- 0:16Speaker 1: You gotta slip in your palm. Man, a hole in
- 0:19Speaker 1: your chicks. Black coffee on the felt. Man, you look
- 0:23Speaker 1: like a ment three teen Parlette turned the dust in
- 0:28Speaker 1: your head.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Now you stare at the chips like they made you
- 0:32Speaker 2: this man. But don't you go quiet.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Don't you fade from the floor. Your name, steal me
- 0:38Speaker 1: something on somebody for show. Put the glass down, baby,
- 0:45Speaker 1: look at me.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Now, hold on, hold on, nothing nice, now, hold on,
- 1:00Speaker 3: hold on and me, but it don't get the crown.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on and.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Stay with me.
- 1:19Speaker 5: Now, what's up, everybody? It's towed back with you with
- 1:30Speaker 5: toad Stool Sports. It is Wednesday, May twentieth, two and
- 1:36Speaker 5: zero on the show yesterday. We're now eighty seven thirty
- 1:40Speaker 5: seven and five the last forty six days.
- 1:43Speaker 2: It's not gonna last. Man, I'm telling you we had
- 1:47Speaker 2: both plays right.
- 1:48Speaker 5: Yesterday Cincinnati Red's first five innings, they were winning two
- 1:51Speaker 5: to one. They actually won the game outright full game
- 1:55Speaker 5: as well, four to one or something like that. Milwaukee
- 1:58Speaker 5: and Cubs just got in under the total. It was
- 2:01Speaker 5: a three to nothing Milwaukee lead early in the game,
- 2:05Speaker 5: which wasn't looking great. But then the offense has died,
- 2:08Speaker 5: and then it was I think it was still three
- 2:09Speaker 5: to nothing. Pretty late in the game, it was like
- 2:12Speaker 5: three to one. I'm like, all right, this is looking
- 2:15Speaker 5: pretty good. And then I think Milwaukee put up two
- 2:17Speaker 5: more runs, maybe in the eighth, thenning, and then all
- 2:19Speaker 5: of a sudden, it's five to one. Then the Cubs
- 2:21Speaker 5: score a run and it's five to two. But luckily,
- 2:24Speaker 5: I think that meant Milwaukee probably brought their closer in
- 2:27Speaker 5: to shut shut it down, and it wound up five
- 2:31Speaker 5: to two. So we did get the under eight correct.
- 2:34Speaker 5: And yeah, that was how yesterday went. We'll move on
- 2:37Speaker 5: to today. I'm still really pissed about the NBA game, dude.
- 2:41Speaker 2: I think that I know that I told you the
- 2:44Speaker 2: stat on it.
- 2:45Speaker 5: Teams that are coming into a new series with over
- 2:48Speaker 5: a week rest have gone twenty four, twenty three and
- 2:51Speaker 5: fourteen maybe is what it was against the spread up
- 2:55Speaker 5: until this these two games that we saw. But well
- 2:59Speaker 5: they've gone one to one against the spread. The teams
- 3:02Speaker 5: with the rest advantage like that have gone one to one,
- 3:04Speaker 5: but they should have gone on two. Like obviously the
- 3:06Speaker 5: Spurs covered and one outright and I think had a
- 3:09Speaker 5: wire to wire cover in that game yesterday.
- 3:12Speaker 2: I can't believe that what happened in that game yesterday.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I know Cleveland is, you know, gonna be tired at
- 3:18Speaker 2: the end of the game. Whatever.
- 3:19Speaker 5: They were winning by twenty two points with like six
- 3:22Speaker 5: minutes left, the game was over.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Like I had it on over here.
- 3:25Speaker 5: I was like, whatever Cleveland won, I'm gonna stop watching him.
- 3:28Speaker 5: I should have given out Cleveland as a play. If
- 3:30Speaker 5: you had Cleveland plus seven or whatever, you clearly had
- 3:34Speaker 5: the right side. The line dropped to five and a
- 3:36Speaker 5: half by the time the game went off. The real
- 3:39Speaker 5: money was on Cleveland, So I think that, dude. My
- 3:42Speaker 5: Reid has always been like, if a team has a
- 3:45Speaker 5: long layoff, it disrupts their momentum when they're winning.
- 3:48Speaker 2: So I like to fade those teams. And I think we.
- 3:50Speaker 5: Probably should have just done that, although we'd be one
- 3:52Speaker 5: and one right now, but Cleveland should have won the
- 3:55Speaker 5: game outright.
- 3:56Speaker 2: That was the biggest playoff fourth quarter and plow in history.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure you don't lose when you're winning.
- 4:04Speaker 5: My twenty two points with six minutes left. The Knicks
- 4:09Speaker 5: finished the final six minutes of regulation on a thirty
- 4:13Speaker 5: to eight run, and then they also score the first
- 4:15Speaker 5: nine points of overtime. It is unbelievable how that happened.
- 4:20Speaker 5: And then they wound up covering as well. There's nothing
- 4:23Speaker 5: like that. And you go if you're Cleveland, and I'm
- 4:26Speaker 5: pissed because I want the Knicks out and I think
- 4:28Speaker 5: the Knicks, if they get into the final, I think
- 4:31Speaker 5: the Knicks are gonna beat the Spurs in the final.
- 4:34Speaker 2: That's what I think. Maybe not, but I don't know.
- 4:39Speaker 5: But if you're Cleveland, you have Game one wrapped up,
- 4:43Speaker 5: You're gonna steal Game one.
- 4:44Speaker 2: It's over. And you go from having Game one stolen
- 4:47Speaker 2: and you actually have a chance to win the series
- 4:50Speaker 2: to losing in the worst possible way.
- 4:52Speaker 5: When you lose like that, there's no way you get
- 4:54Speaker 5: back up off the mat for Game two. So now Cleveland,
- 4:57Speaker 5: because of that, because of the last six minutes that game,
- 5:00Speaker 5: they've now lost two games. They're not gonna win game two.
- 5:03Speaker 5: There's just no chance that they're gonna win Game two.
- 5:06Speaker 2: They're dead.
- 5:07Speaker 5: It's unbelievable how that happened. Anyway, Tyson, what's up, Josh?
- 5:13Speaker 2: What's up? Dirty sock? What's up?
- 5:18Speaker 5: A definitive rush song? I mean, there are way too many.
- 5:22Speaker 5: I mean twenty one to twelve. It's my favorite album
- 5:26Speaker 5: of all time. That song, I mean, it's an epic
- 5:30Speaker 5: song with many different parts to it.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Probably that. Let's move on.
- 5:36Speaker 5: We're gonna talk about baseball. Here we have afternoon baseball.
- 5:40Speaker 5: I don't like this baseball board today. Man, I'm gonna
- 5:42Speaker 5: give up two first five inning plays in baseball, and that's.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Really all I have. I have another one that I
- 5:48Speaker 2: almost added to the card.
- 5:50Speaker 5: I can't figure this out at all, man, I have
- 5:54Speaker 5: no idea what the fuck that means?
- 5:56Speaker 2: Mister Penzy, what's up? All right?
- 6:00Speaker 5: Cincinnati and Philadelphia is the first game up. These teams
- 6:04Speaker 5: have split the series of our Philadelphia did lose a
- 6:07Speaker 5: win streak yesterday. They had a five game win streak going.
- 6:10Speaker 5: They lost yesterday with that play that we got right.
- 6:12Speaker 5: So sometimes when a team loses a win streak will
- 6:15Speaker 5: be hung over into the next game. Maybe that will
- 6:18Speaker 5: happen here to Philadelphia. Philadelphia used three relief pitchers yesterday.
- 6:25Speaker 5: Cincinnati used three as well. Cincinnati's bullpen has not been good.
- 6:30Speaker 5: They are twenty ninth out of thirty in whip and
- 6:33Speaker 5: their era is really not much better than that. Philadelphia fifteenth,
- 6:38Speaker 5: so their bullpen's actually been okay. Especially recently. Philadelphia's offense
- 6:44Speaker 5: has kind of fallen back a little bit again.
- 6:46Speaker 2: They're at twenty second.
- 6:48Speaker 5: Cincinnati has moved up a little bit recently at eighteenth,
- 6:52Speaker 5: but two offenses that are kind of struggling over the
- 6:56Speaker 5: course of the season. Really, and we have afternoon base
- 7:00Speaker 5: because these teams are shipping out.
- 7:03Speaker 2: You know, a lot of these teams.
- 7:04Speaker 5: Are starting new series. Some of the series are continuing Tomorrow.
- 7:07Speaker 5: Tomorrow is gonna be a short baseball card. Though I
- 7:11Speaker 5: don't speak you know, sci fi languages, dude, the Dune movies.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Haven't even watched them.
- 7:17Speaker 5: I read some of the books long ago, haven't seen
- 7:20Speaker 5: the movies. Andrew Rabbit is pitching for Cincinnati. He has
- 7:26Speaker 5: not been good this year. Four point two one era
- 7:28Speaker 5: one point five whip that's pretty bad. You can't put
- 7:31Speaker 5: one and a half guys on base and inning. But
- 7:33Speaker 5: he's been better on the road, even though usually he
- 7:36Speaker 5: pitches better than this at home, Like if you look
- 7:38Speaker 5: throughout his career, he's been better than this. But his
- 7:41Speaker 5: home stadium is a hitter friendly stadium. He's on the
- 7:44Speaker 5: road here where he has a two point six to
- 7:46Speaker 5: one Roadie Ray, although Philly is also kind of a
- 7:50Speaker 5: hitter friendly ballpark. Abbott's been better this month, though, at
- 7:54Speaker 5: least with the number of runs he's allowed. He's allowed
- 7:57Speaker 5: one run this month in sixteen to two thirds. In
- 8:00Speaker 5: that he did face the Cubs and Houston shut them
- 8:03Speaker 5: both out, and those are pretty good offenses. The walks
- 8:06Speaker 5: continue to be a problem with him, though he's gotten
- 8:08Speaker 5: eleven to eight strike out walk ratio this month. He's
- 8:11Speaker 5: allowed way below one hit per inning, but the walks
- 8:14Speaker 5: are a huge problem. That's been the case all season.
- 8:17Speaker 5: His strikeout rate is low, He's not really a strikeout pitcher,
- 8:20Speaker 5: but his walk rate is too high.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Over the course of the season, he's allowed.
- 8:24Speaker 5: Too many hits as well, so at least he's been
- 8:26Speaker 5: better in that department recently. His numbers it gets Philadelphia
- 8:30Speaker 5: are not good. In fifty nine at bats three h
- 8:33Speaker 5: five average, allowed eight to eighteen ops, eleven to four
- 8:36Speaker 5: strikeout walk ratio. So I don't love Abbott in this game,
- 8:40Speaker 5: even though he is starting to pitch a little bit
- 8:41Speaker 5: better than this. I do think he is a bit
- 8:43Speaker 5: better than his season numbers would suggest right now, but
- 8:49Speaker 5: I don't know if I could trust him.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Here. Aaron Nola, speaking of being an untrustworthy pitcher, is
- 8:54Speaker 2: pitching for Philly.
- 8:56Speaker 5: Five point nine to one ERA, one point five to
- 8:58Speaker 5: five whip Again, that's pretty bad. He's a little bit
- 9:02Speaker 5: better at home five point five to two ERA. At home,
- 9:06Speaker 5: he got lit up in his last outing. It's Pittsburgh
- 9:08Speaker 5: failed to go five innings in his last two outings,
- 9:11Speaker 5: and in fact, in four of his last five that's
- 9:14Speaker 5: been the case. So though he faced a bunch of
- 9:15Speaker 5: good offenses in here, Cubs, Atlanta, Pittsburgh has been pretty
- 9:19Speaker 5: good as well. Colorado not so much. He's still not
- 9:24Speaker 5: really trustworthy me. His strikeout rate looks like it's down
- 9:27Speaker 5: right now. Too many walks. Five over the last two outings.
- 9:30Speaker 5: He's walked three or more batters in I don't know,
- 9:34Speaker 5: like half of his recent starts, multiple in all of
- 9:37Speaker 5: them except one against Miami, where he had one good
- 9:40Speaker 5: start against Miami mixed in there, which was our loss.
- 9:43Speaker 2: By the way.
- 9:44Speaker 5: We faded him in that one with junk and somehow
- 9:48Speaker 5: Nola shut down Miami and we lost that play.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Nola.
- 9:53Speaker 5: Over the course of the season, his strikeout rate is
- 9:55Speaker 5: actually better over the course of the season. It's above
- 9:58Speaker 5: one per inning, but he's walked.
- 9:59Speaker 2: To many guys. His hit rate is way too high
- 10:02Speaker 2: as well, way over one per inning.
- 10:04Speaker 5: I don't think we could trust them as numbers against
- 10:06Speaker 5: the Reds are not good either to eighty one, batting
- 10:08Speaker 5: average allowed, nine to thirty seven OPS, seven to three
- 10:12Speaker 5: strikeout walk ratio is whatever. I don't love either bullpen
- 10:17Speaker 5: here either.
- 10:18Speaker 2: This game.
- 10:19Speaker 5: For me, this would be an over. The total is
- 10:22Speaker 5: pretty high though it's at ten. But the odds makers
- 10:25Speaker 5: if they throw a line of ten out there, especially
- 10:27Speaker 5: in Philadelphia, which is it's a hitter friendly ballpark, but
- 10:32Speaker 5: it's not one of the extreme hitter friendly ballparks for
- 10:35Speaker 5: the odds makers to throw up. But well, they actually
- 10:37Speaker 5: threw it up at nine and a half and it
- 10:39Speaker 5: got moved up to ten.
- 10:40Speaker 2: But the fact of the line is that high.
- 10:43Speaker 5: I think indicates that the odds makers and the professional
- 10:46Speaker 5: betters seem to think the s is going to be
- 10:48Speaker 5: a high scoring game. But the money is hitting the under.
- 10:51Speaker 5: According to the percentages, sixty five percent of tickets on
- 10:55Speaker 5: the over, fifty five percent of the cash on the under.
- 10:59Speaker 5: No I said I would go over the total here.
- 11:01Speaker 5: That would be the way I would play it. Philadelphia
- 11:04Speaker 5: has the money coming in towards them for whatever that's worth,
- 11:07Speaker 5: fifty five percent of tickets, seventy percent of the cash.
- 11:10Speaker 5: On Philly, they're around minus one. Forty is a favorite here.
- 11:15Speaker 5: I don't think I would lay that type of price
- 11:17Speaker 5: with Philly with Nola on the mound. But again, over
- 11:20Speaker 5: is what makes the most sense to me in that game,
- 11:24Speaker 5: Red's team total over. I mean, I guess I agree
- 11:27Speaker 5: with that, But why would you do that when you have,
- 11:30Speaker 5: like both pitchers are terrible, and the Reds have the
- 11:33Speaker 5: lesser bullpen, So it's it's more likely that Philadelphia is
- 11:37Speaker 5: going to be the team carrying the offensive load in
- 11:40Speaker 5: that game, So I would not isolate it to the
- 11:43Speaker 5: Reds team total. No, I would go full game total
- 11:47Speaker 5: over is what I would do. Philadelphia over their team
- 11:50Speaker 5: total probably makes more sense than Reds over their team total.
- 11:55Speaker 5: I mean, Philly's the favorite and Cincinnati is the lesser bullpen.
- 12:00Speaker 5: Baltimore and Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay has won both games
- 12:06Speaker 5: in the series so far. These teams are not playing tomorrow,
- 12:09Speaker 5: which you know because they're playing in the afternoon, So
- 12:11Speaker 5: that means they're not playing tomorrow because they're traveling. Baltimore
- 12:15Speaker 5: might show up to avoid the sweep here, and Tampa
- 12:17Speaker 5: is playing the Yankees next, So that is a look
- 12:20Speaker 5: ahead man, potentially, so Tampa Bay has already won the series.
- 12:24Speaker 5: They've already outscored Tampa Bay in the series twenty to seven.
- 12:28Speaker 5: They might overlook Baltimore here, man, given that they have.
- 12:31Speaker 2: The Yankees next. Situation. The situation here is not good
- 12:36Speaker 2: for Tampa Bay.
- 12:38Speaker 5: Tampa Bay used four relief pitchers yesterday and their bullpen's
- 12:41Speaker 5: been struggling recently. Baltimore's bullpen's not very good either, and
- 12:45Speaker 5: they used four relief pitchers yesterday as well. Baltimore, where
- 12:50Speaker 5: are we at here? Baltimore's twentieth in bullpen, Tampa Bay thirteenth.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Both eis are in the mid fours.
- 12:59Speaker 2: That's not good.
- 13:01Speaker 5: Tampa Bay eighth in offense, Baltimore nineteenth in offense. Tampa
- 13:06Speaker 5: Bay does have the better offense. Shane Boss is pitching
- 13:09Speaker 5: for Baltimore. Believe it or not, I think he might
- 13:12Speaker 5: have an edge in this game. I know he hasn't
- 13:14Speaker 5: pitched twelve this year. Five point two six ERA one
- 13:17Speaker 5: point five to two Whip that's bad. He's been a
- 13:19Speaker 5: little bit better on the road four point nine to
- 13:22Speaker 5: nine roady RRAM. He pitched decently in his last outing
- 13:26Speaker 5: against Washington, went seven innings, held him to three or
- 13:29Speaker 5: in runs, but he had still he had too many walks,
- 13:32Speaker 5: So this month he still has a six point seven
- 13:34Speaker 5: to five r RAM thirteen to eleven strikeout walk ratio
- 13:37Speaker 5: that definitely concerns may Obviously, that is way too many walks.
- 13:43Speaker 5: Over the course of the season, his strikeout rates been down,
- 13:46Speaker 5: which is not good.
- 13:47Speaker 2: He usually gets a decent amount of strikeouts.
- 13:49Speaker 5: His fly ball rate is extreme, his walk numbers too high.
- 13:54Speaker 5: He's allowed more than one hit per inning. The good
- 13:57Speaker 5: thing for him recently is that the number of hits
- 13:59Speaker 5: have gone down. Other than that, the struggles kind of remain.
- 14:03Speaker 5: The good thing for him, though, is he's facing his
- 14:05Speaker 5: former team for the first time. And you know I
- 14:08Speaker 5: talk about that when a team, like in this case
- 14:11Speaker 5: Tampa Bay, they let Boz go, that's sort of like
- 14:15Speaker 5: a slap in the face, you know what I mean,
- 14:17Speaker 5: Like we don't want you anymore, we don't think you're
- 14:18Speaker 5: good enough.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Whatever. Boz might get up for this game, because this.
- 14:22Speaker 5: Will be the first time he gets to face the
- 14:25Speaker 5: team that got rid of them, and they're not familiar
- 14:27Speaker 5: with them. Only four toes and Moments have ever faced him.
- 14:30Speaker 5: They're zero for five with three strikeouts and two walks
- 14:33Speaker 5: against him. The rest of the hitters haven't seen him
- 14:35Speaker 5: in an actual game environment, so I think this is
- 14:38Speaker 5: a motivational spot for Boz. Plus, the matchup doesn't look
- 14:42Speaker 5: too bad unfamiliar, so I think he might actually pitch Okay. Here,
- 14:46Speaker 5: he will be going up against a Tampa Bay bullpend game,
- 14:49Speaker 5: which I don't like, given that Tampa Bay's bullpend isn't
- 14:52Speaker 5: that good. I know Tampa Bay they do this. Tampa
- 14:55Speaker 5: Bay and Detroit are the teams that do the bullpen
- 14:57Speaker 5: games the most.
- 14:59Speaker 2: So they're used to it. But I still don't think
- 15:01Speaker 2: it's a good idea.
- 15:03Speaker 5: Let me see who does tampav listed as the actual
- 15:05Speaker 5: It looks like it's gonna be Motts now, so we
- 15:08Speaker 5: might have to actually scratch that because Motts has actually
- 15:10Speaker 5: been going.
