1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: All right, guys, it is Thursday. It's time for total basis.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,960
Like we're just back here laughing, telling stories. All of

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,400
a sudden it's nine oh one. We've got to get started.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,000
Brian Len you know what that reminds me of a

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,879
little bit. Right now, we're getting into clinching season in

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,800
Major League Baseball and over the next couple of weeks.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,480
I don't agree with this by I think if you

8
00:00:24,559 --> 00:00:26,879
in your division and you want to throw a little party,

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,399
that's fine. You're gonna have teams throwing a party for

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,239
making the last wild card spot.

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,359
Speaker 2: Trigg not a fan of that.

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: I think you get three times that you should be

13
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:38,079
allowed to celebrate division, winning, the Pennant, winning the World Series.

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,280
Yet you'll see champagne flying for like five or six

15
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:44,880
times for some of these teams. Yesterday the Cubbies were

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,759
that team. They clinched their spot. Brian, Do you and

17
00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:51,520
Tokyo Brandon feel free to chime in here as well?

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,920
Is that a fade for you? Do you do you

19
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:56,359
actively look to fade those types of teams the day

20
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:57,439
after if they have a game.

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: I do, And I've told the story many times back

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,920
when I was in Cleveland and we haven't had a

23
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,120
lot of success with the Indians back in Cleveland. And

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,599
I had a friend that worked at a store and

25
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,159
he saw the starting catcher for the Indians in there,

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,400
and he said, Hey, why aren't you up partying with

27
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:21,040
the other group. And he says, oh, man, we're out

28
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:23,719
so late last night, and he goes, I don't know

29
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,319
how the hell anybody's gonna be able to play the

30
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:27,480
next time. Well, it turned out they had chad Oja

31
00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:29,719
on the mound. They had already sent him. I think

32
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:31,519
it was a road game, they'd already sent him a

33
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:36,120
day before. And he throws like his career game and

34
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:38,840
Cleveland ends up winning that game one to nothing. And

35
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:41,719
so the offense did nothing as you expected. But so

36
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,200
you get good information and then it doesn't always win.

37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,959
So but yeah, it's it's something that I usually do

38
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:50,719
try to fade definitely.

39
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: I mean, there's nothing more annoying than people you're celebrating

40
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:57,599
a playoffs, but like you won the World Series. It's

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,840
more annoying than a gender revealed party. I mean, society

42
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,519
is so stupid these days. Why are people so stupid?

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,959
What happened? What happened?

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: I like to see and it's just not baseball. But

45
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:14,360
I like to see when a team clinches the series

46
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:17,159
or whatever in the playoffs or whatever, and they just

47
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:20,240
walk off the court and it's just now, was their job.

48
00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:22,599
They got that done. That's the team I want to

49
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,840
back the next time they play.

50
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,719
Speaker 4: Could never ever see Larry Bird Michael Jordan's celebrating making

51
00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:29,319
the playoffs. Give me a break.

52
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I'm all about. I'm all about.

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,759
Speaker 1: You know, you want to do something, you want to

54
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:38,080
pop champagne for a division title. I get it, But

55
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,759
like I mean the back of their division. Like I know,

56
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,439
they made the playoffs, but I think that's kind of

57
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,759
I don't know. I think that's that's kind of a

58
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,319
funny thing. But I do think. Now, Brian, I'll go

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,439
back to you and then we'll talk this Cub's red scheme.

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,360
How do you do how much do you feel like

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,599
the Vegas has started to bake that into the number

62
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,000
or do you think they don't really pay attention and

63
00:02:58,039 --> 00:02:59,439
there's actual opportunity here.

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: I don't think right now they're playing a whole lot

65
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,560
of attention to baseball. I mean, you had a you

66
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,360
had your team had to throw a one hitter through

67
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:10,120
nine innings and still end up losing. It was one

68
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,280
of those days. But most of the guys I think

69
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,680
had a pretty good day and pretty good.

70
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 4: Head on it.

71
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,319
Speaker 3: And you know, baseball to me, for the last two months,

72
00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:20,879
if you're not bad baseball, you're leaving money on the table.

73
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,840
This is just the time to do it. Yea. Everybody's

74
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,520
worried about football. There's football tonight, there's NFL, there's college football,

75
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:31,080
and that should lead us to some pretty profitable day,

76
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,159
pretty profitable day in baseball here.

77
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: Well, Brian, I got to jump in real quick because

78
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:39,479
I'm kind of kicking myself. I thought about I thought

79
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,000
about firing the Reds out there and just listing action

80
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,680
this morning. The Cubs not exactly sure what they're going

81
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:47,280
to do with their pitching, and this has moved quickly.

82
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,879
So I may have missed the boat on Cubs Reds

83
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:53,360
when I before I got on the show. So that

84
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:56,639
was fifteen minutes ago. The Cubs were I'm sorry, the

85
00:03:56,719 --> 00:04:01,520
Reds were like minus one twenty five. They are now one. So,

86
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:05,400
in your opinion, is that the tax for is that

87
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:07,840
the clinching tax that the market has now sort of.

88
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,439
Speaker 2: Moved to and do you want any part of this game.

89
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: Well, it's also the need to win for Cincinnati, and

90
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,040
they've got, at least, in my opinion, the best pitcher

91
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:20,040
on the team. Abas had a terrific season, but I

92
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:21,800
think Green is the guy you want to call it on.

93
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,519
So they've got their number one going against For the Cubs,

94
00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:28,199
it was probably would probably be their number six, number

95
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:30,680
five or six in Colin Ray. But he's he's had

96
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,240
a lot of success. He's impressed me on some of

97
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,879
these games, and you know his his career is not

98
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:40,199
over yet. So yeah, I think that's what it is.

99
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,360
A lot of people are looking at the pitch starting

100
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:45,240
pitching matchup and it's clearly should be on Cincinnati.

101
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 4: Here my turn. Yep, Brian's up. Okay, you ended abruptly,

102
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:59,560
so I was, I was, okay, Yeah, this generation man

103
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:04,480
so annoying. I'm sorry, but participation trophies and celebrating getting

104
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:07,439
it's just so annoying. But yes, I think these teams

105
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,399
are kind of up for a letdown after you clinch

106
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,519
something and you're all excited and you do a ridiculous,

107
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,519
non necessary celebration. I agree with Brian Hunter. Green's probably

108
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,920
the best picture on that team. Reds are still fighting.

109
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,920
The problem I have with taking the Reds here is

110
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:31,720
the Cubs have better numbers all around, their bullpens better,

111
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,040
and their hitting is better. But how will they perform today?

112
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,079
Is another question? You know, God, I get these all right,

113
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,600
I gotta find out which video? Can you hear that

114
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:50,279
annoying voice in the background? Sorry about that? Okay, good,

115
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:50,959
I'll keep going.

116
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,959
Speaker 3: So I'm kind that's so much fun. I never loved.

117
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 4: Marco's still here, But no, these annoying auto play videos

118
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,079
are just so annoying when I pull up another tab.

119
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,360
But anyways, so I'm kind of hesitant to take them.

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,959
Looking at how Hunter Green performs against the Cubs will

121
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:17,279
probably be a key to this, and he performs quite

122
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:19,199
well at two or two average against with the seven

123
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,319
eighty four ops. Not ideal, not terrible, He's definitely the

124
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,920
better picture. I've got him ranked how many spots? Oh,

125
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,160
I've got him ranked sixteen spots ahead of Colin Ran.

126
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,680
But I have the Cubs bullpen and hitting better, the

127
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,959
Reds bullpen somewhat reliable. I have them above fifteen, which

128
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,800
means they're they're in current form better than average, So

129
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,079
can they get it done today? I'm not sure. I'm

130
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,720
probably not going to bet it.

131
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so more I kind of looking at the schedule here.

132
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,279
Obviously the only way I would probably I would play

133
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,120
this is the Reds. I'm a little annoyed that I

134
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,879
missed the move, but.

135
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: The Cubs might not.

136
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,959
Speaker 1: I mean the little celebration might have been more for show,

137
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,040
might have been more for TV because they had to travel,

138
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,759
So it's not like they were able to probably go

139
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:12,839
out really last night. I mean, they had the day

140
00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:15,360
game in Pittsburgh. I think they you know, the more

141
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:17,279
I think about it, they probably had the locker room

142
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,680
set up, did a thing for Marquee Sports Network, which

143
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,720
was what was shown on TV. They had to get

144
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:23,680
out and go to Cincinnati. Like, do we think they

145
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:26,399
just landed in Cincinnati and were like, let's go out.

146
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: Probably not.

147
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: They probably just went back to their hotels and you know,

148
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,480
so it might not be as impactful. Doesn't change my handicap.

149
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,319
I mean it's right there for the Reds. That being said,

150
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:38,240
I feel like we've been saying this for a couple

151
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,319
of weeks. Now goes back to what, you know, something

152
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,680
that Brian has made a really good point. It's like

153
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,959
when you're like, when you're in the position that some

154
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:47,199
of these teams are that they need to win, it's

155
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,360
like you're there kind of for a reason, right, You're

156
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,759
not that good in the first place. The Reds, I

157
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:56,560
feel like, fit that description to a tee seventy six

158
00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:59,519
and seventy six. They are a five hundred team. There

159
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,240
is average as it gets. They should be better because

160
00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:05,759
of the raw talent in their roster and on the

161
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,639
or on the roster in the organization, but they're just not.

162
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,319
They make mistakes, you know, And I just think that,

163
00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:15,959
like the Reds Cardinal Series is a great sort of

164
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,279
like illustration of that on the right side of a

165
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,560
of a timely hit in the first game, go out

166
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,720
the next night, shut out, took no chance against Mike McGreevy,

167
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,439
come back yesterday and win.

168
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,639
Speaker 2: So it's like, I don't I don't know that I.

