Speaker 1: All right, welcome in.
Speaker 2: It's Monday morning time for total basis, Hope everyone had
a very safe and happy Fourth of July long weekend.
But it's back to business and we're gonna talk as
many games as we can talk about tonight. We've got
new series starting like Dodgers, Brewers, Diamondbacks, Padres out West
Philly's Giant should be a good one that is on
later tonight Raised Tigers, which we'll start within a minute,
but before we get into it, because we've got a
couple extra minutes at the beginning of the show today,
I want to ask you guys this question. This is
the home stretch of the first half. We have one
week left in the first half before the All Star break.
Does your approach do you alter your approach at all?
Because I've I've found this week can be a little
bit of a crap shoot in the past. So we'll
start with Brian Leonard. First of all, welcome and hope
you had a great weekend. And second, like talk to
me about maybe your experience sort of betting this these
last couple date games before the All Star break from
past years.
Speaker 3: It's actually different depending on what sport is. When I
through the NBA, I always bet on the veteran teams
going into the break as opposed to the younger teams
who are worried about, you know, where they're going to
the beaches and everything. Baseball is a little bit different.
It's an individual game and the teams I actually talked
last time we were on, I talked about fading the Braves.
To me, after the entries they had, that was something
you would do, and they have yet to win a
game since that's the kind of thing I'm looking to
do going into the break. Once the break starts, they
may come out with a little bit of extra after that,
but right now with the team who was expected to
make the playoffs is not going to make the playoffs,
that's the team I'm looking to fade.
Speaker 4: I went for and one yesterday MLB, so celebrating tonight.
I'm one hundred and one plus on the year in units,
so I've doubled the bank roll in six months. I'm
pretty thrilled about that. Regarding before All Star Break, yes,
but managers are all different. They're all individuals, and you
see unexpected things like yesterday they took skeens out after
seventy eight pitches. Next batter boom game over. You lost
your losers. So maybe they'll give some guys some extended
rests perhaps, or maybe they'll work the bullpen a little
bit harder. You have to kind of see which manager
does what you can work the bullpen a little bit
harder because you know they're going to get three days
off pretty soon, two or three days off. So yeah,
you got to kind of watch each manager individually. But man,
those pirates are losers.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they didn't score a run all weekend, which
is on charger because the games were pretty good and
they had actually played very good ball coming in coming
into that weekend.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they could not score a single run up
in Seattle.
Speaker 2: I'll I'll chime in here and just say that like
I've always looked at it like that, Togy Brant, And
you make a good point about bullpens. I think that's
actually a really good point coming in like going into
Saturday Sunday, especially teams that really feel like they need
that win. Yeah, you can like unload the bullpen, because
why not, you don't have to play for a few
days now. I do think managers are respectful of guys
that might go to the all Star Game. But it's
only going to be a couple, especially especially when you're
talking about relief pitchers.
Speaker 1: It's only going to be a couple from a couple
different teams.
Speaker 2: I do think you have to proceed with caution though,
Like think about this, Like these guys have been this is.
Speaker 1: Still their job.
Speaker 2: They've been going to work every day since what when
do they you know, a lot of these guys reported
we'll call it early March, right, some even sooner than that.
I do think, you see, like it's anyone like you
ask anyone in the chat if you know, for the
first time in six months.
Speaker 1: Are you are?
Speaker 2: How productive are you at your job those final few days?
Like it's it's just human nature to start checking out
a little bit. And so maybe not so much tonight, Tomorrow, Wednesday,
but like when you get this Friday, Saturday, and even
Sunday of this week, I don't know that I've made
a bet on Sunday in Major League Baseball prior to
the All Star break that often in recent years, because
that's when I really feel like you start to see,
just like you know, total crapshoot games are just very,
very unpredictable, maybe even more so than they usually are.
So yeah, it's good. It's a good thing to point
out that. I think this is just a very different week.
You've got a week off coming up, and everyone's a
little bit different. But it is a good Uh, it
is a good talking point. I still, guys, and this
is gonna transition into our first game. I know Adam
Gianni have to be crashing out with how the Tigers
will just not stop winning. I can't I tell you
the last time I faded the Tigers. I've been on
every show saying that the Tigers are probably the play.
Speaker 1: They're just not value.
Speaker 2: I don't understand why people associate me with Tigers hate
because like a month ago, I took a shot against
him I think when they were playing the Giants and
picked incorrectly. Since then, last week I gave the Tigers
out to clients as a four percent play in the
first leg of their doubleheader with the Nationals.
Speaker 1: They won by a million. So once again, I just
don't get it.
Speaker 2: I've never at any points that I didn't like this
Tigers team.
Speaker 1: I said they were overvalued. They still probably are. That's
that's the thing.
Speaker 2: Two things like I can like a team but still
think they're overvalued. I talked to Sean who's in the
chat here yesterday, and he's like, he pointed out SCHOOLBA
Guardians whatever. I said, Okay, yeah, but like minus two twenty,
minus two thirty, what's the point, right, Like, it's not
that I didn't think they would win the game, is
that I just think they're overvalued. I got to be honest,
Brian Leonard, I think they might even be a little
bit overvalued here, because this is a perfect example of
a team that has already done enough. They could lose
every game the rest of this first half right this week,
and they've already done more than enough. Does aj Hinch
get a little bit more liberal with the bullpen usage
this week?
Speaker 1: Not really want to burn out certain arms? Good talking points?
Speaker 2: This is a nationally televised game tonight, Raised Tigers, How
are you looking at this one?
Speaker 3: Yeah? First off, I wouldn't get too excited about that
Tigers win yesterday. They were a two twenty favorite and
it was zero zero after the eighth inning. Scooball once
again terrific. But if you have the Tigers at that
point going into the ninth inning minus two twenty, you
weren't very happy now. They did get the victory and
that was great, but you know it's they played on
tough for eight innings for a team that right now
is the worst team in Major League Baseball. All that's
leaven Guardians. Baz is the starter for Tampa Bay today.
We're looking at maybe about a one twenty four favorite
eight and a half. It looks like Detroit is probably
going to go with the bullpen for the entire game.
Jame Baz has been looking pretty good four point three
three ERA, three point eight zero expected one point twenty
five with but lately he's been tearing it up. Last
time out he faced the Athletics seven innings, three hundred runs.
Time before that against the Royals eight and zero. He
just struggle a little bit against against Tampa Bay or
shoose me against Detroit gave up five and five point one.
But before that another good couple of good outings, three
more iddings five, five or six more good outings. So
he's been very good as of late. And he's a guy,
which is why you'd like to take a look at
this is the line is telling you that right now,
I think Tampa Bay on the route to Detroit is
a good bet. My only concern is Detroit's very good
pitching staff all the way through, and as we mentioned yesterday,
the school ball went along, the bullpen did well in
that regard and they didn't have to use a lot
of key arms. So somewhat leaning with Detroit in this one,
but it's slight value at least for me.
Speaker 4: So looking at both of these are two really well
run teams generally speaking, great managing, great coaching, great everything.
