- 0:01Speaker 1: And missy Rouse denn and he has power stop man.
- 0:04Speaker 1: He throws regularly above one hundred miles. I believe he
- 0:08Speaker 1: had like thirty or forty pitches that were at least.
- 0:11Speaker 2: One hundred miles an hour when radar gun in his
- 0:13Speaker 2: first start, which is more one hundred mile an hour
- 0:17Speaker 2: fastball than he's a higher team is thrown all that
- 0:22Speaker 2: one start.
- 0:23Speaker 3: He goes base los his Bronnay and he's picking very well.
- 0:26Speaker 1: They can get tacked off the Maxsan he has that
- 0:30Speaker 1: name like he's gonna be a Hall of the Game.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Think you can get attacked, but you're actually getting this one.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Can't lay minus three?
- 0:37Speaker 3: Can?
- 0:37Speaker 1: They're a huge road favorite here. I mean, obviously the
- 0:41Speaker 1: Dodgers will team bull Ben starting pisure, they have every advantage.
- 0:45Speaker 3: He again lay the Dodgers.
- 0:49Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, It's Toad back with you for Better
- 0:52Speaker 1: Off Dead Monday, June thirtieth, starting the new week with
- 0:56Speaker 1: an intro here with Toad with a banger song created
- 1:01Speaker 1: by one of the listeners. I gotta remember who it
- 1:02Speaker 1: is because I want to shout this guy out, and
- 1:04Speaker 1: I can't remember who the hell it is.
- 1:06Speaker 3: I apologize, guy, Thank you for the interim music.
- 1:10Speaker 1: I just put together some clips from one of the
- 1:12Speaker 1: days that I went four and oh last week, and
- 1:14Speaker 1: that's all I did. It's a terrible intro. Maybe it's
- 1:17Speaker 1: better than no intro, maybe it's not.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Who knows.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Yesterday it was a three and o day, so that
- 1:22Speaker 1: was pretty good. WNBA hit on the Las Vegas Aces.
- 1:26Speaker 3: That was a win. So outright win with an underdog.
- 1:29Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you'll take that every time they're winning
- 1:32Speaker 1: down the stretch. I was pretty much decided by the
- 1:35Speaker 1: end of it, so you knew you were at least
- 1:37Speaker 1: gonna get the cover on that. And of course, so
- 1:39Speaker 1: we got the outright win on that. So that was
- 1:41Speaker 1: a good one.
- 1:42Speaker 3: We had Pittsburgh Pirates.
- 1:45Speaker 1: They completed the sweep of the Mets, so that worked
- 1:48Speaker 1: out well as well, with another easy win to I
- 1:50Speaker 1: think they went twelve to one. Is that what it
- 1:53Speaker 1: was something like that, whatever it was, was a blowout win.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Again.
- 1:56Speaker 1: They dominated that series and then something's not right with
- 1:59Speaker 1: the Mets, and I think what it is is they
- 2:02Speaker 1: overly celebrated Pride Day a couple of weeks back and
- 2:06Speaker 1: they've been terrible since.
- 2:08Speaker 3: So that's what you get.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Man.
- 2:09Speaker 3: The flood is coming back in.
- 2:11Speaker 1: It's God telling you you shouldn't be doing that, and
- 2:13Speaker 1: I'm gonna punish you now. Philadelphia Atlanta under also hit
- 2:18Speaker 1: and that was an under all the way, first five
- 2:20Speaker 1: inning under, full game under, any way you did it
- 2:23Speaker 1: under was the winner there. I'm gonna have three unders today. Actually,
- 2:28Speaker 1: even though it's a short baseball card, we're going all baseball.
- 2:31Speaker 1: I'm gonna have two first five inning unders and a
- 2:33Speaker 1: full game under. And hopefully I don't screw myself because
- 2:36Speaker 1: I think in these cases we're actually getting some valume
- 2:39Speaker 1: on some like underrated pictures.
- 2:41Speaker 3: For the most part. So that's what I'm going with here.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Let's get right into it, baby, starting with WNBA, because
- 2:49Speaker 1: we do have one w NBA game today and I'm
- 2:50Speaker 1: not gonna recommend to play on this, but it is
- 2:53Speaker 1: interesting at least it's Indiana and Minnesota. But it's gonna
- 2:56Speaker 1: be a little bit less interesting because Caitlyn Clark is
- 2:59Speaker 1: still hurt. She's not coming back for this game. Minnesota
- 3:02Speaker 1: obviously is the better team. They're up from five to
- 3:04Speaker 1: five and a half. They're not an insurmountable favorite here,
- 3:08Speaker 1: so osmakers are giving some respect to Indiana, especially given
- 3:11Speaker 1: the fact that CAYLEB Clark is seemingly not playing. It
- 3:14Speaker 1: seems like she's supposed to be out until tomorrow. But
- 3:17Speaker 1: this line seems kind of short to me if Caylen
- 3:20Speaker 1: Clark is not playing, so we're gonna have to see it.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Maybe she is actually going to play, because I would
- 3:25Speaker 1: think this line would be a little bit different, But
- 3:27Speaker 1: we will see. Maybe some of it is because Minnesota
- 3:30Speaker 1: played yesterday, so they are in a back to back,
- 3:32Speaker 1: but they absolutely did not have to exert themselves as
- 3:35Speaker 1: they demolished Connecticut, the worst team in the league, by
- 3:38Speaker 1: thirty nine points, score it over one hundred. When you
- 3:42Speaker 1: do something like that, you're gonna potentially be feeling a
- 3:44Speaker 1: little bit high on yourselves though, So I don't know
- 3:46Speaker 1: if I love the spot from Minnesota. Hear with no rest,
- 3:49Speaker 1: but yet again, I mean, they didn't exert themselves yesterday,
- 3:52Speaker 1: so it's not really a horrible back to back spot.
- 3:55Speaker 1: It's about the easiest to back to back spot can get.
- 3:58Speaker 3: Indiana. They're continuing a two game road trip here.
- 4:02Speaker 1: They beat Dallas in the previous game, which I think
- 4:04Speaker 1: would have been a bigger game if Clark was playing.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Because it was going to be the big Clark Becker's
- 4:09Speaker 1: rematch in Indiana won without Clark, so they're coming off
- 4:13Speaker 1: a big game as well. But I think obviously they're
- 4:15Speaker 1: going to pay attention to this game against Minnesota. I
- 4:18Speaker 1: think it is going to be considered to be a
- 4:20Speaker 1: big game for both teams. So it's very difficult to handicap.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I don't even know if I want to give out
- 4:25Speaker 1: a lean on that. And we have Major League Baseball.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Obviously it's a Monday, so Major League Baseball. We have
- 4:30Speaker 1: a short Major League Baseball card today. And one thing
- 4:34Speaker 1: that I always preach is, you look at who played
- 4:36Speaker 1: in the Sunday night game Minnesota Detroit. It was a big,
- 4:40Speaker 1: you know, divisional Sunday night game. It was schooable night
- 4:42Speaker 1: school ball, pitched well again. But then you look today,
- 4:45Speaker 1: Oh yeah, neither of those teams are playing today. So
- 4:47Speaker 1: unfortunately we do not get to fade either one of
- 4:50Speaker 1: those teams today, but we're gonna find some angles here. Nonetheless,
- 4:54Speaker 1: San Diego is at Philadelphia, as we have all evening
- 4:58Speaker 1: games today on a Monday, new series is starting for
- 5:00Speaker 1: every team that's playing today. Philadelphia is actually returning over
- 5:03Speaker 1: from a road trip, and they were just in a
- 5:06Speaker 1: pretty big divisional series against Atlanta and they won yesterday
- 5:09Speaker 1: two to one, so a pretty big win. They're beating
- 5:12Speaker 1: one of their divisional rivals, and now they're returning home
- 5:15Speaker 1: two series road trip that's going to Houston and Atlanta.
- 5:18Speaker 1: So I think they aren't a little bit of a
- 5:20Speaker 1: letdown spot potentially, because when you have a team that's
- 5:23Speaker 1: returning over from a road trip, like I always say,
- 5:25Speaker 1: it gets to be a little bit of a distraction
- 5:27Speaker 1: spot sometimes because players have to return back to family life,
- 5:30Speaker 1: they have to get some stuff done. But in addition
- 5:32Speaker 1: to that, coming off a series like that against the Braves,
- 5:35Speaker 1: I think they could be in a little bit of
- 5:36Speaker 1: a letdown spot. So I don't think it's the greatest
- 5:39Speaker 1: spot for Philadelphia San Diego's or continuing a road trip,
- 5:43Speaker 1: excuse me. And they were just in Cincinnati, so they
- 5:45Speaker 1: are flying from Cincinnati into Philadelphia. But they lost the
- 5:48Speaker 1: series at Cincinnati, so it might be good to just
- 5:51Speaker 1: get out of there and try to refocus. So I
- 5:53Speaker 1: think spot wise, it's a little bit better for San Diego.
- 5:56Speaker 1: But for San Diego, Matt Walter and is pitching today,
- 6:01Speaker 1: I don't know what we're gonna get out of Waldron Man.
- 6:02Speaker 1: He has not pitched at all this season. He is
- 6:05Speaker 1: a knuckleball pitcher, so he's a little bit all over
- 6:08Speaker 1: the place. I mean, his career numbers go back to
- 6:10Speaker 1: twenty twenty three and they're not horrible. Basically, it's very
- 6:15Speaker 1: Tim Wakefield ask to be honest, four point seven to
- 6:17Speaker 1: ninety IRA one point two six whip, so his numbers
- 6:20Speaker 1: are not terrible, but it's like, how well he does
- 6:23Speaker 1: really depends on how well the knuckleball is going and
- 6:25Speaker 1: how like how much weird movement there is on it,
- 6:28Speaker 1: and how much he can fool the opposing hitters, because
- 6:30Speaker 1: that's pretty much what he does. He has not pitched
- 6:33Speaker 1: yet this year, so it's questionable how like rusty he's
- 6:36Speaker 1: gonna be and whatever. I think he wasn't even hurt.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I don't think he was just in the minors for
- 6:41Speaker 1: a while. So maybe he will be pumped to get
- 6:43Speaker 1: another shot in the majors again. And he is facing
- 6:46Speaker 1: at Philadelphia, his team with a good lineup, obviously, but
- 6:50Speaker 1: Waldron or excuse me, Waldron yet has actually done pretty
- 6:53Speaker 1: poorly against them in the past, and thirty seven at
- 6:55Speaker 1: bats two ninety seven average allowed and eight thirty six
- 7:00Speaker 1: not exactly expecting Waldron to come out and really shut
- 7:04Speaker 1: down this good Philadelphia offense. So of course we do
- 7:07Speaker 1: have to look at what happened with the bullpens yesterday.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Phillies didn't use a whole lot of their bullpen yesterday.
