• 0:09
  Speaker 1: All systems go.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Clear for liftoff. What is going on Ship It Nation
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: YouTube station?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Back Friday, three games left of the regular season. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: we got some teams not playing for anything. Some teams
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: still fighting. Some teams are just kind of coasting out
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the end of the year here, Matt.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: It's bittersweet. We've come to the end here.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: The last MLB live show on the Ship It Nation
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: YouTube station for hopefully just a year.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Until next season.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: We'll see what happens in the offseason with the lockout
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: potential and things like that. Hopefully we have baseball back,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: but nonetheless, it's been one hell of a season over
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: here at Shippenation. And we appreciate everyone tuning in all
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: year long. So I'll bring you in, man. Happy Friday.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Excited to break this one down. We got a fun
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: one here. Loaded pitching slate. Don't think there's too much
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: concern with majority of the spin-up arms. I mean, at
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: least as little as there can be in terms of
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: concern at the end of the day, we don't know,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: but it does seem like it's a pretty solid pitching
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: slate overall.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And, uh, yeah, looking forward to, uh, rounding out the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: season with you here.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, as you kind of mentioned before we started,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I think we started the season and now we're, we're
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: capping it bittersweet, mostly just bitter. I love MLB. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: love doing these shows. So kind of sad that they're over,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: but hopefully we're back next year and, uh, We'd have
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: some baseball next year. That is a legit concern, but
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: for now we'll enjoy it. Cleveland clinched last night. Appreciate
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the shout out in the discord on that. Always nice,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but man, that two seat in the AL is like
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: worth gold right now between Cleveland and Chicago. Like whoever
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: gets that might have the coziest path to honestly the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: world series of any team ever. So hoping that Cleveland
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: can keep it up. I think it's important for this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: last weekend of MLB DFS. And tonight will probably be
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the last day we have big, big contests because of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: college football. And then obviously Sunday is the day of football.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It's important to know what teams are just out of
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: it and not playing for anything, what teams still have
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit to play for, what teams are in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and don't have anything to play for. It's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: just important to know what you're getting into. So excited
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to break this one down with you, brother.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, should be fun here. Sorry, as I'm adjusting some stuff,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I'm shutting my– Shut my window here because they got
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: the weed whacker running outside of.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: The apartment complex here.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: So to avoid any sort of weed whacker action coming
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: through on my mic there, had to fix that. But, yeah,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: we got 11 games on the docket here tonight. We
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: got West Sacramento, which is the clear-cut spot from offensive perspective.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: We got a loaded pitching slate up top.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: With Scooball on the mound and then a pretty significant
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: drop-off down to the next tier of guys. But, man,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I'll throw it to you. Let's go ahead and jump
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: right in here. No time to waste. That's what we
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: like to do here, jump right into the action. In
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: terms of pitching here, I got the pitching up on
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the slate here.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: We'll go 8K and above. So, Jose Soriano, which.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Gets the coveted great matchup against Cincinnati here. All the
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: way up to Scooball, talk about any of these guys
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: that you're interested in. In terms of ownership, it's going
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to be Scooball as the highest starting pitcher on the slate.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: A lot of that has to do with Yamamoto just
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: threw 90 pitches. Who's the other one for the Dodgers? Glassnow. Yeah,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Glassnow and Yamamoto both got to about 90 pitches. So
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: you have to assume Scooball is going to have probably
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: about a 90 pitch leash somewhere somewhere in there. At
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, we don't really know.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: As the Dodgers lost last night and the Brewers locked
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: up the best overall record in baseball and the home
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: field advantage throughout the playoffs. So that was pretty sick
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to see there. So who knows what happens here? But
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Scooball is a gamer at the end of the day.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I think Scooball is going to be out there for
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: roughly six innings or so. You look at he's got
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: the best strikeout prop on the slate. You look at
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: his outs prop as well. His outs prop is sitting
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: at 17 and a half. So they do the books
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and everything do expect Scooball to kind of get his
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: full allotment if they allow it. 11K is the real
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: deciding factor. Gavin Williams, your boy here. Not sure how
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: long they're going to let him go. But you have
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: to really assume that majority of these spend up arms
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: on the slate should have a decent enough leash. But
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: talk about this entire pitching range. Scooball is the chalk.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Gavin Williams is kind of the second highest owned guy.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: And then it's a toss up between Burke and some
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: of these other cheaper guys down below. But those really
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: are the two guys that headline the slate in terms
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: of Scooball and Gavin Williams.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this range is where we want to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: get the majority of our pitching exposure from. You know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: there's one cheaper guy, a couple of cheaper guys, I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: guess you can look at. But for me, Gavin Williams,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: SP1 here. Scooble is awesome. We know that. I love
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the matchup against San Francisco, but the Guardians are playing
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: for that two seed. Gavin Williams wasn't even in Boston
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: last night when they clinched. They flew him out early
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to Kansas City to get him well-rested for this game.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I think he's got supreme length here. If he's giving
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: them what he normally does, he could go nine. I mean,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: he's their dog. They're fighting for that two seed, which
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: is just monstrous. I mean... they might have a massive
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: decision on Sunday with Parker Messick because they throw him
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: on Sunday and they end up losing and don't win
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the division. Then they're going to lose him in the next,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in the first round of the playoffs. But for now,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to do everything they can to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: get that two seed. And I'm all in on Gavin here.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I like school boys. I mentioned, I don't think you
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: get the link from a school that you do out
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of Gavin Williams, but I like the matchup better. Obviously
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it's great park. So yeah, I think he's fine. I
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: have Gavin slightly higher for me at that price point.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I like the Grom. I like Detmers. I think both
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: those guys are fine options. The next guy that I'm,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I think I'm going to lean on though is Sean
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Burke gets that cozy matchup at home against the Rockies.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Same spot as Cleveland. They need wins. They're going to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: rely on their best arms and Burke has been really
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: good at for them, especially at home. Great matchup, probably
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the best matchup on the slate. So I'm in on
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Burke at 8,500. I think Soriano's fine. Looks to me
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: kind of like Burke, but I have a little bit
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: more confidence in Burke. Joe Ryan, Hunter Brown, tougher for
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: me to get to. I mean, there's a lot of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: good pitchers on this slate. For me, I think it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: mostly Gavin, Scooble, Burke, DeGrom, and Detmers are the guys
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to lean on. How about you?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Gavin's my SP1 as well. I do agree there. Cleveland,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Wants to win games. We don't there.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: There's a lot more unknowns with school ball and the
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Dodgers there because they're locked in the two spot in
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the NL there.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So for me, that does edge it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: And the salary discount you have and at least right now,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: projections rise. You get an ownership discount as well. So
