Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It is time for total bases.
It's Monday, we kick off a new week. We are
we've hit the home stretch boys two weeks left of
the regular season. And Brian, if I gotta say this,
if the chat has listened to you and just straight
up that your theory of if you need to win
at this point, you weren't that great of a team
in the first place. You're probably printing money right now,
especially in the National League, because every team that has
needed to win per se has lost for the fat
past week or so. I'm talking about teams like the Mets,
right And maybe that's not even the best example, but
the teams I think the better example is these teams
chasing the Mets. The Reds went to West Sacramento got
swept this weekend. You know, the Giants that was sitting
right there for them at home. They lost back to
back games to close out the week. It's been kind
of incredible to watch. The Mets did finally win yesterday,
but they've let everyone back into the race, which is
great for us. I guess as fans, we now have
a wild card race in the National League. That's where
I want to start Today, the Arizona Diamondbacks are two
games out of a playoff spot. Two games are seventy
five and seventy five, six and four in their last
ten games. They won both of their weekend games to
now draw to just two back of the Mets. Brian,
I've said this whole time, they have a postseason caliber lineup,
they just haven't had the pitching. So d Backs, Giants
essentially playoff baseball. Where are you going with this one tonight?
Speaker 2: Yeah, last two weeks of baseball. Most teams have twelve
games left, and you mentioned the Diamondbacks are about a
five percent chance to make the playoffs. Now, the Reds
about a five percent, Giants about a ten percent. Even
as well as Cleveland's playing, they've only got eleven percent.
So the Mets. I only got the win yesterday, and
I think it was to me because I had a
small play against them, and I like the way Texas
was playing as opposed to the Mets, and the Mets
ends up getting that home run late and getting that victory.
But yeah, it's it's right now. It's it's tough to win.
It's tough to win anytime, and when people say that,
it's important to win at the end of the season
as opposed to the beginning. No mathematically a win and
just as good as a win. Now, so anybody who
says that clearly does not know math. But you've got
to pack up these wins. Look at all the wins
the Cubs packed up early in the season, and now
they haven't played well since the all start breaking. Still
they don't need to win, so you need to pay
attention to that. But yeah, we're looking at San Francisco
against Arizona. Tang going for San Francisco, Gallon going for Arizona.
We're looking at basically Arizona's about it. Yeah, maybe a
one thirty favorite right now of nine slightly to the over.
And when you take a look at the numbers from
Kaiwai Tang seven point five to two ERA but only
a three point sixty nine expected, his whip is horrendous
at one point seven to six. In fact, he's pitched
thirty three innings in the major leagues. He's got a
he's got an eight point twenty nine ERA one point
eighty seven whip. Now, it's a small, very small sample
size of thirty three total innings for two seasons here,
but if you look at his savant page, and he
hasn't pitched enough yet, but his fasketball velost season the
twenty eight percent sits in thirty fourth, does have problems
with walks. He's at thirteen percent walk rate this year,
but his barrel rate has been excellent hard everything else
has been very good. So I think if you were
to bet Tang the rest of the season, he would
be profitable. Going with Zach Gallon here, who has turned
his season around a little bit, but he still comes
in with a four point eight four, a four point
five to one expected one point two to eight whip,
and really, other than his ground ball rate and existension
which is slightly over league average, everything else is in
the blue. He's not having his good season. He still
throws his four seamer forty six percent of the time,
even though it's one and a half mile per hour
lower than an average right hander. It's pitching better now
than he did earlier. But I'm not so sure Arizona
deserves to be favored here, and there has been some
money coming in on San Francisco. Yeah, I leaned with
San Francisco in this one, just because I trust Tang's
STATCAS number more than his actual numbers that he's placed.
And yeah, two teams fighting for the playoffs here in
Arizona's got the better offense. San Francisco for what three
weeks was the best offense of baseball. Now they're slowing
down a little bit and coming back to the back
to it. They are bringing up their first basement Aldridge
I believe his name is, and he's the number one
prospect and they're bringing him up. We'll see how that
goes last couple of weeks of the season. Don't know
how much we'll play, but at least he gets up
there and he gets to look at it. I prefer
San Francisco here as a dog. Don't know if it'll
make my cart. It's a smaller card today, so don't
know if it'll get there, but I'm leaning that way.
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, nice to be back. If I look different
and sound different, it's because I'm on my laptop in
my Phoenix home. But yeah, long flight. I'm in the
US now. If you check my Twitter, which is I
think down there, you'll see I've been posting my bet
slips because I'm going to the casino at least twice
a day, so not a djen or anything, not at all.
But it's very nice to be back. Hey, doing this
show in the morning is quite a different feel. If
I lived in the US, I would not have agreed
to doing the show at this time. What a trooper
six in the morning. But anyway, so yeah, regarding this game,
this is interesting. You pick this game to start. I
have this game the tightest matchup of all these two teams.
Tight hitting, they're both top ten bullpen, they're both bottom ten,
and starting pitching is really the only difference. But Gallen Gallen,
although he's a trusted veteran, he's still only four points overtang.
I got them both right around twenty out of thirty
on a curve of thirty. So man, this is just
tight all the way up and down. Brian mentioned that
the Diamondbacks are just two games out of the playoffs,
well so as San Francisco teams have a chance. So
they're both fighting, so there's no real edge regarding that.
And so I took a look at Gallen's history against
these batters. Nothing special. He's pretty average. Actually, He's got
like about a two twenty batting average against in about
a seven to fifty ops. So no real edge there either,
so if all things are equal, you have more value
betting the underdog. So I kind of agree with Brian's sentiments.
And also I agree with Brian. I'm not there yet,
so I haven't bet it, but if I were to
bet it, I think San Francisco would be the only
way to go here.
Speaker 1: Tb you could, you could go to this game if
you wanted to. How far are you in Phoenix?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's yeah, it's fifteen minutes from my.
Speaker 1: House, right, I say. My buddy, one of my best
friends growing up, moved to the Phoenix, Arizona area, and
he'll text me all the time. It'll be like I'm
sitting third row for like twenty bucks, like because we
grew up going out to Fenway, going to Yankee Stadium.
He lived in Boston for a while, and I mean,
just like you know, it's it's it's never a cheap ticket.
And he lives in Arizona now he's like, this is awesome.
Like my wife and I go dirt cheap and we
sit like right behind the dugouts. So it's just like
being in a smaller market. But yeah, huge game, And
I'm with you guys, the Giants definitely show some value here.