- 15:11Speaker 2: A starter's workload like it was. Schulten's listed as a starter,
- 15:15Speaker 2: but now it's gonna be Motts. So I gotta look
- 15:17Speaker 2: at this real quick.
- 15:19Speaker 5: Yeah, Motts is coming back from injury, so that's that's
- 15:24Speaker 5: why it was going to be a bullpen game. But
- 15:27Speaker 5: now it's gonna be Motts pitching, so that that definitely
- 15:30Speaker 5: changes the handicap. Like I like the situation for Baltimore.
- 15:33Speaker 5: If it was gonna be baz against a bullpen game,
- 15:37Speaker 5: I would definitely mean Baltimore. But given that it's gonna
- 15:39Speaker 5: be Motts now, that makes it better for Tampa Bay.
- 15:43Speaker 5: Motts has actually been pretty good three point eighty six
- 15:46Speaker 5: e r RAM, one point one whip. He hasn't been
- 15:48Speaker 5: as good at home though, four point five home y raim,
- 15:52Speaker 5: but he was pitching pretty well before he got hurt,
- 15:54Speaker 5: except that his strikeout rate was way low. He's been
- 15:58Speaker 5: hurt for most of the month of May now, but
- 16:00Speaker 5: he has been going a full starter's workload in these games.
- 16:04Speaker 5: His strikeout rate is low on the course of the season,
- 16:06Speaker 5: but he hasn't allowed many hits at all, well below
- 16:08Speaker 5: one hit per inning.
- 16:09Speaker 2: The walk rate is not too bad, but his.
- 16:13Speaker 5: Strikeout rate was low. Like his last two starts, he
- 16:16Speaker 5: had three strikeouts three walks. That's not very good, and
- 16:19Speaker 5: if you extend it to the start before that, it's
- 16:21Speaker 5: a seven to seven strikeout walk ratio, so that ratio
- 16:25Speaker 5: has a bit concerning, But he's allowed two or fewer
- 16:28Speaker 5: earned runs and all but two starts this season, so
- 16:31Speaker 5: you know, overall, his he looks pretty decent overall, but
- 16:36Speaker 5: he's been a reliever the last couple of years and
- 16:38Speaker 5: Tampa Bay turned him back into a starter. His numbers
- 16:41Speaker 5: against Baltimore are decent and twenty three at bats to
- 16:44Speaker 5: seventeen to average, seven to twenty eight oh ps, allowed
- 16:48Speaker 5: six to one strike out walk ratio souse.
- 16:50Speaker 2: I think that changes the handicap a little bit.
- 16:53Speaker 5: Uh Motts makes this a better a better matchup for
- 16:58Speaker 5: Tampa Bay here. I still wouldn't want to play Tampa
- 17:01Speaker 5: they're getting a little bit of the money seventy two
- 17:03Speaker 5: percent of tickets, seventy four percent of the cash on them.
- 17:06Speaker 2: I still think they're in a bad spot, so I
- 17:08Speaker 2: don't like it.
- 17:09Speaker 5: They're at minus one thirty or so with a veteran
- 17:12Speaker 5: like Motts, though coming back from injury, A lot of
- 17:14Speaker 5: times people will shy away from that picture because, oh,
- 17:17Speaker 5: what are they gonna do? You know, what are they
- 17:19Speaker 5: gonna look like when they come back from injury. But
- 17:20Speaker 5: if they're starting, that means they've gone through the rehab.
- 17:24Speaker 5: The team thinks they're ready, and he's a veteran. He's
- 17:27Speaker 5: been around forever, so he's used to this, you know,
- 17:29Speaker 5: so it's not gonna throw him off really. So usually
- 17:32Speaker 5: those pitchers actually are pumped to get back out there,
- 17:34Speaker 5: and they I think more often than not they tend
- 17:37Speaker 5: to do better. But yeah, that just throws off my
- 17:40Speaker 5: read of this game. I would have leaned to Baltimore Otherwise.
- 17:44Speaker 5: I still like the situation for Baltimore, but I don't
- 17:46Speaker 5: want to deal with this game. Money also is coming
- 17:48Speaker 5: in on the over, which I don't really agree with that.
- 17:52Speaker 5: I think I would maybe lean under first five innings
- 17:55Speaker 5: because you have an unfamiliar pitcher who might be motivated
- 17:58Speaker 5: in Boz, and then it Bos and Motts, and then
- 18:01Speaker 5: Motts does have decent matchup numbers, so first five undermakes
- 18:06Speaker 5: some sense. I would avoid the bullpens in that equation.
- 18:09Speaker 5: Houston at Minnesota, these teams have split this series as well.
- 18:15Speaker 5: I think I said season series when I talked.
- 18:17Speaker 2: About the other one. That is not what I meant.
- 18:18Speaker 5: I meant this series. Houston used a lot of their
- 18:22Speaker 5: relief pitchers. They use five relievers yesterday, Minnesota only used two.
- 18:26Speaker 5: But both these bullpens are bad. Houston's is the worst.
- 18:30Speaker 5: They're dead last as they remain that way. Thirtieth, Minnesota
- 18:35Speaker 5: twenty eighth, not much better, but their rest situation is
- 18:38Speaker 5: a little bit better. Houston is sixth in offense, Minnesota thirteenth.
- 18:44Speaker 5: Mike Burrow is getting the start for Houston. He has
- 18:47Speaker 5: not been good five point seven two e Ram, one
- 18:50Speaker 5: point five to three Whip. Don't like those numbers, obviously,
- 18:54Speaker 5: but he's been better on the road four point four
- 18:56Speaker 5: to four Roady Ram. Two of his three starts this
- 19:00Speaker 5: month were actually pretty good, and then he had a
- 19:03Speaker 5: bad start last time out against Seattle. Maybe not the
- 19:06Speaker 5: greatest sign Seattle, you know, they're not the greatest offense there,
- 19:11Speaker 5: but he's pitching.
- 19:13Speaker 2: I don't know. You have to gauge like is he
- 19:15Speaker 2: falling out a for him now or was that like
- 19:17Speaker 2: an outlier? And is he gonna remain in form.
- 19:19Speaker 5: Because his previous two starts were good. It's very hard
- 19:22Speaker 5: to say, but he hasn't been that good generally this season.
- 19:25Speaker 5: His strikeout rate is fine, it's a little bit below
- 19:28Speaker 5: one per inning. He gives up too many fly balls,
- 19:32Speaker 5: for my liking. He's allowed ten home runs. That's not good,
- 19:35Speaker 5: as walk rate is not too bad. But he's also
- 19:38Speaker 5: allowed ten more hits than any his pitch basically, which
- 19:41Speaker 5: is a problem. Although a lot of it was against Seattle,
- 19:44Speaker 5: like his two worst starts of the season were both
- 19:46Speaker 5: against Seattle, so it seems like he just doesn't pitch
- 19:50Speaker 5: well against Seattle. But I still don't really trust him.
- 19:54Speaker 5: His numbers against Minnesota are limited, but they're bad. He
- 19:58Speaker 5: has only seven at bats against some five of the
- 20:00Speaker 5: hero Toes have faced him before, five to seventy one
- 20:03Speaker 5: batting average allowed two thy fifty four ops is really
- 20:07Speaker 5: really wild, but it's a small sample.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Like I said, two to one strike at walk ratio.
- 20:13Speaker 5: Still, I think Burrows might be fatable in this one,
- 20:16Speaker 5: and he is going to have to go up against
- 20:17Speaker 5: Joe Ryan, who is the twins Ace three point two
- 20:21Speaker 5: ERA one point zero one whip. He's been good at
- 20:24Speaker 5: home as well, two point three to one home ERA.
- 20:27Speaker 5: He's pitched well this month, really, he said, besides a
- 20:32Speaker 5: shortened start where he got injured early in May. He
- 20:36Speaker 5: I think he got injured. I don't know what happened
- 20:38Speaker 5: in that game because he pitched on schedule after that,
- 20:41Speaker 5: but he's allowed two or fewer on runs in all
- 20:44Speaker 5: but two outings of this season. Let's just go back
- 20:46Speaker 5: that far. He's pitched well. I mean, we don't really
- 20:48Speaker 5: need to know that much. We know he's good. He's
- 20:51Speaker 5: more than one strike up er, inning a really low
- 20:53Speaker 5: hit rate. His walk rate is reasonably low as well.
- 20:57Speaker 5: His numbers are really good against Houston. He also has
- 21:00Speaker 5: pretty good numbers at seventy two at bats thirty one
- 21:03Speaker 5: to five strike out walk ratio is really good. One
- 21:06Speaker 5: to eighty one batting average allowed, six sixty four ops.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Good stuff.
- 21:12Speaker 5: I would go with Minnesota here, and it's the one
- 21:15Speaker 5: situation where Minnesota might actually.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Have the better bullpen as well.
- 21:19Speaker 5: They're the more rested bullpend here, and they're actually better
- 21:22Speaker 5: because Houston's is just that bad. I like Minnesota here.
- 21:27Speaker 5: I mean, I'm tempted to add this to my card.
- 21:30Speaker 5: If you find the money line at below minus one fifty,
- 21:33Speaker 5: you could just go money line on this. In my opinion,
- 21:36Speaker 5: at least, that's just kind of my threshold that I use.
- 21:39Speaker 5: They're in the minus one forties at some books. You
- 21:41Speaker 5: could go the split run line money line bet if
- 21:44Speaker 5: you wanted to on Minnesota, fifty seven percent of ticket,
- 21:47Speaker 5: sixty six percent of the cash on Minnesota, I would
- 21:50Speaker 5: lean that way, Borrows. I mean, his stats are just
- 21:53Speaker 5: really limited against Minnesota, so you know that, I guess
- 21:58Speaker 5: would be the one concern. But yeah, I like minnesot
- 22:00Speaker 5: And maybe you're paying a little bit of a tax
- 22:01Speaker 5: to play on Joe Ryan Thom. It almost looks too easy,
- 22:05Speaker 5: but it seems like the money is coming in that way.
- 22:09Speaker 2: I agree with it.
- 22:10Speaker 5: I'm wondering why I didn't put this on my card
- 22:12Speaker 5: because I do like this one. I don't know, I
- 22:15Speaker 5: had to be pretty selected, like I tried to be
- 22:17Speaker 5: really selective here.
- 22:20Speaker 2: I'll leave it alone.
- 22:21Speaker 5: Of course, I'm gonna be pissed once Minnesota winds up
- 22:24Speaker 5: winning the game, but yeah, I would lean towards Minnesota.
- 22:27Speaker 5: But of course either bullpen could just completely implode too,
- 22:30Speaker 5: so you could go first five innings, you know, first
- 22:35Speaker 5: five innings, laying Minnesota like the half run or whatever makes.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Some sense as well in that game. But I don't know.
- 22:41Speaker 5: Something about the price I just don't quite love. But
- 22:46Speaker 5: I like Minnesota on that one, all right. Yeah, it's
- 22:50Speaker 5: a tax Texas at Colorado. These seems to split the
- 22:57Speaker 5: series so far as well. Texas won ten to nothing yesterday.
- 23:02Speaker 5: Not often that the team gets shut out in course field.
- 23:06Speaker 5: Texas has good pitching, though Colorado used three relief pitchers yesterday,
- 23:10Speaker 5: Texas only used two. Texas has a really good bullpen.
- 23:14Speaker 5: Colorado does not. Colorado nineteenth and bullpen. Texas is fifth,
- 23:19Speaker 5: and they have the best bullpen ERA it's below three.
- 23:22Speaker 5: Really good bullpen. Hitting wise, it's not good news for Texas.
- 23:29Speaker 5: They're twenty fourth and hitting Colorado's sixteenth, but Colorado does
- 23:33Speaker 5: hit better at home. Jack Lighter is pitching for Texas.
- 23:38Speaker 5: He is not really one of their better pitchers. Four
- 23:40Speaker 5: point three five ERA, one point three to five whip
- 23:43Speaker 5: that's not very good. He's worse on the road, which
- 23:46Speaker 5: makes sense because Texas is a pitcher front the ballpark.
- 23:50Speaker 5: Corsefield is certainly not and Lighter as a four point
- 23:53Speaker 5: nine to seven roady ra He gives up a lot
- 23:57Speaker 5: of fly balls, which is when you're pitching a course field.
- 24:02Speaker 5: He's been okay over his last couple of outings. He
- 24:05Speaker 5: just went deep into an outing and held Houston a
- 24:07Speaker 5: one and run in seven innings, but his walk rate
- 24:10Speaker 5: was too high. So this month he's been kind of
- 24:14Speaker 5: all over the place. He's got a lot of strikeouts,
- 24:16Speaker 5: but his walk rate is really high as well, and
- 24:18Speaker 5: he hasn't been that hit able. That's kind of what
- 24:22Speaker 5: he's done all season though. Really he has a strikeout
- 24:24Speaker 5: rate over one per inning, hit rate below one per inning.
- 24:27Speaker 5: That's all pretty good, but his walk rate is too
- 24:29Speaker 5: high yet again, so that is the problem with him,
- 24:33Speaker 5: is his control is not good enough. His numbers against
- 24:36Speaker 5: Colorado or I would say mediocre at sixteen at bats.
- 24:41Speaker 5: It's not a big sample. Three to two strikeout walk
- 24:44Speaker 5: ratio two fifty average seven seventy one ohps is a
- 24:47Speaker 5: little bit on the higher side. I don't love lighter here.
- 24:51Speaker 5: Kyle Frieland is pitching for Colorado. He's just completely fallen off.
- 24:55Speaker 2: The rails here.
- 24:57Speaker 5: Seven point two to two ERA, one point sixty six win,
- 25:00Speaker 5: really really bad. He's been really bad in course field
- 25:03Speaker 5: eight point seven to nine ERA at home that is
- 25:06Speaker 5: not good. This month, he's been absolutely wrecked thirteen point
- 25:10Speaker 5: one five ERA this month.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Colorado's lost five starts.
- 25:13Speaker 5: In a row of his His strikeout rate remains okay,
- 25:16Speaker 5: but his walk rate is high.
- 25:18Speaker 2: This month.
- 25:19Speaker 5: That's a fourteen to seven at ratio. He's allowed two
- 25:22Speaker 5: hits per inning this month as well, which is really
- 25:25Speaker 5: really bad. He's allowed well over one hit per inning
- 25:29Speaker 5: over the course of the season. His strike out rate
- 25:31Speaker 5: is fine, and his walk rate is not that bad either,
- 25:34Speaker 5: but he's been really really hittable. That's a huge problem.
- 25:38Speaker 5: Numbers against Texas are bad. In seventy seven at bats,
- 25:42Speaker 5: twenty one, strikeout, six walks, that's fine, but three thirty
- 25:45Speaker 5: eight batting average allowed, nine to eighteen ops. Freeland could
- 25:49Speaker 5: definitely get lit up here. Probably, I don't know. I
- 25:56Speaker 5: would probably lean Texas in this one. Maybe Tech over
- 26:00Speaker 5: their team total makes sense. You just get Texas hitting
- 26:03Speaker 5: against Freeland and the bullpen there, and then you don't
- 26:07Speaker 5: have to worry about what Lighter is gonna do, because
- 26:10Speaker 5: I could see Lighter, you know, ranging from good to
- 26:13Speaker 5: awful in this game.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Money is coming in on.
- 26:16Speaker 5: Texas sixty five percent of tickets, seventy eight percent of
- 26:19Speaker 5: the cash on them. They're around minus one thirty. Texas
- 26:22Speaker 5: over their team total does make sense. You're probably gonna
- 26:24Speaker 5: need him to score six runs here, which I don't
- 26:27Speaker 5: know if I love that. The over in general is
- 26:30Speaker 5: taking money fifty per tickets, sixty nine percent of the
- 26:33Speaker 5: cash on the over totals at ten. Yeah, you know,
- 26:39Speaker 5: maybe that is the way I would still play it
- 26:41Speaker 5: and just allow both teams to do some damage for
- 26:44Speaker 5: you over the total of ten makes I don't know,
- 26:47Speaker 5: That's probably what makes the most sense to me in
- 26:49Speaker 5: that game. But Texas on the money line and Texas
- 26:54Speaker 5: team total over makes sense to me in that game
- 26:56Speaker 5: as well. Uh, San Francisco at Arizona. Arizona has won
- 27:01Speaker 5: three in a row. I believe on the verge of
- 27:04Speaker 5: sweeping the series. But I believe Arizona only plays Colorado next,
- 27:08Speaker 5: so that's not really a look ahead. But San Francisco
- 27:12Speaker 5: might show up with a little bit extra intensity to
- 27:15Speaker 5: try to avoid the sweep. Yeah, Arizona plays Colorado starting tomorrow.
- 27:21Speaker 5: Arizona will be staying at home for that, but yeah,
- 27:23Speaker 5: you might get a little bit extra motivation out of
- 27:25Speaker 5: San Francisco. Arizona might take them lightly. San Francisco has
- 27:29Speaker 5: not been playing well, especially offensively. They used four relief
- 27:32Speaker 5: pitchers yesterday, but Gauge only through two pitches, so he's
- 27:36Speaker 5: probably available again.
- 27:38Speaker 2: Arizona used two.
- 27:40Speaker 5: I don't like Arizona's bullpen, even though there's still ranked fourth,
- 27:43Speaker 5: and Whip I don't like them.
- 27:45Speaker 2: They're eras in.
- 27:45Speaker 5: The mid Fest, not good San Francisco and Whip is
- 27:49Speaker 5: ranked seventeenth, but their bullpen era is way better. I
- 27:52Speaker 5: think clearly they are the better bullpen. Arizona is the
- 27:55Speaker 5: better offense, though they're twelfth, the Giants are twenty eighth.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Good.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Tyler Maley's pitcher for Sanrancisco.
- 28:03Speaker 5: He's had a really ugly season five point five to
- 28:06Speaker 5: ninety RA, one point five to six WHIP. He's been
- 28:09Speaker 5: really bad on the road eight point three to eight
- 28:11Speaker 5: roady RA home road Split's looking really awful for him.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Here.
- 28:15Speaker 5: He pitches better in the pitcher friendly environment of San Francisco.
- 28:20Speaker 2: He just got lit up on.
- 28:22Speaker 5: The road, but it was at the A's stadium, so
- 28:24Speaker 5: that's a very difficult stadium to pitch him. His strikeout
- 28:27Speaker 5: walk ratio this month has actually been good nineteen to
- 28:30Speaker 5: four so in sixteen innings. That shows you he does
- 28:33Speaker 5: have good command right now. But he's also allowed way
- 28:35Speaker 5: over one hip per inning, so he's been way too
- 28:38Speaker 5: hittable and that's kind of been what he's done the course.
- 28:40Speaker 5: Over the course of the season, he has over one
- 28:43Speaker 5: strike up per inning, but his walk rate is definitely
- 28:45Speaker 5: too high on the season, and he's allowed more than
- 28:48Speaker 5: one hit per inning by quite a bit, which is bad.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Overall. I don't trust him, especially on the road.
- 28:54Speaker 5: Arizona hits him well as well, but only five of
- 28:57Speaker 5: the hitters have faced him. But thirty eight at bats
- 29:00Speaker 5: with two eighty nine batting average, eighth five OPS, seven
- 29:03Speaker 5: to four strike out walk ratio. Yeah, I would lean
- 29:06Speaker 5: towards fading Molly in this one. He's going up against
- 29:09Speaker 5: Meryl Kelly, who is starting to turn his season around.
- 29:13Speaker 5: His numbers overall is still bad five point nine to
- 29:16Speaker 5: one ERA, one point five to four WHIP.
