Speaker 1: Four free plays for Major League Baseball on Wednesday, a
huge baseball card due to mother Nature postponing several games yesterday,
including a suspended game that will be finished ay. There
are nineteen baseball games on the card today that is
probably near a record. We will have again free plays
on four of them. And if you like betting on
teams that were shut out yesterday, boy, do I have
a show for you, Mark Zennel. Anything you would like
to well, I know what you would probably like to say.
I will give you the floor right now to say
whatever you would like to say.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Hi, how are you good?
Speaker 1: Are you not going to do what everybody thinks you're
gonna do?
Speaker 2: Thank you to all who jumped on our five percent
package yesterday. I apologize for my half. Look, you know
it's funny every time I do this, people will jump
in the comments section and tell me I'm whining. To
a certain extent, you're right, But to the other extent
you're always evaluated to or is compelled rather to evaluate
a handicap, good bed or wrong, good bed or right,
whether what she did wrong and why it ended up
going sideways. Obviously, if you bought the packageyes today you know,
my five percent player was on the Minnesota Twins to
end this Marlins winning streak. Apparently the Marlins have won
the twenty twenty five World Series because they're never going
to lose again. I mean, if you know you read
the right up, everything I said was right. The Marlins
weren't going to score. Joe Ryan was going to be excellent.
You know, I knew the Twins would struggle offensively because
they're not a great offensive team. I just had no
idea they were only going to get two hits. I mean,
you know, the situation was right, the price was right,
everything was right about it. We got the wrong result.
Am I bitching to a certain extent? Yes, But you
know I think Brian Power would agree with me that
the read was right and the handicap was right. I just,
you know, how was I supposed to know the Twin
I knew the Twins were gonna be bad. I mean, look,
there was an argument that said you should have went under.
You're right, but those seven and a half numbers drive
me insane. I get very uncomfortable living in under seven
and a half full game.
Speaker 1: So to your point, if I had told you six
pm Eastern yesterday that the Miami Marlins were only going
to score two runs yesterday, probab would have felt pretty
good bout yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean as an argument to say, I probably
should have taken the Marlins team total under, but I
just there was at certain points, especially with five percent plays,
you don't want to overthink it, right, You don't want
to get into this splitting you know, the bet kind
of argument, right, like okay, which gives me the most out?
So which one? You know? And it was just one
of those things where I just wanted to keep it
simple and I felt like the one twin starter I
could back. Going into a team that doesn't score at
home in a situation where they won eight in a
row was the perfect time to play against the streak.
Obviously I was wrong, so again I apologize. But there's
a difference between that and me getting my five dollars
play wrong, which was backing backing Emerson Hancock to have
a good start for Seattle. He did, he got tagged
for five runs. Like I was just wrong. It was
just a wrong handicap, right, There was nothing quirky about that.
I didn't get much right that you know, and pretty
much anytime you've been against the Royals and they score
six runs, you're just wrong because they never score six runs.
Speaker 1: So, you know, one of the lowest scoring teams in baseball.
Speaker 2: Lower scoring team in baseball. So I apologize, but still,
you know, when we have done this, this group five
percent plays. Now we're four and two, so not too
bad overall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about you know, how you want to
break down a game, going back and forth with the
right way to approach it. Boy, was it sweaty but
cheeks time for me with the five percent play yesterday
on the A's, you got.
Speaker 2: A row of that fourth run like three times in
that game.
Speaker 1: Yes, they were one for so they had three runs
through six innings. The A's did over three and a
half was the bet and they were one for seven
with runners in scoring position through that point.
Speaker 2: Denzel awards stole or double in center field right or
Clark Clark, Yes, the award he plays football.
Speaker 1: Well, Well that was good for well, I mean that
was fine. I mean I was rooted for Denzel Clark.
Speaker 2: Why he's on.
Speaker 1: The place for the Yes, I had the ag Yeah
I didn't, I did. I didn't care. Denzel Clark. By
the way, if your a defensive run save guy is
one of the is one of the greats.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I don't know why. My brain see my
brain is bush anyway, Okay, now you go.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the thing. I was in a position for
about an inning and a half where the A's were
winning three to two, and that was the worst case scenario.
I didn't want the A's to win three to two
because that because I did I in my right up,
I acknowledge. I'm like man, and I really think about
taking the A's plus money at this spot. But I said,
it's gonna take more than three runs to win this game.