169
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:32,519
Speaker 1: Would would want to pay minus one fifty to find

170
00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:35,879
out if the Reds, which Red's team shows up here,

171
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:39,000
even though in theory like this should this should be

172
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,240
like the home run spot for them, and you would

173
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,399
think that you would get their best effort at home here.

174
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:45,360
But man, I mean I feel like we've said this

175
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:47,720
all season with the Reds, So why why lay an

176
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:48,840
inflated number with them?

177
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: I guess is the way I look at that one, all.

178
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Right, Ryan Morrison, Yeah, that was a tough It's a

179
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,679
tough result for me yesterday. If you told me I

180
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:02,480
was going to get one of one hit ball from

181
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,799
Brandon five, I would have said, it's an easy win

182
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:10,000
right there, and just wasn't to be. That was a

183
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,600
I kind of could feel it, you know, coming when

184
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,960
when they couldn't get Carroll home in the ninth less

185
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,080
than than one out or one out, man on third,

186
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,639
one out, couldn't get him home in the ninth, wheels man,

187
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,000
That's yeah. I mean, listen, I could do a whole

188
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:26,559
show on how Tory Lavello didn't manage that the way

189
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,879
I thought he should have when you got that kind

190
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:31,320
of speed back to back innings on third base, Just

191
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,200
get a bunt.

192
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,639
Speaker 2: Down, Jesus, A safety squeeze is in that game. Safety

193
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,159
squeeze is going to win that game. It was.

194
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,039
Speaker 1: It was a bad, really bad result for the Diamondbacks.

195
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:43,200
So I I think, I mean that is a I

196
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,559
think Arizona had some real momentum going into that game,

197
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,879
and I think that likely cost them their season. That's

198
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:52,559
a that's another discussion maybe for another day, since we

199
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,840
don't have Diamondbacks baseball today, but we do have the Giants.

200
00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:58,279
Speaker 2: And the Giants, who I really.

201
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: Felt like were their season was going to be over

202
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,320
had they lost that game yesterday, now have a little

203
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,039
bit of life. They get the win, they hit the road,

204
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,360
they had the rookies. The rookies were wearing Scooby do

205
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:15,159
Onesies on the flight. That was rookie hazing Scooby do

206
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,519
Onesies on the flight. Kaiwei Tang and a Scooby do

207
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,039
Onesie was a site if you go find that. I

208
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:22,519
think the Giants. I think someone on the Giants social

209
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,799
media posted it. They now go to to la huge

210
00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:29,960
game here, Brian Leonard, big rivalry rematch of last week.

211
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:33,759
Giants took the opener, Dodgers bounced back with the second

212
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:38,000
two to take the series in San Francisco. Any Jews

213
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,200
left for the Giants, do you think they are able

214
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,720
to sort of parlay that into any success this weekend?

215
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,639
Speaker 2: And what about this game?

216
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got the aces of both these teams. Webinym

217
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:49,519
A Moto Yamamoto basically about a one sixty in this

218
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,279
one total of seven and a half. That Dodgers starting rotation,

219
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:57,559
regardless of who they throw out there, right now, is

220
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,399
on fire. This is the team the Dodgers, the pitching

221
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,480
staff that they'd wanted coming into the season, and they've

222
00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:07,679
had the injuries all all year long. They are playing

223
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,360
like the best team in baseball front pitching standpoint. Right now.

224
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,759
I still have some concerns about some of their lineup choices,

225
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:18,200
but right now it's tough to go against the Dodgers,

226
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,720
and as I mentioned, when they play their rivals, you

227
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:24,399
know Arizona in San Diego and San Francisco, that's the

228
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,480
time I want to play on the Dodgers and getting

229
00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:30,759
them into one sixty favorite. You don't often see Logan

230
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,200
Webb catching one forty five or higher on the way back,

231
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,279
but he has really not pitched that well the second

232
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,960
half of the season. Comes in with a three point

233
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,120
three four ERA three point seven to two expected one

234
00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:47,399
point twenty six whip, but his fastball velocity is only

235
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,799
in the twenty third percentile expected band average thirty second.

236
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,360
There is a little few weaknesses on his card this year.

237
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:58,200
If you take a look at his just just the pitching.

238
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,759
The stats off that in how good they are as

239
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:05,960
opposed to Yamamoto, who if it wasn't for schemes, he

240
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,960
would probably be the number one coming into the player

241
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,799
or coming into the season. Where we're at right now,

242
00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:18,240
it's only got the eleven and eight record, he's got

243
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,399
now standing two point six sixty ra spected, the two

244
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,799
point sixty nine zero point nine to eight whip. He's

245
00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:27,440
very good at just about everything he does, and he

246
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:30,559
throws six pitches, so he's got that ability. I like

247
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,279
both these pitchers here. I'm not enamored with either one

248
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:38,639
of these offenses right now. Although San Francisco has hit

249
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,559
better as of late. But if you take a look

250
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,840
at the last you know, the last fourteen days here

251
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,200
in WRC plus Dodgers number five at won twenty one.

252
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,480
San Francisco, which was really high earlier, just like a

253
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,559
week ago, is now only seventy nine. So the Giants

254
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,799
are not hitting very well right now. Trust the Dodgers

255
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,039
a little bit more, but maybe San Francisco team total

256
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,720
under let's see what we get on that. We're looking

257
00:13:08,799 --> 00:13:14,799
at brain and a half under thirty five. Slightly into that,

258
00:13:14,919 --> 00:13:18,279
it's still a pretty good hitters park here, so probably

259
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:21,000
not enough to get me involved in anything today.

260
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:23,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone, go to wager talk dot com and see

261
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,399
what we are offering. I have a four percent play

262
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,840
up in MLB, and if you check my Twitter x

263
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:33,080
account you can see the escapades that I had with

264
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:36,240
Brian and Marco yesterday. Actually it's not really just one

265
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:38,360
picture of it put up, but it's a cool picture,

266
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,279
so go check it out. Also, these guys are going

267
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,960
to have something up if they don't already, go to

268
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,120
wager talk dot com and at least click the free

269
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,240
plays page because all of our cappers put stuff up.

270
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:53,159
There's probably twenty free plays up there right now. Regarding

271
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,159
this game, my numbers emphatically say bet the Dodgers here

272
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,240
grade a team out or a matchup out. If one

273
00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:06,799
team is ten better than the other, I'll go for

274
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,639
them on the side. And I have Dodgers nineteen. I'm sorry,

275
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,679
Dodgers seven, Giants nineteen, So there's a twelve discrepancy here.

276
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,399
The biggest the biggest thing for the Dodgers is their

277
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,279
bullpen is finally not shacking every time they go out there.

278
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,840
They're still not the most reliable bullpen I have them

279
00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:31,279
ranked fourteen out of thirty in current form, but I

280
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,679
have the Giants ranked twenty eight in current forms, so

281
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:40,919
more reliable than the Giants currently. Dodgers are just crushing

282
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,639
the ball right now. They're finally playing like they should

283
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:46,399
have played from the beginning of the season. Like Brian said,

284
00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:50,000
the rotation is finally gelling together. If Dave Roberts wasn't

285
00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:52,240
the worst manager in all of baseball, they would have

286
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,960
won yesterday or the day before yesterday as well when

287
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,840
Otani got pulled with a no hitter. So Dodgers are

288
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,039
olin right now and the Giants are not. If you

289
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,840
look at head to head matchups, Yamamoto has dominated these Giants,

290
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:11,639
and Web has gotten pretty crushed by these Dodgers. Surprisingly,

291
00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:14,720
two hundred and twenty nine at bats against, He's got

292
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,840
a three thirty six average against an a nine to

293
00:15:17,919 --> 00:15:23,799
thirty nine ops against these Dodger batter That's terrible. Yamamoto

294
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,279
against these Giants sixty six at bats against, a one

295
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:30,000
to fifty two average and a five zero six opis.

296
00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:33,279
So he's dominated these Giants batters. There's one red flag

297
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,639
here with Yamamoto is he's actually a better road picture

298
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,720
than a home picture. Why he's even in Japan, he

299
00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:45,240
was a little bit, I don't say mentally weak, but

300
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,879
he cracks under pressure. Sometimes. He's not like a He's

301
00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:51,200
not like a de Gram where he's got like, you know,

302
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,840
solid never cracks under pressure. He's not that guy. He

303
00:15:57,399 --> 00:15:59,799
can crack under pressure, and I think the home games

304
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,399
are little more pressure for him, which is why he

305
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,159
has a little bit better stats on the road. But

306
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,519
that's not gonna bother me here today. I'm gonna take

307
00:16:09,519 --> 00:16:13,879
the Dodgers here. Probably a smaller play though, because taking

308
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:17,960
the Dodgers can be a little you know, tense sometimes

309
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,440
when that bullpen starts to come in. I mean, Tryinon

310
00:16:20,559 --> 00:16:24,320
is pitching horrible right now, But there's other guys who

311
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,360
are making up for it. So I think we can

312
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:28,559
trust the Dodger bullpen more than the giants here.

313
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: You brought up Dave Rock. Did you see Blake Snell

314
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,320
just body him last night? He was just like, go

315
00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:37,480
back to the dougout. I'm gonna keep pitching like he'd be.

316
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: Robertson came out.

317
00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:42,159
Speaker 1: Roberts came out to take Snell out, and Snell was

318
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,039
just like, get out of here.

319
00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:46,679
Speaker 2: I'm gonna that's always as much. You don't see this

320
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,440
as much anymore.

321
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: Remember when like Mike Sosher would try to come out

322
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,720
and take John Lackey out and he'd like throw an

323
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,320
absolute fit on the mound, go in like puffing and popping,

324
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,399
like throwing stuff in the dugout like but you don't

325
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,440
just you just don't see that as much anymore. But yes,

326
00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:05,160
now it was just like I'm good, sir, like I'm

327
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,559
gonna take it from here. I got, you know. And

328
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,960
he did twelve strikeouts, seven innings. He was great, just

329
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,279
not not that many pictures I probably had.