- 29:18Speaker 2: He's still worse at home seven point one to five
- 29:21Speaker 2: home the RA, but he's coming off two good starts
- 29:24Speaker 2: in a row.
- 29:25Speaker 5: He went seven plus innings in both of them, allowed
- 29:27Speaker 5: two eurn runs combined nine to three strike out walk ratio.
- 29:31Speaker 2: That man was fine.
- 29:33Speaker 5: He just threw his first complete game of his career, though,
- 29:37Speaker 5: which was at course field, so he actually pitched well
- 29:40Speaker 5: in a hit or friendly environment, and he might maybe
- 29:44Speaker 5: he has a little bit of a personal letdown because
- 29:46Speaker 5: that was the first complete game of his career, so
- 29:49Speaker 5: it is possible he has a little bit of a
- 29:52Speaker 5: let down here and regresses a little bit here, but
- 29:54Speaker 5: he is starting to.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Come into form.
- 29:56Speaker 5: He was awful in his first few starts of the season,
- 29:59Speaker 5: so it is good that he is trending in the
- 30:01Speaker 5: right direction and pitching better. And his numbers against Sar Francisco,
- 30:05Speaker 5: though they are not good seventy three at bats, three
- 30:08Speaker 5: to zero one, batting average allowed, nine to five ops,
- 30:11Speaker 5: sixteen to three strike a walk ratio is good though,
- 30:14Speaker 5: but overall we have home road splits that go against
- 30:18Speaker 5: both starting pitchers.
- 30:21Speaker 2: The only thing that worris me. I like the over
- 30:22Speaker 2: in this game.
- 30:23Speaker 5: But the only thing that worries me is that Kelly,
- 30:26Speaker 5: you know, is coming into form right now. And Malay
- 30:30Speaker 5: actually has better recent numbers as well if you look
- 30:32Speaker 5: at his command numbers. So that's kind of my worry
- 30:34Speaker 5: here is that these pitchers might be in decent form
- 30:38Speaker 5: right now, but other than that, they have bad matchup numbers, bad.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Home road splits.
- 30:43Speaker 5: I at least do not like one of the two
- 30:45Speaker 5: bullpens here, So I think over is the way to
- 30:47Speaker 5: go with this game. The money doesn't seem to agree.
- 30:52Speaker 5: Seventy seven percent of tickets, eighty four percent of the
- 30:55Speaker 5: cash on the under total at eight and a half
- 30:58Speaker 5: close to nine.
- 30:59Speaker 2: Though, if you go over, yeah, I mean try to
- 31:01Speaker 2: get the over eight and a half.
- 31:03Speaker 5: I guess it minus one twenties you are below that
- 31:06Speaker 5: key number of nine.
- 31:07Speaker 2: But yeah, I like the over in that one. The
- 31:09Speaker 2: money's coming.
- 31:10Speaker 5: In towards San Francisco too, which I don't have a
- 31:12Speaker 5: good read on the side there. Minus one thirty is
- 31:15Speaker 5: the price on Arizona. Seventy one percent of ticket, sixty
- 31:18Speaker 5: six percent of the cash on Arizona.
- 31:22Speaker 2: That one I probably feel a bit more strongly about. Though.
- 31:24Speaker 5: I do like the over in that one, probably more
- 31:28Speaker 5: than I like the over in the Cincinnati Philly one
- 31:30Speaker 5: as well.
- 31:31Speaker 2: I don't know that one. I'm considering it.
- 31:34Speaker 5: That one is kind of calling my name, and it's
- 31:36Speaker 5: a bit of a lower total, and it is a
- 31:38Speaker 5: hitter friendly ballpark, you know, I don't know.
- 31:44Speaker 2: I'm thinking about it.
- 31:45Speaker 5: I just worry that, you know, the pictures might be
- 31:47Speaker 5: coming into form right now. That's my one concern with it.
- 31:51Speaker 5: I guess I'll leave it alone. But I do like
- 31:52Speaker 5: the over in that one.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Chicago White Sox at Seattle.
- 31:57Speaker 5: These teams have split the series as well, so I
- 32:00Speaker 5: think both teams are going to show up. For that reason,
- 32:03Speaker 5: White Sox do not have a good bullpen. They use
- 32:06Speaker 5: three relief pitchers. Yesterday Seattle used three as well. Seattle
- 32:09Speaker 5: has the better bullpen, though they used Castillo out of
- 32:12Speaker 5: the bullpen. Now things are going really bad for him.
- 32:16Speaker 5: Seattle's sixteenth in WHIP, but they have one of the
- 32:18Speaker 5: best bullpen eras they're a good bullpen. The White Sox
- 32:22Speaker 5: are not the White Sox twenty third. Hitting wise, the
- 32:25Speaker 5: White Sox have been good their ninth Seattle is twenty third,
- 32:31Speaker 5: although I think they're a little bit better than that.
- 32:33Speaker 5: Sean Burke pitching for the White Sox, decent season from him,
- 32:37Speaker 5: four point one ERA, one point one to eight WHIP.
- 32:40Speaker 5: He's been better on the road and he's getting to
- 32:42Speaker 5: pitch in a pitcher friendly stadium here, so that's good
- 32:45Speaker 5: news for him two point eight to one road ERA.
- 32:48Speaker 5: The bad news for him is Seattle has seen him already.
- 32:52Speaker 5: They just saw him two starts ago and it was
- 32:54Speaker 5: one of his worst starts. He was awful, and that
- 32:57Speaker 5: started at home against Seattle didn't make it five and
- 33:00Speaker 5: he's give up six earned runs.
- 33:01Speaker 2: It was pretty bad, and.
- 33:03Speaker 5: His numbers, mostly because of that start, are bad against Seattle.
- 33:06Speaker 5: Fifteen at bats, five thirty three average, eighteen thirty two OPS,
- 33:11Speaker 5: three to three strikeout walk ratio. I know it's one start,
- 33:16Speaker 5: so maybe he does do better in this one, and
- 33:18Speaker 5: he does pitch better on the road, whatever, but I
- 33:20Speaker 5: don't really think he's trustworthy right now here. He's going
- 33:24Speaker 5: up against Emerson Hancock, who I think is the better pitcher.
- 33:27Speaker 5: Hancock has good numbers here three point two ERA, one
- 33:31Speaker 5: point oh one WHIP. He's good at home two point
- 33:34Speaker 5: four to eight home ERA, so he's better at home.
- 33:37Speaker 2: He's in good for him this month with twenty four
- 33:40Speaker 2: strikeouts and four walks.
- 33:41Speaker 5: Although his one bad start this month was against you
- 33:44Speaker 5: guessed it, the White Sox two starts ago. He went
- 33:47Speaker 5: six inning's gave it five earned runs. But I believe
- 33:50Speaker 5: he was matchup against Burke in that game. I think
- 33:53Speaker 5: we lost an under in that game, so I'm not
- 33:56Speaker 5: gonna try to play an under in this game. But yeah,
- 34:00Speaker 5: all of the starting pitchers got lit up in that game.
- 34:02Speaker 5: Although Hancock did still outpitch Burke in that game, and
- 34:05Speaker 5: he actually still got the win even though he didn't
- 34:07Speaker 5: pitch well.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Handcock overall has been good.
- 34:10Speaker 5: He's got over one strike up per inning, below one
- 34:13Speaker 5: hit per inning in a low walk rate this season,
- 34:15Speaker 5: so he's good for Burke by the way. Over the
- 34:18Speaker 5: course of the season, his numbers have been okay. He's
- 34:23Speaker 5: allowed fewer than one hit per inning, pretty low walk rate,
- 34:26Speaker 5: and his strike out rate is low. Though as far
- 34:31Speaker 5: as uh oh yeah Hancock against I'm all over the place.
- 34:34Speaker 5: Hancock against the White Sox twenty five at bats four
- 34:38Speaker 5: to four strike up walk rat show not very good.
- 34:40Speaker 2: Two forty batting average is low.
- 34:42Speaker 5: Seven to eighty five ops is not very low though,
- 34:47Speaker 5: But yeah, overall, I think Hancock does have the edge here.
- 34:50Speaker 2: I probably lean to Seattle here.
- 34:52Speaker 5: I don't really want to do it, but the money
- 34:54Speaker 5: is coming in on Seattle sixty four percent of tickets,
- 34:57Speaker 5: eighty seven percent of the cash on Seattle. They are
- 35:00Speaker 5: at minus one forty or so here minus one forty five.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Really money line makes sense.
- 35:06Speaker 5: I mean, if it's above one fifty, I start recommending
- 35:09Speaker 5: splitting between run line and money line. Total is really
- 35:12Speaker 5: low at seven and a half given how high scoring
- 35:15Speaker 5: the game was the last time these two pitchers matched up,
- 35:18Speaker 5: And yeah, they could both pitch better here, that's true,
- 35:20Speaker 5: But the money's coming in on the over seven and
- 35:23Speaker 5: a half usually indicates it's going to be a lower
- 35:25Speaker 5: scoring game.
- 35:26Speaker 2: But I'm not so sure in this case.
- 35:28Speaker 5: Although Seattle is a more pitcher friendly ballpark than the
- 35:31Speaker 5: White Sox Park is, which is where that other game was.
- 35:34Speaker 5: So do it that information what you want as I
- 35:37Speaker 5: clean my glasses here, But yeah, I think I would
- 35:40Speaker 5: lean to Seattle more so in that game than anything else. Plus,
- 35:43Speaker 5: they give you a bullpen advantage there, and I think
- 35:46Speaker 5: they're the better team even though they have the lesser records.
- 35:48Speaker 5: So the odds makers, like I said in Game one
- 35:51Speaker 5: when I gave out Seattle as a play, the odds
- 35:53Speaker 5: makers are telling you something by lining Seattle as a favorite.
- 35:58Speaker 5: Atlanta at Miami. These teams have split the first two
- 36:03Speaker 5: games of this series. Miami won in a blowout in
- 36:06Speaker 5: the first game, and then Atlanta got them back yesterday.
- 36:10Speaker 5: Miami used a lot of relief pitchers in that game.
- 36:12Speaker 5: Looks like it was an extra inning game even though
- 36:14Speaker 5: it wasn't. Miami used five relief pitchers in that game.
- 36:19Speaker 5: That's not good.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Atlanta use four.
- 36:24Speaker 5: These are both good bullpens, but I would avoid them
- 36:27Speaker 5: in this game because the bullpens are not rested. Although
- 36:30Speaker 5: Atlanta's ranked number one Miami seven in bullpen, Atlanta's number
- 36:35Speaker 5: two in offense Miami fifteenth. This looks like a good
- 36:39Speaker 5: pitching matchup here though. Man Chris Sale is pitching for Atlanta.
- 36:44Speaker 5: He's having another really good season one point nine to
- 36:46Speaker 5: sixty RA, point nine to one WHIP. He's been more
- 36:50Speaker 5: hittable on the road though three point six roadie RA
- 36:54Speaker 5: still pretty good, but he's not as good on the
- 36:56Speaker 5: road as he is at home. But still I wouldn't
- 36:58Speaker 5: really look to fade him or any like that. He's
- 37:01Speaker 5: pitched really well this month, twenty six to five strike
- 37:04Speaker 5: out walk ratio well below one hit per inning. And
- 37:07Speaker 5: those are starts at Coursefield, on the road against the
- 37:10Speaker 5: Dodgers and at home against the Cubs, so not easy
- 37:14Speaker 5: pitching assignments. And he dominated in every one of those
- 37:16Speaker 5: starts pretty much and out it came out of that
- 37:20Speaker 5: with a one point three to five RA over those starts.
- 37:23Speaker 5: He's got a really high strikeout rate, really low hit rate,
- 37:26Speaker 5: and his walk rate is pretty low this year as well.
- 37:29Speaker 5: Numbers across the board really good, and somehow Miami only
- 37:32Speaker 5: has two hitters who have.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Ever even faced Sale before.
- 37:36Speaker 5: They're combined one for seven off and Morell has the
- 37:39Speaker 5: only hit a single. They have two strikeouts, no walks
- 37:42Speaker 5: against them.
- 37:43Speaker 2: So you're looking.
- 37:44Speaker 5: At a Hall of Fame pitcher who's still pitching well,
- 37:49Speaker 5: who's unfamiliar to most of the opposing lineup here and
- 37:52Speaker 5: has done well against the guys that he has faced.
- 37:55Speaker 2: Sale looks like he sets up pretty well in this game.
- 37:57Speaker 4: Man.
- 37:58Speaker 5: The only concern at all is that he's not quite
- 38:00Speaker 5: good on the road, but the matchup looks really good
- 38:03Speaker 5: for him. It's a pitcher friendly ballpark. Miami is going
- 38:06Speaker 5: with Jansen Junk. He's been a little bit worse recently.
- 38:10Speaker 5: I like how he's pitched this season for the most part, but.
- 38:12Speaker 2: His current form is what concerns.
- 38:14Speaker 5: Me, because this is I consider putting this game on
- 38:18Speaker 5: my card. I like the first five under in this game.
- 38:22Speaker 5: Junk has been alright this season four point one four ERA,
- 38:25Speaker 5: one point two to four WHIP. He's been better at
- 38:27Speaker 5: home three point twenty four home ERA, so he has
- 38:30Speaker 5: the home road splits in his favor. My concern is
- 38:33Speaker 5: his last two starts were not very good. His start
- 38:37Speaker 5: against Washington you might be able to give him a
- 38:39Speaker 5: pass for that one because he had a six to
- 38:41Speaker 5: two strike out walk ratio, But then he followed that
- 38:43Speaker 5: up with really a horrendous performance against Tampa Bay, So
- 38:47Speaker 5: I worry that he's going out of form right now.
- 38:50Speaker 5: That would be my concern. To give up seven runs
- 38:52Speaker 5: and five to two thirds innings there. He's not a
- 38:54Speaker 5: big strikeout guy, but he does induce a lot of
- 38:57Speaker 5: ground balls. His strikeout rates low, but he has a
- 38:59Speaker 5: low walk great for the most part the season, it's
- 39:03Speaker 5: not high. At least he's a lot fewer than one
- 39:05Speaker 5: hit per inning. So overall, his numbers still are pretty good,
- 39:08Speaker 5: and he does actually have good matchup numbers against the Braves.
- 39:11Speaker 5: Small sample though eighteen at bats you only have one
- 39:14Speaker 5: extra base hit off him. Du Bond has a double
- 39:18Speaker 5: five strikeouts, no walks to twenty two batting average allowed
- 39:22Speaker 5: five hundred ops, so junk looks like he does match
- 39:25Speaker 5: up pretty well normally. I like both these bullpens, and
- 39:28Speaker 5: I would go I would lean full game under Normally
- 39:31Speaker 5: but because of the bullpen rest scenario looking really.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Bad on both sides. I like, first five under in
- 39:38Speaker 2: this one totals at seven and a half juice to
- 39:41Speaker 2: the under though for the full game, so it's getting
- 39:45Speaker 2: a little bit dangerous. But you're looking at probably an
- 39:47Speaker 2: under three. You might be able to find a three
- 39:48Speaker 2: and a half for the first five there under three.
- 39:53Speaker 5: And a half might yeah, I mean that would be
- 39:55Speaker 5: my lean first five under three and a half seventy
- 39:58Speaker 5: five percent of tickets, eight percent of the cash on
- 40:01Speaker 5: the under in this one. The money's also hitting Atlanta
- 40:04Speaker 5: seventy nine percent of tickets, ninety four percent of the
- 40:06Speaker 5: cash on Atlanta. But you're paying attacks with Chris Sale
- 40:11Speaker 5: and with the team with as you know, a record
- 40:13Speaker 5: that's as good as Atlanta's is. You're laying almost minus
- 40:16Speaker 5: two hundred on the road for Atlanta. I'm not really
- 40:19Speaker 5: willing to do that. I mean, there is a run
- 40:22Speaker 5: line option there, obviously, but I don't think I would
- 40:24Speaker 5: want to do that. I think my play in that
- 40:27Speaker 5: game will be first five inning under. But that one
- 40:30Speaker 5: didn't quite make the cut for me, And again, maybe
- 40:32Speaker 5: I'm being too selective.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Cleveland at Detroit Detroit.
- 40:35Speaker 5: Is just in a bad situation here, man, just in general,
- 40:39Speaker 5: I mean where they have no pitching right now, I
- 40:41Speaker 5: mean the situation, like as far.
- 40:43Speaker 2: As the situation in this game.
- 40:45Speaker 5: Though Detroit's lost the first two games of the series,
- 40:48Speaker 5: they still have a good home record, although a lot
- 40:50Speaker 5: of that was before you know, the schoolbol injury and
- 40:53Speaker 5: all this crap has happened to Detroit that's kind of
- 40:56Speaker 5: caused them to unravel. These teams are playing tomorrow as well,
- 40:59Speaker 5: so this is not the end of the series, so
- 41:02Speaker 5: technically Detroit is not on the verge of getting swept yet.
- 41:05Speaker 5: But they've lost the first two games of the series,
- 41:08Speaker 5: so Cleveland might overlook them here. Detroit probably has a
- 41:12Speaker 5: little bit extra motivation, but they just look I don't know,
- 41:16Speaker 5: they look like a bad team right now.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Dude.
- 41:19Speaker 5: Losing school balls seems to have really really affected their
- 41:22Speaker 5: mental state Detroit. I mean, you can't let that happen
- 41:25Speaker 5: with just one guy going down. But still, Detroit used
- 41:27Speaker 5: three relief pitchers yesterday. Cleveland used five, so that's not
- 41:32Speaker 5: very good. So I would look probably to avoid both
- 41:36Speaker 5: bullpens here. Cleveland is tenth in bullpen though their bullpen
- 41:39Speaker 5: hasn't been bad. Detroit's is not great at eighteenth. Hitting wise,
- 41:45Speaker 5: Cleveland's actually moved.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Up a bit. They are fourteenth right now. Detroit's fallen
- 41:49Speaker 2: down to nineteenth.
- 41:51Speaker 5: Although I'm not quite convinced that Detroit is really the
- 41:53Speaker 5: worst of the two offenses here. We know that Tanner
- 41:56Speaker 5: by best picture for Cleveland here, he's been not great.
- 42:00Speaker 5: Four point one five ERA, one point three to five whip.
- 42:05Speaker 5: He's been really bad on the road eight point one
- 42:08Speaker 5: five ROADRA, which is six runs higher than his home THERA.
- 42:11Speaker 2: That's pretty bad.
- 42:13Speaker 5: He's been pretty good in his last two outings though
- 42:16Speaker 5: he's got eleven strikeouts four walks over those two. He's
- 42:18Speaker 5: allowed three or fewer earned runs in both of them.
- 42:21Speaker 5: So Baby is pitching a little bit better. Uh really,
- 42:24Speaker 5: three of his last four starts have been good. But
- 42:27Speaker 5: we've seen a flip flop in his run support because
- 42:30Speaker 5: if you remember last year, his numbers were like about
- 42:34Speaker 5: the same last year, but Cleveland was winning like all
- 42:37Speaker 5: of his games because they were giving.
- 42:38Speaker 2: Him a ton of run support.
- 42:40Speaker 5: This year, they're losing every single one of his games
- 42:42Speaker 5: because they're giving him no run support. For the most part, Yeah,
- 42:47Speaker 5: Cleveland has not won any.
- 42:48Speaker 2: Of his starts. Is his first start of the season,
- 42:51Speaker 2: and again, some of it is not his fault.
- 42:53Speaker 5: He's made good starts in there and it still has
- 42:56Speaker 5: not resulted in in his team winning, so it's not
- 42:59Speaker 5: all his fault. Do we trust him here, though I
- 43:03Speaker 5: don't know. His numbers against Detroit are okay, one hundred
- 43:06Speaker 5: and thirty two at bats. They are familiar with him,
- 43:09Speaker 5: but we have a big sample to look at here,
- 43:10Speaker 5: which is a better indicator. Two forty two batting average,
- 43:14Speaker 5: a lot seven at seventeen ops, thirty three to fourteen
- 43:18Speaker 5: strike out walk ratio. Not good with the number of walks,
- 43:21Speaker 5: but overall his numbers are not that bad against Detroit.
