Speaker 1: All right, we are live. It is Friday. It is
time for total basis. I was joking with the boys
off air. The last week made me realize that I
don't have many hobbies outside of this. I've been bored
as hell. I was on college basketball message boards for
the past couple of days and I'm like, what am
I even doing here? It's July, thrilled to have baseball back,
and I got to bring this point up and then
we'll bring you guys in and start talking about this.
Robert s makes a point that I thought about this
morning where I just couldn't believe this, and he's right.
How can you have a four day break and return
on Friday morning with eight teams that don't have a
starter listed or eight Like there's literally four or five
games that aren't even listed at most books right now
that don't have a lineup because they don't know who
their starter is. And yeah, how is that possible? That's
that's frustrating. I know I have holes in you know,
my list here because certain teams haven't figured out a
starter yet yet they've had a week to do it.
Have you guys noticed that as well? Have they popped
at your books? And any any thoughts there.
Speaker 2: Well, the thought is during the first half of the season,
or once the second half gets going, they have their
rotation and everybody likes to pitch on their certain day
five days off, six days off. So if you followed
Stridery yesterday, you know that the guy after him is
so and so. So that's the way it is the
Ringer season. But when you get the break, let's say
your fifth starter is due to pitch you don't want
to start the second half of your fifth starter. That
means he's going to get one more start than he
should get. Sure, So then you switch back and you
go from you know, from your one to year five,
but even a lot of times depending on who you
match up with. Just on that first series. Well, let's
say you're playing a team that's really good against lefties. Well,
you may not want to start your lefty against him.
You might, I mean, he may be your third starter.
You're moving back to the four starter. So I see
what it is. It's just frustrating where you don't know
exactly who it is. The Yankees really, I don't know
who they're gonna what they're gonna do, because they've got
free is injured or came back from an jury. He's
got a blister, so he's probably gonna start. But if
the blister is bothering him, maybe he doesn't start today.
Who knows.
Speaker 3: I'm seeing the Angels, Reels, and Yankees the only teams
that don't have their starters list. I see ever the
team with a starter.
Speaker 1: I think they've started to pop up. I know, like
an hour ago to maybe seven thirty am, when I
was really kind of making my first yeah, like real
pass through it, I noticed quite a few without without starters.
But yeah, I miss I missed doing the show. I
missed baseball.
Speaker 3: I missed doing a show. But the four days gave
me a chance to kind of put my stats in
a nice format. So I put them downloadable free on
my page on wage of talk dot com, so you
guys can go do that and use it for your dfs.
That's how I filled my time. Brian, did you actually
talk to your wife?
Speaker 2: I actually uh downloaded that and it was it looks
really nice. I had to talk to my wife because
it was my thirtieth anniversary over the weekend.
Speaker 3: So Okay.
Speaker 2: Went out and had a nice dinner ands off show.
So it was very nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's nice to take a break
and stuff, but I'd rather be doing this that just
just straight up rather be doing this, I'd rather figure
out these games, even if we have starters or not.
I will say this, And as we go into the
first game that we're gonna cover, Markinzho wants to cover
Guardians A's that's when we have starters for and I
think we're all gonna kind of have opinions on that,
so we're gonna kick off with that one. But I
will say, like I approached the three days out of
the break similar to I approached the three days into
the break, because you'd never really know who's gonna come
out ready to rock and who might be still sleeping
a little bit. So I always find this week and
particularly very interesting, and I'm willing to I kind of
tread a little lightly kind of the same way as
I go into the break. I didn't even make a
play on Sunday for that reason, and I'll be pretty
tight here because of that. So Brian Leonard, let's go
to you a team that you know, I would say
started to play well going into the break, Your Cleveland Guardians.
They're now at home as a favorite against the West Sacramento.
As you went to this series out in Sacramento, now
they're back in Cleveland. How are you approaching this one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I just want to touch on something about
starting the second half. You mentioned the way the first
half ended. That's Sunday, and I said this going in.
Unfortunately we didn't have a show that day, so I
probably should have tweeted it out. But your last day
like that is very similar to your last day at school.
You just can't wait to get out of there. The
umpires want to get home, the players want to get home,
and two thirds of the games went under. I think
we're going to have something very similar today. So you
have you have hitters who haven't hit in four or
five days. They are creatures, I have it or whatever.
A lot of the pitchers who made the All Star
team starters did not take the time to go to
the game. They wanted to, they wanted to rest up
for today's start. And the other guys have already been
rested from a starting standpoint, and all the bullpen's are rested.
So this if you like to play an unders, this
is a great way to do so. Unfortunately, this was
probably gonna be my best bet. When I went to
bed last night, these lines have been up for a
day or so, so it was easy to tell who's
gonna play. But I I wanted to play this game
under it was eight and a half. I said, this
is going to be my best bet on today's show.
And here we go with the with the line movement
is down now down to eight everywhere. I actually it's
leaning a little bit towards eight under. Cleveland's about a
one thirty favorite in this game. So everybody saw the
same thing as I did. Didn't get out to clients
soon enough, and I that's my own fault there. But yeah,
we've got JP series going, and uh, he's one of
the guys that should give Cleveland problems. He's a lefty,
comes in with a four point seven to nine e
RA not very good but expected dras four. His whip
is one point two five And you had mentioned when
they played Cleveland last time he went at home, he
went five innings, gave up three earned runs. I was
at that game and he was pitching very well. Then
he kind of fell apart. A couple of walk, a
couple of questionable calls by the ops and then he
got shaken a little bit. So I think I'll come
back and pitch a better game here. He's a high
he's a flyball pitcher. He's only in the four percent
ground ball percentile, so that's that's not good. But for
the most part, unless you hit it in the right
center field, the ball is just normal here in in
Cleveland for the for the weather or affixes me for
the home run power in that one, but we also
have going for Cleveland as Slay Chaconi, he's been good
since he's come back. He's got three point four four
ERA four point seven six expected, so maybe a little
lucky with one point two seven. But he can be hit.
If you take a look at his average exonvilastly fourth percentile,
chase percent four percentile, or hit rate fourth and barrel seventh,
that's not what you're looking for. His numbers look pretty
good this year, and I've actually watched him, he's been good.
He's usually a guy who doesn't walk batters. He's walking
seven point eight percent right now, but he's a big
streckout to walk guy. He's up a sixteen point three,
which is better than the league average, So I like
the under in this one, but unfortunately my clients aren't
going to get it because lost the eight and a half.