So I want to talk about Kaiwai tangs Triple A
numbers for a second. They're crazy in Triple A this year.
He's got a three sixty three hour er. But the
thing that jumps out the most to me eighty nine
strikeouts in fifty seven innings at Triple A. That is
a lot of swing and miss. I know it's Triple
A and and and it maybe hasn't you know, materialized
at the big league level yet, but like like Brian said,
small sample size at the big league level. If I'm
I'm going off of memory, I think he pitched against
the Padres in back to back games, and there was
the first game his defense totally let him down, like
someone botched a double playball that like continued this inning
and then the same Padres team got to see him
like a day later or six days later. Sorry, so
you know, I I again I'm going off memory here.
I know he pitched well against the Nationals. Point is,
he hasn't had a ton of time at the big
league level yet, and last year he wasn't very good.
Like he he made a lot of changes in the
offseason that have that have helped him a ton going
into this year. Uh they talked about it in a
Sacramento river Cats broadcast one time. That's why I know that.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: At in Triple A this year, he is a one
point one ninety seven batting average against. And the strikeout
rate is crazy. I am not Brian can do the
math for me. There eighty what are we eighty nine
strikeouts in fifty seven innings? That's like insane, right, Like
that's insane numbers even at any level.
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically everybody won in the major leagues. It's one
to one, basically slightly slightly around win to one. So
even in the miners, that's amazing. And I just wanted
to point out while while we're doing the show and
we're talking about how early it is for Brandon, he
reached for a diet coke as opposed to his so
you know, earlier in the morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I wonder how many people like don't
realize he's in Japan and just think he's like hitting
fireball at nine am, Like, if you're on the East coast, up,
he's got the fireball at nine am. Yeah, two things.
Speaker 3: Now, I can see why Brian was making those faces.
When I'm when I'm swigging fireball, I couldn't imagine drinking
right now at six as.
Speaker 1: Two things in that that people in the chat have
brought up that I think are great points. Well, Colin
and Brian said this as well. Bryce Eldridge huge call up.
I mean, I don't know how he's going too fair
right off the bat at the big league level, but
this dude has insane power, Like just just from a
straight up like standpoint of putting a power bat in
the lineup, that is a massive upgrade. The problem isn't
the reason that he probably hasn't been called up yet
a little too much swing and miss, and they're probably
I think he would get exposed at the big league
level pretty quickly, but you know what, there's two weeks
left in the season. No one knows how to pitch
him yet, so like, I mean, you're probably gonna hit
him fit their sixth and suddenly you have like a
big time home run threat. I understand what they're doing
with him. And then Steve Duke says, someone has major
belief in Tang. They're letting him try to lower his er. Yeah,
when you have eighty nine strikeouts and fifty seven Triple
A innings. Like, people are gonna believe in you a
little bit. I'm a believer in him as well. Like
I'm a believer in him as well because of what
they've sort of pointed out on the river Cats broadcast
this year, all of the different tweaks he made last
season to this season. He throws a lot of different pitches.
So guys with like a pretty extensive pitch mix, especially
starting pitchers when teams haven't seen them much, it's, you know,
they tend to be a little bit tougher to figure out.
I'd much rather have the Giants here against Gallon, a
guy that I think has been sort of overvalued all season,
than try to lay a price against the unknown, in
this case, the unknown being someone I think is pretty good.
So I'm with you, guys, Giants definitely show value here
for sure. Brian, Is that a Vandy hatt Now that's
the Vegas Golden Knights right there, Markinson.
Speaker 2: Vegas Golden Knights. It's getting to be hockey season, and
my second love other in baseball, is hockey, so I'm
getting excited. And our last Vegas Aces, the w NBA
team won the first playoff game yesterday. So yeah, it's
a good time to be in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Admittedly, I never got super in the hockey, which is
really dumb because I live in the Northeast and it's
so big up here. But I go to college hockey
games sometimes and they are a blast. So I have
to say, like, even though I know nothing about the
sport going to the hockey games, we go to Colgate
games all the time. I promised they wouldn't bring them up,
but I did on the show again. But we go
over to Colgate hockey games all the time and they
are awesome, so much fun.
Speaker 2: So hockey games are the most fun out of any
sport I've ever but I haven't been. I'm not a
soccer fan, and I guess soccer would be outside of
the United States or whatever. It's exciting for those guys,
for me, it's not. But yeah, I never handicaps hockey
until Love Veas got a team, and ever since I
just in love with the sport.
Speaker 3: Hockey is by far the best sport to watch live.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really fun to watch live. I still it's
mind boggling to me that Syracuse University doesn't have a
hockey team. I feel like that they should be like
so big time in college hockey and they don't have
a team. Go figure, uh, but we'll move on. Let's stay.
I want to stay in the National League playoff picture
because somehow, and I just want to make sure I'm
speaking correctly here before I go to this game. Yes,
somehow that beat Saint Louis Cardinals should be so dead
and buried at this point. But like even them, and
they would this would be pretty far fetched for them
to get back into it. But even the Saint Louis
Cardinals are only four games back and they start a
series with the Cincinnati Reds where Brian Leonard, I don't know,
how do you get off the mat after you were
swept by the A's in the situation the Reds were
swept in where it's like they're giving you every opportunity
to take over that last spot and you couldn't go
to West Sacramento and get one win. That being said,
do you like this spot for them in Saint Louis tonight?
Do you see them sort of bouncing back here?
Speaker 2: I am in agreement a young team in Cincinnati, the
changes that they've made at the All Star break and
since the All star break and what they brought in
for the runs to tell me in one of them
they not really worked out. We're looking at the libratorre
at home about a one o eight one ten favorite
and Littel eight and a half basically across the board
on the total. I was looking in a way to
play Saint Louis here. Don't know if I'll get here.
If you take a look Zach Lyttel three point seven
eight e RA four point six to soho expected one
point one to two whip. He doesn't walk anybody, and
he's got a pretty good chase rate, but everything else
is in the blue. He has not had that grade
of a season, even though his ERA is is good
at three point seven eight. I'm not a buyer in him.
Like I said, the last three years he beat is
expected era, and I just don't think he's that great
of a pitcher. Not that not that he doesn't have
value at times, because anybody's got value based on the
line of the game. But I'm not a big fan Libertor.
