- 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.
- 0:08Speaker 2: It was just complete bullshit.
- 0:10Speaker 1: So that's that's I'm gonna start off this show horrible
- 0:13Speaker 1: Sunday one and five.
- 0:14Speaker 2: I don't even know what to tell you about that.
- 0:17Speaker 2: I just don't want to do this anymore. I have
- 0:19Speaker 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.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Man with wookends the slump that I'm on, and the
- 0:35Speaker 1: slump continues.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I've reached a new peak.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Actually, I'm going to burn my Bruins hack Man, I
- 0:42Speaker 1: don't know what is going on with the Bruins.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Arch eight? Is that what it is? I don't even
- 0:47Speaker 2: know it's March ninth. I think who even knows?
- 0:50Speaker 1: Man, I don't know what data is anymore. But I
- 0:53Speaker 1: don't even know what data is anymore. Man, back with
- 0:55Speaker 1: you after the worst day that I can possibly have,
- 0:59Speaker 1: Back with you as I always am.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Until I die at least oh and two. Yesterday and
- 1:06Speaker 2: yesterday did not go well for me.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Own five the worst month that I've ever had in
- 1:11Speaker 1: my eighteen years.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Doing this. I don't know what to even tell you
- 1:14Speaker 2: about this anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 1: To the slump yesterdays, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Somebody fucking kill me, please. I don't even know what
- 1:24Speaker 2: I should do at this point, other than potentially end
- 1:27Speaker 2: it all.
- 1:33Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, It's towed back with you, toadstool Sports.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Whatever day it is, Wednesday, April fifteenth, We're on a
- 1:42Speaker 1: hot streak, man, it's continuing, I guess. I mean, yesterday
- 1:46Speaker 1: was good enough. We went to one and one on
- 1:49Speaker 1: the show yesterday, twenty two to eight and one run
- 1:53Speaker 1: over the last eleven days now with no losing days
- 1:56Speaker 1: in there. The only non winning day was a pass.
- 1:59Speaker 1: So we're you know, it's a grind and it's it's
- 2:03Speaker 1: working well right now. We're gonna have losing days at
- 2:06Speaker 1: some point, man, but the goal is, let's have a
- 2:09Speaker 1: winning day every single day. I'm gonna give three plays
- 2:11Speaker 1: out on the show today. They're all in baseball. NHL
- 2:15Speaker 1: is just like we're gonna pretty much yeah, we're not
- 2:18Speaker 1: gonna have another NHL play until the playoffs probably, and
- 2:21Speaker 1: then I'm skipping the two NBA play in games tonight
- 2:24Speaker 1: as well.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Garrett, what's up. Yeah, we got the cover with the Heat.
- 2:30Speaker 1: You got somewhat lucky with the win with the Hornets,
- 2:32Speaker 1: but they did win. It'll make the playoffs more interesting,
- 2:35Speaker 1: I suppose, Yes, sir, Hornets need to win one more
- 2:41Speaker 1: game to get in, though they're gonna have to beat
- 2:42Speaker 1: the winner of tonight's game. But the Hornets, dude, So
- 2:45Speaker 1: this is what I was saying yesterday. Usually the seven
- 2:49Speaker 1: to eight matchup is usually first, so that whoever wins
- 2:52Speaker 1: that game gets a rest advantage in addition to having
- 2:55Speaker 1: a home court. So like the seven seed, which I
- 2:59Speaker 1: should have mentioned yes, because we were talking about one
- 3:01Speaker 1: of those games yesterday, the Phoenix game. The seventh seed
- 3:05Speaker 1: has never missed the playoffs entirely in the ten years
- 3:09Speaker 1: that this has happened, and they've won the first game
- 3:11Speaker 1: eight times and I think they covered the spread six
- 3:14Speaker 1: of those times until now, of course. So now it's well,
- 3:19Speaker 1: we have to see what Phoenix does. That is a
- 3:23Speaker 1: good sign for Phoenix tomorrow. But yeah, you have the
- 3:25Speaker 1: rest edge you're staying at home. But that's not the
- 3:28Speaker 1: case here because the Flyers had a game last night.
- 3:30Speaker 1: So the seventy six ers, who I believe are the
- 3:34Speaker 1: seventh seed right now, they have to play tonight instead
- 3:38Speaker 1: of last night, So now the Hornets are gonna have
- 3:40Speaker 1: to have a rest advantage here, which is that never happens.
- 3:44Speaker 1: It was this weird scheduling quirk, although they will have
- 3:46Speaker 1: to go on the road, but they get an extra
- 3:48Speaker 1: day off, whereas whoever wins tonight doesn't.
- 3:52Speaker 2: So I don't know who you want to win that game.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I'm assuming you probably want Philadelphia rather than Orlando, right
- 3:59Speaker 1: because philadelp is not a complete team right now, So
- 4:03Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's what you want, but I don't know.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Maybe you don't I mean Orlando. I don't know.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna talk about that game at the end
- 4:09Speaker 1: of the show here, so let's talk about today's board man.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Most of this show is gonna be baseball. It's getaway
- 4:19Speaker 1: day for some of these teams, so we do have
- 4:20Speaker 1: some afternoon baseball because I think some of these teams
- 4:23Speaker 1: are traveling. After this, we have Arizona at Baltimore twelve
- 4:27Speaker 1: thirty five pm Eastern. These two teams are split the
- 4:30Speaker 1: first two games of the series. So usually when I
- 4:32Speaker 1: think teams are trying to win the series, they both
- 4:35Speaker 1: show up, and they're not really gonna be at risk
- 4:38Speaker 1: of looking ahead or anything like that. Like I did
- 4:40Speaker 1: look at the schedules to see who these teams are
- 4:42Speaker 1: playing next. I don't think it's really that significant, though.
- 4:45Speaker 1: I think both teams are gonna show up. Baltimore did
- 4:48Speaker 1: lose the game yesterday in a close game. Looking at
- 4:51Speaker 1: the bullpen usage from yesterday, Baltimore used four relief pitchers,
- 4:56Speaker 1: which is a decent amount to use, so did Arizona,
- 4:59Speaker 1: but the only Thompson for one pitch. However, Arizona's bullpen
- 5:03Speaker 1: I still don't think they're good. I mean, they're sitting
- 5:05Speaker 1: here at a tenth.
- 5:08Speaker 2: In overall whip, but their era is way worse.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Than all these teams around them. I don't think Arizona's
- 5:14Speaker 1: bullpen is very good. Baltimore's is ranked better anyway, and
- 5:18Speaker 1: both whip Andy Ray, so I'm gonna still give Baltimore
- 5:21Speaker 1: a bullpen edge year. There's seventh in offense as well.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Arizona. You would think that.
- 5:26Speaker 1: They're hitting should at least come around at some point,
- 5:29Speaker 1: but they've been pretty bad offensively as well, bottom third,
- 5:33Speaker 1: so Baltimore.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Does have the edges here.
- 5:35Speaker 1: I think in all of those departments, at least to
- 5:39Speaker 1: some extent. Eduardo Rodriguez is getting the start for Arizona.
- 5:43Speaker 1: He has been good so far point five YRRA and
- 5:46Speaker 1: one whip, although obviously those numbers are not sustainable.
- 5:50Speaker 2: You dive into his numbers a little bit though.
- 5:52Speaker 1: His strikeout rate is way down eleven strikeouts in eighteen innings.
- 5:56Speaker 2: That's concerning.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I know he's only allowed one run so far, but
- 6:00Speaker 1: eleven to five strike out walk ratio is not exactly
- 6:02Speaker 1: great either. He's been He's managed to be pretty unhittable
- 6:07Speaker 1: though he's allowed well below one hit per inning, so
- 6:09Speaker 1: you got to give him credit for that. And he's
- 6:11Speaker 1: done that against the Dodgers, the Braves, and the Mets,
- 6:14Speaker 1: and all three of those teams are at least capable offenses.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Even though the Mets have not had a good offense
- 6:20Speaker 1: so far this year, I think they do have a
- 6:22Speaker 1: lot of talent in that offense. E rod is not
- 6:25Speaker 1: that familiar to Baltimore. They have five hitters who've seen
- 6:28Speaker 1: him before, twenty six at bats against him, nine to
- 6:32Speaker 1: three strike out walk ratio, two thirty one batting average allowed,
- 6:35Speaker 1: seven to thirty three ops.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Those are I would say, okay.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Numbers for the most part, they're pretty good, I guess,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and he's pretty unfamiliar to them. So I don't know
- 6:45Speaker 1: that he's not gonna do well again here. I just
- 6:49Speaker 1: I don't love that his strike out rate is down,
- 6:51Speaker 1: but he might do okay in this game.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Kyle bradishes pitching for the Orioles.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Maybe people are not gonna want to do anything with
- 6:58Speaker 1: him because he does have bad numbers this year right now,
- 7:00Speaker 1: but it's a very small sample size five point two
- 7:03Speaker 1: seven ERA, one point six to eight whip. I think
- 7:06Speaker 1: he is better than that. But his walk number is terrible,
- 7:09Speaker 1: like that's been his problem. He has well over one
- 7:11Speaker 1: strike up per inning, which is good. He's allowed too
- 7:15Speaker 1: many hits sort of, but the walks are really the
- 7:17Speaker 1: main concern with them.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Three walks in every outing so far. You can't do that, man.
- 7:22Speaker 1: He needs to get that under control, though. I think
- 7:24Speaker 1: he can because if you look at his career numbers,
- 7:26Speaker 1: they're much much better than this, So I expect him
- 7:29Speaker 1: to do at some point start doing better than this.
- 7:33Speaker 1: He does have good numbers against Arizona, only in seventeen
- 7:36Speaker 1: at bats. They don't have that much experience against him
- 7:38Speaker 1: two thirty five average, allowed six to ten ops, eight
- 7:42Speaker 1: to two strike up walk ratio.
- 7:45Speaker 2: This game.
- 7:45Speaker 1: It's very difficult to gauge too, because I can see
- 7:47Speaker 1: arguments for both pitchers doing well here, I can see
- 7:50Speaker 1: arguments for both pitchers not doing well here. Baltimore is
- 7:54Speaker 1: getting the money fifty five percent of ticket seventy eight
- 7:56Speaker 1: percent of the cash on them, They've moved up, moved
- 7:59Speaker 1: up to minus one fifty on the money line. I suppose,
- 8:04Speaker 1: all things considered, I probably don't disagree with Baltimore. I
- 8:07Speaker 1: think they probably do have at least a slight edge
- 8:10Speaker 1: in most ways here. I think probably I think Bradish
- 8:13Speaker 1: is better than Erot as well at this stage in
- 8:16Speaker 1: their careers, because e Rot is I think he's coming
- 8:18Speaker 1: back from you know, Tommy John surgery that he had
- 8:21Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and he's been kind of
- 8:23Speaker 1: shaky since then if I remember correctly.
- 8:26Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I'll agree with Baltimore.
- 8:29Speaker 1: I don't have a good opinion on this game, though,
- 8:32Speaker 1: But that is what the money is saying. Money is
- 8:34Speaker 1: also kind of indicating towards the under for what that's worth.
- 8:37Speaker 2: I don't know if I would want to touch the total, though.
- 8:39Speaker 1: I mean I'm giving out exactly what I think are
- 8:42Speaker 1: the best players obviously, as I always do. Next up
- 8:45Speaker 1: in the afternoon Cleveland and Saint Louis. These teams have
- 8:48Speaker 1: also split, with Cleveland winning the first game Saint Louis
- 8:52Speaker 1: winning yesterday by one. To me, it seems like both
- 8:56Speaker 1: teams will show up here. I do think Cleveland is
- 8:58Speaker 1: the better team. Saint Louis used five relief pitchers yesterday,
- 9:02Speaker 1: pretty heavy usage from their bullpen, which I don't even
- 9:05Speaker 1: think is a good bullpen. Cleveland used four relief pitchers.
- 9:09Speaker 1: They only used heron for two pitches, though, so I
- 9:11Speaker 1: think Cleveland has the better bullpen and the more rested
- 9:14Speaker 1: bullpen here.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Cleveland, their bullpen has been a little bit.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Shaky so far, but they're still ranked sixteenth than Whips,
- 9:20Speaker 1: so they're like middle of the pack. Saint Louis is
- 9:23Speaker 1: worse than that twenty second. They're also worse in era.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Saint Louis mediocre offense so far. I don't think their
- 9:31Speaker 1: offense is particularly good. Cleveland's has been a little bit better,
- 9:34Speaker 1: although they're both middle of the pack.
- 9:35Speaker 2: I don't think either offense is terrific, but I do think.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Cleveland's is probably slightly better starting pitching. Slay Chacone is
- 9:43Speaker 1: pitching for Cleveland. His five point seven to four ERA
- 9:46Speaker 1: looks pretty bad. One point two to one whip is
- 9:49Speaker 1: definitely more palatable than that.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Though he's been okay. He has a fourteen to five
- 9:54Speaker 2: strikeout walk ratio.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I mean, that's not great, and he hasn't gone that
- 9:58Speaker 1: deep into these games. It looks like they're I kind
- 10:00Speaker 1: of keeping him on about a ninety pitch count in
- 10:03Speaker 1: these starts. But I think he's been okay. He's still
- 10:07Speaker 1: pretty young. I mean, I think he has some talent there.
- 10:10Speaker 1: His numbers are really bad against Saint Louis, but it's
- 10:12Speaker 1: a very small fifteen at bat sample size four hundred
- 10:16Speaker 1: batting average allowed those nine to seventy one ops three
- 10:19Speaker 1: one strike at walk ratio.
- 10:22Speaker 2: You know, even if I think maybe Chaconi.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Is the better of these two starters here, I don't
- 10:26Speaker 1: like seeing matchup numbers like that. Usually I'm gonna at
- 10:30Speaker 1: least probably avoid that pitcher. But Dustin May probably a
- 10:33Speaker 1: guy I'm looking to fade though. I mean, he is
- 10:36Speaker 1: coming off a good start against the Red Sox. Because
- 10:38Speaker 1: the Red Sox haven't been able to do anything on offense,
- 10:41Speaker 1: and his numbers are still horrendous nine point four or
- 10:44Speaker 1: five ERA one point eight whip Dustin May from Justin
- 10:48Speaker 1: Texas is another guy who he hasn't been good since
- 10:52Speaker 1: is Tommy John surgery, and it has been years since
- 10:56Speaker 1: then and he hasn't been good. Now you might say, well,
- 10:58Speaker 1: he's in because he just had a really good start
- 11:01Speaker 1: against the Red Sox. Maybe that was more of a fluke, though,
- 11:05Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think he's very good. He's allowed
- 11:08Speaker 1: twenty one hits in thirteen to third inning, so he's
- 11:10Speaker 1: been way too hittable. Even though in eleven to three
- 11:13Speaker 1: strike up walk ratio is not bad. Against Cleveland, he
- 11:16Speaker 1: does not have good numbers. Pretty small sample size with them.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Most of their hitters have seen him before. Twenty two
- 11:23Speaker 1: at bats, eight to three, strike out walk ratio three
- 11:26Speaker 1: eighteen batting average allowed in nine to ninety one.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Ohps, that's not good.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Uh So this game, I'm almost tempted to say over
- 11:39Speaker 1: makes sense.
- 11:39Speaker 2: In this game, the total sitting at eight and a half.
- 11:41Speaker 2: It has gone up a little bit, but we've seen
- 11:43Speaker 2: ninety one percent of tickets and only sixty nine percent
- 11:45Speaker 2: of the cash on the over.
- 11:47Speaker 1: But you're looking at two bullpens that have kind of
- 11:49Speaker 1: struggled a little bit. I don't really trust either of
- 11:52Speaker 1: these starters. The matchup numbers don't look that good. Eight
- 11:55Speaker 1: and a half is a reasonable total for this game,
- 11:59Speaker 1: I'm kind of thinking over and then the money is
- 12:01Speaker 1: coming in towards Saint Louis, which kind of surprises me.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Sixty seven percent of tickets and only fifty five percent
- 12:07Speaker 1: of the cash on a public road Cleveland team here.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Whenever I see market percentages like that, I do not
- 12:14Speaker 1: want to be on that team. That would indicate that
- 12:17Speaker 1: Saint Louis would be the side to be looking at here.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Can we really trust Dustin May? Though, I'm not so
- 12:22Speaker 1: sure about that. I mean, of course, of course, it
- 12:25Speaker 1: would make sense that the Red Sox, you know, they
- 12:28Speaker 1: make this horrible trade for him. The guy that they
- 12:31Speaker 1: traded for him is raking in triple A right now
- 12:34Speaker 1: for the Dodgers TIBs. It would only make sense that
- 12:37Speaker 1: would happen, and then that Dustin May, as soon as
- 12:39Speaker 1: he's gone from the Red Sox after that failed experiment,
- 12:43Speaker 1: that he'd actually be good or something that that's of
- 12:45Speaker 1: course that would make sense.
- 12:47Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen. Maybe it does.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Money is saying Saint Louis here, but I think I
- 12:52Speaker 1: prefer the over, even though it's against the market. Read there,
- 12:57Speaker 1: Red Sox in Minnesota. I'm gonna have a play on
- 12:59Speaker 1: this game. Oh man, I think we have to do it.
- 13:06Speaker 1: I know there's all this turmoil here, but I think
- 13:09Speaker 1: they have the starting pitching advantage here. I think they're
- 13:13Speaker 1: the better team. They're the road favorite for a reason.
- 13:16Speaker 1: They're trying to avoid a sweep. We're gonna take the
- 13:18Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox my Red Sox money line minus one thirty.
- 13:25Speaker 1: We gotta get something out of this Red Sox team, man,
- 13:27Speaker 1: I mean, I think the public.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Is gonna be completely off of them. This has been
- 13:31Speaker 2: a massively embarrassing series.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I mean, you get your ace completely lit up in
- 13:36Speaker 1: the first game and you can't win that game. Then
- 13:38Speaker 1: you score no runs in the next game last night
- 13:41Speaker 1: against a struggling young pitcher and Mick Abel. I don't
- 13:45Speaker 1: know what is going on here. The Red Sox have
- 13:47Speaker 1: been outscored nineteen to six in this series. You gotta
- 13:50Speaker 1: expect an effort out of them. And I know there's
- 13:52Speaker 1: all the chatter out there, a lot of the Red
- 13:55Speaker 1: Sox fans are mad at Jared Durant again, but you
- 13:58Speaker 1: know they're only.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Mad because he said the f slur away back in
- 14:02Speaker 2: the day. Whenever that was two years ago.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Now at this point, you know that everybody's just looking
- 14:07Speaker 1: for a reason of hate on this guy.
- 14:09Speaker 2: I love Jared Duran. I relate to him, you know, as.