- 7:13Speaker 1: With Suarez going seven innings, Philly their bullpen's decently intact here.
- 7:18Speaker 1: San Diego yesterday, with a close loss to the Reds,
- 7:22Speaker 1: wound up using more of their bullpens. So even though
- 7:25Speaker 1: San Diego has the better bullpen, but they did again
- 7:27Speaker 1: have to overly use it, I think in this series.
- 7:30Speaker 1: So I think the rest scenario kind of evens out
- 7:33Speaker 1: the bullpen situation. And this is a brutal loss for
- 7:36Speaker 1: San Diego by the way, as they're winning it's in
- 7:37Speaker 1: the ninth inning and then lost giving up two runs
- 7:40Speaker 1: in the ninth not good. So San Diego's bullpen a
- 7:43Speaker 1: little bit questionable right now. And Philadelphia's got Zach Wheeler
- 7:47Speaker 1: around the mount so you know, obviously Philadelphia is the
- 7:50Speaker 1: better starter here with Wheeler being their ace. He's one
- 7:53Speaker 1: of the top pitchers in baseball despite being thirty five
- 7:56Speaker 1: years old.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Two point four.
- 7:57Speaker 1: To five erazo, point nine two whip home road splits,
- 8:02Speaker 1: very insignificant, doesn't really matter. This month, he's been really
- 8:06Speaker 1: good with a point seven to eight ERA thirty two
- 8:08Speaker 1: to seven strike a walk ratio, striking out at least
- 8:11Speaker 1: seven in all four starts. His team has won three
- 8:14Speaker 1: of the four starts he's been on point. Man, He's
- 8:17Speaker 1: allowed one or zero earned runs in every start this month,
- 8:21Speaker 1: including facing the Cubs and the Mets, so he's facing
- 8:23Speaker 1: some pretty decent lineup. So though I know the Mets
- 8:25Speaker 1: are struggling right now, Wheeler definitely on point right now,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and against San Diego he has pretty dominant numbers in
- 8:33Speaker 1: ninety two at bats, so pretty significant sample size. He's
- 8:35Speaker 1: an eighteen to two strike a walk ratio against him,
- 8:38Speaker 1: and it's held into a one to sixty three average
- 8:40Speaker 1: four to twenty ohps. So I'm not looking to fade
- 8:43Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler in this game, man.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Even though it is a.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Bad spot for Philadelphia, I think they have a big
- 8:48Speaker 1: starting pitching advantage here and the bullpen edge is kind
- 8:51Speaker 1: of erased based on what San Diego's done with their
- 8:55Speaker 1: bullpen recently.
- 8:56Speaker 2: So.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Probably you got to look to Philadelphia, or pass the
- 9:00Speaker 1: game here. They're up for minus two to end to
- 9:02Speaker 1: minus two twelve. Though so very expensive to play Philly
- 9:05Speaker 1: here fifty six percent of tickets, eighty four percent of
- 9:08Speaker 1: the cash coming in on them. Still don't want to
- 9:10Speaker 1: do it because I don't like playing on teams in
- 9:12Speaker 1: a return home spot like this. Perhaps the way that
- 9:16Speaker 1: you want to do it maybe is to look Philadelphia
- 9:19Speaker 1: team total to go over, and you'll have to probably
- 9:22Speaker 1: get it like five five and a half, which is
- 9:24Speaker 1: definitely asking a lot. But when a team turns over
- 9:26Speaker 1: a road trip sometimes their bats will tend to suffer
- 9:29Speaker 1: a little bit from that distraction as well. So I
- 9:31Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily recommend that either, but I could see them
- 9:35Speaker 1: potentially getting to Waldron. Or if you want to go
- 9:37Speaker 1: the other way with it and say, well, Wheeler's gonna
- 9:39Speaker 1: have a good game, you could potentially go San Diego
- 9:42Speaker 1: under their team total and expect Wheeler to actually stop them.
- 9:46Speaker 1: So that could be the case there. And with Philadelphia
- 9:49Speaker 1: at least their bullpen has actually been pitching a little
- 9:51Speaker 1: bit better recently, so you can take that into account
- 9:54Speaker 1: as well. Saint Louis is at Pittsburgh. Both these teams
- 9:57Speaker 1: are coming off of sweeps. Pittsburgh sweep was much more satisfying,
- 10:01Speaker 1: and they're just staying at home off of destroying the Mets.
- 10:05Speaker 1: I mean, that was a pretty impressive performance for Pittsburgh,
- 10:09Speaker 1: to be honest, and I believe they did that without
- 10:12Speaker 1: Paul Skeen's pitching in the series too, because Skeens pitched
- 10:14Speaker 1: the last game against Milwaukee. Thirty runs scored by Pittsburgh.
- 10:19Speaker 1: They outscored the Mets thirty to four and a three
- 10:22Speaker 1: game series. Honestly, I think the only way Pittsburgh could
- 10:25Speaker 1: go from here is back down, man, because they are
- 10:27Speaker 1: not a very good team.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Yes, this is a divisional series.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Yes, Pittsburgh probably would have a little bit more motivation
- 10:34Speaker 1: against Saint Louis than Saint Louis would have against Pittsburgh.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Pittsburgh way at the bottom of the division here, obviously,
- 10:41Speaker 1: but again, I don't know how they sustained something like
- 10:44Speaker 1: this coming off of a series like this, So I
- 10:46Speaker 1: do think Pittsburgh could be in a little bit of
- 10:48Speaker 1: a let down here. They didn't as much of their
- 10:50Speaker 1: bullpen at all. Yes, say those burrows didn't really go
- 10:53Speaker 1: that deep into the game, but they pretty much saved
- 10:55Speaker 1: their whole bullpen and used blowed Zinsky for a lot
- 10:58Speaker 1: of the rest of the game, and he did. Okay,
- 11:00Speaker 1: I mean it was the game was out of hand
- 11:01Speaker 1: at that point anyway, so it didn't really matter. Saint
- 11:04Speaker 1: Louis Is also coming off of a sweep they swept
- 11:06Speaker 1: Cleveland though, so a little bit of a less satisfying
- 11:10Speaker 1: a sweep there for Saint Louis in an inter league
- 11:13Speaker 1: series against the struggling Cleveland Indians team and they're just
- 11:17Speaker 1: going from Cleveland to Pittsburgh, very short travel spot, so
- 11:20Speaker 1: I think the spot does set up maybe a little
- 11:22Speaker 1: bit better for Saint Louis here. They're coming off a
- 11:24Speaker 1: series where they did shut Cleveland out in two of
- 11:27Speaker 1: the three games though, so that was still pretty impressive
- 11:30Speaker 1: as well for Saint Louis. Uh, Saint Louis does have
- 11:33Speaker 1: the better of the two bullpends here, and it kind
- 11:35Speaker 1: of comes down to you gotta look at usage. But
- 11:37Speaker 1: of course they won seven and nothing yesterday, so not
- 11:39Speaker 1: a lot of bullpen usage out of Saint Louis yesterday.
- 11:42Speaker 1: They rested their more important relief pitchers yesterday as well.
- 11:46Speaker 1: They have Eric Fetti on the mound Saint Louis does
- 11:49Speaker 1: today not doing that great right now, four point one
- 11:52Speaker 1: to one, and the scene is in one point three
- 11:54Speaker 1: six whip on the road. He's been better though the
- 11:58Speaker 1: three ERA, so this matchup might actually help him, although
- 12:01Speaker 1: he's not a good form right now. At least he
- 12:03Speaker 1: gave up seven runs to the Cubs last time out,
- 12:06Speaker 1: and I gave out the Cubs on the show as
- 12:08Speaker 1: a play in that one, so that was a nice
- 12:10Speaker 1: easy win there. Now I see an argument that, well,
- 12:14Speaker 1: maybe that's just a little bit of a blip, right
- 12:16Speaker 1: because the Cubs have a really good offense. They statistically
- 12:20Speaker 1: historically do pretty well against FEddi, so Fedti might bounce
- 12:23Speaker 1: back from that.
- 12:23Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Like the previous starts this month, he hadn't allow more
- 12:26Speaker 1: than three or runs in any of them. He's stepping
- 12:29Speaker 1: way down in class to face Pittsburgh, so that is true.
- 12:32Speaker 1: But this month he does not only have a four
- 12:34Speaker 1: point six to two ERA, which again is getting skewed
- 12:38Speaker 1: by that Chicago start, but twelve to three excuse eighteen
- 12:41Speaker 1: to twelve strike at walk ratio is not that good though,
- 12:44Speaker 1: so his strikeout rate hasn't been that high. His walk
- 12:47Speaker 1: rate has been too high this month, so he is
- 12:49Speaker 1: struggling a little bit. But then again he's facing Pittsburgh
- 12:53Speaker 1: stepping back down to class, so he may do well here.
