- 0:18Speaker 2: I just don't want to do this anymore. I have
- 0:20Speaker 2: never seen anything like this.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Man with the slump continuing, two straight losses, not a
- 0:26Speaker 1: good day at all.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Own four that have not had a good season.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Man with wookends the slump that I'm on, and the
- 0:36Speaker 1: slump continues.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I've reached a new pink. Actually, I'm going to burn
- 0:41Speaker 2: my Bruins hack Man, I don't know what is going
- 0:44Speaker 2: on with the Bruins. Arch eight? Is that what it is?
- 0:47Speaker 2: I don't even know it's March ninth. I think who
- 0:50Speaker 2: even knows? Man, I don't know what day is anymore.
- 0:53Speaker 2: But I don't even know what data is anymore. Man,
- 0:55Speaker 2: back with you after the worst day that I can.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Possibly have, Back with you as I always am.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Until I die at least oh and two. Yesterday and
- 1:06Speaker 2: yesterday it did not go well for me. Own five.
- 1:10Speaker 1: The worst month that I've ever had in my eighteen
- 1:13Speaker 1: years doing this.
- 1:13Speaker 2: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
- 1:16Speaker 2: To the slumpy perise, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
- 1:23Speaker 1: I don't even know what I should do at this point,
- 1:26Speaker 1: other than potentially end it all.
- 1:33Speaker 2: What's up, everybody, It's Toad back with you. This is
- 1:37Speaker 2: better off dead.
- 1:37Speaker 1: This is gonna be the Major League Baseball postseason special,
- 1:41Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be going into this basically doing what
- 1:44Speaker 1: I usually do, filling out a bracket. I mean, the
- 1:47Speaker 1: baseball playoff bracket's a little bit different. I don't even
- 1:50Speaker 1: know what I'm about to do here, to be honest,
- 1:52Speaker 1: I'm going in pretty much completely blind. So this is
- 1:54Speaker 1: gonna be complete idiocy. But I've done this for NBA, NHL.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I got the NHL champion and right with the Florida Panthers. Baseball,
- 2:02Speaker 1: I think is the most unpredictable, though NHL probably the
- 2:06Speaker 1: second most unpredictable out of like the four may well actually.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Don't yeah, I don't know. NFL is pretty unpredictable too.
- 2:13Speaker 2: NBA is the most predictable, even though I got the
- 2:16Speaker 2: champion wrong this year.
- 2:17Speaker 1: I mean Jason Tatum got hurt whatever, like what can
- 2:20Speaker 1: you do the But I think baseball's got to be
- 2:24Speaker 1: the most unpredictable though hockey second, because.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Those are the sports.
- 2:29Speaker 1: That are just well, I mean, NFL you don't have series,
- 2:31Speaker 1: so like the better team might lose on any given
- 2:34Speaker 1: day too, so they're all really unpredictable.
- 2:36Speaker 2: But baseball has some shorter.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Series, has some buys going on, some gays as well.
- 2:42Speaker 2: It's pretty weird.
- 2:43Speaker 1: NHL at least has kind of longer series and no buys,
- 2:46Speaker 1: so you can kind of.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Predict it.
- 2:49Speaker 1: It's more predictable in that way, I guess. But both
- 2:52Speaker 1: NHL and MLB they got a lot of like low scoring,
- 2:55Speaker 1: close games basically, so it's kind of it's difficult to
- 2:58Speaker 1: figure out what's going on. Man.
- 2:59Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go into this.
- 3:00Speaker 1: I'm gonna do what I usually do usually, I'm gonna like,
- 3:03Speaker 1: I mean, for baseball, I kind of want to go
- 3:04Speaker 1: in like break down, like, well, who are like the
- 3:08Speaker 1: picture is gonna be in each like rotation, but I
- 3:10Speaker 1: don't even know if we know like what the teams
- 3:12Speaker 1: are gonna how they're gonna set up some of their rotations.
- 3:15Speaker 1: So I don't even know. Man, it's gonna be kind
- 3:17Speaker 1: of crazy. I mean, kind of bring up the schedule
- 3:19Speaker 1: and see. I don't want this to be a long video.
- 3:20Speaker 1: By the way, I was gonna have Clint joined me
- 3:24Speaker 1: for this, but Clint has some some family related things
- 3:30Speaker 1: that he needs to attend to, so he is not
- 3:31Speaker 1: gonna be joining me for this. So I'm just gonna
- 3:34Speaker 1: do it now. I'm gonna be out tomorrow night, so
- 3:37Speaker 1: I'm doing it now. But let's let's just get into it, man,
- 3:40Speaker 1: because the the.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Structure is set.
- 3:43Speaker 1: At least, I have the schedule up here so you
- 3:45Speaker 1: can actually kind of see it starts Tuesday with I
- 3:48Speaker 1: guess half of the series get get going on Tuesday,
- 3:52Speaker 1: starting in the afternoon.