330
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 4: I probably would have thrown up if he took him out.

331
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,519
Speaker 3: I think I think a sures are when I when

332
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:22,440
I think of that, because he's always been that way.

333
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,920
You gotta got to be a ballsy manager to take

334
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,400
man Shuser out of the game.

335
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: Just there's not as many guys that I feel like

336
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:32,920
you can, you know, for for the most part now,

337
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,960
it's like pitchers get to the six see the manager coming.

338
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,079
It's like I think of that George Kirby interview interviewer.

339
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,000
The mindset is I've done enough, I've done my job.

340
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,480
I'm gonna turn it over and it's like these some

341
00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:46,599
of these old school guys, it's like no, like I'm

342
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:48,400
I got the ball, I'm feeling it.

343
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:53,519
Speaker 2: This is my game. So that was cool. Yeah, I don't.

344
00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:55,759
I don't disagree.

345
00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:56,039
Speaker 3: I don't.

346
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a terrible coach, but I I

347
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,200
you know, because Dodgers and Gangs are similar, there's more

348
00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:03,640
like people like give Boon a hard time, but there's

349
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:06,640
more to just coaching the team in those markets. And

350
00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:09,519
I think Roberts does an okay job. I mean, he's

351
00:18:09,599 --> 00:18:11,680
one championship, so he can't say.

352
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,079
Speaker 2: He's that bad. But yeah, I don't. I don't. I

353
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,200
have never loved him from an ex's and standpoint.

354
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: Back to this game, yeah, I mean, there's definitely been worse,

355
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,279
but back to this game. The Giants, my opinion hasn't changed,

356
00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:29,839
just because they took advantage of the you know, backyard

357
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:32,160
baseball rule where you get a ghost runner and then

358
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,640
all haul hell breaks loose.

359
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: So that's what happened to them. In the Diamondbacks game.

360
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: There was a stretch yesterday and today into sorry weds

361
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:42,680
uh Tuesday into Wednesday. There was a stretch where the

362
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,480
Giants went eleven innings without a hit. Okay, Brandon fought.

363
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:49,799
I mean he he came through for me yesterday, of unfortunately,

364
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,799
and a losing effort is not a great starting pitcher.

365
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:54,759
And he shut that team down. And that's a team

366
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,720
that's supposed to be better against right handed pitcher pitching

367
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,400
than left handed pitching. So like, just because the Giants

368
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,920
sort of had a five run inning when they were

369
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,519
aided by an extra base runner and the fact that

370
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:08,720
they got to do it again, so it was a

371
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:12,640
John Curtis like, I mean, they haven't they still haven't

372
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,400
hit for really the better part of this week. I

373
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,640
don't really expect them to hit the Dodgers better pitching

374
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,160
this weekend.

375
00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:21,559
Speaker 2: So I think the Giants are kind of still on

376
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,960
borrowed time. I do.

377
00:19:23,039 --> 00:19:25,839
Speaker 1: I don't mind, Web, but I'm kind of with you

378
00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:27,480
that I think the Dodgers might put them out of

379
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:31,160
their misery this weekend, and you may see the Dodgers

380
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,680
really start to play good ball. This is this is

381
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,119
the Dodgers I think, starting to take off and go

382
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,759
into the playoffs on a high note. So yeah, I'm

383
00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:41,799
with you, TV. I think it'd be Dodgers or pass

384
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:48,160
for me, all right, let's go to where is that.

385
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,279
I had a colin said Guards Tigers, he's leading Guardians

386
00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:55,640
plus one and a half. I mean, I've done videos

387
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,200
for this series all week. I've given out the Guardians

388
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,480
every single time, and they have not disappointed. And I

389
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,359
think Brian Leonard even may have had a client play

390
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,240
in one of these games, maybe Monday or at some point. Oh,

391
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:08,880
I think you put it in a parlay that hit

392
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,759
on Monday. The Guardians have been great. Do you have

393
00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:16,039
any I mean, yes, it's Treek school. Yes, the Tigers

394
00:20:16,079 --> 00:20:17,720
are getting to the point where they might need to

395
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:20,559
win one of these because you know, you can't just

396
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,160
get you know, you get swept here all of a

397
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,160
sudden this game on the final week of the season.

398
00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:27,559
But that's still a pretty inflated number on the Tigers,

399
00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:30,039
who have not played good ball at all over the

400
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,599
last sort of three weeks. Five hundred team at best.

401
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,440
Are you going back to the well with your Guardians

402
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,319
here today, Brian.

403
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 3: Len You know I had five percent on Cleveland the

404
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,880
other day. I used the first half on Cleveland yesterday

405
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:47,319
because I didn't want the back end of the Cleveland

406
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,119
bullpen because they had been tired and they're even in

407
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:56,400
worst shape here. Yes, you have to lay two dollars

408
00:20:57,039 --> 00:20:59,079
on school balls, and if you're playing one of the

409
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,319
recreational books, even more total seven to the over twenty

410
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,039
five here or seven and a half to the under.

411
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:11,039
But if you are Detroit and they are playing with

412
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:15,079
very little, very little effort, after they had the home

413
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,880
run of two outs in the ninth two days ago

414
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,960
and then they blow it in the tenth, it's hard

415
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,680
to back Detroit right now there. I know what they're doing.

416
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,079
The coach knows what. You've talked about this a lot,

417
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,039
trigger about the way they are approaching these games and

418
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:31,079
getting themselves ready because they had such a big lead.

419
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,079
And I fully understand that, and I think they got

420
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:34,640
one of the best, if not the best coaches in

421
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,240
Major League Baseball. But they are not playing well. And

422
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,079
what happens here if Cleveland is able to get this victory.

423
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,839
School Ball coming back slide injury. He's supposed to be

424
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:50,480
one hundred percent back. From his standpoint, I don't think

425
00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:52,720
he would have come back unless he really is healthy.

426
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:55,759
So I expect school Ball to have a big game here.

427
00:21:55,799 --> 00:21:58,000
But if Cleveland could cut this down to three and

428
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,079
a half, and they still have more games in Cleveland

429
00:22:01,079 --> 00:22:03,599
against Detroit. You might see the panic out of the

430
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,200
Tigers a little bit. So it's a very important game

431
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,519
foot ball teams. Obviously, Cleveland's still two two and a

432
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:11,319
half games out of the wild card. They probably got

433
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:14,759
a better chance of winning the division at this point

434
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:16,599
when you take a look at that, because they've got

435
00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:18,759
the games with the trot ahead of them. But this

436
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,400
is a very interesting game. And I talked about the

437
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,720
situation here with Tanner Biby. They moved both Williams and

438
00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:29,920
Bibby up an extra day to get the two better

439
00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:33,200
arms to play against Detroit. They moved Alan back, so

440
00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:36,640
he'll go up against the Minnesota but bybby four point

441
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,839
four to four E three point seven to expected one

442
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:46,039
point too far whip his strikeout rate. Normally he strikes

443
00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:48,000
out at least one per inning. Last year it was

444
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:52,279
even better. This year it's been down, but he has

445
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,960
been a little bit better as of late. It's pitched better.

446
00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:57,640
His last time out, he was terrific. I believe that

447
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,279
was the complete game he threw. He was good. He

448
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,400
wasn't an over abundance of pitches, So it's not like

449
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,000
when the other gentleman Williams threw it that earlier that

450
00:23:09,079 --> 00:23:12,039
we could fade. But he does throw six pitches and

451
00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:14,599
he's had a lot of success, and he is pitching well,

452
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,039
and he's Detroit batts not that impressive Trek Scuball two

453
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:22,079
point two six era A two point seven eight expected

454
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,640
zero p one eighty six whip. He's been terrific. He's

455
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,119
going to be your cy young winner in the American League.

456
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,400
But there's two ways to look at this game. If

457
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,000
Detroit is going to win a game, this will definitely

458
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:41,480
be the best chance in this series. You got Tocoo

459
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,920
blow on the mount, and you've got let me take

460
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,960
a look at the bullpens, and that's the real key here.

461
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,640
Detroit yesterday did not use any of their key guys.

462
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,519
Now they did throw a lot of innings in the bullpen,

463
00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:53,880
but it was Kinley, he was Horn, he was a

464
00:23:53,960 --> 00:24:01,160
kiddy herder and Paddock. All all the back end guys, Holton, Melton, Montero, Invests,

465
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,880
none of them pitched yesterday. In fact, Melton has a

466
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,519
pitch since last Saturday. And I really like him. He's

467
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,160
I think he's going to be in the rotation next

468
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,119
year for them. He's a really good pitcher. Take a

469
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,559
look at what Cleveland has here. Let's look at the

470
00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:21,559
Guardians just I've never seen a bullpen is banged up

471
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:27,799
from availability as I've had here. Luckily they had Monday off.

472
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,319
But Kate Smith is not pitched for the last five days.

473
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,519
I didn't think he'd be used yesterday, and he was,

474
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:40,920
and luckily he was successful. But he will not pitch

475
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,920
three days in a row. You've got Hunter Gaddis has

476
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,839
pitched three the last five days. You've got Sebrowski's pitch

477
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,920
two days straight. You've got Festa two days straight, and

478
00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:53,480
three at the last four. You've got here in two

479
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:56,480
days straight. Three at the last four, got Jacob Junis

480
00:24:56,519 --> 00:24:59,920
two days straight. I leave Zach Kent and Kobe Allo

481
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,160
the only two guys who are going to be counted

482
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,359
on for sure in tonight's game. In today's game, actually

483
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,400
I think it's a day game. But they haven't pitched

484
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:16,559
in a week. So this entire bullpen has been misused.

485
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,480
If you ask me for the wins, and they're in

486
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:26,160
real trouble, they need innings out of Biby today. So

487
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,880
there's two different ways to play this. I would I don't.

