vargas and Marte Perdomo off of that.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I do think that makes a lot of sense. And
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: then Jensen, Pasquantino, Massey look really good as well. John
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Ravies and has shown some power Isbell. So I do
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: like this game for offense at ownership. I prefer the
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Casey side, but I think the value is pretty nice.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: On some of those guys from Arizona for sure. Next
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: spot here. White Sox were pretty hurtful last night. I'm
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: going to go back to them.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Anytime they face a righty and a pretty weak righty
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: at that, I'm going to have some interest in them,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: especially when they're not picking up ownership like tonight is
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: the case again.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Sign me up. Rinse and repeat. White Sox. I love
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: the lefties here overall. Grichuk. I'm not sure why Randall
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Grichuk is starting against.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: A righty here, hitting fourth. But if that's the case,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: he's probably pinch hit free in this one. but Antonasi
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Bennett and with Ben attendee starting as well, that helps
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Ben attendee's pinch hit risk. So I love Ben attendee
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: here hitting to Antonasi, Ben attendee, Murakami all look really good.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Both the Montgomery's look good. Tristan Peters. And then even
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Kyle Teal at the back half hit a bomb yesterday.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going right back to him. I like the wraparound here.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: The nine, one, two, three looks really nine, one, two, three, five,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: something like that looks really good or seven, nine, one, two, three,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: something like that looks really good here for me from
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: the white socks pirates and, Could play the lefties against
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Davis Martin, Brandon Lowe, O'Neal Cruz, Horowitz, Flores, Gonzalez. These guys,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: they got the job done yesterday. I'm not going to
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: chase it personally myself. I much prefer the White Sox
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: side here in this one. But how do you see
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: this game?
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't mind both sides, but I do like
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: the White Sox a little bit more. I mean, especially
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: those lefties. I mean, Murakami, Montgomery, Benetendi, Antonucci. That's where
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I'd be looking. I mean, it's going to be pretty
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: much bullpen game.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: So I.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Think the White Sox are definitely playing, especially after, like
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: you mentioned, they disappointed yesterday. So like I said, I
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: do have them pretty close to the same bucket as
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: the D-backs, as we just discussed. Now, as far as
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh goes, man, Lau, I think is interesting. O'Neal Cruz.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Brian Reynolds I think would be interesting. I think those
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: are the plays I would use. More like mini stacks,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: I think, is where I'd want to lie. But, I mean,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Davis Martin coming back off the I.L. I mean, I
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: think we could pick on him a little bit here.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: But I do really like the White Sox side. Like
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I said, I'd have the White Sox up there in
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: my top five today.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that one. Next game, Cubs, Brewers, Gosman, Henderson, too.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Good enough for Real Life Arms. Both really good offenses here.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Cubs really good. Obviously Brewers not so great for DFS,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: but a really good offense nonetheless.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Churrio's been red hot. I think he's interesting. Terang projected
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: to be moved down in the lineup here.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: But you want the lefties against Gaussman. Henderson you don't
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: really want anyone against. But PCA has been red hot.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: His price is coming down. 6,800 still up there for him.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: He's stealing, though, every chance he gets. So if he
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: gets a walk, I mean, you're looking at seven points
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: right there. because he's going to steal second, maybe even
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: steal third. So he's got a ton of upside. I
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: think he makes a really interesting one-off on the slate.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: But I don't love really either side of this game
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: for stacking. Two good enough arms. I think there's much
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: better spots on the slate to attack here. Gosman's actually
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: been pretty decent overall the course of the year. And
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: he's actually shown more reverse splits. He's getting hit harder
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: from the right side. So I think Churrio definitely makes
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: some sense. Contreras, Ortiz. Those three guys from the righties
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: make some sense. But I'm not really full stacking either
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: side of this game.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: How do you see it, though? Yeah, I'm not either.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Game total seven and a half. I mean, you mentioned PCA.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's another guy that's in the same boat
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: as Schwarber. I mean, Henderson gives up quite a few
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: fly balls, especially the last 30 days. He's been giving
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: up more of a fly ball. I mean, he's at
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: a 43 percent fly ball rate the last 30 days
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: and 69 playing appearances.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: That's pretty high. I mean, we know PCA, the type
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: season he's having, you know, he's going to steal some bags.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: I actually kind of like him better than Schwarber in
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: this position here. So I think he'd be a guy like,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: you know, swap out for Aaron judge, build some Yankees
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: around him or, you know, something like that. He's not
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: going to be owned. So, I mean, if he's, I mean,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: this dude could definitely win some MVP. So I think,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: you know, this ride with one of the hot hands,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: you're going to get them at pretty much no ownership.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Or if you like a Dodger stack, maybe swap out
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Otani that salary or, you know, go around those lines somewhere.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think a PCA is definitely interesting.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Another guy I want to mention it or two guys
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Conforto and Pedro Ramirez, right. Ramirez has been hitting the
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: ball pretty well as of late.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: He's pretty cheap. Phil's pretty shitty position.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Conforto has a bunch of power there, especially against righties