- 14:14Speaker 1: A fellow suicidal man here, dude, I mean, he opened
- 14:19Speaker 1: up about that in the documentary, and then opposing crowds
- 14:23Speaker 1: are just like telling him to kill himself.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Basically, you can't do that. And then what did he
- 14:27Speaker 2: What did he do last night? He flipped off a guy.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Oh no, that's the end of the world. How how horrible.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Of him for doing that When people are telling, you know,
- 14:35Speaker 1: a man who tried to kill himself that he should
- 14:37Speaker 1: have that he should have completed the job. You can't
- 14:40Speaker 1: say that to him. The Red Sox fans are being
- 14:43Speaker 1: horrible about it. I'm sick of this fan based dude.
- 14:46Speaker 1: It's a much of him woke bullshit.
- 14:49Speaker 2: I like Duran.
- 14:50Speaker 1: I don't know what the Red Sox lineup is gonna
- 14:52Speaker 1: look like here but I'm gonna ignore all of that.
- 14:56Speaker 2: I think that's noise.
- 14:57Speaker 1: The Red Sox are better than you think they are
- 14:59Speaker 1: right now, even so, I know their fundamentals are terrible.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I think they need to completely change the entire coaching staff.
- 15:06Speaker 1: But I think they're gonna get this game. I think
- 15:08Speaker 1: they have the advantage in most areas of this game. Again, motivation,
- 15:14Speaker 1: you gotta be looking to avoid the sweep here.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Minnesota is not this good.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I mean, this is a team it's sort of almost
- 15:19Speaker 1: in rebuilding mode, even though they kept Joe Ryan. I
- 15:23Speaker 1: do not think Minnesota is gonna be where they are
- 15:26Speaker 1: in the standings right now by the end of the season.
- 15:28Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox will be better than what
- 15:30Speaker 1: they look like right now. The oddsmakers, like I said,
- 15:33Speaker 1: they've lined the Red Sox as a favorite in every
- 15:35Speaker 1: game the series.
- 15:36Speaker 2: There's a reason for that.
- 15:37Speaker 1: The Red Sox, by the way, they have the fifth
- 15:39Speaker 1: best bullpen based on whips, so quietly, their bullpen has
- 15:43Speaker 1: been really good and that is not the case with
- 15:46Speaker 1: the Twins, who have the second worst bullpen. Twins bullpen
- 15:50Speaker 1: is atrocious. Red Sox have the bullpen edge. I think
- 15:53Speaker 1: there's no argument there the Red Sox only as two
- 15:55Speaker 1: relief pitchers yesterday as well. Granted, yes they use Chapman,
- 16:00Speaker 1: although he hadn't pitched for days, and there's a chance
- 16:03Speaker 1: they use them again here. Hopefully they don't even need
- 16:06Speaker 1: to though, that's what we're We're hoping they have enough
- 16:08Speaker 1: of a lead that they don't even need to use them.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Minnesota did only use two relief pitchers as well, but
- 16:13Speaker 1: they have a really bad bullpen. Offensively, yes, Minnesota has
- 16:18Speaker 1: been hitting well. I'm looking at their offense. They are
- 16:22Speaker 1: fifth in offense right now. I still just don't see it, man,
- 16:25Speaker 1: I don't This offense is not this talented. I expect
- 16:29Speaker 1: that there's gonna be a regression there. The Red Sox,
- 16:32Speaker 1: I expect, will be better offensively at some point. They're
- 16:35Speaker 1: sitting right now at twenty third. But you look at
- 16:38Speaker 1: the hitters that these teams have, the Red Sox, it's
- 16:41Speaker 1: pretty easy to argue the Red Sox have the better lineup.
- 16:44Speaker 1: They're just not, you know, in better form to start
- 16:47Speaker 1: the season. But obviously we're looking at the starting pitching.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Matchup is a big part of this as well. Connolly
- 16:52Speaker 1: Early is pitching for the Red Sox. Talented young pitcher.
- 16:56Speaker 1: I know his whip is really bad though one point
- 16:58Speaker 1: five to four. Still, I think we could trust him
- 17:02Speaker 1: in this matchup. Two point six y three era is
- 17:04Speaker 1: pretty good. I know his whip indicates his era should
- 17:07Speaker 1: be a lot worse.
- 17:08Speaker 2: He needs to get these.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Walks under wraps man. That's the problem. Everything else looks good.
- 17:13Speaker 1: He has more than one strike up per inning, fewer
- 17:15Speaker 1: than one hittle out per inning.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Eight walks is the problem.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Fifteen to eight strike out walk raso in thirteen to
- 17:21Speaker 1: two thirds. He needs to get that under control. He
- 17:24Speaker 1: hasn't really quite gone deep enough into these starts. But
- 17:27Speaker 1: like I said, we are. I think we're able to
- 17:29Speaker 1: roll with the Red Sox bullpen as part of this
- 17:31Speaker 1: handicap as well here, So hopefully we get at least
- 17:35Speaker 1: like five innings out of early here.
- 17:37Speaker 2: I think that is manageable.
- 17:39Speaker 1: I think we could do that, And I think he
- 17:40Speaker 1: has an advantage because he's facing a bunch of hitters
- 17:44Speaker 1: who've never seen him before. Only Tristan Gray has ever
- 17:47Speaker 1: faced him. Zero for two with the strikeouts so early,
- 17:50Speaker 1: has the unfamiliarity edge on his side. He pitched a
- 17:54Speaker 1: little bit better in his last outing by the way,
- 17:56Speaker 1: I know he threw too many pitches. They pulled him
- 17:58Speaker 1: before he was done with five innings, but he allowed
- 18:00Speaker 1: one earned run to Saint Louis in a road start,
- 18:03Speaker 1: two walks. I mean, that was an improvement over his
- 18:06Speaker 1: previous starts, so I think he'll do okay in this
- 18:09Speaker 1: game at the very least.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Again, he is definitely a really talented young.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Pitchers, is why the Red Sox are trusting him to
- 18:16Speaker 1: be in the starting rotation here this year. He's going
- 18:18Speaker 1: up against Simeon Woods Richardson, who was more familiar to
- 18:21Speaker 1: the opposing hitters here. He's a he's fine. I mean,
- 18:26Speaker 1: he's an okay pitcher. Four point six ERA, one point
- 18:29Speaker 1: two eight whip okay numbers, nothing mind blowing here. He
- 18:33Speaker 1: doesn't really go that deep into games a lot of
- 18:35Speaker 1: times either, and he doesn't strike out a lot of guys.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Eight strikeouts and fifteen to two thirds innings a little
- 18:40Speaker 1: bit too hittable with more than one hit per inning.
- 18:44Speaker 1: He's allowed three on the runs so far, which isn't
- 18:46Speaker 1: that great, and four walks wouldn't be that bad except
- 18:49Speaker 1: the strikeout walk ratio is not particularly good, So I
- 18:52Speaker 1: don't know Richardson's is not a guy that comes in
- 18:54Speaker 1: and really lights it up and blows guys away. And
- 18:58Speaker 1: against the Red Sox, his numbers and not that good.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Only twenty two at bats but six to three strikeout
- 19:03Speaker 1: walk ratio three eighteen batting average allowed, seven sixty four ohps.
- 19:08Speaker 1: So the Red Sox have done successfully against him. I
- 19:12Speaker 1: think we're gonna do it, man, We're gonna take the
- 19:15Speaker 1: Red Sox. Here.
- 19:15Speaker 2: The money is agreeing with this.
- 19:17Speaker 1: They're at minus one twenty five right now, so you
- 19:19Speaker 1: might be able to find a better number on this.
- 19:21Speaker 2: It looks like the money agrees with me.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Tickets fifty to fifty seventy percent of the cash on
- 19:26Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Hopefully it does not change by the
- 19:28Speaker 1: time this game happens, but we will roll with the
- 19:32Speaker 1: Red Sox in that game money line. Hopefully this is
- 19:36Speaker 1: the bounceback spot for them, man Cubs in Philadelphia. This
- 19:40Speaker 1: is a good matchup, which is why it's on ESPN Unlimited,
- 19:44Speaker 1: MLB Unlimited whatever the hell, So if you have the
- 19:46Speaker 1: Disney Plus Bundle, whatever, you can watch this one.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Whatever the hell it is, I guess it is ESPN
- 19:52Speaker 2: Unlimited an MLBtv.
- 19:54Speaker 1: This is a good series. The teams have split the
- 19:56Speaker 1: series so far. Some of these series, by the way.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Are continuing to this is not one of them.
- 20:02Speaker 1: But either way, they've split the first two so I
- 20:06Speaker 1: think both teams are gonna show up. It's a big
- 20:08Speaker 1: matchup between two potential playoff teams here. Looking at the bullpens,
- 20:13Speaker 1: Philadelphia's bullpen has started to struggle. They were hot for
- 20:16Speaker 1: a while, but now they're middle of the pack. Chicago
- 20:19Speaker 1: the Cubs. They're bullpens kind of middle of the pack
- 20:22Speaker 1: right now as well. Looking at who they have and
- 20:25Speaker 1: based on last year and whatever, I think the Cubs
- 20:28Speaker 1: actually do have a slightly better bullpen here than Philadelphia does. Offensively,
- 20:33Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia is better than what they've done so far.
- 20:35Speaker 1: They're middle of the pack offensively. Cubs have struggled offensively,
- 20:39Speaker 1: though where are they at. They've actually moved up a
- 20:42Speaker 1: little bit. They had been struggling. Both these teams that
- 20:44Speaker 1: they have better offenses than what they've looked like so
- 20:47Speaker 1: far this year, but they're both in the middle of
- 20:49Speaker 1: the pack right now. I think the offenses are a
- 20:51Speaker 1: little bit of a wash here. I might give the
- 20:53Speaker 1: slight edge to Philadelphia there. The Cubs four relief pitchers
- 20:58Speaker 1: used yesterday. Philadelphia did use four as well, so a
- 21:02Speaker 1: little bit of heavy bullpen you sage yesterday. Starting pitching
- 21:06Speaker 1: is an interesting matchup. Showed to Emonaga's pitching for the Cubs.
- 21:11Speaker 1: He's having another good season so far two point eight
- 21:14Speaker 1: one ERA, point eight one whip. He's coming off a
- 21:17Speaker 1: six inning no hit performance against Pittsburgh. They took him
- 21:20Speaker 1: out at one hundred pitches. I understand they don't want
- 21:23Speaker 1: to overwork him, but man, you'd like to see no
- 21:25Speaker 1: hitters again. Man, go back to the old days. And
- 21:29Speaker 1: they wound up losing that game. The bullpen couldn't hold
- 21:32Speaker 1: the game and the offense did nothing behind him. Isn't
- 21:34Speaker 1: that just great? But Imanaga is in good for him
- 21:37Speaker 1: right now. His last two starts have been really good.
- 21:39Speaker 1: He's got way over one strike up per inning, way
- 21:42Speaker 1: below one hit per inning, allowed twenty to four strikeout
- 21:46Speaker 1: walk ratio.
- 21:46Speaker 2: We know he's good against.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Philadelphia though he has not done that well small sample
- 21:52Speaker 1: size eighteen of bats, but they do have a couple
- 21:54Speaker 1: of homers off him between bomb bomb hit a bomb
- 21:57Speaker 1: off him and mars Sean, Who the hell is that?
- 22:01Speaker 1: Brad Brad Marshan is this hockey what Raphael marshawn?
- 22:06Speaker 2: I don't know who that is?
- 22:07Speaker 1: Uh, five to one start a walk ratio for Emanaga
- 22:10Speaker 1: against them though, three point thirty three batting average allowed,
- 22:13Speaker 1: one thousand and ninety one ops.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Those numbers are.
- 22:17Speaker 1: Not exactly trustworthy. But I do trust i Monaga overall, though.
- 22:21Speaker 1: I think it's a difficult lineup to face in a
- 22:24Speaker 1: difficult environment. But I think he does obviously have the
- 22:26Speaker 1: ability to put together a good start here though, So
- 22:30Speaker 1: you know, I'm expecting maybe his start will be somewhere
- 22:34Speaker 1: in the in the middle, like it won't be amazing,
- 22:37Speaker 1: but it won't be terrible. That would be my guess.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Jesus Luzardo is pitching for the Phillies. He is an
- 22:43Speaker 1: interesting case man. His era is sky high right now,
- 22:46Speaker 1: six point two to three, but his whip is pretty
- 22:48Speaker 1: good at one point one five. So what the hell
- 22:50Speaker 1: is going on here? Well, what's going on is he's
- 22:54Speaker 1: getting hit too hard. He's allowed multiple home runs so far.
- 22:58Speaker 2: He's getting a.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Little bit unlucky, though, you would have to say looking
- 23:01Speaker 1: at his outing so far, he's a lot a bunch
- 23:03Speaker 1: of runs. But it's like almost everybody he puts on
- 23:05Speaker 1: basis scoring. He's allowed fewer than one hit per inning.
- 23:09Speaker 1: He has well over one strike upper and great strikeout
- 23:12Speaker 1: stuff so far twenty six strikeouts, is seventeen to third.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Only four walks.
- 23:17Speaker 1: All these numbers look good, so like the underlying numbers
- 23:20Speaker 1: do look good. I would say he's better than his
- 23:22Speaker 1: era looks right now. But knowing Luzardo, he goes on
- 23:26Speaker 1: these streaks where he has like this elite strikeout stuff
- 23:29Speaker 1: for a while, and then he also has performances where
- 23:31Speaker 1: he just gets absolutely rocked, like he just gets hit hard.
- 23:36Speaker 2: I don't know what the deal is.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Last year it seemed like there was something to do
- 23:39Speaker 1: with like maybe he was tipping his pitches so like
- 23:42Speaker 1: hitters knew what was coming, they were able to he
- 23:44Speaker 1: had like a tell on the mound.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Maybe that's happening again to some extent here. I don't know.
- 23:49Speaker 1: It makes him very difficult to handicap. His numbers are
- 23:52Speaker 1: really good against the Cobs, though eighty five at bats
- 23:54Speaker 1: one eighty eight batting average allowed, six point thirty two
- 23:57Speaker 1: one BS isn't quite as good, and again the walks
- 24:00Speaker 1: actually are the problem here. Not again because I didn't
- 24:03Speaker 1: mention the walks yet, but a lot of times walks
- 24:05Speaker 1: are the issue with him. He has twenty seven strikeouts
- 24:07Speaker 1: fourteen walks against the Cubs, but Swanson and Hap have
- 24:12Speaker 1: combined for eleven of those walks, so it's almost like
- 24:15Speaker 1: he's kind of pitching around a couple of those guys there.
- 24:19Speaker 1: That's the lowdown there, Very very difficult to handicap lozarda
- 24:22Speaker 1: though looking at the market read on this game, the
- 24:25Speaker 1: money is coming in on the Cobs. Philadelphia moved up
- 24:29Speaker 1: from minus one twenty two to minus one thirty two
- 24:31Speaker 1: on the money line, but sixty five percent of the
- 24:33Speaker 1: tickets on them fifty two percent of the cash on
- 24:35Speaker 1: the Cubs. I would say, generally, I agree Imanaga is
- 24:39Speaker 1: the better pitcher than Lozardo. I think he's definitely more
- 24:42Speaker 1: consistent at the very least. That might be part of
- 24:45Speaker 1: the reason why the money's coming in this way. Public
- 24:48Speaker 1: likes the team that appears to be the better offense,
- 24:50Speaker 1: which is Philadelphia. But you know, the matchup numbers don't
- 24:55Speaker 1: make it look that great for Imanaga. Lozardo does have
- 24:58Speaker 1: the better matchup numbers here, very very difficult game to handicap.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Man it's it's not a game I want anything to
- 25:04Speaker 1: do with the money is saying the Cobs. I don't
- 25:06Speaker 1: have that strong of an opinion against it. Really, you
- 25:10Speaker 1: don't want to weigh the matchup numbers too heavily here,
- 25:13Speaker 1: So we're staying off of the game Kansas City and Detroit.
- 25:18Speaker 2: We're in the evening games now.
- 25:19Speaker 1: By the way, that one that I just talked about
- 25:21Speaker 1: was an evening game, So is this one we gotta
- 25:23Speaker 1: win with Kansas City and Detroit. I forgot to talk
- 25:25Speaker 1: about that one in my oh, I forgot to talk
- 25:27Speaker 1: about all the what happened yesterday.
- 25:30Speaker 2: My apologies, guys.
- 25:32Speaker 1: We'll do it now. Yesterday we went two one and one.
- 25:35Speaker 1: This was one of the winners. We had the under
- 25:37Speaker 1: in Kansas City and Detroit. I was just hoping, just like,
- 25:40Speaker 1: don't go into extra innings, man, and wound up being
- 25:43Speaker 1: a two to one Detroit win, I think. But yeah,
- 25:46Speaker 1: I was like, we easily got the under in that game.
- 25:49Speaker 1: But at that point, it's like you're just praying that
- 25:51Speaker 1: you don't have to deal with ghost runners. Although I
- 25:53Speaker 1: think we still would have hit the under, the White
- 25:56Speaker 1: Sox just kind of destroyed themselves right away. They had
- 25:59Speaker 1: a horrible error almost immediately in the game, and it
- 26:03Speaker 1: ruined Noah Schultz's debut. I mean, maybe we shouldn't trust
- 26:07Speaker 1: the pitchers in their debut that much. But I was
- 26:10Speaker 1: right about McClanahan not being that good in that game,
- 26:12Speaker 1: though he struggled in that game. It's just that Schultz
- 26:16Speaker 1: kind of got hurt right away with that horrible error.
- 26:18Speaker 1: There was one point where Tampa Bay had three runs
- 26:21Speaker 1: on one hit.
- 26:22Speaker 2: I mean, it's just ridiculous.
- 26:24Speaker 1: So that just it really hurt his outing right away,
- 26:27Speaker 1: even though he wasn't that great and neither starting pitcher was.
- 26:30Speaker 1: And you know, the White Sox were actually in that
- 26:32Speaker 1: game even after that err They came back and they
- 26:34Speaker 1: were in the game for a bit, but they fell short.
- 26:37Speaker 1: They put up a couple of runs late, but it
- 26:39Speaker 1: was not enough. So unfortunately, that one lost. Colorado was
- 26:44Speaker 1: a push for us. With the way that I did it.
- 26:45Speaker 1: If you went all plus one and a half run line,
- 26:48Speaker 1: you actually got a full win on that, or they
- 26:50Speaker 1: had to lay a little bit more at minus one
- 26:52Speaker 1: thirty or so on that Colorado looked like they were
- 26:55Speaker 1: off to the races. They were winning that game. That
- 26:57Speaker 1: game three to nothing. Then they got lit up, and
- 27:00Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they were losing seven to three.
- 27:03Speaker 1: They were able to come back and make it a
- 27:05Speaker 1: seven to six loss. So the way that I recommended
- 27:08Speaker 1: playing it with a split bet wound up being a push.
