- 0:01Speaker 1: Yep. Inside, I want to kill myself. We're on OWN
- 0:06Speaker 1: seven run over the last two days after tonight it
- 0:08Speaker 1: was just complete bullshit. So that's that's what I'm gonna
- 0:12Speaker 1: start off this show. Horrible Sunday one and five. I
- 0:15Speaker 1: don't even know what to tell you about that. I
- 0:18Speaker 1: just don't want to do this anymore. I have never
- 0:20Speaker 1: seen anything like this. Man with the slump continuing. Two
- 0:25Speaker 1: straight losses, not a good day at all. Own four,
- 0:28Speaker 1: I have not had a good season. Man with wookends
- 0:34Speaker 1: the slump that I'm on, and the slump continues, I've
- 0:37Speaker 1: reached a new peak. Actually, I'm going to burn my
- 0:41Speaker 1: bruins hat man. I don't know what is going on
- 0:44Speaker 1: with the Bruins arch Hape? Is that what it is?
- 0:47Speaker 1: I don't even know it's March ninth, I think who
- 0:50Speaker 1: even knows? Man, I don't know what data is anymore.
- 0:53Speaker 1: I don't even know what datas anymore. Man, back with
- 0:56Speaker 1: you after the worst day that I could possibly have
- 1:00Speaker 1: with you, as I always am until I die at
- 1:03Speaker 1: least oh and two. Yesterday and yesterday did not go
- 1:07Speaker 1: well for me. Own five the worst month that I've
- 1:11Speaker 1: ever had in my eighteen years. Doing this. I don't
- 1:14Speaker 1: know what to even tell you about this anymore. Slump
- 1:16Speaker 1: sum discontinues, the slump continues. Somebody fucking kill me, please.
- 1:23Speaker 1: I don't even know what I should do at this
- 1:25Speaker 1: point other than potentially end it all. What's up, everybody,
- 1:34Speaker 1: It's towed back with you better off dead. Saturday, September sixth,
- 1:40Speaker 1: If you're looking for college football, I did the show
- 1:43Speaker 1: last night. I do late night football shows, man, so
- 1:47Speaker 1: thanks to everybody who joined. That show is still out there.
- 1:49Speaker 1: There's still time if you want to go watch that.
- 1:51Speaker 1: I will reiterate my college football plays, which are very ugly.
- 1:56Speaker 1: You can go see the analysis on that show. But
- 1:59Speaker 1: I do late night college football and NFL shows. But
- 2:01Speaker 1: I have Troy plus thirty one, Rutgers minus fourteen, Middle
- 2:06Speaker 1: Tennessee State MTSU Baby plus twenty eight and a half,
- 2:11Speaker 1: and LA Tech Louisiana Tech plus thirty seven and a half.
- 2:15Speaker 1: You can go see why. You can check my instagram
- 2:18Speaker 1: learn to Toe. The videos for those are up as well.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I'm gonna add four baseball plays as well with this
- 2:23Speaker 1: full baseball card. I like some of the baseball situations here.
- 2:27Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of unders, but what else
- 2:29Speaker 1: is new? Charles? What's up? Man? Thanks for hanging out
- 2:32Speaker 1: unders that I have some concerns about the way that
- 2:36Speaker 1: I'm playing some of the unders, like I would. There's
- 2:40Speaker 1: some situations where it's like, I don't know if I
- 2:41Speaker 1: want to go full game or first five. The only
- 2:44Speaker 1: one that's gonna be a first five is one that
- 2:46Speaker 1: like absolutely needs to be a first five though, and
- 2:49Speaker 1: the others I just decided, well, the full game is
- 2:52Speaker 1: on the key number, so let's just do that instead.
- 2:55Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, thanks guys for hanging out. Payt like, like,
- 3:00Speaker 1: subscribe to the show, you know, get the notifications, man,
- 3:03Speaker 1: because I go live somewhat randomly, but it's usually pretty
- 3:06Speaker 1: consistently around ten am Eastern for the regular shows, at
- 3:11Speaker 1: least for now while I'm not working. And then we
- 3:13Speaker 1: got midnight around midnight Eastern, I do the Friday Nights
- 3:18Speaker 1: is the college football show. Saturday Nights is the NFL
- 3:21Speaker 1: show for basically the Big day, the Big Board. So
- 3:26Speaker 1: tonight NFL Week one, man, I will give. I will
- 3:28Speaker 1: have my show. We're already one to oh in the
- 3:30Speaker 1: NFL with the Dallas Cowboys plus the points, so let's
- 3:34Speaker 1: keep it going. I'm gonna have at least two more
- 3:37Speaker 1: NFL plays. I don't hate the card this week for
- 3:40Speaker 1: the NFL the board, so we'll see. I do hate
- 3:43Speaker 1: this college football board, though baseball, I don't really hate it.
- 3:46Speaker 1: But let's get into this, man, let's do today's breakdown.
- 3:50Speaker 1: I don't want this video to go that long, although
- 3:51Speaker 1: I always say that, and it does. Let's try to
- 3:53Speaker 1: keep it from doing that. We do have WNBA today.
- 3:57Speaker 1: I mean, you have two games where one team has
- 4:00Speaker 1: something to play for and the other dozen't. But I'm
- 4:02Speaker 1: not gonna recommend to play on either Phoenix at Connecticut.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Phoenix is laying ten and a half on the road,
- 4:07Speaker 1: and it looks like the money's actually coming back on
- 4:09Speaker 1: Connecticut sixty seven percent of tickets on Phoenix, fifty four
- 4:13Speaker 1: percent of the cash on Connecticut. I don't get it
- 4:16Speaker 1: because Phoenix is the only team that has anything to
- 4:18Speaker 1: play for here. I mean, yeah, I guess Connecticut if
- 4:21Speaker 1: you want to argue, they might want to spoil Phoenix
- 4:24Speaker 1: their season in some way, but it's not like they
- 4:26Speaker 1: can really do that either. Phoenix. They're gonna be in
- 4:28Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's just they're jocking for positioning right now,
- 4:31Speaker 1: Phoenix has won six games in a row. I don't
- 4:35Speaker 1: really want to jump in front of that man. And
- 4:38Speaker 1: the last game that they played was the first game
- 4:39Speaker 1: of the road trip and it was a close game
- 4:41Speaker 1: against Washington. So again, Phoenix, it seems like they might
- 4:45Speaker 1: actually focus a little bit more committed to this game.
- 4:48Speaker 1: To me, Connecticut again, nothing to play for here other
- 4:52Speaker 1: than avoiding being the last place team and in the
- 4:54Speaker 1: Eastern godfreitz, I guess that's something. They've lost three games
- 4:57Speaker 1: in a row. They did get blown out by Chica
- 5:00Speaker 1: last time I was is pretty embarrassing, I guess, so
- 5:02Speaker 1: maybe they'll have some focus for that reason. Minnesota at
- 5:06Speaker 1: Golden State. Minnesota has already wrapped up the one seed
- 5:09Speaker 1: in the playoffs, so they're kind of on cruise control
- 5:12Speaker 1: until they get to the playoffs. So though if I
- 5:14Speaker 1: were them, I would still be playing my starters enough
- 5:17Speaker 1: to keep them used to playing, you know what I mean,
- 5:20Speaker 1: although you don't want to get them injured either, so
- 5:22Speaker 1: it's kind of if you're the coach, you have to
- 5:24Speaker 1: kind of do this like player management type of thing.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Minnesota did lose their last game at Vegas. Vegas is
- 5:30Speaker 1: really hot right now. Vegas cannot catch Minnesota, but Vegas
- 5:34Speaker 1: is gonna be They're gonna be a tough out in
- 5:37Speaker 1: the playoffs. Man Minnesota and Vegas are probably indeed the
- 5:40Speaker 1: top two teams in the West. I would say I
- 5:43Speaker 1: thought Vegas might eventually, it might come to this, that
- 5:47Speaker 1: Vegas would end up coming back and proving that they're
- 5:50Speaker 1: the better team over Phoenix. But in this game Minnesota, again,
- 5:53Speaker 1: they don't really have anything to play for Golden State.
- 5:55Speaker 1: They're trying to play for playoff position and trying to
- 5:58Speaker 1: make sure they make the playoffs, which I think it's
- 6:01Speaker 1: still maybe in question. I don't think they've clinched a
- 6:03Speaker 1: playoff spot yet. They've been playing well. They've won five
- 6:05Speaker 1: games in a row. They just barely beat Dallas last
- 6:08Speaker 1: time out, and that was a sandwich spot. I think
- 6:10Speaker 1: I pointed that out on my show. They had beaten
- 6:12Speaker 1: the Liberty the game before that huge game, and then
- 6:16Speaker 1: they had Minnesota. Maybe I should have given that out
- 6:18Speaker 1: as a play. I mean, I haven't given out any
- 6:19Speaker 1: WNBA plays for a while. I know our fan, our
- 6:23Speaker 1: friend Alex out there wants more WNBA. I will give
- 6:27Speaker 1: up more in the playoffs. For sure, but I probably
- 6:30Speaker 1: should have given out Dallas in that game, So I
- 6:32Speaker 1: apologize for that because that was a sandwich spot between
- 6:35Speaker 1: the two teams that were in the finals last year
- 6:38Speaker 1: and maybe again be New York and Minnesota. So yeah,
- 6:42Speaker 1: I mean that's why Golden State didn't do that well
- 6:44Speaker 1: against Dallas, and I think they step it up in
- 6:46Speaker 1: this game, man, and they're getting points at home. The
- 6:49Speaker 1: only way that I would look at this game is
- 6:51Speaker 1: Golden State. Minnesota's already down for seven a half to
- 6:54Speaker 1: six and a half though, so I would prefer to
- 6:56Speaker 1: take the seven if you want Golden State here. Seven
- 6:59Speaker 1: is a key number, man. It looks like the line
- 7:01Speaker 1: is moving in this direction. Sixty percent of tickets only
- 7:04Speaker 1: fifty six percent of the cash on Golden State. That
- 7:07Speaker 1: makes no sense to me. I don't think the public
- 7:09Speaker 1: is gonna be gonna look at this game and take
- 7:11Speaker 1: Golden State because they don't know what the fuck is
- 7:14Speaker 1: going on. But yeah, I would. I would take the
- 7:15Speaker 1: points of Golden State. That's probably the better look out
- 7:18Speaker 1: of the two games. The WNBA or what time of
- 7:24Speaker 1: year WNBA is a summer sport and it's not that
- 7:27Speaker 1: long of a season. They play from like mid May
- 7:30Speaker 1: into September. The playoffs are in September. I'm pretty sure
- 7:35Speaker 1: the playoffs are coming up soon. I think the it
- 7:38Speaker 1: finishes I think before October if I'm not mistaken. I
- 7:41Speaker 1: don't remember, though, but it's a pretty short season. Let's
- 7:45Speaker 1: go to Major League Baseball here, man. We got a
- 7:46Speaker 1: bunch going on. We have a couple of afternoon games,
- 7:49Speaker 1: so I gotta get this video out, And as you
- 7:51Speaker 1: can see in my in the title here, one of
- 7:55Speaker 1: my plays is gonna be on one of the big
- 7:57Speaker 1: games of the day, Blue Jay's Yankees. So I'm gonna
- 7:59Speaker 1: hold on on that for now. Washington at the Cubs.
- 8:02Speaker 1: The Cubs won eleven to five yesterday, and if you
- 8:05Speaker 1: watch my show, I told you I thought the best
- 8:07Speaker 1: way to play that was Cubs over their team total,
- 8:09Speaker 1: and that was certainly correct, as they scored eleven runs
- 8:14Speaker 1: in the game against Washington. And I think that's actually
- 8:17Speaker 1: probably the way to look in this game, too, man,
- 8:19Speaker 1: because you know, the Cubs are gonna be a huge
- 8:20Speaker 1: favorite again here. The Cubs obviously have something to play for.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Washington at least had stopped their losing ways and we're
- 8:27Speaker 1: on a win streak before yesterday, you think Washington will
- 8:31Speaker 1: probably try to show up for a game against the Cubs.
- 8:33Speaker 1: With the Cubs again, they do have something to play for,
- 8:36Speaker 1: trying to make the playoffs. Make sure that they make
- 8:38Speaker 1: the playoffs. They're battling for their division. The Cubs have
- 8:41Speaker 1: the better offense and the better bullpen out of these
- 8:43Speaker 1: two teams. Cubs did use four relief pitchers yesterday, but
- 8:47Speaker 1: so did Washington. Washington's bullpen is way worse, like I said,
- 8:51Speaker 1: And Washington has Brad Lord on the mound who caught
- 8:54Speaker 1: me a couple of times because I tried to fade
- 8:56Speaker 1: him and he beat me. He'd beat he beat me man.
- 9:01Speaker 1: He's an abuser. He's just not that good man. So
- 9:05Speaker 1: I knew the time would come that he would stop
- 9:07Speaker 1: pitching that well. He wasn't even pitching that well necessarily.