I have Detroit's bullpen underperforming right now. I have them
ranked twenty in current form, where I have Tampa Bay
rank sixteen. Baz is one of those guys who's to me,
he seems inconsistent, like every time I play him he loses,
and when I stay off him, he wins. And it's
just one of those guys who I never have good
luck going with. If anything, I think I would go
with an over in this one, because I have Detroit's
bullpen underperforming right now and I have Tampa Bay's bullpen
under under fifteen out of thirty. Both teams good hitting
teams and in good form as well. So if anything,
I would bet an over. I haven't done it yet.
I doubt I will because too many X factors here
for me, but I would go over if I went anything.
Speaker 1: So I'm just going to respond to a couple comments.
Speaker 2: And also i'll start with the bullpen's see, I think
if anything to raise, bullpen has underperformed like it comparative
to the Tigers. So if you're looking, if you watch
the Tigers play, the bullpen is fine and it hasn't
been under It hasn't underperformed at all. The reason they
have numbers that would maybe show that is they've either
been crushing teams or they were down to the Nationals
by five six runs and said the hell with it
and we'll just you know, it was like mop up duty.
So if you're just straight up looking at leverage innings,
the Tigers they're great in every high leverage spot.
Speaker 1: They're just exceptional.
Speaker 2: Whereas the Rays blew blew one for me on Saturday
and I can't believe that I lost five to one
lead in the sixth inning. And I'll go to this
comment I starred here from Nance s Nance. First of all,
if this is your first time commenting, welcome in. I
don't recognize the name. We appreciate you tuning in, appreciate
the comments, and he makes a point here that I
think is very interesting.
Speaker 1: But I want to counter this.
Speaker 2: He says, two best managers in the game Kevin Cash
aj Hinch. I'm gonna disagree with Kevin Cash. That dude
manages off a spreadsheet he can. He might as well
not even be in the dugout half the time. I
think he has absolutely no feel for what's going on
in the baseball game. AJ Hinch absolute wizard. Put him
up there with the Astros manager for Manager of the year.
Speaker 1: They're They're incredible.
Speaker 2: Kevin Cash just looks at some spreadsheet that some mit
grad sends him down before the game.
Speaker 1: Might as well not even be watching the game. Took
Taj Bradley out after he gets pain, makes the biggest
pitch of the game eighty eight pitches and goes to
a worse right handed pitcher from his bullpen in that
game against the Twins five to one, blows the game,
blows the lead.
Speaker 2: Of course, the the famous example of that was Blake
Snell in the playoffs a few years back. I buy
the Rays organization being very analytically ahead of what other
organizations are doing. I don't think it has I don't
think it's Kevin Cash because I think he I don't
think he ever manages with feel ever, and you can't
be the best manager if you have no feel for
what's going on in the game. Aside, back to this game,
it's probably Kaider Montero.
Speaker 1: He last pitched for Toledo on July first.
Speaker 2: Believe he was the listed starter in a game that
got or I'm sorry he was listed yesterday.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I can't remember if you got rained out or they
played yesterday or he got scratched late.
Speaker 1: But the point is he didn't pitch.
Speaker 2: So my guest here is it's Tiger's opener, followed by Montero.
Speaker 1: Who who are our buddy?
Speaker 2: Sean has pointed out a couple of times as we
do this show, he's been very good at home, and
I think that, Yeah, he says it's Montero.
Speaker 1: He's been very good at home. Can't dispute that. But
I still like Baz, and you know what, the Rays
are still a good ball club.
Speaker 2: I know Lowe is probably not playing left yesterday gets
game with an injury.
Speaker 1: I don't that to me does not make a huge deal.
Speaker 2: I know he had a hit street going, but the
next guy up isn't really like much worse than him
in my opinion, so I'm leaning towards the Rays. What
I hope is gonna happen here is some Tigers money
rolls in throughout the day, because I do think some
people are gonna see this plus price with the Tigers
and jump on if they can drive this price down
a little bit. I may play back with the Rays
because I still think Baz and the Rays with the
setup that they have today is more favorable than Kyder Montero,
regardless if he's had good numbers at home or not.
So I lean raise, but I have not bet it yet.
And it doesn't mean I don't like the Tigers, Brian Leonard.
It just means that I think it's a decent spot
for the raise at what I hope to be a
good price. And Nance says I'll get him back up here,
make suspect moves every game, can't argue with success. Yeah,
he's in it every year with nothing to work with,
Brian Leonard, Is that the is that the organization or
is that Kevin Cash?
Speaker 1: In your opinion, I don't have.
Speaker 3: Any problem with Kevin Cash. I thought he's done very
well with what he has there. I like the way
they managed the games. Yeah, he might be doing something
that's already preprogrammed. But there's a lot of times it's
good to know what the numbers say before you make
a gut decision. You know, people always say you play
by your gut or make a gut decisions. The gut
has never been something that helps helps you. It's what
you've done in the past, is your brain. So but yeah,
it's it's a it's a organization, and I would not
have any problem saying these are the top two managers myself.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on.
Speaker 2: I thought that was an interesting discussion, and that is
a national TV game tonight, so I wanted to give
it some shine here. Of course, everyone in our chat
loves the Tigers, so we've got to talk about the Tigers.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna move on.
Speaker 2: Colin Gregory says, Boston's getting hot, young kids coming around,
Trevor Story is getting healthy, and Trevor Story's old team
coming to town.
Speaker 1: It looks like it should be an easy win for Boston.
Speaker 2: I'm not so sure, Brian Leonard is, are the Red
Sox a little overvalued here?
Speaker 1: Home against the Rockies tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to think that they're not overly excited
to play this team, other than the chance to play
against the Squirrel pick up some wins. Let's take a
quick look at the line here Colorado. Gomber, a lefty
against fits for Boston and he's about two twenty two
and about nine and a half over or ten to
the under in this game. Gobber is a guy who
we usually try to go against. And we've got a
Colorado team that right now on the season is starting
to get back to where they were again. They got
one victory, I believe, out of the weekend series against Chicago,
and we probably should have saw that half. I probably
shouldn't have been should have been on that yesterday. It
makes a total a whole lot of sense. The White
Sox aren't going to sweep many teams on the road.
But Austin Gaber going for Colorado, and he's at a
five point four to nine ERA six point one four expected,
one point five to three whip. He's not been good.
His fastball velocity is in the second percentile. He's usually
a guy we're looking to fade Boston. Richard Fitts, We've
talked about him many times. Everybody liked him before the season,
but his numbers just haven't been there this year. Four
point five Oh we are five point six' nine expected
one point two to five. Whip DO i Think colorado
wins this? Game, NO i do not Think colorado wents this.
GAME i Think boston has a pretty good offense of game.
Here AM i willing to lay two twenty with fits
who is not really put forth one really solid game
all season? Long probably, Not but you're not going to
get rich on the Road, rockies and SO i don't
Play colorado on the. Road The Rocky Road rockies are
not SOMETHING i want Lean boston but won't get.