- 27:11Speaker 1: So that was fine, and then the Miami Heat covered
- 27:13Speaker 1: for us. As I was alluding to Garrett talking about
- 27:17Speaker 1: your hornets there, Garrett and I can both be happy,
- 27:21Speaker 1: I guess, because the Miami Heat covered. Although I was
- 27:24Speaker 1: thinking we were gonna get a money line cash on that,
- 27:26Speaker 1: because you know, I recommend whenever you bet an underdog,
- 27:29Speaker 1: especially in that spread range, like a single digit spread,
- 27:34Speaker 1: I'm saying you gotta put like ten percent of that
- 27:36Speaker 1: bet on the money line. So that money line sprinkle
- 27:39Speaker 1: did not hit, and it looked like it was pretty
- 27:41Speaker 1: good most of the game. Miami led most of the game.
- 27:45Speaker 1: They had a big like not a big lead, but
- 27:47Speaker 1: a decent lead multiple times late in the game and
- 27:50Speaker 1: kept blowing it and then it went into overtime, and
- 27:52Speaker 1: at that point I'm thinking, like, please don't blow it
- 27:54Speaker 1: in overtime. When you have a dog that goes to overtime,
- 27:58Speaker 1: especially a dog of that size like you had the
- 28:00Speaker 1: right side, like, don't lose the bet now. But luckily
- 28:03Speaker 1: Miami was able to keep it close. They lost by one,
- 28:07Speaker 1: so we'll take that all of the Miami has now eliminated.
- 28:11Speaker 1: And by the way, one thing I forgot to mention
- 28:14Speaker 1: it was kind of part of that handicap. I mean,
- 28:16Speaker 1: I mentioned that Miami had a lot of experience in
- 28:19Speaker 1: the play ins and whatever. I think Miami is the
- 28:21Speaker 1: only team to ever make the playoffs as a ten seed.
- 28:25Speaker 1: In the play in they've done that before. As a
- 28:27Speaker 1: ten seed. They won two straight road games to get
- 28:30Speaker 1: into the playoffs. I don't remember which year that was.
- 28:33Speaker 1: I think it was one of those like messed up
- 28:35Speaker 1: COVID years. I think it was one of those years
- 28:37Speaker 1: that Miami made this crazy run. That one was when
- 28:41Speaker 1: they were like an eight seed in the playoffs. I
- 28:43Speaker 1: think they might have made the finals.
- 28:45Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 28:47Speaker 1: I might be confusing that with the other year where
- 28:49Speaker 1: I think there were seven seed and they beat or
- 28:52Speaker 1: maybe that was no, maybe it was that same year
- 28:53Speaker 1: where they were the eight seed they beat the Celtics horrible, horrible, and.
- 28:57Speaker 2: The Celtics I think lost. I don't know.
- 29:00Speaker 1: I think there was some injury the Celtics had to
- 29:02Speaker 1: deal with in the last game of that series. I
- 29:04Speaker 1: think Jason Tatum probably usually it's him.
- 29:08Speaker 2: I don't know that was. Yeah, I think that might
- 29:10Speaker 2: have been that same year.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Actually, Celtics clearly should have made the finals that year, and.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Maybe they would have had a shot to win.
- 29:17Speaker 1: But I believe that year, I think it was heat Nuggets,
- 29:20Speaker 1: I want to say, and the Nuggets just absolutely took
- 29:24Speaker 1: them out in the final. I think it was a
- 29:25Speaker 1: sweep if I remember correctly. Maybe I'm misremembering that. You
- 29:29Speaker 1: guys can remind me. But now I'm off on a
- 29:31Speaker 1: crazy tangent when I'm trying to talk about baseball. Kyle,
- 29:35Speaker 1: what's up? Thanks for hanging out. Yeah, yes, sir, we're
- 29:40Speaker 1: doing pretty well. You know, it's a bit of a grind.
- 29:43Speaker 1: I don't want to see this lost record hit double digits,
- 29:46Speaker 1: but you know what's gonna happen. It might happen today,
- 29:49Speaker 1: which wouldn't be great because that would mean we have
- 29:52Speaker 1: a losing day. But you know it's gonna happen again
- 29:55Speaker 1: at some point. Hopefully it doesn't happen here. But yes, anyway,
- 30:00Speaker 1: I was just very late. Usually do it in the intro.
- 30:03Speaker 1: But I was just running down all the plays yesterday
- 30:07Speaker 1: and I will say I'll talk about it more tomorrow.
- 30:10Speaker 1: But Phoenix blowing that game was unbelievable. Phoenix had like
- 30:14Speaker 1: a what were they up? They were up eleven or
- 30:16Speaker 1: thirteen with like four minutes left. They were still up
- 30:19Speaker 1: I think eight or maybe nine with like maybe two
- 30:24Speaker 1: or three minutes left, and they lost the game.
- 30:26Speaker 2: That was insane. I don't know what that was.
- 30:29Speaker 1: They had multiple key free throw misses at the end
- 30:32Speaker 1: of that game. They just went completely silent offensively. I'm
- 30:37Speaker 1: not a fan of the Portland Trailblazers, man, I'm not.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's maybe it's because of all the Zionism
- 30:43Speaker 1: going on there with their Israeli star player there, if
- 30:47Speaker 1: you want to call them that, actually, whoa, I can't
- 30:51Speaker 1: call them a star player. Oh god, I'm gonna I'm
- 30:53Speaker 1: gonna get this channel new.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Oh my god with Av g Ovg.
- 31:00Speaker 1: I don't know how you pronounced his name, whatever that
- 31:02Speaker 1: guy's name is. He did have a good game last night,
- 31:04Speaker 1: a really good game. But yeah, that I did not
- 31:09Speaker 1: think Phoenix was gonna lose that game obviously, all right,
- 31:12Speaker 1: even though they had had to make a comeback in
- 31:14Speaker 1: the middle of the game, but they had the game
- 31:16Speaker 1: pretty much put away. I don't know what that was. Anyway,
- 31:18Speaker 1: Let's get back to this Kansas City and Detroit. Detroit
- 31:23Speaker 1: did win yesterday. This series is gonna be one that
- 31:25Speaker 1: continues tomorrow. Yesterday was the first game of the series,
- 31:29Speaker 1: and like I said, we got the under Kansas City
- 31:31Speaker 1: only used two relief pitchers as well. Detroit probably had
- 31:34Speaker 1: to use like their closer in the game. Yeah, they
- 31:37Speaker 1: used Jansen as their closer now former Boston Red Sox.
- 31:40Speaker 1: I believe he's still doing his thing out there. Detroit
- 31:43Speaker 1: did use him, but they only used two relief pitchers yesterday.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Both of these bullpens I think are at least okay
- 31:50Speaker 1: Kansas City's though, I mean Kansas City's off to a
- 31:54Speaker 1: bad start. Though I don't know, man, I still don't
- 31:56Speaker 1: think their bullpen is this bad though based on last year, though,
- 32:00Speaker 1: they're a bottom several bullpen right now. I'm not sure
- 32:02Speaker 1: if I see that continuing. Detroit's has been mid tier
- 32:06Speaker 1: but not bad as far as the offenses. So Detroit
- 32:11Speaker 1: does have the better of the two bullpens. If we're
- 32:13Speaker 1: looking at what they've done on the season. So far,
- 32:15Speaker 1: Detroit's been middle of the pack offensive wieldough I think
- 32:18Speaker 1: they're clearly the better offense here. Kansas City's bottom four.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Which yeah, I mean last year Kansas City couldn't hit well.
- 32:26Speaker 1: I think that might be the case this year too.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Seth Lugo is pitching for Kansas City. He's been good,
- 32:33Speaker 1: you know, I mean, damn the advanced analytics guys. I
- 32:35Speaker 1: guess he's getting up there in age, still putting up
- 32:38Speaker 1: pretty good numbers one point five to three ERA, one
- 32:41Speaker 1: point eight whip. Obviously, he's not going to continue being
- 32:44Speaker 1: this good, and he is regressing a little bit with
- 32:47Speaker 1: four walks in his last downing. That is a concern
- 32:49Speaker 1: overall now fourteen to six strikeout walk ratio, but he's
- 32:53Speaker 1: a lot fewer than one hit per inning. I know
- 32:55Speaker 1: it's too many walks. But he's still been pretty good
- 32:59Speaker 1: so far this year, and I expect him to at
- 33:01Speaker 1: least be decent.
- 33:02Speaker 2: Again this year.
- 33:03Speaker 1: But this particular matchup maybe does not benefit him. His
- 33:08Speaker 1: numbers against Detroit, they've seen a ton of them, one
- 33:10Speaker 1: hundred and sixty at bats, thirty nine to eighteen strike
- 33:13Speaker 1: out walk ratio is not good. To eighty seven batting
- 33:15Speaker 1: average eight forty one ops allowed. Those numbers are not
- 33:18Speaker 1: particularly good at all. So he does not do well
- 33:21Speaker 1: against Detroit specifically. Really, he is going up against Jack Flaherty,
- 33:26Speaker 1: who is not having a good season. Five point one
- 33:28Speaker 1: four ERA one point six to four whip. They need
- 33:31Speaker 1: to get a new video for him here on ESPN.
- 33:33Speaker 1: This is from years ago. I mean, all right, yeah,
- 33:36Speaker 1: you get cute story talking about his adoptive mother or whatever.
- 33:40Speaker 2: But dude, like, I don't know this video.
- 33:43Speaker 1: It just bugs me whenever I see the thumbnail of it, like,
- 33:46Speaker 1: let's change this shit.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Anyway. Yes, he's not pitching well.
- 33:52Speaker 1: Five point one four ERA one point sixty four whip,
- 33:55Speaker 1: fourteen to eleven strike out walk Racier this season. That
- 33:58Speaker 1: is pretty bad. He's walked three or more in every outing.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Oh but he's improving.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Man.
- 34:03Speaker 1: He finally went more than five innings last outing. I
- 34:05Speaker 1: guess this Twins team, it's been hitting everybody and he
- 34:09Speaker 1: only walked three guys in that outing, which was an
- 34:12Speaker 1: improvement for him. Yeah, but dude, he's just issuing way
- 34:16Speaker 1: too many free passes. I can't I can't jump on
- 34:19Speaker 1: the Flaherty train here, right, now his numbers against the
- 34:22Speaker 1: Royals are also not really that good, and seventy nine
- 34:25Speaker 1: at bats twenty to five strike out walk ratio is good.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Two sixty six.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Batting average a lot is fine. Seven ninety one ops
- 34:32Speaker 1: a little bit on the higher side there. He's a
- 34:34Speaker 1: lot of few home runs in there. You know, this game,
- 34:41Speaker 1: as we kind of thinking, over is the way to
- 34:43Speaker 1: look at this game. So the advanced analytics guys will
- 34:46Speaker 1: like me for that, because we'd be fade except logo
- 34:50Speaker 1: in a way. If we did that, the totals got
- 34:52Speaker 1: up from eight and a half to or eight to
- 34:54Speaker 1: eight and a half.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Excuse me.
- 34:56Speaker 1: We don't really see the percentages yet, but it looks
- 34:57Speaker 1: like the money is indicating on the over. I don't
- 35:01Speaker 1: think I would disagree with that. Both starting pitchers don't
- 35:03Speaker 1: have good matchup numbers. Flaherty looks very fatable here, but
- 35:07Speaker 1: that's also leaning leading to the fact that the money's
- 35:11Speaker 1: coming in on the Royals here as well.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Detroit sixty two percent of the tickets on them.
- 35:16Speaker 1: Detroit looks like they've figured it out, as they have
- 35:20Speaker 1: a couple of wins in a row. Now. Detroit was
- 35:22Speaker 1: on a bad stretch for a little while. Obviously, I
- 35:25Speaker 1: think Detroit is still pretty good. I think they're the
- 35:27Speaker 1: best team in this pretty mediocre division here, but the
- 35:32Speaker 1: public maybe is overrating them. In a game where they
- 35:34Speaker 1: have Jack Flaherty on the mound, sixty two percent of
- 35:37Speaker 1: the tickets on them, fifty nine percent of the cash
- 35:39Speaker 1: on Kansas City, so the money maybe the advanced analytics
- 35:43Speaker 1: guys are still not fading Set Lugo as far as
- 35:45Speaker 1: the side is concerned. You know, I'm gonna agree. I've
- 35:48Speaker 1: been leaning to Kansas City as well here. Yeah, I
- 35:52Speaker 1: just think generally I would trust set Lugo over Jack Flaherty.
- 35:56Speaker 1: If you do that, I think first five innings makes
- 35:59Speaker 1: more sense though, because Kansas.
- 36:00Speaker 2: City's bullpen just has struggled so far this year.
- 36:03Speaker 1: So if you wanted to exclude the bullpens there, maybe
- 36:06Speaker 1: that makes more sense and go Kansas City first five,
- 36:08Speaker 1: just for Lougo to outpitch Flaherty, which he has done
- 36:12Speaker 1: so far this season. All right, keeping a going, this
- 36:16Speaker 1: is gonna take forever.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Man.
- 36:18Speaker 1: We have San Francisco and Cincinnati. Cincinnati won the first
- 36:23Speaker 1: game of the series yesterday two to one. Very low
- 36:25Speaker 1: scoring for a game in Cincinnati where usually you see
- 36:28Speaker 1: higher scoring games. It's a hitter friendly ballpark. As far
- 36:32Speaker 1: as the bullpens go, I don't even know where. I
- 36:36Speaker 1: don't have the lay of the land. Still, man, the
- 36:38Speaker 1: Reds have been decent their eleventh and bullpen whips so far.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Giants should be better than they are. They're eighteenth right now.
- 36:45Speaker 1: Though they were a very good bullpen last year. They've
- 36:47Speaker 1: struggled a bit this year though, no doubt about it.
- 36:50Speaker 1: The Reds have been the better bullpend this year. But
- 36:52Speaker 1: I think the Giants are gonna close that gap a bit.
- 36:54Speaker 1: I don't think the Giants bullpen is really that bad.
- 36:57Speaker 1: I do think the Giants offense is bad. Even though
- 36:59Speaker 1: everybody talks about how they have all this talent. Yeah,
- 37:02Speaker 1: but they had pretty much the same guys last year,
- 37:05Speaker 1: like post Devers trade and whatever, their offense still sucked.
- 37:09Speaker 1: And you know they play in a hit or unfriendly ballpark.
- 37:12Speaker 1: But still, I don't think their offense is that good.
- 37:14Speaker 1: They are bottom several offense here. Maybe they're a little
- 37:17Speaker 1: bit better than that. The Reds have also not been
- 37:20Speaker 1: a good offense, though they've been bottom. They're the second
- 37:23Speaker 1: worst offense right now based on ops. I don't know
- 37:27Speaker 1: if that's gonna continue either. Like, look at these teams
- 37:30Speaker 1: you have at the bottom of the pack right now,
- 37:32Speaker 1: Seattle Mets, even the Reds, Like you gotta think some
- 37:36Speaker 1: of these offenses are actually better than this. But it's
- 37:39Speaker 1: a new year, man, so you can't base everything off
- 37:41Speaker 1: of last year entirely.
- 37:44Speaker 2: So I don't know exactly.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Cincinnati, they used three relief pitchers yesterday, not too bad.
- 37:50Speaker 2: San Francisco also used three.
- 37:53Speaker 1: The usage about the same for both teams pretty much,
- 37:56Speaker 1: so Cincinnati probably has a slight bullpen. It's just based
- 38:00Speaker 1: on their current form. Tyler Maleay is pitching for the
- 38:04Speaker 1: Giants here. He has not pitched well so far this year.
- 38:07Speaker 1: He's no longer on Texas, so it seems like he's
- 38:10Speaker 1: not having a good time of it anymore, even though
- 38:12Speaker 1: it seems like San Francisco usually does have pretty good
- 38:15Speaker 1: pitching coaching.
- 38:16Speaker 2: But maybe not. I don't know. Maybe it's not enough.
- 38:19Speaker 1: Four point three ERA for him, one point five to
- 38:21Speaker 1: seven whip none of that is good.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Fifteen to seven strike a walk ratio. His strikeout raid.
- 38:26Speaker 1: Is pretty good, more than one per inning, but that's
- 38:30Speaker 1: too many walks. He's allowed more than one hit per inning.
- 38:32Speaker 1: That's not good, Although his last start was a little
- 38:35Speaker 1: bit better. He's shut up Philadelphia for five innings, so
- 38:38Speaker 1: maybe he's trending a bit in the right direction. However,
- 38:41Speaker 1: it was also his wildest start with four walks, so
- 38:44Speaker 1: that is not exactly good. I don't really trust him
- 38:48Speaker 1: right now. The Reds don't have much experience against him though.
- 38:51Speaker 1: You only have two hitters who've ever seen him before,
- 38:54Speaker 1: but they combined for a five thirty eight batting average
- 38:56Speaker 1: of fourteen eighteen ops against him fourteen eighteen the year
- 39:02Speaker 1: two to one strike out walk ratio really all the
- 39:04Speaker 1: damages to Brian Hayes, though, So if you want a
- 39:07Speaker 1: sneaky player prop there, I don't even know who that is.
- 39:10Speaker 1: But he's seven for eleven with a home run and
- 39:12Speaker 1: a walk and a double him one strikeout off of Mally,
- 39:17Speaker 1: so he might be able to do damage against him.
- 39:20Speaker 1: It's a weird handicap there because Molly's unfamiliar to most
- 39:24Speaker 1: of the Reds hitters, which should be an advantage to him.
- 39:26Speaker 1: But there's a lot of game film on him and
- 39:28Speaker 1: the guys that have seen him at least really just
- 39:30Speaker 1: Hayes has hit him really well.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Willie Mays Hayes.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Rhet Louder is pitching for Cincinnati. He's been okay, three
- 39:39Speaker 1: point three to one ERA, one point two to whip.
- 39:41Speaker 1: We did get a win going under I believe in
- 39:44Speaker 1: that game with him against Texas there, which was his
- 39:47Speaker 1: best start of the season. He's actually struggled in his
- 39:49Speaker 1: other two starts so far.
- 39:52Speaker 2: Overall, his numbers are actually.
- 39:53Speaker 1: Not particularly good, even though I think he does have
- 39:55Speaker 1: some talent.
- 39:56Speaker 2: But his strike got rad is low.
- 39:58Speaker 1: Eleven strike outs at sixteen thir innings, six walks is
- 40:01Speaker 1: not good. He's walked multiple guys in every outing. That's
- 40:04Speaker 1: not good. Fewer than one hit per inning is pretty good.
- 40:09Speaker 1: But overall, Yeah, Louder. He looks like he's struggling a
- 40:12Speaker 1: little bit here. But the Giants only a Damas has
- 40:15Speaker 1: ever seen him before, and he's zero for too often,
- 40:18Speaker 1: no walks, no strikeouts, so unfamiliarity kind of on both
- 40:21Speaker 1: sides here. But RT Louder, he's the way younger pitchers,
- 40:24Speaker 1: so there's a lot less game film on him. I
- 40:28Speaker 1: think I am gonna lean to Cincinnati in this game.