488
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,000
It's not something that I have here in Vegas that

489
00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:35,160
I could play. But if you can get a really

490
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,759
good number on will Tanner Biby get the victory here,

491
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,920
that would I would use that as a hedge against

492
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,279
Detroit winning this game, because I think Detroit will win it.

493
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,279
I don't really want to lay two dollars, but if

494
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,079
Biby comes out and pitches as well as you did

495
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,400
last time out, gives them a chance to win this

496
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,559
where he can get the victory. I kind of like that.

497
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,640
I don't want anything to do with the bullpen what

498
00:26:01,759 --> 00:26:03,839
I'll probably end up doing. And I hate to go

499
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,680
along here, but I've really looked into this game. If

500
00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:10,720
Cleveland gets up to an early one nothing lead, I'm

501
00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:13,079
coming all in on Detroit in this game live and

502
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,359
try to probably try to get them at you know,

503
00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:18,720
minus one forty or less in this game. So that's

504
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,799
the way I'm looking at it. It's one a more interesting

505
00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:24,880
handicaps you will see on an entire card, and there's

506
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,039
another one here that I think is pretty much similar.

507
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,759
But you'll learn a lot out of watching this game today.

508
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 4: Guys, do us a favor, go to the replay and

509
00:26:35,319 --> 00:26:37,880
leave a comment for us. We read them all and

510
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,240
we'll respond if it's a thoughtful comment. If you hate us,

511
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,880
that's fine too. Let us know. We love to know

512
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,680
when people hate us as well. I got a four

513
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,079
percent play up today, So go to wajytalk dot com

514
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,359
and see what all of us have regarding this one.

515
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,880
I'll take an injured Scooble over Tanner Baby any day.

516
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,319
I got Google ranked number one out of every major

517
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,000
league pitcher out there. Tigers are still a better team

518
00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:07,200
than the Guardians in my opinion, Tigers would be the

519
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,160
only way I would go here. Regarding bullpens, yes, I

520
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,480
think Cleveland's bullpen is better, but like Brian said, they're

521
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,599
a bit in shambles. If Google goes seven innings, the

522
00:27:17,599 --> 00:27:20,799
bullpen is not going to make any difference anyway. Coming

523
00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:22,839
off of injury. He might not They might not let

524
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,839
him go that deep, so it may come into a factor.

525
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,039
But you know, when you're when you're already up six nothing,

526
00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:32,039
I don't think it matters. So I think Detroit is

527
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:35,839
the only way to go here. Don't think it, don't

528
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,680
overthink it. Take takes Google here.

529
00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:43,279
Speaker 1: Problem with Detroit, problem with all of that is It

530
00:27:43,839 --> 00:27:46,039
isn't just this last couple of weeks. Detroit has not

531
00:27:46,079 --> 00:27:48,920
really played good ball since the Mariner series the week

532
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,480
before the All Star Break. So this team got so

533
00:27:51,599 --> 00:27:54,759
far out into the into the into a lead that

534
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,480
they took their foot off the gas going to the

535
00:27:56,519 --> 00:27:58,559
All Star Break. That's fine, whatever, A lot of teams

536
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:01,279
do that. Fine, guys, six guys go to the All

537
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:04,200
Star Game. Problem is they have they have not. I mean,

538
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,880
you can go back to mid July. This team's been

539
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,640
like a like a five hundred. Not only have they

540
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,240
been a five hundred team, but they just they they

541
00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:14,079
just haven't really played well. And then you talk about, yes,

542
00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:17,039
I think Hinch just mixing and matching. He's experimenting a

543
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:20,720
little bit. They're they're you know what are they like

544
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:24,400
three and seven over their last ten games, pretty much

545
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,240
a five hundred team the last few weeks. And I'll

546
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:28,400
go back to what Brian said, at this time of

547
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,920
the year, it's tough to just like snap your fingers

548
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,079
and like like turn it on, start playing your best ball,

549
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,039
whereas the Guardians are playing their best ball. So yes,

550
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:42,319
big time, big time concern in the bullpen. I'm gonna

551
00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:44,839
tell you what I what I think the Guardians should do,

552
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,599
and I think you should keep an eye on this

553
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,880
as we get close to the game time. So Austin

554
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,119
Peterson is the best pitcher they have in Triple A

555
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:56,200
right now. He's he is a there as far as

556
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,400
like young guys at Triple A. He's been the best

557
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,000
all year. He's been a starter, uh one point one

558
00:29:02,079 --> 00:29:05,039
four era. He's been the most consistent sort of good

559
00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:08,759
starter for Columbus. Last Saturday, so this would have been, yeah,

560
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:12,519
like Saturday, A week from Saturday, they decided to throw

561
00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:16,240
him out of the bullpen for the first time all year. Initially,

562
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:18,279
when I saw them do that, I was interested in that.

563
00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:20,720
I was like, hmm, that was interesting. Didn't expect him

564
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,640
to come out of the pen. I thought they did

565
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,039
it because they needed to make room for John Means

566
00:29:25,079 --> 00:29:26,440
to make a rehab start.

567
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,839
Speaker 2: So that's another need. John Means is down there.

568
00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:32,119
Speaker 1: But I did see they they talked about Means. They

569
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,200
want him to make one more rehab start before he

570
00:29:35,599 --> 00:29:38,160
is in line to come back. So you got two

571
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,160
guys that they could use today. They could say the

572
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,359
hell would the last rehab start and bring up Means,

573
00:29:42,839 --> 00:29:46,839
or they can go with Austin Peterson. Now, Peterson was

574
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,599
on the list to start and I saw they scratched him,

575
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,839
so I think he was supposed to.

576
00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:54,359
Speaker 2: He threw a couple innings out of the bullpen on Saturday.

577
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,039
Speaker 1: I think he was going to start yesterday and then

578
00:29:56,039 --> 00:29:58,119
he didn't, or he was going to start today, and

579
00:29:58,119 --> 00:30:01,000
then it looks like it's Will Dion for for Columbus.

580
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,880
I'm just saying if they were to bring him up,

581
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,039
that would be an interesting option after Biby, because he's

582
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,559
very good. No one's ever heard of him. He's been

583
00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:12,279
their most consistent arm at Triple A and you start

584
00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:15,279
to see guys, you start to see teams do this sometimes.

585
00:30:15,599 --> 00:30:17,839
I'd i'd be all about Guardians plus one and a

586
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,000
half if I saw a little tweet from the Guardians

587
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:24,079
before the game saying they're calling up Buston Peterson, because

588
00:30:24,079 --> 00:30:26,880
that means they're gonna go They're gonna say forget the bullpen,

589
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:29,200
We're gonna go Biby and then we're gonna give Peterson

590
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,119
the rest of the game. And that's something I could

591
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,119
think I could get down with, So keep an eye

592
00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:33,839
on that.

593
00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: That would be the way in for the Guardians.

594
00:30:35,759 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: At plus one and a half minus one fifteen minus

595
00:30:38,279 --> 00:30:39,799
went twenty. If you were to tell me I was

596
00:30:39,839 --> 00:30:43,880
gonna get Biby Peterson and the run and be on

597
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,640
the road and have the better team playing, which is

598
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,680
the Guardians, I think i'd sign up for that. It

599
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,279
would be it would be Guardians plus one and a

600
00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:52,400
half for me. Brian, go ahead, are you gonna follow

601
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:52,759
up to that?

602
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just gonna ask you about Peterson. Peterson as

603
00:30:56,759 --> 00:31:01,599
the right hander. So if if they do that, the

604
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,400
problem with Claveland it is, yes, they can drop heron

605
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,359
sent him back down. Since he's pitched three out the

606
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,039
last four, he's still got two options left. But he's

607
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:14,720
a lefty. I would rather see them bring up somebody

608
00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:16,079
who is a left.

609
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,519
Speaker 1: Well, you'd rather see them bring up John Means. That

610
00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:21,160
would be it would be much better to do means.

611
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,000
But I did see that they the Guardians said they

612
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,200
wanted him to make one more start at Columbus, probably

613
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,599
because he hasn't been great, But he's already made four

614
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,960
four rehab starts. So you also have to wonder do

615
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:37,279
they just say the hell with it and are like, hey,

616
00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:39,440
can you give us three innings and we'll see how

617
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,319
it goes, because that's an option too.

618
00:31:43,119 --> 00:31:44,039
Speaker 3: I can understand that.

619
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:46,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting game.

620
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: It's it's also going to be tough for them to

621
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,920
make these moves because it's a day game. It's a

622
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,839
one o'clock game. But I think Columbus is home, so

623
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,160
it's like it'd be easy to get them up to Detroit.

624
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,720
That's an easy you know. They could decide now that

625
00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:02,880
they want to get someone from Troit Columbus to Detroit

626
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,559
and get them there by game time, So that will

627
00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:07,359
be that'll be an interesting one to watch. It was

628
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:11,000
a good discussion right there, and for Brian's sake, I'd

629
00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:13,240
love to see the Guardians win and really make this

630
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:15,960
division interesting. That would be uh, that would be fun

631
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,359
for the last week there if suddenly the al Central,

632
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:23,720
which has been I feel like has been done for months,

633
00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:26,960
would go into the last week with some meeting. All right,

634
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,279
Titan CTI says Mariners minus twenty eighteen. Let's go back

635
00:32:30,319 --> 00:32:32,680
to Brian Leonard. I'm not a big Louis Castillo guy,

636
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,119
but I don't hate the spot for the Mariners here.

637
00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:37,599
Speaker 2: So we'll start with you and then we'll go to TV.

638
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: Who cashed a nice winner with the Mariners earlier in

639
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,000
this series as part of the Parlia Mariners Royals.