- 3:54Speaker 2: But I'm gonna just look at like the.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Bracket instead here and this is the bracket here as
- 3:59Speaker 1: we can see it here, six teams on each side.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Make them make the bracket now because there are three
- 4:05Speaker 1: divisional winners three wild cards. Oh so you do know, Okay, Yes,
- 4:08Speaker 1: prayers for Clint's dad for sure. Everybody pray for Clint's dad.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:14Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't sure that anybody actually knew about her,
- 4:18Speaker 1: that it was public but yes, I don't want to
- 4:22Speaker 1: say anything just because I don't know how much is public.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I'm not going to say anything about it. But yeah,
- 4:27Speaker 1: but yes, thank you, Charles.
- 4:30Speaker 2: So three divisional winners, of course, each.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Make the playoffs, the each host the first round, and
- 4:36Speaker 1: then the team with the better record hosts from then on.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I don't think they're doing the stupid All Star thing anymore,
- 4:42Speaker 1: where the team that wins the All Star Game, the
- 4:45Speaker 1: league that wins the All Star Game is to host
- 4:47Speaker 1: the World Series. I don't think that that's happening anymore.
- 4:51Speaker 1: But then we have the wild Cards getting in. Of course,
- 4:54Speaker 1: the big stories were kind of that Cleveland got in
- 4:58Speaker 1: after that ridiculous run that they and they actually won
- 5:01Speaker 1: the NL Central after they were losing by double digit
- 5:05Speaker 1: wins or by they had a double digit the Tigers
- 5:11Speaker 1: had a double digit lead, let's just put it that way.
- 5:13Speaker 1: And Cleveland was actually in fourth place I think in
- 5:16Speaker 1: like mid July in that division and they're not even
- 5:18Speaker 1: good offensively. I mean, it's just crazy. I mean they
- 5:21Speaker 1: offend me at least. So that was one of the
- 5:23Speaker 1: huge stories. Houston got left out for the first time
- 5:26Speaker 1: in almost a decade as they did not make it,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and the other big stories the Mets got left out,
- 5:33Speaker 1: and the Mets statistically had some of the like some
- 5:37Speaker 1: metrics that were like better than almost every team that
- 5:40Speaker 1: gets left out of the play Like they're one of
- 5:42Speaker 1: the best teams that's ever been left out of the
- 5:44Speaker 1: playoffs statistically in various ways. The Mets had some pretty
- 5:48Speaker 1: good hitting, some pretty solid pitching as well, and they
- 5:51Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs. That's crazy. And the way that
- 5:55Speaker 1: we do it now, I mean, there are three wildcards now,
- 5:57Speaker 1: so it's pretty crazy for those teams to not make
- 5:59Speaker 1: the playoffs.
- 6:01Speaker 2: So we can see the structure here, the one in
- 6:03Speaker 2: the two seeds.
- 6:04Speaker 1: I get buys now in each league, so that is
- 6:07Speaker 1: gonna be the Toronto Blue Jays of Seattle Mariners, Milwaukee Brewers,
- 6:11Speaker 1: and Philadelphia Phillies, you know. So, I mean it doesn't
- 6:16Speaker 1: even really matter what honestly in baseball, like you see,
- 6:19Speaker 1: wild cards basically make a run to the World Series
- 6:22Speaker 1: like a lot with his structure, So it doesn't even
- 6:24Speaker 1: really matter that much. Teams win on the road a
- 6:27Speaker 1: lot in baseball too. Detroit fell apart. Yeah, I wouldn't
- 6:31Speaker 1: have been betting that much on Detroit. I don't think
- 6:33Speaker 1: I when's the last time I gave out a Detroit
- 6:35Speaker 1: money line bet on my show?
- 6:37Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Yeah, the Mets have a ton of money as well,
- 6:40Speaker 1: because baseball isn't salary capped, right, so you have like
- 6:43Speaker 1: the Yankees the Mets. These teams pay a ton of
- 6:47Speaker 1: money and they're still basically fucked.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Let's let's dive into this, man, So you know how
- 6:52Speaker 1: I do this, right, So I take a look at
- 6:55Speaker 1: like who the public are picking here, and I want
- 6:59Speaker 1: to like fade that sentiment and go against the grain,
- 7:02Speaker 1: right and look at Actually I didn't bring up my
- 7:04Speaker 1: odds converter.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Yet, let me do that too. Hang on, Yeah, that
- 7:13Speaker 2: all right? The odds converter here, just to have this
- 7:16Speaker 2: up and what's up? Thanks for hanging out.
- 7:18Speaker 1: So this is just I'm not gonna convert it to
- 7:20Speaker 1: like the actual percentage, but the implied probability will be
- 7:23Speaker 1: close enough.
- 7:24Speaker 2: So this is.
- 7:26Speaker 1: ESPN doesn't do the like who picked whom anymore for
- 7:29Speaker 1: each round like they used to do. It was very
- 7:31Speaker 1: helpful in the NCAA basketball bracket. I don't know why
- 7:34Speaker 1: they don't do that, but you can get a gauge
- 7:35Speaker 1: of like what the public is doing here. Public basically
- 7:38Speaker 1: is going Phillies over Mariners in the World Series, which
- 7:41Speaker 1: seems kind of crazy to me because, well, the Phillies,
- 7:44Speaker 1: we know, they don't have Zach Wheeler anymore, although they've
- 7:46Speaker 1: been playing really well anyway, but he's like their best
- 7:49Speaker 1: starting pitcher and he's done, and we do have the.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Mariners, I mean, just historically.