- 40:31Speaker 1: It looks like the money is coming in that way.
- 40:33Speaker 1: San Francisco initially did move up to minus one oh
- 40:36Speaker 1: six on the money line, but fifty three percent of tickets,
- 40:38Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of the cash on Cincinnati current form,
- 40:42Speaker 1: and you know, just less game film on the guy.
- 40:45Speaker 1: I think I would prefer Louder and Cincinnati. They're both
- 40:48Speaker 1: been just has been a bit better than San Francisco.
- 40:51Speaker 2: So for this year.
- 40:52Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that would be my opinion in
- 40:54Speaker 1: that game. It's not strong, but that would be my opinion.
- 40:58Speaker 1: Next game up, We're gonna have a a bet in
- 41:01Speaker 1: this next game, and I like this one. I mean
- 41:05Speaker 1: I better like it if I'm recommending it as a bet,
- 41:07Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a total and we're gonna go over.
- 41:12Speaker 1: I would get the key number of nine. You have
- 41:13Speaker 1: to pay a little bit for it. It minus won twenty.
- 41:17Speaker 1: If it gets over that, I mean you're looking at
- 41:18Speaker 1: nine and a half. You know you'll get a better
- 41:21Speaker 1: price on it. I think I probably still would go
- 41:24Speaker 1: over the nine and a half, but it's a lot
- 41:26Speaker 1: worse than going over nine. You know, baseball not that
- 41:29Speaker 1: many runs are scored. Nine is a key number because,
- 41:33Speaker 1: as I always say, one of the teams has to win.
- 41:36Speaker 1: So if it's a four to four tie. You get
- 41:38Speaker 1: that ninth run automatically by default because of that. But yes,
- 41:43Speaker 1: I found it out there at minus one twenty at
- 41:45Speaker 1: the over nine. I like the over here Washington and Pittsburgh. Now,
- 41:48Speaker 1: looking at just the numbers that these teams have put
- 41:51Speaker 1: up so far, I know, I don't know if I
- 41:53Speaker 1: quite buy these numbers.
- 41:54Speaker 2: But Washington has.
- 41:55Speaker 1: The fourth best ops, so they've been really good offensively
- 41:59Speaker 1: this year.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's seventh.
- 42:01Speaker 1: So both these offenses have been really hitting well, and
- 42:06Speaker 1: we're gonna ride that in this game, at least, because
- 42:08Speaker 1: I think the pitching matchup is also conducive to it.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Washington has a.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Just a terrible bullpen, third worst, but I think they
- 42:16Speaker 1: might be worse than that.
- 42:17Speaker 2: I think they might be.
- 42:18Speaker 1: The absolute worst era wise they are, so they're a
- 42:22Speaker 1: horrible bullpen, so we could definitely leave them in the
- 42:25Speaker 1: equation and fade them.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Pittsburgh hasn't been that good either.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Their bullpeny RA looks decent, but they're twentieth right now
- 42:32Speaker 1: in bullpen Whip, not exactly the greatest, even though yeah,
- 42:36Speaker 1: they're the better of these two bullpens. But then what
- 42:38Speaker 1: do these bullpens do yesterday. Well, Washington used five relief
- 42:42Speaker 1: pitchers yesterday, so their bullpen is pretty taxed right now,
- 42:45Speaker 1: and it's not a good bullpen. Pittsburgh' has had some
- 42:48Speaker 1: usage as well over the last couple of days. Of
- 42:50Speaker 1: only three relief pitchers yesterday, so yes, Pittsburgh has used
- 42:56Speaker 1: you know, fewer of their relief pitchers.
- 42:57Speaker 2: Yes, Pittsburgh does have a bullpen.
- 42:59Speaker 1: Egine this, but I do not like either bullpen in
- 43:03Speaker 1: this game, and I don't like either starter or either
- 43:07Speaker 1: as far as what happened in the game yesterday.
- 43:09Speaker 2: By the way, both teams this with the series so far.
- 43:12Speaker 1: Pittsburgh wanted to blowout in the first game, then they
- 43:15Speaker 1: lost by one yesterday, so you know, maybe Pittsburgh could
- 43:18Speaker 1: be in a bounce back, but we're going total here.
- 43:21Speaker 2: Jake Irvin is pitching for Washington.
- 43:23Speaker 1: He's been fade material seven point oh seventy RA one
- 43:26Speaker 1: point five whip and.
- 43:28Speaker 2: While yes, I think he is better than that. He
- 43:30Speaker 2: has good strikeout stuff.
- 43:31Speaker 1: At least he has more than one strikeout per inning
- 43:34Speaker 1: and he's allowed fewer than one hit per inning. But
- 43:36Speaker 1: he's been wild dude, eight walks and sixteen strikeouts. That's
- 43:41Speaker 1: not really gonna cut it. I know he's faced some
- 43:43Speaker 1: good offenses here, the Cubs, the Dodgers, Milwaukee Cubs have
- 43:46Speaker 1: been struggling a bit though Pittsburgh not a great offense,
- 43:49Speaker 1: but they've been hitting well this season. Irvin is clearly
- 43:54Speaker 1: not really a good form right now because his walk
- 43:56Speaker 1: numbers gone up in every out. He walked five in
- 43:58Speaker 1: his last outing and threw one hundred pitches. That's not
- 44:01Speaker 1: particularly good. And then against Pittsburgh's numbers are not good,
- 44:05Speaker 1: so I think they could definitely hit him in forty
- 44:08Speaker 1: one at bats nine to six, strikeout walk ratio two
- 44:10Speaker 1: ninety three, batting average allowed, eight seventy one ohps not
- 44:15Speaker 1: good numbers, So yeah, we could.
- 44:16Speaker 2: Fade Irv in here.
- 44:18Speaker 1: And on the other side, Mason Montgomery is listed as
- 44:21Speaker 1: the starter for Pittsburgh. I don't know if he really
- 44:24Speaker 1: will be though, because he's He's only twenty five, so
- 44:27Speaker 1: there is maybe room for impruveman here. But he's been
- 44:29Speaker 1: a relief pitcher for his whole career so far, and
- 44:32Speaker 1: he did put up some good numbers out of Tampa
- 44:34Speaker 1: Bay's bullpen the first season they had him, but then
- 44:37Speaker 1: his full season because he only had nine appearances that
- 44:41Speaker 1: first season. He was in the majors his full season.
- 44:44Speaker 1: Last year, he was pretty awful. His strikeout rate was
- 44:48Speaker 1: actually great, and he had way more strikeouts than innings pitch,
- 44:51Speaker 1: so yeah, he is definitely a strikeout guy. His walk
- 44:54Speaker 1: number was egregiously bad, though, and he allowed more than
- 44:57Speaker 1: one hit per innings. He was putting a ton of
- 44:59Speaker 1: guys on base, and this year hasn't really been any better.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Six point one four, one point nine to one whip.
- 45:05Speaker 1: The problem is, like, I don't know what they're doing
- 45:07Speaker 1: with him, because he literally pitched yesterday, and yes, he
- 45:10Speaker 1: had one clean inning yesterday, but it was a good inning,
- 45:14Speaker 1: one good inning, Okay, fine, but what does that mean
- 45:17Speaker 1: He's gonna give you one inning today?
- 45:19Speaker 2: He's gonna be the opener. Is that what we're doing here?
- 45:21Speaker 2: I think so.
- 45:22Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be the opener and then you're
- 45:24Speaker 1: gonna get Pittsburgh's bullpend for the rest of the game.
- 45:27Speaker 1: And I'm kind of old school man, like I don't
- 45:30Speaker 1: like these bullpen games, and I know there are certain
- 45:32Speaker 1: teams that do them and it works out okay, but
- 45:35Speaker 1: with a bullpen that's not that good like Pittsburgh's. They're
- 45:38Speaker 1: a little bit used up over the last couple of days.
- 45:41Speaker 1: I don't like the idea against a hot hitting Washington
- 45:45Speaker 1: lineup too. I think there are gonna be some runs
- 45:48Speaker 1: here on both sides. So yeah, I don't like it. Man,
- 45:50Speaker 1: Even though yes, managers can manage that thing and mix
- 45:53Speaker 1: and match the matchups with those pitchers. Bringing in pitcher
- 45:57Speaker 1: after pitcher does keep the opposing lineup off guard a
- 46:00Speaker 1: little bit, So there is that, but I still don't
- 46:03Speaker 1: like it. I don't I think we're gonna get runs
- 46:05Speaker 1: in this game. I do lean Pittsburgh though, so I
- 46:08Speaker 1: actually lean to that bullpen situation over Jake Irvin. That
- 46:12Speaker 1: doesn't say much about Irvin. Irvin plus Washington bullpen, I
- 46:17Speaker 1: guess I would say Pittsburgh's up to minus one seventy two.
- 46:21Speaker 1: We don't really see any percentages on yet on this yet,
- 46:23Speaker 1: but the total is still sitting around nine, and yet
- 46:26Speaker 1: we're gonna go over that total, all right, Anaheim at
- 46:32Speaker 1: the Yankees. These teams I think have split the first
- 46:34Speaker 1: two games. Anaheim could have two wins in this series
- 46:38Speaker 1: so far. Man, the Yankees could be on a they
- 46:42Speaker 1: could be on an what is it? What would it
- 46:43Speaker 1: be a seven game losing streak, but instead they won
- 46:47Speaker 1: that one game in there, pulled it out of their
- 46:50Speaker 1: ass two days ago with a win after losing by
- 46:53Speaker 1: two in the bottom of the ninth they won, and
- 46:55Speaker 1: then yesterday they got hammered by Anaheim yesterday. Really, though,
- 47:01Speaker 1: we know the Yankees are the better team. Though, I mean,
- 47:03Speaker 1: let's not kid ourselves here. Even though Anaheim has been
- 47:06Speaker 1: the tenth best offense so far this year, Yankees him
- 47:09Speaker 1: in twentieth based on what their lineups lookick, I think
- 47:12Speaker 1: you gotta just think that the Yankees are the better
- 47:15Speaker 1: offense and at some point they're gonna turn it around.
- 47:17Speaker 1: But current form maybe not so much. As far as
- 47:21Speaker 1: the bullpen's. Anaheim's bullpen is bad, They're a bottom several
- 47:24Speaker 1: bullpen here. Yankees haven't been great, but they're kind of
- 47:28Speaker 1: middle of the pack here, so neither bullpen is great.
- 47:31Speaker 1: But I think the Yankees do have a better bullpen
- 47:33Speaker 1: than Anaheim's tragic bullpen situation they have going on there.
- 47:38Speaker 1: The Yankees only his two relief pitchers yesterday. Anaheim also
- 47:41Speaker 1: used two, so usage kind of a wash. Jack Kohana
- 47:46Speaker 1: Wit Suspicchi for Anaheim. Maybe maybe he's not that bad, man.
- 47:52Speaker 1: I mean, I know I've I've trashed this guy for
- 47:54Speaker 1: a long time because his numbers have just been absolutely atrocious,
- 47:57Speaker 1: to the point where I was like, how is this
- 47:58Speaker 1: guy even still in this rotation? Maybe he's proven me wrong.
- 48:03Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I mean, his numbers are at least.
- 48:05Speaker 2: Tolerable this year.
- 48:06Speaker 1: Three point two four ERA one point two six whip
- 48:09Speaker 1: is a little bit high, but based on how he's
- 48:12Speaker 1: pitched so far in his career, you can't complain about
- 48:15Speaker 1: this man.
- 48:16Speaker 2: However, there is one complaint that.
- 48:18Speaker 1: You can level against him, though, and that is the
- 48:20Speaker 1: walk number is atrocious still, so I still am not
- 48:23Speaker 1: sold on this guy.
- 48:25Speaker 2: He's gone sixteen to two thirds innings, so of our ten.
- 48:27Speaker 1: Hits allowed as good, he's not been very hittable, but
- 48:30Speaker 1: twelve strikeouts. I'm willing to overlook that if your command
- 48:34Speaker 1: is good.
- 48:35Speaker 2: But it's not.
- 48:35Speaker 1: He's walked eleven guys, so that is still a problem, man,
- 48:39Speaker 1: big time problem with the with the command there. Even
- 48:43Speaker 1: though he is coming off a good start against Cincinnati
- 48:45Speaker 1: where he allowed two hits and seven innings and only
- 48:48Speaker 1: allowed one on and run in a hitter friendly ballpark
- 48:50Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, but he walked more guys than he struck out.
- 48:53Speaker 1: You can't keep doing that, man. He's done that twice
- 48:56Speaker 1: in his three starts so far. So I still can't
- 48:59Speaker 1: trust him. Even though his ground ball rate is pretty good.
- 49:02Speaker 1: He's inducing more ground balls than fly balls. That is
- 49:05Speaker 1: something you do kind of want to see because it
- 49:06Speaker 1: means you're probably gonna give up fewer home runs. So
- 49:10Speaker 1: he's not allowing home runs. I still don't know how
- 49:13Speaker 1: trustworthy he is, though.
- 49:14Speaker 2: Man.
- 49:14Speaker 1: His numbers against the Yankees are a little bit hard
- 49:17Speaker 1: to read. Twenty six at bats not a big sample,
- 49:20Speaker 1: six' four strike out walk. Ratio of, course you know
- 49:22Speaker 1: that's not going to be that. Good he doesn't strike
- 49:24Speaker 1: out a lot of. Guys he walks too many, guys
- 49:26Speaker 1: so that kind.
- 49:27Speaker 2: Of reflects in these numbers as.
- 49:30Speaker 1: Well here two thirty one batting average, allowed seven to
- 49:32Speaker 1: ninety five ohps.
- 49:33Speaker 2: Allowed that's not that. Good i'm not sure THAT i
- 49:36Speaker 2: expect him to do particularly well. Here.
- 49:38Speaker 1: Man Luis heel on the other side for The, yankees
- 49:41Speaker 1: did not get off to a good.
- 49:42Speaker 2: Start his numbers don't look.
- 49:44Speaker 1: Good, obviously six point seven FIVE era one point five.
- 49:47Speaker 1: WHIP i think he's better than, that but he's been
- 49:50Speaker 1: kind of injury. Plagued he's a guy that does throw
- 49:53Speaker 1: hard and gets a lot of strikeouts, usually but he's.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Wild he walks too many. Guys his one start that
- 49:59Speaker 1: he made so, far he went four. Innings he had
- 50:00Speaker 1: to throw eighty eight pitches At Tampa bay at the
- 50:03Speaker 1: Trop that's not a good signe very inefficient with his.
- 50:07Speaker 1: Pitches he had three, walks two, strikeouts only allowed three,
- 50:11Speaker 1: hits but give up three or in.
- 50:12Speaker 2: Runs it wasn't a good outing for.
- 50:14Speaker 1: Him he is better than, that, though and his numbers
- 50:17Speaker 1: Against anaheim are.
- 50:18Speaker 2: Good in twenty nine at.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Bats eight to two strikeout walk, ratio one toh three
- 50:22Speaker 1: batting average allowed and four oh THREE, ops so that's
- 50:27Speaker 1: not too, bad although two of the three hits he's
- 50:29Speaker 1: allowed to them have been extra base, hits with a
- 50:32Speaker 1: double From Josh lowe and a home run From logan.
- 50:35Speaker 1: O'HOPPAH i don't, know, MAN i don't know what we're
- 50:40Speaker 1: gonna get out of these. Pitchers heel does have the
- 50:42Speaker 1: better matchup. Numbers i'll Lean yankees in the. Game the
- 50:47Speaker 1: money is agreeing with that there at minus one seventy seven,
- 50:49Speaker 1: here so you do have to lay a bit of
- 50:51Speaker 1: a price on. Them BUT i Think heel is actually
- 50:54Speaker 1: better Than Kohana whitz even though you look at the,
- 50:56Speaker 1: numbers it makes it look like the opposite is the.
- 50:58Speaker 2: Case But i'm not gonna buy into.
- 51:00Speaker 1: That sixty eight percent of tickets seventy five percent of
- 51:02Speaker 1: the cash on The. YANKEES i think it's bounced back
- 51:05Speaker 1: after a horrible game. Yesterday, yeah that would be my opinion.
- 51:11Speaker 2: There heel has the better matchup.
- 51:13Speaker 1: Numbers LIKE i, said at the very least you'd have
- 51:15Speaker 1: to lay like a minus one run. Line they'll make
- 51:17Speaker 1: your own minus one run. LINE i would not disagree
- 51:20Speaker 1: with an over in this game, either THOUGH i don't
- 51:22Speaker 1: know how much you can really trust Either Starry pitcher
- 51:25Speaker 1: or really Either. Bullpen but that total's gone way. Up
- 51:29Speaker 1: it's gone from nine to ten and a. Half now
- 51:31Speaker 1: it's headed towards. Eleven maybe there's some weather involved, Here
- 51:35Speaker 1: maybe there's wind or something In Yankee.
- 51:37Speaker 2: STADIUM i don't.
- 51:38Speaker 1: Know wind is usually not that much of a factor,
- 51:40Speaker 1: there BUT i don't. Know it's a pretty hitter friendly park,
- 51:43Speaker 1: generally though eighty six percent of tickets and nine to
- 51:46Speaker 1: nine percent of the cash on the. OVER i don't,
- 51:48Speaker 1: know but if we're gonna go, over you missed out
- 51:50Speaker 1: on the best, number but it probably wasn't available that. Long,
- 51:54Speaker 1: STILL i think over is worth considering in that, game
- 51:56Speaker 1: but PROBABLY i would prefer probably The, yankees, though like
- 52:00Speaker 1: making your own minus one run line. There it's actually
- 52:03Speaker 1: it's actually a situation WHERE i think maybe you don't
- 52:05Speaker 1: have to pay too much for The, yankees even.
- 52:07Speaker 2: Though usually you. Do that's On Amazon Prime video by the.
- 52:10Speaker 1: Way but, YEAH i think The yankees have the better
- 52:13Speaker 1: starting pitcher by a little bit, there the better bullpen
- 52:16Speaker 1: even though they both, stink and the better, OFFENSE i would,
- 52:20Speaker 1: say even though they're not in the better form all.
- 52:22Speaker 1: Right miami At, atlanta these teams have split the first
- 52:27Speaker 1: two games of the. SERIES i think the series might
- 52:28Speaker 1: continue tomorrow, too BUT i think it means both teams
- 52:32Speaker 1: are gonna show up anyway for this trying to win the.
- 52:34Speaker 1: Series bullpen. Usage atlanta used four relief pitchers. Yesterday they've
- 52:40Speaker 1: been a good bullpend this, year but they did have
- 52:42Speaker 1: a lot of usage. Yesterday miami had a little bit.