640
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 3: How do you see this, Yeah, Castillo's going against Colic

641
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,839
and Cola's that's really well. Since coming over from San Diego,

642
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,759
he's been a real bright spot for Kansas City. We're

643
00:32:52,759 --> 00:32:56,759
getting Castillo about a one, one twenty favorite sort of

644
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:04,480
nine to the over. When you're looking at Castillo on

645
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,319
the season. No, his numbers have not been as good

646
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:10,079
as they've been in the past. He's thirty two years

647
00:33:10,079 --> 00:33:13,599
old now pitching in his ninth season. He's got just

648
00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:17,359
short of fourteen hundred career innings, so he's starting to

649
00:33:17,359 --> 00:33:19,640
worry out a little bit. Three point seven six ERA,

650
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,680
four point three to zero expected. In fact, you take

651
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,480
a look at his last four years, he's he's been

652
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,720
able to beat his expected dora. Eventually that may come

653
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,480
back to hauntum. But no, he's doing very well. But

654
00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:37,000
his extensions in the first percent tel hard hit rate,

655
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:40,240
in the ninth barrel in the fourteenth something to really

656
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,400
be concerned about. His walk grade is really the only

657
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,119
thing he's done very well in this year. Seventy fifth

658
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,440
percent talent walk grade only six point six worth league

659
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,799
average is eight point four. He only throws four pitches

660
00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:58,240
for seemer forty seven percent of the time. Not something

661
00:33:58,279 --> 00:34:03,279
I'm looking back normally. Stephen Kollik, we talked about him

662
00:34:03,319 --> 00:34:06,480
in the past with the with the Padres. I know

663
00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:08,960
the Trigg said he didn't think of him as a

664
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,320
major league pitcher. But you know, in two seasons he's

665
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,440
got eight and five record, four point one ninety or

666
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,360
a one point three whip. Whip's a little high hard

667
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,639
hit rate third percent. I strike out right ninth with fifth,

668
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,440
Jackson velasty seventh. But as I said, he has seemed

669
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,920
to have pitched very well for Kansasity when I've watched him,

670
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,400
and I even watched the Ken I always try to watch.

671
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,599
Being being a Cleveland fan, we watch every game. I

672
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:38,079
try to watch the opposing teams broadcast. That way I

673
00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:40,920
get their opinions on their players as well as a

674
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,840
fresh opinion on the Cleveland players. So that's something I've

675
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,920
always done, whether it be listening to it on the

676
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,159
radio or watching the games. But he's got six pitches.

677
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:54,440
He throws from seven to twenty seven percent, So I

678
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:56,800
like his I liked a lot of what Colic does,

679
00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:00,760
but a lot of his lack of success was in

680
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:06,079
San Diego. He's pitched much better here. So if I'm

681
00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:09,440
going to play it, I would tag Kansas City in

682
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,440
this one, just because I want to play against Castillo,

683
00:35:12,039 --> 00:35:15,559
and I think we're getting one team when players change.

684
00:35:16,599 --> 00:35:19,159
And we talked about this with Miami earlier in the season.

685
00:35:19,159 --> 00:35:22,559
When when players change from one team to another, especially

686
00:35:22,639 --> 00:35:24,800
when you leave leagues and you go into a different league,

687
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,400
the team the new team will do some some work

688
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,000
on them and see what you want about Kansas City.

689
00:35:32,039 --> 00:35:34,320
They've got a lot of guys in this rotation other

690
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,719
than a couple of veterans that they have been very good,

691
00:35:37,159 --> 00:35:39,519
but a lot of these younger guys that really pitched

692
00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:42,760
pretty well on the season. And you look at a

693
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,199
bunch of them Brigette, I believe they just was just injured,

694
00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:48,280
but he had pitched very well. You know, a lot

695
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,320
of these young guys that did good judge of pitching,

696
00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:58,119
good good pitching coaches there at Kansas City. So despite

697
00:35:58,159 --> 00:36:00,320
you know, there's a few times this week where I thought, well,

698
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,239
they're out of it now, they're gonna you know, but no,

699
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,119
they continue to play a lot with a lot of heart.

700
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:08,400
They're like Baltimore and so I kind of like Kansas

701
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,599
City here. It's one of the games I'm thinking about

702
00:36:11,679 --> 00:36:13,159
for my parley handle here.

703
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I forgot to say thanks to Brian for coming

704
00:36:18,679 --> 00:36:21,360
out to the Westgates super Book to meet me yesterday.

705
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,199
I was We had a good time hanging out watching

706
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,400
baseball together. So thanks Brian. Go to waygetalk dot com

707
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,599
see what we have to offer. Check the free play

708
00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:32,280
page because I have something up already. I'm sure these

709
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:37,159
guys will too. Regarding this one, Castillo used to be

710
00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:40,480
a stud. He used to be like Schooble, not quite

711
00:36:40,519 --> 00:36:42,280
as good, but he was one of those guys where

712
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,599
you never bet against him. Eight innings shut out is

713
00:36:45,639 --> 00:36:48,199
what you could expect from him almost every start. But

714
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,679
he's not that guy anymore. But he is a very

715
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:59,079
very elite innings eater. There are placeholders in MLB, but

716
00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:02,559
he's one of the ones. He holds. He eats innings

717
00:37:02,679 --> 00:37:06,079
very well. He's a little older now, so he's not

718
00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:08,920
the guy he used to be. He's got great stats

719
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,440
against these batters in his career, a two poh seven

720
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,840
average against in his six fourteen ops against. But that's

721
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,760
when he was elite and he's not that anymore, so

722
00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:21,800
I don't expect him to perform that well here. But

723
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:26,360
Colick has had a bad history against these batters. Granted

724
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,719
to sample size, is only twenty three at bats against,

725
00:37:29,199 --> 00:37:30,960
but he's allowed a three h four average in one

726
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,760
thousand and eighty ops. Not good. The good thing about Colic, though,

727
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,079
is his WAP strikeout ratio is really good. He's got

728
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:45,000
it under thirty. He's got pretty good command, and I

729
00:37:45,079 --> 00:37:49,400
have him ranked slightly higher than Castillo currently in current form,

730
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,400
just a couple points higher than Castillo. The thing is,

731
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,239
the Mariners are just hot right now. They're just cranking

732
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,400
right now. They got the best catcher in MLB set

733
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,920
in records best most home runs by a switch hitter,

734
00:38:03,599 --> 00:38:06,639
most home runs by a catcher. He's catching those records.

735
00:38:07,679 --> 00:38:09,639
I don't see how you can how you could bet

736
00:38:09,679 --> 00:38:13,320
against Seattle right here. I certainly won't because they're just

737
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,559
so red hot right now, and their bullpens playing well

738
00:38:16,159 --> 00:38:18,880
as well. Kansas City. I have them ranked kind of

739
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,079
mediocre at everything. They're right around fifty. I'm sorry, they're

740
00:38:22,119 --> 00:38:25,239
right around fifteen out of thirty at everything. So if

741
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,920
they have a good game, they can win it. And

742
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,480
if they don't have a good game, they want I

743
00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:32,159
know that's a lazy cap, but I don't see him

744
00:38:32,159 --> 00:38:36,719
breaking out here. I think Castillo can do man service

745
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,480
a serviceable start here, and if they get a sert

746
00:38:39,519 --> 00:38:44,400
of serviceable start from Castillo, I think it would be Seattle.

747
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,360
But I'm not going to play it.

748
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:49,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see it the same way.

749
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: First of all, you know, I see some people talking

750
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,480
about the total in the comments.

751
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: I think one.

752
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: I think someone's getting crushed, not sure who it is.

753
00:38:56,679 --> 00:38:58,679
When I look at these two sort of probiles. I

754
00:38:59,159 --> 00:39:01,360
look at how the teams have hit during the series.

755
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,119
There's been a ton of runs the first two days.

756
00:39:03,199 --> 00:39:04,960
I know it could like go the other way. But

757
00:39:05,679 --> 00:39:08,079
are Luis Castillo and Stephen Collack gonna gonna give you.

758
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:11,519
Speaker 2: A pitcher's duel? I I don't. My gut says no.

759
00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:15,000
You know, Tokyo Brandon made a good point that I'll

760
00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:15,800
elaborate on.

761
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 1: Stephen Colick has not been good against this Mariner's lineup,

762
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,480
and I think the sample size is a little bit

763
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,599
bigger than than maybe we you know, maybe that's that's

764
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,400
that you have on your numbers because Colic was at

765
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,039
I'll passo and I'll pass on in Tacoma play all

766
00:39:31,039 --> 00:39:32,960
the time. So there's probably quite a few guys in

767
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,519
this Mariner's lineup, depending on who's in the lineup today,

768
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,880
that have seen him quite a bit. I believe he

769
00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:42,239
made one start this year against the Mariners with the

770
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,679
Padres and got crushed. So yeah, I I would I

771
00:39:45,679 --> 00:39:49,000
would say that the Mariners probably have a good matchup here.

772
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 2: I wish I wish it was someone I.

773
00:39:51,679 --> 00:39:54,079
Speaker 1: Liked a little bit more than Castillo, because otherwise I

774
00:39:54,079 --> 00:39:57,199
would probably be on the Mariners in this spot. Castillo

775
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,679
has you know you're right, TV. He's a he's a veteran,

776
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,840
he's a pro, he's going to be prepared. He can

777
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,119
probably get you through five or six innings. But there's

778
00:40:06,159 --> 00:40:08,480
a lot of like blue on the stat cast page,

779
00:40:08,559 --> 00:40:12,800
a lot of hard hit. It's just not someone I'm

780
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,719
dying to back right now. And I think Colin makes

781
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,280
a great point right here. The Mariners had a huge

782
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,320
series coming up this weekend, a absolutely huge series. It

783
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,400
doesn't mean, it doesn't mean this game isn't any more

784
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,119
important than any of those, but I kind of see

785
00:40:26,119 --> 00:40:28,320
where Collin's coming from where it's like if they were

786
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,039
to fall behind, they really can't afford to put themselves

787
00:40:32,039 --> 00:40:35,800
in a situation where they wouldn't have like their full

788
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,360
complement of guys for that Astro series which is essentially

789
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,639
going to decide the division this weekend. So that's a

790
00:40:42,679 --> 00:40:45,400
really good point. Something I didn't really think about going

791
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,719
into my handicap of this, and I think it does

792
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,119
make me like the Mariners a little bit less.

