Speaker 1: March madness, the last four days in the books. We
move on one NHL game tonight, a whole slate of NBA.
I'm Lawrence Presman. You're watching the best betting show ever.
Hit the like button, subscribe to our channel. Joe and
Aary and Brian power with us, and let's start right
off the bat with you. Bri, how was your college madness?
How was the last four days?
Speaker 2: We eked out a winning record?
Speaker 3: Feels like it was, you know, take a big body blow,
land one back on the books, six and five.
Speaker 2: Overall, I was very happy. At least you guys know that.
Speaker 3: I take it as a sense of personal pride to
be on the big upset always. I did have Iowa
yesterday against Florida. That was a nice way to close
the weekend. Lost my five percent, which sucked obviously on Friday.
Take a winning week considering how the month had started
so and looking forward to this sweet sixteen, which you know,
I know everyone complains about no upsets, but this is
gonna be a great sixteen present Joe that we've got
coming in the beginnings.
Speaker 1: Duran area, how did you make out this weekend?
Speaker 4: Well, President, tournament has gone great. Twelve and six up
twelve units here since Thursday in March Madness. Doing great
in the NIT as well. But of course we lost
our five percent last night because I don't even know
what the hell Texas Tech was doing there.
Speaker 5: That was outstanding.
Speaker 4: But when you let a team grab every friggin rebound
on the mankind and they shoot ninety percent from three,
I guess you're gonna have a long day. But it's
been a very profitable NIT and March Madness here, so
I will take that in the long run, because ultimately
that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1: I too had a winning start, barely my five percent
was what carried me over the top. Bri, you don't
define Iowa over Florida's an upset because I know you
said there were no upsets, so that's not an upset
for you.
Speaker 3: No, I said that was I generally speaking, there were
no upsets, but no I had I had Iowa yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was I mean.
Speaker 3: But before that, I mean, obviously, all if you went
on social media, all everyone was saying was, oh, there's
no upsets all.
Speaker 2: What happened to the upsets? All everyone was doing for
three days?
Speaker 3: We finally did get one, though, obviously, like you said
late Sunday, and I was glad I was on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, big one, nice said, nice call, guys, let's get
into making some money.
Speaker 4: That's not I mean again the favorites thirty nine and
nine straight up and twenty seven and nineteen against the number.
It's been as chalky a tournament, just like it was
last year. The idea and I don't think there's a
mid major left. Is there so much for the Cinderella alive?
And while because yeah, no, it's just the big boys
left ready to roll now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all Power five conference teams in the Sweet sixteen, Joe,
not a single team outside the Power five conferences. I
discussed it actually in the Morning Wager. Can I throw
you guys some talking points? Actually, obviously, I think look
nil on the transfer portal obviously have contributed to the
lack of upsets, But I think it's it's kind of
a lazy answer just to say that's all it is.
The bottom line is and we had talked about this
on the show. I know I talked about in a
Morning Wager was in on. I think I brought it
up here as well. On the less there were a
lot of upsets at the mid major level in the
conference tournament, so we were not necessarily getting the best
of the best from the mid majors. As a matter
of fact, there were only two teams guys, two mid majors,
I should say that could say they were regular season
champions of their league and were in the NCAA Tournament
last year. Those were high Point and Troy high Point
was the only mid major, the only to win as.
Speaker 2: A matter of fact, in the first round.
Speaker 3: And then something I retweeted yesterday is the Committee's just
better with seeding now, the metrics that are at their disposal, Joe.
They remember we used to have twelve seeds favored over
fives and eleven seeds over sixes, and we would just
rub our hands together and say, oh yeah, the public's
gonna fall for this, and they're gonna take the higher
seed team.
Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to see that very much anymore.
You see these teams correctly.
Speaker 4: We're just never going you know, every maybe now in
a blue moon, you'll get a Sweet sixteen from a
mid major, but those the likelihood I think of that
happening now with how top heavy conferences are, and when
you know money listen just ask Kentucky. Money is not
buying you a championship. That's twenty two million dollars pissed
right down the drain there and you get bounced out
by a team that didn't even have their best player
available yesterday. But for the most part, the teams that remain,
if you looked in the books, I would bet prays
that those are probably the sixteen top nil funded teams
in the country here, and that reality is not going
anywhere time soon. Oh it's mine time. We're now we're miming.