- 43:24Speaker 5: But I worry that Cleveland doesn't give him one support.
- 43:27Speaker 5: I worry that he's not good away from home. Obviously,
- 43:31Speaker 5: I got some concerns with this. But then Detroit is
- 43:33Speaker 5: going with a bullpen game here. Their listed is undecided.
- 43:36Speaker 5: But I went back and I looked five games prior
- 43:39Speaker 5: to this was Detroit's bullpen game where they opened with
- 43:42Speaker 5: Hannafee and then they went to Madden in relief behind him.
- 43:47Speaker 5: Madden's not really that bad though, So if Madden not
- 43:49Speaker 5: John Madden Time Madden. If Madden comes into this game
- 43:53Speaker 5: and gives you like four innings, that's not really that
- 43:56Speaker 5: bad for Detroit. But this game is very, very difficult
- 43:59Speaker 5: to handicap. Obviously, this is this is not a game
- 44:02Speaker 5: I'm going to be touching. Cleveland is favored at around
- 44:06Speaker 5: minus one twenty on the road. I don't know that
- 44:09Speaker 5: they deserve to be favored like that, especially with a
- 44:11Speaker 5: starting pitcher that's kind of mediocre and really not good
- 44:14Speaker 5: on the road. I don't know if that price is justified.
- 44:17Speaker 5: Seventy two percent of tickets eighty percent of the cash
- 44:19Speaker 5: on Detroit total is surprisingly low. It's seven and a half.
- 44:23Speaker 5: I don't know what's up with that total, you know.
- 44:27Speaker 5: I mean, Cleveland plays a lot of low scoring games,
- 44:29Speaker 5: but a lot of them are at home.
- 44:31Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 44:31Speaker 5: I mean, just that total just in general seems a
- 44:34Speaker 5: bit low, Like it just seems like it should not
- 44:37Speaker 5: be that low. But if the osbagers put out it's
- 44:40Speaker 5: older that low, they are usually telling you something. So
- 44:43Speaker 5: I'm not quite ready to be like, yeah, you should
- 44:44Speaker 5: go over that total, because the last time I said that,
- 44:47Speaker 5: it was that one nothing San Diego and Dodgers game,
- 44:52Speaker 5: but that would involve two like legitimate pitchers, though they
- 44:55Speaker 5: just have a bad matchup numbers.
- 44:58Speaker 2: All right, Charge, what's up? Thanks for hanging out? All right?
- 45:04Speaker 5: Mets and Washington is the next team? Man, oh man,
- 45:08Speaker 5: I'm feeling it. My voice is fucked. This baseball is
- 45:12Speaker 5: so annoying to handicapped dude, and to talk about it
- 45:15Speaker 5: on the show, it just takes for fucking ever. I
- 45:18Speaker 5: gotta find a better way to do this without getting
- 45:20Speaker 5: like really tired and killing my voice and with my
- 45:24Speaker 5: sinuses not being horrible. Mets at Washington This series continues tomorrow.
- 45:31Speaker 5: These teams have split the first two games of the series,
- 45:33Speaker 5: both games very high scoring Washington at home. They tend
- 45:38Speaker 5: to have a lot of high scoring games at home.
- 45:40Speaker 5: Their bullpen is also really bad. The only use two
- 45:43Speaker 5: relief pitchers yesterday, though the Mets used one. The Mets
- 45:48Speaker 5: have the better bullpen, Washington's is bad. They're twenty fifth.
- 45:51Speaker 2: Mets have been pretty good in that department. They're ninth.
- 45:55Speaker 2: Their offense has been their huge problem.
- 45:57Speaker 5: They're dead last still in offense, thirtieth in his fifth
- 46:01Speaker 5: so Washington does have the better offense. Mets are gonna
- 46:04Speaker 5: be going with Zach Thornton, who is making his major
- 46:07Speaker 5: league debut. The Mets don't even ESPN. I mean, doesn't
- 46:11Speaker 5: even have a head shot for him yet. They've been
- 46:13Speaker 5: better at getting pitchers head shots up here, but not
- 46:16Speaker 5: for him. Zach Thornton is a thin six' three, lefty
- 46:21Speaker 5: and a lot of times lefties like they're arm, angles
- 46:27Speaker 5: usually just tougher to pick up for hitters because they
- 46:30Speaker 5: see lefties less.
- 46:31Speaker 2: Often et.
- 46:32Speaker 5: CETERA i looked At thornton's you, know scouting he doesn't
- 46:35Speaker 5: throw that. Hard he throws like low, nineties but his
- 46:39Speaker 5: best pitches are a slider and a cutter that both
- 46:42Speaker 5: have a lot of movement on, them AND i guess
- 46:44Speaker 5: he mixes in like a curveball and a change up
- 46:47Speaker 5: THAT i guess are not his best.
- 46:50Speaker 2: Pitches like, basically a scouting report is saying.
- 46:53Speaker 5: That his ceiling is like a last man in the
- 46:56Speaker 5: rotation type of major league. Starter but his numbers In
- 46:58Speaker 5: TRIPLE a have been pretty good this. YEAR i looked
- 47:00Speaker 5: up his. Numbers is he RAY i think was like in.
- 47:02Speaker 2: The twos or maybe ones In TRIPLE.
- 47:05Speaker 5: A it was a small sample though this, season but
- 47:08Speaker 5: he had good numbers across the, board really, like wasn't
- 47:11Speaker 5: allowing a lot of, hits wasn't allowing a lot of.
- 47:12Speaker 5: Walks his strikeout rate was. Decent he might be able
- 47:16Speaker 5: to do okay, Here like when you have a talented
- 47:19Speaker 5: young pitcher and they're unfamiliar to the opposing, hitters which
- 47:22Speaker 5: of course he, is a lot of times they can
- 47:24Speaker 5: pitch they can, have you, know an extra advantage because
- 47:27Speaker 5: the hitters have to figure him. Out So thornton might
- 47:30Speaker 5: actually pitch well. Here and he's going up against the
- 47:33Speaker 5: Other zach, Here Zach littel in The battle of The.
- 47:36Speaker 5: Zachs Zach lettel has not been good For washington six
- 47:40Speaker 5: point ONE era one point five. Whip his home road
- 47:44Speaker 5: splits are pretty pretty much the same between home and.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Road he did have.
- 47:49Speaker 5: A five inning shutout last time out Against, baltimore but
- 47:51Speaker 5: he failed to go five innings in three straight starts before.
- 47:54Speaker 2: That he has a four to four strikeout walk right
- 47:57Speaker 2: here this.
- 47:57Speaker 5: Month that is not. Good i'm not seeing much to
- 48:00Speaker 5: like About. Lttel he has a really low strikeout rate
- 48:03Speaker 5: over the course of the. Season he's allowed way over
- 48:06Speaker 5: one hit per inning as well his walk. Rate you
- 48:10Speaker 5: know it's not, great it wouldn't be that, bad but
- 48:12Speaker 5: his strikeout rate is just so.
- 48:13Speaker 2: Low he's not. Good. Man there's not a lot to like,
- 48:16Speaker 2: here and his numbers against The mets are also. Bad
- 48:21Speaker 2: he's got fifty at.
- 48:21Speaker 5: Bats against some nine to six strike out walk ratio
- 48:24Speaker 5: three twenty batting average, allowed nine to thirty three. Ops
- 48:28Speaker 5: some of The American league guys that used to be
- 48:30Speaker 5: in The American league have seen him a, bunch Including
- 48:34Speaker 5: boba schett who used to be in the same.
- 48:36Speaker 2: Division BECAUSE i Think.
- 48:37Speaker 5: Lttel was On Tampa bay for a, While i'm pretty, sure, yes, Correct,
- 48:45Speaker 5: YEAH i don't like what we're seeing out of latel here.
- 48:48Speaker 2: MAN i would lean to The. Mets mets have the better.
- 48:52Speaker 5: Bullpen you could definitely make the argument The mets have
- 48:55Speaker 5: the better starting pitcher here Because lattel is. Bad But
- 48:58Speaker 5: thornton is just a mystery. Man we don't know what
- 49:01Speaker 5: we're gonna get out Of. Thornton one other approach that
- 49:03Speaker 5: you could take here is to Go.
- 49:05Speaker 2: Mets over their team. TOTAL i know that.
- 49:08Speaker 5: Sounds, insane and they're favored on the road and the
- 49:11Speaker 5: totals nine and a, half so you're gonna be asking
- 49:13Speaker 5: the worst offensive baseball The, mets to score like six
- 49:17Speaker 5: runs probably or five runs maybe in the. GAME i
- 49:21Speaker 5: know that's a difficult, ask SO i don't know if
- 49:24Speaker 5: that's my favorite. Approach But washington has a lot a
- 49:26Speaker 5: ton of runs at, home like they're pitching is awful at,
- 49:29Speaker 5: home so it's definitely not out of the question The
- 49:31Speaker 5: mets are gonna score that many. Runs and by the,
- 49:34Speaker 5: way The mets have scored that many runs in both
- 49:36Speaker 5: games in the series so, far so maybe it's not
- 49:38Speaker 5: that much of an ask because in this series they've
- 49:41Speaker 5: scored sixteen and six in the two. Games i'm pretty
- 49:44Speaker 5: Sure mets minus won twenty or. So on the price,
- 49:49Speaker 5: here the money's coming out Of. Washington there is no
- 49:52Speaker 5: WAY i would Play washington in this, game no. Way
- 49:55Speaker 5: seventy five percent of tickets on The, mets seventy one
- 49:57Speaker 5: percent of the cash On. WASHINGTON i still think The
- 50:01Speaker 5: mets would be my preferred way of playing that. Game
- 50:03Speaker 5: but it's, again it's a total mystery what you're gonna
- 50:05Speaker 5: get out of a guy in his.
- 50:06Speaker 2: Major league, debut and you, know he doesn't have high.
- 50:10Speaker 5: Heat LIKE i, said he's more of a guy that
- 50:14Speaker 5: relies on, location the movement of his, pitches you know
- 50:18Speaker 5: that type of, stuff and you know. SMARTS i, suppose all,
- 50:23Speaker 5: right the next game up Is toronto and The. Yankees
- 50:26Speaker 5: this is gonna be AN Mlb network And Amazon prime
- 50:29Speaker 5: game because of course it is because it involves The.
- 50:31Speaker 2: Yankees so why wouldn't.
- 50:32Speaker 5: It yankees have won the first two games of the,
- 50:36Speaker 5: series both by one. Run toronto had a chance to
- 50:40Speaker 5: win both, games So i'm not happy about it Because
- 50:43Speaker 5: yankees sock fuck The. Yankees this series continues, tomorrow by the,
- 50:48Speaker 5: way so this is not the last game of the.
- 50:49Speaker 2: Series maybe The yankees start.
- 50:51Speaker 5: Overlooking, toronto you, KNOW i don't, know because this is
- 50:55Speaker 5: a revenge series for The yankees, though Because toronto eliminated
- 50:58Speaker 5: them from the playoffs last. Year so maybe beating them
- 51:01Speaker 5: twice by one run isn't enough for The. Yankees and
- 51:04Speaker 5: do you THINK i want to Fade Cam schlittler? Here not, really,
- 51:08Speaker 5: no although when you look at the matchup, numbers it
- 51:10Speaker 5: actually does make it an option in this. Game The
- 51:14Speaker 5: yankees bullpen, wise the use four relief pitchers, yesterday which
- 51:17Speaker 5: is a.
- 51:18Speaker 2: Decent amount to have to.
- 51:19Speaker 5: Use toronto also used four though On toronto's bullpen is
- 51:23Speaker 5: not particularly.
- 51:24Speaker 2: Trustworthy The yankees have the better.
- 51:26Speaker 5: Bullpen they ranked eleventh right Now toronto is where Is toronto,
- 51:32Speaker 5: Fourteenth so they're not really that much. Worse so we
- 51:35Speaker 5: have two okay bullpens. Here yankees have the better offense by.
- 51:39Speaker 5: Far they're, third and they're a really good offense at.
- 51:43Speaker 5: Home they're the best offense.
- 51:44Speaker 2: At home this.
- 51:45Speaker 5: Season AS i mentioned, yesterday The yankees are scoring like
- 51:50Speaker 5: six and a half runs per game at, home but
- 51:52Speaker 5: on the road they're scoring like below. Four BUT i
- 51:56Speaker 5: think their scoring rate at home is probably gonna go
- 51:58Speaker 5: down because it's like such an, outlier like that's a
- 52:01Speaker 5: that IS i know it doesn't sound that high, maybe
- 52:04Speaker 5: but that is really.
- 52:05Speaker 2: High.
- 52:05Speaker 5: Uh toronto's twenty sixth in, offense by the, way not,
- 52:09Speaker 5: good but they do Have Trey Ya savage on the.
- 52:11Speaker 2: Mound he is one of their better. Pitchers he's.
- 52:14Speaker 5: Good he's still really, young twenty, two but he's got
- 52:18Speaker 5: a decent amount of experience, Already.
- 52:19Speaker 2: He's faced The yankees before.
- 52:21Speaker 5: Him he's pitched in the playoffs, already. Playoffs you, know Y,
- 52:26Speaker 5: savage he's. Good he's got one point four era is
- 52:29Speaker 5: one point two nine. Whip you wish it was a
- 52:31Speaker 5: little bit, lower but he hasn't pitched that many games so.
- 52:34Speaker 5: Far they've limited his pitch count a bit so. Far
- 52:37Speaker 5: last time out they let him go a little bit.
- 52:39Speaker 5: Further he went six innings Against detroit last time. Out
- 52:43Speaker 5: pretty good start from. Him his walk rate has been
- 52:46Speaker 5: a little bit, high so that's kind of the concern right.
- 52:48Speaker 5: Now he's got a good strikeout rate over one per,
- 52:50Speaker 5: inning allowing fewer than one hit per any but his walk.
- 52:53Speaker 2: Rate is slightly. High, uh you want that to be
- 52:56Speaker 2: a bit lower than it.
- 52:57Speaker 5: Is but overall he's allowed two or fewer runs and
- 53:00Speaker 5: all his, outings even THOUGH i know two of them
- 53:02Speaker 5: were shorter than five. Innings but he's pitched well, overall
- 53:06Speaker 5: and he's been kind of A yankee killer so far
- 53:10Speaker 5: in his. Career they have fifteen at bats against. HIM
- 53:12Speaker 5: i know that's not a, lot but they're zero for
- 53:14Speaker 5: fifteen off of, him with ten strikeouts and one. Walk
- 53:18Speaker 5: so he has dominated The yankees lineup when he actually
- 53:21Speaker 5: has faced. Them NOW i know some of that is
- 53:24Speaker 5: because The yankees hadn't seen, him so now that they,
- 53:26Speaker 5: Have i'm not expecting The yankees to continue to not
- 53:29Speaker 5: get a hit off him at, All BUT i think
- 53:31Speaker 5: this matchup does set up pretty well for You savage. Here,
- 53:35Speaker 5: Meanwhile schlittler having a really good season obviously one point
- 53:39Speaker 5: three to FIVE ra point seven to eight whip might
- 53:42Speaker 5: wind up being a Cy young winner this. Year he's
- 53:45Speaker 5: been a little bit worse at home two point one SIX,
- 53:48Speaker 5: era but it's in a smaller. Sample, still that's a good,
- 53:50Speaker 5: era And Yankee stadium is a hitter friendly. Ballpark But,
- 53:55Speaker 5: SCHLITTLER i, mean he's been really good over the course
- 53:57Speaker 5: of the. Season he's allowed one or zero runs in
- 54:00Speaker 5: every start going all the way back to Mid. April you,
- 54:04Speaker 5: know obviously we don't really need to go into. It
- 54:06Speaker 5: his numbers are really.
- 54:07Speaker 2: Good over the course of the.
- 54:08Speaker 5: Season tons of, STRIKEOUTS i mean over one per, inning
- 54:12Speaker 5: low walk, rate and he's allowing so few hits that
- 54:16Speaker 5: he's almost allowing only one hit every two.
- 54:18Speaker 2: Winnings very very.
- 54:20Speaker 5: Good but as you might have just seen BECAUSE i
- 54:22Speaker 5: jumped the gun on, it he's been bad Against toronto
- 54:26Speaker 5: in thirty two at. Bats toronto has actually matched up
- 54:29Speaker 5: well against. Him toronto has a four to thirty eight
- 54:31Speaker 5: average against, him nine to thirty NINE, ops three to
- 54:35Speaker 5: two strikeout walk. Ratio so this starting pitching matchup looks
- 54:39Speaker 5: like it Favors trey Is savage here And toronto might
- 54:43Speaker 5: have a little bit of extra motivation trying to get.
- 54:45Speaker 2: A game in this.
- 54:46Speaker 5: Series, Here i'm gonna lean Towards toronto in this. Game,
- 54:51Speaker 5: uh you, KNOW i don't really want to do. IT
- 54:54Speaker 5: i don't THINK i.
- 54:54Speaker 2: Really want to Fade, schlittler BUT i think if you're
- 54:57Speaker 2: going to do, it this is Going this is one
- 54:59Speaker 2: of the WHERE i think you might actually be able
- 55:02Speaker 2: to do it and get a win out of.
- 55:04Speaker 5: It sixty six percent of, ticket sixty four percent of
- 55:07Speaker 5: the cash on The yankees money is agreeing With toronto,
- 55:10Speaker 5: HERE i THINK i might do.
- 55:12Speaker 2: It first Five, WELL i don't. KNOW i don't Like
- 55:14Speaker 2: toronto's bullpen that. Much but you're looking at like probably
- 55:17Speaker 2: a run line On toronto, Tho so.
- 55:19Speaker 5: MAYBE i would go full game on this because you,
- 55:23Speaker 5: know the motivation comes into Play. Toronto by the, way
- 55:26Speaker 5: they've covered a one and a half run line in
- 55:27Speaker 5: both games so far in this, series so obviously it's
- 55:31Speaker 5: not out of the. Question they lose by one, again
- 55:35Speaker 5: minus one seventy something is the price. Here but STILL
- 55:37Speaker 5: i think first five actually probably is still the better, approach,
- 55:40Speaker 5: though just BECAUSE i don't think you really want to
- 55:43Speaker 5: have to deal With toronto's, bullpen you know they might
- 55:46Speaker 5: give it. Up yankees' bullpen is at least a little bit.
- 55:48Speaker 5: Better so first five innings on The toronto run line
- 55:52Speaker 5: at plus half a run or something makes sense to
- 55:55Speaker 5: me in this one for You savage to Outpitch, schlitler
- 55:59Speaker 5: which it looks like the matchup numbers do dictate. That
- 56:03Speaker 5: so that's the WAY i would play that. GAME i
- 56:06Speaker 5: didn't get it right. YESTERDAY i Know Dylan cease did
- 56:09Speaker 5: not get the first five in and win. Yesterday good
- 56:12Speaker 5: THING i didn't add that to my. Card the couple
- 56:15Speaker 5: of plays THAT i liked THAT i didn't add to
- 56:16Speaker 5: my card yesterday were not.
- 56:17Speaker 2: Wins.
- 56:19Speaker 5: Although one of them is The cleveland calves they absolutely
- 56:22Speaker 5: should have, covered and one out. Right BUT i don't
- 56:25Speaker 5: want to talk about that game. Anymore i'm gonna be right.