Speaker 3: So I was told I should only drink fireball when
I have something to celebrate. I just won two kbo bets,
so I'm going to celebrate for a minute, and oh
that's so good. Regarding this game, I have the A's
kind of better at everything, but just a little bit better.
I mean, they're bullpen performing better. But you guys know
you guys know me. I'm big on current form, and
after a four day break, current form doesn't really mean
as much. These guys are creatures of habit and everything
is very They're very fluid, so after a four day
break kind of don't know what to expect.
Speaker 1: I do know that the A's have a.
Speaker 3: Little bit better hitting and a little bit better bullpen.
I also know that Taconi has really bad numbers at
home for some reason. His era is quite bad. JP
Series does not have good numbers against these batters. But
I don't want to take an over because, like some
people are saying in the comments, hitters are still a
little bit in vacation mode and pitchers are all rested,
so generally I would look to unders today, but I
don't know if I'm gonna do an under in this game.
The A's they were crushing the ball right before the break.
The Indian or the Guardians weren't. A's bullpen is a
little bit better. If anything, I'd go with A's, but
I'm probably gonna lay off it today.
Speaker 1: That's how I feel too. I think there's some value
here on A's money line plus one twenty. You know,
they're the type of team where just the makeup of
the A's this year, a lot of young kids, a
lot of kids in their first full big league season,
some in their first big league season at all. You know,
guys like Nick Kurtz, and you know, Jacob Wilson came
up for a little bit last year. But like I think,
I think I've talked about it a couple of times
at this point, like they're the type of team that's
gonna They're gonna be streaky, They're gonna sort of like
it's gonna snowball in one direction or the other. And
I don't think that they like suffer from a few
days off, because I don't know that half of that
team even knows what their approach is yet right, like
like they they haven't even figured out their routine. They're
just young kids that are happy to be up playing
Major League Baseball and a lot of other organizations. They
might not even in the beat, be in the big
leagues yet if they were behind more season players, more
veteran players. So the A's are the type of team
where they roll into this series. I kind of agree
with you, Tokio Brandon. I don't think there's that big
of a difference between the A's and the Guardians that
that's how out I am on the Guardians as a whole.
Certainly the Guardians are gonna win more games than the
A's this year, but I'm talking about the the caliber
of team that's on the field is not that different.
And so you're talking about coming into a spot where
neither team has played for four days. The Guardians maybe
so of you know, they had some momentum before the break.
Maybe they've lost it. But when you go back to
the price being that you're getting plus one twenty, I
still have Seers rated a little bit higher than Seconi.
The one other thing I'll throw out to you guys,
Slaveezecconi spent a lot of time at Reno. Okay, the
last couple of years in the Diamondbacks organization. So there's
ten teams in the PCL. All of these guys in
the A's lineup have seen him a ton, because I
mean they'll play, I mean they play every single time
Vegas plays Reno, They'll they'll see Seconi at least once.
So there's probably a huge sample size here for the
the A's hitters against Seconi. That's probably not you know,
it's not at the big league level, so you're not
gonna hear about it. But I bet these A's hitters
top to bottom have seen him a ton. And he's
not the type of guy that's really you know, if
you've got a beat on him, you're gonna be able
to hit Slade Cecconi. So A's money line is the
way I'll go here, And as I talk about it,
I start to like it even more. But I'll go
to Ethan's comment Versut, Yeah, this is a very challenging
weekend last weekend, coming into the break, this weekend, coming
out of the break, Ethan, I agree with you. It's
as challenging of a a week as you're gonna find
in the entire MLB schedule. So but I do think
there's some value there with the a's and uh, we'll
move on. So titan ct says, can we discuss Brewers?
This was one that I don't think many places had
aligned for, but I think it's probably I think it's
probably popping up right now. Yeah, Brewers Dodgers, we got
to get this one in. On the show, someone asked,
who's the pitcher here? My guess is if it's it's
either Quinn Priester or it's Quinn Priester as the bulk guy.
I know last time around they put Hall in front
of him and Priester it seems to work. So Brian Leonard,
I'll go to you Brewers Dodgers. They really like putting
Priest in this bulk roll and he seems to be
able to give him five six good innings every time
they set it up that way for him. So, uh,
I thought there was a little value here on the Brewers.
But do the Dodgers wake up to start the second half?
Is the question. We'll go to you.
Speaker 2: That's what we talked about it. And to get back
to the last question, I think the game the week
going into the break is worse. That's the one, and
you know, for the most part, and I think we
all struggled that week. But this one, this one, I
don't think is that difficult, as long as you know
who's going to pitch, and to me, the best way
to know is when all the teams are equal. We've
talked about the bullpens. All the teams in the bullpens.
They might have pitched in the All Star Game, Pitch
one and whatever, but for the most part, all the
bullpens are equal, so you you know that that's given information,
and if you've been keeping up on the bullpens, you
know who's good and who's not. And obviously Brandon does
that with his numbers in this one. The line is
glass now basically about a one eighty five and lines
eight and a half glass knocking back. They pitched one
time since he's been back from being injured. It looked
pretty decent in that game. So you got two pitchers
here that preachers really having a pretty much of a
breakout year. Three point five to five e r a
three point seven three expected one point twenty five on
the whip, very good ground ball rate ninety fifth percentile.
That's a very good number to have when you play
the Dodgers, who are very similar to the Yankees in
many ways where they home runs mean so much to
this team. The Yankees have always been one that at
least last decade is very important to them. They been trouble,
that's why they're go on such as slump sometimes and
are very streaky. That's something to take a look at.
And as for his opponent today, Glass now, good picture
when he's healthy, great picture many times when i's healthy,
but he's not always healthy. His career ARRA is three
point eight zero after ten seasons. Each of the last
three years as the ARA is basically the same three
point five two, three point four nine, three point five
to three. You know what you're gonna get out of him.
His whip this year is a little bit high at
one point two two. Great extension. He's a one hundred
percent tall extension, so he's six foot eight and that
ball gets on you in a hurry, and then it
makes all his numbers look really well this year so
limitus sample size, but a chase percent, walk percent and
barrel percentage and not been very good. He's only pitched
twenty three innings, but He's a guy that when he's
in a lineup, I like to back him. Because of
his injuries. He's not one of the bigger name pitchers
in baseball, but if you follow baseball, you know how
good he is looking at the line in this game.