793
00:40:51,159 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 2: Not that I don't think the Mariners can or even

794
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:54,360
will win this game.

795
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,639
Speaker 1: I'm not high on Colek As Brian said, I may

796
00:40:56,679 --> 00:40:58,519
have been a little bit out of pocket calling him

797
00:40:58,519 --> 00:41:01,679
a triple A pitcher. He's been better than that. But

798
00:41:02,679 --> 00:41:05,719
TV is right, they've had a big time. They've had success.

799
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,559
This Mariner's lineup has had success against him, and you

800
00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:12,199
know that there is the potential look ahead of a

801
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,320
three game series in Houston this weekend that is essentially

802
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:16,400
going to decide the aos.

803
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,519
Speaker 2: So very interesting game.

804
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,079
Speaker 1: I think i'd have to be on the over if

805
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:24,199
I was gonna play this one either way. Okay, we'll

806
00:41:24,199 --> 00:41:26,159
get a parlay going. I know we've when no one's

807
00:41:26,159 --> 00:41:28,320
given out a play yet, we've got eighteen minutes left.

808
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,000
Don't worry, still plenty of time to get the uh,

809
00:41:31,599 --> 00:41:34,079
get the parlay in. Let's uh, let's go back to

810
00:41:34,119 --> 00:41:38,559
the chat for a game. Well, I'll just I'll you

811
00:41:38,559 --> 00:41:40,679
know what, I'll give it out. I'm just gonna give

812
00:41:40,679 --> 00:41:42,360
it out. I probably do done this too much this

813
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,440
leek week, but management hasn't yelled at me yet, so

814
00:41:46,639 --> 00:41:49,519
I also, this one's moved a little bit, so i'd

815
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:52,840
rather like, I'd rather not even sell it and sell

816
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,000
it at a worse number, So I'll give I'm gonna

817
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,159
go to my game. I'll just tell you right now,

818
00:41:59,199 --> 00:42:02,559
I played the Met I played Jonah tong one PM game.

819
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,280
That's a client play that I'm now not going to

820
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,280
put up because it's moved off a little bit off

821
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,480
of what I bet it at earlier. But I will

822
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,239
go to Brian to get his thoughts first, actually, both

823
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,639
of you, because you're both going to get to go

824
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,199
before me. Padres Metz agree or disagree with me. Brian,

825
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,119
I'm on the Mets today.

826
00:42:18,519 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're looking at about a one forty right now

827
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,079
on Tongue and the Mets. And I'm glad you brought

828
00:42:23,079 --> 00:42:27,039
this one up because I've studied this game a little

829
00:42:27,079 --> 00:42:30,440
bit more than some of the others. I was really

830
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:35,280
interested in why Tong has struggled, in how these two

831
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,800
pictures match up. But basically, you're getting on about a

832
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,840
one forty favorite total of nine. And we don't have

833
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,599
a producer for this show. All the other shows get

834
00:42:44,639 --> 00:42:47,239
all the bells and whistles. It's just the three of us.

835
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:53,920
And unfortunately I can't show like a statcast page on

836
00:42:54,199 --> 00:42:58,639
anything here. But when I take a look at Vasquez

837
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,400
and Tong, it's pretty interesting. Randy Vasquez is a guy

838
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,360
that you know, for the most part, we've not really liked.

839
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,480
He's been around three seasons. He's got a four point

840
00:43:11,559 --> 00:43:14,679
zero three e RA high whip of one point four.

841
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:19,360
Oh but if you take a look at his stack

842
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,639
cast page, there's a lot of blue, no doubt about it.

843
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,960
Barrel right nine percent of strike IRA first with for

844
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,840
eight first expected the era sixth. But the one thing

845
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,440
I wanted to point out about Randy Vasquez and there

846
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,840
are guys and I just talked about it in a

847
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,639
previous video or previous game, we talked about abbots this way,

848
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,079
take a look at what his ERA is compared to

849
00:43:43,119 --> 00:43:46,719
his expected e RA in his three seasons. This year,

850
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:53,599
his ERA is one point eight runs lower than is expected.

851
00:43:54,519 --> 00:43:59,119
Last year, his ERA was one point one runs lower

852
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:03,559
than his ex In twenty twenty four, his ERA was

853
00:44:03,679 --> 00:44:09,800
two point five runs lower than he's expected. We I,

854
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:13,199
for one look at his tackass page to see all

855
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,039
the blue, and this is a guy try to go against.

856
00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:18,920
And I said, you know, look look at his expected numbers.

857
00:44:19,039 --> 00:44:21,039
There's no way to keep us out. Well, he's now

858
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:24,360
thrown two hundred and fifty nine innings in his major

859
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,960
league career. He throws seven different pitches, none of them

860
00:44:29,119 --> 00:44:33,360
over twenty five percent of his pitches. Maybe it's to

861
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,639
the point where Randy Vasquez, you got admit, has found

862
00:44:36,639 --> 00:44:39,199
something out. We talked. We talked about the Reds being

863
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,360
able to have all these flyball pitchers in Cincinnati and

864
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,639
this year they're not giving up on runs. Maybe maybe

865
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,480
he's a guy that we find value in two hundred

866
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,079
and fifty nine and that's a lot of innings. Jonah

867
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:54,440
thom comes in eight point four nine ERA, one point

868
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,360
seven to one whip five point three nine expected ara

869
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:03,039
what I got out of look at Jonah Toong's stackass

870
00:45:03,079 --> 00:45:05,599
page and he's only thrown the eleven to two Thursday eight,

871
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,559
so it's it's not really enough to get a good judge.

872
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,079
But if you take a look at his they've got

873
00:45:12,119 --> 00:45:14,360
a chart, I mean, if you go to the Savant page,

874
00:45:15,159 --> 00:45:19,719
if anybody's out there following along, it's got a movement profile,

875
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:24,880
and he throws the ball basically straight above his head.

876
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,320
He there's a very few people to do it. Now.

877
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,880
When he does it, I think he's going to have

878
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,800
a lot of success eventually. But if you take a

879
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,920
look and they've got a chart about where the league

880
00:45:37,039 --> 00:45:41,079
average in the strike zone, these all these pitches are

881
00:45:41,119 --> 00:45:43,800
supposed to go for the league average, you take a

882
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:48,199
look at him. His curveball right now is like if

883
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:52,719
you're looking at a clock, it'd be like six, like

884
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,239
like between six and seven pm. It's more of a

885
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,639
complete up and down break or his most curveballs are

886
00:46:00,679 --> 00:46:05,199
a little bit higher. So once he gets that into

887
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:10,440
the zone a little bit more, and right now is

888
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,800
if he throws it in the zone, he'll have success.

889
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,280
A lot of guys right now are just waiting on it.

890
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,239
They're just spitting on it. They says, I'm not going

891
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:19,880
to be able to hit that I'm not doing it.

892
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,559
His sliders in the league average range. His change up

893
00:46:25,119 --> 00:46:28,880
is his change up and his four seemer appear to

894
00:46:29,079 --> 00:46:33,880
rise and they're higher in the strike zone. So what

895
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,760
people are doing is they're spitting on the curve under

896
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,000
the strike zone. They're spitting on his foreseemer and his

897
00:46:42,119 --> 00:46:45,719
change up, which are higher in the zone, especially his foreseemer,

898
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,000
and it's looking to rise, and they're just letting it go.

899
00:46:49,159 --> 00:46:51,239
They're they're sitting there right in the middle of the

900
00:46:51,639 --> 00:46:53,360
right in the middle, they're waiting for the ball to

901
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,159
come right in the middle of the of the strike

902
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,800
zone and he's trying to avoid that and he's struggling,

903
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,320
and that that's why his walk right right now is

904
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:07,239
at twelve point seven. Once he figures this all out,

905
00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:10,159
the sky's a limit on this guy. But right now

906
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,199
he's he's only got the eleven to two Thursdy innings.

907
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,960
He's trying to learn. Pay no attention to what's going

908
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,159
on now. Look in the future, this guy could be

909
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,880
fantastic in the future. I think there's value on both

910
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,840
these pictures in this game. Today. I kind of like

911
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,480
the under and I will use that as my play

912
00:47:28,519 --> 00:47:31,039
in the parlay. I know where you took the side.

913
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you that should let us do full,

914
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,599
full game side, full game total should be fine.

915
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,159
Speaker 3: All right, So I'm gonna use the Mets under nine

916
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,559
and you're getting them it, you know, minus one ten.

917
00:47:46,159 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he does have a promising future. Promising future

918
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,079
is good, but this game is today. So uh. If

919
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:56,800
you look at Randy Vasquez in his last six starts,

920
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,400
he's only given up more than two earned one time.

921
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,320
He's pitching great. We've mentioned this on previous shows, but

922
00:48:05,119 --> 00:48:10,079
he's very lucky. If there was an award for first

923
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:12,440
and second base with no outs and get out of

924
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,239
the inning clean, he would win the award because he

925
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,519
puts more guys on base with no outs and gets

926
00:48:18,559 --> 00:48:21,360
out of it more than anyone I've ever seen, even

927
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,920
in Japan. So yes, he's been lucky because he puts

928
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,559
a lot of guys on base. But this lineup is

929
00:48:29,599 --> 00:48:34,360
playing well, and San Diego's bullpen is pitching well. I

930
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,639
have San Diego more than fifteen points higher than I

931
00:48:38,679 --> 00:48:41,400
have the Mets here, and then you add the starting pitching. Look,

932
00:48:41,559 --> 00:48:44,760
my numbers hate Randy Vasquez. My numbers have Randy Vasquez

933
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,719
ranked twenty two out of thirty on a curve of

934
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,679
thirty for starting pitchers, so he's definitely in the bottom

935
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:56,280
one third of starting pitchers. But against this team, I think,

936
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,760
I mean, my numbers hate him because he expected era

937
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:02,360
is so high. When you put guys on first and

938
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,079
second with no doubt every single inning, you're bound to

939
00:49:06,119 --> 00:49:09,800
get tagged eventually, but he doesn't. Somehow he gets out

940
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,760
of it. He's like a mcgiver. Do you remember that

941
00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:16,000
nineteen eighties TV show Mcgiver. He gets out of every

942
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:19,400
jam he's in. So it's not gonna last forever. He's

943
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,320
gonna get tagged eventually. But I think san Diego has

944
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,840
a huge advantage in bullpen. I think san Diego has

945
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,119
a huge advantage in hitting. San Diego is one of

946
00:49:29,159 --> 00:49:31,800
those teams. Though, whenever I back him, they lay an egg.

