Speaker 1: All right, guys, welcome in. It is time for Total Bases.
It's a two man show today, myself and Brian Leonard.
TV will be back tomorrow, but still plenty to talk about.
Who knows, maybe we'll get to most of these games
on the typical abbreviated Thursday slate. This is your go
to show for everything major League Baseball. We'll get we'll
go deep into the games, we'll get to some free picks,
but more importantly, we'll get you guys involved. So hop
in the chat, start firing off the questions and let
us let us know what we're talking about today. Brian Leonard,
we need some winners here in the parlay. Maybe we
can hit a two team or today that was a
you know, that was just a tough result raised guardians.
Speaker 2: It's looking like a win until the very end, and
it just you know that.
Speaker 1: I feel like we've had a couple of those in
the parlay where we get to, like the last leg.
A couple of nights ago, we were into the Tigers
for the last leg of the parlay. Three nothing Lee
with Tarik Schooble. What do we have to do to
get a parlay home here?
Speaker 2: I mean, come on now.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, if you watch the show, I like
the Tampa in the first half. I talked about that,
talked about Tampa and the game. They led the entire way.
The only time they were behind was when they lost
the game and extra innings. Yeah, two outs away. And
to top it all off, the one guy in the
Cleveland lineup who's been worse than everybody all season long
is the guy who hits the home run. So Nolan Jones,
thank you very much for being a Cleveland as a
Cleveland fan. No, thank you very much for costing us
our parlay. But that's the way it goes sometimes, and
you get to them. We have so many games for
talking about here, and there's so many different Like you
had Tampa Bay, as we mentioned before the show, and
you changed it at the last minute because of mine
and so I could have played Tampa Bay first half
stuck with that, we would have had our winner. It's
a choice. We lost. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was talking to Brian off Air and this
is going to be my segue into our first game,
because you know, Bro, I mean, most of your friends,
my friends are handicappers and stuff like that, or at
least the people we interacted on a daily basis, and
all you ever hear is people complain about losing, complain
about how they got screwed, and it's like, sometimes things
do work out in your favor. I was talking about yesterday.
For me, I had every intention of playing the Rais
were on the show.
Speaker 2: I talked about it on the show.
Speaker 1: I get off the show, suddenly they're a dollar fifty
five favorite. They took a ton of money, and you know,
being just the discipline guy that I am, Brian, I
can't play that bad number. So I passed on that
ended up passing on a loser, and then I come
back and end up playing the Orioles plus one and
a half, which I got to be honest, I don't
know if I take a raise loss in that bastion
early in the day, I might take my ball and
go home. But I didn't, and the Orioles hang on
to a game that I felt like they kind of
had end up losing.
Speaker 2: Read it too.
Speaker 1: But that's our segue because that's the first game on
the slate for a Thursday. It's Orioles Red Sox back
at Camden Yards Day game. Tough way for the Orioles
to sort of drop one. Yesterday they had, you know,
I question how that end of that game was managed.
They had Keegan Aiken, who comes in and does a
tremendous job to get out of the eighth inning. I
believe he inherited first and third no outs and gets
out of it. And I also want to go back
and say, if you watch the show yesterday, I talked
about Dietrich ends Tronesi Contreras being tough on the Red Sox.
They totally shut the Red Sox down for like eight innings.
They were totally confused. Aiken comes in, gets out of
the eighth inning, and they put him back out there
for the ninth.
Speaker 2: I thought it was the wrong decision. It turns out
it was.
Speaker 1: Thankfully it didn't cost me my plus one and a
half by about one inch because that's where Romey Gonzalez's
home run.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a home run.
Speaker 1: Somehow, Dylan Carlson just reaches his glove up, grabs it,
gets out three two.
Speaker 2: Final.
Speaker 1: The Orioles man, you know, Brian, this is they're looking
like a very young team right now. They called a
lot of these guys up, but I'm not seeing much
veteran leadership. I feel like I'm watching a very young
team sort of get slapped around by a solid Red
Sox team. Does that continue today or did the Orioles
have a chance here?
Speaker 3: Well, I'll be honest with everybody, I'm not enamored with
today's card, So there's not a lot this popped out
of me at this point. But if I'm looking at
this game, you know, he got Crochet on the mounmae,
a couple of lefties going Crochet and Povich. Crochet in
the one ninety range total of eight to the under
or seven and a half slightly to the over. I
don't want any part of Povich. Povich's just has not
been able to make that adjustment going from the minor
leagues to the majors. He was expected to do much
better than he has, not throwing a good outing once
in a while, and he has late recently he had
a really good outing. But you've got one of the
best top five pitchers, top three maybe in Major League
Baseball going here for a bosson team who's seems to
be on a mission, and I wouldn't want to bet
against him here. Crochet two point three eighty RA three
point zero two expected one point six whip. If you
look at his deckcast page on Baseball Savant on the
MLB dot com website, we see nothing but red, nothing
but bright red. He's great at everything he does. Throws
five pitches, including his four seamer, at ninety six point
three miles an hour, which is three point three miles
an hour faster than anybody your average left handed pitcher
in Major League Baseball. And we know how much success
lefties have had this year, so that would be there's
no way I'm going against Crochet. Now Povich, he's got
a five point one three ERA. In his two seasons,
He's gone five and sixteen with a five point one
sixty ERA one point four to three whip. Granted it's
only one hundred and sixty five innings. He's a young guy,
he's only twenty five years old. But he just says
not had the ability to make the adjustment going from
the miners to the majors. He's expected dra's five point
five to seven, so there's nothing there. If you take
a look at his deackcast page, seventh, percentile and expected
DRA fourth and average ex of velocity third and BEARL
eight fifth and hard hit percentage and the way Baltimore
lost that game yesterday in the heartbreaking fashion because I
had Baltimore as a smaller play for myself. I used
it for a for my free play yesterday and we've
been on a nice ten to four run. Well now
it's ten and five. Is I did not take the
run and a half. It's gonna be tough for Baltimore
to come back in this game. I prefer the boss inside,
but I can't get there with this line. There's no
there's no discount here on Boston going for the sweep.
And normally this is the day where we've got a
lot of teams that are you know, we saw a
couple games yesterday. Well it was the game and then
they got to fly out and there the Mets game under.
I talked about that, and that's exactly what happened in
the Mets game. Under. That was a nice win for us.