As I mentioned last now eighty five and eight and
a half, I would tend to the under in this game.
I think glass now WI give him a good four
to five innings. You probably want six. But with all
the bullpens there, we've got anybody that can use. And
these are two teams who, hey, may see each other
in the playoffs, so this is a big series. They're
gonna want to try to intimidate the opposition if they
do play in the playoffs. So I expect pitching to
roll this series.
Speaker 3: So here's another thing I did over the break. I
don't know if you guys can see it. I got
a new Neon sign there that says Tokyo Brandon. Is
that cool or what? So? Uh, yeah, things are good.
So people are asking me to share my strikeout projections
for some pictures, just go to my page at waygertalk
dot com. I have all my strikeout projections for all
the pitchers who were listed as of yesterday. Some of
them popped up today that are not on the list.
But if you go download that, it's easier than me
checking it and putting it in the chat. I don't
mind doing that, but you know, anyways, regarding this game,
the I bad mouth the Royals about eight shows ago,
and since I'm sorry, the Brewers and since then they
have been like wildfire. Since that series against the Mets,
I have them ranked better than the Dodgers at everything.
But again, my numbers are very My numbers are very
current form reliant, and there's really no current form after
you've taken a four day vacation, so my numbers, I'm
not trusting my numbers very much right now. Give me
two games or so to get them back on track
to catch a little rhythm there. But I do have
the Brewers doing better at everything than the Dodgers. One
thing interesting here is Glassnew's numbers against the Brewers are impeccable,
but I think most of those were acquired when he
pitched for the Rays, probably probably not as a Dodger.
So again, sometimes when you look at face head to
head matchups between pitcher and batters, it was in a
totally different situation in a totally different stadium. I mean,
the Rays aren't even playing in the same stadium that
he was pitching in and the Dodgers. I mean, now,
when a pitcher has a good lineup behind him, he
tends to get a little more motivation to pitch. I
think last NW is gonna have a good second half
of the season.
Speaker 1: I agree with.
Speaker 3: Brian, though, I think this one will probably go to
the under. I think we'll see a couple of lineups
that are a bit stale after a break and got
two really good pictures, so I would think an under
in this one.
Speaker 1: I like the Dodgers here, and I would not be
surprised if the Dodgers slap Milwaukee around all weekend. This
feels like like the more I think about it now,
I did think there might be some value like plus
one and a half on the Brewers, like, but when
the line came out and I was looking at it,
and the more I sort of look at this, I
know I probably contradicted when I said opening this play.
But the more I look at this, I realize Milwaukee's
one of those teams that might really get hurt by
the by the break. I mean they were They've been
a little streaky this year. They go into the break
winning seven straight games as hot as they can possibly be.
They sweat the Dodgers, So now they go to Dodger Stadium.
But what I'm thinking about as you two are talking,
that kind of has me maybe flip from okay like Brewers. Yeah,
there's gonna be some line value on the Brewers here,
no question. But wanting to maybe play against that or
not wanting a part of the Brewers is the fact
that they just smacked around LA last week and now
they're heading out there, And I do think there's some
merit to like something Brian said the last couple of
weeks where you know, the Dodgers kind of go through
the motions. Now they come out of the All Star Break,
and there's got to be like some sort of like hey,
all right, it's time now, right, Like there's two months
of the season left. You guys are the best team
in the league. Go show it. Sean's correct. I think
we'll get the full compliment of Glass now pitches here.
I think he was pretty much full in that last
start at Oklahoma City, and then there was probably a
conversation like why push it going into the break when
you know what I mean, Like we're gonna go into
the break, you know you're gonna get some extended rest here.
So it makes sense that this would be like the
shackles are off type thing ninety to one hundred pitches.
And that is again like if he's on, Like if
you watched his last start, the stuff was there, he
walked a couple of guys. But I think if he's
like back to even close to what he should be,
I mean, this could be like a six to seven inning,
very strong outing for him, and that should put the
Dodgers in position to win. So contradict myself at the
open here, but I do still think see two things
can be true. I do still think there's gonna be
some number value on the Brewers in this series, but
I won't be taking that number value. I think. I
think the Dodgers are probably I think you're gonna see
the beast wake up over the next couple of weeks here,
and so I won't be going against that. So I
think it would be Dodgers or pass for me. Here.
Let's talk about another team that was hotter than the
sun going into the all Star break, and that's the
Boston Red Sox. Who you know, they got a lot
of got a lot of heat for the Devs trade,
but uh, they've played much better than the Giants since
that trade, Like win loss record is much better than
San Francisco since that trade. I don't think that has
anything to do with Devers, Brian Leonard. I think that's
just you know, getting like guys like Roman Anthony getting
a few, you know, few weeks under their belt at
the big league level. That is the future. This team
is gonna be good, like they were probably always gonna
be good without Devors going forward. And so listen, you
can criticize how that happened. Certainly, if they shopped at
around they probably get a little bit more in return.
But I feel like the odds makers really held that
against the Red Sox for like a couple of weeks,
like held it against the team that was on the field.
Their front office maybe made a questionable treat. This Red
Sox team's very good. Roman Anthony's going to be a superstar,
and I love the way this team is playing going
into the break. So my question to you is now
that they have the the day game on the road,
at Wrigley to open up the second half. Do they
get sort of stunted by the days off and maybe
not carry them. They're momentum into this weekend. How are
you seeing Red Sox Cubs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when a team is on a big winning streak,
last thing they want to do is take some time
off and get away from it. It definitely makes plays
a factor in my mind. I want a team that's
focused coming out of the break. Boston on that big
winning streak there, Pat and Sasse as Marko would say,
And it's usually a team that you can make money
on because the lines are going to be more inflated
because everybody knows who the hot teams are, and you've
now had four days for that to sink into everybody is, hey,
you know, I didn't realize. You know, especially if you
if you're a casual fan you just watch the All
Star Fest, is you don't follow the standings, Maybe right
now you see, hey how about this Boston team? So yeah,
that's what you have to go take a look at.
And Gilido's going against Ray here. Ray's about a one
twenty eight favorite line total open eight and a half
under fifteen, and now it's we're seeing so many eighths
to the over twenties, so a little bit bet on
the under in this one. For Gilito, he's been you know,
talking about hot. You know, it's kind of gone under
the radar how well he has done. He's only had
one bad start and with the last let me check
out his game locks here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, since the Angels game when when I called for
him to be DF eight and sent out of the organization,
so I'll take the l there, I was like, they
got to they got to send him away. And he's
been awesome ever since that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's gone six six, six, seven, seven point
two six, giving up zero zero two zero one zero runs.