Speaker 4: There so The rockies are eleven and thirty three on the,
road which means they're winning one out of every four
games on the road that they're. Playing boston is ripping
the ball right. NOW i got them ranked number one
in all OF mlb for. Offense maybe a crooked game
here and there would skew those, numbers but there's no
doubt that their offense is definitely in the top one
third OF. Mlb their bullpen pretty, mediocre But colorado's bullpen is.
Poor colorado's lineup hitting a lot better than they were
at the beginning of the, season but still right around
The mendo's a mediocre line ranked with all other. Teams
gomber surprisingly has good numbers against These boston hitters in his.
Career it's only a sample size at twenty, four but
his average against his one sixty seven is ops against
his four. Fifty that's incredible. NUMBER i don't know IF
i can trust the sample size. Though If BOSTON'S i,
mean just looking at it on the, peripheral If boston's
team total is five and a, HALF i might think
about going. Under but, NA i, mean their offense is
cranking it too, well And colorado's bullpen is, bad So
i'll probably stay off. It but keep in, mind you,
know this is. Baseball even the worst teams in, baseball
they can win one out of four. Games so which
one of the four is it gonna be For colorado
is the. QUESTION i doubt it's today, Though so that's
about ALL i. Have i'm not Gonna i'm not gonna play.
Speaker 2: It someone in the chat made a, Point, yeah like
The Red sox probably Get yoshida back, here but, LIKE
i don't, know does he make a huge. Difference probably. Not,
yeah it so it's a it's a talking. POINT i
don't think he really changes that lineup at this. Point
Jave cash Leans. ROCKIES i Lean rockies. TOO i don't
know IF i will bet. This i'll point out SOMETHING
i pointed out last week WHEN i backed The rockies
and cashed with. Them Since june fifteenth against plus one
and a, half they're ten and. TEN i think they're
like something like nine and eleven straight up in that
in that, stretch but ten and ten against the plus
one and a half run, line which essentially even in
That White sox. Series, now the plus one and a
half that they won in the light in The White
sox series was a little bit. Juice the vast majority
of those plus one and a half wins have either been.
Speaker 1: Like even money or they've even gotten a little plus.
Money so if you've been if you've just straight up.
Speaker 2: Road rockies plus one and a half Since june, fifteenth
you are. Up you're up money right now most likely
because there you're. Not you haven't laid juice on many
of those.
Speaker 1: Losses let's put it, like let's put it that. Way
you're not asked to lay juice on on. It here
Either rockies with a free run on the road is even.
Money the problem for me is And i'll go back
to Something Brian leonard, Said i'm not dying to back
to Back Austin. Gomber but Also Richard fitz being this
price at holl being this price is. Crazy he's a
guy who watched a ton during his time At wooster
never really you, know to, me he's like a guy
in The bigs that comes out of the bullpen in long.
Relief like, that to me is what he is at
the big league, level not a.
Speaker 2: Starter so there's no WAY i could play The Red
sox because the other thing is too we know The
Red sox can. Can he have the hitting woes at,
times and as soon as this team starts to not,
hit they look a lot like The. Rockies Right, like
we've had stretches this year where The Red sox have looked.
Awful when they don't, hit they look bad. SOMETIMES i, mean,
now granted their pennis kept them in, games and they'll
be in low scoring, games BUT i don't, Know Like
i'm STILL i like the upside long term with guys
Like Roman anthony and and sort of What boston's doing
long term right. Now this team's not good enough to
be a minus two fifty, favorite even if it's against The.
Rockies so DO i have the stones to do it
and make it an actual? Play probably, not but certainly
think The rockies are value in this. Spot they've just
played better baseball Since june. Fifteenth all, Right Andrew, Wheedler,
yes can we talk About Phillies? Giants we absolutely. Can
he wants to talk about the total he likes under.
Seven only looks like there could be some pitching in that.
Game giants haven't hit lefties well this, year but they
got to one last night for a, win playing a
ten p Seven Eastern sunday night.
Speaker 1: Game Brian, leonard that can only mean one.
Speaker 2: Thing The a's were trying to make a few dollars
off a fireworks night or something. Like that's the only
THING i can think of as to why that game
was so late last, night but not part Of sunday night.
Baseball back to Oh, No, giants back, home other side
of The, Bay Phillies, giants how you see in this?
Speaker 3: One? Yeah obviously not very far for travel For San. Francisco,
sanchez a lefty going Against, roupe a. Righty philadelphia right
now looks to be about a one forty five favorite
total of, seven slightly to the. Over we look at
the statcast, page we've Got Christopher sanchez very good season
two point SIX eightyra three point zero two expected one
point one to three. Whip his ninety eight or ninety
five percent tilid ground ball, rate so he doesn't give
up a lot of fly balls the extension ninety third,
percent so that ball gets on here really. Quick his
barrel rate eighty six. Percent he's keeping everybody off. Balance,
yeah he's pitching very, well and he's somebody you want
to look. At look to. Back let's take a look
at his splits on the season left or from home and,
away very. Similar actually his era is lower on the
road two point four to, two but his whip is
lower at. Home so very consistent, left regardless of where he.
Plays Randon Landing roote three point four to EIGHTY ra
four point one five expected one point four to eight.
Whip he's got a ten percent walk, rate which contributes to.
That that's something you have to take into. Account The
phillies will take a walk once in a, while and
a lot of times they've got such a deep. Lineup
if you put that extra guy, on they can do some.
Damage Lady rop overall is in the eighty seconds percentle
and hard hit rate seventy ninth and Average exxon. Velocity
it doesn't have That gredma. Fastball his fastball is only
the twenty fifth, percentile walk grate twenty fifth. Percentile in this,
GAME i lean with the under, here but the seven
and a halfs were taken out before the, show so
we're down to seven. Here The giants continue to struggle to.
Hit they did get the third basement, back which is
a big. Help but facing a lefty, here a very
good lefty Against, santiaz somewhat like the under. Here Maybe
San francisco team total under something of that. Nature that's
What i'm looking at in this.
Speaker 4: Game Christopher sanchez not a guy That i've really liked
up to this, season but you, know numbers and results don't.
LIE i have him ranked number eleven out of two
hundred and fifty starting. Pitchers he's been really good this,
season and he's actually really good on the, road and
he's actually really good against The. Giants so really good
plus really good plus really good usually equals really. Good
SO i expect him to perform well. Tonight giants bats
pretty flat at the MOMENT i got him. Ranked let's,
see got him ranked nineteen out of, thirty AND i
Got philadelphia ranked around fourteen little. Better they went on
a little bit of a lull last. Week they weren't
really hitting very, well but they have a lot more
talent in the lineup Than San francisco. DOES i don't
think anyone would argue THAT i got both bullpens performing
quite well right, now which would make me tend to
think Under BUT i don't Like route at. All his
numbers Against philadelphia and his career are. Bad i've got
him ranked twenty one out of thirty on a curve of.
Thirty Like brian was talking about his expected, Numbers they're not.
Good the ONE i mean he's. Walking his walk ratio
is alarming as. Well his walks to strikeouts ratio quite.