- 9:10Speaker 1: He just wasn't aligning that many runs somehow. But he's
- 9:13Speaker 1: got a four point three four ERA one point three
- 9:16Speaker 1: to two whip on the season, very mediocre. He's actually
- 9:19Speaker 1: been better on the road though, three point four r
- 9:21Speaker 1: on the road. He's been awful in his last few starts,
- 9:24Speaker 1: so he's allowed four or more and runs in all
- 9:26Speaker 1: of them six or more in the last two, familing
- 9:29Speaker 1: to go five innings in either of them seven point
- 9:31Speaker 1: oh six ERA in August twenty six to eleven strike
- 9:35Speaker 1: a walk ratio, and that was with a couple of
- 9:37Speaker 1: decent starts earlier in the month. So he's in real
- 9:40Speaker 1: bad form right now. He's in bad form. He doesn't
- 9:44Speaker 1: have a lot of history against the Cubs at all.
- 9:46Speaker 1: They have five hitters who've seen him. They're only one
- 9:49Speaker 1: for six off and with a Carlos Santana home run.
- 9:53Speaker 1: I didn't even realize Carlos Santana was on the Cubs now. Man,
- 9:56Speaker 1: he is so old now, but he's he's out there
- 9:58Speaker 1: playing that move guitar. Baby. Uh. But yeah, they only
- 10:02Speaker 1: have a one sixty seven average but a nine two
- 10:05Speaker 1: ops because they have a home run and a walk
- 10:08Speaker 1: against him in the walk as Suzuki. But whatever. I
- 10:11Speaker 1: don't think Lord is gonna do well in this game.
- 10:13Speaker 1: He's up against Matthew Boyd, who was obviously the better
- 10:16Speaker 1: of the two pitchers two point nine four ERA one
- 10:19Speaker 1: point seven. With the problem with Boyd is he might
- 10:23Speaker 1: be wearing down because if you look at his innings pitched,
- 10:26Speaker 1: he has not pitched anywhere near what he's thrown for
- 10:30Speaker 1: his amount of innings this year since twenty nineteen. That's
- 10:33Speaker 1: the last time he went above what he's at now
- 10:35Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty nine and a third innings pitched.
- 10:37Speaker 1: He only did that twice in his career with Detroit
- 10:40Speaker 1: twenty eighteen twenty nineteen. So I'm worried that Boyd, after
- 10:44Speaker 1: some shortened seasons, he might be wearing down a little bit.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Because he hasn't been good in his last three outings.
- 10:49Speaker 1: He's given up four or more and runs in all three.
- 10:52Speaker 1: You can give him a pass maybe for not pitching
- 10:54Speaker 1: that well. At course, Field did still have a five
- 10:57Speaker 1: to one strike a walk ratio. That was his most
- 10:59Speaker 1: recent outings. Man seems to be back, but he walked
- 11:02Speaker 1: three guys apiece in the other routings. One was against Milwaukee,
- 11:05Speaker 1: we know they're a good offense. One was against the Giants,
- 11:08Speaker 1: who are not a good offense. So I just I
- 11:11Speaker 1: don't know exactly what we're gonna get out of Boyd.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Here Man. His numbers are all right against Washington, they're
- 11:16Speaker 1: not great. Thirty six at bats eight five strike a
- 11:19Speaker 1: walk ratio is not that good. Two fifty batting average
- 11:22Speaker 1: and seven at fifty eight ops is a little bit high.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I mean, I prefer boyd if you're like looking at
- 11:28Speaker 1: the side in this game. But again, I think you
- 11:30Speaker 1: should just go with the Cubs to just score off
- 11:32Speaker 1: of Brad Lord, Lord and company Lord plus Washington's atrocious bullpen.
- 11:38Speaker 1: That's what I would go with. You have eighty percent.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Took his ninety seven percent of the couch on the over,
- 11:41Speaker 1: even though the total dropped a little bit from nine
- 11:44Speaker 1: and a half to nine. But I think Cubs over
- 11:46Speaker 1: the team total is the right approach. Again here, I
- 11:48Speaker 1: wouldn't touch anything with the money line or anything like
- 11:52Speaker 1: that there at minus two fifty or even a run line. Yeah,
- 11:56Speaker 1: he's the black magic, black magic batter. Carlos Santana Baby.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Next up, we do have well Philadelphia Miami, and I was,
- 12:07Speaker 1: I don't want to say this is a big game.
- 12:09Speaker 1: We have the game that made all the headlines yesterday.
- 12:11Speaker 1: If you guys didn't see it, it was it went
- 12:14Speaker 1: massively Viraul Dude. I like this phenomenon where people that
- 12:18Speaker 1: are behaving badly in public settings, they just get completely
- 12:21Speaker 1: outed because everybody's recording everything. It's all in social media,
- 12:25Speaker 1: it gets televised, you know whatever, Uh, the revolution will
- 12:29Speaker 1: be televised. I guess he had like the cold playanes
- 12:32Speaker 1: and getting that CEO and his HR woman screwed rightfully
- 12:36Speaker 1: because they both suck. Then we had if you didn't
- 12:39Speaker 1: see it. At the US Open tennis last week, I
- 12:44Speaker 1: forget who the tennis player was. I hadn't really heard
- 12:46Speaker 1: of him, but there was a tennis player who signed
- 12:48Speaker 1: a ball and he was giving it to a kid
- 12:50Speaker 1: and some rich asshole just took the ball from the
- 12:53Speaker 1: kid and the kid was there crying, and it was
- 12:56Speaker 1: caught on tape, and then people figured out who that
- 12:58Speaker 1: guy was, and that guy was some CEO as well.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I think he's like a I don't know if he's
- 13:02Speaker 1: a Czech dude, he's some European dude. So he's basically
- 13:05Speaker 1: fucked now. And people figured out who that boy was,
- 13:09Speaker 1: and the tennis player like gave him a bunch of
- 13:11Speaker 1: signs stuff. So you know, everything has it's way of
- 13:14Speaker 1: working out, man. But in the Philadelphia I don't want
- 13:16Speaker 1: this video to go too long, but in the Phillies
- 13:18Speaker 1: Miami game last night, it was a weird situation. Man,
- 13:23Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a home run ball
- 13:25Speaker 1: or foul ball. I don't know exactly what it was,
- 13:27Speaker 1: but I just saw the that sort of what happened
- 13:31Speaker 1: after the ball landed in the stands. There was kind
- 13:34Speaker 1: of a fractice for the ball, and the two people
- 13:37Speaker 1: who were closest to it were a guy who was
- 13:40Speaker 1: a father and some lesbian looking woman. This woman is
- 13:44Speaker 1: like she looks like the epitome of HR. Like she
- 13:47Speaker 1: must be either HR. I don't think people figured out
- 13:49Speaker 1: who she is but yet, but she must be either
- 13:52Speaker 1: HR or in like academics, like a teacher or something
- 13:56Speaker 1: like that. Like those are the only two possibilities really,
- 13:59Speaker 1: because this woman, yeah Karen exactly. So, Yeah, she has
- 14:03Speaker 1: this short hair that's like dyed like white on the top,
- 14:07Speaker 1: Like she looks like an old woman. And she might
- 14:09Speaker 1: actually even be younger than she looks, because she has
- 14:11Speaker 1: her hair dyed like white, but it's like darker underneath that.
- 14:15Speaker 1: She has these hideous glasses. She looks like Rosie O'Donnell.
- 14:19Speaker 1: So the dude got the ball and that was it.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I mean he got the ball first. That's it. He
- 14:24Speaker 1: got it. It's his ball, and he brought it over.
- 14:27Speaker 1: He was with his kids. He brought it over to
- 14:30Speaker 1: his son. Okay, cool, that should be the end of it.
- 14:33Speaker 1: The Karen runs over to them and starts yelling, there's
- 14:37Speaker 1: some footage that somebody took like right in the stands
- 14:40Speaker 1: next to her with their phone whatever. I think they
- 14:43Speaker 1: posted on a snapchat because I saw that video, and
- 14:45Speaker 1: she's yell, you know I had it first, like you know,
- 14:48Speaker 1: you took it from me, that's mine? Like what the fuck? Like,
- 14:51Speaker 1: what is this old lady even doing? She wants to
- 14:53Speaker 1: take this away from a child, Like, are you fucking
- 14:55Speaker 1: kidding me? And the guy the father was a complete
- 14:59Speaker 1: cuck by by the way, the father never should have
- 15:02Speaker 1: given her the ball. Why would he do that? He
- 15:03Speaker 1: looked scared she came over to him, and he looked
- 15:06Speaker 1: totally starved when he went like this like, oh my god,
- 15:08Speaker 1: no this lady, Like what is it? Dude, Be a
- 15:13Speaker 1: fucking man, be like, no, I got the ball, Farren Square,
- 15:16Speaker 1: I'm giving it to my son. Fuck off, lady. That's
- 15:19Speaker 1: exactly what he should have done. But that's not what
- 15:22Speaker 1: he did. He gave her the ball like a coward.
- 15:26Speaker 1: But then his son did wind up being rewarded because
- 15:29Speaker 1: everybody filmed it, so he doesn't deserve to be rewarded. Man,
- 15:32Speaker 1: I'm sorry the father, he was a bitch in that situation.
- 15:36Speaker 1: The woman is an evil person, the guy's a coward.
- 15:39Speaker 1: The son does deserve to get stuff out of it.
- 15:42Speaker 1: I mean, why not, Like he's a kid, make him happy.
- 15:45Speaker 1: So this was at the Marlins Stadium, and the Marlins,
- 15:48Speaker 1: like the crew at the stadium, I guess, found out
- 15:51Speaker 1: that this had happened while the game was still going on,
- 15:53Speaker 1: and they brought the kid a bunch of stuff. And
- 15:55Speaker 1: then the kid actually wanted to be able to meet
- 15:57Speaker 1: Harrison bad or the Affilies player and got pictures with them,
- 16:01Speaker 1: so that was pretty cool. She's hr FRAMISNBC. I don't know,
- 16:06Speaker 1: cause she's a Phillies fan, but she's in Miami for
- 16:09Speaker 1: this game, so I don't know. I mean, I actually
- 16:12Speaker 1: tried to figure out who she was. I did reverse
- 16:15Speaker 1: image searching, I did facial recognition on her, and it
- 16:18Speaker 1: didn't work. Like the quality just wasn't good enough to
- 16:20Speaker 1: figure out who she was. Like, like, I got a
- 16:24Speaker 1: bunch of images of women of like women that look
- 16:27Speaker 1: like lesbians giving like blow jobs and stuff, and I'm
- 16:30Speaker 1: like is that her Maybe I don't know, but she
- 16:34Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean, I guess that's just the
- 16:37Speaker 1: type that she resembles. But yeah, that was crazy. I
- 16:41Speaker 1: don't want to go too long on that, but I
- 16:43Speaker 1: mean this show, I do want to have some funny
- 16:46Speaker 1: content in this show, so I mean, I'll talk about
- 16:48Speaker 1: crazy stuff like that. Yeah, that was insane. So it
- 16:52Speaker 1: worked out for the Sun, which was good. But oh yeah,
- 16:55Speaker 1: you were looking at that too. Yeah did you get
- 16:57Speaker 1: a boner? Did you jerk off man? But oh yeah,
- 17:02Speaker 1: I have to talk about this game. Philadelphia, Miami, Philadelphia.
- 17:06Speaker 1: I mean, they have something to play for, obviously, Miami.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Really they're only Miami's only playing for you know the
- 17:12Speaker 1: fact that they're playing a divisional foe at home, So
- 17:15Speaker 1: I mean that is kind of motivation. Miami U is
- 17:17Speaker 1: a ton of their bullpen yesterday though, so that doesn't
- 17:20Speaker 1: look great. I believe I said that I liked the
- 17:23Speaker 1: under in yesterday's game, and I think it still happened.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Philly has a much more rested bullpen here, even though
- 17:28Speaker 1: their bullpen isn't that good. Miami's is actually the the
- 17:33Speaker 1: less bad of the two bullpens, but the bullpen usage
- 17:36Speaker 1: was so heavy on the Miami side. I actually think
- 17:39Speaker 1: Philadelphia may have a bullpen edge, and this one. The
- 17:43Speaker 1: starting pitching matchup, is interesting because these are two starting
- 17:46Speaker 1: pitchers that are really difficult to figure out because they've
- 17:49Speaker 1: been really good and really bad at different times this season.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Jesus Lazard I was pitching for the Phillies four point
- 17:56Speaker 1: zero five VRA one point two eight WHIP decent numbers.