He's been terrific. His extensions eighty fifth percentile, so it
gets right on. He's six foot six also, another one
of these tall guys, get right on you.
Speaker 1: But some of his numbers are.
Speaker 2: A little weak. Expected batting average tenth percentile, heart hit
rate twenty second because of velocity eighteenth. The weather, it's
it's this typical day in Chicago. It's not overly coming
in or going out, blowing in their out. So it's
your normal day in Chicago. And so we'll see how
that goes. Colin Ray is doing very well this year,
although some of the aggressions come in later on the
last few starts. Three point nine to one ERA, four
point ninety five expected, one point two six whip. His
walk rate eighty first percentile, doesn't walk a lot of people.
He's only walked six per nine innings as of right now.
That's a percentage is six percent, which is about two
and a half percent lower than the league average. But
he gets hid a lot too, a lot of blue
on his profile. So we've got two teams coming in
here off the break, obviously you have to worry about that.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And a lot of the Boston players are younger. A
lot of these guys just coming up now, and they're
they're all coming up together, really about four or five guys.
This is their first All Star break in the major leagues.
It's a little bit different than in the minors. We
still have it at the same time, but obviously this
means more because now they're a star. They're playing in
the major leagues. So some concerns that way. Boston, and
excuse me. While Boston ended the first half red hot,
the Cubs kind of faded a little bit and there
was a lot of talk earlier, and I still think
so that the Cubs are other than the Dodgers, that
probably the team to be in the National League. I've
got more to prove here. Kind of likes them a
little bit here going against the streak, and I see
a little bit of value on the covers with three.
Speaker 3: It's time to celebrate because we're gonna do a promotion
and I think Brian's gonna have plays out. Adam should
have plays out. I already have a playout. So go
to our pages at wagertalk dot com and get some
of our plays. That's worth celebrating, So take a shot
and get some of our plays today. We also put
free plays up almost every day, so go grab those
as well. So the way I'm looking at this, I
mean Dialedo, I was a little wary when he came
back this season because he didn't go through spring training
properly and everything. But he's vintage Giolito right now. I mean,
you can't argue with the fact that in his last
what five starts, he's gone six or more innings and
he hasn't given up more than two earned runs. He's
given up zero one, zero two zero zero in his
last five starts, and he's gone over six innings in
every single one. That's amazing stuff that you can't argue with.
He's got really good stats against these Cubs as well.
The only red flag when I look over this is
the fact that he's on the road he's not quite
as good as he is at home. No, take that back.
On the road he's got a one to nine to
five ERA and thirty seven innings, and at home he's
got a one to eight seven ERA in thirty seven
or thirty five innings. He's just as good on the road.
Give me Boston on the money line and I'll make
that my parlay leg as well. Let me see what
their odds are currently plus one twenty. Holy cow, Why
is Boston an underdog in this game? That makes absolutely
no sense. I have them better at everything. I have
their bullpen better, I have Giolito better, I have their
hitting better. Obviously, the Cubs have a power pack lineup,
no doubt about it. But again current form, it's a
little scary. You gotta bet something, though. I'll take Boston
on the money line for the parlet leg because I
have them better than the Cubs did everything, and gi
Alito just he's he's elite g Alito right now, in
my opinion, that's what.
Speaker 2: I'll see one twenties, but I see one fifteen's out
there for this.
Speaker 3: Okay, ESPN, Like we've said in past, Joe's ESPN's not.
Speaker 1: Really Yeah that I think the Red Sox have taken
a little of respected money in the last thirty to
forty five minutes, because that was was plus one twenty
everywhere about about a half hour ago, right right before
the show, I had that jotted down plus one twenty.
I agree with you that the value is on the
Red Sox for sure in this game. In my opinion,
I was a little bit surprised to see them as
big of an underdog as they are. I problem for
me here is like and I'm still gonna, I'm gonna
side with you here TV, just strictly based on the
price because Uz again like I'm gonna, I can't believe
ge Alito's done what he's done. I again, I have
to like I have to go back to I played
against the Red Sox in that game with the Angels.
Came on the show the next day and I was like, see,
I was I was right about gi Aledo, Get get
send him to the glue factory basically, and he's been
Sandy coofax ever since. Like it's's honest, thatly been incredible
to watch how good he's been. Problem is, I look
at like his some of his underlying metrics, and I
don't I don't see anything to support that being the
case going fo like good like going long term. So
we've had we've now had a first half and we've
seen Gilido be god awful and then we've seen a
run where he's been very very good. Now we've had
some time off. I don't think he's gonna be very
very good like he's been the rest of the year
because some of the underlying stuff suggests that he's not
gonna be doesn't have an elite fastball. He's spotting it
well right now, but none of his none of his
stuff elite. So what happens when he's not pinpoint anymore
and like he's you know, does this little layoff get
him out of his groove? If he gets out of
his groove, he's very hittable. If he's hittable against the Cubs,
they're gonna make him pey. Now the saving grace here
in this matchup is I think you can say say
a lot of the same things about Colin Rea, like
where he kind of lives on on that edge too.
Stuff isn't great if he's really not pinpoint, not hitting
his spots, like he doesn't get a ton of swing
and miss, and this Red Sox lineup, in my opinion,
is still very underrated. I think again. I think it
goes back to the Devors trade and this mindset that
everyone decided. When I say everyone, I mean the betting
market decided that the Red Sox just lost their best
hitter and now we need to price the market as such.
Red Sox traded away their best hitter, so we need
to ding this team in the in the you know,
are power ratings because their best hitter is now gone
and they got no him back to replacement, when in
reality they they're his replacement was internal. It was getting
guys like Roman Anthony Moore at bats. It was freeing up,
you know, freeing up space for William or Bray to
come back, moving Kristen Campbell back down to triple A
to figure things out, to get more at bats for
guys that are hitting. That was the other thing, the
Red Sox had a little bit of a of a
player crunch in the outfield there, and so it was
almost like addition by subtraction. So I really like the
Red Sox lineup and I like this team. So I'm
not gonna disagree with you. I gave my reasons why
I can't play it, but I certainly agree with the
value being on Red Sox at plus one twenty because
the Cubs, in my opinion, are trotting out almost the
same team today with Reya on the mound, and and
I think they are two similar lineups at this point.