Alarming Where sanchez is, Stellar sanchez is only walking fifteen
percent of the batters he strikes. Out where Or, yeah
And raup is walking seventy one percent of the. Batteries
he's striking a horrible. Rate philadelphia would be the only
way to. Go one thing to note Is wheeler pitched
a complete game, yesterday So philadelphia's bullpen is one hundred percent.
Rested San francisco played late last night and they're traveling as,
well so don't or, no they're they're traveling back, home
uh and coming back. Home you, know guys tend to
be flat a little. Bit philadelphia does have to travel
across the, country but they've finished their game a lot
earlier Than San francisco finished there and the travel really
doesn't affect the starting pitchers because they didn't play. Yesterday so,
Overall i'd Say philadelphia or an under, here perhaps Because
philly's bats might be a little rusty coming out of the.
Gate so that's HOW i look at this. ONE i
probably will play it, Too.
Speaker 2: YEAH i mean it's tough TO i feel like the
books sort of took you out of the range of
like really a way to really play it Under, YEAH
i mean under, Set like do you really want to
play under?
Speaker 1: Seven?
Speaker 2: No that to me is LIKE i could see if
maybe you're getting seven and a half where you could
land four or three and still, win because there is
reasons to think that this might go Under Landing root's
been good enough for me long term he's been Someone
i've wanted to. BACK i don't think IT'S i think
he probably pitches good enough.
Speaker 1: Here sanchez should be.
Speaker 2: Fine The giants have been bottom sort of bottom ten
against left handed PITCHING wrc plus all. Season and you,
know they kind of got to The a's pitcher last.
Night why CAN'T i remember that it was At, Lopez
Jacob lopez last, Night, like, yeah finally got to him
in the fifth.
Speaker 1: Inning it's not like they did much before.
Speaker 2: That SO i have no interest in backing This giants
team against the lefty right now because they've really struggled
against left handed.
Speaker 1: Pitching SO i think for, me LIKE i actually don't
mind The.
Speaker 2: Phillies the price is a little bit up, there you,
know but LIKE i think the price is probably. Correct
but you give me a What Christopher sanchez is bordering
on being an elite left handed. PITCHER i, mean he
is right up there with the top left handed pitchers
in the.
Speaker 1: League you give me.
Speaker 2: Him giants coming off of a, win had you, know,
yes there was travel to come back, home but they
had A i, thought an okay series this.
Speaker 1: Weekend this is a good spot for The.
Speaker 2: Phillies not the best price but it's a good spot
in my opinion for, them even even with them having
to come across the. COUNTRY i just think that they
met like they match up better against right handed pitching
from an offensive, standpoint and The giants really struggle against,
lefties and they're up against a very good lefty. Here
SO i don't know if that'll be By, parlayle BECAUSE
i got some OTHERS i want to talk, about BUT
i do have a pretty strong lean toward The phillies.
Here all, right we got to talk about this, one
AND i guess we got to kind of acknowledge what
happened in this series over the. Weekend Steve duke, Says
yamamoto versus The. Brewers brewers kind of, suck but they've
got a few hitters going all. Right right, now the
bigger story here is The dodgers getting slapped around all
weekend by The Sugarland Space Cowboy, astros who are somehow
twenty games over five hundred with a roster of guys
that was entirely in TRIPLE a last, year with the
exception of Jose Al tube and maybe like one other
guy on the.
Speaker 1: Roster it's truly been.
Speaker 2: Incredible Brian, lennon what do you make of The dodgers
falling flat on their face this?
Speaker 1: Week and do the bounce back against The brewers?
Speaker 3: Here oh, OKAY i thought we were gonna talk about The. Astros, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: We'll do that one Next sorry about.
Speaker 3: That, okay and Then i'm gonna need to find everything.
On let's Let brandon start off and we'll go to.
Speaker 4: That, okay, Bad, yeah, sure no. Problem Uh So dodgers
just got. Swept and so what that tells me, is you,
know they're using a patchwork rotation and they're starting guys
Like Landon nak and the other guys we never heard.
Of and you, know you can get away with that
with loser teams like The brewers or The pirates or
something like, that but you can't get away with that
with The. Astros and so that kind of just showed
you you, can you, can you, know patchwork a rotation
together and beat those mediocre, teams but you can't beat
the elite. Teams, so, uh now they're playing The brewers
and AND i said it last week when we were
sparring With, yeah The brewers have have tailspinned a little
bit since since that loss in The mets, series and
the metsive skyrocketed since then as, well AND i expected.
That But paralta is a good. Picture Young malta is
a good picture cy young. MATERIAL i don't know if
he's gonna make The Cy young because he's got some
steep competition With, wheeler et. Cetera but, Uh paralta is
a good, pitcher got good numbers against These, dodgers and
The dodgers bullpen is not. Good The brewers' bullpen is really.
Good so, UNFORTUNATELY i would love to see The dodgers
win BECAUSE i have a. FUTURE i have many futures
on The. Dodgers but, UH i think The brewers are
going to win one of these, games and this might be.
It this looks like a two to One brewers win
to me.
Speaker 3: On The Dodgers Young amoto Against paralta right now on the.
Road The dodgers about it one twenty eight favorite in
a total of seven and a half to the over
or eight to the. Under M moto has been excellent
all season. Long two point five one, era two point
eight two, expected one point one whip let's tick a
look at his splits Here home went away at home
three point three eighty. Ra he has been excellent on
the road five and, two one point five seven eras
zero point eight three. Whip that's. Rare normally teams pitch
players pitch better at, home but he's pitched better around
the road this. Year and he's very. Good we all
know about. Him nineth percentile and ninety first to ground ball,
rate so he doesn't give up fly. Balls BUT i
like This milwaukee. Team freddy Par alta just made The
All Star. Team comes in two Point both of these
guys actually made The All Star. Team Par alto comes
in two point nine ONE era three point seven to
two expected one point zero nine. Whip he does have
a problem with barrel percentage twenty eight, percentile ground ball
right twenty, fifth so he's more willing to give up
that home. RUN i believe the last time out the
home runs what he gave up in that. Game so
that's the thing we're looking for, here is you got
A milwaukee team that could possibly give up home. Runs
and that's one thing that these power, teams teams with
a lot of, money The, dodgers The, yankees those type
of teams have a lot of good power. Hitters that's
the concern For. Peralta so in this, Game i'm probably
not going to get, involved but it just shows The,
dodgers or as good as they, are it can lose
three in a. Row it happens in, baseball it happens
to us this. Handicappers sometimes the best handicappers, lose and
sometimes the best baseball teams. Lose i'll be passing on this.
Speaker 5: One, YEAH i, mean you, Know, dot this FEELS i
feel like we had a spot like this for The, dodgers.
Speaker 1: Maybe a, month maybe like five weeks. AGO i want to.
Speaker 2: Say it Was yamamoto coming off losses pitching In, arizona
and he pitched pretty.
Speaker 1: Good The dodgers still managed to lose the.
Speaker 2: Game you, know it was kind of like the spot
where you just everyone just assumed that he was going
to stop the. Bleeding he came out pitch, good and
The dodgers still lost the, game which probably speaks to
the fact that they are sort of mixing and matching
in the.
