1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: All right, Monday morning time for Total bases. Hope everyone

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,240
had a great weekend. I know Brian Leonards weekend started

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,400
off really good because on Friday his five percent one

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,079
with ease with the Rays over My weekend was going

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,440
great until Carlos Mendoza managed his team to another loss.

6
00:00:20,719 --> 00:00:23,440
But all in all, a good weekend, uh, TV. I

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,640
hope yours was good as well. And it's Monday morning,

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,839
so it's a time to talk, basis, how was your weekend? TV?

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good. It was good, plus one hundred

10
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:35,960
and five on the season, so I'm doubled the bankroll,

11
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:43,000
feeling good and uh ready for some I like some

12
00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:46,439
of the ooh what is Oh.

13
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, it's certainly. Uh it's certainly Monday because

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,640
the behind the scenes said, we just got to pop

15
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:54,560
up here. But I think we're good. I think, uh,

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,719
some one of the producers will jump in and fix that.

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,600
I'm sure we should be streaming everywhere out right now.

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,239
So I see people in the chat. I'm assuming you

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,840
guys can hear us. So I think we're just gonna

20
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:09,719
We're just gonna get started. And I want to start

21
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:13,359
with with Phillies Mets because not only is it a

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,560
massive series in the NL East, but Brian Leonard, do

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,200
the Phillies have to worry now? Obviously, they find out

24
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:24,439
over the weekend that the their Cy Young Award winning

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,799
pitcher is done for the season in Zach Wheeling, And

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,359
up until yesterday the Mets were looking like they were

27
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:32,159
gonna make up some ground and did make up some

28
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:35,359
ground over the last couple of days. Now they have

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,280
a chance to really make up some ground head to

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,480
head city field, massive series in the NL East, you know,

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,719
talk about that and how you're seeing this series.

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, before we get started, I wanted to point out,

33
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:53,840
at least for myself, when you have teams that have

34
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:56,519
already clinched or pretty much cleansed the playoffs. And that's

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,799
what we're at right now. There's six teams in the

36
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:03,239
six teams in the National League that basically have clinched

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,200
the playoffs. The closest team to making the playoffs fit's

38
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:10,240
out of it is Kansas City at seventeen percent. So

39
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:14,360
while you say it's a massive, massive series, it may

40
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:17,039
be important to the fans, it's not as important to

41
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,840
the players. The Phillies with a seven game lead and

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,360
where they got so they got thirty two games left

43
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,919
in the season. Either way, these two teams are going

44
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,719
to be in the playoffs unless the Mets really fall apart.

45
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: Bryan, you're not giving the Reds. You're not giving the

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,840
Reds a chance to catch the Mets.

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,879
Speaker 3: According to ESPN, the Reds have a twelve percent chance

48
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:46,800
and the eighty six, So it's realistically, there's always a chance.

49
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,199
There was a chance I could have had sex with

50
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:52,400
Pamela Anderson back in the day, but I wouldn't have

51
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,960
bet on it. But there's always a chance. But what

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,039
I wanted to point out was since these teams know

53
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,360
they're going to be in the playoffs, the games don't

54
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,240
mean as much and there's going to be good spots

55
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,039
to be able to bet against these teams because normally

56
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,800
you find at the end of the season the teams

57
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,199
that need to win get jacked up and they'll they

58
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:18,400
need to win to win, maybe to win the division

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,840
or clinch this or that. They don't need to win

60
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,560
to make the playoffs, and that's really the goal for

61
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:24,080
these teams. So we'll be able to make some money

62
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,240
on some good looking underdogs going forward. With this game,

63
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,400
Philadelphia and the Mets. Yes, the loss of Wheeler is

64
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:32,759
definitely going to hurt. Feel terrible for the guy. This

65
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,120
might have been the year that he was going to

66
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:37,639
win the Cy Young finally and now he won't. It

67
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,280
look like Skins is going to have that going right

68
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,759
there in the NL. So, but Philadelphia's got some good

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,759
pitchers on this team, and they've got some guys in

70
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,680
the minors that that could be called up. But you

71
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,800
know we've got Sanchez going today. I left you against Lenga.

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,080
Sanchez is about a one to one to twenty seven

73
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:02,560
favorite total of eight. Sanga's really struggled. He came out

74
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:05,919
this year twice, coming out beginning of the season looked good,

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,439
and I came back from injury looked good, and then

76
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,319
he's struggled since then. That's something to be concerned about,

77
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:16,000
is he just has not pitched very well. Christopher Sanchez

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,240
has been everything. He's another guy that's in the cy

79
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,360
Young category here, he's probably second or third, but he

80
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:25,040
comes in with a two point four to six ERA,

81
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,959
three point oh eight expected, one point one oh whip.

82
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,199
He's been just been terrificed. Everything's exa velosses only in

83
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,800
the fifty first percent talle hard a rate forty seventh,

84
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,240
but everything else is in the red. He's had a

85
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:41,240
terrific season despite only throwing three different pitchers. Of the sinker,

86
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,199
of the change and the slider doesn't even throw your

87
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,439
traditional four seamer, and that really helps him code SINGA.

88
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:51,319
He does still have that era at two point five eight,

89
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:54,959
but it's expected as three point eight eight. It's he's

90
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:56,920
thrown one hundred and four innings. So to get a

91
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,800
hundred innings into the season and be off one point

92
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:04,120
three on expected the ra Conpardy regular shows you that

93
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,399
he's been very lucky and he's a guy that we

94
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:10,279
can competently bet against. If you take a look at

95
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,399
his stack gas page, his walk grade is only in

96
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:17,040
the eleventh percentile. He's walking eleven point four percent of

97
00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:21,040
batters he faces. That's always been a concern. But his

98
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,399
grandbol is pretty good and it's seventy fifth percentile, but

99
00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:28,079
nothing's really excellent out there. He does have seven pitches

100
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:31,279
that he does use anywhere from two to thirty one percent,

101
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:34,279
so he's a veteran guy that could find a way

102
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,319
to win. But from a starting pitcher standpoint, I think

103
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:40,519
Philadelphi's got a really nice edge here, which is why

104
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,240
they're favored. And the Mets they've come out and played

105
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,000
a couple of good games and then they find other

106
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,120
ways to lose. I'm still not sold on the Mets.

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,839
They're a team that's been very disappointing to me. You

108
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,279
would think with the players they have, the bullpen that

109
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,439
they've developed, that they would be a team that you

110
00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:01,240
would think is going to be one of the leaders

111
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,480
for the World Series futures. I don't see it at

112
00:06:04,519 --> 00:06:07,040
this point. I think Philadelphia is a better team, and

113
00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:10,519
while I hate going against a good home team like

114
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,240
the match, Philadelphia would be the way I would go

115
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:15,120
in this game, but I'm not going to get involved

116
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,519
with it. The lines a little bit higher than what

117
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,079
I wanted.

118
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: So many of you might not know this, but wayger

119
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:26,560
Talk as of today is eleven years old and they're

120
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,720
doing a special. You can get any of our packages

121
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,680
up today for eleven bucks. So I already have mine up.

122
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:36,319
I'm sure my colleagues here either will or already do,

123
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:39,399
along with free plays as well. So go to our

124
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,399
page down there in the scroller, or just go to

125
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:46,399
wayjertalk dot com and see what everyone's offering regarding this game.

126
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,920
The automatic knee jerk reaction is say, oh, Phillies. But

127
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,040
like Brian said, take the pedal off the gas a

128
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,680
little bit. Managers. You know, the players who are on

129
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,560
the field, they're balling out one hundred percent, whether they're

130
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,759
in the playoffs or not. But what makes the difference

131
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,879
is managers will hold people back or take pictures out

132
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,319
early to prepare for the postseason if they're already in,

133
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:14,639
like the Phillies. So don't expect Phillies starters to go

134
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,079
seven innings at all for the rest of the season.

135
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,079
I wouldn't expect it. But teams that are, you know,

136
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,720
scratching tooth and nail to try to get into the playoffs,

137
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,199
like the Mets. Well, the Mets are probably in the playoffs,

138
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,199
but they're fighting for playoff position. They're fighting to be

139
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:35,040
in good form for the playoffs. Senga has really good

140
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,399
numbers against these Phillies, and in his history he's granted

141
00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:40,560
he's having a bit of an off season right now,

142
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,399
but he's got a one to twenty two average against

143
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:46,519
in a three ninety three ops against in forty nine

144
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,360
at bats. So three ninety three you rarely see that.

145
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,000
You know, even if it's five hundred, I'd be impressed,

146
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:58,360
but three ninety three is really impressive. I think we're

147
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,720
looking at it under here, which is hard to say

148
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:04,120
because currently I have the Mets ranked two in Major

149
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,399
League Baseball, and I have in hitting, and I have

150
00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:10,199
the Phillies ranked three, and Sanga does have a walk problem,

151
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:12,199
and he's had this problem since he was in Japan

152
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,519
when he pitched for SoftBank. Uh, he's one of those

153
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,399
flame flame flamethrowers. And those flamethrowers, man, they're hard to hit,

154
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,120
but they're also hard to locate for the pitcher because

155
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:29,000
they're throwing. It's so damn hard. So yeah, uh, he

156
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,720
does have a walk problem, but he has great numbers

157
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:34,559
against the Phillies. I'm a little torn. My first inclination

158
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,320
would be an under, but we've got the number two

159
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,159
and number three hitting teams, so I'm a little apprehensive

160
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,799
to take an under against these, So probably not going

161
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,279
to play it.

162
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:49,399
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta say, I'm very surprised at Brian,

163
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,879
what what was the exact where did you get those

164
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,000
numbers on teams to make the playoffs with the Reds

165
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,080
and the Mets on ESPN.

166
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: If you break it down by the MLBS standings, it's

167
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:08,639
got the percentage of the making the playoffs, it's got

168
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,240
right now, the Phillies are ninety nine point nine percent

169
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:14,440
to make the playoffs. The Mets are at eighty six

170
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,720
point three. If you take a look at games behind,

171
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:22,360
the Mets head games over five hundred right now and

172
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,320
the Reds are five games over five hundred. But I

173
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,240
believe the Reds have a much tougher schedule the remainder

174
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:34,519
of the season than the Mets do, so keeping that's

175
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,039
that's how they figure that out.

176
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to I strongly disagree with that. It's ESPN.