Lo and behold, the Rays did tie it up and
we caught a break. Okay, look like Zeno said he
felt his handicap was right, just got the wrong result.
I'm gonna come on here and tell you we got
the result we wanted, but we got a little lucky
with the game going to ten innings. I will not
rip on baseball stupid ghost runner role at least for
a couple of weeks, because it got me the fourth
run I needed with the A's. Thank you so much
to all of you that were on board that five
percent play with the A's team total over and we
also won our five dollars play. As we went to soccer,
Sarah garretsee, I said, anytime goal scorer.
Speaker 2: I guess what.
Speaker 1: He scored two in the first twenty four minutes, so
that was nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, look again we move on part of me
things said, I have to come back with the Twins
again today just to be a pluton for punishment. But
I hate playing the same series two days in a row.
Speaker 1: So well we are, so of course we now this
week the Morning Wager expanding. We are on all major
podcasting platforms. iHeart Spotify, Apple. We're taking over the podcasting
world bigger than Joe Rogan's been well documented at this point.
We now have guests, We have one of our great friends,
guns Pix will be joining us. And but should we
do our half respective haves of the double play?
Speaker 2: First, get give the patient man, Oh he can okay.
Speaker 1: I he's gesturing wildly stage backstage, but that's okay. I
told the people that if you liked betting on teams
that were shut out yesterday, boy do we have a
show for you. So you're going to start us off Cardinals, Pirates.
This is a day game. Get those bets in early.
Another reason to click subscribe here, guys, so you get
the show as soon as it comes out. Uh Sonny
Gray and Mitch Keller two pitchers that have picked Keller.
I won with him on last Friday against the Mets,
but Gray has pitched well. You think the Cardinals coming
off the shutout loss, that's the play here.
Speaker 2: Not just one shutout loss, but back to back shutout losses.
They haven't scored a run in this series yet. Again,
Paul Skean's pitched yesterday. But when you go from a
minus the Pirates go from a minus one fifty favorite
to a plus money dog, that's a pretty wild swing
from game to game. Branded Again, I understand it's Skian,
you're Skans, You're going to get that swing. But nonetheless,
at some point the Pirates have to I'm sorry, the
Cardinals rather have to start hitting. I know Brian Powers
says Mitch Keller deserves better results than his two and
ten record. He probably does, but after back to back shoutouts,
the Cardinals team offense is way too good and I
think that they are going to snap out of it today. Keller,
by the way, has given up seven home runs in
forty eight hits to a team batting two seventy against
him in this Cardinals team in his career. So there's
a large sample size there that favors the Cardinals. Again,
here's the thing. I thought the Pirates' bats were snapping
out of it after the way that they had hit
the ball for th reconsepective games until last night, when again, obviously,
they only scored one run. I don't think they're gonna
get much more than that. Again, Steve best starter on
the Cardinals in sunny gray here, So we got an
early starty of Cardinals money line.
Speaker 1: Go hit it all right, smash that like button if
you agree with taking the Redbirds early. Here on Wednesday,
I'm gonna talk about another team that was shutout last night,
the Atlanta Braves. For my half of the double play,
they are facing the Los Angeles Angels, and yep, I'm
back in the team that got shut out. Let's go
with the Braves. I'm gonna keep this short and sweet, guys.
This spoils down to two things. Number one, price, I
think getting the Braves at minus one twenty five here
at home is a great deal. I would make this Honestly,
even with Fuentes on the mound, this number should be
north the minus one fifty I make the Braves are
substantially better team than the Angels. I know the Braves
have been disappointment all of baseball. I'm gonna maintain if
this is a top ten team in baseball in my
power versus a bottom ten team or e cental disagrees,
I'm sticking with them. We'll die on the Atlanta the vine,
I guess, or whatever, die on the sword, the Atlanta's sword.
The second reason besides price, that I like the Atlanta
Braves in this matchup is I say, you say, we
all say. Kakuchi not as good he's starting for the Angels.
He is not as good on the road as he
is at home. Actually that is putting it mildly. His
era on the road over three points higher than it
is at home. He is zero to five on the road.
I think the Braves bounce back from last night's fur to.
I think shoutout loss. I would play the minus one
twenty five on the money line, my half of the
double play. Go ahead, comment down below with your thoughts
and don't forget to share what you are betting on
this fine Wednesday as well.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, the Braves are not a top ten team.