- 17:59Speaker 1: He's better on the road three point five to nine
- 18:01Speaker 1: ERA good. In his last outing, he shut out Atlanta
- 18:05Speaker 1: for six to two thirds, seven strikeouts, one walk. His
- 18:08Speaker 1: strikeout numbers have gone back up. He's actually been pretty
- 18:11Speaker 1: good except for one bad outing at the Mets. He
- 18:13Speaker 1: was actually good for the entire month of August three
- 18:15Speaker 1: point one two ERA forty two to eight strike a
- 18:18Speaker 1: walk ratio. So he actually seems like he is back
- 18:21Speaker 1: in form after he had a some really bad outings
- 18:25Speaker 1: in the middle of the season where I guess he
- 18:26Speaker 1: was like tipping his pitches after he was really good
- 18:29Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, So he seems like
- 18:30Speaker 1: he is good again right now. He's actually facing his
- 18:33Speaker 1: former team, the Marlins here, which I believe this is
- 18:37Speaker 1: not the first time he's facing them, though he faced
- 18:39Speaker 1: them earlier this year, so it's a game that he
- 18:41Speaker 1: would get pumped up for if it was his first
- 18:43Speaker 1: time out, which that happened early this season in April,
- 18:46Speaker 1: and he did pitch pretty well in that game. Didn't
- 18:48Speaker 1: do well the last time out against Miami, though, so
- 18:51Speaker 1: which which, heyeseus is gonna show up to the ballpark
- 18:54Speaker 1: this time. I actually don't really know. His numbers against
- 18:57Speaker 1: Miami overall are good. Thirty one at bats it's not
- 19:00Speaker 1: a huge sample. Eight three strike a walk ratio. I
- 19:03Speaker 1: mean that's not great. One ninety four batting average, five
- 19:06Speaker 1: point fifty five. Ohps. Those are some low offensive numbers there.
- 19:09Speaker 1: So he does do well against Miami. He's going up
- 19:12Speaker 1: against Sandy Alcantra. Who are we getting the second coming
- 19:16Speaker 1: of this guy now? And I don't mean that he's
- 19:18Speaker 1: being jerked off or anything like that, or maybe he is.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Maybe that's what's improving his pitching. I don't know. He's
- 19:23Speaker 1: got a five point six six ERA and one point
- 19:26Speaker 1: three to two whip this year, but those numbers have
- 19:28Speaker 1: actually improved as of late. He's better at home four
- 19:32Speaker 1: point five eighty Ra and Holmes. If you are liking
- 19:34Speaker 1: the pitching in this game, you get the home road
- 19:37Speaker 1: splits in both pitchers favors. Here, al Contra actually has
- 19:40Speaker 1: allowed two or fewer earned runs in his last four starts.
- 19:43Speaker 1: He's gone six or more innings and all of them
- 19:45Speaker 1: seven innings in the last three, including starts against the
- 19:48Speaker 1: Red Sox and the Mets in those last four, both
- 19:51Speaker 1: on the road. So is he actually becoming his old self?
- 19:54Speaker 1: I don't know, man, because he's a guy that seemed
- 19:56Speaker 1: like his career was over after his Tommy John surgeries.
- 19:59Speaker 1: He had never turn to form. But he's definitely in
- 20:02Speaker 1: form right now. With those last few starts he had
- 20:05Speaker 1: seven or more strikeouts and three of the four as well,
- 20:07Speaker 1: six or more in all four thirty eight to ten
- 20:10Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio in August three point six nine
- 20:12Speaker 1: yard racio. He's pitching better all Contra, man, But against
- 20:17Speaker 1: Philadelphia he does not do well. They have a ton
- 20:20Speaker 1: of at bats against him two hundred and eighty six
- 20:22Speaker 1: at bats. That's gonna be one of the one of
- 20:23Speaker 1: the biggest sample sizes you'll see. Fifty seven to twenty
- 20:27Speaker 1: six strike a walk ratio is not very good. Three
- 20:30Speaker 1: h one batting average eight to twenty one. Ohps, none
- 20:32Speaker 1: of that is very good either. Every hitter that has
- 20:36Speaker 1: a home runoff of him in Philly's lineup has two
- 20:38Speaker 1: of them. Bryce Harper, Max Kepler, jt Real Muto, and
- 20:45Speaker 1: Trey Turner all have two on runs a piece off him.
- 20:48Speaker 1: So I still don't know if you could trust al
- 20:50Speaker 1: Contra man. I would lean to Philadelphia in this game,
- 20:53Speaker 1: even including the bullpens here. Philly obviously is the better
- 20:56Speaker 1: offense too, but their bullpen is in better rest shape
- 20:59Speaker 1: right now. For minus one fifty one fifty four on
- 21:02Speaker 1: the money line, though, so it's a pretty steep price
- 21:04Speaker 1: seventy four percent of the cash and then fifty six
- 21:06Speaker 1: percent tickets on Miami. I don't understand how the public
- 21:10Speaker 1: could possibly be on Miami in this game, but I
- 21:13Speaker 1: would lean to Philly. I do think they have the
- 21:15Speaker 1: advantage across the board, and this one wouldn't hate and
- 21:20Speaker 1: under at least in the first five because I still
- 21:23Speaker 1: don't love the bullpens. But if you think al Contra
- 21:25Speaker 1: will continue to pitch well because he is informed right
- 21:28Speaker 1: now and under maybe makes sense. But I do worry
- 21:31Speaker 1: about the fact that Philly just smashes him Uh, the
- 21:33Speaker 1: total did go up a little bit for me, juice
- 21:36Speaker 1: to the under to eight seventy per tickets ninety seven
- 21:38Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the over. So I worry
- 21:41Speaker 1: about the thought of an under there a little bit. Uh.
- 21:45Speaker 1: White Sox are at Detroit. This is a divisional matchup.
- 21:49Speaker 1: Detroit actually lost yesterday. They lost three of their last
- 21:52Speaker 1: four games. Now, they were coming off of a series
- 21:54Speaker 1: against the Mets that was a much bigger series. Detroit,
- 21:57Speaker 1: they might be in a little bit of cruise control
- 21:59Speaker 1: mode right now. Man, even though they still probably want
- 22:02Speaker 1: to play to get the top seed in the AL. Man,
- 22:05Speaker 1: they'd like to have home field. It matters. I mean
- 22:07Speaker 1: home field matters more this year than I can remember
- 22:11Speaker 1: it ever mattering in baseball. Detroit is one of those
- 22:13Speaker 1: teams that has a really good home record. A lot
- 22:16Speaker 1: of teams are really bad on the road this year Detroit.
- 22:20Speaker 1: But again, they do have a big lead in their
- 22:23Speaker 1: division right now at least, but still they got a
- 22:25Speaker 1: battle with like Yankees, Toronto, whatever, as far as the
- 22:28Speaker 1: best even Houston for the best record in the AL.
- 22:33Speaker 1: They'll probably be pissed because they did lose to the
- 22:35Speaker 1: White Sox yesterday. That's pretty embarrassing. Detroit has the better offense,
- 22:39Speaker 1: Detroit has the better bullpend. They use less of their
- 22:42Speaker 1: bullpend over the last couple of days, So Detroit has
- 22:45Speaker 1: a lot of advantages in this game. But the starting
- 22:48Speaker 1: pitching actually, to me, looks like this is a decent
- 22:51Speaker 1: starting pitching matchup. You've got good old Martin Perez pitching
- 22:55Speaker 1: for the White Sox, who has been good against since
- 22:59Speaker 1: coming back. Man forgotten about him again. He's a guy
- 23:01Speaker 1: that I always just considered to be kind of this
- 23:03Speaker 1: junk pitcher who's pitched like an old man even when
- 23:06Speaker 1: he wasn't that old. And I'm like, nah, this guy's
- 23:08Speaker 1: not that good. But he's not even really that old.
- 23:11Speaker 1: He had thirty four and he's still out there doing it.
- 23:13Speaker 1: And since the White Socks have had him in the rotation,
- 23:16Speaker 1: he's been good two point one sixty RA point nine
- 23:19Speaker 1: to eight whip, a little bit worse on the road though,
- 23:22Speaker 1: three point seventy R on the road. But his uh,
- 23:26Speaker 1: he came back in August after he pitched early in
- 23:28Speaker 1: the season in April, and he wasn't even really that
- 23:30Speaker 1: bad then four starts in August. He's got a twenty
- 23:34Speaker 1: one to four strike up walk ratio in one point
- 23:36Speaker 1: two five ERA, and he allowed two or fewer earned
- 23:38Speaker 1: runs in all of them, and the only game where
- 23:40Speaker 1: he allowed two was against the Yankees. So I mean
- 23:43Speaker 1: Perez is pitching pretty well right now. He did face Detroit, though,
- 23:47Speaker 1: that was his worst start since coming back, but it
- 23:49Speaker 1: was also his first. The first was the worst, so
- 23:52Speaker 1: I think they were trying to ease him back. As
- 23:53Speaker 1: you can see, his pitch count has increased with every outing.
- 23:56Speaker 1: But sure we would be worried that he threw ninety
- 23:58Speaker 1: nine pitches in his last down. He was the most
- 24:00Speaker 1: that he's thrown in quite a while, and it was
- 24:02Speaker 1: a big game against the Yankees. Maybe maybe we worry
- 24:06Speaker 1: about him a little bit. But his numbers are good
- 24:07Speaker 1: against Detroit one hundred and ten at bats, two thirty
- 24:10Speaker 1: six average, six to ninety one oh ps. He's actually
- 24:12Speaker 1: been pretty good against Detroit in his career. Twenty five
- 24:15Speaker 1: to ten strike a walk ratio is not good. I mean,
- 24:17Speaker 1: he's not a strikeout guy, really, but he does hold
- 24:21Speaker 1: Detroit's offense down. And maybe he will focus here and
- 24:24Speaker 1: be pumped up because he gets to go face Taric
- 24:28Speaker 1: schoolbo Man. He gets to face the potential cy young
- 24:30Speaker 1: winner here Schoolble. We know he's having a really good
- 24:33Speaker 1: season two point one eight ERA. Point eight to seven
- 24:37Speaker 1: whip is elite for giving how many innings pitched he
- 24:40Speaker 1: has this year. He's slightly worse at home. Two point
- 24:42Speaker 1: three four ERA is still really good. Past month doesn't
- 24:46Speaker 1: really show signs of wearing down forty five to eight
- 24:48Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio. Three times he hit double digit strikeouts,
- 24:52Speaker 1: including two of his last three outings two point five
- 24:55Speaker 1: two ERA. Over that span, his team won all but
- 24:57Speaker 1: one of those games, five of the six. The only
- 25:00Speaker 1: one they lost was a game at the A, which
- 25:03Speaker 1: is just a bizarre stadium, and Schooble's fielding like destroyed
- 25:08Speaker 1: his outing in that one. He only let one earned run,
- 25:09Speaker 1: but five unearned runs scored while he was while the
- 25:15Speaker 1: runs were being charged to him, but they were unearned,
- 25:18Speaker 1: so the fielding totally lapsed behind him. He bounced back
- 25:21Speaker 1: with a shutout for seven innings against Kansas City. But
- 25:24Speaker 1: it's Kansas City. They're not a good offense, but neither
- 25:27Speaker 1: is Chicago the White Sox. Schooble has been pretty good
- 25:30Speaker 1: against them, I mean not pretty good. Dominant in fifty
- 25:34Speaker 1: at bats, fifteen to one strike a walk ratio two
- 25:37Speaker 1: hundred average, four fifty six ops. So the way that
- 25:41Speaker 1: I'd be looking at this game is under in the
- 25:43Speaker 1: first five innings. Man, But it's a low total. It's
- 25:46Speaker 1: at seven and a half, heavily juiced to the unders,
- 25:48Speaker 1: so it's basically seven on the full game. I mean,
- 25:52Speaker 1: if you wanted to try to take the shot with
- 25:53Speaker 1: the full game, because you get you know, one of
- 25:56Speaker 1: the key numbers there, seven and you can get the
- 25:58Speaker 1: under seven, I mean, I wouldn't disagree with that. Like
- 26:03Speaker 1: I mean, I think this looks like it's gonna be
- 26:05Speaker 1: an under type of game to me. Fifty six percent
- 26:08Speaker 1: of tickets on the over seventy nine percent of the
- 26:09Speaker 1: couch on the over, though, so that worries me a
- 26:11Speaker 1: little bit. Detroit's a massive favorite up to minus three
- 26:14Speaker 1: zero five. There's no way you can play a heavy
- 26:17Speaker 1: money line favorite like that. But I would maybe limit
- 26:20Speaker 1: it to the first five innings, although you probably have
- 26:21Speaker 1: to go under three and a half to get the
- 26:23Speaker 1: first five innings under here, it looks like it's gonna
- 26:27Speaker 1: be a pitching duel to me early on in that game.
- 26:30Speaker 1: But that is not one of the plays that I
- 26:31Speaker 1: have here that that one was fairly close, though, to
- 26:33Speaker 1: be honest, I was considering under in that game. First
- 26:37Speaker 1: five innings Milwaukee at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh lost yesterday. I mean,
- 26:41Speaker 1: they were coming off a sweep of the Dodgers, but
- 26:44Speaker 1: this is a big series for really for both teams too.
- 26:46Speaker 1: I mean Pittsburgh, I know they're not going anywhere. They're
- 26:49Speaker 1: playing out the stretch, but you got one of your
- 26:51Speaker 1: divisional foes coming in and it's the top team in
- 26:53Speaker 1: your division that's gonna focus you. It's just you can
- 26:56Speaker 1: only do so much when you're the lesser team. So
- 26:59Speaker 1: Milwaukee did win yesterday. Milwaukee has the way better offense.