- 56:27Speaker 5: BACK i still have two plays to give. OUT i
- 56:29Speaker 5: KNOW i haven't done it. Yet my two plays are
- 56:31Speaker 5: both in the night time, slate But i've given you
- 56:34Speaker 5: out on my leans so far THAT i THINK i
- 56:36Speaker 5: like the best Are Minnesota twins split bet run, line money, Line,
- 56:41Speaker 5: giants D backs over the, total And Braves miami first five.
- 56:46Speaker 5: Under probably those are my three favorites out of the
- 56:50Speaker 5: ones That i've talked about so. Far or sorry, over
- 56:54Speaker 5: sorry sorry, no, no first five? Under, yeah what AM
- 56:57Speaker 5: i talking?
- 56:58Speaker 2: About?
- 56:58Speaker 5: Yeah over In San francis Going diamondbacks over in that,
- 57:02Speaker 5: one which you, KNOW i think if you look at
- 57:04Speaker 5: look at the, matchup it seems pretty. Obvious and first
- 57:07Speaker 5: five Under braves Of miami that that those are my,
- 57:11Speaker 5: recommendations BUT i have not made those.
- 57:13Speaker 2: PLAYS i will be right back and THEN i will
- 57:16Speaker 2: get to my two. Plays all.
- 58:40Speaker 5: Right our next game up is a play for. Me
- 58:43Speaker 5: let me, See we're going back to The Red sox
- 58:47Speaker 5: And royal series here Hang on WHERE i gave out
- 58:51Speaker 5: a win two nights ago on The Red. SOX i
- 58:54Speaker 5: was correct about The Red sox yesterday as, well But
- 58:57Speaker 5: i'm doing a little bit of something different in this.
- 59:00Speaker 2: Game, here this, Game i'm gonna go first five innings
- 59:09Speaker 2: under the total of, four WHICH i see out.
- 59:12Speaker 5: There at even money right, now you can pay a
- 59:14Speaker 5: bit more to get under the four and a half
- 59:16Speaker 5: if you want, To but it was like minus one thirty,
- 59:18Speaker 5: something SO i was, like, EH i don't, Know i'll
- 59:21Speaker 5: just take the cheaper price and go under four and
- 59:25Speaker 5: hope that we get it. Here but OBVIOUSLY i like
- 59:27Speaker 5: the starting pitching matchup in this. ONE i don't really
- 59:30Speaker 5: trust the, bullpens So i'm keeping the bullpens out even
- 59:32Speaker 5: THOUGH i know The Red sox bullpen is. Good but
- 59:34Speaker 5: you'll see Why i'm doing this in a.
- 59:36Speaker 2: Second.
- 59:37Speaker 5: Now The Red sox have won both games in the
- 59:39Speaker 5: series so. Far neither team plays, tomorrow so, Yes Kansas
- 59:44Speaker 5: city is trying to avoid a. Sweep heer The Red.
- 59:47Speaker 5: Sox who do they playing, Next. MINNESOTA i don't really
- 59:52Speaker 5: know that that's necessarily to look ahead of The. MINNESOTA
- 59:54Speaker 5: i believe did beat The Red sox when they played them,
- 59:57Speaker 5: before so maybe The Red sox do look ahead to.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: That But i'm not gonna focus on the side.
- 1:00:02Speaker 5: HERE i think this game could go either way as
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: far as the, side BUT i like both starting. PITCHERS
- 1:00:08Speaker 5: i don't Like Kansas city's. Bullpen they also use five
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: relief pitchers, yesterday and here comes the. Problem The Red
- 1:00:15Speaker 5: sox also used a lot of their relief pitchers. Yesterday
- 1:00:19Speaker 5: chapman did not get used, though so he is available.
- 1:00:22Speaker 5: Today but they used five relief. Pictures So i'm just
- 1:00:25Speaker 5: gonna take the bullpen's out of the. Equation bullpens are
- 1:00:28Speaker 5: not resting And Kansas city's is, bad SO i just
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: don't really want to deal with. It Kansas city twenty
- 1:00:34Speaker 5: sixth in. Bullpen The Red sox have been really. Good
- 1:00:37Speaker 5: they're third now in bullpen AND i believe they're second
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: in bullpen era, now so this is a Good Red sox.
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: Bullpen Red sox pitching has been, good. Dude they have
- 1:00:47Speaker 5: a lot of good young, starters which we're gonna talk
- 1:00:49Speaker 5: we're gonna talk about in a.
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: Minute pretty good.
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: Starters but they're hitting needs to get, better. Dude Red
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: sox are twenty seventh in offense right. Now Kansas city
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: is twenty. First they haven't exactly been great. Either that's
- 1:01:02Speaker 5: good for us with an. Under we have two teams
- 1:01:04Speaker 5: that haven't been hitting. Well The Red sox actually did
- 1:01:07Speaker 5: break out a little bit last night with seven, runs
- 1:01:09Speaker 5: so you saw. It both bullpens got really. Used that's
- 1:01:13Speaker 5: kind of crazy that both bullpens saw that much usage
- 1:01:16Speaker 5: in a.
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: Game that was not an extra inning. GAME i don't know.
- 1:01:19Speaker 5: What the deal was with, that but we're gonna Get
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: Connelly early pitching for The Red sox. Here he's a young,
- 1:01:26Speaker 5: guy he's got. Talent he is pitching well so. Far
- 1:01:28Speaker 5: three point two to ONE era one point two. Whip
- 1:01:32Speaker 5: that whip has actually gone, down SO i like seeing
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: that he's been good on the. Road two point three
- 1:01:37Speaker 5: ROADYRA i Know Kansas city is not the pitcher friendly
- 1:01:41Speaker 5: park that it was prior to this year because they
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: moved the walls, in BUT i still think we can
- 1:01:45Speaker 5: get this under. Here early's pitching. Well he's got a
- 1:01:49Speaker 5: seventeen to four strike a walk ratio this.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: Month that's.
- 1:01:52Speaker 5: Good few were in the one hit per. Inning he's
- 1:01:54Speaker 5: allowed two and zero earned runs in his last two.
- 1:01:57Speaker 5: Outings aside from giving it up a little bit Again,
- 1:02:00Speaker 5: houston he's allowed three or fewer earned runs in every
- 1:02:02Speaker 5: start this, Season so you like to see that.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: He's allowed a decent amount below one hit per. Inning that's.
- 1:02:09Speaker 5: Good strikeout rate is almost one per inning pretty good as.
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: Well the walk rate is too. High that's the one
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: thing you'd like to see be fixed and you, know
- 1:02:18Speaker 5: it looks like it's trending in the right. Direction his
- 1:02:20Speaker 5: walk rate has gone down a bit, recently so that's
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: a good.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: Sign And Kansas city's never faced him, before so you,
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: KNOW i like.
- 1:02:27Speaker 5: That when a young pitcher that has, talent AS i always,
- 1:02:30Speaker 5: say is facing a lineup that has to figure him,
- 1:02:32Speaker 5: out that that is what happens a lot of the.
- 1:02:35Speaker 5: Time the opposing hitters struggle to figure that picture, out you,
- 1:02:40Speaker 5: know especially given that he is a lefty with some.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: Pretty nasty breaking. Stuff so.
- 1:02:45Speaker 5: You, KNOW i think that'll make it difficult for hitters
- 1:02:47Speaker 5: to be able to figure him out first couple of times.
- 1:02:49Speaker 5: Through Michael waka is pitching For Kansas. City he is
- 1:02:54Speaker 5: one of their best.
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: Pitchers. MAN i, mean he's been, Consistent he's been pretty
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: good throughout his.
- 1:02:59Speaker 5: Career he's been good this year two point eight THREE,
- 1:03:02Speaker 5: era point nine to nine. Whip he's been a little
- 1:03:04Speaker 5: bit better at home two point sixty three HOME. Era
- 1:03:07Speaker 5: so both pitchers have the better of their home road
- 1:03:10Speaker 5: splits here though for walk, cuts you, know his numbers
- 1:03:12Speaker 5: are not that different home and. Away walka is in
- 1:03:15Speaker 5: pretty good for him this month as. Well he doesn't
- 1:03:17Speaker 5: strike out a lot of, guys but he's only allowed
- 1:03:19Speaker 5: eleven hits in twenty, innings fourteen, strikeouts four, walks and
- 1:03:23Speaker 5: he's allowed three or fewer earned runs in all of
- 1:03:26Speaker 5: his outings this. Month he's only allowed more than three
- 1:03:28Speaker 5: twice this, season and one was at The a's. Stadium,
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: overall numbers look pretty. Good his strike out rates not that,
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: high but he hasn't really walked that many. Guys his
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: hit rate is really, low well below one per, inning
- 1:03:42Speaker 5: so his numbers look. Good and he's been good against
- 1:03:44Speaker 5: The Red sox throughout his. History fifty four at, bats
- 1:03:47Speaker 5: he's held him to a one point eighty five batting
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: average five sixty three, ops eleven to six strikeout walk.
- 1:03:54Speaker 5: Ratio that's all pretty good except for the walks isn't that,
- 1:03:57Speaker 5: Great but three of them Are Wilson, contreras who was
- 1:04:01Speaker 5: On Saint louis so they were the inter league. Rivals
- 1:04:05Speaker 5: but he's still Held contraras to a four for twenty
- 1:04:09Speaker 5: one clip as. Well SO i like how it sets
- 1:04:11Speaker 5: up for both. Starters we'll take the bullpens. Out the
- 1:04:14Speaker 5: money kind of looks like it's, agreeing but we have
- 1:04:17Speaker 5: ninety one percent of tickets ninety two percent of the
- 1:04:19Speaker 5: cash on the. Under but remember that's a full game situation,
- 1:04:23Speaker 5: there with the totals eight on the full. Game SO
- 1:04:25Speaker 5: i know four looks a little bit low for the
- 1:04:28Speaker 5: first five, innings but the odds makers know well eight
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: is juice to the under as. Well but the oddsbreakers
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: also know these are two pretty good starting pitchers. Here
- 1:04:36Speaker 5: but that's what we're going. With the money is indicating
- 1:04:38Speaker 5: on The Red sox for what that's, Worth Kids' city's
- 1:04:42Speaker 5: around minus one fifteen or, so basically fifty seven percent
- 1:04:46Speaker 5: of tickets on, them seventy percent of the cash on
- 1:04:48Speaker 5: The Red.
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: Sox public seems to Like walk.
- 1:04:51Speaker 5: Because they know who he is over, early but, Again
- 1:04:54Speaker 5: i'm not gonna try to figure out the side. HERE
- 1:04:57Speaker 5: i think it should be a low scoring. Game early
- 1:04:59Speaker 5: would BE i read on, It so that is What
- 1:05:01Speaker 5: i'm going. With of, course if it's a close, GAME
- 1:05:04Speaker 5: i think The Red sox have the advantage later in
- 1:05:06Speaker 5: the game because their bullpen is. Better but we're going
- 1:05:10Speaker 5: first five innings under four, There, gerald what's up? Many
- 1:05:15Speaker 5: they start hanging out, Toast, yes that's, Me i'm. Toast
- 1:05:21Speaker 5: we're gonna start losing plays, man BECAUSE i can't keep this.
- 1:05:24Speaker 5: Up milwaukee and The. Cubs this is ON Espn. Unlimited
- 1:05:28Speaker 5: this series continues.
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: TOMORROW i.
- 1:05:30Speaker 5: Believe, no Actually i'm, wrong my, Mistake i'm. Wrong, actually
- 1:05:34Speaker 5: you know, WHAT i, Know i'm wrong Because milwaukee.
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: Plays The dodgers. Next so does that mean does that
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: mean they're gonna start looking? Ahead?
- 1:05:42Speaker 5: MAYBE i mean this is a this is a huge, series,
- 1:05:45Speaker 5: though but they've already won the first two games of
- 1:05:47Speaker 5: the Series milwaukee, has so maybe they do start looking
- 1:05:50Speaker 5: ahead to The dodgers after both teams actually Have tomorrow.
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: Off The cubs have lost four in a. Row they're
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: not that, bad. Though The cubs are still a good, team.
- 1:06:00Speaker 5: DUDE i, Mean milwaukee's, good but The cubs are gonna
- 1:06:04Speaker 5: have to go up against another good starting pitcher, Here
- 1:06:06Speaker 5: So i'm, not you, know running to the window to want.
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: To play The cubs here or to play The. COBS
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: i should.
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: Say cubs used four relief pitchers. Yesterday milwaukee used four as,
- 1:06:20Speaker 5: well But Chad patrick only came in for three, pitches
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: but he's kind of a long relief.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Guy.
- 1:06:25Speaker 5: Usually bullpens have both been pretty. Good The cubs are
- 1:06:28Speaker 5: Eighth brewers. Twelfth brewers have a good BULLPEN, era Though
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: cubs are fourth in. Offense The brewers have not been
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: as good, offensively but they are sixteenth now so they
- 1:06:39Speaker 5: are starting to hit. Better brewers Have Kyle harrison pitching
- 1:06:44Speaker 5: Red sox should not have traded him. Away he's been really.
- 1:06:46Speaker 5: Good two point zero NINE, era one point one to nine.
- 1:06:49Speaker 5: Whip he's been a little bit worse on the, road
- 1:06:51Speaker 5: but two point five ONE e r ray is still.
- 1:06:53Speaker 5: Good he's been good this, month eighteen to five strike
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: a walk. Ratio he's allowed two or fewer and runs
- 1:07:00Speaker 5: in every outing on the entire, season although some of
- 1:07:04Speaker 5: his some of his outings haven't been that, deep but
- 1:07:06Speaker 5: still he's ALLOWED i, mean he's. Gone he's had way
- 1:07:11Speaker 5: over one strike up er, inning hasn't allowed that many,
- 1:07:14Speaker 5: walks and he's allowed pretty few hits below one per.
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: Inning, yeah he's pitching, well we get.
- 1:07:20Speaker 5: It and The cubs have basically not seen him very.
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: Much they have six at bats against, him four hitters
- 1:07:26Speaker 5: have faced, him and they're zero for six with two
- 1:07:28Speaker 5: strikeouts against him and no, Walks so they don't have
- 1:07:31Speaker 5: anybody who's ever reached base against him before he's hard to, get,
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: man but it looks like it sets up nicely For
- 1:07:37Speaker 5: harrison and the hitters that haven't seen him before him,
- 1:07:41Speaker 5: again they might struggle to figure him out early. On
- 1:07:43Speaker 5: and he is also a lefty by the, Way so,
- 1:07:48Speaker 5: yeah So harrison sets up pretty well in that in that,
- 1:07:52Speaker 5: GAME i think for all those. Reasons Edward cabrera is
- 1:07:55Speaker 5: pitching for The. Cubs he's been, good but his whip
- 1:07:58Speaker 5: is getting a little bit high for my.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: Liking.
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: Here he's got a four point oh SIX, era one
- 1:08:04Speaker 5: point three to one. Whip he's got to get that whip, down.
- 1:08:06Speaker 5: Dude he's been better at home, though three point six HOMEY.
- 1:08:10Speaker 5: Ra he's struggled this month, though six point three to
- 1:08:13Speaker 5: TWO era this. Month strike out rate's been high more
- 1:08:17Speaker 5: than one per, inning but he's allowed well over one
- 1:08:19Speaker 5: hit per. Inning and he's had six walks this.
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: Month.
- 1:08:22Speaker 5: Now he's had two of those starts on the, road
- 1:08:24Speaker 5: but one of them was At. Texas that's not a
- 1:08:26Speaker 5: good sign if you go into a pitcher's paradise against
- 1:08:30Speaker 5: a bad offense and you don't do well. There cabrera
- 1:08:32Speaker 5: looks like he's out of form right. Now, Man his
- 1:08:35Speaker 5: strike out rate over the course of the season is,
- 1:08:37Speaker 5: low although.
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: He's actually increased that.
- 1:08:40Speaker 5: Recently usually he's a good strikeout, pitcher but his strike
- 1:08:42Speaker 5: out rates not as high as you would. Think this,
- 1:08:45Speaker 5: year he's allowed fewer than one hit per, inning which is,
- 1:08:47Speaker 5: good but his walks have been a. Concern he's, yeah
- 1:08:50Speaker 5: he's walked too many people this. Year that's been the
- 1:08:53Speaker 5: main concern with. Him Against, milwaukee he has decent numbers
- 1:08:57Speaker 5: and forty one a bats to forty four batting allowed
- 1:09:00Speaker 5: seven oh one ops six to one strike a.
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: Walk.
- 1:09:04Speaker 5: Ratiom you, KNOW i, considered LIKE i was thinking about
- 1:09:09Speaker 5: maybe an under in this, game BECAUSE i normally like
- 1:09:11Speaker 5: both these starting, pitchers BUT i.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: Worry About cabrera's.
- 1:09:14Speaker 5: Form The cubs are favored in around minus one eighteen
- 1:09:18Speaker 5: or so sixty seven percent of, tickets sixty percent of
- 1:09:21Speaker 5: the cash on, them so the money is indicating Towards.
- 1:09:23Speaker 5: Milwaukee the money is hitting the. Under but the total
- 1:09:27Speaker 5: came out at like basically a, seven and it immediately
- 1:09:30Speaker 5: fell to six and a half and it's already teetering on,
- 1:09:34Speaker 5: six which is. Ridiculous but you know that that means
- 1:09:36Speaker 5: that the wind is blowing in At. Wrigley the wind
- 1:09:39Speaker 5: has a huge effect if you see a six and a.
- 1:09:41Speaker 5: HALF i know we have a decent starting pitching matchup,
- 1:09:44Speaker 5: here but this total would not be that low unless
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: the wind was also blowing in which it must.
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: Be but you, know, me the key number, SEVEN i
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: just don't want to do.
- 1:09:53Speaker 5: IT i worry About cabrera's current form, anyway so that
- 1:09:57Speaker 5: took the under kind of off the table for.
- 1:09:59Speaker 4: Me.
- 1:09:59Speaker 5: Anyway milwaukee is definitely worth considering in this, game, THOUGH
- 1:10:03Speaker 5: i Think harrison looks really. Good cabrera is kind of
- 1:10:06Speaker 5: struggling right. Now HARRISON i think has the slightly better
- 1:10:10Speaker 5: of the matchup to the. Bullpen's you, KNOW i wouldn't
- 1:10:13Speaker 5: really see a need to take the bullpen out of
- 1:10:17Speaker 5: the equation For milwaukee, there ALTHOUGH i think they might
- 1:10:19Speaker 5: have used their closer yesterday let me say they Did,
- 1:10:22Speaker 5: miguil but, STILL i, MEAN i Think milwaukee in the
- 1:10:26Speaker 5: full game makes some sense in that, one but that
- 1:10:28Speaker 5: is not on my card or.
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: Anything the next game.
- 1:10:31Speaker 5: Up Is Pittsburgh Saint. Louis they've only played one game
- 1:10:34Speaker 5: in the series so. Far Saint louis won. Again pittsburgh
- 1:10:38Speaker 5: is still mired in a losing streak. HERE i thought
- 1:10:42Speaker 5: they would win yesterday with the better of the starting
- 1:10:44Speaker 5: pitcher match up there, yesterday And PITTSBURGH i think is
- 1:10:48Speaker 5: the better. Team Still i'm not Buying Saint louis's records still,
- 1:10:52Speaker 5: man BUT i don't think this is necessarily the spot
- 1:10:55Speaker 5: to want to Play, pittsburgh although when you look up the,
- 1:10:57Speaker 5: Matchup when you look at the, MATCHUP i don't think
- 1:10:59Speaker 5: it's like out of the. Question pittsburgh used four relief
- 1:11:03Speaker 5: pitchers yesterday and their bullpen's not really that. Good neither
- 1:11:07Speaker 5: Was Saint, louis As Saint louis used five relief, pitchers
- 1:11:10Speaker 5: so a lot of relief pitcher usage yesterday and the
- 1:11:13Speaker 5: bullpens are not that. Good Saint louis twenty, Second pittsburgh twenty.