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I do like Gavin a lot here. School, I think,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: is good as well. I do think Detmers is pretty
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: interesting here as well. 6.5K prop, 16.5 out prop, which
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: is better than DeGrom, actually. So I do prefer Detmers
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: to DeGrom. I think DeGrom's fine as well. Projection ownership
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: would also indicate Detmers over DeGrom there. But I just
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: like that matchup out in Seattle. Like playing pitchers in
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Seattle there, Detmers a lefty outside of J-Rod and really
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: a Rosarena Cal Raleigh. If you can navigate those three,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of strikeouts in that lineup there,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: so I do like him. I think Hunter Brown is
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: super interesting here. Nobody's going to click Hunter Brown because
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: of the West Sacramento. I mean, this is a great
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: strikeout matchup. He's unowned on an 11-game slate at 8,900.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: We're playing almost 11K for this guy. I know his numbers,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: and he struggled here and there, but I still like
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: this matchup. I think Hunter Brown in tournaments is a
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: super sneaky, super interesting play overall to me.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: So I really like Hunter Brown and then Sean Burke.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: I agree with you as well. So for me, this
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: top tier is kind of Gavin Williams, Hunter Brown, Burke, Detmers,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: and then Scooble. I rank it just because of the
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: salary on Scooble.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I love that Hunter Brown call because he fits in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: line with the Burke and Gavin calls as well. They
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: need wins. They're playing for their playoff lives. So I'm in, man.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: He's found his– Like he's pitching the best he's pitched
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: all season right now too. And the matchup, like if
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: this game were in Houston, he would be chalk. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I love that call. Good call there.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're going to get Hunter Brown at 5%
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: ownership on an 11 game slate with massive upside. I mean,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: five and a half K props, 17 and a half
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: out prop. I mean, I get it. It's the A's
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: at Sacramento. It's the best hitting condition.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: On the slate.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: It's just, I'm a bet. I always take good pitching
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: over hitting any day. Pitchers can always win out. And
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I'm a believer in Hunter Brown right now. He's kind
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: of found his groove like you alluded to. So he's
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: my overall favorite starting pitcher play on the slate when
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you can consider potential upside and ownership.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Um, and the salary. Right.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: So I do like him a ton. Um, not really
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: messing with these other guys. I think Joe Ryan is
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: a pivot. If you wanted to get there, I don't
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: really want to mess with it. Twins have nothing to
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: play for there. Um, he is pitching in one of
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: the best, uh, pitchers parks in baseball and globe life there.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Um, but or not global, he's at home, excuse me,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: but I don't know. I mean, who knows?
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Maybe twins let him go. Um, he's kind of their guy.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: It might be the last time you see Joe Ryan
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: in a twins uniform. So maybe they let him go
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: at home here. Um, at $ 9, 700. I don't love it,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: but again, Gavin Williams is the same price, and so
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: is DeGrom. So in tournaments, I think you could get there. Ideally,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: my lineups are going to be two of these guys
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: above 8K, though. I definitely want to spend up on
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: pitching here. There's offense, and you can punt off a
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: bat and afford spend up pitching. Then to really mess
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: with these cheaper starting pitchers, I think there is a
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: couple of guys down here that you can mess with.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: But I would much rather just play two of these
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: guys up in the top tier. We didn't even mention
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: guys like Yuri Perez, who has shown upside at times.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Jose Suriano with that matchup against Cincinnati at home. Toronto there.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: So I think there's a lot of guys you can play.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I kind of keyed in on those main five there.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: But again, I'll probably filter some of these other guys
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: in my MME set overall.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Cheaper tier here, Matt. It is.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Below 8K, I mean, Bryce Miller stands out projection-wise. 7,500,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: gets the matchup against the Angels. I'm not a Bryce
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Miller guy. I don't really like this dude, especially in
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: the ownership. I would much rather just play another arm
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: up in that 8K range personally myself, but I think
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: he's viable overall. I think he's decent play. Robert Gasser,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I think, is kind of a sneaky leverage type guy.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know how long the Brewers are going to
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: let him go, but I mean, you have to assume
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs, Gasser is not going to be one
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: of the main arms anyways.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: In the rotation.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: So this could be a spot where they're kind of
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: just let Gasser go and then convert him into like
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: a bulk inning guy in the playoffs out of necessity.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Or if things go south in one of these series
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: or things like that. And the Brewers have a first
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: round bye.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: So there's extended time. He's going to get full rest
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: and be ready to go when it comes time to play.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: in what, about six days, eight days, something like that,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: October 3rd, right, I think is the first game at home.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: So Gasser, I think, is a little interesting just because
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: he's shown upside and he's 7,200 on the slate. Outside
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: of that, I really don't like any of these other
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Valley guys. Like I said, I'm prioritizing spending off that pitcher.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Don't really want to mess with these guys, and especially
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: with Bryce Miller getting that kind of ownership, 20% to 30%,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: something like that. I'd rather just be underweight on that
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: and just go up or just play Robert Gasser for
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: $ 300 less. It's kind of how I see it. But
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: how do you see this large here?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I see it exactly like you do. It's Bryce Miller
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and Gasser for me down here. And I'm with you.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel like if he's pitching well, there's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: no reason why Milwaukee will pull him. They probably don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: even want to use their good bullpen arms here. So, yeah,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: it's Gasser for me. I think I like Gasser more
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: than Bryce Miller just because of the ownership. I don't
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: feel comfortable playing Bryce Miller into high ownership in any park,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: in any matchup right now. So I get it. He's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: too cheap for his strikeout upside. And depending on how
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: many lineups you play, you probably want to have a
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: little bit. But I just don't feel good about it
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: when we've got pitchers that I do feel really good about.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: That's kind of basically what it boils down to for me.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I like the ownership pivot to Gasser just because I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: like his stuff. I like the matchup, and I think
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: he's got good length here. But ultimately, I'm with you.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I want to spend up on pitching tonight.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I think Gasser would be the guy, the guy include,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to even probably include Bryce Miller from
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: a props perspective. Bryce Miller has a six and a
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: half K prop, but it's minus one 50 on the
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: under there. You look at Robert Gasser, his, his K
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: prop is sitting at four and a half with minus
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: one 50 on the over, right? So you kind of
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: meet in the middle outs prop Gasser is right in
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: line with Bryce Miller. And I mean, he's 3% owned
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: instead of 25 to 30%. So, On a slate like that,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I'd just much rather take a lot less risk at
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: a pitcher, and that's kind of how I see it, right?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Seattle doesn't really have anything going for them. I mean,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I know it's the Angels, but still. Ideally, six pitchers
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: in my main pool I'm looking at. Williams, Skubal, Detmers, Brown, Burke,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: and Gasser would be the main six. I think the
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: other guys up there in the top, DeGrom, Joe Ryan,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: are kind of interested in Skubal.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: As well. But yeah, that's kind of how I see it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: How do you see it overall?