- 27:02Speaker 1: They have the better bullpen as well, even though the
- 27:05Speaker 1: their bullpen is a bit injured right now, but it's
- 27:07Speaker 1: decently rested after yesterday. Then it used a lot of
- 27:10Speaker 1: their bullpen. Only two guys came out of the bullpen.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Excuse Pittsburgh. Sorry, Pittsburgh only used three, But their bullpen
- 27:18Speaker 1: isn't as good a Milwaukee is. Brandon woodroof on the Mountain.
- 27:21Speaker 1: He's been a little bit more rough recently after he
- 27:26Speaker 1: was really really hot to start when he came back.
- 27:29Speaker 1: He's coming back from like Tommy John surgery and missing
- 27:32Speaker 1: an entire season. He's still pitching well, a three point
- 27:35Speaker 1: six ninety ARRA one point zero to whip. He's been
- 27:38Speaker 1: slightly worse than the road, but his home road splits
- 27:40Speaker 1: are almost even. Man now. The problem is his last
- 27:43Speaker 1: two starts were both ugly. He gave up five and
- 27:45Speaker 1: runs in both of them. Actually, his last three starts,
- 27:48Speaker 1: he failed to go five innings in two of the three.
- 27:50Speaker 1: He gave up three or more and runs in all three,
- 27:53Speaker 1: but they were against the Cubs, Arizona and Toronto, so
- 27:55Speaker 1: he was facing top, basically top several offenses and made
- 28:00Speaker 1: Julie baseball in all of those games. But he didn't
- 28:03Speaker 1: pitch well. The game before that, he had a shortened
- 28:06Speaker 1: start for some reason because he was shutting out these
- 28:09Speaker 1: very same Pittsburgh Pirates, and they took him out after
- 28:11Speaker 1: four innings. I remember I had Milwaukee on the run
- 28:14Speaker 1: line and that game, I'm pretty sure, and it got
- 28:16Speaker 1: there at won. But I don't know why they took
- 28:19Speaker 1: Woodruff out of that game when they did. I don't
- 28:21Speaker 1: get it. But he is back to pitching his normal
- 28:24Speaker 1: like throwing his normal amount of pitches, so that's fine,
- 28:26Speaker 1: I guess, and his numbers are good against Pittsburgh UH
- 28:29Speaker 1: seventy one at bats, twenty seven to eight streke a
- 28:31Speaker 1: walk ratio is alright, and one ninety seven batting average
- 28:35Speaker 1: allowed six h two o ps, so he does well
- 28:38Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh for the most part. He should have the
- 28:41Speaker 1: starting pitching edge against Mitch Keller, although Keller's not that bad.
- 28:45Speaker 1: UH four point two to one ERA, one point two
- 28:47Speaker 1: eight whip isn't that great, but he's alright. He's a
- 28:50Speaker 1: little bit worse at home four point two seven ERA.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Over the past month, he was not very good. Thirty
- 28:56Speaker 1: two to eleven strike a walk ratio strikeout rate actually
- 29:00Speaker 1: got pretty high, but he had a six point five
- 29:02Speaker 1: two ERA. That's not good. He's been better over his
- 29:05Speaker 1: last two starts, though, both on the road against Saint
- 29:08Speaker 1: Louis and Boston. He gave up three earned runs total
- 29:12Speaker 1: across that entire span. Of the four unearned runs came
- 29:14Speaker 1: home against Boston. My Red Sox sixteen strikeouts and two
- 29:18Speaker 1: walks in those two outings. So Keller, you could argue
- 29:22Speaker 1: maybe he's coming back into form. Looking at those last
- 29:24Speaker 1: two starts. But this could knock him right back out
- 29:27Speaker 1: of form because he's not good against Milwaukee. One hundred
- 29:30Speaker 1: and seventeen of bats thirty one to ten strike a
- 29:32Speaker 1: walk ratios. Alright, but he's allowed nineteen RBIs, three point
- 29:37Speaker 1: thirty three batting average, eight seventy three ops. That's no good.
- 29:40Speaker 1: So this game, I mean, it looks like to me
- 29:43Speaker 1: the only way you could really look to play this
- 29:45Speaker 1: game is Milwaukee. Uh, they're down for minus one fifty
- 29:48Speaker 1: to master one thirty six. Though it's a fairly steep
- 29:50Speaker 1: price on the road. I guess you do have to
- 29:52Speaker 1: worry about Woodruff being in the lesser really recent form
- 29:57Speaker 1: than Keller is. That seems to be the only real
- 30:00Speaker 1: Milwaukee disadvantage here. But they're public, and the line has
- 30:03Speaker 1: kind of moved against them. They got ninety four percent
- 30:05Speaker 1: of tickets, one hundred percent of the cash. I don't
- 30:07Speaker 1: buy those numbers. I don't think those numbers are fully
- 30:10Speaker 1: fleshed out yet. But we will see, Andrew, what's up man? Yeah,
- 30:14Speaker 1: the the Karen in Philly did look like pocahon as
- 30:19Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren. Dude, she looks like Rosi o'donald. All these
- 30:23Speaker 1: people look the same man, Rosie o'donald uh Mark Cuban. Yeah,
- 30:28Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren. Uh, that dad is a cock as well. Yeah,
- 30:32Speaker 1: I mean that is he should not have dude. He
- 30:36Speaker 1: he caved so fast. It's ridiculous. It's like, aren't you
- 30:38Speaker 1: supposed to be like protecting your children? Matt Cincinnati, I'm
- 30:41Speaker 1: gonna have a play on. I'm gonna have some some
- 30:43Speaker 1: plays on some of the bigger games today, man, So
- 30:46Speaker 1: I'll give that out at the end. Uh Cleveland at
- 30:48Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Uh. These teams have already played two games
- 30:52Speaker 1: in this yeraries and they split, with Tampa losing yesterday
- 30:55Speaker 1: seven to one. I still think Tampa is the better
- 30:58Speaker 1: of these two teams. I think Cleveland and not as
- 31:00Speaker 1: good as they look. Tampa is actually a bit better
- 31:02Speaker 1: than they look. Cleveland only these two relief pitchers yesterday,
- 31:05Speaker 1: Tampa used four. Cleveland does actually have the better bullpen,
- 31:09Speaker 1: believe it or not, but Tampa has the better offense.
- 31:12Speaker 1: This is a stadium that road teams don't do particularly
- 31:15Speaker 1: well in because it's Steinbrenner Field, Tampa's temporary home stadium.
- 31:19Speaker 1: It's a very hitter friendly ballpark, and that might not
- 31:22Speaker 1: be good for these pitchers, either tann or Bayby pitcher
- 31:25Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Indians. Here, he's not having a great season.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Four point seven to seven YRRA, one point three to
- 31:31Speaker 1: one WHIP. He's been pretty bad on the road five
- 31:34Speaker 1: point six four ARRA on the road this past month,
- 31:37Speaker 1: he's been awful. Twenty nine to sixteen strike a walk
- 31:40Speaker 1: ratio that's really bad. Six point one five ra also
- 31:44Speaker 1: really bad. Gave up four more and runs in all
- 31:46Speaker 1: but one of those outings across the entire month. Yeah,
- 31:50Speaker 1: he's not a good form. We know this. Maybe he's
- 31:52Speaker 1: kind of not really motivated as we know the team's
- 31:55Speaker 1: not going anywhere, although neither is Tampa. His numbers against
- 31:59Speaker 1: Tampa are okay. In forty nine at bats, thirteen to three,
- 32:02Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio is pretty solid two sixty five
- 32:05Speaker 1: average allowed, seven thirty six ops. Mediocre numbers there for
- 32:09Speaker 1: Biby against Tampa, he's going up against Shane BoSz, who
- 32:13Speaker 1: the one good thing about Boss is that he strikes
- 32:16Speaker 1: out a lot. He has good strikeout stuff, but he
- 32:19Speaker 1: just has his stuff just hasn't really come to full
- 32:22Speaker 1: fruition as the rest of his numbers just don't get
- 32:24Speaker 1: the job done. Four point nine eighty R, one point
- 32:27Speaker 1: three to four whip not great. He's really bad in
- 32:31Speaker 1: this stadium six point four to seventy R, and he's
- 32:33Speaker 1: been lit up in this stadium for eighteen of the
- 32:36Speaker 1: twenty six Hoo runs he's allowed this season in fewer
- 32:39Speaker 1: innings than he's thrown on the road, too, so that's
- 32:41Speaker 1: not a good sign. He's been good over his last
- 32:44Speaker 1: couple outings though, at Cleveland and at home against Seattle.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Gave it three on runs across those twelve innings, had
- 32:50Speaker 1: a thirteen to four strike a walk ratio, so he
- 32:53Speaker 1: did pitch a little bit better in those two outings.
- 32:55Speaker 1: He was really really awful prior to that. In August
- 32:58Speaker 1: had a seven point nine overall, although thirty four to
- 33:02Speaker 1: ten strike a walk ra issue was actually pretty good.
- 33:04Speaker 1: He is pretty good against Cleveland in twenty at bats,
- 33:07Speaker 1: seven to two strike a walk ratio, no extra base hits,
- 33:10Speaker 1: one fifty batting average in three seventy seven ops. The
- 33:13Speaker 1: other thing you have to be concerned about here is
- 33:15Speaker 1: that both of these starting pitchers just faced these lineups
- 33:19Speaker 1: not that long ago. In late August, Boz did well
- 33:22Speaker 1: against Cleveland, went six innings that was one of those
- 33:24Speaker 1: two starts that I just mentioned. He gave up three
- 33:26Speaker 1: and runs and that one had seven strikeouts two walks
- 33:29Speaker 1: at Cleveland. But when an offense has just seen that
- 33:32Speaker 1: starting pitcher, sometimes they do better the next time out
- 33:35Speaker 1: against that pitcher. And Baby just pitched against Tampa the
- 33:38Speaker 1: day before then he didn't do that well. He gave
- 33:40Speaker 1: it five and runs and six innings, eight hits, three walks,
- 33:45Speaker 1: three strikeouts. He did not do well in that game.
- 33:47Speaker 1: So to me, it looks like the offenses might actually
- 33:50Speaker 1: have the upper hand in this game, even though bos
- 33:53Speaker 1: does match up pretty well. So my leans are both
- 33:56Speaker 1: against the market in this one. Man, I would lean
- 33:58Speaker 1: to Tampa here, but maybe only first five because they're bullpen.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Looks like it's a little bit of a concern right now.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Tampa's up for minus one thirty to minus one thirty two,
- 34:06Speaker 1: but fifty eight percent of tickets on them seventy five
- 34:09Speaker 1: percent of the cash on Cleveland, so I do worry
- 34:11Speaker 1: about that. A bit total drop for mat and half
- 34:15Speaker 1: to eight, which is also weird. Fifty eight percent of
- 34:18Speaker 1: tickets on the over eighty three percent of the cash
- 34:20Speaker 1: on the under. Don't really agree with it though. I
- 34:23Speaker 1: mean I would lean towards the over in this one.
- 34:25Speaker 1: I mean I could see both starting pitchers potentially struggling here.
- 34:28Speaker 1: I think Boz because he does have the better matchup numbers.
- 34:31Speaker 1: I think he has the better strikeout stuff at this
- 34:33Speaker 1: point too. I would have a slight lean to Tampa
- 34:35Speaker 1: Bay in the first five to bounce back here and
- 34:39Speaker 1: just avoid their bullpen Dodgers and Orioles. I'm gonna have
- 34:41Speaker 1: a play on that game too. You probably know what
- 34:43Speaker 1: these players are gonna be. Seattle, let Atlanta. This game
- 34:47Speaker 1: is a little bit difficult to figure out. Man. Yeah,
- 34:49Speaker 1: the libtard face was the Karen at Philadelphia. Yeah, Atlanta. Uh,
- 34:55Speaker 1: they won the first game of this Syeeraries won two
- 34:57Speaker 1: games in a row. They won yesterday four to one.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Both bullpens are fairly well rested here. Actually there's some
- 35:04Speaker 1: of them were rested in all of baseball really. I
- 35:06Speaker 1: think Seattle does have the better of the bullpens though,
- 35:08Speaker 1: and the better offense, although it's not that significant, and
- 35:11Speaker 1: they are on the road here, and we know Seattle
- 35:13Speaker 1: doesn't really do as well on the road, especially they're
- 35:15Speaker 1: starting pitching and Bryce Miller is pitching for the Mariners,
- 35:19Speaker 1: and he's had a very injury plague season throughout his
- 35:23Speaker 1: career prior to this, he's been a lot better than
- 35:25Speaker 1: his numbers are this year. He just hasn't come back
- 35:27Speaker 1: into four him this year kind of sad, just like
- 35:31Speaker 1: all the Seattle's pitchers. He is worse on the road too,
- 35:33Speaker 1: but he's been bad overall this season. Five point seven
- 35:36Speaker 1: to one ERA, one point four to one WHIP. Again,
- 35:39Speaker 1: he hasn't pitched that much this season due to all
- 35:41Speaker 1: these injuries. He's been worse on the road yet again,
- 35:44Speaker 1: five point nine to one ERA. His last outing wasn't
- 35:49Speaker 1: too bad against Cleveland. He gave up two earn runs
- 35:51Speaker 1: only three strikeouts though to one walk. He still has
- 35:54Speaker 1: a five point six to three ERA since coming back
- 35:56Speaker 1: from injury in late August. He gave up four and
- 35:59Speaker 1: runs in five innings in the other two outings against
- 36:02Speaker 1: Philly and San Diego. Philly's a good offense, San Diego
- 36:06Speaker 1: hasn't been that great. Miller has really good numbers against
- 36:09Speaker 1: the Braves though, in forty two at bats thirteen to
- 36:12Speaker 1: two strike a walk ratio one ninety batting average of
- 36:14Speaker 1: five thirteen ops. Just like I said, though, with Logan
- 36:18Speaker 1: Gilbert yesterday. My guess is that these Seattle pitchers, I'm
- 36:22Speaker 1: pretty sure that those numbers have to be when they
- 36:25Speaker 1: pitched at home, because these Seattle pitchers are way more
- 36:28Speaker 1: dominant at home. So and the under did still happen yesterday.