- 12:56Speaker 1: He does do better on the road. Seventy one at
- 12:58Speaker 1: bats in his career against Pittsburg, he has held him
- 13:01Speaker 1: to two eleven batting averaged six to twenty ohps. So Fetti,
- 13:05Speaker 1: I mean he could bounce back potentially and have a
- 13:07Speaker 1: better performance here. Pittsburgh not a very good offense, and
- 13:10Speaker 1: you want to talk about a bad form, Andrew Heaney
- 13:14Speaker 1: has been in worse for him than Eric Fetti. He's
- 13:16Speaker 1: got a four point four to eighty r now in
- 13:18Speaker 1: the season, one point two to five whip, and to
- 13:21Speaker 1: start the month of June his ERA was three point
- 13:25Speaker 1: one eight and since then, since the start of June,
- 13:29Speaker 1: he's put up a seven point one ERA and it's
- 13:31Speaker 1: skyrocketed his ERA to four point four to eight. He's
- 13:34Speaker 1: given up seven runs a piece in his last two outings. Granted,
- 13:38Speaker 1: yes they're both on the road against Detroit and Milwaukee,
- 13:41Speaker 1: so two decent offenses, but he also has a five
- 13:45Speaker 1: to six strike a walk ratio of those last two starts,
- 13:48Speaker 1: which isn't good. Although twenty to six overall in the
- 13:51Speaker 1: month of June, so he didn't walk anybody in June.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Until those two starts.
- 13:55Speaker 1: He's faced a bunch of tough offenses, man, really all
- 13:58Speaker 1: tough offenses San Diego, phil Chicago, Cubs, Detroit, Milwaukee. So
- 14:02Speaker 1: that's a gauntlet he's gone through this month. So maybe
- 14:05Speaker 1: he will do a little bit better stepping back down
- 14:07Speaker 1: in class to face a Saint Louis here. He does
- 14:10Speaker 1: have good numbers against him historically thirty one at bats one,
- 14:13Speaker 1: sixty one average for sixty one ohps. But I think
- 14:17Speaker 1: he is a little bit less trustworthy than Fetti in
- 14:20Speaker 1: the spot man, and the public is all over Pittsburgh
- 14:22Speaker 1: right now, maybe just because of what they just did
- 14:24Speaker 1: to the Mets. Everybody's kind of taken notice now, but
- 14:27Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's still a bad team, and I think Fetti is
- 14:30Speaker 1: still the.
- 14:30Speaker 3: Preferable of the two pitchers here.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Seventy three percent of tickets, seventy one percent of the cash,
- 14:35Speaker 1: so Pittsburgh's public with with less of the cash on them,
- 14:38Speaker 1: even though they are a favorite. A minus won ten,
- 14:41Speaker 1: having flipped from plus one oh four. I don't think
- 14:43Speaker 1: that's a very significant move so I think the more
- 14:47Speaker 1: the better way to read into this market here is
- 14:50Speaker 1: to say that Pittsburgh's a public team and they're getting
- 14:52Speaker 1: less of the money, so slightly into Saint Louis there.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I don't know if I would do anything else with
- 14:58Speaker 1: that game, but yeah, I mean I think he and
- 15:02Speaker 1: because he's put up two bad starts in a row,
- 15:04Speaker 1: I think it's more of an indicator that he's just
- 15:06Speaker 1: coming out of form right now, where his fetti his
- 15:09Speaker 1: last start could be a little bit of a blip.
- 15:11Speaker 1: The Yankees are at Toronto. This is gonna be a
- 15:14Speaker 1: big divisional series. Man, Toronto actually only three games back
- 15:17Speaker 1: of the Yankees here. Toronto is coming off a big
- 15:20Speaker 1: series where they just beat the Boston Red Sox though
- 15:23Speaker 1: unfortunately for me, and they are returning home. But I
- 15:26Speaker 1: don't think this is a very typical return home spot
- 15:28Speaker 1: where you're gonna get like a lot of distractions coming
- 15:31Speaker 1: into play here. Yes, they have to return to family life,
- 15:33Speaker 1: Yes they're having to go through customs whatever, But you
- 15:36Speaker 1: have the New York Yankees coming in, You're not gonna
- 15:38Speaker 1: be unfocused. Man, Toronto has the better bullpen, at least
- 15:42Speaker 1: over the Yankees. That is where we could start here
- 15:44Speaker 1: at the handicap. Although Toronto did use a decent amount
- 15:48Speaker 1: of their bullpen yesterday to save the game against the
- 15:50Speaker 1: Red Sox yesterday, they did have to use some of
- 15:52Speaker 1: their better relief pitchers yesterday, so that.
- 15:55Speaker 3: Could kind of balance it out a little bit of that.
- 15:56Speaker 1: I think the Yankees use a lot of their bullpen
- 15:59Speaker 1: yesterday as well, though they beat the A's pretty soundly,
- 16:03Speaker 1: but a lot of bullpen. A lot of relief pitchers
- 16:05Speaker 1: had to come in for the Yankees yesterday, so not
- 16:07Speaker 1: really their best relief pitchers, but they did have to
- 16:11Speaker 1: use a bunch of relief pitchers yesterday, So the bullpen
- 16:14Speaker 1: situation a little bit of a wash. But I think
- 16:18Speaker 1: I don't know, man, because Stronta used some of their
- 16:20Speaker 1: higher leverage relief pictures yesterday, but overall they do have
- 16:23Speaker 1: the better bullpen of the two.
- 16:25Speaker 3: So I don't know.
- 16:25Speaker 1: It's tough to say, but I guess you could say
- 16:27Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a wash. Yankees are sending
- 16:29Speaker 1: Carlos Redon to the mound. He's having a good season
- 16:32Speaker 1: two point nine to two ERA and a very impressive
- 16:35Speaker 1: point nine to seven whip. He's been better on the
- 16:38Speaker 1: road as well, with a two point five to seven
- 16:40Speaker 1: road ERA away from a hitter friendly Yankee stadium. He's
- 16:44Speaker 1: pitching well this month as well, three point seven to
- 16:46Speaker 1: two ERA, twenty nine to eight strike a walk ratio,
- 16:49Speaker 1: even though the Yankees have lost three of his five starts,
- 16:52Speaker 1: two of them were to the Red Sox. He kind
- 16:55Speaker 1: of was a hard luck loser last time out against Cincinnati,
- 16:58Speaker 1: where he shut them out for six innings. That was
- 17:00Speaker 1: the game where he went up against Chase Burns, who
- 17:03Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about in this video in a
- 17:04Speaker 1: minute as well. He pitched well, but his bullpend kind
- 17:08Speaker 1: of let him down in that game. Redone continues to
- 17:11Speaker 1: pitch well, though up against Toronto. His numbers are kind
- 17:14Speaker 1: of mediocre and seventy nine at bats twenty two to
- 17:17Speaker 1: seven strike a walk ratio is pretty good, but vlad
- 17:19Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior absolutely annihilates him. He's eight for twelve, often
- 17:23Speaker 1: with two doubles, a home run, four RBIs, three walks
- 17:27Speaker 1: and no strikeouts. So if you want to look for
- 17:29Speaker 1: some player prop potential there, I always recommend hits plus
- 17:32Speaker 1: runs pass RBIs. Guerrero very good against Redon Overall, Redona
- 17:37Speaker 1: is a lot of two sixty six average and seven
- 17:39Speaker 1: to eighty one ops to Toronto's hitters, which pretty mediocre
- 17:44Speaker 1: numbers there, mediocre with a somewhat bad OPS. But again,
- 17:47Speaker 1: a lot of that damage has been done by Guerrero.
- 17:51Speaker 1: I still think we probably trust Redona a little bit
- 17:53Speaker 1: more than Max Schurzer right now because Schurezer is still
- 17:55Speaker 1: trying to come back from injury and he is forty
- 17:58Speaker 1: years old now to wait, I think it's kind of
- 18:01Speaker 1: a wait and see with Shrezer here though, Uh, five
- 18:04Speaker 1: point sixty three y one point five whit not very
- 18:06Speaker 1: good numbers, Sothough we did see Verlander pitch pretty well yesterday. Shurezer,
- 18:11Speaker 1: I mean, he's only made two starts this season. He
- 18:14Speaker 1: made one really early in the season, only went three
- 18:16Speaker 1: innings against Baltimore.
- 18:19Speaker 3: He got injured and he came back recently.
- 18:22Speaker 1: In his last start, which was five days ago, he
- 18:25Speaker 1: went five innings against Cleveland, gave up three on runs.
- 18:27Speaker 1: It wasn't terrible, but he did walk three guys and
- 18:30Speaker 1: he had four strikeouts, so he had a little bit
- 18:33Speaker 1: of wildness. But maybe you know, coming back from injury
- 18:36Speaker 1: or trying to work your way back, maybe your stuff.
- 18:39Speaker 1: You know, your control just isn't quite there yet, So
- 18:41Speaker 1: we might see Schurzer get a little bit better as
- 18:43Speaker 1: the season goes on.
- 18:44Speaker 3: It's hard to tell.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Man, he does historically have pretty good numbers against the Yankees,
- 18:48Speaker 1: but again we're talking about future Hall of Fame pitcher
- 18:51Speaker 1: has been really good in the past. Obviously, even in
- 18:54Speaker 1: the recent past one hundred and forty seven at bats
- 18:56Speaker 1: he has against the Yankees, he has a ridiculous sixty
- 18:59Speaker 1: to nine strike a walk ratio against them, UH two
- 19:02Speaker 1: twenty four average and six to seventy one ops.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Uh.
- 19:05Speaker 3: Stanton has hit him well, So lucky the Yankees.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Lucky for the Yankees they have Stanton back because he's
- 19:11Speaker 1: seven for twenty five off of the four home runs.