You're nuts, still they are. They're a bad team. Yeah,
you keep everybody keeps miss pricing this team. So yesterday
they were a two to one favorite. They are not
good enough against anybody to be a two one favorite,
and I lost four nothing.
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm taking a minus one twenty five.
Speaker 2: You want to you want to list of really bad
offenses in baseball right now? Yeah, the Twins obviously, the Royals, Giants,
the White Sox, the Braves, these are these are bad offenses.
Flat out Yankees might be in that crew as well.
Speaker 1: You hate the Yankees, all right, you know we don't hate.
Uh is our next guest, one of the finest individuals
I've ever met, quite frankly, uh in this industry. I've
done his show many times before. Remember that great video
he created when we did his show together us. Uh
he is uh Guns. Let's bring him in Dan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, boys, beautiful time here ringy in Maryland. But I'm
gonna bring the energy and gonna bring the heat. I'm
gonna bring the places to pay the bills. With Mark
Zeno and Bryan Powers, what's going on?
Speaker 4: Guy?
Speaker 1: How you doing two things? I love the reds I
love the Red Sox hat. Do you know rub it
into and too? I don't know, guys, how I am
going to be able to navigate the next ten minutes
with the intensity of the two gentlemen to my right.
I don't know oxygen for me?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this hat like I've put this.
Speaker 3: I've had this hat on a lot of shows, and
I don't think I've taken the Red Sox once. I've
either faded them or I've taken a total It's like
the Red Sox are not a betable.
Speaker 2: Yes, it didn't work either because you and I were
simpatico with Seattle and it didn't work.
Speaker 3: So in Minnesota too, we were I was like I
couldn't even sit. I was like doing refreshed on my phone.
I go, it's still one to nothing. What is going on?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I couldn't get the bats going there. Uh with Miami,
Miami is just uh. I say, Marlin's in the outfield,
that team is magical. They're going through something right now,
and I think it's a higher being what's going on
with the Marlins.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Should come back to fire on Minnesota again today, shouldn't.
Speaker 3: I I hate playing with Miami.
Speaker 1: Man, I'm gonna give you guys the trend for Miami.
I know you guys probably know, but our viewers may not.
The Miami Marlins have won eight in a row right now.
That is their longest win streak since two thousand and eight. Okay,
that's a little aggressives in them.
Speaker 4: And they have.
Speaker 1: Also won all eight of those games as underdogs. The
last eight times or the last time a major League
baseball team won eight consecutive games all as underdogs was
two thousand eleven the Cleveland Guardians. It was then known
as the Indians.
Speaker 4: Fun fact.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, I'm full of them fun facts. Gods,
you are full of fun facts as well. Why don't
you introduce yourself a little bit to our audience? Obviously,
Mark and I know you well, but some of the
people watching may not, and that is on them. You
So tell us what you're all about and then let
us know what your favorite play is here for Wednesday.
Speaker 4: Yep, I do have a play.
Speaker 3: But if I've been doing handicapping for it seems like
a decade at this point. Started out on X in
twenty nineteen, kind of built myself up, got ten k followers.
Now now I've cultivated myself. Now I'm teamed up with
the y Loose network, given out plays, given out videos,
and I've been doing content for probably five years by
now publicly on YouTube, X and Instagram. You can follow
me on all social media platforms. You can see my
name right there. G U, n Z p I c ks.
Some of you guys know me, some of you guys don't.
But very successful handicapper and multiple sports. But my sports
are college football, college basketball, and NFL. Those are my three.
And of course I dabble a little bit in the
MLB and I've been successful in that sport as well.
So yeah, that's your look.
Speaker 2: You have not lived until you've shat and sweat a
game with gun to watch him. Yeah, it hits.
Speaker 4: I do. I do make my presence known in the
sports in a sports.
Speaker 1: Book, Yes, I know that.
Speaker 2: Go back to Tennessee against Duke in the sweet sixteen
was it sweet sixteen or second round?
Speaker 4: Forget what that was? The second round?
Speaker 2: Yeah, when the entire sports book was on Duke. We
were all on Tennessee and we let everybody know it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very quiet in there except for our little group.
I let him know, you guys took Duke. You guys
are moron.
Speaker 1: If you took Duke in that game. By the way,
we still like you. Please smash that like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a Duke fan, our dear lord.