I thought we'd get more out of Libratory at this
time in his career. He's in four seasons. He got
a four point seven one one point three whip. It's
starting to show that he is not anything special. His
chase rates decent is sixty seven, doesn't walk anybody seventy
nine percentile. But once again we see a lot of
blue on his stat cast page. So we got two
pitch I would look to go against. But we're getting
an eight and a half here as opposed to an eight.
Don't know if I'll get there with the over, especially Cincinnati,
we could trust them anymore, especially on the road. So
this is the game I'll be sitting out. But I
had to off to Saint Louis. They've been out of
it for so long. They've had a lot of injuries
on this team, just some key players, and yet they
come out and they continue to play well. That's an
organizational situation. They're a very good organization. And I've been
to a lot of Major League ballparks across the country,
and Saint Louis has got very knowledgeable fans. They when
there's a flyball hit, they don't go crazy like every
other sport. They look where the outfielders are at. And
it's something I taught my wife years ago. Just look
at the outfielders when the ball is hit. If they're
not moving, it's not home unless it's really at four
hundred and fifty feet and they just stit in there
and watch it. But yeah, it's I'm not gonna get
involved in this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if the outfielders are jogging slowly towards the fence,
it's usually a home run. But yeah, here's one if
if if you checked my Twitter account, my Twitter x account,
I did post a bet slip on this. So I
kind of agree with Brian's cap, but I kind of
gonna go the opposite direction, and I'll tell you why.
But before I do that, go to wagertalk dot com
and see what we have up. I already put my
feature MLB play up with a free play as well.
I'm sure these two gentlemen will be doing the same
thing if they have not already. So wages talk dot
com check the free play page because we all usually
have something up. I agree with Brian, neither picture has
good history against the batters are facing today, and neither
pitcher gets a lot of confidence from me because neither
one has been performing very well. So got to look
somewhere to find some value. Again, I agree with Brian.
I would lean to an over given the fact that
both starting pitchers are struggling, especially against in the head
to head, but neither lineup is actually instilling confidence in
me either. They're both ranked twenty one or worse out
of thirty teams in current form, and both bullpens are
basically kind of average, toiling in mediocrity. As I like
to say, Cincinnati's slight edge and bullpen. This is one
of those games where I have one team better at
every category than the other team, but just better by
like one or two points, so it's not a huge confidence.
But I got Cincinnati ranked higher than Saint Louis in
almost every category, but only by a couple points. Another
thing I like more about Lttel than I like about
Lebatore is his walk to strike out rate. He's only
walking twenty seven percent of the batters he's striking out,
where Librator is walking about forty percent, but neither I
don't see a huge discrepancy between these two teams anywhere
else besides there, but just the fact that the Reds
are a little bit better at almost everything than Saint Louis.
If you checked my Twitter account, you saw I did
put a small twenty dollars bet on the Reds minus
one minus one is one of those things where if
your team wins, you don't lose your money, So I
look at it as a very low risk bet, and
I got the Reds minus one at I think plus
one forty five, So it's worth a twenty dollars play
to win forty seven bucks to meet because I have
these two teams the second most equal cap of the day.
But the Red's a little bit better at almost everything,
so I think it was worth a small play there,
but nothing huge.
Speaker 1: Mark Martin in the chat says, if anyone has Caesars
tonight's matchup between the Texans and Bucks, you can get
it like a price that's fifty cents off. Mark, I'll
always point something like that out. Those are that's just
folks helping folks here trying to beat the books. Like
if any if there's ever a scenario where a book
is going to give you a bet at plus one
fifteen that the market is minus one fifty aut, you
should probably try to wait to try to find a
way to get down on it. Just straight up numbers.
I mean that happens every once in a while. So
thanks for sharing that Mark, I will I will share
if I play Major League Baseball today, I'm going to
give it out for free. I have a five percent
NFL play up. I did lose my first NFL game
of the season yesterday, but I'm still five and one
and I have a five percent that goes in Monday
Night Football tonight. So check that out. And like I said,
if I do get to the window with a Major
League Baseball game today, it's going to be a free
one and maybe who knows, maybe it'll happen on the show.
But if it doesn't happen on the show, I'll probably
do a video for it or post the right So
I will not be selling Major League Baseball today, just
tell you that right now. Not committing of playing it though,
because there's only some of There's only nine games, so
I got to see if I can find a way
in the way I would go into this one. Probably
won't be a client play, but I kind of do
see runs. Not not enamored with either of these starting pitchers.
Both have you know, like we kind of use this term,
but both have a lot of blue on the stat
cast page. Expected era is not you know, expected batting
average not great Matthew Libertore isn't getting a ton of
swing and miss in the zone. He gets guys to
chase pitches, but when it comes time to like punch
him out and he's got a sort of come back
into the zone or he's behind in the count a
little bit, it's very much out over the heart of
the plate. I think that's been one of the big
reasons he hasn't really taken a step forward. You know,
he's almost like man the Rays traded him. You know,
if the Rays are willing to part ways with someone,
you know, there's got to be something wrong with them
at this point. I think that I think, just going
off topic here, I'm pretty sure this is who they
scan the Cardinals for. It to get Randy at Rosarana
back as like a player to be named later in
a trade. It's like just like an all time fleesh
job by the by the Rays, who are just very
good at doing that. Point is the point I'm trying
to make here, is very roundabout point. He's looked very average.
I think he may. You know, you look at his
last three years whips like one three, one three eight
Era's in the mid forest. My gut and my eyes
are telling me that that's probably what he is. He's
just kind of a consistently okay big league starter, someone
you want to have you keep in your rotation because
he's consistent. But I just don't know that he's like
shutting many teams down, and I don't think he's going
to shut the Reds down. On the other side, Like
Brian said about Lattel, I mean, you know, expected eiras
four six zero, expected batting average two seventy. Those are
not great. Only throwing like ninety one miles an hour.
Not now again, no strikeout there either. I guess his
best attribute is he doesn't walk anyone. But like that's
not great if you're just if you're you know, being
being in and around the plate is a good thing.
Being out over the plate not a good thing. These
are big league hitters. They can they can hit that.
And then I'll go back to the fact that we're
getting the nice number of eight and a half. I
love that number on and over because you know, you
both both teams get to four and you're cashing a
ticket in major League Baseball, So I like the over
here probably won't make my card, but that is the
way I look at this game. I also think both
teams have bullpens that can be had if you will,
they can give up a timely hit or two. And
these two games, and that's don't play today. So these
two games, we've started the show with them today. There's
a half game to be made up. If you win.