- 19:15Speaker 1: My overall, Shurezer has done well against the Yankees, but
- 19:20Speaker 1: I'm not sure that this is quite the right spot
- 19:22Speaker 1: for Although the money does look like it's kind of
- 19:24Speaker 1: coming in against the Yankees, though they're down for minus
- 19:27Speaker 1: one forty eight to minus one thirty seven. Here fifty
- 19:29Speaker 1: two tickets fifty three percent of cash on Toronto, I'm
- 19:32Speaker 1: not sure that I buy that a higher ticket the
- 19:34Speaker 1: ticket percentages on Toronto, Like, do you really think the
- 19:37Speaker 1: public is not playing the Yankees here. I mean, I
- 19:40Speaker 1: know they know Max Shurs are the name, but still
- 19:43Speaker 1: I highly doubt it they're gonna look at him and say, oh,
- 19:45Speaker 1: he's old, he's only made two starts, he has an
- 19:47Speaker 1: era in the fives. I highly doubt that Toronto is
- 19:51Speaker 1: the public side here. It does look like the money
- 19:53Speaker 1: is kind of coming in on them, though, and maybe
- 19:55Speaker 1: it's just professionals thinking, well, the Yankees probably just shouldn't
- 19:59Speaker 1: be that much of a faith here if it's gonna
- 20:00Speaker 1: be maybe a pitching duel. It looks like public on
- 20:04Speaker 1: the over as well. Eighty percent of tickets but eighty
- 20:06Speaker 1: five percent of the cash. It looks like some juice
- 20:09Speaker 1: is coming on the over. That kind of surprises me
- 20:11Speaker 1: a little bit. Although the bullpens could be in line
- 20:14Speaker 1: to maybe give up some runs later in this game,
- 20:16Speaker 1: but the starting pitching matchup kind of looks like it
- 20:19Speaker 1: would be a little bit more conducive to an under
- 20:23Speaker 1: than an over. But I don't want to deal with
- 20:24Speaker 1: that game at all. Man, it's a very tough game
- 20:26Speaker 1: to read. Andrew, what's up, man? You watched Angels Nats yesterday?
- 20:32Speaker 1: I forget what happened. I don't even remember what happened
- 20:34Speaker 1: at the end of that game. Man, you should be
- 20:37Speaker 1: ashamed to be a Californian for a lot of reasons,
- 20:40Speaker 1: not just because the Angels are bad. I'll bend to
- 20:43Speaker 1: game out there by the way, I had fun. I
- 20:45Speaker 1: went to an Angels game in probably twenty thirteen.
- 20:49Speaker 3: I was out there.
- 20:49Speaker 1: I was out there for a graphics conference with my
- 20:52Speaker 1: previous company. I went out there with the graphics guy
- 20:56Speaker 1: from my previous company, and he didn't want to go
- 20:58Speaker 1: to the baseball game.
- 20:59Speaker 3: He was not a sports guy. So I was like,
- 21:01Speaker 3: all right, well, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go to
- 21:03Speaker 3: the game.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Because the Angels were playing at home, and they do
- 21:06Speaker 1: this thing at the Angels Stadium where the last hour
- 21:09Speaker 1: before the game they sell half priced tickets because the
- 21:13Speaker 1: games usually don't sell out, and this is a game
- 21:14Speaker 1: against like the Twins, so nobody really wanted to go
- 21:18Speaker 1: to that game.
- 21:19Speaker 3: So I was like, hell, yeah, all right. So I
- 21:20Speaker 3: got like a pretty decent ticket.
- 21:22Speaker 1: I think I was like six rows back a bit
- 21:25Speaker 1: like I was down like the right field line, a
- 21:27Speaker 1: little bit like not too far, like past the infield,
- 21:30Speaker 1: like decent seats.
- 21:31Speaker 3: It was a nice night to watch a game.
- 21:34Speaker 1: The game went extra innings too, so it's a pretty
- 21:36Speaker 1: entertaining game with no ghost runners back in the day,
- 21:39Speaker 1: so it went like twelve thirteen innings, kind of insane
- 21:42Speaker 1: because I'm an East Coaster, so I think the game
- 21:44Speaker 1: must have ended at like three am East Coast time,
- 21:47Speaker 1: but it was like midnight out there on the Pacific Coast,
- 21:49Speaker 1: and I was in a section that was like almost
- 21:52Speaker 1: all Twins fans, which was kind of even more crazy.
- 21:55Speaker 3: And the Twins won the game.
- 21:57Speaker 1: And then this woman that I was talking to at
- 22:01Speaker 1: the game, who was sitting with me and whatever, she
- 22:05Speaker 1: offered me a ride back to my hotel and was like,
- 22:08Speaker 1: you don't want to have to get a cab. You
- 22:09Speaker 1: don't want to have to go through, like you know,
- 22:11Speaker 1: these bad areas of Anaheim.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Let me just drive you.
- 22:14Speaker 1: I'm like, I mean, okay, look, you're you're putting your
- 22:18Speaker 1: life in your hands there with all. Though she was
- 22:20Speaker 1: kind of a large woman though, so I was like,
- 22:22Speaker 1: I should have been more afraid than she than she
- 22:25Speaker 1: would have been really to me, honest, yeah, I don't
- 22:29Speaker 1: know if she was trying to make something happen there,
- 22:31Speaker 1: but I was like, no, thanks, ma'am, thanks thanks for
- 22:35Speaker 1: the ride.
- 22:35Speaker 3: I'm just going to go back into my hotel now.
- 22:38Speaker 1: And I met up with my roommate again, they're the
- 22:40Speaker 1: graphics guy, and we hung out at the bar and
- 22:43Speaker 1: we both kind of fought over the waitress that we
- 22:47Speaker 1: had there and both of us failed, by the way,
- 22:50Speaker 1: so that that was a fun night though nonetheless had
- 22:54Speaker 1: a fun time at the the Angels game. There's that's
- 22:56Speaker 1: another toad story. That's a and a side there. Let's
- 22:59Speaker 1: get through these games. Cincinnati at the Boston Red Sox.
- 23:03Speaker 1: My Boston Red Sox, not playing well, lost to Toronto yesterday.
- 23:07Speaker 3: Walker Bueller should ship him out of town.
- 23:10Speaker 1: As I said, it was a terrible offseason acquisition. Walker
- 23:14Speaker 1: Bueller is never gonna be good again. Man, He's never
- 23:16Speaker 1: gonna return back from injury. He's pathetic, just awful. So
- 23:22Speaker 1: he pitched yesterday, did bad. The Red Sox had to
- 23:24Speaker 1: use some of their bullpen. Yesterday's the Red Sox bullpen
- 23:27Speaker 1: not exactly in great shape. Although it's probably better that
- 23:30Speaker 1: Zach Kelly pitched yesterday because that means he's not available today,
- 23:34Speaker 1: which is probably better for the Red Sox.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Because Zach Kelly.
- 23:36Speaker 1: That guy should have gone out of town a long
- 23:38Speaker 1: time ago as well. Get rid of these guys, man,
- 23:41Speaker 1: Zach Kelly sucks. Cincinnati is coming into town. They just
- 23:45Speaker 1: beat San Diego. They had a pretty good series against
- 23:47Speaker 1: San Diego. Cincinnati used a lot of their bullpen as well, though,
- 23:51Speaker 1: So the bullpen situation, I hate to say it, but
- 23:54Speaker 1: probably still is a little bit in favor of the
- 23:56Speaker 1: Red Sox here. But we're not gonna I have a
- 23:59Speaker 1: player in this game. Actually, we're not gonna take into
- 24:01Speaker 1: account the bullpens here. We're going under in the first
- 24:04Speaker 1: five innings in this game, and I've found it out
- 24:06Speaker 1: there at under four at minus one twenty. You know me,
- 24:10Speaker 1: I don't like going under the three and a half.
- 24:12Speaker 1: I like having that extra half run in your pocket
- 24:14Speaker 1: because if you have a two to two tie or
- 24:16Speaker 1: whatever at the end of five innings, you don't want
- 24:19Speaker 1: to lose that bet. You'd much rather push the bet.
- 24:21Speaker 1: So I think it is worth it to pay up
- 24:22Speaker 1: to minus one twenty to get it to four, because
- 24:25Speaker 1: three and a half is just you're really really pushing it.
- 24:28Speaker 1: But I like to starting pitching matchup here quite a bit. Man,
- 24:31Speaker 1: I will take the bullpens out because I don't really
- 24:33Speaker 1: think the bullpen's are gonna be great here. But you
- 24:36Speaker 1: got Chase Burns pitching for Cincinnati, who I just reference.
- 24:39Speaker 1: He's only making his second start ever. Hey, he's actually
- 24:43Speaker 1: from Italy. I didn't realize that that's Burns. Is that
- 24:46Speaker 1: an Italian name? I don't think so Bern eat Si
- 24:51Speaker 1: Chase Burns. He made one start so far against the Yankees.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Give up three runs in five innings, So five point
- 24:56Speaker 1: four ERA one point two whip doesn't look that impressive.
- 25:00Speaker 1: But if you look at what that start was, he's
- 25:02Speaker 1: pitching a great American ballpark, which is a very difficult
- 25:05Speaker 1: ballpark to pitch in. He did give up a home run,
- 25:07Speaker 1: which kind of that's gonna hurt you a little bit.
- 25:10Speaker 1: He had eight strikeouts and no walks against a really
- 25:13Speaker 1: good Yankee lineup, so I would say that is pretty impressive.
- 25:16Speaker 3: Man. So I like Chase Burns.
- 25:18Speaker 1: As I pointed out when he was coming up, I
- 25:20Speaker 1: kind of compared him to Mizierowski, although I don't know
- 25:22Speaker 1: if he's gonna be as good as him. But Burns
- 25:25Speaker 1: is a strikeout pitcher, He's a power pitcher. He throws
- 25:28Speaker 1: really hard. He can he can hit one hundred miles
- 25:30Speaker 1: an hour on the gun, I believe, just like Mizierowski
- 25:33Speaker 1: as well. He has a really really sharp slider as well.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Burns I think really only kind of has a three
- 25:39Speaker 1: pitch arsenal, though Mizierowski more of like a four pitch arsenal.
- 25:42Speaker 1: But Burns obviously has the ability to strike out guys
- 25:46Speaker 1: in a major league level. I mean, you have a
- 25:47Speaker 1: young guy with real talent like that up against an
- 25:51Speaker 1: offense that's never seen it before. I think Burns is
- 25:54Speaker 1: gonna have a little bit of an edge there early
- 25:56Speaker 1: on with the Red Sox having to figure him out.