I don't, well, there we go.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't have an issue with it.
Speaker 5: So it is what it is.
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think the goal should be to create
parody between five hundred teams. I think the goals should
be to get these.
Speaker 5: After the holiday points.
Speaker 1: Yep, solid, I'm totally good with that. Any early go ahead, Brian,
what did you want to say?
Speaker 5: Say?
Speaker 3: It's interesting we did get for an eighteenth consecutive year
a double digit seed in the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 2: But hold on, hold on, Joe, I'm getting there. I'm
gonna all together. Third year, thirty year in a row.
Speaker 3: It's only one double digit seed in the Sweet sixteen,
and third year in a row. That double digit seed.
Joe is from where a power five conference Arkansas last year,
NC State two years ago. So guys, if you are
looking file this away for twenty twenty seven and beyond.
If you are looking for that double digit seed to
make a run of the Sweet sixteen, look at the
first four. Look at a power five team that is
a double digit seed as opposed to the mid majors.
I think that is going to be the way of
the future.
Speaker 4: Shout out mount bless too, by the way, for once
again being terrible.
Speaker 5: Yes, Mountain West, shout out to them.
Speaker 3: He still only had one, and he still only had
We still only had one this year, though, Joe, because
like I mean, how many times in the last ten
to twenty years we're oh, this is the year for
the Mountain West.
Speaker 2: What a deep league this is gonna be.
Speaker 3: They're going to show up And they always thought I
was glad they only got one team in. They only
deserved one team in.
Speaker 1: Great this year, Well, as let's do a quick look ahead.
We got some fairly a big favorites Perdue minus seven.
You got Arizona minus eight and a half, Duke minus
six and a half, miss Michigan minus.
Speaker 5: Ten and a half.
Speaker 1: Anything jump out to you, Brian Power on any any
of those games or any other game you see early.
Speaker 3: So Joe mentioned Alabama shooting last night. It was absolutely preposterous.
One would imagine it is going to come back down
earth next game. They had a game last year, Joe,
correct me if I'm wrong when they beat EYU. I
think that they shot the lights out and next game
came back down to Earth.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to look that up. I'm just going
off the top of my head as I think about it.
Speaker 3: But I like Michigan's path to the final four. Right now,
you mentioned Iowa State thing without Jefferson, Joe, they're a
double digit favorite against Alabama and then and look president
Joe I said before the tournament. I liked Arizona. I
thought there's a lot of value on them to win
the national championship. But they might be laying too many
here to Arkansas, a very good Arkansas team. So that's
I guess my initial impression here the Sweet sixteen lines.
Speaker 4: Look at some of these totals, Prez too, well, you
see how somebody I mean, these are some and I
think maybe Saint John's and Duke might be the lowest
of them all when the game is said and done.
Speaker 1: One sixty seven and a half Arkansas Arizona.
Speaker 5: That's good.
Speaker 4: But look at these one thirty fives with Iowa Nebraska
and under one hundred and forty points. And I still
think Duke and Saint John's is going to be the
heavyweight fight of all heavyweight fights where that one is
going to be first one to sixty five wins. And
that's what that feels like. There, So a lot of
low totals I think coming in was the big initial look.
Speaker 5: I wonder how much lower some of these are going
to go.
Speaker 4: I mean Tennessee and Iowa State have both played at
faster paces this year, both have turnover. You know, Tennessee's
got a turnover problem. Is that number going to get
too low to a one.
Speaker 5: Thirty eight right now? One thirty eight and a half.
Speaker 4: So some of these totals are a little bit interesting
as well there bp.
Speaker 3: Yeah, something to up is a lot of times we
see not a lot, but a fair amount of times
we've seen the past some of these regional semifinals take
place in these big cavernous stadiums, Joe and Press. That's
not the case this year. It's every correct me if
I'm wrong, Joe. All of these Sweet sixteen venues are
NBA arena. Well, San Jose's an NHL arena, but you
get the drink right. You're looking at the Rockets Arena,
the San Jose Sharks Arena, where the Capitals and Wizards
play in DC, and then obviously the United Center is
where the Chicago Bulls play.
Speaker 5: MGM Grand Arena too. Huh. That's oh yeah, no, sorry,
that's that's gonna be the.
Speaker 2: Women's Crown, just the crown, the crown.