Andy Lang's in the house. Shout out on Andy Lang.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's a parlay, I'm gonna change it to
Red Sox plus one and a half at minus one eighty.
Speaker 1: If that's okay, it's fine. And you know what, because
it's a parlay, I'm fine. Not because it's the road team.
I think you give yourself a much better chance to
cash that leg. I have no issues with that.
Speaker 3: What for the parlay, I wouldn't put that out as
a client play, but I will put it out as
a parlay leg.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I have that's a good point. If you're
gonna bet this game straight. I think you have to
either take the Red Sox on the money line or
find something else or pass. But for the the first.
Speaker 3: I don't want to ruin it on the morning game.
Speaker 1: It's fine. That's that's the way I would have gone
as well. Andy Lang, thank you, good to see you're
good to just have baseball back. Second half. Hope to
kick it off with a bang, and Brian and I
will be locking in parlay legs over the next thirty minutes.
We finished the first half on a little bit of
a swoon, but still he loved TV. Why don't you
you put the Tokyo Brandon Neon sign where the ass
Man license plate is? So then when when you're when
you're three boxed, you don't just see ass you see
the Neon time and that when you're full screen you
got the ass license plate down up.
Speaker 3: But I am ass.
Speaker 1: Well not this morning. If you if you went to
an hour right, you know.
Speaker 3: Don't shake your head, don't your head. I'm not ass.
Speaker 1: Appreciate, uh appreciate Andy tuning in. Make sure you're tuning
into Wager Talk today. Now that now that we got
football coming back, that show is going to be on
fire going forward. It's you know, it's gonna be a
go to for football season, and we are pretty close.
We're right around the corner, but we got a couple
of weeks left, so you guys are stuck with us
for a few weeks until until football really gets back
in the full swing. We're gonna move right along. Andrew
Wheeler had had a couple I'm gonna go to the
one everyone's gonna be interested in here. Andrew Whidler says,
I also like the Tigers today. I don't know who
he was replying to. I'm gonna guess it was Sean
that that would be my yes. I don't know if
that's who he was replying to. Maybe it was Colin.
Colin says, hate to say it, but good value on
the Tigers. Now, the Tigers were the team. I think
we talked about it on Friday, our most recent show,
which is Friday going into the break, that the Tigers
might be the team that exhales a little bit like
they've done more than enough, and maybe you don't get
their absolute full focus going into that break into the break,
and you certainly didn't. They were that. That was not
the Tigers team. You know, they kind of that that
just was not the Tigers team we saw all first
half in those three games against the Mariners, and you
know what, the Mariners needed those games. So I think
it's it's Brian Leonard. I'll say this, that series was
so much more important to the Mariners, especially after they
lost to the Yankees in the fashion that they did that.
It doesn't surprise me that the Mariners went in, were
more focused and got the sweep. AJ Hinch is not
going to allow that to happen to this team coming
out of the break. I think you're going to see
a focused Tigers team here and that's kind of the
way I'm looking. So Tigers Rangers will start with you
how you see in this one?
Speaker 2: Yeap might as well put it out now. The Tigers
will be my part of the parlay today. I do
like the Tigers here at the current line is about
about minus one oh eight, and to me, that's a
little bit of a bargain. As you mentioned the Tigers,
we said it, they were up by what thirteen to
fifteen games in that division and they were having a
kickwalk out of young guys that's not used kind of
success and all of a sudden, they're going to the
break and they're not playing well. And we've always we've
talked about the coaching staff here, a very good coaching staff.
They'll be ready here, especially when you think about the
All Star Game and all the Tigers players. Oh, these
guys on they they had more All Stars anybody else,
and all this other stuff that's all in the past.
Now the coach is going to let them know that, Okay,
you've gotten you've gotten your props for you've done so far.
This is the new second half to the season. I
think there's value here. Corby is going for Texas. He's
a lefty. Detroit is pretty good against lefties also, so
that's not much of a concern. The total is eight
and a half here, which is Yeah, makes sense to
me that one. I don't find any fault with the total.
When you take a look at riese Olsen, he's a
guy I like. He has not been that great this year.
Two point ninety five. He's not been two point ninety
five good. He's expected is three point eight three, So
in a whip with one point two far, he's got
a lousy extension average. X Filosophy has been getting hit
or hit right, obviously very similar. He does have a
great fifth percentage at eighty third percent talents chase right
seventy four, so you'll get people swing a lot of
those balls that are in the dirt, that kind of thing.
He's a picture I like, but he hasn't been quite
as good as what his numbers show. Patrick Corbyn four
point one five ERA four point six to one expected
is first under five expected since twenty nineteen, so obviously
pitching for teams he has has hurt that Washed is
a really good hitting ballpark, but his WEB one point
three to two. His accession is very good, seventy seventh percentile,
seventy third walk rate, seventh second chase rate, but he
does give up fly balls. He's in the twenty six
percentile of ground ball rate. Not a big strikeout pitcher,
twenty fifth percentile. His walk struck out myst walk rate
show on the on the season is eleven point nine.
League average is slightly less than sixteen. So I like
the Detroit side here. I think they'll get to Corbin.
And when it comes to the bullpens, that's something you
always have to take into account. But they're all healthy
and I've got no problem with the Trig's bullpen. I
like them better than Texas. Give me Detroit. I think
it's a very very fair number.
Speaker 3: Well, the way I see it, I got Texas hitting
better and I got their bullpen better than Detroit's. The
problem is the problem is is Olsen and Corbyn the matchup?
How does that match up? So I got a lot
of conflicting data here. I got Corbyn ranked way lower
than Olsen. But I have both of these pictures in
facing the other batteries. They both get clubbed like baby seals.
I mean they're just getting hammered by the other cheek.
They have ops is over eight point fifty for each
of them in their history against these teams. I think
this game is gonna go over. I like both lineups better,
I don't like either bullpen very much, So I think
we're going to see an over in this one, given
the pitchers passed against the batters and the fact that
neither bullpen was really performing before the All Star break.
So give me an over in this one. I'm not
sure if I'll play it. If it's eight and a half,
I might go for it, but I would go over
here than a side.
Speaker 1: Hopefully Pete is not in the chat, but you know
that's yeah, that's anyway. Here's here's the thing with the bullpens.
I'll talk about these bullpens because I've studied them a lot,
and the Rangers, their bullpen numbers are so good this year.
And I find it like fascinating that their bullpen as
good as it is because they really don't have leverage ups.