- 25:57Speaker 1: In the Red Sox a lot of young hitters too
- 25:59Speaker 1: there have to try to figure this guy out. I
- 26:01Speaker 1: think Burns does have the advantage. And then on the
- 26:04Speaker 1: other side of it, we have the only pitcher that
- 26:06Speaker 1: I would really trust with an under for the Red Sox.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet is pitching two point oh six ERA one
- 26:13Speaker 1: point oh two whip. He's been really good this month
- 26:15Speaker 1: with a ridiculous forty six to seven strikeout walk ratio.
- 26:19Speaker 1: I think he might be leading the major leagues as
- 26:21Speaker 1: strikeouts with one hundred and thirty five. He's just been
- 26:25Speaker 1: really good overall.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Man.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Red Sox have won four of his last five starts.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Lost his last outing, even though he pitched seven shutout
- 26:32Speaker 1: innings against Anaheim and struck out ten. Red Sox bullpen
- 26:35Speaker 1: completely blew it for him. He has a two point
- 26:38Speaker 1: one ERA this month. I mean, he deserves better than
- 26:41Speaker 1: this Red Sox offense. Man, and this month he's allowed
- 26:44Speaker 1: more than one earned run once, which was against the Yankees.
- 26:47Speaker 1: One time he allowed five runs, but he still had
- 26:49Speaker 1: a good outing in that one. Nine strikeouts, one walk.
- 26:53Speaker 1: You have to go all the way back to April
- 26:55Speaker 1: twenty fourth to find another start where he allowed more
- 26:57Speaker 1: than two urned runs and he's only done that twice
- 27:01Speaker 1: all season. I mean, we don't have to be labor this.
- 27:02Speaker 1: We know Cruchet is good. The Reds have not seen
- 27:06Speaker 1: a whole lot of only five hitters on the Reds
- 27:08Speaker 1: have seen it before, and they're one for ten Offen.
- 27:11Speaker 1: The one hit is a Spencer Steer three run double,
- 27:14Speaker 1: it looks like. But other than that, he's got an
- 27:16Speaker 1: eight to two strike on walk ratio. So he's recorded
- 27:21Speaker 1: nine outs in his career against Cincinnati hitters, and eight
- 27:25Speaker 1: of them have been by way of the strikeout. He's
- 27:27Speaker 1: sell them to a one hundred average of four to
- 27:29Speaker 1: fifty ops. So yeah, I like Crushet. Both pictures pretty
- 27:34Speaker 1: unfamiliar to the opposing hitters, pretty unfamiliar.
- 27:36Speaker 3: Are very unfamiliar.
- 27:38Speaker 1: They both are really good strike up pictures. Yeah, I
- 27:41Speaker 1: think it's a good situation to go under this total here.
- 27:44Speaker 1: But again, take the bullpens out, go under first five
- 27:47Speaker 1: innings here and hope you can get four on this
- 27:49Speaker 1: because this total is dropping. The total has already gone
- 27:52Speaker 1: down from eight juice to the over to seven and
- 27:54Speaker 1: a half jute to the over, which is a pretty
- 27:56Speaker 1: significant move. We see fifty six percent of tickets on
- 27:59Speaker 1: the over, fifty four percent of the cash on the under,
- 28:01Speaker 1: So the real money to me, looks like it is
- 28:03Speaker 1: definitely coming in on the under. So I think you
- 28:06Speaker 1: had to get this before the line gets a little
- 28:09Speaker 1: bit too crazy. If you go full game under on this,
- 28:14Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit riskier. I would not
- 28:16Speaker 1: disagree with that, but I do think it's a little
- 28:18Speaker 1: bit riskier. I think it's preferred to go first five
- 28:21Speaker 1: innings under in that one. All right, a's Tampa Bay.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Let's go with another first five under. How about that
- 28:28Speaker 1: this one? I saw it under four, just straight up
- 28:30Speaker 1: at minus one ten. I like the under in this
- 28:33Speaker 1: one too, man, I think we're getting a little bit
- 28:36Speaker 1: more value on this one. I think because Jacob Lopez,
- 28:39Speaker 1: even though he has more of a history than Chase
- 28:40Speaker 1: Burns does. Lopez, I've been talking about how he's really
- 28:43Speaker 1: hard to handicap. But I'm basically about to lean towards
- 28:48Speaker 1: Lopez is actually good and we are actually getting some
- 28:51Speaker 1: value here looking towards Lopez. But in this case, I'm
- 28:54Speaker 1: gonna recommend an under. We have Tampa Bay here returning
- 28:57Speaker 1: home from a road trip. I think went to Kansas City,
- 29:00Speaker 1: wet Kansas City, and then they lost too out of
- 29:01Speaker 1: three against Baltimore. But again, whenever you turn return over
- 29:05Speaker 1: from a road trip, man, I always talk about you
- 29:07Speaker 1: gotta get back to family life.
- 29:09Speaker 3: I can be a little bit difficult. It can be
- 29:10Speaker 3: a little bit of a distraction.
- 29:12Speaker 1: It's not exactly like the A's or a team that's
- 29:14Speaker 1: really gonna draw your full attention. So I think we
- 29:17Speaker 1: might see some distracted hitting out of Tampa here. And
- 29:21Speaker 1: now I don't want to do anything with the bullpen's here.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Tampa's bullpen is pretty good, but of course the A's
- 29:26Speaker 1: bullpen is terrible, so I want nothing to do with them.
- 29:29Speaker 3: Tampa's bullpen is good, though they didn't use much of.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Their bullpend yesterday in a game that was like already
- 29:34Speaker 1: a loss, so they just didn't bother with it.
- 29:36Speaker 3: But I don't want anything to do with the A's bullpen.
- 29:38Speaker 1: The A's are coming in off that series against the Yankees,
- 29:41Speaker 1: and they're starting a third straight road series, and their
- 29:44Speaker 1: bats might be a little bit tired as well, So
- 29:46Speaker 1: I'm starting to definitely like the idea of this under here.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Well obviously I do, because I'm giving it out as
- 29:51Speaker 1: a play here. The A's used four relief pitchers yesterday,
- 29:54Speaker 1: so again, not the greatest spot for their bullpen either,
- 29:57Speaker 1: But we're not gonna worry about their bullpen. We're only
- 29:59Speaker 1: gonna focused on Jacob Lopez. And if you look at
- 30:02Speaker 1: what this guy is doing, man, he's a three point
- 30:05Speaker 1: five sixty RA one point three whip, which I know,
- 30:08Speaker 1: his whip a little bit too high as far as
- 30:11Speaker 1: his splits, yeah, I mean he has a four point
- 30:13Speaker 1: five ROADYRA, which is not good. Surprising He's pitching way
- 30:16Speaker 1: better at home at that ridiculous home run park in Sacramento,
- 30:21Speaker 1: but his roady IRA is going down. If you look
- 30:24Speaker 1: at what he's been doing recently, he's been really, really good.
- 30:28Speaker 1: The A's have won four straight games, including a road
- 30:30Speaker 1: game against Detroit last time out where he shut them
- 30:33Speaker 1: out at Detroit seven shutout inning, six strikeouts, one walk,
- 30:38Speaker 1: three hits. And this guy's still not being lined like
- 30:41Speaker 1: he's anything good. He has a thirty eight to eight
- 30:43Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio this month, well over one strike
- 30:46Speaker 1: up per inning, well below one hit per inning, hasn't
- 30:49Speaker 1: a lot of home run in four straight starts, two
- 30:51Speaker 1: of those being at home, as well, one point nine
- 30:54Speaker 1: to eighty ra this month. I mean, he is in
- 30:56Speaker 1: really good form right now. I was, dude, like Lopez.
- 31:00Speaker 1: He came out and he had that crazy start against
- 31:02Speaker 1: Philly where he struck out eight, and I was like,
- 31:05Speaker 1: man like.
- 31:05Speaker 3: How did that happen? Is this guy good?
- 31:07Speaker 1: And then he got bombed by Toronto the last time out,
- 31:09Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, maybe he's not good. He did
- 31:11Speaker 1: bad again the next time out against Minnesota, except that
- 31:14Speaker 1: he struck out nine guys in that outing, and then
- 31:17Speaker 1: since then, Like basically he's worked his way back in.
- 31:20Speaker 1: He's been pretty much good since then. He's allowed zero
- 31:23Speaker 1: earned runs in three of his last four starts and
- 31:25Speaker 1: allowed one in the other. He's had at least six
- 31:30Speaker 1: strikeouts in four of his last five starts, nine in
- 31:33Speaker 1: three of the last five.
- 31:35Speaker 3: So he is.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Definitely pitching well right now. And the Rays have never
- 31:39Speaker 1: seen him before. So Lopez obviously has good strikeout stuff.
- 31:43Speaker 1: I don't know where he came from. I don't know
- 31:44Speaker 1: how he's doing this, but he's doing it. He has
- 31:47Speaker 1: good strikeout stuff. He's up against a mediocre offense that
- 31:50Speaker 1: has never seen it before. I think Lopez does have
- 31:53Speaker 1: a bit of an edge here, and he's up against
- 31:55Speaker 1: the most trustworthy of Tampa's pitchers, Drew Rasmussen, who's putting
- 31:59Speaker 1: together nice that's the season two point four to five
- 32:01Speaker 1: ERA point nine to six whip. He's been better at
- 32:06Speaker 1: home actually, even though this is I know this is
- 32:07Speaker 1: a hitter friendly park, so you do have to worry
- 32:10Speaker 1: a little bit.
- 32:10Speaker 3: But it is a night game, so.
- 32:11Speaker 1: At least like balls are gonna tend to sail out
- 32:15Speaker 1: of this park more during the day. But Rasmussen and Lopez.
- 32:19Speaker 1: I mean, Lopez is used to pitching in a home
- 32:21Speaker 1: run friendly park, right, So that's another thing I like
- 32:23Speaker 1: about this is that Lopez has actually been really good
- 32:26Speaker 1: in that Sacramento park, even though it is home run friendly.