- 7:55Speaker 1: It's kind of weird because I think the Mariners are
- 7:57Speaker 1: the only team left in baseball that has never been
- 8:01Speaker 1: to a World Series at all. I'm pretty sure, And
- 8:04Speaker 1: I think there are a couple of teams in here
- 8:06Speaker 1: that I think have never won a World Series, and
- 8:08Speaker 1: the Mariners obviously are one of them, but I think
- 8:09Speaker 1: there might be a couple other ones too, because DraftKings
- 8:13Speaker 1: actually has a prop on that a first time winner.
- 8:17Speaker 1: The yes on a team winning their first World Series
- 8:19Speaker 1: is plus two five.
- 8:21Speaker 2: So it's not just Seattle. It must be Seattle.
- 8:24Speaker 1: And I don't know which other teams have never won
- 8:27Speaker 1: one before Milwaukee. Maybe I'm not sure there might be
- 8:30Speaker 1: a couple other teams in there too.
- 8:31Speaker 2: I don't know. I'd have to look that up, but.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Don't want to really take it take history into account
- 8:36Speaker 1: that much, I don't think. And then if we look
- 8:37Speaker 1: at what are the percentages here? Okay, the Phillies are
- 8:40Speaker 1: the most picked champion here at twenty one point three percent.
- 8:44Speaker 2: We look at the odds.
- 8:45Speaker 1: The Phillies are the odds on favorite to win, but
- 8:47Speaker 1: they're only plus four to twenty five, so they're four
- 8:50Speaker 1: point two five to one, So even without Zach Wheeler though,
- 8:52Speaker 1: that's kind of crazy, the Phillies are the They have
- 8:55Speaker 1: the best odds to win the whole thing. And even
- 8:58Speaker 1: though the Brewers and the number one seed in the
- 9:00Speaker 1: National League, they're only at eight to one, so pretty interesting.
- 9:03Speaker 1: They're's same with the Blue Jays eight to one, even
- 9:06Speaker 1: though they're the one seed in the American League. So
- 9:09Speaker 1: the yeah, I mean, the seeds don't matter that much.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Like I said, man, it's kind of crazy. So the
- 9:15Speaker 1: Phillies have the best odds at Seattle actually have the
- 9:18Speaker 1: second best odds, and those are the one and two
- 9:21Speaker 1: seeds I guess. Then the Dodgers are actually tied with Seattle.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Then the Yankees are behind that. Seattle and Dodgers both
- 9:27Speaker 1: the five to one. Yankees at seven to one, Pretty crazy, man,
- 9:31Speaker 1: and then all these other teams are long shots. My
- 9:33Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox big time long shot at twenty two
- 9:37Speaker 1: to one. Don't think we're gonna do that. But anyway, Phillies,
- 9:41Speaker 1: let's take a look at what that's gonna be. So
- 9:43Speaker 1: at plus four twenty five, it's gonna be I was
- 9:45Speaker 1: gonna say, it's gonna be close. That's a nineteen percent
- 9:48Speaker 1: implied probability. So you don't usually want to take the
- 9:52Speaker 1: most pick champion unless there's like a real like unless
- 9:55Speaker 1: they're actually seriously being underpicked still, which is usually not
- 9:58Speaker 1: the case. All right, so it's not going to be them,
- 10:00Speaker 1: So we'll look at it's gonna be the Mariners basically,
- 10:03Speaker 1: I mean, you can see here the Mariners are gonna
- 10:04Speaker 1: be They're picked thirteen point one percent in these brackets here,
- 10:09Speaker 1: but they have the second best odds at five hundred
- 10:11Speaker 1: to one, same as which is sixteen point seven percent
- 10:14Speaker 1: implied probability, same as the Dodgers. So the Dodgers at
- 10:17Speaker 1: fifteen percent. Uh So you're getting a little bit of
- 10:21Speaker 1: an advantage if you play the Dodgers, but more of
- 10:24Speaker 1: one if you take the Mariners. That's pretty crazy, man.
- 10:27Speaker 1: And then the Brewers are being overpicked. I guess at
- 10:29Speaker 1: thirteen zero point six percent, the Brewers only at eight
- 10:32Speaker 1: to one implied probability of eleven to one. So in
- 10:35Speaker 1: my opinion, you do not want to pick the Brewers,
- 10:38Speaker 1: even though they do play really well on the road.
- 10:40Speaker 1: The Brewers did get their closer back by the way
- 10:42Speaker 1: mcguil he pitched today, so they have a few good.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Pitchers in that bullpen there, Brewers.