I mean, they're all going to be going for it.
And this game, in particular, Mike my gut tells me
Red's Cardinals have a late run or two a late hit.
None of these teams have like super high leverage arms
that I trust. So again that just helps me to
over eight and a half runs. Sorry, we're what are
you gonna follow up?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 1: I rambled, which is not as par for the course
for me.
Speaker 3: We can go to a different one, all right, Sorry
about that?
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to a different Let's go to
a different game. Let's go to let's stay in. I
want to make sure we'll get to some of the
quote unquote meaningless games, but I do want to try
to focus on some of the games with meaning. I'm
going to go to the American League here, Rangers Astros
is suddenly a very important well not sudden, it's just
a very important game. Brian said, he missed with the
Rangers yesterday. But they've been playing great. They've played their
way back into the mix the NL West. Don't look now,
but there's my Mariners back at the top of the
division by a game and the Rangers are three back.
This So when I gave out on my free pick
video last Tuesday, the Rangers were twelve to one to
win this division, and this was the series I had
circled where it's like, this is the series they need
to have success in and they might be able to
run down in the Astro. Well, here we are. Rangers
did their job last week, seven and three in their
last ten games. They're three games back and they get
head to head games against the you know, one of
the teams that they're chasing here in the Astros. I
like Jack Lighter. He's someone that I think is moving
in the right direction. So, Brian Leonard, do you think
he's good enough to get the Rangers to win on
the road here.
Speaker 2: It's going up against Jason Alexander Houston, and Houston's about
a one to twenty five favorite total late in a
half to the under Jack Leder. Yeah, he's pitched better lately,
I don't. I think he got hit pretty well his
last start, But overall, I like the way he's You
put that very well. He's trending in the right direction,
and I agree because his numbers are not overall great.
Three point eight one ERA, four point sixty three expected
one point three to one whip. His fastball veloss, he's
very good. His extension is very good. He's only six
six foot one but got eighty ninth percentile extension. Those
are the highlights. Everything else is in thel so there is.
He shows you how poorly he pitched it many times
this season, but I think he's going up there. He's
got the good fastball ninety seven point two miles an
hour he throws at thirty eight percent of the time.
One of the few guys that probably could get away
with throwing it even more. And I don't say that
much about fastballs, but he's had good success there. Jason Alexander,
I was pitched better when I thought this year four
point one ninety RA four point five to seven expected
one point three to one whip. But he can't get
eight chases at all. He's in the first percentile and
chase rate part hit rate eleventh percent, tile fastball velocity
ten percent. Tle He's really not a good pitcher, and
for him to come in this season with a four
to one record. Obviously they scored some runs when he
is on the mound, but out of the two, I
prefer later. I you know, we're looking at a really
a weaker Texas lineup than what we saw earlier. Obviously
Siger has been out. He's out for the rest of
the year. IF have some other guys that are disappointed offensively,
but if I play it, Texas probably the only way
I go. But I don't think we're getting enough here.
You can catch one point thirteen is the best comeback
on Texas as low as you know, plus one hundred
right now, but I prefer the Texas side. I'm just
not getting the number I wanted, so unfortunately, I'll probably
set this one out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, go to wajytalk dot com and see what
we have up. My feature MLB play is already up
along with a free play, so go grab that. Some
of my casino betting tickets are posted on Twitter right now,
so check my Twitter out as well. I agree with Brian,
I'm not going to play this game and I'll tell
you why. Two pitchers who have one point three plus whips.
Not a lot of confidence in that. But leaders a
lighter is a strange guy because he's got a really
good era with a bad whip. You take a look
at his head to head stats against these batters, not
a huge stamp size, but thirty three is decent to
twelve batting average against with the seven forty ops not terrible.
It's actually pretty good. But if you take a look
at his rankings, I have Alexander ranked quite a bit
higher than him, so I'm kind of at a stalemate there.
Don't really know what to make. It's kind of the
pitching matchup here is kind of an enigma to me.
Texas definitely has a bullpen advantage in current form. I
have them ranked five, while I have Houston ranked thirteen,
but both bullpens performing quite well, so over under not sure.
Let's take a look at the batting. I got the
Astros batting just a little bit better in current form,
about five points higher. A stalemate for me, guys, I
don't know which way to go here. I think Jason
Alexander is a better pitcher, but if you peel back
the skin of the onion or or whatever that saying is.
Leader is actually a pretty decent pitcher. He was one
of my chronic walkers at the beginning of the season,
but he's kind of cured that a little bit. So
I'm not gonna bet his walk prop here either, So
don't really know where to go. I'm with Brian here.
I'll probably lay off this game.
Speaker 1: Someone needs to explain to me how Jason Alexander has
not gotten absolutely pummeled at the big league level this year.
I need someone like to give me a thorough explanation
at how's that's how that's possible? This dude should be
getting lit up like a Christmas tree, but he's just not.
And sometimes there's something to that, right, Like I mean,
he gets no swing and miss, so it's like everything's
in the zone. There's not he throws. He essentially throws
four pitches, none of which he doesn't have like a
plus pitch. So when I see a guy that I
think should be getting hit, I'm trying to figure out, like, Okay,
why is this not? Why does this guy not get hit? Okay?
And so I look for swing and miss, Well, he's
not getting any swing and miss. Does he have a
really good pitch? Does he have a really good differential?
That's confusing someone? Not really sinker change sweeper for steamer
ninety to ninety two on his fastballs in eighty mile
an hour change up. It's not like he has this
great wipeout sweeper. So I look at him, just like,
how is this guy not getting crushed by big league hitting?
I don't know. My gut says he still should be
getting crushed by big lead pitching. I meant big lea pitching. Sorry,
so I can only go against that. I just I
cannot understand how he's getting out, Like what did he
do in his last start? Seven scoreless? Something crazy like that?
Seven scoreless against the Blue Jays? What am I?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: I need to know what I'm missing here? How is
he going against the Blue Jays and not giving up
a single run? I mean he's a right he's right
handed pitcher. So then I'm like, is he a lefty?
Is he like kind of crafty? Does he confuse guys?