Speaker 2: We don't have to like not everybody has to like us.
Speaker 4: It's okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm perfectly comfortable of being the heel if you
know wrestling terms.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely all right. But in Wednesdays, guns, what do
you got for us?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think I'm gonna play a little Matt and
a ball here.
Speaker 3: Game one of a rain delay that I wanted to
play yesterday, actually made it a two unit play yesterday,
and I'm gonna carry it over into today. Milwaukee versus
the New York Mets. You got Freddy Peralta on the mound.
He's got to expect the ara of three point seven
to four off a two to nine current. He's three
and zero in his last three starts, but he's three
and six on the road, and he's one and five
straight up as a dog.
Speaker 4: You see him in the dog position here. He's going
against Clay Holmes.
Speaker 3: Now, Clay Holmes does have a high expected the ARA
at four point one two two nine seven current, but
New York Mets are sixty two straight up at home
in his last eight starts, two and one at home
versus the NL Central when Clay Holmes is.
Speaker 4: On the bump.
Speaker 3: Only home loss, though, was against versus the NL Central,
was in the dog role. You're seeing him as a
minus thirty plus favorite here. So don't get discouraged by
taking the New York Mets here. I think they get
it done here in game one, as long as the
weather holds out. Give me the New York Mets money
line minus one thirty four as to play.
Speaker 1: All right, Satch that if you're rolling with the Mets
in game one, they better I'll tell you, Zidell, they
better hope they take game one of this series the
Mets because the're against Mizzerowski in game two.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, I think this is this is This was
on my card yesterday. It was a VIP play. Now
I'm just releasing to the people for free. I think
that's appropriate.
Speaker 2: The New York Mets are eleven and five and sixteen
play home starts.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's a great spot. I think it's
a great spot and maybe they do lose.
Speaker 4: Game two. We'll have to see about that one, but
I think Game one.
Speaker 2: I'm going to out him right now because I I
looked at that game yesterday and I told him I'd
like to take the Mets of play homes on the mountain.
Brian Powers says, I like Freddy Pearl to the Brewers.
Speaker 4: Not as a dog, not as a dog. Don't take
him as a dog.
Speaker 1: As a dog, told me yesterday, So deal with it
a pictures not as a dog. Yeah, I hear you. Yeah, Hey,
the Mets, like I said, the Mets need this one
because they know going against Miss Rosky game two. Uh.
They could be.
Speaker 2: In players only Meeting the other day too, because they're offering.
Speaker 1: Okay, well we're hey, look Braves, Cardinals, that's that's where
is the refine offenses. I'm pointing at people. Those are
those are.
Speaker 2: The place where's some people do go both ways.
Speaker 4: It's like the Brady bunch.
Speaker 1: We're all looking whatever you do, whatever you do on
your own times, and it's fine with me. All right, guys,
why don't you give us one last plug here? Man,
we appreciate you. Beat on the show, and uh, tell
the people where they can find you obviously at guns picks.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Next, Yeah, guns picks on all social media platforms. It's Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, MySpace,
it's all g U, n Z, P s, e k
s whatever, whatever social media platform that you enjoy, you
will find me. Also, Uh, we do uh the Shark,
Sharks and Sports at eight and I we do a
show on the J Cavalier channel every weekend live eleven
am on Saturdays and Sundays we break down the entire
MLB card And if you've ever seen that show, we've
been very good on those picks, just given our leans
and our takes on that one. So go check us
out there. And uh, yeah, that's all I got. Appreciate
you guys having me on. Let's catch some tickets, let's
dominate double and even there's always let's keep answering.
Speaker 1: But bye, great, I don't know what to say to that.
Speaker 2: You and I will be on his college football show
in the fall.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, and that is what you get, ladies and gentlemen,
so please be sure to check that out in the fall.
Speaker 2: Love guns, but guns are for all busts or anything else.
Guns are really solid handicap. Yeah, I trust a lot
of what he says, you know, and it's a good thing.
Like you know, VP and I have figured this out
over the past couple of years. Obviously we talk every
except for when I'm in a pissy mood. Just kidding,
but you know, we sort of complement each other's handicapping
styles in certain ways. You know. That's that's one good
thing about Guns. He looks at it from a very
different angle. He loves to look at those how does
he perform as a dog, how do they perform in
this situation, how they perform as a favorite, whereas I'm
much more gamescript right, And so when you put some
of that stuff together, it's why guys, you know, just
from a pure you know, research standpoint, look for people
who look at the games differently than you do and
provide different angles that you're not aware of, and that
kind of helps you really put the whole thing together.