177
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,679
So the fact that it's just garbage beans, you know,

178
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,200
is not surprising to me. But listen, how like the

179
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,039
I thought, you know, Keith the Mets booth on the

180
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,399
game yesterday was talking about how difficult their upcoming schedule

181
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,600
is and the fact that they only have a game

182
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,279
and a half lead and now they're in So like

183
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,000
the way I look at this, this is a huge

184
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,000
series for the Mets. It's at home, it's you know,

185
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,320
the fan base is going to lose their minds if

186
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,600
they don't play well against the Phillies, and I forget

187
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:10,519
getting back into the division. I think that's a little

188
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:13,120
bit of a pipe dream at seven games out. I

189
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:15,919
actually misspoke they lost ground the last two days because

190
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:18,320
the Phillies won the last two days. But look at

191
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,559
the Mets. I mean, they played the Phillies this week.

192
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,799
Going into September, at Detroit, at Cincinnati, at Philadelphia, that's

193
00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:29,279
a road trip for the Mets to start September at

194
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,399
Tigers at Red's, which will be massive head to head

195
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,559
games for both of those teams, and then at Philly

196
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,840
for four. Then they come home to the Rangers, who

197
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,080
are still trying to you know, win, but I think

198
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:46,480
they'll be out by then Padres, so like Rangers, Padres

199
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,679
Nationals should be a winnable series. Then they go to

200
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,840
the Cups. That's a I mean, that's like a really

201
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,639
tough schedule. I guess the reason I bring it up

202
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,399
is I still think that these are very important games

203
00:10:57,399 --> 00:10:59,840
for the Mets. And you know, I came into the

204
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,159
weekend with the mindset that I was just gonna kind

205
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,240
of ride the Mets till they lost big win on Friday,

206
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:10,279
big win on Saturday, and then like Super disappointing result yesterday,

207
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:13,200
because I feel like you kind of said this on Friday.

208
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,200
Mendoza not a great in game manager, and he managed

209
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,159
them to a loss yesterday. Unfortunately, left David Peterson in

210
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,200
too long. Some of the choices he made with the

211
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,879
relief pitching I didn't necessarily agree with. And if you

212
00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:26,559
miss the game, it was a two and uping lead

213
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,559
for the Mets. Peterson left in too long, gives up

214
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,559
the hit that makes it two to two, and then

215
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:34,919
they kind of, you know, I think Soto pitched themselves

216
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,120
into a two out jam and he gave up the

217
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,559
hit in the in the eighth inning, and then they

218
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,120
had a little rally in the ninth that kind of

219
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,399
fizzled out, which kind of is like, I just I

220
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,840
didn't love how that unfolded for them. That being said,

221
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:53,639
I still think Mets as an underdog here makes some sense.

222
00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:57,159
Phillies used a lot of bullpen this weekend, and I

223
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,679
do think we get better from Senga at some point,

224
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,440
But I just have to be I gotta say, I

225
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,279
don't know. I don't know that I can say that

226
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:06,840
with enough conviction to like bet it. It's just I

227
00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:09,320
still think we're going to get a big effort from

228
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,679
the Mets at home here, and I think they're very

229
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,399
big games. And I don't think the Mets are in

230
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,879
the playoffs by any means. They have a lot of

231
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:15,279
work to do.

232
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,639
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Brian, Well, the teams that you mentioned they're

233
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,440
playing are all teams that are locked into the playoffs,

234
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,879
So there's not any any reason for those teams to

235
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,519
play their best players. It's like Brandon said, if they've

236
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,639
got a guy that gonna pull matter five innings, they're

237
00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:35,639
going to bring up some minor league guys. See what

238
00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:39,120
they've got out of that. So while it looks on

239
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,320
paper that it might be tough, you've got to keep

240
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,159
in mind at the end of the season, these teams

241
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,240
are not trying to win. They're trying to set themselves

242
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,799
up for the playoffs, get some get some rest, just

243
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,759
as just as Brandon said, So yeah, I think I

244
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:56,600
think the six teams in right now are in and

245
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,039
you know, everybody else is a long shot.

246
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: So I I and and it's a it's a good

247
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,480
point that if you if that's the sort of position

248
00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:07,120
you're gonna take, I feel like it makes the Mets

249
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,240
handicap that much stronger tonight because you know, and Sean

250
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,320
kind of pointed out, Senga's got good numbers against the Phillies,

251
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,360
Chris Christopher Santis is due for a little bit of regression.

252
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:20,240
Phillies burnt up some pen this weekend. And if they

253
00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:23,200
feel like they're just chilling and they're in, then why

254
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,840
would you not maybe look toward the Mets as an

255
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:26,840
underdog here. That's that's just kind of how I'm thinking

256
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,480
it out in my head. But it's a good discussion.

257
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:31,240
That was a that was a good discussion right there.

258
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 3: If you if you look at the xtually A get

259
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,879
pretty ra Sengo, that's due for the regression. So I

260
00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:41,519
look at numbers when it comes to that. And that's

261
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:43,159
that's just the way I hand it, Cap.

262
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,159
Speaker 1: And I don't disagree with that either, because I've just

263
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,960
just from watching games, and you know, Mets are They're

264
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,360
They're not my team, and they're not even the team

265
00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:53,399
I watch on a regular basis, but I I follow

266
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,320
the organization closely because I go to a lot of

267
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,360
their Triple A games just for something to do, and

268
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,559
I've watched a lot of s and Brian I just

269
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:04,840
the eye test suggests that he might get hit at

270
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,279
some point. It just it just doesn't has looked as

271
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,639
chrisp and so yeah, that's a I feel like we

272
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,559
kind of went deep in that one and it didn't

273
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,519
produce much of a of a pick, but I thought

274
00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:16,240
it was a good, good discussion to start.

275
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: We never know when we start these games, somebody might

276
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,279
say one thing and then all of a sudden, something

277
00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:22,159
triggers in your mind.

278
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: You know, let's go to Rick Reynolds. He's got he's

279
00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:28,000
got one that I'm interested in. Here, he says, took

280
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:30,919
Seattle minus one twenty five last night, like the spot

281
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:33,559
for them after winning Big, Yesterday will be their third

282
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:36,480
night in a row, facing a lefty which they're familiar with.

283
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,159
Excited to watch that series, Mariners still has some work

284
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,360
to do. I still think they're playing big games and

285
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:47,519
that this is an interesting series because you know, the

286
00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:50,279
Mariners and the Padres, like I still think are both

287
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:53,519
very much playing for different You know, they might both

288
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:56,759
be playoff teams, but I'm sure the Padres want to

289
00:14:56,799 --> 00:14:59,320
catch the Dodgers. There's no question the Mariners would like

290
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,879
to win that divisi And so big series kicks off

291
00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:06,279
in Seattle. Tonight JP Sears Bryce Miller. What do you

292
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,639
think about Rick's point, the fact that the Mariners is

293
00:15:08,679 --> 00:15:10,360
going to see another lefty here and can they get

294
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,159
the Sears.

295
00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:15,799
Speaker 3: I think that is an advantage, but also Seriars has

296
00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:18,559
played all these years for the Athletics and they're very

297
00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:21,360
familiar with them. Of course he's familiar with them also,

298
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,480
But I think when you see somebody's offense ager, that's

299
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,000
an advantage to the to the hitters series, the lefty

300
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:32,080
against Miller, the righty. Miller looked pretty good coming out

301
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:35,360
of the IL, so we'll see what we get out

302
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:37,519
of him. But I think the line's kind of cheap

303
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:39,759
here for Seattle. You're looking at him and basically at

304
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:45,159
one twenty five, one twenty five favorite San Diego with

305
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,240
the total is eight, just slightly to the under. And

306
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,360
San Diego is coming off of that big series with

307
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,000
the Dodgers, so now they're playing a team not even

308
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:57,559
in their not not only the division, but not even

309
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,840
in their league. There's an inter league game. I think

310
00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:04,399
that helps Seattle. Seattle, as you mentioned, still working on

311
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:08,879
making the playoffs. San Diego is very similar, but the

312
00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:11,960
games in the other league mean more and the home

313
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,600
team I think has a nice advantage in these in

314
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:17,679
EARLYGUE games when they started in EARLYAGUE action, that was

315
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,120
the case. I haven't seen the numbers lately. I don't

316
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,919
know if it's held up, but originally the teams in

317
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,679
the other league playing at home had the advantage in

318
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,799
this one. JP Sears comes in with a four point

319
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:33,240
ninety four ERA four point one five expected. He's been

320
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:37,039
better than what his ERA shows, but he's a career

321
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,600
four point four to nine, so he is what he is.

322
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,879
He's very good at not walking batters. He's in the

323
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:46,759
eighty fourth percentile and he walks six percent of batters

324
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,440
six a game, or excuse me, six percent, and his

325
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,200
ground ball rate is only in the second percentile. But Seattle,

326
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,200
unless you're the big dumper who he seems to hit

327
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,080
home runs for miles, this is overall not the greatest

328
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,000
home run part. But I would look to face series

329
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,759
a little bit here. Bryce Miller, he's had a down

330
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:11,160
season because of injuries. Five point eight seven ERA, five

331
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,839
point six three expected, one point five to one whip,

332
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:16,720
which has really been the problem. He's only throwing fifty

333
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,519
three innings because of injuries. I would tons of blue

334
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:24,599
on on this dast page. He's had a bad season,

335
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,960
but a lot of it has to do with injuries.

336
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
He throws seven different pitches. I think he'll as like success,

337
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:32,680
especially against a team that doesn't see him very often

338
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,680
in the National League. I think the number is a

339
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,880
little bit cheap here on Seattle. That would be the

340
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,240
side that I would look for, And I'm still thinking

341
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:41,880
about what I'm gonna use. I haven't put up my

342
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,359
eleven dollars play eleven dollars package yet today. I'll put

343
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,240
those up after we get done here, but Seattle is

344
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,519
pretty fair number for the host in this one.

345
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 2: Guys, go to the replay and leave a comment for us.

346
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,119
Whether you like us, hate us, think we stink, think

347
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,079
we're great, leave a comment. We read them all and

348
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,319
we respond to most of them. Brian's had several winning

349
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,839
days on a streak. Adam was the number one CAPA

350
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,640
in the last thirty days, and I'm number one in

351
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,359
twenty twenty five. You can think we're bad, but we're not.

352
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:20,839
We're actually pretty good. So check our pages out and

353
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:26,400
leave a comment. I think San Diego could be a

354
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,440
World Series team.

355
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,079
Speaker 1: They have.

356
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 2: At least one of the two best bullpens in MLB.