I just I can't figure it out. I feel like
this guy should begin crushed at the big league level. Now,
Colin makes a good point. He goes Astros system working
their magic with a random pitcher. They definitely have done
that at times, so maybe he's, you know, maybe the
end and he did not like one thing. I'll also
point out he did not start the year in the
Astro system, so some of those numbers he was with
the A's. I do think he got a call up
with the A's earlier this year for a period of time,
got knocked around, ended up down at sugar Land. Now
he's with the Astros. I still have to look to
fade him. And as far as Jack Lighter's concerned, I'll
say this again, I said this last week when he
came up. I think the Rangers maybe mismanaged him and
the Miners a little bit here. That so last year
Jack Lighter very young, top prospect. Typically you don't call
these guys up on a win, and the Rangers did
it like three times last year where it was like
emergency twenty seventh man for a doubleheader, they called up Lighter.
He got crushed, bad situation for him. Then he goes
down to the Miners. He's pitching well.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: I remember it was the A's because the Ages called
up as Valdo Bido on the same day and it
was like Okay, let's just throw the two triple A
starters that we're supposed to pitch that day. In the mix,
Lighter gets called up crushed. So it's like they kind
of killed his confidence last year, and then this year
he's at the big league level and suddenly like he's
he's got stuff to work out and they're trying to
have him do it at the big league level. So
when you look at his profile, it's like he's got
this great fastball ninety eight miles an now, big big arm,
big time heater, great extension, and it's like he just
hasn't really developed the out pitches yet. But that's where
I say he's trending in the right direction because I
think he's I think that stuff is now. You know,
we're in what mid September. I think he started to
develop that a little bit, and I think you've seen
it with him, like post All Star Break, he's been
much better. So when I look at this game, Lighter's
a guy I want to bet on. Alexander's the guy
I want to fade. I'm not in love with how
many relievers the Rangers have used the last week or so,
but I've said this all year about the Rangers bullpen.
They don't they don't have like these big time leverage arms.
It's more of a depth thing. So it's like this,
the sixth guy out of the Rangers pen is like
kind of the same as the first or second. So
I'm less concerned about Rangers bullpen usage. Then I would
be like, let's say another team that has like huge
closer eighth inning guy, and then there's a big drop off.
So I'm definitely considering the Rangers here. I don't know
if it's gonna be my parlay leg I want to
see how the rest of the show plays out, but
plus one ten on the Rangers, and this spot seems
very intriguing with Lighter against Alexander. Okay, let's go to
I want to go to Markinson. Somehow lost his comment.
I lost his comment anyway, Markinson wants to talk raise JS.
I don't know where the comment went, but uh, it's
there something and he wants to talk raise JS and
I'm fine with that. This Brian is I think this
is a great illustration of why there's like more value
in Major League Baseball than any of the other pro sports,
because you just don't get the nuance like like you
do in other pro sports, where you have a team
like the Blue Jays who are probably gonna win their
division and they're gonna call up one of their young
guys and you're and a lot of people are really
not sure why. And I think if you can like
kind of understand how some of this stuff works, it's
a good assessment of value. So I'll let you start.
But this looks like Blue Jays Rays. We should see
the Major League gave you here of Trey Savage for
the Blue Jays. Do you have a starter for the
Rays yet?
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: I think it might be Boil. I think it might
be Joe Boyle, but I don't know if that's confirmed
at this time.
Speaker 3: Yesterday they put they put Pepio up quickly and then
took it down, so maybe it's not going to be him.
Speaker 1: So I guess, yeah, I mean, I guess we just
I was. Yeah. I don't see anything listed yet, I did.
I'll try to find it on Twitter. But I know
we're gonna see Trey A. Savage for the Blue Jay
which is notable, one of the top pitching prospects in
the organization, and he's going to make his big league
debut So for Mark Kinsen, let's talk raise Jays.
Speaker 2: We're looking at basically a one fifteen, one ten to
one fifteen favorite for Toronto Tampa Bay. Obviously don't know
who the picture is right now, but we're looking either
eight and a half over or nine hunder. This is
a guy. If you're a Toronto fan, I think you're
got some great excitement there. He's a major strikeout pitcher,
so I can I can see their annoficers saying after
a strikeout, yes, Savage, I think that would be awesome.
But he's he's a number one prospect. He's only twenty
two years old, and that is a concern in bringing
him up at twenty two, and he really he's not
pitched a lot of innings this year. He's gone about
one hundred and fifty or so on forty one to fifty.
But in the majors, I'm looking for him to have
some pretty good success here, major strikeout guy, and at
age twenty two, we'll see how it goes. He is
a writing and normally when guys come up that aren't known,
I prefer left to his overrightings. But I think they're
going to bring him up. They said they want the
best arms in their bullpen when they get to the playoffs,
so they'll let him start. I don't know how long
ago go. We'll probably go normal time, but when he's
used in the playoffs, probably you may see him as
a bullpen arm, unless, of course, he for some reason
has a lot of success like the Met's pitcher, and
if it does, he'll be He'll be there until they
decide that he's thrown too many innings, So we'll see
how it goes. Maybe he'll be an opener of some sort.
But the rest of the regular season he's coming out
of the bullpen. Can't comment on Tampa Bay because we
don't know who the starting pitcher is, but the lines,
the line's somewhat favorable here for Toronto considering they're still
fighting to win that division and Tampa Bay is long
out of it. It's a cheap number. If you believe
in Toronto. I can't you can't do anything but go
up from here. So I think it's if you're if
you're looking to bet it, get in on them now
and maybe you can beat the lesson line movement or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of X factors in this game.
Looking up Tray Savage. Yeah, what is gonna have one
hundred and sixty strikeouts at ninety eight innings is pretty
good stuff, a little bit high era in his minor
league career, but Adam will probably talk about that a
little more than I will. So yesterday when Pepio was
the listing starter kind of is leaning towards Tampa Bay.
But simply because you have an established bitcher against against
the guy who's making his major league debut, I would
see a little value there, But now that Tampa Bay
is change it to undecided. Look, I have both of
these bullpens pretty equal in current form, one of them thirteen,
one of them fourteen, So not not a huge discrepancy
or value there. Tampa Bay definitely has the hitting advantage though,
or I'm sorry, Toronto definitely has the hitting advantage. It
got them ranked number two in MLB, where I got
Tampa Bay ranked fifteen in current form. So where does
that put us? Still a lot of X factors, but
I think a kid making his debut with a power
packed lineup behind him, given how electric he's been in
the minors, maybe a slight advantage here for Toronto. I'm
seeing minus one or something I don't know. That might
be a little bit too steep for someone making his
MLB debut. A lot of X factors here, but if
I think Toronto will probably win the game, but too
many X factors to play it for.