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: First.
- 1:11:18Speaker 5: Hitting both teams have been decent, Offensively pittsburgh, Tenth Saint louis.
- 1:11:23Speaker 5: Eleventh looking at the starting, PITCHERS i, mean these are
- 1:11:27Speaker 5: obviously not name pitchers, here but they might be better than you.
- 1:11:30Speaker 5: Think pittsburgh is going With Carmen, molodzinsky who does not
- 1:11:34Speaker 5: have great numbers on the season four point FOUR era
- 1:11:37Speaker 5: one point four to four whip but well and also
- 1:11:41Speaker 5: he's not that good on the. Road four point nine
- 1:11:43Speaker 5: to FOUR era on the road's not, good but this
- 1:11:46Speaker 5: is a pitcher friendly. Ballpark he's done okay in his
- 1:11:49Speaker 5: last two, outings except he just doesn't strike guys.
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: Out but he's allowed two earned runs in each of,
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: them which isn't too.
- 1:11:55Speaker 5: Bad but it was At San francisco against a weak
- 1:11:58Speaker 5: offense and a pitcher friendly and Against colorado at, home
- 1:12:02Speaker 5: and they're not good offensively on the. Road but if
- 1:12:05Speaker 5: you look at his numbers, overall they're not that. Bad
- 1:12:07Speaker 5: he's got almost one strike up per. Inning he has
- 1:12:10Speaker 5: a lot too many, hits but it's not that, many
- 1:12:12Speaker 5: more than one hit per. Inning as walk, rate you,
- 1:12:15Speaker 5: know probably should be lower than it. Is but his
- 1:12:18Speaker 5: numbers are not like, egregious and his numbers Against Saint
- 1:12:21Speaker 5: louis are actually. Good he's got thirty nine at bats against,
- 1:12:24Speaker 5: them two h five average, allowed five forty four, ohps
- 1:12:27Speaker 5: fourteen to three strike out walk ratio some.
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: Load zitski might actually do okay in this. Game he's
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: going up Against.
- 1:12:34Speaker 5: Michael, McGreevy who actually has good numbers this year For
- 1:12:37Speaker 5: Saint louis two point ONE era point eighty eight. Whip
- 1:12:42Speaker 5: somehow he's pitching, well even though he's not really a
- 1:12:44Speaker 5: guy that goes out and dominates, hitters you know WHAT i? Mean,
- 1:12:47Speaker 5: Uh Saint, louis by the, way won that game in
- 1:12:49Speaker 5: extra innings last, night So Mike lean towards The pirates
- 1:12:53Speaker 5: wasn't really that far off in that. Game, McGreevy though
- 1:12:58Speaker 5: he's been, good he's been really good at home one
- 1:13:00Speaker 5: point one seventy. Ra he's not necessarily a GUY i
- 1:13:03Speaker 5: really want to, fade you. Know this, month he's allowed
- 1:13:06Speaker 5: one run total in eighteen. Innings his team has won
- 1:13:09Speaker 5: all three of his, outings including shutting out The dodgers
- 1:13:12Speaker 5: for six, innings including pitching on the road at The A's.
- 1:13:16Speaker 5: Stadium fifteen to six strikeout walk ratio over that span
- 1:13:20Speaker 5: isn't exactly, excellent but nine hits all out in eighteen
- 1:13:24Speaker 5: innings and one run a, Lot i'm not gonna argue with.
- 1:13:26Speaker 5: That and the start before that was really good as.
- 1:13:28Speaker 5: Well Against, seattle he's allowed three or fewer earned runs
- 1:13:31Speaker 5: and all but one start two or fewer and all
- 1:13:35Speaker 5: but one all but. Two excuse, me this, season he's
- 1:13:39Speaker 5: just not putting guys on, base, dude his hit rate
- 1:13:41Speaker 5: is really. Low his walk rate is pretty low as.
- 1:13:44Speaker 5: Well his strikeout rate is. Low he doesn't strike guys,
- 1:13:47Speaker 5: out but he's still getting guys to you, know he's
- 1:13:50Speaker 5: getting guys out Against pittsburgh though his numbers are not
- 1:13:54Speaker 5: really that, good but it's a small. Sample fifteen at
- 1:13:57Speaker 5: bats they only have five hitters have faced him four
- 1:13:59Speaker 5: hundred batting average though thirteen seventy one ops five to
- 1:14:03Speaker 5: one strike a walk. Ratium you, know this game still
- 1:14:07Speaker 5: reads as like an early under to, me, Though LIKE
- 1:14:10Speaker 5: i think both starting pitchers might actually do okay.
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: Here McGreevy does have the.
- 1:14:14Speaker 5: Lesser of the match up, here So i'm not gonna you,
- 1:14:18Speaker 5: KNOW i THINK i would lean To pittsburgh slightly as.
- 1:14:21Speaker 5: WELL i think PROBABLY i prefer under in the first
- 1:14:24Speaker 5: five total seven and a, half which is a really low.
- 1:14:27Speaker 5: Total so the oddsmakers are kind of telling you something with.
- 1:14:29Speaker 5: That BUT i don't like the. Bullpens we have fifty
- 1:14:32Speaker 5: to fifty ticket percentage on the, total but fifty six
- 1:14:36Speaker 5: percent of the cash on the under first five makes
- 1:14:39Speaker 5: some sense to. Me, again, also a lean Towards pittsburgh
- 1:14:42Speaker 5: makes some sense to me as. Well with the matchup
- 1:14:46Speaker 5: numbers for the starting pitcher actually mean a little bit,
- 1:14:48Speaker 5: better even THOUGH i worry because he's not the better picture,
- 1:14:51Speaker 5: though so that does worry. Me we have sixty percent of,
- 1:14:54Speaker 5: ticket sixty four percent of the cash On Saint, louis
- 1:14:57Speaker 5: they're like minus one sixteen or.
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: So there do with all that information what you.
- 1:15:02Speaker 5: Want the next game up will be my other, play
- 1:15:09Speaker 5: which is in The Dodgers padres. Series and this game
- 1:15:12Speaker 5: is not on one of THE tv, stations which is
- 1:15:15Speaker 5: interesting because these, teams it's a huge.
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: Series they split the first two games of the. Series
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: these teams are back and forth and you, know battling
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: for first place in the division right.
- 1:15:26Speaker 5: Now these teams do not play, TOMORROW i don't think
- 1:15:31Speaker 5: so this is for the series. Here dodgers are obviously
- 1:15:35Speaker 5: the better team, Though but where are we going with? This,
- 1:15:37Speaker 5: well hold, on we're going with another first five under.
- 1:15:42Speaker 5: Here AND i saw this one about minus one. Fifteen
- 1:15:45Speaker 5: this one is not as cheap as the other ONE
- 1:15:47Speaker 5: i gave out for obvious. REASONS i, mean we Have
- 1:15:50Speaker 5: San diego is a very pitcher friendly ballpark and show
- 1:15:53Speaker 5: hey otanious, pitching so that has something to do with.
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: It BUT i still think this is a pretty good number.
- 1:16:00Speaker 5: Bullpen Whyse San diego did use a lot of their
- 1:16:02Speaker 5: relief pitchers, yesterday so because you might, think why AM
- 1:16:04Speaker 5: i going first five here instead of full game when we,
- 1:16:07Speaker 5: have Like San diego basically has any elite bullpen and
- 1:16:11Speaker 5: The dodgers' bullpen is good as. Well well you can
- 1:16:13Speaker 5: see right, Here San diego used five relief. Pitchers, yes
- 1:16:16Speaker 5: to Name, miller two days in a row had to, Pitch.
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: SO i just want to avoid. THAT i don't like,
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: that AND i believe these teams went to. Extras did? They,
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: no they did, not my.
- 1:16:27Speaker 5: Mistake The dodgers won in regulation yesterday five to, four but,
- 1:16:32Speaker 5: whatever and then The dodgers on their end used a
- 1:16:34Speaker 5: lot of relief pitching, too a little bit, less but
- 1:16:37Speaker 5: they used five as. Well So i'm just gonna avoid
- 1:16:40Speaker 5: the bullpens. HERE i know they're both good and they
- 1:16:43Speaker 5: might pitch well, again But i'm gonna go first five.
- 1:16:45Speaker 5: Here San diego is ranked sixth in, bullpen but we
- 1:16:49Speaker 5: know they have a really good, bullpen including the best
- 1:16:51Speaker 5: closer in the. Universe but he's not gonna be able
- 1:16:54Speaker 5: to pitch today unless they're. Insane and then.
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: The dodgers are number two in.
- 1:16:59Speaker 5: Bullpen they're bullpen has been shockingly good this year after
- 1:17:02Speaker 5: that was their one like big issue last. Year dodgers
- 1:17:06Speaker 5: are number one in offense as. Well they have a
- 1:17:08Speaker 5: way better offense Than San. Diego San diego's twenty, ninth
- 1:17:13Speaker 5: ALTHOUGH i think based on who they, have they they
- 1:17:15Speaker 5: got to be better than.
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: That but, still.
- 1:17:19Speaker 5: The dodgers are the concern here because they hit. Well
- 1:17:21Speaker 5: they hit well on the, road and YESTERDAY i said
- 1:17:24Speaker 5: that The dodgers with the highest scoring team on the,
- 1:17:26Speaker 5: road BUT i actually think it's The, Braves so my
- 1:17:28Speaker 5: mistake with. THAT i think The braves are actually higher.
- 1:17:30Speaker 5: Scoring but both of those offenses are really. Good but
- 1:17:34Speaker 5: we're gonna look for these pitchers to actually keep the
- 1:17:36Speaker 5: offenses in check a little. Bit shoeotani is pitching for The, dodgers,
- 1:17:40Speaker 5: obviously that side of it is gonna look good to.
- 1:17:42Speaker 5: EVERYBODY i, mean, Dude, Shoeotani LIKE i don't even know.
- 1:17:47Speaker 5: Him is he one of the best baseball players?
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: Ever, like because he's an elite, hitter but he's also
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: like he's pitching like a cy young pitcher.
- 1:17:55Speaker 5: Too he's got a point eight TWO era point eight to.
- 1:17:59Speaker 5: Whip he's been good both home and, away it doesn't really.
- 1:18:04Speaker 5: Matter he's got at least six innings in every, outing
- 1:18:07Speaker 5: and he's had four shutouts compared to three non, shutouts
- 1:18:13Speaker 5: and he's only allowed four earned runs over the course
- 1:18:15Speaker 5: of the entire. Season he's got more than one strike
- 1:18:18Speaker 5: up per, inning a low walk, rate and he's allowed
- 1:18:21Speaker 5: almost one hit every two winnings as, well.
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: Which is very low as.
- 1:18:24Speaker 5: Well he's been completely, dominant although you, know you look
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: at the lineups that he's faced a lot of weak
- 1:18:30Speaker 5: lineups in, there so maybe he's not this, good but
- 1:18:33Speaker 5: we know he's. Good And San diego qualifies as a
- 1:18:35Speaker 5: weak lineup right now as. Well and they haven't really
- 1:18:38Speaker 5: hit him that. Well they have fifty two at bats against,
- 1:18:40Speaker 5: him two thirty one, average six thirty two, ohps thirteen,
- 1:18:44Speaker 5: strikeouts four. Walks, generally, Yeah choeotani has good numbers against.
- 1:18:48Speaker 5: Them Randy vasquez is pitching for The, padres AND i
- 1:18:52Speaker 5: know the advanced analytics guys don't like, him And i've
- 1:18:56Speaker 5: been saying THAT i don't like him in recent years
- 1:18:58Speaker 5: because his walk number was crazy, high his whip was too,
- 1:19:02Speaker 5: high but right now that's not the. Case he's got
- 1:19:04Speaker 5: a two point six to eighty orra one point one
- 1:19:06Speaker 5: to one. Whip he's pitched well this. Season he hasn't
- 1:19:10Speaker 5: been as good at, home which doesn't really make a
- 1:19:11Speaker 5: whole lot of sense because it's a pitcher friendly stadium
- 1:19:16Speaker 5: AND i know we're getting the worst of his home
- 1:19:17Speaker 5: road splits, here but three point eighty six is not
- 1:19:20Speaker 5: exactly a bad era.
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: Pitch.
- 1:19:24Speaker 5: Well the last time he was here at home Against Saint,
- 1:19:26Speaker 5: louis and they're a team that can hit, decently so
- 1:19:28Speaker 5: that's not a bad. Sign then he turned around and
- 1:19:31Speaker 5: shut Out seattle on the road in a pitcher friendly.
- 1:19:34Speaker 5: Ballpark but, Still he's got an eleven to two strikeout
- 1:19:37Speaker 5: walk ratio this month and has a lot fewer than
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: one hit per, inning so he's in pretty good form
- 1:19:41Speaker 5: right now over his last two outings overall this, season
- 1:19:46Speaker 5: not a high strikeout rate, really but he's a lot
- 1:19:48Speaker 5: fewer than one hipper. Inning his walk rate is reasonably
- 1:19:51Speaker 5: low as, well especially for. Him his walk rate is
- 1:19:54Speaker 5: usually way more concerning than it is, here so he
- 1:19:57Speaker 5: seems to be kind of figuring it. Out no walks
- 1:19:59Speaker 5: in his last two. Outings by the, Way i'm not
- 1:20:02Speaker 5: saying he's gonna not walk anybody, here but he also
- 1:20:05Speaker 5: has good numbers against The, dodgers believe it or.
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: Not in forty three at, bats he sell them to.
- 1:20:09Speaker 5: A one to eighty six batting, average five eighty three oh,
- 1:20:12Speaker 5: ps eight to three strike out walk. Ratio SO i
- 1:20:15Speaker 5: think both pitchers actually can come in and pitch well. Here,
- 1:20:18Speaker 5: obviously that's Why i'm doing this first five.
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: Under.
- 1:20:22Speaker 5: Dodgers padres is my play. Here the money isn't really
- 1:20:26Speaker 5: indicating one way or the. Other we have ninety one
- 1:20:28Speaker 5: percent of tickets and cash on the, under but the
- 1:20:31Speaker 5: total's low for the full. Game it's seven and a
- 1:20:33Speaker 5: half juice to the. Unders the odds makers are kind
- 1:20:36Speaker 5: of telling you they think it's gonna be low. Scoring
- 1:20:38Speaker 5: the money is indicating towards The podres AND i talk
- 1:20:42Speaker 5: about this a. Lot WHEN i go with an, UNDER
- 1:20:44Speaker 5: i think that's a good sign because the more like
- 1:20:47Speaker 5: the better. Pitcher otani is being faded in the, market
- 1:20:51Speaker 5: you know WHAT i. Mean and that money is not
- 1:20:54Speaker 5: saying That otani's gonna do, bad you know WHAT i.
- 1:20:56Speaker 5: Mean that money is basically saying we think The dodgers are.
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: Too heavy a. Favorite we Think vazquez.
- 1:21:01Speaker 4: Can hang in this.
- 1:21:02Speaker 5: Game SO i like seeing, that seeing the lesser of
- 1:21:05Speaker 5: the pitcher getting the money when you want to go.
- 1:21:08Speaker 5: UNDER i like that seventy percent of, tickets fifty seven
- 1:21:11Speaker 5: percent of the cash on The, dodgers the money indicating
- 1:21:14Speaker 5: Towards San, diego and part of it is, yes with The,
- 1:21:17Speaker 5: dodgers and With otani on the, mind you're obviously paying
- 1:21:19Speaker 5: too heavy of a.
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: Price they're around minus. ONE i, mean the line's all
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: over the. Place it's minus one ninety at some of the,
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: books but then The vegas sports books are all in
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: the minus one seventy one to eighty, range so very.
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: Weird the the number is way higher on The dodgers
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: at the online, books which is interesting.
- 1:21:40Speaker 5: BECAUSE i think that, means you, know because These vegas books,
- 1:21:42Speaker 5: HERE i, think like The Super book and, WHATEVER i
- 1:21:45Speaker 5: think those books cater more to. Professionals SO i think
- 1:21:48Speaker 5: that's also indicating that the public money is on The dodgers.
- 1:21:52Speaker 5: Here the professional money seems to be fading them to some.
- 1:21:55Speaker 5: Extent but we're going under vers five in that, one
- 1:21:58Speaker 5: and then we have one more baseball Game a's At.
- 1:22:01Speaker 5: Anaheim these teams do play, TOMORROW i think so this
- 1:22:05Speaker 5: is a four game series that continues.
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: Tomorrow these teams will split the verse two of the.
- 1:22:10Speaker 5: Series the first, game you, Know anaheim won in ridiculous
- 1:22:15Speaker 5: fashion WITH. Jt gin had a no hitter going for
- 1:22:18Speaker 5: The a's into the ninth inning and then he in
- 1:22:20Speaker 5: two at. Bats it went from no hitter to losing
- 1:22:23Speaker 5: the game on a walkoff home. Run he gave up
- 1:22:25Speaker 5: a hit and then a home.
- 1:22:26Speaker 4: Run just.
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: Great and Then anaheim might have been hung over or.
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: SOMETHING i don't know what that.
- 1:22:33Speaker 5: Was they were in a letdown, spot who, knows but
- 1:22:35Speaker 5: they wound up getting crushed yesterday fourteen to. Six anaheim
- 1:22:40Speaker 5: not a very good team. Though bullpen, Wise anheim's not
- 1:22:44Speaker 5: a good. Bullpen these three relief pitchers. Yesterday The a's
- 1:22:47Speaker 5: are not a good bullpen, either and they use five
- 1:22:49Speaker 5: but they only Use sterner for four, pitches so do
- 1:22:53Speaker 5: what you want with that. Info The a's are twenty
- 1:22:55Speaker 5: fourth and Bullpen anaheim is worse at twenty. SEVENTH i
- 1:23:00Speaker 5: keep Hearing revving. Engines, man it just really really fucking
- 1:23:03Speaker 5: pisses me. Off anaheim's bullpen is really really bad, though
- 1:23:08Speaker 5: like their bullpen era is almost as bad As, houston's
- 1:23:11Speaker 5: so they are one of the absolute worst. Bullpens a's
- 1:23:14Speaker 5: have been a good hitting, team the Seventh anaheim has
- 1:23:16Speaker 5: fallen completely off offensively and they're twenty, fourth so they're
- 1:23:21Speaker 5: not playing good.
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: Baseball this pitching matchup is not exactly.
- 1:23:25Speaker 5: Elite Aaron savallee is pitching for The a's and he
- 1:23:28Speaker 5: has a two point SEVEN, era which looks, good but
- 1:23:31Speaker 5: a one point three to nine whip tells you that
- 1:23:33Speaker 5: THAT era is. Misleading, uh savale has not actually been that.
- 1:23:38Speaker 5: Good that whip is definitely too. High he's been good
- 1:23:40Speaker 5: on the road, though two point oh eight road E.
- 1:23:43Speaker 5: Ra he's been good in his last two, starts giving
- 1:23:46Speaker 5: up tour in runs combined across ten.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: Innings his last four starts have actually been pretty.
- 1:23:51Speaker 5: Good he's given up two or fewer earned runs in
- 1:23:54Speaker 5: all four of them, actually and The a's have won
- 1:23:56Speaker 5: his last.
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: Three but strike out walk ratio is a little. Concerning
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: it's fourteen.
- 1:24:02Speaker 5: To seven over that, span so that's not that, great
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: and he's allowed more than one hit per inning over that,
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: span so it looks like he's getting a little bit.