Speaker 4: But I'm looking forward, and we still got a couple
of uh, you know, we still got the Nit Press
as well, and some other randomness happening. So yeah, there's
still a lot of college basketball to be played here
coming up.
Speaker 1: N IT tomorrow, Telsa, wich A, US State, Saint Joe's,
Joseph's vers New Mexico.
Speaker 5: Let's keep the.
Speaker 1: Show moving, boys. I got a ski day ahead of
mere our Harlay of the day. There's only one NHL
game going, and I like the Ottawa Senators in a
regulation to get it done. Over the New York Rangers.
No NHL rundown today, only one game and that's the play, Brian,
what do you like?
Speaker 3: Let's go over to thirty one in Raptors Jazz. I
think the Raptors have a bounce back game offensively after
scoring only ninety eight last night and lost to Phoenix.
Utah Jazz have the worst defensive rating in the league. Guys,
But what else does Utah have besides the worst defensive
rating in the league. Well, they average one hundred and
twenty one points per game at home, which is second
most of the league. If they get anywhere, If Utah
gets anywhere close to their season average one hundred and
twenty one points per game, this one's flying over because
Utah is a double digit dog. So give me the
over there in Toronto and Utah. Little Canadian flavor for
you there.
Speaker 1: Pres Thanks, They're appreciated.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's good stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Why is Golden State a favorite over anybody is beyond me,
But they are tonight against Dallas in Dallas, and Dallas
has been a little feisty and I got no problem
backing him as a home dog here tonight because Golden
State they're hoping Steph Curry comes back for what reason.
I have no idea why Steph Curry would come back,
but he won't be back for this game, and feels
like maybe Dallas and company might have a shot at
the outright up.
Speaker 5: State if Golden State wins.
Speaker 4: By the way, this is going to be a shocker.
They're going to eliminate Dallas from playoff intention, which is amazing.
It took this long for Dallas to actually be ruled out.
That tells you how bad some of these teams really are.
That only eleven games left in the season and now
Dallas is actually officially eliminated from the postseason.
Speaker 1: I'm going out on a limit saying Dallas eliminated themselves
long time ago. Yeah, predictive markets. Bitcoin is up seventy thousand,
five hundred right now. We've had a a surge of
twenty six one hundred in the last twenty four hours.
Where are we going here, Joe? What are our numbers?
I say, up and over seventy thousand, and five hundred
and fifty.
Speaker 4: Forty one cents to the over there any chance we
get to over seventy thousand, eight hundred press.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're gonna have a nice I think
we're gonna have so momentum today. I think we get
I think we get over seventy one. But the official
bet is seventy thousand and five fifty.
Speaker 4: That's it, forty actually forty cents right now, you can
you can hop on in with that one there, PRESS,
so not a bad way to look at it, And
of course now would be a good time to take
a look at some of these future markets here PRESS
when it comes to, of course college basketball. These are
the updated numbers that we're in to Sweet sixteen, So BP,
Arizona is your favorite here the top trading in around
twenty two cents, Michigan right around the same price, Duke
eighteen cents, Houston eleven cents, and then you know, you
start getting into some of these interesting numbers with Illinois, Purdue,
Iowa State, yukon all single prices here obviously chalk with
Arizona and Michigan up at the top, but I don't know,
there seems and again, we don't need these teams to
actually win it all.
Speaker 5: We just need them to get to the.
Speaker 4: Final four and to the final there BP, and we're
gonna get a hell of a lot better price than
what we're seeing here right now.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, you look at the top of the market there. Joe,
going back to what I said earlier, I think Michigan,
when you compare just Arizona, Michigan, Duke, I think Michigan's
the best value of those three. You look at the
respective paths forward to the final four. I mean, Michigan's
a ten is a double digit favored over against over
Arkansas or Party against Alabama, and then they get the
winner of Tennessee Iowa State. I think that's demonstrably easier
than what is in front of Arizona and Duke. You
mentioned Duke the heavyweight fight with Saint John's. Then they
get the winner of Yukon Michigan State. Arizona's got a
very tough Sweet sixty matchup against Arkansas, and then they
would probably run into Purdue, Joe and the Elita. I
think if you look beyond those top three teams, I
think Purdue might be the best value of the bunch,
Like Perdue against Texas and the sweets to win.