Speaker 1: Bullpen right.
Speaker 2: Now you Mentioned, Knack roboleski's kind of been in. THERE i,
mean these are these are TRIPLE a arms that they've,
had you, know even even Benk, caspiraus WHO i think
is a big. Leaguer he's AN mlb caliber, talent but
like he spent the majority of careers of his career
at this point starting games In TRIPLE, a most of
his his appearances at the big league level have been
like balk innings out of the. Bullpen so, yeah you
have some very inexperienced starters out there for The dods right,
now and so it doesn't really surprise me that they
would lose a few games in a. Row Freddy buralta
is an, ace BUT i have to say the bullpen
probably lines.
Speaker 1: Up a little better here for The. Dodgers just from
a usage.
Speaker 2: STANDPOINT i lean toward The dodgers because my gut says
they probably turn around and win. One BUT i don't
know if minus won forty is the PRICE i want to,
Pay and you know, WHAT i don't think it's going
to get better than, that BECAUSE i do think like.
This this feels like a spot where money comes in
on The dodgers and then drives it up even. Further
So i'll just move it on BECAUSE i JUST i
don't see HOW i get involved in this game unless
The brewers take money and THEN i can play The
dodgers at WHAT i consider would be a nice. Discount
that's probably the only way THAT i take a shot
with The, dodgers even though if you force me to
PICK a OR, B i'd probably just roll With. Yamamoto
the better lineup and what is the better. TEAM i
don't care what anyone. Says The dodgers at full strength
are the best team in. Baseball they're not there, yet
but they're, close and it's still very difficult against this
baseball team in my. Opinion, Okay Brian, LEONARD i threw
you a, curveball BUT i do want to talk about The.
Astros Colin gregory, says Hose A joe spot a manager
of The. Year, yeah how could you disagree with? That
at this, POINT, I, i you, know very playfully called
them The Sugarland Space Cowboy astros because they have so
many guys THAT i didn't think would really make an
impact on.
Speaker 1: A big league roster this. Season yet they're just it
hasn't seen the.
Speaker 2: Matter Jordan alvarez out Since may, Second Alex bregman now
resides In, boston right they lost him in the. Offseason
tucker is another guy that they no longer, have and
yet this team is twenty games over five hundred and
just come just coming off of a sweep of The.
Dodgers one of those guys Is Colton, gordon who, Again,
Gordon Ryan, Gusto Brandon.
Speaker 1: WALTER i, mean if you.
Speaker 2: Told me one of these guys was going to be
really good at the big league level this, year, fine
but all three kind of making up a rotation and
having a team twenty games over five, hundred mind blowing.
Stuff they're playing Your, guardians who you just called the
worst team in.
Speaker 1: BASEBALL i don't. Know do The guardians bounce back in
this series at? All do The astros come back To?
Earth To? Earth that's the question everyone wants to.
Speaker 4: Know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Actually houston's been extremely impressive to. Me they had
two of their starters that they expect coming on coming
into the. Season one of them hasn't even pitched. Yet so,
yeah they've had as many injuries as other teams that
they've been able to do it with depth as opposed
to star. Power does that mean That houston, says you,
know we look so good this year with these injured,
players maybe we don't NEED i, mean and they trace
some of their better players off again next, year so
we'll have to. See but, Yeah. Cleveland, Unfortunately i'm A cleveland.
Fan i've been watching all these games and they are.
Horrendous offensively talked about. That The troy game yesterday go
scoreless through. Eight bobby's on the mound Against. Gordon we're
looking At gordon, here probably about a one thirty eight
favorite seven and a. Half gordon's a. Lefty cleveland does
not hit. Lefties they haven't hit lefties all season. Long right,
now they've got a sixty seven W rc plus and
stune first in that. Regard not a good hitting. Team
i've said it all year. Long they only had two
major league bats in the, lineup And kwan is slumping
and so. Yep not looking for much offense out Of cleveland.
Today Tanner, biby he every time he takes us one step,
forward he seems to take two steps back two or
four point two ohe a three point six to two
expected one twenty four. Whip can't get inbody your. CHASE i,
mean it's in the fifth percentile In Chase. Ray that's
not something we usually see out of. Him he's started
to have a few more strikeouts than earlier in the,
year but he's now he's starting to fade back. Again
Colton gordon a. Lefty this will be his tenth start
of the season In Misjor league. Baseball he comes in
with a four point three seventy, ear a three point
seven four expected one point four to one. Whip the
thing that concerns me with him is despite the one
point four to one, whip his walk grade is three
point five. Percent he's been, excellent so that's telling me
he's putting the ball right in the middle of the
plate and letting the other teams take a good swing at. It,
yeah he's great at the walk grate ninety eighth percentile
extension eighty, fifth but his fifth percentage seventh percentile breaking
run value breaking ball run value fourth still has some.
Concerns but then, again he is a lefty going against
This cleveland team And cleveland is not hitting at. All
and this is going to be my part of the parlay.
Today i'm gonna play The cleveland team total under three
and a half minus. One, yes The houston bullpen has
been used up a little bit the last few. Days,
Yes houston is just coming off a sweep on the
roads of The. Dodgers, Well this is a team that's
used to a lot of winning the last few. Years
a lot of veteran players on this, TEAM i don't
TAKE i think they Take cleveland for granted. HERE i
think they shut them down offensively In houston gets a
Victory cleveland under three and a, half minus one thirty
on the team.
Speaker 4: Total so The astros just swept the best team in
baseball on the, road and they come back home and
face one of the worst teams In Major League. Baseball every,
number every, stat every intangible points to an Obvious astro.
Win and those are the games that you usually. Lose
and as we have our colleague here At wayjatak one
of the, Founders, marco he likes to use the term
fat and. Sassy The astros are fat and sassy right.
Now and, teams, LOOK i generally don't like to play
spots like flat spot or stuff like. That that's not
my style of a. Kapper but, man my first impression, was,
MAN i got to run to the window and put
a grand On houston because they're just gonna crush. Them
but when you sit back and think about, it these
are the kind of games you lose because coming back,
home you, know you see your, wife you see your,
kids you see your, dog you sleep in your own,
bed you feel really. Relaxed and, GENERALLY i know some
people might think it's, fallacy but, actually when you come
off off a really good road, trip it just swept
the best team IN, mlb it's just prime for a
flat spot. HERE i think maybe The astros team total
under might be. GOOD i don't Like Tanner, baby but
The astros. ARE i just think they're going to come out.
Flat NOW i could be. Wrong they could come out
and just put an eight spot up, on but this
is a Game i'm gonna stay away.
Speaker 3: FROM i think if a team comes out, flat it's the,
batters not the, picture because the picture had. Nothing the
pitcher had nothing to do with that series winning In.
La so which is WHY i like the team total
under is. True and because you're. Right IF i had to,
PLAY i played the under overall. Too it would makes
a lot of sense to fade The Houston batters. Here
so we'll see how.