Speaker 1: Me, A really good point before I get into my breakdown.
By Turnbuckle, Tommy, you'll see movement all day up till
game time. Books really aren't confident in their their MLB
numbers until right before first pitch. That is a very
good that. That's a very observant and like astute observation.
I think that's very accurate. I they're never confident in
the overnight. You really can't get much down on MLB
overnights anymore in many places, a lot of a lot
of books have sort of limited your ability to like
bet or bet big overnight, and it's for that reason.
They're just not confident in what these teams are going
to do. Like I say, Joe Boyle here for the raise,
like he was supposed to pitch for Durham yesterday and
he got scratched. So that's that's that's where I'm getting that.
I really have no clue if he's going to be
their starter. But I know that he was supposed to
start for Durham yesterday. He got scratched at the last second.
That typically means big league club called and said, hey,
we need a starter for tomorrow. You're not going to
use him, throw someone else out there. So that's that's
what they did. And that's why I'm saying boil now.
I've watched every inning of Treya Savage at the Triple
A level since he's been called up. First of all,
this dude will be playing in his fifth different level
of affiliated ball this year, which is kind of crazy.
He started in a ball, not High A. He started
in Single A, and he's gone Single A, High A,
Double A, Triple A, and now he will be pitching
in the majors tonight. The reason I say you really
need to know, like the nuance of the situation is
this is going They will be looking at him here.
I feel like he's going to be kind of an
opener for this game. They the Buffalo Bison's broadcast talked
about this like last week. The Blue Jays are looking
at him as a relief option. They want to see
if he can be like a one inning option. They've
actually gone as far as to bring him out of
the bullpen in minor league games. I think he will
likely start this one, but I think you're going to
see him maybe two innings. So that's the only concerning
thing for me is that I don't think this is
like a a start. I think this is like, maybe
see if you can get the Ray's top four or
five hitters out. I'd be shocked if this is more
than like a two inning outing for him. I we'll see.
I mean, he's gone so so far at Triple A.
His longest outing at Triple A was four and two thirds,
but that was about a month ago. The last three
times he hasn't pitched more than three innings, and I
believe two of those were relief appearances. And then last
week against Rochester he took the first three innings. They
could have easily took him out the three innings he
pitched against Rochester, or they could have easily left him
out there. Sorry, last week, the three innings he pitched
against Rochester at the beginning of the game, four strikeouts,
no walks, got every batter out, So it's like it
wasn't like they couldn't have just left him out there
for the fourth inning. I think I think he went
nine up, nine down. What I've noticed in his big
lead in his triple A starts is guys are not
chasing quite as much. His walk rate is a little
bit up. That makes sense, right, You're facing more veteran hitters,
but the strikeout rate is still there. The stuff is
so nasty. I don't really know what to do here
because it's like, I think he could come out and
be filthy, but I don't think you're going to see
it for more than two or three innings. So you're
going to have to figure out what this Blue Jays
bullpen is going to do for seven innings or six innings.
And that hasn't been great, right, The Blue Jays bullpen
over the last two three months really hasn't been that great. So,
and I like Joe Boyle. If it does in fact
end up being Joe Boyle, He's not someone that I'm
like dying to that again, So just my take on
the game, probably no way in it for me. But TV,
you know what, do they still have first three innings
at any of these books? Is that still a thing?
It was?
Speaker 3: Yeahs DraftKings. Does I know they have first three? Like
totals I'm not sure if they have sides.
Speaker 1: Though, if you could get first if you could drafts.
Speaker 3: Offers first three, first five, first.
Speaker 1: Seven, I thought they did. If you can get a
first here, That's the thing. What I've noticed about first
three and first five is a lot of times they
just copy paste. They don't really change it very much.
If you could find a first three innings Blue Jays
line or a first three innings under that's like the
most likely scenario here. I think he comes out wipes
out the race top five or six hitters, but I
don't think he's in long So if you can find
a way to like isolate that, that's like the way
you would play the SPS. Savage here is my in
my opinion. Also, no, I'm not drinking a twisted tea.
I haven't seen a twisted tea in like ten years.
I didn't even know that still exists existed. But I
do have a minute made zero sugar rate here. Someone's
like a shrig hammering twisted teas on a Monday morning
after the week after my weekend. I mean, I guess
you could say that might be a possibility. After watching
Travis Kelgi try to catch football, I wanted to drink
a few twisted teas, but no, I'm drinking a sugar
free lemonade right here. Okay, let's let's move on. Here
we go, So let's go to Marc Mark Martin. He said,
Brian Leonard, he's asking you specifically, and you're going to
start anyway. So this is great. He says. It's a
Phillies at plus one fifteen in auto play, So right
over to you on the Phillies. I forgot who they're
even playing. Oh, Rodgers Dodgers. Oh well, of course we
have to talk about this game. Then Phillies Dodgers go ahead.
Speaker 2: I can't believe we've gone this long without talking about
this game. You got probably the two best teams in
the National League going head to head here, h interesting game.
You got Rangers Morez, the lefty who will finish in
the top five, and the saw Young he's been terrific
all season long. Immachian going for the Dodgers, and I
like Emmachian. He started to come around. He's starting to
pitch a lot better, and there's actually talk now that
he makes the rotation next year, which was a long
shot if they were all healthy. But we've got Sheen
coming in basically about a one twenty favorite total of
eight and a half here, and uh yeah, you'd looking
at Rangers swar As two point seven seven ERA two
point nine seven expected. Other than his fastball velossity, which
is only in the seventh percentile, he's not gonna blow
anybody away in that regard. Ninety one point three on
his four seemer and only throws at fourteen percent of
the time. His numbers are awesome for the most part.