- 36:32Speaker 1: It was a good pitching matchup yesterday between Gilbert and Sale.
- 36:36Speaker 1: This looks like it could be a good pitching matchup
- 36:38Speaker 1: if you get the best out of both these pitchers. Miller, yes,
- 36:41Speaker 1: he did pitch well against Atlanta in the past, but
- 36:44Speaker 1: I'm not ready to trust Miller here man just because
- 36:46Speaker 1: the forum that he's been in is so bad. Hurston
- 36:49Speaker 1: waldropped this pitching for the Braves. He's a twenty three
- 36:52Speaker 1: year old rookie and he's off to a good start
- 36:56Speaker 1: to his career. Man. He's got a one point one
- 36:58Speaker 1: ERA and one point one WHIP. He's been better at
- 37:01Speaker 1: home too, points six to ninety RA. He's got four wins.
- 37:06Speaker 1: The Braves have won every one of his six starts.
- 37:09Speaker 1: He's pitching well, thirty three to eleven strikeout walker race year.
- 37:12Speaker 1: It's a few too many walks, mostly because the last
- 37:14Speaker 1: outing he walked four guys and five to two thirds
- 37:17Speaker 1: in he's against Philly still held them in one run, though,
- 37:19Speaker 1: and they wound up winning that game late in the
- 37:22Speaker 1: game too. Waldrop is definitely pitching well man, and now
- 37:26Speaker 1: he gets to go up against the Seattle team where
- 37:29Speaker 1: they haven't seen him except for a Rosa rain I
- 37:31Speaker 1: don't know when a Rosa Raina would have faced him,
- 37:33Speaker 1: but he did. He's won for one, often with a single,
- 37:36Speaker 1: but other than that, Waldrop is completely unf Oh, I
- 37:39Speaker 1: guess he pitched last year. That's why I didn't realize
- 37:41Speaker 1: Waldrop pitched last year, but he only made two starts,
- 37:44Speaker 1: so that was not a qualify. That did not qualify
- 37:47Speaker 1: as his rookie season. This season might not either, depends
- 37:50Speaker 1: how much he continues to pitch. But he's pitching well man.
- 37:52Speaker 1: He's good, and again with the unfamiliarity edge here against Seattle,
- 37:57Speaker 1: I think Atlanta does have the edge in that game.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Public is on Seattle sixty seven percent of tickets, but
- 38:03Speaker 1: a six percent of the cash coming in on Seattle.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Seattle does have more to play for as Seattle is
- 38:08Speaker 1: still trying to make the playoffs here, whereas Atlanta is
- 38:11Speaker 1: resigned to the fact that they know they're not going
- 38:13Speaker 1: to make the playoffs and Atlanta's dropped for minutus one
- 38:15Speaker 1: forty to minus one twenty one. But I don't really
- 38:18Speaker 1: agree with that. I think Atlanta they have the upper
- 38:20Speaker 1: hand here man, in this pitching matchup, and the bullpens
- 38:23Speaker 1: are kind of even, so I could see going either
- 38:26Speaker 1: first five or full game with Atlanta here. That would
- 38:28Speaker 1: be my preference in this game. The total flip from
- 38:32Speaker 1: nine juice to the under to n I juice to
- 38:33Speaker 1: the over, I don't know if I agree with that, man.
- 38:37Speaker 1: I mean, I have a slight tendency to want to
- 38:39Speaker 1: lean towards an under because the bullpens are in good
- 38:41Speaker 1: Shaye Miller has a decent matchup for himself here at least,
- 38:45Speaker 1: even though I know he's on the road so you
- 38:46Speaker 1: can't really trust him here. So again, I think Atlanta
- 38:49Speaker 1: is the way to look in that game in my opinion, Houston, Texas,
- 38:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna give out a play which is my least
- 38:56Speaker 1: That's the play that I'm least confident in though, and
- 38:59Speaker 1: you probably know what it is. You're looking at the
- 39:01Speaker 1: pitching match up there Minnesota at Kansas City. Man, Kansas
- 39:06Speaker 1: City got the win yesterday Kansas City has more to
- 39:08Speaker 1: play for the Minnesota does. Minnesota's out of it. A
- 39:11Speaker 1: wit looks like he might not play though, Bobby Witt
- 39:14Speaker 1: junior for the Royals, he's one of their better hitters.
- 39:17Speaker 1: He might be out. He has back spasms, so I
- 39:19Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with him, so be on
- 39:21Speaker 1: the lookout for that. He might be out of the lineup.
- 39:23Speaker 1: But Kansas City's offense isn't good anyway, but they did
- 39:27Speaker 1: win yesterday. They have more to play for as they're
- 39:29Speaker 1: still in the playoff Hunters Minnesota they sold off at
- 39:33Speaker 1: the trade deadline. They're out of it now. But it's
- 39:35Speaker 1: Minnesota that has the more rested bullpend here. Even though
- 39:38Speaker 1: Minnesota does not have the better bullpen, they only use
- 39:40Speaker 1: two relief pitchers yesterday, Kansas City used four five excuse him,
- 39:45Speaker 1: but they had some kind of light usage for some
- 39:47Speaker 1: of those guys, so some of those guys probably will
- 39:49Speaker 1: pitch again today. So Kansas City, I mean, they do
- 39:53Speaker 1: still have the better bullpen. Minnesota has the somewhat better
- 39:56Speaker 1: offense here. Minnesota has the better starting pitcher with Joe
- 40:00Speaker 1: Ryan on the mine, I mean, he is their ace
- 40:03Speaker 1: three point eight ra point nine to seven WHIP. Good
- 40:05Speaker 1: season for him again, a little bit better on the
- 40:08Speaker 1: road two point nine to seventy RRA on the road.
- 40:10Speaker 1: He's coming off a seven inning shutout of San Diego
- 40:13Speaker 1: eight strikeouts, one walk, five hits allowed. So he returned
- 40:16Speaker 1: to form after two pretty ugly starts against the A's
- 40:19Speaker 1: and at Toronto. Not really an easy task. Those are
- 40:22Speaker 1: two pretty good offenses too, so he came back into
- 40:25Speaker 1: forma I'm not ready to say that Ryan's out of
- 40:27Speaker 1: form or anything like that. Thirty seven to six strikeout
- 40:30Speaker 1: walk ratio in August four point oh one e RA.
- 40:33Speaker 1: That's not bad. It's not great by his standards, but
- 40:36Speaker 1: he's still pitching all right. He's good against the Royals
- 40:39Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three at bats that they're really
- 40:41Speaker 1: familiar with him, and they still haven't been able to
- 40:42Speaker 1: hit him. This includes Bobby Witt Junior in there, although
- 40:45Speaker 1: his numbers aren't that good against him. Twenty seven to
- 40:48Speaker 1: four strike out walk ratio one to eighty batting average
- 40:50Speaker 1: of five to twenty eight ops are the numbers that
- 40:53Speaker 1: Ryan has posted against Kansas City. Kansas City has Stephen
- 40:57Speaker 1: Kolek starting, so Kansas City actual he got two of
- 41:01Speaker 1: San Diego's pitchers. They got Bergere and Colic, and Cole
- 41:06Speaker 1: like I think, is the less trustworthy of the two men.
- 41:09Speaker 1: His numbers are really hard to figure out. Three point
- 41:12Speaker 1: nine ninety RA this year, one point two to six whip.
- 41:14Speaker 1: He was really bad at home seven point six two ERA,
- 41:18Speaker 1: which in San Diego's very pitcher friendly park, that makes
- 41:21Speaker 1: absolutely zero sense. I don't know how that is possibly
- 41:23Speaker 1: the case. He did have a home start here in
- 41:26Speaker 1: another pitcher friendly park with Kansas City, and he did
- 41:29Speaker 1: pitch well. So his one start with Kansas City back
- 41:32Speaker 1: on August thirtieth, he held Detroit to one on run
- 41:35Speaker 1: in six innings, no walks, four hits, three strikeouts, so
- 41:39Speaker 1: he was pretty good in that game. Not a lot
- 41:41Speaker 1: of strikeouts, but he was effective. Minnesota is a worse
- 41:44Speaker 1: offense than that than that, and only Outman has ever
- 41:47Speaker 1: seen him before the Outlander. He's over two off of him,
- 41:51Speaker 1: no strikeouts, no walks, whatever, Man Colex, So he does
- 41:56Speaker 1: have a little bit of an unfamiliarity edge here. So
- 41:59Speaker 1: I mean, and I guess this game does look like
- 42:01Speaker 1: an under type of game here man, I mean, if
- 42:04Speaker 1: you don't necessarily trust the Bullpens. Maybe a first five
- 42:07Speaker 1: under if you can find it at like under four
- 42:09Speaker 1: the total drop for me and have to eight sixty
- 42:11Speaker 1: seven percent of tickets on the over fifty five percent
- 42:14Speaker 1: of the cash on the under. I don't disagree with that.
- 42:17Speaker 1: And the money seems to be fading Minnesota. They're a
- 42:19Speaker 1: minus one twenty road favorite, eighty five percent of tickets,
- 42:22Speaker 1: only seventy eight percent of the cash, So the money
- 42:24Speaker 1: seems to be coming in against Minnesota. So the professional
- 42:28Speaker 1: money seems to prefer cole like over Ryan basically in
- 42:31Speaker 1: this game go figure, but that I think kind of
- 42:34Speaker 1: lends itself more towards looking towards the under in this
- 42:36Speaker 1: game as well, So that would be the way I
- 42:38Speaker 1: would probably lean maybe first five innings though. San Francisco
- 42:42Speaker 1: is at Saint Louis. San Francisco took the first game
- 42:44Speaker 1: here eight to two. Uh. San Francisco, they're hot right now. Man,
- 42:49Speaker 1: there's still I guess they were a team that looked
- 42:52Speaker 1: like they were out of it, and now they've won
- 42:54Speaker 1: five games in a row and they've won eleven of
- 42:56Speaker 1: the last twelve something like that. They're playing some bad
- 43:00Speaker 1: teams recently, though, Baltimore, Colorado. Saint Louis. They did beat
- 43:03Speaker 1: some good teams prior to that. They're on a roll
- 43:05Speaker 1: right now. They're playing like a team that's motivated. They
- 43:07Speaker 1: could potentially still make a playoffs, which would be ridiculous.
- 43:11Speaker 1: San Francisco's offense is still not good. Their bullpen is
- 43:14Speaker 1: really good, though, so they're a much more pitcher heavy team.
- 43:18Speaker 1: They're basically like the Texas Rangers of the National League.
- 43:21Speaker 1: Saint Louis they're they're out of it, so they don't
- 43:24Speaker 1: have a whole lot to play for here other than
- 43:26Speaker 1: bouncing back from getting embarrassed last night at home. Saint
- 43:30Speaker 1: Louis has a decent bullpen. Their offense isn't really that good.
- 43:33Speaker 1: It's been really bad since the All Star breaks. So
- 43:35Speaker 1: we're looking at two pretty weak offenses and two solid bullpends.
- 43:40Speaker 1: San Francisco has the better of the two bullpens. I
- 43:42Speaker 1: think Saint Louis does have the better offense, but not
- 43:44Speaker 1: by much. Justin Verlander is pitching for the Giants. He's
- 43:48Speaker 1: still out there doing his thing. Four point two to
- 43:51Speaker 1: nine e RA one point four to three whip is
- 43:54Speaker 1: not good. Obviously, He's not good on the road this
- 43:56Speaker 1: year five point one era Lander, I mean definitely towards
- 44:00Speaker 1: the end of his career here, although he did get
- 44:02Speaker 1: ten strikeouts last time out. He had a ridiculous stat
- 44:05Speaker 1: line last time out. He went five innings against Baltimore,
- 44:08Speaker 1: three HiT's allowed, no earn runs, ten strikeouts, four walks,
- 44:11Speaker 1: and he threw one hundred and twenty one pitches, which
- 44:14Speaker 1: I don't think is a good sign. Man. He was pitching.