- 10:49Speaker 1: I mean, you're got to think about these starting rotations though,
- 10:51Speaker 1: which kind of like is in my mind here, I'm
- 10:53Speaker 1: kind of thinking, like, what are these teams starting rotations
- 10:55Speaker 1: look like?
- 10:56Speaker 2: Here? Like the Phillies have Christopher Sanchez at the top.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Maybe we should do that. Actually, maybe we should just
- 11:02Speaker 1: look at the depth chart really quick, because I think
- 11:04Speaker 1: it does matter to some extent if we go to
- 11:06Speaker 1: the I don't again, I don't want this video to
- 11:09Speaker 1: take that long. But I mean, of course, ESPN, this
- 11:13Speaker 1: hover thing doesn't even work. So if you look at
- 11:17Speaker 1: like the Phillies first, we can see their depth chart here,
- 11:19Speaker 1: that'll be easy enough to see. We got Sanchez at
- 11:21Speaker 1: the top, ron you're Suarez. I don't know why he's
- 11:24Speaker 1: got double D titties what's that And I don't know
- 11:26Speaker 1: what that's about.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Then Luzardo and Nola, so that's usually teams.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Go with the four man rotation, So I mean, that's
- 11:33Speaker 1: a decent rotation, but it would definitely be a huge
- 11:36Speaker 1: one two punch with Wheeler there, So I don't I
- 11:38Speaker 1: still don't know if I trust any of those pitchers
- 11:40Speaker 1: beside Sanchez, to be honest. Then we got one of
- 11:45Speaker 1: the other teams that were looking at Seattle. I just
- 11:49Speaker 1: want to run through these real quick man, and then
- 11:51Speaker 1: we know, like Phillies have a good offense as well,
- 11:53Speaker 1: Seattle also pretty solid offense. I mean most of the
- 11:56Speaker 1: teams that make the playoffs are gonna be pretty much
- 11:59Speaker 1: top ten in offense. Seattle's got Luis Castillo listed as
- 12:02Speaker 1: their number one Kirby and then Brian wu is gonna
- 12:05Speaker 1: be third in the rotation.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Even he might be their best pitcher.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Uh, he got a concussion, I think in his last start,
- 12:11Speaker 1: so I don't know if he's gonna be back.
- 12:12Speaker 2: So that is something to keep an eye on here.
- 12:14Speaker 1: D D means day to day, so I think it's
- 12:16Speaker 1: not really a he played light catch today.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Man, it's not really a problem.
- 12:21Speaker 1: So D d I mean, I think it means they're
- 12:22Speaker 1: gonna play and then they have Logan Gilbert h Yeah,
- 12:25Speaker 1: So I mean that's that is a pretty good rotation
- 12:27Speaker 1: for Seattle. But those guys are all much better at
- 12:29Speaker 1: home than on the road. But it is not a
- 12:32Speaker 1: bad rotation if we're thinking about taking Seattle. I still
- 12:34Speaker 1: think the best starting rotation is the Dodgers. They got
- 12:38Speaker 1: Yamamoto at the top. Otani is listed as being in
- 12:42Speaker 1: the in the four man rotation here, and then Glasnow
- 12:45Speaker 1: and Snell. I mean the fact that those guys both
- 12:47Speaker 1: got healthy, Like they almost have like four aces here,
- 12:51Speaker 1: So like the Dodgers are definitely gonna be tough to
- 12:53Speaker 1: knock out. Dude, Like I said that, I thought the
- 12:55Speaker 1: Dodgers would be undervalued in the playoffs here even though
- 12:58Speaker 1: they are the Dodgers they last year, they carry that
- 13:01Speaker 1: name recognition when of course they have one of the
- 13:03Speaker 1: top offenses too, and I think I probably would give them.
- 13:07Speaker 1: I think they have the best starting rotation. Man, even
- 13:10Speaker 1: though Tani not used to pitching in the playoffs, I
- 13:13Speaker 1: don't think it'll playoff rotation.
- 13:15Speaker 2: But like this is I mean, this is pretty good. Yea,
- 13:17Speaker 2: I'm a Moto.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I think at least got some experience last year. I
- 13:21Speaker 1: think Glasnow and Snell are really actually the one and two,
- 13:24Speaker 1: So the fact that they're listed at third and fourth
- 13:26Speaker 1: right now is pretty crazy.
- 13:27Speaker 2: To be honest. What are the other teams that we're
- 13:30Speaker 2: looking at? Here?
- 13:32Speaker 1: We got the Brewers rotation. I don't know what the
- 13:34Speaker 1: Brewers are gonna do with their rotation with Peralta, of
- 13:39Speaker 1: course is their number one. Kitana's on the IL, so
- 13:42Speaker 1: I don't think he's coming back, So then I don't
- 13:45Speaker 1: really love it.
- 13:45Speaker 2: Man.
- 13:45Speaker 1: I was thinking that their starting rotation looked like it
- 13:48Speaker 1: was gonna be good. But where the fuck is Brandon Woodrooff?