947
00:49:32,599 --> 00:49:35,159
I can't stand it, but I have no choice but

948
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,280
to back him here because Tom, although maybe he has

949
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:43,519
a great future ahead, I don't think his future is today.

950
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,079
Speaker 1: So I want to point out that when I locked

951
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:48,079
this in for clients, it was in like the minus

952
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,400
one twenty five range, so obviously it's moved a little bits.

953
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,360
Part of the reason I'm willing to give it out here,

954
00:49:53,599 --> 00:49:56,239
I'll put it in the parlay. I don't I would

955
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:57,840
have put it up for sale. So you're gonna get

956
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,280
a free one if you want to take the little

957
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,039
bit slightly worse number, but you know it's moved off

958
00:50:03,079 --> 00:50:06,119
the number of you know where I feel comfortable putting

959
00:50:06,159 --> 00:50:08,280
up a play for sales, so you'll get another free

960
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:08,559
one here.

961
00:50:08,679 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 2: METS on the money line is a four percent play

962
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:11,639
for me.

963
00:50:12,039 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think minus one twenty seven was

964
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,239
where I eventually locked it in, which wasn't even the

965
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:16,840
best number.

966
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 2: I think.

967
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: I kind of, you know, had my eye on it

968
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,800
started to move. I said, I better get down now

969
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,960
because I could. I could see this actually really moving.

970
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,559
So you actually could have probably got minus one twenty

971
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:30,480
a little bit earlier this morning or overnight. Here's the thing, like,

972
00:50:31,559 --> 00:50:33,199
here's what we have to realize a couple of things.

973
00:50:33,199 --> 00:50:37,519
So I follow the METS affiliates very closely. They're in

974
00:50:37,599 --> 00:50:40,920
my area. So we've got Syracuse half hour from where

975
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,039
I live, Binghamton ninety minutes or so from where I lived,

976
00:50:44,199 --> 00:50:47,119
and so I kind of follow those teams closely because

977
00:50:47,159 --> 00:50:49,800
their area teams are easy to go see, and they've

978
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,079
had some really good players this year, so it's like

979
00:50:52,159 --> 00:50:54,199
I've I've made more of an effort to like keep

980
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:55,920
up with them, get out the games.

981
00:50:55,639 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 2: So on and so forth.

982
00:50:57,119 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 1: Jonatong was the best pitcher of the minors this year,

983
00:50:59,519 --> 00:51:02,280
most of which most of which would occurred at Binghamton

984
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,800
Double A. And this is this is the reason that

985
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,920
most teams do not just like rush pick pitchers up

986
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,360
to the big leagues, because in a perfect world, Tonge

987
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,039
gets ten, twelve, fifteen starts at Triple A to to

988
00:51:17,159 --> 00:51:20,719
sort of do what he's gonna do, right, But in

989
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,719
this scenario, the Mets were looking at their whole deal

990
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,800
and saying, you know, we got to see if any

991
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,239
of these young guys can do it, because that's our

992
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,679
only way to win a World Series. Remember Mets, what

993
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,519
Cohen Mets, Mets fans, this organization win a World Series.

994
00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:39,280
That's the goal this year. I know they're going to

995
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,519
be a wildcard team, but that's the goal. That's the

996
00:51:41,559 --> 00:51:43,679
only goal for this Mets team. What can we what

997
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,400
can we do to win a championship.

998
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 2: The thing that they.

999
00:51:46,599 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: Decided to do was bring all these young guys up

1000
00:51:49,079 --> 00:51:52,360
see who see if someone can do it, that someone's

1001
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,119
gonna be Nolan McLean. Now, they're not giving up on Tong.

1002
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,960
Tong's gonna be awesome. Yes, he struggled a little bit,

1003
00:51:58,079 --> 00:51:59,639
but he's not going to have a long lease year.

1004
00:51:59,679 --> 00:52:01,239
Do you think that the Mets are gonna let him

1005
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,039
go out and get crushed again after he couldn't get

1006
00:52:04,039 --> 00:52:05,880
out of the first thing inning against Rangers.

1007
00:52:06,079 --> 00:52:07,039
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. So.

1008
00:52:07,519 --> 00:52:09,159
Speaker 1: The one thing that the Mets have right now that

1009
00:52:09,199 --> 00:52:11,719
a lot of these other other organizations don't is they

1010
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,199
have a ton of pitching depth. It might not be

1011
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,559
they don't they might not have a big time ace,

1012
00:52:18,679 --> 00:52:20,159
or you know, they might still be trying to figure

1013
00:52:20,159 --> 00:52:23,000
out their starting rotation. They have so many they have

1014
00:52:23,119 --> 00:52:25,760
pitchers for days. So what you're gonna get here is

1015
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,519
one of two things. Either Tong's gonna have it, he's

1016
00:52:28,559 --> 00:52:31,519
gonna make some adjustments and he's gonna be really good,

1017
00:52:32,039 --> 00:52:33,960
or he's not and he's gonna be out after the

1018
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:34,519
first inning.

1019
00:52:34,639 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

1020
00:52:35,559 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Brandon' scrot maybe it's the next guy they

1021
00:52:38,039 --> 00:52:40,159
call up. The point is you're not gonna have to

1022
00:52:40,159 --> 00:52:42,519
worry about the Mets having good pitching here. They are

1023
00:52:42,559 --> 00:52:45,480
now only a game and a half ahead of the Diamondbacks,

1024
00:52:45,519 --> 00:52:47,679
two games ahead of the Rents, two games ahead of

1025
00:52:47,679 --> 00:52:52,119
the Giants. They are in win this game mode more

1026
00:52:52,159 --> 00:52:54,159
than they've been all season, and they didn't use any

1027
00:52:54,159 --> 00:52:56,480
of the good bullpen arms yesterday, so I think it's

1028
00:52:56,519 --> 00:52:57,679
a huge upside play.

1029
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 2: You're either gonna get Tong who's really good.

1030
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: If he's not good, he's out of there, and then

1031
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,039
you're going to see the Mets throw all the best

1032
00:53:04,039 --> 00:53:06,159
bullpen arms because they need to win this game.

1033
00:53:06,159 --> 00:53:07,519
Speaker 2: That's why I like the Mets go ahead bright.

1034
00:53:08,199 --> 00:53:11,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, Brenda Sprout's scheduled to start tomorrow, so it won't

1035
00:53:11,159 --> 00:53:15,840
be Sprout. But I like both bullpen situations. As you mentioned,

1036
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,079
the Mets have used some of their guys yesterday, some

1037
00:53:19,119 --> 00:53:22,039
of the back of the back of the bullpen guys,

1038
00:53:22,599 --> 00:53:26,039
but Diaz, Rogers, and Raley none of them will pitched

1039
00:53:26,039 --> 00:53:30,039
the last three days. They will not. There's a lot

1040
00:53:30,039 --> 00:53:31,800
of guys in the bullpen that are available today. I

1041
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,559
think that's going to help them, but also San Diego's

1042
00:53:34,639 --> 00:53:37,920
They did use four guys yesterday in the bullpen, their

1043
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:42,000
best four guys, but they hadn't pitched the two days

1044
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,320
before that. So all the bullpen arms, all the quality

1045
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,239
bullpen arms, and these are two teams that got very

1046
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,599
good bullpens will be available in this one, which even

1047
00:53:50,679 --> 00:53:54,199
makes my undernine something I even like a little bit better.

1048
00:53:55,039 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I want to point turnbucle Taler made a

1049
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,360
great point. The Mets do have some really good left

1050
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,800
handed bats. Vasquez struggles against lefties, and we've talked about

1051
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,239
this all year. Cityfield is a forgiving park, like where

1052
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,760
I've noticed, tom you were talking about where he misses

1053
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,400
it's up. I even saw that in the two the

1054
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,199
start I went to go watch him. I sat like

1055
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,800
right behind home played in Syracuse. I turned to my

1056
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,719
father in law and I was like, he's missing up

1057
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,719
and those fly balls are going to be homers in

1058
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,480
the big leagues. And he got away with like three

1059
00:54:23,559 --> 00:54:25,960
fly balls that were caught literally back to the wall

1060
00:54:26,039 --> 00:54:29,920
in that Syracuse start. And so you know, but I

1061
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,280
think one of his starts was a great American. This

1062
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,320
is a little bit more forgiving. So yeah, those are

1063
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:38,199
all things. Good point, Tommy, that's a good point about Basquez.

1064
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,079
All right, we'll go to TB and have him propose

1065
00:54:41,119 --> 00:54:43,199
a game or let us know what he likes for

1066
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:43,639
the parlay.

1067
00:54:43,639 --> 00:54:45,159
Speaker 2: Since we only got about five minutes left.