- 44:17Speaker 1: He was thrown around one hundred pitches in most of
- 44:19Speaker 1: his outings, which is pretty much what you expect, even
- 44:22Speaker 1: though he is old now. But they ratcheted him up
- 44:24Speaker 1: to one hundred and twenty one. That might not be
- 44:26Speaker 1: a good sign, man, the fact that from out of
- 44:28Speaker 1: nowhere he throws that many pitches again at this old age,
- 44:31Speaker 1: I would worry about verland are coming into this one,
- 44:34Speaker 1: even though I know he gave up two or fewer
- 44:36Speaker 1: earned runs in what is this h six of his
- 44:40Speaker 1: last eight outings, So he is in somewhat good form
- 44:43Speaker 1: right now. Three point six two ERA in August thirty
- 44:46Speaker 1: seven to nine strike a walk ratio. But I worry
- 44:48Speaker 1: about that last start man, Saint Louis. They don't have
- 44:50Speaker 1: a whole lot of guys that are familiar with him,
- 44:52Speaker 1: though only three hitters have faced of before. But they're
- 44:54Speaker 1: four for six off him, with two of them runs
- 44:57Speaker 1: both from Gorman, two walks, no strike outs. Do with
- 45:01Speaker 1: that information what you will, I guess, But I mean
- 45:04Speaker 1: it's a small sample size, so maybe not a whole
- 45:06Speaker 1: lot to take away from that. But it doesn't look
- 45:07Speaker 1: like Verlander is in the greatest shape in this one.
- 45:10Speaker 1: I don't think I would trust him. I don't trust
- 45:12Speaker 1: Andre Polante for Saint Louis either five point three eighty
- 45:16Speaker 1: RA one point four to four whip. He's bad at
- 45:19Speaker 1: home five point nine one era at home wasn't good
- 45:23Speaker 1: over the past month at all, twenty five to fifteen
- 45:25Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio three or more walks in four
- 45:29Speaker 1: of the six outings eight point six seventy RA. Saint
- 45:32Speaker 1: Louis lost all six games. That's bad. His numbers are
- 45:37Speaker 1: really bad against San Francisco too, and forty at bats
- 45:39Speaker 1: seven to three, strike a walk ratio three seventy five
- 45:42Speaker 1: average one thy ninety four oh ps. So this game
- 45:47Speaker 1: I would lean over. In this game, I don't trust
- 45:50Speaker 1: either starting pitcher here. The money doesn't necessarily seem to
- 45:54Speaker 1: be agree. We're disagreeing with it. Really, the total went
- 45:56Speaker 1: down a little bit from eight and a half to
- 45:57Speaker 1: eight and a half a juice to the under, so
- 45:59Speaker 1: you can get a decent number on this if you
- 46:01Speaker 1: want to go over. Seventy five percent of tickets on
- 46:04Speaker 1: the over, nine to nine percent of the cash on
- 46:05Speaker 1: the over. Of course, the main concern here is the
- 46:09Speaker 1: hitting is not that good on either team, but the
- 46:11Speaker 1: pitching might be so bad in this game that it
- 46:14Speaker 1: might happen anyway, So that would be my preference zero,
- 46:17Speaker 1: though I would worry about the bullpens still, But if
- 46:19Speaker 1: the starters don't do well and then it kind of
- 46:21Speaker 1: cascades and then the bullpens have to use some of
- 46:23Speaker 1: their worst relievers, could be one of those types of games.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Seventy three percent of tickets, eighty two percent of the
- 46:28Speaker 1: cash coming in on San Francisco as well, up to
- 46:32Speaker 1: minus one twenty five, so the money seemingly coming in
- 46:35Speaker 1: on the Hudder team. With San Francisco. We will say
- 46:38Speaker 1: Colorado just beat San Diego yesterday, so Colorado continuing this
- 46:42Speaker 1: series at cours Field against San Diego. They shut them
- 46:45Speaker 1: out three to nothing. San Diego has lost five games
- 46:48Speaker 1: in a row, and because the Dodgers have also lost
- 46:51Speaker 1: I think five games in a row or maybe four
- 46:53Speaker 1: games in a row, san Diego has lost no ground
- 46:56Speaker 1: on them. There's still two games behind them. It's ridiculous.
- 46:59Speaker 1: Both of them are playing like I asked right now.
- 47:01Speaker 1: That does mean San Diego probably wants to try to
- 47:03Speaker 1: turn this around here. San Diego, they have the better offense,
- 47:06Speaker 1: even though their offense isn't that good. Colorado's is a
- 47:08Speaker 1: little bit better at home though. San Diego is the
- 47:11Speaker 1: way better bullpen, and they're very arrested. These two relievers
- 47:14Speaker 1: yesterday didn't play on Thursdays, so they have a rested bullpens.
- 47:18Speaker 1: So does Colorado. They didn't play on Thursday either, and
- 47:21Speaker 1: they knows one relief pitcher yesterday. But their bullpen's not good.
- 47:25Speaker 1: San Diego, though, unfortunately for them, is rolling out Randy
- 47:28Speaker 1: Vazquez to pitch in this game. He is not very good.
- 47:31Speaker 1: Three point nine to sixty rando, that's fine, but one
- 47:34Speaker 1: point three to eight whip. He puts way too many
- 47:37Speaker 1: guys on base. Dude. He's a little bit worse on
- 47:39Speaker 1: the road. Four point one to seventy RRA. But again
- 47:42Speaker 1: I don't think he can continue to get away with
- 47:43Speaker 1: the amount of walks that he gives up. It's pretty bad.
- 47:46Speaker 1: He's not bad against Colorado though, in thirty nine at bats,
- 47:49Speaker 1: seven strikeouts, two walks, one seventy nine average left four
- 47:52Speaker 1: to fifty ops, so he's done pretty well against Colorado.
- 47:56Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust him in corps field, though,
- 47:58Speaker 1: and Colorado's going with a rookie mccaid brown on the mound,
- 48:02Speaker 1: who is a looming mound presence. He must have some talent,
- 48:07Speaker 1: but he has not done well so far. He kind
- 48:10Speaker 1: of got an easy assignment the first time out against Pittsburgh,
- 48:13Speaker 1: didn't d well against them, and then he didn't do
- 48:15Speaker 1: well against the Cobs either. He hasn't been good so far.
- 48:18Speaker 1: He has five strikeout, six walks, eight point two two ERA,
- 48:22Speaker 1: two point zero nine whip. That's all really bad. Give
- 48:25Speaker 1: up seven or in runs, ten hits in seven and
- 48:27Speaker 1: two thirds innings so far, so he's not getting it
- 48:30Speaker 1: done yet. I know San Diego's never seen him before,
- 48:32Speaker 1: so there is that unfamiliarity edge there, but that hasn't
- 48:36Speaker 1: helped him in his first two games, so I would
- 48:39Speaker 1: lean over in this game. But the money seems to
- 48:42Speaker 1: be kind of disagreeing with it. It's had eleven and
- 48:44Speaker 1: a half juice to the over eighty one percent of tickets,
- 48:47Speaker 1: only fifty three percent of the cash on the over.
- 48:49Speaker 1: Definitely not going to be a play of mine. My
- 48:52Speaker 1: bust and Red Sox are at the Arizona Diamondbacks. D
- 48:55Speaker 1: Backs have won three in a row, even though the
- 48:57Speaker 1: d Backs don't really have anything left to play for
- 49:01Speaker 1: other than pride. I guess they are sitting at five
- 49:03Speaker 1: hundred though, so maybe they want to get above five hundred,
- 49:06Speaker 1: but they know they're not going anywhere. The Red Sox
- 49:08Speaker 1: is still trying to make the playoffs, even though they
- 49:10Speaker 1: have a bunch of injuries now, so they're probably fucked.
- 49:13Speaker 1: Red Sox lost yesterday. Peyton totally did not do that
- 49:16Speaker 1: well in his second outing. I am not happy about
- 49:20Speaker 1: that obviously. I thought totally would do better. I thought
- 49:22Speaker 1: it would be a lower scoring game potentially, wasn't sure
- 49:26Speaker 1: which team is gonna win the game, but the Red
- 49:28Speaker 1: Sox lost ten to five. Red Sox also did not
- 49:31Speaker 1: have a good bullpen game last Their bullpen did not
- 49:34Speaker 1: do well last night. Red Sox have the better bullpen,
- 49:37Speaker 1: though gotta worry about maybe some injuries there. But Chris Murphy,
- 49:41Speaker 1: they brought him back into replace Hicks, who is on
- 49:44Speaker 1: the injury list. No On Hicks has not been living
- 49:46Speaker 1: up to his potential at all. Everybody's shitting on Hicks, Sothough.
- 49:49Speaker 1: Hicks is a really good ground ball pitcher with a
- 49:52Speaker 1: really good barrel percentage if you look at his advanced analytics,
- 49:55Speaker 1: He's not as bad as he's been pitching. But I
- 49:57Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with him. But Murphy gonna
- 50:00Speaker 1: get the job done either, man. I don't know Murphy.
- 50:02Speaker 1: He's probably just there because it's an Irish town that
- 50:05Speaker 1: brought him back. I don't know. But the Red Sox
- 50:08Speaker 1: bullpen is still better than Arizona's though both teams used.
- 50:12Speaker 1: Red Sox used three relievers yesterday, four from Arizona, but
- 50:16Speaker 1: Arizona's bullpen is trash. Red Sox bullpen is still better.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Arizona is the better offense, especially with especially with the
- 50:23Speaker 1: Red Sox not having their full complement of batters here
- 50:27Speaker 1: starting pitching. Lucas Gilito is pitching for the Red Sox.
- 50:30Speaker 1: He's got alright numbers this year three point three eighty
- 50:33Speaker 1: ra one point two to three whip as they seem
- 50:36Speaker 1: to kind of fix what was wrong with them. He's
- 50:38Speaker 1: got a three point two three road ERA, which is good.
- 50:41Speaker 1: He's giving up one or fewer earned runs and three
- 50:43Speaker 1: of his last four outings in five of the last seven,
- 50:47Speaker 1: So some good things from him. I mean, the Red
- 50:50Speaker 1: Sox have won. What is this ten? Let me see
- 50:55Speaker 1: the one fourteen I'm going all the way back to.
- 50:57Speaker 1: Is the one sixteen of his last What do we got?
- 51:01Speaker 1: I'm trying to do to count this real quick. Sixteen
- 51:04Speaker 1: of his last twenty outings have been wins for the
- 51:06Speaker 1: Red Sox. But I still don't think he's as good
- 51:09Speaker 1: as he looks. He had a two point three to
- 51:10Speaker 1: nine ERA in August, but a twenty eight to seventeen
- 51:13Speaker 1: strike out walk ratio that's not gonna cut it. That
- 51:15Speaker 1: is way too many walks. That is a terrible ratio.
- 51:18Speaker 1: So it's not all good for him. He's putting too
- 51:20Speaker 1: many guys on base. I do worry about him on
- 51:23Speaker 1: the road against a good lineup of this. Arizona hasn't
- 51:26Speaker 1: really seen him. The only two of their hitters have
- 51:28Speaker 1: ever faced him, and only Moreno has ever had a
- 51:31Speaker 1: hit off him two for two with a double, So
- 51:33Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot that we can really figure
- 51:35Speaker 1: out there. Gillledo does have kind of an unfamiliarity edge
- 51:38Speaker 1: here against Arizona, but they're a good hitting lineup man
- 51:42Speaker 1: and Giledo is not as good as he looks. Arizona
- 51:45Speaker 1: has Brandon Fott pitching. He hasn't had a good season.
- 51:48Speaker 1: He's better than his numbers are this season, but he
- 51:51Speaker 1: hasn't been that good five point three to three ERA,
- 51:53Speaker 1: one point three to nine WHIP. He's been way better
- 51:56Speaker 1: at home though, three point six six ERA, and he
- 51:59Speaker 1: gives up way few home runs at home for whatever reason,
- 52:02Speaker 1: I don't understand it. But he also hasn't been good recently.
- 52:05Speaker 1: A six point one sixty RA in August twenty four
- 52:08Speaker 1: to eight strike a walk ratio is alright, but he's
- 52:11Speaker 1: failed to go five innings in each of his last
- 52:13Speaker 1: two starts. He allowed ten or on runs across whatever
- 52:16Speaker 1: that is seven innings combined across those two against Milwaukee
- 52:19Speaker 1: and the Dodgers. Those are both on the road, though,
- 52:21Speaker 1: but he's not exactly in good form right now. Against
- 52:24Speaker 1: the Red Sox, they have sixteen at bats against him
- 52:27Speaker 1: four of their hitters of face and before they have
- 52:29Speaker 1: a five hundred average one thousand and four to thirty
- 52:32Speaker 1: one ohps with a Nathaniel Low home run off and
- 52:35Speaker 1: Low has the most experience off him and has done
- 52:38Speaker 1: damage off and from his Washington Nationals days. I assume
- 52:42Speaker 1: this game. I'm probably leaning over in this game too. Man. Yeah,
- 52:48Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's probably my preferred approach. But
- 52:50Speaker 1: sixty and nulf percent of tickets on the over sixty
- 52:52Speaker 1: six percent of the cash in the unders, the money's
- 52:54Speaker 1: disagreeing with me. Total's kind of just sitting at nine here.