But what they do have is a collection of guys
that are all very good. So I think that the
Rangers having a good bullpen tends to be a little
bit misleading because their bullpen. I think the strength of
their bullpen is Okay, our starters at in the fourth, like,
we've got guys that are gonna get us to the eighth,
ninth inning, no problem. It's they don't really have a
guy at least right now, at least, no one has
really stepped up and taken the role in my opinion,
that is the guy you want out there in the
ninth inning or the tenth inning. Go back and look
at like the Rangers have played some decent ball. Go
back and look at like how poor they've been in
extra innings over the last month or so. It's because
they get like these inherited runner situations and they really
don't have like the lockdown guy at the end of
the game. The reason I think that that's important is
they're they're kind of this team that's like, I think
they're gonna be in a lot of close games. Their
offense is not such that they're I don't think they're
blowing many teams out this team. The strength of this
team is pitching. Starting pitching. Like if you go back
and look at the first half where they ranked, like
the reason that they're not fifteen games under five hundred
is because they've had elite starting pitching and the bullpen
has been very good and in the respect that they
eat up innings now and against a team like the Tigers,
who you're probably not gonna you know, if the Tigers
come in and they're focused, you're probably not gonna blow
them out. If you get into a scenario where you're
in a game where it's like coming down to the
eighth and ninth inning, you're not gonna out manage AJ Hinch.
You're not gonna out bullpen aj Hinch. So it's like,
I gotta lean Tigers here, and I hate to say
it because you know, Patrick Corbin's my guy, play New
York native right around the corner from me. He he
is going to regress, and I pulled Sewan's comment up.
I don't know that he's regressed quite to twenty twenty
four Corbyn, but but he is still getting some nice
swing and miss, and specifically I think against left you
know teams that struggle against left handed hit a pitchers.
Brian Leonard pointed out the Tigers are they handle left
as well, and if he's not getting that swing and miss,
I think he's gonna start get to get knocked around
a little bit. So yeah, this is a really good
spot for the Tigers and I probably would have thrown
it in the parlay if Brian, so I'm glad that
he got on that. I fully fully agree. All right,
let's move on. Let's go back to Andrew because this
was the other one I wanted to touch on. I
think this is an interesting matchup. I've got an opinion
here too, but we'll go to Brian Leonard first. He
says he's not a huge fan of Verlander. I'll admit
again I backed the Giants with Verlander for a five
percent in his first start out it was against the Guardians,
and I just kind of played the hunch that he
was going to show up ready to pitch, and the
time off was gonna we were gonna get a little
vintage Verlander out of that. I've watched him pretty much
every start since and and I'm almost ready to stick
the fork in in Brian, I think he might be done.
I don't know what do you think? And are you
are you willing to bet on that? Here is the question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not something I'm going to doing other than holding
my nose to do it, because yes, it's uh. He
has not done well. In fact, he's got zero wins
on the season. And I read something the other day
that for this far into the season, he's got more
innings in or more starts and has zero wins than
anybody else's. It's just strange how he hasn't gotten any support.
He hasn't pitched well either, But Bassett is the is
the going for Toronto about a one about one forty
favorite totals eight and a half here. Berlander on the
season comes in with a four point seven oh ERA
after a five point four eight last year. Last year,
maybe some excuses this year maybe she's getting old. Four
point eight two expected, the ra one point four two
with the last two years has went one point four
two one point three eight. That's what's given him problems.
He went in his prime, he would walk anywhere from
four to five batters a game. Now he's walking closer
to eight the last two years. His strikeout rate he's
gone down nineteen point nine this year, eighteen point seven
last year. Just three or four years ago it was
thirty three. So he's actually he's a guy that's trying
to hold onto his his career. And I don't blame
him for that. He's got a great life. You got
the hot wife, and yeah, life's good for Verlander. But
he's got to start producing, and this is a big,
really big game for him. I believe Bassett going for Toronto.
Chris Bassett to four point one two e A three
point eight one expected, one point three to five whip.
The last two years, his whip has been really high.
Last year is one point four to six. His walk
rate isn't bad six point three, in fact, is better
than league average by over two but he gives up
a lot of hits and his strikeout rate twenty two
point four, So he's a sixteen point one strikeout chwalk
ratio slightly better than league gabage average because of last
the eighty second percentile heartit rate eighty seventh. So he
keeps people off balance. And that's what you do when
you're a veteran of eleven seasons with eighty one career
wins gains twenty one win or twenty one games over
five hundred and I've always thought of him as being
a good pitcher, not a great pitcher. And you still
have a success for this one. For myself, in a
breakdown from the gambling standpoint, I don't want Verlander, but
yet you've got to think this is one of the
most important starts of his career. This is a team
that's trying to make the playoffs. Toronto the hot team
as opposed to some others coming out and coming into
the All Star Game, they were playing very good ball.
Could have a little bit of a letdown here, somewhat
like San Francisco, but probably the over eight and a
half is probably the better play here. In a day
that I like a lot of andres, I think this
will may go over.
Speaker 3: The only time. It's good to be oh and seven
is when you get to go home to kate Upton.
But aside from that, Verlanders away era is almost five
and Bassett's really good at home. So I give a
huge pitching advantage to Toronto. Here bullpen's pretty much even
and lineup obviously Toronto has a better lineup. What an
interesting thing about Verlander is is he's not pitching well
at all. He's oh and seven, but he's not really
walking that many people. I have his walks to strike
out ratio in the good range. I have Bassett in
the average range. But Verlander's not walking a lot of people.
He still has his command, but he's just getting tagged.
So pitching advantage Toronto bullpen no advantage either way. Both
bullpens will be rested, and so I think Toronto has
a bit of an advantage here. It's missus making a
client play for me by about a point and a
half here, But if I were to play it, it would
be Toronto.