- 52:45Speaker 1: Less miami only used two relief. Pitchers both teams have
- 52:48Speaker 1: been good bullpen. Wise atlanta still ranked number one IN
- 52:52Speaker 1: whip even though even THOUGH i don't really think they're
- 52:55Speaker 1: the best, bullpen but they've been.
- 52:56Speaker 2: Good miami has been good as well at.
- 52:59Speaker 1: SEVENTH i STILL i think neither of these bullpens are
- 53:01Speaker 1: quite as good as, that but they've done well so.
- 53:04Speaker 1: Far And lana also has hit well so far either
- 53:07Speaker 1: at third in, offense And miami's not bad either at.
- 53:10Speaker 1: Ninth so both offenses and both bullpens have performed pretty
- 53:13Speaker 1: well so, far so we got to take that into,
- 53:16Speaker 1: account even THOUGH i think there might be some regression
- 53:18Speaker 1: in store in both. Cases, There miami might have a
- 53:21Speaker 1: little bit of a bullpen edge here, really just because
- 53:23Speaker 1: they're a little bit more. Rested Chris paddock is pitching
- 53:27Speaker 1: for The, marlins, though and he has not been good
- 53:30Speaker 1: throughout his. Career he hasn't been, good but his numbers
- 53:32Speaker 1: this season also not good six point one, four one
- 53:35Speaker 1: point five to SEVEN. Whip he bitched well in his
- 53:38Speaker 1: last outing, though Against, detroit so he's kind of improved
- 53:41Speaker 1: from start to start for the most. Part so he
- 53:44Speaker 1: is trending in the right. DIRECTION i mean his fourteen
- 53:46Speaker 1: to five strike out walk. Race yo is not that.
- 53:48Speaker 1: Bad he's allowed too many hits though he's allowed three on.
- 53:52Speaker 1: Runs he's allowed eighteen hits in fourteen to two thirds.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Innings that's been the.
- 53:56Speaker 2: Problem hit.
- 53:56Speaker 1: Ability he's definitely been too hittable against The. Braves doesn't
- 54:01Speaker 1: have really good. Numbers they've seen a lot of, him
- 54:03Speaker 1: eighty one of. BATS i actually don't even know how
- 54:05Speaker 1: The braves have seen him that. Much, OH i GUESS i.
- 54:09Speaker 1: Forgot he was on in The National league early in his.
- 54:11Speaker 1: CAREER i guess that's where it came. From it's been
- 54:13Speaker 1: a while, though since twenty twenty, one but he was
- 54:15Speaker 1: On San.
- 54:16Speaker 2: DIEGO i forgot about.
- 54:17Speaker 1: That but, anyway The braves have a two seventy two
- 54:20Speaker 1: average against, him eight thirty two ops in eighty one of,
- 54:23Speaker 1: bats thirteen to five strikeout walk. Ratio yaz absolutely destroys.
- 54:28Speaker 1: Him for what that's, Worth he's nine for twenty three
- 54:30Speaker 1: with three doubles and three home runs off, him two.
- 54:34Speaker 2: Walks and four.
- 54:34Speaker 1: Strikeouts so player prop potential, THERE i recommend hits plus
- 54:38Speaker 1: runs plus RBIs. Well i'm not a prop, guy but
- 54:41Speaker 1: it looks Like. Paddock, yeah could get hit around in this.
- 54:45Speaker 1: Game he's going up Against Bryce, elder WHO i still
- 54:48Speaker 1: can't figure. Out, dude he looks amazing in some starts
- 54:52Speaker 1: and he looks absolutely atrocious in some. Starts this, year
- 54:56Speaker 1: he's been mostly good, though one point TWO, era one
- 54:59Speaker 1: point oh two. Whip can he continue? THAT i don't think,
- 55:02Speaker 1: so but remains to be. SEEN i, mean his numbers
- 55:05Speaker 1: across the border are pretty good so, far seventeen to
- 55:08Speaker 1: two thirds. Innings he's left thirteen, hit sixteen, strikeouts five,
- 55:11Speaker 1: walks nothing that you could really pick at there too.
- 55:15Speaker 2: Much like that's not.
- 55:16Speaker 1: Bad but his most recent start was by far his
- 55:19Speaker 1: worst of the three Against. Cleveland he didn't make it five,
- 55:22Speaker 1: innings he walked three, guys a lot of.
- 55:24Speaker 2: Home, run only allowed two earned. Runs but that wasn't.
- 55:28Speaker 2: Good so he is kind of trending in the wrong.
- 55:30Speaker 2: Direction AND i still don't really trust him if you
- 55:33Speaker 2: look at you, know his, stats like last.
- 55:34Speaker 1: Year last two seasons he had really bad. Seasons first
- 55:38Speaker 1: two seasons of his career were, fine although his whip
- 55:41Speaker 1: was kind of too. HIGH i don't know what, happened.
- 55:44Speaker 1: Man there might have been an injury that happened to
- 55:46Speaker 1: him in twenty twenty four would be my guest because
- 55:48Speaker 1: it was a shortened season and basically surrounding, that he
- 55:51Speaker 1: just has never returned to. Form don't know what we're
- 55:55Speaker 1: gonna get out of him this, season, Man LIKE i,
- 55:56Speaker 1: said he's really a mystery right. Now his numbers Against
- 55:59Speaker 1: miami are pretty bad. Though in thirty at bats one,
- 56:02Speaker 1: strikeout one. Walk that's not. GOOD i, mean it's a
- 56:05Speaker 1: low walk, number you can give them, THAT i, guess
- 56:08Speaker 1: but not good strike out stuff. There three sixty seven
- 56:10Speaker 1: batting average, allowed eighty seven. Ops not really good numbers
- 56:14Speaker 1: there at. ALL i think you could definitely go over
- 56:18Speaker 1: in this. Game that would probably be my. Recommendation although the,
- 56:20Speaker 1: bullpens you, know you kind of have to dodge the.
- 56:24Speaker 1: Bullpens But, anaheim excuse, Me atlanta used four relief.
- 56:27Speaker 2: Pitchers just.
- 56:28Speaker 1: THAT i don't think the bullpens are as good as
- 56:30Speaker 1: people think they, are at least right, now total is
- 56:33Speaker 1: sitting at nine juice to the. Under but, YEAH i
- 56:36Speaker 1: think my preference would be. Over it's a pretty high
- 56:38Speaker 1: total for, reason and if both starters don't last.
- 56:41Speaker 2: In the, game that you're gonna have to. Get, yeah that's.
- 56:44Speaker 1: Worse for the, bullpens of, course SO i usually will
- 56:46Speaker 1: not go over in the first five innings and try
- 56:48Speaker 1: to avoid a good bullpen.
- 56:50Speaker 2: When going, over you know WHAT i, mean because if
- 56:51Speaker 2: you're going.
- 56:52Speaker 1: Over you're basically saying you think the starters are gonna
- 56:54Speaker 1: kind of get knocked out, early and that kind of
- 56:57Speaker 1: just dominoes into the. Bullpens eighty six percent of, tickets
- 57:01Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the cash on the over doesn't
- 57:03Speaker 1: really mean anything to. Me it looks Like atlanta is
- 57:05Speaker 1: a very public, side though at minus one sixty. Eight
- 57:08Speaker 1: don't know if they deserve to be that much of a.
- 57:10Speaker 1: Favorite With Bryce elder on the, MOUND i think people
- 57:13Speaker 1: are kind of just looking at the numbers and thinking
- 57:15Speaker 1: this is a gigantic mismatch between these two. STARTERS i
- 57:18Speaker 1: don't really think that it, is, though even IF i
- 57:20Speaker 1: do Think elder is better Than, PADDOCK i don't think
- 57:22Speaker 1: it's by that. Much eighty eight percent of, tickets eighty
- 57:25Speaker 1: six percent of the cash On, atlanta so the money
- 57:27Speaker 1: is Fading, atlanta and that one In atlanta's a public,
- 57:30Speaker 1: Side SO i would not really want to be on
- 57:32Speaker 1: The atlanta side in that. Game just throwing that out
- 57:35Speaker 1: there that In atlanta did win, Yesterday so if the
- 57:39Speaker 1: Zig zag holds the Maybe miami would be the side
- 57:43Speaker 1: to look at in that. Game BUT i don't really
- 57:45Speaker 1: have a good gauge on. THAT i think my preference
- 57:47Speaker 1: is over in that. Game Tampa bay at The White.
- 57:50Speaker 1: SOX i, mean this, game, yeah. Unfortunate, yeah we took
- 57:54Speaker 1: the loss yesterday and that. One maybe The White sox
- 57:58Speaker 1: could bounce back. HERE i don't. Know that was the
- 58:00Speaker 1: first game of the. Series as far as bullpen, usage
- 58:04Speaker 1: White sox used a, LOT i think both teams used
- 58:06Speaker 1: kind of a.
- 58:07Speaker 2: Lot. Yesterday White sox used, Four Tampa bay also used.
- 58:10Speaker 2: Four so the bullpens are.
- 58:11Speaker 1: Not really in good shape, here and in, fact both
- 58:14Speaker 1: bullpens have been bad on the. Season White sox have
- 58:17Speaker 1: been the fourth Worst Tampa bay has been the sixth worst,
- 58:19Speaker 1: Bullpen so both bullpens are definitely fatable here and they've
- 58:23Speaker 1: been used. Up so don't really want anything to do
- 58:26Speaker 1: with the bullpens in this game whatever we, do unless
- 58:28Speaker 1: we're fading. Them The White sox have had the worst
- 58:30Speaker 1: offense in baseball, though but this might be a game
- 58:34Speaker 1: where they could put up some against That Tampa bay.
- 58:37Speaker 1: Bullpen they did put up some runs yesterday as. Well Tampa,
- 58:40Speaker 1: bay their bullpen has been the middle of the. Pack
- 58:43Speaker 1: they're actually climbing.
- 58:44Speaker 2: Up towards the. Top excuse, Offense excuse, me what are
- 58:47Speaker 2: we talking?
- 58:47Speaker 1: About Tampa bay's bullpen's been, bad ALTHOUGH i think their
- 58:50Speaker 1: bullpen might be a little bit better than it. LOOKS
- 58:52Speaker 1: i Think tampa is the better bullpen by a little.
- 58:55Speaker 1: Bit but, Anyway tampa is the better. OFFENSE i, MEAN
- 58:57Speaker 1: i don't think that's a. Question they're eleventh past right.
- 59:00Speaker 1: NOW i think that might be overrating.
- 59:02Speaker 2: Them a little.
- 59:02Speaker 1: Bit but The White sox definitely have a pretty putid.
- 59:05Speaker 1: Offense the starting pitching, matchup, though looks pretty. Ugly Jesse
- 59:10Speaker 1: schultens is getting the start for The. Rays he's a converted.
- 59:14Speaker 1: RELIEVER i know he has a ZERO erara this year
- 59:16Speaker 1: in a one point zero seven. Whip he's only made one.
- 59:18Speaker 1: APPEARANCE i think it was out of the bullpend BECAUSE
- 59:21Speaker 1: i don't remember handicapping. Him it was against The. Cubs
- 59:24Speaker 1: he held them scoreless for four and two. Thirds you
- 59:26Speaker 1: gotta give him credit for. That that was a good
- 59:28Speaker 1: outing for. Him BUT i just don't think we could
- 59:30Speaker 1: trust him his career numbers AS era is over five
- 59:34Speaker 1: one point five. Whip he's only pitched in twenty twenty,
- 59:37Speaker 1: three where he was a starter for This White sox
- 59:39Speaker 1: team for a, bit and then he made two appearances
- 59:42Speaker 1: last year For Tampa bay and that's his entire.
- 59:44Speaker 2: Career that's not a good.
- 59:46Speaker 1: Sign when he's thirty, two you, know he's not really
- 59:49Speaker 1: a trustworthy.
- 59:50Speaker 2: PITCHER i, mean.
- 59:50Speaker 1: Maybe he gets up for it because this will be
- 59:52Speaker 1: his first appearance against The White. Sox the team and
- 59:55Speaker 1: he spent pretty much his his only major league career
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: umbers pretty much all came with, Them so maybe he
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: will get excited to pitch against. Them BUT i don't
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: know if that's. Enough, MAN i don't think he's good.
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: Enough they haven't seen him. Before but, AGAIN i don't
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: even know if that's. Enough he'll be going.
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: Up Against Sean, burke who is a young guy that
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: does have some. Upside he has actually pitched.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Well like last, year it Was smith that was the
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: better of the Two massachusetts pitchers that The White sox,
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: have But burke has been the better of the two this.
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: Year so.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Far he has a three point SIXTY ra one point
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: oh seven, whip that's not bad at. All fifteen to
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: three strike at walk ratio is not bad, either and
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: he's a lot fewer than one hit per.
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: Innings so he's actually been. Good and he's.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: Done that Against milwaukee on the, Road toronto And. BALTIMORE
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: i Know toronto's got a bunch of offensive, injuries but, STILL
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: i mean these are not like extremely weak offenses that
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: he's facing, Year so he actually has been pretty good
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: Against Tampa, bay though not so good in twenty two
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: at bats is a small. Sample maybe he's found something
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: and he's better this, year so maybe he can ignore
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: these numbers a, bit but they're not good. Numbers five
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: to four strike out walk ratio against, them three eighteen
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: batting average, allowed nine to sixty nine. Ops those numbers
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: are still not looking too. GOOD i THINK i would
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: go over in this. Game that would be my preference.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: PROBABLY i think both pitchers could be kind of fadeable.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: HERE i KNOW i don't love either offense here, obviously
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: especially not The White, sox but with this, setup with these,
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: BULLPENS i think you could see some runs again in this.
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: One the total is definitely a manageable one at, eight
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: and it's actually gone down a, bit although we see
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: sixty seven percent of tickets ninety nine percent of the
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: cash on the. OVER i don't know how to read
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: that cash, percentage BUT i like the over.
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: In that.
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: One that would be my. Preference the money's coming in
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: On Tampa, bay which is. Insane they're minus one thirteen
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: seventy percent of tickets eighty six percent of the cash on.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: THEM i don't agree with. THAT i would lean to
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: The White. Sox they have the more trustworthy starter, here you,
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: KNOW i don't even. Know MAYBE i would limit it
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: to first five just to avoid that horrendous bullpen that
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: The White sox. Have But Tampa bay's bullpen hasn't been good,
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: either SO i don't. KNOW i think getting The White
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: sox at a little bit of an underdog price again
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: with the more trustworthy starter on the, mount in my,
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: opinion that might be worth a. Look even those matchup
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: numbers aren't that. GOOD i THINK i would lean that,
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: way BUT i THINK i probably prefer over in that.
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: One oh, man we're at an hour in and we
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: still have a bunch of baseball to talk. About oh,
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: boy yesterday it was like a two hour, show all,
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: Right and we still have one more play and the
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: market doesn't agree with with. It so that's, great fading the, Market,
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: baby it's not this next Game toronto And. Milwaukee that
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: game did not stay under yesterday tho they did go
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: to extra, innings so it wasn't.
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: As bad as it. Looked but, YEAH i.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: APOLOGIZE i did not add that to my card, though
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: so you know THAT i felt it wasn't as.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: Strong BUT i liked the under in that game that didn't.
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Happen the under first five innings was, closer BUT i
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: think that still went. Over maybe it Pushed, actually let
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: me say what happened in this. GAME i know it
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: went to extra, innings THOUGH i want to see.
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: The box score.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: Here, yeah so we had four runs come across in
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: the tenth and five came across in the. Ninth so
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: if you had the, under you really kind of got
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: screwed in that, game you, know because that was what
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: was the score at that but it was four to
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: two going into the ninth, inning even though that didn't
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: give you that much, leeway but still you kind of
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: got screwed because two runs were needed in the.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: Ninth inning to get that thing.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: OVER i, think, so, yeah first five if you found a,
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: four you were able to push the first five at.
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: Least but, yeah not.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: Great but that game was not anywhere near as high
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: scoring as it really looks like a ton of runs
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: came home. Late we got to get rid of the
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: ghost runner. Man, anyway in this, game if you look
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: at the bullpen, usage it's going to be high because
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: it was an extra inning. Game toronto used five relief
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: pitchers in that. Game miwaukee also used, Five so the
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: bullpens are probably, fadable, fadable or you'll probably want to
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: fade them in this. One toronto has not had a
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: very good bullpend this. Year they're at seventeenth in, whip
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: which is not very. Good their era is pretty bad as.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: Well brewers have really fallen off whip. Wise they're down
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: at twenty, first even though the era is a bit more.
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: Manageable neither of these bullpens have really been that.
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: Good hitting. Wise The brewers have been pretty. Good there's.
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: Sixth toronto's been dealing with some, injuries but their offense
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: is still pretty capable in their twelfth so this game
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: is looking like maybe there might be some runs coming
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: home in this one, late at least in this, game
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: don't cease his pitching for The Blue. Jays he's got
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: a really nice looking two point four to FIVE, Era
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: BUT i got my questions with, him. Man as you,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: know he's got a pretty bad whip at one point
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: four to, three and THAT i think is more indicative
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: because that tells you how many guys are you putting on.
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: Base ceas is still having the same, Problems, Man these
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: problems don't cease to. Exist he's very inefficient with his.
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: Pitches he gets up close to one hundred pitches in
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: five innings basically every single. Start he's got a good strikeout,
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: rate but it's almost too. High twenty six strikeouts in
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: fourteen to two. Thirds you're throwing too many, pitches. Man
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: and he's got nine. WALKS i, mean, overall that ratio
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: looks pretty, good but in the amount of, innings that
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: is a high walk. Number and he hasn't been that.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: Hittable he's a lot fewer than one hit per, inning
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: but the walk number is. Insane he's putting way too
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: many guys on base via the, walk even though he's
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: got really really huge strikeout. Stuff, AGAIN i don't think
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: that's good. ENOUGH i think he's worse than he looks right.
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: Now his numbers against The brewers are actually good, though
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: in sixty one a bats twenty to, seven strikeout walk
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: ratio two thirty average allowed six to twenty oh.
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: Ps that's not bad at. All maybe he'll do well
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: in this. Game he is going up.
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: Against Chad, patrick who is kind of under the. Radar
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: his numbers are a little bit weird this year. Though
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: point seven to three era really good but obviously, unsustainable
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: and one point three eight whip indicates that HIS era
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: should be like four.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: Something that's not a good whip at.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: All his strikeout walk rate ratio is pretty bad seven to.
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: Five he's not really a strikeout.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: Guy that's in twelve and a third, innings but he's
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: allowed one hit per inning. Basically with the five walks
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: on top of, that that's not. Great three of them
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: came Against Kansas, city, Though but he's put together three
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: kind of manageable starts. Here but the problem is he
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: hasn't got deep into some of these, starts AND i
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: don't know what happened in his most recent.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Start he had three shutout.