- 52:58Speaker 1: Red Sox are road favor rent for some reason dropped
- 53:01Speaker 1: from minus one thirty to minus one thirteen. Eighty five
- 53:03Speaker 1: percent is ninety four percent of the cash on them.
- 53:06Speaker 1: But you know, the Red Sox will still be public
- 53:08Speaker 1: because they have the better record here. I don't love it.
- 53:11Speaker 1: I don't love that they're public, that the money line
- 53:15Speaker 1: has dropped on them. I worry that the Red Sox
- 53:17Speaker 1: are completely fucked here. So that's my those are my thoughts.
- 53:21Speaker 1: And then Anaheim hosting the Athletics. Anaheim, I told you
- 53:26Speaker 1: it was a bad spot for them, returning home from
- 53:27Speaker 1: a long road trip. I should have gone with that.
- 53:29Speaker 1: I should have given that out as a play. The
- 53:30Speaker 1: A's did get the win yesterday, ten to four. The
- 53:34Speaker 1: A's have a really potent lineup. They have the better
- 53:36Speaker 1: line up here, better offense of the two. Their bullpen
- 53:40Speaker 1: is more rested too. Anaheim's bullpen is seen more usage recently.
- 53:43Speaker 1: These are both bad bullpens, but you could argue the
- 53:46Speaker 1: A's have a slight bullpen edge right now with the
- 53:49Speaker 1: recent form, with the recent usage, I should say, but
- 53:52Speaker 1: the A's do have j T Gin pitching, and he's
- 53:54Speaker 1: not that good five point one seven, one point three
- 53:58Speaker 1: six whip. He's better on the road though, three point
- 54:00Speaker 1: three eighty R. So a lot of his bad numbers
- 54:02Speaker 1: have come in that bad home stadium. They have the
- 54:06Speaker 1: Sacramento Triple A Stadium there. He's in bad over the
- 54:09Speaker 1: past month though, seven point two four ERA, thirty four
- 54:12Speaker 1: to thirteen strike a walk ratio, although four of those
- 54:15Speaker 1: six outings were at home. But his road starts weren't
- 54:18Speaker 1: really that good either. Against Anaheim, his numbers aren't good,
- 54:22Speaker 1: but it's a small sample. Thirteen at bats five zero
- 54:25Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio is good, but three zero way
- 54:27Speaker 1: to average eight forty six oh ps. That's not good,
- 54:30Speaker 1: So I don't know if Gin's really gonna do that well.
- 54:32Speaker 1: Here he's going up against yuse Kikuchi for Anaheim, who's
- 54:37Speaker 1: He's having a real mixed bag of a season. Three
- 54:40Speaker 1: point eight three era, that's good. His whip is way
- 54:43Speaker 1: too high, one point four to four whip. He reminds
- 54:45Speaker 1: you of Coodeai Senga because they're both Japanese and they
- 54:48Speaker 1: both walk too many guys but somehow keep their era low. Senga,
- 54:52Speaker 1: by the way, just got sent down to the miners
- 54:55Speaker 1: to try to work on his shit from the Mets,
- 54:58Speaker 1: which is crazy because he was basically unhittable early in
- 55:01Speaker 1: the season. But I was telling you he was walking
- 55:03Speaker 1: too many guys. But Kakuchi also walks too many guys.
- 55:06Speaker 1: Kakuchi is way better at home, though. The Kuchi two
- 55:10Speaker 1: point three r ra at home, so he does pitch
- 55:12Speaker 1: way better at home. His last couple outings have been awful,
- 55:17Speaker 1: but all of his recent bad outings have all been
- 55:19Speaker 1: on the road. Four of his last five outdis have
- 55:21Speaker 1: been on the road, and those are all bad. He
- 55:23Speaker 1: give it four more and runs in all of them.
- 55:25Speaker 1: But they're all road games. His last home game he
- 55:27Speaker 1: held Cincinnati to one ear and run in seven innings,
- 55:30Speaker 1: so he is pitching better at home. I worry about
- 55:33Speaker 1: his walks overall, though. He had a twenty four to
- 55:35Speaker 1: ten strike a walk ratio in August. Five point five
- 55:37Speaker 1: to four yard ray in August not good, although again
- 55:40Speaker 1: a lot of road games there against Houston last time out,
- 55:43Speaker 1: also on the road. His one start this month, he
- 55:46Speaker 1: give up five and runs at five and two thirds
- 55:48Speaker 1: six to two strike aut walk ratio is alright? Do
- 55:50Speaker 1: we trust him here? Maybe we do at home because
- 55:53Speaker 1: he has really good numbers against the A's and forty
- 55:55Speaker 1: at bats ten to four strike a walk ratio. Those
- 55:58Speaker 1: again not good. He walks again, but the rest of
- 56:02Speaker 1: the numbers are good. One twenty five average, five five
- 56:04Speaker 1: ops allowed. I do think he's the better of the
- 56:08Speaker 1: two pitchers here, especially him pitching at home. But the
- 56:10Speaker 1: money is coming in heavily against Anaheim. They're down for
- 56:13Speaker 1: minus one forty five to minus one eleven eighty percent
- 56:15Speaker 1: of tickets, only fifty six percent of the cash. The
- 56:17Speaker 1: money is fading Anaheim. I'm not really sure I agree, though,
- 56:22Speaker 1: especially in the first five innings. I might have a
- 56:24Speaker 1: slight lean to Anaheim here with the matchup edge with
- 56:29Speaker 1: the starting pitching. Anaheim is also in a spot where
- 56:31Speaker 1: when a team returns home from a road trip and
- 56:33Speaker 1: they get embarrassed, that tends to refocus them and they
- 56:36Speaker 1: tend to bounce back and do better in the next game.
- 56:38Speaker 1: So you might get that out of Anaheim here. I
- 56:40Speaker 1: know the professional money fades Anaheim a lot, because we
- 56:43Speaker 1: know Anaheim they're bad. They have the worst run differential
- 56:46Speaker 1: in the entire American League, so they're not even as
- 56:49Speaker 1: good as their record would indicate, and the record's not
- 56:52Speaker 1: even that good. So there is all that the A's
- 56:55Speaker 1: have been playing better actually as of late and have
- 56:58Speaker 1: a really potent off so the A's aren't really as
- 57:01Speaker 1: bad as they look. So I think that's part of
- 57:02Speaker 1: the reason why the money seems to be fading Anaheim.
- 57:05Speaker 1: But in this particular spot, I'm not really in agreement
- 57:07Speaker 1: with that. But it's not a play. But let's get
- 57:10Speaker 1: to the best bets, man, and then I will let
- 57:12Speaker 1: you go. Hopefully these bets are good, Hopefully you like
- 57:15Speaker 1: the bets, and hopefully I'm making the right decision, because
- 57:18Speaker 1: deciding between first five and full game. Very very difficult decision, man.
- 57:23Speaker 1: First up is Yankees money line first five. I know
- 57:27Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to go with
- 57:29Speaker 1: the Yankees, but I think you gotta do it here.
- 57:31Speaker 1: They're down for minus one thirty five to one twenty
- 57:33Speaker 1: eight on the full game money line. So maybe you
- 57:35Speaker 1: could look at the Yankees getting a Maybe they're getting
- 57:39Speaker 1: a cheaper price now. They have sixty three percent of
- 57:41Speaker 1: ticket seventy seven percent of the cash coming in on them.
- 57:43Speaker 1: I would probably agree with them full game as well.
- 57:46Speaker 1: The money seems to be coming in on them. This
- 57:48Speaker 1: is a big series and the Yankees just fell to
- 57:50Speaker 1: four back of Toronto again. Somebody's knocking on my door?
- 57:54Speaker 1: What is happening? Hold on, let me see what's happening here, guys.
- 58:00Speaker 1: I apologize. Somebody's ringing my doorbell. Why is somebody ringing
- 58:05Speaker 1: my doorbell like this? Hang on, I'm in the middle
- 58:08Speaker 1: of a show, guys. I'm looking at my camera here.
- 58:12Speaker 1: Hold on a second, guys, I'm gonna look and see
- 58:16Speaker 1: who it is. But I might have to give you.
- 58:17Speaker 1: I might have to give you, guys. A I apologize
- 58:21Speaker 1: for this. I'm sorry. Hold on, I'm gonna it's somebody
- 58:32Speaker 1: with like a I don't know he's. This guy is
- 58:36Speaker 1: knocking on my door, real real strong. He's got muscles, tattoos,
- 58:40Speaker 1: tattoo muscles. I don't know what this guy's doing. Should
- 58:44Speaker 1: I talk to him? I could talk to him through
- 58:46Speaker 1: my thing. I don't know. I just want this guy
- 58:50Speaker 1: to go away, man, Like, go the fuck away. Anyway.
- 58:54Speaker 1: Yankees lost yesterday seven to one. I think they have
- 58:57Speaker 1: the upper hand in the pitching match up here Toronto.
- 58:59Speaker 1: They're bullpen and I know their bullpen has been bad.
- 59:02Speaker 1: Neither bullpen is that good. Actually, I think this guy
- 59:07Speaker 1: is one of my neighbors, actually, but I don't know.
- 59:09Speaker 1: He's got something in his hand. I don't know what
- 59:11Speaker 1: the hell he's doing. Anyway, Blue Jay's really low bullpen usage,
- 59:16Speaker 1: which is why I don't really want to factor in
- 59:18Speaker 1: the Yankees bullpen here. Toronto's bullpen's been a mess recently,
- 59:22Speaker 1: but the Yankees bullpen is more used up right now.
- 59:28Speaker 1: They're not really a good bullpen either. So sorry, I'm
- 59:31Speaker 1: talking about this in a distracted way here, but that's
- 59:33Speaker 1: why I'm gonna exclude the Yankees bullpen here. So we're
- 59:36Speaker 1: going first five inning only here, and this is based
- 59:39Speaker 1: on the starting pitching matchup. Man, I think we're getting
- 59:41Speaker 1: a starting pitching edge of the Yankees here with Chris
- 59:43Speaker 1: Bassett is pitching for Toronto. He's kind of fading towards
- 59:48Speaker 1: the end of the season here, Man, he's not really
- 59:50Speaker 1: as good as he looked earlier in the season. Four
- 59:53Speaker 1: point one ERA, one point three to three whip. He's
- 59:55Speaker 1: really bad on the road five point eight two ERA
- 59:57Speaker 1: in the road, So that's not good. He's been alright,
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: I guess throughout his last several starts and that he
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: hasn't allowed that many runs. But he's been mediocre at best.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: And he is not good against the Yankees. One hundred
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: and fifty one at bats, forty four to sixteen strike
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: a walk ratio and mediocre. But two eighty five batting
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: average and eight seventy ops. I mean that is not
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: good obviously. So he gets pretty much wrecked by the Yankees.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: And he's really bad on the road, so he has
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: the worst of his home road splits here. He's going
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: up against Luis Heel, who I'm not a fan of
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: the fact that heals wild Man. He walks way too
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: many guys, but he's got a three point six to
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: eighty ray one point six whip on the season. Is
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: Heray is good. His whip is not good. He hasn't
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: made too many starts yet, but he's you know what
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: you're gonna get out of heel Man. He's very hard
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: to hit. He walks too many guys. That's basically his deal.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: He's better at home two point three to five yrra,
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: so he gets some pretty extreme home road splits in
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: our favor here. Heel Aside from his first out, which
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: he started pitching this season in August, he hadn't pitched
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: because he was coming back from injury, and after that
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: first outing, he's got at least five innings and all
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: the rest of his outings and allowed two or fewer
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: earned runs in all of them. Steven, though I know
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: his strikeout walk ratio is ugly twenty nine to nineteen.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: It's really bad and not really the type of thing
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: I would normally want to do. I think that going
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: with him in the first five innings makes sense here
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: because I'm gonna show you he has good matchup numbers
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: against Toronto, but you'll probably get him for at least
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: five innings in this game, man, I would hope. So
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: he'll get you through at least most of the way
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: through the first five. And that's another reason to only
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: go first five here is you're gonna deal with the
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: Yankees bullpend pretty shortly after the fifth innings, so we'll
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: go with just the first five. Heel thirty seven at
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: bats against Toronto. Yeah, I know, the strike out walk
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: ratio is again really bad. Twelve strikeouts, fifteen walks. You
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: can't do that. You can't walk more than you strike out.