Speaker 1: Me too. I just I'm so high on this Blue
Jays team that that's and I like the excuse me,
I probably like the Giants more than the next person,
but it yeah, it would be like So here's the thing,
So I follow Ben Verlander, that's Justin Burlander's brother on
social media, and he kind of he kind of pointed
out he's a baseball media guy, like he's he's in
the MLB media, So he kind of pointed out like
that that Justin Verlander has been pretty unlucky in some
of his starts, and and I'll say that, I mean,
he was very unlucky in that in that first start
back against the Guardians where he had a couple of
guys just not make plays behind him that led to
like almost all the runs in that game. But what
you can't hide from is the underlying metrics, right, Like,
whether you've been lucky or not, you can't hide from
the fact that he's giving up hard hit, the fact
that you know, he's not getting a ton of swing
and miss, the fact that his expected era is close
to five. Those are the things that like I think,
take luck out of it a little bit. So that's
where I'm just like, Okay, I had to go back
and look and say, yeah, yeah, maybe maybe the right
fielder in that start, you know, got like lost a
ball in the sun and then like the next hit
was an RBI single. Yeah, stuff like that's happened, but
we've got a big enough sample now since he's return
where like all the underlying numbers suggest he is what
he is at this point, Bassett, I mean, aside from
the fact that you know he throws ninety like you
know that he doesn't throw it like he doesn't give
you a ton of you Loo, he's been very very good.
Guys can't square him up. The location is awesome, and
so like for me Blue Jays is, it's kind of
a no brainer here. I just didn't like the price
minus one forty five is a little little too steep
for me. So from a matchup standpoint, I just I'm again,
I'm very much all in on Toronto being like I
think that they are are bordering on being like an
elite team in the American League. I felt that way
for you know, a couple of months now. I could
only go Jay's. I'm not going to do it because
of where the price is, but it would have to
be Blue Jay's for me. I gotta go back. I
just want to go back real quick till we get
to the next game, to something to the last game
we talked about, and I just want to put Chad
Picard made a comment that I forgot to touch on,
saying the Rangers are playing better right now. That's facts.
I couldn't help but think about Kevin Pillar when he
announced his retirement. If you if you heard him talk
when he announced his retirement, he basically came out and
in so many words said, like, no one on the
Rangers like hangs out with each other. Like basically everyone
just does their own thing and they have very little
calmaraderie in the clubhouse, to the point where he was like,
you know what, I probably would have gone till the
end of this year, but I'm just going to hang
them up right now because I'm just not having fun.
That is so concerning to me. Does that concern either
of you guys when you hear something like that, I'll
go to Brian first.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, anytime you get somebody to come out talking
bad about his team or good about his team, whatever,
you want to pay attention to that. Yeah, it's it's
been a team that's had some struggles, but they've not
got the short stop back. He's healthy. I would expect
about her second half out of Texas. But yeah, that's
kind of quote you'd like to get to me.
Speaker 3: Not so much. I mean, yeah, I mean on the field,
I don't know how much camaraderie really means. I mean,
if you really like your pitcher, you'll make an extra
effort to grab the ball for him or something like that.
But I mean, when these guys go on the road,
a lot of them do hang out together, and that aspect,
the off the field aspect, yeah, I think it would
make a difference for morale purposes, but on the field,
I don't know if it affects performance that much.
Speaker 1: Just an interesting thing. I thought, you know, guys had
such a long big league career, He's in what seems
to be an organization that's committed to winning, and then
you just hang him up. I know he was probably
you know, probably saw the writing on the wall that
he would have probably spent a lot of the rest
of the year down at Round Rock, and maybe he
didn't want to do that. But that comment was was
jarring to me.
Speaker 3: These guys don't want to go to the miners, that's
for sure, because you don't want to go around in
a bus when you're used to, you know, first class jets.
Speaker 1: Steven says, elite show again, gents, we appreciate you guys,
thank you Steven, and you know, give us those lights.
Subscribed comment on the YouTube channel Tokyo Brandon wants to
promote something. I know he does, so go.
Speaker 3: Ahead, I got I just got a question. Is is
our three Amigos special still valid?
Speaker 1: No? But I think the special that's up. So while
we're on the topic, I think right now there's an
all access special for all handicappers where they'll throw it's
basically just the month of August, but they'll throw in
the rest of July. So the sooner you get on that,
the more free days you're gonna get. Because July is
free and they're gonna run that special the rest of
the month. So you know, you buy it now as
opposed to next week, you're just getting yourself a free week.
So that is the sight wide special. It works for
any of us. It is get August and you get
the rest of July free. And right now that's over
two weeks free. So not a bad deal, not a
bad deal. All right, Let's go back to the chat.
Let's go to Rick Reynolds because Rick is curious to
hear our thoughts on the Mariners in the second half.
Is this the year they finally make a move for
a bat and take the division from Houston. And how
convenient they're playing Houston tonight, So we've got a nice
little segue here into that game, which is honestly probably
could have been at the top of the show for
sort of like Marquee matchup in terms of just like
that is a huge series. Brian Leinner Astros Mariners. I
think it's the last game on the board tonight. Maybe
a little bit of a degenerate special right here, at
least for us out on the East Coast. Ten o'clock start.
You want to answer Rick's question, and how are you
seeing Astros Mariners?
Speaker 2: As for the Mariners, they've got the pluses and minuses.
They haven't brought the guys they've brought in have not
worked out well. And uh so it's it's hard. It's
a hard place to hitten for the most part. But
you know, the weather situations bring your family to such Seattle.
It's it's sort of like here in Vegas. You know,
it's very, very very major weather situation you got to
take into account when you go to move there. But uh,
they've had some injuries to the starting pitchers early on
and they should be able to get those guys back
and pitching mornings in the second half, and that's what
they are. They're very good pitching team. So I would
expect the second half to be better. You've got your
You've got three key guys that should be back all
pitching in the next week here. So uh yeah, from
from a team standpoint, Now we'll see what kind of
a vent. For a betting standpoint, it all depends on
what kind of numbers we get. But for a team standpoint, yes,
I think they're gonna have a better second half. Current
number in this one, Walter is going for Houston, Castillo
for Seattle. Tittle's about a one thirty favorite total seven
and a half, which you would expect here in a
good pitching ballpark with a couple of decent starters. Walter
at the lefty, who's uh, who's done pretty well so
far this uh in his rookies or second season, but
he only pitched nine games out of the bullpen last year.
Uh three point nine eighty RA two point nine two expected.
That's why I say that he's pitched better with his numbers.
One point one whip is excellent. This is the guy
who doesn't walk anybody. This is one of the guys
that Tokyo Brandon loves, and that's Brandon Walter one point
two walk percentage league average is eight point four.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: He is not a guy that he's gonna he's gonna
make you beat him. And his fastball velocity is only
in the thirteenth percent. Title. Maybe eventually everybody will catch
up to him, but right now, walk right one hundred
percent title exsit velocity ninety six, Chase right ninety third.