It doesn't have great extension. He's only six foot one,
but his hard hit percentage ninety ninth percentile. Every Jackson
velost the ninety seventh percentile, and you got the Phillies offense,
which is pretty good, pretty good. The Dodgers Emmachian three
point three two ERA three point five to one expected
one point h nine whip. His ground right ball rate
is a concern in the seventh percentile because there are
that's a pretty good home run hitting ballpark in La
barrel rate ten percent hard hit twenty three. I like Emmachean,
I do, but I'm the same thing as are the
person who requested this game. I think Philadelphia plus money
here is a decent bet how often you're gonna get
Ranger Juarez with this with this team getting them plus money,
you can get plus up to one on one on
nine Pinnacle right now, but as well as plus one
hundred other places. But this is a game that got
hit a few minutes ago. Atlanta got hit, and uh
the Yankees a bit hit a little bit. But this one,
if I'm going to play aside, this may be one
of them that I might take a look at. I
like Philadelphia, heir, don't be scared off with the plus
with with the small plus price. As much as alec San,
I think the the Phillies have the better pitcher and
the Dodgers' bullpen even though they've got all that great talent,
I don't know if I trust him, and uh, you
know from from a bet, from a hitting standpoint, two
very good teams, but the Dodgers have some weak spots
in that lineup were philled. This is better one through nine,
I believe in the game probably means a little something
for Philadelphia, even though they've racked it all up and
they've got it all tied up for the division and everything,
they are playing the Dodgers, and that gets everybody excited. So, yeah,
somewhat like Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: Here, what an amazing turnaround this Dodger bullpen has made.
I got them in current form. I got them they've
they've seem to have turned things around. I got them
ranked number nine, where I got Philly's bullpen ranked twenty
in current form. That doesn't mean that's what their talent
level is. It means current form. There's a lot of
factors that go into that meaningful. If you're playing meaningless games,
your bullpen numbers are going to suffer because you're not
leveraging your best arms. So there's a lot of factors.
There two teams that are hitting great. I have both
teams in the top four in MLB in current form hitting.
So I'm impressed with Shean as well. I mean, if
you cover his name, I look at his his his
three E r A with a one o nine whip,
you would think that this is Tyler Glass now or
Ian Snell, not Shean. But so Dodgers have a pretty
formidable pitcher on the mound as well. Phillies have Ranger Suarez.
So Suarez actually has been touched up a little bit
against these batteries in his career, though in eighty seven
sample size at bats three thirteen average in an eight
forty five ops. So who's doing the damage. Well, Miguel
Rojas not the guy you would expect, and Freddy Freeman.
A lot of guys are nine and four. We got
Mookie Betts nine and four against him, CONFORDO eight two
for eight, and he looks like he's never faced Otani before.
So I don't know. I would lean Dodgers, but too
close to play. Actually, I just have these you know.
Sometimes this is why it's hard to win playoff in
almost any league, because when you have when you have
solid teams going against solid teams, there's less of a
gap there. So as as as future predictors, which is
what sports betting is is predicting the future, you want
to find these gaps between the teams where you can
take advantage of a good price. There's less gaps when
you have two really talented teams like this, So I
don't only see a gap. I would probably take advantage
of Ranger Suarez's poor numbers against these battles in his
career and go with the Dodgers. But it's not really
enough for me to play it.
Speaker 1: TV. I know you meant to say Blake Snell, but like,
I haven't thought about Ian Snell in forever, and I
just I had a flashback. No, you said Ian Snell,
and I had a flashback to those horrible Mariners teams
that were such a good fade for like a year.
I think I think Ryan Rowland Smith like forgot how
to pitch and you could just have like bet against
the Mariners every night and you made money. It was Yeah,
I think Ian Snell, you have to go like maybe
ten years ago Mariners why they were really bad. No,
that's at the great great name pull right there, even
though it was unintentional. I just have not heard that
name in a minute. But I'll tell you what to
going back to this game going into next season, this
is a profile. Ranger Sowars is a profile that I'm
gonna circle. And these are the types of guys I
think you just want to bet on because they get there.
They're criminally undervalued in Major League Baseball today. What do
I mean by that. It's a guy that has command,
it's a starting pitcher that doesn't throw particularly hard, so
they're not flashy, so they don't they might not have
crazy strikeout numbers. The books. They're not everyone's favorite pitcher
when it comes to props and stuff like that, but
they have command of all five of their pitches and
they throw them all. Well, there's no holes, there's no
pitch that you can really sit on. You look at it.
Ranger soars as fast, what as you throw ninety one
ninety ninety one miles an hour on the but he's
using it as a show me pitch. He throws it
fifteen percent of the time, and he's really only using
it to say, you know, look at this. It's he's
never throwing it in an area where you can do
anything with it. And then it's basically singer, change, cutter, curve,
and he can throw them all for strikes and today's
hitter just does not can't hit that because today's hitter
does is not Tony Gwynn, right, who in this worst
season hit two ninety I think is that correct. I
think that's accurate. I think like the worst stretch of
his career, this worst one hundred and sixty two game stretch,
he hit close to three hundred. And you just don't
have hitters that approach the game like that anymore. And
it's making these types of pitchers very underrated. Kyle Hendricks
might be like one of the best points of this
what we've talked about him on the show, where it's
like you have guys that like they should be getting
crushed by big league hitters, but big league hitters don't
go up there with this approach of like, I just
want to do anything possible to get on base, put
the ball in play, moving along to the next guy.
And then you get a guy like Ranger Swarz who
throws ninety but it's like he can put the ball
where he wants and all of these lineups or every
big like look at his numbers, look at the underlying numbers.
It's it's all red. It's all really good. So it's like,
there's no way I'm betting against him, and there's no
way I'm laying a price to bet against him. So
to go back to the initial comment, Mark Martin, why
would you lay a price to fade that? Right? Like,
I could only bet the Phillies here, and I do
like she and TV like I like him as well,
So maybe you could look at the under but why
would you lay a price to to fade someone like Swarz?
Go ahead, DD.
Speaker 3: I can't let you disrespect Tony Gwinn like that. His
career batting average was three thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Yes, I know, I'm saying.
Speaker 2: The worst sixty two games, worst.
Speaker 1: One sixty two game stretch of his career. He still
hit like two ninety one Like that.
Speaker 3: Is an amazing He was an amazing, amazing batter, the
best batter I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2: Hands, we're getting down to a guy who have not
any plays yet, so let let me uh, let me
go off the board here. I'm gonna take a look
at this Cub's Pittsburgh game tie on against Ashcraft. Tie
on right now is about a one to fifteen one
twenty favorite Ashcraft eight and I am going to play
the Chicago Cubs team total under four and a half here,
the wins blowing in slightly six miles an how or
not not a lot, But this is a very good
pitcher's park the Cubs. If you go back to the
last ten games I believe they've gone, they've scored five
runs or less in either six or seven of the ten.
They're going without their best hitter. He's on the I
L again, and I really like Ashcraft going for going
for Pittsburgh, and we also have a Pittsburgh bullpen that
is available. Braxton Ashcraft two point four to seven e
ra A three point five one expected one point two whip,
great barrel percentage ninety seven percentile, great ground ball. Right,
he doesn't give up a lot of hard hits. I'm
going to play the Chicago Cubs team total under four
and a half and lay the one forty.