357
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,400
They have great talent on the lineup. I think adding

358
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:42,960
some of the guys they added at the trade deadline,

359
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:48,640
including Naylor, and I just think this team seems like

360
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,839
one of those teams of destiny. It was always the problem,

361
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,599
and can they get past the Dodgers. I think they can.

362
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,440
I think after this series with I think they're going

363
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:06,559
to be, uh pretty psyched up. And I just think

364
00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:09,119
they're the better team out of these guys. I don't think,

365
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,200
in any circumstance against any team in MLB should San

366
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,880
Diego be an underdog. In my opinion. Bryce Miller has

367
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,640
a great name, a great pedigree, but this year his

368
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,880
his whip is one five to one. He's not pitching

369
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,279
well and Sears is not pitching well either, like Brian mentioned,

370
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,200
but against these batters won sixteen at bats against. He's

371
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,680
got a one seventy two average against in a five

372
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,839
point fifty five OPS. Granted that's probably from about two

373
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:43,599
years ago when he was the stud in Oakland's rotation,

374
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,640
and he's not pitching quite that well this year. But

375
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,000
I think backed by this bullpen and these hitters, I

376
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:55,559
think plus money on San Diego is is is a blessing.

377
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 3: Actually you mentioned Taylor, Yes he was originally he did

378
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,400
go to San Diego. Is now a Seattle now.

379
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So who was it that I saw in their

380
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:06,920
lineup yesterday?

381
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: Uh?

382
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: They added someone at the trade deadline, which really.

383
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: They brought in O'Hearn from Baltimore.

384
00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:15,559
Speaker 2: Yes, probably that's who I was thinking.

385
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,039
Speaker 3: Sorry, yeah, for some reason.

386
00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:20,839
Speaker 1: But great edition.

387
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: You've got Machado, You've got Tatis, You've got I mean.

388
00:20:26,839 --> 00:20:30,279
Speaker 1: This is a talent just called Will Wagner up. I

389
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:32,319
think they grabbed him from the Blue Jays at the deadline.

390
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:35,839
You know who's you know who's had an unreal season,

391
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,759
Tokyo Brandon that for whatever reason they refuse to give

392
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:44,000
a chance is Jonathan Perlaza from Kate former Hanwa Eagle

393
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,119
is tearing the cover off the ball for El Paso,

394
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,160
and like, for whatever reason, he continues to get passed

395
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,960
over for an opportunity Like I don't I'm not quite

396
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,720
sure why, but but I liked.

397
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,039
Speaker 2: I like the move Seattle made as well though at

398
00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:01,240
the deadline. You know, I mean they that I think

399
00:21:01,319 --> 00:21:03,640
Suarez is finally coming around. I mean, he had a

400
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,640
bad game last night, but uh, Seattle's got a great

401
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,079
lineup too. But I don't think Sears is gonna get

402
00:21:10,079 --> 00:21:12,480
pounded today. I just don't have a feeling he's going

403
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:15,599
to so well, we'll see, we'll see who's right.

404
00:21:16,759 --> 00:21:20,559
Speaker 1: The chat actually is all over. Like Loriano has been insane.

405
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,359
I think he's got like a nine hundred ops late

406
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,920
addition that, yeah, yeah, I.

407
00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:28,519
Speaker 3: Mean continue to hit so with aptitude of guys.

408
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Lorianno has always been a guy that

409
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,640
you add because he's got a cannon for an arm.

410
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,640
He's a great defender. But if you're going to get

411
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,000
that kind of production out of him from an offensive standpoint,

412
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:43,519
that's that's incredible stuff. And yeah, like TV, I'm kind

413
00:21:43,519 --> 00:21:45,680
of with you. I'm a little bit always a little

414
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,359
bit hesitant to to fade the padres. I like this team.

415
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,519
I like you know they I think they're a very

416
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:54,599
complete team and contender for the most part. The thing

417
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,640
that I guess concerns me a little bit with them

418
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,359
is starting pitching. And I'm with Brian and it's not

419
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,519
something I gave enough thought to prior to coming on

420
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:05,880
the show. They have a huge sample size against Sears.

421
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,039
They've seen him so much that this is like probably

422
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:14,759
a favorable Yeah, but at some point, at some point,

423
00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:17,759
you see a guy enough and these are major league hitters,

424
00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:21,000
like they're they're probably you know, they're they're more likely

425
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:23,920
to get to them. In my opinion, like when you

426
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,640
have a big sample, even if the pitcher's dominated for

427
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,160
a while, I think at some point big league hitters

428
00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:31,799
can figure out. And we're talking about JP Sears, who's

429
00:22:31,799 --> 00:22:34,160
not a guy with like electric stuff. I mean it's

430
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,839
not like he's you know, he's really shutting down big

431
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,799
league lineups on a regular basis. So that's I lean

432
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,359
that way. Brian, you talked about home records a second ago.

433
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,480
The Mariners are thirty nine and twenty six at home

434
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:48,799
this year. So even though we've kind of talked about

435
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,200
them maybe not fitting into this ballpark in the respect

436
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,920
that like they rely on the home run and it's

437
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,680
a tough park to hit the ball out of, they've

438
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,759
been very very good at home. Can't the win The

439
00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:01,680
record is what it is, right, thirteen games over five

440
00:23:01,759 --> 00:23:04,720
hundred down their home field. And then finally with Bryce Miller,

441
00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:08,160
I'll throw his big league numbers right out because it's

442
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,839
such a small sample and he and he was hurt.

443
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:13,119
And then last week he comes back from injury and

444
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,119
the Phillies put together great at bad after great at

445
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,839
bad against him. I was on the Mariners in that game,

446
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,920
and Miller just I felt like he threw it well,

447
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,720
and the Phillies are just on another level with I

448
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,839
mean they were, they filed off great pitches. It's just like,

449
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,960
you know, that lineup was so locked in in that

450
00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:35,079
series that I'm almost willing to give Miller a pass

451
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,279
on the like you look at the box score, five innings,

452
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:40,640
four runs like that seems like it wasn't great. And

453
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,160
I thought he threw the belt ball much better than

454
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,079
that box score would indicate. So I think I may have.

455
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:49,359
You guys may have talked me into Mariners a little bit.

456
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,799
I'm not gonna use it for the parlot though, I'm

457
00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:54,039
gonna I'm gonna chill on that one. But uh yeah,

458
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,160
I think he leaned towards Seattle. Eric eric Man says,

459
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,079
do you put all best picks or parlays out? So, like, listen,

460
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,920
if you want our best picks, they're always at the

461
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,880
wager Talk site. Check out the free plays tab. I

462
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,400
know Tokyo Brandon's brought it up a bunch, and I'm

463
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,400
guilty of not bringing it up as much. But like

464
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,200
we often load a free play, a lot of times,

465
00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:19,759
I will put up a free play that that actually

466
00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:21,920
is one of my client plays that did over the weekend.

467
00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:24,920
So so check out the free picks tab. And then

468
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:30,440
today apparently it's wager Talk's birthday. Who knew eleven years

469
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,920
ago today the site began, and I believe all packages

470
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,119
are eleven dollars TV. Is that what I'm seeing here?

471
00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:39,160
Eleven bucks for everything today?

472
00:24:39,279 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: Yep?

473
00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, eleven great way to get our best picks.

474
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,039
But as far as this show is concerned, I mean,

475
00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:48,839
I think we put a pick in the parlay for

476
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,720
the show that we were fairly confident in if not playing.

477
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:55,119
So I think, like right, like you would you agree.

478
00:24:55,279 --> 00:24:57,720
Most most of the time, my parlay pick is either

479
00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:00,880
something I've played or something i've like really close to playing.

480
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,119
And I think that you can kind of bet those

481
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:10,440
picks with with some confidence. All right, all right, let's

482
00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:13,079
let's get let's give Sean some love here. I feel

483
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,759
like we haven't talked about the Tigers much lately, and

484
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:18,559
and and that is that is uncharacteristic of this show,

485
00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:21,200
Brian Leonard, I don't think we talked about the Tigers

486
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,839
at all last week, to be honest with you, or barely.

487
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,839
But today the Tigers head out west, and you know,

488
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:31,359
having to go out west and play this A's team

489
00:25:31,519 --> 00:25:33,359
has not really been a walk in the park. I

490
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,720
feel like they give an effort. This might be a

491
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:40,240
tough spot for the A's as they draw to stable

492
00:25:40,319 --> 00:25:45,039
here tonight in West Sacramento. So what do you think here?

493
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,240
Is there any shot that you can find a way

494
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,720
to get to the window with the A's here or

495
00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:51,200
is it going to be all schoolble tonight.

496
00:25:51,759 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 3: I'm going to make a general thought process here, and

497
00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:58,440
I talked about this earlier when you tried had a

498
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,640
big lead in the division. It would have even helped

499
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,039
better if they were held on. They had a nice

500
00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:07,920
comeback yesterday, but then Kansas City ends up getting the victory.

501
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:11,359
Detroit is the team I'm looking to fade, and I

502
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,440
hate say it for Sean and the Tigers fans, but

503
00:26:15,559 --> 00:26:18,000
this is a team that is not used to be

504
00:26:18,079 --> 00:26:20,400
in this situation. They've got a big lead in the division.

505
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:23,440
They're going to try to set everybody up going down

506
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,880
to the stretch. Don't know if I'm want to fade

507
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:28,920
Schooble because he's still fighting it out for the cy

508
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:34,079
young and he's obvious favorite, But Detroit's a team I'm

509
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,680
looking to fade as it goes on because right now

510
00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:39,839
they're going to be overrated and every game they play

511
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,160
it's not going to be a popular decision. But you

512
00:26:42,279 --> 00:26:45,519
have to realize that games won't mean as much to them.

513
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:47,920
They've locked up this division by winning. I believe they

514
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,559
won three out of four against the Royals over the

515
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:53,039
weekend and that pretty much did it. The Royals got

516
00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:56,039
a seventeen percent chance, Cleveland's down to a five percent chance.

517
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,960
Detroit can set themselves up the rest of the season

518
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,599
very much like the Dodgers have all season long. We

519
00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:04,000
talked about them. When they play with one of their

520
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,680
division rivals, either the Padres or the Giants, they seem

521
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,759
to play a little bit harder than they do a

522
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:11,440
lot of the other games. So something to keep track of.