Speaker 4: True and in most, cases the starting pitcher might not
even travel with him on the. Road he might even
he might have been back home the whole. Time so,
Yeah i'm going to stay away from this. One although every,
intangible every, number every piece of, data everything Says houston's
gonna win this fifteen to, NOTHING.
Speaker 1: I disagree with. THAT i don't.
Speaker 2: THINK i mean my, numbers my numbers like like like
here's the, thing, THOUGH i mean my numbers which are
are geared toward full, season actually lean toward The. Guardians
my numbers that are more short term bias lean toward The.
Astros this is a this is a game that's got
me in trouble in past. Years, Right, like IF i
liked The guardians pitcher in this, GAME i would probably
look for a way to take The, guardians BECAUSE i.
Don't i'm not a believer in The. Astros LIKE i
do Think aspot has done a tremendous. Job it's amazing
that they're they're where they're. At but LIKE i do
think from this point, forward if you play against The,
astros you'll probably make.
Speaker 1: Money that's.
Speaker 2: That that's HOW i honestly feel about the. Team AND
i feel that way even when you'red on his. BACK
i think they've played so over their heads to to
where they they should be that there's there's only gonna be,
regression especially against the number you, Know briant Uh gordon
is a minus one thirty five minus one forty favorite
Against Tanner. Bibby Now i'll Go i'll go to What brian,
said like has said all, Year. Biby it just isn't
the guy that he was a couple of years. Ago
he's not getting swing and. Miss he's not the GUY
i want to. Back So i'm not gonna like there's
just No this is one of those ones where it's
nice that we get to pick as that's our edge
against the, books, right we get to pick the games
we want to back to. BET i just don't see
the point IF i, Would now IF i could Get
guardians plus one and a half at some very very
fair price WHERE i was getting the run cushion on the,
road yeah MAYBE i would consider. That BUT i feel
Like i'm not getting enough with it being plus one twenty.
FIVE i feel like The guardians should be a bigger.
Underdog so even though that it could be a flat
spot for The astros and The guardians are gonna win
a game at some, POINT i just don't see any
real reason to do it. HERE i can't really argue
with liking the UNDER i don't like the full game
under at seven and a. HALF i think that's way too,
Low like you, know One Walter byby can easily have
a blow up. Bidding BUT i definitely see that the
merit in the discussion that you could have a couple
of flat Teams guardians. Dejected this is a team that's
probably dying to get to The All Star. Break get
a couple of days off or. Regroup The astros As
Tokyo brandon just, said just smacked around the best team in.
Baseball do they come in a little, bit you, know
a little bit overconfident to play a team that's lost ten.
Straight maybe that they don't hit or they don't you,
know do the little things to generate, runs which is
kind of what they've done this. Year so good luck To.
BRIAN i can't really disagree with. It he Likes guardians
team total under three and a. Half and that will
be the first leg of the. Parlay we've got fifteen
minutes of the show. Left please give us those, likes,
subscribes we'll get a three teamer locked in for you
by the end of the. Show over eleven hundred live,
viewers which we are so appreciative. Of we love how
the show has, grown and it's all thanks to you,
guys so like, subscribe drop us a.
Speaker 1: Comment we very much appreciate. It And i'm going to
go to a.
Speaker 2: Game i'm going to pick a game here THAT i
think could be my parlay leg when it's all set
and Down. Tokyo brandon talked about we may have actually
been talking off air about The. Pirates they didn't score
a run this, Weekend Brian, leonard not, one and that
was after they played pretty good ball coming into the.
Weekend now they weren't bad, games they were competitive, games
but The pirates just could not scratch one across AT
T Mobile park against The. Mariners now they head To Kansas,
city it's probably a better setup for. Them but how
are you seeing this One pirates And.
Speaker 3: Royals, yeah a lot of young players in the lineup
for The, pirates so you're going to see more up
and down from the hitters in that, regard because sometimes
they'd look absolutely horrendous this, year and when they scored
all those runs for the last week or, so that
was surprising to. ME a couple Of lufti's Going hany
And cameron, Here cameron And Kansas city laying about one
five total about nine slightly to the. Under my first
look at this is what are The royals doing lane
being a one forty five favorite. Here But Andrew, henney
he's taken some steps back since earlier in the season
when he had his success four point one SIX cra
four point five expected one point two oh. Whip basically
the only thing on his stetcast card is his fastball
run velocity is in the seventy fifth. Percentile other than,
that everything else is. Blue fastball velocity fourth, Percentile so
he's not going to blow you away with, that but
he does make the best of it with their run
value chart fifth, percentage twenty first, percentile expected batting average
Eighteen from a standpoint here For Noah, cameron a lefty
two point five SIX era and ten starts this, year
he's been very. Good SPECTOR dra three point three. Two
he's went one point, one but there is some blue
in his gass. Page, also fastball velocity nineteenth, percentile chase
rate twenty third, third extension thirty, second strikeout rate thirty. First,
uh he's the guy that's gonna put. It you're gonna
put it in in play with him and anytime you
put it in, play you get more variants in that.
Regard in fifty six and third, innings he's only struck
out forty three. Batters SO i expect a lot of
balls in play in this one between these, two and
that's probably not a good. Thing you looking at the
total of nine to the over or excuse, me the,
under or eight and half to the. Over IF i
had to play, IT i Play pittsburgh to get one
thirty one thirty one Against Kansas. CITY i don't like
this offense For, pittsburgh but they've been up and. Down
maybe they'll put it together, today but slightly to the
The pirates as an.
Speaker 4: Underdog so this game to me is like weakness versus,
strength and everything just kind of you, know deletes the
other side AND i come to. Nothing So i'm not
gonna play this. Game BUT i will tell you THAT
i Have Kansas city's lineup ranked almost dead. Last cleveland
is dead, Last Kansas CITY i have them close to dead,
last And Kansas city's bullpen not performing. WELL i have
The pirates bullpen ranked eleven and they're batting ranked. Twelve
so this is the Thing i'm struggling. WITH i Like. Heeney,
actually since he LEFT, la his walk ratio is pretty.
Good the problem is my numbers don't like. HIM i
got him ranked really, low like twenty four out of
thirty on a curve WHERE i Have Noah, cameron who's
walking a little bit too many for my, liking got
him ranked right on the mediocre line at. Fifteen SO
i don't. Know if you look at How cameron's performed,
lately it hasn't been as well as it was. EARLIER
i really liked him when he was on that stretch
where he was pitching six innings every, start but he's
not doing that, anymore SO i can't trust him for
the outs Prop So i'm gonna lay off, this BUT
i just wanted to share with you guys my rankings and.
Speaker 2: Numbers, YEAH i Think i'm going to lay off it,
too BUT i do want to talk about the game
really quickly and then we'll move. On steven, Says, Yep
pirates seem to have cooled off back to being The.
Pirates that's. YET i definitely agree with. That it's kind
of HOW i felt watching that series this. Weekend, AMAZINGLY
i believe they've now played in six straight.
Speaker 1: Shutouts that has to be like a. RECORD i think
they they had three shutouts of their own followed by
getting shut out three straight. Times i'd love to know
if that's ever happened in the history Of Major League.