But it's tough to take a team to sweep. And
I believe the cincinny Riz finally got swept yesterday, so
they were the last team to do it in Major
League Baseball. But I can't get behind Boston and sweep.
But there's no way I want to go against them
right here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Greg Morales, welcome in New It became a YouTube member.
That is that that's music to our ears. That means
he just went just subscribe via the YouTube channel. Appreciate you, Greg,
And if you haven't done that yet, which I know
most of you have because you watch the show all
the time, and I know you guys listen, But if
you haven't, the like subscribes and subscriptions to the YouTube
channel helped tremendously Turnbuckle Tommy, I'm kind of with you here.
He says his favorite play of the day is the
under in the Red Sox Orioles Road get Away Day
Crochet in the Mount. Povish actually has good numbers against Boston. Yeah,
Povic does have decent numbers against Boston. And I'll tell
you what. I bet Povich earlier this year against the
Red Sox in a game that ended up being like
a seventeen to five loss. Okay, And I remember that
game because I watched every pitch of it and Povich
was very, very good and all of those runs came
after he was out of the game. For the most part,
I thought, I think it was like a one run game,
there was a spot where the Orioles had a chance
to take the lead. I think the Red Sox made
a really nice defensive play to end the inning, and
then the floodgates opened after he was out of the game.
Speaker 2: But I remember every pitch of that game.
Speaker 1: I thought he pitched well, and he has pitched okay
against the Red Sox in the past.
Speaker 2: I agree with what Brian's saying. It hasn't fully translated
for him.
Speaker 1: This is a guy that was very dominant at Triple
A last year, just hasn't really been able to do
that at the big league level.
Speaker 2: But it still might be in there.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything to this, but you know,
he was he kind of set and this should I
hate even bringing stuff like this up because it doesn't
deserve attention. But Povic got threats after his last start.
I don't know if you saw that make the rounds
on social media. I think a family member of his
got threatened, so which is insane that that's like in
the game, but it does happen, and you know, like
we saw it happen with the Colors earlier this year,
and the next day he came out and next game
he came out pitched great. I don't think there's any
correlation between that and the threat, but.
Speaker 2: I'm sure the team is behind him.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's had a lot of kind, you know,
a lot of kind words over the past few days,
and there's probably people in there building him up, maybe
more so than your typical start. Who knows if there's
something to that or not. I want to make a
case for the Oriols on the plus one and a
half again because it's a much better price than Yes
today and the reason I would like the Orioles here
to stay within margin. The Red Sox have used some
bullpen they've been win That's part of the thing. When
you win a lot of games, and especially when you
win close games like the Red Sox have in this series,
you start to burn through the bullpen.
Speaker 2: So they have had some bullpen usage. So I do
think the Oriols might be able.
Speaker 1: If they can hang around, they can cover that one
and a half, maybe even steal this one. But I
think Turnbuckle Tommy's play makes sense because you get Crochet,
Covid should pitch better, or Povid should pitch Okay.
Speaker 2: He has in this series so far.
Speaker 1: You have the getaway day and you're gonna have you know,
you're gonna have, you get the eight flat, which I
thought it should have been seven and a half.
Speaker 2: I like that, So turn buckle, Tommy. I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll be my parlay leg, but
I think under makes a lot of sense here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the only problem is Chapman pitched yesterday. He's pitched
three at the last seven days. He through twenty four pitches.
He won't be available, and he has been violently talking
about making catches at the at the wall. He's silently
been the best pitcher, really pitcher in baseball this year.
He's the number one rated. So him not playing, and
we also Wilson came in for one pitch yesterday, but
it would be the third game in a row that
he pitched. I don't I doubt if he'll be used.
But that leaves you Whitlock and Matt's in so that
they're fine. Other than that, but to play an under
in a game where your best pitcher will not be
pitching in Chapman, that is something to think about. But yeah, yeah,
anytime we've get these Thursday getaway games, that's the first
thing I'm looking at from a total standpoint, is to
play the other end these especially you know that one's
at an early game, starts at one o'clock. They got
to get out of there. Yep. Makes a lot of
sense to me too.
Speaker 1: Brian Leonard, did you know Eraaldish Chapman has now gone
forty two batters without giving up a hit.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that until last night. That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 3: His numbers, considering his age to throw the ball as
fast as he does, being a lefty, he's turned himself
if he wasn't, is he a Hall of Famer? I mean,
you got to look at that. The career he's had,
it's tougher for the relief pitchers to get in there.
But the guy, the guy's been really good and he's
done it for so many teams and so many years.
Hats off to him in the career.
Speaker 1: Hed Yeah, I mean, he's, like Collin said, he looks
like he's in his prime and we all remember how
dominant or all the Chapman was during his prime days.
But yeah, it's a I mean, what a weapon for
this Red Sox team who's been playing great ball to have.
And I think that would also sort of tilt me
to Orioles plus one and a half, knowing that they're
probably not going to have Chapman at the end of
the game because credit to the Orioles, I mean, Kobe
Mayo had a phenomenal at that in the ninth inning,
they just I mean, I think it was like a
twelve pitch at bat against Chapman and he just put
him away with ninety nine down the middle, hitch number twelve,
because that that's just how locked in Chapman is. Right now,
you have to protect against like three other things. Good
conversation right there, that'll be a fun one. And that
is the uh, the first day game. So Scargon, I
did not know this, he says, hitting subscribe does not
make you a member. Membership is two ninety nine, but
subscribe anyways, Well I didn't realize that. But hey, if
if you guys are becoming members, thank you very much,
and you know it is free to like and subscribe
and all the interaction greatly helps us. We just want
to grow, grow this show to be as big as
we can possibly be. So they so then when next
year rolls around and they're figuring out what what kind
of programming, they want they keep us in mind.
Speaker 2: That is that is our goal with all of that.
Speaker 1: So let's see, let's go to the cop I mean,
we're gonna probably get to a lot of games today,
so I'm just gonna go. We might get to most
of them, actually or some of them. Let's let's let's
talk Mets baseball first second, Brian, I feel like you
know this is I didn't make it. Like again, I
didn't bet the Mets a single time in this series.
And I'm kicking myself a little bit because I talked
about it on Friday. Hey, I'm gonna bet the Mets
till they lose. I play on Friday, Saturday, they lose
on Sunday. I never came back with him against the Phillies,
and then they pull off the sweep. I do feel
a little bit validated here. Your boy has been all
over Nolan McLean and Joel and Jonah Tong Nolan McLean
last night awesome. Wipes out the Phillies, no problem. But
now we're starting to get it. It's just amazing how
quickly things turn. Because the Mets a week ago, no
one wanted any part of this team, Brian, and now.