- 13:50Speaker 2: Is he hurt too? So Woodroof was.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Like he came back and he's actually been really good
- 13:55Speaker 1: in the past. He was pitching well this season. If
- 13:58Speaker 1: they're missing Woodroof too, I mean this is gonna be
- 14:00Speaker 1: This is honestly not a good rotation. Parralta is very good,
- 14:03Speaker 1: but then Priester, he's been pitching above his pay. Great man,
- 14:06Speaker 1: I know they keep winning his games, but I don't know, man.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And then you got Chad Patrick and Mizierowski. I know,
- 14:12Speaker 1: Misierowski is really talented, but this is a very inexperienced
- 14:15Speaker 1: pitching rotation here.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Man, I don't love it at all.
- 14:18Speaker 1: I was thinking that Miz like if he came in,
- 14:20Speaker 1: it was like really like basically Paul's schemes and he
- 14:23Speaker 1: was out there just dominating, and then like Woodruff was
- 14:26Speaker 1: in the rotation, and maybe Kintana was.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Like the fourth starter.
- 14:29Speaker 1: I was thinking that was gonna be a pretty good rotation.
- 14:31Speaker 1: But it's not looking that good right now to me.
- 14:36Speaker 1: What are the other teams he got? I mean we
- 14:37Speaker 1: got the Yankees, of course. I don't think the Yankees
- 14:40Speaker 1: rotation is honestly that good. And they got Max Freed
- 14:45Speaker 1: at the top. I mean, he's obviously good. Carlos Redone
- 14:47Speaker 1: has good numbers, but he's had some bouts where.
- 14:50Speaker 2: He hasn't really been that good.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Luis heel walks too many people, and Redone kind of
- 14:55Speaker 1: has done that as well.
- 14:56Speaker 2: And then Will Warren.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I don't think it's particularly great either. So yank they're
- 15:00Speaker 1: more of an offensive team for sure. They have one
- 15:02Speaker 1: of the top offenses quite obviously, but they're pitching I
- 15:06Speaker 1: think maybe a bit of a bit of a concern,
- 15:10Speaker 1: and surprisingly they're only getting eleven percent of the up
- 15:13Speaker 1: picks though here, so they actually there actually might be
- 15:16Speaker 1: some value on the Yankees there at at seven to one,
- 15:19Speaker 1: Like what a seven to one? What's the imply probability
- 15:22Speaker 1: on that twelve point five percent? So there is actually
- 15:24Speaker 1: ridiculously a little bit of value maybe taking the Yankees
- 15:28Speaker 1: the rest of the teams, I don't think there's a
- 15:29Speaker 1: whole lot of value. Plus they're percentage. I mean, their
- 15:32Speaker 1: odds are just too low the rest of the team.
- 15:34Speaker 1: So I don't know that we really care. I don't
- 15:36Speaker 1: know if we want to dig into the rest of
- 15:37Speaker 1: the rotations. But like Padres have Nick Pavetta as their
- 15:40Speaker 1: first starter, I can tell you that, and then Michael
- 15:42Speaker 1: King just came back.
- 15:43Speaker 2: They got you.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Darvish, and uh, I don't know who the fuck else
- 15:47Speaker 1: do they have. I guess we can look san Diego here,
- 15:52Speaker 1: mis see real quick? Oh yeah, Dylan Cees. How could
- 15:56Speaker 1: I forget? He had kind of a down season this year.
- 15:59Speaker 1: That's starting rotation is not that bad though, but I
- 16:01Speaker 1: think on the road it's not going to be that
- 16:03Speaker 1: good of a starting rotation. At home, it is, but
- 16:06Speaker 1: I think San Diego actually probably has a worse pitching
- 16:09Speaker 1: home road dichotomy than.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Than Seattle does Chicago.
- 16:15Speaker 1: The Cubs might be in trouble because Kate Horton was
- 16:18Speaker 1: pitching so well for them, and he's not going to
- 16:20Speaker 1: be able to pitch right away. He's on the il,
- 16:22Speaker 1: so he might come back like a series or two
- 16:25Speaker 1: into the playoffs if they make it that far, but
- 16:27Speaker 1: he's not going to be there right away, so that's
- 16:28Speaker 1: a problem.
- 16:29Speaker 2: So now they're down to I Minaga, who is pretty good.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Matthew Boyd I think was really just kind of I
- 16:35Speaker 1: think he's been overworked this season, Matt, so I don't
- 16:37Speaker 1: know if you can really trust him. And then Jameson
- 16:39Speaker 1: tiem is okay. Colin Ray not really a fan, so
- 16:43Speaker 1: I don't love that Cub's rotation really at all. Detroit,
- 16:47Speaker 1: of course, we know they have school Ball at the top,
- 16:49Speaker 1: so that is obviously a big deal, but then the.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Rest of the rotation pretty bad.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty, I mean, at least he has experienced Casey Mize,
- 16:57Speaker 1: who's just you know, I talk about an overrated he is.