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: Innings Against washington and then they took him out at
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: fifty pitches A i'm not sure what happened in that.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: Game he had one walk.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: In no, strikeouts which isn't, good but you think they
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: would have left him.
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: IN i don't know what that, was SO i don't.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: Know it's hard to Gauge patrick, here but he is
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: unfamiliar To, toronto so he might have a little bit
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: of an extra edge, here because when these young pitchers
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: that do have some talent are unknown to the starting
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: hitters or to the opposing, HITTERS i, mean the pitcher
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: usually does have a bit of an extra. Advantage they're
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: only one for six off and two of their hitters
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: has seen him. Before they only hit His Jesus sanchez.
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: Single they have one, strikeout no walks against, them but
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: again very small, sample but he is unfamiliar to.
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: Them Now, MILWAUKEE i.
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: Believe they're looking for a sweep or, no excuse, Me
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: milwaukee not looking or excuse, me Not. TORONTO i was
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: gonna Say toronto's looking for a, sweep but that's not the.
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: Case But milwaukee has lost six games in a, ROW i,
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: think is WHAT i was, Thinking so they're looking to
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: end this losing. Streak, still in every one of these,
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: games they're a, Favorite i'm pretty, sure except for maybe
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: the ones At, boston but all the home games they
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: were a favorite and they've lost to all of. Them
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: milwaukee's not as bad as, that AND i think this
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: might be a bounce back spot From milwaukee, here, man
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: you're actually Getting milwaukee is an underdog at, home AND
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: i Know cees has decent numbers against, him but he's
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: not as good as people think he, is and maybe
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: he shouldn't be a road favorite in a game like. This,
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: Man SO i Think milwaukee they're gonna break out of
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: this slump at some. Point it might be, here but
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: the money is going. On the money's coming in On toronto.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: HERE i don't really agree with it. Though toronto's up
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: to minus won twenty three sixty eight percent of the
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: cash on, them fifty two percent of the tickets On.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: Milwaukee it is a low. Total it's seven and a,
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: half WHICH i don't. Agree, YEAH i think the game's
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: gonna go. OVER i, mean with the bullpen situation that's. There,
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: YEAH i, mean i'd probably lean, over even though USUALLY
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: i lean under those low, totals BUT i just don't
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: see it in this. CASE i also Think cease is
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: not as good as his erra would. Suggest patrick probably
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: also not as good as his ra would, Suggest so
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: over makes some sense in this. Game BUT i Like
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: milwaukee and the money's disagreeing with. It, MAN i think
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: this might be the spot Where milwaukee breaks out of the.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: Slump LIKE i, said getting them is a home dog
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: with a starting pitcher that's unfamiliar to the opposing hitters
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: against a starting pitcher WHO i think is overrated In.
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: Cease so, yeah that's that would be my.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: Opinion in that, Game colorado At, Houston colorado was able
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: to kind of back to or that run line part
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: of the bet. Yesterday at Least, houston, though they were
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: able to break a long losing stre so a lot
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: of times when a team breaks out of a losing
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: streak like, that it will.
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: Give them momentum moving.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: Forward And houston was the better team in the game last,
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: night and they did get a little bit of a,
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: Scare SO i think it is a positive spot For
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: houston to show up with a focused effort here at
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: the very. Least as far as the, bullpens both these
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: bullpens are pretty. BAD i think both games of the
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: series have gone over so, far, right so this has
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: definitely Been oh, no why DO i think it's two
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: games of this. Series it's only been. One but, yes
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: it did go. Over so this does seem like kind
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: of an over type of series, here over type of,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: matchup even though it's not at course. Field houston used
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: five relief pitchers just. Today that's not. Good colorado only used.
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: Three but neither bullpen is very. Good houston's is the
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: worst in baseball right now based on a lot of the,
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: metrics they've been. Awful colorado has actually been better bullpen.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: Wise there's somewhere middle of the pack right. Now, yeah they're,
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: eleventh so give them. Credit their bullpend hasn't been as.
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: Bad So i'll actually Give colorado a bullpen edge in this,
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: game BUT i don't think it's that. SIGNIFICANT i don't
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: like either bullpen. Here houston's been really good on. Offense
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: they're second still in. Ops colorado started out, hot but
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: they've fallen a. BIT i don't think their offense is
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: very good on the, Road they're really not that good
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: typically if you're looking at like the last few years
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: the Way colorado's, played which makes sense. Anyway corps is
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: more of a hitter friendly Park. Colorado there's seventeenth in
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: ops right, now not a great. Offense Jose quintana will
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: pitch For colorado. Here i'd already forgotten about. Him he
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: made one start this season and then he got, hurt
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: and now he's coming. BACK i, mean he's a, veteran
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: so he's definitely used to, This SO i don't know
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: if he's gonna really be thrown off by coming back from.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: INJURY i think he'll be ready to get back out.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: There but his first start was a little bit. Questionable
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: he's got a four point one five, year one point
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: eighty five. Whip he walked four guys in four and
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: a third innings in that out and that was really
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: the main problem.
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: There Against, miami the walk number was really.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: Bad but he actually had a pretty good season last
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: YEAR i think With. Milwaukee So, KINTANA i, mean he's
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: still giving it a go out.
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: There.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: Man he's not a hard, thrower so you don't really
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: have to worry about his velocity having fallen off throughout
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: his career or.
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: Whatever he's a guy that.
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: Relies on command and control and placing the pitches correctly and.
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: Whatever Against, houston his numbers are Okay in sixty six
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: career at, bats fourteen to two strike a walk race,
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: here two seventy three batting average, allowed six seventy three.
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: Ops those numbers are not, bad AND i think he
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: might do okay. HERE i think he might be pumped
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: to get back out there after having to deal with
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: another injury. There obviously they think he's ready to get
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: him back out. There and, again he's been in the
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: league for, forever so he's not going to be intimidated
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: or anything like.
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: That he's used to. This Whereas Spencer arraghetti is pitching For,
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: houston it looks like he h what is He jesus?
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: Now he looks like he hasn't caught his hair since
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: since since last, year which is the last time he
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: pitched in the. Majors he hasn't pitched since last, Year
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: so he might be the one that has the nerves
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: on him, man because he's still a young guy and
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: he hasn't pitched since last.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: SEASON i think he got hurt or.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: Something his career numbers aren't really very, good, though four
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: point six to ninety one point four whip is way too.
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: High his problem is his walk rate is unbelievably, high
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: like his strikeout rate is really. Good he comes in
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: there and he blows people. Away he has good STRIKEOUTS,
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: uf but his walk number is incredibly. High he walks
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: way too many, guys so that's his. Issue he throws,
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: hard he's. Wild now he might not be quite. READ i,
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: mean obviously they think he's. Ready i'm sure he pitched
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: in the miners this. YEAR i decided not to play
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: the game, anyway SO i didn't look at what his
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: numbers looked like in the. MINERS i, mean if you
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: want to go do, that you can go find that
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: on multiple different. Sites but, again his first start of
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: The majors since somewhere in the middle of last. Year
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: he might be a little bit shakier Than. Kintana SO
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: i Think, Kintana i've talked about this, before right on the.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: SHOW i Think kitana has a little bit of an
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: advantage because he does have one start under his belt this,
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: season Whereas araghetty, doesn't And katana has more experience obviously
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: way more now ragedy against The, rockies his numbers are good,
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: though sixteen at bats four to one strike at walk
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: ratio one eighty eight batting average allowed for eighty five.
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: Ops so he has done well Against colorado in the.
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: Past what do we do with this? GAME i don't
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: want anything to do with, it but the money is
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: pretty heavily indicating On, Colorado so do with that information
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: what you. Want even THOUGH i KNOW i did say
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: it's kind of a bounce not really a bounce, back
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: but kind of a new momentum situation For. HOUSTON i
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: don't know IF i agree With houston in this. Game
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: the price is pretty high at minus one seventy nine
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: given how bad their bullpen, is and you could make
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: the argument That kintana has an edge Over aragedty LIKE
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: i just. Did you could definitely make the Argument colorado
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: has the better. Bullpen, Well i've made that argument last,
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: night and you know we've got the push on the
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: game last. Night but you could do a similar thing
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: and make a plus one run line With. Colorado here
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: sixty seven percent of tickets On, houston fifty three percent
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: of the cash On. COLORADO i kind of lean that
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: way as. Well i'm not gonna disagree with the market
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: in that. ONE i don't hate it in that, one all.
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: Right seattle At San diego, first you, know first instinct
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: when you See seattle in San diego is these two
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: teams pitch. Well this is a pitcher friendly park no
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: matter which one of these teams is the home. Team
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: so like my mind is just like under makes sense
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: in a game like, this it might in this game as.
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: Well San diego won the game last night four to.
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: One they're pretty hot right. Now they won a bunch
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: of games in a. Row their hitting has gotten a bit,
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: better although it's still middle of the. Pack both these
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: offenses started out really. Cold San diego's turned it around
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: a bit. More both these offenses do have, talent, though
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: But seattle has struggled offensively so.
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: Far there's on the bottom. Third San diego has moved
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: up to the middle of the.
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: PACK i Think San diego is kind of a mediocre
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: to good, OFFENSE i would, say BUT i Think seattle also.
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: Is they just haven't turned it around.
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: Yet both bullpens are in the top three In whip,
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: now so AND i don't disagree that both bullpens are very.
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: Good SO i think we know that we have good.
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: Bullpens offense is maybe a little bit. Questionable San diego
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: used three relief pitchers. Yesterday seattle done a really good
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: job at managing their bullpen this. Year their bullpens seems
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: to always be, rested which maybe you, know makes their
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: numbers a bit better than maybe they should. Be but even,
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: so they got some talent in that. Bullpen they're usually. Rested,
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: good good bullpend management and. Whatever from This seattle. Team
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: they only use one relief pitcher, yesterday is WHAT i
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: was trying to. Say so both bullpens look pretty good
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: coming into this. One Emerson hancock is pitching For. Seattle
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: he's off to a good start this.
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: Season.
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: MAN i, mean he's a guy that came in with
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: some hype and he hasn't really lived up to the
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: hype at. All like his career numbers aren't that, good
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: but this season can't really argue with what he's done
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: this season two point zero FOUR, era zero point seven
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: to four.
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: WOMEN i, MEAN i guess the only argument.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: Would be he hasn't pitched that much, yet but he's
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: got a nineteen to three strikeout walk ratio and only
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: ten hits allowed in seventeen to two thirds.
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: Innings all those numbers are.
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: GOOD i guess the one other argument you could make
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: is he's getting.
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: A little bit.
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: Worse he just had his worst start of the season so.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: Far Against, houston he only lasted five, innings did hold
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: them still to three earned runs and still picked up
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: a win in that, outing and then.
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: Five strikeouts two.
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: Walks houston's been hitting really well this, year SO i
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: don't think that was really that bad of an. Outing
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: and Against San, diego he's seen them a bit and
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: he has good numbers against them for the most. Part
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: thirty two at bats three to two strike out walk ratio.
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: Is not that, good but two nineteen.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: Batting average allowed six to zero eight batting or ops
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: six that would be. Ridiculous batting average six oh eight.
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: Ops those are good numbers Against San. Diego SO i
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: think maybe we can actually Trust handcock. Here maybe we
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: have to change our opinions on both guys Because Randy
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: vasquez is pitching For San diego, here he. Can't he's
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: a guy that is still pretty, young and he's got
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: some upside as. Well And i've talked about how he
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: walks way too many.
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: Guys AND i just think that he kind of.
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: Stinks BUT i might have to change change my thoughts
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: about him, man because he is starting to pitch better
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: AND i can't really argue with his numbers one point
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: oh TWO era one point oh eight with this. SEASON i,
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: Mean i'll argue that THAT era is unsustainably, low but
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: looking at his, numbers they've been good this, season similar
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: To hancock in seventeen to two thirds, innings nineteen, strikeouts four,
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: walks fifteen hits. Allowed none of that is, bad and
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: he doesn't seem to be, regressing like you, know on
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: the wrong trajectory or.
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: Whatever he's been.
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: Pretty solid in all three, starts so, yeah he's off
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: to a good. Start and Against, seattle they really haven't
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: seen much of. Them they only have three hitters have
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: ever faced him, before and the majority of it Is
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: Brendan donovan who's two ar eight off him with a
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: triple uh That they only have nine at bats total
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: against him with a two twenty two batting, average one,
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: strikeout two. Walks Josh naylor does have two walks against
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: him and an eight to EIGHT.
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: Ops so, overall, YEAH i think you have two good.
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: BULLPENS i think you have two starting pitchers where the
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: public is gonna look and these are not name, pitchers
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: let's just put it that.
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: Way the public is not gonna want.
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: Them like playing under in this, game with the with
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: a pitching matchup with these. Names BUT i think the
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: under does make sense in this. GAME i think, again
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: you have two starters that have looked good so far
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: of the. Season bullpens are, good it's a pitcher friendly.
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: Ballpark the offenses are a bit in question right. NOW
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: i like the under. Here the total is at. Eight
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: it's actually gone, up so the money's actually disagreeing with.
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: Me BUT i think under makes sense.
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: Here seventy five percent of, tickets ninety nine percent of
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: the cash on the over total up to, eight so
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: you're getting it above that key.
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: Number seven and a half.
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: There do it this information what you want and the
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: money is coming in On San diego for what that's.
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: Worth they flip to him minus one eleven. Favorite sixty
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: one percent of tickets are On. Seattle so the public
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: still Want seattle because they have that perception of having
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: the better, offense which isn't even true this season so.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Far and you, know because of the Oh seattle hud
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: all the hype coming into the season. Again they made
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: The alcs last year almost won that you know, Whatever,
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: uh fifty percent of the cash On San diego, THOUGH
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: i don't really have a reason to. DISAGREE i, mean
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: does look Like. Hancock you could make the argument that
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: he is on the wrong trajectory a little, bit with
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: his worst start being the most recent. One you don't
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: really see that With vazquez right. Now So i'm not
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: going to really disagree with The San diego side, there
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: BUT i think under is the WAY i prefer. There
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: and speaking of going against the, market we're doing it
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: in this last. Game this last game is the best
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: Bet texas at The A's and this is a rarity for.
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: Me where we're gonna have two overs.
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: Today we're gonna go over In texas and the Homeless a's.
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: Here this, ONE i know is above that key number
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: nine and a Half, ALREADY i saw the nine and
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: a half out there at minus one, fourteen minus one.
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: Fifteen that's probably WHAT i would do if you want
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: to go the over. Ten it's really not that much
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: of a difference because the key number is. Nine so
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: if this number gets a little bit too, high LIKE
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: i would not lay minus one twenty.
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: Just to get nine and a half instead of, ten.
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: You know WHAT i, Mean there's like no difference between
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: those two numbers because the key numbers are all the odd,
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: numbers SO i would just move up to going with
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: ten at the better price if it was.
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: At minus one.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: Twenty BUT i think this game has a lot to
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: it where it might go. OVER i, mean first of,
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: all we're in The a's The TRIPLE A. Stadium The
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: a's playing In, sacramento which everybody knows is a very
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: hit or friendly, environment so we start off with. That,
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: yeah it looks like it should be over type of game.
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: HERE i wanted to see the. Weather we don't really
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: see what the weather looks like. HERE i wanted to
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: see how warm it's gonna be In Sarah, sistom because
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: warmth helps the overs as. Well yesterday's game was a
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: two to one. Game the first game barely got over
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: the eight and a half THAT i thought was a low.
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: Total so both games so far in the series have
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: gone under this.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: Total it might make people shy away from this, total
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: BUT i, mean, dude, dude we're still looking at a
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: very hit or friendly ballpark, here AND i think the
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: pitching was actually more conducive to an under than you
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: would think in those last two games where we Had
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: evaldi gave us a good start in that first game
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: and then last night Was gore Against. Springs, DUDE i
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: THINK i MENTIONED i kind of thought the under was
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: the possibility in that game. YESTERDAY i believe those pitchers
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: both were pretty. Good that's not what we're looking at
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: here in this pitching matchup.
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: Here.
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: Now texas is bulpen is, good SO i know we
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: have to dodge, that BUT i think if the starter
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: For texas does not make get that, far we're okay
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: fading their bullpen. Here they used four relief, pitchers, Yes,
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: toda though granted they only use two of them for
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: very few, pitches but still there's a little bit of
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: usage there in The texas. Bullpen The a's bullpen is
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: just not good and they use four relief pitchers as,
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: well Though alvarado for one. Pitch but, WHATEVER i think both,
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: bullpens you, know the way that we're factoring this into the, Game,
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: like first of, all The a's bullpen is. Fadable they're
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: the twenty third best bullpen and whip which is. Bad
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: they're a bad. Bullpen texas is a good, bullpen they're ninth.
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: Best but, AGAIN i think we could fade them here
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: in this game as, well just BECAUSE i think the
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: bullpen might have to get more usage than they would want,
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: here and they're not totally.
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: Rested LIKE i, said.
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: When you go over AND i never do over first
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: five innings really BECAUSE i think if it goes over first,
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: FIVE i think it's cascading into the, bullpens you know
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: WHAT i. Mean Kumar rockers pitching for The. RANGERS i
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: still don't really trust this. Guy four point five yrras
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: so far this year isn't too. Bad one point four
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: whip is not exactly. Good he's still not looking that good.
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: Man ten innings, pitched eight strikeouts is not even that
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: high of a strikeout. Rate three, walks eleven hits, allowed
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: two home runs allowed five and runs.
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: Less so the other thing is the home runs have
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: been a.
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: Problem he's allowed more fly balls than ground balls, here
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: a couple of home. Runs last year he allowed a
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: lot of home, Runs SO i think he's definitely fatable.
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: Here THOUGH i know we're looking at The a's here
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: and not The dodgers who he faced in the last,
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: game but, still you look at what his numbers are
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: against The, a's those aren't. GOOD i know it's a
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: very small seventeen at bats sample, size but they've raked
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: against him two, strikeouts one, walk five eighty eight batting
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: average of fourteen to thirty five. OPS i know that's unsustainably,
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: ridiculous but, still.
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: He has not done well against.
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: Them and he pitched in this ballpark last, year so,
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: yeah that means he's used to. It but it was
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: an atrocious start in this. Ballpark he went one and two.
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: Thirds he allowed five earned runs on seven, hits and then,
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: hilariously the bullpen didn't allow anything after he was out
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: of the, game which hopefully that doesn't happen, here but
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: that's highly. Unlikely it was an awful start for him
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: in that, Game so his start against them in that
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: game wasn't. GOOD i guess that was his only start
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: against The a's last year as, Well so, yeah but
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: The a's at least did have that one game where
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: they did face him last, year and he was not
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: Good in this, Environment he's going up against J. T
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: gin who is to, me he's not like a full fledged.