Speaker 2: They're over a two dollars favorite against the Marlins.
Speaker 1: Any way, you play back at that a little bit
this weekend or even here tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh. I was actually thinking about it because
I'm watching the games. I said, I wonder what the
Mets are right now to win the World Series, because well,
in a week ago, but you know, they're not dead
because they've accumulated enough wins, but they were not looking good,
very hit and miss. That's why at the end of
the season when you see these teams, when you see
the records like against over five hundred teams or whatever,
it gets to me with a great assault because if
the Mets, if they played the Mets during that street
that they were just on, that was nothing to be
brag about. Because the Mets just were not playing well.
We'll going with the bullpen game. It looks like for
Miami today Maser is getting the start against Clay Holmes
and they are bringing up your man to pitch tomorrow
that you had met or yeah tomorrow Tong is going
to go. They're going to go with the six man rotation.
It would not surprise me to see Holmes go to
the bullpen because of his innings. He was the closer
for the Yankees goes over to the Mets, so his
innings are starting to pile up a little bit, but
homes in the Mets right now looking like basically about
two fifty favorite total, nine to the slately to the under.
We're looking at major as I mentioned on the stackcast
page here, they don't have they don't have a listed
pitcher because it was just it was just done. So
I expect him to go and in and I think
it's going to be a bullpen game. Which the first
thing I'm going to take a look at here is
how's Miami bullpen sitting up in this game? And it
looks like they're in really good shape. Fauchet and Henricaez
and Phillips. Proche and Henricas haven't pitched the last two days. Phillips,
nobody pitched last night except for two guys they brought
up from the miners to extend that game, and that
was Tarnock and Martinez. They won't be playing. They'll be
sent back down to Triple A and they'll bring a
couple more guys up here. But it'll be a bullpen
game for Miami, I believe, and I have no problem
with that because they're set up pretty well. Here. We've
got Holmes, as I mentioned going for New York, he
had hidden the season. He's up to a three point
six o Era four point three seven expected one point
three to two whip, very good ground ball right and
excellent grand ball right in ninety fourth percentile. But other
than that, his barrel rate's pretty good sixty nine percent.
But everything else is in the blue. So I'm not
looking to play the Mets here in any regard. He's
got one hundred and thirty seven pitches thrown this year,
which is more than he's had the last two years combined. Obviously,
coming out of the bullpen, hasn't started a game the
last two years. Now he's up. This is be his
twenty seventh start, so it's probably a five and fly
for homes if you can get there, which isn't a
bad situation, but he has not been as nearly as
good lately. I got to find a way to play
Miami here and let me see what we can get here.
At the plus one and a half, you can get
them a plus money. Let me use that. Like I said,
I'm not I'm not in love with anything on today's card,
but because of the situation here with the the Mets
coming off, it's gotta be a letdown after after sweeping Phillies.
So I'm gonna use Miami here plus one and a
half at plus plus one oh five out there, So
that'll be my play on this game.
Speaker 1: You don't get First of all, it's football season and
you should be watching bet on It, which is a
great football show that wad your talk produces. You don't
get many sandwich spots in baseball. Uh Marco does this
segment which is like sandwich spots and football, they happen
every week, you rarely get.
Speaker 2: Them in baseball.
Speaker 1: This would be a baseball sandwich spot because you have
the letdown of sleeping the sweeping the Phillies, and then
you have tomorrow night which has now become this very
anticipated Jonah Thong major League dated, So you have a
legitimate sandwich spot here. One thing I'll disagree with you
with Adam Maser is a starter. He will go five
innings like this is not going to be a bullpen game.
Speaker 2: He is.
Speaker 1: He's not a bullpen arm at all. Like he he
is a starting pitcher. He only has started for Jacksonville
this year. Every outing is like five innings. So the
only way he's out early in this game is if
he's getting crushed. Brian, if you remember, I could pull
up our text thread from back in April, I said,
I said, Maser will be in this rotation by early May.
Speaker 2: This was the guy that I was excited about.
Speaker 1: So if you're not familiar with Adam Maser, he's They
got him from the Padres, I believe as part of
one of their deadline deals last year. I forget who
they got for him, doesn't matter, but I thought early
in this year, so he was a guy. Actually, he
was up with San Diego for a stretch last year
and he struggled because he was just not ready to
be in the big leagues yet. He san Diego needed
a starter last year. He only had about four outings
at and they said, hey, you're in, like, go for it.
Speaker 2: And he didn't pitch well. And then the Marlins got him.
Speaker 1: And to the Marlins credit and this is Peter Bendix,
and this is you know, their whole sort of mo
with trying to develop pitching and do it their way.
They kept Maser down at Triple A last year and
he's been there for most of the year this year,
So the only issue is he hasn't thrown the ball
great at Triple A. But you also have to wonder
if this is one of those things where he feels
like he's just you know, other guys have gotten a
chance and maybe he should have.
Speaker 2: We had this come up.
Speaker 1: I forget who it was with, but this same scenario
came up the other day and the pitcher in question
pitched well. I can't remember who we were talking about.
But the point is, Maser's a big league caliber pitcher.
He made it to the big leagues with the Padres,
he was serviceable, had command issues. He's been down at
Triple A all year for the Marlins, and for whatever reason,
the Marlins liked to do this. But they seem to
like to do this with guys they really like. If
you remember, they did it to Max Meyer last year,
where they just like kind of forced him to stay
down at Triple A all year, even though the guys being
called up were not as they were less touted, if
you will, than him. That's kind of what has happened
to the Marlins this year in terms of some of
the guys they've brought up ahead of him. I kind
of like that though, because they've had him down there
for a reason, they must feel like the time is now.
Speaker 2: If you're looking at stuff, of all.
Speaker 1: Those pitchers down in Jacksonville, he probably has the best stuff.
Speaker 2: So I think there's a lot of upside here to
the Marlins.
Speaker 1: And then after him, you are going to get some
of the better bullpen arms and you do get this
great sandwich spot. So the only thing that kind of
sucks with the Marlins right now is you don't have stours,
and I think that really has hurt them since he
went down. But you know, there's been time. There's been
plenty of time. What are we going on a week
where he's been out. I think the markets sort of
bake that in at this point. I'm with you, Brian,
Marlins plus one and after if you didn't do it,
I would have done it.