Speaker 4: Seven cents, I mean, think about a VP if they
win two more games. Yeah, yet that seven cents is
going to be a whole looking a whole lot different
in that spot there. So by low and B first,
that's kind of the best way to look at it there.
Speaker 5: So I'm kind of with you.
Speaker 4: Listen, Iowa State might very well be getting back Jefferson.
Speaker 5: He swears he's.
Speaker 4: Going to be ready to play coming up this this
next game. You know, Iowa State is also an interesting
look here. You know, you get those kinds of single
digit prices six seven cents, and we only need them
to watch when another game or two here and you're
making money. That's what makes the predictive markets so much fun.
Is I don't need Iowa State to win any I
just need to win another game, and we're gonna make
money there. Mine time we're back to Miami.
Speaker 1: Sorry, guys, my foot I got so much going on here.
I was gonna point that out too, Joe. But out
of the top grouping there.
Speaker 5: I like Duke.
Speaker 1: I think Duke has some value there, and and I
and and look, any one of those favorites get through,
and they're all you're gonna make my mon one of
them exactly mean literally, you know you look at these
double digits. You know you've got Michigan at minus ten
and a half. Well, if they get through that, you
made money.
Speaker 4: Yes, so yeah, they're all the biggest favorites, even I mean,
Duke isn't that big a favorite, but the I mean
al Arizona and Michigan are certainly. But again, we just
need them to win. I mean winning you're in right,
what side of the bracket is Duke on there? Bp
they're on the They're on the east side there, right
on their they're on the left side.
Speaker 1: Rather, I mean, Joe, look at Joe. Look at Purdue here.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 1: They may be Texas and that seven is twenty.
Speaker 5: That's crazy. I mean, that's just absolutely crazy when you
think about it. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think there's some opportunities on this board here to
invest and get the hell out.
Speaker 1: It almost feels like if you take Yukon and Michigan State,
you're gonna make money just on whoever wins that game.
Speaker 4: Well, you've got Yukon is on the same side as
what Duke and Saint John's right, Yes, so's I'm kind
of with you on that side. I think that side
is interesting, right because Duke is going to take on
the Johnnies. Now, if Duke wins, Duke is likely I
think Yukon is going to be in the past, and
then you can bet both of those right now. And
I I I'm kind of with you. I think both
if they both win, I think you can cash out
on both Duke and Yukon here before you even get
to them playing one another on that side, unless I'm
missing another game in between.
Speaker 5: BP No.
Speaker 3: And you know a team that we have not brought
up that's on this list, and people may be staring
at his Houston Houston. Obviously it's not on campus, No,
but in Houston.
Speaker 2: It's in Houston. It's a hot skip and a jump.
Speaker 3: I know it's a tough matchup they have with Illinois
here in sixteen, but here's the thing.
Speaker 2: Houston, Illinois.
Speaker 3: All due respect to Nebraska and Iowa, I feel that Houston,
Illinois is the true regional final there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: Wever wins, it will be a big favorite the Elite.
Speaker 5: YEP, love it, guys, hit that hit that like button.
Speaker 1: Subscribed to our channel if you've never watched the show.
Every Monday, the three of Us, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
we have Art the Caesar joining us from the Westgate
Super Book, Joe and uh and Bri. Let's keep going, Brian,
Let's start with you.
Speaker 5: What do you have to promote?
Speaker 3: We have one NBA play up, great situation that one
underdog is in on Monday's slate, I mentioned yesterday we
capped a winning week in the n Cuba Tournament with
a nice outright win on Iowa. I think you know
we want to take the points here tonight in the
NBA asident Joe, but maybe we don't need them, so
it'll be a buzz slash BP. I'm on a thirty
nine and twenty NBA run by the way sixty six percent,
So that's where you.
Speaker 6: Go, Joe, I got yeah, go ahead, Joe, No, No,
well well done again. I got guys, I got nothing
business wise for today at one NBA play I'm passing
in the NHL, Joe and Airy, what do you got
going for the clients?
Speaker 4: Locked and loaded four percent, NBA top play up and
ready to roll here. I think I'm kind of in
the same ballpark with BP, because it is a very
much a barking dog situation here tonight, which I think
the NBA Tonight Press could see our fair share of
just that, a whole lot of barking dogs so keep
an eye on that one, guys, available over at wager.