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. But they haven't been able to hit him
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: hardly at all. One sixty two batting average six twenty
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: oh ps. The ops a little bit high because of
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: all the walks. But I think he has the matchup
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: edge here, man, So we will go with the Yankees
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: first five innings there. Yes, sir, I cannot confirm nor
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: deny anything about that. Next up we're gonna do. We're
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: going to the unders. Now, we're gonna go Mets Red's
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: full game under nine. I like the under in this one, man,
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: and I don't know if the markets agree with me
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: on this one or not. Looks like it's not sixty
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: nine percent of the tickets on the over eighty eight
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: percent of the cash on the over. The totals dropped
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: from nine and a half to nine, but we're still
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: getting under that key number nine. Man. I was considering
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: first five innings here, which you can still probably do that,
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: and under four and a half maybe, but I'm gonna
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: go full game on this just because you do get
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: the key number. I don't hate the bullpens here. The
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: bullpens are mediocre and they haven't been that used. I
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: mean the time of the year where you get bullpen expansions.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: The teams didn't play the day before yesterday, so the
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: bullpen usage is not that heavy on either side. Really.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: Both teams use a few guys yesterday and we're off
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: the day before that. This is a big game, I
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: mean Cincinnati, both of these teams are playing for a
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: wildcard spot right now, and Cincinnati's fading fast. They're below
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: five hundred right now. But I'm going with the under
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: and not with a side here, man. So Cincinnati, they've
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: lost three in a row, I'm not gonna care about
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: that aspect of it. They did lose yesterday five to
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: four to the Mets. I'll talk about what the money
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: is doing in a second. But for me, this is
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: about the pitching matchup man, and we're including the bullpens
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: because the bullpens are both okay bullpens and again they're
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: decently rested. But we got Joonah Toong pitching for the
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Mets here. Man he is a very talented young pitchers,
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: drawing Tim Linsecam comparisons because he's not that tall, he's
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: kind of thin, and he throws really hard. Especially for
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: a small ish dude. It means he's gonna ruin his
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: back and have an early end to his career because
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: he throws with such a violent motion. He looks on
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: the almost exactly like Linsing come with his motion. He's
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: only made one start so far at the Mets, and
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: it wasn't as bad as it looked. He went five innings.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: I know the score was nineteen to nine, and it
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: bombed my under that I gave out in that game.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: But we're going back with an under in a Tong
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: game this time. Man. Tom only gave up one on
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: and run in that game, though his fielding failed him.
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: There were three hundred runs squared. He had six strikeouts,
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: no walks, so that was pretty good for a debut.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: I know it was against Miami and Cincinnati on the
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: road is a different store, is a hitter friendly ballpark.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: Cincinnati is a decent offense, but they're not a great offense,
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: and the Mets do have the better offense of the
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: two here, so I think Tong will do okay. And
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: he's unfamiliar to the Reds lineup, so again, he has
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: that unfamiliarity edge there against the Reds, so that's good.
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: So I think he should have an upper hand early
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: in the game here, So I like that. Hopefully he
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: lasts decently into this game, but you know, if we
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: have to get the Mets bullpend for a little bit,
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: I guess so be it here. Hopefully the hopefully the
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: first five doesn't wind up being correct with the full
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: game not being and Brady Singer's pitching for the Reds.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: He's been okay this year four point eighty Ray, one
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: point two to six whip. He's way better at home
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: three point one to ninety Ray at home, even though
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: it's a hitter friendly ballpark, and he's been pretty good recently,
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: a two point four to one ERA over the past month,
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: thirty nine to nine strike at walk ratio, the Reds
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: have actually won six of his last seven outings, with
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: the only loss being on the road at Pittsburgh. For
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: whatever reason, He's allowed one or fewer earned runs in
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: five of his last seven outings, So he is pitching
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: well right now. And against the Mets, he actually has
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: good numbers, even though their offense is good thirty two
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: at bats. They haven't seen that much of him because
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: he's new to the National League this year, because he
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: was on the Royals nine to two strike a walk
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: ratio two nineteen batting average five forty six ohps. So
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: I think Singer will actually do okay in this game
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: as well. So that's an under in that game next up,
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: which I think might be the strongest under. But the
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: Bullpends are in such bad shape. We have to go
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: first five. There's no other option. Baltimore Dodgers are gonna
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: go under four in the first five, but you have
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: to pay a bit for that and minus one thirty.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to go under three and
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: a half, you can do it, but there's just no
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: way that you can factor the Bullpens into this. One man,
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: the money's coming in on the over now, which worries me.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: The initial move was down towards the under. It went
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: from eight and a half juice to the over to
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: eight juice to the unders. That was a decent swing there.
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: It looks like the money's coming back on the over,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: but I don't agree with that. Fifty one percent of
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: tickets on the under, sixty one percent of the cash
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: on the over. Yes, it does worry me. Uh. Dodgers
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: their public seventy eight percent of tickets, ninety three percent
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: of the cash on them. They're up from minus one
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: forty to minus one forty three on the money line,
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: so the money kind of coming in on the Dodgers,
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: owned by the way. In the Cincinnati and Red's game,
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: the money is heavily on the Mets, by the way,
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: so Tom getting a lot of professional money there. Up
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: from minus one fifteen and minus one twenty nine. Fifty
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: one percent tickets on the Reds but eighty three percent
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: of the cash on the The Mets are actually getting
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: some strong market indicators on them. So do with that
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: information what you will. But anyway, back to this game
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: Dodgers Baltimore, this is all about the starting pitching matchup man,
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: and you cannot do anything with these bullpens. The bullpen's
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: got monstrously used yesterday. And by the way, the Dodgers
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: had to scratch Glass though I think he might be
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: heard again because Otani actually wound up making the start
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: for them yesterday and he went four innings I think,
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: and then their bullpen was heavily used. They used whatever
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: that is six relief pitchers yesterday. Baltimore used five. I mean,
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: not to really be outdone if that's considered to be outdone.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: And neither bullpen is really that good either. So with
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: that bullpen usage, the bullpen's being the worst of all
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: the ones that I'm gonna factor into any of these
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: games here, you gotta worry about that. So we're only
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: gonna go first five inninges here. I think that's the
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: way you have to do this one. Again, this is
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: about the starting pitching matchup here. As I said, Baltimore
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: actually won yesterday two to one. They won four games
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: in a row, oh my god, even though there were
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: return over from a road trip they want again, which
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: makes no sense. Dodgers not playing good baseball right now, man,
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: But again we're going with the under here. And one
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: of the other things about this is at least the Dodgers.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: Their offense is a little bit worse on the road
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: than it is at home, even though they obviously have
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: the better offense of these two teams. Dodgers might have
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: the slightly, but I don't know which team has the
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: better bullpen. I don't really give a shit because we're
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: not including the bullpens here again, starting pitching matchup, this
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: looks like a pitching duel man just straight up. Yamamoto
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: is pitching for the Dodgers two point eight two ERA
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: one point oh five whip. He's even better on the
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: road two point four to SIXTYRA in the road, so
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: he has the home road splits in his favor. Past
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: month good three point five six ERA thirty four to
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: nine strike a walk ratio. I mean he's been good
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: in virtually every start for a couple of months now.
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: He's giving up three or fewer earned runs and all
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: but one outing going all the way back into late June,
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: so he's on point. We know this. He's good, and
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: the Orioles have never faced before. So yea, I'm a
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: moto good talented pitcher who the Oriols are gonna have
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: to figure out and haven't seen him before. That's an
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: extra edge to him, so he should do well here,
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: and he's going up against Trevor Rodgers. Has been one
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: of the biggest surprises of the year. Since joining the
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: Oriols rotation, he's been shockingly good. One point three to
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: ninety RA point eight two whip. I mean, I don't
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: think he can keep this up, but he's doing it
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: a point seven six ERA and home he's been even
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: better at home. He's allowed exactly one on run in
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: every start over the past month, all in August. His
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: team won the last five of those starts. He had
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: a one point two ninety RA forty one to six
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: strike at walk racehow basically elite numbers. And since he's
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: been in Baltimore's rotation. He gave up three on runs
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: in his second start at that horrible Tampa Bay temporary stadium,
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: and aside from that, he's allowed two or fewer earned
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: runs in every other start. So he's been crazy good.
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: And against the Dodgers, he has good numbers two and
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: thirty one at bats not a huge sample, eleven to
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: two strike a walk ratio so two twenty six average
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: five ninety five ops, so really good numbers against the Dodgers,
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: so I think it's worth it. You got to find
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: a way to get this thing under man, so that's
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: the way to go. I really worry about doing it
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: full game though, so first five paying extra for it.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: Still think that's the way to go. And then the
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: one that worries me the most is actually this one. Houston,
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: Texas under seven to finish this off. This is a
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: pitching duel as well. In my opinion, we're gonna include
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: the bullpens just because I don't really want to go
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: under three and a half in the first five. I'm
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: hoping that the starters get us deep into this game.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Texas is bullpen I don't worry about. I know they
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: used four relief pitchers yesterday, but they got a solid bullpen.
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: They used Chris Martin, the coldplay guy, yesterday, but they've
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: had a they had the day before that off. I mean,
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: they have a pretty rested bullpen and a good bullpen,
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: so that's fine. Texas has the better bullpen, Houston has
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: the better offense. Houston used a ton of their bullpen yesterday,
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: though they used six of their relief pitchers yesterday, so
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: that does worry me. The Houston's bullpen usage is crazy.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: That's the one part of this that I really really
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: worry about and I don't like. But Texas their offense
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: can't hit, and they're really bad at home. I think
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: they're They have the fewest runs scored at home out
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: of any team in baseball, So that kind of counteracts
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: that a little bit. So we'll go with that. And then,
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: by the way, there's a crazy stat Texas at home
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: as far as how good they're pitching is at home,
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: their opponents have scored three or fewer earned runs against
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: them in Texas in seventy percent of the games at
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: Texas this year. That is crazy. Texas's opponents have scored
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: three or fewer earned runs in games at Texas seventy
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: percent of the time. That's insane. And that included last
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: night because we got the win on Texas four to three.
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: So yeah, that's just a crazy tidbit there. But a
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: lot of this is the starting pitching matchup and we're
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: hoping we get deep outings here. Hunter Brown is pitching
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: for the Astros. I think he was kind of in
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: line to pitch yesterday, although they didn't do it for
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: whatever reason. Maybe they don't want them totally wreck his arm.
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: But he's having a great season two point three four
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: ERA one point oh one and whip. He's been pretty
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: good both home and away, slightly worse on the road
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: two point four two ERA, but this is a very
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: pitcher friendly park man. He's been really good over the
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: last month. One point six seventy RA, thirty three to
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: eleven strike up walk ratio. He's allowed two or fewer
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: on runs in every one of those outings. He's been good,
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: including games against Boston twice at Detroit at the Red Sox.
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: One of them was at the Red Sox at the Yankees.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: He's just pitching well. Man. Now, he's got a pretty
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: weak lineup he's facing here. They got eight to nine
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: of bats against him, so they're familiar with him. Texas
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: is but twenty two to six strike a walk ratio,
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: two thirteen batting average allowed, five eighty nine ops so
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: Brown has done pretty well against sexast in the past.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: He's going up against the future Hall of Famer Jacob
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: de Gram, who's having another good season even at the
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: age of thirty seven. Two point six ninety IRA point
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: nine two WHIP. I guess you might have to be
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: a little bit concerned that he's wearing down because he's
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: thrown one hundred and fifty pitches and he hasn't thrown
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: that many pitches since our innings excuse me, pitches that
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: wouldn't be that much in one hundred and fifty at
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: thirty innings, hasn't done that a third of a pitch
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: would be weird. He hasn't done that since twenty nineteen.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: So yeah, that is a little bit of a concern
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: that he's, you know, ratcheting that up. But he's still
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: been good. He's really good at home two point two era.
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: He doesn't appear to really be wearing down now that
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: I know. He only went five innings in his last
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: few OUTI so they're kind of limiting him a little bit.
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: But Texas's bullpen is good, So I mean, I think
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: we're okay going with the full game under on this one.
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: If you want to go first five, I mean that
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: is also certainly a possibility here, but you have to
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: go under three and a half, which I just don't love.
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: Three point three eighty r and thirty one to seven
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: strike a walk ratio for de Gram in August, So
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: that's all pretty solid, and he's got good numbers against
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: Houston in sixty at bads seventeen to one, strike a
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: walk ratio two seventeen and average allowed six sixty three ops.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: So that's gonna do it. Man. Those are the plays here.
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: One more time college football coming up really soon. Troy
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: plus thirty one. I don't think any of my plays
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: are until the three pm slate though. Eastern plus thirty one,
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: Rutgers minus fourteen, Middle Tennessee plus twenty eight and a half,
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: Louisiana Tech plus thirty seven and a half. Baseball Yankees
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: first five money line, Mets and Reds under the total
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: full game, Baltimore and Dodgers under the total in the
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: first five innings, and Houston Texas under the total full game.
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: Seems to be the better way to do that. Oh
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: and I forgot to show the market read on that,
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: So let me do that real quickly and then I'll
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: get out of here. Market read on the Houston Texas
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: game real quick. Total still sitting at seven, we have
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: sixty eight percent of tickets, nineteen percent of the cash
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: on the over. That does worry me a little bit,
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: but seems like an undergame to me, and the money
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: is coming in towards Houston, which I guess makes me
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about Houston's bullpen situation. Texas
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: down for minus one twenty minus one sixteen, eighty nine
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: percent of tickets and fifty nine percent of the cash
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: on Texas, so the money somewhat back in Houston. Here.
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: The bullpens generally are fairly good. It's just Houston's has
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: injuries right now in the usage is bit of a concern.
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: But the fact the money's coming in on Houston kind
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: of leaves me to believe you're gonna get the deeper
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: start out of Houston, and that kind of helps as
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: far as the fact they have the worst of the
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: two bullpens here. So that's gonna do it. Man. Go