Speaker 2: So I like that quite a bit.
Speaker 1: And Trevor says, Maser horrible against lefties. Gonna be a
few left handed hitters in the Mets lineup. Okay, yeah,
I mean, listen, it's it's that's that's a good point,
and it's possible. But you're getting the run here, and
you're getting it with the road team like, I think
it's a worthwhile trade off with this, with the spot
coming off the Phillies game and then you've got the
big Jonahtong debut tomorrow. I just it really is a
tremendous spot for the Marlins, and you're getting a ton
of value as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I appreciate you, uh correcting me on that
because he wasn't listening on setcast anywhere. I had to
go to Baseball Reference. Now that trade was when he
came over to to Miami. He has had one start
for Miami this year, six point three five a r A.
Did not look good five point two innings any any
had some walk issues in that game. So yeah, overall
he has not done well. But I'd like the situation
and even if they can get four quality innings out
of them, three quality innings, that's fine enough for me.
But I remembered the name, and once you mentioned San Diego,
then I put it all together. But yeah, I should
have gone to Baseball Reference. They had all the They
have all the information. That's that's another site where we
rarely mention it, but it gives you a lot of
great information. And if you're looking for these minor league players,
and I'm like, like, you do you follow those games
a lot more than I do. This is a place
to catch up on all those guys that do that
for a living.
Speaker 1: Andy Lang says, w T slash Insiders two ninety a month.
You get five dollar coupon at the start of every month,
exclusive content, emoji's buttons, chat, and your questions in the
chat get priority. That that must be what he's talking
about for the the whatever that subscription was. So if
that's something that interesting, check that out. Appreciate Andy popping
in and Brian I remembered who it was, and this
will be my segue to our next game.
Speaker 2: It was Bubba Chandler.
Speaker 1: Last week we talked about Bubba Chandler. He started to
he started to sort of struggle in the miners. I
kind of felt like maybe he was kind of looking
at it like, all right, why am I still down here?
Speaker 2: And maybe he got bored a little bit. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't want to compare Mazer to Chandler because Chandler's
a much higher touted sort of prospect at this point,
but that's what we saw happen with Chandler, where he
had some bad outings at the miners.
Speaker 2: He gets up, he's tremendous. Last week, did I see
he got in and threw the ball pretty well? Last night? Again,
I think I got right.
Speaker 3: He Actually he's the first player in major league history
to get a save and a win in his first
two appearances. It's another useless stat from ESPN or whoever
it was, but still he was able to get the
win and he'd piggy back, and that's what they're doing
right now. So and he's been unheatable so far. So
it's worked out well. And that's one of the other
things you have to keep track of this time of year.
Some of guys get real frustrated they haven't gotten the call.
They're seeing all their buddies getting in the call and
they go, what the hell's wrong with that? Why I
cannot get the call? And then when they do, they
come out and they're more focused. So hopefully it'll work
out for the mind of a picture today.
Speaker 1: So my segue was to this Pirates Cardinals game, and man,
every time I watch the Pirates and they win a game,
then they do it with like Abobba Chandler or something,
I think to myself, Man, if there was other people
in charge of this organization, they would be they would
they would be above five hundred team probably in the mix.
Like it's actually insane. This team is fifty nine and
seventy five with the pitching talent, they have some of
the guys that they've been able to accumulate in that organization.
Like the fact that they're you know, can't key on
in the chat is like twenty twenty six rotation schemes.
Chandler ASHTRAK Jared Joe, I mean, brack it. It's just
incredible that this team isn't winning more games. But then
they have a you have a game like last night
where they go out they win two to one, Baba
Chandler's throwing a hundred, and you're like, yeah, like this
is what's supposed to This is what they're supposed to
happen with this Pirates team.
Speaker 2: And so I bring you to this game today.
Speaker 1: I feel like if things were to go how they
were supposed to, it'd be Braxton Ashcraft throwing five or
six really good innings and the Pirates into the driver's
seat to win, and you've got the Pirates at plus
money here.
Speaker 2: So but it's still the Pirates and they still make
mind theming decisions, mostly with their lineup, because that lineup
down in Indianapolis is very good right now. I got
to see them in person last week. There's four guys
in that lineup that should be in the big league lineup.
So it makes the Pirates a tough handicap. How do
you handicap this one? Pirates Cardinals?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Pirates. We didn't talk about that game yesterday,
but I really like the Pirates. I oh, there's way
too much value on them. The Saint Louis pitcher is
a very good pitcher, and he pitched well in the game.
But how is Saint Louis worth? Maybe in a one
ninety favorite. We didn't get into it yesterday, but hopefully
a lot of people saw what I saw Ashcraft against
Miles Micholas, who for some reason is pitching well right now.
Every time I think the guy's gonna get cut, it
gets to the point he goes, Okay, well, yeah, I
better stick around a little bit.
Speaker 2: But it's been going on for a decade. Yeah, it's
been for ten years.
Speaker 3: But by the way, Colorado just sends us a towel
to the bullpen, So no more than that for us.
But yeah, that was something that's probably four months too late.
But Michaela's here one sixth bed one sixteen favorite and
it looks to be eight and a half to the
under or he get eight slightly to the over. Yeah,
Ashcraft have been very good. Two point seven oe a,
one point one eight whip expected three point three zero,
a lot of red on his tadcast page Bureau percentage
ninety seventh percentle ground ball right eighty ninth, ninety percent
on average Egson velocity. He throws the four steamer at
ninety seven, which is two miles an hour more than
a normal right hander. But he throws the slider and
the curve a lot too. So he's got three pitches
that he throws maybe maybe eighty five percent of the time,
although he does have five total pitches. I like the
package for Asscraft. I think this is a guy that
is for the most part, staying under the the notice
of a lot of people out there, and you know,
even some of the other guys for the Pirates on
the pitching staff. The starters have done pretty well. Yeah,
Miles Cholis five point one seven ERA, five point three
nine expected, one point three six whip. He doesn't pitch
in Colorado. He doesn't pitch in Cincinnati. Those are numbers
that you would get if you were to pitch in
those two ballparks. He's been lucky to pitch here. The
one saving graycer Miles Micholis. He doesn't walk anybody, only
five point seven this year, and his career walk grate
is four point four percent, so he's in the eighty
seven percent of all of that. But everything else all
blue on his tackcast page four. Seam, slider, curve, sinker, change, sweeper,
he does it all and he only threw us as
pass ball twenty eight percent of the time, which I like.