Speaker 5: Talk dot com.
Speaker 4: And I already I'm already locked into two sweet sixteen
plays that you can also get over at wager talk
dot com.
Speaker 5: Right live on air.
Speaker 1: You want to handle the rest, no NHL rundown, you
hang out with Joe to the NBA rundown and MLB
Opening Day and all the hell out of here.
Speaker 5: Look at that.
Speaker 2: I never know what's going to happen on this show. Okay,
all right, all right, Joe, you and.
Speaker 4: Me, all right, so get him. Let's just get him
the hell out of here. BP, So we are good
to go. We you and I will run down each
of these games here in the NBA.
Speaker 5: I'll throw them at you.
Speaker 4: And you tell me whether or not you want to lady,
four touchdowns with some of these spreads, which are just
absolutely absurd, I'm laughing.
Speaker 2: Was that was that a choice?
Speaker 5: Or was like, yeah, that's correct.
Speaker 4: You have no choice here at this point, so you
just yeah, you just stay right there, BP, and we'll
get a going there for it. So all right, you're
ready to come on? Here we go, Here we go,
come on, let's go NBA rundown. How about Atlanta and Memphis. Anyway,
Memphis keeps this thing close. It feels like an over
at two forty one though, any which way you cut it,
how about you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the way the markets. I don't want to
lay fourteen with Atlanta. This is a sneazy pass.
Speaker 2: I keep waiting. I keep waiting for Atlanta to stubb.
Speaker 5: It's toll.
Speaker 2: They lost that one game to Houston. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean the Hawk actually going to cool off. It's
the Hawks, for God's sake. Mark Zo hates the Hawk.
Speaker 5: I agree.
Speaker 4: The Lakers in Detroit the only other game of interest here. No,
Luca is not suspended after his sixteenth you know technical there,
but they're red hot? Are we stepping in front of
a Lakers team here tonight? This also feels like maybe
we get a bit of an under in this spot.
Detroit got to show me they can beat a West
Coast team before I start betting on them, especially without Cad.
Speaker 5: What do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get no Kate Cunningham for the Pistons, but
they are ten and two. Ats Joe as a dog
this year, Zenno and I did make the case in
the morning wager. We liked to it would be Pistons
are passed. I'm not a believer in the Lakers. They're
the sixth best team in the Western Conference.
Speaker 4: Could be a mirage, but anytime you got luka, you
got a shot. Indiana Orlando Orlando is terrible. Indiana is
about to lose what sixteen straight? I think they've lost
or this is going to be sixteen awful there? But
can we really trust Orlando win by double digits?
Speaker 5: No? I did.
Speaker 2: It's the same handicap as Atlanta, Memphis.
Speaker 5: No thank you?
Speaker 3: Where I have I mean, you have to ask yourself. Guys,
these teams that are just rotting corpses, No thank you.
Speaker 2: I don't want to bet Indiana.
Speaker 5: No, they're awful there.
Speaker 4: Oklahoma City and Philadelphia sixteen. I have no idea who's
playing for Philadelphia, so any Deers it won't be embi'd
and we won't see Maxie until the postseason.
Speaker 5: So what, I don't know. What do you do here?
Speaker 3: Of all those teams scrambling between five and ten in
the East, JOW Philadelphia is clearly the worst in my opinion.
This is again though it's very similar to Memphis, Atlanta, Indiana, Orlando.
I'm not going to take a corpse, but I don't
want to lay this many points either.
Speaker 4: Chicago's got a big rest advantage over Houston. I don't
know if that matters Houston laying eight. I do not
trust Houston. Chicago in clear tank mode, but I still
don't trust Houston a lay that kind of number.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 3: Houston the fewest double digit wins among the contenders in
the West. Joe, and you mentioned the rest edge, just
to drive that point home for those who may not have,
you know, a matchup page opener, don't know it. The
Bulls have had three days off, the Rockets are playing
their third game in four nights.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 2: You can only take the dog there.
Speaker 4: No, all right, Well, you talked to Utah, Toronto, I
talk Golden State, Dallas. Nobody really cares about Brooklyn or Portland.
So that leaves us the Clippers taking on Milwaukee here.
A lot of question marks on who's playing who's not.