Speaker 3: Should I continue with this game? No?
Speaker 1: We have time? Yeah, continue with this game. What do
you got clubs Pirates TV?
Speaker 3: Yeah, another real tight game between these two. I got
the Cubs hitting better and a better bullpen. Actually, the
Cubs I have in current form. I have their bullpen
ranks number two in MLB. But Brian's right, Ashcraft has
been amazing. My numbers love him and the Cubs hitting
despite being higher than Pittsburgh, I still have them ranked
eighteen in current form. So if you take a picture,
who's performing this well against the number eighteen lineup? I
certainly would not disagree with Brian's team total under there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've said this pretty much all year since he
came up. Big fan of Braxton Ashcraft. I think the Pirates. Actually,
I was confused why they wanted him pitching out of
the bullpen when they called him up. But I actually
really think it helped him a ton. I think it
like I think it showed him what his max sort
of potential is because they were putting him in a
situation where it was like, hey, go out three or
four innings, throw hard and and I think they're doing
the same thing with Bubba Chandler to an extent, or
at least they tried to. So I really am a
fan of Ashcraft. Another reason I'm a fan of him
is he's he's kind of gotten maybe a little bit,
like well, at least you know, when he was in
the minors and stuff and coming up, when you got
guys like Schemes and Chandler and you have all these
pitching prospects, he was forgotten about a little bit. And
he's arguably he's as good as anyone else in that organization.
In any other organization, he would be probably the top
guy in the minors. So I think he's been able
to fly under the radar a little bit. Maybe not
so much now, but there's still value when you play
a team like the Cubs. As Brian said, the Cubs,
they haven't really hit since the All Star break, so
why expect them to hit now against the guy that's
done really nothing but throw the ball great the second
half of the season. I think Ashcraft is a stud.
I just think to what this Pirate's rotation could be
next year. It's you know, you could have Skis, Ashcrat, Chandler,
Jared Jones. I mean, my god, like this team should
be awesome next year. And it's It's been part of
my point this whole, like September, was your two spoilers
for me were gonna be the Orioles and the Pirates,
teams that were gonna be way better than like where
their market price was. I kind of see that today.
I make the Pirates a slight favorite here, so I'm fine.
I very much agree with with Brian's assessment of this,
and his number on team total under is likely better
than Pirates plus one and a half, which is like
minus one fifty. So I think you found a good
way to play it as well. What juice are you
looking for right there?
Speaker 2: Minus one forty can get cheaper, but most of them
right now are at minus one forty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you can't listen, I mean if you
can't play a team total under in a parlay. You're
roughly the same price if you if you went Pirates
plus one and a half, it's like minus one fifty.
That's the way I would play it personally, but I'm not.
I'm by no means am I disagreeing with It's basically
the same bet. In my opinion. You need Ashcraft to
pitch well if you will if you like the Pirates,
and you need Ashcraft to pitch well if you're gonna
hit that Cubs team total under. Okay, TV, I've already
do you know what game you want to put in
the pilat, because we've already talked about my legs, so
I'll go to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would like to do my leg in the
Yankees Twins game. I'm gonna cheat and be a cheap
ass again. I'm gonna take the Yankees here at minus
one ninety on the money line. I like Rodon a
lot better than I like Woods. Richardson or yeah that's
his name, Okay, I don't need I forgot if it's Richardson,
Woods or something. It's like he's it's like he's a
Hillary Rodham Quinton or something. Anyways, I mean Richardson's woods.
Richardson has not not been good all despite his six
four record, He's still has a one three nine whip.
Just don't like it. And uh, I think has been pitching,
you know, in a second, I'm getting a okay, Radone's
been pitching just lights out. I mean, he's been great.
The one thing that that alarms me a little bit
here is Rodon is not a really good road pitcher.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that'll be much of a.
Speaker 4: Deterren here because he's just he's just been so good,
even even though his road numbers are worse than his
home numbers, is still three three four eras pretty good stuff.
I know, eras on the tell alls that, but I
mean it's a good indication about how how well I
got some weird video playing here.
Speaker 3: Let me turn it out there we go. So in
his career against these batters, forty five that bats against,
he's got a one fifty six average and a four
thirty one ops against in forty five at that. So
that's pretty good stuff. Yankees are just a better team,
and they're kind of on a roll here despite getting
crushed by Boston. I did have Boston yesterday, by the way,
but I think the Yankees bounce back here, Parley, I'll
take minus one ninety. That's fine with me.
Speaker 1: Colin says it's his play of the day. You're not
going to get any argue for me there. I mean,
obviously the juice is high on just them to win,
but you're putting in a parlay no argument for me.
I have a pretty big, big edge to the Yankees
there as well. I'll close it out with the Rangers.
That was kind of how I was going to go.
I wanted to see how the rest of the show
played out. But I really think the Rangers are the
correct side here. I think Jason Alexander is going to
get pummeled at the big league level at some point,
and even if he doesn't, I still like where Lighter
is going. So, Brian, are we still looking out like
plus one ten.
Speaker 2: For the Rangers'pecally plus one ten, there's a couple of
four teens and there's alt so some plus one o
four so plus mon ten's about it.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling they I have a feeling the
Rangers might take some money throughout the day as well.
I want to be surprised if that went off closer
to even money, so TB, I'll I'll balance off the
Yankees' favorite a little bit with some plus money and
we are right like, very big couple weeks for us
coming up here. We are pretty much dead even on
parlays this year after we lost on Friday, so we
got to have a big week on the parlays at
least hit a couple to keep us in the plus
for the year. And this one, I just want to
make sure I've got this correct. So this one comes
out to plus four fifty four, so really not that
bad considering we've got a nice sizeable favorite with the
Yankees in there. Plus four fifty four is pretty solid,
and I will read that off one more time. To
close out the show, we have Brian Leonard Cubbs team
total under four and a half, Tokyo Brandon says Yankees
minus one eighty five, and then I'm gonna go with
Rangers plus one ten. So you've got three full game
bets Rangers, Yankees, Cubs team total under four and a half.
Hopefully we kick off the week the fact that we
have a thousand people in here live watching major League
baseball and football seasons as started is awesome. We love that.
Let's keep that energy up through the playoffs. We're not
going anywhere. We'll be back tomorrow morning, nine am Eastern.