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I see it exactly as the same as you do.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: And my thing about Scooble is like, just looking at
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the guys we like, I'd much rather play like Gavin
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and Hunter Brown and Scooble and Gasser. You know what
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I mean? Even though I like Gasser, I don't like
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Scooble more enough, more than, I don't even know if
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I don't like him more than Gavin, but even the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: other guys, like, so it's the same pool for me.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: If I'm making one lineup, it's Gavin and then one
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of the other guys.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Yep, we see it. We're in lockstep.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Feels good to be lockstep with my guy Bellman as
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: we round out the season here. Well, with so many
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: pitchers in play, I mean, there's a lot of guys
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: we didn't even talk about that are good pitchers overall.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, most of these guys are kind of in
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: their one or twos in the rotation, at least top
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: three for sure. We're not getting back half arms here
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: on this Friday to round out the year. So now
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: when we jump over and talk hitting here, it's not
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: going to be, a lot of spots where we really
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: like overall. I mean, that look great on paper. First
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: game is Jose Soriano. It is Nick Lodolo, the Blue
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Jays and the Reds. This is a game that I
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: do have some interest in here. I think the Blue
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Jays are a little interesting overall. Lodolo, I don't think
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: is very good. The Reds bullpen we know is not good.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: The Reds are just dead, obviously. I think Okamoto looks
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: pretty good.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Springer, Vlad.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, you got a cheap Charles leading off at 2,800.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, this team is pretty cheap. It allows you
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: to spend up at pitching, which we want to prioritize.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: The ownership's held in check. They're super low-owned. I think
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: the Blue Jays are pretty interesting overall as kind of
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: a lower-owned stack that not many are going to go to,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: especially if you're going like a Gavin Williams with one
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: of those other guys that are getting a decent amount
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: of ownership in terms of pitcher. I think the Blue
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Jays make some sense here, but how do you see
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: this game, Reds and Toronto?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think the Blue Jays make sense
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: as like a contrarian stack. If you're playing one lineup,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: really hard to get to anything from this game, except
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: for maybe Soriano. I mean, if you like him more
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: than I guess we do, but ultimately like last Friday
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: night of the season, if I'm playing one team, I
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: can't go down with the Blue Jays. I get it.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: They're in a good spot against Lodolo and I'm playing
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a few lineups. So maybe I play a little bit
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: of them. There's just teams that have more to play
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: for that. I like more. So, I think it's a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: decent sneaky call, but not one I'm Uber excited about,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to be honest. And then Cincinnati, no thanks.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Yep. I see it.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I tend to agree. I think you could play guys
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: like Carlos Jorge batting off Carlos, George Jorge, 2,500 batting
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: hit and lead off. I mean, they could, they're just,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, this kid's decent one breed. I mean, they
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: got super cheap guys. Hector Rodriguez has been really good. So,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Soriano has shown blow-ups. I don't really want to pick
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: on a ground ball guy like Soriano on this slate,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: but we have seen Soriano give up slate-winning performances throughout
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: the year, and it's hard to predict him, but that's why,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, on a slate like this, I don't think
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: it's the worst play. I do like this game, too,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: a lot more games on the slate, but much prefer
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: the Blue Jays' side. It's still not an overall top
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: play on the slate by any means, though. Next spot, Marlins, Braves,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Grant Holmes, Uri Perez. Perez, big strikeout guy, can get wild.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Braves make some sense here, I think. The top half
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: of the lineup, you can always play them. This park sucks.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: That's the issue.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I just hate playing hitters in Miami. Baldwin, Acuna, Olsen, Harris,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: those three, or four, excuse me, look really good. You
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: got some cheap guys in the back half, like Yastrzemski,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Ozzie Albies has got a decent price point.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: So the Braves do have some guys. Don't love them.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Overall in, in retrospect to some of the other teams
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: on the slate, but how do you see this one?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: This is interesting to me. Cause I think that to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the point you made a couple of minutes ago, there
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: are a lot of good pitchers on this slate. So
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: there aren't a ton of good stacks. I think that
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: like of the stacks that definitely look better, like there
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: are certainly stacks that definitely look better on this slate, Houston,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the white socks, which we'll get to, but of like
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the mid tier stacks on this slate, kind of like
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Toronto and, I think both these teams belong there. Uri
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: has been very hit or miss over the past couple months.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Even at home, he's had some bad starts. The Braves
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: offense was pretty good yesterday. We know they've got talent.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: That would be the case for playing them. I can't
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: imagine they get much ownership in this park. And then
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Miami against who's it going to be? Ray Kerr and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: then maybe Holmes. I'm not super excited about it, but
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: they're cheap. We like expensive pitching. I don't think it's
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: crazy to play either team from this game and mostly
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: because yeah, we don't love the park, but there's a
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: lot of good pitching on this slate, and it's cooler
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: weather all over the country. So there aren't really many
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: outside of Sacramento amazing hitting spots.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: That's when the parks, I mean, we're end of September
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: baseball here, right? Weather, it's not July where The Midwest
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: and the East Coast is 110 degrees, right? Like, it's
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: just not– and it's hot and humid. We don't have
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Coors Field. So the more I look at it, I
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: do think the Braves are kind of interesting in that
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: tier that is kind of jumbled of, like, six to
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: eight teams probably, I would say. I would not be
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: shocked to see the Braves put up a kind of
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: slate-winning performance at some 5% ownership. So the more I
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: look at it, just when I– take, take kind of
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: a lens back on the slate as a whole. Um, yeah,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: the park sucks, but like you said, right, the weather's
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: trash pretty much everywhere outside of one spot. And that
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: one spot is going to have so much ownership that
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I even really want to play
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: it when there's, uh, 21 other teams on the slate
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: that you can play.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: And the Braves fit that build. So I do think
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: the Braves are pretty interesting overall. Grant Holmes, isn't the
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: best pitcher either. Marlins are dead, but I mean, these
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: kids still can ball. Conine looks decent. Um, marcy some
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: of these lefties you want lefty joe mack i think
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: is a decent one-off catcher as a value play especially
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: when we want to spend up at pitcher um if
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: you need some salary punting off a catcher position with
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: the guy like joe mack at 2600 has power um
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: grant holmes more susceptible to some lefties there so i
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: don't hate it but much prefer the braves overall um
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: on the spot next one here We have your Guardians
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: heading into Kauffman Stadium to take on Noah Cameron and
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that atrocious Royals bullpen. I'll throw it to you right away.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I'll let you break this one down, talk about your
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: squad here. I think they're definitely interesting overall because this
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: is one of the teams that is going.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: To be gunning, right? They need to win. They want
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: to win.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: They want to get that division. So how do you
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: see this one?