- 32:29Speaker 3: So he's used to pitching in.
- 32:30Speaker 1: Parks like this where balls tend to sail out. So
- 32:34Speaker 1: even though I think Lopez is a fly ball pitcher,
- 32:36Speaker 1: so that's a little bit of a concern, but go figure.
- 32:39Speaker 1: And then, of course Rasmussen is used to pitching here
- 32:41Speaker 1: because that's what he's been doing this season. He has
- 32:44Speaker 1: not allowed many home runs this year. He's allowed five
- 32:47Speaker 1: at home and three on the road, but that's still
- 32:49Speaker 1: not that bad. And again at home, he's been even
- 32:52Speaker 1: better with a two point one six ERA at Steinbrenner Field.
- 32:55Speaker 1: Here Tampa has won seven of his last eight starts
- 33:03Speaker 1: this month. He is a two point seven to three ERA.
- 33:05Speaker 1: He's allowed only more than two earned runs once in
- 33:08Speaker 1: these five starts this month, the twenty four to seven
- 33:10Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio. The worst start that he had
- 33:13Speaker 1: was against the Mets, and he's still gotta win in
- 33:15Speaker 1: that one give up four earned runs. He's given up
- 33:19Speaker 1: two and zero earned runs in the other starts, although
- 33:21Speaker 1: granted they were against weaker offenses. The A's offense is
- 33:25Speaker 1: just okay. And against the A's offense, they're zero for
- 33:29Speaker 1: eight with four strikeouts career off Rasmussen with two walks.
- 33:33Speaker 1: So Rasmussen uh is pretty unfamiliar to the As hitters
- 33:37Speaker 1: and when they have faced him, they have not done well.
- 33:40Speaker 1: So Under is gonna be the recommended player. But in
- 33:43Speaker 1: the first five innings, because I don't want anything to
- 33:45Speaker 1: do with Oakland's or the A's bullpen, would just see
- 33:49Speaker 1: sixty percent of the cash sixty eight percent of tickets
- 33:51Speaker 1: on the over, which worries me a little bit. The
- 33:53Speaker 1: total did drop a little bit from eight and a
- 33:55Speaker 1: half juice to the under all the way down to eight,
- 33:58Speaker 1: So I do think that's a legit move. I think
- 34:00Speaker 1: Under is the right way to look at this man,
- 34:02Speaker 1: at least in the early parts of the game, when
- 34:04Speaker 1: you have the starters in there. Under in as Tampa.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Baltimore is at Texas, so this is a quick rematch
- 34:12Speaker 1: because Texas just won the series at Baltimore, so it
- 34:15Speaker 1: is a little bit of a revenge type of situation
- 34:18Speaker 1: for Baltimore. Here now is Texas went to Baltimore and
- 34:22Speaker 1: beat them in the last two of the three games there.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Texas coming off a divisional series as well. It was
- 34:27Speaker 1: a tough series. They lost two out of three to Seattle.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Texas didn't have to use that much of their bullpen
- 34:33Speaker 1: yesterday because Jack Lighter actually did pretty well yesterday for them.
- 34:36Speaker 1: So Texas bullpen is pretty good and it's in good
- 34:38Speaker 1: shape here. Obviously, Texas has the better bullpen, so you
- 34:42Speaker 1: got to keep that in mind. Baltimore is coming up
- 34:45Speaker 1: a series where they did pretty well against Tampa, but
- 34:48Speaker 1: they might carry that momentum out on the road even
- 34:50Speaker 1: though that.
- 34:50Speaker 3: Is a big divisional series.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Baltimore is in last place, man, so I don't really
- 34:54Speaker 1: know that they're gonna overlook anybody. They might still be
- 34:57Speaker 1: focused going out on the road to start as years
- 35:00Speaker 1: against Texas. Creamer actually did well for Baltimore yesterday and
- 35:04Speaker 1: they actually pretty much saved their bullpen as well. So
- 35:07Speaker 1: Baltimore's bullpen is bad, but maybe not in the worst
- 35:09Speaker 1: shape here. Trevor Rodgers pitching for Baltimore. He's a guy
- 35:14Speaker 1: who's kind of confused me.
- 35:15Speaker 3: Man.
- 35:16Speaker 1: One point six two ERA and point seven eight whips
- 35:19Speaker 1: so far in the majors this season. I didn't expect
- 35:22Speaker 1: him to do that much because his career numbers aren't
- 35:24Speaker 1: that good. He wasn't doing that well in the minors
- 35:26Speaker 1: this year, but he has been good so far out
- 35:30Speaker 1: with three starts in the majors this year, he has
- 35:32Speaker 1: a thirteen to three strike a walk ratio. He just
- 35:34Speaker 1: shut out this very Texas team for eight innings. However,
- 35:38Speaker 1: the issue with that is now that Texas has seen
- 35:41Speaker 1: him once, that probably means that Texas is gonna be
- 35:44Speaker 1: a little bit more familiar with him and they're gonna
- 35:45Speaker 1: maybe be able to hit him better this time out.
- 35:48Speaker 1: So I'm not expecting an eight and innings shutout this
- 35:50Speaker 1: time out of Rodgers, although Texas offense is really not
- 35:54Speaker 1: that good, so he may still do pretty well against
- 35:57Speaker 1: him again. And in fifty eight career bats against him
- 35:59Speaker 1: two seven average allowed five to sixty one ohps and
- 36:02Speaker 1: eleven to two strike a walk ratio. Really just Garcia
- 36:06Speaker 1: does well against the four for nine of the home
- 36:07Speaker 1: run so Rogers may very well do well again here,
- 36:11Speaker 1: although I don't expect him to do as well as
- 36:13Speaker 1: last time. But starting pitching wise, I think he probably
- 36:17Speaker 1: is the better of the two pitchers right now up
- 36:19Speaker 1: against Patrick KORbin, because you know I don't like Patrick
- 36:22Speaker 1: KORbin and his numbers are starting to get worse. That
- 36:25Speaker 1: expected regression is starting to happen with him four point
- 36:28Speaker 1: two four ERA, one point two eight whip. He hasn't
- 36:31Speaker 1: better at home with a three point six six ERA,
- 36:33Speaker 1: which is where he is here, but he's not in
- 36:36Speaker 1: good form this month with five point four to eighty RA.
- 36:39Speaker 3: That's not good.
- 36:39Speaker 1: He's giving up at least four runs in his last
- 36:41Speaker 1: two outings, only gone five innings in the last three.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Texas has lost a lot of his recent starts. Actually
- 36:49Speaker 1: seven of his last ten starts Texas has lost, although
- 36:52Speaker 1: he doesn't get a lot of run support either. Eighteen
- 36:55Speaker 1: to five straggle walk ratio this month isn't that bad,
- 36:58Speaker 1: but he's allowed more than one hit per inning. He's
- 37:00Speaker 1: allowed at least three or runs in his last three starts.
- 37:03Speaker 1: He's not really pitching that well right now against Baltimore.
- 37:06Speaker 1: He has not done well in his career. In fifty
- 37:08Speaker 1: six at bats, has a good thirteen to one striking
- 37:11Speaker 1: a walk ratio, but has allowed a three twenty one
- 37:13Speaker 1: average and eight to fifty one ops. So Baltimore's hitters
- 37:18Speaker 1: have done pretty well against Patrick Corbin, so I think
- 37:21Speaker 1: Rogers probably has the upper hand of this pitching matchup.
- 37:24Speaker 1: In the UH line has flipped from Baltimore plus one
- 37:28Speaker 1: to four to minus one to eleven, fifty six percent
- 37:30Speaker 1: of tickets fifty seven percent of the ash coming in
- 37:32Speaker 1: a Baltimore.
- 37:35Speaker 3: I probably agree with that overall.
- 37:37Speaker 1: I mean, I think Baltimore still might have that little
- 37:39Speaker 1: bit of quick revenge on their mind there, even though
- 37:42Speaker 1: Rogers again did just see this Texas offense. Did Corbin
- 37:47Speaker 1: face Baltimore, Well, yeah, so same thing actually for Corbyn.
- 37:50Speaker 3: Corbyn just faced.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Baltimore as well, So both pitchers are in that spot
- 37:53Speaker 1: where the opposing offense just saw them. Corbin gave up
- 37:56Speaker 1: five runs against Baltimore last time, way too many hits
- 37:59Speaker 1: nine hits, although he had six strikeouts no walks, which
- 38:02Speaker 1: is pretty good, but didn't really do too well in
- 38:06Speaker 1: that outing. So I still think Rogers, along with the
- 38:10Speaker 1: Baltimore revenge spot, makes more sense if you wanted to
- 38:13Speaker 1: go first five innings with Baltimore instead, that's fine as well,
- 38:17Speaker 1: just because Baltimore's bullpen is so bad, but Baltimore's bullpend
- 38:21Speaker 1: is rested, So if you did want to go full game,
- 38:24Speaker 1: I think that's still okay. Kansas City at Seattle. Let's
- 38:28Speaker 1: try to finish this off here. Seattle's coming home from
- 38:30Speaker 1: a long road trip. Man, they went to the Cubs,
- 38:33Speaker 1: they went to Minnesota and then Texas. Now they're returning home.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Seattle had to use a little bit of their bullpend yesterday. Man,
- 38:41Speaker 1: they used a couple of their better relievers. Yesterday they
- 38:43Speaker 1: used four relief pitchers. Seattle's bullpend pretty good, but maybe
- 38:47Speaker 1: not in the greatest spot here, But I'm still gonna
- 38:51Speaker 1: suck it up. But I'm gonna go under in the
- 38:53Speaker 1: full game here at seven and a half. I mean,
- 38:54Speaker 1: we're in a pitching friendly park here. I'm gonna talk
- 38:57Speaker 1: about the starting pitching in a minute. I like the
- 38:58Speaker 1: starting pitching matchup for the and I think Seattle's bullpen
- 39:01Speaker 1: is still like decent enough and they're up against a
- 39:04Speaker 1: very weak Kansas City offense. So I think it's okay
- 39:07Speaker 1: still that we're gonna roll with full game here, because
- 39:09Speaker 1: if you look at the numbers on this, if you
- 39:12Speaker 1: want to go first five innings on this, you can,
- 39:14Speaker 1: but you're I'm gonna go under three and a half
- 39:17Speaker 1: on this one. I just really don't love that, Zach.