This is a guy that I like. I like him
a lot. And when we got to Seattle, obviously we're
going with uh with the veteran and he's been okay.
Luis Castillo has been a guy that comes in with
a three point four one e ra A. He's been
solid on his era's. His career is three point five four.
He is expected though it was four point four five,
So he's been a little bit lucky. Whip one point
two far a little bit high. His track out of
right is what concerns me. He's been a major strikeout
guy in his career. Just let's go back to just
three years ago. His strike was twenty seven percent. It's
gone down to twenty four point three and this year
it's down to twenty point Spi doesn't have it. His
extensions only in the first percentile. So if you're losing
your strikeout pitch and you're giving them more time to
see that, that's not something I want to bet on.
Most of his stackcast numbers are in the blue and
blue is bad, red is good. So I prefer the
Houston side in this one, and you're getting them at
like I said before, about about one to eighteen on
the dog, that would be my preferred side in this game.
Speaker 3: So guys, I have broken down almost every starting pitcher
there hits projections, strikeouts, walks, projections, outs, projections, and that's
downloadable for free on my page wagertalk dot com. Also,
I'll be on Saturday tomorrow neon Eastern to break down
Saturday's games, so tune into that as well. Regarding this game,
I do agree with Brian that Brandon Walter is a
great pitcher. Earlier shows I was saying, well, we don't
have a sample size, Well we have a sample size now.
And Castillo he has great stats against the Houston Batters
in his career, but that's when he was a stud
and he's not that anymore. He's still a very solid pitcher,
but he's not the pitcher two years ago where he
would go seven innings every game and allow to or
less earned runs every single start. He's not that guy anymore.
He's more of an inning zeter now, a very reliable
innings zeater by the way. But he's like Brian said,
he's not the dominant guy that he used to be.
He's still a very good pitcher. But I like going
into the break though Seattle's bats were on fire. This
is the problem with the All Star break is teams
like Seattle are probably gonna cool off now. And I
do like Walter. The one thing that scares me and
going over all the stats and stuff, the first thing,
the first play I wanted to lean on. If you
download that sheet, you'll see I project Walter over seventeen
and a half outs recorded, and that's what it was
on DraftKings before the show was seventeen and a half.
The reason I'm not going to make that a play
is because his away stats are alarming. He's I think
a four to seven ERA on the road. No, it's
a five to sevent ERA on the road. Ryan's right,
he doesn't walk people. So even though he has a
five point sevent era on the road in twenty two innings,
he's only walked two guys in twenty two innings. That's amazing,
So you know, he's not gonna walk people. But given
the fact that Seattle was hot going into the break,
I don't know. I don't know if I can trust
him to go a full six innings here, so I
probably will lay off that play. But that's the where
I would go if I were to play it.
Speaker 1: So I will first address Rick's question about like Mariners
in general in the second half. I'm very much in
on this Mariners team. I've taken some positions on them
just you know throughout the season. I have Mariners to
win this division. I've got Mariners and this is not
something I've given out to clients, but I've talked about
it a bunch on the show. I have Mariners to
make the playoffs. I think they do that. I even
think if you can get four to one or better,
I have no issues with you jumping in on the
Mariners to win the AL to win the AL West.
I think when it came up last week TV, we
even said, like, you know, you shop around, there were
still six to ones out there. I think last week
when we talked about maybe last week or like ten
days ago, you could get six to one on the
Mariners to win that division when they were like six
games back. The specific question that was asked, can they
finally make a move for a bat? I think they
definitely can. They have one of the most unique trade
pieces that you're gonna find on the trade market, and
it's catcher Harry Ford, who's currently at Triple A. And
the reason that that's so like most teams, when you
have a catcher like Harry Ford who projects to be
a very good starting catcher in the big leagues, typically
you don't trade that guy, even even even for a
short term fix. But the reason the Mariners can really
consider doing that is because they got a guy named
cal Rawley who's not going anywhere for a very long time,
and they've already sort of messed around with Ford at
different positions, and I just don't think it's gonna happen.
I don't think he's the guy that you can really
make into an outfielder. You're probably not gonna dhim. So
I think what the Mariners should do and can do
is trade Ford, and they would basically be able to
fill any need that they wanted. So I think Rick
is implying that the need is another bat in the
middle of that order. Not only do they have him,
They've got like four other guys at Tacoma right now
that probably could be on a big league roster, Tyler Locklear,
Samad Taylor. There are all guys that that you know,
maybe on their own don't have a ton of trade value,
but like if you packaged a couple of them together,
they could absolutely get back the person that they wanted.
So to answer your question, I love the Mariners. In
the second half, they probably will finally make the splash
and get the guy that they want to provide some
protection to rally in that lineup and provide some pop,
and they can take the division from Houston in my opinion.
And so I'm not gonna play this game though. I
lean Mariners, but I'm not gonna put you off playing.
Even even if you can get four to one Mariners
to win the AL West, I think I still think
there's regression here for the Astros, even if they get
a little bit healthy. Brian, Sorry, did you have something
to follow up there. I didn't know if we're trying
to get in all right, we have reached the end
of the show. My parlay leg is a leg that
we've already discussed, and I'm gonna take a play out
of the Tokyo brand and playbook right here. I'm gonna
use A's plus one and a half. Brian Leonard, what
what's the juice on that?
Speaker 2: As plus one and a half minus two.
Speaker 1: Perfect, That's what I thought. Yeah, that's what minus one
eighty minus one. So basically the same as you know.
So TV and I are both going the route of
let's try to hit this parlay. Take the visiting team
and give ourselves that run cushion with the road team,
and then we'll let Brian Leonard give us the odds
with the Tigers. So today's show parlay first one of
the second half. Hopefully we kicked the second half off
with a win Tokyo. Brandon is on red Sox plus
one and a half full game. These are all full
game red Sox plus one and a half. I've got
the A's plus one and a half, and then Brian
Leonard has Tiger's money line that comes out to plus
three sixty six. I'll take that. We need to win,
and I think that I think this one. I think
if TV can get us through that first leg, we're
we're gonna cash this one. So but I mean, hey,
you're feeling You're feeling great right now, so I feel
like if you say Red Sox this afternoon, I feel
like that's gonna be it.
Speaker 3: So I'm feeling great.
Speaker 1: So that's it. Red Sox plus one and a half,
A's plus one and a half Tiger's money Line. We're
back to the normal schedule next week, Monday through Friday,
every day nine am for the rest of the season.