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I love Cleveland here, man. Like, they clinched yesterday, so
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I think the pressure's off. They still want that two seed.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I know they got into KC really late last night,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: partied a little bit, celebrated as they should. I think,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: if anything, that could affect them tomorrow, not tonight. I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: think they're playing off vibes here, and I really like
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: them in this spot. I don't think they get ownership.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I think that you've seen this recently, too, with the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: White Sox yesterday. Cleveland struggled against some good pitchers in Boston,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: but against mediocre pitching, the White Sox just got to
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the Royals. I think we see the same thing from
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Cleveland here. I like them. I want to see what
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: their lineup looks like. I don't think it's going to
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: be weird because that two seed is so important. It's
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: not even that I think Cameron is a gas can
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and I don't like them as much against lefties, but
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Jay Ram's gotten better recently. He's running still no matter what.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Obviously Adele big against lefties in this lineup. I'm in
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: on Cleveland here, man. How about you?
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're interesting.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I think Angel Martinez is really good. He's a switch
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: hitter too, so pinch hit free. He does strike out
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: a decent amount, but Cameron's been susceptible to righty power.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: And he's a fly ball pitcher anyways. I know the
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: weather sucks. It's about 60 degrees here in Kauffman, but
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: that's really everywhere outside of Sacramento, like we keep saying.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Every spot in this slate sucks outside of one spot, right?
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: So I think Martinez, Adele, DeLauder is even decent, lefty-lefty.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: He's not the worst.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: You got a.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Super guy in Rokio as well. I think that's pretty
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: interesting at shortstop and then you can wrap it around
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: to the top. So the Cleveland does have dudes you
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: can play here. And yeah, I think they fit that script.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I'd probably prefer the Braves and some other teams that
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: we're going to talk about there, but they're right there
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: in kind of that fifth, sixth range, something like that. Overall,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: no Royals interest for me against Gavin Williams. I know
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: you get the leverage there, but Royals are dead. I mean,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: even if Gavin's kind of, scuffling a little bit. I mean,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Cleveland's just going to pull them, I think overall and
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: go to that bullpen. And then you're playing lefty righty
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: platoons type stuff. And you don't really know what's going
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: on with the Royals, but I mean, they have a
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: ton of power against righties. So, I mean, Jensen, Cagley
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: known Vinnie P you could do it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: But much prefer the guardians overall to, to the Royals.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Next spot.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: I do like this spot quite a bit here, white
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: socks and the Rockies. Talk about a bad pitcher. Sagano,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: is uh miserable he's absolutely atrocious uh everyone knows that
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: i saw people talking about uh the white socks lineup
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: um oh i thought i thought andrew martinez says the
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: white socks lineup looked uh awful i was like i
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: i love this lineup overall white socks i'm riding the
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: bell uh right back to the well with the white
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: socks i mean they're gonna get on but it's not
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: even gonna be anywhere near what houston's gonna get on
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: in sacramento white socks want to want to win These
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: dudes are ballers overall.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: They're super cheap. Sign me up.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: They're my top overall stack on the slate against Sugano
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: and this Rockies bullpen. One through nine, all great plays.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Tristan Peters, my dude. You got the Montgomery's down at
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: the back. Wrap it around to the top. Absolutely love this.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Murakami at 4'8. It's a criminal price point on him,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: especially when he's starting to kind of round into form
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: heading into the postseason here.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: How do you see this one?
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Giddy up. I'm all aboard too. It's just like Cleveland, man.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: In an even better spot because Cleveland I love because
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: of the vibes. They're facing a mediocre pitcher in a
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: decent park, but the White Sox have the same vibes
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and they face Sagano and the Colorado bullpen. So I'm
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in on the White Sox here for sure. I'm a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: little bit worried about ownership because I think they're like
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the clear place to go outside of Houston, but Houston
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: is going to get a lot of love. They eat
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: up a lot of positions and a lot of price tags. Really,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: outside of the Astros, I'm not overly concerned with ownership.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: The White Sox just look great to me here. I
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: think you can play them as full five-mans, three-mans, four-mans.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: They got a ton of upside here. They're rolling right now.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: They need wins. I think you see the best they
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: have to offer here.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do want to talk about the Rockies here.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Sean Burke, I know he's been good in the beginning,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: but If you look at Sean Burke lately, he's been brutal.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, 20% strikeout rate, 19% walk rate in 101
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: plate appearances. I mean, Kerrig, McCarthy, these guys, the issue
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: with the Rockies is they're expensive. But Rumfield is affordable.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Kerrig's price has come down. Moniak's price has come down
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: now that they left Coord. And Burke, I think, is
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: going to probably be right up there next to Gavin
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: in terms of ownership right around that same range. So
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: if I'm picking one of the chalkier arms to leverage against,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: it would definitely be Sean Burke overall. The White Sox
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: bullpen is not very good in general. So I do
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: think the Rockies on a slate where everyone's going to
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: kind of go to the same spots. I think the
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Rockies have upside here, just a stone dead team in general.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: And they've been that way pretty much the entire season.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: They've actually had, they have some power and some upside
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: against right-handed pitching for sure. So I don't think they're
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: the worst plays in the, in, in the world. And,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: as a sneaky stack on this kind of slate, I
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: do think they're, they're pretty interesting just as a bet on, Hey, Burke,
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: maybe he's not right. Maybe there's something going on underneath
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: the hood that, that we don't know. But if you
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: look at Burke's last 30 day numbers over the last
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: month here, it's, it's pretty brutal in general.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: So any, any thoughts on the, on the Rockies?