523
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,319
Now for this game, Scooble comes in. He's about a

524
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,079
two twenty favorite against GINN a total of nine, slightly

525
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,079
to the under Terry Scobel has been terrific, no doubt

526
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,480
about it. Two point three to two ERA two point

527
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:29,759
six nine expected, zero point eighty seven whip right across

528
00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:32,599
the board. He's just been as good as he's been

529
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,599
in the last couple of years. He's just as good

530
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,240
this year and over the last two years. He's now

531
00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:41,519
twenty nine and seven in his games that he gets

532
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,960
the winner of the loss. So you always like him

533
00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:47,880
on the mound. He's very, very good, probably the best

534
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,720
pitcher in baseball along with Skeins JT. Gin four point

535
00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:54,640
nine to five ERA three point nine six expected, So

536
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,440
he's got some positive regression coming his way. One point

537
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,799
three to seven whip still bothers me a little bit.

538
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,359
Career in two seasons is one point three to five.

539
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:05,960
He does get hit. His heart hit rates in the

540
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,359
fifth percentile, barrel right in the ninth percentile. But other

541
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,279
than that, he's he's been pretty good. Only throw us

542
00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:15,000
four pitches with a sinker fifty two percent of the time,

543
00:28:16,079 --> 00:28:20,000
and I part of me thinks that he has the

544
00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:22,680
ability to go out on any night and pitch very well.

545
00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:25,200
The problem is, I don't think he's very consistent. And

546
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,079
that's the situation you find yourself in Yes, I think

547
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,079
school will pitch great and schoobl will probably win. Will

548
00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:34,440
I want to lay the two twenty I don't think so.

549
00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:38,039
I'll be passing on this one. But just keep in

550
00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:40,920
mind Detroit's in one of those situations with the other

551
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,599
five teams that they've all basically got everything locked up,

552
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,000
and the public will look at it, and they will

553
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
look at the records, and the public will be playing

554
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,799
the big favorites, and we could take advantage of the

555
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,279
underdogs the rest of the season.

556
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,079
Speaker 2: Here's an interesting statistic for you. Gin has allowed fourteen

557
00:29:02,119 --> 00:29:06,160
earned runs in his last fifteen innings pitched, and he's

558
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,440
got a six plus CRA at home. Now he's going

559
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,119
against a pitcher who has allowed seven earned in his

560
00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:20,519
last twenty one innings, So I think Scooble's a little

561
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:23,039
bit better as a matter of fact.

562
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: Matter of fact.

563
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: Also, by the way, yeah, matter.

564
00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: Of fact, Schools. I have him ranked number two out

565
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,599
of every starting pitcher in MLB, right behind Skiens because

566
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,880
Skeens has had two good starts in a row, but

567
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,759
those two are basically swapping number one between each other

568
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:48,440
every week. So given that I have Detroit hitting better,

569
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000
I have Detroit's bullpen and the A's bullpen dead even,

570
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,519
So generally I like to have a little bit more

571
00:29:57,519 --> 00:30:01,400
of a discrepancy between the teams if I'm going to

572
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,200
make a side bet on it. So I haven't made

573
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,400
a side bet on it, but it's really hard to

574
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,640
bet against Scooble, really hard, especially when he's got the

575
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,279
better line up behind him. Now, the A's were hitting,

576
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,319
they were on a tear last week, but my rankings

577
00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:19,279
are very recentcy biased.

578
00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:20,319
Speaker 3: Right now.

579
00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:24,079
Speaker 2: I got the A's ranked fifteen, which is right on

580
00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:27,599
the mendos A line of all thirty Major League Baseball teams,

581
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,240
and I got the Tigers ranked twelve, so, you know,

582
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,519
pretty comparable, but Tiger's a little bit better and bullpen's

583
00:30:35,519 --> 00:30:41,720
pretty even. This starting pitching discrepancy is huge, though, So yeah,

584
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,920
I think it's Tigers or nothing. I haven't played it yet, though.

585
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I was just checking, are my eyes deceiving me?

586
00:30:51,119 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: Did?

587
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: Are the Tiger's now under a two dollars favorite? Are they?

588
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:54,519
Speaker 2: Like?

589
00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:57,319
Speaker 1: Minus one eighty? Is that true? Minus eighty?

590
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,039
Speaker 3: That's strong lost? I say, is a heritage all right?

591
00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: So I I wonder if this screen hasn't refreshed or something.

592
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,039
I just pulled one book up quick that that I

593
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:10,240
saw a minus one eighty five, which very well could

594
00:31:10,319 --> 00:31:12,039
be the case. But I was wondering what the what

595
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:13,839
the market was because I don't have that screen up

596
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:17,480
even minus one ninety. I think it's crazy for the

597
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,400
for Schooble here. And then I'm a guy that likes

598
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,240
this A's team, right like I look for spots in

599
00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:28,119
the PA. You know, I'm even probably in the in

600
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,119
the camp of like try to fade this Tigers team.

601
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,799
The A's don't set up great against left handed pitching,

602
00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:37,319
and they literally will face the best left handed pitcher

603
00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:40,359
on the planet right here. So that's a concern. The

604
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,119
other thing with Schoogle is what has he given up

605
00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:47,400
outside his division? Really? Like the only teams that tend

606
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,759
to get to him other than that Angel start, which

607
00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:53,839
was just a weird game. If I remember correctly, it

608
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,519
was it fell at a weird time for him. I

609
00:31:56,559 --> 00:31:57,880
don't know if it was a day game, but there

610
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,759
was something I had a note written down about that.

611
00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:02,519
So where what is he given up outside of the division?

612
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,000
Last time out against the Astros seventh scoreless, ten strikeouts,

613
00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:11,680
the Phillies three runs, seven innings ten K's Blue Jays.

614
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,519
I mean, these are elite lineups right here. Six scoreless,

615
00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:19,720
seven strikeouts, Rangers six and two third, one run eleven

616
00:32:19,799 --> 00:32:22,400
K's that's since the All Star Break, and those are

617
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,480
decent teams and he's wiped them out. The only team

618
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,599
that's really kind of scraped by off of him a

619
00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:30,200
little bit, I feel like is the Twins, but they

620
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,160
have like tons of exposure against him. Goes back to

621
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,480
the hole, you know, making a case for the Mariners

622
00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:38,079
right like they you start to see a guy enough,

623
00:32:38,599 --> 00:32:40,400
even if it's s Google, you can kind of start

624
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,200
to figure him out. The A's really haven't seen him.

625
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,240
The as swing at a lot of pitches, and the A's

626
00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:49,359
lineup is not They don't put their best lineup in

627
00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:51,039
the field when they faced a lefty, because that means

628
00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:54,079
you're gonna have guys like Kurtz Soderstrom. They're gonna have

629
00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:56,559
to face a lefty and that's that's not optimal for them.

630
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,400
So I mean the Tigers is like a no brainer.

631
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,799
The problem is you got to lay a dollar ninety,

632
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,759
but I think you should be laying closer to like

633
00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:07,079
I think you should be more like two fifty. I

634
00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:09,920
think that's a little cheap. I you know what, I

635
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,960
don't like much right now, I'm gonna put this. I'm

636
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,079
gonna put Tiger's money line in the parlay. It's gonna

637
00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:16,119
kill the odds a little bit, but I'm fine with

638
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,359
that because it's a three teamer and there's just not

639
00:33:18,559 --> 00:33:22,119
much else that I love that. I don't that that

640
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,400
I want to give away here because I'm probably gonna

641
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,279
need to sell a play for eleven dollars on the

642
00:33:26,279 --> 00:33:29,480
site today because it's wager Talk's birthday, so Tiger's money

643
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,480
lines might play. Go ahead, Brian, I.

644
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:34,839
Speaker 3: Just wanted to point out the reason why I don't

645
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,920
like to try, just because they're coming off that big

646
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,559
series against Kansas City that basically locked up the division

647
00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:42,960
for him, So the motivation may not be there, but

648
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,880
the motivation is still there. For school ball, sure, I

649
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,319
think the better at least my opinion, the better way

650
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:51,559
to play is maybe play the athletics under three and

651
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:54,599
a half runs and you can play one to thirty five.

652
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,440
I think that's that's because if Scooball's gonna win, he's

653
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,680
not going to give up four runs. I see. I

654
00:34:00,759 --> 00:34:01,720
think that's probably the worst.

655
00:34:01,759 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: Probably. I don't disagree with that either. I'm gonna I'm

656
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,000
gonna keep Tiger's money line for the parlate because it's

657
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:10,920
just a little bit easier for the people to get

658
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,679
in a parlay. But yeah, I'm basically fine with correlating

659
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,800
anything towards Schooble having a good game. Tokyo, Brandon, what's

660
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,320
that You kind of played the starting pitcher to win

661
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,920
market sometimes? Do you see that offered for Schooble here?

662
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 2: I don't see it because I'm not logged in right now.

663
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:35,239
That's okay, I mean, but here's an interesting statistic statistic.

664
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,320
Why can't I speak English today? Japanese is all right,

665
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,480
My English is no good. So interesting statistic here. The

666
00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:46,840
A's have hit Schooble in the past, so it could

667
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,920
be high scoring, but I think Detroit will hit the

668
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:55,400
A's more. Brett Rooker seven eight eight for seventeen with

669
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:58,280
three home runs against Schooble. So if you want to

670
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,079
play a hits runs RBI prop, Brooker would be your

671
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:04,320
guy today in my opinion. But uh yeah, I think

672
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,599
the A's can probably get two runs off of Scooble,

673
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:11,079
but I think the Tigers will probably get about eight off. Again,

674
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,840
So so a couple.

675
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,639
Speaker 3: Couple of things. This is definitely a chief.

676
00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: Number, all right, So a couple things here, A couple

677
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,360
things here like chat chat is okay, like turbucle Tommy

678
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,159
points out the A's are the best lineup against left

679
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:29,960
handed pitching over the last month. Listen, any you can

680
00:35:30,039 --> 00:35:33,800
make anything work with a small sample, and I'm not

681
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,280
discounting that. Okay, but tell get back to me with

682
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,800
the caliber of left handed pitcher that that's that's based

683
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,000
off of. And tell me if anyone in there is

684
00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:48,280
anywhere close to the caliber of Greek School. What I'm

685
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:53,360
saying is I don't think this lineup stets up the

686
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,679
best against lefties.

687
00:35:54,679 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 3: Now.

688
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: It's not to say that they haven't had a good

689
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,519
run against them, but I just think when you look

690
00:35:58,519 --> 00:36:01,039
at who their A's are o them on lineup, is

691
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:06,280
Kurt Soderstrom. You'd rather have those guys against right handed pitching.

692
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,280
The other thing is the A's have good numbers against Schooble,

693
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,639
who because the A's last year are not this lineup.