But I think he's been in the league for ten
years now, got a respectable seventy and seventy four record,
but he's seen better days and after the three years,
at least the last two years five point three five
y R five point one seven this year. I don't
know what his contract situation is, but he'll likely be
out of baseball soon. All that said, I do prefer
Pittsburgh in this game. I think we've lost a little
bit of value because they won yesterday. I would have
preferred to take say Lewis coming in here all for
a satisfying win. But yeah, the only way I could
play this game would be Pittsburgh with a clearly better
starter the bult For Pittsburgh, even though they traded away
their closer, they still got a lot of talent. I've
always left Alderman and I like some of other guys
in that bullpen. So yeah, if I play this, I'm
playing the Pirates. The only problem is you got to
worry about the Pirates offense. Some days they put up
fourteen runs, other days they get shut out Major League Baseball,
and they could get one of those where Micholas just
dazzles them with his offspeat stuff. But we'll see. The
only way I coul play this would be Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Brian, I guess when the organizational depth
right around your age range at your position is Paul Skeins,
Jared Jones, Hunter Barco like, and you're on that list,
it's easy to someone's gonna go under Bubba Chandler. It's
easy someone's gonna go under the radar a little bit.
And I do feel like it's been Ashcraft. And another
reason he's gone a little bit under the radar is
the Pirates. Did I guess this is the pirates what
they're gonna do. Now, this is their new thing where
they're gonna call a guy up and then let him
come and pitch in long relief and come out of
the bullpen. So he kind of, you know, he he
didn't really get his his sort of day when he
got called up because he was coming out of the bullpen.
So on and so forth. They might be onto something though,
because I think I think it's like he's I think
it's helped him right, Like he was coming out of
the bullpen. Maybe he realized he could throw a little
bit harder in shorter you know, in shorter stretches. He's
been awesome and and he's been better than he was
at Triple A since you know, sort of getting called
up and going through that like routine of being a
long reliever for a minute. I mean, his stuff is tremendous.
He has, like you know, if they didn't have Paul
Skeins and they didn't have some of these other guys,
I think they'd be talking about Brax and Ashcraft is
like a potential ace, but he does sort of fly
under the radar a little bit, and for that reason,
you're able to get prices like plus one ten plus
one oh five on him when he's the better pitcher.
And you know what, the Pirates right now, they very
possibly could be the better team.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Gene.
Speaker 1: I pull I put his comment down because it was
it was taking up a lot of room on the screen.
I'll pull it back up. Cardinals, clear clubhouse issues. Did
you guys have to catchman? Contreras got tossed out of
the game the night before through the bat hit one
of the teammates. It's yeah, it's it's not good for
the Cardinals right now. And I think that's a very
good point that's being made. They're kind of a team
that it feels like they're sort of going off the rails,
whereas the Pirates are a team that, you know, unfortunately
has been off the rails since about May. They haven't
had anything to play for since May in terms of
like going anywhere. So I think you could see the
Pirates play spoiler a little bit. I'll tell you what
I'm looking for a long term right now in Indianapolis,
they have Cam Devaney, Rapiel Flores, Nick Solak, and Nick York.
Those four should be in the Pirates lineup. If you
see those guys start to creep into the lineup in
the coming days and weeks, the Pirates will be a
money making machine in September, an absolute machine, because that
would improve the Pirates lineup tenfold. Those four are better
than the last four guys in the Pirates lineup right now,
which has been the Pirates issue.
Speaker 2: Why they won't bring him up, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It must be it must be a way for that
owner to save a dollar or two, because that's like
the m O in Pittsburgh. But write those four names
down and keep an eye on the on the transactions.
The reason I say that is it is August twenty eighth.
On September first rosters expand, and it like it would
be crazy to like not give Cam Devaney his major
league baseball debut when they traded Adam Frasier for him.
Speaker 2: They still haven't called him up.
Speaker 1: And the guy's got like a nine to fifty ops
in the minors, like he's twenty eight years old, like you,
even the Pirates can't continue to do him a disservice
like that. So I think you're gonna see some of
these guys get in the lineup and the Pirates might
be a September machine. For today, I still think they're
they're good enough, Brian. So I'm gonna use I'm gonna
throw this in the parla.
Speaker 2: I'll do. What do we have for a pirate's money line?
Right now?
Speaker 3: The Pirate's money line is looking at plus plus one
o three.
Speaker 2: I will say, I'll take that. That's good.
Speaker 3: I will say after looking at the bullpen situation for Pittsburgh,
Santana's pitch three the last four days, including yesterday, there
seventh and eighth inning guys Matt Sen and Lonzowski. Uh
he threw forty six pitches, Yester, so he won't be
available match the last four Uh, so they're gonna have
to use some of their other guys in the bullpen.
I like the first half better. You can get him
at minus one twenty. That way, I don't have to
worry about the bullpen. And we didn't even talk about
Mike Burrows, who has been in the rotation for a
long time this year, and he's another guy that has
turned into be a pretty good picture for Pittsburgh. So
from a pitching standpoint, I think the Pirates are in
good shape for next year. It's got to bring in
some hitters and they'll be a competitive team.
Speaker 1: I think you I think you could see Justin Lawrence
out of the bullpen for the Pirates today. He threw
he threw on Tuesday for Indianapolis, and I don't see
why they wouldn't just I mean, he looked fine, like
it's you know, it's his third it was his third
rehab outing. I feel like if they I feel like
it's like, what are you know if he's if if
it would be outing number four, Like why don't just
just let him throw it for Pittsburgh, especially if you
need a bullpen arm and and Lawrence before he got hurt,
was looking really good. If you guys remember he was
the reliever that they grabbed from the Rockies who was
off to a tremendous start this season. So you may
you may see him back in the Pirates pen today.
It would probably be his day to pitch, So keep
an eye on that. Okay, let's take a look here
we have Dayton. Dayton says, can we cover the Diamondbacks
game today? We can definitely do that. That was when
I saw a little value on I told I did
a video for this yesterday. I thought Arizona would win
a game in the series, and that they were a
little value at plus money, and they got it done
yesterday three to win. So I guess my free play
cash yesterday on the Diamondbacks, Brian, I think they might
have a tiny bit of value again today in this
one at plus money. You're gonna need them to piece
together the pitching a little bit. It's probably gonna be
no Bill, Chris Matt and a sort of a couple
of bullpen guys because I don't know that he's going
to go very long in this game. But I believe
they called up a guy from Reno that's been throwing
it well. His last name's Rashi r A s Hi.