- 39:19Speaker 1: What's up man? Yeah, Waka is pitching today. That is correct.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Kansas City coming in off of a series against the Dodgers.
- 39:27Speaker 1: It is a big series, so both teams are kind
- 39:30Speaker 1: of in somewhat distracted spots because Seattle's returning home from
- 39:33Speaker 1: that long road trip, so their hitters might be a
- 39:35Speaker 1: bit distracted. Kansas City, their hitters aren't good anyway, and
- 39:39Speaker 1: they might be a little bit distracted coming down from
- 39:41Speaker 1: that series against LA. Although they do at least get
- 39:44Speaker 1: to go on the road now, but they do have
- 39:46Speaker 1: to fly to the Pacific coast, which can kind of
- 39:48Speaker 1: affect your like biological clock, and it can kind of
- 39:51Speaker 1: affect your timing.
- 39:52Speaker 3: A little bit.
- 39:53Speaker 1: So I think there are reasons to kind of think
- 39:55Speaker 1: that both offenses might struggle a bit here.
- 39:58Speaker 3: In addition to just looking at the pitch matchup here.
- 40:01Speaker 1: Kansas City's bullpen is still a pretty good bullpend though,
- 40:05Speaker 1: and usage wise yesterday, I don't think it was that extreme.
- 40:09Speaker 1: I think they use four relievers. Yeah, they use four
- 40:12Speaker 1: relief pitchers. Theydn't use like their best bullpen arms yesterday,
- 40:16Speaker 1: so I think including the bullpens here, I think is
- 40:19Speaker 1: still fine and hopefully we get the starting pitching gets
- 40:22Speaker 1: us deep enough into this game. But we don't have
- 40:23Speaker 1: to use the bullpens that much, or the teams don't.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Michael walker pitching for the Royals, as Zach just said,
- 40:29Speaker 1: three point three to three ERA, one point two to WHIP.
- 40:32Speaker 3: He is a little bit worse on the road three.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Point nine to eighty RA, but again still pretty good though,
- 40:38Speaker 1: and he is pitching in a pitcher friendly park here.
- 40:40Speaker 1: Waka has been good this month with a twenty four
- 40:42Speaker 1: to six strike a walk ra issue even though he
- 40:44Speaker 1: does have a four point six to three ERA, which
- 40:47Speaker 1: isn't that good. He had one start where you give
- 40:49Speaker 1: it five runs against the A's. Other than that, he's
- 40:51Speaker 1: allowed three or one earned running, got six innings in
- 40:54Speaker 1: the other three, even though his team lost three.
- 40:56Speaker 3: To four of his starts this month.
- 40:59Speaker 1: But he he's getting absolutely no run support, obviously, which
- 41:02Speaker 1: we're going with an under here.
- 41:03Speaker 3: The Royals cannot hit.
- 41:05Speaker 1: But Walko has been pitching pretty well, man, I mean,
- 41:07Speaker 1: he's pretty consistent. That five run performance the As put
- 41:12Speaker 1: up against him, that was the only time he allowed
- 41:13Speaker 1: more than four and runs all season up against Seattle,
- 41:17Speaker 1: he does have good numbers and seventy six at bats,
- 41:20Speaker 1: so even though they're familiar with him, they haven't hit
- 41:21Speaker 1: him that well. Twenty three to six strike a walk
- 41:24Speaker 1: ratio has on him to a one ninety seven batting
- 41:26Speaker 1: average in that large sample size, although six ninety nine
- 41:30Speaker 1: ohps a little bit high because he's allowed five home runs,
- 41:34Speaker 1: but I'm not that worried about that because this is
- 41:37Speaker 1: a park that isn't that home run conduce of George
- 41:41Speaker 1: Kirby is pitching for Seattle and he's working his way
- 41:43Speaker 1: back from injuries. Numbers don't look good, but I think
- 41:46Speaker 1: because his ERA is bad five point four, I think
- 41:48Speaker 1: we might be getting a little bit of value on
- 41:50Speaker 1: the under here. One point two eight whips. So his
- 41:53Speaker 1: numbers don't look good. He's been worse at home so
- 41:56Speaker 1: far this year the sixth ERA, But if you look
- 41:58Speaker 1: at his career numbers, most of these Seattle pitchers, including him,
- 42:01Speaker 1: they're usually better at home. They're pretty good pictures in general,
- 42:06Speaker 1: and if you look at his recent stats, he's been
- 42:08Speaker 1: a lot better than his season stats would suggest. Since
- 42:12Speaker 1: the last time he's come back from well, actually yeah,
- 42:15Speaker 1: basically since the starts that he made in May, because
- 42:19Speaker 1: he was injured to start the season basically, so he
- 42:22Speaker 1: had a late start to the season, so I think
- 42:24Speaker 1: he was just a little bit shaky trying to get
- 42:26Speaker 1: back into form. And if you discount what he did
- 42:29Speaker 1: in May is June has been good with a twenty
- 42:32Speaker 1: eight to six strike a walk ratio three point five
- 42:35Speaker 1: four ERA, even though his strikeout numbers went back down
- 42:38Speaker 1: after a really crazy fourteen strike up performance. But his
- 42:41Speaker 1: last two starts are on the road, one against the Cubs,
- 42:44Speaker 1: who are a pretty good line. I'd give up four
- 42:46Speaker 1: runs in that one, but limited the damage because he
- 42:49Speaker 1: did give up to them runs in that one. That
- 42:50Speaker 1: wasn't that bad considering that the Cubs are a good
- 42:54Speaker 1: offensive team. And then he bounced back really nicely with
- 42:57Speaker 1: a six inning, one run formans with three hits allowed,
- 43:01Speaker 1: one walk, three strikeouts against Minnesota. They're not a very
- 43:04Speaker 1: good offense, but Kansas City's probably an even worse offense,
- 43:08Speaker 1: so he's facing a really weak offense here and up
- 43:11Speaker 1: against Kansas City forty four career at bats, he has
- 43:15Speaker 1: an eight zero strike a walk ratio against him, a
- 43:17Speaker 1: one to eighty two average allowed in four to fifty
- 43:19Speaker 1: one ohps. Kansas City has very weak numbers up against
- 43:23Speaker 1: George Kirby, so under, I think is the right way
- 43:26Speaker 1: to look at this. We have fifty one percent of
- 43:27Speaker 1: tickets on the over, seventy seven percent of the cash
- 43:30Speaker 1: coming in on the under, and we see more juice
- 43:32Speaker 1: coming in in a total the total was already lying low,
- 43:35Speaker 1: so that again the odds makers lining it at seven
- 43:37Speaker 1: and a half to open with juice on the under. Already,
- 43:40Speaker 1: that's the odds makers telling you they think it's gonna
- 43:42Speaker 1: be a low scoring game.
- 43:43Speaker 3: More juice is coming on the under. So I would
- 43:45Speaker 3: get this.
- 43:47Speaker 1: If you can get it under seven and a half,
- 43:49Speaker 1: obviously that's the way to go under seven probably still fine.
- 43:52Speaker 1: I would not want to go under six and a half, though,
- 43:55Speaker 1: so do without what you will.
- 43:56Speaker 3: But seven is a.
- 43:57Speaker 1: Key number in baseball, man, because it is the number
- 44:00Speaker 1: that breaks the three to three tie. Those are the
- 44:03Speaker 1: three plays today, and then we do have San Francisco
- 44:05Speaker 1: at Arizona to finish the baseball board off Arizona staying
- 44:09Speaker 1: at home after getting swept by Miami and losing by
- 44:14Speaker 1: one to one and two runs in those three games
- 44:16Speaker 1: this Arizona man, their hitting has been fine, I mean
- 44:20Speaker 1: they were able to score in that series, but they're
- 44:23Speaker 1: pitching is awful. Their starting pitching has been bad. They're
- 44:26Speaker 1: bullpen has been bad all season. Things are not looking
- 44:29Speaker 1: good for Arizona hero although they might be a little
- 44:31Speaker 1: bit pissed and they're probably gonna be focused with a
- 44:34Speaker 1: team that's above them and their division coming into their place.
- 44:37Speaker 1: So maybe Arizona's gonna show up here and be really
- 44:40Speaker 1: angry San Francisco. The one thing you could say is
- 44:43Speaker 1: at San Francisco, their offense is worse than Arizona's offense,
- 44:46Speaker 1: so there's one advantage for Arizona's that their offense is better.
- 44:50Speaker 1: San Francisco's coming out of an embarrassing couple of series.
- 44:53Speaker 1: They got swept by Miami too at home, So both
- 44:56Speaker 1: these teams just got swept by Miami and San Francisco
- 45:00Speaker 1: when their last series lost to the White Sox, which
- 45:02Speaker 1: is crazy. Now the return they're coming back from Chicago
- 45:07Speaker 1: to Arizona for this, but both teams might be a
- 45:10Speaker 1: little bit focused here because they're coming off.
- 45:11Speaker 3: Such bad performances.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Yesterday, Arizona used more of their bullpen yesterday, and their
- 45:16Speaker 1: bullpen is terrible anyway, so obviously San Francisco does have
- 45:20Speaker 1: the better bullpen.
- 45:21Speaker 3: I mean, it's very simple here.
- 45:22Speaker 1: San Francisco has the better pitching, including the starting pitching
- 45:26Speaker 1: in this game, and Arizona has the better hitting, and
- 45:28Speaker 1: the public usually likes hitting. I usually lean more towards
- 45:32Speaker 1: the pitching, and that's probably.
- 45:34Speaker 3: The way that I would lean here.