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I like Burke because of the matchup,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: et cetera, everything we talked about, but the Rockies real
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: good for me yesterday in the afternoon slate, If Burke's
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: going to get ownership, I'm totally with you. I feel
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: like if you're going to pick on a popular pitcher,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: it's either him or Bryce Miller, right? And I think
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: you can make the same cases for the Mariners or
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: for the Angels, excuse me, as for the Rockies here.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Both bad offenses that have been out of it forever,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: both with upside on the base pass and with power.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm with you here. Like, I'm going to play
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: a little Burke, but I'm certainly not going to play
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: 100% Burke. And in any non-Burke lineups, I think the
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Rockies are a real interesting way to get different if
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: you're playing popular stacks like Houston.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so the dry run right now, projections-wise,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: obviously it's going to change. We don't have a ton
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: of lineups in. But what we do have in, an
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: average of us and Sabre Sims projection, I get 97%
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: school ball, 39% Burke with Cleveland and Houston. That's kind
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: of what the projections spit out. White Sox are under–
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: all these other teams are under, I think it's because
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: of the price points and the, they need to win right. Um,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: full nine at bats and that bullpen has a lot
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: to do with it behind Cameron as well. So if
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Cameron does get, um, if the Royals do pull him early,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: cause obviously he's, he's a pivotal piece to kind of their,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: their future as well. So if they pull him early,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, that bullpen is absolutely atrocious. So I think
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: that's why along with their price points. Um, but that's
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: what projections say. Um, I don't know if I fully
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: believe Cleveland's going to be that, but that's kind of
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: what it shakes up, and it's usually pretty accurate in
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: terms of that. And Cleveland is very heavy in terms
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: of the five-man stacks because what does it do? It
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: allows you to get up to a school ball, and
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: then it allows you to play a Burke who's projected
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: for right around 20 points at 8,500, right? So the
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: more I look at it, I think the Rockies are–
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: kind of coming more and more into my portfolio here
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: the more I see it. On a slate like this
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: that just feels so cut and dry that the writing
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: is on the wall what everyone else is going to do.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I think playing against that. And it's not like there's not,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: it's not like there's a shortage of starting pitchers on
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: the slate. I mean, Burke is $ 400 less than Hunter Brown.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Give me Hunter Brown. Give me even shit. Give me
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Jose Soriano for $ 500.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I get that. I'm going to fight back on the
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Cleveland ownership though. I don't see it. Maybe Jose Ramirez,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: but there's no way they're coming in higher on than
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Houston as a stack. The White Sox against Sagano. The
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Brewers against McGreevy. The Dodgers, who we haven't talked about,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: against Marte. I can't see it. Again, you might have pieces. Adele,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: who's cheap. Jay Ram at a weak third base. I
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: can't see it as a full five, man. If I'm wrong,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's definitely– I mean, it's probably going to
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: flatten out some, but they're definitely going to– because of
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: the price points. I mean, 36, 34, 33, 29, 25, 25, 4K, 4,100,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: JRAM's 5,100.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: That's the only guy over.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: 4,100 on the whole lineup, on the whole stack, and
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: it allows you to get up to a school ball
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: with a massive projection.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: So that's the reason.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Now, I don't know if that's going to be the case,
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: but I do expect them to kind of be right
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: there next to– I think Cleveland picks up more ownership
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: than even the White Sox. As crazy as that is,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: just wide projection.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could be wrong. We'll see.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: But that's what it says right now in terms of that.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. Nonetheless, though, I do think the Rockies
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: are pretty interesting the more we look at it here.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Next spot, Brewers, Cardinals, McGreevy on the mound. We love
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: lefties against this guy, Brewers. Nothing to play for outside
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: of just continuing to push for a better record. Got
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: 100 wins yesterday. Do they go for even more against
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: their division rival here?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: One of them.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I think Mitchell looks good, Turing, Bowers, Yelich, all these guys.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think the Brewers are one of those
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: teams that could be the highest, the team you need
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: on this kind of slate, right? Especially if Houston doesn't
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: go nuts, right? They don't hit a lot of home runs,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: but it doesn't matter. They still steal bases. They score runs.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: They got to get their bats going because last year, right,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: they couldn't hit at all. So I think this is
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: a pretty damn good spot overall for the Brewers' bats
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: in general against the Cardinals' trash bullpen. McGreevy's very bad,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: in my opinion. How do you see this game, though?
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Totally with you. McGreevy stinks. I wonder what the Brewers
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: lineup is going to look like today, but even if
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: it's weaker, that means it's cheaper with no pinch hit risk.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: So intrigued no matter what, right? Because if they run
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: their full lineup, you got good hitters in there that
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: are probably going to be low owned because they're expensive
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and people aren't going out of their way to stack them.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Or you'll have a weaker lineup that's cheaper and doesn't
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: have pinch hit risk. I'm intrigued for sure. I want
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: to see what that lineup looks like. Is it out?
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: I'm just looking right now. I don't see it out yet.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: But I would expect majority. I mean, you might see.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: Like a Churrio or a Yelich, one of those guys
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: get a day off, something like that. Contreras maybe, but
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, whoever's in there, I mean, Laura's going to
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: probably be in there.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: He's a young kid. Mitchell should be in there. You
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: might see.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Fralick coming in this order in this lineup as well
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: against McGreevy. So we'll see what the, what the lineup
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: looks like, but I'm seeing like, low ownership on a
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: team that could be the highest that could be the
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: best DFS offense on the slate.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: And it won't shock anyone. Right. So I do like
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: the Brewers quite a bit here. Shocker. I know. But
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: it's again, everything's up against Houston.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: And if Houston goes out there and hits two home
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: runs and scores five runs, I mean, well, everybody just
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: is holding hands at the bottom of the leaderboards then.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: And you're looking for these other teams to kind of
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: leapfrog them. So Brewers are definitely in that boat for sure.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Next spot, Twins, Rangers, DeGrom, Joe Ryan, two of the
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: better arms on the slate. No bats for me in
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: this one, but do you see anything here? Nah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, Ryan is volatile for a really good pitcher. Like,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: you look no farther than that start against Cleveland earlier
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: in the year where he gave up, like, seven home runs.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: But outside of that outlier stuff, like, nah, I'm good.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: These two guys are good arms, and even if I
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: don't use them, I don't want to pick on them.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Yep, I agree. Next spot, D-backs, Padres, Casey Mize. Talking
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: about a guy who has not been good. It's Mize. D-backs,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I think, are they dead now? Are they done?