Kawhi is still questionable. Mtharne is still out, but it
looks like Collins is in. So for the most part,
as long as Darius Garland is in for the Clippers here,
I don't think they'll have a problem. But it does
feel the market is heading to the under here. I'd
be weary of an under with how fast the Clippers
are playing now with this new look.
Speaker 3: Yeah again, I hate to sell like a broken record,
but look, guys, you don't have to play every game.
Speaker 2: It's it's the NBA and Monday.
Speaker 3: You've just been sitting on your couch watching again CBAA
for four streat days.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 3: This is just like all those other games. It's a
double digit favorite that he would assume.
Speaker 5: Is going to work.
Speaker 2: Who wants to lay this kind of numb.
Speaker 5: I agree nobody.
Speaker 4: By the way, just in Jalen Suggs out tonight four
or Lando. I don't know if that changes anything here,
but they're still I'm still not laying twelve and a
half for them in any way.
Speaker 3: Shape were playing the Pacers, I'm not playing the Pacers.
Speaker 4: And oh Miami, and we forgot Miami San Antonio. By
the way, tonight was the other big game. Norm Pal
has just been upgraded and so is Stephen Castle, so
it looks like both teams will have everybody available to him.
Miami trying to stay out of that playing game, and
that total highest on a board two forty two and
a half, and that may not be high enough there, BP.
Speaker 3: Miami the highest scoring home team in the NBA. Earlier
I mentioned Utah's number two, Miami is the only one
ahead of them. They average one hundred and twenty four
points per game at home.
Speaker 4: Show unbelievable there, all right, BP, So the pres left
us with I don't know what the hell he left
us with, but I understand we for that. We also
have Major League Baseball Opening Day coming up here on Wednesday,
believe it or not. Hope you have your Netflix account
setting ready to go, because that's the only way you're
gonna be able to watch the game. But the Yankees
are in San Francisco taking on the Giants, freed against Web,
and you'd be hard pressed getting me to do anything,
especially early on, especially in a ball park. Then look
at anything. I'm on the under in the first five.
I don't give a rip if you can get a four.
I don't trust the offenses. I certainly don't trust the
offense of the Giants, and I do think both pitchers
will be pumped up on a Wednesday to get the
season going. It's San Francisco to Bay Area at night.
Marine Layer under only for me there bp what were
you thinking on this opening night of baseball?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's that old adage pitchers are always ahead of
the hitters this time of year, Joe, because you brought
up the first five under, and I'm looking to see
if we have a number on that yet it.
Speaker 5: Was I believe, was it not?
Speaker 3: Go?
Speaker 5: We have fun first half? Five? If you can believe that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, that's and it's just all high. Hell,
four and a half is what we're looking at.
Speaker 2: Sure, why not?
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I look, the public's gonna be
all over the Yankees at this short price, obviously, you know,
I'm sure, But yeah, you take the first five under, Joe,
Aaron Boone's poor decision making, then kind of out of
the equation. I agree, assume Freed is going to go
all five.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't know what the bullpen of the
Yankees is.
Speaker 4: I mean, we still got some question marks there, but
we know that Devin Williams is now gone, so is
Weaver is gone, which makes well that makes what Bednard there?
I guess the closer and you got Cruise, you got Doval,
the former Giant, and I want nothing to do with
any of those guys. So I'll take my chances with
the lefty free keeping it in the ballpark. And Logan
Web already pitched for Team USA. He's already he's already
been in competitive games and ready to go here. So
I got no problem looking at the under in that one.
Speaker 5: It should be.
Speaker 4: And by the way, telefolks, what you got major League Baseball?
Where are you looking? You got any win totals? You
got anything ready to go? When do you start diving
into Major League Baseball?
Speaker 5: VP?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been busy diving into it already obviously, of
course Opening Day Wednesday night, and then a lot of
teams get in action Thursday and Friday. Rob Man for
the right Sweet sixteen. But anyway, yeah, Joe, you talk.
I was hoping you're gonna ask you about futures and whatnot.
I like that place on the Tigers is still too
short to win the Central.
Speaker 5: I agree.
Speaker 3: Winning the Central if it's not the Tigers, I mean,
barring some sort of catastrophic injury in the Motor City. Similarly,
Seattle's winning the AL West, and I think the New
York Mets are going to win the eight NL East
sleeper teams potentially in the American League, Tampa Bay over
their win total, Kansas City over their win total, Texas
over their win total.