I believe is I don't know if you appeared yesterday.
If he didn't, he's probably in the mix for today.
So my question to you is can can Aara's gonna
piece it together with the pitching where they're in this
game today?
Speaker 3: Yeah, this game, we're looking at Chris Matt and Quintana
for the afterthought for Milwaukee, and he cons interested to
have a terrific season. He's a lefty going against Arizona. Here.
We're looking at Milwaukee at about a what's sixty favorite
and a total of nine. I'm glad we talked about
this game because I wanted to talk about Milwaukee. I
lost a game the other day. I believe they played
San Francisco and they brought McGill in to close, and
it brought him in the last sning. He clearly didn't
have anything. I'm watching the game. I go they got
to give him the hell out of there. I talked
about it earlier show, and now they find out. Why
do you know he's going on the ale? He's hurt? Yeah,
I knew he was hurt. I watched the damn game.
In fact, if I could see it, the management's got
to be able to see that. Or do you leave
him in an entire game? Cost ship, I'll start, clients
will win. But a little frustration on my part. But
still Milwaukee right now, they got a big lead, they
don't need to win, and they're playing somewhat like that
right now. The Bill the only no Bill I've ever
heard of in Major League Baseball. He's thirty year old,
so he's only pitched one hundred and eighty six innings
in his career. This is his third, actually sixth season
in Major League Baseball three RA three point five eight,
not bad one point three. I wa up a little high,
but he's come in. He started a game earlier for
this team, and he's had some pretty good success. Probably
won't go along. As you mentioned, he's going up against
Stana Gwentana three point three two, ERA five point oh
two expected. He's always beat his expected numbers. You go
all the way back the last four years, he's beating
them every year. He's one of those guys that stays
under the radar, and I like it. But if you
see a stack cast page, not any red on this
page average Jackson Velosti sixty first percentile. That's the best thing.
He does a lot of blue, but he knows how
to pitch. His career ERA three point seven two last
three years three point three two, three point seventy five,
three point five to seven. These statcast people do not
like him, and a lot of people in Major League Baseball,
the scouts and all that, they don't like them. But
he knows how to pitch, and I usually find a
lot of value on him. But I don't want him today.
As I mentioned, Milwaukee right now without their closer, and
they can just cruise the rest of their way, so
no reason to play Milwaukee here at the line open
one seventy one five. I believe they take those from
Chris and they kind of inflate their their numbers on
the on the favorite there with they got twenty five
cent straddle right there, so normally you only see about
a fifteen points straddle at the worst. So yeah, we're
we're looking at Arizona here. I think there's value on there,
and because of the Milwaukee not having the closer, the
rest of their guys are really good. But Ashby I
used as a starter so last time out and they
pitched like forty five pitches, so he won't be available,
so it'll be a limited Milwaukee bullpen here. I kind
of like Arizona. I think that's a decent underdog play
for today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and no Bille Chris. Matt's been around for a
long time. He's I think he's thirty, will be thirty
one later this year. Kind of just he's just been
a journeyman, minor leaguer. I feel like I've seen him
on six different A rosters over the past couple of years.
Speaker 2: I think he was actually on three different ones.
Speaker 1: I think he went from Dodgers to Phillies to to
This is his most recent stop he's actually been. He's
he's taken this opportunity and run with it a little bit.
This will be his third outing for the Diamondbacks and
he's given up one run over nine innings so far.
So you know, he's thrown it well recently since being
called up. So I think that's worth pointing out. I'll
echo what you were saying, Brian. This this Brewers team,
they just don't really need to like go nuts right now.
They have a six and a half game lead in
the division. They still have a man I think their
lead on the on the best track in the nash
League is roughly the same. They have like a six
or seven game lead on the next best team in
the NL right now. They don't need to manage these
games and put guys at risk.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: You're gonna see, it's gonna be all Just spread the
innings around, let's keep everyone fresh, and let's go to
the postseason healthy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, listen, if the Cubs close the gap and suddenly
this is a two game lead in the division, do
you think does that change things?
Speaker 2: Probably?
Speaker 1: But I just don't think you're gonna see the Brewers
take chances with your relievers. I think it's just gonna
be next guy up. So that's it's worth sort of
noting because you get to these leverage spots and you're
you're typically used to having a McGill or an Ashby
in a certain spot. Well, McGill's on the il, they're
obviously not gonna use Ashby today, and you get.
Speaker 2: Kind of the situation that happened.
Speaker 1: To you over the weekend where you have the game
on the line and Garrett Anderson is pitching in the
ninth inning of the game, and that's tough. So I
do think that that's a reason, based on where the
Brewers are priced in the market, to start to look
at the other side, because you're still paying premium prices
for the Brewers on pretty much a daily basis, and
I think that's what you're being asked to do here.
So it would be Dbacks or pass for me, I
think there's value again on them today. I would I
would rather have the Arizona Diamondbacks if I was going
to bet this game. Okay, let's move along. We have
seventeen minutes left. We've locked the parley, in so I'll
repeat that again at the end of the show. But
there's still plenty of other games to talk about. Let's
let's talk about those Cubs. The Cubs six and a
half back in the in the NL Central, but it
looks like they're sort of comfortably a playoff team at
this point, Brian. They've everyone has kind of distanced themselves
from the Reds, which you sort of foreshadowed that being
the case. On Monday, they're still on the road in
San Francisco. Looks like we're going to get immanouga vers Web.
Any thoughts Cubs Giants for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The first thing that pops at me is the
Cubs are face slightly. I mean, it's more it's more
of a pick them game. But they're going against San
Francisco's best picture Logan Web, one of the best pitchers
in Major League Baseball. They say, well, why is that? Well,
San Francisco is going for the sweep the Cubs this
last game here. They don't expect them to leave here
getting swept. So a lot of people are jumping on
the Cubs. I can understand the logic behind it, but
now we've lost, there's no value. I'm not going to
go against Logan Web, the best San Francisco starter. They're
playing at home here, they're playing they've they come on.