694
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,800
Most of these guys weren't even on the team last year.

695
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,119
So like how many times has Jacob Wilson seen Terry

696
00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:22,519
scuobl or like, but you know what I'm saying, like

697
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:25,119
they they haven't seen him much at all. And the

698
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:28,639
one thing you're forgetting too, the A's swing at everything.

699
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,679
You don't think a guy like the caliber of Kurt

700
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,760
Tarik Schooble is going to take that to his advantage.

701
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:38,320
So I mean over over strikeouts. I just think let's

702
00:36:38,519 --> 00:36:42,000
see what Sean's saying here. Schooble seven innings, pitch vest

703
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,719
and Finnegan to close the game under three and a

704
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,719
half is a play. I don't disagree with that. I'm

705
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,280
fine with Tiger's money line. I'm fine with Schooble to

706
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,320
record a win. I'm fine with strikeouts over. I think

707
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,920
the A's are going to swing and miss a lot

708
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,199
tonight and in the Tigers are gonna be in the

709
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,880
driver's seat. That's why I'm making the play go ahead.

710
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 3: Bright, Yeah, well that US just got hit. They're down.

711
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,440
Pinnacle is down to one eighty one on Detroit. So

712
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:10,599
it may be a situation where Detroit has liked out

713
00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:12,920
their lineup on tonight's and they're gonna play a lot

714
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,119
of guys that aren't normally in the lineup.

715
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: Their lineup's not very good anyway. That's what I've been

716
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,599
saying with the Tigers all year, like they're you know,

717
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,400
like they're that's not why you played Detroit in my opinion.

718
00:37:25,199 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 2: And this left handed, right handed stuff is way overrated.

719
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,280
In my opinion, I don't really care how they do

720
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,039
against left handed pitching. I care how they do against

721
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:38,079
this left handed pitcher, and like you know, they can

722
00:37:38,119 --> 00:37:41,159
bomb bomb the heck out of you know, Carlos Carrasco.

723
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,880
I don't care. What does that have to do with

724
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,639
how they're going to do today. Nothing, So I don't

725
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:49,159
really put a lot of credence in the left handed stuff.

726
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 3: I disagree. A lot of the teams are set up

727
00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:57,280
very good against leftis alreadies depending on if they have

728
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,440
leftis varrieties in the lineup and it or We even

729
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,880
saw one team yesterday loaded their team up with righty

730
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,039
is because they were facing already that had opposite splits.

731
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,880
So I disagree with that. But yeah, money coming in

732
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,079
on the athletics there, so you'll get a better number

733
00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:16,760
than you would have gotten five minutes ago on that.

734
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll hopefully get a better number at the end.

735
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,679
Of the show when we lock into parlay one more time,

736
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:24,840
because like I'm confused here, Adam say they don't line

737
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,320
up well against left handed pitching. I did not say that.

738
00:38:27,559 --> 00:38:30,639
I said I don't think that they And this is

739
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,559
just my opinion. So you don't have you could take

740
00:38:32,599 --> 00:38:34,800
it or leave it. It doesn't not every opinion I

741
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,400
make is fact. I'm saying that I don't. I don't

742
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,800
think they're optimal lineup like in my opinion with some

743
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,920
of the guys they have in there long term, is

744
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,320
the best against left handed pitching and I and you know,

745
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,480
you could take a small sample size, but there's a

746
00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:53,079
couple lefties have dominated them this year, earlier in the year,

747
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,440
and they're facing the literal best one on the planet tonight.

748
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,840
That's all I'm saying. Anyway, let's see exactly that's it.

749
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,320
And again I could be very wrong. There's the market

750
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,159
things I'm wrong, but I've also played back at the

751
00:39:05,159 --> 00:39:07,679
market often this year in Major League Baseball and I'm

752
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,519
having and I'm doing great, so I can uh, I can't,

753
00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:13,480
is what it is. I'll take a better number. You

754
00:39:13,519 --> 00:39:15,079
want to give me a better number on the Tigers,

755
00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:17,719
Sean and Ile bet the Tigers tonight will cash with school,

756
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:18,719
no problem, all right.

757
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 3: A lot of time, a lot of times you'll find

758
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,239
headpakes this early in the morning, but I can't see

759
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,559
it on this game because the public will be all

760
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:29,079
over Detroit. Why would you do that make a headpake

761
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:32,880
that this has got to be legit money coming in

762
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:33,480
on the dog here?

763
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,119
Speaker 1: I would think, Yeah, I'm sure it is. I'm sure

764
00:39:36,119 --> 00:39:38,239
it is. They might see value in the in the

765
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,000
number over the course of the whole game. I'm not

766
00:39:40,039 --> 00:39:43,320
saying that there's not. I just don't agree with it anyway. Uh,

767
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:49,920
let's uh, let's continue here. Okay, that was That was

768
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,199
I didn't think we were going to have that lively

769
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,400
of a discussion on Tiger's ace. But what do I know?

770
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,079
This is we're off to a hot start. On a Monday.

771
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,639
One more time as I as I the next game

772
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:02,760
TV promo would tell tell them what's going on at

773
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,079
wager Talk today one more time.

774
00:40:04,599 --> 00:40:09,079
Speaker 2: So on this day eleven years ago, Marco and Prez

00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:24,360
think thirty three thirty one cappers here and a lot

778
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,440
of talented guys, including US three. You can hate us,

779
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,960
you can say we're silly, but the three of us

780
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,320
are winning pretty well this year, so we're pretty good guys.

781
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: To follow.

782
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:41,159
Speaker 2: Eleven dollars for any package on any capper, and that's unlimited,

783
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,760
so go to wagertalk dot com and see all the deals,

784
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,519
especially from US.

785
00:40:49,159 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 3: I will point out I was one of the original

786
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,639
ages on the site eleven years ago, which is why No.

787
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,960
D number one in baseball through the history, I've had

788
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,679
a little bit of a head start on some of

789
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,960
you guys, so you've done very well since you've been

790
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,760
on the site. But yeah, that's that's why I've been

791
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:12,920
on it for so long that I've accumulated more winners.

792
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: All right, Colin, We'll we'll get that. I saw what

793
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,960
you put up there. We'll we'll definitely get that one next.

794
00:41:21,159 --> 00:41:23,159
But I'm gonna I pull the comment up. Is Washington

795
00:41:23,199 --> 00:41:25,639
a good bet today with Lord on the mound? And

796
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,199
this is an interesting one because of course it's everyone's

797
00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:30,519
favorite team to talk about, the New York Yankees. Who

798
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,880
saved face a little bit last night, Brian Leonard, You

799
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,000
know it was always funny to see jash chishlm kind

800
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,360
of like celebrating that second home run. It's like, you

801
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,159
guys still got bodied by the Red Sox all weekend. Yes,

802
00:41:45,199 --> 00:41:48,480
they stole the finale and now they come into tonight.

803
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,800
Our guy Cam Schlitler looked really good last time out.

804
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,719
And but the Yankees are a big favorite here. And

805
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,280
what what Jason is asking is is there value on

806
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,719
the nets? Brad Lord's been good. The nets have been

807
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:04,639
the Gnats excuse me, have been pretty good against right

808
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:06,599
handed pitching, and they're up against a righty here. So

809
00:42:06,639 --> 00:42:08,559
how are you seeing this one? NAT's Yankees.

810
00:42:09,119 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 3: We're looking at the Yankees about it looks about about

811
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,559
a two thirty favorite total of nine. But once again,

812
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:17,679
we've got a team coming off of the big series

813
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:23,760
against Boston and they're still Somebody came in the chat

814
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,880
or not wasn't the chat, but it was afterwards and said,

815
00:42:28,199 --> 00:42:30,599
we're making fun of the Yankees. Well, if you've watched

816
00:42:30,639 --> 00:42:34,159
the Yankees play even this series, they continue to have

817
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,920
bad base running, bad errors. They're just not a very

818
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,079
fundamental team. I know they do have some talent. They've

819
00:42:40,119 --> 00:42:42,320
got some great talent. Judge is one of the best

820
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:48,119
hitters I've ever seen, but they are not an actual

821
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,679
team that other people are. You compare them to the Brewers,

822
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,039
the Brewers are the better team, although the Browers do

823
00:42:55,159 --> 00:42:59,480
not have the talent the Yankees have. But anyway, Lord's

824
00:42:59,519 --> 00:43:03,159
going or Washington. He comes in with a three point

825
00:43:03,159 --> 00:43:06,800
four to six ERA four point three six expected, so

826
00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:10,480
he's been a little bit lucky. Terrible extension in the

827
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,480
third percentele expected Bannie everage in the fifteenth. He's very

828
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,519
good at a couple things here. Averagejacks velocity eighty second

829
00:43:17,559 --> 00:43:21,800
percentile barrel rate ninetieth, ground ball rate eighty seventh ground

830
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,400
ball rates very important in this ball in this ballpark

831
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,719
with a lot of home muns. In fact, I was

832
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:34,079
looking at the home runs on the season. There are

833
00:43:34,119 --> 00:43:36,360
two teams, the Yankees and I can't remember who the

834
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,079
other team was, that have twice as many home runs

835
00:43:39,079 --> 00:43:43,119
as the Pittsburgh Pirates, twice as many home runs. That's

836
00:43:43,119 --> 00:43:46,599
why the Pirates are not winning a lot of games offensively.

837
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,039
But Brad Lawd going against the Yankees, We'll see how

838
00:43:51,039 --> 00:43:53,079
it goes for him. But Schlittler has been very good.

839
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,000
Three point two two ERA three point nine all so

840
00:43:56,079 --> 00:43:58,639
he's a little bit lucky in that regard. Still small

841
00:43:58,679 --> 00:44:01,880
sample size, only thirty six. I think it's basketball velocity

842
00:44:02,119 --> 00:44:04,719
ninety fifth percentile. He throws ninety eight miles an hour,

843
00:44:05,519 --> 00:44:08,000
and that could be enough to have success against this

844
00:44:08,159 --> 00:44:11,559
Washington team. Who you talk about teams that have the

845
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,239
guys that will chase a little bit, They do chase,

846
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,920
So that is a concern here. I'm not gonna be

847
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,800
on Washington. I just think the pitching advantage goes for

848
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:26,039
the Yankees, the situational advantage goes for Washington, but I'm

849
00:44:26,039 --> 00:44:28,599
not probably not gonna get there. Let's take a look

850
00:44:28,599 --> 00:44:33,519
at what the spread on this is one and a half.