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: No, they're not.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, they have to, what, sweep the Padres here?
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I think it's because of the Cubs, too, though.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Like, I.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Got to pull it up. I don't know exactly, but, yeah,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I think they have to win out and hope for
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: some other things. So they're not mathematically dead, but likely dead.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, likely dead.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Nonetheless, they're going to still be playing because there is
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: an outside chance they can get in. Casey Mize has
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: been absolutely horrendous. I know the Padres bullpen is really good,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: but well, I guess, let me, let me see what
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: the Padres bullpen usage, because the Padres are still playing
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: for stuff too, right?
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: It's not the Cubs. It's the Phillies also that the
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Diamondbacks could catch. Phillies have a two game lead on
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks right now. That'd be crazy if Philly fell out. Yeah.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, that could, that'd be wild. Obviously the Brewers
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: took what, two, two, two or three of those. three
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: of those games in that last series against them.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: So yeah.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden you have an Arizona
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: team that's playing for their lives against the San Diego
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: team that already clinched. Yeah.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: And here's the thing.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, you could see, are the Padres locked into
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: their spot?
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. So I don't think they're playing
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: for anything.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: So here's the thing that makes me like Arizona a
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: ton then.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Look at this Padres bullpen usage because of, what they, right,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: the last two days, what they wanted to do to clinch.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, Mason Miller threw back-to-back days. Matsui threw back-to-back days.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Bradley Rodriguez threw 37 pitches on Wednesday. Morjan threw back-to-back days.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, they could leave Casey Mize out there just
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: to dry because this game doesn't mean anything to them.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: They're definitely going to want to give those arms a
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: rest in that bullpen. I think Arizona is super, super
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: interesting here. on this slate, nobody's going to play them.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: I know the ballpark sucks, but the ballpark means less
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: when there's no good spots on the entire slate.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, talk to me. Are you with me? The
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: D-backs are kind of speaking to me here at no ownership.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I know we don't like picking on San Diego, but
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: the more you see at San Diego can't really do anything.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: D-backs have an outside shot. The bullpen's taxed. Mize has
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: been atrocious.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: How do you see it here?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: And you're talking about crazy low ownership and people aren't
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: playing Arizona here coming out of cores with the other teams.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: We've talked about Houston, especially, and you might see like
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: the really, really watered down version of the Padres here,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: really weak lineup. My's who hasn't been great. And then
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: their worst bullpen arms. That's intriguing, man. That's kind of
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: goes into what I talked about at the beginning of
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: the show. Like pay attention to who's on the slate,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: what you're playing, what's, what other people aren't playing that
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: might kind of slip through the cracks. And this looks
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: like one of those spots. They remind me of the
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Marlins or Braves because of the ballpark, but with probably
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: half the ownership of even those teams, you know, like
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: it's not like those teams are going to be popular,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: but Arizona is just not going to be played here.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I guess they're, they're still playing for
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: home field in the wild card, if that really means anything,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: which maybe.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Okay. So it's them and the Cubs. Okay.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but, I mean, still, nonetheless, I mean, Miller's throwing back-to-back.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Their best arms in that bullpen have thrown back-to-back days.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: They're not pitching today. Like, no matter what, they might
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: be still trying to win, but they're not playing those
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: guys today.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they still have two games in the series, right,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: over the weekend as well. So, yeah, I still like
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Arizona quite a bit here. I mean, you've got cheap
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: price points on all these guys, Marte, 46th. Lars new
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: bar at 3,100. Pavin Smith has a lot of power,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: but he's a pinch hit risk. Um, but who knows
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: what the Padres are going to do? Like I said,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: with that bullpen, Corbin Carroll, um, Sanchez. I mean, I
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: think the D backs are really interesting overall.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about it.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about Sacramento here, Houston athletics, Jacob Lopez on
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: the mound, which obviously pitches a lefty. You love the
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Astros against left-handed pitching because their entire lineup outside of
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: one or two guys typically is, uh, All righty.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Right. And you're on one of the best lefty lefty
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: hitters in the game.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Anyways, Astros on paper look incredible.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Highest run total on the slate. Highest ownership by a
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: decent margin.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think this comes up quite a bit
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: here when who knows, though, projections wise, because their prices
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: are I mean, you have.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: To think about it. Right. Forty one. Four K. Forty five.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Forty seven. Sixty five. Fifty two. I mean, outside of
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: playing the shitters at the back like a Spencer or
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: something like that.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, talk to me here. How do you see
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: this game? Best hitting conditions by far, by a mile
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: on the slate. I don't like the A side. I
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: think Hunter Brown is one of the best plays overall
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: on the slate. So I don't love the A's, but
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: same thing, right? They got the same conditions as well.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: How do you see this one?