They've been another team that's been up and down all
season long, and they look terrible just a week ago,
and now they're playing very well. I believe they're won
four straight games total. So you got the best picture
for this team on a winning streak at home and
money is coming in on the Cubs. Can't get there
that way. If I was catching maybe one twenty here
on the Cubs, I'd be interested, But right now it
looking like a pick up situation in Minaga. Three point
oh three era, three point sixty five expected zero point
nine four whip in two years. Zero point nine nine
in Major League Baseball's a whip that's been excellent. His
walk grade obviously terrific ninety fourth percentile. But he is
a flyball pitcher and that hasn't hurt him that much.
But he doesn't have the ability to give up a
fly ball, which hurts you in the home runs basketball
velocity only in the eighth percentile. He's a guy who's
a crafty veteran, and he'll come into he'll come into
San Francisco, as I mentioned logan web three point one
three ERA three point seven zero expected one point two
two whip last two years three point four to seven
e ra A three point two five the year before
his career in seven seasons three point three seven e
ra A one point one nine whip. He's one of
those guys that will walk somebody once in a while,
but this year is at five point four percent, so
other than that, it's very good. And ah it's ninety
percent tile on walk right ninety first to ground ball
percent extension eighty fourth. I like this guy, obviously, and
they're playing pretty well right now. I wanted to play
the Cubs. I thought this was going to be a
good spot for him, but there's no way I could
go on guess Web at home, so I'll be sitting
this one up.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, dog dogs are barking again. Sorry about that.
Speaker 1: I don't have a huge opinion on this game, so
I want to pull up this chat comment because i'll
kind of ill kind of it's a good spot to
talk about this and I'll tie it into this game.
So the question here is, you know, basically, how do
standings affect your handicapping? And I think it's I think
too often it gets thrown around like meaningless game, like
Major League Baseball. Players are always going out there and
trying to win games. The players are always going, for
the most part, play hard every day. So but but
the standing and where a team is at will affect
the handicap.
Speaker 2: For me, it's two ways. It's one the.
Speaker 1: Game we just spoke about with the Brewers where it's like, Okay,
we have a large lead. It's not that they're not
trying to win, but management spreading the innings around like
there's there's different things in play.
Speaker 2: The other thing is.
Speaker 1: Teams like and I will look at the standings and
teams that I felt. I feel that they felt that
they should have been in it, and they've got some
veterans and now they're no longer in it come September
tend to be. That's where you see some of the
some of the lethargic play in my opinion, when you
have a team and I think the Giants could could
fall right into that mix where this was a team
that in May went out and got Rafael.
Speaker 2: Devers and everyone's throwing them a parade. What a move.
Speaker 1: Now they fleece the red Sox got Devers and gave
up a couple of young prospects and gave up Kyle Harrison,
and if you guys remember at the time, they were
very much in the mix. Shreig was drinking the kool aid.
I think I said, oh, God, Giants are a playoff team.
Just mark it down. This team's now seven games out
of the wild card, eleven and a half back in
the division. I think the writings on the wall here,
I don't see the Giants playing their way back into it.
Speaker 2: And it is kind of a veteran team.
Speaker 1: You've always sort of questioned, like I don't know that
Devers is fully caught on there, Like I don't know,
like he's not like a fan favorite like he was
in Boston by any means logan Web's a veteran like
so Brian, I'll throw this back to you for a second.
Could the Giants be that team that just sort of
like doesn't look like they really care over the like
in the next couple of weeks, especially if they fall
another game or two out of the race.
Speaker 3: Well, they had been that team. They had they'd been
on a bad run after having the nice starts of
the season. I think they got their out of their system.
Now they've gotten getting some of their guys back. I
saw a tweet, and I'm terrible at remembering. I like
to give everybody credit for what they've done, and I
just can't remember. But they had a listing of since
that trade, the Giants had the worst record in baseball
or the worst WRC plus or whatever. The hitters just
had not played well. But he did go four for
four yesterday. It was a big, d big celebration last
night on the field. So it could be a letdown
spot with your best pitcher on the mound. But I
talked about this the other day, and all six, all
the teams right now, the six players, six from the
East or from the American six from the National are
all locked in. The last spot is the the Red Sox.
They're at ninety four point five percent. Nobody else in
the America American lead the Royals that are at fourteen
point four. So the teams that are in are in.
The teams that are out are out, and we can
take advantage of going against those teams that are already
in because of that. The Brewers are one. They've got
that big laid over the Cubs this is a team
that they will They'll not only change up some of
the innings that the pitchers throw, but they'll also give
the bench guys more at bats. And that's something that
they've done very good. It's one of the reasons why
they have success. Boston does a lot of that. They
keep the red or they keep the bench guys involved,
so we can fade a lot of these teams. The
Tigers we talked about, and you know, I know we
got a lot of Tigers fans in the chat. But
every time they get a big lead in that division,
I called this when they beat Kansas City three out
of four the other day, that they were going to slump,
and sure enough, they've lost four straight games now. But
that doesn't mean they're a bad team. It just means
that this is the time where we can go against
them and once it gets close. Obviously, if he does
get close, then you can bet on him again. So
Toronto's in that situation a little bit lately. They got
a four game lead over Boston, four and a half
over the Yankees. I'm kind of worried about Toronto getting
a little bit satisfied in that situation because if if
you to me, you flip a coin in the Blue Jays,
the Red Sox, and the Yankees. Any of those teams
could win this division and it's still up for grabs,
but trials in the playoffs. So it's a situation for
me where I'm looking to fade those teams, any team
in the playoff, I'm looking to fade. And there's gonna
be certain spots every day that we get Now. I
talked about Philadelphia. They're playing Atlanta today and that's one
of those situations. In Atlanta, a lot of injuries, their
players are going to be out. The starting pitching staff
has been just it's and then it's just just there's
been a wasted season for Atlanta. But they signed Quadrille,
they signed Fetti earlier. Uh, they're they're picking guys off
the scrap heap just to give him innings so they
don't throw throw any of the minor leaguers and add
up their innings at the major league level. So uh,
in Philadelphia in that game, you know, coming off with
the sweep, you expect Philadelphia play a great game, but
is Aaron Ollaback? So uh, it would be a good
game to uh to fade to Atlanta. But I'm not
sure that I want to lay that kind of number
with Aaronola. I didn't know if we're going to go
into another game, but I guess they have gotten into
another game here. Just want to get your opinion on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we can go into that one. I'll just
wrap up the colin.