851
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,119
You can get Washington plus one and a half right now,

852
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,639
basically even money at plus one hundred. If you're going

853
00:44:39,679 --> 00:44:41,159
to play it, that may be the better way to

854
00:44:41,159 --> 00:44:43,679
play it. But I'll be passing on this game myself.

855
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 2: So I've said many times, don't bet against Jesus, and

856
00:44:48,559 --> 00:44:51,119
I'm going to say don't bet against the Lord today

857
00:44:51,199 --> 00:44:56,599
because yes, Brian's correct, he has been a little bit lucky,

858
00:44:56,639 --> 00:45:00,840
but his numbers are really good. Slitler also though pretty

859
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,239
good numbers. I mean, if you look at his last starts,

860
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,119
He's not giving up many runs. I think he's given

861
00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:09,800
up five earned in his last three starts. Pretty good

862
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,880
at home. His ERA is higher than on the road,

863
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,599
a little strange, but the sample size is small still,

864
00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:18,599
only nineteen innings, so I don't know how much credence

865
00:45:18,599 --> 00:45:23,320
we can put into that. The Lord has forty six

866
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,159
innings on the road and a two five to four ERA.

867
00:45:26,519 --> 00:45:30,000
Pretty good numbers, no sample size Against the Yankees. I

868
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,880
think someone told Aaron Judge that it's playoff time because

869
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,239
he's batting like his playoff self, not his regular season self.

870
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,639
He's been a ghost since he came back off of injury,

871
00:45:40,679 --> 00:45:43,360
and until he gets his back going, he's the only

872
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,360
real legitimate batter in this entire lineup in my opinion.

873
00:45:47,639 --> 00:45:51,599
Jazz Chisholm. I was surprised how he reacted after his

874
00:45:51,679 --> 00:45:53,760
second home run, but I was surprised to see him.

875
00:45:53,679 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: Have a good game.

876
00:45:54,519 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 2: That's his first game, first good game since May.

877
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 3: I mean, geez, sucks.

878
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: So I've got Washington ranked higher than the Yankees at everything,

879
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,320
but I have him ranked higher. I have them ranked

880
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,480
higher than the Yankees, only by like one or two

881
00:46:10,559 --> 00:46:12,719
points here and there. So I have them ranked higher

882
00:46:13,039 --> 00:46:17,280
at everything, but not by a lot unless Judge gets

883
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,559
his bat going. Where are the Yankees run production coming from?

884
00:46:21,599 --> 00:46:23,599
I mean, I don't see it.

885
00:46:23,679 --> 00:46:24,159
Speaker 1: I got the.

886
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:29,159
Speaker 2: The bullpen discrepancy. I have a little bit bigger than

887
00:46:29,199 --> 00:46:32,679
anything else, though, Like I got Washington ranked nine and

888
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:37,119
I got the Yankees ranked fifteen or so, But everything

889
00:46:37,119 --> 00:46:40,760
else I have almost neck and neck. So if anything,

890
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:45,800
I would take Washington here. But yeah, I kind of

891
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,840
agree with Brian. I don't really trust Lord that much.

892
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,440
Sample sizes are small, and he has put up good stats,

893
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:57,199
but his expected stats are a little bit scary, So

894
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:58,960
might lay off of that one.

895
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Nationals at tempting, especially on the run line.

896
00:47:03,639 --> 00:47:05,519
Plus one and a half a couple of reasons. One

897
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,480
Yankee is still trying to figure out how to play

898
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,480
fundamental baseball. Yes, they got to win last night. No,

899
00:47:12,599 --> 00:47:15,079
the fundamentals were not good for a lot of the weekend,

900
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,840
and again that's why they got You know, the Red

901
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,800
Sox were the clear better team in that series. I

902
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,480
guess you could throw that point out, you know, I

903
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,079
think some of it's anecdotal. But still playing a big

904
00:47:28,119 --> 00:47:30,679
game on Sunday night, like yeah, there's no travel or anything,

905
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,960
but the magnitude. I mean that that was Yankees Red

906
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,320
Sox for four days. Like you can't tell me that

907
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,199
that doesn't like that they weren't up and into that

908
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,880
series big time, and now playing the Nats might be

909
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,559
a little bit of a letdown, right, Like they just

910
00:47:43,599 --> 00:47:47,440
we just had Yankees Red Sox at the stadium big time,

911
00:47:47,519 --> 00:47:51,199
like Thursday night was a standalone National TV game. Sunday

912
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,039
night standalone National TV game like that was a huge

913
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:56,599
series and now they have to play the lowly Nationals.

914
00:47:56,599 --> 00:48:00,519
So you know, definitely could could maybe out a little

915
00:48:00,519 --> 00:48:02,719
bit flat as far as the matchup's concerned. I'll go

916
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,719
back to what I've said all season. The Nationals are

917
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,320
a tend to be a good bet against right handed pitching.

918
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,800
There's a lot of lefties in the lineup, and this

919
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,360
goes back to like lineup construction like I was talking

920
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,920
about with the A's a little bit. It's like, I

921
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,920
just think the Nationals lineup plays against right handed pitching

922
00:48:20,039 --> 00:48:23,000
much better because there's been points in time where they've

923
00:48:23,039 --> 00:48:26,320
had nine left handed hitters in the lineup this year. Now,

924
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,280
they're a type of team that continues to call guys up,

925
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,000
send him down. So you know, you never really know

926
00:48:31,039 --> 00:48:32,800
who's going to be in the lineup for the Nats

927
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,400
on a given day. And that's another characteristic of a

928
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,039
team that's fifty three and seventy seven and out of it.

929
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,840
But my guess is they're going to put all these

930
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,960
lefties in the lineup because that's what they've done most

931
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,320
of the season. That could be tough on a young

932
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,559
guy like Chlitzler, you know, like he's gonna he may

933
00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:51,000
have to navigate a lineup of nine left handed batters here,

934
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,320
and for as good as he's been, you know that's

935
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,599
not I don't know that that's necessarily easy to do.

936
00:48:56,679 --> 00:48:59,519
The last point I'll make the natsa played pretty good

937
00:48:59,559 --> 00:49:02,719
ball this week, Like every game has been competitive, A

938
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,280
couple wins against the Mets, they go to Philly, they

939
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,400
win on Friday, and then the last two nights have

940
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,960
been competitive losses six to four on Saturday, two to

941
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,199
three last night. They didn't really burn their their best

942
00:49:13,199 --> 00:49:16,760
bullpen arms the last two days. So I don't mind

943
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,719
the Nats on the run line here, especially if you

944
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,679
get it around even money. That seems like a reasonably

945
00:49:23,159 --> 00:49:26,920
good bet. To make someone you know. Sean makes a

946
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,920
good point, Yankees do destroy bad teams, but I still

947
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,719
lean toward the Nats or go ahead TV. What were

948
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:32,199
you gonna say?

949
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,559
Speaker 2: Sorry to interrupt, but quick point. But I'm not big

950
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,480
on like spots and stuff like that. It's not a

951
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:43,400
big part of my cap. But it's undeniable that teams,

952
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,159
when they come off an intense series, they do have

953
00:49:46,199 --> 00:49:49,280
a letdown. Like look how the Dodgers performed after their

954
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,960
San Diego Padre series they get sweeped by the Angels.

955
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,239
I mean, it is a thing. How much of a

956
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,639
thing that's for you guys to determine, and that's for

957
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,159
us as cappers to determine. But it is a thing

958
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,599
when you come off a heated rivalry series you do

959
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,000
for a letdown, and that is actually a thing. I'm

960
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,719
not guaranteeing the Yankees are gonna lose here, but I

961
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:13,239
do think they'll be flat.

962
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: Brian, how much stock are you putting into Sunday Night Baseball?

963
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,320
Like have you kind of tracked that at all? Has

964
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,679
that been I know I took a loss playing a

965
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,480
team that came off a Sunday night game last week,

966
00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:27,400
but I feel like sometimes it's anecdote. Where you stand

967
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:27,679
on that.

968
00:50:28,079 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 3: I think it all depends on who the team is.

969
00:50:30,079 --> 00:50:32,760
If it's your normal teams that they put on Sunday

970
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,480
Night Baseball, I don't think it makes that much of

971
00:50:34,519 --> 00:50:38,559
a difference. But if you're a team that never gets

972
00:50:38,559 --> 00:50:41,440
on national TV, I think it's a huge difference. So

973
00:50:41,559 --> 00:50:44,360
you have to take it a little bit on an

974
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:45,280
individual basis.

975
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:50,039
Speaker 1: I believe, Yeah, I don't think there's any question that,

976
00:50:50,159 --> 00:50:53,400
like coming off Yanks Red Sox, they're gonna have you know,

977
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,639
they're gonna have to recharge up a little bit because

978
00:50:55,639 --> 00:50:58,320
that was a very that was an intense four game series.

979
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,159
But I also don't disag with Shaw on the Yankees.

980
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,800
They do hammer bad teams on occasion, and there's no

981
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,840
question the Nationals are a bad baseball team. I just

982
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,920
think this matchup is not the worst for them. So

983
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:11,559
that's a good, good chat right there. I don't know

984
00:51:11,559 --> 00:51:13,719
if I'll get to the window with Nats, but I

985
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,480
personally see some value with the visitors. All right, let's talk.

986
00:51:16,679 --> 00:51:19,280
Let's go to Colin. This is a big game. Gotta

987
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,440
talk about this one. Red's Dodgers, He asks Brian Leonard,

988
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,239
playoff preview. Well, if you watch the beginning of the show,

989
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,159
Brian says, the Reds don't have a great chance to

990
00:51:28,159 --> 00:51:30,880
make the playoffs. But what do you think Red's Dodgers.

991
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he's talking about this year. I

992
00:51:37,039 --> 00:51:41,159
do say this is probably a good spot for the Reds.

993
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,639
As was just mentioned, the Dodgers coming off the San

994
00:51:43,679 --> 00:51:48,199
Diego got Hunter Green, who is the better pitcher on

995
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,440
the mound. Just depends on how long he can go.

996
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,239
He's only got seventy two innings on the season because

997
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,760
of injuries, but those seventy two innings have been really impressive.

998
00:51:58,199 --> 00:52:01,239
Two point sixty three ERA, two point seven five expected,

999
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,880
zero point ninety three whip. Just two years ago he

1000
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,400
had a one point four to two whip and over

1001
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,239
one hundred innings. He's gotten so much better in that.

1002
00:52:10,159 --> 00:52:14,719
But he is a flyball pitcher, and we've talked about

1003
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,360
this in the past. They've got a lot of flyball

1004
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,920
pitchers in Cincinnati, but none of them given home runs.