- 45:35Speaker 1: I mean, you got Logan Web on the mound here.
- 45:37Speaker 1: So he is the best of San Francisco starters two
- 45:40Speaker 1: point five two ERA one point one to four whip.
- 45:43Speaker 1: He is a little bit worse on the road though,
- 45:45Speaker 1: the three point seven to five array, so he does
- 45:47Speaker 1: become more hittable on the road. He's been really good
- 45:50Speaker 1: this month and five starts, one point eight five ERA,
- 45:53Speaker 1: thirty six to six strike out walk ratio, although and
- 45:57Speaker 1: he didn't walk anybody in three of the five starts.
- 45:59Speaker 1: Although his team only won three of the five starts
- 46:02Speaker 1: because his team can't hit up against Arizona. He does
- 46:05Speaker 1: have good numbers in a large one hundred and twenty
- 46:08Speaker 1: six at bat sample size thirty two to five strang
- 46:11Speaker 1: a walk ratio one ninety eight average five to twenty
- 46:14Speaker 1: three ohps, so he is in a large sample size,
- 46:17Speaker 1: he has done quite well against Arizona, so he has
- 46:20Speaker 1: stifled Arizona's offense.
- 46:22Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Even though Arizona they're gonna want to show up here,
- 46:26Speaker 1: they're gonna be an embarrassed team, but their offense, that's
- 46:30Speaker 1: the one edge they have here is their offense. And
- 46:32Speaker 1: obviously they can be stifled by Webb because he's done
- 46:35Speaker 1: it multiple times before. Arizona is Ryan Nelson pitching, and
- 46:40Speaker 1: he's pitching well the season, but I'm not really a
- 46:42Speaker 1: fan man. Webb is definitely the better pitcher, although Nelson,
- 46:45Speaker 1: I mean, we do have to admit that he's pitching
- 46:47Speaker 1: fairly well the season, three point seven to one ERA,
- 46:50Speaker 1: one point zero five WHIP. He's actually been better at home,
- 46:52Speaker 1: even though this is a pitcher from excuse a hitter
- 46:55Speaker 1: friendly park and Chase Field. Ryan Nelson with a two
- 46:58Speaker 1: point two five home y RA this month four point
- 47:01Speaker 1: three four ERA not really that good though, seventeen to
- 47:05Speaker 1: ten straggle walk ratio, so his strikeout walk ratio really
- 47:10Speaker 1: not good this month. But in his last three outings,
- 47:12Speaker 1: his team has won all three of them, and he's
- 47:14Speaker 1: allowed one or zero ear runs at all, three of
- 47:17Speaker 1: them against San Diego, who's pretty good, Toronto a decent offense,
- 47:21Speaker 1: and then the White Sox a terrible offense. But he's
- 47:26Speaker 1: kind of escaping, man, because he is still walking a
- 47:28Speaker 1: lot of guys. I don't know how he's doing this,
- 47:31Speaker 1: or actually, if you go all the way back through
- 47:35Speaker 1: all the way back to like mid April, he's allowed
- 47:37Speaker 1: more than a I guess, yeah.
- 47:39Speaker 3: More than two hour in runs and only one start.
- 47:41Speaker 1: But in a lot of these out or one outing,
- 47:43Speaker 1: I guess, and a lot of these he was coming
- 47:45Speaker 1: out of the bullpen for some of these outings, and
- 47:47Speaker 1: a lot of these outings he didn't throw that many
- 47:48Speaker 1: innings though, So I still don't think Nelson is that good,
- 47:53Speaker 1: and the Giants have good numbers against him at fifty
- 47:55Speaker 1: four at bats, eight four streke at walk ratio is
- 47:57Speaker 1: not very good two ninety six average eight forty five ops.
- 48:01Speaker 1: So I think the pitching matchup definitely in favor of
- 48:04Speaker 1: Web and the Giants, and they still have the better defense,
- 48:08Speaker 1: excuse me, the better pitching, and the public looks like
- 48:10Speaker 1: they're all over Arizona. Seventy two percent of tickets and
- 48:13Speaker 1: only sixty three percent of the cash.
- 48:15Speaker 3: And when you see.
- 48:17Speaker 1: A public home underdog like this, you almost always want
- 48:21Speaker 1: to go with.
- 48:21Speaker 3: The road favorite.
- 48:22Speaker 1: Even though San Francisco is down for one forty eight
- 48:24Speaker 1: to minus one thirty. I think it's San Francisco money
- 48:28Speaker 1: line in this game or pass. A full game I
- 48:30Speaker 1: think is fine, including the bullpens, because San Francisco does
- 48:33Speaker 1: have a bullpen edge as well. I don't know why
- 48:36Speaker 1: the money line dropped because it looks like the percentages
- 48:39Speaker 1: are telling you something here.
- 48:40Speaker 3: Man.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Again, you very rarely see a team it's a public
- 48:43Speaker 1: road underdog like this, and like I a public home underdog.
- 48:47Speaker 1: Excuse me, Like I said, the public they like offense, man,
- 48:51Speaker 1: so they're on Arizona. They probably see ow Nelson's era
- 48:54Speaker 1: is good. We have the better offense. Let's go with
- 48:56Speaker 1: Arizona here. Both teams have looked bad something. San Francisco
- 49:00Speaker 1: has looked really bad in the public's eye because they
- 49:02Speaker 1: can't hit. But I just don't think so. I think
- 49:05Speaker 1: it's either San Francisco or pass on this game. It's
- 49:10Speaker 1: not gonna rise the level of a play, but it
- 49:12Speaker 1: is close.
- 49:12Speaker 3: Man.
- 49:13Speaker 1: Seeing a market read like this, it's very tempting to say, yeah,
- 49:16Speaker 1: you should play San Francisco here and the pitching matchup,
- 49:19Speaker 1: They're like, the numbers are really crazy with the starting
- 49:23Speaker 1: pitching matchup.
- 49:24Speaker 3: Man, So you know what I'm thinking about it.
- 49:27Speaker 1: I'm very tempted to do it, to be honest, man.
- 49:33Speaker 3: It's tough. Should I do it?
- 49:34Speaker 1: Let me see what does Action Network have looking at
- 49:37Speaker 1: their numbers here, because they're the numbers on the totals
- 49:40Speaker 1: look pretty good. But am I really gonna give out
- 49:42Speaker 1: four baseball plays.
- 49:44Speaker 3: On a Monday? Am I really not gonna be able
- 49:45Speaker 3: to control myself?
- 49:47Speaker 1: Action Network seems to have the the money percentage coming
- 49:51Speaker 1: in on the d Backs. I mean, both teams are
- 49:54Speaker 1: definitely gonna want to bounce back here, but the d
- 49:55Speaker 1: Backs are just awful. Dude, you know what I'm gonna
- 50:00Speaker 1: do it? I can't resist. I think it's just the
- 50:02Speaker 1: starting pitching matchup. I just think is too far in
- 50:05Speaker 1: favor of San Francisco. Man, full game San Francisco minus
- 50:09Speaker 1: one thirty So four plays today, whatever that's gonna do it? Man,
- 50:14Speaker 1: it means my Instagram is gonna have more videos today.
- 50:17Speaker 1: It's a very loaded card for a Monday, man. So again,
- 50:21Speaker 1: under in the first five innings in Red's Red Sox
- 50:23Speaker 1: the Battle of the Red Teams under first five innings
- 50:27Speaker 1: as Tampa Bay under full game Royals, Mariners and San
- 50:35Speaker 1: Francisco Giants, money line crazy four place today. That's gonna
- 50:39Speaker 1: do it? Learn Toad on Twitter, Thanks guys for hanging out.
- 50:42Speaker 1: Go check out Better Off Dead on Instagram for shorter,
- 50:46Speaker 1: probably somewhat more funny videos where I give out the
- 50:50Speaker 1: same plays that I do here, but in short forms
- 50:52Speaker 1: so people maybe pay more attention to it, and maybe
- 50:55Speaker 1: people will actually start following me more. But yeah, man,
- 50:59Speaker 1: I mean some debscribe, subscribe and follow to everything Better
- 51:03Speaker 1: Off Dead man, you know, like comment et cetera. Let's go,
- 51:06Speaker 1: let's get get some more traction here, man. People are
- 51:09Speaker 1: just too autistic for these long form videos.
- 51:11Speaker 3: Man. Unfortunately, you can.
- 51:14Speaker 1: Still support Tower Gang if you want patreon dot com
- 51:16Speaker 1: slash Tower Gang.
- 51:18Speaker 3: There may be a possibility then it comes back, but
- 51:20Speaker 3: I don't really know.
- 51:21Speaker 1: But you at least you still get to hang out
- 51:23Speaker 1: with us in a telegram and you get all the
- 51:25Speaker 1: bonus contents still if you do do that, and there
- 51:28Speaker 1: probably is going to be a Toad Patreon pretty soon
- 51:30Speaker 1: where it'll cover, you'll probably get some better off dead bonuses.
- 51:35Speaker 1: Maybe you'll get in a telegram with me or something,
- 51:37Speaker 1: and there's gonna be like a ukulele feed I think
- 51:41Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna do, where you get my ukulele
- 51:43Speaker 1: stuff on Spotify, even though it'll be like as a podcast,
- 51:47Speaker 1: but you'll be able to get that that. I'm thinking
- 51:49Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna be doing, so or maybe it'll
- 51:52Speaker 1: maybe if they have private playlist, maybe I can just
- 51:54Speaker 1: do it.
- 51:54Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 51:55Speaker 1: I have to figure something out, but something like that,
- 51:58Speaker 1: so I'm thinking about it. I will be announcing something
- 52:01Speaker 1: about that probably, so stay tuned for that. Yeah, we'll
- 52:05Speaker 1: figure it out because I want to start at least
- 52:08Speaker 1: getting some income off of this man while I'm basically
- 52:11Speaker 1: destitute and might have to move out of my house here.
- 52:13Speaker 1: So thanks guys for hanging out. Let's start off the
- 52:16Speaker 1: week right. Let's have a good Monday.