- 17:00Speaker 1: And then they're basically gonna go bullp end game for
- 17:03Speaker 1: like one of the four one of every one of
- 17:05Speaker 1: every four games of the playoffs, which I know they're
- 17:08Speaker 1: used to doing that, but I don't know how much
- 17:10Speaker 1: that can carry Detroit Cleveland. I don't know if we
- 17:13Speaker 1: trust their starting rotation that much. Man Tanner Biby is
- 17:16Speaker 1: at the top of the rotation. He had a kind
- 17:18Speaker 1: of down year though, and then they got Gavin Williams,
- 17:20Speaker 1: who did have some really good starts but still kind
- 17:24Speaker 1: of tricky man him and then Logan Allen I don't
- 17:26Speaker 1: think is really that great either. Slay chacone talented young pitcher,
- 17:30Speaker 1: but not a whole lot of experience here for these
- 17:33Speaker 1: Cleveland pitchers. Man, and with Biby having the most experience
- 17:37Speaker 1: at the top, I mean, maybe he'll pitch well in
- 17:39Speaker 1: the playoffs, but I really don't think he could trust
- 17:41Speaker 1: that Cleveland rotation very much either. Cincinnati also made the
- 17:45Speaker 1: playoffs their rotation. It's interesting they got Hunter Green at
- 17:49Speaker 1: the top. You know, I think he's excellent, but he
- 17:51Speaker 1: doesn't have experience, but I think he is really good.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Andrew Abbat had a really good season, maybe overperformed a
- 17:58Speaker 1: little bit.
- 17:59Speaker 2: Although he is still pretty good.
- 18:00Speaker 1: But Nicolodolo listed his day to day he really has
- 18:02Speaker 1: been struggling though, he has a blister issue, and then
- 18:05Speaker 1: he had some other issue too, I think, so I
- 18:07Speaker 1: don't know if he's fully healthy. And then for some
- 18:09Speaker 1: reason they have Brady Singer listed as their fifth starter
- 18:12Speaker 1: and zach le Tel was their fourth. It's actually interesting
- 18:15Speaker 1: because they actually have five like reasonably decent starters here,
- 18:19Speaker 1: so I don't even.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Know what order I would put them in. Man like
- 18:22Speaker 2: I would consider.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Going with a five man rotation with Cincinnati and Terry
- 18:26Speaker 1: Franccona their manager, by the way, We'll see how he
- 18:29Speaker 1: manages this.
- 18:30Speaker 2: It's interesting. I think Cincinnati actually probably has.
- 18:32Speaker 1: The deepest pitching rotation here, but I don't know that
- 18:35Speaker 1: it's necessarily terrific.
- 18:37Speaker 2: But looking at this, I'm like, oh, yeah, that's not
- 18:39Speaker 2: that bad.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Terry Francona, though, shout out to him my favorite Red
- 18:43Speaker 1: Sox manager, which I mean, of course, he won a
- 18:45Speaker 1: couple of World Series with them, and it was during
- 18:48Speaker 1: my lifetime, so of course I'm gonna say that.
- 18:50Speaker 2: But and then that was the rest of the team,
- 18:52Speaker 2: so there we go, all right. But anyway, I think
- 18:55Speaker 2: it's gonna be Seattle man at five to one.
- 18:57Speaker 1: I mean, they're yeah, almost the favorite to win, and
- 19:00Speaker 1: They're only being picked out of the fourth most out
- 19:02Speaker 1: of all these teams, even though they're behind all the
- 19:04Speaker 1: NL teams, So people are picking them to win the AL.
- 19:07Speaker 1: So I don't know if they're being overvalued in that capacity,
- 19:10Speaker 1: but I think as far as winning the whole thing,
- 19:12Speaker 1: people are not really doing it.
- 19:13Speaker 2: So I'm actually gonna do it.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Oh my god, if it happens, it would be ridiculous.
- 19:18Speaker 1: So we're gonna go with the Mariners to win the
- 19:20Speaker 1: whole thing. And then as far as winning the NL,
- 19:23Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if we have odds on
- 19:25Speaker 1: winning the NL.
- 19:25Speaker 2: Do we?
- 19:26Speaker 1: Let me see we have these are the champion odds. Here,
- 19:28Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you have for Let's go
- 19:30Speaker 1: to MLB.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Game lines.
- 19:34Speaker 1: No, no, no, I want future. Well this is yeah,
- 19:36Speaker 1: it's just World Series only here. Yeah, that's all we have,
- 19:39Speaker 1: just the World Series. And then there are specials first
- 19:43Speaker 1: time winner, oh, winning the division, winning the league. Okay,
- 19:45Speaker 1: there it is wait what oh, the winning league of
- 19:49Speaker 1: the World Series. I'm like, wait what? And then the
- 19:51Speaker 1: winning division of the World Series.
- 19:52Speaker 2: I get it.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so whatever, yeah, which league is gonna win
- 19:57Speaker 1: the World Series? The National League is a slight favorite whatever.