- 1:24:10Speaker 5: Lucky his strikeout rate is not. High he's an extreme
- 1:24:14Speaker 5: fly ball, pitcher which is not great well considering, that
- 1:24:18Speaker 5: though his numbers actually don't look that bad considering he
- 1:24:20Speaker 5: pitches in that horrible as, stadium given that he's that
- 1:24:24Speaker 5: extreme towards the fly, ball and he somehow only allowed
- 1:24:26Speaker 5: six home runs this, year.
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: You know that's.
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: INTERESTING i guess he's somehow avoiding. That but his walk
- 1:24:34Speaker 5: rate's a little. High he's allowed more than one hit per.
- 1:24:37Speaker 5: Inning so, overall, yeah his, numbers HIS era is, misleading
- 1:24:41Speaker 5: like he's worse than. That his numbers Against anaheim are
- 1:24:44Speaker 5: not particularly good. Either in eighty four at bats two
- 1:24:46Speaker 5: ninety eight batting average allowed seven to seventy three oh
- 1:24:49Speaker 5: ps not. Good twenty to six strikeout walk ratio is,
- 1:24:53Speaker 5: good but the rest of those numbers are. Not he
- 1:24:56Speaker 5: is going to be going up Against Jack, kohanowitz who
- 1:24:58Speaker 5: is probably the worst of the two. Pitchers though four
- 1:25:01Speaker 5: point five SIX, era one point three six whip that's not.
- 1:25:04Speaker 5: Good he's been better at, home at least three point
- 1:25:07Speaker 5: four to two home the, ra so he does pitch
- 1:25:10Speaker 5: better at. Home he had a stretch where he was
- 1:25:12Speaker 5: actually pitching a little bit better but he hasn't been good.
- 1:25:15Speaker 5: Recently anaheim's lost six starts in a row of His
- 1:25:18Speaker 5: some of those were not his, fault but his last
- 1:25:20Speaker 5: two starts he allowed six or in runs in each of.
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: Them that is not.
- 1:25:24Speaker 5: Good this, month he's got a ten to seven strike
- 1:25:27Speaker 5: out walk ratio well over one hit a lot per.
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: Inning, yeah he's not pitching.
- 1:25:31Speaker 5: Well he's starting to pitch really poorly, again very low strikeout. Rate,
- 1:25:36Speaker 5: well he's you, know he doesn't strike guys. Out he
- 1:25:39Speaker 5: induces a lot of ground, balls which a lot of
- 1:25:42Speaker 5: times is good because it means you're getting.
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: Out but he's not.
- 1:25:45Speaker 5: Real even though he's a lot fewer than one hit per.
- 1:25:47Speaker 5: Inning he doesn't strike guys. Out but his walk rate
- 1:25:50Speaker 5: is really the. Concern his walk rate is way too.
- 1:25:52Speaker 5: High he's walking like one guy every two, winnings which
- 1:25:55Speaker 5: you cannot. Do and against the as his numbers are.
- 1:25:58Speaker 5: Bad eight at bats not a huge, sample but three
- 1:26:02Speaker 5: point fifty seven batting, average eleven to thirty four, ohps
- 1:26:06Speaker 5: seven to three strike out walk. Ratio none of those
- 1:26:08Speaker 5: numbers are that. GREAT i think over is the way
- 1:26:12Speaker 5: to go with this. GAME i don't like either starting.
- 1:26:14Speaker 5: PITCHER i mean both starting, pitchers, well both starting pitchers
- 1:26:19Speaker 5: might be worse than their era. Looks savali definitely, is
- 1:26:22Speaker 5: and the matchup numbers don't look particularly good for either of.
- 1:26:25Speaker 5: THEM i Know savally is a little bit, better but
- 1:26:28Speaker 5: the money's actually. Fading The a's eighty three percent of,
- 1:26:32Speaker 5: tickets seventy two percent of the cash on. Them they're
- 1:26:34Speaker 5: a favorite on the. Road bad times For anaheim Man.
- 1:26:38Speaker 5: Uh The a's are about minus one twenty on the.
- 1:26:40Speaker 5: Road BUT i Think over is the way to, go
- 1:26:42Speaker 5: even though he have eighty nine percent of tickets ninety
- 1:26:44Speaker 5: two percent of the cash on the over totals at
- 1:26:47Speaker 5: nine and a.
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: Half it's that high for a. Reason over would.
- 1:26:50Speaker 5: Be my lean in that, game BUT i don't like
- 1:26:53Speaker 5: it as much as some of those other. Ones so
- 1:26:54Speaker 5: you've got my plays and then my additional leans.
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: There let's go TO.
- 1:26:59Speaker 5: Wnba i'm actually gonna give out A wnba play. Here
- 1:27:03Speaker 5: even though the number has moved on the, Game we're
- 1:27:06Speaker 5: still gonna do. It it's going to be in the
- 1:27:09Speaker 5: late game though it's it's a really ugly. Game all
- 1:27:13Speaker 5: these games might be kind of. Ugly the second game
- 1:27:15Speaker 5: is a decent, matchup but the other two are, ugly
- 1:27:18Speaker 5: starting WITH Usa network having a double header here with
- 1:27:21Speaker 5: the first game.
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: Up Being portland At.
- 1:27:23Speaker 5: Indiana, Now indiana's only two and, two so the public
- 1:27:28Speaker 5: is probably gonna look at this and see That indiana
- 1:27:30Speaker 5: is a double digit favorite here and probably not gonna
- 1:27:33Speaker 5: want to lay the points With, Indiana like why would
- 1:27:35Speaker 5: you want to lay double digits with.
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: A two and two? Team?
- 1:27:37Speaker 5: Right but you, KNOW i Think indiana maybe give them
- 1:27:40Speaker 5: a pass for starting out a little bit slow because
- 1:27:44Speaker 5: Like clark And cunningham are both hurt to. Start they're
- 1:27:47Speaker 5: both hurt at the end of last, season so they
- 1:27:49Speaker 5: have to you, know regame their footing and chemistry or.
- 1:27:52Speaker 5: Whatever clark's been playing better. Recently they just won by
- 1:27:55Speaker 5: double digits Against. Seattle seattle is a bad, team but
- 1:27:58Speaker 5: STILL i think that, that's you, Know indiana's trending.
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: In the right direction.
- 1:28:04Speaker 5: Here that was a bounce back spot for them after
- 1:28:06Speaker 5: an ugly. Loss BUT i think they're trending in the right.
- 1:28:09Speaker 5: Direction this should be an easy game for them to.
- 1:28:11Speaker 5: WIN i think the only issue is maybe they start
- 1:28:14Speaker 5: looking ahead To Golden, state Because Golden state's a good,
- 1:28:16Speaker 5: team But, portland they're also two and. Two so again
- 1:28:20Speaker 5: people are gonna see the double digit spread here and,
- 1:28:23Speaker 5: think oh my, god to two and two. TEAMS i
- 1:28:25Speaker 5: want to take the huge underdog. Here how AM i
- 1:28:27Speaker 5: getting that many? Points, Well portland's not as good of a, team.
- 1:28:30Speaker 5: MAN i know they pulled off an upset against the
- 1:28:33Speaker 5: against The New York, liberty but they're only like one
- 1:28:37Speaker 5: of Their, yeah their only other wins Against.
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: Connecticut you, Know connecticut is possibly the worst team in the.
- 1:28:44Speaker 2: League so you're really gonna like my play THAT i have.
- 1:28:46Speaker 5: Tonight by the, Way, Yeah i'm not impressed by them
- 1:28:51Speaker 5: Beating connecticut by. One. Okay and now the problem For
- 1:28:54Speaker 5: portland is they have to travel away from home for
- 1:28:56Speaker 5: the first time this. Season they have not had a
- 1:28:59Speaker 5: road game yet this, season SO i think that's going
- 1:29:01Speaker 5: to be difficult for them to turn around two days
- 1:29:04Speaker 5: after their last game and have to play In. Indiana
- 1:29:07Speaker 5: indiana's definitely this significantly better. Team portland is, still you,
- 1:29:11Speaker 5: know kind of trying to figure it. Out like these
- 1:29:13Speaker 5: teams that had to go through an expansion, draft they
- 1:29:17Speaker 5: have to build up their. Chemistry it takes. TIME i
- 1:29:19Speaker 5: would lay the points With. Indiana it's not my play
- 1:29:22Speaker 5: but the money seems to be agreeing with. This portland
- 1:29:25Speaker 5: sixty three percent of, tickets sixty one percent of the.
- 1:29:27Speaker 5: Cash you have to lay thirteen, though or thirteen and
- 1:29:31Speaker 5: a half With, Indiana but that is the WAY i
- 1:29:33Speaker 5: would lean in that. Game and it's a pretty high,
- 1:29:35Speaker 5: total so more points are expected in that, game which
- 1:29:38Speaker 5: makes it easier for a team to cover a large.
- 1:29:40Speaker 5: Number dallas At chicago is the only really Competitive, well,
- 1:29:45Speaker 5: ACTUALLY i don't want to say. That the other game
- 1:29:46Speaker 5: should be competitive, too but this is the only competitive
- 1:29:49Speaker 5: game between good. Teams chicago's coming up a nice win Over,
- 1:29:53Speaker 5: minnesota although again it Was minnesota without call, here But,
- 1:29:57Speaker 5: chicago they look like a pretty decent team. Here, Man
- 1:30:00Speaker 5: they're three to one right. Now they've played all road
- 1:30:03Speaker 5: games so, far so this sets up an interesting scenario
- 1:30:06Speaker 5: where they've.
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: Been on the road for eleven twelve days whenever eleven.
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: Days so it is a return home.
- 1:30:13Speaker 5: Spot and you, KNOW i talk about this when a
- 1:30:15Speaker 5: team returns home from an actual long road.
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: Trip they have to get back to home. Life even
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: THOUGH i know this IS wnba we're talking.
- 1:30:23Speaker 5: About but STILL i think it is still a negative
- 1:30:25Speaker 5: returning on from a long road trip like, that you
- 1:30:27Speaker 5: can get. Distracted they Got minnesota on deck, again BUT
- 1:30:30Speaker 5: i think that would mean more if they just lost To.
- 1:30:32Speaker 5: Minnesota but the fact they beat, them maybe that makes
- 1:30:35Speaker 5: that a little bit less of a look. Ahead, STILL
- 1:30:37Speaker 5: i think it's a bit of a distracted spot. Here
- 1:30:40Speaker 5: but it is their home, opener so maybe they get
- 1:30:42Speaker 5: up for it because it's their first home. Game so
- 1:30:44Speaker 5: a couple of reasons WHY i don't really want to
- 1:30:46Speaker 5: fade them. Here maybe they get up for kind of
- 1:30:49Speaker 5: an Upstart dallas team that is gonna be probably a
- 1:30:52Speaker 5: decently competitive team this year with their draft picks that
- 1:30:56Speaker 5: they've made over the last couple of. SEASONS i, mean
- 1:31:00Speaker 5: they had one impressive win Over indiana so, far they
- 1:31:03Speaker 5: played all pretty competitive. Games though they almost Beat, atlanta
- 1:31:07Speaker 5: who's the pretty good. Team they almost Beat, minnesota who's
- 1:31:10Speaker 5: still pretty good even without their best, player and then
- 1:31:13Speaker 5: they Crushed. Washington So dallas's resume is not that. Bad
- 1:31:17Speaker 5: now they are starting a road. TRIP a lot of
- 1:31:19Speaker 5: times that is a focused spot when you start the road.
- 1:31:21Speaker 5: Trip BUT i don't love them coming off a blowout
- 1:31:24Speaker 5: either of. Them i'm gonna lean To dallas here BECAUSE
- 1:31:27Speaker 5: i THINK i would rather have the team starting a
- 1:31:29Speaker 5: road trip.
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: Than the team returning from.
- 1:31:31Speaker 5: One the money is disagreeing, though ninety ticket sixty six
- 1:31:36Speaker 5: percent of the cash On, dallas although they were they
- 1:31:39Speaker 5: open at one and a half and now they're laying.
- 1:31:41Speaker 5: Three though oddsmakers are telling you something With dallas laying
- 1:31:44Speaker 5: three points on the.
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: ROAD i don't know if there's an injury For chicago
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: or what the deal is.
- 1:31:49Speaker 5: There. Though chicago wasn't a good team last, year BUT
- 1:31:52Speaker 5: i think they're a decent team this. Year van Der
- 1:31:56Speaker 5: slute is still. Out she's one of their best, players
- 1:31:58Speaker 5: AND i don't think she's played this, year so that's
- 1:32:02Speaker 5: not really a huge.
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: Job, yeah she hasn't played yet this, year so that's.
- 1:32:05Speaker 5: Not a big change for. Them but, YEAH i mean
- 1:32:07Speaker 5: there are some injuries here on The chicago, side BUT
- 1:32:10Speaker 5: i would my opinion would be to lay the points With,
- 1:32:13Speaker 5: dallas BUT i don't really want to do, it and
- 1:32:15Speaker 5: that leaves my actual, play which is a real ugly
- 1:32:18Speaker 5: one In connecticut And.
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: Seattle this is the best bet for. ME i know
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: we're three and zero.
- 1:32:24Speaker 5: In THE wnba AND i would like to continue being.
- 1:32:26Speaker 5: Undefeated it's not possible BUT i do like the spot.
- 1:32:29Speaker 5: Here we're gonna Take, Connecticut, yep we're taking the worst
- 1:32:33Speaker 5: team in basketball here at plus one and a. Half
- 1:32:35Speaker 5: but the fact That seattle's only a one and a
- 1:32:38Speaker 5: half point, favorite that's telling you something Like seattle's really
- 1:32:43Speaker 5: on a downward. Spiral they're not very good this. YEAR i,
- 1:32:46Speaker 5: Know connecticut's a bad. Team why WOULD i want? Them
- 1:32:48Speaker 5: they're own five and you're basically asking them to win a. Game,
- 1:32:51Speaker 5: YEAH i, know BUT i like the situational set up.
- 1:32:55Speaker 5: Here connecticut has played a game finally on The West,
- 1:33:00Speaker 5: coast so they're on The west coast. Already they're only
- 1:33:02Speaker 5: going From portland To seattle, here so that's. Good that's
- 1:33:06Speaker 5: a decent. Sign connecticut As britney Grind. OR i, mean come, on,
- 1:33:10Speaker 5: man how bad could they? Be they have a dude
- 1:33:13Speaker 5: on their.
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: Team come, on But.
- 1:33:15Speaker 5: Connecticut, YEAH i, mean now that they're adjusted to The
- 1:33:17Speaker 5: pacific time, ZONE i.
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: Think that makes this a better. Spot and this is
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: a quick road revenge angle.
- 1:33:23Speaker 5: Because, yeah guess one On may, Tenth connecticut lost at
- 1:33:26Speaker 5: home To seattle eighty nine to eighty, Two SO i
- 1:33:29Speaker 5: Think seattle might not take them that, Seriously connecticut might
- 1:33:33Speaker 5: make some. Adjustments if you look at what happened in that,
- 1:33:35Speaker 5: Game connecticut could have won that. Game connecticut was actually
- 1:33:39Speaker 5: favored at home by one and a, half which you.
- 1:33:42Speaker 2: Know makes a kind of that basically makes sense based
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: on what this line is.
- 1:33:46Speaker 5: Here But seattle shot forty from three point, range so
- 1:33:51Speaker 5: that was a bit of an. OUTLIER i don't think
- 1:33:53Speaker 5: you're you're gonna see that happen, again SO i Think
- 1:33:55Speaker 5: seattle's gonna regress from three point.
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: Range seattle went to the line way. More they had
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: eleven more free throw attempts and they hit nine more free,
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: throws so that was an outlier as. WELL i think
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: we might see some regression From seattle there as.
- 1:34:09Speaker 5: Well connecticut shot kind of, normally But connecticut had way
- 1:34:13Speaker 5: more field goal. Attempts they had twelve more field goal
- 1:34:15Speaker 5: attempts in the, game made a couple, more and they
- 1:34:18Speaker 5: still lost the. Game so that kind of tells you
- 1:34:20Speaker 5: That connecticut probably should have been on the winning side
- 1:34:23Speaker 5: of this. Thing they had a lot of. Turnovers they're
- 1:34:26Speaker 5: gonna have to clean that, up but they lost the turnover.
- 1:34:28Speaker 5: Battle the one thing THAT i do like that's the
- 1:34:30Speaker 5: more predictable stat here Those connecticut won the rebounding battle by,
- 1:34:34Speaker 5: nine which makes sense if you Have griner in the middle.
- 1:34:37Speaker 5: There but, yeah that tells me That connecticut's the better
- 1:34:41Speaker 5: paint presence, team even though SOMEHOW i don't know How
- 1:34:44Speaker 5: seattle went to the line way, more because usually the
- 1:34:47Speaker 5: team that rebounds better is also the team that gets fouled,
- 1:34:50Speaker 5: more it goes to the line.
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: More that wasn't the.
- 1:34:52Speaker 5: Case BUT i like The connecticut out Rebounded. Seattle so
- 1:34:55Speaker 5: we have some shooting outliers here From, seattle a free throw,
- 1:35:00Speaker 5: disparity and then the rebounding indicator That connecticut was the better.
- 1:35:04Speaker 5: Team SO i like all. That so we have a
- 1:35:06Speaker 5: road revenge game. Here we have a, misleading misleading final.
- 1:35:12Speaker 5: Score in the first, game we Have, connecticut now being
- 1:35:15Speaker 5: adjusted to the time, zone probably hungry to get their first. Win.
- 1:35:19Speaker 5: SEATTLE i know people kind of think that they're a decent. Team,
- 1:35:22Speaker 5: obviously people think they're better Than, connecticut but they're not
- 1:35:25Speaker 5: a really good team this. Year. MAN i know they
- 1:35:27Speaker 5: played most of their games on the road so. Far
- 1:35:29Speaker 5: their only win was that win Against. Connecticut but they're
- 1:35:34Speaker 5: now returning.
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: Home from a road. Trip by the, Way seattle just.
- 1:35:37Speaker 5: Went To, Connecticut, Toronto, indiana and now they're returning home
- 1:35:40Speaker 5: to The west, coast so they're the team that actually
- 1:35:42Speaker 5: has to adjust to the time. Zone connecticut's already out,
- 1:35:45Speaker 5: There seattle's returning, home and they've been away for ten,
- 1:35:48Speaker 5: days so it is a return home spot For, connecticut
- 1:35:51Speaker 5: or excuse, me For seattle as, well so they're crossing
- 1:35:54Speaker 5: multiple time.
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: Zones they're returning home from the. ROAD i think that's
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: a bad, spot.
- 1:35:59Speaker 5: DUDE i think it's a tractive spot playing against the
- 1:36:01Speaker 5: team you already, beat a team that might be making
- 1:36:03Speaker 5: the adjustments against, you and they're coming up a game Against,
- 1:36:06Speaker 5: indiana which is a big, game even though they weren't
- 1:36:08Speaker 5: close to winning. It SO i would like this even
- 1:36:10Speaker 5: better If seattle had a close call Against, indiana which
- 1:36:14Speaker 5: they did. Not BUT i like the other aspects of.
- 1:36:17Speaker 5: This we're fading a team returning on from a road,
- 1:36:20Speaker 5: trip a team that might be a little bit.
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: Overrated it's road. Revenge, yeah the other team has the
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: way better travel, spot so let's do. It connecticut is
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: the play, here and the money seems like it.
- 1:36:32Speaker 5: Agrees seventy eight percent of tickets eighty eight percent of
- 1:36:35Speaker 5: the Casual. Connecticut, unfortunately the line open at three and
- 1:36:39Speaker 5: a half and now it's down to one and a.
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: Half it looks like it's some.
- 1:36:43Speaker 5: Books there might be some two's cropping back up, Though
- 1:36:46Speaker 5: SO i mean this, one you might be able to
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: wait and get a little bit of a better number on.