1005
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,559
This year, maybe they've figured something out and they brought

1006
00:52:22,559 --> 00:52:26,199
in latel another guy who gives up a lot a

1007
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:27,840
lot of home runs. They brought him and he's a

1008
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,679
flyball pitcher, so they might have figured something out. In fact,

1009
00:52:31,639 --> 00:52:34,280
I read an article a couple of weeks ago about that,

1010
00:52:35,079 --> 00:52:38,119
and they think they're judging something a little bit differently

1011
00:52:38,159 --> 00:52:41,480
in Cincinnati than they do anywhere else, and so they're

1012
00:52:41,559 --> 00:52:43,320
head of the curve when it comes to that. So

1013
00:52:43,599 --> 00:52:45,400
you've got to give them credit. They figured out a

1014
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,320
way to throw flyballs to just keep everybody a little

1015
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,039
bit off balance and not throw it inside where they

1016
00:52:51,079 --> 00:52:53,320
can pull it, and that's I think that's where they're

1017
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,679
getting their success on it. But one hundred Green's a

1018
00:52:55,679 --> 00:52:59,599
guy I really like, and I think he's he's one

1019
00:52:59,599 --> 00:53:01,480
of the better pitchers in Major League Baseball if he

1020
00:53:01,519 --> 00:53:04,679
can just stay healthy. And Machinson had a decent season

1021
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,679
four point one seven ERA, three point seven to two expected.

1022
00:53:07,679 --> 00:53:10,280
In fact, last year he ended up with a four

1023
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,400
point nine to two ERA but a three point five

1024
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,760
all expected, so his expected numbers look like he could

1025
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,599
be a guy that could be pitching some playoff innings

1026
00:53:18,599 --> 00:53:21,920
here as a starter for the Dodgers, even because they've

1027
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,159
had so many guys go in and out of the

1028
00:53:24,199 --> 00:53:27,280
lineup because of the injuries to the starting rotation. But

1029
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,960
I like him overall. But he's also a guy that

1030
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,199
gives up fly balls. He's in the six percent tile

1031
00:53:32,199 --> 00:53:34,840
of the ground ball rate. But I really like his

1032
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,280
his everything he does. He only throws four pitches and

1033
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,480
the curve only seven percent of the time. He's a

1034
00:53:40,519 --> 00:53:44,000
fastball guy forty seven percent of the time. But if

1035
00:53:44,039 --> 00:53:47,480
I'm playing this one, I'm taking the underdog. The underdog

1036
00:53:47,559 --> 00:53:50,519
reds here you can get you know, upwards of one

1037
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,880
point thirty, but more of one twenty five range for

1038
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,920
that on the reds, I prefer that side. Don't know

1039
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,599
if I'll get there. To be honest with you, I'm

1040
00:53:59,639 --> 00:54:03,079
not love in the card. Today. We're on a I

1041
00:54:03,079 --> 00:54:07,000
believe eleven and four run on free plays and we've

1042
00:54:07,039 --> 00:54:09,360
won twelve out the last sixteen days for paid clients,

1043
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,559
so everything's going well. The good news is all these

1044
00:54:12,559 --> 00:54:14,880
games are on the evening card, so I've got many

1045
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,920
more hours to look over these before I have to

1046
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,719
put up make up my decisions. So at this point

1047
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,400
nothing's jumping out of me. But once I see some

1048
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,519
lineups and read some more stories, maybe I'll get a

1049
00:54:26,559 --> 00:54:28,400
better play to put up for clients today.

1050
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:34,920

1056
00:54:50,519 --> 00:54:55,960
So regarding this one, I couldn't agree with Brian Moore again,

1057
00:54:57,199 --> 00:55:01,199
tough series against the Padres. The Dodgers are in shambles

1058
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:02,800
right now. I mean, if you look at how they

1059
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:06,239
performed the last month, they're no better than They're no

1060
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,760
better than Tampa Bay, or they're no better than you know,

1061
00:55:11,039 --> 00:55:14,159
teams toiling and mediocrity. I mean, the Royals are playing

1062
00:55:14,159 --> 00:55:16,679
better than the Dodgers. The Brewers are playing better than

1063
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,639
the Dodgers, and it's mainly due to the fact that

1064
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,599
who would think that on August twenty fifth they'd have

1065
00:55:23,599 --> 00:55:27,039
some guy named Shehan starting the game? You know, I

1066
00:55:27,039 --> 00:55:29,679
don't think anyone expected this. But the Dodgers are set

1067
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,559
up to be really good in the playoffs. I mean,

1068
00:55:32,599 --> 00:55:35,960
they'll have all of their starting pitchers back, including Sasaki,

1069
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,360
so yeah, they'll be a decent team in the playoffs.

1070
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:44,719
But for now, They're just mediocre at best, and when

1071
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:50,760
they're top three, guys like Freeman, Betts and Otani are

1072
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,639
not hitting. This team just knows dive. At the beginning

1073
00:55:53,639 --> 00:55:55,840
of the season, they had other guys to pick up

1074
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,400
the slack, but now not so much. They do have

1075
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,960
some young guys that they're put in their lineup they're

1076
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,360
getting a little production out of, but it's just not enough.

1077
00:56:04,679 --> 00:56:07,639
Their bullpens and shambles ranked twenty one out of thirty

1078
00:56:07,679 --> 00:56:11,639
and they've been solidly twenty or worse for at least

1079
00:56:11,639 --> 00:56:17,239
the last two months. You know, trying and I really

1080
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,639
like trying to but he hasn't been the same since

1081
00:56:19,679 --> 00:56:23,320
coming back. I haven't been using him lately. Uh, and

1082
00:56:23,639 --> 00:56:27,719
Cincinnati's bullpen's performing really well, Hunter Green.

1083
00:56:28,159 --> 00:56:29,159
Speaker 1: Look at his stats.

1084
00:56:29,639 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 2: If this guy played on the Yankees, man, they'd be

1085
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,480
talking Cy Young Award, But because he plays for the Reds,

1086
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,519
nobody talks about him. I mean a zero nine to

1087
00:56:37,559 --> 00:56:41,559
three whip in all those innings pitched, ninety one k's

1088
00:56:42,119 --> 00:56:44,679
I mean two sixty three year right, this guy, this

1089
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,159
guy is amazing and he's got great numbers against these Dodgers.

1090
00:56:48,159 --> 00:56:52,280
In forty plus at bats against, I don't see how

1091
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,440
you couldn't take Cincinnati here. I think the Dodgers after

1092
00:56:56,159 --> 00:57:01,000
a competitive series against their heated rival two games back

1093
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,559
in their own division, I see the Dodgers foundering a

1094
00:57:04,599 --> 00:57:05,239
little bit here.

1095
00:57:07,599 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So there's a couple of people in the chat

1096
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:13,280
that have persistently asked about totals for the past, like

1097
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,039
twenty minutes and if there's any overs on the card today,

1098
00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:19,320
and so I'll take the total angle here. I kind

1099
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,000
of think there's gonna be runs, and I feel like

1100
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,880
that's a little bit of a contrarian opinion because of

1101
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,800
how well Green is pitched, But you're talking about a

1102
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,159
total of eight here. One thing I noticed with these

1103
00:57:29,199 --> 00:57:33,760
two pitchers both are extreme flyball pitchers. Now, now Hanter

1104
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:37,800
Green's let's a little caveat there is like he also

1105
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,360
gets a ton of swing and miss, so it's not

1106
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,880
like he's just giving up, you know, flyball after fly ball.

1107
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,760
I mean, the guy will strike out twelve guys a game,

1108
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,400
but you're still facing the Dodgers, Like, there are plenty

1109
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,480
of options in this Dodgers lineup of guys that can

1110
00:57:51,559 --> 00:57:54,119
hit the ball in the ballpark. And Shean, on the

1111
00:57:54,119 --> 00:57:57,119
other hand, while I do like him, and you know,

1112
00:57:57,199 --> 00:58:00,320
he's I think there's a lot of upside there is

1113
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,480
not Hunter Green, He's another guy that rarely gets ground balls.

1114
00:58:03,519 --> 00:58:05,480
So I look at these two lineups and say, you

1115
00:58:05,519 --> 00:58:07,840
know what, Yeah, there's probably at least one or two

1116
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,039
balls leaving the ballpark here in this matchup. Because even Green,

1117
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,599
I mean, you mean to tell me that he catches

1118
00:58:13,639 --> 00:58:15,679
too much of the zone against the Freeman or Artani,

1119
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:17,960
they can hit him out, that's no problem. So I

1120
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,760
think you get a couple home runs. One thing. You know,

1121
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,519
the Reds definitely used up some pen. Yes, you know,

1122
00:58:24,559 --> 00:58:27,880
they used some bullpen on Friday and yesterday, and their

1123
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,800
bullpen's not super deep as it is. And then TV

1124
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,119
you made the point this year like the Dodgers bullpen,

1125
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,639
even though there's some good arms down there, hasn't really

1126
00:58:35,639 --> 00:58:38,679
fully got it together. I just wanted to answer the

1127
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,760
question of the chat. It's not something I'll play and

1128
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,599
I don't consider myself a great total Sandy kapper, but

1129
00:58:44,119 --> 00:58:46,599
I saw this only being eight and I said, you

1130
00:58:46,639 --> 00:58:49,960
know what, there there's probably some undervalue here because I

1131
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,679
do think you're dealing with two very good offenses, and

1132
00:58:52,719 --> 00:58:56,079
you also are dealing with two pitchers that will will

1133
00:58:56,239 --> 00:58:58,679
put the ball in the air a couple go out

1134
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:01,000
might not be that difficul to get to eight. So

1135
00:59:01,039 --> 00:59:04,000
that's that's my very slight lean on this one. And

1136
00:59:04,039 --> 00:59:07,599
I wanted to answer the question in the chat. We

1137
00:59:07,679 --> 00:59:10,480
have like a ton of live viewers, which we very

1138
00:59:10,559 --> 00:59:13,239
much appreciate, so thank you guys all for showing up.

1139
00:59:13,239 --> 00:59:15,519
And you know, I think we can run a couple

1140
00:59:15,559 --> 00:59:18,039
of minutes longer today and in because we've got such

1141
00:59:18,039 --> 00:59:21,119
a great live audience. So we still need to lock

1142
00:59:21,119 --> 00:59:23,519
in a parlay Brian Leonard, have we talked about your

1143
00:59:23,519 --> 00:59:25,000
parlay leg or do you want to bring up a

1144
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,280
different game to talk about here?