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: They do have the same conditions. And I think that
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: they're a contrarian stack against a real good pitcher, but
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I'm with you on the points you made about Brown earlier.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: And I'm more on team Brown than I am on
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: the A's. As far as Houston goes, I think Lopez
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: is better than the field does, but he's not in
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: great form right now, and this is kind of the
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: worst spot he could ask for, right? Like this park
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: is awful for him. And then you get a really
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: right-handed lineup in Houston. I remember they faced off last year,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: at least once in this park and he got destroyed.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: And I think you're taking a big risk by fading
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: them because they've got a lot of upside here. I
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: also think that, playing them in mini stacks makes sense.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: And just hoping like you talked about, maybe they score
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: five runs and only hit two home runs. It's unlikely
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: that they get shut out here, but are they going
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: to be the top stack as much as ownership is
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: going to say they should be? And I don't know
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: about that. I think ownership gets pretty crazy here. And
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I am personally more interested in playing them as mini
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: stacks pieces. Cause there's other offenses. I really like that
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: are just going to be lower owned and yeah, it's
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: a tough fade, but, gets me excited about teams we
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: talked about earlier that are going to be lower owned. Yeah.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, at these, at these prices too, if those
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: spin up arms do their thing, I mean, you're probably the,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: the mini stack is probably going to be the way,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: even if Houston goes out there and scores eight to
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: 10 runs. I mean, who there's nothing saying that they're,
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: they're going to be on the winner.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: So I do think I'd much prefer Houston is kind
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: of just position fillers than a full five man stack
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: because the guys you want a full five man, do
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: get pretty pricey. And then you're kind of sacrificing pitching,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: which I don't really want to do when there's so
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: many other offenses on the slate and other offenses that
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: are still playing for stuff as well.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: It's not like Houston's the only team playing for something here.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: So I know the park, all of that. It's just,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: I get it. But I mean, their run total isn't
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: that much higher. I mean, they're sitting at right around five,
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: five and a half Dodgers are right there. White Sox
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: are right there. Milwaukee's not far behind Cleveland, Atlanta aren't
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: far behind. So, I mean, all five of those teams
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: are significantly lower owned. Maybe Cleveland a little bit just
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: because of their salaries, but I don't know if I
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: really believe that as well. So, I mean, you're talking
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: five other teams that are right there in line with
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: them at much lower ownership. So that's the only thing.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Can't really say much more outside of ownership on Houston.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: They do look like the best. You look at Jacob
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Lopez against righties, 340 ISO allowed, fly ball rate of
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: almost 50%. Over the last month, I mean, even over
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: the course of the season, almost 400 plate appearances, he's
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: got a 40% fly ball rate in this ballpark. That's
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: why he pitches terrible there. I'm also kind of a
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Jacob Lopez believer. I do think there's a good pitcher
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: under there somewhere. This is just a miserable matchup for him.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: He's gotten hit hard by righties all season long. Velasquez
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: is super cheap. He's a pinch hit risk, so be
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: worried on him.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: It's either a home run or a strikeout with this guy.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: But I do think he's playable.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Paredes would be my favorite guy overall. in this lineup
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: if he does crack it. I actually like kind of
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: the Parides, Yiner Diaz, something like that, and Cam Smith.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: So I like that kind of 3-5-7, something like that,
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: depending on where those guys shake out, is kind of
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: my three favorite guys.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Overall of the Astros.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Last two games to talk about, Angels, Mariners, Bryce Miller,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: probably the consensus SP2 value punt pitcher that everyone's going
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: to go to. in the matchup here because of the props,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: because of his projection, the matchup against the Angels, which
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: we know bleed strikeouts. Reid Detmers on the other side.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: Don't love the Mariners here, but J-Rod, I think he
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: can always play against the lefty. Outside of that, I
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: don't really love it. Randy Rosarena, Cal Raleigh, but those
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: guys are 44, 49, and 54. I don't really want
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: to be spending on– I don't want to be spending
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: that kind of salary to pick on a good pitcher.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: So I don't love it.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Angels would be my preferred side, but I still don't
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: love playing the Angels who just don't have a ton
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: of power in Seattle. I know you get the leverage,
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: but it's not like Miller's going to be 40% owned.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, the dude's going to be maybe 20%, 20
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: to 25 max. So 75% of the field's not playing him.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: So I don't think there's enough there. I don't love
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: this game for offense.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I don't like this game at all.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: After thinking about it a little bit, I actually would
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: prefer the Rockies over the Angels. I think they're similar
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: enough where you could obviously interchange them, but because of
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: the ballpark, give me the Rockies in that scenario, and
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I'm out on this game for offense because the Mariners
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: are one of the worst stacks on the slate. Facing
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: a good pitcher, they're expensive, and the pitcher they're facing
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: isn't even going to be popular, so I don't see it.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Seattle's bullpen's good too, so that even downgrades the Angels
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: even more. Um, it's basically the same kind of spot
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: on paper.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Rockies have more power against, uh, their opposing hand in
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: this picture.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: And it's a worse bullpen or a better bullpen to
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: target for DFS perspective from the Rockies, um, White Sox
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: bullpens worse than, than, than Seattle. So last game on
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: slate though, giants Dodgers, uh, Dodgers look really good here.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Um, ownership is not going to really be there.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: Um, which is crazy to say, I know we'll see
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: what kind of lineup the Dodgers roll out here.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I'd be shocked if Otani is in there. Who knows?
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe he is.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: But how do you see the Dodgers? Dodgers do look
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: really good if you can afford them. They are expensive.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not playing the Dodgers over pitching personally is kind
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: of how I see it. So Dodgers kind of fit
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: in the that mini stack like two and three man
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: kind of stacks. Or maybe I go to like a
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: Gavin Williams and a gasser and play the Dodgers instead
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: of playing the Astros.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Something like that is where my Dodgers exposure is going
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: to come from. Looked really good, not facing a good pitcher,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: a really bad bullpen. Giants are just stone dead. The
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: ballpark sucks, but again, everywhere outside of Sacramento sucks. So
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: it's all retrospect. It's all relative to the slate. I mean,
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: you're not going to go out there and see a
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: massive home run record in terms of the home runs
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: hit tonight.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: So how do you see it?
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this is a tough fade because the
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Dodgers are so good and Marte is not good, but
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: in this ballpark at these price tags, It's just tough
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: for me to prioritize the Dodgers here. They destroyed Marte
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: in his last start. You needed the Dodgers as a
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: stack that night. I know I didn't play them that
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: night either, and it burned me. But tonight, in San
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Francisco now, they're so expensive. Like you mentioned, I could
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: see playing them in mini stacks or one-offs. Marte's not good.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers will score runs here. But they're going
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: to have to do a lot tonight. to be the
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: winning team on this slate with the pitching and their
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: price tags in this park. So I'm a probably not
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: play the Dodgers. If I'm playing one lineup, I'm not
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: playing them in limited lineups. I'll probably have some exposure
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: as far as one-offs and mini stacks and that's it. Um,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: and then completely out on the giants. I mean, I
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: don't know if you're stacking the giants tonight. Good luck. Yeah, no.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Um, I agree.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: Um, Dodgers do look, uh, look better for, for, like
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: I said, two and three man stacks. Cause I'm not
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: going to sacrifice my, my spend of pitching for just
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: to play a five man Dodger stack. So if I
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: can make it work with, like I said, those, maybe
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: two of those guys in that AK range, which there's
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: a bunch of them with upside that we like, right.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Like a Hunter Brown, a Gavin Williams.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: If I can make it work with those and play
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: maybe the back half of the Dodgers lineup, the cheaper guys,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: I think that that's the way I'll prioritize it there. Um,
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Got a question in the chat talking about the Cleveland lineup.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: It's exactly what I saw as projected. So Kwon, J-Ram,
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: De Lauder, Adele, Angel Martinez, David Frye, Bazana, Hedges, and Rocchio.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I want this dub, man. Yeah.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's their projected lineup. It's their best lineup
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: that they can roll out at this time against left-handed pitching.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm in.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, there is pinch hit risk with guys like
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: David Frye. He's probably the main guy, I would say, right?