Speaker 2: I think at least two of those three are hit, Joe.
Speaker 4: I got a very interesting one too, and I'm glad
you brought that up, BP, and let me see if
I can find it quick, because you just reminded me
of one which I thought was hysterical in the prediction markets.
They had a one of the markets is who will
have the longest losing streak this season? And all the
prices were are you ready to this? For the Nats,
for the Rockies, and for the White Sox, and every
one of them was around ten to fourteen cents. As
sure as I'm sitting here, it's going to be one
of those three teams that is going to have the
longest losing right, And I'd be careful with Colorado, But boy,
the Nats are not a good team this year at all.
It feels like one of those three is going to
have that longest losing She's gonna be hard for them
to rack up a whole lot of consecutive wins.
Speaker 5: Feels like a lot more losses.
Speaker 2: You know what, I don't think it'll be the White Sox.
I think I have some light.
Speaker 3: I think they've got some life in them in the division.
Let me tell you something. One of their I said
that I love the Tigers win that division, and I
kind of like the Royals. Over two teams that I
think could be worse than anticipated, maybe a lot worse,
are the Guardians and the Twins for a team, they've
got a tough ownership situation.
Speaker 2: Joe, you talk about a team that could go on
a long losing streak.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if Minnesota was a team that
threw in the towel at the trade deadline and maybe
just completely crater. Remember what they did at the deadline
last years, gave away everybody. Yeah, so I mean that
a bad baseball team in the Twin Cities.
Speaker 5: Yes, I agree.
Speaker 4: And also I think Milwaukee to miss the playoffs is
not a bad look either, because I don't know what
they're doing.
Speaker 5: Is I don't know.
Speaker 3: Do we like Pittsburgh? Everybody in their mother likes Pittsburgh
overs here? Is that too trendy for you?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 5: Way too? It's Pittsburgh people.
Speaker 4: They've got one of the they got the future shortstop
of Major League Baseball. And they won't even play it
because he hit a buck seventy one. But yet of
the seven hits, four they're still looking for the ball.
The kid is an absolute stud. He's only nineteen. But
at this point, what do you what are you playing for? Pittsburgh?
Bring the kid up, let them at beat an opening days, shortstop,
sell some jerseys and be on with it here. But
it's way too trendy BP to your point right now,
the love for pitt They make a couple of trades
and signings, and now all of a sudden, Pittsburgh's making
a run run at what? What are they making a
run at? Aute? They're gonna win what game? Every what?
Speaker 5: Five days? Well, what's gonna happen here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul Skeins doesn't pitch every day. It's I'll tell you,
it's a fun ballpark to go to. They let you
walk around, the drink around it. That's always a good times.
Speaker 2: I'll recommend.
Speaker 3: I'll recommend going to PNC Park, But I got good
conscience recommend pirates overs right now. I think it's just
a little bit too trendy, you know, the National League guy,
so so, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Very strange.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm sure Zeno on the the Morning Wager,
I am sure he's figuring out wades to fade the
Atlanta braves.
Speaker 5: Am I close?
Speaker 3: I mean you and I may be called into the
rotation sometime soon there that is unodvolvable.
Speaker 2: What has happening is to start a rotation?
Speaker 3: It's a uh San Francisco's forty nine ers situation. Start
your conspiracy theories. Is there were the trent? What is
that a transmitter or something?
Speaker 5: Look?
Speaker 2: Start looking? That's insane. How any injuries that rotation has?
Speaker 4: And it's March, yeah, and it's only March, and you
know Akuon is getting her by the time we get
to May first, So it's just par for the course
with they about have burned some sage or something in Atlanta.
But it's good to have baseball back and I'm looking
very forward to it their BP. So you and Zeno

pull here. I didn't know that was an option that
you could just say peace out to the show.
Speaker 5: You did you know?
Speaker 4: Yes, apparently so, But that's okay bybe because that we
just gave the people way more information here in the
last ten minutes than anything that they experienced with the
PRES on camera.
Speaker 5: So pleasure of people.
Speaker 4: And I can't even believe I'm complimenting you, but it
takes the PRES for me to figure out how to
compliment you.
Speaker 5: It's amazing, are you okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's well, okay.
Speaker 5: I am.