- 1:36:50Speaker 5: It but we're Getting connecticut as an underdog, Here SO
- 1:36:52Speaker 5: i like, that AND i would put some of the
- 1:36:54Speaker 5: bet on the money line as, well of, course because
- 1:36:57Speaker 5: that's WHAT i recommend when you play an, UNDERDOG i
- 1:36:59Speaker 5: recommend putting at least in that. Case, yeah ten percent
- 1:37:02Speaker 5: of it on the money line makes sense to. Me
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: usually that's WHAT i do when it's a small. SPREAD i,
- 1:37:07Speaker 5: mean when it's that small and there's a pretty good,
- 1:37:09Speaker 5: chance like if they, cover you know they're pretty much
- 1:37:12Speaker 5: winning out, right, Though so maybe a little bit more
- 1:37:14Speaker 5: of it might be in order for that. One BUT
- 1:37:16Speaker 5: i usually just do ten percent on the money line
- 1:37:18Speaker 5: when it's a, small small. Underdog when it's like a
- 1:37:22Speaker 5: double digit underdog or, GREATER i put like three percent
- 1:37:25Speaker 5: or less on, it all, RIGHT, nhl we do have
- 1:37:28Speaker 5: a Game vegas And colorado beginning their Series Western Conference
- 1:37:33Speaker 5: finals ON espn at EIGHT. PM i Think colorado is
- 1:37:38Speaker 5: gonna win the, series even THOUGH i Picked vegas in my.
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: Bracket vegas is not a good road. Team colorado is
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: a pretty big favorite. Here don't really think they're gonna
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: lose the.
- 1:37:47Speaker 5: Series colorado does have a little bit more time, off
- 1:37:51Speaker 5: but it's not that, much SO i don't think the
- 1:37:53Speaker 5: rust angle is really that big. Here colorado played On,
- 1:37:56Speaker 5: wednesday And i'm pretty Sure vegas played On, friday So
- 1:37:59Speaker 5: colorado has been off for a. Week vegas has been
- 1:38:01Speaker 5: off for five, days SO i don't think there's like
- 1:38:04Speaker 5: a big rest VERSUS russ thing. Here colorado did easily Beat.
- 1:38:09Speaker 5: MINNESOTA i think they would have struggled more Against, dallas, though.
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: Looking at the season series.
- 1:38:15Speaker 5: Here between the, two of, Course colorado has been really
- 1:38:17Speaker 5: good at Home vegas if you include overtime, Losses vegas is.
- 1:38:22Speaker 2: Not good on the. Road they're below five hundred on the.
- 1:38:24Speaker 5: Road i've included the overtime, losses but what Has vegas
- 1:38:27Speaker 5: done on the road during the playoffs is something to.
- 1:38:29Speaker 5: Consider they're actually four and two on the road in
- 1:38:34Speaker 5: the playoffs, though so that's actually.
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: Better So vegas has actually done well in the playoffs
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: on the.
- 1:38:41Speaker 5: Road but of, Course COLORADO i think has won every
- 1:38:43Speaker 5: home game during the. Playoffs they swept The kings and then,
- 1:38:47Speaker 5: yeah they won all three home. Games, yeah all three
- 1:38:49Speaker 5: home games Against. Minnesota So colorado's five and zero at.
- 1:38:52Speaker 5: Home so that's so they're not bad at. Home let's
- 1:38:55Speaker 5: just put it that. Way and if we look at
- 1:38:57Speaker 5: the season, Series colorado.
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: Did have the upper.
- 1:39:00Speaker 5: Hand during the season, series they only played three, times
- 1:39:05Speaker 5: And colorado won two of the. Three but the only
- 1:39:07Speaker 5: game they lost Was april, eleventh and you, know at that,
- 1:39:11Speaker 5: Point colorado had the like the number one seed already wrapped,
- 1:39:14Speaker 5: Up i'm pretty, sure so they really didn't need to
- 1:39:17Speaker 5: win that, game SO i don't think they really cared
- 1:39:19Speaker 5: about that. Game and still The knights had to win
- 1:39:22Speaker 5: that game in, overtime so that's not a good. Sign
- 1:39:26Speaker 5: and then the other that was At. Colorado the other
- 1:39:28Speaker 5: two games were both At, vegas and The avs won
- 1:39:32Speaker 5: both of, them although one of them was gonna. Shootout
- 1:39:34Speaker 5: BUT i dug into the box score here In colorado
- 1:39:36Speaker 5: was better in both, Games like they were the better
- 1:39:39Speaker 5: statistical team in both. Games SO i don't think this
- 1:39:43Speaker 5: is a particularly good matchup For, vegas even THOUGH i
- 1:39:46Speaker 5: did pick them to win in.
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: My, bracket BUT i was also that was at the
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: start of the, playoffs you, know where you were considering
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: The coloramo loose.
- 1:39:52Speaker 5: To dallas or if it might be the. Case, YEAH i,
- 1:39:57Speaker 5: Mean i'm gonna leave this game. ALONE i don't want
- 1:39:59Speaker 5: anything to do with. It both teams with big. LAYOFFS
- 1:40:01Speaker 5: i THINK i would lean under in this game is
- 1:40:04Speaker 5: probably the WAY i would. Go eighty seven percent of,
- 1:40:06Speaker 5: tickets eighty six percent of the cash on the, over
- 1:40:08Speaker 5: so the money seems to.
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: Agree total is, six but you know how dangerous that
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: is with the empty nets and.
- 1:40:14Speaker 5: Whatever if you wanted to go like first period, under
- 1:40:17Speaker 5: that makes Some that might make some sense there because
- 1:40:20Speaker 5: both teams might come out slow on offense because they're
- 1:40:23Speaker 5: both really. Rested you, know the REST i think helps
- 1:40:26Speaker 5: the defense and it negatively impacts the. Offense, Typically colorado's
- 1:40:31Speaker 5: also a pretty big. Favorite LIKE i, said they're in
- 1:40:33Speaker 5: the minus one ninety range. Here the money is fading
- 1:40:36Speaker 5: them a little. Bit eighty six percent of, tickets only
- 1:40:39Speaker 5: eighty five percent of the cash on. THEM i don't
- 1:40:42Speaker 5: know IF i really see, it, Though i'm gonna wait
- 1:40:44Speaker 5: and see how the series starts playing out and try
- 1:40:46Speaker 5: to find some like zig zag spots and, whatever but
- 1:40:49Speaker 5: not gonna be a play for. Me and then we
- 1:40:51Speaker 5: HAVE Nba San Antonio Oklahoma City game. Two this GAME
- 1:40:55Speaker 5: nbc And peacock eight THIRTY. PM i thought Oklaham Is
- 1:41:00Speaker 5: city was gonna play better in game. One you, KNOW
- 1:41:03Speaker 5: i USUALLY i like the zigzag, Right like when the
- 1:41:06Speaker 5: home favorite loses in game, one they're usually a really
- 1:41:09Speaker 5: really good playing game two because you cannot fall down
- 1:41:12Speaker 5: two losing both games at home and have to go
- 1:41:15Speaker 5: on the.
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: Road you just can't do, it you know WHAT i.
- 1:41:17Speaker 5: Mean Oklahoma city's best game Against San antonio was a
- 1:41:20Speaker 5: double digit win at. Home the only time they beat.
- 1:41:23Speaker 5: Them they had A cup game in, there WHICH i
- 1:41:25Speaker 5: think didn't really, matter although San antonio won that. One
- 1:41:29Speaker 5: the one really bad thing About Oklahoma city is they
- 1:41:32Speaker 5: had a zigzag spot Against San antonio during the rego
- 1:41:35Speaker 5: season where they were favored by about seven or seven
- 1:41:38Speaker 5: and a half at, home AND i gave that out
- 1:41:39Speaker 5: as a play on my. SHOW i think it was On,
- 1:41:41Speaker 5: christmas and, okay, see didn't even win that. Game they lost,
- 1:41:45Speaker 5: Outright so there is a problem, here San antonio looks
- 1:41:48Speaker 5: like they have a matchup edge Over Oklahoma.
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: City that is my worry.
- 1:41:53Speaker 5: Here, Man it's LIKE okac cannot stop San. Antonio but
- 1:41:56Speaker 5: here's the thing about San. Antonio though they're coming off,
- 1:41:59Speaker 5: adult they're coming up a double overtime, game and San antonio.
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: Overworked all of their.
- 1:42:04Speaker 5: Starters So Oklahoma city has a depth, edge and that
- 1:42:08Speaker 5: might help them in this. Series Oklahoma city runs like
- 1:42:10Speaker 5: ten guys out, there whereas San antonio is basically playing
- 1:42:14Speaker 5: like primarily five and Like wemby played like forty nine
- 1:42:18Speaker 5: minutes in that, game you know WHAT i. Mean So
- 1:42:20Speaker 5: Oklahoma city is going to at some point be a
- 1:42:23Speaker 5: bit more rested than San antonio is because San antonio
- 1:42:26Speaker 5: has a less deep, rotation so.
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: They're overworking their. STARTERS i.
- 1:42:31Speaker 5: Guess the one good thing for San antonio is That
- 1:42:33Speaker 5: fox didn't, play which made no sense actually Because fox
- 1:42:37Speaker 5: played at the end of The minnesota. Series but he's,
- 1:42:40Speaker 5: INJURED i don't, know and he didn't play In game
- 1:42:43Speaker 5: one and they still. Won but if he comes, BACK
- 1:42:47Speaker 5: i think that's gonna be a bit of a, negative
- 1:42:51Speaker 5: to be, Honest Like fox is one of their better, players,
- 1:42:53Speaker 5: obviously but you know WHAT i talk, about when when
- 1:42:55Speaker 5: an injured player comes, BACK a lot of times that's
- 1:42:58Speaker 5: a problem because you have to work back into the. Rotation,
- 1:43:01Speaker 5: now the good thing is he's going to be fresh
- 1:43:03Speaker 5: because he didn't play in game, one so they will
- 1:43:05Speaker 5: have rested one of their best players will be rested
- 1:43:09Speaker 5: coming into the.
- 1:43:09Speaker 2: Game he is. QUESTIONABLE i think he is going to.
- 1:43:12Speaker 5: PLAY i, mean would you really sit one of your
- 1:43:15Speaker 5: best players for the first two games of the conference.
- 1:43:18Speaker 5: FINALS i don't think they, Would SO i think he
- 1:43:22Speaker 5: is going to. Play but, again that could kind of
- 1:43:23Speaker 5: mess with their, chemistry you know WHAT i. Mean but
- 1:43:26Speaker 5: the good thing is he'll be. Fresh that'll give him
- 1:43:28Speaker 5: a fresh body out. THERE i know that sounds, bad but,
- 1:43:33Speaker 5: yeah SO i think there is a rest Edge Troklahoma
- 1:43:35Speaker 5: city here because they have a deeper, rotation so they
- 1:43:37Speaker 5: didn't overwork their starters Like San antonio. Did Jalen Williams
- 1:43:42Speaker 5: Roklahoma city looks like he's kind of still, injured even
- 1:43:45Speaker 5: though he hit a couple of key three pointers near
- 1:43:48Speaker 5: the end of that game, There but he looks like
- 1:43:50Speaker 5: he is still like he still has a hamstring. Issue
- 1:43:53Speaker 5: but he did still play pretty. WELL i don't know
- 1:43:56Speaker 5: if he's injured in this game or. Not let me say,
- 1:44:00Speaker 5: no he's not even on the injury, reports so apparently he's. Playing,
- 1:44:05Speaker 5: now if we look at the box, score you, know
- 1:44:06Speaker 5: that's WHAT i. Do you gotta look at the box.
- 1:44:08Speaker 5: Score The spurs led the majority of the, game But
- 1:44:12Speaker 5: Oklahoma city could have won that. GAME i Think wemby
- 1:44:16Speaker 5: hit like a half court shot to even send the
- 1:44:18Speaker 5: game into double. Overtime i'm pretty sure The spurs were
- 1:44:21Speaker 5: winning by three at the very end of, OVERTIME i, believe,
- 1:44:26Speaker 5: Right i'm pretty sure that was the, case or ECUSE
- 1:44:30Speaker 5: okc was WINNING i, Thought AM i wrong about? That
- 1:44:34Speaker 5: and maybe it was the end of, REGULATION i don't.
- 1:44:35Speaker 5: Know i'm pretty SURE okac was about to win the
- 1:44:37Speaker 5: game And wemby hit a. Three, ACTUALLY i think it
- 1:44:41Speaker 5: was right, here, yeah, this, YEAH i think this was.
- 1:44:45Speaker 5: It right, Here, yeah it was at the end of
- 1:44:47Speaker 5: the first. Overtime wemby hit like a half court shot
- 1:44:50Speaker 5: that Saved San antonio had sent the game into double
- 1:44:53Speaker 5: ot and THEN i told you a double. Otem Oklahoma
- 1:44:57Speaker 5: city kept getting back to within one, point and then
- 1:45:00Speaker 5: every time they gave up an and one To San.
- 1:45:03Speaker 5: ANTONIO i don't, know but if we look at the box,
- 1:45:05Speaker 5: score you, know there weren't really that many outliers. Here
- 1:45:10Speaker 5: San antonio did go to the free throw line more
- 1:45:12Speaker 5: so that is a little bit of an outlier that
- 1:45:14Speaker 5: they were plus eleven from the free throw.
- 1:45:16Speaker 2: Line SO i do expect that to regress a little.
- 1:45:19Speaker 5: Bit but the problem Is San antonio is kind of
- 1:45:21Speaker 5: dominant on the interior because they Have, wemby and nobody
- 1:45:24Speaker 5: really has an answer for. That and this is the
- 1:45:27Speaker 5: PROBLEM i. Have San antonio was plus twenty one in.
- 1:45:31Speaker 5: Rebounds they lost the turnover battle and they still, won
- 1:45:34Speaker 5: and they, dude when a team dominates the rebound battle like,
- 1:45:38Speaker 5: that there's a.
- 1:45:39Speaker 2: Problem SO i don't really want to Play Oklahoma city.
- 1:45:41Speaker 5: Here even THOUGH i THINK i am gonna still lean
- 1:45:44Speaker 5: To Oklahoma city to cover in this, GAME i don't
- 1:45:47Speaker 5: want to do. IT i have too many concerns about
- 1:45:49Speaker 5: the match up. Here, MAN i don't know What i'm
- 1:45:52Speaker 5: gonna do about the. Series you, KNOW i might wait
- 1:45:56Speaker 5: to see maybe IF okac wins a game in a
- 1:45:59Speaker 5: blowout or, something and come back and Play San. ANTONIO
- 1:46:01Speaker 5: i don't. KNOW i don't know HOW i want to
- 1:46:02Speaker 5: play this. Series but, yeah San antonio led eighty one
- 1:46:06Speaker 5: percent of that. Game they dominated the. Rebounds, YES i
- 1:46:09Speaker 5: think their free throw shooting will. REGRESS i Expect Oklahoma
- 1:46:13Speaker 5: city to get more calls this. Time, also San antonio
- 1:46:16Speaker 5: is not gonna shoot ninety three percent from the free throw. Line, Again,
- 1:46:19Speaker 5: WEMBY i think it was like eleven for twelve from
- 1:46:22Speaker 5: the free throw. Line he is, good but AN nba
- 1:46:26Speaker 5: team is not gonna shoot ninety percent as a team
- 1:46:29Speaker 5: from the free throw line. Consistently And, okay, see by the,
- 1:46:32Speaker 5: way did have more field goal attempts in the, game
- 1:46:35Speaker 5: not by much but by a little, bit so they
- 1:46:37Speaker 5: definitely could have won that, game although San antonio was
- 1:46:40Speaker 5: actually the better team in the. Game so that is
- 1:46:43Speaker 5: what worries. ME i do lean To Oklahoma. City, still
- 1:46:47Speaker 5: they're laying six and a. Half the number is headed towards,
- 1:46:49Speaker 5: seven so the money is still coming in On okay
- 1:46:52Speaker 5: seeing the numbers about where it was last, game except
- 1:46:55Speaker 5: that last game it closed at five and a half
- 1:46:58Speaker 5: and now it's already at six and a half against
- 1:47:00Speaker 5: the osmakers are kind of figuring the zigzag into.
- 1:47:03Speaker 2: This fifty percent of tickets fifty two percent of the
- 1:47:06Speaker 2: cash on ok. Scene, uh the total looks like it's
- 1:47:10Speaker 2: a little bit lower.
- 1:47:11Speaker 5: Here let me see what was in game, one BECAUSE
- 1:47:16Speaker 5: i was considering maybe an under here because the first
- 1:47:19Speaker 5: game should have gone way.
- 1:47:20Speaker 2: Under the under was correct in game. One, Uh like
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: the teams were tied at one oh, THREE i, think
- 1:47:26Speaker 2: so the.
- 1:47:26Speaker 5: Game was like double digits under the total at the
- 1:47:30Speaker 5: end of, regulation AND i believe the game was still
- 1:47:32Speaker 5: under at the end of the first, overtime but it
- 1:47:35Speaker 5: went two overtimes and it wound up going over because
- 1:47:38Speaker 5: it went two. Overtimes so that was a really bad.
- 1:47:40Speaker 5: Beat if you had the, under you absolutely had the correct.
- 1:47:44Speaker 5: Total play on the under. There, uh the total was
- 1:47:48Speaker 5: two nineteen and a. Half and, yeah that's kind of
- 1:47:50Speaker 5: the problem WHERE i kind of like the under because of,
- 1:47:53Speaker 5: that because the total was the final score was misleadingly
- 1:47:57Speaker 5: high because it went into double. Overtime but now you're
- 1:47:59Speaker 5: looking at two sixteen here to sixteen and a, half
- 1:48:02Speaker 5: so the total has dropped three points coming into this,
- 1:48:05Speaker 5: Game SO i don't love. That, like there's not as
- 1:48:08Speaker 5: much value on the under as there would have. Been
- 1:48:11Speaker 5: we have seventy two, tickets seventy three percent of the
- 1:48:13Speaker 5: cash on the. Under the other thing THAT i don't
- 1:48:16Speaker 5: like IS i don't like the under in game two as.
- 1:48:18Speaker 5: Much in game, one the under is a better play
- 1:48:21Speaker 5: usually because sometimes the teams will come out cold after
- 1:48:24Speaker 5: having like a long layoff or. Whatever the team's, arrested
- 1:48:27Speaker 5: so you get better defense colder. Offense but now you're
- 1:48:30Speaker 5: on a quick turnaround. Time the under actually hits less
- 1:48:34Speaker 5: in game two than it does in game, one SO
- 1:48:36Speaker 5: i don't love that. Either so that actually is a
- 1:48:39Speaker 5: little bit of an argument for the, Over like you
- 1:48:42Speaker 5: might be getting a little bit of value now going
- 1:48:45Speaker 5: back and flipping it and going with the over. Here
- 1:48:47Speaker 5: BUT i don't really want to do that. EITHER i,
- 1:48:49Speaker 5: mean we have two really good defenses yere, too SO
- 1:48:52Speaker 5: i don't. Know but the the other thing about the
- 1:48:55Speaker 5: over that might help those that we're coming off a
- 1:48:57Speaker 5: double overtime game, here, right so that means you're gonna
- 1:48:59Speaker 5: have tired, legs especially On San antonio's, side the defenses
- 1:49:03Speaker 5: might be a little bit tired, here. Man so, actually,
- 1:49:06Speaker 5: YEAH i probably due lean over in this, game even
- 1:49:09Speaker 5: though the score is misleadingly high in game. One but,
- 1:49:12Speaker 5: Yeah i'm not gonna play this, game and that's gonna do.
- 1:49:15Speaker 4: It.
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: Man those are my thoughts on all the games.