So I really really appreciate the way Guns attax things
and the manner he uses because it's way different than
what I do.
Speaker 1: I thought was Will said, zough.
Speaker 2: Every now and then I get lucky. Every now and
then I'm say something brilliant.
Speaker 1: All right, we are going to talk about your New
York Yankees and just a little bit. So hold on
for that, everybody. But first I just want to plug
after the tuttles yesterday. We do have a four percent
best bet up at WT Dot Buzz slash BP now
on a seventeen and five run with plays rated four
percent or higher going back to May twenty fourth, up
sixty eight point four units over all during that time,
so had on over and if you use coupon code
B power three that's B P O W e R
number three, you can get the next three days four
just twenty nine dollars. So that's what's going on in
my world, Zeno, what is going on in your world?
I believe it is going to be a active day
on the betting board. If I heard you correctly on
the phone before the show.
Speaker 2: I had to finish getting the throw up out of
my mouth after you gesticulate it all over yourself.
Speaker 1: So I did say anything that was incorrect. I just listen.
Speaker 2: But again, I just you know, after my own two
day yesterday, I'll come back with something on the board again.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think, look, man, you're right, you're still it
was one day. This guy's gonna bounce back. I'll do
it for this guy. Guys, I keep always pointing.
Speaker 2: We're gonna try. Yeah, I mean, look, I'm probably gonna
put three. I mean, by the way, the Cardinals is
already a client play.
Speaker 1: So got that one for free, everybody for free.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I will also probably am eyeing up three
other plays, so we may get four for today. Sometimes
when it's when you had a bad day, I just
kind of want to come back, and it's one or
two ways to do it. Either come back and spray
the board or come back with just one play that
you really really love. Today, we're going spray the board.
Speaker 1: Okay, you heard him, he's spraying. He's spraying Yankees Blue Jays.
It is now time for our best that segments. The
Yankees have dropped two in a row. Yeah, Blue Jays.
It was Canada Day yesterday.
Speaker 2: By the way, well that's why they lost.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was. I would also say they lost because
they gave up twelve runs. That's another It did not help,
no matter what howay it may have been. Uh so
what are we gonna do here today? We'll war it
on the mound for the Yankees. So I don't think
anybody's in a rush to back the Yankees. But we're
talking on hey the Yankees bats, maybe they wake up. Look,
there were seventeen runs scored yesterday's game. All we need
today is ten to be scored in an overhit. So
our best bet is going to be over nine in
the Yankees Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: You know, I hate taking over.
Speaker 1: I think I think this is a good play. I
is a fight. It opened eight and a half, it
already hit nine.
Speaker 2: Hit it. Really I'm seeing out there still, Oh there's
double checking.
Speaker 1: Just what do we always say, shop around? If you
can bet an eight and a half, that's I mean
it'll be juiced minus one twenty minus one, twenty five,
I assume.
Speaker 2: But I mean like over nine. The Yankees have a
decent track record against Jose Burrios don't call me Barrios,
you know too, eighty five average against them. Judge has
hit five home runs against Jose, batting three seventy eight.
So you might want to take some Aaron Judge props tonight.
Over one and a half total bases kind of deal
that may be worth a look, just because again, he
has got very good numbers, unless, of course, they decided
to walk him four times, which you know, yeah anyway,
so maybe worth a look there. But the Yankees lineup
as a whole bat to eighty five against him. They
got an ops near nine hundred against Burrios. Look, Toronto's
been the Yankees nemesis, but a decent sign that the
Yankees are at least scoring runs in this series. So
if they didn't make blunders in Game one, they probably
win it. Although I was on Toronto plus one and
a half in that game, So we get a lot
of runs here. It's because the Yankees bats are doing
what they need to do and Will Warren is terrible,
so keep trotting them out there every five days of
Aaron Boom, Good job.
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone, a leader of men. All right, that is
our best bet, Yankee's blue Jays over nine. Comment down
below with your thoughts again, share with us your favorite
bets here on Wednesday. Look, there's a lot of baseball,
a lot of baseball today, nineteen games, like I said,