1145
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 3: Actually, let's let's go to Brandon, because neither one of

1146
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,920
us to put in our parlor yet yet.

1147
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I'm gonna go with the Brewers for my

1148
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,920
parlay leg. And it's because Woodriff is a better picture

1149
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,440
than Rodriguez. The Brewers are trying to win their division,

1150
00:59:45,079 --> 00:59:50,920
not locked up quite yet. And man Wood, I thought

1151
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,719
I was expecting to see him be a little bit

1152
00:59:54,079 --> 00:59:56,719
slacking when when when he has so much time off,

1153
00:59:57,119 --> 01:00:00,800
he's just hit the ground running. He's been great Rodriguez

1154
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,719
has a five plus. The ra Diamondbacks are playing for stats,

1155
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,760
They're not really playing for anything else, and they're bullpens

1156
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,760
not performing well. So give me the Brewers here. From

1157
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:14,039
my parlay, leg I think it's minus one eighty.

1158
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 3: You can get a little bit better than that. I

1159
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,840
won seventy three right now.

1160
01:00:20,159 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: And I'll let I mean, we'll talk about the game.

1161
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,760
Go ahead, Brian, give us your opinion Brewers, d Bacs.

1162
01:00:25,559 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 3: My only concern is the Brewers don't need to win.

1163
01:00:29,559 --> 01:00:34,000
They talked about yesterday. I had the Brewers and they

1164
01:00:34,119 --> 01:00:36,920
it was it was Bob Yogre day, and everybody wanted

1165
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:38,920
to win for Yocre and it was just a bad

1166
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:42,679
decision by the manager to keep the closer in there

1167
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,559
when he did, and that last mine because it was

1168
01:00:44,559 --> 01:00:47,480
clear he didn't have anything. So he ended up losing

1169
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,760
that in the ninth inning. But the games don't mean

1170
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:52,800
as much for Milwaukee right now. That's my only concern.

1171
01:00:54,159 --> 01:00:56,360
I'm going to unless you have anything to point out

1172
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,119
on this, I'll just go to one of my my

1173
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,079
parlay think trick.

1174
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, go go ahead, bring up your game. That's fine.

1175
01:01:03,039 --> 01:01:04,960
I really don't have much on dbacks for receiving.

1176
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, since both of you guys give up pretty big favorites,

1177
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,599
I've got to come in and take something with a

1178
01:01:11,599 --> 01:01:15,039
little bit more to give us a little bit on this.

1179
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,880
There's there's three games I'm considering. One is Cabrera with

1180
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:23,639
Miami against Stryder, one is Tampa Bay with Seymour against Biby,

1181
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,079
and the other one is the Angels with Soriano against

1182
01:01:27,159 --> 01:01:31,880
the ground. Now, I can get the bigger number with Soriano,

1183
01:01:32,039 --> 01:01:34,480
but I think I'm gonna go with Tampa Bay with Seymour.

1184
01:01:34,519 --> 01:01:39,000
He's a lefty and Cleveland overall does not hit the

1185
01:01:39,079 --> 01:01:42,280
lefties as well as righties. And they haven't seen him,

1186
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:46,199
they don't know anything about him, and he's looked really

1187
01:01:46,239 --> 01:01:49,000
good so far. He's got a limited and obviously he's

1188
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,280
only thrown twenty three innings. But if you get a

1189
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,440
lefty up there, and I've talked about this before, if

1190
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,880
the teams haven't seen he's twenty six years old, so

1191
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:00,519
he's not like a great prospect for them, But teams

1192
01:02:00,599 --> 01:02:02,440
tend to struggle, and if you take a look at

1193
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:07,159
teams that are struggling Cleveland's offense, Cleveland's the last two

1194
01:02:07,199 --> 01:02:11,199
weeks has a fifty two WRC plus the next versus

1195
01:02:11,199 --> 01:02:15,719
Houston is sixty nine. Cleveland's offense is terrible. Now they're

1196
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:17,199
going they're out of the playoffs. They only have a

1197
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:21,480
five percent chance to make the playoffs, and I just

1198
01:02:21,559 --> 01:02:24,000
don't want any part of Cleveland. The last nine games

1199
01:02:24,079 --> 01:02:27,360
Cleveland's played, they scored five runs or more ones. You

1200
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,320
don't score five runs in Major League Baseball, you don't win.

1201
01:02:31,119 --> 01:02:34,400
And so give me Tampa Bay here. We lost some value.

1202
01:02:34,519 --> 01:02:36,800
You could have gotten a lot better number of over

1203
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:38,960
the course of the night. But we've got to play

1204
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,440
with what we have right now. So we could get

1205
01:02:41,679 --> 01:02:44,440
basically a one plus one oh five on Tampa Bay.

1206
01:02:44,519 --> 01:02:47,960
That's what I'm going to use, just because I'm looking

1207
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:53,280
to fade Cleveland team that's had higher expectations. And it

1208
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:57,920
didn't help when when Bieber goes out for Toronto and

1209
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:02,159
pitches fantastic and they get traded him away during the break.

1210
01:03:02,239 --> 01:03:04,280
So that's gotta be a little bit hurting for them

1211
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,960
right now, going any part of my hometown team. So

1212
01:03:08,039 --> 01:03:11,000
I'll play Tampa Bay as part of the par like her.

1213
01:03:13,119 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll I mean, I'll just jump in on this

1214
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,079
one quick this because I do have an opinion about

1215
01:03:17,079 --> 01:03:20,400
this game. Ian Seymour. This is another guy that, for

1216
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,719
whatever reason, the Rays kind of was like, hey, we'll

1217
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:25,280
call you up and we'll throw you in the bullpen,

1218
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,119
even though that's really not what we had you do

1219
01:03:27,679 --> 01:03:30,000
all the way, you know, leading up to the big leagues.

1220
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,639
I mean, Ian Seymour last year, this year at Triple

1221
01:03:32,679 --> 01:03:34,880
A when he was there was one of was arguably

1222
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,480
the top starter in Triple A when he was there. Now,

1223
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,519
obviously like guys come in and out, but I had

1224
01:03:40,599 --> 01:03:42,519
him ranked one for a good portion of the early

1225
01:03:42,559 --> 01:03:45,280
part of this season and then it's like, I don't know,

1226
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,119
the Rays kind of decided, hey, I guess we need

1227
01:03:47,159 --> 01:03:50,119
another bullpen arm. They threw him in that spot at

1228
01:03:50,119 --> 01:03:52,239
Fenway Park earlier this year and he like got out

1229
01:03:52,239 --> 01:03:53,639
of the big jam to get them a win, and

1230
01:03:53,679 --> 01:03:56,360
I don't know they maybe they said, well, we you know,

1231
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,480
maybe we can use them out of the bullpen. I

1232
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,880
didn't love that for him. I didn't think that that

1233
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:04,239
was the best scenario for him. You know, we talked

1234
01:04:04,239 --> 01:04:07,519
about last Friday the Pirates doing it with Ashcraft, and

1235
01:04:07,559 --> 01:04:10,119
then they did it with Chandler, you know, kind of

1236
01:04:10,199 --> 01:04:12,840
now they're gonna do it with Chandler. So I don't

1237
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,559
know if some organizations have different sort of mindsets when

1238
01:04:15,559 --> 01:04:17,480
it comes to like bringing up a young guy, maybe

1239
01:04:17,519 --> 01:04:20,079
letting him get acclimated down in the bullpen. But I

1240
01:04:20,119 --> 01:04:21,719
think people are going to look at this and say, well,

1241
01:04:21,719 --> 01:04:23,920
he got pounded by the Yankees last time out. Yeah,

1242
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,559
he had a bad outing three six inning or six

1243
01:04:26,679 --> 01:04:30,480
runs on six hits over three innings. This guy shouldn't

1244
01:04:30,519 --> 01:04:33,519
be coming out of a bullpen. Ian Seymour's starting pitcher. He's

1245
01:04:33,559 --> 01:04:35,599
going to be a starting pitcher in this raised rotation,

1246
01:04:35,719 --> 01:04:38,519
So I actually think he's going to be like that.

1247
01:04:38,599 --> 01:04:40,760
This is the opportunity he's been waiting for here to

1248
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,320
get a start, and I think he you know, can

1249
01:04:43,719 --> 01:04:45,840
I mean the guardians, what else do we have to say?

1250
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,559
They haven't hit anyone or anything, and can't imagine they've

1251
01:04:49,599 --> 01:04:52,000
seen much of Seymour. So, Brian, I think it's a

1252
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,199
good call. I absolutely see some value on the race there.

1253
01:04:55,559 --> 01:04:56,519
Speaker 2: I agree with that too.

1254
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: All right, can you let us know because some of

1255
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:02,719
these might have moved, but we haven't locked in yet,

1256
01:05:02,719 --> 01:05:06,119
so we've got Tiger's Brewers raised as a parlay. Can

1257
01:05:06,119 --> 01:05:07,760
you give me lines on each of them so I

1258
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,079
can quote appropriate price here.

1259
01:05:10,719 --> 01:05:14,639
Speaker 3: Okay, Tigers other than Pinnacles still at that one to

1260
01:05:14,679 --> 01:05:17,280
eighty one. They're holding there unless there's the problem. But

1261
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,320
everybody else is back up in the two hundred range,

1262
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:24,679
so we're looking at about two dollars. Detroit Milwaukee is

1263
01:05:24,719 --> 01:05:28,400
about a one seventy three, and Tampa Bay is a

1264
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:29,440
plus one oh five.

1265
01:05:31,559 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 1: All right, so we got Brian got a little plus

1266
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,239
money in there to kick bath. It's not as bad

1267
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,920
as I thought. Plus that that's a that's three ninety

1268
01:05:39,599 --> 01:05:42,159
plus three ninety. Obviously get it's gonna give or take,

1269
01:05:42,199 --> 01:05:44,960
you know, shop around on the parlays, but uh yeah,

1270
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,760
we'll we'll take that. I thought it was gonna be worse.

1271
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:51,760
So plus three ninety for the parlay. We've got Tigers

1272
01:05:52,119 --> 01:05:55,920
for me, Brewers for Tokyo branded, and then the raise

1273
01:05:56,039 --> 01:05:59,559
for for Brian Leonard. Very simple three sides today, Tigers

1274
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:05,400
Brewers raise. That's the three teamer. That's plus three ninety. Wow.

1275
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,280
We had a ton of live viewers today, so we