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: He's the main guy. He's the, I would only play
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Fry in a stack personally. I mean, he's awful and
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: he's going to get pinch hit for, but maybe he
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: comes up with the bases load and his first tip
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: at or something. So in a stack, I would maybe
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: have a little bit of exposure, but yeah, pinch hit
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: risk is real for him. Other than that, I don't
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: think it's prevalent at all. Yeah.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, really, let me, let me just look one,
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: one thing here, Cleveland. Let me just look at these
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: pinch hit percentages here real quick.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: One second. I think, I mean, he's the biggest guy really. Yeah.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Cause they got lefties in there. All their main lefties. Yeah.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, Hedges, Hedges, Hedges, maybe a little bit, but
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're really going to bring in Patrick
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: Bailey off the bench. Yeah.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: That's just cause Hedges stinks anyway. So like you're only
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: playing him in a stack. You know what I mean?
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: It's really, it's really Hedges and Fry are the only
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: two guys that even have kind of a remote chance.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: So stack only for those guys. Don't want to play
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: them in a one-off, but yeah. I think we broke
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: it down pretty good here, Matt. Let's go to the
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: end of the show. Your top three pitchers, your top
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: three stacks, and a home run call if you have one.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: I'll do the same, and we'll close out the season
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: strong here.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: All right, top three pitchers. We will go with Gavin. Oh, man.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: We'll go with– I like the Rockies call, but I
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: still like Burke. And we're going to leave Scooble off.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: We're going to go Hunter Brown. I love that call.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I love the matchup. Houston's still fighting. He's their best
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: option right now, so I think they're going to let
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: him go here. Used the pen last night, so I'm
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: in on Hunter Brown as my third pitcher. Stacks, let's
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: go with White Sox, Cleveland, Houston. Those are my top three.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: And then home run, I'm feeling it. I know he
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: hasn't done it much in the second half of the season,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: J-Ram going yard here.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: J-Ram.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Alrighty. Let's do it.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: For me, I'm going Gavin, Hunter Brown, and then I
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: will go read Detmers. Those kind of three guys I
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: like a lot. Soriano I think is interesting as well.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: And then Gasser are kind of the main guys that
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: are all going to be contrarian, really, outside of Gavin Williams.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: And he's even not going to get a ton of
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: ownership because people just want to prioritize Tariq's school ball,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: which I get it. He's got a 25 projection right around,
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, in between 24 and 25 points. There's cheap
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: bats to make it work, like Cleveland, like some of
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: the other spots we talk about. I'm a little bit
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: worried on him, especially with the injury concerns that he
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: had when he came back. And Dodgers are going to
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: need him in the playoffs big time. So a little worried.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: Would not be shocked if he's the highest scoring guy.
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: But at 11K, he kind of got to sacrifice some spots,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: at least some stacking spots, to get to him. So
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at a little bit cheaper guys overall. My
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: top stacks, I'm going White Sox.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Number one. I will go Brewers, number two. I think
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: the Brewers are super interesting here. And then I will.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: Throw in the Rockies. An unowned Rockies team and an
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: unowned D-backs team. Those are kind of my two unowned
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: squads that I like quite a bit more than the field. Obviously,
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: Houston is the best overall spot on the slate, but
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: I am a little worried about them. I prefer them
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: more as mini stacks. And then my home run call.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: Let me, let's see. I'll go to my top overall
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: stack on the slate. I'll go to the White Sox
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: and I will go to Man, we got to do it.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: We got to do it.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: This guy's treated me well all season long. Actually, you
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: know what, Matt? I'm going to go. Murakami feels like cheating.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do it.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go back.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's your guy today.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Murakami?
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you started the show by saying how stupid cheap
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: he was, and I kind.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Of had that. Yeah, I'm going to do it. I'm
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: going to do it. You did J-Ram.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go Murakami. I'll throw an ancillary one
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: in there, Tristan Peters. I mean, I love this dude.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: He never gets played. He's 3,300 outfield. So if you
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: can't make Murakami work, you're afraid of fading Christian Walker
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: or something like that at first base, give me Tristan Peters, 3,300
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: at the outfield as well. So love the White Sox.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I expect them to hopefully hit a home run or
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: two or three or four. And, yeah, hopefully we find
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: our way to the top of the leaderboards here I
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: know I'm in a bunch of satellites as well here
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: tonight chasing some 555 milli tickets for NFL main slate. But, Bellman,
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: any closing remarks to close out the season here before
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: we get out of here?
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: No, man. Fun season. Fun show. Like I said earlier,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: it's bittersweet, but mostly bitter because I love MLB. I
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: love doing these shows. But, yeah, we'll get on some
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: NFL stuff soon, and I'll get to see your pretty
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: face soon enough. Yeah.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, man.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: It's been a pleasure. We appreciate everyone tuning in in
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: the chat. Checkmate, Michael, Andrew Martinez, everyone throughout the whole season. Obviously,
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: not a lot of people still playing MLB DFS at
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: September 25th, but there's still money to be made. Contests
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: are still really good. Playoff baseball is one of my
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: favorites as well. I love playoff baseball. The staggered starts
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: is great. There's a lot more game theory. There's more
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: pinch hit and stuff like that. But really, I mean,
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: you know, the guys are going to be there. The
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: main team, the teams roll with the main guys pretty
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: much every time.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: So it's more predictable. I think there's different ways to
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: attack it. Right.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in the discord and stuff, but
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: appreciate everyone tuning in all season long.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: Can't, I can't thank you guys enough. This is why
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: we do these free shows here. Subscribe. If you haven't
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: already this channel, we do have a ton of free
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: NFL shows.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: NHL is right around the corner as well. I'll be
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: doing some shows, for the bigger slates throughout the year there.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: MMA is still going on. PGA is right around the
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: corner again, which is crazy.

  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's going to do it.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: So hit that like button, hit that subscribe button on

• 53:39
  Speaker 3: you'll see me and Bellman very soon on some NFL
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: shows together for sure.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: For Bellman, I'm Nades. Good luck tonight in those contests.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: Close the season out strong. Let's get it.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: We're out of here. Peace.