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: Starter his numbers look pretty good, here BUT i think
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: he's mostly worked out of the. Bullpen three point two
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: SEVENTY r point nine one whip good, Numbers, yeah but you,
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: know not a high strike got. Rate eight strikeouts in eleven,
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: innings hasn't allowed a lot of. Hits seven, hits that's.
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: Fine three walks is a little bit. HIGH i don't
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: think he's that. Good and if you look at his
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: numbers this, season just his relief appearances by, far his
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: two worst appearances were both in this, stadium like his
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: appearances on the, road were both scoreless appearances where he went.
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: Longer at, home he went two innings and one in
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: the third, innings both Against. Houston THOUGH i know they've hit,
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: well they're a better offense Than, texas but still he
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: allowed touring runs in each of those, outings like. Easily
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: his worst two outings were his home outings this, year
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: so that's not. GOOD i don't think he pitches well
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: in this, ballpark and we can figure that out because
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: he was pitching in this ballpark last year and at
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: home he had a six point eight FIVE vr compared
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: to three point one to four on the. Road so
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: he was abysmal at home last, year and he allowed
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: twelve home runs on the road in almost the same excuse,
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: me abysmal at home and allowed twelve home runs at
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: home and almost the same amount of innings that he
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: allowed five in on the, road so he was allowing home.
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: Runs that's not good.
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: Either, yeah even though he has a decent ground ball,
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: rate but he was still allowing a lot of home
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: runs in this one in this, Park so that's not.
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: Good And texas is seen him for forty four at.
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: Batsworth he doesn't have good numbers against. Him five to five,
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: strego walk ratio, three forty, one batting average one thirteen.
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: Ops those are all bad. Numbers so these, pitchers they
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: have not pitched well in this. Stadium they don't have
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: good matchup numbers against these opposing. HITTERS i think that
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: might cascade into the. BULLPENS i don't know If gin's
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: gonna last in this game that. Long, anyway The a's,
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: bullpen at the very least is not good hitter friendly.
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: Ballpark we'll do, it we'll go over in this, one
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: but the money is not agreeing with. Me total sitting
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: at nine and have you might actually be able to
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: get a better number on this seventy eight percent of
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: the tickets on the over and eighty three percent of
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: the casual on the. Under what is going? On the
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: money's coming on in the? Under, OBVIOUSLY i don't agree
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: with that over the, Total, yeah is my recommendation. Here
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: that's my last. Play maybe it's the weakest of the,
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: three but we're going with. It the market's not always
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: gonna be, right ALTHOUGH i don't really like fading the,
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: market but LIKE i, SAID i find myself doing that
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: more in baseball than any other. Sport, really the markets
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: still agree with me on the red sox for what that's,
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: worth and then we don't really see good numbers on
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: the other over THAT i have. Here, yeah very difficult
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: to gauge. Anyway as far as the side is. Concerned
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: in this, game the money is indicating on The a's
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: for what that's.
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: WORTH i don't have a strong opinion on.
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: That sixty percent of the tickets are On texas and
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: fifty four percent of the cash on the.
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: A's a's up to minus one p.
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: Fifteen if you want to make the argument That ginn
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: is more used to pitching in this stadium Than rocker,
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: is And rocker got rocked in the, STADIUM i could
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: see that argument being, made but, YEAH i don't feel
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: that strongly about that at.
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: ALL i like the. Over that's where we're.
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: Going and then the final game Is mets And dodgers ON,
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: espn and THEN i might take a quick, break and
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: then we really don't have that much to talk about after,
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: this just, hockey WHICH i have nothing, in and THEN
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: Nba i'm skipping as. Well but at least it's playing
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: stuff which is interesting at the very. LEAST i guess
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: now this is the end of the series here and
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: The mets still have not been able to break out
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: of the. Slump they've lost seven games in a. Row,
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: NOW i thought they'd be able to do it yesterday
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: With noan McLain on the momb but it WAS i
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: thought it was a pitching matchup in that game as.
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: Well the game did go way under McClain Against, yamamoto
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: but The mets lost the game late in the. GAME
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: i think it was like an eighth, inning eighth inning
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: run that gave The dodgers the win last.
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: Night that's kind of a brutal way to lose for The.
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: Mets SO i don't like that because The mets might
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: be a little bit hungover after the way they lost
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: that game and they should have had that. Win, however
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: you know they're still going to show up and try
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: to win this game because they're trying to break this
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: long losing.
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: Streak they don't want to.
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: Get swept, here so there is still that The dodgers
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: might just take them lightly after beating them twice. Already
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: but then, again you know they had a little bit
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: of a scary but it's still a.
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: Big win when you beat The.
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: METS i don't really see The dodgers looking ahead To, colorado,
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: THOUGH i don't think they really care about that looking
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: at this match up, Here dodgers have been pretty good
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: bullpen why so farut of this year, sixth The mets are.
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: EIGHTH i think The mets might have a slightly better bullpen,
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: though but The dodgers definitely have improved a lot from
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: last year's, bullpen which was their one main. Weakness dodgers'
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: offense is the. Elite we know, this we DON'T i
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: really go into. That The mets offense has been terrible this,
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: year BUT i think they're clearly better than.
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: That but they've been dealing with injuries and stuff like.
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: That but either, way you got to give The dodgers
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: a hitting, edge but it's probably not as significant as
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: maybe the numbers would. Suggest right, Now Clay holmes is
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: pitching for The. Mets he has good numbers so far
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: out of this, year but you, Know i'm not a.
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: Fan one point five, yra one point one to one,
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: whip those are good. Numbers but if you dive into
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: his other, numbers twelve to eight strike a walk, ratio
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: that IS i, mean come, on that's not. Good he's
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: only allowed twelve hits in eighteen, innings so that is.
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: Good he hasn't been very, hittable but.
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: Eight walks is.
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: Insane you can't walk that many, guys, man along with
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: not striking a strikecking out a lot of.
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: Guys, again it's him And David.
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: Peterson, man they get all these ground, balls and it
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: throws me off because yet Again holmes is inducing all
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: these ground balls and that allows him to get out
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: of a lot of these.
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: Jams or he's putting these guys on.
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: Base but, still when you put guys on, base you
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: know they're gonna score a lot of the.
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: Time but you can't just keep like getting out of.
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: Jams excuse, ME i was about to.
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: SNEEZE i THINK i stopped it, though all right, Anyway,
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: uh But holmes does have pretty good numbers against The.
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: Dodgers believe it or not in thirty seven at bast
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: twelve seven straight out walk ratio one sixty two average,
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: allowed five point thirty nine ohps.
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: Allowed, again it's too.
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: Many walks, Though so again this is Very holmes esque
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: where he allows he's solving. Mysteries, man he is a, mystery,
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: actually Mister. Holmes, YEAH i mean it's too many. Walks
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: still against The, dodgers that's a bad. Ratio but again
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: he hasn't allowed them many hits to. Them but, again
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: if you keep putting guys on, base even if they
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: don't score as much against you as they do against other,
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: people still.
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: Like you're more likely to give up runs by putting
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: guys on base than by not doing. It you know
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: WHAT i. Mean it's.
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: Ridiculous so you can't keep putting that many guys on.
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: Base Sho Hey otani is pitching for The dodgers. Year
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: he has a ZERO era and two starts this year
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: in a point seventy five.
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: Whip we know he's pretty.
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: Good does have an eight to four strike a walk,
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: Ratio So vardos who he has walked too many, Guys
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: but maybe you give him a pass because it was
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: a shaky first. Start maybe where he walked three guys
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: but still one hit The indians in that, outing so
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: that's not even that. Bad he's only allowed five hits
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: in twelve. Innings he's allowed one run.
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: And it was.
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: Unearned he's been, good no doubt about. It up against The,
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: mets The mets have not really seen much of. Him
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: The mets only have thirty six at bats. Against only
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: three of their heroes have seen him before fifteen to
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: five strike, out walk razio two twenty two average allowed
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: and six fifty, ops so The mets are pretty unfamiliar with,
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: him except For bobaschett Because bobashett did see him in
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: The World series and. Whatever bashett has had some success
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: off him three for eight with a home, run three,
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: walks three, strikeouts but other than, that they have not
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: had success Against otani and most of the hitters have
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: never faced him.
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: Before SO i Think otani does have a decent match up.
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: HERE i think he.
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: MATCHED i think he's the better of the two pitchers
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: Against Clay. Holmes but the money is fading The dodgers
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: because they're at minus two pH seven down for minus
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: two to twenty eighty nine percent of the tickets and
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: seventy four percent of the cash on The, Dodgers so
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: the money is saying to take The mets. Here and
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: WHILE i agree The mets should be motivated to avoid
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: the sweep and break this losing.
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: STREAK i don't like the match up.
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: HERE i DON'T i Think otani should Outpitch homes in this.
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: ONE i, MEAN i think if you lean that way
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: towards The, dodgers you, know maybe first five inning makes more.
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: SENSE i haven't looked at the bullpen, usage. Though let
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: me Say mets only use one relief pitcher, Yesterday dodgers
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: only used two OLDOUGH i think they might have used
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: their closer because they had to finish it off in
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: the ninth inning last. Night, YEAH i, mean maybe you
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: could still go full game, though because The dodgers' bullpen
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: is still pretty. Rested they haven't been that bad this.
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: YEAR i still lean to The dodgers in this. One,
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: MAN i just don't see It homes Versus. Otani the
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: situation and the motivation does kind of Say mets. HERE
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: i have to try to get that to coincide with
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: the matchup, though and it's, just, YEAH i can't figure
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: it out in that one so the money's looking like
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: it's coming in slightly towards the over in that game as,
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: well you know WHAT i, Mean maybe the better way
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: to do this is to Go you could Go dodgers
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: over their team, totals BECAUSE i don't Trust, homes but
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: he does have decent numbers against The, dodgers so there is.
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: THAT i don't, know, MAN i just don't want anything
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: to do with the, game, Obviously but those are my
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: thoughts on. It you can try to parse my words,
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: there but OBVIOUSLY i don't feel strongly about that game
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: in any particular. Way we're gonna talk ABOUT nhl in a.
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: Second i'll be right, back and then we do HAVE.
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: Nba it's not gonna be very interesting really BECAUSE nhl
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: we're at the end of the season where there's not
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: a whole lot of motivation to talk.
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: About.
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: Here i'm skipping the rest of, this but we will
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: talk about all these games in a. Second all, right
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: we got A nhl, here.
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: We have what it's a six GAMES i. THINK i, mean,
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: again none of.
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: These games are really that interesting because the motivation just
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: isn't really there and the playoff field is pretty much settled.
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: HERE i got the standings up just to double check,
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: it and teams are gonna be looking ahead to the.
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: Playoffs like in this first Game dallas And.
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: Buffalo, buffalo we already know they're gonna play The bruins
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: because The bruins won.
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: Last, Night so at least The bruins get to Avoid.
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: Caroline maybe The bruins have a shot Against Buffalo. Dallas
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: we know they're playing The wild in the first round,
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: two so both these teams already know who their first
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: round opponent is gonna.
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: Be this game's ON Tnt Hrio Max.
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: True, NOW i Think dallas is the better of these two.
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: Teams buffalo kind of came from out of nowhere this.
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: Year dallas is very much a staple. Here but, again
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: how do we handygat this. Game we don't even really
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: know what motivation is gonna be. Here dallas is coming
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: up Beating toronto the other, night which was a game
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: Where dallas actually had to come back in that. Game
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: toronto was beating them five to, THREE i, think And
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: dallas came back and won the. Game maybe you could
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: argue that was a. Scare De smith was in net
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: there so Probably. Oughtnger we'll get the start here just
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: to get them ready for the playoffs and. Whatever buffalo
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: Beat chicago in a blowout five to, one so, yeah
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: you know, WHAT i would slightly lean Towards dallas in
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: this game for that. Reason buffalo looks public here for some.
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: Reason ninety, tickets ninety eight percent of the cash On.
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: BUFFALO i don't really get. It dallas is at minus one.
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: ELEVEN i Think dallas coming up that little bit of
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: a scare bringing their starting goalie back in for this.
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: One buffalo off a, blowout even though it was against
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: the Lowly chicago. Team it is their final home, game
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: so maybe they want to give the fans something here
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: and test themselves Against. Dallas i'm gonna kind of lean
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: Towards dallas. HERE i wouldn't really disagree with an over.
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: Either seventy seven percent of, tickets ninety seven percent of
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: the couch on the, over because when you have two
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: teams with the motivation and question, here you, know you
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: don't really tend to see intense. Defense so that's something
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: to consider as. Well, There, zach what's up? Man, yes
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: the under hit in that game with The royals. Game
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: Your royals lost that game as. WELL i didn't care
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: who won or who. LOST i just wanted it to
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: go Under rangers At Tampa. Bay Tampa, bay you could
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: argue they have something to play for here because it's
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: still not. DECIDED i think it is decided that they're
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: gonna Play. MONTREAL i think maybe that's, YEAH i think
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: that is. Decided yeah we, Know, Yeah buffalo already clinched the.
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: DIVISION i guess wins are two points not. THREE i
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: don't know WHAT i was. Thinking, yeah we already Know
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: buffalo And boston is a first round, matchup SO i
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: think that Means tampa And montreal is a guaranteed first
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: round matchup as. Well but the question is who's hosting?
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: It So Tampa bay currently as the, tiebreaker but they
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: need to win to make sure that they stay at,
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: home which they probably do. Want but does that mean
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: is there gonna be pressure on them?
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: Here?
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: Like what is this game gonna look like The rangers
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: obviously they're done for the, season but they have been
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: better on the. Road maybe they want to try to
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: get a win at the end of the season against
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: a good team. Here they're playing a third road game
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: in the last five, days which isn't that. Great they
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: just lost At, florida so they are playing In. Florida
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: they're already In. Florida the interesting thing, is, Well Tampa
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: bay just Beat. Detroit that was a pretty good win for.
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: THEM i guess will they show up in this? GAME
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: i mean it seems like they should if they want
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: to make sure they get home ice Against, montreal who
- 1:38:53Speaker 1: they just lost, to by the way on the, road
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: and they just lost To montreal at home.
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: Too Although i'm gonna tell.
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: YOU i Like Tampa bay to Beat montreal in that
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: in that, Matchup i'm pretty SURE i think people are
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: gonna be. Misled we'll talk about it when it first,
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: happens But Tampa bay might be a play for me
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: in that uh in the first game in that series
- 1:39:12Speaker 1: or something like.
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: That, anyway what was like a what else WAS i
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: gonna say? Here? Oh? Yeah?
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: Well the other thing to consider is the line is
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: way low, Here Like Tampa bay was gonna be minus
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: two to h, five which makes, sense but now they're
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: minus one thirty. Five so that Means Tampa bay must
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: be resting some of their. Guys but are they really
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: doing that when whole mice is on the. LINE i
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: don't know what's going. On here man the, line it
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: looks way too easy to Play. Tampa But, THOLSO i
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: don't THINK i could do. That fifty eight percent of,
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: tickets eighty percent of the cash On. Tampa money looks
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: like it is coming in On. Tampa they are the
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: one team here with something to actually technically still play for.
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: HERE i don't know why the line is where it,
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: is THOUGH i really. Don't it probably Means vasilevsky is
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: not gonna be in net for. Them uh, yeah it'll
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: probably Be. JOHANSSON i, Mean vesilevsky usually plays a few
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: games in a.
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: Row they might want to get.
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: HIM i guess rested for the playoffs at this point
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: because he played in the previous.
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: GAME i don't.
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: KNOW i don't know what's going on in this, game
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: but even if he was not, playing you'd think the
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: line would be higher than. This i'm confused by. It
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: i'm passing on the Game detroit At. Florida detroit might
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: be a bit more disappointed because they just got. ELIMINATED
- 1:40:24Speaker 1: i think they. Might they got eliminated By New jersey
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: and then they came off of that and they actually
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: put in a big effort At Tampa bay and lost in.
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: Overtime So detroit might just have nothing.
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: Left.
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: Man you, know they were that close to maybe making the.
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: Playoffs they put in a final, GASP i think Against Tampa.
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: BAY i Know florida's disappointed because they went back to
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: Back Stanley cups and they're not even making the playoffs this,
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: year but they knew that a while go, now and
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: this is gonna be like a final home game For,
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: Florida SO i Think florida might actually be the side
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: to look at. Here detroit just might not have anything
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: left For this one looks kind of a hangover. Spot
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: florida beat The rangers in their last game in a
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: return home. Spot this is their last game of the.
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: Season they might want to give the fans something to
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: close the season with because they know they're not going
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: to the. PLAYOFFS i Lean florida and this. One all
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: the money is not agreeing with. Me seventy seven percent of,
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: tickets ninety seven percent of the cash On. DETROIT i
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: don't really get, it although again lack of. Motivation very
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: difficult to Gauge detroit up from minus one thirty to
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: minus one fifty, Three so the money's coming in out Of.
- 1:41:26Speaker 2: DETROIT i don't. KNOW i think you're Getting florida.
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: At a decent price here in a very questionable spot For.
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: Detroit Getting florida is a big dog. HERE i WOULDN'T
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: i would not disagree with an over either though sixty
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: two percent of, tickets seventy one percent of the cash
- 1:41:40Speaker 1: on the. Over it's gone up to six again because
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: neither team really has much to play for. Here, well
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: neither team has anything to play for, really so that's
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: the type of game where you tend to get not
- 1:41:51Speaker 1: intense Defense toronto At. Ottawa, toronto they're coming off a tough, game,
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: Man LIKE i, said they had a they had the
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: lead Against dallas five to, three and then they somehow
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: lost the, game so they might be a little.
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: Bit hung over after. That.
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: Man even though these two teams don't like each, other
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: this is the last game of the season For, toronto
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: so you think they try to get up for this.
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: Game ottawa might not pay attention Because ottawa was already
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: in the, playoffs So outa was looking forward to the
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: playoffs at this.
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: Point so it's really a negative spot for both. Teams.
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: THOUGH i Think toronto should show, up but it's gonna
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: be tough to get off the mat after That dallas
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: game where they almost pulled off the big. Upset ottawa
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to prove. Here audo was already locked
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: into the last wild. Card we already Know autawa was Playing.
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: Carolina i'm pretty sure. So and they just Beat carolina
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: in the last game they played against, them by the,
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: Way but, yeah they're not gonna Beat carolina in a
- 1:42:47Speaker 1: seven game. Series i'm. Sorry, Anyway ottawa did just lose
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: to The. Devils this is their final home. Game they've
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: had a couple of days off. Here BUT i don't,
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: know IF i see, IT i Think, Ottawa, yeah they
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: might be looking ahead to the playoffs at this. Point
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: i'm gonna Lean toronto slightly. Here auto is down for
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: minus two to twenty five to minus one to eighty,
- 1:43:06Speaker 1: one seventy two percent of tickets but eighty seven percent
- 1:43:08Speaker 1: of the cash on. Them so it looks like the
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: money is somewhat indicating On. Ottawa but, again LIKE i
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: was talking about With Tampa, bay the money being on,
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: THEM i don't, know could be a little bit. MISLEADING i,
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: mean a lot of it clearly probably just has to
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: do with the, Price like it might just be professional
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: betters coming in and, saying holy, crap that price is
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: like too low at this.