- 20:01Speaker 1: I kind of I wanted to see, like which, Oh
- 20:04Speaker 1: here it is the leagues. There it is so Seattle
- 20:07Speaker 1: at plus one ninety to win the American League.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Pretty interesting.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Their blue Jay second at plus two to eighty Yankees
- 20:14Speaker 1: plus three fifty. So the teams they get. The Buys
- 20:17Speaker 1: do have a little bit of an advantage there according
- 20:18Speaker 1: to those odds. And then Phillies at plus two ten.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Phillies are being overpicked though. You know I said I
- 20:23Speaker 1: don't love the Brewers here. I think they're being overpicked
- 20:26Speaker 1: too in some way. I'm gonna go with the Dodgers
- 20:28Speaker 1: to win the National League. I mean, I just think
- 20:31Speaker 1: their starter rotation is just very good. They do have
- 20:34Speaker 1: the experience there. They're gonna come out of the wildcard
- 20:36Speaker 1: to do it, though, so they have to get through
- 20:38Speaker 1: the through the Phillies to do it. But that's what
- 20:41Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I think it should be not much
- 20:42Speaker 1: of a sweat to beat the Reds. I'll look at
- 20:45Speaker 1: the series price here. Let me see, where are the
- 20:46Speaker 1: series wildcard round These are the only odds we have.
- 20:49Speaker 1: We had the Yankees at minus one sixty five against
- 20:52Speaker 1: the Red Sox Dodgers minus two forty five over the Reds, Tigers,
- 20:56Speaker 1: and Indians at minus one ten both teams and Cubs
- 20:59Speaker 1: slight favorite plus one twenty five. Excuse me, minus one
- 21:03Speaker 1: twenty five. All right, So got to just pick the
- 21:06Speaker 1: rest of those series. Now, that's basically gonna be it well,
- 21:09Speaker 1: and then it's gonna be which is uh so we
- 21:12Speaker 1: already have, Yeah, we need the other teams that make
- 21:15Speaker 1: it to the AL and NLCS.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Though, So I guess which teams are those gonna be?
- 21:20Speaker 1: Ah man, hold on so well, Actually, we can look
- 21:24Speaker 1: at the bracket here, just like how often are these
- 21:26Speaker 1: teams being picked to get there? So basically everybody has Mariners,
- 21:30Speaker 1: Blue Jays, everybody has Phillies and Brewers. Of course, I
- 21:32Speaker 1: knocked the Phillies out, and I have the Dodgers there.
- 21:37Speaker 1: I'm considering bouncing the Brewers too, though, I want to
- 21:40Speaker 1: see what the rest of the odds are there, and
- 21:42Speaker 1: then I'm also considering bouncing the Blue Jays. To be honest,
- 21:46Speaker 1: I don't know if either of those teams are gonna
- 21:47Speaker 1: get there. Going a little bit against the grain, if
- 21:50Speaker 1: I do that, it could be chaos, man.
- 21:52Speaker 2: It's I mean, it's it's baseball. You know how it is.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Let me see. Uh what did I what was it? Dude?
- 21:59Speaker 1: Everything is like all so all over the place. Oh yeah,
- 22:01Speaker 1: leagues is what I wanted. Yeah, that'll just tell me
- 22:03Speaker 1: a little bit about it. So Blue Jays have the
- 22:06Speaker 1: second bets odds. If we're gonna bounce them, we probably
- 22:08Speaker 1: have to go with the Yankees to get there, which sucks.
- 22:11Speaker 1: And I know the Red Sox did well against the Yankees,
- 22:13Speaker 1: there are nine to four against them this year, but
- 22:15Speaker 1: they have Max Freed going up against Garrett Crochet in
- 22:18Speaker 1: the first game. So if it was Crochet against anybody else,
- 22:21Speaker 1: the Red Sox would have a like almost no, I
- 22:24Speaker 1: don't want to say a guaranteed win, but it would
- 22:26Speaker 1: be pretty difficult for the Yankees to win that game.
- 22:28Speaker 1: But with Freed against him, I still think the Red
- 22:31Speaker 1: Sox have a slight edge in that game, but it's
- 22:33Speaker 1: very close. So I'm still gonna go with the Yankees
- 22:36Speaker 1: to get there. Man, it sucks, but that's what I'm
- 22:39Speaker 1: gonna do. And then let's see. Oh yeah, in the
- 22:44Speaker 1: National League, Brewers, let's see, I'm not loving it, not
- 22:48Speaker 1: loving it. Let's see what else the Brewers seem like
- 22:50Speaker 1: they're being overpicked a bit. But if we go with
- 22:53Speaker 1: somebody else in that bracket, it has to be San
- 22:55Speaker 1: Diego or the Cubs there, oh god, oh, man, san
- 23:02Speaker 1: Diego on the road against the Cubs, Cubs will only
- 23:04Speaker 1: being picked fifty one percent of the time, So they're
- 23:06Speaker 1: being picked. Actually they're being short changed slightly in that series.
- 23:11Speaker 1: But man, without Kate Horton in that series San Diego,
- 23:15Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know both teams. I think I
- 23:17Speaker 1: have a little bit of experience with the Cubs there
- 23:19Speaker 1: last year. I don't remember were they Man, it's a difficult,
- 23:25Speaker 1: difficult call there in that one. Yeah, I'm gonna go
- 23:30Speaker 1: with the pod race to just run through and knock
- 23:32Speaker 1: the knock the Brewers out.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Whatever. Oh, let's do it.