1068
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to take the Yankees here. This is

1069
00:54:49,079 --> 00:54:52,840
one of those where you just don't overthink it and

1070
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:57,000
take the better picture here. I think, yeah, the Ools

1071
00:54:57,039 --> 00:55:00,000
are playing pretty well right now, but let's not forget

1072
00:55:00,159 --> 00:55:04,320
the Yankees are playing really well. Surprisingly because I was

1073
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:09,480
kind of down on the Yankees earlier, but they're playing

1074
00:55:09,559 --> 00:55:13,559
quite well right now. Aside from the bullpen, they've had

1075
00:55:13,599 --> 00:55:17,360
some bullpen blow ups. Nuke Weavers out there. He gets

1076
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,800
nuked every time they put him in, but they do

1077
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:25,360
have some good arms in the bullpen. The Orioles bullpen

1078
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,599
mediocre at best. But the Oriols are not hitting. That's

1079
00:55:29,639 --> 00:55:31,920
their problem right now. I got them ranked twenty four

1080
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,519
at a thirty in current form. I like starting pitcher

1081
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,840
Max Freed. Not a lot of pictures better than Max Freed.

1082
00:55:40,199 --> 00:55:43,960
There are some, but not a lot. He's really good.

1083
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,280
I'm not a big Povich fan. I think the Yankees

1084
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,039
come out here and take care of business. It's not

1085
00:55:50,039 --> 00:55:52,360
a play I would put out for clients on the

1086
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,800
money line, but for parlay, I think this is a

1087
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,320
decent odd decent time to go with the Yankees here,

1088
00:55:58,360 --> 00:55:59,480
even though they're on the road.

1089
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,039
Speaker 3: Minus two hundred MINEUS two hundred. And I do have

1090
00:56:04,079 --> 00:56:07,559
a question for you regarding k Paulovich. Do you have

1091
00:56:07,599 --> 00:56:10,360
his numbers against the Yankees?

1092
00:56:12,199 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 4: I can pull him up in just one second if

1093
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:20,480
I remember correctly. They were not terrible and not great.

1094
00:56:20,559 --> 00:56:23,159
It was kind of a meh kind of thing. Let

1095
00:56:23,199 --> 00:56:26,320
me let me confirm that two point fifty batting average

1096
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,239
against in a oneenty twenty four OPS against in twenty

1097
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,719
eight at bats. So the OPS is high, the average

1098
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:36,679
is low, which tells you they're not crushing him a lot.

1099
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,800
But when they do hit him, it's it's it's either

1100
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,239
a double or a home run, is what those numbers

1101
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:42,840
kind of tell me.

1102
00:56:43,519 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 3: And that's what the Yankees do.

1103
00:56:45,079 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 4: But that's how the Yankees play.

1104
00:56:46,679 --> 00:56:48,079
Speaker 3: They live and high run.

1105
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 4: Yeah. So but I'll take him here on the money line.

1106
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:56,320
Max Freed is an elite picture. He's had some rough patches,

1107
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,440
but I still have him as a top ten MLB pitcher.

1108
00:57:00,199 --> 00:57:04,000
He's not up there with Scoobal and Schemes, but he's

1109
00:57:04,039 --> 00:57:07,360
certainly up there with like a Christopher Sanchez in that

1110
00:57:07,519 --> 00:57:11,519
in that realm. So I think starting pitching huge advantage here.

1111
00:57:11,639 --> 00:57:13,519
And I like the Yankees hitters better as well.

1112
00:57:16,719 --> 00:57:19,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at the comments.

1113
00:57:19,199 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: Collins like Yankees, right, he'sel hammer Povich turnbucle Tommy likes

1114
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,599
the over if they don't hit Povich, there is the

1115
00:57:25,679 --> 00:57:28,199
Orioles have no one coming out of the bullpen today

1116
00:57:28,199 --> 00:57:31,400
that they can't hit. You know, the Yankees, they're probably

1117
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,119
gonna fall, They're probably gonna fall short in the division,

1118
00:57:34,159 --> 00:57:36,760
but I don't think it means that you won't see

1119
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:38,880
them play hard the rest of the way. I think

1120
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,480
they're starting to sort of peak a little bit. I

1121
00:57:41,519 --> 00:57:44,480
think they're gonna go into the playoffs with some momentum.

1122
00:57:44,559 --> 00:57:47,199
I like the way that they generally have, liked the

1123
00:57:47,239 --> 00:57:50,760
way that they've played in the month of September, And yeah,

1124
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,960
I would I would not be at all surprised, you know,

1125
00:57:53,039 --> 00:57:54,880
to see them put a couple of crooked numbers on

1126
00:57:55,199 --> 00:57:57,800
the Orioles here, Orioles coming back from Chicago.

1127
00:57:58,079 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 2: They just swept.

1128
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,199
Speaker 1: They mean, this is a team that's like they definitely

1129
00:58:02,199 --> 00:58:05,719
have played. I think they've they've played well for the

1130
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:07,800
last couple of weeks as sort of like the spoiler,

1131
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,079
but this certainly feels like a spot where they're very overmatched,

1132
00:58:11,079 --> 00:58:13,119
So I can't disagree with you there, TV, Brian, do

1133
00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:14,679
you want to add anything to that one?

1134
00:58:15,199 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 3: No, they're six and four the last ten, winning three straight.

1135
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,079
They I like the way Baltimore's playing right now, but

1136
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,760
from uh, I don't think the Povich matchup is good

1137
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:27,320
at all against the Yankees.

1138
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,639
Speaker 2: So that no, yeah, Yank, I don't.

1139
00:58:28,679 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 3: I don't play big favorites, but yeah, this is one

1140
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,320
of them that would be the only side I would

1141
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:33,639
look at.

1142
00:58:34,679 --> 00:58:36,719
Speaker 2: I mean, the Yankees are destroying lefties.

1143
00:58:37,079 --> 00:58:40,119
Speaker 1: They're crushing lefties like they they have They've been very,

1144
00:58:40,199 --> 00:58:42,679
very good against left handed pitching all season, so so

1145
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,840
what you're actually getting here probably is Yankees against Povich

1146
00:58:47,159 --> 00:58:50,840
to like some absolute bum bullpen arms.

1147
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,679
Speaker 2: So this is actually I mean, they're on the road,

1148
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,159
you could this is one.

1149
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: Scenario where I think Yankees laying the minus one and

1150
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,079
a half probably makes a lot of sense because it's

1151
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:02,000
only like minus one. You're getting the full nine at

1152
00:59:02,039 --> 00:59:05,280
that and if they if they're hitting, they're probably gonna

1153
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,880
win big. But yes, TV, I agree with you, Parlay,

1154
00:59:08,239 --> 00:59:10,400
no big deal putting the minus two hundred in there

1155
00:59:11,039 --> 00:59:12,480
and total.

1156
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,119
Speaker 4: Five and a half. So the books are onto it.

1157
00:59:16,119 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 2: That probably gets there. Honestly, that's not a bad bet.

1158
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, plus money too, I can have them money.

1159
00:59:22,519 --> 00:59:25,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're not getting You're not sneaking by the

1160
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,800
book the book makers in this one. You know, if

1161
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,840
you thought you could get a four and a half here, Nope, a.

1162
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,039
Speaker 1: Couple of long balls there, and the Yankees are are

1163
00:59:34,159 --> 00:59:37,800
dangerously close to just cashing that, and then the possibility

1164
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,960
that they tack on I don't think the Oriols are

1165
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:41,599
going to bring anyone out of the bullpen here that

1166
00:59:41,679 --> 00:59:44,679
can't give up a give up a crooked number. So

1167
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,559
a lot of chances for the Yankees to score in

1168
00:59:46,559 --> 00:59:46,840
that game.

1169
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, all.

1170
00:59:49,119 --> 00:59:52,719
Speaker 1: Right, parlay so yeah, we have a a three teamer

1171
00:59:53,079 --> 00:59:54,719
Brian and I are going to go in the same game,

1172
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,159
but they're both full game, so all your books should

1173
00:59:57,159 --> 01:00:00,559
allow that, you know. I don't think there's any restrictions

1174
01:00:00,559 --> 01:00:03,000
on parlaying full game side.

1175
01:00:02,679 --> 01:00:03,719
Speaker 2: With the total.

1176
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: So we are going to go Mets, which I think

1177
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:11,400
is like minus one forty now something like that under.

1178
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:13,760
So we get the Mets and then the under nine

1179
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,800
and a half in the same game. So Padres, Mets,

1180
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,519
I'm sorry, under nine, right, Brian, under nine? Okay, So

1181
01:00:20,559 --> 01:00:23,199
Brian's on the undernine Mets, Padres, I'm on the Mets

1182
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,719
money line, and then hopefully we can get it done

1183
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:29,280
early and then we're just chilling into Yankees money line

1184
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,039
later tonight for Tokyo Brandon. That parlay plays plus plus

1185
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:37,239
three ninety. That is the parlay of the day. It's

1186
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,880

1190
01:00:49,719 --> 01:00:51,880
right after this show, I'm putting my laptop in my

1191
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,320
bag and driving back to Arizona, so I will be

1192
01:00:55,039 --> 01:00:56,840
listening to some of the games on the five hour

1193
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,719

1196
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,719
Speaker 1: Sorry to interrupt this, No, that's okay. Safe travels there.

1197
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,800
As I've said before, it is a terrifying drive. Beautiful drive,

1198
01:01:13,239 --> 01:01:15,480
but very scary when you were driving through the desert

1199
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:19,360
for two hours with basically no cell service. No, Yeah,

1200
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,800
it's a tractor trailers going eighty coming down a hill

1201
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:23,679
on a two lane road.

1202
01:01:23,679 --> 01:01:26,719
Speaker 2: It's a it's quite the drive, but the sceneries.

1203
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 4: This close to your car going the opposite way.

1204
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's.

1205
01:01:31,199 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 3: Sure beautiful.

1206
01:01:33,519 --> 01:01:37,519
Speaker 1: So safe travels to TV, back to Arizona, and we'll

1207
01:01:37,519 --> 01:01:39,840
be back tomorrow nine am to close out the week.

1208
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,719
Hopefully a little bit richer after we hit this parlay,

1209
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:44,760
but either way, we'll see you nine am.

1210
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:46,679
Speaker 2: Good luck today everyone,