- 1:43:27Speaker 2: Point let's just take some of. It you. Know maybe
- 1:43:30Speaker 2: that's what they're. DOING i don't, know but.
- 1:43:32Speaker 1: Yeah this, GAME i think it over makes sense in
- 1:43:34Speaker 1: This Toronto autawa game. TOO i KNOW i sound like
- 1:43:36Speaker 1: a broken, record but that's how you handicap these lack
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: of motivation. Games sixty percent of, tickets ninety three percent
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: of the cash on the. Over the total is high
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: at six and a. HALF i, agree especially Because toronto's
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: coming up that almost upset Of detroit And autawa might
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: just start looking. Ahead so, YEAH i think over does
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: make sense in that.
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: Game San jose.
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: At chicago, again two teams have nothing to play. For
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: chicago just got blown out By buffalo at. Home maybe
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: they want to put together one final performance here because
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: they've lost three straight home. Games maybe that'll motivate them
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: enough to try to get this win here to finish
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: off the. Season San jose may be a little bit
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: more disappointed because they did get close to making the
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: playoffs and they got eliminated despite winning Against. Nashville the
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: other things didn't go their, way so they got knocked out,
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: anyway they have a game left tomorrow Against, winnipeg WHEREAS
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: i Believe chicago does. Not So chicago might be a
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: little bit more motivated there, too because it's their last.
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: Game that was a big win For San jose Against,
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: nashville so they put in a lot of effort. There
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: we got to win with that game on the. SHOW
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: i Think chicago's the right side on this. One that's
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: the WAY i would lean in this. One, again the
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: market doesn't seem to. Agree seventy percent, tickets ninety one
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: percent of the cash on The. Sharks they're at minus
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: won twenty. Three i'd probably lean, yeah towards Taking chicago
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: as the home dog. Though THAT'S i think WHAT i
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: would do, there and Then seattle At. Vegas vegas actually
- 1:44:59Speaker 1: st something to play. For they could still win their.
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: Division they're currently leading their, division but they need to
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: clinch the division. Still they're two points ahead Of edmonton right,
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: now so there is something to play.
- 1:45:11Speaker 2: For BUT i think they're gonna be over valued in
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: the market.
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: Now seattle might get up for it because it's the
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: last game of the, season they get to play a
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: good team Like, vegas but they Do, actually it's not
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: their last game this.
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: Season my.
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: Mistake they have a game Against colorado next to my.
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: Mistake BUT i Think seattle might get up for a
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: game Against.
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: Vegas the thing, Is vegas might get.
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: Up for this game against them Because vegas lost To
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: seattle In seattle, recently and that was the only loss
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: That vegas has had under The John tortorella era since
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: he came. In they've been a hot team And seattle's
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: the only team that beat, Them so they might want
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: to Get seattle for that reason. Too they might have
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: adjustments to make there because that was a pretty ugly,
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: loss and they clearly are the better, teams so they
- 1:45:55Speaker 1: might actually show up for all these reasons That i'm
- 1:45:57Speaker 1: talking about.
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: Here SO i wouldn't.
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: Want to Fade vegas, here BUT i think you know
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: you're gonna be paying too much of a price For.
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: Vegas threw up to mind is too EIGHTY i mean
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: that is a pretty brutal price. There eighty one percent of,
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: tickets ninety seven percent of the cash on.
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: Them no, way there's no WAY i could do.
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: IT i, mean if you want, TO i don't, know
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: if you want to Go vegas over their team total
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: or something like that just go With vegas to put
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: up some goals in this, game because they should give
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: you an effort hero though usually effort means.
- 1:46:28Speaker 2: Deepfense BUT i don't.
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: KNOW i don't love these team total unders in hockey, either,
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: MAN i don't. Know i'm just not really a totals
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: guy in any sport besides.
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: Baseball. Really. Though we did get.
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: A winner barely in THE nba WHEN i gave out
- 1:46:41Speaker 1: a total the other. Day but, yeah we're passing on
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: this whole, board, man for THE. Nhl let's go to
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: THE nba. Here it'll get more interesting when the playoffs.
- 1:46:50Speaker 1: Start for THE NHL, Nba magic and sixers is the
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: first game. UP i think the reason why the board
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: was flipped last night was because the the seven to eight,
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: GAME i, think is always, first even though it was
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: The West coast game last, night so it was the
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: later game, chronologically but the seven eight game always gets
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: the first listing and whatever you want to call. It
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: in the, rotator they get listed first in the. Rotation
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: it's called the, rotation all, Right magic gets six or
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: six ers or two point, favorite having flipped from a
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: one and a half point. DOG i don't know what
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: caused that move Because Joel embiid is not playing in this.
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: Game i'm pretty sure that's already. Known And bed still
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: recovering from an appendeck to, me so he's not gonna
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: play in this. Game how the money is coming in
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: on The magic fifty three percent of tickets sixty eight
- 1:47:40Speaker 1: percent of the cash on The, MAGIC.
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: I kind of agree with.
- 1:47:45Speaker 1: IT i know this game is In, philadelphia but both
- 1:47:47Speaker 1: teams have playoff experience, Recently they've both been in the playoffs.
- 1:47:50Speaker 1: RECENTLY i think experience is pretty much a wash. Here
- 1:47:55Speaker 1: WHAT i think that people are gonna be focused on
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: is how Did orlando lose to The celtics?
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: Backups you know WHAT i?
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: MEAN i think that's what people are gonna have in their,
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: Heads like they lost to The celtics, backups how could
- 1:48:07Speaker 1: they possibly Beat?
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: Philadelphia you know WHAT i? Mean in a game that.
- 1:48:11Speaker 1: Mattered BUT i think that means That orlando might decide
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: to look at because you know, me when a team
- 1:48:17Speaker 1: loses as a double digit, favorite And orlando was a
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: double digit favorite in that game at The. Celtics when
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: they lose a game like, that a lot of times
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: they will show up with a better effort in the next.
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: Game that might be the, case although then, again playing
- 1:48:32Speaker 1: The celtics is a big, deal even if you're playing their,
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: Backups SO i don't know that gives me a little
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: bit of. Pause philadelphia into the season by Beating indiana And,
- 1:48:40Speaker 1: MILWAUKEE i, mean that's just. Whatever that's not really an
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: indicator of.
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: Anything if we look at the.
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: Regular season matchups, HERE i almost think we could throw
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: all of it out Because philadelphia won the first, matchup.
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: AND i BELIEVE.
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: I think it was LIKE i actually think it was
- 1:48:57Speaker 1: like the full complement of players on The philadelphia. Side,
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: actually let me, see this is In, october, though so
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter that.
- 1:49:02Speaker 2: Much philadelphia won the game at home by double.
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: Digits it looks, like, yeah all the starters were there For,
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: orlando but For philadelphia they didn't have embiid Or.
- 1:49:13Speaker 2: George so what do we even take away from. THAT
- 1:49:16Speaker 2: i have no. Idea And philadelphia still won that game
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: the next.
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: Game orlando blew Out philadelphia At philadelphia in the next,
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: game so they do have the ability to blow them.
- 1:49:28Speaker 1: Out i'm pretty Sure embian And george and maybe Even Edge.
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: COMB i think a lot.
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: Of guys are out of that game For philadelphia, though
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: so AGAIN i don't know how much we could take
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: away from. That that was Around thanksgiving, time and Then
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: philadelphia did. Win the most recent game In, Orlando philadelphia
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: won by double, digits and that, GAME i Think orlando
- 1:49:48Speaker 1: had some injuries. THERE i Think wagner was out for that.
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: One Maybe suggs was out, Too so the load was On.
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: Banchero people call them Bank. Caroro i'm, like that's not, right, Dude.
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: BUNCHEO i don't know. Anyway, YEAH i don't, know. Man
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: SO i Think PHILADELPHIA i, think is two and one
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: Against orlando this. Season BUT i think you just throw
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: it all, out is WHAT i was about to. Say
- 1:50:15Speaker 1: because neither team had their full compliment of players in those.
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: Games SO i don't think we can really gauge anything
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: from any of those. Games i'm gonna lean To orlando
- 1:50:23Speaker 1: though the money is Saying, Orlando i'm not gonna make
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: this a play or anything like, that BUT i Think
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: orlando might be decided to look at.
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: There the money is coming in that.
- 1:50:32Speaker 1: Way, AGAIN i think people are just gonna be making
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: fun of them because of that performance against The. Celtics
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: so that's What i'm gonna go With sixers seem to
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: be a little bit. Discombobulated you, know Without, embiid they're
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: not gonna have that like threat in the, paint WHICH
- 1:50:48Speaker 1: i think that would be a big advantage for The
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: sixers if they had him in, there because The magic
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: don't really have the size to compete with. That but
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: with him out of, there that makes The magic's job
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: a lot easier because what The magic have is that
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: they're really.
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: Good, Defense like they have really good defensive guard play
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: for The.
- 1:51:04Speaker 1: Magic so that's what we got going on, there which
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: MEANS i think The magic are gonna wind up playing
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: The celtics again in the first round of the, playoffs
- 1:51:13Speaker 1: which hopefully The celtics would win that.
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: Series dirty, sock what's? Up thanks for hanging out all?
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: Right and then as far as the, total the total
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: has gone way up to two twenty four and a.
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: Half a lot of money coming in on the, over
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: driving that up six. Points don't know if that's like
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: just Because embiid is not going to be in there playing,
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: defense if he can even do that at this, POINT
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: i don't really get. It money kind of coming in
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: on the over seventy seven percent of, tickets eighty six
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: percent of the.
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: CASH i would kind of lean under in this.
- 1:51:45Speaker 1: GAME i, mean these are two teams that don't really
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: play at a particularly fast.
- 1:51:49Speaker 2: Pay The MAGIC i think tried to and then, realize, yeah.
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: That's not gonna, work AND i think they kind of
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: started slowing things down. Again but in this first, game you,
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: know you get the playoff, atmosphere you get the. Defense you,
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: KNOW i think an under might make, Sense AND i
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: think last night both games might have gotten over last,
- 1:52:05Speaker 1: Night so that's gonna cause a lot of people to
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: hesitate to want to play unders. Here but there is
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: a strong trend towards unders in these first round, Games
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: i'm pretty, sure especially the seven eight, GAMES i.
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: Believe but also last night you, had, like you, know
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: THE i think The heat and The hornets was kind
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: of an over like type of style of.
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: Games SO i don't, know doing that information what you
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: all want To warriors Of, clippers this game is really
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: difficult to figure. Out The clippers are up from three
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: and a half to five and a, half sixty, tickets
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: sixty percent of the cash on The. CLIPPERS i do
- 1:52:40Speaker 1: think The clippers are gonna win this. Game Golden. STATE i,
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: MEAN i know they have a lot of. Experience you,
- 1:52:46Speaker 1: know they Have Steph curry. Back of, Course butler's not coming.
- 1:52:49Speaker 1: Back if we look at what these teams did during
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: the regular, SEASON.
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: I believe they played four. Times let me.
- 1:52:57Speaker 1: See, yeah The clippers got blown out At Golden state
- 1:53:02Speaker 1: early in the, season but that was With butler And
- 1:53:04Speaker 1: Curry bolt then there and The CLIPPERS i don't. Know,
- 1:53:07Speaker 1: YEAH i don't know what they did BECAUSE i Think
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: Kawhi leonard was. There clippers Had Zoo bach back then,
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: too SO i DON'T i don't know how much we
- 1:53:13Speaker 1: could really even draw from.
- 1:53:14Speaker 2: That it was a horrible game for The, clippers.
- 1:53:16Speaker 1: Though clippers bounce back and Beat Golden state In january
- 1:53:19Speaker 1: at home by one in a game WHERE i think
- 1:53:21Speaker 1: Also butler And curry.
- 1:53:23Speaker 2: Were both in that. GAME i think it was Before butler's.
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: Injury most recently they played In, march WHICH i believe
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: was a game with No butler And i'm not sure
- 1:53:31Speaker 1: If curry was in that game or.
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: Not that was a win for The clippers as.
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: Well On march second In Golden, state and then The
- 1:53:38Speaker 1: clippers won again in literally the last game of the
- 1:53:40Speaker 1: regular season for The. Clippers they Beat Golden state by
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: five and only covered.
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: Like the lower closing.
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: NUMBERS i think it dropped all the way from like
- 1:53:51Speaker 1: six to three and a. HALF i don't know why
- 1:53:53Speaker 1: the line moved like, that but The clippers did not
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: have the greatest game in that. GAME i think they
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: probably should have won that game more, easily and they.
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: DID i think they had a bigger lead than. THAT
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: i kind of like The clippers in this, one BUT
- 1:54:05Speaker 1: i don't THINK i want to lay five and a.
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: Half And i'm gonna tell you why the line is
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: that high in a. Second BUT i mean it was
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: almost that high in this game, too but not quite
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: but this. GAME i, mean The clippers did struggle a
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: little bit in that, game but still The clippers are
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: three and one Against Golden state this, season straight Up
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: Golden state.
- 1:54:22Speaker 2: Again that was their last game of season.
- 1:54:23Speaker 1: Two they did, lose SO i guess there is MAYBE
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: i guess you could argue there's some zigzag potential, here
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: but if you look at that game, statistically The, Clippers
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: i'm pretty sure with.
- 1:54:35Speaker 2: A better team.
- 1:54:35Speaker 1: Here let me, SEE i looked at it, earlier BUT
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: i just kind of. Forget, yeah The clippers had a
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: few more possessions. Here they did shoot better from, three but.
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: Whatever but, yeah the thing about it Is Golden state
- 1:54:49Speaker 1: was only even this close because they had ten more
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: free throws made in the. Game Golden state was constantly
- 1:54:56Speaker 1: going to the free throw, line and they did out
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: rebound The, clippers but that completely skewed the.
- 1:55:01Speaker 2: Result.
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: Dude The clippers clearly should have won by. More that
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: free throw disparity probably not something you're gonna see, again
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: especially in a game IN. La both these games are
- 1:55:09Speaker 1: On Amazon, prime by the. Way but, then the other
- 1:55:12Speaker 1: reason why the line moved as high as it did
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: is Because Steve kerr is out there saying that his
- 1:55:17Speaker 1: best players are all gonna be on a minutes restriction
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: in this.
- 1:55:20Speaker 2: Game, like what are you talking? About this is an.
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: Elimination, game and he's, like, yeah we're gonna Have Steph
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: curry on a limits.
- 1:55:26Speaker 2: Restriction. IS i don't know what is going on.
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: HERE i, mean it looks like he's not listed on
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: the injury, report BUT i have no idea because he was,
- 1:55:35Speaker 1: like oh, Yeah Steph, curry.
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: You, Know draymond And.
- 1:55:39Speaker 1: PORZINGIS i think they're all gonna be on minutes, restrictions
- 1:55:42Speaker 1: even though if you're gonna go all out like you
- 1:55:45Speaker 1: have to do it in this game because if you
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: don't win this, game you're. DONE i don't know what
- 1:55:49Speaker 1: this team is, doing, DUDE i really. DON'T i kind
- 1:55:52Speaker 1: of want them to, lose just BECAUSE i Think Steve
- 1:55:54Speaker 1: kerr is an idiot and he just injects bad politics
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: into everything.
- 1:55:59Speaker 2: WHATEVER i.
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: Mean, yeah this team does have, experience probably more so
- 1:56:03Speaker 1: than The clippers do here at playing games at this.
- 1:56:05Speaker 1: Level maybe it's a. Ruse Maybe curry's just fucking Or
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: curR i, mean maybe just be fucking with everybody's, minds
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: you know WHAT i. Mean maybe he's saying that like
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: because that's not something you can hold him, to you
- 1:56:17Speaker 1: know WHAT i.
- 1:56:17Speaker 2: Mean oh, yeah they'll be on a minute's.
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: Restriction but then if that doesn't really, happen you can't
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: really say he lied to, us you know WHAT i,
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: mean because he might just, go, oh, well the way
- 1:56:25Speaker 1: the game flow was, going my guys looked, good you,
- 1:56:28Speaker 1: know SO i decided to play them more THAN i
- 1:56:29Speaker 1: was going.
- 1:56:30Speaker 2: To it might be something like. THAT i don't.
- 1:56:31Speaker 1: Know but, also you, Know Curry green perzingis you, know
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: these guys are all getting, older and none of them
- 1:56:38Speaker 1: are that healthy, Either SO i don't really.
- 1:56:40Speaker 2: Know.
- 1:56:40Speaker 1: MAN i kind of lean to The clippers, here BUT
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: i really worry about maybe The. Warriors Maybe curR is just,
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: lying and maybe that's overvalueing The clippers a bit because
- 1:56:50Speaker 1: he's out there talking like.
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: THAT i don't.
- 1:56:52Speaker 1: Know the total is fairly low at two twenty one
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: and a, half again probably because these games a lot
- 1:56:58Speaker 1: of times tend to be lower. Scoring don't really have
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: a feel for the total really in either. GAME i
- 1:57:03Speaker 1: don't really have the feel for the total. There probably
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: mean under slightly in both, games but really that's just
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: kind of based on trends and not a whole lot.
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: Else so not playing those. Games that's gonna do. It
- 1:57:16Speaker 1: two hour show, brutal mostly because of. Baseball let's get
- 1:57:19Speaker 1: these baseball, wins especially because my one side is The Red.
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: Sox money, Line let's get it, done, man stop embarrassing,
- 1:57:27Speaker 1: yourselves get a. Win you, know The Red sox are
- 1:57:30Speaker 1: still the better, team. Man so it's one of those
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: spots where the odds makers are telling you something different
- 1:57:35Speaker 1: than what the records are telling. YOU i like the
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: matchup as, Well Red. Sox then we got over In
- 1:57:41Speaker 1: washington And, pittsburgh find the best number that you. Can
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: LIKE i, Said i'd pay up to minus one twenty
- 1:57:46Speaker 1: to get it over the nine because that key number nine.
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: Matters you don't really want the, hook ALTHOUGH i would
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: still probably go over nine and a half too if
- 1:57:54Speaker 1: you if you really have, to and then over nine
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: and a half In texas and Homeless, texas and the
- 1:58:01Speaker 1: a's paying a little bit of juice for that again
- 1:58:05Speaker 1: if it's too much. Juice if it gets up to
- 1:58:07Speaker 1: minus one, twenty LIKE i, said over ten is really
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: not different from nine and a, half, really and you'll
- 1:58:12Speaker 1: pay less for, It so that's gonna do it.
- 1:58:15Speaker 2: All though of, course if it's a six', four.
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: Game it'll push instead of winning, for you so that's