Speaker 1: It looks like a couple guys in the chat were
pointing out giants struggle against lefties. Yeah, it's it's definitely
worth pointing out here because they do swing and miss
quite a bit too. Giants strike out a lot, and
even though imman Ague is not going to overpower anyone,
he doesn't throw it particularly hard. He does have a
pretty solid chase rate, and he's also very very intelligent pitcher.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, he'll he'll be able to set up
those hitters.
Speaker 1: So yeah, this could be a decent spot for the Cubs, especially,
you know, kind of avoid a sweep. Didn't even really
I this is I didn't even realize the Giants had
four straight wins going into today, so maybe, you know,
maybe they are sort of like, you know, this is
like their last stand, if you will. But I don't
think that this sets up great great for them. Yeah,
let's go into that Phillies Braves game. The Phillies were
rather humbled by the Mets the last couple of days,
but I actually had, you know, on my list of
stuff that I jotted down almost every one of which
was just a disgusting gross play. Braves were kind of like,
you know, I thought there was a little value with
Raves plus one and a half, and I think it
really kind of does go to the pitching. It's like,
you know, I guess this is a spot where you
would look and say, Okay, the Philly should win this game.
But do you want Aaron Nola at a dollar eighty
is the question right now. And I don't know that
I'll get to the window with that, but you know,
I definitely I definitely see, Like, you know, Cal Quantrill
is not a guy that I am super high on,
but I think it was it was worth pointing out
that I think he was throwing ninety seven a couple
of weeks ago. He's shown flashes, so it's it's tough
that would be one where there's no way I'm playing
the Phillies at a dollar eighty. But again, it's it
does feel like a spot maybe where they bounce back,
tough game. I wasn't even gonna talk about that one,
but go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah if you I don't want to lay the one eighty.
But Aaron OLA's in the ninety eight percent Hall of Chase, right,
He's got more strikeouts than the ning's pitched. Maybe there's
a situation where if you want to play Nola's strekeouts,
then may be a way to actually play Philadelphia without
without having to lay the big number.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've got to go back to the last
question we were talking about. You know, the Braves were the
team that I talked about for a couple of weeks.
I was like, this, this is going to be the
fade come come September, because they've got all these veterans.
Speaker 2: They've got veterans that are accustomed to winning.
Speaker 1: They've got Matt Olson, Ronald Lacunya, you know, guys that
have like tasted real success. And this was a team
that the expectation was they would be in the mix
for at least a wild card spot this year. So
the fact that they're coming into September sixty one and
seventy two and they're really like they're far They're.
Speaker 2: Much further out of it than the Giants are.
Speaker 1: That sort of profiles has a fade to me because
like when you it's it's totally different from that from
when you have like a young team, like let's say
an A's or a pirate.
Speaker 2: You know, A's is a good example.
Speaker 1: Well you've got this young team with a bunch of
guys that just want to play. Those are the types
of teams like they might be out of it, but
they can have success in September. When you've got a
team like the Braves who was supposed to be there
and they aren't, and they've got veterans, that's where you
get the like, you know, you know, some vacation plans
are already starting to be booked while the season's still
going on. So for that reason, the A's are the
Braves were always going to be a little bit of
a fade to me as we get to this point
in the season. But to the Braves credit, I think
they've played well the last couple of weeks, So I'm
not sure that I'm just like ready to go against
them yet. So that's a uh, that's a tricky one
right there. I can't I can't imagine I'll get involved
in that game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, even though the Braves come in as sixty one
and seventy two, there are run differentials minus two on
the season, So I should be a five hundred ball club.
If they were a five hundred ball club, they would
they would still be behind the Mets by five and
a half games or whatever. They'd still be playing hard.
But do you do these Braves players actually think that
there they would be uh, A'll get tender. With all
the injuries they've had, they just want to get this
season over with. I fully understand that, but they're playing.
They're a lot better team than let their record shows that.
I got to give them credit. They started the year
they were horrendous if you remember coming out of the
start of the season, had all those injuries, and they
they played with a lot of heart. I've got I've
got to say that.
Speaker 1: All right, we have I have someone coming to do
some work on the house. Specifically told them anytime after ten,
do not show up before ten?
Speaker 2: And when did they show up nine to fifty seven?
Speaker 1: But we're at the we're at the end of the show,
and I gotta I gotta be honest on on a
Thursday slate where there's not much, and I haven't put
anything out for clients yet. I probably should throw like
a quick promo in without Tokyo brand, and I forget
that we still sell stuff on this website. I mean
me personally. I got a five percent football play that
I love for Saturday. It's probably gonna be my only
college football selection of the weekend. And I'm five and
oh start football season, So check that out.
Speaker 2: Brian. Do you have anything going in Major League Baseball today?
Speaker 3: I have not put anything up yet. There's three or
four games on trying to break down here and get
those up. Also, yeah, we're undefeated in for college football.
We only had one play, but we had another play
on the free play in that one one. I do
have a play up for today's card, and I do
have a four percent play going further on than the weekend.
Speaker 1: If I get to the window with a baseball play today,
it very well might be one of these two that
are in the parlay.
Speaker 2: Can you just tell me what the odds are on that.
Speaker 1: We got Marlins plus one and a half and Pirates
and we desperately need a parlay win, and I think
we've got a nice two teamer here.
Speaker 2: I'm actually pretty excited about this parlay.
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh's about a one oh three plus one oh three
and Marlin's plus one and a half is plus one
oh five.
Speaker 1: Love that, and we even went with a little we've
got some odds there that's plus three sixteen.
Speaker 3: Since TV is not here, we don't have any big favorites.
Speaker 1: I mean, I used the big baby yesterday and magically
it got there with the Blue Jays. I'm not really
quite sure how that was a even though even though
we were cooked by that point, but I still that
would have.
Speaker 2: I'd like to win one, you know what. We set
the tone, Brian, the very first parlay of our year.
We got a Grand Slam.
Speaker 1: To like win it, and I don't think we've had
that kind of luck since, but I do like this one.
So just before we sign off one more time, the
two teamer for today is Marlins plus one and a half.
That's Brian's side and my side's gonna be pirates on
the money line, both plus money plus three sixteen. So
a nice little two team are there. Hopefully it gets
us back in the win column. We will be back
regardless tomorrow morning, nine am Eastern to finish out the week.
And yeah, hopefully we can cash them tickets today. Have
a great day, everyone. Check out the wager Talk YouTube

Speaker 2: And yeah, good luck tonight everyone.
Speaker 1: Enjoy some college football really kind of officially kicking off tonight,
and we'll see you guys tomorrow morning.