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: hits the ball in the air as well.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: And PCA.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: So you got nice, a nice little seven, eight, one stack,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: something like that as a mini stack is the Cubs
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: did line up.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Just did come out. So don't think it's the craziest
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: place in the world there.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Um, not that I'm signing up to pick on Henderson,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: but that little contrarian little mini stack, if my team's
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: pretty chalky, I do think that's, uh, makes, makes some sense.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: So I actually have probably more interest in, in some
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: of the Cubs hitters than I do that. The Brewers
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: hitters shock, shocking as that sounds, but, um, I just
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: attacking some of the fly balls and picking off some
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: home runs. And I just like to add it upside in, um,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: All three of those guys will steal for sure. Definitely, obviously,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: PCA will for sure. Last game on the slate is
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: a full three hours almost after the rest of the slate.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: So if you play this game, I mean, you're kind
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: of stuck with whatever you have left. Dodgers do look
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: like the best overall stack right up there next to
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: the Yankees and the Red Sox.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: You probably get the Dodgers.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Lower on than both of them just because we probably
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: don't have their lineup before the lock for sure. I
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: love the Dodgers here. I think they're a great spot here.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not a Rhett louder guy. I think he sucks.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Reds bullpen is trash behind him.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Sign me up. Love the, love the Dodgers. No interest
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: really in the Reds outside of Ellie day of the cruise.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: I think he's another elite spend up to be contrarian
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: against probably a guy who's 60% owned on this slate. Um,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Blede would fit that same build. And Hector Rodriguez, just
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: the lefty power. But I don't really love it. Yamamoto
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: limits power anyways. Dodgers are busting this one. All things
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: on L.A.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: For me.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Dodgers definitely interesting. Rhett Lauder has not been good
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: against lefties. Walk percentage at 11.5 for the season. K
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: percentage only at 18%. Getting barreled up at 11.7% by lefties. So,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, he gives up fly balls too. He's at
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: a 37% fly ball rate to lefties. I mean, yeah, Otani, Freeman, Muncy, Edmund, Tucker.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: I think Tucker's the only one I wouldn't place. He's
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: like Kyle Tucker's like, I don't know, he's lost or something.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: I saw a video the other day, Otani was trying
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: to talk to him or something on an iPad and
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: they were going over something. He looked at Otani like
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: he was a freaking Martian. Like, dude, he's like the
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: best player in the damn world. Like, why didn't you
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: listen to that guy? You can't hit a fucking beach
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: ball in recent times. Like, dude, listen to the guy.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: But either way, I think the Dodgers are all in play.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker, for me, like I said, probably be the
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: only one I'd avoid.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: I ain't going there.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I was just looking at Reds do have a couple
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: lefties in there. It looks like one's going to be
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: available for sure in Brock Burke. He hasn't pitched in
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: two days. He's not a very good lefty, but he's
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: at least a lefty. So there is some pinch hit
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: risk in this lineup there from, Some of these guys
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: in here, probably Alex Freeland would be the biggest guy.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: If he makes that start, maybe Kyle Tucker a little bit,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: but really Freeland's the main pinch hit risk. So just
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: be worried about, because optimizers are going to slam him
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: in at 2,200. I would just be cognizant of how
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: much Alex Freeland I actually get in my build if
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: you're MMEing this one.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's all 10 games.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: It does lock about 40 minutes earlier than normal, so
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: make sure you pay attention to that.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: But G-Rod's a End of the show, your top three hitters,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: top three stacks, and a home run call.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Ooh, top three hitters. We haven't done that one before.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: I'd say top three hitters.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Top three stacks.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Sorry, top three stacks, top three pitchers.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: All right, all right. I mean, you threw me for
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: a little curveball there, but top three pitchers, I'm going
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: to go Yamamoto, Henderson. I mean, it'd be too easy
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: to say Sanchez. I actually like Brown a little bit
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: more than most, so I think I would go there.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: And stacks, I'm going to say Yankees, who will be
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: pretty chalky. I'm going to say some Dodgers. And then
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: I think I'm going to say White Sox, Red Sox,
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: D-backs are probably where I'm at. And as far as
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: a home run call, I'm going to try to say
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: be a little bit different today. And you know what?
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: I am going to say PCA is going to hit
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: a bomb off Logan Henderson. All right.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: For me, pitchers, I'm going to go Yamamoto, Henderson, and
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: then I'll go Jake Bennett, Sanchez, number four, Foster Griffin, five.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: So kind of those main five there. Stacks for me,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going Dodgers, Yankees. And then I will not going
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: to go Red Sox like everyone else is going to go.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: I will actually say the Rockies. I think the Rockies
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: are pretty interesting. And then the White Sox.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: As well in the Royals.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of my five for five there. I'm
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: both of those terms of a home run call here.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go to the white socks and I'm
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: going to go to a guy hitting second. Now probably
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: pinch hit risk three, Andrew Ben attendee up in the
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: two hole 3,500.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I think he gets one here tonight. That's going to
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: do it.