Baseball team has now played in six straight. Shutouts i'm
sure it has. Somewhere they've been playing for over one hundred.
Years as far as this one's. Concerned the thing that,
so the thing that puts me off The.
Speaker 2: ROYALS i kind of like the idea of maybe The
royal at home felt like they played well over the
weekend In.
Speaker 1: Arizona but two things put me off The royals.
Speaker 2: Here one they haven't been great against left handed, pitching and,
two they haven't been great against fastballs this. Year and
even Though haiti doesn't have great Fastball, vlo he's thrown
his fastball, well As brian already kind of talked. About
So i'm kind of With brian The. Royals in my,
OPINION i would have loved to sort of ride Some
royal momentum out of That diamondback series BECAUSE i thought
they played good, ball but this is not the right
matchup to do.
Speaker 1: It, so And i'm kind of WITH tv on The
Noah cameron.
Speaker 2: Thing he's a guy THAT i really liked coming up
through The pirate The royals. Organization he was awesome At,
omaha came out and sort of went off on that great.
Speaker 1: Run he is definitely you, know he's.
Speaker 2: In that sort of mode where the major leaguers have
a little bit of a book on.
Speaker 1: Him now not he hasn't been quite as, Sharp SO
i guess very.
Speaker 2: Reluctantly pirates here for, me. VERYCTANTLY i think the price
is good enough to at least give them a.
Speaker 1: Look but this is another.
Speaker 2: One HAD i HAD i been able to Get pirates
plus one and a, half it's probably a.
Speaker 1: Play DO i want to put that in the?
Speaker 2: PARLAY i don't think, so BECAUSE i Think i'm gonna
go back to one that we that we had somewhere.
Speaker 1: Else, Actually i'll just give it out.
Speaker 2: Now i'm gonna Use rockies in the parlay plus one
and a, Half Ryan, Leonard CAN i get a price
on The rockies plus one and a?
Speaker 1: Half that's full. Game that's gonna be my parlay late.
Speaker 4: Alright aesticular fortitude taking The rockies on the road.
Speaker 3: Plus one and a half minus one our.
Speaker 1: Sticks, yeah that's starting to get a little. Run it
was even money when we got on the.
Speaker 2: SHOW i just just to go back to that game
for a very brief minute and then we'll, we'll you,
know hit one more game and THEN tv will give
us a.
Speaker 1: Parlay we'll get out of.
Speaker 2: HERE i just can't get behind The Red sox with
that picture being that big of a Favorite rockies ten
and ten against the run, line which we're playing here
Since june, Fifteenth so that's gonna be my parlay league the,
chat let's do. This since we got eight minutes, left
a couple people of the chat have asked about this.
Game SO i want to go to this game and
then we'll let you give us a leg to close it.
Speaker 1: Out Queen. Rocks Does toronto keep up their winning?
Speaker 2: Streak The Blue jays are are on some other level right.
Now who wants to step in front of this team right?
Now brian leonard.
Speaker 3: Youts The All star.
Speaker 1: Team, yeah popularity, contest that's why we. Have we Have
Clayton Kershaw All Star team this.
Speaker 4: Year who made it that it was.
Speaker 3: The next, Exception so, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah kershaw And kikui made it. Too come, on thank, You.
Speaker 3: Toronto burials Against Burke burials basically about a one sixty two,
favorite one sixty three, favorite eight and a. Half, Here
burke's been pitching a lot better. Lately burios one of
those guys THAT i can never seem to get. Right
every TIME i think he's, done the numbers say he's,
done and yet he comes out with a three point
sixty FOUR era on the. Season, now he's been getting
a little. Lucky four point seventy five, expected one point
two to four web barrel rate seventeenth percentile EXPECTED dra.
Seventeenth he can be, hit but he finds ways to.
Win he's a, veteran he's been around ten. YEARS i
always seem to overrate run excuse, me under eight, burials
so that's a that's a fault of. Mine Sean berg
four point zero THREE, era five point one three, Expected
so he's been a little bit. Lucky one point four oher,
whip great extension ninety thirty percentile his game. Logs if
you take it like what he's done, lately he's been very.
Good last time out against The, dodgers six, innings one earned.
Run before, that he Played arizona well we consider a
pretty good hitting. Team five innings zero in. Runs right
before that The cardinals five point one one earned. Run
do you take what he has done in his career
young career or do you take what he's done. LATELY
i like what he's done. LATELY i think he's a
guy that wicked make some money on. Though White sox
coming off a winning road series In. Colorado now they're
back calm Against, toronto who you have to think is
going to have a letdown after the situation they've been
in for the last two. WEEKS i kind of Like
Chicago White sox. HERE i wouldn't mind taking them in
that one forty eight. Range.
Speaker 4: YEAH i like The White sox here. Too i've never
been a huge barrier S. Fm he's pitching all, right
BUT i have his expecting numbers not very. Good berk's
been pitching, great AND i Have toronto's bullpen in current
form ranked very low twenty five out of. Thirty so
they're hitting. Though you can't deny they're the better hitting team,
here BUT i think The White sox have enough hitting
that they can be able to get this get this win.
HERE i like The White sox. Too I'M i might
not play. It i'm not fully, committed but IF i
had to play, IT i would play The White.
Speaker 2: Sox, yeah that's a it looks like we're going to
agree across the board, Here White sox plus one and
a half down in the plus minus one twenty minus,
one twenty five. Range i've been reluctant to fade The
Blue jays on this, run Which I'm i'm very happy
because here's here's the. Thing like The Blue jays are
a team THAT i was overly high. ON i kind
of like was on them before this little little. RUN
i DON'T i don't want to like contradict myself by
going against, them which is WHY i you, know there
was a spot like, YESTERDAY i didn't play a SINGLE
mlb game. YESTERDAY i did really Like angels plus one
and a.
Speaker 1: Half it got. There but, again Like i'm JUST i.
Speaker 2: Don't have a huge appetite to fade A Blue jays
team That i'm high.
Speaker 1: On right.
Speaker 2: Now that being, SAID i really like what The White
sox are. Doing so if, YOU i don't know, anyone
if you're out there Watching White sox, Baseball Will venable's
basically playing everyone like he's spreading around the innings so
much That it's like it's not even like guys are
it's not like guys are in a platoon so much
as it's just like he basically has, said, no we're gonna.
Play we're gonna play. Everyone everyone's getting at, bats we
want everyone to be. Fresh, yesterday for, example he's doing
the same thing with.
Speaker 1: Relievers so you, know this is a team that's thirty and.
Speaker 2: Sixty Will venable does not think he's gonna win this,
year but he can start to change the culture, there
AND i think that he's starting to do that a little.