- 23:35Speaker 1: And then uh yeah, and then we finish off with
- 23:37Speaker 1: the I only have I only have one series left,
- 23:40Speaker 1: I think, and that's and it's Tigers Cleveland. I'm gonna
- 23:43Speaker 1: go with the Tigers. Fuck Cleveland. Fuck that run that
- 23:45Speaker 1: they have. Tigers have school ball pitching in Game one,
- 23:48Speaker 1: so if they win that game, it's gonna be a
- 23:50Speaker 1: little bit difficult.
- 23:51Speaker 2: I know.
- 23:51Speaker 1: The odds are just minus one hundred against minus one
- 23:53Speaker 1: hundred there, but and Tigers are on the road, but
- 23:57Speaker 1: and they're much better at home.
- 23:58Speaker 2: But that's the bracket. That's stupid. How many total runs.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Will be scored in the entire postseason? Geez, I mean what.
- 24:06Speaker 2: I mean?
- 24:07Speaker 1: Average total is probably what eight or nine? Probably eight,
- 24:10Speaker 1: a little bit lower in the playoffs.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Maybe eight.
- 24:14Speaker 1: I mean, how many fucking games do we think are
- 24:15Speaker 1: gonna be played in all these series combined?
- 24:17Speaker 2: I don't fucking know. H I don't know. I'll fill that.
- 24:20Speaker 2: I'll figure that out later. Yeah.
- 24:23Speaker 1: My pick to win is the Seattle Mariners. There you go, man,
- 24:26Speaker 1: Mariners over Dodgers. It's gonna get ridiculous, It's gonna get chaotic.
- 24:30Speaker 1: That is baseball. I mean, that's that's the way that
- 24:33Speaker 1: it is. You think the Cubs are gonna beat San Diego?
- 24:37Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know. That one is
- 24:40Speaker 1: really tough for me to gauge. I think the winner
- 24:43Speaker 1: of that series will bounce the Brewers, though I I
- 24:46Speaker 1: don't love the Brewers here, so I don't know.
- 24:49Speaker 2: We're gonna see what happens with that.
- 24:51Speaker 1: San Diego with Michael King back in the rotation, though
- 24:55Speaker 1: San Diego was in the mix last year Cubs. I
- 24:58Speaker 1: don't remember what the Cubs have done last Cup the Cubs,
- 25:01Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 25:01Speaker 2: Man. To me there, I don't love that starting rotation.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Man, I could see some more flaws with the Cubs
- 25:06Speaker 1: starting rotation, although I think the Dodgers still have the
- 25:09Speaker 1: least flawed starting rotation. I'm going to the Mariners. Don't
- 25:12Speaker 1: have much experience here, but that's what I'm gonna go with.
- 25:15Speaker 1: That's that's it, man. It'll be a half hour video
- 25:20Speaker 1: really pretty much stupid, but that's that's how I'm gonna
- 25:23Speaker 1: do it. I'm just going against what people think, basically.
- 25:25Speaker 1: But I wish we kind of had the sort of
- 25:29Speaker 1: more of the like who picked whom into each round,
- 25:32Speaker 1: just so I could really figure out, like what the
- 25:33Speaker 1: odds were for each one.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Plaques A toade Baris.
- 25:36Speaker 1: I hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot here, man, that's.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Gonna do it.
- 25:40Speaker 1: I gotta get some sleep. I'll be back in the morning,
- 25:42Speaker 1: but there's not much going on tomorrow. I don't think
- 25:44Speaker 1: as far as sports, it's gonna be Monday night football
- 25:46Speaker 1: that we're gonna talk about in the morning, and that
- 25:48Speaker 1: might literally be it. So we finally get some short
- 25:50Speaker 1: videos for a little while. We get a little bit
- 25:53Speaker 1: of a lull early in the week until NBA and
- 25:55Speaker 1: NHL starts.
- 25:56Speaker 2: So that's gonna do it. Thanks guys.
- 26:00Speaker 1: The picks today, I'm gonna rant about it tomorrow because
- 26:02Speaker 1: I have time to do it in the morning tomorrow.
- 26:04Speaker 1: It wasn't good. It was not good, to be honest.
- 26:07Speaker 1: I mean, my picks were good, but like had so
- 26:10Speaker 1: many bullshit losers today. I almost had a losing day.
- 26:14Speaker 1: It was a winning day and it started off just
- 26:16Speaker 1: like it looked like I was gonna sweep the entire
- 26:18Speaker 1: board the way that it started off, and then everything
- 26:21Speaker 1: became bullshit, and I'm gonna I'm gonna rant about it tomorrow.
- 26:24Speaker 2: Thank you, sir. I think you guys are biased, but
- 26:27Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Thank you.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be back in the morning. You'll be a
- 26:30Speaker 1: short video this time, and that'll do it for now.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Peace, guys. Thanks