Bit they won two games against The rockies where they
were the clear better. Team, yeah they blew yesterday's, game
but it was, Uh Mike vassel coming in to pitch
innings because he needed, Innings Like venable's just not he's
not managing the games like he wasn't managing yesterday's, game
like he had to win the, game. Right it was all,
right LIKE i use these. ARMS i want to Get
vassal some innings and that's just gonna be it because
we're thirty games under five. Hundred with that being, SAID
i think you can kind, of you, Know i'm gonna
almost approach them like A TRIPLE a, team Because TRIPLE
a does that right where it's like it's more. Developmental
you can kind of read the tea leaves as to
when they're gonna use their better arm like bullpen, arms
and when they might go for a. WIN i kind
of think they're gonna go for it, Here like this
has got to be exciting for The White. Sox they
just had a nice series at, course took two of.
THREE i thought they played okay against The. Dodgers you,
know they didn't get the results that they, wanted but
there was some good things to take away from that.
Series now they get to play at home against a
team that has been hotter than the.
Speaker 1: Sun just swet The.
Speaker 2: Yankees you gotta think The White sox might actually have
a little more juice than.
Speaker 1: The Blue jays.
Speaker 2: Here So burk's a guy that coming into the YEAR
i thought he might be their best. Pitcher now he
hasn't been better Than, smith but he's been. Okay And
barrios is someone that The White sox organization is for.
YEARS i Love barrios's when he's doubted a little Bit Brian,
leonard but when he is a favorite like this on the,
ROAD i feel like that's when you maybe can go
against him a little, bit so lean toward The White.
SOX i JUST i chose The rockies for the, parlay
BUT i kind of Have rockies in White sox on
that plus one and a half line is like equal.
Speaker 1: Value SO i agree with you.
Speaker 2: Guys andy Lang is in the chat, says great, show,

tune in noon Eastern friday Through, friday Wager talk YouTube, Channel. Tokyo,
Brandon i'm going back to. You do you have a
parlay leg to close us?
Speaker 1: OUT i.
Speaker 4: Do i'm gonna go and we didn't cover this, game
But i'll cover it real. Quick The rangers And, Angels
Uh rangers mats are starting to. Heat up a little
bit and The angels are ice. Cold jacob De, gram great. Picture,
Kikuchi how the hell did he make The All Star?
Game are you kidding?
Speaker 1: Me BUT.
Speaker 4: I like The rangers first five money line. HERE i
think The gram can hold him. Down his history against
these batters. Incredible, Uh and he's a good road. Pitcher
his his his road era is worse than his home,
era but it's still like two point. One SO i
think he's a pretty good. Pitcher so give me De
gram in the first five, Here.
Speaker 1: Ryan, leonard do you want to let's let's finish up
by talking about this. Game we'll go to. You and,
also can you give me a market price on that?
Speaker 3: That, yeah the market price is about one something in that.
RANGE i would, Think, Yeah kakuchi made it because he's
having a hell of a season and he's been extremely good.
Lately he's been very good all season long after that
depth coming, over we made fun of him coming over
to The angels after what he's, learned but now he's
pitching very. Well The gram is who he, is and he's,
great no doubt about. IT i would not have a
problem about playing this first half under the three and
a half, also you got two hot pitchers going up
against each other. Here just not going to be there for,
myself but just my.
Speaker 2: Thoughts, Yeah i'm With Tokyo. Brandon i've very much like
This rangers. TEAM i Still i've been waiting for them
to turn the. Corner they still really. Haven't they come
into play forty four and forty. Six they got me
twice last week by losing an extra. Inning so disappointing
there BECAUSE i feel like The rangers won pretty much
for most of their other. GAMES i tried to take
them in spots THAT i really like than they lost
an extra, innings so you, know go. Figure but you're,
right they. ARE i do think the bats are coming.
Around and even if the bats aren't coming, Around Tokyo,
brandon they they're a mature team in my. Opinion they've
they are are figuring out ways to put runs up
where like like there's been spots this week where they've
Made they're they're playing winning, baseball like even though they're
not knocking the absolute piss out of the ball right
now as a, team they're they're they're hitting good with
runners in scoring. Position they're they're they're moving runners over
like they're doing some little things and then they've got
pitching for days in that organization now.
Speaker 1: Where And i'll go back to the two extra eating
losses THAT i. TOOK i should know, BETTER i guess to,
LIKE i shouldn't be that upset about, that because the
one area of The rangers lack is high leverage relief.
Arms but they have a lot of good bullpen. Arms
so the bullpen depth is.
Speaker 2: Good they just don't have like the guy that you
want When manfred puts a ghost runner out there in
the tenth, inning Right that's that's where they don't have
like The Johan duran or the you, Know Robert suarez
to come in and get you out of that. Spot
otherwise they're deep in the. Bullpen they're. Good AND i
really go back to What Brian leonard said earlier this,
Year Jacob deGrom he wanted to sort of coast through
the regular, season and you, know kind of coast through
the regular, season stay, healthy get To august In, september
and get to his team with the.
Speaker 1: Playoffs this team needs him to go and shove.
Speaker 2: Right, now guys like they they need him to win his,
games AND i think that's been apparent the last couple
of times he's pitched seven innings to shut out. Ball
against The, orioles he went six the only you, know
he he kind of had an easier six innings because
The rangers had a big lead in last week's. GAME
i think the grom is gonna start to put this
team on his. BACK i think he wins again. Tonight
SO i am with, You Tokyo. BRANDON i hope you,
UH i hope you're you get there through the first.
Five that being, SAID i also agree With Brian. Leonard
kakuchi has been. Fantastic. Uh he had a Bad. April
he is been, outstanding uh for a team THAT i
don't think is a very good, team and he hasn't
had a ton of help team an organization That Brian
leonard has has eloquently pointed Out ruins starting. Pitching he's been.
Great SO i disagree. THERE i think he does deserve
to be An All. Star every team needs to be
represented in The All Star, game and he is deserving.
Speaker 1: Well every team needs.
Speaker 5: It All.
Speaker 3: Adele could have made it.
Speaker 1: Also, yeah but like, ye.
Speaker 4: He's the only pitcher in The All Star game with
a one three five.
Speaker 2: Whip LIKE i mean, okay, okay so so you could
have Gone Joe, Adele, LIKE i don't know why anyone
would have a problem With kakuchi being The Angels All
star representative over a.
Speaker 4: Deal because he's not An All. Star well, okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Starting change the rule that you have to have An
All star representative from every, team then, yeah you got
to think.
Speaker 3: Growing up and. Play WHEN i was a, kidd is
sucked every. Year that was our one thing to root
for was we knew we had one guy in the,
game and you helped he won THE, mvp.
Speaker 2: But you Had Albert bell and, listen The All Star
game is it is like you want to know? What
like before we get out of here AND i read
the parlay my hot, TAKE i don't think fans should.
Speaker 1: VOTE i think why do the fans have a? Set
that's the, Stupidest like why are the? Fans, yeah because
there's different teams have different sized fan, bases so you're
gonna get guys Like Max, munsey who's you, KNOW i
guess he's been good, lately but they're always gonna get more.
Votes why are the fans voting for The All Star?
Game that's dumb as dumb as the Ghost. RUNNER i
need another.
Speaker 2: Hour i'm gonna do an hour After Tokyo brandon On,
saturday And i'm just gonna bitch about THINGS i don't
like about the.
Speaker 1: Game, okay that's.
